Had a corrupted file causing me fits on my MacBook. Called John and dropped off the computer and next day picked it up clean like new! Knows his stuff and quickly gained my total confidence. Highly recommend if you want expertise, integrity and value!! Thank you John!!
Synopsis: Surprisingly great quality work for an affordable price from a knowledgeable man that was more than worth the price that he deserved a tip that he never asked for. I went to have an old PC I had to be evaluated to see if any upgrades could be possible. He respectfully told me that it is possible but because I wanted a gaming PC, it wouldn't be worth the price. Instead of taking my money (which I was going to offer nonetheless), he gave me some advice of what to look for and to even research what he was saying, in case I doubted him, for he was confident. I got the budget the entry-level gaming PC I desired and, although he never asked for extra money, I tipped him. My only two regrets is that I couldn't rate him 10 stars and that I didn't find this quality small company sooner.
We have used John on numerous occasions for issues with our computers and setting u p our new computers. He is prompt and very professional in what he does. I would highly recommend him for any issues you have with your computer.
My experience with John, owner of JB Computer, has been outstanding! I am totally impressed with his dedication for quality work and customer service. John is so very knowledgeable and stands by his work! It is very refreshing to have someone with his honesty, and integrity, taking care of my computer problems. John now has a lifetime customer!
Kind, knowledgeable, and fast. Couldn't ask for a better network service
John does excellent work, can't recommend him enough. He showed up on a Saturday night to get my business network up and running so I wasn't down on Monday. He is a professional through and through, knows what he is talking about and charges a fair rate. Give him a call, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you for your Superior Customer Service, Fast, Friendly, Reasonable. John and family are awesome to work with! Thanks again, Dave
Repaired my computer in one hour and couldn't beat the price. Hard to find people like this nowadays
Thank you JB Computer for your very prompt response and remedy for my computer problem. I never expected to be back in business overnite.
John is such a loyal and reliable computer technician. He was able to address my issues of non-posting on my pc and address my additional pc issues. He was very inviting and made me feel comfortable as a customer, and was completely legit. I have never had such a pleasant experience with any business owner in a very long time. He offered me a receipt and breakdown when I dropped my pc off to have diagnosed and fixed so I knew I had that peace of mind and kept me updated throughout the day with a positive attitude! Awesome business owner and I recommend anyone who has an issue with their pc or laptop to see him!
I've used this local service three times now.. Very happy.. Trusted Technician..
Awesome service!!! I have used John for his computer expertise and he is great. And, nobody will give you faster service than JB Computer. He's my only go-to guy for computers.
Excellent service, great communication, and very fast! Picked up the phone when I called and got me scheduled right away. Highly recommended!
Jhon got or computer fixed efficiently and also followed up on repairs. I Would recondmend his work! Just before TAX SEASON! Also He built two computers for us and the price we paid was awesome!
Let me say that I hate computers and they hate me, but I'm forced to use them. When they work their great but I think computers sit up at night and figure out ways to vex me. I totally relay on John at JB Computer to keep me up and running. He is patient and takes the time to explain things to me. I'm not a business but John treats me as if I was one of his big accounts. He is available whenever I need him and always has the answer. I give him five stars actually more if they were available. You can't go wrong using JB Computer.
My computer was hardly running and would barely open. I am so grateful for John. He had my computer for 1 day and I got it back and it was like brand new. Worth every penny. I highly recommend this guy for any of your computer or IT needs.
Great service. Was able to fix my computer's problem. I tried to change out my ram stick for a couple of new ones and had issues immediately. They fixed it within minutes. I would recommend to others.
I used JB's computer networking and repair services and I have to admit john is the most knowledgeable and most professional pc repair technician I have ever come across and would recommend his service to anyone and everyone his professionalism is absolutely 5 star worthy
John is a conscientious and dedicated. He completely reworked my company's internet while we continued to work. He tended to all of our employees technology needs including those that don't quite comprehend computers. JB Computers has my highest recommendation.
Contacting JB Computer Networking & Repair for the first time late on a Friday afternoon and desperate to have a professional computer expert with a personality! service my computer hoping the fees would not be off the chart. I found John Bagdonas who happened to answer my call. The best customer service the best computer service I have ever received. I contacted six other computer firms and chose JB Computer. Affordable, professional, fast and I am now a repeat customer for life.
When we called JB Computers we were in a jam. We had a 10-year-old server network and our network administrator (IT guy) was long gone. We needed someone to come in listen to our needs, examine the existing hardware and figure out a solution for us. That is exactly what JB Computers did. John, the owner, helped us determine the most cost-effective way to correct all the problems we had and upgrade some of the hardware to a system that would provide us with all the computing needs for everyone in our household. JB computers set scheduled times with us and were always on time to each appointment, they did not waste our time or money. He explained everything he was going to do beforehand and made sure we understood exactly what was going to happen. In the end we ended up with an up-to-date network, a strong wireless signal throughout the entire house, an automatic backup program, and he took an old backup external hard drive that died years ago and managed to retrieve ALL the information off it that we had thought was lost forever. This included priceless family pictures that were not backed up anywhere else. My sincere thanks to JB Computers for all their work and expertise. We would definitely recommend JB Computer Repair!
Thank you JB Computer Repair for being prompt and getting my computer back up and running.
Amazing service and really fast response times! I definitely recommend coming here before anywhere else. All my questions and concerns were answered to the absolute fullest extent possible and I am more than completely satisfied with the work provided to me. The prices are also an extremely great plus! You bet I'm coming here again before I go anywhere else! Thanks JB!
Had my laptop and my desktop serviced and was very pleased at the work done. My laptop had a virus that basically destroyed it unfortunately but was able to get most of my data out of it because of him. My desktop had an issue with a partial update and was fixed very quickly, as well as cleaned. Will always go to this service anytime I have a PC problem I can't solve myself.
Courteous, honest and considerate of our data security needs -vs- what our kiddos computers needed. Highly recommended!
Excellent service
Fast, courteous service, reasonable prices, AND solved our networking problem when a Cox repair person had stared right at the issue without noticing it - our church is adding John's company to our list of preferred vendors. :)
These guys are awesome. I called them to sort out a patch panel issue and mount an access point. They came out gave me a fair and accurate estimate for the work and were back the next day to get it done. They worked through some issues with the structure, installed the access point with almost no wire visible and fixed the patch panel and labeled it nicely. Good, honest and professional. Couldn't ask for anything more. 10/10 would hire again.
As someone who deals with contractors of all kinds on a daily basis, I can say John was a breath of fresh air. He's extremely knowledgeable, communicates well, is prompt, detailed, does high quality work and is a man of his word. He's definitely a cut above most and worth every dollar.
John was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He obviously knows what he's doing. My problem was user ignorance, but I really didn't mind that much spending the money that I did, because John gave me so much useful information, along the way. He was fabulous.
JB Computer Networking and Repair did a fantastic job in assisting my business move to a different location. John was prompt, diligent, and knowledgeable and I highly recommend his services for all companies in need of an IT expert.
Very impressed with how the business is ran! Honest, hardworking, & very fast. Thankyou!!
Awesome & friendly service , definitely knows his way around a computer!!
I give this company my highest recommendation!! They provided exceptional customer service and were extremely knowledgeable. My wife and I wanted to put our separate home computer systems (2 apple laptops, 1 apple desktop, & 1 PC desktop) together in one network and quickly realized we didn't have the knowledge to do so. After a lot of research, we picked this company and could not be more pleased with our decision. When we called, we talked to John, the owner, and he was able to schedule us immediately. He arrived 5 minutes early for our scheduled appointment, having confirmed our appointment the day before & letting us know when he was on his way to our appointment. During our appointment, he listened carefully to what we wanted to do and then presented us with different solutions in language that was very simple for two older women who know virtually nothing about computers to understand along with an estimate for how much each solution would cost. His prices were the best we'd been quoted. Once we picked an option, he immediately got to work. Since he needed to order some things, he scheduled follow up appointments, which he scheduled at times that worked for our schedule (9pm in one case). He went well above and beyond in trying to save our old computer equipment so we didn't have to buy new stuff. Importantly, he uses the old computer equipment he can't save to refurbish computers that he donates to local shelters!! If you are a research freak like I am, look no further! You have found the best company in the Valley for your home or small business computing needs!!
great experience very helpful
My experience with this company is a prime example of what outstanding professionalism and customer service is supposed to portray. Once I submitted my ticket I had a personal phone call response from the owner who was able to come all the way to Yuma from Phoenix that day to assist my situation. After leaving with my computer I received another phone call that same day letting me know what the results were. Polite, professional integrity, and knowledgeable are great words to describe this company. Thanks !
John has answered all my questions and come out to the house on the week end and in the late evening. He has been able to complete his work in a timely manner and keep our system in tip top condition. We highly recommend him for all our system work.
I called in with questions about my structured wiring box. I have a bit of a background in networking and these guys were great. Helped me figure out what I needed to pick up to get my cat5 ports active through out the home. Knowledgeable, friendly and O would recommend them to anyone. I'm sure they are more than capable of computer repair and home or business networking solutions should you have questions that need answered. They even called back to verify a piece of our conversation, great guys for sure.
Great overall experience, was fast reliable and always kept me up to date on what what happening with my computer with no hidden charges.
John was amazing! My computer crashed and I needed replacement asap due to work trip. He was available, on time and so informative. He went over every question I asked and also recommended additional info for my benefit. He was fair and professional and I will definitely be referring him more business! It is nice to know there are owners still taking customer service, knowledge and ethics seriously.
John, I can't thank you enough for all your help, advice, and for the computer you so graciously set me up with. If anyone is in need of computer repair please don't hesitate to call JB Networking and Repair, you will be happy with pricing and the service. It has been a pleasure doing business with you John.
I called JB Computer Networking and Repair at 3:47am on a Sunday and they actually answered the phone! No recording but an actual person!! My chrome book wouldn't connect to WiFi or HotSpot and I had to have an 18 page lab submitted by 6am. Needless to say, me freaking out, was an understatement...exactly why you don't let your kids play with stuff lol. They were able to send someone out immediately and had my laptop fixed within about 10-15 mins. The tech was great and really smart. He explained what the issue was and showed me how to fix it in case my daughter decided to give me another heart attach again. Not gonna lie, the price was way cheaper than I ever thought it was going to be, especially for it being a 4am job. I'd recommended JB Computer Networking and Repair to anyone, they are complete life savers, and I probably would have failed my class if it wasn't for them!!
I have called many times and I have always had good results even though I am really computer challenged. John has spent more time than actually paid for and I appreciate his help. The price has been very fair as well.
Thanks to JB Computer Networking and Repair my computer is back up and running. i had started online college class and could not get online due to multipal errors and freezing up on me. John came and picked up my laptop right away and had back to me by the very next morning. The price was amazing as i don't have a lot of money to be spending on other things.thank you so much John you r amazing!!!ttyl
Working with John was such a pleasure. He diagnosed the problem and fixed my laptop within a few hours. His work is fantastic and his prices are very fair. I will use him again and I have all ready recommended him to a friend.
Wow amazing service! Showed up on time, explained in detail what was wrong and showed me how to fix it. The price was very fair in fact the best out of the 6 places i called! I will recommend to everyone i know! Thank you
Very professional. Quick to show up and very clever with the troubleshooting. I highly recommend using this service.
Amazing service and very friendly, was on time and has fair prices would definitely use again and recommend to everyone I know. Thank you
Great service,on time. Made me feel like I wasn't stupid. Great prices. Would definitely call again.

