Sara Lenton '11 prefers "cake over steak."
That's the name of the illustrated food blog the Moore alum has created reflecting her (mostly) sweet tooth and foodie philosophy.
Lenton, a 2011 graduate with an Illustration major and a minor in Graphic Design, creates original illustrations of food or beverages and her photographer fiancé Robert Cornelius photographs the work for her blog.
Lenton sells prints of her illustrations on her Etsy page with links to the blog item describing the work.
Each illustration takes about five to seven hours to complete on weekends and evenings. Between writing, editing, making the recipe and doing the photo shoot, her more elaborate posts can take between 12 to 15 hours to finish.
"My last two years of college I started getting really interested in food, mainly when I had to start cooking for myself," she said. "I started reading a lot of food blogs and cookbooks and fell in love with them. As a visual person, I'm not interested in reading a food blog unless it's pretty and has good photography. I thought that creating my own blog would be a good way to create personal (illustration) work again while talking about another passion of mine – food."
Lenton is also passionate about giving back to the College that helped nurture her talents. For that reason, from now until September 22, 2014, she is donating 50 percent of the profits from her Etsy shop to the Visionary Woman Scholarships for young female artists at Moore.
The Visionary Woman Awards, an annual event that recognizes women whose lives and careers have made a significant impact on the visual arts, will be held on September 23, 2014. The honorees include curatorial consultant and educator Helen W. Drutt English, painter Janet Fish and fashion designer Nicole Miller.
The awards hold special meaning for Lenton. She received a Visionary Woman Scholarship which allowed her to attend Moore. Ninety-five percent of students receive some form of scholarship money to attend the College.
"I applied to 11 schools and got into all of them," she said. "Moore was my first choice, but at that point I didn't know if I could go. Then I found out I had received the scholarship and that sealed the deal. Had I not received it, I probably wouldn't have been able to go to Moore."
During her time at Moore, Lenton was a resident assistant and a member of student government. When she graduated, she was named an Alumni Representative on the Board of Managers.
Lenton said she was recently listening to a podcast about giving back. She knew she wanted to contribute to Moore but didn't necessarily have the financial means to do so. Then she had an idea.
"I'm trying to grow my Etsy shop," she said. "Several people said they had been thinking of purchasing a print and would do it for the fundraiser. I thought it would be a good way to promote my blog and shop and promote the fundraiser. It's kind of a win-win."
When she's not hard at work at her blog, illustrations or planning her August wedding, Lenton works as a graphic artist at Gingrich Memorials, a monument business in Middletown, PA. There, she does custom hand etchings on gravestones. It's a 180 degree turn from her previous job designing ads for the Lebanon (PA) Daily News.
"It's really neat and a perfect blend of the skills I have with illustration and graphic design," she said. "I'm doing artwork on gravestones that people appreciate so much and it will literally be around forever because it's etched in granite."
It took time for Lenton to familiarize herself with the tools she had to use for her job, including the "diamond tipped Dremel tool" and a laser machine.
"They were surprised I caught on so quickly but I think a lot of it had to do with the way we learned to draw in the Illustration department at Moore," she said. "You're just looking at shapes and values. It's just drawing with a different medium. It's not a big deal. You just don't want to mess up."

Calan, Covera HS, Isoptin SR, Verelan are the brand names of the drug verapamil, which is used to treat high blood pressure and control chest pain known as angina.
The immediate-release tablet form of this medication is also used to prevent and treat irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia).
Although this medicine is not approved by the FDA for migraines, it is often prescribed for preventing them.
Verapamil is in a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels so the heart doesn't have to work as hard, increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart, and slowing electrical activity in the heart to control heart rate.
Verapamil was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1981.
The drug comes as a tablet, an extended-release tablet, and an extended-release capsule to take by mouth and injectable solution.
Verapamil is on the World Health Organization's "List of Essential Medicines," a list of the most important drugs needed in a basic health care system.
This medicine controls high blood pressure, arrhythmia, and angina, but it does not cure these conditions. You should continue to take verapamil even if you feel well.
Before taking verapamil, tell your doctor if you have or have ever had:
You should also tell your doctor you are taking verapamil before any type of surgery, including dental procedures.
Your doctor will likely start you on a low dose of verapamil and then gradually increase your dose.
You should keep all appointments with your doctor while taking this medicine. You will need your blood pressure checked regularly to determine how you are responding to verapamil.
If you take a certain version of the extended-release tablets, you might notice an empty tablet shell in your stool. This does not mean that you did not receive your complete dose of medication.
The safety of verapamil during pregnancy and while breastfeeding has not been determined.
You should tell your doctor if any of the following side effects are severe or do not go away:
Verapamil may cause serious side effects. You should call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following:
You should tell your doctor about all prescription, non-prescription, illegal, recreational, herbal, nutritional, or dietary drugs you are taking, especially:
Verapamil may change how your body responds to alcohol, causing effects to be more severe and long-lasting.
You should also talk to your doctor about consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking this drug.
Immediate release formulations: Initially 80-120 milligrams (mg), three to four times a day. It can be increased up to 480 mg per day, in divided doses.
Extended-release formulations: Initially 180 mg once daily at bedtime. It can be increased up to
- 540 mg at bedtime.
Immediate release formulations: Initially 80 mg three times a day. It can be increased up to 480 mg per day, given in divided doses, although doses greater than 360 mg offer no additional benefit.
Extended-release formulations: Initially 180-240 mg once daily. It can be increased to 240 mg, twice daily.
Immediate release formulations: Initially 80 mg three times daily. Higher doses have also been used.
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately.
You can get in touch with a poison control center at (800) 222-1222.
If you miss a dose of verapamil, take it as soon as you remember.
However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on your regular schedule.
Do not "double up" to make up for a missed one.
A: Grapefruit, grapefruit juice and certain types of oranges can inhibit the metabolism (breakdown) of certain medications, such as verapamil. When the metabolism is inhibited this can cause higher levels of the medication in the body and potentially dangerous side effects. You may want to discuss the use of grapefruit with your doctor while being treated with verapamil. For additional information regarding verapamil, you may want to visit our website. //www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/verapamil Beth Isaac, PharmD
A: Weight gain is not a typical side effect of verapamil. Patients on verapamil should contact their health care provider right away for any rapid weight gain or swelling of the hands, feet, or ankles. Consult your health care provider for any unusual or bothersome weight gain. You may also find helpful information at //www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/verapamil Sarah McKenney Lewis, PharmD
A: Some of the more common side effects of verapamil are constipation, dizziness, nausea, headache, hypotension, edema, skin rash/itching and fatigue. This list is not complete and others may occur. If you think you are having problems or complications from your medication, be sure to notify your doctor. Megan Uehara, PharmD
A: Calan (verapamil HCL) (//www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/verapamil) is a fast acting calcium channel blocker that works by making the heart
A: Verapamil is in a drug class called calcium channel blockers. Verapamil is used to lower high blood pressure. Verapamil is also used to manage angina. In addition, the immediate release version of verapamil is used alone or combined with other medications to prevent or treat conditions that cause abnormal heartbeats. Verapamil works by relaxing blood vessels. This allows the heart to not have to pump as hard. Verapamil also allows for a greater supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Verapamil controls heart rate by slowing electrical activity in the heart. According to the prescribing information for verapamil, impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED) may be a side effect of the medication. There are many factors that can lead to erectile dysfunction. Some of the health conditions that may lead to ED include: high blood pressure, diabetes, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, nerve damage or disease, and heart disease. Lifestyle choices may also possibly contribute to ED. These may include smoking, excessive alcohol use, being overweight, and lack of exercise. It is important to speak with your health care provider in regards to the symptoms you are experiencing. When your doctor prescribes a new medication, be sure to discuss all your prescription and over-the-counter drugs, including dietary supplements, vitamins, botanicals, minerals, and herbals, as well as the foods you eat. Always keep a current list of the drugs and supplements you take and review it with your health care providers and your pharmacist. If possible, use one pharmacy for all your prescription medications and over-the-counter products. This allows your pharmacist to keep a complete record of all your prescription drugs and to advise you about drug interactions and side effects. Tell your health care provider about any negative side effects from prescription drugs. You can also report them to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by visiting www.fda.gov/medwatch or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088. For more specific information, consult with your doctor for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Kristen Dore, PharmD

