Having problems with your Canon PowerShot A530 Digital Camera ?
I purchased a Kingston 2G SD card for my Canon A530. It says "memory card error". In fact, the function to format the card does not even light up but is dimmed and skips to the next function. My 128mb works just fine. Any suggestions? thank you!
Answers :
The card is obviously too large, in memory capacity terms, for the camera. In fact, it might not be an SD card, but an SDHC card. "SD" cards larger than about 2GB are actually SDHC cards. I'm not sure about the 2GB ones, maybe there are some of each type. SD and SDHC cards fit the same slots, but they are slightly different electrically. Many cameras won't work with SDHC (high capacity) cards. SDHC is not backwards compatible.
A 1GB card is plenty of space. If you really need more room, carry a spare card, like people used to do with films.

The camera sounds exactly normal when it starts up but there is simply no image on either version of the viewfinder. Have replaced batteries and taken memory card out and in again.any help available please. Thanks
The iris may have stuck closed due to moisture or the CCD may be bad. Let it dry out for about a day if the iris is stuck. If you still can't get an image, then more likely the CCD is bad - take it in for repair. ... Fuji FinePix S5500 Digital Camera

A Nigerian woman has been arrested after she allegedly tried to sell her new-born baby.
Imaobong Udoh is accused of handing over her three-day-old daughter to a wealthy couple in the Akwa Ibom State in exchange for N260000 (£950) on 3 March.
According to news website Punch, Udoh was arrested along with Regina James and her husband Mfon James, after it emerged that they had bought the child.
Comfort Henry, who delivered the infant, and homeopathic doctor Emmanuel Okon, who arranged the sale, were also taken into police custody.
The Jameses allegedly paid N150,000 to Udoh and another N110,000 to Okon, who acted as the go-between for the illegal transaction.
"Mr Emmanuel Etim Okon, was the one that arranged the infamous deal and personally conveyed the baby from the point of delivery at Nna-Enin in Uruan Local Government Area to the buyers at No. 37 Church Road, Uyo," police commissioner Umar Gwadebe said in a statement.
Mfon James has since denied being involved in the illicit purchase, claiming that he believed that his wife was pregnant.
"My wife, Regina, told me she was pregnant and I gave her money for ante-natal. One day, she told me she was in labour and later informed me that she had been delivered of a baby girl," he said.
"I did not know she bought the baby since she has given birth to four children, though three died."
The co-accused now face child theft charges and a prison sentence.

As reported by HelloBeautiful.com…
It's been a long time coming for R&B songstress Brandy Norwood, who reached stardom in the 90s with the release of her self titled debut album–Brandy. Her "girl next door" persona was a welcoming mat for fans and critics; she has sold over 30 million records worldwide and won over 100 awards in her career.
Despite her rocket start, Brandy fell flat with her fourth album Aphrodisiac and faced personal issues that came to the forefront and tarnished her image. It has been a struggle for the "Put It Down" singer, but with a fresh outlook on music, Brandy is ready to give it another go, with Two Eleven.
She revealed the cover art to the highly anticipated collection of music and looks more radiant than we've ever seen!

How to get rid of Sweaty Underarm problem?
There are two types of glands found to the cause of sweaty underarms of human body. One is called Apocrine and the other is known as Eccrine glands. Excessive sweaty underarm symptom can be noticed when these glands over react due to some disorder. Normally, underarm sweating is a very common phenomenon that we all experience everyday whether in house or in the street. But it becomes a hassle for many who suffer from excessive sweating and sweats dripping from the armpits and causing irritation to him as well as to others around him.
Eccrine glands are responsible to ooze out clear watery sweat that is not of malodorous smell but the stuff coming out from this Apocrine gland is thicker and causes bad odor. However, when your case is an abnormal sweaty underarm which is termed as Hyperhydrosis in medical books, you cannot expect to get over this problem by using over the counter deodorant. This sweating element is resistant to deodorant. You can definitely apply other antiperspirant product medically tested and recommended by the doctors and medical authority. But, taking your physician's advice is always safe.
If you find that your case is not so severe, then just follow these steps regularly and you will get recovered. First, take your time while having your bath, gently pat the underarms area with sweat towel and soak it in the air and cool your body by lying on a cool towel with arms and legs stretched out. Put on light garments and use deodorant before going out of your house. Get hygienic and have a fresh feel all the day.

