It looks like HTC may have some news in store for us on September 1st, when the company holds one of its public meetups in London. The folks over at Pocket-Lint noticed the event on HTC’s Facebook page today, where the manufacturer posted an open invitation for the public to “come party” and “see what’s next.” At this point, it’s hard to tell whether or not HTC will actually unveil anything in the way of new hardware, though there have been rumors swirling around a possible September release date for its Ruby and Bliss handsets, coupled with leaks of its forthcoming Puccini tablet. Plus, as Pocket-Lint observes, HTC’s last public meetup came in the wake of the Sensation ‘s release, so recent history suggests there may be something afoot this time, as well. We’ll have to wait and see how it all shakes out, but you can hit up the source link for more information on attending the event, which is open on a first-come, first-served basis. HTC announces September meetup event on Facebook, new phones on the way? originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 19 Aug 2011 07:14:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

Type: Photography Title: Blackbird Fly 35mm TLR Twin Lens Reflex Camera – Black with Blue Face See all customer reviews Product Description: The Blackbird, fly is a twin-lens reflex camera: one lens is used to expose the film, while the other is used like a viewfinder. It’s a famous style of camera whose history stretches back to the 1920s. The Blackbird fly uses 35mm film. There are two ways to take a picture with the Blackbird fly. For quiet and reflective framing, you can hold the camera at waist level and look down, to compose your shot using the finder lens. For a quicker style of shot, you can use the sportsfinder, which approximates a viewfinder through a notch in the top of the camera. The Blackbird fly can take pictures in standard 35mm film format (24

Here he is wheeling out his act at the Millennium Stadium: Mike Harding wants to get on the phone to Rochdale ahead of next week’s Hartlepool game, there’s clearly a few quid to be made in this racket. 11.45am: Paul Wilson is at Carrington for Sir Alex Ferguson’s press conference. Fun and games at Carrington this morning. Fergie started his press conference a few minutes early, catching out a few reporters who were actually on time but still had to creep in quietly while he was speaking. The United manager broke off at one point to berate one hack in particular, who was just returning from a ban. “What’s the matter, did you oversleep or something?” Cool as you like, the journalist had a riposte ready. “No,” he said. “I’d forgotten how to get here, that’s all. I went to the Cliff first but there was nobody there.” Fergie had no comeback to that, except to laugh along with everyone else. 11.40am: A dispatch from our man at London Colney. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Dominic Fifield! En route to Arsenal’s press conference today with the same old issues nagging away: possible incoming transfers; Samir Nasri’s departure for Manchester City; team selection for an awkward game against Liverpool given the injuries and suspensions that appear to have eaten into Arsene Wenger’s options; maybe even some thoughts on his new captain, Robin van Persie. Liverpool’s visit to the Emirates last season, when Arsenal led in stoppage time but shipped an equaliser to an 111th minute penalty, rather summed up the fragility that has undermined this squad too often in recent times. Will be intriguing to see how this patched up side copes with the fixture this time around, particularly given the money Kenny Dalglish has spent on his own squad over the summer and the likelihood that these clubs are competing directly for a place in the top four. And you can clearly add frustration at Uefa’s disciplinary proceedings to that list now. 11.35am: Uefa are to start disciplinary proceedings against Arsene Wenger, for using the phone. Wenger is in hot water for circumventing – i.e. brazenly flouting – his touchline ban against Udinese. There’s a moral compare and contrast to be made with Jose Mourinho getting away with that eye-popping brouhaha at the end of Thursday morning’s el travesto , no doubt, but not by this Football Live Blog hack. Jose’s clearly been awarded points for artistic merit, and deservedly so. He’s a very entertaining man. 11.25am: A reminder that Lincoln City’s Keith Alexander Memorial Tournament takes place this weekend at at Cherry Willingham Community School, Lincoln, tomorrow . Other events: Premier League Saturday Sunderland v Newcastle United (12pm) Arsenal v Liverpool (12.45pm) Aston Villa v Blackburn Rovers (3pm) Everton v QPR (3pm) Swansea v Wigan (3pm) Chelsea v West Brom (3pm) Sunday Nowrwich City v Stoke (1.30pm) Wolves v Fulham (2pm) Bolton v Man City (4pm) Monday Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur (8pm) The Championship Brighton v Blackpool (3pm) Bristol City v Portsmouth (3pm) Burnley v Cardiff City (3pm) Coventry v Watford (3pm) Derby County v Doncaster Rovers (3pm) Hull City v Crystal Palace (3pm) Nottingham Forest v Leicester (3pm) Reading v Barnsley (3pm) Southampton v Millwall (3pm) Peterborough v Ipswich Town (5.20pm) 11.15am: It’s the Tyne-Wear / Wear-Tyne derby tomorrow, and Shola Ameobi is set to start . Also from the official Newcastle website (www.sportsdirect.com/firesale) is this Peter Lovenkrands goal celebration wallpaper . It’s computer wallpaper, not the real stuff you hang on your walls. Although if you are desirous of PC-generated interior decoration, this report is the literary equivalent of beige, and would probably do for the downstairs lav at least, the hallway at a push. 11.05am: HOT TRANSFER CHAT. You’ve heard this one before, of course: Samir Nasri is heading for Manchester City. But Roberto Mancini is upping the ante this morning: he’s confirmed a deal is “very close”. Having said that , he also keeps saying “I don’t know, I don’t know” a lot on Sky Sports, so make of that what you will. 11am: Some reading matter for your morning tea break. Do people still have tea breaks? Maybe you’ve just woken up. Anyway, James Dart’s Football League Weekender , the nearest we’ll get to a Flowered Up reference all morning, mentions all the upcoming key matches, players to watch, goals of the week, best bets, and stuff you may have missed from off of the internet. It’s on! [flute solo] 10.55am: Fergie’s all upset about the state of Scottish football, it seems. (And no wonder; Hearts were abysmal last night, as good as Spurs were. From our people on the ground: Manchester United are playing Tottenham Hotspur on Monday and proud Scot Sir Alex Ferguson has just admitted he was surprised at the ease with which Spurs demolished Hearts in the Europa League first leg in Edinburgh. “I didn’t think they would win by that sort of score, the margin of victory was a surprise,” the United manager said of Spurs’ 5-0 away win. “They just had too much class for Hearts, even without Luka Modric. Class always tells in these situations, and Tottenham had so much more of it than Hearts.” 10.45am: OK, here’s the first job of the day for anyone who loves either football or social justice, and we all tick both boxes, no? The eejits at the Cabinet Office are opposing the full disclosure of documents relating to the Hillsborough disaster. Please, in the name of all that’s good and proper, put your name to this e-petition so its motion will automatically have to be heard by parliament. Here’s the obligatory celebrity angle: social networking’s Joey Barton is leading a Twitter campaign in support of the petition . 10.30am, and the first bit of breaking news on what promises to be a rollercoaster day (if your idea of freewheelin’ fun is staring at the Sky Sports News ticker until your eyes start spinning round in their sockets like the ball bearings in a washing machine drum): Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has been ruled out for four to five weeks with a calf injury, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed. The back four against Spurs on Monday could be an inexperienced Smalling-Jones-Evans-Evra. But then again, it is against Spurs, who haven’t won against United at home since 1872. Good morning, everyone. And welcome to our new weekly live football blog. We’ll keep you up to date with all the latest fixture news ahead of this weekend’s action, as well as breaking news and updates from the Premier League teams ahead of what is supposed to be the opening weekend of their season the second weekend of the season.

