I order this lens from Amazon, well, the package came fast as expected because of 1 day shipping. It’s okay to pay extra to ensure the transaction and service. I am totally a newbie in photography. In the very first place, I just want a cam that is much better than point&shoot cam I have so I bought Canon XS. The cam is great at the price as it is the cheapest cam with live view function.

Once I got the Sigma 18-125 lens, it made me feel solid, well build, and somewhat heavier than 18-55 kit lens. I prefer not comment anything about picture quality or sharpness as I am new. I have spent 3 days shooting about 200 pics during daytime, I like it. BUT I opened return to change new one! It was because I feel not so sure about the noise inside the lens and I noticed the hard time to get it focus at night inside my room.

I assumed that it is something wrong while it was shipped. Amazon did a terrible job on packing the item. They were only 2 air bags inside the parcel and the lens box ran loose inside. I just got new unit this afternoon and will try again tonight under the same condition. This time they put 3 air bags inside the parcel. I haven’t try it yet but feel the lens has less noise.

If Amazon read this, pleas improve your packaging quality. I used to order a sdhc from other site and it was packed in the same parcel size with tons of foam. This is $300 lens not cloth, please be more CAREFUL.

Anyway, I still recommend you to order from Amazon because you can still change it in case anything wrong.

Back in November I made my first-ever trip to New York City with Sarah for WordCamp New York 2009. I’ve been backed up on my photo workflow, but am gradually catching up. Here are my New York photos at long last.

I’m trying to move away from Flickr towards something I can control. I’m also experimenting with the include parameter of WordPress’ shortcode to pull in photos that aren’t actually attached to this post.

e.g.

The White House Flickr feed never fails to disappoint! This batch of photos might be our favorite yet, with pics of the Obamas getting down at the Governors Ball, some friendly First and Second family basketball rivalry, a drum line in the White House's Cross Hall and a shot of Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag's hipster boots. Take a look and let us know which image is your favorite:

LOS ANGELES  — Three Los Angeles elementary school teachers
accused of giving children portraits of O.J. Simpson, Dennis Rodman and
RuPaul to carry in a Black History Month parade have been removed from
their classrooms, a school district spokeswoman said Wednesday.

View full sizeA photo of RuPaul, seen here in a 2001 publicity still from a television appearance, was among the photos carried by students in a Los Angeles classroom during a Black History Month parade. School officials said 3 teachers were removed from their classes after some of the black Americans featured in the parade were deemed to be inappropriate and a mockery of the event.

Children
from other classes at the school displayed photos of more appropriate
black role models, such as Nelson Mandela, Harriet Tubman and President
Barack Obama, Los Angeles Unified School District spokeswoman Gayle
Pollard-Terry said.

The incident occurred Friday at Wadsworth
Avenue Elementary School in South Los Angeles, where the student body
is more than 90 percent Latino.

District Superintendent Ramon
Cortines placed the teachers — all white men who teach first, second
and fourth grades — on administrative leave on Tuesday while an
investigation is conducted, Pollard-Terry said.

“The superintendent will not let anyone make a mockery out of Black History Month,” she said.

The
issue was brought to district officials' attention by the Los Angeles
chapter of the NAACP after the organization received a complaint early
Monday, chapter President Leon Jenkins said.

Jenkins said he felt the teachers acted in concert to mock black heroes and children's innocence.

“These
are not the people we want our young people to emulate or believe these
people represent the best of the African-American community,” Jenkins
said. “It's hard for the NAACP to believe this was a mistake.”

Simpson,
a former NFL star, is serving a nine-year prison sentence for robbery
and kidnapping. He was famously acquitted in 1995 of murdering his
ex-wife and her friend.

RuPaul is a drag queen performer. Rodman,
a former NBA star, has gained notoriety for bad boy behavior on and off
the basketball court.

Some parents at the school on Wednesday said the issue was overblown.

Sharon
Tinson, who has two daughters at the school and attended Friday's
celebration, said she had been surprised to see Simpson displayed in
the parade. But she noted that Simpson, like Rodman, was a great
athlete before falling from grace. RuPaul simply has an alternative
lifestyle, she added.

She noted the event also included a tribute to pop singer Michael Jackson, who has also had a checkered career.

“I kind of laughed at it,” Tinson said. “I wasn't offended.”

Gabriel Blackson, whose son attends the school, said he also took a larger view of the ruckus.

