Albert Tillman (January 16, 1928 - January 16, 2004) is regarded as the "Father of Scuba Diving Education."

Early Life: Albert Tillman was born in Los Angeles, California in 1928. He was the second son of Peter and Edith Tillman. Peter was the Captain of the MGM Studios police force and much of Albert's childhood was spent on the MGM lot where manyh in his family worked.

In 1938, at the age of ten, Tillman received a pair of goggles from a friend. He took these goggles down to the pier at Redondo Beach, California and jumped in while his parents enjoyed the beach. This first glance under the surface led to a 66 year love affair of the ocean world. He bacame an avid free diver in his teens and twenties and got to experience the waters of the world during the tail end of WWII as a Pharmacist's Mate in the US Coast Guard.

When Albert Returned from the Pacific after the war he entered the University of Southern California as a Political Science Major. He played football for the Trojans and earned money for tuition wrestling on KTLA television. During all this time he was an active free diver and was fortunate to hone is free diving skills by befriending a group of Japenese men that had learned traditional breath holding techniques from their families.

After College: After graduation with a degree in Political Science Tillman went to work for Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation. During this stint he was able to take his love of the ocean to the public. In the early 1950's the Aqua-Lung made it to Los Angeles and Tillman had borrowed one of these early imports from a diving friend. He tried it and immediately saw both a strong future for this invention and a real safety risk for users. While not the first SCUBA unit invented, Tillman had used several homemade units over the years, the Aqua-Lung is the first unit that started mass production. Tillman immediately typed up a memo to his superiors at Los Angeles County that he wanted to undertake a training program.

Los Angeles County Program: Tillman's memo got the ball rolling. The people in charge at the county supported the idea and Bev Morgan of the Los Angeles County Lifeguards came on board. The County sent Tillman and Morgan down to Scripps Institution where Connie Limbaugh had a training program for scientists on the use of the Aqua-Lung. Tillman and Morgan along with several other went through this program that included everything a scientist would need to know, not just the use of the Aqua-Lung. Tillman and Morgan completed this course and returned to Los Angeles to design a program that would be open to the general public. In 1953 Los Angeles County held the first public courses in SCUBA diving and a year later they held the first civilian instructor certification course.

California State College - Los Angeles: After the Los Angeles program got off its feet Tillman accepted a position as a professor at California State College in Los Angeles (now California State University at Los Angeles) in 1956. Tillman would remain on the faculty as a Professor of Recreation and Diving Officer at CSULA until 1994. He would take time off his teaching duties throughout his career to pursue his diving adventures.

National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) In 1959 the only real training agency that trained nationwide was the newly formed YMCA program. Outside of that it was just local programs or mailo order certification. Neal Hess was a writer for Skin Diver Magazine and had such a mail order program. Tillman was also an editor of Skin Diver Magazine at the time and Hess came to him and they worked together to design a program that could be taught nationwide based on the Los Angeles County design. The publishers of Skin Diver Magazine, Jim Auxier and Chuck Blakeslee, gave their financial and editorial backing and the Underwater Society of America gave their official backing. In 1960 NAUI held its first Instructor Certification Course in Houston, Texas during the Underwater Society of America convention. Instructors and advisors of the newly formed NAUI included Tillman, Hess, Jacques Yves Cousteau, Garry Howland, Andy Rechnitzer, and other famous divers of the day. Soon after courses followed across the United States and in to Canada, making NAUI the first internation diver certification agency. Today NAUI courses at all levels are held throughout the world. Tillman was NAUI instructor #000001.

Underwater Photographic Society Tillman worked with actress, stuntwoman and experimental diver Zale Parry to create the Underwater Photographic Society and International Underwater Film Festivals. Tillmand and Parry both believed that in the long run it would be healthier for the sea to promote photography over spear fishing. They had both seen many of the species that were in their favorite dive spots wiped out over the years by over harvesting. Tillman also worked with Parry at this time to create the very first civilian dive traing film.

