Here is a great place for all to post your club's net schedules, if any, and invite others to join. TALARC/K9TAL will also post upcoming NET operations events here as well.
Bill Sloan
TALARC Secretary
I am still visiting the various Post in my area. Right now none of them seem interested in adding amateur radio or Scouting. I will try to check in from my home station if propagation permits. Usually at that time of the night I am flooded with foreign broadcast on 40M.
Best regards,
Rich "Doc" AC8AL
US Navy Retired (PDRL)
Monitoring 7.230 with beam pointed East, listening now for W3CRR and could not hear net control at all from West Michigan. Heard various stations in the noise who also checked out from non-contact. Better luck next time!
Tried to check in, however there was a moderate to strong SW Broadcast station on/near 7230. Could not hear Net Control, though I could hear other stations trying to check in. Would like to know if I was heard or relayed into the net. Other stations seemed to be running power, while I was only running barefoot 80-100 watts.
Tried to check in but could not hear W3CRR in Va. Beach, VA. 125 pep to 40 Meter Vertical. I heard N3CMD relaying but could not break the pileup. I will keep trying and hope to make contact in a future net. George, WA4GDB, Post 110u4lcy
Only heard N3CMD from S. California. Tried to check in but nothing heard. Maybe another band at a different time should be considered.
As W8DMZ said, I could not hear the NCS. All I could hear was foreign/SW broadcast stations. That is what I usually hear on 40M at that time of the night around here. I have a long wire antenna going from the northwest to the southeast strung up about 40 feet in the air. I am running barefoot too.
Best regards,
Rich "Doc" AC8AL
Sherman Moore Post 297, Ravenna MI
For what it's worth, here are my recommendations for TALARC HF net: 0000Z to 0500Z on Sundays - 40 meters on any frequency 7.270 and above 1800Z to 2200Z on Saturdays - 20 meters on any frequency 14.280 and above.
Best of 73s Julian, N3CMD
(Submitted by email)
We've had a flood of great comments and suggestions regarding the net operations. Appreciate the encouragement as we find a band (or bands) and time (or times) to reach the greater part of the country. I can tell you that we will almost certainly utilize IRLP to expand our reach. CW is another goal for our station. K9TAL is still running barefoot at 100 watts on a donated Kenwood TS450S. We need, and are looking for, a used antenna tuner capable of handling our donated 600W linear amplifier.
Bill, KC9ANG
(K9TAL Club Secretary)
On Wednesday January 04, 2012 the American Legion Post 275 (Glenarden, Maryland) Amateur Radio Team, call sign N3TAL, hosted its' first "Vet Net" on the K3GMR (146.610 MHz) repeater courtesy of the Green Mountain Repeater Association.
The "Vet Net" will be held every Wednesday at 1930 hours local time. The purpose of the net is to provide veterans and others interested in veterans' activities an on air forum for dissemination of information on veterans activities.
The "Vet Net" is open to all active duty military personnel, veterans from all branches of the armed forces, members of the Sons of the American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Legion Riders, members of ALL veterans' organizations, and others interested in veterans' activities, that hold a valid Amateur Radio Operators License.
I hope to meet you on the air.
Ken Greenhouse
Ok Julian/N3CMD .. whatz our next step in makin' this happen? Most are ready to 'rock'n roll!' Antenna is headed in your direction! CQ CQ ....
Hate to say it .. but net on 10m was a flop. Conditions permitted me (here in Michigan) to easily hear KK6JB on west coast, but nothing heard from W3CRR direction. Overheard him talk to region 9, about confusion in getting net started. Lessons learned on how to conduct net gained from OMISS, Air Forces Flyers net and many others. Hopefully next months 'tribute' will be heard by (most) all. ADOPT & Overcome!
Hello from Northwest Iowa,
I have been too busy at work to keep up with what is going on with TALARC. Hope to be better informed by becoming part of this group. I am part of an active radio club in NW Iowa. We have several Legion members in our group. I would like to tell them more about TALARC at our next meeting.
The Old National Road Net
I would like to invite you to join us Saturday mornings on "The Old National Road Net" The pre-net starts at 8:00am and the net at 8:30 am CST on 3.965.0. Everyone is welcome!

Chrome OS struggles with the delineation between apps and Web sites, even though they are fast growing together. Great for students and casual home use, the day is coming when it'll be competitive, but it's not yet a replacement for a more mature OS.
Toshiba enters the growing Chromebook market with the first 13-inch model. It's a great size for switching between travel and home/office use and feels comfortable to type on, but other Chromebooks offer more features for the same price.

The updated Chromebook Pixel sets the bar for high-end for Chrome OS hardware, but its browser-based operating system imposes far too many limitations to justify its lofty price point.

