Guthrie seeking groove against former team
Veteran spent five years with Baltimore; Tillman starts for O's
KANSAS CITY -- Jeremy Guthrie's second full season with the Royals has not begun swimmingly.
Guthrie's 4.80 ERA is the highest among the active starters in a Kansas City rotation that ranks third in the American League in ERA.
On Friday, Guthrie has an opportunity to take a step toward reversing this trend against his former team, the Orioles.
After logging more than 150 starts for Baltimore from 2007-11, Guthrie now serves as a thorn in the Orioles' side.
Since joining the Royals, Guthrie holds a 1.89 ERA with a pair of wins in three starts against Baltimore.
"It's always enjoyable to compete against friends and former teammates," Guthrie said, before conceding that the enjoyment wears off when the game begins. "At the end of the day, once you throw a pitch, it's more or less the same as any start."
In one of his best starts of this season, Guthrie limited the Orioles to two runs over seven innings at Camden Yards on April 26.
Guthrie's high ERA stems from his issues with the long ball. The 11-year veteran leads the Majors in home runs allowed with 11.
Orioles: Bullpen solidifies
Baltimore entered the series on a four-game losing streak that partially stemmed from a lack of success in both scoring and preventing runs during the final four innings.
The offense did not fix the scoring aspect in a 2-1 series-opening win, as it was shut out from innings five through nine. But the bullpen came through in a huge way, picking up left-hander Wei-Yin Chen after 5 1/3 innings.
Relievers Darren O'Day, Troy Patton, Ryan Webb and Zach Britton retired all 11 Royals they faced. O'Day inherited a particularly sticky situation, with two on and one out in the sixth inning. But he retired Danny Valencia on a strikeout and Johnny Giavotella on a flyout to end the scoring threat. Britton pitched the ninth in place of closer Tommy Hunter, who had blown two saves in a row.
Royals: Moustakas set to rejoin lineup
With a lefty on the mound for Baltimore on Thursday, Mike Moustakas observed Kansas City's series-opening loss from the bench.
Manager Ned Yost said he will reinstall Moustakas to the lineup on Friday vs. right-hander Chris Tillman.
Moustakas hopes to pick up where he left off Wednesday, when he clubbed a three-run double in the second inning of Kansas City's 3-2 win over the Rockies.
Yost contemplated sticking with Moustakas but opted for Danny Valencia at third.
"He could have reasonably played [Thursday]. I mean, Chen's numbers against left-handers -- left-handers are hitting .435 against him. But I've got to keep Danny involved."
Worth noting
• Orioles slugger Chris Davis is 1-for-16 lifetime against Guthrie with six strikeouts. The one hit was a home run.
• Baltimore snapped a five-game losing streak against the AL Central on Thursday. The Orioles are 4-9 this season against the division.

Hate to say it, but there's no way Ivy Bridge should be putting up comparable numbers.
I wish there were 20 more developers working on optimizing it.
I also wish there were a few more tests here with heavier shader usage - WINE, Unigine, etc. Ivy Bridge is limited by the shader power it has, so simple Quake 3 games don't tell us much.

Hoping to source a little of the collective wisdom here.....finally got really frustrated with my static dive conversion of the Robbe U47 with Engel tank. I've had little success in keeping it watertight due to the internal overpressure generated by the piston. So I bought one of those german guy's beautifully made bayonet ring fittings. Now I'm at the stage of taking to the hull to cut it into the internal tube. This isn't going to be an easy thing to do as a retrofit.
So, before I start...has anybody done this successfully? Is the bayonet fitting able to seal against the internal over pressure developed by the tank?
Any comments appreciated before I get into this.....you only get to cut it up once......

