The Rule of 14 is a bridge bidding convention used on the Acol Bridge. It is used by the responder when responding to their partner’s opening offer.

When opener has opened with a one suit bid and responder has a weak hand with a suit that can also be bid at the one level, it is usually correct to do so instead of making a 1NT bid. However, if a suit exchange response would take us to level two and we are down to 9 points, then that is when we would normally bid 1NT. It does not mean that we have a balanced hand, it just means that there are no other offers available to us and we have more than 6 points and therefore we should not check.

Here is an example:

(Our hand) South

Spades: 5 2

Hearts: K 9 8 6 3

Diamonds: J 10 5 3

Clubs: Q6

The companion opened with an offer of a sword. We only have 6 points and we don’t have enough swords to support the partner’s sword offer. Ideally, we’d like to offer our hearts on one level, but we can’t. We don’t have enough points to bid at level two, so we are forced to bid 1NT. This doesn’t show a balanced hand, it just tells partner that we have a weak hand and don’t have enough spades to support.

How can we decide if our hand is strong enough for a response at level two? This is where the Rule of 14 comes in.

Using the rule of 14

Start by adding up the number of high card points you have. Then add to that the number of cards in the longest suit. If the total is 14 or more, the hand met the Rule of 14 and we can bid at the two level. If the total is less than fourteen then we should bid 1NT.

Here are some more examples:

Example 1

South

S: 10 7 2

high: 8 5

D: A 9 5

C: KJ 9 7 3

The partner has opened with a bid of 1 heart. We can’t auction off our clubs without going up to level two. Using the Rule of 14 we have 8 high cards and 5 cards in our longest suit. This gives us a total of 13, so we must respond with a 1NT offer.

Example 2

South

S: 8 7 6

tall: 8

D: P 9 2

C: AQ 10 6 5 2

The partner has opened 1H. As in the previous hand, we want to auction clubs, but this would mean going up to level two. We have 8 high card points, but this time we have 6 cards in our longest suit. Adding these two gives us a total of 14, so we can auction 2 Clubs.

Once the Federal Tax Bonds have been filed, the next project is to try to get them released. Last year, the Internal Revenue Service filed approximately 950,000 links. That number is expected to increase considerably. Most taxpayers are at a loss and have many misconceptions about how to release federal tax liens. Here are 10 golden tips that cover just about every path to getting the dreaded Federal Tax Link posted.

1. Make sure you really owe the tax and that the tax assessed is the correct amount. Don’t assume that what the IRS says you owe is correct. Compare your tax records to the actual IRS notice. If you didn’t file your own tax return, the IRS may have filed a substitute return, an SFR. Generally, the amount the IRS assesses is much higher because they only give you standard deductions. When this happens, complete a correct tax return and send it to:

I.R.S.
Fresno ASFR Campus
Unit stop 81304
post office box 24015
Fresno, Calif. 93779

This IRS unit processes the tax return now filed by the taxpayer. At the filing of the new tax return, submit a cover letter requesting a “reconsideration.” This could take up to 3-5 months, so please be patient.

2. Pay the tax in full as soon as possible. This is the fastest way to release the Federal Tax Link. If you pay by cashier’s check, the IRS will immediately release the Federal Tax Liaison if you walk into a local office. Be sure to get a copy of the lien release and find out when the IRS will send a copy to your local court. You’ll also want to check with the credit bureaus within 30 days to make sure they’ve posted the satisfaction release on your credit report.

3. Submit an Offer of Compromise under Doubt about Collection Capacity. Pay the terms of the Offer in Compromise and the IRS will release the federal tax lien once the Offer is paid in full and all terms are met.

4. Find out if the statute of limitations has expired in the tax years involved. The IRS has a 10-year time frame in which they must collect the taxes. The 10-year period begins when the IRS conducts the assessment on the IRS computer. This is usually 6 weeks after the returns are filed. If the statute period has expired, the lien is automatically released by statute, but the IRS will not send a release. You will have to formally ask them for a copy of the statement. If you would like a paper copy of the federal tax lien release after the statute has expired, please fax your request to:

IRS Centralized Link Postings
Fax number 859-669-3805

5. Request a bond. The cost of the bond is very high, but the IRS will release the Federal Tax Liaison once the bond is served to them. A bond is usually as much as the federal tax bond payment.

