I thought I would try to maintain an up-to-date list of SACD players that transmit DSD (and/or multichannel PCM) over HDMI. I'll keep this first post updated as new players become available (and others drop out of circulation). Please post any additions and corrections, and I'll make any edits that are necessary.
I hope to start a similar thread about receivers that can accept DSD over HDMI in the Receiver forum. (There's already a thread that covers pre-pros here.)

The Oppo DV-980H does both stereo and multi-channel SACD via DSD over HDMI. Listening to it right now, as a matter of fact (playing Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed"...excellent!).
Sorry, cannot really answer your second question. This is the only player I've had that sends DSD...until my BDP-83 arrives tommorow.
In his Stereophile column, Kal Rubinson has claimed that there are differences between different players even when they're sending DSD over HDMI. However, he has also said that the differences are quite small.
1, Yes for both:Stereo, and MCH
2, I don't see how they would, the decoding and D/A conversion would take place entirely in the downstream product.

Phillips DVP-5996K. Only $70 even has upsampling for CD up to 192 I think. Best part is it plays pirated DVD's better than any other brands.
Amazon (not a reseller) was offering the silver ones for $119 shipped a few days ago. I couldn't pass that up. A day later it shot up to $299! Should be better than the Oppo. 506 with Burr-Brown 1796 DAC's....good stuff! You're going to love multi-channel music, Floyd is awesome. The separation and clarity is outstanding. Roy Orbison is incredible too. I wasn't a huge fan until I listened to the SACD and it blew my my socks clean off. The Beatles Love is outstanding too, very enjoyable and well separated. R.E.M. - AFTP another outstanding DVD-A!
They look non-existent in the US. Quite a bargain for that capability though.
I'm going to have to look into getting AFTP also on DVD Audio that was a great album so I imagine the dvd audio disc is amazing... Check out the In The Flesh SACD though. That is what made me want a SACD player. Heard that on a set of B&W 802's through a mcintosh sacd player and mono block amps and it was amazing. Is the Beatles Love multi Channel also? You know any good retailers to pick up SACD's at?
Why should it be better then the Oppo sending DSD over HDMI, and why would matter the DA converters, they are being bypassed!?

Yep, Using burr brown acs either way sense D/a is being done via my onkyo 876. Got my new Onkyo player though ( was cheaper then the oppo or I would have gotten the oppo). Haven't got my other acd's yet but dark side of the moon sounds amazing. What a great album. I also have the mobile fidelity sound lab copy on LP and I like the surround mic on the SACD much better. I think the bass is much cleaner and love the surround split. A very cool disc I must say.
hey Lexi, you really should give the analogs a try on the 506. Totally different sound, warmer, less bright, better low end detail, and more natural sounding than HDMI to my ear. The 506 sends DSD straight to analog without converting to PCM.
Thanks for mentioning In the Flesh, I have it on DVD. SACD should be phenomenal......
I will have to give the analogs a shot. Right now I'm sending the dsd signal over hdmi to my onkyo 876 and it sounds great. I believe it uses the same burr-brown d/a converters that the 506 has. Now if I can just find a good place to get discs I will be all set.
If you use bass management and time alignment via the HDMI, you'll loose those option through the analog connections. The player might offer a rudimentary bass management, but not time alignment without converting DSD to PCM first[if it offers that at all], and it won't nearly be as precise, as your 876 which uses a sophisticated DSP chip that the player will lack.

Thanks a bunch I was figuring along the same lines. I must admit dsd over hdmi to the 876 sounds amazing. I couldn't believe the sound quality. Even if I used direct to dac processing I would imagine the sound quality would be just as good in the 876 sense it uses the same d/a as the 506 player has.
I have the onkyo 506 not sure how similar it is to the integra but it has been a great unit. I have bee using it for dsd over hdmi and it has been amazing. Do you plan on running dsd over hdmi?
Yes DSD via HDMI to Integra DTR-8.8.
Hold on tight to your dreams - ELO
I sure hope so. It's for my dedicated theater so it's not for critical music listening just background and other listening during the ramp up to movies. It still needs to be impressive. Hopefully it won't let me down. Arrives tomorrow from what FedX tells me.
I also have the 981H and I just realized now that I do have 3 discontinued players though. Well, matter of fact 4, if I include the Panny BD-30
Hold on tight to your dreams - ELO
I can answer that one: It can do both but what you get depends on what you connect it to.
However, don't ask me why it doesn't work with some processors or what the PCM output resolution is.

