Buffalo Breeze
Buffalo Breeze – Late Breaking Buffalo News BureauThe Buffalo Breeze is essentially a local Buffalo newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Buffalo, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Buffalo, New York, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Buffalo Breeze.

Last call for Linkert Attacks UK
Posted on June 18, 2013
This is a party for people who don't care about the party and do it for the ride.GKM is a magazine… and has been since March 2007. Before that it was a website called 'Greasy Kulture' which was set up by Guy Bolton in 1999 to showcase some of the stuff he was into: traditionally-styled old Harley choppers and bobbers, hot rods, events, lowbrow artists… anything that took his fancy really.
See, back then it was a rare sight to see a young fella on a chopped old motorcycle; it was still the era of fat tyres and even fatter old blokes in love with billet and barf-inducing paintjobs. There were a few young guys carrying the torch for classic, pared-back bike style: Chopper Dave, Jason Jessee, Bill Mize, Steve Uhl, Scott Craig… and GK featured them before the mainstream realised their appeal and influence.
And now that custom motorcycles are finally enjoying their day in the sun, with more homebuilt creativity hitting the highways than ever before, GKM is still bringing you the best of the back-street builders, the sexiest street bikes and the best period customs from Europe, America, Japan and Australasia. If you like your motorcycles and hot rods raw, raucous and unsanitised, you've come to the right place.

The Directors Guild of America nominated two female documentarians, Lauren Greenfield ("The Queen of Versailles") and Alison Klayman ("Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry"), among three male directors for outstanding directorial achievement in documentaries for 2012.
Both women were left off the Academy Awards' nomination list for feature documentaries.
Greenfield, whose film about a billionaire couple who lose it all in the real estate crisis, and Klayman, who explores Chinese artist and activist Ai, will compete against Kirby Dick ("The Invisible War"), Malik Bendjelloul ("Searching for Sugar Man") and David France ("How to Survive a Plague").
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Golden Globes red carpet
All five filmmakers are first-time DGA nominees.
Dick's film centers on the epidemic of rape of soldiers within the U.S. military. The movie, by the documentarian behind 2006's "This Film Is Not Yet Rated," has also been nominated for an Oscar, though it has grossed only $62,000 since opening in theaters in June.
Bendjelloul's lively film "Searching for Sugar Man" chronicles two South Africans' search for their 1970s rock 'n' roll hero Rodriguez. The film is also Oscar nominated and has earned $3 million at the box office.
The four films will compete against France's "How to Survive a Plague," which chronicles two activist groups that helped turn AIDS from a death-sentence pandemic into a condition that can be managed with medications.
PHOTOS: Nominees & winners | Red carpet | Best & Worst | Highlights from the show
"Whether shining a light on sweeping injustice or bringing us along on an intimate journey, the best documentaries challenge and enlighten us," said DGA President Taylor Hackford. "This year's nominees are no exception. The powerful work of these nominated directors is a true testament to the skill and significance of nonfiction storytellers."
The DGA Awards will be presented Feb. 2 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood. Kelsey Grammer will host.

Snyder Pipeline Complete as Lake Thomas Dries
By: Snyder Daily News
Updated: April 26, 2012
Lake Thomas is more than 99 percent empty, with the lack of water inflow and high temperatures drying out the lake at a rapid pace. That is also affecting the quality of water with more sediment due to the lack of water-level elevation.
The Colorado River Municipal Water District (CRMWD) has completed the $2 million project that connects a pipeline between the Snyder intake station and the Big Spring/Odessa intake station. It will allow up to 6 million gallons of water per day to be pumped to Snyder from the O.H. Ivie Reservoir's Odessa station.
"The contractor did the final pressure check (Wednesday)," said CRMWD General Manager John Grant. "We already have moved water through the pipeline and we are in position to bring it into Snyder."
The pipeline is buried three feet under the lake bed and will be used as a back-up until Thomas is completely dry.
Grant said the district is monitoring water levels and the pipeline is ready to begin operation as soon as it is needed.
The district also has worked out the requirements for Snyder's wells with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Grant said the wells could be online in another 60 days.
The Ward County well project is ahead of schedule, Grant said, noting that drilling should be completed in mid-June.
While Ivie has significantly more water than Thomas, it is just 16 percent full, compared to being 28.99 percent full in April 2011.
Since April 2011, the depletion of Lake Thomas has rapidly accelerated. Over the year, the lake has gone from 5-percent full to its current .93 percent, and has lost nearly 9,000 acre-feet -- from 10,100 in March 2011 to 2,227 as of Monday. It also is more than eight feet lower in elevation than this time last year.
The district set Snyder's water restrictions for the summer at 1.8 million gallons per day, the result of the devastating drought that has gripped Texas for the past year. Last summer, Snyder was allowed 2.5 million gallons a day.

