"I wanted to jump around saying 'I've got the best car!'" – Mika Hakkinen
Mika Hakkinen started his final F1 season ten years ago.
The 1998 and 1999 world champion went on to race in the DTM and is now helping Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas on the way to an F1 seat.
Hakkinen talked exclusively to F1 Fanatic about his time in F1, his rivalry with Michael Schumacher – and what it's like to discover your new car is a potential championship-winner.
F1 Fanatic: It's ten years since your last F1 season – it seems to have gone very quickly. What have you been doing since then?
Mika Hakkinen: The time is really flying, that's true. When I think about all these years it feels just like yesterday.
The time when you are in Formula 1, your life is so incredibly attached to the sport. Formula 1 takes from your life 24 hours a day. It's not going into an office in the morning and leaving in the afternoon. It's unbelievable, one hundred percent commitment to the job.
So in these ten years a lot of things have been happening. I've been experiencing a family life, I have three children in my life, so it's been an amazing time. There have been bad moments, of course, and incredibly positive moments, but it's just life.
In the racing world I experienced the DTM for three years with Mercedes. It brought me back years because I was racing with young guys and it was interesting to see their mentality and commitment for the sport –the girls as well, not only the boys.
F1F: You described how intense life is when you're in Formula 1. When did you decide first to take a sabbatical from it, and then to leave it completely?
MH: It's never so clear-cut to be honest. My career in Formula 1 was very complicated, let's say it this way. Of course I had my accident in '95 and [after that] I had to use much more effort to do my performance in Formula 1 compared to other racing drivers.
I was not able to go so far with my career in Formula 1 as other drivers – in terms of time, I don't mean the results, I got the result that I was looking for.
I had to stop racing probably four or five years earlier than others because I was just finished. I felt that physically and mentally I was not doing the right stuff for myself and I was not doing the right stuff for the team and it was time to get new, young drivers to take my position and perform.
That was my decision. To be honest, it started after my accident. Not directly, you know, but something happened in my thinking and after '95 I was still driven by the dream that I was going to be world champion, I was going to do everything for that and I was going to keep fighting.
As soon as I had that goal I thought "that's it". I was slowly realising in my mind that life has given to me so much, my sport has given me so much, I don't want to try to step on ice and see if it's strong enough any more, because I know what it feels like when you fall through.
F1F: You talked about how much the sport has given you: what was the time you enjoyed most in your career?
MH: That's a really good question. Every year there was something. Motor racing gave me a great education in what you cannot just learn from reading books and going to university – those things are great but Formula 1 gave me something to educate myself in everyday life and the business world.
If you particularly want a year that was something I think years like '97, that was an extremely fantastic year.
F1F: A breakthrough year?
MH:A breakthrough, yeah, I would say so. '97 was a great year. Then going back I would say '94 was an incredible year.
But I have to be honest every year there was something amazing. Without doing much I could think [of something] in a year I learned that which gave me the step towards the experience of winning the world championship one day.
I always picked up a lot of things every year which I could together and then attack. You cannot just one year, look in the mirror and say "I'm ready to win everything". No, you have to continue working, year after year, collecting this knowledge in your head.
And then when you can put all these together and have a clear mind, you can do it. Bu, of course, you've got to be in the right team, you cannot do it alone, so I was grateful to be in a fantastic team with McLaren and we did it.
F1F: Which drivers at the moment are gaining the benefit of your experience?
MH: I'm taking care of [Williams reserve driver] Valtteri Bottas with Didier Coton's management team. He's doing GP3 this year.
For me it's unbelievably positive to talk about my experiences in the past, when I was in Formula 1. But I have learned in my career, I had great management team behind me – Didier Coton and Keke Rosberg and Keke's sister.
But at the end of the day, yes you can help and advise the driver, you can do a lot of things in the background, but at the end of the day the driver has to learn for himself. He has to study the life study the sport and put everything on the correct way. That's why it is always good to give.
The basics of the driver have to be right. The parents have to do the right work when the driver is a kid and doing go-karting, the parents have to do the right education so the young man or girl one day can take information in the right way. They can use it to suit their style in their life because everybody is individual and different.
F1F: Is the life you had in Formula 1 something you'd want for your children, if they wanted it?
MH: Oh, definitely. I think that being a Grand Prix driver is the best job in the world. It's absolutely fantastic.
It's hard work but, hey, it's a great job!
F1F: You had a lot of testing opportunities with McLaren and Lotus when you came into F1. But there's not as many chances for young drivers to do that today. Is this a problem F1 needs to sort out for drivers like Valtteri?
MH: I don't say it's a problem because every driver who is coming into Formula 1 is in the same situation.
