US might be a 'nation of deadbeats'
Americans have been paying down debt but walking away from more.
This post comes from Brett Arends at partner site MarketWatch.
President Barack Obama said on Monday that "we are not a nation of deadbeats," but instead a people who "pay our bills."
A close look at the data reveals a very different story -- and one that gets far too little airing in public discourse.
Far from paying our bills, the current generation of Americans -- or some of them -- have set records for default which probably have no parallel in the history of the human race. During the last five years, U.S. individuals have walked away from a staggering $585 billion in mortgages, credit card debts and other personal loans. That works out at about $6,000 per household.
And if the numbers are to be believed, there is probably a lot more to come.
Turn on any news program devoted to the economy and you will doubtless hear some Wall Street blowhard telling you that American households have been "repairing their balance sheets" and paying down their debts. They make it sound so virtuous, and they often then segue into sneering remarks about those degenerate Greeks and other Europeans who don't behave in the same responsible way.
The truth is very different. According to the Federal Reserve, U.S. household debt peaked five years ago at a gigantic $13.8 trillion. Since then it has declined to $12.9 trillion -- a decline of about 7%. To put that in context, household debts today still exceed those seen at the end of 2006, near the peak of the bubble. They are three times what they were in 1998.
Furthermore, the majority of that reduction hasn't come from people paying off their loans, but from banks writing them off.
The total debt reduction from the peak, says the Fed, is $954 billion. Loan write-offs, at $585 billion, account for 60% of that. In other words, for all the chest-thumping about how Americans are repairing their balance sheets and how we aren't a nation of deadbeats, in the past five years Americans have walked away from $3 in debt for every $2 they've paid off.
In the first quarter of 2010 alone, about 13% of all credit card debt was just written off.
Households weren't alone. Corporations have defaulted on $35 billion to $40 billion in debt per year in recent years, according to Moody's.
Naturally this has occurred even while the federal government has bailed out bankrupt financial institutions, and flooded the economy with massive deficits, low interest rates and free money to make it all easier.
Heaven knows what the situation would have looked like under a system of honest money.
It's easy to get too sanctimonious. Once a country gets itself into a disastrous debt hole, write-offs may be the only sensible way out. After all, for every reckless borrower there was also a reckless lender. If a debt is not going to be repaid, a policy of "extend and pretend," let alone, say, debtors' prison, is not going to help. So maybe deadbeat economics is the way to go.
But let's go easy on the chest-thumping.

1. There is such a thing as trickle down economics. We take our ques from the government, whether we are aware of it or not. It begins there.
2. There's always 2 sides of a coin. We, as a society, have become unethical. People will do anything for money. We have taught our children to be manipulative and demand the best of everything. When did the goal of surviving become obsolete? Now we're poor if we don't have everything we want. ( Wants are defined by an individual.)
3. Let's take some responsibility here. Reflect on what we can do to strengthen our country. Live within our meager means. Enjoy family life again. Look for ways to live a frugal existence. Then no one can take anything away from you. You are in control. We have given control to the government through our depression and defeatist attitudes. Let the deadbeats do their thing. That doesn't mean we have to. Fight back by not falling for the crap Washington is putting out. If each of us strengthened our personal lives, they have lost. Meet the challenges and overcome them. Take personal responsibility. It took years to get here, it will take some time to return to strength. We can do it, one family at a time.
In 2008 American's household debt total was $13.8 trillion. In 2013 it was $12.9 trillion. Thus a decrease of nearly $1T (taken from the article)
In 2008 American's federal debt total was $10 trillion. In 2013 it was $18.5 trillion.
Compared to our govenment American's are doing incredible!!! The sad part is that the American people are ultimately responsible to pay the debt racked up by our government. Well at least our children are...
Wow. What a great story "MSN Money partner".
Now, back to the real world:
Think about this for more than a few seconds please, for it's weight will crush your ignorance as if it never existed.
There is no such thing as "an answer to society's woes". A "woe", is presumed to be another term for problems, or issues? If so, neither of which can ever be completely removed from society. As long as there is a knowledgeable mind and a conscience, imperfection will be everywhere one looks. Some problems, such as the financial one we are in right now, only exists because of the introduction of the currency system in the first place. We are experiencing the inevitable. But, instead of looking at the entire world's future as the big picture, most feel their own native counties are the priority. Whether we like it or not, the entire world is connected, through money. The only true, utilitarian purpose of currency, is to limit the consumption of natural resources. Thousands of years after it's beginning though, it's now used for more sinister acts, such as controlling people and populations. And now, everything you do, from the minute you wake, until just before bed, you have one main agenda. Make money. Most of us don't realize that we are, in fact, paying for our own slavery, literally. Good morning folks. (WAKE UP!) Time to go to work!
If the United States Socialist Republicans or USSR, would simply stop expanding government size and spending every time they get the White House we could fix our nation over night.
Nixon added the EPA
Reagan added the DVA
Bush added the TSA, HLS and Medicare D
The party that claims to be the party of smaller government is the one growing it, is it that Republicans don't know how to add or is it that they can't stop adding ?
Lets start dropping 25% of that cash into our school systems and attack this issue where it's roots are. How are children going to get past the ignorance that makes them prime recipients of federal aid and into productive tax paying citizens. It sure isn't going to happen by dumping aid into other countries.

Best and worst Oscar wins and losses of recent years
Best Picture
Shafted Nominee: Brokeback Mountain (2006)
Ang Lee placed a well-trained and subtle hand on Brokeback Mountain - derided by the less sensitive as "the gay cowboy movie" - and got wonderful performances out of Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal and, particularly, the late Heath Ledger. But the Oscar went to Paul Haggis' Crash.

