Do not get short poured again at a bar!
Ask yourself the following: Is your bartender sloppy, cavalier, or imprecise when pouring your favorite micro-brew, or is he just trying to increase his profit margin?
When your local pubs say they are selling you a pint of beer, you should get a pint (i.e., 16 oz). Not 12 oz or even 14 oz, but 16 oz of beer. A "pint" is a standard U.S. liquid measure, or precisely 16 oz of liquid.
As it turns out, the majority of the volume in a standard US pint glass is in the relatively small height in the top part of the glass. In fact, if a beer is poured to within about 1/2 inch from the top, 13% of the beer is GONE. If the beer is poured to about one inch from the top of the glass, an astonishing 25% of the beer is missing from your pint. This is shown visually below.
At times it is difficult for us to perceive that the small height at the top of a pint glass can contain so large a portion of the beer's volume.
The question is: are they selling you a "pint of beer," or a "beer in a pint glass?" These are two distinctly different things.
The problem is the design of the standard
A team of international scientists (and beer connoisseurs) have designed and developed a gauge to determine how much of the wonderful micro-brew is missing from your pint glass (see theory). They call this incredible patent-pending gauge, "The Piaget Beer Gauge" (or "the Beer Gauge" for short). Piaget was a scientist in the 1800's to 1900's who studied the human inability to distinguish identical volumes in different sized containers (for more details see Piaget).
THE BEER GAUGE: Front Side THE BEER GAUGE: Back Side
We are offering you this revolutionary (how did you live without it) gauge directly from the manufacturer (Ordering Information). The gauge is made of rigid, scientifically-designed waterproof material (i.e., plastic). The gauge is the size of a standard credit card and fits conveniently into a wallet. The gauge is easy to use (see instructions) and comes equipped with easy to read beer levels and volumes, scientifically calculated curves, and useful conversion factors.
Order yours today: Ordering Information. (only $2.00)
Now when your bartender tells you that the beer is "almost" full, you do not need to ask him what "almost" means. All you need to do is whip out your very own "Beer Gauge" and tell him to keep pouring.
Keep your bartender honest and Order your very own inexpensive "Beer Gauge" today (Ordering Information).
Throughout the years great minds have realized the importance of "GOOD" brew (see Quotes).
Why, do you ask, did we bring together these leading scienists to develop this incredible gauge? The story goes like this ..... (see the details of this interesting story)

Giants Still Figuring out Lineup
Know, the general consensus heading in was, that if healthy, Freddy Sanchez would enter the season as the Giants 2nd place hitter, the role he's filled throughout his stay here in San Francisco and much of his time in Pittsburgh. However, Bruce Bochy said this week that he may shake things up with the lineup in the Cactus League. I like the idea, considering the Giants have a player in Cabrera, who they don't quite know where he'll fit in best in the lineup. He's always been a top of the order hitter, so Bochy mentioned possibly moving Sanchez down to the 6th spot and Melky into the 2 hole. Having Cabrera hit fifth is kind of a two-sided affair, because on one end, you get that potential power (18 homers) and run production (88 RBI) not to mention, some consistent protection for Panda and Posey. At the same time, one of the Cabrera's big tools is his speed and ability to swipe bases, and if you put two high OBP guys like Buster and Pablo in front of him it could limit that element of his game. That's why I get Boch ideally wanting to use Pagan and Cabrera in the 1-2 spot, which I would like to see done. It's just too bad the Giants couldn't acquire that one more middle of the order hitter (say, bringing Beltran), then we wouldn't even need to have this conversation! The Giants lineup, 1-4, with Cabrera at the 2 spot would be pretty dynamic, though things get a lot more suspect after that.
Aubrey Huff figures to lock down either the 5th spot (if Melky hits 2nd) or the 6th spot, behind Melky. Perhaps the biggest story I'll be following this spring though, will be that first base situation, and what happens with Huff, Belt and Pill. I mean, Huff will obviously start the year there, just because of his contract, but the Giants won't give him near as much rope this time around. That brings us to who would back him up, and everyone seems to thing Brandon Belt is pretty much guaranteed a spot on the opening day roster. I'm not as sure though. I know the Giants want Belt getting pretty regular at-bats, and it may make more since for them to start the year with Brett Pill as Huff's backup. Pill quietly put up some very good numbers after his call-up in September, after many solid years in the minor leagues, and he's still just 27 years old, so he's still improving. I mean, he had three really good years in a row, starting in Connecticut, where it was a hitters nightmare (.298/19/109) then culminating last year in Fresno with his second consecutive all-star season for the Grizzlies (.312/25/107). I've been wondering why the Giants haven't moved him around the infield, as he's got the flexibility and has played other positions in the minors. If your can make Pill serviceable at 3rd, and 2nd, then you have one helluva utility player. Now granted, playing 2nd base and 3rd base at the ML level is different than playing in San Jose. I think Boch should play him solely at 2nd and 3rd this spring and only sparingly at first. We know he's a very good first basemen, so he's got nothing to prove there.
As far as Belt is concerned, I still have high hopes for him and expect big things, but he showed he wasn't quite ready last season, and if he can't learn to cover that inside part of the plate this spring, he should be getting all the work he can in Fresno unless Huff wets the bed early and often... Also, should be noted that Bochy announced that Tim Lincecum will start the Cactus League opener Saturday vs. Colorado, and is penciled in to throw an inning. It's unclear who will follow Timmy, but it's a great sign to see that he'll be out there for game one after suffering from back soreness later last week.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Charges Company Fired Worker Regarded As Disabled
MIAMI - American Tool & Mold, a Clearwater, Fla., company that designs and manufactures injection molds for plastics, violated federal law when it fired a man because it regarded him as disabled, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, the company terminated Michael Matanic because he did not provide a medical release relating to a six-year-old successful back surgery. At the time of his termination, Matanic was in good health and had a recent medical examination showing no physical limitations on his ability to perform his job as a process engineer. The EEOC further charged that Matanic actually performed his job with American Tool and Mold for two months without incident or injury while he attempted to obtain the outdated medical documentation that it had required as part of its allegedly discriminatory post-offer medical screening process.
Requiring some employees to provide medical documentation for old medical conditions violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits employers from discriminating against employees and applicants who are disabled, have a record of disability or who are regarded as disabled. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement out of court. The lawsuit, EEOC v. American Tool & Mold, (Case No. 8:12-cv-2772), seeks back pay for Matanic, compensatory and punitive damages, changes to the company's medical examination criteria, and other injunctive relief.
"Employers must refrain from making workplace decisions based on fears or stereotypes about people with real or perceived disabilities," said Robert Weisberg, Regional Attorney for the EEOC's Miami District Office. "Not only do these actions violate federal law, but they also deny qualified workers the opportunity to be productive members of this nation's work force."
The EEOC's Miami District Director, Malcolm Medley, said, "When an employer makes an employment decision based on unfounded speculation about future financial risks associated with a disability or perceived disability, it violates federal law. The EEOC will act vigorously to protect the rights of workers who are disabled or whom employers perceive as disabled."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. The Miami District Office's jurisdiction includes Florida, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Adidas trainers // Size?
I'd sort of resisted getting one of these tops cos they were everywhere on guys (sold by Topman, predictably) but this one was in the Asos sale. I love the colour and I think it has a really masculine yet flattering shape. The trainers are the feature of this post though. This is my first pair of Adidas and I won't look back, they are so comfortable and worth the money.

