Questions & Answers
I have been looking for over 6 months for a beautiful King bed with a foot board. This looks just perfect and the reviews were very informative and helpful in making my choice.
this bed comes with slats? It says box spring is required?
Hello nycanna28, this is a panel bed. A box spring is required. Thank you for shopping with us!
Why is this bed 10 inches wider than the mattress? A king mattress is only 76 inches wide. How wide is the opening for the mattress and boxspring? I do not want extra inches between the boxspring and rails.
Hello tarheel91, Thank you for inquiry! The measurement for the king headboard is 82 3/4 inches. However, the frame is slightly smaller, so it will fit your king size mattress. We will be updating our page with the updated measurements. I hope this helps! Happy shopping!
Can I use a pillowtop mattress and box spring that measure 23" deep?
Yes, but the mattress will sit higher than the footboard.
is it shown with a mattress and box springs or just mattress? I like a higher bed than it appears to be in the pictue.
It''s unclear whether both are used in the picture. The height of your bed will depend on how tall your mattress and box spring are and whether you are using a box spring. Choosing a tall/thick mattress and box spring will increase the height of the bed.
Can the footboard, slats and rails be purchased separately from the headboard
Unfortunately, these pieces come as a set only.
How sturdy is the frame? Can it take kids jumping daily?
This item is sturdy, however it is not recommended it is jumped on. If item broke because of it, it would not be returnable.
I have a cal-king box spring and mattress. Will this size fit in this bed frame?
We are sorry to say, this particular bed wouldn''t fit that size.
Can I order a king headboard only without footboard and rails?
I'm so sorry to say I'm not seeing we're offering the headboard exclusively for this item. I'd recommend keeping an eye on this as it may change in the future on our site.
what pieces come with this bed?
This is a full panel bed, so this item comes with the headboard, footboard, frame, and slats.

How to Move King Beds
When you're moving to a new residence, king beds are often some of the last items you want to pack, but moving king beds doesn't have to be an excruciating ordeal.

Best Reasons to Have a California King Bed
Similar in size to a standard king bed, a California king bed is four inches longer, allowing a lot of extra room top to bottom. A California king bed measures 72 inches wide and 84 inches long, and a standard king mattress measures 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, so while a California king mattress is four inches longer, it is also about four inches thinner than a standard king bed. Making a decision between the two might be difficult. Ultimately, both are great options, but there are a few conditions that might make a California king size bed the clear choice. Before you pick which king mattress is right for you, here are a few of the best reasons to choose a California king bed.

In the face of so many daunting near-term challenges, U.S. government and industry are letting the crucial strategic issues of U.S. competitiveness slip below the surface. Five years ago, the National Academies prepared Rising Above the Gathering Storm, a book that cautioned: "Without a renewed effort to bolster the foundations of our competitiveness, we can expect to lose our privileged position."

If you've been longing to learn shuttle tatting, or looking for a new craft that's fun, inexpensive and portable, this is the class for you. Marilee's warm and expert instruction will guide you through the tricky parts and send you on your way to creating lacy jewelry and tatted embellishments for quilts, paper crafts and more. You'll learn the basic lark's head knot and double stitch and how to create lace patterns with chains, rings and picots. Marilee shares pattern-reading skills and discusses where to find vintage patterns. She also helps you avoid or fix common mistakes. As a bonus, you'll learn a few more techniques: reverses, joins and beadwork, node stitch and floating and split rings. Use the skills you've learned to make little flowers and butterflies, floret earrings, a classic-edge bracelet, the beaded Rhapsody necklace and parfait snowflakes!
Meet Marilee Rockley, who will show you how simple and beautiful shuttle tatting can be!
"I had never heard of shuttle tatting before I saw an advertisement of the 'shuttle tatting course'. I decided to take the course. Not only were the designs beautiful, it was also going to be a challenge to do something I've never done before. ... The course is designed to teach you the basic techniques step by step. The techniques were well-spaced throughout each lesson. Marilee Rockley always commented on all of my designs and always encouraged me. A very wide variety of techniques are covered in this course, which makes it possible to use patterns of all kinds. This course took someone that had never heard of shuttle tatting before and made it possible to enjoy tatting all kinds of patterns. I recommend this course to everyone."

