Review: Srident reselling SD2Vita 3.0 adapters – Finally looks like a Vita cartridge!
Update: It's been brought to my attention that these SD2Vita adapters are exactly like the ones you find on eBay and Srident is just a reseller. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Sections 2 & 3 are mostly valid for SD2Vita 3.0 adapters sold by others found on eBay.
When in last July the first adapters were being shipped out, there was one question on many people's mind: "When will we get an adapter that's in a nice case?". Well, now, after a couple of months, an evolution of the SD2Vita adapter has occurred and Srident has decided to produce some adapters for us all!
Note from Aurora: This review will not be following the format of my previous 2 SD2Vita adapter reviews but will employ an updated format with a small summary to read at the end of every section.
I. Packaging and Postage
Postage: When it comes to postage, Srident is still using France's excellent La Poste. This means that shipping can be kept cheap while ensuring a fast service. To arrive in my Southern European country of residence from France, the adapter only took 4 days (Thursday -> Monday) which is much better than the usual 2-4 weeks it takes for goods shipped from China to arrive. The charge for shipping is €1.20 for ALL countries. The adapter should arrive in a few days in most of Europe and in about 1-2 weeks in America (depending whether it's on the East/West Coast and how long
it's stuck in customs for).
Packaging and Package contents: My adapter came in a somewhat large (A5) padded envelope and in my opinion, it had ample protection while being shipped. The adapter also comes in a small plastic case which can be used to store it safely if you're not using it for whatever reason. My only gripe is that you don't get a piece of paper that provides a brief explanation on how to install and use the adapter along with some links where you could contact Srident if you have any issues.
Section performance: Grade A- / The postage and the way it's packed is really good but I'd personally like to see some sheet of paper (even if it's half an A4 sheet printed on both sides!)
II. Design and Appearance
Quite understandably, the most important thing in this adapter over the v1 (PCB) adapters is the design. In this section, a brief account of some visual aspects will be given.
Material and build quality: The material is some type of hard plastic that feels pretty sturdy in the hands. As for the how the plastic is cut, a good job was done as the edges aren't rough and a nice aesthetic is given off by the cuttings on the back. This adapter has a spring that lets you know you properly inserted it in the game card slot so no more playing around with the adapter for it to fit in.
Outwardly appearance: On the front, there are the words "Vita Adapter" in red along with a small graphic of the triangle, circle, cross and square that represent the PSVita's face buttons. There is an arrow on the front of the adapter which lets you know which way you should insert the adapter in, which is a pretty nice touch in my opinion. Just in case you hadn't noticed, the adapter looks like an original PSVita game cartridge.
Originality: This adapter looks *exactly* like SD2Vita 3.0 adapters sold on other marketplaces such as eBay which is something that annoys me a little bit. In my opinion, the adapter should've had "Srident" written on it somewhere and maybe an image of the HENkaku Enso logo on the back to give it a more authentic feeling so that it screams "created by and for the community". My suggestions (or any other visible design changes) would differentiate the adapter from the adapters one can find from China and make it more unique.
A word on opening the adapter: I advise against opening the adapter since it may not hold together very well after closing it (it's composed of 2 separate pieces of plastic) and the gold connectors on the back may not be properly aligned with the Vita's game card slot.
Section performance: Grade B / The design is quite nice and appealing but I personally think that Srident should've given it a unique touch.
III. Functionality
One of the most important important aspects when buying a product is how well it works. This section is here to describe just that.
First and foremost, this adapter uses a modified SD2Vita board design that's based on 'xyzz"s original design. Srident is not the person behind the new board design so any problems and questions regarding the actual PCB itself should not be directly directed to him. In order for the PCB to fit in the plastic Vita cartridge-esque case, it's pretty thin but there should be no issue with that since you won't be opening your adapter up.
The adapter still works at 5MB/s which, according to Srident, is a limitation of the game card slot's hardware. This is fast enough for all operations on the PSVita and it's the same speed as when using the Vita memory card when it comes to loading times.
Srident's SD2Vita 3.0 adapter (and other SD2Vita adapters) have the following features:
- SD2Vita adapters slot in the Vita's game card slot. This means that they can be used on Vita 1000 Wi-Fi, Vita 1000 Wi-Fi+3G and Vita 2000 models as long as they're on firmware version 3.60. They also probably work with PSTVs but external USB storage is, in most cases, a better medium for them.
- They can be mounted as ux0 or uma0 by using different plugins.
- The write speed is about 5MB/s when copying a 200MB file from the Vita's memory card which is pretty decent considering the Vita doesn't need blazing fast speeds to function well.
- SD2Vita 3.0 adapters have a nice case that lets you easily take them out and put them back in if you wish to use official Vita game cartridges. Do keep in mind that you can't hot-swap SD2Vita adapters with other SD2Vita adapters or normal game carts.
- microSD cards up to 200GB are reported to work without any issues. 256GB are said not to work that well by some so you should stick to 200GB cards as a maximum. You shouldn't need more than 200GB for your Vita anyway.
Section performance: Grade A / The adapter works exactly as you would expect and that is very well. I have been using the adapter daily for 5 days and I had 0 issues with it whatsoever. Compared to v1 adapters, SD2Vita 3.0 ones rarely, if ever, don't function because they're not put in correctly since it's hard to mess up!
IV. Website and payment method
Website: Srident's website is pretty simple and straightforward. It has a clean design which lets you access what you want without any extra clutter. The website can probably be set up for more products so Srident could easily sell different colours/designs of the adapter on the same website. You may also read some short reviews of the adapter from approved buyers if you wish. My main gripe about the website is that it doesn't have a proper page that tells you how to set the adapter up while providing some more information about it. The 'blog' section does have a link on how to set it up but the linked website is in Japanese which means it's useless to a pretty large share of his buyers.
Payment method: The adapter isn't on eBay/Amazon so you must buy it through Srident's market place website. That being said, it's still pretty easy to do it and the payment processor used is PayPal which means you could easily request buyer protection. That being said, I doubt you will need PayPal to step in after reading the next section: After-sales service.
Section performance: Grade B+ / The website is pretty decent but it's quite lacking when it comes to how much information is given on the adapter and how to set it up. That being said, this article can be used as reference as to what the adapter itself actually is. The payment method is one of the most, if not the most, secure payment methods and one you should have no issues with.
V. After-sales service and price
How complains/issues are handled: If you have any problems, you can contact Srident on Twitter or via e-mail. In my opinion, the best way to contact him is through Twitter since he responds within a few hours (or immediately if he's on) and you could find a solution in one session rather than with a lot of messages floating around (like on eBay). He's been quite quick to respond to any of my questions and we discussed how he handles customers' issues; I reached a conclusion that he is to be trusted and will work with you towards a solution if your claim makes sense.
Warranty and DOA devices: Srident tests a decent amount of his adapters when they arrive but you may still receive a damaged one since things can always find a way to wrong. If that happens, Srident will be happy to send you a replacement if you show him video proof of the issue. When it comes to warranty, the adapter should be covered for a reasonable amount of time so if it breaks after a few weeks or possibly months (which it shouldn't), Srident will send you a replacement if they're still in stock.
Pricing: The adapter costs €11.70 and the shipping costs €1.20. This means that it will cost a total of €12.90 which, in my opinion, is a good price considering the great product and after-sales service you'll be getting. All prices are in Euro.
Section performance: Grade A+ / Srident has had many satisfied customers and he's always been quick to step in if legitimate issues arise!
VI. Conclusion
The final grade that I give the adapter is Grade A- and that is because it has some little shortcomings in places. I am personally satisfied with it and will be using it for years to come unless it breaks! To get one of his great adapters for yourself, visit the link below!
Should you buy it if you already have a v1 adapter?: Unless you wish to use your official Vita game cartridges, I personally don't see a reason why. That being said, it's a good adapter to buy if you don't have a v1 adapter because you didn't have a use for it back then (for example if you have a large Vita memory card). From a different perspective,the Christmas season is coming so it's a good way to buy some cheap storage for a PSVita you may wish to give as a present!
If you wish to only read a quick summary, just read the section summaries together and the conclusion!

