There's More To Tennis Than Tournaments
Warning: The views and opinions expressed in the following blog post are exclusively those of Coach Ken and are the reason why All American Team Tennis is a Youth Sports League and not a series of tournaments. Reader discretion is advised.
One of my players entered a "tournament" here in West Palm Beach. All things considered, it went well. He played some points, he won some, he lost some, they gave him a water bottle, it was fine. No big deal. But I took from the event a few observations. Let me start by saying that attending a USTA tournament reminds me of why I don't like USTA tournaments. Having played baseball and football as a child, and ice hockey in my 20's, what I saw was very disappointing. It failed to capture not only my attention, but that of the players. And the tiny dictator, uh, I mean Tournament Director telling the parents to be quiet and reading off a list of rules the players have to follow, really put a damper on things. There has to be more to tennis than tournaments.
This was a Level 9 tournament for players 10 and under*. We won't go into why there are 9 levels of tournaments when every level is essentially the same. With many of the same players playing in multiple levels of tournament! That's beside the point. But, with this being a Level 9 event, the director brought teenage volunteers to monitor the courts to help the players who are new to the game. That was a good idea, but the execution needs work. The monitors need to be trained or at least have some playing experience in order to do the best job possible. But the kid monitoring my players match had NOT been trained and it showed. First, he asked another monitor how many games they would be playing. Then, during the warmup, he kept feeding balls to my player preventing the other player from hitting any serves. There must have been 15+ balls on the court. Then, instead of instructing the players to retrieve tennis balls, themselves, he went around the court picking up balls while trying to watch them play. That doesn't work very well and, needless to say, he missed a couple of points.
But this one really got me: my player served the ball into the box and the other player returned it. But he returned it high so my player moved in to take it out of the air. My player missed the shot so the other player got the point, anyway, but the monitor then began to admonish my player saying that the ball has to bounce and that's why the other player got the point. my player lost the point, so it really didn't matter, but the monitor continued to explain that the ball has to bounce because you are "not allowed to take it out of the air". Clearly this person has limited knowledge of the game because my player was simply going for a volley. My player argued the volley thing, but the monitor brought over another monitor to explain that he was right. Now my player is confused as to what to do. We hit almost nothing but volleys in practice and this person is telling him that volleys are not allowed?!? EVERY 8 year old is ill equipped to handle this situation. This would have been take care of if monitors were trained properly and/or tennis players had Coaches.
Which brings me to my next point: Coaches. Every player needs a coach. Not some of the time… ALL of the time. Have you ever heard the expression "can't see the forest for the trees"? That means when you stand too close to a single tree, bringing your face close enough to the bark to see the ants climbing it, the tree blocks your view of the rest of the forest. The same applies to athletics and sport: participants can get so focused (tunnel vision) on what's right in front of them (hitting the ball) they can't see anything else that's out there. But the coach can. The coach sits on the outside watching EVERYTHING that's happening. He sees things that the player doesn't and can instruct the player to focus on something else, if necessary.
But my biggest complaint is for the people holding on to the status quo. The attitude of people who blindly defend how tennis tournaments are conducted by saying "it has to be this way" or "the kids have to learn how to do this". Why? Why does it have to be this way? Do I need to learn this if I'm playing soccer? Why are there no referees? Why is coaching not allowed? Why are the parents asked to watch from outside the fence? Why separate a child from their parent? Because it's tennis?!? That's not a good enough reason.
You're gonna have to do better than that because we don't have to play tennis. There are plenty of other options for people to play games or get exercise. In fact, there was a BOXING class in the grass just outside of the tennis courts. Why not take up boxing instead of tennis? Not only is it exercise, but you learn how to throw hands if you need to defend yourself. Listen, if I don't LIKE what you're doing, I'm not going to do it. So a greater emphasis must be placed on LIKING rather than learning.
That's the bottom line.
But tennis has done very little to make the game appealing to a larger audience. It's a simple game that places a tremendous amount of pressure and stress and innumerable restrictions on its participants. For example, you have to hit the ball over the net and keep it inside the lines. Do you know how many people can't do that? Roughly 98% of America. It's one of the reasons why more people don't play. But instead of adapting the game to reach a broader audience, some people hold on to tradition and expect other people to change to accommodate a game they don't have to play. It's very bad for business.
To make that point, I was looking at the "tournament bracket for the event one of my players was supposed to play last weekend and I noticed something very troubling: in a bracket consisting of 16 spots, there were 13 players entered, and 6 of them were from outside Palm Beach County. I understand that not everyone is able to play every week at every location, but that is part of the problem: a lack of commitment from the players. Tennis players come and go as they please. And the fact that this event pulled 7 kids from Palm Beach County ages 10-12 is embarrassing when there are literally 10's of thousands of children in middle schools in this area. Football, baseball, basketball, and soccer get hundreds of players every Saturday morning. Ice hockey and lacrosse do the same. And we pull 7?!? Once a month?!? Something has to change.
All American Team Tennis is the solution to all of tennis' problems. Much of what we do can be found on your local college campus. First, every single one of us has a desire to be included, to feel like we're not alone, to interact with other people. It's how God made us. So All American Team Tennis is a team sport where players are placed on teams and given a uniform so they know where they belong. The uniform says "you're with us." The team says "you're not alone." Now you have someone to talk to.
Someone to hang out with. Someone to play with. Someone to travel with. Someone to invite to your birthday party. Someone to tell jokes to. Someone to talk to about your favorite tv show. And if you think none of those things are important when it comes to playing tennis, your head is in the wrong place. Because humans are social creatures, designed to desire the company of other people. And if we don't get that social interaction we become very selfish and bitter and inconsiderate and rude and condescending. I know this from first-hand experience because I've crossed paths with them repeatedly over time. How does a person learn respect when their opinion is the only one that matters?
See, in other sports, superstars still have to FIT IN with the group. Even in individual sports like wrestling, gymnastics, and karate. Their desire to be better than everyone else is balanced by what's best for the TEAM. Not so in tennis. I do WHAT I want, WHEN I want, HOW I Want, and if I don't WANT to, I ain't doing it because MY results are the only results that matter. I'm out here by myself, me against the world, so what happens to you does not matter to me because we're not CONNECTED in any way. And that seed of selfishness gets watered every time they play. So players become very unsympathetic, inconsiderate, unable to relate to other people, yet very demanding in their interactions with others because they are the only person that matters. That's cold!
Next, Game Day is every Saturday. That requires a commitment on the part of every player because the team is counting on them. Accountability is not required in individual sports, but makes for a much better member of society. An understanding that you are not alone, and that your actions affect those around you leads to greater maturity. That's what it means to be a Team Player.
Third, we put a referee on every court, similar to what you'll find at colleges like Miami and Ohio State (GO BUCKS!), and I train them personally. Relying on the players to conduct their own matches is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And those who defend it are missing a few synapses. Every type of competition should have someone watching the participants to make sure the game is played according to the rules. I don't care if it's tennis, football, or Nathan's 4th of July Hot Dog Eating Contest, there should be a referee. In the heat of the moment, when the stakes are so high, players can not be trusted to make the right call. There's an inherent bias to officiating your own match that leads to players making calls in their favor. That's called cheating. So we make sure to have someone that I've trained, personally, on every court. It's the right thing to do.
Not only does every match need a referee, but every player needs a coach. Period. So we invite our parents to act as coaches during practice and on Game Day. We don't relegate them to the outer limits, or the vast wasteland beyond the fences where they are forced to watch their child play through the wind screen**. But we invite them to come inside and set up a
chair to view the matches along the sidelines. They can talk to their kids, they can cheer for them, on the changeovers the parents can give their kids a bottle of water or grapes. It's a much better experience for everyone. And because the players are on a team they don't have to spend their changeover alone. Kids enjoy talking to each other. Surprising, isn't it. Coaches keep players on the right track because they can see the entire forest, not just the trees.
Never underestimate the value of community. Community creates emotional stability by lending perspective to any situation because when you realize you're not alone things are not as bad as they seem. And when you win, having someone to share it with makes it even more memorable.
Tennis doesn't have to be a miserable experience. In fact, it can be a very memorable one. All American Team Tennis is unlike your typical junior tennis program. We're different.. on purpose. Teams, uniforms, Game Day, coaches, parents, field trips, community, camaraderie, a support system, and that's only the beginning. We haven't even talked about the marketability of team sports! There's room for everyone on the team. Including you. So join us next season and see what all the noise is about.
I would love to know your thoughts. Send me an an email at email@example.com with your ideas.
*The USTA decided it would be a good idea to implement a series of tournaments for players under the age of 10, as a way of introducing children to tennis competition. The switch to shorter courts and low-compression balls is necessary to make the game easier for children to play. We do this, too. Unfortunately, they continue to use tournaments as their primary vehicle of transport. As my mechanic would say "Well, there's your problem!"
**And can anyone tell me why we have wind screens, anyway? They block your view more than they block the wind. If it's purely cosmetic, and you just want to put your logo on the fence, why not get a chain link with smaller holes and paint it? It'll last longer than nylon. Or put up sections of screen with your logo on it. Maybe along the back but not the sides. I'm just sayin'.Posted on: August 13, 2016coachken

