More on Top-notch DAC (and my hero JC)
I do not want to turn this thread into a XD0 discussion and wish to tread lightly given www.diyAudio.com's somewhat murky rules/practice regarding commercial product. Chris B started this thread with a request for input getting up the learning curve on his goal to build a DAC that will match the performance of the very best out there and I'd like recommendations on what designs to look at. I posted the links to XD0 because I thought the nine pages of schematics and 7200 words of description on the XD0 might further his goal. The responses below will I believe continue to further the discussion (and give me a chance to lionize my mentor/hero John Camille).

What a well documented DAC! Wonderful, I noticed you knew John Camille. I've heard quite a lot about him over at bottlehead.com. And have an "invention" of his in one of my amps. C4S...Camille's Cascaded Constant Current Source. What a pity he died so young!
John Camille was one of the most important mentors I have had the privilege to work with during my 25+ year career in electronics. How sadly ironic that such a brilliant man would succumb to a brain tumor. When I first laid eyes on John Camille he was probing the 1300VDC 200mA B+ rail of his 211 tube shunt regulated SET amp. The amp was inverted in a test fixture the bright emitter 211 tubes glowing like 100 watt light bulbs while John used a high voltage scope probe to check his B+. The 2 foot long probe with its HV flashover disks looked like a prop out of a 1930s science fiction movie. Over that weekend as I got to know John I learned why checking a live 1300VDC circuit was no big deal. He had been a ham as a boy in the day when radio=tubes. As a teenager he worked at a local AM radio station where I expect 1300v represented just the middle range of voltages involved! His US Air Force career began as jet fighter pilot. He once told me his obsession with reliability in electronics stemmed from the fact unreliable avionics cost him his ace. During his combat tour in Vietnam he had his fifth MEG lined up in the sights of his F4s guns and when he pulled the trigger nothing happened. Instead of the guns firing the circuit breakers tripped. After his combat tour he was in charge of maintaining radar installations in Asia. Keeping tube based radars operating and quiet in the tropics taught him more about real world circuits than I can ever hope to know. After the Air Force John worked as an electrical engineer in TIs skunk works on secret electronic devices for the US government. By the time I met John he was retired from TI and bring his amazing expertise to bear on high end audio electronics.
tiroth commented:
I guess I have trouble getting too excited about XD0. Correct me if I am wrong, but this is basically the "Cheap 24/96" DAC with more regulators and a different (IC instead of discrete) analog stage. Don't get me wrong, I know local decoupling and regulation can make huge improvements, but when better DIRs and ASRCs have been around for years I can't get excited about CS8420.
It is a little frustrating if one is not into the latest NOS fad...there are few designs that really break new ground. I would consider Guido's VCXO scheme and JWB's in-development DAC (better ASRC, mono mode DACs) to be in the "exciting" category for me.
For the record I designed XD0 well before I had ever heard of Cheap 24/96. Similarities which may exist result from us starting with a similar chip set. The fact that local decoupling and regulation can make huge improvements is in large part the driving force in the XD0 design. My time with John Camille drove home that point just at a time when my direct experience was making the point in my listening room. One of Johns hobbies was buying nice test equipment and tweaking it. Like taking 6-digit HP multimeters and reworking the grounds until that last digit is solid. He was always preaching the gospel of thinking RF as well as audio band, fast low noise power and ground systems more involved than typical audio practices. Concurrently I was taking the X-DAC 3.0 up to the X-DAC 3.0 Signature level and directly experiencing how attention to local decoupling and regulation can make huge improvements. The AD811 based regulator using SMD parts to keep current loops tiny one sees in XD0 is all about John Cs way.
As I experienced the blooming of the CS8412/CS4328 chip set used in X-DAC 3.0 as each refinement of the supporting circuits I noticed an interesting correlation with reviews in the press. Of course my little effort, like the DIY community at large, was completely below the radar of Stereophile & TAS. There were a lot of commercial offering using the CS8412/CS4328 chip set because in its day it was the first two chip solution to a hi-fi audio DAC. The opinion soon grew around this combo that it always sounded good but not quite class A SOTA. And that is what I experienced in initial implementations. Then a couple of companies like Timbre Technologies TT-1 (http://www.soundstage.com/rise02.htm) and Entec introduced DACs using CS8412/CS4328 with all-out high end design and tweaking applied. Suddenly the sound was SOTA. Back home I experienced similar transformations taking my CS8412/CS4328 equipped X-DAC 3.0 up to the X-DAC 3.0 Signature level. My point is there are rewards to lingering over a given chip set long enough to get its full measure before chasing the latest parts.
Engineering and design are all about the trade-offs. Let me close this already too long post comparing a couple of trade-offs in recent digital audio chips.
Mfg. Part # SNR Package --------------------------------------------------------------- TI PCM1738 106 SSOP(DB)28 TI PCM1702 127 QSOP-20 TI PCM1792 117 SSOP(DB)28 TI SRC4190 125* SSOP(DB)28 AD AD1955 120 SSOP(DB)28 CS CS43122 122 SOIC28L CS CS8420 128* SOIC28L CS CS4398 120 28-TSSOP
Of course this is not an exhaustive listing of parts. I believe it does illustrate two points. These are:
1. Of the DACs introduced after the CS43122 only the PCM1702 betters it signal to noise ratio (SNR). Newer is not necessarily better as the goal is often to make the chips smaller, cheaper, or add features of no interest to DIYers and the high-end audiophile.
2. After the CS8420/CS43122 digital audio chips went to smaller less DIY friendly packages. Now if we are going to play with digital audio in 2004 dealing with SMD is a fact of life. I like SMD (surface mount devices) because I can get my circuit boards really tight with tiny current loops. But one does have to consider actually building the thing. With passive parts I like to stop at 0805 (with a few 1206 when I must) because I can reliably hand solder these using tweezers. The SOIC28L package used on CS8420 and CS43122 is 17.9mm long x 7.5 mm wide with 1.27 mm pin spacing (for those who like me still think in inches that is ~ 0.7 x 0.3 with 0.05 pin spacing). The SSOP and QSOP packages used in later devices are similar over all size 10 mm x 4.4 to 7.5 mm. The real challenge is these use a 0.65 mm pitch on the pins. Thats 0.025 inches between pin centerlines. This is no big deal for professionals who solder SMDs all day. My personal experience is I can solder SOIC packages 100% good and going to SSOP/QSOP my success rate drops to the 75-80% range.

