While it is true that all the information you need to create and maintain a Webcomic is available on the Internet, finding the stuff can be difficult. For example, finding character design sheets and comic storyboard sheets can be quite challenging, not to mention the problem in finding a Manga A4-to-A5 Layout Board that you can actually get to print on your inkjet printer without losing the edges! We have brought together these various elements and put them on this page to make your life a little easier.

The downloads below are divided into three sections: fourteen design, plotting, and storyboard sheets to help the artist and writer create their characters and plot and organize the stories they intend to tell; seven Comic Art-boards used in the Comic industry today, both in Japan and in the U.S; and six comic-book layout sheets (also called signature ladders) to help you fit your comic into the appropriately-sized book.

Given all the praise and hype that surrounds Duolingo, I wanted to articulate why, in my opinion, it is at best, a supplement, and what to use in its place if you truly wish to learn Irish.

I’ll begin by focusing on the issues with Duolingo in general, followed by those particular to the Irish course itself later on.

I am not going to focus on Duolingo’s highly inflated numbers; while they are better than they were previously, they are still incredibly misleading, as they count anyone who has done a lesson at any time in the past year. Let’s just say, there are not nearly as many people learning Irish as is claimed.

So Han gives us a first look at Gong Fu Cha (功夫茶), the Chinese art and practice of steeping/serving tea.

home of the Ian Knot, the world's fastest shoelace knot. If you want to lace shoes, tie shoes or learn about shoelaces – this is the place!

The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!

Some goals of this site:

-Make it easy and quick for musicians to find the tools they need
-Focus on good quality software with proper UI
-Promote the great developers that make the effort of supporting Linux
-Showcase the software using modern web technology

I own the originals of these unpublished family photos. Here's a lovely video of Uncle Elstner's photos with Japanese music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvLQWCEJbs As a salesman for Atkins Saw Company, Elstner Hilton traveled to the Far East to sell commercial sawmills in the early years of the 20th century. So I think of him as a reverse Johnny Appleseed, on the vanguard of deforestation that continues to this day. Be that as it may, Elstner was an adventurer when being an adventurer meant something, an avid photographer, a bon vivant, and a dandy. That is an intriguing combination of traits for an expatriate in any era, doubly so for someone living in Asia during the first decades of the last century. Elstner Hilton was my father-in-law Frank Hilton's* brother, which makes him my spouse's uncle. It may take me many months to do justice to this album. However, a journey of a thousand pictures begins with a single uploading. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Elstner Hilton's brother Frank Hilton compiled a scrapbook of photographs, clippings and other ephemera at Stanford University between 1907 and 1911. You can see some of the items in Frank Hilton's scrapbook in my set "Vintage Standford University Scrapbook." ps: I now have reason to believe that the photos of Japan may be stock photos that Uncle Elstner purchased and pasted into his album. There may be some exceptions: the images of his sister, Miriam, and photos of logging operations in the Phillippines.
