When President Barack Obama designated five new national monuments earlier this year amidst sequestration and fiscal uncertainty, he knew these designations would open the door for economic growth in America's local communities.
America has 108 places protected as National Monuments. Every one of these gems has been designated because of its unique historical, geological, biological, scientific or cultural value.
Expanding energy development to meet the growing needs of America must be balanced with protecting vital wild places.
On April 16, the House Committee on Natural Resources held a hearing to once again consider undermining the Antiquities Act which allows the president to set aside important historica
In honor of its birthday, we have chosen Arches National Park in Utah as our Friday mystery photo. Arches was actually first established as a national monument on April 12, 1929.
It wasn't until 1971 that Arches gained its national park designation.
We are thrilled to select the San Juans as our Friday wilderness photo. Why? Because earlier this week Washington's San Juan Islands became one our nation's newest national monuments.
Exlpore the San Juan Islands: Top hikes
The San Juan Islands, located in Washington state, may not be a tropical paradise, but it is paradise none-the-less with hidden coves, swashbuckling storybook island names (Skull Island and Iceberg Point Rocks) sandy beaches and trails to explore.

also how long does xanax take to get out of your system?
Responses (1)
lord i hope so. in that case i should be okay on the xanax but i smoked a couple last hits of weed yesterday literally 3 inhales. i weigh 117 tho so how long you think until that will be out? considering i smoked about a joint a day before the last hits. also do you have any idea about barbituates or opiates?
i keep hearing from people that xanax takes longer than anything besides pot like saying it takes 2 weeks.. thats why i ask about xanax.
will the niasin (water pills) show up on a drug test?
yes niacin can show up but they can't get you for it. you can get 5000mg of Niacin from a single 5-hour energy. as for the mj just count your last full paper as your last smoke. but you know the easiest way to pass a drug test is to not do them at all.
Also with your body weight the pharmacologic run through is faster than most.
thanks alot buddy

Berrigan Shire's community helpers rewarded at Australia Day ceremony
Berrigan Shire welcomed back former Finley boy Wayne Rowlands on Sunday, with the physicist appearing as the guest speaker at the Australia Day ceremony.January 30, 2014 4:19am
Mr Rowlands, son of well known Finley residents Bill and Lyn Rowlands, made and impressive speech and even made a guest appearance playing with local band Mulberry St who entertained the crowd.
Mr Rowlands studied at Finley High School and became a leading scientist – with highlights including establishing the first laser-cooled molecules lab in Australia and setting up a Bachelor of Science degree in Photonics – and imparted some wisdom on the gathered crowd.
''Follow what you want to do,'' he said.
''I think the hard things in life are the best – why would you do only easy things all the time and not try any hard things?
''I try to impress upon people that doing those hard things is what's important. It is what you make of it.''
At the Finley ceremony, a group of very proud Berrigan Shire citizens were recognised for their contributions to the community at Sunday's Australia Day ceremony.
The coveted Citizen of the Year was chosen from a selection of nine hardworking Berrigan Shire residents.
Dawn Huxtable, Henry Matheson, Jim and Barbara Cullen, John Dickins, Robyn Mott, Valda Cole, Ian Dickins, John Milne and Geoff Boscombe were all nominated, with Mrs Mott announced the winner.
Finley's Zoe Richardson, who enters into Year 12 at Finley High School today, was announced as the Young Citizen of the Year.
Zoe said she was proud to receive the award from a community she loves living in and being a part of.
''I just hope I can give back to the community that has given so much to me,'' she said.
Zoe's nomination read that she is a ''strong, enthusiastic and dedicated member of the community''.
She is heavily involved in a number of community activities and groups including her school student representative council and the regional and state student representative councils.
The Finley High School student actively participates in both the swimming and netball clubs as an athlete as well as in a fundraising and volunteer capacity.
She has committed a great deal of her time helping organise and run youth based activities and events – all whilst completing her education at the high school.
Up and coming promising junior netballer Chelsea McDonald was named Junior Sportsperson of the Year.
Unable to attend Sunday's ceremony her award was collected by her grandfather Brian Gale.
Chelsea, a regular in the Finley Cats uniform, was named Finley A grade Best and Fairest in 2013 and Murray League Best and Fairest in her first year of playing senior netball.
She also received the prestigious honour of being named the Murray League's Rookie of the Year.
The 15 year-old was named in the regional State Under 17s League side, Murray Netball League representative side for Under 17s and was selected in Finley High's open netball side and for the Victorian Netball Academy.
''She is an asset to her club and not only is she a phenomenally talented player, she is an outstanding representative of her club and league,'' the nomination read.
Community Organisation of the Year was awarded to the Berrigan Amateur Dramatic Society, commonly known as BADS.
Accepting the award on behalf of the group was Malcolm Dickie.
''BADS has been a big part of Berrigan since 1923,'' he said.
''When you walk around the town, every family I know has had some sort of connection with BADS.''
Each year BADS work tirelessly to put on a theatrical performance to both showcase the local talent in the community and to entertain the residents of Berrigan and beyond.
In its 90 years, BADS has generally hosted at least three performances each year to sell-out crowds.
''However, the show isn't just about the performances, four months of work go into each show with rehearsals, set building, organising props and costumes etc – often on very cold July nights,'' the nomination read.
''They put on a show for the local community which brings joy, hope and lots of laughter to all those who attend the performances.
''From fundraising to pay for the cost of the production to such roles as the director, cast, sound and light, ushers, waiters, kitchen staff, hair and makeup, costume designers and set builders – 100 per cent of BADS members volunteer their own time, effort and energy to ensure a successful production each year.''

