Cairo, Jan 4 - At least 11 people were killed and 52 others injured Friday in clashes across Egypt between supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi and security forces, the health ministry said.
"Four were killed in Cairo, two in Alexandria, two in Ismailia and two in Fayoum and one in Beni Sweif," official news agency MENA quoted the health ministry's media adviser Ahmed Kamel as saying, Xinhua reported.
Kamel noted that seven of the injured people have been discharged from hospitals and the other 45 are still under treatment.
Following the Friday prayers, hundreds of Morsi's supporters took to main squares nationwide to protest against the armed forces, the police and the new draft constitution.
The protesters at Faysal district in Giza hurled Molotov cocktails at an armoured police vehicle and set it on fire. They also blocked the roads and fired at police officers.
State TV footage showed hundreds of Morsi's loyalists protesting in eastern Cairo's Nasar City, carrying posters against the interim government and Defence Minister Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi who led the ouster of Morsi in July.
Egyptian security forces have intensified their presence in Cairo's main streets following calls for renewed demonstrations by the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy, a pro-Morsi coalition led by the Muslim Brotherhood.
The coalition urged "the people to continue their rage and peaceful resistance" in preparation for another demonstration Jan 8, the date set for the second session of Morsi's trial over charges related to inciting violence and murdering of protesters outside the presidential palace in early December 2012.
The Islamists' protests are defiant to the government's protest law and the recent decision to declare the Brotherhood as "a terrorist group", only one day after a deadly blast hit a security building in Daqahliya province. (IANS)

Acted aloof and uninterested and now the girl is ignoring me?
As my name says, I AM CLUELESS about how to flirt, interact etc. with girls.So this girl I know for almost a year used to like me (physically at least). She would look at my way, trying to catch my eye and everything. But I am an idiot and tried to act cool, aloof and uninterested, in hopes of playing hard to get or whatever... I didn't flirt with her and now we are in some awkward situation... She IGNORES me while passing by, and I am too egoistical to acknowledge the fact, so I ALSO IGNORE her... HELP ME I REALLY LIKE THIS GIRL :(
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I'd ignore you too. If a guy ignores me then I presume he has no interest and move on. If I figure out that he's playing games then I'm turned off and my interest is gone. Just hope she is a little more forgiving than me and try to talk to her but don't be surprised if you've ruined your chance
So be honest with yourself you don't have to answer me but are you genuinely interested or is it the challenge you like?
MAYBE! maybe because she started ignoring me that I noticed... :(
Not from the US so don't get the whole thing with soroties. It was 9 months ago and probably long forgotten but again that depends on her personality. I have never gone where a friend or even close aquaintance has gone before as it can get messy. It may not impact on you at all but if you don't start actually acknowledging her you'll never have to worry about it. But is your interest heightened because she's turned the tables on you

What Girls Said 3
I agree with cazza
well. as someone who's shy with the opposite gender myself I feel your pain lol. but, I think all in all, most girls expect the guy to make the first move. yes, it kinda sucks, but that's just how it goes. men are typically the mor edominant ones, girls associate that with interest so if your not making a move she'll assume you aren't interested ! nothing major, just say HEY or WHATSUP. trust me ... if you just say hey a few times and make her feel like you wanna talk she'll come around.
lmao. well, that could actually work in your advantage if you made out with her (given that well, she didn't say anything bad about it) because people are intrigued by others who are wanted or have been wanted by others. as long as you don't come off as a player type. and if they aren't friends then it won't be as big of a deal for her to also possibly hook up with you lol.
Please look at the update... Any suggestions?
If you really like her that much, get off your high horse and say hi and be the first to initiate. Acting cold and aloof probably hurt her a lot if she really liked you, so that was just stupid on your part, and you need to fix it. Sorry, that was mean. =/
no, if it happened 9 months ago it doesn't matter anymore.
Please look at the update... Any suggestions?
What Guys Said 1
Be a man, sack up, go talk to her. You played it like a fool to begin with, don't play it like a fool now.
They aren't friends, that was months ago, and it was just making out (probably at a party, probably with alcohol). No big deal. Pay no mind to it unless she brings it up, then deal with it at that time. Otherwise, never mention it and don't let it affect your actions.
Please look at the update... Any suggestions?
You've known her for a year, but how is your rapport with her? Have you really never talked and only known of her? If so, perhaps a bit slower. If you're mostly friendly, but just don't speak often, you can move a bit faster because there's already a bit of a comfort level built up, even if it's small. You don't want to come on too strong, but you do want to assert that you like her sooner rather tan later.

Board attorney, county administrator fired, replaced
On successive split votes, the county Board of Supervisors voted Monday night to replace longtime Board attorney Andy Dulaney and county administrator Clifton Johnson.
Supervisor McKinley Daley, representing District 5, interrupted halfway through the regular meeting agenda to move that the Board "hire Ellis Pittman...to replace Dulaney Law Firm as Board attorney."
District 4's Henry Nickson quickly seconded, and before Board president James Dunn could get a handle on the developing situation, Phillis Williams of District 3 joined Daley and Nickson to oust Dulaney.
"Can you justify it?" Dunn broke in.

