Nobody should buy an iPad 2 for $399
Apple unveiled a lot of new hardware today. From the new thinner and lighter iPad Air to the iPad Mini with Retina display, from updated MacBook Pro laptops to free iLife, iWork and OS X Mavericks updates, it was a jam-packed 90 minute presentation.
So here's what the new iPad line-up looks like. The iPad Air, with a 9.7-inch Retina display and A7 processor, is $499. The updated iPad Mini, with a 7.9-inch Retina display and A7 processor is $399. That's $70 more than before, but the old first-gen iPad Mini is still hanging around at a reduced price of $299. Decent little tablet, decent (not that little) price.
Also still hanging around, improbably, is the iPad 2. It still has an A5 chip pushing bits around and what today is nowhere near top-of-the-line 1024x768 display. And it's had its price reduced to… nope. No price reduction. The iPad 2 is still around, and it's still $399.
It's no shock to see the iPad 2 still around. It's popular as a less expensive full-size iPad for education, or for people who just can't swallow putting down $499 plus tax for a current generation full-size iOS tablet. What is shocking is that the iPad 2, now two years old, is still selling for $399.
Technology moves at the speed light these days. A two-year-old iPhone 4S costs $200 less than the new iPhone 5s. The iPad 2 at $399 is just $100 less than the newest iPad Air, despite being not two, but three generations removed.
What makes it even worse is that the iPad Mini with Retina display, which has the same chips and likely a more expensive screen than the iPad Air (the Mini's Retina display has the same pixel density as the iPhone, so much smaller pixels but just as many as the Air) is priced the same as the iPad 2. They're both $399. So you can get a big iPad with an old processor, a smidgen of RAM, and a 30-pin dock connector (oh lord…), or you can get one that's slightly smaller with a screen packed with four times the pixels, a modern A7 processor, a bucket of RAM, better Wi-Fi, a thinner build, Lightning connector, and so on.
Just know that I'll brand you as an idiot if you buy an iPad 2 at $399.
It's the same price, you choose. Just know that I'll brand you as an idiot if you buy an iPad 2 at $399. I don't care that it has a bigger screen. So do cheap 15-inch Windows laptops, but you won't be happy with one of those over the long term either.
A bigger and crappier screen and compatibility with your 30-pin dock accessories aren't worth the price.
Here's the thing, though. If Apple had cut the price of the iPad 2 again, say to $299, or even $329, just to keep some price separation between it and the newly-reduced first generation iPad Mini, I might not be so incensed. As it is, this is a boggling move, or lack thereof.
You can say all you want about positioning the iPad 2 as making the $100 step up to the vastly, overwhelmingly, hilariously more powerful, lighter, and all-around-better seem like an amazing deal, but that's like pricing a base trim Toyota Corolla $10,000 higher so the top-of-the-line Avalon seems more reasonable.
I get keeping the iPad Air priced where it is. I get dropping the first generation iPad Mini by only $30 - Apple's margins were never as great with it as they were with the full-size iPad. I even get increasing the price of the iPad Mini with Retina Display to a full $399 - that screen isn't cheap, nor are all of the up-to-date bits behind it, and Apple took enough of a beating from analysts and the market for the iPad Mini's suspected reduced margins.
But the iPad 2 at $399? That's just obscene.

Nobody should buy an iPad 2 for $399
It is around because it has to have a pretty-maervelous profit margin for Apple. This is Cook's Apple, a profit-first Apple. People, get used to it.
iPhone4 sells here in Europe for 399€. The iPad2 price and availability seem innocent compared to that... even if neither device can quite run iOS7 and have modems that do not even do 3.5G speeds. "My first Apple" -- which these devices now are for many people -- will be "my last Apple."
Well Done Cook.
I wouldn't buy it for $100.
*facepalm *repeated facepalm *unconsciousness
Agree 1 million percent imo not only is the iPad 2 at $399 ridiculous, it's wrong and is criminal. Baffled is an underestimation of what I think of this. Hate branding anyone stupid but you are right in every single way. It's like Apple are just taking advantage now cause they know people will buy it without really knowing that it's not worth it for just the fact it's an apple product. You can almost guarantee the iPad 2 will become slow soon just like the iPhone 4 so to spend 400 on a product that isn't imo future proofed is shocking. There 2nd tier big iPad is 3.generayions behind!!
I have no clue what they were thinking. I figured anything with a 30 pin would be gone. For $200 or $300 I could understand but at the same price as it's much better equipped iPad mini brethren it's mind boggling.