RED Gemini Real World Test "iPhone Only" ;)
1 year ago
This week's ESPN The Magazine (June 13, 2011) is "The Photo Issue," in which hand-picked photographers were dispatched to sporting events around the world to capture what was happening in sports on one given day-- Saturday May 7, 2011. When I got the call for the assignment , I thought to myself, wait a minute, that's Derby day!The Kentucky Derby is one of my favorite sporting events — and nearest to my heart (and that's saying a lot for me). ESPN senior photo editor Jim Surber wanted me to approach the assignment in a documentary style, and look for behind the scene moments that make a more interesting story on such a grand event. It was wide open for me to be as creative as I wanted, and go for something different. I was thrilled to be chosen to cover this amazing sporting event in the town where I grew up. Although it was my 29th year of shooting the Derby , I've never lost the excitement of immersing myself in the experience and joy of the biggest spring race at Churchill Downs. While other photographers were documenting tennis in Madrid, bowling in Istanbul, soccer in Manchester and NBA playoffs in Memphis, I started my day at the track before dawn. I began my day capturing pre-dawn workouts and a magnificent deep blue sky behind the iconic twin spires — then there was the beauty of the thoroughbreds, and endless women in hats. One of my favorite things to document is the jockey's experience — their behaviors both before, during and after the race — and all of the facets of one of the world's most unique occupations. I finished up around 8 pm when the roses from the winner's circle were strewn on the ground. A long day, but I loved every minute of it, and it yielded great images. Two are included in the issue, now on newsstands, including a shot of the jockeys coming down the escalator on their way to the paddock and one of my personal favorite moments, the bugler getting warmed up for his "Call to the Post" that still makes my heart pound every time I hear it.
Thanks to Jim and ESPN Magazine for giving me this opportunity and to the folks at Churchill Downs for the amazing access. There was no place in the world I'd rather have been on May 7th 2011 than Churchill Downs in 'my' old Kentucky home. Here are some of my favorite images that were not in the magazine.Look for the ESPN 'Photo Issue' on newsstands or go to the gallery of all the images included in the story from that day at http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/photos/gallery/_/id/6609922/a-day-life-sports#/4/
Riders up!

Well, if you're considering a career in the collision repair industry, whether as a body or paint tradesperson or another part of the industry, below are 5 good reasons to have confidence in that choice.
After doing the circuit of education fairs, guidance counselor meetings, web searches and campus visits, you've probably heard all the advice you can take. I can't tell you to listen to it all but it seems reasonable to consider what the people that have "been there" say. In BC, the provincial government surveys graduates of apprenticeship programs 6 months after completing their training to find out what they have to say about their in-school training, workplace experiences and employment. The surveys, called Apprenticeship Student Outcomes (APPSO) Surveys, are published at http://outcomes.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/APPSO/APPSOPublications.aspx and include surveys as far back as 2005. Encompassing our first 3 good reasons, here's what the 2010 survey participants said:
1. They enjoyed their education: most (95%) were very satisfied or satisfied with their in-school training and (93%) were very satisfied or satisfied with their workplace training.
2. Job prospects are good: most (86%) were employed at the time of the survey and found work in less than a month. Of those employed, 96% were working full-time and 95% in jobs related to their in-school training.
3. Wages are good: the median wage of respondents who were employed at the time of the survey (that's 6 months after completing their apprenticeships) was $29/hour.
Two more good reasons to consider a collision repair career are that you can get grant money to help with the education costs and you have many more education options and career paths than you may realize. Here are more details on good reasons 4 and 5:
4. The Canadian government offers up to $4000.00 per person in apprenticeship grants; that's a grant not a loan so it doesn't have to be repaid! See the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) website at http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/trades_apprenticeship/index.shtml
5. Apprenticing in body or paint work and practicing as a journeyman is just one option. Some technicians go on to apply their skills in different parts of the industry like teaching in high schools and colleges or working in the government departments that develop education standards and govern trades practice. The Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) or, in BC, the Industry Training Authority (ITA) are examples. You also don't have to start as a tradesperson; other types of post-secondary education can also lead to a collision industry career. Using the AutoHouse Technologies staff as an example illustrates that point. Our president started out as a journeyman and now runs his own collision repair-focused software company. The rest of us graduated from business and marketing, science and liberal arts programs and worked in other sectors before arriving in the collision repair industry.
So, whether you take the short path or the long one, you don't have to fear that you're making the wrong choice. All education and work experience will serve you in some way at some time so the best post-secondary choice you can make is the one you want. If you can take it, there's one more piece of advice.

The largest and top patagonian predator, it is second in size only to the Jaguar among American cats. It ranges from Alaska south to Tierra del Fuego, and its stealth, mostly nocturnal and crepuscular habits make it hard to be spotted in the wild.