As in the Blues in Bb (major blues), the minor blues makes liberal use of the blues scales and pentatonic scale. Also be sure to learn your arpeggios! It's all about having your arpeggios down and at your fingertips. I cannot stress this enough.

Provision of relapse prevention interventions in UK NHS Stop Smoking Services: a survey
1 UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies, Division of Epidemiology and Public Health, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK
2 UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies, Division of Primary Care, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK
3 Cancer Research UK Health Behaviour Research Centre, University College London, London, UK
BMC Health Services Research 2010, 10:214 doi:10.1186/1472-6963-10-214Published: 20 July 2010
UK NHS Stop Smoking Services provide cost effective smoking cessation interventions but, as yet, there has been no assessment of their provision of relapse prevention interventions.
Electronic questionnaire survey of 185 UK Stop Smoking Services Managers.
Ninety six Stop Smoking Service managers returned completed questionnaires (52% response rate). Of these, 58.3% (n = 56) ran NHS Stop Smoking Services which provided relapse prevention interventions for clients with the most commonly provided interventions being behavioural support: telephone (77%), group (73%), and individual (54%). Just under half (48%, n = 27) offered nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), 21.4% (n = 12) bupropion; 19.6% (n = 11) varenicline. Over 80% of those providing relapse prevention interventions do so for over six months. Nearly two thirds of all respondents thought it was likely that they would either continue to provide or commence provision of relapse prevention interventions in their services. Of the remaining respondents, 66.7% (n = 22) believed that the government focus on four-week quit rates, and 42.9% (14 services) believed that inadequate funding for provision of relapse prevention interventions, were major barriers to introducing these interventions into routine care.
Just over half of UK managers of NHS Stop Smoking Services who responded to the questionnaire reported that, in their services, relapse prevention interventions were currently provided for clients, despite, at that time, there being a weak evidence base for their effectiveness. The most commonly provided relapse prevention interventions were those for which there was least evidence. If these interventions are found to be effective, barriers would need to be removed before they would become part of routine care.

But, in spite of the long century of repression that followed – a time when Siberia was known as the "Polish Golgotha" – the Poles' chivalric spirit and love of their homeland survived. In the 1920s, shortly after the victory of the newly independent Republic of Poland over Lenin's expansionist Soviet Union, G.K. Chesterton himself travelled to the country.

As he does so, he will also encourage the reader to develop a phronema for the proper enjoyment of wine: not as a mere sensory thrill, but as a gateway to contemplation of the sublime.]]> 1 Clarion Editors http://www.clarionreview.org/?p=1996 2015-02-03T23:03:04Z 2014-12-05T06:59:14Z Jonathan D.

Saint Mary's Abbey is the first monastery of Cistercian Nuns in the United States. Located in scenic New England in southern Massachusetts close to the Rhode Island border the Abbey is easily acessible from Boston or Providence. The sisters come from all parts of the United States and from several other countries.
The first sisters arrived in 1949 from St. Mary's Abbey (Glencairn, Ireland).The community grew rapidly and in 1964 the first foundation was made in Dubuque, Iowa. Our Lady of the Mississippi was followed by Santa Rita Abbey , Sonoita, Arizona in 1972 and Our Lady of the Angels, Crozet, Virginia in 1987.Today that first generation is passing into the mature years, the golden years that crown a lifetime of fidelity. At present there are 44 sisters at Wrentham.
This morning at chapter Hailey received the Cistercian novice habit and became Sister Emet. As of June 26 there are 15 photos at our flickr site.

