Balance of Payments - Goods and Services, Preliminary Quarterly Estimates, March 2015
Provides preliminary quarterly estimates of goods and services data including preliminary quarterly estimates of Chain Volume Measures for goods debits. Preliminary seasonally adjusted quarterly balance on goods and services are compared to the sum of seasonally adjusted balances for the three months of the quarter.
Additional Information
Producer Price Indexes, Australia, March 2015
PPI for output of the Retail Trade industry (RTPI) cannot be compiled with the same timeliness as other PPI. The basic data required for the construction of the PPI for the output of the retail trade industry are quarterly sales and cost of goods sold (COGS). These economic flow data cannot be collected until some time after the end of the reference quarter. By comparison, price indexes for goods and some services are based on point in time prices prevailing at selected dates during the quarter. Further, calculation of the RTPI requires the latest period CPI data to be available for price updating purposes. Because of these constraints, the ABS will publish RTPI as stand–alone indexes. This will occur until the necessary systems and processes are in place to enable RTPI to be incorporated into the SOP framework. The implementation of RTPI in the SOP indexes will be communicated ahead of time in Producer Price Indexes, Australia (cat.no. 6427.0).

not so great interviews of some great personalitiesThis was delivered on the next day of booking, hats off to Flipkart. I bought this on the recommendation of one of my friends. The illustrious list of interviewees does present a great prospect to buy this. However, the style of writing of the author or the choice of questions to ask to such eminent personalities leave a lot more to ask for. Printing, paper quality and binding are good. A touch overpriced for not so great interviews of some great personalities.

Recent Lake George Reviews
Great cottage right off of Lake George!
My wife, two year old son, and I stayed at this cabin for three nights in October 2014. We had a great stay, and recommend it if you want great views, and want to stay in a centrally located but quiet area. The location of this cottage was perfect. about 1 mile past the touristy area of Lake George Village (maybe 5 minutes when you get off the NY Thruway). Situated on a steep hill right off of the lake, with no trees or houses obstructing the view. It was perfect. When we weren't out sightseeing, we were on the deck looking out at the lake and mountains on the other side. There is a fire pit right on the edge of the property looking out over the lake, too. A long staircase leads to a small "beach" area and boat dock. We spent only a little time here just to explore, since it was too cold to swim and we didn't have a boat. But there is another fire pit down here and a picnic area for more great views. The house is small considering it has 6 beds (enough for 8 people) between 4 bedrooms. There were only 3 of us so the space was more than enough, but would be cramped if you were going to have more than 4 or 5 people stay. The house was relatively clean, but a little aged. The appliances are pretty old and may need to updated. The washer was broken and we didn't know about it until we got there. A minor inconvenience. Just a heads up for people with small children, the house and yard isn't the most child friendly place in the world. In order to have a fantastic view, the house and deck are above a very steep hill, and the deck had wire railing instead of wood. This made us very nervous that our son could slip through, and it wasn't a short fall. The north side of the yard was level and safe to play on, but all other areas were off limits. Even though we always keep a close eye on our adventurous child, we had to be especially cautious on the property. Bolton Landing was an awesome little town and only about a 5-10 minute car ride. We were here during the low season so we did not get to enjoy the beaches or a lot of the stores and restaurants since they were closed for the season. If you stay at this cabin expect awesome views and a great location.
Great quaint yet modern cabin!
Once we pulled up the kids were in awe! We stayed in mid-July. We stayed in Cabin 2. It was my husband, sister, and her 3 kids- 13,11, and 8. The kids had a ball. We made big bon fires nightly and the pool was great. Overall, very clean and accomodating. We brought our 2 small dogs as well. Next time we will definitely book 2 cabins, but the one we stayed in fit us just right. We slept in the room with the queen size bed. My sister and her son slept in the room with the 2 twin beds, and the little ones slept on the big futon in the living room. When we arrived there were brochures and travel guides awating us, along with a nice letter from the grounds keeper/ property manager. There was free wifi and cable and all worked well. We were 5 minutes from town and provisions, and 20 minutes away from Lake Geroge Vilage, where we spent 2 of the 4 afternoons. At night we BBQed and roasted marshmallows. Definitely will stay again! The only negative was that the rooms had a strong musky smell. Also, when we arrived our bbq wasnt working well. But once brought to the property manager's attention he went out and bought us a new one the next day!

