by Marshall Chase A receiver for fans of both digital and analog music You still have a turntable and maybe a cassette deck, but you're not living in the past. Your collection includes today's digital music formats as well. And this has made finding the right receiver a real challenge — until now. For years, Onkyo's stereo receivers have won raves from our customers for their terrific sound quality. The TX-8050 boasts 80 watts per channel of clean, high-current power to deliver a powerful sonic punch that's sure to satisfy. Sure, it has RCA inputs for your turntable and cassette deck but the '8050 also boasts a full complement of analog video and digital audio inputs. Plus it adds the connections you need for today's music sources. Give your iPod® a front-row seat A music library used to take two friends and a moving van to carry around. Now you can simply put it in your pocket. The TX-8050's front-panel USB port beckons your iPod to come hither. Its direct digital connection bypasses the iPods processing in favor of a 32-bit chip that can make your higher bit-rate music files sound closer to the original CD. Plus, you can download a free app that lets you use your iPhone® as a convenient Wi-Fi® remote with your connected receiver. Network- and Internet-ready Tap in to your home network and enjoy music stored on your PC through your main system, instead of through pint-sized computer speakers. And if you have a Wi-Fi® network, you can use the optional Onkyo USB adapter. Choose from thousands of Internet radio stations — or let PANDORA® Internet radio create a set of customized "stations" based on your own tastes. The TX-8050 streams SIRIUS/XM® Satellite Radio too. Finally — a not-too-bright idea You've seen it before. How could you not? Receiver displays so intense they could be used to warn ships at sea of potential hazards. Yet your living room is not exactly a craggy shoal. The TX-8050 display has three settings — normal, dim and dimmer. Now when you want to turn the lights down for atmosphere, your receiver will go as easy on your eyes as it does on your ears.

Onkyo TX-8050 Written By CFF, Illinois on Monday, May 04, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wonderful! It is a replacement for a much more expensive receiver, and the quality is outstanding. I was buying this as a gift and didn't know what receiver to buy. Received excellent and speedy advice from Crutchfield. The receiver came quickly and was well packed. So much easier than having to go to a store. I will probably order a turntable from Crutchfield next. Also, I found other reviews about this product helpful in making my final decision. Pros: Great sound for the money, and easy to set up with our other electronics. Definitely 5 stars. Cons: Non so far.
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By mike m, Summerfield, NC on Monday, April 27, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good product
Very pleased with this receiver Written By rjrjr, California on Sunday, April 26, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm very happy with this receiver. Great value for the price and quality. For the features this Onkyo receiver offers, I don't think anything else comes close for the price. Would recommend this product to anyone. The staff at Crutchfield was very helpful in answering my questions to narrow down the choices that would fit my needs. Pros: Features for the price Cons: No Dolby noise reduction
Nice receiver Written By Bri M, Pennsylvania on Saturday, April 11, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was replacing a JVC receiver I had since 1987. For a new receiver it sounds nice. I still love the retro sound that I can have an equalizer running thru the system but this receiver does a nice job with clarity. Nice having an Ethernet connection & a USB port. Pros: price, Ethernet connection, simple & easy Cons: not too many
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By L Lucas, Oklahoma on Wednesday, April 08, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love it. Easy hook-up. will do the will do the USB soon Pros: Love the bass with the speakers I have
Excellent, minor quibble Written By Anonymous, Milwaukee, WI on Monday, March 30, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Treble bias noted at first but seems to have resolved after break in. Very clean and natural sounding. Phono input works great and has similar volume to other inputs. USB input for iPod better option than a dock that can become obsolete if Apple changes output design. Issue: cannot listen to iPod through this receiver's headphone jack. See manual. IPod does not have the power to drive audiophile headphones to their potential.
Disappointing Written By Rod M, New York on Saturday, March 21, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound has treble bias, brilliance over complexity & depth. "Back" layers of sound sometimes muffled & unclear (eg, strings in loud brass passage). Sounds like high overtones are favored over lower overtones & fundamental pitch. Has more features than my old Fisher, but basic sound not as good. Pros: Remote control an advantage, sound better when music simple (eg, solo piano, small ensemble). Cons: Sound quality (see above). Like many Microsoft "upgrades," has more features, but performance of basic features not as good.
Nice receiver, but with a few quirks Written By Bill A, SE Minnesota on Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this to replace a working 13 year old basic Sony receiver just to gain the net receiver function. I did not want anything more than 2-channel conventional stereo. The fit, finish, and exterior quality seem to be equal to the Sony, though I miss the bass boost/loudness control. A mid-range control would be a nice addition. I would recommend it to someone else that's not extra picky, but if I were to buy another net-enabled receiver, I might look a little harder at the next more expensive group, including Onkyo. As for Crutchfield, they shipped it quickly at no extra cost. Pros: Clean styling; gradual volume change as knob is turned - takes more turns to make a big change; plenty of power for the average living room; plenty of inputs including mag. phono; Zone 2 outputs also work as extra line-level output; short power-on delay Cons: No Loudness Control; keeps disconnecting vTuner stations after an hour or so (does not happen when listening via computer); Net setup instructions are sketchy; seems to generate more heat than comparable receivers - even when in Standby, it's warm.
retro lives! Written By BOB, Albuquerque,NM on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this receiver for the 4ohm capability,the fm radio,and the sound of the amp. It is a very fine sounding amp with fm and the analog inputs. The treble is a little bright with my speakers but I can adjust it,,what a concept! The sound of the cd input is great with my dac and computer. I would have to spend 2 or 3 times the price to get a small,,and very small difference in sound quality! Very happy with the unit and as always,Crutchfield's reliable service. 4ohm speakers are not a bother to this nice receiver! Pros: Great sound for the money. 5 star rating! Cons: none for me
Pretty Good. Written By trenton, West Virginia on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It meets all of my needs. Before I got it I used my Yamaha rx-v475 in 2 channel mode putting out the same wattage and the Onkyo sounds better with the same speakers. Pros: Good power, good sound, and great value as I got it on sale. Cons: No HDMI port to use my Blu-Ray player to stream DSD/SACD.
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By Vince, Pennsylvania on Monday, February 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the money this receiver has a lot to offer. I have one of these already and use it in my room. I bought this one for my Son and he likes it a lot. Pros: Great bang for the buck Cons: None that I can see.
