Quick Tips

Funny Word Time!

There's something about learning a funny technological word that brings out the geek in everyone! Today's subject is one that will help everyone work more efficiently while searching on the Internet. It's called “Boolean”.

Say you're looking for a specific thing on the web, but every time you search it seems as though there are too many results, and to go through all of them would take hours! Boolean operators can streamline this process; giving you a more refined search. Here are a few to try out:

Quotes:
Yes, putting quotes around your search terms looks for the words or phrase exactly as typed. If you put in “Granola Bars” the sites returned will have only those words in their exact order. This is my favorite one to use when I'm looking for a specific file or subject and want to skip all the browsing around.

And:
The operator “and” is used to combine search terms so that information is only retrieved if all terms occur in the same document. So if you're looking for “Doctors and Lawyers”, type in that phrase, and what will be returned are documents with both keywords in them.

Not:
“Not” prevents retrieval of documents in which specified terms occur together. This operator is also good to use when a keyword has multiple meanings. So the search “milk not butter” will find documents where “milk” occurs but “butter” doesn't.

Or:
"Or" combines keywords so the retrieved documents contain any or all of the keywords. Most search engines don't need this though, as they assume this as the operator being used already.

Till' next time!

You've Just Got To See This!

human body

The BEST Selling Human Anatomy Software in the USA!!!

Human Body 360 - DVD Professional Edition!

Human Body

We've been waiting and waiting for this and it finally came in!! I heard this was a phenomenal program so I've been dying to see what all the hoopla was about! Now that I've seen it, all I can say is, WOW!! JUUUST AWESOME!!! This is the most fully updated and complete consumer anatomy software available anywhere!!! And when you load this into your computer you'll know why!

The program is called Human Body 360 - DVD Professional Edition, and it's actually THREE Programs In One!!

Anatomy Atlas - High resolution maps of the entire human body. You can pinpoint specific parts of the anatomy and you're guided with accompany text, graphics and animations!

Medical Encyclopedia - A detailed visual encyclopedia loaded with text and illustrations linked together

Illustrated Medical Dictionary - A complete medical dictionary containing over 82,000 entries including 63,000 definitions, 11,000 illustrations, and more than 73,000 audio pronunciations! It's like having a printed dictionary in your computer, except you don't have to reach any farther than your keyboard  to look up the meaning of a word.  Just type in a word into the dictionary search window, or select a word using your mouse, and the dictionary will find the meaning of the word instantly! And the "audio pronunciation feature" reads the word to you so you can hear exactly how to pronounce it correctly!

human body

This a complete guide to the human body and how it works! And what's really cool is that the different programs all work together so you can drill-down and get as much detailed information as you need!

And let me tell you, there's a TON of information here!! Check this out:

Over 500 3-D models and animations

Over 3,000 detailed illustrations and graphics!

All together there's over 5,000 screens that cover virtually everything about the human body!

Human Body

You're gonna love the high resolution images. You can print them out right from each screen!

One feature that I thought was really great is something called, the "X-Ray Viewer"! This lets you see different layers of the body at the same time. Here's a screen shot I took of one of the slides. Sorry the screen shot isn't better, but the graphics in this program are so detailed it's tough to show it with a small screen shot!

Anyway, I brought up one of the illustrations, which was the muscle system. Then I clicked on the "X-Ray viewer", which has a "slider handle" that you just click on and drag up and down. Wherever you have the slide it shows an "X-Ray" view of the part of the body that you have the slider over! So you can look at one illustration, click on the X-Ray viewer and slide it down and now you can see what's "below" the body system you're viewing! I was looking at the muscular system and right around the neck level I clicked on the "X-Ray viewer". So at that point it shows the circulatory system just below where I clicked! Very cool!!!

human body

Here's another feature I liked called, "Virtual Reality" technology lets you move specific anatomical models to view them from a a variety of angles and perspectives. This is one of the 3-D models. Right below the model there's a section with some text that are detailed illustrations you can click on. (Again, I had to make these screen shots small so that I could include them here. The actual photos you see on the program are MUCH larger!) So you can click on an area of the diagram and you quickly zoom-in and get a "close up" view! If you double-click on an area of the photo, it'll bring up a page of text that gives you detailed information about what you're viewing!.

