Olympus SP-560 UZ Review
Steve's Conclusion
For 2007, Olympus has upgraded the popular SP-550 UZ from last year. The SP-560 UZ includes all of the features that made the SP-550 so appealing, however, this new camera adds a slightly more versatile ISO range (up to 6400 over 5000 on the previous model), an 8-megapixel image sensor, Face Detect AF mode, and a Perfect Fix mode for touching up your images in playback mode.
As with past "SP" series models, the SP-560 offers a slew of manual and automatic controls that will suffice just about every user, regardless of their photographic experience. As usual, the beginners will benefit from the full Auto exposure mode, while the 25 pre-programmed Scene modes will help them capture great photos in a wide variety of different shooting environments. For those who like more control over the exposure process, the SP-560 offers as little or as much control as you would like. Program mode is a fully automatic mode, but does give access to ISO, White Balance, Metering, etc. Aperture and Shutter Speed Priority mode allow Novice users to choose one setting, while the camera selects the correct corresponding value. And, for the full experience, Manual mode grants access to controlling both the aperture and shutter speed values, while constantly displaying the exposure value so you can dial it in.
The SP-560 offers a very "well-built" feel in your hands, with a nice rubberized surface on the grip for your right hand. The various camera controls are positioned well, within easy reach of your thumb or forefinger.The menu system was logically organized and easy to navigate, and unlike past models, you Can display the menu screens on both the EVF and LCD. However, the default setting is LCD only, so you'll have to enter the Setup menu and choose the "Current" option under the Menu Display setting. We found the function menu very useful, allowing you to quickly change settings for White balance, ISO, drive mode and metering. It is called-up by depressing the OK/FUNC button and is displayed on either display.
I was pleased with both of the displays on this model. The LCD is bright, and thanks to its large size, the menu text is very legible. The only issue I have with the LCD, is that it does not feature a non-reflective coating, so there are several angles which reflect the sun. This is where the EVF really shines, and I found the eyecup is deep enough to block out most of the ambient light. Thankfully, both displays gain-up nicely when shooting in marginal lighting.
The SP-550 and SP-560, use to offer the most powerful optical zoom range among all consumer super-zooms, however, since then, it has been joined by models like Panasonic's Lumix FZ-18. The SP-560's "Ultra Zoom" moniker is no misrepresentation; the lens covers an astonishing 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 27-486mm! Olympus included several other features that complement the lens, including sensor-shift Image Stabilization that reduces the likelihood of camera-shake image blur at long focal lengths, as well as High ISO sensitivity to enable the use of higher shutter speeds in marginal lighting conditions, and two high-speed shooting modes to help you capture the moment. As a package, these features are a sports shooters dream, but there are several limitations that reduce the SP-560's effectiveness at capturing action.
Our shooting performance results were a bit disappointing for a model that has so many features that will appeal to sports shooters. Power up to first image captured was relatively slow at 2.9 seconds, most of which was attributed to the extension of the 18x zoom lens. Shutter lag when pre-focused was responsive at less than 1/10 of a second, slowing to 5-6/10 of a second including autofocus. When using single exposure (drive) mode, the shot to shot delay without flash was 2 seconds between frames, slowing to 4 and 5 seconds with the flash, depending on subject distance and battery condition. Shutter lag when using red eye reduction pre-flash measured 1.1 seconds, during which the LCD or EVF goes blank.
The SP-560's Burst mode has improved over the SP-550, and offers 3 continuous drive modes: Normal, Hi1 and Hi2. Using normal continuous drive mode to capture SHQ images, the SP-560 captured 10 images in 7.6 seconds without filling its buffer. Both the LCD and EVF blanked between shots; making the viewfinders essentially useless for following a moving subject while shooting. Normal continuous drive mode offers the most flexibility in the selection of image size and quality; only the capture of RAW images is prohibited in this mode.
The high speed sequential shooting modes offer astonishing capture rates, but have limitations on image size, quality and ISO. Both modes require a minimum sensitivity setting of ISO 400. In Hi1 mode, we were able to capture 12 SQ1 (high) images in just 1.2 seconds without filling the buffer, however clearing the buffer to view the images in playback mode takes about 7 seconds. Both viewfinders blank between images but, because of the high capture rate, following a moving subject was not a problem. Unlike the SP-550, you can select the quality of the SQ1 (2048x1536) images; High or Normal (default) quality settings.