128. Branding Your True Self
You ever look back at your past and feel like a different person? I've been reflecting on my goals and ambitions over the last 8 years or so, and I realized that there's something that has remained constant. I was talking with my buddy about a free marketing training series we're running (if you haven't heard about it yet, just leave a comment or message me), and I wasn't feeling well physically or mentally that day. So much so that I was unable to finish a task that day that had a deadline. And in our discussion, he asked me a singular question, "When we grow this, and we have people who pay us and depend on us for help, will you be able to perform?" And that's a fair question. But after looking through my past, I realized something. That every single time my job was to help someone directly (either in my personal or professional life), I threw away every single pain I was feeling to focus on the task at hand. And yes, this is not necessarily a good thing when it's not balanced. I've hurt myself by not focusing on my own wellbeing and so damaged my ability to help others. But this moment of reflection helped me in that moment of intense pain to put that suffering into the perspective of my whole life and see it for growth and pitfalls I've gone through since starting my career. I still facepalm at my younger self, but at the same time, I can't help but smile at how open and good-hearted that little scrawny kid is.

99. Conquer Your Fears and Get Good at Sales w/ Stephen Flemings
It's time to finally welcome my former boss and now fencing buddy, Stephen Flemings, to the podcast! As a partner and head of services at Yellow Line Digital, Stephen taught me almost everything I know about creating and launching a sales campaign. Throughout this podcast, we discuss how he overcame adversity throughout many companies until he came to Yellow Line, the steps you should take when you're beginning to sell a product or service, and what he thought about me when the first time he met me. One Habit You Can Learn from Stephen When Stephen sells you, you don't even realize you're being sold. One of the first things I noticed about him is how slowly he takes sales calls. He'll chat about their family, where they're from, the company, and everything else...all while keeping meticulous notes of their answers to reference and bring up later. Being a high energy person myself, I personally built the habit of not rushing through sales calls (especially first contact) because of him. My personal rule: breathe before answering them. They'll either keep on talking, or you just gave yourself some time to think of a good reply. Win-win. Links Discussed Yellow Line Digital Connect with Stephen on LinkedIn

Welcome to the Confidence Mindset for this week where I'm drilling into this idea into you: your voice has worth. What you say matters. I had to speak to graduate psychology classes, appear on panels alongside experts with more PhDs and decades of experience than I might ever have, and personally coach hundreds to overcome their extreme challenges to find success...all as a teenager. But the one thing I've always held on to during these times is that I know myself, and I know that my words have value.

Here's a piece of hard-hitting truth for you today. Stop trying to change your whole life. Stop giving up hope that you'll ever improve and succeed. Because here's the secret, you actually don't want you whole life to change. You don't want to improve all at once. What you do want is to tweak your life slowly and gradually. So take that hidden desire that we all have and use it to it's full potential.

42. Tesla is Selling Surfboards? | Marketing New & You
When I'm selling a product or service, the first thing I do is think about what else can I sell along with it.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Legitimate online sweepstakes business owners are pushing back against proposed legislation to close Internet cafes all across Florida.
They've created an online petition asking lawmakers to throw out the House gaming committee bill.
Lawmakers started pushing the bill after the nearly $300 million Internet cafe scheme involving Allied Veterans of the World came to light last week.
"Our livelihood is on the line here," said Robin Rukab, of Lucky 7's. "I have a family to support. It's a business. This is a clean business."
Rukab is just one of 13,000 Floridians who rely on Internet sweepstakes to make a living. She says she opened up her business not more than a year ago, and a proposed bill threatens to take everything she's worked for away.
"We're regulated, we pay our fees, we are hard-working people," she said. "So we should not be faulted for something else someone else has done."
With the online petition, Rukab and other Internet cafe owners are trying to urge lawmakers to change their minds about banning the sweepstakes businesses altogether. Rukab said she and her partners aren't getting rich.
Some customers say that in their opinion, Internet sweepstakes should not be considered illegal gambling.
"What is the difference between this, the dog track, the poker room, the lotto," Susan Ryan said.
"We a hard-working people and we shouldn't be punished for what other people are doing," Rukab said.
Internet cafe employee says bank account dropped into negative
An Internet cafe employee who doesn't want to be identified says her bank account dropped into the negative when federal investigators moved in last week at Allied Veterans of the World.
The woman said all the employees at Elite 71 experienced a reverse withdrawal rather than a direct deposit on their payday.
"Theres probably going to be a domino effect, late fees, mortgage payments, car notes," the woman said. "And I was told like me and others that it's possible it could go on our credit report."
She said she and others who worked at Elite 71 had no idea they were under federal surveillance. She said the Internet cafe was constantly busy every day of the week and sometimes overflowed with more customers than it could handle.
"Sometimes we would have a waiting list for seats," she said. "We had 100 computers, so we had a waiting list for customers to be seated."
The woman said employees of Elite 71 and other gaming sites are considering legal action.
"Some feel that with the financial hardships that they are going to get an attorney or already have an attorney to file a class action lawsuit," she said.