Oh c'mon .. You know that's not true. If say, there was a glitch on their website that does exactly this, don't tell me you won't be clicking your mouse furiously to buy as many as you could before they discover the glitch...
I'd spend $399 to get 399 units of iPad 2. Just some of the things I'd do with a truckload of $1 ipad2s...
- give them to friends and families this Christmas. I'd save a ton
- sell them for $100 or even $50. These are the range for crappy china-made android tablets which people DO buy as a cheaper alternative. Imagine the profit I'll get
- give them away this Halloween to trick or treaters (will give to the kid with the best costume)
- donate it to charity or schools
- place iPads in every room of my house, build a wall with 12x12 iPads, I'm sure there are apps out there I can use to turn it into a video wall, or at least, play random videos or sideshows
- place 4 iPads on the coffee table to play scrabble, poker, UNO and other board games with my friends when they visit
- use it to pick up girls .
#1 (I'll take their photo with the iPad (yes with the crappy camera), then say "I'm sorry for taking your picture.. You just look so beautuful i couldnt resist... Here, I want you have to have it (hand the iPad to her ). My contact number is there by the way... Hope you'll text me sometime
#2. excuse me ,Miss... do you have an iPhone or an iPad ? I was wondering if it'll be ok to iMessage you sometime.. Oh, you don't have an iOS device...? Well here, you can have this, it's yours! So now can i iMessage you?
- on Christmas day , I'd walk or drive around wearing a santa suit with a giant red bag, handing free iPads to random people and kids, wishing them a Merry Christmas . I'll wrap them in ugly paper or a chocolate box or shirt box. They'd probably think its just candy or a shirt ..and why is it heavy.. Maybe even just a rock or something disgusting ... So they'll open it not expecting much then BAM!! It's a friggin iPad !! (yes, it's an old model iPad, but brand new nonetheless ... Old model or not, you're sure to bring a smile on people's faces that day... All for the meager price of $1 each......
No, actually. Here is what I think..
I think they want to keep a non-retina in play for the entry level tablet in both the Air and Mini lines. Next year they will do a iPad Mini C and iPad Air C style tablet with non-retina (or retina if costs are finally down)..
The point is.. If you look at the lines, they want a high end and ENTRY level iPad in each of the Air and Mini lines. THATS what this is about.. They just couldn't do a 5c style yet, they had WAY to much to do with the iPhone and iOS 7 this year.. NEXT year I'm betting we see a complete re-alligning of the iPads on the entry level... Just like we have seen it in their higher end line.
Yeah man, I know what you mean.
Everyone is saying that apple should have dropped the price on the 4th gen iPad (never gonna happen), just analyze it as a consumer, except from the freaking new processor both are exactly the same.
Cook would never give us last year (2 days ago) iPad for a lower price. It will never happen why? if I'm a new customer and only want to buy the 16GB iPad, i think it would be a good idea to save a couple of dollars and buy the previous generation instead of the new one, by doing that the sales of the new Air will drop significantly.
Let's be real, the Retina display (at least on the 9.7" iPad) it's not a new technology, so the prices are dropping every year, it's just plain insane to keep selling an 2nd generation on that price,
The second generation only exist so the customer will say this "nah, for the price of an outdated iPad i can buy a new Mini Retina, I'll just buy it", based only on research and advertisement Apple has to recover lots of money, so they should sell their new devices as much as they can.
You can even check the comments of many people saying that they will go for the new Mini Retina because of the price, it's just Apple playing with our minds on a psychological level and it has always worked for them why stop now?
Well I don't see anyone buying it either. That was a mistake by Apple to even leave the iPad 2 in production, my bet is that they will stop its production pretty soon once they notice that people are stupid but not THAT stupid. The best value here is the iPad mini 399 for a perfect size tablet with all the bells and whistles as the bigger brother, sign me up! I always liked mini's size better than the larger iPad and now they are making it on par in terms of specs, I say good job Apple I appreciate you're way of thinking!
Pricing the iPad 2 at $399 is a terrible idea, if Apple wants consumers to buy them. That's the one thing Apple doesn't want, though! They'd far rather have consumers buy the newer models, for a whole host of reasons.
The iPad 2's market now is fleet sales, and those customers need stability, continuity, and homogeneity. They probably also have tons of expensive hardware setup with 30-pin connectors, much of it custom, such as carts, kiosks, POS systems, etc. That's why it's also the only iPad without a Lightning connector.
If Apple priced the iPad 2 lower than that, they'd run the risk of people buying those instead of the newer models. I don't think it's about the profit margins (those would probably still be fine), I think it's about wanting to discourage ordinary customers from buying 2.5-year-old devices.
Exactly! iOS7 pretty much killed any usefulness that was left in the iPad 2. I feel bad for anyone who actually drops $300 on this thing. Laggy OS, crashing apps.. It really blows my mind that for the same money you get a brand new mini, with retina, and an A7. Oh, and all the latest software that runs the way its supposed to.
Keeping the iPad 2 on the market is crazy. Selling it at $399 is even crazier. $100 less than the iPad 5? Are you crazy? A5? That horrendous camera?
Here's the reasoning though:
Apple has a new iPad Air for $499.
It has a new Retina Mini for $399.
Apple really wanted a 9.7" iPad for $399. But it can't knock down the Retina 4th gen to $399, or else it is the same price as the Retina Mini.
Here's what Apple should have done:
$299 Mini with A5
$399 Retina Mini with A7
$399 Non-retina 9.7" iPad with an A6 and improved camera
$499 Retina 9.7" iPad with A7
Interesting thoughts... Unfortunately, having the same design (battery and all), but just slapping in a different chip isn't really possible. Apple would have had to done some level of redesign to this product to make it happen. Then, what do they call it? They couldn't call an A6 based iPad 2 and iPad 2.
What's even more interesting is that Apple seems to be removing the A6 from their lineup where possible. Obviously the 5c still has the A6, but I was very surprised to see the new mini get the A7. I also note that there isn't a A7x chip. I suppose the A7 is the first chip to power the iPad Retina resolution without the need for GPU augmentation. In the long run, this may be more cost effective for Apple due to economies of scale.
"Apple would have had to done some level of redesign to this product to make it happen."
Because the 3rd ipad used an A6X and improved camera, throwing those internals in the iPad 2 non-Retina body would have used very little R&D. Obviously the engineers know more than me, but it would be even less work than making a 5C because even the design of the body is 90% the same. Although you would want to avoid the 30-pin, so really, we would want a 4th gen and 2nd gen amalgam.
"Then, what do they call it? They couldn't call an A6 based iPad 2 and iPad 2."
That's always the challenge for the marketing folks, but naming difficulty is not a reason to avoid a product. Basically, an upgraded iPad 2 would be an iPad 2S, but that is a terrible name. They could have simply called it iPad. Line-up would be iPad Mini, iPad Mini with Retina Display, iPad, iPad Air.
The iPad 2 needs to be more of a 5c in power than an iPhone 4. Can you imagine selling the iPhone 4 today for $99? That's what is happening here with the iPad 2.
Let the consumers speak with their wallets. This is strictly a cash grab by Apple but if consumers are buying them then who can blame Apple. I truly feel only an uninformed customer would buy this though. It seems like Apple may not have been happy with the 3rd or 4th gen iPads.
Seems like the iPad 2 is priced not to move but priced to push you to the new iPads. If the 2 was a great deal to get into iPad people may say I don't need A7 or Retina. With it being 399 people may say hell I may as well get the new one for 100 bucks more. And if they sell some iPad 2's at 399 good for them it more money more money.
I was at a Apple store last week and when I asked the Genius jokingly do you take cash? He said if it's money paper or plastic Apple will take it. Apple could care less if we think the pricing is crazy. It is crazy..... Crazy smart.

