Interest Level-5 Unveils Layton 7 Puzzle Game with New Characters
posted on 2013-08-27 10:45 EDT by Karen Ressler
Game developer Level 5 announced at its "Level 5 Vision 2013" event on Monday that a seventh game in the Professor Layton series is in development. The game, a "role-playing puzzle" game currently titled Layton 7, is planned for Nintendo 3DS, iOS, and Android.
The game format is a departure from previous Layton games, in that players take on one of various character roles, as seen in the gallery below and on 4Gamer's website. Players must play out the role of the character in the game, which is full of puzzles.
The sixth and latest game in the franchise, Layton-Kyōju to Chō-Bunmei A no Isan (Professor Layton and the Legacy of the Super Civilization A), shipped in Japan last February. Level-5 president Akihiro Hino previously stated that it would be the "final and greatest adventure" of Professor Layton.

Hello all,
Just joined the Sig family, having purchased yesterday a used P6, which I found out is aka the 225. It shot great today, but I'm not entirely happy with the grips from both a cosmetic and mechanical view. After looking around the net, I can't find aftermarket grips listed for the P6/225, with the exception of the Nills.
Is there another Sig model with the same frame and that uses the same grip panels as the 225? If so, perhaps I'll be able to find grips listed under that model.
By the way, the new old Sig did quite well today. The only malf. was when my wife shot it for the first time. Since she is a notorious limpwrister, I told her to tighten up her grip and there were no more FTF's for the rest of the day. Even though this pistol is several decades old, it seems to group at least as good as the much newer pistols we own (and we own some nice ones). Should be a great range gun.....
thanks for your help,

ARTICLEWhere limitations begin, rights end
Tara Wall
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
The District's gun ban had prohibited residents from registering handguns and keeping them in the city. Immediately after the ban was imposed in 1976, the homicide rate dropped and it has leveled off in recent years, after peaking in 1991.
Ready. Aim, fire, shoot. Bulls-eye! The Supreme Court, in its 5-4 decision last week, hit the mark on the most important gun rights case in the history of the United States.
It came just in time for the summer recess, allowing lawmakers the ability to escape town as they ponder just what the decision will mean in terms of crafting legislation to address state "interpretation" issues and potential loopholes.
In the aftermath of the decision, opinions were swift. President Bush said: "I applaud the Supreme Court's historic decision today confirming what has always been clear in the Constitution: the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear firearms. I also agree with the Supreme Court's conclusion that the D.C. firearm laws violate this fundamental constitutional right."
Sen. John McCain echoed those sentiments having previously joined 299 lawmakers in signing an amicus brief presented to the High Court in support of lifting the ban. Sen. Barack Obama for his part, did what was politically expedient. He offered a statement without really taking a position, though his voting record (miniscule as it is) clearly reflects his original thinking on the matter: He's fought virtually all efforts by gun-rights advocates.
Then there were the outright indignant.
My good friend and FOX News analyst Juan Williams, on the Sunday show panel, called the Court's decision "reckless." Even after admitting that: "You know, there's been this terrible wave of murders in the District of Columbia, mostly black on black... but don't you think it might have been worse if there was a greater availability of guns?" No, Juan. Criminals are deterred (or at the very least think twice) when presented with the notion that the law-abiding citizen behind the wheel of the car they are about jack, or home they are about to rob, is also packin'.
The FBI's "Crime in the United States" report estimates that 66 percent of murders in 2004 were committed with firearms. Most crimes committed with a firearm end up fatal. Best-case scenario is not to be a victim. Should that fail, it's better to be armed. One recent case in point took place over the weekend in Prince George's County. An off-duty Secret Service officer scared off five would-be carjackers as they approached him in his vehicle. He let off a round from his handgun. The thugs scattered. Problem solved.
If critics want to consider this a "spike in gun crime"(as they've said the lifting the ban will cause), so be it. Better them (the criminals), than us (law-abiding citizens).
Another outspoken dissenter of the Court's ruling (not surprisingly) was D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty. Gravely disappointed, he declared: "[I] believe introducing more handguns in the District will mean more handgun violence."
It boggles the mind that this "more guns breeds more violence" mantra continues and even more so, goes virtually unchallenged by the mainstream media without the relevant facts to support it. It would seem that the opposite is true. Forty states are now "Right-to-Carry" states. Thirty-six have laws requiring that permits to carry firearms be "issued to applicants who meet uniform standards established by the legislature." In Virginia you don't even need a permit for a handgun in your home. Vermont respects the right to carry without a permit. And nationally, violent crime has held steady (not gone up or down). Where is this "Wild-Wild West" we hear so much about?
Furthermore, thugs don't buy guns legally. A 1997 survey of prison inmates revealed that among those possessing a gun, 80 percent said they obtained it illegally, while fewer than 2 percent got theirs at a gun show.
One glaring issue Mr. Fenty pointed out is that the decision does not mean that D.C. citizens will be able to carry a concealed weapon on their person within city limits. The ability to legally own a handgun is only extended to residents within their dwelling. At least that is his interpretation. Yet he raises what could pose a problem (as it currently does) for those in the border states of Virginia and Maryland who legally own handguns but work in the District.
The Supreme Court declared: "The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."
There is hope. Take note of the phrase: "such as." What is apparently implied by Mayor Fenty, but not implicitly stated by the Court, is whether that right can be (or should be) extended beyond the home. So while the National Rifle Association (NRA) has already set its sights on overturning San Francisco and Chicago gun bans, it may want to draw down on Congress to address this glaring oversight. It doesn't make much sense to live and work within a 7-mile radius and have to check your sidearm at the state line.
One more exception I would add to Congress' considerations. On Fox News Sunday, my buddy Juan went on to tell host Brit Hume: "If all of us were sitting on the panel with guns, I think we'd be shooting our husbands and wives." The Court may want to add: "everyone, except Juan is allowed to have a handgun."

