Difference between revisions of "Tarifa"
Revision as of 08:21, 5 April 2012
Tarifa is in the province of Cadiz in the Andalucia region of Spain. It is located on the southernmost point of the European continent, only 14 km from the coasts of North Africa.
Known throughout the world as a Mecca for Windsurfing this charming white Andalusian town has only been mildly spoiled by the mass touristic developments which have ravaged the coasts of most of Spain. Much of the surrounding coastline is still protected by Spanish law and a few kilometres to the west of the town are two of Spain's most beautiful beaches.
How to get to Tarifa
Bus station Algeciras, from where you can take the bus to Tarifa direction Cadiz or a taxi. The nearest airports are, Malaga 1,5 hour drive, Gibraltar, at 35 minutes, Jerez de la Frontera at 1 hour drive and the aiport of Tangier, Morocco 1 hour (include crossing time with ferry) By car Madrid, Sevilla, Cadiz, Tarifa.
Tanger at 35 minutes from Tarifa with fast ferry.
From the port of tarifa leaves every hour a fast ferry of FRS to the port of Tangier, Morocco
Ferry tickets to Morocco, port information and Tanger accommodation [3]
In the neighborhood
Tarifa is situated between the best golfcourses of Europe, at the Atlantic side you find Dehesa Montenmedio and Benalup golf & country club. Both courses are set in a beautiful natural envoirement. At the Mediterranea side you find the only links course here in the south of Spain, Alcaidesa Golf club at San Roque and nearby the world famous Valedrrama Golf course in Sotogrande.
From the top of the rock of Gibraltar you have impressive views over and on the strait of Gibraltar, on clear days you can even see the African continent. The new port with shops, bars and restaurants is worth a visit.
To See in and from Tarifa
Hardly to describe the sensation, it`s like you breathe energy. One of those things you must experience.
Wide and white sand. The immense beach Los lances is world wide recognized as the best kite and windsurf beach of Europe.
Main entrance to the old town of Tarifa, part of the medieval wall, is the only gate that survived of the three existing gates to the old town. When you stand under the gate, have a look up... interesting architecture. Above the entrance is written: Very Noble, Very Loyal and Heroic city of Tarifa, Won from the moors Reigning Sancho IV el Bravo 21 september 1292. Opening times: 24 hours open.
Probably one of the best maintain medieval building in Spain, build in 960 by Abd ar-Rahman. From the tower you have beautiful 360 degrees views over Tarifa and the fascinating strait of Gibraltar. Can you imagine that your son is at the bottom of the tower captured and in the hands of the Moors who speak the following requirements; Andalucia or we kill your son! Without thinking Guzman takes his knife and throws it right in the heart of his son. The end of 800 year occupation. Whether it is true ... No one will ever know. Opening times: 10.30 - 14.00 / 17.00 - 20.00 (paid visits)
Right in the center. The Gothic church was built in the 16th century. The facade is rebuild in 1774 by La vega and stands in good relation with the original style. Opening times: The door of the church is always open.
Plaza de los Ocho Ranitas (eight frogs) Also called Plaza de Santa Maria. The main buildings are the La Alcazaba, neoclasic style.,the city hall of Tarifa and the local Library.
The road that leads to the island dividing the Mediterranea sea and the Atlantic ocean. Beautiful and inspirating views over the strait and to Africa (16.4 km), watch the surfers or fill the lungs with fresh sea air. The little castle is called Castillo Santa Catalina, build in 1929.
Roman ruines right on the beach. Remains of temples, baths, houses and a Roman theater, the most representative of a Roman city. A nice round of culture meanwhile enjoying magnificent views over the beach, the Atlantic ocean and the African continent.
The strait of Gibraltar to observe dolphins and enjoy the beautiful impressive views to both continents from the boat. Resident species can be seen all year include the Common dolphin, Striped dolphin, Bottlenose dolphin and Pilot Whale. Semi-resident species presence related to feed periods include the Killer whale - Orca (between July and September), Sperm whale (mostly between March and July). Migratory species cross the strait in their migratory routes include the Fin whale (mostly between May and July).
Tarifa before digital times was one of the most strategic points in the world and still is. The Strait of Gibraltar was this time guarded by large, heavy guns from various military batteries here on the coast of Tarifa. In those days the soldiers on duty had a lot of fun in Tarifa and their green uniforms were a nice contrast to the vibrant colors of the first windsurfers. Today these military batteries are overgrown with plants and trees, the walls decorated with graffiti, broken windows, roofs far from waterproof, sun playing with the shadow and a lot of mistery. The work noises have been replaced by silence (except the wind) but if you listen carefully they will tell you their story.
Activities to do
Tarifa an attractive and fantastic outdoor sports paradise travel destination.
Tarifa owes its fame to the windsurfing, the bay is ideal with fresh winds from the Atlantic, the so-called Poniente wind and the warm strong Levante wind from the Mediterranea. The place is fascinating to sail, the views are incredible and the conditions great. The most famous spot are, Valdevaqueros, Los Lances, Balneario, Playa chica and Bolonia. The windsurfschools are open all year around and offer the best and latest equipment. If you come with your own windsurf equipment, the hotels offer storage room and most of the villas has enough space. There are a few campsites right on the beach with all amenities.
For sure the best spot in Europe to practice kitesurfing, the mix of good winds, kilometers of perfect white sandy beaches and a full service of professional schools, instructors, night life and rental centers makes Tarifa special. Ideal for all kind of level sailors. There are restricted kite areas along the coast during the summer months.
An absolute mountain bike paradise hidden in the inland of Tarifa with many trails for all kind of levels where you can ride all year. Long up hills, challenging down hills, easy and rough trails, beautiful nature and incredible views over the Atlantic ocean and the strait of Gibraltar. Within easy reach of Tarifa there are many more trails to explore in the extensive nature reserve of Los Alcornocales.
A new sport in Tarifa. Paddling between two continents "The Strait of Gibraltar". Like Oscar Chalupsky (11 x time winner of the Molakai)said . Tarifa is probably the best downwind spot in the world.
Hotspot Balneario near the town.
Around the clear waters of the isla de las palomas
In both the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
Along the coast you will find many windsurfing schools.
With other travellers (www.hispalense.com) Special youth bilingual summer camps with
Transition of a fishing industry into a holiday industry.
Tarifa resident and personality Henk Post has taken the initiative to support the town hall with this historic step in the history of Tarifa... The transition of a fish industry into a full holiday destination. Tourism will be, and is, the only income for the habitants of Tarifa. Using social media like Facebook, he rallied together a group of friends and on Tuesday, 14th of February at eleven in the morning 2012, they met at the castle wall with buckets of white paint, rollers and paintbrushes. Their aim was to repaint the wall by the end of the day. All of the materials have been supplied by local business people,' explains Henk. 'This is a real local initiative. Too many people complain about their towns but it's too easy to complain. Now is the time to come with some solutions. That's what this initiative is about.' Before embarking on the project, Henk secured the support of Tarifa's new mayor Juan André Gil Garcia. Garcia's new administration recognises that the future of Tarifa lies in the success of its tourism industry and that's why he is giving his full support to the project.
Hotels, Hostals, Pension, Apartments, Villas with sea view and campsites right on the beach.
The campsites are outside the towm along the coast. During the summer months the city halls offers a free of use shuttle service.
[4] Situated in the centre of Tarifa, this comfortable cosy hostal offers all services you expect from an Hostal. Near the harbour and all facilities.

