At a news conference this morning, FIFA and the local 2010 organising announced that the iconic, but noisy vuvuzela, a plastic air horn, will be banned from the stadia for the duration of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Citing safety concerns as well as the potential to effect the broadcasting of the games spokesman Fal Linfrit said the decision was not just a difficult, but painful as the vuvuzela has become such an integral part of the football landscape in South Africa. This is not the first time the vuvuzela has been banned from an event and of particular concern was the problem that emergency announcements would not be able to be heard should there be a situation where the crowds need to be informed of evacuation procedures. Of lesser concern was the problem broadcasters would face with the noise levels affecting the commentary of the games and even affecting the number of television viewers.

This category is one I look forward to every year. Although I obviously cannot test out the legitimacy of all the recipes, browsing through the finalists I always find a few I would like to try. That combined with the natural interest in liquid beverages...
Best Food and Wine Blog
[Blogs written primarily about food or drink.]
www.cooksister.com : Last year's winner (in two categories) is back. Seamlessly interspersing personal and food related posts, the easy going writing style in posts just the right length make this another strong contender this year. Written by a South African residing in London there is an eclectic mix recipes. In fact, I am extremely tempted to try out the latest recipe for my visitors this weekend. The design and layout of this blog hasn't changed much if at all since last year (Not that I'm one to talk) so as good as the content may and the food may taste be it does have a slighly dated feel to it.
thecru.co.za : Written by Brendon Shaw, a guy who's passion for wine shines through his writing. Beautiful pictures of food and the wine country are included but it's the wine and wine estate reviews that set this blog apart from the crowd. Reading through the last couple of months worth of posts, I have already learnt alot about the local (Cape) cultivars and even discovered some estates. Next time I need to stock up on some wine I will be making a stop here so I can make some educated purchases. The design is classic 2009 blog styling. It's clean, easily navigated and the posts neatly categorised and there's some quality links in the side panel.
4cousins.blat.co.za : A quirky outlet for the marketers of a quirky wine, Four Cousins. Although all the posts essentially center around wine, they are not necessarily only about the wine being marketed. There are tips and ideas for serving wines, recipes, pairing advise and general information that a newbie can use to feel like they know just enough not to be belittled by the wine elite.
my-easy-cooking.com : Nina Timm is a stay-at-home mom, wife, want-to-be chef and caterer. Her recipes are inherently South African and decidedly pratical. Well within the reach of the 'amateur' cook her recipes are presented in a way that feels exciting but attainable. A blogger.com blog I can't help but think template could do with a little upgrade, a little chic understated template redesign would up the ante both nationally and internationally.
whatsforsupper-juno.blogspot.com : AKA Scrumptious Blog, another blog using the blogger platform that has made into the finals. Written under the pseudonym 'Juno' by a 'shy' freelance writer and food obsessor, this blog is all about food and recipes. The recipes presented range from things you expect to see at an international class restaurant to Granadilla cake made with Coca-Cola. What is most evident in the posts is the amount of effort that goes into each entry. There are back stories, tips and/or a bowl full of information on the ingredients preceding each recipe. This one is most definitely for the enthusiasts.
blog.winecountry.co.za : Henré, aka 'the Plank', has created an awesome portal for all things wine in and around Paarl and Cape Winelands. The classy design effortlessly aggregates the information available to the reader. I was immediately drawn into clicking myself far into the depths of this site. I was relieved to learn that there are multiple contributors as this blog has wine, food, tasting and event reviews, recipes and even videos ... and there are Afrikaans articles nogal! An awesome resource and worldclass window into the Cape Winelands
foodblogs.24.com/tonguetickle : Great, simple, resourceful and practical recipes abound at Tongue Tickle. If it weren't for the lack of freedom of expression granted in terms of design by 24.com blogs this could well have been my favourite foodie blog. The tiny 'banner' that get's lost under the food24blogs header minimises if not completely obliterates any chance of the author creating any sort of branding opportunities. I would also like to read a little more background to tge recipes presented. Despite this Tickle has managed to pull in a pretty neat community, I would be intrigued to see how this could be translated in to the greater web-o-sphere.