Taormina myth
The first name of the town was
which is up to now preserved even if transformed in
Taormina, and it means built up area in Tauro,
the mountain upon which it rose.According to the historian Diodoro,
Siculians and Greeks too gave that name to the town.But there are a lot of legends around the origin of the
name.One of these tales is about a Minotauro, which is
represented in ancient coins, and by which the name
could derive.Another evokes two princes from Palestina, Taurus and
Menia, who would have founded the town, giving it the
Tauromena name.Around Taormina there are other many legends.Some of them have Pitagora
as protagonist, who would have spoken in the same day to
Taormina and to Metaponto, would have made Taormina
adopt the laws of Caronda,
would have placated the erotic furies of a young
taorminese playing his magic flute.In reality, Pitagora lived a historical period in which
Tauromenium was not still founded.
Guy de Maupassant in "La Vie
errante", 1885, wrote: "If somebody might pass one
day only in Sicily and asked: What should I visit? I
would answer without hesitate: Taormina".Perfumed with zagara and
jasmines, Taormina
became through the centuries, with its wonderful views,
with the sweetness of its climate, the rich history and
precious monuments, a tourist international centre, more
and more famousand wanted.It would be more correct, however, to say that Taormina
was born touristic.The Siculi had chosen it as their home city. And after
them the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Saracens, in
other words all its conquerors, inhabited Taormina for
long periods and not only because of political
vicissitudes.The Normans, particularly, consecrated it like a tourist
residential center and it became, since then, centre for
congresses and conferences, visits and stays.If we wanted to anchor the tourist modern history of
Taormina to an initial date, we could settle down the
date of 1870, year in which the
Siracusa-Catania-Messina railroad was completed.Another important event was the inauguration in 1873
of the Hotel Timeo.
In 1904 the most
important hotels in Taormina, as it results in a
publication printed in New York, were
Hotel San
Hotel Timeo,
Hotel Metropole,
Hotel Castello a Mare,
Hotel Naumachie,
Hotel Victoria.
In more than one hundred years the tourism in Taormina
have had ups and downs.
But the town is still the dream of the tourists from all
the world who love the beauties of nature and art.
In 1770 Patrick Brydone
arrived in Taormina and in 1787 the town was discovered
by J. W. Goethe
(accompanied by the draftsman Kniep) who dedicated
exalting pages to the city in his book entitled "Journey
to Italy".Filippo Calandruccio in "Beehive" writes
that "the travellers went and came in number always
increasing and a lot of them represented artistically
their emotional reactions".But it was only about the end of the 19th century that
Taormina reached the apex of the notoriety as place of
international stay.Nobles and well-off English men started to acquire more
and more villas.Soon there came also the North
Americans, Austro-Hungarians, Baltics, Belgians, Swiss,
Dutchs, Germans.The most prestigious characters of the whole Europe
visited Taormina.
Taormina is famous as an international tourist centre thanks to
Otto Geleng, a young red-haired Prussian painter, best
known in
his hometown of Berlin for his fine paintings, which he composed
and painted in Italy but exhibited in Germany.What distinguishes Geleng, however, is his choice to depict the
more southern regions where he captured the spectacular views
and lights of Sicily. He often painted the Greek colonial ruins' areas, including
Taormina.It was Geleng's views that made its beauty talked about
throughout Europe and turned the site into a famous tourist
center.The artist arrived in Sicily at the age of 20 in search of new
subjects for his paintings.On his way through Taormina he was so enamoured by the landscape
that he decided to stop for the winter.Geleng began to paint everything that Taormina offered: ruins,
sea, mountains, none of which were familiar to the rest of
Europe.When his paintings were later exhibited in Berlin and Paris,
many critics accused Geleng of having an unbridled
imagination'.At that, Geleng challenged them all to go to Taormina with him,
promising that he wouid pay everyone's expenses if he was not
telling the truth.He went back to Taormina, created the first hotel out of a noble
mansion, now called the Timeo Hotel, and that was that:
paintings reflected the reality of absolutely unique natural
In the late 19th century, another German,
Wilhelm von Gloeden,
had his photographs distributed all over the world, especially
those of nude boys adorned with crowns of laurel which made
Berlin's upper classes go into raptures.He was claimed to be
minor German aristocrat from Mecklenburg. Suffering from what
appears to have been tuberculosis, he came to Taormina in 1876.
He was wealthy and also scrupulously shared the
proceeds of his sales with his models, providing a considerable
economic boost in this comparativily poor region of Italy, which
might explain why the homosexual aspects of his life and work
were generally tolerated by the locals.During the early 20th century the town became a colony of
expatriate artists, writers, and intellectuals.D. H. Lawrence stayed here at the Fontana Vecchia from 1920 to 1922, and
wrote a number of his poems, novels, short
stories, and essays, and a travel book, "Sea and Sardinia".He writes: "Here we feel as if we lived for a thousands of years.
I know that Taormina isn't waiting only for me, it waits for all
men."Charles Webster Leadbeater,
the theosophical author, found out that Taormina had the right
magnetics fields for Jiddu Krishnamurti to develop his talents.
In 1927 the young Icelandic writer Halldoer Laxness (born 1902)
published his first major novel, Vefarinn mikli fra Kasmir
(The Great Weaver of Kashmir), a panorama of social,
literary, religious and sexual issues of his times.
Laxness, who won the Nobel prize for literature in 1955, wrote
most of his novel in Taormina which he then praised highly in
his book of autobiographical essays, Skaldatimi
(The Time of the Poet) from 1963.
Between 1948 and 1999 the English writer
Daphne Phelps
lived in the Casa Cuseni designed and built by Robert
H. Kitson in 1905, and entertained
various friends including Bertrand Russell,
Ronald Dahl, and Tennessee Williams.