Wed, Aug. 20, 9:51 AM
- Woodside Petroleum (OTCPK:WOPEF, OTCPK:WOPEY) says it booked record first-half profit of $1.1B as it focuses on new exploration basins in frontier markets.
- Underlying profit, which stripped out losses linked to an asset sale in the Gulf of Mexico, jumped 33% Y/Y to $1.14B, in line with analyst forecasts.
- H1 revenues rose 24% Y/Y to $3.55B, helped by the resumption of oil output at Vincent after being idled for almost a year, combined with a full year of reliable production from the Pluto gas-export project offshore northwestern Australia.
- CEO Peter Coleman sees improved M&A opportunities; asked if Woodside would be interested in any Apache (NYSE:APA) assets in Australia, including the Wheatstone stake, the CEO said his company will "continue to look at those assets and other assets around the world."
Fri, Aug. 1, 8:23 AM
- Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) confirms that Woodside Petroleum (OTCPK:WOPEF, OTCPK:WOPEY) shareholders have scuttled a proposed $2.68B deal to buy most of its interest in the company, and is reviewing its options for its remaining 13.6% holding in Woodside.
- The two companies agreed in June that Woodside would buy back 9.5% of the company held by Shell, but the plan gained only 72% support of Woodside shareholders that cast a vote, which was below the approval threshold of 75%.
- The deal's end frustrates Woodside's attempt to remove a competitor as its biggest shareholder and take full control of its own destiny; for Shell, the proposal had formed part of its plan to sell $15B worth of assets, and it may now have to consider selling the Woodside shares on the market.
- Earlier: Woodside's $2.68B buyback plan with Shell looks set to fail.
Thu, Jul. 31, 5:58 PM
- Woodside Petroleum's (OTCPK:WOPEF, OTCPK:WOPEY) planned $2.68B share buyback from Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) appears on the brink of failure, based on a count of votes mailed in ahead of a shareholder meeting.
- Woodside says ~71% of votes cast so far were in favor, but 75% support is necessary to go ahead with the buyback, which would cut Shell's stake in the company to below 5%.
- Woodside, which faced investor concerns that Shell was getting preferential treatment, may opt to offer a buyback to all shareholders, but such a move still could leave Shell with a stake in excess of 10%.
- A rejection would dampen Shell's plan to raise $5B by trimming most of its 23% stake in Australia's second biggest oil and gas company.
Wed, Jul. 23, 5:47 PM
- Woodside Petroleum (OTCPK:WOPEF, OTCPK:WOPEY) Chairman Michael Chaney is defending its plan to buy back $2.68B of stock from Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) amid concern investors may reject the deal.
- The agreement to buy back shares for A$36.49 each, a 15% discount, is part of last month's $5B deal in which Shell would trim its 23% stake in Woodside - a "great deal" for Shell, according to Macquarie analysts who say Woodside investors voting on the transaction Aug. 1 may block the buyback.
- But spreading the $2.68B among all investors wouldn't realize the central aim of getting Shell out of Woodside's hair, so long-term investors "would be wise to stand aside and let Woodside emerge from its Shell," Heard on the Street's Rebecca Thurlow writes.
Mon, Jun. 30, 10:57 AM
- Cheniere Energy (LNG +2.5%) hits a new all-time high after Australia's Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY) agrees to buy 850K metric tons/year of liquefied natural gas from the second train of LNG's Corpus Christi export project.
- The agreement has a 20-year term beginning at the date of first commercial delivery of the second train, with an extension option of up to 10 years; deliveries from Train 2 are expected to occur in 2019.
- The Corpus Christi Liquefaction Project is being designed and permitted for up to three trains, with aggregate design production capacity of 13.5M metric tons/year of LNG.
Tue, Jun. 24, 9:53 AM
- Talisman Energy (TLM -0.4%) says it has hired Miro Advisors to sell its stake in the A$1.4B (US$1.3B) Laminaria-Corallina oil fields off northern Australia operated by Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY).
- TLM's sale of its stake in the project is part of efforts to help cut net debt that stood at $3.8B at the end of March and focus capital on a smaller number of core assets.
- Woodside owns 59.9% of the Laminaria project and 66.67% of the Corallina field while TLM owns the rest; production, which started in 1999, has declined as the fields age.
Thu, Jun. 19, 8:35 AM
- Cnooc (CEO) reportedly is in talks to buy 30%-40% of the Aphrodite gas field in Cyprus; Noble Energy (NBL) owns 70% of the rights of the field, and Delek Group (DGRLY) energy exploration units Avner Oil and Gas and Delek Drilling each own 15%.
- Aphrodite contains ~4T cf of natural gas, enough to justify developing an FLNG which would allow Cnooc to export gas to Chinese companies.
- Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY), a partner in the Leviathan field offshore Israel, also is interested in becoming a partner in the Cypriot field, but Cnooc is said to have a better chance of concluding a deal.
Tue, Jun. 17, 7:40 AM
- Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) says it plans to sell most of its stake in Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY) for $5.7B, in the biggest deal orchestrated by CEO Ben van Beurden since he took over in January.
- The selldown reduces Shell's holding in Woodside to 4.5% from 23.1%.
- Shell aims to sell ~$15B in assets globally by the end of next year as part of a drive to cut spending and streamline operations, and already has raised $2.6B from the sale of an Australian refinery and network of filling stations.
Sun, May. 11, 5:47 AM
- Delek Drilling (DKDRF) and Avner Oil (AVOGF) have raised $2B in international bonds that the companies will use to finance the development of the massive Leviathan natural-gas field off the coast of Israel.
- The offering attracted demand of $13.5B and was over-subscribed by 650%.
- Avner and Delek Drilling, which are subsidiaries of Delek Group (DGRLY), hold a combined 45.34% in Leviathon, while Noble Energy (NBL) owns a stake of 39.66% and is the field's operator. Ratio Oil (RTEXF) holds the remaining 15%; Australia's Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF) has agreed to buy 30% from the partners.
- ETFs: GHYG, IBND, PICB, CEMB, GLCB
Thu, Apr. 3, 12:55 PM
- A tax dispute between Israel and Australia's Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY) threatens to delay gas production from the giant Leviathan field, while the government is also forcing oil firms to spend more on pipelines than they expected.
- In the tax dispute, the government wants to depreciate Woodside's initial $1.2B investment over the 30-year lifespan of the Leviathan field, while the company argues for a shorter 10-year term, and a shorter depreciation period shields more of Woodside's investment from tax.
- At the same time that tax issues delay the entry of a critical partner, the government secured pledges from the four Leviathan stakeholders - Noble Energy (NBL), Delek Drilling (DKDRF), Avner (AVOGF) and Ratio Oil for the construction of 12B cm of pipeline capacity from Leviathan to Israel.
- The squeeze could push the project $1B or more over budget, a source tells Reuters.
Fri, Mar. 28, 10:57 AM
- Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY) has delayed signing an expected agreement to partner with Noble Energy (NBL +1.8%) and take up to a $2.7B stake in Israel's Leviathan gas field, reportedly balking at a push by the Israeli government to cut the potential share of profits from liquefied natural gas exports to Asia.
- RBC Capital still sees a good chance that the deal will get done, adding that preliminary guidelines released by Israeli regulators for Leviathan are in-line with its previous expectations; the firm keeps an Outperform rating on NBL.
Wed, Mar. 26, 8:05 AM
- Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY) is expected to sign a $2.71B deal to buy a 25% stake in the Leviathan gas field this week, Globes reports.
- Also, more than 10 bids from Turkish and foreign companies reportedly have been submitted for the purchase of 7B-10B cubic meters/year of gas from the field.
- Noble Energy (NBL) owns a 39.66% stake in the field.
Fri, Feb. 7, 7:51 AM
- Israel takes a step closer to becoming a natural gas exporter after Australia's Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY) signs a preliminary agreement to buy a 25% stake in the east Mediterranean Leviathan gas field for up to $2.55B.
- Noble Energy (NBL) will remain the project's lead partner with a 30% stake, while the other groups involved, Israel's Delek Group (DGRLY, DLKGF), Avner Oil and Ratio Oil, will each sell one-quarter of their stakes to Woodside.
- Leviathan is estimated to hold ~19T cf of natural gas, enough to supply all of Europe for more than a year.
Thu, Feb. 6, 12:37 PM
- InterOil (IOC +3.4%) moves higher on a report suggesting that Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY) may enter into IOC's Papua New Guinea gas projects.
- In related news, Reuters reports the country has decided to raise A$1.68B to pay off a bond it issued to Abu Dhabi in 2009 instead of giving up a strategic stake in oil and gas producer Oil Search (OISHF, OISHY).
- Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B), Total (TOT) and Woodside are said to be eyeing a possible stake in Oil Search, which owns a 29% stake in the $19B PNG liquefied natural gas project.
Thu, Jan. 16, 5:13 PM
- Australia's Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY) is awarded exclusive rights to proceed with a proposed liquefied natural gas terminal at the undeveloped Grassy Point site on British Columbia's Pacific coast.
- The Woodside project is one of nearly a dozen proposals for plants to export surplus natural gas from the Canadian province, none of which have been formally approved yet by their corporate sponsors.
Tue, Jan. 14, 11:39 AM
- Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) wants to sell some of its North Sea oil fields as part of a $15B divestment program over the next two years, FT reports.
- Shell reportedly would divest mature upstream assets in the North Sea and elsewhere, more of its refining portfolio and some projects that have not yet reached final investment decision.
- Analysts believe some of Shell's Nigerian oil blocks plus a 23.1% stake in Woodside Petroleum (WOPEF, WOPEY) - worth more than $6B at current prices - could be put on the block, Reuters reports.
- "In the North Sea, something like 80% of [Shell's] production comes from 20% of its asset base, so there's a long tail of smaller positions," Santander's Jason Kenney says, adding that he expects Shell under new CEO Ben Van Beurden to focus on capital discipline, better returns and selling peripheral assets.

