conserve battery iphone



Hurricane Sandy has touched down on the East Coast leaving power outages in its path. That means, for some people, battery life on a smartphone is even more of a precious commodity than it was before. Here, we outline some basic battery saving tips that will not only help during Hurricane Sandy, but also during power outages caused in other ways.

In this day and age, a smartphone is an important tool to have when facing an emergency, especially one like Hurricane Sandy where traveling and communicating can be extremely difficult. Sadly, we’re not in an age where our smartphones have unlimited battery life and that means that conserving and making that battery last is essential when dire times occur. And for those that are without power in New York and elsewhere, saving battery life becomes even more important.

Fortunately, there are some simple tips that iPhone and Android smartphone (and probably Windows Phone users as well) can follow in order to make sure their phone is ready when you need it most.

Here are ten things to do if you need to conserve battery life if Hurricane Sandy or something else has knocked out your power and you have no way of charging your smartphone.

Shut Off 4G LTE
If you own an iPhone 5 or an Android phone that connects to a 4G LTE network, turn 4G LTE data off. 4G LTE is a battery hog and by turning it off, you will save an immense amount of battery life.



On the iPhone 5, simply head into General in Settings, tap Cellular and toggle Enable LTE to Off.

On Android, head into Settings, tap More… under Wireless & Networks, tap Mobile networks, tap Network Mode and select the option that does not contain LTE.



You will no longer have access to high-speed data but you will see a significant boost in battery life if you toggled off 4G LTE and use an HSPA+ 4G network or CDMA network  instead,

Turn Off Cellular Data
If you aren’t using data on your phone, or are using it sparingly, you can turn off Cellular Data altogether which, like turning off 4G LTE, should help to keep battery drain at a minimum.



On the iPhone, head into General in Settings, tap Cellular and toggle Cellular Data to Off.

On Android, head into Settings, tap More… under Wireless & Networks, tap Mobile networks, and make sure Data enabled is not checked.

This will limit data to Wi-Fi if there is a Wi-Fi connection available. If no Wi-Fi connection is available, there simply will be no access to the web, email or notifications. It’s a bit of a price to pay, but it will ensure quality battery life.

Minimize Screen Brightness
The brightness of the screen can be, believe it or not, a major drain on a smartphone’s battery. Just by minimizing the brightness of the screen, you’ll see a significant increase in battery life.



On iPhone, head into General in Settings, go to Brightness and Wallpaper, and adjust the brightness of the iPhone screen accordingly. I have mine set to about the 15-20% level and it has worked well for me.

On Android, go to Settings, tap Display under the Device category, go to Brightness, and adjust brightness accordingly.

This is a small price to pay for ample battery life and we recommend turning screen brightness down in general to help conserve battery.

Turn Off Wi-Fi
By turning off Wi-Fi when you’re not in a familiar area with a known Wi-Fi connection, you can conserve a bit of battery life. Best of all, it’s extremely easy to turn back on should you need to.

On iPhone, go into General, tap Wi-Fi, and toggle Wi-Fi to Off.

Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System 0.68 Fl Oz

I know you are wondering if a $28 item can compare at all to something that cost nearly ten times the price. The answer is YES! I have the Clarisonic Pro - which is the top of the line for their model, so before you spend the money on both, I'll do a side by side comparison for you. Mind you, I am VERY happy with my Clairsonic. Even knowing that this I am happy I made the purchase for both of them, since they are fairly different. Here's why:

Size: The Olay Pro-X is about half the size of the Clarisonic. This is actually better in many ways. It is easier to hold, lightweight, it fits in my shower caddy easily without dropping, you can travel with it very easily. I think this is my favorite part about the differences. It also makes the brush head much smaller, which has a different effect. Of course, the motor is at least half the size as well, and this effects how this feels. I can't actually say it is better or worse than the Clarisonic, it's just different. It is like getting a Sweedish massage (Olay) as opposed to a deep tissue massage (Clarisonic).

Cleansing Products: The Olay cleansing formula has tiny granules and is exfoliating. The Clarisonic cleansers are gels and the specifically say that you cannot use exfoliating cleansers with granules on theirs - most likely because the motor is stronger and it will scratch your skin. I really liked the way my skin felt after using the Olay product. I felt sparkling clean and my skin was shining.

