Senate Fails to Pass Medical Marijuana; fix Decriminalization Law
ALBANY, NY — The New York Senate failed to act on two Assembly-approved marijuana reform bills before lawmakers adjourned for the 2013 session Thursday.
Senators in the New York Legislature adjourned for the 2013 session without voting on a heavily supported medical marijuana bill or addressing a bill that would have fixed loopholes in the state's decades-old marijuana decriminalization law that allows police to arrest people for having marijuana in "public view."
Assembly Bill 6357, the Compassionate Care Act, which would have allowed the medical use of marijuana by qualified patients in New York, was passed by the Assembly by a 95-38 vote in early June. The Senate failed to act on the identical companion bill, Senate Bill 4406, forcing New Yorkers with cancer, HIV, post-traumatic stress, arthritis, diabetes, or epilepsy to wait at least another year before being able to access medical marijuana.
Under the failed legislation, state-registered patients diagnosed with one of over a dozen serious medical conditions would have been allowed to possess up to 2 and one-half ounces of medical marijuana. The bills would have created one of the nation's most tightly regulated medical marijuana dispensary programs.
The bill had the support of hundreds of patients and providers and dozens of organizations across the state, as well as wide support from healthcare providers and organizations, such as the New York State Nurses Association, the Collaborative for Palliative Care, GMHC, New York State Pharmacists Society, NY Physicians for Compassionate Care, and the Hospice and Palliative Care Association of New York.
This is the fourth time that the New York Assembly has passed medical marijuana legislation, only to see it die in the Senate. Despite broad support, inducing a recent Siena Poll found that an overwhelming 82% of New York voters support medical marijuana, the Senate has never allowed medical marijuana legislation to come to the floor for a vote.
New York Senators also failed to a vote on a bill that will end the biased and costly practices of falsely arresting tens of thousands of people in New York for low-level marijuana possession before the end of the legislative session Thursday, failing to put an end to a controversial police practice that has cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars.
Under the state's 1977 marijuana decriminalization law, private possession of up to 25 grams of marijuana is a non-criminal citation, punishable by a $100 fine. However, the possession of any amount of marijuana in "public view" remains a criminal misdemeanor.
The bill, Assembly Bill 6716 and its identical companion Senate Bill 3105, was passed by the Assembly in May with a strong, bi-partisan vote.
The proposal, supported by Governor Andrew Cuomo, who used his 2013 State of the State Address to outline the measure, would have decriminalized possessing up to 15 grams of marijuana in public view, while smoking in public would remain a misdemeanor.
A report released by the ACLU earlier this month found that there are more marijuana possession arrests in NY than in any other state. In 2010, NY made nearly 104,000 marijuana possession arrests, making it the number one state in the country for such arrests.
Since 2002, nearly 500,000 million people have been arrested in New York for marijuana possession – the vast majority of those arrests (440,000) took place in New York City. Last year alone in the City, there were nearly 40,000 such arrests, far exceeding the total marijuana arrests in NYC from 1981-1995.
These arrests cost the state over $675 million dollars in enforcement expenditures. A separate report released earlier this year found that the NYPD had spent one million hours making these arrests over the past decade.
The bill had been supported by community organizations throughout the state, Gov. Cuomo, bi-partisan state legislators in the Assembly, New York Mayor Bloomberg, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, all five NYC District Attorneys, and law enforcement from Long Island, Buffalo, and Albany.
The New York Times, the Daily News, the New York Post, the Syracuse Times-Standard, and the Buffalo News are among the papers that have written editorials in support the of the reform.

Review by
Michael from Bayville, NJ
I originally ordered this device to replace a faulty CD player and tape deck that originally came with my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. For a replacement radio, it did what it had to do. I wouldn't say that it is overall top of the line or anything, but coming from a pair of head units that both went faulty, I'll consider that a plus. Having the aux jack and USB hookup for the iPod came in handy as well, and the overall installation wasn't bad either.
Satellie radio would've been nice, but you get what you pay for. And for the bright blue LED, well... thats what they provide the orange wires for on the wiring kit... so you can LOWER it with your dimmer that comes preinstalled in the car. People should learn how to read and know what they're talking about before making ridiculous comments on here.