So I'll just tell you: I don't think it is a problem. Because if there's a problem somewhere there's always ways to mange that problem and analyse that problem.
F1F: Turning to F1 today, what's your view on the adjustable rear wings – a positive step for a F1 or a gimmick?
People have been thinking a lot about this wing. There has been a lot of thought, a lot of reasons why it is like that.
Personally I think, from the drivers' point of view, it makes life more interesting. But we'll find out how it works when the season starts.
F1F: Fernando Alonso recently said "the most dangerous rival for me is always Michael [Schumacher]". Some people were surprised by that because Michael had a tough season last year. Do you understand what Fernando means when he says that?
MH: I understand that every driver has their opinions, their feelings, before the start of the season. The drivers are always being asked questions before the season starts. So that's just one thing that's been picked up from these comments.
In my opinion when you're starting a season in Grand Prix racing you have to focus on working with your team at the highest level possible. And the first driver you have to beat is your team mate so he's the biggest threat. That's the reality. Then comes the rest.
And you can, of course, look at the drivers in the Grand Prix field in 2011 and look at the level of professionalism it is absolutely amazing what the level of performance Grand Prix drivers today are delivering. They're doing a great job in terms of the physical side, marketing side, professionally with the team, the performance they do at the track, the technical knowledge they have – the list is long.
I would not pinpoint one driver out there and say "this is my threat for 2011". This is just my way of thinking. Michael is definitely a driver who I have experienced in the past, he's an amazing individual who can work very hard and not give up even when thing are not going so well. He keeps going until he gets the result. And he has shown that in his career when he was racing in any category.
So when we are heading for the first Grand Prix of the season we will know who will perform and who will not. And it's not only about the driver himself who will be doing the result, it's also the team. Both sides have to deliver the maximum attack performance.
F1F: After your rivalry with Michael it's amusing to see you now appearing in adverts together.
MH: I talked with Michael, we talked about last year and the future. It was good, I could see he has this incredible commitment now he has decided to go back to Formula 1.
It was funny doing the commercial with him together and overtaking him. We enjoyed doing it. There's humour in it and it gives people the opportunity to laugh about the past.
Yes, when we were racing it was very tough and very serious. But at the end of the day it's just a sport and when we did the commercials it was nice. I think you always have to put the humour in your life because otherwise you just don't survive. You have to learn to laugh and have fun.
F1F: It looked a bit easier overtaking him in that advert than it was in Spa in 2000.
MH: Oh yeah! Much easier.
F1F: Sebastian Vettel drove this incredible car last year, designed by Adrian Newey, who was also behind your world championship-winning cars. What is it that makes his cars different and special?
MH: How could I say it? What Adrian was able to do, in my opinion, was really think about everything. Every single part of the car has gone through a lot of thinking and he was able to create this car that could perform at the highest level and be better than any other.
I can't really explain it. I've driven many cars in the past and I know there have been possibilities for people to design these cars however they want. But Adrian was able to find ultimate performance in every part of the car. Whatever it is, he was able to do that.
The cars he did for me, in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001, were just amazing. I was many times working with him, looking at the numbers and collaborating, looking at this and that and how much downforce it was developing. He understood the language when you communicated, what problems the driver was experiencing. He was able to understand what you need.
F1F: What's it like when you drive a car like the [1998] MP4-13 for the first time – and realise that you've got a car that could win the world championship?
MH: Oh yeah it's an unbelievable feeling. When I first drove that car, when I was driving out of the pit lane and I was steering the wheel and changing gear I thought "what is going on here? This is it!"
I didn't even have to get to the first corner, I felt on the steering this was it. I went on the accelerator and felt the traction and the acceleration of the car and I thought, "hey, we've got something here".
You want to jump up and down in the pit lane and say "I've got it, I've got the best car here" – but you cannot do that! The team are keeping their feet on the ground and you know that even if you have a good car, the season is long and people will be catching and developing their car. So you just have to keep your emotions down and keep working, making it even better.
Adrian and the McLaren team, the engineers and mechanics, they gave me this great car and we had a meeting and said "that's where we are, now we just have to get even better."
It was about creating the overall package and complete performance because it's not just about the clock that says you are fast, you have to have so many elements right to win the world championship. The driver's part in that moment is even more important because you really have to start working seriously hard.
When you have the chance to win the world championship that's the only chance you get. It's maybe never going to happen again in your life if you miss it once. You have to do everything you can to win it that year when you have the chance.