UCAN needs your support
Dear Reader,
You are why we do what we do - report, describe, comment, review. It is to bring to your eyes just what life is like for believers across Asia that we publish UCAN.
But as you know, the effort needs to be sustained if it is to have continuing effect.
UCAN publishes some 150 stories a week in four languages across six websites. We are grateful to benefactors in Europe and the US who support us. But those countries and the Church there are under increasing financial strain and their generosity no longer covers our costs.
We need financial help from our readers to sustain our efforts. Our reporters, editors, video producers and photographers all have families and we need to support them. They do excellent jobs, but they can't do their jobs for nothing.
Will you help us to sustain UCAN? Please click here to help.
Thanks in anticipation.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director

Situation |
Dar Crsytal offers extraordinary scenery a few hours away from European capitals. A short twenty minutes after arriving at Marrakech Airport (Marrakech Menara), you arrive at Dar Crystal. Guarded parking 300 meters away. Dar Crystal is only 5 minutes from the souks and 10 minutes from the Jamaa El Fna square, nestled in the heart of the medina, close to the Palaces Bahia and Badii. Dar Crystal is also close to the Synagogue, the large covered market, Place of metalworkers, the museum?? and first souks (the jewelry souk, fabric souk or the spices'). The guesthouse is also 10 minutes away from golf courses (Royal Golf, Golf Amelkis Atlas Golf Resort, Golf El Maiden), as well as Marrakech is at 1:30 away from the ski slopes of Oukaimden. Once you cross the busy city, you pass the gate of Dar Crystal and will be surprised what you discover. Once threshold passed, you have no idea yet what is waiting for you behind the doorway of the entrance... Morocco is a country of wonderful contrasts and Dar Crystal is a perfect illustration: When silence returned after leaving the hustle and bustle of the souks, you will feel so protected behind the walls. On the patio, the white lime contrast with the green palm and other plantations or the freshness of the fountain and the swimming pool with heat of the sun. |

As luck would have it, i'm out of Poly O, and it's too hot to mail order this week, and my local store was out of Calabro, and in it's place....Belgiogioso. The Bel-G was 6.99 and the Calabro was 8.99 , so I hope it isn't the reason they made the switch.My 2 cents...the Bel-G has more water content than Poly or Cal.Out of the package, tastier than Poly, but not great.....not even close to CalIt reminds me of what is served with a Caprese salad, at a mediocre restaurant.On the pizza....it congealed soon after taking it out of the oven, and turned rubbery quickly.It's possible that letting it dry out, or not cooking it in hot wood oven might produce better results, but for my future use, I'm passing on "America's favorite".Perry

This is a great front and back cover. The front protector is matte and very smooth. The back is of lower quality I can tell as the application was more difficult. However, both sides work perfect for avoiding scratches. I have had no problems with it! Great protector and cheap!

Benefits of Using a Travel Backpack When Traveling
Travel backpacks offer a number of benefits for all types of travelers and may be an attractive alternative to larger tote bags, duffel bags and miniature suitcases. Whether you're traveling with a backpack over a long distance or traveling by plane with a small backpack as a carry-on, use a travel backpack designed with extra compartments and tight-fitting, portable style to ensure a comfortable travel experience. Easy to stow and store: The design of a travel backpack makes it easy to store it in overhead bins in a bus, train or airplane. The soft sides of a backpack let it conform to tight storage spaces. Many travel backpacks have compression straps that let you cinch the packs contents down to take up less space. Comfort: Travel backpacks put less strain on your body than most other kinds of luggage because their weight doesn't pull on one side of your body. Travel backpacks are designed to evenly distribute their load on your shoulders and hips, making them easy to carry for several hours. Thick straps with lots of padding make it even more comfortable. Keeps travelers organized: Many travel backpacks are designed with several compartments to store smaller items, such as water bottles, a cell phone, MP3 player, PDA, passport and subway tokens. This makes it easier to stay organized while traveling, ensuring that all your basic items and accessories are within easy reach. Easy to move around: Probably the biggest benefit of using a travel backpack is the ease of movement it provides. You don't have to worry about dragging a rolling suitcase up a flight of stairs. A travel backpack is also easier to maneuver through a crowd of people than most other types of luggage. Protects items from the elements: Many travel backpacks are made with water-resistant and waterproof fabrics that protect your valuables no matter what the weather forecast may look like. Travel backpacks made with polywick fabric, ballistic nylon and other weatherproofing materials are especially beneficial for travelers who will be outdoors for most of their trip.