Whenever a cop kills a black or Latino in Oakland, that cesspool of crime, there are mass demonstrations demanding justice for the deceased. But there are never any demonstrations against black and Latino hoodlums who consistently go about killing other blacks and Latinos.
By Tammerlin Drummond
Oakland Tribune
October 8, 2012
There are places where the police department exists in name only. Criminals are free to rob and shoot people with no fear of repercussions. When I worked in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in the mid- and late '90s, there was no 911 to call for help. People who could afford it hired bodyguards to protect their persons and security guards with AK-47s to protect their homes and businesses because it was their only defense against armed criminals.
What does that have to do with Oakland? Look around. We already have security "ambassadors" -- private cops essentially -- patrolling downtown. Thugs who clearly feel emboldened to shoot their rivals in broad daylight on public streets with no concern whatsoever for other people getting hurt and no fear of getting prosecuted.
This past week was a bonanza for the funeral business in Oakland.
Five men were shot and killed in the streets of East Oakland within one 18-hour period on Monday and Tuesday. "Targeted," according to the police. As opposed to random victims, which would have been the case had the bullets from one of those shootings that struck a passing car carrying a woman and her 14-year-old daughter not continued on its evil path without harming them.
On Thursday, city officials and community leaders convened a news conference at Oakland Police Department headquarters to discuss the "spike" in violence. That would be the spike on top of all of the previous spikes that have led us to where we are today -- 95 killings as of this writing.
A collection of city officials -- including Mayor Jean Quan, City Council President Larry Reid and City Administrator Deanna Santana -- attended the news conference, which was essentially a photo op.
Oakland police Chief Howard Jordan once again called upon residents to come forward with information -- anonymously -- that can help investigators solve scores of open homicides.
The one useful bit of information was that police unveiled a new anonymous tip system called Nixle "Tip Watch." Crime witnesses can text TIP OAKLAND PD to 888777.
According to OPD, the identity of the sender is not known to OPD or Nixle because it is encrypted.
The real question is, how do we get from, "Oh, it's just those people killing each other as usual" or people from the affected communities believing that the life of a young black or Latino man shot and killed in the street still has value even if a police officer was not the one who pulled the trigger.
There is a hue and cry every time the independent monitor releases another damning report about OPD, as he did this past week, alleging Oakland police officers shoot suspects without cause but far fewer protests over the mounting body count in the streets.
On Tuesday, I went to the Oakland City Council meeting.
It was insanity. Police had barred the doors to council chambers to block access to hundreds of people who turned out to protest the May 6 police killing of Skyline High School senior Alan Blueford. "Anarchists" and remnants of Occupy Oakland have seized upon Blueford's shooting as a means of promoting their anti-police agenda.
Blueford's attorney, John Burris, had already received the police report that the protesters were raising such hell about earlier that day. So the lengthy disruption of City Council business was an entirely moot exercise.
As these people -- many of them not even from Oakland -- screamed about "justice for Alan Blueford," I thought about the 5-year-old boy in East Oakland who was shot in the neck while he walked down the sidewalk to get an ice cream. Gabriel Martinez Jr., 5, whose killer is still on the loose.
A friend who witnessed a shooting in front of her house several weeks ago that left her traumatized.
Don't get me wrong. I think the police bungled the release of information in Blueford's case, which led to the current fiasco.
But my point is this: Nothing is going to change in Oakland until the people living in African-American and Latino neighborhoods ravaged by the violence -- as well as outsiders from Piedmont and the like who profess to care so much about black men being shot and killed -- start holding killers who are not cops accountable.
That would be the 99 percent.

