Well said gone_wishin. That will work with most phones, with slight differentiations depending on the model of the phone. With some phones the manufacturer gives you a USB cable. You can transfer photos by connecting one end of the USB cable to the computer and another end to the phone. Then it's a matter of 'drag and drop' onto the computer. Hope it all works out for you.

which model is your nokia phone?

I'm also hoping for a Dogs -Storm GF. Hopefully both teams will have all their stars back for that game.

The Australian dollar opened strongly today after climbing during overnight trade and holding its ground above 88 US cents to post an 18-year high.

Monster from the deep washes up http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/monste...3833567895.html A giant squid washed up on the shores of Tasmania has scientists in a frenzy. Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery senior curator of invertebrate zoology, Genefor Walker-Smith, is currently heading to Ocean Beach, near Strahan, with a team of scientific experts. They will take samples from the massive creature, which has been identified by Tasmania Parks and Wildlife as giant squid Architeuthis. The officers have moved the remains above the high water mark to preserve it before being analysed. The hood of the squid is about two metres long and the body a couple of metres long. A TPWS spokesman said the tentacles have been badly mangled so their length could not be measured. Strahan senior ranger Chris Arthur said it is the first time that a giant squid has washed up on the beaches of the west coast, although the giant squid is known to be a food source for sperm whales, which have frequently stranded on the coast. A member of the public made the discovery last night.

http://www.rleague.com/db/article.php?id=28510 Bulldogs winger Hazem El Masri will make his State of Origin debut next Wednesday night after out of form centre Jamie Lyon withdrew due to injury. El Masri has been on the edge of selection since 1999 and his debut has been long overdue after outstanding performances for the Bulldogs spanning over 250 first grade appearances. Lyon today succumbed to a hamstring injury with El Masri's superior goal kicking and consistency getting him the nod ahead of his rivals including Parramatta's Eric Grothe Jnr. El Masri's State of Origin debut comes five years after making his Test debut. El Masri who hails from the now defunct Enfield Federals club is just the 3rd Canterbury-Bankstown Junior to play State of Origin when at the Bulldogs following in the footsteps of Terry Lamb (1984 - was at Wests when debuted for NSW in 1981) and Steve Folkes (1986). The Bulldogs will be without El Masri's services for Monday's important clash against the Roosters. Brent Sherwin will take over the goal kicking duties in El Masri's absence and his replacement in the side will be confirmed later. Congratulations to Hazem El Masri on deserved selection in the NSW State of Origin side and his selection couldn't have happened to a finer ambassador and footballer.

http://au.biz.yahoo.com/070628/33/1alg0.html The United States added farm-raised fish and shrimp to a growing list of Chinese products deemed unsafe for US consumers, regulators said Thursday. The US Food and Drug Administration said it would block the import of farmed Chinese seafood until importers could prove the shipments were free of unsafe contaminants. The move comes just days after lawmakers urged a recall of up to 450,000 Chinese tires because of safety defects and weeks after thousands of cats and dogs died because of tainted Chinese pet food. Dangerous toys, fake drugs, toxin-coated cosmetics, illicit pesticide-laden mushrooms, errant fireworks, tainted toothpaste and other Chinese products have led to recalls and bans and potentially more stringent import and food safety laws. "I think we have reached a point unfortunately where 'made in China' is now a warning label in the United States," Democratic Senator Richard Durbin, a top campaigner in the US Congress for tighter food safety laws, said recently. The actions come amid growing protests over the massive US trade deficit with China, which stood at 19.3 billion dollars in April and 232.5 billion in 2006. Thursday's broad import control was imposed after regulators repeatedly found seafood shipments contaminated with antimicrobial agents that are not approved for use in the United States, the FDA said. It affects all farm-raised catfish, basa, shrimp, dace (related to carp), and eel from China. There have been no reports of illnesses to date and exporters will be able to seek exemptions if they prove they have protected their fish from contamination, the FDA said. "We're taking this strong step because of current and continuing evidence that certain Chinese aquaculture products imported into the United States contain illegal substances that are not permitted in seafood sold in the United States," David Acheson, the FDA's assistant commissioner for food protection, said in a statement. "We will accept entries of these products from Chinese firms that demonstrate compliance with our requirements and safety standards." The levels of the drug residues found in the seafood are very low, most often at or near the minimum level of detection, the FDA said. It has not issued a recall of fish already admitted into the country but said it was "concerned about long term exposure as well as the possible development of antibiotic resistance." One of the banned agents, fluoroquinolones, is approved for use in China. The FDA said its use "may increase antibiotic resistance to this critically important class of antibiotics." Two other contaminants, the antimicrobials nitrofuran and malachite green, have been shown to be carcinogenic with long-term exposure in lab animals and also banned in China. China is the largest producer of seafood from aquaculture in the world, accounting for 70 percent of the total production and 55 percent of the total value of farmed seafood exported around the world. China is currently the third largest exporter of seafood to the United States, which imports about 80 percent of its seafood.