why did donna reed replace barbra bel geddes?
I thought BBG had to take a year off for medical reasons - I believe it was open heart surgery. That's what I heard at the time.
I've always heard it was medical problems and she needed a year off and decided to come back when she saw DR's portrayal.
When Barbara Bel Geddes left Dallas I too was under the impression she'd left due to medical reasons. In fact I've believed that for years. About a week ago(right around Larry's passing)I was tooling around the tube&found two videos that say Barbara in fact left because she wanted more money/better contract as VictorLordJr says. I wasn't inclined to believe the first video I saw but I had to believe the second. The second video is Larry Hagman recounting how BBG's rep had demanded a better deal. Tptb refused so BBG left. In the video Larry says all BBG had to do was come to him&he'd have made it happen because he carried that much clout at the time.
I'm going to go back to the the tube&see if I can find the video again. If/when I do I'll post the title here for anyone interested in seeing it.
I found it. Go to the tube&type in "bring miss ellie back". Justin Lee Collins interviews Larry Hagman,Susan Howard,&Donna Reed's son Anthony Owen Jr.
Interesting video. I never knew Larry had the kind of pull he had at Dallas.
Thanks for the info, dr. ivan. I just watched the video. Unbelievable! Very poor handling of the situation all the way around.
You're welcome July&ITA with you!
I too thought it was medical until probally about ten years ago i heard of this,and when i got dallas on dvd one of the seasons have a interview with the cast,not bbg though and all the actors talking about it said that the agent messed up the deal, she wanted more money and the agent wanted alot more and he told her no they wouldnt pay it,[what he wanted]but what she was asking for i think would have been alright and thats why the cast said the agent really messed up the deal for her.I felt sorry for donna reed because they just let her go and she did alright,i did like bbg better but i think they should have handled it differently or maybe had dr a new character.
I've always thought tptb would've been better served had they brought Donna Reed on as a new character(maybe a Ewing or Southworth relative we'd not seen or heard of yet). I think that would have worked out better and been accepted easier than having her come on as Miss Ellie. I was a huge DR fan but I didn't enjoy her at all as Miss Ellie. I'm sure Miss Reed gave the very best she had to offer but the changes she brought to the character were too sudden and far too drastic. Up until Donna Reed Miss Ellie had always been a sort of earth mother kind of character. Sure she was a woman of means&power but she was always reserved in dress&demeanor. Donna Reed's Miss Ellie hit the scene running dressed as one of the 'ladies who lunch'. The audience had grown accustomed to seeing Miss Ellie go about her buisness at SF or out on the town(for casual errands) in her trademark 'sack' dresses. Seeing DR's Miss Ellie in diamonds,pearls,and designer duds was too jolting. Had tptb gradually introduced that(new)part of Miss Ellie I may have come to accept DR as Miss Ellie. As it was I spent the entire year wishing Miss Ellie would come home&throw the imposter out. Again no reflection on Donna but her take on Miss Ellie didn't jive with who the character was at heart,at least not in my opinion.
However I don't want to leave without saying knowing what I know now I can't help but feel sorry for Donna Reed. No one should have to work under the conditions she put up with. I've read other articles&seen other videos where it's reported some nasty disrespectul remarks were made to her directly&indirectly. No one should have to put up with that kind of disrespect&abuse.
As July said,the entire situation was handled poorly all the way around.
Well said Dr.Kipling! Over the years, I have admired the works of both Barbara Bel Geddes and Donna Reed. Both actresses delivered memorable performances over the years in their respective careers.
After reading the messages in this thread, I now realize Donna Reed was in a difficult position throughout her time on Dallas when she stepped into the role of Miss Ellie. Many years ago, I remember watching a biographical feature on Donna Reed and her family members/colleagues/friends mentioned she had a difficult time throughout her tenure at Dallas. I remember feeling sadness for Donna, especially with the disrespect she was getting.
I too wish the situation had been different and Donna had been introduced as a new recurring character to the show, maybe as a family member from Miss. Ellie's side of the family. Alas, we will never know.
Wow, the whole situation turned out so terrible. Donna Reed, it seems, was treated so badly. Terrible.
I am happy BBG came back the next season, however, the situation really should've been handled differently.
It was weird to see Susan Howard again after all these years, it almost seemed she wasn't too fond of Dallas after she left... Maybe it was just me.
^^^^^^^Thanks Dr.Kipling!
You are not alone when it came to being out of the loop about why the sudden recast occurred all those years ago.
From the same biographical feature on Donna Reed that I watched many years ago, either someone who was interviewed for the program or the program narrator had mentioned one of the actresses who was mentioned as a possible recast was Mary Martin, Larry Hagman's mother. I often wonder how things might have been different if another actress or Mary Martin was recast as Ms. Ellie.
You're very welcome Viki&Charlie! I also heard there was mention made of Mary Martin stepping into the role of Miss Ellie. All those years ago I heard rumors that Larry himself had made the suggestions. I dismissed it as idle chatter. It wasn't until a few weeks ago I actually heard Larry himself say that he in fact did mention his mother's name as a possible replacement for BBG. Like you I've often wondered how that would have worked.
Dr.Kipling, I guess these are some of the many things in life we will never know.
Over the years, I have often been reminded while Ms. Ellie is J.R.'s mother, in real life, Barbara Bel Geddes was about nine years older (if memory serves) than Larry Hagman. Whenever I watched, this fact was always forgotten. I truly believed they were mother and son. The same with Donna Reed and Larry, there was a ten year age difference and the same thing happened.
It would have been interesting had Mary Martin been recast as Ms. Ellie. I would have especially loved to have found out how the real life mother-son relationship would have played out on Dallas through Ms. Ellie and J.R. I have enjoyed watching real life family members act together on television. Most of the time, it was husband/wife.

