Online Health Chat with Gerard A. Banez, PhD
August 28, 2013
Living in constant pain is difficult for anybody—but for children and adolescents, it can be almost unbearable as their life experiences change as a result of the pain. As a parent or caregiver, you may feel helpless and frustrated as you watch your child's life change. You child may drop out of sports and other outdoor activities, avoid personal and family responsibilities, miss school and stop spending time with friends, experience increased stress and/or develop symptoms of depression and anxiety, give up their dreams and goals, and feel increased hopelessness.
Chronic childhood pain can stem from various medical conditions or diseases, including complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), chronic headaches (either migraine or tension-type), fibromyalgia, dermatomyositis, Crohn's disease and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, among other sources of pain in the body, such as those involving the back, chest and abdomen. Chronic pain can also result from trauma, such as an automobile accident from a while ago. Some cases of chronic pain are idiopathic (with no known cause) or may be the result of psychogenesis (the mind creates the painful situation). Regardless of the cause, the pain is real. But your child is not alone...nor are you. Various treatments and techniques can be applied to get your child back to doing the things he or she loves to do—despite the pain.

Let's Chat About Ease their Pain: Caring for Kids with Chronic Pain
Moderator: Welcome to our 'Ease their Pain: Caring for Kids with Chronic Pain' with Cleveland Clinic pediatric psychologist Dr. Gerard Banez. We are very excited to have him here today! Let's begin with the questions.
Conditions Associated with Pediatric Chronic Pain
Sneld: What are the typical conditions associated with chronic pain in kids?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Complex regional pain syndrome, headache, abdominal pain and fibromyalgia are among the most common chronic pain conditions seen in an interdisciplinary setting (e.g., a general pediatric practice). Kids who have these conditions often have significant functional impairment. Accompanying symptoms include sleep problems, eating difficulties, and emotional/behavior concerns.
Usual Sites for Pediatric Chronic Pain
Hogwarts Home: Where is chronic pain typically exhibited in children—back, stomach, or head? Or can it be really anywhere?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Chronic pain can be seen almost anywhere in children. The most common locations we encounter pain are the limbs (arms, hands, legs, and feet), head, stomach, and joints. Some kids we see report and feel pain everywhere.
Chronic Headaches
kate52672: What are the indicators that headaches are serious? How do I know that my daughter's headaches aren't just stress related? She really only gets them throughout the school year. During the summer, she gets very few.
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: When headaches get in the way of a child's physical, psychological, school or social functioning, they are serious. Stress-related headaches are very real and can be debilitating. The fact that she gets them only during the school year is better than if she got them year-round and is suggestive of potential causes (e.g., academic stress). It may also point to certain treatments over others. Treatment, however, will be important because school is nine to ten months out of the year. Headaches over that period of time can affect her school, social and emotional function.
silverandgold: My daughter has been getting headaches and migraines starting around the age of five years old. Will this have an impact on her development as she gets older?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: With appropriate medical care, psychological care and other therapies as indicated, kids with migraines and other pain conditions can maintain normal activity and achieve to their potential. With lifestyle changes, this does not have to have a negative impact.
Chronic Stomach Pain Causes
AshleysGram: My grandson is constantly complaining of stomach pain. His parents have taken him to his pediatrician, but 'everything checks out'. What causes chronic stomach pain in kids?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD:Stomach pain is very common among kids. More often than not, the medical workup is negative ('everything checks out'). The stomach pain that kids report is real, but there is no serious, life-threatening condition that explains it. The many contributors to the pain include poor diet, stool problems, slow digestion, stress and anxiety. Effective treatment of childhood stomach pain may consist of medical management, including medicine to treat the pain, psychological services to assist in pain management and coping, and dietary interventions.
Fibromyalgia Diagnosis
Larry&Sally: We live in a very small town in Ohio. Our family medicine doctor thinks that my daughter may be exhibiting the symptoms of fibromyalgia and not just normal growing pains. Our doctor said that we need to see a specialist. Do you have any suggestions about the next steps to take? Her pain seems to be chronic, and throughout her body (especially near her joints). She is often quite tired.
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: I agree with your doctor. It sounds like you should take her to see a specialist. Several pain specialists can be involved in assessment of fibromyalgia. In our setting, a rheumatologist or physiatrist (physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor) are often the next steps in the evaluation of fibromyalgia.
Luv2Read: Is arthritis considered a chronic pain problem? Do you ever collaborate with rheumatologists on the treatment of kids with arthritis?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Yes, arthritis can become a source of chronic pain for children, but not all kids with arthritis will have chronic pain. Nor do all of these children with arthritis develop significant functional problems. The collaboration between all providers, including a rheumatologist, is central to the effective treatment of chronic pain.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Diagnoses
4Kids&Dog: What are the typical signs and symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)? I've been reading about it in fear that my 15-year-old daughter may be experiencing it.
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Complex regional pain syndrome or CRPS is a very complex and challenging pain condition that many are unfamiliar with and few understand. It often— but does not always—develop following physical injury or trauma. The limbs (arms, hands, legs and feet) are most often affected. Pain is more than expected and persists longer that predicted. Among the common symptoms are allodynia (extreme sensitivity to touch), change in color, change in temperature and swelling. Children with CRPS are at risk for impaired function in the affected limb or area, and physical therapy is especially important for recovery.
kbrown: What are the symptoms of CRPS and RSD?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: The symptoms for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), as well as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) include:
- Pain in one or more limbs and/or ankles, feet, or hands
- Pain disproportionate to original injury
- Pain that lingers long after trauma has healed
- Pain that appears after a traumatic event, like a broken bone, automobile accident or bad fall
- Pain described as burning or sharp, coldness and swelling in the affected limb(s), and allodynia (intense pain with light stroking or touching of the skin)
- More common among pre-adolescent and adolescent girls than boys by about 5:1
- Usually seen in girls who engage in sports, dancing or gymnastics
- Affects between 200, 000 and 1.2 million Americans overall
The actual cause of CPRS remains unknown. However, overuse injuries, trauma, psychological stress, nutritional factors, hormones are possible contributors. CRPS reflects dysfunction (overreaction) of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which causes transmission of pain signals after the initial injury.
kbrown: How is complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) diagnosed?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: There is no single test for CRPS or RSD. Clinical diagnosis is made by patient history, thorough examination, and the results of numerous tests (to rule out serious causes, including neurological, vascular, breaks, tears and inflammation)
Neither CRPS nor RSD are life-threatening, but it can become chronic and even spread to other parts of the body. It can last for years and disrupt lives by interfering with daily activity. It is also noted that children with CRPS miss 25 percent of school days.
kbrown: Will complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) go away?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Early diagnosis and treatment offer the highest probability of remission.
Pain-associated Disability Syndrome
magnificant: What is pain-associated disability syndrome, or PADS?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: PADS is a term used to describe the functional impairment or disability often associated with chronic pain conditions. Patients with PADS miss school days, have limited social interactions, and do not participate in sports or other extracurricular activities. They are not as active as age peers due to their chronic pain.
Prognosis of Chronic Pain
Yello_17: If someone experiences chronic pain as a child, do they typically carry it into adulthood?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Course and prognosis vary for each child. Some kids who have chronic pain will continue to have pain into adulthood. For some, the pain gradually goes away and does not return. For others the pain may go away, but returns again at another time. The pain becomes an intermittent problem. It is important to get a good evaluation and treatment so that kids learn to manage the ups and downs of their pain and maintain normal activity despite their difficulties.
Differentiating Growing Pain from Chronic Pain
Jolene: What special considerations should be made when treating pain in children? Are there any typical signs you see when a child's pain complaints move from normal pain to chronic pain? How do I know that my child's pain is actually a chronic problem, and not just normal growing pains?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Developmental factors, both physical and psychological, need to be considered when assessing and treating pain in children. Like you say, what may look problematic may not be when considered from a developmental perspective. To better understand your child's pain, take him or her to the doctor to get an evaluation. Another unique element to treatment of childhood pain is the importance of family involvement. Family involvement during both the assessment and treatment is critical to success.
Over-the-Counter Pain Medication Management
SuperMom: Are typical over-the-counter drugs and doses o.k. for children over an extended period of time? Is it ever o.k. to increase the over-the-counter (OTC) drug dose to that of an adult if the children's doses don't seem to help enough? How do I know which OTC drugs work best? What really is the difference between Tylenol® (acetaminophen), Motrin® (ibuprofen), Aleve® (naproxen) and Advil® (ibuprofen)?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Typical over-the-counter drugs and doses are often used in the treatment of chronic pain in children. As far as length of use, dosing, frequency and relative benefit, these are questions to ask the doctor caring for your child. Because each child and condition is so different, medication responses vary. It will be important for you to find a doctor who is familiar with your child's problems, and one that you can trust for good medication management.
Specialized Treatment for Chronic Pediatric Pain
supermon1987: What special considerations should be made when treating pain in children?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Treatment options vary between medicines, procedures, psychological and behavioral therapies and physical therapy. The types of medications, procedures, psychological, behavioral therapies and physical therapy appropriate for adults may not be the most helpful for kids. Therefore, it is recommended to pediatric pain specialists.
