The Snow Brideby Debbie Macomber
A Snowbound Christmas... A second-chance bride!Practical Jenna Campbell has done something impractical. She's met a man on the Internet and now, a month before Christmas, she's going to Alaska to marry him. Dalton Gray seems to be everything she wants in a husband-sensitive, gallant, romantic....On the flight to Fairbanks, she has the misfortune to sit beside Reid Jamison, who obviously isn't sensitive, gallant or romantic. However, he's not impressed with her plan to marry Dalton, a man he detests (for good reason, as Jenna later finds out). So Reid takes it upon himself to change her destination-and her marriage plans.Which is why Jenna ends up at Reid's cabin in tiny Snowbound, Alaska. It's currently a one-woman town (and the other woman's out of town). That leaves Reid, a bunch of eccentric old men, a few grizzly bears-and Jenna. Kidnapped! And then there's a blizzard. The two of them alone, stranded in Snowbound...Hmm. Maybe she'll be a Christmas bride, after all!

Starlightby Debbie Macomber
One of cherished author Debbie Macomber's classic novels, an enchanting tale of a love that is challenged at every turn, is available for the first time in decades--and exclusively as an eBook. At a magical Christmas fete, Karen McAlister meets a man she cannot ignore--the first man to interest her in a long while. Before she laid eyes on Rand Prescott, Karen would have said her life was complete and content . . . much to the dismay of her widowed father, who would love to see her married and settled. But everything changed that enchanted night: The stars, the moonlight, the music, and the champagne all conspired to throw two people together. But the fates are determined to pull them apart. Long ago, Rand Prescott erected a steel façade around his heart. He never had any intention of maintaining any kind of relationship with a woman. Independent, proud, and nearly blind, Rand felt he had no capacity to return a woman's love. But that was before he met Karen. In one night, she shattered all of his preconceived ideas about romance and threatened to break through his walls. Rand is convinced that Karen deserves better than the love of a blind man. Can he ever accept this beguiling woman into his life--and into his soul? "It's impossible not to cheer for Macomber's characters. . . . When it comes to creating a special place and memorable, honorable characters, nobody does it better than Macomber."--BookPage

There's Something About Christmasby Debbie Macomber
Emma Collins has always believed that the world is divided into two kinds of people: those who love fruitcake and those who don't. She's firmly in the second category, so it's ironic that her first major assignment for the Puyallup, Washington, Examiner is a series of articles about. . . fruitcake. At least it's a step up from writing obituaries. Her task is to interview the finalists in a fruitcake recipe contest, and that means traveling around the state. Actually. . . flying around the state. Local pilot Oliver Hamilton, who's starting an airfreight business, has agreed to take her wherever she needs to go, in exchange for free advertising. Unfortunately Emma hates small planes - almost as much as she hates fruitcake. But in the weeks leading up to Christmas, Emma falls for Oliver (who's not quite the Scrooge he sometimes seems) and his mutt, Oscar (who's allergic to her perfume, which makes him sneeze repeatedly). And she meets three wise women who know a lot about fruitcake - and even more about life. It all reminds her that there's something about Christmas. Something special. . .

