Click on these and you either get a sub-menu carousel or go straight to the function you’ve selected. Roll over the messaging and organiser icons, and you'll also be shown if you have any unread messages, notes, tasks or events to look at. The main menu is a carousel of large icons which shows what each one does as you highlight the options in turn. Call and End keys take care of making voice calls. There are shortcut buttons on the top of the phone too for the camera and messaging options. Icon-labelled buttons in each corner allow you to backtrack or go straight to the main menu screen. Or you can use the four-way pad on the left side. You navigate the main menu control using a neat trackball on the right of the keyboard. You can call also use a virtual numberic pad on screen when the slide is closed. To type out phone numbers, as well as a row of number keys, there's a secondary keypad-style grid of numbers overlaid onto some of the letter keys. One gripe is the additional, alternative characters, all too small and too blue against the black keys, making it almost impossible to identify them in low-light conditions. With the screen up, the dinky keys are fine for tapping out text with your thumbs, though go carefully if you have thicker digits. We suspect the funky, Facebook-savvy target audience might just notice these shortcomings. But the camera is a 1.3-megapixel snapper – real entry-level stuff in late 2007 – which surprisingly doesn’t even do video recording. It does have a music player – supporting multiple file formats this time around, including MP3, AAC and WMA files included - and a hot-swappable Micro SD memory card slot. It’s not a 3G device, relying on quad-band GSM/GPRS/Edge connectivity. The Slide isn't exactly cutting-edge either. Previous Sidekicks have been criticised on this side of the Atlantic for offering dated features. But the Sidekick isn’t meant to be a business or techie messaging device The Qwerty keypad is a vital part of the Slide's easy email, instant messaging and texting functionality, and also lends a hand to browsing on the device’s big-ish screen. The device is designed as a gadget for young people to stay in touch via email and IM as they zip around town, surfing and networking as they go. It measures 117 x 61 x 10mm and weighs around 156g, so has the size and feel of a PDA rather than a phone. The Slide may be smaller and more compact than the handbag-sagging 182g Sidekick 3, but it’s still no slimline pocket-pleaser. T-Mobile's Sidekick Slide: 25 per cent smaller than previous models It still has the Sidekick-style Qwerty keypad hidden under a moving 2.4in, 320 x 240 pixel (QVGA) display, though this time the screen simply slides up rather than slide-and-swivelling into place. It’s 25 per cent smaller than the previous models, and slimmer too – addressing one of the most obvious turn-offs of its too-chunky predecessors. The Slide is the first of the series to be made by Motorola rather than Sharp. But, despite several attempts by T-Mobile to propel the Danger-designed device into the mainstream, it has so far failed to get Britain's youth ditching their Nokias and Walkman phones en masse. Review Whenever the Sidekick is mentioned, the phrases “big in the States” and “Paris Hilton” inevitably follow.

We’ll all find out in the coming months. The “Breaking Bad” movie will be eligible at awards shows in the TV movie/limited series categories, with Paul contending as a lead actor after years of playing second fiddle to Cranson. After visiting former friends and having flashbacks to simpler times, Jesse goes on a wild journey to locate money at the late Todd Alquist’s ( Jesse Plemons) bachelor pad and then tries to track down vacuum salesman Ed ( Robert Forster) about the possibility of being “disappeared.” While driving off into the night, Jesse soon realizes his life will always be in danger unless he leaves Albuquerque for good. “El Camino” takes place moments after the 2013 series finale that resulted in chemistry teacher-turned-meth king Walter White ( Bryan Cranston) being killed in a shoot-out with white supremacists, and his ex-student Jesse Pinkman (Paul) escaping to parts unknown.