"Dr.Kipling, I guess these are some of the many things in life we will never know."
^^^^^^^^^^^How true Viki&Charlie! I spent years not knowing there was only a nine year age difference between Larry&Barbara. I don't know how but somehow I've been missing all the meetings when things like this have gotten out to the public lol. I know what you mean about BBG&DR. When I saw Larry with either of them I saw a mother and son,not people just a few years apart in age. It's funny how some performers can pull that off&others can't. Whenever I watch North By Northwest I'm always distracted by Carey Grant&Jessie Landis as mother and son. As much as I love&enjoy that movie I still find myself saying in my mind "She's not old enough to be his mother" lol. I never once doubted BBG&LH,or DR&LH, as mother and son.
Well good talking with Viki&Charlie.
P.S. I've always wondered if the real life mother&son dynamic would've come through too had Larry&Mary been on Dallas together too. I think I'd have gotten a kick out of seeing Mary Martin play Miss Ellie if for no other reason than to see her scold her real life son lol.
Dr.Kipling, knowing Larry Hagman, I am willing to guess he would have given his mother, Mary Martin, a run for her money and she would do the same. Over the years, I have enjoyed their individual works on film and television. They are both talented individuals and like mother, like son.
I see Mid.

February 11, 2011 Howe and Why Rangers Thriving Despite Injuries
by Robert Vollman
Displaying pretext
Every season the injury bug bites a handful of franchises far too frequently, usually ruining any chance they may have had to be competitive. This season one of its favorite targets has been the New York Rangers. Somehow the resilient team has leveraged its well-stocked farm system and carefully chosen collection of role players not only to stay afloat, but to thrive.
Using GVT we can quantify the exact toll injuries have taken on the Broadway Blueshirts, figure out exactly how they've managed to excel and see if we can expect it to continue.
Rangers Recap
Category 2009-10 2010-11 Standings 21st 9th Goals For 16th 14th Goals Against 10th 5th Power Play 13th 24th Penalty Killing 7th 8th Hits 2nd 1st Blocked Shots 11th 3rd Giveaways 28th 28th Takeaways 10th 12th Faceoffs 21st 28th
Hockey Prospectus 2010-11 raised more than a few eyebrows this summer when we confidently projected that the Rangers would be the NHL's most improved team. Everyone already knew that New York was a tough team, regularly among the league leaders in hits, and one of those shot-blocking, defensive teams whose consistently elite goaltending kept it in practically every game. But beyond the great Marian Gaborik, did the Rangers have enough puck-handling offensive talent to be legitimate contenders? Clearly, the answer is a resounding yes.

I feel like this article needed to be released a week earlier than it was. By the time this article was released, the Rangers were in the throes of their longest losing streak of the season, which is now up to six after last night's loss. All of these losses have happened to coincide with the return of their big-name players. The Rangers will be what they've been since the lockout - a team that waits until nearly the end of the season to determine it's playoff fate. If they get in, they will likely be a 6-8 seed who might be able to pull a first-round upset, but nothing more than that. They just don't have enough offensive firepower.
Thanks for reading, and the comments. Yes, we got burned by the timing of their slump. If it had been published the day it was written, we'd come off looking like geniuses. Looks like that "tough ride" came even sooner than we thought. The good news is that the Rangers are well-stocked with young talent, and are definitely trending up, and at one of the league's higher rates.
It was written a week earlier--Keep that in mind when you're reading it. That's what happens with the ESPN columns we do.
I understand. As a Ranger fan, I just wish that the positive trends continued once Dubinsky, Prospal, Callahan, etc. returned.

