WHO: Albany native and reigning gold medalist Angelo Taylor.
WHAT: Semifinals of the men's 400-meter hurdle event at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
WHEN: 2 p.m. Saturday.
WHERE: London.
ONLINE (LIVE) OR TV (TAPED): To watch qualifying live, go to nbcolympics.com, or stay tuned to NBC later in the day to watch on tape delay.
LONDON — Angelo Taylor's bid to become the first hurdler in history to win three gold medals is very much alive.
The Albany native and former Georgia Tech star cruised in his opening qualifying heat in the men's 400-meter hurdles event Friday morning, winning his race — the fifth out of six total — with a time of 49.29. That automatically qualified Taylor for today's semifinals, which will be run at 2 p.m. and can be seen live online at nbcolympics.com or later that day on tape delay on NBC.
Taylor sent out a tweet after the race, saying, "1 down and 2 to go! God is good!"
Taylor, who finished second at the U.S. Trials last month in Eugene, Ore., is trying to become the first hurdler in Olympic history to win three gold medals in the 400M hurdles. Track & field legend Edwin Moses and Taylor are currently tied with two.
Taylor, 33, won the gold in 2000 in Sydney and in 2008 in Beijing, while Moses won gold during the 1976 and 1984 Olympics, as well as a bronze in 1988. Moses would've had a chance to lay the foundation for history in the 1984 race, but he didn't attend the 1980 Games because of the U.S. boycott of the Olympics that year because they were being held in Moscow.
After his heat, the London Business Recorder caught up with Taylor to ask him about the race and his chase at history.
"Most definitely I can win a third gold medal," said Taylor, who also won Olympic 4x400m relay gold in 2008. "That's why I'm here. I started planning for this as soon as I crossed the line in Beijing.
"There is something very special about the Olympics, and it always seems to bring the best out of me."
Although his time was the 13th-fastest in the field of 47 runners Friday, Taylor's 49.29 was actually the slowest qualifying mark of the six heat winners, which included Amaurys Valle of Cuba (49.19), American Michael Tinsley (49.13), Great Britain's David Greene (48.98), Javier Culson of Puerto Rico (48.33) and Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic (49.24).
Taylor told The Recorder that he crowd cheering him on pushed him Friday.
"I was feeling a tad lethargic, but once I heard the roar of the crowd and saw how packed the stadium was, I got goosebumps and I sure woke up," he said. "I'm not used to normally running in front of so many people that early in the morning, even at other championships, so it was a pleasant surprise."
Tinsley is the runner who barely edged Taylor at the trials after Taylor led the entire way but ended up clipping the ninth hurdle and settling for second.
In Friday's qualifying, Taylor — like he did at the trials — had a big lead for most of the race. He likely could've finished with a faster time, but seeing he was so far ahead, he coasted at the end.

Choosing a Senior Housing Facility or Care Option
A Step-By-Step Matching Process
STEP 1: Evaluate the needs, desires and resources of the prospective senior resident.
NEEDS —Needs encompass what is absolutely necessary for a senior's life to continue in the best possible setting. If you are unsure about the level of care or type of housing needed in your specific case, you might begin by using our Care Interpreter TM tool which returns a matching level of care based on your responses to a questionnaire. You may also refer to the various levels of care described in the Types of Senior Housing & Care article and see where your needs fall in this range between fully independent living and round-the-clock skilled nursing. To view each state licensed level of care and how they can be accessed on New LifeStyles Online click here . Another factor is deciding when a move is necessary or desirable.
DESIRES —Desires are what we are naturally drawn to or what sounds the most appealing for a specific situation. An important first consideration is where you want your needs met. You may want to stay in your current home and have a variety of home services delivered there. Or you may choose to move to a facility, like an Assisted Living Facility or Nursing Home. Then you must decide if the facility should be near the current residence or close to the home of a family member. Do you want a large campus-style facility, or a residential-type home that more closely mimics your current residence? Would you prefer a facility operated by a particular religious or fraternal organization? Is a particular climate important? Etc.
RESOURCES —Resources include the income and other resources (such as savings, investments, or the sale of a residence) that can be devoted to home care or a senior residence. Generally speaking, Medicare covers only a small percentage of those who require intense nursing or home health care services. In most cases, expenses will be covered by the individual, Medi-Cal or by Medicare, if the person qualifies and is unable to pay the full cost. Costs for independent and assisted living facilities are almost always the responsibility on the individual. You may wish to consult an attorney or financial planner prior to making senior housing and care decisions.
STEP 2: Evaluate your housing and care options
This may sound more difficult than it actually is. Did you know you're on the nation's leading senior housing and care site? From our search area , select the area of the country and level of care, type of facility or care option closest to your needs. Read the facility descriptions and check locations. Talk at length to the admissions coordinators at all the facilities that match your criteria. Information on accreditation, online tours, services and amenities are all available online for many facilities, along with links to a wide array of organizations and information sources on topics relating to seni...

You'll ruin your knees!
Hardrock's just around the corner!!! Can't wait to monitor friends there.
Roch Horton: I always thought Hardrock was living your entire life in a single day. You go through every emotional high and low.
""...the truth that someday, you will go for your last run. But not today—today you got to run." - Matt Crownover (after Western States)
That video was fantastic
The day fades into night, and we ascend slowly into the inky blackness. Up and up, until it seems we will step into the stars. Finally, there is no more up. We pick our way across the saddle and down the often poor trail into Little Giant Basin. When we hit the jeep road we are ready to run. Understanding has transformed me. There is pain, but it is meaningless. There is nothing to do but run down the hill. That's what were are doing, so that is what exists, and there is strength to do what needs to be done. It all seems very ordinary, very calm and very peaceful. There is nothing for the mind to do. There is no excitement or upwelling of emotion at the impending finish. Just run. - Peter Bakwin race report after finishing the Rockhard Hardrock, or Double Hardrock in 2006.

Ask the experts: Best trade of the draft's first two days
PFW editors offer their take on the team that made the best trade in the first three rounds of the 2011 NFL draft.
Jaguars QB Gabbert in an 'ideal situation'
Jaguars new QB Blaine Gabbert, who the club traded up six spots in the first round to select, is ready to earn the trust of his teammates and coaching staff as the future of the franchise.
Fantasy outlook: Blaine Gabbert
QB Blaine Gabbert's long-term outlook is promising, as he can make all the throws and looks the part of a smart, strong-armed passer, but it is going to take time before he is a viable fantasy option.
Redskins nab hell-on-wheels Kerrigan
I am about to praise the Redskins for their — wait for it — patience. Trading back to get Ryan Kerrigan was an un-Redskins-like move that should pay off immediately.
Jaguars move up to grab Gabbert
Jaguars GM Gene Smith swings for the fences by trading up to grab Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert, the top-ranked QB on PFW draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki's board.
Jags get Missouri QB Gabbert in trade with Redskins
The Jaguars moved up six spots in the first round of the NFL draft to select Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert.
Smith: Jaguars have 'extra draft class in some ways'
GM Gene Smith pointed out last week that the club "has an extra draft class in some ways," as 12 of the 14 Jaguars who wound up on injured reserve last season were rookies.
Draft Dose: Who needs an inside linebacker?
In the 29th installment of the Draft Dose series, PFW looks at five teams that are in need of an inside linebacker, with Illinois' Martez Wilson a top option.
Weaver's waffling does not mean Del Rio's job is safe past 2011
Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver's comments about his team being a year or two away from competing at the highest level does not make head coach Jack Del Rio's job any more secure.
In Gene, Jaguars fans trust
GM Gene Smith's practical approach has helped build a young, solid foundation in Jacksonville.
Draft countdown: Pick No. 16
PFW looks back at the last 10 players chosen with the 16th pick in the NFL draft, including Troy Polamalu by the Steelers in 2003.
Report: Brunell attempts to buy rings back
Mark Brunell, who originally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last June, has reportedly filed a bankruptcy reorganization plan to buy back some of his football memorabilia.
Jaguars look to get younger on interior of O-line
With C Brad Meester at the age of 34 and OLG Vince Manuwai turning 31 this summer, the Jaguars know they could have two new linemen manning those positions in the not-too-distant future.
