Offroad/onroad combination - Montana vs 350LM
Currently, I run two GPSs on my bike: a Zumo 550 and an Edge 800.
The Zumo 550 hits a sweetspot as a great onroad device - its good at recording log tracks, showing fuel/speed stats, and routing on US roads with City Navigator. Its robust and doesn't crash. However, when I load routes in from Basecamp, even with the same maps, the autorouting on the Zumo is different from the Basecamp routing, especially on offroad segments, and there is no way to see the original route generated by Basecamp (I wish there was a way to see both the original route in a gray line and the current autoroute in a different color... but nope). I can turn off autorouting, but then if I make a wrong turn I have to manually figure out how to get back on track. Also when I zoom out, the smaller trails disappear, so its hard to see navigate offroad. I restort to a game of turning autorouting on and off and zooming in and out - its easy to make errors. More so since the fine dust of Moab got into my Zumo 550's screen and made the touch sensor flakey.
A buddy has an Edge 800, which shows exactly the same route as the route produced by Basecamp. Its not designed for motorbikes, it sometimes crashes, but it does offroad pretty well, has a robust touch sensor, and shows good detail for smaller roads, so I started carrying both units on my bike, using the 550 loaded with City Navigator maps for the road segments and relying on the smaller Edge 800 with Topo maps for offroad segments. Cumbersome but it works.
Recently I started riding in Europe. My Zumo 550 doesn't handle the 2012 Europe City Navigator maps well (that or the maps are buggy) - it tells me to take exits that are actually overpasses... So I decided its time to look at the newer Montana and the 350LM.
Garmin has this trick where things that you imagine should be easy are hard. Map data is a good example. You imagine that once you buy a map, its like buying an ebook - you own it and can use it on your devices. Certainly, if you buy an sd card map, then its fairly easy to move the chip from one device to another. But every time you want to open the map in basecamp you have to plug a device in and wait for the maps to be transferred into basecamp, which can take a very long time. Plus you may not have that USB cable with you, its easy to misplace those chips, they don't label the MicroSD chips, and once you have multiple maps you cannot merge them onto one chip... So perhaps the DVD option seems good. Sure enough, if you buy the dvd version, the maps can be installed on a laptop easily, and run nicely with basecamp, but the unlock code is tied to a single device, its $$$ if you upgrade to a new device, and you now have to transfer the map data to the device, which takes a long time. The download option is similarly restrictive. You end up with choices that all have subtle corner cases where none of the options give you a sense of satisfaction and freedom you expect.
The new Montana/350LM devices are much the same.
Montana is very close to being an ideal onroad/offroad device, but as an onroad automotive device its missing some features:
* Doesn't have a fuel odometer, or multiple trip odometers, or low fuel warning.
* Claims it is glove ready, but the onscreen layout has smaller buttons than the Zumo, hardly easy on the fingers.
* Doesn't come loaded with city navigator maps - unclear how to put topo and street maps on the device at the same time since there is only one chip slot (see above).
* Doesn't give junction previews
* No physical-buttons, all touch-screen buttons. I like the 550s physical buttons when riding for common functions like toggling screens.
* No avoidances support
* Bulky compared to the 350LM
Zumo 350LM appears to be a well rounded 550 upgrade, although they deleted the media player features of the 550. Still, it has cons compared to the Montana:
* Same road disappearance issue as the 550 (the Montana shows more details, important offroad)
* Screen is less bright than the Montana
* No Garmin connect support
* No custom map support
* No BirdsEye satellite imagery support
* Unclear how well it handles autorouting for routes generated in Basecamp that mix offroad, direct and autorouted segments
I haven't looked at the touch screen technology, its unclear which device is going to handle fine Moab dust better... they are both expensive.
Garmin seems determined to keep their devices differentiated enough to make both the Montana and the Zumo less than ideal as adventure gps devices. For now I'm holding off buying until I see a single winner that clearly beats my two device setup. Perhaps someone out there has some other research to share on this?
On the Zumo 550, leave auto recalc off and just use the Detour button to get back on route.
You might want to do a little more homework on the Montana and BaseCamp/MapInstall. You can load as many map products as you have space for (32GB is the max µSD Card supported). With installed Routable Maps, you can set Avoidances just like on the zumo. Although you won't get Junction View with the Montana, you do get Lane Assist as with all CNNA installations.
The rest of your comments are subjective and all opinions are valid. Using gloves with any touch screen GPS is a "depends" proposition. It depends on your glove size, your dexterity and sometimes a little better understanding of how to best interact with the display. There are quite a few DS/Adventure Touring riders out there with Montana's today. If you want a little more info you might try browsing the Montana thread on this forum.
Good luck with your decision.
You are right, the OS maps are getting very good. The NZ Open GPS project is fantastic, for example. However, although the map is in some cases more up to date than Garmins' map, it doesn't contain topo data. For offroading, its really great to be able to see elevation data.
* Doesn't have a fuel odometer, or multiple trip odometers, or low fuel warning.
* The onscreen layout has smaller buttons than the Zumo.
* Doesn't come loaded with city navigator maps.
* Doesn't give junction previews
* Thicker and heavier than the 350LM
Zumo 350LM:
* Same road disappearance issue as the 550 (the Montana shows more details, important offroad)
* Screen is less bright than the Montana
* No Garmin connect support
* No custom map support
* No BirdsEye satellite imagery support
Montana vs. 350LM
Good afternoon Jondirt,
This topic is of interest to us as well with the deployment of the new Zumo 350LM. We have both devices in the shop now and have done extensive testing in the last month on real world rides such as the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route and regional street use. We have mounted the Zumo 350 on one bar and the Montana on the other and worked with them. The disparity is significant in multiple areas.
We have assembled our take on the new unit and have posted our findings in our GPS Ready Room thread here. We will have the devices in the shop for another two weeks so if there are specific questions or configurations you want to look at, let us know and we can sample them for you. We too have looked at all of the considerations that you have listed in addition to our own and have decided on the core devices to use.
Based on our testing, at this time, the Garmin Zumo 66x and Montana 6xx are the two series PND's that are recommended for your specific needs. The Zumo 350LM is a mild replacement for the Zumo 550 and lacks some inherent and important off road capabilites that will take extensive O.S. service packs to overcome, if at all.
Thumbs up - Dan Townsley is a respected GPS user and has real world experience in global travel with various GPS' under commercial use and environments. Glad he provided his input here.
Good luck with your decision. BTW, we like the TAT too.....

