The Toyota Motor Company was founded in 1937 by Kiichiro Toyoda. It was created as a spinoff from Toyota Industries, Toyoda's father's company. In 1934, before even becoming its own company and while still a division of Toyota Industries, the Toyota Motor Company produced its first product, an automobile engine. Its first 2-seat vehicle was produced in 1936 and called the Toyota A1. Originally, the vehicle was marketed as the Toyoda A1, as were other vehicles because it was the family name.
Toyota Through The Years
The name was changed to Toyota in 1937 for several reasons, including the fact that Toyoda means "fertile rice paddies" in Japanese. When the new company was registered, the newly formed word Toyota was trademarked at the same time. From September of 1947, Toyota vehicles were sold using the name Toyopet. When Toyota entered the market in America in 1957, this name was not well received due to linkages with toys and pets. The name was dropped for this market, but was continued to be used into the mid-1960s in all other markets.
The Toyota Motor Corporation was formed in 1982 when the Toyota Motor Company merged with Toyota Motor Sales. In response to taxes and tariffs imposed by the American government in the early 1980s, Toyota, as well as other Japanese car manufacturers, began to build manufacturing plants in the U.S. In 1984, Toyota also entered into the New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. joint venture with General Motors. Under this venture they operated a factory in California, which had been an old GM factory. At the end of the 1980s, Toyota launched its luxury brand, Lexus and introduced a new logo for Toyota, which is used today.
The Toyota Motor Corporation owns Toyota and Lexus, as well as Scion, Daihatsu and Hino Motors. Additionally, the Toyota Motor Corporation is involved in several non-automotive companies. It's also a part of the Toyota Group, which is one of the largest conglomerates in the world.
Toyota in America
The headquarters for Toyota North America are located in Torrance, Calif. with its manufacturing headquarters located in Hebron, Ky. There are also six major assembly plants across the U.S. The joint venture with GM ended in 2009, but Toyota is part of another joint venture with Subaru, which started in 2006 in Lafayette, Ind. Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. is a subsidiary of the Toyota Motor Corporation and takes care of all sales, marketing and distribution of Toyota vehicles in the U.S.
The oil crisis in the early 1970s helped Toyota take off in the American market. Prior to this, American car manufacturers had seen small vehicles as entry-level products only and, as such, had kept prices low by providing low quality. Toyota's small vehicles had higher quality than those offered by their American competitors. As they grew globally and especially in the North American market, Toyota began to offer more and larger vehicles, which included a full-sized pickup, SUVs and the Lexus luxury brand.
In addition to expanding their line of vehicles in the 1990s, Toyota created the Scion brand. This brand was developed for the North American market only. It consists of sporty but affordable vehicles meant to be marketed to younger drivers in the U.S., with Canada to follow later. It also began production of its first hybrid car, the Prius in 1997.
Toyota Models
There are at least 70 different models of vehicles sold by Toyota. Toyota makes vehicles in all classes including coupes, sedans, trucks, vans, crossover vehicles and hybrids. Its smallest car is the Yaris, and its largest is the Avalon. It sedans are the Corolla and Camry. The crossover vehicles are the Matrix, RAV4, Venza and Highlander. SUVs include the FJ Cruiser, 4Runner, Sequoia and Land Cruiser. The Tacoma and the Tundra are the compact and full-sized pickup trucks manufactured by Toyota, and the Sienna is the only van available from Toyota. The Camry and Highlander can be purchased as hybrids, as well as the Prius.
Toyota Products and Technologies
Not only is Toyota one of the largest companies to invest in hybrid technology and push hybrid vehicles into the market, it was the very first to mass produce and sell these vehicles in the mainstream market. Initially, only the Prius was offered as a hybrid, but over time, as the technology became more popular, more models came with that option. The goal is to have its entire line available with hybrid technology by 2030.
The first generation of Prius cars, which were compact sedans, went on sale in 1997 in Japan. By 2001, it was available in many other countries, including the U.S. The second generation of the Prius was completely revamped in 2004 as a midsize 5-door liftback. The current generation of the Prius, which has a much more aerodynamic shape, was introduced in 2010. Toyota has also produced a plug-in Prius that will include a lithium-ion battery to give the vehicle an all-electric range.

