Product Description
Steinway Model "I" Upright *Restored*
Steinway has a history that is most unique to the piano industry – so much so that many books have been written on the company and its history. Steinway pianos have become as much of a status symbol as they are a wonderful musical instrument. For those who are concerned with musical value over status symbols, most would argue that there are several brands much better than Steinway. In fact, in the widely-accepted piano ratings found in The Piano Book, Steinway is ranked 9th. But for over 150 years, Steinway has been the best that America has to offer, so their popularity in America is fueled by a rich history, placements in concert halls across America, Steinway's Concert Artist endorsement program and a savvy marketing department. The superior-rated European brands tend to market less in the U.S. and they build far fewer pianos (100-1000 annual production) than Steinway (5000 annual production), so their notoriety among non-musicians in America is scarce.

The second stop on my tour of Dickens's novel-length fiction, Oliver Twist is not one of my favourites, but it is perhaps one of his most memorable. Its strengths lie solidly in its opening: Where the first of Dickens's novels, The Pickwick Papers, began in a way rambling and bucolic, the opening chapters of Oliver Twist are a swift introduction to Dickens's acerbic wit. He manages to elicit simultaneous laughter and disgust with his descriptions of situations, and people, so horrifying, like the unfortunate expiration of most of the orphans left in the care of Mrs. Mann, the woman who raises Oliver until he is old enough to enter the workhouse, just as she's close to getting the poor mites to subsist on nothing but air. Every authority figure to whom little Oliver can look for succour is unflinchingly self-important and corrupt, and Dickens lays bare his contempt for the workhouses, the officials, and the New Poor Law that condemns so many, including orphans like Oliver, to starve in their halls.
Though not exactly like Oliver, because Oliver isn't much of a person. Dickens is sometimes criticised for a perceived lack of depth in his characterisation, and it's a criticism I tend not to agree with very much, because I think that most of his protagonists, be they Nicholas Nickleby or David Copperfield or Pip, have a distinct sense of corporeality to them drawn from Dickens's own character. Oliver, though, brings little of that to the page. He begins his journey as a figure too saintly to be true, whose lack of agency is couched in piteousness too overwrought to elicit quite as much sympathy as it ought. It's not a terrible starting point balanced against the fire of Dickens's anger and the bite of his sarcasm, but I rather expected to see Oliver come into his own upon acquiring more worldly experience.
For a while, it looks like he will, with his introduction to the lively cast of Fagin's crew. Fagin himself was a problematic character even to some of Dickens's contemporaries, leading him to edit later editions of the book and be more conscious of his attitudes towards the Jewish community; to the modern reader, the blatant ethnic stereotyping and the literally devilish qualities assigned to the character are downright offensive. But the early days of Oliver's time with him remain some of the better chapters of the novel nonetheless, because while the workhouse setting is the ideal channel for Oliver Twist's social commentary, this is where it briefly becomes a character-led story, and what characters there are to lead it. I will forever wish the Artful Dodger might've had his own tale, though other authors have since walked that path; he commands every page he's on, and for such a memorable personage, there are too few of those. I like to imagine a tale in which Oliver benefitted from exposure to his streetwise smarts and used them to seize some agency of his own, and find a way out from under Fagin's thumb.
What we get instead is an Oliver who fades into the background of his own story until he is a pawn shuttled about so much that his passivity, his wide-eyed innocence, becomes grating. I think this is an area where the serialisation hurt the story, because that initial fire is given time to gutter out. Once the Maylies come into the picture it feels a little like Dickens lost interest in telling the story of Oliver Twist as opposed to writing one of his more painful odes to his late sister-in-law, complete with melodramatic laments from a fallen woman on never having the opportunity to be more like the character who represents her. Oliver is the means through which the latter half of the story comes about, but it is not his story.
I think Dickens also undermined his portrayal of the plight of the poor by giving Oliver a background of secret wealth, the better to tie things up in a bow full of happy endings. It suggests that the reason Oliver was worth saving is because he was someone all along, someone of money and society even if he didn't know it, rather than supporting the notion that everyone's essential rights, needs, and human dignity are worth recognition and support.
Almost everything that Dickens does in Oliver Twist, he does better somewhere else. That makes it difficult to articulate why it's a book to which the memory clings so hard. Perhaps it's the legion of adaptations it's inspired, which gives more life to the sometimes lifeless page, though I then ask myself what made the book capture so many imaginations that it led to all of those adaptations in the first place. Perhaps it's just the young man's fire with which it's written, since Dickens was only in his mid-twenties when he authored it. It's certainly one of his angriest books, and after reading, it's hard not to feel a shadow of that in your chest when you think of the phrase 'Please, sir, I want some more'.