LUMBERTON — The Lumberton City Council unanimously approved a conditional-use permit Wednesday that the Lumberton Christian Care Center needs to operate a homeless shelter on Second Street, but did so only after making some concessions to critics of the plan by reducing the number of people it could sleep at one time.
The hearing Thursday had originally been scheduled for Oct. 9, but was delayed because it was not properly advertised. About 60 people crowded the council's chambers, with proponents saying the shelter would not compromise safety or development in downtown Lumberton, as critics have suggested.
After 14 people spoke for and against, Councilman John Cantey's motion to grant a permit for a 24-bed shelter with counseling services and a 90-day limit for overnight occupants was approved. The Christian Care Center had originally asked for a permit that would allow as many as 44 beds.
Most people applauded the vote, putting a happy ending to a debate that had at times become contentious.
Before the vote, Jim Parker, a local physician and among the most vocal in opposition, repeated his concerns while clarifying his position.
"We have the need, but is this the best place for it?" said Parker, who stressed he is opposed to the shelter's new location, not the shelter itself. Parker said he worries that larger shelters can be "magnets for crime" and pointed out the planned Second Street location is near the Partnership for Children, the main branch of the county library and the Exploration Station, a children's museum.
Although the facility would move just 265 feet from its current location on First Street, that move places it inside Lumberton's historic commercial district and near the downtown plaza, often a centerpiece for activity.
Parker said in a statement sent to The Robesonian after the meeting he was disappointed that the location could not be changed but called the council's decision to lower the maximum number of beds "wise."
Rob Redfearn, a Lumberton businessman who says he has invested heavily in downtown Lumberton, also addressed the council, saying that the shelter's location would deter potential investors. Redfearn said he has five tourist-oriented projects in development downtown and will probably have to put a few on hold. He declined to elaborate on the nature of those projects, saying that doing so would violate a non-disclosure agreement.
"This really takes the wind out of my sails" he said following the council's decision.
Those who spoke in favor of the new location reassured the council that children at the Partnership for Children and Exploration Station would not be endangered. Anyone who stays overnight must pass a police check, said City Manager Wayne Horne. Approval is not required to eat at the center's soup kitchen.
According to Councilman Erich Hackney, Exploration Station and the library have not expressed disapproval of the project.
The new building, which will be paid for with grant money, is needed because the current facility is old and in disrepair.
"We plan to provide a facility that will be the pride of Robeson County," said Bob Caton, a member of the Christian Care Center's board. The current center can house about 10 people for no more than three days. The soup kitchen feeds as many as 100 people a day six times a week
Barbara Andrews, a member Christian Care Center board, provided a list of seven sites that were considered before the lot on Second Street was selected, and said there were reasons why each was eliminated. She said the Robeson County Church and Community Center, which is on West Fifth Street, was the board's first choice, but that the building was unlikely to pass environmental inspections.
Horne also pointed out that changing course now would be a problem as $50,000 had been spent on studies such as the possible environmental impact.
The Christian Care Center has secured a $550,000 Community Development Block Grant for the next 20 months. Horne said, if the location were changed, some parts of the process would have to be redone, likely placing the center's completion date beyond that deadline. If the Christian Care Center were to that funding, it could also jeopardize a $650,000 North Carolina Housing Finance grant that will also be used for the project.
Once the designs are complete, the project will go up for bid and then into construction, according to Renie Mills, president the Christian Care Center's board. The center is currently projected to be complete by July 12, 2015.