Versatility: This is where I love my Clarisonic more. Since I bought the pro, I can use it on my body, and have different size brush heads and change the timing. Is it worth 10x more the price? Not necessarily. The Olay Pro-X has two speeds, you don't really need more than that. But I do love having the option of using the full body brush on the Clarisonic. Also, there is slightly more control with the Clarisonic since it is sturdier, the ProX does slide a bit, though not excessively so. You can still maintain some control with the Por-X though not as much.

Charging: The Pro-X uses two double-A batteries that it comes with. It was a bear to take the battery case off, but once I did it was fine, and it doesn't need recharging that often. I use the best batteries in the world, eneloopSanyo Eneloop 8 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries and I'm good to go for several weeks. The Clarisonic has a charging holder that you plug into the wall, you don't need to change the batteries, but you do need to find a place in your home to park it for an hour or so every week. I prefer having the double A rechargeable option of the Olay. It also makes it so much easier to travel with.

Please note: It is not that easy to figure out how to install the batteries, and there are no instructions. You might not want to pull open the wrong part of your product for fear of breaking it. I had to call the company to figure it out, and I've had a couple of people email me to ask me, so here goes: Hold the product with your right hand by the top/sides of the handle with the brush head facing down. Keep holding firmly with your right hand, while with your left you pull the handle away from you. The top part of the handle comes off to load the batteries.

The bottom line: I think the Olay Pro-X is a steal. If you are on the fence about which to buy this or the Clarisonic, and you only need it for your face and not your body, you will probably be better off saving your money and going with this! Personally, I am glad I have both. This is definitely worth the investment!

External Hard Drive Storage


I'm a computer repair technician, and one issue I have all the time with my customers is, the famous, 'a virus hijacked my computer and those precious pictures are inside'. Yeah, the prom, the honeymoon, or the newborn pictures are usually held without ransom. Most of the time we are dealing with malware of some sort that affects the Windows operating system files, but leaves the data intact. So, before I repair the computer, I rescue the pictures, and any other file they might value. However, not all repair technicians do this, most allege that the files are corrupted, which might be the case, but usually it really means they are too busy to rescue anything, don't know how to do it, or will not do it unless paid big cash.

For one own's sakes, the best thing to do is backing up the data before the computer gets infected, or the hard drive fails. For pictures I recommend backing up the original files into data discs, but for faster everyday files backups (music, movies, games, software etc.) is better to use an external hard drive.

The Western Digital My Passport 2 TB is an awesome way to carry large amounts of data in a tiny container, that is always available and secure. I love its dimensions, both physically and in bytes.

Also, the truly fast data transfers done with the USB 3.0 interface save time every day. Speaking of the USB connector, another great feature is that only requires a single USB port for power, while many external hard drives and enclosures, with form factor 2.5", require two USB ports.

This drive is great not only to keep multimedia files, but also for storing documents in digital form, because it saves space. Besides, in case of an emergency it's faster to grab it then a folder. I've been doing backups using both hard drives and discs, and it has been of great help throughout the years. For example, the last time I moved, the new school district wanted my daughter first vaccines' records. I knew I have the original card somewhere in a box, but I needed it fast. Then I remembered I scanned the card years ago, and that print-scanned image, which was storage in my daughter's digital folder, inside my external hard drive, saved me hours of search and quickened her registering process at the new school.

About the WD SmartWare software offered by the manufacturer, I hesitated before going for it, because in the past WD back up software didn't work well for me. However, when one is dealing with such a big amount of data, doing it manually is a pain, and the alternative of using the backup and restore features included in Microsoft Windows 7, is something I would only do for a complete system image, not for the everyday backup. So, I installed the WD SmartWare software and so far, it's performing well, it does require time and attention to learn its functionality though. If you decide not to use the WD SmartWare, you can still use the hard drive right out of the box, like any other external hard drive.

Besides reading the user's manual, I strongly suggest that before plugging in the drive into your computer, you go to the Western Digital My Passport's support page, and read how to use it.

Because there are a few details to know before starting backing up your data. Among these topics, How to install WD SmartWare from the external drives, How to create a category backup using WD SmartWare, How to backup specific files and folders using WD SmartWare, How to retrieve a backup using WD SmartWare, Setting up security to lock or unlock a WD external drive with WD SmartWare, (videos are provided in some of these), and How to partition and format a WD drive on Windows (7, Vista, XP) and Mac OSX etc., etc.

I can't post links here, but one can do a search for WD Support / Downloads / My Passport and will find the page where a variety of software that works with the Western Digital My Passport 2 TB, can be downloaded for free.

