All right, let's take a look at how we change the preview of our 32 Bit HDR file that we created from three auto-bracketed exposures using the Merge to HDR function here inside Photoshop CS3. But before we do I should go ahead and save off this file so that you can open it up if you need to, if something went wrong on your end. So let's save it. You might want to save it along with me if everything went right on your end. Go up to the File menu and choose the Save command, I bet you knew that part.
But here is the interesting news which is the file formats that are available to you. Typically you are going to work with one of two file formate where HDR images are concerned. You can use TIFF if you want to so I guess one of three formate. But most likely you are going to use a native PSD format especially if the image has layers. If you have a 32 Bits/HDR file that has layers associated with it or Alpha Channels that kind of thing, then you are probably going to go with the Photoshop format. If you are looking for a wider compatibility with other applications that support HDR out there and there are some amazing HDR applications, then you are probably going to want to go with the Radiance format which ends with a .HDR extension. And so that's the way I am going to save this particular file, because it doesn't have any layers. And I am going to go ahead and call this, Houseboat 32-bit.hdr. So if you want to go ahead and open the file along with me here then you can. That's going to be the name of the file. It will appear in the 17_16bit_HDR Folder. I'll go ahead and click on the Save button.
Now this is going to be a big file incidentally. I am going to go down here to the right pointing arrowhead and I am going to switch over to Document Sizes, and you can see that is 90 Megs in memory. It's about 23 Megs on disk incidentally this HDR file is. All right, so having saved it which is of course a good idea, now we are going to switch this option back to where it was a moment ago, 32-bit Exposure. And notice that you have this little slider. It's only applicable to 32-bit HDR files. And you can actually change the Exposure of the photograph. If you drag to the right you are going to elevate the Exposure, you are going to make the image lighter, and if you drag to the left you are going to reduce the Exposure and this is strictly a preview function down here. And so you can see how your preview is changing on-screen.
The problem with this function, one of the rather confusing things about it is it's actually applying this Exposure function, this additional Exposure function that works on top of the preview. And so it doesn't update the thumbnail inside of the Layers palette or inside of the Channels palette. So those thumbnails and I actually think that Navigator palette let me check that out also the Navigator palette suffers. So all of these thumbnails are showing the original preview setting. And if you want to change that then here is what you do. You might want to go ahead and reset your Exposure to the middle. It doesn't matter where you set this Exposure by the way. You aren't actually modifying the pixels for real, because bear in mind as they are moving through these walls to other chairs it's really pretty much impossible to mess up the image using this Exposure slider incidentally.
Go up to the View menu, this one is strictly a preview setting so it can't harm the file. And you choose 32-bit Preview Options. And this will update all previews including the thumbnails. Notice that the Exposure is really cranked +6.67 that's a huge Exposure modification. I am going to go ahead and change the Exposure value to 0, and I am going to reset the Gamma to 1 as well, just so that we have just baseline settings for this particular image. Notice that the thumbnails did update, Navigator palette, Layers palette in the Channels palette as well, and I'll click OK in order to accept this new preview.
Now we can use this Exposure slider down here to test the highlights and shadows once again to see whether you really have as good the highlights and shadows as you thought you did in the previous dialog box back in the last exercise? Or whether in our case things are even better than we thought. So I am going to increase the Exposure so that I can see the shadows disappear and see exactly how much we have in a way of shadows and we've got perfect shadows look at those just disappear off there, and I might as well go ahead and zoom in on this image just so that we can really check it out in detail.
So I am not suggesting for a second that we leave this slider in this position, we are just using it to see where our shadows are. And you can see that things get pretty noisy in the darkest shadows there. But that's fairly to be expected by the way. All right, now let's go check out those highlights in the upper left corner of the image. As long as I've got my Navigator palette open, I am going to click in the upper left corner of that Navigator. I am also going to get myself a little more vertical room for this palette so I can move around a little more easily there. Here is the sky, right now it's very hot. Let's go ahead and move that Exposure value down. And yeah this looks pretty -- we are missing some highlights right in this location you can see that we are going from having white hot highlights there to the highlights now sort of disappearing into the light grays.
But we do have some banding right there so we have -- but essentially these light gray clouds in this case flattening out in this region right here. So there is not really any sculptural detail in this portion of the clouds. But we do have some nice gradients going after this point right there. So that's pretty good. I think things are working pretty well in our favor. If we have a little bit of hotness then we have a hotness, what can we do? All right, so that's just that's all about previewing the image, the HDR image here inside of Photoshop. In the next exercise we are going to start to correct the image so that we have some nice warm wonderful detail down here in the boat area so the boat is reasonable light and we still manage to retain this wonderful sky action up here in the upper left-hand portion of the image.