How To Module
These are some basic steps for writing a NodeJS module.
Most of the suggestions in this document are optional. You can definitely write your program however you like, and many in the node community enjoy trying out new creative ways of doing things.
This is merely a set of patterns that noders have found to work for them and their projects.
Use Git
Most people in the node community use git for all their version control needs. It is an extremely powerful and robust tool. If you don't already use it, you should.
Don't wait until your program is "ready" before using git on it! Run
git init in the root of your project folder right away, and commit
your changes as you make them. It is a good habit, and can help avoid a
lot of painful mishaps.
If you wish to share your program with others, then github is also a tremendously useful resource that most nodejs developers use.
A package.json File
Create a file in the root of your program named
package.json. This
file is a json description of what's in your project. If you're just
writing a standalone server or website that isn't intended to ever be
shared, then this is not strictly necessary, but it still does make some
things more convenient.
If you plan to publish your program and let others install it using npm, then a package.json file is essential.
You can specify in this file:
- Name, version, description, and keywords to describe your program.
- A homepage where users can learn more about it.
- Other packages that yours depends on.
If you have installed npm, then you can use the
npm init command to get started. See
npm help json for lots of
information about everything you can put in this file.
If you are writing a program that is intended to be used by others, then
the most important thing to specify in your
package.json file is the
main module. This is the module that is the entry point to your
Documenting your dependencies is really handy. It is a very polite practice if you are going to share this program with others, and it provides a lot of useful techniques if you are deploying it somewhere.
README, and other docs
Put basic entry-level documentation about your program in a README file in the root of your project.
If you enjoy the markdown format, you can write it in markdown, and save the file as README.md.
Seriously, do this! Even if you think you'll never have users, history teaches us that you'll go off and forget what this thing is for, and then come back to it and curse yourself for not documenting it even a little.
So document it. Even a little.
If you feel so inclined, it's also a great idea to put documentation in
a folder called
./docs. Markdown files should end in
.md and html
should end in
There is a ton of information out there convincing you about the importance of testing and documentation. I don't have to tell you how important that is. It's really important, and that should be obvious. Do it.
What's not quite so obvious is how you should go about doing this.
First of all, testing.
There is no single way that all node modules get tested. The node program itself uses a python-based system that runs all the JS files in a particular directory. Most of those files just throw if they find an error, and since the tests are very low-level, that is a good system.
Other projects find it useful to use test harnesses like vows or expresso. Whatever testing option you go with, it's worth it. Write tests.
If you are writing a re-usable program that you want to distribute to
others, you should also add
"scripts":{"test":"run some program"} to
your package.json file. What that lets you do is
npm test my-program
to run the command you specify.
Plans are underway to do interesting things with the test scripts and doc directories of packages that get published to the npm registry.
What kind of thing are you making?
Generally, node modules fall into these rough categories:
- A binding to some C or C++ library.
- A library of functionality to be used in other node programs, written primarily in JavaScript.
- A command-line program.
- A website or server or something. (That is, an implementation that you'll put on an actual server, not a framework.)
There is a lot of overlap in these categories. A thing doesn't have to be just one sort of thing.
Writing a Binding
Typically, C++ source code is put in a subdirectory of your project
./src. C++ files usually have the extension
.cc. C files
usually have the extension
Generally, the simplest and best approach is to put the minimum necessary effort into the C++ layer, and then make the functions "nice" by wrapping a JavaScript layer around the raw binding.
Node programs use the included
node-waf program to compile. Create a
wscript file with the appropriate rules in it, and then run
node-waf configure build to build your module.
Use the
eio thread pool to do any actions that perform synchronous
I/O. Note that v8 constructs may not be used on the thread pool, so
data types must be passed into the sync code blocks as eio_request
See these examples to get started building a binding that leverages eio and node-waf:
Example hello-world-ish programs:
- https://github.com/pkrumins/node-png
- https://github.com/mranney/node_pcap
- https://github.com/ry/node_postgres
- https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob
Writing a Library
If you have a lot of JavaScript code, then the custom is to put it in
./lib folder in your project.
Specify a
main module in your package.json file. This is the module
that your users will load when they do
require('your-library'). This
module should ideally expose all of the functionality in your library.
If you want your users to be able to load sub-modules from the "guts" of your library, then they'll need to specify the full path to them. That is a lot of work to document! It's better and more future-proof to simply specify a main module, and then, if necessary, have ways to dynamically load what they need.
For example, you might have a
flip library that is a collection of
widget objects, defined by files in the
flip/lib/widgets/*.js files.
Rather than having your users do
to get the blerg widget, it's better to have something like:
Of course, a library may also include a build step that compiles an add-on that it uses.
Since libraries take so many different shapes for different purposes, there isn't really a single way to do it.
- https://github.com/learnboost/Socket.IO-node
- http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore
- https://github.com/visionmedia/connect
- https://github.com/mikeal/request
- http://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom
Writing a Command Line Program
The only feature that differentiates a command-line program from a
library is the
bin field in the package.json file.
When installed with npm, the
bin field in a package.json file tells
npm to create an executable in the PATH that runs your program.
In a nodejs script, the
process.argv is an array of strings that
represent the command the user started node with. The first item is
always node, and the second is always your program. Generally, the
arguments to your program can be retrieved via:
var args = process.argv.slice(2)
There are a variety of option parsing libraries available via npm.
The current working directory can be found by calling
and changed with
- http://npmjs.org/
- https://github.com/zpoley/json-command
- https://github.com/cloudhead/vows
- https://github.com/LearnBoost/cluster
Writing a Standalone Server
This is probably the most "normal" node programming model. You just want to use these modules, and most likely have no intention of distributing it for others.
To be most effective, it's often a good idea to avoid trying to
re-invent sections of your program that can be accomplished using
others' modules. npm is a wonderfully helpful tool here. If you're
planning on using Redis in your site, you can do
npm ls redis to look
for modules that might provide bindings to it.
Also, the npm search site is extremely
helpful. There, you can search using the same keyword greps as
npm ls, but it also shows which packages depend on which other ones, the
dates of previous releases, the owner information, and so on.
It's very important, when designing your program, to consider where you
are planning on deploying it, and how. Joyent has a node hosting
service at http://no.de/. When you push your code to the no.de site,
it will automatically restart the server by running the
server.js file
in the root of your project. So, it's a good idea to make that your
entry point.
No matter where you decide to deploy your program,
any dependencies that you place in a
node_modules folder in the root
of your program will be loaded as if they are native modules. So, if
you drop the
redis package into
./node_modules/redis then you could
require('redis') in your program to load it. This makes it very
easy to re-use code, while still keeping the tested versions of your
dependencies with your code.
Don't forget...
The node community is growing fast, and welcomes your struggles and experience. If you run into troubles, jump in the #node.js IRC channel on irc.freenode.net, or ask on the nodejs mailing list.
If you build something useful, publish it with npm, and tell people about it.
Have fun!

kocozze, I have some solutions for you, but first I must say that you have framed your question somewhat strangely;
you asked about "the" equalizer option, as if it's a "given" that such a thing exists (it doesn't)
and you implied some sort of association with Foobar (there is none).
At the outset it should be understood that MPD is a back end application, and any audio effects are probably better implemented by the client application ... or to be really accurate; by the media renderer application.
We should also be mindful that idolse is not the developer of MPD, but he has answered some very specialised questions about the inner workings of MPD, for which I'm grateful.
The developer of MPD is Max Kellermann, and when I did a web search for information on this subject, I found some references which indicate that Max is somewhat disinterested in equalization as a feature!
As an audiophile, so am I.
These issues aside, equalization in Linux is generally enabled within the audio driver processing chain (ALSA in most cases) via plugins.
Traditionally this would be with LADSPA, or its updated equivalent, LV2.
For LADSPA, Steve Harris' collection of plugins includes the "mbeq" multi band EQ plugin
Or for LV2, the best plugin I could find is EQ10Q
But I also came across an elegant solution using the official ALSA equalization plugin, explained in the "EXTRA SOUND OPTIONS" section here -
This has the neat advantage of having a GUI ready-to-use in Puppy in the form of alsamixer.
Unfortunately, however, I think Puppy's version of ALSA would need to be recompiled with this support enabled.
Bottom line: your easiest option would be to install the LV2 library package, then install the EQ10Q plugin.

support built into the wizards, alsa equalizer handling updated
OK, I just saw that one of idolse's updates includes the ALSA equalization plugin (5th post in this thread). That's impressive.
So according to the instructions in the crunchbanglinux link I mentioned, you first need to activate the plugin by;
- modifying Puppy's ALSA configuration file
- modifying the MPD configuration file
- then adjust EQ settings with alsamixer, after launching it as such -
alsamixer -D equal

Hi Idolse.
I am usually using MPD on Debian minimal. In the beginning I used a lot of time to toy around with all the usual tweaks, and also some of the more extreme ones. Writing scripts, tweaking the OS to my liking, it took quite a while to get the basics right. Nowadays, I usually spend time listening to music, but now and then I might try a new setting. I always had a separate a dirty linux install to do the experiments and compile, and to keep the clean install as light weight as possible.
Since Linux is mostly a b**** for normal people who just want to experience good sound, part of the goal was to see if it was possible to make a Universal Live USB that my friends could just pop in their computers and it would work right away *without* any setup at all. The only limitation is that the network music share is predefined. So kinda like MPDpup, just a tad simpler. Believe it or not, even MPDPup is too difficult for some people to grasp. In the meantime, they use their Macs and Windowses with their Jrivers, Pure Music, Audirvana and Amarras, hallujahing to tiny sound differences. But not realising the *real* sound improvement won't come before they turn to a dedicated Linux install of some sorts. I guess the point of making MPDPup was the same, to advocate the use/sound of MPD/Linux and in turn make it easy to set up.
Recently, I said to myself: "I'm reaaaaaally satisfied with the sound now". So as an insanity check I decided to try out MPDPup. For the past days I've tried v093, and I just gotta say: What a excellent piece of software. The installation took a few minutes and then it just works. This is really great.
Now the bad news: Unfortunately I think the sound quality right out of the box is nowhere near what really is possible. The bass is muddy and compressed, the highs are neither finegrained or extended as it should, the midrange is veiled and not transparent. Do not take this audio-language the wrong way, it does sound pretty good right out the box. But I'm sure MPDPup has potential for much more, may I suggest to take a look at it's sound quality for the next release? Everything else seems to work great, so no need to update what isn't broken. Normal people don't want to muck around in "DOS-mode", so to have really great sound quality right out of the box would be a tremendous feature.
ps. MPDPup is also approxx 3 times slower when refreshing the local cache to my mPod/mPad than my own install. Voyage MPD also has this problem. I think it is a kernel thing.
ps2. Shairport is now rewritten in C so no more Perl dependencies, so should be easy to include in next MPDPup release. But there is this issue: https://github.com/abrasive/shairport/issues/244