Raito (or Light) is an ordinary college student, top of the class. Until one day he finds a notebook (Death Note) with some very peculiar rules written into it. If you write someone's name into the Death Note, they will die within 40 seconds. As he watches the news, he see something is going on, writes down the name of the criminal and dies within 40 seconds of a heart attack.
This encourages Raito to experiment further with the notebook, and he also meets the owner of the notebook: Ryuk. Ryuuk is a Shinigami (Death God) and is now bound to Raito until he dies or relinquishes ownership. Considering criminals are dying all over the world, this attracts attention from the police. The police force in Japan calls in the help of L. L is a super detective and with the help of the police they're trying to catch this killer, or Kira. Did I also mention that the Chief of the police task force is Raito's father?
I've read the manga and seen part of the anime. The manga and anime differ from each other and so does the live action movie. There is a lot of background you'll miss from the movie, but it's not needed. There was a second movie, which I'll review in a minute
Now the movie basically describes the first quarter of the manga. You see how Raito gets the book, how he experiments with it and his philosophy. He basically wants to create an eden, where there is no crime and he will be a god. The more you watch, the more you think he's right. Crime does die down, people are scared of Kira, because he can judge them.
On the opposite spectrum, you've got L. He's a quirky young man, and when I say quirky, I DO mean quirky. But he is highly intelligent and tries to find out who this Kira is. There is a constant dynamic between Kira and Raito.
Do not expect a big action movie, expect a battle of wits. There will be deaths, a lot of them, but not in the hack-and-slash variety. You'll be rooting for Kira/Raito, but as well for L.
Overall, i give this a 5/6. Mainly because i'm a fan of the manga and follows it closely and yet brings something new and unexpected to it as well.

Japanese Ornamental Rock Europ... - 0602-0070
Item description
Rocks and stones are used in nearly every Japanese garden. Japanese zen- and rock gardens, Karesansui, consist only of rocks, stones, and gravel. Japanese gardens generally use rocks and stones in subtle ways to evoke and mimic the qualities of the natural landscape. The most common arrangement is one or more groups of three rocks. One common triad arrangement has a tall vertical rock flanked by two smaller rocks, representing Buddha and his two attendants.
Japanese gardens also often feature large boulders that are sunk into the ground for scenic effect. In ancient time when the first garden manual, Sakuteiki, was written, rock setting was a very serious task.
In the oldest garden manual from Japan, started around 1100, the Sakuteiki, the authors explain that the Japanese garden should be like an abstract, miniature rendering of the surrounding nature, with all its features. According to the masters, it would be a matter of importance to apply ornamental stones, rocks, trees, and plants from to surrounding environment. Next to a great collection of very special Japanese ornamental rocks and stones, we also have various wonderful ornamental stones and rocks from the European Alps in our collection.

Distant Galaxy Clusters
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image reveals one of the faintest and probably farthest clusters of galaxies ever seen. The cluster contains about 30 very faint objects which are unusually small and compact in appearance. (The larger objects are foreground galaxies located in a separate galaxy cluster four billion light-years away). These lumpy spots do not appear to resemble the elliptical and spiral galaxies of today. The objects might not be separate galaxies but rather sites of strong star formation embedded within primordial galaxies which are too faint to be seen in this HST exposure.
The colors of these objects (measured with the Mount Palomar 200-inch telescope), place the cluster at a distance of at least seven billion light-years (redshift z > 1.)
The cluster may be even farther if it is associated with a quasar (located near the left edge of the frame) which has a measured distance of ten billion light-years ( redshift z = 2.055).
Though the superposition of the cluster objects and the quasar could be a coincidence, both are so unusual they probably all are members of the same cluster, at the same distance. If so, then this corresponds to the early epoch of galaxy formation, about ten billion years ago.
The image was taken with HST's Wide Field/Planetary Camera in Wide Field Camera mode, and required a 6-hour exposure.

We are honored to have a large number of leading experts as invited speakers for our conference, and the participation of researchers and students from 45 countries. We look forward to a stimulating and exciting meeting, said Professor Jackie Y. Ying.
|This is a particularly exciting time for research in all areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology, and particularly as these areas touch on materials science and engineering. Such is the growth in the number of nanomaterial-related articles we receive across all of our journals, and such is the demand from researchers to know where the science is going, that a conference such as this is both timely and uniquely placed to help the research community make sense of what is a dynamic and growing focus of research. I am very proud that Nano Today is sponsoring this successful conference as it makes its third appearance, and my thanks go to Jackie Ying and all of the IBN team for making this happen, said Deborah Logan, Publishing Director, Materials Science Journals, Elsevier.
|The first Nano Today Conference was held in Singapore in 2009. Since then, the Nano Today Conference Series has established itself as a major forum for the international research community.
|Nano Today is ranked the second most influential journal internationally in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology by Thomson Reuters (Journal Citation Reports®, June 2013). Since successfully transitioning from a magazine to a journal format in 2009 under Professor Yings leadership, Nano Today has recorded major increases in Impact Factor from 5.929 in 2007 to 17.689 in 2012. This latest impact factor rating also placed the journal #4 out of 239 journals in Materials Science (Multidisciplinary), and #5 out of 152 journals in Chemistry (Multidisciplinary), consolidating its position as a leading journal that serves a broad readership. Nano Today is also the only Asia-based journal among the top 5 journals in each list.
|At each Nano Today conference, one outstanding scientist is recognized for his/her distinguished accomplishments and contributions to the advancement of nanotechnology with the Nano Today Award. This year, the Nano Today 2013 Award will be presented to Professor Younan Xia for his pioneering research in the field of nanostructured materials.
|To support the participation of young researchers, 12 PhD students and postdoctoral fellows from 9 countries have been selected to receive the Nano Today Student Travel Award. The award recipients will receive a travel grant, conference registration fee waiver and the opportunity to present their research findings at the conference.