Treatment for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
kbrown: What can we do about complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy)?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) can be treated with the following:
- Physical Therapy (PT) of affected body part desensitizes and restores function, with improvement in strength, endurance and range of motion)
- Drug therapy and other techniques, such as nerve blocks (injection of nerve numbing substance to block pain), TECs (tunneled epidural catheter is placed in the spinal column, providing small dose of pain killing medication during rehabilitation) and SCSs (spinal cord stimulation device sends electrical impulses to spine, affecting pain perception) can help.
- Mind-body approaches like relaxation, biofeedback and self-hypnosis can ease pain.
- Psychological treatment assists with coping and emotional responses.
- Family therapy promotes adaptive parental/familial responses.
SleepyPuppy: My daughter was recently diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). Since then I have noticed more frequent mood swings, and I'm worried she is becoming depressed. She doesn't want to talk. What can I do to help?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: RSD, like other chronic pain conditions, can cause the child to be very emotional and stressed. A response like your daughter's is not uncommon. Kids with RSD and other chronic pain frequently develop depression and other emotional adjustment problems secondary to their pain. Therefore, psychological services are important to help kids learn to cope and function better. I suggest that you arrange an appointment with a pediatric psychologist familiar with chronic pain issues in children your daughter's age.
Chronic Back Pain Treatment
elderson: What should you do if your child has back/low back pain? Is back pain common in young children?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: First, go to be evaluated by your pediatrician to determine and assess the cause of the pain and appropriate treatment. Back pain is not one of the most frequently seen problems in children, but it is not uncommon.
Back pain may be associated with a number of different conditions, and, therefore, is important to be evaluated thoroughly.
TaylorTwin: What should you do if your child has back pain, especially lower back pain? Is back pain common in young children? Is it o.k. to send him to a chiropractor?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Although we see some back pain in adolescents and older children, it is less common to see it in young children. I suggest that you start first with your primary care provider and follow his or her recommendations. Your primary care provider may refer your child to a specialist. Get a proper evaluation done before starting treatment.
Evaluation and Treatment of Complex Chronic Pain
rasltjat: I have a 17-year-old daughter with joint hypermobility, anterior knee pain, musculoskeletal pain, headaches, gastrointestinal issues, etc. She was once a bright, energetic and athletic child. Watching her move about the house now is like watching an elderly person. She can barely walk, and getting up and down off the floor is impossible without assistance. She has gained a lot of weight in the last three years from lack of activity and eating portions that are too large. (She makes healthy food choices, but just eats too much of it.) Because of a family history of addiction issues, she does not want to take pain medication (and we support her decision). If there was only one thing I could do right away for her, without a doctor's assistance, to ease her pain—what would it be? For evaluation and assistance, which physicians or clinics should she be seeing? How do we get insurance to cover her treatment?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: You ask difficult but important questions. Her problems are complex, and treatment will be challenging. The first thing I recommend is that you have her evaluated in an interdisciplinary clinic that specializes in chronic pain. We offer one at Cleveland Clinic Children's where each child is evaluated by a physician, psychologist, and physical or occupational therapist. From there, a multispecialty program that focuses on helping kids manage their pain and restoration of normal activity is in order. Most insurance plans will cover at least some, if not all, of her treatment.
Effects of Pediatric Chronic Pain on Lifestyle
Charliesmom: Charlie has been suffering with chronic pain since he was 10 years old. He is now 12 years old and very self conscious. Is there anything our friends and family can do to help with his pain?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD:'Encourage as much normal activity as possible, so he does not view himself entirely defined by his pain. Promote daily school attendance, social interactions with peers, participation in sports and other extracurricular activities.
It is also important maintain open and nonjudgmental lines of communication with your child. Again, pediatric psychologists and mental health professionals can play a huge role with chronic pain.
babybird213: It sounds like lifestyle changes often help reduce pain symptoms. Are there any other modifications you would recommend?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD:As I just stated in the previous question, there are good care and treatment options available for children who have chronic pain. It is vital for parents to be strong advocates for their child.
newtonm: My son is in so much pain that he is not sleeping, which has been keeping me up as well. Now I'm exhausted and having trouble getting through my daily activities. How does sleep affect chronic pain?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: We know that sleep and chronic pain are affected in a number of ways. Many kids with chronic pain have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep because of their pain and discomfort. As a result of their fatigue, the pain felt during the day may often feel worse and be more difficult to deal with. What we often find is that kids with chronic pain will have unusual sleep cycles where they go to bed very late and then sleep for long periods of time—and then not getting up when they are supposed to. Thus, getting up and going to school becomes difficult. We also find that kids who do not sleep well during the night are taking naps during the day which makes the cycle worse. It is important to emphasize a regular sleep-wake schedule.
newtonm: If physical activity causes my child pain, why is it important to do it anyway? Could my child get hurt?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: First it is important to distinguish between acute pain (recent onset and directly related to injury or trauma) vs. chronic pain.
For kids who have chronic pain, physical activity is very important. In children with chronic pain, the less active they are, the more risk of disability related to the pain is seen. Increased physical activity will improve strength and endurance. For those reasons, kids will feel better. Physical activity also results in the release of brain chemicals that provide pain relief. The more active kids are doing things that they like, the less they think of their pain, the better their mood and quality of life becomes.
worriedmom: My daughter's pain is so bad on some days that she can't go to school. I know that doesn't solve anything, but our doctor can't find anything wrong. What else can I do?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: For kids with pain problems, we encourage daily school attendance as the norm. It is important that kids maintain structure and normal activity despite their pain problems. When children miss school, they fall behind in classes, and become more socially isolated. This, in turn, may cause stressors that can make their pain worse. It is also important to seek the assistance of a pediatric psychologist or pediatric pain specialist who will help your daughter maintain age appropriate functioning.
nystrom: If you are trying to maintain normality for your child, what would you do about summer camp? What kind of information would be important for sleepover camp staff to know when dealing with your child?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Make sure that you have in writing from the physician; psychologist or physical therapist what types of activities should be tolerated by your child.
Encourage normal activity in your child. Provide frequent approval for maintaining activity patterns. Encourage your child to stay calm and practice relaxation where possible. Advocate camp activity attendance or stay with the group doing the activity.
To discourage pain behavior, ignore excessive complaining, pain gestures, and request for special treatment and assistance. Instruct others to do the same if necessary. Dispense medications for symptomatic relief according to directions, and follow recommended time sequence. Evaluate whether the consequence of the pain behavior is to avoid or escape from an activity or situation. If so, consider maintaining things as they are or provide an alternative (e.g., bed rest) that has little appeal to child. Avoid questioning about presence of pain or status of pain.
Critical to the success of any child experiencing pain is the acceptance and commitment to the fact that he or she can live a normal and valued life despite pain.
Acupuncture for Fibromyalgia
happydays: My son was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when he turned 13 years old. Recently, we've been hearing about success with acupuncture. Is there any proof to validate these claims?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD:Acupuncture and other complementary and alternative approaches have become increasingly popular for chronic pain. Clinically, some individuals have reported much benefit from acupuncture treatment because patients vary in their response to different treatments. It is difficult to predict how your child would respond. I would suggest that you discuss this option with your pediatrician to determine how this would work for your child.
Mirror Image Therapy and Hypnosis
UM_GoBlue: I have heard that mirror image therapy and hypnosis can be helpful in treating chronic pain? Is that true? Do you suggest it as a complement to traditional medicine?
Gerard_Banez,_PhD:Hypnosis has been around longer and, yes, there is empirical evidence (data acquired from observation) that it can be helpful as a self-management strategy for chronic pain. Mirror image therapy is relatively new, but intriguing. The material I have read speaks to its use in helping restore limb functionality in patients with CRPS. We have begun experimenting with its use clinically as one part of a more comprehensive treatment for CRPS, which includes physical and occupational therapy, behavioral health services and medical management.
Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Programs
samcat13345: How many programs like yours at Cleveland Clinic exist?
Speaker_-_Dr__Gerard_Banez: There are only a handful of interdisciplinary pediatric pain rehabilitation programs in the United States. Most other programs are day treatment programs. The program that we offer at Cleveland Clinic is unique because it provides both an inpatient and outpatient components. We believe that the inpatient component of our program allows us to teach and instill important lifestyle habits and behaviors effectively, while the day hospital (the outpatient component) helps to facilitate a successful transition from hospital to home.
Moderator: I'm sorry to say that our time is now over. Thank you again, Dr. Banez, for taking the time to answer our questions today about children's chronic pain issues.
Gerard_Banez,_PhD: Thanks to everyone for your time and attention during this chat. Your questions were excellent, and I hope that my responses were helpful. In closing, chronic pain in children can be stressful, but there is plenty of help available to assist kids with chronic pain. With this help, kids can learn to manage their pain effectively and independently—and return to normal, high-quality lives.