ChiroTouch to Present "Keeping Compliant in 2013 with PQRS/ARRA Stimulus" Webinar
Press Release
Written by Robert Moberg

Read : 890 times
San Diego, CA – March 1st, 2013 – ChiroTouch™, the nation's leader in chiropractic software, is pleased to announce "Keeping Compliant in 2013 with PQRS/ARRA Stimulus" webinar, which is scheduled to air live for one hour on March 5th, 2013, at 10:00am PST.
"We get so many questions from doctors across the country about the stimulus program," said Robert Moberg, President of ChiroTouch. "Our latest webinar will answer many of these questions and ultimately help chiropractors navigate the program, ensure compliance, and maximize reimbursement."
Learn the in's and out's of PQRS (Physician Quality Reporting System) and what it means to your practice. Learn how to use the meaningful use quality measures data to take advantage of the PQRS Incentive Program that offers payments of 0.5 percent during 2012–2014 and avoid penalties in subsequent years.
* Have you already gone through your first attestation period in 2011 or 2012?
* Are you seeing Medicare patients but are not planning to participate in the stimulus?
* Are you aware of PQRS (Physician Quality Reporting System) and how to keep compliant in 2013?
If you are a Medicare provider, this is a must-watch! You could still be eligible for up to $39,000 in reimbursements if you act by 2013! Fabio Checchin, account coordinator with ChiroTouch, will be giving an update on the ARRA Stimulus with the current timelines and how it affects you and your practice.
Dr. Bryan Weissman, southeast regional sales consultant with ChiroTouch, will also be demonstrating how to implement PQRS within ChiroTouch.
Chiropractic software designed from the ground up to maximize efficiencies for virtually every process, including patient self check-in, scheduling, SOAP notes, billing, interoffice communication and more, ChiroTouch has developed its HIPAA-compliant system to drastically reduce the time it takes to perform tasks that chiropractors are already doing. That gives chiropractors more time to see more patients—resulting in increased referrals, improved efficiencies, and a direct, measurable impact on practice profitability.
Other recent webinar topics include "Art of the Close," "Building Value in Your Practice and Equity in Your Business," and "HITECH Stimulus Act Updates." The ChiroTouch webinar programs and the attendees have benefited from speakers such as Dr. Patrick Gentempo, Dr. Bob Hoffman, Dr. Eric Plasker, Dr. Ron Oberstein, Dr. Mark Ott, Stanley Greenfield, and many more. This cross-section of the most influential and recognized coaches and speakers has made for a very robust and popular series of webinars.

Lord Hill park: Wander forest without going far

Mushrooms grow at Lord Hill Regional Park.
If you haven't, you really should. It's a charming park -- great for hiking, running, biking or horseback riding.
I was desperate for a hike recently, but didn't have time to go far, so I visited Lord Hill near Snohomish with a friend and my 3-year-old.
The leaves are still bright in many places. And, like pretty much everywhere this year, mushrooms are flourishing. Keep your eyes open and you'll see thousands.
The park is 1,463 acres with six miles of designated trails, according to the county website. I suspect a little exploring would reveal smaller, unofficial trails.The forest is a combination of evergreen and deciduous trees.
The trails are a mixture of wide enough for several people to walk together to narrower single-file paths.

The park's website is here. This PDF of the park map is handy.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! - Dr. Seuss
Common Sense Media says
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a digital version of the classic Dr. Seuss children's book, whose message teaches children that the true meaning of Christmas is found in peoples' hearts rather than in material trappings. The Grinch tries to stop Christmas by stealing all of the Whos' presents and decorations, but after the Whos begin to sing joyfully on Christmas morning anyway, the Grinch has an epiphany, returns the gifts, and joins in the celebration.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
Is it any good?
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! offers many fun ways for kids to interact with the story digitally, but it's not the strongest Dr. Seuss app in the library. The male narrator's British accent is questionable, and the illustrations don't always change with each page turn, which affects the story's pacing. It's still a great app with a lot to offer, including the original illustrations from the book.

