Shoppe Tips & Tricks!
Wednesday, May 5, 2010
Hi again! beckie here!
This week's installment of Shoppe Tips & Tricks is one to help you customize any kit to virtually any theme! This is one sure way to help stretch your scrapping dollars and get more out of the kits you purchase!
My 3 year old son Lawson is a super active sweet little boy who rarely stops moving long enough to play with toys! But he absolutely loves Matchbox color changing cars! I wanted to scrap a page to record this sweet little phase, but frankly, didn't want to buy an entire kit just for one layout. The solution? FREE fonts! Here's how it works:
1. Find a kit in your stash that has the right colors and papers to match your photos. I selected Smarshmallows because it had the perfect blues and reds for my boy layout!
2. Identify the theme item(s) you want to add. Since my layout is supposed to be about cars, I want to find a car (or two!) to add to my page.
3.Find a font! I like to search for fonts before I get started scrapping my layout because of all the ideas you can get from the variety of fonts available out there.
How to find fonts
I'm in the habit of starting at dafont.com, because I've used it in the past. However, you can google "free font" and a TON of sites will come up!
Each site has a search feature. Search for any and all keywords that apply to your theme. I searched for: "car", "speed", "fast". I could have also looked for related items, like "road", "street signs", etc.
I was SO excited with what I found! I found a dingbat font that has pictures of cars and another one that can be used to create a license plate effect! (The dafont.com site also has instructions on how to install fonts if you need them!)
If you found a dingbat font, you need to look at all the letters to see the complete list of all characters available. If you have Windows, you can do this by opening the "Character Map" program. From the windows start menu, go to Start–>Search and type in "character map". Voila! This pops up. Select your newly installed font from the drop down list. (I'm so sorry I don't know how this works on a Mac! I'd sure appreciate a comment below from anyone who knows, LOL!)
4.Put it together! Start assembling your page, incorporating some of the goodies you found. If you found a font perfect for making a catchy title, give your title prominent placement on your page!
For dingbat fonts, I like to create "stickers" from the shapes I selected to use them as accents. The sticker effect is simple using the "Stroke" feature in Photoshop!
- First, add the "text" (your dingbat image) to your layout in the selected color in a large font size.
- Now, we need to "rasterize" the text. This changes the layer from something Photoshop sees as text to something it sees as a picture. Simply right click on the layer in the layers palette and select "Rasterize Type".
- Now go to Edit–>Stroke. You'll see the menu below. Click on the color box and you'll get a color picker tool, that you can use to select any color from anywhere on your layout. I usually pick the predominant neutral color (white, off white, etc) from my page. Then, set the size of the stroke. Start with 15 or 20, then click "OK". If you don't like the effect – the color is wrong, the size of the border isn't what you want, just hit "CTRL+z" to undo the change, then go back to Edit–>Stroke and change the values. Keep tweaking until you get something you like. Ta-Da!!
Here's the layout I created! Click on the layout if you want to see complete credits (and font names) – but I used a free dingbat font for the race car, added a stroke and then a shadow. And how perfect is that fun swirly as the dust behind the racecar?! I also used a font to create the license plate – it was super easy! I added a square of paper behind the font and cut out little ovals for the screw holes to finish off the license plate effect.
So that's it! I hope you find these tips helpful for customizing your favorite kits! If you try it out, please share your layout with us as we'd LOVE to see your work in the "Look what I made!" section of our gallery!
Oh – and I am using Photoshop CS2 on Windows Vista – so if you have any questions/issues for other versions, please just post a comment here and someone on the Shoppe Team will try to help!

