Do you think this crosses a line between whats permissible when people are in a non professional environment Vs a professional one?
For me its bad enough that the Religious feel that it is OK to come to peoples homes and attempt to share their beliefs (aka convert you). There is little you can do other than hose them down as they approach screaming "No, No, Shoo, get out of here, scat" while flailing your free hand around like your trying to chase raccoons out of your garbage. You can't help but think that is bad enough but to have them come to a place of business is a new low.
In the workplace I maintain a very strict professionalism. Most people know that I am atheist but we do not discuss this at work, period. I painfully tolerate clients or other business people that slip in the occasional "bless you" or "God be with you" but all else has never been an issue.
So when a volunteer business rep, as she put it, came into my office moments ago to hand me an Awake Magazine; How to Manage Money. I took it politely and immediately flipped it over to the back. I thought it was cute how she tried to hand it to me in away that I wouldn't notice the back first. I've learned over the years that these people like to put a seemingly warm fuzzy feeling non religious cover on the front of these books but a quick flip and BAM, "How to be God's Friend".
The minute I flipped it open and began scanning the pages for the content she went into her rehearsed role of trying to convince me how these times were plaguing all of us and in these times we are all thinking of how God can help us. That is before the End Times come upon us.
Now it could be that I am a little over worked. It could even be that I am hosting a giant Thanksgiving bash at my place for all the misfits and I still have a shopping to do, which is a nightmare in itself. More than likely it's all of the above but I set her book down looked up at her and said "You are far off the normal beat aren't you? You do realize this is a place of business and not a residential area. I get that your organization feels the need to interrupt our home life more often then not but this is my office you're in and there are people here that are trying to work. I have a no soliciting sign for a reason. I get that you feel that you are above solicitation but I don't see it that way. Besides we have two Catholics, four Christians, and an Atheist working in this office, can you guess which one I am?"
She asked me what my name was and went out of the office so quickly that she left the front door wide open.
I still am dumbfounded that they are coming into the work place like they are trying to sell me a copier for my office. If "God" can produce perfect color copies in 1 second or less double sided... I may reconsider. Hehe, I mean seriously?

Thanks for sharing this. Yeah where is Xerox-Jesus when you need him?
And on the page about the egg... what I don't understand is how people don't get, referring to the two last questions on the page, that it is neither.
I think you handled the situation perfectly. I probably wouldn't have been so polite...heh!
lol Yeah Clary, I had a teacher when I was young that kept saying how, "God (the 'father' apparently) pulls his wallet out and shows pictures of you to Jesus." Absolutely bankrupt.
Oh no, do not tell me that brochure was made especially for Atheist? LOL
In a funny way, it seems they added a monkey to appeal to us Atheist and evolutionary people that monkeys (ancestors and companion) are also welcomed in god's kingdom. LOL
Ape is our lineage for first, and for second I want a dog for my kids, not a monkey. LOL
I work at a public library and I had someone hand me a small pamphlet titled "How can I know I'm on my way to Heaven?", just this evening! I handed her the books she was checking out and she handed me this . . . thing. I was appalled, but there is nothing I can say or do while I am working because I have to give ALL of the patrons in our library equal service and equal treatment - which sometimes sucks. I feel your pain!
I wish I could copy nature. I'd have genitals and tits all over the fucking place. Instead, I'm up to my nose in TPS reports.
Amy L. Cook, isn't there a "circular file" (trashcan) nearby you can put garbage like that into? Hopefully somewhere the idiots can see where their trash ends up. Politely, of course.
Oh, yeah, there is a circular file right at my feet, and that's exactly where the dang thing went. LOL

This is nothing like a comprehensive guide to the literature, although I do discuss some real bibliographies. I cover a few works of scholarship, and those not necessarily my favorites they're the ones that I think are most important for a beginner to know, the most often quoted, though not always the most thought-provoking. And this guide is unabashedly opinionated, though I hope my preferences aren't often perversely far from the mainstream. Still, it might be useful for people who've received no more formal introduction to Johnson studies.
I don't pretend for a minute that this guide is anywhere near complete or comprehensive it was prepared off the top of my head. I don't know whether my omissions of important material are more grievous than the outright errors that are doubtless in here somewhere. But it might be useful to someone just getting started, and, since it's free, it would be a bargain at twice the price. I welcome comments and corrections; my address appears below.

Living with Real Wood furniture is easy and maintaining your furniture will help your new purchase today become an heirloom of tomorrow. Follow these easy steps to perserve your new quality furniture.
To clean simply use a soft cloth such as an old white t-shirt moistened in Orange Oil Polish. Reuse the same cloth for light dusting. Click here to view Polishes and Cleaners.
Protect your finish
NEVER use glass or household cleaners on finished furniture. Ammonia will chemically attack and damage the finish.
Prevent Yellowing
Do not use commercial waxes and spray polishes. Do not place in direct sunlight. Polish items frequently if exposed to direct sunlight.
Prevent Splitting
Maintain even humidity conditions in your home.
Prevent Damage
Do not place hot pots and laptops directly on surface. Laptops can get extemely hot on the bottom, just like a hot pot. When left on a wood surface for an extended period, damage may occur. Use a trivet or placemat.
Wipe up Spills
Wipe up spills immediately and dry completely with soft cloth. Do not clean wood surfaces with a wet sponge. Cleaning with water on a day to day basis will strip the finish off furniture. The finishes of today are designed to withstand spills as long as they are wiped up and not left to dry.
Size does matter when shopping for furniture
Measure your Components
Measure your television and other components that you would like to place in your furniture. If you have special collectibles - a fine piece of Lladro or a special vase - note the measurements. Always buy your television before your furniture and have the outside dimensions available. Width x Depth x Height. Manufacture television sizes vary widely, and the "size" television has no reflection on the actual width and height of the TV.
Measure for Delivery
It is important that your furniture be delivered through all entryways, elevators and up all stairways. Measure the height and width of your entryways, including staircases, hallways, elevator doors and interiors. Make note of any fixtures, decorative moldings, interior walls, ceiling heights, stairwells and banisters that may pose an obstacle once inside. Consider the furniture to be delivered and determine if it can go straight through entryways or if it will have to go in at an angle or on end. Please consult with a salesperson if you have even the slightest doubt. We can help you determine if the furniture can be delivered into your room, and we can suggest products can be ordered in two pieces for easier access.
We are Here to Help
Our staff is trained to work with your space, your needs, and your style. Bring us your dimensions, and a drawer, shelf or door from a piece in the room for sample color.