On the Montana, do you miss the fuel gauge support? Its something I frequently use on the Zumo 550...
I'd be sold on the Montana if it supported third party apps - then other groups could develop e.g. a fuel gauge, or multiple trip meters, or, my favorite idea for an app: a way to wirelessly transmit an address from my smartphone to the GPS. I often use my phone to find addresses, only to rekey them on my GPS.
I agree with you that Basecamp is the way to go. My biggest frustration with Mac Basecamp is that you can't create routes that combine auto-routing with direct-routing. So when I have a day planned out that combines offroad segments with road segments, I have to split it into multiple routes and load each one separately, changing device routing settings as I do so. As you point out, I could just follow a track, but drawing a track for a 300 mile day is tedious...
Works for me every time...
P.S, Why are you "drawing" Tracks for a 300mi Day? Is that 300mi all not on a mapped road? When I want to create l-o-n-g Tracks, I just use the Routing tool and create a route. Then I just "Create Track from Route" and then add in any other track segments I might have.
Garmin Zumo 350LM vs. Montana 660T
Good Day Jondirt,
Great. Good discussion. Addressing today's input:
1. Fuel Gauge Support - You are correct that the Montana does not support the same fuel gauge monitoring as the Zumo models. It will be unlikely that Garmin will add it at this time. It would take a lot of requests from users via Garmin Ideas or technical support to warrant the development hours. Great input and you are encouraged to drop Garmin a line and let them know your ideas for a perfect, well rounded GPS. This can be said for most comments to the Garmin and their marketing/development teams. The Montana does have the ability to add the Trip computer to just about anywhere on the screen(s) you like to create your own process to know when to get gas. These are typical field choice items and are usually handled by each user differently. TIP** In the field, the tour guide or lead rider resets their gas at every fueling, to ensure accurate time/distance covered. Other riders are encouraged to do so as well at their fueling. Always best to fuel together when in a group. On your own, you can zero out the trip odometer and 1. Create a waypoint at fuel or 2. Reset your GPS Trip Computer at fuel. For Zumo this is a non sequitur as the fuel gauge is built in.
2. Yes, there are 3rd party applications for Garmin and TomTom PND's. The largest seller of these applications is Spot It Out. They are approved vendors for Garmin and Tom Tom and sell their titles on those companies websites as well as their own. Been in business for 4 years and growing. They are ahead of the curve and once more GPS users are aware of GPS content applications, more content will be created. Circle of Life.
Additionally, both our company and Mad Maps have motorcycle oriented content that is used annually for DP and street rides on that site. The capabilities are increasing little by little. For example, our GPS title for Route 66 covers 5,000 miles of Route 66 with complete turn by turn directions, over 900 points of interest, pictures and in 40 audible languages. It even calls out the exact names of the roads in Text To Speech as listed on the signs on the road. As you can see, there is a market for GPS content and capabilities but, developers can only do so much and need to work with the specific platforms SDK kits. Your idea about address transfer is technically capable via bluetooth, wi-fi or Zig-bee but would need manufacturer buy in. Again, good input to get over to Garmin Ideas. In the meantime, the 6 million POI's in CNNT as well as your manual input can get you anywhere. Also, you can just "touch" the map and have the GPS route you right to the point if you know roughly where you are going. Field choice.
3. Drawing Tracks - I interpreted it that you were creating a route on routable roads and then having Basecamp "create track from route" to avoid the manual process of placing points. At times, one does both. Agree with Dan on this.
4. Direct - Routable creation - Dan is offering excellent advanced advice here. There are a few ways to achieve it and his is clean and fast while working in one program. In Basecamp you can just select" Global Map" or in Mapsource "No Map" and "fool" them into thinking you have to go direct at times. Other options are to 1. Segregate and create seperate Routes and Tracks during the planning phase and push them to the device on synchronization. This allows a user to know when they are on dirt or street. Also good for naming schemas when you are pre planning and want to determine stages (I.E) 1. Denver to Cheyenne - Route Roads 2. Cheyenne to Jackson - Dirt Track, etc. Finally, by segregating the tracks and routes, you can assign different colors to the segments. There are few ways to do all of this and those discussions are more common once the specific device is acquired and riding locations are determined. It all comes with training and experience. You'll do great.
Summary - Purchase the Zumo 660 or 665LM, 100K topo (non routable) or 24k topo (routable). Both have the fuel gauge that you are looking for. The new Zumo LM's don't come with DVD's (all download or direct import via Basecamp at connect) but do have enough internal space (2+ GB even with primary CNNT map installed) for both maps. SD card storage adds to it. You will always have the latest maps and can always download to "Device" or "Device and PC". You can always get the Montana 660T with the latest CNNT as a Lifetime Map add on Part # 010-11269-00. The Montana rocks and we have both as they are both stellar. At this time, it sounds like you are leaning towards a bit more of the road device features. The Zumo 660 is on the big bikes going worldwide and works double duty. Has sweet bluetooth for helmet goodness as well. If you have the scratch....go BIG and get both.

