by Dave Bar The portable music lover's dilemma Sure, your iPhone works just fine with lightweight portable headphones while you're on the go. But what happens when you get to work, or home, and want to listen to your mobile music library through some serious high-fidelity cans? Or your big-rig audio system? What happens is... not much! At least, not much that sounds good, anyway. And that's the problem the made-for-earbuds circuitry inside your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad has a choke hold on the sound of your music. It just can't muster the power and precision that is absolutely vital for critical listening on a high-quality sound system or high-end headphones. NuForce has the perfect solution to this problem. Get pure digital performance The impressive Icon iDo gives you a direct digital connection to the music on your player for richer, fuller sound. Just plug the supplied cable into your Apple device's dock connector (or use the cable that came with your player). You'll be feeding your music in its original digital form through the iDo's audiophile-grade digital-to-analog converter. This bypasses your player's DAC and headphone amp, allowing you to hear your tunes with dramatically improved clarity. The iDo's versatile output connections give you the flexibility to enjoy your music on your finest headphones, powered speakers, home theater, or stereo system. Realize your music's full potential If you've never heard your digital music played through a high-quality DAC or headphone amp, you're in for a big treat. You'll get sparkling clear highs, detailed midrange, and deep, sonorous bass you can feel all the way down to your tailbone. Every instrument and vocal stands out clearly and distinctly in its own separate space, allowing you to easily follow each one note-for-note. You'll feel immersed in sound with a greater sense of ambient space around you. From the review A one-stop solution to get quality sound from your Apple portable "Overall, this product feels well-designed and thought through and reasonably priced... I have a feeling Nuforce's mighty iDo will rank high on my wish list for the upcoming year."

While these kinds of sources usually have their own digital-to-analog converters built in, you can expect a separate DAC to give you much better accuracy and finer detail.
Your iPod listening experience explodes ! Written By T. Janes, Bel Air, Maryland on Tuesday, July 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am a critical listener. When listening I am looking for clarity and resolution. I'm listening for crisp rim shots on the snare drum or any other percussion instrument, the detail and clarity of strings, the smoothness of the standing base, and a tight base on any of the lower notes. Im listening for how well the music source is engineered and produced (how the session musicians sound). Finally I'm listening to the vocals, melodies, and harmonies . I use a good pair of Sennheiser over the ear headphones or a pair of UE in- the- ear buds plugged in to the NUforce Icon iDo, and I use the included USB chord to plug in my iPod. The NuForce is a substantial, well weighted, the size of a standard paperback book, DAC amplifier. It is thoughtfully engineered with intuitive, simple controls and can be positioned horizontally or vertically. Mine sits vertically in an ingenious, non-marring stand (abt 2 x 5 inches ) on my nightstand. The single large knob has a nicely machined action that controls the volume with electric blue led indicator lights. There is a small green led light to indicate that the pushbutton switch on the back has been turned on. The AC-DC converter also has a green led signaling that it is powered. Finally, after listening to my iPod for years now with just its ability to reproduce through phones or buds, I was stunned by the difference the NuForce Icon iDo makes. Small enough to take with you and very fairly priced for a quality piece. Pros: Magnitude improvement in quality and faithfulness of music source reproduction Metal cabinet, weight, thoughtful engineering, beautiful stand for vertical mount Fairly priced Cons: I bought a standard Apple USB cord to go with mine- not needed! It comes with one for a direct connection into your iPod/handheld
Improvement but still lacking Written By Majog, NY on Tuesday, July 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this inplace of the DAC module for my NAD integrated amp because it natively played Ipad and Iphone devices. I was surprised that I had to turn the volume up on it as much as I did and that the sound was not as clear and crisp as from the CD player. It is a nice to have but a bit disappointing based on the other reviews. Pros: Easy to install and use; price; functionality Cons: Power; volume; clarity.
Quality Product Written By TimM, Dallas, TX on Sunday, June 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The first thing I noticed was that the iDo has a big effect on the clarity of your audio files. Distortion on a guitar sounds crisper and crunchier. Bass guitar sound effects came to life when before I hadn't even noticed them. Drums, especially the snare, sounded better. Exactly what was improved varies by album, so it's been exciting to go back and listen to all of my music again. The guitar & drums in "Possum Kingdom" by the Toadies were clearer, resulting in a slight but noticeable improvement in the overall quality. "Don't Panic" by Coldplay sounded like a new song. The harsh snare/high hat faded to the background as the guitars in that song finally came out. The vocals sounded so much better that I checked to make sure that I was listening to the usual recording. In Soundgarden's "Outshined," I heard a background guitar rift that I'd never heard before. This is a great product at a great price. Make sure that you have a decent set of headphones and at least a high quality mp3 rip to get the most out of this product. NuForce's website does not say that the iDo will work with the 7th gen iPod Nano, while Crutchfield's website says that it does work. I have the 7th gen iPod Nano and I can confirm that it does work with the iDo. Pros: Improved Sound Quality, Build Quality, Price, Charges your device while you use it Cons: Limited Support for Older Apple Devices.