Harlem Soul Food and Jazz Evening Tour
Take a tour of Harlem, then dine on soul food and see a jazz show at a famous Harlem club. There's no better way to explore the full range of Harlem's diverse ethnic history, music and food!
- Perfect introduction for first-time visitors
- Led by a local guide
- Free drinks included
- Dinner included
Harlem has evolved into one of the city's hip neighborhoods, full of bars, nightclubs and restaurants. Harlem is also a center of jazz and bebop music. Many famous artists have performed at Harlem's Apollo Theater including Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald and James Brown.
This evening tour takes you behind the scenes of Harlem and covers all aspects of this famous neighborhood. You'll explore Harlem's musical legacy, its churches, spiritual centers and swinging nightlife.
After your tour of Harlem, you'll be treated to a traditional, home-style soul food meal at a local restaurant. Then, after dinner, you'll catch a jam session at a local Harlem jazz club, where two free drinks are included and the music is red hot!
On Mondays, you can dance the night away at Harlem's renovated Cotton Club, where you'll sway to the beat of a local swing band. Dance lessons are available on Mondays.
Q: What is "Soul Food"?
A: Soul Food is traditional African American cuisine that originated in the South in the United States. Today it has become a highly sought after cuisine. It consists of spicy ribs, collard greens, fried fish and chicken, freshly cooked corn bread, and a few side dishes like black eye peas, okra, or macaroni and cheese to mention a few. There is no separate vegetarian menu, however, some of the food, including the greens, corn bread, okra and macaroni and cheese are vegetarian.

Loved every second!!!! Particularly loved our guide Peggy and the Cotton Club, magic night:)
Reviewed by: Lynne B, December 2014
This was the most fun evening we spent in New York. The guide was a delight, very knowledgeable and efficient in making things run smoothly. Harlem is fascinating, I hope they don't ruin it by gentrifying too much. We could have heard more jazz, one set wasn't enough. Next time we will do the gospel tour.

An album confident enough in its substance to not force profound stylistic changes. [#21, p.100]
There's a bit of Starbucks gloss to this record, a too-easy-to-like quality that may at first put off serious listeners and music heads. That evaporates pretty quickly, though, as you recognize that its lucid simplicity, its artful artlessness is not a trick, but achievement.
It all sounds familiar but strange, and beautiful enough to suck you in. [24 Aug 2006, p.94]

I have used this pack on about 5 week long trips now. It has worked really well for me for the most part, comfortable padding. The front pocket opens wide to shove your coat during the walk or to hold your water bottles. The water bottle pockets on the side are too tight to hold a bottle, instead i carabiner them onto the hip gear loops. The brain is easy to get into, even when the pack is full. the bottle opener on the shoulder strap is stupid! better off without it. I do enjoy this pack and will continue to use it.

CHARLOTTE, NC -- LivingSocial deals and other websites like it are a great way to get big discounts, but what happens when the vendor offering the good deal doesn t follow through, even after you paid for it?
You go on these sites looking for a good deal and it s usually a win-win for everyone. The vendor sells a lot, and you typically get a very good deal.
Steve Gray thought he was getting a good deal for a $59 detailed car wash he bought on LivingSocial, but he says after a month of not being able to contact the vendor to redeem his carwash, he gave up.
When Steve wanted his money back, he says LivingSocial only offered him a credit to the same business. Why would I want an extension of the deal that wouldn t work? says Steve.
The NBC Charlotte I-Team contacted LivingSocial and explained the situation. Citing good customer service, they decided to refund Steve his $59.00.
LivingSocial wrote: I checked in to the promotion we ran with Top of the Line Earlier this year. In this case, there were other customers who had similar issues with redemption and scheduling their servicing. Because of that, we are offering refunds to any customer who has been unable to use their voucher based on similar problems they simply need to contact us at help.livingsocial.com. We have already taken care of the credit card refund for Mr. Gray. Our consumer services team has just emailed him to let him know that the refund is being processed. Ensuring a good customer experience is extremely important to us. We are sorry for the inconvenience, and really appreciate the merchant feedback.
If you have a consumer problem you d like some help with, big or small, send me an email and we ll do our best to try to help you.
The email is firstname.lastname@example.com and be sure to look for the Bill McGinty WCNCCharlotte Facebook page, like it and senda message. And don t forget, Bill ison Twitter as @billwcnc.

