Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is the best Rubik's brand cube out of the box.
In this video I show it in the box, then immediately out of the box (no lube), then how it operates after some Jig-a-loo, and then after it's been broken in for a while.
In order:
Not even out of box
Just out of box
Just out of box + lube
3 months old + lube
All are Mr. Magorium's cubes from Amazon.com for about $8

Solving the Middle Layer
When you form the T, the color of the bottom T piece should inform you which algorithm to perform.
If the bottom piece of the T needs to fill the edge on the right, you do the 'right' alg. If it needs to fill the one on the left, you do the 'left' alg.
i.e. - A blue T with an orange piece on the bottom, you perform the "right" alg. If it is red on the bottom, you perform the "left" alg.
(with cross on top)
LEFT ALG - D L D' L' D' F' D F
RIGHT ALG - D' R' D R D F D' F'
This is how I was taught to recognize this step of LBL.
Sorry for the horrible images. Phone pictures.