Garmin Montana vs. 350LM - Application Extension
Hello Dan,
Delighted to see your reply and will enjoy sharing some information regarding your points. You're a trusted GPS expert and all courtesies will be extended. Although the scope of our conversation will most likely be outside the use of the average GPS user, it may offer a glimpse into the "inner workings" of the units.
Let's remove Tom Tom from the conversation as no one has brought that up so far and the units aren't typically used by the community here.
Applications - Definition: While most past and current PND's allow for a custom .GPI to be created via the mildly simple and free Garmin POI Loader and then deployed to the units as "Tour Guides" with pictures, voices and other information, I am referring instead to the Garmin Content Toolkit. It is the next evolution beyond POI Loader and one must pay an annual fee to be an authorized GCT developer. On the index page for Garmin Content Toolkit it states, "The Garmin Content Toolkit consists of two applications:" and then goes on to list them. Additionally, on the Garmin Device SDK page it states, " For advanced users desiring to develop their own custom software applications for communicating with Garmin® GPS products," and it to goes on to describe them as "Applications".
These are truly "API's" that originate out of SDK's. While they may not extend the devices potential as far yet for user customization on par with Android or IOS, they are indeed the beginning of that concept and go as far as Garmin will allow at this time. The River Pilot applications created by using the Garmin Content Toolkit go beyond what an average user at their desktop or POI loader can do. Examples are:
1. Unlimited amount of Waypoints. There are no known limits yet.
2. No Track point limits. I routinely exceed 10,000 points. There are no known limits yet.
3. Ability to create a route that follows roads with full bilingual TTS and no "flags" or via points as usual and without the device calling out the next via point. Furthermore, as you know a track has no TTS triggers for audible navigation abilities and of course a Route with multiple via's will call them as the next destination in general while intermittently offering road designation. We have none of the problems and all of the "exactly what we were looking for" goodness. I would suggest watching a demo video of how it works here: We are staying on a defined road (recalculate set to "off") and not using a route but the device is behaving like it. Can only achieved with GCT and techniques.
4. Route over dirt or street with similar behaviors.
5. The software route runs in separate memory space and can be turned "Off" or "On". Same for the alerts. Looks like an application and behaves like an application. I would assert it is an application.
Dan, think of the possibilities. A user like yourself could go wild having some fun. Some of the limitations encountered by the average user melt away. Content Toolkit allows for encrypted .GPI's to protect I.P. and distribution. Content is delivered via Garmin Communicator. Your work with OSM is similar in some ways but we stay within the "mothership" and are guaranteed functionality.
Mapsource Product Creator (MPC) - This is rarified air and there are only a handful of authorized companies in geographic regions in the world who are allowed to create from it. Again, annual fee for development access. MPC allows for creation of entire maps and content, let alone applications. In essence, one could create a CNNT equivalent with all the capabilities. Routable segments over water, air, dirt, or even defy gravity. Whatever a creator wants to do. Have worked with samples and they are truly interesting.
I hope that satiates your interest and I encourage you to bring your skill set and enthusiasm to the table and investigate more about these products.
Dan, it's a treat to chat with you and have a great day.
@ jondirt - Thanks for the platform and allowing a discussion outside of scope.

Hello River Pilot Tours,
I support your and other's efforts to expand the GPS Travel market. As for the Device SDK and the Garmin Content Toolkit, I have used both of those "kits" and found them to be of little long-term value - that was four years ago and I don't think anything has changed. Yes, the GCT could be defined as creating content applications. The main concern I had was that even though the GPI file is "locked" the reality is that there isn't any way to provide DRM in the GPS Travel [data] world. Once the GPI data has been used the intent of the application has been "released" to the user and the very platform it runs on by way of the GPS Track Log. That Track Log is the property of the User and the GPI application can not disable it - nor should it. So, what does that all mean? It means that we in the Travel business who provide GPS data to our customers must rely upon the moral ethics of the purchaser to control our IP. Since you work with Sam and the TAT data I expect that you have reviewed the years of discussion on this topic on advrider.com and we certainly don't need to start a new thread on the topic here. :eek1 Glad to see that you are taking advantage of Sam's personal IP in your Tour products. :clap I believe that our knowledge as "guides" is the real IP value in the touring business.
Then of course there's the not-so-little issue of which Garmin GPS products actually support Tour Guides. This point is the second reason I passed on the GCT for our tour data. We have little to no input in Garmin's product functionality. My experience has been that Garmin's Marketing group has repeatedly shown little awareness or support for third-party content like our's by continuing to release PND's that don't support the content but yet are targeted at our customers - the zumo 350LM is a good case in point.
Yes there is MPC - but my view is that Open Source data and compilers will continue to take market share from the third-party [MPC] map makers. Allowing the reverse-engineering of Garmin Map data/compilers is one of the main reasons Garmin has been so successful in my opinion - so I don't think Garmin will do anything to disrupt that trend in any major way.
Happy to discuss the GCT more with you off-line if you'd like - I had originally hoped it would produce content across all of Garmin's Adventure Touring and Dual Sport worthy GPS line - alas, not to be.
Got to run. Tour perp'ing for the 29 Dec start of our Alaska to Tierra del Fuego Adventure (Stage 2 & 3).
For me, switching to a non-routable map as you suggest (the only nonroutable map I have of my area is the Global map), doesn't show the trails and other details I need to draw the route along... so I find switching activities the better approach.
However, your point "DO NOT recalculate" is the rub: In order to preserve the direct routing segments, you cannot modify the route (add or remove waypoints) after it is drawn; you cannot drag that route into another route to combine routes; if you decide to change the global routing preferences for the Motorcycle activity, ALL your direct routing segments are lost... there are probably other cases where recalculation is done. For a day trip, none of that is a big deal. But while planning a twenty day journey, I end up creating provisional routes, finding out that one day has too many miles, editing the previous day, discovering a new offroad segment etc... During all this this editing I've found I lost and had to redraw the direct routing segments too many times for me to trust the workaround you propose.
The direct routing segments are simply not persistent enough. What is missing is a way in the Waypoint Properties to indicate that a Waypoint should always be treated as a "direct-routing" waypoint...
Yeah, Garmin could make it easier on us folks that actually use the software to plan complex long Journeys - no matter what method we use: Tracks and/or Routes.
As for your "Journey Folder" idea, there is no way software is going to do trip optimization for you in a consistent manner that meets all of your expectations anytime soon - the next 20yrs. But, when it comes to sending all of your "Journey's" data together so that it shows as a collection, the Garmin Adventures feature is almost there. Unfortunately, for you who use Routes, they do not show in the Adventure "Collection" when it is transferred to the GPS (Handheld units only at this time). The Routes do get transferred to the Route Planner they just don't show in the "Collection". I can't fathom why Garmin did this but hopefully they will "fix" this soon.
If you don't already, I encourage you to go onto the Garmin Forums for Mac-BaseCamp and express your feature desires. The dev Team's do participate.

