5 Views on Job Flexibility
We began a conversation last month about whether or not "women can have it all." Is it possible for a woman to achieve a balance between her career ambition and her ambitions at home without becoming an emotional pretzel? In this week's MAKERS playlist, 5 MAKERS from fields ranging from politics to technology to law to advertising to entertainment share thoughts on workplace flexibility-- length of workday, work week, and family leave, as we continue to examine the modern working woman.
1) Kirsten Gillibrand, United States Senator New York
"I feel really lucky. I can set my schedule."
Gillibrand revealed to MAKERS that she finds herself in a situation not available to most working parents – the ability to set her own schedule around her parental needs, which she considers a "luxury."
2) Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook
"I walk out of this office every day at 5:30, so I'm home for dinner at 6."
Sandberg has publicly shared that she has one particular job mandate— that she make it home for dinner with her family. In order to maintain that schedule, she often must begin work at 5:30 am. But it appears to work for her.
3) Mae O'Malley, Founder and Managing Attorney, Paragon Legal
"Less than 20% of big law firm partners are women, and I think a lot of that is that you can't raise kids and be a partner in a law firm."
For O'Malley, a flexible work schedule was a non-negotiation. That was the arrangement she demanded in order to raise her kids. After working as virtual counsel for technology firms, which allowed her, like Gillibrand, to make her own schedule, O'Malley opened Paragon Legal in 2006 in order to provide the same alternative scheduling solutions to other legal professionals, many of which are also working mothers.
4) Shelly Lazarus, Chairman Emeritus, Ogilvy & Mather
"There are so many couples where they sort of alternate careers, where one is on the fast track and the other's staying home, and then they alternate."
Lazarus, who spent 40-plus years at Ogilvy & Mather, shared with MAKERS her thoughts on how the new generation of working women manage work and family by way of "episodic" work schedules, and suggests maintaining a work-life balance today may really be about balancing one's work schedules with one's partner.
5) Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Filmmaker & Advocate
"Until our country addresses the fact that 70% of working women are working mothers or until we celebrate and encourage more men to play a larger role in parenting, which countries like Norway do, I think we aren't going to make any progress."
Lastly, Miss Representation director Siebel Newsom shares her opinion on how we handle family leave in this country.

Zirconia Crowns
We have several pages of highly worthwhile information on zirconia crowns and veneers. After you're through with this page, you can also find more information on Zirconia Bridges here. Or go to the menu at the bottom of the page to find a specific subject in which you are interested.
One of the exciting new areas of cosmetic dental materials is the development of zirconium ceramics. Dr. Arthur Chal has been placing the new Zeno zirconia crowns and veneers, with fabulous results.
There are a number of zirconia crown systems being used. Dr. Chal and his technician investigated all of them before deciding on the Zeno system. The reasons for their choice? First, Zeno is a outstanding product from a German dental technology company, Wieland Dental, with a long-standing reputation for quality, durability, and beauty in dental ceramics. Second, the technology of the product is extremely advanced. The restorations are milled to a tolerance of 20 microns, half the thickness of a human hair. This technology is so sophisticated that it is embargoed from being exported to dangerous countries.
These crowns and veneers are exquisitely beautiful. Here is a photograph of crowns on front teeth, demonstrating the range of colors and translucencies of the material.
Advantages of Zeno zirconia veneers and crowns, compared to other high-strength ceramics, such as Lava:
- The material is manufactured by Wieland Dental, a German company with a long-standing reputation for beautiful quality ceramics.
- Zeno is considerably stronger than Lava or any other ceramic.
- Zeno can be milled to an accuracy of 20 microns. Since it fits the tooth so precisely, the cement line, which is the weak link in any ceramic system, is extremely thin, making for a very long-lasting restoration.
Zeno crowns are made from zirconium dioxide (zirconia), a high-strength ceramic material which is used in other high-tech applications, such as in the aerospace industry. It is often referred to as "ceramic steel" because of its high tensile strength. It needs no metal framework. It is also extremely biocompatible, virtually eliminating the risk of allergic reactions. Similar materials are used in hip replacements.
But more than strong, it is also beautiful. It has excellent translucency, as you can see in the photograph above, and so it will allow light to be transmitted through the material, drawing color from the underlying tooth structure, and mimicking the natural beauty of teeth.
As we explain elsewhere on this site, Dr. Chal is extremely quality conscious, and when he places these restorations on patients, he has them made to exacting standards using his on-site dental laboratory, by his master ceramist, Rick Durkee, CDT, AAACD.

Content descriptions
| "Drew Karpyshyn has made his mark with imaginative, action-packed work on several acclaimed videogames, including Mass Effect and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, as well as in a succession of New York Times bestselling tie-in novels. Now Karpyshyn introduces a brilliantly innovative epic fantasy of perilous quests, tormented heroes, and darkest sorcery--a thrilling adventure that vaults him into the company of such authors as Terry Goodkind, Brandon Sanderson, and Peter V. Brett. Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy--a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create. Now the Legacy is fading. On the other side, the banished Daemron stirs. And across the scattered corners of the land, four children are born of suffering and strife, each touched by one aspect of Daemron himself--wizard, warrior, prophet, king. Bound by a connection deeper than blood, the Children of Fire will either restore the Legacy or bring it crashing down, freeing Daemron to wreak his vengeance upon the mortal world"-- Provided by publisher.

