Mirror – Allows you to make different mirror images of the original image. You can do a left-to-right inversion, a top-to bottom inversion, or both. HSL Effects – Opens the Hue, Saturation and Lightness effects dialog box where you can individually control these three imaging parameters. Rotate 90 degrees – Each time you select this command it rotates the original image clockwise by 90 degrees. Selecting this four times returns the image to its original position. Sharpen – The Sharpen tool gives you the illusion of "focusing" blurry images by increasing the contrast of adjacent pixels. Smooth – The Smooth tool is the opposite of the Sharpen tool. It decreases the contrast between pixels, causing stark color transitions to appear smoother, blended and slightly blurry. Emboss – Embossing can be applied different ways to make a selection appear either "raised" or "stamped" in the surface. It achieves this by converting the image's color to gray and then tracing the edges with the original fill color. Embossing can be applied at different angles and different orientations to give "light and shadow" illusions to the image, as would occur if you were seeing it from different perspectives. Negative – When you use the Negative tool on an image, the brightness value of each pixel is converted to the inverse value on the 0-255 color values scale. For example, a pixel in a positive image with a value of 255 is changed to 0, and a pixel with a value of 10 is changed to 245. Diffuse - The Diffuse tool makes an image look more blurry by "shuffling the pixels around". Sharp edges take on a "splatter effect", as if a painter jabbed at it with the brush instead of painting a smooth line.
Version 4.0 Solarize – The Solarize tool blends a negative and a positive image, which is kind of like blending a color photograph with its black and white equivalent, or exposing a photographic print briefly to light during development.
Plug Ins Menu This menu command file is where you will find smaller subset programs which have been included as complimentary features of the BeadCreator program Pro 4.0 and are used by some artists to further develop their design.

Working with BeadCreator Pro 4.0 How to create a Bead Design? The process of creating a bead design is very simple. It has three different easy steps. •
In the first step, you will open a picture, create a new design or scan an image for use in your design.
In the second step, you will select a color palette to let the software know what bead colors you have and you can even customize this palette if necessary. In the third step, you will enter a little bit of information about the overall dimension of the design you want to create and the materials you are using.
After these three steps, BeadCreator Pro will fabricate the pattern with the click of a mouse on button and tells you how many beads are required for your design. A quick click onto the Palette tab shows you how many of each color bead is needed. You can keep changing these settings as necessary until the image has the desired level of clarity. Once you are satisfied with the pattern, save it and take the print out. Now you have everything you need to start beading!
How to open an image? Opening an image file in BeadCreator Pro is easy.
Version 4.0 Helpful Tip! In order to bring a picture into BeadCreator Pro, you must have a digitized version of the picture; that is, you must have an image file that was created from the picture. If all you have is a paper photograph, you can create an image file from it using a scanner. Of course, if you had a scanner you would know that already; so for those if you who have no idea what we are talking about, just know this: You can bring a photograph to most any professional film development or photocopy center, tell them that you want it scanned to an image file and they will be able to do it for you. Provide them with the information below so they will know what type of images you need. BeadCreator Pro can open any of the following types of image files: • • • • • • •
CollageCreator Format GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) JPG (JPEG Format) PNG (Portable Network Graphics Format) PSD (Photoshop Native File) TIF (Tagged Image File Format) BMP (Windows Bitmap)
Helpful Tip! Avoid using high resolution image files, as they tend to hog system resources. We have found that 72 dpi RGB images work just fine. JPG images typically create much smaller files than the other image types and are ideally suited for this type of application. Simply follow the steps given below to open the image file. 1. Make sure the Original tab is selected at the top of the page. Note: This tab always displays the original image.
2. Click on the File menu and select the Open Original option.
Version 4.0 3. The Select Source Image File dialog box displays. Browse to the folder containing the image file you want to import.
4. Select the image file that you want to open and click the Open button. The image
opens in the Original tab of the BeadCreator Pro program.
5. If your image does not fit to the screen (it is either too big or too small), you can resize the image using the magnification tool in the button bar. Just click on this drop-down list and select the desired magnification. To see the entire image as large as possible, select the Fit to Window option.
Version 4.0
Note: Changing the magnification does not affect the design or the original image file at all – it just allows you to view the image larger or smaller.
How to load the Palette? The palette represents the bead colors that are available for you to work with. When you specify a palette, you are telling the software to use only the colors in that palette to create the bead graph. BeadCreator Pro comes with a number of different color palettes preinstalled, plus you can edit and save these palettes under new names or build your own custom palettes. Simply follow the steps given below to load a Palette file. 1. Click on the File menu and select the Open Palette option. The Select A Palette File dialog box displays, showing the directories that contain the available palettes.
2. If you have a custom palette that you want to use, browse to the directory where it is stored. To use the default palettes, browse to the Palettes subdirectory in the BeadCreator Pro folder.
Version 4.0
3. Select the palette file that you want to use, then click on the Open button.
BeadCreator Pro automatically switches to Palette view so you can see the details of the palette you selected.
Version 4.0
Helpful Tip! If you want to try a different palette, you can select a new one simply by repeating the above process. If you like the palette you selected but want to make changes to specific colors, you can do that as well.
How to specify the size of the design? The Set the Size of Design box helps you to set the size of the design. 1. In the Set the Size of Design box to the right side of the main BeadCreator Pro's screen, specify the measuring units you want to use from the Ruler drop-down list.
2. You can choose inches, centimeters, or millimeters.
Version 4.0
3. In the Width and Height fields, specify the size of the final design that you want to build. When the Proportionate check box is selected, you can specify only one value (Width or Height). The other values are automatically adjusted to retain the proportions of the original image. If you uncheck this box, you can enter both the Width and Height values.
Note: but be aware that the image will be stretched to accommodate the values you enter and will not retain the same proportions as the original.
How to specify the density of the design? The Bead Parameters box to the right side of the main BeadCreator Pro's screen helps you to set the density of the design. First you must first specify whether you want to work in Inches or Bead units and then enter the appropriate information. 1. If you select Inches, you will specify the size of the beads and the number of beads required will be determined by the program. To proceed this way, choose the Bead Size from the drop-down list and then fine-tune the values in the Width and Height fields as necessary.
Version 4.0
2. If you select Beads, you will specify the number of beads you want to use and the size of the beads will be determined by the program. To proceed this way, use the Width and Height fields to enter the number of beads that you want to use in each row and column.
3. In the Spacer Size field, enter the width of the spacers that will be used between adjacent beads. Helpful Tip! After you enter the bead parameters, you can refer to the Bead Info box to see how many beads are needed (or what size of beads if using Bead units). If you have assigned a cost value to these beads, the estimated cost for the whole design is shown in the Cost field. When you use Inch units, the Count field shows the size of the beads required. When you use Bead units, the Size field shows the number of beads required.