Hotele w Haugesund
Get away from it all with a relaxing break in stunning Haugesund! Close to the Viking town of Avaldsne and just 4 km from Haugesund, the elegant Radisson Blu Hotel makes a wonderful base for exploring the surrounding countryside with its majestic mountains, picturesque fjords and wide, sandy beaches. Frequent city buses operate outside the hotel, which offers magnificent views of the sea.
Haugesund offers a wealth of festivals and cultural events throughout the year. The largest and best-known festivals are Sildajazz and the Norwegian Film Festival, where the Amanda prize is awarded. Hotels, cafés, restaurants and pubs line Indre Kai (Inner Quay). Here you can take a stroll and breathe in the fresh sea air, or stop for a cup of coffee or a tasty meal. The island of Røvær has settlements from the Stone Age and is a popular tourist destination. The trip takes only 25 minutes by ferry from Indre Kai. Vibrandsøy, a local outdoor area, is just a stone's throw from Indre Kai and the ferry to Røvær will stop here upon request.
Not far from Haugesund you can drive to Karmøy, Norway's most densely populated island. Karmøy has many surprises in store, as well as exciting, historical places to visit. To the south you will find Skudeneshavn, a vibrant and genuine fishing village from the 1800s. Here you can see the Empire style and experience the charming cultural landscape. To the north lies Visnes, an old and quaint mining town of major historical and international importance. Avaldsnes is thought to be Norway's oldest royal residence. This was the manor owned by Harald Hårfagre's after the battle of Hafrsfjord. Avaldsnes was strategically placed by the long stretch of water, which led to the name of our country - the way towards the north - "the Northway". Olav's church, which founded in 1250 by Håkon Håkonson, is the most important monument from past glories at Karmøy. Real coastal culture, fresh seaspray, sheltered bays, striking landscapes and exciting history is what Karmøy is today.
The Radisson Blu Hotel Haugesund can be found between Haugesund and Karmøy. It is set in the middle of a beautiful garden, not far from central Haugesund and Karmøy airport.
Amanda Storsenter is approx. 4 km south-east of Haugesund city centre and with its more than 70 shops, is the region's largest shopping mall and market leader. Getting there is easy and with 1600 free parking spaces and excellent bus links, there's no excuse not to go! It's the perfect place to shop, especially in bad weather when you don't want to get wet. One of the shops in Haugesund with an interesting history is Bruvik Time. When he was just 15 years old, designer Rune Bruvik was on a family holiday in Geneva. He was given his first Swiss wrist watch and a passion for clocks was born. He dreamt of designing his own clocks and 18 years later his dream became a reality. Bruvik Time was founded in 2009 and now produces quality watches that combine Norwegian nature with clocks.
At Karmøy, you will also find Åkra Seafood. The company is one of the country's leading suppliers of crab products and its offerings are of the highest quality. The fish shop sells almost everything to do with crabs, from filled crab shells and whole cooked crabs to crab meat from different parts of the crab, liver mass and roe. The fish shop also has its own kitchen so you can also sample some of the delicious hot food they serve.
Like so many other places in Norway, Haugesund favours locally sourced food and ingredients. Karmøy Laks with its salmon products and Lundal, which produces cured meats, sausages, bacon and lamb ribs using old traditions and recipes from the area around Åkrafjorden are good examples of this. In Haugesund and the surrounding area, you can buy plenty of excellent and exciting food.
Haugesund Town Hall was a gift from shipowner Knut Knutsen OAS and his wife Elisabeth. The building was designed by architects Gudolf Blakstad and Hermann Munthe-Kaas and was opened in 1931. The Town Hall Square was inaugurated in 1949. The Town Hall is one of the country's best-known buildings and is richly and artistically decorated. It, together with its surrounding area, is historically listed. In "Norway's art history", Leif Østby talks of the Town Hall as part of the classic trend among architects of the 1920s: One of the trend's most significant works is Haugesund Town Hall with its stately and striking corner lot adorned with double pillars." In September 2010, in a survey conducted among the Municipal Reports' readership, Haugesund Town Hall was voted the finest in the country . During the summer season, there are guided tours of the town hall.
The national monument Haraldshaugen was erected in 1872 at the millennium party commemorating Harald Hårfagre's unification of Norway. In the 19th Century it was believed that the burial mound described by Snorre as Harald Hårfagre's grave and national monument had been found here at Gard, 2 km north of Haugesund city centre. The monument was designed by Christian Christie, as a large burial mound surrounded by a granite wall with 29 monoliths, one from each of the old Norwegian counties. At the top of the mound stands a 17 m high granite obelisk, with four bronze panels around its base. Each of the panels reflects important scenes from Harald Hårfagre's life and times.
At Norheim, just north of Avaldsnes, five tall monoliths stand in a star-shaped stone setting. Inside the stone setting was a grave from former Roman times (circa 350 AD). BC). Tradition speaks of the star-shaped stone setting as being part of a religious/magical calendar system. The triangular shape is supposed to be a symbol of the female, while the monoliths represent a phallic symbol. The stone setting is called "The five foolish virgins". Here is the story why: Saint Olav often travelled the country bringing the Christian message to his people. One day, coming from the north, he had to go to the royal court at Avaldsnes. When he arrived at the narrowest point of Karmsundet, he saw five girls on the mainland side, waving at him. But the king did not give in to temptation. Instead he shouted loudly. "Stand there like stones till I return." The virgins immediately turned to stone. They are still standing there today, looking over Karmsundet towards St. Olav's Church on Avaldsnes.
Radisson Blu Hotel Haugesund will prepare you for the day's activities with its Super Breakfast Buffet. Here you will find a great choice of fruit, hot food, coffee and tea and all you could wish for first thing in the morning. The hotel's own restaurant also serves excellent food, should you prefer a locally-sourced dinner. Here you can enjoy international dishes and local favourites while looking over the beautiful garden.
Lothes Mat & Vinhus is perhaps the city's most central location by Smedasundet, as well as the city's best kitchen. The house the restaurant is located in dates back to 1850. When the house was restored, efforts were made to retain the original style both indoors and out. The result is a house with an authentic atmosphere, filled with charm, great food and drinks - and its very own ghost. In this house Lothes Mat & Vinhus has enjoyed successful gastronomic repute since 1989. They use premium, local ingredients from the "sea out west" (fish and shellfish) and meat from local suppliers.
In the middle of the quay in Haugesund is the restaurant and bar NB Sørensens Dampskibsexpedition. The interior design oozes trade and maritime business - walls and ceilings are covered in historical artefacts. This is a typically informal and social meeting place. The international menus have something to suit most occasions, whether coffee, lunch, snacks, à la carte or party menus.
In the NB Bar you can enjoy a glass of something delicious - there's a great selection of both meals and drinks. The large covered, heated outdoor area with blankets is open all year round.

Avalanche's Duchene brightens bullied girl's dayby Brian Hunter
Colorado Avalanche center Matt Duchene just wanted to find a way to contribute to the flood relief efforts in his hometown of Haliburton, Ontario.
In doing so, he also brightened the life of a young girl struggling with the psychological damage of bullying.
Media reports surfaced in August about how Duchene assisted a father in his community, Wayde Greer, in successfully bidding on an autographed Boston Bruins jersey for his daughter Trista's 11th birthday.
During the Player Media Tour at the NHL offices in Manhattan on Thursday, Duchene revealed to NHL.com how the heartwarming moment played out.
"There was a big flood in my hometown recently and myself and [Buffalo Sabres center] Cody Hodgson put on a golf tournament to support the flood relief," Duchene said. "My dad [Vince] pretty much, he had a lot of great help from people, but he did a lot of the heavy lifting with it and we ended up raising $120,000. Most golf tournaments do 30 in my hometown."
Greer, also from Haliburton and according to Duchene instrumental in promoting its rich hockey background, showed up at the tournament having collected $500 he planned on using to bid on the jersey for Trista, a huge Bruins fan whose generally sunny demeanor had been battered by bullying at school.
When bidding on the jersey commenced, it quickly became clear to Greer that the eventual price would far exceed what he could afford. But he had an ally in the room.
"I wanted to donate some of my own money to the flood relief, but I didn't want it to be public," Duchene said. "I didn't want to get up there and be like, 'OK, I'm donating this,' I didn't want that to happen. I wanted it very under the radar, didn't want to embarrass anybody or be a hero or anything like that.
"I heard Wayde was at our table, he started talking about the jersey and how bad he wanted it for his daughter, and I leaned over to my mom [Chris] and said, 'I'm going to make sure he gets it.'
"So he started bidding, and it was an expensive jersey. He had some money collected from family members and it went over that budget, so I just told him to keep going. He was going against a political figure in our community and I told him to keep going, keep going, and then finally we got it."
The jersey ended up selling for $2,000 and Greer was able to give it to his thrilled daughter along with a card that read, "Happy birthday Trista, from your friend Matt Duchene."
"It's a story about giving light back to a child and restoring her faith in herself," Greer wrote in a letter published in the Minden Times on Aug. 7.
Duchene was just happy to be able to play a role.
"It was great. I got to help out him and his daughter, who has obviously gone through some tough times with bullies at school, and I knew about that, and I got to support the flood relief," he said.