Parachute Takes Questions Via Interactive Video
It'a pretty much every (non-awkward) music fan's dream to get the chance to quiz their favorite musicians face-to-face. Well, now all you Parachute fans can do just that — via a new interactive video.
The vid — which features all members of the band sitting on stools, looking slightly peeved — allows users to click on each musician in order to ask him a series of multiple choice questions. Click on A, B or C to pose your query. Before launching into the Q&A, I recommend just looking at the start screen for a while. The guys start to get genuinely agitated that you have not yet started the interrogation, waving and tapping their watches dramatically. It's rather adorable.
The video was created using a technology called Frixxer that responds to touch, voice and other actions. This particular vid, however, only responds to clicks, making it much like Andy Grammer's video for "Keep Your Head Up" (O Music Awards winner for "Most Innovative Music Video" last time around).
Check out the video here and let us know what you think.

There may be a purpose lurking behind the fact that I never learned anything useful and -- the two are connected -- have allowed myself to become a physical wreck. I did not want to be distracted, did not want to be distracted by the pleasures life has to give a useful and healthy man. As if illness and despair were not just as much of a distraction!
An endless, dreary Sunday afternoon, an afternoon swallowing down whole years, its every hour a year. By turns walked despairingly down empty streets and lay quietly on the couch. Occasionally astonished by the leaden, meaningless clouds almost uninterruptedly drifting by. "You are reserved for a great Monday!" Fine, but Sunday will never end.

Senior Executives
- Outplacement
- Assessment
- Coaching
- Mobility of spouse
The main stages of outplacement
Outplacement has a structured approach, but the importance of each stage varies from one person to another.
It's all together a stage to reflect on the next step and heal from the previous experience.
During that stage, clients will focus on their personality, experiences and motivation to identify suitable options to achieve a successful transition.
Personal branding
Project implementation requires an appropriate self-communication.
Most outplacement firms train their clients on their writing skills (CV, job ads, applications…)and oral skills (interviews, networking…) through group workshops.
Job search
Efforts and job search techniques depend on the project. Looking for a senior executive position in a company is quite different from starting a new business, taking over a firm or consulting. And the time frame varies drastically.
A regular job search will require both a classical approach (headhunters, job ads…) and a lot of networking, whereas entrepreneurial projects will succeed exclusively through intensive networking.
A key stage in job search is choosing the right offer. The consultant's role in that choice is crucial: should you accept an offer, should you chose one over another, should you start your own business or become a consultant.
Most outplacements include an assistance to integration in a new position. It is the best way for a senior executive to understand his positioning in his new environment and improve his chances of success.
Good communication of one's objectives or projects is often the key to a successful approach to professional repositioning.
When learning how to better communicate, nothing beats confrontation with other people. It is in this climate that Nexmove consultants regularly run a joint intensive two-day course during which they get the most out of group dynamics (6 to 8 people per workshop).
The first thing to do is to realise that communication is above all a matter of perception and that such perception stems just as much from the words uttered as from all the non-verbal elements accompanying them.
The exercises are perfectly staged in terms of difficulty so as to enable each person to show himself in the group's mirror in gradual and serene fashion. The program alternates theoretical exercises (totally interactive nevertheless) with practical sessions where use is made of video.
- Day 1 :
- As a preamble, a few role-plays to get together and release natural inhibitions, refine one's capacity for observation, become aware of one's own implicit analytical grid. The aim being to narrow the gap between what each person wishes to project and what he actually projects so that everyone is able to put his communication in the service of his goals.
- This is followed by an exchange of views on the founding principles required for intelligent communication, with three watchwords: appeal, convince, secure.
- Then a practical session on time management pointing out the relativity of time according to situations and individuals and supplying follow-up activity reports for a better organisation.
- Day 2 :
- Primary target is to take a broad view of what a network approach can be: identify it, develop it, keep it alive, rejuvenate it. But above all, perhaps, how to appropriate it on the basis of what makes one "tick" or "stall"!
- Work also on interview techniques by sharing one's experience: reasons for departure, strong/weak points, management style, motivations, remuneration...
- The video sessions enable each participant to sharpen their presentation (NB: 3 minutes maximum!) and to collect feedback, as relevant as it is friendly, from the group… and the consultants.
Two days rich in exchanges of views that weld the group together and form part of the beginnings of a new internal Nexmove network… assuming the will is there.
- Day 1 :
Web 2.0 training
Web 2.0 training
Internet has become an indispensable source of information, but it isn't always simple to find the adequate information. The emergence of web 2.0 has increased the volume of available information by facilitating the creation of online content for the web surfers and promoting the development of on line and collaborative tools.
1st day :
- Acquire the fundamentals necessary to an optimal use of internet
- Discover the different search tools and their advanced features
- Build your digital identity
- Select your sources and organize your business intelligence
- Get accustomed to collaborative tools
This very intense day will help you optimize your investigation methods, better monitor your digital identity and organize your business intelligence. And it will also let you discover online tools often related to familiar issues.
2nd day :
It is organized as a group workshop. Participants will set their personal tools on their own computer and get answers to most FAQ.
A 1-day training session led by Jacques FAUGERON to overcome stagefright and stress by staying in control!
Jacques has always been an actor. At Nexmove he is responsible for coordinating a highly concentrated day that more resembles a training session than a course.
And for the participants in this training session, the challenges are really tangible:
- How to give the best account of oneself interview after interview?
- How to give the best of oneself while remaining…oneself?