Hi2 mode was even faster, capturing 40 SQ2 (1280x960) shots in just 2.5 seconds, taking 17 seconds to clear the buffer! As with Hi1 mode, the viewfinders blanked between images, but the high capture rate allowed me to follow a moving subject. Hi2 mode offers an interesting feature that really helps you capture the decisive moment in an action scene, Pre-Capture. In this mode, the SP-560 begins capturing images when you have half-depressed the shutter button, saving them in a 10-shot buffer. When you fully depress the shutter button, the SP-560 stores the 10 images in its buffer, and seamlessly begins capturing subsequent images until you release the shutter button.
When using the RAW image quality mode, the camera really slows down considerably. The shot to shot delay averaged about 12.5 seconds between frames. In between shots, the LCD displays a "Busy" prompt with a scale that shows the progress of the image being written to the xD memory card. Our performance tests were done using an Olympus M 512MB xD-Picture Card, Program mode, SHQ quality, ISO Auto, preview off, flash off, and all other settings at default unless specified otherwise. Times may vary depending on camera settings, lighting conditions, media, etc.
Our image quality results were good for an 8-megapixel super-zoom model. Using the SHQ mode, the SP-560 captures beautiful images indoors and out, that are nice and sharp with minimal edge softness. Colors are richly saturated, and the exposure system does well in most cases. I did find that when shooting our M&M man in ambient lighting, it had some troubles and produced images that were a bit warm. Noise is well controlled from ISO 400 and below, however as with all consumer models that feature such high sensitivity capabilities, noise becomes more detectable as you increase the ISO number. At ISO 800, there is slight loss of detail, and at ISO 1600 and up increases noise and decreases detail.
When shooting portraits indoors, the SP-560 really shines. It's pop-up flash has a generous range, for consumer digicam standards, of 21 feet at wide angle (ISO 400.) While I did not use that high of an ISO setting, I found that the flash worked very well indoors shooting in mid-sized rooms. I used the Portrait scene mode, with Face Detect AF mode enabled, and found that my indoor couple portraits were very pleasing; skin tones look very natural, face details are sharp, and the flash exposure is good even illuminating the background nicely. The Face Detect AF mode was fast too, finding and locking on our subjects within a second.
Like the SP-550, the telephoto capabilities of the 18x "Wide view" lens add tremendously to the overall versatility of the camera, covering a 35mm equivalent range of 27 - 486mm. At 27mm, you'll be able to capture large group shots and beautiful landscapes, while the 486mm end will take high quality images of very distant subjects without resorting to the digital zoom. Chromatic aberrations were well controlled, with only small traces of purple fringing evident in high contrast areas. We found a moderate amount of barrel distortion at wide angle, and slight pincushioning at the telephoto extreme. Overall a very nice lens that complements the SP-560 nicely. You can see for yourself by taking a look at some examples on our samples page.
The SP-560 also allows you to capture uncompressed RAW .ORF image files. These need to be later converted into JPEG format either in-camera or in an image editor that supports Olympus' RAW format. Like more advanced cameras, you can also choose to shoot RAW + JPEG. Overall, I don't think this function will be used by the average user who will purchase this model. However, it does add some appeal, and I'm sure some of the more advanced users will appreciate its inclusion in the feature set of this model.
The SP-560 allows you to record movies at 640x480 (30fps), 320x240 (15fps), or 160x120 (15fps). Sound can be recorded, however you have to make sure you enable this option in the Rec. Menu. When recording movies with sound, the optical zoom may not be used during recording, but can be preset beforehand. Again, like the SP-550, Image Stabilization is disabled when sound is enabled during movie recording, but can be activated when sound is turned off. This is very disappointing as not many users will record movies without audio. Taking away the IS makes no sense and I'm sure many consumers will be upset that they will not be able to capture nice steady long telephoto movies without some sort of camera support. Overall, our movie samples were good with typical amounts of compression noise. Just remember, the SHQ (640x480, 30fps) mode consumes about 1.7MB per second, so be sure you have a large capacity xD card.
The SP-560 continues the use of four standard AA-type cells, this means you can use a variety of different batteries. We highly recommend the use of NiMH cells or one-use lithiums if you are in a bind. We found that the SP-560 is very good at conserving power, and allowed us to capture over 150 shots and several movies as well as conclude our other test on a single set of batteries.
Bottom line - the Olympus SP-560 UZ is a very well balanced super-zoom model. Overall, the camera offers some very appealing features, great image quality both indoors and out, and plenty of resolution to create up to poster size prints. The only negatives I found with the camera were its shooting performance results in single exposure mode are a bit behind the rest of the market, and while it offers blazing fast performance in High Speed mode, you are forced to use such a small image size setting. With a street price of US$449 or less, I feel it offers an Ok value for such a capable consumer model with 8-megapixels and an awesome 18x Wide optical zoom lens.

