iphone 4G

As my mobile phone contract is about to run out, I was considering replacing my now aging Nokia N95 with an Iphone. The news of the new Iphone 4G got me thinking of waiting for its Australian release. On researching however I am now considering whether to switch to the EVO 4G from HTC. I have had favourable comments about HTC previously but always thought that Apple has the better applications. As I do not use the camera often perhaps the fact that EVO has an 8meg camera versus a 5meg from Apple is not that big a deal but an extra hour of battery life may be. Iphone is said to have HD display which should make viewing a better experience.

Being avid fans of "MASTER CHEF" I thought I'd finally cook one of their innovations. Bomba Chorizo just got my mouth watering; however we do not deep fry. So I followed their recipe and baked the prepareed dumplings.
They were bedded on braised leek very similar to the recipe, but we added a most delicious tomato based red bean and shitake mushroom sauce. No salt or sugar is added to my cooking. I use a lot of onion and herbs in my cooking to avoid my food to be too bland. In the sauce was Parsley Sage Thyme and Bay leaf.

is this the tail end of the GFC?

Managing our small super fund has again become a headache. After successfully dragging it out of the mire; May proved to be dismay. But when I woke up this morning I heard that the Dow Jones crashed 300+ points. One can only cross one's fingers that June doesn't become an abyss.