I'm very pleased with the service! The tech was very professional and knowledgeable.Also was on time!
Never write reviews for anything, but these guys deserve a 5 star review!
Never write reviews for anything, but these guys deserve a 5 star review! Just purchased a computer from a company online and when I received it, it didn't boot. Tried everything with no luck. Went to these guys and got the job done at a VERY cheap cost. Any computer troubles take it to them. They know their stuff!
High Quality work!!!!!
The easiest, fastest, and cheapest experience. I honestly have not had to take any of my electronics in to be fixed before, and I am not sure I will have to go anywhere else. The employees are super helpful and realists which I can appreciate. I called describing my issue with my laptop as an emergency thinking I could get faster service and the gentleman on the phone was nice and explained to me that quality work took more time than I wanted it to. I agreed and dropped my laptop in Thursday night, when I was told it could take anywhere from 24-48+ hours before I heard back. It took a little less than 24 hours before I received the call. Couldn't be happier with the service.
This Company is what is missing in this world.
This Company is the leading example of professional service, They answered the phone right away, no press one for English, no holding a real lives person. They answered all of my question with out interrupting me, I then scheduled an appointment for them to come pick-up my computer as i'm elderly and can not drive. They also send a text message with a picture of the Tech and there name if you request, which for me is amazing do to all the scams out there now days. The tech John arrived 7 minutes early completely professional from the moment I opened the door, till the moment he left. He answered any question I had and we filled out all the paper work on his Tablet. I received an e-mail right away with all the information and a link to a portal where I could check the status of my computer along process. This company is amazing and they offer all kinds of discounts. The only problem my computer had was It needed a new power supply, they called me told me the issue and I approved the work and told me the computer will be ready in about 30 mins to be dropped back off at my home. They didn't try to up sale me on anything. I will be referring this company to everyone of my friends. It's so hard to find a trust worthy company that won't rip you off just because i'm a female, my age and know nothing about computers. The same tech the picked up my computer brought it back which was great. He set the whole computer back up the way he found it and offered to clean-up the wires for free and label all of them for me at no extra cost. When it came time for payment it was simple and easy all right there where I was sitting, ran my credit card for the amount and signed a couple things on his tablet and that was it. Thank you so much for everything.
Wow what a amazing company!
My company has over 200 servers and JB Computer Networking and Repair Inc. Keeps them running. Does not matter day or night. I not writing review, I'm raving about JB Computer Networking and Repair. Thank you guys so much!

