DACs under £350, combination headphone amps and CA DacMagic Plus upsampling
Hi guys,
I'm considering a variety of DACs for my first decent seperates system with a budget of up to £800.
I'll probably be pairing one of them with my Sony laptop (USB only), CA Azur 351A or Marantz PM6004 or Rotel RA-10 amps, and Monitor Audio BX2s.
Three questions:
1) What are people's opinions on the DacMagic Plus' supposed ability to 'upsample' computer audio? This is particularly of interest to me, since the majority of my source files are bog-standard 16/44.1 320kbps MP3 files, played in iTunes.
2) Would the DacMagic Plus perform well as a headphone amp? I'll probably be looking at buying some HD 650s or similar in the next couple of years. Additionally, is it a benefit that it can also act as a preamp?
3) Most importantly, would £350 be too much to spend on a DAC, given the rest of my (proposed) set up?
DACs I've considered so far:
- DacMagic 100/Plus
- Musical Fidelity v-DAC II
- Arcam rDAC
- HRT Music Streamer II
- Arcam rPAC
Many thanks in advice, Matthew
1) What are people's opinions on the DacMagic Plus' supposed ability to 'upsample' computer audio? This is particularly of interest to me, since the majority of my source files are bog-standard 16/44.1 320kbps MP3 files, played in iTunes.
There is no evidence that upsamling produces audiably better sound. Blind testing has found people cannot tell the difference between 16/44.1 and higher.
There is a big market for combined headphone amp/DACs/preamps. Different makers will emphasise different parts and all I can say is read reviews and audition as much as you can, then buy the features you really need.
No, but it should really be the limit and if you do spend that much get all three features and use them!
The impression that I get from reviews is that the DM+ is a decent DAC and an average head amp, similar to the Yulong D100 mkII, which I have, and that seemed to review a bit better than the DM+. Since you mention the headphone amp and only needing USB I think I would go for the rPAC, which is a great portable and amazing value sound quality IMO. Then get something like the Graham Slee Ultra Linear headphone amp if you're serious about headphone listening. Like ID says though, try to read as much as you can, try to demo if you can, and ignore upsampling.
If you really wanted an all-in-one or other digital inputs then I would recommend a different type of combo, but in my experience something small like the rPAC or V-DAC II are capable enough as DACs. For headphone listening it's the head amp that will give you the biggest benefits for that cash.
As for the HD650, keep your mind open on that one, a lof of great stuff has come out lately! The HD650 is a classic, but it doesn't suit everyone.
Thanks all three of you.
@Big Chris, quadpatch: I'll certainly consider the Fubar and the Yulong.
The choice at this price point is slightly bewildering, and it seems hard to find reviews which equally address the Hi-Fi AND Head-Fi uses of the combination DAC/HAs. Frustrating, but I may be limited more by what I can demo than anything else... Oh well.
If you are relying on which ones you can try in shops you'll be limited to things like Cambridge Audio, Arcam, Musical Fidelity and maybe a couple othes. If you want to open youself up to more then read a lot and ultimately have a bit of faith... Check out this list I made for USB DACs here:
All of these have headphone amps built in too so have a good think about whether that's what you want first. I still highly recommend the Yulong D100 mkII and it can be got inside europe from this place:
Thus avoiding any pesky customs/VAT and providing an easier place to return to should anything go wrong. I've never had any problems with mine though.
Thanks again quadpatch, that's really useful. You've put some serious time into that table, damn...
Since I've only heard the DM+ and V-Dac II, I'll go and demo the rDAC, rPAC and maybe the Teac UD-H01 in Leeds. Beyond that, as you say, I'm on faith.
I'm probably leaning away from the integrated DAC/HA idea though - feel like I'm making things unnecessarily difficult for myself, especially since I don't have appropriate headphones yet!
In other news, the HRT MSII/MSII+ are looking interesting at the moment, especially since they can be got for about £110 and £220 from the US...
FWIW (and remember it was just my ears) I bought the DM+ when it was launched as I was impressed with the original DM. I have auditioned since then: a NAD C390DD, a Chord QuteHD, Audiolab M-DAC. I still have the DM+ and have give up demoing DACs (until Roksan launch one).
Thanks Steve, that's promising if I am seduced by the DM+. It's a shame I can't demo it alongside other competitors like those from Arcam!
Something I'm becoming increasingly aware of - especially considering the tendency to want to spend more and more...
Given my source files are mostly AAC/MP3 at 16/44.1 320kbps, played via iTunes, are more expensive DACs (i.e. beyond around the £200 price point) going to be poor value in my system?
You should be able to buy a competent enough DAC for £200. What you get by spending more (depending on what you buy of course) is additional features such as headphone amp, preamp, remote controll, balanced outputs, etc.
I have the DM+ and before that a UA-25 and a Saffire Pro 24. The Saffire had arguably the best amp stage, though you'd be hard pressed to tell them all apart. I never used the headphone out.
There are some pro audio DAC that are very capable at that price point.
The UA-25EX is USB powered, the Saffire was Firewire powered, but there is a Saffire 6 USB model.
I own both a beresford tc-7520 (gator'd) headphone/dac and the rpac. The rpac is very detailed and smooth but a bit bass light for my tastes (maybe it would be suited to different headphones). The beresford really rocks my cans in the bass department with no listening fatigue no matter how long i listen.
Unfortunately my model is discontinued and the new model (tc-7530) doesnt have usb - so if you wanted a punt on the same model as me youd probably have get one off a well known auction site.
I have tried the rpac rca-out on my hifi and its a similar sound, forward vocals and not enough bass for my tastes. I bought the rpac blind (not something i normally do) because its a small, lightweight hifi solution for when im travelling with my laptop with no access to a plug socket. If the rpacs small dimensions and usb power are not a factor then i recommend looking at something else, especially if your a bass head.
My headphones are akg 450's which i appreciate arent hi end by any stretch but can still kick out the bass. Hope this helps
What distinguishes pro audio DACs?
I think the rPAC will definitely be on my demo list for superfi, although it is worth considering that the headphone amp capabilities aren't essential (changed my tune, I know) and I dont' really need USB power input.
I'm not a huge basshead, but I listen to fair amount of dance (contradiction in terms?).
What distinguishes pro audio DACs?
The rPAC sounds to be definitely worth trying, although I don't really need the USB power or headphone amp capabilities (I know, changed my tune). I'm not a massive basshead, alhough I do listen to a fair amount of dance.
Generally they offer more functions than hifi DACs. An audio interface will usually be able to capture audio as well as its use as a DAC. They also tend to have premp functions in addition to headphone outputs. Software is also supplied for various audio recording and manipulation tasks if needed.
Looks wise they might be a bit industrial for some, or in other words aesthically challenged.
The UA-25EX above is a nice little unit that performs very well.
BTW, the latst Beresford DAC (mentioned in post above) is called the Bushmaster.