Plus you can click on a navigation arrow and now see the same section of the body from the side. Click again and now you see if from another angle! Cool, heh?

Human Body

There's just so much to this program and so many features, I can't list them all. Hopefully this will give you a taste of why I like this so much! And this retails for $29.99 (and worth every penny) but you don't have to pay that! You've not even going to pay half of that! Because today we've got this hugely popular program for just $9.97 and US shipping is FREE!!! But you better hurry cause these will be gone pretty quick!

P.S. If you have teenagers or college students, how much easier would it be for them to use this to help them with their biology homework assignments!!! Are you kidding me?? They'll love it!!


News Flash # 2 - WHAT A HIT! 

These sold like MAD yesterday! People were crammin' the digital aisles to get a cable or two, that's for sure! Hey, if you've ever been stuck paying $40+ for a USB cable from one of the big box stores, you can appreciate this for sure! Plus, with 5 different connectors, it's compatible with EVERYTHING out there! Take a look, you'll be glad you did!

Worth It's Weight In Gold? You Bet It Is!!!

And Wait Til You See The Absolutely Amazing Deal YOU Get!!!

WOW!! High-End, 10 Foot USB Cable -

With 24k Gold Connectors!

Gold USB Cable

Along With ALL the USB Connectors You'll Ever Need

For Every Conceivable USB Device

In One Handy Package!

But Don't Pay Over $40 For A Single-Connection USB Cable That Others Will Charge You!

(Wait Till You See Our Deal!!!)

24k Gold Plated connectors! So why is that such a big deal? Faster And More Accurate Data Transfer...that's why! You see, gold plated connectors don't oxidize so you get great electrical contact! And that means a Faster and Higher quality data transfer! "Fast" (480 Mbps!) so you're not waiting for your information to transfer or download. "Higher quality", so you don't have to down load your data again 'cuz the data got corrupted during the process! And as you probably already know, 24k Gold is more expensive than your "run-of-the-mill" materials. That's why most USB cables don't have 24k gold connectors!

But as they say, "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link!" So let's take a look at the rest of this cable...and then I think you'll see why this is top-notch as far as quality goes! Well, the cable itself has a "Foil and Braid shielding", to reduce EMI/RFI interference! That's why the better cables use this type of shielding! So, in other words, this USB cable is constructed of the highest quality component material and it features 24K gold connectors for quality data transmissions! And if that was all, it would be plenty and well worth the price. But, we're not done yet!!!

Because what really makes this USB cable package incredible is that you ALSO get 5 different USB tips! (And, "Yeah"...they're all gold plated!!!) So instead of having to buy FIVE Different cables, This One Does It All!!!

Why do you need 5 different connectors? Well, ever notice how your printer takes one kind of end, your camera another, and maybe your phone or external HD takes yet another (different) type of connection? Normally, you'd have to search all over for an adapter or cord for those special connections - What a PAIN! With this, that problem is GONE forever! Just grab the connector you need, plug in and go - works with ALL equipment!! (and no - that isn't a special cable that came with your phone, camera, etc - just a special end so you think you need to buy an extra cable from the manufacturer)

To give you an idea of just how fantastic this deal is, I happened to see a link for ONE 10 foot USB cable with gold connectors at Best Buy. The price: $40.99!!! Here, check it out for yourself here.

Not a bad USB cable, but only ONE connector. We're giving you FIVE!!! Go ahead...do the math. (You're gonna fall over when you see our deal!!!)

So now you can connect your computer to your digital camera, printer, scanner, PDA, phone and more with this single USB cable!!! That's right....do it all with just ONE USB CABLE and NEVER worry about the type of connection!!! Made of the finest materials available!!! Here are the connectors (Gold Plated!!!) that are included:

USB Type A
Type B
Mini A
Mini B
Type A female extension

Gold USB Cable

And finally, you can keep all these tips stored in this cool carrying pouch!!

And this cable is USB 2.0...but it's also backwards compatible with 1.x, so you can use it with your older USB devices! PLUS it's "Plug and Play" so no messin' around with software or anything else., Just plug it in and you're good to go! Oh, one more thing...It's also "Hot-Swappable", so you don't need to "power-down" your computer. You can plug your components right in..."on-the-fly"!!!

So, lets see....