Cheval des Andes originated as Director Pierre Lurton sought out a special international terroir in which to apply the storied blending heritage of the French château. Lurton was intrigued by the notion of unearthing a connection with the Saint Émilion past: Malbec, decimated by phylloxera in the 1860s from its position as the one of the most important varieties in Saint Emilion and Pomerol, had since been reincarnated in ungrafted form in Argentina, producing some of the world's best Malbecs in recent years.
Cheval Blanc's reconnection with its past was consummated in 1999 as Pierre Lurton visited a select parcel of the most treasured high elevation terroir in Argentina: Terrazas de los Andes' 76-year-old Las Compuertas vineyard, found in Vistalba, Mendoza. In resulting launch vintages of 2001 and 2002, according to Pierre Lurton, Cheval des Andes has proven to "fit in the spirit of Cheval Blanc," refined and elegant in its Bordeaux style, while displaying the characteristic fruit intensity of its Argentine roots. View all Cheval des Andes Wines
About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

I get this problem in BT5-Gnome-32

I get this problem in BT5-Gnome-32
I managed to get my install working using the notes in this forum thread.
I added "i915.modeset=1" to my kernel command line for my intel chipset.
More information for other video chipsets may be here if its the same problem as I had. http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com...n-problem.html
Hmm... At first I thought that this might have been related to the fact that I have an nvidia card with optimus---Nvidia GT 335M with switchable Intel GMA 4500MHD---as this technology is unsupported by X server but many of the machines listed above do not have switchable graphics.
This issue (X server causing a kernel panic) has occurred all over the linux landscape in the past:
Lucid doesn't boot caps lock flashing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1671129
OLD BT Forum Post http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...wont-boot.html
Gentoo Forum: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-...0-start-0.html
My guess is that the installation somehow creates a misconfigured /etc/xorg.conf file (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config ) because when I run BT5 live X has no problem at all starting up. When I get home from work I am going to try to create a new vanilla file with: sudo Xorg -configure . If that doesn't work, or if someone doesn't solve this for GNOME in the next few hours, I am going to try bumblee: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee which might provide a workaround to this bug for those of us who are stuck with optimus.
I have the same thing happening with a Dell 5510, core i5 with the Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller rev. 02.
Once you launch X, it appears the kernel panics as the scroll and caps lights start flashing and it hard locks. So I don't think its regulated to just a ATI issue, tho it is obviously a driver issue :/
Anyone else having this issue?
I tried the Xorg -configure and created a new .conf file, no dice here with the Intel GMA. It looks like is a problem all over the landscape but it *seems* to have been fixed in the newer kernels within ubuntu (if i'm following the majority of these threads) and those are older than the current kernel being used by BT5. argh - more digging i suppose!
For those of you having trouble with starting the xorg server after a hard disk install, the following link can help. I have an old intel graphics card and it helped me.
Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" Blank Screen at Startup : Workaround
I really appreciate it, I love bt5 on my netbook as everything works perfectly put of the box, but my laptop is having this problem as well.
^ The line on my grub was:
text splash nomodeset vga=791
so i changed nomodeset to i915.modeset=1 and then changed it permanently in the /etc/default/grub
You can also change the line to quiet splash i915.modeset=1
Just for reference, this fix was for my Intel graphics specified here from the lspci output:

It was a pleasant day, sun shining in the sky, a group of American and NATO troops doing their jobs at the Kabul airport when an Afghan pilot changed their lives. He had been in the Afghan air force for over twenty years, he was considered an excellent member of the armed forces, but something made him angry. He took an automatic weapon, pointed it at the American and NATO soldiers and began blasting away. Within moments eight young men lay dead and the pilot himself was killed. No one knows why he fired at his "allies," no one knows what he became upset, and, most probably no one will ever know.
The Taliban claim he was a member of their group. Perhaps, this is true. Perhaps not. The real issue is why are there repeated such examples in which members of the Afghan armed forces kill American and NATO soldiers? The only logical answer is the lack of a sense of purpose and belief in their own government. If one believes in country, if one believes their country is at risk, then a sense of patriotism develops and a desire to sacrifice for the people of the nation. Few people in Afghanistan believe their government represents them, few trust government officials, and few regard themselves as "Afghans."
The reality is American troops are fighting in a land that lacks a government which can gain the trust and respect of its own people. We experienced this same situation during the Vietnam war forty years ago. At that time, Senator Aikens of Vermont said, why not just declare victory and get the heck out of Vietnam. Perhaps, it is time to declare victory and leave.

New York City -- Mom's Organic Market has opened its seventh store, in Timonium, Md. Along with featuring 100%-certified organic produce, and organic and natural grocery products, the new Mom's was built with the environment in mind.
"We believe that we are the most environmentally-responsible grocery chain in the country," said Scott Nash, who founded Mom's in 1987 with a $100 investment, in a report in The Gourmet Retailer.
Like all other Mom's units, the Timonium store is powered by 100% wind power. Skylights and LEDs illuminate the aisles, and energy-efficient, closed-door coolers help reduce the need for heating and cooling.
Outside, two electric car charging stations are available for public use for free.