AFC team needs
The Raiders will likely have to replace shutdown CB Nnamdi Asomugha, who is a free agent, this offseason, as we identify the top three draft needs of each AFC team.
Jaguars likely to address LB position in draft
Gene Smith has not drafted a linebacker in two years since becoming the Jaguars' general manager, but with veteran free agents Kirk Morrison and Justin Durant not expected back, we hear that is likely to change next month.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed defensive end Andre Branch and running back Jordan Todman on injured reserve and promoted receiver Mike Brown, linebacker Brandon Marshall and tight end Isaiah Stanback from the practice squad. The team waived receiver Quan Cosby and fullback Will Ta'ufo'ou. The Jaguars (2-12) have one roster spot open, presumably to active linebacker Daryl Smith (groin) off IR.|||||||
Branch (groin) and Todman (calf) were inactive for Sunday's game at Miami.

Mountain Snow
Updated: Thursday, January 31 2013, 05:58 PM EST
Snow blankets mountain counties on the Tennessee border, putting highway crews to work after yesterday's storm.
I-26 had only two lanes open early this morning but the highway is now open and traffic is moving with no problems.
As much as two inches fell in the Wolf Laurel area and it's still snowing in the Sam's Gap section of I-26.
The rain changed to snow in the northern half of Madison County and made roads slick through mid-morning.
Highway crews have concentrated on the major roads through the county and are still clearing slush on the back roads.
Chris Deaton, NCDOT District Engineer, "Some of them, especially along the Tennessee line are still fairly snow-covered, but all the main secondary roads, the collector roads, all of those should be open right now, and we're working on the side roads as we speak."
Snow depths reached as much as four inches in Shelton Laurel and communities in the north.
Crews are working to clear snow off the highways there and hoping sunshine will help snowplows do their jobs.

- "I remember until midway through first season I never even knew what shipping was, and then suddenly on the Internet..."
"Suddenly on the Internet you had writing about shipping, and I was like, 'What is this? What is this phenomenon about?'"
"Yeah. I was all like, 'They're shipping love to each other?'" - ―Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino about shipping.
Shipping, derived from an abbreviation of "relationship", is the term given to the fan-created pairing of two or more characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender and/or The Legend of Korra. It has become an important part of Avatar for a large number of fans.
"Ships" are commonly designated with portmanteau couple names, usually derived by combining the names of the characters or words that accurately describe them. Common reasons for fan-created pairings include extensive companionship, obvious "movements" by either character, subtle actions by either character, or even the fact that they look "cute together".
Many Avatar fans are devoted to their preferred "ships" and write fanon to detail and expand upon their theories. Subsequently, some fans conflicted over the validity of each other's supporter "ships", which resulted in an amused reaction from the creators.
"Ships" between characters of the same gender are often called slash (or femslash if between women) from the diagonal slash "/" placed between the names of the two characters; a convention first standardized in the early 1970s by Star Trek fan fiction featuring Kirk/Spock (read: Kirk "slash" Spock) romance.
Popular ships
Avatar: The Last Airbender
- Jet and Katara – known as "Jetara" – This ship arose after it was shown that Katara and Jet had a romantic attraction to each other.[1] However, when Jet tricked Katara into harming innocent people, she abandoned all loyalty to him and remained bitter toward him from that point onward. However, Katara seemed uncomfortable and defensive when questioned about her relationship with him in Ba Sing Se, and apparently considered Jet her ex-boyfriend. Any remaining chance of them becoming a couple was eliminated when Jet died under Lake Laogai after being struck down by Long Feng.[2] Interestingly, Jetara was commonly supported as a prelude to Zutara, as it was claimed to be proof that Katara liked "bad boys". It was also stated on Avatar Extras that Jet was Katara's first kiss, though it was never seen on screen.
- Jin and Zuko – known as "Jinko" – This fairly-popular ship was inspired after Jin, a young girl in Ba Sing Se, displayed an open attraction to Zuko and eventually earned a date with him at Iroh's insistence. Zuko denied that Jin was his girlfriend, but he enjoyed his date more than he wanted anyone to know. Zuko and Jin even shared a kiss before Zuko realized that their relationship would never work out, leaving her somewhat saddened. Zuko later admitted to Iroh that his date was "nice".[3] Jin and Zuko met again, but by this point, Zuko was back with his childhood sweetheart, Mai.[4]
- Aang and Katara – known as "Kataang", fans known as "Kataangers" – One of the two most popular ships, "Kataang" was based on the fact that Katara and Aang became friends at the beginning of the series,[5] and Aang immediately developed an obvious crush on her, which later grew into a true love for her. Katara frequently gave him friendly kisses on the cheek.[6][7][8] Aang's crush on her was made explicit, while Katara was told she will marry a powerful bender and had the appearance of an epiphany when Sokka casually described Aang as a powerful bender.[9] During the battle in the Crystal Catacombs, his earthly attachment to Katara prevented him from triggering the Avatar State. After being shot down by Azula and being revived by Katara's spirit water, Aang looked up at Katara and smiled at her weakly, indicating that he had not actually given her up.[10][11] During the Invasion of the Fire Nation, Aang kissed Katara on the lips before leaving to find and battle Fire Lord Ozai.[12] Despite this, the two were not a couple; Katara even refused Aang's romantic advances during an intermission of the play they were watching on Ember Island.[13] However, they kissed passionately at the end of the series,[14] beginning a romantic relationship. Aang and Katara married in their later lives and had three children, Bumi, Kya, and Tenzin, finally confirming the continuation of their romance. The creators themselves have commented in an interview that they had always favored the idea of a relationship between Aang and Katara, even going as far as giving their romance its own short theme song titled "Kataang" by the Track Team, which is the song that played during the story of Oma and Shu.[15]
- Zuko and Mai – known as "Maiko" – Set up ever since Mai's smile at the thought of seeing Zuko again,[16] Maiko was one of the primary ships of the show. The two were childhood sweethearts,[17] but drifted apart when Zuko began pursuing the Avatar.[5] They did, however, reunite later on.[18] They shared several kisses,[8][19] although it was during their visit to Ember Island that Mai and Zuko had trouble with one another's anger or apathy and split up.[19] Later, however, they were much more affectionate toward each another.[20] During the Invasion of the Fire Nation, Zuko wrote Mai a letter detailing how he had to leave her and join Team Avatar.[12] Mai interpreted this as him breaking up with her and, in a later confrontation, stated he had broken her heart. Despite this, she betrayed Azula to save him, saying, "I love Zuko more than I fear you."[21] Moments before Zuko's coronation, they reaffirmed their relationship with a hug and a kiss.[14] Maiko fans commonly worked together with, or were, Kataangers, trying to show Zutarians that if Zuko liked Mai and Katara liked Aang, Zutara would therefore never happen. The Maiko ship was recently put in danger due to a breakup over Zuko's secret meetings with Ozai.[22]
- Sokka and Suki – known as "'Sukka", fans known as "Sukkans" – Suki and Sokka's relationship began when they first met each other on Kyoshi Island. Sokka displayed a sexist attitude toward the Kyoshi Warriors, however, Suki showed him the error of his ways. She later kissed him on the cheek before he left Kyoshi Island.[23] They affectionately reunited in Full Moon Bay, although there were some awkward moments for them. However, they parted again after sharing a passionate kiss.[24] Suki was captured by Mai, Azula and Ty Lee shortly after,[25] so they did not meet again until Sokka ventured the Boiling Rock to free his father.[26] Later on, the two planned a romantic rendezvous in Sokka's tent; however, it was interrupted when Zuko approached Sokka for advice on dealing with Katara.[27] Their relationship was also highlighted during a play on Ember Island[13] and their time spent on the beach before the arrival of Sozin's Comet. As of the end of the series, they had entered a romantic relationship.[28]
- Aang and Toph – known as "Taang", fans known as "Taangers" – Toph and Aang had a close friendship throughout the series, although as Actor Sokka said, they had a "rocky relationship".[13] Aang had a vision of her in the swamp,[29] but did not meet Toph until he, Katara and Sokka bought tickets to attend the Earth Rumble VI tournament. Toph initially refused to join their group, but agreed when her father expressed his desire to hide and protect her even more.[30] Proponents of the ship liked their nature as opposites.[31] Taang was commonly shipped in tandem with Zutara, as it conveniently solved the problem of Aang's romantic interest in Katara. Once Aang mastered earthbending, there was little plot-related reason for him to interact with Toph and their friendship faded into the background. However, they remained best friends.[32]
- Sokka and Toph – known as "Tokka", fans known as "Tokkans" or, more commonly, "Tokkaneers" – This ship was mostly based on the pair's deep friendship and, later on, Toph's clear crush on Sokka. Explicit hints about her feelings for him began when Toph was bitter about how he ran straight to Suki instead of thanking her for saving his life. Later on, when Toph was drowning, Sokka announced his intention to save her, only for Suki to reach her first. Toph, believing Sokka rescued her, kissed Suki on the cheek.[24] She also clung to his arm while flying on Appa.[11] Their friendship was later emphasized even more when Toph blushed upon Sokka's return from training with Piandao and Sokka gave her a gift of meteorite stone that she wore as a bracelet.[33] Later, they had a tender conversation when she had a falling out with Katara.[32] During the final battle, Sokka and Toph worked together, at first with Suki and later without her, to bring down an entire fleet of Fire Nation airships, the two of them nearly dying in the process.[34] After Suki saved both of their lives, Sokka remained in his relationship with Suki. Tokka was commonly shipped in tandem with Kataang, as it provided romantic partners for all four members of Team Avatar. Many theories have been created to maintain Tokka's possible canonicity in regards to the romantic relationship between Lin Beifong, Toph's daughter, and Tenzin, Sokka's nephew.[35] These were vast and varied, such as having Lin be another man's daughter, or not Toph's biological child, although a minority of Tokkaneers simply "abandoned ship".