You could go somewhere else and spend $40.99 EACH...times FIVE connectors for a total of $204.95!!! Or you could get this fantastic 10 Foot USB cable with FIVE (count 'em...FIVE) Gold Plated connectors....with "Foil and Braid shielding" for (gasp...choke...cough...) only $14.97!!!! And we'll through in US shipping for nothin'!!! Yeah, that's for real...$14.97 and US Shipping is FREE!!! I'm almost embarrassed to list this so low! But we got a great deal with our supplier so...what the heck! Why not "share the love"! But don't wait a second on this 'cuz these are gonna fly out the door!!! After all...everybody else is seeing this too!!! Here's your link...

http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=5167

Gold USB Cable

P.S. - Unfortunately, we don't have an unlimited supply. (At this price...are you kiddin'???) With this, all your USB devices are covered...so you ARE gonna need these connectors if you don't already need 'em now! Might as well get the best in quality at a phenomenal deal!!

Computers 101

Q:
What is "Safe mode"?

A:
Safe mode is a Windows maintenance mode where only the bare minimum of drivers are loaded. You don't have access to CD ROMs, printers, or other non-essential devices.

It's helpful to use this mode when you are having problems with your PC. For example, maybe you just installed an awesome new video card, but in all the excitement loaded the wrong driver for it. This in turn caused your video display under windows to be non-existant. If you go into Safe mode, you can fix it.

I also use it to help find problems with programs. If I get lots of "illegal operation" messages, I try running the program in safe mode to see if the program itself is the problem. If the program runs fine in safe mode, I can assume I have another program or driver that's interfering with the program's operation and causing the error. (Note that not all software runs in Safe mode - especially more robust programs, but it's still worth a shot).

To get to Safe mode, press the F8 key when Windows starts to boot. You have to do this BEFORE you see the first "Windows" screen. I start tapping away at mine when as soon as I get by the BIOS startup screen or the manufacturer's splash screen. Experiment and you'll get it.

MS Office

Subscripts In Excel?

You bet!

As with everything else, it's just a matter of knowing what you have and where to find it.

So, let's assume that you're trying to put something like this...

...into an Excel worksheet.

You click into a cell and type H2O… then it starts.

What "it" do I refer to?

Why the wasted time you spend searching for a way to make just the 2 a subscript, what else?

Now, it's possible that with an older version of Excel you've customized the toolbars and have a subscript button handy.

Of course, the problem is that when you click it everything becomes subscript text.

Not what we need, now what?

For those of you using Excel 2007 you're looking at the Home tab of the Ribbon in the Font section and there isn't a subscript button and no way to add one…

So, you're also asking what now?

In the end, all users regardless of version need to accomplish the same tasks.

Specifically, you need to…

1. Click into the formula bar and select just the 2.

2. Open the Format Cells dialog box (with just the 2 still selected).

a. Older versions of Excel will use the Format menu, Cells choice.

b. Excel 2007 users must use the Font section's dialog box launcher (small arrow in the bottom right corner) on the Home tab.

3. On the Font tab of the Format Cells dialog box, select Subscript and click OK.

Voila! Cell text changed to subscript - but only the characters you choose.

More Cool Stuff

The BEST Wireless Headphones We've EVER Tested...PERIOD!!!

Every Once In a While, Something Comes Along That Just Stands Out from the crowd. Because It's THAT Good. Well, This Is One of Those Times And This Is One of Those Items. These Are Just In A League All Of Their Own!!!

Wireless Headphones

Oh, MY!! Wait Till You Hear How Amazing These Sound!!!

If You've Ever Dreamed Of Owning A Set Of Wireless Headphones...

NOW's The Time! Our Lowest Price EVER!!!!

Over the years we've tested a lot of wireless headphones, and all I can say is that these are so VASTLY superior to ANY others we've tried, that it isn't even close! If you think I'm excited about these, you're absolutely right! Let me tell you why...

Imagine sitting out back relaxing on your patio in a lawn chair, listening to your favorite songs playing on the stereo (that's inside the house!). You can even get up and walk around and still be listening to your music, all in total comfort and style! Turn on your music and sit outside late at night and you don't have to worry about disturbing the neighbors!

Oh, and these aren't your average wireless headphones either! They are a kind of 4-in-1 deal - These Can Be Any Of The Following At The Flip Of A Switch!

