The San Francisco Bay Area is a region that is highly vulnerable to natural hazards like earthquakes, wildfires, and severe weather. ABC7 has gathered resources and tips to make it easier for you to access preparedness information all in one place. Check out our easy-to-read, visual infographic about quake basics!

Experts believe that the Northern California area is one of the most seismically active areas of the state. The overall probability of a magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquake striking the Greater Bay Area in the next 30 years is 63 percent. Unfortunately, most residents are not prepared to protect their families, homes and finances. Preparing now will help you survive and recover and get back to normal after the next damaging earthquake.
CEA's new alliance with the American Red Cross can help you take simple steps to be ready when the time comes-- We're in this together, Northern California, so get prepared! Here are the simple steps you can take:
Keep basic supplies in an easy-to-carry emergency preparedness kit that you can use at home or take with you in case you must evacuate. For a list of supplies and more details, go to: www.PrepareSoCal.org/tips-tools/get-a-kit/. For an Earthquake Safety Checklist, go to: http://www.redcross.org/images/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m4240216_Earthquake.pdf
Identify out-of-area emergency contacts. Decide where to reunite with loved ones after a disaster in case phone lines are down. Write your plan on an emergency contact card and store in your phone along with important numbers for emergency resources in your area. For more details, go to: www.PrepareSoCal.org/tips-tools/make-a-plan/.
Discuss how to prepare and safely respond to emergencies that are most likely to happen where you live, work and play. Learn how notification systems in your area will work. Learn more by going to: www.PrepareSoCal.org/tips-tools/be-informed.
Most residential insurance policies do not cover earthquake damage - a separate earthquake policy is required. Without earthquake insurance to help cover the costs of repairs and other expenses that come with catastrophic damage, you will pay out-of-pocket to fix your home, to replace your personal property, and to live and eat elsewhere.
The California Earthquake Authority is a publicly managed, privately funded organization that provides catastrophe residential earthquake insurance and encourages Californians to reduce their risk of earthquake loss.
Why CEA? Five reasons to buy:
If your home suffers catastrophic earthquake damage, the CEA can provide you with the strength to rebuild. With nearly $10 billion in claim-paying power, supported by the service expertise of its participating insurance companies, the CEA could cover all of its claims if the 1906 San Francisco, 1989 Loma Prieta, or 1994 Northridge earthquake reoccurred today.
|Excellent financial ratings. CEA's financial strength is rated A- (Excellent) by A.M. Best Company (a company that rates insurance companies). Expert service. CEA policies are available exclusively through CEA's participating insurance companies, which handle CEA-policy applications, renewals, billing, and claims. Rates based on science, not profit. By law, CEA rates must allow it to remain financially sound and to pay all its covered claims. CEA rates are based on the best available science for assessing earthquake risk and do not include any amount for profit. Not tied to government budgets. California's budget issues have no impact on the CEA's ability to pay its claims, because the CEA is a privately financed entity and receives no money through the state budget. Without earthquake insurance, the cost of any damage is your cost. If your CEA policy claim exceeds your deductible, you don't actually have to pay the deductible before claim-payment eligibility is triggered. For more about CEA earthquake insurance policies and premiums and to see a list of insurance companies that sell CEA earthquake insurance go to: www.EarthquakeAuthority.com.
During an earthquake, know how to drop to the ground, take cover under sturdy furniture, and hold on to that furniture until after the shaking stops. Learn more by going to (www.ShakeOut.org).
Make sure your home is securely anchored to its foundation. Bolt and brace water heaters, gas appliances, bookcases, china cabinets and other tall furniture to wall studs. Hang heavy items such as pictures and mirrors, away from beds, couches, and anywhere people sleep or sit. Brace overhead light fixtures. Install strong latches or bolts on cabinets - store heavy items closest to floor.

During a major disaster you may have questions about how to access essential services. Do not call 911 unless it is an emergency. Instead, dail 211. The United Way has established a system to help people with non-emergency services during crisis. By using 211, you'll help keep lines open for those who need urgent attention.

Find two ways out of each room in your home and know your neighborhood evacuation routes. Designate an emergency meeting location outside the fire/hazard area and determine an out-of-area friend or relative as a point of contact to act as a single source of communication among family members in case of separation.
Sources American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter, SFFD
Keep items that catch on fire at least three feet away from anything that gets hot and stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling food. Create Defensible Space: Defensible Space is the buffer you create by removing dead plants, grass and weeds. This buffer helps to keep the fire away from your home.
Sources readyforwildfire.org, prepare.org, NFPA (PDF)
If your clothes catch on fire, STOP where you are, DROP to the ground and ROLL over and over to smother the flames. Remove all burned clothing. If clothing adheres to skin, cut or tear around burned area. Call 9-1-1 from a safe location. If you are trapped in a burning building, stay near a window and close to the floor. If possible, signal for help.