90 days notification, all you need to know and a calculator
If you are staying in Thailand for the long term, either you like it or not every 90 days you have a date… with your immigration officer. It is the 90 Day Report, a bureaucratic process which purpose is to have a periodic check-in of the whereabouts of every foreigner staying in the nation.
It is not a difficult process and luckily it is free, but if you fail to comply with this requirement you will get fined 2000 baht if you "surrender" yourself and up to 5000 otherwise. And it's not difficult for this to happen, as you are the one who have to calculate the dates and do all the work.
What is the 90 Days Report?
Thailand's 90 Days Report is a simple notification to tell Thai's immigration that you are alive and well, still staying on Thailand soil. You have the obligation to notify every 90 days by submitting a form and some hard copies of your passport.
As its sole purpose is to notify you are in the Kingdom, the required papers are easy to prepare. These are the requirements:
- A completely filled and sign form TM 47 (Download)
- Your original previous receipt of 90 days report, if any
- Photocopy of your Passport, including pages for
- your name and photo
- your last visa to enter Thailand
- the entry stamp
- your last extension of visa
- the TM.6, also known as the Departure card, normally stapled in your passport
The form itself is rather simple to fill. All you need to do is fill your name, basic information and your current address. Sign, and done.
When do I have to do this?
UPDATE: We have created a very simple app which will help you calculate the different dues for your 90 days report right on your Android phone. It is free, easy-to-use, don't use any battery and takes few space, so give it a try and if you have any comments about it, let us know!
It is your duty to calculate when your 90 days report is due, and that can be tricky, so I have prepared a little tool next to this text -or above, if you are on mobile- to help you. Insert your arrival time or the last time you sent the 90 days report and the system will calculate the deadlines for you. Please note that I cannot guarantee the accuracy and the tool and you should always double check the result to avoid a fine.
As it is fairly obvious, you need to make a 90 Days Report every 90 days. They start counting as soon as you step in Thailand, and they stop counting whatsoever if you ever leave. Next time you come back, they start back to zero.
However there are some complications. If you ask for a Visa extension, the first time will count as a 90 day notification, but only the first time. If you make a consecutive extension it will not have the same effect and therefore you are still on the 90 days basis.
You have to consider that the due date for the 90 days report is not fixed, but it is a range of date based on the way you choose to send the form. See more about this below on the next paragraph.
Note: Although it is called 90 Days Notification, the way the immigration office counts 90 can vary. Sometimes it is counted just adding 3 months to the date (28 July -> 28 October) but other times it is actually counted 90 days. To avoid fruitless and unnecesary fights, just don't wait till the last days to find out you missed for a day or two.
Let's see some example
Let's say you enter Thailand on 1st August with a NON-IMM visa for 3 months. At the end of your visa, in November, you ask for a one year extension and even though you have been 90 days in the country, you do not need to make the 90 days report.
You get your year-long extension on 1st November and therefore are due to make the 90 days report 3 months later, in February, in May, and in August. In November your extension is expiring and if you get another one, it doesn't count as a 90 days report, so you are also due for one.
How to do a 90 Days Report
As stated before, the 90 Days Report is a rather simple process and there are different ways to comply with the system: you can do it in person, by mail and by Internet.
1. In person
For those who like certainty there is nothing like doing the process yourself and in person. This means you have to go to the closest immigration checkpoint in the province you are residing and bring your passport, the form (you can get it there too) and, well, yourself.
You can use this option from 15 days before to 7 days after the due date. If you missed the time and are way over the week after the deadline, this is your only way to go and clear the bill, which will be a 2000 baht fine.
This method should be reserved for emergencies, as it will definitely cost you some transportation money and, more specially, your time. The queue can take hours in the good 'old Chaengwattana complex, but remember that if you are in Bangkok, you can also do this at Imperial World Ladprao and at Major Hollywood Suksawat
2. By mail
My personal favorite is the report by mail. Instead of going to the immigration office, you put all the documents inside and envelope and send it there. They will eventually process it and send the receipt back to you. It will just cost you some stamp money and two envelopes.
You can use this option up to 15 days before the due date. If you are passed that time, you can only do it in person or… by Internet.
The documents are the same as if you did it in person, but you also need to include an envelope with your address in there and a 10 baht stamp affixed, so the immigration officer can use it to send the receipt back to you. The biggest envelope must be addressed by registered mail or EMS to:
Chalermprakiat Government Complex
3. Online
Surprisingly there is an option to do the 90 days report online, and unsurprisingly it doesn't work really well. I managed to finished the process once, but in later attempts I haven't had such luck. Basically you have to fill the form online, and wait for its approval.
You can use this option specifically during a week period starting 15 days before the due date. After that week is gone, you have to do it in person.
The website for the 90 Days Report Online only works on Internet Explorer (if you use other browser it kind of freezes) and you need to accept a security exception because of an expired certificate. Some recommendations for a better chance of success:
- Don't wait till the last day to do this
- Disable the AdBlocker or anything else you suspect might be interfiering
- In Edge browser, use the IE compatibility mode
Save the receipt of your submission or, even better, print it. In a 7 day period you may or might not receive an e-mail telling you that your submission have been processed, so you can can go to the same website to check the results using the TR number that you got at the end of the form.
The sooner you send…
As you can see before, the due dates are kind of strict and confusing in a way, but wait, there is more. Your next appointment will be 90 days after they got your notification, instead of being based on your due. This means the sooner you send the notification, the sooner you will have to go back for more. Try to get as close to the due as possible or you will have to do it more often.