>>>I have read the threads and see no direct insult of you spurring you to action in like kind... as for a lack of respect accorded to you by others, you have been far too guilty of that against me in the past that to claim such is confusing.<<<
Now that is flat out bullshit!!!! I've never said anything of the sort to you on this board...now I may have on some other forum which you use a different name, but that does not count here, I am vewry respectable toward others on this forum and always have been unless I have been given reason not to be, but I know damn well that I have not said the first thing negative to you on this board...unless you attacked me first, but I do not recall anything...
I would really like to see these threads where I supposedly called you ignorant, or attacked you in any way, so how about providing these supposed posts of mine!!!!
>>>There is absolutely no malice intended.<<<
No malice intended...well it would seem to me that making up crap that I never did, well that seems to be pretty malicious...now I would really...REALLY like to see the supposed threads where I talked down to you and when you cannot provide them then I would like an apology!!!
Now it's crap like this that pisses me off...making up, well...making up flat out lies. Now if I am wrong and you can show me where I have called you such, or started bullshit with you then I will apologize, but I doubt very seriously that you can.
>>>I am actually taking what you wrote and asking you about the very phrases you use.<<<
Again...this is a load of bullshit as well. Exactly what phrases are you speaking of? I was talking about the topic and then all of a sudden you go off on some rant that has nothing to do with the topic. Why don't you show me these phrases that you seem to be talking about!!!

Pros – The benefits and PTO were the biggest asset of working for this company. The health insurance was very generous.
Cons – The Stock holders were the decision makers so if the company was not moving in the right direction, the stock holders decide the fate of the business.
Advice to Senior Management – Be honest with the employees and if there is trouble ahead, ensure that they are well aware so they can make the appropriate arrangements.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Craig Boddington Suffers Heart Attack
Not sure if you guys have heard but Craig Boddington suffered a heart attach while on his safari in Uganda. From what I have heard the doctors in Africa didn't believe it to be, but being the smart guy he is, decided to cut the trip short and went home, from what I heard he is resting well and will be leaving the ICU very soon.Brian

No sure did not hear that! I hope he recovers, it doesnt sound like a real bad one though. Craig Boddington is not that old either, born in 1952, a year ahead of me! I wish him well, he is a good guy.

Boddington's Heart Attack
Here is some news from Petersen's.
Boddington's Heart Attack
A good man down, but not out. Many goats around the world breathed a sigh of relief this morning when the first news of Boddington's heart attack hit. But as his cameraman, I'm here to say, "Sorry, suckers we'll be chasing you around the mountains again before you know it. Sleep with one eye open."
I just got off the phone with Mr. and Mrs. Boddington (9:15 AM PST). He and Donna said I could share his current status with all of you. He is in bed, in the hospital but sounded strong and was joking on the phone. He did drop on the side of a mountain, but said he knew he had to survive because he had a copy of my book in his computer bag and couldn't die until I autographed it. So, essentially, I saved his life. You're welcome. Now that I've spoken with Boddington and he sounds like a champ the jokes are back on.
Here is the most recent facebook update from his wife, Donna: "good morning and thank you once again for all of your prayers and well wishes. I'm here with Craig @ the hospital and he is doing remarkably well... eating reading. ready to leave....but they won't let him leave yet! and I think that's a good thing...he needs to stay put for a while....still in ICU but I think they may move him out of ICU today if he keeps up the good work... he's actually being pretty good patient.."
So here's to Boddington and his immediate future of jello, strained pees and no butter! Get well soon and we'll be eating fondue on a mountain in France again soon. Wait, it just occurred to me, we CAN blame this on the French, that fondue may have been the last straw.
I don't take much seriously, but when a good person goes down for the count due to health, I'll quit joking for the day. I received a text from Craig's wife, Donna early this morning indicating he'd had a heart attack. I'm not breaking this news, it's up on his Facebook page.
This is a quote from Craig's Facebook page from about 10:00 PM last night give or take based on US time zones: "Bill Jones and me With a great Nile Buffalo taken on 3/19/11 just to quell the rumors an hour before this photo was taken I had a serious heart attack I rallied for the photos, we went to town, the Uganda clinic misdiagnosed the problem but I was smart enough to start home early anyway, that was the worst trip I've ever had but I'm in a good hospital with good care although it may take some time I will be fine!"
I don't want to talk out of turn here, so I'm going to suggest you get your updates from him and his wife via his Facebook page. I just wanted to make sure his friends and fans have the opportunity to keep up with his recovery progress.
I was just notified that Craig's Facebook page isn't fully public which means you need to be his friend to read the updates. Since, Donna is seriously busy right now and dealing with friend requests isn't way up on her list of things to do, I will copy and paste her updates here for you:
Most recent: "So Craig is not actually writing this I am (Donna).... Thank you all for your well wishes. He did tell me what to write though on the last status. He is in ICU and they are taking great care of him @ one of the country's top Cardiac Care Hospitals. He is tough and strong and a (marine)... he will recover fast because that's who he is and how he does things... you can't keep a good man down!"
Mainly I wrote this blog for selfish reasons, I want all of you to pray for this son of a gun, so he heals up quickly and I can work with him again soon. Why? Because I love this guy and his family. They are good people and my family is praying for them today.Brian

Thanks. Read the story, sounds like he will be OK but it was serious, like any heart attack I guess. Met Craig a couple of times and he is always friendly even as busy as he is.