Emma Bunton
Celebrity Babes Home / Entertainment Channel
Blonde, British and Beautiful, solo artist Emma Bunton has enough B's to make any parent happy on report card day. The former Spice Girl has shown on any occasion that she's got the good grades to make it on her own, but now she's out there proving it to anyone who might have doubted her in the first place with a solo career that rivals any British superstar. No longer known as Baby Spice, Emma was born in 1976 in North London where she showed her desire to perform at an early age. After seeing Olivia Newton-John in "Grease" and experiencing an entire decade dominated by Madonna, Emma was set on becoming a singer. The young performer went on to attend the Sylvia Young Theater School, but because she came from a low-income household, Emma was forced to drop out after a few short months. She was later offered a scholarship by the same theater school where she finished her education.After graduation, Emma made some extra cash as a model and commercial actress before being cast as a troubled youth in the BBC soap opera "Eastenders." Two years later, Emma answered an ad in a trade paper looking for young female singers to form a band called Touch, but the name was shortly changed to the Spice Girls. Following a year of training under their original manager, the girls got impatient of waiting for a record deal and left for Virgin Records to sign a new contract. The Spice Girls released their first album "Spice" in 1996 and the group exploded on to the pop scene with incredible media attention that led to extensive tours and a merchandising frenzy that hadn't occurred since the immense popularity of boy band New Kids on the Block. Several years later, Geri Halliwell led the group to new management once again before leaving the group to pursue a solo career. The other four girls shortly followed suit, but Emma was among the last to make her way into the studio. Nearly a decade since the group was first formed, Emma is now the most successful solo artist of the quintet and is ready to conquer the US all over again.

While with the Spice Girls, Emma appeared on all three of their albums (Spice, Spice World and Forever) and also starred in the film "Spice World" as herself. Emma's solo career launched in 2001 with her debut release A Girl Like Me and has followed up its overseas success with her new album, Free Me.
Latest Buzz
Emma's latest album Free Me has already sold more than 100,000 albums in the UK and was just released in the US where it should fair a little better.

In this Dec. 8, 2009 photo, a box of Honey Nut Cheerios is seen on display at Costco in Mountain View, Calif. The nation's largest food companies say they will cut back on marketing unhealthier foods to children, proposing their own set of advertising standards after rejecting similar guidelines proposed by the federal government. The industry guidelines for children's' cereals, for example, would allow them to be advertised if they have around 10 grams of sugar a serving, while the formula used by the government would discourage advertising for cereals that have 8 grams of sugars in an equivalent serving. That would mean General Mills would still be able to advertise Honey Nut Cheerios cereal under the industry guidelines but would be discouraged under the voluntary government guidelines.

After reading Dick Tornblom's March 9 letter, "Distress signal not an oversight," I had to write. I've wondered why some people hate the president so completely. At least those who hated George W. Bush could point to the killing and maiming of thousands of Iraqis and American soldiers or the fiscal mismanagement of our economy, or his failure to stop the most destructive terrorist attack in history. Was Tornblom flying his flag at distress then?
I haven't seen any big change in this country since President Obama was elected except that we have a black man in the Oval Office. Could this be the real reason for all the hatred?
As for all the screaming about socialism, could someone point out one new socialist policy introduced since Obama was elected? I think capitalism has been bailed out by taxpayer money at least twice recently, so isn't capitalism the new socialism?
I suggest Tornblom go sit quietly on his front porch and wait for his socialistic Social Security check that arrives monthly, courtesy of those of us who still work. I also hope he goes to his socialistic Medicare-provided doctor appointments so he can live a long healthy life. Courtesy, again, of those of us who work.
Tornblom doesn't seem to understand that the world has changed. You can't work as a soda jerk anymore and survive. Hopefully, while Tornblom is waiting on his government check he will educate himself. It's never too late to learn.
The Observer's March 3 editorial "Driven - Does Meredith bill help consumers or insurers?" is wrong to criticize Sen. Wesley Meredith's plans to reform North Carolina's automobile insurance system. While the current system works reasonably well for the insurance industry, insofar as it makes it impossible for insurers to lose money, it has stifled almost all innovation in the state's car insurance market. A wide variety of products, ranging from discounts based on driving behavior to "vanishing deductible" policies, simply don't exist in North Carolina. And there's little evidence to suggest the system produces lower rates.
Data compiled by the website insure.com show that South Carolina drivers have paid almost exactly the same average rates as their North Carolina neighbors over the past two years even though their state has a vastly different insurance regulatory system. North Carolina's current automobile insurance system reduces rates for high-risk drivers and raises them for lower-risk drivers. Making changes will both right this wrong and introduce North Carolina consumers to a universe of new choices.