A: Many medications interact with grapefruit and hence its consumption is discouraged when taking medications. Studies suggest that grapefruit's effects on verapamil is contradictory and unpredictable. Patient's liver function and kidney function also affects this interaction. Therefore, to be completely safe, it is best to avoid grapefruit juice completely.
A: Verapamil HCl ER (brand names Calan, Verelan) belongs to the group of medications known as calcium channel blockers. Verapamil works to keep blood vessels open, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through the body. Verapamil ER is an extended-release form of verapamil that is used to treat high blood pressure. The prescribing information does not specifically list enlarged aorta as a possible long-term side effect of verapamil use. The aorta is the large blood vessel that comes out of the heart to deliver blood to the body. The aorta can become enlarged at any point over its 2- to 3-foot length. Enlargement of the aorta is generally caused by conditions that change the properties of the blood vessel wall. The most common causes are cigarette smoking, high blood pressure (or hypertension), and high cholesterol levels. Genetics (meaning your family history) may also play a role. Controlling blood pressure and obtaining appropriate evaluations and diagnostic tests by your healthcare provider is the best way to prevent the aorta from getting larger over time. Michelle McDermott, PharmD
A: Verapamil is in a drug class called calcium channel blockers. Verapamil SR is used to treat high blood pressure. Verapamil works by relaxing blood vessels. A search of the prescribing information and medical literature did not identify any significant long-term risks or effects with verapamil that would outweigh its benefits in treating high blood pressure. However, this does not necessarily mean that there are no long-term risks associated with verapamil use. The most appropriate treatment for high blood pressure often depends on many patient-specific characteristics. Derek Dore, PharmD
A: Tramadol is in a drug class called opiate agonists. Tramadol is used for the management of moderate to moderately severe pain. Tramadol works by altering pain sensation in the body. The most common side effects with tramadol are: dizziness/vertigo; nausea; constipation; headache; sleepiness; vomiting; itching; central nervous system stimulation (i.e., nervousness, anxiety, agitation, continuous muscle contraction, euphoria, emotional instability, and hallucinations); lack or loss of strength and energy; sweating; upset stomach; dry mouth and diarrhea. According to tramadol prescribing information, tramadol may impair the mental or physical abilities required to perform potentially hazardous tasks, like driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery. Caution should be used accordingly. Verapamil is in a drug class called calcium channel blockers. Verapamil is used to lower high blood pressure. Verapamil is also used to manage angina (chest pain). In addition, the immediate release version of verapamil is used alone or combined with other medications to prevent or treat conditions that cause abnormal heartbeats. Verapamil works by relaxing blood vessels. This allows the heart to not have to pump as hard. Verapamil also allows for a greater supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Verapamil controls heart rate by slowing electrical activity in the heart. The most common side effects with verapamil are: constipation; dizziness; nausea; low blood pressure; headache; swelling of tissues due to accumulation of fluid; congestive heart failure/fluid in the lungs; fatigue; difficulty breathing; slow heart beat; and impairment of electrical impulses in the heart. Other side effects with verapamil include confusion; balance disorders; shakiness; sleepiness; and blurred vision. Prescribing information for verapamil does not carry the same warning as tramadol about impairment of mental or physical abilities required to perform potentially hazardous tasks. However, people who experience certain side effects with verapamil (e.g., dizziness, confusion; balance disorders; shakiness; sleepiness; and blurred vision) may have an impaired ability to drive a motor vehicle or operate machinery.

When it comes to conversation, Aaron Lewis is a man of few words. Instead, he chooses to let his songs do the talking.
Rising to fame as the frontman for rock band Staind, the singer-songwriter released his debut country EP, Town Line, in 2011. The project garnered Lewis the No. 1 spot on Billboard's top country albums chart, while his first single, "Country Boy," was certified gold and received ACM and CMT Music Awards nominations.
Asked what those nominations mean to him, Lewis slyly grins and replies, "That maybe, just maybe, I've got a chance."
It's a pretty good chance.
"Country Boy" included guest appearances from George Jones and Charlie Daniels — two country endorsements not to be taken lightly.
And now Lewis is back with brand new music, releasing his first full country album, The Road, on Tuesday (Nov. 13) on Blaster Records through Warner Music Nashville.
After co-producing Town Line with James Stroud, Lewis again teamed up with the Nashville producer on The Road. Stroud has previously worked with the likes of Tim McGraw, Toby Keith and Willie Nelson, to name a few.
Lewis quickly knew he, too, wanted to work with the Nashville legend.
"In the beginning, when I decided I wanted to do a country record, we kind of compiled a list of producers to talk to, and James was the first and last producer I talked to," he explains. "As soon as I talked to him, I didn't even bother calling anybody else. And obviously, it was meant to be because we work very well together."
In support of The Road, Lewis has kicked off a solo acoustic tour which includes dates through March 2013.
The album features 10 new songs, including the track, "Granddaddy's Gun," which holds the distinction of being the first song Lewis has ever recorded that he didn't actually write. Written by Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and Bobby Pinson, Lewis says he recorded it because "I could relate to every single word of the song."
Lewis' honesty in his music is quite obvious. However, he admits he doesn't always know how songs will turn out when he sits down to write.
"I don't ever know until it starts coming out," he says. "Writing songs are like car crashes."
His latest single, "Forever," is a prime example of his ability to capture his emotions as he sings about life on the road, away from those he loves most.
The music video for the track premiered during CMT's Big New Music Weekend, and Lewis says it "basically just really accentuates the song. It's pretty true to the lyrical content of the song — just helps paint the picture of the loneliness and doubt that can set in when you're out on the road for as long of periods of time as I am."
Other standout tracks on The Road include his poignant "Lessons Learned" about taking time to appreciate life's simple pleasures, along with "Endless Summer" as he sheds his tough persona and listeners get a glimpse at Lewis, the father.
During a previous interview with CMT.com, Lewis said his childhood had a country music soundtrack to it. When asked if he hopes to pass that same upbringing on to his three young daughters, the singer-songwriter admits, "I think I kind of already have."
He further explains, "My daughters will sing along to every word of Jamey Johnson's 'The Dollar' and any song off the record. They sing them all, along with Miranda Lambert. They love the Pistol Annies and Jason Aldean, Zac Brown Band. It's just kind of cool that they've graduated from teeny bopper stuff to some real music."
His patriotism is put on display with the hard-hitting "Red, White & Blue," but Lewis does more than just talk the talk as he opens up about performing during USO tours.
"It means everything to me," he reveals. "I feel like our military is unappreciated by most. And the saying that keeps coming into my head is 'freedom isn't free.' None of the entitlements that people in this country think that they're entitled to is free. Somebody's paying for it. I know soldiers deserve to feel appreciated for the sacrifices and commitment that they've made to this country. It's the least I could do."