What to Pack for Africa's Highest Peak
Imagine that you are planning a trip that will take you from the equator to Antarctica in seven days. Now imagine that you have to limit the amount of gear you pack to 35 pounds or less. The task is getting more complicated. What kind of luggage would you choose and how would you pack for a trip that encompasses such extreme changes in climate and altitude? When Erica Davis, a paraplegic athlete, and Tara Butcher, a physically challenged athlete, climb Africa's highest peak, they will have to answer exactly those questions. The challenge: Mount Kilimanjaro rises from nearly sea level all the way up to 19,330 feet. The trail climbs from the hot bushland through rain forest, moorland, alpine desert and arctic glaciers up to the rocky Uhuru peak. A climb like Mt. Kili presents special challenges when it comes to luggage, clothing and gear. Being prepared for the weather and temperature extremes is a necessity, but it's also important not to pack too much. There is a 35-pound weight limit to each piece of luggage carried by a porter. Most climbers pack one 35-pound capacity bag to go up with a porter and one small daypack to carry up themselves. The daypack: Erica and Tara will have 7 days to summit Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro. As they pass from one ecological zone to the next, their needs will change and so will the contents of their daypacks. Each day Erica and Tara will repack their daypacks in anticipation of the specific challenges of the day's journey. In general, their daypacks will include things like water, snacks, dry clothing, waterproof gear and sunscreen. The importance of keeping clothing and gear dry cannot be overstated. When choosing a daypack, a small to medium backpack made of lightweight, moisture-resistant material that comes with a removable waterproof shell will be ideal. It's also helpful if the backpack has convenient access to a water bottle compartment or can accommodate a water bladder. Plenty of pockets, zipper compartments and hooks are also handy. What to pack: A sturdy but lightweight water-repellant duffel bag with a capacity of about 35 pounds is ideal for the trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The bag needs to have room for plenty of layers of breathable, moisture-wicking clothing and layers of fleece clothing, as well as a waterproof layer. To save space, it's a good idea to pack clothing that does double duty, such as pants that easily convert into shorts. Aside from clothing, the climb will also require accessories like sunglasses, hats and gloves, plus equipment like trekking poles and a headlamp, as well as toiletries like sunscreen, insect repellent and a first-aid kit. Support the Challenged Athletes Foundation: Overstock.com and the C.H.E.K Institute are co-sponsoring Erica and Tara's climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in order to raise awareness for athletes with physical challenges who wish to participate and compete in sports. Portions of the proceeds will benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). CAF raises funds to give physically challenged athletes the opportunity to stay active and competitive in the sports they love. To show your support for physically challenged athletes like Erica and Tara, donate now to the Challenged Athletes Foundation for the Fit 4 Kili Climb.

How to Extend the Life of Your Cell Phone

Best Vitamins for Fighting Fatigue
If you're feeling fatigued, your diet may be to blame. A lack of the proper vitamins can leave you tired, even after a good night's sleep. If you find yourself struggling to keep your energy up throughout the day, then you might consider adding vitamins and supplements to your daily routine. Adding vitamins and supplements to your diet can help you fight fatigue and feel more energized. Vitamin A. Vitamin A is an anti-stress vitamin. If your body can't deal with stress properly, you tire quickly. Vitamin A maintains the health of skin, plus the mucous membranes lining your digestive tract, bladder, mouth and lungs. Vitamin A also aids in the production of T cells, which improve your immune system. When your immune system is healthy, you feel more energized. In addition to supplements, you can get more vitamin A by consuming more eggs, spinach and mangos. Vitamin B. Vitamin B is best when taken in the form of a B complex, which includes folic acid, B6 and B12. Vitamin B helps regulate hormones and metabolism. Getting enough vitamin B helps your body efficiently process food and turn it into energy. Vitamin B can also improve your mood. Vitamin B is especially helpful in treating pre-menstrual fatigue and mood swings. B-complex vitamins and fish oil capsules can help your body get enough vitamin B. You can also find high levels of vitamin B in meat, lentils and potatoes. Beer is also a surprising source of vitamin B, though alcohol can limit the body's absorption of vitamins, so consume alcohol in moderation. Vitamin C. Vitamin C is crucial for maintaining your immune system and fighting viruses. Infections, even those unapparent to you, can cause fatigue as your body uses energy to fight them. Vitamin C is also helpful for iron absorption. Because iron deficiency, or "anemia", can result in fatigue, vitamin C is an important part of an energy-packed diet. Fruits and fruit juices are high in vitamin C, as are a wide range of vegetables. Vitamin C supplements are also a great way to get enough vitamin C. Vitamin E. Vitamin E is an important antioxidant, which means that it limits cell damage throughout the entire body. Vitamin E is also necessary for a healthy immune system. Supplements and multivitamins containing vitamin E can boost energy, and vitamin E can also be found in nuts, wheat germ, fruits and vegetables. NADH. NADH is a coenzyme. NADH aids in breaking down food and converting it into energy. If you're lacking NADH, fatigue is often a symptom. In addition to supplements, NADH can be found in fish, poultry and meat. Gingko Biloba. Gingko biloba is an extract from ginkgo leaves. Ginkgo biloba is often used to increase energy levels because it has been shown to increase blood flow in the body. Ginkgo biloba is also an antioxidant. You can find ginkgo biloba supplements or purchase teas and other drinks and specialty foods that are infused with the plant.