Image: Slashgear's Liveblog Well, that was a fun Macworld, and the ultra-thing Macbook Air appears to actually exist. Thanks to everyone who chatted with us in #bbg. I hope you enjoyed the updates about my dogs affinity for celery, if Steve Jobs' sweater was cashmere or simply a giant black tattoo covering his naked flesh, and Lovemoose's mid-show announcement that his wife just told him he was having a baby. We have decided (for him) that it should be named Steve. Especially if it's a girl. First Macbook Air thought: No Firewire is a bummer, if understandable. It means if I move to an Air for my mobile laptop I'm going to have to ditch my Canon HV20 camcorder for something that copies over USB, like a Sanyo Xacti.
Macbook Air is Real
• Discuss this post in our forums
34 Responses to "Macbook Air is Real"
I still can't decide whether I'm more excited about the macbook air, or my forthcoming fatherhood.
It'll take a while to talk Mrs Moose around on the whole "Steve" thing…
Congrats, Lovemoose! It was a cute moment =]
second air bummer: integrated battery.
I used to always carry 2 batteries… stopped when I bought a macbook, and have been mostly ok. But batteries due degrade, and I tend to replace most after 2 yrs. I will be curious to see how apple handles this.
Also – no mention of RAM upgrades… Locked into 2gb?
Still want one…
I will be the first to admit that Apple's industrial design team is top notch, and this is, as is usual, sexy and pretty and makes me want to touch it, but…
$1800 for what is essentially an email/web appliance? I think they missed the mark on this one.
IMHO, the point of an ultra-portable is not performance (past a certain mark of 'usable'), but PRICE/performance/size. I would happily shell out $500 for a light, thin, but slow(er) 12″ notebook that let me reasonably read my email, surf and play videoclips on the road. I might spend $1000 if it was just that cool. But, $1800 is as much money as I could spend on a machine not TOO much larger with MUCH better performance, optical drive, etc. If I'm gonna shell out that kind of scratch, it needs to be MORE than a web appliance.
I'm not sure if this is.
And yes, the integrated battery/RAM is cause for concern.
I think you want the iPod touch with the new software upgrade.
$20 for a software upgrade for the iPod touch? That's crazy.
Yeah, the lack of a replaceable battery is a pain in the ass. I don't feel the price is horribly out of whack for a high-end sub-notebook, but it's definitely a more disposable laptop that we've seen before. 2GB of RAM should be fine for most through the life of the laptop.

I'm not sure how you can call this a web appliance. The only thing it isn't is a high end games/graphics machine. I have trouble imagining what business/professional software would not run happily on it. So, music/movie playback. Internet connectivity (and all that implies) lots of power for word processing/powerpoint/spreadsheets. My father does professional aptitude testing and travels quite a bit. I can't think of any of his software this would not run just fine.
Now, I'd never get this. I do a degree of graphics work and am quite happy on my MacBook Pro. That said, the only segments of the market that I can imagine not being happy with the hardware capability are positions that inherently use all capacity available. Video production, high end graphics, large scale application development, large physics/engineering simulations. Now, as I figure, that makes up a really small portion of the people who work on the move.
Sultine Here –
#bbg was fun…we should do it again sometime.
As for the Macbook Air, 'tis not for me, however I will be recommending the purchase of one ASAP for a friend. I was really hoping for a quad macbook pro 17 with OLED display. I move from desk to desk and nothing more.
On a cool new shit scale though…the air rocks.
I was really hoping for a quad macbook pro 17 with OLED display. I move from desk to desk and nothing more.
Ditto on that. I need to upgrade. I really was hoping for some incremental improvements on the MBP, like an LED backlit LCD, faster processor, muti touch trackpad, reduced price and increased battery life. I guess they put the whole laptop engineering team on the Macbook Air. On the other hand, Apple has sprung updates on us a few weeks after Macworld–probably unlikely this year, though.
A cute itsy bitsy laptop with no firewire may be good for Joel but I need a desktop replacement with a huge screen, a fast GPU and Firewire and SATA–and with current laptops every hour you use the florescent backlight is another hour closer to death for your laptop screen. LEDs aren't just brighter and lower power consumption they are longer lived.
Skep – I meant LED…not OLED…although that would be really great. But your are correct, it is more of a press release update than a Keynote announcement.
As for the GPU on Air, it is shame it is not a nVidia chip. Intel GPU just does not cut it.
90% of people who buy notebooks have no clue on how to upgrade hardware or even the battery, hence most notebooks are already disposable appliances. For the casual notebook user Ethernet is unecessary. It's got a large Li+ battery for its size, which means that even after 500+ full cycles it will still offer 4 hours of use at 80% capacity. It was likely a design decision to overengineer the battery size and give it a longer operating life vs. a removable battery.
As nifty as it is, I worry that it'll have a hard time finding a market. The base model's pricey enough.. but good lord, the 1.8GHz model is over $3k. It's the most expensive notebook computer Apple offers — it's pricier than the 17″ MacBook Pro, even. And for that price you're getting only a 64GB hard drive (granted, it's flash memory).
Seems like this is new ground for Apple and the price reflects it.