I am extremely frustrated with trying to find decent sheets that don't cost an arm and a leg. My goodness, I used to be able to buy very nice ones from Walmart or Target. Now, at least from Walmart, their 100% 300 thread count cotton sheets have a very itchy feel to me. What happened to buying percale cotton/poly sheets (entire Beds in a Bag, too) of 180 thread count that were very smooth and washed up beautifully? (I still have a Bed in a Bag set like that that we bought when trying to sell the view house and it is still fabulous.) I just bought a 280 TC from bed, bath, and beyond. Washed and dried, put on the bed. They are not soft and they, too, seem itchy. I've looked online at amazon and overstock, was going to purchase a set from overstock yet the first few reviews had many "these sheets aren't soft" posts so I decided against it. The few sheet sets I have found, like egyptian cotton, are minimally $80 and above. Do I really have to spend so much money to buy what I would think would be nice, every day sheets? Anyway, any advice will be greatly appreciated. | |||
I have Egyptian cotton sheets and I did spend close to $100 for them... on sale! I want new ones and looking for a sale now, I found some different sheets over the years, and this EC ones are the BEST for me, so soft and the feel is great. Buy what you LOVE to sleep in, you spend a 1/3 of your life touching sheets (sleeping) anyway. Save your money by not buying something you don't want or won't be happy with, then when you find the sale price, buy two! Good luck with your search! | ||||
I got some of those itchy sheets as well -- drove me crazy and this Gray Thursday at Target they had some high thread count sheets for $35 so I bought them and they are wonderful!!!! I didn't pay attention to the brand (so don't know if they carry this particular brand all the time or it was a GT special buy) but they are very soft after a month's worth of washing. I have two bedrooms and queen beds in each. I use white bedding and so the sheets can go on either bed. Saves shelves in the linen closet for sure -- Does anyone remember the top sheet that was fitted? My mother had some when I was a teen. Martha | ||||
try qvc - northern nights brand - I've owned several different sets for at least 7 yrs, no color fading, range of thread count, colors, flannel, cotton, etc. | ||||
I have a set of flannel sheets that I bought at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for many years now (close to 10) and they are still great. They are the only sheets during the winter. I have a cotton set from TJMaxx or Marshall's and again, only set for the summer and they've been on for a couple years and they're still great. Those are a sateen weave and I 've never had that before. They are very soft. Didn't think they'd be very durable, but they are. Jan is time for white sales and clearances, so keep your eyes open. ~~~becca~~~~ | ||||
I mentioned this before...so it really is not much help...just fun! A few months back I realized that our one set of sheets in the rotation belonged to DH when I met him....40 years ago!!!! I am very slow to change | ||||
QVC has a Northern Nights Special Value today. Thought that was ironic. I might try one of those. Funny, growing up, we never had any flat sheets. I was in high school before I knew that flat sheets came with a set and that was only because I visited my aunt and admired the sheets she had put on my bed there so she took me shopping for a set of sheets. I don't think my mom bought new sheets for us at all the whole time I was growing up. | ||||
What's with the microfiber sheets, too? The Beds in a Bag I bought for my kids have those and while they are certainly smooth (probably not itcy), I wonder if they are really comfortable to sleep in. I saw some microfiber sheets at Marshalls last night, too. | ||||
I'm with you on the cotton/percale sheets, where did they go? I found some a year or so ago at Kohl's (on line). Think I paid $35-40 for a set of cal king sheets. They are by far my favorites. They come out of the drier wrinkle free and feel great on the bed, never scratchy, just good old fashioned comfort. Cathy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Grandchildren are God's gift to you for not killing your own! We don't stop playing because we grow old...we grow old because we stop playing | ||||
If you have a Tuesday Morning nearby, you may find some awesome sheet sets like we did. The best ever we have found in years. Top quality and designer names at bargain prices. No seconds. | ||||
I've been getting mine at Sam's Club recently. 800 thread count Egyptian Cotton, Queen set around $60.00 | ||||
My advice is that yes, good sheets are expensive, but a good set of sheets will last a very long time. There are three things I consider with sheets. 1. The fiber content. Cotton is the best for sheets as cotton is absorbent, and it breaths, which makes it comfortable. Look for 100% cotton sheets. (I am leaving out fibers like linen etc which are more unusual and expensive and could be talked about another time) Not all cotton is created equal. Pima cotton and Egyptian cotton are types of cotton plants that grow long cotton fibers. Longer fibers make smoother threads that are then used to weave fabric. I tried to find an illustration of this but I couldn't, so just imagine a bunch of short little fibers being twisted into thread. Imagine all those little short ends sticking out everywhere. Threads made from short fibers are what make sheets itchy. (and recycled or reclaimed fibers are always short, as they get shopped up in the process of being reclaimed) Long fibers twisted into thread have fewer little short ends, and so the fabric woven from them feels smoother. Another way to imagine this is to think of long hair braided into a long smooth braid, versus layered hair braided into a braid with little hairs sticking out all over. One is smooth, one is not. So the smoothest, most comfortable cotton sheets are made from 100% Pima or Egyptian cotton. 2. Then you consider the weave. Percale is a type of weave. It means that the fabric is tightly woven which produces a smooth crisp finish, and a long lasting, strong, higher quality fabric. Sateen is a weave that is also strong, and it produces a luster or sheen to the finished fabric. It also produces a subtle nap that is not crisp and smooth, but is soft. I personally prefer percale sheets as I love that old fashioned, crisp smooth feel, but either weave is good. 3. And the last thing to consider is the thread count. Thread count means how many threads are used in one square inch. They count the horizontal threads (the weft) and also the vertical threads (the warp). So a fabric with 100 weft threads and 100 warp threads will be a thread count of 200. A good range for sheets is 200 - 400. You can go higher if you want, but I am sure you can see that because super high thread counts are still counted within the threads per square inch standard, at some point the threads are going to have to get thinner, or the weave will have to get super tight. Really thin threads can be weak, and super tight weaves can be rigid and stiff. So when I am buying sheets I go for 100% Pima or Egyptian cotton, in a percale weave, with a 200-400 thread count. I can always find them at Bed, Bath and Beyond, but I really have to sort through the shelves. I don't think it really matters where you buy them. I always have my eye out for bargains at discount stores, and sales. Just remember to check fiber content, weave and thread count. As far as price goes, If I can find a set for my king bed for $80.00 or under I celebrate with a happy dance. A good set of sheets should last many years, and contribute to comfortable nights of sleep, and so to me they are worth the investment. Whew! Long post. Sorry about being so windy, but I love this topic. | ||||
cocok, Thank you for the great description! I am saving this for my files and resource for later! | ||||
http://www.brylanehome.com/dec...5170&ProductTypeId=2 I have had good luck with the above sheets from Brylane Home. I bought the X Deep version (last ones on the page) and they are a cotton/percale mix. I was concerned about the softness but as pleasantly surprised. *Debi* ~*Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence*~ | ||||
I have always been satisfied with cotton sheets at JCPenney. I hope they haven't changed anything the next time I need to buy bedding! | ||||
I don't know what part of the country you are in, but I bought some fleece sheets at Cost*co this fall and I am IN LOVE with them!! They are sooooo soft and cozy and they aren't cold when I go to bed! For the warm months, I use the t-shirt aka jersey sheets. They are like wearing your most comfy tee shirt and they don't pill like flannel sheets or even some cotton sheets sometimes do. Good luck on your quest. Candy | ||||
On the microfiber sheets? I bought some expensive ones on what I thought was a good sale and really liked the feel and sheen to them, so we bought a set for DH's father too. I gave up after a week of sleeping on them, as I found them to be too warm and not breathe like 100 percent cotton. Clincher was they started to pill after a couple of washings to we got rid of them. Would not even use them on a guest bed! One thing I now look for on packaging is when the fitted sheet is an inch or two longer and wider than standard queen. Kind of hard to find, but the more expensive you go, the more common. They are SO much easier to put on the bottom mattress. | ||||
Wow, thank you all for your wisdom. Cocok, especially yours. I didn't know half of the things that you mentioned. I always thought percale was a cotton/poly blend, the 180 TC upgraded sheets which were always soft and comfortable and washed up so nicely, no wrinkling, etc. The lessr quality sheets were muslin at what, 118 TC, I think. I am still somewhat devastated at the sheet thing. I don't think I ever mentioned this but I really had a linen "problem" when I was a little younger. Some women like shoes, I like linens. I think that's what's so disturbing about not being able to find sheets now that I like when every set I bought before, I really liked and they were so comfortable. $20 to $35 at Target or Walmart or Mervyns (like a Kohls), and I was just queen of the bedroom (when it came to linens). I kicked the habit a few years back (trying to cut down on clutter). Ok, so last night I went back to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and bought an egytian cotton set, 400 TC, percale. Washed them and put them on the bed and had no problem with them. They were comfy, not as soft and smooth as some I've had in the past but they were nice enough that I wasn't botheed by them. I guess the TC has been confusing me, too. Back in the day, when 180 TC was king, I always found the sheets to be so nice. But the last two sets of all cotton sheets I bought were 300 TC (long fibers, the package said) and I don't know if I just had some sort of allergy to the cotton or what but the first set I bought, washed, and put on the bed about drove me out of my mind. They were sort of smooth but they made my skin itch/crawl to the point where I had to get up and change the sheets back to my previous set, which I think was a 300 TC but smooth. I bought another 300 TC set at Walmart right after that and it was a similar but not quite as drastic experience. I tell you, I about cried. So now you know all about my sheet confusion. I still don't understand why "they" thought such a change in sheet making was for the better. I totally agree about the thread count, too, with thinner threads being used for the higher count sheets. It just doesn't make very much sense to me. I did buy QVC's special value sheets the other day, too. Gee, I just can't get over having to spend $80 for a decent set of sheets when it wasn't like that just a few years ago even taking into account inflation or whatever. But I need some new sheets as two of my four sets have tears in them. A couple of years ago, I bought a alternative comforter from Anna's Linens because I got rid of my down comforter from QVC. It wasn't warm enough so I bought a second down alternative comforter from Anna's Linens. I think the package said it had a cotton cover (not a separate cover). WHatever it is, it's yummy, very soft and smooth and cool to the touch. I just love it. I wish I could find sheets made of that same material because it is wonderful. Ok, enough of a book for now. Thanks for listening. :-) | ||||
another recommendation for sams club sheets. good value for the price | ||||
A very timely topic for me as I'm about to buy new sheets for our Master Bedroom. Thank you for starting this discussion. I have learned a great deal in reading the responses. Cocok, thank you for the explanation. I am saving this to my files. I always knew that I liked 100% Cotton Sateen, but never truly understood the thread count issue. I was just told that purchasing anything above a 500 thread count was a waste of money. Now I understand because you took the time to explain. | ||||
For the past several years I've been buying my sheet sets at Sam's Club for $50 and they're wonderful. 100% cotton and no wrinkles. I need a fitted sheet that fits an 18" deep mattress and these fit great. | ||||
I just purchases some 600 thread count egyptian cotton sheets! On Sale/King for 79.00. Love the deep pockets and elastic on all sides to cover the mattress entirely. Sams Club sheets rock! "In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt" | ||||