Girls basketball: Marcus clamps down on Lewisville guards in win
By Justin Thomas, firstname.lastname@example.com
In each of its first two District 5-5A contests, Marcus' girls basketball team has been at less than full strength.
But that hasn't stopped the Lady Marauders from a strong start, as the squad improved to 2-0 Tuesday with a 61-22 victory over Lewisville.
The win puts Marcus in an early tie for first with Flower Mound entering Friday's contests (results not available as of press time).
"Our best player is our defense," said Fred Jones, Marcus head coach. "That's our strength and when you play good defense, you can still find a way to win when you're having a bad night or aren't doing what you need to do offensively."
On Tuesday, the Marcus defense limited TCU signee and Lewisville guard Jada Butts to just two points, while starting guard Monisha Neal posted six.
"We played great defense on Jada," Jones said. "That was big for us and was a focus. Vanessa [Jones] was primarily guarding her and did a great job. And the girls did a great job of picking up the slack behind her. I think a lot of times what Vanessa does for the team is huge and gets overlooked. Maybe it's because she is the coach's daughter. But she's our defensive leader and is our most competitive player and it changes the game when she is effective on both sides of the ball."
Marcus led after one quarter, 12-7, before distancing in the second period with a 17-5 spurt.
"We just couldn't get anything going," said Charlotte Jones, Lewisville head coach, who missed the game with an illness. "We played well in the first quarter but we lost focus after that and especially in the second half. We got into a little foul trouble and didn't do a very good job of boxing out or rebounding."
Charlotte noted Lewisville and Butts had trouble with Marcus' pressure defense.
"They were pretty scrappy and got us in trouble a few times with some traps," she said. "Jada is still going through the motions and getting into the swing of things. You could see she was getting a little frustrated with how things were going."
In addition to locking down on Butts, Vanessa scored 13 points, while Sierra Bone recorded a team-high 14 and Alex Lapeyrolerie posted six.
"Sierra and Alex have stepped up so much with some of the injuries," Fred said. "They're doing a great job. But like I said, our best player has been our defense."
Jasmine Richard also chipped in six points for Marcus.
"Jasmine is super athletic," Fred said. "She is a solid guard and was our JV MVP last year. And she is also a team favorite because of the energy she brings."
Lewisville continued Friday against Ryan before hosting Hebron at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
"[Ryan] has been playing pretty well," Charlotte said. "They're looking pretty good, but if we want to turn it around and get into the playoff hunt, this is a game we have to win."
Marcus went for 3-0 Friday at Coppell and hosts unbeaten Flower Mound at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
"The thing we talk about most is just going in the right direction," Fred said. "Our intent is to win every game, but I'm happy with the direction we are heading right now."