Frances Burney's third novel, Camilla: or, a Picture of Youth, was published in 1796. Fourteen years had elapsed since the appearance of her second novel Cecilia in 1782 and during that time her literary silence had been broken only once by the publication in 1793 of a charitable pamphlet entitled Brief Reflections Relative to the Emigrant French Clergy: Earnestly Submitted to the Humane Consideration of the Ladies of Great Britain. Burney's long silence is easily accounted for. Four years after the publication of Cecilia, the popular novelist had reluctantly accepted a post as Keeper of the Robes to Queen Charlotte in the court of George III. At court, as Burney described in her letters, virtually every …

Heartless Bastards
The Heartless Bastards
Sometimes, fateful inspiration can arrive under the most seemingly mundane circumstances. For Erika Wennerstrom, this moment occurred a lifetime ago as she killed time playing video trivia at a bar.
Question: "What is the name of Tom Petty's backing band?"
Easy, but as she scanned the multiple-choice answers to the question and saw the phrase "The Heartless Bastards," Wennerstrom instantly knew that she had found the right name for her next band. And though that particular answer may have been false, there is no denying that the band whose name it inspired now is riding a wave of creative expression, critical serenade, and a boundless musical future.
The Heartless Bastards' story starts in Dayton, Ohio, where Wennerstrom spent her youth. Dayton may not make the short list of the country's recognized musical hotbeds, but a brief accounting of musicians with ties to the city is eye-opening, and includes everyone from 70s funk masters the Ohio Players, to Pixies' bassist Kim Deal and her other band, The Breeders (which also included her twin sister, Kelley, and another Dayton native, drummer Jim MacPherson), to indie heroes Guided By Voices.
The city more famous for peace treaties and Wright Brothers flights also has a well-established musical culture.
"Dayton is a rock 'n' roll town," explains Wennerstrom. "It's a blue collar city, and people who work hard and have a long week want to let loose on the weekend."
As a songwriting teenager during a time when GBV and Brainiac were packing local bars and the three of the Breeders were still in town, Wennerstrom used to sneak into clubs to check out the scene.
"I would just see those people—my music heroes—hanging out at the bar like everyone else," she remembers. "I could see myself in them. It gave me inspiration to do my own thing."
Over the years, Wennerstrom developed a rich musical foundation, citing everyone from the Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, the Stooges, and Janis Joplin to the likes of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Mazzy Star and De La Soul as influences. She eventually decided to move to nearby Cincinnati to start a band that would use the name she had been saving from the aforementioned trivia game, and in 2003, formed Heartless Bastards.
After doing the usual business of playing local shows, the trio set out the following year on a regional tour. One of the first gigs of the trip took them to a bar in Akron, where Black Keys' drummer Patrick Carney just happened to be one of only a handful of people in the audience. This chance encounter led Wennerstrom and THB to Fat Possum Records, with whom they released their debut, Stairs and Elevators, in early 2005.
Critics took immediate notice, emphasizing the band's bare-fisted power and the stellar combination of Wennerstrom's heart-stopping voice, which could be described as a combination of PJ Harvey and Robert Plant, and her honest, life-based songs.
As for the inevitable, though inaccurate, descriptions of the Heartless Bastards as a "blues-rock band," Wennerstrom explains: "It's easy to assume the comparison, because Fat Possum has been thought of as a blues label, but they also have bands that are just influenced by blues, like us."
The band's second record, All This Time, was released during the summer of 2006 and has received even more widespread critical accolades than Stairs and Elevators, continuing the evolution of both the music and the audience.
The music has turned heads, ears, and put them on festival stages and starry bills with Wilco & Lucinda Williams to name a few. But, the band is still evolving with Wennerstrom's sonic vision. After years with the same basic power trio lineup, Erika made both a life and artistic change. In 2007 she moved to Austin, Texas for a change of inspirational scenery, a new recording project, and queso.
In true ascetic discipline, she arrived in a new town, rented a meager apartment, and wrote for six months. It is during this period she imagined the new record with expansive instrumentation, challenging lyrical and musical spaces, and an uninterrupted vision. With the help of producer Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Trail of Dead), she assembled a group of musicians with whom she gave the songs life and uncovered yet another layer of Wennerstrom and the Heartless Bastards.
But in a serendipitous alignment of stars, the two new Bastards aren't Texas ringers, but fellow Queen City brethren Dave Colvin on drums, and Jesse Ebaugh on bass, who actually played on the original demo that hooked Fat Possum. The reunion translates into magic live.
The CD, entitled "The Mountain", delivers the powerful howl that fans expect from THB, but also weaves in adventure with mandolins, banjos, strings, and Erika's transcendent voice.
"The Mountain" is due out in January 2009, and the core members of the Heartless Bastards, along with an assortment of other players, will begin touring in th

Wait a minute, wasn't Brad on the list last year?
By HitFix Staff Friday, Jun 11, 2010 5:30 AM
Pimping: "The Cape"
Why we want her: She's a regular after "Firefly," "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "Dollhouse." It wouldn't be the Con without her.
Chances: 90%. NBC would be silly not to have her on their panel.