6. Do not allow the Federal Tax Link to be filed in the first place. When the Notice of Intent to File is sent to you, call the IRS and ask for a hearing. This will at least delay the possible filing of the Federal Tax Liaison. You can explain to them the reasons why the presentation of the link should not take place.

7. If there are special circumstances that would cause difficulties due to the filing of the federal tax lien, let the IRS know about the situation. Difficult situations can change the circumstances of most cases. The IRS will give due consideration to certain conditions.

8. Contact the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate if you think there is a problem with the filing and you want the IRS to investigate the situation. The Office of the Taxpayer Advocate is there for you. Go to IRS.gov to find the office closest to you.

9. If you realize you made a mistake on your own tax return and the liability is incorrect, file an amended tax return so the IRS can correct the issuance of the federal tax lien.

10. A professional tax resolution company is your best option to help you. A good tax resolution company with experienced professionals can resolve these issues.

As a follow-up note, the federal tax lien is very detrimental to your credit score. Most lenders will not lend with the presence of the Federal Tax Link. Do your best so that the Federal Tax Liaison never shows up.

It seems that many of the classic childhood games that were played outdoors with little to no equipment, gadgets and the like are being lost. Kids don’t hear about these games most of the time, let alone how to play them.

Many of these are great exercises, cost nothing, and best of all, build wonderful childhood memories. Many of my fondest childhood memories are hours and hours of playing these various games with my brother, my cousins, and anyone else who happened to be around.

Here is a list of some of my favorites:
Red Light Green Light – One person touches the “traffic light” and the rest try to touch it. Whoever touches it first wins. To start, all the kids form a line about 15 feet away from the person at the stoplight. That traffic light is facing away from the line of children and says “green light”. At this point, the children can move towards the traffic light, some run, some walk or sneak. At any moment, the person at the traffic light yells “red light” and turns around. If any of the children are caught moving after this has happened, he is out. This continues until the first player to touch the traffic light wins the game and earns the right to be the “traffic light” for the next game.

Kick The Can – This is a combination of hide and seek and tag. One “it” person closes their eyes and counts to a high number, while everyone else hides. So, the person who told that he has been guarding “the can” runs around the neighborhood to find everyone. The tricky part is that once a person is found, they have a race, where the person who was just found has to try to kick the can before the counter touches them. It seems like there are always kids hiding in some silly, easy-to-spot spot, intending to run for the can if they get caught.

Marbles: A relatively smooth playing field is needed, usually on dirt. A small hole is made in the center of the playing area. Each player picks up a marble and they are randomly scattered across the playing field. Each player uses a large marble called a shooter to try to shoot the other marbles into the hole like a pool table. Players take turns shooting, and if a player hits a marble in the hole with his shot, he gets to keep the marble he shot and shoot again. Of course, the simple exchange of marbles is always popular too.

Duck Duck Goose – Children sit in a circle facing each other. One person is “it” and walks around the circle. As they walk, they touch people’s heads and tell if they are a “duck” or a “goose.” Once someone is the “goose,” they get up and try to chase them around the circle. The goal is to touch that person before he can sit in the “goose’s” spot. If the goose cannot do this, it becomes “it” for the next round and the game continues. If they touch the “it” person, the tagged person has to sit in the center of the circle. So the goose turns on him for the next round. The person in the middle cannot leave until another person is tagged and is replaced.

Stick Ball – The game is played with a baseball bat and a ball, usually a tennis ball, so we didn’t break any windows. There are no teams, just one person to beat and everyone else in the outfield. The person with the bat throws the ball up and hits it. He then places the bat on the ground in front of him. The person receiving the ball throws it at the bat from the spot where the ball was picked up. When and if the ball hits the bat, it jumps into the air. If the batter does not catch the ball, the person who rolled it must bat. If someone in the field catches a hit before he hits the ground, he is automatically ready to bat.

Hopscotch – Hopscotch is a wonderful jumping game that can be played on a sidewalk or pavement or on an indoor floor. There are hundreds of variations of the diagram that can be drawn. Use your favorite version for the kids to play. Use chalk to draw a hopscotch pattern on the floor or use masking tape on the floor. Create a diagram with 8 sections and number them. Each player has a marker such as a rock, bean bag, bottle cap, shell, button, etc.

The first player stands behind the starting line to throw their marker at box 1. Jump over box 1 to box 2 and then continue jumping to box 8, turn around and jump again. Pause at square 2 to pick up the marker, jump to square 1 and exit. Then continue throwing the stone at square 2. All jumps are done with one foot, unless the hopscotch layout is such that two squares are next to each other. Two feet can then be placed down with one on each square. A player must always jump over any square where a fabricator has been placed.