Vermont: A greenhouse for entrepreneursFebruary 03,2014STAFF FILE PHOTO
Leigh Williams, left, founder of Laughing Moon Chocolates of Stowe, and Chris Kaiser, founder of Vermont Peanut Butter Company of Morristown, are shown last year after Laughing Moon Chocolates announced it would include locally made Vermont Peanut Butter in their recipes. Kaiser will join a panel discussion Thursday at the Capitol Plaza in Montpelier to celebrate Vermont Entrepreneurship Week."I'd love to move to Vermont and start a company here," the snowboarder said with a sigh as we shared a chairlift. I sighed too. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, my mortgage would be paid.
That was nine years ago. Chris Kaiser, the snowboarder, went on to found Vermont Peanut Butter and Thursday, he will join a panel discussion at the Capitol Plaza in Montpelier to celebrate Vermont Entrepreneurship Week.
Kaiser moved to Stowe in 2005, and started making peanut butter in his kitchen. He moved operations into a plant in Waterbury in the summer of 2011.
Weeks later, the facility was wiped out by Tropical Storm Irene. He rebuilt and is now selling his all-natural nut butters internationally. Kaiser has joined the ranks of hundreds who came here to ski and went on to build a business here. He's become a Vermontrepreneur.
What makes a Vermontrepreneur? It's hard work, creativity, resiliency, and a dedication to quality. It's also an ethic about life and work and giving back. Vermontrepreneurs measure profits in ways accountants could never calculate. Yet, the funny thing about Vermont startups? According to the Census Bureau they are less likely to fail than those in neighboring states.
"Vermont is very good at growing companies; we're like a greenhouse," said Joe Fusco at an economic development workshop held in late January. Fusco is vice president at Casella Waste Systems and an adviser at University of Vermont's new Sustainable Entrepreneurship MBA program.
As a greenhouse state, what is Vermont doing to help grow its entrepreneurs?
Prizes for business plans. Recently LaunchVT announced it was upping its 2014 business plan prize money to $25,000 (as well as a suite of more than $45,000 in pro-bono services ranging from legal to design work). And Strolling of the Heifers is looking to offer nearly $90,000 across multiple categories for business plans in the farm/food sector.
Innovative business-focused education, such as Champlain College's gaming curricula and UVM's new Sustainable Entrepreneurship MBA. State colleges such as Vermont Technical College and Community College of Vermont are also incredible resources for entrepreneurs and offer a suite of programs — ranging from cheesemaking to sustainable design, SEO to manufacturing.
Technical and business assistance. Vermont's Small Business Development Center and 12 regional development corporations reach out across the state advising startups and growing businesses alike. The Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund provides early-stage grants, loans and technical assistance to businesses that focus on sustainably-produced goods and services and has been the driving force behind Vermont's Farm-to-Plate strategic plan.
Venture funding for startups. Fresh Tracks Capital (proud venture parent to Vermont Teddy Bear, Mophie, EatingWell) has a new fund now and is once again interviewing its next potential entrepreneurs in a truly Vermont manner: the annual Peak Pitch event, to be held at Sugarbush on March 6, involves "chairlift" pitches. And consider Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies in Middlebury and Burlington, which has been named one of the top 11 university-based incubators in the world.
Access to big capital. For those entrepreneurs (such as Jay Peak's Bill Stenger) who have had a big idea, Vermont's EB-5 program has provided access to more than $300 million in capital for projects around the state and generated thousands of jobs. In January, a Mount Snow EB-5 project worth $52 million was approved.
Incentive programs with a proven track record. The self-funded Vermont Employment Growth Incentive rewards companies for growing businesses and jobs here and was named one of the nation's top incentive programs by Good Jobs First. Since its inception in 2007 this performance-based incentive has promised to return more than $34 million to companies if they create jobs and payroll and make capital investments. By 2016, this will have generated more than 6,145 jobs with an average compensation of $57,641, over $546 million in new capital investments in Vermont, and a net return of $24 million to state coffers.
Workforce Training. Another program housed in the Department of Economic Development, the Vermont Training Program, helps pay up to 50 percent of training costs for employees in qualified businesses. In 2013, VTP helped train more than 3,850 Vermonters, who then went on to improve their wages by 13 percent.
Help with government contracting. Vermont's Procurement Technical Center has helped companies such as Simon Pearce (which recently received a $5 million order for its fine stemware from U.S. embassies around the world), Darn Tough socks and Revision Eyewear provide products to our government. In fiscal year 2013, Vermont companies working through PTAC received 519 contracts, worth $73,22,954 — that's nearly double last year's figure.
Export Assistance. The Department of Economic Development's Vermont Global Trade Partnership allocated over $400,000 in federal grant funds to small businesses to help offset the costs of trade shows, export compliance training, and other international market support. VGTP also provides international market data and research to companies already exporting or those who seek to enter the export market.
Mentoring. And lastly, we have businesses that reach out to help their younger siblings. Recently, Dinse Knapp & McAndrew announced that over the next month it is offering free lunchtime legal advice to startups as part of its support of StartUpVT. IBM, which was a key partner in launching StartUpVT, is hosting a suite of online programs, events and classes for entrepreneurs from Feb. 3-7.
We've already seen many of Vermont's seedling companies grow into Ben & Jerry's, Burton, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Dealer.com, Commonwealth Dairy, Biotek, Logic Supply, and others. But if Vermont's greenhouse economy is to continue to be successful, we need to find new ways to nurture the state's businesses: startups, emerging and even established larger corporations.
As the Department of Economic Development works with partners around the state to develop a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, we are taking a hard look at what helps companies at all stages of growth.
We welcome your suggestions and comments. As we know full well, Vermontrepreneurs have no shortage of good ideas.