Daphne Phelps, who has died aged 94, was for nearly 60 years the
dutiful custodian and hospitable locandiera of Casa Cuseni, the
villa built a century
ago by her uncle, the artist Robert H. Kitson.The site commands spectacular views of Mount Etna and the Bay of
Naxos over the rooftops of Taormina, and has ample cisterns to
collect water for
the 13 garden terraces and fountain courts.Daphne was also the author of A House in Sicily (1999),
published by Virago, which provides her account of notable house
guests and local people who
enjoyed her patronage.
Daphne embellished Casa Cuseni's terraces and courts with exotic
plants and fruit trees.These flourished in the rich humus she
produced, according to the
principles of the Soil Association, of which she, encouraged by
her friend Michael Bruce, became a life member.
The gardens and house, itself a casa museo with a unique dining
room furnished and decorated by Sir Frank Brangwyn
and Sir Alfred East, have been
declared of "cultural and historic importance" by the Belle Arti
in Messina, and Daphne's heirs intend to maintain this legacy,
one of very few Sicilian
properties still in the care of its expatriate creators.The family fortune was built around Kitsons of Leeds, locomotive
manufacturers from the 1830s. By the 1890s, Daphne's mother was
on her way up to
the stimulating company of Newnham College, Cambridge, and met
Alys and Bertrand Russell, who put her name forward to the
Fabian Society, and Sidney and Beatrice Webb, for whom she undertook research for their
history of English local government.Marriage, 3 daughters and a son, and the depressive impact of
the first world war on their father, curtailed her activities -
and profoundly affected Daphne.
St Felix School, Southwold, Suffolk, she trained in psychiatric
social work at St Anne's College, Oxford, and the London School
of Economics. Seeking further experience, she embarked for New
York in 1939. The war blocked her return until
August 1941,
and her hand-to-mouth existence included taking a homesick
Benjamin Britten for a drive on Long Island and enjoying the
hospitality of the Russells on Lake Tahoe, and in the
bizarre stockade of the Barnes Foundation, near Philadelphia.
Back in London, she worked in Sir Solly Zuckerman's team,
researching the effects
of the blitz, and then at the London Hospital before joining the
West Sussex child guidance service, set up by her guru from the
LSE, Dr Kate Friedlander.
The death of her uncle Robert in September 1947 redirected
Daphne's life.He had just returned to Casa Cuseni, which had
been commandeered
in turn by Italian fascists, the German high command, Lieutenant
Alan Whicker's Army Film Unit, and, as a rest camp, by a
Canadian regiment.Daphne went to sort out the estate and sell up, but the sale
fell through, and by then she had a good working relationship
with her uncle's cook.She reduced costly commitments, fended off local suitors with an
eye on her inheritance and found she could just afford to live
there if she had studio flats built on the roof terrace and took
paying guests.
These were attracted through an extensive network of artists,
writers, academics and other interesting people.Their friends,
children and grandchildren were to follow.
The first guests included the artists
Julian Trevelyan and his future wife, Mary Fedden.His father, Bob, probably
introduced Kitson to Taormina where a Trevelyan aunt had settled
many years before, and his cousin, Raleigh, became a regular
Gaylord Hauser took the house and reputedly entertained
Greta Garbo.The Russells came, as did the novelists Jocelyn Brooke,
Dame Janet Vaughan and other Somerville College alumni,
Alison "Monroe of Arabia" and Janet Adam Smith, and Robina Addis
of the World Federation for
Mental Health. Dennis Mack Smith of All Soul's College, Oxford,
drafted his History of Sicily at Casa Cuseni.Bob Macrae of
Toronto University drafted his study of John Stuart Mill there.
Daphne had misgivings about some guests, such as German matrons
whose songs she associated with the Hitler Youth, and she kept
out Caitlin Thomas, widow of Dylan, with her clinking bottles.
But she always found room for the wayward Kentucky artist, Henry
Faulkner, and his menagerie, which sometimes included Tennessee
Daphne provided a heaven for the young people who came with her
nephew to support those made homeless by the Belice
valley earthquake of 1968, and the Italian archaeologists
whore vealed the ancient Greek city at Gela.
American guests included Alfred Barr
of New York's Museum of Modern Art and academics such as Bette
and John McAndrew,
the architectural historian and founding director of Save
Venice.Bette McAndrew was so impressed by Daphne's Venice in Peril
fundraising - she opened the house to tour groups and displayed
its collection of Venetian, Moroccan and Balkan costumes - that
she left Daphne the residue of her estate.This enabled her, in the 1980s, to refenestrate the front of
Casa Cuseni.
Daphne did not publish her recollections of her uncle's close
friend, Don Carlo Siligato, and never wrote up her
scabrous tales
about the princes of Biscari who lived next door for some
years, but her accounts indicate her close integration into
Sicilian life.She was on good terms with the same Mafia boss as her uncle. And
she is remembered with affection for continuing her uncle's
support for the hostel for the aged poor, recommending
struggling restaurants and shops to her guests, and patronising
the now renowned Macri marionette theatre of Acireale.Daphne found a soul mate in her housekeeper,
Concetta Cundari,
who shared her love of horticulture, cooking, children and
dogs, and was given the house at the garden gate for her family.
When aroused, Daphne was formidable, and had no difficulty
gathering a petition against the demeaning appendage of her
uncle's name to an unkempt cul-de-sac.The Taormina Comune
transferred it to a prominent highway.
When Daphne had to give up travelling to England, she asked
Concetta to implement her donation of her uncle's sketchbooks
and a selection of his watercolours to Leeds University, for
which Kitson had commissioned Brangwyn to design the ceremonial
verge on its foundation in 1905.The success of A House in Sicily paid for repairs and air
conditioning in her own apartment during what she termed her
"yonderly" years.Many are glad to celebrate Daphne's
indomitable vitality and her legacy to future generations.

