White wedding dresses have been the tradition since the 16th Century, and were popularised by Queen Victoria, who chose white over silver for her wedding dress, which was the norm for Royal brides. Before that, brides simply wore their very best dress, in the colour of their choice. White is meant to symbolise purity, though there are almost endless variations of ‘off-white’ colours such as ivory, cream and buttermilk.

How to choose Summer wedding dresses for 2011

Summer wedding dresses for 2011 are all about the fabric. Ditch satin and heavy silk for featherweight material like chiffon or tulle, especially if you’re planning a beach wedding or a lovely garden ceremony. After all, you don’t want the dress to weigh you down in the heat. Simple wedding dresses are also a key look for the summer bride; the fewer the sequins and beadwork, the better. Go for dresses with a simple applique or ruffle as an accent, and let the dress’s silhouette and texture speak for itself.

Every wedding starts with the simple goal of being a joyous occasion for everybody involved. Wedding advice is everywhere. However, picking a mother-of-the-bride dress can quickly become contentious if some basic issues aren’t addressed properly.

Laptop Tips - Erase computer memory by Battery Wiki

I heard you mention on your national radio show that Apple is about to release the next version of OS X. When can I get it? Will it work on my system?



Answer: It's already here. You can download OS X 10.7 Lion for $30 from Apple's Mac App Store. Your current system needs to be running OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard. Your computer needs an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or higher. PowerPC and older Intel computers won't accept Lion. Lion is a large file; it's more than 3 gigabytes. This will take a long time to download over slower Internet connections. If you don't have a speedy Internet connection, Apple will soon release Lion on a flash drive. It'll cost $70.

7 most important questions to ask wedding dress designer


When it comes to choosing or designing your wedding gown, there’s more to consider than just how jaw-droppingly gorgeous you will look as you walk down the aisle.
The brides should think about and answer some of the questions themselves before venturing into a bridal studio.”
Getting married abroad or fancy something a little less formal? Go for a knee-length gown
1. What is the price of the gown?
There is no point trying on the gorgeous ball gown with the big price tag if, realistically, it isn’t in your budget. By looking at the price tag or letting the sales assistant know your budget this will help them and you to find that perfect gown, but one that won’t break the bank.
2. What is included in the price of the gown?
This is vital when considering your budget as well. Alterations and additional charges can add up depending on what work you may wish to have completed, so knowing what is included and what will cost extra will help with your budgeting.
3. Can the gown be ordered with any changes be made to the patterns or fabrics?
This will differ with every designer you approach and may vary the price, particularly if the material or work required is particularly fiddly.
4. Where is the gown made?
Understand that there are production lead times whether the gown is made in Australian or not, and gowns coming from overseas may be held up in transit or not be quite what you expected.
5. Are there any fittings included in the price? 
This can mean a range of different services and varies from designer to designer. In her studio, Karen Willis Holmes defines fittings as:
Ready-to -wear gowns: no fittings or work included in the price of the gown
Demi-couture collection: two fittings to hem the gown to the correct length are included in the price
Couture gowns: five fittings to have the gown made to fit your exact body shape and design requirements
6. How long will it take to order the gown? What would be the due date?
Understanding that there are production lead times whether the gown is made in Australian or not and gowns coming from overseas may be held up in transit. Most designers ask for a minimum 6 months lead-time.
Religious, civil, humurous and quirky - we've got  loads of readings for you to choose from
7. Can you do alterations for me if needed? 
The chances of requiring some sort of alteration, even if it’s just a hemline, are high and though they look easy, particularly on a complex wedding gown, a skilled seamstress is not easy to find. The work is likely to take longer than you may think. Don’t risk ruining your gown by whipping out the sewing machine and doing it youself (unless you’re an experienced seamstress, of course). It would be a pity to ruin the gown at this stage if the work is done badly.

Useful Tips to buy perfect wedding gown on dresses-shopping

The web is a very powerful tool which used properly will save you a significant amount of time in your search for the perfect wedding gown.There are numerous wedding sites, designer sites, and stockist sites who present useful information and beautiful gowns that may be of interest to you. But,if you are thinking about purchasing a gown over the internet there are risks involved if you don’t deal with a site or person whose credentials can be verified.  
In a recent search using a major search engine and a major auction site, we discovered a number of websites that were using both the names and pictures of name brand designer gowns who were not authorised stockists.  The sites quoted unbelievably low prices for the gowns but did not provide complete information on the gowns.  They quoted a fantastic price but no guarantees.