Underwater Explorers Society Tillman had always dreamed of a destination diving resort. In the mid-1960's this dream came true when a group a busniessmen gave Tillman a blank check to design a destination resort that would cater to divers. Tillman wrote up the proposal and construction soon began in Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. This facility would come to be known as the Underwater Explorers Society (UNEXSO). It was attached to a hotel and offered every amenity a diver and his family could think of at the time. A fleet of boats, a deep pool, saltwater tanks, a science lab, a museum, classrooms, pro shop, a professional photo lab, full staff of instructors and guides, and more were the best in the world at the time. The clientle included royalty, politicians, movie stars, and the best divers and photographers in the world. UNEXSO was hands down the primiere facility for diving in the world at the time. Tillman managed UNEXSO from Los Angeles as much as he could to fulfill his teaching duties but he was onsite as often as possible. In 1969 he sold his partnership in UNEXSO to travel the world looking for new locations for dive resorts. He went to Asia, Europe and Canada but the unlimited funding he had for UNEXSO was no longer available as his backers were tightening their belts so he settled for settling down in the Philippines for a while. The birth of his second child, Thomas Tillman, in 1971 brought him back to Los Angeles and full time teaching at CSULA.

1971-1984 Tillman settled down to full time teaching at the University during this period. His career had easily promoted him to a full professorship and he used this position to design a graduate program in recreation management. He wrote several textbooks to guide his program including the landmark Program Book for Recreation Professionals that became the cornerstone text for programs around the world. During this time he continued his professional association in diving by acting as a Master Instructor Trainer for NAUI, NASDS and the YMCA. He also took a short hiatis from teaching to become the first Executive Director of the Hugh O'Brien Youth Foundation. He also served as editor for several diving magazines as well as contributing editor to several professional trade journals in recreation.

In 1984 Tillman opted for early retirement from CSULA and scaled back to teaching three months a year. Because of his reduced teaching responsibilities he moved his family to Orcas Island in the Pacific Northwest. He built a home in a farm that he had bought years earlier while bidding on Rosario Resort during his hunt for a new location for a dive resort. While the purchase of the resort did not work out he found a 25 acre farm that he fell in love with. Every vacation had been spent there now his family lived there.

In 1994 Tillman's wife of five decades, Ruth Tillman, passed away. He no longer had an obligation to teach at CSULA so he concentrated on writing down the history of the sport of diving, a project that he has worked on part-time with Zale Parry since the early 1970's. Tillman published his memoirs, I Thought I Saw Atlantis, and a more comprehensive book about the hisotry of diving called Scuba America, which he co-authored with Zale Parry.

Tillman had many other accomplishments that are too numerous to go into detail: -He was a world class handball player who participated in tournaments throughout the world. -He was recognized by the YMCA for his contributions to thir recreationprogram world wide. -He had the second largest collection of pop-up books in the world and wrote a collecting book about them. -He was awarded diving's Reaching Out Award, The NOGI, NAUI's Lifetime Achievement Award, and induction into the International Diving Hall of Fame among hundreds of other awards.

In 2004 Tillman passed away from a stroke. He was working at home before the stoke on another book on the history of diving. He was with his second wife, Patricia Tillman, who he had known through the diving industry for years but had become reaquainted to during a recent dive with several of diving's "old timers." His son Thomas carries on his work regarding the hisotry of diving by maintaining Tillman's vast museum of equipment, photographs, books and ephemera of divings past as well as completion of the book on the history of diving with Zale Parry.

Sharindlar is a chaotic-good aligned dwarven diety of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting of Dungeons & Dragons. She is an intermediate deity who resides on the plane of Dwarfhome with the rest of the dwarven pantheon. She is goddess of romantic love, fertility, courtship, healing, mercy, dancing, and the moon. Her portfolio is very similar to the dwarven god Berronar Truesilver. She is possibly allied with Sune, the human goddess of beauty, love, and passion, for that goddess is allied with all deities having to do with beauty in some way. Her portfolio is slightly similar to the human goddess Selúne.

Our Lady of Graces has a reasonably short history of almost 55 years and was founded by the Dominican religious congregation whom originated in South France during the 13th Century. The old parish – originally known as Our Lady of Graces and Blessed Martin de Porres (a Dominican saint) was built in 1952 and established by the Dominican Fathers at the request of His Grace Archbishop Duhig. The land between McEwan Street, Mayfield Road and Broadway Street was once a bare paddock where a marquee was erected to serve as a church for the first three years. It was this large marquee that held the first official Parish Mass (Author Unknown, p12).

During this initial period a group of volunteers worked energetically to erect a timber structure near a creek, which then ran through the property. The structure today is know as the Dominic Centre and was the first permanent Church occupied by Our Lady of Graces Church at Carina. This structure was designed with canvas sides, which would be rolled up when required.