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
A little pricey for what you get. I love these hair bands and ties for the gym because I can work out then take them out and there aren't any hair tie bumps in it! Love the fun colors, too.
I don't get the trend of hair bands with knots. You can definitely see them.
I got one of these and it didn;'t last very long.
I recently received the twistbands in the mail and I love them. I already had some of the little ones but wanted to add more to my collection. They are great because they don't pull your hair which is a huge plus in my book and then the headbands are just as great and I don't feel like my head is being squeezed like some regular head bands do.
I adore these headbands. They look great with many hairstyles. I wear them most often when I work out. I wear them on long runs, during Cross Fit, and yoga. And unlike other headbands I've tried in the past, I don't get a headache. If I position them in the right spot on my head, they do stay put (if I wear them too far back from my hairline, they tend to slip). I wore one for a 10 mile run yesterday and it barely moved! (I have straight hair and most hair accessories tend to slip off after a while.) The only thing I don't like is that the hair ties tend to stretch out after 1 use, but I guess given the material, that's to be expected.
I really liked the headbands! They work well for keeping hair out of my face on the beach or at the pool. They don't seem to stay on my head while I work out, but I wasn't too surprised by that - I have never found a headband that doesn't slip off when working out!
I'm using twistbands pretty much exclusively these days. They keep my hair out of my face without leaving a pesky dent. What more could you ask for? The fun neon colors are just a bonus!
I have very thick, coarse hair, and I don't feel like this did much for me. It was more of a decoration, rather than a functional headband. But, maybe that's just me.
I love the colors in this set! They're bright and fun! I did find that the headbands slipped back occasionally, but not nearly as much as other bands I've tried. They also seem very gentle on my hair!
The ponytail holders didn't hold up but the headbands are nice. I will be purchasing some different brands of these to see if others hold up better.
I love this set!!! What really caught my attention, was that theses colors were so bright! (perfect for summer) They are thicker than some of the previous twistbands I have purchase, but they still do their job. My hair is just past shoulder length. They look great and I have never had any problems with them slipping out!

The FA has welcomed new Government plans to transform primary school sport with a £150m-a-year investment.
Prime Minister David Cameron unveiled proposals on Saturday that will improve coaching for the youngest pupils and inspire the sporting stars of the future.
The aim is to build on the inspirational success of London 2012, when Wembley played its part as a host venue to more than 600,000 fans and The FA backed the Team GB football teams at the Olympics and Paralympics.
Alex Horne, General Secretary of The FA, said: "The FA welcomes today's announcement and the Government's commitment to invest directly into sport within Primary schools.
"Making sure boys and girls of all abilities receive quality physical education at the earliest ages is essential and football can play a key part in meeting this challenge.
"Our FA Tesco Skills Programme is a great example of a quality coaching course that provides children between the ages of five and 11 with the opportunity to develop their broad physical literacy whilst learning and enjoying the basic skills of our national game.
"We are delighted that it has been independently recognised and accredited by afPE (Association for Physical Education) and we hope that head teachers will consider it an attractive and quality assured option to help deliver sport in their schools."
As well as helping to promote and further initiatives like The FA Tesco Skills Programme, the new sports funding aims to improve the quality of provision in every state primary school in England.
It includes a lump sum for each school with a per-pupil top-up and also 'ring-fenced' funding that will have to be spent on sport that could include specialist coaching and teacher training.
Schools will have to show how they spend the money to ensure it brings the maximum sporting benefit for pupils.
The Prime Minister said: "The Olympic and Paralympic Games marked an incredible year for this country and I will always be proud that we showed the world what Britain can do.
"I want to ensure the Games count for the future too and that means capitalising on the inspiration young people took from what they saw during those summer months.
"With this new approach to sport, we can create a culture in our schools that encourages all children to be active and enjoy sport, and helps foster the aspirations of future Olympians and Paralympians."
FA hails primary school sport plan