Home Remedies for Urinary Tract Infections
Water, berries and herbs go a long way in curing UTIs. Find out more…
If you use the right methods and also do it regularly then, natural cures and home remedies are enough to cure urinary tract infections. Here are some natural cures to help you if you are suffering from one.
Don't stop drinking water just because urinating pains during the infection. In fact holding the urine in the bladder will promote further bacterial growth. So drink lots of water as there is nothing which is better than water to flush out the toxins, microorganisms and the bacteria from the system. It is truly a very good cure for UTIs.
Cranberries have been known for a log time to cure urinary tract infections. Its juice is really an effective cure. Just make sure that you are having the real fresh juice and not a packaged one, Also avoid diluting it with too much water. Do not add sugar to the juice when drinking it.
Blueberries work well too. You could either have it straight or even make a milk and blueberry smoothie. It not only tastes good but clears up the infection effectively as well.
Pineapple is rich in Vitamin C and bromelain. While the former helps to increase your immunity, the latter reduces the inflammation caused by the infection.
Oregon grape
Oregon grape is an evergreen shrub with a lot of healing properties. It contains berberine and other alkaloids that help in killing the microorganisms that cause the infection.
Uva Ursi
This is a herb with antiseptic properties. It contains a compound called arbutin that helps to kill the bacteria from the tract walls. A tincture made with it helps to kill the bacteria that cause the infection. You could also boil some water with this and then drink it. It helps to keep the kidneys and the urinary tract clean. However, do keep in mind that when you are drinking this then do have a lot of cranberry juice with it as well. This will help to reduce the acidic content in your urine.
While wiping, women should wipe from the front to the back. This helps to avoid any bacteria from the stool from entering the tract.
In case you are suing a public toilet always clean the seat with a tissue before sitting. Else often the germs get transferred from the seats into the urinary tract. Also for similar reasons, in hotels etc it is better to use showers than sitting in a bath tub.
Vitamin C
Supplement your diet with a lot of Vitamin C. consumption of vitamin C increases the urine's acidity and thereby helps in killing the bacteria.
You could also have herbs like parsley, marshmallow, dandelion leaves etc. They are known to not only reduce the inflammation but they also soothe the infected area.
The leaves, seeds and flowers of the nasturtium plant contain naturally occurring antibiotics that also helps to cure UTIs.
The root of the horseradish, with it antibiotic properties, is also a good cure.
Just keep in mind that the moment the UTI is cured don't discontinue the remedy. Often an infection continues to be there. So get a urine test done before you decide to stop any of the remedies.
Also as last word of caution; when you are suffering from an UTI, just in case if you notice any blood, then please go to a doctor and do not try and cure yourself naturally.

I have a love / hate relationship with this category of software. I understand everyone has their own preferences; mine are more specific than most, I think. For a lot of my notes, I use something called DebriefNotes - one of the very few programs I've paid for and been happy I did. It is perfect for a lot of my needs. That said, I also have some notes I need to be able to filter, not just search. DebriefNotes won't permit the level of filtering I need, so I've checked out anything I could find. Most of them were nothing even close to what I want.
Finally, I found a program, AZZCardfile, that is almost what I need and want. Almost. But those two sticking points are driving me nuts. First, it saves all notes in a proprietary format. I hate that; I like open formats that are easily readable by half the stuff out there. Then, if you lose your license key, or whatever, you don't have to go crazy trying to figure out how to save the information you've collected. Yes, it will export to HTML and RTF - those formats are fine, but I don't want to have to remember to export each time I add information. Well, I could live with that if I have to, but the other point is the "biggie" for me.
In order to do what I want, I had to design my own system, of adding a line of coded "switches" to the end of each card's title, then I can search on any "switch" or set of them I choose. That way, I can filter out groups based on the criteria important to me, and custom design those criteria. I can even live with that; it is probably better than any predefined system for some of the things I want to do. The trouble is, I don't want to have those stupid lines of code printing with each card's title if I print them out. I'd like something just like this, but with a second "title bar" - one that can be filtered, separately OR in combination with the title (two filters, both operate to filter the list, but if one is blank it does not filter at all) but that remains hidden EXCEPT when the user chooses to create / edit it.
Does something that can do just this even exist? The thing would be a great, flexible tool for authors, researchers, what have you if only it didn't have those two annoying properties. (Even better, from my point of view, would be one that does all this does, saves in RTF or HTML or some other common format, and that allows any number of user-defined, hidden checkboxes that can be used to filter. Much less work, but I fear that would be too much to hope for... I've got to learn coding myself, so I can write the custom stuff I want and can't find.)

