There are countless number of people that have contributed to my knowledge and motivation to contribute to the community with projects like this book. In particular, I would like to thank Joe Miller for his sharp eyes and having clearly better editing abilities than mine.

I would also like to thank my wife Sherry for the continued love and support despite all the extra time I had to put into projects like book writing.

I would also like to thank my parents, Helen and Bruce; I still miss you.