NuForce iCon iDo for iPod Written By JimS, Valrico, FL on Sunday, May 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the iCon iDo to improve the sound using headphones directly jacked into my iPod Classic. Several audio stores I contacted suggested purchasing a dedicated headphone amp ($400 or more), a new DAC( $400) plus an iPod dock. Oh, and better headphones, maybe Sennheiser 650s. I have been using AKG K240 Studio over ear headphones. They give a "very good" sound directly jacked into the iPod and are very confortable--no "head clamp." All I wanted was "some" improvement in sound. I saw the NuForce iDo on the Crutchfield site and it appeared to do the job of all the above extras (amp/Dac/dock). So I bought it. Results: I have been using the iDo for 2 weeks. The music on my iPod was all downloaded from CDs and includes classical, jazz (mostly 1950s bop) and some rock. The iDo was a clear improvement over the direct headphone to iPod arrangement. Recordings that sounded good without the iDo now sound excellent. More detail, more feeling of presence and generally hearing things I had not heard on the recordings before. Also, a smoother sound which is hard to explain. Not a loss of unpleasant harshness, just a more pleasing tone to many recordings. Poorly recorded material was not improved. The audio info just isn't there to be improved. Even some very old records (Louis Armstrong) from the 1920 sounded much better. The iDo seemed to get through to the analog grooves directly cut by the needle. The improvement is sometimes subtle, but it is there. Pros: Good price. Easy to set up and use. Excellent volume control. Recharges iPod automatically. Provides a clear improvement in sound quality over simply jacking headphones directly into the iPod. (I only tested with full-size over-ear and on-ear phones, not earbuds). Solidly built. Cons: Needs a power source, so it is not portable. Only has the small jack input, not the 1/4" hole.
Great DAC Written By PeteS, Arlington VA on Friday, April 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Tried this with my Sennheiser PXC 150 headphones and made them sound like I paid twice as much or more. Then hooked them up to my portable stereo and made it sound better than my home stereo. I have already recommended the IDO to 5 of my friends. You can't go wrong Pros: Works great with an Apple remote, sounds awesome, priced right Cons: none
It's a modest improvement, but nothing spectacular. Written By AJT, Maryland on Friday, March 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It improves the sound, but in terms of clarity compared to the iPhone's DAC, I can't tell if it is just the amp providing more "oomph" or the DAC providing any appreciably better sound. If I compare the two, the general clarity of sound between the iPhone's DAC and iDo's DAC doesn't seem to be significantly different so I'm thinking it is mostly the amp. The iDo does sound clearer, but not much to my ears. I find the iDo's mid-range, while louder, is kinda muddy at times, and for me, this is disappointing, because I like balanced sound. Another problem is the 1/8" phone jack. With an adapter on a 1/4" plug, it seems to strain the jack. I stuck a small pad of post-it notes underneath it for stability, but honestly, it is a headphone amp, so why not a 1/4" plug to use with audiophile headphones? The volume knob has clicks, but it is hard to fine tune the sound with the unit's volume knob. I tend to go to the iPhone for fine-tuning volume. I have had a few instances of flakey performance... you plug the iDevice in, and you get no sound. Unplugging the device in most instances will fix it. One time I had to restart the iPhone and plug it back in to get it to work. The iDo is a nice single unit form factor, has coax out, and is an improvement from the stock iDevice. I may pick-up a separate headphone amp to use with the iPhone and see if there is any difference. I'm thinking a vacuum tube unit. If there is not a significant difference, I may sell the iDo. Pros: Nice form factor. Coax out. Decent, but not stellar improvement over listening directly from iDevice Cons: No 1/4" jack. Louder, but not necessarily improved sound from iDevice's DAC. Flakey performance, though usually resolved with reconnecting device.
Works with Ipad Retina (IPAD 4th gen) Written By Bob-D, Beverly, Ma. on Friday, February 15, 2013 Just an update to the other 4 & 5 star reviews (which I completely agree with). The Ido works well with the new IPAD Retina (4th gen). It also has the UN-advertised benefit of giving a boost to the signal level at it's Line Out jacks. This allows the Iphone/Ipad to be kept at a moderate volume level setting (to reduce clipping potential) and still produces enough signal to drive most amps. Very nice benefits on top of the very noticeable improvement in sound quality over standard head-phone outputs. Pros: Nice level boost to work as line driver with larger systems. Cons: None
The missing link Written By Brent, Richland, Wa on Saturday, February 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this together with a set of Grado SR325is headphones (see also that review). I use an iPad 2 with lossless music files as the source. The sound is much better than through the headphones directly into the iPad. As far as I can tell the digital to analog conversion is perfect and the frequency response is very uniform over the whole audible range. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something very slightly lacking in the iDo headphone output versus what I hear when I run analog out from the iDo's RCA terminals into my Onkyo 8522 receiver and plug into its (the 8522's) headphone out. But then again, that is not a fair comparison between a semi-portable little box and a behemoth analog receiver. This is the missing link between your iPad and headphones that will allow you to get your audiophile fix on in places where you can't have a full rack of gear. Mine sits tidily on my desk at work. It is easy to move around but I wouldn't call it portable. I only bring it home sometimes on the weekend, where it performs much higher quality digital to analog conversion than I get by running the same files through my Apple TV into a Samsung TV for conversion before the 8522. The artifacts are plainly heard in that latter setup whereas I never hear them from the iDo. Operation is foolproof - plug everything in, turn it on and set the volume. Playback is controlled from the iPad just as if you were using its headphone jack or built-in speakers. Pros: Very good DAC with high quality output signal to either headphones or an analog main amp. Cons: Makes me painfully aware of how crappy the digital to analog conversion of my main home system is.