Wireless Headphones (works with any MP3 player, iPod, stereo, even most TVs!!)

FM Radio (built into the headphones)

Wireless Internet Chat Microphone (the base has a mic built in!!!)

Wireless Monitoring (set the base in another room and listen with the built-in mic)

Listen In Private While You Listen In Comfort

These have sooooo many uses! Just imagine - you could be mowing the lawn while listening to your favorite FM radio station...maybe catching the ball game! If you get restless late at night and can't sleep and want to jump on the computer and listen to some videos on the Internet or even watch TV...no problem! These wireless headphones will give you incredible sound all without disturbing anyone around you! You can even get up and go to the fridge to grab a snack and you don't even need to take off your headphones! (Ahhh...the freedom to roam without being tied down to the computer or stereo by a cord!)

Wireless HeadphonesWhen you take these out of the box you're gonna be amazed! They even look rich! The earpieces have a soft, "cushy" feel to them. Even the band that rests on the top of your head is covered by the same soft, luxurious, padded covering! Before I even plugged them in, I had to try them on to see how they felt and Ohhh...these are SO incredibly comfortable! And they're amazingly lightweight...I couldn't believe it!  You can walk around with these on all day and never get tired of them!

And as far as the sound goes, these headphones are AWESOME!!! When you turn these on, oh my goodness...you're NOT gonna believe what you hear! They sound as rich as they feel! And the volume is strong...you can really crank these up if you want to with the volume control right on the earmuff! No "tinny", thin sound here! These have a strong, robust sound that just surrounds you in music! But that's not all..

How would you like to turn on your computer and have a "wireless" chat on the Internet while you surf the Web? Well you definitely can because this is the perfect audio chat tool! All you do is plug one end of the cable (that's included!) into the microphone jack of the emitter and the other end into the microphone jack of your computer and now you can listen and chat, with the comfort of your wireless headphones! (The "emitter" that comes along the the headphones serves as the "control center" and also houses a microphone that you can use right along with your headphones!)

Hi-Fidelity, Multimedia Entertainment

Oh and by the way, you can use these wireless headphones with just about ANY audio device - an mp3 player, CD or DVD player, your computer, game player, radio even your TV! You don't need a separate set of headphones to work with each piece of audio equipment...this does it all!!! In comfort, style and the convenience of being wireless!!! Oh my!!! THIS is gonna be huge! In fact, I predict, no...I know this will be one of our best, all time selling products...I kid you not!!! And at the price that we're letting these go, it's easy to understand why!

Wireless Headphones

When I first saw these, I thought these were $70-80 headphones...easy! I mean these are "high sensitivity", interference resistant with a strong signal output and outstanding performance. Well, I have to be honest with you. We fell into a super, unbelievable deal with one of our suppliers. And rather than charge what these should really go for, we thought we'd pass along the huge savings. And who knows...maybe you'll think it's so good that you'll want to send this page to a friend! So, are you ready for this? Today as a special promotion we're letting these go for only $24.97 and U.S. shipping is FREE!!! http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=5065

I know...you think we're nuts! Well, probably... but why not? We got a great deal so we want to make sure that EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE gets a set of these headphones cuz they can be used in so many different ways for so many different things. And the SOUND and the way they FEEL!!! Well, all I can say is I think this is one of the best buys ANYONE can make! So grab one of these right now!

http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=5065

P.S. If it's any indication, it's still the beginning of summer but I'm grabbing a few of these for Christmas presents! (Heck, even I know a great deal when I see one!)

The Most Incredible SD Card EVER Conceived! REALLY!

dual card reader

Too Good To Be True? That's What We Thought, But Read On...

Imagine...you're at a party at a friend's house and, of course, you take your camera along and you take a bunch of pictures. What happens next? EVERYBODY wants to see the pictures, right? At this point, you're probably thinking you're gonna have to go home, download all the pictures onto YOUR computer and then send emails to EVERYBODY who wants to see them!!! (there goes your night!) Well, maybe that was then...but not now!!

How 'bout this instead: just take out your SD card from your camera, take off the end of your new Secure Digital Dual and now you have a USB connector...ON THE END OF YOUR SD CARD!!! Just plug that into your friend's computer and now Everybody Can See All Those Photos Right On The Computer!!! Right then and there!!! You're the hero of the party AND you don't have to spend all night emailing photos just so people can see them!!!

