I remember when I started the message board for FreeHand users to keep their favorite program running. It was a lot of work and I felt so discouraged after Adobe made their formal announcement that FreeHand wouldn't be updated. But FreeHand users taught me how strong they really are and unwilling to give up.
Adobe should listen to it's FreeHand fans. These group of users really care and are dedicated to saving the one tool that makes their jobs easier, better and efficient. I don't think I have ever seen a more passionate group than FreeHand users! Of course, there has never been a program as big that has been killed off the way FreeHand has.
Please keep up the great work you do...I think a lot of good will come out of it. Adobe has been trying hard to ignore the FreeHand users but eventually they will listen, especially after the letter campaign from last month.
I'm sure no one anticipated that much rejection from FreeHand users. The amount of voices speaking up for FreeHand shows how Adobe was wrong in thinking it could just kill this program. I think they will eventually change their minds. I'm sure Adobe now realizes that many of FreeHand's users are willing to pay for an upgrade. I know I am willing...as I want FreeHand to keep working!

FreeFreeHand.org is a website that wants to save FreeHand. Check out the interview below with the person responsible for the website!When Adobe announced that they were going to discontinue development with FreeHand, a lot of us FreeHand users felt frustration. Adobe waited too long to let us know their intentions and we felt they ignored our pleas. I had a petition for FreeHand before that but decided there was no use to continue it as Adobe wasn't going to budge.
But here's how important FreeHand is... A group of users got together and formed freefreehand.org, a website devoted to FreeHand users that examines ways to possibly rescue FreeHand. Some people at Adobe are probably thinking "Here we go again" or "can't FreeHand users just give up and try Illustrator"? The following interview explains why some FreeHand fans do not want to give up the fight and why Illustrator just won't work for them.
Thank you to Bez for taking the time to answer my questions and good luck with the website. Now onto the interview...
1. What is it about FreeHand that users stick with their favorite program?
As anyone who's become proficient with FreeHand, before Illustrator, will tell you, it's by far the more enjoyable of the two to work with. Fast, intuitive, and logically organized. The tools, key commands, and functions you use most feel like they are a microsecond away. After you've used it for awhile, and you're all warmed up and into a project, you almost get the sensation of flying! Key features like paste inside and the ability to select, align, and distribute objects or points without the program "getting in the way" make using FreeHand just about the most un-frustrating experience imaginable. Little things you get used to, like the ability to grab a vector line and bend it from anywhere between two points, make it painful to leave behind when the same things are missing in Illustrator. I could go on and on but the basic point is that FreeHand just does things right. There are advanced features in Illustrator that FreeHand lacks, but who cares when you can't get the basics right first? Oh, and I also love FreeHand's contextual Properties>Object palette. Just amazing90% of what you need in the same spot! A big time saver.
2. Tell me more about your website freefreehand.org.
It wasn't until Macromedia was bought by Adobe that I took any interest at all in what was going on behind the scenes. Before that, it was enough that all this great software was out there and Adobe had real competition. I never liked Illustrator, even before I discovered FreeHand, so I was pretty concerned when I saw the writing on the wall. When that writing on the wall became fact, I got furious. How could they do that? I thought. So I went into the Adobe forums and started poking around. That's when I found a long thread, started by Jack PNG, asking if FreeHand users would pay for an upgrade if Adobe would keep supporting it. I jumped in, preaching to the choir while simultaneously being ignored, like everyone else, by Adobe. After awhile I realized the futility.
I couldn't figure out why Adobe wasn't pulling everyone's comments off their forum: some of them were pretty aggressive and ranting. One time I even called them "a pack of Nazis" and the comment wasn't pulled down. That's when I realized, they'd let us rant to our heart's content just as long as we stayed in this closed box. I began thinking about starting an organization that could take the passion and turn it into action using money raised by donation. About that same time, I noticed a comment by Thü Hürlimann of Switzerland suggesting exactly this idea, so I wrote him an email and offered to team up. All for the better I think as we've accomplished far more as a team than we ever would have by ourselves. A couple months after we launched the site, in September 2009, we added Mark Gelotte of Arizona, USA to the team. He's been extremely helpful in keeping the ball rolling.
Long story short, the three of us have been pleased and encouraged by membership growth, contributions to some of our ongoing activist projects, and lots and lots of conversation in the Q&A forum. The members are what make it all worthwhile. We'll ask for money later, but honestly if we could pull this off without needing to do that, we would.
3. Have you tried using Illustrator CS4 and how do you think it compares to FreeHand?
Yes, I have.
During the initial Forced Migration (what I refer to as Adobe's way of handling the FreeHand users it inherited), I tried CS3 just like they told me to. I had the same reaction I had the first time I tried using Illustrator back in 1995: blech, this is no fun at all. If anything it had gotten worse, as all but the fastest machine suffers horribly from the bloat. Saving a file actually brings up a progress bar on my dual 2.5Ghz G5 tower! That's just not right; add it to the pain category. Sure, CS4 added multi-paging and better gradient controls, among a few other odd details, but it misses the point. It's the overall speed and elegance of FreeHand, not a preponderance of features, that make FreeHand what it is. It's just what you need and not too much more.
Last Fall, I decided to take a quarter of school, with one of my classes being Illustrator CS4. In fact, I completed all the projects and got an A. Now I use Illustrator every day at a new job, so it's a good thing I learned how to use it well. I will say the whole experience does get better as you get used to the quirks, but it still elicits a "stupid Illustrator!" from me at least once an hour. Compared to FreeHand, it just seems backwards. The dizzying array of palettes do nothing to make my work go faster or make it easier to find what I'm looking for. Quite the contrary. I still get annoyed with text a lot: not nearly as elegant as FreeHand. Everything takes longer, more clicks and tools, even once you're fully accustomed to the way it all works. It's just exasperating whenever I stop to think "oh yeah, this is progress all right!"
Also, I tried using the CS4 "Like FreeHand" workspace but I'm unimpressed. Among other things, the color palettes in Illustrator bug me, so I have to customize them to work more like FreeHand.
4. What are some of the options that are available for saving FreeHand?
Good question. That's exactly what we've been working on from the beginning. No one is making this easy for us, so we do research in our spare time, consult with lawyers willing to talk to us, and brainstorm different strategies. Right now we are in the planning stages of several campaigns we feel might prove very effective. For example, a PR campaign targeting business journals and other media channels in that category. According to the firm we plan to hire, our story is real and compelling. If we can force Adobe's hand to step forward and publicly explain why they think it's okay to fly in the face of thousands of professionals who rely on FreeHand to make a living, then we'll have true progress. Bad publicity is one of the most effective weapons in our arsenal.
Another upcoming action is the coordinated activism of our 4500+ membership. They are ready to act and plenty angry. They want an outlet to voice their frustrations to Adobe and we will give them that.
A final option is to take legal action. Based on the FTC action forcing Adobe to give FreeHand back to Altsys back in 1994, we believe there's precedent to work in our favor. According to our legal discussions, that's a long and difficult road so we see it as a last resort. However, depending on how things go, it could also be played into part of the PR strategy. We'll see.

