Comments about Spencers Laser 3D Party Light:
Lets start by explaining that I own more blinky lights than anyone I know. Some people would say I have a problem...I do! I have 16 different blinky lights and 4 laser based lights..and this is the best! A quantum leap from the other lights I've seen. The different colored lasers are like going from your grandad's color TV to your HDTV...beautiful colors! The main mode cycles through different projection scenes and when it gets to a scene you like you can stop it on that scene by flipping a switch to lock it in on that mode(it would be nice to have a remote here!) At first I thought the sound activated mode was very lame as the first visualization was boring, but found that there was almost a whole cd's worth of different modes that will blow your mind(and COMPLETELY different from the cycling scenes in the other mode). One problem here, there is no way to adjust the audio sensitivity (which can only be used with onboard mic, no hardwired audio input like other lights I have) so at least in mine I had to turn up my system to a decent volume to get music-based mode to stay on. Seems well built but less than a month old so we'll see. Don't be cheap...buy it..you won't be disappointed.

Comments about Spencers Laser 3D Party Light:
I've always loved spencer's for party lighting, so when they released this laser I bought it a week later. It was nothing like I'd expected it to be when I first got it, actually it was a lot better. The designs impressed me very much, though after awhile looking at them, they seemed a bit effortless. It looked like an 8 year old drew some of them. Some lines were missing from some designs, some were pointless, and others just looked like a sketchbook drawing got animated. It's a really nice laser, it works great with my fog machine, but the designs on the automated mode are too sketchy. The sound activated mode works great for me, the designs perfectly match my electro house songs every time and look great with a fog machine. Overall, I would completely suggest to buy this product if you don't mind the designs. It will blow you away if you're used to the kaleidoscope.

Comments about Spencers Laser 3D Party Light:
I love fun lights, so my wife got me this for Christmas 2011. I plan to set it up in addition to several other party lights for any parties we host. The auto mode cycles through: some wavy lines?, fireworks, a bird flapping, series of rectangles in a circle, a boxer punching, a clock, varying circles, globe rotating, continents rotating, snowflakes falling, ball traveling trough tunnel, road trip...
At first, the auto mode that cycles through a series of patterns and animations was pretty interesting. However, after watching it for a while, I noticed that the time on each pattern gets so short that some are hard to even see what is going on, you blink and miss it! There are some patterns that seem incomplete, pass too quickly or have glitches. Music must be quite loud for the music mode to work. The music mode is a series of floating patterns such as hearts, circles, stars, etc that move when the sound level is high enough. If the beat and volume are correct, the shapes will move with each beat. The shapes do not change with the music, they just follow their pre-defined course in bursts triggered by the sound level. There does not appear to be any intelligent digital processing that listens to the music and creates a show based on the "feel" of the music like in PC music player visualizers. This seems to be more like a hobby or school project than a well made consumer product. If it were a bit more polished in performance, I would recommend highly. The idea is great, but maybe look around before settling for this.

There is a new kind of social networking culture. People are constantly taking photos and posting them online. WHY?
Through the use of smart phones and other technological devices, people have become obsessed with taking photos of virtually anything, accommodating the photo with a caption and posting it online for others to view. Sure, posting photos up online enables your family and friends to view some happy moments of the wedding you attended on the weekend, but when did posting a picture of a tissue box and captioning it with 'my best friend for today' become so mainstream? (The idea behind posting a tissue box is so that viewers get the idea that you're sick). Why is it that when my food is served at a restaurant, my friends feel the need to take a photo of my food (at the right angle), ask me which filter looks best, think for a very long time and determine what caption they would attach to the image and post it on a social networking medium such as facebook, instagram, etc? Then they would constantly update their pages to check who and how many people have 'liked' the post.
Also, why do people post up a photo of a loved one, caption it with a long sentimental greeting directed at the person (for example: happy birthday to my grandmother who means the world to me, you are my inspiration etc) but the loved one doesn't possess any sort of social networking account? It would make sense if the user inserted a caption along the lines of 'today is my grandmother's birthday, she is my inspiration etc' (this way the user would be showing appreciation for their loved one) but if the greeting is DIRECTED at the loved one and they don't have any sort of social networking, then why doesn't the user greet the person face to face or through a phone call?
This has become quite a popular activity amongst the younger generation. Can you relate to this activity and what do you think about it? I would like to know if there are any evidence-based theoretical explanations for such an activity. I am looking for an answer further than merely 'they want attention'.