Update and Flute pics....
First of all thank you very much for all support!! I am receiving many e-mails and comments in the blog from some great folks willing to somehow support the project.
We are at full speed and as soon we need any support we will be contacting your. My apologies if I haven't contact you yet because I have been quite busy these days.
Please add me on twitter and we can keep contact. http://twitter.com/jvelosojunior
As I mentioned before I printed a nice flute... and it works !!!!! I will post a video with my friend Tiago playing it soon... (unfortunately I can't play)
BTW, I will try to answer some questions by these weekend that are in the comments.
53 comments:
You are making groundbreaking stuff here. DIY RP machine is just what I need, and I'm willing to help in any way possible. I'm a 3d artist, with experience in RP and 3D printing, And I would like to make this project available as soon as possible. So if you need my services or you need any help at all please feel free to contact me firstname.lastname@example.com or http://twitter.com/#!/LukanoskiHi Junior.
Another question I had was do we need to add our own 3d support structure to our 3d model and if so, are there certain guidelines to follow for proper support? I am a 3d artist so this is not a problem for me. I saw the photo of the rings and noticed they all had support structures and I'm guessing that attaching them with thin connections would make for easier removal.I have a ton of questions and don't want to clog your blog so I am going to leave my email address (firstname.lastname@example.com)in hope I can contact you directly with my technical questions. I have questions about the projector and how you figured out the correct distance(from projector to resin) to make the objects actual size or of it can be compensated in software if we wanted a larger build area thus having to place the projector further away from the resin pool. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Junior, I've been following for a while and searched long and hard for your email.. mine is ObjectsUnlimited (at) gmail (dot) com please add me to your mailing list and drop a note when relevant. I will buy your machine or contribute.
on twitter @protobotindHi Junior, Been doing lots of research and finding that material cost will be a big factor when considering this printer. I'm finding that the going price is about $4.50 cu. in. I have looked at the Envisiontec printers, which are similar in principal (upside down builds using DLP) but you can't touch their printers for less than 30 grand! I guess they have a technology that allows for different levels of grey scale to cure at different depths to create smoother surfaces (voxel thickness as apposed to flat layers) Actually, I would be perfectly happy with flat layers at this point, still way better than the resolution that's out there for printers at this price point. Back to researching......
ReplyDelete@KC: That makes more sense to me and even easier to do. They (Envisiontec)explained to me that different intensities (grey scale values)of certain "edge" pixels cure the resin at different depths, which seems like it would be very hard to control consistently. On the other hand.....By shifting the image/exposure slightly in the XY direction, lower resolution DLP's should be able to achieve a smoother finish, or.... If projecting a larger image (projector further from resin) This shifting would also improve smoothness. Larger projections would make for larger pixels. There are so many factors when optimizing the resolution of a print. For example, How many pixels of the 1024 x 768 image are you using for your object? I guess if you calibrate the 1024 x 768 image to a "real world" size in inches or cm, you would not need to re-position the projector. Then again, If you use as much image real estate as possible for each build, you would have to always re-calculate the focal length of the projector to produce a 1:1 part. Maybe create a calibration screen to project onto a matching transparency?? It kind of makes your head spin when thinking of all the factors involved and I'm sure Junior has taken all this into consideration. Maybe all these things can be automated somehow in software?? I don't know, I'm no engineer, Just excited to start the project.
ReplyDeleteHi Veloso, would you like to test your printer with my zbrush model of Frankenstein? Cheers for your progress! http://4049174397829845972-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/chewe3d/blog/jugantamblsculptris/frankyy.jpg?attachauth=ANoY7cqs17FlEJOlL8X_gFLH1o-XZSwecKxBUpyqrPlJzPF1uVi3te_jmwSj9ODudubCPETo52st4ec2ohKOu36ezuLG35pE38R4SPBpb2HKDCebfUWNxJlnJ4VTiirX7Zb3AMi6vHfc1IobC0U4pA8WdOIbHok__lYR1QBV8LMufkrB2CMtwalbMere6Q1M59F00NUx6_qucW5RZIQhzmFSKCOkQPrW1wQhuCu1_zehhv_zcWR0Xv0%3D&attredirects=0
ReplyDeleteDear Junior,
my name is Sebastian and I am as thrilled as everyone else here - great work! Best resolution I have seen so far from a desktop 3d printer.
Why I am commenting: My team and I are currently developing a very powerful website for the worldwide 3D printing community. Fans will be able to share, co-create, collaborate and even compete in multiple topics surrounding 3D printing. I see a chance that we may be able to incorporate your 3D printer - perhaps you can send me an email to discuss in more detail. It is: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for your time and keep it up!
SebastianDear Junior. I visit your blog for many months now, but still (no offense) see no concrete plans or a roadmap about your construction. It seems that you deliberately delay to disclose further info, possibly for any of the following reasons:
1. You are expecting something that is not happenning... i.e. make money by getting "acquired" by a major 3D printer manufacturer (not possible for the reasons you and many of us are aware of...)
2. You have being warned by some major 3D printer manufacturer about possible IP infrigments, dont know how to handle it (forget them, see how Geoh0t handled the iPhone jailbreak by the giant Apple)
3. You are a perfectionist, seeking the best out of the first version (get over it...)
4. You have a proof of concept but no stable working system, that does not produce any repeatable results, therefore your system offers no significant advantages over what the OS reprap flavors do (we are here to assist, just like in all OS groups), btw blogs are by default SHARING media... not press releases by commercial companies.
In either case, I think you should have to disclose further info to your loyal fans and not let them in the dark any longer. Give us your BoM and let us experiment too, contributing to your idea. I would like to know some info on lamp wavelength, DLP types, resin material e.t.c.
Me, as many other friends too, freeze our investment on other comparable DIY printers because of your expectations.
As far for the possible IP infringement, we all know that there will be no case, since you will not commercialise your findings. Am I right?
With regards, and a lot of respect to you for your work so far,
Timo from Greece.
tbilalis at enternet dot grHowdy Junior,
I'd love be be kept apprised of your progress if you have a mailing list, and provide any assistance if needed, particularly with regards to electrical engineering and photopolymers. Drop me a line if you've got a chance: email@example.com
Very impressive work so far! :)
EnriqueTill now, has anyone of us contributed anything to his effort? Junior has done his research and has spent his money and time on the machine, and his wish is to build an AFFORDABLE piece! Even though there are DIY machines on the market at a lower price range, just take a look at the final results and I am sure anyone like me knows which machine to choose. And I suspect people who are so ANGRY about his idea of patenting.
ReplyDeleteNO ONE IN THESE COMMENTS UNDERSTANDS.
You are all acting like a bunch of demanding 12 year olds. These things take time and money to create plans or design machines like the one he is building. How can any of you expect he just releases the plans for free?!
Junior is working very hard to perfect the idea that he has helped create. Yes, it may be based off of other tech but that does NOT mean it is not new, innovative, and exciting.
All the other open source 3d printers are sold to MAKE MONEY so that the companies can keep on producing the machines. I am happy Junior is working this way, and hope that HE CONTINUES to take as much time as he needs to make sure this project comes out exactly as he envisioned it. I, along with many other people have NO problem purchasing a kit from him so that he can get a little extra something out of all the time he has put into this.
Either way, Junior you are doing a tremendous job. Many people still follow this blog even though they do not comment. These people will gladly back you up when you create a kickstarter, and look for funding to create these machines. Take your time and do it well, you will be a god among the DIY community no matter what.Panduh, It's not going to happen. You still dont get it. After his patent issue date, he will then decide what and when to publish some form of plans. This may take weeks or months as he said, which seems that you Panduh had no chance of reading it... Dont know if you have free time to spare, I dont.
I agree with Mathias and the rest of you guys. We all somehow helped Jr to come this far, although it was and remains his project. We were just expecting for results not caring for his off-topic tweets.
BTW, lets all share our findings about possible resin sources/recipes. As for the hardware/software I can provide you, similar to Jr's plans very soon. Looking forward to some action.
Thanks Jr for the inspiration.Well ...
I guess shows you can't make all the people happy all the time. Your doing the same thing I would. If they give you the patient then they will apparently agree with you. I am just waiting to see what I can do to help. No strings attached. Like there is something wrong with making a dollar for something you do. If they are so upset they can just go do their own thing. Goodbye.... Wish you well... send us a picture of what you end up with..... click..
I just want the printer. The group experience is ok but it is really about getting the printer.
I am still with you Jr
I'd just cut them out of your blog. How needs to hear that kind of stuff, it's a distraction.i have been checking this page everday and it seems i have mised something this week-end...
I have no probleme wih JR making some money out if this. He has invested a lot of time and money. I have have to admit that the wait is frustrating, but i cant see how i could complaine. Ok this is not 100% open source, so what!
Keep up the good work Jr and thanks for the inspiration.afroditi: No I do get it. He will start the kickstarter, raise money to cover his initial costs and then release the plans open source. yes, it will take weeks or months, and I am fully prepared to wait as long as it takes until he is ready. I enjoy reading his tweets, even if they are off topic because it lets me know he is still working on something. Also, results take testing and TIME. Something I have, and you apparently do not.
I agree with barrylaw921, these people are a distraction.Bottom line: The cheapest UV curable resin runs about $4.50 a cubic inch (cured). There are manufactures that sell it to the general public in 1 kilo bottles for around $250 which comes out to about 24 oz. give or take. Whether Jr. makes money on the resin or not, we will still pay around the $4.50 cu.in. price. Even if it's a dollar cheaper per cu. in. it's still not cheap but still way cheaper than having a service bureau print it for you. Nobody here should expect cheaper resin, it is what it is.
ReplyDeleteOlá Junior!
Nossa, voce é o tipo de pessoa que me enche de orgulho ser Brasileiro... e enche de pesar pelo governo que temos, que deixa que mentes brilhantes como a sua só encontre meio de desenvolver seu potencial fora... =\
Melhor parar com essa mania brasileira de ser reclamão rsrsrsrsr
Junior, voce está de parabéns. Sempre fui um entusiasta da Teconologia, apesar de na hora do vamos ver eu ter escolhido Direito XD...
Faz pouco tempo eu comecei a pesquisar sobre impressão 3D e, inevitavelmente, cheguei ao seu projeto.
Muito bom mesmo!
Assim que voce abrir o projeto no Kickstarter, pode contar comigo!
Eu gostaria de manter contato com voce por email... firstname.lastname@example.com...
Se não lhe for incomodo (y)
Abraços meu conterrâneo.
Lucas Camargos Sirius
English abstract: Basically, I said that this guy is unbeliveble! Congratulations for the printer! Amazing!
About the Project
I have been dreaming about having a 3D Printer at home for many years, but the ones with good quality are not affordable and the low costs just deliver poor quality. Sounds crazy but I decided to build a high resolution 3D Printer by myself at home (people actually said that I was crazy and this was impossible). The funny thing I never saw this type of machines in real life, and still haven't seen one besides the one I built.
Now that I succeed building the first prototype, the target is to bring this low cost 3D Printer to every home, so we are developing the first affordable one with high resolution.
I hope you enjoy our blog, follow us and you can have this printer in your home soon.