Favour for a mate gets turned about with plane mishap
ALLAN Fry was just doing a favour for a mate on Wednesday when a strong wind gust blew the light plane he was landing at Ballina airport and it ended up on its roof.
The four-seater Jabiru, that weighs about 370kg, was blown from the runway onto adjacent grass by the wind, before it hit a landing light and flipped onto its roof at about 9.30am.
Northern Rivers Aero Club chief flying instructor Bill Kiernan said no one could be blamed for the "freak incident".
"When Allan told me what had happened I thought it could have happened to anybody," he said.
"He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Mr Kiernan, who was flying in the area at the time of the incident, said the gusty conditions would have challenged the most experienced pilots.
"I was up in the air near there when it happened and I know how strong the winds were.
"If he didn't hit the landing light it would have just ran off onto the grass."
"When he hit the light, that's what tipped it over."
Mr Fry, the Northern Rivers Aero Club vice president, had taken off from Lismore in the plane, on loan to the club from club president Wally Soward.
"He was flying the plane over to Ballina as a favour to Wally for its regular maintenance with Black Swan," he said.
"Allan is a qualified maintenance engineer who could have done the work under supervision, but he took the plane to Ballina to help Wally out."
Mr Fry, who owns his own plane, had hundreds of flying hours under his belt from his more than 20 years as a pilot.
He was treated at the scene for minor injuries by paramedics.
The incident caused a REX plane to be delayed by five minutes, and a Jetstar flight from Sydney to be delayed by an hour.
Mr Kiernan said it was fortunate Mr Fry was not seriously injured and he was confident the plane could be repaired.
"The most important things are his belts all held, the safety devices worked and Allan is okay.
"It was an incident that has happened before with ultra-light planes and will happen again."

