Great info, thanx!
I've seen a few people end up having difficulties with the Asia version of the game so I will post the different copies of the game here, and easy ways for you to differentiate the copies from one another.
-HOW TO USE THE VITA WITH MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS USING ONE MEMORY CARD- (confirmed to work with online passes by myself.)
1) backup (not necessary though)
2) deactivate the system: Playstation network -> system activation -> game-> deactivate
3) sign out
4) Restore the PS Vita system: Format ->Restore the PS Vita system
when the system asks to format the memory card just press NO.
5) system restarts and you can sign in with another account.
save games of each account will be stored on the same memory card. PSN store games are tied to an account though.
6) (Optional) If you use apps like Livetweet you will have to go into settings>playstation network>system activation>game>activate. And it will work again.
Everything remains, including screenshots. The only thing you lose are the PS vita settings. Takes about 5 minutes.
Standard version of Minna no Golf 6. This title will connect to the Japanese servers. Notice the "A" in the video game content rating icon on the bottom left.
This is the Asia version of Minna no Golf 6. This will also connect to the Japanese servers. The game is still in the Japanese language, but allows players who want access to DLC, to use a Hong Kong account that can have English be set as a primary language for the vita and PS Store. Notice the Chinese character in the video game content rating icon on the bottom left. (Currently the version I am playing.)
This is the other Asia release of the game. This time it connects to a Asia server that is separate from the Japanese servers. Cover is noticeably different than the Minna no Golf titles. (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore.)
This is the United States, and Canada release of the game. This connects to the International server. Easily distinguishable from the other titles.
This is the Europe release of the game. This also connects to the International server. Again easily distinguishable from the rest of the titles.
Places to Purchase:
Japanese Server:

http://www.play-asia.com/Minna_no_Go...n-70-4i26.html (Asia Version)
Asia Server:
International Server:
http://www.play-asia.com/HotShots_Go...n-70-49yx.html (United States and Canada version)
[ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Everybodys-Golf-PS-Vita/dp/B006LX8RGY"]Everybody's Golf (PS Vita): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games[/ame] (European Version)
Currently to my knowledge there is no way to get both versions of the game under one PSN account and have access to all DLC for both versions. If there is a change or my information is incorrect I will update as soon as possible regarding DLC in the future. Also if in need of further reference refer to http://mingol.shihiko.net/?page_id=35 and make sure to ignore the crossed out section for the time being. Any questions or needed clarification can be directed below and I will try to answer them in a timely manner.
UPDATE: So now that I have had significant time switching between my two accounts I can tell you a couple things that are possible.
-You can play any version of the game online as long as the account you are playing under supports that versions region.
-If you buy a physical copy of the game, switch accounts and buy a different digital copy from the store, you can access online content for the account you are currently under, while also being able to play offline under the physical copy.
-All saved data/etc stored on the memory card is saved as long as you don't reformat the card, this includes patches and vita system updates. (Only have to DL once.)
-Anything downloaded from the store, can only be used under the account that downloaded it. This includes applications, games, and eventually DLC.
For example I have 2 accounts. First account is a Hong Kong account that I use to play Minna online, I switch to my primary account which is a US account that has a Digital download of World Invitational. I can then play World Invitational online, and have access to my Minna physical copy offline mode but not online.

Great info, thanx!
thanks, hopefully we can stop other folks from getting screwed! I decided to just buy a Japanese psn card from cdjapan, it will take a week to get here, but I think that's the way to go with the dumbass way this game has been released. Silly me was hoping that the servers were going to merge together more......greedy bass turds
I talked for 45 fracking minutes to a tech support dude at sony and we may have we figured out a couple ways it would be possible to have access to both games with full DLC on 1 account. I have to wait for my jpn psn card & download the game to find out if it will work, I'll post again if it does...
the hsg release is still a great game though...played 16 hours straight the other day...man I need a life....sad that there never seems to be many people on line
Awesomeness, Seni.
Would respectfully suggest one of the top 2 if you still want to be playing this in 2 years time.
Folks i got a question (just to make sure about all this different versions). Since i'll be getting vita in few days, I live in Thailand and here we sell the Asia version.
So if i use my American ps3 ID account and bought the Asia version game card, it won't connect me to play online? Or you mean it will let me go online but it'll connect to the Asia server?
nice thread, thanks.
Japanese server: You would have to make a new PSN login. (Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong.) And either buy the FIRST or SECOND option above. I'll note that the second copy is 10$ or so cheaper then the Japan copy.
Asia server: You would have to make a new PSN login. (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore.) You would use the third option above.
International server: You would not have to change your PSN login. But you would need to find a copy of the United States, and Canada release. I don't know if it makes much difference to you but that would be in imperial measurements instead of using the metric system. If that is a big deal for you, then you would have to make a European PSN login, and buy the 5th option.
Basically the issues people are going to run into is that your PSN account has to match the region of the game you are playing to activate the online code since it is done through the store and the PSN store is region locked.
i see. guess my only option is to buy the game in psn store if i want to use my US account (though i would prefer imperial measurment). the download game comes with online pass i believe.. or i have to pay extra? :{
So basically the same as we do to play Minna on the PS3 only you have to activate it online before you play?
What we (I say we but I have no intention of buying a Vita) need is some helpful person to post some instructions for setting up and activating a Japanese version
As far as a setup guide for the Japanese servers, if you buy the 2nd version above like I did. Make a Hong Kong account, which has a primary language of English or Chinese. Not only will your vita be in English, but everything connecting you to the PSN will also be in English. Also as I stated above the conversion from Yen to US dollars for store cards is more expensive then the Chinese currency counterpart. Also keep in mind that if you plan to download games from the ps store, they will be in Chinese, not English. So choose carefully.