Legend of the Lily of the Valley
Legend claims that as the Virgin Mary cried at the crucifixion of Jesus, her tears fell softly and turned into a beautiful flower, the lily of the valley. Even today many people call these delicate, bell-shaped flowers Mary's tears. Lily of the Valley is rich with the fragrance of springtime and new beginnings. These flowers also symbolize the sweetness, purity and rejuvenating qualities of Jesus Christ.

Opossum removal Laguna Niguel calls normally come in when opossums find their way into the attic. Open vents or doors are found by wandering animals looking for shelter. When opossums find these openings they can make your Laguna Niguel home into their home.
The first step in opossum control is sealing up the structures and removing the food sources. Sealing up the structure involves closing off vents, poorly closing access doors or even holes in siding or other structural openings. Food sources such as rotten fruit from trees, dog food, cat food or almost any edible source needs to be removed. Opossums eat almost anything from rotten food, dead animals to pet food.
Opossums are normally trapped in live animal traps. Bait is placed into the trap to entice the animal in. When to opossum enters the trap far enough it will step onto the trap door release. The door it entered through will close and it is only able to be opened from the outside.
Rodent Guys licensed trappers will be dispatched out to take care of all trapped animals. At no point should a customer feel the need to go near the trap. Your Laguna Niguel opossum trapping job is in good hands with our experienced trappers.
Our trappers follow the California Depart of Fish and Game trapping laws. The California trapping laws do not allow for animals to be relocated. All trapped animals must be released onsite or euthanized. Any company telling you different is either not licensed (you need a special license, not a pest control license to trap animals) or is lying to you. Either way if they are telling you anything different do not trust them.
When the animals enter the structure they use the space as a nesting area as well as a bathroom. If the pest damage is heavy, Rodent Guys owns equipment to remove and replace attic insulation. This process involves us vacuuming the feces, ruined insulation and spraying the area with sanitizer. Once cleaned, new insulation is blown into the attic making it well insulated and clean.
We also do Laguna Niguel raccoon removal, skunk removal and squirrel control. Please call or email at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about wildlife trapping and raccoon trapping.

JavaScript Variables, Types, Operators, and Expressions - 05
Most programming languages have a notion of variables, data types, and syntax rules including statements, expressions, operators, keywords, and operands. In this video, Bob provides a quick overview of the most important topics related to basic syntax rules. He explains how JavaScript variables and types are different than those in other programming languages, explaining the purpose of "undefined." Finally, he shows how to use escape sequences in string literals.