Great DAC product Written By TimT, LA on Saturday, January 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The iCon iDo is a great way to connect an iPod to a higher end stereo without having the sound card that is built into the music player getting in the way. This delivers a much higher level of sound quality. I also like the fact that the unit works with my Apple remote. Excellent way to get high quality sound out of an iPod without spending a bunch of money.
Nuforce ido Written By Anonymous, East Hanover, NJ on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great little unit-superior customer service Cons: iPhone 5 not supported?
A must if you want to improve MP3 sound! Written By Ray, Schaumburg, Illinois on Monday, December 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Nuforce iDo was easy to install. I'm using the headphone jack to deliver the sound to my two powered speakers/powered sub using my i-pad. The quality of the sound was quite noticeable once I added the iDo to my sound system and it immediately expanded the dynamic range of the music delivered to the speakers - a very refreshing thing since streamed MP3 music has limited dynamic range. The sound is now truer and more pleasant to listen to, no matter what type of music I played. I am very pleased with this purchase and I use it everyday. Pros: Small, well designed and a very rugged DAC unit to add to your sound system. Cons: The base could have been black in color in lieu of white to match the black color of the iDo itself.
Nuforce Icon iDo Can Do Written By WK, Dallas, TX on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased Shure SRH 840 Headphones to use with My IPod and was disappointed with the results. Decided to try the Nuforce Icon ido DAC after doing a bit of research and was astounded at what I have been missing in my music for years. Ease of use and portability (use this at both work and home) is great, just plug it in, turn it on pick your music and turn up the volume. Clarity of individual instruments and voices is incredible. Listening to Etta James you can hear her breath between notes. About as close to live performance from recorded music as I have ever heard. Also using this with Shure earphones with same results. Definitely recomment. Pros: Ease of use and sound quality is first class Cons: A bit pricey at $249.00 but if you love music, it is a must try
Improved performance even with earbuds Written By JimH, Vestal, NY on Tuesday, September 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I noticed two very significant and important benefits of the DAC over a direct connection to an ipod. 1. Significantly improved dynamic range and frequency response. Bass was stronger and much deeper and high frequencies were clearer and sharper. Also, the unit provided a finer level of control over volume than the iPod direct control. It could be even better if it had a remote and wireless functionality and more output options, but I'm very happy. Pros: Significantly improved sound quality. Cons: Volume is interactive with volume of iPod. So you have to set both to a value.
NuForce IDo Written By MarcC, Hoschton, Ga. on Wednesday, June 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got the bright idea to transfer my music, CD's and vinyl, to my new IPod Classic and use that along with my existing Harmon Kardon receiver/JBL speakers. Read a lot on how it could be done and looked at a lot of equipment to do so. With help from the Crutchfield site, I finally decided to give the NuForce IDo a try as it was reasonably priced and could work along with my existing H/K receiver. The unit was received quickly after only a couple of days. The packaging was very well done, everything arrived in excellent condition. Set up and connection was simple. I used the recommendation from your telephone rep, Blake, in ripping my CD's and transfer to the IPod. While I've only just begun to listen to my music from the IPod so far I couldn't be more pleased. The sound of CD's from the IPod is full and rich; highs and lows are crystal clear. I can't hear any difference from the original source. I would recommend this unit very highly. Pros: Simple, quick installation. Easy to operate Cons: Output volume has to be adjusted each time the unit is used as it resets when the unit is switched off. I suppose this is to protect users when the unit is used as an amplifier for direct connected headphones.
Good design Written By Ron M, La Verne CA on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This DAC is very compact and after using for some time now I am very impressed with the improvement in sound quality. The product is very well packaged and the instructions are straightforward and complete. I have had no issues. Pros: Small compact easy to hookup and use. I really like that it charges my devices while in use. Cons: None encountered.
