Dedication

I would like to dedicate this book firstly to my wife, Jade. Her continued support and understanding has been amazing, not just throughout the creation of this book but in the eight years we have been together.

The second dedication is to our children: Jacob, currently 18 months old, and our new baby who is growing as we speak and scheduled to make an appearance around January 2, 2005.

I love you all!