Jessie Daniels: As the presidential politics begin to heat up, so do the racial politics in the Obama era, causing some white (supposedly) progressive writers to come somewhat unhinged.
Glenn Beck Is Not the Voice of America
Berry Craig: Beck will doubtless keep on spewing hate into his microphone. But he couldn't get elected dog catcher, and he knows it. I trust the citizens of Norway know it, too.
Glenn Beck's Attacks on Frances Fox Piven Trigger Death Threats
Peter Dreier: Glenn Beck has escalated his hate campaign against Frances Fox Piven, calling her one of the "nine most dangerous people in the world," and "an enemy of the Constitution."
What's with the Pipe, Glenn?
Steve Hochstadt: No historian would transform the evidence into the nasty claims about Soros, and the Baumbach family who saved him, that Beck broadcast to his 2.6 million FOX News viewers.
Manifest Destiny Revivalism
Sikivu Hutchinson: Glenn Beck's decision to hold the event on the March on Washington anniversary has elicited outrage amongst civil rights organizations who accuse him and the radical right of hijacking the legacy of the civil rights movement.
With Friends Like These, Who Needs Glenn Beck? Racism and White Privilege on the Liberal-Left
Tim Wise: How even liberals, progressives and leftists, despite our advocacy for equity and stated commitment to racial justice, still manage to manifest and further racism — whether deliberately or not — in our activism, messages and policy prescriptions.
Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance
Author Alexander Zaitchik sits down with Keith Olbermann to discuss his new book, "Common Nonsense, Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance". Zaitchik tells Olbermann that we shouldn't misinterpret Beck's recent dip in ratings to mean that he is losing popularity.