Bibi Noel is a gift from the gods. Well...I don\'t know if it\'s the gods or the devil because she made us do some very naughty things to her. But we\'ll do whatever we have to do to bag a REAL 18 year old hottie like this! Bibi is legal (barely) and she\'s another find from our trip to Europe. This is what teenage girls should look like – thin body, long legs, and natural B-cup tits with these little pink nipples. Oh and her ass is amazing too! When she bent over and spread so that we could see both holes, I fell in love…with her pussy. Bibi is as yummy as it gets and when she puts Scott\'s cock back in her mouth after already getting his first load, you\'ll fall in love with her too.

Anyone ever see a 3/4 scale pickup?
It seems as though 3/4 sclae guitars are typically reduced in length but the width at the nit and bridge remain the same - probably due to the increased cost of making bridges and pickups that are 75% of the original size. Not to mention the tonal impact of smaller pups.
One Life
I would consider buying one for my 4 1/2 year old. However, it would also need to be able to be stepped on, thrown around, and otherwise mistreated by a 4 1/2 year old and be able to stand up to that abuse.

This is my 6 year old daughter Maria playing my Traveler Speedster through a 100-watt Plexi. She doesn't play yet, but she loves making noise. I'd buy one for sure. Hopefully, it would be small enough to use as a travel guitar.

I just tried to upload some video, but it didn't work. I guess I have to upload it to Youtube first.

In the "quick reply" box, you'll see a little icon that looks like a film strip. Post the link there. You will have to host it on youtube or another site first though.
I have been looking at 3/4 scale electric guitars for my now six year old daughter for a couple years and I have yet to find any that are even remotely a half decent instrument. I wish that PRS would make a SE (or a few) in a 3/4 scale length. When it comes time to buy her a guitar, I would much rather invest in a quality instrument for my girls (#2 is 1 year old so would be ready to step into said instrument when #1 is ready for a full size instrument) to be able to learn to play on that will sound good and play well and inspire confidence, than spend $100-200 on a piece of junk and another $500 in decent parts to attempt to upgrade it, only to still have it go out of tune every five seconds, still sound it came out of a gumball machine, and be so difficult to play well that it makes them want to quit playing after the first day.
I had a 3/4 classical that was so amazing. I am only 5'6", and for electrics, I was made for the 25" 24fr scale length. When PRS starts building nylons, that would likely be my next PS build. If I could chose, I would make it 3/4........& braz!!!!

Charlie P., (of Charlie and Joe Big Book Study)
passed away last night.
April 21, 2011 -- Charlie P., (of Charlie and Joe Big Book Study) passed away last night. I doubt that I would have been able to stay sober and find the good life that I enjoy today had it not been for the work and efforts of you Charlie! You saved my life and helped me to find a new one! I am, and will be forever grateful, to and for you!
Charlie P. and Joe McQ, RIP, from Arkansas, USA, carried the message of Alcoholics Anonymous -- the Big Book, to literally hundreds of thousands of members in our Fellowship in dozens of countries all around the globe. Many in our Fellowship have been helped and had their lives transformed as a result of following along with Charlie and Joe, in their Big Book Studies, that were often performed at Conventions, Round-ups, Retreats, Conferences and onboard Sober Cruises.
I believe that Charlie and Joe -- were the spark and the flame, that generated a much needed fire in the belly of the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous -- to get back to the basics of recovery by Taking the 12 Steps -- using the Big Book, as the guide and source for the precise instructions on "Having Had A Spiritual Awakening as THE result of THESE Steps. Their efforts and work was reproduced on millions of CD's, cassette tapes, and MP3 files that have been downloaded to continue to carry the message of transformation, change, recovery and hope.
I'll continue to follow up with funeral and memorial service information as it becomes available.
~Dallas B.