VERY Good at Many Things!! Written By Would buy again!, Connecticut on Saturday, January 31, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Read all the instructions! I was able to connect to internet, and PC for stored tunes. Good: sound is great! remote, tone controls, all great! Best feature: 'Pure Audio' button switches all other stuff off, like the display, and I can hear nuances in voices; recommend this !! Radio, phono input work fine..... connections are best with bananas. Instructions for PC interface need a tune up, since it takes some effort to learn it, oh well. Hence the 4 rating, else, a 5 star. Really. Listening to it now, a keeper. And I would definitely get this again. Crutchfield shops quickly. Packing is very good. Okay, changing it to 5 star... :) Pros: Controls, Display, Power, connections, phono input (yes turntable), Great unit!! No going back to my previous unit... Cons: Interface to PC, Internet radio is not easy...wish it would be easier, that's all, really, all else is great!!!
ONKYO TX 8050 Written By ChuckW, Lewisville, TX on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Well designed, easy to use, excellent quality. I purchased the Onkyo TX 8050 from Crutchfield about one month ago to replace an Onkyo 8011 after ten years of excellent service. I replaced the old unit because I wanted more power and went back to Onkyo because of my satisfaction with the 8011. I use it only to listen to CD's and the cd direct mode is an excellent feature. I recomend this product highly Pros: Well designed, easy to use excellent quality Cons: None that I have found
Great Inexpensive Receiver Written By Neil, Arizona on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit works great, is easy to use, has an input for my turntable, an optical input for my TV, RCA jacks for all my other old Onkyo decks and players. The FM tuner is greatly improved over my 30 year Onkyo Receiver that this unit replaces. I'm live in a remote area and I am are picking up stations I didn't know were there. Pros: price, performance, ease to use Cons: none
Onkyo tx-8050 Written By Steve, Saint Louis, MO on Sunday, January 25, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very clean and smooth sounding receiver. Has all technology for ipods, wifi, satalite radio and yet can still hook up a turn table. When using A and B speaker output you do mot staver the reciever for power like many other recievers when both outputs are used. Pros: A really great reciever for the price. Cons: I can't find any yet. Owned for 1 month
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By Tom C, Kona, Hawaii on Sunday, January 25, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Do not buy this unit! Mine only lasted about 26 months, then just quit working for no reason. Extremely disappointed! Pros: none Cons: This unit is garbage, suddenly quit working for no apparent reason. A waste of money. Crutchfield did not care to compensate me for the loss. Very disappointed with them...And Onkyo
Sick Written By Dj, Pennsylvania on Saturday, January 24, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just for you know... This receiver and my single pioneer speaker shake the house;) Pros: SICKKKK Cons: No Aux input
Nice Sound At a Nice Price! Written By McLou, Clayton, WA on Saturday, January 24, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm a few mouths into this stereo receiver and I must say it's a pretty nice sounding unit. At first, I wasn't overly impressed but still sounded great. I decided to pick up a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 40 Series II speakers. Very nice! All my music is located on my computer using FLAC files with the ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card. This is a decent sound card for playing music from your computer, it's geared towards stereo sound and does a great job with good software. Currently I'm using AIMP3 and Foobar2000. I have to admit the unit sounds great with the Polk Monitor 40's at low volumes. Once turned up the bass does roll off. Adding a Polk PSW10 sub woofer certainly solves that problem. If you're one that likes your furniture nailed down you may want to go with a bigger and more powerful sub but the PSW10 works very nicely with nice tight bass. Now, I decided to pick up another pair of Polk Monitor 40's! Oh yeah, even better! Seems to add a wider range to the music, big difference to my ears. The network stuff I don't use and couldn't care less, wish I dropped the extra 200.00 for the Yamaha R-S700BL. I'm sure in time I'll grab the the Yamaha but for now the Onkyo TX-8050 works just nicely! Oh, one more thing, these Polk Monitor 40's sound better and better as the days go by. Once broke in these speakers do perform very well for the person that likes to listen to music at normal volume levels. However, I do love my Sansui AU-717!! Pros: If you're looking for nice sound to play through your computer this unit works well! With some EQ magic and a few plugins, one can get a nice sweet sound! But as said above I love my Sansui AU-717. Cons: Only thing I didn't like about this unit was the USB Flash Drive. Although it works just perfect, it does lack many features! No Replaygain or Gapless playback. Not a big deal for me as I use my computer for all my music. Using ASIO works well for those that wish to use the hardware directly (sound card). I like to think of it as an enhanced source!
Excellent Receiver Written By Garry, Colorado on Friday, January 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only a couple of weeks experience with this Onkyo TX-8050 receiver, but so far extremely satisfied with every aspect of the performance. Easy to setup, and sounds great in the environment where it is located. Controls are straight forward and simple to use. We chose to pair this receiver with Polk TSi 100 bookshelf speakers and are very happy with the sound provided by this setup. Plenty of "punch" to the base so we haven't yet connected a powered base to the system. Pros: Good price. Easy to figure out connections, great modern looks, and simple to use controls. Cons: I have to agree with reviewer Jay L. Virginia when it comes to the instruction manual and user guide. Onkyo has provided very poorly written and difficult to easily understand directions and descriptions of the various aspects of setting up and operating this system.
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By Jay L., Virginia on Thursday, January 22, 2015 Very well packaged and easily configured. The only negative is the manual. It assumes a sophisticated audio owner with its terminology and is quite unclear on how to operate an ipod through the unit. Manuals should be written for the least knowledgeable user; this one was not. Having said that the receiver is excellent in quality and operation. Pros: Sound quality is excellent Cons: Manual could be better
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By mike B, Maryland on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great choice, I have this hooked up to push 3-sets of Polk audio ceiling speakers thru out the house and the sound is extremely clear. I installed the UWF-I and listen to Sirius XM via wireless internet connection and it works great, nice that it is Sirius ready, plus Pandora, rhapsody and much more Pros: plenty of ports additional equipment plus ethernet and usb, clear sound. Cons: haven't found one yet after two weeks
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By HankyS., Wyoming on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For a 2channel great expansion and sound quality nice to be able to control bass & treble separate like an equalizer. Pros: expansion, bass & treble controls Cons: Easily picks up interference so use good quality cables for devices.