Get out - leave your home as quickly and safely as possible. Make sure to check door handles with the back of your hand before opening a door. If it is hot, look for an alternate escape route. Go to your designated meeting place. Call the fire department from a neighbor's house or a cell phone once you're safely outside.
Sources American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter, USFA FEMA, NFPA (PDF)
Leave as soon as evacuation is recommended by fire officials to avoid being caught in fire, smoke or road congestion. Don't wait to be ordered by authorities to leave. Evacuating early also helps firefighters keep roads clear of congestion, and lets them move more freely to do their job. In an intense wildfire, they will not have time to knock on every door. If you are advised to leave, don't hesitate!
Source readyforwildfire.org
Plan several travel route options in case one route is blocked by the fire or by emergency vehicles and equipment. For more information on preparing your family, pets and property for wildfire, see the Ready for Wildfire "Are You Set?" brochure. Go to a designated public shelter if you have been told to evacuate. Text SHELTER + your ZIP code to 43362 (4FEMA) to find the nearest shelter in your area.

Natural gas leaks can cause an explosive and flammable atmosphere inside a building. If you smell gas, hear gas escaping, see a broken gas line, or if you suspect a leak, shut off the main valve (see video) and open all windows and doors. Never use candles or matches if you suspect a leak. Do not turn on electrical switches or appliances. Identify the main shutoff valve, located on the gas line coming into the main gas meter. To turn gas off, give the valve a quarter turn in either direction. When the lever crosses the direction of the pipe the gas is off.

Listen to local radio and TV stations for information and advice. When a flash flood warning is issued or if you think it has already started, evacuate immediately. Move to higher ground away from rivers, streams, creeks, and storm drains. Plan and practice a flood evacuation route with your family.

Drink more fluids (nonalcoholic), regardless of your activity level. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library - even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat.

A local earthquake may generate tsunami waves that can reach shore in minutes. If you are on the beach or other low-lying area close to the ocean or bay, immediately evacuate by walking to higher ground. If officials issue a tsunami warning and order evacuations, you hear the Outdoor Warning System, the earth shakes so much that you can't stand, shaking lasts longer than 20 seconds, or you notice water receding from the shoreline, walk to higher ground immediately.
Sources CDC, TsunamiReady - NOAA
If you do not have enough water stored, there are sources in your home that may provide safe, clean water for drinking purposes: the water drained from the water heater faucet (if the water heater has not been damaged), water dipped from the tank of the toilet (not the bowl - the water in the bowl can be used for pets) or melted ice cubes.

Stay out of flood waters, if possible. Even water only several inches deep can be dangerous. If you have to walk through water, use a stick to check the firmness of the ground ahead of you. Avoid moving water. If your car stalls in rapidly rising waters, abandon it immediately and climb to higher ground. Attempting to move a stalled vehicle in flood conditions can be fatal.
Source CDC
If you are indoors when a storm with large hailstones strikes, stay there. Because large pieces of hail can shatter windows, close your drapes, blinds or window shades to prevent the wind from blowing broken glass inside. Stay away from skylights and doors. If you are outside when lightning strikes, move immediately to a place of shelter.

Smallest size, biggest advantage. That's Matco's new PRO1000 Borescope, with the smallest camera on the automotive market -- period. The 5.5 mm camera head gets into the tightest spots without teardowns, saving up to 90% of the cost of warranty repair evaluations.
Plus, it's easy to operate, lightweight and ergonomic, only four buttons run everything from a simple on-screen display. Shoot photos, video and audio, and toggle between them.
I saw this at a trade show and bought it at the race track. I felt good that when I was walking through the pits at the drag races the crew was using the same one I bought . This told me that it was probably the best one I could have purchased! And being an Automotive Instructor I have seen allot of bad bore-a-scopes over the years and we have to treat them with kid gloves because they aren't durable enough for the students to use This Is The First One I Have Let The Students Use By Themselves !!!!!!!! And since it is mine I had to know it wont break before turning it loose on a classroom full of kids!! October 4, 2011
great, must have this is the best borescope I have ever use and I've used a few different scopes. video quality is far better than most. The adjustable LED brightness is an excellent feature. The Video and pic capabilities are great. The camera head is smaller than I thought it would be by quite a bit. Screw on 90 degree mirror keeps it from falling off while inside a cylinder. SD card a big plus. The regular battery is sufficient. Can be used while plugged in if need be but have not done so except to see it it could be. I have not used the features to hook it up so the customer can see it over the TV but I have walked out and shown them video. Over all if your thinking about it quite thinking and get it. February 17, 2012
Great for inspection work!! I used this product just the other day, fits in tight places and works about a 1000 times better than an inspection mirror September 1, 2011
Great Product Much better than the videoscope, smaller and more manueverable. Pan feature is a lttle weak but overall 1000 times better than the videoscope. Well worth the money. January 8, 2013
The best video scope on the market... Every mechanic needs one. I have used a few of the other scopes on the market. This scope has the same features as one or two of the others, but not all in one package. The rechargeable battery pack, the capability of recording video, audio, or digital stills, and the ability to zoom make this the best in my opinion. The 5.5mm camera head is perfect for viewing the inside of engine cylinders, the longer / stiffer camera lead makes it optimal for diesel and heavy equipment work. October 10, 2011
camera plug needs better quality This is a very good camera! That being said, it could be better. The camera pipe as it attatches to the main unit needs to be upgraded. To keep the camera in the box you have to disconnect the camera pipe. The plug has broken 2 times because of this. It needs to be upgraded or the box it comes in needs to be redesigned so you don't have to unplug the camera pipe to put it away. March 14, 2012
wish i had this a long time ago I recently purchased this product. I found that it is great for cylinder wall inspections as well as pistons and valves. Great for taking pictures and videos and even locating the occasional lost small socket or bit. September 18, 2011
this is the top of the line i just bought this and fell in love with this every technician has to have one of these in your tool box October 11, 2011