It's smart marketing by Apple. Why keep selling devices that have reasonable performance but are 32 bit when they can discontinue them, give people the choice of a 2 1/2 year old tablet and price it where it is just not as desirable while having much more desirable devices that are running the latest A7 processor with Retina display. People would rather buy a device that has decent performance and will be able to upgrade at least through one or two iterations of iOS than one that is almost definitely on its way out next year and will probably struggle to run iOS 8.
I can bet that people will spent they hard earned money on either the iPad Mini 2 with Retina or the iPad Air. Both 64 bit and both with Retina display.
I was surprised to see the iPad 2 keep the same $399 as well. I know there's a difference between a full-sized iPad and an iPad Mini, but the price Apple is asking for is just insane! If iPad 2 is targeted for education, and if students and schools are smart, they should never get the iPad 2 and instead get an retina iPad Mini or the cheapest iPad available: iPad Mini 1st gen.
You can also get a refurbished iPad 4th gen for $30 cheaper than the iPad 2 which makes it a even more idiotic purchase.
Why apple kept the iPad 2? because they don't want retina competition against the Air! Just like they did with iPhone 5, they kept the 4s because 4s can't compete with the iPhone 5s. Why they kept 399 price ? Because they think we are stupid (and we are) I already read some comments about the iPad 2 excellent choice for kids, grandpas, schools etc. and that is exactly what they know. I wouldn't even think of giving iPad 2 as a gift to anyone since I will feel embarrassing of gifting that old technology. Why they do this , apple, Verizon, AT&T, ripping us off ? Because we do nothing but keep doing businesses with they.
I've worked in retail and you would be surprised how many people ask for the lower end models of everything and anything. Some people just don't care about staying up to date with the latest and greatest, as long as it is cheaper. And yes, in some instances I also consider them idiots for settling for older technology based on price.
Also keep in mind there is a huge volume of people who buy them for gifts who are not techies themselves. Grandparents, aunts/uncles and clueless parents. YOu might think that these days everyone would know about smartphones and are users themselves, but you'll be surprised. For example, I live outside the US and in my country lots of people work abroad (in the US and other countries). It's customary for them to buy gifts for their loved ones home, and they will get the cheapest thing they can find. :) I've seen some examples of this myself that leads to major disappointment by the receiver which in turn leads to hurt feelings by the giver ("you ungrateful brat..."). LOL
That is a very valid point and I have seen that as well. A majority of customers who shop at retail stores are traveling from other countries. You can usually tell when someone is a tourist right away and so in those cases it's ok to sell them something that may not be so new.
The iPad 2 at 399$ is not meant for consumers, it is meant for schools or other businesses that deploy a lot of them and have an infrastructure that is tailored to devices with the size of the iPad 2-4 and having a Dock Connector.
If a school has 150 iPad 2 and one gets dropped, they can't just buy an iPad Mini Retina instead, because that can't be charged in the iPad carts with their Dock Connector chargers.
It's cheaper for them to buy an old iPad 2 than to replace or modify the infrastructure.

Here are some of their comments:
We traveled to Montego Bay, Jamaica for an educational field experience visiting eight education sites to observe the classrooms and the culture. Going into the schools I had no idea what the behaviors of the children, the discipline styles, teaching styles, or the overall conduct and accepted behavior were going to be like in a foreign country…. I was given more insight into the differences that our cultural and societal expectations had on the way the students learned. - Megan Sniffin
I really enjoyed my trip to Jamaica. I was really looking forward to learning about the culture and education system of Jamaica before the trip. I learned a lot about myself, the other people on the trip and the Jamaican culture from the trip. One of the most memorable things I learned was about the schools. … Other than the school system, I also learned a lot about the Jamaican culture itself. I liked how relaxed everyone there is. In the United States, everyone is so rushed to get from place to place, but in Jamaica, there are no worries. – Katie Dillon