Historical Traveler Reviews Zephyr Mountain Lodge Winter Park
Convenient to lifts, ski slopes, rentals, restaurants.....
We stayed at the Zephyr Mtn. Lodge Christmas 2004. It was very convenient to everything we needed, ski rental, ski school, a few restaurants, but they were quite crowded. Still if you have a car with you, the drive into town was only 10 minutes and there were many restaurant and shopping choices there. The underground, heated garage was wonderful. Our condo was clean and large and quite homey and acceptible. The only problem I had was that we had booked and paid for a slope side view. One very small window did look out onto the bottom of the ski area, but an area of the building obscured most of our slope view. The other windows of the condo looked out on the parking lot. Not what we expected, but not trip destroying. There are two sections to the ZML -- Slopeside and Riverside. We stayed in the Slopeside and were pleased, but I think it was a bit more difficult getting to the lifts and then back to the condo at the end of the day than what Riverside would be. Slopeside had hot tubs that looked out on the lifts and slopes, while the Riverside hot tubs looked out on a parking lot. All in all the most convenient place to stay in relation to the lifts and such in Winter Park.
2 Good Weeks
We have just had 2 weeks skiing at the Zephyr Lodge.
Very convenient, very comfortable, Very relaxing.
Their 'on demand' bus sevice is first class. Enabling us to avoid car rental.
Helpful, efficient staff.
Our 1 bedroom Condo was well equipped, but slightly smaller than normal for North America. This wasn't a problem for us though.
The Zephyr Is Where You Want To Stay
I just stayed at the Zephyr Lodge for five nights. I thought that the lodge was perfect. Parking is indoors and you can drive right up to the elevators to unload your gear. The rooms have full kitchens with a microwave oven and dishwasher so, instead of eating out every night, you can go shopping at the local supermarket and save a fortune. You get a locker for your ski equipment, which is ten steps to the back door of the lodge, where you ski in and out. The room I was in had a queen size bed in a private bedroom and a foldout couch. My buddy was extremely comfortable on the couch. The room had two big TV's connected to an extensive cable network and the reception was fine. The bathroom was large and the water pressure was great. The room was stocked with everything you could need. It didn't hurt that the mountain was awesome. You can stay here with confidence.
Okay, but not great
Hotel room was average for a 2 bedroom lodge suite with the same floorplan that many timeshares use. (It may be a timeshare location or it may have been in the past because it has an owner closet that was not in use.) Space was adequate and the lodge was very conveniently located slope side for skiing. The negatives are that the thermostat in the room did not work so we had to keep windows open in order to not suffocate! In fact, we felt nauseous in the room when the window was not open -- I doubt there was a CO problem since it was electric heat, but don't know for sure.
There were only 2 elevators and many of the guests would hog the elevators taking their stuff in and out to their cars. Elevators were a problem and I heard a lot of grumbling in general from everyone there about the slow elevators and the problem with guests bringing large amounts of equipment, groceries, etc in and out. They do provide lockers for equipment on the first floor and we used these, but for some reason many of the guests would take the stuff to their rooms causing congestion on the elevators.
Check in was a very slow process with many missing reservations. Check out was not speedy either. The staff is generally friendly and helpful; it appears that they don't have a very good process to follow though or it could be the systems they are given to work with.
There is no restaurant in the lodge, but a new one opened up next door while we were there. It was okay, but again, nothing special.
Many of the beginner slopes at WinterPark are over crowded and ski classes for children are too large for safety. There were 12 children in my sons beginner snow board class and when I commented on it, I was told that in the Spring the class size will increase to 15 or 16. Apparently the resort owners, Intrawest, think this is an acceptable model and use it across their resorts.
Home James is commonly used to transport visitors to and from the airport. Not a bad service as long as you don't mind sitting very close to your traveling companions for the 2 hour drive. They describe the vans as 15 passenger, but you would be very unfortunate if you ended up in one with that many people at one time. Thirteen was pretty crowded. The driver had picked up an alcoholic on our return trip, who made the trip even more uncomfortable. When I asked the driver about the company policy for drunks (this guy actually pulled out his bottle of Vodka and startilng drinking it straight while in the van), he said that they commonly provide driving services for people who are drinking. Next time, we will find another means to get to and from the airport.
Would stay here again
We stayed here on our way through the mountains. The hotel itself was even nicer than we expected. Our room included a kitchen, living room, 2 TVs, gas fireplace, balcony and more for a very reasonable rate. We were only there for one night and the city of Winter Park was extremely quiet. All of shops and restaurants were closed in the hotel.... try Fontenots down the street. They had "summer" activities advertised but we didn't see many people out and about. I would definitely stay here again.
Spectacular view of the slopes
My family and I had stayed at another hotel the first 5 nights in Winter Park. The last couple of nights we stayed at The Zephyr. The previous hotel was nice but did not even compare to the space or convenicence at the Zephyr. This condo had all the conveniences of home, a kitchen (complete with dishwasher, refrigerator, cookware, dishes, etc.) a living area, an actual bedroom and a balcony with the most spectacular view of the mountains. This is the perfect place to stay if you will be skiing. The slopes are just out your back door. The one negative is that when they said our check in time was at 4:00 p.m. It wasn't ready a moment sooner. Of course this was during spring break. (An unbelievably busy time) This was just a slight inconvenience when we saw the room or should I say rooms. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Winter Park. Our family highly recommends The Zephyr!! Carol-Okla.
Zephyr Lodge is nice
The zephyr resort at the base of Winter Park is nice and convenient. It is nice and quite at night and we enjoyed watching the snowcats groom the slopes from our balcony.
This past winter I had the pleasure of spending a week at Zephyr Mountain Lodge. There is no place like it in Winter Park. My room was amazingly comfortable (an oversized 1 bdrm with a king size bed). When my wife didn't want to ski one day, she was able to read next to the wonderful fireplace in the living room. From the couch, she could look right up the ski slope (I was able to waive to her from the slope). At the end of each day, I sat on the balcony, drank a beer, and watched people ski down the slope. Then I hit the hot tub. Definitely a five star establishment and a wonderful place to take a vacation!!
Fire alarm went off in the nite-no one helped us
Zephyr Mtn Lodge condos are beautiful accomodations and at a great price for the off season. However, the fire alarm went off at 12:30 at night and the front desk clerk would not tell us what was going on. He was looking in a phone book trying to find someone to call. After 3 attempts to talk to him he finally told us that he was on the phone with the maintenance manager as he was trying to reset the system. He did not call the fire dept...and this building is right next to a beautiful Colorado forest. He was ill equipped to handle this. The guest directory indicated that in the case of an alarm an announcement would be made over the room intercom...no such luck. Also, the next morning the desk manager was reluctant to answer our questions or to assure us that in the future training would be provided for staff. She did tell us that we should have evacuated (which we did) and that the fire department should have been called (which did not happen).
Fantastic and Convenient
I have stayed at Zephyr Mountain three times now, all in different condo's. The units are always clean and since it is fairly new, most of the beds and furniture are clean and comfy. The staff is pleasant and accomodating. THe shuttle service they provide to town is so much more convenient and APPEALING than taking the BIG BLUE BUSES! The ski in ski out is great, the outdoor hot tubs...guess i just cant say enough!

By the time we got to Estes Park, at the entrance to the park, it was pretty late so we finished the day off with dinner out. How Olav can eat elk burgers after seeming them for real, I don't know!

The fist thing I noticed was how hard I was breathing. I remembered back to the warnings on the hikes into the grand canyon and the issues with altitude if you weren't use to it. The grand canyon rim was 6000ft, I was higher then that here. I could definitely feel the effects of the thin ...

We would watch a thunderstrom raging off in the distance and not actually get any rain for a couple of hours. not so many buffalo to see here, or animals whatsoever.

How to speed up windows 8 quick guide
Ok guys if you are like me, one of those guys that does not like (or want) to change OS just because a new update of windows is available, then this guide is for you.
Windows 10 has been out there for awhile now, but upgrading not always means better performance as it is the case with Windows, take for example this past version that had to deal with numerous bugs, back in the early days when Windows 8 was just released i did not know what to expect, i was so comfortable with my Windows seven that changing seemed at that time unnecessary, and let's not talk about the epic Windows xp, i just died when they announced that support for this operating system will no longer be available, they just want to force any new version of whatever comes into place, but let's put away the rant for a minute and let's get down to business.