The Discussion
Bob, IMHO you should had to stand back right now and start to declare and use separate javascript files. Much more everyday practice as one knows. Not overcomplicated at this point in the series I think.
@PeterNL: Hang in there ... it's coming soon ...
Just a quick remark, typeof IS a keyword.
Best regards.
BTW: in JS "values" got types not the variables - so if you put
var myVar = "Hello";
it's not myVar that will have any type - indeed you can just go on and give another value of a different type to the same variable without getting any complaints:
var myVar = "Hello"; myVar = 5;
That is both one of the strenghts (as it gives you lot's of power - like duck-typing) but also one of the biggest weaknesses (as there is no compiler telling you about your type-errors) of dynamic languagues.
@CbrAInK: Great distinction! Thank you ... I'm sorry if I confused this with my explanation.
@Ivan Yosifov: Thank you!
When you add myValue + myOtherValue you say 3.26 but it shows 6.26. Around 12:06 in the movie.
@Anyonmous: My mouth may have been talking faster than my brain was thinking. Sorry for the confusion!
Hi Bob..
I am first time try Java Script.i am learning very fast. i am so much thankful to you for all this .you are simply great...
Hi Bob,
you are explaining great, enjoying video tut. can i found something interesting video tutorials like these all, for BOM (Browser Object Module) and DOM (Document Object Model) also.
Do u have these videos elsewhere? Ch9 is super slow for me. Sometimes takes me 30 mins to load the stream on a 500k/ba sec internet connection, and up to 45 min to download the low quality
@varun: Cool! Thanks for the note.
@DharmendraSehgal: I'm not sure what you're asking. But if you consider the BOM things like window and console, which technically are not part of the "document" per se, then I'm munging these two ideas together, as I think most authors do. Technically, they probably need to be separated out, but hopefully that doesn't trip too many people up.
@dave: Not yet, but I hope to add them to my site LearnVisualStudio.NET and stream from a bunch of different sources (Vimeo, YouTube, AmazonS3).
Great video on discussing variables and data types. Thank you!
Thank you Bob for these great tutorials, but I hope you also upload ASP.NET tuts on Channel 9 for free :)
I was wondering when we do something like this.. what happens?
var someValue;
var myValue = "Hello";
someValue = "\"World\"";
someValue = myValue - someValue;
@Mohsin: Sorry to be coy here ... but ... this is a good chance for you to experiment! Tell me ... what happens?
Hi Bob, Beginner's Q: Why is it that we don't need an event to execute "alert" in your examples here in 05? In the Hello world an onload event is specified as the trigger for the "alert function" to execute, but here in 05 the alert runs without that call being used(?)
Great series!
@Lars: Could you help me out by letting me know exactly where in the video you are referencing? A time marker like @5:15 (for example) would help refresh my memory so I could give you a better answer. Thanks!
Hi Bob, e.g. @2:50 in lesson 05 you write a script that results in an alert box being displayed (with the value "Jaworski") when it is tested in I.E. And that same script has not been called by an event (like "onload" or the user clicking a button)...it seems too me like the script runs once the page has been loaded, without the onload event being specified as necessary precursor for this to happen(?)
In contrast in lesson 02 @13:27 you did use the onload event (specified in the body tag), and my Q is: Why is that not necessary in the example in 05?
All the best,
Lars :-)
Can I have a question?
Why is this statement correct? I thought "var" is a keyword, and can't be used to name variable
if (var == 4) { // Do something }
(you might feel it familiar, because I got it from one of your recommended books ^^)
@Minowar: Hi, I did this ... http://jsfiddle.net/Uvauc/ ... feel free to play around with it, then Save your own copy and show me the REST of that little code example. You shouldn't be able to do that little var trick ... at least, not with a modern web browser. I would like to see that code at work, but I need to see what "var" is defined as ... how can it be created in the first place? (In other words, I don't think that is a valid code example anymore.) I've heard that once upon a time you can define false to another value, which can be confusing. I've tried to duplicate that, but can't get it to work myself. I'm guessing this is a similar case. Let me know ... I'm curious to see what you come up with.
@Lars: I'm not sure quite how this is supposed to work ... I can merely demo it in a real case:
Follow the instructions ... see what happens when you remove the <body> tag from the HTML section. Hint: you'll see the <script> part runs on load. Weird. And I'm not sure how to explain it, but that's the behavior.
Ok, many thanks for your answer :-)
@BobTabor: Actually the statement didn't come from any code. It's an exercise from the book, and the question is the statement is valid or not. I looked at the key answer and it said the statement is valid.
@Minowar: Ok, you got me then. I tried to use 'var' as a variable, but couldn't get it to work. Time to ask the author of the book ... then PLEASE let me know what he says. Thanks and sorry I can't shed light on it. According to everything I've seen, var is a keyword and can't be used as a variable name. But what do I know?
Hello Bob,
I have seen some of your videos and i'm really impressed. I need a big favour from you. I need a javascript that will allow me display an XML file on my web page. We have an automation system that plays music. The "Title name" and "artist name" is contained in this XML file. what i want is for this information to be displayed on another system which contains my web page in the form of "Now playing". The info should also change each time a new track is played from the automation system i.e it should update with the current music/track playing with respect to the XML file info. The two systems are on the same Internet system. How do i go about this?
hi bob i'm really new to this, but i am learning fast with your video tutorial. But i have some question of which i already exhausted every possible article on the net that i can find, unfortunately i didn't. Hopefully you guys can help me out.
in my own project where i tried to follow this video for the Additional Operator where I used text boxes to add all the value into another text box. for some reason it didn't add it, instead it concatenate the value. it doesn't have any problems with subtractions and multiplications only in additions. Below are the codes I've written for .js file
function sumValue() { var sumValue = document.getElementById('number1').value; var sumval = document.getElementById('number2').value; var totaVal = (sumval + sumValue); document.getElementById('number3').value = totaVal; }
here's my code for my HTML5 (which i also downloaded from you fundamental series.)
<form method="post"> <input type="number" id="number1"/> <input type="number" id="number2"/> <input type="button" value="Sum" onclick="sumValue()"/> <br /> <input type="text" placeholder="Total" id="number3"/> </form>
thanks in advance.
@kennethballon: The problem is that, by default in JavaScript, it treats all input as strings. The + operator serves two purposes ... it will ADD numbers and CONCATENATE strings. Since you didn't perform any data conversion from string to number, you're getting the concatenate behavior. Look for examples of the Javacript built-in function:
... you'll need to use that first before adding numbers.
And, before you treat them like numbers, you'll need to check to make sure those input strings CAN BE CONVERTED TO NUMBERS. Use:
(NaN => Not a Number)
Hope that helps!
@ Bob hahaha yah i remember the int.parse() in your video tutorial for C# Series,it just the other way around for JavaScript. Sometimes its hard to think straight when you're tired.... Anyways, it works and thank you so much for that.. i really love the way you explain things.
I've been racking my so called brain trying to figure-out the solution for the problem you initially posed. I read a few articles regarding the parseInt() built-in function and already knew about isNaN(), but no luck.
Love to see your solution?
Thank you,
@Mario Cisneros: Um ... it's been over a year since I recorded this video. I honestly can't remember what problem I challenged you with. I'm very sorry ... but could you point me to the time marker in the video (like @12:30 for example) where I issued the challenge? I'll take a swing at it.
Is this the link to the current JavaScript Language Specification. It seems to be. Just wanted to confirm.
@dsilvadarius: Yes, that looks good. I think it's also known as ECMAScript 5. There's also ECMAScript 6 on the horizon. Here's a good link that will provide a list of features in ECMAScript 5 and the browsers that support each feature:
There's also a link to ECMAScript 6 and it's compatibility as well (see top of page). Good luck!
When browsing sample JavaScript code on the how do i know which version I'm reading.Is there an easy way to know that given that I've completed this series.
I forgot to say thanks earlier so thanks.
To be honest i thought this was a stupid question even thought of deleting it till I read the answer you gave. Thanks a lot.
There are other JavaScript libraries out there other than jquery right you don't even mention another JavaScript library is there a particular reason for that or is it just a personal preference or Is it that jquery is that good.
@dsilvadarius: There are a lot of good libraries, however a few things. (1) A few years ago Microsoft threw their full support behind jQuery, integrated syntax highlighting for jQuery into Visual Studio and more, (2) of the libraries out there that do similar things, I *think* jQuery is the most popular, and (3) we just don't have the time or money (budget) to create a comprehensive overview of all possibilities. There are many libraries -- it seems like being the founder of a library is the new badge of honor for software developers -- and I personally want to focus on those that are already gaining traction. I just don't have the time to invest in ones that no one will be interested in a few years from now. Furthermore, jQuery is easy to learn and pretty darn fun, so it's a fit for this type of series. Great questions, btw ... they challenge me and force me to really think about / justify the decisions we made. Oh yeah, the fourth and best reason is: (4) Microsoft asked me to do it.
alert(typeof myValue);
by it self also returns undefined if run.
@BobTabor: Jquery Mobile is built on top of the Jquery framework Right? And its built on the notion of mobile first but can be use for all screen sizes right so I won't be fool to get a working knowledge of Jquery then dive directly into Jquery Mobile right? I wanted help with another thing t think its out side the scope of this series so I wont mind if you don't answer the question is how does one charge for a web site? I've really struggled with this one. How do you do it you mind sharing?
@dsilvadarius: Yes, I believe you're right on all accounts. jQuery Mobile is a UI framework that defines user interface controls you can use (as well as animations, effects, etc.). There's a "desktop" equivalent called jQuery UI (http://www.jqueryui.com). If you're familiar with jQuery's syntax and such, I think it will be easy to roll your skills over into that framework.
Regarding your second question about charging for websites, that's a toughie. That's not what I do ... I started trying to do that way back in 1996 and was a little ahead of the curve. Companies were asking "how do we get an email address?" and I was trying to sell dynamic database driven websites for eCommerce, etc. I have a friend who runs http://www.learnwebdevelopment.com ... if you're serious about getting into web development for small to mid-sized companies, you might have a look there - the business side is his forte.
If I work for a larger enterprise, it's usually as part of a team of developers, designers and ops, and usually I am hired on a contract basis through a consulting company or a contractor company. They pay by the hour. So, there are a lot of possible arrangements. If you already have potential clients, perhaps you can approach them and express your desire to partner with them. They may share with you other bids they've gotten or tell you how much they would be willing to spend.
Well why do the examples work for you?
None of the examples work as i see them in the videos. if i execute them no alert is executed :o
i tested with ie chrome and firefox. But none of them is working :/
Hmm do i need a special configuration for this?
@desmater: That's a good question ... I don't know. I suspect it could be one of several things.
1. Which operating system are you using? If you're using a SERVER operating system, there may be a permissions issue preventing you from saving HTML files to your desktop and executing them in Internet Explorer (or any web browser). If you work at a large company, the computers may have been configured for you in such a way as to prevent potentially harmful activities. Unfortunately, as a developer, you need to understand and undertake *potentially* harmful activities. For these videos I think I used Windows 7 Pro and I was the administrator of that system, so there were no permissions problems for me. Perhaps instead of saving to the desktop like I do in this video, try saving in your Documents directory. Also, make sure you watch the previous videos where I allow active content.
Another option: upload to a free / cheap web server. HTML files loaded locally have more permissions and are therefore deemed potentially more harmful than HTML files loaded from the internet. This is the concept of "zones" in Internet Explorer.
2. If you typed in the code examples yourself, you may have missed something small in your code. Have you tried downloading the code and executing what I wrote just to make sure it works? I assure you ... the code in those files is EXACTLY what I typed in while recording those videos.
Did these help? Still not able to get it working? Please offer a few more details about your operating system, browser version, etc. and I'll try to help.
Hi Sir BOB! I completely watched your html5 and css3 series and now downloading this whole series. I just want to say thankyou for your great efforts. I have relly become your very big fan. :)
@UmerNamdar: Ah, cool. Thanks for your support.
Hi Bob,
Very good explanation and enjoyed your video tutorial. You Rocks...
Thanks a lot..
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the awesome tutorials. I just had a small doubt. We are not calling script anywhere in the body of html but even then alert message is getting displayed. Can u please explain it.
var myValue = "bob";
and var myValue = 3.14
came up with undefined not number nor string ?
This one was really cool! I love watching your videos Bob! I made it to 6th video now.
I just want to say that I love your videos so much. I've watched other courses by you as well and you always take the time to really explain the why of things. Thank you so much!
Hello Bob, love your videos. I may be a little late on comments, I noticed your last comment was August 2013. Just a heads up on the "Escaping Strings" section in chapter 05.
You showed us how to add the apostrophe in the word "I'm" by using the "escape" function. In reality, (and most people miss this), you have to use the escape key because you are not typing an apostrophe, you are actually using a single quote mark. If you use the actual apostrophe key (above the "Caps Lock" button on your keyboard) then you don't need the escape key.
Just my 2 cents worth.