Doctor Who Disappearing TARDIS 2 Pack Pint Glass Set
Beverage magic
- Set of 2 color-changing pint glasses
- TARDIS turns bright blue with cold drinks
- 16 ounces, hand wash to preserve magic
Do you ever wonder about drinking aboard the TARDIS? It could be just us. But we were thinking that with all the jostling about and near-crash scenarios, it would probably not be good to be drinking anything out of a glass on board. Maybe they all drink from sippy cups when nobody's watching. Or magical non-spilling glasses.
This set of two pint glasses is sure to bring the magic to your next party (or quiet evening at home watching the BBC). Each pint glass features pale blue artwork of the TARDIS on one side and the Doctor Who logo on the other. Fill the glass with cold beer -- or custard! -- and the TARDIS will turn bright TARDIS blue. Don't forget to hand wash these glasses; magic and dishwashers don't mix.
Product Specifications
- Set of 2 color-changing TARDIS pint glasses
- At regular temperature, the TARDIS is pale blue
- When filled with cold beverage, the TARDIS is bright blue
- Capacity: 16 ounces
- Care: Hand wash only. If you put it in the dishwasher, it will melt the magical color-changing bits and then you will be very sad. Do not microwave either lest ye also feel deep sadness.

World's first Software Defined Baseband chip for LTE-Advanced
Cognovo in Cambridge has launched its Software Defined Baseband development chip for 3G, LTE and LTE-Advanced networks. The 45nm CDC160 is based on Cognovo's latest Modem Compute Engine core, the MCE160, and enables licensees to develop soft modems in all cellular and wireless standards up to and including LTE-Advanced.
The device is supplied in a system-level development platform providing support for rapid development, debug and validation, against reference test equipment such as the R&S series of communications testers, or integration with RF devices for field testing
"Creating a chip was the logical next step for us, allowing us to showcase the performance of our core IP, and at the same time providing a validation platform for our customers whilst their own chips are under development," said Dr Gordon Aspin, CEO at Cognovo. "The benefits of the soft modem approach are clear: the silicon came back around 5 weeks ago and we have already brought up a Cat4 LTE downlink. The device is dimensioned for future standards supporting in excess of 300 Mb/s. By using this device our customers can develop soft modems, ranging from 2G to beyond 4G, all on the same silicon."
Cognovo's soft modem approach uses a cluster of high performance Vector processors programmed in high level C code, together with a novel control and scheduling system. Because the generic hardware is configured by software alone, the hardware can be finalised before the software, and the same chips can be used in development and the final product. The CDC160 device can also be used to support development of other modem standards, such as LTE, 3G, or 802.111abg, n, af, ac etc.
Cognovo has instantiated its IP core in a baseband device to provide customers with a development vehicle and to prove the performance of the IP.
As the next generation 4G wireless broadband standard defined in 3GPP, LTE-Advanced is capable of supporting data rates in excess of 1Gb/s, or three times the performance of the 3.9G systems rolling out today. Developing new wireless modems in software directly on target silicon allows manufacturers to save cost and time, as well as de-risk the complex modem development process.

New Antenna Tuner Enables Small Antennas to Deliver High Speed Connections across Worldwide Frequency Bands
WiSpry in California has launched a single-chip tuner that sits in the RF signal chain between the antenna and the front-end module of a mobile phone and provides superior transmit and receive chain impedance optimization over the full 824 MHz – 2170 MHz Global mobile frequency range.
WiSpry's innovative digitally tunable capacitor technology enables a completely new type of RF matching component that combines excellent RF performance with versatile digital control of the capacitance values. The WS2018 can be quickly re-programmed to compensate for antenna source impedance changes due to the need to operate over different frequency bands as well as to compensate for antenna load changes that are caused by hand, head and other body effects.
The digitally programmable capacitive elements are controlled by the modem via a MIPI Alliance RFFE or SPI serial interface, and make the WS2018 compatible with all popular Smartphone chipsets and modems.
"Our new WS2018 antenna tuner combines the industry's best RF performance with the smallest form factor and the ability to tune any phase, any VSWR for 2G, 3G and LTE frequency bands," said Victor Steel, VP of Products of WiSpry. "Our latest offering enables smaller antennas to deliver the high quality reception performance that today's Smartphone users demand. We have also integrated the widely adopted MIPI RFFE interface, making this tuner plug-and-play compatible with all major Smartphone chipset vendors."
The ultra low power WS2018 can be driven by an existing single supply rail such as an LDO regulator output or directly from the battery supply. The charge pump, serial bus and driver circuits are all fully integrated on the same CMOS die as the MEMS capacitor elements, making the WS2018 a true single chip solution for antenna impedance matching.

Science-Fiction Collector was first published May 1936 by a 16-year-old Morris Scott Dollins of North St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A., who published 14 issues before handing over editorship to John V. Baltadonis of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. He kept publishing this title till 1941, with 17 more issues released. Under his editorship, it was a Comet Publication.
Morris Scott Dollens was one of the first editors to introduce varied-coloured hektographed Fanzine which baltadonis would perfect. According to SF historian Sam Moskowitz, "Science-Fiction Collector became the leading representative fan journal".
Contributors included Jack Erman, Larry Farsaci (The Golden Atom), Joe Gilbert, Robert Madle (Fantascience Digest), Jack Chapman Miske (Bizarre), MOROJO (Myrtle Douglas) (Voice of the Imagi-Nation), Sam Moskowitz (Helios), Mark Reinsberg, Oswald Train, Donald Wollheim (The Phantagraph), and T. Bruce Yerke (The Damn Thing).
Artwork was by John V. Baltadonis and Morris Scott Dollens.
John V. Baltadonis had previously published Fantasy Fiction Telegram with Robert Madle, Milton Rothman and Oswald Train, and Fantasy Fiction Pictorial with William H. Miller, Jr..