Not that this is Linux news, but it is potentially good new none the less.
Not that this is Linux news, but it is potentially good new none the less.
lol, I wouldn't put too much faith in that. Take a look at the source of the rumor, Charlie from the Inq runs Semiaccurate.com.
You may be on to something, I don't know who that person is and have no idea what sort of reputation he has. But I do know Arstechnica, and they do good work.
Charlie has a tendency to be hyperbolic, but his work on the defective nVidia chips has been more correct than not.
Pretty much jives with what my old contacts @ apple say as well.
Well it would be a bit hard to replace onboard gfx solutions by ATI chipsets as there are no chipsets for Intel CPUs. Dedicated gfx chips should be no problem to exchange however. I would at least not use AMD cpus as long as Intel has faster solutions.
while some people don't like charlie, he does have a nack for being accurate at times when everyone doesn believe him.
As for apple, i'm not surprised they got screwed by defective chips by nvidia so they'll go all AMD. But I find it hard to believe they wouldnt go for intel.
It's easier and lets be honest the intel press machine is the second most powerful thing after apple marketing. So it only makes sense for the job mob to use their chips if only to get free adverts.

International Classroom Program at the Penn Museum
Celebrates Fifty Years of Cross-Cultural Education
October 2011—The International Classroom Program, an integral part of the Penn Museum community engagement and education efforts, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Its broad mission—to increase cross-cultural education and understanding—happens program by program, as international speakers connect with school children, families, and adult groups at the Penn Museum and throughout the region.
Since its founding in 1961, International Classroom speakers have visited more than 10,000 classrooms and other settings throughout the region. At the Penn Museum, they participate in the unique and popular "World: Ancient and Modern" programs, where students tour an "ancient" gallery, learning about ancient Egypt or China or the ancient Mediterranean world, and also meet an international student from that same region of the world to learn about cultural continuity and change over time. In addition, International Classroom speakers also participate in a wide range of Museum public events, enriching the Museum's popular world culture days and exhibition openings. The program currently boasts 160 speakers from 60 countries.

Penn Museum in Philadelphia Explores Origins of 2012 End of World Predictions
With Major New Exhibition MAYA 2012: Lords of Time
Advance Group Tickets on Sale Now
PHILADELPHIA, PA —Did the Maya believe the world would end in December 2012? In MAYA 2012: Lords of Time—a major new exhibition opening next May—the Penn Museum in Philadelphia confronts the current fascination with the year 2012, comparing predictions of a world-transforming apocalypse with their supposed origins in the ancient Maya civilization.
MAYA 2012 leads visitors on a journey through the Maya's time-ordered universe, expressed through their intricate calendar systems, and the power wielded by their divine kings, the astounding "lords of time." Visitors explore the Maya world through interactive experiences and walk among sculptures and full-sized replicas of major monuments.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Summer 2011—It may look like a rather unassuming beige box, but the Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (IR) is a vital piece of high technology scientific equipment, key to a host of exciting discoveries made, and no doubt to be made, at the Penn Museum.
That is why Dr. Patrick McGovern, Scientific Director of the Museum's Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory, was so delighted to receive the June 2011 donation of a "new" used Fourier-transform IR from The Hershey Company of Hershey, PA, replacing their current instrument, donated by the Dupont company in the mid-1990's, and rapidly growing obsolete.

Making a Monument: The Fall and Rise of the World Trade Center
Minoru Yamasaki's design for the World Trade Center, unveiled in 1964, was harshly criticized, only gradually gaining a place in the hearts of New Yorkers and tourists alike in the years that followed the towers opening in 1972-73. After they were destroyed on September 11, 2001, the twin towers were lionized. Like monuments in all ages, the World Trade Center has had its meaning defined and changed several times in response to the needs, expectations, and memories of the people. Dr. David Brownlee, Shapiro-Weitzenhoffer Professor of the History of Art at Penn, recounts the story of the World Trade Center as he explores the making of monuments in the modern world.