Oct 4 2013: Ha! The human digital way of passing on what is being experienced at the very moment ...to feel as though they are a part of something, to show who they are for those that do not know them well (2-3 people maybe?) and want to know them? Everyone has different reasons I assume.
So, ok you really care about your grandmother. Who doesn't care about their grandmother? See, I'm just like the rest of you! Com'on get creative and make it worth reading at least..."I called to tell her but she couldn't hear what I was saying or knew who I was, so I'm posting here to show her in the after life."

Presidential Campaign Trailer of the Day: The Rick Perry Presidential Campaign's first ad — directed by a 23-year-old Canadian-born filmmaker — refers to President Obama as "President Zero."
Criticism of the moniker came swiftly, but not from the left. Rather, it was Perry's Republican rival Mitt Romney who hit back: "Governor Perry criticizes President Obama for an economy that added zero jobs in August," said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul, "yet Texas added even fewer and has over a million people unemployed."
It's worth noting that both comments and ratings have been disabled on Perry's video. Things that make you go hmm.
[rperry2012 / thecaucus / wapo.]
Well that was a bit dramatic.
Do you remember back when I said all the conservatives were going to focus on the idea that Obama "did nothing"? Yeah…

CORONADA, Calif. A project to increase capacity at Noranda Aluminum Holding Corp.s New Madrid smelter in Missouri will boost the companys electrical efficiency, president and chief executive officer Layle K. "Kip" Smith told AMM.
Reliability and capacity upgrades to the smelters rectifier will add an additional 35 million pounds of capacity once completed, he said.
"We buy as much electricity at New Madrid as the entire city of Springfield, Mo., so even a small per-pound improvement in a (direct current) kilowatt usage is beneficial to us," Smith said.
"All the pounds of aluminum production there will see an electrical efficiency improvement," he said, adding that there was around $28 million of project spending remaining.
"We drive to make a pound of aluminum as cost effectively as possible. We try never to sell just a pound of primary aluminum, we try to fabricate everything to ensure theres a value-added premium," Smith said. "Were pretty successful at that. The New Madrid project is typical and in line with that strategy."
Franklin, Tenn.-based Norandas strategy is driven by three key components: integration, productivity and value-added growth, he said.
Upstream integration allows the security of supply for key raw materials to enable Noranda to manage and control costs, while downstream integration gives the producer security of demand, Smith said.
New Madrid is Norandas largest facility, with 980 employees. The fully integrated smelter has its own raw materials unloading facility, environmental control systems and aluminum reduction plant, including carbon anode fabrication.
The site also houses a fabrication facility to produce continuous cast rod, extrusion billet and foundry ingot.

After 19 seasons in the NHL, Sergei Fedorov appears to be calling it quits and heading back home to play in Russia. Several reports out of Russia claim that Fedorov has signed a two year contract at $3.8 million per season.
Magnitogorsk of the KHL announced on its website that they have signed Federov. Sergei, 39, will be reunited with his younger brother, Fedor. Both players signed two year contracts with Magnitogorsk.
Fedorov was originally selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the fourth round of the 1989 NHL Draft. He spent his first 13 seasons in the NHL with the Red Wings, winning three Stanley Cups and the Hart Trophy as league MVP in 1994.
Fedorov left the Red Wings as a free agent following the 2002-03 season, signing a contract with the Anaheim Ducks. His stint lasted only one season and five games before being traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on November 17, 2005.
He would spend two and a half seasons in Columbus before being traded once again; this time to the Washington Capitals on February 26, 2008. Fedorov helped the Capitals win the Southeast Division title in 2008 and their first playoff berth since 2001. Fedorov returned to Washington for one more season in 2008-09, helping the Capitals to yet another division title.
Speculation was high over the past month with several reports out of Russia claiming that Fedorov was heading back home. Fedorov and his agent continually denied those reports, claiming that he wanted to stay in Washington.
With his NHL career appearing to be over, Fedorov leaves the NHL with having recorded 483 goals and 696 assists for 1,179 points in 1,248 games. In 183 career playoff games, Fedorov posted 52 goals and 124 assists for 176 points.

