Focus Quote

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:52:27 -0700

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

Gadget for Celebrities: Anti Paparazzi Flash

As Lady Gaga sings in her hit song "Paparazzi":

Got my flash on it's true
Need that picture of you
It's so magical

Someone has "invented" a new gadget for celebrities: an anti paparazzi flash gadget which fits in a purse. A photographer shooting a celebrity at night, complete with flash will find that every photo would be ruined as the flash from the anti paparazzi device will blind the camera's CCD sensors. There are still bigs in the "invention".

Anti Paparazzi Flash Not New

Anti Paparazzi Flash Gadget for celebrities is not new. If you are a studio photographer you would know that this technology basically uses the slave concept. Flash slaves basically are triggered by large flashes of light - and if you are organising a studio setup with multiple flashes this feature helps triggers all the flashes to light the subject.

Sydney Spring Cycle is on 27th September this year. Organised by Bicycle NSW, there are four ride options: The Original "Ride North Sydney" which takes you from North Sydney, across the Harbour bridge, through the Sydney CBD and inner Western Suburbs and finally to Sydney Olympic park (a 40 km ride + 10km if you choose to do the additional circuit around the park). There is also a ride originating from Blacktown in Sydney's west and Liverpool in Sydney's South-western suburbs. Finally you can take the lazy *ahem* easy route around the park. I guess the last one caters for families - but the last time I went on this ride I saw little kiddies making their journey from North Sydney with mini-road bikes. Register for the event.

Body:

It's tax time! New Financial Year today for Australians. It's time to lodge your tax return. Or perhaps there's a certain strategy to it? If you are organised and love the challenge of claiming deductions and you know that the Australian Tax Office (ATO) owes you money, well you'll be submitting your etax today. The deadline for submitting a tax return in Australia is October 31st. If you know that YOU owe money to the tax office it is in your best interests to hold that money in your pocket as long as you can. So if you expect a large tax bill, you'd be the one to hold back until the last minute to lodge your tax return. If you are under the first tax threshold (aka student, low income, casual_ then you'd probably not even lodge a tax return.

When does the Australian Financial Year Start and Finish?

The Australian financial year (fiscal year) starts on July 1st and ends on June 30th.

Megavideo Hack: Free Full Videos Via Offline Secret

So here we go with our first megavideo hack. Buffer up the video (let the video finish uploading) to 100%. Then go to your Internet browser bar and click "File" and then choose "Work Offline". Remember to undo your selection after you've watched your movies so you can start surfing the web once again.

Hack Megavideo: Temporary Internet Files

In both IE and Firefox - they store the file in a Temporary Internet Files Folder and hack from there by copying the file and renaming the extension to FLV. Load up the video so its 100% buffered. In Internet Explorer click Tools, Then "Settings" (under the "Browsing History") then "View Files". Sort the folder by file size.

Michael Jackson has died from a cardiac arrest. He was born August 29, 1958 and is an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums have become some of the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995). In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.
