FOR GENERAL RELEASE:
Tyler Dockery, Raleigh Print and Web Designer will be unveiling his new website: http://www.dockerydesign.com March 21, 2009.
As a North Carolina native, Tyler Dockery has been working for years with prestigous raleigh design firms like Generate Design and Knotts & Associates. Following a greater push into web design and email blast materials in 2008, Tyler Dockery hopes that his Raleigh business will really begin to grow once dockerydesign.com goes live.
"The Dockerydesign website will not only be a portfolio site, but we will also be giving free resources in the form of whitepapers, How-to articles, and compiled Mini-Manuals."
A twitter stream has been opened by Tyler to outline the activities undertaken in the lead up to the launch.
"My twitter stream has been giving a steady stream of reaction and questions about the upkeep on some of my projects. I was unaware so many people gravitated towards the daily workings of a designer's life."
The twitter feed can be viewed or followed at: http://twitter.com/tyler_dockery
The Dockery Design team of designers are also discussing a giveaway offer on the new website.
"We need to find out the kind of thing that will be helpful to freelancers and other designers. Something that can be easily useful."

J.K. Rowling's Next Book
With the Harry Potter books coming to an epic close, do we really think that JK Rowling will hang up her writing for good? Highly unlikely. One doesn't have to be psychic, bookaholic, or award-winning web designer to know that she certainly won't stop while she has gathered a head of steam.
Children? Certainly. Wizards? Unlikely.
So what does that leave us with? What manner of creature or magical race has she been subtly edging toward through several books? She's highlighted a special teacher. She's mentioned several potential villains. She's also outlined a few major characters and children who could be involved... Guessed it yet?
Werewolves. In the inclusion of Lupin early on in the series, we see how Rowling allows us to see their human side, to pity them and their terrible condition- how they constantly live in fear and control. We see how they are looked down upon by others in
the wizarding world, and we see the dark side of the werewolves being unable to control themselves when transformed.
In later books, Fenrir Greyback is introduced as a horrible creature- the evil from within that mankind comes to accept and revel in. Greyback is evil (Eveel, as in the Fru-its of the Dev-eel). Enjoying the blood. Enjoying the mayhem. Attacking even when not transformed. The curse travels so heavily through him, that he relishes the attacking of children (aha! you say) in an effort to increase the numbers of werewolves so that they must be noticed, integrated, and respected. Fenrir's curse travels to the point that even when not transformed, some of the wolfish attributes are transferred to his victims.
Bill Weasley gets attacked by Fenrir in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and survives. Although attacked, and hideously scarred for life, we are given the understandng that not all those who become werewolves are deserving of scorn, and that even innocents face the brunt. Bill has a love for his wife (fiancee at the time), and with the exception of a penchant for Bloody rare steak (exactly the way Tyler Dockery of Dockery Design web design likes his), he remains pure and lives to fight alongside (ahem) the good guys in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Lupin and Tonks had been on a crash course for love since Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. In the Deathly Hallows
**** Spoiler ****
They announce the birth of their child. Although no information is given about the final fate of the child, we know that the death of the parents leaves him disconnected and somewhat alone- exactly as Harry himself was found to be at the beginning of his story.
In the Half-Blood Prince and the Deathly Hallows, time is allotted to werewolves, how they are part of the society, and how they want to be integrated. Greyback fights through Hogwarts again with the forces of death eaters and voldemort, and it is mentioned that he was attacking. In one part of the melee, it is even noted that he ran up and bit one of the wounded Hogwarts children.
Do you remember which one? Was it a Lavender or a Patil? HAHAHA! Post your reply and let us know.
Children set apart from the norm, a series of puzzles to overcome within themselves and within society... I believe I smell a new series bubbling in Rowling's cauldron...