The Full 90
Nielsen signs extension
Sporting has signed goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen to a contract extension.
The extension will keep Nielsen, 34, in Kansas City through 2013 with an option for 2014.
"There was never a question that I wanted to stay, after Peter told me that he would like me here as well," Nielsen said in a statement. "I've only had Sporting on my mind, and I'm excited to play in front of our fans for the next couple of years that lie ahead as we work towards winning a championship."
Nielsen, who joined the team in 2010, started 31 matches and posted a goals-against average of 1.14 this season, when he was named the team's MVP.
Vermes said that after speaking with Nielsen, who was believed to be considering retirement, he believes the veteran keeper will play two more years, minimum.

This week two major announcements were made regarding the Psychonauts series. On December 3rd, the crowdfunding campaign for Psychonauts 2 was announced and only three days later on December 6th, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin was announced.
Psychonauts 2 is already 60% towards its crowdfunded budget. In nearly four days, backers have contributed a whopping amount of almost two million dollars towards the sequel, bringing it very close to its $3,300,000 dollar budget.
The game will be released on PlayStation, PC, Xbox One and Apple products.
You can find the following information regarding the sequel on the game's crowdfunding site:
"In Psychonauts 2, Raz realizes his dream and visits Psychonauts Headquarters. However, when he gets there, he finds it's not the perfect place he expected and quickly realizes that the Psychonauts need him more than he needs them."
Slated for release in 2016, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin will be one of the first games to feature PlayStation's new VR (virtual reality) component. In an email from Double Fine they state:
"Just to be clear, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is 100% separate from the Fig campaign for Psychonauts 2 — separate mission, separate funding! It's a totally separate game that will bridge the story gap between the original Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2, and we're really excited about it!"

Vermont Garagista with a European Sensibility
It was a soft August day, a light breeze dappling the vineyard in the hills of Barnard, Vermont. Deirdre Heekin reached across her farmhouse table to pour me a glass of her 2011 Marquette Vergennes Rouge, the second vintage of this wine.
I swirled and sniffed. Limpid berry pink with a fuchsia rim, it yielded aromas of mint, fennel and faint floral cherry. Peppery on the palate, it had bracing acidity and a short, clean finish, all hallmarks of a cool-climate red. "This wine is as old-fashioned as possible," she said, swirling her own glass. "All wild yeast, no de-acidification, no chaptalization, no funny business— nothing."
Then she poured the 2010 vintage, a warmer year. It was a bigger wine, with more pronounced cherry fruit and hints of eucalyptus above the mint. But this was still not your typical American red.
"My wines definitely are higher in acidity, and I think they're actually better with food," Deirdre said. "I don't look to California as a model. Aesthetically, that's not the direction I'd like to go in. Instead, I'm looking to Austria, Germany, Northern Italy and parts of France." Wines from those cooler regions tend to be savory with a pronounced mineral aspect, rather than fruity and soft. They're also meant to be enjoyed as part of a meal—true gastronomy wines.
Deirdre should know. An experienced restaurateur and sommelier, she and her husband, Caleb Barber, run Osteria Pane e Salute, a flawlessly authentic Italian restaurant in Woodstock, Vermont. Their seasonal menu features ingredients sourced from Vermont producers, including the couple's own gardens. Deirdre's wine list is a trove of rare indigenous Italian varieties.
But why make wine herself?
"It started as an educational project for my work as a wine director," she said. "I knew intellectually how wine was made, but there were pieces missing in my view of the process. What is fermentation? What is malolactic? I needed to know what making wine felt like."
So about six years ago, she began traveling in France and Italy, muddying her boots in the vineyards alongside organic and Biodynamic winegrowers. She also began to connect with Vermont winemakers who were making wine from local fruit. Emboldened, she bought some grapes and made her own wine, garagiste style.
Then in the summer of 2008, she and Caleb visited Lincoln Peak Vineyard in New Haven, Vermont. It was an epiphany: serious wine, grown right here in Vermont. They left that day with vine cuttings to plant on their own two-acre parcel. La Garagista was born.
From that first small planting of 50 vines, their vineyard has grown to 1,200, mostly Marquette and La Crescent, plus Riesling, Blaufränkisch and Frontenac Blanc, Gris and Noir. In 2011, she produced her first tiny vintage using fruit from her own land. By 2013, production will be in full swing.
In the meantime, she has made wine from grapes grown at Mina Brothers Vineyard in Vergennes, Vermont. The learning curve has been steep. "All those guys in France, in Italy—they've got generations behind them, and a community in which they can compare notes," Deirdre said. In Vermont, viticulture's still new. Snow Farm in South Hero was the first to plant, in 1996, but the state still has only 23 licensed wineries, compared to 3,400 in California, for example.
"Everybody's vineyard is an experiment. We can share information, but nobody has definitive answers. I'm learning as I go along." Deirdre farms organically, attending to vineyard soil and vine health using Biodynamic preparations and composts, and covercropping with plants like buckwheat. She harvests manually, footstomps the fruit, relies on native yeasts for fermentation and ages the wines in glass demi-johns instead of oak to preserve their purity and freshness. She does conduct some bâtonnage, or lees stirring, to impart savoryness and a creamy texture, and uses a tiny amount of sulfur at bottling to prevent spoilage. But these are minimal interventions with a long tradition in European winemaking. She shuns any modulations of a wine's acidity, sweetness, alcohol or color, preferring to respond intuitively to what the wine needs, rather than transform it into something else, something more mainstream.
Her 2011 Vinu Jancu is a case in point. The name means "orange wine" in an old Sicilian dialect. This style is made by fermenting white grapes on their skins, imparting flavor compounds and tingeing the wine a salmon color. It's a centuries-old process, but you're not likely to find these wines on supermarket shelves.
Deirdre chose this approach for her white after tasting orange wines from Georgia, Slovenia and Friuli—also cool growing regions. "I loved each of them for their incredible texture and finish, but it was the aromatics that blew me away. They reminded me of what I was starting to experience in my own Vergennes Blanc. I felt this would be an interesting way to approach the La Crescent grape."
She poured me a taste. The wine was a pale burnished peach color. Honeyed aromas of spring blossoms wafted over nutty, yeasty notes with sherry-like oxidation. Fully dry with great acidity, the wine had an enchanting texture and haunting flavor. She made only about 20 gallons of this wine, bottling it in 375ml glass, which makes it seem even more precious. "It may be our signature wine," Deirdre said, "and one of our biggest triumphs to date."
But her greatest excitement still lies in the learning process. "Really, my biggest triumph has been not messing around too much with the wine. Wine is a living thing, and wants to express itself in a particular way. These wines are teaching me to make wine in a very classic, hands-off style, so that terroir can come forth," she said. "There is a lot to learn."
Vermont wine: The difference isn't just in our soil and climate— it's in the grapes.
European grapes like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay aren't hardy in regions like ours that can hit –35°F. Many Vermont winegrowers have planted French-American hybrid grapes, newer crossings that blend the cold-hardiness of indigenous North American varieties, particularly Vitis riparia, with the fruit character of the European grape, Vitis vinifera.
The University of Minnesota's wine grape program, established in the mid-1980s, has produced several cold-hardy varieties now in production in Vermont, including Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, La Crescent and Marquette. Other hybrids common here include white Seyval Blanc and Traminette and red Baco Noir and Marechal Foch.
Wines made from these hybrids are somewhat akin to their European progenitors, especially aromatically. But they can also be more acidic, less tannic and lower in alcohol, which makes them challenging to wine drinkers accustomed to riper, more fruit-driven styles.
So, to create a commercially viable product more approachable to American palates, some cold-climate winemakers tinker with their wines to soften, de-acidify or add structure. Others take a hands-off approach, preferring to let the soil, grape and vintage speak, and to produce a wine expressive of the place it's grown— its terroir.