Finest Quality Sound Written By RobertJ, Philadelphia, PA on Friday, June 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just purchased a 3rd generation iPad and was very disappointed in the sound, even though I used Klipsch x10i earphones. I purchased the NuForce Icon iDo and the sound was completely changed. I downloaded my iTunes library onto my iPad (320 kbps AAC). I now listen to breathtaking sound through my Klipsch x10i earphones. Listening to Schubert and Kiri Te Kanawa is like being in a concert hall. I couldn't be happier. The NuForce Icon iDo DAC is an audiophile's dream come true! Pros: Excellent quality sound. Easy set-up. Quality built product that takes up little space. Priced right (I found an open box at Crutchfield's outlet and got a 10% discount. The product was new.) Cons: None.
Best True DAC iPod Solution for The Money Written By BixLives!, New Jersey on Sunday, April 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) You have an iPod classic or a new version of the Nano. You want to play your iPod through your Hi-Fi, but the analogue output from the iPod is simply not as good as your Hi-Fi. Frustration. Your iPod contains 256 kbps ACC (MP4) digital files that SHOULD sound almost as good as an uncompressed CDA/WAV file from a CD. In fact, there should only be about 6-10 db less signal to noise ratio in the 256 kbps MP4 file. On only the most quiet solo piano pieces should you be able to hear ANY digital-based distortion. E.g., very quiet piano notes in a Debussy piece may have a slight whooshing sound, however, many poorly recorded CDs also have this problem. With 99% of all commercial music, an iPod file SHOULD sound the same as the CD, IF it is converted with a high quality DAC along with a high quality analogue preamp section. THE iDO ACCOMPLISHES THIS TASK WELL. The iDo has a coax digital output as well & I compared the iDo's DACs to an expensive 24 bit Denon DAC. I think the iDo DAC wins by a hair, but it was nothing I could tell easily. In short, the iDo is great. I also A/B'd CDs to the iDo (w/ 256 ACC files) and only on quiet piano music could I hear any difference. The CODEC for the MP4 (ACC) file is damn good. You really don't need the "lossless" format anymore. Someday soon, when fractal math is employed for digital audio compresion, we will have CD quality sound in 1/10th the file size of your average iPod ACC file. Pros: It bypasses your iPod's DAC and analogue section. The iDo has a solid DAC and analogue section (what the iPod is missing!) and also affords a coaxual digital output should you want to use your zillion-dollar DAC. It does what the Wadia does for a fraction of the price. It's all too bad, because the iPod could have very easily been built for serious Hi-Fi if Apple had only spent an extra 2 bucks on a better battery and DAC chip. Cons: The iDo does not bypass a seconday digital section within the iPod (i.e., EQ). Contrary to conventional wisdom, iPod EQ is accomplished DIGITALLY and can cause much distortion, even if it's turned off. Many new albums are OVER NORMALISED and the iPod cannot handle such densly normalised (wave-hammered) music. E.g. Madeleine Peyroux's "Careless Love" album. Since an iPod Classic can operate as a USB file storage device, the raw digital file is all that should be processed by the iDo.
An Audiophile's Delight Written By RobertP, Clemmons, NC on Saturday, March 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The NuForce Ido DAC headphone device that adapts to the newer iPods, iPhone 4, and the iPad (I use it with the iPhone 4 and the iPad ), and is touted to improve sound quality and the spacial dynamics of whichever device it is used with, more than lives up to the claims made about it. The device softens the sound and allows the listener to "define" the instruments as they are playing. The bass is boosted considerably, but does not overpower the listener. I decided to attach the device to my surround system, powered by a Yamaha Natural Sound Surround Receiver RX-V663, pushing Bose 161 speakers and a Boston Acoustics center channel speaker, and put it through its paces. The improvement was phenomenal! I listed to HD Radio through an app on my iPhone 4, which was attached to the ido through an adaptor made for the iPhone 4. Honestly, it sounded as if the orchestra and musicians were in the room with me. Every instrument came through clearly. It was a an exciting listening experience. I bought the ido because I previously purchased the smaller, but equally as good, NuForce DAC to use with my MacBook Pro. I would recommend wholeheartedly the Nuforce Ido to any person with an ear for quality music. It's definitely worth the investment. Pros: The product lives up to its claims in every way. Cons: I found that I couldn't use a headphone extension cable with the Ido because the plug wouldn't connect to the input securely. The headphones themselves (Klipsche) would, but not with an extension cable.
Over Stated, Under performing Written By PatsFan, Ossipee, NH on Monday, February 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very little difference w/ the I pod touch/ Dre Beats headphone combo, extremely disappointing. It looked to good to be true. And as the saying goes.... :(
Nice little DAC Written By James, Georgia on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have the Nuforce Icon iDo feeding an Onkyo receiver and Definitive Technology towers. Setup was easy and the sound is amazing. I think it has definitely brought back the impact to the music on my iPod. Not sure if there is a break in period or not, but it sounded great from day one to me. Pros: Easy set up Dynamic sound Cons: none
Nuforce Icon iDo Written By Rick P, San Diego, Ca on Wednesday, February 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm using the iDo with my iPad and running it through my stereo. I must say that the soundfield has added depth and other ambient info that didn't exist through the headphone jack. Highly recommended.