I love fruit as much as the next person, but one of the reasons it has a place in my kitchen (and my tummy) is its versatility. It can be eaten alone, turned into a dessert — or complement your favorite protein at the dinner table. Here are 10 new-to-me ways to put fruit to use at the dinner table. FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT

Green Industry
The green industry across North Carolina is a huge part of the economic and environmental success of our state. Across North Carolina the green industry is comprised of various companies and organizations providing products, services, education, and resources that keep NC green and beautiful.
Our Plant and Garden Supply Sources listing includes many retail sources in 22 western North Carolina counties. Thank you to the NC Cooperative Extension Service for providing assistance with the preparation of this listing. The North Carolina Green Industry Council indicates that the green industry adds $8.6 billion and 151,982 jobs to the state's economy annually.
The North Carolina Arboretum is a green industry partner exhibiting the newest and best plants, demonstrating best practices in landscape systems distributing horticultural marketing and promotional materials, educating professional landscape and horticulture workers through garden exhibits and the Plant Professional Landscape Garden, and hosting regular professional lectures.
The North Carolina Arboretum is a site on the 2013 Southern Garden Tour. Growers, retailers, and media professionals are invited to explore the trial grounds of leading growers and universities across the Southeast. Tours of the Arboretum will take place Wednesday, June 26. For more information, visit the 2013 Southern Garden Tour website.
The North Carolina Arboretum hosts annual symposia for the traditional Green Industry.
The 2012 Horticulture Industry IPM Symposium offered programs on scouting for insect pests and new diseases in the landscape, integrated pest management in conifers and using beneficial insects in both greenhouse and landscape application. The attendance doubled in size from 2011 and drew a variety of green industry professionals including landscape, garden, greenhouse, small farm, national park service, university and garden center sector representatives.
Partners in the conference were The North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service and Biobest International.
The Speaking of Gardening Symposium annual event hosted speakers in 2012 from United Kingdom, Asia and the United States. Lectures on creative design, current global gardening trends and as always, great plants provided professional attendees a host of Continuing Education Units from four agencies. Design, nursery, landscape and garden center professionals were in attendance at this annual sell-out event!
2012 Community Partners in this evemt included B.B. Barns, The Garden Company, Hilton Asheville Biltmore Park, French Broad River Garden Club, Hawksridge Farms, Inc., J.R. Stone Sales, Inc., Reems Creek Nursery and Landscaping, Inc.

I've searched through the archives and have not found an answer. Is it possible for the closed caption text area to scroll? I read about a possible widget but my company has restricted the site so I can not try it out. Before I go that route I need to know if the widget does what it says and allows me to enter the text into the closed caption area in notes and then display the area (including scroll bars) when the user clicks CC in the playbar.
Or are there other solutions? I do not have the time to bookmark sections and time to playing audio. I want to avoid creating a large block showing a large amount of text which obstructs the slide image area. Seems like it should be easier than this.
Thank you.
Hi there
Unfortunately that's not an option in Captivate. It is what it is.
I do suppose it may be possible for one of the Flash wizards among us to maybe create a widget that would do this. But I've never seen it.
You might also consider asking the Adobe team for the capability in a future version of Captivate. You do this by using the Wish Form. (Link is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

I don't know of any widget that creates a scrolling closed caption area in Captivate. But there's a widget that Jim Leichliter made that allows you to reposition the CC area: http://captivatedev.com/2011/02/23/adobe-captivate-5-widget-reposition -closed-captions/
That's about as close as you get.
Personally I don't see the point in using a scrolling area for the CC text. I often have a minute or more of voiceover on a single Captivate slide and I just break the CC text up into single lines that I synch with the audio using the Slide Audio > Closed Captions dialog. User's should not be required to scroll anything while they're trying to watch the content.
Rod, I can easily see why folks want the scrolling. I'm assuming they are wanting a vertical scroll as opposed to a horizontal one.
I can see it because at least here in the US (assuming it works similar elsewhere) when you watch CC on television sets, it scrolls vertically.
Cheers... Rick