Battery – They are quoting 5 hours wireless productivity…so maybe more with wifi off. Plenty for a cross-country flight. I always have a second battery but rarely do I use it unless I am burning discs.
Price – Compared to UMPCs, Regular Macbook, or import from Dynamism the price is great. Sure $999 would have been great, but this thing is the thickness of an iPhone (mas y menos.)
RAM – 2GB is enough for the kind of work you would be doing on a 13.3in screen! However, no one has mentioned that 150 megs is shared for video RAM. I doubt that is 2GB + 144MB for the video RAM.
The interesting question is what will the battery life be two years from now?
Disposables are so 20th century.
Honestly, if the laptop is still doing everything you ask of it two or three years down the road, paying for a new battery plus the $40 to get it installed would make this a fantastic purchase no matter how you look at it.
No built-in ethernet sucketh.
MacBook Air has shed something you no longer need: the optical drive. That's because MacBook Air is built for the wireless world. So instead of watching DVDs, you can rent movies wirelessly from the iTunes Store.
GOBO the $3000 pricetag includes a 64 GB Solid State Drive, which is a $999 upgrade on its own.
I can't understand why people want an SSD personally. I mean, I know it's fast, and it might be lower power, and it's definitely got the NEEEEEET!!!!! factor, but $999 is a lot of money.
The processor upgrade from 1.6 to 1.8 is $300.
And, just to be thorough: the Ethernet dongle is $29, the modem dongle is $49, and the external SuperDrive DVD is $99.
A great laptop…for Paris Hilton.
Other comments have said it above, but the price is way off for this product. I was really hoping that they would introduce this <$1000 – being nearly double seems to me entirely incorrect for where they should be positioning this item.
I was very happy to see Joel's essay on the (long overdue) future of the sub-compact status in North America. He is bang on on all his points, particularly the input needs (i.e. keyboards) – but price and available ought to be top priorities as well. Certainly the trend with the XO, Asus EEE and others are banking on wide adoption over per unit profit, and its a shame that Apple go this router also. Their cache for a premium brand may be the weak point for this new, desirable, product.