Well, I got my pattern fixed for the Mushroom Business Card Holder. So, if you'd like to make your very own, TOTALLY cool, business card holder, the directions are good to go. Unfortunately, I spent the afternoon fixing the pattern and didn't get a chance to remake mine. But as soon as I finish this blog, I'm off to work on mine. Actually, Michelle put in a request for a red and white mushroom one, so I'll probably do that one first! The pattern for the Mushroom Business Card Holder can be found HERE or with the FREE Patterns. Enjoy! Read more
For a totally unique and fun business card holder, make our Mushroom! The mushroom cap is on the top flap and the stem remains on the lower portion. The finished size is approximately 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" and will hold standard sized business cards. Make one for yourself and several for gift giving.
When you're creative, nothing in your life needs to be boring. Here is a totally fun glass case that would be equally comfortable hanging out with an adult or child. Crafted from soft felt and flannel, adorable through and through, if you don't wear glasses, you're going to wish you did!
Toilet paper rolls Crafting glue Twine Clips Yarn needle Basket
It's summertime. Time to head outside and find a shady patch of grass to stretch out on. It's also a great time to grab your crafting supplies and "while away the hours" drawing birds and butterflies, clouds and clover. Although I like the roll-up colored pencil holders, I personally am too impatient to take the pencils in and out of their snug little niches. If you look at my own crafting table, pencils and pens, rulers and scissors, are all sticking out of containers making easy access and storage.
So, I wanted to create a very simple, but organized, take-along craft basket that was sturdy, easy to use, and earthy. I began by finding a cute basket at Joann's. I was looking for a small basket, that was sturdy and deep enough to stop crafting supplies from spilling out if being carried by a wee one. I only buy baskets when they are 50% off, and I got this beauty for $4.00. I was pleased!
To make the pencil holders, I hit my toilet paper roll stash, slathered them with crafting glue, and wrapped twine around them. For a more detailed and pictorial view of wrapping the pencil holders, ...Read more
I love going on walk-abouts with children. EVERYTHING is so fascinating to them. Bugs and rocks, fungus and tracks captivate their imagination and provide fodder for an insurmountable barrage of questions. And I've yet to go on a nature walk with a child who has not found some priceless treasure. Sparkly rocks, a cardinal feather, and a miniature pinecone are too precious to leave behind. While walking with the grandbabies yesterday, I noticed Fairy had picked up the front of her dress and was using it as a makeshift sack. Although clever, every time she needed two hands to do something, her treasures tumbled to the ground. They need bigger pockets!Read more

Things seem really lush to have Tulips blooming too. If I remember correctly, the last time I planted tulips here they arrived colorfully beautiful well ahead of all the rest, standing lonely guard over the warmer weather coming! |

Back in the day, a television "viewing party" was for watching the Academy Awards, Super Bowl or some kind of entertainment on the tube. But a viewing party for immigration reform?
Let's try it again, Cupertino
Say the words "general plan'' and a thick film glazes over the eyes of most voters. But while the valley's economy is on fire, the decisions about where to put housing and commercial development matter hugely. That's why a so-called "straw vote'' that the Cupertino City Council took after a Nov. 10 hearing on where to allow new housing and office development would have had profound effect on the city's future. Almost any change irritates someone.
Now, however, it looks like the council is set for a do-over. Because of a noticing problem on the city's website — the agenda referred incorrectly to the meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10 rather than Monday, Nov. 10 — the council ran afoul of the Brown Act, the state's open meetings law. In response to a complaint by a sharp-eyed website watcher, the council has rescheduled the hearing for Dec. 2. The council is expected to rescind the actions it took at the Nov. 10 meeting.
All of which might be just one of the ordinary pains of democracy. But there is a political dimension to this one as well. The council will have two newly elected members, Darcy Paul and Savita Vaidhyanathan, at its Dec. 2 meeting.
Politics is a blood sport
It's often said that politics is a blood sport, but a Milpitas City Council candidate seemed to put a literal take on the old saying. Rajeev Madnawat, an intellectual property attorney, is among eight contenders vying for two council seats in the November election. He is upset that outgoing Councilman Armando Gomez is supporting rival candidates Deepka Lalwani and Marsha Grilli.
But an email Madnawat shot off to Gomez at 8:42 p.m. Oct. 24 made even the veteran councilman, whose day job is overseeing San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed's budget, blanch. Continue Reading
Gadfly unites divided Santa Clara Unified trustees
Rowen alleges that a conflict of interest taints the district's dealings with Magnolia Science Academy, a charter school that leases its space from the district. School trustee Michele Ryan works as Magnolia's middle school dean of academics, and until last month board President Christine Koltermann was a substitute teacher there.
Santa Clara irks some by letting 49ers slide on playing McDonald
City officials in Santa Clara, the new home of the 49ers, have found themselves in the middle of the NFL's domestic violence controversy – and some leaders inside and outside City Hall think the city is letting the Niners off the hook.
The issue came up because the Niners have chosen to play defensive lineman Ray McDonald despite being arrested by San Jose police on suspicion of felony domestic violence on Aug. 31. It comes amid several other high-profile NFL domestic violence cases, most notably the video that appeared to show ex-Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching out his fiancée, leading to nationwide outcry.
Next Door Solutions, a San Jose-based group that supports domestic violence victims, asked the Santa Clara City Council a week ago to adopt a resolution condemning the Niners for playing McDonald. Continue Reading
A Paul Fong miscue?
One of the fundamental rules of political attack ads is that they should be accurate — or at least have enough behind them that they can be argued to be accurate. By that standard, Paul Fong's San Jose's city council campaign flubbed an email to supporters Monday. Even worse, it injected the volatility of the Mideast in a local race.
A bit of background: Fong's opponent, neighborhood leader Chappie Jones, put out a comparison piece recently that took issue with Fong's recent move into San Jose from Cupertino. That prompted Fong's campaign to send out a note to contributors that accused Jones' campaign consultant, Victor Ajlouny, of running negative campaigns:
"Ajlouny is a top Republican consultant and Palestinian activist, who served as a high-ranking member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in the 1990s, and is known for his political attacks,'' the Fong appeal said. Continue Reading
Blue Shield criticized for Levi's Stadium skybox
(This item is cross-posted from the Political Blotter.)
The campaign for a ballot measure to let the state insurance commissioner veto health insurance rate hikes is pointing to Blue Shield of California's pricey luxury skybox at the new Levis's Stadium as a sign that insurers' spending is out of control.
Consumer Watchdog and the Yes on 45 campaign sent a letter Tuesday to California Attorney General Kamala Harris urging her to investigate "Blue Shield's abuse of its non-profit status" and crack down on its spending.
The letter cites a San Francisco Chronicle article which said suites of the type that Blue Shield got at the San Francisco 49ers' new home are "priced at between $250,000 and $400,000 a year and require a 10- or 20-year commitment. That puts the price at anywhere from $2.5 million to $8 million." Continue Reading
A power duo splits up
For more than a decade now, the husband-and-wife team of Christopher Stampolis and Anna Song have been a power duo in Santa Clara politics. Stampolis, 48, is a member of the Santa Clara Unified school board, and Song, 46, is a long-time member of the Santa Clara County board of education. Both have been president of the Mission City Democratic Club. And both have stirred controversy: Stampolis and three other board members were the target of a no-confidence petition a year ago, and Song has had to fend off attacks from the proponents of charter schools. Politically, the two have been staunch allies. Continue Reading
A job for one…
Santa Clara University may have a teaching job for you — if your name is Michael S. Malone.
A recent online job posting for an adjunct lecturer in the English department read more like the biography of the Silicon Valley author:
"The successful applicant will have at least 25 books on topics ranging from the history of Silicon Valley to the biography of micro-processing to interviews with entrepreneurs to the history of human and mechanical memory."
Also in the job description: E-books "on topics such as home life in the UK," experience in print and magazine journalism, the cofounding of at least two startups, and professional connections to Oxford.
Wait, it is Malone's bio! Continue Reading
Santa Clara's big new project and its back story
If you hadn't noticed, it's boom time for developers in Santa Clara. One of the densest projects approved recently by the city council is the 825-unit Monticello Village, a mixed-use development on the site of the Extreme Networks campus on Monroe Street, close to Lawrence Expressway. The developer, the Irvine Company, bought the 16-acre property in September, 2012 for a reported $46 million.
What makes this one interesting is the back story. In early March, a vice-president for the Irvine Co., Jon Paynter, wrote to City Manager Julio Fuentes with an intriguing offer. If the city would approve the Monticello project — and litigation challenges were resolved — Irvine would donate $1 million toward BAREC senior housing, a project on the other side of town that has been hampered by the disappearance of the city's redevelopment agency.