Jeff Kolpack, Published February 06 2013
Bison sign 21 to 2013 football recruiting class
He got a few hours of sleep, but that didn't do much to ease the stress.
"I couldn't eat, my head was hurting," he said. "Migraines from the stress level I guess."
The stress started to ease just past 9 a.m. when he faxed his letter of intent to the NDSU football office. What started as scholar-ship offers to 12 different schools in December finally ended on national signing day.
NDSU signed 21 players and announced eight preferred walkons on Wednesday afternoon. One of the positions of emphasis, said head coach Craig Bohl, was linebacker.
That would make Gee-Tucker a possible prized commit.
"He's an excellent young man, has outstanding character and great grades," said his Belleville West head coach Cameron Pettus.
Other schools thought so as well. He narrowed the 12 scholarship offers to five for on-campus visits. Be-sides NDSU and UNI, it was Southern Illinois, Missouri State and Indiana State. He said Missouri State sent six coaches to his house for a visit.
NDSU sent three with Bohl, defensive coordinator Chris Klieman and linebackers coach Steve Stanard. Word of his commitment to UNI began to surface earlier this week, but the change of heart, he said, came when he began to look at the "stability within the program."
"I felt like in the long run things would be better at North Dakota State," Gee-Tucker said.
By Wednesday afternoon, he said he felt a big weight off his shoulders. "I can actually smile now," he said. "I couldn't smile before."
Bohl said the recruitment of Gee-Tucker was competitive because his home area near St. Louis gets a lot of recruiting traffic from many schools. Plus, it's an area NDSU has not typically recruited and there was a distance factor the Bison had to overcome.
"That's hot Missouri Valley area," he said. "He's got a lot of ability but what you can't do in the middle of this is because a guy has a whole bunch of other offers and maybe some guys have one, we learned a long time ago they're all important in our recruiting class."
Besides Gee-Tucker, the Bison signed linebackers Matt Plank from Gardner, Kan., Nick DeLuca from Omaha, James Gates from Menomonie, Wis., and Alex Hahn from Oak Creek, Wis. Plus, linebacker Mike Goergen from Adams, Minn., is a recruited walk-on.
It's possible at least a couple will play right away, mainly because of a lack of depth this season and linebackers usually make for the best special teams players.
"It's a critical area and we addressed that," Bohl said.
Moorhead's Chase Morlock, who was a standout linebacker for the Spuds, will begin his Bison career as a running back, where he also excelled.
"He's a dynamic player," Bohl said. "Whatever he does he achieves at a high level. He's a winner in everything he does."
The class includes three direct connections to NDSU. Goergen is a cousin of Bison associate athletic director Troy Goergen and walkon Keenan Hodenfield from Ray, N.D., is the son of former Bison assistant coach and player Shane Hodenfield.
Tight end Connor Wentz from Dunnellon, Fla., is the cousin to NDSU backup quarterback Carson Wentz. In addition, Bohl coached the father of quarterback recruit Cole Davis from Kearney, Mo., when Bohl was an assistant at the University of Nebraska.
"Cole sometimes dates me a little bit," Bohl said. "Things are starting to cycle around me a little bit. It concerns me a bit about my age when I have players whose dads I coached."

Does anyone know how to teach acceptable noise levels to kids? Mine are incredible loud, and I just.cannot.stand.it anymore. Same for Husband.
I get really aggressive due to the constant yelling and screaming. They don't talk, they scream.
They swear. Like sailors. I swear, they have never heard words like that from me. Ever.
Both are diagnose with ADHD.

Hi Trinity,
I used visuals for my ASD children. Everytime they were loud, I would show them the visual of where they are at and were they should be. I carried it with us in public too. They often get distracted and 'forget' their noise level so I constantly remind them. This website has an example of a visual that I used, but it also has other strategies that were used in a classroom.
thank you for the reply, I'll look into it.
I just found a "noise light" as an app on iphone, and we started to use it yesterday. Rule is, if they manage to not get a red light, they'll have ice cream for desert. It worked! At least yesterday. they did not manage to earn icecream and were staring onto the phone the whole meal, but they were so much quieter!
I hope I can wean them off the staring, but for now we'll continue the light. And best was, if you buy a "real" street light thingie for noise, it's like 100 bucks, and as an app it was 2!