Yeah, I know...."Where was this five years ago?" Well, it didn't exist back then....but we got 'em now!!!! And you are gonna love this card!

I'm sure you've gone on vacation, were out for the day taking some great shots and you wanted to see how they looked. Not just on that tiny LCD on your camera! You know...."How they really look!" You didn't bring your card reader or your camera cable or even your laptop! (Or even if you did, maybe you just don't want to take the time to mess with them, 'cuz now you don't have to!) All you have to do is take that card and just plug it right into the USB port of the computer at the hotel and Voila! "You've Got Pictures!" (How's that for "Instant"!)

And in case you were wonderin', you won't have to be standin' around the computer waiting all day for the photos to download 'cuz this card is FAST... screamin' fast! It has a rated speed of 80x! That's double the rating of the most SD cards! So your files will transfer faster than with a "typical" SD card!!!

PLUS you can load this card with photos 'cuz it sports 1 full GB of memory!! That means it'll hold an average of 230-300 photos from an 8 mega-pixel camera (depending on the specific size of each photo). No more having to delete some pictures so you can take some more! Heck, you've got room to keep 'em all and go thru 'em later! (Now that's what I like!)

And this supersized SD card isn't just for photos! It's an SD card! It's a "souped-up" SD card, but it'll work with any device that uses an SD card!!! So this will work with ANY FILES that fit on an SD card! Say you're at a friends house and they have some songs you want to snag real quick while you're there so you can load them on your computer at home. No problem....as long as you've got your "souped-up" SD card! Just plug this card right into the USB port of their computer and transfer away! And remember, you've got 1GB of memory so you've got TONS of storage room!

This SD card is so versatile you'll want to take it wherever you go - and you can 'cuz it'll fit right in your pocket or purse! But you won't have to empty your wallet or purse to get this "souped-up" SD card...not today anyway. Right now, today...try $12.97 and US shipping is FREE!!!

Tip of the Day

How to Encrypt Your Gmail

You’re booking your Alaskan cruise and the travel agent shoots you an email. He needs your Social Security Number for the insurance form. You’re about to reply when a suspicion crosses your mind--is it safe to send this info via email?

Your daughter needs to buy her college textbooks and emails you for your credit card number. Besides the nagging concern that she may use it to supply her dorm party, you wonder if your credit card number can be intercepted in cyberspace.

You’ve polished up your resume and need to email it to a headhunter. But you’re a bit paranoid. What if a competitor for the position snags it? Or worse, what if your boss is spying on you?

Your concerns are real. Did you know that whenever you send an email it travels from your computer through multiple servers? If you’re in a public place using a WiFi connection it’s even riskier; you may be sharing private info with the guy sitting at the next table.

Enter encryption.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines encryption as “using a secret code so as to be unintelligible to unauthorized parties.” In other words, encrypting your email allows you to send it securely without lurkers being able to read it.

Here’s how it works. You compose an email and then encrypt it before you hit the send button. When it reaches the intended recipient, it will read just like a normal email. However, if it lands in an unauthorized mailbox, the email will not be readable because it will be filled with random, garbled letters.

So instead of this:
Jim: let’s discuss my compensation and benefits for the VP of Investments position.

The encrypted email would read something like this:
Smo3v rG9s20p wn4JKt mp2nGse gpaEnP24s p4dB Fxqot3 mp9P 7ekP4a jPo2vX

Pretty neat, huh?

So how do you do this? It’s easier than you think. There are two ways to send encrypted Gmail.

The first way is to simply type an additional letter into your browser window. You normally access your mail through the URL http://mail.google.com. This is the default for Google’s email system.

If you want to send your email securely, however, simply use https://mail.google.com instead. See the difference? It’s the addition of the letter “s” after http. The “s” stands for secure. Your email box will function and appear the same as before. The only difference is that now all your email will be sent encrypted until it reaches its final destination. Typing in the one extra letter is all that it takes.

The second way to encrypt your email involves making it a permanent setting. If you’re concerned you won’t remember to manually type in the extra “s” whenever you need to send email securely, you can set up your Gmail account so that every email goes out automatically encrypted.

To make the secure setting your default, click on Settings at the top of the page.

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen. Go to Browser connection.

Check Always use https. Click Save Changes.