Documenting this credit can take time, since cost and exact percentages of post- and pre-consumer materials must be collected for each recycled item used.
LEED requires the base materials budget to be consistent across all MR credits. The LEED Online credit forms help provide consistency across MR credits by applying the same data to multiple credits. Materials used to earn this credit cannot also be counted for MRc3: Materials Reuse, nor for MRc7: Certified WoodWood from a source that has been determined, through a certification process, to meet stated ecological and other criteria. There are numerous forest certification programs in general use based on several standards, but only the Forest Stewardship Council's standards, which include requirements that the wood be tracked through its chain-of-custody, can be used to qualify wood for a point in the LEED Rating System., but they can contribute to MRc5: Regional Materials and MRc6: Rapidly RenewableTerm describing a natural material that is grown and harvested on a relatively short-rotation cycle (defined by the LEED rating system to be ten years or less). Materials.
The 10% point threshold is easy to achieve for this credit, especially if your project has a lot of concrete or steel. There is also an increasing number of products on the market that have recycled content, making the 20% threshold achievable for some projects. Concentrate on buying "big ticket" items with high recycled content levels. Depending on the building construction, you will generally get more (due to a higher cost) out of tracking the recycled content of concrete and steel over lower cost items like tile.
Analyze your budget early in design to help inform which materials are more important to specify as having recycled content, this is dependent on your project construction type. Doing your homework early can prevent costly change orders during construction. Big-ticket products that often have recycled content include steel, drywall, insulation, ceiling tiles, concrete, VCT, commercial carpet, and composite substrates.
Recycled content can be pre-consumer (also known as post-industrialRefers to material diverted from the waste stream during a manufacturing process. Excluded from this category is reutilization of materials such as scrap that are generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within the same process. Generally synonymous with "pre-consumer."), or post-consumerWaste generated by end users (households or commercial, industrial and institutional facilities) of a product no longer able to be used for its intended purpose that is recycled into raw material for a new product.. These are valued differently in LEED calculations. Pre-consumer content is worth 50% of its cost value, while post-consumer is worth 100%.
DPost-consumer plastic being collected for recycling.on't assume that because an item has recycled content you can count the whole cost of that item towards the credit—the value contributing to the credit equals the percentage of recycled content times the value of the material. (See the Recycled Content Assembly Calculator in the Documentation Toolkit.)
People sometimes confuse recycled content material with material reuse and with construction waste management, but they are different:
Recycled Content material, covered in MRc4, has reused content as a result of the industrial process of making the product—for example, recycled-content carpet may be made of recycled plastic bottles.
Material Reuse, covered in MRc3, is the use or repurposing of material from a previous place or role—for example, buying antique wood doors salvaged from an old church.
At this Denver building under construction, the raised floor panels being installed have recycled steel. Photo – YRG SustainabilityConstruction Waste Management, covered in MRc2, is the act of diverting materials from the landfill during the construction process by sending to a place where the material can be repurposed, such as a salvage yard or recycling plant.
Try getting clarification from the manufacturer. If you can't get any further information, you should take a conservative approach and assume that it is pre-consumer.
LEED is very clear that no MEP or specialty items can be counted in the MR credit calculations. There are several reasons for this, including the fact that MEP items are very expensive relative to their weight, and including these materials skews the calculations and performance thresholds achieved. Also, LEED considers the performance of mechanical equipment paramount, and so consideration of these materials really falls under performance based energy and water credits.
Unless the manufacturer can provide more specific information, teams must use the lower recycled content value in the given range.
No. Per LEED InterpretationLEED Interpretations are official answers to technical inquiries about implementing LEED on a project. They help people understand how their projects can meet LEED requirements and provide clarity on existing options. LEED Interpretations are to be used by any project certifying under an applicable rating system. All project teams are required to adhere to all LEED Interpretations posted before their registration date. This also applies to other addenda. Adherence to rulings posted after a project registers is optional, but strongly encouraged. LEED Interpretations are published in a searchable database at usgbc.org. #10246, recycled content claims must be specific to installed product. Average regional and national claims do not meet the credit requirements.
This Interpretation has been misinterpreted, however, to mean that recycled content figures must come from specific plants. That is not what USGBC intended. It is allowable to use a company- and product-specific national average, as long as the company has performed the necessary tracking to assure that that average is accurate at the product SKU level.
Yes. LEED Interpretation #10246 does not apply to steel and teams may still use the default value of 25% post-consumer recycled content. Many steel products have higher levels of recycled content, however, so it may be advantageous to track down product-specific recycled content information.
Site materials (31.60.00 Foundations, 32.10.00 Paving, 32.30.00 Site Improvements, and 32.90.00 Planting) that are permanently installed can be included in the MR credits. Just be sure that your material budget assumptions and material costs are consistent across MRc3, MRc4, MRc5, MRc6, and MRc7.
Based on review comments that LEED users have reported, LEED reviewers are on the lookout for inaccurate recycled content claims in cases where a manufacturer is claiming pre-consumer recycled content for scrap material that comes off the end of a product line, and is put back in to the same line. According to common definitions, this should not be considered recycled content. This practice is common with certain kinds of glass, and metals like aluminum. Keep an eye on your documentation and do your best to make sure it is valid. If you are asked to justify a specific claim, you could get more documentation from the manufacturer, or plan on having a cushion in your credit threshold.
MRc7 counts only new wood, and MRc4 counts recycled content, so there is no overlap in the credits. You must choose one credit, and not double-dip. For products with FSC Mix and recycled content claims—including many MDF products and complex assemblies that include MDF—LEED Interpretation #10372 clarifies that project teams have to choose which "environmental attribute" they will use to classify the product, and it (and its dollar value) will either go into an FSC "bucket" or into a recycled-content "bucket."
Yes, subject to any questions that may come up during a normal LEED review process.
Look at opportunities to use recycled content materials for the project's potential "big ticket" items.