Life Cycle CO2e Assessment of low carbon cars 2020 - 2030
March 8, 2016
In 2013 the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (LowCVP) commissioned thinkstep to carry out a study called "Life Cycle Assessment of low carbon cars 2020 – 2030." The aim of the study was to look at the performance of passenger cars from a life cycle approach, not limited to tail pipe emissions as the only measure of environmental performance.
This report, the "Life Cycle CO2e Assessment of Low Carbon Cars 2020-2030", is the outcome of a study commissioned by the LowCVP following on from previous report "Preparing for a Life Cycle CO2 Measure" prepared for the LowCVP by Ricardo. Two of the main conclusions of the Ricardo study were that future CO2e metrics for passenger cars need to go beyond the tail-pipe measures and take into account whole life cycle CO2e emissions to more fully account for environmental impacts, especially when comparing different vehicle technologies. Additionally, embodied CO2e emissions associated with vehicle production and disposal become a more significant part of the lifecycle as the use phase decarbonises. This study leads on from the Ricardo study to improve understanding of lifecycle CO2e emissions of different vehicle technologies over the next two decades.
The objectives of this study are:
- To estimate how total lifecycle CO2e emissions will change for different vehicle technologies in the future;
- To estimate how the balance of CO2e emissions associated with individual lifecycle stages will vary for different technologies in the future; and
- To assess the sensitivity of the study outputs to the choice of input assumptions and to determine those parameters having the most impact on the total lifecycle CO2e emissions for each vehicle technology.