- Toph and Zuko – known as "Toko" – Toph was the first member of the group to accept Zuko, encouraging the others to let him join Team Avatar.[36] They had a tender conversation, where Zuko expressed concern about his actions toward his uncle and Toph assured him,[13] based on her conversation with Iroh,[37] that the General had probably already forgiven his nephew. When the team temporarily separated in an attempt to track down Aang, Toph immediately chose to accompany Zuko, claiming that everyone else had gone on a "life-changing field trip with [him]", and it was therefore her turn. She clung to Zuko's arm, causing him to blush.[28] Their friendship made for a convenient fanon ship, as the complete Team Avatar (Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Suki) can be paired off among themselves as Kataang, Sukka, and Toko. It should also be noted that Toph stopped blushing about Sokka around the same time Zuko showed up, and hit his arm constantly, her way of showing affection.[13] Any problems between the two were usually resolved quickly, including the time Zuko burned her feet.[36] They were also Aang's toughest teachers, and both had issues with their parents, causing them to run away. She was the one who advised Zuko about finding a new way to learn firebending while everyone else mocked him.[38] They also both had alter egos: Zuko's being the Blue Spirit[39] and Toph's being the Blind Bandit.[30]
- Sokka and Ty Lee – known as "Ty Lokka" – Ty Lee demonstrated a crush on Sokka at several times. When she first met him, she commented to Mai that he was "kind of cute".[37] When she met him a second time, she happily exclaimed, "It is the Avatar... and friends!" with a special emphasis on Sokka.[40] When Sokka discovered that Ty Lee and Mai were impersonating Kyoshi Warriors, Ty Lee fought Sokka in a fashion that prompted her to say, "It's like we're dancing together!" Sokka pointed out that he was "kind of involved with Suki".[11] The two had little interaction after that.
- Azula and Ty Lee – known as "Tyzula" – This ship gained popularity when Ty Lee and Azula's past as childhood friends was revealed and their interaction began, which many considered to be reminiscent of a possessive, romantic relationship. When a softer side to their friendship was shown, the pairing was quickly shot to a well-known ship, even among people who have never watched Avatar: The Last Airbender.[19] Ty Lee frequently complimented Azula, and many fans felt that Azula had a soft spot for Ty Lee, particularly when the duo stayed at Ember Island with Mai and Zuko, and Azula gives what is arguably the only genuine apology that has been seen from her after hurting Ty Lee's feelings.[19] The fans also state that Ty Lee's betrayal was what sent Azula over the edge, and despite it, this ship remains more popular than any other ship involving either girl in Avatar: The Last Airbender. This ship has long been considered the most popular femslash ship in the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom. Grey DeLisle, who voiced Azula, is known to ship Tyzula, as she once stated that "Everybody knows Azula loves Ty Lee..."[41]
- Yue and Sokka – known as "Yukka" – Sokka developed a strong romantic interest in Princess Yue of the Northern Water Tribe.[42] She came to love him, too, but the two were kept apart due to Yue's engagement to another warrior, Hahn. When the Fire Nation attacked the tribe, Sokka swore to defend Yue, bringing them ever closer.[43] Yue ultimately died when she gave up her life force to save the Moon Spirit Tui, and was thus reincarnated as Tui's successor. Yue kissed Sokka goodbye, promising she would always be with him.[44] Sokka remained upset about Yue's sacrifice, believing he failed to protect her.[24] Although he had since fallen in love with Suki, Sokka's strong love for Yue was made evident by his refusal to kiss Suki under a full moon.[45]
- Katara and Zuko – known as "Zutara", fans known as "Zutarians" – The counterpart to Kataang and the other most popular ship, Zutara cited evidence that was less overt. The ship's first real "moment" took place when Zuko tried to capture Katara.[46] Also, when Azula attacked Iroh during the confrontation at Tu Zin, Katara offered to help Zuko heal his uncle's wound.[37] Zuko and Katara later happened to both be imprisoned in the same catacomb; although at first Katara acted antagonistic to him, Zuko revealed he had also lost his mother to the Fire Nation, which caused her to grow sympathetic toward him, due to her being able to relate to the pain of losing a parent, and offered to heal his scar. After betraying her and joining Azula, Katara vowed never to trust Zuko again.[11] Later on, when Zuko joined Team Avatar[36] and helped Katara find Yon Rha, the man who killed her mother,[27] she was able to forgive and start trusting him. Soon after, they slowly became friends. When it was time for everyone to choose their own destiny, Zuko enlisted Katara's aid in facing Azula.[47] During the Comet-Enhanced Agni Kai, they fought together against Azula, where Zuko actually saved Katara's life by jumping in the way of Azula's lighting bolt that was targeted for her.[34] Their relationship never turned romantic.
The Legend of Korra
- Amon and Korra – known as "Amorra" – The pairing between the antagonist Amon and the protagonist Korra can best be described as a "forbidden love" relationship and is one of the most popular intergenerational ships. The pairing was inspired by the intense and highly dramatic interactions between the two that some interpreted as a love/hate relationship. Others also noted that the pairing shared similarities. Both are from the Water Tribe (Northern and Southern), are extremely powerful benders, and have unique destinies bestowed upon themselves. The shipping has gained quite a following among older fans online.