Pulse is the UK's ultimate boutique trade event for inspiring new gifts, modern living and fashion accessories. The event prides itself on offering buyers unlimited inspiration through a diverse range of products from up coming designer to established retailing names. Trendstop's trend reporters headed down to the London based event to check out the latest trends for lifestyle and interior products.
The New Bohemians
Organic materials, travellers trinkets and decorative plant life remain a strong trend in interiors and lifestyle products this year, developing the theme of The New Bohemians. Fiona Walker England showcased a selection of tropically decorated cushions, complimented by geometrically etched vases for an earthy, explorer aesthetic. Following the Bohemia mood, many brands opted for an 'Urban Garden' approach to their ranges, as decorative planters and glassware terrariums transform simple plant life into on-trend interior statements. One of these brands was Chive, a company which creates innovative yet simplistic designs from a diverse range of media from ceramics to concrete. House of Disaster also works with this attention to botanics, applying illustrative cacti and succulent motifs to leather accessories for a more youthful direction.

Geo Functionality
A theme showcased in the Pulse trend area, Geo Functionality revisits staple items with a refined sense of simplicity. Described as a "Modular inspired aesthetic", belongings are becoming more adaptable with the idea that function is just as important as form. Custom Made applies contemporary geometric shapes to jewellery, enhancing minimal accessories with smooth curves and angular formations. Cooling colour blocks and statement sans-serif typography features heavily in Block's collection, emphasising simplistic shapes with carefully considered details. Applying this new found modernism to staple homeware objects, Notable Designs presented a range of smooth concrete clocks where the numbers were represented through elevated segments, showcasing the timeless appeal of geometry.

Ones to Watch
For some brands, this was their first experience of displaying at Pulse, including the likes of Fonfique, Feat Socks Co and Emma Alington.
Fonfique was founded by Ceylan Kolat, who aims to make everyday objects more vibrant and emotive. She hand-draws each design, every one representing a different set of feelings. This gives consumers a much more personalised experience with the brand thus creating a bigger purpose for functional accessories.

Feat Socks Co is a South African brand that designs playful socks with the objective to spark conversation and be a key feature of an outfit. They are currently sold in The Turpentine in Brixton, with hopes to increase their UK stockists this year. There are a number of different bold prints, meaning that there is a pair to suit everyone.

Emma Alington is an emerging ceramics brand, with her English heritage playing a key role in the brand. Emma told us, "All of my products are made in Stoke-on-Trent where the ceramics factories are still very much alive, and I've spent a lot of time there in recent weeks making sure that all of my products are perfect." Her family crest is a key feature within her elegantly simplistic designs, acting as the main focus alongside minimal gold accents.

China's Xiang Xiaohan: First gay man to sue the government
Nineteen-year-old Xiang Xiaohan, a gay rights activist from Hunan Province, has been dubbed China's Don Quixote over his dogged determination to take the government to court.
His campaign to challenge a decision by the civil affairs department of Hunan government not to register his gay rights organisation marks a rare open protest by China's gay and lesbian community and has thrown him into the media spotlight.
In a country where homosexuality was illegal until 1997 and defined as a mental disorder until 2001, it has pushed the tolerance of the ruling Communist Party and the government to the limit, and polarised public opinion.
But in a rare show of support, even the state-run Xinhua news agency, regarded as the mouthpiece of the government, carried a detailed report about his campaign after he filed his defamation lawsuit against the Hunan government.
In an interview with the BBC, Xiang Xiaohan said that the chance of the Hunan government backing down was slim, but he would not give up - not without a fight.
"The apology is not only for me, but for hundreds of thousands of gay men and women in China."
"Spiritual civilisation"
Xiang Xiaohan filed the lawsuit in the provincial capital, Changsha, after the Hunan government turned down his application to register his organisation.
In a written reply to him, the local government said homosexuality had no place in Chinese traditional culture and "the building of spiritual civilisation" - a catchphrase in modern China for what many believe is the party's indoctrination.
"I believe what the government said [in the reply] defames the reputation of the gay and lesbian community in China, and I want them to issue a written apology," said Mr Xiang.
He also wants the government to reverse its decision not to register his organisation. Registering his group as an NGO would enable it to legally receive donations and enjoy tax exemptions.
In China, some NGOs already devote considerable resources to protecting gay rights but they do not openly operate in the name of the gay community. But Mr Xiang's organisation, if successfully registered as an NGO, would be the first of its kind in China.
Currently, the group, housed in a small rented flat and all expenses paid for by volunteers, is treated as a commercial entity, making it expensive and difficult to carry out activities, he said.
The lawsuit was filed on 19 February. Under current law, the court must inform the plaintiff within seven days whether it plans to proceed with the case.
But Mr Xiang received a written reply from the court only on 14 March, despite repeated requests for a response.
The court threw out the case because it did not believe that the government defamed homosexuals, Mr Xiang said.
The court believed that the government only offered what it called administrative guidance on the issue of homosexuality, he said.
Mr Xiang said that he would appeal against the ruling.
"If we can't force the civil affairs department of the Hunan government to withdraw what it said on homosexuality, then other government bodies would likely follow its example, and this would cause irreparable psychological damage to gay and lesbian people.
"If gay and lesbian people have no place in China's traditional culture, how can you encourage them to pursue the China Dream," he said, referring to President Xi Jinping's publicly stated vision for the future of the country.
Analysts say Xiang Xiaohan's high profile protest has offered a rare glimpse into the extent to which attitudes towards homosexuality in China have changed.
His campaign may have seen him compared with the naive hero in Cervantes' novel Don Quixote, but his protest has also highlighted the rising awareness of China's gay community about their rights.
Yu Fang Qiang from Justice For All - a non-profit organisation dedicated to safeguarding the rights of disadvantaged members of the public - said it also marked a significant step forward by the government.
"It is the first time in China that a local government department has formally given a written reply to a request from the gay and lesbian community, whereas in the past the government would just simply ignore it," he told the BBC.
It is also rare that a court in China has dealt with Xiang Xiaohan's lawsuit against Hunan government in an open and transparent way, Mr Yu said.
Mr Xiang's story has polarised opinion among micro-bloggers.
On Sina Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter, one blogger who supported Xiang Xiaohan, said the government should redefine China's traditional culture.
"The practice of forcing Chinese women to bind their feet and forbidding those whose husbands died to remarry is also regarded as China's traditional culture," the blogger wrote.
But another disagreed, saying "gay and lesbian activists, you can do whatever you want to do privately. But China's society will not support you. Don't force your thinking upon a society which still values traditional ideas and beliefs."
Xiang Xiaohan is undaunted.
"This is a fight for the long term. We will continue to try to encourage the government to safeguard gay and lesbian rights through laws and agree to register our organisation," he said.
"I'm confident that gays and lesbians will be fully accepted in China even though it may take 20, 30 or even 50 years for it to happen."