Injuries have forced the UFC to re-work two upcoming fights originally scheduled for UFC 138, as Oli Thompson is out of a planned bout with Philip De Fries, and John Hathaway will be unable to face off with Matt Brown.
In place of Thompson, De Fries will meet England's Rob Broughton. Broughton (15-6-1) will be competing in his native country just a few short weeks after falling to Travis Browne at UFC 135. This will be the Octagon debut for De Fries, who is 7-0 in his career with seven submission victories.
Brown (12-10) now gets Seth Baczynski (14-6) instead of Hathaway. Brown is 5-4 in his UFC career, winning his last fight, while Baczynski is 1-1 inside the Octagon.
The De Fries-Broughton fight will remain as scheduled for UFC 138 in Birmingham, England on November 5, while Brown and Baczynski's bout has been moved back a few weeks to November 19 and UFC 139 in San Jose, California.
UFC 138, which will be broadcast via tape-delay on Spike TV, features a main event pitting Chris Leben against Mark Munoz in the first non-title, five-round affair, while the headliner for UFC 139 boasts Dan Henderson vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.
MMATraining Take: This is an excellent opportunity for Broughton to get back on track after a disappointing performance against Browne. He will be fighting in his home country, and should be in much better shape due to not having to worry about flying to the U.S. For Brown, this seems like a do-or-die bout, and Baczynski may prove to be a little easier of an opponent than Hathaway.

Tigerstyle have a way with bass lines like no other producers. The amount of styles, instruments and beats they pack into their songs is amazing. The production is so intricate that even after several plays of the album I am still picking up new things.
Digi-Bhang is a collection of 11 songs that work independently and are suited to the shuffle function on an MP3 player. If you listen to albums the old fashioned way (one song after the other in the order of the track listing), you may find it too intense as there are no slow songs to provide variation. Tigerstyle make great slow songs and I missed them on this album.
The lyrics on most of the tracks are all sung traditionally in Punjabi, so whatever Tigerstyle do with the accompaniment the song still has a desi feel. However, the bass line and accompaniment to the vocals is where Tigerstyle play around. mix things up and fuse sounds together. It makes it hard to classify the style of each song, especially when it changes halfway through. This is bhangra, but not as you know it.
Tigerstyle Talk About Digi-Bhang by Sari-Clad Speakers
Digi-Bhang kicks off with three of the singles: Ay-Ha!, Boss and Kudi. With their solid bass lines and strong vocals Ay-Ha! and Kudi gave a tantalising glimpse of what to expect. Boss is the new single which is packed with drama and gun shots similar to those in Taakre.
Bhangra purists who have missed Tigerstyle's desi tracks will love Peli Peshi and Tera Hasna. These dholcentric tracks prove the duo can still make a great traditional bhangra track if they want to. Tanveer Gogi provides some incredibly powerful vocals on Tera Hasna. The track has a timeless classic feel that would work both in a Punjabi village and in a club.
Not many producers play their own instruments but Pops played the dhol for Pehli Peshi. It's a hard hitting bhangra track with a modern edge. RK Mendhi provides the vocals and Ranbir Jagatpuri wrote the lyrics. These two also feature on Boss. Ki Faida is a track with moombahton flavours and one of the heaviest bass lines ever.
There is an equal number of male and female vocalists on Digi-Bhang and it's great to hear women with brilliant voices taking the lead on half the album. There is a lovely soft opening to Dhi Punjab Di showcasing Jaspinder Narula's vocals. There is lots of bass, but the rest of the accompaniment is traditional and the song would work at a sangeet. It's the longest track on the album and it could have done with a break, perhaps mirroring the opening, to stop it getting too intense.
Zulfaan De Naag is girly but powerful. The vocals, bass and beat blend seamlessly together to create a catchy tune. It's one of the best tracks on Digi-Bhang and I can't wait to try it out on a dance floor. Party is another commercial song that is more Digi-Bollywood than Digi-Bhangra. It is the guilty pleasure track of the album.
Hatt Piche is a modern take on the sampling of the naughties. There's a vocal from Labh Janjua, rap from Kanwar and an instrumental similar to Terror Squad's Lean Back, which Tigerstyle used on Bhang Goes tha Riddim. As the only song with a rap/hip hop theme it stands out. Kanwar has some great lines including "you're like the sabji without the tarka".
Digi-Bhang ends with Ik Banere. The uniqueness of the song contrasts with the other tracks on the album. The combination of harp, bass and sweet vocals result in a very special song. I was impressed with the single and video and it's probably the best track Tigerstyle have ever made.
Verdict: Strong vocals, intricate production and fresh bass lines make Digi-Bhang a stunning album. There is not one weak track that lets it down and Digi-Bhang exceeded my expectations. It is innovative, original and creative. This isn't just bhangra, this is Digi-Bhang.

If you are looking for work at home typing jobs no cost ever free start up I think I can help you and maybe even give you some free tips along the way.
If you possess typing skills then you have the basic tools needed to make a ton of money on the internet, using all free programs. There are a lot of companies that will pay you for transcription but the basic problem with that is that it doesn't pay very much. I mean pennies, cents, centavos. If you are lucky enough to land a contract you will be double lucky if they have enough work for you.
There is a way that you can put your typing skills to work and earn a full time income if you are just a little creative. It would mean that you will be working for yourself and being your own boss but the earning potential is staggering.
What am I talking about? Article marketing. If you have the skills to put out several articles a day you can compete with the big boys in no time flat. All it takes is a little creativity in your writing and you are set.
The basic reason for article marketing is that of traffic generation to your website where you monetize your visitors. Your articles are found in the search engines when someone is looking for information about a particular subject. Your keywords are crafted from research and strategically used to target certain visitors. They find your article, read your valuable content and click through to your site and buy your product.
In a nutshell that is a lucrative way to use your skills to generate a better that full time income from the comfort of your home.
The following list is a general outline that will give you a basic idea of what you will need to do in order to make this business model work for you.
1. You need to choose a topic that you are passionate about. Pick something that you can enjoy writing about and not get burned out the first day. Do you have a hobby, love pets, cooking, religion or whatever? You should pick something you love.
2. Find an affiliate product that is in line with that passion. ClickBank is the most popular affiliate network and should have a product you can market. Buy the product so you can experience it.
3. Set up a website that carries the theme of that product. It doesn't have to be more than one page. List the problems the product will solve and how it will make life better and link it to your affiliate sales page. Spend some quality time on this site so your visitors will click through to your affiliate sales page. If you get them to go there you will get sales and generate a commission.
4. Do intense keyword research on your product. Using Google Keyword tools you can generate a list of targeted keywords that people are using in their searches. The key is to pick keywords with high demand and low supply.
By doing a search on Google using quotes you can see the results number and refine your choices further. Use only those phrases that have 5,000 or less results so you are not jumping into an impossible pool of competition. You should keep building your keyword list into the hundreds so you always stay ahead.
5. Use these keyword to generate your articles. The key word should be in your title, the first paragraph and make it a link to your pre-sales site near the end of your article. Write your article around your keywords. They will be the basis of your articles and the directive for the article content.
6. Post your articles on as many article hubs as you can. Two that are getting indexed fast from Google are Ezine Articels and GoArticles. They both have great service and your articles should be on the front page of search results on your keywords in a couple of days.
If you set this up properly you should start seeing sales fast.
This is a powerful marketing model that can generate huge traffic to your site and a lot of sales. All you need is to be a little creative in you writing and you will do great.
Why work for someone else when you can be your own boss. Use your time to produce big checks that will go into your account and not just cents a line. If you can type you can write articles that can drive your bank account through the roof. So you can seek out work at home typing jobs no cost ever free start up or start you own business and secure your future.