In Reply to: Dash cam Theater posted by Lewis on March 22, 2004
: : : : : : I found that there is a dash cam video which takes video of police officers in embarrassing situations.
: : : : : : Is it a hidden camera? or soemthing official of the police?
: : : : : : The series I'm translating now "what were you thinknig?" is about such situations of officers on duty.
: : : : : : I wonder if I can call it hidden camera?
: : : : : : thank you
: : : : : It's a small camera mounted on the dashboard (therefore dash cam) of a police car, and it records what goes on in front of the car. During traffic stops, for example, when the police park behind the car stopped, the camera will record how the people involved behave. It's there to provide court evidence, and to prevent (if, on occasion, prove) claims of police misconduct.
: : : : Most grateful for your answer, could you help me also with the question of "fly bar"?
: : : : I'm not sure about it.
: : : : Thanks
: : : Not "fly bar." Bar fly. It's a derogatory description of a man (almost always a man) who hangs around in a saloon, sitting on the same stool for hours, day after day. It connotes worthlessness (as much as a fly is valuable) and predicability (same bar, every day.) It doesn't mean anti-social, since bar flies may be story-tellers or otherwise gregarious, but they are often solitary, borderline alcoholics, with no ambition or energy.
: : Thank you Bob, very much. Now I understand why I couln't find it, I was looking for fly bar.
: : Well i'm still in a state of a shock because of this thing I have to translate.
: I've heard 'Bar-fly' used of women more than men - as if it were the opposite of a 'butter-fly'. Bar flies just hang around bars, often not causing any trouble, just killing time day after day.
Thank you, this is an interesting remark.

Apple in Education Profiles
Once earmarked for closure, a north-west British school uses iPad, Mac, and iTunes U to achieve a 100 percent pass rate.
The inspiration
Growing up in Bolton in North West England, Showkat Badat was not allowed to attend Hayward School, his local comprehensive. "Parents like mine believed that if you went there, you were never going to succeed," says Badat.
In 2009, when Badat returned to his hometown to become head teacher at the struggling school, that belief still prevailed in the community. The school's dreary physical environment — a series of dingy and, in some cases, dangerous buildings — was matched by its low test scores. More than 70 percent of students were failing their subjects, and Hayward School was at risk of being shut down.
The surrounding community, home to large immigrant and refugee populations, ranked among the most economically disadvantaged in the country. The school's 900 students speak more than 40 different languages, and many were struggling to overcome language and cultural barriers. "Every minute we weren't making a difference to our young people, it was costing the community lives," says Badat.
Badat knew he had to make drastic changes. He applied for academy status and renamed the school Essa Academy, which gave him and his administrators more autonomy to make decisions about curriculum and staffing, and allowed them to pursue new investments to supplement state funds. But it would not be enough to turn the school around.
In his previous job as head of a different school, Badat had witnessed the power of technology to engage students. He believed that reinventing Essa as a hub of technology-assisted learning would reflect the new leadership's commitment to the community and, more importantly, remove barriers to academic achievement. "I don't see technology as an add-on, a nice option to have," says Badat. "It's what enables learning and creates a dynamic environment that sparks creativity."
"Apple has helped us create a complete learning ecosystem where the building itself, and everything contained within it, is centered around how students actually learn."
— Abdul Chohan, director,
ESSA Academy
The implementation
Like its buildings, Essa Academy's technology was outdated. Teachers who wanted to give students opportunities to use interactive software or access online resources had to go through multiple steps to sign out a laptop trolley and log students in. Badat charged Director Abdul Chohan, a member of his leadership team, with researching technology to create a more dynamic learning environment.
Essa's first move was providing every student with an iPod touch. "We needed to give them direct access to information," says Chohan. Almost immediately, administrators noticed a difference in students' enthusiasm for learning. In one instance, a group of students was spotted playing football with headphones on; they were listening to a podcast about atomic structure to prepare for an exam.
As students got excited about discovering apps and online materials to help them learn, their test scores improved. This early success helped Essa administrators secure funds to build a new facility. Every aspect of the new classrooms was designed to support interactive learning. Each teacher was given a MacBook Air and iPad to directly access online resources and educational apps. Every classroom was fitted with a large-screen TV connected to an Apple TV, allowing teachers and students to use AirPlay to share relevant content — 3D renderings of plant cells, a slideshow of Viking vessels — with a tap. Teachers found creative ways to integrate iPad into their teaching, directing small groups to record conversations in French and practice their pronunciation, or filming P.E. sessions and playing back the video to help students improve their game.
Essa administrators also decided to provide every student with an iPad to use in the classroom and at home, letting them learn in a more hands-on way. Students create Keynote presentations to share in class and use the built-in camera to snap photographs for reports. The iPad has proved particularly beneficial to the school's many non-English speakers. Before, these students were pulled from lessons for one-to-one language tutoring. Now they stay in class and use translation apps to follow along and improve their comprehension.
Essa Academy is one of the only schools in the UK to make all its courses available through iTunes U. Students use the iTunes U app to access all their learning materials in one place, keep track of assignments, and receive notifications anytime a teacher updates information. Teachers use the iTunes U collection to discover podcasts, videos, and other resources that enrich their lessons. "iTunes U gives us access to content created by gifted teachers and experts around the globe," says Badat. "We can present students with a mosaic of perspectives."
Every department in the school uses iBooks Author to create interactive textbooks for iPad. iBooks Author provides Essa teachers with a simple way to refresh their textbooks to reflect current events and to weave together traditional reading materials with multimedia content. "You've got videos and 3D graphics in front of you, and you can highlight and take notes. It's a more interactive way of reading, and it really helps us learn," says Year 8 student Hamza Umar.
"By using iPad, students can go at their own pace. We can individuate learning, and set up all our students to succeed."
— Catherine Chadwick, science teacher,
Essa Academy
The results
Essa Academy's turnaround has been dramatic. Within two years of the pilot iPod programme, the pass rate at the school jumped from 28 percent to 100 percent. Test scores have increased significantly for all students. "Students never walk in the door thinking, 'It's going to be a boring day'," says modern languages teacher Jennifer Greenwood. "They're excited by all the things we're doing with iPad, and eager to learn."
What makes the school's accomplishments even more exceptional is the fact that operating expenses have decreased. Previously hefty budget items like tech support, one-to-one tutoring, and textbooks have all been slashed.
Educators from around the country and beyond visit Essa Academy to learn from its successes, and people anywhere can access the school's iTunes U courses. "With Apple, we can create complete learning journeys," says Badat. "We're helping our students achieve good grades, but more than that, we're changing lives and empowering the community. Every door is now open."