Big-ticket products that often have recycled content include: steel, drywall, insulation, ceiling tiles, concrete, VCT, commercial carpet, and composite substrates. There are more and more products in nearly every category that use recycled content as a way to help LEED projects earn this credit.
The decision to use recycled content material can help guide design decisions, such as using recycled-content steel framing instead of wood framing. However, only letting recycled content drive basic design decisions may be shortsighted and lead to tradeoffs with other credits, not to mention other environmental impact areas. Look for materials that contribute to multiple LEED credits.
This credit can often be achieved at no added cost, as there are many products with recycled content that building projects already use.
Begin by creating a baseline materials budget. This is the total amount of money that will be spent on building materials. Use the Materials Calculator from the Documentation Toolkit to compile the baseline material list in a way that facilitates adding information on environmental attributes.
Your material budget assumptions and material costs should be consistent across MRc3, MRc4, MRc5, MRc6, and MRc7. The LEED Online credit form helps ensure this automatically.
Adding Division 12 Furniture to your baseline materials budget for this credit is optional, but must be applied consistently across MRc3, MRc4, MRc5, MRc6, and MRc7. Analyze the baseline material budget to see if adding Division 12 furniture works to the project's advantage. Generally, if the furniture helps contribute to the above MR credits it is in a project's interest to take credit for it—however, it may help with some while making others more difficult.
Choose one of two options in creating a baseline budget—the default budget, or the actual budget (excluding labor). The default budget method gives you a baseline materials budget as 45% of your total budget, while the actual budget gives you a baseline based on what you actually spend.
The default budget is less time-consuming because the contractor does not have to break out the material and labor costs of items that are not being tracked for LEED credits, allowing the project to focus on tracking only the materials that contribute to LEED credits. You can take the total cost (material plus labor) of all items in the applicable CSI divisions and assume that cost of materials is 45% and labor cost is 55%. However, this option may put the project at a disadvantage in terms of getting full credit for the actual value of materials.
Include in your materials baseline budget, the material cost (excluding labor) of all items that apply under CSI MasterFormat 2004:
How do you decide whether to use the actual material cost or the default budget as your baseline? Try estimating how your actual material costs compare to the 45% default. The lower you can get the baseline, the easier it is to purchase enough recycled material to reach the credit threshold. For example, a project that is renovating an existing building may have low material and high labor costs, so it might be better to use the actual budget instead of the default approach.
Even if you are using the default budget method, you still have to break out the actual cost (cost excluding labor) of the specific items that you are tracking to contribute toward LEED MR credits.
How do you know what amount of recycled content material you need to incorporate in your project? Look at the baseline materials budget. Determine how much you need to spend on recycled content materials to reach the credit thresholds. To earn one point, allocate 10% of your material budget; for two points, allocate 20%. Go through your project's preliminary budget and identify which items could be purchased with recycled content, and what percentages of recycled content they can contribute. Do these items add up to the amount needed to get one or two points?
Use your estimated budget as a guide throughout the project. Don't fail to earn this credit because you waited until all the materials were purchased before calculating whether you used enough materials with recycled content to gain the LEED credit.
Research products by looking at product cut sheets and manufacturing data to see if a product contains recycled content. Often a product will appear to meet the credit requirements, but you'll need to ask for more specific information from the manufacturer—see the Documentation Toolkit for examples of this.
A single product or material can contribute to multiple LEED credits. For example, a chair made locally, with urea-formaldehyde-free, recycled, composite wood contributes to MRc4, MRc5, MRc6, and IEQc4.4. Not all credits allow this double-counting. Materials counted here cannot also count towards MRc3 nor MRc7—although separate components within a product can. If a product has both certified wood and recycled content steel, for example, each component can contribute to earning the appropriate credit. Focusing on products and materials with multiple environmental attributes also can limit the overall number of items that must be tracked.
Don't assume that because an item has recycled content you can count the whole cost of that item towards the credit—the value contributing to the credit equals the percentage of recycled content times the value of the material. Recycled content can be pre-consumer (also known as post-industrial) or post-consumer recycled content. These are valued differently in LEED calculations. Pre-consumer content is worth 50% of its cost value, while post-consumer is worth 100%. See the Documentation Toolkit for a Recycled Content Assembly Calculator. For example, if a piece of plywood costs $100, it has 40% pre- and 15% post-consumer content. How much of the total cost can be counted towards this credit?
Steel is a special case—all steel is made from recycled materials, and it is the only material for which LEED allows you to claim a default recycled content value (25% post-consumer) without providing any documentation. Some steel has 90% or more recycled content, however, so you're better off documenting the actual amount if you can try to get documentation from your suppliers showing their post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled content.
Drywall can be specified with synthetic gypsum, which is a byproduct or removing sulfur from the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants, and counts as pre-consumer recycled content. Before using it, however, check to see if it made in your region because the environmental impact of trucking it long distances is likely far greater than any benefit of using it instead of natural gypsum. Either way, the paper facing on drywall is almost always entirely post-consumer recycled.
When a product is made of multiple components that have different recycling rates, note the following special considerations.
The cost value for the LEED calculation is determined by separating each component as a percentage of the total by weight, while accounting for the value of pre- and post-consumer recycled content. See the assembly example below, and a calculator in the Documentation Toolkit.
Request that manufacturers provide assembly information broken down by weight.
Using the project's estimated budget early on to integrate materials with recycled content in the design and specs can help prevent costly change orders during construction.
Instead of tracking recycled content in everything, focus first on "big ticket" items, materials like concrete, structural steel, masonry products and gypsum board to see if you get enough value from them to earn the credit. This approach allows you to Iimit the overall number of items you need to track and document, reducing contractor headaches. If big-ticket items are not enough, target a medium-priced item next, and so on, until you reach your goal.