How to set the bead effects for the design? The Bead Effects box to the right side of the main BeadCreator Pro's screen helps you to set the bead effects for your design. These effects change the shape of the beads and use different shading to give a sense of depth. Available bead effects are given below.
3-D Round
3-D Circle
3-D Cylinder
Rounded Rectangle
When you select a bead effect, the design is automatically redrawn with the new selection, so you do not have to click on the Create Pattern button again. The Rectangle with Rounded Corners option allows you to change the curvature of the corners by entering a value in the Round Value field. Larger numbers pertain to higher degrees of curvature. The default is 1.
How to set the bead patterns for the design? The Bead Pattern Image box to the right side of the main BeadCreator Pro's screen helps you to set the bead patterns for your design. 1. In the Color Conversion drop-down list, choose the option you want BeadCreator Pro to use. The available options are as follows.
Color Conversion Option Sharp Color Classic Color Exact Color
Description It causes the program to match the beads to the sharp color of the image. It causes the program to match the beads to the classic color of the image. It causes the program to match the beads to the exact color of the image. As a result, you will see a jagged appearance, especially where straight lines are involved.
Softened Color
Version 4.0 It causes the program to perform color averaging which tends to smooth out straight and curved lines.
2. By default, BeadCreator Pro applies a "loom pattern" design which situates every bead at either 0° or 90° to its nearest neighbor. If you want to try some variations from this, select a different pattern from the Bead Pattern Format drop-down list.
Loom Pattern
Peyote Pattern
2-Peyote Pattern
3-Peyote Pattern
4-Peyote Pattern
5-Peyote Pattern
6-Peyote Pattern