During South Africa's apartheid regime townships were established as dormitory suburbs for black laborers who came to the cities from rural areas. Prior to 1994, these townships were not only the center for the fight against apartheid, but one of the most visible symbols of its brutality. A legacy of under-development during this era meant that few townships had decent infrastructure, education facilities or reliable essential services. Poverty, overcrowding and oppression were all daily burdens. Despite incredible changes in South Africa since then, millions still live in townships today. In recent years, tourism has overtaken gold as South Africa's top foreign exchange earner. In an effort to get a taste of the "real South Africa" increasing numbers of visitors are doing tours of the townships made famous during the apartheid struggle. A booming industry has developed around this type of tourism. Touring a township is an eye-opener, at once hugely depressing but at the same time an uplifting testament to the resilience of the human spirit. The aim of these tours is to highlight the plight of a massive sector of South African society that was, and still is, grossly underprivileged, as well as to begin to break down the negative stereotypes that cloud images of the townships as being dirty, depraved and crime ridden. Despite their good intentions though – these tours have been criticized as making a voyeuristic theme park out of poverty - invading the privacy and crushing the pride of its residents.

Lucas Radebe described his attendance at the games as follows:
"Attending the Special Olympics World Games was an incredible experience for me. As a sportsman I was truly impressed with quality of the sport that I witnessed, and as a person I was completely inspired by the courage and determination of the athletes. Special Olympics is an extraordinary example of the power of sport to break down barriers and to create unity and inclusion. I am proud to be a supporter."In what was the largest multi-sport event in 2011, everyday odds were defied, victories were won, personal bests were achieved, and athletes from more than 170 countries showed the world what it means to play unified, and live unified.

text: Dear supporter of the anti-war movement, Thanks to all who donated to support the veterans-led action at the White House last Dec. 16. Now, we need your help to bring young Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans to Washington, D.C., to participate in the March 19 action. In March 2003, I was sent by the Bush administration to Iraq as a soldier in the U.S. Army. I was 19 years old. Little did I know that my life would never be the same again—nor would the lives of millions of others. Now, almost eight years later, nearly 5,000 U.S. troops have died. Over 32,000 have been maimed. Over 1 million Iraqis have perished. An entire generation of young soldiers and Iraqis has been psychologically traumatized. Like countless other soldiers, I came home angry, with the desire to fight back—to end the criminal wars in which we took part, to halt the drive of the war machine, and to hold accountable the government that sent us to die and destroyed the lives of millions, all for profit. We have now dedicated ourselves to building the anti-war movement. But we need your help. We, who fought in Iraq, find it intolerable that George W. Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld, can go around the country making millions off of their book deals and vapid speeches while thousands of young veterans live life on one leg or no leg, missing arms and eyes, brain trauma and a lifetime of trauma-induced emotional and psychological problems from engaging in a criminal war of aggression. We Iraq war veterans joined thousands of other people last week sending a letter to Eric Holder demanding that the Attorney General take action to prosecute Bush and company for their crimes. This is real grassroots democracy in action. We are fully committed to spreading the message of the Indict BushNow movement and we will bring this message to D.C. when we join with other veterans and people of conscience in less than two weeks on the 8th anniversary of when we landed in Iraq. On March 19, the 8th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, many thousands across the country will be marching against the wars. In Washington, D.C., there will be a massive veterans-led civil resistance at the White House initiated by Veterans for Peace. People from all over the country are joining together for a 12 noon rally at Lafayette Park, followed by a march on the White House where the veterans-led civil resistance will take place. You can make the difference The voices of anti-war veterans are essential. We hope each of you will try to join us in Washington, D.C., one week from this coming Saturday. With your help, many young veterans were able to participate in the Dec. 16, 2010, veterans-led civil resistance action at the White House. Financial contributions from you and others made the difference. Because of that action's success, many more young veterans from across the United States are anxious to participate, but they can only do so with your assistance. If you donated in December, please consider donating again today to make March 19 even more significant. If you have yet to contribute to this movement, we urge you to contribute now. You can help make March 19 the most profound statement yet against wars of aggression and demanding that elected officials who swore to uphold the Constitution be held accountable for the commission of war crimes and torture and deceit that has resulted in so much death and destruction. Thank you for your support. Michael Prysner Co-founder, March Forward! All active news articles