"I'd like to remind all those urban rat racers to take a moment out of their busy schedules and look at the beautiful objects of art that surround them as well as provide out of town visitors with several points of interest near their Downtown hotel rooms."
One of her most recent posts takes a look at pieces in the Capella Tower, including blown glass pieces by Dale Chihuly and a steel sculpture by John Chamberlain.
She also documents iconic Downtown signage, such as the Murray's Steakhouse neon sign, and the "Citizen" sculpture in the AT&T building — a bronze sculpture of a worker resting at a bench with a briefcase at his side.

Stone Arch Festival of the Arts
Art lovers should also take note of the Stone Arch Festival of the Arts set for June 19 & 20.
The riverfront festival, featuring 250 artists booths, will line Main Street Southeast near St. Anthony Main. There are four live music stages, too, with more than 40 musicians lined up to perform.
There will be tons of food vendors as well, serving up a wide mix of snacks — walleye fingers, tacos, cheese curds, mini donuts and much more.
Other highlights include the Art of the Car show and family activities at the Youth Arts Quarter in the Father Hennepin Park near the Stone Arch Bridge.
Festival hours are 10 a.m.–6 p.m. both days.
Salon supports school in Tanzania
The Jungle Red Salon Spa & Gallery, 1362 LaSalle Ave., in the Loring Park neighborhood is hosting a fundraiser June 19 for a secondary school in Tanzania.
The goal is to raise enough money to pay for a year of school for three orphans who lost parents to AIDS at Peace House Secondary School. Eden Prairie-based nonprofit Peace House Africa opened the school in the fall of 2007. In 2005, Tanzania was home to about 2 million children orphaned by AIDS, according to a news release about the event.
"AIDS is such a tragedy that has struck worldwide, but perhaps the most vulnerable group affected by the disease are the children who are left behind with nowhere and no one to turn to," said Suzanne Erickson, owner of Jungle Red Salon. "Peace House Africa has provided an answer to those children's prayers, and Jungle Red Salon is honored to be able to help Peace House Africa provide a promise for the future to those children."
The fundraiser will be 7–11 p.m. There's a $5 cover.
Northeast Minneapolis tour

BOISE-- A grass fire burned about 300 acres in a southwest Boise neighborhood Monday afternoon.
The fire sparked around 4:30 p.m. on Umatilla Avenue near the New York Canal.
The fire burned to about 30 yards from one home.
Winds caused the fire to change directions -- raising concerns.
The fire is contained, but at this point there is no cause.

