If you happen to have a small cardboard box around your house you have a unique way to display photos or even decorate for the holidays. A square cardboard box, with a tuck-in lid, is all you need to get started with the simple but beautiful conversation piece. And, when you're finished with the easy project, you can simply change the look of the photo cube any time you want, in mere seconds!

The cube you use needs to have a lid and it's the perfect box if the lid is attached and will tuck into the box. Box tops that are split down the middle can be taped shut and used for the photo cube, too. If the box doesn't have a lid you can cut a piece of cardboard and tape it in place. A square cube is perfect but the photo cube can also be made from a rectangular box.

Start by purchasing a roll of magnetic sheeting. You'll find it at any craft store. You can also purchase the magnet by the sheet but you'll need to purchase two or three sheets, depending upon their sizes. Cut a piece of the sheeting to fit each side of the cube, including the top and the bottom. If you want, you can put something in the box to weight it, before starting the project.

After you've cut six pieces of magnetic sheeting, to fit the six sides of the cube, you'll then attach the various pictures you want to display to the magnetic squares. Magnetic sheeting has a peel-away adhesive backing which makes it easy to attach the photos. Simply peel the backing and position the photo on the magnet. Trim if necessary.

The first set of six pictures will actually be glued to the box. Glue one picture on each side as well as the top and bottom of the box. After the glue dries your cube is complete. To make it an interchangeable photo cube you'll now make additional magnetic pictures.

You can create particular themes for your cube or you can just cut family photos that you'll use to change the look of the cube at any time. If you want to create themes you'll simply make six new photos for each theme. Cut photos and images from magazines, cloth, posters, product boxes and other sources.

Since the first set of magnetic photos are glued to the box the next set will easily attach to the first set. The magnetic sheeting allows you to simply stick the next photo to it. Display family photos this week, a Halloween theme later, then a Christmas scene during that time of the year. There's no limit to the different themes you can make.

Take things you love, like dolphins or lighthouses, and create a beach theme. Use other pictures to create a theme of your growing child. Select six different photos, which show your child as he or she was growing up, then make a photo cube with that theme. It's easy to make themes for holidays, anniversaries, graduations, or vacations.

Don't continue sticking more and more pictures to the cube. Instead, keep the original photos glued to the cube, then add one new set over those, anytime you wish. The next time you want to change the theme just remove the old set and add the new.

Stick with one form of images for each set. For example, make all the photos in a particular set out of paper or out of cloth. Don't make some of them from product boxes, some from cloth and others from photos. Although you can use the various types to form a collection of sets, the cube doesn't look quite right if you mix them. You can have one set that's all made from fabric images, one set all cut from magazines, and so on.

Set the cube on a shelf, the mantle or a counter top. Display in a window or just set it on the coffee table. The cubes make great gifts and fabulous conversation pieces. They're easy to create and so easy to change – whenever you take the notion. It's an inexpensive way to show off your photos and holiday themes while investing very little money. Get the kids involved – it's a great project for them as well!

Celebrated photographer Tony Ward will be visiting the ABC Treehouse in Amsterdam to sign his newest tome Wasteland, a photo documentary of that infamous annual, very Amsterdam, celebration.

Penthouse Magazine has called Wasteland “the wildest party on Earth” and Time Out calls it a “Pansexual Pilgrimage”. This notorious Amsterdam party, “where the fetish lifestyle is celebrated and applauded”, began in 1994. In 2009, internationally renowned – and notorious in his own right – photographer Tony Ward documented this phenomenon, and Wasteland (the book) is the result.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the signing.

Tony Ward’s photographic imagery unites his primal love, erotic art, with his perennial passions for fashion, design and portraiture. He achieved global notoriety for his first published book on erotic photography, the controversial and highly praised Obsessions (Editions Stemmle, Zurich, 1998). Obsessions was followed by four more challenging, innovative and critically acclaimed volumes: Orgasm (Alixe, Paris, 2000), Tableaux Vivants (Stemmle,Zurich, 2002), Orgasm XL (Alixe, Paris, 2002) and Best of Erotica (6 X 6.com., Berlin, 2005). Critical thinkers on photography such as A.D. Coleman, Rick Wester and Reinhold Misselbeck, have written illuminating essays that accompany these editions.

Ward’s fine art is widely collected, exhibited and syndicated around the world. His graphic mediations on his favorite themes, fashion, portraiture and the use of sex in media, are both groundbreaking and accessible. Editorials about Tony Ward and his work have been published in numerous international popular culture magazines, books and television, such as Stern, Max, Playboy TV, Penthouse, RTL TV Germany, TVA Television Amsterdam, GQ, Park Avenue, Loaded, Vibe, Men’s Health as well as avant-garde Dutch magazines Blend, BLVD and LINK. He also shoots fashion for Neiman Marcus.

David Beckham is most likely going to miss this year's World Cup even after the successful surgery on his torn Achilles tendon on Monday.

See Beckham Injury Video Here

Beckham, 34, suffered the injury on Sunday and flew to Finland for surgery that was done by one of the world's top specialists. His injury occurred during the AC Milan's 1-0 win over Chievo.

Dr. Sakari Orava, the surgeon who did the operation on Beckham, reports that “So far everything is fine.” He came the through the operation with flying colors.

Even though the repair to his Achilles tendon was done and all went well, the healing process will not allow Beckham to play in the June 11,World Cup in South Africa.

Beckham will start physiotherapy once his foot is out of the cast which will be anywhere from six to eight weeks.

This would have been Beckham's fourth time to play in a World Cup. He is England's most capped outfield player with 115 appearances under his belt.

Beckham's website said on Monday, “I am upset but want to thank everyone for their messages of support,” “I hope to make a swift and full recovery.” England coach Fabio Capello said Beckham not playing in the World Cup was a “big blow.”

Beckham was getting ready to kick a ball in Sunday's Series A match when he suddenly stopped and shouted to the Milan bench “It's broken”.

“He had a total tear of the left Achilles tendon, which is excruciatingly painful. The tendon was totally repaired and he will be facing lengthy recuperation that will lead him to physical therapy in a few months.

Beckham, was on loan at Milan from Los Angeles Galaxy and is due to return to Galaxy in July .