The mission of the Leadership Program (LP) at McCombs complements the core purpose and values of The University of Texas at Austin through directed experiences that facilitate leadership, awareness, and action on the individual, local, and global level.
Facilitate positive social change at an institution or in the community by undertaking actions that help the institution or community function more effectively and humanely.
Enhance student learning and development and foster self-knowledge and leadership competence:
To integrate varied experiences within the framework of the Social Change Model of Leadership Development, which develops authentic ethical leaders.
The only parts of the program we consider to be "extra" are the once-a-semester LP Events.
You must submit at least four unique LDA categories per year in the LP tracker, but you may enter up to ten.
Courses related to leadership, ethics, personal development, conflict-management, social change and communication. Students may email firstname.lastname@example.com to verify if a course can count toward this requirement. Students can also view a list of LP suggested courses.
Active membership for at least one semester in a registered UT organization.
Attendance to a full-day conference related to leadership, ethics, personal development, conflict management, social change and communication with at least six hours of participation.
Approved books may be checked out from the Undergraduate Programs Office, Leadership Library (CBA 2.302). Additional books related to leadership, ethics, social change and other relevant topics may be used. Email email@example.com for questions.
Volunteer shifts must be at least four consecutive hours (or four hours over a period of time) doing the same volunteer activity (e.g. tutoring at the library). Focus on meaningful service projects that avoid administrative dues, like assisting with registration or mail-outs.
Attend three lectures over the school year (fall and spring semesters). Lecture Series include VIP Distinguished Speakers, Leadership and Ethics Institute Certification, as well as other lectures promoted or approved by the Office of Student Life.
We recommend seeking pre-approval prior to submitting an 'Other' category for LDA credit. Example of 'Other' activities can include participation in an internship, work-study, or a full-time job.
Activities will count toward completion of the program once you have reflected upon them in the tracker. You should try to stretch yourself. If you've never read a book on leadership, try it. If you come across a community service opportunity, sign up. The Leadership Program is designed to be flexible, and it allows you to shape it to your own needs.
You are also expected to attend six of eight special programs coordinated by the Undergraduate Programs Office within a four-year time frame. Sophomore and transfer admits must attend five of six special programs within three years. All newly admitted students are required to attend the fall semester retreat their first year of LP participation. You will also complete the Contemporary Leadership Issues Course, the LP Capstone Course taught by a distinguished business faculty member.
Each year of the Leadership Program follows a theme so you can build your skill set.
During your first year in the Leadership Program, you begin to discover your strengths and define your values. Explore your leadership strengths at a retreat. Think how you can use resilience and stress to become more effective.
Your second year is spent reflecting on your roles within a group and learning how to more effectively collaborate with others in achieving common goals. Learn from our award-winning faculty through business simulations that will challenge and motivate you.
Year three encourages you to demonstrate your commitment to issues relevant to the multiple communities in which you belong. Connect with the Austin community and actively participate in becoming a better citizen. Complete a community service project with your peers.
Building off your leadership skills and experiences, your final year challenges you to become an ethical global citizen by affecting positive change. Potentially to include a global trip with a cost ranging from $1,000-$2,000. Learn how to become a more engaged global citizen.
The Social Change Model of Leadership Development is designed to enhance the development of leadership qualities in all participants. It promotes an inclusive process that actively engages all who wish to contribute -- those who hold formal leadership positions as well as those who do not. The social change model examines leadership development from three different perspectives: the individual, the group and the community or society.
The desired outcomes for individuals are based on the seven C's from the social change model: consciousness of self, congruence, commitment, collaboration, common purpose, controversy and citizenship.
Consciousness of Self: Consciousness of self requires an awareness of personal beliefs, values, attitudes, and emotions. Self-awareness, conscious, mindfulness, introspection, and continual personal reflection are foundation elements of the leadership process.
Congruence: Congruence requires that one has identified personal values, beliefs, attitudes, and emotions and acts consistently with those values, beliefs, attitudes, and emotions. A congruent individual is genuine and honest and "walks the talk."
Commitment: Commitment requires an intrinsic passion, energy, and purposeful investment toward action. Follow-through and willing involvement through commitment lead to positive social change.
Common Purpose: Common purpose necessitates and contributes to a high level of group trust involving all participants in shared responsibility towards collective aims, values, and vision.
Collaboration: Collaboration multiplies a group's effort through collective contributions, capitalizing on the diversity and strengths of the relationship and interconnections of individuals involved in the change process. Collaboration assumes that a group is working towards a Common Purpose, with mutually beneficial goals, and serves to generate creative solutions as a result of group diversity, requiring participants to engage across difference and share authority, responsibility, and accountability for its success.
Controversy with Civility: Within a diverse group, it is inevitable that differing viewpoints will exist. In order for a group to work toward positive social change, open, critical, and civil discourse can lead to new, creative solutions and is an integral component of the leadership process. Multiple perspectives need to be understood, integrated, and bring value to a group.
Change: As the hub and ultimate goal of the Social Change Model, Change gives meaning and purpose to the other C's. Change means improving the status quo, creating a better world, and demonstrating a comfort with transition and ambiguity in the process of change.
Citizenship: Citizenship occurs when one becomes responsibly connected to the community/society in which one resides by actively working toward change to benefit others through care, service, social responsibility, and community involvement.
Adapted from: Leadership for a Better World: Understanding the Social Change Model of Leadership Development. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
Students give feedback on LP and the ways it has developed and enhanced their leadership skills, world view and community service involvement while at McCombs.
"It is hard for me to fully describe my LP experience and all that the program taught me. Joining as a freshman, I was unsure of myself and my place on campus. Although I was a leader in high school, I felt that in this big place I was nobody. I didn't know how to be a leader and never imagined myself as one here. LP though, did the exact opposite. Through the various retreats, programs, classes, book reviews and self reflections required by the program I have come to understand a more complete definition of leadership; one that has since encompassed my life and all that I do. I accredit my college leadership skills to the LP program. I gained knowledge, networking skills, self-confidence, and courage. I learned how to lead and when to follow. From LeaderShape to the incredible trip to Belize, the Leadership Program taught me all that it promised when I first entered. These 4 years have provided real life examples of the social change model in the form of: commitment, citizenship, common purpose, congruence, consciousness of self, collaboration, and controversy. All in all, the Leadership Program has taught me to embrace change and go after it; this longhorn has started here, at UT and in the McCombs Leadership Program, and will go out to change the world." – Katie Koehler
"LP helped me understand my leadership style- my strengths and weaknesses. The program also reinforced my commitment to the community and through these experiences I grew personally and professionally. I met like-minded individuals within my cohort that I now call friends- more than organization, the LP program is like a family. There are expectations and guidelines one must follow of course but in the end, it's worth it. Now that I have completed the program I know I will miss it." – Raul Zavaleta
"The McCombs Leadership Program has left me a more acute, disciplined, and transformational leader. The LP is an experience that has taught me to recognize our interdependence. We are all called to work for a higher purpose, a common purpose, an individual responsibility that requires unyielding effort and humble commitment. LP has trained me to see the gaps – the spaces between eager workforces and passionate desires that need connection in order to serve the greater good of society." – Jefferson Fisher
"The Leadership Program for me this previous year was a great experience overall. I really enjoyed the setup of the program in terms of the flexibility in meeting the requirements on one's own time, and being able to focus on different types of LDAs that we felt strongly about or were relevant to us. I think the LP Events were well organized and efficient in their goal of making us better leaders in specific areas and enabling us to grow." – Sam Copeland
"I have received many benefits from participating in the Leadership Program at McCombs. Not only have I met some of the most talented, intelligent and friendly people at UT, but I have learned so much about myself and my leadership style. Through the program, I have learned to understand my talents, values, and interests, allowing me to be a more effective leader. Each year of the program provided me with new insights on leadership and gave me the confidence to explore my ability to be a more productive and competent leader. The opportunities made available to me through LP were endless and were some of the most rewarding experiences of my college career." – Chaille Muzny
"LP has shown me that a leader, above all else, is a servant – and our world is in need of great servants. A leader serves the needs, shares the struggles, and feels the pains of his or her followers. A leader knows no self interest." – Jefferson Fisher
"LP not only gave me the opportunity to learn what leadership is, but it also helped me developed my leadership skills. For example, on the first year of the program we learned about ourselves. We took this "test" called a Strengthsquest Self-Assessment; the assessment showed me my strengths and weakness. This test was beneficial because it helped see in what areas I needed to improve to become a better leader and in what areas I was already doing good. I believe that opportunities like this are what make a leader better, because a leader is not born but made….I want to thank the LP staff and LP itself for this wonderful opportunity and support." – Aidali Miranda