by Dave Bar Rock your headphones Great headphones are like race cars they need high-octane fuel to perform their best. If you're driving your 'phones straight off of your PC or stereo system's headphone output, you could be missing out on a lot of music enjoyment. That's because computer and audio manufacturers frequently use low-cost, low-performance circuitry to power their headphone jacks resulting in thin, lifeless sound. NuForce's HDP solves the problem by employing high-current, low-distortion amplification designed especially for headphones. This pint-sized powerhouse lets you make the most of your headphone investment by rendering your tunes with richer, deeper bass, clearer highs, and explosive dynamics. Cool features for a top-notch compact audio system The HDP is more than just a great headphone amp. You're also getting a high-quality digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a stereo preamplifier, all in a single compact component you can use as the centerpiece of a killer desktop audio system. The HDP's sophisticated DAC can accept digital music files from your PC via USB bypassing your computer's built-in soundcard for a far more exciting listening experience. You'll hear layers of musical nuance previously obscured by the noisy environment inside your PC reverberations echoing in a concert hall, or the natural decay of an acoustic guitar chord. On good recordings, every instrument and vocal will stand out clearly and distinctly in its own separate space, allowing you to follow each one note-for-note. It's audio detail at the molecular level. Versatile connections for your music sources You can connect multiple music sources to your Icon HDP: Input #1 gives you three different ways to hook up components. Its coaxial digital input is ideal for connecting a CD player and taking advantage of the HDP's high-performance DAC for better sound. Then there's a stereo minijack, which accepts the headphone output from your smartphone or MP3 player. This input also doubles as a 3.5mm optical digital input for connecting components with optical out, such as some computers. Nuforce even includes a Toslink optical to 3.5mm mini optical adapter for your components that use a full-size optical digital out. Input #2 is a pair of RCA jacks, ready to take on an iPod® dock or other audio components with line-level output. Input #3 is a type B USB jack, which feeds the output of your computer into the Icon HDP's onboard digital-to-analog converter. This lets you bypass your computer's soundcard to enjoy much higher resolution audio. A pair of high-quality, gold-plated RCA outputs lets you connect the Icon HDP to an amplifier of your choice for a full-blown audio system, or a pair of amplified speakers for a high-end, compact desktop stereo. Easy to set up and use Operation is simple just plug the NuForce into any USB port on your computer, where it will automatically install itself and be ready for use in a matter of seconds.