Apple only went halfway on this. Their point was to make it as small as possible, so they should have ditched the keyboard and touch pad in addition to the optical drive.
The AIR looks cool to a point, but it is not revolutionary. A screen with internal motherboard, wireless functionality, a processor, RAM, etc. and nothing but ports on the outside with a weight of approximately 1 pound…that would have been revolutionary.
I mean…if customers are happy to plug in a CD or DVD drive into an $1800 computer that lacks such a convenience in favor of a weight advantage, those same customers should be just as happy to plug in a keyboard and a mouse (or peripheral touch pad).
A large version of the iPhone interface could be incorporated into the screen itself, so you could use it with no keyboard attached at all.
Still no right click?
If it does everything it says it does, it is a pioneering piece of engineering.
Again, Apple for goes against the mainstream and creates something that is completely wireless. As can be expected, the tech curmudgeons, (which is such an oxymoron) sit there and whine like babies because Apple's cutting the cables from their machines. I can't wait till Apple (cause it will be Apple) figures out a way to charge a notebook cpu via a wireless connection.
Apple has always pushed innovation. The first Powerbooks if you recall, didn't even have CD burners, they were external. Most of the people who are criticizing the Air, if given the choice, would build some ugly, cave man like, heavy as shit brick of a cpu. Just like the Simpsons episode, where Homer's brother let's him build the car that every working man would want. He builds that abomination of a car, with tons of cupholders n stuff. Ethernet port….oh you mean extra cupholders.
This computer is a brave step into a world, every computer maker has flirted with , but as usual, has been too chicken to enter. This notebook is totally wireless. Apple committed to something and did it. You watch as people begin to use it, they will fall in love. 3lbs, of sexy ass aluminum, something like a thick clipboard. Oh my God!
For anyone that has a notebook, you know: battery life is garbage. My Powerbook, which has been really, my best (worst) friend for the last 5 years, NEVER had a battery life. I really don't get that, BUT that being said, just like the guy who wrote this review, his battery doesn't even get the life it's suppose to (btw did you charge it overnight the first day you brought it out of the box, did you ever let the battery burn away all the way until it was way out of battery life, both good ways to end the life of any kind of battery) SO IF THE AIR's battery sucks, so what, so does the one in your existing laptop, but you still own it? Why?
Also, about the optical drives, anyone who does any serious burning, or ripping knows, that internal drives in notebooks, are no match for external Lacie type super drives, which is what I use, I only use my optical drive when I'm away from home, and want to rip a cd. I don't watch movies on my laptop unless it's a bootleg DVD that won't play on my DVD player because it's old. Big whoop.
REMOTE DISK:: first of all, I'll believe it when I see it, like 100 times. BUT if you can rip disks from other computers, that's friggin, frigggin INSANE! Hypothetically, if the software is available per your scenario, ANY cpu with an optical drive, your friends, the one at the Library or that internet cafe etc., has an optical drive that you can use to rip anything. Boom. Your welcome Stockholm! Wanna watch a movie?
APPLE JUST MADE IT SO YOU CAN….WIRELESSLY, you don't need an optical drive. LISTEN TO YOURSELVES. You don't want to carry a TINY external drive to watch your movies on, BUT YOU'LL CARRY DVD'S? Probably in a case, THATS THE SAME SIZE AS THE EXTERNAL DRIVE…on your trip!! This is what's really hitting home for me, it made perfect sense to me. When I saw the Air and it's features. I'm a road warrior. Email, Internet, Design,travel all over the city by day. Profesional DJ by night. The AIR is PERFECT FOR ME!! So I get it. BUT this really is a revolutionary concept. Everyone on here that's whining about why the Air isn't up to there standards doesn't get it. "No internal drive is a deal breaker, how am I gonna watch my DVD's when I travel?" Wow, YOU ARE A DOPE. Before you leave on your trip, log onto iTunes, grab a few selections, and take them with you, ON YOUR HARD DRIVE – DIGITALLY. Didn't get to see'em on your trip, too busy, when you get home, play it on your TV.
ALSO:: ie. WARNER BROS-BLU HARVEST DVD includes a FREE digital copy of the movie, READY TO BE TRANSFERED OVER TO YOUR LAPTOP,iPOD, iPhone……are you getting it now….is it becoming clear….the way you computed, those are the good old days grandpa!
The Air's feature set is contingent on everything Apple rolled out today. Remote Disk still blows my mind. And ethernet dongle. Would someone bash that guy in the head, please. Wi-Fi. That means, you don't need an ethernet cable. Oh, I'm sorry, I guess, you would prefer to carry around a rolled up ethernet cable in your bag. Really, your crazy.