A player is out if the marker does not land on the proper square, the jumper steps on a line, the jumper loses balance when bending to pick up the marker and puts a second hand or foot on the ground, the jumper enters a square where is a marker, or if a player puts two feet down on a single box. The player places the marker on the square where the game will resume on the next turn and the next player starts. Sometimes a dome-shaped “rest area” is added at one end of the hopscotch pattern where the player can rest for a second or two before jumping back.

Farmer in the Dell: Participants need around 15 or more to stand in a circle. One person is chosen as Farmer and stands in the middle. They all sing, “The farmer in the valley, the farmer in the valley; Heigh ho, the Derry-oh the farmer in the valley” and walk in a circle. The next verse is “The farmer takes a wife…”, which is sung while the first person chooses another person from the circle to come inside. The next verse is “The wife takes a son…”, when the second person in the circle chooses a third person to be the son. This continues with “The boy gets a dog…”, “The dog gets a cat…”, “The cat gets a rat…” and “The rat gets the cheese…” The last verse is “The cheese is alone…”, when all the people inside the circle return to the outer edge of the circle and sing while the last chosen person “is alone” in the circle, the game ends.

Try to remember some of your favorites and add them to the list. Recreate the lost games of childhood and pass them on to your children and grandchildren to enjoy, and share with them a link to examples of what you did as a child. It will help them see you in a new light.

New PC games and video games are not only capable of bringing fun and excitement to everyone, but they can also bring certain benefits and advantages.

With the help of advanced technology and popularity, the gaming industry has advanced and expanded rapidly over the years.

If we look for a categorization of video games, they are roughly divided into eight main categories:

Values

These are fast-paced and can contain a lot of violence because of this. Action games are often unsuitable for children. These games are included in the category “M” (Rated for adults). Some examples are Halo, Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and Enter the Matrix.

Adventure and role-playing games

These are usually not as graphic as action games and can take the player into surrealism and fantasy. Although adventure and role-playing games often contain violence, it is not found to be as intense as the violence in action games. Examples of this category are Borderlands 2, Final Fantasy, Legend of Mana, and Billy Hatcher.

First person shooter games

As the name suggests, it is a game in which the player sees the action through the eyes of the character they represent and involves the use of pistols or rifles to kill the enemy. Due to the violence involved in this genre of games, they are not suitable for young children. Examples of these games are “Half-Life”, “Half-Life 2”, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare”, etc.

Construction and Management Simulation (CMS)

As the name suggests, in games belonging to this genre, players are expected to build, expand and manage imaginary projects and communities with very few resources. Examples of this genre include “SimCity” and “Harvest Moon”.

Strategy

The emphasis here is on strategy rather than violence, and these games are slower-paced, giving the player time for strategic thinking, resource management, and planning to achieve victory. Most are based on war, so violence is not completely absent. These games are not suitable for children. Some examples are Advanced Wars I & II, Civilization V and Crusader Kings II.

Simulation

These are video or computer games that simulate real-world situations in game settings. In this category, the three most popular games are Racing Simulators, Flight Simulators and Sims. There are many games in this class to entertain the children. Some examples of simulation games are: Football Manager, Farming Simulator 2013, The Sims and Evil Genius.

platforms

The Platform Game or Platformer consists of jumping between suspended platforms of different heights or obstacles and sometimes both to advance in the game. Some examples of Platformer are 40 Winks, Abuse, Action 52, and Adventure Island.

PUZZLE

Puzzle video games are a class of games that require puzzle solving. The types of puzzles to be solved can involve many problem-solving skills, such as the use of logic, solving word sequences, strategy, and pattern recognition. Some examples of puzzle video games are Mario, Bejeweled 3, Cradle of Rome 2, and Hidden Objects.

While we’re on the subject, let’s not forget sports games like NHL 13 and FIFA Soccer 13 and arcade games like Chicken Shoot 1, Toy Story Mania, and Angry Birds, to name a few.

Today, video games are enjoyed by a wide cross-section of our society, from young children to grandparents, and all have accepted them as a good form of entertainment and are considered better than watching television as they require viewer participation and interaction .

The general feeling is that video games do not bring any benefit to the player and especially in the case of children.