On Cleveland Clinic
The Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Program at Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital for Rehabilitation is specifically designed for children and teens whose chronic pain interferes with their normal activities. Our number one goal is to get your child back to living his or her life as best as possible.
The Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation team at Cleveland Clinic Children's offers hope to children and families coping with Pain Associated Disability Syndrome (PADS), even after standard therapies, surgeries and medications have been exhausted. The program addresses each child's individual needs as well as those of the family. Children are examined by the appropriate pediatric specialist(s) to better understand their pain condition. Children are admitted into the program when there is agreement that an intensive, coordinated team approach is needed. Over the course of the program, our staff will communicate with you on a regular basis regarding the status of your child.
The two-part program consists of inpatient and day hospital components. The program's length is tailored to each child's needs, but children are typically seen for three weeks—two weeks as inpatients, and one week as day hospital patients. As inpatients, children and adolescents are often initially seen and treated apart from their parents. This allows them to concentrate on their care, and gives our team the chance to observe and treat them independently. Parents will have meetings with various team members and can visit with their children in the evenings.

Candidate Statement
I am an accelerator engineer working with the Fermilab team for developing present and future accelerators. Further, I am a professor in accelerator engineering educating graduate students, undergraduates, and high-school students from the U.S. and other countries about accelerator engineering and physics and their applications.
Fermilab's capabilities from machine design to accommodating the end users, including accelerator scientists and engineers), parallel needs called out in the recent DOE reports including the "Accelerator R&D Task Force Report" and "Accelerators for America's Future." In fact, just in this year, I have watched the Fermilab resources help radiation safety design teams, involve students in ongoing research at Fermilab, and open its doors to new collaborations. This outreach and collaboration highlights the Fermilab message - of being an open and collaborative research facility.
My goals are two-fold:
- to provide an accelerator engineer's and educator's perspective to the Fermilab User's Organization
- insure that Fermilab maintains and strengthens its reputation as an open and collaborative research laboratory with academia, industry, other government agencies, and international collaborators.

