Glands Under Jaw Hurt After Drinking Alcohol

Weekend in London and small-scale test

Link to the English version of tip and tricks I gotU With The GT120

Before leaving Iceland for a longer period, we got an extended weekend in London. Small scale test for our future blog about Iceland.



In fact, to minimize surprises with my new hardware, whether the laptop under vista32b the IgotU GPS, camera / mini HD video, and all that goes with it, chargers, spare batteries, cables usb plugs and sockets, memory cards and backup ... This weekend will allow me, first of all to enjoy the city and my friends, and then indulge my hobby, photography and sharing of these.

This weekend makes me situation of what I do during our trip to Iceland, that is, post a blog with our journey every 2-3 days photos included, these 4 days have actually helped raise some good points and some problems.

GPS of Mobile Action IgotU GT120 works well, even by plane near the window when I forgot to turn it off ... The internal battery is quickly limited, allegedly walking mode 10h 3s per location, it has hardly had over 7h. To counter them, it is possible to connect continuously, a power source outside. In this case, I found a " charger " featuring 2 AA batteries with a USB plug for 10 .- CHF. Lightweight, perfect for use. He has no problem taking over 15h / d for several days, these cells are found everywhere, rechargeable batteries can also be used.



The camera-video Panasonic HD TZ7 gives really nice results as a picture in mini HD video. With its 25mm wide angle 12x optical zoom to $ 300mm is perfect for this use. To submit short films on the net, must have QuickTime Pro because of it. Mov (or AVCHD lite)



The pc HP Compaq Presario CQ61 cheap almost works well, I could find an unprotected network and connect to it without problem. Very useful little gadget, usb lamp because my keyboard is not illuminated. Almost because Vista is not very efficient, external software vendors have trouble handling this OS.



between GPS and camera, it must be time synchronized for geotagging of photos is well positioned in Google maps. A priori, the time is independent of GPS, I can imagine it varies with the geographical point, the first mistake that will cost me much time to reposition the photos later. Second error, the 2 cameras were not synchronized, re-galley, my journey was never the right time and the photos must be manually placed at the fair. Here's a good reason to have all stuck with, avoid this happening again in Iceland.

Treat photos via Photoshop , it's going very well, I did a little script that allows me with the image processor placing a mask on the selected photos and reduce them to 800px Max aside automatically, excellent time-saver. This reduction step
images via photoshop saves me time to transfer the image using the software @ trip PC but it is not necessary, unless they are in raw format is not supported by formatqui @ trip PC .

@ trip PC software my gps works fine when he is asked too much. When I try to split a trip and other actions, after some manipulation, it has a nasty tendency to put themselves in error and exit. In fact this problem only happens under Vista. My problem is I can not put anything other than Vista on this laptop cheap. Since this is one where I'm going to take a vacation, I'll galleys, that celebration.
I made a detailed mail to the provider of software to be aware of these problems, I hope a quick response.
I can still work with this software, but every 5-8 minutes, it can crash, of course without being able to save the work, otherwise it would be too easy!

little detail on a trip that begins in Switzerland but is happening in England, is the picture header that will choose the a location marker on the map . So I took a picture located in England since the principal of my trip is going there.

In short, technically I saw what I can do, overall, is very positive can even do better. I hope

on my return from vacation I will not send any farting nor have to catch up due to potential problems.

Time will tell.

Why Are My Legs Ichy After Waxing

walk from the bridge to the bath Quail Walk to

One Sunday in beautiful weather, a walk is needed. Both
than done, find a refreshing turn out well.















Bridge Branch of the quail, valley Usses between Geneva and Annecy.



At this moment in May 2009, the road bridge is being repaired, so he has few people who pass by, the new highway serves as a relay - if not a great comparison-turning is necessary. I hate to be the border, the plugs should be insufferable.

According to our guide, starting on the left bank along the road until Neplier, bof, take the path Neplier and descend into the forest along the red marking ... ah, we saw no markings, m'enfin, it is hard to go wrong. The road is in good condition.