It would be rare for a soccer fan to have not heard of Real Madrid. Today, it stands as the richest, the most successful, and most sought after club in the world. In recent times, the soccer club has made headlines with President Florentino Perez going on a buying spree of over 250 million euros in the last summer to buy back some long lost European prestige.

From Kaka, to Ronaldo, to Karim Benzema, Xabi Alonso, or even Esteban Granero, no one was immune to the big man's charms. Fans around the world watched with faint-jawed awe as one after the other, they all put pen to paper, committing to the sporting project of the century.

However, amidst all the glitz and the glamour, it is easy to forget about the very principles that guide this club, and these next 5 men embody just those.

5. Gento: A speedy winger from Cantabria, Gento is quite possibly the most successful Real Madrid player in history, looking at raw trophies won. He was one of the only constants in those mythical sides that conquered Europe 5 times in a row from 1956 to 1960.

4. Emilio Butragueno: He was nicknamed the vulture for a good reason. In a time when most centre forwards were tough as a tank, built like concrete, and clumsy as an oaf, Butragueno brought the madridismo a sense of elegance, style, and arrogance never seen before. His control on the ball was legendary, and his finishing even more so. The famed Quinta del Buitre is aptly named, since he was their ring leader, leading them to 5 successive league championships and back to back UEFA Cups.

3. Raul Gonzalez Blanco: A living legend for the fans to worship if there ever was one. Raul started in the Real Madrid first team under Jorge Valdano at the tender age of 17, and led Real Madrid to their first Champions league title in 38 years when he was 19. Along with Morientes, he formed possibly the worlds' most lethal strike partnership in his early years. Hailed as the best player in the world around 2002 by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, Raul has gone on to break record after record for club and country. He is the most capped player in history for Real Madrid. He is also the top goal scorer in history for Real Madrid as well as Spain. A true gentleman to boot, Raul Gonzalez has proven himself a true role model.

2. Alfredo Di Stefano: Real Madrid's obsession with 'sweating the shirt', and playing eye-candy soccer at the same time can be traced back to this man. Possibly one of the greatest players of all time, Don Alfredo was instrumental in establishing Real Madrid as a European powerhouse in the late 50s. Today, he is the clubs honorary president.

1. Santiago Bernabeu: Everything about this great club, from its intimidating stadium with sheer walls on all sides, to its need to buy the best players in the world, to its political and moral affiliations, can all be traced back to this man – simply the most influential person in the clubs history. A lawyer with an eye for talent and affection for football, he was the one who lured Alfredo Di Stefano to ply his trade in Spain.

You have horrible taste in music, these were some great, great scores. And to show the opponents goals would make it impossible to fit within the 10 minutes youtube allow us on our videos posted.

Racing Santander could pose a big threat to Real Madrid’s title aspirations and Brazilian defender Marcelo affirmed it

Parts of his statements on Real Madrid’s official website read:

“We need to take each match as it comes. We’re not thinking about Barcelona right now. We will only focus on them next week.

“We need to focus on Racing because they can really put us in a bind if we have our heads somewhere else.”

Real Madrid are experiencing an injury crisis without the likes of Kaka, Raul Albiol, Karim Benzema, Garay, and Guti who have been added on the list along with the injured Drenthe.

Hoping those absences don’t affect them negatively, the Spanish giants will hope that the other men on the pitch accomplish the club’s mission of keeping the lead in La Liga standings ahead of El Clasico.

Real Madrid are currently on 74 points, with ‘9 finals’ separating them from clinching the Spanish Primera Liga trophy.

Three million children play soccer each year.  With World Cup events in recent months, there is a new rejuvenated excitement associated with soccer for children.  For those seeking an energetic, competitive sport, requiring endurance and providing optimal work outs for the cardiovascular system, soccer is a perfect choice in sporting activities, especially for children. Offered as both and indoor and outdoor sport, soccer is exciting and exhilirating but also dangerous when proper play and stretching techniques are not followed. Protecting a child from the injuries associated with soccer will allow for a more pleasant experience soccer experience.  

Like adults, child suffer a common soccer injury involving the knees. Specifically, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), in a child soccer player, may sustain signficant strain through the various leg maneuveurs required for completing a soccer drill. Working within the knee to provide stability, the ACL can be partially or totally torn leading to immediate and sudden pain, many months of rehabilitation and, often, surgery to correct the repair.  For children, learning to prevent ACL injuries is a lesson that should be taught in the early years of soccer participation.  

Second to ACL injuries, many child soccer players develop ankle disorders also attributed to the lower extremity manuveurs in controlling soccer ball manipulations.   Ankle disorders, in child soccer players, often become chronic in nature and progressively worsen with soccer play over several months and years.   T o avoid ankle injuries in child soccer players, appropriate technique in strengthen lower leg muscles and foot muscles is highly recommended in both the soccer setting as well as in a fitness facility or home setting.   In fact, with proper stretching techniques, many child soccer players will avoid the most common strain involving the tibialis.  In this type of injury, the child soccer player may complain of ankle pain but, instead, learn the pain is associated with the muscles on the backside of the leg, connecting the tibia and the fibula together.   Avoiding this type of injury, at an early age, will lead the child into many years of soccer activity.

In addition to general stretching techniques, to prevent ankle and knee injuries in child soccer players, parents should also encourage the child to wear protective equipment including mouthguards, which will reduce the number of injuries sustained.  Additionally, what is not commonly known is that many child soccer injuries are comparable to that of running injuries as the same level of fitness and endurance is required in children.  In other words, injuries which are sustained in a running exercise can often be damaging to the body to the same degree as those in soccer.   For injured child soccer athletes, this may be disconcerting as the potential for any type of simple running exercise will be inhibited with a soccer injury thus leading to an inability to perform physical activity both at home, on the soccer field as well as at school.

As parents, providing the appropriate guidance and supervision to young soccer players will lead to many years of fun and enjoyment in the athletic programs.   With soccer, utilizing proper stretching techniques, in addition to appropriate protection, will ensure the child soccer play remains active with the soccer program while also continuing to pursue other physical activities at home and at school.  For more information regarding soccer injuries in children, visit www. footy4kids.co.uk.

With so many world-class players, selecting a World Soccer Team of the Decade for 2000-2010 is almost an impossible job. The debate could go on endlessly and there is no true perfect format for selecting players. This list uses a combination format by choosing from attributes such as club team play, national team play, longevity, statistics, and technique. In addition to the starting 11 players, there are 7 substitute selections to make a full squad of 18 players.