Post subject: Alix 2d3
Many thanks for replies on the equalization environment, i'll try soon your suggestion.
Now i have a alix 2d3 in wich i wish to install mpdpup. I have no idea to how do this (i'm very newbie in linux). There's a step by step description? I have a 8 gb cf card, wich other hardware and cable i need to works fine with my new board (there's no vga output)? Sorry but i have very need of your help and my english (you see) is bad!

Hey Kocozze,
I run it on an Alix 2d2.
Easiest I can think of is look at the 0.92a thread, will run this from memory.
Download unetbootin, load the CF card so you can see it in your normal file setup. You may need a usb card reader, I do on my HP laptop. Save the file in the cf card as per instructions.
Place the cf card in the board and start it. Allow minimum full minute before trying to login. Will need to have it on ethernet so you can login via the next step. Sometimes it takes longer than a minute to fire up, I'm still working on getting the LED's to run proper.
Download Putty, from memory type tunes.local in the address bar. I think it will ask for login/password, root/puppy.
From there the wizard shows up. When you do a restart the first time allow 20mins for the library etc to come up. It doesnt take this long usually, but be prepared for a wait.
Let me know how you go.
Wlowes in the other thread has some mods too.

This is from the front page, have you tried it in the wizard? I am looking to keep everything off the usb bus but the dac, I am no whiz with this stuff, just learning as I go!
Storage Configuration
The first dialog will ask you whether your audio is stored locally or via a network share.
Network Share
The CIFS configuration dialogs will ask you for various details regarding your network share, be prepared with IP address, user/pass, share name, and music directory.
If the root of the share is above your Music library then enter the sub-folder 'Music Root Directory'. Be sure to get the case correct. If the Music library is the root of the share then leave that box blank.
You'll then get a chance to confirm and test these settings. Go through those options, and if the test fails you can go back and change the settings.
Local Storage
Note local storage support is new and the audio directory currently limited to a separate drive or partition from the boot device.
The boot drive and music storage drive should also be on separate system buses (e.g. SATA for boot and USB for storage)
The local storage wizard will have you select a drive and subdirectory where your audio data is located.

the wizard in CLIENT mode (alix don't have a video card) ask me if my music is stored in network share or in local storage, but if i selected "local storage" appears the page configuration of network share!
I think maybe the alix do not "see" the usb hard disk, but with fdisk -l it appears as device sdb1. If i try to mount it, it appears the message i write in the recent posts...

Whenever a major new tech product gets released, I hear from a lot of folks who want to know whether they should make the leap. And as you'd expect, that question has come up in spades with Wednesday's launch of Apple's latest iPad.
On Twitter, in email, in hallway conversations, I must have been asked at least two dozen times about buying one. The question mostly came from people who have either the original or the iPad 2. Interestingly, when I heard from first-timers, they weren't asking me about buying it – they were telling me they were going to.
If you're trying to make up your mind about whether to shell out at least $500 for the new iPad, here are some things to consider, depending on your current tablet status:
If you own an original iPad
If you bought one of the first iPads, upgrading to the newest model makes a lot of sense. While the iPad 2 had a brighter screen, was thinner and noticeably faster, it wasn't enough of a leap to justify a purchase for original iPad owners. But I think the newest iPad is the leap most iPad 1 owners have been waiting for.
I do a lot of reading on my original iPad, and have always been irritated at the jagged quality of text on the display. The new iPad dramatically improves the way text appears, which should make reading easier on the eyes. If you're a heavy reader, the 2,048-by-1,536-pixel display will make a huge difference.
If you play games on your original iPad, the faster graphics and processor should improve that experience as well. I've tried out the same games on an iPad 2 and my original iPad, and the difference in playability is noticeable. It should be even more so with this newest model.
If you've been jealous of your iPad 2 brethren's ability to take photos and video (some apps won't even install on the iPad 1 because it doesn't have a camera ), then here's your chance to catch up. The new iPad not only has a camera, but it's as good as that on the iPhone 4S, which is considered one of the best smartphone cameras.
Finally, there's connectivity. I bought a Wi-Fi-only model of the original iPad, figuring I'd be around Wi-Fi enough that I would not want or need the extra expense of 3G, even though it's sold on a non-contract basis for iPads. While I've suffered only minor inconvenience as a result of this decision, when I ordered a new iPad on Wednesday, I opted for a white model that connects to Verizon's LTE network.
Having tried LTE on several Android smartphones and through a MiFi, I'm impressed enough with its speed to know that it should have a profound impact on the experience of using connected apps. In Houston, LTE on both AT&T and Verizon's 4G networks often allows for download speeds north of 30 Mbps, which is a lot faster than most folks' home broadband connections. So long as you're in a location that has LTE service, using apps that rely on a data connection should provide an almost seamless experience, given the fluidity of iOS. I'm really looking forward to this aspect of the device.
If you own an iPad 2
This is a much tougher decision to make.
If you do a lot of reading and find the iPad 2's text display lacking (it's the same resolution as the original iPad), then the new model may be enticing. Still, it's at least $500 being spent a year or less after you paid for your current device. If I owned an iPad 2, I probably would not pull the trigger just yet.
The iPad 2 has front and rear cameras, and for taking stills and video, the rear camera is notoriously bad. While it seemed counterintuitive that people would use something as big as an iPad to take photos or capture video, you see a LOT of owners at events holding these 9.7-inch tablets aloft to do so. If you're frustrated with the camera's quality, the improvement here is a good argument for buying.
LTE may also be a draw if you find yourself wanting speedier Internet access when Wi-Fi isn't available. The browser on the iPad 2 is quite zippy, but it can be a balky experience if you're using it on 3G. But as I outlined in the original iPad section, this will only be compelling if you need constant connectivity, and Wi-Fi-only isn't cutting it for you.
For gamers, it's also a tough call. The higher resolution and faster graphics processor means better-looking games, but these diversions already look great and play smoothly on the iPad 2. You may want to wait until you can lay hands on a friend's new iPad before making this call.
Overall, if I was an iPad 2 owner, I'd likely wait for the 2013 model, if only because I would have just shelled out the cash.
If you don't have an iPad, but want one
If you've been putting off the purchase of an iPad, this model fixes enough of the gripes of users who owned the first two that it's probably worth making the leap. Many would-be buyers are holding off for features that Apple probably will never add, so if you're waiting for a USB port, an SD card slot and folder-based access to the file system . . . time to move on and pick up an Android tablet.
Otherwise, this model is probably going to be gold standard for tablets for at least a year. If you've been waiting for an iPad that pulls everything together into one fast, fluid package, this is likely to be it.
Bonus question: What about the discounted iPad 2?
Apple's keeping the 16-GB version of the iPad 2 (in both 3G and Wi-Fi-only models) around at $100 off the original price. That may make it compelling to those on a budget who haven't yet bought a tablet. However, $399 is still $399, and it's a lot more than the $199 that Amazon's asking for the Kindle Fire. If you can afford it, the iPad 2 is a better all-around product, and I'd recommend it over the Fire.
However, if $399 is too rich for you, and if you're a regular buyer of Amazon's products, the Fire is a great bargain, and recent software updates have largely fixed its original speed and usability problems. If you're thinking about a discounted iPad 2, you owe it to yourself to find someone with a Fire and play with it before making your decision.
Frankly, I think the biggest market for the legacy iPad 2 is going to be businesses, many of whom are adopting the iPad for employees' mobile use. The enterprise isn't going to be drawn to a higher-resolution screen, LTE or a killer camera, so keeping the iPad 2 around is really Apple's way at continuing its invasion of the corporate world. Watch for companies to snatch these up in big numbers.
Update: Verizon says it will enable the Personal Hotspot feature on those new iPads that talk to its LTE network at no additional charge, according to BGR. All three plans – including its cheapest, 1 gigabyte for $20 – will allow users to tether other devices via the Personal Hotspot. AT&T is still "working with Apple" to enable the feature.