Are you researching your family history? Historical maps can be an exceptional tool when you are beginning a genealogy research project. Because maps can give you important details about business and property ownership, they can be a significant source of information. This information can tell you what and whom you need to research to learn more. The goal of this site is to help you discover important information to get started.
Each State page contains rotating animated maps showing all of the county boundary changes & all of the county boundaries for each census year for each year. Past and present maps of US are overlaid so that you can see the changes in county boundaries, downloadable County D.O.T. Maps, and state atlas maps.
How Maps Help Genealogy Research
Genealogists should not ignore map resources and all that they have to offer, as a map can immediately provide valuable information and facts. For example, many historical maps show distinct buildings. These are especially helpful because they also record owners' names and with features within the local communities. More detailed maps reveal property or home acreage along with property names. By simply examining a variety of maps, it will be possible to date improvements in your property over time. Maps can also offer some very interesting information about public documents and other records pertaining to certain ancestors.
Focusing on Map Analysis and Research
Some people become so fascinated by maps that they choose to focus on map research only. After all, maps come in many different types and can offer a wealth of information about the time period. When it comes to researching your family tree, maps are just pieces of the puzzle. However, they are a significant piece, and focused study can reveal fascinating information. Of course, it's important for new genealogists and researchers to start out with basic research skills before they take on map analysis. There are plenty of guides readily available to help first-time genealogical researchers.
Map Comparison as A Genealogy Source
Comparing older maps to newer maps of the same area can often yield information about changes in names of different towns and places over time. Such comparisons can also show changes in borders between countries, counties, towns, and other political borders. However, landowners are not often listed on maps.
In the United States, property records, death records, and birth records are usually maintained by county officials. Therefore, researchers will need to be able to locate the proper county offices to find information on their ancestors. This is why it helps to determine exactly where the ancestor lived according to the political borders of the time.

Actually, once the painting is done, it can be saved on the device and shared by using any of the sharing resources installed in your device.
There are ads at the bottom, a bit intrusive since reduces drawing area. Ads can be removed though upgrading to the Pro version. In brief, an easy-to-use drawing app that should be enhanced in some regards. Anyway, recommendable for kids and simple creations.

What for? You need a lodge and board members to climb a hill? People have been doing that for thousands of years. Yes, this is a cult if they have a lodge and board members. That's retarded. Sorry. If I want to go for a walk then I'll go for a walk. If I feel like hiking then I'll hike. I don't need a lodge and board members and teammates. That's pathetic, in my opinion.
Check out the website before you continue your baseless insults. I don't belong, but know a member.
Isn't the phrase backpeddling? Backsliding is a Christian term, isn't it, which means that one fell from their faith?

The subject was yours. You see "a new approach to life" from accepting that "all groups are cults." The second statement is simply wrong, and so a "new approach" based on it is pointless. Nothing ad hominem about it. It's simple.

Ware, MA (July 19, 2013) – Long summer days, the extreme heat and exposure to the more intense summer sun's UV rays can greatly increase your risk of getting a sunburn. Unfortunately, there's no fast-fix sunburn treatment. One thing is certain, it's always better to prevent than treat a sunburn! Whether you are at the beach, biking, or doing yard work, whenever you spend any time outdoors you need to take steps to protect your skin from a sunburn.
A sunburn is red, painful skin that feels hot to the touch, and is actually a radiation burn of your skin. The ultraviolet light from the sun damages the DNA of your skin cells, triggering these cells to die. Sunburn can range from a minor irritant to several days of misery, depending on your skin type and length of exposure to the sun. Once you have sunburn, it may take 12 to 24 hours after sun exposure to know the full extent and severity of sunburn, and it can take several days for your skin to begin to heal.
There are a number of things that people can do to protect themselves and their families from the sun and extreme heat including:
Apply sun block with an SPF of 15 or higher at least 15 to 30 minutes before venturing out into the sun and re-apply at least every two hours especially if you have been swimming or perspiring. Be sure to pay special attention to the tip of your nose, your ears, the tops of your feet, and your shoulders.
Limit outdoor activities between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun is the strongest. Beware of cloudy days. Clouds and particulate matter in the air scatter sunlight. You can still burn even on a cloudy day.
Sand and water reflect UV radiation, which means being in the shade under a beach umbrella does not provide complete protection.
Protect your eyes, remember the sun glasses. In addition to skin cell damage, UV radiation has also been blamed for certain eye conditions, such as cataracts. Most sunglasses will note on the tag if they provide UV protection.
Protect your children. Keep them from excessive sun exposure when the sun is strongest and apply sunscreen liberally and frequently to children 6 months of age and older.
Do not use sunscreen on children under 6 months of age. Parents with children under 6 months of age should severely limit their children's sun exposure.
If you take prescription drugs, check with your doctor before going out into the sun. Some medicines can increase your risk of sunburn or interact with the sun to cause rashes or other side effects.
Remember, once skin is sunburned it is more sensitive to further exposure.
Say no tanning beds. According to the American Cancer Society a recent study estimated that regular use of tanning beds increased the risk of melanoma by 75 percent. Tanning beds deliver radiation—varying degrees of UVA and UVB rays, depending on the machine. Both forms of radiation cause skin cancer and premature aging. Avoid them!
If you get sunburn:
Keep it cool. Apply cold compresses, such as a towel dampened with cool water to the affected skin, or take a cool bath. Avoid hot showers.
Keep it moist. Apply moisturizing cream or aloe to the affected skin. Avoid products containing alcohol, which can further dry out skin. Beware of sunburn treatment products containing anesthetics, such as benzocaine, they are notorious for causing allergic contact dermatitis.
Increase fluid Intake. Sunburns actually dehydrate your body, so replenish your lost fluids by drinking plenty of water. Upping your fluid intake may also indirectly soothe sunburn pain.
Leave blisters intact. If blisters form, don't break them. You'll only slow the healing process and increase the risk of infection. If needed, lightly cover blisters with gauze.
Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. If needed, take anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others). Remember never give children or teenagers aspirin. It may cause Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease.
Consult a doctor or seek emergency care for sunburn treatment if:
• Is blistering and covers a large portion of your body
• Is accompanied by a high fever, extreme pain, headache, confusion, nausea or chills
• Doesn't respond to at-home care within a few days
• If you notice any sign of infection