أخبار الفريق الأول
Man City v West Ham: Talking points
Five factors to consider ahead of Man City's final pre-season match against West Ham in Iceland.
1 First glimpse at Bernardo
After his Confederations Cup exertions, new signing Bernardo Silva was given an extended break by Pep Guardiola.
He returned to training at the CFA on Tuesday and could take his place in the City line-up for the first time in Iceland.
It's a mouth-watering prospect for Blues fans. The 22-year-old was the key architect in Monaco's Ligue 1 title win and run to the Champions League semi-finals last season, and is widely seen as the finest player Portugal have produced since Cristiano Ronaldo.
He rarely loses possession, has a fine eye for a pass and works incredibly hard off the ball – all the hallmarks of a Guardiola player.
Capable of playing from the right or as a No. 10, Bernardo is a player who possesses outstanding technical quality.
2 All out attack
City's 4-1 win over Real Madrid in LA and 3-0 victory over Tottenham in Nashville were serious statements of intent ahead of the new season.
Both games didn't just see City win – they were defined by the quality of their attacking play.
City scored four goals in half an hour to blitz Champions League winners Real Madrid and then completely outplayed Spurs, overwhelming the Premier League side with their desire to go forward and attack.
It was exciting to watch and City will want to continue that approach against a fine West Ham side who have played five pre-season games and will be close to full match sharpness.
3 Pace in wide areas
One of the most exciting developments on the US Tour was the introduction of Kyle Walker and Danilo to City's flanks – two players offering width, pace and plenty of energy.
They gave City a new dynamism. They both looked to get forward and supplement the attack at every opportunity, and both produced quality in key areas.
With Walker and Danilo in the side, City look to have improved an already quality attacking unit.
4 Old friends
Pablo Zabaleta and Joe Hart are both likely to line up against City for the first time in Reykjavik.
Zabaleta completed a free transfer move to the Hammers in the summer after a glittering nine-year City career that saw him win a clean-sweep of domestic honours, and Hart followed him a few weeks later after agreeing a one-year loan switch.
They will no doubt receive a warm reception from the City fans who love nothing more than remembering fondly those who have worn the Blue shirt with distinction.
5 Build on US progress
City's time in the US was a huge success. Three highly-competitive matches in front of huge crowds, with two fine wins to end the tour – it was ideal preparation for the new season.
This game in Reykjavik offers the squad one last chance to gain some vital match sharpness.
City will be desperate to pick up where they left off in LA and Nashville and finalise their preparations for the first Premier League game of the season away at Brighton next weekend.