Promotions after the Achilli case
Any veteran law enforcement officer will tell you that making arrests and securing convictions in a big, headline-grabbing case does no harm to a career. In Los Gatos, there has been no bigger case over the last decade than the March, 2008 killing of businessman Mark Achilli, who was shot eight times outside his Los Gatos town home. A full-court press by Los Gatos police, a regional task force and the DA's office resulted in the 2010 murder-for-hire conviction of restaurateur Paul Garcia. Police said he ordered the killing because he was jealous of Achilli, who was dating Garcia's sometime-girlfriend, Tessa Donnelly. Four other men were also convicted in the scheme.
The law enforcement figures in that case have done well since. Continue Reading
Endorsements from the hereafter
Dominic Caserta is running this fall to rejoin the Santa Clara City Council in Seat 5 with the blessing of retiring incumbent Patricia Mahan. And in his rush to get some early real estate in cyberspace, his campaign posted what ended up as a long and curious list of other endorsements.
Among them: senior advisory commissioners Patrick Driscoll and Edward L. Murphy, and former Mountain View mayor and Assemblyman Victor Calvo. Mr. Driscoll passed away some five years ago, which Caserta must have known. In his previous stint on the council he joined in its unanimous Oct. 27, 2009 vote to adjourn that evening's council meeting in Mr. Driscoll's memory.
A Lima Family Santa Clara Mortuary obituary tells us Mr. Murphy died in January 2012. And the obituary pages tell us Mr. Calvo went to his eternal rest in October 2010. Continue Reading

