Dave ==================== http://www.callahantech.com/firestarter.htm A Firestarter event is a deep dive, Launch event intended to give attendees an overview of what is new with Server 2008 R2. This event will be primarily focused on demonstrating key features in the hopes that, once you see how it's done, it will be easier for you to adopt and implement these features yourself. Thus making this upgrade well worth the investment. Demonstrations include: WS08 R2 Overview Reducing Operational Cost using Active Directory Recycle Bin. Reducing Operational Cost using Power Management in Windows Server 2008 R2 Reducing the Cost and Complexity of Management using Best Practice Analyzers Simplifying Management using Active Directory Administrative Center Simplifying Management using Server Manager Remoting Simplifying Management with PowerShell V2 and Remoting Simplifying Management of Images using Boot from VHD Space is somewhat limited, so please register as soon as possible to be certain you get a seat.

Louis was the key grassroots community support person for the computer recycling program we hosted in Ambridge at the The Center For Hope / Fellowship United Methodist Church. Thanks to his endless energy, personal relationships with families and businesses and churches in the Beaver Valley, loving devotion to his family and friends, deep faith in God, consistent outreach to teens in need, craftsmanship in fixing everything he saw broken, and most of all his GREAT sense of humor ..... he was a icon and role model and a rock for many people in Aliquippa and Ambridge. Everybody knows Louis Hill ! And with his tireless help on the streets meeting people, shaking hands, and telling them about our program, we went from a volume of 71 computers in our Butler operations to more than 600 computers distributed to needy families while at The Center For Hope in Ambridge spanning 2004-2007. I will personally miss this wonderful man, his laughter, and grand spirit that could fill a room. Here is Louis Hill in a photo taken 12-28-2004 at Steelers Headquarters on the South Side of Pittsburgh where he won a $10,000 award for his outstanding community service.

Donaldson) Date: Fri, 04 Dec 2009 20:26:42 -0500 Subject: [NPMUG] Goodwill CRC update, December 4, 2009 Message-ID: <8E527B26-FA67-4B92-878D-52EEAB415286@mac.com> Dear Mac friends: Many thanks to Charlie Hutchens, Rich Fitzgibbon, Tucker Trainor and Dave Sevick for joining me at the Goodwill Computer Recycling Center today. Today was our last work day in 2009 at the Goodwill Computer Recycling Center. Today we refurbished 16 Macs to bring our all-time total to 2,289. We de-manufactured 13 more Macs and three Apple monitors in addition to re-imaging one G4 eMac (a sweet 1.42 ghz model) from a store return. As we get into our annual report for 2009 in the coming days, we'll regale you with the myriad of statistics of what we've done in this year. If we've done our FileMaker homework, our database will do all the counting for us. We hope... The new year will bring us yet a new location for us to refurbish Macs, our sixth if you count Dave Sevick's garage. We'll be moving to Goodwill's new proposed location on 51st St. in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood sometime late in the first half of next year. Our next scheduled workday is Friday, January 8, 2010. The construction on Carson St. at the Goodwill building is complete. The Carson St. sidewalk in front of the ComputerWorks store is open again, and the front entrance is again usable. All that's left is the installation of parking meters along Carson St. It's been a richly rewarding year for those of us who've had the pleasure of sharing each other's company at the CRC. We can only wish all of you experience those feelings yourself in this holiday season. We hope to see you next year... Robert A.

There were low bandwidth caps; QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Windows Media were the formats of choice; and finding good video was a challenge. Then YouTube came along in early 2005 and changed all that. By Anders Bylund | Last updated December 6, 2009 11:30 PM You might feel like access to online video clips is one of those "inalienable rights" you hear so much about. The Internet of 2009 is awash in video content, from your favorite Seinfeld episodes to homemade videos of cats playing the piano?and everything in between. And you can get the material you're looking for from a plethora of sources. And I really do mean plethora in the most literal of senses, where it translates into surfeit, excess, andoverabundance. If you want to share a clip with the world, you can go to YouTube or MySpace TV, DailyMotion or Metacafe, Vimeo or Truveo?and the list goes on and on. Video hosting is now a very mature field with lots of consumer choice and its own set of conventions and traditions. < clip > http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/guides/2009/12/how-youtube-changed-everything.ars/1 for the full story -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To see a family torn and in crisis. Sunday morning, Bob Schieffer of CBS spoke about Latrobe, PA athlete and hero Arnold Palmer and some advice he had for 21 y/o Tiger Woods after the US Open win that year.

