Ellerstina Piaget's Top Ranked Facundo and Gonzalito Pieres Compete
Considered to be one of the world's most glamorous winter destinations, Aspen was the setting for the Piaget World Snow Polo Championship, held on the snow packed field of Wagner Park. Top-ranked Argentine polo players Facundo Pieres and Gonzalito Pieres of the Piaget Ellerstina Polo team, and polo's most famous face, Nacho Figueras, joined America's top-ranked player, Nic Roldan, along with hosts and co-founders of the Aspen Valley Polo Club, Marc and Melissa Ganzi and Larry Boland, President of Piaget North America, to host the round robin tournament. Piaget was also the official timekeeper of the tournament.
At the foot of Aspen Mountain with the snow falling, the Piaget team, featuring Gonazlito Pieres, Marc Ganzi and Kris Kampsen, took to Wagner Park to compete against the St. Regis team featuring Nacho Figueras, Nic Roldan, and Brandon Phillips. Excitement was in the air, as the two teams battled it out, with Phillips and Figueras each scoring a goal to deliver a 2-0 win for St. Regis.
Following their defeat, Piaget re-entered the field determined to beat the Audi team consisting of Facundo Pieres, Melissa Ganzi and Juan Bollini. Melissa Ganzi bolted into action, quickly scoring for Audi in the first thirty seconds putting the team ahead 1-0 in the first chukker. In the second chukker, Marc Ganzi scored for Piaget to even the score at 1-1. The crowd was silent as they watched brother vs. brother and husband vs. wife. Ultimately, Melissa Ganzi brought Audi to a 2-1 victory, as she scored the final goal through a penalty shot in the end of the second chukker.
The final match saw St. Regis and Audi locked in a stalemate with neither team scoring in the first chukker. Facundo Pieres took a penalty shot in the second chukker that was blocked by a confident Figueras, standing in the saddle, as the crowd cheered. Figueras then went on to score the final goal, bringing the black St. Regis team to victory.
Inside the VIP tent, Piaget hosted a lounge for Aspen's best and brightest to enjoy the polo action. On display were the newest Piaget Polo FortyFive timepieces, along with framed photos showing Piaget's long history with the sport of kings.
Following the match, Larry Boland presented the special silver and horn trophy to the winning St. Regis team. "We are proud to be presenting the Piaget World Snow Polo Championship here in Aspen and thrilled to have both Gonzalito and Facundo Pieres with us. It was an exciting day of polo in one of the most picturesque settings in America,†stated Boland.
Marc Ganzi, added "It has always been a dream of mine and my wife Melissa's to create a polo club in Aspen. We are honored to have Piaget as the official timekeeper and to help us kick off a new era in snow polo.â€
In addition to the Piaget World Snow Polo World Championship, Piaget is the title sponsor of the USPA Piaget Gold Cup and the Piaget Hamptons Cup.

Minnesotans have quickly grown fond of Target Field. You can include Florida-transplant Denard Span in that category as well.
While at the new stadium, the Twins center fielder has amassed a .367/.537/.467 batting line in just 41 plate appearances while hitting a home-sickly .154/.237/.212 in 61 plate appearances away from Target Field. After Span opened the year with a 4-for-28 (.142) start in Anaheim and Chicago, his road split was even further exacerbated on the most recent tour of the country as the leadoff man has once again gone 4-for-28 (.142) since the Cleveland series at home concluded.
Without question, Span's absence from the offense is detrimental and has been a reason why the Twins have split the six games between the Royals and Tigers. In the nine games at Target Field, Span averaged a run per game but due to his truancy from the base paths, he has scored just one run in the past six. Not surprising, the Twins gone from scoring 5.4 runs per game in the homestand to scoring 4.6 runs in Kansas City and Detroit (still above average but a drop-off nonetheless).
Even though the home/away splits might suggest Span isn't happy with spending his nights at the Holiday Inn Express in Overland Park, his lowly road numbers appear to be the consequence of a suppressed BABIP in general. After putting together consecutive seasons of producing significantly higher BABIPs than the average, he is experiencing the inverse this year – his .264 BABIP is far below the .287 league norm. This digression from his career norm is a product of an increase in ground balls and their subsequent conversion into outs:
Span and the Gounder
Span's GB%
Span's BABIP on GB
AL BABIP on GB
*Data from Fangraphs.com and Baseball-Reference.com
In his first two seasons at the major league level, he had hit around 53% of the total balls in play on the ground. And up until this year, it has work for the speedy Span. In addition to finding more seams in the defense, he also legged out 23 infield hits (10th most in baseball) to supplement his numbers. This year, his ground ball rate is the third-highest in baseball (behind only Derek Jeter and Michael Bourn). At the same time, the inflation in his ground ball output has come at the expense of his line drive rate, which has plummeted to a career-low 13%. So not only has Span experienced the bitter pains of batted ball hard luck, he's also not producing the trajectory type that typically winds up as hits 70% of the time. It is quite the double-whammy.