Obama offers praise, complaints for Republicans
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama needled a GOP senator Tuesday, then praised Republicans working to solve the immigration riddle. He pledged to re-engage with Congress to close the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, then decried the intractability of Congress. He cast Republicans as potential allies, then criticized their obstruction.
When it comes to his relations with Congress, President Barack Obama is a man of two minds.
"It comes as no surprise, not even to the American people but even members of Congress themselves, that right now things are pretty dysfunctional up on Capitol Hill," Obama said during a news conference marking the 100th day of his second term. "Despite that, I'm actually confident that there are a range of things that we're going to be able to get done."
The limits of Obama's success with Congress have dogged his presidency since Republicans won control of the House in 2010. A fiscal "grand bargain" containing tax increases and long-term spending reductions has eluded him. The automatic budget cuts that he once vowed "will not happen," kicked in March 1. His push to win an expansion of background checks for buyers of firearms succumbed in the Senate.
During his 47-minute appearance in the White House briefing room, Obama's answers illustrated the complicated and sometimes contradictory approach he has taken in his dealings with lawmakers.
At one point, he complimented Republican senators with whom he has met, saying they appear to have a "genuine desire" to get beyond the gridlock of Washington. Yet moments before, he offered a scornful response to an assertion by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., that national security protections have deteriorated since he became president.
"Graham is not right on this issue," Obama said, "although I'm sure he generated some headlines."
He was dismissive when a questioner asked: "Do you still have the juice to get the rest of your agenda through this Congress?"
"If you put it that way," he told ABC's Jonathan Karl, "maybe I should just pack up and go home. Golly."
Paraphrasing Mark Twain, he added: "Rumors of my demise may be a little exaggerated at this point."
He pointed to efforts to overhaul immigration law, applauding the work of a bipartisan group of senators who have proposed a bill that in addition to calling for a secure border would create a path toward citizenship for 11 million immigrants illegally in the country. He said he has had "some good conversations" with Republican senators on the consequences of the current budget cuts, known as "sequestration" in budget terms, and insisted that the solution requires Democrats and Republicans to compromise.
Obama's response was reminiscent of -- though less defensive than -- one given by President Bill Clinton in 1995 when he was forced to declare that "the president is still relevant." It was arguably one of the lowest points in Clinton's presidency up to that moment. All that changed the following day when domestic terrorists blew up the Oklahoma City federal building, and Clinton re-established himself as a national leader.
Obama, who has had to play a similar role in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings and a deadly fertilizer plant explosion in Texas, defended the limits of his influence, casting himself in the role of persuader, not enforcer.
"I cannot force Republicans to embrace those common-sense solutions," he said. "I can urge them to. I can put pressure on them. I can rally the American people around those common-sense solutions. But ultimately, they, themselves, are going to have to say, we want to do the right thing."
He complained that the challenge facing implementation of his health care reform law is, "You've got half of Congress who is determined to try to block implementation and not adequately funding implementation." He also said there are Republican governors "who know that it's bad politics for them to try to implement this effectively."
Obama has been engaged in a new charm offensive lately, reaching out to Republicans, particularly in the Senate. He has invited about two dozen of them for dinner and has spoken to the Senate and House Republican caucuses. But he and his aides bristle at the idea that he does not use the power of the presidency well enough to win his way with Congress.
At a black-tie dinner Saturday, Obama took note of a column by New York Times writer Maureen Dowd, who criticized the White House for not deploying "pit-bull legislative aides" to secure votes as a fictional president played by Michael Douglas had done in the movie "The American President."
"Michael, what's your secret, man?" Obama joked. "Could it be that you were an actor in an Aaron Sorkin liberal fantasy?"
If Obama's relations with Republicans are complex, they are also fraught with the liberal wing of his own party.
Even as he reiterated his call for a large fiscal compromise to replace the sequester, a coalition of liberal groups launched a campaign Tuesday to simply kill the budget cuts.
"The public is not interested in a grand bargain," said Roger Hickey, co-director of the liberal Campaign for America's Future. "If the president would become a champion of jobs instead of a champion of a deal with Republicans, it would be much more popular and would force the Republicans into a position where they would have to answer him."
Obama instead decried congressional efforts to deal with the budget cuts piecemeal. He singled out legislation that will allow the Federal Aviation Administration to dip into money set aside for airport improvements to avoid furloughs that were causing flight delays. "Essentially what we've done is we've said, In order to avoid delays this summer, we're going to ensure delays for the next two or three decades."
But vetoing the bill, he said, would not result in a broader fix.
"It just means that there would be pain now, which they would try to blame on me, as opposed to pain five years from now," he said.
So Obama planned to sign it.

Washington DC Nano News - Still Just a Bill
authored by Margaret Glass, ASTC
So where did H.R. 5940 go next? For those of you who need a reminder of steps in the process, here's a link to the classic song and video: I'm Just a Bill. In this case, next stop was a vote by the full House, which took place after about 40 minutes of discussion on June 5. Want to know how your Representative voted? Check out the results of Roll Call 383. Want to know how your representative or senator feels about other science policy issues? Look them up on the Sharp Network. The next day, H.R. 5940 was received in the Senate, read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. How long until it's debated by the committee? No idea. The House spent months with briefings and informational sessions before the bill even came to the floor in committee. The Senate Commerce Committee held one hearing on the reauthorization in April; you can read the witness' statements here.