I wonder was this an inspiration of sorts for John Byrne's monochrome study of a web-swinging Spider-Man (in his black costume) on the cover of Spectacular Spider-Man 101?ReplyDelete
Happy New Year Jason. Once again, congratulations on your amazing site.ReplyDelete
Hey Harry, thanks for mentioning that. I'll add the cover to Spectacular Spider-Man #101 for reference.ReplyDelete

Here is the last page (of three) given to me from Gib & Janet Richardson of my Grandfather, Norwood Jonas. This picture resembles much the Del Monte plant in Burley, Idaho as I remember it as a kid. My Grandma and I would go and drop things off from time to time. I don't remember what we dropped off, but we were there on a fairly regular basis. I do not remember the plan having changed much at that time from 1969 to my memories in the mid 1980's.
I remember as a boy my Mom would often remind me as we drove past Del Monte that my Grandfather helped build that water tower. I don't know how much he actually helped build it, but since he worked in maintenance I assumed he helped with its maintenance. Who knows. Too much time has probably passed to know for certain. I tried locating information on the rest of the people in the pictures. Many are likely still alive. I tried searching names but none were an obvious match. I will have to do more work to pin some of them down.

Post subject: Buddha inediate.
Copied from:
"A meditating teenage boy in south-central Nepal is drawing the attention of scientists after attracting huge crowds in the past six months and earning himself the name Buddha-reincarnate.
They are mulling over how to examine him without disturbing his meditation.
Ram Bahadur Bamjan's friends, relatives and managers say he has been meditating without drinking water for six months now and that he will carry on for another six years until he gains enlightenment - as did the Buddha some 250km (160 miles) away in Lumbini in western Nepal.
Siddartha Gautam, who later attained Mahanirvana and became the Buddha, was born in 560 BC.
Grown weak
Word spread quickly about the teenager and people around Ratanapuri village in Bara district began to visit Bamjan, 15, who has been sitting cross-legged in a traditional Buddha posture under a peepal tree.
Bamjan's eyes are closed and his body firm, encased in a whitish shawl.
His hair has grown long and has almost covered his eyes. Villagers say he has grown weak.
His picture has been appearing regularly in newspapers and people now look for updates on him.
Many around Bara worship him as the reincarnation of the Buddha.
The tree is festooned and the air has the smell of incense sticks.
The dramatically increased movement of people has generated economic opportunities.
Makeshift shops have sprung up and offerings in cash and kind are on the rise.
I sometimes go to see him but he does not talk to me
Maya Devi Tamang, mother
"Almost 500,000 rupees ($7,000) have been deposited in the bank by devotees," says Prajapati Koirala, a senior government administrator in the area. That is apart from the donations visitors make on the spot.
Local people have formed a committee to make sure Bamjan gets the right environment to meditate and to manage the influx of visitors and the offerings they make.
The most frequently asked questions: Does he remain seated like that and meditate even at night? Does he not eat or drink at all?
Some say he has eaten nothing since he began his meditation, others that he used to take a milk-like liquid from the roots of the peepal tree at the beginning.
Most people can live without food for several weeks, with the body drawing on its fat and protein stores. But the average human can survive for only three to four days without water.
He never touched alcohol
Salden Lama, schoolteacher
Followers of holy men and ascetics have often ascribed extraordinary powers to them, but such powers are seldom subject to scientific inspection.
But the number of people seeking real evidence here is increasing.
Under pressure, locals have asked the administration to find out the truth.
"We have agreed to conduct a scientific examination on him," said the local administrator, Mr Koirala.
The challenge is to do so without touching him.
Mr Koirala said scientists from the Royal Nepal Academy of Science and Technology were due to arrive to conduct the examination.
It remains unclear how they will do it.
"At least the scientists will be able to see whether he meditates the whole night or not," said Deekpal Chaudhary, who sells incense sticks to visitors.
Monastery tour
Bamjan's family members say they have no idea what is going on.
His mother fainted when she found out her son had undertaken an indefinite meditation.
Many worship Ram Bahadur Bamjan as the reincarnation of Buddha
"I sometimes go to see him but he does not talk to me," said Maya Devi Tamang.
"I don't know what will happen to him but I know that god will help him."
The name of Buddha's mother was also Maya Devi, a point Bamjan's devotees have stressed.
The family said Bamjan was different from his four brothers. They said he did not speak much and stayed aloof.
"He never touched alcohol," said his primary education teacher, Salden Lama.
Relatives and neighbours said Bamjan undertook meditation when he returned from a tour of Lumbini, where Buddha was born, and monasteries in Pokhara in Nepal and Dehradun in India.
Friend and cousin Prem Lama remembers Bamjan saying that he did not want people to call him Buddha as he had only reached primary enlightenment.
Bamjan has spoken only a few times since he began the meditation, according to Prem Lama.
He said the first time Bamjan spoke was when a snake bit him around a month ago.
Bamjan took the incident as his second test, which he must overcome, Prem Lama said.
In the first test he was also bitten by a snake - three months after he began the meditation.
The second snake-bite episode led to increased curiosity.
After being bitten, Bamjan was said to have asked his aides to put a curtain around him.
"In less than a week he asked us to take the curtain away," Prem Lama said.
Now another curtain is to be drawn around Bamjan - for the scientific examination."