“These
guys were heroes before. People make mistakes,” he said. “I think they
show kids they can be somebody, to push them to be somebody.”

Jenkins said he is calling for the teachers to be fired.

(Associated Press Writer Christina Hoag authored this report.)

Rapper Trina claims her cell phone was stolen and someone leaked several personal photos, which include very tame and naked pictures (watch video below). The photos that showed Trina’s nasty rash have created major controversy and also damaged the rapper’s image but not all of those x-rated pictures were real.

“[The images are] me on a very upset day — I think I was in Canada, upset crying,” she explained. “Just personal stuff. Photos in the studio. I think was me having an allergic reaction, breaking out. I just think it was my personal stuff and for someone to do that is so, so wrong.

“So now I’m actually having it looked into by the FBI and it’s gonna be a bigger situation than just leaked photos. Hopefully we can deal with the situation and put an end to it.”

Apparently whoever stole/found Trina’s cell phone threatened to leak the pictures if she didn’t pay up. There is an easy way to put an end to the compromising nude leaked photos scandals – don’t take those pictures! Stay away from cameras! Don’t take your clothes off for any type of camera! It’s not that difficult.

Grabouw, 20 February 2010
1st
2h22′ish

Midway through the bike course I glanced down at my legs, goose flesh shriveled pistons willed on by heart and mind, heat treated to total dehydrated. As was everything else. I still could not get a sweat droplet onto my sunnies, my Enduren was nearly all out. “Kid, you’re going to blow”. Was all I could think. Had I over cooked it? I couldnt think.

Arriving into Grabouw yesterday was manic in the most positive sense. Dylan had driven me over, as he had two years (we were still listening to Faithless’ Insomnia) – we hadnt spoken much. Stopping road side for a slash meant 1 – Hydration was working and 2 – some 20 vehicles loaded with bikes laid into the hooter. Exodus to Grabouw en mass. Really brilliant to see and be a part of that feel – that momentum of outdoor lifestyle choice.

750 athletes enjoyed the Xterra Lite, which was getting into running as I arrived. They’d maxed out the transition with many having no choice but to ready their transition stash like a picnic on the cricket oval. It was noticible, the amount of youth in the Lite, so awesome.

Big shout out to Oaklands High School, for making the trip from Knysna. Hope you guys got home safely. I believe the size of the Lite is a show of new interest, and hope they’ll evolve to the full next year.

Arriving in all this was some buzz. Seems no matter how early I plan to arrive – and perhaps staying in the aircon till later yesterday was better than warmup – it always gets a little frenzied. Warmup routine, racking, tracing my race number (had forgotten my 2XU race belt), staying hydrated, dodging ques at the toilet… But made it down to swim start semi orderly.

One lap 1500m wetsuit legal swim in the most serene water. So stunning, the mountains and sky from water level. After a solid start effort, I settled in, 4th feet maybe. Felt great, comfortable, and to plan, till I noticed my feet had let go of his feet: Kent Horner, my marker for the day, had pulled a few metres with a team swimmer. I responded immediately but damage done. And again, had to swim the majority of the swim on my own. Little disappointed, as I’d really been intent on sticking. That aside, fair swim, stroke felt good, and my second outing in the V:1 2XU confirmed my suspicion’s: Legal cheating in a medium is more my fit.

Spectators lined the entire swim exit to transition pathway – like a corridor of pumping support. Kent had 37 seconds lead onto the bike. 37seconds means:

I get to watch him for a while, being the chaser and not the chased.

Can gauge relative strength, by speed of gap closing.

And psychologically toughen the challenge by passing. Passing is horrible.

I biked up alongside Kent on a small hike-a-bike section, one trying to out walk the other. For all our speedy training, there we were, one foot infront of the other at snails pace. I managed to mount a meter before, and pushed down with all I had sitting on the front edge of my saddle. The gradient was ride-able but still hurtful, into a sandy left, and onto the fire road withouth glancing back. The heat was sweltering. I kept pressure, trying to stay smooth with a high cadence. I wanted but couldnt get out of the saddle. Only later did I look back, on a switch back, to check the damages. I had 200m. Thats all I needed.