Well Football fans, November is here and that means there's a change in the air, the weather starts to turn cold and you can really feel like it's football season. Mercifully the New York Yankees put an end to the MLB season and the NBA is so far off my radar I don't even care it's mucking up my Sportcenter and sports talk radio experience. Football is king, and College Football is like Julius Caesar. This weekend promises some intense matchups and for my money a couple of big upsets that promise to shake up the top of the BCS.This weeks game of the week is pretty obvious. LSU travels to Alabama to try and knock the Tide out fo the ranks of the undefeated and honestly out of any real contention for the National Championsip. Losing late is murder to a college team, and this would be homicide for the Crimson Tide. For Alabama their formula for success has been hand the ball to Mark Ingram, play smothering defense, and the rest of you, don't screw anything up. For LSU, the formula has been do just enough on both sides of the ball to win, and make average teams look better than they should, even though you still beat them. Unfortunately, neither of these approaches will get them past the other team this weekend. Alabama is going to have to find some sort of passing offense. Julio Jones has been all but invisible this year, and a lot of that has to do with quarterback Greg McElroy. LSU on the other hand just has to tap into all those skill players. When your team has players like Charles Scott, Russell Shepard, Keiland Williams, Terrance Toliver, Brandon LaFell, and Richard Dickson you should be able to move the ball and score on any defense in the nation. So, why can't they? Their problems also stem from the play of their QB Jordan Jefferson. On defense, Alabama has the clear advantage in terms of talent, but LSU is an underrated unit. So, what will this game come down to? I think it'll be the team that gets the best play from their quarterback wins. LSU have owned Alabama historically when they play them in Alabama, and I have to think Jefferson will step up and LSU will upset the Crimson Tide in their own dojo.Not to be outdone by the SEC, the Big Ten decided to throw a big matchup in as well when the Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Happy Valley to take on the Nittany Lions. I have poured over this game, trying to find an angle where I could go for back to back upset picks, but it's just not there for me. In terms of talent, Penn State is a much better team. Their rankings in the polls while close really aren't a good indicator of how far apart these two teams are.I do think this game will be epic, and I do think it will get a ton of attention, but the reality is, Penn State doesn't lose very often at home, and with this group, from quarterback Daryll Clark and running back Evan Royster to defensive lineman Jared Odrick and linebacker Navorro Bowman this team is just too talented for the Buckeyes. Terrell Pryor is going to have to have the game of his life, and his next two reincarnations to win this one, and I just don't think he has it in him.
Game 3 of my big 3, is my trap game of the week. Oregon, riding high as a kite after their gangland beatdown of the USC Trojans head to Stanford to take on the suddenly competitive Stanford team. This game is just screaming upset, so I will listen. I think Stanford is playing way out over it's skiis and really don't have the talent to match up with the Ducks but sometimes you just have to go with your gut.What does Stanford have to do to win? Stop the run, first and foremost. LaMichael James and Jeremiah Masoli have run over everyone the past few weeks, so if I am Coach Harbaugh, I stack the box and pound the run. On offense, I pound them with Toby Gerhart, Andrew Luck, and Stepfan Taylor. Long drives, eat clock, and end with touchdowns. Then take your shots deep on a tired Oregon D. Oregon is ripe for a letdown and a road game like this is going to be it.A few quick hits for the weekend

Maybe getting a MacBook Air
I don't really need one right now so it makes sense to wait for the next models... but I really want one RIGHT NOW. Maybe with the right rationalizations and evasions... It's worth a shot.
To begin with, what's the latest on when the new models will arrive? I hear June a lot. Sometimes later, rarely earlier (I guess the Haswell delay rules earlier out.)
I will use it mostly for journal writing, so I suppose getting a pro retina doesn't make much sense? Money is an issue, but I could go pro retina if I'm prepared to sacrifice my teeth. Let me know what you think.
Then there's the whole RAM thing. I don't really need 8GB right now, but as a future proof it might be a good idea? Not so much in case I expand my activities on the machine, but more to be able to run future OS updates. (I'm planning on using it for a long time.)
13" or 11". Is there any other reason than price and portability to go 11"? Is it possible to just like it more? I'm using an Asus netbook currently and I don't mind a smallish screen (and it's even smaller than 11"), but I'm thinking it might be neat with a bigger screen for once, but maybe I'll just hate it? I do like that the difference is in height, goes well with writing (I hate writing with too much width for the text, but height is welcome... I think)
Right now I'm leaning toward a 13" 8GB MacAir.

Here's the thing on a June release.
Apple RARELY releases a new Mac within a week or two after a new Intel chip release. The average is really more in the 3-4 week range. That means that if Haswell is released on-time on June 1st (Which isn't really in line with Intels track record, they often over-estimate their ability to get chips shipped!), you're looking at the end of June, early July. It's also not uncommon for it to take two or even three months for Apple to update to a new chip.
It's not IMPOSSIBLE to think a June or even early-June release of a Haswell MBA. But, It's DEFINITELY not definite. Some people are preaching a June Haswell-MBA/MBP like it's Gospel but it just doesn't work like that, it doesn't fit in line with 7 years of Intel Mac history.
If you want it, get it, if you don't, wait. If you wait until this summer, then you're only 6-12 months away from Broadwell. People are ALREADY talking about waiting for Broadwell. You could go crazy. I don't think I'd buy a current Mac the second week of June is Haswell wasn't out yet... but your mac will still work just fine, still smoke all the other 'ultrabooks', 6 months or so from now when we start seeing the Haswell macs.
I bought my MBP in December and I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if Apple released Haswell Mac's tomorrow. Mine is still a fantastic machine, and it will be even when the next fantastic machine comes out, and the one after that!