Austin Powers (film series)
The Austin Powers series is the name of a comedy film series from New Line Cinema released from 1997 to 2002 directed by Jay Roach, produced, written by and starring Mike Myers as both the title character and the main antagonist, Dr. Evil.
The series spoofs primarily the James Bond, Derek Flint, Harry Palmer, and Matt Helm franchises, and incorporates myriad other elements of popular culture as it follows a British spy's quest to bring his nemesis to justice. The films poke fun at the outrageous plots, rampant sexual innuendo, and one-dimensional stock characters characteristically associated with 1960s spy films, as well as the cliché of the ultra-suave male superspy. Contrary to the handsome, super-smooth leading men of the James Bond genre, Austin Powers is not conventionally attractive (he is especially known for his bad teeth), although female characters in the films seem to find him irresistible. Powers. Austin Powers.
- Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)
- Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)
- Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)

The Flying Dutchmen return a nucleus of veterans who will be seeking to repeat as champions of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association for a third consecutive year and to be competitive on a national level.
Hope swimming and diving is directed by John Patnott who launched it as an intercollegiate program in 1978. Since its founding the Flying Dutchmen have finished first or second every season in the MIAA and scored points at the NCAA Division III championships every year except one and that was back in 1988. The Flying Dutchmen have won the MIAA championship 11 times in school history.
This year's pre-season roster includes 23 returning letterwinners comprised of 11 sophomores, three juniors and nine seniors. The team also did well at recruiting with nine freshman propsects.
Senior tri-captains of the team include Phil Heyboer of Zeeland, Mich. (Holland Christian HS), Ryan Nelis of Holland, Mich. (West Ottawa HS), and Matt Ray of Holland, Mich. (Holland HS).
Six returning swimmers scored at nationals last year. Senior Ryan Nelis was 14th in the 100-yard butterfly and 15th in the 200-yard butterfly, senior Mitch Ruch of Zeeland, Mich. (Zeeland West HS), was 10th in the 200-yard backstroke, and senior Phil Heyboer was 12th in the 400-yard individual medley. Senior Brandon King of Willowbrook, Ill. (Hinsdale Township HS); senior Mitch Ruch of Zeeland, Mich. (Zeeland West HS) and senior Aaron Welsch of Saint Peters, Mo. (Fort Zumwalt South HS) were members of relay teams that finish 11th in the 200-yard freestyle, 12th in the 400-yard freestyle relay; 12th in the 400-yard medley relay and 15th in the 200-yard medley relay. Also competing at nationals was sophomore Jeff Shade of Davison (Davison HS), 500-yard and 1,650 yard freestyle.
Five returning swimmers were All-MIAA honorees last year -- Heyboer, Nelis, Ruch. Welsch and Shade. Returning defending MIAA champions include Heyboer in the 400-yared individual medley , Ray Nelis in the 100-yard and 200 yard butterfly and Jeff Shade in the 1,650-yard freestyle. Nelis, who holds the MIAA record in both the 100 and 200 butterfly, will be bidding for a fourth consecutive MIAA title in the 200 fly. Heyboer, the league record holder in the 400 individual medley, will also be bidding for a fourth straight championship.
Seven Hope records are held by current team members -- Jeff Shade in the 1,000-yard and 1,650-yard freestyles, Mitch Ruch in the 200-yard backstroke, Jeff Heyboer in 400-yard IM, and Ryan Nelis in the 100-yard anmf 200-yard butterfly and 400-yard IM.
Other returning letterwinners include sophomore Steven Ansilio of Western Springs, Ill. (Lyons Township HS), sophomore Patrick Frayer of Grand Rapids (East Grand Rapids HS), sophomore Michael Huisingh of Holland (Holland HS), sophomore Thomas Knecht of Grand Rapids Grand Rapids Christian HS), sophomore Benjamin O'Dell of Oswego, Ill. (Oswego Community HS), senior James Richardson of Mount Vernon, Ohio (Mount Vernon HS), sophomore Aaron Rittenhouse of Fort Wayne, Ind. (Homstead HS), sophomore Andrew Rose of Holland (Grandville HS), junior Clayton Summers of Zeeland (Zeeland East HS), senior Nicholas Stone of Westland (John Glenn HS), senior Cody Tozer of Sturgis (Sturgis HS), sophomore Trevor VanderHart of Caledonia (Caledonia HS), junior Austin Veltman of Ada (Forest Hills Eastern HS), junior Mark Waterstone of Holland (Holland HS), and sophomore Brian Yount of Franklin, Ind. (Franklin Community HS).

Nikon D810 HD-SLR Released
Nikon says that the addition of EXPEED 4 allows for an overall 30% boost in performance, as well as a faster burst speed and enhancement to overall energy efficiency. Now the D810 is capable of shooting at 5 frames-per-second (fps) at full resolution and 5:4, 6 fps in DX or 1.2x modes, (15.4-megapixel, 25.1-megapixel, respectively), and 7 fps in DX mode (15.4-megapixel), with battery pack. For workflow versatility, the D810 also gives users the option to shoot in full resolution 14-bit RAW/NEF file format or the new RAW Size Small format. This 12-bit file format is half the resolution and approximately 1/4 the file size of full RAW files, for increased flexibility when speedy downloads are desired or memory space is at a premium.
Nikon has also implemented a new features aimed at improving overall image quality for all types of photographers. Nikon's Advanced Scene Recognition System with the 91,000-pixel 3D Color Matrix Meter III provides balanced exposures in difficult scenes. The system analyzes each scene to recognize factors such as color, brightness and human faces with startling precision to determine what type of subject a user is shooting. The system then compares all the data using an image database to adjust exposure, AF, auto white balance, i-TTL flash control and enhances subject tracking.
A "Clarity" setting has been added to the available Picture Control adjustment parameters, which adjusts mid tones to enhance details within an image. To help preserve the most amount of detail in shadows and highlights, the new "Flat" Picture Control Profile is now available, allowing both photographers and filmmakers to get the widest tonal range out of their cameras for maximum flexibility in post processing. For further customization of Picture Controls, users are now able to make adjustments in .25 step increments for the maximum level of custom color, saturation and brightness levels. Additionally, the D810 employs a new highlight-weighted metering option, which detects the brightness in a scene and determines optimum exposure.
The D810 also supports capturing of Full HD 1920 x 1080 video capture at a variety of frame rates, including 60/30/24p.
"FX" and "DX" crop modes give users a telephoto boost when needed, a feature that has been very popular with camera operators because of its added flexibility on set.
A "Flat Picture Control" is a neutral color profile for video that gives the user maximum flexibility in post-production.
The D810 can relay uncompressed digital video to an external recorder via HDMI, while simultaneously displaying the video on the rear LCD display and external LCD monitor. Operators can also record both to the internal card (compressed) and to the external recorder (uncompressed) simultaneously.
Like the Nikon D4S, the D810 uses an auto-exposure setting to help create smooth exposure and tonal transitions for professional results with time-lapse and interval-time shooting.
The D810 also features a built-in stereo microphone, and an external microphone can also be attached.
With the Power Aperture setting, it is simple to adjust the exposure and depth of field on the fly while recording to an external recorder or SD/CF cards. In manual mode, users can also control shutter speed and ISO while recording. Additionally, white balance and exposure compensation can be adjusted prior to recording.
The camera's focus system has 15 cross-type AF sensors for enhanced accuracy, and works with the Advanced Scene Recognition System to provide face detection even through the optical viewfinder. The camera also utilizes 11 cross-type sensors that are fully functional when using compatible NIKKOR lenses and teleconverters (aperture value up to f/8), which is useful for wildlife photography. In addition to normal, wide area, face tracking and subject tracking modes, the D810 also features the new Group AF mode for enhanced accuracy, even while tracking subjects.
The camera is equipped with a 1229K-dot, 3.2-inch LCD screen, and is compatible with a full range of Nikon's remote systems, including the new wireless remote system with the WR-1 to trigger the camera remotely.
The Nikon D810 will be available in late July for the suggested retail price (SRP) of $3299.95. The MB-D12 battery pack is currently available for $616.00 SRP. A new Capture NX-D software package will be available mid-July for download at no additional cost.
Additionally, Nikon will be offering two kits designed for videographers and filmmakers; the D810 Filmmaker's Kit consists of the D810 body, AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G, AF-S NIKKOR 50mmm f/1.8G, AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G lenses, 2 additional EN-EL15 batteries, ME-1 Stereo Microphone, Atomos Ninja-2 External Recorder, and Tiffen 67mm and 58mm Variable Neutral Density Filters (8-Stops). For stop motion applications, the D810 Animator's Kit features the D810 body, AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G ED VR lens, EH-5b Power Adapter, EP5B Power Supply Connector and Dragonframe Stop Motion Software plus Dragonframe USB Keypad Controller.