Before any of this though, we need to send our warning shot across Adobe's bow. We're working on that right now, and while I don't think they will suddenly say "Oh, is that what you wanted? Why didn't you just say so? Of course we'll update and support FreeHand!" we have to give them the chance to respond before launching into the next phase. If they go for the carrot before the stick, well that's just fine with us. This is all set to happen very soon, by the way.
All of this overlooks the question: what are we asking for? And maybe that's what you really mean by the question. We see three options:
1. Update FreeHand for the latest hardware and OS along with bug fixes. Adobe pledges ongoing support.
2. Assuming any patent issues can be worked through, Adobe offers to sell FreeHand to another software company
3. Release FreeHand to open source.
This last option may actually be the best solution, if they can be made to see the silver lining of what this offers. We do think there's a silver lining for Adobe, but initially it could be hard to convince them. In our research, weve outlined the advantages of an Adobe sponsored Open Source FreeHand and they are quite compelling. Also, it's possible they could be compensated by substantial funds we raiseFree FreeHand could ultimately prove to have deep pockets. Who knows?
5. What features of FreeHand do you think need to be addressed first if it is updated?
Our Q&A forum has a great collection of ideas, although I don't claim they're as well organized as they could be. We have one post titled "If Freehand development started again what new features would you like to see?" that makes a number of good points. The main ones are already on our home page though. Things like better PDF support and fixes for exported PDF-related bugs and limitations; and perhaps most important of all, the ability to run natively on Intel Macs using Snow Leopard. (It still works, but only using Rosetta and an Adobe registration file fix. It's stable but there have been a number of reported bugs.) Also, a lot of people mention wanting better color control, but I've never had any trouble getting what I want out of FreeHand.
6. Do you think Adobe could make FreeHand users happy by adding more features into Illustrator that they miss?
No. Illustrator doesn't work right. It isn't about cramming more convoluted features into an already bloated mess. If anything I'd rather see FreeHand lose a couple features, take on a couple new ones from Illustrator that are actually useful, but mostly keep it the lean, fast, workhorse we love it for. Unfortunately this doesn't play well into the idea of selling upgrades or full suites: new features is what constitutes the marketing and selling of each new version. How would Adobe make money if they one day decided, for any given application, "Okay, this one is completely finished. It does everything it needs to and will never need updates or new features." That's not the business they're in. Too bad for us who just want good tools to make a living.
7. What is the thing that bugs you most about Illustrator in comparison to FreeHand?
Well, I've mentioned a couple already. I'm not going to sound original here because my complaints mostly resemble those of others, but here they are:
1. Masking. It stinks. Paste Inside is a way better method and it's highly irritating to have to mask things, which are then useless in terms of aligning to other objects (Illustrator uses the masked object rather than the masking shape).
2. Text. I'm still getting used to Illustrator's two different kinds, plus a number of things it doesn't do that FreeHand does. If you use FreeHand you know what I'm talking about.
3. Lots and LOTS of little things. As one member said, "please don't make me explain, it hurts..." It's the cumulative effect of countless annoying little road blocks that add up to one giant, frustrating experience.
Our members have put a lot of great points out there, some of the best perhaps on these two pages (along with some heated debate as a result of some Illustrator defenders):
By the way, it's been put forward by several people that InDesign is the better option for FreeHand users. I've used this too, to some extent, and while the PDF creation is fantastic, the rest leaves me unimpressed. It's okay mind you, in the way PageMaker was okay (yes, I know ID is better than PageMaker), but it still leaves me asking: how is this an improvement over FreeHand? Only for book design maybe.
8. How many people have signed up for your website and how many more are needed?
Just over 4,700 right now. We've sent out just 3 newsletters to the membership list and we need to do more. It seems like continued activity and communications keeps the growth rate steady, whereas growth seems to slow when we're less active about keeping the spirit alive. I think however that this is a pretty good number we're looking at, although I wouldn't mind doubling or tripling that.
There's no way to know how many we'll need, it depends on how long the fight lasts, and how much we need financially to do it. As it is, the current number represents more than enough for our next planned PR campaign, even if we only see $2 apiece donated as an average.
There are a lot of unknowns with our endeavor. We just keep forging ahead, evolving as we go.
9. Do you think Adobe has done enough in the transition from FreeHand to Illustrator?
Well, that's a pretty subjective thing. I guess I'd have to say yes if Illustrator represented a desirable direction for a FreeHand user to move in. But it's also a really big step backwards as many have found out. For the last 4 years, the vast majority of us have earnestly attempted transitioning to Illustrator but the experience has not worked out. So in that sense there's no way Adobe can ever do enoughno amount of migration guides or special upgrade offers can compensate.
10. What features in Illustrator do you think that FreeHand users like the best?
There are some good type tools that FreeHand doesn't have, but in most ways type is more difficult. The 3D Extrude and Bevel effect can prove useful, since FreeHand's equivalent is a bit lacking. Mesh gradients are cool, on those rare occasions you might need it. Some of the layer effects are also nice, in that you can make a semi-transparent gradient screen or multiply. With FreeHand, I've always resorted to doing certain things in Photoshop and dropping them in, but it's nice to have these kinds of options right in the program. Illustrator also has a lot of nice brushes you won't find in FreeHand, but I rarely need them in the work I do. Then there's all that Live Trace and Live Paint stuff. I like it, but no amount of fiddling with the controls produces anything other than a recognizable effect, at least when working with photos. It can be very useful for creating original illustrations though. I plan to spend more time working with these features. Im probably safe in saying that Illustrator and FreeHand can work well side-by-side for those features that the other lacks.