Starting Team: (4-2-2-2 formation)

Goalkeeper

Gianluigi Buffon (Italy, Juventus)

The least controversial choice of the whole team, Buffon is easily the best goalkeeper of the decade and the modern soccer generation. A very smooth net minder, Buffon won 4 Italian league championships, or scudettos, with Juventus and a runner's up UEFA Champions League Medal in 2003. In addition, his play and leadership were integral to Italy's winning the World Cup in 2006. Although very tall at 6 feet 4 inches, Buffon has cat-like reflexes, great agility, and incredible hands. His inspired play seems to instill a sense of calm and confidence over his defensive partners.

Right Back

Lilian Thuram (France, Juventus)

Through classy defending that combined athleticism, physicality, positioning, and technique, Thuram excelled in both central defense and wide right for club and country. After a wonderful performance for Les Bleus at World Cup 1998, Thuram played an integral part in France's European Championship 2000 team and World Cup runner's up team in 2006. Thuram was also a beast for Juventus in the first half of the decade as they lifted two Serie A titles.

Central Defense

Rio Ferdinand (England, Manchester United)

A very steady defender who has never disappointed for club or country at the highest stage, Rio starts in central defense for the World Team. Ferdinand combines great size at 6 feet 4 inches and athleticism with excellent composure on the ball. With Manchester United, Ferdinand has won 4 Premier League titles and 1 UEFA Champions League title over the decade. At World Cup 2002 and 2006, Ferdinand put in outstanding performances as England reached the quarterfinals of both tournaments.

Central Defense, Captain

Paolo Maldini (Italy, A.C. Milan)

Maldini is the choice as captain of this squad and starter at central defense. A giant at A.C. Milan, he helped them lift the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2003, 2007, and a runner's up medal in 2005. Although Maldini retired from the Italian national team in 2002, he led them a few minutes away from winning EURO 2000 and to the second round of the 2002 World Cup. Maldini was selected UEFA Champions League defender of the year in 2007 at the age of 38. Maldini brings wonderful, natural defensive abilities and an amazing presence to every defense that he has anchored. He may be the best defender of all time.

Left Back

Roberto Carlos (Brazil, Real Madrid

An explosive player with great pace, powerful free kicks, and tenacious defending, Roberto Carlos mans the left back spot for the World Team of the Decade. A mainstay starter for Brazil and Real Madrid, he won one World Cup trophy, one Champions league trophy, and three La Liga titles over the course of the decade. Roberto Carlos showed excellent consistency by starting over 30 league games for Real Madrid in 10 straight years.

Right Midfield, Deep

Steven Gerrard (England, Liverpool)

Gerrard's never-ending motor, penetrating runs, and powerful shot will run the deep lying right midfield position for the Decade Team. A legend at Liverpool and stalwart in midfield for England's national team, Gerrard won two FA Cup trophies, one UEFA Cup, and one Champions League trophy during the decade. His incredible performance in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final against A.C. Milan showed his true grit and influence on a team as he led Liverpool back from a 3-0 deficit to win in extra time.

Left Midfield, Deep

Patrick Vieira (France, Arsenal, Juventus)

Vieira was a monster in the middle of the field for Arsenal and France throughout the decade. An incredibly powerful player who could break up opposition attacks and make foraging runs to get involved on offense, Vieira sits next to Gerrard in the deep lying midfield role. Vieira helped France win the European Championship in 2000 and reach the final of the 2006 World Cup. For Arsenal, Vieira captained the squad to Premier League titles in 2002, 2004 and FA Cup titles in 2002, 2003, and 2005.

Attacking Central Midfield

Zindedine Zidane (France, Real Madrid

Three-time FIFA World Player of the Year, Zizou played as if the ball was attached to his foot by a string. His legendary technique, touch, and imagination make Zidane an easy choice in the attacking midfield role. Zidane flourished as maestro of the France national team during the decade and led them to a European Championship in 2000 and a runner's up finish at the 2006 World Cup. Twice the FIFA World Player of the Year in this decade, Zidane led Real Madrid to one La Liga title, one UEFA Champions League title, and one Intercontinental Cup final.

Attacking Midfield

Ronaldhino (Brazil, Barcelona, A.C. Milan)

Although a slightly different player after losing some pace in the latter part of the decade, Ronaldhino is easily one of the most gifted and influential players of the decade and entire generation. As part of a great attacking line-up, he helped Brazil lift the 2002 World Cup trophy and a FIFA Confederations Cup trophy in 2005. With Barcelona, he won two league titles and one UEFA Champions League title. When on form and in full flight, he was simply unstoppable.

Forward

Ronaldo #9 (Brazil, Real Madrid)

Possibly the most talented forward of all time at his peak, Ronaldo had some ups and downs throughout the decade. However, his highs were well worth his inclusion in this squad to include a great run to help Brazil win the 2006 World Cup and Real Madrid win two La Liga titles. Ronaldo is the all-time leading scorer in World Cup play and may add to his total in South Africa during the 2010 World Cup. Ronaldo is an incredibly talented player with great touch, power, explosion, and scoring ability. With no disrespect to Cristiano Ronaldo, younger fans need to watch some clips of Ronaldo #9 in true form to see who the “real” Ronaldo is.

Forward

Thierry Henry (France, Arsenal, Barcelona)

Henry is a player with great pace, creativity, vision, and calmness under pressure that easily makes this first team. He led France to the European Championship in 2000 and a runner's up finish at the 2006 World Cup. With unprecedented success at two major international clubs, Henry starred for both Arsenal and Barcelona over the decade. His teams have won two English Premier League titles, one La Liga title, and one UEFA Champions League trophy over the decade.

Substitutes

Ruud Van Nistelooij (Holland, Manchester United, Real Madrid)

Ruud is an out and out striker that can score. He scored loads of goals over the decade in some of the highest quality of competition. Ruud is a three-time UEFA Champions League top scorer and lead scorer in both the Premier League and La Liga over the decade. In this team, Ruud would be a potential late replacement for Ronaldo.