JONESBORO(AP) -- A candidate for sheriff won his election despite facing a 37-count indictment, which could bring a lengthy prison term if he's convicted.
Challenger Victor Hill defeated incumbent Clayton County Sheriff Kem Kimbrough in Tuesday's primary election. Hill got about 53.7 percent of the vote.
Hill has denied the allegations. The charges, which range from racketeering to witness tampering, stem from Hill's earlier term as sheriff in the county south of Atlanta.
Attorney Harlan Miller, who represented sheriff's deputies in a legal battle with the county, tells The Clayton News Daily that Hill is like a "bad ant bed" that's hard to get rid of.
It's uncertain whether Hill will take office in January because Gov. Nathan Deal could suspend him until he goes to trial.

Ya know I have what most would consider a naive and somewhat useless question. Mr. Biden how many guns do you own?
over 2 years ago
Good article Matt,thanks.There is also a problem with some individuals who are private dealers whom don't bother to get a license.They buy in volume and care not who they sell to.Unfortunately they are somewhat like weeds in ones yard.You pick two and three pop up.Sadly tis a lucritive business such as the drug trade.

Check this out. Notice that regardless of route the gun took, all the routes lead back to a legal distribution channel that was either circumvented by a corrupt dealer, a corrupt purchaser, or a theft from a law abiding citizen.So, obviously we need uniform regulation and enforcement in the legal distribution channels across the country.

Bump to you Lonna.Dang,girl you're starting to think like a Republican,I'm starting to worry about you.I hope and pray Obama and/or Biden aren't going to try anything by executive "fiat",it won't fly.Unfortunately,however,trying the same old stuff will not work either.Felons can get guns off the streets easier than the citizens can purchase them at a dealer and they are more powerful and cheaper.I don't have all the answers,but I hope somebody and /or a group of sombodies do soon.
I don't think Biden has formed some politiburo against Gun Owners, but I join those that don't feel comfortable in having our elected officials delegate the future of them. On the other hand our current stats are frighting, what are we to do?
I'm 110% in agreement w/Darsavmo regarding enforcing the current laws and the current background system may need some tweaking to ensure weapons do not wind up with felons, those convicted of assault, the very unstable, and those with serious anger management problems ect.

John Sherman Jr., retired vice chairman, CEO and president of the investment advisory firm Scott & Stringfellow, and Bob Piazza, former vice president of human resources and talent manager of science and technology company Danaher Corp., will help Robins School students with professional and career development. The executive-in-residence program began with an endowment by the Manville Foundation for Private Enterprise in 1979 to bring distinguished business leaders to the Robins School. Sherman and Piazza will serve as what Robins Dean Nancy A. Bagranoff calls "super-mentors," available to meet with students and provide guidance in specific professional fields.

Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

Explore Design (ED) is one of the most energetic conferences we've participated in. After ED wrapped up on Thursday, our feet and throat were telling us just how much they were overworked, but it was totally worth it. :) During the two-day conference, a couple of thousand high school students visited the Microsoft booth. It's so nice to interact with them directly and hear their unique feedback on the Microsoft Design examples we showed. Some of interesting observations:
We actually got some media attention, too. An interview with Lisa Anderson, Director at Surface UX team, on ITBusiness.ca. Both Tech Life (CTV Online) and OMNI Television came to our both and conducted interviews. I really hope the experience of Explore Design can encourage more students go into the field of design, especially User Experience Design for technology!

Uptick in back-to-school sales expected
76 million The number of children and adults enrolled in American schools — from nursery school to college — in October 2008.
56 million The projected number of students to be enrolled in the nation's elementary through high schools (grades K-12) this fall.
19.1 million The projected number of students enrolled in the nation's colleges and universities this fall, up from 13.8 million 20 years ago.
$7.2 billion The amount of money spent at family clothing stores in August 2009. Only in December were sales significantly higher. Similarly, sales at bookstores in August 2009 totaled $2.5 billion, an amount approached in 2009 only by sales in January.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau
As summer winds down, and with the economy showing signs of stabilizing, retailers are optimistic about back-to-school sales.
The International Council of Shopping Centers is forecasting this season's sales will be up 5.4 percent from last year, potentially the strongest showing since 2005, when they rose 6.4 percent.
The National Retail Federation is also predicting better sales, with combined K-12 and college spending expected to reach $55.12 billion nationwide, serving as the second biggest consumer spending event for retailers behind the winter holidays.
Before his alarm clock rocks him out of bed for his first day at Rio del Valle Middle School in Oxnard, Adam Carrillo, 12, will shop for basic school necessities — paper, pens, erasers and notebooks — and he's also looking for a backpack.
"Last year's ripped," he said.
The back-to-school shopping season typically runs from mid-July through mid-September. Adam's going to try to get his shopping done soon, "to avoid the lines."
Nearly half of the back-to-school shoppers surveyed by the NRF said they will hit the stores about a month before school starts. The NRF also found the average American family will spend $606.40 on clothes, shoes, supplies and electronics, compared to $548.72 last year and $594.24 in 2008.
While the numbers are expected to be better than last year's, federation CEO Matt Shay said, "The industry still remains cautiously optimistic about recovery."
Mark Stephenson, a retail consultant with The Parker Avery Group in Atlanta, expects K-12 shoppers to move from discount stores to online purchasing this year.
The reasons for the shift are twofold: convenience and a shift in marketing.
"There's more target marketing occurring than ever before," he said.
Retailers are "e-marketing," he said, because it's a lot cheaper and more effective for retailers who have shifted their advertising dollars from standard print media to online. They also are sending e-mails and using pop-up ads to draw traffic to sites.
Unlike grade-school kids, college students are still expected to hit the discount stores, but Parker Avery anticipates their online purchases will be flat compared with last year.
"They've already been making the online purchases," Stephenson said. "That market is pretty much saturated."
Jaclyn Lovato, 19, will go online to do some comparison shopping for the computer she intends to buy for school, but first she wanted to check out Best Buy's inventory in Oxnard.
"This is my first computer," she said, perusing the aisles Monday afternoon.
Lovato's classes at Ventura College begin Aug. 16. Except for the computer, she doesn't need much in the way of school supplies, having already invested in a value pack of pencils and other items.
"I'm pretty much going to use everything from last year," she said.
At Pepperdine University, bookstore sales declined over the past year. Pepperdine Bookstores Manager Chris Renbarger said the recession slowed sales and shoppers purchased fewer high-priced items with the Pepperdine logo, replacing them with lower-priced, generic notebooks, three-ring binders and pens.
But the decline in sales is expected to stop this year.
"I expect them to either flatten or increase this fiscal year," he said.
College students will spend the most on electronics this year, the NRF says, with the average family shelling out $236.94 on computers, cell phones, MP3 players, cameras and other electronics.
When people think of back-to-school shopping they don't always think about social networking. But Chris Yee, a home automation designer at the Best Buy store in Oxnard, said college kids who attend schools long distances from home are looking for webcams, PDAs and other devices to help them stay in touch.
"Social networking is a very big deal these days," he said. "It's the whole element of feeling (your family's and friends') presence without them being there."