However, the most important fact of reading Western Digital's support information for this drive, is to learn how to use it 'before' entrusting your valuable data to it. Specially, if you choose to install the WD SmartWare software.

There are very important steps everybody should know while setting up these drives, so it's clearly stated on the Western Digital's support pages.

For example, while installing the software, it will ask if you want to apply any security (password & encryption) to the drive. Before setting up the password you must check an, I understand box, certifying that you understood that if you forget the password, the data is unrecoverable. I repeat, and excuse the capitals, but this is crucial, IF YOU FORGET THE PASSWORD, THE DATA IS UNRECOVERABLE.

Since there is no way to retrieve your password if you forget it, please write that password in a secure available location. If you want, it's possible to change your security settings, remove security or/and change the password, but in order to do either, you still need the original password entered the first time.

If you forget your password, you will not be able to access the data storage in the hard drive, but you can continue to use the drive again if you format it. Of course, the process of reformatting the hard drive will erase all the data inside the unit, and remove the password.

I highly recommend the Western Digital My Passport 2 TB external hard drive.

I do have an warning though, the only proven and trusted way to preserve important files is to burn them into data discs (CD/DVD/Blu-rays). Because hard drives have a limited lifespan, and will fail sooner or later, usually without any warning signs. An external hard drive is very convenient to use, but the stuff that cannot be easily replaced, should always first be backed up on discs. Trust me, it will give you peace of mind. Also you can have two different hard drives with the same information, like I do. If you really don't want to keep discs around anymore.

How To Master Your Kitchen



In case I haven't mentioned it before, it is my mom is the one who taught me how to cook and bake. I learned everything I needed to know about the kitchen from her. There are two legacies that she has passed down to me, first is her love for God and the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus and the second is cooking and cooking from scratch more importantly. The saying may go, everything you need to know you learned in kindergarten but my saying is everything I needed to know about the kitchen, I learned from my mom. 

Why am I doing this series? I believe that knowing how to use kitchen tools properly is important and will help you make better food. Knowing how to master your kitchen is like your job, you must have certain appliances to help you do your job better and kitchen tools are the same. This series is about knowledge and then hopefully help you realize that cooking isn't all that bad, it is just about knowing how to use your tools properly.

Check out the previous installments about a zesterfood processordutch ovenstand mixer, and a metal steamer, and a peeler.

In this next installment, I am taking about the good old fashioned tongs, a tool I never used much, gave much thought to, or never said to myself, "man, I wish I really had a pair of tongs right now." However, I am glad I put them on our wedding registry and someone was kind enough to purchase them for us because I use them a lot, a lot more than I ever expected.

A few uses for tongs could be when browning meat and you need to brown the other side or sides. When cooking chicken, tongs will help you to flip the chicken. Tongs are great for pulling corn on the cob or eggs or ramekins out of boiling water. Tongs are not ideal for soft foods like fish. A popular vegetable this time of year, asparagus can easily be taken from a saucepan or steamer with a pair of tongs.
If you are serving pieces of fruit, or cubes of cheese, tongs are a great serving tool. Tongs can be great stirring devices like spaghetti noodles in the sauce. Tongs are useful devices if you dropped something in between your stove and the counter and your fingers are too big to reach. If you need to reach something in the back of your cupboard and your arms aren't quite long enough, reach with the tongs.

Tongs came in stainless and stainless nylon varieties. Be careful if you have all-stainless tongs, don't rest it on a hot surface for a long time the heat will transfer into the tongs.

Minimizing Nikon D5200 and D7100 banding; Mysteries Remain


Many people have noted that the Nikon D5200 and Nikon D7100 have banding in the shadows when the exposure is pushed.  In this post I'll show the settings to minimize the banding.  At the same time, there are unanswered questions.

SETTINGS

Here is the scene I used for these test shots.

I took the shots in raw, imported them into Lightroom (using the native D7100 raw support) then I pushed the exposure by 5 stops to reveal banding in the shadow areas.

I then compared the banding in the top right corner of the shelf.  I found that the settings could influence the visibility of banding.

Here is a 100% crop of the corner with 14-bit raw with lossless compression:

Here is the same corner with 14-bit raw with lossy compression:
I would say there is not much of a difference.

Now here is that corner with 12-bit raw, lossless compression:
Huge difference.