"The Simpsons" aired its 500th episode Sunday.
Just let that sink in for a moment. Five hundred episodes. Do you know what the longest-running animated show before "The Simpsons" was? "The Flintstones," at 166.
Ronald Reagan was still in the White House when "The Simpsons" started on "The Tracey Ullman Show" in 1987 (the first official episode of the series aired on Dec. 17, 1989). The Soviet Union was still together. A gallon of gas was only $1.12.
"The Simpsons" outlived all of the stereotypical '80s and '90s television shows it parodied and now has shows parodying it (which might be a reason for the uncalled-for hate of the more recent seasons, but that's another story). "The Simpsons" surviving 23 years to get to this point is nothing short of inspiring.
Choosing just 2 percent of the episodes over 23 seasons for my top 10 list wasn't easy (it was actually painful to not include many). But, honestly, when it comes to "The Simpsons," there's almost no bad choice. Everyone's favorite dysfunctional family did everything right to become the most beloved animated show of all time, and the series will hopefully continue to be a force for years to come.
1. "Who Shot Mr. Burns"
Parts 1 and 2
(Seasons 6-7)
Only "The Simpsons" could make a cartoon murder mystery this engaging. With everyone in the town a suspect, the ending was destined to be a shocker. But I couldn't see the solution to this one coming even if you told me who did it two weeks in advance. With one of the greatest cliffhangers of all time and a mind-blowing ending, "Who Shot Mr. Burns" is an absolute classic.
2. "Tree House of Horror V"
(Season 6)
You could pick any of the fantastic Halloween specials and have made a good choice, but V has been my favorite since I was 10. From "The Shining" parody to "that fog that turns people inside out," this was 30 minutes of comedy gold.
3. "Homer's Barbershop Quartet"
(Season 5)
Homer's Beatles-like journey from forming a quartet to playing on the rooftop of Moe's Tavern can touch any Beatles fan's heart. The episode hit legendary status for me when George Harrison shows up at Homer's rooftop concert to note: "It's been done."
4. "Homer at the Bat"
(Season 3)
Its hard to say what's funnier: the ending of this episode or what happens to the collection of major league players Mr. Burns recruits for the company team. If the words "Roger Clemens," "hypnotist" and "chicken" mean anything to you, then you probably have fond memories of this episode.
5. "Marge vs. the Monorail"
(Season 4)
Written by Conan O'Brien, this episode is a gem. Perfectly crafted, with a hilarious appearance by Leonard Nimoy and even a musical number, this is one of those rare episodes in which everything that could go right does.
6. "Mr. Plow"
(Season 4)
Homer starts a snowplow business and becomes bitter rivals with Barney over plow supremacy. It sounds like the kind of episode you come up with by throwing darts at a board, but leave it to "The Simpsons" to make such an odd concept a classic. Plus it has Homer rapping, which earns bonus points.
7. "The City of New York
vs. Homer Simpson"
(Season 9)
Homer's journey through New York City is priceless. Watching the rest of the family's perfect day in the city (including a trip to the offices of Mad Magazine) while Homer just can't catch a break is entertaining every time I see it. What's especially lovable is the painstaking detail that went into recreating Manhattan, something anyone who loves New York can appreciate.
8. "Flaming Moe's"
(Season 3)
A splash of grape cough syrup, random drinks and a match end up making Moe famous at Homer's expense. It's hard to pick the funniest part of this episode: the fact that the secret to everyone's new favorite drink is kid's cough syrup, Aerosmith's guest appearance at Moe's Tavern or Homer finally snapping just before he was going to get paid for the idea.
9. "How I Spent My
Strummer Vacation"
(Season 14)
Homer ends up at the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. Do I really need to go on? Anyone who's ever played air guitar or dreamed of being a rock star can relate. The Stones leading a mob of angry rockers in running Homer off the stage with a fire-breathing devil head makes this one of the best episodes ever.
10. "Homer the Whopper"
(Season 21)
Since it's a recent episode, it's easy to overlook this one. But being a comic book fan, I love watching the failures of bringing Comic Book Guy's creation to the big screen. Plus, the character Comic Book Guy makes ("Everyman") is one of the best ideas for a comic I have ever seen. Leave it to a fictitious, overly cynical fan-boy parody to produce the best character idea the comic book world has seen in years.