New warden accepts challenges in Lancaster County prison
Warden talks about jail's issues
The Lancaster County Prison is old and it's overcrowded. An increase in suicides at the jail is now raising questions over whether there's adequate inmate supervision.
These challenges are well-known to the prison's new warden, Dennis Molyneaux, who started his new job on Monday.
"Not everybody can do the job, first of all as a correction officer," Molyneaux said.
Being a corrections officer is all Molyneaux has known for 37 years of his professional life.
"I always did through the years, I always did want to be the No. 1 person and I always did want to take on additional responsibilities," Molyneaux said.
Coming from Montgomery County, Molyneaux will have a lot of responsibilities to tackle while taking over an overcrowded prison that opened in 1851.
"As far as building your way out of overcrowding, that's not going to happen," he said.
To address the issues, Molyneaux said he will be talking with county judges, reviewing sentencing and holding procedures to possibly deal with overcrowding.
He also plans to be visible to the inmates.
"It's important that I be seen. I wanted to make that statement from the very beginning when I attended line up today," Molyneaux said.
Since 2003 there have reportedly been more half-a-dozen suicides within Lancaster County's prison walls and three of those cases have resulted in federal lawsuits. Settlements in those lawsuits so far have cost Lancaster County and taxpayers more than $800,000.
To prevent future suicides behind the jail's walls, Molyneaux said he needs to look back before moving forward.
"I think I need to review exactly what we're doing now, what caused the problems in the past," he said. "I don't know if it's a good quality or not. I am impatient and I seem calm. I know I do have a calm demeanor, but i am impatient and i like to get things moving."
Molyneaux takes over for former warden Vince Guarini, who retired in April after 31 years in the position.

Skinwalkers are a type of werewolf created thousands of years ago among the peoples of ancient Siberia. These peoples hunted with wolves, wore their skins and some came to believe they were wolves themselves. Then came a sorcerer from the World of Shadows who had found his way to the World of Men and became ruler over a tribe of primitive humans. The sorcerer sought out witches and shamans to teach his secrets to in order to expand his influence and increase his following. He would also pass on his curse as he was a werewolf and those he trusted most were forced to become members of his pack. Teaching them how to shapeshift into wolves and other creatures, the first Skinwalkers were powerful entities and most became corrupted by their evil desires. Those desires ultimately led them to kill the sorcerer who had given them his knowledge because he used that knowledge to control them and they did not want to serve anyone but themselves.
These early Skinwalkers sought to free themselves from their curse as the particular breed of werewolf they had been made part of was an uncontrollable beast. They would commit horrific atrocities leading to human hunters pursuing and destroying them until they found a way to control their violent side. Skinwalkers would achieve this by altering their curse so that they became transformed into wolves rather than werewolves and they would live as wolves being only a threat to farm animals. They passed this unique variation of their curse on to their offspring teaching them how to transform into other creatures until the old ways became forgotten. Should they encounter a werewolf, they are capable of assuming a form similar to werewolves by biting and otherwise tasting the werewolves flesh or blood. While in this form, they tend to be a bit awkward until their rage increases enough that the beast takes control to unleash its fury upon an adversary.
Spirit of the Wolf
Like werewolves, Skinwalkers are affected by the Moon and lunar cycles. They are forced to transform during a full moon but have learned to prevent this by wearing enchanted silver objects. There are side effects to doing this as they are far more prone to violence and their sexual appetites become insatiable. They do not have to remove their clothes to bring about this change because the transition is one of flesh to energy and back to flesh again. However, they cannot transform their clothing so they will be nude when they restore themselves to their human form. They can control this ability to become wolves with effort and change at any time but can maintain this form only briefly. The exertion leaves them exhausted and even on the brink of death which often leads to autopsies or burials which they survive. Only if they are cremated will this breed of werewolf be slain if mistaken for dead but a silver bullet or object to the heart will kill them just the same.
When they found their way back into the Worlds of Shadow, they would spread across all the worlds but become most numerous on Vaalbara. Unlike others, Skinwalkers tend to live to themselves or in small groups choosing assimilation and concealment as a survival trait. Most intermarry with people who may never learn of their secret. Most seek out partners they learn they can trust to keep their curse silent and repay them with fidelity and always being receptive to their partners' needs. They are happiest to live in isolation in rural areas as Skinwalkers do not mix well with others and have difficulty living among great throngs of people. Skinwalkers might be said to have anxiety issues which is a result of the social structure they have in their lives from early childhood. Almost all Skinwalkers are born with their curse. The means to transform others into Skinwalkers still exist as Skinwalkers possess an inherited genetic memory if they can only unlock it with trigger mechanisms unknown to them.