The Solid State memory. WOW. Why would Apple compete with the Asus. If that's what you want, you buy that. It runs Linux, well I'm told. I don't want that. I want my Powerbook, at half the weight, more power, a better keyboard, ( just one option key on my Powerbook drives me insane) thin and ULTRA portable, which the Air IS! My Powerbook is a bitch to carry when I'm hopping around the city, in and out of my car. 3lbs, sounds just right. It's so small, it will be a breeze to transport.
I'm hoping it doesn't heat up too much. That's always a drag with my Powerbook.
Really, everyone that's on here complaining about these things, is proving something here. Apple is really ahead of the curve. DAMN I wish I'd kept my Apple stock. S O B!!!
I'm sorry about my rant. But the dopes asked for it.
I'm amazed that the dopes asked for a rambling incoherent rant filled with strong convictions based upon conjecture and hearsay. It's odd that they would want such a thing. Must be what makes them dopes.
Some of the most entertaining debates are based around rants, you dope. But kudos for incorporating the word hearsay into a counter point. You rock. Are you over 40?
Recker, it is fanboy rants like yours that give Apple users the reputation for being … well, fanboys – a convenient description that avoids less civilised but probably more accurate labels.
I'm not going to argue with your rant , I'll just let you go ahead and buy this very expensive door wedge. Some people have more money than sense, and it is to those that Apple has been targetting its products lately. Hey geeks, foget DVD , you can rent hollywood crap from the iTunes store!
I get a wry smile on my face thinking of those suckers who, having just spent a load of dosh for an underpowered laptop ( but it looks so cool deosn't it) , forget the Ethernet – USB adapter somewhere and cannot go online because that wi-fi netowrk is just out of reach… And , no they can't run down to the shop and rent a DVD for the night either, all they can do is sit there and look at that sexy laptop… Hot air!
I reckon this laptop is going to flop…too expensive for what it is, a disposable and slow machine. Should have been polycarbonate and half the price.
By the time its oh-so progressive features are useable by most people it will be obsolete and in need of battery replacement.
If i had the spare cash, i'd spend in on a AudioModbook instead, without hesitation.
"Hot Air" is definitely what people should say to Mr Jobs.
Also – no mention of RAM upgrades… Locked into 2gb?
Seriously, what sadist at Apple was first responsible for the years of a 2GB memory ceiling, and now this!
Attention Apple logicboard designers: The OSX department writes software that consumes memory in copious quantities. In laptops, 4GB should be the minimum and a ceiling could be closer to 16GB. That is all.
2GB of RAM should be fine for most through the life of the laptop.
WRONG! 2GB has not been acceptable for at least a year now. 2GB is the minimum for even doing a little multi-tasking (e.g. web, email, IM, iTunes). Nevermind maybe you need to write a document, and some slides, and make some images in Photoshop for your slides, for a presentation you're giving after traveling by airplane.
What's In the Box: Install/restore DVDs. Cute.
Indeed. How long until Apple sells OSX installs on bootable USB flash drives?
Speaking of booting via USB, will the sans-Firewire MacBook Air still support Target Disk Mode via USB using the EFI bootcode?
2GB is enough for the kind of work you would be doing on a 13.3in screen!
Obviously you do not browse the web using tabs. Fire up a workflow with a few scores of tabs and the memory allocation will easily balloon to about 10GB in size… which will feel tragic with virtual memory paged to a 4200rpm 1.8″ hard drive.
Having a non-user serviceable battery is NOT a problem at all when you take 2 seconds to think about it. I have had my Powerbook G4 for 5 years and the battery hardly lasts 20 minutes on a full charge. Have I replaced it? Do I want to replace it? The answer is NO — because I'm going to be replacing the whole computer soon enough, and purchasing the battery for my particular model is quite a feat in itself as the stores here no longer have the model in stock; the battery has to be ordered and shipped from overseas; and it even costs more than a new unit's battery!
So no — I'm not getting a new battery.
If you're not like me though, and you're more like my dad who would rather upgrade a computer in 7-10 years rather than 3-5, you still wouldn't have a problem:
The macbook air's battery can be replaced by an Authorised Apple Service Centre. How many idiots have I seen going to one just to get their user-serviceable battery replaced? Many. It's no different than having the battery built-in. Either way, even if you can replace the battery yourself, you would have to buy that battery at an (guess what?) — Apple Store (or any authorised dealer). So you'll be making that trip to the shop nonetheless.
Now the ONLY thing that a user replaceable battery offers is the ability to swap it out so you can run the book on AC. By doing so you just might prolong the battery's life. I tried this with my Powerbook but too many times have I carelessly unplugged the power before realising the battery wasn't there. So I decided to NOT do this.
(Not spam!)
I thought I might come back and finish off the story.. It was a girl, Olivia Ruth was born on Friday Night.
I really couldn't call her Steve in the end. Sorry Joel!