11. Has Adobe responded to any of the complaints that FreeHand is not being updated? Are they aware of your website?
They have not in any way acknowledged us. But we think they're quite aware of our existence and intentions. They'd have to be living under rocks not to know about us. Its likely they're staying quiet and waiting to see what happens. We have to prove to them how serious we are, and what kind of resolve we can put into this.
One insight into the mind of Adobe that we gleaned was a result of FreeHand's initial incompatibility with Snow Leopard. Apple released Snow Leopard on August 28th, 2009 (according to Wikipedia). As Intel Mac-owners upgraded to the new platform, and new computer purchases added to the number of Snow Leopard users, the FreeHand "failure to launch" issue became more widespread. FreeHand users pressed Adobe for answers and found none. Irritation with their slow acknowledgement of the issue, and lack of action to rectify it, grew into intensifying anger as is evidenced in a number of Adobe forum posts. Adobe did eventually release an official fix, but not until September 25thalmost a whole month after the Snow Leopard release! Remember also they had plenty of time before a Snow Leopard release to work through these issues, as they undoubtably did it with their other programsit's not like Apple foists a new OS on the world without giving software companies a chance to test it. We think this might have been Adobe's way of testing the FreeHand market to see what would happen by ignoring its users in this dire situation. Its that or they're truly negligent. Either way our community sees this treatment as unforgivable.
It was the collective voice of the FreeHand community that affected Adobe management enough to warrant the Snow Leopard fix. That is tremendously encouraging of the power of our numbers and Adobe should be watching our movement carefully. They simply represent what is happening all over the world these days with big business and corporate institutions who are threatened by competition and feel they must squash or buy out any threat to their monopoly. Ironically, weve even noticed members in our Q&A forums and those in Adobes own forums feeling that they are becoming the New Microsoft.
12. What features in FreeHand do you think Adobe overlooked the most?
Like I said before, it's more about a large quantity of little things plus a handful of key things we depend on; this even includes something as seemingly simple as the selection tool. Any one thing may not seem like a big deal, but the user experience between the two applications is entirely different. One is very pleasant. One often raises the blood pressure. I'll let you figure out which is which!
One small example I can give is from just the other day. I wanted to make a graphic suggesting rays of the sun, not pointy like a star but rather fanning out bigger from the center. So I made the first shape, aggravated at the outset by Illustrator's inability to distribute the anchor points, and started repeating it. Only I couldn't seem to duplicate and rotate from the same spot at the axis, easily and consistently working my way around. Every time I duplicated the shape (pasting in front instead of cloning), I lost the point of rotation I'd set. I eventually pulled it off, but not without some hair pulling and grumbling (I was at my new job where I don't have FreeHand installedyet). Maybe there's a "right way" to do this in Illustrator, but why should I have to go digging into a Help topic, or take a time-consuming tutorial??? It should be simple. Later I tried the same exact task in FreeHandnever having taken a tutorial or used Help, mind youand executed this as you'd expect in literally less than a minute. Beautiful! It makes the creation of digital artworks a blissful activity.
13. How does FreeHand work on the latest Mac platform? Have you tried it using the latest Mac OS?
Yes and its not bad at all. I just got a new iMac, it has the Intel i7 chip and runs Snow Leopard. I migrated from my old G4 laptop so FreeHand came right over. I tried opening FreeHand just to see, and as expected it bounced a couple times and quit. So I performed the official Adobe fix, which took about two minutes, and now it works fine. Rosetta installed almost automatically, and although it's not a desirable thing it doesn't seem to be affecting me...yet.
I would like to add that FreeHand on an Intel Mac running in Rosetta does not play nice with my favorite haxies (Unsanity's great OS customization utilities). I'm having some challenges resolving some apparent conflicts, but I guess that's to be expected when you're a beta user. Regardless, whether you're talking about Apple or Adobe it all boils down to the same thing: give the people what they want!
14. What role do you think FreeHand could have in the marketplace if it is updated?
There's so much to love about FreeHand, I can't imagine it not enjoying continued popularity if it was upgraded and rereleased, whatever form that might take. A lot of people, myself included, think of FreeHand as the ideal creative tool for digital exploration and design. It's fast. It's easy. It does what you want without a lot of fuss. You can quickly execute a variety of ideas just to see them, then edit and refine from there. And it's fun to use! You can take your creations to a fully complete stage, ready for transfer to the printer or to bring into other environments, like Flash, Photoshop and, yes, even Illustrator. Call it what you will, this doesn't describe Illustrator or InDesign. They entirely miss what makes designing stuff a fluid process for a lot of people.
15. How many users do you estimate are still actively using FreeHand?
I've wondered about this a lot. We've talked about it in the Q&A space a fair amount and I don't know the answer; I'm not sure anyone does. But I do think our current membership is only a fraction of that number. As we gain visibility and prove our effectiveness, I hope they'll continue discovering us and join the cause. It's probably literally thousands who are out there thinking they are the only ones faithfully holding onto their favorite program, FreeHand, as they struggle with Adobe's forced migration to Illustrator.
In an email I received from James Von Ehr (one of the original creators of FreeHand when it was developed at Altsys) he referred to "hundreds of thousands of satisfied FreeHand customers". Certainly its now way down from it's peak usage, but if anybody really knows it would be the higher ups at Adobe. And they're not about to tell us.
Best of luck to FreeHand fans who are interested in saving their favorite program. Please register at freefreehand.org if you support this movement.