- Bolin and Eska – known as "Boleska" or "Beska", fans known as "Beskites" – This pairing was anticipated before its airing in Book Two: Spirits, and was supported as both Bolin and Eska showed attraction toward each other. The two seemed to hit it off, but Eska proved to be a bit much for Bolin as she would not let him even hug Korra, and later made him act as a horse and ride her and Desna around through the Southern Water Tribe. Bolin attempted to break off the relationship, but Eska would not let him, and later forced him into marriage. Bolin fled from his now ex-girlfriend and fiancé. Regardless of the relationship's ultimate split up, fans still enjoy shipping the two of them and imagining scenarios in which the two reunite as a couple. This wish became a reality when Bolin confessed that he had always loved her and had merely been overwhelmed and frightened when he had left her at the altar. Eska rekindled their love with a kiss, and they later fought side by side, facing the "end of the world together". However, after Vaatu was defeated, they split up again, though this time on good grounds.[48]
- Bolin and Korra – known as "Borra", fans known as "Borriors" – This ship has a lot of fans that would like to see Korra and Bolin have a non-platonic relationship. Bolin convinced Toza to let Korra pass by after she sneaked into the Pro-bending Arena, and invited her back to the teams' locker room to watch the match. The two soon became friends; he willingly showed her some pro-bending tricks and was quick to accept her on the Fire Ferrets pro-bending team.[49] After Korra helped to rescue Bolin out of the clutches of Amon,[50] Bolin thanked her by giving her a cupcake and a rose. His little gesture of kindness was overshadowed by the large gift basket the council page brought in name of Councilman Tarrlok. Bolin immediately inquired whether or not that "Tarrlok guy" was bothering Korra, as he was willing to have a word with him. When Korra laughed it off, saying that Tarrlok was just "some old guy", Bolin expressed joy upon hearing this, stating, "That sounds better, I like that better."[51] Soon after, Bolin talked to Mako about Korra being his future girlfriend, saying that he and Korra would be perfect for each other. Although Mako was against it, Bolin asked Korra out and took her to Narook's Seaweed Noodlery for their date. They ate dinner, had fun, and took a trip to Republic City's Harmony Tower to gaze out over the city's skyline. Bolin bought Korra a bouquet of flowers the next day, but witnessed her kissing Mako, which reduced him to tears.[52] Bolin's considerate, affectionate, and sweet treatment of Korra has strongly increased fan support for the ship. Though Korra ultimately entered a romantic relationship with Mako, the couple later split up, keeping hopes for Borra alive.
- Bolin and Asami – known as "Bosami", fans known as "Bosamites" – This undeveloped ship is occasionally promoted by Makorra advocates, conveniently pairing Asami with Bolin to solve Asami's love interest in Mako and Bolin's love interest in Korra. Makorra advocates also use it to ship the new Team Avatar as Makorra and Bosami. The two have interacted infrequently, but Bolin enjoyed living in Asami's mansion after the closing of the Pro-bending Arena.[53] He also seems to trust Asami with Pabu, as she was seen holding Pabu when Mako and Bolin are preparing to move out of the arena. In search of Korra, Bolin told Asami about Mako's true love, revealing Korra and Mako's first kiss. Days later, Bolin aided Asami in defeating Hiroshi Sato by launching earth boulders at Sato's mecha tank, saving Asami's life.[54] As the two developed a much stronger relationship throughout the second season, the support for "Bosami" had grown greatly throughout the fandom. The ship was particularly supported by people who were not fond of Mako or Korra's behaviors, as a way to ship the two other members of Team Avatar.
- Korra and Asami – known as "Korrasami", fans known as "Korrasamians" – This ship became immediately popular after Asami's debut, and after Book One, won a fandom poll on tumblr as the most popular ship. Asami showed persistent goodwill toward Korra, which overcame the Avatar's initial hostility, and refused to blame Korra for the difficulties she was having in her relationship with Mako. Korra, in turn, seemed impressed by Asami after she demonstrated her racing skills, to the point of apologizing for misjudging her.[53] It is now one of the biggest femslash ships in the fandom.
- Amon and Lieutenant – known as "Lieumon" – The pairing between Lieutenant and Amon is perhaps one of the most popular manslash pairings that exists in the Avatar universe. The pairing was inspired by the close professional relationship they have, as well as the Lieutenant's strong admiration for Amon. Additionally, upon the revelation that the Equalist leader was in fact a bloodbender, the Lieutenant appeared heartbroken, yelling that he had dedicated his life to Amon[55] - this moment, coupled with the death of Amon, has led to an explosion of fan interest in this ship online.
- Tenzin and Lin Beifong – known as "Linzin" or "Tenlin" – As the son of the Avatar and the daughter of one of his good friends, they have known each other since childhood. They were once romantically involved, but began to drift apart due to "different goals in life"; one of the different goals was later confirmed to be that Tenzin wanted children whereas Lin did not. Pema told Korra that she could not watch Tenzin spend his life with "the wrong woman".[52] Tenzin broke up with Lin after Pema confessed her love for him. However, there is still friction between the chief and the airbender. Korra even suggested that Lin has still not gotten over what happened. Lin agreed to Tenzin's request to be lenient with Korra when she destroyed public property in Republic City, and promised to act with more decorum during the Pro-bending Championship Tournament when he asked her.[35] Furthermore, Lin was willing to help out her old boyfriend by protecting his family while he went to an urgent council meeting, and even put her life and bending abilities on the line in order to buy Tenzin and his family time from the pursuing Equalists.[55]
- Mako and Korra – known as "Makorra", fans known as "Makorrians" – This wildly popular ship was inspired well before the series debuted. When Korra and Mako first encountered,[49] Makorra hints were present, causing the shipping to peak. The ship went viral once a promotional trailer showed a shot of Korra kissing Mako. Although their relationship is still fairly undeveloped, the ship supporters continue to grow in numbers based on the various teasings of the couple. Ikki and Jinora explicitly stated the fact that Korra has a crush on Mako, the two involuntarily fell asleep on each other at Republic City Park, and when the two posed as a couple to infiltrate Amon's rally to save Bolin, Korra was seen wearing Mako's beloved scarf.[50] In fact, Mako's scarf has been a center argument for many fans, claiming it is similar to the "red string of fate", an idea in Eastern mythology that the gods might tie two lover's fates together with a red string so that they will meet and never separate. Furthermore, Korra is revealed to be jealous of Asami and Mako's budding relationship.[51] When Korra admitted her feelings to Mako, he initially shot her down, but after witnessing her going on a date with Bolin, Mako expressed feelings of jealousy. When Korra later kissed him by surprise, he willingly kissed her back, complicating his relationship with Asami and his brother.[52] Mako continued having an interest in Korra's welfare, as he was the first to hug her after she faced off against some Equalists and he was the one who attempted to carry Korra out of the Equalist factory when he could have carried Lin or Tenzin as well, but left them for his brother.[53] After Korra was retrieved by Naga after Tarrlok imprisoned her, he ordered the others to give her some space, picking her up and carrying her to Oogi. He proceeded to brush her hair out of her face tenderly, telling her she was safe.[56] When Korra was recovering from her imprisonment, Mako was at her bedside and even held her hand. He even comforted Korra when she was upset about Air Temple Island being taken over by Equalists.[55] After Korra had lost her bending, Mako came to her and told her how he felt, telling Korra that he loved her. After Korra went into the Avatar State, Korra told him that she loved him as well. Mako and Korra subsequently kissed for the second time, this time mutually.[54] Throughout Book Two, the two seemed to have a struggling relationship at certain points, but hit it off at others. However, once the pairing split due to the conflicted interests of Mako and Korra, many of the shippers abandoned the pairing.[57] However, this was nowhere near the majority of the ship's fanbase, and many people imagine scenarios in which the two would reunite. The couple instead was unable to resolve their tension, and they solidified their break-up after Harmonic Convergence, though promised they would always love each other.[48]
- Asami and Mako – known as "Masami", fans known as "Masamites" – This ship began when Asami accidentally hit Mako with her moped, introducing the two. Upon laying eyes on her, Mako was smitten by Asami's beauty. To make up for the accident, Asami asked him on a date to Kwong's Cuisine, at which Asami held Mako's hand. At Tarrlok's gala, the two went as a couple and Asami was seen consistently holding Mako's arm. Later on, the two went on a carriage ride through Republic City Park where they expressed their emotions, eventually leading to the two cuddling.[51] Mako was willing to threaten his friendship with Korra when she insisted on going after Asami's father, immediately choosing Asami over Korra. He also cares deeply for Asami's safety and is protective over her, venturing down a possibly dangerous road in her mansion to uncover information for her.[53] However, Asami expressed hurt and confusion upon Bolin's revelation of Mako and Korra's kiss.[56] Before the team separated to defeat the Equalists, Mako and Asami broke up, but she reaffirmed her trust in him.[58] After Mako broke up with Korra, Asami and Mako went out on a boat ride around Republic City. Asami learned of Mako's break-up with Korra, and shortly thereafter kissed him.[59] A short amount of time later, they had reunited, much to Bolin's surprise, as Mako had only been broken up with Korra for a week. However, they continued a relationship, until Mako was arrested, though he blamed Varrick for his problems. Mako declared that he would never do anything to hurt Asami as he was arrested by the police.[60]
- Pema and Tenzin – known as "Pemzin" – Pema fell in love with Tenzin while he was still in a relationship with Lin Beifong, but was afraid Tenzin would spend his life with the wrong woman. She confessed her love to him, and he broke up with Lin as their relationship was already drifting apart.[52] During The Legend of Korra, Pema and Tenzin are happily married with three kids, with their fourth child being born during the series. Fans have expressed shock over the sixteen year age difference between them, but that has not stopped people from enjoying and celebrating their relationship.