- How to prepare oneself to feel the need for something… so as better to communicate that need?
- How to reveal one's rough edges and stay natural for the sake of greater impact?
- How to improvise with talent to lend one's message greater substance?
Jacques takes the group of 6 to 8 people he is responsible for into the realm of physical preparation… like a sports coach!
Program :
- Opening up all the body's possibilities
- Control of breathing
- Optimisation of articulation
- Placement of the voice… so that the look, the silences and the smile required for genuine contact can take their rightful place in the interviews.
Little theory, maximum amount of in-situation training: the body moves, the blood rushes, the tongue clicks, the gaze precedes the utterance. Each person asserts his presence, becomes aware of his body, and gradually the latter becomes an ally in a more open, truer and deeper communication.
A 1-day course conducted by Marie CASEL-DOUEZY to make you aware of the importance of the consistency between the image you show and your environment.
Marie is a special person with an amazing presence. When she enters a room, silence falls and all eyes turn in her direction.
Her objective is extremely operational. Here there are no formatted clones, or caricatures of young (or less young!) dynamic executives. Her profession is rooted in the concrete: she is an image counsellor and knows perfectly well that an image is always in the service of something else.
Her first question to participants sets the tone: "Does your communication correspond properly to your business project"?
This is just to remind you that in the end everything comes down to communication: our discourse naturally, but also our expressions and gestures, our glasses, our make-up.. or absence of make-up, our accessories, or absence of accessories, the colour and cut of our clothes and hair! Items that say a lot about us, more often than not without our realising it and whose impact on our interlocutors remains unknown to us!
Throughout the course Marie will help each member of the group render his image consistent with his own objectives (while respecting his personality) using a dash of theory and and lots of practice.
At the conclusion of this day, the participants will have put into practice some of Marie's advice: there are those who feel more assertive, while others seem more youthful and still another is thinking about getting new glasses. All of them are ready to take to themselves the Nexmove's communication watchwords: "appeal, convince and secure".
With a new image whose effectiveness can very easily and speedily be put to the test when confronted with a potential recruiter.
English training
English training
Most managers and senior executives working in internatonial environments must speak perfectly at least a second language…mostly English.
Nexmove train those with a sufficient level in English to impact communication during a workshop led by Peter Ryan.
2 main issues:
- Group work on key principles about CV and interviews
- One-on-one session taking into account each participant's specific need
This training helps lower the stress and stagefright of those not too familiar with Shakespearian expression!
Life balance
Life balance
Sleep, eat healthy, forget about stress… Easy to say!
A half-day workshop on the concept of wellness led by Josée CLOUTIER.
If a professional break often has psychological effects, it is too often forgotten that one must measure the physiological effects as well: sleep disorders, stress, disturbances in attitudes to food…
From her personal and professional experience as nutritionist, Josée wanted to share with the executives undergoing outplacement at Nexmove her thoughts on the concepts of life-balance and wellness.
4 days prior to the workshop, the participants are asked to fill in an anonymous questionnaire about their way of life. This enables Josée to personalize her action. Each presentation is then made on the basis of regular enrichment from the specific participation of the group.
The workshop is essentially regulated by the discovery of some simple and concrete principles governing relaxation, diet, physical activity to be kept in mind so as to maintain equilibrium of body and mind.
- Knowing your ideal weight
- Discovering your sleeping-waking rhythm
- Practising instant relaxation exercises
- Familiarising with the basic rules for a healthy diet…
You will find in this day what you have come to look for… starting with a few keys on how to find a more balanced existence. Down to them to put them into practice…
La vie nexmove -menu droit en
When you leave your former employer, the environment you will find in your outplacement firm is essential.
A friendly setting, a welcoming environment that enables you to respect your privacy when you want to work efficiently, this is what it's all about.
More than 6000 sq ft on 3 levels with private access to a courtyard garden and 2 terraces give extra warmth and light to these premises. Much attention has been brought to interior design with private sections, 3 meeting rooms, 12 individual offices, 14 open work spaces.
You will of course access to the latest technologies (latest generation PC, WiFi, high speed internet, remote Extranet connection, industry and company data base, headhunters online directories, Nexmove Club…).
3 TV flatscreens broadcast live news on Nexmove's week events, workshops, conferences, useful links, last events photos…
This environment is run by a support team of 5 entirely dedicated to your needs and expectations.
Networking groups
Networking groups
Value and share one's skills.
After leaving a company, managers in an outplacement process often share common questions and goals.
At Nexmove, they have chosen to build networking groups on sectoral or positional affinity to share each one's skills in specific areas.
They meet on regular basis at their own will and rhythm and renew according to those who come and go in the process with groups currently active on
- Finances
- Marketing
- Health industry
- Supply Chain
- Entrepreneurship
Networking, exchange of contacts and experience, hints to prepare a specific interview, market and legal infos… Each participant brings his own contribution to the group: questions, expertise, skills...
New groups can emerge anytime under the initiative of a newcomer !
Because people are stronger together than alone.
Combine body & mind.
It is common for a supposedly active manager to feel out of balance with his environment. Schedules vary, as well as needs & expectations. This doesn't mean stepping back and waiting! On the contrary. It's an opportunity to consider things from a different angle. The Nexmove way !
Throughout the years, thanks to individual initiatives from the Nexmove team or clients, new activities have emerged.
4 or 5 times a year, Jean-Noël Merkenbrack, consultant at Nexmove takes out a group of 10-15 adepts for a hiking workshop. Hiking in small groups to discover treasures of nature around Paris to laugh, exchange and move. "La coulée verte", Rambouillet and Fontainebleau forests, Vincennes park, Chevreuse valley, ...