[BRAZIL 2014] Bastian Schweinsteiger, considered one of the keys to Germany's World Cup chances, says the knee injury that kept him out of Saturday's German Cup final won't keep him out of the World Cup. Nor should the shin injury German captain Phillip Lahm picked up in the match won by Bayern Munich, 2-0, in overtime over Borussia Dortmund.
Schweinsteiger said he will be fit despite missing Bayern Munich's 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund after an inflamed left
knee limited his training time. He'll report to the German training camp that begins Wednesday in northern Italy and will be followed by matches against Cameroon and Armenia. "I am on my way to full
recovery," he told reporters. "It looks much better. For the World Cup there are no concerns."
Lahm went off after a half hour in Berlin, but Germany coach Joachim Loew reported afterward that he had spoken with Lahm, who told him the injury was not serious. "We assume he will be at 100 percent on Wednesday when we meet up," said Loew.
The status of Schweinsteiger and Lahm will be closely watched as Dortmund's Ilkay Gundogan, another of Germany's top defensive midfielders, is
out of the World Cup, while Real Madrid's Sami Khedira is just coming back from a knee injury. Lahm was moved from outside back to defensive midfield this season at Bayern and has
said he'd like to play there for Germany.
World Cup Warmups ...
NETHERLANDS-ECUADOR. Robin van Persie's sensational volley in the 37th minute was the only goal the Netherlands mustered, but saved
the Oranje from an embarrassing defeat at home as it opened its final preparations for the World Cup with a 1-1 tie with fellow finalist Ecuador in Amsterdam.
World Cup: Friendly Schedule
Jefferson Montero had given Ecuador an eighth-minute lead against the Oranje, which was missing Arjen Robben (playing in the German Cup final) and
Wesley Sneijder. Coach Louis Van Gaal started a backline with an average age of 21.5: the Feyenoord trio of Stefan de Vrij, Bruno Martins Indi and Terence Kongolo, plus Ajax's Joel Veltman.
The game did not bring good news for Ecuador fans, though. Felipe Caicedo, who set up Montero's
goal, had to be stretchered off, and his replacement, Armando Wila, also had to leave the game with thigh injury.
World Cup 2014 Squads:

POLICE PRESSURE MOUNTS. The closer it gets to the start of the World Cup, and the more Brazilian workers are striking. Army troops
had to be brought into Recife, site of the USA's match against Germany at Arena Pernambuco, after city police went on strike and shops and supermarkets were ransacked. The same thing had earlier
happened in Salvador.
"They are obviously using the proximity of the World Cup to pressure us to give into their demands," government spokesperson Manoel
Guimaraes for the state of Pernambuco said. The striking 20,000 police officers returned to work
on Friday.
Bus drivers and conductors have conducted work stoppages in
Rio de Janeiro, forcing commuters to find alternative ways to get to and from work. Others who have gone on strike included museum workers, architects, engineers and geologists.

Yesterday was rough for me, you guys.
I went to bed on Tuesday night knowing that the North Carolina dumbfuckery was not going to go away. I woke in the morning to have that horror confirmed, and as I drove into work listening to what CV Rick so eloquently described as "hate mongering redneck retards" spouting their nonsense about how much God cares about marriage and about how happy they are to be enshrining hate and bigotry into their constitution, I started to feel pretty awful.
What I'm seeing – and I'm actually seeing it; this isn't just me being reactionary or overly sensitive – is a concerted effort on the part of some very powerful people to infringe, limit, or outright destroy the rights of whole huge swaths of people. Women. Queer folk (not just gays and lesbians, but transgender people, too). Immigrants. Students. Poor people. Unionized workers. Honestly; the only people who aren't under fire are rich, white people.
If someone asked me to identify myself, the first labels I would reach for to convey to you who I am are "wife, mother, and teacher." All of those things are central to my being, and all of those things inform the ways I approach issues of policy (and, not for nothing, basic human dignity). I am very wrapped up in my role as a caregiver and a teacher; nurture and guidance are both ever-present activities for me, and I understand that my ability to do those things mindfully and generously really do affect the people in my sphere. I care about how well I do my job because I know my job has an impact on how well my babies (both biological and academic) will be prepared to survive in the world on their own.
Yesterday, though? Yesterday was too much for me. At about 10:30, I completely lost my already tenuous hold on my proverbial cookies, and I found myself weeping in my boss's office. I wasn't able to regain sufficient control of myself to stay at school, and I was fortunate that my teaching responsibilities ended at about 11:00, so my boss was able to send me home.
I cried in the car all the way home. My husband came home for lunch with flowers and chocolate, and I wept on his shoulder for 15 minutes. When my girls came home at 2:30, they found me on the couch and the sight of them starting me crying again. I ended up on my neighbor's porch at about 3:00, finally able to articulate where all this raw and painful and frightened was coming from.
I am sending all of my children into a world that tells them, to varying degrees, that they are unworthy, unlovable, and undeserving of basic human dignity. In the short time I have with them, I have to give them the tools they need to become thoughtful critical analysts so they can think through all the pernicious lies and malignant bullshit being fed to them as "fact." In the short time I have with them, I need to build up their self-esteem so that they'll question when someone in positions of power tells them that they're not capable of making their own choices, that they don't deserve a vote, or that their neighbors pose a clear and present danger to them. In the short time I have with them, I need to instill a sense of both agency and responsibility that motivates them to participate actively in a system that seems hell-bent on keeping them uninformed and disenfranchised. In the short time I have with them, I need to make them believe that they are good people; capable, wonderful, loving, and compassionate people who are agents for good in the world.
I don't have enough time, and that thought is what paralyzed me yesterday. I need more time, because it seems pretty clear to me that the world isn't getting any less hateful.