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21969214-23109,00.html HOLLYWOOD gave us all-singing, all-dancing penguins, and surfing penguins, but leave it to evolution to give us giant, prehistoric underwater-fishing penguins from Peru. In a case of fact being stranger than fiction, or at least animation, paleontologists have discovered the fossilised remains of a fearsome new species of penguin that lived on the southern coast of Peru about 36 million years ago, according to a study released today. The ancient bird, Icadyptes salasi, stood 1.5m tall and had a pointed 18cm beak that it probably used to underwater its prey. The now-extinct penguin species is one of the largest ever reported and was recovered from the coastal desert of Peru. Paleontologists also discovered the skull and partial skeleton of a second extinct penguin species, called Perudyptes devriesi, in the same region. That penguin lived about 42 million years ago and was comparable in size to the modern King Penguin, 0.75m to 0.9m, which makes its home on sub-Antarctic island groups, including the Falkland Islands. The penguin fossils are among the most complete ever recovered and challenge long-held assumptions about the timing and patterns of penguin evolution and dispersal. Paleontologists and students of the penguin lineage had assumed penguins evolved in colder climates in the Antarctic and in New Zealand and had only moved to lower latitudes closer to the equator about 10 million years ago – long after significant global cooling about 34 million years ago. “We tend to think of penguins as being cold-adapted species, even the small penguins in equatorial regions today,” said Julia Clarke, a paleontologist and assistant professor of marine, earth and atmospheric sciences at North Carolina State University, in Raleigh. “But the new fossils date back to one of the warmest periods in 65 million years of earth's history. The evidence indicates that penguins reached low latitude regions more than 30 million years prior to our previous estimates.” What's more, paleontologists generally assume that species moving from cold to warm climates become smaller as the animals do not need to conserve heat. It's all the more surprising, then, to find giant penguin fossils close to the earth's equator, especially during the waning days of a greenhouse earth, the authors of the study noted. The paper appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Hopefully the Blues will get up tonight. Looking forward to a good show.

I get that feeling too. Especially when a large group of people gather behind you to watch. It's also bad when people walk past and offer stupid comments.

Good luck take lots of photos.

Hi all, Just got asked by a friend about the legality of getting a net to gather bait in Sydney. I've told him I thought it is illegal but i'm not 100% sure. Thought I'll check it with you guys. Any help would be great. Thanks

did it take you long to clean those? i find it quite hard to clean leatherjackets.

same here, got work. Good luck.

Doctor dies after eating blowfish By Andrea Hayward May 29, 2007 11:32am A SHIP'S doctor has died in Western Australia after eating blowfish, a delicacy that can prove fatal if not prepared properly. Authorities were called to an iron ore ship off Dampier early on Saturday after a 43-year-old Chinese man suffered paralysis and his breathing became laboured. "We did a co-ordinated rescue effort through Australian Search and Rescue," said Acting Sergeant Chris Hinch. "Initially they said it was food poisoning from eating fish and we went out on a boat with two nurses who started CPR on the ship and they did CPR on the doctor all the way back," he said. The doctor died in a Karratha hospital on Sunday morning, while two other crew members were also treated, police said. Sgt Hinch said police learned through an interpreter that the ship's doctor had shared the blowfish with another crew member on Friday night. "The other person who had eaten the fish fell ill and made himself vomit," he said. "There was another gentleman who did CPR on the doctor and fell ill because the doctor had vomited while he was giving him CPR. "We bought him to shore as a precautionary measure." Blowfish contain deadly poison in their organs and in Japan, where they are considered a particular delicacy, only licensed cooks with special kills are allowed to prepare them. "Apparently it is a delicacy and there are bars you can go to," Sgt Hinch said. "They call it fugu and you have to sign an indemnity to say the chef or owners are not at fault if you fall ill," he said.

Healthy looking fish. Where abouts is the spot. The buildings in the background seems familiar.

Better luck for Game 2 and 3.

YFT must have some kind of immune system for the poison.

They are poisonous, not many predators (if any at all) will eat them, therefore there are so many of them. I know Japanese people eat them but they prepare it in such a way that they cut out all the poisonous bit so they are safe to eat.

Good on ya. Looks like your persistence has paid off. Top effort.

it does sound surprising. i've only caught bream mullet carp and eel on bread. the spot where i go there are bass there but they havent taken any of my bread so far. i will persist with it and hopefully they will bite one day.

It reminds me of the pillar shaped aquarium at star city casino.

There is a koi show on this sunday at the fairfield show ground for anyone who is interested.