Terrific Receiver Written By Joe, North Carolina on Sunday, January 11, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent Stereo Receiver, easy to set up, and a terrific Internet Radio. Pros: Plenty of ports to configure almost anything you own. ONKYO iPad App works great as a remote, Cons: No direct Apple Air Play
Couldn't Be Happier Written By Jack, Claremont, California on Friday, December 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As some of the other reviewers wrote, this is a replacement for an old Onkyo receiver. I was always happy with that receiver but I started having a few problems with it. This new one has features that didn't exist when I bought the old one: USB port, WiFi using a USB adapter, Bluetooth using a USB adapter and a digital optical connection for my CD player. It also has phono inputs for our turntable, which some of the new receivers don't have. I paired this receiver with a pair of Bose 201 speakers. This is a great combination - very clean sound. There is no sub-woofer but it really isn't needed, unless you really want the "boom-boom". The 201's, with the base on the tuner turned to about 3/4, provides just the right amount of base for my ear. Pros: All around great performance at a reasonable price. Cons: None that I have found.
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By Rich, the Washington, DC Area on Sunday, November 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the money, this is a great piece of equipment. It replaced a 20 year-old Onkyo receiver that was having some issues. Wanted a stereo receiver because the room is not organized well for an A/V receiver (Samsung soundbar from Crutchfield a few years ago for TV sound). Love the sound, and the inputs are very easy to select, especially using the remote. Highly recommend. Pros: Price Great sound Easy setup phono connection Cons: None
Great receiver Written By Risë, Concord, NC on Monday, November 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced a 30 year old Onkyo receiver with this one and absolutely love it. The reception is so good that I pick up stations I've never heard. The sound is excellent too. Having a second zone was my primary reason for getting a new receiver so that I could keep the outdoor speakers shut off or the volume low. I used my old receiver as the amp for zone 2 and it works great. This receiver is one of the best purchases I made in a long time and I'm very happy I did so. Pros: A+ quality at a very good price.
Expected more power Written By Fernando, Denver/CO on Thursday, October 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good equipment and extremelly friendly to install and use. Pros: Comprehensive manual, everything works well. Cons: I expected more power.
Awesome receiver! Written By Onkyo, Troy MI on Monday, October 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great service...great sound. Pros: Easy to hook up. Awesome sound. Cons: Lose signal occasionally. Could be my WiFi.
Shawn Dee. Written By Shawn Dee., Colstrip, MT. on Sunday, October 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great receiver for the money. Pros: Cost, quality, ease of use. Cons: Have not found any.
New receiver Written By NY Patrick, Yorktown NY on Wednesday, October 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Eureka! A new receiver that allows me to get my favorite FM station! It used to be 50,000 watts but now is just 600 watts, with a repeater station (closer to me) at about 250 watts. My old (Pioneer SX_6) was fine until the station changed frequency and reduced power. NOW, it's crystal clear, silent during silences and all of the other functions such as CD, tape and phono work just as well. Thanks, Onkyo and Crutchfield! I have not yet mastered the internet gadget but I will be working on it one of these days.
Excellent Written By M, Philadelphia on Sunday, October 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When I hesitated about buying a Yamaha receiver with a Yamaha CD player because sticker shock had become a big concern. The consultant said it's better to compromise on the receiver than on the CD player. That made sense to me, and I ended up with an excellent combination. Easy to set up, good looking, and does its job very well.
excellent receiver Written By JerryF, novi, michigan on Sunday, October 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I like everything about this receiver. The only con is that the am/fm tuner is not especially good at receiving stations further away from my location, unlike my previous stand-alone tuner. I have connected wirelessly to the internet. This connection has worked well, and I have added the radio stations I couldn't get strong enough signals from. Pros: Sound is excellent. Internet connection with my USB adaptor is working with no problems.
GREAT SOUND Written By MoneyMONK, Stt. Petersburg, Fl on Thursday, September 25, 2014 the Onkyo TX-8050 is a fabulous device..works great for everyone in my home. mulitiple choice Pros: GREAT SOUND Cons: No down side here..works great
great unit Written By Josh C, Houston, TX on Wednesday, August 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this unit for the connectivity - ability to connect to my turntable and also to digital sources i.e. my iphone. It was easy to set up right out of the box and sound quality seems excellent so far. The controls are very intuitive and I'm overall very satisfied. Pros: Easy to use, easy to set up right out of the box. Cons: None so far!
Great receiver for the money Written By Dave, Central NJ on Tuesday, July 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this receiver for its internet connectivity and sound quality. The sound quality is great and the tuner seems plenty sensitive with a decent antenna attached (not the tiny one that comes with it). It works with a large number of internet services, including siriusXM (14 day free trial included), vTuner, Pandora, Rhapsody, Last,fm, Slacker, Mediafly, and Aupeo. In addition, it can play from your ipod if you connect it to the USB port, and with the free app, it can play songs stored on your smart phone. The remote control is decent for what it is, but with so many features, the remote and the small front screen display aren't really enough (note that I don't have it connected to a TV - maybe it has on-screen menus that are better). So I primarily use the Android app to control it. A really nice advantage of the app is that I can keep the receiver in a closet completely out of sight. Unfortunately, the app is lacking. It has difficulty reconnecting to the receiver, and navigating is mysterious. For example, it has it's own "back" button that works differently from the one built into the phone. Sometimes it will show you what's currently playing and sometimes it won't. Either way, once you start playing an internet service, there's no way I've found to know which one you're currently using. So I'm knocking it down 1 star because of the app. Otherwise I'd give it a solid 5. Still, for the price, I can live with the app and hope that Onkyo makes a better app someday. Pros: Excellent sound, great internet connectivity. Cons: Very mediocre smartphone app for remote control.
Big Bang for your buck!!! Written By Joe, New York, NY on Monday, July 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great receiver for the price!! I hooked it up to the Bose 151 outdoor speakers and they pair perfectly! USB input is a great feature, easy setup and lots of options to play your music! Pros: Setup, price, added features and USB input.
Very Pleased Written By RS, San Juan, P.R. on Monday, July 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very pleased. Would recommend anytime to invest in this Product. Pros: very Simple to setup.
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By Odbmon, Knoxville, Tn on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The TX-8050 is a pleasant surprise. I was impressed by the internet option as well as the usb option which allows me to use my ipod. The sound quality is really great, and I am fully satisfied so far (have only owned it for two weeks). The TX-8050 is fairly easy to figure out and the manual is very helpful for things I can't figure out intuitively. Pros: Sounds great, fairly intuitive, has a host of audio options, not to mention the video options I have yet to explore. Cons: Bass is a little disappointing; especially when compared with the audio receivers of the past, which is why I rated the TX-8050 four stars instead five.
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By Susan P, Bascom, OH on Wednesday, July 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Even better receiver than our last Onkyo. Great sound and options.