Ezra Cohen, born in 1993 in New York City, is a contemporary artist known for his large, vibrant abstract paintings. His uniquely informed approach to color and composition have attracted the attention to designers and collectors globally.
At the age of 16, Cohen began studying at the Art Students League of New York under Abstract Expressionist artist Knox Martin. Martin is one of the remaining members of the New York School, which came to prominence in the mid 1940s as action painting was changing the course of American art. Cohen's paintings channel elements of the iconic energy attributed to the Abstract Expressionists while their distinct sophistication of palate distinguish them as uniquely Cohen's . As Martin's teachings encouraged Cohen to explore art across time, the artist has turned to the works of earlier masters, from Titian to Matisse, for inspiration.
Cohen's paintings have been exhibited in numerous New York art shows and open studios. In 2013, Cohen created a pop-up exhibition, "Paint on Canvas." At what would be a sold out show, his works caught the public eye of collectors and curators. Today, Cohen has work represented in over 30 collections across the United States and Europe. In 2015, Cohen was awarded the Fantasy Fountain Fund Scholarship to attend an art residency at the Marchutz School in Aix en Provence, France. A member of the Art Students League of New York, he continues to study under Knox Martin, and shares a studio with his longtime mentor, artist Edla Cusick, in Hell's Kitchen. Cohen has studied at NYU in the Visionary Studio Program as well as at The Fashion Institute for Technology. He is also cofounder of Work in Progress, a collective of New York City based music, video and visual artists.

If they show up daily I may not even take decoys.

Montana fisheries officials are set to embark on developing a statewide fisheries management plan that will seek to establish goals and direction for fish management, habitat protection and improvement, fishing access and angling opportunities for the next five to 10 years.
A statewide plan is essentially a "road map" for managing all of the state's fisheries, said Bruce Rich, fisheries bureau chief for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in Helena.
"The plan won't be a substitute for regulation setting, but instead will provide management direction and guidance to decision makers and the public in particular river drainages," Rich said. "It will also allow for flexibility and discretion where necessary."
A draft plan will be presented to the FWP Commission at the end of August and a final plan, based on public comment and an environmental analysis, is planned for release by year's end.
"Public participation is critical to the success of the plan," Rich said. "FWP's goal is to develop a plan with the public that will help to resolve some of the questions about suitable species for a particular drainage, desired fishing opportunities, habitat improvement priorities, and placement and development of fishing access sites."
FWP will schedule a series of public meetings in September to solicit comments on a draft plan. Updates on the planning process are available on the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov. Click "Statewide Fish Plan." For more information call FWP at (406) 444-2449.

Small Basic community member Timo Sö had a winning idea: to start a TeamChallenge competition. The challenge was to create a "Tower Defense Game" in one week. They developed their games from 12/3/2010 to 12/10/2010. Here is Timo's first Forum thread on the topic.
Here are the teams:
1. Tank Rampage Team: Math Man, Timo Sö, (3rd person dropped out)
Find the code here | Download the .RAR file
Math Man did 99% of the code. Timo created the graphics and did some small bug fixes.
2. Tankinator Team: Zock77, Cobra355, (3rd person dropped out)
Find the code here | Download the .RAR file
The game cannot be played in the gallery list. You must download it and play it locally.
Zock did 100% of the coding. Cobra helped make the turret graphics. Zock was the game designer, and Cobra had some gameplay input.
To make the graphics, they used Gimp. They made the corners transparent: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Transparent-Image-Using-Gimp
Ready to vote for your favorite game?
On that forum thread, reply with your input on which game you think is the best! The score is currently 4 to 0!
Thanks to all of the TeamChallenge members! We'll definitely see more of these in the future (Timo and Zock are already planning one for January)! You can track all the action in the Small Basic forum. I'll make the current TeamChallenge threads sticky.
What's your high score? Comment your answer below!

I was actually looking for a new Ranger but wasn't aware that they had stopped making them last year.
I thought they were still in production till this summer.
So I was looking at 5 liter STX & XLT F-150's instead, but I was not really happy with the idea of getting a truck that big, and thirsty.
The wife was pushing me to get a new car or truck to replace my 07 Ranger (115,000miles) just to play it safe because she wants us to retire this year.
If it were up to me I would have kept the 07 at least another couple of years.
If for no other reason than to see if I could beat the 302,853miles I put on the 01 Ranger it replaced.
It BTW was still running with no rust at all on it when the Kidney Fund drove it away.
So this year she got a new 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and I was 'supposed' to get a new Ranger.
But this Focus was just too much like the 'dream' Focus I built on the Ford web site to pass up.
Just wish it had come with the mud flaps instead of a moonroof, but those can be put on any time and I can get used to the glass roof.
BTW what with the badge's?
2012 Focus Titanium w/handling package, stick shift, MFT, Sony radio, Moonroof in Tuxedo Black.
2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid (wife's car) all the bells and whistles also in Tuxedo Black.