|Hi guys...
This topic ( "Paid Tours" ) was discussed recently in the another thread as well:
The challenge here is that there's really no way (yet) to fully protect a "public" Matterport Model. Once someone/anyone were to pay to see a model, they'd be able to see the actual/public Matterport URL and then could easily share it with anyone else, outside of whatever mechanism was built to offer the "Pay Per View" functionality.
The idea is a great one...but (my opinion) we need some additional functionality from Matterport to be enabled before there's much of an opportunity here.
I hope that changes soon!

|jnTooker...yes.....I'd love to know what it is. I have 2 clients that charge admission into their historical venue. They like the idea of 3D scans, but if it is offered free online and people look at it, they will never come to this museum.
They would be interested, by our hint, that by having a PRIVATE channel, like VIMEO PRO, they could have access to this link and then charge an extra fee for those who might want to view the museum through 3D Goggles and into places not open to the public.
So the only person right now stopping this is MP.
So I wold be very interested in any service that can take MP scans, HOST them and give us a Privacy controlled link.

|That MLK Church Showcase model comes to mind. It's fascinating to explore that wearing a VR headset. One enemy of content creators everywhere is the "Information wants to be free" argument. Many people will spend quite a few BTUs searching for a free version of just about any digital product whether it's software, music or even VR experiences. The Matterport Showcase, in fact, is free.
On the other hand, if someone can promise me a compelling experience that I can't find for free, I might spend some money. Imagine, for example, exploring a famous Hollywood movie set or a museum. Second Life protects its content by forcing users to install small browser viewers. Onlive once had servers that streamed real-time graphically intense gaming action to browsers around the world. I suppose it's possible to stream Matterport models to protected browser environments.
In lieu of a pay-for-view protected site, maybe a free ad supported Matterport model site could work. Google doesn't charge people to view it's premium video content, YouTube. Yet, Google gets rich from ads.

The bottom line is that browsers need to see the unencrypted, plain text source code to create a webpage. For that reason, it's impossible to hide your HTML source code. If the browser can read it, which it needs to be able to do to render a webpage, then so can a user. That's the bottom line."

|Woofbert seems poised to attempt to capture the "View a museum in VR" market. They've released Gear VR and Occulus apps that let people explore a museum. They say it's free for now, but they may charge later.
Maybe in the future when more people have VR headsets, these types of apps will make serious money. Matterport could probably charge money to view some Gear VR Showcase models if they wanted.
It would be interesting to see what technology Woofbert has created that may or may not resemble Matterport's. Here's their blurb. I wonder what they mean by "post-production" . Maybe their VR museum experience adds features that makes it more like a real tour. I guess I could install the app and see if there's anything amazing.
-- Woofbert on their technology
"We use a variety of photographic, film, and scanning technologies–some proprietary, some open source. Our data capture is a combination of an on-site visit with minimal equipment–no cords, cables, or special lighting–and existing materials provided by our partnering institutions. WbVR's strategic partner is Reload Studios, who works with us on [b]post-production and development of VR functionality."[/b]

|The way this works, is to offer the VR Tour where people cannot go because the ROPES have isolated a room, a path and so on.
You also include TAGS that present a video of that spot, be it History, Construction, Time-lapse.
If you bury the LINKS deep into the underworld of the internet, most people who visit PAID ENTRANCE FEES, will NOT bother as they are not good under the hood. Most people never go there.
So once inside, the 3D Goggles are available at a KIOSK to extend the money stream.
It will work for a while. There are many other THINGS that can happen besides Museums, but being able to isolate the link is critical.

|Fun ideas there. I once saw something similar in the free ActiveWorlds VR worlds app. You reach a point where something compelling is just beyond a gate. To go through it, you have to upgrade to a premium membership.
The following possible clients came to mind while watching the news. A company creates 360 photos showing neighborhoods and homes. Those homes are important to people in nursing homes. For instance, one photo may be of the home they grew up in while another of a child's home. The company then gets some cheap cell phones and some Google Cardboard headsets that they brand. They then make them available to nursing homes where residents can visit those homes virtually.
The news segment showed how emotional some of those experiences were. One woman even broke down and cried while viewing a home that's important to her. Another man visited a restaurant where he used to work. I haven't researched the company to see how they make money but I see multiple possibilities. They probably also make money from cell phone and Google Cardboard sales.
In a best case scenario, imagine nursing homes, hospitals and similar places paying Matterport photographers to create scan properties that are important to residents who may never get to visit them again in real life.
Finally, I still don't see why any home seller would not want to take their home with them, especially if they'd lived in it for years and loved the home. Matterport pros can make that possible.
This would require new types of marketing material since the goal wouldn't be to help sell a home but to instead enable someone leaving a home to "take the home with them" in the form of a Matterport model. If it helps sell the home, that's OK too, but you could target people who've already sold their homes but still have access to it. Other markets, such as parents with homesick kids in college.
Maybe you get to the point where Google photographers become competitors in a way, especially since those photographers can create tours that explore a property's exterior and even a neighborhood. Matterport has 360 PHOTO tours but you can't explore those. Apparently the current camera can't always capture nature as well as traditional cameras can.
If I was a Google Street View photographer, I might capture a homes interior, exterior and parts of the neighborhood so my nursing home clients could fully explore emotionally powerful memories that only exist in their memories.