Commissioners weighing depth of cuts that could help close budget gap
Also unhappy: the San Diego Port Tenants Association, the group that represents hundreds of major businesses that lease port land, from ship builders and marinas to hotels and restaurants.
That's the group that also helps contribute to the art fund. Part of the art fund comes from port revenues; the other from a 1 percent art charge that tenants are assessed when building projects cost $1 million or more.
Port tenants are therefore watching money collected for the stated purpose of public art go instead to prop up the port's operating budget.
If the port's art program is to be downsized, the tenant group's Sophie Silvestrie said to the port commissioners May 10, the assessment on tenants should be reduced as well.
"We support the port downsizing or eliminating from the budget the port's public art program," she said. "We are asking that you give to your tenants the same relief that you are seeking for yourself."
The commissioners nevertheless chose to keep collecting the tenant's money for the original purpose of art.
"The money, from where I sit, is fungible," Smith said.
To others, like Carl Richardson, art is an expensive luxury for a public entity.
Richardson has been running his marine repair business along the San Diego Bay for 15 years and sees the art as a waste of money.
"It's fine that people do what they want, and people who have money should spend whatever they want for art, but a government institution that's collecting taxes and gets their money from fees and operations and permitting everybody before they can do this or that should not have the option, willy nilly, of granting tens and tens of thousands of dollars (for art)," he said.
In all, the Port's public art program has placed 100 pieces of art around port tidelands, its properties and its buildings to the tune of more than $8 million.

Bass Pro Shops Goes Mobile With New Sales Solution
PCMS, one of the US's leading providers of retail IT services, has commenced a pilot of mobile sales devices for Bass Pro Shops.
Bass Pro Shops will be one of North America's earliest adopters of mobile devices in retail and believes it will make a significant difference to customer experience by reducing the amount of time customers spend waiting in line.
Furthermore, in using PCMS' system, Bass Pro Shops is able to integrate the mobile POS solution with existing customer-facing technology minimizing investment and enabling faster implementation.
The pilot is taking place in two phases; the first of which will see iPod Touch technology in pilot stores in February 2012 to make an immediate impact in reducing waiting times by enabling customers' purchases to be scanned while waiting in line. The transaction is then suspended until the customer reaches the register to conclude payment. Stage two will enable payments to be taken via the iPod Touch, reducing transaction times even further.
Steve Brock, director of retail and direct marketing systems at Bass Pro Shops, commented: "We faced challenges in managing wait times and we wanted to find an fast and easy-to-implement solution that would integrate with our POS. Following PCMS' Core Product strategy, we are able achieve this, as well as making future enhancements easier to implement. We are looking forward to implementing mobile sales solutions across our stores and seeing our customers' shopping experiences continue to improve."
Martyn Osborne, head of global product development for PCMS commented: "Retailers need an ever increasing degree of flexibility with in-store technology so that they can offer more ways to engage with customers, improve customer service, and reduce waiting times and lines at the register. Our mobile solution builds on the investment we've made in Vision BeanStore by offering the already rich POS capabilities on a mobile device without significant investment in a whole new solution. We're particularly excited about bringing this innovation to Bass Pro Shops as they offer a way to delight their customer. For more information, visit ww.pcmsdatafit.com

Wendy Hermon, from Eton-based charity Swan Lifeline, became concerned after two swans were found in Windsor with wounds believed to have been caused by airgun pellets.
Mrs Hermon, treatment centre and rescue co-ordinator at the charity at Cuckoo Weir Island, South Meadow Lane, said: "We have had quite a few of these incidents over the last year. I don't know whether people are doing it for fun or for food, but it just seems to be getting worse.
"I'm really worried that the people who have done this will come back and do it again."
On Wednesday last week, a male swan was found dead floating in backwaters around Cuckoo Weir Island at around 4pm. Later that day, at 6.15pm, a member of the public spotted its female mate with a wounded cheek in the river at Barry Avenue, Windsor.
Swan Lifeline will care for the injured swan before releasing her back into the wild and Mrs Hermon said she is 'recovering well'.
The charity also cared for three swans which were shot in Windsor in May. The shots were believed to be fired from an airgun.
Thames Valley Police are investigating and a spokesman said: "We urge anyone with any information about the shooting of these two swans to come forward and get in contact with us to help with our enquiries."
Anyone with information about the incident should call police on non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Soooo... any interest in a possible TWEWY RP? I finished the iOS version a few weeks ago, and am slowly working to 100% completion. Anyway, TWEWY seems to be perfect sort of RP setting: self-contained, character-driven, straightforward action via the Reapers' Game but with room for greater twists, and so on. And the nature of the Reapers' Game means we have a lot of freedom: we can set it somewhere other than Shibuya, with a completely original cast. Heck, we could even do a Pokemon cross and set it in the Pokemon world and have Pokemon take the place of pins.
I'm fairly certain @Grit; would be interested, but what about the rest of you?

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Matthew Chapman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 16 July 2012 01:00PM
The brand was left without a marketing director after Paine jumped ship on 24 February to join Universal Pictures UK as its new vice-president of marketing.
Following Paine's departure general manager David Yarnton stepped in to oversee the Nintendo marketing team with the assistance of head of home console marketing Rob Lowe, who has since left for BBC Worldwide.
Senior managers James Honeywell, Ben Taylor and Jo Bartlett will report directly into Pearce, who joined the company in 1998 and has held the head of European PR role since 2002.
Pearce said: "This is an exciting time to be joining the UK team with two major hardware launches on the horizon, Nintendo 3DS XL on 28th July and Wii U later this year.
"I started my Nintendo career as part of the UK team and it's great to return as we start this new chapter in our company's history."
Nintendo is about to embark on a new entertainment strategy in partnership with content companies including Netflix by leveraging the second-screen capabilities of its upcoming Wii U console.
The gaming company hopes the entertainment strategy will help turn around its fortunes after it posted its first ever annual loss this year. It is struggling to cope with the growth of gaming on smartphones and tablets and the flop of its 3DS handheld computer.