I have used Illustrator and I find it a valuable tool. But one thing: I still use FreeHand!
Why? The number one answer for me is the speed of the program. When I want to create a quick, easy design, FreeHand only takes seconds to open. Illustrator takes forever to open, it's so bloated that the tasks take longer to do. I do have an older Mac, so maybe it's just me saying this, but I think Illustrator takes way too long to launch.
I do have a lot of tools that I like in Illustrator but I must admit, I am so accustomed to FreeHand's shortcuts and ease of use, I go back to it often. PDF's are a definite plus in Illustrator. That is the one thing that FreeHand needs to improve upon if that ever comes about.
I am happy for the FreeHand community that it is still supporting their favorite program. Although it would be a tough fight, I know that FreeHand users are passionate about their program. Good luck to all the FreeHand users on this latest fight to save FreeHand.

I'm enjoying Illustrator CS3 and I can't wait to try CS4. I understand a lot of features that FreeHand users love are in the new program (the biggest thing being multiple artboards).
I know making the transition from FreeHand to Illustrator is not easy for many users. Try to think of Illustrator CS4 as the next upgrade to FreeHand. It's a great vector tool like FreeHand but the interface is updated and the tools are slightly different from what your used to. It's so much better than just using FreeHand and never upgrading.
I'm glad I gave Illustrator a chance. I think it's a great program with a lot of features that I find useful, espcially the improved PDF support.
The following is an interview with the Senior Product Manager of Illustrator, Terry Hemphill. I wanted to post the interview especially for those FreeHand users who are hanging onto hope that FreeHand would be updated. Terry made clear that FreeHand users should move on, it won't be updated. Here's the interview...enjoy!
1. Does Adobe plan to keep FreeHand as an offering in their list of software for sale?
FreeHand is still offered as a product for those customers who have embedded workflows and have the need for additional seats of Freehand or who need more time to transition to another product. Adobe will continue to evaluate the demand for FreeHand before bringing the product to end-of-life. It's not our intention to force people into another solution.
2. Are there new web features in Illustrator CS4?
The most significant are those related to multiple artboards, where a series of web assets can quickly be exported in various web formats.
More forward looking is the support for the new FXG format. FXG is a graphics file format based on a subset of MXML, the XML-based programming language used by the Flex framework. Designers can create graphics using Illustrator CS4, Photoshop CS4, and Fireworks CS4 and save them into FXG format. The FXG file can then be used by tools such as Thermo to develop rich internet applications and experiences that run in a web browser using the Flash Player or on the desktop as an AIR application. FXG was created to allow designers and developers to collaborate more efficiently using an XML-based file format.
3. What are some reasons that FreeHand users should switch to Illustrator CS4 instead of looking elsewhere?
The biggest for me? Illustrator's integration with other Adobe tools and presence as the industry standard application for designing vector content.
4. Is there any speed difference of CS3 and CS4? I know the program can take a while to open. I imagine because of the code, it's difficult to speed up the process of opening it.
While we didn't get to complete some planned performance enhancements, there were significant improvements made to launch time.
5. Does CS4 have the same import capabilities, i.e., can it import from FH9 to FHMX?
In terms of FreeHand file import, the support is the same, will the additional capability of FreeHand files that contain multiple pages now importing properly as Multiple artboards. In CS3, those FreeHand files would import, but as multiple crop areas. Not as directly useful as multiple artboards.
6. I remember someone bringing up that maybe there should be a plug-in for FreeHand users who miss certain features. Did Adobe give any thought to that idea?
Given the number of plug-ins available for Illustrator, I'm sure there are some that address certain features. But there was no concerted effort on Adobe part to create such a plug in.
7. Do you feel the artboards solve the problem of multiple pages? Why not just call them pages? Just curious of the idea behind them.
Illustrator is not a page layout program, and it doesnt need to be. InDesign already offers all the functionality needed for page layout. So we wanted to deliver a solution in Illustrator that met the needs of the Illustrator customer as well as offer new ways of working. Multiple artboards offers the ability to create documents that contain multiple pages or two sides of a single page in a one file, and it also offers a way to create a single document that contains multiple assets of any size. You can keep all the art you are creating for a job or client in the same file, making it so much easier to use common symbols, colors, fonts and track changes.
8. What new features (if any) have been added for Flash users?
There were no major new features for Flash users.
9. What has been done to continue the transition from FreeHand to Illustrator?
Not sure if you're looking for product features here or more along the marketing/sales side. Side features of interest for FreeHand users are listed below, I'll focus on the other.
Two items:
Special upgrade pricing for owners of FreeHand who want to move to Illustrator, and we're updating the FreeHand migration guide for CS4, which should be available for download on line early next year.
10. What features in the new Illustrator do you think that FreeHand
users will like the best?
1. Multiple artboards
2. New gradient controls, transparency in gradients, elliptical gradients.
3. Improvements to clipping masks.
4. The Blob Brush tool.
5. Appearance panel enhancements.
11. Is Adobe still receiving complaints that FreeHand is not being updated? I know it's still being brought up on the Adobe forums. Any thoughts on this?
Freehand is not going to be revived; time to move on, really. The Illustrator team is making a determined effort to bring the best of FreeHand into Illustrator, which should be evident from some of the new features in CS4.
12. There are probably some features that FreeHand users just might not know exist in Illustrator. For example, when I was looking to find and replace certain objects, I had no idea you can select similar items in Illustrator. Are there other features that might be hidden to FreeHand users?
There are many that Illustrator users aren't aware of...not just FreeHand users, so maybe I'll answer this from my own personal leanings since I've been working with the Illustrator team the past four years:
1. The Appearance panel. With the new editing capabilities in CS4, it's one of my essential panels.
2. Live Effects. I'm always finding very practical new ways to create complex objects. Just recently, the ability to solve a technical issue for a FreeHand users with the Convert to Shape effect was an eye-opener for me.
3. Live Color. Still one of my favorite features.
13. Are there features from FreeHand that you still might implement in future versions?
Official line -- we don't comment on future development plans. But yes, we're always going looking at adding to core functionality, and that includes capabilities from FreeHand that make sense for all of our customers.
14. What improvements would you still like to make in Illustrator
For me, I always appreciate performance improvements, and enhancements to core tools. Sometimes it's the little things that really mean the most, like the enhancements to path editing that was part of CS3.
15. With mobile devices becoming more popular and technology changes a lot, what role do you see for Illustrator in the future?
Obviously, vector graphics are a bit part of creating content and interfacesfor mobile devices. And the evolving FXG format will be important for designing interactive experiences across all type of devices.
Thank you Terry for the interview.
I hope all of the FreeHand users looking to upgrade will give Illustrator CS4 a chance. It sounds like it would be the best choice for an upgrade. I know CS3 was great and I look forward to working with CS4 as well.

Personally, I had a good experience with the transition, although there were features that I missed. One of the first projects I did in CS3 was a menu. It was front and back, so it was frustrating that there were no multiple pages. Another troubling thing was that Illustrator took forever to open in comparison to FreeHand. Once it was open it was fine, but it's best to take a break while the program takes it's time opening!
Some features that I love: the ease of opening PDF's. FreeHand lacked so much in this area. It's nice to see a program actually open a PDF and keep everything in tact.
Some things that took getting used to: paste inside versus creating a mask. Both programs do this well, just a different way of doing it. I'm used to Illustrator's way now, so it's not so bad.
The text on a path is great, with the exception of typing on the top and bottom of a circle. FreeHand did this so easily. I had to search for directions on how to do this in Illustrator...it takes a lot longer to do in Illustrator.
I am interested in learning what you liked about CS3. I'm also looking forward to the new release of Illustrator, hoping that some of our other features make it into the program.

A Guntersville man kicked out of the local farmers market last year is now watching some of his lawsuit he filed against the city get kicked out of court.
When the case was filed in circuit court, the city opted to deal with the federal issues in federal court. The federal court ruled in the city's favor, so the remaining issues will be handled locally in circuit court.
A federal judge has dismissed claims by Vesta Noles, and the case was sent back to Marshall County and filed in the court on Monday.
Noles sued the city after he was kicked out of the local farmers' market last summer when market officials could not verify the produce he was selling was locally grown.
Since that time, the city has decided to allow produce for resale provided resellers clearly post that their goods are not locally grown and pay a full business license fee as well as pay sales tax.
Since the market recently opened, Noles has not been back.
"He was one of my favorite customers, I mean, my favorite people to trade with, and I hate it that he's not here no more," said customer Gisela Jordan.