Contrary to this belief, there are many benefits to allowing children to play certain types of games. The most important of these benefits is the development of:

Cognitive thinking skills

fine motor skills

Real-time decision-making skills.

hand-eye coordination

cooperative game skills

Keeping video games out of the reach of children can only deprive them of these benefits.

A child’s imagination can be stimulated through role-playing games and adventures. Even if some of these games may seem tasteless due to their graphic nature and violence, they can play a positive and important role in a child’s development by promoting teamwork, building confidence and improving motor skills. Playing such video games will only provide the child with a healthy means of expression.

Certain video games are believed to teach children higher-level thinking skills that they would benefit from in the future.

Now that we’ve looked at the benefits for kids, let’s see what benefits video games have for the rest of us.

Various agencies, including universities in some parts of the world, are conducting research on the pros and cons of video games and the result is that the pros outweigh the cons in terms of benefits.

When playing video games, you will need to react quickly and make split-second decisions to succeed in the assigned task. It is believed that this type of practice would bring benefits in real life, where you would be able to react quickly and make quick decisions.

Brain scientists have found that a certain driving video game, created by a research and development team at the University of California, San Francisco, could improve short-term memory and long-term focus in older adults.

Immersion in a game was found to take your mind off pain and discomfort. For this reason, some hospitals have begun to suggest that children and others undergo painful treatments and play games to reduce their distress and anxiety.

Some video games have provided improvements in “Cognitive Flexibility”, which is the ability to quickly switch from one task to another.

Researchers at North Carolina State University found a link between playing video games and mental well-being among the elderly. They found that those citizens who played video games, even occasionally, experienced a state of well-being and happiness.

Games can also improve family relationships, as some of these games can and should be played together.

According to some studies conducted at the University of Rochester, people who play certain video game titles have shown improvements in tests in the following areas:

• Multitasking

• Attention

• Precision

• Vision

The only thing a video game player or family needs to ensure is that it does not become addictive in any way. A video game player should not end up spending hours and hours playing games and losing track of time and place and neglecting his duties, personal tasks and responsibilities.

Another thing that parents of minors need to ensure is that their children only have access to educational or similar games that are suitable for their age group and the good news is that there is a huge selection of games available that are appropriate for all ages.

Video game content rating is a system available in many countries and they are used to classify video games into age groups related to suitability regarding their content which if followed will help limit the negative aspects of some of the games .

Finally, if gamers are able to play in moderation and stick only to age-appropriate game categories, they can reap a number of benefits, as mentioned above.

In this article, I show you how to start a sexual conversation with a girl without telegraphing sexual intentions.

Your conversation with a girl you are interested in should be geared towards sexually suggestive topics.

In other words, if you’re talking to a girl you’re attracted to and want to develop a romantic relationship with, you’ll want your conversation or interaction with her to be sexual in nature.

In addition to the friendly conversation that you will have with her, you have to move towards topics of sexual suggestion to get closer to an intimate bond.

The goal here is to introduce sexual tension and build attraction with it.

The truth is that if you keep talking to a girl you are interested in at the level of a friend, she will categorize you as a friend in her mind.

She will see you only as a friend, but not as someone she is sexually attracted to.

Now the downside of this is that women or girls know that men want to have sex with them. So any suggestion or tentative insinuation on her part can cause a woman to raise her defenses.

So how do you do this? How do you start a sexual conversation with a girl without raising any red flags?

Exactly as the title says, in this article I’ll show you how to start a sexual conversation with a girl without sounding awkward or creepy.

You will learn the 3 best ways to introduce the topic of sex without telegraphing any interest.

Before you start…

You should know that women love to talk about sex…
But most of them are reluctant to talk about it with men they don’t feel comfortable with or have an emotional connection with.

So before you start sexual topics with a woman or a girl, make sure you’ve built a good relationship with her first.

It’s even better if he’s giving you some hints of interest. For example, when he’s playing with his hair, touching you, or leaning in to chat.

With that said, let’s get started… on how to start a sexual conversation with a girl.

Here’s how to start a sexual conversation with a girl:

Tip #1: Talk about things from a sexual perspective

Let’s say you’re talking about a movie.

Don’t tell him how much you liked him for his car chase and how one guy got to kick ass more.

Instead, tell him how you liked the love relationship between the characters.

And how you loved the sensuality of their scenes together. And then you ask her if there is any other movie that has affected her that way, and you ask her to explain why.

