			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s the solution to WinRar error &#8220;<strong>Packed data CRC failed</strong>&#8220;, to make your downloaded movie play, follow these steps:</p>
<p>1. Click on file ending with &#8220;..part1.rar&#8221; with right mouse button, and choose <strong>&#8220;Extract file&#8230;&#8221;</strong></p>

<p><img src="http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/3164/winrarerror0bq4.jpg" alt="winrar settings" /></p>
<p>3. Click &#8220;OK&#8221; and let the WinRar extract, durin extraction <strong>ingore the error messages</strong>, <strong>but don&#8217;t close them</strong> or WinRar after extracting is finished:<br />
<img src="http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/7025/winrarerror1iu0.jpg" alt="winrar error messages" /></p>
<p>4. Leave error messages and WinRar <strong>open while watching the movie</strong>!</p>
<p>5. Go and donate me for some beer, as i saved your ass from not watching another nice download ;)</p>
<p>This way i was able to watch DVD copy extracted from broken rar files. If i closed the winrar or error message before watching, the movie didn&#8217;t play. And i use VLC player for watching movies, the Windows Media Player had problems with this avi file.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Review of Canon Ixus 70</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Digital_IXUS">Canon Ixus</a> 70 for about year now, and here is a quick look at my experience, the good and the bad about this digital camera. It&#8217;s model name in US and some other countries is also Canon PowerShot SD1000.</p>
<h2>The good about Ixus 70</h2>
<p>Has some problems, but you can live with them. The quality of images is good, all depends on settings you tune your camera, and you have a lot of settings to tune, if needed. It&#8217;s small, and tough enough - i keep it in my pocket every day, don&#8217;t feel the weight, and have dropped it multiple times in sand or pavement, nothing broken.</p>
<h2>Cool features of Ixus 70</h2>
<p>- long 15sec shutter time for taking beautiful and interesting night shots (my example: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/paldies/2431521641/in/set-72157604639056581/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/paldies/2431521641/in/set-72157604639056581/</a> ),<br />
- time lapse function, this one is amazing (my example: <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/1037312">http://www.vimeo.com/1037312</a> ),<br />
- super video quality for small cam like this (my example: <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/991601">http://www.vimeo.com/991601</a> ),<br />
- the battery is really good, i charge it whenever i want, not waiting until it dies, and this has not even reflected on its quality, still holding long and enough,<br />
- and yeah, you can customize this camera a lot - turn off annoying sounds, turn off automatics, shoot for HDR, etc.</p>
<h2>The dark sides of Ixus 70</h2>
<p>Two usability flaws - the power off button too close to shutter button. There have been times when instead of taking picture in rush i click the power off. Once this might ruin a nice one in a life time shot.. </p>
<p>Second embarrassing flaw - the flash takes 5 seconds to power up. Forget quick shot in dark room, people will have to wait 5 seconds asking have you done the shot? And also if you have forgotten to switch off the flash, and there&#8217;s happening something right now - forget it, you&#8217;ll have to wait those 5 sec while camera loads its flash, by the time your sensational shot will have walked/ended already.</p>
<p>If you buy this camera, look for a really low price, it&#8217;s now almost two years old model, still a good one, but not worth to pay more than 200 USD.</p>
<p>And better keep it in it&#8217;s bag, because from keeping it in my pockets it has gotten dust into its optics, can&#8217;t wipe them off, they&#8217;re from inside, must bring to repair someday..</p>
<p>You can find <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/read_opinion_text.asp?prodkey=canon_sd1000&#038;opinion=40387">this review also at dpreview.com</a> site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I did <strong>WordPress 2.5 installation</strong> and saved <strong>screenshots with step-by-step instructions</strong>. In fact, there&#8217;s only two steps you have to take when you install WordPress. Here you go:<br />
<em>(at this point i assume you have <a href="http://wordpress.org/download/">downloaded WordPress 2.5</a>, <a href="http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm">unzipped</a> on your computer and uploaded its folder into your <a href="http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=superxm" title="don't have hosting? try Hostgator!">hosting FTP</a> account)</em></p>
<p><strong>Start with this:</strong><br />
Just open in your web browser the address of your blog directory ( i.e. www.mysite.com or www.mysite.com/blog/ ), and you will be automatically redirected to installation link and see a window like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/9970/wp25jr8.jpg" alt="WordPress" border="1" /></p>
<p><strong>Now do this:</strong><br />
1) Fill the required &#8220;Blog title&#8221; with the title (name) you want to give to your blog or site (for example &#8220;Joe&#8217;s blog&#8221;).</p>
<p>2) Next fill the required &#8220;Your e-mail&#8221; with an active e-mail, that is where you will receive your admin password, and this address will be used later to recover your password, in case you&#8217;ve lost it (and you will, trust me).</p>
<p>3) Next, tick the box to allow your blog (site) to report itself to Google and alike services - you want to become a famous blogger, don&#8217;t you? ;) Or, if you wish to write your suicidal emo notes and not let anybody know about it, choose not to tick this box.</p>
<p>4) Now you click &#8220;Install WordPress&#8221; and that&#8217;s it, in no time you get this screen with your user name (admin) and password that was randomly generated. <strong>Write it down</strong>, once logged in, you will be able to change it to a more safer one, like &#8220;qwerty&#8221; or &#8220;admin12&#8243; 8)</p>
<p><img src="http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/2395/wp25ast4.jpg" alt="WordPress" border="1" /></p>
<p>There you go, just copy your brand new password and click on &#8220;Log in&#8221; thingee. Voila, you&#8217;re now a l33t blogger with your own blog platform! ;)</p>
<h3>Leave a comment if this worked for you or you have some trouble!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FI73MA/?tag=freelancewebs-20">Kindle from Amazon</a> is a wireless reading device, or in other words it&#8217;s an electronic pager or book. But, it&#8217;s not just a book, it&#8217;s a device that lets you store hundreds of books (memory expandable with SD cards), it lets you search and buy books online from Amazon via its wireless connection (it is not a Wi-Fi, but a GSM connection, no hotspots needed!), and also keeps up to date with your subscriptions to newspapers or blogs. I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s almost perfect device. The only thing i don&#8217;t like is the price - $399.00</p>
