This PSP 2000 Console – Piano Black turned out to be more fun than I thought it would be.

I own a Nintendo DS lite and enjoy it tremendously. Thought I would like to see what a different experience the PSP would provide given the additional features like lite internet browing, internet radio, skype, etc.

The browsing is a tad challenging and is a very lite form. It would be nice to have some sort of slide out keypad to type with. The internet radio works nicely.

I was more surprised at how much fun the Daxter game was! I consider myself a ‘lite’ gamer so I was surprised that I found the game fun.

If you are trying to choose between the Nintendo DS and the PSP, I still rate the DS higher for game choices which are more appealing to a wider audience, not just serious gamers. However, I am still pleased with the PSP 2000 Console. I will be looking for more games in the Daxter vein.

My hubby has been a fan and user of  Olympus Digital Camera while I’ve been a fan and user of Canon’s Digital Elph cameras since I got my first one (S110).

I’ve upgraded a couple of times, first to an S500 then to an SD450 and I was looking forward to the SD1000; more megapixels, higher ISO, and the old retro look. I didn’t even consider any Sony Digital Cameras recommended by my friends.

I have this Canon Digital Camera for about 3 weeks now and am really happy with this little one. It fits even in tight jeans pockets, and is quick to take pictures.

I took about 300 shots so far and they are mostly great quality, some indoor pictures without the flash are a bit blurry, if you don’t hold it steady.

The sound for this digital camera is great. It even has a speaker when you play the video for review.

If you own an Epson printer then original Epson Color Multi-pack Ink Cartridges (TO60520) are the only ones to use.

If you use an off brand it can affect how the printer receives the information via the ink tank. I have ruined an Epson printer from using generic cartridges and will never do that again! For value Amazon is a great place to buy your Ink Cartridges.

Please also note that the interactive software that comes with your printer will tell you to replace the Ink Cartridges long before you need to. Wait until the printer won’t print anymore, then replace the cartridge. You’ll get many more prints from each cartridge this way.

Best Price – $13.96 or Buy New $33.24

There are time-tested steps you’d have to take if you’re serious about getting cheaper life insurance. Here are a few tips for getting cheaper life insurance:

1. Compare Life Insurance Quotes. Get and compare life insurance quotes from many different insurers and you’ll be in a better position to save considerably.

You can save much by visiting more than three quotes sites. This will ensure you do not miss out better quotes not carried by the other sites.

2. Choose the Right Riders. Sometimes riders will help you save if you know the right ones to choose. With a rider, you can add more coverage to your policy by adding an extension to your policy terms.

3. Pursue a Healthy Routine. You will pay a cheaper life insurance rate if you pursue a healthy routine. For example, you will do well to stick with the specified diet for you if you desire a healthy life and more affordable life insurance premiums.

4. Quit Drinking. Quit drinking if you want affordable life insurance rates. Many diseases can be traced to drinking. Taking alcoholic beverages makes you a bad risk and therefore increases your life insurance rates.

5. Pay Your Premiums Yearly. It is true that paying your premiums monthly will attract higher rates. Yes, monthly payments might be convenient but it’s also much more expensive.

Splashing the cash isn’t the only way celebrities get to grips with money. All that spending can sometimes lead to severe debt, which for many of us is a lot closer to home than the $10m diamond necklaces and diamond-encrusted mobile phones we read about in the papers.

Mike Tyson for example reportedly blew hundreds of millions of dollars on tigers, over 100 different cars and extravagant jewellery. But at his lowest point he owed creditors $27 million.

And Kim Basinger declared herself bankrupt in 1993 after a jury ruled she owed producers $8.1 million for backing out of a role.

Even our own Sarah Ferguson isn’t immune. The Duchess of York showed that blue blood just isn’t enough to keep in the black – in 2002 she reportedly had over $6 million in debt to repay.

Most people that create web sites do not have the money or the time to host the websites on their web servers themselves. They will have to get a web hosting company to host their web sites. Here are a few tips for picking the best web hosting company.