"Mother of George" is an unexpected gem about true love, infertility and a meddling mother-in-law. The couple under duress is part of Brooklyn's close-knit Nigerian immigrant community. Not a side of that borough we usually see.
But it is the kind of distinctive, culture-driven drama from emerging filmmakers that I wish we saw more of. Darci Picoult's screenplay is refreshingly spare and alive with energy in director Andrew Dosunmu's hands.
The Nigerian-born Dosunmu knows the New York immigrant experience firsthand. He got his start directing videos for Common, Wyclef Jean and Aaron Neville among others, and he splits his time between the city and his birthplace, Lagos.
In his first film, 2011's "Restless City," love is a complication for an immigrant artist playing music around New York's fringes. In "Mother of George," Adenike (Danai Gurira) and Ayodele (Isaach De Bankole) are very much in love. Conflicting cultures are the problem.
It begins with a traditional Nigerian wedding in a crowded Brooklyn apartment. The idea of children — one who will be named George — is woven throughout the words blessing their union. The colors are vibrant; the couple are beautiful. As their ideas about life in this land evolve, the images on-screen move between blurred and crisp, underscoring confusion and clarity. Cinematographer Bradford Young won the top prize at Sundance in January for his work on this film and another, "Ain't Them Bodies Saints."
Despite their best efforts, 18 months after the wedding there is still no baby. Adenike's mother-in-law (Bukky Ajayi) presses a bitter tea, a visit to a shaman, and the idea of letting her son take another woman. This does not sit well.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
The film keeps circling around the clash over cultural mores. Desperation leads the young woman to a fertility doctor. For Ayodele, his very identity is wrapped up in his ability to give his wife children. The family's resistance to even discussing medical options triggers a ripple effect no one expects.
And then Adenike finds that she is expecting. But like a wheel within a wheel, the pregnancy only compounds the difficult family dynamic.
Though the family is an extended one — Ayodele's brother, Adenike's best friend, a range of loose relations — husband, wife and mother-in-law are the movie's superb core.
Gurira, better known for her work in AMC's "The Walking Dead," first caught my eye as part of an apartment-occupying couple in "The Visitor" with Richard Jenkins. She is exceptional here as a woman determined to find a way to become the "Mother of George."

How do I get my Windows 8 single language product key?
Is anyone got any idea ?
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
I know it sound stupid now but your question is a bit strange for me. Why?
Every preinstalled operating system is already activated so when you buy new notebook with preinstalled OS you have also bought one valid licence. This licence or used product key belongs to preinstalled OS version and cannot be used in any other case. With other words this product key is useless for you and you cannot use it for other OS version.
My question is: why do you want to have this key?
I have a client with a refurbished L850 which is currently running Windows 8.0. I ran the upgrade advisor and it found some issues with 8.1 and was wondering if anyone had upgraded and what their experience was like? I also contacted and they seemed to say was Ok but you might have some issues and we won't guarantee it will work as it does on 8.0.
So, it seems like the best thing to would be to leaver her on 8.0 and not bother with 8.1.
Any suggestions?
I don't know which L850 has your client but fact is that this model is supported for Win8.1 upgrade. If you visit Toshiba download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp you will see all listed stuff that should be installed.
More about Win8.1 update you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/
In my opinion you should create recovery media with original Win8. After doing this install Win8.1 update following instructions on Toshiba Win8.1 page. Check the functionality and if everything is OK I hope your client will be very happy.
If there is some problem install original Win8 version from recovery media and notebook can be used with ?factory settings? again.
By the way: check Win8.1 section on this forum to see if there is some issue with L850 model.
Hi everyone,
I'm using my Satellite Pro L850-1NR for school. I go to a technical school for information technology, and we use windows 8. The Problem is that *Windows 7 is pre-installed* on my Laptop and at home every PC works with Windows 7.
When you buy a Satellite Pro L850-1NR, you get two *Windows 8 installation CDs*, so I want to do a *dualboot Windows 7 and Windows 8*. I know how to create a new volume on my hard disk, but when I start the first disk, the only option is to delete Windows 7 and install Windows 8.
Is it possible to dualboot this and if it's possible, what shall I do? ?:|
The Win 7 was preinstalled on your notebook. The Win 8 was supplied on the DVD disks.
In both cases; Win 7 and Win 8 is part of the Toshiba image.
Toshiba image is a package containing all drivers, tools and utilities.
It?s not possible to keep the Win 7 on the HDD and to install additional Win 8 using the supplied recovery disk.
Why? Because this is not clean Win 8 system but as mentioned; its image.
But generally its possible to have an dual boot system (Win 8 and Win 7). The boot menu will be created automatically which will allow you to choose between Win 7 and Win 8 OS.
You need to create simply new partition within the Win 7 system.
Then you have to boot from clean MS Win 8 disk and could install the Win 8 on the new created partition.
sorry if these questions seem trivial but I'm a new Windows 8 and Toshiba user.
After the start window and going into the Toshiba window I can see in the add software or unistall
I can see all software loaded but on the page its self I can't see any icons to start any programmes,
as there isn't a start menu as like on my old xp laptop,
how do I see any icons?
Also on on the description on my laptop is says that Nero and Toshiba webcam software should be loaded but again no mention of it anyway!
Help lol again sorry but I'm a user of xp and owner of an old laptop.
Since you are newbie to Windows 8 you should check some essential information from Microsoft. Here is a nice page giving you good survey of new system:
The main and important button now is the ?Windows? button (key with the Microsoft sign).
There are some important shortcuts you should know:
Windows Key + C: Displays Charms menu.
Windows Key + D: Activates desktop mode.
Windows Key + X: Brings up a menu of advanced system options, including Windows Control Panel, Command Prompt, Task Manager and File Explorer.
Windows Key + Tab: Brings up the Task Switcher and toggles between Windows 8-style apps.
Windows Key + Q: Brings up the apps search menu that allows you to search your list of installed programs.
Windows Key + E: Opens File Explorer to the ?My Computer? view which shows all your drives.
Windows Key + R: Opens Run menu where you can launch programs by typing in their executable file names.
Here you can find the full overview:
Hello, i have a Satellite L850-1v3 Laptop and accidentally i destroyed my Hard drive
Now, i'm trying to install Windows 8 in a new hard drive but it always get stuck on 89% and this error code come up "0xC0000005"
I have tried with different Installation discs, through CDROM, usb etc
What should i do?
Another question that comes up, is "where can i find my Windows 8 serial key?"
Thanks :)
Do you try to install original Win8 64bit version that you got with your machine?
Have you bought brand new HDD?
After updating from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 the amber wireless indicator lamp is always on, even if wireless function is off.
The key to turn airplane mode on or off doesn't work.
Wireless is working anyway perfectly and turned on or off with the mouse.
Is there a solution to make it work as before the updating?

Hey all,
I have been going crazy trying to find the nitty-gritty details of what goes on under the hood with the upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 2 I am considering upgrading.
I am aware the many Windows 8.1 devices have OEM Product Keys embedded in the BIOS. I am trying to find information on how Windows 10, if installed from a .ISO bootable media, interacts with this key, and how Digital Entitlement plays into all of this. It's currently hard for me to make sense of a lot of this. Can anyone help clarify how all these elements play with one-another?
Another question regarding this process I have currently: If I use a NEW Windows 10 product key during installation, would the new key replace the previous (8.1 OEM) one in the BIOS?
The more I find out about all this, the more mystery there seems to be to it. I am just trying to find the cleanest way to install Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 2, and this BIOS OEM key and Digital Entitlement vs. Product Key thing is really confusing me. Sorry if this isn't the best place to ask, I'm just pretty lost right now and could really use advice from someone who's really knowledgeable about this stuff, currently.
Thanks all .