Home Sittingbourne News Article
NHS Swale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has been allocated the extra money by NHS England for its 2014/15 budget. It represents a 2.63% increase on the previous year's £124.5 million.
Guy Nicholson, Labour's prospective 2015 General Election candidate for Sittingbourne and Sheppey, said the additional funding "was welcomed by all politicians".
But he added: "This extra £3.13 million falls short of what is needed to tackle the shocking health problems we are up against – this represents nothing short of a cut to our local NHS service."
CCG plans and buys healthcare for people in Sheppey, Sittingbourne and surrounding villages.
The budget increase follows NHS England's move towards awarding extra funds to areas depending on population growth, deprivation and "the impact of an ageing population".
Dr Fiona Armstrong, chairman of CCG, said the allocation which went "someway to addressing the shortfall in our budget".
Swale is the third-most deprived district in the county and has an average life expectancy of 79, the lowest of the eight CCG areas.
Among its 106,000 population is an increasing number of elderly people and an above average number of under-fives.
Smoking and obesity are higher than average, and the rate of diabetes is joint highest in Kent along with Thanet.
Mr Nicholson, who was selected as his party's parliamentary candidate last year, said: "Over a distance of 10 miles between two communities in Sittingbourne and Sheppey, your life expectancy drops by 10 years.
"Alongside our hospitals, our GP service is vital in helping us prevent and fight ill health, and we should be clear and loud with our demands for resources, something the Conservatives in Swale choose not to do."

Sean Hartgrove and the people at Inkspired Magazine were generous enough to feature Dead Era in their latest issue. You can check it out here. Read the full interview with our founder, Mac, for some insight into what makes Dead Era tick.
In conjunction with the feature, Sean shot a full editorial lookbook. Enjoy below.
I took a class in college that resonated with me. It was a basic Sales 101 course, but as many of you know, the professor is largely determinant of the amount of education provided. This guy was the image of a good professor – his lessons spanned far and wide outside of the necessary curriculum, but all kept his subject peripheral.
One lesson that stuck out to me was the idea of taking personal inventory regularly. In order to sell yourself to the world (and to yourself), you have to first know what you have to sell. The product that I was looking to sell was one of authenticity and drive, not motivated by money, but the pursuit of objective truth and value in my life.
So, I scribed it on my bathroom mirror. I had a few messages: "DO SOMETHING TODAY," "BE THAT GUY THEY TALK ABOUT," "DON'T BE A ZOMBIE," or "BRING VALUE." It looked creepy to my girlfriend, who, at the time, hadn't been warned of my self-improvement tactics that seemed kind-of culty… But, it worked. For me, seeing my most salient messages splayed in front of me on a regular basis was sort-of painful, but it was good.
There were definitely mornings that I would look at myself, framed by the annoying self-directed pep-talk messages, that I did not feel like I was living up to my potential. But, I accepted it, I took inventory of my flaws and strengths, and I progressed. Dead Era is largely a spawning of personal inventory, an extension of my life philosophy to bring value, and do something real. I know sometimes I fail, but it is all a learning process that makes the brand (and me) a better thing.
So, in honor of taking inventory, and striving to provide value, here's TEN people who have done something incredible.
1. Yasuo Takamatsu is learning how to scuba dive in order to find the remains of his wife, who is one of the 2,636 missing people from Japan's tsunami that claimed over 15,000 lives.
2. Alan Kempster lost his right arm and leg in '90 when a drunk driver crashed into his motorcycle. Alan continues to race his motorcycle and waterski.
3. Ken, a 9-year-old boy from the Phillipines, started a no-kill shelter to help the stray animals that live near his home.
4. Former British Staff Sergeant Wayne Ingram raised over $160,000 to pay for the surgical procedures in order to correct Stefan Savic's life-threatening facial deformities.
5. Jacklyn Mellott came across a Craigslist ad, a desperation effort of a son whose mother needed a new kidney and was far down the waitlist. She saw it as a sign, came in for testing, and was a perfect match. She'll be undergoing the procedure in June.
6. Students from Université Laval in Quebec build a tear-drop shaped car that achieves an efficiency of 2,824 miles per gallon (that's LA to NY in less than a gallon of fuel).
7. Will Pemble builds his son a 180-ft roller coaster in his back yard to make learning Math and Physics more fun.
8. Gregory Kloehn, a California-based artist, gave up selling expensive sculptures to the affluent to build shelters for the homeless.
9. Amputee soldiers – dubbed the Kilimanjaro Warriors – scale the tallest mountain in Africa with the assistance of Lt. Col. Steve Connelly, a former Air Force pilot with a passion for helping wounded soldiers. Steve raised $100,000 from sponsors to make the climb possible.
10. Imperial Tattoo Company in Sugar Land, TX halted operations of their tattoo parlor to devote their skills to help break the stigma against homosexuality and self-expression. Imperial Tattoo Co. raised $5,400 by tattooing hundreds of My Little Pony tattoos, and donated the money to the Michael Morones Foundation, a fund set up to assist the boy who attempted suicide after being bullied for having a My Little Pony lunch-box, as well as the Crisis Intervention of Houston organization.