Are you a ski beginner, heading to the mountains for the first time this winter? Or do you just want a taste of the sport before you commit to a proper holiday? If the answer's 'yes' to either of those questions, get yourself to an indoor ski slope as soon as possible.
There are currently six in the UK: the SnowDome at Tamworth, The Snow Centre at Hemel Hempstead, Chillfactore in Manchester, Snow Factor in Braehead, and the Snozones in Milton Keynes and Castleford. Each is, essentially, a giant fridge – complete with added snow cannons and underfloor cooling. And there's no better place for ski beginners in the UK to start their skiing career.
Here's why.
1. You can get a taste of snow for less than £30
First of all, you don't have to commit to a big spend. A taster session at an indoor ski slope will take you from your first click into ski bindings all the way to the snowplough turn. The price includes skis, boots and your ski instructor – and you can hire ski clothing too (though you'll need to bring a pair of gloves).
Prices vary. At the Snow Factor in Braehead, for example, a 90-minute taster costs £29 for adults and £25 for children if you join a group. Or you could book a 90-minute private lesson: £129 for a family of four.
At the Chillfactore a 50-minute taster is £27 for adults, £22 for children and £88 for a family of four.
Groups of friends/school children/university students etc can usually get discounts – visit the Go Ski Go Board website for details.
2. There's more than enough slope to learn on
Yes, it's only a fridge. But when you're a complete beginner, you only need a few metres of snow. Your first taster session/lesson will be spent partly on the flat, and partly on a little bit of nursery slope next to main ski area. It'll take two or three hours of lessons to progress from there to the big slope – where you'll be happy for several more lessons after that.
3. There are several ways to progress
In most indoor ski slopes you can book a course of lessons over several weeks, or go for a "learn to ski in a day" session: expect to pay £160 – £190pp for this. However you do it, the costs are going to add up. But let's face it, it's a lot cheaper than a ski holiday: and by the time you've completed a whole course of lessons, you'll have got as far as you would have on day 3 or 4 in the mountains.
Bear in mind that you can often cut costs by becoming a member of your local indoor ski slope – which will unlock a range of discounts.
4. Tuition is well structured – and British
Instruction is broken down into bite-size chunks, and even the most nervous ski beginners can cope. You start by pushing yourself on one ski, and only move onto two skis when you're comfortable. Nevertheless, in spite or perhaps because of this patient approach most beginners will be happily sliding downhill in their first snowplough by the end of the first lesson.
It really helps that your instructor is a Brit, too: he or she will know instinctively how Brits like to be taught, and understands (unlike some Alpine instructors) that you don't have to suffer when you learn to ski.
5. When you do get to the mountains you'll be well ahead of the game
The biggest payoff of all comes in the mountains. Complete beginners find the first few days in a ski resort bamboozling, and pretty exhausting, too. But after a course of lessons at an indoor ski slope, you'll be familiar with the equipment, the techniques and even some of the lifts. Chances are, before the end of the first week, you'll be cruising the easier intermediate pistes with ease.
By the way, you can also get taster sessions and beginner courses in the many outdoor ski slopes dotted around the UK – find your nearest one on the Go Ski Go Board website.
That said, there's nothing quite like learning on proper snow, in a place where the temperature is permanently low. The only surprise you'll get on your first proper ski holiday is how beautiful the scenery is.
Here's how a typical first lesson works – at the The Snow Centre at Hemel Hempstead. Note that most beginners don't get quite as far as these two did in their first hour…

Good ole Butler, good caoch in the reg season, once the playoff's come though, not sure what happens, his teams always find away to lose come playoffs, good team or bad team, not sure why.
I got another buddy going down to Halifax for a skate this week. The BS thing about the Q is, if a team from the Q wants you and you live in Ontario, you have to go through all OHL teams and they all have to pass on you before you can sign there.
It's the same deal when a player from Q wants to come play in the OHL, every team in the Q has to to say no to that player.
Seeing as Thoomas played for the Toronto Marlboros, what do you know about Aaron Pearce who also played for the Marlboros last season?
No idea to be honest. I'd only know Clendening, Chiarlitti, and Thomas from the Marlies. Any of the kids on that team are pretty solid players though, them and the Jr Canadiens used to have some great games.
You're a Petes fan.
Thomas Stajan was named to the Leafs rookie team today actually. Should be a good tournament in Kitchener.

I never thought this day would come, this will be Brian Kilrea's last season coaching the Ottawa 67's.....
Also sounds like Pat Quinn will coach Team Canada at the WJHC's this Christmas....
Was at the Brampton Excelsior's game last night with my buddy Pereira (who has made the Battalion), and the Battalion euro Evgeny Grachev. He's a big boy who's hoping to make the Rangers this year or else he'll probably end up in the O. Interesting to talk to a Russian about the whole playing in Russia vs North America issue.

TSN ranked Hedman over Tavares for next years draft.
I do think he will have a huge season though, around 130-150 Pts.
I keep hearing this Hedman kid is the next Pronger.
One week tonight and the OHL Reg season starts.

Here is something Cayuga and Habs fans might like to read about...
__________________________________________________ __________________
Just for the record, Missiaen's Jr team the Petes is the Jr team I follow the most, they opened the OHL season tonight with a 4-1 win over Kingston, Missiaen made it back in time for the game tonight from Habs camp and looked really good, he made some big saves tonight.
I'm not sure what the Habs have planed down the road for him though with Price in net, maybe his backup in a few years, who know's, I think Missiaen will at least play one more season in the OHL after this one, so that's still a few years away.