Scientist Stephen Jay Gould's Accusations against Samuel Morton's Methodologies are Tested and Refuted
Penn Museum's Scientific Morton Collection of 19th Century Skulls
Center of Controversy around History, Methodology of Science
PHILADEPHIA, PA—The scientific integrity of one 19th century Philadelphia scientist has been reaffirmed—but at the decided expense of a prominent late 20th century scientist who had discredited him.
Such was the conclusion reached by a group of anthropologists working collaboratively to re-examine, and perform anew, scientific measurements on a famous collection of nearly 1,000 skulls from around the world, the "American Golgotha" collected and studied by Philadelphia physician Samuel George Morton (1799-1851). Today, much of the collection resides at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia, where members of the anthropology team performed their analyses.

The Old West will meet the new frontier of guitar-driven live music; tradition will collide with innovation; and familiarity will make way for ground-breaking entertainment as one of the Eastern Sierra's most popular fund raisers returns to Lone Pine.
"There is something very different and exciting about the music for this year's Lone Pine Concert/Dinner in the Rocks," Lone Pine Film History Museum spokesperson Chris Langley said earlier this week.
Mammoth daycare provider Lupe Almaguer, who was arrested in early October on child sexual abuse allegations, was arraigned Nov. 16 in Bridgeport on two additional "criminal complaints" of child sexual abuse, bringing the total number to four complaints, according to Wade McCammond, Mono County District Attorney's chief investigator.
Almageur was present for the arraignment, McCammond said.
The first big storm of the winter is expected to hit Mammoth and Mono County late this week, according to the Reno office of the National Weather Service.
As much as several feet of snow could fall on the Sierra crest with several inches on valley floors, beginning Friday and intensifying over the course of the weekend.
All it took was decent snow cover, blue skies, a federal holiday and ... Voila! Mammoth Mountain recorded nearly 10,000 skier visits onto Mammoth Mountain Ski Area last weekend in its 2010-11 season opening.
According to ski hill officials, 2,152 there were 2,152 visits on Thursday, Opening Day. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, those numbers hit 2,293, 3,101 and 2,154.
The ski visits ran 1,367 ahead of last season's Opening Weekend.
The Mammoth Huskies Friday night ended their season as they began it – with a very satisfying home victory.
The Dogs ran up 51 points on Silver Valley, their best scoring game of the season. In giving up 20, Silver Valley never had a chance.
The Huskies finished their season 3-6 overall and 1-4 in conference play. They were 2-3 at Gault/McClure Stadium – not bad for a program that disappeared last season for a variety of reasons.
They began their season with a surprising 6-3 victory over L.A. Baptist, endured some very bad losses (59-6 at Bishop comes to mind) and long road trips.
The Unbound Terrain Park at Mammoth Mountain opened Thursday, and it's mind-boggling what Josh Chavet and his crew have created.
Working on top of a base of 13-31 inches of snow, the Unbounders opened a new urban stairset with three down options, a new urban planter box (brick with fake grass), and a new concrete ledge.
They also unveiled a variety of early-season jumps (aka – smaller hits) and other assorted rails and jibs.
Way to go, you Unbounders!
Daycare provider Lupe Almaguer, arrested for alleged child sexual abuse Oct. 5, is scheduled to appear in court in Bridgeport at 10:30 a.m, Nov. 16 for a pre-trial status conference, according to court documents.
The 56-year-old Almaguer was arrested on several charges of sexual abuse against children once in his care who are now adults, with bail set at $500,000.
He has been in the Mono County Jail ever since, and has been prohibited from contact with any alleged victims.
Public defender Dave Hammond will represent Almaguer.
Chamber Music Unbound concert features bassoon, flute
Anyone who grew up listening to Prokofiev's tale, "Peter and the Wolf," knows that the characters in the story are represented by musical instruments. The bassoon provides the deep, rich voice of the grandfather.
The bassoon is the featured instrument in Saturday night's Chamber Music Unbound concert, titled "Fresh Air."
Over in the Minaret Village Mall, they've got a resident squirrel, looking to score some feed from Tailwaggers and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. So enticing are the scents that the squirrel, caught in a wildlife trap and carted many, many miles away to a deep woods, found its way back in one day to forage again. ...
Hey is that Tess Adler with Brian Schuldt of the Felici Trio on the February page from the Friends of the Library 2011 calendar? Do you recognize anyone else? Maybe Edyth Irvine and Stella Anderson at a tea party. ...
Woolly wore a tuxedo. Everyone else wore smiles.
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area opened its 2010 season on Thursday and, as a bonus, the ski area unzipped the top at Cornice Bowl, as well as Center Bowl under Facelift Express/Chair 3.
You could hear the woo-hoos, hollers, whistles and oh-yeahs all over, from the bottom at Broadway Express to the top at Cornice Bowl.
At liftoff, skiers and boarders had bluebird skies with a temperature of 21 degrees at Main Lodge and 15 degrees at the top of the 11,059 ski hill.
It's shaping up to be a terrific Opening Day at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, with plenty of snow, four lifts and ... the gondola to the top!
With last Sunday's blanket of snow, along with a dusting on Tuesday night, the ski area announced it would open Cornice Bowl on Thursday's opening day – a bonus that practically no one anticipated.
A 20-year-old Long Beach man died in a fluke accident just south of the the Mill Creek exit on U.S. 395 when his car hit a tree this past Saturday, Nov.6, at about 10:45 a.m.
According to the California Highway Patrol, Rafael Contreras was headed south on 395 in the easternmost lane, when for an unknown reason, his 1994 Honda veered onto the shoulder. He then overcorrected, travelled across both lanes to the west and travelled down the west shoulder embankment where he hit a large cottonwood tree on the side of the road.
Mammothites awoke to the familiar sound of snowplows, tires crunching on cinder-sprayed ice and, off the beaten path, clumps of new snow flumping to the ground from red firs, whitebark pines, Jeffrey pines and the occasional rooftop.
It was the first true bluebird day of the season, and it could not have been more lovely nor more appropriate.
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area opens for business on Thursday, and plans a big weekend of parties to go along with the skiing and riding.
Mammoth marathoner Meb Keflezighi placed first among Americans in Sunday's New York City Marathon, and sixth overall, according to race results posted on the official marathon website.
Keflezighi, the defending champion, ran the course in 2:11:38, while winner Gebre Gebrmariam of Ethiopia ran it in 2:08:14.
Shalane Flanagan, who trained in Mammoth over the course of the summer, placed second in the women's division, running the marathon in 2:28:40. She lost first place in her first marathon bid by just 20 seconds. The winner was Edna Kiplagat of Kenya.