Diniz overtraining?"Depuis le 17 mai, je n'ai pas pris un jour de repos. Ma plus petite semaine en volume était de 200 km. Ma prochaine journée de repos, ça sera le dimanche après ma course."
A quote from Diniz on Cybermarcheur. Doesn't sound good to me. Quick Silver Hong Kong
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... d=93773028
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this already. I heard this NPR report on the 50K race walk the other day. Apparently they were going to make the walkers walk on a granite surface that the competitors complained would cause stress fractures. The Beijing Olympic organizers didn't want to change the course but they did eventually cave in and spent 800,000 dollars to fix the course.
Diniz and Schawrzer seemed to have had a pre race plan. They went out together, shared drinks...and were realled in after 25 minutes. Schwarzer was lifting for about 15 minutes and managed to avoid a warning.
Diniz is now out the back door. Plenty of paddles being shown, but neither the viewers nor the walkers seem to know who is getting them! ETA...and now Diniz has regrouped and got himself back on the group. The Russian favourite is far more technically sound than his female counterpart! Thank heavens.
Amazingly, for the first time in many a year at a WC/OG, neither the resident result-data computer nor the host TV feed are showing any kind of charting. Not surprising that commentators aren't saying anything on the subject (just as we were mute in the stadium yesterday for the w20).
Don't talk to me about the farce of yesterday....that wonderful display of lovely lifting from the gun, for the first 40 minutes of the race from the Russian, get's the gap...and clicks into a somewhat clean technique. I don't blame her for doing it, since she was getting away with it, but it's an Olympic games and NO ONE was able to warn her!? Schwarzer calling on the official to warn the Chinese in front of him!?

