Awakening Kingdoms
What's Not To Love About Awakening?
Admittedly I am the number one fan of the Awakening series, so naturally I was super excited to be able to play a never ending game. Queen Sophia has left me in charge of the Kingdom, presumably because of my fan status lol! Basically you are given quests, you accept them and get rewarded with money, or resources. When you upgrade buildings you have to wait or pay with elusive crystals to speed up the process. The Hidden object scenes are easy but fun and you do have to re-visit the scenes 5 times each. There are a bunch of things you have to do in between and it does tend to make the game a bit confusing. At this point in the game I cannot go to a HOS because my energy is low and the store is locked with every energy source so after this review I need to figure that predicament out. If I had any complaints there would only be two, the fact that you have to find the same items over and over and a hint button to tell me what to do now would be nice!

One of the Best FTP Games Out There!
This is an amazing FTP game based on one of our all time favorite HO game series. It was created by the same folks that created Antique Road Trip: American Dreamin', BoomZap. If you are a fan of that FTP game, then you will adore this one. This game has none of the awful glitches that have plagued American Dreamin. I have been playing this as a sneak peak for a week or so and am at level 25 now. It is so much fun. I hope you enjoy as much as I have. I have spent a few real dollars on this game because I have been enjoying myself so much. You don't have to spend anything at all, but it does make leveling easier if you can afford to do so.

what a beautiful game!
Thought it's new game game from the famous Awakening series, but have been surprised - it's a new free hidden object game on Big fish games.
Because I love this series I've desided to try, but I'm not a fan of this kind of free games. And this is the defenitely the best free hidden object game so far.
Actually the game mechanic is absolutely similar to others, same objects, same puzzles, on the middle level of challenge, they are OK, some are really fun, but the art style is on the high level, this is buy me :-) Gorgeous fantasy world!
As for the story, all is clear-you can help to repair destroyed kingdom. There a lot of different puzzles and mini-games and, of-course, hidden object. Good game for play time-to time.

Nostalgia for the Awakening fan!
If you like the Awakening game series, then I strongly suggest you give this a try. It's complete nostalgia for anyone who's followed Sophia's journey from the Dreamless Castle to Moonfell Wood to Goblin Kingdom to Skyward Castle and to Sunhook Spire. It revisits locations from all these games, bringing back familiar characters, and using the same gorgeous music and scenery.
However, Sophia isn't present in this game -- instead you get to see the day-to-day lives of the citizens, which makes you feel like you're living in the kingdom! I love the variety of mini-games, which were borrowed from the previous Awakenings - such as Tangram, Glass jigsaws, and Picross, plus an adorable animal quick-find game which was new to me. The mini-games are a fast way to earn experience points, so I use them for leveling up quickly rather than buying energy.
I heard that Boomzap is continuing to develop the HOPA series with Sophia in it -- and the story there will be completely separate from this one. So you won't be missing out on Sophia's story if you skip Kingdoms. But if you consider yourself a true Awakening fan, at least give the developers a chance and try out what they made. To me, it serves as a very pleasant distraction, and a relaxing way to bide my time while waiting for the next Awakening HOPA.
I was very critical of the Free-to-Play model as well, but after trying it out, I realized it's not really the money-grabbing scheme that others are labeling it to be. Sure, it's only free-to-play for the first few levels, and then after that, you have to wait-to-play. But why rush through it? It's actually healthy that this type of game forces us to take breaks. And besides, I don't want to get to the end yet. :)

Good But Slow
I have other of the Awakening Series, and I liked them really well for the most part. This one has a lot going for it:
- It is huge. I frequently finish most of these types of games in 5 - 6 hours of play, so it was fun to find one that I can play for a LONG time.
- The graphics and music are excellent. Items are easy to identify, although you end up playing each HOP location multiple, multiple times. Makes it a lot faster, but gets boring too.
- It has an interesting story line that morphs as you play so that is good too.
- Resources refill even when the game is off. If you close the game down at night, it will be playable again in the morning.
What I DON'T like about the game:
- I just have a general issue with paying real cash for play coins. I wanted to play for a contiguous amount of time, but kept running out of energy to work on the quests, and the only way to get money was to do the quests. So I would buy more food items to get more energy and then I would run out of money which prevented me from upgrading buildings. Darn. I discovered that collections could be exchanged and some of them for a good deal of money, so that helps offset some of it.
Overall it is a beautiful, fun game. I don't mind the continuous quests - they remind me of Wandering Willows in that you solve one thing and another 1 - 2 pop up. The key is to remember that you don't have to do all of them at once. And once I discovered that the energy bar refills even when the game is off, it became more fun. I just play a while and then let it set for several hours - kind of like the Virtual Villagers games. I would recommend this to anyone that wants an easy game that is casually played

A great game full of possibilities! Giving F2P a chance :)
This game is rich with beautiful artwork and hidden object scenes. Players and non-players of previous Awakening series will enjoy this. The music is so relaxing and lets you immerse in the fantasy world! The quests are abundant and make sense. The characters are enjoyable and the additional minigames in quests are a nice touch!
I saw some reviews that hated it because they thought it was another PC HOPA version of Awakening but please keep in mind this is a F2P genre of Awakening and you are NOT required to pay for this game. It's completely optional! I enjoy games like these because I can check it from time to time and relax.
So I'd say give it a chance and you'll see it's a good and really decent game more than others I've played :)