Outreach Activities
Staff at the Office of Governmental Affairs promote effective communications within the judicial branch and with the legislative and executive branches of state government by coordinating and staffing outreach activities with groups such as the Bench/Bar Coalition (BBC), the California Judges Association, and the California Courts Association-Legislative Committee.
Day on the Bench
The Day-on-the-Bench is a statewide program co-sponsored by the California Judges Association in which legislators will spend approximately a half day visiting a court in the legislator's district. During the visit, the legislator will observe court proceedings, tour court facilities, meet with a host judge and perhaps the presiding judge and court administrator, and discuss issues of mutual concern about the courts and the judiciary.
The program is designed to give legislators a personal understanding of the volume, complexity, and variety of daily duties and responsibilities of a judge, as well as an understanding of the conditions of the court. This experience is intended to impress upon legislators the significant role played by the courts and the justice system, their impact on the daily lives of Californians, and the need for legislative support.
Liaison Program
Related to its advocacy function, the liaison program is the Office of Governmental Affairs' ongoing effort to maintain contact and work cooperatively with groups involved in the judicial system, including the California Judges Association (CJA), the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), the California District Attorneys Association (CDAA), the State Bar, plaintiffs' and defense bars, and others. Where our positions on issues concur, we form alliances to enhance our advocacy efforts. When our positions on particular issues differ, we negotiate to reach agreement whenever possible. Working with other groups toward achieving common goals has been a longstanding historical component of OGA's work.
Statewide Bench/Bar Coalition
In 1993, under the leadership of the California Association of Local Bars (CALB), a statewide Bench/Bar Coalition (BBC), (Membership Application) was established to enhance communication and coordinate activities between the judicial community and the state, local, and specialty bars on issues of common interest, particularly in the legislative arena. In addition to conference calls and in-person meetings, the BBC meets with legislators at the State Capitol during "Day in Sacramento" activities.

Please delete the Adobe Fireworks cookies and Application Data
Just Delete the Fireworks file in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data.
Hopes that help you.
2. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemDrKanukie Sep 9, 2010 8:21 AM (in response to BrownChiLD03)
Same problem with 12GB of RAM - same platform - Windows 7 doesn't have that pathname to clear the cookies?
3. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemMichel Bozgounov Sep 11, 2010 4:26 AM (in response to BrownChiLD03)
For Fireworks, it doesn't matter how much RAM you have installed -- it handles memory in a very specific manner, and cannot use more than ~ 2 GB of RAM. Once this memory is exausted for it, Fw will become instable.
My suggestions -- to avoid this kind of problem:
1) Reduce number of UNDO steps to approx. 100. (this can be set in Preferences)
2) When working with large files and/or with many files, periodically restart Fireworks (after a few hours of extensive work), wait until Fireworks.exe disappears from running processes, then start it again.
Working in this manner will probably make this error never appear...
Hope this helps!
4. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemjeffnoyes1121 Oct 12, 2010 10:51 AM (in response to Michel Bozgounov)
I get the same problem and my undo steps are set to 20. Just a ****** product with a ****** development team.
5. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemAquasixpack Oct 14, 2010 8:16 AM (in response to BrownChiLD03)
I've got the same problem too and it doesn't matter how many undo-steps I've configured. Closing other Fireworks documents and other running programs gives you 2 or 3 more edit steps until the error message appears again. According to Task-Manager Fireworks only uses not more than 400 MB of my 3,24 GB memory (Win XP SP3)
My Document:
10 Pages, 10 to 20 Styles, 15 Layers (mostly shared), ca. 205 objects with groups (ungrouped ca. 500)
Every 2 hours Fireworks needs a restart.
It seems to be a very very strongheaded bug, because it's reported from users since CS3 (afaIk). But I'm very thankful. In CS5 at least I can save my work after the error message appears.
I don't give up hope, that someday this bug (and many others) will be fixed.
@Adobe: Is a bugfixing-update on schedule (in the near future)?
6. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemmandrzej Oct 20, 2010 7:36 AM (in response to BrownChiLD03)
The same problem here with FW CS5 from Master Collection. Windows 7, 64bit, 8GB RAM, i5.
7. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemJason MacKinnon Nov 5, 2010 9:39 AM (in response to mandrzej)
The actual problem is with GDI objects not RAM. CS5 doesn't do a good job of cleaning them up when you close documents. Closing Fireworks every few hours will correct the problem because app is removed from memory but this shouldn't be needed. The dev team should be able to clear these objects when a document is closed so we don't have to restart the app so often. IMHO
If you want to view how many GDI objects are being used by any Windows application,
open Task Manager
select View from the tool bar
choose Select Columns
check the box next to GDI Objects
Click OK.