Lionel Messi (Argentine, Barcelona)

The world's best player in 2009, Messi just misses the cut for the first 11. His role as a super-sub could bring great pace to the team as a replacement for Ronaldhino. Messi may be the quickest player ever with the ball at his feet.

Claude Makelele (France, Real Madrid, Chelsea)

A stalwart in defensive midfield for club and country, Makelele would be a great sub for any of the midfield players in this team. He was the engine of many great Real Madrid and Chelsea sides of this decade.

Cafu (Brazil, Roma, A.C. Milan)

An incredibly consistent and fit player, Cafu had a tremendous overall decade. He mostly played right back but probably could play left back in this side as well. Cafu was on many winning sides this decade to include Roma's Serie A title in 2001, Milan's Champions League in 2007, and the World Cup winning Brazil side of 2002.

Oliver Kahn (Germany, Bayern Munich)

A very consistent and intimidating goalkeeper who could be counted on to make amazing saves every game, Kahn is a capable backup for Buffon. Kahn led Bayern Munich to 6 Bundesliga titles over the decade and one Champions Leage title. In great form during the 2002 World Cup, he led Germany to the runner's up trophy.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Manchester United, Real Madrid)

A tricky player with great speed who continued to improve throughout the decade, Cristian Ronaldo could be a replacement anywhere at midfield or forward in this team. He was at the peak of his career in 2008 when he won a UEFA Champions League title and FIFA World Player of the Year with Manchester United.

Pavel Nedved (Czech Republic, Juventus)

Neved had some amazing years with Juventus winning multiple Serie A and Italian Cup trophies over the decade and always was dangerous for his Czech Republic National Team. A fiery wing midfield player with great skill, Nedved could fit in at any position in midfield.

An Island women’s soccer youth movement is blowing across pitches like pollen this spring.

Gorge FC, with five players still in high school, won the Terry Price Cup Lower Island Premier championship game Sunday with a 2-0 victory over Vic West at Royal Athletic Park.

Meanwhile, Team Canada, with Victoria players Abigail Raymer and Ally Courtnall on the roster, advanced to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Under-17 qualifying tournament in Costa Rica after a 2-1 victory over Panama to move to 2-0.

“There are a lot of good young players from the Island,” said Bronte Fitzsimmons, a Grade 12 Oak Bay High star, who scored the winning goal in the first half Sunday for Gorge.

Fitzsimmons helped lead Oak Bay to the 2009 B.C. high school AAA championship game against Handsworth and hopes for another big school season this spring.

“The intensity, quickness and pace, however, is so much higher in the women’s Premier League,” added the talented Fitzsimmons.

Heather Christie added the insurance goal in the second half for Gorge, whose youthfulness is balanced by the veteran stability provided by several recent CIS University of Victoria Vikes grads.

Gorge, which defeated Gordon Head Gold 2-0 in the Terry Price semifinals, won 13 games in the regular season and was essentially undefeated. The only blemish came through a technicality — a default loss because a player transferring home from European pro leagues was ruled ineligible.

Gorge defender Lindsay Butler, a Grade 12 student at Frances Kelsey Secondary in Mill Bay and a member of the youth brigade, proudly carried aloft the Terry Price Cup from the field into the tunnel leading to the RAP dressing rooms.

“This feels good but we had to work for this because Vic West played well,” she said.

Vic West coach Ian Logan did a good job in a Terry Price run that lifted his regular-season fourth-place side (6-6-2) into the Cup final after a 4-2 semifinal victory against Nanaimo United.

“We turned it on in the latter stages of this final but it was a little too late,” he said.

“Gorge does not have many weak links. They have a good blend of veterans mixed with their young rookies.”

Gorge and Vic West now prepare for the Province Cup playdowns starting in two weeks.

In Costa Rica, the undefeated Canadian girls play Mexico on Monday in their final group game of the U-17 CONCACAF qualifier, but already have earned their place in the semifinals against either the United States or host Costa Ricans. Two teams from the qualifier will advance to the FIFA 2010 Under-17 World Cup in the fall in Trinidad and Tobago.

On June 8, 2009 Apple announced the iPhone 3GS at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). During that announcement AT&T was conspicuously missing from the list of carriers planning on permitting tethering of another device to the iPhone for a data connection.

Tethering is the process of connecting devices, such as a notebook computer, through the use of a cable or a wireless connection to permit that device to use a wireless phone's cellular data connection as its own. This is very popular request amongst the iPhone crowd.

In November of 2008, AT&T's Mobility chief Ralph de la Vega was quoted as saying iPhone tethering would become a reality in 2009. 2009 came and went with pained voices of iPhone owners complaining that the tethering never arrived. AT&T has expressed a concern that the added burden of iPhone tethering would stress the network's already thin data capability.

On January 27, 2010, Apple announced the iPad, a next-generation tablet device which would usher in a new format and set of features for Apple and its customers.

During the iPad announcement Apple also revealed a new AT&T data plan agreement. There had been significant rumor in the days leading up to the iPad reveal that Apple had entered into an agreement with Verizon but that rumor fell flat. AT&T will provide the 3G data within the United States in the form of a $14.99/250MB or $29.99/”unlimited” (read that as a likely 5GB limit) plan.

But wait, what happened to the promised iPhone tethering? What happened to the taxing of the network capacity if tethered iPhones came on board? Here is an entirely new device with its own, unique data plan with the blessings of Apple's Steve Jobs and AT&T.

Was there an agreement to quietly let iPhone tethering die, and in its place, a new device emerges with its own data plan which would use less data than a notebook connection? This makes both Apple and AT&T more money while constraining the 3G network data use. Interesting times, indeed.

Real Salt Lake is the name of one of the newest professional soccer franchises in Major League Soccer. The team itself is based out of Salt Lake City, Utah where they have a large number of diehard fans. Real Salt Lake have only been part of Major League Soccer for three years. In 2005, the franchise joined the league as an expansion club and they have managed to be quite successful ever since. Currently, Real Salt Lake play their home games at Rio Tinto Stadium which is capable of holding 20,080 fans.

Throughout the history of Real Salt Lake there have been an array of problems regarding the stadium that they were to play in. During 2005, there was a plan to create a soccer-specific stadium for the club, but this plan quickly fell through the roof. This was due largely in part to the fact that there was a lack of funding for the project. Several different plans were revised to try and find a way to create the stadium in the Sandy suburb of Utah, but each plan seemed to fail. Surprisingly, funding for the stadium ultimately came from the state of Utah and Governor Huntsman.