Tip #2: Feed your mind

Introduce sexually charged words or phrases into your normal conversation with her.

A great way to do this is by using sexual innuendos or double meanings. This is when you say something innocent, but it can be considered dirty or sexual.

For example:

• “Boy, this is really hard.” (When you’re talking about a popsicle).
• “Je n’ai pas come with her.” (When you talk about a party you went to).
• “The almost rear its.” (When you talk about someone who is hit by a car).

Another effective way to feed her mind or gradually bring up sexual themes is to use “That’s what she said jokes” and “That’s what he said jokes.”

When she says something like:

• “Put it on inside“
• “It’s so much better when it’s wet“
• “You want enters” (when she is inviting you to her apartment)

…then you respond with:

• “That’s what she said”

Or when he says something like…

• “You’re making it hard (form)”
• “It’s getting really hard“
• “I wanna to eat all the thing”

…then you respond with:

• “That’s what he said”

When she says something dirty on purpose, make fun of her for having a dirty mind.

Of course, you don’t want to go into this territory during the early stages or when you’ve just met.

You start with a superficial conversation, then you build it up to a more sexual conversation.

Again, make sure you’ve built a good relationship with her first. So you start using words that are sexually charged in your conversation.

And over time, she will feel comfortable talking about sexual topics with you.

If she isn’t playing along, she probably isn’t comfortable around you yet.

Next, on how to start a sexual conversation with a girl…

Tip #3: Mention a sexual situation of a friend of yours

For example:

You can tell her that you have a friend who complains that her boyfriend doesn’t like going south for sex. And she thinks her boyfriend doesn’t like the idea of ​​fucking her or he’s not taking the hints she’s giving him.

Now ask her how women can suggest things like that to their men.

• “So how do women hint at that sort of thing?”

(You see what you’re doing here…you’re getting her to talk specifically about sex)

Now, if she talks freely about the topic of sex, then she feels comfortable discussing sexual situations with you.

And from here, she will start to initiate sexual conversations with you.

There you have it… how to start a sexual conversation with a girl or woman.

Understand this: don’t make the girl or woman you’re talking about the subject of sexual conversation. He only talks about other people’s sexual situations.

Conclusion: How to start a sex conversation with a girl

If you can bring up sexual topics or start a sexual conversation with a girl in a way that doesn’t hint that you want to sleep with her, she will be more interested and open to discussing sexual topics with you. (Again, women love to talk about sex)

And again, as mentioned above, make sure you have gained a good relationship with her first.

Pay attention to it when using the 3 tactics above.

If you find that she is comfortable with that conversation and playing along, take it further. But if not, back off a bit and carry on with your normal conversation.

When all is said and done, when a woman is open to talking about sex, it doesn’t mean she’s ready to have sex with you. It means that she feels comfortable with you. And it’s a green light to move things into the romantic arena.

Again, this is how you start a sexual conversation with a girl.

First piece of advice, you should make sure to wait 20-30 minutes before leaving the blind. While you’re sitting there waiting, visualize your shot. If the deer jumped high and kicked, chances are it was hit in the vital organs, but if the deer runs and hunches over, you hit a shot to the stomach or what hunters call a shot to the stomach. stomach. If you hit the deer in the vital organs, the deer won’t go very far, but if you got a shot in the stomach, you’ll have to wait much longer. With shots to the stomach, the deer will likely lie down and die in that spot, given enough time, which increases the chances of that deer leaving your property and going onto someone else’s, which will make it harder to get it. Be patient and you will get your trophy.

Second tip, once you have found the blood trail, the color of the blood will determine how good of a short you made and where you might have hit the deer. If you’re tracking in the dark, having a red light will help you find blood more easily than a regular flashlight. Bright, pink, foamy blood with bubbles indicates that you’ve shot the lung and the deer won’t go far. Rich, vivid, red blood indicates that it was shot near the heart or in an area with multiple blood vessels. Dark crimson blood means you did an injection into the liver or kidney and the blood sign may be minimal, so be patient when following up. Blood with plant matter or food mixed with a yellowish-green tint means you’ve injected your stomach or intestine.

Third tip, looking at how the blood dispersed will give you the good shot you had. If the blood is in the deer tracks, that means the deer is walking and if the blood is woven into the trail, that means the deer is about to die and has probably lain down. Blood from a running deer will spray and splatter, and if there’s a lot of blood, it probably hit a major artery or shot the heart. Be sure to also look at vegetation and trees and not just the ground. If you are just looking at the ground, you may miss something or miss the deer in front of you. You may not find blood right away, but don’t give up, remember which way the deer ran and follow the tracks and you will see blood.