Pietro Rizzo writes in his "Tauromenium" book: "From
the Tauro Mount, from the Theater, from the Vergin Mary of the
Fortress Church and from
the Castle, the sight flows freely from the mountains to the sea
and to the coast horizon of the south toward Catania, through
the slopes to the smoking crater of the immense and imposing
Etna. Northward we could admire the lines of the coast, always
beautiful and picturesque, which runs toward Messina. From those
different places perspectives open out before our eyes and
marvelous landscapes of light and color, fluffy distances
and verdant hills, foreshortenings and rural profiles and steep
and leaning cliffs, green balconies crowned of white cottages
and sea beaches on
which the shades of the beach houses are inverted reflected in
the water under a clear and dazzling brightness..."
Filippo Calandruccio writes in Beehive: "as
reading The Thousand and One Nights one feels himself like
Bulukiya, the young sultan who goes around
the roads of the world to meet Mohammed and to placate his
anxiety of search which will be placated by an island seldom
enchantment, very
similar to the heaven of the Islam. Now this Taormina, glad
island, is reality and it is fable."
Johannes Wolfang Goethe writes:
"View extends for the long hilly ridge of the Etna, for the
beach to Catania, and farther as far as Siracusa.
The colossal smoking volcano closes the endless view, without
rawness, because the atmospheric vapours make it appear farther
and fairer.
If then we look at the passages built behind the anlookers, here
on the left there are walls of rock, and between these and the
sea there is the road which winds toward Messina, and groups and hoards of rocks, the
coast of Calabria in the last background, which you could
perceive only carefully watching through the clouds that sweetly rise.
Seeing how this country, in all its interesting details, sunk
into an abyss, has been a scene of inexpressible beauty."
Dumas writes:
"...We went into raptures at the sight of Taormina.
On our left, closing the horizon, Etna rose, that sky column, as
Pindaro called it, which with its violet mass was silhouetted
against the reddish sky
because all crossed by the borning rays of the sun.
In a second plan, two tawny montains which one could have said
covered with a boundless skin of lion.
After having appreciated a so great view, magnificent and
bright, -so that Jadin, impressed, didn't want to make either a
sketch, -we turned the bow
towards the east."
Guy de Maupassant writes:
"If somebody might pass one day only in Sicily and asked: "What
should I visit?" I would answer without hesitate: "Taormina".
It is only a landscape, but a landscape in which you can find
all that seems to be created on earth to seduce the eyes, mind
and fantasy.
Where are the peoples who could make, today, things like these?
Where are the men able in building, for the crowd pleasure,
works like these?
Those men, the ones of a time, had soul and eyes different from
the ours; in their veins, with blood, flowed something lost:
love and cult for Beauty."
Edmondo De Amicis writes:
"...What you see is a view that Naples, Constantinople and Rio
de Janeiro haven't so great. Down, you see the little smiling
town, which extends as
an arc among almond and orange trees, cactuses, pines; on the
back of the town, an half-circle of mountains which rush at sky
its rocky vertexes crowned with castles and villages; further on
there is the huge Etna, with its white head coloured with pink,
overhanging the Jonio Sea, and it seems
that it advances to dip there its flank; on the right and on the
left you see almost the whole eastern coast of Sicily...and this
huge view of breasts, promontories, woods, villages, gardens
smiles upon the sea beauty and under the sky beauty of which the
human word couldn't give idea.
I don't believe in hell, but in paradise, because I've seen it
....and it's this one."
Truman Capote writes:
"...Sicilian spring begins in January, and it gathers in a
bouquet worthy for a queen, in the garden of a magician where
all is in bloom.
April, writes Eliot, is the cruellest month: but not here.
Here it's bright, as the snow on the Etna...
I noticed with surprise, sat on that wall, an old man with
velvet pants, winded in a black mantle...It was an astonishing
theatrical apparition and
nothing more; only after having watched with more attention I
noticed he was Andre Gide..."