Another way of envisaging transfer of experience, contacts, networking.
Nexmove life wouldn't be complete without its intellectual part. The library is a true institution! Aside from newspapers, magazines, directories and professional publications available, Nexmove encourages everyone to share the books they have enjoyed by lending them to the Nexmove library. Novels, essays, comics, management, sociology, art, sport, thrillers…any style is present.
To fit the image of those present at Nexmove: all different…but with style and value!
La Parisienne
Competition is everywhere in the business world. So, why bother with another competition, and a sports one on top of it? Because, when a Nexmove team takes part to that exclusively women's jog race of 6.5 kms around the Eiffel Tower, it's just for fun…and to detox head and body! Josée and sandrine are there to train and motivate the troops while training, during the race and to celebrate the performance (17th out of 159 teams in 2010!)…
Nexmove Club
Nexmove Club
Nexmove Club is a social network gathering on-line executives currently in or out of job having experienced or experiencing a professional repositioning process with a Nexmove consultant.
Each client receives upon arrival a login and password allowing him to connect to the Intranet and create his profile that will enrich a database of hundreds of members. As for other social networks such as Linked-in, Facebook or Viadeo, members can update, modify or enrich their profile upon request.
Club members have developed since 2004 close links and often turn to the database when they need to recruit a specific profile. Every year, several members find a new position directly thanks to another member's support and assistance.
Once a year in June, Nexmove invites Nexmove Club members to a big party (on average 250 to 300 attendants!). A unique opportunity to meet new faces or meet again members you haven't seen for a while in a festive context!
Most of the time, young graduates are not prepared to start their job search in a professional manner.
Nexmove has created at their benefit Firstmove, an association resting on a voluntary support from sponsors eager to assist them in their first job search.
Under Karima Gamgit's initiative (she's general manager in the publishing sector), Firstmove recruits its sponsors within the Nexmove Club database identifying members from different sectors and positions and getting them in touch with the young graduates.
To benefit from this unique assistance, young graduates must apply to Firstmove specifying their objective and the difficulties they encounter in their job search. After a preliminary interview with a Nexmove consultant, they are directed to a potential sponsor.
The 6-month assistance period consists of regular meetings to help graduates in finalising their professional objective, their CV, organising their network, preparing and debriefing interviews. Each graduate will naturally benefit from the Nexmove Club network and some Nexmove customers are committed to meet these particularly well trained candidates.
A socially reponsible approach for Nexmove, an opportunity to save time for young graduates!

Kathmandu, June 16
The government should find a way for the sustainable management of immunization programmes and work in collaboration with civil society organisation to meet Millennium Development Goals, social organizations stated.
Immunization to children against preventable disease is one of the most cost-effective health interventions and key to achieving the MDGs, said Buddhiman Shrestha, president of Rotary Club Kathmandu North.
Vaccine is the most effective way to prevent some of the worlds deadliest disease, like polio, measles, he said.
To take the full benefit of immunization, there is a need to improve and sustain existing routine immunization performance and evidence based introduction of new vaccine which remains out of reach for our children who need them most, said Dr. Ciro Quadro, executive vice president of Sabin Vaccine Institute.
As Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization (GAVI), a main source for developing countries, is now facing an acute shortage of fund due to the high price for new vaccines and declining donor agencies. This will reduce peoples access to vaccine in poor countries, the country itself think about long term and alternative sustainable financing to cope with the threat of decreasing international resources, said Ms Gillian Mellsop, UNICEF representative to Nepal.
The developing countries need to think towards the financial sustainability of their routine immunization and financial burden due to the introduction new vaccines, she said.
As healthy child and low mortality rate of mother was an indicator of nations prosperity, the Ministry of Health and Population committed to increase its investment in vaccine and join hand with civil society organization.
While speaking at the programme countdown to 2015 and sustainable immunization financing: role of civil society organization organized by Rotary Club of Nepal North under the support of Sabin Vaccine institute and Unicef Purna Kumari Subedi, deputy speak at the CA said that the government should come with a long term policy to meet the MDGs.
Representative from DFID, USAID, GTZ and FNCCI, Sabin Vaccine Institute and Unicef took part in the programme.

These are only the second Team Bank Kobe 6s we've seen so far but the Varsity Red and now this Midnight Navy seem to suggest a solid collection right around the corner and just in time for basketball in the fall. Click through for some more angles and stick with Sneaker News for the Zoom Kobe VI TB release dates. via in52

By clicking Submit, you accept the Adobe Terms of Use.
It is my pleasure to take you on an in-depth tour of Adobe Fireworks CS5 and the many things that we have done to improve it. I can sum up the essence of this release in three words: stability, performance, and polish.
For Fireworks CS5, more than with any other release in our history, we listened to our users. They told us that we needed to make sure Fireworks had rock-solid stability and reliability, and that we needed to refine the existing features before thinking about new ones. That's exactly what we did, and the results are impressive. Fireworks CS5 installs faster, launches faster (see Figure 1), responds to input faster, saves and loads files faster, and uses less RAM.
Here are some statistics on this version:
Quality and compatibility were the highest priorities for Fireworks CS5. The engineers added support for modern operating systems and fixed all known incompatibilities and bugs with legacy files from older versions of Fireworks:
We fixed all of the known Fireworks CS4 text shifting problems. There is one exception: there is a slight shift when converting Point Text objects to Area Text objects and vice versa. This is a limitation of the Adobe Text Engine, which treats Area and Point Text objects differently. In each, there are different values for the gap between the glyphs and the bounding box.