The Dominic Centre was subsequently used as a meeting point for parishioners and its walls have seen many birthday parties, parish social gatherings and similar functions. Up until 1999, the building was hired out to professional teachers for the purpose of conducting ballet, music and similar classes. The building also doubled as an additional classroom for St Martin’s Primary School and was taken over by them in full at the beginning of 1999 (Author Unknown, p12).

The current Parish was then built in 1973 and is under direction of Fr. Joseph Truong, O.P. whom welcomes a large congregation each week with parishioners coming from various ethnic backgrounds such as Italian, Vietnamese, Indian, Spanish, Burmese and Chinese (Fr. Wallace, 2005). Variety in ethnicity is important in a church as it brings people from various cultures together as a community and culturally devises an acute sense of place.

[edit] General Information

A new race has dawned upon earth. Although these creatures have been around for years, they have only begun to serface within socioty recently. Of course I am speaking of the creatures known as "Snufawompaluffaloops".

They aren't very hard to spot within our current society, many of them have decided to take on the deceiving look of an 'emo child'. As you can planley see in the image shown, they have odd looking moustaches and beards, uni brows. elongated thumbs and nostrols, and purple tongues. Other features include being able to cause stimulation with just it's glare at other people, and the status of being half goat, half man which for an unexplained reasons seems to be associated with these creatures.

They do seem almost human, especially within disguise of their tight jeans, large shoes, black hair that covers their face, gloves that hide their thumbs, and tight sweaters that seems to go along with the style. Do not be mistaken though, not all 'emo children' are Snuffies, a large percentage of emo' children' are just poeple that have chosen the style that was brought up by Snuffies, and most of them havn't even heard of these creatures who created the style. Few have decided to revealed to the public their true status, but some brave souls have come forth and admitted it to the public. Some of which include Serj Tankian, singer from the popular band System of a Down, and another singer from a well known band, Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco. They don't appear under this form because plastic surgery works wonders for thousands each year.

You may know a few of them and not even realize that they are Snuffies. Although they have shown signs of a kill like instinct, you should be respective of these creatures, and not condem them for their status that they were given upon birth. Many continue to be born each day, and should be accepted within society, until they make music which seems to be horrible, but their secual glare attracts many to their horrible bands. Little more information on them is known such as their origin, but I shall try to keep you lisetners posted on any little information more I can find.

Forevermore is an up and rising band from Toronto, Canada.

They are a band who fuses thrash, death, and heavy metal together, creating their own unique sound. Neo-classical sounds are also heard, which makes the musicianship technically challenging. Since today's music is normally a heavily watered down version of this, Forevermore is the next band who is going to "carry the torch".

Forevermore was formed by Sam and Colin, who after years of jamming together, found keyboardist, Claudia, and Drummer, Kerry. They are still in the underground of Canada, but will soon emerge, making an appearance which won't be forgotten once the new album is out.

A fictional movie title created by comedian Patton Oswalt as a spin-off of writer/director George Barry's Death Bed: The Bed That Eats. The joke stems from Patton's failure in making screenplays, and the success of one man to successfully overcome the rigors of movie production to see his creation, Death Bed, to the end.

Too many men on the ice is an infraction cited in the sport of Ice Hockey. It exists in all international realms of competition, including, but not limitted to, the National Hockey League (NHL), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), as well as the Olympic Games.

[edit] Penalty Description

Unlike most hockey penalties, too many men on the ice can be called by both a linesman and the referee. The penalty may be called when the game official counts seven active players on the same team with both feet on the ice surface. Typically, this act manifests itself when six skaters and one goalie appear on the ice concurrently. Because the penalty occurs most frequently on a line change, it is common for the number of skaters to exceed seven or eight.

The referee signals the penalty by directing his eyes towards his hands and holding up seven fingers while expressing confusion.

[edit] Too Many Men on the Ice in Popular Culture

While not a common infraction, the penalty has a large following within hockey-centric communities due to several well known instances of its calling. The 1979 Stanley Cup Semi-Finals between the Montreal Canadians and Boston Bruins represents an often-discussed example. Trailing 4-3 late in the game, a too many men on the ice penalty injected new life into the Canadians, allowing them to come from behind and later win the series (the Canadians went on to win the Stanley Cup championship). For many people in Boston hockey circles, this episode is referenced when the team suffers an all too common late-season collapse.