This morning I called a food distributor, DiCarlo Food Service, an independent food distributor who services the NY metro area. They carry a lot of pizza ingredients and are located in Holtsville, NY, which I understand is in Long Island. They even have a website, at http://www.dicarlofood.com/. When I called this morning, I was told that they have a cash-and-carry store next to their main facility, where individuals can purchase from among the items carried in the store. They do not carry everything listed at their website, only the most popular items. The store is open Monday through Saturday, from 8 AM to 5 PM. They take no checks but will take Visa and Master Charge for purchases in excess of $25. I was told that one should call them, at 631-758-6000, ext. 350, to inquire as to any particular product(s) and availability, and make any necessary pre-arrangements for pickup.

05/09/13 For those living with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, their caregivers and family members. Live presentations by experts; information exchange & sharing of personal experiences. Meets the second Thursday of each month except August & December. Special presentation topic, May 9, 2013 : Patient and Care Partner Relationship With Leon Paparella, MSW, CGP (Certified Group Psychotherapist) and clinical mainstay of The Parkinson Foundation of the National Capital Area, an extraordinary organization that educates, supports, serves and advocates for the Parkinson's community and PD carepartners.. At PFNCA, Leon provides psychosocial consultation to individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with the symptoms and impact of Parkinson''s. He also runs a ton of Parkinsons support groups for people with PD and their care partners, with uncommon depth, skill and mastery. He's introduced time-limited couples' groups, groups for people without their care partners, and many other much needed services. In fact, we think it's safe to say that Leon is the ultimate groupologist, a veritable tuning fork of interactive sensitivity. Furthermore, he has a fearlessness with his own vulnerability and internal process, which he uses ingeniously and strategically in his groups, to catalyze levels of intimacy, honesty and mutual support in sessions, like you've never seen. We know this because, back in the day, BR and Leon used to run groups together, when they were both atThe Woodburn Center for Community Mental Health in Fairfax County, Virginia. BR ran the Consultation and Education Unit, and she would sweet-talk, cajole, beg, harangue and bribe Leon, who was a master clinician even then, into providing training and consultation for her peeps whenever possible. (It was just a magical coincidence that BR ran into Leon again at the time she was researching her new imagery for Parkinson's.) What is most impressive about Leon, however, is the fact that this virtuoso psychotherapist has Parkinsons himself - the young onset type. And true to form, Leon uses his own symptoms, frustrations, aggravations and vulnerabilities to help the people in his care. It makes him an extraordinarily invaluable, double-threat resource, and he gives talks and writes papers on the special impact and challenges of being a member of the Parkinson's community himself and a staffer at the same time. For his clinical mastery, his creativity and his ability to make multo lemonade out of lemons, we take our hats off to Leon and wish him great continued success! For questions or comments, you can write him at firstname.lastname@example.com

Michael Bloomberg Scalps Toi Hutchinson In Special Election to Fill Jackson's Seat
As Jesse Jackson, Jr. awaits sentencing for misuse of campaign funds, the special election to replace him has seen State Sen. Toi Hutchinson drop out due to her positive ratings from the NRA. : Hutchinson, a Democrat, received an A- rating from the organization, which is anathema to Democratic voters. : Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York and his anti-gun super PAC have been trying to pick off pro-gun Democrats before the primary. : As a result, Hutchinson: dropped out of the race.