Swollen and tender breasts are often a sign of high levels of estrogen, which is common in the perimenopausal period. It's also common when you're pregnant and just before your period (which is why your breasts are often tender then). One study found about a third of women experienced tender breasts in early perimenopause. The good news is that this is often the first menopausal symptom to disappear as you get closer to the menopause itself, which, as you may know, is 12 months from the date of your last period.
Because high levels of estrogen are often behind the breast swelling, you're right to think that progesterone—which can help balance your hormonal levels and prevent estrogen from overstimulating breast tissue—might be a possible treatment. There are numerous options available, including natural progesterone cream that can be applied to the skin or vaginally (available over the counter or by prescription), oral progesterone, and progesterone-only birth control pills (or combination birth control pills).
One study of 40 premenopausal women found their premenstrual breast pain significantly improved when they used 4 grams of a vaginal cream containing 2.5 percent natural progesterone from the 19th to the 25th day of their cycle for six months, compared to women using a placebo cream. Although oral progesterone might initially increase breast tenderness, that quickly disappears. Generally, if you're still menstruating your health care professional will likely prescribe progesterone just during part of your cycle, usually for about six months.
You can also talk to your health care professional about combination estrogen/progesterone therapy. There's evidence that it may relieve breast tenderness in women who have breast tenderness prior to starting hormone therapy; paradoxically, however, it may increase breast tenderness in women who didn't have it to begin with. However, if you have a family history of breast cancer or other known risk factors for breast cancer, your health care professional may not prescribe hormone replacement therapy.
If you don't want to use hormone therapy, you might consider evening primrose oil. This oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce the inflammation associated with breast swelling and tenderness. Just follow directions on the bottle. Other supplements that may help are vitamin E, 400 IU a day, and a good quality vitamin B supplement.

Consensus Report
Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects (2007)Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
There has been rapid growth in the construction of wind-powered electricity generating facilities over the past 25 years in the United States. Wind-energy facilities emit no atmospheric pollutants and are driven by a renewable source, addressing multiple environmental concerns such as air quality and climate change. But the expansion of such facilities can carry adverse environmental impacts. As wind energy development continues to expand, federal, state and local agencies should adopt a coordinated approach to evaluating the planning, regulation, and location of wind-energy projects. This National Research Council report provides a framework that can help in evaluating tradeoffs between the benefits of new wind-energy projects and risks of adverse environmental impacts before projects begin.
Key Messages
- A better analysis of the cumulative effects of various anthropogenic energy sources, including wind turbines, on bird and bat fatalities is needed, especially given projections of substantial increases in the numbers of wind turbines in coming decades.
- Although methods for assessing aesthetic impacts need to be adapted to the particular characteristics of wind-energy projects, such as their visibility, the basic principles of systematically understanding the relationship of a project to surrounding scenic resources apply and can be used to inform siting and regulatory decisions.
- At the current level of wind-energy development the committee sees no evidence that fatalities caused by wind turbines result in measurable demographic changes to bird populations in the United States, with the possible exception of raptor fatalities in the Altamont Pass area, although data are lacking for a substantial portion of the operating facilities.
- Because wind energy is new to many state and local governments, the quality of processes for permitting wind-energy developments is uneven in many respects.
- Choosing the level of regulatory authority for reviewing wind-energy proposals carries corresponding implications for how the following issues are addressed: (1) cumulative effects of wind-energy development;(2) balancing negative and positive environmental and socioeconomic impacts of wind energy; and (3) incorporating public opinions into the review process.
- Electricity generated from different sources is largely fungible. Depending on factors such as price, availability, predictability, regulatory and incentive regimes, and local considerations, one source might be preferentially used over others.
- Electricity generated in the MAH including wind energy is used in a regional grid in the larger mid-Atlantic region. Electricity generated from wind energy in the MAH has the potential to displace pollutant emissions, discharges, wastes, and other adverse environmental effects of other sources of electricity generation in the grid. That potential is estimated to be less than 4.5%, and the degree to which its beneficial effects would be realized in the MAH is uncertain.
- If the future were to bring more aggressive renewable-energy-development policies, potential increased energy conservation, and improved technology of wind-energy generation and transmission of electricity, the contribution of wind energy to total electricity production would be greater.
- Not enough information is available to form a reliable judgment on whether the number of bats being killed will have overall effects on populations, but given a general region-wide decline in the populations of several species of bats in the eastern United States, the possibility of population effects, especially with increased numbers of turbines, is significant.
- There are systematic and well-established methods for assessing and evaluating human impacts; they allow better informed and more-enlightened decision making.
- There is insufficient information available at present to form a reliable judgment on the likely effect of all the proposed or planned wind energy installations in the mid-Atlantic region on bird and bat populations.
- There is little anticipatory planning for wind-energy projects, and even if it occurred, it is not clear whether mechanisms exist that could incorporate such planning in regulatory decisions.
- Using an evaluation guide to organize regulatory review processes can help to achieve comprehensive and consistent regulation coordinated across jurisdictional levels and across types of effects.
- Using the future projections of installed U.S. energy capacity by the DOE, the committee estimates that wind-energy development probably will contribute to offsets of approximately 4.5% in U.S. emissions of CO2 from electricity generation by other electricity-generation sources by the year 2020. In 2005, electricity generation produced 39% of all CO2 emissions in the United States.
- Well-specified, formal procedures for regulatory review enhance predictability, consistency, and accountability for all parties to wind-energy development.
- Wind energy will contribute proportionately less to electricity generation in the mid-Atlantic region than in the United States as a whole, because a smaller portion of the region has high-quality wind resources than the portion of high-quality wind resources in the United States as a whole.
- The environmental benefits of wind-energy development, mainly reductions in atmospheric pollutants, are enjoyed at wide spatial scales, while the environmental costs, mainly aesthetic impacts and ecological impacts, such as increased mortality of birds and bats, occur at much smaller spatial scales. There are similar, if less dramatic, disparities in the scales of realized economic and other societal benefits and costs. The disparities in scale, although not unique to wind-energy development, complicate the evaluation of tradeoffs.