Revisit your baseline materials budget as the design evolves to make sure the numbers remain accurate and that you remain on track to achieve your goal for the credit.
Research specific products. Incorporate recycled content product requirements into individual construction specification sections.
MasterSpec and the federal Whole Building Design Guide (see Resources) offer guidance and sample specification language on how to incorporate LEED specifications in construction documents.
Incorporating the LEED requirements directly on the drawings as well as in the specs is a good way to remind the contractor and subcontractors of the requirements.
Analyze the initial cost budget to know what materials the project can target and incorporate LEED requirement language accordingly into construction specs for those specific materials. The contractor will appreciate not filling out forms for materials that are not recycled, or that have so little cost value that it is a waste of time.
Whenever possible, designate in the construction specifications that contractors use specific sources you have verified as suppliers of recycled content items. This will help save research time for the contractors and ensure credit compliance.
Include submittal requirements within each targeted construction spec section and add general requirements to the Division 1 bid package. Include copies of any submittal documents that the subcontractors and general contractor may need to fill out.
The general contractor (GC) should be oriented to all LEED construction-related issues, such as IAQ management, low-emitting materials, environmental materials tracking tools, and construction waste management.
LEED documentation and materials tracking are usually the GC's responsibility even though specific materials selection may have been already determined by the architect or designer.
The GC should hold an orientation meeting with the subcontractors to review the LEED responsibilities related specifically to their trades. This exercise helps to build trust and is crucial for obtaining buy-in from all participants in the process.
Give the GC and subcontractors the following tools to help them track materials data for all MR and IEQ credits. (See the Documentation Toolkit for access.)
Enabling coordination and communication among the GC, subcontractors and design team early in the process can minimize scheduling delays and pushback from subcontractors.
Before construction begins, research additional recycled product material availability, not already researched during the design phase to ensure that the project earns this credit. If product decisions are made after construction begins, there may be less time to carefully review data sheets and much greater risk of using a noncompliant product.
The contractor starts gathering and environmental data and cut sheets from subcontractors for approval.
The GC functions as the overall quality assurance provider for this credit. Responsibilities include conducting weekly reviews of subcontractor product submittals and tracking forms.
Review subcontractor product suggestions ahead of time to avoid the purchase of inappropriate materials and eliminate the need for costly change orders.
A master spreadsheet facilitates information collection for subcontractors, giving them a road map of exactly what types of information to collect for each product.
Assign a responsible party to input the subcontractors' tracking forms into the Materials Calculator (see Documentation Toolkit). A LEED consultant or an administrative assistant in the GC's office may be the best choice for this role.
Streamline documentation and research by taking data gathered from subs via the Environmental Material Reporting Form and transfer it into a master spreadsheet for all the items being tracked for each product across MR and IEQ credits. For example, you may need to ask the millworker for regional information for MRc5, recycled content information for MRc4, and information about adhesives installed onsite for IEQc4.1. If one spreadsheet collects all the data, it can streamline your documentation, associated research, and help with quality control. See the Documentation Toolkit for spreadsheets you can work with.
Breaking out specific materials costs (excluding labor) for construction materials that contribute to LEED credits is a requirement for LEED MR credits. Some subcontractors prefer not to do this because there are always hidden markups in the materials that subcontractors purchase at wholesale. However, you can simply include the product markup when breaking out a product's material cost from installation and labor costs.
Transfer all the data collected in the Materials Calculator spreadsheet (see Documentation Toolkit) to the LEED Online form and upload the product cut sheets.
Only a random 20% sampling of product cut sheets need to be uploaded to LEED Online to document this credit.
Keep a list of sustainable materials used on the project so that operations staff can use these products for future renovations.
Develop recycled content material procurement recommendations into a purchasing policy. If pursuing LEED-EBOM certification, that would fall under MRp1: Sustainable Purchasing Policy.
Excerpted from LEED 2009 for Schools New Construction and Major Renovations
To increase demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials, thereby reducing impacts resulting from extraction and processing of virgin materials.
Use materials with recycled content1 such that the sum of postconsumer2 recycled content plus 1/2 of the preconsumer3 content constitutes at least 10% or 20%, based on cost, of the total value of the materials in the project. The minimum percentage materials recycled for each point threshold is as follows:
The recycled content value of a material assembly is determined by weight. The recycled fraction of the assembly is then multiplied by the cost of assembly to determine the recycled content value.
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components, and specialty items such as elevators and equipment cannot be included in all calculations. Include only materials permanently installed in the project. Furniture may be included if it is included consistently in MR Credit 3: Materials Reuse through MR Credit 7: Certified WoodWood from a source that has been determined, through a certification process, to meet stated ecological and other criteria. There are numerous forest certification programs in general use based on several standards, but only the Forest Stewardship Council's standards, which include requirements that the wood be tracked through its chain-of-custody, can be used to qualify wood for a point in the LEED Rating System..
2 Postconsumer material is defined as waste material generated by households or by commercial, industrial and institutional facilities in their role as end-users of the product, which can no longer be used for its intended purpose.
3 Preconsumer material is defined as material diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. Reutilization of materials (i.e., rework, regrind or scrap generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated it) is excluded.
This LEED credit (or a component of this credit) has been established as equivalent to a SITES v2 credit or component. For more information on using the equivalency as a substitution in your LEED or SITES project, see this article and guidance document.
Establish a project goal for recycled content materials and identify material suppliers that can achieve this goal. During construction, ensure that the specified recycled content materials are installed. Consider a range of environmental, economic and performance attributes when selecting products and materials.