Fantasy Island: Week 16 Preview (and the Announcement of our Winner!)
By Matt Borcas atThe fantasy football season isn't quite over, but as of this week, the Fantasy Island competition is. After 16 weeks and a very tight race, we're pleased to announce that Matt Borcas has won a spot as our fantasy football writer. This week is Matt's soft open of sorts, and when it comes time for rankings and previews next summer, everyone will get a full introduction as we start ramping up to the season. Thanks again to everyone who participated in this year's competition, and to those who've read.
One hundred years after the sinking of the Titanic, another overblown, too-big-to-fail enterprise — the Philadelphia Eagles — is crashing and burning, and Andy Reid insists on bringing fantasy owners down with him. Case in point: On Wednesday, Reid announced that despite LeSean McCoy's return to the starting lineup, he would employ the dreaded three-way split between McCoy, Bryce Brown, and Dion Lewis.
It didn't have to end this way for the Eagles. Their skill position players were meant to carry fantasy teams to championships, not to the first overall pick in next year's draft. But as Reid spends his final days in Philadelphia brooding like Captain Edward John Smith, owners of McCoy and Brown are left to fend for themselves.

The interface is fun and customizable, and the player is packed with features including video playback, a great FM radio, support for subscription music and Datacasts, and a plethora of sound enhancement options.
The bad: The touch screen of the Samsung P2 is not always precise, and the lack of tactile controls may not appeal to all users. There's no memory expansion option, and it's pricey.
The bottom line: The Samsung YP-P2 is an excellent-sounding MP3 player that will appeal to those looking for a cool touch-screen interface and stereo Bluetooth capability.

Review from Canada
by DuckInA.Pond on November 1, 2007
Pros: Design, touch screen, GUI, performance, and bluetooth.
Cons: A lot of fingerprints and smugdes, scratches but not a lot, slow, no Wi-Fi may also be a let down for some.

It really looks nice and was smaller than expected. The GUI looks really nice but won't look good with your own pictures uless they are dark. Sound is pretty good as well as video. The side button are OK but it makes it impossible for one-hand operation, but I'm okay with that. Easy to use espacially if you've used touch screens before. Using bluetooth is quite simple, too. It's great that I can answer calls without touching my phone. Most dissapointing thing though it that sometimes it lags and is slow, and the GUI can get old a tiresome after a while, no matter how nice it looks. Overall excellent player, highly reccommended of you're looking for something that isn't from Apple.10 out of 10 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: So ive owned the p2 for about a week now and im very glad of this product, the 2gb costs nearly the 4gb of the new ipod nano and this mp3 believe me is much better.
I want to say that this mp3 is not a clone of the ipod touch, for you smartheads out there saying that it is. this was announced before the ipod touch, apple rushed with giving out the ipod touch because an touch screen mp3 player would make evreyone suprised.
I agree with the score that cnet put because when the p2 came out, it had unresponsive touch screen, it wasnt this cheap and it didnt have half the features it has now after the second wave. let me give a full review.
Note that this is my first review of anything ever so please be kind when commenting. And another thing i live in Sweden so dont expect evreything to be spelled exactly right.
Right now on to the review
The design is absoulutley gorgeous. it looks sleek and nice, my friends were absoulutely amazed when they first saw how it looked. but still its a fingerprint magnet and it can be annoying when theres alota light that reflects on the screen because you cant see, but there have to be ALOT. The buttons on the sides is pretty good for using it without taking it out of youre pocket. it feels more comfortable in hand because of the size and the little extra weight that it has ( note its still lighter then the Touch)
The cosmos menu system is amazing, it looks so good and my friends were like WOW when they saw it. you can put the my skin or matrix menu to show the background picture more. the ui isnt as fun as the ipod touches for cycling through photos and stuff but still pretty good. It uses double tap wich can be annoying sometimes and sometimes a blessing. The icons after the 2nd wave look much better and 3d like now. The touch screen is very responsive now so that is something you dont have to think about. By the way its now multi-touch like the touch so that can maybe be something that people want to have. I still love this mp3 with the Uni-Touch for rotating and doing stuff.
The firmware updates that is always coming to the p2 is the biggest ever made for an mp3 player. They are adding alot of stuff evrey time. let me put some sections.
It sounds Nice with the Dnse 2.0, It has 10 Eq presets and an custom Eq with 7 bands (2 more than the normal number) and a 3D and bass setting. It has street and clarity modes wich fixes upp the music alot.
You can make 5 playlists on the go pretty fast.
New:in the second wave the album art and visuals have gotten bigger, Theyve put a neat feature here that you can view Lyrics that is very nice. They've added A-B And Play speed wich can be useful sometimes. You can now cycle through album art.
Fm Radio:
It has an inbuilt Fm radio with the best response iv'e ever seen. it has 30 presets and a very good scanning mode. Sadly you cant do anything else while listening to the radio.
New: you can Fm record
You can use this to connect to bluetooth headphones. Cutting the cord is pretty nice but the radio cant be used with this because it uses the cord of the headphones normally for the reception.
New: Now you can connect to a phone through bluetooth and answer calls and talk in it with the mic on the bottom of the P2. You can file transfer too without any restrictions so you can get all the songs youre friends have on their phones.
The video lookes so good and colorful on this Lcd. It is just fun to watch episodes and it has bookmarks for the video.
New: nothing new that im aware of.
Pics looks gorgeous on the p2. The lcd is so cool and you can do a hortizonal stroke with the finger to change between them, annoyingly theres a time lag for this.
New: You can now rotate the pics and zoom in them with touch gestures. And crop them for background images.
This is like podcasts but not live. This downloads rss feeds through Samsung media studio evreytime you connect it to the pc after putting some sites there.
Prime Pack (Extras):
It has a text viewer that is pretty good you can make the fonts bigger. A world clock, Calendar , adress book so that you can call from the p2.
New: theyve added 3 pretty fun games, The text viewer can now be rotated, changing the backgrounds and font color for better viewing. An alarm have been added.
As you see many features have been added to the p2 to make it better.
Well this is the end of my review. I hope it will help you buying this product. im utterly happy with mine and i think that you will be too. Thanks for reading
Best regards/ Syrish
Ps. i just put the ipod touch in comparison because many are confused between those two and they're often compared. Dont tell me that the touch is better after jailbreak and bla bla bla because that is not how it came fabriced. I think both of them are good mp3 players and pretty nice actually but i just wanna break the habit of buying ipods for the premium price when there's alternatives out there7 out of 7 users found this user opinion helpful.
Great design but has some flaws
by afakirani on November 29, 2007
Pros: Form factor, features, sound quality
Cons: Video playback, touchscreen sensitivity