Onkyo Written By R. T. J., Fair Lawn, NJ on Thursday, June 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Dollar for dollar and all around use this is one balanced and SOLID unit. Pros: EZ control access. The layout of the front panel is simple, visually satisfying without looking like something from NASA. (I'm not a rocket scientist!) Rear connection panel offers a complete selection in/output features. Cons: Hard to come up with any real difficulty on this unit.
Most excellent! Written By MK, Santee CA on Monday, June 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver does it all. It will even play flac audio. I give it my highest rating. As for Crutchfield they are still a first rate seller. Last time I purchased from them was in the 90's. Pros: Onkyo made it well and crutchfield has excellent customer service. Cons: there are no cons
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By GW, Hilo,Hi. on Saturday, June 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Clean sound, nice range, simple format. Works for me. Pros: Output exceed expectations. Cons: More input plugs .
Question the reliability Written By MarkP, Kansas City, MO on Thursday, June 12, 2014 I have owned this unit for 2-1/2 years. Overall, I am not unhappy with the functionality of the product. Streams music over my network and the internet successfully, plays FM and AM when I want it, sound quality is decent. A little unstable about staying connected to my network. It needs to be restarted periodically. My real beef is that it has now stopped working for no apparent reason. Have been through what remedies are available to no avail. To ship it to a repair facility in MI, pay the diagnostic fee and ship it back will be 1/2 the cost of new unit. By the time it is diagnosed and repaired, you could buy a new unit. I understand that electronics can be fickle. Just may want to consider another manufacturer besides Onkyo.
Perfect "no-frills" replacement Written By Art L, Syracuse, NY on Monday, June 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My high-end tuner of days gone by was in sorry shape. I did not need any of the tuners that feature multiple HDMI inputs and other digital features but could find nothing else until I checked Crutchfield. I am very pleased with the features the TX 8050 offers, its quality audio and its affordable price. Pros: Great features, including several audio settings. The USB adaptor well worth the extra price over the base model.Overall, well worth the cost. Cons: Awkward to use with the companion Network USB adaptor.
GREAT HIGH CURRENT SOUND Written By Patrick, Wyoming on Sunday, June 08, 2014 This unit replaces a 5 channel home theater system and it sounds great, despite having fewer watts per channel. It seems to work fine for movies, but it really shines when playing music which I do 95% of the time. The Pandora radio is a really nice feature with its commercial free music and it sounds excellent. The Pandora is a free service and so far, I haven't seen the need to access the paid radio services such as XM radio. Pros: Inexpensive price. Internet radio. music playback and quality sound. relatively easy set-up when running cable directly from router to back of receiver. Cons: AM and FM reception is not the best, but perhaps it has something to do with where I live. Sometimes the internet radio displays a false message that the internet server is malfunctioning, but generally exiting from the internet connection and then restarting it solves the problem.
big bang small buck Written By paull, hertford,nc on Saturday, May 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) exactly what I needed fit in place it had the right features for my small space Drew was most helpful in steering me to this unit Pros: plenty of volume fit right in with my existing equipment Cons: none
Can't go wrong. Written By Len E., Cape Coral, Florida. on Thursday, May 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was interested in the phono, CD. and tuner sections of this receiver. Teamed up with a H.K. turntable, At 440Ml cartridge a Onkyo DX 7555 Cd player and JBL Northridge Stadium speaker system. I have pushed this 80 watt receiver very hard risking the top end of my speakers. I was never disappointed at the lean music it delivered. After considerable listening time I have concluded this stereo receiver is what I would consider a great bang for the buck. I know there are better receivers that can be purchased. However. considering cost VS features and solid sound. You can't go wrong. Pros: Very solid bass. Clean sound. tuner is adequate. Lots of additional inputs. Cons: I have none to offer.
Excellent Receiver Written By Christopher M., Connecticut on Sunday, April 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) :Background: I primarily watch movies and also listen to music via my smartphone. After countless research and with the help of Crutchfield support I ended up purchasing the Onkyo TX-8050. :Listening Area: The room this receiver is installed in is approximately 12'x14'. The viewing distance for movies is around 8' and for the music it varies. :Setup: I connected an optical digital audio cable into the television; a subwoofer cable to my subwoofer; two speakers; the included FM antenna and the Onkyo UWF-1 Wi-Fi USB Adapter. TV: I have a Samsung 22" LCD television. Speakers: Infinity P153s. Subwoofer: Infinity Primus PS38. Smartphone: iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1. :Onkyo UWF-1 Setup: Due to character limitations, I took this section over to the UWF-1 section. Overall I love this accessory. :Sound Quality: Everything sounds fantastic for my setup. The max volume is 82. It has plenty of power and there has been no distortion whatsoever. It drives the Infinity speakers without any problems. :Other Thoughts: I used banana plugs to connect the speaker wires into the back of the receiver. I had no problems fitting the plugs into the terminals. The knobs feel great too, smooth turning. I hope I covered all basis. I didnt want to reiterate anything said on the product description page. I also wanted to be thorough as possible so that if someone has a similar setup that they might be able to relate and have this be helpful. Overall, I absolutely enjoy the TX-8050. Pros: Sound Features Wifi/Network option App integration Doesn't get too hot (with proper ventilation) Clean overall look Cons: Not crazy that you need a premium account to stream other online music services.
Onkoyo TX-8050 Written By SandyN, Fair Oaks, Ca on Sunday, April 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I did some research on this receiver, has great value . Does the job and puts out a very good sound. The sales technician said they had one that was an open box for less money. Got a good discount and couldn't find any marks on it. Very happy with the price. Came in 3 days, so easy to shop at Crutchfield. Technicians are intelligent and knowledgeable. Pros: Great value with very good output. Cons:
Best stereo for the money!Richard Written By Richard G, Salt Lake City, Utah on Monday, April 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent service, shipping on time, great technical help! Since the displays were digital unlike my old MA6100 MacIntosch, I had a few questions. All were answered in no time; the technician was polite and knowledgeable. I will deal with Crutchfield again! Pros: Courteous service, not rushed. Technician was very knowledgeable, checked specs on the internet, in short, I cannot say enough things complimentary about Crutchfield's service. Cons: None.