Captain Lou didn’t actually voice himself in this short-lived animated ridiculousness (neither did any of the other WWF wrestlers for that matter) but I absolutely LOVED this show. In remembering how Captain Lou affected my childhood, I would be remiss to leave out Hulk Hogan’s Rock N’ Wrestling cartoon. We just watched the show, ate our Ninja Turtles cereal and occasionally did “ The Mario” for hours on end. It was never clear how the cartoons and the live-action show were supposed to be related but 8 year olds typically don’t ask those sort of questions. cartoons that seemed to be set in the universe of Super Mario Bros. In between Mario’s Earthbound hijinks, they would show Super Mario Bros. I lean towards “pre “because he wasn’t constantly waking from night terrors shivering and screaming about carnivorous fungi and flame belching, man-sized lizard people. Captain Lou portrayed what seemed to be a pre or post mushroom kingdom Mario that lived and worked as a plumber in a big city (presumably New York) with his brother-in-overalls Luigi. The Super Mario Super Show seemed less like a scripted children’s show and more like a late night public access affair (but with a MUCH lower budget). It’s not like Captain Lou has constantly been on my mind for the last 25 years, but his recent passing unlocked a flood of memories of being 8 years old and him being EVERYWHERE. The 1980’s stood in such stark contrast to the 2000’s in that a big, fat, hairy, sweaty dude with rubber bands stuck to his face could be a pop icon.

This complemented the black striped dial and bezel that was also made from rubber. The rubber strap was made in balck rubber with a tappersie waffle-esque design with the outline of the classic Tag Heuer shield logo at the top. The case shape became more angular and featured a rubber or three link bracelet. Not only were there new movements but their water resistance massively increased from 300m to 500m, as the name would suggest. From 2009 to 2012, they released the Aquaracer calibre 5 500m (reference WAJ2110). This would prove to be the foundation for the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 that had a very successful run. Tag Heuer continued to update and change minor details across their Aquaracer 300m until the end of 2009. Hence, it was after thai that Tag Heuer decided it was time to design more of a variety designed to be worn by most people so they started to make them thinner and more wearable. They were Aquaracers that featured a dual time zone and date function however this made the watch extremely thick at just under 15mm and with a case diameter of 43mm, you really had to have a large wrist to wear it comfortably. The calibre S was used inside their Grand Dates which used the carrera calibre 16 case, but these were only a short production. Towards the end of 2007 the calibre 5 started to be used inside their automatic watches whilst the quartz watches featured various types of ETA and Sellita movements. Tag Heuer had a tendency to put more effort into their automatic dials, they offered them with a ‘Clous de Paris’ design which takes inspiration from the famous tappersies dial that Audemars Piguet are famously known for. Tag Heuer differentiated the quartz watches with a coloured logo whilst the mechanical watches received a monochrome and less fussy logo.Īnother way to differentiate their quartz from the automatic movement was by the dial on the watch. However if you opted for the automatic mechanical movement from Tag Heuer, the case, like before, increased to 41mm and you did not have a coloured Tag Heuer logo. This design was continued on the hands with them also being in a stick shape filled with lume. The new deal was a sunburst steel with Tag Heuer’ new stick hour markers filled with lume. Thai time the bezel featured larger polished minute markers and the numbers were made larger with deeper engravings for greater legibility. Their new 38mm Aquaracer looked extremely similar to the model Jack Heuer first released with its dodecagon (12 sided) bezel made from brushed and polished steel. In 2006 Tag heuer made some changes to the Aquaracer line, the biggest change was they started to use colour on the Tag Heuer logo on the dial. One thing to note with the day-date, it only came in a 43mm case size. The Chronograph reference CAF2010 had either a royal blue or grey dial with the option of either a date or day-date function. From 2005 to 2008 they kept on adding more chronographs as they were one of their most popular models not just in the Aquaracer line up but their whole entire watch range. Tag Heuer was determined to provide a dive watch that anyone could wear and more importantly, wanted to wear. This was also surprisingly only available in 41mm which was odd for the time as Tag Heuer normally offered chronographs in 43mm. However, the newest addition to the Aquaracer line was the addition of a chronograph in 2005. Again, like the previous generation they kept the same two case sizes available, the 38 mm for the quartz movement and 41mm for the automatic one. Tag Heuer went on to see huge amounts of success with their Aquaracer 300m and so they kept the same name through to 2009. 11/28/2023 0 Comments Crash team rumble pre orderOnly Deluxe is available to purchase physically, with the Standard Edition being exclusively digital.