In City of Kingman v. Lubbers, 31 Kan.App.2d 426, 428–29, 65 P.3d 1075, rev. denied 276 Kan. 967 (2003), this court ruled that a driver's consent to a preliminary breath test was not rendered invalid when the officer truthfully and accurately informed the driver of the legal consequences of refusing to consent.Summary of this case from State v. Chapman
65 P.3d 1075 (Kan.App. 2003) 31 Kan.App.2d 426 CITY OF KINGMAN, Appellee, v. Preston A. LUBBERS, Appellant. No. 88,832. Court of Appeals of Kansas April 4, 2003.
Review Denied June 26, 2003.
Page 1076
Syllabus by the Court
1. K.S.A. 8-1012 is construed and applied.
2. Where the facts are undisputed, a motion to suppress presents a question of law, over which our review is unlimited.
3. In obtaining consent to a request under K.S.A. 8-1012, police cannot use deceit, but they are entitled to make truthful, accurate statements as to the consequence of a refusal.
4. The purpose of K.S.A. 8-1012 is not to punish past behavior; rather, it attaches a negative consequence to a present choice.
5. Under the facts of this case, we decline to decide whether a preliminary breath test constitutes a search of a person's deep lung air.
6. In this case, defendant knowingly and voluntarily consented to the preliminary breath test; therefore, no Fourth Amendment violation occurred.
Michael S. Holland II and Michael S. Holland, of Holland and Holland, of Russell, for appellant.
Curtis E. Watkins, of Geisert, Wunsch & Watkins, of Kingman, for appellee.
Before ELLIOTT, P.J., LEWIS, J., and STEPHEN D. HILL, District Judge, assigned.
Preston A. Lubbers appeals his conviction for driving while under the influence of alcohol.
We affirm.
Police officer Chrystal Woodson responded to a traffic accident involving two vehicles, one driven by Lubbers. While speaking with Lubbers, Woodman noticed his eyes were bloodshot and there was an odor of alcohol. Lubbers said he had been drinking earlier at a softball game, but did not drink much because he had to drive home.
After administering several field sobriety tests, Woodson asked Lubbers if he would submit to a preliminary breath test by breathing into a hand-held machine. Lubbers agreed and registered a level of .117. He was arrested and transported to the law enforcement center where he registered a blood alcohol level of .13.
Lubbers moved to suppress the preliminary breath test results, claiming that test constituted a search of his deep lung air in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The trial court denied the motion to suppress, and the case was submitted on stipulated facts, preserving Lubbers' right to appeal the ruling on his motion to suppress.
Where, as here, the facts are undisputed, the suppression question is one of law over which we have unlimited review. State v. Jones, 270 Kan. 526, 527, 17 P.3d 359 (2001).
On appeal, Lubbers claims the preliminary breath test is a search and it was unreasonable to subject him to the test without a warrant or voluntary consent. No Kansas case has addressed whether a preliminary breath test constitutes a search. However, we need not decide that question here, for we hold the consent question controls the outcome of this appeal. The interesting question of whether the breath test constitutes a search must await a case where the issue is squarely presented.
K.S.A. 8-1012 provides that a law enforcement officer may request a person operating a vehicle to submit to a preliminary breath test if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe the person has alcohol in his or her body, has committed a traffic infraction, or has been involved in a traffic accident.
In Gross v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 26 Kan.App.2d 847, 849, 994 P.2d 666, rev. deniedinter alia, 269 Kan. 932 (2000), we held the statute is clear and requires, prior to requesting a breath test, probable cause to believe the person, has alcohol in his or her body. Probable cause, we held, is synonymous with the statutory term "reasonable grounds." 26 Kan.App.2d at 849, 994 P.2d 666.
Further, we held the issue is whether a request for a preliminary breath test is reasonable and ruled the statute provides adequate safeguards to insure reasonableness. 26 Kan.App.2d at 849-50, 994 P.2d 666.
In the present case, Lubbers acknowledges Woodson was permitted to request a preliminary breath test, but asks us to clarify whether Gross entitles officers merely to request a breath test or allows an officer to administer the test absent probable cause or a valid consent.
Nothing in the Gross opinion indicates we intended to remove the driver's ability to refuse the preliminary breath test or the requirement that a consent be given knowingly and voluntarily.
Here, Woodson's request was clearly reasonable. She was investigating a traffic accident and noticed Lubbers had bloodshot eyes and detected the odor of alcohol. Under the facts of the present case, therefore, the question is whether Lubbers freely and voluntarily consented to the breath test, the results of which provided probable cause for his arrest.
Woodson testified Lubbers agreed to the test and that she informed him that a refusal to consent would result in a traffic violation. On appeal, Lubbers argues the consent, if given, was not voluntary because the threat of a traffic violation constituted coercion. In this regard, Lubbers' reliance on State v. Brunner, 211 Kan. 596, 507 P.2d 233 (1973), is misplaced. There, the defendant was threatened with suspension of his driver's license when, under the law, suspension never could have been imposed. 211 Kan. at 603, 507 P.2d 233.
Where, as here, consent is obtained after informing a driver of actual legal consequences, the consent, if freely given, is valid. The accurate statement would not involve deceit. Police cannot use deceit, but they are entitled to make truthful, accurate statements. See Village of Little Chute v. Walitalo, 256 Wis.2d 1032, 1038, 650 N.W.2d 891, 894 (Wis.App.2002).
We hold the purpose of K.S.A. 8-1012 is not to punish past behavior; rather, it attaches a negative consequence to a present choice. See State v. Spilde, 536 N.W.2d 639, 641 (Minn.App.1995). Our Supreme Court has ruled our implied consent law is remedial in nature. See State v. Mertz, 258 Kan. 745, 760, 907 P.2d 847 (1995).
In the present case, Woodson correctly advised Lubbers of the consequence of refusing the request to take a preliminary breath test. And the record contains ample evidence that Lubbers freely consented to the procedure. The "threat" of a traffic citation did not render the consent invalid.
For the purpose of this appeal, we may assume, without deciding, the preliminary breath test constitutes a search of a person's deep lung air. But even given that assumption, here Lubbers knowingly and voluntarily consented to the procedure. No Fourth Amendment violation occurred. The trial court did not err in denying Lubbers' motion to suppress.

An off-duty police officer, who was arrested in connection with an incident that left a New York driver badly beaten and a motorcyclist in critical condition, is allegedly shown on a video pounding on the driver's car, a law enforcement official said on Tuesday.
NYPD undercover detective 32-year-old Wojciech Braszczok was off-duty and riding with a pack of bikers when the driver of the SUV ran over one of the bikers after they allegedly swarmed his car. The bikers then beat the driver in front of his two-year-old child. At least one other off-duty undercover officer was riding with the bikers on the day of the assault, according to the official.
Braszczok was arrested on riot and criminal mischief charges on Tuesday. One day earlier, the officer's lawyer said that the detective did not see the attack on Range Rover driver Alexian Lien.
On Tuesday, police arrested 32-year-old Brooklyn resident Clint Caldwell on gang assault charges. Meanwhile, a judge set a bond of $150,000 for another biker charged with assault, Craig Wright. Both Braszczok and Caldwell are expected to be arraigned on Wednesday.