Already I can pinpoint a few problems with the player and some great advantages. I'll begin with the cons and move on the the pros of the device. The software that's provided with the device is slow and not very user friendly. Moreover, there is very little you can do in the way of options or customization with the interface or features. Converting video is a pain! I'm a pretty proficient computer user with years of experience with peripheral devices including varioud MP3 players and PDAs, but I tried numerous times with numerous file types and file sizes but could not get the file to transfer to the player and play. The device is very limited in terms of video playback and though it is primarly and audio player, video should be just as big an asset on such a beautiful screen. I'm still trying to figure out how to transfer videos and I might just have to call Samsung for assistance. The other disadvantage to point out is it's touchscreen. The touchscreen is not accurate what so ever. On numerous occasions, I had to repeat my inputs to get the player to perform the desired actions. The bright LED light at the bottom of the device is nothing more then decoration and doesn't serve any practicle purpose. It would have been nice if it would be used as a "home" button like on the Touch.
On the plus side, this is an audio player and the sound quality therefore should be the most important thing. I'm happy to report that the sound quality is bar none. Samsung's sound engine technology is really impressive. If you're an audiophile, this MP3 player can't be beat (take that iPod!). The look of this palyer is also a huge pro. It's sleel and stylish and is the perfect size for everyday use being neither to big or to small and the player does have a nice heft to it. The screen is bright, clear and crisp. The included videos on the MP3 player played beautifully (if only I could get mine to work) and the included pictures were displayed beautifully. The GUI is nice, but I'm hoping that in time Samsung will release more options for themes and icons. The music player itself is well designed with many visualization effects including album art and track info. My favorite feature of this device and the primary reason I bought this over other players is the P2's ability to navigate through files through a file browser. I sort my music by folders and for me accessing that folder hierarchy is important becuase it's how I organize my music. The automatic library features of most MP3 players (including the iPod) really pisses me off becuase often, my music files are not properly organized because of missing ID3 tags. With the file browser I can organize my music how I want.
Over all the player does music very well but I'm still trying to figure out how to transfer videos. The touchscreen is a little bothersome but I blame that on a necessary learning curve and besides, the many dedicated tactile controls really ease the operation of the device.7 out of 8 users found this user opinion helpful.
Bluetooth GREAT but player has flaws
by kaos4u2nv on November 27, 2007
Pros: bluetooth, sound quality, bright display, long battery life

Summary: First off, I don't see why people who haven't even had this player in their hand are rating this product already. I bought it then less than a week later sold it on amazon. This is a nice player, no doubt. Bluetooth, sound quality, bright display, stylish, what more could you ask for? Well, how about an accurate touchscreen? It seemed I had to keep repeating my strokes or touching an icon multiple times just to get it right. Frustrating. When using the radio you can't use your bluetooth headphones. When i put my images it had no feature to rotate them so I could not put a nice picture in the background because it was always the wrong way. I hated the samsung studio software (the application to sync your player). It took up a lot of memory, is a bit slow on transferring files, and I couldn't figure out how to convert video files into the right type for the player. I thought it would do it automatically but when I opened up the player to see the video it would freeze on me. I wish Windows Media Player, Samsung, Winamp, or any other application would do something like the iTunes backwards delete mode. If I delete something off my library then it is automatically deleted when I sync my iPod. The player does not have the option to delete the file without the use of a cpu, so you can imagine having to hook it up then search through the over 1,000 songs I had loaded on there to delete a couple files I didn't want anymore. So, overall it's an outsanding piece of device. However, it is definitely lacking some user-friendly features or at least some where people with only average computer knowledge can work at it without hacking or changing things. Definitely not for those who have a large library...good for working out though when I did it with my bluetooth headphones!