NuForce Icon iDO Written By San, Dallas, TX on Saturday, January 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) provides additional warmth, and larger soundstage, lower bass and less gritty sound Silicon stand is heavy and sticky to prevent tipping over. Well built chassis Pros: small package, great sound
Nuforce ICON iDO Written By Jack, Pocatello Idaho on Friday, January 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent amplifier which improves highs and lows. Charges devices while you're listening. But, won't work with older ipods (3-4yrs). Bummer. Cruchfield staff was unaware, another bummer. My Iphone works fine, but doesn't have my entire music collection, like my ipod. So from that standpoint, a rather spendy upgrade. Pros: Excellent amplifier which improves highs and lows. Charges devices while you're listening Cons: won't work with older ipods (3-4yrs). Bummer. Cruchfield staff was unaware, another bummer. My Iphone works fine, but doesn't have my entire music collection, like my ipod.

AL East rivals set to square off in Toronto
Blue Jays look to gain ground in Wild Card race against struggling Sox
Fenway Park has been anything but kind to the Red Sox lately. After finishing an 11-game homestand with a 2-9 record, the team is ready to hit the road for 10 games, beginning with a three-game series against the Blue Jays on Monday at the Rogers Centre.
It will be the job of right-hander Clay Buchholz to start the team off on the right foot and snap an eight-game losing streak. The veteran has been a mystery all season, unable to find sustained success.
Coming off two straight solid starts, Buchholz looked to be on the right path Wednesday against the Angels through the first few innings. He retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced, but then fell apart in a five-run fifth inning.
"The difference between everything going on this year and last year is a lot of balls finding holes or are home runs or doubles, they were hit at somebody last year and I got a lot of double plays that way," Buchholz said after the game. "Sometimes that's the way it goes. You don't ever want it to be a full season but that's the way it is sometimes, and I've got to keep grinding."
Buchholz finished the game allowing six runs on seven hits in six innings. He also walked two and struck out six, falling to 5-8 with a 5.94 ERA.
"Through the first four, I thought he was sharp," Red Sox manager John Farrell said after the game. "He had good action to his stuff. In the fifth, when he got ahead of hitters, he didn't have the same finishing pitch that he had shown in the previous four. They were able to put some people on."
Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ had many of the same issues in his last start against the Brewers. He was hit early and often, chased from the game before the end of the fourth inning.
Happ, one of Toronto's best pitchers since the All-Star break, tossed a total of 3 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on six hits for his third straight loss.
"I can't remember the last game I was involved with where I saw that many hard-hit balls all night long," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said after the game. "It was loud ... It's tough to come back when you're down early because we haven't been able to put anything together in awhile offensively."
The tides could turn quickly for Happ, who's found success against the Red Sox this season. In two starts against Boston, he's 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA. In his last start against the club on July 22, Happ allowed no runs on seven hits in six innings.
Red Sox: Workman optioned, Hembree recalled
Right-hander Brandon Workman was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday, a day after giving up seven runs on 10 hits in less than four innings.
The club recalled reliever Heath Hembree in a corresponding roster move to add a fresh arm to an overworked bullpen. Hembree allowed one hit in one scoreless inning in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Mariners.
"We gain a multi-inning reliever to support our bullpen right now," said Farrell.
The Red Sox have an off-day Thursday, so Farrell could stick with four starters for now, but said a pitcher will be called up for Friday's game at Tampa Bay. It will likely be Anthony Ranaudo, who started for Pawtucket Sunday and has made a pair of spot starts for Boston this season. Workman will go for the PawSox on Friday, which is when Ranaudo's next start would be.
Blue Jays: Santos back with Blue Jays
Toronto selected the contract of right-hander Sergio Santos from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday and optioned right-hander Kyle Drabek.
Back with the Blue Jays for the first time since being designated for assignment at the end of July, Santos took a loss on Sunday against the Rays. He allowed one unearned run on one hit in one inning.
Drabek made two relief appearances for the Blue Jays, allowing two hits and walking two over three innings. He's 7-7 with a 4.00 ERA in 29 games (13 starts) with the Bisons this season.
Worth Noting
• The Red Sox have played in 48 one-run games this season (24-24), which is the most in the American League and the third most in the Majors.
• Since joining the Red Sox on Aug. 2, Yoenis Cespedes has driven in 18 of Boston's 79 runs (23 percent). It's the most RBIs on the team in that time.
• The Blue Jays have won nine of their last 15 contests at the Rogers Centre and four of their last six series since July 1.

I think this is a good candidate to best bundle. It doesn't have any big names like Bastion, but all games look solid and fun. I already had SPAZ from Steam, but I still managed to get this one again.
Phoronix: Humble Indie Bundle 6 Passes One Million Dollars
The latest Humble Indie Bundle has just been live for a period of four days, but it's already generated more than one million dollars...
I think this is a good candidate to best bundle. It doesn't have any big names like Bastion, but all games look solid and fun. I already had SPAZ from Steam, but I still managed to get this one again.