If you are mounting your pergola to a wood deck or cement patio, the Pergola Bolt-Down Bracket System makes it easy! Simply measure your footprint and bolt the brackets into place. Insert 4 x 4 pressure treated wood posts (purchased separately) into the brackets and screw them in place. Slide your pergola posts over the wood posts, and screw the pergola posts into the wood. The result is a lasting installation that is safe and rigid.
This mounting system was specifically designed for New England Arbors brand Pergolas. The manufacturer highly recommends that if you installing any of these vinyl pergolas to a flat surface, that you purchase this kit. The mounting system comes with 4 brackets and 16 1.5" Self Tapping Screws to fasten wood posts to Steel Post Brackets.
Nearly two decades ago New England Arbors spun out of a local family fencing business in Sarnia, Ontario. We were designing arbors we knew would be popular on a larger scale – and people all over North America have loved our traditional New England designs created in modern low-maintenance vinyl materials ever since.
Since the early days, we've grown our business, but we still work to retain our original small town values. We want the people who invest their hard earned money in our products to have the best experience possible, from ordering and assembly through long ownership.

After a meeting on Tuesday in Enugu the Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing has released a statement saying that the next president of Nigeria must be Igbo.
The group has said that the Igbos cannot continue to play "second fiddle" in Nigerian politics, Punch reports.
They said that this decision is predicated upon the North's opposition to the calls for restructuring, and the ordering of the Igbos out of the region by a coalition of Northern youth groups.
"More annoying is the fact that the North, a major beneficiary in this direction, has bluntly refused to heed the call for restructuring, which has been identified as the panacea for the many socio-political problems plaguing the nation. Besides, they (North) have also not only continued to express disdain over the demand for Biafra by IPOB and MASSOB, but have also ordered the Ndigbo out of the North based on these agitations," the group said.
The group has said that this is the only way the agitators for a sovereign state of Biafra can be appeased.
"Remember that former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged Nigerians to beg Biafra agitators; only a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction will appease the Igbo. Otherwise, Biafran agitation will be inevitable," the group said.

A second federal lawsuit alleging widespread race discrimination at Interpublic Group of Cos. is being readied and could be brought against the ad holding company as soon as next week, Ad Age has learned.
This time, the plaintiff will be a former employee who worked in the Human Resources department at the world's fourth-largest agency holding company. Her lawyer, Eric Sanders -- who is the same lawyer in a similar case brought against Interpublic earlier this year -- declined to share the name of the new plaintiff until the filing of her suit.
But, he did tell Ad Age : "I can tell you that she supports Joy C. Noel's contention that racial discrimination in the employment practices at IPG is a widespread problem affecting hiring, firing, discipline, bonuses and promotional opportunities, particularly to African Americans and other dark-skinned people of color...this lawsuit will detail the widespread practices in great detail."
Interpublic in a statement told Ad Age that it "has not seen the lawsuit and cannot comment on any details until we have had an opportunity to review it."
The forthcoming lawsuit against Interpublic will follow the filing of a suit in a Manhattan federal court in April seeking $50 million in damages. It was brought by a Trinidadian employee, Joy C. Noel, who in her complaint stated that she was denied promotions because of race and faced retaliation for speaking out against discrimination. She also claimed she was paid less than her white counterparts.
She named several senior executives in the suit, including Interpublic Chairman-CEO Michael Roth. He has since been dropped from the proceedings.
The original suit is proceeding, with oral arguments slated to begin next month. Ms. Noel still works at Interpublic.

The babies are starting to flap their wings, stand up and preen. The bird on the right is the baby, the other two were born on the same day. Sometimes the older ones will be laying on top of the baby and the poor thing gets squished. They are really starting to run out of room and now that they are spreading their wings they are always crashing into and stepping on each other.

Pay tax arrears, Ahmedabad civic body tells Asaram's ashramMarch 10th, 2010 - 4:15 pm ICT by IANS
Ahmedabad, March 10 (IANS) The Ahmedabad civic body has slapped a notice on spiritual guru Asaram Bapu's ashram here for non-payment of property tax and asked it to pay Rs.3.5 lakh by next Wednesday.
"The ashram owes around Rs.3.5 lakh as property tax arrears for the last two years. It has been asked to pay the amount within seven days failing which further action would be taken," Mayur Dave, chairman of revenue committee of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, said Wednesday.
The spiritual guru has been in news since July 3, 2008 when two children associated with the Ahmedabad ashram went missing and their mutilated bodies were found from the Sabarmati riverbed behind it.

NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Jeff Budke reports on the tenth game of the season versus the Houston Astros. Jeff points out pitching is a major problem with this M's team right now. He says a pitcher should be evaluated over time, perhaps every month within a season, but it is hard to avoid that when Brandon Maurer & then Blake Beavan put the bullpen and the offense in bad positions playing with different mindsets. Is Aaron Harang the answer?

NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Jeff Budke reports on game number eight this season Monday night's home opener versus the Houston Astro's. Kendrys Morales is in need of some props for his performances since the Oakland series. In his last 4 games, Morales is 8-16 and hitting extremely well with RISP, adding a HR and 5 RBI for the M's. Was Joe Saunders' performance a sing of things to come? M's Opening Night is always a GREAT time.

Friday 6th October 2006, 19:30
Leinster overcame their keenest rivals and Heineken Cup champions in this thrilling encounter in the historic Lansdowne Road.
In front of a tournament record crowd of 27,252, Leinster went behind to an early Ronan O'Gara penalty and looked in trouble when Ronan McCormack was sent to the sin-bin for dangerous use of the boot in a ruck. However, Leinster managed to come through that phase without conceding any more scores and with a try of their own through a Brian O'Driscoll try, leaving them seven pointto three in front.
McCormack had only just served his ten minutes when the Felipe Contepomi was given ten minutes for punching Donnacha O'Callaghan off the ball, after O'Callaghan had impeded Contepomi. Contepomi was possibly lucky that the colour of the card was only yellow.
Leinster once again managed to weather the storm and when Contepomi returned, scored a wonderful try through Shane Horgan. Contepomi added the conversion and a penalty soon after, leaving the score at seventeen three coming towards half-time.
However, just before the break, Munster scored a dubious try through David Wallace, to leave the score at seventeen ten at half time.
Munsters hopes took at hit within a minute of the restart when Horan was sent to the bin for ten minutes and Leinster duly took advantage when Brian O'Driscoll scored his second and his teams third try.
O'Gara slotted a penalty in reply, but Leinster secured the four-try bonus point on seventy-seven minutes with a try from number eight, Jamie Heaslip.
Leinster will be unhappy in that they allowed Munster to score a late converted try to earn themselves a little deserved bonus point.

The best investment advice you'll never get
Mark Dowie | Photo: SF magazine | January 18, 2008
For 35 years, Bay Area finance revolutionaries have been pushing a personal investing strategy that brokers despise and hope you ignore.
If Solli is an industry gadfly, Geddes, a modest, unassuming son of a United Church of Christ minister, is its chainsaw massacrer. "We work in the most overcompensated industry in the country," Geddes admitted before the water was served, "and indexing threatens the revenue flow from managed funds to brokerage houses. That's why you've been kept in the dark about it. This truly is the great secret shame of our business.
"The industry knows they are peddling bad products," Geddes continued, "and a lot of people making the most money and getting the most prestige are doing so by gouging their customers." And Geddes is quick to differentiate between "illegal theft"—the sort of industry scandals Spitzer has uncovered, such as illicit sales practices, undisclosed fees, kickbacks, and after-market trading—and "legal theft," the stuff built into the cost of doing business that no attorney general can touch, but which in dollar amounts far exceeds investor losses to illegal activity.
Geddes wasn't always full of such tough talk about the industry. Not that he had any qualms about speaking his mind; in fact, he was let go from Morningstar in 1996 for being openly critical of the company's internal culture. "I still think of Morningstar as a potentially positive force in the industry," he says. "But let's just say they were weak at conflict management, especially at the senior levels." It wasn't until he took a freelance consulting job for Charles Schwab that he really saw the light about indexing.
"My job was to compile all the academic research on mutual funds, and that's when it really became clear that active management doesn't add any value," he says. When he finished the project, Geddes started teaching a finance class through the University of California extension, where he started preaching his anti-industry gospel. "I had to be careful, because there were a lot of brokers in the class. I started noticing that some of them would get sort of irritated with me."
Around this time is when he met Solli. Solli had a client, a doctor who was looking to learn about portfolio management and asked Solli what he thought of Geddes's UC course. When Solli looked into it, he was bowled over. "Here was this guy who'd been CFO at Morningstar and had this incredible background, and I thought, what the hell is he doing at Berkeley teaching this course to guys like my client? This is too good to be true—I have to meet this guy."
Slowly, inadvertently even, Aperio was born. But the fit was perfect. Geddes brought what he calls "the quant piece" to the table; Solli had the strategic vision. After a few months of brainstorming, they set out to see if a couple of guys who held themselves to high ethical standards could make it in the cutthroat financial industry.
And just how do these guys make money if they keep kicking out clients like me once they switch us into index funds, while alienating others with their irreverent critique of the entire mutual fund game? Geddes does take referrals from investment firms like Charles Schwab, which thrive on the sale of managed mutual funds. So why the rant? Isn't he, too, in business to make a buck?
"Absolutely," he admits. "I'm not Mother Teresa; I'm a capitalist who wants to succeed and make money. I just think the best way to do that is by building trust in a clientele by revealing to them honestly how this business works."
Geddes also offers a customized version of indexing (on taxable returns) for wealthier clients, a service that requires an ongoing relationship and supplies Aperio a steadier source of income than my low-six-figure portfolio did. Aperio now has about $800 million under management. It's a paltry sum compared with those of the big brokerage firms, which deal in the billions or even trillions, but Geddes is fine with that. "If I were making what I could be making in this business, I just wouldn't like the person I'd have to be."

Yes, superpowers should be involved in the matters of other countries as having the great power of being a superpower also gives a nation great responsiblity to use it for the good of the world. If a nation is a superpower, then it must accept that it must contribute to the world and mediate in another country's issues and problems.
Any country should be able to ask any superpower nation for assistance. If this assistance isn't asked for or needed, then they should only mind their own internal affairs. True peace and prosperity isn't at the barrel of a gun. If we were a more cooperative country and interfered less, we would be much better off.

Rudy vs. Hillary! Or not! Who cares!
Babble on.
OK, so I got it wrong. Not the first time, and it certainly won't be the last.
In an effort to regain my lost political prognostication credibility, I give you my prediction for the upcoming McCain vs. Obama race: who the hell knows? 6 to 5 and pick 'em. Flip a flippin' coin.
I have just as little confidence in my ability to predict the next Canadian election. Dion's a wet noodle, and Harper is giving himself a Grade III concussion pounding into that electoral glass ceiling right above him.
The thing is, I'm hard pressed to get my Give A F**k Factor above "comatose" about any of it. McCain's solid, but uninspiring from a political standpoint. Obama is all sizzle, no steak. The Liberals didn't ruin Canada under Chretien and Martin, and the Conservatives haven't "saved" it.
Nobody actually wants to steer the ship of state, they just want to be the ones with their grasping mitts on the controls. Which is a bloody shame, since I'm naturally inclined to care a lot more than I do right now.
Babble off.