Final tip, don’t just approach the deer. You want to check if the eyes are open or closed. If the eyes open then the deer is most likely dead but still be careful and if the eyes are closed it means the deer is still alive and you may need to shoot it again. Always remember to be careful when approaching a deer as many hunters have had a deer jump and run and the deer can hurt you too.

Now that you have the tips to help you be successful in your hunt for your injured deer, get the most out of your hunt and always use your best judgment when tracking a deer or when would be the best time to start tracking. Good luck on the hunt and, as always, stay safe and know your target and what’s behind it.

Everyone experiences certain great days, many average and some that may not be as great as we would like! The primary reality of life is, though often life is not a plate of cherries, it’s almost always up to you to create your best experiences. There will always be certain obstacles in our way, because, as Murphy’s Law says, things will go wrong in any situation, if you give them a chance, or more commonly said, what can go wrong will go wrong. Our happiness and general well-being, therefore, largely depends on how we manage them. Are you prepared to give yourself a checkup, from the neck up, in an introspective, objective way? Do you see the glass half full or half empty? When obstacles arise, do you perceive them as problematic or as a challenge to overcome? In other words, it is often about the quality of your attitude, and whether you prepare to proceed, in a positive way, which you can do, or debilitating and negative! With that in mind, this article will briefly attempt to consider, examine, review, and discuss the difference between perceiving obstacles as problems or challenges, and why/how it matters and differs.

1. Problem/ pessimism – and – fatality: You’re a, The sky is falling Type? When something happens, as it often does, do you weaken yourself and let it control your behavior, etc.? When we focus on potential problems, we often fail to do, in a well-considered and timely manner, what we need to do, and proceed to procrastinate when timely, necessary, and wise action is needed. Consider how it makes you feel when you do this. Does it benefit you in any way, other than perhaps a period of denial and delay in the short term, in the long term, or is it relevant and sustainable?

two. Challenges / positive and proactive approach: If you conceive and perceive each obstacle as a challenge, you will position yourself to become stronger, better and more capable, to adapt to whatever life throws your way. Think about how you feel when you think of a challenge, instead of a problem! Do you think that our great athletes allow themselves to be controlled by any circumstance, in a negative way? The best always want to take the last hit and accept the challenges! When Michael Jordan needed to make a shot, he visualized the ball going through the rim and winning the game. The best golfers always see the ball rolling towards the hole, instead of emphasizing the risks of obstacles and traps, in front of the green.

You can let obstacles become empowering or damaging experiences! It’s always up to you!

After the Notebook event in October, hopes of Apple launching a netbook seemed to fade. Steve Jobs said during a question and answer session that “we’ll see how it goes.” At the time of that announcement, Jobs said the market was too small.

But you have to wonder if Apple was telling the whole truth or not. Steve may have been right in saying they weren’t going to release one NOW [at the time of the event, October 14th] but who knows how far away that technology is. The technology is there, they have created the Macbook Air which is smaller and lighter compared to their other laptops, it’s just a matter of when Apple will bring it up to their standards.

Besides technology, I think another factor in your comments is that Apple never wants to take sales away from its own products. Why tell people a netbook is coming soon, when you can tell them to buy a Macbook and then launch the netbook in a few months? [or Macbook Mini]. Now, I’m not saying this is a bad thing, or that Apple is a liar and shouldn’t be trusted, in fact, it’s a good deal. Apple’s business model is pretty impressive, considering you can’t go anywhere without seeing, hearing, talking, breathing i-Something. Therefore, waiting for the netbook to usher in its new product line is a piece of cake for them.

You could also argue that the $999 Macbook IS a [high-end] netbook Okay, it’s bigger, bulkier and more expensive than your typical netbook, it has the same functionality [and more] while still costing much less than a typical Apple laptop.

As Apple updates its laptops to look more like the Macbook Air [and iMac], I think there is immense potential to optimize the ENTIRE product line of Apple. Right now, the iPod has Shuffle, Nano, Classic, and Touch; laptops are: Macbook, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air; and the desktops are: Mac Pro, iMac and Mac Mini. Now, there are a lot of names that cross over between these product lines, and while I don’t think it’s that confusing, I do think they could use better strategies to condense them into simpler categories.