As speeches droned on in a half- deserted chamber, the prospect of real reform this session was shrivelling. The best chance of resuscitating what was to have been the centrepiece of President Bill Clinton's political programme now lies in yet another revamp of the measure, to win over an emerging group of Democrat and Republican moderates. Even so, the chances of success look slim.
A summer recess that should have started last weekend will now be delayed for a fortnight at least, and tempers are wearing thin. For most of yesterday, Republicans continued their stalling, with long floor speeches designed to waste as much time as possible. The one gleam of hope was the frantic backstage efforts to meld the watered down bill of Senate Majority leader George Mitchell now under debate, with even less ambitious proposals from the new bipartisan 'Mainstream' bloc of centrists from both parties. But one 'Mainstream' Republican said the group was still 'light years' from the Mitchell draft.
Even among themselves, Democrats are deeply divided. If Mr Mitchell makes further concessions, he risks losing the backing of liberals who insist on broad- based reform and a clear timetable for universal coverage. Further confusing matters are separate plans for a minimalist version of the bill, confined to changes in insurance that would lower rates and make it harder for insurers to refuse coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions.
Part of the problem lies in the laxer rules of the Senate, which require a 60-40 majority to push through a guillotine motion to cut off debate. Alas for Mr Mitchell, there are only 56 Democratic Senators. Republicans, always the more disciplined party, can mount filibusters to veto any controversial legislation they choose.
Anxious to avoid blame for health reform's demise, Republicans piously maintain that Healthcare is too important and complex an issue to rush. Far better to wait until next session - by which time, mid-term elections may have given Republicans outright control of the Senate. But on Monday evening, even the long- suffering Mr Mitchell's patience ran out. The Senate had the choice of starting to vote last night, or remaining in continuous session indefinitely.
At the other end of Capitol Hill, the adminstration was desperately seeking to salvage its other main legislative goal, the crime bill which the House torpedoed last Thursday. Its arithmetic is less complicated than health care, but its politics, perhaps more so.
After the 225-210 vote defeat, in which 58 Democrats voted against him, the President must persuade at least eight Congressmen to change their minds. Last night White House officials were confident they could pull it off, as Mr Clinton personally lobbied members of the House black caucus, and Chief of Staff Leon Panetta went to Capitol Hill to tackle other Democratic waverers.
The White House hopes to hold a fresh vote tomorrow and after days of emotional invective against Republicans and the National Rifle Association, Mr Clinton signalled a readiness to compromise on the dollars 33bn ( pounds 22bn) measure. But he insists the final bill must include the ban on 19 types of assault weapons which is anathema to the NRA, the 'three strikes and you're out' provision for criminals, and money for 100,000 more police. But he may have to abandon some of the socially-orientated provisions of the bill - such as the 'midnight basketball' funding which hardline Republicans love to mock.

The relevance vector machine (RVM) is a Bayesian framework for learning sparse regression models and classifiers. Despite of its popularity and practical success, no thorough analysis of its functionality exists. In this paper we consider the RVM in the case of regression models and present two kinds of analysis results: we derive a full characterization of the behavior of the RVM analytically when the columns of the regression matrix are orthogonal and give some results concerning scale and rotation invariance of the RVM. We also consider the practical implications of our results and present a scenario in which our results can be used to detect potential weakness in the RVM framework.