"We do it better, we profit with honor."
This has been the guiding principle of LWV Corporation as it continues to sail through three decades of reshaping the lives of Filipino workers and contributing to the overseas employment industry of the Philippines.
LWV Corporation is a licensed general engineering firm registered with the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board and an international recruitment agency accredited by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration. For thirty years now, it has recruited and deployed more than 50,000 Filipino workers of various skills and professions to the Middle East, Asia and South America. Most of the workers deployed were in the construction industry as LWV's expertise in construction paved the way to a partnership with one of the largest construction companies in the Middle East.
LWV Corporation's success can be attributed to the high recruitment standards it maintains and the quality of training programs it offers to skilled workers to ensure job competency and complying with the standard qualifications required by employers.
LWV Corporation's unwavering commitment to truly help Filipino workers is evident in its policy not to collect fees from applicants but to charge a reasonable amount to employers to cover service fees. This system has resulted in unbiased and honest recommendations to its principals.
LWV Corporation will continue to be profoundly committed in bringing closer international employment opportunities to highly competent Filipino workers and professionals.

Khartoum — Speaking during his final visit to Sudan before the end of his two-year appointment as US special envoy to Darfur, Dane Smith stated that "militias seem to be more and more out of control" in Darfur, on Wednesday, 12 December.
According to Smith, the situation is particularly bad in North Darfur, although Nyala and Misterei, in South and West Darfur, have also seen other "disturbing" incidents.
He suggested that the increased militias' attacks could be linked to reduced financial support from a government facing economic difficulties.
At the same time, Smith declared that the government of Sudan shows "little interest" in prosecuting perpetrators, also those who have been implicated in attacks on UNAMID peacekeepers.
He asserted that although the government announced investigations into attacks on UNAMID peacekeepers carried out by both militia and bandits, "there never are any results".
"In our view the government of Sudan needs to show its commitment to the idea that UNAMID is a partner" in bringing peace and protecting civilians, the special envoy stated.
Smith said that the rule of law is "absent" in Darfur and a special prosecutor was not effective in arresting or prosecuting perpetrators and a special court was not operating.
According to reports, a total of 43 UNAMID peacekeepers have been killed in hostile actions, five of which were killed in two separate attacks last October.
Besides, the Mission has allegedly suffered 13 attacks since the signing of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD) in 2010.
"Limited implementation"
The US special envoy has also expressed his disappointment with the "very limited implementation" of the Doha peace deal, "particularly of those provisions that bring tangible benefits to the displaced and refugees".
Shortage of funding for the Darfur Reconstruction and Development Fund and lack of government action in disarming militias were problems mentioned by Smith.
As the Doha donors conference approaches -it has now been postponed for next year- participants including the United States face an "increasingly difficult" time getting staff into Darfur to assess and supervise their aid projects, according to Smith.
Nevertheless, Smith said the United States still considered the Doha deal a "good basis for peace". He also encouraged other rebel groups to join the peace process.
"Excessive force" against students
Smith affirmed he is "unhappy about the excessive force used against Darfuri students demonstrating" against the payment of tuition fee as stipulated on the Doha Document.
He described the events as "shocking" and asserted he raised the issue during meetings with Sudanese officials during his visit to Khartoum.