Best wishes to a fast recovery to my outdoor adventuring hero! I've met and chatted with Craig a few times at the DSC shows and have found him to be great guy who always made the time for a story or two. I hope he heals up quickly and gets back to his adventuring old self.

Get Well Soon
I read the story on another site and I know that all hunters wish him well as he is way to young to go, besides, who else would be able to take us on those adventures he does so well.
Best Wishes to Craig and Donna for a speedy recovery.

Dear Craig,
I hope you will either read this or one of your family will read this to you. Best wishes for a quick and full recovery. I had the opportunity to meet you for the first time at the SCI Convention this year and it was my distinct pleasure. I spoke to you today about a friend of mine named Jim who shared a hunting camp with you in Mexico a number of years ago with Kirk Kelso. Jim extends his best wishes to you too.
I fully expect to meet you again at the 2012 SCI Convention in Las Vegas. Until then as you signed in my copy of "Tracks", wishing you clear tracks to a full recovery!

Its heartening to see the type of comments coming from this event. Many of us have met Craig and even if we havent we all know him as we have been reading his work for many years. I know when planning my first trip in 1984 his articles were read over and over again in preparation for my trip. I have most of his books and enjoy watching "Tracks" whenever possible. I have only met him twice but both times were very positive and as I said already I wish him a full and speedy recovery and hope to hear soon that he is well again. Get well soon Craig!

Craig always seems to be in such great physical shape, I guess this sort of things can happen to anyone at any moment! I'm glad he's doing well, and wish him a complete and speedy recovery.

Dear Craig
Hope you get all these messages and that you will get well soon, We shared the same campfire in Africa and exchange stories until late at night, it feels like yesterday you took that monster Eland from the Koppie what a hunt we had . All the best and hope you recover fully.

I hope Craig has a speedy recovery and without future complications. It just goes to show that no matter how well you maintain your health that these things can happen to anyone. Best wishes to Craig and his family, you're by far my favorite author and I need someone to live vicariously through with all your adventures.

Jim Boyd here from Mesa Arizona. I first met you in Mexico hunting Coues deer with Kirk and you wrote an article about my accura-shot unit for Guns and Ammo. I want to wish you the best for a full and speedy recovery. You are a hero to us all in more ways than one! I know that you will be back out there hunting, shooting and writing for us very soon.

Here is an update from Craig Boddington...
Hi, all! I was released from the hospital yesterday. Feeling better by the day, but this is going to take a while...I don't recommend this safari for anyone!

Parkway Musings
Millie and I (see above) just returned from a walk on Menomonee River Parkway. I do my best blog-thinking on these walks and today was an outstanding day for such a venture. Here are just a few of the gems that popped into my head as we walked:
Swan Sign - Premium Parking Causes Concern
I'm not looking for trouble or trying to stir up emotions. In fact, I'm unsure how I feel about it. This is the sign on the west side of Swan Pharmacy at 92nd and North. It seems obvious that it's in response to the opening of the stores across the street at the new Locker's Pointe. And although I have applauded the developers of that new project, I can understand how it might bother existing stores to have their parking spaces used by customers visiting another establishment.
Time Warner is Making Me Fat
OK, truth be told, it's not really their fault. If I could quit finding excuses to risk my life eating microwave popcorn, I'd probably spare a few pounds. But they're not helping.
We are what could be called the poster family for Time Warner. We have it all, or as they call it: All the Best. TV-Phone-Internet. We are wired and wireless. And because our addiction to television could be termed chronic, we have HD and DVRs, thereby completing our cable alphabet soup.
Things That Millie is Wondering
Millie (see above) and I took a walk on this splendid, picture-perfect, day. She had a lot on her mind. Here are some things that she was wondering:
No thanks, just browsing
I suppose that I could blame Al Gore. After all, he once claimed to have invented it. The internet, that is. Or, as I sometimes refer to it: the soul-sucking, mega-time-wasting resource that I simply cannot avoid. Yes, it's true. Hi, my name is Karen and I'm addicted to the internet.
First of all, it's obvious. I blog, therefore I am…addicted, that is. In fact, I can hardly remember the world before the internet. (Yes, boys and girls, there was a time when we actually went to the library and did research in books and periodicals when we had to write a paper. Ooooooooooh.)

i am new to Adobe SDK development but not to C++. nothing is ever easy but getting the adobe examples to complie is bordering on the impossible. i need some help.
SDK CS5.5 example project opens in visual studio 2008 pro (on win7, 64bit) but won't compile or build. no matter which example project i try the output window just shows "Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 1 skipped". when i choose to see the project properties i get a dialogue saying "the operation could not be completed". any ideas?
hi morishuz_!
welcome to the forum.
most problems of such sort usually have to do with the path the SDK is located at.
it should be located at something like c:/program files/after effects 5.5 sdk.
i don't remember exactly. (i jumped through hoops to locate it somewhere else)
older versions of the SDK had an installer that put them in the right path.
here are a few threads that dealt with such issues:
thanks for the info!
unfortunately unless i have the exact path it's not really worthy trying to move the folder. although i somehow doubt this is the cause of my problem. i don't get any error messages - unlike the issues highlighted in the previous threads you posted, which mostly seem to be about x64 bit issues with 2008 express (i am using 2008 pro).
what i am trying to understand:
is the expected behaviour that i download this, unzip it, load the example solution in visual studio 2008 pro and press rebuild and the whole thing will just work? (that was certainly my expectation) or is there an extra step that i am missing (apart from perhaps moving it to some yet unknow and undocumented location)?
search the forum some more for related problems.
you'll see that the path of the SDK has been the center of many problems on both mac and pc.
if i recall correctly, the CS5 SDK was the first to ship without an installer,
and all the problems with the initial setup with the CS5 SDK came from first-time users, who didn't have older versions installed.
the installer also set up some environment variables who's absence can cause some problems.
so it's highly recommended that you try to find an older SDK and find that path.
do other projects compile correctly on your system?
try downloading some simple app project from a different source and see if it compiles correctly.
what path do you have your skd in?
i'm not a good example.
i have it on a separate drive shared between a pc and a mac.
it took a lot of tinkering to get it to work.
if i'll have the time, i'll try to install an older version on my pc and see the default path.
ok, i understand. i appreciate it, i should be able to do that myself.
it's just unbelievable that to get the current skd working one has to find the path by installing a previous one because it's not documented anywhere. if the rest of the skd is as clear as the installation procedure i am inclined to give up now...
Hi Morishuz,
When you installed Visual Studio, did you install the 64-bit compiler? I believe only the 32-bit compiler is installed by default.