- Tahno and Korra – known as "Tahnorra", fans known as "Tahnorrians" or "Tahnorrites" – This ship began when a promo was released revealing Tahno and Korra standing in close quarters. During this interaction, Korra challenged him to a fight, calling him "pretty boy", before the Wolfbats' waterbender uttered: "Go for it." This first interaction occurred while the Avatar was on a date with Bolin, when Korra saw that Tahno was staring at them. Tahno walked over to her and offered her pro-bending "private lessons". This single scene resulted in a constantly expanding fandom.[52] Korra and Tahno also interacted when Tahno was at the police headquarters after he lost his bending. He wanted Korra to get Amon on his behalf, to which she nodded in acceptance. Their conversation ended with Tahno saying, "See you around, Uh-vatar," with a smile.[53]
"Shipping wars"
Fans often had a "fan preferred couple" which they attempted to find reasons to substantiate as well as reasons to disregard other possible matches with these characters. Some fans even designated a pairing which they defended fervently. Fanon was written extensively; forums were filled with "shipping" theories and rumors. This often resulted in conflicts between conflicting "shippings", the most well-known example being between "Kataang" and "Zutara".
Supporters on both sides became increasingly antagonistic to the other "ship" and theories extended beyond how their "ship" was correct to how the other "ship" was incorrect. Often, shippers would cite how one member of the opposing ship was or should be romantically attracted to a different person. Typically Kataangers would cite Zuko and Mai's relationship, while Zutarians began shipping Toph with Aang to deal with the problem of the hero being unattached.
Because the canonical "ships" remained unrevealed throughout most of the show, fans constantly debated their preferred "ships". At one point, the creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, said they were inclined to "Kataang", but did not say outright that it was correct, noting "Zutara" as an interesting concept. They also expressed surprise about the concept of "shipping".
The "shipping wars" had a generally negative impact on the Avatar fan community. Although some of the canonical "ships" have now been revealed, there is still an antagonistic feeling among a small number of Avatar fans. With the release of The Legend of Korra, the "shipping wars" now concern the conflicting ships of this series, particularly "Masami", "Makorra", and "Borra".
- Shipping War I – This shipping war took place primarily during Avatar: The Last Airbender, but continued after its end. It is mainly revolved around the Kataang, Zutara, and Maiko ships.
- Shipping War II – This shipping war takes place during the ongoing series The Legend of Korra and mainly revolves around the Makorra, Masami, Korrasami, Irohsami and Borra ships.

This happened to a co-worker about 15 years ago--the heating element went crazy and melted dishware, maybe even the plastic tub of the appliance. The smoke damage was the problem--bad smell!
We no longer leave appliances running when we are not home.
on Jul 18, 2012 at 10:50 am
What brand of dishwasher?
on Jul 18, 2012 at 11:07 am
This same thing happened to my next door neighbor about fouryears ago. Her husband and son left early Sunday morning to play golf at Palo Alto Muni and she was awakened by the first alarm at 7:30. She went into her kitchen with smoke spewing out of the dishwasher. Here's the Weekly article. Web Link
I now make sure that I am nearby when I run the dishwasher.
on Jul 18, 2012 at 11:17 am
It sounds like this woman was the homeowner, but I have a separate question for the legal folks-
If the same situation happened to a renter, would the renter be liable for the damage to the unit? In other words, is it considered negligence to leave an apartment with electrical appliances running?
on Jul 18, 2012 at 11:42 am
Great Job PAFD!!!
on Jul 18, 2012 at 12:18 pm
The renter is not liable (I'm a former landlord). Unless you have specific requirements in the lease, there's no liability. Of course, who would sign a lease that says you can't leave the house or apartment when you're running the dishwasher?
This is why you have insurance. Plus the renter should have renter's insurance - which I required proof as part of the lease agreement.
on Jul 18, 2012 at 12:36 pm
I can't imagine a renter would be liable for running a dishwasher, I would think the owner would be liable for maintaining the dishwasher (and other appliances) in safe working order.
on Jul 18, 2012 at 1:58 pm
our bosch dishwasher is about 12 years old. it works fine but how would I find out when to replace it? any ideas?
on Jul 18, 2012 at 2:24 pm
I can't believe that anyone would leave the house with a dishwasher or washing machine running! Dryer, MAYBE, but something that has water in it that can leak onto the floor if something goes wrong? No way.
on Jul 18, 2012 at 10:47 pm
Most current dishwashers and washing machines shut off if they detect a water leak. As a result, I would feel safe leaving with those running. (My dishwasher also has not heating element for the drying cycle.) But I can't believe anyone would leave their house with a dryer running. There a quite a few dryer fires cause by dryer vents being clogged with lint and catching fire. That is more of a threat than water damage.
on Jul 19, 2012 at 12:23 am
Stretch - it's funny - we're the total opposite. We'll leave sometimes w/washer running, but never dryer. Maybe we've just read about too many dryer fires? We have a moderately pricey coffeemaker catch fire when plugged in but turned off. It was scary - if we'd left on time, we wouldn't have been home when it happened.
I'm so glad that this reported incident wasn't much worse.
on Jul 19, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Never leave a dishwasher, washer, dryer, floor heater, electric blanket, iron, stove, oven on or running if nobody is home. I have been on fires all cause by these being left running or on.
on Jul 19, 2012 at 11:34 pm
Thank you, Firefighter. We need to follow your advice.
What about electric fans & ceiling fans?
on Jul 21, 2012 at 2:24 am
Shutting everything off is ridiculous, what about laptops with batteries that catch fire, or virtually anything.
The same would follow if you were going to sleep as well.
Things can catch fire.
One day I smelled smoke ( I have a senstive sense of smell ) and I was walking around trying to figure out what it was or if I was hallucinating.
This is the oddest thing, turns out that I had a glass full of liquid that the sun was shining through and just happened to be focused on a piece of wood attached to the garage. It was black and smoldering and might or might not have actually caught fire, but weird stuff happens that cannot be avoided - one has to keep on living.

About classic text
Classic text is the name for the older text engine in Flash Professional. The classic text engine is still available in Flash Professional CS5 and later. Classic text may be preferable for certain types of content, such as for mobile devices, where SWF file size must be kept to a minimum. However, in some cases, such as those requiring fine control over text layout, you will want to use the new TLF text. For information about TLF text, see Working with Text Layout Framework (TLF) text.
You specify whether an individual text object on the Stage uses the Classic or TLF text engine by selecting the text object and then choosing the desired text engine in the Text Property inspector.
You can include classic text in your Flash Professional applications in a variety of ways. You can create text fields containing static text, which you create when you author the document. You can also create dynamic text fields, which display updating text, such as stock quotes or news headlines, and input text fields, which allow users to enter text for forms or surveys.
Flash Professional provides many ways to work with text. For example, you can orient text horizontally or vertically; set attributes such as font, size, style, color, and line spacing; check spelling; transform text by rotating, skewing, or flipping; link text; make text selectable; animate text; control font substitution; and use a font as part of a shared library. Flash Professional documents can use Type 1 PostScript® fonts, TrueType®, and bitmap fonts (Macintosh only).
You can preserve rich text formatting in text fields, using HTML tags and attributes. When you use HTML text for the content of a dynamic or input text field, the text can flow around an image, such as a SWF or JPEG file or a movie clip. See Using HTML-formatted text in Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Adobe Flash.
Like movie clip instances, text field instances are ActionScript® objects that have properties and methods. By giving a text field an instance name, you can manipulate it with ActionScript. However, you cannot write ActionScript code inside a text instance, because text instances don't have Timelines.