Onkyo TX-8050 Written By Anonymous, Fredericksburg, VA on Thursday, April 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product delivered next day
Pandora Hog Written By seadub, Washington State on Friday, March 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Streaming Pandora is great. Getting old with kids running around its too much work to make playlists much less actually throw in a CD, just turning on the 8050 and having Pandora automatically start streaming is awesome. Plenty of power to drive to sets of polk in wall speakers. Pros: Network integrated, sound, ease of use, clean lines Cons: doesn't babysit the kids for me
Great Receiver! Written By Meredith, Sikeston, MO on Friday, March 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy set-up and easy to control! Pros: Easy Set up
Onkyo tx-8050 Written By Sixty something, Madison, wi on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good sound reproduction, ease of use, perfect for someone who wants to be more contemporary without breaking the budget Pros: Multiple features, Internet connectivity, good sound reproduction, nice design Cons: Features easier to deal with from the remote is sometimes a bit inconvenient (I.e., where is it again?). Not a big deal.
Onyko Written By Anonymous, Bairdford, PA on Saturday, March 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good Basic 2 channel receiver. Pros: Easy setup. All you need for a 2 channel receiver with good power output Cons: One one USB port. No wi-Fi unless you use USB adapter. (Extra). Not Bluetooth comparable
Just Purchased Written By Scott B, California on Monday, February 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The receiver sounds great, but the sole reason for my purchase was to use my iPad to control Pandora via the advertised WIFI connection. I guess I should have gone on the Internet and read the reviews of this function and I would have realized it doesn't function at all. What a disappointment, here I have installed a sound system in my house based on using this unit to allow me to control music wirelessly and I'm back to plugging it in. It's not Crutchfields fault, its the Onkyo application that doesn't work. It opens then crashes. I'm not the only one, every review online states the same thing. I'm pretty bummed. Now I'm planning on scrapping this unit all together and going shopping again for one that has this feature that works. Totally disappointed. Pros: Good sound, quality construction. Cons: Wireless app does not function. Therefore, its just a stereo unit.
Nice equipment Written By NC Mountain Guy, Asheville, NC on Friday, February 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far have enjoyed ease of connections and use and very good sound quality, despite having two pairs of speakers with different ohm ratings. Use in 600sf space and fills room nicely.
Big plus for internet connection Written By firstname.lastname@example.com, south central WI on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 I've had this receiver for about 22 months. Network ready was the selling point for me. $$ also mattered at the time. I have this hooked up with PSB Stratus Bronze speakers. The mid and low bass lack definition and tend to sound a tad "muddled" although passable in my opinion. Perhaps that is why Onkyo include pre outs to connect a power amp. I picked up a gently used Parasound power amp rated at 125w/ch @ 4 ohms which matches the PSB's. The difference in the quality of sound is quite good. I'm not a bass freak, I just like it tight and well defined and the Parasound does the trick. For $299.95 and network ready this is a decent buy. I've bought from Crutchfield many times since 1978 and when it comes to customer service they are simply the best there is!. Pros: Network ready and pre out. Firmware update via network. Cons: Amplifier (somewhat)
Great flexibility and great value Written By Buddy, Atlanta, GA on Thursday, February 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love the large number of analog and digital inputs which allow a lot of flexibility for music, movies, or watching the game. It even has a phono input so I can play my old vinyl. The feature that sold me was the pre-out jacks which allow you to add an external power amp. No disrespect to onkyo, but I suspected the power amp section of a receiver at this price would be a little underwhelming and I was right. While it has plenty of power for most people and most speakers (it will even drive 4 ohm speakers), my man cave is a fairly large room and I have floorstanding speakers (PSB Alpha T1's) so I broke out my old NAD 320BEE and hooked it up as a power amp. The initial set-up was quick and easy. (Full disclosure: I have not yet attempted to use the internet based features which i hear can be complex.) I am a long time fan of onkyo equipment, and the 8050 certainly appears to have that onkyo build quality. It is heavy and solid, and all of the buttons and nobs operate smoothly. Bottom line: for the price, this thing has so many options, capabilities, and onkyo quality that I couldn't not buy it. Pros: Flexibility and connectivity plus Onkyo quality. Cons: None really. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the slightly underwhelming power.
Only I Written By Tj, Jersey on Thursday, February 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The receiver can not be beat for the money and the quality is outstanding another fine product sold by Crutchfield Pros: The amount of options you have with this reciever Cons: The dim lighting on front panel need to light up controls more
Excellent receiver Written By Rich, Palmyra, VA on Monday, January 20, 2014 This Onkyo receiver offers all of the options one would require for a perfect stereo system. I also especially like the ability to plug a thumb drive into the front panel. Stations lock in and hold with no drift. Very simple and straight forward operation! Pros:

REVIEW: A Good Day To Die Hard
Movie Trailer - A Good Day to Die Hard
Rating: R
Review form Derek Sante - Review Nation
Willis keeps bringing the bang for your buck!
John McClane (Bruce Willis) is back and ready to save the day. With the day in question belonging to his son Jack (Jai Courtney) who has fallen on bad times by being arrested in Moscow for murder. Making the trip to show his fatherly understanding, john is surprised to find out his estranged son is an undercover agent.
Ruining the family reunion is a Russian whistleblower, a well laid plan that falls apart and many heavily armed men with the McClane boys in their sights. And as everyone knows, "the family that dodges bullets together, stays together!"
While I could go deeper into the plot, I'm going to back off to save you some surprises. Truth be told, the story is pretty thin and formulaic in many respects. That isn't really an issue though because most people buying tickets are going for the character itself. Awaiting the "Yippee Kai Yay", the unbelievable odds and the smug smirk as Willis shares in the joke that he and the audience share, he's the star and the bad guys are going down.
As a side note, the action is pretty fun with some extreme stunts, car chases, explosions and gun fights. So feel free to indulge in this new chapter, you can always return to your high-brow artistic nature by watching the Oscars.
Grade: B-
Review from Shelli Sonstein - Clear Channel:
The 5th in the franchise is the blessedly the shortest because it's also the worst
Bruce Willis' classic smirk is always a welcome sight but it doesn't bring much joy this time. This isn't an awful film, it just pales in comparison with the first 4.
Still a member of the NYPD, John McClane heads to
This one needs more Bruce. Period. More script. More political subtext. More Willis one-liners. Instead , we o.d. on impossibly loud music and explosions, fireballs and villain after villain, speaking in Russian , making for about a third of the movie being subtitled. The action actually gets dull, despite all the obligatory plot twists.
Willis is physically up for the challenge at 57. He just needs more to work with next time. Yes- there will be a 6th in this franchise. And audiences so love this character, expect a good day at the box office, despite the film not living up to its smart title.