After a bike setup with Jeroen Swart at Sport Science Institute 10 days ago, I’ve been getting comfi with an entirely new position. Its power. I could not recommend his expertise more. Especially my climbing feels to be more comfortable and in control. I’d been out to Grabouw 5 times in the past two weeks. But the course is like a cameleon, ever changing. The rock that wasnt there, the branch that had been moved. I picked my way down loose terrain, slid out on pine needles for a light crash, kept sipping Enduren, and felt like I was on.

But then it stopped, the power sensation.

Had I over cooked it? How could I be on empty so soon?

I throttle back. I needed my coffee fix in the morning, but its a diuretic? Maybe I shouldnt have. Before I can dictate this flow of thoughts, I’ve lost focus and energy and a few precious seconds. My mouth was dry, my skin was dry.

I stopped at the drinks station, unclipped, and knocked back three cups of water. Never before have I stopped on the bike at an aid station. It was time well spent. Together with easing off from from full tilt, I got to the final climb before the rock garden holding it together as best I could. My old man was out in the sun, with precious information. 3′ he said. I needed to hear that. Partly as a boost and partly as security for taking less risks through the sketchy single track.

I loved the rock garden in pre-riding. So testing. So perfect for my full suspension Epic. Now it was tricky getting my hazey mind to control my hands. Like a ragdoll.

From here it was a a quick push to transition. A quick push to more water, to more Enduren. Its strange, feeling so on the edge, so close to shutdown, but only pushing at 80%.

Shuffled to the first water point, and got a 4′50 bike end split there, as well as 6 water saches. Between them, and the swim in the stream crossing, I got my core temp down, and blood flowing more to muscles than skin for cooling. I’d thankfully got friendly with this climb last weekend, and felt like I knew exactly what needed to be done. Aid station to aid station.

Having seen Chad Gordon numerous times in Grabouw over the past weeks for chiro treatment – I’d jogged on the beach finish a handful of times in the past month. This time it was not alone, not without arrows, not without my sister there going crazy, or a crowd on the far side, or a chopper keeping pace.

I wanted this one. I needed this one.

My sense of relief was like a wave you didnt know was building. Grateful. To have talent and opportunity from my father in Heaven. Grateful to have family and friends present, to have new coach beaming, to have Specialized’s Global Marketing Manager present for my first outing in his Specialized kit design. Grateful to be on the board, to finish after last years mechanical. Grateful to end the chapter and start the next block.

Seems it stretched out to 7min by the finish, to Kent Horner. He’s a class act, and suffered in the heat. Would have been a closer race had conditions been normal. Third was Nico Pfitzenmaier, a German now residing in the Cape. Mari Rabie won the ladies race without hesitation – amazing effort. Michelle Lombardi 2nd, and Hanli Booyens 3rd.

This morning my stomach hurts more than my limbs. Had a feast last night. Off to catch up and plan with coach in a moment, maybe after another Zambian coffee, and late afternoon I’m joining a kids duathlon in Grabouw.

If you were in the 70% that survived and finished the full:

What a champion. Congrats to you.

Ladies and gentlemen it’s here! The countdown is on and we are about to cross the psychological number of 100 days left to go. FIFA Soccer World Cup has become the most awaited sports event in recent history not just because of its magnitude but because it comes to the world’s most colourful continent – Africa!

While the Western media still doubts South Africa’s capability to hold the tournament and always throwing jibes at the continent, the South African authorities are ready to make a buzz of this as 2nd March counts exactly 100 days to the start of this magnanimous event.

What should South Africa do to convince the world that it is ready?:

I have had to ask myself, what else will South Africa do to convince the world that it is not only ready, but capable of hosting and hosting well, the World Cup?

He continues:

The countdown, therefore, has nothing to do with the readiness of the teams, rather it tends to sensitise us to the greatest single sport spectacle on earth. And in this wise, the South Africans can be assured of my vote. The South Africans have so woven life round the World Cup that long after the competition had gone, (just one month) the legacy that will be left behind will be awesome.