IT SEEMED that yesterday would be the end to the racketeering retrial of reputed Philly mob boss Joseph Ligambi and his nephew George Borgesi.
Jurors were working diligently, and the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend was approaching.
But then word filtered into the courtroom hallway about 11 a.m. that the panel of 11 women and one man were unanimous on two counts, hung on the rest.
Relatives of Ligambi, 74, and onetime Philly mob consigliere Borgesi, 50, seemed nervous while waiting in the courtroom.

Butler man charged in Forest County double homicide
TIONESTA -- Authorities charged a Butler man Saturday afternoon with criminal homicide in the stabbing deaths of a man and woman at a Forest County home earlier that morning.
State police at Marienville charged Scott A. Black, 38, with two counts of criminal homicide. Black was arraigned before Forest County District Judge George Gregory and placed in Warren County Jail without bond.
Forest County Corner Norman J. Wimer said Marcelle I. Edwards, 42, was found dead inside her home at 229 Holli Acre Road in Tionesta shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday, and Donald L. Shay, 43, of Leechburg, was found dead outside the home. Both appeared to have died from multiple stab wounds, Wimer said.
Wimer said there appeared to be an ongoing dispute between the two victims and Black, whom authorities said was Edwards' ex-boyfriend.
An autopsy is scheduled for both victims today.

Best Places to Visit in the UK
In almost every town and city in United Kingdom, you can easily find a rich sense of history or a range of different things to see and do, whether by yourself or with loved ones.
For those seeking the hustle and bustle, London is unmissable, and even has plenty to offer the kids – no surprise considering how large the capital city is. For a quieter pace, an area like Bath is without equal as the beautiful architecture, including the Roman Baths and various galleries and museums, offer a sense of tranquility unmatched by many areas. If Bath isn't quite estranged enough from the hectic pace of a modern lifestyle, the Cotswolds offer an atmosphere unlike any other, as if you've stepped into another century. You can easily find peace of mind in the region as you enjoy its many museums and festivals.
The people of the United Kingdom also make it one of the most intriguing regions to visit as from Edinburgh to the Isle of Wight and everywhere in between, locals have changing dialects and mannerisms, meaning one city is completely different to the next. Other places in the UK that cannot be missed include Devon, Lake District, Cornwall, and Brighton.
Best Hotels in the UK
They say a holiday isn't quite a holiday unless you're able to unwind, so one of the simplest ways of doing that is to find yourself a nice, tranquil hotel – you might want to avoid the beaten path and choose something other than a Premier Inn or Travelodge to really relax in luxury. It's no surprise that London has a lot of acclaimed hotels, such as the Corinthia, The Goring, and Rosewood, but there are still many fantastic hotels in other regions that have more their fair share of fans. In Cornwall you have the likes of Falmouth Town House and Gurnard's Head, whereas in the Lake District there is the Coledale Inn and in the Cotswolds, there's even the opportunity to stay the night in a refurbished Post Office! What's better still is that all of those hotels start from under £100pp, perfect for those looking for quality without breaking the bank. Maybe you are on a budget – be sure to check out the guide here
Best Holiday Parks in Wales
As one of the most popular destinations for holidaymakers to the UK, it's a safe bet that Wales has more than enough holiday parks to suit people of all budgets and tastes. We've been around long enough to know the ones to avoid and those that you have to pitch up at as soon as you can. Brynteg in Anglesey has all of the comforts you could need and the facilities to make it one of the best available. There's also Ogwen Bank, beautifully situated near the iconic river of the same name and for those looking for something in the south of the country, Cardigan Bay Holiday Park has had stellar reviews for a good reason. Other holiday parks worth mentioning include, Morfa Lodge, Golden Sands, Ty Mawr, Trecco Bay, Bluestone and Tan Y Bryn Caravan Park. If you're still undecided, My Passport 2 Europe have a broad selection of researched holiday parks for you to browse through.
Best Boat Rides
We have been fortunate enough to experience some absolute exhilarating boat rides and amazing fishing trips courtesy of Deep sea fishing gold coast during our time spent in Europe and the rest of the world. Our most memorable was a trip from MacDonald's Turkey Point Marina in Canada. Stunning scenery, amazing weather and an extremely friendly crew made this a day we will never forget. For further information visit the official website.
Budget Hotels in the UK
If you're thinking of holidaymaking with your family, the last thing you want do is spend money that you don't have to on a hotel. That's why it's important to do your research on places to stay prior to everyone jumping in the car and setting off – exactly what we here at My Passport 2 Europe aim to help you with. We know that areas like London might be on the pricey side for whole families, but we also know the road less travelled provides gorgeous, boutique hotels that won't leave an impression on your wallet. Chain hotels like Premier Inn are typically a safe bet with the one in London County Hall going as low as £29pp! Travelodge might have them beaten for value, however, as their locations in Scarborough, Redditch, and London Covent Garden are only £19pp. Looking for somewhere in particular? We have you covered, be sure to browse our website today to find just what you need.
Best Family Attractions in the UK
Families from all over the world flock to the UK on their holidays as it's one of the most accessible places for people of all ages. Even Brits themselves don't know all of the hidden and amazing attractions for kids and adults alike. The big cities always offer shows and productions, but for a breath of fresh air and something out of the ordinary, it's always best to stray slightly further afield. The underground trampolines in North Wales, theme parks like Chessington and Alton Towers, iconic landmarks such as Stonehenge and many other fun-filled activities and locations are never too far when you take a holiday to the United Kingdom. If you are staying in the big cities, there's a fine selection of different museums and galleries for people of all ages. Looking for an excuse to lighten your wallet, too? London, Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburgh are famous for being perfect shopping destinations, so if you're trying to spoil yourself and the kids, you will have plenty of opportunities during your travels.
There's no denying that travelling can sometimes be a stressful exercise as you try to find the perfect location and please everyone in the family, so be sure to relieve some of that stress by browsing My Passport 2 Europe for all the information and advice you could need.