Summary: The player is actually quite small for something with a screen this size. I love the simple, clean cut design. The player isnt as wide as the ipod touch so it can be operated using one hand (unless you're trying to get the side buttons). Sound quality is great and the 9-band user EQ is a huge plus. The screen is very crisp too.
Another nice thing is that you can drag&drop files. Although there is a program called Samsung Media Studio, you can use the player perfectly well without it. I only use it to convert videos to SVI format,
The UI needs some getting used to. I thought it was very inaccurate and unresponsive until I fugured out a "technique" for using it. You have to use the tips of your fingers for more precise input. Now I get much less errors during input, although there still is the occasional mistake.
Overall, this is a great alternative the iPod touch.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.
Basic review on Samsung YP-P2
by tomahawk23 on May 7, 2008
Pros: Sound System, Features, Bluetooth Function, User Interface, Long Battery Life, Great Video Quality
Cons: So far there is none for Samsung P2 but it does hang
Summary: Samsung's latest mp3 based on the Intuitive Touch Screen-YP-P2. It is considered one of the latest and as well as with the best design among all Samsung mp3 players....
Summary: Samsung's latest mp3 based on the Intuitive Touch Screen-YP-P2. It is considered one of the latest and as well as with the best design among all Samsung mp3 players.
Basically this mp3 is so called of a counter to the Apple Ipod Touch. But if the comparisons made between iTouch and P2, the winner will be P2 instead of iTouch.
Firstly, in terms of design and interface, I can say 100% that iTouch will be the top rated among the mp3 players so far in the market. But on the other hand if talking about features, sound system, battery condition, well, P2 will be more outstanding.
P2 generally is a very normal mp3 player which doesn't come with the built-in WI-FI. But just imagine wad for do you really need a WI-FI? You can't use it if you are not in any access points or using the Wireless@SG. So that means actually it doesn't really serve the function for an mp3 to have the WI-FI. You are paying the price to listen to songs or watch some video clips, not paying the price to use Wireless Internet Access!
On the other hand about the sound system, so far in the mp3 market there are only 2 brands with the best sound produced. One of them is iRiver, while the other is Samsung. iRiver is using the SRS(Surround Sound) effect while Samsung is using their own DNSe(Digital Natural Sound Effect). Comparing to mp3 players like iPod, Sony and Creative, their sound systems are way too far from Samsung's DNSe technology. Their sound is just the built in normal equalizers, which every mp3 players will have it, even Samsung. But, for Samsung's sound, they provide you with the enhanced EQ Quad Band and as well as the 3D and Bass enhancement. These may not look very appealing, but it sounds superbly when you adjust the different sound system. It's just like if I want more bass for this or that song, I can actually set the bass to medium or max, rather than selecting Classical, Rock, Jazz or Pop these standard and fixed EQ. For an mp3 player, the most important thing is to hear the sound and not the looks. Definitely iPod and Sony mp3 players have nice design and colours, but what's the point of buying that just for the looks, might as well get the dummy set and look at it for 24hrs, but if you get any Samsung mp3 or the P2, you can hook up your earpiece for 24hrs for the beautiful and soothing sound system!
Talking about the features of P2, it comes in varieties. What does an iTouch have? Music, video, photos and WI-FI. That's all! But what does P2 has is with the additional radio, radio recoding, Bluetooth, flash games, text files and alarm clock as well. For music, it supports MP3 and WMA format, doesn't need to convert to AAC or whatever other formats. That simple for music. For videos, the P2 supports either the SVI or WMV format. For these 2 formats i need to clarify clearly as i saw some users who doesn't really know how to convert the video files.
There is this function known as the Datacast as well. Similar to Podcast, users can syn RSS Feeds from internets or syn stuffs like CNN new or the BBC news or whatever and so on. For people who listen to Podcasts, the Samsung P2 comes with it as well. No doubt.
First of all for WMV format, it can only read WMV codec 9 and not any other codecs. So far I haven't seen any codec 9 for WMV released in the internet. While for the SVI format, it's very simple. That's the format you can simply convert your video files into and playback on your P2. The converter is provided to the consumer free when purchased the P2 and it is actually in the Samsung Media Studios itself. For video converting, do not plug in your mp3 into the computer first! Import your video files into the video tab under the Samsung Media Studios. The video files that it supports for converting are:
1) .avi
2) .mpeg
3) .wmv
4) .asf
5) .rmvb (real media video)
6) .svi
7) .mp4
8) .smf
9) .mov
You can import any of these 9 video formats in for conversion. And for the video quality the bit rate and the frame rate can be set up to user's choice. For a normal 1hr30mins .avi movie to convert to .svi format, it can go to min 150+MB but stil with high quality playback. That's the advantage of the video converter. While for iTouch or any iPods, the video can only support the common .avi or the .mp4 format which is very big in terms of file size. What I suggest is, if you do not know anything about video conversion or the video sub codecs, then don't get the iPods because there's nothing free in the world unless you can find cracks to those applications.
The built in Bluetooth technology is very advanced for Samsung as it saves those people who do sports and they want to listen to music at the same time. The Bluetooth function serves 3 usages. One of them is the wireless music streaming which the user can listen to songs without using any earpieces. The other usage will be making phone calls using the BT. This sounds crazy but ok it definitely works. As long as your handphone's Bluetooth pairs with the P2, any time you can make use of P2's Bluetooth to call out or receive calls. While the last function of the Bluetooth is that it can send songs directly from mp3 to handphone or handphone to mp3. Regardless of any phones. And one most IMPORTANT thing to clarify, when listening to radio, the Bluetooth doesn't work! As radio is streaming through infra-red technology while only songs and video can be stream via the BT for P2.
While the user interface is totally touch screen with the on/off button, volume and the hold button at the side only. Downloading of songs, pictures and videos and etc is all done by copy and paste, in another words drag and drop. It is very convenient. Less than 10mins all your songs will be in, to the beautiful player that you have, and from there you can enjoy the high quality of Samsung's slice of music.
Lastly comes into the battery information. For audio, just purely listening to music, it can last you for 35 hrs. That's a rough gauge, but it depends mainly on the LCD disply, and the volume of the player. Definitely if the player is playing at max volume, battery playback is lesser. While for the video is around 5 hrs solely. One more will be the Bluetooth usage of playing back. When listening to songs via the Bluetooth, the battery can only last for around 15hrs.
Well, it just seems like Samsung YP-P2 has great seduction to any users who want to buy a mp3 player. What do you expect from such a tiny player with all funtions built in. Tempting enough to get it. Like what i mentioned earlier on, go for the features and the sound system, don't go for the design, it is useless no matter how nice your mp3 looks, but it is useful if how superb your mp3 sounds.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.
Music + video + Bluetooth = P2

Summary: The main thing that made me get this was the stereo bluetooth. The fact that everything i use day to day has bluetooth (i.e. my phone, laptop, desktop, home stereo, portable stereo and headphones/headset) so it just allowed more flexibility of use then any other mp3 player on the market. When im on the go i can put on a song, or when im at home tune into the local radio, even can watch a movie in the middle of a boring lecture. Another factor i loved is the ability to awnser phone calls that are coming though my phone (although the update is coming in December i believe). My friends who own the iphone and/or ipod touch when i connected it to my stereo back at my place were astounded with the audio quality and the bluetooth factor. and said if they known the p2 exsisted they would have bough that over any ipod or similar competitors. Although eveything good has their flaws, my music library is about 6k sougs.. so i was only able to put a fraction of them on but thats fine i dont really need to listen to all 6k of them in one go. also something like a dock would be nice like the ipod has or the zune but its not a must eather so im fine with it. over all great player with out the wires.