Recently, I decided that I would be supporting the mayoral candidate who promised to impose a five-year ban on Broadway musicals based on movies.
Nobody in the crowded field of hopefuls has yet taken me up on the offer--- though I hold out hope for Anthony Weiner, who could probably benefit from a new idea associated with his name--- and in any case, the ban wouldn't technically apply to Far From Heaven, which for now is playing off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons. Certainly, this latest Hollywood import does not display any of the embarrassing, charmless incompetence that's depressingly common to this peculiar sub-genre. In fact, there's plenty to admire about it, from a virtuosic cast led by Kelli O'Hara, to a pleasant score by Scott Frankel. But if Far From Heaven doesn't join the gloomy ranks of Ghost or High Fidelity, it does seem to affirm a long-standing suspicion: whatever movies do that makes them work, they do it better than musicals.
The movie in question here, Todd Haynes's critically acclaimed art-house gem from 2002, earned Julianne Moore an Oscar nomination for the role of Cathy Whitaker, a suburban Connecticut homemaker in 1957 whose life parallels the larger societal changes of her era. One night, Cathy wraps up a home-cooked dinner and heads down to the office of her overworked husband, Frank, where she discovers him passionately making out with another man. Shocked by this unthinkable act, Cathy implores Frank to undergo some form of "conversion therapy," an indignity to which he reluctantly agrees. His heart is never really in it, though, and Frank soon turns to alcohol, which leads to increased aggression toward, and alienation from, his sensitive wife.
But there's another thing, and actually, it's the crux of this story. Cathy, see, has started to confide in her new gardener, Raymond, an intelligent and handsome man who also happens to be black. The blossoming "friendship" of Raymond and Cathy, perhaps even more unthinkable (and certainly less concealable) than a same-sex affair, creates a fracas in their respective communities, even among Cathy's closest friends.
Richard Greenberg's libretto is markedly faithful to the film, which Haynes also wrote himself. The plot machinations all add up, and several of the screenplay's most memorable lines have been set, verbatim, to fateful music. Though Michael Korie's lyrics were a tad busy and bland for my taste, Frankel's appealing score navigates emotions with ease, and the structure of the piece is impressively tidy, thanks partly to the director, Michael Greif.
The movie, though, took its power primarily from the atmosphere. Every leaf, every car, every haircut, was calibrated to capture the mind's image of this acute historical moment, just before the real collision of values and identities that would define the following decade. You simply can't do that on stage, at least not in the same way, and so except for a few leaves that drop from the ceiling at opportune moments, what we're left with is the story itself. And that, ultimately, is what makes Far From Heaven a less-than-satisfying work of full-blooded theatricality.
While Cathy and Raymond's story is undeniably compelling, at least theoretically, I began to wonder whether their deck is stacked a little too thickly. Does Raymond really have to be a perfect father, gardener, and interpreter of abstract art--- and always the most reasonable one in the room? As a social symbol, this African-American paragon of virtue hits all the right notes. But it drains any real tension from his dalliance with the equally pristine Cathy. In our era, of course, we know it's wrong that people thought such things were wrong. "Far From Heaven" doesn't have much to say beyond that, and with such uncommonly unflawed humans at its center, there's a wave of self-satisfaction to its theme that denies us the opportunity for real catharsis. As the slow-dancing couple traded lyrical cliches about how the world doesn't understand them ("Given my druthers / I'd get on with others / But others keep drawing a line"), I yearned for more scenes with the brooding and enigmatic Frank, whose forays into the seedy, underground world of 1950's gay life happen entirely offstage.
O'Hara gives a lovely, understated performance as Cathy, drenched in her usual bright vocals. Steven Pasquale is a triumph as Frank, and Isaiah Johnson gamely makes the most out of his turn as Raymond. Jake Lucas and Juliana Rigoglioso, both well before their teenage years, show remarkable intelligence and durability as Frank and Cathy's children. Among Cathy's busybody neighbors, Nancy Anderson stands out as Eleanor, her supposed best friend.
The show's musical highlight is a solemn eleven-o'clock ballad called "Tuesdays, Thursdays," in which Cathy takes stock of all the changes in her life with increasing fury, while on a phone call with her husband. The precision of the lyrics is perfectly matched with the rising discord of the music, and O'Hara delivers it ably. But it's memorable most of all because of the way it freezes time to sketch an emotional map of Cathy's inner thoughts, outside the immediate context of the story. In other words, unlike too much of Far From Heaven, it's a moment that could only happen in a musical.

TiVo's stock led the media pack yesterday, up nearly 4% after it announced that it will collect $250M from Verizon to settle their patent infringement dispute. And today it's still on top, up about 3% to $10.25 in early trading. Lazard Capital Markets' Barton Crockett helped this morning by upgrading his recommendation on TiVo stock to "buy" from "neutral" with a target price of $14. That's a bit of a surprise: Yesterday, Crockett said that the Verizon settlement was "close to our expectations" and "not a sea-change." But this morning he says that "upon further analysis" he concluded that the terms with Verizon make him "more optimistic" that TiVo will negotiate another settlement in its patent infringement case against Google's Motorola Mobility, scheduled to go to trial this spring. "Google is seen by many as potentially a seller of Motorola Mobility," Crockett says. "Settling the TiVo suit could make a Motorola sale much easier." Brean Murray Carrett & Co analyst Todd Mitchell also says that the Verizon deal bodes well for the DVR pioneer. There's a "high likelihood" the Motorola suit will be settled before trial because the business "cannot be priced with the overhang," he says this morning. Cisco also might be motivated to resolve its differences with TiVo: If it doesn't, then it would be "at a disadvantage pitching its home gateway business" from its recent acquisition of software company NDS, he says.
TiVo Shares Continue To Rise As Investors Expect More Patent Suit Settlements
5 Comments
TiVo fighting the cable companies for the last remaining scraps from traditional tv broadcasting. It's all (broadcasting) going online folks – tv shows will have their own URL's and will stream right to your internet-ready tv. Ad dollars will flow to the websites that attract the most eyeballs. The home entertainment paradigm is about to make a very disruptive shift.
I remain amazed that a DVR is a patentable item-yet the market is only TiVo or a home made Home Theater PC. Even Sony gave up-I've one of the very few Sony HDD units, a consumer DVR with no subscription fee other than the cablecard.
My kids never watch appointment TV. Everything is recorded or streamed. I hope TiVo has an exit strategy.
Litigation is not a sustainable business plan.
And yet that's all that TiVo seems to offer aside from a depressing lack of innovation. (Their new TiVo Stream is a joke.)
TiVo's business model is fundamentally flawed, which is why their small subscriber base – now under 3 million – just keeps getting smaller. They haven't sufficiently evolved to adapt to the changing landscape, and are hence increasingly irrelevant. Their inevitable obsolescence will only be hastened once Apple fully enters the market and crushes them like a bug.
P.S.: And BTW, I'm a TiVo customer who's been with them since the very beginning.
People criticize Tivo for making its profits from lawsuits. Think of it this way…if you were nearly put out of business by competing products using your patented technology, wouldn't you sue the pants off of them too?
Everyone tells me that Tivo is going out of business because of "cable-cutters" who watch on-demand TV instead of recording cable. That logic is fundementally flawed. Although some people will prefer to watch some of their shows over the web, media companies won't turn over their premium content to subscription services like Netflix. You want good programming, you pay for it. If you want premium on-demand shows, you can purchase them on itunes, but if you add it up, you might as well pay for cable.
I expect Tivo to be around for a while, even if they make razor thin profits from consumers. A lot of smaller cable companies are partnering with Tivo to enhance their DVRs.
As a cord cutter for the past four years, my TiVo is the most indispensible part of that system. I have a good outdoor antenna and get over 40 OTA channels, most in beautiful HD. I do supplement the OTA content with Netflix, a ROKU, and Playon software for some good steaming options but its definitely the TiVo that has kept us satisfied these past four years with plenty of viewing options. Total montly cost $8! (we have lifetime service on our TiVo). I do agree that TiVo needs to stay on the cutting edge with there systems and need a better "whole home" solution than what they seem to be cobbling together currently. As far as the lawsuits, yes they have every right to go after companies that stole their patented products and took market share and momentum from them.

Highland • In a lot of his games, Baron Gajkowski would like nothing more than to lay somebody out.
That's not exactly in the Lone Peak quarterback's job description. He's supposed to move the ball, with his legs or his arm, and keep it secure. He's supposed to put up points, and he's done that with 12 total touchdowns in four games to lead the 2-2 Knights.
But still, he misses being on defense. And it looks like he'll get the chance to play on that side of the ball after committing to Utah State on Sunday.
"That's where they kind of see me," Gajkowski said. "I don't know where that will be. They had me doing so drills with the defensive backs and at safety. If I grow, maybe linebacker, maybe defensive line. But I feel good about going there. I think it's the right fit for me."
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound senior has been a talked-about player for some time. He burst upon the scene as a sophomore, playing the second half of a playoff game against Lone Peak at quarterback. The next year he transferred there, and helped the Knights muscle their way into the semifinals at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
This year he leads Lone Peak in total offense and scoring, but his future likely lays on the other side of the ball. Coach Lone Peak Mike Mower called Gajkowski "the most competitive kid I know."
The Aggies were a latecomer in Gajkowski's recruiting, and only came on stronger after having him up for a camp. He had heard good things from former coach Tony McGeary about Matt Wells and offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven, and when he finally met them, the coaches at Utah State made him feel at ease.
"It was kind of night and day going up and seeing how their program worked," Gajkowski said. "They were real honest with me. They said they wanted me, but if there were things I could work on, they would tell me. The whole process was great."
Lone Peak alums Kyle and Kevin Whimpey, older brothers to Gajkowski's good friend Riley Whimpey, also persuaded him by telling him about the program and how much they liked Logan. He said he also got along with defensive coordinator Todd Orlando.
The overall good vibes convinced him to commit to the program Sunday night, and he said he won't soon budge.
Gajkowski added that he is scheduled to graduate in January. He may enroll early or go on an LDS Church mission. The Aggies are still unsure where they might play him, he said.
He's glad to put the recruiting process behind him and focus on his high school team. But he'll also be watching the Aggies throughout the season - especially this weekend against USC.
"It's exciting - Utah State is definitely a program on the rise," he said. "I definitely think they can give USC a run for their money this weekend."