During the first year that Real Salt Lake participated in MLS their head coach was John Ellinger who was the U-17 Men's National Team coach and the director of the Bradenton Residency program. However, John Ellinger was quickly replaced by Kreis due to lack of performance. Kreis was a large part of the new relationship that was founded with the youth academy of Real Madrid.

During the first few years of their history, Real Salt Lake signed a $25M agreement with Real Madrid. This agreement provided Real Salt Lake with the money that they needed to train players in the Salt Lake City area and potentially develop them for their first team. Each year the youth teams of Real Madrid and Real Salt Lake play against each other in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The development of the Real Salt Lake youth academy was the first youth academy that was ever created in Major League Soccer. The development of the Real Salt Lake Youth academy was quickly followed by the development of the Red Bulls youth academy in New York. Either way, Real Salt Lake have had a rich history throughout the course of their first few years as a franchise. Only time will tell where this Major League Soccer franchise heads in future years.

Shoes of the Centipede

Flex your toes in these bad boys, I tell you soccer players all over the world. Football players! I meant to say that. The ball is round, and you kick it across the field into the goal. That game. Put these shoes on for it. These are the Umbro “Centipax” shoes, a concept by Tobin Dorn. It’s an outsole design that absorbs the impact of everything using injected EVA and makes you fly above the ground with super speed. Lightweight, flex grooves in the heel, distribution of impact. Inspired by the creepiest crawliest insect in the world, the trillion legged centipede.

I’m sure you’re aware of the fabulous natural powers of the centipede, the fiercest animal in the insect kingdom. It’s got a billion legs, it’s got to keep its footwear fresh! And with these Centipax soles, it’s got as much distribution of impact from the outside as its own magnificent body.

Weddings are a time of joy and love. Little girls seem to dream of their future wedding date by the time they start talking. Weddings are something that most everyone knows about years before it is their time to walk down the aisle. When the time does come, there are all sorts of planning that needs to be made. One of the most important however, is finding that perfect photographer that will capture perfect memories on one the most memorable days that many people will have.

The first thing one should consider when choosing a wedding photographer is recommendations from friends that have had a pleasant experience in the past. Start by asking close friends or relatives about potential photographers, and how well their expectations were met. Always ask if you can look over their wedding photographs. Take your time and look over each and every picture. Did this photographer capture joyous moments? Were the pictures clear? If everything seems to be your liking, then the next step is to call the photographer. If you have absolutely no leads from friends or family, then going to the yellow pages and wedding web sites would be the next best option.

It is absolutely essential that you trust your wedding photographer. Even if you’ve been given wonderful recommendations about a certain photographer, it is up to you to take the extra step.The pictures hanging on Aunt Martha’s walls may be splendid, but you still need to do a little more digging on your own. The second step is to contact the photographer and set up an appointment.Simply e-mailing a prospective photographer would not be sufficient. Remember that we are talking about lifetime memories here. You want to make sure you have in person interview with the photographer so you can ask all the questions you need, and get a close up look at previous work done. Once you meet with potential photographers, developing a friendship is of utmost importance. This photographer will be photographing family and friends in an up close and personal manner. You want to make sure that you are comfortable enough to get your views across. Remember that there are no “do overs” when it comes to a wedding day.

Third, make you sure ask to see a portfolio of the photographer’s work. This will give you a good indication of the photographer’s abilities and sense of style. More often than not, people who appreciate portfolio work will also appreciate the results of their wedding pictures.

The fourth, and sometimes most difficult task, is discussing price, yet this is a must. Once you have narrowed down the photographer that you want, it’s time to get the plan in action. The more experienced photographer will almost always charge more. Make sure that your budget will allow you to afford what you need. Ask how many photographs will be taken, and if you are allowed to keep the negatives. Keeping the negatives will be invaluable if you ever want to reproduce any copies. Have the photographer explain everything that you will be entitled to. If the price seems a bit too steep, a little negotiating never hurt anyone. You want to have beautiful pictures, yet you do not want to go bankrupt in the process.

The fifth and final tip happens on the big day. Now that you have already met your photographer, you can be comfortable that an unkempt professional will not be showing up on your beautiful wedding day. By now, you know what kind of work your photographer does what the prices are, and how well you two get along. Do a quick run through with the photographer one last time, and let the magic begin. Enjoy yourself and let the photographer capture brilliant moments.

There is no better way to capture the special memories of a wedding than through photographs. Pictures are keepsakes that will bring joy for many years to come. With a little research, quality wedding pictures can become a reality on your wedding day.

HP Compaq 610 39 kaufen

My family recently bought a new laptop for our 4-H groups tech team, okay it's not ours but we were responsible for seeing the groups money well spent. And my wife was the one who got the grants to get it so it was our job to get a good laptop and get the things they need for one. They want one for things like web site design, presentations and a Lego Robotics program.

We shopped around and one newer laptop company called Averatec caught our eye. They have been making laptops for a couple of years now and are doing pretty well at it. The company has no big complaints against them and no law suits pending that I could find. That is one thing I want to look at when I think about spending this kind of money on a new companies computer. Will the company be around in a year when I need to get support from them.

We needed a very basic laptop for the Lego program but wanted a pretty good processor and a decent size drive for the other things like Powerpoint or presentations and Frontpage or web design. We were looking at something that was less than a thousand and preferably less than eight hundred, my wife had raised eight hundred dollars so far and we would have liked to get a laptop for that. All the new laptops we could find were around a thousand but we kept going back to one store we have dealt with before and we got them to offer us a deal on this one. We had not heard about Averatec but the sales girl said it was a good company and asked the store owner about a deal as it would be going to a good organization, 4-H. They offered us $750 for the laptop and we took it and ran. Okay we didn't run out of the store but we did need to get the money from the account and I wanted to check on the company some.

The only negative thing I could find on the 3250 series of laptops was a problem with the screen, it appears that some people are having the keys touching the screen and causing pixel problems and scratches on it. I looked at ours and it is not touching the keys, maybe this is something on only certain models, but I don't see a problem with the one we got. I looked the computer over and at all the things like the little keys and such and could not find anything wrong or anything to worry about. The model we bought is a used one and it's a refurbished model. It had been used for a year and the previous owner had bought it for school and then quite school. They no longer needed it so the store bought it back from them, and we got it at a good price. The store reinstalled windows and did a full format on the drive so we got a fresh install with the Windows Service pack 2 and no extra junk on the drive.