Some of the improvements we made in Fireworks CS5 require a legacy file (a file created in older versions of Fireworks) to be saved once in Fireworks CS5 before you can see the improvements. The Preview feature in the Open and Import dialog boxes is one example, as are conversions of text from the old text engine to the Adobe Text Engine. There are others too. For example, once they are saved in Fireworks CS5, your legacy Fireworks PNG files will open and close faster, and performance will be improved while you work with them.
To provide even more safety and protect against data loss, we implemented a Recovered Files feature for Fireworks CS5 on Mac OS X. If Fireworks should crash, a recovered copy of your open files will be saved into a Recovered Files folder on your Mac's desktop.
Most of the new features in Fireworks CS5 are designed to provide greater integration with the Creative Suite products, improve workflow efficiencies, and improve on the major use cases for Fireworks.
Fireworks is well known for its precise drawing tools and ability to preview and see exactly what your design will look like on the screen. We improved the precision of Fireworks CS5 by adding a new Snap to Pixel feature (Modify > Snap to Pixel), which snaps the anchor points of vectors to the nearest pixel boundaries, resulting in cleaner lines. Other tools have been improved for a greater degree of precision, and useful features have been added to the Properties panel so they're easier to find and always available (see Figure 2).
Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5 is a new interaction design tool for the Adobe Flash Platform. In Fireworks CS5, we updated our support for the new FXG 2.0 graphics file format and added lots of improvements. Once you export an FXG file, you can take it into Flash Catalyst where you can then add structure and interaction (see Figure 3).
FXG and Images is now a first-class citizen in the Fireworks CS5 Export dialog box (see Figure 4), where you can choose to export the current selection on the current page, entire current page, or whole document (all pages). Very good fidelity is maintained, preserving vectors whenever possible, and rasterizing to preserve the visual fidelity when necessary. FXG files exported from Fireworks CS5 can be imported into Flash Catalyst CS5, Adobe Flash Professional CS5, Adobe Illustrator CS5, and Adobe Photoshop CS5, and can be used by Adobe Flash Builder 4. FXG is an open file format, which can be extended by the community. FXG graphics are written into an XML text file, which means that they can be searched, indexed, diff-ed, scripted, and checked into source code control repositories.
Designing for mobile is something that designers are increasingly being asked to do. It can be a bit overwhelming trying to get started but we have some very good news. Whether you're designing for a particular mobile platform such as Google Android, Palm webOS, Apple iPhone, or Flash, Fireworks has the design tools you need to create beautiful mockups and optimized, screen-ready graphics quickly and efficiently. The Fireworks skills you honed over the years are going to serve you well as you venture into mobile, and we're now including Adobe Device Central CS5 with Fireworks CS5 (see Figure 5):
Adobe Flash Player 10.1 will enable mobile devices to display the same rich content that desktops can display, and a steady flow of new mobile devices are coming to market with the full capabilities of Flash Player. Flash Professional is going to help deliver SWF-based content on a multitude of devices, and Device Central will be kept updated with new device profiles automatically as they become available.
While we've supplied a few basic design templates in Fireworks CS5, the real power of this feature is in creating and sharing your own templates. For example, let's say you work on a team at a small design firm and struggle to keep everyone producing consistent work that represents your company well, or maintains style guidelines. You can now create your own templates for your typical project types, pre-embedded with your symbols and assets to ensure that all designers will work from the same base and produce consistent work. Use this with the File > Send to Email > Fireworks PNG feature to easily distribute new templates. The designers that receive your template can simply select File > Save as Template to add it to their own templates. To start new work from a template, just click Create New From Template (PNG) on the Welcome Screen (see Figure 7).
Fireworks CS5 now exports and imports ASE files (.ase extension) using the Swatches options menu in the Swatches panel. ASE files can be shared among Fireworks, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Adobe Kuler.
Fireworks CS5 has new Compound Shape vector drawing tools in the Properties panel (see Figure 9). You can now edit compound shapes more easily and draw in compound shape "modes." Drawing complex vector shapes has never been faster and easier. Also, unlike Path operations like Punch, Add, etc., the Compound Shape tools preserve the vector objects so they can be easily re-edited later.
Fireworks is known for its rich extensibility for developers and scripters. In Fireworks CS5 we added many new APIs, allowing access to new features and creating new opportunities to extend Fireworks for proprietary and custom workflows. (See Extending Fireworks CS5 in the online help for more detailed information on how to extend Fireworks. The end of this article also lists the new APIs.)
In addition to the performance improvements and new features, we did a lot in Fireworks CS5 to improve your workflows.
Fireworks CS5 now supports the latest version of Adobe AIR 2 for creating AIR files. The AIR runtime and SDK are easily installed and the process is started by simply choosing Commands > Create AIR file.
In Fireworks CS4, pasting from Illustrator resulted in primarily preserving the vector shapes and not many attributes. Fireworks CS5 now uses an embedded "headless" Illustrator engine, which means better fidelity for gradients, attributes, and properties of objects that you copy from Illustrator and paste into Fireworks.
Fireworks contains the mighty Adobe Text Engine, which is shared with InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. For Fireworks CS5, we have added some terrific refinements to text handling:
We introduced the CSS Export feature in Fireworks CS4 for exporting standards-based CSS layouts for the purpose of prototyping websites. For Fireworks CS5, there's an impressive list of improvements, in no particular order:
display: inline on all floated elements to prevent IE 6 double-margin float bug
<br> with
<div> tags to clear floats so unstyled users don't have unnecessary line breaks
Some experienced Fireworks users may prefer to see their objects rendered the old way. Whichever method looks better often depends on the artist and the look they're going for. We added the ability to force the desired rendering style in Fireworks CS5:
As modern operating systems move forward to a mostly 64-bit world, it is only expected that all applications move along in that same direction. For Fireworks CS5, we made sure that it is fully compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Although Fireworks CS5 is a 32-bit application, you will see benefits from running it on 64-bit operating systems with extra RAM.