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
Written by
Russell Archey
on 10/7/2013 for 3DS
More On:
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
Atlus's Etrian Odyssey series has been around almost seven years if you go by Japan's release dates, but not too much less here in the states with the first game debuting on the Nintendo DS in May of 2007 in North America. Six years later and we have a total of five games in the series…well, four and a semi-remake of the first game. Still, five games in six years means you must be doing something right to warrant that many sequels, but what is it about the series that keeps gamers coming back? Is it because of its dungeon crawling elements that make it sort of feel like a table top RPG come to life, or is there something more? I plan to find out when I check out that "semi-remake" of the first game I mentioned: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl.
As the story begins you play as a highlander arriving at Etria to do some exploring and have your skills tested by mapping out the first floor of the forest labyrinth. After venturing into the forest for a bit you're asked to check out some ruins as well. Upon exploring the ruins you come across three more adventurers known as the Midgard Library as well as discover a girl in a pod guarded by a monster. After defeating the monster and rescuing the girl, named Frederica, you find out that Frederica has lost a lot of her memories and that the Midguard Library was investigating some random anomalies that have been occurring throughout Etria. Together, the five of you set out to explore more of the forest Labyrinth to find out the source of the anomalies, recover more of Frederica's memories, and see if maybe the two are connected somehow.
Now something to mention is that the game has two modes: Classic and Story. The above description is for Story Mode, but Classic Mode isn't that different. If you're playing on Classic Mode you'll get most of the same, except the story isn't quite as heavy and you can customize your team of characters or "guild" as you see fit. The game has nine different classes and while the characters are pre-set in Story Mode, Classic Mode lets you pick what classes you want, give them your own names, and select a difficulty for a pure dungeon-crawling experience. Sadly one of the game's negative points is the lack of multiple save slots. You can only save one game, so you can't run a Story Mode game and a Classic Mode game at the same time.
If you're familiar with the Etrian Odyssey series then the mechanics of the game should be familiar to you. As mentioned above one of your first missions is to explore and map out the first floor of the forest labyrinth. Take that time to get used to how to map out the environment and what icons to place where because, believe it or not, cartography is a pretty big part of the game. If you've never played a game in the series before you might be wondering if you
to map out each floor if no one's requiring you to do so. Well, I suppose you could ignore the mapping, but you'd then miss out on one of the game's best features: floor hopping. Once you map out at least a majority of a floor and move onto the next, floor hopping will become available for that floor. That means all you have to do is touch a staircase on that floor's map to be instantly warped to it. While some may say that takes out a lot of the difficulty and tedium of the game as you can avoid repeating floors this way, it's also good if you just want to play for a few minutes and don't want to waste time going through previous floors and enemies that give minimal experience when you can hit up a few tougher battles almost instantly. You'll also occasionally explore parts of some ruins to help advance the story a bit and help shake things up with some puzzle and stealth elements as you avoid some powerful enemies that might be too strong for your party.
While Story Mode does give you pre-defined characters and classes, there is still some customization to your characters. When a character levels up there stats don't really increase. Instead you gain a skill point that you can put towards one of several skills for that character, most of which are geared for that specific class but each also has a couple generic skills to allocate points to such as ATK Up and TP Up (TP being this game's version of MP, or Magic Points). When you meet the other four characters in Story Mode early on they already have several skill points allocated to specific skills fitting for their class. Future skill point allocation is up to you, but this serves as kind of a template to what might be best for that character. Leveling up characters can take some time, but you can also visit the pub in Etrian to pick up some quests that the locals might have for you. These range from obtaining some materials to help out the town's shopkeeper to finding some good mining and gathering spots for a local who can't do the job himself. Regardless this is a good way to earn some extra money and experience.
If you went the Story Mode route I know what you might be thinking. "But classes like the Alchemist and Medic typically have terrible attack power or weapons". True, but there's a mechanic that can change that: Grimoire Stones. Every now and then during a battle you might see the words "Grimoire Chance" appear next to a character. If that happens and you win the battle, that character might create a Grimoire Stone. Equipping these to a character will grant them new skills and maybe even new weapon proficiencies. For instance, I gave my Highlander a stone that gave him a fire spell, which proves just about useless as his stats really don't cater to magic users. An example of useful Grimoire Stone distribution is when I gave my Medic a stone that gave him the ability to use bow-type weapons. Thanks to this my Medic is no longer relegated to just the healer, but can now do pretty decent damage as well. There's also an option called Grimoire Synthesis where you can combine three stones to make a new one, but I'm kind of confused on it because the couple times I did it I just wound up with a stone that was similar to one of the three I used in the synthesis, kind of making the ordeal moot. I'm sure there's some skill with it that I'm just currently lacking.
Something I don't talk about much in my reviews is the graphics and sound, mostly because for me the gameplay is the most important part of any game. However, the graphics and sound in Etrian Odyssey Untold are really good. The music is nice and calm as you're walking through the forest and the voice acting is pretty good as well. I do question why the characters only occasionally speak the entire dialogue on the screen and mostly just a few simple lines or sighs, but that's just minor nitpicking. Your guild members can also alert you to something nearby to check out, such as a shortcut or a gathering spot. They're also useful in battle when fighting enemies you've already fought. While you can check out the stats of enemies you're previously encountered, letting you see their max HP, strength, defense, and even their weakness regardless of whether or not you actually used it on them yet, your characters might chime in about their weaknesses. For instance, you might go into a battle and one character might say "Hit them with ice!" if they have a weakness to ice-based attacks. It does make things a little easier, as Story Mode tends to do, but it's still a nice tough.
As much as I like this game, there are a couple quirks. Aside from the aforementioned lack of save slot issue, mapping out each floor can get a bit tedious at times. You can change things in the options for auto-mapping, setting to Off so nothing is auto-mapped, On to auto-map where you walk, or All to also auto-map walls when you come across them. You can still place markers on the map, and it's actually helpful with the occasional aforementioned request that asks about places to mine or gather materials. As much as mapping helps immerse you more into the experience and fun, I've been auto-mapping most of the floors recently because that way I can focus more on the gameplay and less on the cartography.
A couple of other issues I have kind of go hand in hand: earning money and spending it. I've always been one to wonder how some random woodland creatures in other RPGs have money or even large weapons on them. However, you don't have to wonder that here because NOTHING drops money for you. To earn money to buy weapons, armor, and items you have to collect materials found by defeating enemies or searching the occasional gathering spot you'll come across. Selling these to the town merchant will not only give you money but will allow the merchant to create and sell new items. I have no real issues with that. However, recall that I said your guild members in Story Mode will point out weaknesses in monsters. Also keep in mind that you'll occasionally encounter very powerful monsters that will go down quicker when you use your skills to inflict more damage to them. Because of that you might go through your TP rather quickly. However, something I've found is that early on you have no access to TP recovery items. Strangely, the shop doesn't sell them, at least not early on. The fact that your TP might not be that high early on and repeatedly using skills deplete your TP early on means you'll constantly be going back and forth to the town's inn to heal or recover party members. However, there's my other slight issue: the prices for staying and recovering party members at the inn actually increases over time. It might not be that bad after you have a steady stream of money coming in, but early on it can get annoying.
Etrian Odyssey Untold is a fun game whether you're a veteran of the series or if this is your first outing. Similar to Fire Emblem: Awakening there are two modes that you can choose from that offer their own levels of difficulty and character customization. While the early parts of the game can get a bit tedious to the point you might have to grind for money a bit and the cartography can also get a bit tedious if not set to auto-map, this is a game I would recommend to fans of RPGs as there's something for everyone. While Classic Mode gives you more customization overall, the story elements to Story Mode are really well done and the lower difficulty might draw in more newcomers to the series, again similar to Fire Emblem: Awakening. If you're still on the fence about it, check out the demo on the 3DS eShop. If you're a fan of RPGs and dungeon-crawlers, you won't be disappointed.
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl is a fairly solid game. While the early going can be a bit rough since money might be more spent on healing than buying new weapons and armor, the game's mechanics and Story Mode's story elements still make for a fairly sold game. This is one that newcomers and veterans alike should enjoy.

About Author
I began my lifelong love of gaming at an early age with my parent's Atari 2600. Living in the small town that I did arcades were pretty much non-existent so I had to settle for the less than stellar ports on the Atari 2600, but for a young kid my age it was the perfect past time, giving me something to do before Boy Scout meetings, after school, whenever I had the time and my parents weren't watching anything on TV. I recall seeing Super Mario Bros. played on the NES at that young age and it was something I really wanted. Come Christmas of 1988 (if I recall) Santa brought the family an NES with Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt and I've been hooked ever since.
Over 25 years from the first time I picked up an Atari joystick and I'm more hooked on gaming than I ever have been. If you name a system, classics to moderns, there's a good chance I've not only played it, but own it. My collection of systems spans multiple decades, from the Odyssey 2, Atari 2600, and Colecovision, to the NES, Sega Genesis, and Panasonic 3DO, to more modern systems such as the Xbox and Wii, and multiple systems in between as well as multiple handhelds. As much as I consider myself a gamer I'm also a game collector. I love collecting the older systems not only to collect but to play (I even own and still play a Virtual Boy from time to time). I hope to bring those multiple decades of gaming experience to my time here at Gaming Nexus in some fashion.
In my spare time I like to write computer programs using VB.NET (currently learning C# as well) as well as create review videos and other gaming projects over on YouTube. I know it does seem like I have a lot on my plate now with the addition of Gaming Nexus to my gaming portfolio, but that's one more challenge I'm willing to overcome.