You can use ActionScript to format input and dynamic text, and to create scrolling text fields. ActionScript has events for dynamic and input text fields that you can capture and use to trigger scripts. For information on using ActionScript to control text, see Working with Text and Strings in Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Adobe Flash.
About classic text fields
You can create three types of classic text fields: static, dynamic, and input.
Static text fields display text that doesn't change characters dynamically.
Dynamic text fields display dynamically updating text, such as stock quotes or weather reports.
Input text fields allow users to enter text in forms or surveys.
You can create horizontal text (with a left-to-right flow) or static vertical text (with either a right-to-left or left-to-right flow). Note that the use of horizontal bidirectional languages (Hebrew, Arabic etc.) in classic text fields is not supported.
When creating static text, you can place text on a single line that expands as you type, or in a fixed-width field (for horizontal text) or fixed-height field (for vertical text) that expands and wraps words automatically. When creating dynamic or input text, you can place text on a single line, or create a text field with a fixed width and height.Note: When working with Static Vertical Text, the width field is disabled in the Properties Inspector. Modifying the height automatically adjusts the width value. Similarly, when working with Static Horizontal Text, the height field is disabled in the Properties Inspector. Modifying the width automatically adjusts the height value.All classic text fields support Unicode.
Flash Professional displays a handle on the corner of each text field to identify the type of text field:
For static horizontal text that extends, a round handle appears at the upper-right corner of the text field.
For static horizontal text that has a fixed width, a square handle appears at the upper-right corner of the text field.
For static vertical text that has right-to-left flow and extends, a round handle appears at the lower-left corner of the text field.
For static vertical text that has right-to-left flow and a fixed height, a square handle appears at the lower-left corner of the text field.
For static vertical text that has left-to-right flow and extends, a round handle appears at the lower-right corner of the text field.
For static vertical text that has left-to-right flow and a fixed height, a square handle appears at the lower-right corner of the text field.
For dynamic or input text fields that extend, a round handle appears at the lower-right corner of the text field.
For dynamic or input text that has a defined height and width, a square handle appears at the lower-right corner of the text field.
For dynamic scrollable classic text fields, the round or square handle becomes solid black instead of hollow.
Shift-double-click the handle of dynamic and input text fields to create text fields that don't expand when you enter text on the Stage. This allows you to create a text field of a fixed size and fill it with more text than it can display to create scrolling text.
After you use the Text tool to create a text field, use the Property inspector to specify the type of text field, and to set values that control how the text field and its contents appear in the SWF file.
Create and edit text fields
Text is horizontal by default. However, static text can also be aligned vertically.
You can use most common word-processing techniques to edit text in Flash Professional. Use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands to move text in a Flash Professional file as well as between Flash Professional and other applications.
Change the size of a text field
When text is selected, a blue bounding box lets you resize the text field by dragging one of its handles. Static text fields have four handles that let you resize the text field horizontally. Dynamic text fields have eight handles that let you resize the text field vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
Switch a text field between fixed-width (or fixed-height) and extending
Select characters in a text field
- Select the Text tool .
- Do one of the following:
Drag to select characters.
Double-click to select a word.
Click to specify the beginning of the selection, and Shift-click to specify the end of the selection.
Press Control+A (Windows) or Command+A (Macintosh) to select all the text in the field.
Setting classic text attributes
About classic text attributes
You can set the font and paragraph attributes of text. Font attributes include font family, point size, style, color, letter spacing, autokerning, and character position. Paragraph attributes include alignment, margins, indents, and line spacing.
For static text, font outlines are exported in a published SWF file. For horizontal static text, you can use device fonts instead of exporting font outlines.
For dynamic or input text, Flash Professional stores the names of the fonts, and Flash Player locates identical or similar fonts on the user's system. You can also embed font outlines in dynamic or input text fields. Embedding font outlines can increase file size, but it ensures that users have the correct font information.
When creating new text, Flash Professional uses the text attributes that are currently set in the Property inspector. When you select existing text, use the Property inspector to change font or paragraph attributes, and to direct Flash Professional to use device fonts rather than embedding font outline information.
Set letter spacing, kerning, and character position
Letter spacing inserts a uniform amount of space between characters. Use letter spacing to adjust the spacing of selected characters or entire blocks of text.
Kerning controls the spacing between pairs of characters. Many fonts have built-in kerning information. For example, A and V are often closer together than A and D. Flash Professional provides horizontal tracking and kerning (for horizontal text) and vertical tracking and kerning (for vertical text).
For vertical text, you can disable kerning by default in Flash Preferences. If you do this and leave the kerning option selected in the Property inspector, kerning is applied to horizontal text only.
- Using the Text tool , select one or more sentences, phrases, or text fields on the Stage.
- In the Property inspector (Window >
Properties), set the following options:
To specify letter spacing (tracking and kerning), enter a value in the Letter Spacing field.
To use a font's built-in kerning information, select Auto-Kern.
To specify superscript or subscript character position, click the Toggle Superscript or Toggle Subscript button. The default position is Normal. Normal places text on the baseline, Superscript places text above the baseline (horizontal text) or to the right of the baseline (vertical text), and Subscript places text below the baseline (horizontal text) or to the left of the baseline (vertical text).
Set alignment, margins, indents, and line spacing
Alignment determines the position of each line of text in a paragraph relative to edges of the text field. Horizontal text is aligned relative to the left and right edges of the text field, and vertical text is aligned relative to the top and bottom edges of the text field. Text can be aligned to one edge of the text field, centered in the text field, or aligned to both edges of the text field (full justification).
Margins determine the amount of space between the border of a text field and its text. Indents determine the distance between the margin of a paragraph and the beginning of the first line.
Line spacing determines the distance between adjacent lines in a paragraph. For vertical text, line spacing adjusts the space between vertical columns.
Work with horizontal text
- Using the Text tool , select one or more text fields on the Stage.
- In the Property inspector (Window > Properties),
set the following options:
To set alignment, click Left, Center, Right, or Full Justification.
To set the left or right margin, enter values in the Margins text fields in the Paragraph section of the Property inspector.
To specify indents, enter a value in the Indentation text field in the Paragraph section of the Property inspector.
To specify line spacing, enter a value in the Line Spacing text field in the Paragraph section of the Property inspector.
Work with vertical text
- Using the Text tool , select one or more text fields on the Stage.
- In the Property inspector (Window > Properties),
set the following options:
To set alignment, click Top, Center, Bottom, or Full Justification.
To set the top or bottom margin, enter values in the Margins fields in the Paragraph section of the Property inspector.
To specify indents, enter a value in the Indentation text field in the Paragraph section of the Property inspector.
To specify line spacing, enter a value in the Line Spacing text field in the Paragraph section of the Property inspector.
Classic text anti-aliasing
Anti-aliasing lets you smooth the edges of onscreen text. The anti-aliasing options are particularly effective for rendering smaller font sizes. When anti-aliasing is enabled, all text in the current selection is affected. Anti-aliasing operates with text of all point sizes in the same way.
Anti-aliasing is supported for static, dynamic, and input text if the user has Flash® Player 7 or later. It is supported only for static text if the user has an earlier version of Flash Player.
When using small text in a Flash Professional document, keep in mind the following guidelines:
Sans serif text, such as Helvetica or Arial, appears clearer at small sizes than serif text.
Some type styles, such as bold and italic, can make text less legible at small sizes.
In some cases, text appears somewhat smaller than text of the same point size in other applications.
The Flash Professional text rendering engine provides clear, high-quality text rendering in Flash Professional (FLA) documents and published SWF files. The Anti-alias for Readability setting makes text more legible, particularly at small font sizes. Custom anti-aliasing lets you specify the thickness and sharpness of fonts used in individual text fields.
High quality anti-aliasing is automatically enabled whenever you publish to Flash Player 8 or later and Anti-Alias For Readability or Custom Anti-Alias is selected. Anti-Alias For Readability may cause a slight delay when you load Flash Professional SWF files, especially if you are using four or five different character sets in the first frame of a Flash Professional document. High-quality anti-aliasing may also increase Flash Player's memory usage. Using four or five fonts, for example, can increase memory usage by approximately 4 MB.