Here is that corner with 12-bit raw, lossy compression:



UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
So, is the banding simply about settings?  I don't know yet.  I downloaded the samples from DPReview and Imaging Resource and the strange thing is, none of them have any banding, even when pushed 5 stops, at any ISO.

Here is the studio scene shot for the D7100.  I cropped it to the area with the deepest shadow.  I did not see any banding at any ISO.  Here are the shots for ISO 100, 200 and 400.

ISO 100

ISO 200

ISO 400
I also downloaded the samples for the D5200.  Again I could not find the slightest hint of banding, even when pushed 5 stops.  Here are crops from the shots at ISO 100 and ISO 800.

ISO 100

ISO 800
I thought that maybe it's due to the lighting conditions of the studio scene.  So I also looked at the sample photos in the gallery for the D5200 and D7100.  I downloaded the ones with deepest shadows. (note: only JPEG samples were available).  In post, I pushed the exposure 5 stops.  Again, I could not find any banding whatsoever for either the D5200 or the D7100.

DPReview Nikon D5200 Samples:

From the file "01_20120222_0015" (ISO 100):
crop from original

+5 EV

From the file "01_20120223_0075" (ISO 100):
crop from original

+5 EV

DPReview Nikon D7100 Samples:

From the file "19DSC_0489" (ISO 1000):

+5 EV

From the file "30DSC_0512" (ISO 800):


Imaging Resource D5200 samples:

I looked at samples from Imaging Resource as well.



I even tried this deliberately underexposed shot "D5200OUTBAP0.NEF" (ISO 100):

+5 EV
I strained to find banding but could not find any.

I cannot explain why the DPReview and Imaging Resource sample shots have no banding at all, either with the D5200 or D7100.  Are DPReview and Imaging Resource using certain settings that somehow avoid banding altogether?  Or are some units defective?  The banding issue has been mentioned by Pocket Lint (D5200 and D7100) and there is chatter about it in the forums, but I haven't seen it mentioned by other professional reviewers.  I find it very strange that both units of Pocket Lint would have banding, while both units of DPR and IR have no banding.  I'm totally perplexed about this banding issue.