Smoked Sausages
Polish people have long been known for the preparation of a wide variety of tasty, moderately spiced, and pleasantly garlicky sausages. Anyone who remembers the genuine, old-world taste of Polish sausages, knows that Polish sausages produced by the large name-brand meat companies are only vaguely reminiscent of the real thing. Now, through Polana's Internet catalog, you can purchase many varieties of Polish sausages made by the finest sausage-makers in Chicago, according to old Polish recipes. Yes, we have the sausages you have been longing for!

CBS Laments 'Dangerous' Vaccine/Autism Link Talk -- But Used to Spread It
On CBS's Sunday Morning, 'Fast Draw' cartoonist Josh Landis commented on people believing in false claims despite evidence to the contrary and warned: "Some false beliefs might make you laugh but others are dangerous, like the belief, debunked again this month, that vaccines cause autism."
But CBS News didn't admit to viewers that while that belief has been repeatedly disproved by scientific studies, CBS has often presented the idea as a possible credible cause of autism in children. A report on the disease on the July 14, 2005 broadcast of the CBS Evening News featured a sound bite from left-wing environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who argued that a chemical once widely used in vaccines was a cause of autism: "The science connecting brain damage with thimerosal is absolutely overwhelming."
A series of 2010 court rulings deemed there was no link between the chemical thimerosal and autism, as correspondent Elaine Quijano reported on the March 13 Evening News of that year: "In three separate cases a special federal court ruled that Thimerosal, a vaccine preservative containing mercury, does not cause autism."
On Sunday, Landis explained: "It turns out the researcher who made that claim, which caused some parents to stop vaccinating their kids, manipulated the data. There is no evidence vaccines cause autism." In June of 2007, correspondent Sharyl Attkisson gave credence to claims to the contrary: "Twelve-year-old Michelle Cedillo doesn't know it, but she's the center of a landmark case that started today in federal vaccine court, one that could open the door for thousands of autistic children to be paid by a government fund. The controversy: whether their autism was caused by their childhood shots."
Fellow 'Fast Draw' cartoonist Mitch Butler cited University of Illinois psychology professor Daniel Simons to explain why people cling to false assumptions: "He says just because you confront a misconception with fact, don't think that people will automatically see the light....even though the evidence linking autism and injections has been discredited, it will probably take a renewed fear of diseases that vaccines prevent to cure parents of the vaccine myth."
Here is a full transcript of the January 30 Sunday Morning segment:
CHARLES OSGOOD: Plenty of things most people believe turn out not to be true, but try telling them that. Here are Josh Landis and Mitch Butler of 'The Fast Draw.'
JOSH LANDIS: People believe a lot of things. In a survey, one in five people thought that the Sun revolved around the Earth.
MITCH BUTLER: More than half think that they can magically sense someone staring at the back of their head.
LANDIS: And almost one in ten believe Elvis is still alive.
BUTLER: What? So he's not alive?
LANDIS: Some false beliefs might make you laugh but others are dangerous, like the belief, debunked again this month, that vaccines cause autism. It turns out the researcher who made that claim, which caused some parents to stop vaccinating their kids, manipulated the data. There is no evidence vaccines cause autism. So I guess that means all the suspicious parents out there will now change their minds.
DANIEL SIMONS: It's going to be a real challenge, because once a view becomes hardened and people see it as the truth it becomes really hard to dispel it.
BUTLER: Daniel Simons is an author at psychology professor at the University of Illinois. He says just because you confront a misconception with fact, don't think that people will automatically see the light. When the issue is our perceived safety, facts and logic often do not apply.
SIMONS: Many people think shark attacks are one of the leading causes of death in the summer even though they almost never cause death. In fact you're more likely, substantially more likely, to die by having furniture fall on you.
LANDIS: It goes beyond the simple resistance to admitting you were wrong. It has to do with how ideas take root in our brains. When we first hear something it gets processed in an area deep in our brain called the Hippocampus. But as we think about it and remember it, it gets written more deeply into our Cerebral Cortex, rewriting those deep beliefs is especially hard.
BUTLER: Simons thinks even though the evidence linking autism and injections has been discredited, it will probably take a renewed fear of diseases that vaccines prevent to cure parents of the vaccine myth.
SIMONS: Unfortunately, one of the things that will help to undo it is the resurgence of diseases like measles. Young parents today haven't ever seen a child with measles and it's not a pretty sight.
LANDIS: When false beliefs face new information it turns out the truth doesn't always set people free.
BUTLER: And that's one thing I know for sure. I think.

Melvin Sloan landed on the island of Leyte in October of 1944. The third day of fighting, he became the victim of a Japanese bullet. It would seem that World War Two would be over for Sloan, but after only 58 days of recovery, he rejoined his company just in time for the invasion of Menendow. Many of Sloan's buddies were killed in the fighting, but Sloan says he"was lucky."
It's been sixty-five years since Sloan first fought for his country. It's something he doesn't talk about much because "the memories are too painful." But it's also a time in his life where he feels a great deal of pride in his service.