blogs.thetimes.co.za/pendock : Neil Pendock is South Africa’s leading independent drinks commentator and a columnist for the Sunday Times, Financial Mail, winenews.co.za and Good Taste magazine. I first read Neil's online column a few months ago when he threw the spotlight on one of my old school buddies, now a winemaker. Reading his column (difficult to call this blogging), it is immediately evident that writing is his bread and butter. None of this amateur vague sentence-thought connections put onto the web for those who have nothing else do to to read. Here you have stories that once you finish reading you realise that you have just experienced a wine tasting event as if you were actually there or somehow know exactly what the wine tasted, smelt and even felt like. Apparently being 'now redeployed as an intermittent intermezzo,' I fear that this new found joy may become rare or even extinct
relax-with-dax.co.za : ... and on the other end of the scale we have Dax Villanueva. An IT professional that enjoys experiencing all Cape Town's gastronomic pleasures, it would seem. He doesn't pretend to be a professional food critic and I found is reviews refreshingly honest. It's always nice to get the feel of an establishment from the perspective of the ordinary man on the street. This you get, and should you chose to, you will not alone because he to seems to have managed to gain quite a following. While I did find his template design in itself practical and appropriate, the loud font used for the text in the posts gave you the feeling that Dax was shouting the text at you.
spitorswallow.co.za : 'Its an experience' is the byline for this 'blog' for wine lovers. On the positive, the masthead is probably the best of this year's entire crop of finalists, across all categories. Classy, quirky, off the wall, yet somehow belletristic (I know this is more of a literary reference, but just fits perfectly here). It fits into a site that is designed in way that you almost expect to get that slight breeze you feel when turning the slightly higher caliper paper of a glossy magazine. So now that the gushing is over, I am not convinced that Spit or Swallow should be sitting in the running for a blog award. Although it calls itself a blog, it is essentially a review site. Wine estates are listed and a short description/review offered, thereafter the reviews are left to visitors to the site. There is then a rating (swallow) that is given by each reviewer. Weblog? Me thinks not, but a cool site nonetheless.
My prediction :
Eish!! this is a tough one. Many of these finalist appear to have quite a support base andobviously loyal readership is where the bulk of the votes will come from. TongueTickle may just have the edge, if Cooksister's supporters let her down this year
Are you in the market for a cell phone signal booster for your home, office, or car? Are you looking for information on the different types of cell boosters, which brands are the best, and how to install and operate your cell signal booster?
If so then you have found the right place. Below you will find links that we have provided to other sections of our website that will provide you with the information that you are looking for on cell phone boosters. However, before I give you the links I wanted to quickly go over some information about cell phone signal boosters.
Cell phone signal boosters (also referred to as cell phone amplifiers or cell phone repeaters) have become increasingly popular in recent years with the explosion of the cellular phone. Ten to fifteen years ago almost nobody had cell phones but with technological advances the costs for cell phones plummeted and as of today most people have their own personal cell phones.
Unfortunately along with the benefits of cell phones came a new problem, a lack of good cell phone coverage, or what is commonly referred to as cell signal dead zones. With dead zones there came about a need for a way to enhance cell signals and thus eliminate these dead zones. The result was that companies began popping up all over the place that were specifically manufacturing what we now know as the modern day cell booster.
Cell phone signal boosters are generally small electronic devices that capture nearby cell phone signals and retransmit them so that they are stronger and reach into areas where signal loss may be present. In most cases cell boosters are most effective in indoor areas where cell signals were previously blocked by the building itself. Cell boosters are also known for working really well in cars. There are also certain types of cell phone booster antenna devices but these are usually somewhat ineffective.
There are many advantages to having cell phone signal boosters. In most cases a cell booster will allow your mobile phone to be a true wireless device. Once you get a booster you will be able to roam throughout your whole house without having to worry about dropped calls as opposed to be forced to stand near a window or even outside. So a cell signal booster will allow you to not only eliminate dropped calls but will also allow you to move about your entire house while using your cell phone.
In our reviews of different cell phone signal boosters we looked at a bunch of different cell boosters that worked as cell range extenders. The reviews below consist of some great cell phone amplifiers and some not so great ones too. Our goal here was to provide reviews of a wide range of different types of cellular boosters that have different features in order to give you a good idea of what is out there so you can choose the booster that is best for you.

