How to Set Up Email on a New Android Phone

Unless you rely on one of the majors like Yahoo and Gmail for email on your Android smartphone, one of the worst tasks in setting up a new device is surely configuring the email server. The key is to ignore the Android-device prompts for an automatic setup -- they won't work. Instead, plan to manually enter the data straightaway -- it's faster.

Step 1:  Open Outlook 2013 and choose the File tab. Then click or touch the Account Settings button and again, click or touch the resulting drop-down button.

Step 2:  In the resulting Change Account dialog box, double-click on the listed email account that you want to use on your phone. The account type, incoming and outgoing servers, and incoming logon information will be listed.

Step 3:  Choose the More Settings button on the dialog and then the Outgoing Server tab in order to see if the outgoing mail server is different from the incoming mail server listed in the previous step. Keep Outlook open.

Tip: Some, but not all, outgoing email servers use settings different from those of the incoming server.

Step 4:  Find the email setup area on your new Android 4.0 ("Ice Cream Sandwich") device by choosing Settings in the app drawer and then Accounts and Sync; then Add Account and then Email.

Tip: The newest Android operating system -- Android 4.4 "Kit Kat" -- sets up similarly.

Step 5:  Follow the syntax precisely to enter server data, obtained in the earlier steps, into the Android device's email setup menu. Use the Next prompt button to progress forward through screens.

Tip: Check the server syntax, password and User ID if the Android device can't connect to the server. Required ports can be found in Outlook's More Settings. Look for the Advanced tab and copy the port numbers listed there.

Pay attention to outgoing server-required SSL encryption, which will be listed in that Outlook tab too. Outgoing encryption is more prevalent than incoming.

Step 6:  On the last screen in the series of Android email setup prompts, choose the Android device's email account options such as inbox-checking frequency, default sending account, notification and syncing.

How to Make a Smartphone Projector for Less Than $5

There's nothing better than gathering up all the cushions, pillows, and blankets in your home and having a good ol' fashion movie night. But if you're still rocking the old 19-inch TV your parents gave you in college, you may want to upgrade to something bigger.

1. Get the magnifying glass out of the casing by any means necessary, which may require some pliers.

2. Line the glass up to the box, draw an outline of the glass with the sharpie, then draw an apex of each point of the outline. You could either draw out the size of the circle, or find something the same size as the magnifying glass and draw around that.

3. Carefully cut the outline of the circle out with the X-Acto knife. If your box happens to be black, you can color in the edges of the hole with the Sharpie to complete the look.

4. Place the magnifying glass in the circle on the inside of the box, making sure it is lined up perfectly with the hole, then hot-glue it in place.

5. Position your smartphone in by setting Play-Doh along the back of the box. If you want a more permanent holder and have a spare case for your phone, you could use Sugru to attach the case in the box, and then just snap your phone in and out of the case whenever you need it.

6. Be sure the the smartphone you have has the ability to lock it's orientation, because you'll need to place it in upside-down. Most smartphones these days, whether it's an iPhone or Android device, have screen rotation locks.

7. Play any video and enjoy your new projector!

For the best movie night experience, cut out a few holes in the back to connect to an audio cable in order to hear it from your speakers, and make sure to dim the lights. You can change focus by adjusting the position of your phone, but first try adjusting the position of the box relative to your wall.

You can also use a bigger magnifying glass for a bigger picture, as seen in this DIY guide, or you can go even bigger with a 50-inch screen and a more professional smartphone projector (though, a tablet will work better)

How'd it go for you? Snap a picture of your projector in action and share it with us in the comments below.

France forward Olivier Giroud has been right in emulating the soccer style god and the dapper man looks even more handsome this World Cup with his perfect Beckham-inspired mane. His neatly cut hair which is longish in middle & short on sides is quite a match with his charismatic face as it aptly accentuates his killer chin & cheekbones.

7. Afro (Marouane Fellaini)

Fellaini was a huge support for Belgium in this World Cup and was really instrumental to safeguard his country from Algeria shocker. But apart from the goals, Marouane’s fans also remember him for his unique Afro hairdo. It looks like a massive shockingly frizzy mane which stays undeterred even from gravitational pull. In fact, Fellaini’s hair-style is creating more news than his footwork these days.

6. Dreadlocks (Kyle Beckerman)

With such trademark dreadlocks, Kyle Beckerman looks more of a musician rather than a US midfielder. One glance at his Bob Marley inspired hair do would make one feel that he is just about to pull some strings, get high on a joint before starting on some great Marley numbers on field. The player says that it’s his laziness towards taming his curly knocks that resulted in this head turner hairstyle.

5. Mohawk & tribal patterns (Mario Balotelli)

The list of 2014 World’s best hairstyles would have stayed incomplete without any mention of Balotelli who has been one of the trendsetters in wacky hairstyles in football. Staying true to his conventional Mohawk, Balotelli loves to experiment with patterns, colors & hieroglyphics. Recently he has got intricate archaic tribal patterns neatly shaved into both sides of the head.

4. Mohawk & golden borders (Paul Pogba)

Fondly known as Europe’s Golden Boy, Pogba sports somewhat Balotelli-esque Mohawk with unique designs by the sides of head. His high Mohawk is bleached in golden near borders & he has got the undercuts patterned neatly as rows.