Comments about Gibson Custom Firebird Custom Acoustic Guitar:
I received my Custom Firebird in mid-December after much indecision, contemplation and research. Upon opening the box and case I was not disappointed. The Firebird was everything that I expected. The beauty, quality and workmanship was superb. I had consulted with Chris Swope at Private Reserve on more than one occasion for information and he answered all of my questions and concerns with openness, honesty and knowledge. He was was very helpful in my decision to make the purchase sight unseen.
I had been the previous owner of a Gibson J45, a Gibson hollow body electric, and had played both the Hummingbird and Dove. So I was familiar with the Gibson name.
The sound quality and playability is exceptional and The Firebird will make a great companion to my Martin D-35.
My only disappointment was that I could not get the ebony fretboard or bridge which Chris had informed me of in advance. (Gibson should update their specs). Rosewood is still an acceptable substitute. Also. I elected to have factory installed strings thinking they would be Gibson's recommended choice. Don't know what they were but the wound strings went dead after about the 3rd day. Not a big thing but I bought some of my favorite tried and tested Martin phosphor bronze strings to replace them.
Comments about Gibson Custom Firebird Custom Acoustic Guitar:
Stumming the guitar is a pleasure. Each string seems to sing on its on. Chording the guitar lets it ring on the high end with the bass in the background, if that made any sense. The maple seems to push the sound to the front of the mix. The only other guitar that seems to do that for me is the Martin D-28.There is NOTHING is dislike about this guitar.
Solid AAA-grade Sitka Spruce and AAA-grade maple back and sides and OMG inlay this puppy is a jangle machine. The workmanship and the quality of this guitar will put into legend status as the J-200.
Everyting about this guitar screams quality. The maple back and sides bring this guitar to the front of the line. When I play this thing on stage it just oozes a million dollars with a sound that backs up its looks. The inlay on the fretboard and bound headstock and neck are flawless. Yep, I am gushing here and not embaressed to do so.
Like I said above this guitar will be one of those, I wish I had one of the Gibson Firebird Custom guitars. Try one, sold within 5 minutes.
Comments about Gibson Custom Firebird Custom Acoustic Guitar:
I went to the Gibson factory in Memphis and had the pleasure of trying this thing out. At first glance, the guitar is a beauty. The fretboard fire inlays are amazing, and the engraving on the pickguard is really cool too. It was easily the best looking guitar there (among Monarchs and Doves and the like). It wasn't really over the top with the extras, but still beautiful. It plays amazing. Its so smooth and it sounds incredible. Strumming and fingerpicking both sound amazing. Deep resonant lows and bright highs. One thing that really stuck out was that when playing a chord, you could hear every note, individually. The only down side is the price. But if I had the money to buy this, I would, in a second.
Comments about Gibson Custom Firebird Custom Acoustic Guitar:
My wife bought me this guitar for my first Father's Day last year. At the time it was 1 of 30 made. It truly is one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen or played.Features: Great inlays and beautiful wood and color. The one I got did not have a pickup and so I had to have one installed. If it had come with a pickup features would have been a 10.Quality: The sound is amazing, the tuners stay in tune, just the way a $3000 guitar should be.Value: What can I say $3000 is expensive, but I personally have not heard a better sounding guitar.Overall: Buy it if you like it. Not too many others better than this one, for other expensive guitars you are paying for the artists name, this is expensive because it sounds great and is gorgeous.

Surrounded by her family and members of the elite Highway Patrol Officer Brian Lorenzo's widow left the courthouse with a strong show of support just moments after hearing the man charged with her husband's death plead guilty to third degree murder and other charges.
"Other than bringing Brian back, this is the most positive outcome that could ever happen to that tragedy. It saves the family a lot of anguish," said Fraternal Order of Police President John McNesby.
"At least the family's going to be spared a trial, and that's very important," said Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey.
The veteran highway patrol officer was killed 15 months ago when 47-year-old John Leck Jr. of Levittown, drove his car the wrong way down I-95 and plowed into Lorenzo as he was riding his motorcycle home following his night shift.
State Police testified Leck's blood alcohol was more than twice the legal limit.
"He's obviously intoxicated, driving the wrong way on a highway kills Officer Lorenzo. If it hadn't been Lorenzo, it would have been somebody else," Ramsey told Fox 29.
According to investigators, Leck had been drinking at a TGI Friday's in Bucks County before the accident.
Investigators believe he may have also stopped at another location before the fatal crash. Investigators say Officer Lorenzo never had a chance.
"He never knew what hit him, just hearing the details of it, it's startling, no words can describe it," McNesby said.
Leck's trial on the third degree murder charges, DUI and homicide by vehicle was supposed to start Tuesday.
He will now face sentencing in December. He could be ordered to serve 25 to 50 years behind bars.
"Hopefully December 2nd the judge will really throw the book at him and put him away," McNesby added. When asked what sentence Lecks should get, McNesby said, "the maximum."
"There is no sentence you can give that will bring Officer Lorenzo back unfortunately, but this individual should not go free anytime soon," Ramsey said.
Officer Lorenzo's family did not wish to speak with reporters.

2Chris Brown Has A Cast on His Punchin' Hand
Poor, poor Chris Brown. We all know that he didn't do anything wrong concerning his fight with Frank Ocean, and now look at this! This poor man has a cast on his right hand. What sort of monster is Frank Ocean anyway? What did he do to Chris' hand? He probably stomped on it, huh? Or maybe he had a hammer in his pocket, just for occasions like this. You never know when a kind, gentle soul like Chris is going to come along and need some bones broken.
Oh, wait, is that the hand Chris punches with? He's right-handed, so I'm pretty sure it is. Is it possible that he got this injury by hitting someone?
Nah. Nah, guys. Remember, this is the same injury that Olivier Martinez, Halle Berry's man, had after he got so brutally assaulted by Gabriel Aubry. This just looks like the universal injuries of poor angel victims who never do anything wrong ever. SO SAD.

He needs to be more careful because he needs that hand to keep Rihanna in line !!!! Normally this is where I would say sorry for my poor choice of words but its true Rihanna just worships him and loves him !!!! I don't get it but I believe she is just as sick as him so they make a great couple !!! They should just stay together because they aren't gonna find two other people who are gonna put up with their shit at least not for long !!!! Maybe we will see wedding bells for them soon !!!! I would never wish a girl to be hit but its hard to have sympathy for someone who goes back !!!! Now guys aren't safe either even if he didn't provoke the fight is anyone grown up enough to just walk away ? No the answer is who can act like the bigger thug !!!! While at least maybe Rihanna face will get a break for awhile since he has a cast on it !
Hopefully this will teach Chris a lesson to stick to hitting women.

How important is arts education in children's schooling? Very, says the California Alliance for Arts Education.
The organization recently reached out to the four candidates running for three seats on the Saddleback Valley Unified School Board this November and asked each four arts-related questions as part of a pre-election survey.
Campaigning for reelection to the SVUSD board are trustees Ginny Fay Aitkens, Don Sedgwick and Suzie Swartz. Candidate Earl Carraway is challenging the incumbents.
Each candidate had the opportunity to answer the following questions:
- What meaningful experiences with the arts (visual arts, dance, drama and/or music) did you have growing up?
- What role do you think the arts can play in supporting key education priorities such as closing the achievement gap, reducing the dropout rate and preparing more students for college eligibility and the 21st century workforce?
- A standards-based arts curriculum is one of the five core subjects in NCLB and critical for developing job skills vital in the creative economy and the 21st century workforce. Yet, most often only "what is tested is taught" in our schools. How do you envision bringing balance back for a comprehensive education and ensuring that all students have access to a quality, standards-based arts education curriculum?
- If elected, how will you engage classroom teachers, arts teachers, parents and community arts organizations to shape your agenda for arts education or implement your district's strategic arts plan?
Click here to read the four candidates' responses.
Locally, Arts Orange County advocates for arts education in the classroom. Arts OC works in partnership with the statewide Alliance for Arts Education.

MT. VERNON — Bria Ashby, branch manager of the First Community Bank of the Heartland's 42nd Street office, was named the Young Professional of the Year by officials of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce of Monday.
Ashby will receive the award formally at the Chamber's annual dinner meeting on April 5 at the Holiday Inn.
Nominations were received by the Chamber's Executive Board, which made this year's selection.
"Our executive board felt like we should honor someone who was up and coming," said Chamber Executive Director Brandon Bullard. "The whole community took up for her (Bria). Bria embodies this whole award. In fact, I half in jest said it should be named after her."
Ashby is vice president of the bank, is a member of the Chamber executive board, member of the Mt. Vernon Township High School Foundation Board, involved in CASA, Junior Women's Club, Lifeboat Alliance, Relay for Life, and was the coordinator of the Chamber's Education Clearinghouse and Leadership Academy.
"I was thrilled, a little surprised, and thankful and appreciative of the lovely things that people wrote in their nomination papers," Ashby said.
Bullard said Ashby's nomination was one of about 15 to 20 received by the Chamber.
"There's a lot of young people in this community that are doing a lot of things. The Chamber is proud to not only have Bria involved in our organization, but to the first inaugural winner of the Young Professional of the Year award," Bullard said.
Bullard read a letter from one of the nominees, who stated in an e-mail to the bank president, "This employee was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and even remembered my 84th birthday with candy and a card."
Jared Knapp, president of the bank stated, "This is one of the many times a customer has called or written about Bria. She always goes above and beyond to provide the best customer service."
Along with the Young Professional of the Year award, the Chamber previously announced Richard Straeter as Citizen of the Year, Dwayn Klein as Small Businessperson of the Year, and Ron Kruep honored posthumously as the recipient of the President's Award. The Chamber dinner will start with a social hour at 5:30 p.m. and the dinner at 6:30 p.m.

'Teenagers deserve medal for trying to rescue my husband'
11:10am Tuesday 24th September 2013 in News By Ben Wilkinson, Crime Reporter, also covering Barton and Wood Farm. Call me on (01865) 425427
A WIDOW has praised the teenagers who tried to save her husband's life for their bravery.
The boys pulled 83-year-old Arnold Gwilliam out of a stream in Eynsham and tried to revive him until help arrived.
Although Mr Gwilliam later died, his grieving widow and family say they are pleased that he was not left alone in his final moments.
Nicky Wishart, 15, Tyler Walker, 16, and Ollie Hinchliffe, 16, were in the recreation ground off Oxford Road last month when they heard Mr Gwilliam's dog Jake barking.
They rushed over and found him struggling in the Chill Brook.
The three lifted him out and called 999 when he became unconscious.
Nicky and Tyler then took turns to perform CPR until a PCSO and then an ambulance arrived.
Now Mr Gwilliam's widow June, 85, said they should be given an award.
"It was absolutely marvellous," she said.
"It was comfort for Arnold when he needed it."
She said she wanted to see the boys recognised because it had been a "wonderful comfort" to the family.
Daughter Loretta Taylor, from Witney, also said it helped to know that her father was not alone in his final moments.
The boys were sitting on a bench in the park when they realised something was wrong on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 28.
Bartholomew School pupil Nicky said: "It is not something you think would ever happen. It was like no-one stood there and thought about it. We were all in the river trying to get him out.
"At least before he went, he knew somebody was there."
Tyler, a plumbing student at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College, said he and his friends were proud of what they did.
He said: "I didn't feel anything at the time. I was focused. It didn't really hit me until afterwards."
Mr Gwilliam was taken to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital, but later died.
PCSO Helen Keen, from the Eynsham neighbourhood team, took over CPR from the boys until the paramedics arrived. And yesterday she backed calls to honour the teenagers.
She said: "It was an incredibly brave thing to do, and for such young people to be so mature. It was a very sad ending, but they gave him a fighting chance.
"We have that training, these children don't. That is what makes it incredible. "They just did what came naturally to them. Hats off to them: they did not panic.
"They should be incredibly proud of themselves. It is reassuring that strangers and young people are prepared to put themselves out and do incredible things."
The teenagers were invited to Mr Gwilliam's funeral, which was held at St Leonard's Church in the village on September 12.

What an amazing lady Mrs Gwilliam is to set aside her grief long enough to thank them & ensure they get recognition for what they did.

I wondering if any real plus size, bbw or ssbbw that actually want to know a great guy and willl write more than one email and then fall off the earth?
we are here.. and we have the same problem with men not answering after the first email as well.
Yeah, I have started here online just recently, but it was noticing the same thing with many other bbw sites. If you email someone, even respectably, you hear nothing but crickets.
Maybe its me, who knows. However, if other men are noticing this, it may be a trend.
No worries.
You might do better by looking for pluz-size women on the major dating sites.
of course there are we are everywhere

The Rays won 91 games without Matt Moore in 2011. Yes, Moore started against the Yankees on September 22, giving up zero runs over five innings, but the offense behind him scored 15 that day -- even the collapsing Red Sox rotation could have won with that kind of support. That matters because Moore, who threw all of nine innings with the Rays this year, is their Game 1 starter against the Texas Rangers in the first round of the playoffs.
Moore didn't start the year as the top pitching prospect in the system. That's no slight against Moore, as much as it's praise for teammate Jeremy Hellickson. Both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus ranked Moore as the #2 prospect on the farm behind Hellickson (with Desmond Jennings, the team's starting left fielder, slotting in third). Installed in the big club's rotation last spring, Hellickson threw 189 innings for the Rays and posted a 2.95 ERA, partially because of the incredible defense behind him (the Rays converted 73.5 percent of balls in play into outs, more than an entire percentage point better than the next-best team) and partially because he's a talented and young hurler the Rays can lean on.
Prior to this season, Moore had led the minors in strikeouts two years running, but hadn't pitched above High-A. There was a lot more to love than not, as his fastball lived in the mid-90s, and his curve, as described by BP's Kevin Goldstein, was a "plus power curveball with heavy late break," but his command would occasionally vanish thanks to inconsistent mechanics. Still, it's hard to complain about a pitcher who'd struck out 384 batters in his last 267 innings.
Moore kept things going at Double-A, striking out 131 batters in 102 innings and 18 starts. That came against just 28 walks, too, giving Moore a 4.7 strikeout-to-walk ratio, easily his best at any level, and helping to reassure those that were worried about his mechanics that he had this thing under control. ESPN's Keith Law bumped Moore from #16 to #2 in his mid-season prospect rankings, and Goldstein moved him from 10 to 2.
Moore proved that the analysts were on to something when he moved to Triple-A and kept on punching out hitters, whiffing 79 in 52 frames, giving him a career-best K/9 of 13.5 at the highest level of the minors. He kept his control, too, posting a 4.4 K/BB.
His stuff is undeniable, and if he can maintain consistent mechanics and thus his control and command, then he can be a front-line starter in the majors, yet another high-quality pitcher produced by the Rays' farm.
The Rays trust that enough to give him his second career start in the bigs in the postseason, against the Texas Rangers, who tied for the major league lead in True Average, and tied for second behind the Red Sox according to wRC+. Regardless of your offensive measurement of choice, the Rangers can flat-out hit, and the Rays expect that Moore can slow them down, even with his lack of experience.
That's a huge amount of trust to put in a 22-year-old who has a single full game's worth of experience in the majors, but again, we're talking about a pitcher with a career K/9 in the minors higher than Stephen Strasburg's -- would you start Strasburg in the playoffs? Would you have when the hype train was at full speed in 2010?
It's likely Moore will become a star pitcher in the majors (as likely as it is for any major pitching prospect, anyway). Failure to pitch well in the playoffs likely won't impact his career path, but pitching well on a national stage could vault him to early stardom in the eyes of fans everywhere. It might also impact the shape of the 2012 Rays rotation, a group that, like with Matt Garza leaving to make room for Hellickson, will need a face lift in order to squeeze him in. Tonight we'll get a look at how obvious that need might be.

Gas Prices Got You Down?
Tips for saving at the pump.
With fuel prices hovering near all-time highs throughout much of this year and everyone looking for ways to save money in their budgets, there are some simple and low-cost ways to make trips to the pump less frequent. Whether your car has 20,000 or 200,000 miles behind it, keeping it properly maintained will always help it perform better and use less fuel.
The heart of any car is the engine, and if it doesn't pump effectively, it will have to work harder and be thirstier. The sophisticated computer control systems on newer engines are able to automatically compensate for current conditions by blending the ideal amount of gasoline or diesel with the incoming air and firing sparkplugs at the best time for clean, efficient operation. Unlike older vehicles with carburetors and distributor ignition systems, modern engines don't need frequent timing adjustments or sparkplug replacement, but they only work properly when all of the sensors work properly. Fortunately, the electronic systems are smart enough to detect failed sensors and let the driver know through the "Check Engine" warning lamp.
When a failure has been detected, the control system switches over to default settings, which can lead to increased fuel consumption of up to 40 percent. Drivers should get any problems fixed as soon as possible; that warning light you've been ignoring for three months might not mean disaster, but it could be costing you quite a bit of money.
With all of the moving parts in an engine, proper lubrication is critical for both efficiency and durability. Oil and filters should be replaced regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations in the owner's manual or the oil life monitor, if the car or truck has one. It's also important to use the grade of oil recommended by the maker of the vehicle. Using oil with too high or low a viscosity can lead to increased friction, lower mileage and premature wear.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency's FuelEconomy.gov website (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/maintain.shtml), "
You can improve your gas mileage by 1 to 2 percent by using the manufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil.
" The EPA site also recommends using "
motor oil that says 'Energy Conserving' on the API performance symbol to be sure it contains friction-reducing additives."
Another easy and inexpensive way to improve mileage is to replace clogged air filters. The EPA says that swapping out a clogged filter may "improve fuel economy 2 to 6 percent under normal replacement conditions or up to 14 percent if the filter is so clogged that it significantly affects drivability." Drivers that live in dusty environments should have their filters checked more frequently and replaced as needed.
Many cars and trucks today are equipped with lower rolling resistance tires to help fuel economy. Unfortunately, these are only beneficial when the tires are properly inflated. Many new cars and trucks sold today are equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems that warn the driver if a tire is getting low, and all drivers should carry a pressure gauge in the glovebox along with registration and insurance. Every vehicle has a recommended tire pressure on a sticker that can usually be found on the driver's doorjamb, and drivers should check their pressures at least once a month.
All tires leak some amount of air over time, and cold temperatures can cause the pressure to drop even more. From www.FuelEconomy.gov, "Underinflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires," and a tire that is more than 10 psi lower than normal can cut mileage by three percent. Low-pressure tires also wear out faster and degrade vehicle handling, leading to safety problems.
The designers of modern cars and trucks spend thousands of hours tweaking the shape of those vehicles in wind tunnels so they slip through the air with less resistance. While sports fans often love to show support for their teams by adding flags to their windows and roofs, these ornaments work against the aerodynamic shape, especially at highway speeds where up to one-third of fuel is used just to overcome wind resistance. Replacing those flags with magnets or stickers inside the windows can save you money at the pump.
Finally, few things affect fuel economy as much as driver behavior. Avoiding jackrabbit starts and excessive highway speeds can help to save money. When combined with proper maintenance, these measures can keep your ride running reliably for many years to come.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A report commissioned by Gov. Chris Christie says members of his administration didn't pressure Hoboken's mayor to approve a development project in exchange for Superstorm Sandy aid.
The report released Thursday by lawyers hired by the governor calls Mayor Dawn Zimmer's allegations "demonstrably false."
Zimmer claimed she received threats from, among others, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno to advance a stalled real estate project in Hoboken. Zimmer has said she was led to believe her approval of the project was tied to how much Sandy aid Hoboken would receive.
The report claims Zimmer changed her story several times and that her accounts of meetings with Guadagno and others aren't supported by other witness accounts or documents created at the time.
Zimmer's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Select Route:
The climb consists of an initial technical buttress followed by a long, 3rd-class ridge and a final, tricky headwall.
Crescent Ridge extends southeast then due south from the summit of Pagoda Mountain. From the Sandbeach Lake Trailhead, hike 4.5 miles to Sandbeach Lake, then bushwhack another 2 miles northwest, staying north of Mount Orton. Before long you will begin to see glimpses of the obvious Crescent Ridge through the trees. At least one creek crossing is involved in this approach and your feet are likely to get wet. Once you are near treeline, take a left and scramble up to the ridge south of a large, rocky dome. Scramble over the dome and down into a broad, U-shaped notch, then up to the base of the initial buttress.
Standard Alpine rack up to #2 Camalot with an emphasis on smaller pieces.