2 stars

Christy Ring Collection
If one player was guaranteed a place in every hurling connoisseur's team of the millenium, it was sure to have been the greatest hurler that ever lived, Christy Ring. Quite simply, he won everything the game had to offer, many times. Having already won 3 All-Irelands, his classic solo run goals in the 1944 Munster Final and 1946 All Ireland Finals, established him as one of the greats. Arguably, his greatest ever performance came in 1951 versus Tipperary where he switched from center forward to midfield and delivered an astonishing performance. Christy's 24 year career saw him victorious in one minor All-Ireland, four National League finals, 18 approx County's with the Glen and a record 18 Railway Cup victories with Munster. The most significant part of his medal collection is that of his unprecedented 8 All Ireland Championship medals. An outstanding save from Wexford Cúl Báire Art Foley in the 1956 decider denied Ring a record 9th medal.
Jimmy Doyle, honoured in the Hurling Team of the Millennium, has won 9 out of 13 All-Irelands (3 Minor, 6 Senior). Jimmy Doyle began his career as a goalkeeper before finding his true calling in the inside forward line. He made history in 1957 when he participated in his fourth consecutive All-Ireland minor final having appeared in his first at the tender age of 14. The following year he won his first Senior All-Ireland Final medal when Tipperary defeated Galway 4-9 to 2-5. In 1961 his individual talents were recognised when he was presented with the 'Texaco Hurler of the Year Award'. The following year he captained Tipperary to victory, although due to injury he did not get to lift the cup. He had the honour of lifting the Liam McCarthy Cup in the 1965 All-Ireland hurling final when Tipperary were victorious over Wexford. In 1971 an injury-prone Doyle appeared for the last 10 minutes of that year's All-Ireland decider against Kilkenny and for the sixth time was victorious. He played his last senior game for Tipperary in the Munster Championship of 1973 against Waterford, as stand-in goalkeeper.
Jack Lynch first visited Croke Park as a spectator in 1931. His ability with the Camán and sliotar ensured that he would grace the hallowed turf as a player on many occasions after that. Jack was of a breed that is all too rare in the modern CLG , namely the dual player. His talents were rewarded with 7 All Ireland finals between the years of 1941 and 1947. Liam McCarthys returned to the Lee-side on 5 occasions from 1941-'44 and again in 1946 with the Sam Maguire arriving in 1945. Yet Cork's defeat in the thunder and lightning final of 1939 is his most treasured memory, as it set the stage for the mighty Cork team of the 40ies. Mr. Lynch described hurling as typifying the Irish character, requiring skill, courage speed of thought and an all out action approach. He himself excelled in all departments thus ensuring his place in this prestigious team.
In 1983 Noel Skehan won a record breaking 9th All-Ireland Senior Hurling medal. Three of them were won as a substitute to Ollie Walsh in 1963, 1967 and 1969. The remaining six were won in 1972, 1974, 1975, 1979, 1982 and 1983. He won an All-Ireland Minor Hurling Medal in 1962.
Peter McDermott holds the unique record of participation in six All-Ireland finals between 1949 and 1954-five in succession. First of all, he was on the great winning Meath side of 1949, the initial great breakthrough of the Meath men. Two years later he was again in the Meath colours in an All-Ireland final but this time they lost to Mayo. In 1952 he was on the side that drew with Cavan but lost the replay (two finals). The following year he appeared in a different category, when he refereed the Kerry v Armagh All-Ireland decider. But 1954 saw his real day of glory when he captained Meath to their second great All-Ireland triumph.
During his playing career which spanned the 'Golden Days' of Limerick hurling, Timmy Ryan won every honour the game of hurling could bestow on him, - All-Ireland Senior medals in 1934, 1936 and 1940, five Munster Senior medals, five National League medals, one Oireachtas medal, thirteen County Senior Hurling medals, five County Senior Football medals and two County Junior Hurling medals with Ahane, and five Railway Cup medals with Munster. In addition he captained Limerick to win the Owen Ward Cup outright at Woolwich Stadium in London in 1935 and he was also at the helm during the American Tour of 1936 when Limerick won the magnificent Reeves Trophy by beating New York 6-8 to 0-3.

Carcharadon wrote:What I don't know is whether this diving effect persists once the sub (the Nautilus) is submerged. I think not. The reason being that there is resistance from the alligator eyes and the wheelhouse in general which would tend to overcome the downward effect once the entire submarine is underwater. Resistance at the alligator eyes would tend to raise the nose upward thus canceling the inherent tendency of the sub to submerge when on the surface. I just wish I had clearwater to observe this.
Captain Nemo wrote:Guys,
I think this "auto-diving" problem may be attributable to the weight / buoyancy / balance characteristics of R/C models which are primarily a relatively small WTC within a relatively large free-flooding hull.
My NAUTILUS MINISUB is pretty much all pressure hull, just about the way the real one would be. She's as stable as a pool table: no unruly tendencies whatsoever. To dive dynamically, I have to ballast down deep awash, run at top speed, and pitch the boat nose-down. Without flooding the forward tanks, she won't dive at all.
Once submerged and running, she's easy to level out and run straight and level.
Cut the power (when slightly buoyant and submerged dynamically) and she gradually cruises her way back to the surface in a level attitude.
Built with the pressure hull occupying the proper percentage of the exterior hull, and the Goff Disney design is a very honest boat with no surprises.At least, that's been my experience with it.
Try building a properly weighted "dry hull" R/C model and I believe you'll find she runs about like mine does.
Hope this helps.

Posch to pay $52,000 in restitution
Joshua SeboldStaff Writer
Plumas County Superior Court Judge Ira Kaufman recently added $52,000 in restitution to High Desert State Prison Sergeant Todd Posch's sentence.
The funds will be used to compensate the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations for providing security for Posch's family while he alleged a gang was targeting him.
Posch was originally sentenced to 30 days of jail time, 300 hours of community service and three years of formal probation after pleading no contest in April to two counts of filing a false police report.
The former prison employee fabricated two incidents where he reported being assaulted by "Mexican gang members."
Kaufman ordered more than $1,000 in restitution to William Harrison and his family at the original sentencing in July.
Harrison was another prison guard who Posch claimed was the "actual target" of his fabricated attacks, which caused Harrison and his family months of anxiety looking over their shoulders for would-be assailants.

any streaming links? (go mirai!!)
nice line up!!
Between Julia and Mao for Gold, Kiira should get 3rd...?
Ya, Mao and Julia will definitely be on the podium. Kiira has a good chance, but I keep an eye on Zijun Li.