Bomjon, after about ten months of meditation, went missing on March 11, 2006. It is unclear whether or not he voluntarily left for the local jungles or was abducted. Some believe he ventured farther into the jungle to seek a more serene place for intensive meditation. There is an ongoing investigation.[6] Police abandoned the search after the possibility of foul play was eliminated. Interestingly, the authorities froze the bank account of the local committee managing the crowds, which had now gathered more than Rs. 600,000.[7]
On March 19, the Chairman of the Om Namo Buddha Tapaswi Sewa Samiti (ONBTSS), Bed Bahadur Lama, and his colleagues allegedly met with Bomjan about 2 miles (3 kilometers) south-west of his meditation site. They say they spoke to him for thirty-minutes, during which Bomjan said "there is no peace here" and that he would return in six years, or roughly 2011 or 2012. He left a message for his parents telling them not to worry. He has not been seen nor heard from since.

Latest news from wikipedia:
"Bomjon has admitted to slapping some local villagers on July 22, 2010. The incident took place in the Bara district and police have been involved in the investigation after 17 complaints. Bomjon claimed that the locals were interrupting his meditation by climbing onto his platform, mimicking him, and attempting to manhandle him, and he was "therefore forced to beat them". According to him he slapped them "two or three times", while the villagers allege that they were assaulted more seriously."

I wonder what happened to this boy? Can't find any updates. Wouldn't you literally disappear (dematerialize) from not eating? Why are there breatharians living that haven't reached that stage? Makes no sense.

