To wake up one day and make sure your iPhone stopped working, can be shocking. But relax! It happens, and it is not doomsday. When he fell, hit, dropped it and it happened just, if you think this is a problem with the hardware component not worry about it, put a positive face and find out what happened to your damaged iPhone.
If you ever repaired a mobile phone inside the iPhone-despite the problems of degradation of the iPhone will be a spectacle. However, if you consider yourself ready to start dismantling, see a qualified specialist with experience.
Taking into account the functions performed, the iPhone's motherboard is very compact. It actually consists of two different cards, unfortunately, if damaged, must be replaced. While it may seem that there is a strong market advanced electronic needs of users who are far from the truth. In fact, the placement of specialized services in the area can be difficult and take time, but you want to be treated, because when you send the iPhone damaged by the repair work will take a long time, resulting in a month or maybe more, no is her favorite gadget, find a local specialist will probably get a job within a week after revealing the parts you need.
Even if it is a special form of their situation, may not be possible, is the preferred way of thinking when it comes to high technology today. Number of mobile phones and other mobile parts of the parties accumulated during the past 20 years is impressive and extensive damage to the environment, to continue to absorb (not to mention expensive if the iPhone is busy.) So instead of throwing the old phone or computer, you should consider its scope, or even sell repair services used, or, to put in the website for individuals to buy it.
Search the parts needed for broken iPhone can be very costly and complicated. That's why you should search the Internet community - have become so efficient in the purchase and sale that has changed the way we shop. Low prices, fast repair and a simplified process to add to its appeal and charm. So if your problem is the motherboard corrupted or damaged iPhone LCD, one of these online sites may be the answer.

IPhone Apps - a new business site?
Why a website where you can have an application for the iPhone? No, seriously. These are two versions of a web site or application are more similar than different, and may be considered in making the main sites of its iPhone version. In large sites such as AutoTrader, Expedia and Volkswagen require another site or application? Maybe not, but understand that the application site is an iPhone digital marketing tool in itself.
What can the iPhone application to carry out, that the site can not. What about the following possibilities:
- Portability and mobility: to show to anyone, at any time that you are interested, or what I would recommend to the proportion of lime in the other ... incredibly easy to do in real time and a great difference between e-mail to someone and expect a response. A great way to encourage word of mouth recommendations and trade!
- Integration of social media: the ability of an application for Facebook and Twitter introduction of direct access to your account in order to facilitate access and benefit sharing, is equal to or better than a Web site widgets, which must be downloaded and installed.
- Warnings and Alerts: Alerts latest iPhone operating system can be sent to notify users in real time ... it is not possible through the web and how e-mail notification is not optimal, since the output and less likely to be opened.
iPhone platform, of course, is limited in many ways, some of which are being studied by his cousin IPAD - screen real estate, sailing, navigation, content, etc. Although the iPhone application is not a substitute for a Web site can be considered a portable site appeal to these markets and demographics, which benefit from the unique opportunities it offers.
It should be noted that a large amount of information that was available on the website can be used or reused coincided with iPhone applications, especially if your website is based on CMS and RSS capabilities. Thus, the content assets capable of repeated use, and their sites and applications are used as a means of delivering content.
If your target market has the elements of mobility, the participation of social media and efficiency in decision making, then consider the application for the iPhone in addition to and in support of its traditional website.

Chelsea Confessions
I have been thinking about the best way to share my favourite photos
from the Chelsea Flower Show.
I feel I should be a good blogger and give you a long explanation
about each garden but I have to confess that I am not very good at that.
It is not my 'shtick' as they say.
There are far more talented bloggers that have the gift for presenting details
and creating a wonderful story around it. I regret that I have mastered the fine
art of procrastination when it comes to projects like that.
I like pictures, it is as simple as that.
For me, they say it all.
I will say that Andy Sturgeon's award winning Best Show Garden
for The Daily Telegraph had wonderful qualities.
For me, it was nostalgic of gardens I would see in Australia.
It all came together beautifully.
and then there was this lovely lavender hue garden by L'Occitane
followed by Suffolk's Golden Stone Bee Friendly Garden and the words of Albert Einstein....
It is going to be a week of flowers and travels....
stay tuned :)

