Thanks. I'm more interested in Linux, probably a lightweight version like openelec, but I can do Ubuntu too.
RE: From which Group do you belong!? - mikeybs - 2013-01-24
I am looking for as close to a prebuilt system as possible that suits my needs. I am pretty confident I will be choosing one of the zotac units, I am basically debating between all of the ones in the group 6 list as well as the ZBOX-ID82-U in group 7. I want to pick one and settle on it as my plan is to make a few copies of it for friends and family after I set it up as it will contains our entire collection of family videos (lots of 1080p ones) and photos. I want to have identical hardware in each unit. Some of the units in group 6 seem to not be sold anymore or are at least difficult to find online. Whatever I get I want it to still be easy to get another new one in 6 months (newegg or amazon preferred).
So here are the contenders
Zotac ZBOXNANO-AD10-U
Zotac ZBOX-AD02-U
Zotac ZBOX-AD03BR-U
Zotac ZBOXNSX-AD11-PLUS-U
Zotac ZBOX-AD04-U
Zotac ZBOX-ID82-U
I plan on running linux on it, hopefully openelec although I haven't used it yet, maybe under ubuntu, or possibly another distro, looking for max stability and easy updates. My current install is on a desktop running ubuntu precise with 4gb ram with frodo rc3 using the unstable xbmc repo, and although I get the occasional lock up and I have to kill xbmc.bin manually, overall it is a great experience, I run in standalone mode.
The preassembled units all seem to come with 2GB ram (will 2gb of ram be enough for xbmc to do everything smoothly and snappily? all add-ons as well?) and either 320GB drive or 64GB SSD neither of which is enough for my 900GB collection. So I would have to either tack a usb drive on each one, or put a new 1TB 2.5" internal drive in each one (if I do this I might as well go for a barebones unit). My concern with a usb drive is there will be multiple usb devices connected, at minimum an IR receiver, and possibly an external blu ray drive, and in the long term maybe another usb drive if more storage is needed. Running under linux will I run into problems with my mount points changing if these devices are disconnected and reconnected by accident or when moving the unit?
I've read in some places that amd 350 models sometimes have trouble with high quality flash video. I definitely want enough power that all flash playback is very smooth.
The Zotac ZBOX-AD03BR-PLUS-U is interesting because of the onboard blu ray. Have all the blu ray linux bugs been ironed out? It seems they will play fine using makemkv from what I have read. Will they also rip nicely on linux using swiss army knife or another plugin? Would the ZBOX-AD03BR-PLUS-U be able to rip a blu ray and simultaneously be able to play another 1080P movie from the hard drive smoothly? Would any of my considered models be able to do that if I use an external blu ray?
However the Zotac ZBOX-AD03BR-PLUS-U does not seem to come as a barebones unit if I decide to go with a new 1TB internal.
Some of those units have S/PDIF optical audio out and some do not. Does that provide better quality than the audio coming over the HDMI? Some people may have a receiver that does not have HDMI, but it does have S/PDIF, so if I don't get a unit with S/PDIF I imagine they will be forced to run analog audio to their receiver... correct? Does the S/PDIF run well under linux and will it provide noticeably better quality than analog?
Sorry to blather but I have a lot of considerations in my mind lol. Anyone want to make a recommendation for me based on my concerns and intended uses? I suppose I am also open to non-Zotac options, but barebones is the minimum for me, and completely preassembled is preferred, I don't want to be hooking up motherboards and processors. And of course, as long as it can do all I want, minimum cost
RE: From which Group do you belong!? - dtjensen - 2013-02-05
I have been doing research on which way to go (build or buy) for the past two or three weeks. I really want to get the new Intel i3 with the 4000 graphics. So, I picked some components I think will work, but I would really like someone with more experience to tell me if I will have any conflicts with these. I have heard of memory chips, PSUs and other components blocking others. Obviously, I am very new to this. So, any input is appreciated.
If it matters, I'd be in the #6 group - no 3D movies, but lots of 1080p movies stored on a Synology NAS DS412+. I'll be accessing the files over WLAN. Here are the components in my shopping cart as I type:
Crucial 64GB SSD
Kingston Technology HyperX 4 GB Kit (2x2 GB Modules)
Gigabyte LGA 1155 DDR3 1600 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Motherboard GA-H77N-WIFI
Antec ISK 300-150 Black Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case 150 Watt Power Supply
Intel Core i3-3225 Dual-Core Processor 3.3 GHz 3 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80637i33225
I don't think the Antec case can take another fan, so I did not include one of those. The total so far is $434. If I bought a pre-built, I was looking at the Zotac ID83, but I can't find prices on that yet. So, I don't know how much I'm saving. But, if there are not issues with this combination of components, I'm gonna move forward with these and be happy.
Please let me know if I have forgotten any components in the list. One thing I still have to solve for is a BluRay Drive to rip my movies. I will either buy an external one and plug it up to my laptop or see if it makes sense to include a drive in this build. If you have thoughts on which would be the best route, I'm open to that as well.
Great forum and great thread!
Thanks for all the useful information. I would not be this far along without you.
RE: From which Group do you belong!? - BrainSlugs83 - 2013-02-05
Not seeing my group here at all.
Basically, I have SD, but want to be able to play my HD files without re-encoding them (I have other HD devices, also, I plan to upgrade my SD projector to HD someday).
I have an 1024x768 VGA projector -- it has an adapter that does VGA to component, so I can hook-up hi-def things like Xbox 360 via the analog cables -- but it's certainly not a hi-def projector -- at any rate. It can do hi-def resolutions, it just down samples them to 16:9 displayed on 1024x768 (i.e. 1024 x 576, vertically centered), though the computer down samples much better -- and either way, it looks much sharper than any SD TV I've ever owned (partially, because it's progressive-scan, of course).
In the meanwhile, you can just say I have an SD-TV, with VGA -- certainly no HDMI -- but I want to be able to play 1080p (etc) -- so that I don't need to re-encode all my media (again, I plan to upgrade to HD, and I have 40" HD in the bedroom).
Currently, for the projector, I'm getting by with an ATOM 330 (Intel Chipset) w/ a PCI (not PCIe!) ATI HD 55xx accelerator (it has HDMI output for when the time to upgrade comes) -- it seems to be able to play pretty much everything but 1080p Hi10p files -- but I can re-encode those and they play fine. Though, I want to look into what other things I can do with it. :-)

The i3 NUC will do everything in Group #7
The Celeron 847 NUC is a strong Group #6, possible #7 if SBS 3D is ok (it's been shown to work in the Intel NUC thread).

Sounds perfect I'll go with Celeron now.
Was in a bit dilemma which one to go with celeron or i3.
I guess I can build complete Celeron NUC with the $$ that I can spend for a barebone i3.
Else, any suggestions please?