Short meeting is first between two, as relations show signs of thaw under new government Burma’s Aung San Suu Kyi met President Thein Sein on Friday, a government source said, the first meeting between the two and the latest olive branch from the army-backed regime that came to power this year after five decades of direct military rule. Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel peace prize-winner who spent 15 years in detention under the former military rulers for campaigning for democracy, flew to the capital, Naypyitaw, to meet Thein Sein, formerly a top general in the military regime. They met at the presidential palace, a senior official said, giving no details of the nature of the discussion but adding it was only a short meeting. It was the first visit by Aung San Suu Kyi to Naypyitaw, a city built five years ago on a mountain plateau about 205 miles (330km) north of Burma’s old capital and biggest city, Rangoon. Aung San Suu Kyi, 66, was released when her latest stint of house arrest expired last November, just after elections that were widely criticised as a sham. Thein Sein, who took office on 30 March, is regarded as one of the more moderate members of a new government that contains hardliners opposed to engagement with Aung San Suu Kyi. The military’s unbroken, 49-year grip on power officially ended in March, when the ruling State Peace and Development Council made way for a nominally civilian government led mostly by retired generals. The relationship between Aung San Suu Kyi and the military has long been frosty but the new government has in the past few weeks taken steps towards engagement by arranging two meetings with labour minister Aung Kyi. There have been other signs of change in recent weeks. Thein Sein called on Thursday for several armed ethnic rebel groups to hold peace talks with the government to end decades of hostilities. The government has also invited the International Monetary Fund to look at possible reforms to its currency system and a series of meetings have taken place between senior government officials and western delegations. Most analysts believe the openness being shown by Burma’s leaders is aimed in part at improving their image abroad with a view to ending decades of western sanctions and consolidating power at home. However, western countries insist embargoes will remain in place until an estimated 2,100 political prisoners are released. Aung San Suu Kyi Burma guardian.co.uk