The BlaBla Blog puts it into perspective (albeit more practical) by focusing on the ‘fly the flag for 2010 in South Africa event which is a celebration of this important milestone,

2 March is therefore earmarked as a day on which South Africans, here and abroad, are called upon to demonstrate their excitement for the tournament and to display their passion for the country and the beautiful game

In an interesting survey from the South African Road Safety blog, the figures show that 85 % of the South Africans believe the country’s ready to host the tournament:

a record high (85%) of South Africans supporting the preparation ahead of the World Cup has surfaced in African Response’s latest 2010 Barometer – measuring perceptions of readiness ahead of the World Cup in around the major metropolitans in South Africa

However, South Africans are cognisant of the fact that there is still work to be done ahead of the World Cup and 61% agree that we need to focus on policing and security if our visitors are to leave our shores having had a good experience in our country

The SouthAfrica WorldCupBlog was more satirical in its post titled – Here come the fat cats of FIFA…:

FIFA President Sepp Blatter joined many other dignitaries for a 100-day countdown bash in Durban. Local Organizing Committee Chief Executive Danny Jordaan will be present along with Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe. Other participating celebrities include Jay Jay Okocha, Roger Milla, Mark Fish, and Hossam Hassan.

It also highlights the issues still grappling the organisers especially on the issue of the infrastructure in particular the stadium(s):

The latest concerns surround the quality of playing surfaces that are available at both the host stadiums and at some of the training bases chosen by the participating teams.”… The fields were boggy and saturated so the English FA contracted Richard Hayden, from the Sports Turf Research Institute to work on improving their condition. He did such a good job that FIFA signed him up to work on all the problematic pitches around the training camps.

According to Soccerway.com, South Africa is still wooing fans with 100 days remaining:

President Jacob Zuma in his state of the nation address urged locals to buy more tickets and to support the games to honour former president Nelson Mandela, who lobbied to bring the World Cup here. Mandela was central in assisting the country to win the rights to host this great event. We therefore have to make the World Cup a huge success in his honour,” said Zuma. “The infrastructure, security and logistics arrangements are in place to ensure a successful tournament.

“We will deliver a great World Cup,” declares The Times Online blog:

The rising excitement across the nation is palpable and South Africa is about to show the world what Africa is capable of doing. We are a nation with major social challenges, but we will deliver a great World Cup

Finally BushRadio’s blog discusses the events arranged to mark the occasion:

The deputy president will then join a major public celebration at the Durban city hall where a range of festivities will provide a foretaste of the colour and energy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament,”
And also,
Marking the day also Bafana Bafana will play host to neighbours Namibia on Wednesday evening, kick-off at 20h30. The hosts go into the International Friendly in good form after 6-2 and 3-0 wins over Swaziland and Zimbabwe respectively.

Media Release from Stellenbosch University

Stellenbosch University (SU) is to host the biggest known soccer game ever to be played in South Africa. The Flash Mob Soccer event, consisting of 500 players – 250 per side – is planned for 12:30 on Wednesday 3 March.

“The event forms part of SU’s Support 2010 Campaign in which the University is actively involved on various football fronts, including internal 2010 awareness campaigns and events, strategic partnerships, commercial ventures, and a 2010 legacy project aiming to educate and develop children through sport,” said Prof Julian Smith, Vice-Rector: Community Interaction and Personnel and main coordinator of the Support 2010 Campaign.

The event wil combine the excitement of the rapidly approaching 2010 FIFA World CUP with so-called flash mob events which became very popular over the last few years. A flash mob event consists of a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, briefly perform an unusual and pointless act and then quickly disperse.

The parking area at the Langenhoven Student Centre is to be converted into a massive street soccer pitch and will be surrounded by high fencing with playing lines demarcated with industrial red tape. Goal posts will also be erected as well as a stage for the master of ceremonies and referees.

“In support of the 2010 Fifa World Cup Soccer Tournament and SU’s Support 2010 Campaign, instructors of the Stellenbosch University Sport Performance Institute (SUSPI) will be teaching and coordinating a massive Diski Dance at the event,” Ms Gugu Ntuli, CEO of SUSPI, said.

In addition, four flash mob moments will be held at random times during the match when everyone will be asked to freeze and then start again when the referee’s whistle is blown.

“The Maties Football Club also throws its full weight behind this event, as with all other football related activities on campus, to promote, create excitement and support the hosting of a great World Cup in South Africa,” Mr Garth le Roux, Sport Manager: Soccer, added.

“The event is definitely a new spin on soccer,” says Mr Martin de Abreu, organiser of the event and Station Manager of MFM 92.6 (the campus and Stellenbosch community radio station), “We have sought to create events that are soccer related and different. At the end of 2009 we ran a successful Foosball competition and will now follow it up with this event. Other events in the pipeline is a street soccer tournament and an XBox tournament.”