Awakening Kingdoms!
one of the first free to play games i have played, the graphics are very well done, the game play is easy to understand and the puzzles are amazing! the story is very very interesting! over all its a really cool game!
December 16, 2013
Great Free Game
This game is great, there are many quests to keep you busy. I also like that after each level up your energy bar increases so you will be able to do more each time. The HOGS are very simple but I find the challenge is in the quests vs the HOG. Very cute game!
December 18, 2013
Wow! Just really amazing!
I have to say, that this ranks right up there with My Singing Monsters as far as excellent quality and gameplay goes. The storyline is compelling. Princess Sophia leaves you in charge of the kingdom while she chases after her nemesis. The world is really expansive, So vast that I wanted to see more. The hidden object scenes were challenging. I love the Squabble pet :) as a hint finder. The music is very well done, giving the whole game an RPG feel to it. (and I love RPGs). I guess you could call this Awakening Online. This is the first game besides MSM that kept me glued to my computer, So I will be playing this game quite a bit. :) I can't wait to see what other regions and HO scenes there are and if any more can be added in the future.
Just a quick note: People, you don't "BUY" this game, it's a FREE DOWNLOAD. You only "buy into" the game for getting store items such as Crystals, etc. to help speed up things.
December 18, 2013
Amazing Game!!
I wasn't really a fan of this type of game genre before, that is, until i played this game!! Awesome Graphics and Storyline!! Good job to the designers and creators of this Game really!! The game just draws you in and you are taken into a magical place!! I highly recommend this game to everyone young and old!!!

Concussion expert says Jay Cutler likely will need 7 to 10 days to heal
BY MARK POTASH email@example.com November 12, 2012 10:57PM
Jay Cutler
Updated: December 14, 2012 6:25AM
Bears coach Lovie Smith confirmed Jay Cutler likely suffered a concussion when Houston Texans linebacker Tim Dobbins drilled him in the facemask and knocked him to the ground in the
second quarter Sunday night.
So why did Cutler take seven more snaps before
being taken out of the game at halftime?
''It is a little troublesome that he stayed in for seven more plays,'' said Dr. Jeffery Mjaanes, the director of the Chicago Sports Concussion Clinic at Rush Medical Center. ''Seven plays is kind of a long time.''
Then again . . .
''Most people might get in that situation and say, 'Give me a minute, maybe things will clear up,' '' Mjaanes said. ''And the symptoms may not be apparent right away. Sometimes concussions can develop over several hours.
''It's really possible that at the beginning he didn't feel too much was wrong. The good news is he did come out eventually. I think the Bears did the right thing by evaluating him early and then keeping him out. And they're doing the right thing by allowing him to rest and get better.''
If the Bears are as diligent about going ''beyond protocol'' as Smith says they are regarding Cutler's latest
injury — ''If we err, it would be as far as keeping players out longer,'' he said — it's
unlikely Cutler will play on the road Monday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Though Smith reported Cutler was feeling better by the end of the game and feeling ''a lot better'' Monday, the strict regimen of the ''return-to-play protocol'' the NFL updated and re-emphasized in 2009 makes Cutler's return against the 49ers an almost inherent risk. Accor-
ding to Mjaanes, most concucssions take seven to 10 days to heal.
''Part of the issue is that we need all of his symptoms to go away,'' said Mjaanes, who is a physician for sports teams ranging from Simeon to De Paul to U.S. Soccer.
''Let's say his symptoms resolve next Saturday. He still needs to kind of go through a couple of days of a process to make sure that he develops no symptoms with mild exercise. It's not like your symptoms go away and you can go back the next day. There's a whole protocol in place that is set up to make sure that he is fine at rest but also fine with exercise before he can go into a game.''
Given the protocol, Cutler's history of struggling
after injuries of any kind and the obvious work backup
Jason Campbell needs with the first-team offense in
case he has to start, it would seem prudent for the Bears to give Cutler a week to rest instead of subjecting him to a 49ers defense that has 12 quarterback hits in its last two games.
Considering Cutler's
recent injury history — this is the fourth time in his last 20 starts he has been hurt in a game — it probably would be beneficial for Campbell to prepare for and start against
a playoff-caliber team on
the road.
Smith, though, said ''you can't doom and gloom'' and anticipate the next time Cutler will get hurt.
''You have to get the guys ready that will give you the best chance, and that's going to be the starter,'' Smith said. ''If we could look into the
future, then maybe you would [give the backup more first-team preparation]. But that's just not how it's done.''
Reality, though, is having
its say in the matter and can't be ignored forever: Cutler was on the sidelines at the end of the 2010 and 2011 seasons, and he has suffered his second injury of the 2012 season seven weeks before the playoffs begin.
The injury to Cutler
obscured the other big issue
facing the Bears entering
their game against the 49ers: Even when he was healthy, Cutler wasn't very good Sunday against the Texans. His passer rating was a season-low 16.7.
''It's one of the best teams in the NFL we played against,'' Smith said. ''We'll just keep working on it. That's all I can say. Eventually, it will come.''
That's offensive coordinator Mike Tice's problem,
anyway. But managing the quarterback situation is Smith's job. Who knows how much is riding on his ability to handle it?

And more nonsense is about to hit the game Down Under,a lot of top players saying they want the extra money in the salary cap to be mainly given to them!! Jonathan Thurston`s been to see the Broncos for when his contract at the Cowboys expires at the end of next season,but they`ve told him to sling his greedy hook,so no doubt he`ll be knocking on the door at the Doggies next to see if they`ll have him back. Of course the players` agents are the instigators of a lot this ######,talk about parasites sucking the life blood out of the game,but I suppose everybody else around the world is doing it,so they might as well.
In the meantime,us mere mortals will have to keep on keeping on,working week to week in order to survive and somehow I think we`re all being taken for a ride.