JOIN US !!! Message-ID: Jan 25-29 ( M-F ), 2010 there will be a comprehensive rehab of a local home led by the good folks at Hosanna Industries. http://www.hosannaindustries.org/ Many skilled and non-skilled people will be needed to get the job done quickly. We'll meet at Hosanna Industries' campus in Rochester, PA at 9AM each day and carpool to the site. The site will be announced soon. We'll finish a day's work around 3 - 4 PM and depart the worksite to get you back to the Hosanna campus so you can head home. We need 10 people each day. You NEED NOT be there all five days ... maybe a day or two ( or five ! ) will be good ... whatever you can do. It is a great time and memorable experience. Come with a friend. You can work hard or take it slow and do whatever your health allows. You will not be given any tasks you cannot handle. Many times you'll bee needed to simply sweep floors or pick up spare nails with a rolling magnet. Come as a joyful and open-minded giver of your time. All tools are provided by Hosanna. Mission workers from Hosanna will direct you and train you as needed. They are highly skilled and work with volunteers every day. You need not be a "church person" to do this ... this is community outreach at it's best ... organized by a group of highly trained mission workers/general contractors. As volunteers with a heart for giving your time, it is fully understood you are there not knowing what will need done next. You will work side by side with professional roofers, electricians, plumbers, dry-wallers etc ..... The mission workers of Hosanna and the professional contractors will call out for people .... "Hey, we need six people to carry ply wood ....." "Hey, we need 30 people to lift this wall ....." "Hey, we need 2 people who don't mind getting messy to mix drywall mud ..." "Hey, can we get 3 short people to crawl under the floor to staple insulation ..." "Can anyone gather up 5 brooms and bring them to the clean-up team to tidy up before lunch ...." Which brings me to a very important point .... A WARM LUNCH IS PROVIDED FREE OF COST .... A ministry called FEED THE FLOCK has a food service that follows Hosanna wherever they go and "feeds" everyone free of charge as their contribution. The plan for Jan 25 - 29 ( M-F ) is mild demolition, framing, painting, flooring ..... a little of everything. If you are interested, please call or email EMILY ED to talk more and get yourself registered if you have not worked with Hosanna before. They need to get about 10 volunteers booked for each day. You can be as young as 12 years old, as long as you are accompanied by an adult leader. Youth groups, scout troops, computer groups, college teams .... all join together. Emily will coordinate what days have been filled and get you processed with the correct health and insurance forms. This needs to done soon. Again, the mission workers are sensitive to what folks can and cannot handle. They do this year round. Please watch these two short videos that we have moved from DVD to YouTube. They tell the stories of Hosanna .... and will warm your heart.

Donaldson) Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:31:02 -0500 Subject: [NPMUG] Goodwill CRC annual report for 2009 Message-ID: Dear Mac friends: We've closed the books on our efforts for 2009 at the Goodwill Computer Recycling Center. Everyone even remotely involved needs a hearty thank you. We informally began this endeavor eight-years-or-so ago after a brief exchange before an NPMUG meeting at MacOutfitters in Cranberry. Len Thompson, then a teacher, told Bruce Wells, also then a teacher, about several Macs being put into a dumpster at the school district where they taught. "What was wrong with them?" someone asked. "Nothing. They just wanted to get rid of them," Len replied. Soon, the issue took over the meeting. It was soon asked, "Why can't we get these unwanted Macs, tune them up and give them to people who could use them?" Why not, indeed. We soon gathered in Dave Sevick's garage to fix the first handful of Macs (500 series and 5200 series). We gathered every month to pass out free Macs to food pantry clients at the Lighthouse in Middlesex Twp., Butler County. "A loaf of bread and a Macintosh" was a satisfying slogan. We were offered permanent space at the Center for Hope in Ambridge, where we learned you can't save everything. In addition to our then-monthly work days, we wired the place with over 80 ethernet jacks and four donated switches. We set up a Mac computer lab for the Center's use. We were fortunate to partner with Goodwill in March of 2007, and moved to their Computer Recycling Center in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood. We set up an efficient work flow that allowed us to image multiple Macs at the same time, thanks to Charles Firth's wizardry. We had about 2,000 square feet of work area. We began to gather once a week for workdays. When UPMC bought the building for a parking lot for the new Children's Hospital a year later, we relocated to our current space in Goodwill's headquarters on East Carson St. on Pittsburgh's South Side. Our work area shrank to about 450 square feet. We are now looking forward to another move in the coming months as Goodwill moves its entire operation to two, single-floor buildings just blocks from our former location in Lawrenceville. Here's what we've done this year: We refurbished 680 Macintoshes, and handled 1,960 miscellaneous items and accessories. These refurbished items have a total value of $107,048.99. All monies from the sale of our efforts through the ComputerWorks store go to Goodwill. This year, we began to handle de-manufacturing responsibilities for Macs. We've de-manufactured 964 Macs, monitors and accessories. We also began accounting for the weight of what we handle to conform to standard measurements of computer recycling and better help Goodwill keep track of what we do. Our refurbished product amount weighed 25,214.59 pounds. Our de-manufactured items weighed 14,542.25 pounds. That's just under 22 tons. We also began keeping track of computer and monitor serial numbers this year. For perspective, we refurbished 595 Macs in 2008, and 450 Macs in 2007. One thing remains from the beginning. We continue to distribute free Macs through referrals from people we've dealt with in the community over the years. You see, not every Mac we refurbish can be sold in Goodwill's ComputerWorks store. Some have case cracks, or scratched screens, or the sound or ethernet ports don't work. But they're otherwise functional, and of use to someone who just can't afford a computer. If there's a new computer in your holiday season, please remember Goodwill as a place for the old one. If it's a Mac, we'll do everything that's possible to give it more life. If it's, uh, the "other thing," Goodwill will responsibly de-manufacture and recycle the components at no cost to you. Please tell your friends. Have a happy holiday season, and thank you for your support. We'll have our first workday of 2010 on Friday, January 8. We hope to see you there.... Robert A.