MILAN — At Roberto Cavalli, makeup artist Diane Kendal went for, "an extended, dramatic, smoky eye" using MAC Cosmetics.
First, a brush-blended line was drawn in Coffee Eye Pencil under and over the eye. Ebony eyeliner pencil saturated the inside rim and the top of the eye, and the shape was extended into a little triangle on the outer corner.
"We don't want a rounded eye shape," she said. Black cream liner was applied very close to eyelashes. Champagne shimmer highlighted the center of the eyelids.
Skin was moisturized with light coverage foundation. Kendal described the nude Siss shade on lips as "aesthetically rich and beautiful against the smoky eye." Powder blush in Worldly Wealth was brushed on cheeks.
Hairstylist Guido Palau created a "simple, wet-shine updo — a messy bun with bits sticking out," using Redken products.
Shine Flash 02 was loaded into dry hair to affect a wet shine before it was gathered and wrapped into a messy bun towards the top of the head, clear of the high collars and furs in the collection. Forceful 23 tamed stray wisps and shaped the crown.

I've slow roasted beef eye of round a bunch of times with really great results (cooked to internal of 130 or so), but I'm cooking a pork shoulder and eye of round and am thinking of slow cooking the beef up to 190 or so and pulling it for sandwiches.
Has anyone done this with eye of round? I'm thinking of wrapping some bacon around it as well.

We had a fantastic stay at Abigail's B&B with some friends this summer. Beth and Kipp worked to place us in adjacent rooms and sent us off each morning with an incredible breakfast and recommendations for visits and meals. We could not have asked for more gracious hosts. We will be back.

My sister and I spent a WONDERFUL 2 days and nights in Camden at Abigail's Inn in mid-January 2012. It was such a special and perfect stay, and we loved our room (Abigail and John Suite) so much! Everything was cozy, bright, and warm. AND the breakfasts and evening treats were AMAZING. Beth, Kipp, and the boys were a joy to spend time with and we will definitely be planning our next trip to mid-coast at Abigail's Inn!
4,6 su ottobre 11, 2010
Absolutely loved the room. Great Location. Breakfast was great, but I would consider it a light breakfast which was good after eating too much elsewhere while on vacation. TV was very small and picture quality was not the best, but we didn't watch it much anyway. This was by far the best value we had while on our vacation.

My wife and I spent a weekend in Camden last year.I was unfamiliar with the area and took a chance on Abigail's.The room was fantastic,the owners were incredibly kind and helpful with planning our activities.I would stay there again next time we are in the area. the Larsons

The distinctive touch of Innkeepers Beth and Kipp is evident everywhere as they personally invite you into their home. The entire house is spotless, yet abundantly covered with huge helpings of tender loving care. The rooms reflect their history, yet are upgraded to today's modern comforts. Breakfast included such wonders as baked bananas and Dutch Bunny, yet Beth and Kipp say they have never attended a culinary school. They are encyclopedic in their knowledge of the area and its history, and can recommend locations and establishments to meet any of your travel needs. Abigail's is a delightful inn run by delightful people.
4,8 su luglio 10, 2008
We loved the proximity of Abigail's to everything in Camden. We also loved the clean and clutter-free rooms. What we loved the most, though, were Kipp and Beth - they are welcoming innkeepers that really go the extra mile for their guests.
5 su dicembre 27, 2007
We have stayed at Abigail's Inn twice in the past two years and plan another stay in 2008. The rooms are confortably furnished and the location is super convenient - just a few minutes walk to downtown Camden and the harbor. Beth and Kipp are great hosts and provide a delicious breakfast (if you're lucky you'll get a chance to sample Beth's brownies). The sitting rooms and front porch are great places to sit back, and the nicely landscaped backyard provides a relaxing getaway.
4,8 su novembre 19, 2007
Kipp and Beth have done a beautiful job restoring this lovely inn. Each room is very different, but all are incredibly appealing. The location is ideal for strolling into town for dinner or shopping. Beth and Kipp are incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend Abagails.
4,8 su novembre 18, 2007
Beth and Kipp have done a wonderful job of renovating this delightful B&B. I loved the Abigail and John Suite, which was spacious and mercifully uncluttered. I caught up on email using my laptop using their wi-fi and the convenient desk, then curled up with a book in one of the comfy chairs in front in the cozy fire. Ample common areas; delicious breakfast and afternoon treats.

We really enjoyed Abigail's. Our room, the Abigail and John room, was spacious and very comfortable. The front porch was delightful. We enjoyed sitting and watching the foot traffic go by as we enjoyed our afternoon coffee. Camden is our favorite Maine village. The full breakfast was exceptional.

Lease Takeover: Loaded 2011 BMW 335i Coupe 6 spd Ti Slvr/Black $796/mo + incentives!!
Fellow BMW enthusiasts...I am going to be re-locating to snowy Colorado next month, and unfortunately, this will not be a good vehicle to take out West in the snow. As 2 HUGE incentives, I will pay $250 of the $500 lease transfer fee to BMW (includes all paperwork and everything else - you will pay $250 as earnest money to start the transaction so I know you are serious, which is non-refundable), and I will also pay your first months payment at the time of delivery of the car! $1046.09 worth of incentives!!! There are 21 months left on the lease, and I paid up for 15,000 miles/yr. This has been, by far, my most favorite BMW that I have owned and I truly hate to have to get rid of it. I take meticulous care of all my vehicles and it gets washed at least once a week - I have a monthly unlimited wash membership at a hand car wash locally, so I take it in on my lunch hour all the time. Non-smoker, and ALWAYS garage kept. The interior and exterior are in like new condition. This car is a blast to drive and an absolute head-turner. I am happy to help arrange shipping of the vehicle or meet you at the Atlanta airport so you can drive it home if you fly in.
Here is a YouTube video walkaround of the car:
I also have the vehicle on Swapalease: http://www.swapalease.com/lease/deta...x?salid=769457
Email me with questions. I prefer to talk to you via phone about the vehicle.
Vehicle details and options -
2011 BMW 335i Coupe - 6-speed manual transmission - Titanium Silver Metallic - Black Dakota Leather - Convenience Package - M Sport Package - Premium Package - Moonroof - 19" Alloy Star-spoke wheels w/run-flat Bridgestone tires - Heated front seats - iPod and USB adapter - Navigation system - Satellite radio - Harman Kardon premium surround sound system - Tinted windows (Formula 1 brand tint - 15%) - Thanks. _sl_ _sl_