Simple Pleasures
Tennis on a warm sunny day, taking a long bike
ride, planning a vacation, laughing with my
daughters, enjoying a good meal, spending time
with my boyfriend, Murray.
Spending a day at the spa with girlfriends is
such a treat. We start the day off with a workout
in the gym, followed by a yoga or stretch class.
We change into our bathing suits and head poolside
for lunch and a little sun. After a Jacuzzi,
sauna, and steam, we indulge in our favorite
body treatments such as a massage, facial, or
body wrap. It's a true escape that leaves me
feeling healthy, pampered, and rejuvenated.
Top 3 Goals Right
1. To help guide my two daughters (20-year-old
Dana and 18-year-old Carly)
through their college years and young adulthood.
2. To increase my knowledge and maintain focus
in building my painting business so that I can
ensure continued growth and success.
3. To find and maintain balance between business,
family, friends, and self.
DHC Products
My favorite product is Mild Soap. I love how
it leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth but
not tight. Another great product is Hydrating
Nighttime Moisture. I use it in the morning
and at night to soothe and hydrate my skin.
Antiox C and Tocophero E Cream make my skin
feel strong and look radiant without being heavy.
I use Facial Scrub once a week. I love how smooth
my skin is afterward. I use Velvet Skin Coat
for smoother makeup that lasts all day. Hair
Treatment is great for my color-treated, sun-bleached
hair. As I am outdoors a lot and wash my hair
daily due to gym workouts, Hair Treatment is
one of my favorites; my hair has never looked
so good. So far, I have loved every DHC product
I have tried.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is.

Eve – Keep Me From You Lyrics
[Intro: Dawn Richard]
I don't care what they say, I'm in love
There ain't enough money in the world
Go together like hip-hop, smooches, our lips lock
Together like get hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop
[Verse 1: Eve]
So you want a black Porsche, knew I was in love
Come on up a brown skin, yea give it up
Fell so hard, won't you come and pick me up?
Had a taste once and I can't get enough
Mesmerized by the gleam in yoir eyes
Takin it back by the swag in your stride
I done got picked up by the love boat
Eat it up, go hard with yo love girl
[Hook: Dawn Richard]
I don't care what they say, I'm in love
There ain't enough money in the world
Boy together I get high, smooches, our lips lock
Together I get high, get high
Nothing can keep me from you
Nothing can keep me from you
Keep me from you, keep me from you
[Verse 2: Eve]
You know that thief in the night
Stole my heart so you better treat it right
I ain't even wanna listen what my friends say
Cause I know that it's all just jealousy
Is it punched or ?
Or could it just be infatuation?
Uh, whatever that is
Time will tell, I don't care, let's live
For the nightless world
Alien love, wanna be your girl
Milk chaser, stumbling
When I get next to you I'm mumbling
If a chick try to step up we rumbling
Want a future with you like remember boy
[Verse 3: Eve]
You're so much more than a crush
I'm down like the Chevy on dubs
On lock, like a pair of handcuffs
Your house is my home, let me get my stuff
I'm sick, don't need no medicine
Cupid shot me in the heart; veteran
I'm gone, ain't no coming back
Drunk off love, drank too much of that
[Hook x2]

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The Mid-American Conference released its preseason coaches' poll Wednesday afternoon, with the Central Michigan volleyball program picked to finish third in the tough MAC West.
The MAC West once again looks to be very competitive as each of the top three teams received multiple first-place votes. Northern Illinois was picked to win the west division with five first-place votes, while Western Michigan and the Chippewas received four and three first-place votes respectively.
CMU returns four starters, as well as libero Jenna Coates, and seven letterwinners from their squad that finished 9-7 in the MAC last season and 16-14 overall. In addition to Coates, the Chippewas also return senior setter Kelly Maxwell, junior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre, freshman middle blocker Angelique White and senior middle blocker Danielle Gotham.
Defending MAC Tournament champion Bowling Green was picked to win the east division and received four first-place votes along with Ohio as the favorite to win the MAC Tournament at the SPIRE Institute in November.
CMU opens the regular season this Friday at the Golden Grizzle Invite versus the host Golden Grizzlies at 7 p.m. The MAC season will begin for the Maroon and Gold with their first home match of the season on Sept. 27 versus Toledo.