The accommodations are located in the exclusive Four Seasons Residence Club, which is like a private hotel within a hotel. The guests will also have full access to the main Four Seasons Resort. In a spectacular desert setting, the location is close to many hiking trails, golf, the Grand Canyon, Sedona, and to the historic western cities of Scottsdale and Phoenix. The reserved date is from Sunday, October 3rd, 2010 to Sunday, October 10th (10/10/10!). If this date is not suitable, it can be changed for any available date in 2010. Last year, this week went to a bidder for only $1,000.00. This is a great opportunity because it is valued at $12,500. This is for a two bedroom casita. You can click here to see a photo gallery. In addition, we are also donating two weeks from Interval International. With Interval International, the possibility of international destinations are countless. These two weeks can be used as two separate weeks, two consecutive weeks or can be used concurrently. This is also for a two bedroom unit but it depends on the location selected and how their rooms are formatted. This is a great opportunity for families or a group of friends wanting to stay together. Booking is based on availability and must be used before November 29, 2011. This is a gold level exchange so there are no restriction on accommodation selection. The Four Seasons Resort Residence Club is one the destinations to consider. But why not try somewhere in the Caribbean or Europe? If you are interested, please submit an absentee bid to my email before 9 a.m. tommorow morning (Sunday,Dec 13th). I will bid on your behalf.

Message-ID: <225DE622-B729-45C2-B361-EA8AFBB7CD5D@davesevick.com> http://blogs.ft.com/techblog/2009/12/exclusive-apple-to-host-event-in-january/ Exclusive: Apple to host event in January December 23, 2009 8:18pmby David Gelles Apple has something big up its sleeve for next month. The company has rented a stage at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco for several days in late January, according to people familiar with the plans. Apple is expected to use the venue to make a major product announcement on Tuesday, January 26th. Both YBCA and Apple declined to comment. The company most recently used the YBCA stage in September, when chief executive Steve Jobs made his first public appearance after a medical leave and showed off new iPods. Speculation that Apple is preparing to introduce a new tablet style computer has been building all year, and other reports now suggest the tablet will make its debut in January. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster today speculated that an event was imminent. ?We believe there is a 75 per cent likelihood that Apple will have an event in January and a 50 per cent chance that it will be held to launch the Apple Tablet,? he wrote in a new research note. ?If Apple announced the Tablet in January, it would likely ship later in the March quarter.? It is still unclear exactly what an Apple tablet would include, but most observers expect a sort of large-scale iPhone that has additional features for viewing video and reading books and magazines. Yesterday we reported that Apple is working to solidify a new round of content deals with TV studios. Meanwhile, publishers have been working on new versions of digital magazines that would be viewed on touch screen computers. Apple has explored making tablet style devices for years, only to back off. The company also has a history of scrapping products very close to their scheduled launch dates. But momentum around the tablet has been building solidly. And Apple has refreshed its iPhone, iPod and computer lines within the last year, another indication that the January announcement will be for a new product. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Non-volatile memory startup Fusion-io says IBM (IBM) has licensed the company?s NAND flash technology, according to Electronics Weekly. The Salt Lake City-based company lists Apple (AAPL) co-founder Steve Wozniak as chief scientist, a role he apparently serves in an advisory capacity. IBM reportedly plans to used the technology in a solid-state storage appliance called IOPS Adapter which is targeted at reducing I/O bottlenecks in Big Blue?s System X server line. Investors in the company include New Enterprise Associates, Dell Ventures,Sumitomo Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Update: The news seems to be causing trouble for Fusion-io rival STEC (STEC), which today is down 55 cents, or 4.5%, to $11.56. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