* Corn falls on relief for parched Argentine crops * Wheat follows corn to 1-month low, ample supplies weigh * Soybeans buck downward trend on China demand talk (Rewrites, updates with closing prices, adds new analyst quote) By Mark Weinraub CHICAGO, Jan 18 (Reuters) - U.S. corn and wheat futures fell to their lowest level in nearly a month on Wednesday in anticipation of much-needed rain during the weekend providing relief to parched crops in Argentina. The weather-related weakness in corn spilled over to wheat, which also was under pressure from plentiful global stocks and light demand for U.S. supplies on the export market. Soybean futures fell in line with wheat and corn early but found support around the 30-day and 50-day moving averages and rallied late in the day to close unchanged from Tuesday. Some talk of Chinese demand for U.S. soy also helped bolster soybean prices. The latest weather forecast boosted expectations for rain this weekend in South America, predicting that as much as 1.5 inches (38 millimeters) could fall in Argentina during the weekend. "It's a little wetter in southern Argentina Saturday through Monday," said Andy Karst, meteorologist with World Weather Inc. "That is probably the biggest change." The forecast reinforced expectations for needed rain that South American farmers hoped would stabilize a crop that already has lost much of its potential due to the dryness. Chicago Board of Trade March corn futures settled down 10-1/2 cents at $5.93-1/2 a bushel. Prices bottomed at $5.92-1/2 during the session, their lowest since hitting $5.84-1/4 on Dec. 19. CBOT March wheat fell 12-1/2 cents to $5.92-1/4 a bushel, hitting a low of $5.90 during the session. The intraday low was the lowest level since $5.81-3/4 on Dec. 19. CBOT March soybeans were unchanged at $11.83-1/2 a bushel. "There is a little bit of selling in anticipation of the rain event coming up (in Argentina)," said Dennis Cajigas, senior market strategist at the Zaner Group LLC. "It may be a little bit of profit-taking ahead of the (storm)." The grains market also remained under pressure from a U.S. Agriculture Department report last week pegging corn and soybean supplies above expectations and wheat seedings bigger than market estimates. "We are still kind of digesting the report from last week," said Jason Britt, analyst with Central States Commodities. "We got our curveball. Normally, you are looking at probably three to four days for the trade to get back into balance after they throw you a curveball like that." The La Nina weather phenomenon, which has been linked to the hot and dry weather in South America this year, has displayed signs of weakening over the past two weeks, Australia's weather bureau said. The drought conditions have caused many crop watchers to lower their estimates of the South American crops beyond the cuts to production the U.S. Agriculture Department made in its monthly supply-and-demand report last week. Private analyst Michael Cordonnier lowered his forecast of Brazil's 2011/12 soybean production to 71 million tonnes, down 1 million from his previous estimate. He cut his forecast for the Argentine soy crop by 1 million tonnes to 50 million tonnes. For corn, the closely watched Cordonnier cut 2 million tonnes from his forecast for Argentine production and 1 million tonnes from his forecast for Brazil's crop. Prices at 1:40 p.m. CST (1940 GMT) LAST NET PCT YTD CHG CHG CHG CBOT corn 604.00 -11.00 -1.8% -6.6% CBOT soy 1183.50 -1.50 -0.1% -1.3% CBOT meal 310.50 1.20 0.4% 0.4% CBOT soyoil 50.77 -0.37 -0.7% -2.5% CBOT wheat 604.75 -12.25 -2.0% -7.4% CBOT rice 1458.00 -22.50 -1.5% -0.2% EU wheat 197.50 -2.50 -1.3% -2.5% US crude 100.65 -0.06 -0.1% 1.8% Dow Jones 12,546 64 0.5% 2.7% Gold 1657.90 6.20 0.4% 6.0% Euro/dollar 1.2846 0.0111 0.9% -0.8% Dollar Index 80.5720 -0.6100 -0.8% 0.5% Baltic Freight 926 -48 -4.9% -46.7% (Reporting by Mark Weinraub; Editing by Dale Hudson and Lisa Shumaker)


text: You're right. There are people who genuinely think they have an ability and try to help people. I wouldn't call them scammers. The easiest way to spot a scammer is to follow the money. Some so-called psychics bilk people out of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. There have been some who drain an elderly person's bank account to zero before they move on to their next victim. These people are the lowest of the low and are completely different from someone who does some Tarot card readings at no charge for friends because she thinks she can help them. I knew a girl in college like that.

Most notable this week was all the back and forth about Creepy's review of the "Killer Cut" of Friday the 13th 2009 (which generated more comments than we've seen around here in quite some time).
However, there was also much appreciation being shown to Paramount for its reissues of Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of the F13 franchise. With so much focus on Jason, a few items might have gotten a bit lost in the shuffle. But that's why we do this feature. From June 7-13, 2009, these are the stories that made the Weekly Wrap-Up:
I'm so intrigued by the premise of As Darkness Falls that under normal circumstances it probably would have been the Woman's Story of the Week, but some other news broke that cannot be overshadowed. And that is What's This? Trick 'r Treat News? Huzzah! I can't even remember how long we've been hearing about this freakin' film, and now, finally, everyone will be able to decide for themselves if it is truly THE quintessential Halloween film many of those who have seen it are saying it is. Elaine definitely concurs in her review of Trick 'r Treat: Tales of Mayhem, Mystery & Mischief, the flick's companion book. And there's a graphic novel on its way, too, that will coincide with Trick 'r Treat's October release.
Trick 'r Treat has certainly had an arduous journey on its path toward finding its audience — take a look at the date on the poster below as proof — but it also serves as an inspiration to indie filmmakers and horror fans alike to never give up on themselves (or each other) and the value of their efforts. The cream does almost always rise to the top. Huzzah, indeed!
Until next time …

Technologizing Fashion
Posted by Techstyle, Inc. in Jewelry on 18. Jan, 2010 | 224 Comments
Most attempts to insert technology into fashion have been unsuccessful. Inventors have been "fashionizing" technology instead of "technologizing" fashion. The former technology disguised as fashion and the latter as fashion-driven technology. There is very little fashion-driven technology today but there are many example of fashionized technology: the laptop clutch purse, the inflatable dress, and the [...]

Sorrell's character is just about to step off the ledge of a hi-rise and jump to his death before Benson's character (they're business partners in a brokerage firm (founded by Sorrell's character's father) that was swindled, but they're about to take the rap for it) and Shepherd's character (she's their secretary) convince him to come inside. The hard nosed senior partner seems almost disdainful when he's told of the near-suicide, but he invites the would-be jumper into another, seemingly more fruitful suicide pact...he and the other partner (played by Benson) are going to hire a hit man to kill them so insurance will pay (dearly) their survivors, who otherwise will get nothing. Sorrell's character reluctantly agrees to join in on the pact. The hard nosed guy says "Once we make this phone call (to arrange the hit) there's no going back." Sorrell's character finds he's not quite ready for eternity yet. He and the secretary (who seems to be his Girl Friday) go on a cruise, where as they're nearing home port they receive some wonderful news. He'd bought some "penny gold" stocks in a mining company as a favor to a friend years back. Originally nearly worthless, their value has gone through the roof with the mining company's discovery of a mother lode of gold. Hurray! The debts can be paid off. Sorrell's character phone's Benson's with the great news. He also says they can call off the little deal they arranged for. One problem...the hard nosed partner was shot dead where he stood that morning on the street. (A memorable line...his name was "Mr. Folger", and Shepherd's character says: "I'm going to go into Mr. Folger's office to make some coffee.")
Elaine Havana
Three businessmen in the middle of a corporate scandal agree to a suicide pact to escape the pressures and disgrace of their predicament. Fearing for the welfare of their families after their demise, they hire a killer to murder them thus ensuring their loved ones will receive insurance benefits. But once the hit is called, it cannot be rescinded… but why would they want to go back on their pact?
This was a pretty good suspense episode. I suspect a few businessmen have never heard of Murphy's Law!!! I think it would go something like: "Whenever you plan ahead for the worst, the best thing, ever, will happen to you."
This is one of my favorites where employees of a company going under devise a plan to have themselves killed so their families can claim their life insurance.
Another good listen, if not for the great line about coffee in Mr. Folger's office. An interesting way to get out of a contract hit on yourself (assuming you're the one who ordered the hit).
Good episode!!