Some 3000 information brochures have already been distributed by MFM 92.6 and some lucky prizes, such as cash prizes worth R500 and an Adidas soccer ball worth R1 000, can be won. The Stellenbosch student residence that enters the most participants will also win R1 000.

The event is open to the public and first 500 entries received will take part in the game.

March in March

Also on Wednesday 3 March, staff and students will take part in the Office for Institutional HIV Co-ordination’s annual March in March. The March forms part of the Office’s annual HIV testing campaign. The March, starting at the corner of Ryneveld and Merriman Streets at 13h00, will end at the Flash Mob Soccer event. Participants in the Flash Mob Soccer event will each were an HIV ribbon in support of the HIV testing campaign.

MORE INFORMATION ON THE SUPPORT 2010 CAMPAIGN

Stellenbosch University has forged a partnership with the Stellenbosch Municipality as well as with the Local Football Association (LFA) and Stellenbosch Tourism through means of the Rector-Mayoral forum and regular meetings are held. A number of development projects have also been initiated, with the goal of improving regional infrastructure and increasing the local community’s access to the beautiful game. Two projects jointly funded by the University and the Stellenbosch Municipality are the writing of a book on the history of soccer at Stellenbosch (managed by the history department) and the establishment of a Soccer 2010 website (www.stellenbosch2010.com) of particular importance.

The most ambitious project is undoubtedly Stellenbosch University’s Youth Sport Initiative – a project that will create a lasting legacy for the lives of disadvantaged youth in the greater Stellenbosch area. The project is aimed at developing young talent, in particular girls and children with disabilities, through football. It will involve the construction of a purpose-built Football Centre where young people will receive educational support, life skills and football training of the highest quality – all in a safe environment. Already, a partnership with Germany’s Stars of Tomorrow, launched in December, will see an after school football programme.

The planned Football facility in Stellenbosch will consist of five multi-surface pitches, including grass, artificial turf, sand (beach soccer) and Futsal courts (five-a-side football), whose first phase will be completed by the first week of June, prior to kick off. Coupled with Stellenbosch University’s internal  fourteen month 2010 awareness campaign for students and staff, it is hoped that the World Cup will provide momentum towards this legacy project, thereby creating far-reaching benefit for the local community for years to come.

Best Digital SLR Camera

Toy Cameras by Dollymae Dagger

from here

There are some film cameras that are worth your money, and then there are others that you should stay far away from. However, the difficult point in buying a film camera is understanding what makes a great camera, and what makes a terrible film camera. When you are searching for a new film camera, it is incredibly important that it has been outfitted with all of the latest features that will allow you to take breathtaking photographs every time you use it. The Nikon F6 35mm SLR Autofocus Film Camera is one of my personal favorite film cameras because it will provide you with professional-quality photographs, without having to spend months learning the various functions of the camera.

Product Ratings:

Product Features: 5/5 Stars
Image Quality: 5/5 Stars
User-Friendliness: 5/5 Stars
Overall Rating: 5/5 Stars

Main Product Features:

This Nikon film camera has been deemed as one of the greatest film cameras to ever hit the market. The reason for this is because of its unique features that will allow even the most inexperienced photographer to take breathtaking photographs.

The first feature that caught my attention within this film camera is the highly improved autofocus system. This autofocus system will provide you with a unique Sensor Module (Multi-CAM 2000 AF), which will allow you to focus on an object extremely fast and accurately. The precision of this autofocus is absolutely breathtaking, allowing you to enjoy an eleven-area autofocus sensor region. There are also various autofocus m odes you are able to choose from, which include Group Dynamic Autofocus, Closest Subject Priority and Focus Tracking.

Another great feature this film camera will provide its users is its ability to be fully customized. Actually, this film camera has some of the highest levels of customization I have ever seen in any camera. With a total of 41 Custom Settings, you will be able to personalize this film camera to your unique shooting styles. Because of this, it is easier to create and manipulate your photographs, allowing you to find your unique style.

The shutter sound of most film cameras is extremely loud. For most photographers this isn't a problem, however, if you photograph animals then you understand that a loud shutter sound can ultimately ruin a photograph. Because of this Nikon has introduced a new technology that controls the mechanics within the shutter motor, which silences all of the vibrations and other noises that are associated with shutter sounds.

Product Price:

You will be able to find this film camera from Nikon at nearly any photography retail store, as well as online for an average price of just over $1,000.