As my Hard Disk is broken, how can I install a new OS on the new hard drive? As I boot with my cd/dvd optical drive the installation of windows won't start! I tried toinstall Ubuntu on another Hard disk and there's non problem. The problem is only trying the installation of windows. Can someone help me? Tank you
Hi Geminy,
let's make sure that you:
1) replaced the broken hard drive for a new one that is working fine
2) tried to install Ubuntu linux using your DVD optical drive, and installation were successful (or you just tried to start system from live-dvd and not finished installation to HDD)?
3) put the Windows installation media in your DVD-drive and – what happens? It will not boot from the DVD-disk, it will not start installing windows, it does not see the HDD drive and says there is no place for install… Does the windows installer raport any problems? Do you see any messages? Does it restart by itself?
Which version of windows you try to install? Is it the same version you had on your laptop before the HDD crashed?
Is the new hard disk mechanical hard-drive or electronic SSD type?
Possible problems are with: the BIOS settings (UEFI / CSM mode, secure boot option and so on), with HDD/SATA drivers (AHCI / compatibility…) or maybe simply you have installed Ubuntu on hard drive and now windows has no space to fit there, nor it sees any space as it is XFS/EXT4 formatted by linux. There are also many other possibilities, so please give as many information as you can.
best regards
Hi everyone
my satellite 850-138 with W7 was updated in its day to the W10. Ewerything Works fine.
I want the applications I had with windows7 and gives no option to download the W10, only to Wind. 7 or 8.1.
Thank to all.
Model Satellite L850-Y3110(PSKFWG-00F00C)
my laptop specs are i73630QM with 8gb DDR3 Ramand Raedon HD7670M 2Gb graphics in 64 bit Windows 10 pro.When i purchased it was installed with Win8.1 afterwards i manuallyt upgraded it to Win10.Everything was fine graphics is also ok.
From toshiba's website i found that my laptop is not up-gradable to Windows10. Anyway i have upgraded and there is no going back.
So my drivers are now auto updated with windows.
But to find drivers from my OEM's website i checked all toshiba's websites.But most of them does not recognize my model except this website.
In this site also i am not getting any drivers of Windows8.1.Only drivers of Windows 7 is available.
1)I would like to know where i can get these drivers.(Win 8.1)?
Please check with my model number before replying because i have spent many days for this.Again toshiba-india website provides only bios update drivers for my version.
2)So i would like to know whether other L850 model's drivers are compatible with my lap?
Now i will come to actual problem.
From intel's website i am aware that my laptop is having inbuilt graphics intel HD4000.
3)So where is it?
But nowhere in my laptop i can see this display adaptor.I looked into bios also to see whether it is disabled in bios.
And i found that there is no tab in bios regarding display/graphics.
I tried all latest drivers from intel for HD4000 and drivers from AMD for Redon7670M.

Hi all,
I really hope somebody could help me please.
I went to turn on my laptop and it wouldn't turn on.
The fans aren't starting up, I have a white mains power light on with no blinking and and also the same with the battery light (white on and not blinking)
I have tried taking the power away completely and held the power button for 30 seconds before replacing battery and mains power to the machine.
I really am getting to a deperate stage as have all my photos of children, family wedding day and honeymoon on my laptop.
Please help if you can.
Thanks in advance.
First of all a good news: your personal files on the HDD like pictures, photos should not be affected.
You could get access to the files removing the HDD from the notebook (details here: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU2603C20000R01.htm) and connecting this HDD to another computer using an USB-SATA 2.5" enclosure.
Now bad news: from my point of few your notebook developed an serious hardware malfunction; maybe its just an RAM module problem… in such case you would need to replace only the RAM modules but in worst case the motherboard could be faulty and such fix could be very expensive procedure.

All drivers for your notebook model you can find on http://www.toshibamea.com/en/Download-Files
Your PSKG8V model is listed there. Maybe it sound stupid now but I don't know what the ?power driver? is. If your notebook was delivered with original preinstalled OS I recommend you to set BIOS to default settings and install original recovery image.
After doing this you can test functionality with ?factory settings?.
Post some feedback please.
I've got a client who has an L850-1DW / PSKDHE-00E005EN notebook.
She keeps reporting that the computer does not start properly from cold.
She claims the issue presents itself mainly when booting from battery but occasionally when plugged in to the mains.
I can see in the event logs that BSODs have been registered on start-up and that on more than one occasion her computer was recovered from a Windows Restore point. It was also recovered back to factory defaults on a separate occasion too.
Although I've seen the after effects of these "start-up" issues I've yet to experience them first hand whilst testing the device.
I did notice yesterday that the BIOS was out-of-date (as I got a Tempro alert).
I've upgraded it from 1.6 to 6.50. Again, I've not experienced any issues.
I can't find any release notes for the BIOS so I don't know if this is a known issue that has been fixed.
I'm not sure if this "intermittent" fault is just that or whether the user is holding the power button down too hard or for too long and in effect inadvertently crashing the NB herself.
Any suggestions welcome.
Failing that I guess I'll have to log a call with Toshiba.
On this virtual way it is not easy to say what is wrong there. In my opinion you should ask your client if you can do data back-up and install original recovery image. In my opinion notebook should be tested with ?factory settings? without some additional software installation.
> I'm not sure if this "intermittent" fault is just that or whether the user is holding the power button down too hard or for too long and in effect inadvertently crashing the NB herself.
Who knows? Ask with your client and show how to start notebook by pressing power button. It should be done gently and for one second only.

This recovery partition belongs to OS itself and has nothing to do with Toshiba recovery partition. If the recovery partition is deleted you cannot get it back.
Only thing you can do is to reinstall recovery image and use notebook with "factory settings" again.
In my opinion only option for you now is to order original recovery installation media - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
Hi everybody,
I have a problem downloading the amd graphic driver. I've tried it several times, on different days, computers and networks, but the download stops everytime around 120-170 mb.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks so far,
5 min ago I?ve tested AMD display driver for Win8 64bit version 8.982.7-120808a and everything went well.
Which driver version you want to download?
By the way it can be temporary server issue. Test it tomorrow again.
[SIZE=3I have recently acquired a pre-owned Satellite L850-B389 I have some questions and I was hoping I'd get some feedback. It comes with Windows 8.1 installed and I'm planning on changing to Windows 10 (note: clean install, not upgrade). Here are some inquiries I have in mind:
• I saw the drivers from the support page and it says that the drivers are compatible only for Windows 8.1 and earlier. Would the 8.1 drivers be enough or would work well with Windows 10?
• If there are updated drivers (for Windows 10), where can i find them? (I've been using DriverPack Solution recently and I noticed, its not accurate with some machines in some instances)
• Upon acquiring the unit, the internal BlueTooth module is being detected - I can tell because I can see the BT icon on the System Tray. But by the time I had it back from repairs, I noticed its no longer there. I tried upgrading and downgrading the drivers but to no avail. I mean, the Wireless LAN and BT are just one component, right? And I can still connect wirelessly.
What seems to be wrong?
Any idea that could shed light to these would be great. Thanks in advance, guys.
One of our schools recently brought 20 Toshiba L850 and C850 Laptops.
As most of the staff use their VGA port to connect to their projector, The VGA port needs to be strong.
Over the last few days we have had 2 Laptops with the VGA Port actually come away from the laptop!
A simple nudge on the cable while it is connected breaks this port, and we are unable to get a repair from Toshiba because it is our fault and is only 1 YEAR OLD!!.
Fixing this issue will set us back an entirely new mobo which will most likely be the cost to buy a new laptop.
Out of the 20 we brought we have had over half with faults within the first year of use. under EU regulations regarding the item of being merchantable quality and fit for purpose these issues should be repaired for atleast 3 years of purchase date. otherwise the item is unfit for sale.
Other issues we have had with these laptops within the first year of purchase have been Overheating, with Fans stopping.
We have had a Hard drive replaced TWICE with us having to purchase one our self's because Toshiba refused to replace as it was out of warrenty by 2 weeks. (warranty being only 1 year)
And finally a L850 that will not start. It stops at the Toshiba loading screen before even reaching the BIOS. ( faulty CPU or Memory ) Again this laptop breaking within 2 years.