Who cares what he does, in the end ya just gotta do what makes ya happy. He is only a young man with a limited amount of time as an athlete. If he can earn the type of cash some of us can only dream of, then i think good on him. He will set himself up for life and travel to places alot of people will never get to see. League officials need to get there head out of the sand and give our stars the chance to maximise there earning potential, making it more appealing and financially rewarding to play league.

Israel Folau has committed the ultimate act of betrayal after turning his back on the NRL club that helped secure his release from the AFL to switch codes - again - and play rugby union.
I guess it's $BW & I$rael Fo£au
Posted 02 December 2012 - 06:21 PM
Some revealing words coming out of Eels about Folau :
Parramatta coach Ricky Stuart spoke for the first time on Saturday about Folau's decision to back-flip on the deal.
Folau telephoned Stuart back in September to outline how miserable he was playing AFL with the GWS Giants and explain why he wanted to return to rugby league.
The former Queensland State of Origin and Test centre even went so far as to suggest his return to the NRL wasn't entirely driven by money, but a desire to play alongside his mates like Jarryd Hayne and Tim Mannah.
Stuart is now questioning Folau's ethics after the developments of the past 48 hours.
"I'd rather know today about the dishonorable (aussie spelling) characteristics of Israel than pay him all the money that we tried to secure over the past eight weeks, then find out about the way he operates," Stuart said.

Yep,he`s off to ra ra with the Waratahs,so he`s gone from one dopey game to another. Still,he`ll be on good money for standing on the wing with his finger up his backside,so good on him for that. Wish I could get the same for doing nowt!
He's actually only on about $250K for the season which isn't as good as he would have commanded 2 years ago.

The RL journos in Sydney have come out looking like punch of c*&t$ in this whole sad saga.
Yep. Calling him a mercenary isn't a good look. There was no way Folau would have been able to join an NRL club this close to the start of the 2013 season without some salary cap fudging. He'll play a year for the Waratahs and get his body back into shape for rugby and then join someone in 2014. Maybe. Who knows, he might be completely disillusioned by the whole process and want to stay in rugby union.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 02:48 AM

Dont think he is that desperate yet. He will soon realize the error of his ways where he will be lucky to receive a pass all year never mind a game in Kick and slapWho knows, he might be completely disillusioned by the whole process and want to stay in rugby union.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 07:43 PM
Israel Folau has hit back at critics of his contract negotiations as his deal with the Waratahs was confirmed in a press conference on Tuesday.
Folau has come in for heavy criticism after turning his back on a deal to return to the NRL with Parramatta but the under fire player said he was comfortable with his decision.
That's one way of looking at it Mr Allen.Waratahs CEO Jason Allen was also overjoyed by Folau's capture, trumpeting it as a huge boost for the maligned Super Rugby franchise.
"Winning Israel over to rugby union is a major boost for the HSBC Waratahs and an exciting prospect for Super Rugby fans across Australia," Allen said.
"As a player, Israel clearly has an exceptional talent but what was equally important to us was the enormous level of respect he commands from those who know him and have worked with him.

Vickroy: Why wings soar at Super Bowl parties
BY DONNA VICKROY email@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy February 1, 2013 9:14PM
Hot wings at Blarney Stone Pub in Oak Forest, Illinois, Tuesday, January 29, 2013. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun-Times Media