HoopsHype Shane Battier rumors
Shane Battier announced Thursday that he again will host his signature karaoke event in South Florida, with Battioke scheduled for March 3. The event, which previously has included the likes of Pat Riley, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh warbling contemporary and timeless songs, will be held at the Fillmore Miami Beach. South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Alex Kennedy: Shane Battier said Jahlil Okafor reminds him of Tim Duncan. Back in high school, @BigJah15 told me he studies Duncan and Hakeem Olajuwon. Twitter @AlexKennedyNBA
"Okafor's got some pretty good size and he doesn't know how big he is yet. But he's got tremendous skill… He does a great job of passing out of the post, which is a lost art. He reminds me of Tim Duncan, who I think is the best post passer in the NBA right now," ESPN college basketball analyst Shane Battier, a two-time NBA champion, told SNY.tv. ZagsBlog.com
"He'll be a player," Battier said. "He'll be an offensive force to be reckoned with. He needs to learn how to play defense. And in college the rules are really disadvantageous toward big guys. You're not really allowed to be physical as a big defender. Any physical play you're going to foul out. You're allowed to be a lot more physical in the NBA, but he'll figure that out. What you can't teach is the soft hands and the touch and the ambidextrous nature of his game. So he'll be a good player for a long time." ZagsBlog.com
Battier is having too much fun as a former basketball player to consider returning to his playing days. "I'm enjoying life right now," Battier said. "I'm enjoying working on my golf swing. You never say never but it would take a lot [to come back.]" Battier, who played three seasons with the Heat, still lives in Miami. South Florida Sun-Sentinel
"I think people look at Daryl as a guy who is playing NBA2K15 with his roster," Battier, who is now retired, told USA TODAY Sports. "Now Daryl would be the first to tell you, 'Look, I am about improving my team in every way possible and I'm going to do it in a way that makes sense for this organization.' But if you gave truth serum to every (general manager), that's what they would tell you. Daryl is a little more forthcoming with his motivations. "I think Daryl's background as an MIT guy, a Northwestern guy works against him. And then again, people feel he's cold and calculating and doesn't have a heart. I enjoyed my conversations with Daryl. He's one of the smartest people I've come to know in sports. We've always had a great personal relationship." USA Today Sports
The Heat had Shane Battier to guard power forwards so LeBron wouldn't have to all the time. And Battier could shoot 3s. Can you envision Anthony Bennett as sort of a bigger Battier in that same role? I'm really happy with the way Anthony has come to our camp. He's worked extremely hard, has improved his body, has improved his approach. He's maturing. He's on the right track. We're gonna see what we can do with him. But does he fit that Battier role? I think that's a pretty fair assumption. Grantland
Shane Battier: I will always be a Heatle. RT @Faatimaa_11: @ShaneBattier Will you miss the Heat family? Twitter @ShaneBattier
Recently retired forward Shane Battier has reached a multiyear agreement to join ESPN as a men's college basketball analyst. Battier won an NCAA title at Duke in 2001, when he was named the most outstanding player in the Final Four. He just wrapped up his 13th NBA season, the last three of which were spent with the Miami Heat, with whom he won two championships. ESPN.com
Shane Battier: Extra special to win titles with @Micky Arison.Between you, me, and Nick we don't make too shabby of a team. Thanks for bringing me to Miami! Twitter @ShaneBattier
Side by side in the Heat locker room afterward, Ray Allen and Shane Battier dressed after a game for perhaps the last time. These are two pros who helped create the fabric of this team. It's been known for a while Battier is retiring. "I've given all I can to the game,'' he said. "I can't give anymore. I'm OK." South Florida Sun-Sentinel
"He literally changed my shot and changed my life, not to be too cliché," Battier said. "He said, 'Look, you want to make it to the league, you're going to have to make some changes.' So we basically reconstructed my shot and the rest, as they say, is history." New York Times
Ben Bolch: Shane Battier credited Spurs assistant Chip Engelland with making him an NBA player by fixing his shot when he was a freshman at Duke. Shane Battier said he made 4/24 threes and Engelland said, 'Look, if you want to be a player, you have to learn how to shoot the right way." Chip Engelland went on to be a personal coach for Shane Battier his first few years in NBA before landing an assistant job. Twitter @latbbolch
This is when they knew a snowstorm became an avalanche. "Happened at a restaurant's urinal,'' Heat forward Shane Battier said. A urinal? "There was this ovation as I walked through [the restaurant] to the rest room after our win [Friday night], which was nice,'' Battier said. "Then when I'm at the urinal guys are asking if they can take their picture with me." South Florida Sun-Sentinel
What decisions to expect this summer, that's another story. "We still don't know," Battier said. "It's hard to explain with our group. We have a bunch of guys that sort of go with the flow. I think when the Big 3 signed here there was talk of legacy and there was talk of history. That's all academic at that point. Once you put the uniform on it's about competing your tail off and putting yourself in position to win, which we have." USA Today Sports

3 jailed for poaching in Limpopo
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - Three men have been convicted and jailed for poaching by the Modimolle Regional Court in Limpopo, the Hawks said on Friday.
Mozambicans Davida Mbendani, 41, Amos Mabaso, 40, and Shadrack Membe, 38, were sentenced on Monday to a combined total of 11 years in prison, said Captain Paul Ramaloko.
Mbendani and Mabaso were jailed for three years each. Membe was sentenced to five years behind bars.
This was after these guys were caught in the act of poaching in April 2011, at Welgevonden Game Farm, in Vaalwater in Limpopo," said Ramaloko.
"One hunting rifle was confiscated. They were arrested before they could kill any rhino."
The head of the Hawks in Limpopo, Major General Dibero Molatjana, said this was a clear message that the Hawks in the province would not stop until they got to the bottom of all poaching in the province.

Verizon has officially announced the impending launch of its shared data plans on June 28, and at first glance, they make look a little confusing:
The reality is much simpler (check out this PDF - it's better). The "Share Everything" plan, as it's called, starts out on the premise that you are required to choose unlimited voice and text messaging. Not bad.
Then, you're required to select a data plan based on your needs. If, for example, you have 2 subscribers on your line, 4GB is probably a good place to start. That sets your baseline bill at $70. Then, you calculate the total cost of the bill with the number of connected devices you'll be using on the network.