For developers who can script using JavaScript, and who may want to compile extensions for Fireworks, we've made many improvements to the extensibility features. (For more information on extending Fireworks, please see Extending Fireworks CS5 in the online help.)
The following APIs and improvements have been added to Fireworks CS5:
fw.setPref("OpenNewDocumentsAsTabs", true)
fw.getDocumentDOM().VectorOperation = "intersect" // other supported parameters:
none (to set in the Properties panel)
fw.appTemplatesDir (prop)
fw.getDocumentDOM().combineCompoundShape(); // to combine compound shapes
locked property added (usage:
pathOperation property added (usage:
dither property added (usage:
If you read all the way to this point, I'm sure you'll agree that Fireworks CS5 is a very strong release. It will be a reliable workhorse for you, day in and day out. We hope it serves you well as you take on new challenges and grow as a professional.
Besides the Fireworks Developer Center, there are many useful resources available on the web and within the vibrant and generous community of Fireworks users. Join them, and be sure to give a little something back to the community:

JERUSALEM – Just days after the first round of global nuclear talks with Iran, a rift appears to be emerging between Israel and its closest ally, the United States.
Israel's prime minister on Sunday called on the U.S. to step up the pressure on Iran, even as American officials hinted at the possibility of easing tough economic pressure. Meanwhile, a leading Israeli daily reported the outlines of what could be construed in the West as genuine Iranian compromises in the talks.
The differing approaches could bode poorly for Israel as the talks between six global powers and Iran gain steam in the coming months. Negotiators were upbeat following last week's talks, and the next round of negotiations is set to begin Nov. 7.
Convinced Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes the Iranians are trying to trick the West into easing economic sanctions while still pushing forward with their nuclear program. Iran insists its program is for peaceful purposes.
I think that in this situation as long as we do not see actions instead of words, the international pressure must continue to be applied and even increased, Netanyahu told his Cabinet. The greater the pressure, the greater the chance that there will be a genuine dismantling of the Iranian military nuclear program.
Israel considers a nuclear-armed Iran a threat to its very survival, citing Iranian references to Israel's destruction.
Netanyahu says pressure must be maintained until Iran halts all enrichment of uranium, a key step in producing a nuclear weapon; removes its stockpile of enriched uranium from the country; closes suspicious enrichment facilities and shutters a facility that could produce plutonium, another potential gateway to nuclear arms.
Despite Netanyahu's warnings, there are growing signs that any international deal with Iran will fall short of his demands.
Over the weekend, U.S. officials said the White House was debating whether to offer Iran the chance to recoup billions of dollars in frozen assets if it scales back its nuclear program.
The plan would stop short of lifting sanctions, but could nonetheless provide Iran some relief.
In an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said it was premature to talk of easing sanctions. But he stopped short of endorsing the tough Israeli line and suggested the U.S. would take a more incremental approach in response to concrete Iranian gestures.
Asked whether he was worried the U.S. might ease the sanctions prematurely, Netanyahu urged against a partial deal with Iran. I don't advise doing that, he said on NBC's Meet the Press.
Details from last week's talks in Geneva have remained tightly guarded, but short-range priorities have been made clear. The U.S. and allies seek to roll back Iran's highest-level uranium enrichment. Iran wants the West to start easing sanctions.
The Israeli daily Haaretz on Sunday reported what it said were the key Iranian proposals last week.
It claimed that Iran expressed willingness to reduce the operations of its most controversial nuclear facilities, and perhaps open them to unannounced inspections.

Biggest Loser Impacts Teens – What about YOU?
In case you missed the big announcement this morning, Jillian Michaels is coming back to NBC's The Biggest Loser starting with Season 14 which will begin airing in January 2013.
There will be some changes "up in this house" as Bob Harper used to say! I think NBC heard all your/our voices that said, inspire us again! We don't want all the fighting and drama. What we LOVE about The Biggest Loser is that they take normal people like you and well, me, literally (ha-ha) and inspires us to change! It helps us all see: YOU CAN!
Not only is Jillian coming back but the show is also adding a Teen Cast, 3 teens per team I believe Jillian said. It isn't about how much weight they lose, it's about getting them HEALTHY! The teens are not going to be living on The Ranch (I don't know where they would put them honestly.) but BL will be helping them AT HOME!! They will be able to go to The Ranch at times I believe. Jillian said they have been and are consulting with the experts on how to make this work and that is exciting! Signing up for BL as an adult is one thing but as an overweight teen is entirely different and it appears BL is doing their homework.
The focus is HEALTH! Hooray! I now encourage parents to do it differently than I did with Ashley and my family. We all struggled some with our weight. I would encourage especially Ashley but did not change our eating habits as a family. I didn't as the Mom buying the food for my family say I NEED TO CHANGE to help me and my family. I didn't say let's go out and play something or go for a walk or hike or just get active. I didn't lead by example! OUCH! That really hurts to be so honest with you but as Betty Ford once said, "You can't overcome anything unless you face it".