Caffeine is the most widely used stimulant in the world and is present in a variety of products including beverages such as coffee, tea, colas, energy drinks, food products containing chocolate, some energy bars, and over-the-counter medications sold to increase alertness. Dietary supplements may contain herbal sources of caffeine such as guarana, kola nut, Yerba mate, green or black tea, and cacao pods used to make chocolate products. A cup (eight ounces) of coffee contains approximately 100 mg of caffeine, while colas contain about half of that amount. Following consumption, caffeine concentrations peak after about one hour, although this can be shortened if caffeine is ingested by chewing gum, since it will be absorbed in the mouth.1 Caffeine can affect multiple biological processes but most notable are its effects on alertness, vigilance, and physical performance. Caffeine blocks receptors in areas of the brain that control arousal and motivation.
Dose Range and Upper Limit
Food and Nutrition Board DRI:
RDA/AI: Not relevant.
Upper Limit: Not relevant.
Doses Used In Randomized Clinical Trials: Multiple 200 mg doses during the late evening, overnight, and early morning periods totaling 800 mg per day have been administered during trials involving three days of sleep loss.2 Typical single acute doses to improve cognitive function approximate 200 mg,3 whereas two to six mg/kg body weight doses are used to enhance physical performance.4,5
Toxicology Data: The acute lethal dose in adult humans has been estimated to be 10 grams6; however there has been at least one report of death following intake of lesser amounts (i.e., 6.5 g) of caffeine.7
Benefits and Risks
Evaluation of Potential Benefits
Moderate daily consumption of 400 mg has been deemed safe for healthy adults and non-pregnant/non-lactating women.8 Caffeine in moderate doses up to 200 mg has improved cognitive performance in rested, sleep-deprived, and fatigued individuals.3 Doses from two to six mg/kg of body weight are associated with improved physical performance5,7; a smaller dose typically will exert a longer-lasting and larger effect for individuals who do not normally consume caffeine.9 Smaller doses can also exert a positive effect on physical performance when consumed during exercise10 and/or for re-dosing prior to a subsequent physical challenge.11 Also, caffeine may help maintain a positive subjective experience and lower perceived exertion during extended exercise.12
Potential Detrimental Effects on…
Military Performance: Higher doses of caffeine may induce mild tremor that could negatively impact marksmanship. Caffeine consumption has a mild increased diuretic effect but no long-term impact on hydration or work performance in the heat.13,14 A large caffeine dose of nine mg/kg given to non-heat-acclimated and non-habitual caffeine users during exercise in a hot, dry environment resulted in only minor shifts in heat balance.15
Doses of caffeine over 600 mg/day can cause significant side effects including tachycardia, tremors, insomnia, nervousness, GI upset, chest pain, and arrhythmias.7
Higher doses may also produce gastrointestinal distress. However, no negative effects have been reported in sleep-deprived and fatigued individuals following moderate caffeine consumption; rather, improved speed of target acquisition has been noted.16,17
Military Survivability: No data found.
Other Health Risks
High caffeine intake is not recommended during pregnancy or periods of lactation, and it may interfere with calcium absorption. Caffeine can also increase resting heart rates and blood pressure, which might impact long-term cardiovascular health.
Interactions with Medications or Other Bioactive Substances
Some studies have found that combining caffeine with alcohol can have detrimental effects on mood and cognitive performance and also can diminish the subjective signs of alcohol intoxication.18-20 The FDA has issued a warning that the caffeine added to malt alcoholic beverages was an "unsafe food additive."21 Several states have banned the sale of energy drinks.
Caffeine is often found in energy drinks containing other products such as taurine (see monograph on energy drinks in this series) and in some multi-ingredient weight-loss supplements. Caution is advised since the impact of these other ingredients on the effects of caffeine has not been systematically studied.
Withdrawal Effects
Headache, irritability, and mood swings can accompany sudden withdrawal from regular caffeine use in about half of the population. These effects usually subside in a couple of days and may be alleviated if caffeine use is reduced gradually rather than abruptly.3
Concern and Benefit Estimate (see Dietary Supplement Risk Matrix)
Benefit potential: Moderate
Safety concern: Low
Numeric score: 4
Moderate daily consumption of up to 400 mg of caffeine has been deemed safe for healthy adults and non-pregnant/non-lactating women.8 Caffeine in moderate doses up to 300 mg can improve cognitive performance in rested, sleep-deprived, and fatigued individuals.3 As caffeine is present in a variety of foods and supplements, military personnel may want to monitor their daily intakes.

Shelby County Commissioners could not find enough votes in committee sessions Wednesday, July 17, for a county property tax rate that had any chance of passing before the full commission next week.
In the committee session Wednesday, 12 of the 13 commissioners were present.
But a proposed $4.32 tax rate from Commissioner Terry Roland only got two votes. Roland proposed the certified tax rate without a 6-cent tax hike proposed by Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell.
The certified tax rate sets the tax rate at the amount it is estimated will produce the same amount of revenue for county government as the current tax rate taking into account the property value lost in the 2013 property reappraisal.
Roland had previously favored keeping the tax rate at $4.02. But he said Wednesday his proposal was an acknowledgement that his position probably didn't have seven votes. Commission chairman Mike Ritz indicated he was ready to support Roland's plan because he didn't believe the $4.38 rate had seven votes either.
When only Roland and commissioner Steve Basar voted for the $4.32 tax rate, Roland said he would vote against other plans as a vote "against the process."
"Forgive me for trying to work with you and compromise," he said. "I see it's either all or none."
Luttrell urged the commission to move ahead with the $4.38 tax rate he proposed that the commission voted down on third and final reading earlier this month. But that only got four votes in committee.
The $4.38 proposal goes to the full commission Monday with a negative recommendation from the budget committee.
Meanwhile, Luttrell told commissioners that County Attorney Kelly Rayne has advised him no matter what tax rate is set, the county cannot change the amount of funding for the consolidated school system in the already approved county budget for the fiscal year that began July 1.
The county provides $20 million in new funding for the merged school district in the budget plan.
The budget with the schools funding was not only approved by the County Commission, the level of schools funding was also accepted by the countywide school board, making the action final, according to Rayne.