|B.S. Ricks Memorial Library
Front Entrance Off Main Street
Yazoo City, Mississippi
|Side View of Ricks Library
Corner Window
Looks out from Mississippi and Yazoo Collection Room
The Yazoo City library's history is a long and interesting one, beginning in 1838, according to its website, when it "was chartered by the Mississippi Legislature to provide public library service to Yazoo County." The current building, opened in 1901, was funded by Mrs. Fannie Ricks, a local philanthropist, who named the library in honor of her late husband, General B.S. Ricks. Located on North Main Street in Yazoo City, Mississippi, the home of country humorist, Jerry Clower, the fascinating and beautiful building was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1975.
According to the s nomination form, "the Ricks Memorial Library is a noteworthy example of the Beaux Arts Classicism fashionable at the beginning of the twentieth century. While the building is not large, the use of Edwardian proportion and classical ornament combine to give it a pronounced monumentality. Standing on a concrete foundation, the library is constructed of hydraulic pressed brick with terra-cotta trim and is covered by a tin roof. Its composition is dominated by a central, two-story pavilion.... Sheltering the entrance is a single-story, semi-circular portico of paired Tuscan columns of Indiana stone....Use of the semicircle, of which the portico is the most conspicuous example, also appears in the skillfully detailed arches above the windows and the door opening....Other details include panels placed in the.....areas beneath the windows, which are double hung with one-over-one glazing."
Exterior View of Curved Wall of Main Library
The building's exterior is beautiful and architecturally exceptional in design, and its portico and arched windows remind me of the long ago design of Moorish palaces. In addition to the library's rounded walls of numerous arched windows that allow natural light inside the library's main reading area, the unique building boasts a number of other outstanding features. One of these features is the elegant and gilded barrel-shaped ceiling inside the entranceway.
Inside Front Entrance to Ricks Memorial Library
Yazoo City, Mississippi
A closer look at the gilded ceiling of the library's grand entranceway. Each picture frame type square includes a blue and white cloud scene that gives the illusion of sky overhead.
My book signing inside this grand old building went very well. Several people who attended shared stories about growing up in Mississippi during the time of Tillman Branch's clubs in Holmes County nearby. And I left Yazoo City with some fond memories of my own -- of time spent with new readers of my book in this exquisite old building.

Tech TV personality Leo Laporte, most famously known as co-host of The Screen Savers, posted today on his personal blog that he has had it with his Xbox 360; he received his second "and final" red ring of death today. It's really sad that Microsoft made a major mistake and created a launch product that has suffered from so many technical malfunctions, causing people like Mr. Laporte to miss out on a ton of great future 360 games.
Hit the link to see the full quote from Leo Laporte where he mentions his move from the Xbox 360 to the Playstation 3.
We would now like a moment of silence in dedication to Mr. Leo Laporte's Xbox 360, which died from the terrible Red Ring of Death (RRoD) syndrome at 11:34 on Saturday - December 06, 2008. . . . . . . moment over, back to Gears of War 2.
So who's gonna try and spin this one? Bladestar? POG/MART?
C'mon..i know you want to..
lol sucks for him.Even when I got the intercooler for my 360 it still got RROD.Maybe the Jasper models will finally end this business
So does this mean he is throwing it out rather than sending it in for a free repair since its under the 3 year warranty? I mean what do people do with their RROD consoles if they are not going to validate their warranty...thats like saying your not going to use your power of free speech. Why wouldn't you use your 3 year warranty if it didn't cost you anything and doesn't cost anything to send in?
I just don't get it.
it sucks that his 360 rrod, and that he will miss on some good games, but this is the kinda stuff that makes me not get a 360. Not til i actually hear that microsoft fixes it, or its a cheap as hell and i dont care that it breaks, then ill get one.
and why he is going to miss future xbox 360 games? hellooo MR laporte, warranty anyone?? just send it and you will recive a newer console, so the big deal is?. Before anyone say it, if he bought a launch console from 2005 he said that he had a first RROD, so he got a new one from 2006 or 2007 and his warranty still good.

"Are you on an earner?" asked a former England captain of a current England player in the Lord's media centre this summer. The player was off-duty in the sense that he wasn't playing in the game but he was on-duty in the sense that he was wearing the badge of a sponsor doing some glad-handing with competition winners and generally doing what brand ambassadors in these uber-corporate times.
The question made me wince. Not because I have some puritanical objection to players endorsing brands to supplement their earnings. It was the casual cynicism that got me.
Of the many strands of awfulness that cricket's fortnight in the dock has exposed, the naked greed of the individuals involved is in many ways the most worrying and the hardest to police. It is a universal vice and manifests itself in many forms.
A few years ago friend of mine used to work on Manchester United's official club magazine. One of the leading players of the time returned my friends call regarding a pre-arranged interview. The player then insisted that my friend phoned him back again so that he didn't have to bear the cost of the call. This was a senior, very well-known Premier League footballer who would have been earning tens of thousands of pounds a week.
You can still be corrupt even if you've never thought of throwing a match. Agents can still be vile and dodgy even if they don't lean on their clients to bowl a pre-arranged no-ball.
Sportsmen of all kinds love a punt. Some have even been known to bet on themselves, perish the thought. Legal gambling doesn't stop it being a highly corruptible influence. "It matters more when there's money on it," was Skybet's advertising slogan for a while. Interpret the double, triple meanings as you see fit.
The ECB recently hooked with a betting partner to add to their portfolio of official endorsements. It feels like they're on potentially dodgy ground but then they know all about that. Regardless of what was later to become of Allen Stanford the biggest stain on Giles Clarke's chairmanship of ECB is the entire lack of acceptance that the Stanford episode in any way sold whatever remained of the game's soul. Once money becomes the sole point of the arrangement of sporting fixtures then the game is up.
It is the administrative greed that creates the fertile ground for corruption. It seems to be taken entirely for read these days by governing bodies that generating income is their primary or even only raison d'être.
And all the anti-corruption units in the world will not solve that fundamentally corrupt mindset.

As Prenda Hearing Nears, We Discover Allan Mooney Has No Clue That He's Listed As Representing Prenda Shell Companies
from the look-at-that dept
The key bit in this article is that the reporter tracked down Allan Mooney, who Paul Hansmeier admitted is a former client, and he apparently has no clue that his name is appearing on these documents suggesting he runs Guava LLC and MCGIP LLC.
Allan Mooney, a Minnesotan who has brokered the sale of Internet-based businesses, said he introduced his friend Paul Hansmeier to some contacts in the porn industry. But he denied knowing that he was listed as the "sole organizer" of MCGIP LLC, a plaintiff in at least 20 lawsuits filed by Steele Hansmeier or contract attorneys.Morgan Pietz has already filed the article with the court, even though Mooney is not among the list of folks asked to show up in court (though Alan Cooper is).
Mooney also has been listed in court filings — with his name misspelled — as an agent for an entity called Guava LLC, which is registered in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis in the West Indies. Guava has been the plaintiff in 21 federal lawsuits since October, including six in Minnesota.
"That would be news to me," Mooney said. "I'm not involved in any of that type of stuff. I'm more or less a personal trainer."