BIRMINGHAM, England, November 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Q3 Internet Services has launched a new range of Cloud-powered, shared web hosting packages for businesses, starting from just £2.49 per month. The Q3 shared cloud hosting packages provide businesses with the highest levels of website security and come with a 99.9% uptime guarantee. As a Linux cloud server and GlobalSign SSL provider, Q3 is also able to offer businesses a range of value-added services from 24/7x365 support, fully managed hosting and SSL certificate provisioning.
Recent research by Q3 has found that many businesses are still surprisingly blasé about their choice of web hosting provider - until there is a problem. Indeed, a significant percentage of companies running transactional websites don't even know where their data is hosted. Given the sensitivity of much of that data, the choice of web hosting partner is not something that companies can afford to leave to chance.
Q3 already provides internet products and services to over 4000 customers in the UK, including the likes of Boots, The AA, Samsung, National Trust, TalkTalk and Interflora. Services range from web hosting to domain names and SSL certificates.
Raj Sukkersudha, Managing Director at GlobalSign SSL provider and Linux cloud server reseller, Q3 Internet Services, says, "Our shared web hosting plans are a cost-effective solution for getting your website online. Each hosting plan offers a range of features as standard including a Linux operating system, rapid activation, a 99.9% uptime promise and a 14-day money-back guarantee."
Sukkersudha continues, "At Q3 we pride ourselves in our customer service and our hosting engineers are highly skilled and trained. We are also firm believers in the Cloud, in fact our entire infrastructure is powered by it. We believe that shared cloud hosting can provide the perfect hosting solution for virtually any business. For companies that are running out of space, or simply want to move to a Cloud-based model, we can rescale their server, normally within two hours."
Commenting on the results of Q3's recent research study, Sukkersudha says, "A poorly thought-out web hosting decision can cause all sorts of problems down the line, as a business becomes more reliant on its online presence for new leads, or to provide support to its customers. If the website doesn't function well, is plagued with performance issues and/or is difficult to update readily, this will reflect badly on the business and have an impact on the customer experience, harming sales. A company's web presence today is no longer a nice-to-have, it is core to an organisation's brand and as a result companies cannot leave their web hosting choices to chance."
About Q3 Internet Services
Birmingham based Q3 Internet Services specialises in providing over 4000 customers with a wide range of internet-based products and services including web hosting and SSL certificates.
Q3 Internet delivers affordable web hosting services on either Linux or Windows servers based on a Cloud infrastructure.
Q3 Internet also provides SSL Certificates, EV SSL Certificates and Wildcard SSL Certificates from GlobalSign and AlphaSSL.