When the publish setting of your file is Adobe® Flash® Player 8 or later, and Anti-Alias For Readability or Custom Anti-Alias is your chosen anti-aliasing option, high-quality anti-aliasing applies to the following:
Untransformed text that is scaled or rotated
Note: Although the text can be scaled or rotated, it must remain flat (that is, untransformed). For example, if you skew the fonts or otherwise manipulate the font shapes, Anti-Alias for Readability is automatically disabled.All font families (including bold, italic, and so on)
Display sizes of up to 255 points
Exporting to most non-Flash Professional file formats (GIF or JPEG)
High-quality anti-aliasing is disabled under the following conditions:
Flash Player 7 or earlier is the selected version of Flash Player.
An anti-aliasing option other than Anti-Alias for Readability or Custom Anti-Alias is selected.
Text is skewed or flipped.
The FLA file is exported to a PNG file.
Work with text anti-aliasing
Flash Professional provides improved font rasterization that lets you specify the anti-aliasing properties for fonts. The improved anti-aliasing capabilities are available only for SWF files published for Flash Player 8 or later. If you are publishing files for earlier versions of Flash Player, you can only use the Anti-Alias For Animation feature.
Choose an anti-aliasing option for selected text
- Use Device Fonts
- Specifies that the SWF file use the fonts installed on
the local computer to display the fonts. Typically, device fonts
are legible at most font sizes. Although this option doesn't increase
the size of the SWF file, it forces you to rely on the fonts installed
on the user's computer for font display. When using device fonts,
choose only commonly installed font families.
You cannot use device fonts with rotated or vertical classic text. If you want to use rotated or vertical classic text, select another anti-alias mode and embed the fonts used by the text field.
- Bitmap Text (No Anti-Alias)
- Turns off anti-aliasing and provides no text smoothing. The text is displayed using sharp edges, and the resulting SWF file size is increased because the font outlines are embedded in the file. Bitmap text is sharp at the exported size, but scales poorly.
- Anti-Alias For Animation
- Creates a smoother animation by ignoring alignment and kerning information. This option creates a larger SWF file because font outlines are embedded. For legibility, use 10-point or larger type when specifying this option.
- Anti-Alias For Readability
- Uses the Flash text rendering engine to improve the legibility of fonts, particularly at small sizes. This option creates a larger SWF file because font outlines are embedded. To use this option, you must publish to Flash Player 8 or later. (Do not use this option if you intend to animate text; instead, use Anti-Alias For Animation.)
- Custom Anti-Alias
- Lets you modify the font's properties. Use Sharpness to specify the smoothness of the transition between the text edges and the background. Use Thickness to specify how thick the font anti-aliasing transition appears. (Larger values cause the characters to look thicker.) Specifying Custom Anti-Alias creates a larger SWF file because font outlines are embedded. To use this option, you must publish to Flash Player 8 or later.
Upgrade content for Flash 8 or later anti-aliasing
- Open a FLA file created for use with Flash Player 7 or earlier.
- In the Publish Settings dialog box (File > Publish Settings), select Flash Player 8 or Flash Player 9 from the Version pop‑up menu.
- Select the text field to apply the Anti-Alias For Readability or Custom Anti-Alias option to.
- In the Property inspector, select Anti-Alias For Readability or Custom Anti-Alias from the Font Rendering Method pop‑up menu.
Make classic text selectable
Static horizontal text or dynamic text can be selectable by users viewing your Flash Professional application. (Input text is selectable by default.) After selecting text, the user can copy, cut, and then paste the text into a separate document.
- Using the Text tool , select the horizontal text that you want to make selectable.
- In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), select Static Text or Dynamic Text.
- Click Selectable .
Transforming text
You can create text effects by transforming text fields. For example, you can rotate, skew, flip, and scale text fields. (When you scale a text field as an object, the Property inspector does not reflect increases or decreases in point size.) The text in a transformed text field can still be edited, although severe transformations may make it difficult to read.
You can also animate text by using Timeline effects. For example, you can make text bounce, fade in or out, or explode.
Break Classic text apart
You can break apart Classic text to place each character in a separate text field. Then you can quickly distribute the text fields to separate layers and animate each field. However, you cannot break apart text in scrollable classic text fields.
You can also convert the text to its component lines and fills to reshape, erase, and otherwise manipulate it as a graphic. As with any other shape, you can individually group these converted characters, or change them to symbols and animate them. After you convert text to graphic lines and fills, you can no longer edit the text.
Create a text hyperlink
- Select
text or a text field:
Use the Text tool to select text in a text field.
To link all the text in a text field, use the Selection tool to select a text field.
- In the Link text field in the Options section of the Property inspector (Window > Properties), enter the URL to which you want to link the text field.
Create scrolling classic text
Make dynamic or input text fields scrollable by using menu commands or the text field handle. This does not add a scrollbar to the text field, but instead allows the user to scroll the text with the arrow keys (for text fields also set to Selectable) or the mouse wheel. The user must first click the text field to give it focus.
Add an ActionScript 3.0 UIScrollbar component to a text field to make it scroll. For more information, see "Use the UIScrollBar component" in Using ActionScript 3.0 Components.
In ActionScript 3.0, use the scrollH and scrollV properties of the TextField class.
Add an ActionScript 2.0 ScrollBar component to a text field to make it scroll. For more information, see "UIScrollBar Component" in the ActionScript 2.0 Components Language Reference.
In ActionScript 2.0, use the TextField object's scroll and maxscroll properties to control vertical scrolling and the hscroll and maxhscroll properties to control horizontal scrolling in a text field. See Example: Creating scrolling text in Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Adobe Flash.
Make dynamic text scrollable
Shift-double-click the lower-right handle on the dynamic text field. The handle will turn from an unfilled square (non-scrollable) to a filled square (scrollable).
Using the Selection tool , select the dynamic text field and then select Text > Scrollable.
Select the dynamic text field with the Selection tool. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the dynamic text field and select Scrollable from the context menu.
Masking device font text
You can use a movie clip to mask device font text in another movie clip. (You cannot mask device fonts by using a mask layer on the Stage.) For this movie clip mask to function, the user must have Flash Player 6 (220.127.116.11) or later.
When you use a movie clip to mask device font text, Flash Professional uses the rectangular bounding box of the mask as the masking shape. That is, if you create a nonrectangular movie clip mask for device font text in the Flash Professional authoring environment, the mask that appears in the SWF file takes the shape of the rectangular bounding box of the mask, not the shape of the mask itself.
For more information on using a movie clip as a mask, see Using movie clips as masks in Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Adobe Flash.
For a sample of device font masking, see the Flash Samples web page at www.adobe.com/go/learn_fl_samples. Download and decompress the Samples zip file and navigate to the Masking\DeviceFontMasking folder to access the sample.
Unicode text encoding in SWF applications
Flash Player 7 and later support Unicode text encoding for SWF files in Flash Player format. This support greatly enhances your ability to use multilanguage text in your SWF files, such as two languages within a single text field. Any user with Flash Player 7 or later can view multilanguage text in a Flash Player 7 or later application, regardless of the language used by the operating system running the player.

I thought this pic turned out really neat, we were playing with a bubble maker grill that we got at Sam's and I took this picture. It was such a nice day out in Ely Iowa. When I uploaded it I saw the face in one of the bubbles. I am sure it is a reflection but it is really cool.

DescriptionThere's an oversized boulder about 75 yards directly south from Fall Wall (or about 30 yards directly south from the Clam Shell Boulder) in Central Vedauwoo. It towers above its neighbors and is shaped roughly like a pyramid, so its easy to identify. This is the Vedavoodoo Boulder. It has 2 climbable faces (N and W) and has one route on each face, Vedavoodoo (5.12a/b) on the north face and Whistling Jupiter (5.12a?) on the west face. These are not bouldering routes, but stiff, challenging sport routes. Each has a 2 anchor rap station at the top. Getting TherePark in the Fall Wall parking lot and hike towards Fall Wall. When you are in full sight of the Clam Shell Boulder, it is probably right behind you. 1 Total Routes
Featured Route For Vedavoodoo Boulder
Situated in front of Fall Wall is this amorphic shaped boulder with an incredible sport route up its west face...Stick clip the eye-bolt and figure out how to do the wild, bouldery moves over those way cool knobs (crux). Weave your way past ring bolts and nipple-pinch up interesting terrain to these big horns and the anchor (11b/c and a wee bit sporty). Don't blow the last move!!!