Todd Reed contacted the folks at BJ's Restaurant and learned that their planned restaurant at the Countryside Marketplace won't be coming until 2010. He posted the following comment today on an older article...
I saw the comment about the rumor BJ's has pulled out yesterday. I went on their website and asked them via their contact page if the rumors were true. Today I received an e-mail from Crystal Wang, Guest Relations / Claims Coordinator for BJ's Restaurants. She told me they are projecting the opening of their Menifee location for 2010.My guess is that they probably planned to open sooner, but the way the economy is, and the fact that they have BJ's in Moreno Valley, Temecula, and Corona, made it sensible to wait awhile.
Well, even though I love their pizzas, particularly with jalapenos and ham, this will help me keep my girlish figure awhile longer.
Thanks Todd!

Zoning & Planning... is that what they call it?
This site has been developed to connect communities located throughout the District contending with problem projects -- projects which may be entirely public, private, and/or a combination of public and private.
The ad-hoc, unscientific, opaque planning review and decision making happening in the District of Columbia right now exposes every DC resident to dispossession and other serious risks. The corporate condominium construction explosion is happening at the same time The City is closing schools, shrinking the safety net, and systematically dismantling our communities. Disinterested DC officials and their purposeful poor planning continues to leave entire DC neighborhoods disconnected, displaced, and downright disrespected.
It's time poor planning in the City ends now.
Connecting and Sharing is Important for Positive Change!
Consider this website a network of information which examines 21st Century development and how it unfolds here in the Nation's Capital. Can it be better? Can there be development without displacement? Can planning officials follow their own rules? These are just some questions for a modern humankind which seeks collaboration, meaningful participation, and astute findings substantiated by facts and reasoning.