Don't short yourself on the screen if you're doing any type of writing for extended periods. The 13" is still ridiculously light and portable, you'll love it. The 11" would be shorting yourself, IMO.
You just missed an awesome $200 off Best Buy sale on the 13", but the 8GB model was not part of that. Check local Best Buy stores for open box models, they usually have amazing discounts and are in near-perfect condition for $200 off or more.
8GB is a good idea if you want to have it for 5 years and want to guarantee future OS compatibility and smoothness. I got 4GB, but I really don't do anything that matters. Even if OS 11.2 comes out, I'm sure it will still run on my 4GB Air and browse the internet just fine. 8GB is a nice, but expensive safety net. The peace of mind is worth it more than anything at this point though if you're just doing basic tasks.

Oh wow, it sounds like you're in the exact same boat as me! I, too, really want to purchase one now except I've decided to wait until the refresh. I hope that it gets released soon! I'm also thinking that it will be released sometime in June. I won't be purchasing the retina screen as I have no need for the additional component. I, too, have the RAM dilemma but I think that I'll go with the 8GB as well, just to be on the safe side and it'll help with multi-tasking and software updates in the future. For me, I'll be choosing the 13" as the 11" is a bit too small for me and it will be replacing my current 15" laptop and becoming my new main laptop. I, too, am leaning towards the 13" 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD MacBook Air 2013! (: I'm keen!!

FWIW, I love my 11" 2012 MBA. I use it for writing (Word) and don't have a problem with the screen size at all. Granted I haven't used the 13" (other than in an Apple Store), but I like my choice.
I think for what Apple is charging, and the fact that you can't upgrade later, 8GB is a no brainer. While writing I often have several tabs open in Safari, iTunes running, several images and pdfs open in Preview, Mail open, Messages open, etc. and I never have any Page Outs. Now I've heard people say they have no problems with 4GB because the SSD's speed makes Page Outs insignificant. May be something to think about.
The only con (if you want to call it that) in my opinion is the battery life. 13" > 11". Just last night though, I was out writing and turned Wi-Fi off and would have gotten (if I had stayed that long) around 6 hours. Not bad, but you will get more from the 13".
|Feb 8, 2013, 09:54 AM
Five minutes with Google yielded this source.
Apple quite often receives new chips early or with preferential supply. If Haswell comes out around June, you can bet there will be new Macs.
If you take a look at the Buyers' Guide, the MBA is approaching its end of cycle. At this stage, if it's not of dire importance, you might as well wait.
Personally, I'm waiting for new Pro Retinas or an MBA with IPS screen. Haswell promises a lot for the ultrabook market.

I took the plunge and bought my first Mac a week ago. It came in the mail Wed and I love it, though I still have a lot to learn! I went refurbished and got a heavy discount ($250) for the MBA 13" w/i7, 8GB RAM, & 256GB SSD. If you want a solid computer right now and don't want to pay top dollar, go for a refurbished! You can get a model more than the base model for much less money than you will for a brand new 2013 model. I don't see the sense in holding out for a 2013 and paying full price when in a year it'll already be "last year's model" anyways! Go for it!!

However, that's not a chip (CPU), that's a chipset. And it was one iMac update. Occasionally, Apple DOES release spot-on or even early. The original MacBook Air had a penryn (I believe) chip that was custom made and was so far unreleased on any other platform. It does happen, just not always. My information came from googling around out of curiosity, the release date of the specific chip that was used (like the 2.5GHz Dual Core i5, though I forget the model name off of the top of my head, currently used in the 2012 MBP), and the refresh of the MBP models. That's what I found. Take it or leave it, I'm just saying even though there are a few examples of close, there are as many or more examples of it taking several weeks. All I was saying in my post, is that preaching a first-week-of-June MacBook line refresh as absolute truth isn't exactly a great idea. There is plenty of reason to believe it could take a few weeks. There's also evidence that it might be right away too, sure, who knows. But I just don't think I'd be promising anyone the first of June like some people have been saying.
What I found, was that more often than not, it took greater than two weeks, sometimes as much as three months, for notebook models to have the latest intel chips. Apple does often (probably always) get an early supply of chips, but that doesn't always equate to on-the-shelf shipping release date anything better than a few weeks after the Intel release.
Yes, there will be new Macs, like you said. But, unlike what some folks are saying, I don't think we should be lining up on June 1st. Exception cases aside, Apples history shows a few weeks in between chip release and notebook release.
As far as the capitalization's, well, don't know what I can do for ya there. It's intended to emphasize certain words. Like "definite" in reference above. In hopes that folks like you would be able to distinguish the meaning of my posts, that we are not sure that Haswell equipped Macs will be out the first week, and people shouldn't jump the gun and be led to believe that, as it is very possible it could be weeks afterwards that a refresh comes (or more). It is an internet forum after all, not an academic paper. I don't tend to use the APA or MLA format either. I'm not a fan of tons of shorthand or "tlking liek dis u kno wut i meen?", but it's still a message board. Sometimes you've gotta let stuff go.