Why do you say that? It is very possible. But I dont want Julia to win, even tough after seeing her in Finlandia she will probably do. I would like Mao or Kiira in first. But Kiira is inconsistent and Mao I still have to see her in competition. But after Japan Open she looks like she is in a better shape than last year. And her long program is very beautiful. I keep my fingers crossed for Kiira to make the podium.
I feel that Julia will get gold, seeing how she was so loved by the judges in Finlandia with her consistency and hyper-flexibility. I would actually like Mao to win, but she is likely to get silver, if she makes a few mistakes. I would guess Kiira or Mirai for bronze. But the ice is slippery and Sofia, Zijun, Amelie could pull out two solid performances and snatch a medal.
Julia is a brilliant skater - my prediction is that she'll get the gold here.
2 - Kiira
3 - Mao
Nagasu will be 4 or smth like that...
I guess it's hard to argue against these predictions since Julia, Kiira and Mao have posted big scoring performances so far this season. My heart wants to see Mirai on that top step.
I'm hoping Finlandia got her early season jitters out of her and she can give a real on-two punch out there. Her programs are SO much better than last season and she seems to be really fighting for it this year.
I think Mao has the most likely hood of winning the free skate if she delivers like she did at Japan Open. This early into the season though I think we're looking at a case of who can stay on their feet the most and if we look at history than things seem to be in favor of Julia winning.
I have to say, this is the third grand prix in the row where it really feels like there's a surprisingly deep field for the ladies. I see four different ladies with a legitimate chance at a medal here and maybe even the top spot of the podium.
I think Mirai might surprise folks; the russian ballerinas have been struggling with growth issues. Mao is a wild card; I am losing faith in her - too many bad skates and still no decision - go for the triple axel or all the other jumps???? Make a decision and go with it Mao. Its now Mao or you better watch out for Gao

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — State Secretary of Agriculture Todd Haymore says planting more grapes will enable Virginia vintners to keep up with a steadily increasing demand for wine.
Haymore spoke at a meeting of the Virginia Vineyards Association in Charlottesville. Organizers said more than 200 people attended the two-day event, which concluded on Friday evening.
The Daily Progress reports (http://bit.ly/WFPaOB ) that Haymore says the state has averaged about 8 percent growth in wine sales but there hasn't been a corresponding increase in the number of acres under vine. About 3,000 acres are under vine in Virginia.
Haymore says various tools, including tax credit programs and expert agricultural guidance, are available to anyone who would like to start or expand a vineyard.

In the past we have had several ASRock motherboards come across the Legit Reviews test bench. Every time we have been pleased with the performance. Today we have the opportunity to look at the flagship motherboard from ASRock. The ASRock X79 Extreme9 is the top dog in the ASRock Intel X79 motherboard product stack. Currently, it is retailing for $344.99 plus shipping. It falls in to the middle of the pack of Intel X97 motherboards in terms of pricing. The highest priced Intel X79 motherboard is currently retailing for $449.99 plus shipping while the lowest cost LGA 2011 motherboard is retailing for $209.99 plus shipping. So what exactly will you get for your hard earned dollars with the ASRock X79 Extreme9? Let's take a look.
The ASRock X79 Extreme9 has many of the same features that we find on just about all of the Intel X79 motherboards that are out there today. Features like SuperSpeed USB 3.0, 3-way NVIDIA SLI, 3-Way AMD CrossFireX, SATA III 6Gbps, and Gigabit Ethernet have become a staple of the technology in motherboards of today. The ASRock X79 Extreme9 also features a number of technologies that are specific to their motherboards. ASRock has a couple of features that are part of the XFast family. Among them are XFast RAM, XFast LAN technology, and XFast USB technology.
The XFast RAM technology is included in the ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility. The ASRock XFast RAM technology will take a portion of your RAM and create a virtual disk. This will boost the performance of many of your applications because your RAM is much faster than hard drives or even SSDs are.
XFast LAN Technology will let you manage what your internet connection is doing. You can configure the priority of the applications that are utilizing the internet. Setting the priority of your online game higher in the XFast LAN utility will reduce the in-game latency. ASRock used World of Warcraft: Cataclysm as an example and achieved a latency that was five times lower than without the XFast LAN technology.
ASRock has also implemented their XFast USB technology on the ASRock X79 Extreme9 motherboard. ASRock claims that XFAST USB will speed up the performance of the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 up to 5x faster than a motherboard without the XFast USB.
Before we move on, let's take a look at the specifications and features of the ASRock X79 Extreme9 Intel X79 Motherboard.

Test ID: F11IS
Coagulation Factor XI Inhibitor Screen, Plasma
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
This assay consists of measuring the difference in factor XI activity (activated partial thromboplastin time assay) before and after incubation of a mixture of normal plasma and patient's plasma for 1 hour at 37 degrees C. For optimal sensitivity, the factor XI value of the normal plasma is adjusted to approximately 20%, because the factor XI assay is more sensitive in this area of the curve. In addition, an excess of patient's plasma will make the test more sensitive to small amounts of inhibitors.(Owen CA Jr, Bowie EJW, Thompson JH Jr: The Diagnosis of Bleeding Disorders. 2nd edition. Boston, MA, Little, Brown, and Company, 1975, pp 143-145)
If the inhibitor screen is positive for an inhibitor of factor XI, the inhibitor will be quantitated by the "Bethesda assay." In the Bethesda procedure, inhibitors are quantified by mixing equal volumes of serially diluted plasma with normal plasma. This mixture is incubated 2 hours at 37 degrees C, and the factor XI activity is measured and compared to a control run at the same time. The difference between the factor XI activity of the patient's incubation mixture and that of the control is used to calculate titer. The residual factor XI activity is converted to "Bethesda units": 50% residual factor XI is equal to 1 Bethesda unit.(Kasper CK, Aldedort LM, Counts RB, et al: A more uniform measurement of factor VIII inhibitors. Thromb Diath Haemorrh 1975;34:869-872)
PDF Report Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.

No restrictions
Literary rights to specific documents are retained by the authors or their descendants in accordance with U.S. copyright law.
W. Keats Sparrow Papers (#13), East Carolina Manuscript Collection, J. Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina, USA.
