Laptop Power Options in Vista and Windows 7

There are a couple methods for accessing Power Options. One that will work in XP, Vista, or Windows 7 is through the Run command. The easiest way to bring up Run, is to use the keyboard shortcut (Win+R). In the Run dialog box, type (or copy and paste) powercfg.cpl

Or, in Vista and Windows 7, Run can be skipped altogether. Just type power options into Start search and hit Enter or click the Power Options link.

I am not going into the power options itself but just going to let you know the easiest way to get there. the settings are easy. you can find more info at Worldstart

Mom and Me in California

This guest post from Hong Alexander

My mom asked me to go on vacation this year with her and I think we’ve decided to go to California. She’s never seen San Francisco and it’s one of my favorite cities since there’s so much to see and do there. She’s a huge foodie, so I know she’ll love eating her way across the city and I just love all the culture and museums they have out there. She said she’s a bit nervous about being away from the house for so long so I pointed her to totalALARMsystems.com where she could look into an affordable alarm system. I know mom and I are going to have a blast but we’ve never really spent this much time together for no reason but pleasure, so I hope there aren’t any fights or anything! I love my mom but she can definitely be stubborn at times and she’s got a big of a hot temper. I guess we’ll find out soon whether or not we should be allowed to vacation together for a week at a time!