"I loved the way my holiday cards turned out! I used my childs photo with santa. I used the edit tool to give it a vintage look. It came out stunning! So happy! Thank you!"
"Very good quality printing and paper. Card was very thick and the pictures were crystal clear . I would definitely recommend to a friend!"
"This card was so perfect! We used a black and white photo of our baby wearing a Santa hat and made just the hat red and left everything else b&w. Could not be happier! Customer service was so helpful-the website was down and they extended a promotion until it was up and running again. Someone called us back to answer our questions at 9:30 on a Sunday night. Just all around awesome!"
"Love the whole process of choosing the design, ordering, and seeing the end result come in its signature blue box! Great company, great products. Worth the money spent."
"This is the first time we've used Tiny Prints, but it's not the last. Love the design and the ease of adding our family photos. Everyone has said that this is the best looking card they'd received this year. I also loved the next day delivery. Although it was not expected, it was much appreciated!"

PITTSBURGH - After his players had filed off the field, after the opponents' jubilant celebration had subsided, Charlie Manuel remained. For several moments, the Phillies manager stood by the steps of the visiting dugout at PNC Park, his arms draped over the fence, his face wearing the blank expression of a man trying to process reality.
Last night, the Phillies' reality was this: victory snatched from the jaws of defeat and then sent right back to its final resting place courtesy of a two-run walkoff homer from hero-turned-goat-turned-hero Andrew McCutchen off beleaguered closer Brad Lidge.
"We've got to stay with him, he's got to keep going," Manuel said of Lidge. "What the hell? That's all we can do. We'll come out and play tomorrow. We'll come out and win tomorrow's game."

Pros: Displays image from computer nicely if you sit directly in front of the screen.
Cons: On my desk I have two of these monitors. One has a mfg date of July 2012, one has a mfg date of Dec 2013. The one from July 2012 is a great monitor with a beautiful IPS panel with virtually ZERO color shift. The one from DEC 2013 claims to have an IPS panel, but has a significant amount of color shift, and side by side it looks like a low quality TN panel. I do not advise purchasing this monitor if you are looking for the benefits of an IPS panel.
Other Thoughts: Very unhappy with the change in their panels in this unit. For an IPS monitor, this degree of color shift is not acceptable to me.READ FULL REVIEW

Over the years, the Purdue Boilermakers and Ohio State Buckeyes have had a long and memorable rivalry on the basketball court. In fact, these two programs couldn't be much closer historically: Purdue leads the all-time series after last week's victory by the thinnest of margins, 82-81.
The toughness and determination both squads have exhibited throughout the decades is personified in their current leaders, Ohio State's Player of the Year candidate Evan Turner and Purdue's veteran defensive stopper Chris Kramer.
With Turner providing the bulk of his team's offense (as both the point guard and the leading scorer) and Kramer often drawing the responsibility of trying to slow the talented junior down, these athletes have had their share of hardwood encounters over the past few seasons.
And with the Big Ten Tournament still to come, it's possible Kramer and Turner could face off one more time...with the bulletin-board quote of the year hanging over the game.
What was that? You missed it? You haven't heard THE quote? You mean you don't have a Twitter account yet?
Well, let me explain.
First, a history lesson...as we look back at the teams' meetings the past couple of seasons (since Turner has really come into his own)...and then a short analysis of how the Kramer-Turner (and Purdue-Ohio State) rivalry crossed over from hardwood to cyberspace.