IPhone Few Repair Tips
Given that the iPhone as personal as it gets, a broken iPhone can be a very unpleasant event. Let's face it, your iPhone to store your favorite music, view messages, photos, contacts, messages, and more. So when you have a broken iPhone, you must do everything possible to fix. So what can you do?
Well, first of all, it is necessary to consider the costs. If you take your iPhone into a repair shop, then you have a guarantee that your broken iPhone will be installed professionally, but! There is no guarantee that your data will be saved, and you'll pay - except the man who makes all fees, transportation costs and parts. This can add to the price of the new iPhone.
There is another option. If a broken phone still works, you can transfer to your computer and try to repair it yourself. It is not as difficult as it may seem. You can find all the parts of the network and the Internet you can find tons of "how to" manuals and documentation, and repair. Of course, you have to dirty their hands, but can be fun fixing iPhone - plus they have a guarantee that you have used the best parts and I did, but will save you money.
Of course, if your iPhone is broken beyond repair, you should be prepared to buy a new one. The good news is that you can exchange your broken iPhone for a new, and pay the difference. Typically, this means about $ 199 for the basic model. In addition to cost a bit more - but at least you can get the top of the iPhone without paying its full!

Free 4G iPhone - Top 5 tips to get yours now
The idea of getting something for free rather absurd. Today it seems strange to even think about free food not to mention more expensive than the iPhone. It is possible however, if you follow some steps, which inevitably lead to you owning the iPhone for free.
The first step is to find a place to announce these transactions and you can check online to see if they have complaints from users who received free goods to support their claims. It is always a good precaution to check and see if some people can get free stuff, too, before trying to do it yourself.
Then check out all the necessary requirements to get a free iPhone 4G. Sites that offer these businesses need to fill a number of proposals. Items that require less draft budget, while more expensive you will be asked to fill out some. Always remember that the amount you need to do before you start, I do not want to do only a select few and then open you have to do another 5 or 6 is not ready to run.
Third, we find the proposals that have free trials associated with them. This is a way to ensure you receive products for free. Something can be advertised as free, but if you have to subscribe to a series of proposals that will cost you money, is not really free now is it? There are two steps can be useful, because you really have to decide in advance how many proposals to do, and determine which of the many offers you want to put my time in. You can also open a new product or service that you really enjoy way to the end. If you sign up for a free trial, be sure to cancel before they are to your credit card.
The fourth step, you must complete is to get friends to do the same. Each offers a complete in order to obtain any electronics, including the iPhone 4G will require you to complete a series of proposals and a number of friends to do the same to do well. Always make sure you can meet all the terms and conditions set forth in the contract.
The last step is the knowledge base. You will be amazed at how companies can offer these free, you pay the money and the reason for this is that the offers you have to register agreements with the parent. Every time someone subscribes to the offer they receive a commission, so that both can make the benefits and the supply of goods such as laptops, iPhones and gaming consoles. This is a win-win for all parties, so feel free to initiate the process.

Ooh la la!!! in Sloane Square
Ooh la la....is the first thing I said when I popped out
of the Sloane Square tube station this morning.
I hit the streets bright and early to make the most of my day and quickly
came upon these beautiful window displays.
in support of the Chelsea Flower Show.
I think the images speak for themselves but what I was really
taken with was the lovely hats on display at
Whew...and this was all before I stepped into the Flower Show.....
and it was wonderful!!!!
But....I will have to save that for later :)
I have enough photos to make it last all summer long.
In the meantime, I have to run.
Mr. H is giving me 'the look'.
I need to pack.
We are off to Quebec City tomorrow
to celebrate the birthday of a very special lady,
Mere Claire.
I am going to say adieu
and send you floral wishes for a wonderful weekend!!