Windows or Linux/OpenELEC? Windows 7 + XBMC with the internal player is a no-go with the Celeron 847. It's reported to work fine with Windows 8. I've personally tested the Celeron 847 with a different brand motherboard and it works brilliantly with OpenELEC. There's a long thread all about the Celeron 847 (albeit in mini-ITX form not NUC form) you might want to take a look at.
RE: From which Group do you belong!? - freak1 - 2013-03-12
I'll take a look into that thread. And I'm planning to use as WIN 8 + XBMC. Will it be perfect?
Thanks for all the info Dougie

It is reported to work. I have not tried it myself to say for sure. Worse comes to worse, you'd have to configure an external player for XBMC. I tried Windows Media Player and it played 1080p MKVs very nicely so it's just a matter of having a player that supports DXVA for GPU acceleration because the Intel 2000 HD GPU played everything I threw at it.

I've got a Trane YCC42F Combination Cooling/Gas Heat HVAC unit. Worked fine all last winter (my first winter in this home) and this winter up until last night. We woke this morning to a heater blowing cold air and a house in the mid-50's degrees.
The unit is located on my roof. I turned off the thermostat in the house, went up, opened the unit, and had my wife turn the heat on while I was at the unit.
The fan comes on, but I get no other action. No gas flow, no electric ignitor clicking, no flames.
Is there a simple solution to this or do I need to call a tech?

Rebecca Blaevoet works on the company website at Tactile Vision Graphics in Windsor on Tuesday, May 19, 2015.
Blaevoet is upset with Transit Windsor
after a bus driver refused to help the blind woman find her stop. (TYLER BROWNBRIDGE/The Windsor Star)
Windsor is a particularly challenging city to navigate for the visually impaired, says newcomer Rebecca Blaevoet.
Every time she rides the bus, she approaches the front with assistance from her seeing-eye dog, then asks the driver to alert her upon arrival at her stop.
As a frequent transit user, she quickly became acquainted with the driver from her route. Despite her reminders at the beginning of each ride, he would often drive past the stop without remembering to let her off.
This simple mistake was inconvenient but understandable, says Blaevoet, 47. What she could not understand was the driver's attitude.
"One day he said, 'Listen, you're a blind lady. You should have somebody with you,'" recalls Blaevoet, who was "gobsmacked" by this response.
She filed a complaint to Transit Windsor, and was told the driver would be spoken to about his comment.
"Windsor is really dragging its feet in terms of accessibility," said Blaevoet. "It compares to a city 30 years ago."
She believes this unpleasant situation and others like it could have been avoided if Windsor buses were equipped with audible stop announcements.
"Most cities I've lived in since 2010 have had them," said Blaevoet, who has lived in 11 cities in her adult life. "Brantford even has them, and Brantford is half the size of Windsor."
Pat Delmore, the executive director of Transit Windsor, says the addition of audible stop announcements in Windsor buses is "on its way as we speak."
City council approved $1.7 million for transit technology improvements in the capital budget, he noted.
"We are in an open request-for-proposal stage right now and we are about to award the tender for this. It is part of the technology improvements that will be part of this report that will be going to council for approval."
The announcements will be both audible and visual, he explained, with a sign on the bus stating what the next stop will be.
"Typically it takes about 12 to 18 months for implementation. This is one of the first and one of the biggest things that we'll be implementing," said Delmore.
"There has always been a demand for it, and we recognize many other transit properties in Ontario have them. It has been on our wish list."
For the time being, he encourages passengers with vision impairments to seek assistance from bus drivers.
"The passenger can ask the driver for assistance, and that has always worked well," he said. "We've even had multiple compliments called in where our drivers are going above and beyond."
Blaevoet would disagree. Beyond advocating for improved accessibility in the transit system, she is also actively pushing for the addition of more accessible pedestrian signals in Windsor.
Currently, there are 10 crossing signals in the city that advise pedestrians who are visually impaired when they have the right-of-way to cross, and in which direction. There are plans to install two more accessible pedestrian signals shortly.
"The city wants to introduce these for the benefit of the visually impaired community," said Ward 9 Coun. Hilary Payne. "Each of those is $9,000," he added. "They're not cheap."
The new signals will be installed at the intersections of Pillette Road and Wyandotte Street East, as well as Sunset Avenue and University Avenue West, said Payne.
"If an intersection is going to be reconstructed, then the city is legally obliged to install the audio pedestrian signals," he noted. "With regard to the other existing crossings, that will depend on the budget process from year to year."
Shauna Boghean is the orientation and mobility instructor at the Windsor and Essex-Kent chapter of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. With regard to accessibility, she thinks Windsor is "on the right track, but has a long way to go."
"We at the CNIB asked for more accessible pedestrian crossings, and they have been installed. The conversation is happening," she said, adding that she would still like to see more.
"For some members of Windsor's visually impaired community, crossing a busy traffic area like Tecumseh without audible traffic signals is virtually impossible."
For Thomas Bannister, president of the Windsor-Essex Low Vision Social and Support Group, crossing certain intersections in Windsor can be a scary experience.
"When I approach the corner, I listen for the traffic and if I hear it going in front of me, I know that I shouldn't cross. If I hear it go beside me, I know that I can cross," said Bannister, 72.
He and his wife Lynn, who is legally blind, have lived in Windsor for seven years. They have been honked at and nearly hit by cars on multiple occasions.
The couple says negative interactions with Windsor bus drivers are "common," and they are often treated the same way Blaevoet described.
Like the Bannisters, Blaevoet is unimpressed with the "reactionary attitude" in Windsor about accessibility.
"I'm going to keep championing until improvement happens," she said. "City council had better get ready, because they haven't seen the end of me."

Last night at Sixth Engine, CNN and National Journal hosted "Politics on Tap," a joint interview by CNN's Jake Tapper and NJ's Ron Fournier's of Sen. John McCain preceded by a panel discussion with CNN's Peter Hamby and Brianna Keilar and NJ's Michelle Cottle on pressing political issues.
The former presidential hopeful covered a lot of topical ground, including the downed Malaysia Airlines flight earlier that day, immigratio
Asked by Tapper who from the Republican Party could run against Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, McCain said, "I think we have a long list of people that could defeat Hillary Clinton. I think that Chris Christie is one. Jeb Bush is another. John Kasich is another. We've got some very successful governors that have done very well in their states that I think once exposed to the American people could be very competitive."