Friendly Version
camera that arrived recently without much fanfare is Casio's QV-2900UX.
This little camera looks a lot like a Nikon Coolpix 990, but the
similarities end there. The 2900 has an 8X optical zoom lens which
allows you to get a lot closer to your images than normal 3X zoom
with Casio's traditional "bang for the buck", the QV-2900UX
has a list price of only $499. Not bad for a Microdrive-capable,
2.1 Megapixel camera with a big zoom! Is the 2900 worth your attention?
Find out now...
in the Box?
My QV-2900 came in a white (non-retail) box. Your bundle may differ.
QV-2900UX has a decent bundle. Inside the box, you'll find:
nice that Casio includes a 16MB CF card with the camera, considering
it's only 2 Megapixel. I wish we could get all manufacturers to
be so generous!
also kindly include a lens cap with strap, to protect the 8X optical
zoom lens.
the negative side, the inclusion of alkaline (non-rechargeable)
batteries was not welcomed. You'll want to go purchase a pack or
two of NiMH rechargeables, which will last much (MUCH) longer.
other complaint is about the PhotoLoader software. It's ... not
great ... and that's being polite. It will get your photos off the
camera but don't expect miracles.
camera did not include a manual, so I'm not going to comment on
it in this review.
far as accessories go, the lens is threaded (43 mm), so you can
use any lens/filter that fits. Casio sells a Tiffen wide-angle lens
for the 2900.
and Feel
QV-2900UX, I hate to say it, feels a bit cheap. There are solid-feeling
plastic cameras, then there are not-so-solid plastic cameras. This
one falls into the latter category - I guess that's one way to keep
the price down. The swiveling lens seems better built than the rest
of the body.
said, the camera is light and easy to hold. Just make sure you don't
plant your thumb on the LCD when taking pictures.
dimensions of the 2900 are 4.7 x 3.2 x 2.6 inches (W x H x D), and
it weighs 295 grams empty.
our tour with the front of the camera, you can see the big attraction
of the 2900, that 8X swiveling zoom lens. The camera has a "mirror"
effect, so if you turn the lens around to face you, your image will
appear correct on the LCD display. While some may think the swiveling
lens is a gimmick, I think it's great. Shooting over people in front
of you (or fences) is much easier. I think the popularity of the
Coolpix 900 series also confirms my belief.
F3.2 lens has a focal range of 6 - 48 mm, which is equivalent to
40 - 320 mm. The lens is entirely self-contained and never pops
out of its enclosure. As I mentioned, the lens is threaded for 43
mm attachments.
flash just above the lens has a working range of 0.5 - 2.5 m. The
strength of the flash can be adjusted in the menu system.
the back of the QV-2900. The 1.8" LCD is grainy, especially
in low-light situations. The video itself is fluid and not choppy.
I found it pretty easy to smudge the LCD, since there's not a lot
of room for your fingers on the back of the camera.
you may have noticed, unlike with the Coolpix series, there's no
optical viewfinder to be found here. If I was in the market for
a digital camera myself, that would eliminate the QV-2900 from my
the LCD are four buttons which do various things depending on which
mode the camera is in (record or playback). That includes:
the far right of the photo, you can see the switch which puts the
camera into record or playback mode.
that are the zoom controls, with the power switch just left of that.
looking at the top of the camera. Up here you'll find the shutter
release, +/-, and Menu buttons. It seemed a bit weird to have these
menu navigating buttons (+/-) up on top - I'm used to having them
on the back.
the middle of the camera, where it says "2.1 Mega Pixels",
you'll find a plastic door covering the I/O ports. Let's take a
here they are: USB, Video Out, Digital, and DC in. While my camera
didn't come with a serial cable, it appears to be supported (via
the digital port).
one side of the camera, with not much going on. You can see the
nice rubber grip on the lens which makes it easy to hold.
here's the other side. After you finally open the plastic door,
you'll reach the CompactFlash Type II slot. The QV-2900, with all
of Casio's cameras, fully supports the IBM Microdrive. The slot
is spring-loaded and the card easy to remove.
the bottom of the QV-2900, propped up by a lens cap. You can see
the battery compartment, as well as a metal tripod mount.
the Casio QV-2900UX
QV-2900 takes just 2 seconds to start up before you can start taking
pictures. It may take a few more if the flash has to charge. The
camera shoots exceptionally quickly. Locking focus takes a second
or less, and the shutter lag is minimal. Shot-to-shot is also very
fast - just one second, even in fine mode. The zoom mechanism is
quite fast as well, and precise too.
a look at the resolution and quality options available on the QV-2900:
that chart, I don't think I really need to sing the praises of the
IBM Microdrive. And that doesn't even show the 1gb version. If you
take a lot of photos, you want the Microdrive.
you'll see when taking a photo
QV-2900 also has an uncompressed TIFF mode. The 1600 x 1200 TIFF
takes up 5.5MB, so I figure you can get 2 or 3 on the 16MB card,
and perhaps 60 on the Microdrive. Do note that recording a TIFF
takes 40 seconds, and the camera is locked up until it's done writing.
You can abort the TIFF recording process, however.
BestShot mode is one of the newest and coolest features of the QV-2900
(and all new Casio cameras). You can pick one of 64 "scenes"
and the camera will pick the best settings for you! You can even
make your own scenes if you are so inclined.
are 28 scenes built into the camera, and there are 36 more on the
CD-ROM that you can put on the CompactFlash card and then use. Be
sure to lock those scene files first so they don't get erased if
you erase the memory card!
are a selection of scenes available on the QV-2900UX:
take a look at some more options on the QV-2900.
let's take a look at the menu options available on the QV-2900.
Casio has fancy, animated menus on the surface, and more traditional
menus underneath. The top level choices are:
Function brings up the more traditional menu, with the following
is this world coming to? Custom white balance and full manual controls
on a camera for under $500? I'm impressed that all of the features
from Casio's high end cameras have trickled down to the lower end
are four exposure modes, as I mentioned above. Here's a rundown:
camera also has a bulb mode, which keeps the shutter open for as
long as you hold down the button. A tripod is a must for things
like that.
first test is, as always, the macro test. It took me a few tries
to get this one right, using manual white balance and shutter priority
mode. The colors are accurate, but the image (as with most on the
QV-2900) is suffering from a case of the "jaggies". Check
out the edges of the figure to see what I mean. You can get as close
as 1 cm from the subject in macro mode on the QV-2900.
2900 did a decent job at my nightshot test, as well. There's quite
a bit of noise in the picture and the colors are a bit off, but
it did take in enough light.
the photo quality on the QV-2900 was average, or perhaps a bit lower
than that. I couldn't help but notice the jagged edges on the subjects
in my test photos, even at the "Fine" quality. It seems
like the camera is over-sharpening the images. I noticed this same
phenomenon on Steve's
Digicams photos as well, so it's not just my camera. Have a
look at my QV-2900 Photo Gallery to see
what I'm talking about.
made some of the first cameras with a movie mode, and sadly, it
hasn't improved much since. There's no sound recorded with the movies...
which some may consider useless, but I think it's a nice bonus.
nice thing is that you can use the optical zoom while filming --
now this is a rarity!
are two movie modes: regular, and past. Regular is the traditional
movie mode we all know, where you depress the shutter release and
film for 16 seconds. Past is kind of the opposite: you hit the shutter
release button to start filming, and it will keep going until you
hit it again. When you do, it will save the previous 16 seconds.
See the difference?
file format for these movies is AVI, using the M-JPEG codec. The
resolution is fixed at 320 x 240.
a somewhat exciting sample movie for you, looking towards Marina
to play movie (1.6MB, AVI format, M-JPEG codec)
playback mode has always been very good, and that continues here.
The basic features such as slide shows, DPOF print marking, and
image protection are all here.
is the "zoom and scroll" feature, which lets you zoom
into your photos 2X or 4X, and then "scroll" around in
them. The scrolling speed is the fastest out there, but it's hard
to move around without the usual four-way switch found on many other
feature that most camera makes skip over is the ability to delete
a group of photos, as opposed to all or one. I was pleased to see
that the QV-2900 has this feature.
can resize your photos to 640 x 480 easily, by just hitting the
"Resize" button on the back of the camera. The original
image is preserved.
can get a decent amount of information about your photos as well,
including exposure settings, resolution/quality settings, and even
a histogram!
neat trick that Casio cameras can do is create HTML pages containing
your photos and their specs. Here's a sample, from our classic QV-2000UX
Does it Compare?
the specification sheet, the Casio QV-2900UX sounds like a sure-fire
winner: 2.1 Megapixel, 8X optical zoom, full manual controls, Microdrive
support, and BestShot mode for under $500. While I appreciate all
those very nice features, there are two negatives that are deal
breakers for me: the lack of an optical viewfinder, and the less
than stellar photo quality. Obviously if you like the feature set
and are pleased with the photo quality, then you should ignore my
recommendation. But if you're looking for a "big zoom"
camera, I'd pay a little more for something better.
I liked:
I didn't care for:
you're looking for a big zoom camera, I recommend you check out
the Canon
PowerShot Pro90, Fuji FinePix 4900
and 6900
Zooms, Olympus C-2100
and C-700
Ultra Zooms, and the Sony
always, I recommend a trip to your local camera store to try out
the QV-2900UX and its competitors before you buy!
how does the photo quality stand up? Check out the sample photos