AUSTIN -- A recent assault on Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo highlights a recent increase in aggressive panhandling and downtown homeless crimes.
Scott Smith lives in a condo in downtown Austin. Smith, who is blind, says he has been physically assaulted by someone living on the streets within the past year.
"There have been an overwhelming number of incidents, but those that have been aggressive, about three," said Scott.
Downtown APD Commander Jason Dusterhoft tells KVUE News they received more than 900 calls last year -- regarding three homeless individuals alone.
"If we're focusing on three people, 900 times in one year, that's a problem," said Dusterhoft.
Video from a security camera downtown shows two women, one of them pregnant, walking downtown in July when a homeless man runs up, punches them and stumbles away.
The man was later arrested.
"They weren't even looking and he came up and struck both of them in the face," said Dusterhoft.
The most recent incident involved Chief Acevedo on September 3rd and ended in the arrest of 57-year-old Michael Fitzsimmons.
According to the arrest affidavit obtained by KVUE, the executive chef at Eddie V's in downtown Austin recognized Acevedo and asked him to help remove Fitzsimmons from restaurant property, where he was sleeping outside.
When Acevedo identified himself and tried to ask Fitzsimmons to leave, the affidavit reports Fitzsimmons started yelling, getting aggressive, and then he pushed the chief in the chest.
"I think it just speaks to the challenges we have with aggressive transients that don't want to abide by the rules of society," said Chief Acevedo.
Chief Acevedo says anybody who pushes someone, officer or civilian, can be arrested.

Code by Midnight~

Code by Midnight~

|| OOC :: Don't look for happiness, create it. ||

The Silent

Calypso | Midnight
17/17
Calypso can be a shy girl at first, though she really comes out of that shell once in awhile. She doesn't like to usually, though, because she feels that is a very awkward girl. In her silence, she often ponders on the things around her, trying to understand, considering that she is young for what she is.
The Chosen | Electro-Magnetism (a power crafted by me, so please do not use it. Seriously). The power of electro-magnetism is the gift to control the electro-magnetic field around her. That field is the field that holds all matter together, basically creates all things. She rarely uses her gift, though, since it can severely harm her, and if most people knew what she could do, they would probably be afraid of her or try to use her.
Crushing on none.
She is in no clubs or activites.

The Truthful

Mikael (Kael) | Midnight
17/unknown
Kael is a mysterious boy. He doesn't really share things with others, and he usually keeps to himself. He can be quite blunt, not caring about others feelings. He can be veyr dark and allurring, trying to get others to work for him and for his gain. He adores using others, and others using him. He is quite a boy when it comes to terms of being with girls, not really ever caring for specific ones.
Demon | Warmth
Curshing on none
No clubs or activites.
He craves blood.

The Dark

Libbitina (Libby) | Midnight
17 | Before time -- says she is 200, though.
Libby can really be one of the essences of darkness and destruction. She feels no compulsion, except for happiness out of destroyed. She has a knack for loving blood, even though she doesn't actually need it. A screaming soul is what she enjoys, and seduction is one of her expertise. She refers to those she has captured as her playthings, though that doesn't account for much.
Naga | Darkness
No clubs.
No crushes.
When she is in one of her demon forms, her legs morph into one, long snake trunk, displaying her naga side. Actually, some even beg to see this side of her, beg to have her take their blood, since it somehow is supposed to create some sort of joy or ecstacy in a person. In another, more "normal" demon form, she is wearing a long white dress, stained in blood. She has scars over her arms, and her back has scars as well, where wings should be (though they can appear on her will). Her name speaks for itself. The roman goddess of corpses and death, she probably being the one who had influenced the roman's to come up with that name, though of course she simply says she was named after her. Constantly, though, her eyes appear snake-like.

A public lecture by GABOR RITTERSPORN, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris, Centre d'Etudes des Mondes Russe, Caucasien et Centre-Europeen
The Moscow metro is a rare achievement of the Soviet regime continuing to receive virtually unanimous acclaim from post-Soviet citizens. Even those who decry it as a product of Stalinism recognize qualities of the subway's sumptuous architecture and decoration at least by taking it for spectacular kitsch.
The metro is expected to impress the world. It was intended to convey a clear message at the beginning. For fifty-five years the architecture and decoration had been meant to manifest a will to represent and celebrate the Soviet project, which was supposedly the construction of a radically new world of abundance, justice and happiness. The post-Soviet metro is also grappling with the task of representing values, those of the New Regime's architects.
One can make sense of Soviet and post-Soviet imageries of the best of possible worlds through interpreting the decoration of the underground and putting it in historical perspective. The exercise may reveal meanings contemporaries have been unlikely to grasp. It can also open eyes on trends historians are not necessarily aware of.