Kinser was later asked to join the band when word got around that he played guitar as well. Shortly after Kinser joined, his best friend Andrew Squires joined the ranks as well. Squires was a guitar player as well. Since Sully also played the bass guitar, he decided to trade in the six string for a four string.

He started playing "drums" at the age of 5, staring of card board boxes and plastic boxes.He played what could be considered the drums on boxes until birthday 1997 (age 7) and his parents decided that the busted boxes were enough. So they bought him a mini electric drum set. From there he decided that drum's were part of his life. He constantly played the instrument and slowly improved. In December 2001 the cherished set suddenly shorted out. Luckly despite the fact his electric set was broken he had a single snare drum to practice on. Using the rim as hi-hats or the ride to keep the beat and playing the snare. The time came again in december 2002 (christmas) that his parents decided that one drum was enough. So on christmas day he recived a full drum set with basic options. Currently the same drumset he still use's made by pacifc drums and has eight Paiste cymbals and one wuhan china.

Introduction

Physarum polycephalum belongs to phylum Amoebozoa, infraphylum Mycetozoa, and class Myxogastrea. P. polycephalum, often referred to as the “many-headed slime,” is a slime mold that inhabits shady, cool, moist areas, such as decaying leaves and logs. This protist may be seen without a microscope, its single cell measuring up to 30 centimeters in diameter. P. polycephalum is typically yellow in color, and eats fungal spores, bacteria, and other microbes. P. polycephalum is one of the easiest eukaryotic microbes to grow in culture, and has been used as a model organism for many studies involving amoeboid movement and cell motility.

Life Cycle

The main vegetative phase of P. polycephalum is the plasmodium (the active, streaming form of slime molds). The plasmodium is comprised of networks of protoplasmic veins, and many nuclei. It is during this stage that the organism searches for food. The plasmodium surrounds its food and secretes enzymes to digest it. If environmental conditions cause the plasmodium to desiccate (dry out) during feeding or migration, Physarum will form a sclerotium (hard, resistant form of slime molds). The sclerotium is basically hardened multinucleated tissue that serves as a dormant stage, protecting Physarum for long periods of time. Once favorable conditions resume, the plasmodium reappears to continue its quest for food. As the food supply runs out, the plasmodium stops feeding and begins its reproductive phase. Stalks of sporangia (reproductive structures that produce spores) form from the plasmodium; it is within these structures that meiosis occurs and spores are formed. Sporangia are usually formed in the open so that the spores they release will be spread by wind currents. Spores can remain dormant for years if need be. However, when environmental conditions are favorable for growth, the spores germinate and release either flagellated or amoeboid swarm cells (motile stage); the swarm cells then fuse together to form a new plasmodium.

Streaming Behavior

The movement of P. polycephalum is termed shuttle streaming. Shuttle streaming is characterized by the rhythmic back-and-forth flow of the protoplasm; the time interval is approximately two minutes. The forces of the streaming vary for each type of microplasmodium. The force in amoeboid microplasmodia is generated by contraction and relaxation of a membranous layer probably consisting of actin (type of filament associated with contraction). The filament layer creates a pressure gradient, over which the protoplasm flows within limits of the cell periphery. The force behind streaming in the dumbbell-shaped microplasmodia is generated by volume changes in both the periphery of the cell and in the invagination system of the cell membrane.

According to the wikipedia, making a page about yourself is forbidden because a neutral perspective cannot be obtained. But when are we not bias, i looked up a name here earlier and found a page with a number of different achievements on it. It however did not name any negative points. It was created by someone who liked this person. Now had that page been written by the person it was about, then it would have been much the same. All i'm getting at is that there is no way to be neutral, bias is there and always will. I agree in the whole wikipedia idea, however i disagree with the want for 'neutral knowledge'. But hey what do i know, i'm biased

• Declined. This subject was previously the subject of a Wikipedia article which was deleted in accordance with the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Society of the Pacifica House. The concerns raised included notability (student organizations that exist at only a single school are often considered non-notable) and verifiability (as a secret society, Pacifica House had few reliable sources describing it). However, if you believe you can overcome these concerns, you are free to try to re-submit a better article about this organization. --Metropolitan90 03:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