10 September 2007
This article is geared toward designers and developers working in the Flash authoring tool, who are looking for a solution involving no ActionScript.
Note: If you are working in Adobe Flex, or if you're looking for a more flexible and powerful (but more ActionScript-heavy) solution, there are several options. See the Using approaches based on Flex and ActionScript and Where to go from here sections for more information.
This article is largely based on one that I published on my website in December 2006: Deep linking to different frames/states in a Flash application. However, I've also had the good fortune of being able to improve this version by incorporating some of the great feedback that readers provided in response to the original. So to all of you who gave me feedback on that article, or any of my writing, thank you very much.
Adobe Flash is used to create interesting, compelling, and innovative user interfaces and websites. However, one common complaint about Flash-only websites is that they don't follow the web convention of "one URL per page." As we all know, one of the conventions of "how the web works" is that different sections or pages of a website have different URLs.
For example, if you give someone a URL for the contact page of your website, they can access that page directly by entering that URL in the browser's address bar. It's much cleaner than having to say, "Go to mysite.com, click About MyCompany, and click Contact Us." By contrast, if an entire website is built in a single FLA file in Flash, then when the file is published and the resulting SWF file is placed on a web page, there is only a single page—a single URL—to load in the browser for accessing the entire site. There is no way to access any section of the site directly.
Or suppose you create a SWF file that serves as a header or navigation bar for your website. You want to include the SWF file in multiple HTML (PHP or whatever) pages but you want the header image to change or the selected button in the navigation bar to be different according to which HTML page is being displayed in the browser.
This article describes several techniques for specifying different URLs that can be used to access different parts of a Flash-based website or Flash header/navigation bar.
Before going any further, I want to cover just a tiny bit of terminology to help you understand what is actually going to be covered in the article. While the title uses the term deep-linking, another way of describing this would be directly linking—linking to content that's "buried" within a site rather than only being able to link to the surface of the site's content. Another name for what I'm going to cover is creating RESTful URLs in Flash (or some variation on that). The key term here is REST ("representational state transfer"), which means having distinct URLs for directly linking to different content or different states of a web-based application.
Perhaps the easiest way to organize a Flash-based website is to use a different keyframe on the main Timeline to represent each "state" ("page" or "screen") of the site, as shown in Figure 1.
This is the organizational scheme that I'm going to assume for this article. In addition, as the title suggests, this article shows you how to create a Flash site that enables you to link directly to different frames in a Flash SWF file.
To start things off, we'll look at a way to link to frames that doesn't require you to write any ActionScript or other code at all, using what Flash calls frame anchors.
If you're somewhat familiar with HTML, you probably know that an anchor is like a link destination in a web page—it's how you specify a particular section in an HTML page, to which a link can point. For instance, if you want to have a link from part of an HTML page to a different place in the same page, or from one page to a specific place (other than the top) of a page, you use an anchor to accomplish that. (In fact, the
<a> tag that's used to create hyperlinks in HTML stands for "anchor" and the
<a> tag was originally used to create anchor destinations as well as links.)
The syntax for writing a URL to point to a particular anchor location in HTML is to use the pound sign (#) followed by the designated name for the anchor, as in the following examples:
A frame anchor is conceptually similar to an HTML anchor, except that rather than specifying a particular part of the HTML page as the destination to which anchor links will go, you specify a particular frame on the main Timeline and, when an anchor link is specified in the browser, it causes the playhead to jump to that frame automatically.
Flash does most of the work for making frame anchors function. You need to do two things in your FLA file to make it work:
If you've used frame labels in Flash—and if you haven't, you should be using them—adding a frame anchor works pretty much the same way as adding a frame label:
This creates a single anchor frame, with the name that you specify. As with frame labels and frame comments, the name appears in the Timeline with a special icon (a small ship's anchor) indicating that it's a frame anchor (see Figure 5).
Later, when a user accesses the page using a URL with an anchor name matching the name you specified in Step 2 (for example, my_home_page.html#about_us), the page will open and the SWF will move the playhead to the appropriate frame so that the content at the frame with the anchor name "about_us" is displayed.
This doesn't work automatically, however. There's one more important step that needs to be done: you need to publish the SWF with the appropriate template (the appropriate publish settings) so that the named anchors work:
By doing so, when Flash publishes the SWF file, it also generates an HTML page that contains the necessary HTML and JavaScript code to grab the anchor from the URL and set the SWF's playhead to the appropriate frame.
Finally, let me suggest some strategies to use when you're working with this technique, some of which are also common recommendations for working with frame labels:
gotoAndStop("home") won't do anything if you have an anchor frame with the anchor name "home," unless you also have a frame with the label "home." (Naturally, to avoid confusing yourself, you'll want to make sure the keyframe with the label "home" corresponds to the same frame number as the keyframe with the anchor name "home.") Because you can't assign both a frame label and an anchor name to the same keyframe, you'll need to have two sets of two keyframes, on two different layers—one for named anchors and one for labels.
I intentionally chose to limit this article to the simplest approach—at least in terms of not needing to write any ActionScript. However, it does have some limitations. In particular, it ties you to the use of the Timeline and frames to differentiate between different screens/pages, so it doesn't work for more complex applications where the layout is often in nested movie clips on a single frame of the Timeline (or something completely different, like Flex MXML).
In addition, this approach is less "discoverable" for users because when the Timeline reaches a keyframe through some means other than an anchor URL—for example, when animation plays or the user clicks a button that triggers a
gotoAndStop() action—the browser's address bar doesn't update itself. Consequently, the website still behaves differently from a traditional HTML site—even though you know that the anchors are there, it's not obvious or easy for the user to figure out that the site has different URLs for different pages, or to know what those URLs are.
These disadvantages and others have been addressed by several techniques that have been shared with me. Note that I haven't tried most of these, so I can't vouch for their particular usefulness, but they all come highly recommended by others:
Using FlashVars and server code to dynamically switch frames is, in my opinion, the simplest approach that requires ActionScript. It is particularly useful if you've created a banner or navigation bar SWF that you want to reuse on multiple web pages with different URLs—and have it show different content for each page. In the original version of this article I went into some detail about the FlashVars approach; I've also written a separate article about FlashVars. Later I gave a presentation where I explained some details about how to use this approach.

I like seeing the "Paradise Valley Motor Co" frame, I saw that in the trunk way back when... I think that was custom made, I don't recall ever hearing of such a place. Young Motorcars, 811 N. Scottsdale Rd in Scottsdale, was the local authorized AMG outlet as per AMG advert in an '84 issue of Road&Track I have.
The Phoenix looks brilliant as always.
quick update:
The AMG modified 5.4 litre M117 has returned home! AMG modifications include AMG cams, solid lifter conversion, lightened valve train, port and polish heads, bored cylinders and stroked crank which provide the additional .4 liter displacement. AMG offered this and .2 displacement increases prior to Mercedes introducing the 5.6 litre M117 in 1986. Aside from the AMG cast 3 piece 32 valve heads, this was of biggest performer AMG had to offer thru 1985.

Survey of London Monograph 15, St Bride's Church, Fleet Street. Originally published by Guild & School of Handicraft, London, 1944.