great save the date
Royal Emblem Save the Date Cards My fiance and I loved this design and were so excited that we could put one of our engagement photos on the back. Pros: - arrived incredibly fast (like 5 days from order) - packaged nicely - sent more than I ordered for free (I have about 20 extras) - Excellent photo print quality - Paper is glossy and I don't know why this surprised me, but it looks great for the photo - VERY easy to customize - Inexpensive Cons: - I was a little disappointed with the print quality for the front side of the card (the Royal Emblem side) because it just seemed a little cheap We will be ordering the Royal Emblem invitation as well, which according to the sample have higher quality printing than the save the date :)

30 June 2010
The value of the average residential property in Yarra rose by 10%, from $565,000 to $622,000, in the two years to January 2010, according to Council's bi-annual revaluation.
The suburbs which experienced the highest average growth in residential value were Fairfield (15.97%), Collingwood (15.08%) and Alphington (14.81%).
At the other end of the scale, North Carlton (4.60%), Princes Hill (5.66%) and Cremorne (6.34%) experienced the lowest average growth in residential home values.
Fitzroy (13.93%) and Richmond (11.03%) both had above average increases. Within suburbs, there can be significant variations in values according to matters such as housing style, age and size.
All Victorian Councils are required to reassess the property values in their municipality every two years. A standard rate in the dollar is then applied to these values to determine the rates payable for each property. Council will reduce its rate in the dollar this year to compensate for the rise in property values to ensure that total rate revenue increases by 4.5%, as outlined in Council's 2010/2011 Budget.
Yarra Mayor Cr Jane Garrett said fluctuations in property values across different parts of Yarra and across different property sectors would determine the actual rate increase for individual property owners.
"A majority of ratepayers will see their rates increase by less than the total rate revenue increase of 4.5%, but property owners who have seen significant increases in the value of their properties can expect to see their rates increase above this figure," Cr Garrett said.
"Many property owners will be quite happy to see their values rise above the average, but one of the consequences of that is that they are expected to increase their contribution to the rates that Council collects to provide its services," she said.
"Council is aware that an increase in property value doesn't necessarily mean that all property owners have an increased capacity to pay and so we have increased our rates rebate for pensioners to $125 this year. This is on top of the rebate provided by the State Government, which will be $187.60 in 2010/2011.
"Our rates rebate, which has quadrupled since 2007, will be one of the highest in Victoria, and is just one of the ways we are working to ensure people on low incomes can continue to call Yarra home."
Cr Garrett said that while there was a common misconception that increased property values meant more rates funds for Council, the reality was that the revaluation did not increase the total rate revenue collected by Council. She said that would be 4.5%, regardless of the revaluation.
The average rate notice for a residential property in Yarra for 2010/2011 is expected to be $1309, compared with $1258 for 2009/2010.

Leafs Fans Robbed Of Memorable '93 Reunion
Now, I for one dislike the "coulda, woulda, shoulda" debate when it comes to the National Hockey League Hockey Hall Of Fame. Â After all, I think it somewhat demeans and disregards the accomplishments of those who are selected, and that simply isn't right.
No one knows better than I do how much Dino Ciccarelli deserves the call to the Hall.  I have been telling more or less anyone who will listen for a number of years that I thought he belonged.  I couldn't be happier for  Angela James and Cammi Granato, the first female players to be enshrined.  And Jim Devellano and Daryl "Doc" Seamen are both incredibly intelligent men who deserve their spot along hockey's greatest.
But as a Leafs fan, it's hard not to feel selfishly snubbed once again. Â With yesterday's vote for the Hall of Fame here and gone for another year, the only thing I could think of wasn't what was, but what could have been.
And what could have been would have been really special.