I have bought another computer at the same store and would highly recommend you look for a similar type of local store for purchasing computers from. I had bought my first laptop from a Best Buy but the support from them is terrible, you have to have your computer sent out and then get sent back and that takes time that you wouldn't have to deal with if they had someone on site to work on your computer. They are also very strict on what they will cover even when you buy the extended warranty, it has to be a hardware problem before they will touch it.

The Computer Renaissance I bought this laptop and my desktop from has certified computer technicians in the store for troubleshooting and repair so they don't need to send it out anywhere and can get it fixed quicker for you. I like the way they deal with me as a customer and have the people at the store to fix the things that could go wrong with my computer. They are always happy to answer questions I have and it's easier to get in touch with them and their technicians when I have a question about the software or a problem I'm having.

The Averatec 3250 we bought is a smaller laptop with a 9 ¾ by 7 ¼ inch screen. The specs on it say it is a 12.1 inch screen but that's measuring from corner to corner. It's a small and light laptop that has a lot packed into it, the case is 9 ½ inches by 11 ¼ inches and 1 ¼ inches tall. It weighs about four and a half pounds which is pretty light.
The specs are pretty impressive for the model I bought, and the things that come with it are nice.

The specs for this series are here:

Mobile AMD Athlon XP-M 2200
Microsoft Windows XP Home edition
Dual DVD-CD burner
512 MB RAM
60 or 80 GB Hard Drive
Built in Wireless 802.11 G Network
3 USB 2.0 Ports

The computer case is a smooth Magnesium or some such, but it's not plastic and should wear pretty well, especially as this one will be seeing a lot of traveling and passing from one person to the next. I like the feature of the built in wireless network and it was a surprise till after we had bought it. They didn't tell me it was there and I missed that when I was looking it up before we bought it, so we got a really good deal. The laptop runs well and does not get too warm, this is a major concern with laptops. My HP 4600 gets real hot and we had to install some feet on it so the thing does not sit directly on the surface we set it on, otherwise it tends to heat up and not function properly. This one doesn't get as warm, the vents work better and it has a better heat sink I guess, I installed a temperature monitor program and it does not get near as hot as my other one.

The laptop comes with 512 MB RAM memory but it is easy enough to install more, the card is in a small door that removes with two screws and then the card is right inside, just un-clip the things on the side and it pops out, a new one would not be hard to install but 512 MB memory is pretty good. The drive is a 60 Gigabyte but it starts at 55 with the stuff that is already on for the system. It has the usual modem and sound card and all the other things you expect in a laptop.

The laptop is set up to be used in a desktop storage device or dock of that sort as the battery is in the back and pulls out. But I could not find a device or dock for sale, this maybe something that they were planning on or are planning on adding in the future. The USB ports are on one side toward the front and the LAN and phone connection on the other while the sound jacks are on the front. There is no jack for the mouse but you use the USB port for one.

The audio has a thumb wheel on the front to control the volume as well as the internal controls on the windows audio. The two jacks up front are for head phones or speakers and a microphone. The wireless Internet is a nice feature, a switch on the top near the hinge by the power button turns on and off the wireless card or whatever is inside, it then automatically tries to connect to a wireless connection. On mine it tried to connect to our towns new wireless system they have installed throughout the town. It said because I don't have the settings for an account that I had to set up one before I could use it. But I like that it just starts to find one and did get the thing, just that I didn't have an account and could not hook up until I did.

The laptop came with Windows XP Home Edition and the usual programs that go along with a new laptop. Some I used like the Cyberlink for playing CDs and DVDs but some like Norton Anti Virus I got rid of. I don't like Norton or many of the other anti virus companies like McAfee that many stores use for their computers and that come as an introductory offer. I use Trend Micro's PcCillin Internet Security, but for this one laptop I just loaded a free anti virus from Grisoft, AVG anti virus and Firewall available here: http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1

I also go through the programs and get rid of ones that I know they will not use to save space on the laptop. I also add some programs like spyware protection and registry cleaners to maintain the computer. I also use a good tutorial guide for tweaking the different things on the computer like settings of the system. You can see what I mean by visiting Tweak Town here: http://www.tweaktown.com/
They have some very good guides for help with settings and such to make your computer run faster and more efficiently.

Another thing I like about the design of this laptop is the access to the fan and heat sink. It is nice to have the little panel you can take off and clean out the fan to make sure you are getting the best heat dissipation from the heat sink without the chance of fluff and dust in the laptop catching fire or burning something. This may not sound like too much of a concern but it has happened and is something I do think about, I do clean out my computers regularly as they do collect a lot of dust and get clogged up with it. You should open yours up and vacuum out the dust bunnies to keep your computer working in top condition. Believe it or not dust can conduct electricity and cause errors on your computer.

A new battery for the laptop will run about $70 for a 4 Amp Hour one and $100 for a 6 Amp Hour. I have found out that we get almost two hours of battery time when using the laptop with just playing around and searching the Internet, if you use processor intensive things or the drives much it would probably shorten that time. We almost always use our laptops plugged in though, it saves wear and tear on the battery for when we can't use the power cord. There is an external battery you can get for the laptop, many of the Averatec models use the same one, it is about the same size but half as tall as the laptop. It has a six to ten hour run time and costs about $370 or so, it would be great for anyone who needed the extra time without the power cord to an outlet such as on the road.

The Averatec is an up and coming laptop company that has only been on the market for a short time. They are concentrating on laptops and are working toward a good design and limiting themselves to this corner of the computer market for now. They have several laptops available and with a wide variety of specifications, in several different sizes and with different cases for the fashion conscious computer buyer. You can see more on the models available here: http://www.averatec.com/

The Averatec has some nice computers and the smaller models like the one we bought, the 3250 is a nice and simple laptop. It has a good set of specifications and is nice and light for portability. The case is nice and seems like it will be durable and resist scratches and dents. The things that are missing like a mouse connection and battery time are no major problems. What can you expect for a reasonable price and a smaller laptop.