Let's be honest: Do we have a real reason to watch the Super Bowl?
Unless you hail from Baltimore, have relatives in San Francisco or have money riding on one of the Harbaughs, you could probably give a deep-fried chicken wing about the outcome of the game.
Then again, if you're like a growing number of Americans, you might opt to keep that chicken wing and give a pizza puff instead.
For those of us living in the loser cities, the Super Bowl is all about the halftime show and, most important, the food. It's an excuse to gather with friends and finally put an end to that New Year's resolution.
Yes, sports fans, your diet's demise likely will begin with wings. Despite a concern last week that there could be a wing shortage (not the first such scare), the National Chicken Council expects some 1.23 billion to be scarfed up on Sunday alone.
I don't get it. I love chicken, as my family will attest — roasted, grilled, sauteed in Marsala wine. But I think wings are kind of, well, icky.
Maybe it's the meat-to-skin ratio. Maybe it's the network of bones one has to navigate. Maybe it has something to do with the number of napkins required to clean up after them.
I feel the same about those bags of peanuts at the baseball game. So much work, so much mess, so little payoff.
That said, I totally get the M&Ms vs. Snickers bar thing. If you only have five minutes to stop the shakes, grab the Snickers. If you want that chocolatey goodness to last until you finish writing a Sunday column, opt for the M&Ms.
But why wings, and why now? I seem to recall wings being the last pieces of fried chicken to be chosen at family parties and graduation bashes. They often were pushed on the kids or the grandparents.
According to the council, deep-fried wings long have been popular with folks down south. The concept of adding hot sauce came about quite by accident during the 1960s when the owner of a Buffalo, N.Y., bar prepared them as a late-night snack for her son and his friends. They were so well-received that they were put on the menu the very next day. The trend gradually took off.
In that respect, I'm glad they found a new purpose.
I just don't get why wings are suddenly the bomb.
In the interest of understanding human nature — OK, I'm nosy about people's eating habits — I decided to investigate what makes wings fly.
Hooters restaurant in Orland Park expects to sell 31,000 to 34,000 wings this weekend, mostly through to-go orders destined for Super Bowl celebrations.
"They're easy finger foods that can be reheated," manager Dave Schmolke said. "People like them better than hot dogs in barbecue sauce or chips and salsa."
Not all people, Dave. I have a soft spot for chips and dips, especially if the dip contains tomatoes, olives, cilantro or black beans.
But I'm told even salsa can't hold a candle to wings these days. And why is that?
When I put the question to Mark Evans, manager of Harold's Chicken in Evergreen Park, he busted out laughing.
"If I had the answer to that, I'd be rich," Evans said. "I guess it has something to do with the batter, with the way the wings are made."
Evans said his store expects to sell well into the thousands that day.
"Wings have always been our biggest seller," he said.
For Mason McCormies, wings sometimes trump pizza.
"They're just chicken deep-fried and slathered in sauce. You can't go wrong," said McCormies, a bar back at the Blarney Stone in Oak Forest, where wings are the top-selling appetizer. "I like them with buffalo sauce — butter and hot sauce, two great ingredients."
Blarney Stone owner Kim Keane said buffalo sauce is the most popular, although most of the nation prefers ranch.
"People just like to snack while watching sports," Keane said.
They also like to wash those snacks down with beer. While Chicagoans may be wing connoisseurs, they still reach for good old Miller Lite more than any other beer.
"I don't really care for wings but if I was going to eat them, I'd wash them down with 5 Vulture," Keane said. "It has a bit of a jalapeno kick to it."
Anthos Chrysanthou, whose dad just opened Philly T's in Palos Hills, said wings are quickly becoming more popular than pizza, especially among the younger male demographic.
Chicken strips, perhaps a wing's counterpart, are "so old-school; kids stuff," Chrysanthou said. "Guys just like to get together and go get some wings."
Joe Rhodes said wings and sports just go together.
"They're like the kick that goes with sports," the Burbank mechanic said.
"I like them hot. I like to feel that burn and I like to wash that burn down with beer," he said.
He likes the atomic wings at Philly T's and the habanero ones at Buffalo Wild Wings.
"If you stop eating them, the burn goes away," he said. "Maybe that's why we keep eating them."
Rhodes said his wife likes wings, too, only she prefers the boneless kind.
Not only are wings tasty, Rhodes said, you can eat them with your hands, always a plus in his book.
Seems there is much more to wings than simply satisfying hunger.
When asked what she likes about them, Ruth Sheahan was quick to respond.
"They're an excuse to shove bleu cheese into my mouth," she said.
So there you have it — insight into the world of wings and the people who dip them.
Now go enjoy your feast.
May your favored team win. May the halftime show deliver. And may you make it into work tomorrow, either bright-eyed and bushy-tailed or on a prayer and a wing.

MORRISSEY: Cubs fans know poor quality but aren't quitters
BY RICK MORRISSEY email@example.com March 30, 2013 1:11AM

Updated: May 30, 2013 5:27PM
The baseball season opens Monday for Chicago, which means this is the perfect time for a tribute to Cubs fans, of whom so much is asked and so little given.
It's the perfect time because the team's 2013 record stands at a perfect 0-0. Life is not going to get much better for the people who donate blood regularly to the franchise.
Yet no group of fans stands by its team so steadfastly. Decade after decade of disappointment, and it doesn't matter. People stick with the Cubs the way they stick with their DNA. I know the easy thing to do is to make fun of such blind allegiance in the face of so much losing, and Lord knows I've done it. But there's something very noble about that kind of loyalty in today's culture. The divorce rate in this country is at 50 percent. Pro athletes change teams at the drop of a hat. Hell, high school basketball players change teams at the drop of a hat.
And Cubs fans go on, unchanging. Permanent.
They are not blind and undiscerning, though there was a long period when they closely resembled Odie, the slobbering, gullible dog in the comic strip ''Garfield.'' Not anymore. They've shown their displeasure with the franchise by no longer walking into Wrigley Field like lemmings. Attendance has dropped. It's still much higher than most teams, but it has dropped.
And yet, I don't know of many long-suffering followers who have given up on the Cubs. I don't think they'd know where to go if they did. The Cubs-Sox rivalry makes a shift to the South Side extremely difficult. But it's more than that. There's a stick-to-it-ness that the players, no matter how strong their work ethic, can't touch.
One of the Cubs' slogans this year is ''Love Deserves a Ring.'' No one can argue with that. Of course Cubs fans deserve a World Series title for all they've been put through. But Charlie Brown deserves to kick the football, too, and how's that going?
I keep coming back to this: Boy, do the Cubs ask a lot of their fans — economically, emotionally and probably metaphysically. Think about it. A team that lost 101 games last season will be better this year but still likely finish last in the National League Central. Fans are being told to be patient again, as if 104 years with no championships weren't patience enough. If I have this right, the unstated goal this season is to be bad enough that the team can sell off some of its valuable players to build for the future. Baseball fever, catch it!
The Cubs, even though they dropped ticket prices for 2013, are still asking fans to pay top dollar. They're asking fans to find parking around Wrigley Field, no easy task, and did I mention they're asking them to be patient?
The club had eight straight seasons with at least 3 million fans until 2012, when attendance dipped to 2.88 million. Troubling? Perhaps, but it was the highest attendance total in major-league history for a team that had lost at least 100 games, according to numbertamer.com.
The biggest news this spring has had nothing to do with the players on the field and everything to do with the players in the negotiating room. The Cubs want to put up a video scoreboard at Wrigley, likely blocking the view of some of the rooftops across the street. The rooftop owners, the kind of people who would pirate a neighbor's cable-TV connection and be indignant when caught, are upset. How about they renovate their buildings upward, above any new signage or scoreboard?
The squabbling has either taken away from the experience of watching the actual baseball or helped people forget the actual baseball. Either way, it's there.
Lots of people will look upon all of these crosses to bear as an indictment of Cubs fans' intelligence, but I think it's something else, something better.
I've always said that if frustrated sports fans were serious about effecting change, they would boycott games. I'm not so sure when it comes to the Cubs. If we've learned anything, it's that the franchise is resistant to just about everything. And maybe Cubs fans, the one constant in this world, are right to sit and wait.
Will club president Theo Epstein's way work? I don't know. I do know Cubs fans will give him time. When they give the benefit of the doubt, they give till it hurts.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, May 23) Scrutiny of whole fresh Mexican papayas for salmonella and other pathogens continues, with shipments routinely held and rejected at the border after the Food and Drug Administration issued an import alert August 2011.
Meanwhile, recalls and import rejections in recent weeks support the FDA's contention that the salmonella problem has not been resolved.
The agency updated its import alert on Mexican papayas May 18, clarifying that "detention without physical examination" applies to companies not on the FDA's approved list.
Caribe Produce recall
Caribe Produce LTD Co., McAllen, Texas, recalled a small number of Papaya Maradol Caribena brand fruit because of possible salmonella contamination discovered during routine testing, manager Stephen Corzo said May 21.
He said Caribe Produce notified all wholesale and retail customers May 15, and that the majority of the 286 cases of 35-pound cartons of fruit was no longer in the supply chain.
"Everyone is very cooperative and we have talked to all of our customers," Corzo said. "Everyone these days wants to take extra precaution when there might be a problem and our customers have sent the papayas back."
No illnesses have been reported.
The papayas were intended for individual sale and distributed by the case to wholesale and retail locations in the Bronx, NY, from May 14 through May 17.
Papayas & More recall
Another importer, Papayas & More LLC, McAllen, Texas, recalled more than 1,100 boxes of whole fresh papayas from Mexico April 14 because of salmonella contamination, but no recall notice was posted on the FDA's recall Web page.
Owner Luis Anguiano referred questions to his customs broker, Rosa Ruvalcaba.
Ruvalcaba declined to provide the recall notice to The Packer. She said the load was delivered to Anguiano's warehouse April 5 and on April 6 government officials collected samples for testing under the import alert guidelines.
"There was a shipping error," Ruvalcaba said May 23, explaining that the load was shipped out before the test results came back.