Pencil Use the Pencil tool on individual beads by clicking on each bead you want to color. You can also use it to create non-linear lines by holding down the primary mouse button and dragging the cursor around. Every bead you drag over will be colored.
Line The Line tool makes it easy to draw perfectly straight lines. Place the cursor at one endpoint of the line and hold down the primary mouse button. Drag the cursor in the direction you want the line to go. You will see a thin black line between the starting point and the cursor which indicates where the line would go if you released the cursor. Move the cursor to the desired endpoint and release the mouse button. A line is drawn between the two endpoints. Note: The Line tool is best used for drawing perfectly straight and diagonal lines however it can be used to draw lines at other angles as well.
Use the Rectangle tool to draw rectangular or square "frames". Rectangle Place the cursor where you want one corner of the rectangle to be, then holding down the primary mouse button, drag the cursor outward to define the area of the rectangle. A thin black line indicates where the rectangle will be drawn. Move the cursor where you want the opposite corner of the rectangle to be and release the mouse button.
Filled Rectangle This tool functions just like the Rectangle tool above except that the entire area inside the rectangle is filled with the select color. Use this when you want to create a solid colored box instead of a hollow frame.

Apr. 7 2007
Boston, MA — Massachusetts' progress in reducing smoking has stopped and may even have started to reverse, and the Commonwealth – once recognized as a national leader in fighting tobacco use – has fallen behind the nation as a whole in reducing cigarette sales, according to a new report released today by the Tobacco Free Mass Coalition and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
The report finds that per capita cigarette sales in Massachusetts increased by more than three percent from 2005 to 2006, while cigarette sales nationally declined by more than three percent over the same period. It also finds that the smoking rate for Massachusetts high school students remained virtually the same from 2003 to 2005 after declining by 41 percent from 1995 to 2003, a period when Massachusetts had one of the nation's best-funded tobacco prevention programs. Funding for the program was cut by 95 percent from 2000 to 2004 before increasing slightly this year.
The report was released on the same day the Massachusetts House is releasing its 2008 budget. Health advocates are urging state leaders to restore funding for the Massachusetts Tobacco Control Program. Governor Deval Patrick has proposed increasing the program's funding from $8.3 million this year to $16 million, which is slightly less than half the minimum amount of $35.2 million recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Health advocates praised the Governor's proposal and urged the Legislature to build on it.
"This report sounds a clear warning about what happens when states cut funding for tobacco prevention programs – progress reverses, more kids become addicted to tobacco, more lives are lost and taxpayers pay more to treat tobacco-caused disease," said Matthew L. Myers, President of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "Governor Patrick's proposal is an important step toward making Massachusetts a national leader again in fighting tobacco use. Now it's the Legislature's turn to support and build on the Governor's proposal in order to protect Massachusetts' kids and reduce tobacco's devastating toll."
"We have an opportunity to restore funding to a program that was once nationally recognized for reducing smoking and fighting the number one preventable cause of disease and death in the Commonwealth – tobacco," said State Representative Rachel Kaprielian. "It's more important than ever we step up our efforts to protect kids because the tobacco companies are spending record amounts to market their deadly and addictive products. Legislatures everywhere need to begin to reverse this cycle of addiction by increasing funding for prevention and cessation."
"When our state's tobacco prevention and cessation program was fully funded, our youth smoking rate was among the lowest in the nation," said Dr. Gena Carter, Chair of the Tobacco-Free Mass Coalition. "Since funding was cut five years ago, we've seen a dramatic upward trend in illegal sales to kids, and the progress we made around youth smoking rates has stopped. We applaud Governor Patrick for recognizing the need to restore funding for tobacco prevention, and we urge the Legislature to follow suit and build on the Governor's proposal."
Massachusetts launched the Tobacco Control Program with funds from a cigarette tax increase approved by voters in 1992. Despite the program's considerable success in reducing tobacco use and recognition as a national model, funding was cut from $54.3 million in Fiscal Year 2000 to $2.5 million in Fiscal Year 2004, a cut of 95 percent over four years, before the slight increase to $8.3 million in Fiscal 2007.
The report highlights several trends that indicate Massachusetts' progress in reducing smoking has stopped or reversed since funding was cut for the Tobacco Control Program:
Every year in Massachusetts, tobacco use claims approximately 9,000 lives and costs the state more than $3.5 billion in health care bills, including $1 billion under the Medicaid program. Smoking-caused government expenditures amount to a hidden tax of $742 per Massachusetts' household. The tobacco industry spends more than $233 million a year on marketing in Massachusetts, amounting to 28 times what the state currently spends on tobacco prevention.
Massachusetts this year will collect $658 million in tobacco-generated revenue from the tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes. It would take just five percent of this tobacco revenue for Massachusetts to fund its tobacco prevention program at the CDC-recommended minimum level of $35.2 million a year.
The report and corresponding charts issued by the Tobacco Free Mass Coalition and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids can be found at: www.tobaccofreekids.org/documents/MA_program_rpt-4-9-07.pdf
Tobacco Free Mass is a privately funded coalition that advocates for funding and policies that support tobacco prevention and reduction of the public's exposure to secondhand smoke.
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, based in Washington, D.C., is a leader in the fight to reduce tobacco use in the United States and around the world. By changing public attitudes and public policies about tobacco, the Campaign works to prevent kids from smoking, help smokers quit and protect everyone from secondhand smoke.