Nick Cannon Says Mariah Told Him: "I Didn't Sign Up To Be On 'Love & Hip Hop'"
Has American Idol turned into 'ratchet' TV?
Over the past few weeks, Mariah and Nicki Minaj has turnt things back up again by shading each other on the judges panel, and Nicki even took it to Twitter by posting that Mariah was 'bitter and insecure'. Although Mariah hasn't responded to Nicki's tweets just yet, her hubby Nick Cannon definitely isn't afraid to speak on her behalf.
This week, he visited KTLA News in Los Angeles to talk about the on-going feud between Mariah and Nicki and he claimed that Mariah has way too much going on in her career to feed into the beef that he believes the "AI" producers are supporting. He also said Mariah knew there was going to be drama with Nicki from the start, and she told him, "I didn't sign up to be on Love & Hip Hop."
On Mariah Warning the Producers That She & Nicki Might Have Drama
The amazing thing is that my wife, foreseeing all of this, tried to tell the network. She said, 'I don't think this is going to work, I'm afraid.'" She said, "I don't need this. I'm doing this for the brand of 'American Idol,'" which she has been a fan of and [she] loves the show, but [they're] kind of gonna take this in the wrong direction like one of those reality shows. She's said, "'I didn't sign up to be on "Love & Hip Hop."'"
On Whether Or Not He Thinks The Producers Are Adding Fuel to the Fire
That's the thing. My wife has been taking the high road, trying her best to just take it, but it feels like the producers and everybody else wants to just play into the sound bites and stuff like that. It's unfortunate."
On If He Thinks Mariah Will Do "American Idol" Again
She just released a single today that is all of the place called "#Beautiful." She's so focused on her music and what she really loves to do, and that's why she did "American Idol" in the first place. Like, "Oh, I'm a lover of singers and music," so, it's a time where she has so many amazing things going on in her life. If there's something unstable…if they get it stable, she might relook, but nobody wants to be apart of anything that's unstable.
Watch Nick come to his wife's defense below:
Do you think this is all done for ratings?
There used to be a time when everyone knew all of the names of the contestants but it seems as though the judges are talked about more than the aspiring singers that are competing. What does Simon have to say about all of this?

Medical director: NY ambulance review board has no teeth
Stopped going to meetings when told board had no regulatory capability
By Matthew Spina
Buffalo News
BUFFALO, N.Y. — By some accounts, Buffalo's Emergency Medical Services Board lacks the teeth to demand a higher level of ambulance service in the city.
"We really didn't have any regulatory or punitive action that we could take," said Dr. Joseph Takats, an emergency physician who also serves as medical director for Twin City Ambulance.

"Life is meant to be lived artistically; for without art, life lacks romance, beauty, and grace.
Art, even in its simplest of forms, encompasses all that life should be." --Loribeth Clark, Artist
Art, even in its simplest of forms, encompasses all that life should be." --Loribeth Clark, Artist
Quick note about the artist...
I've been an artist all my life. I'm self-taught, having only taken one art class in my entire life, so what I do comes naturally. I didn't always appreciate this ability and actually ignored it for many years, but now it is as much a part of my life as breathing and loving my family. Every piece, whether it is a watercolor, acrylic, or digital composition, is created with love and the desire to make something beautiful.
Living Artistically ...because Life is lived in the Moments!
It's not just a philosophy. It is my way of life. I love life and everything it has to offer. Life isn't lived in the big moments. Life is lived in the small moments that become cherished memories when they reflect your values and are appreciated for their unique familiarity.
When your home is designed around your values, it becomes a beautiful place to live, life suddenly seems easier, and you naturally want to bring more beauty into it. That's where art and design come together.
A life filled with romance, beauty and grace is attained by making everything in your life reflect what you love and creating a lifetime of moments worth remembering.
That is living artistically.
I truly believe that life is meant to be lived artistically, and I believe it is in reach for everyone. I define myself as a romanticist in life, and that translates into my work as an artist and decorator. Join me as I share my passion...

Hillcat Softballers Sweep Pittsburg State
Rogers State delivered walk-off home runs in back-to-back games to defeat Pittsburg State twice by run-rule at Hillcat Field on Wednesday.
The Hillcats broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning of Game 1 with five runs, highlighted by a three-run homer from freshman Kelli Dunagan. Senior Denise Garcia added a three-run blast in the bottom of the fifth to make it an 8-0 lead and halt the game via the run-rule. Garcia was 2-for-3 for the game with five RBI. Sophomore Randi Tyler went 2-for-2 with a double. Dunagan pitched a five-inning complete game and allowed just two hits to record the shutout victory.
In Game 2 the Hillcats picked up right where they left in Game 1 as Megan Wood led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo home run. RSU added three runs on four hits in the third inning to stretch the lead to 4-0. Three Hillcat errors in the top of the fifth allowed Pitt State to score its first two runs of the game and cut the lead in half, 4-2. However, RSU responded with five runs in the fifth and shut the door with a three-run sixth. Freshman Sydni Jones cranked her second long ball of the season in the sixth to end the game via the run-rule again, 12-3. Jones finished the game 3-for-3 with a double, a home run and two runs scored. Wood also tallied three hits as Stephanie Eggers pitched six innings to earn the win.
Coach Dawn Reed's club improved to 15-6 with the series sweep. The Hillcats will face Division 1 opponent University of San Diego at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater on Sunday. First pitch is slated for 10:30 a.m.