Time Magazine has a blockbuster special report out this week by Steven Brill, entitled Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us. I recommend you bookmark it now, and read it when you have a couple of hours to spare. It's long- very long. Its length is more than justified, however, by the importance and complexity of the subject it covers.
A few years ago I cut myself deeply and had to go to the ER. It was a routine visit, I just needed stitched up and sent on my way. I got a bill, and it was high, but not outrageous. I was fortunate to have good insurance, so I was not too worried, because outside of my $100 ER copay, my insurer picked up the tab. But I did look at the bill. One thing I noticed was a $4.00 charge for Ibuprofen- 800 milligrams. I thought to myself- "this has got to be a big part of why healthcare is so dang expensive in this country".
Essentially, that story is the premise of the article. Brill breaks down the itemized bills of 7 different patients, and tries to get at the root of why things cost so much. In the process, he finds standard practices of double and even triple billing, 400% markups (or more!) on devices, procedures and lab work, and pharmaceutical costs that are higher in the US than anywhere else in the world- and extend well beyond "research and development costs". He finds that non-profit hospitals are generally more profitable than for-profit ones, and that the bills for uninsured people who cannot afford care are higher than the bills for those with good insurance who can. Really, read the article.
The major problem with the cost of medical care is that it is generally required. When you need care, you need it. As a consumer, you are in a really, really poor bargaining position. Do you want this potentially life-saving care or not? If so, pay us what we are charging you. You want this drug that will dramatically increase your quality of life? It costs a third of your monthly income. If we can, we are willing to pay it, because it is so important. The problem is that all the links in the food chain know this as well, and they all add their own sizable markup into the final cost, knowing full well that it is the ultimate seller's market.
And, at the end of the day, thank God for modern medicine. When my young son was hospitalized with pneumonia, what a blessing that he got such great care at the Children's Hospital. When my dad got a pacemaker, it was truly something to be grateful for. The fact that there are costs associated with these miracles is an inevitable truth. But are the astronomical costs always warranted? This article presents a powerful case that they are not.
In the meantime, though, this is how it is, and we consumer citizens are pretty powerless. There is nothing else in modern life that will put you into astronomical debt and financial ruin quicker than a medical event. There will always be accidents and diseases that are beyond our control. But the best thing we can do to limit our exposure to the behemoth of the medical-industrial complex is to fastidiously safeguard our own health.
While our ability to control for all aspects of our health is limited, it is something we can influence. Genetics are what they are, of course, and our environments are sometimes pretty unhealthy. However, there are lifestyle adaptations that we can make that are likely to make a significant difference in our vulnerability to many, many major (expensive) illnesses. As I've discussed elsewhere, there are five major categories of lifestyle factors that most impact wellness:
Robust engagement with these five variables can be protective against a lot of illnesses. They aren't perfectly effective, of course, but they help, and they have the distinct advantage of being largely under our control. Sadly, while they are behaviors that we can choose or not, they are often very difficult to control, especially in the context of busy and stressful modern lives.
Often psychological processes impact these variables negatively. We might use food as a means to avoid difficult emotions, or we may skip the gym so as to not come into contact with experiences of inadequacy or self-judgment. It is really common to react to a perception that one is impoverished for time by eliminating adaptive behaviors that help manage stress and remain rested. Never mind that this often leaves us less productive and our lives more chaotic- it can give us the feeling of being in control, even when that comes at the expense of actual control.
That's not to mention the ways in which our social relationships can fray and become strained. Maintaining healthy social relationships is vital to both mental and physical health, and often our family histories, stress levels and entrenched patterns of behavior wreak havoc in our social lives- among friends, families and colleagues.
These are not just things that happen to "some people", as we're often led to believe, given the treatment of psychological health by the popular media. These are struggles that hit home for folks in all walks of life, from the high-strung type-A executive to the line worker at the local plant, from the soldier to the stay at home parent. Life often throws more at us than we believe we can handle, and we adapt in ways that are ultimately unhealthy. This tendency is not bound by socioeconomic status, race, gender or nationality. It is human.
Paying attention to behavioral health is vital if one is to succeed in managing the lifestyle factors that are influential in either causing or protecting against illness. Sometimes, that may mean getting help from a qualified professional- a licensed counselor, psychologist, marriage and family therapist or clinical social worker. Certainly, these professionals are not your front line when you get sick- thank goodness for Docs and hospitals- but they can play a key role in helping to prevent you from getting there in the first place.

The Pantages operated as the Roxy until 1978 when it was closed to be renovated. My father took my older brothers and sisters to see "Star Wars" there in May 1977.
There were seats for 2,700 when this theater opened, making it the largest in Seattle (until the Seattle Theatre/Paramount was born).
Excellent detail and photos about this theater here:
I was at dinner tonight with a friend who lives near the Northgate, and I asked her about the status of the theater. She said it was just decided (within the past week or two) that the building will be torn down.
The Green Lake was considered a very modern theater when it opened on August 5, 1937. An ad declared it "As Modern as Tomorrow." It was acclaimed as one of the Northwest's finest theaters with its Mirrophonic sound, air conditioning, and a capacity of 750 patrons — "every seat a loge chair."
On opening night, the movie shown was "3 Smart Girls" starring Deanna Durbin.
At some point the theater's address was changed. The grand opening ad lists the address at 7111 Woodlawn Avenue.
The Green Lake Theater closed in 1950.
The Liberty Theatre was built in 1914 by C.S. Jensen and John G. von Herberg; it had a capacity of 1,700.
According to Jacqueline Williams in her book "The Hill With A Future: Seattle's Capitol Hill 1900-1946," the Venetian Theatre was built at a cost of $150,000 by S.R. Gargas, an Oakland, Calif., showman. The theater had 900 seats and was patterned after an Italian music house. Opening night was Nov. 16, 1926, and the feature attraction was "Hold That Lion" with Douglas MacLean.
The Venetian was sold in 1927 to theater magnates Jensen & Von Herberg. John Hamrick acquired it around 1949. The last show was on Dec. 31, 1958, and the building was razed in 1959 to make way for a Foodland supermarket.
Great photos and history at this site:
This theater was originally named the Society Theatre.
This theater is officially closed now. The reasons for the closure are nothing we haven't heard before. Here is a story from The Bremerton Sun newspaper:
Port Orchard's Plaza Twin theater closes after 25 years
By Travis Baker, Sun Staff
May 4, 2005
Caught in a squeeze between longer runs for films in first-run movie houses and increasingly early release of movies on DVD, the 25-year-old Plaza Twin theater in Port Orchard has closed.
Owner Bob Geiger closed it after the final showings of "The Aviator," "Are We There Yet?" and "Hitch" a week ago.
The site had been a theater since 1923, Geiger said, run first by the Knights of Pythias who used the upstairs as a lodge hall, and then for years as the D&R.
Geiger was one of 13 city businessmen who formed the Port Orchard Improvement Corp. in 1980 to remodel the single screen theater, which had been closed for 18 years, into a twinplex. They opened in April of that year.
It never made money, he said. He took over as sole owner in the early 1990s. It has been drawing only between 50 and 100 moviegoers a week, he said.
It may not have screened its last movie, despite the closure. Geiger said he'll be happy to rent it to groups and show a film if they wish.
"In California, they have a number of theaters with the same problems and they are having good success renting them out for special events," he said.
He has been restoring the upstairs for three years since a live theater group moved out, he said. It was in sad shape after years of temporary renovations into sets for one play after another.

He is refinancing the building and hopes to have the upstairs ready for parties and special occasions later this year.
"The movie industry is a strange industry, a complete autocracy and monopoly," he said, "and they do what they want to do and don't care about anything else." The box office is down nationwide, and "they won't give us anything until it leaves the first-run theaters."