To be sure, there has been nothing wrong with his fundamental approach in 2010. Span has added great value through his patience at the plate, as his keen zone acumen has resulted in a copious amount of walks (16). This has led to a .360 on-base percentage heading into Thursday's game. In all, his 2010 plate discipline numbers are on par with the rest of his career meaning he isn't suddenly chasing after bad pitches or missing more than usual. Likewise, his well-hit average of .207 is in line with the league average (.208) so he is putting the ball in play solidly.
With a very good comprehension of the strike zone, quick wrists and strong ability to make contact, Span's overall numbers are tied to the current fortunes of the bouncing ball. As the batted ball numbers begin to correct themselves over the course of a larger sample, he should regain his status as one of the lineup's main run contributors.

Blues on, sirens going and the truck leans over precariously as we make a sharp right at the end of the street. Ahead of us sees the full splendour of urbanite decay…knackered fridges and cannibalised cars in peoples front gardens. We slow down to negotiate the speed bumps, put in place years ago to slow down the joyriders who nick cars around here as if its a social prerequisite. All its ever done is give the joyriders more of a challenge and pissed off the decent car drivers who suffer the wear and tear on their vehicles.
As we slow down to weave between the abandoned wheelie bins which have been thrown into the road, I take another quick look at the screen to confirm the address we are going to is correct. '158 NohopeStreet' on the 'Barricade Estate'. Our lights are off and the sirens are silenced…we 'run silent run deep'towards our destination. It doesnt pay to attract too much attention to ourselves around here.
Half way down the street we make a left into a cul de sac which is a posh way of saying a potential trap! Our eyes are scoping out the doorways and alley ways looking out for the tell tale signs that we've been set up. All is quiet on this dark street with the only illumination coming from the one street light that has so far survived the attentions of the kids with their air rifles and cross bows! The address reveals itself to us near to the end of the close.
Getting out of the truck I subconsciously check that I've got the hand held radio and mobile phone…just in case. And I make sure that I have my large heavy duty 3 cell Mag-lite with me also…JUST in case! Picking the green bag up and waiting for my crew mate to lock the truck I look at the front door of the address. Its like any other council door on any other council estate…its seen better days! At first sight it looks like a work of modern art until on closer inspection the door is actually a patchwork quilt of wood a result of previous visits from all and sundry.
The door is slightly open and a male voice beckons us in. "This way lads, sorry to have called you out and all that but its the wife…I cant get her to wake up!" This does not bode well. The male looks to be in his late thirties so how old is his wife and what does she suffer from at her age? These thoughts pass through your mind all the time as you continually reassess the situation. "Shes up stairs. We've just got back in from the pub like and she collapsed like!"
Making our way up the stairs we follow the male into a well lived in bedroom. I've seen worse…not much worse. And there she is laid on the floor covered in vomit and stinking of kebabs! (Always does it for me!) Inwardly I breathe a sigh of relief that she is okay and that all the husband wants to do is make sure she is alright, "She can hold her drink can our lass! Shes only been out since two this avvy!" I mentally count down the seconds until we are going to hear that well known expression…5, 4, 3, 2, 1…."Do you think her drinks bin spiked lads?"
A quick look at her pupils and trying to avoid the second hand kebab around her mouth so I can properly check her airway is met by"Waaaa thhhhefffff……geroff yer fffffff…..!" Marvellous! Grabbing an armpit each and carefully lifting her up we place her on the bed where she starts coming round and attempts to focus on the two hi-viz jackets in her bedroom. "Hey I,m real sorry lads! I thought she was like real poorly like!" the husband offers his profuse apologies. "No harm done mate. Just need to do some paperwork then we'll leave you to it!"
My mate bimbles off to the truck to get the paperwork which we need to get signed before calling clear. As I'm talkng to the husband about the latest football scores and the weather and occassionaly helping his wife to sit up straight, a sudden commotion is heard from the bottom of the stairs. "Bollocks! The f****** dogs got loose!" exclaims the husband. All I can hear is banging and struggling and muffled sounds as if something with fangs is trying to bark with a mouth full of ambulancemans trousers!
The husband flies out of the bedroom followed by me just in time to see the door being slammed shut and to hear the pavement being slapped with a pair of size nines running towards the truck! I momentarily recall that my crew mate has a morbid fear of dogs…and cats…and birds…well any animal really! "Can you grab the dog and I'll check on my mate?" I ask the husband to put the dog in the back room. Up until now I've not seen the dog yet. "Tyson! Tyson! Ged ere you mad b*****d ….!" I hear the husband calling to mans best friend as I wait at the top of the stairs.