What Macbook Air are you running as your main machine/portable
Feb 10, 2013, 10:37 PM
Just wondering.
Feb 11, 2013, 09:40 AM
Main day to day machine is 15" MBP with 27" Apple monitor, blue tooth keyboard and magic mouse. Primary on the road working machine (photographer) is 13" 2012 MBA. Still use my 11" 2011 MBA as well.
A Hebrew
Feb 11, 2013, 10:26 AM
Took me a while to figure out the 1,1 2,1 3,1 thingy.
For people who are also having trouble, the bottom is the newest and the top is the oldest, going in order.
I will be running a 2012 MBA in a few days...trading my 13" Pro for it (Plus a small bit of cash)
Feb 11, 2013, 05:20 PM
Running 4,2... still love it as much now as the day I got it. :)
Feb 11, 2013, 06:25 PM
Bought an 11" MBA i7 a few months ago that spent too much time in my bag for being such a beautiful and wonderful device, until I bought a nice big monitor for it, along with keyboard, mouse and Henge Dock, and now it sits beside my iMac 24" (which is getting a bit long in the tooth<sigh>) and gets as much or more use than its older desktop brethren. I love my MBA - I can pluck it from its dock, throw it in my bag and I never even notice I'm carrying it around, it's the best laptop I've ever owned, and it's the best companion and complement to my lovely iPad mini.
Feb 13, 2013, 05:18 PM
I'm some what surprised no one here is running the original Macbook Air.
Feb 13, 2013, 05:25 PM
I was determined to hang onto my 3,1 for years, but my cat had other plans.
Feb 13, 2013, 05:54 PM
Main day to day machine is 15" MBP with 27" Apple monitor, blue tooth keyboard and magic mouse. Primary on the road working machine (photographer) is 13" 2012 MBA. Still use my 11" 2011 MBA as well.
How do you keep stuff in sync? Used to have a MacBook (2007) and a MacBook Pro (2009) and it was impossible to keep things in sync, so I decided to just use the MBP instead.
For me, 4,1. Planning to get MBA 8GB (Hopefully 16GB RAM will be available, maxed out i7 and 512GB for the 2013 model.
Feb 13, 2013, 06:50 PM
Have a 13" 5,2 from work. Going to leave that job in December, and will probably buy myself a 13" 2013 model when they're out.