However, spending time with the ones you love can sometimes be too exhausting, but thanks to the modern advancements of technology, you are able to escape the drone of the highway by watching your favorite movie. You can do this through your laptop or through a Portable DVD player.

However, if you decide to use your laptop, you will notice that the screen isn't very cohesive to the certain situation that you are in. This is why the use of a Portable DVD player is absolutely necessary. But there are literally hundreds of portable DVD players available on today's market, and honestly, who knows which ones are worth your money? Well, there is one portable DVD player that is utterly amazing. This is the Toshiba 9″ 16:9 Widescreen LCD Portable DVD Player, Model: SD-P1900. This portable DVD player is perfect for road trips as well as long airplane rides with your friends or families.

But what makes this portable DVD player from Toshiba so amazing? First off, you will be able to enjoy the full-effect of the movie through the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratios, which is what is found in all high-end televisions. Thus, you will be able to enjoy cinema-style viewing, even while you are traveling throughout the world.

Another great feature of this Toshiba portable DVD player is the wide array of formats that are viewable. You can was DVD,DVD-R, DVD VR, DVD-RW, CD-R, CD, MP3, CD-RW, WMA, and even DivX movies. This portable DVD player utilizes a progressive-scan video system that gives you an absolutely stunning picture quality, no matter where you are watching it.

Since this is a 9″ widescreen monitor, you are receiving one of the largest screens for a portable DVD player. However, how does this portable DVD player sound? This is incredibly important, especially when you are driving down a noisy highway. You will be able to enjoy the benefits of virtual surround sound with this portable DVD player, which will actually sound like you have a surround sound system within your car.

However, what happens when you have to listen to your movie through headphones, but there is more than one person watching the movie? In days of old, you would have to share headphones or if you had Ear-buds, only one ear-bud would go to each person. However, this problem has been remedied with this portable DVD player because it comes with dual headphone jacks, allowing for more than one person to listen to the movie, as well as watch it.

Yet, the best feature about this portable DVD player is the price; you can expect to pay an average price of only $180.00 for this portable DVD player. This is a great price for all of the features and quality of this product. If you are looking for a portable DVD player that will make all of your road trips go a little smoother, than this is the product for you.

Sony is yet to grace the market with a VAIO mini laptop, in fact Sony has been openly reluctant to produce and sell a netbook. Sony executives have said that the cheap notebook concept doesn’t align with Sony’s “premium” corporate image. That said, I’ve seen Sony make some pretty rubbish electrics before, my TV for example, so this could be taken two ways: snobbery or a joke.

But in recent years, Sony have come out with some very genuine very up-market products that support this claim. Sony’s Bravia TV range is a market leader, they’ve continued the ‘Walkman’ legacy against the might of the Apple iPod and iTunes and in gaming, it’s extended its PlayStation brand, replacing the best-seller PS2 with the PS3 with a staggering £425 RRP against Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii. It’s VAIO laptop line is also very good.

But have they left the netbook market altogether? Technically, yes. Try searching “netbook” on Sony’s VAIO mini-site – no results. Sony doesn’t and isn’t going to be associated with the cheep and cheerful image presented by Asus when it brought out the Eee PC. But they do have a VAIO laptop that is small, light and portable: the VAIO TT.

The TT is an impressive product, offering an 11.1 inch screen, up to 9 hours battery life and weighing a petite 1.3kg putting it on par with the 8.9 inch HP 2133 mini-note and lighter versions of the Asus Eee PC 1000. All of the TT models feature a strong carbon fibre chassis in a choice of two colours, ‘intense noir’ and ‘gold fever’. Sony proclaims carbon fibre is “used in racing car or aircraft manufacturing that’s 200% stronger and 30% lighter than conventional materials used in computer chassis design.”

A bi-product of the larger screen is a larger keyboard which is very nearly (but not quite) comparable to that of a full size notebook. The keys are large and separated slightly, with the centre of each key indented marginally for better accuracy.

With Sony’s TV background, the 11.1 screen comes with a lot of expertise. Viewing on its widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and 1366×768 resolution, is delightful. Also, the ability to read blu-ray discs (or any disc) gives far more flexibility. You don’t have to faff around burning DVD’s or downloading films online – and the quality is such that the viewing quality isn’t compromised either.

The huge battery life – up to 9 hours – lends itself to use whilst away on business, more than enough for a full working day. Sony has incorporated a variety of power-saving and efficiency features, such as the battery care function which prevents wear and tear on the batteries, automatic adjustment of LCD brightness according to the environment you’re working in and the use ultra-efficient Intel Centrino 2 technology.

Connectivity is certainly at the heart of the TT, with embedded 3G ‘Everywair’ on several models with speeds as high as 7.2mbps. A T-Mobile sim card is incorporated on a free trial. Luckily, you can remove it and use your own sim card so you’re not bound to a new contract.

Perhaps then, Sony has very definitely entered the mini laptop market, but specifically marketing it as if they haven’t. Oh yes, the website bangs on “slim and sophisticated design” and how portable it is, but Sony is very reluctant to use the ‘n’ word. Perhaps it needs to be said for them, perhaps not.

The difference between the VAIO TT and a typical netbook like the Asus Eee PC or the Acer Aspire One is so profound. Are they in the same league? Price wise, certainly not; the VAIO TT is expected to retail at around £1,200 for entry level models, compared with a more modest £200-300 for your everyday mini laptop. It’s certainly just as portable and useable; however, it is clear Sony’s taken a different approach to portability.

Asus pioneered the netbook by starting afresh, building a small computer that could handle simple tasks processing, quick internet and making it affordable. Sony’s answer was to reduce the size and weight to make it ultraportable whilst maintaining excellent performance. The result is a very high performance laptop, that has the size and weight properties of a netbook – it is, if you like, the sophisticated mini laptop.

As if buying Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka for a combined €160/$225 million wasn't enough, Madrid president Florentino Perez said his buying spree isn't done yet. Valencia striker David Villa tops Perez's transfer list, with the club reportedly wanting at least €37/$52 million for the Spanish goal-poacher.