2) If you're going to be reading a lot, then the quality of the screen is absolutely important if you like treating your eyes nicely. This isn't to say that the Air screen is horrendous, but reading for a long period of time on a retina screen is much easier than the Air's. That being said, if it's outside of your financial comfort zone, then it's a moot point.
3) Do not concern yourself with "future proofing". You can not use a computer for 5+ years without serious diminishing returns unless you're an extremely basic user (even then, components tend to break down around the 4-5 year mark anyway). If you aren't going to use virtualization software or other heavy resource using applications, 4 GBs of ram is probably fine for the next 2-3 years. If it really bothers you, then the extra $100 for the 8 GBs of ram is not a big deal considering the initial cost of the machine you're buying.
4) If you're going to be reading on the screen a lot, but are not planning on using an external monitor, then I would opt for the 13" personally regardless of how often you travel and use it on the go, it will be easier on your eyes.
If you're unsure whether you'll "like" it or not, Apple has a 2 week return policy, and if you buy it elsewhere, I'm sure you could find better return policies. You should know exactly how you feel about it after a week or so.

It doesn't sound like you are doing anything too extensive and probably don't need a Haswell based MBA. The only thing that would effect you would be the improved battery life. Personally I always recommend upgrading RAM if possible but that is just me. As for the size, I went back and forth between the 13in and 11in for months. In the end I decided to go for the 13in but often regret that I didn't get the 11in. If you have an external monitor you can use the Air with I would personally recommend the 11in. But then again these are my opinions. Good luck on choosing a model
|Feb 8, 2013, 10:38 PM
I think you have to decide what's more important -
A. Getting a nice deal on current macbook airs and saving $.
B. Getting a slight increase in speed, and maybe another hour of battery life (just speculating).
Personally, I'm bringing a charger with me anywhere I take my laptop. 5-6 hours without being plugged in is nice, and getting another hour or two out of it simply means I get to go slightly longer before plugging it in.
I'm much more happier saving almost $300, and having my 11" now. It's a spectacular computer..!
|Feb 9, 2013, 10:18 AM
I don't really need the extra power of the next model, not until the OS needs it. Or until I discover awesome and demanding apps, I suppose. (The plan is to do almost nothing but writing on the Mac. I will most of the time have an iPad nearby, and that's my app-hoarding device.)
|Feb 9, 2013, 10:25 AM
I think you're on the right track. I think the Air will be with you for years to come and work well for you. I also think the new Air will be with you for years to come and work well for you!

I've never had a laptop aside from netbooks, how is it to have a 13" laptop on top of your lap while sitting in an armchair resting your legs on a leg rest? Not too unwieldy? Does it get warm? Fall to the ground easily?

VANCOUVER Investigators arrested one suspect and are looking for another in a robbery and kidnapping Wednesday in Vancouver where a victim was shot multiple times, police said.
Vancouver shooting victim staggered 1 mile for help
On Friday night, 22-year-old Joanna Speaks of Vancouver was arrested with the help of the SWAT Team and booked in the Clark County Jail on charges of attempted murder, kidnapping and robbery, said Sgt. Creager with the Vancouver Police Department.
Police are looking for 19-year-old Pedro Godinez Jr. (pictured) who is the second suspect in the case.
Godinez Jr. is a Hispanic man with closely shaved black hair and brown eyes. He is 5-foot-10 and 220 pounds. His tattoos include Mariana on the right side of his head, Monica on the right side of his neck, Baby on his right forearm, and Silent on his left forearm.
Godinez Jr. is considered armed and dangerous, Creager said.
On Wednesday night, the victim of the attack managed to walk about a mile through the forest for help, covered in blood, until he found some people who were able to come to his assistance near Kadow's Marina in Vancouver. Surveillance video from the marina shows the man staggering across the street and then pleading for help.
Raw video: Shooting victim searches for help
Investigators said the victim told them he went to east Vancouver, where he was kidnapped. Then, the suspect took him to Vancouver Lake Park where he robbed and shot him before stealing his car.
The suspects fled in the victim's 2012 black Nissan Sentra. It has a temporary plate in the window and license plate frames from Beaverton Nissan.
The victim has not been identified but authorities said he is recovering in the hospital.
Anyone with information was asked to call Sgt. S. Creager at 360-487-7424

Results vs. Limestone (2007-10-30 19:00:00)
October 30, 2007
|Falcons Rally on Senior Night
|Tuesday, 30 October 2007
|Misenheimer, NC---On senior night, the Pfeiffer (19-11, 12-7) volleyball team rallied from a 2-0 defecit to defeat conference leading Limestone(17-15, 15-4) by a score of 3-2 (19-30,23-30,30-28,30-25,15-13). Before the match four seniors, Nicole Cummings (Sanford, NC), Charlotte McKenzie (Asheboro, NC), Samantha Oldham (West End, NC) and Jenna Parnell (Mt. Pleasant, NC), were honored for their contribution to the Pfeiffer volleyball program.
Limestone grabbed an early 9-3 lead in game one. A Petra Ljubicic kill sparked a brief Falcon comeback before the Saints' lead grew to 26-12. A 3-0 run got the Falcons within 11 but that was s close as they could get and lost 30-19.
The Saints took a 5-0 lead in game two. The Falcons fought back and after a Brittany Dickens service ace found themselves within one at 14-13. Pfeiffer hung tough but in the end fell in game two by a score of 30-23.
Pfeiffer won a tight game three 30-28. The game went back and forth early on until a 3-0 run gave Pfeiffer a 15-12 advantage. The Saints came back and took a 20-17 lead. However, a Lauren Spiotta kill sparked a 6-1 Falcons run that gave Pfeiffer a lead at 23-21. Down 25-27 the Falcons went on a 5-1 to end the game.
Game four started out tight and Limestone finally got a 15-13 lead. Two blocks by Brittany Dickens led a 4-0 run to give Pfeiffer the lead. Pfeiffer kept up their excellent play and pulled out game four on a Dicken's kill by a scoe of 30-25.
Pfeiffer raced to an 8-3 lead in game five but the Saints came back with a 6-0 run to take the lead. The teams fought back and forth until Limestone led 13-12. The Falcons wouldn't be denied though and when Dickens hit a beautiful spike to the corner Pfeiffer had won 15-13.
Pfeiffer travels to Belmont-Abbey for a 6:30 pm game on Friday. This is the last regular season game for the Falcons.