Best and Free iPhone Games
Apple iPhone was a revolutionary device that, when it was released in June 2007 and is still probably the best phone on the market nowadays. One aspect of the iPhone is amazing that many people, the reliability of portable gaming. With its Multi-Touch full screen, its "accelerometer," which can determine how the device is held and moved, and 3D graphics, the iPhone was one of the major competitors like Sony and Nintendo in the handheld gaming market .
There are tens of thousands of free games for Apple App Store, but most of them are very ill or are just "demo" games are more expensive paid version. However, there are definitely some gems, if you're willing to mine for them. Here are some of the best free iPhone games that will help you get started.
1. Tap Tap Revenge II
If anyone ever saw play Guitar Hero, you know, the basic concept of this game. Instead of guitars, to "touch" on the screen in time with your favorite music. You can earn high scores by pressing a bunch of notes in a row without losing.
2. Sol Free Solitaire
It is a simple game of solitaire, you can search your computer for Windows. In fact, there are plenty of solitaire games, such as the iPhone, and Sol Free Solitaire stands head and shoulders above the rest. The graphics are clear and unambiguous, and maps very sensitive to touch as the fingers of the fall of the pile in a heap.
3. Real GTI Racing
Real GTi Racing is an arcade complete set of races where a few years ago, only to be found in a gallery or a home shopping center console. The graphics are first rate and realistic, smooth controls, lets you feel like you're really in a race car. There are three game modes: quick race, time trial and championship cup. This is without doubt the best arcade racer on the iPhone.
4. Chess with your friends / words with friends
These two sets of the company "NewToy. What makes this game unique is that they can play at any time. Chess with your friends (obviously), chess, and words with friends version of Scrabble. Once you move, you can to turn the game on and go about their daily business. When your friend has made his move - a couple of hours or days later - to open the game and take the next step. Softgames amazing graphics and as the inherent social nature made these games are very popular.
5. TapDefense
This is a popular game in the tower defense "genre." Tower Defense games have become popular as simple online games. Roy enemies outside the entrance and head in line at the start, which should be protected by building a series of towers to protect production. While there are many games like this in the App Store, TapDefense is unique because not only first class, but free as well.
6. iBowl
This is another social game. If you've ever played on the Nintendo Wii bowling with friends, then you could imagine that this game is about. You throw your bowling ball is simply waving his hand, and the iPhone follows the movement of your hand. Your friend on the other side of town (or world) you can see her roll the ball along the road, and then they can take their turn. It is a fun and challenging game for those who like to play the game without having to press the buttons a lot.

iPhone 4G Price Comparison
Smartphone competition heats phones each month are introduced with the latest features available in all major cell phone operators. One of the biggest areas of competition is price. With all the numbers so close, compared with different roles, point of sale that may well be the price. Typically, companies offer huge discounts to reach an agreement to sign a new two-year contract, so make sure you are going to use their services for at least the next two years. They continue to do so for existing customers as well as a brake on any vessel of the new company to jump out when the new phone.
IPhone is a great name in the smartphone market. They are offered in various sizes that are directly linked to the price. The smaller, cheaper, since most of those that provide more storage capacity. 4G IPhone, you probably have a price similar to the iPhone 3G price was $ 199 for the 16GB model, but much smaller 8GB model sold for $ 99 with a 2 year contract. 32 GB model is $ 299 and the size larger than AT & T offers a whole. This is also the most expensive smartphones on the market compared to all other options.
Other smart phones, like Motorola and Palm droid before you have much less internal memory, but you can use external storage methods, such as SD card for their empowerment. Droid sells for $ 199 with a very small internal memory of 256 MB. Palm just like the iPhone soon and is more expensive than the iPhone with a reduced price of $ 149. Apple highlights were definitely the internal dimensions of the phone is so big and is not comparable with any other smartphone on the market. It may also discourage some of them, however, because many people want to removable storage devices, and Apple could reduce sales of its higher amount of storage because of the possibility of buying a chip external storage for the same purpose.
Another big name in the market for BlackBerry smartphones series. Blackberry Bold is a mere 256MB of free space on it, but a low price for most phones $ 199. Cheap Smartphone available seems, Blackberry 9630 tour for only $ 49.99, but it also has a small capacity hard disk space. Each phone also has its own operating system and forms, depending on who manufactures the phone.
Most smart phones have the same function, but its implementation and function that separates each other. For example, all have cameras, but the added capability of these cameras megapixels and support to differentiate them. Price is one of points of sale for all phones, including iPhone 4G, but not the only factor to consider.