yes 7,000 of the things (GDI objects) in CS5 compared to 998 in CS3 doing
the same task
10. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemfabio_love Nov 11, 2010 9:47 AM (in response to BrownChiLD03)
from my experience fireworks cs5 crashes when it reach a limit of 1.4 gb of ram used
that is very little because many of the nowadays web projects is made by many pages and many objects images, vectorial
this program need to be 64 bit for serious users, who need to work with lots of multipage files
c'mon adobe just optimize this for users who have plenty of ram and lots of work
11. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemAloof Sep 12, 2011 2:06 AM (in response to BrownChiLD03)
Adobe is full of BS when it comes to the support of their products. This problem persists since years and nobody seems to care. Fireworks is thus an unusable product for any of the tasks it is claimed to have been developed for: multi-state prototyping, massive webdesign with the use of symbols, vector and bitmap cooperation.
I have a 16GB memory pool, this application however cannot cope with it, that's why I assemble my designs in Illustrator. (which is not suitable at all. It is not supporting states, it's slicing and pixel precision are very bad and unreliable)
But memory rules it all and crashes are not acceptable. I just wonder why we pay the thousands it costs for it.
12. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemTakashi Morifusa Oct 31, 2011 11:06 AM (in response to Aloof)
Unfortunately Adobe Fireworks CS5 is 32bit application and can access to maximum 2GB. That's 32bits application limitation. Thus, whether you have 8GB, 24GB RAM loaded, Fireworks phisically access to 2GB is the max. We are investigating this to improve memory access for the future version of Fireworks.
13. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemDoktorKanukie Nov 1, 2011 11:04 AM (in response to Takashi Morifusa)
Er how long do we have to wait for this 64bit version? I'm suprised it needs investigation because its been done for Photoshop already so do what they did. But I'm guessing the code is poorly architected due to its long legacy and that it makes a lot of built in assumptions on 32bit architecture so any port will be long and painful and expensive to manage.
CS3 didn't really need more than 2GB of memory because it was coded properly. CS5 is a massive memory leaking mess that creates way too many GDI objects and then exhausts its limited 32bit heap. The course is clear
- fix the ridiculous memory leaks in CS5
- port it to 64bit architecture
I'm guessing we see neither in CS6. I'm also guessing most fireworks users would trade pointless new features for a stable and reliable tool with the existing feature set - what say you users?
14. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemMichel Bozgounov Nov 26, 2011 7:50 PM (in response to DoktorKanukie)
As far as I know, Fw Team works hard to fix all memory issues! (And I hope to see better stability and increased max. memory limits in the next version of Fireworks.)
However, Fw Team may need your help.
Please, once you hit "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY" issue, submit a bug report here:
Include all helpful details (hardware configuration, Win version, Fw version, Fw preferences, etc.), attach Fw PNG files, and steps to reproduce (if possible),
This will greatly help the team address these issues!
Thanks in advance!
15. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemlisaellensegal Mar 7, 2012 6:42 AM (in response to BrownChiLD03)
I am having the same issues, and always have since I've installed CS5. It's nice to know that I'm not alone. My question is, exactly how do I save the file that I've been working on all day without losing what I've done (cross my fingers). Please tell me exactly what files to delete, and thier path. I am running windows 7, 64 bit, with 8gb ram, i7 processor.
Thanks so much.
P.S. It would be nice to fix this issue as Fireworks is a great program.
16. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemmzetlitz Mar 14, 2012 3:17 AM (in response to BrownChiLD03)
I have to agree with people here and it is worrisome to me that the first post was in 2010 and two years later, we experience the same issues.
Fireworks in the lifeblood of my professional work, I run a agency that utilizes Fireworks primarily doing UI,UX,IXD for all sorts of projects, from medium size business to high-ends.
Fireworks is the only application by Adobe and on the market that delivers the ability to work wireframes, vectorized, with pixel perfect interfaces, interaction work and full design compositions. Photoshop/Illustrator is inferior to FW when it comes to this and Adobe has to realise both the market and the advantage that they have with this. It becomes more critical as we move into new standards on the web and with apps.
I am quite frustrated that it requires no more than 100 objects in a sketch/file, a few pages, layers and a file of 2mb to turn FW into a slug. This is regardless of it being run on a Win7 i7 with 8gb of ram, an i7 Macook Air with 4gb or a Mac Pro Xeon 8 core with 32gb ram.
Moving objects, selecting objects, copy/paste and all sorts of minor adjustments are sluggish, respons jerky. It takes a restart once in a while, but it slugs down fast. A lot of the stuff is vector, from icons, to simple lines and objects (and no, Illustrator can't deliver what I need).
I'd rather see that Adobe fixes the memory/stability issues, than introducing new features. An example: While it might be useful for someone, drop everything from texture packs (nobody uses a Berber texture fill) to anything that competes with Photoshop/Illustrator where e.g. Photoshop does better (I am thinking touching up images etc).
What a lot of the users (based on fellow FW fans) would want, is a stable, responsive, well implemented software. We produce quality software for our customers and would like to see the same done for us (Adobe MC is expensive in Norway and I do not mind, but I want quality in return).
17. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemmzetlitz Mar 14, 2012 4:04 AM (in response to mzetlitz)
Ok, this is what I am talking about.
I have an larger size sketch for wireframes. Most of the stuff is vector, so it can be scaled up/down nicely.
Just doing a simple thing like rasterizing them, would eat up all the memory. I rasterezied all the vector but one icon (due to the memory issue).
So the issue is:
- I can rasterize (until a memory issue) in order for the file to be workable. Instead of 2mb+ I get it under 1mb.
- Working on a rasterized version defats the purpose, vector should work
- A simple thing like making a raster fast surfaces the memory leak
Again, been living with this for years and in many projects. Growing tired of it.

This is extremely annoying. Is Adobe listening? People are paying big bucks here to get their product and yet they got this. When I searched Adobe's KB, the suggestion was (laugh if you wish) max out your RAM and get a faster computer, Duh?

I think they are listening, but what is somewhat annoying is that fixes are included in a whole new product release, not backwards patched.
64Bit is the only feature in FW CS6 that I see as positive. People who design for the web, needs to know CSS. CSS/jQuery theme exports produces automated markup, hardly the most helpful feature. @font-face support etc, would have been so much more welcome.
While I do not mind paying high for working software, I am appalled that one has to live with a problem for so long. Some of the issues with FW has been present since CS3.
All kudos to Macromedia who once upon a time created these products, but they were not exactly know for producing stable products and their codebase (I know from LearningSpace 5, old Macromedia product) wasn't the best. I fear that lots of old code has been present all along, which explains a lot.
Adobe: With 64Bit support in FW CS6, I would like to know if this is a major rewrite of the core.