Midmarket IT pros have NAC for identity, access management
Midmarket firms may not have the budgets of large companies, but IT pros can build identity and access management programs that are as effective as what the big guys have.
Todd Towles has been around the block enough times to know that regardless of a company's size, IT administrators must always authenticate users and keep tight control of their network behavior. Otherwise, malicious people will have little trouble stealing sensitive information, which can all too easily be used to destroy the company's reputation or commit identity fraud against customers.
Towles is an IT security consultant who today works for a large financial enterprise, but most recently worked for a retail chain closer to the midmarket with about $2 billion in annual revenue and 12,000 or so employees. In both environments, he said, IT managers must always reevaluate the resources that users are able to access.
But global enterprises have more money to spend on controls like two-factor authentication, smart cards and tokens. That technology isn't always affordable for midmarket companies, which typically have $50 million to $1 billion in annual revenue and anywhere from 100 to 5,000 employees. [In the retail sector, midmarket companies could have as many as 12,000 employees and up to $2 billion in annual revenue.]
For that reason, midsized IT departments are making the most of network access controls (NAC) offered by their technology infrastructure providers, including Microsoft and Cisco Systems Inc. Those companies recently unveiled plans for more interoperability between their network access control technologies. Meanwhile, security vendors are trying to entice the midmarket with cheaper authentication tools that are more scalable for growing companies.
NAC, compatibility a big deal
Amer Deeba, VP of business development for Redwood Shores, Calif.-based Qualys Inc., said access controls at mid-sized companies often lack the maturity of what larger enterprises have in place. For example, they may have strong controls for internal employees, but not for outside contractors, many of whom frequently plug into the network.
"That's why NAC is becoming such a big deal," Deeba said. "It allows them to have a security framework where they can make changes that are more automated and customized. With NAC, you can tie together all of your security technology and decide what you want to do with individual users."
Security vendors have been working to develop inexpensive tools that can be used to bolster those controls. But if interoperability isn't part of the equation, IT professionals won't be interested, Deeba said, adding, "Qualys is trying to make security products that are as automated and interoperable as possible."
Other vendors like Issaquah, Wash.-based BioPassword Inc. try catering to the midmarket with offerings that don't require new hardware.
"Midsized customers are telling us they want smart cards, tokens and two-factor authentication, but they want the benefits without the cost," said Greg Wood, BioPassword's VP and CTO. "The big concern is manageability and usability as it relates to cost. We're cost-effective because we are software only."
While midmarket companies have an ever-increasing number of choices when looking for affordable identity and access management technology, Towles said there's no magic bullet. IT administrators can deploy two or three different products and each will provide bits of information about the company's security status. But, he said, "The challenge is in how you integrate all the information in a way that allows you to see the big security picture."
He said products that work well in and of themselves and enable IT administrators see that big picture are of the most value.
Overcoming cultural challenges
No matter how good their identity and access management technology is, midmarket IT managers won't be successful unless they have the support of top executives and everyone obeys the written security policies, said Jonathan Penn, an analyst with Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research.
"In midmarket companies, security isn't always viewed as something that's important or strategic," Penn said. There isn't as much security spending, he said, because executives can't see the return on investment.
Penn said it's up to IT professionals to help their bosses understand what's at stake.
"What works is when IT professionals talk about this in terms of risk," Penn said. "Executives understand the concept of risk, and the IT professional should frame the need for new investment not in terms of cost, but in terms of how it will help the company manage its risk."
It's getting easier to sell investments to upper management, he added, since security vendors are catering more to the midmarket, but regulatory pressure has been the most powerful catalyst in getting executives to take security seriously.
"The PCI Data Security Standard has really motivated a lot of mid-sized companies," Penn said. "They have to be audited, and so suddenly security is a big issue, whereas it wasn't before."
A program that grows with the company
Another challenge for midsized companies is that access management controls that work successfully today may not be sufficient to handle a company's growth, Penn said. Therefore, IT professionals need to develop a scalable program that can be easily adjusted to accommodate more employees and services.
"They need to do some research and talk to vendor references to get a fix on the technology that's the most scalable to their needs," he said.
Scalability is certainly a factor for Keith Gosselin, IT officer for Biddeford Savings Bank in Biddeford, Maine. With 72 employees and $12 million in revenue last year, the bank doesn't fit the criteria of a midmarket company. But the company hopes to grow in the next three to five years, Gosselin said, by opening new branch offices and attracting new customers.
Gosselin though is confident his identity and access management controls will remain effective if the company does indeed expand. He said he has the support of his upper management, and that regulatory compliance has also motivated them to take security more seriously.
As proof of that, the company is moving beyond simple passwords and rolling out a program based on two-factor authentication. The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) is requiring banks with online services to implement some form of two-factor authentication for customers by January 2007.
Beyond that, Gosselin shares the view of many security professionals that companies large and small can no longer afford to carry on with basic passwords.
"I personally believe two-factor authentication has become a necessary layer of security," Gosselin said. "Passwords are simply not enough anymore."

Is it actually running (pulley rotating), or just humming? If just humming, try it with the belt off.Eric
Check to see that the motor freely pivots on the motor plate. This assures correct belt tension and allows the belt to slip during spin startup. If this is ok then you would need to take some live line voltage measurements at the motor during spin startup to check for voltage drop issues and check the current draw with an amprobe.Eric
Just to be clear, the connection point wire colors that I gave you are where the normal harness connector connects, not the colors of the motor side wiring. They are different.Eric
That does not have the same motor switch as your model.Eric
Power is applied simultaneously and continuously. As soon as the motor comes up to speed, the start circuit is opened via an internal contact in the motor switch activated by a centrifugal mechanism in the motor. This centrifugal mechanism also operates another set of contacts in that switch for slow speed operation. The motor always starts in high speed regardless of user setting but if slow speed has been selected, it will switch to slow speed when the motor gets going.Eric

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we'll provide the jams.
There are, at least, two versions of the British rock band Blur. There's the Brit Pop "Parklife" era of music that was a hit with the Island's youth and is, while very listenable, not particularly exciting. And then there's the heavier, rockier self-titled "Blur" era. Apparently, guitarist Graham Coxon fell in love with American indie rock and foisted the idea of playing it onto his bandmates.
The result is surprise hit "Song 2," which led the band to its greatest international success. I've read in various places that the song itself is a tribute to Pavement's Bob Nastanovich, whose job in the band is mostly to scream on various songs. Listen to "Cut Your Hair" next and you can hear a similar format.
Also, it's a great song, even if my father is convinced they stole the hook from Tommy Bolin.