'The Real H.R. Ocampo' revealed
The transparency as regards the provenance of each work is admirable
More News from Cid Reyes
"It started as a joke," said Ramon Villegas in his opening remarks, referring to the title of the show, now on view at Ayala Museum.
The show is actually billed as "The Real H.R. Ocampo: From the Paulino Que Collection." It is the latest of the series "Images of Nation" that has previously featured the works of National Artists Victorio Edades, Carlos "Botong" Francisco, Vicente Manansala, Jose Joya, and now Hernando R. Ocampo.
Ken Esguerra of Ayala Museum, clarified to this writer: "The title is a double-edged blade, but it really means revealing the essential art of H.R. Ocampo."
The show is, quite simply, crammed with masterpieces. The works are exhilaratingly revelatory of the depth and richness of possibilities in direction of this Filipino master which his early works in the 1950s very tantalizingly suggested.
Illustrious provenance
Moreover, the transparency as regard the provenance of each work is admirable. Each acquisition from the previous owners is a story unto itself: how Paulino Que assembled over a period of 30 years these 51 paintings and various drawings, from the disparate private collections of such illustrious individuals as varied as the family of Aurelio Alvero (a poet and critic who wrote as "Magtanggul Asa"), Lyd Arguilla, Roberto Villanueva, Lita Umali-Berthelsen, I.P. Soliongco, Eugenio Lopez Sr., Virginia Ty-Navarro, Don Luis Araneta, Teodoro Valencia, Alice M.L. Coseteng, Boysie Villavicencio, Salvador Bernal, Wili and Doreen Fernandez, Milagros Palanca-Furer, Emilio Aguilar Cruz, Arturo Puyat, Josie Joya Baldovino, Michelle Calica, Ricardo Scarella, Horacio Borromeo, Marino Corpuz.
More intriguing is the "repatriation" of some works that have found their way abroad. As with the works of Amorsolo, who knows what other Ocampo paintings still lie hidden in some attic or basement in the US?
The earliest work in the show is the 1939 "Madonna of the Well," which, as Villegas notes in the commemorative book, is "an attempt at Filipinizing the iconography of Madonna or Virgin Mother with the Child Jesus." Galo Ocampo has his version, the "Brown Madonna," as does Vicente Manansala, who did "Madonna of the Slums."
Enriched by influence
Three significant art movements absorbed the interest of Ocampo, at least as evidenced by the Surrealist underpinning of "Blooming," with its disembodied arm and clenched fist rising from the ground. "Flora" depicts a couple of stylized flowers insidiously opening up like sinister cavernous mouths.
Cubism, which strongly influenced his contemporary Manansala, enriched Ocampo's spatial dimensions, with the planar and volumetric correlatives of the idiom lending a multidimensionality to such native still lifes of fish and fruits and the Mother and Child theme.
"Dalawang Isda" can be credited to the compositional rigor of Juan Gris, with its tightly interlocked planes replete with diamond and chequerboard designs. With these 1951 works, Ocampo also demonstrated his predilection for texture, his palette knife goading each daub of pigment into a buttery richness.
Divisionism, initiated by George Seurat, which engaged the retina to optically mix the colors, yielded a more intense and brilliant radiance of light. Ocampo proved to be a master of this technique, which reached its apex with "Backdrop," possibly the largest work of the artist.
The fastidious and relentless application of oil pigments transformed the pictorial surface into a seeming mortared arena, festooned with shreds of ripped canvas or cloth alluding to its title. Villegas regards it as "one of the most abstract images in Philippines art."
But for sheer exuberance of Ocampo's classic cellular forms, verging on the operatic, "Decorative Motif" is unmatched. The work is a winding trail of duodenal membrane encasing a womb-like cavity where an ambiguously formed organism, half-embryo and half human, is nestled in its amniotic sac.
Debt of gratitude
By virtue of its being the dramatic tapestry at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, "Genesis" may be the most instantly recognizable of Ocampo's works, but one work in Paulino Que's collection can easily better it. The painting is titled "Conquerors," dominated by three suggestively human figures with their sinister pointed heads, disturbingly mutant as to refer to another well-known Ocampo series.
Indeed, the public owes a debt of gratitude to Paulino and Hetty Que for sharing their vast private collection of Filipino masterpieces in this and other past exhibitions. Incontestably, theirs is the finest, most comprehensive personal holdings in the country. As someone stated, not quite kiddingly: "It is the Real National Gallery of the Philippines."
"Images of Nation: The Real H.R. Ocampo" will be on view at Ayala Museum's Third Floor Galleries until Nov. 17.