Fireworks CS6 is not 64bit app. There are many improvements in it: on Windows 7 64 bit, Fireworks will be able to use more RAM, and GDI objects issues has been fixed; but Fireworks remains 32bit app, nevertheless...
The reason why Fw CS5, for example, cannot receive a new patch, is that there were made some serious updates to the core, and simply updating older Fw version(s) would be too problematic...
21. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemmzetlitz Apr 27, 2012 12:33 AM (in response to Michel Bozgounov)
Thanks Michel, for the clearification.
My oh my, are you sure? Then why does Adobe have a clear "64 Bit" image on the feature list for Fireworks CS6?
By being able to run 32bit in a 64bit environment? That sounds outright lame.
GDI fix is very welcome of course.
So basically, the new features (until hopefully more are revealed) are:
* Bundling the mobile packs for CS5 with CS6
* Quicker access to colours
* Crossing fingers for serious community love
22. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemMichel Bozgounov Apr 27, 2012 12:50 AM (in response to mzetlitz)
Older versions of Fireworks use up to 2 GB of RAM on Win 32bit/64bit; CS6 will be able to use up to 3 GB (on 64bit Win).
List of new features is much longer -- I hope a detailed article (maybe on Smashing Mag?) may one day clear things up a bit!
23. Re: Fireworks CS5 = OUT OF MEMORY problemmzetlitz Apr 27, 2012 1:13 AM (in response to Michel Bozgounov)
I can't but help feeling that improving it to use only 3GB is a major lagging step.
If true, I am sure there is a reason, but it hardly does not compute.
Of course, I am not a developer, so up to 3GB might mean 3GB recycled.
Looking forward to that list. The community is dying to know what happens to Fireworks. Adobe should no doubt show it a lot more love.

A lot more love to Fireworks would be nice! However, I am not sure this will happen anytime soon...
Illustrator and Photoshop continue to copy Fireworks features:
...while development resources are quite limited for Fw...
Still, I like the fact that version CS6 is quite improved, and has a few nice new features. (Yep, that list should be published soon! The community definitely needs it.)

This is important. The developers working on Fireworks are no doubt doing their best and we know that their team is overshadowed by the flagship products.

Yes, they do their best for sure! Just look at Photoshop splash screen (Help > About...) and then at Fireworks screen... Then compare number of engineers and designers on both teams...

I think Adobe are seriously lacking with a vision for Fireworks - it is without doubt the best screen design tool for mobile/web and the best mobile asset production workflow tool also.
I look at my colleagues struggling with their byzantine photophop layer and seperate smart objects in illustrator and wonder why on earth Adobe don't they see that Fireworks is the future for a mobile design tool. I am a serious advocate for Fireworks but this sort of behaviour undermines the message, it is the best tool for the job. Because when it falls over people say I'm going back to Photoshop.
I also feel seriously on the edge and marginalised working on Windows in Fireworks when everyone else is working on Photoshop on Mac.
As for the memory issues I use CS3 now although I have a CS5 licence because CS3 will stay up all day without running out of memory. I just use CS5 to import the files for things like PDF output or to transfer files from Photoshop & Illustrator (though never with 100% fidelity) . 3GB will be better and to be honest a Fireworks file is a fraction of the size of a Photoshop bloatware file so we don't need ad much memory as that.
As for integrating the Fireworks best bits into Photoshop and Illustrator they are just adding more baggage to already bloated products and it will be hard to use the neat streamlines Fireworks features amongst all the historical dross freatures.
Features that should be integrated in the Fireworks core are things like sub-pixel nudging - relying on John Dunning to enhance the core product is lame. I could go on ...

Seeded second for the FSL playoffs, GFS easily advanced past number three George School by a 4-1 count in an October 26 semifinal match. Junior Schuyler Nissen scored twice and senior Katherine Walden and sophomore Greta Meyer fired the other two goals, while Myran shared time in the cage with sophomore Schuyler Alig.
In the league championship game last Thursday, visiting GFS fell victim to a successful penalty kick and succumbed to top-seeded Friends Central, 1-0. The Tigers ended their season in the opening round of the Pa. Independent Schools Championships the following afternoon.
Seventh-seeded Germantown hosted the contest, but number 10 Notre Dame avenged its regular-season loss with a 1-0 win in the rematch. The Tigers will be back largely intact next year, losing only Walden and senior classmate Sophie Mercuris off of the 2012 roster.

Sorry to have been so neglectful of late, but for a change I've had some chunks of solid thinking/writing time at work and have been focusing there. Of course, these chunks of time are being spent writing up my reappointment file, which is a significant piece of writing in and of itself.
Two of the issues I am struggling with for the dossier have been aired in this space, but expect to see more of them! Both pieces will find their homes here when they reach a happier form.
The first is the issue of 'focus', and specifically the friction between pressure from my higher ups to get more of it and the realities of my daily interests and actual job. I'm trying to articulate that my attention to multiple aspects of library user experience constitutes a form of focus, but I'm not sure I've convinced myself of that yet — especially because I think the external desire for my developing focus relates to some future potential desirability for me to define myself as a particular sort of professional. And I won't be happy with any rationalization of who I am until I finish thinking that one through. And if the convolutions pretending to be the above sentence made any sense to you, you have my deepest respect!
The second bit I'm working on has to do with scholarship, and specifically this blog as a form of soft scholarship. I launched this blog from twitter, where I hung out with a number of librarians I had no other relationship with, and have been very pleasantly surprised at developing a readership. Developing the readership came to define this space for me, and once the blog was no longer strictly a "practice writing" space, I also linked it from my name-affiliated places (facebook, and from my university profile), claiming it in a more official way as part of my professional identity.
Part of what makes this blog as a sort of scholarship into a viable statement has to do with my reappointment expectations; we are not a Research 1, and poster sessions and local conference sessions count heavily towards our scholarship criteria. And I think it's a very small jump from that to this blog. But that also begs a more substantive question about the nature of scholarship, and if it's really as flexible as that would imply.
Since it looks like I will be pondering the matter for a while, and possibly into more accepted scholarly formats, I've started to collect materials related to the question in de.licio.us. (If you see anything I've missed or think would be of interest for the project for:rudyleon me the links if that works for you)
Expect more posts for the near now about:
- librarianship as constantly partial attention
- blogs as scholarship
- the sense of having a wide-lens library view
- Is a focus on undergraduates enough of a focus?
- given where I am in my career and th potential for branching paths very soon ahead, do I really want a focus?
- What all of this has to do with the future of Rudy, of librarianship, and of scholarship