- Box Stall Drinker
Heated Box Stall Water For corner installations in box stalls.
- Mineral Feeder
Your time is too valuable to spend it- "messin' with a mineral feeder"
You've experienced it all - rotating feeders that don't quite rotate, welded legs that come unwelded, rubber flaps that disintegrate with little use, frozen bearings and feeders frozen in the ground. Our Brower - tuff mineral feeder is easily moved from pasture to pasture. Our mineral feeder is easily used by animals, protects feed & mineral and protects your time. Most any animal is attracted to this feeder and readily learns to use it. No training is necessary.
NO EXPOSED SHEET METAL, STEEL LATTICEWORK OR STRAPS FOR YOUR ANIMALS TO GET CAUGHT ON. Solid bottom. Cheap imitations leave an exposed cavity (and leave a hole in your pocketbook).
Molding process engineered to permit extra material to flow into center post for extra strength. Post has a 6 inch (15.2 cm) diameter base and is further supported by three partitions. Four notched flanges for easy anchoring.
Heavy-duty 41 inch (104.1 cm) diameter flap protected by rubber disk. Before you purchase any other feeder, ask experienced users how well competitors' flaps hold up compared with Brower's flaps.
Link pin allows flap to ride up when lifted by animal; this permits "give" and extends life of flap and feeder.
High density polyethylene. Hindered amine light stabilizer, the most effective ultraviolet inhibitor.
Holds three 50 lb. (22.7 kg) salt or mineral blocks. Can accommodate larger blocks up to 12 inches (30.5 cm) square. Also holds 200 lbs. (90.0 kg) of loose supplement level-full.
1. Cows eating with their heads in the downward "natural grazing position" produced 17% more saliva than those eating from an elevated surface. Additional salivation had a direct positive influence on the efficiency of rumen function. Overall digestion was significantly enhanced.
-From a Study by: McFarlane, I.S. 1972. Bovine behavior patterns. Livestock Breeder Journal. December, 15 (no. 12): 6.
2. Milking cows were observed for the occurrence of feed-tossing behavior. About 10% of the cows engaged in this excessive sorting and throwing of feed. As a result of feed tossing over their backs and along their sides, feed wastage for these cows ranged up to 10 percent. When given the choice of eating from an elevated (28 cm - 11 inches) bunk versus one at ground level, the cows chose the lower level and feed tossing was not observed. The authors of this study concluded that feed sorting and throwing is an engineering problem. The solution is designing equipment which permits cattle to feed "in the natural, head-down, grazing-like position."

- abstract
We replicate three pricing tasks of Gneezy, List and Wu (2006) for which they document the so called uncertainty effect, namely that people value a binary lottery over non-monetary outcomes less than other people value the lottery's worse outcome. Unlike the authors who implement a verbal lottery description, we use a physical lottery format which rules out any misinterpretation of the lottery structure. Contrary to Gneezy, List and Wu, we systematically observe that subjects' willingness to pay for the lottery is significantly higher than other subjects' willingness to pay for the lottery's worse outcome.

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are important vehicles for transfer of genes into mice. When combined with normal pre-implantation embryos and transferred to foster mothers, ES cells contribute to the development of many different tissues, including the germline. When these cells are genetically manipulated, this approach discloses much about the function of specific genes.
Detailed methods for using ES cells are described in the manual Manipulating the Mouse Embryo: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition.
This video guide complements Manipulating the Mouse Embryo: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition and Transgenic Techniques in Mice: A Video Guide. It provides step-by-step demonstrations of the following procedures required for making mutant mice.
Demonstration 1: Starting embryonic stem (ES) cell lines Demonstration 2: Making fibroblast feeder layers Demonstration 3: Growing established ES cell lines Demonstration 4: Targeting ES cell lines Demonstration 5: Making chimeras with ES cells Demonstration 6: Making a mouse

What is the status of the rural economy?
Are Farmland Prices Stabilizing?
(AgProfessional) The stabilizing process we've mentioned in recent issues is evident in data released to LandOwner from Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica).
The Omaha-based lender is the largest ag real estate lender in its four-state service region, which covers Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.
The association monitors ag real estate value trends through its semi-annual appraisal update of 65 benchmark farms located throughout its service area.
Its appraisal team reviews thousands of completed farm real estate transactions in the process.
The July 1 update below shows the value of the 21 Iowa benchmark farms rose slightly more than 6% during the first half of 2013 compared to the 13.8% surge the last half of 2012.
The 19 Nebraska benchmark farms show a 7% rise — down from 12.3% the last half of 2012. Those gains amount to about a one-percentage-point gain per month.
In our view, that type of increase points to a market that is transitioning into a stabilizing market.
The 23 South Dakota benchmark farms report a 9.5% six-month gain. While down from the astonishing 17.6% burst seen last half of 2012, the 1.6%-per-month increase is too strong to be considered a market that is stabilizing.
The update shows a lift in the value of Wyoming farmland. The update lists a gain of 3.3% for the first half of 2013.
That compares to no change in values during the last half of 2012.
FCSAmerica says the rise in Wyoming is driven by increases in cropland values that offset slight declines in the value of ranchland in the state.
Additionally, the Iowa market seems to be in the same spot as it was a year earlier.
Land values were stabilizing after posting a 6.2% rise the previous six months. But values surged as grain prices rocketed.
That does not seem likely this year with soil moisture supplies recharged.
But this crop is not yet in the bin.
However, Nebraska is cooling, too. Its current rise of 7.1% is the first single-digit six month rise since last half of 2010.

