Westinghouse, Gov't to Sign Final Deal on Unit 7 Next Year - CEO
US-based company Westinghouse sees big opportunities in Bulgaria, but the government's resignation will delay ongoing projects, CEO Danny Roderick said.
Roderick also told Bulgarian daily Trud the final deal on Unit 7 would be sealed next year.
His remarks, quoted by a number of media outlets, came as he was on a visit to Bulgaria to meet Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski and other officials from the government in resignation.
During their meeting, Oresharski restated Bulgaria's commitment to the project.
Oresharski's government stepped down last week without adopting a final decision to sign a deal with Westinghouse on the unit, leaving the move into the hands of the next elected government due to take over after the vote in October.
In an interview with the Bulgarian National Television, Roderick revealed the prospect of building a second nuclear reactor at the Kozloduy NPP, apart from the Unit 7 of which Westinghouse will be in charge, is currently being considered.
Roderick confirmed that the price tag of Kozloduy NPP's Unit 7 would be slightly over USD 5 B and assured that was the most "competitive" price Westinghouse had offered in contracts so far.
He added the project had managed to raise some financing, including "by a US bank".
The CEO stressed the construction of Unit 7 would create new jobs for the local inhabitants, but also admitted it would suffer delays, as the political environment (early elections included) were changing initial plans to strike an agreement with Sofia at the earliest possible.
Commenting on criticism that the project has drawn over the past months, he warned against drawing parallels between the unit and the Belene NPP project.
"Belene [NPP] was an agreement between states, we at Westinghouse are carrying out things in stages, we do a certain task, then we explain to our customers what we have found," Roderick was quoted by Trud as saying. The chief executive also underscored Unit 7's construction would be blueprinted and carried out in a transparent way, hinting that was the case with Belene.
Belene NPP, also a controversially perceived nuclear project, was frozen in 2010 by GERB's minority government headed by Boyko Borisov, who cited the "unclear timetable" and lack of certainty in financial terms as reasons for the move. A referendum held on the issue failed to revive the plant and intentions to build it were finally abandoned, despite ruling socialists' declarations they might move to renew the venture.
It is expected that Unit 7 could be constructed in five years and operational by 2022-2024. Prior to that it will take two years to complete license procedures.

You're requesting a window with an alpha channel in the framebuffer, but
the output of glxinfo indicates that your display doesn't support that
(all values under "colorbuffer a" are 0).
Generally, you don't actually need alpha in the framebuffer. It's only
necessary for things like blending with a GL_DST_ALPHA function, or
reading back the alpha values of a rendered image. It's not needed for
the more common GL_SRC_ALPHA-based blending.
Try removing the "| GL_ALPHA" from your InitDisplayMode command.

Hi and thanks for stopping by!!
Music has been with me since early childhood. I feel very privileged to be able to earn my living as a musician.
As is the way with the arts, I do a number of different disciplines within music. I play soprano, alto, and tenor saxes and clarinet professionally. I teach clarinet, saxophone,jazz improvisation (all instruments) and music theory as well as running various groups including a big band, jazz bands, a clarinet group and workshops (usually with a improvisational slant). I also regularly arrange and compose and partake in quite a bit of band leading. My influences and interests lie primarily in jazz and classical music, but I also love working with salsa, funk, soul, motown, blues and more. Oh and by the way, I read music, play by ear and improvise to a high standard.
This site should explain everything. Look around check me out and if you want to know more, get in touch. If you want to see me live, or check my availability, you can check out my public gig calendar...Here, or my availability calendar...Here.

Jets logo unveiled: Do you like the look?
By ESPN.com
The Winnipeg Jets now have a new look to go with their new city and new name.
True North Sports unveiled the Jets primary and secondary logos on Friday. The look was inspired by the Royal Canadian Air Force.
"True North Sports & Entertainment felt it was important for the new Winnipeg Jets to develop a strong new identity," said Mark Chipman, Chairman & Governor of True North Sports & Entertainment, according to the team's website.
"We felt it was important to authenticate the name Jets and we believe the new logo does that through its connection to our country's remarkable Air Force heritage, including the rich history and relationship that our city and province have enjoyed with the Canadian Forces."
The Jets will unveil their uniforms and team colors at a later date.

Mod Mod Mod These are all great gifts, except I can't order them online! Are there any places where I can buy similar items, like chain stores that are around everywhere?
Hey girlie,
Most of them can be found at Target, or the site's corresponding store. Crazy, Stupid, Love and the Hershey's bar should be there too. Bath and Body Works has a store, you can go to the site and search for one nearby. Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, Best Buy, Macy's, Sephora, Barnes and Noble, these are all stores you can find around you. Jordan S.