Have them all but haven't played even half of the games, not much of a gamer really. However given that as long as I like one or two games out of a bundle it's still a real bargain, that they provide (mostly) native Linux offerings and that I really like promoting DRM-free software (and the indie-game scene in general), I will continue to throw my money at them!
Quality games, cheap prices, all platforms supported, the receipt to success
I wish I could pay more for this amazing game, Torchlight, but so completely broke...
Hope they will iron all bugs out shortly. specially one with lvl 3 and missing face.
The 2012-09-20 version of Torchlight fixed the level 3 portal bug but not the missing faces. Download it again from HB and resintall. If the installer segfaults then try uninstalling the previous version first.
With fglrx it seems to crash often, ususally when changing levels via a portal or stairs. Crash recovery is rather good and usually clicking the "Continue" button on the main menu returns me to nearly the same position before the crash.
I'm using a Radeon HD 4770 (R740) with Unbutu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) x86_64. Same game another system with an Nvidia GeForce GTS ???? is more stable and rarely crashes.
I'd have to say that SPAZ is an amazing game. Definitely one of my favorites already!
I think my favorite (which would be Torchlight, but the bugs kinda kill it) right now would have to be Rochard. That game throws Metroid, Trine and half-life into a blender and comes out strong. It is a very polished game, has decent voice acting, and visuals on par with team fortress 2 in my opinion. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least.
The visual style and gameplay of Dust Runner's was charming, and reminded me a bit of N+ and Gish. Very good job to that team for making a 2D game I can get into. The charactor design was pretty solid as well. Hopefully we will see some more from that team in the future.

I love this ring. It is even better than I expected.
My husband bought this for me as a second wedding ring, the original one is 42 years old. This ring is very comfortable, the diamonds are well set and the top is smooth-no snags. I think it is very sturdy and plan on wearing it all of the time. I am very pleased with this ring.
While I love the ring and do get somemcompliments, the diamonds are very poor quality and visually cloudy. The price is unvelievable, and I now understand why. You get what you pay for, I will p=only buy diamonds in person from now on.....happy shopping

I can't think of any. I can think of a ton of reasons for her to walk into a door, though.
Or tumble down some stairs...
But no, I wasn't asking because of the sandwich, even though it reminded me of a debate I had with an instructor in a college class a few years ago. She worked for the courts and handled domestic abuse cases, and was very passionate about defending women against violence, repeatedly shouting "You NEVER hit a woman!" At the time I didn't argue about it, but now that I think of it, there are reasons to smack a ****. For me, after self-defense, having a woman cheat on me also warrants a smackdown. Well, at least a good slap.

Never Too Old To Need Your Mommy
My Mom takes care of me, even when I am a Mommy, too. I am still really fighting sickness and sore throat and preparing for a birthday party tonight so my Mommy is bringing me food, coming to take Gray for the day, and also she made the cake for tonight's party. How can I ever repay her?

Intel stuff have best FLOSS support amongst big 3.
For chance against big blobs we still need some time, and rethinking of what we want. (Seen patches that disable S3TC support in Intel HW, even though it wont work without external lib, in Fedora, that was like killing week old dead)
Anyway we really need that new texture formats for OpenGL that are free (and patent free). And best would be if GPU vendors and game devs pushed MS into supporting it in DX too..

Out of Stock
Item # LGN0639
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Bib Shorts in stock than that.
Louis Garneau Mondo Evo Bib Shorts $0.00
Reviews & Community
What do you think of the
Louis Garneau Mondo Evo Bib Shorts
? Share a...
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The Mondo Evo bib is the best bib I have worn! It has excellent fit, quality, and comfort. The Neo Power bibs have been my go-to bibs for the last 4 yrs. The Mondo Evo bib will for sure replace them.
The Mondo's lycra is thinner than the Neo Power but it has more compression. The chamois feels more race as well. My only reservations are durability and washability with the thinner lycra but only time will tell.
excellent bibs - not snug though
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
Height: 6' 2"Weight: 195 lbsSize Purchased: XL
done one 50 mile ride so far, but these appear to be excellent - good fit, supportive and good for warm weather rides (Arizona). They run larger than the LG Equipe shorts I have. I am 6'2", 195 lbs, 35" waist and the XL fit well, but I could probably have done with the Large size (no way the large size Equipes would work for me)
update - should have got the large. The XL's fit, but the material gets a bit slack around the thighs (note: I have the Corsa 2 bibs in XL, and they fit good and snug)
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I keep looking for a better fit by buying high end Capo, Gore, Assos but in the end the LG Mondo Evo is the one I forget about while on the bike. Perfect cut and chamois.
Me= 187cm, 74kg, 31in waist

Very happy with these. They just feel great - they disappear. The only downside is that my wife won't stop growling at me. :-).

if the shoe fits
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
high compression bibs are great, and these are some of my favorites. They hold their shape and stay tight all season long. If you have massive quads, you might have to go up a size just to fit into them. The first time you put these on you'll wonder if you accidentally grabbed your little sister's shorts.