I'm feeling rebellious. Feeling all eye-rolly and pouty and "whatEVER"-y. The more I hear and read about how much I should be doing to draw people to me and to my "product" (that's my books, y'all, but also it's my blog, my You-Tube page, my FB/twitter—my online presence), the more I back away with my hands held out, "Whoa, just whoa now . . . ."
Remember this post "Doing the F*ck what I want; I"m taking back my life" ? Yeah. I'm still feeling that, majorly.
I've been off-line a whole lot more than I have in years. It feels rather wonderful! In the mornings, I rise and instead of pushing my face in a screen, I grab my coffee, sit in my comfy rocker, and stare out at the smoky mountain view: the mountains, ridgetops, the critters. I see/feel/hear/touch/experience. And guess what? My coffee tastes better—no! Really! I thought I was just preparing better coffee, but I've come to know it's that I'm actually TASTING the sumbitch instead of slogging it down my throat as I scan the 'puter. And I took that unplugging further to other points in my day. I'm feeling human again, less cyborgish—haw!
It's becoming about self-preservation of my sanity, y'all. Yeah. When I am online, I am inundated with people telling me how I'm doing things all wrong, and how I'm missing opportunities, and how I could be a fucking millionaire if I'd just listen to their advice and stop whining about how I don't want to listen to their advice—how if I weren't so hard-headed and resistant and a negative-nelly, then I'd be not only more beautiful and younger and AWESOMER, but I'd also be selling a whole lot more books and people would flock instead of trickle to my blog and facebook page and twitter. I'd be one popular bitch! But since I'm not doing the things they tell me to do, I will be forever medium, maybe even less than medium, I'll be low, just a simmer on the hotplate of life.
And I'm watching writers, and others, as they try to catch up and catch on, as they jump through hoops, as they constantly try to let everyone know their product is available so please please buy it or like it or try it for free. And the more I see it, the more I don't wanna.
All that advice and hollering and people waving their hands in the air like that Horshack dude on "Welcome Back, Kotter," yelling Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! makes me feel crazy and discombobulated and confused, and worst of all, Less Than. Yeah, folkses, it's having the opposite affect/effect than maybe intended—instead of feeling inspired, I am becoming Rebellious. I am turning away from all that advice. Just as I said in that earlier blog post, I am still, and further, Taking Back My Fucking Life.
For all you who know how to market yourself, who enjoy that, who can navigate through all the White Noise Din and find the advice that fits you perfectly and can apply that advice and then become really Kick-Ass, then well dang, You Go! I'll be eating your dust and feeling those envy twinges. For all you who give advice, and I've been known to do it—we all do it—I know many of you, like me, do it from a place of goodness and an urge to share what you know and pass it forward, well, then go ye to advice-giving and don't look back. But for all but a few I've come to admire and adore, I just can't take in anymore of it; I'm full; I'm filled to the brim; I'm over-flowing; I'm a Mt. Vesuvius of information and advice exploding out in a fury of fire and rock. I'm kind of done, at least for this moment, this time in my life.
I no longer want to feel as if I am not good enough, to feel less than, to be told I am missing all these opportunities and thus stupid for it; I just don't want other people to define who and what I am any longer. I just ain't good at all that stuff and that's that. Pretty danged simple: I ain't good at it; it makes me crazy. Nothing anyone says has made any difference, and believe me, I've read and tried to apply and instead my head spun around and then exploded.
Here is what I have to offer you all, and it's pretty danged simple: I write good books—they're not for everyone, but they are for many. I write them the best I can—I give my ALL when I write; I do it with love and passion and sincerity and care. I do the best I can with my words and language and then they are put out to the world and I hope for the best. I can't beg you to buy my books, to like me. I don't want to scream and shout and raise my hand in the air as I try to attract your attention. I would love to be discovered by you, and then for you to love me and my books.
I'd love to have your respect, most of all.
I want to be Me. Who I am. Imperfect but still Kick Ass. I don't want to make myself into some Product that I have to sell to all of you. I just want to do what I love and live my life. I want to see people as People, interesting people who I want to interact with in Real Life and Online, not as walking wallets who should buy my books, or as potential numbers on my stats. I want to enjoy you all, and I want you to enjoy me.
When constantly scrabbling about seeking approval or friendship or readers or "numbers," I am devaluing myself but I am also devaluing YOU; I feel cheapened and I cheapen YOU—does this attitude apply to everyone out there who promotes/gives advice/etc? Hells to the No, I am only speaking of how I feel about my life and what works or doesn't work for me. Everyone must find his/her own Kick Ass Life.
Letting Go of some things feels a little worrisome at first, but the more I Let Go, the better I feel. The more I ignore what so many people are telling me I "Should Do," and instead do what the fuck I want to do, the better I feel; the more I feel comfortable with myself instead of feeling that kind of "ick" feeling of constant self-promotion, the more my life takes on a richer more colorful hue.
Does this mean we never talk about good news, or our books/whatever? Well, that's silly; course not! But when I do have something wonderful to share, well, I can share it and feel proud of it or happy about it and then go on with my life. Like when calling/emailing/texting a friend and saying, "Guess what happened!" and sharing it, versus constantly calling/texing/emailing that friend until she/he is sick of my ass.
Maybe all this will mean my books will forever be stuck in some limbo of "okayness" when it comes to sales and rankings and I'll never be more than than medium. It'll probably mean my blog and other social networking sites will always be in some middling piddling land. Maybe it'll mean people will shake their heads at my stupidity and think how I am missing so many opportunities.
But hot damn! I'll be happier! Oh yeah. Much much happier—with my life, myself, and all the world around me–cause the dirty little secret is that if you do sell a shit load of books or whatever your product is, if you do call to you lots and lots of people, if you do make some kind of Successful Goal, it never ends, you will want or need more or it doesn't last and you try to grab it back as it fades back some, it's forever a hard-ass ride to the top.
When I let go, I feel more substantial.
I feel free.
That's me. Yeah.