Silver Grant International (171) Industries Ltd., a Chinese bad-debt investor part-owned by Citigroup Inc. (C:US), said first-half profit fell 6.3 percent on less gain from loan disposals.
Net income decreased to HK$333 million ($43 million), or 14.8 Hong Kong cents, for the six months to June 30 from HK$355 million, or 17.3 Hong Kong cents, a year earlier, the Hong Kong- based company said in a statement today. Revenue rose 77 percent to HK$528 million because of gains from equity investments.
Silver Grant competes with overseas investors such as Avenue Capital Group and UBS AG to buy non-performing loans from China's four state-owned bad-debt managers, betting it can profit from a potential rise in the value of underlying assets. The profit drop came after the company failed to make any major acquisitions this year, said analyst Daisy Zhang.
``The company didn't have much opportunity to buy new loans because the four asset management companies haven't made much progress selling their NPLs,'' said Zhang, a Shanghai-based analyst at UOB Kay Hian Investment Consulting Co., before the announcement. ``Its revenue depends mainly on the Huarong portfolio it bought last year.''
China Construction Bank Gain
Silver Grant had a HK$143 million fall in revenue from its distressed business, the statement said. It sold shares in China Construction Bank bought during the initial public offer last October, generating a one-off gain of HK$369 million and offsetting most of the decline in its core operations. Stock in China's fourth-biggest lender rose 31 percent in the first half.
Silver Grant and Citigroup together bought distressed loans with a face value of 36.4 billion yuan from China Huarong Asset Management Corp. last November. The company didn't make any announcement on additional purchases after the deal.
Huarong and the other three managers -- China Cinda Asset Management Corp., China Great Wall Asset Management Corp. and China Orient Asset have bought more than 2.6 trillion yuan of loans from the nation's four biggest lenders and China Development Bank after they were set up in 1999.
Of the 1.4 trillion yuan of loans the four companies have to resolve by the end of the year, they managed to dispose of 866 billion yuan of them and recovered 181 billion yuan in cash as of March 31, according to the banking regulator.
``If the asset managers don't speed up disposals, Silver Grant's business will be further affected,'' said Zhang, who has a ``sell'' rating on the company's stock.
Cinda holds 32 percent of Silver Grant and Citigroup has an 18.5 percent stake, according to the company's 2005 annual report. The company didn't offer an interim dividend, the same as last year.
Its shares fell 3.82 percent to close at HK$2.02 today. They have lost 12 percent this year, against a 15 percent increase for the benchmark Hang Seng Index.

OK, so as you may recall the Median filter averages pixels inside of an image in order to create a heightened smoothing effect essentially and it is little bit of overkill, but you can mitigate that as you will see. Then the Dust & Scratches filter will go ahead and average the high contrast areas while leaving the low contrast areas alone. So it leaves the film grain and the digital noise, it leaves that stuff alone, while it gets rid of the details inside the image. We need something that is the opposite of Dust & Scratches where sharpening is concerned. If we are preparing the image for sharpening, we need to get rid of the low contract stuff, smooth it away, and leave the high contrast stuff intact.
And there are examples of filters like that, it is just not obvious. I am going to go ahead and cancel out of Dust & Scratches here. I am still working inside the Sammy shake.jpeg image. That is found inside the 03 Sharpen Filters Folder, because it is an image that we worked with in the last chapter as well. I am going to go up to the Filter menu and I am going to choose Blur and I am going to choose one of my least favorite commands in Photoshop, which is Smart Blur. The reason I do not like it- Now it does do what I just told you, OK. It smoothes away the low contrast details such as film grain and such as digital noise and it leaves the high contrast details, the really good details inside the image alone.
So that is good. The way it works is just nuts. So I am going to go ahead and choose the command. First of all, you can not preview the effect in a larger image window, which basically reduces its utility by a factor of twenty. I swear, because it is just not very helpful. You have to look at this tiny preview, this reduced size preview inside the dialog box. So I am going to drag it over a little bit. So that we can see Sammy's eye right there and you can see what it is doing. With a Radius value of 12 and a Threshold of 12, it is going through and averaging the information inside of the image and it is leaving- basically what it is doing, with this Threshold value, it is saying that any 2 pixels that are 12 luminance levels or less different from each other, go ahead and smooth those away and any 2 neighboring pixels that are 12 luminance levels or more different from each other, leave those differences intact.
So that is what we want and this is an averaging filter, by the way, even though it is located under the Blur menu, it is an averaging filter. So it really belongs under the Noise menu. Now you can fool around with those if you want to, but for this image, I am going to go ahead and use 12 and 12, which are the last settings that I applied. They are not the default settings. You can switch this mode to these other bizarre settings here; like Edge Only will do that and then you have Overlay Edge which mixes the two together. I will go ahead and set this back to Normal. Now High Quality, which is not the default setting, Low Quality is the default setting, my tests show that High Quality actually delivers the least desirable results and it takes the most time to pull off.
Low Quality is faster and gives you smoother results. So I am going to stick with Low Quality and then I am going to click OK. So now you can get good results out of that filter; it is not that the filter is inherently bad. What it does is not necessarily bad, just the way it is implemented is crazy. But notice it did a good thing to our image. It went ahead smoothed away all of the noise inside of the image and it left behind the good details. So if I were to follow this up with a Smart Sharpen by going up to the Filter menu and choosing Sharpen and choosing Smart Sharpen right here, we would actually get potentially a half way decent result.
Now right now I have the Amount value cranked way too high. So I am going to go ahead and take that value down to lets say 200%, things are going to look better and then I will click OK in order to accept that modification and then I might follow it up once again. I will press Ctrl+Shift+F or Command+Shift+F on the Mac to bring up the Fade command. I will change the mode to Luminosity in order to get rid of any of the weird color stuff that I was bringing out and I probably reduce the Opacity value as well to something like 50% and then click OK. So given that I really have not done anything selective to this image, I just went ahead and accepted the results of the Smart Blur Filter, which is not really so smart as we just saw.
Then I accepted the result of the Smart Sharpen Filter, this is not a bad effect. It's not great, but it is not bad. Alright so let us go back, let me show you a better command I think for this purpose. I am going to go back to History and click on Open to restore the original version of this image and then I am going to go to the Filter menu, I am going to choose Blur and I am going to choose Surface Blur. Now the reason I am showing you this filter second, because it is the better of the two. It previews the image in the background, it does all the stuff we would expect from it, but it is a blurring function, it is not an averaging function.
So it is actually based on Gaussian Blur once again. Instead of averaging neighboring pixels, it is blurring them. So I will go ahead and choose Surface Blur and once again, it is saying, go ahead and apply Gaussian Blur with this Radius value here, ten pixels in my case because that is what I have entered, to any transitions that are in this case 8 luminance levels or less different from each other. If they are 8 luminance levels or more different from each other then do not blur. So once again it is the opposite of Dust & Scratches, except it is applying Gaussian Blur instead of Median.
If you still feel like it is doing too much damage, you might take that Threshold value down a couple of clicks and I am going to take it down to about 5 luminance levels here. So a Radius value of 10, Threshold of 5; that is still some pretty major blurring for this image, but I think it is going to work out pretty well. I can preview the effect in the background and it is a simple filter and it has got a bigger preview. It is a much better function in general. I will go ahead and click OK and then I might as well go ahead and follow it up with some Smart Sharpen. Go to the Sharpen Menu, choose the Smart Sharpen command and I will apply those exact same settings as we saw before.
So an Amount value of 200, Radius value of 4, Remove Lens Blur. Lets go ahead and click OK in order to accept that modification and this, of all the effects I have shown you so far, I think this is the most successful. So just for the sake of comparison, I will go ahead and press the F12 key, which reverts the image to its original appearance on disk. So this is the unsharpened version of Sammy, with all of its noise and blurry details intact and this, if I press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on the Mac, this is the sharpened version, thanks to a combination of Surface Blur and Smart Sharpen here inside Photoshop.