Kevin McGraw
Love these Bibs
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I want to first off say that I love these bibs. They are super and are second to my Corse kit. The only thing that I don't love is the way they do the leg gripper. With the corse bib you can adjust the gripper manually, however with the Mondo you have to adjust the height of the leg gripper by pulling the shorts up or the gripper will not lay flat. It does not effect the chamois or the compression one bit but it is something to be aware of. All this being said, still one of my favorite pair of bibs
John Heineken
Nice bibs. Great chamois.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Pros: Well made, good quality, excellent design. Mesh straps won't stick to sweaty skin. Fantastic "4 Motion" chamois features a ventilated insert, a deep perineum channel (this is really important); and thin, ventilated pad in front. White straps won't show under light jerseys. And the ones I received say made in the USA. Nice.
Cons: none (as long as they fit).
Fit: I'm 5'10" 190lbs. The L fit me ok -a little tight because I'm thicker than most fit riders, plus the compression fabric. The XL fit me better.
Great Bib!!!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is "BY FAR" the best and most comfortable bib I've ever owned (till I bought Assos bibs.) Rode 55 miles on them and felt like I rode 5 miles. The chamois is ridiculously comfortable for long rides. Since I just purchased them and only ridden twice, the 55 mile and a 30 mile ride I'll write a follow up review within a year to advise on how they hold up.
Follow up review; I've been wearing this bib 6 months now, I highly recommend them due to excellent compression and comfort on long rides. I've ridden a couple of centuries since last review, and feel this bib comes second only to my Assos T FI.Millie_s5. My only issue with this bib is how the leg gripper rolls up your leg, but would still buy again with no regrets.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The best bibs I own. I own a bunch highend bibs and these are the best.
Best Bibs
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These bibs are the best I have found for 60 plus mile rides The 4Motion chamois rocks
best bibs
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love these. Compression is great without being restrictive, Chamois is very comfortable, and the split/vented rear of the chamois is really comfortable (I thought it was a gimmick - it's not). I use them for mtb and road,and these bibs are great for both.
4Motion Chamois
John Heineken
Thanks for the photo!
4Motion chamois
Innovative 4Motion design combines 3D preshaped wings and deep split at the back, bridged by vented mesh to provide a multi-directional motion and an amazing comfort.
The best
I have Craft, PI elite and pro and LG Equipe bib shorts. The LG Mondo are the best by far. I have had them for over a year. They have been washed a minimum of 20 times and still holding up fine. The logo is wearing off, but the fit is still the same. I'm 5'11" and 220lbs. I like a good compression, so I bought the large size. They are pricey, so I will only buy them when there is another deal. If you can afford them, go for it.
does this bib run small?
does this bib run small?
Paul Armstrong
According to the sizing chart, I should be wearing a small, but I have 2 pair of the Mondo bib shorts in Medium, and another pair LG bib shorts in Medium as well. The Medium is the perfect fit for me (5'10.5", 32" waist, 150lbs).
I love it !
Wore this bib out on a few rides and man is it comfortable. It's light weight and it fits snug with minimal to no adjustments whatsoever. It almost feels like i'm wearing nothing at all except the chamois padding. My review on this bib may be biased as I have not tried any other bib shorts, but all I can say is you get what you pay for. I will update on the durability of this item once I have ran it through the washer a few times and out on a few more runs.

Sooooo... a game that is set to run at 800x600 could take up the fullscreen still instead of just the ACTUAL 800 by 600 pixels?
Phoronix: Wayland's Weston Gets Output Scaling Support
Besides a new Raspberry Pi renderer for Weston, another interesting set of Wayland patches today is for providing output scaling support with Weston when using the X11 and DRM back-ends...
Sooooo... a game that is set to run at 800x600 could take up the fullscreen still instead of just the ACTUAL 800 by 600 pixels?
No, that has been possible for a long, long time already.
This is mostly about windowed applications on high density screens, where the window would be unreadably small (not only text, but buttons, lines, all kinds of graphic) without scaling. While configuring a default scaling factor for all stuff on a screen, it also allows the application to render in high density and bypass the default scaling, to produce finer graphics.
So in essence, applications that do not care about high density will be scaled up by user preference, and they will become readable and usable, while applications that do handle high density have the chance to produce finer graphics.
This is not about DPI, font sizes, or keeping windows sizes equal in meters on different DPI monitors. This is simply about an integer scaling factor, that will make the difference between usable and unusable for a user.
Which is still good, I'd love to see high-DPI displays become common on desktops. It's already there on mobile, tablets, Macs and ChromeOS (Pixel). Windows is holding us back for desktops and general laptops though. Hopefully with everything on Linux supporting high DPI and the general push towards Linux and Mac with the failure of Windows 8 we can finally start to see high DPI non-Apple PC displays become standard.