PiZap. Kapow. Cool photo effects in secs
I'm off to SES New York today. I have been fiddling around with a new type of business card, a pamphlet really, that includes a few excerpts from our print publication, my contact details including Twitter.com/JuliePower and maybe even this fun photo. Is it too crazy?
If you see me, say hi.
I am always interested in talking to marketers in small to medium sized companies.
Sadly, Mr. O is staying behind in DC to keep the economy going.
P.S. I did this photo using PiZap for free. But I found the best place to edit photos before loading on PiZap was Picnik.com. Very easy to go straight to the editing tools. Much easier to use than Picasa, where I have an account.

Designing a website can be fun, especially for the beginners. You get to choose what is to be put up, what text you want to appear on the page. You also get to pick the visual elements. What photos will you use? What colors will the different borders have? You can play around with text, its colors, sizes and make the page look effective.
Somewhere along the line you will get to the coding part. Did you think websites were only text? Don't forget the links in the texts or images; you must never forget the links. Also, don't forget to put alt tags on some images for easy identification. You will also have to be familiar with canonical tagging to reconcile similar content if your website has more than just one page.
Of course you should not forget the copyright part of the page, the header part and the footer part.
What about the image in the back of it all. You know…the one that doesn't even when you scroll up and down the page?
Is this still as easy as you thought it would be?
Are You sure You're Up to the Task?
The more you dabble in designing a website, the more you realize you should leave this job to the professionals, especially when you realize that the website is essentially a reflection of you or the group you represent. You want the website to look the best it can. You want it to strike a balance between text and graphics, you want it to have the right trigger and mood colors. Most of all you want viewers to take a look at it and not click it away immediately.
If you want your website done right, this is where we at OrangeSpike come in. We understand a website is more than just the sum of its parts. A website should be pleasant to look at as a whole, yet its individual parts should be easy on the eyes.
There are rules to consider when building a website. No one will stop you if you want to throw everything in and call it a website, but do you really want to take that risk with so much riding on your reputation?
There are considerations if you want your website to look formal, outrageous or simple. It doesn't matter if you want a no-nonsense website for your company, a homey-looking website for your family or a quirky one dedicated to your cat. Our professional web designers can make your website look the way it should.
At OrangeSpike.com we just don't design your website to make it look awesome; we design it to make it more visible to search engines. A lot of this has to do with correctly tagging content where these are images or text and making sure they show up on the leading search engines. After all, what good is an awesome web design if the people can't see it?

It's a pleasure to do business with Aberts. Estimates are prompt and accurate. The work is completed within the scope of the original estimate. I have no doubt they put the customer first, and don't try to up-sell expensive, unnecessary repairs. It's such a relief to have a reliable, affordable auto shop available! I've been spoiled, and won't return to dealerships for service again.

Jennie (Turville) & George Brydon, NS, 1945
George Brydon and Jennie (Turville) Brydon, possibly from Hamilton or elsewhere in Ontario, Canada, had a son Richard Nov 13, 1945, outside Yarmouth, NS, Canada. They had to give him up for adoption, most likely because they were too young to care for the child properly. They were probably born about 1927 or 1928. George's parents signed the consent papers for the adoption procedure.
George may have been in the armed forces at the time, and may have trained or spent time in the Riverview (Moncton), NB area before being posted in Yarmouth. The doctor who helped with the birth was probably Dr. Sutherland.
I am Richard Brydon. I do not want to upset or distrurb my birth parents, but would like to know if I have any brothers or sisters, and if there are any medical problems in the family that I should know about. I have the adoption documents, but will not contact them directly if they do not wish this. I am 56 now, and both my adoptive parents have been dead for many years. I was raised very well as an only child.
I am posting here since there is no TURVILLE forum yet. I notice in the Canadian phone listings there are onyl 19 TURVILLE spellings, with 11 in Ontario and 8 in Alberta.