The last summer holiday that I just spent is extreme interesting and fascinating.
> extremeLY interesting
> "fascinating" is the same as "extremely interesting," so you don't say both
I just returned from a fascinating holiday.
It's held in the first of this September.
> It WAS held
> But you don't say "to HOLD a vacation or holiday."
> This little sentence should be part of the next sentence
On the first of September,
I & my eight friends, all of us familiar in high school (???), traveled to Phan Thiet.
> "my eight friends and I" usually
> "all of us from the same high school" would be a way to express this
I traveled with eight of my high school classmates to Phan Thiet.
We visited many well-known places such as:
> This is not the right use of the colon
> It would work after "places" (omitting "such as")
> or keep "such as" and omit the colon
We visited many well-known places, including
Duc Thanh school, Mui Ne beach, Ta Cu mountain, sand hill...
> All the words in a proper name should be capitalized
> the sentence does not need to trail off like that
Duc Thanh School, Mui Ne Beach, Ta Cu Mountain, and Sand Hill.
These places gave me so many memories.
> This idea is too weak to operate as a conclusion to this list
> Just delete this sentence
At first, we were off at 6AM and visited Duc Thanh school.
> This make it appear that you are going to list your tourist itinerary in chronological order.
> But since you don't, just delete this
NOTE: Relocate the last sentence here
This place was first school that HO CHI MINH taught
> THE first school
> that he taught "at" or "where he taught"
> do not use all caps for a proper name
The Duc Thanh school was where Ho Chi Minh first taught
before going abroad to save the Union.
(This is fine)
We heard many emotional stories about him and about the school such as:
> This is not a good use of the colon
> "such as" is used instead of a colon
> End the sentence after school
We heard many emotional stories about him and about the school.
The history of school, How the Phan Thiet's citizens loved him.
> now start this as a new sentence
We learned the history of the school and how the citizens of Phan Thiet loved Ho Chi Minh.
I was very surprised when I saw the tools of teaching were so simple and there were many fruit trees in the school.
> It's not good to end the passage on such a weak side note
> Instead, relocate this sentence back into the paragraph, as an introduction to your remarks about this school, not as a limp ending
> One of the most memorable places we visited was the Duc Thanh School, which is surrounded by fruit trees. It surprised me to see how simple the tools of teaching were.

Hell hath no fury like the trio of women scorned in this crass comedy
What would you do if you found out you were an accidental mistress?
When Carly (Cameron Diaz: The Counselor) makes a surprise visit to her boyfriend Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau: Game of Thrones), she meets his wife. Horrified, Carly tries to lose herself in work to forget that she was conned by a philanderer.
Carly's plan fails when Mark's wife, Kate (Leslie Mann: Rio 2) appears at her office. But not for vengeance. After marrying Mark, Kate quit her job to become a housewife, blithely redecorating their mansion while Mark slept around. Carly's appearance snapped Kate out of denial. But with no career, money of her own or friends, Kate has nowhere else to go. Carly is her default.
Their awkward connection blossoms into friendship when Carly and Kate switch from whining about Mark's behavior to getting even. Another of Mark's myriad mistresses makes three scorned women out to ruin one man.
Equal parts girl power and gross-out comedy, The Other Woman is a wildly uneven entry into the revenge genre. Director Nick Cassavetes (Yellow) arrives at no consistent tone. A farcical comedy of manners devolves into crass physical jokes that are both obvious and, worse still, not funny. As Kate and Carly bond over Mark, the dating scene and how hard it can be for a woman in the world, Kate's great Dane relieves himself on Carly's floor. When a movie spends more time on dog poop than on crafting believable characters, it's a bad sign.
Writer Melissa Stack (Tependris Rising) offers a slightly feminist twist on girls' comedy by having wronged women team up instead of fighting. But her characters remain broad stereotypes of, well, broads. As the youngest of Mark's mistresses, model-turned-actress Kate Upton is cast as the dumb blonde. Her Marilyn Monroe impersonation is adequate, but the character is a stereotype. Diaz's Carly is a cold career woman. A man helps humanize her because where would women be without the love of a good man?
Mann elevates Kate above the stereotype through sheer will. She makes Kate a sad, silly woman whose plucky attitude avoids pathos. Mann and Diaz have good chemistry, and although the movie is a vehicle for Diaz, Mann steals every scene she's in and wrings laughs out of the dated material.
If Cassavetes had trusted the three leads, he wouldn't need crude, silly sight gags.

A Boston College professor says he used Kobe Bryant as an example in his first international marketing class of the semester - and then the Lakers star walked into the class and started taking notes.
Boston College says Bryant arrived shortly after the class began Thursday night and stayed for two hours until it was over. Professor Nick Nugent says Bryant's visit was not planned.
Bryant told students that he loves to learn and is interested in international marketing.
He was in the area for the Lakers' Friday night game against the Celtics, but did not play as he recovers from a left knee fracture.
Bryant did not attend college after going to the NBA directly from high school in suburban Philadelphia.

Recently the SeniorNet Learning Center in Huntington NY was presented their $1,000 Chairman's Award funds by SeniorNet Executive Director Kristin Fabos.
Previous coordinator Fred Atkin and current Learning Center coordinator Slava Vero accept award check from Kristin Fabos.
The SeniorNet Chairman's Award for website program was given to team of SeniorNet volunteers for their creation and implementation of SeniorNet's Book Donation Initiative, to donate new and gently used books to make a difference in the lives of others. The initiative currently consists of two projects: the Prison Library Project (PLP) and the Native American Children's Book project (NACBP). These volunteers are using part of their $1,000 award to make the holidays more joyous by sending books and book gift certificates to libraries in two prison systems and youth programs in the three reservations where SeniorNet has helped to establish Achievement Centers.

I'm trying to write a method that expects an array of int and two intS parameters, which represent the starting position and ending position of a subarray within the parameter array.
So here's the code I've written, trying to do this, but I'm getting errors having to do with the parameter passing. I don't think I'm doing it quite right, clearly...
I aim for the output of '10 11 12'.
Please help!
public class testing{ public static void main(String args[]) { int[]firstArray = {8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13}; //original string subArray(int[]firstArray, 2, 4); //trying to pass these parameters to method subArray public static void subArray (int[]originalArray, int S2, int S2) //parameters - trying to get from previous line. { int[] copy = new int[3] //Instantiating new array to fill with contents from original array. System.arraycopy(originalArray[], 1, copy[], 0, 3); //copying over contents... for (int i = 0; i < copy.length; i++){ System.out.println(copy[i]);} // Will produce contents of new array 'copy' } }}

This Karkarodon was a part of a Karkarodon squad that had arrived to aid Riff Tamson in a civil war between the Republic-allied Mon Calamari and the Separatist-allied Quarrens on the planet Dac. The Karkardon was killed during the battle.
In 21 BBY, tensions between the Mon Calamari and the Quarrens rose high after the king of the Mon Calamri Yos Kolina was found assassinated. The tension erupted into war between the two species, each calling their their allies. During the battle, Prince Lee-Char, Kolina's son and heir to the throne, was captured by the CIS. Tamson scheduled his public execution in front of his prisoners of wars, which included Ackbar, Jar Jar Binks, Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala and Kit Fisto. This Karkarodon along with two others was to execute Lee-Char. However, Quarren chieftain Nossor Ri, who began to doubt his allegiance with the CIS had a change of heart and rallied the Quarrens to fight for Lee-Char and the Republic. Ri rescued Lee-Char just as the Karkarodons were about to execute him and gave him a weapon. Lee-Char then killed all the three Karkarodons with it. The battle was eventually won by the Republic.