I have a page that uses the Fancybox script and it takes Dreamweaver 50 seconds to open this page.
This script requires jQuery, so in the head of my page I have this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
If I comment that line out, the page opens immediately. Also, if I disable "Enable Related Files", the page opens immediately... neither option is a good one of course.
It's my guess that dreamweaver is retrieving and parsing the remote jQuery file which is what is slowing things down. How to I stop dreamweaver from going after remote files???
I was hoping setting "Discover Dynacially-Related Files" to "Disabled" would do the trick, but trying that has led me to another problem that I posted in a different topic which is that Dreamweaver won't save the selection for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files". That option always returns to "Manually".
Any ideas how to stop dreamweaver from retrieving remote files?
Can anyone confirm the above please?
Maybe try sticking the following line in a test page and see if your copy of Dreamweaver CS5 (after restarting, and with "Enable Related Files" checked) takes a long time to open that page?
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
If anyone knows how to stop dreamweaver from fetching a remote file like the above without completely turning off "Enable Related Files", it would be greatly appreciated.
How about downloading the file and keep it in the local site?
Everytime you try to use it Dreamweaver must download it.
Ken Ford
Thanks Ken. I saved a copy and Dreamweaver now opens the page much quicker. This is my first time using a script that depends on jquery and that was how the script example showed jquery being fetched, but yeah, don't really see why I should keep getting it that way( don't like the idea of depening on a file from someone else's sever anyway :-D ). But in the future, Dreamweaver should maybe have an option to prevent getting remote files as remote files may be necessary or at least very useful at times and Dreamweaver being so slow to open them would be hard to handle.
Thanks again!
I have disabled Related files and still it takes about 60sec/1min to open any first file. I keep getting the spinning ball, and the application is unresponsive in that that time. it doesn't matter what site I'm opening up! Opening my first file always takes about a minute. I have extensions installed by 3rd party, namely Webassist exensions.
Is anybody else having this problem, or can you give me a solutions.
Thank you!
I've been having this same issue with Dreamweaver CS5 since it came out.
I'll try to open up a 5kb file and it'll take long enough for me to go drain the lizard and wash my hands for it to finally open.
Ken Ford says "How about downloading the file and keep it in the local site? Everytime you try to use it Dreamweaver must download it."
I say "How about fixing it so it doesn't do that?" Web browsers don't need to download the remote file to use them. If the files are remote, chances are they are going to be read-only and you're not going to be able to upload any changes to a server you don't have write priveledges to anyway. Dreamweaver would be perfect accept for this major flaw. Time is money, and this "feature" of Dreamweaver wastes time...
I am having the same issue - ever since CS5 came out. Certain files just takes a long time to load.
I have the same problem opening pages that contain googlesyndication scripts (AdSense)
Hello, Mark et al.
The issue you describe sounds like the one described in this knowledgebase document:
Try out the solution posted there and hopefully that will help you.
Thanks Carey. The knowledgebase article you referenced did the trick on my windows machine. I wasn't having the same wait times as others but even waiting 5 seconds to open an ASPX file in code view is rediculous. Thanks again!
Good job Carey, the problem is fixed, thanks for the support
Ya gotta love forums that are populated with helpful information! Thanks Carey. I've been struggling with this recently, and this worked perfectly. I'm stoked.
Im on a mac with CS5 and I have started getting an issue with one of my sites where it is slow to open the files. I tried following the steps in the article you attached here but I can not find that preference file at /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences. In fact, I don't have a library under /users/my name.
I can open files fine on a different site, but for some reason just this one is giving me trouble.
Assuming you are using Mac OS 10.7 Lion, then the user Library folder is hidden by default. To access it, in the Finder, hold down the Option (or Alt) key and click the Go menu. When you have Option held down, you will see Library there, which you can click on to open it.

FastFlow is a pattern-based programming framework targeting streaming applications. It implements pipeline, farm, divide and conquer, and their composition, as well as generic streaming networks. It is specifically designed to support the development and the seamless porting of existing applications on multi-core, GPGPUs, and clusters of them. The layered template-based C++ design ensures flexibility and extendibility. Its lock-free/fence-free run-time support minimizes cache invalidation traffic and enforces the development of high-performance (high-throughput, low-latency) scalable applications. It has been proven comparable or faster than TBB, OpenMP, and Cilk on several micro-benchmarcks and real-world applications, especially when dealing with fine-grained parallelism and high-throughput applications.
Concurrency Kit provides a plethora of concurrency primitives and lock-less and lock-free data structures designed to aid in the design and implementation of high performance scalable concurrent systems. It was designed to minimize dependencies on operating system-specific interfaces, and most of the interface relies only on a strict subset of the standard library and more popular compiler extensions.
libLunchbox facilitates the development and deployment of multi-threaded applications. It provides OS Abstraction, using utility classes abstracting common operating system features (such as threads, locks, memory maps, shared library loading, and condition variables), high-performance primitives (including thread-safe utilities tuned for performance, such as atomic variables, spin locks, and lock-free containers), and utility classes (including helper primitives which are not in the standard library, such as logging, pools, and random number generation).

If you go hog wild over Hogwarts, or freak out over the Cirque du Freak series, or thank the gods for The Lightning Thief, then you're probably psyched about the new movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice hitting theaters July 14th.
In this movie, Balthazar (played by Nicholas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern day New York City. He's trying to defend the city from his nemesis Maxim (played by Alfred Molina whom you may remember as Doc Ock in Spiderman 2!) but he can't do it alone. So he recruits a boy named Dave, a self-proclaimed physics nerd who has no interest in being a hero. Mix in some magic, lots of action, great CGI effects, and of course the ancient evil forces of darkness, and what do you get? The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Plus, the movie was created by the same people who did National Treasure (rated PG), including the uber-famous Jerry Bruckheimer who did the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy (rated PG-13) and Armageddon (rated PG-13). Ok, enough name dropping.
Create a Caption!
Take a look at this action shot straight from the movie. Alfred Molina is the fire-breathing, evil villain who battles Balthazar and Dave. But you might not think so from this picture. What do you imagine he is thinking? Leave your caption in the Comments!