When Apple decided to try to pave its own road into the navigation apps market with Maps in iOS 6, it was assumed the Cupertino company would have something ready to go right at launch that would compare with the previous default option, Google Maps. What Apple ended up putting out into the world was an unfinished product with the direction-giving capabilities of a dementia patient. With a clear hole in the market to be filled, Nokia recently stepped up with it's offering: HERE Maps.
Announcing its arrival with an all-caps name, as if one is to shout it out, HERE builds upon Nokia's recent fascination with transportation. The Finnish phone maker has been working hard on different aspects of its navigation apps on the Windows Phone platform, and has balled that up into a mobile app and web-based client with HERE. That combination of web and app access allows you to use the cloud to create and save collections of maps and destinations that you can then access anywhere through your HERE account. It's a great way to keep track of interesting places you've come across during your travels. Unfortunately, though, the services pretty undistinguishable and HERE feels mostly like the browser service placed in the packaging of an app. This makes it a little less user friendly than one would expect, as taps and finger glides aren't as responsive as mouse clicks and scrolls.
As a whole, the maps don't look great. For the time being, there is no Google Street View-like option or anything equivalent to it either. A 3D view is on its way with Nokia's recent acquisition of 3D mapping company Earthmine, but until then even Apple Maps has a leg up in that department. You can take a look at your local streets in four different ways: Map view, Satellite view, Public Transit view, and Live Traffic view. For the most part, they all function the way one would expect. Satellite view was a little slow and images from my city were at least a year or so old–as were some addresses.
In general, the search service functioned and one can plug in general terms or specific locations and yield mostly accurate results. Just don't expect them to be extremely up to date. I plugged in a restaurant in my area that relocated about 6 months ago and its old location still comes up. In comparison, Google Maps' web client had updated information. Similarly, a grocery store that has been in town for several years now didn't even register on a search, no matter how general or specific I made it. Nokia says HERE uses NAVTEQ mapping data, the same system that nearly all in-car GPS systems use, which makes one wonder just how good those things really are.
Also worth noting is that when you're looking up information about a specific destination, reviews and ratings and provided by Trip Advisor. This comes with its pros and cons. On the plus side, Trip Advisor is a great service and also provides other nearby stops that may be worth your time while you're in the area. However if you'd like to read anything past the first sentence of a review, you'll be pushed out of HERE and into your web browser or into your Trip Advisor app. Either way, you'll have to leave HERE just to get basic information.
Public Transit view and Live Traffic view both appear to function in major cities. Even then, there are some areas in heavily populated locations where traffic data just seems to disappear. Transit data is sparse almost everywhere. There's no bus data, even in cities like mine where the running times and stops are well documented and monitored. Places like San Francisco and Seattle had its rail systems included so some of these features do exist in specific cities, but as a whole it appears to be a work in progress. The app even warns users when the features are turned on that they are in beta.
Even without traffic or public transit available, one would assume that the streets would be easily navigable with the help of turn-by-turn voice directions. That would be a correct assumption to make, as long as you only plan on walking. Walking directions are currently the only mode where spoken navigation is available, which seems like the least useful place for it to be. It's not like turns exactly sneak up on you while you're walking. Turn-by-turn information is available for nearly every trip but if you need to spoken aloud, make sure to provide your own co-pilot.
HERE Maps probably shouldn't be viewed as a finished product. There are some parts that are in place, some that are still coming to fruition, and some that are lacking completely. It's a beta product, but Nokia pushed it out like a finished and polished app so it's hard not to treat it as such. If you're using Apple Maps, HERE Maps is not going to add any real clarity to your navigation experience. In fact, there are some areas where the service even trails Apple's poorly received transport app. Nokia has proven itself to be more than capable of providing what it promises in its Windows Phone navigation apps. We'll just have to wait for it all to filter into HERE Maps. The real fault is with Nokia, as it promised it was streets ahead and turned out to be attempting to tail the lead cars. HERE Maps functions, but just doesn't live up to all the promise yet.
You can download HERE Maps for free in the Apple App Store.