Hello everyone
I have received an update yesterday from Microsoft update after the update was successfully installed i noticed that my PC account was not working and it says that i have to activate windows!
My windows 8 was already activated out of the box also 8.1 was activated with no problem.. I tried my old CD key which it came with the laptop its shows that my product key appears to be a default product key and cannot be used for activation!
Please i need help
I have no idea why your system activation needs to be repeated even if the Win 8 and Win 8.1 were activated properly in the past.
I think there must be some system bug. However, I would recommend you to check the Microsoft ?Get help with activation errors? page and to check the recommended workarounds.
Hopefully you would be able to fix it without recovering the system.
The point is that the preinstalled is already activated (or it activates automatically connection to internet for the first time) and Toshiba does not provide any serial keys in order to activate the system.

Hi at all,
I have this device : Satellite L850-1PD with Windows 10
Before, with Windows 8.1 the function key FN+F2 or FN+F3 it was ok, now with Windows 10 I have problems.
I can't increment or decrement Brightness
Help me !!!
good evening,
I also own a Satellite L850-1PD upgraded to Windows 10, it would appear that although Microsoft has provided an update to Win 10, Toshiba does not include it among the notebook compatible with Windows 10 and does not release updates. To me it does not work the pad until it has fully started Win 10, and I do not operate the touch pad.
The screen is black and all power is on. I have tried to adjust the display priority and to shut down and take out the batteri and all that.
How can I make a recovery, no CD or USB was included in the delivery. And to get in touch with Toshiba support is impossible.
Anyone who can help???
Hi There,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L850-1V8 with windows 8.1 64bit on it.
I experience the following problem: Some times when I boot the system the NT kernel process 'System' (PID 4) starts spinning, taking up 100% of a a single core.
This happens about 3-5 mins after the system comes up, but a few times I have seen it starting hours later.
I have to reboot the system to make this problem go away.
Has anyone experience such problem?
Any ideas where to start looking for a solution?
Such process can be related to any software / system application running in the background
But from my knowledge the NT Kernel & system could be generated by http.sys using the port 80.
This would mean that and would mean that some software part like IIS (internet Information services) could be responsible for this background process.
Hi guys,
I have a Toshiba L850-1K1 Notebook preinstalled Windows 8. I just wanted on a partition install ubuntu, but suddenly the installation was canceled (i dont know why), and than, when i wanted to restart windows 8, it wasnt gone.
I dont know why and how, but the partition was removed, and the whole winchester was deleted too. I have my produkt key, which I readed earlier from my notebook, but I cant download windows 8 nowhere. I really want to know, can I somewhere windows 8 for my notebook downloading, or I should bring it to a service?
Original Windows version cannot be downloaded. You have made mistake that you didn't create recovery media (USB or DVD) before you have started to make experiments.
Best option for you is to order original recovery disc for this notebook model.

I bought a 'refurbished' L850 1D5 from a CEX shop on eve of departure from UK. Unfortunately it kept crashing and autoreinstalling Windows too frequently for me to even start loading backed up user data from other pc and eventually the HDD stopped working completely, kaput. (not long after purchase, I discovered the SDslot didnt work, and Windows reported only half the 8GB memory stated on the paper label description on the lid, and in the Toshiba spec) While away I logged onto Toshiba Forums to enquire where the driver set is for my SKU. Before you suggest I throw more money after bad by add even more to the cost of what has been a rotten 2ndhand purchase, buying a Toshiba Windows Media DVD, I have already lost ?310 for a laptop unusable from the start, and so need to minimise any further expenditure repurchasing the Windows I already paid for.
Fortunately I made a note of the MS Registration KEY soon after purchase. Had it not been on eve of my flight, I obviously would have returned it for refund. Unfortunately all attempts overseas using variousPC's to download drivers failed. It turns out I guessed correctly, Toshiba downloads are region locked, as now I am briefly back in UK, downloads now appear possible.

Sorry to hear all this. Of course it is not the best opinion about Toshiba notebooks but the first thing I?m asked myself after reading your posting was: why they have bought these L and C models?
As every other notebook manufacturer Toshiba offers different models with different hardware platforms and different prices. Following my logic notebooks used in school must be pretty robust and designed to be more in use. If you compare notebook from series L and C with notebook series P for instance you will notice big difference in design, quality and workmanship.
Of course there is big price difference and I can imagine school have limited budget and must look to obtain machines but also save some money.
What else to say? It is really annoying to have such problems especially if you need those machines for work. My only advice for you is to pick up more info about notebooks next time. It can be Toshiba or any other notebook manufacturer. Best thing you can do is to contact your local dealer and check several different models. Pay attention about quality and design.
Bye and good luck

A few weeks ago that changed, and now when I plug in my headphones I only get audio through the R headphone. I have tried different pairs of headphones with the same result. When I use the headphones in other devices they work perfectly. Importantly audio plays in stereo through the laptop speakers when there are no headphones connected.
I have tried reinstalling the realtek audio drivers from the included cd, but am unable to find and driver updates on the toshiba website. I have also checked to make sure this isn't a settings issue, and am unable to find a cause. I really would like to be able to hear audio from both channels, and after trying everything I can think of and isolating the issue to just the audio jack; have a feeling there might be a dry solder issue on the audio out jack.
But I thought I would open up the issue to see if anyone else has any ideas I haven't thought of yet, that might quickly fix the issue, before I look the assumed long process of submitting a warranty claim.
I agree with you. This issue can be related to audio out port, especially if there is no problem with internal speakers and if they are working properly.
Let?s see what other people will post about that but what you can do at the moment is to contact nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask for help.
I would prefer one-finger scrolling along the right and lower edges of the touchpad (like my old Toshiba Satellite) but this Satellite Pro L850-1MJ has two-finger scrolling in the middle of the touchpad which is counter-intuitive (push up to scroll down) and more importantly means I have to hold my hand in a position which is killing my wrist.
If I go into mouse settings, I can switch on/off the various 'multi-finger' options relating to two-finger scrolling, and there is a separate option 'scrolling' - if I tick the box on I get a little graphic demonstration of one-finger scrolling, but it doesn't actually turn on the one-finger scrolling.
Can I get one-finger scrolling on this laptop? If so, how?
'Settings' tell me I have Synaptics TouchPad v7.5 on PS/2 Port and Synaptics Pointing Device v22.214.171.124 14 Aug 12
Any answers gratefully received, preferably before my wrist drops off!
I don't know which version and settings do you have but if Synaptic settings on your machine looks like this than don't use ?Two finger scrolling? and enable option ?Scrolling?.
Click on this option and on the animation you will see how it works.