Personal Digital Augmentation
My goal is to design a maker-built device (a Personal Digital Augmentation (PDA) device) that would replace an iPhone — something that would induce geek envy in an iPhone user, and eliminate the need to own one. It would, of course, use open source hardware and software, and makers would customize the hardware and software to suit their needs. Like the RepRap project, there would be a public reference design, with detailed build instructions. There would be enough standardization of the interfaces so that we could have a community repository of software and hardware components that are compatible with the platform. The more people build one of these, the more benefits there are.
I want this to be an "elite" device, with capabilities that obviously go beyond mass market handheld devices like the iPod nano and iPhone. The cooler it is, the more motivation there is to build one. So that's a requirement — what design elements are needed to meet this requirement?
What are the weaknesses of an iPhone?
- Text entry is painful.
- You need to pull it out of your pocket, turn it on, and navigate to the right application before you can use it.
- The multitouch interface is beautiful and addictive, but it consumes all of your visual attention to use it, more so than any other interface I've used. These facts might be related. But I want a device that can quickly respond to my needs with very little distraction or cognitive load. I'd like to be able to perform other tasks while using it. A very simple example is that with an iPod nano, you can easily advance to the next song without distracting yourself from another task, like driving or exercising, but you can't do this with an iphone.
Here are some problems with simply cloning an iPhone:
- Lameness: a maker-built iPhone clone will be thicker and clunkier than a real iPhone, and will suffer by comparison.
- Fitness for purpose: see iphone weaknesses, above.
Here are some alternatives to the iphone:
- A Steve Mann style wearable computer, with an eyetap and a septambic keyer as i/o devices.
- A "sixth sense" device: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/pattie_maes_demos_the_sixth_sense.html
This avoids the "gargoyle" effect, or the socially repellent miasma that is emanated by crudely built head-mounted displays.
Alas, there are inevitably tradeoffs to be made. A possible out is to design a PDA platform that supports a range of input and output devices.
The project needs a more unique, catchier project name. I've considered "OH/M" (One Handheld per Maker), after the OLPC, except I don't know yet if this device will ultimate be a "handheld".
I want to base it on existing work as much as possible. In particular, if someone has already designed an open source "PDA" that meets all my requirements, I'll just use this design.
Here are some of the functions that the platform should support:
- listening to music
- listening to (and maybe recording) FM radio
- still camera
- geotag your photos using GPS
- video camera
- audio recording / voice notes / voice recognition
- remote control
- augmented reality
- the eyetap and sixth sense videos have some nice examples
- games
- social networking (in the broadest possible sense)
- eg, ad hoc mesh networking with other PDAs at a maker gathering
- eg, augmented reality multiplayer gaming with other PDA users
- email, web surfing
- telephone
- note taking
- calendar, watch, stopwatch, alerts
- usb drive / flash drive / bulk data storage and retrieval
How does text entry work?
- Could use a multi-touch display, like iPhone. It's slow, error prone (tried typing a password?) and you can't touch-type.
- Blackberry style thumb keyboard.
- Palm style Graffiti input, using stylus
- Chord keyboard. Potentially the fastest input method (stenotype is faster than qwerty), and allows touch typing. Also very "elite" and hackish.
- spiffchorder: http://chorder.cs.vassar.edu/spiffchorder/forside
- wearcam septambic keyer: http://wearcam.org/septambi/
- Data glove: can you enter text with a data glove? Efficiently? But a data glove is potentially useful for augmented reality, and of course VR.
- too expensive: http://www.cyberglovesystems.com/products/hardware/cyberglove.php
- flexion sensor for building a dataglove: http://infusionsystems.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/140
- sixth sense style projected keyboard + video analysis of hand gestures.
Even if we don't have a fully realized chord keyboard, there needs to be a way to provide input to your PDA using buttons, which doesn't consume visual attention. (I guess voice recognition via the microphone could also work.)
How does the display work?
- handheld LCD display, like iPhone
- head mounted display
- with integrated camera, like eyetap: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyetap
This is a brilliant design for hands-free operation and augmented reality applications. Also, very elite and hackish, you can't buy an eyetap commercially.
- with integrated camera, like eyetap: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyetap
- sixth sense wearable projector
I guess I'm currently attracted to the eyetap / chord keyboard combination. (The eyetap has the best augmented reality integration, although I worry about the gargoyle effect.) But I have no experience using such a system, so I don't know in detail the reasons why such a system may suck. (I do know what I don't like about the iPhone.) Steve Mann teaches a course at U of T on how to build an eyetap + keyer.
The PDA must be position and orientation aware, in order to fully support augmented reality.
- need GPS
- need a compass and orientation sensors
a Wearable PDA design
It has 3 parts.
1. The 'head' part consists of an eyetap (head mounted display and video camera combo), plus an earphone/microphone. plus a compass, so that the PDA knows the compass direction in which you are currently looking (for augmented reality). Plus a Zigbee or BlueTooth link to the 'base' part.
2. The 'hand' part consists of a septambic keyer, plus additional functionality that provides 'mouse' functionality, which could be a thumb trackball, or a 3D position sensor (relative to the base) so you move your hand around in space like a WiiMote to provide mouse movements. Plus radio link to the base. Plus maybe infrared for controlling a TV.
3. The 'base' part has an ARM computer, the clock, the mass storage (flash or a mini hard drive), the cell phone and wifi and gps and fm radios. Plus the PAN radio for connecting the head and hand components (bluetooth or zigbee).
I don't want the head and hand parts to be physically wired to the base. I want to be able to quickly remove them and shove them in a coat pocket, in social situations. Hence the PAN.
According to the web, a ZigBee web cam was observed to be painfully slow, due to the low bit rate of ZigBee (max 250 kbps). So I guess we'll need blue tooth for the head mounted video. I'll focus on a BlueTooth based PAN.
The benefits of using a PAN for connecting components is that the whole system is easily expandable with a range of i/o devices, to suit different use cases and personal tastes. And with BlueTooth, there's lots of stuff available off-the-shelf:
- bluetooth cameras from kodak and samsung
- foldable keyboards, mice
- head sets, of course

States Attorney's Office District of Connecticut |
May 13, 2011 |
BRIDGEPORT JURY FINDS MIDDLEFIELD David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, today announced that a federal jury in Bridgeport has found KERRY MARSHALL, 52, of Main Street, Middlefield, guilty of 20 counts of bank fraud and one count of fraud using an access device. The trial began on Monday, May 9, and the jury returned the verdicts this morning. According to the evidence presented during the trial, between July 2005 and June 2006, MARSHALL obtained blank credit card checks, also known as "convenience checks," without the account holders' knowledge. According to court testimony, all of the account holders lived in the vicinity of MARSHALL's former residences in West Haven and New Haven. MARSHALL then made the checks out to himself or to Truth Be Told Publications, a business associated with MARSHALL, forged the account holders' signatures and then deposited the fraudulent checks into various bank accounts he held. MARSHALL then withdrew the funds in cash, or used them to make debit card purchases. United States District Judge Janet C. Hall has scheduled sentencing for August 24, 2011, at which time MARSHALL faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years on each of the bank fraud counts, and a maximum term of imprisonment of 15 years on the access device fraud count. This case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys David J. Sheldon and Christopher W. Schmeisser. | |

It would needle him, each time he would catch a reminder on TV. It would gnaw at him, each time someone mentioned the loss or Game 6 or the way the Bruins' season ended.
And for Bergeron, that was a bit different than usual. The Bruins center – who spent the last three days in Calgary participating in Team Canada orientation camp – had to back off, given the injuries that limited him in the final games of the Stanley Cup series against the Blackhawks. He had to rest. He had to rehab. He had to manage a program that would get him back on the ice by the start of training camp, a goal that he seems ready to accomplish.