13" Macbook Air 2012

Feb 14, 2013, 06:14 AM
11" entry level 2012 macbook air hooked up to classroom projector, mirroring ipad screen via airserver. It is also my default laptop at work (replacing my work-issued tablet laptop).
At home, 27" imac, unless my dad is using it, then I fall back to my macbook.
Feb 14, 2013, 07:31 AM
My primary machine is a 13" late 2011 MBA i5/4GB/256GB. Too lazy to do a search and figure out those numbers in the poll. I use the MBA with my old 23" Apple Cinema Display, extended keyboard and wired mouse about 90% of the time. It replaced my 2008 15" MBP and I have been really happy with it.
Feb 14, 2013, 08:12 AM
I have a Mid 2011 (4,1) (actually it was released in March 2012) base model 11 inch MacBook Air. It actually works very well for me as my main machine.
Feb 14, 2013, 09:08 AM
How do you keep stuff in sync?
13" Macbook Air 2012
256GB SSD and 8GB RAM
No idea what this is on the pick list, can't for the life of my figure out what the options mean!
Under Apple menu, "About this Mac", "More Information", "System Report".
For any Mac, the first pane of System Report includes a Model Identifier. Apple drives me nuts because they assign the model identifiers and then, throughout Support, refer to MacBook Air Mid 2011, which is MacBookAir4,x.
I believe you will find yours is MacBookAir5,2.
Feb 15, 2013, 02:16 PM
3,2 and its been a great secondary computer for school. I will be using it until it dies as I only use it for school and I am in my final semester. I have a customized desktop that I use for everything else, and an iPad for entertainment uses. I doubt my air will get much use after I graduate.
Feb 15, 2013, 02:41 PM
I'm running an "old" 2009 MBA 2,1.
This thing runs great...I know it is "old" but it doesn't feel old. The SSD makes this thing fly against anything with a HD.
I'm starting to want more than 2GB of RAM. I can handle the 128GB SSD with no issue (in fact, I have a Bootcamp partition of about 50GB!) since I am comfortable with using my network backups.
I'm going to be looking seriously at upgrading when the new Haswell processors come out. I can wait, this thing is the best laptop I have ever had (and I've had a 5300, a 1400cs, a 2400c, a Lombard, a Pismo, and a Hackintosh MSI Wind...I've also been using Dell crap and decent Lenovo's at work).
BTW, the recent priced drop on Air's was sweet!

All Blacks warned of Europe's citing boundaries
November 8, 2013
All Blacks Cited On Recent Tours Of Europe
Steve Hansen has reminded the All Blacks of the need to tread lightly in Europe to avoid the cards and citings that have marred their past three tours.
New Zealand kick-start their three-Test tour against France in Paris on Saturday, and they have been told by management to be sensible with their actions in a part of the world where their reputation as fair players has come under scrutiny.
"There's no doubt that history will show we have a lot more disciplinary hearings when we're up here, and we don't change how we play when we come up here," Hansen said. "Sometimes things happen, some people make mistakes and do things they wouldn't normally do. We've had the chat and we rely on athletes to take that chat on board."
Hansen suggests the citing boundaries are more sensitive in Europe than in SANZAR-run competitions, but he doesn't want to make excuses for his players.
"We just have to adapt to it, the same as we do with the clear difference in referee styles," he said. "We've got enough experience in the group for that to happen."
Follow live text commentary of the Test between France and New Zealand on Saturday, November 9 from 9am (NZDT), 7am (AEDT) and 8pm (GMT)

Aside from being utilized to help promote Brock Lesnar, who works a limited schedule, there does not appear to be much of a story line for Paul Heyman backstage. After being split apart from Curtis Axel and Ryback, management hasn't shown an interest in adding new guys for the former ECW owner to work with.
Paul Heyman is expected to make his return appearance on Monday Night Raw this week. Those rumors heated up further over the weekend when it was mentioned that Brock Lesnar was supposed to show up on WWE television this week as well.
While the company was discussing ideas on a potential new client for Paul Heyman, it now appears that WWE will hold off on bringing the ECW founder back into the mix at the Royal Rumble, where Brock Lesnar is rumored to be returning.
WWE is tossing around ideas on a potential new client for Paul Heyman, so that he does not have to be kept off of television until Brock Lesnar is ready to return.
Paul Heyman is expected to appear on the next Monday Night Raw, which is being taped in England.
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.
Former best friends turned heated rivals engaged in a battle for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble as Shawn Michaels challenged Triple H in a Last Man Standing match, but neither side could proclaim victory as the bout ended in a draw.
Bob Holly finally got his chance at the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble, but he was unable to defeat Brock Lesnar to become the champion. This match was the Smackdown main event for the evening.
Despite repeated attempts by his father to interfere, Chavo Guerrero was unable to beat his uncle Eddie Guerrero in a match at the Royal Rumble.
Jamie Noble, who was accompanied by Nidia, challenged for the WWE cruiser weight championship at the Royal Rumble, but he was unable to defeat the massively popular Rey Mysterio for the belt after a very brief match that lasted less than four minutes.
Ric Flair and Batista, representing Evolution, were successfully able to defend the WWE tag titles against the Dudley Boyz in a Tables match at the Royal Rumble. In a rather interesting bit, the match lasted less than five minutes.

Moving daze
... after a previous lap having lost a for peg. He was at first frustrated, then anything but sober, he had rung his crew at the pits and organised his team to come out with a van to pick up his bike, in the meantime he was in the pub being shouted pints from everyone in the bar of the railway hotel. He was well and truly hammered when he staggered back to the pits! I have really learned a lot about the TT the track and the place and it's wonderful people, It's always difficult ...

Dags made a call to his friend Pauline who is from the Isle of Man and who he had met 3 years ago to tell us they were both OK. It took from roughly 2.30 until 7.30 before they made there way back to the pits due to having to wait till the racing for the day was over and roads were ...
Exploring the Isle of Man
... There is still loads of ice along the roads and many of the small streams are frozen solid.
After a quick look at the map I decide to head towards Port Erin via the scenic route and the small single track roads. This was where the Tenere really came into itself. Long straight sections of extremely rough road where one could see for miles. I opened the bike up and let it rip along these sections. Potholes, rocks and loads of bumps etc were no problem to this bike. ...