It's down to 4, Nizhegorodov, The Chinese (BO?) who is still lifting , Schwarzer and Tallent. Tallent in for another medal...early days, but..... In all seriousness, Tallent is the only one who is definitely not lifting. Nizhegorodov and Schwarzer are cutting it very close. Bo doesn't even lock his knees ETA: Oh Good god, I'm knocking this off....GUESS who just got a paddle after I just wrote the above?Tallent!
WarningsRecall that
- a paddle for Tallent means he's LEGAL, but in danger of bending - any judge who's already shown Li a paddle can't show him another for the same thing - any judge who's given Li a red card can no longer judge him at all Quick Silver Hong Kong
Re: WarningsA paddle is a paddle, you get three and you're out! And if he gets a red he's out.... Although I have seen red carders go on to finish, they are always DQ'd on results! Have you had different experiences? Last edited by Jaack on Thu Aug 21, 2008 4:52 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Reasearch is your friend! Schwarzer given a warning. Just gotten a caption, but none of the leaders are credited with a white flag! So, can you get a warning that isn't a warning? Is it just misadministration? Major champs are just so inconsistent with their warning system! Last edited by Jaack on Thu Aug 21, 2008 5:23 pm, edited 1 time in total.
OK, I just checked this, and it's true Nizhegorodov only had a 44:47 at that point when he set the WR, but saying they are on WR pace is still misleading. If they continue at the pace they're going, they will not be close.
You can get a warning that's JUST a warning and that doesn't have any real significance. Or you can get a DQ proposal from one of the judges - if you get three of those, you are DQed.
Oh for goodness sake, talk about picky! Nizhegorodov was on his own WR pace, what more do you want! He's actually off the lead group now, seems to be going through a bad patch! Last edited by Jaack on Thu Aug 21, 2008 5:22 pm, edited 1 time in total.
This is what is killing me, we use two different paddles for warning and a proposal. And the warning is generally verbal.
It's not being picky.
They have picked up the pace significantly since the 10k mark, but if you were just comparing the splits to the WR race, you'd have to say they have slipped outside WR pace, which makes it sound as if the pace is slipping. 1:49:00 at halfway for the top four - that's 3:38 pace now.
This is pointless, but WR pace can only ever be, under or on the targets achieved during the world record. Ego, at 10k, I was perfectly correct to say....they are on WR pace. As they were ahead of the 10k split achieved during that record! It's 3am towards the end of the Olympics, I'm watching blatant lifting go un noticed and I'm crankier than ever....
Diniz has been walking in fifth place, first behind the lead group, for a long time now, but he's still not losing much ground on the top 4. Still only 27 secs behind at 25k.
Kirdyapkin totally off the pace. Nymark nearly 5 minutes behind the leaders at halfway and Garcia 4:18 behind.
Awww Diniz stopped, knocked off his watch...and walked towards the barrier. Then fought with himself and started to walk again...first VERY slowly and then picked up the pace agin! He IS n 5th...and they DO have warnings up ahead. This could turn into some story!

New Gorilla Perfume
We're here to alter the way you perceive perfume.
In the quiet seaside town of Poole, England, father and son team Mark and Simon Constantine work as a dynamic, creative force, inventing all new perfumes that defy scent expectations. Inspired by art, music, memories, people and stories, each perfume tells a tale and evokes emotion. Gorilla Perfume is an antidote to boring, mass-market scents, and a movement to get people excited about good quality fragrance.
We see making perfume as an art form, with much of our work heavily influenced by poetry and music.
LUSH perfumers Mark and Simon Constantine created the Gorilla Perfume line (the name is a bit of an inside joke, as they begin with the name Guerilla Perfume, but since they are rather tall in stature it became Gorilla Perfume).
Mark and Simon focus their attention on what is inside the bottle. Each perfume is inspired by a work of art, a song, a story, a person or a feeling, and most importantly, each one is made up of beautiful, quality ingredients.
Our message is simple: Forget the marketing, the beautiful people and the bottle. The perfume is the point.

It works
By seadregs
from Seattle
The speaker works but most people will want to have the speaker near them to have control over the volume. The button that surrounds the control knob is ridiculously bright. In a dark room it is distracting if not blinding. A remote control is desperately needed.

The Voice Clarifying TV Speaker.
By John
from Peabody
Hi, I had stopped watching TV because I couldn't clearly hear the astors talking, I couldn't follow the story. I'd hear a good portion of what was being said and then miss and important part. I used to crank the TV volume up so loud, when I needed to hear a conversation, that I had to hold the remote control in my hand, with my thumb on the volume button, in case I had to lower it fast. I am completely satisfied with this The Voice Clarifying TV Speaker. It really helped me.