One-Hour Delivery
For the nearly four years the one-hour delivery service called Kozmo operated, its customers loved it. The company's moped-powered delivery drivers would not only deliver nearly anything to its target market (movies, candy, fast food, etc.) in the nine cities it was last operating in, but it would pick those items up en route — all for a small fee, of course.
In the end, however, the delivery fee had to be small enough to remain palatable, yet big enough to make the company profitable — a dual mandate that never was achieved.

The Detroit Pistons traded guard Ben Gordon and a future protected first-round pick to the Charlotte Bobcats for forward Corey Maggette, the Pistons announced Tuesday.
The Pistons will receive salary cap relief, especially after the 2012-13 season. Gordon has two years and $25.6 million left on his deal, and Maggette has just one year and $10.9 left on his deal.
The Pistons saved $15 million, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because terms had not been announced.
"We welcome Corey Maggette to our organization in a transaction that provides us with a veteran scorer and defender in addition to increased roster flexibility moving forward," Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars said in a statement. "We thank Ben Gordon for his commitment to our organization over the last three years and wish him the best in the future."
Gordon averaged 12.5 points last season, including a 45-point outing at Denver in which he tied his own NBA record by making nine 3-pointers without a miss. The NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in 2005 with Chicago spent three disappointing seasons in Detroit, averaging 12.4 points.
Maggette was limited to 32 games last season because of injuries, averaging 15 points. The 13-year veteran has averaged 16.2 points in his career.

First of all, if this topic is going over old ground, please refer me to the right place... I have looked and possibly not found!!
My request is two fold : Firstly, is it possible for some to list the PVR / EPG specific XBMC commands, to help people trying to do custom keymappings . There is quite a bit of info around, but it is not incorporated into the main Wiki, or dedicated forum!
Secondly, a more of a personal feature request! I have mapped the command ( which i cant remember from the top of my head!) for the EPG to my Harmony One remote Actions, so when my girlfriend pressed "Watch TV" is comes up no matter what is playing and allows a channel to be selected! However, for WAF would it be possible to have a command that takes you straight into the last selected channel in fullscreen?! I know there is an option for XBMC to start in this state, and surely this is done via script?! So is this script "keymap-able" or is there a command / command sequence which can achieve this effect!
My reasons for asking this are simply 1) WAF and 2) for a more streamlined PVR / TV exeperience, as in press a button and your watching your last channel instantly?
Thank you all in advance!

Ah, cheers for that mate... I'll comment and see if I can stir some interest in it again! Like I said there's a script to run goto last live tv channel on start-up so hopefully it wouldn't be such a hard command to implement!

"Conveying emotive expression of music to listeners as it was produced
without exaggeration". The "K-05" is built with the philosophy that an
integrated Super Audio CD player of the ESOTERIC's K series will satisfy the
highest criteria of music lovers. These features include VRDS-NEO "VMK-5" Super
Audio CD transport mechanism with ESOTERIC's established reputation, a 32-bit
dual mono D/A converter combining multiple DAC circuits, high sampling rate
digital inputs and USB input supporting asynchronous transmission at 24 bits/192
kHz as well as a cutting edge high-precision clock circuit.
VRDS-NEO VMK-5 ESOTERIC's proprietary VRDS-NEO transport mechanism
VMK-5, incorporated in this new model, improves the accuracy of data acquisition
by using a high-precision turntable that corrects disc surface shake during disc
This hybrid turntable is made from high-precision aluminum and polycarbonate
material helping to minimize rotational inertia. A hybrid structure, combining
high rigidity BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) and steel is used for the turntable
bridge which significantly attenuates rotational vibration. The spindle motor
improves the accuracy of reading signals through advanced servo control using
motor speed feedback loop circuit.
ESOTERIC's proprietary technology, the differential gear system is used for
mechanical operations from tray opening and closing to disc clamping. This gear
system provides exceptionally smooth disc loading operation (Patent No.2861798
owned by TEAC Corporation.).
Axial sliding pick-up designed to prevent optical axis
Axial sliding pick-up designed to prevent optical axis tilting The same
axial sliding pick-up assembly, used in the flagship "K" series model K-01, is
incorporated in the heart of the data acquisition section. As the lens moves,
the laser optical axis is always positioned in a vertical direction, ensuring a
highly accurate reading of the recorded material.
Dual mono D/A converters based on the concept of the
The analog output circuit of the D/A converter has both high end resolution
as well as natural and musical texture. Asahi Kasei's top-end 32-bit DAC device
"AK4399" is used. This component provides the heart that drives the expressive
power of ESOTERIC's "K" series products. A parallel/differential output where
two circuits combine per channel provides high linearity and low noise. The
converters and analog output circuits, which make up a fully dual mono
configuration, are located on the left and right hand sides of the board,
completely separated from the digital signal processing circuit. This layout
allows for excellent channel separation and high-quality playback with rich
localization and sonic depth.
High quality buffer circuits
For the final stage of analog audio output (buffer amplifier), New JRC's high
end audio operational amplifier MUSES is used. These buffer circuits are laid
out symmetrically for each of the hot/cold signal lines to construct a fully
balanced configuration. When the RCA audio output is selected, the buffer
amplifier is switched to parallel configuration. These enhancements provide the
best sound quality for each of the balanced and unbalanced audio signal
Large capacity toroidal transformer that handles high speed
transients with ease
Large capacity toroidal transformer that handles high speed transients with
ease Large toroidal transformer features low noise, low distortion, and
high current with very high efficiency. The strong power circuits, combined with
very large power capacitors, supply stable and clean power to all circuits.
Multiple D/D functions to suit multiple sources
In addition to playback at the original sample rate and word length,
extensive D/D conversion modes for PCM formats include PCM up conversion to x 2
or x 4 from the original sampling frequency, using the "RDOT" algorithm, as well
as PCM > DSD conversion to convert the PCM audio signal to DSD format similar
to Super Audio CD. Super Audio CD is directly converted into analog signals and
played back.
Digital filter "Off" mode and four types of digital
The K-05 features Digital Filter Off mode recommended by ESOTERIC, which is
characterized by a smooth and subtle sound quality. The model also features four
types of digital filters for PCM signal processing. In addition to two types of
FIR (Finite Impulse Response) digital filters, two types of short delay digital
filters (Referred to as "apodizing" filters) are installed. These filters
eliminate the pre-echo in the impulse waveform to reproduce audio signal as a
more natural and precise sound.
Three systems of high sampling rate digital inputs
Three systems of high sampling rate digital inputs The K-05 features
three systems of digital inputs (USB, coaxial and optical), and these digital
inputs support high-sampling-rate sources up to 24 bit / 192kHz.
USB input supports asynchronous transmission up to 24 bit /
The USB input supports asynchronous transmission up to 24 bit / 192kHz using
the ESOTERIC's original driver software for PC or MAC. Additionally, a USB
isolator, which prevents noise from entering from external sources such as PC or
MAC, allows high quality reproduction of studio master quality sources.
VCXO high-precision clockVCXO high-precision clock
A high-precision VCXO (voltage controlled crystal oscillator) of +/- 3 ppm
(*) is used for the internal clock circuit. A dedicated power supply circuit
improves the stability of the clock. The high precision audio clock signal,
generated by the VCXO, is directly delivered to the dual mono D/A converter.
This enables higher quality reproduction, substantially reducing jitter.*
Factory setting
Clock sync function suppors 10 MHz to synchronize with an external
deviceClock sync function suppors 10 MHz to synchronize with an
external device This function allows upgrading to a higher quality sound
system by connecting the unit to a high precision master clock generator when
playing back Super Audio CD/CD. A 10 MHz clock is supported in addition to WORD
clock (44.1kHz to 176.4kHz). When the unit is in D/A converter mode,
asynchronous USB connection supports clock sync function.
Supports "Direct Master Clock LinK" with an external clock
"Direct Master Clock Link" is our new technology originally developed for the
P-02/D-02 combo for more precise, direct clocking. With this technology, the D/A
converter simply uses ultra high precision "master clock (22.5792MHz)" supplied
from external master clock, without a need to "sync" its operation to the
master. This system enables shorter-path clocking by bypassing internal PLL
circuit, and delivers more precise, focused imaging.
Excellent usability
- 32-bit precision digital attenuator function- User selectable output
level adjustment of the XLR audio output (0 dB/?6 dB)- XLR pin assignment
can be changed to match external devices (Pin 2 Hot or Pin 3 Hot)
Beautiful rounded form
The K-05 inherits its appearance from the design of ESOTERIC's flagship line
of separate digital players, with the front/side/top panels made of thick
aluminum and a rounded form with no screws on the top panel and corners. This
beautiful design is sure to give the product a feel of elegance and enhances the
pleasure of ownership.