LIFO Glossary
This refers to which month's CPI or PPI indexes is used to calculate inflation under the IPIC method. In the case of a retailer using the retail method, the appropriate month is the last month of the retailer's taxable year. In the case of all other taxpayers including manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers using the cost method, the appropriate month is the month most consistent with the method used to determine the current-year cost of the dollar-value pool and the taxpayer's history of inventory production or purchases during the taxable year. A taxpayer not using the retail method may annually select an appropriate month for each dollar-value pool based on criteria outlined in the Regulations.
An inventory identification method for which inventories are identified at an average of unit cost calculated for each inventory item. The current-year cost of each item is based on the average of all the costs incurred by a taxpayer in acquiring or producing the same types of items during the taxable year. The average cost must be based on a full twelve months of costs and only costs incurred during the current taxable year.
The CPI are indexes tracked and published by the BLS and are utilized to measure inflation for some companies on the IPIC LIFO method. CPI measure the average change in prices of goods and services purchased by households, and measure such changes from the perspective of the purchaser. Retailers using the IPIC method are authorized to utilize the CPI. There are approximately 350 CPI codes, and indexes are released by the BLS each month.
A LIFO index that is the measure of LIFO inflation from the base year to the current year-end.
A LIFO index that is the measure of LIFO inflation for the current year only. Current year LIFO indexes are used for link-chain method LIFO calculations.
A term used to describe the year-end inventory balance.
FIFO is an inventory identification method for which inventories that assumes that the first items purchased are treated as the first items sold. Year end inventories are identified using the unit cost of the last purchases made on an item-by-item basis.
Often referred to as a "traditional LIFO method", it describes a method for which inflation is measured based on a taxpayer's actual change in unit price for each item.
The IPIC method is an elective method of determining the LIFO value of a taxpayer's inventory. Unlike traditional LIFO methodologies, inflation under the IPIC method is based on externally published indexes, consumer or producer price indexes (CPI or PPI). The CPI and PPI are published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a division of the Department of Labor.
Application for Change in Accounting Method. A Form 3115 for LIFO-related method changes includes:
- Change from LIFO to a non-LIFO method (also referred to as LIFO termination)
- Change from one LIFO method to another LIFO method
Application to Use LIFO Inventory Method. A Form 970 is required for:
- Initial LIFO elections
- Expanding the scope of a LIFO election
- Changing from a non-IPIC method to the IPIC method
LIFO is an elective inventory identification methodology, an alternative to methods such as FIFO and average cost. It is a cost flow assumption that assumes that goods most recently purchased are the first to be sold, and that goods remaining in inventory at year end are those acquired in chronological order since the company adopted LIFO. This seldom matches the actual physical flow of goods. The theoretical justification for LIFO is that it matches goods sold during the current period with the cost of goods most recently purchased.
During periods of rising prices, the effect of using LIFO is that the value of the most recently purchased, higher cost items are included in the Cost of Goods Sold, while the older, lower cost goods remain in inventory. This results in a lower inventory valuation, higher Cost of Goods Sold and lower taxable income.
Taxpayers electing LIFO for tax purposes must elect LIFO for book purposes per IRS Regulations. The LIFO method used for book purposes need not be the same as the LIFO method used for tax purposes. It is common for taxpayers to elect the IPIC LIFO method for tax purposes and an internal LIFO method for book purposes.
This is the difference between the current period's LIFO Reserve and the previous period's LIFO Reserve (LIFO Expense = current period's LIFO Reserve – previous period's LIFO Reserve).
This is a term used to describe a change in the LIFO reserve that results in income (prior year reserve exceeds current year reserve). LIFO income is often the result of current year deflation or a LIFO decrement, or a combination of both.
The measure of LIFO inflation for each LIFO pool for taxpayers using dollar-value LIFO.
For taxpayers using the dollar-value LIFO method, all inventory items included in the LIFO election scope must separated by groups of similar inventory items. These similar items are grouped together to establish LIFO pools. There are a number of different pooling methods for grouping similar items together to establish LIFO pools allowed by the IRS.
A term describing the difference between the cost of inventory recorded on the general ledger and the LIFO value of inventory (LIFO Reserve = FIFO – LIFO). The LIFO Reserve represents the cumulative value that a company's taxable income or financial reporting pre-tax income has been reduced by using LIFO since the method was first adopted. The general ledger contra asset account(s) used to record this difference is also referred to as the LIFO reserve.
An inventory valuation method in which inventory is valued at the lower of actual cost or current market price. LCM typically involves the use of market write-downs. The IRS does not allow taxpayers to write-down inventory that is on LIFO for tax purposes.
A term describing a situation in which the LIFO value of inventory is greater than the cost of inventory recorded on the general ledger.
The PPI are indexes tracked and published by the BLS and are utilized to measure inflation for some companies on the IPIC LIFO method. PPI measure the average change in the prices received by domestic producers of goods and services, and measure such changes from the perspective of the seller. Any company on the IPIC method is authorized to utilize the PPI. There are approximately 2,600 PPI codes, and indexes are released by the BLS each month.
The use of indexes published by the federal government to calculate LIFO indexes. The LIFO methods that permit the use of published indexes are the IPIC method available to all taxpayers and the BLS Department Stores Index method available only to department or discount store retailers.
This refers to which month's CPI or PPI indexes is used to calculate inflation under the IPIC method. When a taxpayer elects a representative month, the same month must be used from year to year. To change or revoke its election of its representative month, the taxpayer must obtain the Commissioner's consent.
An inventory identification method for which inventories are identified at a moving average of unit cost calculated for each inventory item. Under this method, the average unit cost is recalculated with each inventory purchase for each item.

In my short 20 years of life, I've fallen in love with countless songs, albums and artists of every genre. Typically, I make playlists according to my state of mind (as I'm sure lots of people do), but there will always be a select few songs that touch my heart regardless of what mood I'm in. Some of them might make me feel nostalgic or eclectic, while others have the power to drastically affect my emotions. I also can't forget the tunes that I simply find incredibly catchy and uplifting.
Here's a list of 10 songs I've heard over the years that will forever be my favourite:
1. Coldplay - Fix You
2. Radiohead - High and Dry
3. Joseph Arthur - In The Sun
4. Snow Patrol - Called Out in The Dark
5. The Temptations - My Girl
6. The Beatles - Blackbird
7. Fleetwood Mac - Landslide
8. Pearl Jam - Just Breathe
9. Dr. Dre - No Diggity
10. Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats
Music is such a powerful part of our lives, and I absolutely love the fact that I can attach a song to everything I've gone through and create my own personal soundtrack. What are some of your favourite songs?