No improvement at all Written By Pangtju, Los Angeles on Sunday, October 06, 2013 I compared listening thru my Sony Studio quality headphone direct from the headphone jack on my 12 years old Sony Home Theater amplifier and through the NuForce Icon HDP connected direct to the output from my Pioneer Elite DVD player, I was listening to Diana Krall SACD,the sounds coming out from my old Sony Home theater amplifier is much richer in hi frequencies and bass and midrange, and I consulted Crutchfield team, and the team said it is obvious that a processed sound from home theater amplifier will produce much better improved sound. I was kind of disappointed to buy this product after hearing so many inputs that the NuForce Icon HDP is such a very good product. Pros: None Cons: Sounds is dull compared to what I used to listen from my hometheater amplifier direct headphone jack.
Great Deal! Great Sound! Goes PERFECT w/ Senn HD650s Written By pohlevj, Little Falls, NY on Thursday, December 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) To start off I want to let everybody know that I have been a true audiophile for many years. I've had several home and car audio setups that I have spent a lot of money on over the years and I am confident when I say that I know good sound. I recently purchased a premium set of headphones for home use (Sennheiser HD650s). When i received them I used them with my home theater's headphone jack and they sounded fantastic! but when i plugged them into my computer they just bottomed right out! they had no guts to them... no oomph! They lacked the power and clarity that they are supposed to have when ran properly. After speaking with a Crutchfield representative I decided on purchasing the Nuforce Icon HDP headphone amp. Let me tell you what... this headphone amp makes such an incredible difference with ANYTHING you listen to. Whether its rock, rap, country, jazz, you name it. As a matter of fact I feel that these two items go incredibly well together, like they were almost made for each other. And since it is a headphone amp, DAC, and preamp all in one, I sometimes hook it up through my home theater system to give it even more power! I highly recommend this item to anyone who is looking to power those high-impeded headphones the RIGHT way and not just settle for your computers stock headphone jack...believe me, this thing makes a world of difference and is totally WORTH the price. After all, a $500 pair of cans deserves a $500 amp, don't you agree? Pros: Powers up to 600 ohm headphones extremely well. Goes perfect with the Sennheiser HD650s. Extremely versatile headphone amp that also acts as an external computer DAC and preamp. Several connectivity options, including optical, coaxial, and RCA in and outs. Small and lightweight, but feels and looks very solid. Comes with a white silicone stand and looks GREAT with any setup you choose to incorporate it into. Cons: A little on the expensive side, but totally worth it when you look at what you are getting for the price you're paying. Do some homework on headphone amps and DACs and you will see very quickly that this headphone amp is a great piece to add to your setup. Sure, there are ones out there that are the next level up, but they are well over $1000. The Nuforce Icon HDP is perfect for anyone! Whether you are an average listener, or a true audiophile, you will absolutely love this product by Nuforce!
NuForce Icon HDP Written By Gerald, Boston MA on Saturday, May 26, 2012 This was was a remarkable addition the my audio equipment. Before I purchased the NuForce Icon HDP I didn't get much satisfaction listening to MP3 files and I listened to mostly vinyl LP records when I was at home. It was purely a listening convenience that was used as an out of the house on the go type of arrangement for me.The music lacked so much depth until I hooked this little baby up to my Sennheiser HD-650 headphones and ran my iPod Classic through it. Now I listen to my iPod and iPhone a lot more at home. The sound is is amazing, vocals are clear and each instrument can be easily singled out and heard the way it's supposed to be. If you plan to listen eo your music collection using MP3's or other compressed sound files through either a portable player or over you computer than you can't go wrong with the NuForce Icon HDP in fact you owe it to yourself to hear what you've been missing. I will be purchasing a portable headphone amp next for my on the go solution. Pros: Clear rich sound. USB DAC hookup sound is amazing. You MP3 Player never sounded so good. Cons: None other than a little pricey but worth every penny.
ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Written By KYFHO69, Misawa, Japan on Friday, May 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am using the Nu Force HDP with a pair of PSB M4U 2 Headphones (totally killer headphones BTW). The sound is unlike anything I have ever heard before! I have a $10K home stereo that doesn't sound as good as this. The music is much more dynamic and the details of each instrument are very easy to hear on each song. I know it's a cliché, but seriously I am hearing stuff I never heard in songs that I have listened to for 20 years. Strong bass, super clear mids and highs. I am using Audioquest cables for the analog and USB. I have played this with my PC as well as a Cambridge Audio ID100 via analog - outstanding sound! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to hear the best sound possible from their music. Yeah a One may think this unit is a little pricey, but I guarantee you it is a total bargain for what you get. Pull the trigger and enjoy yourself! Pros: Ease of use and absolutely fantastic sound. Cons: NONE
gods creation Written By derekB, Syracuse, NY on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product makes even cruddy youtube songs sound alive. The clarity is unreal, ZERO distortion. I can say that the combo of this bad boy and my hd 800s are UNREAL. music is transparent and soundstage is amazing. must have for a true audiophile!!! Pros: EVERYTHING Cons: NOTHING. maybe a litle to bulky thats about it
More than what you paid for Written By CDSc, Aurora, IL on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been into music and high-end audio for 22 yrs now and can say that all of the online reviews (look them up and see what I mean) and the ones below are accurate and spot on. This device is WAY beyond a great value. To most, 449.00 is too pricy. Only each individual can determine what's a 'great value' to them or not and they have to determine if spending this much is worth it. Would I recommend this to someone with a $50 boom box? No. However, for what its features are: headphone amp, DAC and preamp, it is OUTSTANDING! Sound quality, build quality and ease of use is great--especially the sound quality!!! The only thing that might slow some down is getting all of the settings on your computer correct for the DAC input. However, Crutchfield has a great staff willing to help out. PLUS: Nuforce's customer service is great, too. If your system can allow one to hear what this device can do, this thing is a steal! Highly Recommended!!! Pros: Sound quality! EVERYTHING is better: highs, mids, lows, detail, space, ease of listening, better delineation of everything on your recording (given your recordings are good), everything is smoother sounding with a greater amount of detail without being etched. If you're not used to real high-end gear, you'll hear things on your recordings that you never heard before. Build quality. Small size. Upgradable (check out other Nuforce products) Lots of gain to drive virtually any cans Cons: If you are a cave man with computers, let Crutchfield or Nuforce help you with the DAC part of it. Or, find online/youtube guides to help you.
Great product Written By dhmosquito, Rapid City, SD on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Since the only audio output on our HDTVs is optical-digital, I needed a means to convert to analog for headphone use for my wife while she works out on a treadmill. Though it's not cheap, this DAC performs perfectly. The sound is crisp and the device is well-constructed. Setup is simple with an optical cable. Thanks to Zac at Crutchfield for suggesting this unit.
NuForce Icon HDP Written By Steve Walker, New York, NY on Friday, February 11, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good thing to have connected to one's computer. It's a good DAC, and a decent headphone amp, too. I use it connected to my powered Audioengine A2s and my various headphones, including a pair of four figure cans. The sound is eons better than what I got from my stock soundcard (but that is a very unfair comparison). This is not a product I would use for my main rig, but it is not far off. The incredibly small footprint, and combo DAC/Headphone amp are perfect for a second system with one's computer. I am very pleased. Black background when quiet in b/w songs, and clear, crisp sound. I enjoy listening to tunes through the NuForce Icon HDP mucho. Highly recommended.
NuForce Icon HDP Written By MaryC, Lincolnton NC on Monday, January 31, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Puchased on recommendation of sales person to boost clarity and volume of TV audio headphones for father with severe hearing impairment. Substantial improvement over previously used stereo amp in clarity, limited improvement in volume. Kept.
Gorgeous Sound Written By Seattle Musician, Seattle on Monday, January 24, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wonderful sound and craftsmanship at a very reasonable price. I'm extremely happy with my purchase
Great portable amp Dac combo Written By Paul, New Jersey on Thursday, October 21, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

I had the Dennon Phones on this and they sound great the shure 530 sound great as well .