18.2 Ward Meetings
The bishop oversees ward meetings. He presides at these meetings unless a member of the stake presidency, an Area Seventy, or a General Authority attends. His counselors may conduct ward meetings and may preside if he is absent. Presiding authorities and visiting high councilors should be invited to sit on the stand. High councilors do not preside when attending ward meetings.
If the bishop and his counselors are all absent, the stake president designates who presides at sacrament meeting. Normally he designates the elders quorum president, but he could authorize another priesthood holder instead.
Schedule for Sunday Meetings
Sunday meetings provide vitally important time for members to partake of the sacrament, worship, learn the gospel, learn their duties, and give service. Interested nonmembers may attend these meetings.
Wards are to hold the following Sunday meetings in one three-hour period (for meeting schedule options, see the "Sunday Meeting Schedule" chart on page 153):
Sacrament Meeting
Purposes of Sacrament Meeting
Each sacrament meeting should be a spiritual experience in which members of the Church renew their covenants by partaking of the sacrament. Other purposes of sacrament meeting are to worship, provide gospel instruction, perform ordinances, conduct ward business, and strengthen faith and testimony.
Planning and Conducting Sacrament Meeting
Members of the bishopric plan sacrament meetings and conduct them in a reverent and dignified manner. They oversee the administration of the sacrament, select subjects for talks and music, select and orient participants, and invite members to give opening and closing prayers. It is not necessary to hold a prayer meeting before sacrament meeting.
The bishopric ensures that sacrament meetings begin and end on time. Meetings should not be overprogrammed. A sample agenda follows:
Occasionally something unexpected may occur during the meeting that the presiding officer feels a need to clarify. In this situation, he should make any clarification that is needed, being careful not to cause embarrassment.
Time before Sacrament Meeting
Leaders set an example of reverence during the time before sacrament meeting. The bishopric and the speakers should be in their seats at least five minutes before the meeting begins. This is not a time for conversation or transmitting messages. Setting an example of reverence encourages the congregation to be spiritually prepared for a worshipful experience.
Members should be taught to make the time before sacrament meeting a period of prayerful meditation as they prepare spiritually for the sacrament.
The bishopric encourages families to arrive on time and to sit together.
Blessing and Passing the Sacrament
The bishopric ensures that the sacrament is blessed and passed in a reverent and orderly manner. The sacrament table should be prepared before the meeting begins. For instructions on preparing, blessing, and passing the sacrament, see 20.4.
Selecting Subjects for Talks and Music
The bishopric selects subjects for talks and music in sacrament meetings. Talks and music should focus on gospel subjects that help members build faith and testimony.
Selecting and Orienting Participants
Selecting Participants. The bishopric selects members to participate in sacrament meetings. Most opportunities to participate are given to ward members. If the bishopric invites members from outside the ward to speak, the guidelines in 21.1.20 should be followed.
Members of the bishopric regularly invite youth ages 12 to 18 to speak in sacrament meeting. Youth should speak briefly (about five minutes each) on assigned gospel subjects. They should prepare their own talks, though the bishopric may encourage parents to help.
The bishopric usually invites missionaries to speak in sacrament meeting just before they depart and when they return (see Handbook 1, 4.8.1 and 4.10.3). The bishopric makes it clear that this is a regular sacrament meeting and is not to be a missionary farewell or homecoming. The bishopric plans and conducts these meetings. Family
The bishopric schedules high councilors to speak as assigned by the stake president. The stake president determines the frequency of such assignments. It is not necessary for high councilors to speak in sacrament meeting every month.
The bishopric schedules one sacrament meeting each year for the Primary children to take part in a Primary program (see 11.5.4).
Occasionally the bishopric may invite the full-time missionaries who are serving in the area to speak.
The bishopric may not turn sacrament meetings over to auxiliaries or outside musical groups. However, auxiliaries may be invited to participate in the meeting under the bishopric's direction.
Members of the bishopric should extend invitations to speak in sacrament meeting well in advance of the meeting.
Orienting Participants. Members of the bishopric orient sacrament meeting participants. They review the purposes of sacrament meeting and explain that all talks and music should be in harmony with the sacred nature of the sacrament.
When inviting members to speak, a member of the bishopric clearly explains the subject and the length of time the person should speak. He counsels speakers to teach the doctrines of the gospel, relate faith-promoting experiences, bear witness of divinely revealed truths, and use the scriptures (see D&C 42:12; 52:9). Speakers should teach in a spirit of love after prayerful preparation. They should not speak on subjects that are speculative, controversial, or out of harmony with Church doctrine.
To maintain an atmosphere of reverent worship in sacrament meetings, when speakers use scriptures as part of their talks, they should not ask the congregation to open their own books to the scriptural references.
Members who participate in sacrament meeting should stay until the meeting ends.
Introducing New Members
When membership records are received in a ward and when converts are baptized and confirmed, a member of the bishopric introduces and welcomes the members in the next sacrament meeting. He reads each person's name, invites the person to stand, and asks members of the congregation to show by the uplifted hand that they accept the members in full fellowship in the ward. Records of family members are read together. If a member knows any reason why a person may not be entitled to full fellowship, he or she should talk to the bishop privately.
After children who are members of record are baptized and confirmed, a member of the bishopric announces each child's baptism and confirmation in sacrament meeting. These children are not presented for acceptance into the ward because they are already members.
Sacrament Services in Unusual Situations
Every member needs the spiritual blessings that come from partaking of the sacrament. If members are unable to attend sacrament meeting because they are confined to a home, nursing home, or hospital, the bishop may assign priesthood holders to prepare, bless, and pass the sacrament to these members.
Occasionally members may be unable to attend sacrament meeting because of distance to the meetinghouse. Under unusual circumstances, the bishop may occasionally give authorization for a sacrament service to be held away from the meetinghouse. He may authorize such a service only within his ward boundaries. The person whom the bishop authorizes to conduct the service must hold the Melchizedek Priesthood or be a priest in the Aaronic Priesthood. He also must be worthy to bless and pass the sacrament. The priesthood holder who directs the service reports to the bishop when the service has been held.
When members are traveling or temporarily residing away from their home wards, they should make an earnest effort to attend sacrament meeting and other Sunday meetings in a ward or branch of the Church.
Sacrament services should not be held in conjunction with family reunions or other outings.
Fast and Testimony Meeting
Usually on the first Sunday of each month, sacrament meeting is a fast and testimony meeting. General conference and stake conference may
Under the bishop's direction, in this meeting children may be named and blessed and confirmations may be performed before the administration of the sacrament.
After the sacrament, the bishopric member who is conducting the meeting bears a brief testimony. He then invites members to bear heartfelt testimonies and to relate faith-promoting experiences. The bishopric encourages members to keep their testimonies brief so more people may have the opportunity to participate.
It may be best to have young children learn to share their testimonies in settings such as family home evening or when giving talks in Primary until they are old enough to do so in a fast and testimony meeting without assistance from a parent, sibling, or other person.
Priesthood Meeting
All priesthood holders meet together for brief opening exercises before separating for their quorum meetings. Prospective elders and unordained young men of Aaronic Priesthood age may also attend. A member of the bishopric conducts.
Opening exercises include an opening hymn and prayer. They may also include priesthood business; instruction; brief announcements; and the introduction of new members, investigators, and visitors. Opening exercises should not be used to give lengthy announcements or reports. Maximum time should be reserved for quorum meetings.
The bishop may invite the elders quorum president, priests quorum assistants, teachers quorum president, and deacons quorum president to sit with the bishopric during opening exercises.
After opening exercises, priesthood holders separate into quorum meetings. In these meetings, they conduct business, learn priesthood duties, strengthen individuals and families, study the gospel of Jesus Christ, counsel together, and organize to meet local needs. Bishopric members normally attend Aaronic Priesthood quorum meetings, though occasionally they attend Young Women classes. Sometimes the bishopric may direct the Aaronic Priesthood quorums or all priesthood holders to hold a combined meeting.
Other meetings should not be scheduled during priesthood meeting.
For more information about priesthood quorum meetings, see 7.8 and 8.11.
Ward Conference
The stake presidency schedules and directs a ward conference once a year in each ward. Members of the stake presidency, high council, and stake auxiliaries take part in ward conference sessions as the stake president directs. The purposes of ward conference are to strengthen faith and testimony, provide gospel instruction, conduct business, and evaluate activity.
The main session of ward conference is held during sacrament meeting. Normally the agenda is similar to that of other sacrament meetings. The stake president presides, and the stake presidency usually plans the meeting. A member of the bishopric usually conducts. Before the sacrament, a member of the stake presidency or a high councilor uses the Officers Sustained form (prepared by a ward clerk) to present the names of general, stake, and ward officers to ward members for their sustaining vote. After the sacrament, speakers normally include the bishop and stake president.
The ward usually holds regular priesthood and auxiliary meetings as part of ward conference. Stake leaders may give instruction and assistance during these meetings.
In connection with ward conference, the stake presidency meets with the bishopric to review the progress of individuals and organizations in the ward. This meeting may be held on ward conference Sunday or at another time.
Bishopric Meeting
The bishopric usually meets at least weekly. The ward clerk and ward executive secretary attend; the clerk keeps a record of assignments and decisions. The bishop may invite others to attend as needed. For example, a sensitive matter could be addressed in an expanded bishopric meeting that includes the elders quorum president, Relief Society president, or both.
During a bishopric meeting, members of the bishopric counsel together about ward matters. They plan ways to strengthen individuals and families. They evaluate quorums, auxiliaries, programs, and activities. They also make plans to implement instructions from the scriptures, Church leaders, and handbooks.
In this meeting, members of the bishopric identify members to call to serve in the ward. They also identify which members are coming of age to be eligible for ordinances, including priesthood ordinations, and which brethren to
Other agenda items for this meeting may include reporting on assignments, planning meetings, reviewing the ward calendar, and reviewing the ward budget.
Ward Priesthood Executive Committee Meeting
The ward priesthood executive committee (PEC) has been discontinued. Agenda items for PEC meetings are now included in ward council meetings. A sensitive matter could also be addressed in an expanded bishopric meeting that includes the elders quorum president, Relief Society president, or both.
Ward Council Meeting
See 4.6.
Bishopric Youth Committee Meeting
The bishop presides over the bishopric youth committee. This committee is composed of the bishopric, one of the bishop's priests quorum assistants, the teachers and deacons quorum presidents, the Young Women class presidents, and the Young Men and Young Women presidents.
The bishopric may invite others to attend the committee's meetings as needed. These may include the other priests quorum assistant, counselors in quorum and class presidencies, quorum and class secretaries, counselors in the Young Men and Young Women presidencies, and Young Men and Young Women secretaries.
The committee usually meets monthly. The bishop may conduct this meeting, or he may assign one of his counselors, one of his priests quorum assistants, or the Laurel class president to conduct it. Before each meeting, the bishop reviews and approves the agenda with the person who will be conducting. The agenda may include the following items:
These committee meetings should provide leadership opportunities and instruction for youth.
Ward Young Single Adult Committee Meeting