Statement by the OPCW on Syria
In response to questions on developments in Syria the OPCW spokesperson issued the following statement:
The OPCW continues to monitor reports on current developments in Syria with regard to concerns about chemical weapons. The Director-General agrees with the recent statement made on behalf of the U.N. Secretary-General.
The use or threat of use of chemical weapons is unacceptable. As a party to the 1925 Geneva Protocol, Syria is obligated by international law not to use chemical weapons under any circumstances. The Syrian Government must also ensure the safety and security of any stocks of chemical weapons it may possess.
The OPCW has made numerous overtures over the years to Syria to join the Chemical Weapons Convention, without any official response to date. In November, together with the UN Secretary-General, the Director-General sent joint communications to the heads of State or Government of the eight remaining States not Party, including Syria, urging them to join the Convention "without delay".
For further information, please contact Peter Sawczak, Acting Head, OPCW Media & Public Affairs. Tel: + 31 (0) 70 416 3725 or +31 (0)(0) 6 4681 2954 or email@example.com | ORGANISATION FOR THE PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS, Johan de Wittlaan 32, 2517 JR The Hague, The Netherlands

World Bulletin/News Desk
The Senate unanimously passed a bill on Saturday that would shield U.S. airlines from paying for their carbon emissions on European flights, pressuring the European Union to back down from applying its emissions law to foreign carriers.
The European Commission has been enforcing its law since January to make all airlines take part in its Emissions Trading Scheme to combat global warming, prompting threats of a trade fight.
The Senate approved the bill shortly after midnight, as it scrambled to complete business to recess ahead of the Nov. 6 congressional and presidential elections.
Republican Senator John Thune, a sponsor of the measure, said it sent a "strong message" to the EU that it cannot impose taxes on the United States.
"The Senate's action today will help ensure that U.S. air carriers and passengers will not be paying down European debt through this illegal tax and can instead be investing in creating jobs and stimulating our own economy," Thune said in a statement.
The House of Representatives has passed a similar measure, and could either work out differences with the Senate's version or accept the Senate bill when Congress returns for a post-election session.
So far, nearly all airlines have complied reluctantly with the EU law, but Chinese and Indian carriers missed an interim deadline to submit information required under it.
China earlier this year threatened retaliation - including impounding European aircraft - if the EU punishes Chinese airlines for not complying with its emissions trading scheme.
The dispute between China and the EU froze Airbus purchase deals worth up to $14 billion, though China signed an agreement with Germany for 50 Airbus planes worth over $4 billion during Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit to Beijing last month.
The Senate bill gives the U.S. transportation secretary authority to stop U.S. airlines from complying with the EU law.
But new amendments agreed to during negotiations among lawmakers said the secretary could only do so if the EU trading scheme is amended, an international alternative is agreed to, or the United States implements its own program to address aviation emissions.
This increases pressure on the U.N. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to devise a global alternative to the EU law.
Connie Hedegaard, the European Climate Commissioner, said on Saturday that while the bill encourages the United States to work within the U.N. organization for a global deal on aviation emissions, she is skeptical that Washington will accept such a deal.
"It's not enough to say you want it, you have to work hard to get it done," she told Reuters on Saturday. "That means that the U.S. needs to change its approach in ICAO and show willingness to actually seal a meaningful global deal that will facilitate action."
Annie Petsonk, a lawyer for the Environmental Defense Fund, said the bill will put pressure on the U.N. body, which has been working on a global framework for years.
"Passage of the Thune bill amps up the pressure on ICAO to move swiftly to reach a global agreement on addressing aviation's global warming pollution," she said.

I like the idea of butter in a quick bread, but experience has shown me that you compromise some moistness. Breads made with oil are simply a lot more moist. I used half white and half brown su...

Loved this recipe. I did use brown sugar instead of white and shredded my apples instead of chopping. It turned out simply lovely. Thanks for the recipe!

HUNTLEIGH -- The parents of Adrienne Martin won a role in a wrongful-death lawsuit against August Busch IV when the Missouri Supreme Court refused Tuesday to hear the former beer baron's request for reconsideration.
Martin died of a drug overdose Dec. 19, 2010, in Busch's mansion in Huntleigh. Busch later struck a tentative settlement in court in Cape Girardeau with Martin's ex-husband, Dr. Kevin Martin, in a wrongful-death suit brought on behalf of the couple's 9-year-old son.
When Christine Trampler, of Ozark, Mo., and George "Larry" Eby, of Springfield, Mo., sought to join the case as Martin's parents, the trial court barred them. But an appellate court reversed that, finding that they had "an absolute right to join" the case.
Busch sought an opinion from the Missouri Supreme Court, but it formally declined Tuesday.
The result gives the parents greater control over legal strategy and the decision of whether to accept the $1.5 million settlement offer. It also will make them privy to legal discovery surrounding Martin's death and enable them to subpoena witnesses.
The case returns to court in Cape Girardeau, where Martin's son lived with his father when the suit was filed last year. Both of Martin's parents will be added as plaintiffs.
John Heisserer, the attorney representing Kevin Martin, will ask Circuit Judge William Syler, who had initially blocked the parents from joining, to finalize the $1.5 million settlement. If he does, he could allocate some of the money to them.
Maurice Graham, a lawyer representing Busch, said he would proceed with the case as before.
Authorities said Adrienne Martin died of an accidental overdose of the painkiller oxycodone, and had a high level of cocaine in her blood. A hole in her nasal septum indicated 'several months to a year of cocaine use," they said.
Busch, 47, took over as chief executive officer of Anheuser-Busch in 2006, but his tenure ended with the brewery's sale to InBev in 2008.