The heat is important, even under trees. The place is nice, very green, flowery fields.
Approaching the bottom of the valley, we hoped to find a little more freshness, nay! In fact, the evening will be taught by the news that it was the hottest day of May for over 100 years, 33.8 ° C in Geneva.

A building is located on an artificial lake, it looks like a restaurant, terrace, tables and chairs but no indication is mentioned, yet it would be a place for pleasant scenery and relax.
The artificial lake seems a low permeability of the embankment to strengthen it been there recently, once the green is replaced by the bare earth. Po beautiful.
People are near the lake, they asked about the road that goes to the bathroom, a bit of debris but passable by cons, right bank, there is no path that rises to reach the top of the bridge, it passes along the river just below the bridge, that's all.

Cross the small bridge before the tar pond to reach the right bank of the river and back Usses. A little further is the buildings and pools of fish, not sure either is still active. The path continues in the forest is shrinking. A sign indicates that the road is blocked due to falling rocks. A little further to the right, a waterfall or say a waterfall emerging from a vertical crack in the cliff into the torrent Usses, surprising, beautiful, she has carved its bed.



The path narrows, sheltered by the forest along the stream, still no more freshness.
Approx 15 min. further and a few photos, an old stone bridge. A couple came by. They request or leads that way. In fact it is the old road baths, starting just after the bridges. The road is passable on foot, only a turn collapsed but the transition is possible, as I do not take the same path to return, it falls pretty well. Too bad the guide did not mention.

A little later, the building of the baths Quail abandoned, mystical place, beautiful. Two ponds are located in this building stairs with a railing cement kitsch style tree trunks can access the first floor. Nothing has the impression that everything will fall apart running through my mind yet no sign of warning is now the old buildings stand up well to time!



The sulfur spring is felt before you get near the building, it is on the other side, a white line is drawn, the deposition of calcium and sulfur along the stream of water which joins the river. A metal bridge joins. There are also the remains of a large circular basin and ruins. Seems there were 7 major basins common and 47 individual basins. Nature has taken over.



It continues right bank just below the bridge, just 10 minutes walk way acceptable, and some scree crossing muddy creeks. Two small waterfalls there. Signaling equipment that makes a great glide and chairs and a table in the trees, decorations sad.



Back in the baths and the old road bridge. I say road because we still see traces of asphalt and gravel, it is also relatively large with plenty of reinforcements, now damaged in places. It impresses me this winding road into the forest, saying it was built solely to access the bathrooms from the deck of the quail, unbelievable. While a lot of work seems easier access from the bottom along the stream or is there a road now.



Back very nice, gentle slope out of the way "delicate."

Only quack, electronics, my gps was unfortunately stopped, which does not allow me to show you the whole way home.

soon for new adventures!

How To Materbate A Woman

torrent Fornant

Or should we say attempt to walk along the Fornant which would lead us to the waterfall Barbannaz. Nice destination for our preparation to Iceland ... missed it!



Very briefly, this walk of 1hr 45 according to the guide has resulted in more a drive than walk, despite a team of walkers for this plot, we would have had boots to pass the fords.

Suddenly, we saw the starting point (reminiscent of that for the location information with the guide, we walked around a bit) and the point of arrival. A first

ford strewn dead wood allowed us to pass through cons 500m away, the second ford we stopped short, not much water but just enough to get your feet wet, not our original intent. Regulars crossed the ford, equipped with boots, made us understand that there are 6 other fords like. It was turned back.

Hoping to still see the waterfall, we leave by car, a little rain on the trip, we reached the place ... but the waterfall is just below the bridge, we heard the noise and one imagines the waterfall ...

A path from the left bank through the woods, we take a piece of history to take the air, in fact, a section which is part of the road to St Jacques de Compostela arrived on the heights, clouds threaten serious, we turned back. Arrived at the car, it pours. The waterfall, it will be for another time with the right equipment or summer when it is good to refresh your toes!