Frac Daddy, owned by Carter Stewart and Ken Schlenker of Magic City Thoroughbred Partners of Billings, drew the inside No. 1 post position for Saturday's 145th running of the Belmont Stakes in New York.
The draw for the 14-horse field was conducted on Wednesday morning. The 1 1/2 mile race -- which is the third leg of horse racing's Triple Crown races -- will be held at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y.
The 14 3-year-olds entered makes this the largest Belmont field since 1996. The purse is $1 million, with $600,000 going to the winner.
The Kentucky-bred Frac Daddy was given 30-1 odds of winning. He wasn't officially entered into the race until Monday, and arrived at Belmont Park on Tuesday.
Stewart said he was "very happy" with drawing the No. 1 slot, but he added that Scott Lindell, owner of the Won $800 Casinos in Billings and an "astute" race handicapper, told him that post position doesn't really matter too much at the Belmont because the race is so long.
"That may be the case, but it's the winningest (post) position in Belmont history, and hopefully we can keep that going," Stewart added.
Kentucky Derby winner Orb drew the No. 5 post and is the morning-line favorite at 3-1. Revolutionary, which will start from the No. 9 gate and was third in last month's Derby, is second at 9-2.
Preakness winner Oxbow drew the No. 7 post and has 5-1 odds of winning. Derby runnerup Golden Soul will begin from the No. 14 gate with odds of 10-1.
Post time for the Belmont Stakes is 4:36 p.m. (Mountain time). The race will be televised nationally on NBC.
Frac Daddy placed 16th out of the 19 thoroughbreds in the Derby on May 4. He started from the outside No. 18 gate at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.
The gray colt, who didn't run in the Preakness on May 18, is trained by Ken McPeek of Kentucky and will be ridden by Alan Garcia.
McPeek was also pleased about Frac Daddy being on the rail.
"We're sending from the inside," he noted at a press conference. "Absolutely. He needs to be near the front. We're sending."
This will be Frac Daddy's eighth career start. He has one win, along with three seconds.
Garcia was aboard for one of those seconds during a maiden race at Belmont Park last October.
Frac Daddy shares the longest odds at the Belmont Stakes along with fellow 30-1 shots Giant Finish (No. 4) and Midnight Taboo (No. 8).
Trainer Todd Pletcher has five horses entered, including Revolutionary and Unlimited Budget, who will attempt to become the fourth filly to win the Belmont.
Unlimited Budget, with Rosie Napravnik riding, is at 8-1 odds.