Processed by M. Elmore, December 1984
Encoded by Apex Data Services
The collection consists of several family histories, notes on the Maryland Sparrow ancestors of Johns Hopkins, Bible records of Isaac E. Sparrow (1822-1885) of Lenoir County, N.C., and papers concerning the Rev. Patrick Jones Sparrow, D.D., (1802-1867). The Strouds family history gives some information on the background of the Stroud name, supplies incomplete data on nineteenth century members of the family, and includes a genealogical chart. Lapierre, Fordham, and Rouse: Eastern North Carolina Families, compiled by Lois Smith and W. Keats Sparrow, contains information concerning John La Pierre, his son-in-law Benjamin Fordham, and the Fordham and Rouse descendants of Benjamin Smith and Sparrow also compiled Rouse Family History, which contains data on the descendants of Richard Rouse, Sr., of Lenoir County. The genealogy, Daniel Croom of Virginia: His Descendants in North Carolina, traces the Croom descendants from the death of Daniel in Virginia in 1734 to various twentieth century Croom families living in eastern North Carolina.
Rev. Sparrow, of Lincoln County, N.C., was a well-known Presbyterian minister who taught and preached at churches in Lincoln and Rowan counties, N.C., Prince Edward County, Va., Alabama, and Florida. He was one of the founders of Davidson College (1837) and was chosen the first professor of languages to teach there. He left Davidson in 1840 and later served as president of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia (1845-1847). He died in Cahaha, Alabama, on November 10, 1867. Material concerning Rev. Sparrow includes photocopies of clippings, census records, letters, book and magazine excerpts; his 1836 travel diary; and speeches given by him while associated with Davidson College. The collection also contains History of the First Presbyterian Church of Pensacola, Florida 1837-1940 where Rev. Sparrow was pastor from 1856 until 1862.
Rev. Sparrow's travel diary (March 29-May 25, 1836) documents his travels from north central North Carolina (Rockingham and Caswell counties) through Virginia to Washington, D.C.; Baltimore, Md.; Philadelphia, Pa.; New York City; and finally to Pittsburgh, Pa., where he apparently attended a Presbyterian General Assembly meeting. Included is an account of stage, steamboat, meal, and tavern expenses in North Carolina and Virginia. Descriptions of steamboat travel on the Potomac (April 15) and Delaware (April 21, 28) rivers, stage travel (March 29), and train travel (April 20) to Baltimore from Washington are found. Brief descriptions are provided of Milton, N.C. (March 29); Fredericksburg, Va. (April 15); Mount Vernon (April 15); Baltimore, Md., sights such as the Catholic Cathedral, the Washington Monument, and the lottery offices; the Peale Museum in Philadelphia (April 20, 21); New York City (April 28, May 1 and 8) sights, especially Broadway Tabernacle; and Holidaysburg (May 14) and Pittsburgh (May 17), Pa. Sparrow refers to circuit preaching and attending various Presbyterian church services along his trip. The diary's last pages appear to describe a Presbyterian General Assembly gathering with references to Old and New school parties.
Rev. Sparrow's most vivid and lengthy description, however, is of U.S. House of Representatives and Senate meetings he attended on April 18, 1836. The physical appearances and speaking styles of Congressmen John Quincy Adams and Henry Alexander Wise, Vice President Martin Van Buren, and Senators Judge Hugh Lawson White, Felix Grundy, Daniel Webster, John Caldwell Calhoun, and Henry Clay are graphically depicted. Senators are pictured in a debate over using railroads to transport mail. On April 19, 1836, Rev. Sparrow visited Senators John C. Calhoun and William Campbell Preston and recorded their appearances in more relaxed surroundings.
Two additional Sparrow family-related papers are an article excerpt concerning Lemuel M. Sparrow and a clipping concerning Rev. Patrick J. Sparrow's son John. Lemuel Sparrow was connected with Talladega Institute and served as principal of Eastaboga Academy in Alabama in the 1850s. John Sparrow (1859-1924) was editor of the Birmingham Daily Ledger (Alabama) and worked in the advertising business.
Items not pertaining to the Sparrow family include a letter (Jan. 19, 1977) from author Thad Stem, Jr., and a letter (Aug. 4, 1966) from poet Walter Blackstock.

A group of pilot participants had preliminary training from our initial consultants. CCSF developed a training plan through the TLC during the summer of 2009. Training sessions started in October and November 2009 and continue currently.
Trainings are reserved for those designated to create/update department and "project" sites. Individual faculty members should use CCSF Google Sites to create an instructional page. Instructors who created sites using Dreamweaver, or other html editors may continue to use them.
Do I need an account? My supervisor/co-worker/department head already has one.
Everyone who works on the new site must have a personal account. Logins are now attached to a person, not to a site and logins should not be shared.
I just changed browsers and love using Chrome! Why doesn't the CMS work anymore?
Firefox is the preferred browser for the CMS. Internet Explorer and Chrome will not work.
What is the process for getting an account so that I can work on the site?
1: Get an account on the system: Fill out the CMS Account Request Form
- Print it out.
- Sign it and obtain any necessary signatures.
- Send the form to the address on the form at least one week before the training session you choose.
- Filling in the account request form (and submitting it on time!) allows the site admins to create your account so that you can be admitted to and work on your CMS pages in the training sessions.
2: Sign up for a CCSF CMS Training:
- If you want to add more than the one-session training allows, drop into the TLC lab. Lab Aides can oftenhelp. Or make an appointment with Vic Fascio (email@example.com).
- Remember: so far these are for department/project/school representatives only—not for individual Faculty or Staff. A Google site built with a CCSfmail account are recommended for individual faculty/staff.

text: 189 min | NC17 The sensation of the Cannes Film Festival, BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR made cinema history as the first film ever awarded the Palme d'Or to both its director and actresses. In a star making role, Adele Exarchopoulos is a passionate young woman with a yearning she doesn&Rsquo;t quite understand until a chance encounter brings her to life. Lea Seydoux (MIDNIGHT IN PARIS) gives a stunning performance as the older woman who excites Adele's desire. Pulsing with gestures, embraces, and arias of joy and devastation, director Abdellatif Kechiche's intimate epic is a profoundly moving hymn to both love and life.

One of the world's narrowest houses to be built in Poland
One of world's narrowest houses will be built in Warsaw as a workplace for Etgar Keret (Photo: Centrala)
Article Summary
Initially presented in 2009 as a rather eccentric architect's idea, one of the world's narrowest houses will be built in Warsaw, Poland. Referred to as an "impossible house" by its designer Jakub Szczesny of Centrala design studio, the house will be 152 cm (60 in) across in its widest spot on the outside. It's located in the center of Warsaw in a small slot between two buildings, and will be officially defined as an art installation, as it does not meet any legal standards of construction in Poland.