In the late 1980's, the Friedmans - father and respected computer and music teacher Arnold Friedman, mother and housewife Elaine Friedman, and their three grown sons, David Friedman, Seth Friedman and Jesse Friedman - of Great Neck, Long Island, are seemingly your typical middle class American family. They all admit that the marriage was by no means close to being harmonious - Arnold and Elaine eventually got divorced - but the sons talk of their father, while also not being always there for them, as being a good man. This façade of respectability masks the fact that Arnold was buying and distributing child pornography. Following a sting operation to confirm this fact, the authorities began to investigate Arnold for sexual abuse of the minor-aged male students of his computer classes, which he held in the basement of the family home. Based on interviews with the students, not only... IMDb

Intel is a company that has an optimistic and pragmatic view of AI's impact on society, jobs and daily life, believing that it will mimic other profound transformations – from the industrial to the PC revolutions.
Intel's belief is that AI will bring significant, new opportunities to transform business - from retail to healthcare to manufacturing - and have an immensely positive impact on society.
AI will make the impossible possible: advancing research on cancer, Parkinson's disease, brain disorders; helping to find missing children, and furthering scientific efforts in climate change, space exploration and oceanic research.
To drive AI innovation, Intel is making strategic investments spanning technology, R&D and partnerships with business, government, academia and community groups.
It is deeply committed to unlocking the promise of AI: conducting research on neuromorphic computing, exploring new architectures and learning paradigms.
It has also invested in startups like Mighty AI, Data Robot, and Lumiata through its Intel Capital portfolio and have invested more than US$1billion in companies that are helping to advance artificial intelligence.
Brian Kzranich, Intel CEO, believes Intel will be the AI platform of choice, offering unmatched reliability, performance, security and integration.
"We are 100% committed to creating the roadmap of optimised products to support emerging mainstream AI workloads."
AI solutions require a wide range of power and performance to meet application needs.
To support the sheer breadth of future AI workloads, businesses will need unmatched flexibility and infrastructure optimisation so that both highly specialised and general purpose AI functions can run alongside other critical business workloads.
The Intel Nervana AI portfolio aims to deliver that with:
"AI is still in its infancy and as the space evolves we'll continue to advance disruptive approaches in compute that support the complex workloads of today and tomorrow," says Kzranich.

At the risk of total blog-neglect, I am going ahead and posting about Joe's 2nd birthday almost an entire week after the event- "bad-mom-blogger" is my middle name.
Since he is my first boy, every little milestone feels like he's the first born, sort of. It all feels really different and new, and since all my previous 2nd birthdays were full of baby dolls and princesses, having a 2nd birthday that was entirely Hotwheels-centered was so fun.
Joe LOVES his little Hotwheels cars. It is the thing he runs to in our play room before anything else. He recently started asking me to make a little slide out of our duplos for his cars to go down, so when I sat and thought about a gift he would like, a race car track seemed most appropriate. However, I had no idea how very complex race track making is if you go the Hotwheels route, and they don't really make toddler tracks for Hotwheels. BUT! When Mike showed me this not-so-little puppy on amazon...
And then, then!!-- it was clearanced at Target-- in the store!! Coincidence? I think not.
He loved it, as did his sisters, who ever-so graciously gave him a turn or two (insert eye-roll emoji).
Mike found a pretty fabulous lot of "new" cars at a local thrift store too and although this picture is blurry it gives you a good idea of Joe's excitement when he opened each new bag of "MORE CARSH!!!",
Which is what he is excitedly screaming at Mike in the picture.
His favorite fruit is strawberries, so I went ahead and made the Pioneer Woman's Strawberry Shortcake recipe, thinking he would love it (but maaaybe more because I love it, double eye-roll emoji).
And of course he ended up refusing to try it and eating plain vanilla ice cream instead. Did I mention he just turned two? He is owning it like a boss.
Happy 2 years to you Joe, my sweet, sassy, hilarious first boy.

Google announced their new "Pages" feature to Google+ on their blog. The theme of their blog post centers around being able to connect with all the things you care about. Google+ Pages have been a long time in the making and are similar to the group and business pages you see on Facebook. They allow you to socialize with your favorite brands and businesses, in addition to people.
Organizations can go to plus.google.com/pages/create to start their new page. Though they said the new "Pages" feature rolls out worldwide today, it doesn't appear to be available everywhere just yet. When I tried to create a page earlier, I received the message picture below.
The addition of "Pages" allows businesses to interact with their customers in new ways. Customers can now +1 a page or add them to their circles so they can always see updates from them. Google seems to be embracing the philosophy of connecting to people. Here is a quote from their blog:
behind every page (or storefront, or four-door sedan) is a passionate group of individuals, and we think you should able to connect with them too.
Google shared the following video to introduce their new "Pages" feature.
Google+ Pages will now be included in Google search results. Google has also introduced a "Direct Connect" feature for its search engine. For example, if you are an Angry Birds fan, then you can type a "+" symbol followed by Angry Birds in the search box and it will take you directly to their Google+ page. Apparently there are only a limited number of "Direct Connect" pages available at this time. The video below gives a little more detail of how this works.
The roll out of Google+ Pages has been long awaited by Google+ users. Facebook has allowed organizations and businesses to do similar pages for quite a while now. To be quite honest, there doesn't appear to be anything innovative with this new offering however, it was imperative that they add this functionality. It will be interesting to see how businesses and organizations embrace the new pages. I believe a lot of their success will depend on how easy the interface is to work with.
What do you think? Is this too little too late? Are you excited about the opportunity to build your own page? Please let us know what you think. We love hearing from our readers.

The Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI) is an industry-led effort to enhance traceability throughout the entire produce supply chain. The Initiative's sponsor associations include United Fresh Produce Association (United Fresh), Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) and Produce Marketing Association (PMA). The PTI Action Plan outlines the steps for achieving traceability at the case-level by 2012.
The produce industry has endorsed the Produce Traceability Initiative to build a common framework for standardized case labeling and streamlined connectivity across the supply chain. This initiative states each member of the supply chain will implement its own internal traceability system requiring common pieces of information to be tracked, to achieve visibility from farm to fork.
Paragon Labeling Systems understands this initiative, and has automated labeling products available to help companies comply with this mandate. Our solution allows end-users to comply with the PTI by automatically applying the required PTI information on every case of produce in your supply chain. Our solution is designed to enhance the value of your existing produce business system, while simultaneously cutting cost. Each installation is tailored for the individual operation.

What is the difference between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0
By Koder at Thu, 01/07/2010 - 13:48
There is a new standard in the USB world called USB 3.0, in this article we will discuss the difference between USB 2,0 and USB 3.0. Universal Serial Bus or USB, as you all know is the most popular connection standard between devices and a host controller (usually located on a computer). USB has undergone many revisions and the latest USB hardware spec to come out is version 3.0, after version 1 and 2. Everything from your flash drives, mice, keyboard, PDAs, Game Consoles, GPS chargers, cell phone connectors and chargers, GPS devices and bluetooth head sets all use USB in one form or the other. So lets see whats the differences between the most popular USB 2 and just out USB 3 standard are
Let me begin by saying that USB 3.0 is a major advancement over USB 2.0, far greater in impact than what USB 2 was over USB 1.0 . The biggest difference is the speed at which it can communicate with the computer's host controller and the biggest advantage is that it can maintain a backwards compatibility with USB 1 and 2.0. USB 2 had a maximum speed of 480 Mbps, which was great at that time but now it might not be enough because we now have USB thumb drives that are 64 GB in size, cell phone and PDAs that have a lot of internal storage built in, and even at 480 Mbps a full transfer of data in between devices can take a long time. In comparison to this, USB 3.0 boasts a maximum transfer speed of 4.8 Gbps yes, 4.8 Giga bits per second, almost 10 times faster than USB 2.0. Even with realistic numbers you can transfer data between your computer to a 64 Gigabyte thumb drive to full capacity in under 20 minutes!
Faster speed is not the only difference, power usage and requirements for USB 3 devices are much "greener". The USB 3 devices will provide more power when needed to the device to achieve a maximum throughput and conserve power when the device is connected but is idling. Modern operating systems such as Windows 7 already has support built in for USB 3.0 and Mother Board manufacturers already have the USB 3 port built in on the upcoming motherboards. The USB 3 port on a motherboard is characterised by a blue color (see the two images below showing USB 2 and USB 3 ports).
USB 3 in comparison to USB 2 can communicate its latency potential to the host which results in a better transfer performance, better asynchronous transfers are also going to improve communication between devices. The better transfer rates allow high bandwidth intensive devices and applications such as Hi Def Video streaming, Digital Video recorders etc a perfect candidate for USB 3.0. In comparison to other technologies, USB 3 leaves eSATA as well as Bluetooth protocols far behind in terms of speed and performance. Although there are not many USB 3 devices out there yet, but it will clearly become the standard in this new year 2010. Major operating systems vendors have already incorporated and embraced the standard, the good thing is the backward compatibility will not let your existing USB 2 devices go obsolete for another few years

Data Transfer time
Your data transfer time for USB 3.0 is out by a factor of 10 times slower than actual. See: http://www.calctool.org/CALC/prof/computing/transfer_time Thanks for ecxzellent article oterwise.
The data conversion rate factor is correct
Thanks for your comment. The data conversion rate factor between USB 2 and 3 does differ by a factor of 10 as originally stated in this article. Rather than getting into actual math, I would explain in simple steps:
1. Go to google and type convert 4.8 Gbps to Mbps (Google does conversions for you, no need to go to online calculatores, Google is handy right in your toolbar :) )
2. From above calculation you can see 4.8 Gbps = 4,915.2 Mbps.
3. Now open the calculator on your computer, and do 4195.2 / 480 and you will get 10.23 which means 4915.2 is 10 times 480, hence whats stated in the article above is correct
Sorry Guys
Hey sorry if this has been described already, but will usb 3.0 be able to be used in usb 2.0 apple computer ports?
Yes, USB 3 is backwards
Yes, USB 3 is backwards compatible with USB 2, considering Apple follows standards, if an Apple machine has USB 3 ports, you should be able to plug in any USB 2 device on those ports and make it work. Does that answer your question ?
Re: Sorry Guys
I have a 2TB Seagate Hard Drive w/ a USB 3.0 plug, I run windows 7 but i know that on the hard drive it has the install software for both windows and Apple, so i'm sure it works just the same.
The software is probably for
The software is probably for things like "backup utility program" or similar things. Your Seagate USB drive should not need any drivers or software to talk to Windows Seven. Windows 7 automatically detects USB 3 capable external drives like Seagate and makes them available to you through My Computer or Windows Explorer