Rolling Stone Original (EP, Exclusive, Single)

Label: Orchard Enterprises Inc
Ted Leo's music loses none of its soul when stripped down to just an electric guitar. In fact, much like his inspirations (namely the early work of Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg and Paul Weller), Leo's songs seem to get better the more you strip them down. This exclusive EP focuses on tracks from 2003's Hearts of Oak.

Astin's Theory of Involvement
The ACE Advisory Board feels that we should include this Student Development theory on Student involvement because it really speaks to the purpose of the ACE program and why we feel it is beneficial for our students and their holistic development.
Astin's (1984) theory of involvement posits that students learn more the more they are involved in both the academic and social aspects of the collegiate experience. Students who are involved devote significant energy to academics, spend time on campus, participate actively in student organizations and activities, and interact often with faculty. On the other hand, uninvolved students neglect their studies, spend little time on campus, abstain from extracurricular activities, and rarely initiate contact with faculty or other students (Astin, 1984). Importantly, the most persuasive types of involvement are "academic involvement, involvement with faculty, and involvement with student peer groups" (Astin, 1996, p. 126). This theory is consistent with student-centered teaching approaches in that the student plays an integral role in determining her or his own degree of involvement in various educational activities.

Affiliated Scholar, Eisenberg Institute for Historical StudiesAssociate Professor, History, University of Windsor
Robert L. Nelson is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. His revised Cambridge dissertation appeared in 2011 as German Soldier Newspapers of the First World War (CUP). The German "colonial" depiction of the "natives" of the Occupied East in that study spawned Nelson's second major project. Publications on this colonial theme include: Germans, Poland, and Colonial Expansion to the East: 1850 through the Present, ed., Robert L. Nelson (Palgrave, 2009); "From Manitoba to the Memel: Max Sering, Inner Colonization, and the German East", Social History 35 (2010); "The Baltics as Colonial Playground: Germany in the East, 1914-1918", Journal of Baltic Studies 42 (2011); and "Utopias of Open Space: Forced Population Transfer Fantasies During the First World War", in Jochen Böhler, Wlodzimierz Borodziej, and Joachim von Puttkamer, eds., Legacies of Violence: Eastern Europe's First World War (de Gruyter, 2014). He spent 2012-13 as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Free University of Berlin.
Professor Nelson is currently completing a manuscript on Germany's "colonial" history in East Central Europe, 1880s to 1945. Evolving directly from this project, he is simultaneously working on a global comparative study of the phenomenon of "inner colonization," and how agrarian settlement experts around the world analyzed each others' work in order to more successfully settle farmers within the borderlands of their respective countries. An unrelated project, being conducted with Chris Waters (Law, University of Windsor), is a legal history of the targeting of civilians, from the Thirty Years' War to today. Finally, Nelson is developing an academic interest in a certain, rather important "material of history": food.