Marines killed in training were young, lives ahead
Thursday - 3/21/2013, 3:32am EDT
Associated Press
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) -- They're called "leathernecks" or "Devil Dogs," but some of the Marines killed in a desert training accident this week were just a year or so out of high school, their boyish faces not yet weathered by life's hardships
Just 19, Pfc. Josh Martino of Dubois, Pa., had already spent nearly half his young life dreaming of becoming one of "the few, the proud." He had joined in July and was hoping to marry his fiancee later this year before being deployed to Afghanistan, his mother said.
"Since he was probably 8 years old he wanted to be a Marine," Karen Perry said Wednesday after meeting with military officials to start planning her son's funeral. "That's all he wanted to do."
Lance Cpl. Josh Taylor, 21, also seemed to have been born for the Corps. The Marietta, Ohio, native had talked about being a Marine since he was about 5, said his grandfather, Larry Stephens. Josh, too, was planning for a wedding, scheduled for May.
Both young men were among seven members of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force killed late Monday when a mortar shell exploded in its firing tube during an exercise at Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada. Eight men were injured, some severely.
A decade after the invasion of Iraq and nearly 12 years since the United States launched the global war on terror, Americans have become wearily accustomed to the sight of flag-draped coffins being solemnly offloaded at Dover Air Force Base. But news of such loss on American soil, far from any foreign battlefield, has the power to shock.
During the past dozen years, barber Kenton Jones has touched the heads of many Marines and their family members. And they have touched him. Some of the men who've sat in his chair at Sharpe Cuts II -- just up a busy highway from Lejeune's main gate -- came home from the Middle East in coffins.
Staring out his window, he couldn't help wondering whether any of those killed or wounded in Nevada had come under his shears.
"During a time of war or whatever, the occupation ... you kind of expect it," he says. "But when it happens here, it seems senseless and it seems like a loss that could have been prevented."
Down the road in Jacksonville, Marine veteran Guy Henry Woods led out-of-state relatives on a tour of the Beirut Memorial, built to honor the 241 Marines, sailors and other American service members who died in a 1983 truck bombing that destroyed their barracks in the Lebanese capital.
Woods, 66, was wounded twice in Vietnam and spent time in a U.S. Navy hospital in Guam. Surrounded by curved glass walls etched with the names of the fallen, Woods said it mattered not whether these Marines died in an accident here at home or on a distant battlefield.
"They put that uniform on, they gain the same respect as anybody that's been to war," the grizzled 20-year veteran said over the sound of the dancing water in the memorial's fountain. "That's the way I personally look at it myself. I still respect them, and I sympathize with them for what happened."
The seven Marines killed ranged in age from 19 to 26. Some had served overseas; others were training for their first deployment.
While many had long dreamed of being Marines, some were already making plans for a life after the Corps.
Twenty-six-year-old Aaron Ripperda of Highland, Ill., joined the service after graduating from a St. Louis culinary school and finding the job market flat. His father tried to gently dissuade him.
"He told us he always felt like he had a calling to join the Marines," Kent Ripperda told The Associated Press from his home in Marine, Ill. "I guess maybe it was a prestige thing."
During a 2010 deployment in Afghanistan, Ripperda's mobile unit was responsible for transporting food to bases in the region, Justin Bergstrom, a fellow Marine, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in an email.
"He did talk about his cooking abilities," Bergstrom wrote. They joked about him being able to keep his fellow Marines fed.
Kent Ripperda said his son was eager to go back to college and "get on with his life."
Roger Muchnick, 23, who grew up in Westport, Conn., had already pulled one tour in Afghanistan and was thinking about returning to college after his enlistment was up, said his grandfather, Jerome Muchnick.
Muchnick played on the football and lacrosse teams at Staples High School and went on to play lacrosse at Eastern Connecticut State University, where he studied business. In a biography on the university's website, Muchnick said the one thing he would like to do before he died was "live," and that his most embarrassing moment was getting caught lip-synching in a school talent show.