Setup Process: Simple and ready to sell you some services You can activate the Show functionality manually on the device (without the dock), but it’s still a clever addition that might appeal to users who like smart hubs. The screen mimics the Show’s display that you can use to get quick visual information and call friends and family. It connects to the tablet via the micro-USB and props it up so it looks and behaves like the Echo Show. Plus, it has a two-year worry-free guarantee.Īs an add-on to the Fire HD 8, you can pick up the Show Mode Charging Dock. If the tablet will primarily be used by children, this gives you some extra peace of mind. The HD 8 version retails for $130 and includes a “kid-proof” bumper case and a year of Fire for Kids Unlimited, which opens up a library of child-friendly games, books, and videos. This is a big selling point for anyone buying a tablet for a kid-Amazon even makes its own line of Kids Edition Fire tablets. This device is not waterproof, but it is rugged. There is also a handy microSD slot that allows users to upgrade the storage past the built-in 16GB capacity. Given that Apple has said goodbye to all but the USB-C port on the latest iPad, this is a welcome addition for users who are still operating with wired headphones. Two ports are situated at the top of the device: a micro-USB connector for charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack. If you’re looking to read an ebook on your commute or stream some YouTube videos before bed, it’s a nice alternative to your smartphone screen. 11/28/2023 0 Comments Best podcaster headphonesRelated reading: best podcast microphones, podcast headphones, podcast hosts. Some audio mixers also allow you to cue up and play jingles or sound-effects or connect a phone or other device with ads or music, which can be helpful if you want to save a bit of time in post-production. Multiple headphone jacks to allow multiple listeners as you are recording could be another important feature for podcasters, depending on the recording set-up. One capability that podcasters might look for, for example, is a USB output that allows you to record audio directly to a laptop. While an audio engineer might base their mixer purchasing decision on which one will sound the best, podcasters typically prioritize things like input and output capabilities, and ease of use. Things to consider when purchasing an audio mixer are the number of channels it can accept, the preamps included, what other equipment it is compatible with, and of course size and cost. Audio mixers can also give you a bit more control with your recording settings. An audio mixer is not an essential piece of equipment for all podcasters, but can be helpful if you are planning to have multiple mics recording at the same time, such as during an interview or for a show with multiple hosts. Of all the equipment you may be considering for your podcasting production, audio mixers have some of the most variety in features and along with that, the most variety in pricing. 11/28/2023 0 Comments Crash of cars hidden cars loungeThe car was pictured on CCTV shared by friends. Sophie Russon, 20, was taken to hospital. Read more: Sister of 21-year-old killed in crash shares heartbreaking tribute as police refer themselves to watchdog She said police had initially suggested Sophie, 20, was still on a night out so up to 200 family members and friends set out to find them. Her mother Anna Cerowicz said she drove past the scene three times – but the car was obscured by trees. She was semi-conscious with a bleed on the brain and had broken her spine and neck, leaving her unable to call for help on her phone before they were finally discovered early on Monday. Sophie Russon had to wait 46 hours before the VW Tiguan she and her friends were in was discovered, after it crashed off the A48 in Cardiff. "I think that speaks volumes really, they had all that equipment, and we had cars when we were looking." "The search party found the girls before the police found the girls." We found them before the police found them – we rang the police. "They only posted the appeal an hour before the girls were found. Tamzin Samuels, 20, who was at the scene yesterday, said: "I do think the police could have done a lot more in putting the helicopters out earlier. “To ensure independent oversight, South Wales Police has referred the matter to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, as is usual in these circumstances.”Ī friend of the three women claimed it was members of the public searching who found them and not the police. “Family liaison officers are supporting the families involved at what must be a hugely difficult time for them. “Specialist officers are carrying out an investigation to piece together what has happened. South Wales Police and Gwent Police have referred the matter to the Independent Office For Police conduct.