Latest Toy Sales Show Girls Just Want to Have Fun
After boy-geared movies helped fuel toy sales in recent years, girl power remains in vogue in 2013.
Mattel and Hasbro, two of the globe's largest toy makers, are benefiting from impressive demand for their girls toys while the boys' side of the business lags. Mattel's most recent sales report showed stronger sales for Barbie, American Girl, Disney Princesses and Monster High dolls, offsetting weaker sales of boys brands like Hot Wheels.
For Mattel, strength for girls' brands isn't exactly a surprise. The company has traditionally been known as a more girls-focused toy maker, with many of its dolls often ranking among the top-10 doll lists issued by industry trackers like NPD Group. But the sharply better performance for girls toys at Hasbro, which traditionally sells more boys toys, is more shocking.

hey guys, i have a new set of 1920 radius rods to go in my T and I was told that before i install them to measure the old set that is still installed and then match those measurements when adjusting the nuts on the end of the radius rods nearest the engine. I measured mine and there is an 1/8th difference! does this surprise anyone?? should i just make them equal?
I assume you're talking about the rear radius rods. The variation isn't surprising. More important than the length of individual rods is the squareness of the entire assembly.

The accusation is shocking and horrific if true. Layane Santos, 19, says she was 38 weeks pregnant when she was rushed to the hospital in December. She passed out at some point during what she says was a C-section, and her baby daughter, whom she'd already named Sofia, was gone before she ever saw her -- stolen right from her womb.
But doctors at Santa Casea de Maua, the Brazilian hospital where the woman was treated, say that's not the case. According to The Sun, they say Santos was never actually pregnant. Instead they say she was suffering from a "phantom pregnancy" or "psychological pregnancy."
Santos vehemently disagrees. She says she received prenatal care throughout her pregnancy, and nurses measured her baby and heard her heartbeat. A doctor, Uesley Lima, says she was involved in Santos' prenatal care and will be a witness, which definitely adds more questions.
More from The Stir: Mom Gives Birth to Identical Twins Twice on the Same Day (VIDEO)
Santos told The Sun, "I can't believe that a child who weighed 7lbs could just disappear in blood. I think they stole the baby, or the baby died while she was being delivered and they didn't want to tell us what happened."
It does sound bizarre, but phantom pregnancies do happen. According to Psychology Today, the condition known as pseudocyesis, occurs in 1 to 6 of every 22,000 pregnancies. Doctors say it often happens when a woman "obsesses over pregnancy out of desire or fear." They may have many of the symptoms of pregnancy; some even begin lactating.
It's such a strange story, and heartbreaking no matter which way it turns out. I suppose there's the possibility that she was pregnant and her baby was stolen. But if that's the case, it should be quite easy to prove via medical records, which the hospital says it can do though hasn't yet. My guess is that she was likely never really pregnant and it was as doctors say, really a psychological condition -- as hard as it may be for Santos to accept. Either way, however, I hope she gets the answers and help she needs.
What do you think of this story?

Fiat 124 Sport Spider
The 124 Sport Spider is a 2+2 convertible marketed by Fiat from 1966 to 1979 – having debuted at the November 1966 Turin Auto Show. Designed and manufactured by Italian carozzeria Pininfarina, Fiat continued to market the monocoque-bodied car as the 2000 Spider from 1979 to 1982. Pininfarina itself assumed the car's marketing from 1983 to the end of its production in 1985 – as the Pininfarina Spider Azzura.
The car was sold in Europe and the U.S. from its introduction until the 1975 model year when it was modified to comply with new U.S. regulations and no European version was produced. Sales in Europe resumed when Pininfarina took over production in 1983 under the name Pininfarina Europa Spider.
The Sports Spider and the Fiat 124 Coupé shared the numeric portions of their name with the 124 sedan along with much of their running gear – and, in the case of the Coupé, a shared platform. The Sports Spider utilized a shorter platform along with a shorter wheelbase, and in contrast to the Pinifarina styled and manufactured Spider, Fiat designed and manufactured the Coupé in-house.
The engine used in the Spider and Coupé was a double overhead cam, aluminum crossflow head version of the sedan's pushrod unit. It started in 1966 with a capacity of 1438 cc progressively increasing to 1608 cc in 1970 (although this reduced to 1592 cc in 1973), 1756 cc in 1974 and finally 1995 cc in 1979. Designed by Dan Vano. Bosch fuel injection replaced the previously used Weber carburetors midway through 1980. In 1981 and 1982, Fiat partnered with Legend Industries to create approximately 700 turbo models. There was also a supercharged model called Volumex offered toward the end of production, and sold only in Europe. This family of engines was designed by ex-Ferrari chief engineer Aurelio Lampredi and in one form or another remained in production into the 1990s giving it one of the longest production runs in history. The double overhead cam (DOHC) version was the first mass manufactured DOHC to utilize reinforced rubber timing belts, an innovation that would come into nearly universal use in the decades after its introduction. Its family powered race cars such as: FIAT 131 Mirafiori, Special T, Lancia Beta Montecarlo, Delta Integrale and many others.

A winner was selected from 43 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
A business card that looks and feels cool and communicates premium technology and service
I want a business card that makes anyone to whom I give one intrigued enough to learn more about who I am and what our company is all about. We manufacture premium grade, technically superior liquid nutrient lines used on some of the best golf courses and professional sports fields around the world. We developed technologies and proprietary formulations that allow us to grow and maintain premium grass playing surfaces in formidable conditions. We are experts in foliar feeding, i.e. feeding grass plants via the leaf vice the roots. This is vital when US Opens et al want grass to live and look good at .100 inch in 95 degree heat and the plant 'shuts down' and needs nutrition or it will die. Not good.
- Company logo (without "for the strongest turf" tagline but WITH "Rooted in Solutions" somewhere on card)
- Must have orange, green, white company colors
- Golf is our primary customer: it is a sport rich in history, elegance, and our customers are very technically oriented. I would like some of that to come through while blending with a little 'cutting edge' newness..... Coolnerdy- make sense?
- In our website we try to capture the 'science' feel because our products are designed very intricately to help augment 'mother nature'. Additonally, our product recommendation directly impact the livelihood and professional reputations of our customers- we take our science very seriously but we are known to have a good sense of humor (see "Vern Holiday" audio spoofs)
- I don't want my father's business card with just name, social security #, coffe stains.