Ever since Apple released their first iMac, they have been trying to serve two types of customers, the heavy users, the power users, and the average user. Since then, Apple has expanded its reach, offering many different models in between, to suit any type of user. They have created models both below and above their flagship products that do this very well. But I think with all these different models and names, it’s a bit scruffy.

To combat this, Apple could relaunch an entirely new level system. This would create a bridge between product lines and create an easier checkout system for those looking to purchase a product in a different line. Like Apple has been doing, it would integrate this new aluminum body color scheme with black accents into all of its products. [including black key’s on keyboards]. From your desktops, monitors, laptops, to iPods. The only exception is for the iPod Nano, which would be the entry-level iPod and comes in many colors. [as it does now]. Not only would the color scheme match, but the overall product lines would intertwine. My proposal would be to create a four-tier product system along the three lines:

*Elder brother

-The iPod Nano is one of the best-selling iPods of all time. With a flexible amount of storage for a small price, it’s a great entry-level product. This would mean the removal of the iPod Shuffle, unless they keep it as a separate entity.

-The Macbook Nano would be Apple’s first netbook. I mentioned an Apple netbook earlier, so there’s not much more to say. It would take the same aluminum case as today’s Macbook, just an 8-93 screen, no superdrive, far fewer ports [maybe 2 USB, 1 mini-display, headphone/microphone].

-The Mac Nano [or Mac Mini] it would remain, for the most part, the same. Obviously it would be great for some spec bumps, but not too much to interfere with the iMac.

* ‘Classic’

-The classic iPod [or just iPod (6G)] it would be more similar to earlier versions of the iPod. With a price between 200-250, it would be 40-60 GB [being a good mid-range iPod].

-The iMac is a great desktop product that doesn’t need to be changed. Don’t fix what isn’t broken.

-The MacBook [or iBook] it’s a lot like the iMac in that it doesn’t need too many modifications.

* Professional

-The iPod Pro is something like a launch. Apple could use this as its large-storage iPod [100GB+] and leave iPod classic at 40-60GB, or they could do something completely revolutionary like iPod nano and introduce an accelerometer for tilt functionality.

-The Macbook Pro would stay the same. Keeping the same look it has now. [aluminum with black surrounding screen].

-The Mac Pro would stay the same. Possibly it will get a new case with black accents around it.

* Play

-The iPod Touch would stay the same.

-The Macbook Touch would be Apple’s entry into the tablet market. Running on an advanced iPhone OS, it would be much the same as the Macbook Nano in size, but it would be a single piece with a full touch screen. The potential includes external buttons similar to those on the iPhone/iPod Touch, such as a volume rocker, a standby button [to lock the screen, requiring a password upon entry]and a Home button to return to the desktop. The operating system would be a fusion of OSX and iPhone OS, using icons/applications similar to those of the iPhone. [wouldn’t have any sort of iLife or iWork]but with a start menu and toolbar like OSX.

-The iMac Touch would be Apple’s first touchscreen desktop. Maintaining a similar design, the screen would be a standard 243, and it would be a full touch screen. Optionally, you can get a wired/wireless keyboard/powerful mouse, but it would not be included in the package. It would be able to run a full version of OSX [with touch controls, much like 2, 3, and 4 finger gestures on Macbooks now]. Not many changes need to be made with the current iMac, aside from including a full-screen touchscreen as well as an updated operating system.

*Other

-The iPhone would stay the same. Potentially an introduction of a smaller iPhone [either size-wise like what Walmart is doing, or in physical dimensions and capacity].

-The iPod Shuffle would remain as a standalone product for the extreme casual consumer or be discontinued.

-The Apple TV would stay the same.

-Apple screens would now be all LED [19″, 23″, and 30″] and they all take on the look of the new 233 LED screen.

Now I know that this is a radical change that would take a long time. [not in one event] but I think this would really bring the Apple community together. By dividing your products into groups, it would be easier for new users to “fit” into a group and see what works best for them. Each of the above products would have their own customization and sizing options just like now. A lot of the things I mentioned above are new technologies that I think Apple will eventually implement, so why not do it in style?

For the record, ALL of this is just a ‘wish list’ and has little to no basis in any fact. If you’re inspired by what you read, please leave a comment about what you think Apple should do. Do you think they will make a touch screen laptop, desktop or netbook? Leave me comments on what you think! I hope you enjoyed reading, and if you did, why don’t you think about subscribing?