Toronto Maple Leafs At Boston Bruins Game 1 Preview
After failing to win the Northeast Division for the first time in 5 seasons, the Boston Bruins fell to the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference standings. They still get home ice advantage, but instead of facing the New York Islanders or the Ottawa Senators, they will face the Toronto Maple Leafs instead. Cue the ridiculous amount of media driven "Kessel and Seguin" hype.
For the better part of the last three seasons, or since the Kessel trade happened, the Boston Bruins have dominated the Maple Leafs. Phil Kessel himself has yet to really have an impact against the B's after deciding he wanted out, and he is probably not to thrilled he will facing his former club in the Leafs' first playoff appearance in nearly a decade. He even avoided the media by ducking out of the locker room earlier this week when it was announced that he would indeed be playing the Bruins in the first round.
I don't mean to focus on Kessel entirely, though the headlines do write themselves here, instead I want to focus on his importance to the Leafs here as they gear up for the series. The Thrill has been an offensive force for Toronto after having a very poor start to the season. He has scored 20 goals, with 32 assists, and a -3 in all 48 of the Maple Leafs' games this season. I personally believe the Leafs chances rest in large part on his shoulders. As someone who has never really had any measurable success against his former club, he is really going to have to step up if the Leafs have any hopes in taking this home. This is my opinion, I am not saying the Leafs are without talent as Joffrey Lupul, Nazem Kadri, Dion Phaneuf, Tyler Bozak, Mikhail Grabovski, and James Reimer are all excellent players and they have all had great seasons.
The Bruins will certainly have their hands full against the "Laughs" as these are not last year's Maple Leafs team. This year Toronto had a record of 27-17-5 in 48 games and scored 145 goals while only allowing 133 for a goal differential of +12 on the season. They have the NHL's 14th ranked powerplay, and nearly 20% of all their goals scored came on the man advantage. Toronto will also get an advantage while killing penalties as their PK ranks second in the NHL, while the Bruins powerplay only ranks 26th.
The Bruins also enter the playoffs limping as they have gone 3-5-2 in their last 10 games while struggling to find their game during an extremely tough 48 game condensed schedule.
The Bruins do have some things going their way though, Milan Lucic has found his game as of late and will need to use all of his abilities against an inexperienced Toronto defense core with no answer to his size and strength other than captain Dion Phaneuf. Boston will likely get the advantage as the Toronto captain will likely see the majority of his minutes against Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and Tyler Seguin.
Toronto also has an advantage in speed as the Bruins have, at times, looked tired from the ridiculous stretch of games over the last two months. It has effected Zdeno Chara frequently this season, as well as Chris Kelly, Milan Lucic, and at times David Krejci. Fortunately the B's will have Jagr and Horton back for game one as they are both recovering from different ailments. Jagr has been a force for the Bruins since joining the team just prior to the trade deadline. In 11 games with the Bruins he has 2 goals, 7 assists, and a +3. He has also given their powerplay a different option, and a better puck controller than Seguin has been this season.
The Bruins will be without Rich Peverley, Carl Soderberg, and Dougie Hamilton as all are healthy scratches for various reasons. I would assume inexperience is holding back Hamilton and Soderberg, and a poor season holding back Peverley. Peverley was a useful player in last year's early exit against the Washington Capitals, and hopefully this healthy scratch with give him the added incentive to come out and play his best hockey.
Do not be fooled into thinking the Bruins will win this series based on previous good fortune against Toronto. This is a completely different Leafs team, and I am sure they would love nothing more than to prove to themselves and the NHL, that they can knock off one of the league's best in Boston. The Bruins will need to fight for this one, not rest on their laurels and expect to win as we have seen them do in the past, and get burned for it.
The Bruins do have the experience in winning big games and that is the place their advantage truly lies. They will need to raise the level of their game, and hopefully they can hit that next gear they failed to get to so many times during the regular season. I do believe Boston has what it takes to win this series, but I also think the Leafs can win it too.
Tuukka Rask's last test will be to rove he can be a playoff goaltender for the Boston Bruins. He doesn't necessarily have to be Tim Thomas, but he will have to steal a game or two as most goaltenders to in the hunt for lord Stanley. Rask is also in a contract year so the incentive is their in more ways then one. The Leafs carry the pressure of being the first Toronto team to see the post-season in years. Their inexperience is a major disadvantage for them.
There are a lot of players on both sides who have a lot to prove to themselves, their fans, and their teammates in this series. Hopefully the Bruins rise to the occasion like they know they can.
It'll be Tuukka Rask and Jame Reimer in net for the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs respectively tonight. Puck drop is at 7:00pm at the TD Garden in Boston.