Using normal incandescent light bulbs is OK, if you like changing lights all the time, especially in the dark, middle of night scenario. And , they explode sometimes entertaining but labor intensive as the glass shards are a pain in butt to clean up. Seems it has to do with electric system spiking volts, or whatever.The newer Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL's) are available in Egypt now - and you can find them in small size (usually 15 watt but can find as high as 23 watt), or larger size 26 watt - daylight (YUCK) or Warm Yellow.
The problem with incandescent bulbs is that the heat wastes a lot of electricity. Heat is not light, and the purpose of the light bulb is light, so all of the energy spent creating heat is a waste. Incandescent bulbs are therefore very inefficient. They produce perhaps 15 lumen'sper watt of input power.
A fluorescent bulb produces less heat, so it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can producebetween 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbsfour to six times more efficientthan incandescent bulbs. That's why you can buy a 15-watt fluorescent bulb thatproduces the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb.
Here is a guide:
I have no incandescent lights left in my house. All are CFL's and halogens with dimmer switches. And, I have to change them rarely - maybe once per year, or longer.
Theoretically compared life spans are as follows:
Bulb Type
Watts
Life (hrs)
Lumens
life
Incandescent
40
1000
505
Fluorescent
15
9000
720
9x
Incandescent
60
870
1000
Fluorescent
18
10000
1100
11x
Incandescent
75
750
1190
Fluorescent
20
10000
1200
13x
But, CFL's are much more pricy when you buy - but not really - a 26 watt CFL is about 27 LE and the equivalent 100 watt incandescent is 4.50 LE (at most expensive shop in Cairo - Kimo's) But, you will change the 100 watt incandescent 13 times for one CFL, so actual price is about 58 LE, or about 2+ times cost. Also you used lot less electricity during this time. (for each hour of use for 100 Watt incandescent is 100 KWH for CFL 26 KWH) Using CFL's is a win win!!!!!!!!!!
But if you like to change light bulbs, and need excuse to leave house to buy them - (Kimo's is crawling distance to ACE Club) Go For it!!!!
Go figure!!!!!!!!!
BUT I HAVE ONLY TALKED ABOUT MONEY HERE AND BEING LAZY - MAYBE YOU ARE Susceptible TO THE "FLICKER???? copied from this link
Sure, we know you want to do your part for the planet and all that jazz, but what if conserving energy is killing you? Okay, well, it might not be killing you, but according to a new report out of the UK, it's possible that those new-fangled fluorescent bulbs everyone is telling you to buy these days may be aggravating your migraines, making you nauseous, or causing you physical pain (if you've got lupus). The Daily Mail says that because the bulbs work in the same fashion as typical fluorescent bulbs (which can be irritating to some), the subtle flickering inherent to the technology can cause problems. Britain's Migraine Action Association director Paul Jansen said, "For some people a migraine attack can be triggered by fluorescent lights, video screens, stroboscopic effects and flashing lights." And added that, "We hope that the Government will allow regular light bulbs still to be available to those who need them." On the flip side, compact fluorescent supporters say only older technology or low-energy bulbs have flickering issues, and that new models being produced are clear of problems. Surely that may be the case -- but we need something to blame this stabbing eye pain on.
Warning: Energy saving light bulbs can trigger migraines, say experts
Energy saving light bulbs can trigger migraines, health experts and charities warned last night.
They have been inundated with complaints about the fluorescent bulbs, which are due to become compulsory in homes within four years.
Campaigners are calling for the Government to allow an opt-out for people with health problems so they can continue to use old-style bulbs.
The warning follows concerns that eco-bulbs can trigger dizziness, loss of focus and discomfort among people with epilepsy.
There have also been complaints from people with lupus - an auto-immune disease causing many symptoms including pain.
Low energy lightbulbs are miniature versions of the fluorescent strip lights common in offices and kitchens. The latest generation are the size of conventional incandescent bulbs with a filament, but use just a quarter of the energy.
Although they are often five times the cost of old-fashioned bulbs, they use around a quarter of the energy and can pay for themselves within months. Critics, however, say the technology is still not up to scratch. Many complain the light is cold or green, and they take up to a minute to warm up properly, and because they are fluorescent, they flicker.
The Migraine Action Association said there was growing concern about the links between the bulbs and severe headaches.
The charity's Paul Jansen said: "For some people a migraine attack can be triggered by fluorescent lights, video screens, stroboscopic effects and flashing lights.