Çengelköy is a neighbourhood of Üsküdar district on the Asian shore of Istanbul, Turkey found between Beylerbeyi and Vaniköy. It is a mainly residential district. There were many mansions built there in the Ottoman period. It is world famous for the small cucumbers once grown there, which are now grown in Kandıra.
Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.

Huaorani people

|Total population
|approx. 2,500 (various post-2001 est.)
|Regions with significant populations
|Waodani settlements: approx. 4,000, Nomadic "uncontacted" Tagaeri, Taromenane, Huiñatare, and Oñamenane: approx. 250,

The Huaorani, Waorani, or Waodani, also known as the Waos, are native Amerindians from the Amazonian Region of Ecuador (Napo, Orellana, and Pastaza Provinces) who have marked differences from other ethnic groups from Ecuador. The alternate name Auca is a pejorative exonym used by the neighboring Quechua natives, and commonly adopted by Spanish-speakers as well. Auca (awqa in Quechua) means "savage".
They comprise almost 4,000 inhabitants and speak the Huaorani language, a linguistic isolate that is not known to be related to any other language.
Their ancestral lands are located between the Curaray and Napo rivers, about 50 miles (80 km) south of El Coca. These homelands—approximately 120 miles (190 km) wide and 75 to 100 miles (120 to 160 km) from north to south – are threatened by oil exploration and illegal logging practices. In the past, Huaorani were able to protect their culture and lands from both indigenous enemies and settlers.
In the last 40 years, they have shifted from a hunting and gathering society to live mostly in permanent forest settlements. As many as five communities—the Tagaeri, the Huiñatare, the Oñamenane, and two groups of the Taromenane—have rejected all contact with the outside world and continue to move into more isolated areas.
This section does not cite any sources. (August 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The word Waodani (plural of Wao "person") means "humans" or "men" in Wao Tiriro. Before the mid 20th century, it included only those kin associated with the speaker. Others in the ethnic group were called Waodoni, while outsiders were and are known by the derogatory term Cowodi. This structure duplicates the in-group/out-group naming conventions used by many peoples. It reflects a period of traumatic conflict with outsiders during the 19th and early 20th century rubber boom / oil exploration.[citation needed]
The name Waodani (or the alternative English spelling Waorani) represents a transliteration by English-speaking missionary linguists. The phonetic equivalent used by Spanish-speakers is Huaorani (reflecting the absence of w in Spanish spelling). The sounds represented by the English and Spanish letters d, r and n are allophones in Wao Tededo.[citation needed]
Tribal subgroups[edit]
The Waodani are subdivided into the Toñampare, Quenahueno, Tihueno, Quihuaro, Damuintaro, Zapino, Tigüino, Huamuno, Dayuno, Quehueruno, Garzacocha (río Yasuní), Quemperi (río Cononaco) Mima, Caruhue (río Cononaco) and Tagaeri.[1][2]
In traditional animist Waodani worldview, there is no distinction between the physical and spiritual worlds, and spirits are present throughout the world. The Waodani once believed that the entire world was a forest (and used the same word, ömë, for both). The Oriente's rain forest remains the essential basis of their physical and cultural survival. For them, the forest is home, while the outside world is considered unsafe.[citation needed]
In short, as one Waodani put it, "The rivers and trees are our life."[3] In all its specificities, the forest is woven into each Waodani life and conceptions of the world. They have remarkably detailed knowledge of its geography and ecology.[citation needed]
The Waodani believe that all life exists spiritually and physically and do not observe a separation between these states of being. To the Waodani, as with many other cultures, the directions North, South, East and West are sacred. They believe that a person who dies walks a trail to the afterlife from the West to the East, which has a large anaconda snake lying in wait. Those who have not led a good life will not escape the snake and not be able to travel east, instead they will journey to the West and return to Earth to become animals, often termites. This underlies a mix of practices that recognize and respect animals, but does not shield them from harm for human use.[citation needed]
Hunting supplies a major part of the Waodani diet and is of cultural significance. Before a hunting or fishing party ensues, the community shaman will often pray for a day to ensure its success. Traditionally the creatures hunted were limited to monkeys, birds, and wild peccaries. Neither land-based predators nor birds of prey are hunted. Traditionally there was an extensive collection of hunting and eating taboos. They refused to eat deer, on the grounds that deer eyes look similar to human eyes. While a joyful activity, hunting (even permitted animals) has ethical ramifications: "The Guarani [Waodani] must kill animals to live, but they believed dead animal spirits live on and must be placated or else do harm in angry retribution."[4] To counterbalance the offense of hunting, a shaman demonstrated respect through the ritual preparation of the poison, curare, used in blow darts. Hunting with such darts is not considered killing, but retrieving, essentially a kind of harvesting from the trees.[5][page needed]
While never hunted, two other animals, the snake and the jaguar, have special significance for the Waodani. Snakes are considered "the most evil force in the Guarani [Waodani] cosmology",[6] particularly the imposing (though non-venomous) anaconda, or obe. A giant obe stands in the way of the forest trail that the dead follow to an afterlife with the creator in the sky. Here on earth, snakes are a bad omen, and killing them is traditionally considered to be taboo.[citation needed]
Their Shamans identify spiritually with Jaguars. A Waodani may become a shaman at any age but must be chosen. In the Waodani belief system, jaguar shamans are able "to become as or enact as a jaguar, at this time they can telepathically travel through time and distance to communicate with other Guarani [Waodani] and shaman anywhere." This skill has been documented throughout world history in many spiritual cultures and is taught through initiations often called the ancient mysteries in European, Asian and Middle eastern texts.[citation needed]
Plants, especially trees, continue to hold an important interest for the Waodani. Their store of botanical knowledge is extensive, ranging from knowledge of materials to poisons to hallucinogens to medicines. They also relate plants to their own experiences, particularly that of growing. Among trees, certain kinds are auspicious. Canopy trees, with their distinctly colored young leaves and striking transformation as they mature to towering giants, are "admired for their solitary character... as well as for their profuse entanglement" with other plants. Other significant trees are the pioneer species of the peach palm (used for making spears and blowguns, as well as for fruit), and fast-growing balsa wood, used for ceremonial purposes. Peach palm trees are associated with past settlements and the ancestors who live there.[7][page needed]
Shamanic ethnomedicine uses the ayahuasca beverage [8] and a newly identified mushroom (Dictyonema huaorani) with the analogous substance of Psilocybe genus[9][10]
As with many peoples, the Waos maintain a strong in-group/out-group distinction, between Waodani (people who are kin), Waodoni (others in their culture who are unrelated) and Cowodi. The use of Waodani as a term for their entire culture emerged in the last fifty years in a process of ethnogenesis. This was accelerated by the creation of ONHAE, a radio service, and a soccer league.[citation needed]
The Waodani notion of time is particularly oriented to the present, with few obligations extending backwards or forwards in time. Their one word for future times, baane, also means "tomorrow".[5][page needed]
Spears are amongst the hunting tools of the Waodani culture and therefore available in person to person conflict.[citation needed]
Their main hunting weapon is the blowgun. These weapons are typically from 3 to 4 metres long. The arrows used are dipped in curare poison, which paralyzes the muscles of the animal which is hit with it, so that it cannot breathe. Kapok fluff is used to create an air-tight seal, by twisting the fibers around the end of the dart or arrow. With the introduction of Western technology in the 20th century, many Waodani now use rifles for hunting.[citation needed]
Recent history[edit]
This section does not cite any sources. (August 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Around the time of World War II, inter-clan killings greatly increased. At this time, it was estimated that up to 60% of all Huaorani deaths were due to murder. Some of the Huaorani trace the beginning of the killing to the breakdown of clan relationships around ten generations prior to this time.[citation needed]
Prior to this period, large gatherings frequently brought distant clans together from time to time to celebrate and arrange marriages, among other activities. These were organized by informal tribal leaders (although the Huaorani had no chiefs or formal leadership in general).[citation needed]
Guarani schools were set up to teach the Bible and beliefs of Christianity by missionaries. New systems of government were also introduced.[citation needed]
As of 2012[update], the Huaorani have about 6,800 km2 (2,600 sq mi) of land, about one third of their original territory. Some work with tourism companies, and others obtain education until university level. Half of the small children are taught classes in Spanish, but others still spend their days living off of the land.[citation needed]
Land rights[edit]
This section does not cite any sources. (August 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In 1990, the Waorani won the rights to the Waorani Ethnic Reserve 6,125.60 km2 (2,365.11 sq mi). The protected status of Yasuní National Park, which overlaps with the Waorani reserve, provides some measure of environmental protection. Additionally, the government has created a protected zone inside of Yasuni, to avoid contact with the Tagaeri and Taromenane. However, much of their land is illegally logged as corporations[who?] extract natural resources, forcing them onto smaller and smaller parcels.[citation needed]