Did my first track day of the year at Cadwell today. I think the marshalls only had red flags because they were the only ones they were waving. My mate came off b4 the Mountain,one of many 'offs', my hubby went grass tracking. Every morning session bar 1 was red flagged. First session after lunch was like riding over a river, 2nd session was like riding through a waterfall over a river. Last session restricted to 'wets' only. Still had a good day though, must be mad!

Next-gen is dull
Apologies for the Vergey click-bait title ;)
It is pretty dull though. Coming out of the tail-end of last gen where there was an abundance of cheap, stellar titles to play, it's hard not to be bored if a next gen console is your only hardware. Sure, there's plenty to keep me playing with PSN+ free titles etc. but there's nothing stand-out at all. AC4 was decent, Infamous is ok (and a technical masterpiece), NFS is entertaining. PSN+ titles are pretty much nothing more than time killers with Resogun being the only real hint of quality.
A lot of stuff feels rushed. Like they had enough time to get the core mechanics down but not enough to actually fill it with meaningful single player content. Infamous particularly, it's full of repetitive and deliberate wasting of the player's time to expand game time. NFS has pretty much zero meaningful single player content. The gameplay consists of nothing more than to-do lists. Great base mechanics, no content is the overwhelming theme of next-gen for me and I'm craving remakes of last-gen (TLOU/GTAV etc.)

Suggested Vacation Reading for President Obama: "Catch-22"
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
As the Obama family heads to their annual summer vacation on Martha's Vineyard, perhaps the president should take along a copy of "Catch-22" for some beach reading. Joseph Heller's classic, satirical antiwar novel, published in 1961 and based on his experiences as a bombardier in the second world war, is sadly relevant today, as Obama's wars, in Afghanistan and beyond, drag on.
Heller's title refers to a fictional military rule that said you could get out of military duty if you were crazy, but if you requested relief from military duty, you were clearly sane, so must serve. He wrote:
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr [a pilot in the novel] was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions.
Barack Obama ran as the antiwar alternative when he was a primary challenger to Hillary Clinton, whose nomination as Democratic presidential candidate in 2008 was widely held to be inevitable. It was his October 2, 2002, speech in Chicago where he declared his opposition to the imminent invasion of Iraq, calling it "a dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics." As a U.S. senator, he pledged to filibuster any bill that granted retroactive immunity to large telecommunication corporations that co-operated with the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping of U.S. citizens. And on his first day in office, you might recall, he vowed to close the military prison at Guantánamo Bay.
Has Obama ended the war in Iraq? Certainly not for the Iraqis. July was one of the bloodiest months there since the height of the insurgency against the U.S.-imposed Iraqi government. So far this year, more than 4,000 Iraqis have been killed, mostly by bomb blasts that targeted civilians, and close to 10,000 have been injured, in attacks by Sunnis against Shias or vice versa.
On July 22, a military assault was launched against the Abu Ghraib prison, made notorious 10 years ago by the shocking photos of abuse of prisoners at the hands of their US captors. Five hundred prisoners were freed in the course of the attack, including, reportedly, many senior al-Qaeda leaders.
Transparency International has ranked Iraq the seventh-most corrupt government on the planet, narrowly edging out Sudan, Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia. Thirteen U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan in July, including Specialist Caryn Nouv, a 29-year-old mother of two.
Obama's embrace of the surveillance state is now well-known, following revelations from National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. It was in December 2007 when Obama's Senate office issued a press release stating:
"Senator Obama unequivocally opposes giving retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies and has co-sponsored Senator Dodd's efforts to remove that provision from the FISA bill. Granting such immunity undermines the constitutional protections Americans trust the Congress to protect. Senator Obama supports a filibuster of this bill, and strongly urges others to do the same."
Months later, not only did he not filibuster the bill, he voted for it. Now, President Obama is refusing to meet with President Vladimir Putin in Russia next month, since Putin granted Snowden temporary asylum there.
Then there's Guantánamo. The hunger strike among up to 100 prisoners there, out of the total of 166, has just passed the six-month mark. The Pentagon is force-feeding many of them. Eighty-six have been cleared for release. A majority of the 166 have never been charged, with some held that way for more than 11 years. Despair is said to be rampant among them, so much so that they would rather starve themselves to death than endure more.
"I don't want these individuals to die," Obama said in April. So he has them violently force-fed to keep them alive, uncharged, with no end in sight. Even if the Obama administration releases two prisoners, a plan press secretary Jay Carney revealed last Friday, there will still be 164 prisoners languishing there.
Before heading on vacation, Commander-in-Chief Obama gave a rousing speech to Marines at Camp Pendleton, California. Elsewhere, Pfc Bradley Manning sat for another day of his sentencing hearing.
Heller's protagonist in Catch-22, Captain Yossarian, holds a wounded comrade – named Snowden, coincidentally – who dies in his arms. The experience cements Yossarian's opposition to war. Bradley Manning, too, went to war, and hated what he saw. He took action, leaking documents to spark a national debate.
Heller's depiction of war — grim and stark — was fiction, though based on his own experience. Obama's wars, his drone strikes, his war on whistleblowers, are all too real.