I hope ya'll at least got free lunch out of this 'availability' session.
Eric Gordon seemed to contradict himself in regard to his now indefinite knee injury, stating initially that there is nothing*structurally*wrong, *but later saying that there likely is. Perhaps the biggest one line bombshell is that he doesn't know "at all" if or when he'll be back this season.*He went out of his way to repeatedly state how frustrating this is for him, and how dedicated he is to this team and this city.
Gordon opened his availability with a brief statement–
"It's an honor and privilege just to be part of this organization as a player, I know things haven't been going as well as far as my status of*being*injured as far as I've been here. I have had recurring injuries, a knee injury, since I've been here and it's just tough as a player to go through these things…"
"As a player I look forward to helping this franchise and I always look out for the best to help this team win. It has been frustrating, very frustrating, as a player not to do your job every day. I only played 9 games last year and I haven't played a game this year. I haven't played a preseason game. It's just frustrating to watch the guys play and me not being a part of it. So that's what I wanted to start out with. I know from a fans perspective this is frustrating for them, but as a player it's most frustrating for me and this organization. So I just wanted to put it out there cuz I know it's tough, but it's almost all on me and this is an injury that I'm battling with. It's just a tough time right now for me. and I'm just going through it. This is a great city and a great organization and I definitely want to be a part of it, but being a part of it for me is made playing and *what's preventing me form playing is having this injury."
He said later that he didn't have any structural damage, but that he might have some structural damage, a rather clear contradiction to those of us in the room. He's had MRI's recently that revealed that he's ok, but he also said that he's in a lot of pain. He also said that despite the fact that he's not waiting for the results of any new MRI's nor dose he plan to have any, he's hoping to know a lot about the injury after this weekend.
As for whether or not he suffered a setback between Olympic trials and training camp, he said "sorta".
He added that he doesn't know "at all" if or when he'll be back this season.
Just what Hornets fans wanted to hear…
On a personal note, it's clear this is tough for him, so perhaps we should try to be a bit more understanding about an injury that none of us have the training and access to properly diagnose.
I hope ya'll at least got free lunch out of this 'availability' session.

Very good stuff Joe. I know it's hard for most to do. But I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully they can figure out what's going on.
Joe, do you expect him to be out for the remainder of the year? That was his most puzzling comment. How can there be no structural damage, yet he is not sure if he will return this year?
Waste of money. He's run out of 'benefits of the doubt' from me.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
What's the more rational explanation? Do we really believe that he's some kind of mystery of medical science? But I'm not putting it all on him because, ultimately, he didn't write himself a contract. Matching was a huge mistake. A sign and trade for anyone would have been the better option. This man is far too brittle to justify the money they handed him.
I could find you more examples but somebody else brought this on up. SO there.Hill opened up about that period to Fox's Jason Whitlock, and said the medical attention he received while with the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic played a big factor.
Hill says that during his final season in Detroit, in 1999-2000, he was diagnosed late in the season with a bone bruise, but that it turned out to be a broken ankle bone. Adds Hill:
"I even found out that certain team doctors were questioning whether I was really hurt, thinking I was soft or whatever . . . At that time, when I found out I had broken my ankle, as crazy as this sounds, I was relieved. I finally had some confirmation, I finally had proof that I'm really not making it up."
Hill had surgery and signed a $92 million free agent contract with Orlando and was in the lineup and opening night, coming back way too soon.
"The next day the doctor who performed (my) surgery picks the paper up and saw that I played like 30 minutes and he was irate. I wasn't supposed to be on the court doing basketball-related activity until December. So somewhere along the line, the ball was dropped. And certainly I didn't know that until the doctor informed me of that. Apparently he had forwarded all the information down there to Orlando. I was told to follow the instructions."
If he suspects it to be more damaged than it he was told, nothing is stopping him from seeing James Andrews. It's not complicated. Misdiagnosis hinge on the correct diagnosis eventually being given. Until such event happens, I won't assume that.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Well people are saying he's not really hurt and is just sitting out because he doesn't want to be here so I'm sure there's got to be some GM/team out there that will make Demps an offer right? Teams take disgruntled players quite often don't they?
They should probably just play hard ball with him until he gets over it.
The problem is I doubt any outside GM will know the absolute truth and the current market perception is this guy can't stay on the court. Eight or nine games last season and possibly zero this year? Attitude aside what would you offer for a guy like that... who also comes at a $15 million a year price? I will be relieved if the Hornets can just dump him off for some expirings/not just trade him for more bad contracts that will prevent the team from signing a free agent or two down the road.
I'm going to cut him some slack as well. Some more slack, I should say. I've had knee tendonitis so painful I've had to hop to the bathroom in the morning. You can cut down the swelling and tenderness with medication, but the problem is it comes right back if you don't lay off it. I've gone through a cycle of many months like that. Gordon may now have a chronic knee condition. Not his fault and not great news, but sometimes it can be treated and managed and even clear up. Though, as they are saying, there is no time table for that to happen.
My feelings are less about Eric Gordon the person rather Eric Gordon as the asset/player to this organization. As the latter, he's borderline worthless at this point. Not worth the headache anymore. Time to ship him off and move on with our young nucleus. This team has plenty of young talent such that it doesn't need to saddle itself with a max contract guy who never steps on the court. It needs to be dealt with December 15th so it doesn't hinder cap flexibility going forward.
They must be crazy because he's DR. JAMES ANDREWS!
clear as mud.
glad he provided that insight.