Huh? Surely what's holding us back is that there aren't any high-DPI desktop displays actually available to buy, nor is there yet a cabling standard capable of transmitting (for example) 4K images.Originally Posted by Vash63
Been around since 2006. I've had monitors with it personally for 3 years now. No, the reason Windows is holding us back is because no display manufacturer is willing to make a panel for the PC market that Windows does not support, and Windows on a high-DPI panel is a horrible experience. Especially WinXP, which still has considerable market share and until recently was still #1.
Or do you really think Apple has some secret ability to make high DPI panels for Macbook Retinas that the entire monitor industry doesn't? Apple doesn't even manufacture their own panels. Clearly, it's the OS that's holding us back.
No no, of course not. As you say, Apple don't make the panels (although they do buy up most of the capacity of many of their components, so the rest of the industry is locked out practically).Originally Posted by Vash63
But we're talking about different things. Laptop-sized panels obviously exist, but to my knowledge desktop-sized panels with these sorts of resolutions do not (except for the prototypes that get shown at CES every year but never seem to amount to anything). Even if they do exist, there certainly aren't any complete displays actually available to buy. You might be right that all this is due to a lack of support from Microsoft, but that is conjecture and it isn't obvious that this is the reason. I personally think it is much more likely that the extremely high cost of these displays would make them a non-starter. Ignoring Windows entirely, I cannot imagine there wouldn't be demand from Mac owners if these were available for anything resembling reasonable money.
I stand corrected about DisplayPort; I didn't know that v1.2 (which has not been around since 2006) had so much bandwidth. Very cool.
Regardless of the specific spec, they could always use multiple cables like some 3D displays do with using two DVI-D DLs to make 4 links. I really do believe that if the market was there for high resolution displays it could have been done before now. I find it hard to believe we have really been stuck at around 100PPI for so many years without progress.
And I'd be willing to bet money as proof that the first retina class desktop display also comes from Apple, not due to technical ability but due to their entire market having an OS and app platform that can handle it properly.

GSA, Treasury try to breathe new life into SmartBUY
Monday - 11/12/2012, 3:52pm EST
The General Services Administration and the Treasury Department are trying to reinvigorate the SmartBUY initiative, yet again.
GSA and Treasury issued a request for information Nov. 8 asking vendors to answer 10 questions about how to improve the enterprise software licensing initiative, known as SmartBUY. The RFI is part of a plan is to move SmartBUY under the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative.
"FSSI SmartBUY has gained support from a software advisory team consisting of agency representatives that comprise over 80 percent of the total federal spend on commercial off-the-shelf software," the RFI stated. "The management of federal IT software spend currently is a laborious process for government agencies that involves complex purchasing procedures for both agencies and vendors."
The RFI marks at least the third attempt to get agencies to use SmartBUY. Less than a year after it first launched, GSA changed the program to be more flexible to meet agency needs. Then in 2004, after a year into the program, GSA tried to focus on agency-specific needs instead of the applications that were used widely across agencies, and offered agencies the ability to request a waiver to buy software outside of SmartBUY.
GSA also started working more closely with the Defense Department's Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) in 2005.
SmartBUY has struggled with widespread adoption
The Office of Management and Budget launched SmartBUY in 2003, but it has struggled over the years to get widespread adoption. The program includes 38 different contracts for popular software titles such as Oracle, VMWare and Symantec. But despite the assortment of options, agencies have not flocked to the program.
The Navy, for example, is developing enterprise software licensing deals for 15 of its largest applications on its own after deciding SmartBUY didn't meet its needs.
OMB reported in the fiscal 2008 agencies could save about $100 million a year through SmartBUY. There has been little mention of the program and its potential for savings since then.
Among the questions the new RFI asks industry to comment on are:
- What suggestions do you have to help improve efficiency in awarding a blanket purchase agreement?
- What major administrative hurdles do you see that prevent contracting efficiencies between agencies and yourself?
- What terms in a BPA would help lower your internal costs?
- Based on your experiences, do you believe the role of software maintenance services will change as the federal IT budgets constrict?
Vendors have until Dec. 11 to respond.
Part of broader push on strategic sourcing
Moving SmartBUY under FSSI is part of the administration's efforts to push for more strategic sourcing. The Government Accountability Office in October found agencies are missing the opportunity to save billions through consolidating contracts.
Joe Jordan, the administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, also said last month he wants to move 10 more common products and services under FSSI, and GSA will lead contracting effort. OMB is considering making the use of strategic sourcing contracts mandatory.
Additionally, draft legislation from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, also would try to strengthen FSSI by the creation of a Federal Commodity Information Technology Acquisition Center to coordinate the buying of commodity IT products to get the lowest cost possible.
Issa also is calling for a governmentwide spending analysis on software products or services to support decisions for strategic sourcing under the federal strategic-sourcing program. OMB also would be required to identify and assess the use of commodity IT in agencies and create a uniform classification system for commodity IT within 180 days of the bill becoming law.
There is growing concern about the impact strategic sourcing will have on small businesses and whether it really saves the government money or limits competition so agencies end up spending more money.