Wonderful! Just what I needed. Thank you.
Wonderful! Just what I needed. Thank you.
Is there any way to use the templates in PSP? I haven't been able to figure it out....
thanks for the tut though!
These are the instructions I include with my templates in the store. Hope this helps.
Paintshop Pro Users
1. Open the layered psd file. Make a duplicate of the psd file or save it with a different name so you dont save over the original file. You may want to use it again.
2. Open the papers and photos you would like to use in your layout.
3. Click on the layer you want to begin with to make it active. Move the paper you wish to use to the layered template. You can either drag & drop the paper or copy (CTRL+C) & paste (CTRL+L).
4. Make sure your paper layer is directly above the layer you want to work with. Select the active template layer (CTRL+A), then float the selection (CTRL+F) and then defloat the selection (CTRL+SHIFT+F). Invert the selection (CTRL+I). Click on the paper layer to make it active and press the delete key on the keyboard. This will delete the excess paper, cropping the paper layer to the shape of the template layer you selected. Deselect (CTRL+D) and hide or delete the template layer you used. Repeat these steps with the rest of the layers.
5. On most templates, the embellishments are a guide for placement. Once you have your elements in place you can hide or delete the unnecessary layers.
6. Add your title and/or journaling as desired. Unfortunately, the text paths included with some templates will not be usable in PSP, but you may use them as a guide for placement. You will need to hide or delete the title and journaling placement layers.
7. Have fun creating!
"The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart." Author Unknown
Thanks, okblues. I was just wondering the same thing as babyofmine (hee-hee she's DD #6).
But now we even have the tut.
Thank you sooooo much! You rock!
Thanks so much for the tutorial for PSE. I realized when I read this that I have been doing things the hard way. Using this new method will simplify everything!
I went thru this tutorial and couldn't get "Now type Ctrl-g" on page 6 to work for me. I went back to my old method of selections with the magic wand.
Who knew it would be just different in PSCS3 (and 2). Using that one extra key made layered templates that much easier to use.
I am new to using templates and frankly new to digital scrapbooking but have found I love using templates. My question is can I add drop shadows? How do I edit the drop shadows when I'm using a template?
Hi, yes you sure can! Templates come in layers.... and when you add papers and clip them to a layer, it's still it's own layer. You need to add the drop shadow on the layer that was in the template, not the clipping layer. Hope that make sense!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.
Also, on our menus at the top of every page, under Resources > Tutorials, there are tutorials with screen shots that may be of even more use to you. Here's the on templates in Photoshop...