3. Golden 3 (Asamoah Gyan)

The Ghana professional is extremely smart in forwarding trend-setting hairstyles as much as he is sharp with his on-field antics. He too sports a Mohawk like most of the other stylish soccer stars but the uniqueness of his head is a “3” (jersey number) neatly shaved on one side of the head. To add on to the wacky style quotient, Gyan lately dyed up the “3” in pure golden celebrating the national flag of his country.

2. Long fringe (Neymar)

Every World Cup you will have scores and scores of youth lining up before salons emulating the unique hair-dos of the soccer style icons- and Neymar is surely one of the top most followed stars this year not only on the field but in the salons as well. The 22-year-old crowned prince of Brazil soccer sports quite a peppy and funky hairstyle with longish fringe on top, middle and end of his head while the sides are neatly shaven.

1. Supportive Scar (Cristiano Ronaldo)

His gelled faux-hawk look has always been a winner & it is never disheveled even while he’s tearing down the defenses or is under attack by defenders. Recently, his hair-do has taken a distinct zig-zag look, smartly shaved by the side. The top & middle of the head is rich with thick mop but you will notice a fine parting on the shaved side. Portugal’s pretty captain is not simply talented on-field but he has a golden heart as well- the scar-like parting mark on his head was in support for some young lad whose brain-tumor surgery left such a similar scar on the head.

Top 10 Best Performers Of FIFA World Cup 2014

The World Cup 2014 has been quite an eventful journey so far with many stellar performances & tragic knock-outs. Here is a list on top 10 best footballers of 2014 World Cup.

10. Dries Mertens (Belgium)

Mertens certainly deserves a place in this top 10 list of best performing players of World Cup 2014 even when he has scored a single goal in this World Cup till now. It’s not just the goals that determine a player’s significance in the team but also his score-timing especially when the team is under pressure. It was Dries’ goal by end of the nail-biting Belgium V Algeria match that enabled the Belgians to rejoice in victory.

9. Thomas Muller (Germany)

No matter whichever defines the significance of a footballer in his team- whether it’s the goals or courage or intelligence on-field –Thomas Muller has been a top name for all the mentioned parameters. Muller has earned much accolades especially for his hat-trick goal in the Germany-Portugal match & was also a lone winner I the USA match that steered Germany smoothly to the Group of 16.

8. James Rodriguez (Colombia) 

Rodriguez has been quite a consistent goal scorer for Colombia in this World Cup as he was able to score in each of matches participated. A great lot of British clubs were hesitant over this Colombian mid-fielder that even forced him to head for Monaco leaving Porto behind but his exceptional 2014 World Cup stints have most possibly troubled the English clubs over their judgments about James. His great assistance in the Japan match helped his team with an easy rise to next round.

7. Karim Benzema (France)

The Frenchman is another top performer in the ongoing 2014 World Cup. Karim came up with 3 goals in 3 matches which catapulted France to the 1st status in E group. Yes, he missed out a penalty in the Switzerland match but his clinical finishing has been truly impressive.

6. Joel Campbell (Costa Rica)

Joel was the great match winner for Costa Rica against its Uruguay match by his much needed goal & strong performance as an assist. Campbell is surely one of the treasured assets for his national football team at this World Cup and is the most instrumental figure in elevating Costa Rica to the Group of 16.

5. Alexis Sanchez (Chile)

The Chile player is surely one of the most trusted performers for his national team this World Cup. His great goal in the Australia match was quite a big thing for Chile. Moreover, he has been the consistent threat to the Spanish armada this time and was a crucial figure in assuring adieu for the defending champs in 2014 FIFA World edition.

4. Guillermo Ochoa (Mexico)

Ochoa is undoubtedly one among the best of goalkeepers in the 2014 World Cup so far. His one after another savings from star goal scorers like Thiago & Neymar in the Brazil match was really significant for his team’s rising point chart in the competition.

3. Arjen Robben (Netherlands) 

It’s not for anything that Arjen Robben is fondly nicknamed as “Flying Dutchman”- he has actually shone legendary skills in effortlessly sprinting down wing past the defenders. The thirty year old Dutch winger is currently the best man-in-form for the Dutch squad. Robben was a grand influence for his national team in all the 2014 World Cup matches played by Netherlands so far, especially in the matches against Chile, Spain & Australia.

2. Neymar (Brazil)

Neymar has been a great performer for Brazil consistently in all the World Cup 2014 matches and is one of those rare footballers in this World Cup who has scored doubles in 2 matches- one on the inaugural game against Croatia & another against Cameroon. At just 22, Neymar is no doubt one among the most valiant performers as he has shown tremendous courage in carrying on his stellar play even after being badly beaten up in almost every match. His wining penalty shoot-out against Chile match even after being badly battered by the opponents was quite a moment in this championship.

1.Messi (Argentina)

Messi is surely the unrivalled choice for the numero uno position in the list. He has been the consistent goal scorer for Argentina in all the 2014 World Cup matches – and maybe Leo is the only player who can make other players trip without even touching them. The most priceless gem for the Argentine team Messi is also the consistent “Man of the Match” winner in every World match participated by Argentina this year. Leo’s free-kick goal in the Nigeria match was one of the best moments for his team.