Cnet = Apple Fanboys/girls
by Chowdder512 on February 14, 2008
Pros: Bluetooth, GUI, FM radio, Numerous 'free' firmware updates, screen size and contrast, customizable
Cons: Lack voice recording, no WiFi, Touch display is not as responsive (touch feedback would be a nice feature), wasted space for the non-functional light

Summary: I'm not going to comment on how the player, I've already done that in the pros and cons. What I do want to comment on is the Cnet's credibility, or their lack of. Clearly they are playing favourites with Apple. Why? Well the record speaks for it self. the iPod touch received an update in January to enable email and web support. So with the added features Cnet decided to raise it's score for the iPod Touch; from an 8.5 to 8.7. That's fine and justified, but what about the P2? It received and continues to receive firmware updates. It has already receive a very important one, which enabled bluetooth file transfer and bluetooth calling. That in itself is pretty impressive. Without a doubt, it is the first player on the market to have this feature.
Now I'm not going to say whether having bluetooth is better than having WiFi. But raising one score and not the other is totally unjustified. It just goes to show that Cnet is playing favourites with Apple. And I for one am not surprised, just look at their top MP3 player list, 1/3 of them are Apple players. Seriously, reviews need to be unbiased and objective. What's the point of visiting this site if all you're going to do is praise one type of media player? I used to trust Cnet as a quality source for information, but now it's nothing more than Apple land. Don't believe me? then just look at all their videos, half of them have something to do with iPods/iPhone.
The quality of this site has been going down steadily and continue so to this day. Get your acts together and stop accepting the bags of money from Apple.2 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.
best looking player on the market with features and quality to match!
by lk335 on August 6, 2008
Pros: Bluetooth!, amazing build quality, multiple firmware updates, top notch sound quality, good value for money, amazing looking screen
Cons: screen scratches very easily, but the back is 20x more resistant than the major player, very slow USB transfer speed, quirky touch screen

Summary: I love this player. I bought a 8GB when it first came out here in Canada at a premium but returned it because it didn't live up to the hyper originally. I turned around and got a Ipod Touch 8GB instead.
It's been 10 months and I have decided to give the P2 another chance since we are on v5.02 now for firmware, and I really miss the audio quality.
So...cons first.
The screen scratches very easily, and the included screen protector is well...pretty cruddy. So I took some 3M film and put that over pretty quick because I am OCD with finger prints (I constantly take a microfiber cloth to my devices).
I don't remember the back of the player being a matt finish, but I really like it because it does not scratch as easily as the rest of the player, but if your fiddiling with the player during a jog, bike ride, or a generaly warm day, prints show up VERY easily (but I guess thats a given)
The player itself (firmware 5.02 is installed) is quite quick to get around, the menu system is intuitive and fun...BUT quirky. It does not always understand your commands, but it is an early generation touch device so I give it a bit of slack. Once you figure out how to use it though it is one of the easier devices I've used.
The USB transfer speed is SLOW beans. Transfering the primary NIN releases to the player took a good 6-8 minutes, a bit longer than expected for a USB2.0 compliant device.
It came down in price! I got the device for $150 Canadian NIB from Futureshop! Making it an incredible value for the money.
The comparable player has VERY poor sound quality compared to this device. Even the previous Gen 4 version of the comparable player had better sound quality than the other touch screen device...but neither can compete with this. Even the included earbuds are tons better! (but I usually only use my Shure E2's or Sen CX300's)
The screen tops our other fav player by far, it's clear, crisp, warm, and inviting...a lot like their TV screens.
And of course the features that this player adds that are actually USEFUL in a media player: Stereo Bluetooh, FM reciever (I use it all the time!), FM recorder!, voice recorder, FILE EXPLORER...(great if you organize your music in folders and have Napster style ID3 tags (ie: wrong tagging).
Games on the device with the latest updates are pretty killer. The Subway maps for Vancouver and Toronto are neat (but not really helpful in Edmonton). Having some other extras that are not really needed on a media player include: address book, calculator, text file reader...
The one thing I really like is Samsung's DNSe sound engine. It really adds a nice kick when you need it. But the overall quality is pretty killer.
I couldn't be happier with this player for what I use a media player for.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I specifically bought this device because it had FM radio and said it supports MPEG4. However, you need their software to convert MPEG4 video into some Samsung format to get the video to work. They really should make that clear so the consumer understands that.
I plan to return this player since I feel like i was deceived when I purchased it. The sound is terrific and the interface is cool. I heard others complain about the difficulty in getting around with the touch screen and yes thats a problem but not a huge problem. You can get used to that.
If it wasn't for the lack of mpeg4 support I would highly recommend this player.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Publisher Synopsis
"Science News""Reading the first book penned by Church, a Harvard biologist and polymath, is like falling down a rabbit hole straight into his fermenting brain. Church's wide-ranging career includes developing novel methods for reading the genetic instruction manual, or genome, of creatures from bacteria to humans. Now he focuses on synthesizing those instructions from scratch.... [A] dizzying survey of how scientists have unearthed the secrets of living organisms and are now using that information to revamp life itself." Robert T. Gonzalez, io9"[A] phenomenal read." "Wall Street Journal""A definitive account of the advances and business ventures that define this new science [of synthetic biology].... When history is written centuries from now, it is more likely that writing DNA will be the most enduring innovation [of our age]." "New Scientist""Bold and provocative... Church and Regis offer a behind-the-scenes look at synthetic biology, a rapidly emerging field that is reprogramming the genetic code to create organisms and functions not found in nature. "Regenesis" tells of recent advances that may soon yield endless supplies of renewable energy, increased longevity and the return of long-extinct species." "Nature""The life sciences emerge as the new high-tech in this paean to synthetic biology.... Each step in the genome's evolution serves as a springboard for expositions of how synthetic biology will revolutionize renewable energy, multivirus resistance, and more." Mike Loukides, "O'Reilly Radar""If there's one book that can turn this movement into a full-blown revolution, this is it." Derek Jacoby, "O'Reilly Radar""George Church and Ed Regis pull off an exciting and speculative romp through the field of synthetic biology and where it could take us in the not too distant future.... "Regenesis" provides an accessible and engaging introduction to the revolutionary potentials of synthetic biologyi Read more...