|@jntooker I was making a joke earlier concerning the usual nature of a 'Pay Per View' experience.
But in regards to your reply "I think I have a way around that..." -- I think that the chances that someone is going to repost your tour elsewhere is rather slim. I think that just like photography, you could easily write a copyright notice on the tour and in the information state that the tour is for use only on xyz.com. If anyone violated that, you could send a cease and desist.
B/C honestly - it would only take using the Developer Tools in the browser to figure out how to get the URL for the Matterport Tour.
I'm 100% for making PPV tours REGARDLESS of the security of the tours. And hoping that in the future, they'll have domain locking added.

What did MP do ? Did they change CODE that makes several 3rd party software units inoperable ?
JNTOOKER....does this stop your Supernerds from creating what you were intending ?
MP is like a glacier.....best 3D program, but slow on the options we need.
Someone is going to create an AS GOOD 3D SOFTWARE as MP and then the 3rd party people are going to write for it...taking all the service providers along with them.
Just having 3D MP, real estate agents are slow to try or use. So you have to add LOTS OF EXTRAS. With MP changing CODE, those EXTRAS may be gone.....and the momentum is lost. More 3rd Party EXTRAS, means more agents doing scans, which means MP makes more money.
I don't get it.
So, JNTOOKER, what does this do to your creations ?

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been out of pocket the past couple days.
The API changing doesn't directly affect my plan; however, it seems that the MP philosophy on third-party collaboration has changed and that may prove troublesome.
In a nutshell, everything is TBD but I suspect MP will find a way to compromise with MP Pros/Vendors if and when we can show them a quantifiable benefit.
RE: "Someone is going to create an AS GOOD 3D SOFTWARE as MP and then the 3rd party people are going to write for it...taking all the service providers along with them."
Sure, that is always the risk isn't it? There is a long list of famous companies that lost their edge due to the inability (or unwillingness) to embrace innovation and collaboration. Ever heard of Blackberry? Blockbuster? XEROX?? MySpace?
These companies all have something specific in common...at one time they were on top. But they had no viable competitors forcing them to innovate. So then, here comes Netflix, et al., seemingly out of nowhere, and well, we all know the rest of the story. Being the only provider does not inherently make you the best and it's only a matter of time before there is another option.
MP must have their reasons for disabling 3rd party collaboration but I have to agree, based on the many threads full of disgruntled MP Pros in this forum, that this could become a real problem for them.