Culminating two years of work by a group of local artists, the 1st Street Emporium is an incorporation of the Art Mall and Lynn Horner's Treasured Stories into an art co-op with the help of the Small Business Development Center at Otero Junior College.
Little did Lynn Horner suspect, when he opened his Treasured Stories venture, that he would be the beginning of a growing community of homegrown artists who would emerge as the First Street Emporium with the help of Bill Dutro's Small Business Development Center at Otero Junior College. Artists involved come from towns along the Arkansas River from Fowler to Las Animas and also Cheraw.
Horner had been collecting books for years and was outgrowing his space to store them, along with the antique furniture, dishes and other objects he loved. He opened a book and antiques store at 112 W. First Street. Before he had been open very long, Sherry Manyik and some other local artists discovered there was a side room with access through Horner's store in the building, which is owned by Mike Fazio.
They proposed to fix up the area and Fazio and Horner went along with them. Manyik said that the only things Fazio asked of them was to replace the back door to the alley with a good metal door and secure the upstairs from moisture. He gave them the space rent-free for the summer.
They were delighted to discover the roof was all right. The artists, then known as Artistic Expressions, made the windows water tight and replaced the door. They started renting out booth spaces to various artists, not just the members of their club. An art mall was born. "Nobody wanted to quit," said Manyik, "so we went on until Christmas rent-free. After that, we started paying rent."
"It was just supposed to be a fun summertime project," Manyik continued, "but now it has gone three summers and two winters."
Horner needed to travel more to replenish his stock and decided to keep just a part of his space, letting the artists take over the big room as well as the side room. So, with the help of the SBDC, the project has expanded. They are planning a grand opening on Nov. 1, but in the meantime they are open for business. The hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Effectively, it is now an art co-op, since anyone who has a booth is obligated to sit with the store for certain hours.
An all day make and take workshop is planned for the opening, said Marianne Hale, and she has a designated classroom area in the back, complete with the old work table and chairs which she used at the CBR Youth Connect. This class space will be available for any artist to use for a workshop.
The artists exhibiting at the First Street Emporium, so far, are as follows: Barbara Ingles, Marianne and Richard Hale, Diane Rikhof, Char Hosea, Corkie McKenzie, Sally Oviedo, Justin Miller, Lynn Horner, Robert and Jane Gaines, Shirley Benz, John and Denise Johnson, Connie Cook, Laverne Hanes, Cheryl Butcher, Pat Miller, Rhonda Jones, Sherry Manyik, Carol McClure, Nona Resel, Jenny Mathews, Helen Bendzsa, Donna Abert, Sandi Hofferber. The talents of the artists vary greatly: for example, Hofferber specializes in sewing specialties such as aprons and quilts, Robert Gaines does photography, Marianne and Richard Hale do sculpture. Eldon and Doreen Gierhan are longstanding supporters of the mall group, marketing their jams, jellies, sauces and relishes there as Scaff Brothers.
A rear room with a large window into the store was remodeled and rented to Pat Miller for her quilting studio. She and her husband have moved to Casa del Sol, and her quilting supplies were too much for their apartment.
The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Otero Junior College assisted the artists in starting the First Street Emporium. The address is still 112 W. First St.
The SBDC helps entrepreneurs start and expand small businesses in Colorado. The SBDC at OJC offers free, individualized and confidential management consulting to residents of the six southeastern Colorado counties.

A loyal Kotaku reader contacted me yesterday to notify me that they needed to focus on schoolwork and would like to be blocked from our site for a bit. I didn't want to ban this reader, so I offered a one-week commenting suspension. They accepted it and are now, hopefully, productively Getting Things Done.
I don't think this kind of customer service should be kept secret, so I'll offer it now to all: If anyone else is feeling too tempted to comment and really should be doing something else, let us know and we'll suspend you for a week.
Please keep on reading, though, alright? Reading isn't too distracting, I'm sure.
(Fun side fact: After I mentioned on Twitter yesterday that I was doing this, the former head of Xbox Live policy enforcement, Stephen Toulouse told me that parents used to make similar requests for their kids to be briefly blocked from Xbox Live!)

Usher Accused of Stealing 2004 Hit Song 'Burn' [VIDEO]
A songwriter named Ernest Lee Straughter is accusing Usher of stealing from one of his songs for Usher's chart-topping 2004 hit 'Burn.'
At issue is a song Straughter created in 1998 called 'The Reasons Why' which was recorded by a group called Reel Tight under the title 'No More Pain' late that year.
Billboard reports that a federal judge in California accepted a report submitted by a musicologist detailing similarities between the two songs, and has refused to dismiss the case.
The judge found that there was sufficient possibility that Usher and his collaborators on the song — who include Jermaine Dupri, one of the co-writers — had access to Straughter's work. Straughter offered several possible theories, the most plausible being that an intermediary — in this case, rapper Warren G, who has collaborated with both Usher and Reel Tight — might have provided Usher and Dupri with the song. The defendants dispute that, saying Warren G had nothing to do with 'Burn's' creation.
The judge also discovered that Reel Tight's album reached number 197 on the Billboard 200 chart for one week in 1999 and also reached number 32 on Billboard's R & B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and thus Usher and his collaborators could have heard the song because of its — as the complaint put it — "wide dissemination." The defendants dispute how widely the song was disseminated, noting that it got very little airplay.
The judge will now reconsider the arguments and determine if the case should go before a jury — rare in song theft cases.
Check out Usher's song 'Burn,' along with Reel Tight's song 'No More Pain.'

FORT MYERS, Fla. (Oct. 10, 2009) -
Led by senior Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Columbia) and sophomore Ofir Weintraub (Rishon Le Zion, Israel), the ETSU men's tennis team earned seven wins Saturday at the fourth annual UNF Fall Invitational at the UNF Tennis Center in Fort Myers, Fla.
Isaza, one of the Buc 2009-10 captains, rolled past Jacksonville's Jimmy Eseban, 6-3, 6-1, in the quarterfinals, before a dismissing Hleb Maslau of UNF 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, in the semis.
With his two victories on the day Isaza will now face North Florida's Daniel Sotomarino in Sunday's Flight A championship match.
Also joining the winning ways was sophomore Weintraub who closed out both Florida A&M's Mitchel Lvovsky 6-3, 6-4, and Zach Zola of Belmont 6-3, 6-1.
The second year Buc will now face Sebastien Felt of George Southern in Sunday's Flight B consolation semifinal contest.
In doubles action, Isaza and Ofir kept rolling as the Buccaneer duo advanced to the Flight A doubles semifinal after the Florida A&M team of David Jackson and Michael Moore retired due to injury.
Also in the top doubles flight the ETSU duo of sophomore Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium) and senior Jason Ramski (Chicago, Ill.) took care of business with a tough 8-5, win over Belmont's Rodrigo Amaral and Felipe Cime Lima.
"Today was a good day," said ETSU assistant coach Ricky Rojas. "Danny (Daniel Isaza) won a tough match against a good opponent in Maslau. Also I thought both our doubles teams played well. To have two teams reach the semifinals is something I'm proud of. Hopefully our guys can take this momentum and use it tomorrow in the championship rounds."