This past weekend was BUSY! After Saturday's wedding I drove to Rehoboth, DE for Cortney & Chad's engagement shoot! I had been looking forward to this shoot for months! Shooting on the beach has been a dream of mine and I was so excited to finally have the opportunity! Cortney suggested Rehoboth because she and Chad visit every summer with his family. It's a very special place to them!
We decided to make the most of our time there and divided the shoot into two parts. First, a more casual part of the shoot on the boardwalk! Cortney & Chad brought their adorable yorkie, Sophie, along for this part as well. They've had Sophie for seven years! Cortney brought her home her senior year at Towson, which meant Chad got a dog as well!
We had so much fun looking for locations along the boardwalk. I just love the shots in front of Kohr Bros. because of the classic beach-y vibe. It just screams Rehoboth to me! We were also able to incorporate the games into the shoot. With permission, I hopped behind the counter to shoot Cortney's gorgeous ring on the coke bottles for ring toss! And a willing worker helped set up a shot where Chad 'won' Sophie for Cortney! haha.
The next part of our shoot took place near sunset – ON THE BEACH!! It was amazing. Truly everything I had hoped for. Cortney & Chad were so relaxed and comfortable at this point — they were total pros! I love the way the setting highlighted their love!
Cortney & Chad – I hope you love the preview of your images below! I am so grateful that you were up for a shoot in Rehoboth. I had so much fun and I can't wait for your wedding in Towson next year!

How to Look for The Right Heating And Cooling Company
Talk to the people you trust - what HVAC companies have they hired in the past? Have their experiences with them been good or bad? There is a great chance that you will have the same experiences as well.
Read reviews and testimonial sections - on the whole, do you see the reviews and testimonials a positive or a negative one? You can check the SUperPages, yellow pages, yelp, Angie's list and so on for this. Be sure not to just look on the number score of the ratings. Be certain that you have read the text of the testimonials and use your better judgment. At times, you will certainly learn a lot from the reviews while there are also times where in you will find a hostile or irrational review.
Check the websites at
of the HVAC companies - are they informative? Is their company website created to be of assistance to your as a client? You can usually tell a lot regarding the company just from its website. Do they have any videos that you can watch or any blogs or articles that you can read?
Compare not just the price, but the value as well - it is so tempting to go for an HVAC company just by basing on the price, on the other hand, be sure that you are extra cautious to the lowest bidder. With regards to HVAC, the most affordable choice does not necessarily denote that they are the best one. Keep in mind that HVAC systems are very complicated and the reliability and success of the HVAC systems depend mainly on the abilities of the person who will repair and maintain it. The workers of a HVAC company necessitate to have skills such as refrigeration work, plumbing, electrical and so on. In addition, you also want to make sure that the HVAC technician is NATE certified and is factory trained aside from being completely insured with the company.
Educate yourself - the more things you know, then the better you will be. What tools do you necessitate? What are the various choices for HVAC systems? What do the individual parts of the HVAC does, and how often do they necessitate a maintenance? Knowing the answers to all of these questions will definitely help make sure that you will obtain the best services provided by a reliable and dependable HVAC company at

Better Health Starts Here!
Think about your last Doctor's visit. Did they only give you seven minutes of their time and a prescription? How can you possibly get better that way?
Seven Minutes (the average doctor's visit) is not enough time to make an accurate assessment of what is going on inside your body. And many doctors just prescribe medications to treat the symptoms. Wouldn't you rather eliminate the issue for good? That requires a more in-depth evaluation of the various systems in your body.
This is the core philosophy of Functional Medicine, which involves a "whole body" approach to identifying and addressing health issues. We evaluate every system in your body to determine the root cause of your health issues. For instance, did you know that most problems in the body start in the gut? The gut has an average of 3 pounds of bacteria in it, and if it's not balanced properly, this can lead to a host of health related issues.
You need a comprehensive evaluation and customized care in order to address the root cause of your health problem. That is what WE can offer you.
What Makes Functional Medicine Better?
Functional medicine is a "whole body" approach which focuses on customizing care for each person. Instead of treating the symptoms with short term medications, we identify and address the underlying cause that triggers those symptoms.
Why A Multi-disciplinary Approach Works
Many people believe in a "magic bullet"…that there is one product out there that can solve all of their health issues. However, there are many reasons why multiple modalities give your body the best chance to improve.
Our current and former patients are the best spokespersons we could ever ask for. We strive to help every person we can and appreciate when they respond in kind. Read what they have to say about us and the service we provide.

In an article reporting on a letter from 64 senators urging president Obama to work on the recommendations from the co-chairs of his deficit commission, the Post described President Obama's own smaller budget cuts as "timid." (The sentence appears in the print version, but not in the on-line version.)
This is an interesting perspective. Politicians and policy workers around Washington and the country are being paid billions of dollars by wealthy people like investment banker Peter Peterson to support cuts to programs like Social Security and Medicare. It is interesting the Post apparently thinks that it is brave to harm poor and middle class people to benefit the wealthy, while it is "timid" to support the less privileged.
It is also worth pointing out that the Post wrongly refers to the recommendations from the deficit commission's co-chairs, former Senator Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, as the recommendations of the commission. The commission never voted on their proposals which almost certainly would not have been approved given the stated opposition of several commission members.