If anything, Guggenheim sees money as the problem and doesn't shy away from the fact that it's Democrats in bed with the teachers unions – who just so happen to be the most powerful lobbying force in the country (oil companies are a distant second). The director even gives George W. Bush credit for reaching across the aisle to Senator Kennedy and at least trying accountability with No Child Left Behind. But as the film's informative and creative animation (think Schoolhouse Rock) informs us, NCLB just isn't the solution. Schools are failing due to lack of funding? That's a lie. Kids from troubled homes and poor socio-economic backgrounds can't learn? Another provable lie. And what proves it best is the devastated look on the faces of those parents who don't win the lottery – who believe their child might now be, as one parent so memorably puts it, "doomed." "Waiting for Superman" is nothing less than God's work and is as deserving of as much support as we can possibly give it.

Love is the drug on French first lady's new album
By Tamora Vidaillet
PARIS (Reuters) - France's first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy sings of 30 lovers and hard drugs on a new album that she insists was not inspired by her whirlwind romance and marriage to President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Top French newspaper Le Figaro said the distinctive melodies and bold lyrics on Bruni's "Comme si de rien n'etait" (As if nothing had happened), her first album since she wed Sarkozy, were a new departure from plain folk and a musical success.
Le Figaro critic Bertrand Dicale said in his review that the album -- which is due out on July 21 -- shows Bruni coming of age as a songstress and embracing more recognizably French styles and the flamboyance of the 1960s.
"I am a child despite my 40 years and 30 lovers," Bruni sings in the song "Une Enfant" (A Child), according to Dicale who said it was one of the best on the album.
In another song entitled "You are my Drug," Bruni sings: "You are my drug. More lethal than heroin from Afghanistan and more dangerous than Colombian cocaine."
It is Bruni's third album since turning from top model to musician, and her first since she married Sarkozy in February.
Bruni has repeatedly said she wrote the songs before meeting Sarkozy, so listeners should not look to the lyrics for clues about her feelings for the French president.
The recently divorced Sarkozy, 53, and Bruni, 40, began dating in November, revealed their relationship in December in a worldwide blaze of publicity, and tied the knot on February 2. Continued...

On 24 acres overlooking the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound, an enclave of Nantucket-style cottages shows just how charming and traditional a green home can be built.
The quaint seaside homes have steeply pitched roofs, deep covered porches, gracious columns, second-floor balconies and, in some cases, a white picket fence. They are far from the minimalist modern aesthetic often associated with eco-friendly living.
"Sustainability doesn't need to look sustainable," says Donald Powers, founder of the Rhode-Island based firm -- Donald Powers Architects -- that designed the 100-home community in Anacortes, Wash., about 90 miles north of Seattle. "You can build a traditional home with very progressive features."
The first cottage -- chosen as "This Week's Green House" -- earned the basic level of certification (there are four levels) from the private U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program.
Powers says it wasn't that hard to do. His firm's partner, Douglas Kallfelz, who was the project architect, focused on cost-effective measures --what many in the building industry call the "low-hanging fruit" -- such as high-performance windows and mechanical systems, native landscaping as well as Energy Star lighting and appliances.
Many consumers want an energy-efficient home but don't want to pay that much more for it, says Powers, adding: "Developers call us and say, "my client will pay an extra 10% but not 20%. What can we do?""
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom homes range in price from $400,000 to $800,000, says Wesley Cotter, spokesman for the builder, Gilbane Development Company, based in Providence, R.I. He says eight have been built so far, five of which sold this year.
The San Juan Passage development recently won the 2010 grand award from Builder magazine for "production" homes under 2,000 square feet. Its homes, like ships' quarters, have efficient floorplans and features such as built-in bookcases and window seats. Garages are tucked out of sight.
Each home is landscaped to provide an active wildlife habitat, earning a "Backyard Wildlife Habitat" distinction from the National Wildlife Federation. The enclave has tree-lined sidewalks and four neighborhood parks with trails that wind to the sea.
Wendy Koch has been a reporter and editor at USA TODAY since 1998, covering politics and social issues. She's begun a quest to build the most eco-friendly home her budget allows. She'll share her experience and give you tips for greening your home. More about Wendy