"Most of the currently available low energy light bulbs are based on fluorescent light technology.
"We hope that the Government will allow regular light bulbs still to be available to those who need them.'
The Government has acknowledged low energy bulbs could pose a problem.
In a written parliamentary answer, Health Minister Ivan Lewis said: "It is known some people with epilepsy may be affected by energy saving light bulbs."
The Lighting Association denied that flicker was a problem with modern energy saving bulbs.
"Compact fluorescent lamps give a constant, flicker-free, nonstroboscopic light," said spokesman Jo Jackson.
She warned against poor quality, cheap lamps, saying: "A small number of cases have been reported by people who suffer from reactions to certain types of linear (straight line) fluorescent lamps.
"These were almost certainly triggered by old technology."
A spokesman for the Energy Saving Trust said: "The technology has changed massively over the last few years. We would advise people to only buy bulbs with the Energy Saving Recommended - SR - logo."
The Migraine Action Association is on www.migraine.org.uk, or phone 01536 461333.
OK - in conclusion, you can google yourself - for me I have headaches - think not from lights but local Beer which also at times cleans my bowels with diarrhea.
According to this post at Last.fm blog, South Africans along with the rest of the world's users not resident in the US, UK or Germany will have to pay €3.00 per month to stream the over 7 million tracks in the Last.fm catalogue from the 30th March 2009. The vague post claims this is ' In order to keep providing the best radio service on the web.' While I have no reason to doubt that this is yet another case of the short-sighted record companies meddling with internet business cases, the truth is that these are countries where they have the capacity to best market for ad sales, their funding source. They utilise CBS Interactive in the US, are UK based and apparently have always had a string presence in Germany.
For someone who just last week began fully utilising this service and a total convert, this is extremely disappointing and the 685 comments and counting under the post announcing the news shows that I am not the only one.
Q&A for users outside the US, UK or Germany (Source http://blog.last.fm)
Q. When does this go into effect? A: We are currently planning to switch to subscription radio outside the US, UK, and Germany on Monday, March 30.
Q. What happens if I’m already a subscriber, or I buy a subscription before March 30th? A. Your subscription will continue to be valid and automatically gain Last.fm Radio functionality after the switch. Existing subscribers don’t need to change anything.
Q. Does this affect listening to previews or full length tracks? A. No.
Q&A for users in the US, UK or Germany
Q. Will I be affected by the changes to Last.fm Radio? A. No!
It's that time of the year again. The SA Blog Award's voting process is in full swing and you have until the 1st April to exercise your democratic right to make the ego of a blogger that much bigger. As usual to assist you in making your decision, Eish!! will be reviewing the finalists in selected categories.
Best Science and Technology Blog [Blogs primarily focused on Science, Technology, Computers or the Internet]
dchetty.co.za : Relaunched in November 2008 and needing 'to start at the very bottom of the pile,' D Chetty is producing masses of content primarily technology focused but not even close to being able to be truly pigeon-holed as a technology blog. I have full respect for a guy who is able to churn out content on such diverse topics, not afraid to express an opinion or two along the way. The site design is impressive and you can see that he is a blog reader himself and has borrowed design hits from various sources. If I had to find something to criticise it would be the lack of a masthead. Some type of branding would be a good way to create an identity in a space he is clearly beginning to make his mark
startupafrica.com : It's all in the name. 'StartUpAfrica is a blog dedicated to entrepreneurship in Africa with a particular focus on technology entrepreneurship.' Ismail Dhorat uses this blog as a vehicle to disseminate information, thoughts, useful information and tools a startup can use to get from the birth of an idea, to market and ultimately to success. He also uses it as a way to highlight African startups in the ICT industry. I particularly liked the 'Submit Startup' button on the top menu, where startups can submit their details for review. The layout is simple and business-like, not a great fan of maroon personally but the quality of the content more than compensates for this.
matthewbuckland.com : Last year's best business blog, written by someone who was a SA Blog Awards judge in 2007, one would expect this blog to be a strong contender in this category this year. The thing is, when Matthew Buckland speaks, people listen. When the the GM of Publishing & Social Media at 24.com, the former GM of Mail & Guardian Online, the co-founder amatomu.com and Thought Leader (pause for breath here) writes it's always something worth reading. I enjoy reading the tech. stories and innovations written and reviewd in a comprehensive, but not overly wordy manner. The design is unexciting yet functional and the Presentation links are worth the visit on their own if you have any interest in web and technology trends.