Brennick killed Satu Harris, a mother of three
A Brunswick County jury has found Daniel Brennick, 25, guilty of second-degree murder in the 2010 death of Satu Harris, a 38-year-old Oak Island mother of three.
He was sentenced to 15 to nearly 19 years in prison.
According to the prosecution, Brennick was drunk and speeding northbound May 7, 2010, on River Road near Southport when he crossed the center line and struck Harris' southbound vehicle head-on. Harris, 38, died at the scene.
Brennick's truck overturned several times and he was ejected. He subsequently lost a leg as a result of the wreck.
Brennick also was found guilty of felony death by motor vehicles and driving while impaired.
In her opening statement, Assistant District Attorney Gina Essey said Brennick was convicted of reckless driving twice before and has a charge of driving after consuming alcohol under the age of 21 on his record. But even though "he knew better, he still got behind the wheel of his truck," she said.
The deadly crash in May happened after Daniel Brennick drank three Bud Lights and three shots of 87-proof Goldschlager schnapps at the Oak Island Golf Club bar, named Duffer's Pub.
Four employees from Duffer's Pub testified to seeing Brennick in the hour before the crash chatting with a friend at the bar. Bartender Jennifer Szot said when she served Brennick the beers and shots he seemed sober.
Then, "all of a sudden it just took a turn," Szot said. "He totally, in a matter of minutes, was extremely intoxicated."
Aftward, Brennick got behind the wheel of his pickup.
A paramedic who was in ambulance testified that she saw Brennick speeding and swerving down the road. The paramedic said she called dispatch but the truck passed her so quickly she was unable to grab a license plate.
A short time later, a call came out that there had been a wreck.
Brennick crashed head-on into Harris' Nissan sedan, trapping her in a pile of mangled wreckage. Brennick lay facedown on the pavement, clinging to life.
Prosecutors said Brennick's blood-alcohol content was 0.24, three times the legal limit, at the time of the collision.

SEC M5: 10.24.13 EditionPosted by Greg Mitchell on October 24th, 2013
- The hype is so great around Kentucky that it seems newsworthy when someone doesn't pick the Wildcats to win the SEC. Five voters in the preseason SEC media poll picked Florida to win the league, and one of them was former Wildcats assistant coach Joe Dean Jr. Dean likes Florida's veteran edge, and anticipates two great games between the teams this season. Kentucky cruised to the SEC regular season crown in 2011-12 with a six-game lead, and Florida won last season with a two-game margin that was never really in doubt. Having both programs at the level they are expected to be at this season should make for a tighter race. This isn't to say Tennessee, LSU or another school won't be in contention too. Dean also had an interesting take on the potential risk of John Calipari adding Kentucky high school stars Dominique Hawkins and Derek Willis to the class: "When I was there, there was a train of thought with Kentucky high school players that if you were going to bring them to Kentucky, they had to be capable of starting at Kentucky at some point in their career. If they were not, then the fan base in Maysville, Paducah, Danville, Pikeville would be upset because they think those kids are the greatest thing in the world."
- Several national college basketball voices have highlighted the drastic difference in penalties handed out to Frank Haith and Bruce Pearl for what appears to be similar misconduct (lying to NCAA investigators). No one will likely ever know what happened in those respective meetings with the NCAA, and it's possible Haith's behavior wasn't as comparatively bad as Pearl's. Still, there's no denying that Haith's five-game suspension looks golden compared to Pearl's multi-year show-cause penalty and subsequent absence from the sport. But Haith might not be totally free and clear of this scandal once he returns to the Tigers' bench. His record at Missouri is excellent but he has yet to win an NCAA tournament game, and the lingering stigma of a #15 seed (Norfolk State) over a #2 seed is hard to escape. Haith is by no means on the hot seat, but if his teams continue to disappoint in postseason play, the Miami scandal could resurface as ammunition for boosters and fans that want him gone.
- Jarnell Stokes is taking to heart the feedback he received from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee after last season. "It wasn't anything like you're too short to play in the NBA or you just don't have skills," Stokes said. "They were basically saying you have to be able to run the floor better and find different ways to score, be able to show you can shoot the ball and improve my overall skills." DraftExpress has Stokes as a late first round pick in its current 2014 mock draft. Like all coaches who have pro prospects on their teams, Cuonzo Martin faces the difficult situation of allowing his players to showcase the skills and development NBA scouts want to see while keeping with the overall team scheme. This is a fine line coaches must deal with since the statement "I can help get you to the next level" is undoubtedly a common refrain on recruiting visits.
- Julian Terrell will return to Vanderbilt to serve as the director of video operations on Kevin Stallings' staff. Terrell played at Vanderbilt from 2002-06 and was a member of the Commodores' 2004 Sweet Sixteen team. Since then he's made numerous stops playing abroad. Kentucky video coordinator Tim Asher said that five SEC schools still don't have positions dedicated to video operations, instead relegating these duties to graduate assistants. Given its importance to scouting, it seems almost irresponsible to not have a full-time staff member doing this type of work nowadays. One would think teams would want every possible advantage, and video wouldn't seem to be the philosophical jump advanced metrics is for some coaches. However, this could also represent a budget issue for some schools.
- Kentucky and UTEP are set to play at Maryland in 2016 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1966 NCAA championship game between the two schools (UTEP was Texas Western at the time). The 1966 game, also the focus of the 2006 movie Glory Road, was historically significant because Texas Western started five African-American players versus the Wildcats, representing the first all-black team to play in a championship game. If it all works out, the game may even take place on Martin Luther King Day three seasons from now. Kudos to both schools for putting this game together; it's a well-deserved homage to a college basketball game that transcended the sport. Pat Riley (a Kentucky forward in 1966) is the most famous person to have played in that game, so it'll be interesting to see if he gets involved.