To the Editor:
So the Supreme Court decided that closely held corporations are entitled to religious beliefs, and that the civil government cannot force them to violate those beliefs by paying for drugs that kill babies.
This decision, seen by some as favoring Christianity, has upset many advocates of the other major religion in America Secularism. I believe this decision is a step towards leveling the playing field in our ongoing cultural dialogue.
We are told by some that by deciding not to pay for the abortion drugs, these companies are forcing their religion on their employees.
But doesnt this cut both ways?
By forcing these corporations to pay for these abortion drugs, isnt the federal government forcing its religion on the corporations?
Isnt it just as much a forcing-of-religion to require as to deny?
The truth is that religion is inescapable because law is religious (and anarchy is religious too.)
Every ought or ought not comes from a conviction about what is or is not good. It is no less religious to define good by popular opinion or progressive doctrines than to define it by appeal to the Word of God.
By narrowly defining religion as a set of beliefs that must include a deity, Secularists have long claimed the high ground in our national dialogue about what is and is not good.
If your beliefs are rooted in the revealed will of any kind of god, they have been denied a place in our public discourse about what is and is not good for the nation.
In this way a new religion has gradually taken control of our nation and our lives.
This decision begins to turn this around, and the Secularists are screaming foul.

Amazing Brush
Par MEREDITH
de Chatham-Kent
This is the first high end brush I've bought. I was on the fence for a while due to the cost but believe me when I say that it is totally worth it! I have lots of lower end, cheap, drug store brushes and there is no comparison. After using the IT Cosmetics brush I actually can't believe I used those other rough brushes on my face for so long.This brush is dense yet soft. I have used it with both liquid and powder foundations and it does a wonderful job with both. Highly recommend this brush.
En résumé

My go to liquid brush everyday. I've tried many nothing compares to this brush
Softest Brush in the World
Par TSC Princess
de Mississauga
I have very sensitive skin so I was skeptical to try this brush out. After trying it, I am pleased to say that the bush provides high quality coverage and blends my foundation very well. I also use it to blend out my Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer. With this brush, I have noticed a little product goes a long way with this brush. The hairs on this brush are sooooo soft. I went ahead and got another one as well because I use two different foundations.

Par Pay It Forward
de Moncton, NB
No question this brush is a 5 star rating...have had it for a year and it`s the best brush that I use. Foundation goes on smoothly ......makeup is perfect each and every time...
The Best Brush EVER!
Par TK
de Calgary, Alberta
This Cosmetic Flat top Foundation Brush is the BOMB!!! I can't believe how soft it is and application goes on evenly and naturally.Everyone is missing out on this if you don't own one. Please do yourself a favor and invest in this one brush. I guarantee you will order more of the other brushes in the collection. It is totally worth it... after all, it is your face!
Best Makeup Brush ever

perfect brush for powder foundation
Par Mariella99
de Ontario
I received this brush in the most recent (May 2013) Showstopper, with the accompanying Celebration Foundation. This brush is absolutely perfect for applying the product. It is firm yet not harsh or scratchy and the 2 products used together give the most natural and flattering results just as quickly and easily as Jamie makes it look on tv.
Great Brush
Par Lady D
de Winnipeg Manitoba
This brush is great. It's very soft on the skin, and blends beautifully. I don't get stray bristles on my skin like some other brushes, so it appears to be well made too.
Addicting brushes!
Par Colette
de Medicine Hat, Alberta
IT cosmetics has the BEST brushes on the market in my opinion. They are soft, supple, and make the makeup application a breeze.
Must Have Brush
Par Reena
de BC
This brush is amazing. It blends and buffs my Celebration Foundation on my face flawlessly. I showed it to my girlfriend who only buys high end brushes and she was amazed that it was a cruelty free brush as the quality was superb. Next visit that IT Cosmetics makes to TSC she will be ordering it. Thanks Jamie for making the best products that are cruelty free.