With the background noise gone, the voice becomes extremely clear. The overall volume can be reduced, yet can be heard much better.

perfect for those that need a speaker close to the ear. Also eliminates having the volume up so high and distracting others. Bought for parents, one has hearing aide other does not, so it is perfect for both. So easy to set up. Set up was done in minutes and turned on and worked as promised. Love it!!!

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The long-rumored closure of Jae's Spice has occurred, but over a lease, not sales, according to the parties involved.
Jae Chung's North Street restaurant and Shabu 297, opened in the former Pressbox around the corner, were shuttered Tuesday night.
The Berkshire Eagle reports that business partners Lawrence M. Rosenthal and Joyce S. Bernstein, the restaurants' owners and founders of the original Spice restaurant there, have declined to renew their lease with Chung.
Bernstein told The Eagle they would reopen the North Street restaurant next week as Spice Dragon with Huy Huynh and Phang Huynh, who own 20

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city's popular Mazzeo's Ristorante is readying to open a new location on South Street in the former Aster's restaurant.
The Mazzeo purchased the building from owner and chef Joseph Toole for $460,000 in October 2009, several months after Toole closed the 4-year-old Asters because of declining clientele and rising costs.
The new Mazzeo's at 1015 South St. was expected to open this spring. The current location at 7 Winter St. will remain open for banquets and weddings.
Mazzeo's posted the pictures above and others on its Facebook page with the message "coming soon."

I must admit, I've never been to Oklahoma. I have family friends from there, but it's one part of the Great Plains I've managed to avoid in my life. Yet that didn't stop me from feeling quite a bit of empathy with those folks in the Oklahoma cites and towns hit so hard by this week's tornado. On my radio program I suggested that this would be a great time for New Yorkers and those affected by Hurricane Sandy to get behind Oklahoman victims and their families.
This was not, for me, a simple moral calculation (perhaps it should have been). Politically, I figured if New Yorkers, through our lawmakers, made it clear we wanted as much money allocated by the federal government as was needed, maybe those people in the heartland would understand this wasn't about money first. I wondered aloud whether some senator or congressman would, as they did in the wake of Sandy, say in order to send money to the victims of disaster, cuts would have to be made in the federal budget.
It didn't take long. What was surprising was where it came from. The person to turn his back on Oklahoma was in fact, its own senator, Tom Coburn. Like so many deficit hawks, it wasn't about his constituents' suffering, it was about money. And where do you think Coburn might want to make those cuts? Doesn't matter. By taking a position that even some of his GOP buddies found over the top, Coburn was prepared to initiate a process that would have dragged on for months before anyone in his home state got a dime of relief.
Now, if cuts did have to be made, I have two modest suggestions. They certainly wouldn't offset the billions it will take to make those tornado victims whole, but it would be a start. First, lay off some drone strikers. The number of strikes around the world declined in the past year, so either re-assign those who sit in front of computer banks killing those in far off lands, or lay them off. And how about this? Cut the number of congressional days off by half, then reduce their salaries and cut their pension and medical benefits.
After all, many of our lawmakers are millionaires, aren't they? Tom Coburn is retiring from the Senate in 2016. He doesn't really need a government pension, does he? If the people of Oklahoma are being asked to sacrifice, let those who would make them wait for help do the same.
Shouldn't they?
Oh, you crazy Americans! Here you are, obsessed with guns, thinking you need them to stop some leering thug from invading your home and taking everything you have. Truth be told, you don't have to worry about that nearly as much as, say, 20 years ago. A new Pew Research Center poll says while the gun homicide rate has dropped a substantial 49% since 1993, most Americans (56%) think gun crime is higher now than 20 years ago.
In fact, gun death rates in the last part for the first decade of the 21st century had plunged to a level not seen since the 1960s. So why do so many think we're on the verge of a gun violence apocalypse? There are no easy answers, but a few reasons come to mind. The perceived increase in the frequency of mass shootings may have something to do with it. Perhaps the consequence of allowing too many people who have no business possessing weapons played a contributing role.
An interesting sidebar to the Pew study is this. In answer to virtually every question, blacks and Latinos think gun violence is up at a higher rate than whites. This might be attributed to another sad fact. According to the study, 72% of the gun homicide victims in 2010 were black and Latino. Together, this group made up 29% of the total population.
So could there be another reason why so many Americans have an upside down view of gun violence? At the risk of dogging my own profession, does the media have anything to do with it? Media is, after all, an easy target. People know they can blame the media for just about anything, and they also know the media won't change unless forced to by revenue concerns.
One could take some comfort in the notion that we're not killing each other as often as we did 20 years ago.
Question is, if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