A new poll reveals that around 1.6 million people aged between 20 and 40 are living with their parents because they cannot afford to rent or buy a home.
An investigation carried out by Shelter has found complaints about landlords to local councils have increased by 27 per cent in the last three years.
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls has called for a significant investment in new, affordable homes and a stamp duty holiday for first-time buyers.
The housing and homelessness charity Shelter has called for a new kind of tenancy to be introduced across the rental market in England.
Figures revealed in a YouGov survey show one in five 31-44 year olds delay starting a family due to a lack of affordable housing.
Families in the UK are among the worst off in Europe when it comes to housing costs according to findings published by the European Union.
The housing and homelessness charity Shelter has condemned Government proposals to remove housing benefit for under 25s.
Government figures show a 16 per cent increase in homelessness acceptances between January and March 2012, compared to the same quarter in 2011.
Figures released yesterday (May 10) by the Council of Mortgage Lenders reveal the rate of repossessions in the UK remains high, four years after the recession began.

HtDP is clearly on the educational side of the spectrum that you're worried about. So you should praise Grant for trying to add education where universities and colleges have needlessly and pointlessly put training first, a common phenomenon in both the US and Germany in this day and age. As Mike Sperber once told me: > Wir sind froh, dass die Absolventen schon Java können. > Programmieren müssen wir denen halt noch beibringen. > I am sure your Dutch-German is good enough to translate this concise re-statement of my message. (I recently ran across a statement by the chairman of CS at UI @ Chicago Circle that expressed disbelieve that someone would expect education from a state university, which -- in his opinion -- had to serve the economic interests of the state of Illinois. It is not surprising then that companies spent on education of their employees because universities and colleges fail.)

Calls for Costello to resign over costings
Page Tools
The economic credibility of Peter Costello had been shattered and he should resign, Opposition Leader Mark Latham said today.
Mr Latham said treasury costings of Labor's tax policy showed the ALP was actually $500 million better off for the budget than expected.
Mr Costello, who had staked his economic credibility on the issue, had claimed there was a $700 million black hole in Labor's tax policy.
Mr Latham said it was clear Mr Costello was wrong and he should step down.
"Mr Costello has got it wrong, wrong, wrong," he told ABC Radio.
"His credibility has been shattered. Mr Costello has egg all over his face, his economic credibility is in tatters.
"In normal circumstances he would resign because of this, but obviously we hope that that people will vote him out tomorrow.
"Our sums add up, Peter Costello and Mr Howard's sums don't add up. This is another false claim, a dishonest claim."
Mr Latham rejected suggestions that Labor's plans for more reform of industrial relations would push up the unemployment rate which yesterday fell to 5.6 per cent.
He said Labor's plans to abolish Australian Workplace Agreements would end the dog-eat-dog industrial relations system.
"Their abolition is an act of fairness," he said.
Mr Latham said 800,000 children were still living in homes where no parent worked, while 350,000 people were still long-term unemployed, with the coalition offering nothing to help them back into the workforce.
But Mr Costello today stood by his claim Labor had a $2.7 billion hole in its tax and family package.
He said Labor's $11.2 billion tax and family policy revealed a raft of errors. But Labor failed to submit it to Treasury in time for it be be properly scrutinised.
Mr Costello said as a result voters would go to the polls tomorrow without all the facts.
"We say that the hole is over $2 billion," he told the Seven Network.
"We say that when you fully cost this policy, and you haven't got a full costing because the Labor Party didn't put it in on time, that it doesn't add up.
"When you have the whole of the policy, it just doesn't add up."
Opposition treasury spokesman Simon Crean said Labor was not avoiding scrutiny.
"We were never frightened of independent scrutiny - that is why we went ... and got our proposals tested," Mr Crean told the Seven Network.
He said the Charter of Budget Honesty timetable was always going to be tight.
"For the Treasurer to go on like this is just ridiculous - his own government ... only put five of their proposals in last Monday too," Mr Crean said.
"Why? Because the initiatives hadn't been announced.
"This is just a furphy. They started the campaign on a lie, they still ended on a lie and the Treasury exposed the truth."

RHP Javier Avendano named Pitcher of the Week08/13/2012 3:51 PM ET
By KP Wee & Rob Fai / Vancouver Canadians
(Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium - Vancouver, B.C.) - Vancouver Canadians RHP Javier Avendano was named the Northwest League Pitcher of the Week for games played August 6-12.
During that stretch, Avendano made a pair of starts and was outstanding as he went 11 innings, scattering just five hits while striking out 15 hitters to help drop his ERA to 1.64 on the summer, which is tops in the NWL.
Avendano (5-1, 1.55) began the week with a six-inning effort on August 6th at Gesa Stadium at Pasco, WA, giving up only four hits with 10 strikeouts to lead the Canadians to a 5-1 victory over the Tri-City Dust Devils.
Five nights later, the right-hander had a no-decision but gave up just one hit over five innings in another outstanding performance against the Yakima Bears.
This is the second time that Avendano has won Northwest League Pitcher of the Week honours this season. The right-hander also earned the award on June 25th.