The Golden Fork is an Armenian restaurant in possibly the smallest strip mall in LA. A tiny two shop operation with a cramped couple of parking spaces (luckily, there is plentiful parking on nearby Serrano Avenue).
The staff doesn't speak much in the way of English, but all you really have to know about is grilled meat. A grilled combination plate yields lamb kabob, lamb chops and chicken kabob, but more importantly, ultra-tender and juicy beef and chicken lula kabobs. Far from the often overcooked dry rocks that often pass for the Middle Eastern sausage, the Golden Fork's lula kabobs pop with juice as you bite into them.
The grilled quail, also part of the combo, is among the best I've had. It's tender with a good rub over its thin skin, and peeling it open reveals a special treat -- the intact heart. The combination is served with home-cut french fries, the best of which are at the bottom of the platter where they've soaked up the grease from the meat. Add a big platter of rice, and wash the whole think down with a fluorescent green Tarragon soda.
There is a selection of traditional mezza at Golden Fork as well, and while I liked the labne, most of them were unexceptional. They also have grilled fish on the menu, which would be worth a trip back to check out.

Being a smartass, I must ask: are fries native to Armenian cuisine? Cuz Elena's served grilled quail with fries which made me freak. Apparently Montebello (across the freeway from my house) is an Armenian enclave, so I should really start eating more of these tasty birds.

President Kennedy Featured in Higher Education Publication
SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy will be featured in an upcoming higher education publication designed to inform and educate industry experts and executives.
Kennedy was recently interviewed for an article in Education Executive magazine and discusses the difficult task that laid ahead for the incoming president when he arrived in 1993. In the article, Kennedy explains why he said yes to the role when most people wouldn't have entertained taking on the challenge and illustrates the success of the programs he implemented over the past 18 years.
"I say yes all the time," Kennedy said in the article. "Want to know why? Because you have to be open to new ideas and willing to take risks if you want to keep moving forward. What we've achieved didn't come from my efforts alone. It came from the hard work of our faculty and staff to develop new programs and come up with new ideas. I just had to be willing to support them."
Kennedy is now the longest tenured active SUNY president.
When Kennedy's tenure began, he quickly realized he would need to take the College in a different direction and add bachelor's degrees. With the support of former SUNY Chancellor Bruce Johnstone, eighteen years later, SUNY Canton has the same number of bachelor's degrees as associate degrees, all of which are in high-demand and geared towards providing students with a hands-on education that prepares them for careers following graduation. The College has also experienced exponential growth in enrollment and the physical campus itself has grown under his guidance. SUNY Canton most recently added a new athletic facility and will open a new residence hall in Fall 2011.
Throughout the article, Kennedy reiterates the reason why he continues to do what he does: to improve the learning experience for students. In addition to the growth in bachelor's degrees, he's encouraged faculty members to earn their doctorate degrees by having the College spend $1 million to help them do so. He's also added online degree programs, international study abroad and dual degree opportunities, and other innovative programs.
Education Executive covers topics such as management, new technologies, marketing programs, security, facilities and operations, as well as financial and legal issues.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Coordinator, or call 315/386-7528.

There's bad news for motorists as the cost of fuel has risen significantly in the last week, with unleaded petrol now at 113.7 pence per litre. This is 1.4 pence per litre more than the previous week.
Office of National Statistics figures show that the cost of diesel has risen by 1.6 pence per litre with the cost at the pump now 116 pence per litre - for the moment.
The Petrol Retailers Association have warned that the falling pound combined with Brent crude oil hitting a 52-week high could see fuel prices rise sharply by the end of the month - by as much as 5 pence per litre.
Fuel is more expensive than at the same time time last year, with unleaded petrol 4.7 pence per litre more expensive and diesel 4.8 pence per litre more than it was this week in 2015.

The latest CNN poll shows a deadheat, but the real story is the following:
Sixty-six percent of Clinton supporters -- registered Democrats who want Clinton as the nominee -- are now backing Obama. That's down from 75 percent in the end of June. Twenty-seven percent of them now say they'll support McCain, up from 16 percent in late June.
"The number of Clinton Democrats who say they would vote for McCain has gone up 11 points since June, enough to account for most, although not all, of the support McCain has gained in that time," Holland said.
It is truly remarkable, that John McCain, the man vilified by the right-wing in his party, has been able to rally his troops, while the Democrats, in the best position in years, can't seem to GET OVER IT ALREADY. Remember all the attacks against McCain, whether Limbaugh, Delay, Santorum, Coulter and countless other wingnuts, the supposed base of the Republican Party? All that acrimony has essentially evaporated, and a strange twist of fate, it is now Democratic division that threatens to hand the Republicans the White House.
Obama didn't pick Hillary. Boo hoo. Is it really surprising, that a man who wants to put forth his own agenda doesn't want a meddling former President and his ambitious wife at his side? Political powerhouses aside, the fact Obama looked elsewhere is of no surprise to anyone who has an ounce of perspective. Besides, is that real the point, are people Hillary Democrats or Democrats? Every primary season is divisive, for both parties, and yet, consistently the former foes find a way to unite, because the stakes are high.
Is Obama a better candidate that Clinton? If I had my dithers, I'd probably lean slightly to Clinton, all things considered. But, that's not the point, is it? Obama's the nominee, and everyone can take solace in the fact that he represents the Clinton perspective in overriding fashion. Compare the policies, compare the rhetoric, compare the chasm with the Republicans. It's an easy call for Democrats, and yet a full third seem willing to hold a grudge.
In fairness, McCain is attractive to some Democrats, always has been, always will be, so this reality inflates the "bitter" numbers. However, that doesn't explain the huge defection contingent, and it really is strange to see how many have lost sight of the big picture. Isn't it time to move on?

Anafranil capsules, West Sussex, England, 1980-1986
Severe depression, phobias and sleep disorders were treated using 'Anafranil'. This is the brand name for clomipramine hydrochloride, an antipsychotic drug. Antipsychotic drugs were introduced in the 1950s. They increase or decrease chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters which help regulate things such as sleep, moods and emotions. Clomipramine hydrochloride is a tricyclic antidepressant. It has a sedative effect on the body. This pack contains 100 25mg capsules of Anafranil and was manufactured by Geigy Pharmaceuticals.

Cairngorms Outdoor Access Trust has had a recent change of identity to reflect the growth and expansion of its activities throughout Scotland.
Now called Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland, this innovative environmental charity is working to develop an access management strategy across both of Scotland's National Parks and to develop new initiatives across the country.
Building, restoring and maintaining paths, training people in conversation and managing a Scotland wide volunteering scheme are just some of the activities the Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland are involved in.
Fast approaching its 20th year, the trust has an impressive record throughout its history with over 24km of mountain paths having been restored last year alone and another 100km of repairs planned over the next three years.
Dougie Baird, Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland CEO, said: "Scotland's two National Parks are immensely popular and play host to over 5.5 million visitors each year. Unfortunately, these huge numbers of visitors, along with our Scottish weather, creates serious erosion of mountain paths and the destruction of nearby habitats.
As Scotland's primary outdoor access trust, we are now working with both National Parks as well as Scottish Natural Heritage, Forestry Commission Scotland and a host of grant awarding bodies, to conserve our unique upland mountain landscape for future generations to enjoy."