http://www.butlersports.com/sports/m-baskbl/2013-14/releases/20130703gp8h85 http://www.nba.com/celtics/news/press_release/070313-celtics-hire-brad-stevens-head-coach
Ugh, great. I hate the way he coaches his players to foul on every play and to slide under every drive to the basket. At least he'll be gone from NCAA.
Great collegiate coach, but the NBA is so different, from style to responsibilities to relationships with players. If he succeeds, I will be shocked. Unfortunately for him (or maybe fortunately, if his goal is to lock down one of the elite programs in college hoops the way Pitino did--twice), their decision to emaciate the roster will likely mean he is dealing with a ton of youth and precious little talent the next 3-4 years.
I'm happy just for the simple fact it is not someone who has been fired 3 times previously like 90% of the new coaching hires in the NBA and NFL it seems.
Wow, happy for him, but wow. Not only will he be working with a young team as rserina mentioned, its possible the "leader" of the team will be Rondo. I hope Rondo goes to LA in a trade or something, but if he doesn't, Brad's got his work cut out for him. I hope he does well and sticks, but my uninformed guess is that he won't. My bet is that he's got major college basketball programs clamoring for him if he fails.
How well this works out will be mostly determined by how serious the Celtics are about him being the long term answer as coach. I have spoken to a couple NBA front office people tonight who both have recently been a part of coaching searches and while both proclaim happiness with who they hired, both also are upset with themselves that they did not reach out to Brad. He is extremely respected by all basketball people and many feel he has a ton of Pop in him. In truth the Celtics youth movement favors him as the toughest people to win over in the NBA are often the veteran super stars. As Coach K said respect won't be an issue for Brad who demands it with his knowledge, demeanor and work ethic. IMO he is more tailored for the NBA than someone like Billy and that's not a knock on Billy. Coach D is amazing at teaching his system and may be top three in the world at teaching offensive spacing, but he is not great in situational basketball. Up till now it just hasn't been his strength. The NBA is so much about managing possesions and really setting up certain shots for certain guys. Same thing defensively. Brad S. is really strong in these area's and this is where he reminds so many of a young Pop. Brad is so strong in situational bball and if the Celtics give him time and talent, most believe he will be extremely successful. IMO it's a great long term hire.
if rondo is still around I'll give 3:1 odds that we have another spreewell/carlesimo situation before Christmas
Based on the records of coaches who have gone directly from college to the NBA, including Rick Pitino and John Calipari, it looks like the Celtics are making a big mistake. That being said, perhaps Brad Stevens will be the exception. No one expected two consecutive Final Four appearances by Butler either. CBS Sports
Interesting. I tend to agree on Donovan. I don't follow Butler closely enough to be able to judge his court acumen. The comparison with Popovich is a little difficult to see because, well, Popovich is a certifiable ass who approaches his teams with the rigor of a drill sergeant. He also learned under Brown. It strikes me that film geeks like Spoelstra, Vogel, Thibodeau and the like are the new direction of the NBA, not system guys or motivational speakers or players coaches, because the combination of advanced statistics, fluid rosters, and different styles of play means you have to adapt your strategy almost weekly. If Stevens fits that mold, he might be fine. The problem with the youth movement is not just youth, but the lack of developed talent that often goes along with it. They will have to tank for two or three years to stock the cupboard, but that will assume they also get lucky in the 2014 lottery. Can Stevens give them reason enough to keep him around until they get back on the upswing? Surprising to see Martin sign with the Wolves, but Adelman has been great for him. With a healthy Rubio and Love, they should be a playoff team next year.
Stevens fits the exact mold you mention. He is a huge stat guy. In fact, he was the first college coach to put a statistician on the bench. He is very similar to Spoelstra, but your comment about the time they give him is exactly the point of my original post. If this is a true long term move, I love it. He may be like Spoelstra, but Eric as good as he is has the benefit of coaching the best player in the world. I'm not sure where you get your info on Pop and I don't know him personally, but I do know players who have played for him and they love him, I also have known RC since his Gator days and he's a great guy who speaks very highly of Pop. Kmart, chose the Wolves for many reasons. He really did not enjoy OKC last year. Brooks won't coach his stars like Pop does and there is some immaturity amongst the stars of OKC. Not that they are bad guys just that individual stats and awards are very high on their list of priorities. Scotty is not strong enough right now to coach that out of them. Kevin had an unbelievable year in terms of efficiency but even in the playoffs after Russ went down wouldn't adjust his rotation or play calling to get Kmart the ball. Kevin is only 30 and he feels he still can be a 20ppg plus scorer for a contender. He has never played with a pass first pg like Rubio or had an inside player like Love. Adelman drafted him and he can run his plays in his sleep. Flip is a great defensive guy and Kevin thinks they are a team headed in the right direction. What many people don't get is that most NBA players love the game. While the money is important for guys like Kevin who is humble and lives responsibly, it's not as much about the money as it is about personnel and fit and PT. Kevin wants to play and feels he has a lot to give as last years advanced metrics really show. With all that said, I can tell you there was a part of him that loved playing with KD and Russ. Those guys are just so good and he enjoyed being a part of a winner. He couldn't even watch the playoffs after the lost because he and the rest of the Thunder were convinced they could have beaten the Heat this year. I don't necessarily agree, but I know OKC was heart broken when RW went down.
I wasn't speaking so much about him personally as his approach to the game. He isn't a "warm and fuzzy" kind of guy. He commands the respect of his players, which I think is one reason why they have done so well with international prospects. Those guys bring a professionalism that the travel circuit just does not breed in American preps.
I think the Thunder would have blown the Spurs off the court, but I don't think that means they beat the Heat even if the Spurs almost got them. They don't match up well with the Heat while they do with the Spurs. If Minnesota can get and stay healthy, they will be a very dangerous team next year. As usual, the West is stacked and the east is pretty weak except at the top.
Not sure the Celtics are quite as bad off as people think. Rondo's a Top 5 PG in the game, irrespective of talent. Jeff Green averaged better than 20 PPG as a starter last year. They really, really like Jared Sullinger and Avery Bradley. They've got nine first round picks spread out over the next five years, and expiring contracts to package them with. (Humphries, Bass, Rondo, Wallace, etc.) They're going to be really interesting far quicker than people think.