Just to get your numbers right.....the datasheets tell me for the PCM1792, 132dB dynamic range and THD -108dB and for the PCM1702 SNR 120dB, dynamic range 110dB and THD -96dB.

A 8's and tiroth's additions and corrections to my post above set me off on a survey of some of the latest SOTA digital audio chips. Here are the results. As always we need to take specifications off data sheets in proper context and with a grain or two of salt. See the notes I have added as a first level attempt to illustrate some of the conditions and trade-offs. If anyone has a favored part in the 24 bit/192k/DSD/PCM class they want to add call it out.

Specification ranges depending on sample rate I/O ratios. 10. No 5V I/O, appears to be compatible with 3.3 or lower logic levels only. 11. Single power input pin for Va and Vd.
A 8 did catch me in a bifocal moment posting incorrect specifications for the PCM1702 above. I have dropped this part from this posts table because it is a 20 bit DAC and rather old news. I did include the PCM1704 because it will do 24 bits at 96k and it represents that dying breed (alas) of DACs featuring bipolar plus AND minus analog power supplies. Specs be damned if we really want to plumb the depths of +20 bit reproduction it seems parsing up 10 volts on the analog side has GOT to be better than 5. Get 'em before they are gone.
As to the "PCM1792, 132dB dynamic range and THD -108dB". This reminds me of an old saying "on a good day, downhill, and with a tail wind". :-) Seriously I have included two lines for the PCM1792 in this table, one using the part in stereo mode and the second in the differential mono mode yielding the 132dB figure. Note that to get there the TI engineers use dual differential DACs and analog stages setup to 9 volts output at full scale. A 9 volt out DAC sets me off on flights of fancy involving bespoke custom stereo systems using zero gain or step-down transformer ¡¥preamps¡¦ and low gain power amps. However in the real world all a 9 volt out DAC gains you is double the parts cost and a screwed up gain structure if used with typical amps. I find it sadly ironic that all the post PCM1704 DACs listed above rely on single +5 volt analog rails and then to get back the lost potential the suggestion is to use two of the chips in differential mode, essentially the same thing without the benefits of integrating the part onto a single die. Perhaps I should look at the glass as half full and award points for added flexibility.
Finally on the subject of voltages I have added a column listing the part¡¦s voltage requirements and notes on that subject. Obviously the digital side of digital audio is under going an evolution to 3.3 volt (and even lower) rails. No doubt the MPEG decoder and DD/DTS VLSICs used in DVD players and set top A/V decoders require the lower rails not to melt down. It does raise the issue of selecting parts not only for functionality and performance but also compatibility with the rest of the parts in one¡¦s DAC. For example tiroth¡¦s suggestion of the SCR4192 as the specification king of SRCs brings with it the issue of getting this 3.3 volt part talking to other chips. Analog Devices seems to of considered this in the AD1896 as have Wolfson in their DACs. In XD0 I ¡¥cheat¡¦ and run the CS43122 Vd at 5 volts rather than 3.3. This is closer to the edge of the max than I like to design but I consider the lesser of the evils. Back in the day when we had to resort to glue logic to get Yamaha DIR talking to NPC filter to Burr-Brown DACs we found it added jitter, ground bounce, and other nastiness. I am loath to repeat that history adding 3.3 to 5 or 5 to 3.3 volt translators. So I will repeat A 8¡¦s call ¡§anyone yet tried a SRC4192 and two DSD/PCM1792¡¨ or other designs to share using all or partial 3.3 volt logic? It looks to me the TI parts will steadfastly refuse to talk directly to 5 volt parts. Anybody with some bright ideas on integrating these with legacy parts? Or do we start with a clean sheet design enforcing 3.3 volts for digital and 5 volts analog rule?
Pausing for a moment with the pub racing over data sheets I can announce I have posted the 4-layer PCB layout for XD0 here:
Sorry for the large size of the PDF files. I set the graphics resolution rather high so we can zoom into details while the beta testers and I check this before it gets released for fab.
At this juncture some may ask why I continue to pursue the CS8420/CS43122 chipset with the newer parts listed above available. The answer is I love the way they sound! As the image below shows I had this chipset running early in its life cycle as the X-DAC 3.24 upgrade. It is a very sweet combo.