Purchasing over the Web
If you are thinking about purchasing a wedding dress via the internet, here are a few points to be mindful of:
  • If the website does not represent an authorised dealer and is providing copies the fabric, style, and sizing will most likely be different and of lesser quality
  • Check bridal reviews for others experiences in dealing with the supplier
  • What recourse will you have if the bridal gown does not meet your expectation
  • What guarantee do you have of receiving the gown on a timely basis?
  • Sizes vary from country to country, designer to designer, even gown to gown so be careful
  • Who are you going to use to alter your gown? Altering a wedding gown is a specialised trade and a poor alteration can ruin the look of a gown so make sure you have someone who has experience altering wedding gownsalter your wedding gown.

Just remember if you think you are saving money by purchasing a gown from an unauthorised stockist or even an authorised stockist in another country don’t be surprised if the gown you order does not meet your expectations.  And, you will probably have no way to recover the money you’ve spent.  But worst of all, if you have purchased a wedding gown disaster; your wedding could be ruined because you will not have enough time before your wedding to find your dream gown.

We recommend you purchase your gown at a store where you can verify that the gown is the one you want and you can have it altered to your specifications.  If you are thinking about ordering a gown over the internet, before you order anything make sure you know that you are dealing with an authorised stockist.

Get That Picture of Your Perfect Gown
We would like to suggest that each time you find a picture of a gown you like, save or print a copy of that gown.  Often the designer will provide an easy way for you to copy and/or print the picture of one of their gowns.  This way you will have pictures to show your friends and bridal consultant when you are trying to tell them what style(s) you’re interested in.

 Appointments
If you would like to take a little extra time with your appointment and enjoy a little more relaxed atmosphere, it is recommended that you arrange to come in and view gowns on a weekday.

When planning for your appointment, we suggest you bring the closest friend or family member whose opinion you value and who knows you well and with whom you want to share the experience of buying your gown.Bringing more than 3 others can take the focus off of you. We also suggest, if possible, that you bring pictures of gowns you might be interested in. And bring an open mind: many brides find their dress on their first visit to our store, but they also find all their accessories 
(veils, headpieces, shoes, jewellery etc) on their first visit.

Top Rechargeable Batteries and Chargers Of 2011

Today, the best rechargeable batteries are the new hybrid Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) cells. These hybrid batteries have a lot going for them: they come fully charged (like alkaline batteries), and they can hold their charge over may months (unlike regular Ni-MH rechargeables). Because they can hold their charge for so long, they are suitable for low-drain devices like remote controls and flashlights. But they are also ideal for use in high-drain electronic devices like digital cameras.

While examining various Apple notebooks, such as MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros, and MacBooks for their batteries, Miller discovered that the microcontroller chips inside the laptops contained default passwords, which if hacked could let malware purveyors intervene the system.
He stated that the batteries with default passwords were not constructed for anyone to muddle with them but it the functionalities of these components were truly vicious, as reported by PCWorld.
Further, Miller examined software update (2009), which Apple had utilized for rectifying an issue affecting MacBook batteries, and found passwords in the laptops that could help change the batteries. So when he succeeded in accessing them, he also succeeded in altering the chips' capability so they would display only those readings that favored him.
Besides during his experiments, Miller succeeded in blocking 7 batteries accounting for about $130 each. However, cyber-crooks who were able to load malware, which contaminated the laptop's other parts, found it easy to control the notebook's activities, steal data, or even take over it. Normally, an IT administrator would not imagine an infection in the firmware of the battery, so incase it is not detected, the computer could be repeatedly infected.

Useful Tips to Refresh Your Laptop

Do you have an aging laptop that you want to save from the recycling center? With a few software and hardware upgrades, you could bring that old notebook back to life and possibly avoid having to plunk down cash for a new laptop or a secondary device such as an Apple iPad or an Android tablet.