(Heritage Auctions)
Before rings became the standard reward, teams gave out other symbols of victory to their players. This stunning example, which was sold at auction in 2006 for $9,560.00, is a Hamilton watch given to members of the Packers' first World Championship team following the 1929 season.
(Heritage Auctions)
Signed out of Beloit College by Curly Lambeau, Bernard "Boob" Darling was an integral member of not only this championship team but the Packers' first three.
The contributions of the the 6'3", 215-pound Darling (seen here wearing the Packers' 1927-28 jersey) anchored the Packer offensive line and helped propel the club to greatness. With Darling at center, the Packers won three championships in a row, a feat only once equaled (by Lombardi's last three Packer squads) but never surpassed. Darling's career was brief, ending after the 1931 season. He went out a champion.
Darling remained active in the Packers organization long after his retirement, first becoming a member of the team's Board of Directors and later being elevated to the Executive Committee. It was during his tenure on the Committee that the Packers hired Vince Lombardi, setting the stage for one of the greatest dynasties in professional sports. He was elected to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1970.
Mike Michalske's pocket watch from 1929 is on display at the Packers Hall of Fame at Lambeau Field.

How does anyone cap that B.S. that just happened?????
If you followed the griz at all lately this isnt a big shock,to me anyway,they have been doing this down their winning stretch to end reg season. I like clippers plus pts,but took over instead. Go look at the griz last 10 games,they win but dont cover.I had magic last game of the year at +15.Sure enough griz were up 20+ and failed to cover. There's something just not right with that team.
I also had over ATL, which lost and will bet every under in that series now that i saw game 1.
Play the over,lol
I wonder if mrscrubspicks knows since he has the tiebreaker over boomer56 if he doesn't pick today he'll win the monthly contest?
If he's not aware Boomer56 should wait and see who he picks and take the other team .

Delta Air Lines and GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes SA announced four daily non-stop codeshare flights connecting Miami and Orlando with Fortaleza and Brasilia.
"This is the most significant expansion we have done with GOL since last year, when we announced international codeshare in South America, and it is the next step as we grow our alliance partnership," said Luciano Macagno, Delta's Managing Director - Latin America and the Caribbean. "Codesharing on these flights shows our commitment to Brazil and to Florida and our desire to offer our customers more access between Northern Brazil and the U.S."
Customers traveling to Orlando from Brasilia and Fortaleza will be able to connect to six of Delta's domestic hubs as well as several focus cities, providing access from coast to coast with flights to Los Angeles and New York as well as to Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Salt Lake City and to Delta's headquarters city, Atlanta.
"We are excited to connect our capital and Fortaleza to the U.S. with Delta as our partner," said Celso Ferrer—GOL's Vice President- Planning. "This network expansion enhances a successful alliance focused on providing our customers improved services, more options and the best experience in every step of their journey."
The Brasilia and Fortaleza hubs provide connectivity to 12 destinations in the interior of Brazil, including Belem (BEL), Belo Horizonte (CNF), Recife (REC), Natal (NAT), Manaus (MAO), Salvador (SSA), Maceió (MCZ), São Luís (SLZ), Cuiaba (CGB), Palmas (PMW), Teresina (THE), and Porto Velho (PVH).