Gary Allan on new songs, vocal surgery
When I talked to Gary Allan earlier this week, we covered more ground than was able to fit in the full feature that appears here on Tap Milwaukee. Here is more of the conversation we shared as he waited to make a Monday night appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." (Click here to watch his spot on the show.)
As Allan prepares to visit The Rave tonight, he discussed why he thought "Tough Goodbye," the lead song (co-written by Cedarburg native Josh Thompson) from his Billboard chart-topping new album, "Set You Free," would be the first single. He also talked about how a vocal cord operation that he underwent just before recording the album has made him feel like a whole new singer, and his approach to Nashville after spending his early years (starting at 12 years old) playing honky tonks and clubs in California's Bakersfield-inspired country music scene. »Read Full Blog Post

Which sport is better for burning calories?Suppose you train as an armatuer twice a week for boxing at the local gym vs practicing basketball twice a week for the same amount of time as boxing.

I played basketball competitvely my whole life and i was in top shape when i walked into a boxing gym a couple of days after the season ended. I was out of shape by boxing standards. Boxing is more intense and you will get leaner faster by boxing. Basketball helps your foot work and lateral movement though

for basketball you need some other muscle groups and different intense on each group then on boxing. when you played your whole life basketball it is pretty clear that you won't have the same stamina, because you use muscles that you dont use so often. these "not trained" muscles take more oxygen.

I've played basketball and I've boxed. Both are great sports, and both burn lots of calories and will get you in good shape. Boxing wins, tho. Hands downs.
And boxing is not a team sport so you can't let your team mates take care of things for you when you think you need a break. Everything depends on how good shape YOU are in.

2 metaphors in chapter 2
1 Answer | Add Yours
This is the chapter where the boys decide they need to build a fire on the mountain so that they can capture the attention of any ships that might be passing by them. There are several metaphors that refer to the fire, flames and logs that they use to make the fire. For example: "smoke on the mountain" and "platform of forest" and "the grotesque dead thing" and "breeze was a river of sparks" and "beard of flame" and "tree of sparks" - all of these apply to the fire or the materials that they use to create the fire. There are other non-fire related metaphors, but these stand out. Earlier, the little boy that is afraid of the "beastie" is referred to as "a shrimp of a boy" and later in the chapter there is "the sun in the west was a drop of buring gold". If you read on towards the end of this chapter, you will see additional fire metaphors - there is a simile that compares the fire to a "squirrel" but then afterwards, this image is intensified with additional "squirrel" metaphors that compare the smoke from the fire to a squirrel.

Began seeing this behavior about two months after purchase and a month after putting into service. Do not believe this is a Windows/software issue since after it shuts down the first time, it will shut down again before Windows even starts to load. No stop error codes (BSOD) in the event logs and no memory dump files get created. Only entry in the event log is unexpected shutdown. Also randomly turns on after it shuts down. Doesn't matter whether or not the battery is installed. Opened a case with Toshiba support, but all they wanted me to do was reset image to factory default. They didn't even listen to me explain that it does it regardless of whether or not Windows is running.

