04-16-2008 ... After receiving so many comments from friends and emails (which I have not had time to answer all of them) about giving away this website. I have decided to carry on at a much slower pace. So fewer updates. When I travel I will give notice in advance and update from my laptop time permitting. I would like to thanks everyone for their best wishes and i will answer the emails when I return from travel.