IRVINE, Calif. --- UC Irvine was unable to overcome an early three-run lead by Washington as the Anteaters suffered a 3-0 loss to the Huskies Friday at Cicerone Field at Anteater Ballpark.
The Anteaters were held to four hits, two of which were recorded by Jordan Fox (2 for 4). D.J. Crumlich and Kris Paulino each added a hit.
Designated hitter Robert Pehl hit a hard shot off the out-stretched glove of Fox to lead off the Husky second with a single. A wild pitch put Pehl in scoring position for Michael Camporeale, who drove a 1-1 pitch just inside the third-base line for an RBI double. Erik Forgione followed by dunking a two-out hit to right to give Washington a 2-0 lead.
The Huskies struck again in the third, putting runners on first and third with two outs for Jacob Lamb, who dribbled a ball up the third base line for an infield single to score Branden Berry.
UCI's only threat came in the sixth on back-to-back two-out singles from Crumlich and Fox but a grounder to Berry at first would end the inning.
Matt Whitehouse took the loss (0-1) after striking out six in five innings and giving up three runs on eight hits. Kyle Hooper also struck out six batters, including the side in the ninth, while limiting Washington to two hits in the final four frames.
Aaron West collected his first win after six innings of three-hit baseball. Joshua Fredendell pitched a perfect ninth to register his second save. Pehl and Forgione combined for six of the team's 10 hits.
The series continues Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

Modelling Fish Behaviour
Stephens, Kingsley M., Pham, Binh L., & Wardhani, Aster W. (2003) Modelling Fish Behaviour. In 1st international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Australasia and South East Asia.
|PDF (400kB)
This paper studies the problem of creating artificial fish for real-time interactive virtual worlds aimed at desktop environments with hardware 3D support. The artificial fish developed have the ability to move, sense and think. Each fish is modelled with a Keyframed skeletal animated body, semi-physics based movement model, sensory abilities, internal motivations, a set of behaviour routines, and a behavioural selection mechanism. These features allow the fish to act autonomously using behavioural rules in response to sensory input from the environment and other fish. This autonomous ability enables definite behaviours to be described and observed in the fish that are not simply random, cyclic or scripted. Excellent work has been previously done on modelling sophisticated artificial fish. The contribution of this paper is to focus on the practical modelling of fish for game production.

Not only is this extremely convenient, it's also a great way to save energy because, as we're constantly being told, leaving stuff on standby still uses a fair amount of power and a lot of computer peripherals use external power supplies which still draw current even when the device is off. In contrast the IntelliPlug uses a mere 0.4 of a Watt when in standby. So if you use a few of these for all your computer peripherals, the various boxes plugged into your TV, and your Hi-Fi, and whatever else you can think of, you can be set to save a nice chunk of change on your electricity bill.
The actual models I'm looking at are the IntelliPlug (#DSK105) and USB IntelliPlug (#USB105) three way adapters. The USB in the latter refers to its ability to detect when to turn peripheral devices on when used with a laptop, which I'll explain in a little more detail in a moment. Each plug has three sockets - one master and two peripherals - so you can control two extra devices, which is enough for your monitor and a set of speakers, say. However, if you have a rather more complicated setup then you may want to look at OneClick's IntelliPanels that have seven peripheral sockets and can be had for around £20.
It goes without saying that the aesthetic qualities of a plug socket are not going to be high on most peoples' agenda. However, I can't help but point out that these things aren't for show, in any way, shape, or form. Having complete instructions and annotated plugs and sockets makes for great usability but doesn't do much for the looks department. Good, then, that the IntelliPlug's primary use sees it being tucked down the back of a desk or TV cabinet.
While the setup of the non-USB plug couldn't be more obvious and straight forward the USB version requires a bit more explanation. The reason for its existence is that a large number of laptops don't suck up enough power to trigger the master device switch. So if you use a laptop as your master device with the standard IntelliPlug, your peripherals will never turn on. However, the USB version uses a special cable that runs from the IntelliPlug to a USB port on your laptop. So, when you turn the laptop on, its USB ports are activated, which the IntelliPlug detects, so it turns the other devices on. It's a system that works very well but does have one obvious flaw in that it takes up a USB port on your laptop, so you may want to invest in a small USB hub as well.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in '[Classifieds] Want to Buy' started by vintagepics, Dec 4, 2012.
Im only looking for one or two. Thanks.
what are they worth? I have a couple I was thinking of turning into picture frames.
PICTURE FRAMES! Egads. LOL
Depending on the type, and condition I have seen price tags on them from $25 to $150. I have no idea of an exact value.
I may have a few stored away. If dpurdy doesn't have what you need then LMK so I can start digging though boxes.
Have not heard from dpurdy, so im still looking. Thanks.
Okay, I'll search through my boxes of holders. If you don't hear from me within two days then remind me. My memory is virtually gone.
Sounds great, thanks.
I set the boxes with holders stored in them to the side and will go through them today.
Awesome! Thank you.
I was tied up with other things today. I promise I'll go through the boxes tomorrow.
No rush. I thank you for your time.
Found two more boxes... will sort through those tomorrow.
okee dokee
Is this what you are looking for?
Not sure. Will that fit in a standard 8x10 camera back? By looking at the photos it appears that is a single sided holder that is loaded from the back?
That's a fascinating contraption. How thick is it? Do the stacking format frames come out? If so, what a clever idea. I have a holder with that one-sided design, but just for 8x10. There's a black metal spring that pushes the plate for tight, flat contact, like in yours, but I don't think it would work with the smaller formats. Very curious.
Has there ever been a thread comparing all the different designs of plate holders?
vintagepics: You might try Large Format Photography Forum if you don't have any luck buying a holder or two here.
If something like that fits a standard 8x10 film back, then that is what im looking for. I am using it for my calotype photography. I use the glass plates to help keep my paper nice and flat for exposure. Im actually shooting through the plate. I was looking for 8x10. I didn't know holders such as that came in variable sizes. Something like that would be even better.
Sorted through my last two boxes of holders and I'm sorry... no luck here. I found eight glass plate holders but they'e not 8x10. They're not full plate either but something in between.
Thats OK. I thank you very much for all your time.
i have couple of those holders and they should fit 8x10 no prob....contact me....