Refresh the Operating System: Three Options

Back up first! Before making any operating system changes, be sure to back up your data to an external hard drive (or two), and confirm that you have all of your application discs handy so that you can reinstall them. Check our tips on what you should back up, as well as on how to back up manually or through Windows.
1. Reinstall Windows: Over time, Windows naturally slows down. A fast way to bring your laptop back to square one is to use your system-restore disc (or the restore program installed on the laptop) to reformat and reinstall Windows. After a fresh install, your system will run much faster, undoing the years of application installs and uninstalls, disk fragmentation, and everyday wear and tear. See oureight-step complete guide to reinstalling and restoring Windows for assistance in starting over from scratch.
Unfortunately, reinstalling Windows from your laptop manufacturer's restore disc or program will also reinstall any bloatware that initially came with it. A few utilities can help you remove those useless programs: Previously we've mentioned Revo Uninstaller Portable, which is free and doesn't need to be installed on your laptop, as well as Total Uninstall ($30), which has more features, handles uninstalls that require a reboot, and can remove 64-bit programs. If you want a more automatic tool that finds bloatware for you, check out the free PC Decrapifier.
2. Upgrade to Windows 7: If you're running Windows XP or Vista, you may find much better performance under Windows 7--if your laptop meets the requirements for upgrading. Download and install Microsoft's Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine whether your laptop can run Windows 7.
At Microsoft's suggested retail price of $120 for the OS upgrade, this option isn't cheap. If you intend to use your old laptop as just a secondary computer, the investment might not pay off. But if you'll be using the laptop heavily, keep in mind that Windows 7 has been shown to run well on even very old and underpowered laptops and netbooks, and that it boasts a ton of nice features for connecting to other computers, finding your documents and other files, and using your laptop in general.
Want to upgrade? Check out our instructions for upgrading to Windows 7, including how to perform the custom (that is, clean) install required for XP users, as well as the upgrade path for Vista.
3. Try Linux: For a free, lightweight, and secure operating system upgrade, consider trying Linux, specifically Puppy Linux. My PCWorld colleague Katherine Noyes pointed out several features of Puppy Linuxthat make it a nice option for older PCs, including its ability to run off a CD or USB flash drive, as well as its small footprint. It boots quickly, too.

Easy Hardware Upgrades: Three Options

1. Add memory: The easiest, and often the most cost-effective, way to add a performance boost is to install more RAM. If your laptop has 512MB or less of memory, you can boost its speed by a third by upgrading to 1GB. (Find out how much memory is installed by clickingStart, going to the Control Panel, and clicking System. In the General tab, you'll see the amount of RAM.) Memory is cheap these days--1GB of RAM can cost as little as $20--so I recommend upgrading to the maximum amount of memory your laptop can use. As mentioned in ourguide to upgrading PC RAM, memory vendors Crucial and Kingston both offer easy-to-use tools for finding the right memory for your computer.

Ibm ThinkPad T60 akku 
Toshiba Satellite A105 akku

2. Upgrade the hard drive: Replacing your laptop's hard drive will not only get you more space, but it can also significantly increase the laptop's performance. Older laptop hard drives may have a low, 4200-rpm rotational speed; upgrading to a 5400-rpm or 7200-rpm drive will produce a noticeable speed difference during boot-up, data transfers, and general use.
For about $50, you can buy a 5400-rpm hard drive with 320GB of storage space, or a 7200-rpm drive with 320GB of storage. (Compare prices on notebook hard drives.)
You can upgrade the hard drive yourself in just a few minutes. Before ordering the replacement drive, confirm what type of hard drive your laptop currently has (look on the drive itself for the interface type and height, or note the model number and look up the information on the drive manufacturer's website). A notebook hard-drive upgrade kit, such as those from Apricorn starting at $19, can clone your old drive and make transferring your data to the new one very easy.
D-Link DWA-131 D-Link DWA-1313. Upgrade your Wi-Fi to Wireless-N: If your home router uses Wireless-N (aka the 802.11n protocol), you can get faster network connectivity on your laptop by upgrading the notebook's wireless card from the older 802.11b or 802.11g standard to the latest protocol. Wireless-N products have been shown to be as much as seven times faster than 802.11g. Another benefit: Since older wireless devices can drag down the rest of a Wireless-N network, upgrading your laptop can improve your network overall.

Top Features of the New Apple iPad 2

With such a dominant grasp on the tablet market, many people are wondering where Apple could possibly go with their iPad 2 that is slated for full release on 3/11. The answer to this is practically everything. This tablet is going to be lighter, thinner, more powerful, and have better ergonomics than ever. Apple realizes that they are about to be attacked in this niche market and they are ramping up the design features to stay competitive.
The iPad 2 is going to feel quite different in the hands, but in a good way. It is 33% thinner and 15% lighter than the original without sacrificing any screen size. The speaker grilles have been dramatically enlarged in the back for clearer quality sound to go along with the streamlined build. The paint scheme will be expanded with the second generation of the iPad to either black or white hard cases straight out of the box.

The internals are no less impressive with a dual core 1GHz A5 processor that claims to be nearly twice as fast as the original including graphics that are nearly nine times better. This would generally mean much more power consumption, but the battery life remains nearly identical with 10 hours of playtime. There is still the option for a Wi-Fi only edition at a significantly reduced price with the 3G version running quite a bit more expensive.
Apple took a hint from the success of their later-generation iPhones and implemented a VGA front-facing camera for their FaceTime video chat program. This allows for one of the easiest and most conventional face to face functions on the market and is sure to be a large draw. The traditional rear-facing camera is also included with 720p resolution shooting at 30 frames per second. Included in the rear facing camera is a highly responsive auto-focus with a 5x digital zoom for catching those long distance shots.
Steve Jobs himself has designed and perfected the cover for iPad 2. Apple is careful not to call this a case, but a responsive and customized cover. There is both a plastic and leather option for these Smart Covers that can be acquired during purchase of the iPad. The proximity sensors will wake and sleep the iPad whenever the protective screen flap is open or closed. It will stay firmly shut even during the jostling that can occur in a briefcase or backpack with a powerful magnetic snap to keep the sensitive touch screen safe.
If one thing can be said about Apple, it is their unwillingness to rest on their laurels when it comes to the technology race. In a market that does not change yearly, but weekly, they continue to set their sights to the future with the lighter, smaller, and faster iPad 2.