The most-talked-about series, other than "Breaking Bad," this summer include "Under the Dome," "Broadchurch" and "The Bridge." They're all new this week as TV marks Washington history and ushers in college football season.
The highlights:
***Cable news will give extensive coverage Wednesday to President Barack Obama's comments on the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. PBS explains how great planning went into the landmark event in the documentary "The March," which debuts at 9 p.m. Tuesday. It's fascinating to see how celebrities across the spectrum -- Charlton Heston, Paul Newman, Bob Dylan -- came together for the event in 1963.
***CBS "Under the Dome," a ratings winner this summer, explores how mysterious Maxine (Natalie Zea of "Justified") will try to control the cut-off town. CBS also teases that "Julia uncovers the truth about her husband's disappearance and unravels some of Chester's Mill's darkest secrets." The episode airs at 10 p.m. Monday.
***Monday is season finale night on A&E. "The Glades," the filmed-in-Florida drama, goes first at 9 p.m., and "Longmire" follows at 10.
***Two of the summers best are slotted at 10 p.m. Wednesday. BBC America delivers the next installment of "Broadchurch," a gripping miniseries about a murder investigation. David Tenant and Olivia Colman are exceptional as the detectives. FX's "The Bridge" seems to have solved a serial-killer mystery last week, but the storytelling takes another twist. Diane Kruger gives a striking performance as a detective with Asperger's.
***USA's "Royal Pains" loads up on guest stars at 9 p.m. Wednesday. Jenna Elfman, Henry Winkler and Brad Beyer ("Jericho") all take part, although Beyer's character is in a coma.
***TNT's "Rizzoli & Isles" is the No. 1 basic-cable drama this summer. The next episode, at 9 p.m. Tuesday, explores deadly drag racing and possible drug trafficking. The summer finale of "Perception" follows at 10 p.m. Tuesday on TNT, and Scott Wolf guest stars.
***In reality television, "So You Think You Can Dance" presents the six finalists at 8 p.m. Tuesday on Fox. Jesse Tyler Ferguson of "Modern Family" will be a guest judge.
***Twelve semifinalists perform on "America's Got Talent" at 9 p.m. Tuesday on NBC. The results will be announced at 9 p.m. Wednesday. On that latter show, One Direction will perform "Best Song Ever," and "Voice" winner Cassadee Pope also will perform.
***Idoko Abuh of Valencia College will perform on "American Ninja Warriror" at 8 p.m. Monday on NBC.
***Look for the tension to intensify on "Big Brother," which offers episodes at 8 p.m. Sunday, 8 p.m. Wednesday and 9 p.m. Thursday on CBS. The next eviction comes Thursday.

Real property sales, state law affect 1999 county valuations by David Lias One point that Clay County Assessor Leonard Rasmussen hopes to drive home to real property owners is a lesson, of sorts, on how to compare property tax rates from one year to the next.
He knows it's easy to get confused. Property owners traditionally receive two documents from the county early each year: an assessment notice, and a tax statement.
Confusion arises when they notice that the figures on the two documents aren't the same.
"A lot of people are comparing their assessment notices with their tax statements, and those are two different figures," Rasmussen said.
If taxpayers want to get an accurate idea of whether there have been changes in their properties' valuations, they should compare assessment notices from one year to the next, and not compare assessment notices with tax statements.
"The figures that we (Clay County) are sending out to property owners will be adjusted back to 85 percent as far as the taxable value," he added. "What taxpayers are comparing now are last year's figures that were adjusted to that taxable value, so if they would find out what their 1998 assessment value was versus their 1999 assessment value, then they could tell exactly what pretty much happened."
Government sets tax rates
Another misconception that many taxpayers cling to, Rasmussen said, is that his office determines property tax amounts each year.
"Every time you see valuations go up, you always think your taxes are going to go up, and in most cases they do," he said. "But as far as this office is concerned, it has no control whatsoever over taxes. The taxes are based on whatever levies are needed by the government entities, such as schools, counties, cities and townships."
One of the most important roles that the assessor's office accomplishes each year is establishing the market value of the various classes of real property in the county.
"What the people have to ask themselves is, is their property worth this (its assessed value) come time for selling," Rasmussen said. "If you feel your property's market value is listed too low, we want to hear from you, and if it's too high, we also want to hear from you."
Taxes, assessments differ
The state requires property to be assessed at its full market value, with the goal of property being taxed at 85 percent of its full value. Later this year, the state revenue department will send Rasmussen and assessors in other counties the information they need to make the proper calculations to roll back taxes to the 85 percent level for property taxes payable in the year 2000.
"The tax notice is 85 percent. That factor is given to us by the department of revenue, and is established after all boards (of local government) have met," he said. "And just to be clear, the notices that property owners recently received were their assessment notices."
Property owners usually receive their tax statements in January or February, informing them the amount of taxes they must pay before an April deadline to avoid penalty.
Assessment notices, Rasmussen said, are usually sent out the first part of this month.
"The assessments that we're sending out right now are 1999 assessment values payable in the year 2000," Rasmussen said.
Increases required by state Rasmussen has already informed the Clay County Commission that he must raise valuations on ag property 9 percent, and boost valuations of homes and the lots they are sitting on by 6 percent to meet requirements of state law. One thing this will accomplish, he said, is to better equalize the taxation of non-ag and ag property.
To calculate the needed changes in property valuations, Rasmussen's office reviewed the prices of property sales in the county, and identified the low, high and median prices.
"This establishes our level of assessment. We do see some properties that are close to 100 percent (of full and true value) but yet we still have some that are below it. The factor that they (the state revenue department) gives to us then, is based on the median, the middle factor, and this is to bring the property up to the market value," he said.
Clay County is currently experiencing a sellers' market, as far as non-ag property is concerned.
"We work with sales to justify our calculations, and things are not selling," he said. "If we had a lot of homes on the market to choose from, then it kind of gives us a picture of what they're actually worth, but when there are very few homes on the market, it tends to be a seller's market, and that kind of drives the prices up, too."
Ag land more challenging
The assessment process for agricultural land is more challenging, Rasmussen said. Often ag property's assessments are based on how much a buyer was willing to pay for it, and sometimes, they may pay more than the property is worth.
An additional consideration, he said, is the current general economic status of agriculture.
"Farming is getting real tough now because of the way the prices are for crops and livestock," Rasmussen said. "So until things sell, we're working on establishing what the market value is."
He urges assistance from county farmers to fairly assess agricultural property.
"If nothing is sold in this county, who says we're wrong? When things do happen to sell, give us an idea of where we're at as far as assessment versus to where the market is, and this is what we're trying to strive for," Rasmussen said.