Reviewed By jeff l (POTTSTOWN, PA) Reviewed for a 2003 GMC Envoy —8/22/2013 10:56 AM
I purchased this for my 2003 Envoy XL 4.2L V6 for towing mostly. I also have a K+N cold air intake. My wife and I have noticed a difference in shifting gears, lower RPM's in regular driving and towing, more power where it needs to be, but have not seen a drastic change in fuel economy. Have only had it installed now for 3 weeks. I would certainly recommend this to anyone.

OKANOGAN Winter's cold is bringing an increase in reports to the Okanogan County Sheriff's Office of possible animal abuse.
"This time of year we do get calls on animals and the cold," Sheriff Frank Rogers said. "Basically we just want to make sure their animals, especially dogs, who are the majority of the calls, have food, water and some sort of shelter to get out of the cold."
Dave Yarnell, the office's designated animal control deputy since June, said he receives a lot of calls about animals an expects them to increase once the snow flies.
"People get concerned" when they see animals outside in harsh conditions, he said.
Last week, the office received more than a half-dozen animal calls, including one about dogs being left outside in extreme cold with no water. According to complaint data, others included stray cattle and horses on roads, escaped dogs, a vicious dog, a dead goat and an injured dog.
Sometimes owners are caring for their animals, but well-meaning neighbors or passers-by may not ever see the owners so they think the animals are being neglected, Yarnell said.
"The owner and the public often pass in the night and one doesn't know what the other's doing," he said.
Other times, there is neglect or abuse. Yarnell said people should contact the Sheriff's Office if there's a concern.
Last year, the Sheriff's Office handled several animal abuse calls that resulted in seizure of dogs, horses, cattle and other animals.
Yarnell said he now refers people to Nourishing Hands shelter, which offers a pet food bank and can help people with "tricks of the trade" to ensure their animals have enough to eat. Outdoor stock need more food in the winter than at other times of the year, when grassy fields are snow-free.
Animals also need plenty of drinkable water. Even though a creek may be nearby, if it's frozen that doesn't count as drinkable water, he said.
Rogers said his office gets legitimate animal calls, but also some odd ones.
"I was in dispatch last year when someone called to complain that they saw several cows out in a field and felt that all of the cows needed to be covered in blankets and wanted the Sheriff's Office to go handle it," he said. "We didn't. We're not covering cows with blankets during the winter."
Rogers said his office just acquired a horse trailer, which will help Yarnell if he has to round up animals or seize them. The department has had to rely on volunteers with trailers in the past.
"So now he can haul animals himself if needed," he said.
Yarnell said he's already used the trailer to round up some escaped cattle.

Any one interested in having a fighter meet in Nor Cal?
Any one interested in having a fighter meet in Nor Cal?
Yeah, where at in NCAL? The Bay?
down... i play everything.
I work in the East Bay and live in SF.
I'd be willing to go, depending on when it is.
Awesome it will be in Fremont. I have just about every fighter for the mvs CPs2 and Naomi boards. I also have continuum shift. Im shooting for spring break.
Last edited by BIGTIME; 02-25-2011 at 03:47 AM.
you have bbcs on taito x2? or on console?
i could also bring cps2 or naomi stuff if needed. I used to live in hayward until dec. of last year. we should have tried to meet up before.
I played bang in CT. didn't really get into CS that much, but I would enjoy playing it. That's awesome that you have the taito x2 though, i'm jealous.
When is spring break? Being in school seems so long ago for me.
Yo Bigtime, do you play CVS2 or MVC2 by chance? If so we're bound to meet at the SFSU Cesar Chavez Center arcade at some point or another. I commute from Pleasanton, but I do try to hit up lunch times when I can.
Last edited by BIGTIME; 02-25-2011 at 09:03 PM.
I never really got into marvel 2... I own it, but don't play it. CvS2 I did play for a bit, but I'm pretty scrubby still.
If we do this thing do you have anything other than your blast city? I could bring a console or something if you need, that way we don't all have to wait to play on one cab. depending on how many people agree to show up that is.
BIGTIME actually has a bunch of cabs, including a nice Neo candy MVS-U4 so you don't need to worry about crowding around just 1 cab or something. But he can tell you the exact number of cabs he has.
Ok so here is a list of games
King of fighters 94,96,97,2000,03
Art of fighting 1,2,3
Fatal Fury 1,2,3,SP,MOTW,RB,RBS,RB2