Once the beast has been calmed and secured away in the back room I make my way to the truck to find my crewmate locked in the cab. "You okay?" I shout through the side window, "Have you been bitten?" Nervously he holds up his leg and displays the tattered remains of his left trouser leg. "B*****d nearly had me throat out!" he states as a matter of fact. "So what happened then?" I ask again through the side window.
"I was just coming back in the hallway and looking down at the first step on the stairs when I looked up and came face to face with a snarling, face full of teeth and spittle!!!" He looks petrified. "So I spun round as fast as I could but me f****** hi-viz got caught on the banister and no matter how hard I tried I could not move. And the vicious b*****d had me! Until I managed to slip out of me jacket and leg it through the door!"
I leave my crew mate in the safety of the truck and return to the house to retrieve his hi-viz jacket. The husband apologises for everything which makes a pleasant surprise for this area. "Hows the dog?" I ask. The husband opens the door and in trots Tyson' into the hallway. I take a quick pic on my mobile phone to let the lads back at base see this monster 'Hound of the Baskervilles'.
And here Ladies and Gentlemen is the nearest picture to preserve confidentiality that I could find:
"TYSON the scourge of Ambulancemens trousers every where!"

Dr. Dobb's Contributing Editor Eric Bruno recently had the opportunity to speak with John Fowler, executive vice president of the Systems Group at Sun Microsystems. In a wide ranging conversation, Fowler boldly proclaimed that "single-core systems are history." Indeed, as Fowler told Dr. Dobb's, you can't even purchase single-core servers anymore, and they're disappearing from data-centers as though they never existed in the first place. And even if you do happen to locate a vendor that still sells a single-core server, why would you buy it? If you have a legacy application that's hopelessly single-threaded, you can still take advantage of multi-core systems with virtualization software; simply run multiple instances of it, including the OS, and consolidate servers. Here's Eric's report:
To kick off our conversation, Fowler began by recapping the hardware/software relationship prior to multi-core technology. It used to be that compute power was measured by clock rate, where increases in clock speed were common if not predictable. For software vendors, this meant a reliable increase in performance without changing any code. However, as processor manufacturers began to bump up against the barriers of heat generation and power consumption, it looked as though Moore's law would stall along with clock rates. Fortunately, by that time, Sun was well ahead of the game with its SMP-based server products and multi-core CPUs. AMD and Intel took the next step and introduced this technology to the desktop and notebook manufacturers. Fowler made it clear to me that adding cores to a processor is not where it ends. Sun has paid careful attention to scale other components of the processor, such as different levels of cache, as well as other components in their servers to take advantage of the architecture.
To be accurate, the discussion should be around multi-thread capable microprocessors, not just multi-core. For instance, Sun's latest UltraSPARC T2 Plus Niagra processor consists of 8 cores, each of which can run 8 threads, forming a 64-way SMP system-on-a-chip. New for the T2 Plus, when compared to the T2, is that it's now multi-socket aware. This means that UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors can be paired to form a whopping 128-thread capable server, such as Sun's just announced 1U servers (Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers). In fact, by the end of 2008, Sun promises to have systems that are 256-thread capable. More information on the SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240servers.
All of these servers, including the ones announced yesterday, will be available for developers to try for free through Sun's Try-and-Buy program. The intent is to get these systems into the hands of those who will put the cores to good use, and help to make this scale of multi-threading pervasive in the marketplace.
Beyond being multi-core and multi-socket capable, the UltraSPARC T2 Plus offers cryptography and networking functions directly on the chip. The processor is capable of performing MD5 checksum calculations, AES and DES encryption, and other cryptography functions. Additionally, with its built-in PCI Express IO functionality, 10GB Ethernet is built into the T2 Plus as well. This amounts to significant hardware acceleration in areas used heavily by most server applications.
Solaris 10 was not only built for highly multi-threaded environments, such as the 128-thread systems Sun is introducing, it will automatically take advantage of the hardware acceleration features listed above. Solaris 10 application developers will be able to take advantage of the processor's new features without any changes. Therefore, applications built for Solaris 10, or even earlier versions of Solaris, will automatically see the benefits of hardware acceleration in these areas without any changes to code or even the need to recompile.
Software Developers and Tools
Of course, to take full advantage of highly multi-thread capable systems, development tools need to be updated. Sun is currently working on enhancements to both NetBeans for Java developers and Sun Studio for C/C++/Fortran developers to take full advantage of multi-thread capable systems. In fact, these tools, as well as Java, are ready today for the multi-core world. Java, for instance, ships with garbage collector (GC) technology that takes advantage of additional processors to perform work in parallel to the application it serves. The next version of Java will extend this with its Garbage First garbage collector to offer lower-pause, lower-latency, GC functionality. And don't forget Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation in the virtual machine that runs in the background to compile and continuously optimize your Java code.