Teen's letters from Nazi-run labor camp were hidden in house
Over the months, though, in between positive reports about his life at the work camp, the letters conveyed a sense of gathering doom. The final one, in September 1942, signs off to his parents "with a big kiss and wishes for strength."
Deborah Slier never knew Flip. Her father and his father were brothers, and her father "had the good fortune" of being unemployed in the 1920s. Good fortune because he left the Netherlands before the Nazis arrived and found work in South Africa.
She was born in Johannesburg. She remembers a day after the war ended when a notice came for her father from the Red Cross. It told him his entire family had been exterminated.
"It was the only time I'd seen him cry," she said. "He said, 'I understand about my brothers, but what harm could my mother, an old lady of 86, ever do to them?' And then he never mentioned it again."
When the letters were found in Amsterdam, she was Flip's closest living relative, so they came to her. As it turned out, she and her husband were well-suited to tell the story.
They live in New York City. She's 81, a longtime book editor and bookstore owner. He's an 80-year-old doctor and author of two books on genetics.
They spent seven years trying to find people and places mentioned by Flip in his letters. They traveled to the Netherlands. They said they were awed by the stories they heard of the Dutch Resistance during the war — local farmers and others who lived near the camps and risked their own lives to hide Jews or smuggle them food and supplies.
"When people hear about the letters, they assume this project was heartbreaking," Deborah Slier said. "In fact, it was elevating because of what we learned about these people who were extraordinarily brave and generous when it would have been so much easier just to look the other way."
Before their book was published in 2008, they hired a proofreader. Moved by the letters and the young man who wrote them, she refused payment. "I'm in love with this boy," she said.
Preserving history
Susanne Hillman teaches in the history department at UC San Diego and coordinates the Holocaust Living History Workshop. It sponsors about 10 presentations each year on campus — survivors, witnesses, scholars. They are videotaped and stored for research and education by future generations.
The workshop is an offshoot of the USC Shoah Foundation, created by Steven Spielberg in the wake of his 1993 Holocaust film, "Schindler's List." The foundation has recorded almost 52,000 testimonials, the largest digital archive of its kind in the world.
Hillman said every eyewitness account is unique and important in its own way, but she called the Slier letters significant because of the way they were discovered and because of the research done to put them in context.
She learned about the letters from another member of the family, David Slier, a psychologist in La Mesa. He and Deborah are distant cousins. After the book was published, she went looking for any Sliers in the U.S. and sent him a note, wondering if he had family from Amsterdam. He did, and now Flip's story, which he didn't know about before, is part of his story.
"This goes to the deepest part of my being," David Slier said.
"Our hope is that stories like these will be used by young people to realize that the Holocaust was a tremendous tragedy in recent history," Hillman said. "I describe it to my students as a rupture in civilization. We all need to understand what it means for humanity, what it says about what humans are capable of."
And what it says, in this instance, about how history sometimes hides in unusual places, waiting to be found.

Yvor Winters' Wild West: Adventures in Poetry
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m. PARENTS DINING ROOM
Kenneth Fields is a poet and critic whose most recent book of poems, Classic Rough News, is available from the University of Chicago Press. He is Professor of English at Stanford and has for many years taught young writers about the art of poetry. Other students he has taught about the history of English poetry, of American film and popular music. He is justly well-known on campus as a master-teacher and story-teller too. Long ago he studied American literature there with Yvor Winters (1900-1967) and edited an anthology on the history of the lyric with the teacher who was in all senses Fields's mentor. Winters was an extraordinary literary critic whose judgments were nothing if not sharp and direct. Fields, his last student, is a critic of catholic tastes and a reader of expansive sympathy.
Winters was also an important poet of the mid-twentieth century. Two of his most famous poems, "The Slow Pacific Swell" and "On a View of Pasadena from the Hills," recall his family home in La Crescenta, about 25 miles west of the CMC campus. Kenneth Fields comes to CMC to speak about Winters in Southern California. This talk is part of a series of talks on California writers sponsored by the Literature Department and the Gould Center.

Bruins not sure if Adam McQuaid's injury is 'day-to-day or a week-plus'
|11.11.13 at 12:13 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid was confirmed out for Monday's matinee against the Lightning with a lower-body injury, and the Bruins aren't sure when he'll be able to return.
"They haven't told us whether it's day-to-day or a week-plus," Claude Julien said. "I don't have the answer for you there."
McQuaid appeared to grab his groin area during his second shift of the game Saturday against the Maple Leafs. He was slow to get off the ice and did not return. Asked to confirm that it was a lower-body injury, Julien said that it was the area McQuaid grabbed as he went down.
"I think everybody knows where he got hurt," Julien said. "I think he grabbed it quick enough that it was pretty obvious."
With McQuaid out, Matt Bartkowski will play Monday. He was paired with Johnny Boychuk in Sunday's practice.