It's Over!!!
H&M tights, skirt and top, Invito Heels, Promod Blazer.
Yess, after 2 weeks of exams (and 4 weeks of learning for them) I"m finally finished and so ready to have my holiday! Today I made my last exam, English, and because I've been living in allstars, sweaters, pants and been makeupless, I thought it would be fun and time to be stylish again. So I finished my last exam in these high heels. It seriously is fun to dress up again, I can assure you I missed it!
I'll post as much as I can before I go to my holiday. I'm going with a friend to celebrate that we are done to Milano and Florence for 10 days. I'm so excited and can't wait to go. Do you guys know any cool store in one of those city's?
I'm really glad its over, but its also really weird. I never have to learn Latin or Economics again.. ever.. And i will never go that my old school again for a lessonday. But I guess old things end for the new incredible things to come. I can't believe I'm going to an University next year!
PS: I got Twitter btw! I'm still getting used to it and I don't know if I'm a real twitterfan, but I guess its fun. I'll be posting mostly in Dutch, so I'm sorry!
PPS: I'm a member of the Delance Fashion Community now. It is really fun :) You should join too!

This house is for sale...no, it is not mine!
I was drawn to the garden. It must look spectacular from the house.
Imagine the fun you could have creating a garden like that.
Imagine the flowers and herbs you could fill your house with!
Looks like the sort of garden that dreams are made of.

Prince Charles
I am coming out of left field here.
This is normally the sort of post I would put on Finding My Way
but you know how it is when the spirit moves you.
It has come about in a strange way.
That prompted me to think of all the handsome, distinguished gentlemen
I tried to look nonchalantly but I am sure the drool was spotted a mile away.
I am a sucker for a man in a suit...especially Mr. H :)
I then thought it would be fun to do a little research
to see who are considered to be some of the best dressed men.
Guess who popped up over and over again?
the World's Best Dressed Man in 2009.
Who knew?
Not me.
I have to say, he does the English gentleman very well.
"It''s the men who dress like grown-ups who really
caught the judge''s eyes this year; as well as those who have developed
their own distinctive style and stuck with it.
So there you go, I am living in the right place.
What is not to love?
I just love this photo.
It is relaxed, playful and it is all happening in a gorgeous setting.
What is not to love?
I could probably stop here but it gets better.
We are looking at the entry to Domaine du Sault
in the South of France, outside of Cannes.
The story starts with a table made from an old millstone.
It is the people who sat around the table one evening
in 1948 that linger in one's mind.
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor,
Clark Gable and Tyrone Power to name a few.
The evening was aptly organized by one of the
most celebrated hostess's of the time-
'Elsa Maxwell reigned as America’s top party-giver in the mid-Twentieth Century. Labeled “The Hostess with the Mostest” by the press, her rise to command the ballrooms of New York, Vienna and London took her worlds away from her humble Iowa beginnings.'
I am sure the heady days of Elsa and her soiree's are sadly missed at Domaine du Sault.
I imagine they can still be heard on a summer's evening under the moonlit sky.
It seems the home and grounds have always been destined for wonderful parties.
What is not to love about a home with a history?
Who knows what little trysts took place all those years ago?
It goes back even further, as parts of the house date back to the sixteenth century.
Ah, if these walls could talk, the tales they would tell....
The owners today are California based and have lovingly restored the house.
As you can see from the photos, the house has a wonderful feel to it.
Elegant and family friendly, is that possible?
It seems to be here.
I can imagine children playing with crayons and paper on the dining table
and books and legos scattered about. All with a minimum of fuss to clean up.
Perfect!
I am most impressed by the determination of the owner.
She took measurements of all the rooms, had the drapes made in California
and shipped them over in two 40-foot containers with assorted antiques and family furniture.
Having just crossed the sea with two 40-foot containers myself, I know this was no small feat.
They have since raised the millstone table to allow for more
comfortable dining and the parties carry on.
The owner's thoughts on the house....