Maroof Raza, Conulting Editor, Strategic Affair, TIMES NOW, today said that Indian security establishment has been facing terror threats from Pakistan for at least 2.5 decade, and much greater degree of national consensus is needed to deal with it. "We need a comprehensive national approach in dealing with terrorism. It makes it difficult for security establishment to counter terror unless there is cooperation from every state," he said. "The use of smart technology that will strengthen the police force is also required" Maroof said.

I have a love for chambray and when I saw this long chambray maxi skirt I knew it would be a quick favorite of mine. What I love to do with my high waisted maxi skirts from time to time is just wear them with a simple white tank top and either tie it on the side or in the center. It accentuates the waistline and shows off the skirt more while adding a twist to an ordinary tank top.

Tea is what Chinese people drink to accompany a meal. It has thousand years of history and has been drank even before the beginning of the dynasties. When you go to a Yue Cuisine, after you sat down, you always hear "what tea would you like to drink?". This is like when you go to a American Restaurant and the server asking you what drink would you like. The are tons of tea leaves including black tea, yellow tea, green tea, oolong tea and jasmine tea out there but few popular ones that are shared amongst most Yue Cuisines are the Longjing Tea, Pu,er Tea, Tieguanyin Tea, Xiangpian Tea, etc. These 4 are the most popular and a must have in Yue Cuisines.
What is Yue Cuisine?
Yue Cuisine is originated from Guangdong, the southern part of China. It is also known as the Cantonese Cuisine or Cantonese food. Yue Cuisine is one of the main four types of Chinese cooking. Unlike the other three types of Chinese food, Yue Cuisine tries to retain the origin flavor of the food instead of using tons of spices and sauces in the process of cooking the food. Foreigners are often astonished by the variety of animals used in Yue Cuisine. It varies from normal food like seafood to snake and century eggs. The century eggs definitely taste better than it looks. The variety comes from the different animals from the vase lands and coastlines.

As promised before, I wanted to share results of our little experiment that we've started not too long ago.
Knowing Jake has very sensitive digestive system, we decided to give it a go with natural organic KEFIR (click on this link to read more about kefir). We all know how beneficial fermented foods are for our bellies. Well, we tried sauerkraut last year (and he was eating it every day till my surgery, which broke the routine and we never fully got back to it!). We had ups and downs, feeling like there have been way more downs than ups recently, but then we were reminded – IT'S ALL IN THE GUT!
Our immune system starts in our gut! The better our digestive system functions, the healthier we are. So we tried kefir 🙂 I am giving it to Booboo (Jake's nickname) with a syringe (like a medicine) because he will accept anything that's "odd" as long as I label it "MEDICINE". So there you go! I'm sure you can find your own way to give this stuff to your picky eaters. Start with small doses – adding kefir to mashed potatoes or soups, sauces etc… or if they like yogurts, add some there. Make sure you don't heat or cook it, because then all trillions of good bacteria will be killed!
School year has been pretty good so far. Jake had a few "bad" days but in general I believe he's improving drastically. The other day, he grabbed his homework notepad and brought it to me, asking to do his homework with my supervision – it's amazing! And he seems to be more interested in drawing again (which used to be his favorite thing in the whole world!). He's keeping eye contact for longer and tries to verbalize his desires more, as well as using PECS and sentence strips correctly! I'm truly amazed!
And we DANCED for the longest time, just me and my boy – laughing, hugging and crying (OK, just me crying part because I am a softy, shhh)
Our church family prayed for us and especially our handsome dude – crying, fasting, pleading with God to help him. I tell you what! It works! Us, as parents can get really down sometimes and feel like our prayers don't go anywhere. It's good to ask other believers to pray! I heard someone saying one day: "Even if you don't believe in God or power of prayer, go to some Bible believing church and ask people there to put your autistic child on their prayer list, and pray for him/ her until you get your prayers answered. 'Cause prayer of the faithful avails a lot!"
I am going a bit crazy with making photo albums these days – reminiscing the good times…
So here's a song I love "Best day of my life" by American Authors, accompanied by the photographs of THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES 🙂 Enjoy!
Love you all dearly and pray God will grant the desires of your hearts.

Excellent read: funny, smart and sexy. If you are looking for the EL James "Fifty" books, this is not it (which in my opinion, is a VERY good thing (sorry to James' fans)). I caught one funny "homage" to Fifty Shades of Grey where the MC, Jude Kinsalle asks another character why she's talking in ellipses. This book is a light mystery with some nice m/m and a hot f/f scene. The characters are fun and well-written. This is apparently part of a series and I had to do some searching through Ms. Swain's catalog to find the others. I LOL'd at many of the lines!
Very funny and very sexy

Inexplicable Font variation!
On my index.php, I have an include that brings in a .php file, which essentially acts as an aside. I use this exact same include on individual pages by using runPHP. The includes using runPHP are exactly the way I want them, no problem there. The problem comes with the index.php — the include shows up in the right spot, no problem, but the font is 'bolded'.
index.php –> http://seamshistoric.com/journal
individual page –> http://seamshistoric.com/journal/gloves
(please don't view in IE — I'm still trying to figure out THOSE problems too. My only concern is the font variation.)