Hi everybody,
I just would like to know if the drivers available for Satellite L850-16D under the title "windows 8 upgrade" are good also for a total fresh installation of windows 8 64 bit, or if they are only good for an upgrade to it from windows 7 64 bit.
The Win 8 Upgrade Assistant connects to an driver server and downloads the Win 8 drivers for the notebook.
This should function also with clean Win 8 installation.
But don?t forget to create a Toshiba Recover disk before switching to Win 8.
The recover disk allows you to go back to Win 7 if you would like to use the Win 7 in the future..
Ive had this machine for almost 3 years, it was fine for the first two but now its becoming a chore.
I only really ever use it to surf the internet and load some photos and its main problem is using the internet.
Images and web pages are extremely slow to load even on a good fast wired connection. Ive had the computer restored by a local shop who claimed they reset the graphics card but in reality they probably just restored it to factory minus the toshiba bloatware.
It worked fine for 2 days and then became slow again, im happy its not a virus or malware related problem.
Just wondered realistically if anything can be done with it or is it best to just forget about it and move on to something new.
Its been upgraded to windows 10 but the problem existed on 8 too.
Thanks in advance.
Try a Windows Refresh to reinstall Windows.
Previous drivers or browser plugins may be causing the problem
I just bought an L850 laptop but because I have little strenght due to disability it is hard to click my mouse buttons. Is there a way to soften them up (maybe even by opening the laptop and removing the spring)?
Thank you.
As far as I know you cannot change anything. On some machines touchpad buttons are simply harder and it depends on construction. I?m afraid you must live with it.Read other 2 answers
Hi guys
please can some help.
I have recently bought a Sat Pro L850-1DV laptop of the following spec
core-i5 2.5Ghz
WIN7 64bit with SP1
video driver = 18.104.22.16852
Directx version 11.0
The problem is that every time i insert a USB device, the screen goes blank. I then have to move the
mouse or tap a key to bring back the screen..... it is really annoying.
Please can someone help as to why this happens and kindly suggest a fix.
Hmmm..... never heard about it. Does it happen when you connect any kind of external device using USB port? I just want to know if this is some kind of ?general problem?.
Do you use original preinstalled Win7 or your own version?

Who knows what the problem can be but hopefully drivers will be available soon.
Hello to everyone!
Sorry if I'm wrong, this is the first time I write on this forum.
I try to briefly explain the problem: I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L850-1PD, which is five years old. To enhance the laptop, I decided to replace the old 500 GB mechanical HDD with a newer Kingston 120 GB SSD (I also checked the compatibility between SSD and the laptop).
However, now I have a problem: when I boot-up the PC, it takes longer than 5 minutes to be ready. After this time, it is possible to effectively see the improvement of SSD (the laptop is like reborn!)
Do you have any suggestions about this boot-up problem?
Thanks in advance!

Since I upgraded to Windows 10 the following occurs:
The laptop battery shuts down unexpectedly without warning the minimum level, although the battery is charged
I bought a new battery and it is exactly the same as the previous battery
What can happen?

Please help
I have a Toshiba Satellite model L850-1JR and I have the following problem:
From time to time, when you turn on the PC and spend a few minutes, the screen is completely black.
It seems that the operating system still works and I can not recover it. I happen to both with a battery and connected to the NETWORK.
Disconnect the PC by pressing the power button for a few seconds, remove the power cord and wait a few minutes. I put the cable back and proceed to start it, but it still does not work. The power LEDs if they work and the pc seems to start perfectly but without seeing anything.
Occasionally, when this happens, when the screen is moved the PC recovers and other times until it does not spend enough hours does not turn on the screen again.
Could you tell me what may be happening and / or how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much

Hi everybody,
I recently bought a second-handed Satellite Pro L850-1P7 in mint condition and upgraded it to windows 10.
Unfortunately there is a problem with the wifi (that I don't know if it appeared in the previous windows 8.1 installation).
When I press to connect to one of the available wifi networks, it fails every time and returns "can't connect to this network", regardless the signal shown (1/4 - 4/4) UNLESS I am really close to the wifi router.
The wifi module is a Qualcomm Atheros AR946x adapter (AR5B22), and I updated the driver to the latest one with no luck. I also tried some older driver versions. No luck either.
I chose "Maximum Performance" under "Wireless Adapter settings", and deselected the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" box under driver's Power Management tab.
Guess what? nothing happened. It still cannot connect to the wifi networks unless the laptop is close to the router.
My guess was that it is either a driver issue, or a malfunctioning wifi module, until I booted the laptop in Linux and everything worked absolutely fine. It connected to the wifi network in less than a second. So it must be a driver issue, or a "bad" setting.
Any idea would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Purchased just under 2 years ago. Came with Windows 8.0 Upgrade DVD.
I now wish to upgrade to Win 8 (then onto Win 8.1).
No matter what I try (BIOS changes) can?t get the DVD to boot. Under CSM boot (default for the laptop) it returns a ?non system disc? error.
I have tried the DVD in other PC drives which also results in the same error message.
Other disks eg Windows repair & Tosh recovery disks all boot OK.
So I think the disk must be faulty.
My question is has anyone else had this problem or even successfully upgraded using the Toshiba supplied DVD?. Getting hold of Toshiba to get replacement DVD seems an impossible task especially 2 years down the line.
Any suggestions?
First of all please go to BIOS and set it to default (load default) settings.
Then you should switch OFF the secure boot in order to be able to boot from external media like Disk or USB flash memory stick.
Here is an very interesting thread which provides an solution to similar booting issue using the Win 8 image.