I can boot anything through the Dimm
I'm thinking most likely people will want to play
Melty Blood
Street Fighter Zero 3 upper
But I can boot up the more obscures if anyone wants to play
Blast City Games
I can either run BBCS x2 version or the PS3. I am hoping for some feedback on this the only fighters I currently own on PS3 are
Tekken 6
Virtua Fighter 5
We can also play PS2 collections because my system is backwards compatible.
awesome selection. That should be more than enough to accomodate us.
if anyone really wants me to, I could bring super turbo, vampre savior, vsav2, gem fighter, or zero 3 for cps2s. You have the naomi stuff I have except gg xx slash, but people probably don't want to play that. which mb do you have? AC or AA?
I'd also be down to play mvc3 on ps3. I have it for both systems, but only have a disc for 360, wink wink.
i forgot to mention, I also have third strike if people are interested.
Vampire Savior 2 features the Vampire Savior cast along with Donovan, Huitzil and Pyron, omitting Jon Talbain (as well as Dark Talbain), Rikuo and Sasquatch. Both versions feature Oboro Bishamon and Shadow as secret characters, as well as Marionette, with which the fights consist of "mirror matches" (e.g. Morrigan vs Morrigan, Demitri vs Demitri).
BTW BIGTIME your PM box is full.
Also I'm note really interested in playing 3rd strike but thank you for your offer
Boxes empty pm away!
I'd be down to brawl it out on any of those dates. Always fun to meet forum people.
I can bring any of these if we wanna play em:
Super SF II X
X-Men VS SF
SF Alpha 3
Vampire Savior
I love sluggin' in Garou MOTW, Super Turbo, and 3rd Strike. Also Samurai II and Alpha 2.
March 19th is the only date that works for me. Hopefully it can be held then. If not, then have fun whenever you have it.
i should be ok with any of those 3 dates. the sooner we set a concrete date the better.
Ok so unless anyone has qualms with the date we are gonna set the 19th in stone due to the most people being able to show up on that day. Also I just picked up as astro city for a good price and I have had a few pm's about third strike so if Kaph33n would be so kind as to bring his cps3 we should have another cab for the meet. One other game I was thinking about, and I know its one of those you hate it or love it games, was Killer Instinct If anyone has the board. I obviously love it and would be down to play if somone would be willing to bring it along. Also as far as the fighters in the neo cabs I am thinking
Rage of The Dragons
Last Blade 2
Sam Sho 2
SVC Chaos
AOF 2 (My personal Fav)
any input would be great on this.
And alas tthe voltage regulator on my K7000 blew out the other day in my big red so we will only have 2 Neos most likely.
I have had quite a few peeps interested in MVC3 as well so I went out and picked up a copy so we can play it on the Blast City.

The wind damaged nine separate structures owned by Rocky Mountain Power on Sunday between 3 and 4 p.m. The damage, which occurred primarily on towers south of Blanding, caused power outages in the Bluff, Montezuma Creek and Aneth areas.
Crews worked to restore power to Bluff by 10 p.m. on Sunday evening. However, the power outage continued overnight and into Monday in Montezuma Creek and Aneth.
School was canceled at Whitehorse High School and Montezuma Creek Elementary School on Monday, March 31.
Rocky Mountain Power crews are working on a number of temporary fixes while eventually replacing the structures that were damaged by the wind.
Wind gusts exceeding 50 miles per hour were recorded in several areas of San Juan County during the storm.
The emergency response was the first test of county responders after a realignment of assignments in county government.
On March 24, David Gallegos was made the county fire chief, with Kelly Pehrson as emergency manager, Tammy Gallegos as the deputy emergency manager, Linda Larson as the EMS department head, and Preston Grover as the landfill department head.

Modern laptops weigh 3 to 12 pounds (1.4 to 5.4 kg); older laptops were usually heavier. Most laptops are designed in the flip form factor to protect the screen and the keyboard when closed. Modern 'tablet' laptops have a complex joint between the keyboard housing and the display, permitting the display panel to twist and then lay flat on the keyboard housing. They usually have a touchscreen display and some include handwriting recognition or graphics drawing capability.Laptops were originally considered to be "a small niche market"[2] and were thought suitable mostly for "specialized field applications" such as "the military, the Internal Revenue Service, accountants and sales representatives".[2][3] Battery-powered portable computers had just 2% worldwide market share in 1986[4]. But today, there are already more laptops than desktops in businesses, and laptops are becoming obligatory for student use and more popular for general use.[5] In 2008 more laptops than desktops were sold in the US[6] and according to a forecast by the research firm IDC and Intel, the same milestone will be achieved in the worldwide PC market as soon as 2009.[6][7]Contents[hide] * 1 History * 2 Classification o 2.1 As replacement o 2.2 Notebook o 2.3 Subnotebook o 2.4 Netbook o 2.5 Rugged Laptop * 3 Components o 3.1 Docking stations o 3.2 Standards * 4 Advantages * 5 Disadvantages o 5.1 Performance o 5.2 Upgradeability o 5.3 Ergonomics and health o 5.4 Durability o 5.5 Security * 6 Major brands and manufacturers * 7 Sales * 8 See also * 9 References[edit] Historyain article: History of laptopshe Epson HX-20As the personal computer became feasible in the early 1970s, the idea of a portable personal computer followed. In particular, a "personal, portable information manipulator" was imagined by Alan Kay at Xerox PARC in 1968[8] and described in his 1972 paper as the "Dynabook"[9].The I.B.M. SCAMP project (Special Computer APL Machine Portable), was demonstrated in 1973. This prototype was based on the PALM processor (Put All Logic In Microcode).The I.B.M. 5100, the first commercially available portable computer, appeared in September 1975, and was based on the SCAMP prototype.As 8-bit CPU machines became widely accepted, the number of portables increased rapidly. The Osborne 1 used the Zilog Z80, weighed 23.5 pounds (10.7 kg). It had no battery, only a tiny 5" CRT screen and dual 5¼" single-density floppy drives. In the same year the first laptop-sized portable computer, the Epson HX-20, was announced[10]. The Epson had a LCD screen, a rechargeable battery and a calculator-size printer in a 1.6 kg (4 pounds) chassis. Both Tandy/Radio Shack and HP also produced portable computers of varying designs during this period.The first laptop using the clamshell design, used today by almost all laptops, appeared in 1982. The $8150 GRiD Compass 1100 was used at NASA and by the military among others. The Gavilan SC, released in 1983, was the first notebook marketed using the term "laptop".From 1983 onwards: * Several new input techniques were developed and included in laptops: the touchpad (Gavilan SC, 1983), the pointing stick (IBM ThinkPad 700, 1992) and handwriting recognition (Linus Write-Top[11], 1987). * Some CPUs were designed specifically for low power use (including laptops (Intel i386SL, 1990), and were supported by dynamic power management features (Intel SpeedStep and AMD PowerNow!) in some designs. * Displays reached VGA resolution by 1988 (Compaq SLT 286) and 256-color screens by 1993 (PowerBook 165c), progressing quickly to millions of colors and high resolutions. * High-capacity hard drives and optical storage (CD-ROM followed CD-R and CD-RW and eventually by DVD-ROM and the writable varieties) became available in laptops soon after their introduction to the desktops.Early laptops often had proprietary and incompatible system architectures, operating systems, and bundled applications, making third party hardware and software difficult and sometimes impossible to develop.