Sun and Fujitsu offer a range of developer tools including CoolTools and Sun Studio 12 software.
Future of Multi-threading
Fowler's prediction on the future of multi-threaded (or multi-core) processors is two-fold. From a software perspective, he believes that cores will become like memory today -- a commodity that developers don't need to pay as much attention to a they did decades ago. With gobs of gigabytes of cheap physical memory at their disposal, developers just aren't focused on memory constraints, and rightfully so. The same will occur with threads; developers will one day write applications that spawn all sorts of dedicated threads that go into tight loops with little concern for context switching and other effects because processing cores will be readily available. If you can imagine a system with the ability to concurrently run 256 or more threads, you can begin to see the reality in this statement.
On the hardware side, Fowler sees dedicated cores, or groups of cores that are set aside to perform specific tasks. However, you need to look beyond the server, even the desktop, and into the mobile world to truly understand the future of multi-threading. For instance, imagine a cell phone or PDA that uses a mobile multi-core processor, where cores are so readily available that one is dedicated to power management, another for network communication, another for video, another for audio, and a remaining pool divided amongst OS and application threads. Such a device, with all of these processing units on one piece of silicon, would save on complexity, design and manufacturing costs, and power consumption. It would also result in a very powerful mobile device that's capable of a lot more than today's already powerful smart phones.
The combination of multi-threaded applications and server virtualization running on such highly multi-threaded hardware will result in highly utilized, high-performance parallel systems that represent a data-center-on-a-box solution. The result will be more compute power in ultra-small spaces with an ultra-low consumption of power compared to the data-centers of just a few years ago. And with tomorrow's multi-core mobile devices being as powerful as today's servers, that data-center might one day fit in your pocket.

SCM Tech 5 Axis Flat Table or Biesse Rover A 1432 5 Axis PTP9/4
Getting more serious about purchasing a CNC. I'm looking at two different machines noted above. We are a high end residential shop. We are not processing tons of sheetgoods per week but the CNC capabilities would drastically speed up our box production. That being said we would also use the CNC to produce interior doors.
Has anyone had experience with either machine and what machine would you recommend for a shop like mine? Also flat table vs point to point. Recommendations?
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to CNCs and I am trying to sort through the sales BS.
Biesse touts there machine like it was made by god himself.
Also I've heard the a five axis machine isn't a great tool for building interior doors as the router isn't heavy duty enough.
Thanks for your input as you are the people who know.
A pod and rail and a flat table are two different animals. You need to figure out what you would like to do with it before picking out which type to get. If you want to do flat panel processing a flat table is a way to go. You can also put pods on a some flat table machine. A pod and rail is really good for doing solid wood machining or boring pre cut panels like box sides and closet uppers and what not. As for which brand I would get the scm. Scm comes with alpha cam which is a real powerful software In which would work with any machine unlike the biesse that has biesse works which isn't very good and only works with biesse. It's also BS about the 5th axis isn't heavy enough for doors. They were made for solid wood maching which uses large cutter heads weighing up to 5lbs.
I have two flat table 5 axis routers. Both SCM machines. We do a lot of solid wood and a lot of cabinet parts. The flat tables allows us to do both. if you only build solid wood stuff the pod and rail is better because it is easier to undercut. I agree about alphacam it is extremely powerful and you can use it with other machines.
I've got both a pod & rail & a flat table. The flat table is much better for cabinet parts at the level we are. Our Komo runs 8 to 10 hours a day nested with one person except on week ends when a 2nd part timer runs it. The P2P has to have the panels pre-cut on the panel saw and might make sense if you were always stack cutting on the saw. Most flat table machines can be setup to use pods when required and Unless you are cutting some really massive lumber I think they are stout enough for most work. If you are going to be cutting a reasonable amount of sheets per day I'd get the self-load unload option. Reduces dust in air, cuts cycle time quite a bit but may not be available on a 5 axis machine. For panel processing get as many drills and tool change locations as you can afford.
We faced the same questions when buying our last CNC we looked at 5 axis but decided against for the reasons below.
Thanks for the responses so far everyone. I really appreciate the input. The responses thus far leave me almost where I started. It is really hard to pick just the right machine especially not knowing exactly how each will perform prior to purchase. Robert, your point about the instability of the 5 Axis machine has been brought up by competing salesman but I wasn't sure how valid it really was. True Z axis height was also raised as a very important issue. Not being familiar with the vagaries of the tooling available yet, this could be a six month research project ...... All input is appreciated.
That being said the SCM is a 4' x 17' flat machine that would enable us to set up for cabinet parts on one end and hardwood milling using pods on the other which seemed like a really good fit for what we do.