"It's really been a big job keeping that thing going, I had an altruistic attitude that I didn't want to have a flea market or boarded-up building. We tried to keep it up but the elements of the industry are shooting us down."
Does anyone know what happened to the chandeliers that hung in the lobby? They were spectacular.
A little history from the Varsity's Web site:
The Varsity has been operating as a movie theatre since 1940. Since there was no room to build outward, the theatre was expanded vertically with the addition of two upstairs screens in 1985. These smaller auditoriums feature high-back ultra-cushy seats with large wall-to-wall screens.
I just noticed that this theater is "closed for repairs."
This theater was also known as the State at some point. Great photos at View link
Was this theater also known as the Neace?
This theater was originally known as the Edgemont.
This theater was also known as the Paramount in the 1920s.
This theater is now home to the Auburn Avenue Theater group — a local community theater. They do dinner theater (mostly musicals), and the troupe's shows are quite popular.
The building itself is about 100 years old. It has served in a variety of capacities — carriage house, bus depot, movie theater and live theater. For the last 15 years it has been family owned and operated.

This theater was also known as the Rex.
The current total of seats at Taproot is 228. Renovation and conversion to live theater cut the number of seats.
Isn't this site now a drugstore?
My mom boasts that she stood just feet away from Grace Kelly at this theater.
Formerly known as the Greenwood Grand, this theater is now the home to the Taproot Theatre Company.

Dozens of museum employees gathered outside the Air and Space Museum Wednesday, asking for their jobs back during the government shutdown.
News4's Chris Gordon spoke with several federal employees who say the furloughs are hurting them in more ways than one.
"I'm a single parent," American Indian Museum employee Caven Volton said. "I have a 17-year-old daughter and I'm supporting her, paying her rent. After [that] and giving her some money, I'm broke again."
"I'm here because I need by job back," Air and Space Museum employee Melissa Roseboro said. "I'm ready to go back to work."
Other furloughed federal workers are gathering outside the Capitol Monday through Friday, rallying not just for themselves, but their fellow workers unable to make a stand.
"I'm here to stand up for all of the other folks who can't do this because they're trying to figure out how they're going to take care of this with in regards to their income and their families and childcare, mortgages and rent," furloughed federal worker Clayton Cooper said.

Bollywood comes to Belfast to fight diabetes
A taste of Bollywood is coming to Belfast this weekend - to raise funds for a leading diabetes charity.
IFA chief executive Howard Wells, who suffers from Type 2 diabetes, and May McFettridge will be among guests enjoying a night of entertainment at the Bollywood Ball being hosted by Diabetes UK tomorrow.
The aim of the event is to raise awareness and funds for diabetes research - a condition suffered by 60,000 people in Northern Ireland.
Guests will be greeted with a drinks reception and offered a choice of traditional Indian and European cuisine.
There will also be traditional Bollywood style music and dancing and a jazz band.
Howard Wells will be on hand to host a grand auction and speak at the event.
He said his diagnosis was a "dramatic wake-up call for me".
Said the football chief: "Type 2 diabetes is something which can be avoided but if you do get it there are ways to manage and control it to avoid further complications.
"I am very happy to be helping raise awareness about diabetes and am looking forward to what promises to be a night of great food, entertainment and fun."
Diabetes affects people of all ages and races. People from the Indian sub-continent and Caribbean have a higher prevalence of the condition.
Managed well, people with diabetes can live a full life. Left untreated or badly controlled, diabetes can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, amputation, kidney damage, even death.
The Bollywood Ball is being held in the Ramada Hotel at Belfast's Shaws Bridge and tickets are available to the public and members of Diabetes UK by calling 028 9066 6646.

Rotel made some interesting choices with their RSP-1069. There is an obvious attention to build quality, the processor is heavy, solid and uses quality components throughout. However it is missing some key features found on many processors today, most obvious is the lack of room correction. There are no balanced inputs/outputs and HDMI 1.1 only (current version is 1.3). Whether this actually matters, is dependant upon your requirements. In my personal system there were no problems due to these limitations.
- Codecs: DD, DD-EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24, DTS ES 96/24, 192k LCPM, HDCD, DVD-A
- MFR Audio Frequency Response: 10 Hz – 120 kHz, +/- 3 dB (Analog bypass)
- MFR Audio Frequency Response: 10 Hz – 95 kHz, +/- 3 dB (Digital input)
- MFR Video Frequency Response: 3 Hz – 10 MHz, +/- 3 dB (Composite and S-Video)
- MFR Video Frequency Response: 3 Hz – 100 MHz, +/- 3 dB (Component Video)
- Audio Inputs: 3 Coaxial, 4 Optical, 8 Analog Stereo, 1 Analog Multi-channel (7.1 with Bass Management)
- Video Inputs: 4 HDMI (ver. 1.1) 3 Component, 3 Composite, 3 S-Video