Hello Norman,
I don't really disagree with what you say but still want to point out that using some of the newer chips could improve things.
Regarding the 3.3 vs 5 volt issue, there is an "simple" path (if one can handle ssop) to use the DIR1703-SRC4192-(DF1706)-PCM1792 (in stereo or monomode depending how far one wants to go) without glue logic and get to -108dB THD and -127dB SNR.
I realize this does not automatically give sonic qualities but still, if you applied the same care and attention as you and a few others put into their designs perhaps you could push performance a bit further then before eventhough very few would actually be able to benefit from it.

this cake was originally for the gentlemens birthday but unfortunately he died so it turned out to be his funeral cake. His wife was very touched. Unfortunately the young man, his grandson was slowly slanting and to keep him upright i put a dowel through him which came out his shoulder so i had to put a scarf around him to cover up. If anyone has any tips about model figures, would be greatly appreciated

2010 Bicycle Tours, Discounts, Re-Cycle Rewardsby ExperiencePlus! - Tuesday, July 27, 2010
August is the month ExperiencePlus! staff finalizes the next year's tour schedule and prepares for the busy fall bicycle touring season in Europe. We now have the majority of our 2010 departure dates listed on our website and will be posting our prices over the next few weeks. Our September 9, 2010, yes 2010, trip along the Danube in Germany, Austria and Hungary will soon be sold out with a waiting list – a reminder that now is the time to start planning your 2010 cycling vacation.
Cycling temptations in 2009 and 2010 that you cannot ignore:
New Tours:
We're happy to announce our new Umbria and Southern Tuscany Plus! Florence tour for 2010, featuring the areas made famous by Frances Mayes in her book, Under the Tuscan Sun, wonderful wines and some of the most photographed landscapes in Italy.
Join us this October or March 2010 for the first-ever bicycle tours of Chile's wine region and continue along the remote Pacific coast on our Chile Wine Country Plus! the Pacific Coast departures. These itineraries will leave you trying to decide which you enjoy more, the wine or the rides – luckily you get both!
Bicycling the Danube from Germany to Vienna or Budapest. By special request we reworked our Danube Expedition itinerary and the September 2010 tour already has a waiting list.
The Return of the Classics – Not "new" but "re-newed" itineraries in 2010 include:
Bicycling Veneto and the Dolomites of Italy, recently designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site the Italian Dolomites have 18 peaks over 9,000 feet and our bicycle tour includes the famous Sella Massif ride over 4 passes. Charming mountain villages and a mix of Italian, Austrian-German culture and cuisine complete the package.
The Little Bicycle Tour of Tuscany begins in Florence and ends in Lucca– one of our favorite towns in all of Italy. You will cycle through and stay in the towns that have made Tuscany famous.
Bicycling Sardinia – we were the first company to develop a bicycle tour in Sardinia in 1995, and we can't wait to go back! This longtime staff favorite is more intriguing this year because we've made it easy for you to combine three of the best cycling islands of the Mediterranean: Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily. So whether you have time for our entire north to south Mediterranean Island Adventure or just one island you'll discover some of the best rides and food specialties in the world. **ExpeditionPlus! riders take note – all the thrills of an expedition with the full benefits (recycle credits!) of an ExperiencePlus! tour.
Andalucia is a 401 level cycling tour of southern Spain returning by customer demand. History, culture, and the terrain make this such a popular destination that our May 8 – 18 departure has limited space available.
Germany's Romantic Road itinerary rides through some of the best-preserved towns and villages from the 15th through the 18th century. A combination of bike paths and quite roads make this a stress free bicycle tour.
Rewards for planning early and bringing your friends
(Discounts cannot be combined, some restrictions apply):
We are offering a limited number of $200 (per person) Early Booking Discounts on all of our 2010 European departures. To lock in your discount be one of the first to submit your $500 per person deposit.
Re-Cycle Rewards: Take four tours and your fifth will be discounted by 50% of the average of the previous 4. Your tenth trip is discounted by 100% of the average price of the previous nine! Book your trip early to take advantage of your discount! We limit the number of Re-Cycle customers to four per departure. There is also a limit to the total number of Re-Cycle credits redeemed per calendar year so Book Now!
Group Discounts
Is your group of 6 ready to book one of our regularly scheduled trips together? Wonderful, you'll each receive $200 off the tour price. (TourzPlus! tours are excluded).
Love the Itinerary But Our Dates Don't Quite Work? No Problem…
If you have a group of 8 -18 friends who want to travel on a specific date, let us know and we'll customize a date for you AND give YOU the organizer a discount on the tour price as follows:
- Bring us 8 – 10 people and the organizer pays ½** the advertised price.
- Bring us 11 – 18 and the organizer travels free!**
** ExperiencePlus! will apply the discount to the group facilitator's trip cost—any other distribution of the discount will be the responsibility of the group. The departure will be available to the general public.
Custom Itineraries for Private Groups of 8 to 18.
We are happy to work with you to tweak our itineraries and create the tour that suits your group's needs and budget while maintaining our same quality of customer service, bicycle routes, local cuisine and tour leaders.

