With today's extremely high heat, I just had to share a photo from my sister – Marianne.

North Ridgeville Bicentennial posters help worthy cause
Last Fall, I read about an organization in my town that was struggling to help local families in need with food, shelter, clothing, counseling and more. The North Ridgeville Community Care (NRCC) was experiencing dwindling funds as the demand for their services sharply increased due to our nation's worst recession in over 70 years.
That's when I decided to create a poster celebrating the Bicentennial of North Ridgeville to be used as a fund raiser for the NRCC.
The poster was designed with photos of North Ridgeville that I took last summer. My company, SpectraLight Photography, picked up the cost of printing so that 100% of the money raised would go to NRCC. My goal is to raise $1000.00 for this worthy organization through the sale of this poster. …

To my daughters on Father’s Day
Dear Jacqui and Dani,
On this Father's Day, I reflect back on our years together.
There are so many things I could have done differently in the quest of being the “perfect dad.” To that end, I have failed miserably.
I can't go back and change the past, but I pray for a future to win your hearts.
As I stand back and admire how you have both grown up, I am thankful for your caring spirits, sense of humour and your curiosity with the things around you. May you be a beautiful reflection of your mother's love from this day onward.
I Love You.
Dad

Your bank’s ATM – cause of identity theft?
An identity thief was nabbed in North Ridgeville – a small community about 25 minutes west of Cleveland.
Using a device called a “skimmer,” he acquired the information from the magnetic stripe on each bank customer's card and then used a remote camera to record the PIN as it was entered.
To learn how this is done, how to recognize a “skimmer” attached to an ATM and how to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft, read the informative article at: http://www.snopes.com/fraud/atm/atmcamera.asp

Ladies: this independent film will bring a SMILE to your face
“Babies” is a documentary that follows four babies in four different countries for a full year. If you're a mom, want to be a mom or just “Mr. Mom,” you should see this flick. I treated my wife and mother-in-law to this on Mother's Day and we all thoroughly enjoyed it (and I'm a guy! Please, don't take away my “Man Card.”)
Here's a review that does a nice job summing up this sweet, touching movie: http://tinyurl.com/3ae9hah