State Sen. Toi Hutchinson, targeted in recent days by critical anti-gun campaign ads funded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's political action committee, said she was leaving the race and swinging her support to former state Rep. Robin Kelly. The major shake-up came with just nine days to go before the Feb. 26 primary.
: Hutchinson's move reflected the sharp divisions over the gun control issue, but also appeared to be in line with efforts to consolidate support for one of the many black candidates in the black-majority district. Community leaders had expressed concerns that the black vote could be split, thus boosting the chances of former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, a white candidate whom Jackson defeated in last year's primary battle.[…]
Bloomberg's super PAC, Independence USA, has run ads in the district that target Hutchinson for her past opposition to tougher gun restrictions — one of the campaign's most pressing issues along with economic hardships such as joblessness and foreclosures.
However, Bloomberg isn't finished. Debbie Halvorson, another Democratic candidate vying for Jackson's seat, has become the next target in: Bloomberg's crusade: to purge pro-gun Democrats from the urban areas.
On the second floor of a firehouse in this Chicago suburb, Debbie Halvorson, a candidate for Congress, let the news cameras zoom in as her fingerprints were taken – the final step in her application for a license to carry a concealed firearm in 31 states.
An ad paid for by Independence USA. Debbie Halvorson, a Democrat, became the chief target of the "super PAC" financed by Michael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire mayor of New York who has vowed to spend millions to help further his goal of toughening the nation's gun laws.
Ms. Halvorson does not own a gun. But she is among a crowded field of Democrats vying to fill the House seat vacated by the resignation of Jesse Jackson Jr., and she has been pointedly defending her opposition to some gun-control measures in the final days before the primary on Tuesday.
The race has centered on little else since Ms. Halvorson became the chief target of a "super PAC" financed byMichael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire mayor of New York, who has vowed to spend millions to help further his goal of toughening the nation's gun laws.
Propelled by a wave of homicides in Chicago and Mr. Bloomberg's plans to spend more than $2 million on the special election here, the campaign has been suddenly thrust, however briefly, into the middle of the national debate over gun control.
During the Walker recall election, liberal activists blamed: outside money, which they felt meddled with the outcome. : Mother Jones described it as "dark money." Rep. Ed Markey has called for a: ban on outside contributions: in preparation for his run to fill John Kerry's vacancy in Massachusetts. : : Nevertheless, for liberals in Chicago, they seem fine with a liberal mayor interfering in their election since it's on behalf of progressive values.
What's ironic about Bloomberg's campaign to chip away at Second Amendment freedoms is that it will only make the lines that divide us on this issue more clear. : He's forcing out pro-gun Democrats in the Chicago, and possibly other cities, since those are the areas where his message can resonate. : In the rural areas, it will usually be ineffective. : My home state of Pennsylvania has hunting ingrained in its communal fabric. : To complicate things, Democrats in the western part of the state are pro-gun. : Almost half of the NRA's total membership lives within a four-hour drive of Pittsburgh. : Bloomberg should shop somewhere else.It's now an explicit rural vs. urban war when it comes to honoring the Bill of Rights.
In all, while Bloomberg may be successful in getting an anti-gun zealot to replace Jackson, his pious crusade for stricter gun laws are in areas where they already exist. : Ironically, for all of Chicago's anti-gun laws, which are some of the most stringent on the books, the city is drowning in its own blood. : : It seems Bloomberg is perfectly fine turning America's cities, safe for New York, into hubs of carnage, bloodshed, and misery. : Well, that's liberalism for you.