Aarian Marshall
Aarian Marshall is a transportation reporter at WIRED and former CityLab contributor. She lives in San Francisco.
Where would you run if zombies attack? The best place in the U.S. to escape from hypothetical brain feeders, according to a new simulation from real-life Cornell University researchers that they will present later this week, is the Northern Rockies. Not on the list: your favorite densely populated metro area.
The Cornell simulation, which you can play with here, draws data from the 2010 U.S. Census and depends on the SIR model, an epidemiological model sometimes used to predict the spread of real-life infectious diseases like measles and rubella. In the SIR model, individuals are either susceptible (S), infected (I) or recovered or immune (R) from a disease. But with zombies, of course, there's a bit of a twist: Once a zombie, always a zombie. There are no R's here. As Alex Alemi, one of the Cornell researchers, told NewScientist, "Zombies don't get better, nor do they die, so the only way you can get rid of a zombie is for a human to actively kill it."
Not a huge surprise, but it turns out the speed of a zombie outbreak is highly dependent on the bite to kill ratio. That's the measure of how effectively zombies are snacking on humans, versus how effectively humans are killing zombies. When I set the bite to kill ratio to zero in the Cornell simulation—creating UNSTOPPABLE ZOMBIES—and dropped one in densely populated New York City, it was game over for the entire East Coast in about 3 days:
Of course, we humans wouldn't go down without a fight. By studying zombie lore, the Cornell researchers determined that a 0.8 bite to kill ratio is a bit more realistic. Under these conditions, zombies are roughly 25 percent more likely to bite humans than humans are to kill zombies. Given this more realistic scenario, I dropped another single zombie in New York City to see what would happen.
Once again, the Big Apple got real ugly, real quick. Within about 11 hours, zombies had chomped their way through much of the Tri-State area:
Within about 10 days, I and my Beltway brethren in D.C. were also undead. By day 23, they had noshed on my grandma in Detroit. Here's the zombies' progress about a month in:
As the researchers note, cities would give way to the hoard the quickest. (As they can and have in the face of other infectious diseases.) But it took the zombies weeks to, for example, penetrate the less populated areas of upstate New York. "Given the dynamics of the disease, once the zombies invade more sparsely populated areas, the whole outbreak slows down—there are fewer humans to bite, so you start creating zombies at a slower rate," as Alemi put it in a press release.
The good news? No matter where you drop your Patient Zero, the Cornell researchers found that it took months for any zombies to reach the northern Rocky Mountains.
It's an important lesson to take into account next time you have a nightmare. If and when the zombie does apocalypse come, how much time you have left will depend on where you are in relationship to the first outbreak. But it would also be prudent to abandon your favorite bike lane, mass transit conveyance, or neighborhood dive bar. Oh, ye urban faithful: When the zombies come, get out of the city.

In the spirit of recognizing this as our online journal as well as wanting to be perfectly honest, the last few weeks have been extremely challenging for us both personally and professionally for numerous, completely unrelated reasons whose only commonality is that they fall under the title of "Shitty Timing." To alleviate ourselves from some of the chaos we've been busy throwing ourselves into organizing and compartmentalizing the things in our life we do have control over. Namely, my closet:
and the Cafe:
Here's to getting a head start on spring cleaning and to better things around the bend. Stay tuned for this weekend's menu...

It's important for cat owners to be aware of common health problems and how to treat them, this includes worms and fleas. Our in-house specialists can offer you advice on how to best way treat your cat as well as providing specialist products at discounted prices. Our wormers and flea treatments for cats are top of the range and available to you at an affordable price.
There are around eight different types of intestinal worms which can affect your cat, including the renowned roundworm and tapeworm. Luckily both these conditions are easily treatable when managed and maintained throughout your pets' lifetime. At Vet Medic, we provide a range of wormers that aggressively target specific types of worms, or alternatively, we offer various dual wormers that effectively target multiple types of worms that your cat may be carrying. The average cat needs worming around four times a year, although if your cat likes hunting mice, you may need to do it a little bit more regularly to ensure effective treatment.
Unlike puppies, kittens aren't usually born with worms meaning instant treatment isn't normally necessary. For kittens, worming treatment usually starts at around 6 weeks of age and is carried out every 2-4 weeks until your kitten is 3 months of age. After your kitten reaches 12 weeks old, it can then be treated as usual 4 times a year or a little bit more regularly depending on lifestyle. We stock a varied range of worming treatment from the leading brands and only provide products of the highest quality that are proven to work.
Depending on the product you pick, most cats need to receive flea treatment every 4-6 weeks. Cats that spend a lot of time outside are more likely to pick up fleas, and it's important to treat your house as well as your pet to ensure the flea eggs aren't embedded in your furniture. It is recommended to use tweezers and flea combs on kittens under the age of 6 weeks old, after that certain types of treatments can be used. After the age of 8 weeks old, the majority of treatments will be suitable for your cat and you can have a preference for which product you wish to use. If you want advice on the most effective ways to treat your pets, get in touch with the specialist vet medic team.