Champions League: One man injured after Arsenal fans attacked in restaurant
A mob stormed into a restaurant injuring at least one person ahead of Tuesday's Arsenal v Napoli match.
Last Updated: 02/10/13 3:28pm
Witnesses described how around 30 men, described as fans of the Italian club, had team scarves tied round their faces and started shouting in Italian at those inside the busy restaurant.
One worker at the Piebury Corner eatery described how they had to duck for cover and how one customer had been attacked with a belt leaving "blood all over the floor".
The London Ambulance Service confirmed a man in his 40s was taken to hospital with head injuries, although they were not thought to be serious.
Emily Gould, who works at the Piebury Corner on Holloway Road, said around 50 customers were inside the restaurant when the supporters stormed the building.
She told Sky Sports News: "I think they were Italian men with Napoli colours and scarves tied around their faces.
"They were shouting something in Italian, chanting and causing trouble down the street.
"Then they came in to the shop. I was terrified. They started swinging belts around.
"The customers were very frightened."
Piebury Corner owner Paul Campbell said the attack was "completely unprovoked". The restaurant has had to close due to the damage caused.
He said: "We have had Napoli fans inside all day today, they have been having a good time and not bothering anybody at all. They have been no problem.
"Then we had a minority of them come in, being violent, picking up chairs and tables.
"There were three girls sat near me and these thugs just came in and grabbed the chairs from under the girls.
"It was completely unprovoked, I think they just picked us at random because they saw a busy restaurant and they wanted to fight someone - anyone."
Mr Campbell said he had no reason to suspect any trouble from Napoli fans before kick-off.
He said: "We are popular with home fans and the travelling European fans too. This just came from nowhere."

OAKLAND — Nearly three dozen people were displaced late Wednesday after a four-alarm fire that started outdoors spread to two buildings, an Oakland fire official said Thursday.
The blaze near 23rd Avenue and International Boulevard was first reported about 10:50 p.m. Wednesday and left 33 people without housing, Battalion Chief Lisa Baker said. A temporary shelter was opened for the residents and the Red Cross was helping them find housing.
Nobody was injured.
The fire started outside the buildings and quickly went to three alarms. The fourth alarm was precautionary, Baker said. Fire crews received reports that a loud bang preceded the blaze, and crews found remnants of fireworks near the scene, Baker said.
"That said, we're still not prepared at this point to say that fireworks caused the fire," Baker said. "It remains an active, open investigation."
Baker said the buildings that burned combined to form a four-plex, with residences on the top and businesses on the bottom. Three storefronts were damaged.
Some of the apartment units remained without electricity Thursday morning, and other parts of the buildings sustained minor water damage. Those apartments will be salvaged, Baker said, though it's not known when residents may be able to move back in.
The damage to the rest of the building was estimated to be $950,000, Baker said. It's not known what will happen to the businesses.

1. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Robert_Dodson) May 31, 2001 6:18 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)Please add full expert font support as in InDesign and
Photoshop 6.0 to Illustrator.
2. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Nadish_Naoroji) May 31, 2001 9:13 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)Illustrator 10 Color Wish List
The Pantone libraries MUST be stored in a device-independent colour space (Lab ??)
Enabling soft proofing and color management (optionally) permits both Swatch Library and created art to simulate RGB or CMYK destinations. I believe if you simply copied the outstanding soft proofing features from Photoshop 6 you'd have it right.
Another option is to incorporate Pantone's (now defunct ?) ColorDrive product right into Illustrator 10 AND Photoshop 7. This will permit the creation and export of device-dependant Swatch Libraries right within the apps.
3. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Tricia_Tahara) Jun 1, 2001 7:00 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)Please add the high number Pantone colours(like PMS7459cvc) and make a pallette for the solid matte book.
4. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Bill_McCoy) Jun 1, 2001 9:01 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)Feature list?
1. Spot color to Spot color Gradients.
(And NO CONVERTING to CMYK!)
2. Expanded Pantone Colors.
(Metalics, Pastels)
(Not Just wait for systems to get faster...)
Oh well, hopefuly I can give you some good ones..
5. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Ben_Salisbury) Jun 1, 2001 11:27 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)Support for Multipage documents or multiple drawing boards in one file similar to freehand.
6. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Richard_B) Jun 1, 2001 2:22 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)Why on earth do you limit the drawing space to only 120" x 120"? Quark limits their software to only 48" x 48". Most other software allows for huge art areas. This is a big limitation. I have to scale everything before I rip it.
It would be great to be able to work in L*a*b* color. My spectrophotometer is Lab. I am now familiar enough with the color space to where it would be of great use to me especially regarding precision color work.
Also, could you make the transform box consist of a check mark to determine whether we want proportional size adjustments vs separate height and width adjustments? Having to hit all those special keys for a proportional precision scale is the pits.
I don't know what you did with postscript in v9, but all the RIP makers that I know tell us to use v8 because v9 does something to the postscript. These RIP programs cost multiples of what Illustrator costs so I can't really just up and change RIPs like I can change Illustration software.
On another note, some help with SVG would be nice. Either do that in LiveMotion, GoLive or Illustrator. It's kinda tough figuring all that stuff out. Your SVG links on your web site are pretty good.............More SVG stuff!!!!!!!
7. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Lyn_Fabian) Jun 1, 2001 11:32 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)Ability to embed images from photoshop with spot colours eg duotones without them converting to CMYK instead of having to link them. It is really hard to work precisely with the low res link.
8. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(John_Dallaire) Jun 2, 2001 2:42 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)Ability to select all instances of a color (and tints of a color) in a design and change them to another color (while maintaining tint percentages) without having to make multiple selections via the menu item. Take a look at Freehand for how this is done.
Truth told, if Adobe were to change their way of dealing with colors to be more like Freehand, I'd keep my entire workflow in Illustrator.
9. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(John_Dallaire) Jun 2, 2001 2:56 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)While my mind is working on this...
1. The overprint preview feature is great. Finally I can get an idea of what my 20% pantone blue will look like overprinted on pantone yellow. However, I can not print out a proof to show my customer and have it look like it does on screen. Maybe an option to print a screen representation?
2. Transparency is a great feature, but having my spot colors converted to process makes it virtually unusable. Any way to have, say, a 50% transparent spot color over a 10% spot color over another 100% spot color sep out retaining all the spot color information? For example a 50% spot color would sep out as a 50% tint of the specified color. Right now, I have to move my individual shapes to Photoshop and have them each on their own layer in order to simulate the printing effect I 'm going for.
If you can't tell, I spend lots of time doing screenprint seps.
10. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Mark_Settle) Jun 4, 2001 2:27 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)Off the top of my head:
1. How about the ability to map channels in TIFF's to any colour we please.
2. It would be nice to specify colours in CMYK as well as spot percentages, rather than have to do it with a style or overprinting spot elements.
3. Expand the separations dialog - don't automatically turn CMYK on - give access to dot shapes - ability to merge colours on output.
More to follow. :-)
11. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Romeo56) Jun 4, 2001 4:38 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)PLEASE FIX THIS IN AI 9.x
1-The field value for border is so little that you can't see all the value you enter : you have to move the blinking cursor with the keyboard arrows to see what is hidden ! Considering this is a manoeuvre you have to do often,... :(
I'm waiting since 7.0 version that adobe fix the problem !
2-New transparency features are great but why sometimes ai9 is able to DISPLAY them but not to convert in bitmap nor to print !
We come back to years where postscript files needed us to pray before flashing. the first job i made with ai9.0 I had to CAPTURE SCREEN image (in 12 zoomed pieces for suffisant resolution) ! Very funny !
3-it is mandatory to know what is the scale factor and the rotation degree of a placed image (tif,...) even AFTER those operations are done. Iwould appreciate it could be the case of vector path too. Why not ? :)
4-please add fonction to convert more easily and more completely (shortcut, automatic first level layer, dialog box to rename, etc.) grouped objects into layer for preparation to export to image ready (for use of rollover fonctions) OR add in ai 9.x slice and animation palette ?!
5-even a little enhacement of the poor perspective effect if you don't want to concur Dimension.
6-when you select two objects with exactly the same effects attributes you can't edit the effect for both in the same time (access denied)
7-about anchor points : PLEASE let user choose for greater dimension of those (freehand's one are far more easy to select) and by the way, add icons of the type of anchor points (sinusoïd or broken etc.) in an inspector window. And, like Freehand (sorry!:)), let users complete a path by simply SELECTING an anchor point and not having to "recreate" it with the pen tool. This is absurd. and frustrating.
12. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Dan_Gonzalez) Jun 4, 2001 11:22 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)1. Speed up this slow monster.
2. Easier Font Scrolling (Check out flashes new interface) Its 20 time seasier to see what fonts i need and not through a little window that can't even span the full font name.
3. Ability to drag images from photoshop with transparency without having to export them to save time...
Illustrator is quickly becoming stale and old. Its slow and the interface needs to be rahashed. Illustrator 5.5 was the best i have ever worked with. Fast and interface was not complicated (Example picking colors)
Just my 2 cents...
13. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(David_P._Park) Jun 4, 2001 11:25 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)#1: First and foremost, make Illustrator faster than the previous versions. You'll make everyone happy even before you add functionality.
#2: Add the ability to modify the placement of a stroke on the actual edge of an object: centered, inside or outside.
#3: Beware how much functionality you add to the program. The sheer number of features is very likely confusing most of your first time buyers. Consider making the program more modular.
14. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???Gusgsm Jun 5, 2001 5:23 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)The ability of replacing non-existing fonts when opening a file the same way that Quark Xpress or Freehand do. A simple dialog box would be enough but if you add the possibility of replacing a font for another once inside the file (without having to search for it) it would be nice as well.
Thank you very much.
15. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Romeo56) Jun 6, 2001 2:16 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)and my list continues...
8-change the fact that when a path is selected you cannot edit one single anchor point without deselcting th path and reselect the desired point : what Freehand proposes is far more intuitive.
9-it is really annoying that when you make a mask you lose the colors attributes of the mask object. This should be an option. Once again freehand is not boring for that.
10-When we'll have a real time display when moving path and not only ghost line view ?
11-to follow...
thank you
16. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(benrush) Jun 7, 2001 7:56 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)1) We need transparency within gradients, much like the Photoshop 6 gradient tool.
2) We need skew, perspective, and distort tools, as in the photoshop transform tools.
3) We need an eyedropper than can select color from pixels in a rasterized image.
4) How about a filter that will convert a whole set of vector objects from full-color (CMYK or RGB) to the color's grayscale equivalent, and then from that grayscale to various shades of a swatch color, etc??

18. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Ron_W._Nelson) Jun 10, 2001 1:55 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)1. A gradient stroke.
2. Font previews.
19. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Joe_Springfield) Jun 10, 2001 7:50 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)1. The ability to set the Layers Palette functions to 'Show layer only' and 'Thumbnails off' as the default for all new and opened drawings.
2. Make the toolbox capable of docking as a single row of icons at the periphery of the screen with fly-outs for the tool options ala version 5.5(?).
3. Make functions for the right mouse button selectable and constant.
4. Return the selected color dot to the layer line so that color coded layers can be selected without having to select an object on the layer to see the layer color assignment.
5. Make the snap-to more accurate and stable.
20. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Richard_B) Jun 11, 2001 8:55 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)Bring in a completely revised vector optimization palettes. We use a vertical market program called FlexiSignPRO ($5000) which has some incredibly intuitive vector control features. The website is http://www.amiableworld.com
If Illustrator could somehow utilize their vector tools then you guys would have it all!!!

25. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???LenHewitt Jun 12, 2001 11:17 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)Donald,
To include an image within a forum message you need to upload the image to a web server and then use the  tag within the body of the message.
However, we would prefer yopu just make a link to the image rather than embedding it within the message then folks that don't want to see it needn't be saddled with bandwidth overhead
26. Graphing/charting dialogs with "apply" buttontlmurray23 Jun 14, 2001 2:26 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)Most if not all of the graphing (that is, charting) tools have an OK button

27. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(JET) Jun 14, 2001 2:51 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)This is a cross post from one I put in the discussion threads. Someone said I should put it in this thread, too.
In AI, the Constrain function is less accessible than it is in FH,
because it is a preference setting. Besides being much less convenient
to get to, it also means you can't utilize it in AI's Actions. If you
COULD use it in Actions, it would be very useful in tech
illustration--moreso than FH's Constrain--because changing AI's
constrain also rotates the grid (!). So using Actions, you could set up
one-click buttons to rotate the grid to the axis you are drawing on, and
you'd be able to use the grid to measure along the axis.
If anyone pertainent at Adobe is listening here, I sure hope this would
be considered as a modification for the next version. Make the Constrain
function immediately accessible as a simple menu selection instead of a
preference. (In FH, it's a command under the View menu. There is a
Constrain Xtra that basically just lets you access the Constrain dialog
by clicking on a "tool" icon. So, for example, when you are drawing in
isometric, you can simply put the Constrain Tool in a convenient place
(mine stays in the main toolbar). You click it, key in either 30, 150,
or 0, and hit return. Don't even have to look at the screen, so it's
fairly quick. Of course, this is nowhere NEAR as good as it would be in
AI, if only the Constrain could be built into an Action. You could
create 3 buttons, (one for each X, Y, and Z axis) and one click would
give you a measurable grid on the appropriate axis. Besides FH not
having a macro capability like AI's Actions, FH's Constrain does not
rotate the grid. So making the Constrain funtion in AI a menu selection
instead of a preference would result in a significant advantage for tech illustration.
If you REALLY want to blow FH away in this regard, do the same thing
with the grid. The user definable Grid is similar to FH's Rulers in that
you can set the increment you want. But in FH, again, it's a menu
command/dialog, not a preference setting. And you can create as many
custom rulers as you want (they are then selectable from a popup at the
lower left of the document window). If AI allowed for multiple
user-defined grids, then made them accessible as menu items rather than
as prefs, you could switch them with Actions. Then, you could, with one
click, measure along your three drawing axes EVEN IF THEY HAD DIFFERENT
SCALES (facilitating dimetric and trimetric, instead of just isometric
28. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(JET) Jun 14, 2001 3:07 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)It's a constant mystery to me why no PostScript vector drawing tool has any more capable an ellipse tool than every ordinary office application.
Similar to a set of ellipse templates, an ILLUSTRATION program should at least offer this:
Double click the ellipse tool to invoke a simple dialog in which is a field labeled "angle." If one keys in 35, he gets a 35 degree ellipse (scaled by the cosign of 30 degrees) when he ShiftDrags an ellipse, rather than a circle. Greatly needed for tech-ish illustration. The dialog should also have a check box labeled "isometric." This would ShiftConstrain the ellipse to 35°16' and scale it aproximately 124.24% so that its true measure would be across it's 30° (isometric) diameter.
Frankly, all LBOs and polygon tools should have this funtionality, but it is first and most sorely needed for ellipses.
29. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(JET) Jun 14, 2001 3:32 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)With Smart Guides turned on, the Rotate tool snaps to the angles set in the Smart Guides preference, but relative to the position of the mouse click. This would be much more useful if it snaped to the pref angles relative to the center of transformation.
For example: I set the Smart Guides angles to 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 to facilitate isometric drawing. Then I try to rotate an ellipse to align correctly with an axis. But when I use the rotate tool, Smart Guides references the point where I first click to initiate the rotation, which is useless for my purpose. If it referenced the center of transformation point, I would know when I have ROTATED THE OBJECT 30 degrees, rather than merely when I have moved my mouse around the point where I clicked. But instead, the Smart Guides only indicates the default 45 and 90 degrees relative to the origin point about which I am rotating the object.
30. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(ego) Jun 19, 2001 12:25 AM (in response to (Tricia_Tahara))For ai 10: multi page and customizable master pages
31. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(benrush) Jun 19, 2001 7:59 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)The debate rages on about whether or not to install multipage/layout technology in illustrator, more advanced illustration and photo-editing in InDesign, more vector capabilities in Photoshop, etc, etc... and at the same time to speed up ALL the programs!
I think the solution is to build ONE big-*** application that consists of dozens of modules that can be opened and closed AS NEEDED, to save memory and avoid too much complexity. Each module would be a seperate entity that could be run alone to perform certain tasks, and when combined with another module, both are enhanced. For instance, why do we need seperate (and less robust) vector tools in Photoshop, when we've got great tools in illustrator, already? If you could work on a layer in photoshop THROUGH ai, then you'd have a much more incredible tool on your side. Similarly, why do we have 3 completely different page setup and print procedures, when we could have ONE print module that handles them all? "Save for Web" (which already exists as a module much like I'm talking about here) shouldn't be three seperate modules for 3 seperate programs... just make it once, for all three. And the other big programs: Acrobat, Dimensions, Streamline, all could benefit from this as well. Imagine InDesign's layout tools being used in Acrobat? Or Streamlining a photograph without having to leave illustrator?
Filters and plug-ins are good starts for such a system, but applying a filter to an object in ai or psd is pretty much a trial-and-error, do-and-undo process. If each filter were, in effect, an application in itself, with it's own history, it's own documents... then you could work on an object (or layer) both places, using the tools from the "native" program as well as the filter, to fine-tune your work.
You could potentially have hundreds of modules, each independently updatable, each sold seperately or en masse. And, hopefully, third-party players could get into the game much like those that produce filters do now.
We don't need more memory-hogs on our systems. We need more efficiency.

35. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Bill_McCoy) Jun 21, 2001 8:51 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)Feature?
Consideration for packaging companies. Many of the new features are fantastic but they do not print well. I know it's becomming a "web world" BUT all to many of those people want the WEB on their Label / Box / Etc. . .
I guess I am asking for more "time in the field" seeing WHAT EXACTLY people are using Illustrator for.
36. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Richard_B) Jun 27, 2001 6:34 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)I have trouble with compound paths. Take, for example the letter "B." It has three paths, two of which should be compounded with the outside path. When I open a file that has had compound paths released, then select letter "B" for example, only the top or bottom hole shows.
I must do a pathfiner->divide and then ungroup and delete the inside of the B to have the background show through.
More Robust Compound Features, please.
37. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(walkerjk) Jun 27, 2001 10:18 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)AI9 introduced the ability to export to cgm, but only version 1? This feature was almost obsolete when it was introduced!
Give us the capability to export (or "Save As") cgm 1 thru 4, including their different profiles (ATA, CALS, etc.)
I know cgm is not as good as postscript, but like it or not,the demand for it is growing (particularly in Europe).
38. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Perry_Steinhoff) Jun 28, 2001 9:21 PM (in response to Mordy Golding)A "Save As Copy" option is needed in the Save As dialog box (like Photoshop 6). I don't get why AI bucks the standard Mac logic by not updating an open document's name in the Title Bar when you "Save As." Rather, you must close the open document and open the newly Saved As document. One careless Command-S after a Save As, and you've contaminated the original. AI didn't used to do that. Drives me nuts. Thanks for the forum and a great product.
39. Re: Got an idea for Illustrator???(Richard_B) Jul 12, 2001 5:31 AM (in response to Mordy Golding)I have an idea that involves saving artwork. When you save a file and go through to select illustrator v3 - v8 ---not v9--- and select if and how you want the preview, etc and hit "OK" it then takes you to another dialogue box that tells you if you really want to do this.

I usually fly through the dialogues and sometimes forget to check or uncheck an option....

The point is that it would be nice when the dialogue pops up telling you to go ahead and save or cancel saving that you guys might put a <back> button to go back to the previous window where we can reselect our options and THEN save the file. Otheriwse we have to go back to the drawing and do apple-S.

I know its not a big thing but it would really add to an already elegant program.