Like most of us, I said I would do ANYTHING to help my children and did lots of things to give them the best I could! I helped them study, was very involved in their schools, church and activities. Looking back, I did do many things right. But this HEALTHY LIVING thing is where I blew it. It was a priority to an extent as my late husband, Ken became a Type II Diabetic and we worked to keep HIM healthier but not as a whole family.
Even when Ashley at 27 years old came to me and said she wanted to try out for The Biggest Loser, I said, I'll do anything I can to help you. Then she said I want you to go with me! I said I'll do ANYTHING but THAT! I was even upset with her that she thought I needed to go too! Yes folks, that was my "Mother of the Year" moment! A few days later, she showed me a video she made of how being 374 pounds affected her life. She shared the pain I do not believe I'd ever heard her say out loud. That was it, I was in from that moment and the rest is BL history and can be Googled forever!
Today, I encourage parents, grandparents, families, schools, etc. to STEP UP to change the HEALTH of your children! What I realize is that by me stepping up today in this area of my life and leading by example, I can change and impact in a positive way my children, grandchildren, great –grandchildren – I CAN help change their FUTURES so hopefully they may not struggle with family health issues. You know, Type II Diabetes, Obstructive Sleep Apena, Cancers, Heart Issues, etc . and all the side effects from those in our bodies. Now that is PURPOSE and real change! Making small changes can make big differences!
I had some "facing up" to do. What about you???????

text: Pites are what Greeks call their pies that are made with vegetables or cheese surrounded by layers of phyllo. Phyllo can mean the thin sheets of phyllo you find in the frozen section of the super market, or homemade phyllo (dough) which most women in Greece would roll out when they made a pita. It is just one layer of dough, kind of like a pie crust but thinner and more tender. It is sturdier than the thin is phyllo sheets and is better for pites that may be a bit more liquidy. It usually requires flour, olive oil, salt and kneading. Being short of time, I generally do not roll out my own dough and instead use the phyllo from the super market. The good thing about the phyllo that I find in Greece is that it contains no fat and just flour and salt. That is what you should be looking for as well. Read more »

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My child went to this school. It is okay, but not great. We decided to try one of the public schools in The Woodlands. My husband and I were very pleased. The reason there is a waiting list for this school is because it is the only Catholic School in the area. I did hear rumors that there might be a new Catholic School / Church developed in the future. Many people are asking for a new Catholic Parish in The Woodlands. That might change St. Anthony's smug and elite attitude.
St. Anthony of Padua is a good school academically. The students are challenged daily and there is more creative learning than found in public schools. Unfortunately, if your child does not fit their ideal student profile, it will be a very challenging environment for them. The school does not look at individual strengths and does not try to bring out the best in each student. The children who do not fit in their "box" are reprimanded repeatedly in a way that breaks their spirit. The school is very controlling and rigid and they do not care to consider any feedback. The principal is rarely seen. Despite many families leaving to go to other schools in The Woodlands, there remains a wait list so the school does not seem to be concerned with turnover. It is unfortunate that this is the only Catholic school option in The Woodlands.
St. Anthony of Padua is an awesome Catholic school. The Catholic Identity is strong and is found throughout the school from classrooms through extracurricular programs. Administration, teachers, and staff care about students. You feel welcome when you walk through the doors. I appreciate the new security features added to the campus to keep everyone safe. I think the education at St. Anthony of Padua is a great value for the tuition paid. My three children are who they are because of the great experiences they have had at this school.
This school is amazing! It is Christ centered and students are surrounded by their faith throughout the day. Character education, exceptional academics, caring and nurturing staff and teachers make this school one of the best in the Woodlands. Administration do an excellent job leading the school and creating an environment for children to develop in mind, spirit, and heart.
In September 2012, SAOPCS was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon school, selected because of their standardized test scores in reading and math which placed the school among the top 15% performing schools in the Nation. In 2013, the school earned another accreditation, this one from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement, an accreditation division of AdvancED. SACS CASI provides nationally recognized accreditation, the purpose of which is continuous school improvement focused on increasing student performance. To earn accreditation, schools must meet SACS CASI s high standards, be evaluated by a team of professionals from outside the school and implement a continuous process of school improvement.
There is a lack of warmth and true compassion for others at St. Anthony. Children are being educated in an environment that is teaching snobbish behavior, bullying, mean girls, mean boys behavior and to hate jews and blacks as they don't have hardly any blacks there. I am white and feel outraged at what my child is learning in regards to diversity. Things need to change recruitment for more diverse teachers and students need to happen so our children are prepared for the real world and not a lily white snobbish atmosphere. God help our school spiritually we are ok academically.
This is my daughters first year as a fifth grader. She attended Galatas elementary and was then zoned to Mitchell middle school. Mitchell is too large, and had mean girls who enjoyed bullying. We quickly enrolled her into St. Anthony's and she loves it. They really teach children compassion and a non judgemental love for each other. Everyday my daughter tells me how nice everyone treats her. I missed the signs and the extent of the negatively and cruety that exists is in the public school.
This is our third year at the school and we absolutely love it! It is academically rigorous as exemplified by their recent recognition by the US Dept of Education as a blue ribbon school. By all accounts the surrounding public schools are fantastic as well - they just can't incorporate the religious aspect as we desire for our children. It is a huge financial sacrifice for us to attend (no fancy vacations or new cars in our driveway) but it is completely worth it. It is very fairly priced for a private school making it available to a wider cross section than other private schools. Also - financial aid is available to make it as accessible as possible to those desiring a Catholic education. If you are looking for a great Catholic school - this school is for you! It has a very nurturing environment. The principal is incredibly competent and has been at the school since its beginning so she has a good handle on short and long term perspectives and the blue ribbon speaks to that. The other parents are very friendly, welcoming, and most importantly involved.