The route will be serviced with GOL's Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. These aircraft feature 186 seats andGOL+Confortospaces, which have up to 34-inch pitch and up to 50 percent greater seatback recline than a standard economy seat, as well as GOL Premium class on all international flights.
In addition to the codeshare expansion to Brazil, the airlines announced last year their international codeshare in South America, where GOL began offering codeshare flights between Santiago, Chile, to other destinations served through the partnership with Delta, providing customers from both airlines with increased travel options to and from the United States and South America.

Found this dog on November 20th at 4pm, around Dover and Edenhurst. She is very sweet and not shy at all. I am sure someone is missing her. She was well groomed and fed. Please contact me ASAP if this is your dog, firstname.lastname@example.com. We leave town for the long weekend and will be back on Monday. I do NOT want to take her to the pound, but if I don't get a call by the time we leave I will take her to the Pasadena Humane Society on Raymond.

Westwood, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara (21-26, 4-11) couldn't hold a one run lead with its top closer on the mound in the ninth inning on Tuesday night. UCLA (23-26) fought back with two runs in its last at bat to win the game, 8-7. Brett McMillan doubled down the right field line with one out to score two runners and give the Bruins the win.
Steve Morlock (3-5) took the loss after surrendering the fateful runs. Morlock walked the first two batters of the inning to put the winning runs on base. After striking out the next batter, McMillan delivered the clutch hit. Morlock, a freshman right hander, was attempting to earn his team-leading ninth save.
Santa Barbara struck first, scoring one run in the top of the third inning. With two outs, Josh Fulton and Brian Adams singled. Nate Sutton continued the trend, placing a single in center field, bringing Fulton in to score.
It took the Bruins exactly one batter to tie the score back up. McMillan led off the bottom of the inning with a home run to right field, making the score 1-1. McMillan, the designated hitter, finished the day 2-for-4 with a run scored and three RBI.
Chad Ziemendorf once again blasted a ball out of the park, the fourth straight game in which he has done so. The Gaucho backstop now has six homers this season, the team leader in that category. Ziemendorf's shot gave UCSB a 4-1 lead in the top of the fourth.
UCLA once again responded with a home run. Brandon Averill launched his seventh of the season with a two-run bomb off of Gaucho starter Eric Posthumus in the bottom of the fourth to cut the defecit to one.
The Bruins weren't done, as they teed off on Posthumus for two more blasts in the fifth inning. Wes Whisler brought in two and gave UCLA the lead with his shot to left center. With two outs, Christian Lewis hit his first round-tripper of the season, making the score 6-4 and chasing Posthumus from the game.
Santa Barbara showed some power in the seventh inning. Chris Malec led off the inning with his second homer of the season, bringing the Gauchos within one. A walk to Ziemendorf and a succesful sacrifice bunt by Fulton set Sutton up with his second RBI single of the evening to tie the score. Nic Rodriguez followed with a single up the middle. Second baseman Preston Griffin booted the ball, allowing Sutton to score after advancing to third on the single, giving UCSB the lead.
Bryan Beck (3-5) picked up the win with 2.1 innings of relief. He dominated the Gaucho hitters, not allowing a single base runner while striking out four.
Jared Edrosolan was effective in relief for the Gauchos. Edrosolan pitched 3.1 innings of shut-down relief and was in line for the victory, which would have been his first on the year. The right hander allowed only one base hit and kept the Bruins off the board, allowing UCSB to climb back into the lead.
Malec and Sutton had two hits for Santa Barbara. Malec and Ziemendorf scored twice.
Fulton saved a potential run in the bottom of the second inning. With two on and two out, the Gaucho shortstop dove and snagged a one-hopper in the hole. He recovered just in time to fire and force out the Bruin runner at second and end the inning.
UC Santa Barbara returns home this Friday to host the Pacific Tigers for a three game Big West Conference matchup. Game one is slated for 2:00 pm. Saturday and Sunday's games are at 1:00 pm at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium. Matt Vasquez (3-4, 5.24 ERA), Michael Martin (2-2, 6.93) and Sean Thompson (5-6, 5.32) make up the scheduled weekend rotation.

There were no changes in the structure of our chapter in 2011.
Current chapter members:
Ahmad Hassan: Chapter Lead
Majid Al Ali: Intelligence Analyst
There are other 5 members, but not as active so they haven't been officially listed. We are looking into having members from the faculty and research studetns.
Current Deployments focus on collecting malware meta data using Nepenthes. We are working replacing it with dionaea.
We developed a system called HoneyPharm, which is based on the open source implementation of Nepenthes Pharm, to ease the distribution nepenthes and data collection. We are working on making it compitable with dionaea. We start started looking into wireless honeypots but it didn't seem feasible for the time being.
From research perspective, we are looking into security threats and vulnerabilities of smart phones, to aid raising awareness on this subject.
Since we only have nepenthes, we didn't catch any unique samples after 2009. Our beta deployment of dionaea captured a recently identified malware, which is a good indication of our direction.
We wrote an IEEE paper titled "Collecting malware from distributed honeypots — Honeypharm" in 2010, and presented it at the IEEE GCC conference in Dubai in 2011. We started preparing a KYT paper and publish, but decided to put it on hold since we are changing the code this year. We will resume once the changes are done.
Our goal is the gather intelligence through deploying differt types of honeypots. We stepped recently into the development of aiding tools.
We recently got the chapter website up: http://www.uaehoneynet.ae/. It will be updated from time to time.
We touched base with one of the universities in the UAE in order advise on several security and honeynet-related projects in order to develop security tools that are not yet developed.

The Inclusive Team Tests are a collection of tests which can be used to roughly determine how inclusive a team is of a particular group. The level of inclusiveness (or disadvantagement) that a particular group might experience within a certain working environment can be expressed as a score on the test.