Tifany's black Brazilian ass belongs in some sort of record book - it's fucking perfect. She put that thing right in my crotch, and I was lucky I didn't shoot a load in her as soon as that ass touched me. I did have to take her right into doggy style - anything else would have been a fucking waste of the most delicious ass I had seen in a long time.
Video: 21:27
Photo: 170
Tati might be on the more petite side, but there is nothing petite about that ass. It's nice, round, and full - just the way I like them. She dove for my cock as soon as I whipped it out, then she pushed me down on the bed and started to fuck me. She was a bit of a pushy bitch, but when she has an ass like this I couldn't say a damn thing, I just wanted to feel that under my hands.
Video: 23:39
Photo: 179
Talessa, phat booty, and oil - this is a damn good combination. She almost sat right on my face showing off her booty, but instead she just held it above my face to tease the fuck out of me. As soon as she saw I was completely hard, she switched that phat booty up and slammed it down on my cock. Spontaneous and freaky is what makes this chick perfect for me.
Video: 25:17
Photo: 204
Sara loved showing me her phat booty, but she loved it even more when I told her I was going to fuck her right in her whore ass. She shook that booty for me, and when I touched her pussy it was completely soaked already. I couldn't let this Brazilian chick down, so I just nailed her as hard as I could possibly manage and let her enjoy every second of it.
Video: 23:37
Photo: 174
Sara was as spicy as they come, and as freaky as I like them. She really had something special when she wrapped her lips around my dick. She really just wanted to get on top and impale herself on my cock, which came damn fast after the head. I ended up covered her face with sticky cum and making her just love that ass as much as I did.
Video: 24:50
Photo: 219
Wow is all I can say for this hot little redhead. The redhair may not be real, but her nice round titties surely are. Check out the big old booty on this one, she really knows how to put it to good use. Her sweet little blue eyes just cried "fuck me" so she get more than she bargained for when her tight little asshole got filled with cock!
Video: 21:42
Photo: 169
Paula was one horny bitch, but I personally couldn't take my mind off of her ass. I actually ended up sitting and watching this video myself a few times, and while I do admire my own performance, seeing that big Brazilian booty bounce up and down with every thrust nearly made me cum all over again. Man I love this fucking job.
Video: 24:32
Photo: 163
Another one of those model turned porn star cases here! And the bubble butt on this one is phenomenal. Just wait till you see what this girl can do with a cock. Her pussy was so tight, it was nearly impossible to cram it in there! If you like Brazilian girls and bubble butts, this is going to make you fall out of your chair!
Video: 23:59
Photo: 182
This horny Brazilian bimbo was aching for cock so bad, I stuffed it deep into every tight little hole on her hot little body. Including her perfect brown and round booty! These Brazilian girls are just fucking machines, they know exactly what a dude wants. I cant believe some of the shit these sluts can do with their pussies.
Video: 22:24
Photo: 172
Mychele didn't hide what she was after - she just wanted the cock. I certainly think that's a great attitude to take, and lent my cock to her cause. She gave me a smoking hot hand job before laying back on top of me, letting that sweet phat ass rub up and down against my crotch. There are some fucking hot angles of her ass when she really gets into the action that I could not believe when I first saw them. This chick is just out of this world.
Video: 25:48
Photo: 197
Another model turned to the dark side! She was trying to model swimsuits and was shocked when we told her what wanted her to do. But money talks, she tried to get naked on the spot. They really dont get much cuter than this, take a look at that face! All shaved and greased up, you're going to love this one.
Video: 23:19
Photo: 218
Mirela's ass was yummy, tasty, and really wanted to fuck the hell out of me. I'm not one to say no to an ass as phat as that, so I let her climb aboard for a ride. She was bouncing that ass up and down, so much so that I was almost afraid my balls were going to get crushed. They pulled through though, and I left a giant load right across that bouncy booty of hers.

You are here: Home » Scales and Monitors » Pedometers »
About 40 years ago in Japan the idea was developed that walking 10,000 steps a day will help you keep fit and healthy without the need for additional exercise. So ideally, between the first plundering steps to the bathroom in the morning, to the last few as we crawl into bed at night, we should have walked 10,000 steps, which is roughly 5 miles or 8 kilometres.
OK, miles and kilometres make it sound a little scary so how about turning 10,000 steps into time. I've found I usually walk a kilometre in about 12 minutes at a decent pace, so I could easily walk a bit slower and still do a kilometre in 15 minutes. So I could walk my whole 10,000 steps within 2 hours!
The even better news is that most of us walk around 4,000-6,000 steps a day without even thinking about it. Even the laziest of us who sit at desk all day do around 2,000.
But one thing's for sure; you won't know how many extra steps you should be taking, unless you know how many you're already walking.
A: A Pedometer, or step counter.
From £14.67 you can buy a basic pedometer, which will count your steps when activated and clipped to your waist. Primarily pedometers count steps, but they can also include extra features so you can see distance walked, calories, time, have a panic alarm etc...
Once you have a pedometer use our Daily Step Chart (at the bottom of this page) to record the number of steps you take each day and then work out your daily average for the week.
So now you know how many steps you normally walk a day it could just be a case of cancelling the milkman and walking to the corner shop each day. Or if you're stuck at a desk all day, you could be miles off 10,000 steps a day.
If you do have a way to go to reach the 10,000 steps a day target, build up slowly. Aim for an extra 10% or 500-1,000 steps a day. This way you can ease the change into your routine and stick to it, you're also much less likely to do yourself an injury by doing too much, too soon.
You may also find setting S.M.A.R.T.E.R objectives helpful as well as motivational. See my example below:
Below are a few ideas on where to find those extra steps to get you to 10,000 steps a day:
Below is a Daily Step Chart to record your results. It will automatically average your steps for the days you've walked each week. You can print a larger version to fill in offline. I've also included a printable graph so you can plot your weekly progress till you reach your target of 10,000 steps a day.

Candy-scented melt-y bath marvel
MMM melts into a pink, fluffy waterbed of marshmallow and moisturizing cocoa butter to satisfy cravings for all things sweet and delicious. Each pink, cupcake-shaped bath melt is made with real marshmallow herb, which produces a sweet, skin-soothing mucilage and marigold, which is equally lovely and calming for your skin. Part bath melt and part Bath Bomb – it's the fluffiest, pinkest bath melt we've ever created. Mixing it with the Bath Bomb mixture means that Melting Marshmallow Moment goes the distance. It fizzes and melts slowly, releasing the softening, skin soothing cocoa butter and almond oil into the water.
- Dessert for the tub: Our sweet cupcake confection slowly smooshes into the bath water releasing its sugary scent.
- A real softy: Almond oil and cocoa butter work their softening magic on the skin.
- Soothe operator: Chamomile is known for its soothing properties. Using powdered chamomile allows it to absorb the water.
Customer Review
"This is the first time I tried a melt, and this was a wonderful surprise, smells great. Left my skin extremely soft. Made bath time feel like I was in a dream. Will buy this one again."