- Clarence Major
American writer Clarence Major "has been in the forefront of experimental poetry and prose," Eugene B. Redmond writes in Parnassus. "In prose he fits 'loosely' into a category with William Melvin Kelley and Ishmael Reed. But his influences and antecedents are not so easy to identify." Perhaps best known for his novels, Major draws on his experience as a Southern African-American to "[defy] the white-imposed 'traditions' of black literature [and] to develop a brilliant lyricism in new forms of fiction," states Jerome Klinkowitz in The Life of Fiction. But Major's art, continues Klinkowitz, "inevitably turns back to the basic social and personal concerns which must remain at the heart of any literary experience." Noting the high incidence of violent scenes in Major's work, Black Creation critic Jim Walker comments, "Major has filled [his work] with the violence we expect of Southern life; violence of whites against Blacks, and more unfortunately, violence of Blacks against Blacks. . . . But the point Major is obviously trying to make with these kinds of scenes is that violence is an integral part of life for Southern Blacks and moreover, that it helps shape their lives and attitudes."
Critics praise Major's unique use of language in My Amputations, for which he received the Western States Book Award in 1986. My Amputations follows well-read parolee Mason Ellis as he impersonates an African-American novelist named Clarence McKay, whom he has taken hostage. McKay's literary agent plays along, and almost no one who meets the imposter on his worldwide lecture tour can tell the difference between Mason and the author whose identity he has usurped. "Major has fashioned a parable of the black writer as the most invisible and misrepresented of us all," notes Greg Tate in a Washington Post Book World review. New York Times Book Review contributor Richard Perry finds My Amputations "a book in which the question of identity throbs like an infected tooth, . . . a picaresque novel that comes wailing out of the blues tradition: it is ironic, irreverent, sexy, on a first-name basis with the human condition, and defined in part by exaggeration and laughter." In a Nation review, Stuart Klawans writes: "Mere description cannot convey the wild humor and audacity to be found here, nor the anxiety and cunning. . . . When a writer loads a book with so many references, the reader is entitled to ask whether he knows what he's doing. Believe me, Clarence Major knows. He has fashioned a novel that is simultaneously a deception and one great, roaring self-revelation." Tate comments, "Major feels particular ardor for mixing the rhythms of American slang with those of historical, scientific, mythological and occult texts. . . . The integration of such alchemical language into the mundane human affairs of its subjects is part of what makes My Amputations such a provocative advance in contemporary American writing."
Such Was the Season is "more structured and accessible" than Major's earlier novels, writes David Nicholson in the Washington Post Book World. To Nicholson, it "seems rooted in Major's experience, and much of the book's success has to do with the warmth of the central character. . . . Annie Eliza . . . speaks to us for more than 200 pages of things past and present in a voice that is always uniquely hers." In this matriarch of a black middle-class Atlanta family who speaks authentic vernacular, "Major has created a delightfully lifelike, storytelling woman whose candor is matched only by her devotion to truth and her down-to-earth yea-saying to life," Al Young writes in the New York Times Book Review. "It is as if Clarence Major, the avid avant-gardiste, has himself come home to touch base with the blues and spirituals that continue to nourish and express the lives of those people he writes about so knowingly, and with contagious affection." Such Was the Season, Young summarizes, is a "straight-ahead narrative crammed with action, a dramatic storyline and meaty characterization." In the one week described by Annie Eliza, several scandals touching family members erupt in the wake of her daughter-in-law's candidacy for the state senate. Even so, "the book's pleasures have less to do with what happens and more with Annie Eliza and her tale," Nicholson maintains. "Though at first glance Major seems to have abandoned his postmodern explorations, Such Was the Season actually has much in common with those earlier works."
In Fun & Games, Major's 1990 collection of short "fictions," the author continues to bend and twist social realism around experimental narratives and prose. Writing in the New York Times Book Review, Karen Brailsford takes note of Major's "eloquent" prose, but finds that his "plots are frequently pointless, and ultimately disappointing." But while commenting that some of the stories in Fun & Games lack "the thematic and technical complexities that are Major's trademark," Maurice Bennett asserts in the Washington Post Book World that Major "is still here doing what he has done for the past 25 years: producing some of the very best experimental fiction." He adds, "Major remains at heart the poet he was at the beginning of his career, importing into his fictions a poetic fascination with the 'word' and its power to create realities, whether they be realities of identity, relationship, or phenomena." Merle Rubin, writing in the Los Angeles Times Book Review, suggests that Major uses the "realist mode" to comment on the way we construct reality. "In Major's hands, straightforward realism has a way of wandering off into the labyrinths of literary self-awareness. . . . Major's 'short fictions' remind us that reality is not simply something out there: Ours, as he puts it, is a 'man-made world,' influenced by our ability to reflect, re-imagine, re-interpret and reform it." Major's nonfiction has also garnered acclaim.
Calling the Wind: Twentieth-Century African-American Short Stories, edited and with an introduction by Major, is an anthology of short fiction by African-American writers which "charts both the evolution of the short-story form and the evolution of African American consciousness," comments Howard Junker in the San Francisco Review of Books. Calling the Wind includes short fiction from writers such as Charles Chesnutt, Ralph Ellison, Toni Cade Bambara, and Terry McMillan. Junker argues that Calling the Wind "should be required reading."
Major also edited and authored the introduction to Juba to Jive: A Dictionary of African-American Slang, an updated and expanded version of Dictionary of Afro-American Slang published originally in 1970. Juba to Jive, in the words of Ipeling Kgositsile in the Village Voice Literary Supplement, is a "no-nonsense guide to African American verbal expression." Kira Hall in the Washington Post Book World finds Juba to Jive an "exciting [introduction] to African-American languaculture, drawing the reader into an active world of words and phrases which might never appear in the American Heritage Dictionary," despite being spoken daily by many Americans. Applauding Major's ample etymological information on each term, Kgositsile calls Juba to Jive a "must buy; read it and learn the roots of a mother tongue." Major's work has "provided a series of systematic searches into different sources of identity—sexual, literary, cultural, visual, socio-economic, familial, regional, national, and personal, as well as ethnic," argues Lisa C. Roney in the African American Review. "When he is at his best," Doug Bolling remarks in the Black American Literature Forum, "Major helps us to see that fiction created within an aesthetic of fluidity and denial of 'closure' and verbal freedom can generate an excitement and awareness of great value; that the rigidities of plot, characterization, and illusioned depth can be softened and, finally, dropped in favor of new and valid rhythms." Major's achievement, according to Klinkowitz in an African American Review overview of Major's career and works, "has been to show just how concretely we live within the imagination—how our lives are shaped by language and how by a simple act of self-awareness we can seize control of the world and reshape it to our liking and benefit."