Īssistant Chief Constable Jason Davies of South Wales Police said: “Our thoughts are with the families of all those affected by this tragic incident. The car’s wreckage, which was hidden by trees, was eventually found by volunteers. Sophie’s mother has revealed police told her to ‘stop calling’ while she drove around South Wales looking for her daughter. Sophie Russon, 20 and Shane Loughlin, 32 were found alive having spent two days in the car seriously injured next to their friends’ bodies. Their bodies were found on Monday morning in the wreckage of their car - along with two survivors. Eve Smith 21, Darcy Ross, 21, and Rafel Jeanne all died in the crash in St Mellons Cardiff. 11/28/2023 0 Comments Firestone inn moonstone beachThey didn’t have anyone cooking fresh eggs and such, but they did have a fresh pancake machine. What a nice experience! Breakfast was served buffet style, so you could get whatever you wanted. We got ready for another day on the road and wandered over to the breakfast room. It was one of those memories that sticks with you long after you’ve forgotten what you ate at that expensive restaurant. We woke up refreshed with the fire still blazing. They save the good things for the room and have extreme hospitality instead of Louis XVI antiques. The lobby is pleasant, but not opulent It’s clear everything is meticulously maintained, but there are no frills. There’s nothing fancy about the exterior or the hallways. For me this was a plus – and the rooms are out of this world. One thing I wanted to be sure everyone understood. I’m writing this from memory rather than my copious notes. Notes which, by the way, are now packed away in some box while I’m waiting for my house to get finished. I lounged on the sofa before the fire jotting down notes from the day. I think it deserves at least a three night stay. My only regret about the Fireside Inn is that I only had one night there. So after dinner we chilled out by the fire. I’m thinking this is a “go-there-for-lunch” place – at least for us. The last meal we had there was earlier in the day, so we got to enjoy the view out of the big picture windows overlooking Moonstone Beach. So it was not our favorite dining experience of the trip, but I think that had more to do with us than them. We were tired from driving all day and the noise level was extreme. We were looking to grab a bite and they wanted us to go the full monty. The menu had also been completely revamped. The place was jammed and it had been redecorated since our last visit. I remembered having at least one meal there and reviewers had raved about it, so that’s where we had dinner. My desk clerk friend endorsed it as a great place for dinner. Right next door to the Fireside Inn is the Moonstone Bar and Grill. My desk clerk fan explained that it would be safe to sleep with the fire going, so we did. Speaking of the fireplace, it didn’t work at first, but when I called my friend at the desk he hurried over and jiggled whatever needed to be jiggled. Not in an expensive over the top sort of way, but it made me want to curl up on the sofa in front of the fire. The room itself was down right luxurious. The bathroom had plenty of room for two people and was perfectly appointed. With that kind of reception you want to like your room and we did. He acted like he hoped we’d have a reason to call him so he could visit with us again. He was full of restaurant suggestions and well wishes. He was friendly in a genuine way, not in a corporate mandate way. It was late afternoon, almost evening, when we arrived and the desk clerk made it seem as if he’d just been dying for us to get there. Eventually, I chose Fireside Inn, but I have no reasonable explanation for it. Each time I got online I’d change my mind and Bill wasn’t much help either. Oh, there was usually one or two people who ranted about smelly rooms or noise or something, but those grumps were sprinkled pretty evenly among my choices. There was one small problem with Moonstone Beach. And of course there’s an app, so I can get to the items I’ve saved when I’m out on the road. Their reviews seem to resonate with me more than the Expedia crowd’s and I love using the Saved Trips feature for things I want to see while I’m researching. Though I’ve been doing my booking with Expedia for years, recently I’ve begun to do a lot of research on Trip Advisor. I wasn’t so sure about the accommodations. It was one of those experiences that I’d wanted for a long time and I was determined to keep it on the itinerary. Though pretty much everything about the trip changed several times over, I guarded my night on Moonstone Beach with a vengeance. Several months back I explained how this trip to California went through several permutations before I actually got to take it. I’ll continue with my travelogue.įireside Inn at Moonstone Beach in Cambria is now on my list of favorite bed-and-breakfast inns. TRAVEL THERE: PLEASANT STAY AT FIRESTONE INN ON MOONSTONE BAY |