a large, impressive house of historical interest, especially one that the public may visit See related entries: Types of home Culturestately homesIn Britain there are many large stately homes that belong or used to belong to upper-class aristocratic families. The houses are called stately homes from the opening lines of a poem by Felicia Hemans (1793–1835) . They are sometimes also called country houses because most of them are in the countryside. Some are approached through large iron gates down a long drive (= private road). Many have formal gardens and are surrounded by a large private park (= an area of grass and trees), often with a lake.Stately homes range from small manor houses to palaces. Manor houses date from the 14th century and are often square stone buildings with a central courtyard, and some are entered by crossing a moat (= a deep channel, sometimes containing water) which was originally a means of defence. Some larger houses were built in the 16th century, including Hampton Court in south-west London, Burghley House near Peterborough and Hardwick Hall near Derby.Many stately homes date from the 18th century, and are associated with famous architects. Blenheim Palace near Oxford was designed in the baroque style by Vanbrugh and Hawksmoor. Holkham Hall in Norfolk, designed only a few years later by William Kent, is in the Palladian style. Kedleston Hall near Derby, the home of the Curzon family, was mainly the work of Robert Adam. The large estates attached to stately homes attracted landscape gardeners (= people who design gardens) such as 'Capability' Brown, who laid out the gardens at Burghley, Blenheim and Chatsworth.Stately homes are very expensive to look after and, in order to get enough money to do this, some owners open their houses to the public. They charge visitors an admission fee. Many stately homes have been given by their owners to the National Trust, an organization which raises the money to look after them from gifts, membership fees and admission charges. In many cases, the former owners continue to live in part of the house. This arrangement means that the house is well cared for, and the family does not have to pay inheritance tax when the owner dies.Visitors go to stately homes to admire their architecture, and to walk round the gardens. They also go to see valuable furniture, paintings, tapestries and china that have been collected over a long period . Sometimes, documents about the family or about historical events are also displayed. There is generally a cafe and a shop selling souvenirs. During the summer, concerts or plays may be performed in the house or gardens. Some owners have added other attractions: at Longleat House, for example, there is a safari park (= a park where people can drive round and see wild animals, e.g. lions).nounjump to other results

Hey Everybody,
First time posting here.
I'm having issues with getting the factory HU play music from an attached 16GB USB jump drive. I've tried formatting the jump drive with either Fat32 or NTFS without any success. The farthest I've gotten is the HU displaying the "Unsupported" error message.
Am I being completely dense or is there a trick to this?
I've tried searching the various forums & the subbie Media Hub manual but couldn't find the exact answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