Pandemonium Unchained
GROWING UP: My name is Zandra and I am a gnome as you know. I grew up in a gnome town called Scrath. It was a peaceful well established and well known city of large amounts of gnomes. We lived on the outskirts of the city in more of the country with lots of open space. So I am more country and nature bound then city slicker chick. Growing up in a family of 5 siblings my family encouraged all of us to become our own individual and to seek out personal goals. Of the 5 siblings I am the only one with bright red hair and am the youngest. As my parents would say I am the most fiesty and free spirited child to match my bright red hair. As my family says they can always see me coming and I can never get lost.p. ASPIRATIONS: I found out about spells at age of 6 and after that I was hooked. I continued to meddle in spells here and there as I was young. Once I became a young single adult I wanted to become a wizard and so I did. My family was supportive although they never really understood why becoming a wizard was such a high desire of mine or why being a wizard would ever be used. My friends have things they have pursued and some know simple spells that we could do together but none took it to the level that I did with such zeal. p. BACKGROUND: The place I grew up in was simple life and non threatening until recently when dragons seem to find our town and threaten us. Although they flew over we did not have a problem with any of them so much until one day 5 of my friends and I were walking the roads to the next big city. The 6 of us were ready to get away from our gnome town and go to the next big city for the weekend and have an adventure. We never anticipated the extreme adventure we would encounter in the near future. We were surprisingly attacked by a blue dragon and all of us went different directions. As I was frantically running for my life to my amazement I saw 3 of my friends were killed by the dragons breath and its attack. Two of my friends ran in different directions as I ran the other way. p. LIVING ALONE: For 2 weeks I had been on my own in the woods living on the land for some time. Luckily because I grew up more country I knew how to live off the land and was not threatened by its harshness. Scared to try to venture back to my so called home and of once again meeting the Blue Dragon I have not attempted to go back. I do not know of my other two friends Azeza and Gandga and if they continue to live or if they too catch the dooming death as my other 3 friends did.
p.p. NEW BEGINNINGS: Suddenly in the woods after 2 weeks on my own feeling tattered, hungry and lonely I hear a bunch of people and found them all to be approachable. A group of adventurers. I have taken up with them and we fight evil forces, dragons and dark lords and what ever comes our way. From here I do not know where I go or am taken. I do hope that at some day I can find what happened to my friends and return to my home. Until then I move forward and my story begins……………