I downloaded League of Legends by Riot Games, thinking that I would be bored out of my mind. About 30 hours of gameplay later and 10 levels earned, I need a support group to get me off of this damn game.
The best worst part about this game is the fact that it's totally FREE. The production value of the game is amazing for that price. Of course, they offer plenty of incentives to spend money on it, but it's not a requirement.
Reviewed after the jump.League of Legends is the spiritual successor to the DotA (Defense of the Ancients) mod for Warcraft III. This time, there are many times more heroes to play with. For the uninitiated, LoL looks and feels much like a Blizzard RTS, except without the mass unit management. Instead, you get one character to play with, and 2 or 4 other teammates depending on the game mode (3×3 or 5×5). Each unit has a unique set of abilities. Choose from archtypes including tanks, mages, stealth ninjas, offensive carries, and everything in between.
This is the straight and condensed PVP experience. AI driven armies run paths from one base to the other, and initiate battles when they meet. It's up to the "Champions" to push the war's outcome one way or another. The interface is almost straight out of the Warcraft III playbook. There is a map and "fog of war" that prevents you from seeing everywhere.
The game offers a slate of characters for you to choose from, each an archetype sampling of the total lineup (about 40+). I initially started with Katrina, a rogue-ish fighter with teleporting abilities. I quickly switched my favorite character to a poisonous rat called Twitch, an offensive ranged fighter with poison arrows and the ability to sneak up on enemies with invisibility.
To be honest, balancing is probably an on-going battle with this game. It is very easy to see that some characters just pack more punch than others… and it's up to you to figure out which. It's possible to add more to your character by buying items at a store located back at your base, and you also get a couple customizable spells as a "Summoner" which enable you to heal units or teleport once in a 4 minute cooldown.
The Verdict
This game is simple, straightforward, and addicting as hell. The main disappointment I have over the game is the extreme limitation on game maps that they have. For such a diverse lineup of characters, they only have 2 maps to play on, and it gets old after a while.
The best part about this game is that it's free. There really isn't much to it, so I doubt anyone would pay much money for this game anyway, but it's worth the price many times over.
I'd recommend checking this game out on a lazy Sunday afternoon. After download, it's pretty quick and easy to jump into a match and start spellcasting to your heart's content.

Wide Grenade is a special variant of the standard Grenade.
The damage of the Wide Grenade is slightly higher than the normal grenade and has a much larger radius than the original. It also creates a small smoke screen after denotation that lasts for about 1 second, though it lasts for a very short duration, it sometimes can save your life as it can cover your movements for just a bit.
It can be obtained for 7 or 30 days in most versions by getting Assassin badges.
In Crossfire Europe , the Wide Grenade was removed on the patch that took place 8.13.2015 from the item shop due the negative feedback of players claiming it was unfair and over-powered. This is because it dealt 100 damage (82 with bp) to the enemy throughout its radius consistently. In other words, if the grenade hit you at any distance, as long as you're in the radius, you'd get killed. Nearly 1 month after its release, it was removed from the item shop. However, players that bought the grenade, still kept it- until the grenade expires from their inventory.
- CF China
- CF Vietnam
- CF Japan
- CF North America
- CF Europe (delayed)
- CF Indonesia
- Although Wide Grenade acts as a frag grenade, its design looks similar to M84 Stun Grenade in real life which acts as a Flashbang instead.
- This grenade has two variants in CF Vietnam, the one in the Item Shop called "Lựu đạn cuồng nộ" and the one in the map Jungle Temple correctly called "Wide Grenade".
- Although it's called Wide Grenade, in some CF versions, its Bag Icon called it as Grenade-S, a name of the deleted Grenade in Pmang CF.
- In CF Brazil, this grenade isn't available. But it's variant, Wide Grenade Ares, is available.

I called the GI doctor today - of course, he's out of the country for three weeks -- he'll be back next week. I like and trust my GI, and I get a little tired of telling my life story to strange doctors (well, all doctors are a little strange. What I mean is, doctors who are strangers to me... my daddy told me not to talk to them), so I wasn't overly excited to hear he was gone. His nurse said my GI has called in from across the world a few times, and he has always asked how I'm doing. I don't know if I should feel flattered or embarrassed. I'm goin' with flattered. ;)
I called because I will be in serious trouble if I stop taking steroids tomorrow. I'm already crashing hard and it would be a big jump to go from my current dosage to nothing. I spoke with another GI doctor - the one who talked me through my first Remicade treatment. He's a super nice guy, and very knowledgeable, so while I still would much rather have spoken to my real GI, this was okay. He is concerned about my ability to fight the kidney infection because of all the steroid stuff.
Short science lesson: everyone's body produces steroids every day. When you're sick, your body makes more steroids to help you get better and cope with the physiological stress of being sick. When you take steroid medication long-term, your body stops making its own steroids. So, if you get sick, your body doesn't kick in to help you fight it off. You may require "booster" doses of steroids to help your body cope. Also, the doctor says, some special people, like me, have bodies that "forget" to start making steroids again when they come off long-term steroid medication, since the natural steroids have been suppressed for so long. So all this results in the withdrawal symptoms I've been experiencing. You can actually go into shock from this, especially if you have an infection - perhaps why I've been feeling so crummy?
So, the new plan is not very fun, but I'm on board, I guess. I'm going to increase the steroids until the infection is gone (which hopefully will help my body kick in and fight the infection), and then slowly taper off over a period of thirteen weeks. Yes, thirteen (13)... which seems like forever to me. I've been on a lot of lousy medications, and this is the one I hate being on the most, but a few positive things:
- Usually, as I taper off, all my UC symptoms come back with a vengeance, so I yo-yo up and down with steroids for ages and have to throw in some new immunosuppressant to get off this one without bleeding internally to death or something. This time, I don't have that problem, praise God!
- I hopefully can avoid all the withdrawal symptoms by tapering off this slowly. That means no more crashing!
- The last nine weeks will be on such a low dose that (I'm hoping) it won't affect me or make me feel weird.
- This is just a part of the investment so I can be healthy for the rest of my life.
- This will (Lord willing) be the (drumroll, please) LAST time I'll ever have to take steroids. Ever. Can't wait for that day to arrive. Please start planning a party. You are all invited, and it's gonna be a doozy. ;)