After Friday's look at the East, here's a look at the biggest issue facing teams in the Western Conference as we enter the 2008-09 season. Again, teams are listed alphabetically within their division.
Central Division
Chicago Blackhawks: There is buzz again about hockey in Chicago, maybe for the first time in 15 years. The Blackhawks has a lot of young talent including last year's top two rookies, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. They added goalie Cristobal Huet and high profile defenseman Brian Campbell in the off-season. The biggest issue facing the Blackhawks right now is whether or not fans are expecting too much too soon. If any of the young players suffers a sophomore slump or the team gets off to a slow start, fans should not lose hope. The Hawks are on the right track and should be in the fight for a playoff spot. Their young players may need an extra season to reach the next level.
Columbus Blue Jackets: The Jackets are made a lot of changes in the offseason in search of the first ever playoff berth in franchise history. Depth at the center position remains an issue for Columbus with ex-Flyers pivot R.J. Umberger the top candidate for the number one line. Umberger has not established himself as an elite center but scorers like Rick Nash and Kristian Huselius on his wings, this is as good a chance as the 26-year-old Pittsburgh native will get.
Detroit Red Wings: The rich only seem to get richer as the defending Stanley Cup champs added sniper Marian Hossa to an already deep and potent lineup. Avoiding the Stanley Cup hangover is probably the biggest obstacle facing the Wings who hope they won't lose the razor's edge in effort that can make the difference between victory and defeat.
Nashville Predators: You have to give credit to GM David Poile and Coach Barry Trotz. Every offseason, the Preds endure turmoil, slashed budgets and an exodus of talent, yet they have reached the playoffs for four consecutive seasons. This year, Nashville again has to overcome off-ice issues like the loss of Alexander Radulov to the new Russian league and the bankruptcy of the second largest shareholder of the current ownership group. How much more can this young team take and still make the playoffs?
St.Louis Blues: The Blues are still in the midst of rebuilding with youth but they suffered a huge blow when they lost defenseman Erik Johnson for the season with torn knee ligaments. Johnson, 20, was the top overall pick in the 2006 Entry Draft, and is the cornerstone of the new Blues. His loss will set the team back emotionally and on the ice and this youthful team must overcome their inexperience and Johnson's loss to return to respectability.
Northwest Division
Calgary Flames: Calgary has a strong goaltender in Miikka Kiprusoff and a strong defense. They also have a strong top scoring line. Still, for this team to be a true Cup contender, the Flames will need goals from forwards other than Jarome Iginla, Mike Cammalleri and Daymond Langkow. Players like Todd Bertuzzi, Rene Bourque and Tyler Moss must come through or the Flames will once again be on the outside looking in come May.
Colorado Avalanche: The Avalanche made a run to the second round of the playoffs largely on the strength of the goaltending of Jose Theodore. Theodore is gone now, leaving the netminding in the Mile High City to Peter Budaj. A year ago, Budaj began the season as the starter only to lose his job due to inconsistent play. Unless Budaj regains his form of 2006-07, it could be a long season for the Avs.
Edmonton Oilers: Edmonton's late season surge landed them just short of a playoff berth last season. The Oilers have a young team and they will need to avoid the sophomore jinx and have their talented but green players continue their development for Edmonton to get back to the NHL's postseason party. Are Sam Gagner, Tom Gilbert, Robert Nilsson, Kyle Brodziak and Andrew Cogliano for real over the course of an 80-game schedule or were they just on a late-season hot streak?
Minnesota Wild: There are a number of issues facing the Wild, including scoring depth and size on defense. But perhaps their biggest issue is to get star forward Marian Gaborik signed to a long-term contract extension. If Gaborik's still without a deal and negotiations drag, it could become a major distraction for Jacques Lemaire's club. Minnesota relies heavily on Gaborik's goal scoring (42 a year ago in 77 games) and if he's off his game, it will be very costly for the Wild.
Vancouver Canucks: The Canucks have a franchise goalie in Roberto Luongo but they still aren't sure where the goals are coming from. Up front, Vancouver doesn't really scare anybody. Markus Naslund and Brendan Morrison are gone. Mats Sundin never came west despite the Canucks' huge offer and so it looks like another year of struggling to put the puck in the net in the Pacific Northwest.
Pacific Division
Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks had trouble scoring last season, ranking 28th in the league in goals. Having Teemu Selanne from the beginning of the season should help, but only Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Chris Kunitz topped 20 tallies last season and secondary scoring has to be found if the Ducks are going to make a serious run at their second Cup in three years.
Dallas Stars: The Stars are a solid team from top to bottom. A return to health of veteran defenseman Sergei Zubov should help. The potential spoiler for Dallas may be newly signed forward, Sean Avery, the NHL's most hated player. Avery can be a difference maker on the ice but he tends to wear out his welcome with his antics, eventually angering teammates and opponents alike. If Avery becomes a distraction, the Stars could pay the price.
Los Angeles Kings: With the Kings, the biggest question may be where to begin? The team is full of unproven but talented young players. The biggest issue remains who will play goal for Los Angeles. Jason LaBarbera will start the season off as number one with Erik Ersberg as the backup and Jonathan Bernier waiting in the wings. None of those three can be considered an established NHL starting goalie and unless somebody steps forward, the Kings are in for another long, rebuilding season.
Phoenix Coyotes: The Coyotes took a jump forward last season after the addition of goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. The big trade to acquire Olli Jokinen cost Phoenix veteran defensemen Keith Ballard and Nick Boynton. The Desert Dogs will be counting on younger defensemen to fill the void and unless they step up, it will be difficult for Gretzky's young team to take the next step and return to the playoffs.
San Jose Sharks: San Jose has been a favorite pick to win the Stanley Cup each year since the lockout and each year, they followed up a strong regular season with an early exit from Lord Stanley's annual dance. Can Joe Thornton finally prove himself a leader worthy of taking a team to the promised land? Critics say Thornton fails to raise his game to the next level in the postseason and stays away from high traffic areas in front of the goal. This may be his last chance to prove his critics wrong, at least with this deep Sharks' team.

The Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) is an invite-only membership organization comprised of hundreds of the world's most elite and successful young entrepreneurs.
YEC members hail from every market sector and industry and have, collectively, generated tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue.
Our goal is to provide entrepreneurs with access to everything they need to succeed -- today, and in the future.
That's why we connect the world's most successful young entrepreneurs -- so they can grow their businesses faster, while giving back to aspiring entrepreneurs through #StartupLab, our virtual mentorship program.
See our current members here >>
Our work has been formally honored by both NASDAQ and The White House, and our organization, team and initiatives have been featured in hundreds of publications like The New York Times, Fortune, CNN, Mashable, Inc., Fast Company, Forbes, Tech Crunch, The Washington Post and The Atlantic.
We have been recognized several times over as the most elite entrepreneurship organization in America.
YEC members, who are carefully vetted by existing members, get access to a variety of concierge-like benefits, including a dedicated community management team to facilitate introductions and connections, members-only forums and a mobile app for 24/7 peer-to-peer support, a professional editorial team for PR opportunities, and quarterly in-person events. New products, partnerships and services are rolled out regularly.
Plus, YEC members give back to the startup ecosystem by mentoring tens of thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs every month through our virtual mentorship program, #StartupLab.
The YEC is a highly selective, invite-only group of likeminded peers from nearly every industry. YEC members have access to a community of entrepreneurs just like them, including:
Our dedicated editorial team helps members leverage -- and get published in -- dozens of our media partners, including the most recognizable business publications such as Forbes, Inc., Yahoo!, Read Write, The Huffington Post, VentureBeat, FastCompany, The Washington Post, MSN, Fox Business and dozens more.
With our editorial and community team's help, YEC members get:
One of the biggest advantages YEC members have is the ability to get advice, deals, discounts and peer-to-peer support anytime, anywhere via our members-only dashboard, app and online community forums. Access business development resources like:
Community management is our top priority. Members can count on the YEC team for concierge-like service, around the clock. Our core team includes:
Our goal is to provide every single member with a unique, personalized experience that helps them grow their networks -- and their businesses.
We're passionate about the same things you are: namely, improving the startup ecosystem, helping to pave the way for other startup founders and aspiring entrepreneurs to succeed, grow and give back. YEC offers its members multiple ways to nurture the startup ecosystem (while maximizing their limited time and bandwidth) through #StartupLab, a virtual mentorship program fueled by YEC's collective brainpower.
YEC members empower other entrepreneurs in several ways:
After an application is filled out, our member selection committee uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative information about a candidate's business to decide if they are eligible for membership. The YEC is a vetted democracy, in which current members vote on all new members. We don't share every detail of the selection process, but certain core criteria are explained below.
In order to qualify for YEC membership, the candidate must be an entrepreneur (under 40 at the time of application) on the founding team of an existing business venture -- or past business venture that they have successfully exited from.
We look for businesses with accelerating revenue models and a plan for sustainability or a profitable exit. The typical YEC candidate has either a minimum of $1M annual revenue and/or has secured a minimum of $1M in financing for their current venture(s); while the majority of candidates report significantly higher revenues or financing, these are a good baseline criteria. (Those who do not yet meet these criteria are encouraged to join #StartupLab, our free mentorship program.)
We look for company founders who have been recognized and awarded by reputable organizations for operating successful businesses in their given industry (for example, by Inc. 30 Under 30, Forbes 30 Under 30, Crains 40 Under 40, Business Journals 40 Under 40, Entrepreneur 30 Under 30, among others).
We want our members to be as passionate about giving back to the entrepreneurship ecosystem as we are. We seek out members who have exemplified true leadership in the startup community by giving back through volunteering, investing, donating, mentoring or otherwise.
We look for members who are widely recognized as the thought leaders in their respective industries and look at various contributions each candidate has made online and offline to the larger entrepreneurship brain trust.
Today, Scott Gerber is a serial entrepreneur, internationally syndicated business columnist, author (Never Get a "Real" Job) and TV commentator.
But early in his entrepreneurial career, as a college student, he found himself making "every possible mistake one could make as a rookie entrepreneur" -- which led to the failure of his first business.
At that moment, he made a promise to himself: if he ever succeeded in the future, he would work to ensure that no young entrepreneur ever felt alone or struggled without the proper resources again.
Gerber knew he needed candid advice and support from his fellow Gen Y entrepreneurs who'd been there, done that.
Nearly a decade later, with several successful businesses in tow, he realized his vision with the first version of the Young Entrepreneur Council: an informalbrain trust of like-minded peers who wanted to help each other's businesses grow, while also supporting the millions of aspiring young entrepreneurs just getting started.
"We want to aggregate the best of the best."
From the start, the YEC was an invitation-only forum to exchange ideas and resources, make high-value connections and provide needed mentorship.
When Gerber met Ryan Paugh -- Brazen Careerist co-founder and "something of a cult legend in the online community-building world" -- they began building out the YEC community on a larger scale.
A few short years later, "the most elite entrepreneurship organization in America" -- to date, the invite-only organization has accepted just a few hundred out of over 11,000 applications -- is helping disrupt business mentorship and the professional business organization model as we know it.
Paying it forward while supporting each other's growth is integral to YEC's mission to empower young entrepreneurs, who, across the board, believe that doing well and doing good are not mutually exclusive -- nor should they be.
To that end, the YEC has led various public campaigns to improve access to and policy around entrepreneurship, from the #FixYoungAmerica grassroots campaign to the Youth Entrepreneurship Act, Gen Y Capital Partners and, most recently, the launch of #StartupLab, a virtual mentorship program (in partnership with Citi) that helps millions of aspiring and current entrepreneurs launch and grow new businesses.
"Everything we do at the YEC is meant to fulfill a social need and promote free enterprise at the same time," says Gerber.
"If we can create a series of mentorship programs for aspiring entrepreneurs, and unprecedented access to high-level resources and connections for our elite members at the same time, then we've achieved something very powerful."