Wearable Technology Is Breaking The Retail Distribution Model
Posted by Tim Sheedy on December 27, 2013
- 27 Recommendations
- 2 comments
Smart technology is becoming mainstream very quickly. Not a day goes by without hearing about some new piece of smart technology that can help you get fitter or smarter or improve your life in some other way. In the past week alone, I've heard about devices that can improve your tennis swing, improve your posture, sense your presence, and generate energy from walking — not to mention the new smart watches, handheld 3D printers that can draw bones, smart breathalyzers, and, of course (!) smart wigs!
These devices are starting to find their way into the hands of consumers, but much of the retail channel has yet to catch up. Smart locks, smart wearables, and smart fitness devices are all generally being sold through the traditional online and offline channels for electronics and devices; sports stores, clothing retailers, and home hardware stores have been slow on the uptake. In the US, we have already seen some electronics retailers (such as Best Buy) significantly expand their "smart wearables" section from a small pod to an entire aisle or even a dedicated corner or section of the store. At the same time, many sports stores have not even started carrying the latest fitness tracking devices — something that should be in their sweet spot.
In fact, many traditional clothing retailers' merchandising models have put them well behind the eight ball. Where do companies like Fitbit, SolePower, or others fit into the traditional clothing retailer's model? Quite simply, they don't — and that will hamper these retailers, because far more innovation is happening at crowd-funded startups than in the clothing manufacturing space (Nike being the obvious exception).
So what is the future for traditional retailers around smarter wearables? My guess is that they will continue to be pushed to the sidelines over the next two to three years; electronics retailers will prosper at their expense and innovation in wearables will continue to happen elsewhere. But eventually the traditional clothing retailers will begin to consolidate and innovate. Some large brands will buy the smaller device startups; others will launch their own lines of smart wearable clothing or devices. A large proportion of today's standalone wearables will be integrated into traditional products.
One thing is certain: As with the shift toward online selling, traditional retailers that fail to embrace the shift to smart wearables will continue to see their value and market share erode.
So how does this relate to CIOs? For a start, I know a number of CIOs in clothing and sporting retailers in Asia who are challenging their company Buyers to get on top of these trends – and in some cases are even educating the Buyers as to the coming trends. CIOs, along with Enterprise Architects are typically responsible for scanning the tech horizon – and through this approach could help the business better understand the current and future buying behaviors and technology trends.
CIOs in retail should also look to leverage the data ecosystem of wearable technologies – how can the data collected at the device or wearable level perhaps be integrated into the loyalty systems, or help to guide the customer experience strategy? What other internal or external data sources which might, if integrated with your own data, actually create a better outcome for the customer – is there a way you can make the wearable technology experience better if purchased from your store?
With technology disrupting the retail landscape, the CIO has a great opportunity to help their business remain relevant in the Age of the Customer.

With a photo identification, police officers typically ask victims and witnesses to come to the police station and try to identify a suspect by looking at photographs. The witnesses may look through large books of photos or smaller groupings of six photos commonly called "six packs." The photos are almost always mugshots, meaning that witnesses are aware that the people they are looking at have criminal records. (For information on other aspects to identification procedure, including lineups and the right to an attorney, see Eyewitness Identification.)
The police use photo identifications when they lack probable cause to make an arrest. Because the process is nonintrusive, officers can display photos to eyewitnesses whether or not they have any information tying any of the subjects to a crime. Thus, photo identifications can be, in essence, a search for a suspect.
Suspects generally don't have a right to a lawyer's presence at a photo lineup. (United States v. Ash, 413 U.S. 300 (1973).) Photo identifications often take place before charges are filed, and even suspects have no right to be present.
The question naturally arises: If neither suspects nor attorneys are present, how can they challenge the fairness of photo identifications?
The police are supposed to keep records of which photographs they show to eyewitnesses, and the order of display. The defense can see the photos prior to trial through discovery. Thus, if a photo display is unfair—for example, the defendant was the only person in a six pack who was fully facing the camera or the only one whose picture was in color—the defense can ask the court to suppress the identification.
The photo identification process is often informal, and transcripts of conversations between police officers and eyewitnesses aren't frequently made. To the extent that the police unfairly guide eyewitnesses to identify a suspect, the defense may be relegated to finding this out by asking the participants what was said and relying on them to willingly answer completely and accurately.

The only offensive skill player whose status is truly in question for conference championship Sunday is Ravens running back Bernard Pierce . He has been dealing with a bone bruise on his right knee, an injury he aggravated during last Sunday's win over the Broncos. Pierce didn't practice on Thursday but he returned in a limited capacity Friday. He is officially listed as questionable and has already guaranteed that he will play versus the Patriots.
Fantasy Analysis:
And he most likely will. The injury kept Pierce to just five carries in a 77-minute game last week. If he's healthy, he should handle closer to 8-10 touches. Pierce has shown impressive skill in his rookie campaign, but he's nothing more than a backup with 25-year-old Ray Rice in front of him and showing no major signs of slowing down.

St. Petersburg tight end Jeremy Kerr got an offer from Miami while attending the Hurricanes' spring game on Saturday.
It is the first offer for Kerr, a 6-foot-6, 245-pound junior who will be one of the area's most recruited tight ends.
Kerr did not catch many passes last year due in part to the Green Devils penchant for running the ball. But he shines as a blocker and should become more of a target in the passing game this season.

Charges increased against Greenwood burglary suspect
GREENWOOD, Ind.
A man who allegedly broke into a Greenwood home now faces a felony burglary charge after the prosecutor decided the suspect should face the most severe consequences.
Investigators say Scottie Turner, 54, broke into a home last month. The homeowners confronted the intruder by grabbing a gun. They subdued the suspect until police arrived.
Turner was arrested over the weekend on a class D felony, which carries a three-year prison sentence. But prosecutors took a second look at the case and decided to seek a stiffer Class A felony carrying a 50-year prison sentence.
The Johnson County Prosecutor's Office says it "will continue to pursue the most severe consequences available against people who invade our citizens' homes."