How much recycled content should you look for in key building products? What other sustainability criteria apply? This sample sheet from a project shows how one team set guidelines for different product areas.
Where would I find the information needed to calculate the recycled content of a finished product. If said product contains various types of wood products, glass, decorative metals, muti colored & muti brand plastic laminates, plus various types of hardware, solid surface materials of which contain different amounts of recycled content, from various manufacturers, and most distributing vendors that sell the products have never heard of LEED. There is also misc. components such as screws, Steel Brackets, shims, dowels adhesives, grommets some plastic some metal. What method of calculating should be used to determine the recycled content of the final finished product.
Esther - Do you have access to a LEED Reference Guide? In it on page 373, it gives an verbal example of how to calculate the recycled content value of a material assembly, which is done by weight. Basically (in addition to cost) you'll need the weight of the finished product, the weight of the recycled subcomponents, and the recycled content percentages (pre- and post-consumerWaste generated by end users (households or commercial, industrial and institutional facilities) of a product no longer able to be used for its intended purpose that is recycled into raw material for a new product.) for the recycled components. Please check out the Recycled Content Calculator under Documentation Toolkit link above.
Thank You Michelle, I will dig into the LEED Reference guide.
The manufactures that supplied the steel for my job all have some form of the following line in their support documentation for the recycled content:
The Manufacture...utilizes the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) process to manufacture a variety of steel products. Based on studies conducted by the Steel Recycling Institute (www.recycle-steel.org) and supported by...the Manufacture's... internal operating data, the steel products manufactured with BOF technology in the United States in 2009, which is the most recent data available, consume approximately 34.9% recycled scrap with 24.3% post-consumerWaste generated by end users (households or commercial, industrial and institutional facilities) of a product no longer able to be used for its intended purpose that is recycled into raw material for a new product. scrap, 9.4% pre-consumer scrap and 1.2% in-house scrap.
The reviewer has said this type of documentation is not allowed as it references national or industry averages. Should the manufactures not reference the Steel recycling institute in there supporting documentation? Do we need a letter that just states "the steel used on your project has x% recycled content"? I am just a bit confused on what is acceptable for documenting the manufactures recycled content claims. Thanks!
Todd - This can be confusing. Please see "The manufacturer can't give me product-specific recycled content data, but they say that they fall within the national industry average. Can I use that?" FAQ above for background information including the actual LI - http://www.usgbc.org/leed-interpretations?keys=10246.
To answer your questions, referencing the Steel Recycling Institute is not useful for supporting documentation because it is not specific to the manufacturer. Basically, yes, you do need specific information from your manufacturer, which could be a letter from the manufacturer stating the amount of recycled content. If you can't provide specific information, you can fall back to the default 25% post-consumerWaste generated by end users (households or commercial, industrial and institutional facilities) of a product no longer able to be used for its intended purpose that is recycled into raw material for a new product. waste value without any additional backup. See "Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?" still allowed.
We are working on a project for an NGO that is seeking a LEED-NC certification for their new office building. The NGO will be receiving many donations from local suppliers and businesses as well. Does anyone know how will the donated materials be calculated in the Regional and Recycled credits. It shall be noted that the material may be a big ticket items and is all new.
Nadar - I don't have any experience with this. I hope other LEEDusers will chime in including someone from USGBC who was involved in their corporate HQ LEED certification. I know that they had this situation of donated materials and earned both MRc4 and MRc5 - http://www.usgbc.org/projects/usgbc-headquarters.
In my mind, the problem is that these donated materials are not part of the overall job cost because they were donated. Hence they are not really part of the denominator of the calculations for MRc3-6.
Consider reading this post for additional information while you wait for other assistance: http://www.leeduser.com/credit/CS-2009/MRc2#comment-12094.
Is it prudent to include the Play ground equipments into the following LEED credit calculations?could anyone please share their experience in dealing with playground equipments for LEED compliants?
1.MR Credit 4: Recycled Content
2.MR Credit 5: Regional Materials
3.MR Credit 7: Certified WoodWood from a source that has been determined, through a certification process, to meet stated ecological and other criteria. There are numerous forest certification programs in general use based on several standards, but only the Forest Stewardship Council's standards, which include requirements that the wood be tracked through its chain-of-custody, can be used to qualify wood for a point in the LEED Rating System.
Thank you
Ameet, inclusion of anything in this credit and other MR credits is based on what Masterformat divisions it falls into, as discussed in the Reference Guide and other places. I'm guessing playground equipment falls into those divisions.
Looking at my MasterFormat 2004 Edition Numbers & Titles document, playground equipment is part of 11 68 00 - Play Field Equipment and Structures. Based on the MasterFormat Divisions and Sections included in the MR credits in LEED v2009, I would say you should not include this equipment in your MR calculations (Division 11 is not included). I do not, however, have any direct experience with this situation.
Thank you Tristan and Michelle.
Masterformat 2004 is useful to US projects?
All my projects are outside US. Any other alternatives?
I currently don't have any experience with specifying international projects. Do you have a local Green Building Council or professional association (architectural or construction)? I would consider starting there. Consider checking out the LEED International Roundtable - http://www.usgbc.org/about/committees/international and contacting firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ameet, is your question is about whether you can use a different system to document your LEED credits, I don't know the answer. But I am pretty sure that you will have to use MasterFormat for deciding what materials do and don't apply to LEED requirements.
How about misc. items such as fire extinguisher cabinets, interior signage & toilet accessories? These are not technically MEP, but by using the same reasoning they are very expensive in relation to their weight and can skew calculations dangerously. Should we count these anyway?
Eri - All the items that you are referencing are typically specified in CSI MasterFormat 2004 Division 10, so yes they have to be included in the overall cost for MRc3-6. I'm not sure what you mean by expensive in terms of their weight but if you have recycled content information for some items and need to get to the 10 or 20% threshold you should include them in the recycled content. However, typically I try to focus on the larger cost items to achieve the credit versus spending too much time chasing the cost of smaller dollar items.
Can you tell me if I am looking at this correctly if I choose to treat the entire concrete assembly as one entity and do not separate out the SCMs?
I have $647,167.33 in total material cost for the concrete.
19% of this by weight is Fly Ash that has 100% pre-consumer recycled content. Another 9% by weight is Portland cement that has 8.5% pre-consumer recycled content. The rest is made up of components that do not have any recycled content.
To determine the concrete's pre-consumer recycled content do I add the following numbers:
$122,961.79 (this is 19% of the total concrete material cost, 100% of which is pre-consumer Fly Ash)
$4,950.83 (this is 9% of the total, or $58,245.06 and then 8.5% of that number which is pre-consumer Portland cement)
So the total pre-consumer content value of the concrete assembly is $127,912.62 – right?
Yes, that looks right. Of course, you then have to divide that final number by 2 to get the contribution of the pre-consumer recycled content to the total recycled content.
Nadav - Thanks for the assistance. It is greatly appreciated as always.
I recently recieved recycled content information for a products packaging, caulking tubes, paint pails, etc. I also recieved a letter from one manufacturer that states these are inherent to the material and are considered part of the product and are recognized by LEED, referencing a document called "LEED for Product Manufacturers" and the Recycled Content credit section of the reference guide as support. I cannot find this in the reference guide or locate the product manufactuers document. So...does packaging count for these type items? And if so, can someone please point me to where this is explained in the context of LEED?
Kasey, see the credit language above. You can only count materials "permanently installed" on a project. This would not include packaging. Product packaging is covered under MRc2—making it recyclable may be more important in some ways than whether it is recycled.
I have a question about tracking the recycled content for rebar. Considering the various metal components included in rebar, can you include letters from all relevant manufacturers with their percentages of recycled content and then use the lowest percentage for the line item for the formula? I know there is the default percentages, however, on average the various percentages are in the 90s. Thanks for any advice.
Nell, I am a little confused on whether you are talking about rebar from different suppliers, or different metals included in rebar. If the latter, it seems more complicated to me, more math involved--if the former, your approach sounds reasonable.
Hi Tristan,
Thanks for following up. It's one manufacturer, but the steel mill source includes two different companies with different recycled content values for the steel. Would it still be reasonable and acceptable for LEED for this credit to take the lower of the two? Thanks so much,
When this credit is audited and the total back-up documentation is requested, what does LEED require aside from the cut-sheets/MSDS1. Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are detailed, written instructions documenting a method to achieve uniformity of performance.
2. A report that manufacturers of most products are required to make available to installers and purchasers, informing them of product information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures, the existence of potentially hazardous ingredients, and providing instructions for the safe handling, storage, and disposal of products/letter from manufacturer that specifically identifies the % and type of recycled content? Sorry if I missed where that information was listed within the resources/checklist page...
Nothing else. Just the things you've mentioned--any official documentation from the supplier verifying the information you've provided in the credit form.
Nell, also to clarify, auditing is not something that is happening any more. You just need to supply the requested documetnation up-front for the regular review.
This question pertains to all of the following credits: MRc3, MRc4, MRc5, MRc6, MRc7, and IEQc4.
In order to document each of these credits, the forms on LEED Online asks you to indicate a cost per item and number of items purchased, which then calculates sustainable criteria percentages based on those numbers. Our contractor only provided the total material cost for each product, and does not have that separated into the two categories (cost per item and number of items purchased) that LEED requests. Would it be possible to enter the total material cost under the cost per item and 1 under the number of items purchased? You will arrive at the same number whether the cost is broken down or not. When the credits are submitted, will the reviewing board accept or reject this approach to documentation?
This is an interesting predicament. It really shows how much easier this whole thing is if the process is set up well--ideally the contractor would have the credit calculator from the beginning of construction (perhaps even be responsible for filling it out), and would have been collecting the data in the way you need from day one. It always causes problems when you don't start documenting something until after it's done.
Getting off my soapbox now... I can only say that what you're proposing might be accepted, but it's also likely to lead a reviewer to wonder whether the data you've entered is reliable, and trigger a request to see back-up documentation. So you can go ahead and enter it that way now, but be prepared to go back to your contractor for more details (and perhaps even documents validating those details), if the reviewers ask for it.