Fairy tales may not literally come true, but the history of Antonín Dvořák's Rusalka, particularly in the United States, bears some resemblance to the genre it represents. An instant success in the composer's Czech homeland at its 1901 premiere, Rusalka fared less well in other countries and was rarely performed abroad for more than half a century.
A full-length activity, designed to support your ongoing curriculum.
Three "Musical Highlights" designed to focus on bits of music from Falstaff to cultivate familiarity with the work.
Performance Activities for students to enjoy during the Metropolitan Opera HD transmission.
A post-transmission activity, integrating the Live in HD experience into students' wider views of the performing arts and humanities.
The happy ending began in 1988, when a graduate of the Juilliard School from upstate New York won the Met's National Council Auditions with her performance of Rusalka's "Song to the Moon." Two years later, the Seattle Opera and Houston Grand Opera invited the young soprano to sing the title role in the opera's first major U.S. productions. Audiences began to fall in love with Rusalka—and with its star, Renée Fleming.
The opera reached the stage of the Met in 1993, and Ms. Fleming, who first sang it there in 1997, returns this season to headline the same classic production by Otto Schenk in this Live in HD transmission. It's a perfect staging for young people, full of fairy-tale magic. It also allows room to look at the work's allegorical qualities—which are explored in the activities in this educators' guide. While many students may recognize the story of Rusalka from other incarnations of the same source material—most notably the animated Disney film The Little Mermaid—this guide will help them navigate the sophisticated differences found in the operatic version by Antonín Dvořák and Jaroslav Kvapil and examine its mystery and beauty. Above all, the guide seeks to enhance students' understanding, appreciation, and joy as they experience both the supernatural and the profoundly human aspects of this opera and its Live in HD presentation.

The only other thing I'd do is go buy an aloe vera plant. Another suggestion, is to get all your bigger kids some children's viatimins, for the C and E- these antioxidants can help the skin repair itself more quickly. Cool baths, with little to no soap, so it doesn't dry out.
Yes, breastmilk will really help. Topically- lactic acid helps the skin shed without hurting, the oils form a barrier, and the milk is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. Internally- breastmilk has the sugars and proteins needed for swift healing, and nursing reduces stress and sensations of pain.
And yes, breastmilk is anticarcenogenic. My favorite miracle story is, a boy I met at the WIC office was born with a inoperable/untreatable malignant tumor on his spine, that by 16 months, had disappeared on its own. The boy's mama was convinced it was because she nursed him all he wanted- she dropped everything, went on welfare, to nurse this baby 24-7 in the hospital for over a year. And the little boy? Shy, a little small for his age, doing fine.
Treat the blisters like any open sore- avoid anything that hurts, keep clean, etc.
Honestly, I think everything will be fine.

The Legend of Shadi-er
Shadi-er was a member of the Weiwuer people of Xinjiang during the Qing

and singer of folk-song, using this art as a weapon against the Qing government.
His popularity in Xinjiang aroused the fears of the central government and he
was eventually killed, although his death did nothing to diminish his popularity.
His songs are still current today.
Fishermen's Song of Lake Shenyang
Fishermen's Song of Lake Shenyang expresses joy at a good catch and the
beauty of the scene, as hundreds of junks are seen in the red glow of dawn.
Borrowing material from the folk-music of Anhui Province, the composer attempts
to depict here a festival market. The form of the music resembles an intermezzo
or overture in a traditional opera. It begins with the sound of the suona (Chinese
oboe), imitating the laughter of the people. Most of the instruments used are
of high pitch, including the dizi (Chinese flute), sheng (Chinese mouth-organ),
erhu and gaohu (Chinese two-string fiddles), with the obligatory percussion
that adds to the folk character of the music.
Movements in Jiangsi style
I. Spring
Spring expresses the innocence of human nature, resilient rhythmic patterns
emerging from less well defined surroundings. There is a central romance, followed
by the reappearance of the lively opening theme.
II. Nanci
The slow movement is tragic and desolate in mood, questioning, as it reaches
its climax, the meaning of life and fate, and ending with open chords.
III. Parting
Parting is a solemn melody, which appears in the strings, without vibrato.
An erhu melody shows the parting of a mother and her son and the theme is repeated
by the zhonghu (Chinese bowed instrument of middle range), hoarsely expressive
of grief.
of the Moon on Erquan
from the original composition by Hua Yanhun)
a piece for solo erhu, Reflection of the Moon on Erquan, depicts the hardships
and misery of the blind musician's life. Erquan, which means the second best
water-spring in China, is found in the composer's home-town, Wuxi.

MacBook Pro or MacBook Air 13?
Hello all,
I'm trying to decide if I should keep my 2007 MBP 15 (4GB Ram, 128GB SSD) or get a 2012 MBA 13.
I mainly use my current MBP for daily tasks (e-mail, web, facebook, etc.) and remote support (I'm a IT hardware tech who needs to occasionally remote into PC/Macs). I'm leaning towards the Air for battery life and portability but $1199 is a bit of change since I already have a functional Mac that works great (sans battery life.
Decisions, Decisions!