Seniors Group Endorses Cheri Bustos for Congress at Social Security Anniversary Celebration
For Immediate Release
Thursday, August 14th, 2014
Contact: David Blank, 202/637-5275 or email@example.com
Today, Alliance for Retired Americans members proudly endorsed Cheri Bustos for re-election to the U.S. Congress from Illinois's 17th District at a celebration of Social Security's 79th anniversary in Rock Island.
"Cheri Bustos is really a champion for seniors. She can be trusted to lead with our interests. Her views on keeping health care affordable and retirement secure are among the reasons that we stand behind Cheri Bustos and her candidacy for U.S. Congress," said Richard Fiesta, Executive Director of the Alliance for Retired Americans.
Bustos's strong positions on fighting Social Security and Medicare privatization and strengthening Social Security and Medicare confirm her commitment to improving the quality of life for older Americans. She understands that selling off our Medicare to the big insurance companies or turning our Social Security over to Wall Street would benefit few and harm many, including Illinois seniors.
To commemorate Social Security's birthday, activists also released a new report showing how important Social Security is to seniors in Illinois. To view the report, go to:
The Alliance for Retired Americans represents over 4.3 million retirees and community activists, including more than 257,000 members in Illinois.
Paid for by the Alliance for Retired Americans Political Action Fund and not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

Notepad Tricks January 10, 2007Posted by Vijay in Education.
I write this blog by keeping in mind about the notpad tricks i have known. These Tricks were tested only on XP and dont know whether it works on Vista..
1. This Trick helps you to make a virus with your notepad:
Copy this code in ur notepad and save it and scan with your antivirus..
"X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}" (Without Quotes)
2. This Trick might be known to most of the people as Bush Trick:
Open a note pad and type Bush hid the facts. Save that file, close it and again open…
3. This trick has been added only after the world trade centre crash:
Did you know that the flight number of the plane that had hit WTC on 9/11 was Q33N. Open your Notepad in ur computer and type the flight number i.e Q33N Increase the Font Size to 72, Change the Font to Wingdings. U will be amazed by the findings.
4. This Trick makes your notepad with date and time entry:
Sometimes we want to insert current data and time, whenever we open the file in the notepad. If you are a lazy person like me, who don't like to press F5 whenever you open a notepad. Then here is a trick to avoid this. Just add a .LOG in the first line of your text file and close it.Whenever you open the file with that text in the first line in the notepad, it will insert the current date and time at the end of the file. You can start entering your text after that.
5. This Trick helps in Changing Header and Footer of the notepad:
Ever printed the little text you wrote in Notepad? More often than not, the printout starts with "Untitled" or the filename at top, and "Page 1? on bottom. Want to get rid of it, or change it? Click on File, Page Setup. Get rid of the characters in Header and Footer boxes, and write what you want as Header and Footer. Use the following codes.
&l Left-align the characters that follow
&c Center the characters that follow
&r Right-align the characters that follow
&d Print the current date
&t Print the current time
&f Print the name of the document
&p Print the page number
Print tree root
a. Open NOTEPAD and enter {print tree root}
b. After that hit enter and type C:\windows\system
c. After that hit enter and type {print C:\windows\system\winlog
d. Hit enter and type 4*43?$@[455]3hr4~
e. Then save the file as teekids in C:\windows\system.

I've always got some sort of list going… To do, to buy, to eat, to read, to watch… I thought I would start sharing some of wish list items with you guys, just in case you win the Lotto and need to blow some cash on your good friend Happy Schnapper!
I know it's only February however I love Winter fashion and am already eyeing off my key pieces for next season.
- A floppy felt hat – preferrably in my Autumn 'IT' colour oxblood.
- A khaki parka – wool and fur lined because I am miserable when I'm cold. An over-sized parka will be a great addition to my wardrobe as a casual winter coat that can be thrown over anything.
- Leather skater skirt – This cut always make your legs look longer and in leather will speak to the edgy, street style trend of the coming season.
- Embellished boots – will be HUGE this season and a flat style will be perfect for winter weekend adventures.