There have been a number of books written about Disneyland over the years, but most do not focus on its creation and changes over the years.
Sam Gennawey's "The Disneyland Story: The Unofficial Guide to the Evolution of Walt Disney's Dream" (Unofficial Guides, $15), charts how the "Happiest Place on Earth" came to fruition and how it has changed over the years. It details design decisions, as well as how the park came to be in Anaheim and what plans were scrapped. Along the way, the book provides insight into Disney's life, work ethics and beliefs.
"I looked around and even though there are a lot of different Disneyland history books, there wasn't really one that was written in this sort of style and quite this comprehensive. And this is fun, it's like exploring the biography of a good friend," Gennawey said.
By day, Gennawey, a Los Angeles resident, is a senior associate at Katherine Padilla & Associates in Pasadena, specializing in strategic communications and community outreach for infrastructure and urban planning projects, as well as visioning for cities. Out of the office, he maintains the blog SamLand's Disney Adventure, is a columnist for MiceChat and has written several other books, including "Walt and the Promise of Progress City," (Ayefour Publishing, 2011) an urban planning look at the park.
Gennawey spent a year doing intense research for "The Disneyland Story," studying public and private archives and speaking with people across the nation.
"It was a matter of gathering all the facts, outlining all the facts in chronological order, and then from that point it was pretty easy. The story wrote itself," Gennawey said.
Gennawey uncovered many facts about Disney and his park, some well-known and others somewhat surprising.
For example, many people are aware that forced perspective is used throughout the park to make it feel more cozy and intimate. Visitors wandering down Disneyland's Main Street can easily see that the lower stories of the buildings are shorter than the height of normal structures. The second floors are even shorter, but appear taller because they are farther away and the third stories are even shorter with markedly smaller windows. Sleeping Beauty's Castle is the same with the stones on its outer walls becoming smaller as they reach the top.
A few of the more interesting things Gennawey learned was that New Orleans Square was originally designed to hide the Disneyland Hotel's tower. And in 1961, a study was done for California Living, which featured 12 houses representing different regions within the state. The homes would boast the latest technology and style. This idea never went further.
"The weirdest one was realizing that the Columbia sailing ship is actually full size. Everything else has been somewhat miniaturized in the park," Gennawey said.
It's true that the bunks in the ship are small, but so were the sailors during its time period.
Gennawey, who is as old as the Matterhorn, grew up in Whittier. His mother would often take him and his brothers to Disneyland and they would eat a picnic lunch at the car. Gennawey credits these early visits to the park as influential in his decision to become an urban planner.
Gennawey's favorite attraction is the Pirates of the Caribbean.
"I don't have to put 3D glasses on, it's timeless," Gennawey said. "It's very repeatable, it's lasted a long time."
Though it has changed over the years, with only a handful of attractions left from its original opening, Gennawey is always amazed by the nostalgia people have for Disneyland and how it reminds them of their childhood when they revisit.
"My hope is that the book will remind you of those changes and help celebrate those changes and bring back some neat little memories and certainly look at the park a lot different when you're done with it," Gennawey said.

New York, obviously, is one of those love it or hate it type cities. And I can't tell you how many people I talked to before arriving in New York — or heard babbling on radio shows — who hoped New York would fall on its face hosting Super Bowl XLVIII.
Or that the weather would get so out of hand, the mere thought of hosting a Super Bowl here would have been looked upon as an embarrassment and affront to mankind.
Well, here we are on Thursday of Super Bowl week and things are flowing just wonderfully. In fact, it looks like the conditions for Sunday will be perfectly fine for a football game. It will be cold, no doubt, but not ridiculous.
And I have to admit I'm getting some satisfaction that the Big Apple is shutting up the haters.
The call by the NFL was unconventional but prudent. The Super Bowl absolutely should be played in one of America's greatest cities.
And no apologies necessary.
"We're on the world's greatest stage with the biggest game," NFL Comissioner Roger Goodell said. "This is an opportunity for people to really shine in the way they have an opportunity to talk about their community, demonstrate the greatness of the game of football and we have two great teams."
WHAT BLOWS: Goodell was asked about the mounting uneasiness with the nickname "Redskins" for his team in Washington D.C., and part of his response certainly raised eyebrows.
"Let me remind you, this is the name of a football team, a football team that has had that name for 80 years and has presented the name in a way that has honored Native Americans,"
You can argue the NFL has a right to name its teams whatever it wants, but to infer the name Redskins in any way honors Native Americans seems a bit disingenuous.
And while honoring Native Americans might very well be the NFL's intent, referring to them as Redskins sure is an odd way to pay homage.
Just my opinion.
WHAT'S ON TAP TOMORROW: It's time for both teams to hunker down at his point, with the Broncos and Seahawks scheduled for light walk-throughs before retreating to their team hotels the night before Super Bowl Sunday.

The gospel-truth, if you believe most of the history books: Aretha Franklin didn't really find her true voice until she began working with producer Jerry Wexler at Atlantic Records in 1967.
"My idea was to make good tracks, use the best players, put Aretha back on piano and let the lady wail," Wexler wrote in his autobiography, "Rhythm and the Blues: A Life in American Music" (1994). Indeed, Franklin's 1967 Atlantic debut album, "I Never Loved a Man (The Way That I Loved You)," is considered a soul masterpiece.
But the Aretha before and after her soul golden age often gets short shrift. Anthony Heilbut offers, among other things, a reassessment of her pre-Atlantic era in a fascinating chapter, "Aretha: How She Got Over," from his latest book, "The Fan Who Knew Too Much" (Knopf). Heilbut knows his stuff; his 1971 book, "The Gospel Sound: Good News and Bad Times," is among the best ever written on the musical genre that is the foundation of Franklin's career. And "How She Got Over" outdoes Franklin's 1999 autobiography with David Ritz, "Aretha: From These Roots," for insight into the Queen of Soul's accomplishments. Heilbut argues persuasively that even before Aretha walked into a studio to record with Wexler, she had already begun to change the game for women, African-Americans and music culture.
Franklin's "role was such that a history of black America could well be divided into pre- and post-Aretha," he writes.
As the daughter of one of the most powerful ministers in America, Rev. C.L. Franklin, Aretha already had a platform at Detroit's New Bethel Baptist Church to showcase her extraordinary multi-octave, multi-hued voice.
At 14, she was not just recording gospel, but in harrowing testimonials such as "There's a Fountain Filled with Blood" imbuing it with drama and depth of feeling that were miles behind her years. Still, in her late teens she was touring the gospel circuit alongside the Staple Singers and Sammie Bryant second-billed to her father, the star preacher.
Franklin was raised in the church, and her voice embodied its passions, but the gospel world of the '50s was also bedeviled by infighting, jealousy and hypocrisy, Heilbut writes. The world that raised and shaped Franklin, he asserts, was also one "she had to escape."
She signed to Columbia Records in 1960, a move widely interpreted as her leaving gospel to pursue wealth and fame on the wider stage of pop. But unlike other gospel performers who "crossed over" into the "devil's music," such as Sam Cooke and Bobby Womack, Franklin got a pass. Her father approved of the changeover, and his voice carried immense weight with his numerous followers. Franklin herself made a persuasive case in 1961, when she framed her transition in the context of the emerging civil-rights movement, a viable means of expression that didn't repudiate her gospel roots so much as expand them.
Heilbut goes a step a further. He suggests that Franklin didn't bend to pop, so much as bend pop toward her: She "was really the first gospel star to switch fields without switching styles."
Decades of received thinking have told us that Franklin's Columbia years were something of a bust. Legendary talent scout John Hammond signed her with the aim of turning her into a sophisticated pop and ballad singer, taking on everything from jazz standards to show tunes in the manner of a Sarah Vaughan or Dinah Washington. None of the recordings she made at Columbia had the commercial impact of her later Atlantic soul singles and albums.
But the Franklin who would soar at Atlantic was already fully formed at Columbia, Heilbut insists. Her first Columbia session, documented on the 2011 box set, "Take a Look: Aretha Franklin Complete on Columbia" (Columbia/Legacy), produced "Today I Sing the Blues." Franklin's agile phrasing and relaxed-yet-intense delivery over gospel-soaked piano chords (played by Ray Bryant) points a straight line toward her breakthrough song with Wexler a few years later, "I Never Loved a Man (The Way That I Love You)."
With Ernie Hayes' swinging gospel organ and Gary Chester's counterpunching drums, Franklin pays tribute a few recording sessions later to Washington, one of her idols, on a swooping "Nobody Knows the Way I Feel This Morning." It's a performance every bit as riveting as anything she recorded with Atlantic – "one of the triumphs of her career," Heilbut says. She turns time elastic, emphasizing different words and syllables with each pass, a performance that still feels combustible decades after it was recorded.
That virtuosity – the "spirit feel," as Heilbut calls it – imbued a number of her Columbia sessions, as she transformed standards into deeply personal statements. Because of her background in the church – from improvising on the piano while her father preached to riffing vocally in response to an enraptured congregation – Franklin wasn't bound by the strictures of pop. Yet she was a pop connoisseur, conversant with the key nonsecular singers of the past and present (Billie Holiday, Little Jimmy Scott, even Judy Garland), and bringing nuances and inflections from each to her repertoire.
Her spontaneity was channeled into pop hits at Atlantic by the "head arrangements" favored by Wexler and the Southern rhythm section he imported to New York. Gospel undergirded her biggest hits, from the call and response of Otis Redding's "Respect" to the hymn-like depth she brought to her interpretation of the Dusty Springfield hit "Son of a Preacher Man."
In 1972, she released a live album of the gospel standards that shaped her youth, "Amazing Grace." It remains one of her best-loved and best-selling recordings. In his recent book, "Aretha Franklin's 'Amazing Grace'," critic Aaron Cohen calls the recording at New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles less a return to her roots than a reaffirmation of their continuing presence in her life and art.
The legacy, Heilbut says, is mixed – not because of anything Franklin did wrong. She remains one of the singular singers of our time, and also one of the most influential. But influence cuts both ways. Heilbut points to Franklin's dizzying melisma, her gospelized penchant for bending and stretching notes to delirious extremes, as the basis for "the new excess" of the "American Idol" generation of singers.
"Not for the first time in popular art," he dryly notes, "does very good seep into very bad."