That may be the case, but moving text is very bad usability. You cannot effectively read text that isn't standing still. It's one of the reasons we all hated marqui text scrolling across web pages.
If someone wants scrolling CC text, that's their choice. But for solutions designed to help disabled or challenged users, I much prefer a solution where the text doesn't move, because that has better overall usability.
Hi Rod
Well, in my own experience, it "sort of" scrolls. What I mean by that is that often I see the words appear almost as if they are being typed in real time. But there are always perhaps three, or sometimes may be four lines of text visible. This gives one a chance to "catch up", if perhaps they are a slow reader. The lines aren't constantly moving. Just as the second line appears, the first moves up a line. The third line appears and the first and second move up. The fourth line appears and the first disappears as the second moves up to replace it.
And so on.
So you have this little area on the screen where the text "scrolls" by jumping one line at a time. ;-)
Cheers... Rick

The most popular 5.1-channel home theater sound system. An improvement over Dolby Pro-Logic in that it offers: 1) Full frequency response in all channels (3Hz — 20kHz), 2) discrete surround channels, and 3) a separate track for bass only, called the Low Frequency Effects channel.
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a 6.1-channel digital sound track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie theaters around the world. DTS, Inc. has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, front left and right, center, surround left and right, and LFE 0.1 (subwoofer) channels for a total of 5.1 channels). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1-channel reproduction by adding the surround back channel to the existing 5.1-channel format.
Achieves surround sound with clarity and sound imaging unlike any other two-speaker system. You can hear clear dialogue from the front, with distinctly separate surround sounds and smooth movement around the sound field. 7.1ch technology - articulate sound source expressions from various directions: The AIR SURROUND XTREME has employed a newly developed virtual 7.1ch technology that can independently recreate the surround channel and surround back channel in stereo. The result is clearly and amazingly identifiable sound sources from various directions. Position mode - sideways shift of the most effective listening point: This mode is capable of shifting the most effective listening spot on the row while keeping the sound field of a multi-channel program. The amazing ability to shift the best listening point by a mere balance adjustment provides an ideal surround effect, even when listening while not exactly in between two speakers. Wide mode - widening of the surround effective area: Wide mode is for two to three people listening laterally. Our original technology - "multi-point crosstalk canceling" process - creates a comfortable surround feeling in a much larger area, adding a further value to the AIR SURROUND XTREME for the enjoyment of more than two people.
UniVolume is a Yamaha-developed technology that maintains a consistent volume level between different channels, programs, commercials and input sources. For instance, when watching TV while using UniVolume, the volume of commercials will not be louder than the program being viewed. The same is true when switching sources to watch a DVD or Blu-ray movie or to listen to music on CD. This is particularly helpful for late night watching and listening when spikes in volume can disturb others in the house or apartment building.

Inert and Non-Water-Absorbent Adhesive Film
"I need inert and non-water absorbent adhesive film, with good sealing properties, to cover a surface (ceramic) already covered with a suspension of bacteria (dried). This set will be placed in a stomacher bag that contains culture media and the bacteria should be able to pass from the adhesive film to the media. It must be sterile or be able to be sterilized."
There are a few different options, depending on whether you want it to be sticky or non-sticky, or somewhere in between. Various silicone manufacturers or converters may offer cured silicone sheet in various durometers that would be inert and non-water absorbant. The lower the durometer (A-5 to A30), the better it will seal, but will be soft and "grabby" to the touch. Higher durometer silicone will be slightly easier to handle, but will not be as sticky or grabby as the lower durometer materials. You can go with an even lower durometer with silicone gels for better adhesion, but these need to be on a backing (similar to the tacky gel woundcare dressings or ouchless bandaids). Thin film PTFE or PTFE tape may also be an option. Many of these options will be sterilizable.

