		<description>John,

Apple has already developed the app you need - it&#039;s called Safari.

You shouldn&#039;t waste your time and money developing any proprietary-platform-dependent app when all you need to do is to create a mobile-friendly version of your website.  This can be accomplished with a little CSS3, CSS media queries, and setting up multiple style sheets for various device resolutions.  It&#039;s possible this could be applied to your existing site with only minimal changes to your core markup.  If you&#039;re up for a more thorough rebuild of your site&#039;s front-end, I&#039;d recommend an html5 framework called &quot;320 and up&quot; (you can google it).

Since most smart devices come with mobile web browsers, the apps are pre-installed, and just waiting for you to optimize your existing site content for mobile.  Besides, you&#039;ll save yourself a lot of money, time and HEADACHES by NOT dealing with the Itunes store - and I&#039;m speaking from experience.

Good luck!</description>

		<description>John,

I use a Mac and have done so for 25 years. I do have a few programs that I must use that run on Windows. So I use Parallels software which allows you to run virtual Windows 7 in a window on your mac. You can use that to utilize the Auction Intelligence software and then just export it in a format to use on the Mac applications.

The iPad app is a natural. There were a half dozen of us using one at the Dallas Tradoree. Some were using spreadsheet checklists while others were using OAimages.com on a browser. I guarantee that the App would be a hit. You could sell a bunch at $1.99 but frequent users would pay $4.99 without blinking. Many apps give away a FREE version and charge a few bucks for an upgrade to a more power version. That model might work very well for you. It would bring you a lot of casual browsers and enable power users an easy way to pay you for a power version with all the extras.</description>

		<description>John,
One other nice option would be to be able to pull up all of the varieties of a single flap (S1a, 1b, 1c)  on a single screen (with the descriptions) so we can validate if the flap in front of us is the variation we need or has been misidentified.</description>

		<description>I look forward to see what results in a new lodge.  Does anyone know what is going on in Wisconsin?  It seems I heard there is to be either a council merger or a council being absorbed.</description>

		<description>The Tahquitz name is the one name that is not under consideration, for the very reasons John mentions in his post.  The Tribe of Tahquitz has an 86+ year history with the LBAC and we will not infringe upon it.  

Look to the name to be representive of the local area/tribe/features etc. Our hope is that our lodge will have a long and meaningful relationship with our youth, council, community and the OA family of lodges.</description>

		<description>I agree with you, Jeff. To me that seems to be an obvious choice except for two possible complications:  The Tribe of Tahquitz is going to remain active and the name was previously used (Tahquitz 127).

It will be interesting to see what&#039;s decided.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been trying to come up with a way to update the price guide regularly again.   The switch to a Mac has posed a problem.  

I used to use Auction Intelligence.  The process I had revolved around that.   Scripts were set up to deal with the files I would work with and export from that program.  Alas, there is not a Mac version of this.   I have not yet been able to find a MacOS alternative.

Does anyone know a good alternative for pulling auction data?

I really don&#039;t want to do it, but the fallback position could be to run Auction Intelligence on my aging laptop, export the raw data, and then do what work I need to do with it on the Mac.</description>

		<description>John,
While I haven&#039;t fully gone over to the dark side (I do own a touch) hopefully you could port the ap over to the Android Market too.  There are now a large number of Amazon Kindle Fires at less than 1/2 the price of the Ipad.

Amazon just added a send to Kindle Ap so it is easy to send need and dupe list documents (as word or PDF files) to your Kindle.  You can also send jpgs of needs.

What would be useful and more work for you would be updated pricing data.

Count me in if the app would work on a device I own.</description>

		<description>I think this is a fantastic idea!  I&#039;ve never done development on apps, but I&#039;m told there&#039;s a robust forum of folks who can walk you through any development issues.  It shouldn&#039;t be hard for someone with your technical acumen.

An iPad/iPhone/iPod app would be VERY useful at TOR&#039;s.  It&#039;d be one stop shopping instead of having to pull up images in the browser and adjust size, etc.  For cost, don&#039;t sell yourself short.  I think a lot of us would pay a decent amount of money for a quality OAImages app.</description>

		<description>Jason, you&#039;ve put together an excellent source!  For some years now I&#039;ve avoided any auction with a hint of being from another country.  Just not worth the risk.  Often times, these fakes just don&#039;t &quot;look&quot; right - thread too glossy or flat imaging, etc.  I guess they figure it out and now just outright lie and use someone elses image of the real thing.

We&#039;ve noticed lately several fake 413 J series Vigil blanket triangles being offed.  The sellers are marking them as fakes so they are being honest, but I have to wonder where these all originated since Lodge 413 was never a very big lodge, and only four orders of 50 patches were produced in a 25 year period!</description>