Hi everybody! A room is available in a shared house in Westlands from the 1st of April.
The room is nice, on the 2nd floor, with a private bathroom and a balcony with flowers. It is also furnished (shelves, table, chair, mattress). The rent is 32 000 KSH (including internet, cleaning of the house, laundry, guard, hot water etc.)
It's a big friendly house in a lovely and quite compound with a garden and various families and children playing and cycling around. The house is between ABC Plaza and Westlands Gate (for shopping). Public transport is also close, and it is easy to reach the city. There is also a public swimming pool where you can relax and chill out during the weekend, a 5 minute walk from home. We also have a big sitting room and big kitchen, with a terrace to do barbecue.
At the moment, we are 5 people in the house between 20 and 30 years old and from different countries (USA, Germany, Switzerland, UK). Some are journalists, some work with refugees and others do internships for NGOs or Kenyan Institutions. There is a great atmosphere in the house, we like to have dinner together, go out in the Westlands bars during the weekend, go to Toi Market and do some expeditions out of the city. We respect the private sphere as well :)

Here's how RW members rated this race (460 votes).
In short: Best race of the year!In full: 2nd time for me, and yet again Dr Robert has organised an excellent event. This is a very hard "race", but it is well worth the painI am feeling in my legs today, and the many weeks of training I put in running up and down hills. 57th this time round, and I will be gunning for a top 40 finish in 2012.Thanks to all the marshals for looking after us, and the encouragement. Date of review: June 20, 2011
In short: Mental! Absolutely loved it!!Date of review: June 19, 2011
In short: Amazing experience, well worth the pain!In full: My 10 half marathon and a fantastic one to hit the milestone. Atmosphere was great with all runners supporting each other on the way round. Worth the slightly higher entry with the food at the end along with the mug, t-shirt (proper running t-shirt) and brilliant medal. A must do race for long distance runners!Date of review: June 19, 2011
In short: OuchIn full: You may be able to run up that first hill then after that each slope slowly destroys your legs. You may be quick on the descents but that only because you lack the energy to slow yourself down. A superb race with the best marshalling I have come across. Names on the race numbers is a simple idea but it makes a huge difference when a marshall uses your name and then offers up a jelly baby. It was humbling to see the "picnic" runners slog out the distance twice. Other noteable highlights, huge medal, high quality of cake, the piper, magic mug, Dr Rob leading the field in the national anthem and stunning vista from Box Hill. Date of review: June 19, 2011
In short: Up down up down up down up down up down CAKE!In full: If I thought last year was a humbling experience this year's munro was a wipeout, tacking some 8 minutes onto last years seriously unimpressive time! The combination of treacherous, slippery downhills and agonising uphill scrambles left my legs feeling like chopped raw beef and my heart rate spinning off into high orbit. Hamburger Hill is my new affectionate name for this insane race! But guess what, the morning after, aching quads and glutes aside, the bad memories and 'definitely, absolutely never again' emotions are fading and I am left with pleasant memories of unexpected warm sunshine, stunning scenery, smiling and encouraging marshalls, belting along wide woodland paths and grassy meadows to the strain of the redoubtable piper, snatched humerous conversations, the complete nutter who, eschewing the stepping stones, plunged into the river up to his waist and forged across (the rest of just got soaking wet feet!) and the best post race pressie ever, a mug that changes colour to show the MM logo when you add hot water! Impressed the kids more than the medal, that did!Thanks to Dr Rob, all his helpers and the excellent marshalls. Bugger, I think I'm going to have to do it just one more time......Date of review: June 19, 2011
In short: fantastic race,fantastic marshalls and fantasic dr robIn full: third time i have run this race,gets harder every year but more enjoyable.marshalls are superb as usual and Dr Robs organisation is spot on.looking forward to next year.Date of review: June 19, 2011
In short: My 3 rd Munro , a very hard run, hence billed at the toughest half in England, but when you finnish , it is an amazing feeling. Every time i get to all the steps, i say never again. But when i finnish, i think bring it on next year. Date of review: June 19, 2011
In short: One of those mucky midwinter races in the middle of the summer - a cracker, certainly living up to it's Toughest UK Half Marathon titleDate of review: June 19, 2011
In full: It was a fabulous afternoon. I nearly deffed it because of the rain, then lo and behold I won the women's race!! So - it is personal best material as I've never won a race. Being a local girl, I love these hills, but it was rock hard to complete and my legs screamed as I hoisted them back up the stepping stones steps after careering down! How do the picnikers do it? Huge respect! I tries to get a song in my head to help me with the pace, but Adele really wasn't welcome as she popped in there!!!! Thank you Dr Rob and all the fabulous helpers. It was a brilliant awe inspiringly painful experience. Maybe I should quit whilst I'm ahead! Date of review: June 19, 2011
In short: Take the hardest half add a sprinkle of rain and a head wind, awesome!In full: Toughest conditions I've seen, so wrong its right. More mud, more slippy, stepping stones under water and a strong headwind on the only flat part of the course… Fantastic atmosphere, great organisation and even more marshals.Dr Rob take a bowDate of review: June 19, 2011