Wren's design for the new Church of St Bride stands high among the remarkable variety of buildings with which he restored to London its architectural distinction and gave it a new beauty of his own creation. It is not only among the largest of the new churches; it shares with St James's Westminster and Christ Church Newgate a fine dignity and unity of interior composition and is yet marked with interest and originality. And over and above the masterly treatment of the building as a place of worship, the strong governing purpose of the whole conception, it possesses in its tower and spire a wholly outstanding example of the architect's genius. The simplicity of the theme, the repetition of motifs which might so easily have been merely banal has been transmuted by his deft handling into a monument of superlative beauty.
The new building was a worthy successor to the fine fifteenth-century church which had preceded it. There is not sufficient evidence, at the time of writing, to say how the old and the new plans were related. In clearing the debris after the raid of 1940 it was found that the north arcade rested on the foundations of the medieval aisle arcade. It is unlikely, however, that this coincidence extended to the remainder of the plan. We do not know how many bays went to the medieval nave nor to the chancel. Wren's church has, like its predecessor, both north and south aisles. There is no structural division between nave and chancel, the whole parallelogram measuring 97 feet by 28 feet 3 inches. (fn. 1a) The eastern portion of this, 6 feet 9 inches in depth, projects beyond the aisles and forms the Sanctuary. The aisles are 11 feet 6 inches wide and terminate with the west wall of the Church. They are of five bays each, and the westernmost bay forms a vestibule, separated from the Church by a screen that extends over both nave and aisles, and is furnished with north and south doors. The west tower, 31 feet square externally and 14 feet 9 inches inside, also communicates with the vestibule and with an external entrance, thus forming a ceremonial approach to the Church from the west. The tower is flanked by two staircases which give access to the galleries over the vestibule and the aisles, and also to the rooms in the tower.
The integration of the whole design is so entirely regulated by the interior that it will be convenient to describe this before the external elevations. Each side of the central compartment is filled by the five semicircular arches of the arcades, springing from piers and responds formed of coupled Doric columns with a section of entablature above each pair. The bases of the columns stand on semi-octagonal plinths, well above the seating, the capitals have an egg-and-tongue enrichment to the echinus, and the only relief to the entablature is given by the dentils of the cornice bed-mould and the waterlily leaf of its upper member. The face-mould of the arches is plain, but each has a delightful little key block of a winged cherub's head beneath a feathered headdress. A rich character is given to the arcades by the coffering of the soffits, with carved mouldings to the panels and roses in the centre of each panel.
Above the arcades runs an inconspicuous cornice from which springs a segmental (almost semicircular) plaster vault that spans the Church from side to side and extends from east to west, some 45 feet in height. This vault is divided into bays which echo the arcades not only in number but in their transverse arches that are similarly coffered and enriched. These arches are carried on skilfully designed corbels in the arcade spandrels formed of elaborate escutcheons with a boldly carved cornice member that stands out from the unemphasized springing of the vault. In each bay the vault opens at the sides to provide for the large elliptical windows of the clerestory, the effect of which depends solely on their concentric and radiating glazingbars. This is clearly shown in the views of the ruined Church. These large windows flood the Church with light and give value to the whole arcuated scheme of the interior. In the centre, between the sections of cross-vaults that admit the clerestory, the vaulted ceiling is furnished with simple rectangular panels with carved bolection mouldings.
The sanctuary at the east end is marked by a more decorative treatment in strict harmony with the general scheme. The main entablature carried by the piers extends along the side walls and returns on the east wall to be stopped by the east window. It breaks round terminal and angle pilasters which have the same detail as the pier-columns. The spaces between are filled with square panels above semicircular-headed recesses, the latter, on the north and south, being niches curved on plan. A second story of pilasters carries up to the springing level of the vault, and here the highly enriched cornice, used for the corbels, displaces the nave cornice and links the last pair of corbels with the eastern composition. The two pairs of side pilasters have a slightly greater projection than the corbels and this has enabled the more elaborate vault of the sanctuary to master the last transverse arch. The vault is composed of two bands of guilloche ornament joined by similar horizontal bands to form seven deeply coffered panels with carved mouldings and centre pieces, the whole forming an ornamented arch over the altar-pace. Between the upper tier of pilasters are panels with carved swags above them.
How far this treatment of the east end can be ascribed to Wren is doubtful. We shall refer later to the description of the east wall before John Deykes, the architect, made his alterations in 1822–3 (see under Reredos, p. 53). The east window with a semicircular head is of three lights terminating in a transome at springing level, which arches over the centre light, leaving an uninterrupted curved light above. This is a restoration which approaches the original arrangement (see Plate 4). Deykes removed the mullions and transome and the whole window was reglazed with a copy of Rubens' Descent from the Cross in Antwerp Cathedral. We learn, from George Godwin's description in 1839, that the glass was executed by Charles Muss and that together with the ironwork it cost £600. (fn. 1) It is shown in the lithograph of 1835 reproduced on Plate 29. This and Clayton's drawing (Plate 5) show the window framed by the wall pilasters already described and an entablature supported by scroll brackets and a curved pediment just beneath the vault. The pediment was removed by Mr H. M. Fletcher, in his restoration of the interior of the Church (1932) when three terminal vases were substituted on the entablature. Mr Fletcher removed the elaborate painted decoration which had been lavished on the whole interior of the building by Basil Champneys in an earlier restoration at the end of the nineteenth century. It was under his direction that the east window was altered and the glass by Powell and Wooldridge inserted. (fn. 2a) The arch of the window has a central key block, and this with the cherub's heads in the spandrels are part of the original work.
The treatment of the west end, obscured by the organ and gallery, has now been laid bare by the fire. The archway into the tower is semicircular and springs from plain moulded responds, the moulding of which continues across the eastern face of the tower wall. Above the arch the pier entablature is continued unbroken, and over this is a large shallow elliptical recess, faced with ashlar, and hollowed out of the tower wall to give additional space to the organ gallery. In the centre of the recess is a semicircularheaded doorway, with access to the tower-room, framed in pilasters carrying a pediment over. Higher up a narrower doorway connects the tower with the roof space over the Church.