- Weight: 19.8 Pounds
- Rotel
Build Quality
This unit is attractively styled, with a clean uncluttered front, despite having 19 buttons and a volume control. The two-line display keeps information at a minimum and the display is easy to read from ten feet away. There are no front panel inputs. Inside the unit there is a Texas Instruments Aureus™ DSP processor and Burr Brown 24 bit/192kHz DACs. Rotel fit this unit with a hefty power supply and has packaged it all inside a well constructed case. The unit is heavier and produces almost as much heat as my Marantz receiver, all without any on board amplifiers. This does require you make room for ample ventilation (Rotel recommends four inch clearance at the sides and top. I did run the unit inside my closed cabinet without issue with four inches of air space at the top and on one side only.
The substantial outputs on the back include 10 analog preouts for the main zone. You have your normal 8 plus a second center and a second subwoofer. There are three additional zones with analog video and audio. The unit will not convert digital signals to the analog zones, so you most also connect analog feeds from those units if you want to use them for another zone. Fortunately the RSP-1069's high level of customization makes this easy.
Throughout the course of my review I found two shortcomings with this otherwise excellent unit. First, there is no room correction. No microphone input, no internal equalizer no auto speaker calibration. This may be a problem for some users. For custom installers or advanced users this is not a problem as they should have high quality calibration equipment. The second shortcoming is that the unit only has HDMI 1.1 and will not be able to be upgraded to 1.3b. Is this really a problem? That will depend on who you ask. The biggest potential drawback is that HDMI 1.1 does not decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master HD. This means you need a DVD player capable of decoding those codecs and sending the information to the Processor. The other noted issue is that HDMI 1.3 supports the (not yet used) Deep Color improvements. And a small issue is that you need at least HDMI 1.2 to send SACD over HDMI.
Rotel's website has this to say about HDMI 1.1 vs 1.3 and high definition audio formats:
"There seems to be plenty of misunderstanding about Rotel's ability to handle these new audio codecs due to the employment of HDMI 1.1 chipsets in our RSX-1058 surround receiver and RSP-1069 pre/processor. It is important to note that both Dolby and DTS recommend that the HD audio decoding be done in the HD disc player, which also provides access to other options such as additional Internet-streamed content for the movie being played. Once decoded by the player, the audio signal is output via multi-channel LPCM to HDMI input provided on the RSX-1058 and RSP-1069. Not all players support internal decoding, so you should confirm this on your particular unit. You should also know that a great many Blu-ray discs do not use either of these new codecs, offering instead a completely uncompressed LCPM as the high resolution option, which is of course accepted by our latest units."
In my system the RSP 1069 was connected to a 5ch Rotel RMB-1085 for powering my Paradigm surround and center speakers, a 2channel Jaton AP2300 for my Raw Acoustics OB2x front left and right speakers, an Oppo 981-HD for SD DVD, and music playback, and my HTPC. All video was sent via the component cables to my Optoma H27 projector. The Rotel and Optoma did not play nice when using HDMI with my 35′ cable, instead I could use only my 15′ HDMI cable which did not reach my Optoma projector. The Rotel does convert HDMI to Component however this does limit you to 1080i video resolution.
Sound Quality
For music listening I put a wide variety of formats through the RSP-1069. I started with Gwenyth Herbert's new album; download from the new B&W music club. Her dynamic voice passed from my HTPC through the HDMI port into the RSP without loss, or degradation and the quality was startling. The bass line on My Mini and Me solidly provides foundation to the steel guitar laid over top. The detailed soundstage and depth found on this track is a great test of lossless compression.
After that I fired up the Oppo and put in the DVD-Audio QuAUDIOPHILIAc disc by Dweel Zappa comprised of multitrack recordings Frank made in the 1970's. This disc is far ahead of its time and is a great recording to show what multitrack mixes should sound like. The Oppo will not send DVD-A through the HDMI port and so the multi channel analog inputs were used. The Rotel applies a fixed 100Hz crossover on the multichannel inputs allowing for basic bass management. This disc puts you on the floor with the band, not quite in the center, just back far enough to feel like your watching the performance. I particularly enjoy Chunga Basement as the layers of percussion frame the guitar work and when done right the mix makes you feel a part of the jam.
Next up was the DVD Mulholland Drive. David Lynch's TV pilot turned movie is a real head scratcher. The highlight is the Spanish version of Crying sung A cappella by Rebekah Del Rio. Without fail this scene will grab you by the throat and hold you tight, you feel her crying inside with every note and the Rotel did a great job of allowing her emotion to flow through.
Finally I threw in the clean and powerful Burn to Shine by Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals. The first track drips with atmosphere and layers. The strong bass line is punctuated with a sharp triangle and is all held together with Bens' lap guitar/skateboard. The rising emotion of the song caries though till the final triangle note held through to the next track. Changing tempo is the hard charging Burn To Shine with a tight bass line and crunchy guitar all lead by the versatile vocals from Ben Harper. Again, no faults found as the processor has a solid analog section which allows the music to come through clean and clear.
This is a flexible and great sounding surround processor. What it does do, it does very well, however it does lack some options on even entry level receivers today. If you can live without auto room calibration and HDMI 1.3b then you should give this unit a test drive. This is a well built great sounding processor with ample features.
At the recent CEDIA 2008 Expo, Rotel announced a new product line, dubbed the 15 series (the RSP 1069 is from the 10 series) and features a new Surround Processor, the 1570. Initial information reveals it will be priced similar to the 1069, includes HDMI1.3, and features new styling. They have apparently discontinued the 1098 processor and the 1570 will become their new flagship processor. There still appears to be no room calibration or auto EQ, however it should support DSD over HDMI which is good news for SACD fans. My sources suggest the models may be due out later this year, however most likely we will not see the unit available until the current stock of 1069's is no longer available. It seems as though Rotel listened to the consumers and have upgraded the video section. Hopefully the sound quality will remain as good as the current 10 series. When the new units are available I intend on writing a comparison review of the 1069 and 1570.

Two candidates for mayor spent almost $280,000 combined on their campaigns and raised a total of more than $303,000 in this year's election, campaign finance reports show.
The records show former Mayor David Miller raised and spent about $10,000 more than opponent Tom Martin, though Martin defeated Miller in the race.
City candidates were required to file campaign finance reports Tuesday, detailing contributions and spending since the beginning of May. Candidates who advanced to a runoff were required to detail finances since June.
Those who already held office and were not up for election filed campaign finance reports showing expenses through the first six months of the year.
Not all the reports were available Wednesday. City Secretary Becky Garza said some reports had not been turned in to her office.
Martin and Miller raised about the same amount of money during their first election fight in 2006 - $304,000 total - a race that Miller won.
Both candidates raised slightly less than $26,000 in the days before and after the election. Martin paid bills of more than $44,000, while Miller had expenses of more than $78,000.
The two candidates began raising money in earnest months before the election. Since the beginning of the race, reports show Martin raised $146,000. Miller raised almost $157,000.
Miller's final campaign finance report shows he has about $3,300 left. He said he would use the money to pay off the last round of bills and may donate the remainder to charity. He's not planning to use the money for political means, he said.