Graduated Driver Licensing- GDL What every parent needs to know Road Rules • It is illegal for learner's permit and intermediate license holders to use any hand-held electronic device while operating a motor vehicle, except in a life-threatening emergency. • It is illegal for a person under age 21 to drive after consuming any alcohol. Even prescription medicines or over-the- counter medications taken in the proper dosages can impair you as much as alcohol or illegal drugs. Driving while impaired may result in the driver losing their license for at least 6 months, payment of court fines, community service, a treatment program, or a combination of any of these. • Every driver and front seat passenger must wear a seat belt at all times while the vehicle is being operated. No seat belt use means the driver can be stopped and ticketed without any other offense.

Well, the article doesn't say much about Rob. It just says that beefy guys with pumped-up biceps are not "in" with the ladies anymore (and what's new?): muscular but slender (like Rob in New Moon) is the ticket, now. And then it carries on with a lot of stuff on how to get a body like that.
I'd say only Rob's picture is of any worth :). - February 1, 2010 at 5:03 AM

Oh yes I agree! He was so heartbreakingly beautiful in that scene, and so sad!

Down East 2013 ©
Dressed for the occasion in a top hat and tails, Governor Carl E. Milliken arrived by car at the State Street side of Deering Oaks Pond in Portland just before three o'clock. Model T Fords roared by on Park Avenue as the governor approached the water and sat down, stoically, in the middle of the canoe to take a trip three hundred feet to the northeast and more than two hundred and fifty years back in time.
From June 26 to July 5, 1920, Portland played host to the Maine centennial celebration. The city celebrated Maine's birthday with everything from historical floats and Mardi Gras parties to a somewhat uncomfortable nod to the state's Native American past. On the seventh day of the ten-day celebration, Horace Nicholas, a basket maker and fisherman from the Passamaquoddy tribe, along with an unknown member of the Penobscot nation, paddled the Maine governor across the duck pond in Deering Oaks Park, past the fountain installed in 1887, and toward a temporary "Indian colony" set up for the centennial.
The blast of a cannon, hundreds of spectators, and dozens of chanting Passamaquoddies welcomed Governor Milliken as he stepped ashore after the not-quite arduous canoe trip. The tribe's own governor, William Neptune, gifted Milliken a bow and arrow as well as a war club, and then escorted the statesmen towards the faux village. The encampment, meant to present a glimpse of life in pre-colonial Maine, consisted of hundreds of Native Americans showcasing such skills as the stretching and treating of sealskin, basket weaving, and jewelry making.
The location for the village, however, proved to be an ill-advised choice. In 1689, English Major Benjamin Church had orchestrated the bloodiest attack on Native Americans in Maine history on the future site of Deering Oaks Park. As the centennial's own brochure points out, bullets used during the "Fite at Falmouth" could still be found lodged in the trunks of trees throughout the encampment. Although Portland's Daily Eastern Argus referred to the site as "appropriate" for its historical connection, and deemed the overall scene "brilliant" and "impressive," Governor Neptune had trouble cloaking his frustration. He lamented to reporters that the tribe had lost prime fishing and basket-making time, and added bluntly, "Sixty-five years ago we did not have to make baskets for a living. We hunted, but that time is gone. The white people have stripped us from top to bottom."
As a token of appreciation for making the journey to celebrate Maine's statehood, Governor Neptune was given a wind-up Victrola record player. It is unlikely this gesture eased Neptune's frustrations.

I´m not convinced. I´m not talking about voter fraud here, I´m just saying they are claiming they had this incredible machine that targeted voters, yet their numbers went down compared to 2008. So the only thing that saved them was that Republicans didn´t vote. How is that a strategy? And why were they so sure about it? Click Here if you Like this Comment
I am a fossil. I hated it when the Romney campaign called us and e mailed us and called us and e mailed us........I will never again donate to a political campaign. It destroyed the peace and quiet of our household. It did NOT make us more or less likely to vote and we would not care if Romney had employed an Obamalike campaign making us feel like EVERYBODY was doing it. Perhaps that´s the difference between being grown-up and an adolescent but I don´t care. In the end Romney supporters were not adolescents. I´m not sure that´s a bad thing.

Romney is a great nominee and great guy.As Ann Coulter has observed...If the 2012 voters had been as white as the 1980 voters, Romney´s victory would haveoutpaced Reagan´s 1980 stunner.The demographics have changed.We have a nation of whiners and losers who want to suck off Uncle Sam.We do have to find out the best way to get voters to the polls.We can still win.But the game is changing each time.Also the self-righteous who dump on the GOP gave us DimWitz Houses that passed Obamacare.Keep the GOP in control in the House, and no more Obamacares.But that would be practical and logical.More fun to be spiteful and cast blame.More fun to live under a Wannabe Kommie Dicktater, too... right?The Kommie Obie WON Kenya-Obie is better than Romney.Isn´t he? .... s/o Click Here if you Like this Comment

A year and change that all the GOP contenders spent slinging cesspool goo and sharp objects at each other sure helped nothing when the last man left standing had to face the Teflon coated opposition who has all of his laundries sealed and full backing from the media.That was an absolutely brilliant PARTY STRATEGY for political suicide.

We just turned Michigan into a "right to work" state, same with Indiana. And we´ve had stellar success in Wisconsin. Texas is doing very well economically. Louisiana, North Carolina. Arizona has it´s budget balanced . . .I don´t think the GOP is in disarray. But at a national level, we seem to become easily distracted by the media in particular.I´m not sure what to think of this organization. I can´t rule out vote fraud simply as a way to allow them to measure up to the stats that this group generates. Seeing all those Republican poll watchers forcibly removed from their posts in Pennsylvania makes it impossible to doubt the possibility of a corrupt election.Democrats only needed to win by a small margin.