The galleries, which stand over the aisles, have panelled fronts of independent sections between the piers, and are carried on pilasters attached to the east and west faces of the coupled columns. The ovolo bases of the pilasters align with the lowest member of the column bases, and have a plain moulded capping and necking. The oak fronts are each divided into three panels, an oval centre enriched with banded bayleaves flanked by rectangles, and separated by panelled pilasters. A plain cornice forms the top and below is an entablature with the cornice breaking round the pilasters and dropping in a festoon-like curve under the central panels. Each side of this feature the architrave breaks upwards in a mitred 'ear' beneath the pilasters. The west gallery follows the same scheme, with a clock in the centre and beneath it is the screen.
The external walls of the aisles have three large round-headed windows in the central bays, across which the gallery passes. In the end bays of each aisle is a circular window ranging with the upper part of the larger windows, and below the western pair are the north and south entrance doorways. In the east walls are large windows corresponding with those north and south, while to the west the walls are pierced by semicircular-headed doors to the staircases and circular openings above. The aisles are ceiled in each bay with a plain groined vault in plaster, and between each compartment is a transverse arch springing from moulded corbels with winged cherubs' heads beneath set in the external walls.
The interior of the tower in the ground story is a particularly interesting design. The passages through the east and west wall are each formed with inner and outer arches, the space between being coffered above, and having tall niches in the walls. The respond of the arches is continuous around the compartment, which is curved on plan on the north and south to follow the line of a circle struck from the centre of the tower. These curved recesses are arched to match the entrance arches and between them are pendentives carrying a saucer dome based on a bold circular cornice, and pierced with an eye, enriched with carving, for the passage of the bells. The staircases to the galleries, north and south of the tower, were of oak with the normal detail of the period, moulded strings and handrails, square newels and twisted turned balusters.
The exterior of the Church is of the simplest character. A moulded plinth is carried round the entire building and all the external angles are rusticated, with quoins the depth of the ashlar courses. The aisles are finished with moulded cornice and plain parapet and the windows already described have simple broad architraves (with a slight projecting ear covering the springing of the arched head) and moulded cills. The circular windows have continuous architraves without key blocks or ornament. The external doors (now blocked) to the eastern bays have pedimental heads carried on carved console brackets, with a projecting panel in the centre of the frieze and architrave, the latter of which surrounds the door. The entrance doors in the western bays are more elaborate. An archway of rusticated masonry, with flanking columns of the Ionic order supports an entablature and pediment.
The east elevation has a pediment crowning the sanctuary projection, with a circular window set in the tympanum. The east ends of the aisles have a horizontal parapet and one large window to each. The main east window has a panelled cill (probably due to the glass line having been raised) and rests on a podium, with two panels, reaching down to the main plinth. The window is enclosed in a moulded arch resting on pilasters, and the whole is within a pedimental frame with additional panelled pilasters terminating in console brackets.
The west elevation of each staircase has a circular window over a squareheaded one with architrave surround and cornice over. Above each parapet the east and west staircase walls are curved stone ramps to the tower ending above in ornamented volutes. Between the staircases rises the tower which is of three stages, the second and third having two stories apiece. Above the uppermost is the lofty stone steeple.
The ground stage of the tower projects about a foot from the main walls above and is capped with a bold string course and curved weathering which covers the projection. The angles have quoins and in the centre is the main west entrance with a square-headed opening set in rusticated masonry with flat arch having a large keystone bearing a cartouche with the words 'Domus Dei' beneath a cherub's head. The door is flanked by Ionic columns supporting an entablature and segmental pediment, the latter rising above the course which divides the stories.
The second stage consists of a plain block, 47 feet in height, without projecting quoins but with emphasised ashlar joints. The centre, for rather more than a third of the whole width is recessed and arched at the top within a distance of three courses of the cornice. This contains a circular window above a large rectangular one finished with entablature and pediment. Each window is surrounded by a broad architrave in three faces and there is a sunk panel beneath the lower light. A well-marked cornice furnished with modillions surrounds the tower between the second and third stage, and above it the lower surface is extended for four courses to serve as base for the structure of the third stage. The other faces are plain except for a small circular opening north and south, the former having been covered by a modern clock. The third story (bell chamber) has all four faces alike. At each angle is an engaged (three quarter) column, flanked on each side with pilasters, of the Corinthian order, carrying a continuous entablature that surrounds the tower. This entablature breaks forward slightly on each face above the pilasters to carry a segmental pediment. The columns and pilasters have moulded bases resting on pedestals that stand on the podium above the cornice of the story below. Within a rectangular recess between the pilasters is an arch, framing the louvred openings of the bell chamber. This arch springs from moulded responds on plain jambs and beneath the cills of the openings is placed a projecting panel or table capped with a moulded cornice. On the north and south faces small circular windows are inserted in the centre between the pedestals of the main pilasters. Above the pediments each face of the tower is carried up the width of the central feature only, leaving re-entrant angles at the tower corners, to assist in the transition to the octagonal spire. A panelled parapet follows the contour of this uppermost section of the tower and eight vases, each carved with demons' heads and flame finials, stand on the parapet angles.
The steeple stands on a circular base with a simple cornice. Above this are four stages, octagonal in plan, treated in the lower three with arched openings on each face in the fourth with rectangular openings with a small circular hole above each. The angles of the stages, which diminish in size as they ascend, have single pilasters, Doric in the first two, Ionic in the third and Corinthian in the fourth. Each stage has a full entablature, breaking round the pilasters, and the three top stages have similar bases beneath both pilasters and arches. The arches have moulded responds and carved key blocks. In the centre of the spire is a stone newel stair which serves as a spinal support, terminating in the spirelet which has a panelled and pierced base. It is an obelisk in form, octagonal on plan, and carved with a ball at each angle above the base. The whole is surmounted by ball and vane. There were originally eight vases at the foot of the obelisk, shown in Mr Stratton's drawing (Plate 7) which follows Clayton.
The only addition of importance to the Church in the eighteenth century is the vestry, which has survived the air-raids and is now doing duty as a temporary Church.