text: Lynn Burkhead, Major League Fishing Sudden Death Pressure Cooker MLF anglers face quick exit on Day Four of Summit Cup Beautiful, serene Chautauqua Lake is about to become an explosive aquatic pressure cooker.That's because this fourth day of the event marks the beginning of the Sudden Death rounds at the Jack Link's Major League Fishing 2013 General Tire Summit Cup competition on the picturesque 13,000-acre Western New York lake.With countless docks offering shots at largemouth bass resting in the shade, not to mention the temptation of schools of smallmouth bass swimming just off-shore, this could be a lightning fast sprint to the finish line."The cut-weight being 24 pounds, I think that's very achievable," said Mike Iaconelli, the 2003 Bassmaster Classic champion. "You really have no time for error. You really have no time to figure it out. You don't have time to catch a big one. You've really got to do it in one shot. You've got to fish hard and you've got to fish fast." Hence, the pressure cooker atmosphere when you put Ike and five other competitors in the same zone, give them a highly achievable cut-weight to reach, and drop the checkered flag as boats and motors roar off. Oklahoma's Jeff Kriet agrees, "The (cut) weight is a little lower than I expected them to set it at," said the angler affectionately known as "Squirrel" to his other competitors. "If you were to get on the right deal, I think you could max out in the first period."With that thought in the back of his mind, Kriet is focused on surging out of the gate this morning."You need to get off to a quick start," he said. "The way (this round) is, you might not have the luxury of being able to go into the last period and be able to make a quick comeback."But just adding the Sudden Death format to the mix, the top three anglers of the day or the first three to reach the 24-pound cut-weight first advance to the Championship Round, is only one part of the pressure-filled atmosphere. Zone 4 (Sudden Death Day 4)In Zone 4, anglers will find 9.7 miles of bass infested shoreline. The diverse habitat more noticeable between the Chautauqua Lake Veterans Memorial Bridge and rocky bar at Cheney's Point.There's also a noticeable weather change as the first real chill of late summer, early autumn grips Western New York. "This is the coldest morning of the week," said New Jersey's Iaconelli. "I woke up and I'm shivering and my hands are cold."Why such a big deal? It's because Chautauqua is loaded with shallow water docks that are housing potentially temperature sensitive largemouths."It's going to affect the early bite," Iaconelli said. "As much as I want to think that we can get this done pretty quick, it might be a later bite today."Interestingly enough, Iaconelli's fellow competitor Denny Brauer doesn't think that the chilly morning will do much to turn off the fishing. "The further North you go, these fish don't seem to be affected by the fronts as much," said the 1998 Bassmaster Classic champ. "They are a little more used to it."In fact, the Missouri pro suggests that just the opposite effect could happen with the morning's cool temperatures."It could be a positive," said Brauer. "A lot of times I've seen these fall fronts, especially the early ones, make the bite even better."Brauer said whatever conditions the fish might like, he's really liking the mix of shallow docks and offshore features, including a big bridge, that the zone offers the Major League Fishing pros."This particular area that we'll be fishing has really got some of the best structure on the whole lake as far as good drop-offs, points, and things like that (are concerned)," said Brauer, the 1988 B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year. And like his fellow pros, Brauer is convinced that the action could be fast and furious. "You've really got to make a decision fairly early in the game as to which direction you're going to go," he said. "I'm going to start out shallow, but if that's not happening, at least you've got an option in this zone."Iaconelli isn't so sure that the smallmouth option is really all that viable however. "I think the smallmouth that swim in this lake can win the event outright," Iaconelli said. "But the problem is the limited amount of time (we have) that keeps us from finding those places that they live at this time of the year. It takes a lot of time to get offshore, use your electronics, and study the graphs."And since the Major League Fishing pros aren't allowed any practice time or pre-tournament research - they don't even know which zone they are fishing until the night before - it's virtually impossible to find those aquatic veins rich with bronzeback gold, Ike said."With 15 minutes ahead of time (to look at the zone before the day's round begins) and 2.5-hour periods, you just don't have time to find those magic little sweet spots," he said.Editors Note: The following quotes are from an angler that competed on Elimination Day 3. For people that are only watching the EXTENDED CAST episodes, the angler's name has been removed, "Day 3 Angler" inserted, so that a spoiler isn't created.Even so, the knowledge that big schools of smallmouths could be out there on deeper structure is highly tempting, especially for Day 3 Angler, who plans to spend a good portion of his 15-minute run around the zone - the "Hot Round" - trying to find a few of those spots.In his mind, when you've seen one dock, you've seen them all. So he will spend his 15-minute search time looking for something else that could help him advance to the Championship round."Specifically, I'm looking for offshore milfoil beds with good hard edges on them," said Day 3 Angler. "You don't want those beds that (gradually) end in clumps. You want a good, hard edge. If the water was clear, you could see those with your eyes. But right now, you've got to really rely on your electronics."For the smallmouth, they'll really key in on that transition where it goes from heavy grass to no grass. They'll just swim up and down those weed lines although you have to get a little bit lucky and come through that zone right as a school comes through."When they do come through, an angler in the right place at the right time could cause all heck to break loose on the real-time iPad scoreboards aboard every boat.And with a field full of talented, fiercely competitive Major League Fishing pros eager to advance to the championship round where Summit Cup glory awaits, that could be just enough.Just enough to cause the Chautauqua Lake pressure cooker to begin to shake, rattle, roll, whistle and overheat. And maybe even explode. So be sure that you tune in to watch all of the fun Thursday at 9 p.m. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