There's a lot of talk this week about tonight's MudSummer Classic Truck Series race at Eldora Speedway. And frankly, we can't wait to see it! We have a reference for the must-see show, but it NSFB (Not Safe for Blog, no, not even this blog.)
As the spotlight grows even brighter with the influx of fans and media to the Ohio dirt track, questions are being raised about the infamous Eldora Love Tunnel (AKA: The Eddie Gossage Tunnel). Less about the tunnel really, and more about the "AKA" part. Why is Eddie Gossage's name on it? Well, it was a result of a $3 million deal. Yes, you read that correctly. THREE MILLION DOLLARS. That's a hell of a naming rights deal.
No, we didn't pay 3 million for a $12 plaque, well… not really. The story goes kind of like this:
Once upon a time, there was a track that had a couple of traffic issues (For the record, those have been fixed!! Don't start.) There was also a driver who was coming from an appearance and REALLY needed to get to the infield at said track for a very important meeting. A NASCAR Driver's Meeting. This driver, who also owns Eldora Speedway, was stuck in traffic on Texas Motor Speedway property.
**We pause our story here to tell you that the penalty for missing a NASCAR Driver's Meeting is that the driver must start at the rear of the field. It helps explain the next part of the story.**
This driver is known to have a fiery temper when incited by the asking of repetitive (read: stupid) questions or blocked (if you haven't figured it out yet, allow us…**cough** Tony Stewart). This traffic might as well have been the block of all blocks and since it would be frowned upon to start wrecking our guests, he showed tremendous self-control and called Eddie. Tony then tossed his self-control out the window and proceeded to tear into Eddie as though he was a member of the media who had asked for the seventh week in a row, "What did you have for breakfast and how do you think it will affect how the car runs today?".
We won't get any further into the Stewart v. Gossage bout (although that does give us an idea…) but it did result in building a bridge to ease traffic on property and make the infield more accessible. It cost $3 million dollars to build and in honor of the above referenced incident, Eddie attempted to get the last word by naming the bridge, "The Tony Stewart Bridge". In true Smoke form, he got the final word, hence the $12 plaque on the Love Tunnel at Eldora Speedway.

" Brand: Intex / Type: Water Toys "
My daughter who is nearly 10 months old absolutely loves to play in water. She has been having swimming lessons since she was 4-5 moths old and is very water confident. She loves to swim, play in her paddling pool and the bath and absolutely hates getting out!
We have been really enjoying the recent hot spell, and already have a baby a baby paddling pool at home for her and decided to buy her one for Nannie and Grandad's house, so that when we visit she can have a splash about if the weather is nice.
Our paddling pool for our house has a shade over the top and we decided to buy another pool with this feature to keep Tilly-Mae in the shade and cool as she plays. I found the Intex Mushroom paddling pool on Amazon and it was on offer at the time for £12.99 although now the lowest price is £14.99.
The pool itself is designed to look like a mushroom. The sunshade is the top of the mushroom and is red and white with yellow stalks and is joined to the blue pool base. The colours are lovely and bright and eye catching as indeed is the whole design.
The base of the pool is blown up separately to the mushroom shade. There are then three mini mushrooms that fit into holes around the side of the pool and 3 toys which are attached by Velcro to the stalks. As there are a total of 6 toys, and the base of the pool and then the mushroom shade to blow up it does take some time and is a bit fiddly especially as some of the toys are small. I would says it took the best part of half an hour to blow up which is quite surprising for such a small pool. For this reason we keep it blown up and store in the garage just adding any extra air as needed.
We find that it does not take very long to fill the pool. We only fill it to halfway though as rather than sit my daughter prefers to lay on her tummy or back and splash about. However even filling the pool to the maximum fill line should not take more than 5 minutes or so.
The pool is the perfect size for a single baby or toddler to play in. However I would suggest if you have more than one child that you may want to consider a different pool as this is only big enough for one at a time as the dimensions are 102cm by 89cm with a depth of the pool of 13cm.
Given the size I think next year we will need to invest in a larger paddling pool for our daughter as whilst at 10 months this is perfect I do feel that she will need more space next summer. However I do think it represents excellent value given the excellent quality of the item, the lovely design and the number of toys included. It really is a fun design.
My daughter loves this pool and has hours of fun in it, splashing about and soaking mummy and daddy as well as her Nannie and Grandad! I would highly recommend this pool for babies.