A new CBS News/ New York Times poll says Americans are becoming more isolationist regarding foreign adventures. Majorities don't want the US military to get involved in either Syria or North Korea. That's good news. As the Obama Administration contemplates sending lethal aid to the Syrian opposition, we ought to ask ourselves some fundamental questions.
Since the stepped up help seems to be in response to reports that the Syrian government is using chemical weapons, how accurate are those reports? The president seems to have the same qualms. While the opposition says the Assad regime is using sarin gas, there are also reports that the rebels are using chlorine gas. Who are we to believe? Make no mistake. 70,000 lives are estimated to have been lost, and that can't be ignored. And anyone using chemical weapons on innocent people are barbarians unfit to govern.Yet we need to know more, particularly about the opposition. Are they prepared to create a democratic government than that of Assad?
As for North Korea, a majority in the poll say they can be contained without using US military force. Kim Jon Un may act irrationally, but the smart money is he doesn't want to start aware he can't possibly win (no matter his bluster on the subject).
The troubling aspect of the poll is the support so many Americans have for the use of drones in foreign countries. 70% think these remote control strikes are the right thing for America to do. One wonders if they know how many innocent lives have been lost at the hands of these strikes. Aside from the enemies the taking of innocent lives creates, there is a larger question. We have experienced the pain of everything from 9/11 to the Boston Marathon bombings. Are we unable, as the world's greatest superpower, to feel the pain of others?
As anyone who listens to the WWRL Morning Show knows, I have a big problem with drones. There ought to be a way to deal with our countries' enemies without having to say sorry to the families of the dead, and pay them some small compensation for their loss.
There is a better way, isn't there?