Keep the input coming. Alphacam vs. BiesseWorks/bSolid is also welcome. I think I'm hearing that Alphacam is more versitle, yes?
5x12 table. lot's of drills per Larry. What is gonna happen you decide to add closets to your scope ? W
We cut a 30 box kitchen in 6 hours and have it standing that afternoon. We use an auto doweler, bander and make the drawers and band them. We send everything to the machine with the design software. Don't kid yourself, draw it, get approved and send to code.
We have a Biesse 5x12, not made by God himself, but the chaps that did design did a good job. Very reliable
Watch this video and look for the 5 axis cnc. hope it helps.
If you are serious about these 2 machines, I would recommend going to see them in person. BIESSE owns HSD spindle which provides spindles and boring blocks to about 70% of the CNC manufacturers. The tech support offered by BIESSE is better in my mind because SCM relies on their distributors for service so it can vary from area to area. The warranty offered by BIESSE includes all components whereas I've heard other manufacturers limit the warranty on electronics to 6 months plus BIESSE offers a LIFETIME phone support warranty. As far as software goes, I am sure BIESSE works with AlphaCam too.
I think you need to rethink the idea of using a P2P with one end for solid wood and the other for panels. Reason #1. It is quick to change pod locations, even automated on some machines. You will have to change pod locations for almost every different part you make, wood or panel. If you are processing a panel job and using only one end of the machine it will waste too much time. The only way a P2P makes sense for panel work is to have enough repetitive parts that you can stack cut on the saw and pendulum process on the P2P. Otherwise the nested router will far out preform the P2P. As for a 5 axis router, never had one but the Z-axis clearance will need to be a lot more than what the panel processing model would be. The higher you raise the gantry the greater the stress, all other things being =. If you've got the $ go for the C-axis on a flat table. Even if the particular machine you get isn't specifically designed for pods you can get there with some modifications. The Z-axis clearance will still be an issue. Some manufacturers will make changes to their standard machine before construction begins, so you could order some extra Z. The bigger spindle motors on P2P machines are frequently water cooled, adding another complication and maintenance.

I made a short video in what I plan to make a series called "Yoga Explained." Sure, this information exists out there in many different forms, and there's a lot of different approaches to instructional videos, but I hope you'll find these quick videos (this one is less than 2 minutes) both a helpful introduction to yoga and refresher for areas you might glaze over in your practice. It's also a tiny glimpse into me as a teacher, if you've never been to one of my classes.
In this first video, I show variations on the transistion from Plank to Chaturanga Dandasana to Upward Facing Dog to Down Dog. This is a sequence you'll do over and over in any Vinyasa class, and it's one that's easy to get lazy in so it's helpful to remember the proper alignment. It's also a sequence that lends itself well to an Open Level class because there's a variation that will work for you no matter your level. I also always urge my students to try one of these varations that they don't normally go for, to see if they can find something new in it.
Something that I don't fully explain in the video which is important to remember is which breath is attached to each movement. Here's that information along with links to more information for each pose:
Plank Pose: inhale
Knees/Chest/Chin or Chaturanga Dandasana: exhale
Upward Facing Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana): inhale
Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): exhale
PS. Sorry for the low production quality, we don't have much space in our apartment, and no video editing software or skills (this was shot by my lovely fiance on my point and shoot camera).

Going into their last pre-holiday basketball game with a 1-5 record, the Germantown Friends girls could easily have been intimidated when the Mastery Charter School team walked into their gym. Coming from just a few blocks away on Wayne Ave., the Lady Pumas hit the floor for warm ups with some obviously quick guards, good-sized forwards, and a 6'5" center, sophomore Kayla Thomas.
To make the situation more daunting, the Tigers were missing starting forward Julia Mankoff, who was already away on vacation.
The initial impression that GFS was in for a long afternoon last Thursday appeared validated when Mastery deposited its first two field goals in less than 30 seconds, but the host Tigers held their ground. They scored the next nine points and stayed ahead the rest of the way, delighting home fans with a 48-34 victory.
"You look at their big girl and you can't help but say 'Oh my gosh'," admitted first-year GFS coach Ashley Webster. "But we've been telling the team you can't play scared; if a team's aggressive, you have to be aggressive right back. They did what I told them to do, which was attack her from the beginning, and she sat most of the game in foul trouble."
A balanced offense produced three double-digit scorers, freshman Lizzie Becker (13 points) and sophomore Imani Ross (10) both guards, and junior forward Caroline Myran (11 points), who at 5'10" is the Tigers' tallest starter. Senior captains Katherine Walden and Sophie Mercuris scored six and five points respectively, and sophomore Lydia Harvey had three.
"Our defense has been consistent all along, but we just haven't been scoring," Webster related. "I told them it doesn't matter how good our defense is, if we're scoring 20 points a game we're never going to beat anyone. Today we were really attacking the basket and getting shots off."