I think I have Carpenter Ants
(Florida) There is a piece of rotted Bamboo on the side of the house and it has been turned into saw dust. There are a bunch of larger than normal black ants running around in the crumbled wood/saw dust.
These photos are of one of these ants from the Bamboo
The home is a cinderblock frame, but about ten feet away I noticed some black ants were headed up to a hole in the attic. This is what they looked like. They look different from the ants in the Bamboo but I am wondering if they could also be carpenter ants, perhaps with a different task and appearance.
Here is the Bamboo, you can see some ants in there but not too clearly.
So what is my course of action? Thank You.
The little one is also a carpenter ant, only stage one (younger).
Get the "liquid ant baits" by Terro, and set a few along their path. Do not disturb them in any way. Replenish with fresh when their feeding slows down. It might take a week or two if it is a primary colony living in the attic (i.e. with a queen), but see below.
If the ants show little interest on the sweet bait (which I doubt), you might want to try a protein-based bait, like Advance 375A. Do not mix the sweet with the protein for "better" results. They will go either for the one or the other based on the life cycle of the colony.
Once you see no more activity, excavate around the bamboo and saturate the damaged wood and the soil with any insecticide. Most likely the primary colony is in the bamboo and the attic contains a satellite colony, but you must go slowly so you can get the attic ants first.
Note that carpenter ants are mostly active during the first hours of the night. If you cannot resist "watching" :) try to use one of those red-light flashlights so you don't scare them away.
Let us know how it worked.
If the Attic colony is a satellite colony that does not contain a queen, how will setting traps for the ants going into the satellite colony destroy it? I was under the impression to destroy a colony you need to kill the queen but there is no queen in a satellite colony?
First, you do not know what's in the attic, so treat that as if it were the parent, primary colony.
Second, satellite colonies contain eggs and larvae, and don't necessarily need a queen to thrive. They need the workers though that feed the colony. You can't kill all those workers unless you know where the nest is and have access to that part of the roof.
Your call.
I see. Thanks, will follow up with results.
The attic ants have finished off 3 boxes of Terro liquid baits and I just opened the last bait (will get more tomorrow) there are still a lot of them about. I am waiting to kill the Bamboo exterior nest until the attic ants die as advised.
Give them more than one station at a time so that more ants have access to the bait.
Do you see them fighting for food? If they do, it means that the original colony is weakened to a point that another colony is trying to claim the bait.
Ants of the same colony do not fight.
Be patient and resist attacking with insecticides. Once you spray, the bait tactic is taken away.
I followed your advice and the ants disappeared. When I dug up that Bamboo there were no ants to be found.
But now I am actually seeing large red carpenter ants inside of my house. Maybe one large ant every four days. I don't know where they are coming from. I try to track them but they don't ever seem to be going back to a nest.
What is my play? I am scared they are in the attic somewhere. Do I call a pest company? I have tons of insulation and not much space up there and wonder if they will find anything?
I'm not far from you, inland. Be careful. I've gotten some bad bites, pulling weeds, from big ants. I can actually see them throw their head back before they chomp down on my hand. Hurts.
I'll copy and save the info nanuk gave you, in case I need it.

Send a message explaining your needs and Marie will reply soon.
Response time: 9 hours
Vassar College (Psychology)
Teacher's College, Columbia University (Master's)
Hi Everybody,
My name is Marie, and I may be the ideal tutor for you!
I am currently a second year social work student at NYU, and I have 3.5 years of tutoring experience, in addition to several years of counseling experience with children. Before enrolling at NYU, I earned a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University (I majored in general psychology as an undergraduate student at Vassar College), and started tutoring shortly after graduation. I worked for a year as a tutor for the Academic Advantage, and have now been working for WyzAnt for two and a half years. As part of my work, I tutor students in Math (pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and general Math), Language Arts (including English, reading, vocabulary and writing). and test prep (GED, GRE, SHSAT, SAT).
Besides tutoring, I also have a lot of work experience as a substitute teacher and teaching assistant in various classrooms. I have experience with students of all ages, including extensive experience with individuals who have special needs.
In general, I favor a "hands-on" approach to teaching that involves a lot of interaction between the tutor and student, and concrete experiences in addition to worksheets. However, my specific methods vary according to the subject being taught and the learning style of the student.
I look forward to hearing from you! Hi Everybody,
My name is Marie, and I may be the ideal tutor for you!

Mary is an excellent tutor. She is well prepared and has gotten to know my daughter's strengths and weaknesses very well. All her lessons are customized and helpful.
She is very calm, and serious about helping my daughter to improve her study. She assessed what my 12 years old need to study harder and gives us a list of what my daughter has to work for the next session. My daughter respects Marie a lot and her English is improving!
Marie was very professional, and did a great job of tutoring my daughter for ISEE test. We decided to hire a tutor at the last minute (about a month before the test), and Marie quickly brought my daughter up to speed.
Marie was knowledgeable and very patient with my daughter. I highly recommend Marie.
Marie is a great tutor for my daughter. She is very patient always reachable by phone or e-mail, as well as very punctual. I would recommend Marie for any student struggling with course work in math, reading and writing.
She really helped my sister right before the Specialized High School Exam. She taught in a kind way that was easy to understand. Will absolutely use her again.
My husband and I decided to homeschool our daughter and we knew we had to find a Math tutor. We are glad we discovered WyzAnt and found Marie. From day one, Marie was professional and punctual. From her first session with our daughter, we knew she was proficient in Math. Marie tutored our daughter for 8th and 9th grade Math and provided her with practice tests to prepare for the Regents. Our daughter not only passed the regents, but has gained confidence in her ability to do Math successfully on her own. She is now in 10th grade and Math is no longer a daunting task. Needless to say, we were very pleased with Marie and highly recommend her.
Marie has been tutoring my son for the past several weeks and I have seen great improvement in his overall academic performance. More importantly, my son looks forward to seeing Marie because she makes learning fun. I personally find Marie responsive to my emails and she never hesitates to take a few minutes after the session to speak with me about my son's progress. I would highly recommend Marie to any parent looking for a tutor.
I would recommend Marie for any child that needs help. My son was failing his EAL test, and was going to get held back.
With her help my son passed his EAL test. This year I signed up with her again. Marie is very good at teaching.
My daughter is 16 and studying for her SATs. Marie assessed her skills and made an excellent study plan for their sessions. My daughter has improved significantly in her writing and grammar. She enjoys learning with Marie. Marie is patient, intelligent and insightful.
Marie's tutoring sessions continue to positively impact the kids learning gaps. I am particularly pleased because each kids has their challenges on a similar area yet they each need to be tutored using a different strategy to keep them engaged and Marie found a way to get each of them to focused. The sessions are never dull.
I am also very happy with Marie as she looks for ways to have the children focused on the areas they need assistance with by interacting with their teachers to ensure her work complements with the areas they truly need tutoring on.
Marie is also reliable and flexible and as a parent of three kids this is key trait in a tutor.
Marie has been tutoring my daughter for help with her beginning reading and writing. She has a fun approach towards her teaching.
My daughter has had a tremendous improvement and she really enjoys her tutoring sessions with Marie. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her teaching anyone's child who needs that little extra to catch up. My daughter actually looks forward to her Sunday mornings with Marie.
Marie has been working with my 7-year old son, who has aspergers, for a little over a month and she is wonderful. Initially, I was very worried about starting my son with a tutor due to his attentional issues. However, Marie took the bull by the horns right away. From the very first session he was completely engaged--no small feat!
In short, Marie is simply fantastic. She truly has a gift for working with kids that have different learning styles or that are not traditional learners.
My experience with Marie for tutoring my son was a wonderful one. My son was at the end of his 1st year in High School and getting ready to take the Algebra and Earth Science Regents. Although his school offered extra help and saturday classes we wanted to do as much as we could so our son would have a better chance of passing these two very important exams. I began searching for a tutor and stumbled across Marie on Wyzant, and she was willing to take my son and tutor him with an already hectic schedule. My son felt comfortable with Marie from the first day and had nothing but good things to say of their tutoring experience, which resulted in my son passing his Algebra Regents and I cannot express how happy and proud I felt. I really feel that Marie helped my son go that extra mile and taught him strategies that pushed him to reach the score he received on his Algebra Regents. I would definitely recommend Marie as a tutor for any child, she is patient, kind, and a highly competent tutor.
Marie has exemplified the key ingredients of an effective psychology tutor. She has empathy, understanding, patience and professionalism.
Marie is a great tutor. She is very patient and understanding and I give her an A plus.
Marie is reliable and can be depended on to find innovative ways to tutor my daughter. She is sensitive to my daughter's need and has tailored her tutoring strategy to accommodate those needs.
So far, I have been happy with Marie, and my daughter likes her too.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I may be the ideal tutor for your elementary school child!
I have a Master's degree in psychology with an emphasis on child development; I have taken multiple elementary education courses, and I have about 7 years of experience with school age children, much of which has been in an educational setting.
In addition, this past school year, I have tutored several elementary school students, and significantly improved their grades and test scores. I prefer a hands-on approach to tutoring with this age group, although will occasionally use worksheets in addition to more engaging activities. I look forward to hearing from you, and possibly providing tutoring services to your children.
I am qualified to tutor for the ISEE, because I have 4.5 years of tutoring experience in test prep, and I am familiar with the test. I have also tutored a couple of students for the ISEE, and they did really well on the test.
I recently graduated from Columbia University with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. I have experience teaching students to read, including students who have special needs. I have experience with teaching the sounds of the letters, as well as letter combinations.