So, I'm planning a run-though of Pearl with a themed party, Canine Pokemon.
I plan on playing normally until I can access the union room, then using a second DS available to me, trade my party (freshly hatched at lvl 1 or so I think) over from SS.
Have any of you ever done this, or something similar? Any tips for me?

A couple of sunsets
This is a one second exposure taken along the shore in East Wenatchee. Many layers of thin clouds have made the sunsets pretty spectacular. I try to go out and find a good location while the sun is still above the horizon...and then I wait. There's a brief period of time when the colors really shine and then it quickly fades to grey black mixture.
However, sometimes if you wait until the sun is well down, you can get some great results with a longer exposure and a higher ISO.
This image was taken at the Relay for Life in East Wenatchee at about 10:15. With the longer exposure I still get light from the West and some stars shining through even with the city lights and clouds.
This shot was taken from Horse Lake road. Sunsets and sunrises are quirky shots. Sometimes it looks as if you have all the ingredients for a dazzling shot and it quickly fades or doesn't appear at all. But every once in a while...it works! Always use a tripod to shoot dawn and dusk shots!

America can – and should – more fully tap into our abundant energy resources while protecting our environment. But that doesn't' mean we should "drill, baby, drill" off our state's coast.
Unfortunately, though, many South Carolinians now support that misguided notion. For instance, Don Weaver, president of the South Carolina Association of Taxpayers, advocates offshore drilling here and appeals for South Carolina to follow Texas' lead on promoting energy production. He hails the booming-economy fuel that flows from it in the Lone Star State.
However, the Palmetto State's economy remains heavily dependent on tourism. And many of those tourism dollars flow into this state thanks to our relatively pristine coast.
Last week, the U.S. House passed a bill to offer drilling leases off the coasts of Virginia, South Carolina and California. The legislation has scant chance of becoming law. And experts project that there isn't much natural gas – or oil – off our state's coast.
Yet drilling operations – and drilling accidents – would seriously jeopardize South Carolina's top tourist attraction.
So you can – and should – be both for increased overall U.S. domestic energy production and against S.C. offshore drilling.
Yes, President Barack Obama is being shortsighted in his opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada's tar sands to the Gulf of Mexico.
And though America – and the world – should take practical steps to limit greenhouse gas emissions, the "Climate Action Plan" that the president pitched last week sounds, due to its severe restrictions on coal plants, like a job-killing plan. Coal remains one of America's most abundant natural resources. Abruptly, steeply and unilaterally reducing coal-powered electricity in this country while China and India keep steeply increasing their use of it would have negligible impact on global carbon emissions. But it would inflict severely negative consequences on a still-struggling American economy.
While President Obama has frequently boasted about a major boost in U.S. oil production during his White House tenure, that occurred despite – not because of – his administration's policies. Oil permits and production on federal lands have dropped significantly over the past five years. It's the drilling on private lands that has made the U.S. much less dependent on foreign oil.
None of that, though, warrants drilling off of South Carolina's coast.
Again, there's a common-sense middle ground of energy policies that balance utilization of our nation's resources and protection of our environment.
And in our state, that economic balancing act should safeguard our thriving coastal tourist trade from the hazards of offshore drilling.