Kaká eyed to replace Beckham, says Galaxy ownership president
Story Highlights
"He's aware of our interest in him," Tim Leiweke said of Brazilian star Kaká
Leiweke is the president of AEG, which owns the Cup finalist Los Angeles Galaxy
In 2007, Leiweke stunned many by signing David Beckham to a five-year deal
LOS ANGELES -- The man who landed David Beckham for the Los Angeles Galaxy told SI.com that he wants Beckham's Galaxy replacement to be Kaká, Real Madrid's 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder who won the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year award.
"We're well aware of Kaká's interest in MLS, and we in turn have made it very clear to him that he's aware of our interest in him," said Tim Leiweke, the president of AEG, which owns the Galaxy. "We have a great relationship with Real Madrid, and just as we worked through a player with them six years ago [Beckham], I'm absolutely convinced we could find the right deal this time, too."
Leiweke's words will reverberate everywhere from the U.S. to Madrid to Rio de Janeiro for a simple reason: When this power broker speaks, you have to listen. In January 2007, Leiweke stunned the sports world by signing Beckham to a five-year contract when the English superstar was still just 31, several years before anyone thought Beckham would come to the United States.
If L.A. could land Kaká (pronounced ka-KAW) at the same age -- he turns 31 next April -- Leiweke and the Galaxy think he has enough in the tank to be a star in MLS for a five-year period as well. Granted, Kaká has dealt with injury issues since moving to Real Madrid on an $84 million transfer in 2009, and he has played in just eight games for José Mourinho's team in all competitions this season. But Kaká also started for Brazil in its last three friendlies, a sign that he may be on his way back to being a full-time contributor on the national team ahead of World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
Leiweke's declared intention to sign Kaká is bad news for Frank Lampard, the longtime Chelsea star who sources say has been interested in joining the Galaxy to fill Beckham's Designated Player slot. Lampard would be available as a free agent next summer when he finishes his Chelsea contract, but he would also be 35 years old and not a long-term solution. Nor would Lampard be as appealing as Kaká to the Latino demographic that Leiweke says is crucial for the Galaxy to win over.
Beckham's departure "leaves us a [Designated Player] slot, and we're going to be very patient on that slot," Leiweke said. "I'm very proud of the fact we have a lot of people that are interested in the Galaxy. By the way, I'm a huge Frank Lampard fan, and I personally have great respect for him. I've gotten to spend some time with him, and he's an unbelievably good guy. Is he the right fit for our team now for what we need?"
Later on in our interview, which took place at AEG's $2.5 billion L.A. Live complex, Leiweke essentially answered his own question by saying that he and Galaxy coach and general manager Bruce Arena agree that Kaká would be a better fit with the Galaxy. One big reason: The Galaxy's new 10-year, $55 million local television deal with Time Warner Cable's regional sports channels, one in English and one in Spanish.
"Bruce and I happen to be on the same page about where we need to go next," Leiweke said. "This next person has to be able to not only fit what Bruce needs on the pitch, but more importantly we're an ever-changing demo in this marketplace, and we have to pay attention to that. It's critical that we do the one thing we have never been able to do yet with the Galaxy, although we've tried. There is a Hispanic Latino population base we have to go conquer, and we haven't."
"I do think we have more of a Hispanic audience than people give us credit for, because they like the style we play and that we win. But that said, we have tried at various times -- [Carlos] Ruiz, [Luis] Hernández, a few different players -- and I don't think we've ever found the right guy who ultimately captivates that marketplace."
"That marketplace is critical because of our Time Warner deal," Leiweke continued. "We now have a Time Warner Latino channel that we are very focused on. It was a major reason that we made the deal with them. And as much as we understand the Lakers are the mothership, on the Hispanic channel the Galaxy has a chance of being an equal partner to the Lakers as to the demand, and we get that. But we'd better build a team that ultimately acknowledges the demos and how they're changing. We're going to be very careful with that [Designated Player] slot."
AEG and the Galaxy will have to be careful in their push for Kaká for a few reasons:
Kaká's Real Madrid contract. Two more seasons remain on Kaká's deal, according to a source close to Real Madrid. While I'm told the Spanish giant would sell him for less money to an MLS team than to a potential Champions League rival like AC Milan, it's unlikely the club would let him go for free. The Galaxy have been willing to pay relatively small transfer fees as it did for Robbie Keane, but the transfer fee could be a sticking point.
Other suitors outside the U.S. are interested in Kaká. The player's best days took place at Milan, which could bring him back, and newly flush Brazilian clubs like Flamengo may also be interested in bringing Kaká back to the country where he started his career.
The New York Red Bulls may want Kaká, too. Kaká publicly expressed his interest in playing for New York before Brazil's recent friendly against Colombia in New Jersey. He owns an apartment in Manhattan, and his brother Digão plays for the Red Bulls. However, New York already has all three of its DP slots filled (with Thierry Henry, Tim Cahill and Rafa Márquez), so one of them (Márquez?) would have to depart for Kaká to be able to join the team.
Even then, MLS' rules prevent teams like New York and Los Angeles from competing against each other to sign star players from abroad by getting into bidding wars. According to MLS rules, dibs go to the team that files a "discovery claim" first on a player. (See the section on Discovery Signings here.) An MLS source said no team has filed a discovery claim on Kaká yet, adding that if N.Y. and L.A. were to file a claim on Kaká on the same day (at the start of the next discovery window) the league would likely have to get involved to settle things.
One thing is clear, though: Leiweke's stated interest in Kaká is something New York has yet to match publicly, and L.A. actually has a DP slot free with Beckham's departure. To hear Leiweke talk, his main concern is Real Madrid and whether or not the club will try to play hardball on a transfer fee. Patience isn't exactly Leiweke's strong suit, but he understands that may be required here. "As you know, sometimes the summer window is more important than the winter window [in MLS]," he said. "We do know where we're going, and that may mean we've got to be patient.
"It's up to Real Madrid to tell us when they want to engage. But [Kaká] is a player within their system, and because I am a fan and a partner of Real Madrid, we will absolutely follow their lead on whether or not they want to have this conversation and when they want to have it. In the meantime, I'm not going to go out and do anything that ultimately prevents us from having that conversation."