There can be two reasons why these women would like to be bridesmaids. First, just wanted to be a part of the wedding and celebrate it with the couple. But aside from this, there are some bridesmaids who would have the opportunity to catch the bouquet and be the next person to get married. The only problem is that there are some brides who may find this task of choosing the bridesmaids to be very problematic. They start to be very confused about who to choose and even why to choose them. If you are among these brides who are having some problem sin choosing the beset bridesmaid for your wedding day, what you can do is to read on the following considerations so you will have the right people for your wedding.
Above all, it is important to think or consider your friends or family members. These are the people who have been with you through thick or thin so they must be the ones who want to be with you on your wedding day. With this, they should be the first people whom you should choose to be on your wedding.
However, there are lots of women who would like be bridesmaids but do not really know their tasks. First of all, it is important for the bridesmaid to be that their role is not only done on the wedding day itself. Bridesmaids are the people who will help the bride to have the best wedding possible for the bride. They will help the bride in finding the best wedding needs for their special day. They would be the company of the bride in getting their needs. They will also be the best help that the bride can get as they can help them choose the right design on their wedding.
Next, it is essential for you to choose the bridesmaids who are comfortable in wearing dresses. Remember that depending on preferences, there are some women who do not really like dresses. This means that if you would like to stop any problems that dresses may cause for the bridesmaid then you should not choose them if they can't wear the dresses. This will not only cause stress to you both as the bridesmaid will not be comfortable while the bride will have problems in seeing the disappointed look on the bridesmaids face.
Next, you should not choose a lot of bridesmaids. You can just choose less than five and its fine. You need not to have a lot of bridesmaids just to satisfy all your friends. Only a few will already be a good help in getting the wedding done.
If you have few women friends to choose, you may want to also consider your groom's sister or your common friends. In this way, you will complete your entourage without problems in choosing the right people on it. This would mean that you have to get the following people in order to be a great help for you compared to just doing the wedding preparation on your own.
Finally, it is important for you to know that there should be no guilt when you choose the bridesmaids. Remember that they also understand that not all will be a part of the brides day. And if they are real friends, they will surely understand and will still be around to help.
It is true that bridesmaids are essential to wedding day. With this, it is just important for the bride to get the right ones for them. This is because they are going to be of help for the brides in terms not only for the wedding day but also throughout their lives.

Our main catering kitchen is situated on a wine farm in Botrivier, a small village en route to Hermanus and Caledon, one of the most fertile regions of the Cape Overberg. In 2007, owing to these very favourable conditions and all the farm space around us, we established a vegetable and herb garden alongside our catering kitchen. We now grow as much of our own organic fresh produce and herbs as possible. This allows us to have more control over how our fresh ingredients are grown and we are able to offer seasonal organic produce on our menus, when available.
We have also initiated a recycling programme in our kitchen to minimise the impact that our catering business has on the environment. All non-organic materials, e.g. paper, metal, plastic and glass, are separated into special bins and taken to the Hermanus Recycling Plant for further processing.