Of the 48 cases of meningococcal meningitis in Bahia registered by the State Department of Health (Sesab), the first 6 months of this year [2013], 31.25% resulted in deaths. The student RAB, 28, was the 15th victim of the disease, considered the most serious type of meningitis. Resident Pirajá, R. died on the 28th [June/2013] in Suburban Hospital. The number of deaths in the state, however, decreased by 16%. The same period in 2012, 18 people have died from this type of meningitis. In Salvador, this year [2013], 22 cases were computed, with 8 deaths versus 11 deaths in 2012. For the coordinator of the Technical Group (TG) Meningitis, Elisa Maria de Oliveira, the number of deaths is still considered high. "The mortality rate is high. People still slow to seek medical attention. She (the student) had symptoms on day 20 [June/2013]. Has only been to the hospital on the 26th [June/2013].'s A disease that requires care because it is contagious, "said Maria Elisa.

Kids: Homemade corndogs!
Kids: Homemade corndogs!
I totally have the Venus of Willendorf shape down. Only I have a bit more belly and slightly less bum.
There, now you all know what I look like in my birthday suit.
In general, I am unhappy with my shape/weight mainly because I don't feel as healthy as I used to when I was a smaller size. (was never a size below a 12 and was fine being a 14/16). I have lost a few pounds here and there but in general my goal is not to gain.
Yesterday was my bday. (33- a nice round number). It was good; we watched Glee, I went for a run, read my book, and my mom and sister, bil and kiddos all came over for dinner, which my mom cooked One friend even thought to send my bday announcement into a local radio, and I won a cake and photography gc.
Every time I resolve to eat better/exercise more, I end up gaining weight. I have to remember that I must trick myself. I can't let myself think that I'm trying to lose weight. Otherwise, I sabotage myself.
Things are moving... I feel less shaken.
Situation is not resolved but we are taking steps to make things better and this is a relief.
I'm sorry I've been so focused on my little self lately... I'll try to be better at participating at this discussion from now.
We got food today. My dinner: Lobster, three pounds of snow crab legs, salad, and virgin bloody mary
hey i am making lobster and crab rolls for dinner and the little boys (who think it looks nasty) are having hotdogs! lol great minds!!
ok, now I want a corn dog. On a stick. I haven'y had one in years....
curse you!
goodness nausea is so bad today. and i am so weepy. i hate that.
we decided to fly back to AZ and have the van and car shipped. i am worried about the cat, i am not sure how we are going to get her on a plane. there is so much to do, it seems so overwhelming especially when some days i am completely useless.
i feel like the nausea is getting worse and worse every couple of weeks. also i am getting a lovely "mask of pregnancy" right over my upper lip so it looks like i have a skin 'stashe. i am not a makeup wearer, but i need it now. UGH! AND i keep having dreams i am having twins!
ok done with the complaining.
i should eat something. i might make a key lime pie too, since i have a bag of key limes (not sure why)
I'm sorry, what????
Google it's awesomeness. Kurt is my favorite, until someone else comes on, and then they are my favorite again.
Also, family who are downsizing gave us great-grandma's old dining set out of the blue. We don't have a dining room. We needed a new kitchen table badly, so the table will go in our kitchen.
Maybe I'll put in all my tea herbs and candles boxes of crystals and this 'n that and make it a cupboard of magic.
Oh please...you have a right to think only of yourself when you need it. Please do come here and vent anytime!
I'm glad things are looking up for you!
goodness nausea is so bad today. and i am so weepy. i hate that.
Logistical and financial concerns aside, I tm'd a "kitchen fit for witchin'" and feel like this is the start of it.
maybe that's why i was drawn to the house with so many built ins!

Background Information on Myotonia
Myotonia is a state of hyperexcitability in muscle fibers in which a voluntary contraction or electromechanical stimulation can provoke trains of repetitive action potentials. This causes delay in relaxation after a muscle contraction. The repetitive action potentials are generated by the muscle fibers, independent of any input from the motor neuron. Myotonia is caused by dysfunction of ion channels in the muscle membrane.
There are several ways in which myotonia can be observed. Action myotonia refers to muscle stiffness and delayed relaxation that can be seen following a voluntary contraction. For example, action myotonia often affects movements of the fingers and can interfere with many ordinary tasks, such as, writing or opening a door. Electromyographic myotonia refers to the repetitive discharges that are triggered when an extracellular recording electrode is inserted into a muscle. In mice this is done with a tiny (30 gauge) needle electrode under general anesthesia. In humans it is done without anesthetic. When electromyography (EMG) is performed on a normal muscle, insertion of the electrode triggers a brief (less than 20 msec) flurry of discharges. When EMG is performed on a muscle with myotonia, insertion of the electrode triggers an extended series of repetitive discharges lasting up to 30 seconds.
Myotonia is a cardinal feature in 4 human diseases:
Myotonic dystrophy is the most common disease that causes myotonia. Recent studies in our laboratory indicate that the myotonia in myotonic dystrophy is caused, at least in part, by reduced expression of the ClC-1 chloride channel (Mankodi, et al, Molecular Cell, July 2002).
Several strains of mice with myotonia have been isolated. All spontaneous mutations that cause myotonia in mice are allelic. These strains are called "adr", for arrested development of righting response (i.e., the mice are slow to regain their upright posture after being tipped on their side). Adr strains have mutations in the murine Clcn1 gene, similar to the mutations that cause human generalized myotonia congenita.
Action myotonia (grip myotonia) in a person with myotonic dystrophy type 1 This person has been asked to make a forceful handgrip for 5 seconds and then open the hand as quickly as possible. It takes more than 20 seconds to fully extend the fingers.
EMG of wild-type mouse The electrode is inserted into a muscle and advanced every 4 to 5 seconds. Each movement of the electrode triggers a brief electrical discharge.
EMG of adr mouse A single movement of the EMG electrode triggers a sustained myotonic discharge.
EMG of HSALR mouse (1) A single movement of the electrode triggers a sustained myotonic discharge.
EMG of HSALR mouse (2) A single movement of the electrode triggers myotonic discharges in many muscle fibers.