I recently installed CS 5.5 on my Windows 7 Machine. When I first installed everything I did the initial update and all was well. Since then an update for Camera Raw came out and I have attempted to update the suite. I use the normal path Help > Updates Once the Updater Launches this is the error I receive:
The update server is not responding. The server might be offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect. Please try again later. Error Code: U41M1C212
I know the server is not offline as I can launch the updater from my other machine (which is Win XP) and it connect fine. I have disabled every firewall on my computer and attempted the update and still nothing.
Any ideas on what I should try or what steps I should take?
Not really, but these cryptic errors often mean that the product/ updater database or some related config file is damaged. In that case you would have to clear the pertinent files in your user directory (Users\Lynda\AppData\... etc.) and possibly also the global files in the updater folder (Program Files (x86)\Common\Adobe\... and so on). There's also some article on that on teh knowledge base, I just can't seem to find it ATM...
try if this helps
That worked. Would be nice if the above error code had tat KB Article in the search results.
I have forwarded your suggestion to the updater team and thanks for the update.
1- Go to network and Sharing Center
2- Click on Change adapter settings
3- Richt click in Microsoft WIFI Miniporter adapter.
4- Disable it.
Go ahead and update whatever you want.
The suggested fix didn't work for me, but I discovered an AKamai NetSession Interface Control in the windows control panel. It has the option to empty the cache and an option to stop and restart the service. That worked for me.
I thought I'd mention it in case the first suggestion didn't work for others.
where exactly in the control panel did you find the Akamai?...I can't find it on my computer and the error code fix did not work for me
thanks for your time
In windows control panel. You may need to change your view inside Control Panel if you are looking at the basic view. XP and Windows 7 let you get a more detailed look at control panel. In windows 7, Control Panel has a 'view by:' option in the upper right. If you choose small icons, you will see tons of controls that were hidden. I can't remember the XP version except that it is on the left side of the window.
There are a lot of controls hidden by the default view in Control Panel.
Unfortunately I still get the same error message despite doing the below
1- Go to network and Sharing Center
2- Click on Change adapter settings
3- Richt click in Microsoft WIFI Miniporter adapter.
4- Disable it.
AKamai NetSession Interface Control in the windows control panel. It has the option to empty the cache and an option to stop and restart the service
thanks again for your help
I'm sorry it didn't work.
I have the same problem on my laptop only.
There is neither this wifi virtual adapter, nor this akamai thing.
It just doesnt work! I have Windows Xp on both.
I could install the ACR update manually, but I was not able to find the update for Photoshop 12.1!
To me, this does not look like a problem of the laptop, since all other programs run smoothly.
The problem is Adobes Updater software which is just plainly spoken, very badly programmed!
Actually the KB mentioned above is inaccurate. The problem is related to the fact that sometimes Adobe Product Update mixes active network interfaces and gets stuck while making a connection. To solve the issue, go to your Network Adapters section in Control Panel and disable all network interfaces that are unplugged. For starters only leave the one which provides your computer with Internet access. Then try Adobe Updater again, it should work. Once you are done updating, for trial-error purposes start enabling those disabled network interfaces one-by-one and try Adobe Updater again, thus determining which specific network adapter is the cause of the problem.
For me, it was Bluetooth interface
Yay! Thank you soooooooo much...that was it exactly! I appreciate you taking the time to post!
Mine was my virtual wireless adaptor
This can also happen with "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" I had it stop working again and tried Shehi's method and it was the Microsfot Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapater.
Good ingo Shehi
Brilliant! Worked for me at last having tried tried everything. Miniport adaptor (don't kow why it was there) had to be disabled and then it all worked fine.
This works and is simple. That's how it should be. Thanks!!!!!