Mastery Charter (3-2) was unable to utilize Thomas effectively since she was one of several Lady Pumas who picked up early fouls. Ultimately, the visitors had one player foul out and had four others finish with four personals. Nyeelah Rouseau, with 11 points, and Stephanie Reed, with nine, led the offense, and Mastery got five points from Delina Adams, four from Thomas, three from Jean Sheared, and two from Nyshae Wimberly.
Scoring nine points early on, Myran led GFS out to a 15-11 advantage by the end of the first quarter, when the Tigers were already in the foul bonus. In all, they would net 15 points from the line.
Becker scored steadily throughout the game, and bagged a three-pointer in the second period to help forge a 28-20 halftime lead. Playing with poise and confidence, the Tigers outscored their guests in each of the last two periods, as well, with Harvey and sophomore forward Schuyler Alig contributing off the bench. Limited to no more than four points in a row throughout the contest, Mastery was unable to mount a serious rally.
"We've played a tough schedule so far," Webster remarked, "and I think this game will boost our confidence going into the break."
On December 27-29, GFS will compete in the long-running eight-team holiday tournament presented by West Chester University.

The cornmeal (a.k.a. polenta) lends a delicate, crunchy texture to the crumb of this Polenta and Pear Upside-Down Cake.
By CountryLiving
The cornmeal (a.k.a. polenta) lends a delicate, crunchy texture to the crumb of this cake.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Yield: 8 servings
Serves: 8
- 3 ripe Bartlett or d'Anjou pears
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 14 tbsp. butter
- ½ c. light-brown sugar
- ½ c. dark-brown sugar
- 1½ c. flour
- ½ c. finely ground polenta
- 1¾ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ c. milk
- 1½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Peel, halve, core, and slice the pears into 1/4-inch thick wedges. In a large bowl, toss the pears with the lemon juice and set aside. Melt 6 tablespoons butter and pour it into a 10-inch round cake pan, rotating pan to spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the brown sugars over the melted butter. Slightly overlap the pear slices decoratively in the cake pan. Combine the flour, polenta, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside. Lightly beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Beat the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer set on medium-high speed until pale and smooth. Reduce speed to low and alternately mix in the flour mixture and egg mixture, ending with the flour mixture.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool in the pan and on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then run a small, sharp knife around the edge of the pan to release the cake and cool completely before serving.

Patch No. 3 for MLB 10 The Show was delivered to PS3 users earlier this morning, but unfortunately contains a rather serious error - runs crossing the plate on a third out are counted, where they shouldn't.
Pasta Padre noticed the glitch earlier today; we emailed Sony Computer Entertainment America to inquire about any fix plans or workaround. A spokesman told Kotaku that SCEA was aware of the issue and currently working to correct it.
The bug itself points to one of the complicated ways in which a basic baseball result has to be interpreted by a game's AI. Specifically, it has to recognize when a third out is a force out - the majority are - because no run may be tallied on such a play regardless of when the runner crosses the plate.
Other changes made by the patch include keeping unranked matches from counting towards wins and losses in online play; fixing catcher decisions when automatic throwing is enabled, and catchers overthrowing first base on dropped third strikes, and correcting bugs that prevented trades from being made during spring training in franchise and season modes.

News on Elizabeth Smart, the debt ceiling and more biker arrests.
Quote of note
"I want people to know that I'm happy in my life right now. I also, even more so, want to reach out to people who might not be in a good situation. Maybe they're in a situation that was similar to the one that I was in." - Elizabeth Smart, talking to The Associated Press about her just-released book, "My Story," in which she talks about her kidnapping. Smart was kidnapped by a couple when she was 14 years old and was sexually and emotionally abused by her captors.
News to know
According to a report from Yahoo News, Senate Democrats may hold a vote this week on a bill to increase the debt ceiling. The bill would be a "clean" increase, meaning a simple vote to increase the ceiling without adding any amendments to it. The government needs to raise the debt ceiling by Oct. 17 or face defaults.

- Quaternity
0.75 to 1.25 tons
Up to 26.1 SEER / 11 HSPF
Quaternity incorporates extensive technological innovations giving features and benefits that deliver a solution significantly superior to a traditional "mini split" system. The system delivers one of the highest efficiencies on the market, with added features such as being able to set and monitor relative humidity, an integrated air cleaner module, and an excellent range of cooling and heating capacities. Quaternity represents a solution offering complete peace of mind.
Features and benefits:
- One of the first heat pumps capable of controlling humidity levels to a relative humidity setting. Click here for more information.
- Purifies and removes allergens from the air. Daikin's Flash Streamer technology is proven to deliver over 1,000 times faster purification versus normal "plasma" type systems. Click here for more information.