The Slav is one of the primary defenses to the Queen's Gambit. Although it was analyzed as early as 1590, it wasn't until the 1920s that it started to be explored extensively. Many masters of Slavic descent helped develop the theory of this opening, including Alapin, Alekhine, Bogoljubov, and Vidmar. The Slav received an exhaustive test during the two Alekhine–Euwe World Championship matches in 1935 and 1937. Played by 11 of the first 13 world champions, this defense was particularly favored by Euwe, Botvinnik, and Smyslov. More recently the Slav has been adopted by Anand, Ivanchuk, Lautier, Short, and other top grandmasters, and it was used in six of the eight games that Vladimir Kramnik played as Black in the 2006 World Championship (in the other two, he played the related Semi-Slav Defense). Today the theory of the Slav is very extensive and well developed.
The Slav addresses all of these problems. Black's queen bishop is unblocked, the pawn structure remains balanced, and the move Bg5 is not yet threatening as the unmoved black pawn on e7 prevents the pin. Also, if Black later takes the gambit pawn with ...dxc4, the support provided by the pawn on c6 allows ...b5 which may threaten to keep the gambit pawn or drive away a white piece that has captured it, gaining Black a tempo for queenside expansion.
On the other hand, Black usually won't be able to develop the queen bishop without first giving up the center with ...dxc4, and moving this bishop may leave the Black queenside weak. Additionally, the thematic c5 break will lose a tempo.
The Slav Exchange Variation takes most of the fun out of the Slav for Black. After 3.cxd5 cxd5, the symmetrical position offers White only the advantage of the extra move, but the drawish position offers Black little chance to win unless White is overly ambitious. To avoid this possibility Black often chooses the move order 2...e6 followed by 3...c6 to enter the Semi-Slav.
Black can also transpose into the Semi-Slav Defense by playing ...e6 on either the third or fourth move. The Semi-Slav Defense, a kind of a combination Orthodox Defense and Slav Defense, is a very complex opening in its own right. See Semi-Slav Defense for details.
After 3.Nc3, the pressure on Black's center prevents 3...Bf5?, since after 4.cxd5 cxd5 5.Qb3 White wins a pawn. Another Black try that doesn't work is 3...Nf6 4.e3 Bf5 5.cxd5 cxd5 6.Qb3 Bc8 and now f4 and Nf3 followed by Ne5 gives White a big advantage. Black can try the Winawer Countergambit, 3.Nc3 e5, which was introduced in Marshall–Winawer, Monte Carlo 1901, but usually Black transposes into the Semi-Slav with either 3...e6 or 3...Nf6 4.Nf3 e6.
White's other knight move is more popular than Nc3. White can avoid the complexities of the Slav Accepted by entering the Slav Declined with 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3. A common continuation is 4...Bf5 5.cxd5 cxd5. White will try to take advantage of the absence of Black's queen bishop on the queenside, but this isn't enough to gain an advantage if Black plays accurately.
The main line continues 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3.
Black shouldn't play 4...Bf5 because White will gain the advantage with either 5.Qb3 or 5.cxd5 followed by 6.Qb3. Traditionally Black had a choice between 4...e6 and 4...dxc4 before developing the queen bishop, but in the 1990s 4...a6 was introduced, with the idea of developing the queenside without locking in the queen bishop or conceding the center. As before, 4...e6 transposes into the Semi-Slav.
The Slav Accepted continues with 4...dxc4.
White's sharpest try is the Slav Gambit, 5.e4 b5. White will then usually continue with the Geller-Tolush Gambit, 6.e5 Nd5 7.a4 e6, but it is unclear whether the attack is strong enough for the sacrificed pawn. Evaluation of this line changes as improvements are found, but as of 2005 it is generally thought to favor Black.
White's other choices in the Slav Accepted are 5.e3 (Alekhine Variation) and 5.a4 (Alapin Variation). Both moves are popular, with 5.e3 being more solid and 5.a4 being more aggressive. With 5.a4 White acts against ...b5 and prepares 6.e4 and 7.Bxc4.
Black has several viable responses to White's pawn advance 5.a4:
The 5...a6 lines can be tricky. Black prepares to hold on to the gambit pawn with ...b5, and the game may transpose into the complex Meran Variation of the Semi-Slav.
With the Smyslov Variation, 5...Na6, Black intends to gain counterplay by bringing the knight to b4 with 6.e4 Bg4 7.Bxc4 e6 8.0-0 Nb4.
The Czech Variation can be considered the main line. With 5...Bf5, Black prevents 6.e4. If White plays 6.e3 (Dutch Variation), play can continue 6...e6 7.Bxc4 Bb4 8.0-0 0-0 with a fairly quiet game.
A more energetic line begins 6.Ne5 (Krause Attack) where White intends f2-f3 and e2-e4 or Nxc4, followed by a fianchetto of the king bishop with g2-g3 and Bg2. Black can try either 6...Nbd7 7.Nxc4 Qc7, which may leave White a bit better, or 6...e6 7.f3 Bb4, when 8.e4 Bxe4 9.fxe4 Nxe4 is a complex piece sacrifice with the possible continuation 10.Bd2 Qxd4 11.Nxe4 Qxe4+ 12.Qe2 Bxd2+ 13.Kxd2 Qd5+ 14.Kc2 Na6.
In the Steiner Variation (also called the Bronstein Variation), 5...Bg4, White may be discouraged from e4 by the possibility 6.e4 e5. More often the game continues 6.Ne5 Bh5.

I disagree here. Your examples here show the difference between
theory and application. With the exception of spinlock verses
semaphore you are talking about application specific topics that
a programmer is going to have to learn in each situation.
There is a basic level of knowledge that I would expect from a
hire at Z-World. I expect them to have a certain level of
general knowledge about the field like the trade offs between
hashes, trees, lists, etc. I also expect them to have competency
in specific skills and application domains like knowing the C
language. For a software engineering position, I don't want
to have to explain link lists or how to program in C. I want
someone that will take a look a design proposal and be able
to discuss the relative merits and choices that can be made.
I think many people can look up how to initialize the GTK+
library, but the same people are going to have a hard time
understanding the distinctions between spin locks and semaphores
without some breadth of knowledge that most people would have
a problem finding on the Internet. If you do a search on
spin lock good lucking finding a definition. I glanced
through the OS books that I have and they didn't mention
it either, though I do remember it being talked about in
one of my OS classes.
I am not knocking learning on your own, but giving some
guidelines for learning that will make sense for different
goals. If you want to be a professional software engineer
it is getting more difficult to do that without a degree.
Possible, but more difficult, especially with the bubble

I think that we are pretty much saying the same thing. I
suspect you would be board silly in the basic C courses, but
you might get something out of the data structures and
algorithm courses that would help your past time. When
the past time becomes a career then it may be a different
matter. Your physics degree gives you a leg up because
it shows that you can problem solve and have probably been
exposed to computers over someone without a degree when
you are looking for a job.

Absolutely. There was (probably is) an easy path to a CS degree
at Davis, where you do the minimum necessary to graduate. That
person will probably not make a good programmer because they
don't have either the spark or acquired the knowledge that
was offered to them.

Agreed. You have to love to tinker and have a high tolerance
for frustration to program. I saw many people in the CS program
that did not have either trait and are probably not programmer
now (5 years later).