text: Dear IndictBushNow supporter, The latest shocking revelation that the Bush Administration performed medical experiments on its torture victims has caused a new wave of outrage and a demand for criminal prosecution by the New York Times. Based on a newly released physicians report the New York Times is demanding that the "White House and Congress to investigate the potentially illegal human experimentation and whether those who authorized or conducted it should be punished." IndictBushNow and a wide variety of organizations are working non-stop to collect evidence on all of the Bush-era crimes, take testimony, organize public events and build global pressure. Please help this movement with your donation today. Here is the latest news: Following a six month long investigation a preeminent physician's organization has published a major report revealing that the Bush Administration carried out medical experiments on its torture victims. This is a gross violation of the Nuremberg Code that barred the use of medical experimentation on detainees, following the exposure of Nazi experiments during WW11. The Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) used public records showing health professionals worked under the supervision of the Central Intelligence Agency during interrogations of "war on terror" detainees after the 2001 attacks. PHR's new report, "Experiments in Torture: Human Subject Research and Evidence of Experimentation in the 'Enhanced' Interrogation Program," provides new evidence that CIA used doctors and other health care personnel and engaged in the crime of illegal experimentation on detainees who had been tortured under the direction of the Bush Administration. The "Experiments in Torture" report is the result of six months of investigation and the review of thousands of pages of government documents. PHR says it has been peer-reviewed by outside experts in the medical, biomedical and research ethics fields, legal experts, health professionals, and experts in the treatment of torture survivors. The purpose of the medical experiments during the Bush years was apparently to measure the effectiveness of particular torture techniques on the victims. This is an abomination. "Such acts may be seen as the conduct of research and experimentation by health professionals on prisoners, which could violate accepted standards of medical ethics, as well as domestic and international law," states the Physicians for Human Rights in a report it has now made public. "Not only are these alleged acts gross violations of human rights law, they are a grave affront to America's core values," the report said. "The CIA appears to have broken all accepted legal and ethical standards put in place since the Second World War to protect prisoners from being the subjects of experimentation," states Frank Donaghue, chief executive of the organization. Take action now! IndictBushNow joins in the growing call by many, including the Physicians for Human Rights, that the Obama Administration order "an immediate criminal investigation of alleged illegal human experimentation." The PHR also called for a probe of violations by the CIA of protections against human research experiments and for Congress to amend the War Crimes Act "to eliminate changes made to the act in 2006 which weaken the prohibition on biological experimentation on detainees." "In their attempt to justify the war crime of torture, the CIA appears to have committed another alleged war crime -- illegal experimentation on prisoners," said PHR leaders. We urge all IndictBushNow members to send another letter to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding a criminal investigation into Bush era crimes based on the new information that not only did they torture those who had been arrested or kidnapped but they violated international law by engaging in medical experimentation to further refine their torture techniques. Click here to send a letter today. Sincerely, All of us at IndictBushNow

I will preface this by saying that this is my first laptop, so I don't know what is normal for them. To start, I purchased this computer because I am due to undergo major surgery and wanted something portable that I could use for entertainment and general purposes while I was laid up and unable to sit at my desk. Originally I wanted all the bells as whistles, but am glad now that I purchased this model. I've had it for a month and am still in a steep learning curve. Compared to this my Old Betsy desktop is a Model T. It is VERY fast. I don't know if it is the Windows 8 or the increased RAM, etc. vs. Old Betsy, which, though it is not as large as some laptops out there, the HP with Windows 8 seems plenty fast to me. Downloads are installed with amazing speed. When you turn it on, it takes about 20 seconds to power on, at most. The Windows 8 can be VERY confusing. The instructions provided left something to be desired. What is frustrating is that if you even relax your hand, or inadvertently brush the pad ever so slightly, you will find yourself on another page entirely. It is very frustrating when you are working on a specific technical project and suddenly find yourself in Movie Reviews that you looked at yesterday with no idea how you got there. Maybe the touch pad is too sensitive, or maybe this is normal for laptops, I don't know. It will take getting used to, and I am not a techie by any means. If you are, then you should be fine. There is a steep learning curve. A word: I had it about four days when a spyware search engine calling itself Iminent, evidently originating in Paris, France suddenly appeared. I didn't down load it, it snuck in with an update for legitimate software.. It is pernacious and evil. Nothing could get rid of it. It was very disappointing that the new Norton malware/anti-virus pre-installed with the computer didn't catch it. Fortunately a friend's husband rode to the rescue and knew how to restore the computer to factory settings, which can be done on Windows 8.. He saved me $200, which is what the computer repair people wanted to charge me. I would recommend adding supplemental protection ASAP. Pictures displayed are unbelievably sharp and crisp. The Skype seems to work, though I haven't used it. There are features like My Room that I haven't gotten to yet--there are a lot of cool features that I'm sure I'll appreciate when I delve into them. The keyboard feels very good, the keys are raised, and not too stiff or sensitive. All numbers are in their usual place across the top as on a regular keyboard; there is no extra numeric pad. I never use it anyway, so I'm fine with it. If this is an important feature for you, you probably wouldn't be happy with this computer. All in all, the more I use it, the more I like it, and would recommend it to anyone who is willing to try Windows 8. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the issue with the touchy pad and the spyware issue.