- Up to SEER 26.1 and EER 15.8, one of the highest energy efficiencies in the market. Click here for more information.
- Delivers incredible heating capacity at lower ambient temperature (down to -4ºF). Click here for more information.
- One outdoor unit (RXG) connects to one wall-mounted indoor unit (FTXG)

Quaternity Energy-Efficient
Extraordinarily Energy-Efficient
The inverter technology, developed by Daikin is a true innovation in the area of climate control. The principle is simple: inverters adjust the power used to suit the actual requirement. No more, no less. This technology provides you with two concrete benefits:
- Comfort The inverter repays its investment many times over by improving comfort. An air conditioning system with an inverter continuously adjusts its cooling and heating output to suit the temperature in the room. The inverter shortens system start-up time enabling the required room temperature to be reached more quickly. As soon as that temperature is reached, the inverter ensures that it is constantly maintained.
- Energy efficient Because an inverter monitors and adjusts ambient temperature whenever needed, energy consumption drops by 30% compared to a traditional on / off system.

ENERGY STAR® and the ENERGY STAR mark are registered trademarks owned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. ENERGY STAR products are third-party certified by an EPA-recognized Certification Body. Products that earn the ENERGY STAR prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Proper sizing and installation of equipment is critical to achieve optimal performance. Split system air conditioners and heat pumps must be matched with appropriate coil components to meet ENERGY STAR criteria. Ask your contractor for details or visit
Daikin develops and optimizes every component within our unique system, making sure each element works flawlessly with the next. Optimal performance is delivered from the time a project begins to the moment of experiencing Absolute Comfort. We use the most up-to-date technology to build products that not only elevate the level of high performance but are equipped with advanced built-in intelligence and flexibility.
Less Frequent Stop/Start Cycles
Conventional air conditioners run compressors at a fixed rate — meaning they must stop and start all the time. As a result, they make lots of noise and use up plenty of energy. Daikin® inverter duct-free systems run continuously at varying speeds, delivering hot or cool air only as needed. This innovative technology allows Daikin to achieve up to SEER 26.1 (up to HSPF 11.0) and generate further energy savings during partial load conditions. What's more, with continuous operation, the room experiences better dehumidification and the compressor incurs less stress. And because you can control each room separately, you can lessen or even shut down the flow to areas not in use.
Fully optimized for maximum performance
Daikin's Split and VRV-S® systems operate with R-410A refrigerant, fast becoming the industry standard of the future due to its energy-efficient and zero-ozone-depleting properties. Daikin not only produces R-410A but also optimizes every major system component to work with it, resulting in higher performance, higher EER ratings and lower energy costs.
Inverter technology. What is it?
Inverter technology can be compared to the technology in a car: "The harder you push the accelerator, the faster you go." An inverter unit will gradually increase the compressor speed based on the capacity needed to cool down or heat up the room. A system without inverter technology can be compared to turning on or off a lamp. Turning on this type of unit will start to run on full load.
Advantages of the inverter technology
- The system operates at the required capacity, delivering the amount of cooling or heating to maintain the desired comfort condition.
- Start-up time is reduced by one-third (compared to normal on/off units).
- Avoids cycling operation of the compressor, thus reduced costly current (amp) peaks.
- Minimizes temperature fluctuations.
Reduces the energy consumption by one-third (compared to normal on/off units).
The Quaternity system produces more sensible capacity and better dehumidification than a standard split system allowing in some instances a smaller nominal capacity system to be selected.
If we compare the sensible cooling capacity of a nominal 9MBH Quaternity system we can see that it has 164% of the equivalent 9MBH Standard Split Systems capacity and 121% when compared to the 12 MBH.
This is consistent throughout the range of Quaternity and can be seen above when comparing the 15MBH Quaternity to the 15MBH standard Split System. It has 120% of its capacity and the same sensible capacity when compared to the 18MBH.
It is not only the sensible capacity where the Quaternity unit excels. When you look at the moisture removal rate the Quaternity also exceeds most of the equivalent standard split system and one size up.
Thermal comfort is maintained when the heat generated by human metabolism is allowed to dissipate, thus maintaining thermal equilibrium with the surroundings. It has been long recognized that the sensation of feeling hot or cold is not just dependent on air temperature alone.
Humans are sensitive to humid air because the human body uses evaporative cooling as the primary mechanism to regulate body temperature. Under humid conditions the rate that perspiration evaporates from the skin is lower than it would be under dry conditions. Because humans perceive the rate of heat transfer from the body rather than the surrounding temperature itself we feel warmer when the relative humidity is high than when it is low.
Under conditions of high humidity, the evaporation of sweat from the skin is decreased and the efforts to maintain an acceptable body temperature may be significantly impaired which causes us to feel sticky or start to sweat.
