Hi everyone Got myself a Nikon D3100, know a little on basic photography techniques but want to brush up on my knowledge by enrolling myself to a photography class and make full use of the new camera. Anyone knows a reputed place?

Yep after jailbreaking(mine is) the possibilities are endless. I even have an app which enables me to download all PAID apps for free. I am not much of an expert on the software thingys, just that i have a very good contact in Colombo who is quite an expert in fixing iphone related problems and software upgrades. PM if you require the contact details.

I am using the Iphone 4, was using the 3gs and upgraded to the 4. Well, the famous signal issue- YES, its evident, when you have your palm over the left hand bottom corner the signal bars come down BUT not fully. It has not been a problem for me so far and not experienced any dropped calls at all. In the first place i never was an Apple fan untill i got the 3gs as a gift, and just fell in love with it. I guess thats why apple products are so populat, it just teases you to use it and once you do, you are hooked on to it. 3gs was a great phone but battery was bad. Iphone 4- leave aside the signal issue, its another great phone. There is no other phone which comes close to the touch interface. As for telephony and messaging- never had an issue(so far). Browsing, simply great, except for the fact that it doesnt support flash sites. Best part- the apps- its such an entertaining phone and once you load your favourite apps- especially games it just takes the phone to another level. Battery too is much better than the 3gs. Would i recomend you to buy one??? Yes i would. Good luck!

After doing a fair bit of research on budget DSLR and coupled with the fact my cousin from Canada asked me what i wanted from there I told her to bring me a Sony Alpha A230. She has got it from there for CAN$470, which works to roughly Rs 50 000. I did not want to go for a high end model as i am just trying to upgrade from the point and shoot user to a slightly advanced level!. Yes the Sony A230 has its drawbacks like no live view and certain issues with the grip being too small. But overall reviews stated its an ideal DSLR for beginners. Rebel XS was in mind but did not want to tax my cousin too much as she is getting me this as a gift!. Have not checked the local prices though.

Hi guys what are the DSLR prices currently after the tax cut? I am not too familair with the latest models, looking at a decent not so exensive model only. Any one can give me an idea of few models and price range? and where to get? Thanks

Read this on Sunday Times yesterday. Thought of sharing with you guys. feel sorry for the guys who bought these vehicles Frustrated owners of 400 unregistered vehicles will file action in court Drivers say they are being constantly hauled up by the Police for using unauthorised cars More than 400 vehicle owners are filing action in the Supreme Court against the Registrar of Motor Vehicles (RMV) for refusing to register their cars. They say their fundamental rights have been violated. The vehicle owners say they bought their vehicles from a Board of Investment-approved company that assembles cars with imported second-hand vehicle parts. The assembling is done in a factory in Minuwangoda. The owners, who claim they are legally entitled to vehicle registration, say they are being repeatedly penalised by the Police for driving unregistered vehicles. They say the police have detained their vehicles, seized their driving licences, and even initiated court action against some of them. The owners say the fundamental rights case application will cite the Board of Investment chairman, the Secretary to the Ministry of Finance, the Secretary to the Ministry of Transport, the head of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, the Director General of Customs, the Inspector General of Police, and the owner of the company that sells the vehicles. Anthony Luke, owner of one of the unregistered cars, told the Sunday Times that he has been desperately trying to register his vehicle, without success, and that his driving licence was taken by the Police and has not yet been returned. According to the Motor Traffic Act, which was amended in 2009, vehicles that were assembled with imported parts before the amendments were passed are legally entitled to registration. In a related development, the Police produced some of the unregistered vehicles in court, although the courts had not charged the persons with any offences. Meanwhile, Motor Traffic Commissioner B. D. L. Dharmapriya told the Sunday Times that the vehicle registrations have been held up because of a Supreme Court ruling that the government will have to take a policy decision in the matter. “Until such time, we cannot register any of these vehicles,” he said. The Supreme Court gave a ruling in early 2008, but the government has taken no action so far. Harsha de Silva, owner of the private company that sells the assembled cars, told the Sunday Times that most of the vehicle owners have informed him about their plight, and that he is endeavouring to speak to the government and resolve the matter.

saw on dailymirror, quite a smash that is. Would you mind forwarding it to [email protected] please?

Guess i got carried away!, my bad, will do!

Well, i am waiting for the 4 english number plates..can see some creative plates like starting with FXXX and DXXX

How is the 20% measured? how will they measure it? do they have some meter or something?

Hello Everyone All of us tend to use the high beam occasionaly during night driving when our "so well lit" roads do not emmit sufficient light during nights, there used to be driver ettiqute when doing so. You dip your lights when there is oncoming traffic, i practice this always as its the correct thing to do in terms of safety for other drivers. But there are idiots who dont care a damn about others and just drive on with the high beam on. Most culprits are bus, Lorry and Van drivers. Yet you find the Montero and prado dudes also doing this and with the xenon lights in most new vehicles it litteraly blinds you. How many of you all dip your lights when there is oncoming traffic? or is your lights eternally on the high beam position? When cops fine for tints and ?"reckless" driving i guess they should start to fine these offenders too. Just my opinion!

ShanX- There is a car accesory shop near my office(opposite empire residencies) where i got the tint done, so just took it to him last evening and he just ripped it out. Left no marks. The owner was saying last evening around 20 cars came over to remove the front tints.

severe checking around colombo for the tints. Just removed the tints on both my front windows..damn hot to drive around without them and AC needs to be in full blast. I just didnt want to argue with the cops and also go through the hassle of going to the god forsaken cop shed to collect my license, just saving all the hassle. Feel kinda exposed without the tints..and vulnarable too if you are driving around with someone you wouldnt want others to see...

Nowadays you dont need to take a companion with you to pay the fine, you could do it yourself, even for Drinking and driving.

For the benefit of others who wish to replace their faded driving licence, i finally managed to find some time and got mine last week. However they have now stopped issuing the old type driving licence and only issue the new one with the chip. As all have commented on the service, i found the staff at RMV to be extremely professional and friendly from the security gaurd at the front gate. The same day service is conveninet but be prepared to allocate a whole day for this purpose, the day i went was extremely crowded and managed to get into the que just before the alloted slots for the day closed(around 150 i think).

Pradfred, since the New Driving license mentions a blood type do we need to take a certified document from a lab or hospital mentioning the blood type? Plan to get this done this week.

Saw a Dark blue Toyota Prius Second generation model (with the rear clear lights) opposite staples street cargills yesterday. Is Toyota Lanka bringing these down now? What tax bracket do these fall in? Speaking on Prius, Toyota seems to be having a lot of headaches with the runaway Prius in US in addition to their sticky pedal issue! Cheers

There were archery lessons advertised on hitad some time ago. Was interested at that time and took a copy of that paper but accidently threw it away. Wanted to learn something new for a change! and Yes, BMICH front lawn has archery lessons.

Great tips, heading there next month on office work and looking forward to it.

car sales are swarmed with the smart cabs, yet can anyone tell how comfortable the rear seats are, looked a bit cramped and upright..