By clicking Submit, you accept the Adobe Terms of Use.
You already know that Fireworks is a great application for preparing web-ready photographs but how are you going to present all those images on a web page? Long web pages filled with photographs are slow to load and provide a less-than-optimal experience.
With Adobe Fireworks CS3 and the new Create Slideshow command, you can improve the experience and create a professional-looking slideshow in three steps. You just select an image folder, add transitions, and choose a template for the final output. Fireworks automatically batch-processes the required thumbnail and full-size images for size and image optimization. Additionally, with Fireworks CS3, you have a choice of five Flash-based players and one player that uses the Spry framework to produce an Ajax-enabled slideshow. No knowledge of Flash or Spry is required.
You can preview the Flash-based slideshows in any browser (on your computer) before being uploaded to a web server. The Spry player uses the Spry framework to produce an XML-based slideshow. You simply choose the Spry template for the final output and then upload the resulting folder and files to your web server for viewing.
You can use the sample ZIP file accompanying this article to create a slideshow in Fireworks CS3.
Figure 1 shows the Dreamworld – Green (Flash) player, which you will use in this tutorial. Several other players may be chosen from the pop-up menu. Notice that the "info" button lights up when you switch player types. This lets you know whether a player supports all or just some of the features. For example, Dreamworld supports all, but choose Player Black and you will see that the info button next to the pop-up menu lights up. Click it and it launches brief notes about the player.
The images provided in the slideshow_images.zip file were taken with a small digital camera on an ocean fishing trip, so we'll call this AlbumBook Fishing and the description will be My Fishing Trips (see Figure 2).
Check the Auto-start Slideshow option to make the slideshow automatically start when a viewer opens the index.html page. You can also click the Allow Clicking Images option if you want viewers to be able to click an image to download it.
Open the Album Properties panel in the accordion panel. Before you set the album properties, you will need to add an album. Select the plus (+) button (see Figure 3).
You will be presented with a choice to use all of the images which are currently open in Fireworks (see Figure 4). Click OK. If you have not already opened all the images, you can do so at this time.
The title and folder name are initially created from the name of the folder containing the open images. However, you can change these later. When you click the folder name, you will see the list of images displayed (see Figure 5).
Note: If you would like to modify or optimize images before you create a slideshow, open the Image Editing panel in Fireworks CS3 and make the necessary tweaks.
For the album properties, type Orange Beach for the Title and orangebeach1 for the folder name. For a description, use Deep Sea fishing with Orange Beach Charter. You will notice that this also changes the names on the left side of the panel (see Figure 6). Choose one of the images to use as a thumbnail.
Open the Captions panel in the accordion panel. For this album you will use one caption for all of the images (see Figure 7). If you want unique captions for each picture, just click and type in a caption next to the filename for each image.
Open the Filters panel in the accordion panel. Several filters, such as convert to Sepia Tone, are available to further enhance your slideshow. For this slideshow we will not apply special filters, so just leave the default "--Choose filter--" selected (see Figure 8).
Open the Slideshow Properties panel in the accordion panel. Several choices are available. You can set a time interval and apply it to all the albums in the AlbumBook. There are also several types of transitions available, and you can choose to scramble the display sequence. For this slideshow, leave the default settings selected (see Figure 9).
Open the Export Options panel in the accordion panel. Leave the default settings selected. For the Export path, browse and choose the folder that contains the slideshow files that you downloaded at the beginning of the tutorial. Click the Create button (see Figure 10).
You will be presented with an option to launch the slideshow in a browser. When the processing has reached 100%, click the box to launch the slideshow in the browser and click the Close button (see Figure 11).
You will now see a preview of your finished slideshow (see Figure 12).
If you want to edit or make corrections to an existing slideshow, you can do it now or at a later time. For example, changing the Description to Ocean Fishing might be more appropriate (see Figure 13).
Also, you might decide that your seasick fishing buddy might not wish to be included in your slideshow. You can easily remove that image (see Figure 14). You can add images just as easily, and change the picture order, by clicking the up and down arrow buttons.
Note: Unfortunately, at this time it is not possible to edit the transition properties after the slideshow is created.
After you make these changes, click Create again and you will be asked if you want to overwrite the previous slideshow. Click OK to save your changes and view the modified slideshow (see Figure 15).
When you use the new Fireworks CS3 Create Slideshow panel to make a slideshow, you have a choice between Flash- and Spry-based players. How to choose?
For years, designers and developers have used Flash to add animation and interactivity to web pages. More recently, developers use Flash to build and deliver rich Internet applications (RIAs), which typically transfer the processing necessary for the user interface to the browser and keep the bulk of the data back on the server.
Flash files require that the viewer have Flash Player installed. This is Adobe's free client-side runtime. More information, read Introducing Adobe Flash Player 9 by Emmy Huang.
The Spry version of the Fireworks slideshow template uses a JavaScript library to produce an XML-based photo gallery. Ajax, an acronym for "asynchronous JavaScript and XML," is useful for updating data on web pages without requiring visible refreshes—thus providing users with a richer experience.
One advantage of using Ajax is that it does not require proprietary add-on technologies such as Flash, ActiveX, and Java client-side engines. Since some users avoid add-ons for security reasons, the use of the Spry framework for Ajax could increase the number of people who view your slideshow.
For more information about Spry, visit the Spry framework for Ajax technology page on Adobe Labs and read Introducing the Spry framework for Ajax by Paul Gubbay.
Whether you choose Flash or Spry, creating a slideshow in Fireworks CS3 is a snap! You simply collect the images and Fireworks does all the rest. What could be simpler?
You might want to explore some other uses of slideshows besides simply displaying a series of digital images. There are many interesting possibilities:
I am sure that you will be able to think of many more uses for this great new feature in Fireworks CS3. Let me know what you discover!