It's time I caught you up on the progress of the novel I'm writing. In George Bizet's opera, "Carmen," a young army officer, Don Jose, stationed in Seville around 1820, falls in love, against his wishes, with a lovely and bewitching gypsy girl. He throws over his army career, his sweet, hometown fiancée and his integrity to have her, and even joins her band of brigands and smugglers, becoming a hunted fugitive.
Matters get worse quite soon when he notices that Carmen has started yawning whenever he smiles at her. The more he whines and threatens her, the more she withdraws. When she falls for the most famous "toreador" in Spain, Escamillo, and it becomes obvious that Carmen despises him and will never love him again, Don Jose kills her.
In the final scene of the opera, he sings the famous line, "Carmen, I adore you" to her broken, lifeless body. The hovering police then drag him off to face a death sentence.
The first version of this opera I saw was a Francesco Rosi film production, "Bizet's Carmen," (1984). That film captivated me so much I began a quest to see as many productions of "Carmen" as I could. I've not counted lately, but I'd say I've seen two-dozen in the past year-and-a-half and probably about 30 YouTube clips from other productions. I'm not much of a re-reader or re-watcher normally, so that's a fairly significant indication that I'm deeply captivated by this story.
While watching a Hungarian production of "Carmen" on a DVD one evening last June, I suddenly thought, "What if Escamillo wasn't just some cheesy matinee idol who turned Carmen's head away from humble, poor, miserable, victimized Don Jose? (Who after all, had stalked, and then murdered Carmen – who after all, was young, and had a right to love, or not love, whomever she pleased, and did not deserve to die.)
What if Escamillo sincerely loved Carmen? What if her death seriously and truly broke his heart? What happens next to him? How does he deal with his memories and his broken dreams?
Oh, and how about this? How does he deal with the scandal the whole affair causes? Yes, that's it, I thought: I'll draw all these characters off the stage and put them in the real world.
Let's say that Carmen, Don Jose, Escamillo and the other characters were actual people who lived and loved in Seville in 1874 or so. Let's say there really was a love triangle that worked like this: Carmen "dated" Don Jose for a little while, but he bored her. He was too naive – a country boy who didn't "get it." Too clingy.
She tried to break up, but he stalked her and threatened her. One night she met Escamillo in a tavern and they were mightily attracted to one another and had just begun a powerful relationship. On the day she was first supposed see him bullfight, Don Jose accosted her and killed her outside the arena.
Then, the media went berserk. Front-page news. "Love Triangle." "Love Nest." "Mad Passion ends in Tragedy." "Soldier Turns Matador in Bullfighting Competition," and so on. The sensationalizing press from Seville is joined by frantic journalists from Madrid, Cordoba, Barcelona, and Valencia.
The entire Mediterranean is abuzz. The news spreads to France, Germany, London, and Vienna – even to the United States.
And, as always, the story is twisted. Every aspect is taken to a cartoonish extreme. "The arrogant bullfighter," " The disgruntled army man," "Bewitching gypsies." Salaciousness, lust, anger, violent passions. Seville as a nest of sin and sinners.
Poor Escamillo: Not only is he heartbroken – he also feels it is his burden to tell the world the truth about Carmen. But no one wants to hear the truth when the media have concocted something so much more blood stirring. And what's more, Carmen's family has stolen her body from the police and absconded in the middle of the night with her.
She will be buried in some private burial spot no one outside her family will know about. She has shamed her family by loving an outsider. She'll get an unmarked grave. Escamillo sets out into the mountains, alone, hoping to find them, hoping to at least know her burial place, so he may visit her. And in his travels, what does he learn?
While her body is barely cold, a brash team of French operatic producers has dared to rush together a stage production based on her life and the famous, lurid, "love triangle of Seville."
Really, to his perceptions, this is crass effrontery: "Carmen –The Musical." How can human beings do such a thing to their fellows? How can they defame the name of this sweet young woman he loved? Who is this Mr. Bizet? Who are these actors and singers and dancers that can take someone's life and distort it so maliciously?
Escamillo, frustrated in his search for Carmen's family and already in Northern Spain, crosses the Pyrenees and heads for Paris. He will attend this opera himself. If it is as bad as he's heard, he will confront these actors and actresses. In fact, he shall seek out Mr. Bizet himself.
I must close for now. You can imagine the fun I'm having, between the research and the story, trying to hold the reins on this runaway as it courses though Spain and France on a quest to rewrite one of the world's greatest love stories before it becomes too well known.