Advising Guide for Students
- B.A. in Art History and Art Studio
- B.F.A. in Art Studio
- Minors in Art History, Art Studio and Museum and Gallery Methods
Why Art?
'The learned understand the theory of art, the unlearned its pleasure." (Quintilian, De Institutione Oratoria, AD c. 35-100)
"Art is a human activity, consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings, and also experience them." (Leo Tolstoy, What is Art?)
Truths, Myths and Expectations
Art is a path for students with a passion for the visual. There are also practical applications for the skills and knowledge acquired in the process. The intrinsic values of an education in art usually attract the student practitioner. Examples from the past of art and artists, basic skills appropriate to the disciplines and media, the ability to articulate ideas and inspirations visually and verbally, an awareness of the contemporary milieu with its heterodox issues and debates, and a culminating experience that confirms and reaffirms your progress and experiences as you move towards the degree are aspects of your courses in the department. In our traditional fine arts program you will be asked to explore the various art media at the lower division level: fundamentals courses, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography and a survey of the history and contextual weave of art making through time, seasoned with exposure to art from cultures outside the western mainstream. (See degree requirements in the current university catalogue). After the first two years of exploring different media and histories of art you will begin to chart a more focused course. Your last four semesters will provide the depth of study and experience you will need to begin to formulate your direction after graduation. The basic skills acquired in the courses that you work out in consultation with your advisor here will provide you with the means necessary for graduate study, entry into a teaching credential program, or professional careers within the arts.

Savage will probably make the trip.
Anyone making the trip this weekend?
Savage will probably make the trip.
I won't be. But I picked up a nice white C. Mart jersey at the Jets tent in Cortland for 20 bucks.
I won't be but I've never been more excited for a HOF weekend. Curtis is one of my all time favorite Jets.
I'm going to compute the longest way possible
then get there the slowest way possible making the
most # of connections
I'll drop my valise several times along the way
it's only fitting
I'll be in Canton Sunday for the Hall of Fame game. Would love to meet up with other JI people if they're gonna be there. Feel free to PM me. Even better if you live in the area bc I just moved and am trying to find some Jets fans there.
Leaving Saturday morning between 5 and 6am, hitting up the enshrinement and then finding somewhere to crash, then Sunday hitting up the hall and the game, then drive back or find somewhere to crash. Had a hotel, but the three guys I was going with one by one backed out and I can't afford the hotel by myself. Should be a good time regardless. Not throwing away 100$'s cause of them.

Income Investing
We are a direct response marketing agency launching an innovative and exciting targeted web sales / lead generation strategy for an investment fund.
Campaign Concept:
There's a wide audience of investors that are strongly focussed on Income from their investing. In the investment world, just as some investors juxtapose Shares vs Property, so too balance Growth vs Income outcomes in their investing. This campaign is directed at those investors (new or current) who's focus is Income Investing at this point in time.
Till now, popular Income Investing seems to focus mainly on high return cash accounts or term deposits, positively geared property, or on shares that typically pay high dividend returns (ie Tattersals). This Campaign is most likely targeting those people who already have a) a blue chip portfolio b) shares with high dividend yields or c) those in high return cash accounts or 2nd mortgage products. We would likely not be targeting those interested in bonds as they're suited to a slighly more sophisticated market and are somewhat cyclical in nature.
Key Message:
To explain and promote investment in the fund as a superior way to earn solid monthly cash flow returns – better than fixed income, better than bank, better than positively geared property, better than share dividends – and with less risk in some case.
35-65yr old Ma & Pa investors in an accumulation phase or transitioning to retirement phase, possibly with self managed retirement fund of $150k or more.
We require a unique and innovative logo design relevant to the campaign concept and target market.
The logo must use the following text:
"Income Investing"
What we expect
* Simple, attractive and contemporary design
* Clear and easy to read
* Colours used should be related to the concept
* Suitable for the online environment
* Needs to be transferrable across different mediums
* Logo to create a sense of confidence and legitimacy
* Please do not use any clip art or stock images in the logo

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) – The family of the serial rapist suspect apologizes for the suffering of innocent women. They told FOX 2 they're now putting their faith in the legal system to deliver justice for them and the victims.
RELATED: Wayne County Prosecutor Releases Timeline, Details Charges In Serial Rape Cases
"When he was just out here for the last two years, I really was just getting to know my son," said Yvonne Mack, the rape suspect's mother.
There were tears from a mother torn by evidence and emotion. Police believe her son, Raynard Coleman, is Detroit's serial rapist, tied to the crimes by DNA and the victims themselves. However, in her heart Mack doesn't want to believe it.
"I just don't know, no, I really don't. I just can't see him doing (anything) like that," Mack said. "I'm just shocked like they are."