Last weekend, I went to the Adelaide Showgrounds for Oz Comic Con. My friend Phuong came with me. She brought her nephew Kevin with her on Saturday and added her niece Paris on Sunday.
Oz Comic Con was basically like the Comic Con in the US. I've never been to the ones in the US. My first Comic Con-like experience was at Supanova last year. I had a blast at that one which made it easy for me to decide to go to Oz Comic Con.
Like Supanova, I decided to buy a weekend pass. The first day was basically spent queuing up for photo (and/or autograph) tokens of the celebrities who I wanted to have a photo (or autograph) with. This year, I wanted to have a photo with Richard Dean Anderson, William Shatner, Emilie Ullerup and Aaron Ashmore. They were the main four celebrities who I wanted to meet. I managed to get photo tokens for Ullerup, Shatner and Ashmore.
Richard Dean Anderson photo AND autograph tickets ended up being sold out within 45 minutes. I was a little disappointed because it took forever to enter the premises due to a massive line (it didn't matter if I had pre-bought my ticket). Once I was in, there was another massive for the tokens booth..
It was fine.. I had other celebrities who I wanted to see.
The first celebrity who I had the pleasure of being photographed with was Aaron Ashmore.
People thought that he was the guy from Animorphs and X-Men series. His main acting role was when played Jimmy Olsen in Smallville. Being a Smallville and Ashmore fan, I wanted to meet him. As soon as I was standing next to him, he and I had a brief chat where he complimented me on my hair. He loved the blue fringe!!
The next celebrity was Emilie Ullerup.
WOW!! She is just gorgeous in real life!! Emilie also loved my blue fringe!! It made my day!!
The third and final celebrity who I had a photo with was none other than William Shatner.
The photo line for William Shatner was very long!! It took a long time to get to the front of the time. While waiting in line, I had been chatting to a few people who were also lining up for William Shatner. One of them is a lady who is probably in her late fifties. It didn't matter though because the topics we talked about made waiting in line enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised when she said that she was a Joss Whedon fan and knew episodes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
While waiting in line, Aaron Ashmore had his talk at the same time in another building. My friend Phuong and her Nephew Kevin checked it out. By the time I had my photo with William Shatner, Aaron's talk had finished and he was at his booth signing some autographs. I decided to purchase an autograph token and had a picture signed by Aaron. We also had another chat, which was really nice.
The second day of Oz Comic Con was more relaxed. We went around and checked out the different stalls. I ended up buying this Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia book.
Look at me being a dork.. Haha!!
We went to check out the cosplay and I went home afterwards because I was feeling a bit sick. Overall it was a great weekend. I was talking to one of my other friends and I may possibly be heading to Melbourne later this year for the Oz Comic Con there. They have a different list of celebrity guests, some of whom I would love to meet!!

Wine Cellars: More Than Just Another "Room" In Your Home
I'm not in the real estate business but as a working parent, I've dived my share of various work experiences, from being a part-time teacher, an online blogger, a marketing assistant and so much more. As everything online has become quite the craze nowadays, you can find just about anything being bought and sold from clothes, shoes, accessories, and even food, toiletries, cars, and so much more. As you know, renting out an apartment, job hiring, and yes, even real estate can be done online!
Recently, I tried hooking up with some real estate online sites because a few relatives of ours have began moving to Montana and asked me if I could help them locate good "deals" on homes. What I found out was this: one of the reasons why some residential homes are valued more than the rest was, believe it or not, their wine cellars!
Why indeed, you may ask? Well, as it turns out, wine cellars nowadays have earned a really significant niche in almost any residential space. With wine currently the top choice of beverage for adults this year, wine lovers need a place to properly store their wine. Lots of homes have been undergoing amazing transformations, thanks to this new home fashion icon.
Even better, building beautiful wine cellars doesn't have to be as expensive as undertaking a full-blown upgrade of your home. There are so many ingenious ways where you can embark on a wine cellar project while considering the cost, and of course, your available budget. For starters, here are some popular wine cellar ideas that have considerably "leveled-up" the value of a number of homes:
- Dining Room Wine Displays
- Closet Transformations
- Glass Enclosed Wine Cellars
- Tasting Rooms and Home Bars
- Under Stairwell Transformations
- Basement Wine Cellars
- Garage Renovations
And these are only SOME of them! By carefully deciding on the wine racks within, you can actually come up with more creative ways on how to incorporate gorgeous wine cellars in your homes.
Custom-made transformations at desirable cost!
So as I've mentioned, wine cellars have become some sort of "the next home fashion icon" nowadays which stands to reason why a lot of homes have been daring the wine cellar project. But of course, it shouldn't just be any wine cellar. You'd want yours to stand out and be a cut above the rest just as much as we always try to build homes that reflect uniqueness in architectural style and design. Thus, custom wine cellars are all the rage. However, there are still some who are quite reluctant to take on such a project due to financial constraints.
With wine rack kits, creating highly personalized wine cellars is made simple and affordable. Wine racks that are pre-made in a factory and shipped out can be versatile and mixed and matched in so many ways resulting to a wide assortment of design possibilities. So, achieving functional yet utterly stylish wine cellars is totally do-able even if you're working with a tight budget.
Indeed, wine cellars bring value to your homes, even more than what you've probably expected. More than just another room in your home, your wine cellar is an iconic addition that increases both its aesthetic and financial value. So why not start working on a wine cellar project and take the value of your real estate to a whole new level, all thanks to custom wine cellars.
Cynette Montoya is a wine writer for Wine Cellar Innovations, a company that creates unique wine racks for residential homes and commercial wine stores. Their custom wine cellars and wine racks can be found throughout the United States and featured in HGTV, Robb Report, Wine Spectator, PBS, and more. She loves writing about wood wine projects, cellar art, and more on their wine cellar blog. Find them on Facebook and Twitter and say hi!

men are smarter than women??? (Karen)
"Academics in the UK claim their research shows that men are more intelligent than women. A study to be published later this year in the British Journal of Psychology says that men are on average five points ahead on IQ tests.
Paul Irwing and Professor Richard Lynn claim the difference grows when the highest IQ levels are considered. Their research was based on IQ tests given to 80,000 people and a further study of 20,000 students....At scores of 155, associated with genius, there were 5.5 men for every woman."
Actually, this might be a good reason for sending women to college, since men know so much already it might help to level the playing field. Now if they could just explain why men never stop for directions, we could solve all the problems of the universe!