When playing around with iSeries Navigator to help Grizzly out on the midrange-l, I noticed a feature, Host Applications tab, Operating System/400 All object Access job log of *ALLOBJ job Currently most of our developers are set to not have *ALLOBJ access on our production machine. Some of them service programs running under special user profiles that have *ALLOBJ. Regardless of attempts to get them to adopt authority versus having the jobs run under a profile with *ALLOBJ they aren't budging. Now that I've discovered this new feature that will allow them to see the joblog and figure it out I am wondering if I should turn it on. I've yet to see anything in any of these special jobs job log that would be "curtains for the free world" if it was visible to the public. In fact, many versions of the OS ago this was not a concern and these developers could see the joblogs. Anyone see a drawback to opening it up? Rob Berendt

Torbay secondary schools top of table
Posted: November 28, 2012|
Secondary schools in Torbay have been put at the head of the class in newly published league tables.
According to Ofsted, 100% of pupils in the Bay are attending a senior school which has been judged to be good or outstanding.
Torbay is one of only nine local authorities out of 150 to have got full marks.
The leagues tables, published for the first time in the annual report of Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw, did not contain universally good news for young people in the area.
Related content
According to the report, only 70% of children attend primary schools which are judged to be good or excellent.
Overall, Torbay was highlighted in the report for the quality of its early years provision which was said to be in the top ten.
Torbay Council executive lead for children, schools and families, Councillor Chris Lewis, said the successful School Improvement Partnership would continue to be developed "so we can drive up standards even further to offer our children and young people the highest quality of teaching and education possible".

Rated 2 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by The breaststroker I wouldn't buy this again I am a competitive swimmer, who unfortunately gets swimmer's ear a lot. I decided to try these thinking well they are Nike they should be good. I was very wrong,the first couple times i wore them they were okay I had to fix them a bit, after a week they didn't stay in at all. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. December 10, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5�by JC48 Does not work very well Don't waste your money on this. Very difficult to mold to your ears to keep the water out without it getting pushed into your ear canal. The problem is that over time the plug tends to break apart and could possibly break apart leaving a portion in your ear canal. August 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by swimprof I wear these all the time You mold these into your ear canal...not too deep. But, they give you good protection from water-logged ears. Each piece is good for about 5 uses, then they don't work quite as well. But, if you want to keep water out of your ears, these are better than the plastic ear plugs...and you have more control over how you cover your ear canal. Remember, though, to replace them after about 5 uses or so, for best use. April 9, 2014

Hello Jack,ReplyDelete
My Great Grandmother was Emma Viola Coffee, married to Emory Young. I live in Denver Colorado, my brother (Gene Shoemake) told me about your geneology search of the Coffees' in Watauga County NC. He also said that you have a picture of GM Young posted on your site. I can't seem to find that. Can you help me?
I can't wait to read as much as I can about the Coffees.
Thank you so much for doing this for our family!
Michele Shoemake / 303-231-9315
Hi Michele - thanks for your visit and very nice comments. You can find a little write-up and photo of your G-grandmother here:ReplyDelete
Let me know if you need additional info.
My husband and I have bought the farmhouse on Hollifield Road in Blowing Rock and are currently renovating it to bring it up to today's standards. I'm interested in knowing which Hollifields and/or Coffeys lived here, and if any of their descendents are still in the area. Thanks!ReplyDelete

Hello I am the maker of the universal naked drivers so if you need to connect get that first here:
If any users is having issues with the Nexus 7 rooting ti may be cause you hit JB already which has all exploits closed. What you need to do is unlock the boot loader and push root to your system, here's how.
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Boot not flash custom recovery from fastboot
3) mount /System
4) /System is NOW accessible through
5) use ADB to push the SU through command
6) reboot done
If you download my Transformer Prime "Urkels Fresh Start" covers this and if you replace the files and use same commands you will be good to go.

Is this just for Nexus 7? Any guides for Nexus 4?
Posted 21 November 2012 - 20:25
Same process on Nexus 4
Boot custom recovery
mount /System
and push files to Nexus 4, the nexus 4 does not work with the normal superuser (ChainsDD) and the variant of Chainsfire is used for now. SuperSU
Posted 21 November 2012 - 20:32
I tried that, it just hands indefinately on "waiting for device" when I tell the program to unlock it.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 20:49
I think I know the issue, first you must uninstall any previous drivers and use mine (which is also the default for the toolkit).
Before you run the toolkit you need to install the driver multiple times, once per fastboot and once per ADB. each mode shows differently in devices manager so you must install it for each mode.
You are 100000% having a driver issue
Please read the red below form my drivers thread:
Warning: Uninstall any previous driver package's you may have installed and also manually remove drivers by attaching your phone and going to Windows device manager and right click the entry for your phone and select "Uninstall" on the next prompt make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device" then hit OK and reboot before installing these drivers
Posted 21 November 2012 - 21:21
Ok deleted all the drivers, I try to install them from the program but I get this

The government will relocate 6,000 people who live in areas prone to mudslides and floods in Kerio Valley under a land exchange programme. Some 13 people were killed by mudslides in the region last week following heavy rains.
The government has planned to have the families surrender their land in exchange for forest lands on the highlands of Keiyo South.Special Programmes minister Esther Murugi who visited the region after the mudslides said she will table a proposal to Cabinet to approve the planned land exchange.
She has confirmed that they are holding negotiations with the Forestry ministry to endorse the plan and allow part of the forests be given to the families.
"We have identified some 6,000 people living in the risky areas and the plan to relocate them is underway," said Keiyo South DC Arthur Bunde.
He said the affected families are living in very risky areas and the relocation will avert disasters which occur every year due to floods and mudslides.
More than 1,000 people were displaced by the mudslides and are yet to return to their homes.The government will issue title deeds to IDPs and forest evictees who have been resettled.Murugi has ordered the provincial administration to ensure the resettlement of the IDPs and evictees is completed by the end of the month.
The government has identified several pieces of land where the Mau and Embobut forests evictees alongside those displaced by the 2007-08 post-election violence will be resettled before the general election.
It government had set aside more than Sh3 billion for the resettlement but land was not readily available."We have identified land and we will resettle most of the victims in the next few weeks," Murugi said.