This is a rumor and usually I don’t spend much time speculating about this sort of thing, but I’ve been hearing this one a lot, it’s allegedly 100% confirmed, and very interesting: Nikon to release 16-35 f/4 VR and 24mm f/1.4 lenses tomorrow. The gear in and of itself sounds cool, but what’s more important is that if this is true, it’s a significant move by Nikon into Canon’s lens territory.

If you spend any amount of time researching the differences between Canon and Nikon, you’re guaranteed to hear the following in Canon’s favor:

  • Canon has a strong line of high-quality f/4 zoom lenses, many of which feature image stabilization.
  • Canon has a solid lineup of fast, high-quality wide angle prime lenses.

The f/4 zooms are lightweight and versatile. The 24-105 f/4 L is the kit lens for Canon’s prosumer EOS 5D line, and considered one of the best all-around lenses one can purchase. And then there’s the fast, wide primes — lenses like the 24mm f/1.4 L and 35mm f/1.4 L are pretty much like carrying around night vision for your camera.

So now Nikon is rumored to be coming out with a 16-35mm f/4 VR and a 24mm f/1.4. If that is so they are doing a great job of listening to the photography community and using that information to close up whatever gaps their may be between them and their main competition.

So … when will we see a full-frame professional body from Canon with a high frame rate and mind-bending ISO capabilities?

Tomb Raider Anniversary on the Nintendo Wii: Review

model hilldale cinema by IHP

Read Number 1

If you want to get the best out of your Nintendo Wii, then you're going to have to do more than just buy a few games. With all of the innovation that goes into Nintendo's system, you owe it yourself to look up some of the peripherals that make the Wii's gaming all the more satisfying, even for the casual gamer.

1GB SD Memory Card Scandisk makes a SD card that works specifically with the Wii that allows you to store all of your Virtual Console games on it, without having to take up the space that's on the Wii's internal memory. Many question why you would spend that much money for a small SD card when the Wii already has its memory, but when considering the long haul things become clearer. Down the road you won't have to manage memory blocks, which means you'll be able to download anything and everything you want to without having to worry about getting rid of something else you're trying to convince yourself you won't ever need again. While you can easily find another SD card for cheaper, you run the risk of it not being capable with the Wii, which just about justifies the $20 price tag that Scandisk is asking for.

Wii Racing Wheel The innovation of the Wii's controller isn't exactly the best thing when it comes to certain games, notably racing games. Using a long controller as a steering wheel doesn't match up too well for most people and can lead to some discomfort when it comes to “driving.” Insert the Wii Racing Wheel, which allows you take hold of a familiar apparatus and add some semblance of control to an otherwise loose and disjoined grip. On the other hand, the racing wheel isn't attached to a base so you still might find yourself feeling a little bit more than awkward when you're trying to make a hairpin turn. Then again, priced at only $10 there's no shame in trying it out and seeing if it works for you.

Wii Blaster The Wii's controller itself is actually pretty good when it comes to acting like a gun of some sort, but its closer to a World War 2 era weapon rather than something modern gamers are more accustomed to seeing. Insert the Wii Blaster. With upcoming titles like the on-rail shooter Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, the need for a light gun has become even more pertinent. It works in conjunction with the Wii remote and the nunchuck to create an apparatus that easily allows movement, aiming and of course firing.

Wii Nunchuck Controller An absolute must when it comes to playing virtually any game for your Wii. Allowing unparalleled interaction that helps movement and actions with exclusive Wii games, there are simply not enough words to list all of the reasons why you should have this with every Wii Remote you buy.

Android Application To-Do List Review – Superdroid.Net Super List

Canon EOS 5D Mark II by creado.es

Elektrischer Rasierer Online Shop

I am thrilled with my T-mobile G1 google phone. One of my favorite features is the Android Apps. You can read about my first favorite Android Applications in my article 'Best Android Apps for the T-mobile G1 Phone.'

Myspace Mobile Android App for the T-mobile G1 Phone

I prefer the T-Mobile G1 Android Application Myspace Mobile to the web version. The mobile version of myspace is much cleaner and easier to navigate. The home menu gives you the choice to view your profile, friend status and mood, activities, friend requests, comments, bulletins, and blogs. By pressing the menu button on your G1 google phone you can select to update status & mood, search people, change settings, or logout.