Bloom is no hue bulb
If you are buying the Bloom as another Hue bulb, you are in for a surprise. It looks like the Hue bulbs have special LED's so that If you are buying the Bloom as another Hue bulb, you are in for a surprise. It looks like the Hue bulbs have special LED's so that they can make all the white colors of normal bulbs in addition to colors. But as any Hue owner knows, hue bulbs can't make green thru blue on the spectrum because of it. Now the Bloom on the other hand can make rich greens, blues, turquoise, but can't make "white" light like the Hue bulbs can. That is why it can't be used in light recipes (whites) but can in photo recipes (colors). So, if you want more of the same, buy more bulbs and add them to a lamp, if you want to get some intense color you miss from the hue system, then get a few Blooms also. …

I'm a fan of HUE bulbs— we have 18 of them installed, so far (19 if you include the Friends of Hue Bloom Lamp), with plans for man I'm a fan of HUE bulbs— we have 18 of them installed, so far (19 if you include the Friends of Hue Bloom Lamp), with plans for many more (including outdoor lighting, if they ever get around to it)— so I had high hopes for the Bloom Lamp.
Unfortunately, though, this particular "friend of HUE" could use some refinement.
Take for example the fact that the Bloom does not work with Philips "off the shelf" recipes. Like the "relax" setting or "energize" or "reading" recipes that came pre-loaded with the Hue app? Too bad; they don't recognize the Bloom as being a part of your network.
No, the Bloom only works with photo recipes. Why was even overlooked? A mystery.
Next, take the device itself, which is hard wired to the 110v plug making it impossible to thread the power cord through conduits if you'd like to "hide" the power supply. You've got the large lamp on one end, a rather bulky power adapter at the other, and the power cord running between them. The only way to thread the cable through cable channel holes would be to cut the cord and then rewire it (and you won't be doing that, believe me).
Does the Bloom Lamp light up? Yes. Change colors? You bet. It even looks sleek (or at least sleek-ish).
But there are a few niggling concerns about the product that are just off-putting enough to make it more of a novelty— and a very limited one at that— rather than a part of my overall plan for the total HUE-ification of my home. …- Written by Mack S from Richardson

Blooms that failed quite rapidly
I have 11 Blooms in total, 2 have failed within in the first few hours and one with about 40 hours. 2 are being replace by Philips I have 11 Blooms in total, 2 have failed within in the first few hours and one with about 40 hours. 2 are being replace by Philips right now, and the 3rd one I just purchased and now needs to go back. not impressed with the blooms at all, I have 11 blooms, 2 led strips, 8 Gu10's and 13 of the connected bulbs and 1 tap switch. Everything else works fine and the updates to the apps are quite fast addressing the problems especially with the new iPhone 6+. But I would hope that the bloom is going to be a better product because I am not going to be paying 80.00 for a light bulb that doesn't even come close to the advertised life. I just hope I can get at least a few thousand of hours out of the rest of my lights, as far as the other 2 blooms I just bought I think I will be sending them back for a refund. …