Yesterday, China announced that it is investing $3 billion of its foreign exchange reserves in the Blackstone Group, a New York private equity firm. The investment gives Beijing a potentially higher return on its $1.2 trillion of reserves, which are currently invested mostly in low-yielding debt instruments.
There are few coincidences involving China, and the timing of the announcement comes at a crucial time in Sino-American relations. A large Chinese delegation arrives in Washington this week for the second round of the Strategic Economic Dialogue. It will have limited flexibility and, as I explained in an earlier post, will not be able to make many concessions to the United States. This is also a politically sensitive moment within China, on account of the 17th Communist Party Congress, which will be held later this year.
The Chinese have tried to lower the temperature before the Washington talks. They went on a buying spree of U.S. products recently—a tactic employed in the past—and on Friday they marginally loosened controls on the renminbi to defuse anger in Congress over their rigging of their currency. These maneuvers are transparent and will not help Beijing alter its well-deserved image as a trade outlaw. But the Chinese apparently think that the Blackstone investment could change the political calculus in this country—they rushed to close the deal before the talks, putting it together in just three weeks. It's not far-fetched to see in this an attempt by Beijing to use its mountain of foreign cash to buy influence.
The investment in the Blackstone Group will not be as sensitive as China's attempt, in 2005, to buy Unocal. Nonetheless, it may be more significant, foreshadowing a trend. As Xinhua, Beijing's official news agency, stated earlier this year, China's foreign-exchange reserves are sufficient to "buy Microsoft, Citibank, and Exxon Mobil Corp., as well as General Motors and Ford." This is a good time to begin thinking about how much of corporate America should be owned by this authoritarian state.

Gæran Music festival
Once a year, great magic happens in a small town in the north of Iceland called Sauðárkrókur. A storage house of a woolskin tannery factory is emptied of lamb skin rugs (Icelandic: gæra) to make way for a concert stage and a group of people, ready to have fun and listen to great music.
The music festival Gæran is much like the lamb skin rug it is named after, cosy, genuine and welcoming to all. It offers a great variety of music genre, folk, rap, rock and everything in between, so everyone can find something to their taste.
The festival
The festival is a three-day event. We start on Thursday the 13th of August 2015 with a soloist night at Mælifell, one of our local bars. There you will find an easy going pub atmosphere with great music from a variety of solo musicians. A lovely start to a weekend of pure enjoyment.
The main events of the festival take place on Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th in Loðskinn, the tannery factory that inspired this whole event. The storage house will be empty of any woolskin to make way for musicians and music enthusiasts, but the atmosphere will be enough to charm any sheep out of its hide!
The music that will be heard at Gæran is from a great variety. A blend of local musicians, smaller bands and renowned performers is what we offer. In the past we've had musicians such as singer/songwriter Eivør Palsdottir from the Faroe Islands and many other great artists. We can promise great music, something fresh, something local and some of the best performers Iceland has to offer.
Tickets / Line-up
Tickets will be announced soon. Tickets can also be bought on site at the festival weekend, in case of a spontaneous need for great music and even better company!
On February 5 was opened for applications to get to play at the festival and will be open for application March 22, 2015.
Sauðárkrókur, the home of Gæran, is a charming little town in the north of Iceland. Imagine the past clashing with the present, the town clashing with the countryside, and there you have Sauðárkrókur.
The town has everything you need, supermarkets, a pool, camping sites, restaurants, and last but not least, bars. Sauðárkrókur even has a real old fashion shopkeeper on the corner. In his store you can buy everything from gasoline and garden gloves to chocolate cakes and kitchen appliances.
The area takes pride in supreme horse breeding, singing (we have proportionally the greatest number of choirs in Iceland, possibly in Europe!) and beautiful scenery. Take note of the islands you can see from the coast, each of them has a big role in the folklore of the area (one is cursed, one is the capital of elves in Iceland, and one cannot be christened, because evil creatures also need a home).