1. Technical Support. It is important to find a website hosting company that provides excellent technical support – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week service. Finding a cheap website hosting company that can only help you once a week is out of the question. You want a prompt and accurate response to your questions every time you need help.

2. Space. If creating a large web site, or looking to expand a lot in the near future is your plan, then you need more space.

3. Speed. Web users do no have patience with slow-loading websites, so it is crucial for your site to be accessed at a fast speed for your visitors.

4. Database Access. Check if the web hosting company offers the ability to use a MySQL or SQL Server database to store information or authenticate against. Being able to use this database helps make your web site more secure.

5. Downtime. You can not make money if your web site is down most of the time. If your visitors can not access it on a consistent basis, you will lose subscribers, visitors, and potential buyers.

6. Price. You know, “you get what you pay for”. So don’t simply look for the lowest price for web hosting services! You pay little amounts, you get a lot less then you really need to run your site.

If Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want it, they could get a whopping 10 million dollars for pictures of their baby or babies when the actress gives birth, says a magazine editor. Leading magazines have started dishing out the cash in millions for the first pictures of celebs’ babies.

People paid Christina Aguilera a reported 1.5 million dollars for pics of her newborn son Max, and shelved out a whopping 6 million dollars for those of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s new twins, Max and Emme.

It’s become big business now. It’s outrageous, they’ve gotten very sophisticated. The rights are bought up now even before the celeb enters the hospital. They hire extra security so it’s impossible to obtain a photo illegally. The people who would command the highest price would be Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt.

If J.Lo really did get $6 million, then Angelina can now command 8 million USD. At this point no one could command more money than Brangelina.

The “credit crunch” which is now global is impacting a lot of people. In the U.S. it can clearly be seen in rapidly falling home values, as much as 19% of home value in some major markets, a tightening of the ability for people to get mortgages and a growing desert of unsecured credit opportunities.

In the U.K., the UK consumers have embraced consumer debt with vigor and gusto and are nearly twice as indebted as the rest of Europe. There are more and more people facing up to major financial difficulties.

When people find that they can no longer keep up with their debt repayments one possible solution is an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA). IVA is an alternative to bankruptcy.

The advantage of an IVA for the debtors is that they are able to protect their assets, i.e. their homes. The advantage for the creditors is that they are often able to recoup more of the debt than they would be able to if the debtor were to declare bankruptcy, or, simply fail to pay.

Debtors entering into an IVA have their debts consolidated into a single regular monthly repayment and clear their debts in a fixed period of time Typically repayments will be made for a period of five years however there is a degree of flexibility in this.

At the end of the IVA any remaining unpaid debt is written off leaving the individual free of debt. With an IVA it is possible that as much as two thirds of the original debt will be written off.

Oprah isn’t the only star giving big these days. Reports were released stating that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie gave away over $8 million dollars in the year 2006.

Angelina Pitt is an ambassador for the United Nations and heads a bunch of different charities for children, women and the poor. Brad Pitt has been a giver to things in the US, from his Green Initiative to rebuild New Orleans to the Red Cross.

Both use their celebrity status to raise awareness for deserving causes.For example, the millions of dollars that the couple were paid for their photos of Shiloh, after her birthday in 2006 were given away. The hospital where Shiloh was born was given hundreds of thousands of dollars so they could buy medical equipment and stay state of the art with their facilities.

With the recent price tag for exclusive baby photos going up towards $6 million (Jennifer Lopez), how much do you think this baby – from the pregnancy they won’t confirm but is obvious – will fetch? Heck, if Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony can get a cool $6 million, I bet Brangelina can get at least $8.

The breakdown of their charity is about equal. Angelina gave away $4.1 million while Brad spent $4.4 million. There aren’t too many Hollywood hotties can say they give that much money away! Kudos to Brangelina for actually doing something worthwhile and continuing to do so!