Daftar Lagu Terbaik Sepanjang Tahun


Lagu Terbaru - Menjelang kunjungan mereka di Jakarta awal 2013 ini, kami meluangkan sedikit waktu untuk menyusun daftar pendek 13 lagu terbaik Weezer dalam versi kami. Daftar ini tentu saja sangat terbuka untuk diperdebatkan. Jadi kalau ada di antara kalian yang tak sependapat, kolom komentar di bawah ini telah siap untuk menampung daftar lagu terbaik Weezer versi anda. Oia, daftar ini juga saya persembahkan untuk salah satu kawan baik saya yang baru saja patah hati beberapa hari lalu. Semoga konser Weezer nanti bisa menghibur hatinya yang sedang berduka, hehe.
Singkat kata, selamat membaca.
Oleh: Risyad Tabattala
Island In The Sun (The Green Album, 2001)
Tentang surga imajiner. Tak ada susah, tak ada rasa benci, apalagi penampakan para bigot yang hobi mempertontonkan kebodohan. Yang ada hanyalah hidup tenang dan bersenang-senang selamanya. Jika ternyata kelak surga memang benar-benar ada, maka “Island In The Sun” adalah lagu tema yang cocok untuk diputar saat menyambut kedatangan para penghuninya.
Putarlah lagu ini dan pejamkan mata, maka alam sekitar akan serasa surga.
Burnt Jamb (Maladroit, 2002)
Riff gitar semanis gulali di bagian intro hanyalah kamuflase sebelum akhirnya part gitar dipertengahan lagu menonjok muka anda tiba-tiba. Ibarat sebuah blender bergerigi tajam, “Burnt Jamb“ akan mengocok emosi anda begitu rupa. Oia, satu lagi. Seluruh part gitar yang berceceran di lagu ini, menurut saya, adalah yang terbaik yang pernah Weezer buat sejak awal karir mereka sampai hari ini. Killer!
Say It Ain’t So (The Blue Album, 1994)
Tentang hidup yang tak mudah. Dikemas dalam tempo sedang nan melenakan, namun pada waktunya akan menghabisi anda dengan chorus, yang meski tetap terkendali, namun tetap eksplosif. Cuma jenius yang bisa mengeksploitasi pengalaman hidup yang buruk untuk kemudian mengolahnya menjadi sebuah karya brilian. Rivers Cuomo adalah salah satunya.
Butterfly (Pinkerton, 1996)
Hanya butuh vokal nanar plus iringan gitar akustik alakadarnya untuk membangun sebuah lagu penyilet ulu hati. Saat anda mendengar Rivers Cuomo menyanyikan penggalan, “I’m sorry for what I did, I did what my body told me to…”, saat itulah anda tahu bahwa menjadi melankolis tidak lantas membuat seorang pria jadi terlihat menyedihkan.
Sebuah ratapan minor dalam level terbaik.
Buddy Holly (The Blue Album, 1994)
Lagu terbaik untuk dinyanyikan bersama jika pasangan anda juga menggemari Weezer. Sekedar saran: genggam tangannya dan lemparkan cinta ke udara saat “Buddy Holly” menggema di Jakarta nanti. Semoga sukses!
Keep Fishin’ (Maladroit, 2002)
“Oh girl when I’m in love with you, keep fishing if you feel it’s true…”
Singkat kata, Rivers Cuomo dan para sejawatnya itu adalah mentor terbaik jika anda memiliki skill di bawah rata-rata soal merayu pasangan dan membuatnya merasa lebih baik.
The Good Life (Pinkerton, 1996)
Tangga Lagu - Salah satu mood-lifter terbaik yang dimiliki oleh Weezer. Jika anda butuh dorongan ekstra untuk bangun dari keterpurukan, “The Good Life” adalah suplemen yang bisa diandalkan. Cepat bangun dari tempat tidur, lupakan usia yang terus bertambah dan tubuh yang makin lemah. Jika memang ada niat, hidup yang lebih baik (harusnya, sih) akan setia menanti di depan muka anda.
Pork and Beans (The Red Album, 2008)
Download Lagu - Perumpaan yang digunakan di lagu ini, adalah mojo yang membuat lagu ini menjadi istimewa. Sebuah sentilan kontra ‘arus utama’ yang witty dan dinyanyikan dengan hati riang gembira. Mari bernyanyi sekeras mungkin, dan acungkan jari tengah ke wajah setiap orang yang membuat dunia ini tampak membosankan dan terlalu banyak aturan.
Memories (Hurley, 2010)
Mesin waktu mungkin memang mustahil untuk dibuat, tapi setidaknya kita masih punya “Memories” untuk dinyanyikan bersama. Maka lekas datangi teman-teman lama anda dan putar lagu ini ke telinga mereka….dan biarkan tubuh anda tenggelam dalam ingatan masa lalu serta indahnya dosa yang pernah kalian lakukan.
The Angle and The One (The Red Album, 2008)
Terkadang Tuhan bercanda dengan menghadirkan wujud lawan jenis yang saking ajaibnya, seolah tak tersentuh jangkauan kita. Jika itu benar terjadi, maka perbanyak doa dan berpasrahlah, karena bisa jadi itu adalah satu-satunya hal yang bisa kita lakukan. “The Angle and The One” adalah nomor sempurna jika anda menginginkan sebuah lagu yang mendamaikan, sekaligus menawarkan efek klimaks pada titik tertinggi.
Only in Dreams (The Blue Album, 1994)
Bassline buah tangan Matt Sharp yang solid di sepanjang lagu ini adalah lem tikus yang akan seketika menempel di kepala anda dan sulit untuk disingkirkan. Sedangkan dua bilah gitar yang saling bersenggama di bagian akhir lagu adalah poin generator ejakulasinya. Anda tak perlu substansi apapun untuk terbang tinggi. Bersama lagu ini, yang anda butuhkan hanyalah sepasang telinga yang mampu mendengar.
Fall Together (Maladroit, 2002)
Riff beraroma heavy metal yang tebal dan berat, adalah satu hal yang takkan pernah anda dengar dari Weezer sebelum album lagu ini ada. Dan dengan tambahan melodi gitar yang mengancam plus penggalan chorus yang eskapis, “Fall Together” sukses menjadi salah satu nomor paling bersinar yang bisa anda temukan di album Maladroit.
Pink Triangle (Pinkerton, 1996)
Bercerita tentang kekesalan seorang pria yang frustasi karena gadis idamannya ternyata adalah seorang lesbian, lalu menumpahkan segalanya lengkap dengan sumpah serapah. Para penggiat HAM dan LGBT mungkin akan sedikit merasa bersalah andai mereka tahu seperti apa isi lagu ini. HA!