About four years ago, we had a Mohawk Smartstrand Frieze installed in our den. The carpet is very soft and we are very happy with it. At the time, we purchased the carpet from a local Mohawk dealer. A few months ago, we decided to re-carpet our four bedrooms and living room. The dealer we previously used is no longer a Mohawk dealer and the style we previously purchased has been discontinued. I managed to find a style similar to our previous style at a few local dealers and Lowes. We ended up going with Lowes since the other local dealers were charging much more for the same carpet. Lowes' name for the style we selected is Pender -- it is a 47 oz. frieze. Our carpet was installed this past weekend. The installers were prompt, professional, had 14 years of experience, and did a good job as far as I can tell. We used Mohawk's SmartCushion and are just as happy with this carpet as the one we purchased four years ago. I spent many hours scouring posts for SmartStrand advice, and thought I would provide this feedback to help others who are in the market for carpeting. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We are planning on putting carpet in our bedrooms and I have no idea what I want. This will be a good one to start checking out. Thanks. |
If you like Frieze, then 'Pender' is a good choice from Lowes. If you want a more traditional cut pile, I believe Lowe's Smartstrand style is called 'Lucky Star' which has been referenced in several older posts in this forum. |
I got the Pender type installed by Lowes last April when they had the 18 month no interest deal. I really like it and so far very pleased. I read comments on here about not using lowes but I saw the same carpet at carpet stores and it cost almost a thousand more once installed. |

Great jacket but...
Great jacket but does run a bit big.Had to shorten the sleeves but no big deal. HOWEVER, be advised that thread used for buttons is poor quality. Thread stretched and broke after two days. Make sure you hang on to the spare button they send AND use your own needle and thread to strengthen the button threads BEFORE you wear this!

Update: Forest
I loved the first one (dark red) so much I ordered the Forest, and though brighter than I expected, I absolutely love it. It is so perfect for fall, and versatile. Can be made dressy, or relaxed. Highly recommend. Great price too.
Comfy and stylish
I love this jacket, but it runs a little big, and the dark red is much brighter than I expected, but not garishly so. I thought it would be closer to a maroon or burgundy, but it is more of a true red.

Bose's QuietComfort 15 headphones use a battery-powered noise reduction system, along with an 'over-ear' design, in an effort to cancel out background noise. They are the best phones I have tried.

You might be one of the lucky ones who doesnt get side effects. I know when I had my side effects it was mostly the days I was taking the meds. I only had bad side effects the 1st month i took them. The months after that i only had a few hot flashes every now and then. I hope that u got lucky and don't have to go thru all the side effects they are horrible.
how many mg are u taking? I was on 100 and i did not get aby side effects I kept waiting and waiting and nothing. My Dr said not everyone gets them. I rarely get side effects from anything I take. Which i think is werid.
This is the first month I am feeling any symptoms but I am on 250 mg..... Lat month was 200 mg and no side effects...
You may not get any at all!!

Curiosity Landing

I was on the edge of my seat at 3.30 pm 6th August in N.S.W. Australia and when the notification was made that it had landed, I was jumping around like those in the control room, also knowing that what we were watching was being transmitted around the world from a few hundred kilometers from my home - Canberra. It was deja vue. When I was in the Military I watched the Moon landing again been transmitted from a few hundred kilometers from my home - Parkes.

You're More Courageous Than You Think
By Laurel Fay
But they do, and I see it every day in my office. They come in shaking, crying, yelling, stonewalling, defensive, desperate, cynical…but with one thing in common: on some level, in some measure, they dare to hope. Sometimes against unbelievable odds, with heart-wrenching stories and no real reason to continue to hold on, they hope. And their hope in therapy, in me, is a gift and an honor. I try to hold it gently but securely, as we walk through that first session and subsequent others together. It is no small thing to open up your heart and mind to a total stranger. It is no small feat to bring what hurts the most into the light, daring to trust you might be able to have the life you want. And there are no promises. Even with this courage, sometimes things don't work out – despite hard work and good intentions to the contrary, sometimes change doesn't happen, and things stay broken.
But sometimes they do work out. Sometimes – often, actually – I see the initial investment of hope blossom into real changes in peoples' lives. I'm with them when they have the "A-ha!" moment that leads them to understand their past and make better decisions in their future. I get to see the lightness return to their step, the smiles return to their faces, the love return to their lives. It's awesome, and it's why I love my work. Even if it only happened one time out of a hundred, it would be enough, but it happens much more than that. I know that the main ingredient in this is the courage of my clients – not just the significant courage it takes to come to therapy in the first place, but the courage to keep coming and keep working on things, especially outside the therapy room.
I believe that these people deserve all the good that comes their way. Helping and watching them figure that out is my privilege.