Flywheel and driveshaft conversion ? i hope not
Well guys .. i finally did it and ordered a C6 for my Cougar it should rock pretty good. But I forgot about the flywheel and drive-shaft .. my question is just that .. motor is 351 cleavland , will the flywheel and drive-shaft still fit that were used with the FMX now that i have changed to a C6 . Also i know theres lots to consider with out more info but would 2400- 2600 stall be a little high for a street and strip (mostly street) set up like mine.. 420horse, 420flbs , this C6 and a 9inch with 2.79 rear ? any and all help will be greatly appreciated as i need to tell him soon.
thanks guys
Hey thanks Neal ill call the shop back and tell them to stay stock or slightly above . I appreciate the timely feedback !
Where can i find a bolt in driveshaft
well ive done some thinking onit and i could get my driveshaft cut and rebalenced or i could try and find a drive shaft that bolts in .. I have a 1970 Mercury cougar with the sbf 351 cleavland and a C6 trans and 9inch rear end.. wat cars other then mine also would use the driveshaft that i will need.. ie would it be comets or mach1's fairlane's mustangs and or others..
just thinking i could save some money and effort. Because i only get use of this shop with the lift and tools for one sat. and i would have to put the trany in and then measure for the driveshaft length and the only shop i knwo of close is closed on sat's..
thanks again
A Cleveland with 2.79 gears will fall flat on its face without at least a 2600 stall. (using 25-26 inch tires) and it will still be a dog below 30 mph with those gears.
(remember stall depends on how much torque you ACTUALLY have fighting your gear ratio and weight)
You need at least 3.25 - 3.50 gears for street, and probably 3.70s or more for that strip.
been there, done that
Thanks for the info on the stall Xntrick . I do have 2.79's in the back door ... but.... i have a set of 3.73's up my sleeve . well.... not really up my sleeve that would be pretty aukward . But i will install them when i get around to it. In your opinion would 2100 stall be passable with the 3.73 gear . Also this car is intended for mainly street use . I do want to go to the track a few times with it but it wont be a strip only car.
thanks bill
Hey, I am not the all encompassing Ford Guru here, but I have messed with a few in the last 40 years.
That 70 car has to weigh 3300, plus the driver, and Clevelands are notorious for lack of low rpm torque below 2500, even with the factory 2 bbl headed engines. But they roll on well on the highway.
It sounds like your power peaks are above 3800 rpm to get those numbers, but since you have dynoed it, what are those rpm numbers? And how was it engine dynoed, with what accessories? Is that real world installed with accessories power?
I said in the previous post......(remember stall depends on how much torque you ACTUALLY have fighting your gear ratio and weight)
You might not get the stall rpm that you think, it depends on your specific engine set up.
I see that you have to make a converter decision before installing the transmission. Soooooo.... I guess I would do the 2500 stall and drive the 2.79 gears to see how far you want to go with the rear ratio.
3.25 gear with 26 in tires (235.60x15) should net you a theoretical rpm of 2550 rpm at 60 mph. (2200 with 2.79) A stall of 2500 would fall within the useable range for cruising. (It only slips to 2500 with a hard pull)
3.73 would put you up to 2900 at 60 mph.... That is something that you would have to consider in a street driver.
too bad you didn't opt for an AOD.