As I will be travelling with some of my best friends next month some luxe travel items are on my radar. Being a follower of many a world famous blogger, they all seem to be jet setting at the moment for NYFW and all do it in style. I usually travel in trackpants and hoodie for comfort however just one time I'd like to look like this when I fly…
I don't know how celebrities look so great after a long haul flight. Do they have a secret change room that they change in before contronting the paps? I dunno but I have complete admiration for this skill.

My surroundings drastically affect my mood. When my house it s mess it makes me stressed out which is not what I need when already stressed by uni! This month candles are thing. They are decorative and fragrant and calming when lit, offering your room a touch of romance and peace.
One of my favourite candles (for fragrance rather than appearance) is actually from Woolies! Forget all those fancy vegan-soy-organic candles, the Glade range focus on delicious scents that really revive your mood and brighten a room. The US range have really amazing scents such as creamy custard with blushing apple, apple cinnamon, moonlit walk and wandering stream! The last one makes me giggle.
|My personal favourite from the range that is available in Australia

Since our family reunion is coming up, I have been going through their music this past week. I thought you would enjoy a glimpse into what I got to listen to when I was growing up.
Keep in mind, the quality is not the best. You may have to turn your volume up. I had to convert 30 to 40 year old cassettes to digital without any professional help. I just had a very simple converter added to my computer, no fixes, enhancements, or capabilities of removing that 'fuzzy' sound.
If you are a true music fan, I know you will be able to hear the sweets sounds of 4-5 part harmonies and just the pure sound my family has left behind.
Please feel free to leave your comments. I look forward to hearing from you.
Have a wonderful week and I hope this song brings you joy.
SONG: Don't Let Me Walk Too Far From Calvary
SUNG BY: My Aunts and Uncles
WHEN: Late 1970's or early 1980's.

Just when I thought the climate change penny was finally dropping for the marketing industry, the marketing gurus have excelled themselves once more.
After Tesco's bizarre and now infamous 'Flights for lights' advert, which encouraged us to buy low-energy lightbulbs with the lure of free air miles, it's now the turn of the mobile phone recycling industry to be hitched to the free flights bandwagon.
Yup. Recycle your old mobile phone and get up to 750 air miles in exchange. Of course, handing in your handset for recycling or reuse is clearly a good thing. But can we expect every piece of good environmental behaviour to be rewarded with the promise of more air miles? It's like rewarding an alcoholic for staying off the sauce by giving them a bucket of gin.
Apart from the 'beyond ironic' section of the Air Miles website's 'With the world in mind' green pages, there seems to be a rash of increasingly odd ways to obtain that precious right to fly for free. There's the honeymooning couple who took somewhat extreme advantage of another ill-advised Tesco trial of giving air miles for recycling cans and bottles by collecting 60,000 items (often by apprehending other people's leftover recycling) to cover their business class flight home. Or how about 'LiamRugby' who bought £170 worth of shampoo to get enough air miles for a Club upgrade. "Clearly my friends all think I'm crazy," commented Liam. At least in perennially sensible Canada you can actually exchange air miles for environmental rewards, from a donation to WWF through to a folding solar panel or electric scooter.
Maybe we should resist the tawdry temptation of some Transatlantic travelling courtesy of air miles? Here are some alternative suggestions as to what we might do with our old mobile handsets:
1. Get creative: Donate your phone to Rob Pettit, who creates his art work with recycled phones, or Joe McKay who makes high-tech sculptural pieces with old and damaged mobiles
2. Hold on to it. Keep it and share your retention joy with others at Kept
3. Donate your phone to charity via Greensource or the Woodland Trust who'll turn your phone into forest
4. Give it to someone who'll make use of it - see Lifeline for Africa
If none of these appeal you could always enter this weekend's World Phone Throwing championships in Finland. But you'd probably have to fly to get there in time. Now where can I get some air miles again?