Teens Laptop Tips to buy The Next Computer by wholesale electronics news

We know, we know– it feels like summer is only just beginning why are we starting to think about thenext school year? Unfortunately as we all know all good things like summer must eventually come to an end and we have to return back to our regular ways of life and school– which we all know comes back way too quickly. As the back-to-school sales really begin over the next few weeks we want to help make sure you go back fully prepared, well, gadgets wise at least.

One of the toughest things today in back-to-school shopping is finding a new computer/tablet/phone that isn’t just cheap or good, but right for you and what you want and need it to do. We want to try to make this easier for you, and over the course of the rest of the summer we plan to have a whole bunch of posts and guides on good deals we see, some of our recommendations for a new computer, tablet or phone etc. In short, we’re here to help.
Other Business News:
Tablet PC
laptop battery charger
Touchscreen Monitor

So with all that in mind we’re gonna kick off this back-to-school “series” with some tips on what you should look for when your out shopping for a new laptop for school and what are the basic specs that any 2011 computer you buy should have.
The Basics
We’ll explain all of this in more detail below, but for those of you just looking for a short quick list, here are our basic, minimum specs that any new computer that you buy today should have:

Dual core 2nd-gen Intel i3 or i5 processor or AMD Vision E-350
4 GB of RAM
320 GB hard drive
5 hours of battery
Windows 7 Home Premium
There are a ton of computers available with these specs below $500, and as long as you have these specs your new computer should be good to go for the next few years.

The Details
Now let’s get into a bit more detail. When it comes to picking a new computer today, the choices are near endless. Walk into your local Best Buy, Staples, Walmart etc. and you’re immediately surrounded by walls filled with computers and salespeople, well, looking to do what they can to make a sale. If you don’t know what to look for you could very easily wind up with a computer that either is too slow, not the right size, over priced, or just not what you wanted or needed.

We want to try and help you avoid that, so here are some more details to help you understand what those basic specs mean and why you need to have them in your next computer.
The OS
Pretty much a no brainer when it comes to new PCs– Windows 7 is one of the best versions of Windows that Microsoft has ever made, and today you’re gonna find it on any new PC you buy. We love Windows 7, it’s fast, easy and well, it works. There are however, many different versions of Windows 7, but when you’re out shopping for that new PC, you’re gonna wanna get Windows 7 Home Premium. It’s the most common version of Windows 7 and should be more than enough for anything you’re gonna want to do with your new PC (for our full Windows 7 review, see here).

Of course we love Macs too, and while they are more expensive than your typical Windows PC, their great all-aluminum designs and software are what makes them an equally excellent choice for a new computer (particularly with the new OS X Lion, which is included on all new Macs today).
And for those wondering about the next generation of Windows due next year called Windows 8, while it will be designed for better use with touchscreens and tablets, Microsoft has said that it will also run perfectly fine on today’s traditional keyboard/mouse PCs you find in stores. Basically, you don’t need to worry about your new laptop being completely out-of-date next year.
The Processor
Unless you plan on doing a lot of intense graphic, video, or audio creating/editing/producing or a lot of intense gaming (hey, it could be your future job too), you should generally be fine with a processor like a second-generation Intel Core i3 or i5 (though if you are doing a lot of the above we recommend the much faster, though more expensive, i7 processor as you’re gonna need the extra power).


A lot of people have asked us about the differences are between the i3 and i5 and if it’s worth the price difference to go with an i5 (the i5 version is generally the more expensive of the two when comparing two similar computers). Most of the time we’ll tell them that it is. As we all know, computers are expensive and when it comes time to buying one, the intended goal is to have it work well for the next few years. That being said, the i5 in our opinion is better suited for those next few years with its higher speeds and Turbo Boost technology. In simple terms what Turbo Boost does is make the most of your computers performance and battery life by automatically speeding up and lowering the processors depending on what you’re doing (for example, turning off one of the processors while bumping up the speed of the other when coping something into iTunes to make it go faster or turning both on when your editing a video or gaming so you get the best speed and power). You could find great new PCs with these processors at prices well below $1000 mark.