Find & share great dishes, not just restaurants.
Find whatever you're craving, see what's good at any restaurant and learn what foodspotters, friends and experts love wherever you go.
The only thing that's Dutch about this puffed pancake is that it's so large and filling you can split it (and its cost!) with someone else. Though it's nothing like its huge thin, flat brethren served up in Amsterdam, the name is meant to imply that this isn't your traditional stack, but rather a singular sensation cooked in the oven—a function of necessity, given the limited real estate of Prune's teeny kitchen that prohibits the use of several burners required for flipping conventional flapjacks. Instead, expect a soft, airy cake that tastes pretty much like a fluffy Madeleine cookie with four pear slices baked in for subtle sweetness. It's served with maple syrup and two slices of smoky Canadian bacon, both of which are, indeed, authentic. ($14)

Resilient Cities
With more severe storms on the horizon, how should cities and towns prepare?
The phrase is: "The new normal." The world we used to know...one where Connecticut seemed neatly tucked away from hurricanes and tornadoes, destructive storm surges and catastrophic snowstorms.
That world is gone, replaced by one where every year brings another life-threatening emergency...or three. You've heard the governor of New York Andrew Cuomo talking about how the city's systems weren't designed to withstand the rush of water from a storm like Sandy - that flooded tunnels and subways and caused billions in damage. You've heard Connecticut Governor Dannell Malloy trying to address this issue too.
Today, only a few days after Sandy left hundreds of thousands in the dark, and did untold amounts of damage to shoreline communities, we're thinking about how cities and towns bounce back - how they become "resilient."
It's not a conversation about whether climate change is at the root of all this - that's for this afternoon's Colin McEnroe Show - but it's about how we're adapting - or not - to deal with things we've never seen.
We'll talk to earth science experts, engineers and architects - and with you. How should we be rebuilding to deal with next year's Storm Sandy? And are you willing to pay more - maybe a lot more - to make this happen?