Hi funny you should ask, I have a 2006 MBP and just jumped on the refurb 2012
13" MBA at $899.00 free ship with the same 1 yr warranty. Its on ebay.
I like the 15" MBP very much, bought it used and has served me very well.
I have an 11" 2011 MBA for another location, and I really like the Air, especially for typing, and my needs are not vast, but I do download a lot of pics, not been a problem. The Air is sleek, fast, and plenty of oomph for me at $899.00
a complete no brainer, but they are going quickly.

Why not buy the 2012 13 MBP and swap your SSD drive into that one so you save some dough? You can also do the data-doubler and swap the superdrive with your 500gb HD.

i was in a similar situation as you and all set on the MBA 13" until i went to the fruitstand and actually tried them out.
The MBA13" is awesome - but for my purposes I decided that the 11" is the one for me.
ultimately the debate for was between the 11" MBA and the 15" RMBP
there isn't a huge weight difference between the 13" MBA and the 13" RMBP (which is about .5 lbs heavier) and the 13" RMBP actually has a slightly smaller footprint than than the 13" MBA believe it or not.
While the 13" RMBP is obviously a "better" (read more powerful) computer than the 13" MBA, i don't think it's as good a deal in terms of what you get for what you pay. So that made the 13" MBA the one i was leaning towards...until i played with the 11"

I avoid EBay like the plague. Far too much like gambling. Look at apple.com refurbs. Full warranty, pretty good discount and you usually cannot tell from brand new.
Also, take a look at Apple's own store on EBay, that has proven reliable and may offer a better price than their own apple.com store. Same Apple, same warranty.

A little over a year ago I had the same dilemma replacing my 2008 15" MBP/4GB/160GB HD. I got the 13" MBA and have been delighted with it ever since. CPU almost twice as fast the the old MBP and the new ones are even faster. Screen physically smaller but the same number of pixels as the old 15" MBP so everything feels very familiar.
Having done some travel recently, I might have been even happier with an 11" MBA however. At home, it's always connected to an external monitor and keyboard so it wouldn't be any different from my 13" MBA. But the smaller machine would be even nicer on the road (although the 13" ain't bad either).
|Mar 28, 2013, 02:01 PM
It's funny a few who go for the 13'MBA end up with the 11" me now I am ending up with both. The 13" at the $899.00 is just stinging with value, remember the very 1st Air ?, wasn't it like $1799.00
I just wonder what the price of the retina is going to do, my guess go down, and the newer Airs will probably have it.

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note.
Hard to believe the Bruery is only 5 years old. Out of California, these makers of experimental beers have quickly established a reputation for being some of the best brewers in the country. They make gigantic, challenging beers that run the gamut from imposing imperial stouts to complex sour beers. If you're lucky — and if you like humongous beers — then Bois, their 5-year-anniversary ale, is for you. This is an old ale (similar to a barleywine) aged in bourbon barrels, only it's far bigger than your usual old ale (it clocks in at 15.5 percent) and is blended from the four previous anniversary beers. So, yeah: This is one complex, intense (in both barrel flavor and aroma) and mighty forward beer. Can you handle this? You can't handle this. Bois is not yet on tap in Philly … but will be soon. Look for it.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
We were very worried about having a DJ with just the right personality for our wedding -- so much can go wrong when there are issues with this! Our DJ, Zach, was absolutely amazing. He was interactive with us and our guests, but not too much, and seemed to genuinely be having a good time. He was also great about moving songs around at my request to accommodate leaving guests, cranky children, etc. Overall a great service, and an incredible value (book early!)
I am the honored bride and recipient of the 2015 Fairy Godmother Project MN wedding, a project made up of the best wedding vendors out there who are committed to giving a dream wedding to one military couple a year. Adagio volunteered immediately to provide Djay services to the project. Their online planner is super slick and easy to do on your downtime! I requested a Djay that was highly interactive with guests and would add a fun personality and element to our night, and they sent us Zack! What a perfect match for us! Zack was on point all night. He respected my do not play and please play lists. He kept the energy going all night and the dance floor was packed. People were literally upset when the night ended. Zack called me directly the week before to discuss details with me, and he gave me his cell and told me to feel free and call/text if anything came up that he needed to know. Super easy going and personal service! I had made several specific requests to Zack…."don't let this person have the mic", "don't let this person start singing karaoke", etc….he was awesome at honoring these requests and anytime anything questionable came up, he just whispered in my ear and let me make the call. Awesome! And he looked great! So grateful to Zack and Adagio for partaking in our dream wedding!!
Everyone was very helpful and friendly to work with. Pur DJ Michael was exactly what we wanted. He made sure everyone was having a good time and he kept people on the dance floor.
One of our main goals was for everyone to have a fantastic NYE. Our music/DJ was a big part of the reason over half the wedding stayed past midnight, despite the wedding starting at 6 p.m. They had to kick around 40 of the 110 of us out at 1 a.m. That's probably the best endorsement I can give Adagio.
We had a wonderful experience going with Adagio for our wedding! They are very easy to work with and were able to accommodate any and all of our requests. We had a great mix of music to ensure everyone was having a great time.
We used Adagio for our wedding and they provided EXCELLENT service. We were very happy with their services and I would highly recommend them.
Seriously had the best Superhero themed DJ any bride & groom could hope for, THANK YOU Troy Iverson for being so talented and awesome! Troy was a true joy to work with and delivered on his SUPER promise we discussed in pre-planning meetings. You must book Adagio for your wedding, they are the best in the biz!
As a Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews groom, I was very impressed with how Troy Iverson incorporated my favorite music into our social hour, dinner, and dance. He was very responsive and delivered on all his promises. My wife and I were very pleased and you should book Troy for your wedding.
Adagio was great! They were easy to work with and everything was done exactly how we wanted!
Adagio is a great compnay to work with! Zach was the DJ for our wedding and he couldnt have done a better job. He listened to what we wanted and made our reception perfect! He kept the dance floor full all night playing all the right music! He made sure he had all the names correct for the grand march and announced everyone perfectly! Couldnt have asked for a better DJ! I also love adagio's planning worksheet, when we filled it out we thought that it was a bit rediculous and long but now I understand why. It made it so we got everything we wanted. So happy with Adagio!
Everything leading up to our big day was very easily managed with Adagio's website. Our DJ contacted us shortly before our wedding to finalize plans. The day of, everything ran smoothly as possible! We highly recommend Adagio! Our guests still talk about how fun our wedding dance was!
Troy was great! He played the songs that we wanted to play and did an amazing job working with us and making sure everything went the way we wanted it to go.
Thank you so much for such an amazing experience. From day one, we felt so comfortable choosing Adagio. It was great to be in contact with Jay, and after our DJ was chose, Michael. I can't tell you how happy my husband and I are with our reception. Michael was phenomenal. I really believe that the evaluation we did to help Adagio choose a DJ that fit our personalities was perfect. We wanted a DJ that would know when to get people on the dance floor with the songs we chose, how to entertain the crowd and one that had similar tastes in music. Michael did all of that. Music is a huge thing for Troy and myself, so being able to choose the songs we wanted or didn't want played was very nice. The fact that Michael knew when to play them and incorporate them into his mix, was great! We couldn't be happier that we chose Adagio. It was the reception we always wanted, and thanks to your company and Michael, we got that.
We first learned about Adagio at one of the Twin Cities wedding shows and had a great first impression. Our meeting at their office prior to booking helped answer a lot of questions and they were very thorough in explaining our options and what to expect with Adagio. Their online planning tool was easy to use for both "special" songs and regular dance songs. We were a little nervous not meeting our DJ until the week of our wedding, but Drew was excellent. He was professional and laid back and accommodated all of our requests and last minute tweaks. My only disclaimer is that "full price" would have been stretching our budget, but with the wedding show and early booking discounts we received, we thought Adagio was a great value. The music and DJ services were exactly what we wanted-- adding to an amazing day without stealing the show.
PS: Another wedding we went to a month before ours also used Adagio and we had a blast at their wedding as well!
Their service was amazing. Got back to you in a timely matter. Very helpful with making everything come together perfect. The day of dj was on time and very active with my wedding guest. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Troy and Preston did an excellent job from the beginning to the day of!