Hi all,
I'm going to replace the fork oil and I forgot what the capacity is?
- How much total fork oil I need for BOTH forks? (I just want to see how many quarts I need to buy. I know the actual volume is set by oil level)
- I have a quart of Honda SS7 (what I have in the fork now) and a quart of Belray fork oil. Can I mix the 2 together?
- I think I'll just suck out whatever I could from the fork top and refill it.

Crunchy Baked Potatoes With Maldon Salt
Harvested by hand from the waters off Essex, England, Maldon sea salt crystals have a great crunch and a remarkably subtle, briny flavor. Uncomplicated foods, such as baked potatoes, show it off to its best advantage.
Slideshow:Delicious, Quick Side Dishes
- Servings: 4
- 2 pounds small red or Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2 inches in diameter), scrubbed
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Maldon sea salt
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 450°. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Arrange them on the oven rack and bake them for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, or until hard and crisp when tapped with a fork.
Using a serrated knife, split the potatoes without cutting them all the way through. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Maldon salt and serve.

I use the same name EVERY WHERE, astromechs, mando mercs, mydellmini, rslinks, aspireoneuser, deviant art, etc.
Nomad just joined up over at the Mercs too so you guys keep your eyes open for her!
yeps, saw her earlier today over there.
Ok guys here are a bunch of pics!
The first three are of my work shop/bench. The next two are my my loads of collected materials (the junk piles at work are treasure troves!). In the last pic on the top row you can see an old heater box that i'll bee using part of for a flame thrower and a potential lightsaber.#
The boxes are (in order) random greebles/lightsaber parts, armor/jetpack parts (that cone is the nozzel used for mid-air refueling of military planes!), gauntlet making materials, and blaster parts.
The first armor pic is my back armor: except for the collar which will need shaping they fit really well. The second is my ab and lower back plates stacked together to give you an idea of the "stacked" or "extra thick" look that most of my plates will have when I'm done.
The three pics of blue plates (no pun intended) are what were going to be (still might but I'm undecided) thigh plates. I cut then out of a trash can I had around, only to realize when i tried to clean them up with a razor knife and they snapped, that they are a different plastic than the white cans. I want my armor to be really durable (I plan to get "real" battle damage on them by playing paintball/airsoft in it) so I'm not sure I want something so brittle. They might be ok if i stack a white plate on top of them tough, we'll see.
So yeah that's where I'm at!
Oh and I'm going to be building a lightsaber for Levi to hang on his belt, so more one that (probably a whole new thread) soon!

looks good
sweet! and feel free to call me Levi
looking like progress is good, keep it up.
Here's a general idea of what my beskar will look like. The differences being I'll have a fin on top, a light on one side, and a short antenna on the other side of the helmet. Also my chest armor, my thigh plates, and probably my bicep plates will be double thickness, one slightly smaller plate glue onto a larger base plate thus providing a layered edge. My shin plates and shoulder bells on the other hand will have diamond-tread rubber matting glued on top to give my armor a rough "I can kick you butt" look. I'll be making my gaunts out of soccer shin guards, then highly modified.