US: States moving to ban private re-homing of adopted children
Several states are working on legislation to ban the private transfer of adopted children after reports surfaced of families "re-homing" adopted children through social media, often into the homes of pedophiles and other abusers.
News agencies reported last fall that some parents were transferring custody of their unwanted adopted children to strangers they met on the internet, often with no government oversight. The practice was widely referred to as "re-homing" and Yahoo groups and Facebook pages had even been set up to assist in the practice.
Reuters analyzed messages advertising 261 children on one Yahoo group and found that children were offered for re-homing at a rate of about one per week. About 70% of the children offered were products of international adoption between the ages of six and thirteen.
Many of the adoptive parents listed the children in posts such as these obtained on one Yahoo group by Reuters:
"Born in October of 2000 – this handsome boy, 'Rick' was placed from India a year ago and is obedient and eager to please."
"We are looking to rehome an African American/Caucasian little girl who was adopted at 3 years old in a private adoption."
Many of the posts contain heartbreaking quotes from adoptive parents such as this one:
"I had wanted to go back for another daughter from China but this one is so difficult and so hard to love that I can tell you with absolute CERTAINTY I will never do it again."
One post, titled "better fit" needed for small 13 year old, homeschooled Christian girl, stated in part:
"She is very small for her age, somewhat immature (her interests are more like those of an 8 or 9 year old girl–she loves crafts and animals etc), she's behind in her schooling but mainly that's because of her victim mentality (school work is too hard, boo hoo hoo) but she's very sweet and quiet and obedient."
Yahoo quickly shut down the re-homing group and others like it when these reports came to light. It is unknown how many groups still exist elsewhere on the internet.
Human Trafficking Search says of re-homing:
""Rehoming" describes when adoptive parents find a new home for their adopted child without notifying or consulting the proper authorities. It is a term commonly used by animal shelters and pet owners to advertise a cat or dog up for adoption. Those in the adoption profession euphemistically refer to this as "adopting from disruption."
Although no money is exchanged between the adoptive parents, rehoming is an underground network used to obtain children illegally without their consent, making it a form of human trafficking."
They go on to explain:
"Technically, rehoming an adopted child is legal. Much like if a parent of a biological child couldn't take care of the child, they could legally grant guardianship to another family. Child protective services only steps in if they suspect maltreatment of the child. If the child is foreign-born, the state doesn't follow up with visits and most countries don't follow up with the families that adopt their children. The majority of rehoming children is done via the Internet with websites like Yahoo Groups and Facebook. Much like rehoming a pet, the parent will post a photo and information about the child and prospective parents can respond to the message."
In most states, a lawyer is not required to transfer custody of an internationally adopted child. Both sets of parents simply sign a short document and there is no state involvement at all.
Without government safeguards, some children have been placed in the care of abusers and others who escaped scrutiny. Reuters reported that in one case, a mother gave her nine year-old adopted son to a pedophile in a motel parking lot in Wisconsin within hours of posting an advertisement for the child on a Yahoo group.
NBC also reported on the issue last fall and told the stories of some of these young survivors and what they went through in their re-homing tragedies.
No state or federal laws specifically prohibited re-homing until now. On Wednesday, Wisconsin became the first state to ban the private transfer of adopted children.
The Wisconsin law now makes it illegal for anyone not licensed by the state to advertise a child over age one for adoption or any other custody transfer, both in print and online. Parents who wish to transfer custody of a child to someone other than a relative must seek permission from a judge, with violators facing up to nine months in jail or up to $10,000 in fines.
Ohio, Colorado and Florida also have introduced legislation aimed at protecting children from re-homing.
"Children are not property or used furniture to be advertised to anybody on social media sites without the background checks and protections for their welfare," said Democratic state Sen. Charleta Tavares, a sponsor of the Ohio bill.
At the federal level, a group of 18 members of Congress is seeking hearings to "identify ways to prevent these dangerous practices." Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon called for action in a letter to Obama administration officials, writing that it was "stunning" that "this practice of advertising children, usually over state borders, does not seem to violate any federal laws."
Americans have adopted approximately 243,000 children from other countries since the late 1990's. It is unknown how many of these children remained in their adoptive homes, but Reuters points out:
"If the failure rate of international adoptions is similar to the rate at which domestic adoptions fail – estimates by the federal government range from about 10 percent to 25 percent – then more than 24,000 foreign adoptees are no longer with the parents who brought them to America."
While most adopted children were undoubtedly adopted into loving homes where they were deeply wanted, Reuters also reported on the overwhelming issues some of these parents have encountered. Good Housekeeping also featured the story of one adoptive mother who chose to give up one of her adopted children.
Facebook pages such as Second Chance Adoptions still exist to help parents find new homes for their adopted children, though the page is quick to clarify "this is not a re-homing" on most listings of children.
The International Adoption Center is calling for federal action, saying:
"IAC would like to see states and the federal government pass laws that require parents to report to child welfare officials whenever they sign temporary guardianship papers, and for the child welfare officials to investigate the circumstances. The law would need to include a provision that schools, social workers, health care workers and other mandated reporters notify child welfare officials of these arrangements when they find out about them so as to ensure that children are protected in case child welfare officials were not notified."
Reuters has also reported on U.S. lawmakers calling for action to curb internet child trading.
Meanwhile, the Child Welfare League of America has started a petition to President Obama, Majority Leader Reid & Speaker Boehner for a federal mandate to end private transfers of custody of adopted children.
Adoption advocacy organizations have also spoken out about the issue. In a joint statement, Voice for Adoption, North American Council on Adoptable Children, Child Welfare League of America and Donaldson Adoption Institute said:
"No child should go through agony like this. We know the vast majority of adoptive families are committed to their sons and daughters, and do all they can to keep their children safe and sound and to help them overcome early losses or traumas. But the practice of parents – of any sort – giving their children away to unapproved, unlicensed strangers is anathema to us and must be prevented and prosecuted."
You can read the full statement here and find out more on what you can do to help.
The Supporting Adoptive Families Act, proposed by U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, also aims to help adoptive children and their families. The act would boost assistance for adoptive families through training, counseling, and parent groups.

After fussing in line at the beginning of PDC to get NO RC BITS, all is well after every attendees (including me) received the VS 2005 RC bits on Thursday. BTW, for customers that are considering standing up a VSTF, the beta 3 bits are ONLY DAYS AWAY. This is a critical release as it will include the GO-LIVE license and the guaranteed in-place upgrade to the final RTM, gold bits early next year.
BEST OF SHOW PDC 2005 - Vista Transactional File System
I'll have to go with the Vista transactional file system as best in show and here's why. Many lifetimes ago, I sat in a meeting with a pile of so-called programmers, and the discussion centered on a transaction against an ACCESS MDB FILE on a remote file share, and a marker file on the local disk. Of course, the marker file was the flag that indicated to the application that the tx had taken place against the ACCESS MDB FILE. Well, needless to say, it was education time.

Well that was then, and I can tell you that I have waited a mule's age to have this theoretically basic functionality from the platform. Who'd a thunk I'd have to wait this long? Anyway this is a true breakthrough.