"Love The Way You Lie" is getting a sequel, according to a new report.
On Saturday, JustJared.com reported that Eminem and Rihanna have teamed up for a sequel to their abuse-themed hit on the Bajan beauty's upcoming album, "Loud."

The song allegedly continues with the theme of abuse, but is told from a woman's perspective, with lyrics reportedly including, "Even angels have their wing cut schemes, and you take that to new extremes, but you will always be my hero, even though you lost your mind," according to the site.
The track was reportedly produced by the UK's Alex da Kid – the hip-hop mastermind behind the original "Love The Way You Lie" track, which was featured on Eminem's 2010 album, "Recovery."

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Rihanna told Access back in July that despite her once-volatile relationship with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, she did not shy away from the chance to be part of the emotionally-charged song.
"The lyrics were so deep, so beautiful and intense. It's something that I understood, something I connected with," Rihanna previously told Access. "I knew if [Eminem] sent me a record there must be something to it. It couldn't just be, 'Oh, Duh! She was in that relationship so we have to get her.'"
Rihanna's highly anticipated new album, "Loud," will hit stores on November 16.

The proper way of accomplishing that task is to install a set of lowering control arms or drop spindles. But sometimes these parts can get costly. At times like this, when gas prices are at an all-time high, we'll do what we can to save a buck or two. If you have some decent fabrication skills, you can get a similar result for less coin by chopping your factory A-arms. This '01 Ranger had cut coil springs on it, which made the ride horrible, and it was also wearing the tires quick because it had more negative camber than a door layin' Nissan. Follow along as we show you a money-saving trick that will help out while you save up for all the parts to lay your truck out properly.

U.S. Rep. Candice Miller: State harbors need funds for dredging
Everyone in Michigan understands the importance of our Great Lakes. They serve as an economic engine for not only our state's economy, but that of the entire nation. They provide millions with fresh drinking water, abundant fisheries and great recreational enjoyment. The Great Lakes are a natural treasure and blessing that require all of us to take action for their protection.
Right now, the Great Lakes are experiencing near record low water levels that are having a terrible effect on communities throughout the Great Lakes Basin whose economies depend on boaters having safe access to their harbors, whether they are recreational or commercial. There are many ideas on how this has happened and steps that could be taken to attempt to reverse this trend. But, really, there is nothing that can be done to cause water levels to rise immediately.
What we can do to offset the negative impact of low water levels is to dredge our harbors so they can remain open and available during the upcoming boating season.
For more than 100 years, the federal government has helped to fund the maintenance of many of our harbors. In the 1980s, the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund was created to provide needed funding for our harbors by collecting taxes on cargos. Unfortunately, Congress has failed to appropriate all of this money for this purpose.
For several years I have been a cosponsor of the Realize America's Maritime Promise (RAMP) Act, which would require this funding to be appropriated for its intended purpose. Unfortunately, even if the RAMP Act were passed, most of the funding would go to large commercial harbors, and none of the funding would find its way to our recreational harbors on the Great Lakes.
For the first several terms I served in Congress, I sought and supported earmarks to secure funding to dredge our harbors, like Lexington, Port Sanilac, Harbor Beach, Caseville and others. Because the earmarking process had been so abused, Congress put in place a ban on earmarks, which I fully supported, making it impossible to direct federal funding for this purpose. In short, the answer to our problem is not going to come from the federal level.
Last year, I began having conversations with Gov. Rick Snyder, looking to find a Michigan solution to this problem. I applaud his decision to use emergency funding to dredge our harbors during this low water level crisis, and to suspend the local-match requirement for cash-strapped communities looking to dredge their harbors that are vital to the local economy.
The governor has also proposed a future funding plan to make certain that there is a consistent funding source for dredging needs so that we are not required to take emergency action down the road and will allow communities to plan more effectively.
As a result of this plan, millions of Michiganians will continue to have access to our magnificent Great Lakes in the coming boating season, and millions of tourists will also find that our Great Lakes' harbors continue to be open for business so they can come and enjoy "Pure Michigan" once again. I applaud these actions, and I stand ready to assist in overcoming any federal hurdles that may arise as they conduct this important work.
Candice Miller, a Republican from Harrison Township, represents Michigan's 10th District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

About The Band
Marionette ID, from Hungary (Budapest/Tatabánya), plays an interesting blend of modern rock styles. (Though they despise any kind of categorization.) Their heavy and emotionally deep music looks to set trends rather than to follow any. