"Un. Real. There is no other way to describe...well, that's a lie because I'll come up with more. But my first impression of The Knitter's Book of Yarn? Un. Real. I open the hardcover to reveal a fiber family tree. Smitten. Smitten on the spot. This book is, without a doubt, everything you ever wanted to know not just about fiber but were afraid to ask….This is absolutely a MUST HAVE book, and I don't say that often."—MelissaKnits, blog

Fisher says NBA players don't want to follow in NFL's footsteps
Jul 21, 2011, 1:02 PM EDT
Sometime very soon, the NFL is going to end its lockout and get back to work, the two sides agreeing on a salary system. Derek Fisher, president of the NBA players union, is no fan of the NFL's hard cap, non-gaurunteed contract system. While the NBA owners are proposing a system that moves in that…
Report: Owners, players have no high level talks planned
Jul 19, 2011, 8:07 AM EDT
Every day we have some posturing news to report — "big name player X is really serious about playing in Europe/China next year" — but as for actual progress to end the NBA lockout…. Crickets. That's not getting any better in the near future, reports Sam Amick at Sports Illustrated. The two sides are not…
It's official, we saw it on twitter. Actually, it's official because Deron Williams tweeted it and added a picture of his signature on a contract with Besiktas. Williams has signed a deal that will have him playing in Turkey this fall if the NBA lockout isn't resolved. Well, maybe it will, but he has signed…
Wow, actual talks — union, league staff to meet
Jul 14, 2011, 10:01 PM EDT
It's not much. At best it's a meeting to set up a meeting. But it's something. And right now we'll take just about anything as a glimmer of hope. Staff from the league and the players union will meet Friday, according to Sports Illustrated. Mid-level staff members from the players' association and league office are…
NBA expects big television revenue jump, which complicates lockout
Jul 14, 2011, 11:57 AM EDT
Nothing runs professional sports in the United States like television and television money. And it's right in the middle of the NBA lockout. That starts with the current television deal, set to pay the league $930 million next season (assuming there is a next season). We told you before about how the NBA's television networks…
It's all about leverage. In a letter sent out to 450 NBA players, players union Executive Director Billy commended Deron Williams and all but encouraged players to look overseas. He said that he did not think FIBA or the NBA would stand in a player's way (FIBA would have to clear players under contract to…
NBA teams around the league are looking to cut back on expenses during the lockout. Around the league, it's starting to get ugly, as the Associated Press reports: (Charlotte Bobcats) Radio play-by-play announcer Scott Lauer was one of at least seven employees let go by the Bobcats in the past week. A person familiar with…
NBA to return $160 million in escrow money to players
Jul 12, 2011, 8:59 PM EDT
In the one move since the start of the NBA lockout, the NBA announced Tuesday that it is going to give the players back money they already earned. It's a good thing in terms of thawing the ice, but it's not going to really change things. As for what happened… this is going to take…
NLRB taking close look at players claim against owners
Jul 12, 2011, 8:50 AM EDT
You may have forgotten that back before the lockout started the players union filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) complaining the owners were not negotiating in good faith. The NLRB didn't forget. They are on it, according to a tweet from Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal. In recent weeks…
NBA players not ruling out union decertification
Jul 11, 2011, 2:57 PM EDT
If it comes to this, it's when you know things have gotten really, really bad. But for now the NBPA — the players union — is refusing to take the idea of decertification of the union off the table, according to Howard Beck at the New York Times. Of course, not taking it off the…
Court ruling on NFL has little impact on NBA lockout
Jul 8, 2011, 11:36 AM EDT
While the two sides seem close to a deal in the NFL lockout, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has come down with a ruling favoring the NFL — saying that the lockout can continue in that sport. What does that mean for the NBA lockout? Nothing much. The National Basketball Players…
Players union pushing idea 'Melo, other stars might play in Europe
Jul 8, 2011, 10:19 AM EDT
Deron Williams has a deal in principle to play in Turkey should the lockout extend into September (and it almost certainly will be there at the start of the month). We have our doubts about how many other elite players will follow in those footsteps — but it is great leverage for the NBPA (the…
Books show Nets with $44 million loss in 2008-09 season
Jul 7, 2011, 5:53 PM EDT
Did NBA teams lose money last year? And if so, really how much? In the absence of the owners and players union sitting down and actually talking, the question of loss has become the talking point of the NBA lockout. There has been plenty of back-and-forth between the NBA and the players union — and…
There is some logic to why Deron Williams would sign with Besiktas Cola Turka to play next season. For one, it puts some pressure on the NBA owners in the Collective Bargaining talks (although not that much). Williams is coming off wrist injuries at the end of last season and this would let him get…
Battier: "We can't afford to go through what the NFL is going through"
Jul 7, 2011, 1:43 PM EDT
There are a lot of differences between the NFL and NBA lockouts. A lot. Starting with the NFL is a money making league, the NBA has been losing money. That changes things. Another is that the NFL is better able to withstand the public relations hit of a lockout, something Shane Battier talked about when…
Report: Lockout could cost ESPN, ABC, TNT $1.25 billion
Jul 6, 2011, 9:29 PM EDT
The list of people with a lot to lose if the NBA lockout stretches out just keeps right on growing. Next up are the networks that David Stern calls NBA partners — ESPN and ABC, as well as TNT. They will be some angry partners if the numbers from AdWeek are correct (via CBS Eye…
Somehow, you can always tie professional sports back into television money. That may include the NBA lockout. Right now, the players deal on the table calls for them to take slightly less in in overall revenue (from 57 percent of Basketball Related Income now to 54.3 percent next season) with a five or six year…
NBA releases books showing $1.85 billion loss over six years
Jul 6, 2011, 7:17 PM EDT
The league office has been working hard in recent days to make its case that the NBA owners are losing money. Big money. They have now released some audited net income numbers — money left after all the costs are put out — to Forbes in an effort to make a more definitive case. The…
Winderman: How July 8, 2010, helped lead us to lockout
Jul 6, 2011, 11:01 AM EDT
We're sure this is not the final time we'll be going through this exercise in coming weeks, or even (hopefully not) coming months, the a-year-ago game. Thursday marks the one-year anniversary of the start of the much-hyped 2010 NBA free-agency signing period. July 8, 2010 was, without question, a seismic moment. Amare Stoudemire signed with…
We were telling you about some potential barnstorming tours of China by NBA players if the lockout extends into the next season, the brainchild of agents trying to grow the brand of their clients when there are no games. We also told you, it's not that simple. There's the whole Chinese Government thing, insurance and…
Lakers guard and NBA players union president Derek Fisher is a great talker. Media love him because he's good for a quality quote after the game. He's prized for radio and television interviews because he is smooth. When he went on ESPN Los Angeles over the holiday weekend to talk lockout, he sounded like someone running…
The NBA owners continue to say the lockout is going on because the players don't understand the fundamental need to change the league's poor financial system — that $300 million was lost this past year. More and more reports are questioning the severity of that loss. The latest is Nate Silver at the New York…

Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
The calendar says spring, but at movie theaters it's already summer: Iron Man 3 is out, and The Great Gatsby opens on Friday, both in 3-D.
Just as in the past few years, many potential blockbusters will be coming at viewers in three-dimensions. But 3-D may be working less magic at the box office: Fitch, the debt-rating agency, expects 3-D attendance to fall in the U.S. this year, causing average movie-ticket prices to drop for the first time since 2009, when Avatar3-D raked in the extra few bucks.
You can't blame it all on the silly glasses. The lineup of movies simply isn't as strong as last year's, when viewers flocked to The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man, said Fitch analysts Shawn Gannon and Rolando Larrondo. This summer, a Star Trek sequel and Despicable Me 2 may not pack that punch.
Flatscreen: 3-D may have lost its power to enchant, and to boost ticket prices and sales. Can two promised blockbusters help? William Waitzman for Barron's
Revenue from 3-D films was flat at $1.8 billion last year, says the Motion Picture Association of America, and studios are on track to release fewer 3-D films this year—35, versus 36 last year and 40 in 2011.
Plainly, consumers are no longer wowed by the novelty of 3-D. "The initial excitement has dwindled," and moviegoers are now balking at the premium price of 3-D tickets, the Fitch analysts wrote. Result: "Studios are re-evaluating the power of 3-D," says Phil Contrino, chief analyst at Box Office, which studies movie receipts and buzz.
Of course, 3-Ds could get a lift if Gatsby is a hit. "If people respond well to that, you could have a surge in period pieces and dramas in 3-D," Contrino says.
Wuthering Heights in 3-D? Hold on to your seats!

Last Week: Review
Stocks Scale New Heights
Stocks shot through the roof after the Labor Department reported Friday that the private sector added 165,000 jobs in April, well above expectations, and that the jobless rate eased to 7.5%, from 7.6%. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged past 15,000 intraday, its highest level ever, and closed the week at 14,974; the Standard & Poor's 500 also surged to an all-time high at 1614.42.
Apple Tries Bonds
In its first offering in almost 20 years, Apple sold $17 billion of bonds last Tuesday, the largest corporate-bond deal in history. The tech giant said in April it would borrow cash as part of a plan to return $100 billion to shareholders.

Goosing Global Growth…
The European Central Bank sliced its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point to a record 0.5%; more easing could be in store, says ECB President Mario Draghi. The move hurt the euro but spurred hopes of global economic recovery. It also came a day after the U.S. Federal Reserve recommitted to its aggressive stimulus program.
...But China Doesn't React
The ECB rate cut came amid growing concerns that economic growth in the world's second-largest economy, China, remains fragile, after the official government's purchasing managers' index showed slowing manufacturing activity in April. A key gauge of the factory sector in the U.S. also showed a decrease.

cant great any better thn a hot ass gurl in th tub DAMN got me a good nut.
You are absolutely.....perfect, yes that't the word. Stop whatever else is going
on in your life, stay in the tub, or go to the bed, drop out of school (it's over-rated) and continue to develop your craft as a this American's idol...
You have a goddess's body, I would get into this tub and would fuck you against the wall
Amy...mmmmm...you so fuckin hot.....my cum hits the ceiling when i jerk off to your vids!
girl i would love to have you for myself. and i would do you all the time.
We like to see you rub your swollen, sweet pussy! I like the water on my pussy too when I used to masturbate, pre-marriage and erocillator. Cum see us.
The problem with pron is that a girl like you can make zillions of guys jerk their cocks all day to a video like this when they should be mowing the lawn.
Wonderful and very sexy/naughty. The video quality is very good, liked the steam floating around.
I think everyone should be able to masturbate like you Amy. Took you less that 4 mins to orgasm! That's fast for a woman! It takes me about 3 mins but then I have had a lot of practice! lol xxxx

So So Cute Mary!!! I love your cow card!!!
You are so sweet to share it with us!
Have a wonderful day!
Bobbie N. Thompson Glad you're having fun with your Imagine, Mary! I just got mine about a month ago, but I've been so busy making my mass-produced Christmas cards that I really haven't played with it much. I'll have to get busy with it! I was able to purchase quite a few of the Imagine cartridges on eBay ~ actually bought one for $6.22 ~ what a deal, huh?
Have fun playing!Such a cute card!!! I got an Imagine at WalMart the other night...they only had 5 in the store, so I felt blessed to be able to get one! Have been so busy this weekend, I haven't even turned it on. I'm looking forward to playing with it some this week after work!! Love your ideas!!! Keep them coming!!!

Our CPA/farmer daughter's b-day is 31 Dec. This will be a perfect card for her! They have Belted Galloway or Oreo cows so may try to mimic that. We are spending Christmas week on a cruise with the entire family (19)and will celebrate Nov, Dec and Jan b-days. My granddaughter has my E and I have an E2 and the Imagine. She watches you faithfully. We talk about 'Mary' as if she is an old and dear friend. Love your ideas, and the measurements.
ReplyDelete The best gift ever is another posting of your wonderful card ideas....thanks so much for staying up late for all your followers. I just received my first --but not last-- order of your great stamps and I can't wait to start
using them....I have finished xmas cards for this year but I think I will be starting on next year right now!!! What an inspiration you are!
Fran from Frankfort- Charlene M.November 28, 2011 at 9:51 PM
Congrats on your new Imagine, Mary! I saw the ad in Walmart's BF sale paper and would love to have gotten one. I'll just have to enjoy it through you for now. Loved your card!

"A Must Have"
These are two very fine books that help foster a closer walk with God. They're not bogged down with heavy dialoge and theological terms that go over your head. Great for listening to while going about your work. I plan to do some listening to wind down for bedtime. Steps to Christ is an enduring classic. I highly recommend them!

2003 Toyota Camry • 83,000 miles
My car has brake problem. Some times on non paved roadswith a speed of 2mph the brake pedal kick back with a vibration to the pedal and a sound comes. The same things happens when you drive on ashphalt roads and a sudden brake application. Is this any relation with ABS or sensor. I changed the master cylinder and all the discs, front and rear but no change. I even adjusted the wheen disc in a lathe since the mechanic told that it has got bend. But when we ump the brake there will not be any problem but sometimes the brake slips irrespective of the speed. Please help me

I agree, have the ABS system checked and make sure your tyres are ok, lack of grip on the loose surface may cause the ABS to react.

FC Nordsjaelland's Michael Parkhurst of the USA and Shaktar Donetsk's Luiz Adriano of Brazil after the controversial goal after an injury stop during their Group E Champions League soccer match at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov. 20, 2012.
GENEVA (AP) — Shakhtar Donetsk forward Luiz Adriano was charged by UEFA on Wednesday for disrespecting Champions League opponent Nordsjaelland by scoring an uncontested goal after a drop ball.
UEFA opened a disciplinary case against Luiz Adriano for "violation of the principles of conduct" in Tuesday's match in Denmark. The case will be judged next Tuesday.
The controversy followed a stoppage in play when a Nordsjaelland player was injured.
Luiz Adriano infuriated Nordsjaelland players and fans after an uncontested drop ball by racing to collect teammate Willian's kick downfield that was intended for the home goalkeeper.
The Brazilian forward ignored watching defenders, dribbled around the 'keeper and shot into an empty net.
The goal was allowed by French referee Antony Gautier before Luiz Adriano was pursued back into his own half by protesting Nordsjaelland players.
Luiz Adriano's first-half goal made it 1-1, and he eventually scored three in a 5-2 win that ensured Shakhtar advanced to the last 16.
"Their striker didn't get it," Nordsjaelland captain Nicolai Stokholm said. "I looked down at my armband and there's something about respect — it has to be said we didn't see much of that.
"We thought that they would give us a goal. Half their team seemed to think so too, but the other half didn't."
The disputed goal did not breach the laws of football, but UEFA has taken an ethical stance.
UEFA said it brought charges based on Article 5 of its disciplinary regulations. It includes clauses on conduct which is "insulting or otherwise violates the basic rules of decent," and which "brings the sport of football, and UEFA in particular, into disrepute."
Luiz Adriano faces being suspended for Shakhtar's final home match against Juventus on Dec. 5. The Italian champions will also advance, at the expense of Chelsea, if they avoid defeat in Ukraine.
Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu later apologized for Luiz Adriano's behavior and said he had instructed his players to allow Nordsjaelland to score immediately and take a 2-1 lead.
However, midfielder Taras Stepanenko challenged Stokholm after the Danish team restarted play.
"I was supposed to let Stokholm advance unchallenged when he was moving toward me," Stepanenko said in comments reported by the club's website, "but I hadn't been told about that in time, so I picked up the ball."
Shakhtar pointed to a similar incident four years ago when it was the apparent victim of bad sportsmanship in a Champions League match against Barcelona.
The ball was kicked out by a Shakhtar player as a teammate lay injured, but Barcelona attacked from the throw-in and Lionel Messi scored to equalize in a game the Spanish club won 2-1.
In a celebrated incident in English football in 1999, Arsenal agreed to replay an FA Cup match against Sheffield United after acknowledging that its winning goal stemmed from unsporting behavior by Nigerian forward Nwankwo Kanu.

1990 Chevrolet Truck
My 1990 c1500 2wd 5.7L TBI recently began to surge at idle from time to time, never stalls, the problem has gotten to where it will definately start doing it if you let it idle for a few minutes, I cleaned the throttlebody making sure that IAC solenoid is working, its not egr, tps or map, no trouble codes in the ecu. Good vacuum. Some previous owner removed the cap that usually covers the idle adjuster on the throttle body. I just purchased truck started doing this days after purchase, so im assuming they messed w/ the adjuster which in my mind is a no-no for a TBI. It seems like the comp is trying to compensate for something it doesnt like by using the IAC to adjust the idle. Any ideas im pulling my hair out

RecruitingNation: Big 12 hoops breakdown - ESPN Video - ESPN Not sure if this has been posted but here's a nice little clip that talks about Matt Thomas and Freddy's recruiting efforts among the B12
Love it.
I hope Matt Thomas can come in and do what everyone is expecting based upon his current skill set. However, he's just a freshman, but he's going to have these unrealistic expectations to be an elite player the minute he steps into Hilton Coliseum. While theres no doubt he's going to be good, I'm not expecting him to average 15+ ppg. Im excited to see his shooting capabilities though! Also, seems like he can get to the hole pretty well.
Basketball, football...in 2 years both programs are REALLY gonna be rolling.
To me, I hope Thomas is good enough to start on day 1, but as far as expectations go, I only expect a solid role player with a sniper 3 point ball. Anything more is icing on the cake.
Gotta beat those Jayhawks.

Content Marketing Minds: God's Repurposing Plan
The Holy Bible. It's not only the most read book, it's also the most repurposed work ever created.
From booklets to brochures, inspirationals to infographics, sermons to stories, calendars to coasters—what hasn't been scribed from The Scriptures?
You can look at apps alone. Search for "Bible" in Google Play or iTunes. You'll be scrolling for eternity.
It's God's plan, right? The Father knew we'd need these words every day in every conceivable way. So he created the ultimate masterwork and invited disciples everywhere to give it everlasting life.
And now for a slightly awkward segue.
With apologies to authors Ann Handley and C.C. Chapman, their book "Content Rules" has become something of a bible of content marketing. If you'll open to chapter 5, the book of "Reimagine," we'll learn valuable lessons about the "anatomy of a content circle of life."
"Content Rules" says, "Take a broader view. Create content that can come to life in various formats, across many different platforms, and can address multiple audiences."
The purposes of repurposing.
As often as struggling content marketers claim it's difficult to create enough content, a lesson in getting more content with less effort needs to be repeated. The reasons are many:
- Lower the costs of content creation.
- Accelerate production of new content.
- Lengthen the life of your themes and ideas.
- Increase audience reach.
- Appeal to varying media preferences and learning styles.
- Showcase different aspects of a topic.
- Get more "finds" via search.
- Cross-promote your content with your content.
- Reinforce your messages and increase authority.
Repurposing with purpose.
So how do you do this repurposing thing with purpose—and on purpose?
One way is to create a number of smaller pieces of content. You create a series of posts, interviews, or maybe just pins, and roll them into something more substantial when you're done. This isn't my favorite way to approach the task, but the authors of "Content Rules" point out two valuable benefits of going small-to-large:
- It's easier.
- It allows you to test your audience's appetite for the idea. You can gauge the response along the way and potentially refine your idea or even pull the plug on clunkers.
Though there's more work involved up-front—planning, research and writing—and probably more risk, I much prefer the reverse strategy. That is, you create the larger piece first, often, an eBook. I dug into the details of this strategy when I wrote, "The eBook is the Stud in Your Content Marketing Stable."
In addition to outlining the strategy, a slide deck version of the content (a hit on SlideShare), also offers a detailed example of how I executed the approach with my own eBook, "21 Pointers to Sharpen Your Website."
A great content marketing starter kit.
If you're new to content marketing, I suspect you'll have some fears about sustaining your creative efforts in the early going. When I advise clients like this, I strongly suggest we take the "studs make ponies" approach.
I talk to them about how we can conceive a substantial eBook designed to address a pressing, but fundamental area of their business they believe will serve as a useful primer for prospects. For instance, a wide scope "how to" covering the main focus of their service… or an "understanding the costs of X"… or "common mistakes in X." Essentially, you can think of the eBook as an extensive series of answers to FAQs.
And, of course, while it's an eBook first (one that will be used to inspire email opt-ins), it will get sliced, diced, revisited—and probably expanded—into blog posts, social media bites, visuals, slides, an infographic, emails, webinars, and possibly even more assets.
The point: one big idea, executed well, will result in a piece of content that may "reproduce" for 6, 12, even 18 months. Two years after I created the eBook "21 Pointers to Sharpen Your Website, I'm in the process of collaborating with a partner, who is a digital video master, to create a series of short videos (which will be repurposed as well).
The cycle continues, that is, if you have a master plan to begin with. In "Content Rules," Ann and C.C. call the art of repurposing existing content "reimagining." Doing it well isn't just recycling or repacking; it's making the content fit its new container, plus, using your imagination to add something new.
Just dare me to express this idea as a graphic.
I could do that, but I don't have to. My friends at Vertical Measures, who are world-class content creators, did it for me (and you). In a concise and informative eBook (which I suspect was also a blog post), Vertical Measures displayed this simple "atomized" representation of the concept and some very common repurposing plays.

Finding studly content to repurpose.
Kevan Lee, a fine blogger at Buffer, gave the topic of repurposing an interesting spin. He spoke to how experienced bloggers can use a nifty shortcut by mining repurposing projects in waiting from past posts. Translation: tap into your blog post archives. Kevan suggests you go in search of:
- "Evergreen" content — posts with quality concepts that remain relevant.
- Hits — posts that performed well as measured by pageviews.
- Update worthy — posts you can update with new ideas.
His article then lays out a series of ideas. I'll share the better ones with you to get the gears turning:
- Refresh old posts.
- Rewrite for guest post opportunities.
- Create a presentation.
- Build an infographic.
- Create an instructographic (a clunky name given to the how-to infographic).
- Craft an email series.
- Create a video or podcast series.
- Create a webinar.
Check out the blog post mentioned above, from Buffer, because it shows many fine examples of all of the above and more.
And that's all folks. Big thanks to Ann Handley and C.C. Chapman, Vertical Measures and Buffer for the great ideas I've re-used and respun.
Big thanks to you for adding "Content Marketing Minds" to your online marketing advice diet. (Remember we have our own hashtage: #CMMinds.)
Big thanks to the Big G, whose word is the divine inspiration for the rambling I did above.

My question, then, is: What are some of the key debates driving social media marketing today?
Apr 13 Posted 1 year ago
I'd have to understand your question better to continue the convo. There's plenty of debate.
Apr 11 Posted 1 year ago
Thanks again Barry. I recall reading a book - I am not sure who wrote it - called The Death of Newspapers.
The author made an interesting point that the demise of print had less to do with classified ads migrating to Craig's list, than the fact that newspapers had become so neutral and bland in their positions that there was very little energy around them - Certainly not enough to get people excited enough to debate a column.
Is that a question? I guess not, but I am wondering what the issues are in your social media experience, issues controversial enough to spark a lot of debate, or are thought leaders pretty much in agreement?
Apr 11 Posted 1 year ago
Yeah. I guess I've learned to live with it. Some places I write for consistently get a lot of commentary and some don't. SMT generally does not, though I wish it did. I think there's so much content here, readers are inclined to keep reading. Sometimes, however, the dialogue around a post on SMT kicks in in the LinkedIn Group.
Apr 10 Posted 1 year ago
Barry, Thank you for this post. I noticed that Daniel's was the only comment so far, but that there were many re-postings. Frankly, I feel discouraged when I post something and are few comments. It's like giving a talk for an hour followed by zero hands up in the question and answer period. The conclusion I draw is that whatever I have presented failed to connect.
What's your experience?
Apr 10 Posted 1 year ago
i am not oppose in essence of repurposing content is a good tool to reach other audiences, however there is fine line between a copy/paste repurposed content and a creative one. my suggestion is that you experiment before going this road and this road is good for future scheduled campaign enhancements, not necesaraly for your daily conversation.
i wrote something on the topic Every story has many sides.
in essence is how to step out of your own box to reach other types of audiences and even your audience on a different channel or network.

Scrollbars are great for displaying a lot of information within a small area. Despite their importance, we often take scrollbars for granted. For example, your browser window should display a scrollbar on the right side of this page for allowing you to easily scroll down. We don't really think about them;- we just expect them to be there when the need arises.
Yet, creating a scrollbar is trickier than using one. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create your own compact, easily customizable scrollbar in Flash. Even though Flash comes with several scrolling components, the scrollbar you will be creating allows for easier customization along with a significantly smaller file size compared to its built-in variation.
The following is an example of what you will be creating:
[ click and drag down on the blue square to scroll through the content ]
Creating a Scrollbar:
Download Partial Source for Flash 8
[ give your content movie clip the instance name contentMain ]
You are basically creating a 300x200 rectangle that covers up your entire drawing area. Your Properties panels should look similar to the following image:
[ ensure your rectangle is 300x200 with a x/y offset of 0 ]
[ your content is no longer overflowing from the stage; it is masked ]
On the next page, you will add the scroll track and the scroll face (dragger). You'll have a fully functioning scrollbar in no time!
Onwards to the next page!

There are plenty of fun things to do in Malaysia with kids. Malaysia is a very child-friendly country. Malaysians love kids and most Malaysian parents would not dream of going to a restaurant for example without their kids.
I am not going to try to catalogue every single kids' attraction in the country but here are some of the family activities which we have tried and found enjoyable.
We recently visited the newly opened Legoland Malaysia and this has taken over the number one spot as my daughter's favourite theme park in Malaysia. It is located in Johor which is rather far away from us as we live in KL but I expect we shall manage to visit again.
Her second favourite theme park, Sunway Lagoon is more conveniently located on the southern outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. It is an international-standard theme park with a water-based section (wave pool, water slides, lazy river etc.), land-based amusement park (thrill rides etc.), an extreme park, scream park and wildlife park.
Her next favourite theme park is probably Lost World of Tambun near Ipoh. Also managed by Sunway Group, the park includes a water park, land-based amusement rides, a petting zoo and a hot spring resort.
Genting Highlands is a close runner up with indoor and outdoor amusement parks, a cable car ride, a Ripley's Believe It Or Not and a casino (for adults!).
Another very good indoor park is Berjaya Times Square Theme Park which has probably the scariest roller coaster in Malaysia.
There are a number of cheaper water parks and amusement parks scattered around the country including Wet World Water Park in Shah Alam and A'Famosa Resort near Melaka.
Bukit Merah Laketown Resort is another option. While its waterpark may not be as good as Sunway Lagoon or Lost World, it does have the added attraction of Orang Utan Island.
Younger kids, in the 3-7 year range, will enjoy Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park which is close to Legoland. This indoor theme park includes Hello Kitty Town and Little Big Town which features Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder, Angelina Ballerina, Pingu and Barney.
For something completely different you could take the kids to i-City in Shah Alam. Here you can experience a winter wonderland in Snowalk and admire an amazing forest of lights. Here too is the recently opened Waterworld@i-City, a water theme park which includes the Ultimate Tornado, the 1st vortex spiral slide in South-East Asia. Another fun activity at i-City for kids is the Trick Art Museum. In the next door building is the recently opened Red Carpet Wax Museum (Malaysia's closest equivalent to Madame Tussauds).
If you live in Malaysia with kids it certainly helps if your children enjoy the great outdoors. All the National Parks and Recreational Parks are fun places for children to explore and get some exercise.
The Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary and Deerland was a hit with my children.
Zoos are always a favourite and Zoo Negara is probably the best one in the country but there are also good zoos in Melaka and Taiping.
At Farm In The City on the outskirts of KL, children can pet cuddly animals and see exotic species in a Malaysian village themed setting.
Over in Sabah, the Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary is a good place for children to see orang utans in a more natural setting.
Aquaria in KLCC is an impressive state-of-the-art aquarium which my kids enjoyed even though they have already been to very similar ones in Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila, Dubai and Osaka. See the Petronas Twin Tower page for Aquaria opening times and admission charges.
The KL Bird Park is one of my favourite attractions. It claims to have the world's largest free-flight walk-in aviary. A stone's throw away is the Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park where you can wander through a steamy rain forest environment and watch thousands of spectacular butterflies fluttering freely under cavernous netting. If you go to Cameron Highlands, Penang or Melaka you will find similar butterfly parks.
The mangrove swamps around Kuala Selangor are home to a number of firefly colonies whose glowing, twinkling abdomens put on a nightly show for visitors.
It is only on for 11 days, once every two years but MAHA Agricultural Show is a good place for kids to learn about agriculture and there are fun activities for children too.
Batu Caves is an easily accessible place for kids to experience a massive limestone cave which also houses several Hindu shrines.
The Science Museum, Planetarium, Petrosains and Air Force Museum are among my children's favourite museums in Kuala Lumpur.
If you are in Malaysia with kids (including Dads!) who like cars you should make a bee-line to Sepang International Circuit where they have Go Kart racing (for age 13 plus) and the National Automobile Museum. For something different try visiting the bread museum in Shah Alam called High 5 Bread Town.
If you can get to Putrajaya in February and March your kids might enjoy the Kite Festival or the International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. The latter especially has a whole host of fun attractions in addition to a spectacular display of colourful and unusual hot air balloons.
Also in Putrajaya, you can take a cruise trip round Putrajaya's scenic lakes and admire the city's striking architecture. Putrajaya also has Challenge Park with one of the best indoor climbing walls you are likely to see as well as a skateboard park and mountain biking course.
Talking of cruise trips, the Mines Cruise next to The Mines shopping mall is a pleasant way of killing a few hours. Kids will enjoy feeding the giant catfish and seeing the storks and monitor lizards. And the mall has a kiddies playground and a good selection of electronic goods shops.
For children who want to practice their creativity skills, Batik painting is available at the Kuala Lumpur Handicraft Complex or they could try their hand at making a pewter bowl at the Royal Selangor Pewter Factory.
KL Tower is the best place to take kids for a fine view of the city. At the foot of the tower lies Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, an area of rainforest right in the heart of KL where children can explore the nature trails or try out the outdoor exercise area.
If you are in Malaysia with kids you must not miss the beach. Are there any children who do not enjoy the beach? See my beaches section for some great places where kids can play sandcastles, swim, snorkel and more.
Sometimes it is hard these days to get kids interested in nature and the great outdoors. Even if they are interested, the weather in Malaysia is not always suitable for outdoor activities. A violent thunderstorm or a particularly scorching day can force all of us indoors. In that case the kids might prefer to go to a shopping mall. There are some excellent malls in Malaysia with kids in mind. In addition to shopping and the kids favourite eating places, malls often have entertainment such as cinemas, ten pin bowling or ice skating.
Top malls with entertainment include:
. Suria KLCC
. Mid Valley
. Berjaya Times Square (includes Berjaya Times Square Theme Park, formerly Cosmo's World)
. The Curve
. Alamanda
. Sunway Pyramid (ice skating)
. Empire Subang (they have just installed Asia's longest slide).