bandwidthblog.com : Not much has changed since last years review of Charl Norman's tech blog. Now is the a good or bad thing? I guess if you are the reviewer it's not so good. If you are wanting to get the low down on what is important in the Web 2.0 scene both international and local then this is a great thing, this is still the place to go. The simple design keeps your focus on what is really important, the content.
imod.co.za : Also in the running for SA Blog of the Year and last year's winner in this category Chris Mill's 'Cape Town blog' has become one of SA's premier blogs. Unlike the previous blog reviewed the design and content has continually morphed over the past year and once again I would find it difficult to have to categorise this as a tech. blog, in fact the Blog of the Year award seems way more of a fit as Chris shares his internet and technology finds and prowess just as readily as he does pieces of his personal life's experiences. I've always enjoyed Chris's various design templates for iMod, they are always simple and functional.
pauljacobson.org : Probably best described as a personal blog about tech, Web and Digital Media lawyer Paul Jacobson uses this blog as an outlet for his interest in gadgets and other 'cool stuff.' This web offering probably epitomises what a blog should be. Information shared by enthusiasts with just enough knowledge and passion to make for great reading. This blog has a great design, great content and sufficient local focus to be added to my regular read list.
systemshock.co.za : I have to admit systemshock.co.za is a new site to me. For someone who regularly trawls the SA blogosphere and has a particular interest in technology this surprises me. That said anyone interested in hardware and particularly gaming will eat this blog up for breakfast .. and then come back for more for lunch. The site design is something I can only aspire to. It presents it's mass of information in a way that is easy to take in, and I must give special menu for the neat sliding menu at the top. Shiny and smooth! I have to,however give a 'grrr' to the lack of any 'About' page. A pet hate of mine, as I always like to find out more about the source of the information I am reading, and give kudos in these reviews.
handytechtips.blogspot.com : This blog appears to be a bit of a wildcard. Again, like the previous blog, written by a seemingly anonymous blogger (no biography or about page) this site template when compared to the other finalists has a distinctive web 1.0 feel to it. But let's push that to the side for a moment and look at the content. Of all the finalists this one offers the most content that the average Joe ... er ... Barber can use. Tips on how to use internet services to save money, get free games etc from a South African perspective is going to have huge appeal to the non-internet elite.
skepticdetective.wordpress.com : I write this review with a certain amount of trepidation. After doing my usual scan through a finalist's latest page or three worth of posts, and reading a short (they are always short) biography, I am usually able to get a feel for what the author(s) are trying to achieve, the tools and knowledge they bring to the blog and the overall objective for them publishing what they do. After going through this sequence this time I felt like I missed something. Firstly, the reason for their nomination is clearly based on science, not technology ... I think. The lack of background information of the author (another grr) or blog means I have to assume the sceptism them applies to everything ... I think. The simple design makes for easy navigation and neat albeit uninspiring presentation, which is a pity as although the I struggled with the overall data package, the individual postings made for extremely interesting reading.
samsungblog.co.za : This is the place to go for all things Samsung ... from a South African perspective. Trawling through site for the first time its was not immediately obvious to me if this was an official Samsung property. Obviously scrolling to the bottom of the page confirmed this to be the case, but then I found myself asking a) if this ambiguity was done so on purpose and b) if so (or not) is this a good thing. Perhaps a more obvious branding would give it more 'officialness?' I also noticed that this was created by Cerebra, a bunch I have immense respect for, and this unfortunately meant I suddenly expected more. More of what? I have no idea, just more! The design is functional, if not stimulating and has all the necessary components in all the right places, although I would like to see the 'downloads and manuals' placed in a more visible spot, I found it's positioning and conservative typeface easy to overlook.
My prediction :
While I would like to see newcomer dchetty.co.za take this one and get the exposure that comes along with the award, my prediction is it's a two horse race between imod.co.za and matthewbuckland.com, with imod's burdgeoning community taking it to the top.
At a news conference this morning, FIFA and the local 2010 organising announced that the iconic, but noisy vuvuzela, a plastic air horn, will be banned from the stadia for the duration of the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