Hope you can get the complete procedure from that person that claims that he was able to do the copy.
Did he say what software he was using to read the drive?
Could you post a link to the forum and thread?

Guess not!
My Setup
Posted 05 January 2013 - 05:48 PM
puffdaddy, thanks for the tools and explanation. I was able to migrate all of my recordings and settings off of my stock THR-22 internal drive and onto a larger eSATA drive. The new backup and restore programs don't work for the THR-22, but this is what I was able to get working:
1. Duplicated old drive to new one using dd.
2. Booted the MFSLive CD, put your programs on an SD card so I could mount them.
3. Used your version of mfsadd.s4.x86 to add partitions 15 and 16.
4. Used pdisk to delete partitions 15 and 16 and created a new 15 with the combined size.
5. Used dd to overwrite " /dev/sda16" with null bytes in partition 10.
6. Used the MFSLive version of mfs_info -f to correct the checksum (needed to first do "export MFS_DEVICE=/dev/sda10" to get it to work.)
7. Hooked up the new drive via eSATA, rebooted the THR-22, and all was well.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 11:26 PM
Checked out that thread.
Wonder why that person has not responded to your request for clarification on the procedure?
Hope he does. Sure would like to get a larger drive in place in my THR.
Posted 07 January 2013 - 08:28 PM
Please post it if he does.
Posted 01 November 2013 - 04:15 AM
So, has anyone successfullly replaced the original internal drive of their THR22 with a larger drive while saving the original content and taking advantage of the new drive's expanded capacity?
Posted 01 November 2013 - 05:00 AM
I did re-post his successful procedure - see post#68; time to repeat it here and tell us

I did re-post his successful procedure - see post#68; time to repeat it here and tell us
Yeah, that's a copy from the post on dealdatabse.com that Steve linked to. Have you used these instructions to successfully upgrade a THR22? In post #64 Steve states that those instructions are incomplete, that he is stuck on steps 4 and 5, and he is waiting for the OP of the instructions to provide clarification. As far as I can tell the OP never responded. At least Steve doesn't mention it here or in the thread on dealdatabase.com. Steve also said he isn't familiar with dd, so perhaps that is the real issue and the instructions do indeed work.
I ordered a WD20EURX for the upgrade and it is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I guess I can just try the instructions myself and see what what happens.

Arcadia Bench
This bench is exceeds my expectations!
I bought the Arcadia table and did not buy the bench initially. After setting up the table and loving it, I decided to purchase the matching bench as well. I found the bench to be very easy to put together and sturdy. It only took my husband and I about 20 minutes to assemble. I have had no weight issues with the bench, in fact, it supports several adults at once. I am thrilled that I decided to purchase the Arcadia bench and definitely recommend this bench to anyone that buys the Arcadia table. They look excellent together!
April 25, 2013
Sturdy and Solid
After about 40 minutes, we got the bench assembled and found it to be really sturdy and well constructed. I'm not usually a fan of benches because they look cheap and almost always look like boxed furniture pieces. I love that this bench looks like it is of a higher quality.
January 14, 2013
Good looking, sturdy bench
I ordered this bench for our dining room, and am quite pleased with it. It looks exactly like the picture, and is quite sturdy and stable. My husband was able to put it together in about an hour, and we have had no problems. Quick shipping for such a large piece. Very satisfied.
December 11, 2012
So glad I picked this set!
I almost did not purchase this bench to go with my table because of the horrible reviews. I am so glad that I did. I put this bench (and the table) together by myself. I had to flip some pieces around once or twice because I wasn't paying attention, but when I was done, this bench is SOLID. Not only is in not wobbly, it stays in place! I have two very active young children that have been climbing all over it and it is sturdy. I'm wondering if all the problems people have had with it being wobbly are due to using the shorter screws on the bottom? I almost did but then realized that they would not be long enough. I have pushed and pulled on this bench and can't make it wobbly so I hope others will give it a try if they really like the style. I use this in a living/dining room combo with the matching table and a banquette seat on the other side.

LOVE these benches! Assembly a breeze!!
After reading the reviews I was hesitant about buying these benches. I took the chance and am so glad I did! I ordered two of them and we put them together in under an hour. (My husband did one and I did the other.) I have to say I have NEVER written a review about a product but felt I needed to do so for these benches. Just make sure you follow the directions and use the appropriate hardware. Everything fit into place perfectly and the benches are not wobbly at all. We also have the Arcadia table and two chairs and love our new dining set. 5 stars!!
March 30, 2012
We bought the Arcadia dining table set (table, bench and 2 chairs) just yesterday. I fell in love with this set when I saw it online (though I was debating between this one and the Verona set). When I went to the store to see it in person, I knew the Arcadia was the one. It's absolutely gorgeous rustic beauty. We had 25% off coupon so the whole set came just under a grand, but it looks so much more expensive than the 900-something price we'd paid.
The chairs and table were easy to assemble, although this bench was really tough! That's really the only downside of it. I've read reviews of how wobbly it is when it's put together, and actually one of the two displays at the store was super wobbly but the other one wasn't, so I thought maybe it's a hit or miss. We gambled on it and brought it home, and my husband realized that the instructions were not so clear so he had to figure things out himself. The part that makes the chair wobbly is when you attach the legs to this plate...you have to flip it over. My husband didn't know that since the instruction manual was really poorly written, so at first we also thought our bench was going to be wobbly. But then he unscrewed everything and flipped the plate, and voila! It worked! But then there was another challenge. The last piece of wood you have to attach to the bottom of the seat to make it more stable/secure was longer than it should be, so it wouldn't fit! We had to pull a Macguiver and carve both ends shorter with cutter knife (seriously, what the heck?) It's definitely a manufacturing error but I loved the bench so much and didn't wanted to give up on it, so my husband and I worked our butts off carving that thing until it was short enough to slide into the place. Whew!
But all in all it was fun to put them together. Folks, if your bench ends up being wobbly, it's not b/c of the factory error -- you should try to flip the plate like we did. Our bench is sturdy and solid as it should be.

Hands down this table is gorgeous!!!!!!!
I love, love, love this table. You must go to the store to see in person. Actually, the day that I went to go purchase this table, I was put on a waitlist. I think I was number 7. I'm also, a fan of RH, but there furniture is a bit to pricey. This table is very compatible to one of the tables sold in there store. I'm very happy with this purchase because the actual table looks like I spent alot of money for it. Since the table was sold out for the sale price of [$]... I was able to get a raincheck. Once the item finally came in, I was able to get 25 percent off the raincheck price because the were running a special. (lucky for me)...I wasn't so impressed with the chairs. So, I purchases some beautiful slipcovered chairs from PB. Lastly, this table is really solid. Assembly took about 1 hour with no problems.
October 20, 2011
love it
I have the bench and matching table they are as nice and sturdy as they look, love them.
we used the tufted brown microfiber chairs, looks really nice.

According to detective Steve Ross of the Cleveland Police Department Criminal Investigations Division, Kristopher Kolhouse is wanted for allegedly taking checks from a relative and forging them.
Ross said Kolhouse's last known address was 2020 Bates Pike.
Anyone having information regarding Kolhouse's whereabouts can contact Ross at 303-3120.
- In a separate case, Ross filed a warrant which led to the arrest of Kristy L. Ellis, 40.
Ellis allegedly took information from relatives and established credit card accounts which have resulted in fraud charges of more than $15,000 with the cards.
Through the investigation, Ross learned Ellis reportedly applied for cards online, citing herself as an authorized user.
The victims were notified of the unauthorized usage after a fraud alert company noticed the attempts and success of opening credit card accounts.
"We are continuing to develop leads in the investigation and additional arrests could be possible," Ross said Thursday.
Ellis was charged with two counts of identity theft and fraudulent use of a credit card over $10,000.
- A variety of tools including two electric welders and other items were reported stolen from a garage located at a Farris Street address.
Two victims were listed in a report filed by deputy Tim Robinson of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office.
According to his report, Ronald Lynn and Bennie Wyatt lost $4,825 in the burglary.
Among the missing items were carpentry and mechanical tools, fishing gear and camping equipment.
The theft was believed to have occurred during the past weekend.
Investigation is being conducted by the Bradley County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division.

- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Suede Pocket Jacket
This jacket is very beautiful. It's thin though. but I got it on sale so that's a plus. It definitely fits true to size. I'm a 34 A and got the small.
May 16, 2013
Great Jacket. Fits well. Beautiful, soft material. Lovely color. Love it!
May 1, 2013
Nice looking but casual
This jacket is really comfortable and nice-looking but it is still more casual. I would probably only wear it with jeans or a casual dress.
I wish they had it in more colors! I would totally get it in black.
I'm 5'8" and got a small. It fits perfectly!
One thing I am worried about is that it will get dirty. Hopefully I can be careful and this won't happen...but I think it would show dirt a lot because of the suede and the light color.
Overall, would definitely recommend, especially to wear to work.
April 16, 2013
Love the fit & the softness of this jacket
5 ?'s. I absolutely love this jacket. Its perfect in so many ways. First this is the perfect splurge piece. You can dress it up with pumps or dress it down with flats. The fit is very flattering. The neutral color also allows it to be worn with so many different things. Also because of the color and thickness it makes an easy transition piece for upcoming spring. The fit is true to size. I'm a size 2 or 26 with a 34D chest and purchased the small. It fits perfectly! Definitely reccommend! ?????

Latte Giovanni Non-Paper Cups
Received these as a gift. I have others from World Market that I love. These are taller and I love the way they look. I don't have any problem with them fitting in my car cup holders. I am disappointed however because they do cause a lot of spills even with a lot of room left in the cup, and one of them leaks every time I take a sip, so I essentially can only use one of them ( I otherwise end up with coffee all over me).
January 1, 2013
A disappointing addition to the Non-Paper Cups collection
I thought these were really pretty on the website, so I ordered them (needing to add more to my personal collection of Non-Paper Cups after breaking one). I was unpleasantly surprised to find that these are taller than the other ones that I own, so that they don't fit as well into my car's cupholders (the lid gets snug against the dashboard, so it's difficult to pick it up without knocking the lid off, making them pretty useless for commuting).
Additionally, the lids appear to be the same as the ones that came with the shorter cups, which made me think, "Great!" ... Except they don't fit as well on these taller, slightly narrower versions. I've filled up my cup three times today to about a centimeter below the rim (as I do with the shorter ones) and every time I've moved while holding the cup, I get beverage all over my hand.
Also, for some reason one of the lids I received was slightly stained with something yellow, something that did not come off in the dishwasher.
Overall: Pretty, but borderline useless for commuting/moving around purposes (you know, the main reasons people buy coffee mugs with lids).