Villa, 27, started his career with Sporting Gijón in 2000, before transferring to Real Zaragoza in 2003. He joined his current club, Valencia, where he became a fan favorite for his goal scoring. In his first season at Valencia, Villa finished second in La Liga with 25 goals. Villa continued scoring in the following seasons, netting 16 goals in 2006-07, 18 goals in 2007-08, and a personal high 28 goals in 2008-09. The striker received praise from newly transferred Madrid midfielder Kaka in 2008, where he said he would love to play with Villa.

However, Madrid will face stiff challengers for Villa's signature. Chelsea, who have also been courting Villa, will attempt to bring the Spanish striker to Stamford Bridge. In April 2009, Chelsea were considering an offer of €53/$74 million, but did not make an official offer. It will be no surprise to see Chelsea push for Villa after losing Kaka to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, fellow English club Liverpool have shown keen interest in Villa's teammate David Silva, who Madrid are also interested in. However, Liverpool have seemingly fell out of the race for Silva after increasing debts have decreased their transfer funds.

Madrid president Florentino Perez also has his eye on Liverpool anchor Xabi Alonso. The price tag for Alonso is similar to Villa's, with Liverpool demanding at least €40/$56 million for the Spanish holding midfielder. A year ago, Alonso almost moved to Juventus after he was deemed surplus to requirements. However, Alonso was able to challenge his way into the team and is now being targeted by Real Madrid.

It will be interesting to see how this transfer season unfolds, and whether or not Madrid will push top contenders Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea in the Champions League with their new additions.

Turning your digital photos into an online photo album you can be proud to share with friends and family is easy. All you need is a good digital camera, a computer and lots of time for a new addiction. Follow this simple guide for creating photo albums online and you too will be sharing the best moments of your family's life.

Film vs. Digital

You don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money on a digital camera to create dramatic photo albums. It is possible to create albums with photos developed from film. It just isn't as efficient and the cost is higher in the long run considering you have to purchase film and have it developed as well as spend extra money on purchasing a good scanner. The upside to scanning your images is that you can always go back and upload old pictures taken before the digital camera era.

Photos that are uploaded to a computer directly from a camera tend to be sharper and more vibrant. For the novice or amateur photographer even a $50 digital camera produces slightly better images than those taken with film. Unless you have top of the line professional equipment.

Once you've mastered using your digital camera or scanner you're going to need someplace to put your photos if you want to create and share digital photo albums. Here is three of the most popular digital photo album sharing websites.

Shutterfly.com – Shutterfly is an online photo album service that allows you to upload and create on the fly. Their services include features that allow you to create books, postcards, calendars and photo gifts.

Photobucket.com – Photobucket is just like shutterfly. They are an online photo album sharing service that's simple to use and has a really cool community vibe. They've recently incorporated a scrapbooking area on their website and also give users the capability of maintaining a group photo album.

Picasa Web Albums – Brought to you by google this gem of a find is perfect for those new to creating digital photo albums. The users interface is simple to navigate. Albums happen with the click of a button.

The nice thing about using a third party digital photo album service like photobucket is that it's pretty much click and go. To create an album, log into your account at whichever photo album service you chose to use and locate the upload photos function and browse to files directly from your hard drive. Use the provided templates to build visually stunning presentations.

The process and capabilities for creating an online digital photo album is different for each site. Photobucket offers more of a variety of things you can do with your images than does shutterfly. Whereas sites like Picasa offer a simple, straightforward service that is designed with no frills to make it less complicated for the beginner. Look for the help section, FAQ or support section of the website you are using to get help with creating a digital online photo album.

That's all there is to it. Now you can share your photos online too. Go forth and create!

At the spacious, marble-floored MaRS building at the corner of University and College, Vincent Cheung won the student entrepreneur competition in the National Business and Technology Conference held last Friday and Saturday. Cheung, a PhD student at U of T, is a computer engineer and budding business mogul.

Cheung won for his company, Shape Collage Inc., which takes photos and makes them into any shape. On March 8, Cheung was named by the group Advancing Canadian Entrepreneurship as the 2010 Student Entrepreneur Regional Champion, competing against students from Ontario and Quebec in front of a live panel of business professionals. He’ll go to the ACE national exposition in May and could move on to compete for the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards.

In 2007, Cheung wanted to display pictures to family and friends but couldn’t find a program that worked well enough. He tinkered and came up with a new algorithm for automatically arranging photos in a collage.

“Imagine I give you 50 photos and I throw it on this table”—Cheung points to the square coffee table in front of him—“You’ll only be able to see five of them because they’re piled on top of each other. So what you would do is one by one spread them apart from each other and that’s essentially what the algorithm is doing. You randomly put this on a digital canvas and you move them around until you can see them all. The only difference is that this table can be any shape that you want, like a heart or a word.”

At first, Cheung posted the program on his site, where it received no attention. But after more publicity, the program has, in Cheung’s words, “gone viral.” “In February last year I emailed a couple of blogs,” said Cheung. “I said, ‘Hi my name is Vincent and I made this program called Shape Collage.’ Maybe one out of the five websites would write a review about it. They would have a couple hundred or even a thousand viewers who would then find out about me and also start blogging.”

Shape Collage has had a million downloads in the past year. Cheung recently cut a deal with Photobox, the largest online printing company in Europe.

Cheung graduated at top of his class from the University of Manitoba. He has interned at Microsoft and Google.

As a computer engineering PhD candidate, Cheung focuses on machine learning and computer vision, using probability and statistics to make sophisticated algorithms for solving problems. He also does work with molecular biology, using algorithms to analyze DNA and genome data in order to find patterns that will become platforms for experimentation.

Cheung credits all his success to “hard work and an open mind.” On his website he calls himself the “CEO, founder, and janitor.”

“I don’t see the point of being money-intensive,” Cheung said. His extravagant purchase since his business took off was a new cell phone. He quickly explained that the phone is for business purposes, so that he can expand Shape Collage into phone applications.

Kenwood releases in what is perhaps a first with this new iPod speaker dock. But that is not all it has. It even comes with a digital photo frame which may be something interesting to note. The Kenwood AS-iP70 Speaker dock with digital photo frame features a 7” WVGA LCD display to go with the familiar pop-out iPod/iPhone dock.

Aside from listening to your favorite tunes, the Kenwood AS-iP70 also allows you to upload photos from an SD card and view them as you please. This Kenwood iPod dock with digital photo frame costs around $277 and will be available in Japanese stores by April, 2010.