The fact that all the bugcheck parameters are 0 indicates a hardware or driver issue. Drivers are all at the latest revsion as well as the BIOS.
Another user recently reported a BSOD, but other than that the symptoms appear similar. I would think that you are having a driver conflict....one of the drivers are not fully windows 7 compatible. Try disabling the drivers either one at a time...or ALL of them...and re-enabling them one at a time to isolate which one is causing the problem.
Well, Toshiba support is looking more like a scam than actual support. Called them and convinced them I had a hardware issue and sent it in to the Repair Depot. Upon recieving the laptop, got this email:
Hi Dwayne Willingham
During the Diagnostic procedure our technicians found that your unit's SOFTWARE is corrupted. Unfortunately Toshiba does not cover the cost for replacement or fixes of software and as such we will have to charge you for labor cost $25. Please inform me on how to proceed, if you choose to go ahead authorize the repairs we will need your billing information (Credit Card Number, Expiration date and cardholder name).
To provide your billing information please call me at the number below, or let me know when would be a good time to reach you.
Please respond to the following email Gabriel Belmonte [email@example.com] or call the number below ( Gabriel Belmonte) with in 3 business days otherwise we have to ship back unrepaired.
*** California Customer will incur California sales tax on parts charge
Technical Support
Really? The last thing I did was reset the BIOS settings to factory defaults and restore the factory system image! The "software" is not corrupt.
I can see this is going to be a long, painful and unproductive experience. Who do I talk to about getting a refund?
03-09-2012 04:14 PM - edited 03-09-2012 04:24 PM
Got the laptop back from the Repair Depot, let it charge for a couple of hours, turned it on and about 3 minutes later: shut down! They replaced the memory and reloaded the OS. Trying to decide whether to even bother sending it back.
Watch the video: http://youtu.be/FLr0Pl-DBgM
I am having the same problem. The computer will reboot automatically, and it is difficult to get it to boot up again. This is not a software problem. I had it happen when I was in the BIOS screen just to test it. The computer started and the Toshiba splash screen was displayed. I pressed F2 to go to the BIOS screen. While it was in the BIOS setup, I wiggled the power cord at the computer and it shut off. It's either the cord or the power connection inside of the computer. Bad design. Now I have to figure out how to get it fixed or replaced..
Hello Dwayne...wondering if you ever got any kind of formidable help from Toshiba? I am having the same trouble as you.
Here's what I just had to post:
Received this computer Mar.17th, 2012 and that same day, laptop just shut down. Thought at first it was a fluke, maybe I hit/did something. I tried to restart, it seem to start normal then-nope-shut down. All lights were off, I hit enter button and it restarted??? Finally, after 5 tries, got it into safe mode, all was ok, restarted it and it was fine.
Didn't happen again for few days. Didn't matter if I was on it for hours or not. I called tech support. That guy got control of my computer and put the power options till "always on". (btw,I could have done that-all you had to do was ask). Wasn't on the computer for couple of days, then used it 3 days and again, same trouble.
I ran tests, looked for trouble with drivers/software. Trouble is, I didn't install anything that would have done that and definitely did NOT need any kind of driver installation.
So, back to tech support. and like so many out there, tech reads on from page 2, FORMAT. One guy wanted me to do a system restore. I asked, restore it back to the day I got it? Yes he said. HELLO. IT DID THIS THE DAY I GOT IT.
So, now were on to sending the laptop out-I think it has something to do with the hard drive itself or what it connects into, since right before it shuts down, I hear a click then it goes off.
I didn't buy a new computer only to have it sent away for 2+ weeks. I asked for someone local, an authorized dealer, oh, yes Paul the case manager told me I could do that but it will cost me!!!
So, we are now preparing to return said laptop, and go back to Dell, like I always have done. Shame on me for thinking Toshiba was for customer service/satisfaction.
What Toshiba doesn't know is that I help my job and family members/friend with their decisions in computer buying and software. Dell has NEVER failed me! This w/b the first of my many "public service messages"
Good luck to all you Toshiba buyers.
Donna Hays
Thanks Dwayne. I don't think I'm going to bother tho. What a shame, the so called "tech" support is such a waste of time! I know all the stupid things they want you to try and because I can probably bet, that the majority of them have NO computer knowledge at all-they type a few "key" words into their database instead of KNOWING. ugh. disgusted. I'm not kidding when I said that Dell has never failed me! We put a computer for our local firehouse and when I couldn't connect to the internet, I had tested to see if it was the card, it was, they had a local computer tech come out and replace! I don't need to be heading down to my post office, wait, wait, wait, ship back. Forget it! I AM THE CUSTOMER-PLEASE ME!
Lesson learned. I am glad it worked out for you. I hope it lasts!
Hey! I am having the EXACT same problem. What exactly did they replace? The word strip there is confusing me. You mean just the power button right?
It's the whole row of buttons which includes the power button.
Thanks! Let's see if that sorts out the issue. Even I am pretty certain it's a hardware fault.
I had this problem and sent it in for repair. They replaced my logic board, mother board, and HD although the HD was a seperate issue. Now I'm sending it back in because I have artifacts on my screen. However it no longer shuts down and boots up randomly like before.
Hi Dwayne,
I started having the same problem about two weeks ago. It just randomly shuts down. I bought my Toshiba at Costo, so I may call their concierge service first to see what they suggest. I'll tell them that it seems to be a problem other users have had. Do you think it's worth the effort to call Toshiba and ask for a warranty repair. I bought this laptop within the last year. Bought my wife a Dell at Costco about 3 months ago with no problems. I may have to ask for a refund and then get a Dell instead. My other Toshiba laptop lasted for years without any problems.
I have same issue on my toshiba p755-s5269 like you said this problem is caused by the membrane power switch button (very poor quality). it's a common defaut on toshiba satellite. i will never buy a toshiba again.
Hey guys - I am posting here because my issue seems similar. P755-5269
My issue is happening when my battery is about to go dead (or does go completely dead) and then I plug in the AC power; then the system heats up the battery to super, super hot and it will keep on randomly hard powering off over and over no matter how many times you try rebooting. The only way I have found to keep the system on is to remove the battery while the system is on and powered by AC and then reboot it, then once the battery cools off, place the battery back into the system; then it seems to finally power up the battery without over heating and hard powering down.
As you can read; this process is a serious pain in the arse if you are a laptop user on the go. I tryed bios update, chipset update, virus / malware scan, switching out to a different battery and nothing seems to work. The system seems to do fine if I never let the battery get too low or never run the battery all the way down; but if and when I do, it is a nightmare cycle of tricking it into not overheating the battery and subsequently hard powering the machine.
I hope one of you guys may have a suggestion for something that I may have missed and shy of trying a full factory recovery or pooring water on it (which I am frankly not far from doing).
Toshiba P-755 S5395 is worthless in my experiences. This laptop (core I-7) (high $)—shuts down on start up. Numerous complaints to the support site, but will not honor warranty because it was purchased at Walmart.com, which is probably flooded with excess manufacturer's junk….
Only if lives are at stake will a company issue a product recall, such as GM....bottom line is $$$$$....
You might try searching the web for a replacement power button for this model. I've enjoyed mine other than the Toshiba support scam.