Oster egg cookers are designed to cook eggs in the size range of standard hen eggs; it is not therefore optimal to use them for other sizes of egg. However, cooking other birds' eggs may be feasible if done with caution and regard to the size of egg.
Duck eggs, for example, can be found in sizes only slightly larger than the largest hen eggs. An Oster egg cooker could handle this size of egg if the water fill is increased. This increase the cooking time appropriately. Similarly, bantam eggs can be cooked by reducing the water fill to a lower level.

Lisle, Illinois ~ Golf legend Lee Trevino and CBS Sports analyst Gary McCord are the marquee names at the 20th Annual President's Invitational Golf Outing hosted by Benedictine University on Monday, July 28 at Cantigny Golf in Wheaton.
The event provides an opportunity for area golfers to rub elbows with some of golf's greatest and play a championship course – all while contributing to a good cause. Proceeds from the event help provide scholarships for Benedictine students.
Registration and breakfast begin at 8:00 a.m. Golf begins at 10:00 a.m. sharp. Cocktails and photos begin at 4:00 p.m., followed by the program at 6:00 p.m. where McCord will interview Trevino and share stories of their time on the PGA Tour and the world of golf.
In a little more than four decades, Trevino has earned the reputation as one of golf's all-time greatest and most popular performers with an exceptional record. His engaging personality has marketed him as an adoring figure throughout the world.
Trevino traveled a different path than most professional golfers, rising from poor and humble beginnings on a cotton farm outside of Dallas, Texas to become one of golf's premier self-taught players. He won his first PGA Tour event, the U.S. Open, in 1968 and in 1971 defeated Jack Nicklaus in a storied 18-hole playoff. That same year, he was named PGA Tour Player of the Year after an incredible performance capturing the Canadian Open, the U.S. Open and the British Open within a span of 45 days. Throughout his golf career, he amassed six major professional championships.
Gary McCord, on the other hand, is well known for enduring 422 tournaments without a single win throughout his 23-year career on the PGA Tour. A man of good humor, he boasted a "NO WINS" license plate for years to poke fun at his own less-than-glamorous career as a professional golfer.
McCord pursued other avenues of golf and found himself in the world of broadcasting, jumping into the role as a commentator for CBS. Fans and critics alike have praised him for his knowledgeable perspective, refreshing humor and sometimes irreverent wit toward a game that is known for taking itself very seriously.
The cost for golf and the program is $300 per person ($1,200 per foursome). Sponsorships are available by contacting Deb Smith, director of University Development Events, at (630) 829-6080, email@example.com or by visiting ben.edu/golf.
Benedictine University is an independent Roman Catholic institution located in Lisle, Illinois just 25 miles west of Chicago, and has branch campuses in Springfield, Illinois and Mesa, Arizona. Founded in 1887, Benedictine provides 55 undergraduate majors and 17 graduate and four doctoral programs. Benedictine University is ranked No. 1 among the country's fastest-growing campuses between 2001-2011 in The Chronicle of Higher Education's list of private nonprofit research institutions, and Forbes magazine named Benedictine among "America's Top Colleges" for the third consecutive year in 2013. Benedictine University's Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is listed by Crain's Chicago Business as the fifth largest in the Chicago area in 2013.

DENVER, CO – Democrats Sen. Mary Hodge of Brighton and Rep. Cherylin Peniston of Westminster are co-sponsoring a bill to strengthen and expand ethics provisions of Amendment 41 to local government officials and employees, including school district boards. If passed, it will also place restrictions on the employment of their family members.
Promoted by Common Cause and wealthy Democrat Congressman Jared Polis, then a State Board of Education member, Amendment 41 was passed by voters in 2006. The ethics reform laws prohibit state officials and government employees from accepting gifts valued more than $50 and all gifts from lobbyists. The Independent Ethics Commission is empowered and funded to enforce and interpret the laws.
"In my travels around the district, my hours in the grocery store, people come up to me and they say, 'Adams County is corrupt. Elected officials are corrupt. What are you going to do about it?'" said Hodge.
In response to those allegations, Hodge said Senate Bill 146 "will clarify and strengthen our ethics laws."
"My concern is not with the legislation; my concern is with the message," said Sen. Steve King (R-Grand Junction).
"I don't believe that these constituents are right. I don't believe that of my county commissioners. I don't believe that of my city council. I don't believe that of my school board – and I certainly don't believe that of this body," said King. "In fact that could not be further from the truth."
"I'm not saying anybody is guilty," explained Hodge. "All I'm trying to do is resolve the problem or clarify."
Sen. Kevin Grantham (R-Canon City) expressed concerns about the clause prohibiting family members from working for companies that are the only source for goods in small communities. He questioned how fair it would be to deny a 16-year-old son of a government official or employee the right to work for a business contracted to supply tires for a town's vehicles.
"An overzealous watchdog could make it into something it actually isn't," said Grantham.
Hodge said the bill emanated from the ethics scandal that rocked Democrat Adams County elected officials, including violations by County Tax Assessor Gil Reyes and County Commissioner Alice Nichol, who allegedly had secured a high paying position for a relative and had a government contractor repave her residential driveway.
Nichol announced her re-election bid on Feb. 17, the day SB 146 passed unanimously on reconsideration of the third reading in the Senate, and moved to the House for consideration.
A week earlier, Adams County unveiled its new Transparency Portal – a website link to budgets, contracts and finance reports – "to provide responsive and effective leadership by supporting open, transparent and accountable government."
"The bill is well intentioned, but I'm not certain this bill addresses the problems in Adams County," said Rep. Bob Gardner (R-Colorado Springs), who cited the county's nepotism in hiring employees and lax contract procurement.
"This bill may be wide of the mark for what needs to be done in Adams County," speculated Gardner. "Counties can tighten their own rules…Adams County has been doing business like a 'good old boys and girls' network. The time that was acceptable is long gone."
Whether or not the bill adds costs to enforce the broadened ethics laws or conflicts with local government control, it will be hard for legislators to reject, particularly in an election year.
"No one is going to vote against it," predicted Gardner. "But is it the right solution to set ethics standards?"