Worldwide CNC market plateaus
According to a study by ARC Advisory Group, the computer numerical controls (CNC) market faces an uncertain future after strong sales from 2009 to 2011.
The Computer Numerical Controls (CNC) market experienced robust growth in 2011. After the market suffered as a result of the financial crisis, culminating in a trough in 2009, the market has rebounded to exceed its previous peak of over $6 billion in 2008. This growth cycle in 2010 and 2011 was led by the recovery in machining for the automotive and oil and gas industries, and also by the continued rapid growth in Asia Pacific.
"The Computer Numerical Control market in 2011 reflects a recovery in manufacturing investment, but with many investment cycles coming to an end, the future remains very uncertain," according to Research Director Sal Spada and Research Analyst David Lavieri, the principal authors of ARC's "Computer Numerical Controls Worldwide Outlook" market research study.
Capital Investment Cycle
During the recessionary period in 2009 and the first half of 2010, companies conserved scarce capital by redeploying aging machines instead of purchasing new machines. Starting in late 2010, this trend began to reverse, as companies loosened their purse strings to invest in their operations and replace old machinery. In particular, automotive manufacturers strongly invested in new CNC control machines. These investments are typically cyclical, and there remains a question if these investments will sustain the CNC market over the next few years.
Multi-tasking Machines Regain Attention
Though multi-tasking machines have existed for a number of years, the technology has continued to gain traction as a growing application for CNC controls. Offering simultaneous operation of various applications (milling, turning, grinding, etc.), multi-tasking machines is the natural extension of the machining center. Not only do these machines decrease the total number of machines necessary, but also the total production time. Like the machining center, it reduces set-up and transfer times and improves cycle time. Due to the need for fewer machines, it also reduces the factory's overall energy costs, as it saves on costly auxiliary equipment and coolants.
Uncertain Future for China
Though China continued to be a major growth market in 2011 for CNC controls, future growth in the region is less certain. As a result of its dominantly export-oriented economy, the country's domestic market for machine tools is highly dependent on the economies of the developed world, particularly the United States, Europe, and Japan; these economies have struggled and demand declined sharply in the recession, causing inventories of Chinese manufactured products to skyrocket, and tempering the demand for future machine demand.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Did you ever see a big camper trailer rolling down the highway with a bumper sticker that says "We're spending our children's inheritance?"
Maybe you've got one just like it.
If your retirement dollars are now rewarding you for a lifetime of work, congratulations! Having enough money during retirement is a great stress reliever. But many retirees with adequate assets still worry. They've worked hard to build their assets and think more about protecting their dollars from risk than spending, investing, or gifting them. If you're avoiding decisions about assets because of concerns about risk, you're not alone.
The risk factors
Many retirees with modest nest eggs — say shares of company stock they received after years of faithful service, or accumulated dollars in a bank account — may also have memories of the Great Depression and can't ever forget the "rainy day" lesson it taught them. Many have decided to get along on their Social Security and fixed pensions income and keep hands off any other assets they may have, in some cases to the point of depriving themselves or others of the power of those assets. Unfortunately, there are risks in being too protective of assets. Let's look at three of them:
• Inflation — If most or your retirement dollars are parked in accounts earning low or no income, they probably aren't keeping up with inflation. Certainly, it's wise to have an FDIC-insured checking or savings account at a bank (FDIC protects account values up to $100,000). But if all of your dollars are in these accounts, they could be losing ground. Using simple arithmetic, if an asset's return is 3% an inflation is at 2.5%, (the annual percent change for the Consumer Price Index in 1997), the asset's real return is .5%. Inflation erodes the spending power of your dollars as it has historically. Remember that loaf of bread at 35 cents? Or a first class postage stamp at 18 cents back in 1981? For some items, like medical care and a college education, costs have risen even more each year.
• Estate taxes — Many Americans who pinched pennies during the Great Depression scoff at the idea that their modest belongings could be considered an estate. But you don't have to be extremely wealthy to have an estate. Estates with taxable assets of more than $625,000 in 1998 are subject to estate taxes, which start at 37% and can reach 55%, depending on the estate's size. Although estate tax laws are complex, it's safe to say that all directly owned assets are counted as estate assets at death. That includes the current value of a home (not the price paid for it), any real estate, cars, jewelry, art or other collections and personal possessions. Included also are intangible assets you own, like bank accounts, annuities, retirement plan assets, stocks, bonds and mutual funds, limited partnerships or life insurance death benefits or cash values. If your heirs are then held responsible for funeral costs, debts you incurred, and possible state death and inheritance taxes, they may want to get a bumper sticker that says "I'm spending what's left of my inheritance."
• Gift tax — Many older Americans plan to give a large gift to their children or grandchildren at a later date when they'll really need it, maybe to help with a down payment on a new home or for higher education. They're unaware of the limits on the amount that can be gifted each year without being subject to taxation. The gift tax exclusion allows anyone to give away up to $10,000 each year to any number of individuals. (A married couple may give away up to $20,000 a year to any individuals.) This exclusion will be indexed for inflation in the future, but isn't expected to change much until the year 2000 or later. Money that is gifted over and above that amount is included in the calculation to determine the giver's estate tax.
All in the family
Incidentally, these rules for gifting are for giving to another individual. Should a grandparent want to help with college tuition, there's a provision that allows direct payment to the college (for tuition only; not for other expenses) that is not subject to the $10,000 gift tax limitation. Also, the amount of cash allowed for a donation to a qualified charity is 50% of a person's adjusted gross income. This could be an issue for retirees with substantial assets but relatively small amounts of taxable income.
Although each of us must follow our own instincts when protecting our hard-earned assets, it helps to know about some of the hidden threats to a seemingly risk-free nest egg. Estate planning, gifting, and investing to stay ahead of inflation can be complex topics and it may be to your benefit to consider professional advice.

Out in the Open
translated by Robin Robertson
Late autumn labyrinth.
A discarded bottle lies at the entrance to the wood.
Walk in. The forest in this season is a silent palace of abandoned rooms.
Only a few, precise sounds: as if someone were lifting twigs with tweezers;
as if, inside each tree-trunk, a hinge was creaking quietly.
Frost has breathed on the mushrooms and they've shrivelled up;
they are like the personal effects of the disappeared.
It is almost dusk. You need to leave now,
find your landmarks again: the rusted implements out in the field
and the house on the other side of the lake, red-brown
and square and solid as a stock-cube.
A letter from America set me off, drove me out
on a white night in June through the empty suburban streets
among built blocks, cool as blueprints, too new to have memories.
The letter in my pocket. My unquiet raging stride a kind of prayer.
Where you are now, evil and good really do have faces.
Here, it's mostly a struggle between roots, numbers, transitions of light.
Those that run messages for death don't shy from daylight.
They govern from glass offices. They swell in the sun.
They lean over their desks and look at you askance.
Far away from that, I find myself in front of one of the new buildings.
Many windows merging into one window.
The light of the night sky and the swaying of the trees are caught there:
in this still mirror-lake, up-ended in the summer night.
Violence seems unreal
for a while.
The sun is scorching. The plane comes in low,
throwing a shadow in the shape of a giant cross, rushing over the ground.
A man crouches over something in the field.
The shadow reaches him.
For a split-second he is in the middle of the cross.
I have seen the cross that hangs from cool church arches.
Sometimes it seems like a snapshot
of frenzy.