The touch screen on the G1 phone allows you to press the envelop icon and check your myspace inbox. Press G1 phone menu in this section to compose an email, check sent emails, check saved emails, checked trashed emails and logout.

Your friends are easily accessible by clicking on the standard myspace friend icon. Press the G1 phone menu to see all of your friends, check which friends are online, toggle between your new friends and top friends, see upcoming birthdays, search within your friends, and logout.

The camera icon shows your albums. By clicking the menu button on the G1 phone you can add photos, view all, or logout.

DailyHoroscope by Max Binshtok Android App for the T-mobile G1 Phone

If you love to read your daily horoscope then I recommend the Android App DailyHoroscope by Max Binshtok. My favorite part about this Android Application is that you can change the color of the astrological sign images. You have the option to display common traits of each sign when you check the horoscope. It is a simple Android App but it seems pretty accurate!

Compass v1.0.6 by Bill Basaraba Android App for the T-mobile G1 Phone

The Compass Help screen explains, “You can rotate the compass dial using the touch screen. You can use the trackball to calibrate the compass or click the trackball to reset to the factory default for your phone.” Clicking the menu button on your G1 phone allows you to switch between analog, digital, and simple digital.

I am thrilled with this Android Application because I have absolutely zero sense of direction.

Translate by Cédric Beust Android App for the T-mobile G1 Phone

This translation Android Application is very handy. I am not an expert in multiple languages so I cannot attest to the quality of the translations. You can translate to and from Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Chinese simplified, Chinese traditional, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, and Ukrainian.

By pressing the menu button on your G1 phone you can see the history of your translations, translate a random word and send a SMS or email translation.

The purchase.

The Brush

The brush handle.

This brush is a close dupe of a MAC 109, it has a soft brush head with a shiny ferrule and a nice satin finish black painted handle. It looks professional and feels professional and its amazingly soft with a low amount of shed. The handle is embossed with Sigma SS 109 and the company logo. Overall, it lacks a little of the “heft” that a MAC brush has, the actual brush head seems to be less delicately shaped than a MAC brush and the bristles are less densely packed. However, this doesn't affect the brushes ability to apply and blend cheek color, contour powder or low viscosity foundations (i.e. super fluidy foundations – Revlon CS, Revlon Photoready, BB Skin, MUFE HD). This brush is probably one of the greatest makeup purchases I have ever made on the internet.

The brush head.

The Packaging

Bought this lens not long ago, been impressed with the quality of the lens. Well built for a fraction of the price of the Canon one.

Slide Foto Album for MySpace

I made new Pix in the last days – please tell me your thoughts:

Vogel in Pose by aristides2

Sony Camcorder Online Shop Tell me if you like them – i love to discuss the photos with you!

The Slide Foto Album app for MySpace is a great way to display your photos. In this tutorial I will show you how to install Slide Foto Album, how to use it, and how to remove it. You can display all of your photos with this app. Go ahead and login to your account and we will get started.

After you log in, you should be on the account page. On the account page you will see the Apps box. Click the Get Apps link in that box. You will see a search box on the next page. The search box is at the top of the page on the right. Type Slide Foto Album in the search box. Then click the Search button.

When the results return, you will need to click the title of the app. Then you will be carried to the page where you will begin the installation. Click the Add This App button on that page. When you click that button, a box will pop up and ask that you click the Add button. Click the Add button to finish the installation.

After you install the app, it will be displayed on your profile. The app automatically sets everything up and pulls your photos from your albums to display on your profile. Go to your profile to view the new Slide Photo Album.

MySpace has done some updating, so if your photos are not showing up, you will need to change your settings. Follow these instructions if your photos are not showing up.

Go to your account page. Click the Manage Apps link in the apps box. You will then be carried to the apps page. On this page you will see the different apps that you have installed. Beside the Slide Foto Album you will see a Settings link. Click that link and a box will pop up. When the box pops up, you will need to tick the last two fields. These are the photos and videos fields. Then click the Update button. Now your photos should be showing.

Go to your profile page to see if the slide album is displaying your photos. If you have your photos set to where only you can see them, they will not show up on the slide album. You must set them to private or public for the album to be able to display them.

To remove the app from your profile, go to your profile page. On your profile page you will see the new module that was created for the Slide Foto Album. At the top of that module you will see an X. Click that X and click the Remove App button in the box that pops up. That will remove that app.