At this school, I found it's lack of discipline and strict rules on dress code to be unjust. The middle school staff is excellently trained in their subject of choice, but are limited by the head staff members. Also, some of their best teachers are frowned upon because they speak the truth, not what the principal is listening to hear. It would be an amazing school if they could just see that discipline is much more important then dress code, and staff should be picked on skill, not their willingness to tell them what they want to hear. They seem to think that everyone is made of money, they over price everything, thinking that they can rip people off. On a better note, I did enjoy the school trips and the students. Honestly, just send your child to public school, it will save you money for the same education.
This school provides great instruction and education but most importantly, builds character, develops self-esteem and confidence in children. It is very demanding, however my daughter attends and I've never seen her so committed and happy.
well, I just can say that my daugther (5) is very happy there ( the most important thing). She loves her teachers and always tells me good stories about her day at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School. As a mom I just hope to enroll my 3 years old son next year. It is a very safe place for children.
Excellent school. My daughter is extremely happy with her teachers. Parents are involved in all school activities. This is my daughter's second year attending this school and school staff already know her and our family. School has a very friendly environment. I am glad to be part of SAOPCS family.
My child will attend another school next year.I know for a fact we have more money than most people that send their children here. I don't like to say that, but I must. This school has a snobbish attitude. I do not want my child taught that $$ makes you better. Some of the public schools and other catholic schools around this area seem to teach the morals I was taught. I think the principal needs to come out of her office more often.
It's a good school...a little bit 'snobbish' for our taste but great teachers! If you like constant parent involvement then this is the school for you. Great sports, great facility...better be for the price.
I love this school - from academics to school pride. They have outstanding staff who truly care about the children. Even the 5th grade teachers know my PreK 4 child. I can't even imagine that remotely possible in the large public schools here. The school parents are extremely active and the energy is catchy. I feel sorry for the parents who felt otherwise. And hooray for their sports and activities and various awards, which are multiplying each year!!
I just read 2 negative reviews here and I m shocked. Our experience has been the exact opposite. We have 3 children in the school and our oldest is in his eighth year. We find the staff and administration to be very involved. Our youngest has ADD and the teachers and councilor are very willing to put in extra time and effort to help. I m guessing that the parents complaining are not very involved themselves because everyone my wife and I know that actively volunteers at the school has nothing but praise for the staff.
My husband and I are very disappointed with this school's administration. This school needs 'energy'!
An okay school - very little Christian behavior at this school. The Administration has a very 'hands off' approach. They usually know very little about what is going on, particularly in the middle school, and will not get involved unless they have to. I would recommend the public schools in the area as a much better option.
My child is currently in his fourth year at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School. As a former public school teacher, academics and faith were my two biggest concerns when evaluating a school to attend. From the beginning, we have been enthused with St. Anthony's challenging and enriched curriculum. Students are given the advantages of art, music, band, spanish, physical education and religion daily. The curriculum is also supplemented with all school activites such as Go Texan Day, Christmas Programs, Hispanic Heritage Celebrations, weekly mass, and a variety of PTO sponsored events. Everyone has a place and an opportunity to get involved AND THEY DO! By far, the most impressive thing about St. Anthony's is the way they work christian ideals into everyday life. Students are guided to a strong Catholic identity through daily religion classes and character building activities every day. I highly recommend checking this school out.
Our school is fantastic! St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School is extremely organized and professionally run. Our principal is certified in many different areas, and she is truly dedicated to educating our children while growing them in their faith. Our school has become an example for other schools to follow. Why? St. Anthony's test scores are among the highest in the diocese and the highest in our part of the diocese. Our school was accredited in its second year of operation (an amazing accomplishment!) Our Library Manager develops a strong love of reading in our children through her remarkable storytelling abilities. Not only does she entertain our children, but she is a welcomed storyteller throughout the community (see Becky Kinch on the library page of our website). The library at our school is well-stocked and students use the two up-to-date computers in each classroom. Saints Alive Program, Saints' Trivia Bee plus!

Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
A mellow, super-cool tour! Take a short canal sightseeing cruise before donning thermal clothing and having drinks in one of Amsterdam's most popular bars.
Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
For your cruise by luxury glass-topped sightseeing boat, make your way to the canal stop near Amsterdam's Central Station. As you glide effortlessly through the city, you'll see countless top Amsterdam attractions like the affluent Golden Bend (Gouden Bocht) neighborhood, the Anne Frank House and the Seven Bridges of Reguliersgracht. Pass the pretty gabled houses that Amsterdam is so well known for, and cruise underneath the Magere Brug, a beautiful bridge commonly known as the Skinny Bridge, while your audio guide will tell you interesting facts and stories.
The second part of your combination ticket is Amsterdam's Xtracold Icebar. Easily the coolest attraction in town, the bar is made completely from ice – with frozen furniture, walls and even glasses! You'll be given special thermal clothing and gloves to wear before you step into the frosty bar with a temperature of 14 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 10 degrees Celsius)! Once inside, spend 30 minutes relaxing at leisure, enjoying either a Smirnoff cocktail or Heineken beer; or take part in a 3D ride experience over icebergs and along steep cliffs in a frozen landscape.
Customer Reviews
April 2014
The tickets were much cheaper than what it would cost to buy out there, if I remember correctly the cruise was about €13 and the icebar about €16 per person. Both experiences were good and I would recommend both to others. Tickets were easy to pick up and the places were easy to find.
January 2014
Great cruise...the ice bar is a tourist scam.