The Guinness world's record for a parade of classic tractors is now 964 tractors/drivers thanks to a determined group of tractor owners at the Nebraska State Fair. The parade took place around the Fonner Park Racetrack after a morning thunderstorm as part of the opening weekend of events at the fair organized and sponsored by RFD-TV/RURAL TV.
In order to qualify, each tractor provided the VIN/Serial number and was at least 30 years old. Over 1,000 tractors/drivers participated in RFD-TV and RURAL TV's parade. A representative from Guinness certified that 964 classic tractors met all of the requirements and drove continuously around the track for a minimum of two miles. The previous record was 745 held by Elbach, Germany.
"I have never felt more pride in the history of RFD-TV," said Patrick Gottsch, Founder & President of Rural Media Group, Inc. "The perseverance by our staff and these tractor enthusiasts through the mud was a sight to behold in itself, as they were not going to be denied the chance to break the Guinness record. Seeing over 1,000 classic tractors moving at one time was a real crowd pleaser."
A capacity grandstand was filled with over 10,000 viewers in-and-around the Fonner Park track who witnessed this unprecedented display of machinery of the past. At least 31 states were represented, with 730 entries coming from Nebraska and the rest traveling great distances including some entries coming from as far away as New Jersey, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Michigan, and Arizona.
With additional storm clouds gathering above Grand Island, NE, the rescheduling of the parade was put to a voice vote at an 11am driver meeting. It was unanimously decided that the parade was to continue as scheduled at 1pm when every driver threw their hand in the air and shouted "Today!"
The parade was broadcast "live" on RFD-TV and RURAL TV hosted by veteran farm broadcaster and tractor enthusiast Max Armstrong, along with KRVN's Joe Greenwich.

More Information
RAQUEL RABINOVICH is a visual artist born in Buenos Aires, who has lived and worked in the United States since 1967. She studied art in Argentina, Paris, and Edinburgh. She has been the recipient of numerous grants and fellowships, including two Pollock-Krasner Foundation grants, a New York State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Grant, two Artist Space Grants, and two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships.
Rabinovich has long explored in her art what she calls "the dark" - "that which is concealed beneath the surface of objects, words, thoughts, and the world." Her recent and current work includes two ongoing series: Emergences and River Library. Emergences are site-specific stone sculpture installations constructed on the shores of the Hudson River that become concealed and revealed with the rising and falling of the river tides. River Library is a series of drawings made with sediment from various rivers from around the world. Mud in these drawings embodies the history of the Earth and of humankind, functioning like a text that provides a trace, a memory of our existence.
The artist has been exhibiting in the Americas and Europe since 1953. Solo shows include those at the Fundación Alon in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Trans Hudson Gallery in New York, NY; Lehigh University Art Galleries in Bethlehem, PA; The Americas Society in New York, NY; Bronx Museum of the Arts in NY; Galería Garcés Velásquez in Bogotá, Colombia; Institute for Art and Urban Resources at P.S.1 in Long Island City, NY; as well as venues in England, Denmark, and Scotland. Rabinovich represented the U.S.A in the 10th International Cuenca Biennial in Ecuador in 2009. Additionally her work has been featured in group exhibits at the Weatherspoon Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, NC; Miami Art Museum in FL; The Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery at The University of Texas at Austin; Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena in Colombia; Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil; Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires, Argentina; and in New York at El Museo del Barrio, Bronx Museum of the Arts, Franklin Furnace, the Hudson River Museum, Parrish Art Museum, and The Brooklyn Museum.
Rabinovich's artwork has been reviewed in the New York Times, Art in America, Arts Magazine, Cultura de la Argentina contemporánea, Arte Informa, Newsday, La Nación, and The Times (London), among others. Essays about her work include "In Praise of Darkness" by David Levi Strauss in From Head to Hand – Art and the Manual (2010) and "Raquel Rabinovich" in EnvironMentalities – Twenty-Two Approaches to Eco-Art (2007) by Linda Weintraub with Skip Schuckmann. Monographs include Raquel Rabinovich, Antología del lecho de los ríos / Anthology of the Riverbeds (2008) edited by Julia P. Herzberg and Raquel Rabinovich -The Dark Is the Source of Light (1996) by Linda Weintraub and George Quasha.

Since virtual instruments have become popular, musicians keep asking one question: how do we achieve the same skill level shown in the official demos? Now that the physical modeling era is here, musicians are asking another question: how can we shape our own unique sound? Although many modeling instruments give the users control over many parameters of the sound, it's still difficult to achieve musicians own ideal sound for the very simple reason that musicians are musicians and not technicians.
Bad luck has no limits.
Sometimes it's not piano software that's the problem - it might just be the keyboard that musicians play. Most players don't realize that nearly all keyboards have a non-linear velocity response. Combine this with the fact that hardly any keyboard players have the skills or desire to actually play an accurate linear velocity response and achieving a good dynamic is a really challenging task.
To get beyond these technical limitations, musicians have had to spend a lot of time and energy learning the quirks of not only their instruments but their software as well. And when a software developer decides to issue an "upgrade" that thoroughly changes the basic parameters, they get to start over again. While a new trumpet is something to enjoy, modern musicians cringe at the thought of having to learn an entirely new keyboard or new software.
The purpose of Artificial Intelligence Assistant Tool (A.I in short) is to free musicians from technicians' work and let them focus on their music, not continuous controller assignments or tweaking the velocity curves! A.I is a bridge which connects their musical feelings and ideas to the technical data. With A.I, musicians no longer need to be technicians. A.I will make achieving their ideal sound more... well, musical! NO NEED TO REMEMBER arcane terminologies, finicky operation steps or the intricate specs of their keyboard.
A.I will auto test users' keyboard - learn all about it - and then use artificial intelligence to make suggestions for musicians. It is a simple to use and it speaks the same language as musicians - THEIR language - not the geek-speaks of technicians. A.I will test their keyboard velocity response, pedal support and most importantly suggest ways to shape the sound that they are looking for. A.I makes it simple quickly achieve their ideal sound.
- Automatic detect users' keyboard's velocity response curve.
- Automatic detect keyboard's Min and Max velocity.
- Automatic detect pedal support.
- Give suggestions on sound shaping and dynamic.
- Give suggestions on the piano which suitable for specific music style.
- Guide on shaping the final sound.