Charisma. Mia Doi Todds coolly tranquil voice caresses the air, but her trenchant gaze holds you, riveted. She descends to earth again, still piercing your eyes, and drops poetry of hunger and need, the food of love. You dont recoil; youre on the edge of your seat. You feel like a slave. And not so strangely, it feels good.
Todds folk-related music has been around for a while, but not so long that its mysteries have been divulged or nearly exhausted. Proof of which isManzanita,
the deceptively waiflike chanteuses fifth solo release, flanking collaborations with the not-so-unlikely likes of the electro-pop unit Dntel and the avantish DJ Nobody, among a few eclectic others. A mostly stripped-down affair featuring Todds acoustic guitar and piano and precisely pristine voice,Manzanita
finds Todd at an interesting juncture in her musical career, and perhaps on her path toward entirely different creative realms.
spare glories came about not completely through personal choice; after getting her big major-label chance with 2002s comparatively opulentThe Golden State
on Sony Records, produced by high-profile sound man Mitchell Froom, Todd was unceremoniously dropped by the label. OnManzanita,
all decisions on the writing, arranging, recording and producing were made by Todd alone, with some help from the albums producer, Brent Rademaker of Beachwood Sparks.
Although Sony had obviously signed Todd as a credibility project, she wasnt all that surprised by the companys decision to part ways with her a year later nor was she fully bummed out. She even defends Sony to a certain degree: They knew while we were making the record that it was not gonna be huge. And according to Todd, she and Froom were for the most part left alone to craft the music without interference. They trusted Mitchell, and I was definitely involved. There was no child in the scenario, or a princess. But it wasnt me calling the shots. Whereas this time it was, more so.
Ive matured as an artist, she says. The Sony thing definitely enabled that.Manzanita
was executive-produced by Todd herself, which means she obtained the services of her friend Rademaker to play bass and record and mix at his basement studio in Echo Park; the tracks are also aided by guests including L.A. dubsters Future Pigeon, D.C. hard-rock maestros Dead Meadow and members of the Tyde and Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Unlike Frooms more ornately detailed settings, the songs onManzanita
are generally spare affairs, more about the songs themselves and a bit less about the arrangements. These songs are a little simpler, unlike earlier ones, which tended to be long and more complex though there are two six-minute songs on this album [The Way and The Last Night of Winter]. While the bulk of the set comprises short, elusive tunes featuring just Todds rounded-crystal voice and minor-chord guitar and piano, she does somewhat oddly begin the album with the ponderously doomy The Way, on which she wails and military-industrially protests over the backward guitars and ominous stomp of Dead Meadow. Though it gives no indication of the albums general sound, the songs dolorous dread does serve to set the tone for what is to come; it also offers a good example of Todds complexity and the quietly insistent sense of peculiar symmetry that takes her music out of the mere-trad-folkie into thrillingly new hybrid realms. Shes just a bit different, in other words.
Well, Todd says, there was an earlier sequence for the songs; the guys thought maybe I shouldnt put The Way first, because its not representative of the album as a whole and itd throw people off. But there was no place else it would fit, sonically it had to start that way or it couldnt be on the album, almost. It was one of the first songs on the album that I wrote. And it just had to be first.
What If We Do, almost perversely, follows with a rolling guitar and Todd softly crooning to a potential lover to take a chance on life. The Future Pigeonbacked Casa Nova brings an easy-skanking vibe to one of Todds semitypical reflections on the shortcomings of a former flame (and her own); lest we forget that the sun is shining and the air is free, The Last Night of Winter comes on all Kodachrome horn- and string-drenched to lift our eyes to the sky.
Youll most likely be moved, however, during the moments onManzanita
when Todd sits alone with just her guitar or piano and chimes your ears with her tales of everyday life of the regrets, the longing, the recollected ecstasies, the relief of humdrum routine in their wake, the joy of swimming and not drowning in the sea of life. The classically trained singer offers these songs/stories with a vocal tone of startling purity and an unsettling calm that makes their often bleak and always tersely poetic images all the more devastating. Shell sing, I need you now to abandon me, and you know its true, and its breaking your heart.
All of which is
but a small part of the ethereal enigma named Mia Doi Todd. Shes also a frequent collaborator in projects from the electronic/DJ world, such as singing on Jimmy Tamborellos Dntel EPAnywhere Anyone
and DJ Nobodys upcoming disc, both also on Plug Research; Nobody recently did a remix ofManzanitas
What If We Do; live dates have found her frequently performing alongside such non-folkie types as the electronic duo Languis, sampling genius Daedelus and other luminaries on L.A.s underground dub, electronic, dance and hip-hop scenes all of whom, she says, have influenced her thinking about songwriting far more than traditional folk musicians. For her next record, she wants to make something more like a Sade record, where its almost dub, and just really simple songs on top of it.
Theres simple, and theres simple.

City Council has approved $3 million in funding to support 100 additional shelter beds and other housing resources for victims of domestic violence in Philadelphia!
In 2008, WAA (Women Against Abuse) alone was forced to turn away 1,705 requests for safety in shelter due to limited capacity. Less than four years later, this number skyrocketed to more than 8,400 turned away requests. This figure represents thousands of women and children in imminent danger who must find alternative sources of emergency housing - sometimes in other emergency shelters that are not intended to maintain the safety, privacy and confidentiality of residents, and other times in domestic violence shelters in neighboring counties.

Oslo's oddly named Grims Grenka Hotel opens next month with some bold if slightly earnest claims. It's not just stylish contemporary accommodation, but "a lifestyle experiment". As well as a good night's kip, it provides "the cosmopolitan experience of London and New York in the far northern latitudes of Norway".
Gosh. It is, of course, a design hotel, with 42 severely stylish rooms fusing wood, bold colours and clean lines within a tossed herring of Oslo's Akershus Castle. It looks gorgeous, but sorry, it won't change your life.

IVANHOE, TEXAS. Ivanhoe is ten miles north of Bonham in north central Fannin County. W. A. Carter's History of Fannin County, Texas (1885) reports that one could reach Ivanhoe by way of Island Bayou Road. The town was originally named Hawkins' Prairie after Strother Hawkins, a pioneer who settled there in 1845. In 1885 Capt. Joe Dupree, a Confederate veteran, named the town Ivanhoe after Sir Walter Scott's novel, when the United States Postal Service rejected the original name. The Baptist church was organized there in 1872. In the mid-1880s the community had two general stores, a blacksmith shop, a steam mill and cotton gin, a hotel, a physician, and a school. Stage connections to Bonham could be made regularly from Ivanhoe. In the 1880s 150 residents lived in Ivanhoe. The population climbed to about 200 in the 1890s but dropped by 1915 to only seventy-five. The population was around 100 in the 1960s, when the Ivanhoe school district was consolidated with the schools of Telephone to form the Sam Rayburn Independent School District. Ivanhoe is the home of the Ivanhoe Winery, an award-winning enterprise. In 1990 the population was 110. The population remained the same in 2000.

Community Development CU Appears in USA Today Article as Part of Savings Program
CLEVELAND, Ohio - The July 13 issue of USA Today featured the activity of the privately insured Faith Community United Credit Union as a supporter of the Consumer Federation of America's Cleveland Saves campaign. The credit union is a community development credit union and a leader in the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions. The Cleveland Saves program is a pilot project of CFA's that seeks to study the effects of promoting savings among lower income families in the Cleveland area. "This program succeeded in making people aware of the necessity to save and build assets, and, especially in defining what an asset is," said Rita Haynes, CEO of the credit union and chairwoman of the Federation's Board. "Many people now realize that assets are not just money, but real estate, IRA's and other things," she added.

'Fugitive' draws indictments from March 15 chase, scuffle
CAMERON—A 28-year Tanglewood man arrested last month on a variety of charges after a chase and fight with a deputy sheriff was one of 28 persons indicted Thursday by a Milam County grand jury.
Samuel Martin "Marty" Wesson was indicted for prohibited substance in a correctional facility, assault on a public servant, evading arrest with a motor vehicle, possession of a controlled substance and theft ($1,500 to $20,000).
Wesson was wanted on several warrants in three counties and "had been eluding authorities for two months" when Milam authorities received a tip March 15 that he was staying with grandparents in Tanglewood.
Officers located his pickup south of Milano, a vehicle and foot chase followed and an arrest was made after a fight involving Milam County Deputy Sheriff John Mendoza.
Wesson was jailed on bond totaling $335,000.
Prosecutor Bill Torrey listed other indictments as follows:
• Michael Brandon Stark, 24, Smithville, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
• Fred Russell Jr., 58, Rockdale, possession of a controlled substance (less than one gram).
• Paul Allen Steele, 39, Buckholts, abandoning/ endangering a child.
• Shawn Hernandez, 30, Rockdale, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