News Stand: S7 Compared, Wrecked Sport quattro, 4.0 TFSI Intel & RS 3 Renders in Jan Issues of Motor Trend and Road & Track
by George Achorn on 6 December 2012 in via Fourtitude
Heads up for those who still like to turn pages or subscribe on your tablet. This month's (Jan 2013) Motor Trend and Road & Track magazines are worth picking up. Both magazines have proven especially rich in Audi content this month and we wanted to bring that to your attention.
Most may have already seen the RS 5 and Sport quattro comparison with bio/interest piece on former rally driver John Buffum. We ran a story earlier this week about the piece, including the wrecking of the Sport quattro. The print version is worth checking, including one more shot of the beaten up S1 (pp. 53-59).
The new R&T also includes a comparison article that pits the Audi S7 against the BMW 650i xDrive Gran Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz CLS550 4Matic (pp. 32-39). Worth noting, the magazine was able to get a 4.0 second 0-60 mph sprint out of the S7, .4 seconds faster than the Bimmer and .3 seconds faster than the Merc. So which car won? We don't want to spoil, but… well… skip to the next paragraph NOW if you don't want to know. Okay, you're still reading, well at this point if you're still seeing this and you don't want to know then we have no compassion for you because we gave you fair warning and we really don't want to see you complaining in the forums about how awful we are because we leaked to you that the CLS came in third, the 6-series Gran Sport came in second and the S7 managed a measly old all out win over these competitors.
So there you go. If you skipped ahead, go find the results in this month's Road & Track. The piece is penned by our friend Jason Cammisa and photographed by our other friend Marc Urbano. It's shot in Pittsburgh and the surrounding Pennsylvania area including Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob and while the photos are amazing, we suspect it may have been part of a grand plan by Cammisa to return to his former home of Pittsburgh in a trio of cool cars.
Finally, R&T's final page P.S. photo feature is an overhead shot of Buffum running an ur quattro in the 1982 Pike's Peak Hillclimb. The super crazy Group B born 1987 S1 seems to get all the glory, but Buffum's run was also very significiant and this shot is a cool look back on a lesser-known year.
Also worth picking up is the new issue of Motor Trend. We found three stories any Audi enthusiast may want to check out. First is the regular monthly column by Ron Kiino on p. 24. Entitled '4.0h Yeah', the piece is about the 4.0 TFSI. Of the engine, Kiino states (among other things) "Two of the most impressive V8s to come around, um, ever, are GM's supercharged 6.2-liter (ZR1, ZL1, CTS-V) and AMG's twin turbo 5.5-liter (E63, CLS63, SL63, etc.). The former, known as LS9 or LSA, offers 556 to 638 hp and 551 to 604 lb-ft of torque, while the latter, called M157 achieves 518 to 550 hp and 516 to 590 lb-ft. Both are refined, euphonious, and a pleasure to pilot, even when not motoring at Mach speed. To this short list, I add one more: Audi's new twin-turbo 4.0-liter, aka EA82."
Kiino then goes on to reprint a short conversation he had about the engine with Jurgen Konigstedt, head of Audi's V8/V10 engines. Read it and you'll learn geek knowledge like the EA82 nomenclature for 4.0 TFSI and also why they didn't put the engine in the R8 (amongst other things).
While there aren't any full-feature stories on Audi in the new Motor Trend, there are two other interesting Audi stories. One is about Audi's move to produce alternative fuels (p. 18) and the other is an intel story focusing on the RS 3 (p.16). The latter begins with the RS 3 focus, though it moves on to intel about some other models like RS 7 as well. Also, and we're biased here, it is a story that is that much more awesome thanks to renders created by Fourtitude.
Both magazines are worth picking up and kicking back for a long read. Check them out on your tablet or at the news stand now.