Nystagmus is a condition that causes involuntary, rapid movement of one or both eyes. Nystagmus often occurs with vision problems, including blurriness.
This condition is sometimes called "dancing eyes."
Symptoms of nystagmus
The symptoms include fast, uncontrollable eye movements. The direction of movement determines the type of nystagmus:
- Horizontal nystagmus involves side-to-side eye movements.
- Vertical nystagmus involves up-and-down eye movements.
- Rotary, or torsional, nystagmus involves circular movements.
These movements may occur in one or both eyes depending on the cause.
Types of nystagmus
Nystagmus occurs when the part of the brain or inner ear that regulates eye movement and positioning doesn't function correctly. The labyrinth is the outer wall of the inner ear that helps you sense movement and position. It also helps control eye movements. The condition can be either genetic or acquired.
Infantile nystagmus syndrome
Congenital nystagmus is called infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). It may be an inherited genetic condition. INS typically appears within the first six weeks to three months of a child's life. This type of nystagmus is usually mild and isn't typically caused by an underlying health problem. In rare cases, a congenital eye disease could cause INS.
Most people with INS will not need treatment and don't have complications later in life. In fact, many people with INS don't even notice their eye movements. However, vision challenges are common. Vision problems can range from mild to severe, and many people require corrective lenses or decide to have corrective surgery.
Acquired nystagmus
Acquired, or acute, nystagmus can develop at any stage of life. It often occurs due to injury or disease. Acquired nystagmus typically occurs due to events that affect the labyrinth in the inner ear.
Possible causes of acquired nystagmus
Possible causes of acquired nystagmus include:
- stroke
- certain medications, including sedatives and antiseizure medications like phenytoin (Dilantin)
- excessive alcohol consumption
- head injury or trauma
- disease of the eye
- diseases of the inner ear
- B-12 or thiamine deficiencies
- brain tumors
- diseases of the central nervous system, including multiple sclerosis
When to seek treatment for nystagmus
See your doctor if you begin to notice the symptoms of nystagmus. Acquired nystagmus always occurs due to an underlying health condition. You'll want to determine what that condition is and how best to treat it.
Diagnosing nystagmus
If you have congenital nystagmus, you'll need to see an eye doctor called an ophthalmologist if the condition worsens or if you're concerned about your vision.
Your ophthalmologist can diagnose nystagmus by performing an eye exam. They'll ask you about your medical history to determine if any underlying health problems, medications or environmental conditions may be contributing to your vision problems. They may also:
- measure your vision to determine the type of vision problems you have
- conduct a refraction test to determine the correct lens power you'll need to compensate for your vision problems
- test how your eyes focus, move, and function together to look for problems that affect control of your eye movements or make it hard to use both eyes together
If your ophthalmologist diagnoses you with nystagmus, they may recommend that you see your primary care physician to address any underlying health conditions. They may also give you some tips for what to do at home to help you cope with nystagmus.
Your primary care physician can help determine what's causing your nystagmus. They'll first ask about your medical history and then perform a physical exam.
If your doctor cannot determine the cause of your nystagmus after taking your history and performing a physical exam, they'll run various tests. Blood tests can help your doctor rule out any vitamin deficiencies. Imaging tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs can help your doctor determine if any structural abnormalities in your brain or head are causing your nystagmus.
Treating nystagmus
Treatment for nystagmus depends on whether the condition is congenital or acquired. Congenital nystagmus doesn't require treatment, although the following may help improve your vision:
- eyeglasses
- contact lenses
- increased lighting around the house
- magnifying devices
Sometimes, congenital nystagmus lessens over the course of childhood without treatment. If your child has a very severe case, their doctor may suggest a surgery called a "tenotomy" to change the position of the muscles that control eye movement. Such surgery cannot cure nystagmus, but it can reduce the degree to which your child needs to turn their head to improve their vision.
If you have acquired nystagmus, treatment will focus on the underlying cause. Some common treatments for acquired nystagmus include:
- changing medications
- correcting vitamin deficiencies with supplements and dietary adjustments
- brain surgery for central nervous system disorders or brain diseases
- medicated eye drops for eye infections
- antibiotics for infections of the inner ear
- botulinum toxin to treat severe disturbances in vision caused by eye movement
- special glasses lenses called prisms
Outlook for people who have nystagmus
Nystagmus may improve over time with or without treatment. However, nystagmus usually never goes away completely.
The symptoms of nystagmus can make daily tasks more challenging. For instance, those with severe nystagmus may not be able to get a driver's license, which can limit their mobility and require them to make transportation arrangements on a regular basis.
Sharp eyesight is also important if you're handling or operating potentially dangerous equipment or equipment requiring precision. Nystagmus can limit the types of occupations and hobbies you have.
Another challenge of severe nystagmus is finding caregiver help. If you have very poor eyesight, you may need help carrying out daily activities. If you need assistance, it's important to ask for it. Limited eyesight may increase your chances of injury. The American Nystagmus Network has a list of helpful resources. You should also ask your doctor about the resources they recommend.

W. B. Silvey's Daughter Tries to Encourage Her Grieving Grandmother
Washington Times
"I have about given up hope,? sobbed Mrs. Silvey today. But she still clings to the faint chance that her son may be aboard some ship.
Mr. Silvey's daughter, who is a student at Farmington, Conn., was in New York to meet her parents, were on board the Titanic. Knowing that her grandmother was greatly distressed over the safety of her son, the girl wrote a short letter which reached the Silvey apartments this morning.
Mrs. Frances Silvey Deshler, sister of Mr. Silvey, leaves for New York tonight to meet the Carpathia. Mrs. Silvey, among the rescued, probably will return to Washington with Mrs. Deshler.

Heel fissures, also known as cracked heels can be a simple cosmetic problem and a nuisance, but can also lead to serious medical problems. Heel fissures occur when the skin on the bottom, outer edge of the heel becomes hard, dry and flaky, sometimes causing deep fissures that can be painful or bleed.
Heel fissures can affect anyone, but risk factors include: Living in a dry climate Obesity Consistently walking barefoot or wearing sandals or open-backed shoes Inactive sweat glands Like many foot conditions, heel fissures can become more dangerous if they go untreated and become deep or infected. This is especially dangerous for people with diabetes or compromised immune systems.
Moisturizing the feet regularly can prevent heel fissures. Once they occur, you can use a pumice stone daily to gently decrease the thick and flaky layer of skin. Avoid going barefoot or wearing open-backed shoes, sandals or shoes with thin soles. Shoes with strong shock absorption can help to improve the condition. Moisturizing the feet at least twice a day and wearing socks over moisturizer while sleeping can also help.

Garber said money was St. Louis' "primary concern." Jeff Cooper, who heads the ownership group for the proposed St. Louis franchise, said that money has been the league's "constant refrain as we've gone through this process. We're probably being held to a little higher standard. We've been looking to strengthen our group and will continue to do so."
"I think the commissioner knows what a great soccer city St. Louis is," Cooper said. "It would be a great, supportive atmosphere. Everything about the bid is strong, and in line." Although it's worth recapping that any future team won't be in St. Louis at all, but 23 miles away in the city of Collinsville, Ill.

#8661 confirmed Bug
Copy paste table does not retain table width - style attribute in not copied
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Core : Pasting
Description (last modified by j.swiderski)
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a table (default values are fine)
- Place the cursor in the first cell and click/drag to highlight the rest of the table
- Paste the table in the editor
Expected result: The pasted table retains the width of the copied table
Actual result: The pasted table appears very small and has the minimum column width possible (screenshot attached)
Workaround: Copy the table by placing the cursor outside of the table when highlighting it. The table pastes properly this way.
The problem is reproducible on the ckeditor.com/demo application.

Add Your Review
for the DAC-01A
This was also sold by Grant Fidelity as DAC-09. It is still widely sold on Ebay (and no doubt elsewhere) as the DAC-01a. It's sold as a DAC, headphone amplifier, and [with some hunting] you can change internal jumpers to make the RCA outs variable (not fixed) so it's a "normal" pre too. Choice of transistor or tube outputs (use 6N3 tube). Digital ins: USB, SPDIF (coax, optical); two RCA ins. My unit has worked flawlessly out of the box, two weeks now. There are ("were"?) reviews of the DAC-09 on Grant web site. I'll skip all the oohs and aahs about "how it sounds..." most of that is subjective bullshit anyway. It's a capable little pre and did I mention CHEAP!!!
Product Weakness: No turn on/off muting. Only sold on internet from China, the usual risks apply. Product Strengths: cheap, adequate, flexible digital inputs, two RCA ins, doubles as a headphone and pre amp.