The Space
Enjoy a unique stay in a private bedroom on our micro-farm.
Originally built in 1886 as a gentleman's farm for a prominent physician, now fully restored and modernized while keeping the original character, Larken Springs Farm is a quiet oasis in the heart of the Lehigh Valley.
Two bedrooms are available year-round. Each has a queen size bed and comfortable furnishings. Both rooms share a modern bath with separate shower and spa tub. One of the rooms also has a sitting room that contains a desk and daybed with twin mattress.
In the warmer months we can accommodate additional guests in the unheated summer kitchen at the rear of the house. Upstairs is bedroom with queen bed. Downstairs we can set up a queen size air mattress if needed.
The rooms are not quite as well appointed as the rest of the house, but they do allow for groups of up to 9.
Other rooms accessible to our guests include a full gourmet kitchen and dining room that seats (email hidden) room with cable television and a quiet parlor for relaxing after a hectic day.
Outside are many seating areas and gardens to wander through. The pool area has dining tables and lounge chairs for your further relaxation. We grow most of our own fruits and vegetables here on the property and have approximately 60 chickens that free range on the grounds and provide the best eggs you've ever tasted, available each morning for your breakfast. In July 2012, we added two Nigerian Dwarf Goat doelings, followed by 3 more in the fall of 2013. Spring 2015 saw the arrival of 4 kids born on the property. These beautiful girls will one day provide milk and cheese.
When was the last time you awoke to a rooster crowing?
To clarify, this is a bed and breakfast. We live here with our two beagles, one shy cat, 5 goats and many chickens. We rent 3 bedrooms that share a large private bathroom. The kitchen/dining room, living rooms and outside spaces are all available for guests' use.
Though the farmette feels miles away from the civilized world, we're actually very close to all the Lehigh Valley has to offer:
The new Sands Casino in Bethlehem is less than 5 miles away.
The beautiful new Arts Quest Steel Stacks complex is 6 miles away.
The Rail Trail hiking and biking path is within walking distance and offers miles of pathways along the old rail lines connecting the small towns of the Lehigh Valley.

Lehigh University
Historic Bethlehem

Ken and Larry were wonderful hosts. Their oasis in Hellertown is beautiful! The home is amazing with friendly dogs and a cat as well as many farm animals. Being a city boy such as myself it was a blessing to find solace and peace in this home. They were more than generous with providing breakfast and full use of the common area and kitchen. We hope to go back on other trips and even if we cannot stay we will stop by to say hello!
PS. The eggs on the counter are real and delicious :). And the granola is homemade.
Very friendly and informative. Got full use of the living kitchen and got to do my own thing. Spacious bedroom and bathroom.
Nice to have fresh eggs and coffee in the morning!
Thank you for the hospitality!
My only complaint was that I wish our trip was longer than one night. Ken and Larry are top notch hosts and have a lovely home. I spent a lot of time taking in all the art as well as outdoor space. We had the opportunity to take a dip in the pool and enjoyed a restful sleep. Morning was perfect with farm fresh eggs, delicious jam and coffee. I hope to come back to get some writing done-- the place is that inspiring!
We had a wonderful stay! The house and grounds are beautiful, well-cared for, and serene. The animals were so friendly and it was a pleasure to spend a day there. Ken and Larry are gracious hosts and were happy to answer our (many) questions about the farm but gave us our space as well. Would definitely come back!
We had a wonderful stay at Larken Springs Farm. Ken was very helpful with directions and questions, and flexible about our arrival time. The home is beautiful and beautifully decorated, and the beds were super comfortable. With the whole second floor to ourselves it felt private. It was a treat to cook breakfast in that awesome highest quality kitchen, with ingredients to match - fresh eggs, homemade jams, jellies and granola. The kids had a great time getting to know the goats and chickens, and taking pictures. We'd love to stay with Ken and Larry again the next time we're in the area!
What a lovely place!
While planning to go skiing in the Poconos over Valentine's Day weekend, I realized that the hotels near Camelback were not my idea of a romantic getaway. Based on the great Airbnb reviews, I decided to book two nights at Ken and Larry's. It is really charming and welcoming. The house is really cute, our room was very spacious and decorated with great taste (as is the entire house). We also had our own bathroom. Ken and Larry were very hospitable, helpful and discrete hosts. Breakfast with farm eggs (from their own chickens) and home made jam/bread was also included, and quite tasty! The kitchen is really something and you can see they like to cook and entertain. I would highly recommend the place, and am planning to go back during the late spring/summer time to see their garden and enjoy a few nice evenings.
5-star place and hosts!!!
Staying at Ken and Larry's place was very restful and a great departure from a normal hotel for business travel. This is the experience you want when you stay through Airbnb. This is a unique, quality location set in a rural area but very close to restaurants (pubs) and several nearby towns. The accommodations were spot on with everything a traveler would need.
The home is calm, well appointed and run by two very interesting and pleasant hosts. And the farm fresh eggs were most appreciated.
I would not change a thing and if you are looking for a great Airbnb experience, this is a great one. 5 Star hosts!
About the Host, Ken
A quiet oasis in the heart of the Lehigh Valley.
We bought this place as a weekend getaway and quickly decided to escape the city and live here full-time.
After restoring the house and surrounding gardens we began to create a small farm to feed ourselves and our guests. We raise heirloom fruits and vegetables without pesticides and have a flock of pasture-raised chickens for eggs. Both avid cooks, we love to entertain.