DEHUMIDIFICATION without lowering the temperature
Dehumidification has many beneficial effects on comfort levels. During the summer, where there is an infiltration of high humidity ambient air, even during mild ambient conditions, the room can feel very hot and stuffy. With "Quaternity controlled dehumidification" the system controls the indoor humidity level by mixing the cool dry air with warm air via its intelligent indoor heat exchanger technology. Also, this feature prevents inefficient overcooling, which helps to save on energy use.
Without Quaternity
Room Temperature 77 F
Room Temperature 77 F
Room Temperature 70 F
How is the Quaternity Dry Operation Achieved?
The evaporator of the indoor unit is divided into two sections and solenoid valves are provided in between. In cooling mode, the expansion valve between the condenser and the evaporator works to send low-pressure refrigerant to the indoor side, but in Quaternity Dry Operation, the expansion valve is kept open and a part of the indoor unit is used as a condenser by working the solenoid valve.
Quaternity purifies and removes allergens from the air
Increase indoor air quality with Daikin Flash Streamer technology!
Quaternity reduces the presence of the following substances much faster than other technologies:
An industry first- Daikin's Flash streamer air purifying function removes both allergens and adjuvants from the air you breath.
Flash Streamer technology is proven to deliver over 1,000 times faster purification versus normal "plasma" type systems.
Air is a transportation device for microorganisms which can cause infections or allergic reactions. A method to reduce the effect of microorganisms is to reduce the amount of time a person is exposed to them. This can be achieved with filtration but sometimes the wrong type of filtration can act as a breeding ground for the microorganisms. This is why Quaternity uses a multi-stage filtration and air cleaning system which incorporates the"Flash Streamer" to break down and decompose the microorganisms in a timely manner.
How is Quaternity Air Purification done?
The multi layered air purifying function powerfully decomposes and removes molecules of allergens and odors. In the indoor unit, the air will be filtered out of dust and pollen and the photocatalytic air purification filter will further decompose odors. The streamer discharges high energy electrons which analyzes, powerfully decomposes and removes molecules of allergens, odors, unwanted bacteria, and other hazardous chemical material by collision with high-speed electrons discharged from streamer unit.
Independent laboratory testing was conducted on the Flash Streamer module in the United States showing the following results:
|The MS2 coliphage was used to simulate a virus; this is an extensively studied method and is used as an indicator of a virus survival. It was released into the space and the Flash Streamer was activated. This was then compared to the same concentration of MS2 and the decomposition with natural ventilation. Within 120 minutes, 95.2% reduction compared to natural ventilation was observed.
|The same test was carried out for E. coli and a reduction rate of 91% was realized.
|The mold Aspergillus, which grows in high moisture climates was tested with the same method and achieved a reduction rate from natural ventilation of 75% over a 90 minute period.
All Daikin systems in North America utilize inverter compressors which can run at speeds greater than that used at nominal conditions. This aids the system performance especially during low ambient heating. This can be seen in the following chart displaying the maximum heating capacity of each system when operating in powerful mode or at the optimum compressor speed.
You can see that the Quaternity system exceeds the standard Split System capacity with results of up to 164%.

Journalists are calling it the most important environmental summit to date. In Copenhagen, Denmark, thousands of dignitaries and officials, green crusaders, and the business-minded gathered for the U.N.'s climate change conference, which began Monday, Dec. 7.
When Mark Giorgetti was an undergrad in the early '90s, climate change was a fringe topic, he says, even among environmentalists. Giorgetti co-owns Amenergy, a New Mexico clean energy company, which installs solar tech on houses and businesses for electricity and heat. Sitting on a doorstep in London, he answered our questions days before leaving for Copenhagen.
The Santa Fe resident is attending the summit as a delegate—of the Scottish government. Giorgetti just completed a master's degree program on climate change and carbon management at the University of Edinburgh. "In this field, we haven't even scratched the the surface yet of the types of changes and the growth and the development that needs to happen," he says.
"In this field, we haven't even scratched the the surface yet ... "
Mark Giorgetti
Earlier this year, Scotland passed a climate change act, one that's "the most progressive and most appropriate of any nation in the world," Giorgetti says. In contrast, the United States is struggling with policy in an atmosphere rich with opposition and resistance. "I will speak as an American voice, reflecting on Scotland's achievement and the process we're going through in the U.S."
He's glad to represent New Mexico at the conference, he adds, because the state has a lot to gain. Until there's a long-term commitment to reducing emissions worldwide, "there's not much hope that New Mexico is going to be able to achieve its stated goal of becoming a global leader in solar and renewable energy," he says. "We need that level of investment, and that level of investment only comes when there is stability and a long-term vision with a clear understanding about what the terms are for developing these technologies."