The popularity of Spey casting, or the use of the two handed rod, has spread like wildfire across the United States and Canada over the past thirty years. Named after Scotlands river Spey, where the two-handed technique was first developed in the 1800s, Spey casting was and still is the traditional method favored by the Ghillies and their anglers in the UK in pursuit of Atlantic Salmon. Simply defined, Spey casting allows an angler to cast a fly line out over a river with a change of direction roll cast. The long fly rod with a handle on either side of the reel makes 70+ foot casts possible in tight quarters where there is no room to back cast. Anchored in British tradition, Spey rod and line design evolved very little over a hundred years from the late 1800s until just over thirty years ago Spey rods splashed into North America.
Back in the early 1980s, a small handful of fly anglers in pockets around the Pacific Northwest began to explore the possibilities of using Spey rods in the pursuit of steelhead. The first Spey rods to make it across the pond were greenheart, split cane bamboo, and later fiberglass and carbon fiber. These Spey rods were typically 15-18 feet in length and used lines with 80-100 foot heads. To become a proficient Spey caster using the equipment that was first available to North American anglers took many months and years of practice. Some of the earliest Spey casting enthusiasts in North America were Mike Maxwell on the Bulkley, Jimmy Green and Al Buhr on the Snake River, John Hazel on the Deschutes, and a few others around the Northwest. Isolated geographically, the earliest Spey pioneers of the Pacific Northwest had no claves or gatherings at which to share Spey techniques and insight on equipment.
A full and accurate accounting of all of the influential people on the development of North American Spey casting through the 1980s and 1990s could fill volumes. This simple first-hand account will cover the evolution of Spey casting in one pocket of the Northwest led by John Hazel on the Deschutes River.
In 1980, while he was guiding and teaching schools for Kauffmans Streamborn, John Hazel and a couple of fellow shop employees got their hands on a 14 foot three piece Hardy fiberglass Spey rod with a diameter equal to that of todays cork Spey handles. As they began playing around with this huge rod trying to figure out how to cast it (their only references were line drawings in books published in the 1800s) their riverside attempts to simply roll the line out were far from pretty. Before long, Randy Stetzer shook his head and walked away from the Spey folly but John Hazel and Kerry Burkheimer hung on tenaciously to the idea that this long rod could be a great tool for covering water on a river like the Deschutes with little to no back casting room.
Driven to find a method that he could teach to guided clients, John tossed aside the old greased line from the UK and started to build his own Spey lines out of 11 and 12 weight double taper lines. Fellow fly shop employees laughed at John as he spent hundreds of dollars on brand new fly lines only to chop them to pieces in a splicing and dicing quest for a better Spey line.
Kerry Burkheimer, fresh from a fly rod building apprenticeship under Russ Peak, started to build some of the very first American made Spey rods in his garage, and he and John spent hours, days, months, and years designing and testing two handed rods. The prototype rods were unsanded, cosmetically blank, and had the guides and crude cork handle simply taped to the shaft. As they flailed with the Spey cast on the banks of the Deschutes, rods shattered and lines collapsed, but Hazel and Burkheimer persevered in their quest to build a great Spey rod.
Over the decade of the 1980s, things in the North American Spey world progressed quite slowly because there were so few anglers interested in or even aware of this foreign method of casting the fly. A few American rod companies dipped their toes in the new pond - Orvis came out with a carbon fiber 13 foot, 9-10 Spey rod, and Jimmy Green (working at a brand new fly rod company named Sage) came out with a 10 weight 15 footer. The few rods that were available were very expensive, and quite difficult to cast with the lines that were available from Europe. But Spey rod design was evolving, and line design was soon to follow.
John Hazel, now becoming known to his guide buddies as Speyzel, continued to chop and splice lines in the back of Kauffmans fly shop and was soon selling his custom built multi-tip Spey lines to his clients for $250 each. These lines were five times as expensive as the average trout line, and were part of the economic barrier that kept the large majority of fly anglers from getting into the Spey game. However, these hand-built lines along with the fledgling CF Burkheimer Spey rods made the once daunting task of using a two-hander a little bit easier and actually fun.
By the late 1980s John was teaching a fair number of Spey Casting clinics on the Deschutes as well as on other rivers around the Northwest. The clinics attracted attention wherever they took place as fellow anglers would stop and stare, mouths agape, at the crazy anglers swinging long thick fly lines off the end of massive fly rods attempting and sometimes succeeding at rolling those lines out across the water.
Through the early 1990s John Hazel and Kerry Burkheimer continued to collaborate on Spey rod design and the trend towards lighter and shorter rods grew. As rods became lighter and shorter, line design began to follow suit, and soon mass produced lines became available at a price far lower than Johns custom built lines.
The first Northwest-grown fully fledged Spey line came to the table from a small line company in Idaho with the name Rio. The Rio Accelerator Spey line was a traditional long bellied line which sold like wildfire to the growing number of anglers discovering the long rods. Significant casting skill was essential to make the long lines perform well. Thus, anglers spent many days and years practicing with their Spey rods in order to achieve a long beautiful cast.
In 1994 a young guide with a love of Spey casting named Dec Hogan began to work with John on the Deschutes. Fourteen years after first picking up his first Spey rod, John was now able to work with a fellow guide who shared his passion for the two-handed rod. John and Dec kept themselves quite busy on weekends teaching Spey clinics to droves of anglers and filled their weekdays with guided steelhead float trips during which they introduced many an angler to the excitement of hooking and playing a chrome bright fish on the long rod.
One of the few outfitters sharing the waters of the Deschutes on a daily basis with John and Dec and the only other guide out there at the time who was fully invested in the Spey rod was Brian Silvey, the southpaw of Spey. John, Dec, and Brian got together on their rare days off to test the prototype Spey rod designs sent to them by CF Burkheimer, Sage, G. Loomis, and others. Their push for shorter and lighter rods that were more client- friendly resulted in the introduction of seven and eight weight rods less than 14 feet in length.
The late 1990s brought the most revolutionary Spey line design yet, the Rio Windcutter. The Windcutter was far more compact than any Spey line North Americans had ever seen, offering interchangeable floating and sinking tips in a one line that can do it all fashion. As the first Spey line that didnt require an Olympian effort to control and maneuver, the Rio Windcutter line opened the door to the Spey world for the majority of fly anglers and they came flooding through that door in droves.
Spey casting became more than just the obsession of a few grizzled fly fishing guides, it became something that could be accomplished by a gal in a pair of waders. That gal came along in 1999 when I began guiding for John Hazel, whom I would marry four years later. To say that I had a head start on the Spey game with John Hazel and Dec Hogan as my full time instructors, would be an understatement.
In 2002 we filmed our first instructional Spey casting video, Introduction to Spey Casting with John and Amy Hazel, which was produced by and segments of which were broadcast nationwide on Fly Fishing Television. Fly anglers around the country witnessed, many for the first time, the beauty of launching a long Spey cast out across a glassy piece of water. In 2003, as Spey casting was exploding in popularity, we opened our own fly shop in Maupin, Oregon on the Deschutes River and used our Spey knowledge as the cornerstone to building Deschutes Angler fly shop.
While teaching and giving Spey seminars across the country, John and I met international Spey gurus from around the world. In 2004, we were invited to give a presentation at the first annual Jimmy Green Spey O Rama at the Golden Gate Casting Club in San Francisco. This is where we had our first experience casting shooting head line designs from Scandinavia. When we saw the ease with which the Swedes and Norweigians were casting their shooting heads, we knew instantly that shooting heads would be the way of the future for North American Spey casters.
John imported hundreds of Spey lines from Finland and went back to his mad-scientist days: measuring, weighing, cutting and dicing the lines to form a better product. We sold custom cut Scandi lines in our fly shop for five years until a few of the major fly line companies hired John to design the American version of Scandinavian shooting heads.
Spey casting technique, line design and rod design continue to evolve in North America. A cast that once took the Pacific Spey pioneers months of practice to perfect can now be learned in a day, thanks to rods and lines that have been modified through the years and to the wide availability of quality Spey casting instruction. Though the lines and rods of today make it easier and easier to cast a fly with a two-handed rod, John makes it a point in all of our Spey clinics to emphasize that learning all of the casts and especially the single Spey cast is essential to becoming a well-rounded Spey angler.
The intuition that John Hazel had back in 1980 when he first picked up a Spey rod has finally come to fruition Spey casting has become the preferred method for steelhead anglers in all of North America. Spey casting provides fly anglers, many of whom had grown weary of dredging a nymph and staring at a bobber, with a exciting new way to present a fly to a fish.
I was a fly angler but not a Spey caster before I met John Hazel, but his passion for the two-handed rod was as mesmerizing to me as it was to his hundreds of Spey converts. Through his stories and teachings I came to value the history, the complexity, the depth, the tradition, the challenge, and the beauty of casting a fly with a Spey rod. The evolution of Spey casting as we know it today could not have come as far nor would have gained the popularity that it has without the influence of John Speyzel Hazel.