Product 321/1273
When his supervisor is knocked out of commission by a broken ankle, Brian is sent on a prestigious business trip to Dubai. The company is counting on him to keep one of their most important clients, but Brian soon finds his nerves giving way to a less than strictly professional interest when he meets the hot air balloon-loving vice-president of marketing, Karim.
Will Karim and Brian become more than just clients or will the marketing be too much?
The waiter brought out a couple of large plates of the eggplant dip, and set them with trays of flatbread on either end of the table. As Karim leaned over to help himself, Brian tried to think of something to say. He finally came up with, "Do you visit the States often?"
"Now and then. I mostly liaise with our European offices, so I keep a flat in London."
Which explained the accent. Brian scooped up some of the eggplant dip on a sliver of flatbread, careful to use his right hand, and took a bite. The dip was creamy and tart and contrasted nicely with the stiff flat bread.
"You're a New York man?" Karim asked. Brian nodded, swallowing and wiping his mouth on his napkin, just in case. "I love Central Park. I'd be accused of treachery if my English friends heard me say it, but there's nothing in London that can compare."
"Central Park is something else," Brian agreed, although it took him a moment to remember the last time he'd been there. A couple of months earlier, he recalled. He'd had an unsuccessful date with an Ultimate Frisbee player.
They ate in silence for a few moments. There was a surge of laughter from the other end of the table, although Brian hadn't heard the cause behind it. Karim shook his head indulgently, like a permissive schoolteacher. "Some of us can't be let out of the office."
"Speak for yourself, Your Highness." Abdullah chuckled, the ends of his gutra bouncing on his shoulders. "I'm a perfect gentleman."
Karim laughed. Brian was dying to ask about the title, but he didn't want to sound like an idiot or a fawning fan. He hesitated and, when Karim finished his bite of baba ghanouj and wiped his fingers on his napkin, Brian said, "You'll have to tell our New York managers how they can get people to call them that. A few of our vice-presidents have been trying to get us to call them 'your majesty' for years now."
Brian was happy with that; it was light-hearted, and it got a smile from Karim. "They'd need to be one of about seven thousand people in one of the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates," Karim replied. "But believe me, that's more trouble than it's worth."
"You're a prince?" It didn't come out quite as suavely as Brian had hoped..
"Think of it more like a Kennedy," Karim replied. "One of those minor cousins who doesn't get a lot of press and still has to hold down a full-time job."

Matilija Dam is many things — a testament to shortsighted design, an environmental eyesore and a reminder of how slow bureaucracy can work. But after someone took a can of paint to the 200-foot dam last week and stenciled a massive pair of scissors and dotted line down the face of it, Jack Reilly argues the defunct dam north of Ojai has become something more: a work of art.

ON THE DOWNLOAD. A U.S. District Court, at the request of the FTC, has halted an operation, which used the lure of free lyric files, browser upgrades, and ring tones to download spyware and adware on consumers' computers. The court also stopped the operation's affiliate that offered blogs free background music, causing spyware downloads. The organization's assets are frozen pending a further hearing. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/11/enternet.htm
SPAM-A-LOT. The FTC has released a new staff report which focuses on three aspects of spam: email address harvesting – the automated collection of email addresses from public areas of the Internet; the effectiveness of spam filtering by ISPs; and the effectiveness of using "masked" email addresses as a technique to prevent harvesting. "Masking" email addresses involves altering the address to make it understandable to the recipient but confusing to automated harvesting software. The FTC's new staff report says that ISP filters block up to 95% of unsolicited email. ISPs' anti-spam technologies can block the vast majority of spam sent to harvested email addresses and consumers can prevent harvesting by "masking." Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/11/spam3.htm
MORE SPAM. Spammers who sent millions of illegal email messages – including sexually explicit ones – have paid $621,000 to settle the FTC's charges that their practices violated federal laws. The settlement bars future violations and requires the marketers to monitor their affiliates to ensure that they're also complying with federal laws. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/11/globalnet.htm
BIZ OPP FLOP. A U.S. District Court, granting the FTC's request, has issued a temporary restraining order to halt a Costa Rican operation that used Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, shell corporations, aliases, and shills to con U.S. consumers into investing in a bogus business opportunity. The court also has frozen the defendants' assets, and appointed a receiver, who shut down the toll-free and U.S. phone lines used to market the scheme.

TIP OF THE MONTH -- Holiday Shopping? How to be On Guard When You're Online
It's no secret that browsing and buying online can save time, money and effort. The FTC, the nation's consumer protection agency, says shoppers who stop and think before they click can prevent an online Scrooge from interfering with their purchases and ultimately, their holiday fun. The FTC and the technology industry recently launched OnguardOnline, a campaign to help consumers integrate online safety into their daily online routines. Among the tips from OnguardOnline.gov are:
1. Know who you're dealing with. Anyone can set up shop online.
2. Read between the lines and check out the terms of the deal, like refund policies and delivery dates.
3. Calculate the costs and pay by credit or charge card. Do not send cash under any circumstances.
4. Don't email your financial information. It's not a secure method of transmitting personal or financial information like your credit card, checking account or your Social Security number.
5. Use anti-virus software and a firewall and update them regularly.