A testosterone test measures the blood level of the male sex hormone testosterone. Testosterone, which plays an important role in sexual development, is produced mainly by the testes in boys and in much smaller amounts by the ovaries in girls. Testosterone is also produced by the adrenal glands in both girls and boys.
In young boys, testosterone levels are normally low. As puberty approaches — usually between the ages of 10 and 14 — the pituitary gland (a pea-sized gland near the base of the brain) secretes two hormones (luteinizing hormone, or LH; and follicle-stimulating hormone, or FSH) that work together to stimulate the testes to make testosterone.
Increased testosterone production is what causes boys to develop deeper voices, bigger muscles, and body and facial hair. It also helps the testes produce sperm, and it plays a role in speeding a boy's growth in height during puberty.
Two separate assessments may be performed as part of a testosterone test:
The doctor may order one or both tests. However, because sexual development involves many other hormones, a more complete picture can often be obtained by performing other tests at the same time, including an LH or FSH test. For example, low levels of testosterone can be due to a problem with the testes' production of testosterone or to the pituitary gland not making enough of the hormones that stimulate the testes to produce testosterone.
Doctors may order a testosterone blood test if a boy appears to be entering puberty earlier or later than expected. High levels are associated with precocious (early) puberty, while low levels may indicate a delay in sexual development. In girls, high levels can be associated with the appearance of masculine characteristics, such as facial hair.
The test may also be used in either boys or girls to check for damage or disease of the testes, ovaries, adrenal glands, or pituitary gland, or to check for steroid use.
In teens and adults, testosterone levels can help doctors evaluate fertility or menstrual problems and sexual function.
No special preparations are needed for this test. The doctor may want to perform the test in the morning, when testosterone levels usually are highest.
On the day of the test, it may help to have your child wear a short-sleeve shirt to allow easier access for the technician who will be drawing the blood.
A health professional will clean the skin surface with antiseptic, and place an elastic band (tourniquet) around the upper arm to apply pressure and cause the veins to swell with blood. Then a needle is inserted into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand) and blood is withdrawn and collected in a vial or syringe.
After the procedure, the elastic band is removed. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed and the area is covered with cotton or a bandage to stop the bleeding. Collecting blood for this test will only take a few minutes.
Collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and can feel like a quick pinprick. Afterward, there may be some mild bruising, which should go away in a few days.
The blood sample will be processed by a machine and the results are commonly available after a few days.
The testosterone test is considered a safe procedure. However, as with many medical tests, some problems can occur with having blood drawn:
Having a blood test is relatively painless. Still, many children are afraid of needles. Explaining the test in terms your child can understand might help ease some of the fear.
Allow your child to ask the technician any questions he or she might have. Tell your child to try to relax and stay still during the procedure, as tensing muscles and moving can make it harder and more painful to draw blood. It also may help if your child looks away when the needle is being inserted into the skin.
If you have questions about the testosterone test, speak with your doctor.

First thing students at Collegiate High learn is 'Yes I can'
Lisa Zamora's counselor at Martin Middle School convinced her to apply for Collegiate High School, a rigorous academic setting that gives students the opportunity to graduate from high school with a two-year degree from Del Mar College.
The 14-year-old had to gather references, write an essay explaining why she wanted to attend and face a panel interview before becoming one of 110 Corpus Christi Independent School District freshmen to be chosen.
And she almost didn't accept the invitation.
"I just wasn't raised to think about going to college," she said.
Lisa, who would have attended Carroll High School, is exactly the type of student CCISD hopes to reach with this new, innovative program.
The district set out to reach not only the students with the highest marks, but those who had the greatest promise, those who displayed the academic potential but faced barriers that may have kept them from obtaining a post-secondary education, said Principal Tracie Rodriguez.
Those barriers could be financial. Or a lack of support. Or just a change of mindset.
There is no mascot, no fight song and no football team. No lockers, no bells and no strict dress code.
It's not what most would expect a high school to be.
Students of Collegiate High School had to give up all those things to attend the new school housed on Del Mar College's East Campus.
But the tradeoff is worth far more.
"I get to do six years in four," said Emiliano Carlos, 14.
Emiliano would have been a freshman at Miller High School this year. He said he wouldn't miss out on too much.
Later this semester, the students at Collegiate High will vote to establish school clubs that could include student council, honor society, dance and intramural sports. They eventually will choose their own mascot and write their own alma mater. And when they graduate, some of them will walk the stage twice - first to receive their high school diploma and later with Del Mar graduates to receive their college degree.
It has been only a few days (after a weeklong camp for incoming freshmen), but the campus already is beginning to change the way Lisa thinks about education and where she sees herself in the next several years. She thinks the program is better than a regular high school. It's fun and the teachers are nice. It's a new future.
"When I finish, I'll be the first in my family to graduate high school," she said. "And I'll be able to further my college education."
She doesn't say if. She says when.