The following happened yesterday arvo….
- book signing – scary, scary stuff…I needed 17 glasses of wine and considered taking up smoking after it…may consider counselling….
- Left convention – and walked by pudgy thighs off – if only - around Melbourne.
Today….last day of convention…
- saw three fire trucks out the front of the hotel as I ate breakky (breakfast) they came loaded with many yummy looking fireman – forgot bacon and eggs for 10 mins as I pressed my nose up against the glass and looked on in appreciation of the male form.
- Watched one woman scoff almost the entire buffet – yes, it is all you can eat but a human body must get to the point of exploding after 27 plates of food…and she was skinny…bitch.
- plan to go walkabout this morning – heading for Chinatown and the Greek precinct then will head to the convention around 10ish – correct – I am not a dedicated convention goer. Organized events naturally want me to rebel.
- Will attend the panel about e-books – I have discovered more Aussies than I thought know about them
- Apres this - plan to go to Melbourne Jail to check out the history. Followed by more wandering Melbourne streets playing tourist
Important note –
Today is the national day of mourning for all those that lost their lives in the Victorian bush fires. No words can express my deepest sorrow at the devastating loss. It's wrong and unfair and life stinks sometimes.
That's it…
….the convention has been an excellent receipt collecting mission. I plan to hand it all in the the Australian Tax office and go – "ha! Tax me will you? I think not."
Have a grouse – since I'm in Melbourne - day
Best wishes

'Mean Girls' Actress Lacey Chabert Gets Married [PHOTO]
Lacey Chabert, who shot to fame on the small screen as Claudia Salinger on 'Party of Five' and who enjoyed a serious star turn as Plastics member (and Regina George ego stroker) Gretchen Wieners in 'Mean Girls,' is a married woman!
Chabert, 31, wed her boyfriend, who we know little to nothing about, this holiday season, sharing the good news about her new status as a wife via Twitter. She pulled off the nuptials in relative secrecy. Good for her for protecting the sanctity of her big day and sharing the good news as she saw fit.
The actress also posted a photo from the reception, hugging her sister and maid of honor Crissy! Aw, how adorbs, right? Newlywed Kaley Cuoco and reality star Ali Fedotowsky were reportedly in attendance.
What a pretty, cloud-like strapless gown Chabert is wearing, as well! She made quite a lovely bride. Now, can we see a snap of the groom, please? And some intel about him, too. Word is his name is Dave Nehdar. So congrats, Lacey and Dave. We hope the union is long and happy.

Getting to Russia
Moscow's Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo airports and St Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport are all served by numerous international flights. All airports are connected with their respective cities by regular and efficient public transport. Besides being the main hub for all domestic trains, including the trans-Siberian ones, Moscow is served by trains from Rīga, Tallinn, Warsaw, Berlin and Budapest, while European train routes into St Petersburg include arrivals from Helsinki, Rīga and Vilnius. Train stations in both Moscow and St Petersburg are well connected to the metro; all Moscow's "vokzals" (train stations) link to a stop on the (brown) circle line. The most convenient way to come to St Petersburg for travellers coming from the Baltic States may be by bus, as they are more frequent than trains. Ferries into St Petersburg from Helsinki and Tallinn arrive at the Vasilyevskiy Island ferry terminal.

First thing every morning, Jamie Hockley checks the palm trees outside the window of his cottage. "If they're doubled over, I say to myself, 'Let's go kite!' "
Sand devils - plumes of sand created when the wind picks up - are another good sign for Hockley, who lives on Galu Beach, a two-kilometre stretch of soft white sand that's part of Diani Beach on the Indian Ocean, some 25 kilometres south of the coastal city of Mombasa.
Hockley does kitesurfing, an extreme wind and water sport that's rapidly gaining popularity from the Pacific and Indian oceans to the St. Lawrence River. He uses a huge inflatable kite and straps his feet into a small board similar to a water-skiing wakeboard. The kite propels him over the waves and sometimes as high as 10 metres up into the air.
"The beauty of the sport is the freedom. It's complete escape," says Hockley, who's 28.
Most kitesurfers are daredevils. Many are also world travellers. Since kitesurfing (it's also known as kiteboarding) took off in the late 1990s, kitesurfing "villages" have sprung up around the world - in locations as far-flung as Squamish, B.C.; Hatteras Island, N.C.; and Kom Phangan, Thailand. Even non-daredevils have begun trying out the sport.
Hockley, who teaches kitesurfing, is based at The Kenyaway, a kitesurfing village on Galu Beach. Though he has kitesurfed in Egypt, Spain, Brazil and Australia, for him, nothing beats home.
At low tide, the beach extends to 150 metres, the water is warm (during Kenyan winter, the average water temperature is 25C to 27C) and the winds generally blow in toward shore, which is handy if you take a spill and don't want to drift out to sea.
In North America, a beach as big and beautiful as Diani would be wall-to-wall beach towels and umbrellas. But Diani is relatively empty. That may be, says Boris Polo, owner of H20 Extreme, the kitesurfing school where Hockley works, because many Kenyans don't know how to swim. "They use the water for work, for example, for fishing. We get very few Kenyan customers," he said.
Joey Kennaway and her daughter, Linzi, own The Kenyaway, where H2O Extreme has a base. Born in Ireland, Joey Kennaway has lived in Kenya since she was 3. The cozy rambling Kenyaway resort started as a shack built by Joey's husband, Tony. As the shack grew, the couple began renting out cottages on their property to holiday tenants. Linzi, who got hooked on kitesurfing after Polo gave her lessons, came up with the idea of opening a kitesurfing village. Though the senior Kennaways have not tried kitesurfing, they do enjoy watching others doing it. "One night, it was a full moon and there were seven kiters out," said Joey Kennaway.
People have been experimenting with using kites to propel vehicles both on land and in water since the 1800s. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, French brothers Bruno and Dominique Legaignoux began developing kitesurfing kites. Made of nylon, the inflatable kites float in water and can be re-launched after a spill.
"Kitesurfing is not for your average country-club tennis player," says Polo. He should know. A former competitive tennis player, tennis never gave him the adrenalin rush he gets from kitesurfing. Polo estimates he's kitesurfed 250 days in the last year.
Polo opened his kitesurfing school in 2003. He and his team have taught the sport to more than 3,000 people. Most customers are in their 20s, but some are kids and others, seniors. Polo says that though kitesurfing is easier to learn than conventional wave surfing - novice wave surfers need to do a lot of paddling as they struggle to get from lying down to standing up - proper training is essential. His three-day course costs about $400.
"What's hard to master is the kite. They're very powerful," Polo explains. Day 1 is devoted to learning to fly the kite. On Day 2, students do safety exercises in the water, learning how to re-launch a fallen kite, pack up emergency equipment and swim back to shore. Day 3 is spent on board work.
Novice kitesurfers tend to do a lot of dipping in and out of the water.
Hockley says women make better kitesurfing students than men. "They've got a lighter touch and they're just a little more timid. They listen and learn faster."
Anna Elleke, 18, is a model pupil. Elleke, who lives in Munich, is visiting her grandmother who has a cottage in nearby Tiwi. "My cucu (grandmother) gave me kitesurfing lessons as a graduation present," Elleke says.
Kitesurfing works the whole body, especially the core. A sore neck and shoulders - caused by looking up at the kite - are standard after a day kitesurfing.
A Tusker (Kenya's signature beer has an elephant on its logo) at The Kenyaway's beachfront bar might help. If not, the bar also has a massage menu. Included there is something called the Lost Kite Massage.
Some travellers are daredevils. Some contemplate the daredevil life.
Others are content to lie on the beach with a good book. But after a few pages, it's a special pleasure to look up in the air and watch the huge kites billowing against the deep blue sky.
There's always next time for that kitesurfing lesson.