Swollen Knuckle Punch

money at cheap pc ... I-

Link to the English version of tip and tricks I gotU With The GT120

On my first trip to Chile in 1996 on the end, I got stung my bag backpacks, clothes, po serious, most importantly, I had it on me. Cons by more than half of my films were in the backpack, this is really bad luck, especially when we imagine they will not do anything, great memories on which I relied, pfuit!

So, on my last trip to Chile in 2008 I took about 10,000 photos, or approximately 50 gigabytes, they can never replace those that were stolen, but y 'has very beautiful anyway. I anticipated a hard drive, a USB key and DVDs as backup. I relied on cyber cafes and youth hostel to transfer the memory card to HDD and DVD all these photos.

the first day, the PC used to Santiago in the youth hostel has blown my 250G external hard drive and a usb key 16G, bummer! Note, better the first day that the last and lose everything by doing too much confidence! Suddenly, I had 2 dead weight to lug around during the entire trip before returning for exchange under warranty. Exchange that took 9 months for the DD! happiness.

The only way that I had to keep those gigabytes of photos is to burn them to DVD. The DVD burner is a common feature in Europe, already a little less in Chile, overtaxed, overpriced and not always easy to find, so finding newer and faster PC is the galley! Crisp detail on some PCs, it is not possible to delete files on which the photos were transferred from pc configured by limiting many functions. Hello confidentiality and the potential use of data by third parties!

For burning DVDs, you can imagine spins needed to adapt to different burning programs that exist, not to mention the English and its subtleties when it comes to understanding what I mean the little check box bottom right ...

To ensure a minimum of backup, I have all burned to DVD, double. The one I kept, the other I sent to the family, 2-3 DVDs per shipment once received and confirmed that they were readable, I erase memory cards the camera.

It went well, good, of course, express mail Chile does not have the same definition for the word express up to 25 days, not very profitable as an investment compared to 10x cheaper price for the item type fast , m'enfin is to integrate the disappointments and unexpected expenses.


To avoid troubles past, for this next trip to Iceland 2009 , I try to be as independent as possible, so, I enjoyed a good offer to buy a notebook 15.6 ", 650 .- CHF. Reasonable price for the use I want to do the little inconvenience, it is in Vista, not know this OS, it seems a bit in shambles, I'll find out.

Initially, I wanted to buy one of these little netbook, no burner, just planned to work with USB ports and Internet with a screen 9-10 "sufficient to transfer the memory card on some keys and USB external HDD but not very efficient for almost the same price. Certainly, a netbook is 3 times lighter, must make a choice. If I want to correct a little bit more photos via Photoshop for example, the netbook would not bear it, the choice is simple.

this notebook, I'll dedicate it to the holidays, hoping he takes the shot and I'll do me not fly too fast, there's no reason the country is deemed quiet ...

Configuration notebook, put the necessary programs in connection with the photos, it's done pretty well, just takes a little patience and do not be afraid to stay up late to finish an installation. You know, the one that has quickly made and that eventually you eat four hours late, very late at night. O (

is somewhat the case now, in fact, once installed everything on 150G It only remains for me only 60G free, regardless, so, I opt for a bigger HDD I installed, 320G, and there ... what's that long and tedious to copy everything via the Ghost backup made in this Optical ... the alarm will ring soon!

Fi Problem. I realize that the time capsule wifi connects only 2-3 minutes and "plant" Research Update wireless driver, forum search similar cases, as usual, missing the small detail of the problem not found in others. It takes time, lots of time. Finally, after 4 nights on the problem and go to bed at odd hours with a lot of research, install, reinstall, change settings and lots of tweaking, I ended up doing something illogical, install the previous driver installed for that of Origin ... Bingo, what happiness. Must say that it helps to know a better pc, but in the end certainly not essential handy.

say that it should work without having to do all this, normal po! How to operate the help-line and pay for ruining the average person? Buy a computer!

So that's all good, a few months before departure, I am easy on the option chosen for the backup of my pictures, this notebook is ready, now, do not leave me!

Passion, you cost me dearly in time, patience and financially!

But the result is so beautiful! : O) a +

for further adventures ...