Last week, 9to5 Mac spotted an interesting post on Apple's website that showed a yet-to-be announced Mac mini model — Mid 2014. This mistake was quickly taken down but not before much could be written about it. The question now is not whether Apple has a Mac mini update, but when Apple will release it?
Last night, while stumbling upon Penn & Teller's whimsical Fool Us TV show (sorry, I really don't watch much live TV anymore — thank you Apple TV), I found myself watching what I thought was another Microsoft Surface commercial, wasn't a Microsoft ad at all. Rather, it was a generic Intel tablet commercial, pushing the idea that Intel-based tablets are what people need (not ARM-based or iPad tablets). Just how desperate is this dual-force Microsoft and Intel I wondered?
Microsoft's failing campaign to sell their heavy, battery draining 2-in-1 Surface Pro is one thing, but Intel trying to sell the idea that the only type of tablet worth buying is due to something the user will never see, touch or understand – the processor. Apple's dark decade of the 90's laid the groundwork for Intel to advertise to, what could be described as, low technology information consumers. Intel was successful in pushing the idea that when looking to buy a new PC, that only an "Intel Inside" PC was worth considering.
2010 was the last time the Apple faithful were treated to a new product category launch. The iPad made its debut just three years after the incredibly successful iPhone introduction. Over four years has passed since the iPad was announced, yet Apple has produced nothing "new." Over the years iPhone and iPad have certainly improved — iPad now has a mini companion — but Apple's history has set expectations for the company to launch something yet unseen, yet unknown, or yet to be done, every few years.
This Fall presents Apple another opportunity to break the cycle of just another set of upgrades to current product categories. The iPhone 6 (aka iPhone Air) is most likely going to sport a larger display (or displays), but it may be a new product that steals the show. Under Tim Cook's leadership, there have been two special events in the Fall. A September show (2012, 2013) and an October show (2012, 2013). October is a special month for Apple as it is the beginning of its fiscal calendar. If you have never worked for a fortune 500 company, let me tell you, that is a big deal. Never under estimate when products launch and how they are tied to how bonuses are calculated.
One feature of Apple's forthcoming iWatch is becoming abundantly clear. Whether it is Apple suppliers yielding information, or reviewing Apple's long-standing patents, the company's first-ever wearable will be stunningly flexible. The band will be flexible, the display will be flexible, and even traditional areas where a thick printed circuit board and battery pack should be — it will all be flexible. iWatch will not only be thoroughly pliable but it will also be stunningly thin.
Yesterday, Apple released two additional networks onto Apple TV: CNBC and Fox Now. While both have clips or what often amount to short promo videos of full length shows, neither network ads much value without a key or a cable or satellite subscription. Without a TV subscription service, these, and dozens of other networks, on Apple TV are virtually useless.
High value networks such as EPSN, CNBC, HBOGO, ABC, Disney Channel and over a dozen other networks all require TV subscriptions to access popular content. Apple TV is being manipulated by carriers into a cable TV accessory.
The heavily rumored Apple iWatch is most likely to become a reality this Fall. While competitors such as Samsung, Google and others have created high-tech "wearables", Apple typically does things differently — and better. Before iPhone, it was Blackberry who ruled the day as the serious smart phone with a physical keyboard, email and some limited web browsing capability. Then Apple entered the market with the iPhone and the industry was changed forever.
Earlier this year, the rumors were that the iPhone 6 might be released at WWDC. Then other rumors came out for a summer release. August is almost here and we have yet to hear anything from Apple, as it appears both sets of rumors are incorrect.
Current rumors show the new iPhone 6 coming in two screen sizes: a 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches. Along with bigger screens the new iPhone may have a faster A-series processor, a more durable sapphire display, smaller bezel, and thinner chassis. The larger iPhone may have Optical Image Stabilization to set it apart from the smaller one. However, what do the current rumors say about a release date?
Years have gone by and even Gene "no lines" Munster of Piper Jaffray seems to have given up reporting that an integrated Apple HDTV of some sort is just around the corner. When Gene gives up on the idea, it must be a dead product, right? Will the mythical Unicorn Apple HDTV ever arrive?
During the past year, attention has shifted away from an Apple TV and towards the idea of Apple launching a watch-like device, and more recently, chatter has surrounded the forthcoming iPhone. But Apple has become a master of "look at the shiny object in this hand while you ignore what we've got in the other." Just because focus has shifted away from a living room device going above and beyond the current Apple TV in no way means it isn't be developed, or waiting for an opening in Apple's schedule to launch.
When Apple showed off OS X Yosemite (aka 10.10), the Moscone crowd's excitement grew at the turn of each new slide. OS X Yosemite promises to polish off some rough edges that Mavericks attempted — away from skeuomorphic design and to a more simple, elegant (aka flat) user experience. In addition Yosemite will deliver a host of new features and connectivity with iOS devices.
Rumors continue to mount that Apple's Sapphire glass production continues to plot along at a pace which cannot meet a heavy launch demand come September. Many are pointing towards 5.5" Sapphire production issues, which would make sense due to the overall display size, let alone the production volumes which Apple's heavily funded supplier, GT Advanced Technologies, must produce at an ever increasing pace.
The Sapphire glass is being manufactured in a new production facility in Arizona. If it is unable to achieve output numbers sufficient to launch the a 4.7" and 5.5" iPhone in tandem, it could have a disastrous effect on the overall launch of iPhone line. The tech media is always ready to pounce on Apple if it takes a misstep, especially on such a prestigious product as the iPhone.

NHL on NBC: Streaking Penguins march to Philadelphia
Mar 17, 2012, 10:12 PM EDT
All season the Pittsburgh Penguins have shown they can excel even without their superstar captain, Sidney Crosby. They were on a nine-game winning streak before Crosby's return – but that doesn't mean they aren't grateful to have him back. Crosby immediately made his mark with two assists, including one that was awarded to him after the fact, in his return and another three assists in Saturday's game. His performance has reinforced the notion that, when they're at full strength, the Penguins should be regarded as a serious Stanley Cup contender.
Odds are that the Philadelphia Flyers would like to prove that they're more than capable of beating the Penguins, regardless of Crosby's status. They'll get the chance to do just that on Sunday (12:30 pm ET, NBC). Philadelphia currently has a 2-1 series lead, but Crosby didn't play in any of those contests. To make matters more difficult for the Flyers, they'll have to compete against them without a couple of key players, including Chris Pronger, who is out for the rest of the season with a concussion. Fortunately for Philadelphia, like the Penguins, they have demonstrated that they can find ways to win even under less than ideal circumstances.
This game will be a matchup between two of the NHL's league leaders in points, Evgeni Malkin and Claude Giroux, plus an extended cast of skilled forwards and offensive defensemen. That being said, depending on the goaltending matchup, this might not be a high-scoring game. Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury is on a nine-game winning streak and Philadelphia's Ilya Bryzgalov has been even hotter lately. Although Bryzgalov suffered his first loss since Feb. 28 on Saturday, he's less than a week removed from establishing a new franchise record for consecutive shutout minutes.
This is the first of three meetings between the Flyers and Penguins in the final three weeks of the season. With the two teams currently occupying the fourth and fifth seeds in the Eastern Conference, it's entirely possible that these upcoming contests will serve as the setup for a first round series between the bitter rivals.