In her epic book, "The Guns of August," historian Barbara Tuchman detailed how World War I began in 1914, and how the belligerence, vanity and poor policies of powerful leaders led millions to gory deaths. We can look at that war in retrospect, as if through a distant mirror.

Dr. Atkins's diet is extremely low in carbohydrates, which helps to regulate insulin production and decrease circulating insulin; less insulin soon results in less fat storage and fewer food cravings. The diet is far from torturous, though--those who've tried it attest that hunger is not a part of this plan. Ninety percent of Dr. Atkins's patients--more than 25,000 of them--have experienced dramatic weight loss. The book includes recipes for such luscious, low-carb dishes as lobster soup, zabaglione, sea bass, and blueberry ice cream, and even includes a carbohydrate gram counter and menus. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Val di Chiana Villa Rentals(118)

Beautiful rustic haven in the Italian countryside.
Oh what a wonderful feeling to be in the middle of Umbria staying at a unique Italian farmhouse.... Podere Baiocco. Our family was met by Jacopo and Angela with the familiar Italian welcome. The views in all directions were spectacular. We had the welcome dinner prepared by Fabio and it was delicious. Jacopo was a welcome sight with his cheery Italian Buon Giorno, when he had breakfast ready for us daily. We had the cooking class done by Enis with the help of Angela and it couldn't have been more pleasant, followed by the pasta dinner that we had made and when we thought we were done Fabio brings out chicken and potatoes and then more......OH SO GOOD! We were in walking distance to Citta della Pieve , a quaint little town with many things to see and some really good restaurants....we went to Montalcino (wine tour), Siena, Pienza, Florence and then to Rome. Everything either a relatively short car ride or we used the train. The villa had a rustic flair and met all our needs. The humidity was high and without A/C the big screened windows were a lifesaver with the breeze flowing through. The gardens and pool were immaculate....nice to just sit, relax and read or just enjoy the view. Jacoopo couldn't have been more friendly and helpful with any of our needs or questions. He was readily available and diligent in keeping the property perfect. If we get to make a return trip to Italy we hope it will bring us back to Podere Baiocco.
A Magical stay...
From the moment we walked through the door our time at this amazing villa was magical. I went with a group of 14 family and friends ranging in ages from late 20s to late 50s. Our villa was even more beautiful than you can imagine. Although the pictures are beautiful, it is even more breathtaking in person. The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and spacious. Spending time relaxing at the pool and watching the sunsets was just wonderful. Jacopo was extremely kind and helpful with every question we had. He made us feel like family and set the tone for such a positive experience. All of his staff were extremely friendly, especially Fabio! My family truly enjoyed all of the delicious dinners, wine, and laughter that was possible because of these spectacular hosts. The town is very close, and we traveled to Rome and Florence by train very easily. Jacopo and Fabio helped organize wine tours, massages, and gave us excellent dining and shopping suggestions. We were so pleased with gorgeous villa and warm, friendly atmosphere that there were actually tears when we had to leave. I would suggest this to anyone traveling in a group to Italy. Thank you so very much Jacopo and Fabio for truly making our trip so magical... The great memories we have from staying at this villa will always bring a smile to our faces!
The Best of All Possible Worlds
We have travelled a lot in Italy over many years and consider this house a real find. It has a wonderful country feel with its rustic stonework and beams, yet at the same time because of the attention to detail in the interiors it feels like a first class hotel. The modern bathrooms are spacious and luxurious. The colors are bright and cheery. The shared spaces are large and welcoming, but there are also lots of more private spaces to read or just be by yourself. Because the house sits high on a hill the views are open and varied. At night we sat by the pool and counted shooting stars with the kids. It was such a pleasant place to be that some days it was hard to leave to go sightseeing and we always looked forward to returning to the house at the end of busy days. For old Italy hands the Flora Valley with the towns Sorano, Pitigliano, and Sovana was a great discovery. We knew this was an Etruscan center but were surprised to learn of the Jewish population that found sanctuary here from the sixteenth century when they were expelled from Rome and had a great influence on local culture and cuisine. The nearby town of Trevinano was tiny but one night when we went for pizza at Gianfranco we sat at a table near Prodi, the Italian prime minister. Our visit was full of such unexpected and memorable surprises. When we left the kids cried!! Need I say more??

Always Sunny's Rob McElhenney in a Classic Anti-Smoking Ad
I don't feel old very often at my age, but I do when I remember seeing this super retro anti-smoking ad like it was yesterday. It's about a cool kid who doesn't smoke because it's, you know, whatever.
Well, that cool kid would grow up to be Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, making this classic ad all the more classic. I would have preferred a Charlie Kelly video though, because we all now how amazing his commercials are.