You’re all set! Your email is now as secure as Fort Knox.

Next Stop

What are your favorite things to do in town? What is really worth seeing where you live? Not only are these questions I can answer readily but with Next Stop I can share my recommendations with the whole world, and guess what, you can too! If you were coming to Toledo I’d recommend you check out the Toledo Zoo, and the Art Museum. Both are well worth exploring on a visit to Toledo.

Next Stop provides you with recommendations from local people to the location you selected. They also allow you to write recommendations for your town as well. Their focus is on short and positive recommendations.

To get started recommending place you’ll need to get registered. To do so is easy; just click Join Next Stop at the top of the page. Fill out the form with a username, e-mail address, and then create a password and click the Create Account button. Once you’re registered, you’ll be automatically logged in and on your profile page. Here you can edit your information and get started with your recommendations and guides. I don’t have time to write a guide at the moment but I did make two quick recommendations. Check them out here. The way the profile page is setup, you have a guide for what to do every step of the way because they explain everything so beautifully.

Be sure to check out the challenges section, you can write guides that will help out charities and more. For example, I’m going to go back and write a guide about places to eat in Toledo, so that they’ll donate 5lbs. of food to America’s Second Harvest Food Bank.

Don’t want to register because you don’t have anything to recommend, that’s fine there is still plenty for you to do at this site. You can type in a location into the search engine, and find out all sorts of things to do there on your vacation – or it could help you decide to make the trip there!

On the home page you can see all sorts of popular recommendations, as well as, a listing of popular destinations – make sure to check these out if you’re headed in that direction!

Hey, if you are ever, in your life, going to buy another computer or need to get data from one computer to another, this amazing accessory is absolutely, positively a MUST-HAVE!

Let me ask you a question or two :-)

Have you ever needed to get the files from one computer to another? You know what I mean, maybe you just got a new computer and you want to get all your files, songs, photos, etc from the old computer to the new one. Maybe you have a laptop and wish there was an easy to way to get share your laptop and desktop files. Maybe you need a file or some photos off of a friend's computer. Who knows, maybe you just have a really big file that needs transferred from one computer to another.

So, are you still doing it the old way? Do you try and copy Gigs and Gigs of info to a flash drive? Burn dozens of CD-ROMs? Or worse - Try to e-mail the files? (Please tell me you're not doing that!) Don't ya wish there was a better way? There is!

We have these amazing Data Transfer Cables and they're going to change your computing life forever! They allow you to quickly and easily transfer files from one computer to another via the USB ports (PC to PC or PC to MAC)! Get this - you just plug the unit into the computer that has the files you want, then plug the included cable into the computer you want to transfer those file to - that's it! An Explorer-like window will open up one each screen and you just drag and drop! Anyone can do it, and it's MUCH easier than messing around with CDs or Flash drives!

What about the install? HA - There is none! Just plug and play, these have the drivers built right in! If you can pop in a USB plug and click a mouse, you're in the club!

Plus, these are USB 2.0, so it's like transferring your data with a souped-up Ferrari! Talk about fast - you'll be blown away at how quickly you get files from one computer to another. Oh, and don't worry if you only have USB 1.x - still works just fine!

I tell ya, there is simply no better way to get files from computer to computer! Just wait till the next time you need to move either large numbers or large size files - you'll be THRILLED you grabbed this! I love to use it when I'm transferring my photos from my trips off my laptop onto my main computer - it's an incredible time saver! Oh, and just wait till you upgrade to your next computer - your data is going to be there before you know it. Works for ANY kind of file you have too! Seriously, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it! You'll find it becomes as essential to your computer as your mouse! 

Why spend countless hours burning CDs and trying to transfer large files with flash drives? Just plug this into your computers, drag and drop, and be done with it already!

If you're ever, in your life, going to get another computer or need to get a file from one computer to another, you absolutely, positively MUST get yourself one of these!

Your cost for all this file-moving bliss? For today, we're talkin' just $16.97 and US shipping is FREE! Insane not to get one! Oh, and if you don't think it's as cool as I say it is, you can send it back within 60 days for a refund! That's how confident I am that you'll love this too!

 Golden Canyon

This was taken in Death Valley Nat. Park near the overlook at Zabriski Point. It was early morning and the amazing golden light really turned the already gold-colored hills even more yellow.