Parish: Crystal Palace can do a Southampton - we have the players, the manager and the fans
8:45am Wednesday 4th December 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Steve Parish wants Crystal Palace to be "in touch" with Premier League survival come the new year.
The Eagles lifted themselves off the foot of the table last night thanks to Marouane Chamakh's winner over fellow strugglers West Ham United.
They face another six pointer at Selhurst Park this weekend when Cardiff City pay a visit to south east London.
But Tony Pulis's men then face a quartet of tough assignments at Chelsea (December 14), at home to Newcastle United (December 21), at Aston Villa (Boxing Day) and at Manchester City on New Year's Eve.
However, the co-chairman is confident the new manager can turn the club's fortunes around – especially after they dented the Hammers.
"It would be good to at least be in touch with the rest of the Premier League come the new year," he said.
"It is notoriously difficult for promoted teams to survive, but I feel we have the right man in to help us do that, and he has the time to achieve that aim.
"If we can hang in there over Christmas then that would be excellent. Look at Southampton, this time last year they were in a terrible position, but now they are flying and there is no reason why we cannot do the same."
He added: "Not only do we have the manager, but the players are right behind it too, and as you saw against West Ham, the fans are superb.
"We need to make Selhurst Park a place opponents don't like to visit, and we're in the process of doing that."
The anatomy of a goal............
Oh, happy days....
Welcome home: Tony Pulis was given a warm welcome in his first game in charge at Selhurst Park
Battle: Barry Bannan - a relevation on the right - puts the boot in against Razvan Rat
Probably a foul: Joey O'Brien decides to head Jason Puncheon's foot
Chase me: Most of the Hammers try to close down goal-scorer Marouane Chamakh
Cheerio: James Tomkins gets there first but Chamakh gets clear
Clash of the titans: Carlton Cole is bowled over by Danny Gabbidon
Another Cole defeat: Mile Jedinak gets the better of the West Ham striker
Hey, you: Tony Pulis shows his passion on the touchline
Going nowhere: Mile Jedinak tussles with England U21 striker Ravel Morrison
In: Cameron Jerome missed a gilt-edged one-on-one that would have made it 2-0
Clear: Jedinak fires a pass
Close: KG sends another Palace chance over the West Ham bar
Concentration: Cameron Jerome lays off a little pass to someone else
Brothers in arms: Keith Millen and Tony Pulis point the way to survival

There's a new way to order all the textbooks you'll need for your classes at Luther Seminary. We have partnered with TEXTBOOKX.COM, a full-service online bookstore. Though the Luther Seminary Bookstore won't be directly handling course book orders, we hope you'll still visit us frequently. We want to help make this transition an easy one. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.
Here, we've provided some frequently asked questions about the ordering process through Textbookx. You can also download a pdf of this information.
A. Course books are available online through a company called Textbookx.com. You can start the ordering process by visiting www.luthersem.edu/orderbooks, which will give you direct access to theTextbookx.com ordering system.
A. You can purchase new and used books through Luther Seminary. You can also purchase used books through third-party sellers. Here is a brief key to understanding your options, and how they may appear on Textbookx.com and in this FAQ.
A. Textbookx allows you to search by faculty name and course number in addition to traditional search terms like the book's title or author. Searching by course number ensures you're buying the approved book.
A. These options are offered from third-party sellers (highlighted in blue), not the Luther Seminary Bookstore (highlighted in peach). The shipping charge for each of these books is $4.96 (economy shipping) and they are not eligible for the $49 free shipping option. Please be aware that returns of third-party purchases must be handled through the individual sellers.
A. Required course books will no longer be available for sale at the physical Luther Seminary Bookstore, with the exception of select Augsburg Fortress publications. Please contact or visit the bookstore directly if you need to purchase one of these titles:
• Evangelical Lutheran Worship, Pew Edition• Evangelical Lutheran Worship, Leaders Desk Edition• Sundays and Seasons, Year C, 2013• "Holy Spirit: Creative Power in Our Lives"• "Renewing Worship, Vol. 2: Principles for Worship"• "Discovering Hope: Building Vitality in Rural Congregations"• "Opening the Book of Faith: Lutheran Insights for Bible Study"
A. Currently, online purchases must be made with a credit or debit card. If this is a problem for you, please contact Laura Buystedt (email@example.com) in the Business Office. International students or those needing reimbursement from designated book scholarship funds may contact Marie Hayes (email@example.com) or Chenar Howard (firstname.lastname@example.com) in International Student and Scholar Affairs.
A. Orders of new and used books (highlighted in peach) ship free if your order totals $49 or more. If your order totals less than $49, the most economic shipping option, economy, costs $3.97 plus 99 cents per book. Expedited shipping options are available at an additional cost. For more shipping information, visit www.luthersem.textbookx.com/service/shipping.php. Please note, shipping prices of books purchased from third-party sellers are higher than Luther Seminary books. Each third-party book will cost $4.96 in Economy shipping.
A. Most course books leave the Textbookx warehouse within five business days. Shipping via the most economic option, economy, will take an additional three to 10 business days. So your books should arrive within two weeks of your order date, and most take less time than that. Expedited shipping options are available at an additional cost.
A. Returns of new and used course books purchased from through Textbookx are allowed within 30 days of receiving your order confirmation. Please note that this return policy does not apply to books purchased through third-party sellers. Returns of these items must be handled directly with the third-party seller. For a complete return policy, visit www.luthersem.textbookx.com/returns. Returns cannot be handled through the physical Luther Seminary Bookstore.
A. Customer service representatives at Akademos, the parent company of Textbookx.com, are available to answer your questions via phone (800-887-6459) or email (email@example.com). You can also access a more comprehensive list of frequently asked questions at www.textbookx.com/service/help_desk.php.You are always welcome to contact the Bookstore if you have questions about this partnership. We are in the lower level of the Olson Campus Center.

Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe

The Asia Pacific profile is an edited version of a full write-up that appears in The Lawyer Asia Pacific 150, a comprehensive analysis of the legal market in the region that ranks the top 100 local firms and leading 50 international players by headcount. For more information and to purchase your copy please click here
Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe posted global revenues of $846m in 2011 with 20 partners in London contributing $34.5m, almost five per cent down on the previous year. The firm has 25 offices globally dividing its practice across the five broad areas of corporate, energy/infrastructure, finance, intellectual property and litigation.
The firm endured a tough start to 2013 with a number of defections across different jurisdictions. In Germany, independent firm Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek hired a team of nine lawyers in February to strengthen its Düsseldorf and Frankfurt real estate teams.
Orrick partners Michael Alberts and Peter Zimmerman along with of counsel Peter Vocke all join Heuking as equity partners in Düsseldorf, accompanied by four associates. In Frankfurt, partner Christoph Wetzler moved along with one associate.
In January 2013 the firm lost Hong Kong corporate partner William Woo to Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
Woo is the seventh corporate partner to leave Orrick's Greater China team since the middle of 2012. Beijing-based partners Allen Shyu and Thomas Man left for Troutman Sanders and Morrison Foerster, while Hong Kong partners Phoebus Chu, Mark Lee and David Cho also left to pursue other opportunities. Most recently, in November 2012 the firm's senior partner for China, Christopher Stephens, left to join the Asian Development Bank as general counsel.
Founded in San Francisco, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2013.

Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe focuses on capital markets, private equity, intellectual property and M&A work in China. "Many Chinese companies are now going abroad and are raising money on the Hong Kong stock exchange," explains Xiang Wang, the firm's Beijing-based Asia managing partner, claiming that recently his firm has done more initial public offerings in Hong Kong than any other global firm.
The practice has also been made something of a television sensation in China, with the country's Central Television station focusing on the firm for a recent documentary on the region's tumultuous intellectual property environment called Patent Wars.
Wang also remains bullish on the firm's Tokyo office, despite the country's difficult economic situation. "There are probably some international law firms suffering in Japan, but we take the view that it remains a very important market for our clients." Taiwan also remains a solid fixture on the firm's map: "It is a strategic location for us to serve technology companies that are operating in the US and on mainland China."

Crusaders to Face Loyola in HL Championship Semifinals
Tuesday, November 08, 2011
Valparaiso learned its opponent for the 2011 Horizon League Men's Soccer Championship semifinal on Tuesday evening, as the Crusaders will face sixth-seeded Loyola at 7 p.m. Friday night on Brown Field.
As the regular season champions, Valparaiso earned a bye through to the semifinals and entered Tuesday knowing it would face the lowest remaining seed following tonight's quarterfinals. The suspense ended quickly for Valpo, as the Ramblers, who were the championship's lowest seed, earned a 1-0 road win at third-seeded Cleveland State. The Crusaders defeated Loyola in Chicago earlier this year on Oct. 26, 1-0 on a 59th minute goal from Charles Barden.
On the other side of the bracket, fourth-seeded Green Bay won a 2-1 decision over fifth-seeded UIC to advance to take on second-seeded Wright State on 4 p.m. Friday afternoon, also at Brown Field. The championship title game will be played Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. All three remaining games of the 2011 Horizon League Men's Soccer Championship will be streamed live via the Horizon League Network, with links for the live video and live stats available at www.valpoathletics.com.

A Letter from Alice Hoffman
Author Alice Hoffman has written a letter to all readers about her new novel, The Dovekeepers (April 2012).
Once in a lifetime a book may come to a writer as an unexpected gift. The Dovekeepers is such a book for me. It was a gift from my great-great grandmothers, the women of ancient Israel who first spoke to me when I visited the mountain fortress of Masada. In telling their story of loss and love, I've told my own story as well. After writing for thirty-five years, after more than thirty works of fiction, I was given the story I was meant to tell.
The Dovekeepers is a novel set during and after the fall of Jerusalem (70 C.E.). The book covers a period of four years as the Romans waged war against the Jewish stronghold of Masada, claimed by a group 900 rebels and their families. The story is taken from the historian Josephus, who has written the only account of siege, in which he reported that two women and five children survived the massacre on the night when the Jews committed mass suicide rather than submit to the Roman Legion. It was they who told the story to the Romans, and, therefore, to the world. I have researched The Dovekeepers for many years, relying not only Josephus's account, but also on the findings of Yigal Yadin, the archeologist who lead the Masada project.
I was initially inspired by my first visit to Masada, a spiritual experience so intense and moving I felt as though the lives that had been led there two thousand years earlier were utterly fresh and relevant. The tragic events of the past and the extraordinary sacrifices that were made in this fortress seemed to be present all around me. It was as if those who had lived there, and died there, had passed by only hours before. The temperature was well over a hundred degrees and the horizon was shaky with blue heat. In that great silence, standing inside the mystery that is the past, surrounded by the sorrow of the many deaths that occurred there, I also felt surrounded by life and by the stories of the women who had been there. In that moment, The Dovekeepers came to life as well.
All My Best,
Alice Hoffman
Alice Hoffman was born in New York City in 1952 and grew up on Long Island. Hoffman's first novel, Property Of, was written at the age of twenty-one. She has published a total of twenty-eight works of fiction. Her novel, Here on Earth, an Oprah Book Club choice. Practical Magic was made into a Warner film starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Hoffman's work has been published in more than twenty translations and more than one hundred foreign editions. Hoffman is currently a visiting research scholar at the Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis University. She lives in Boston.
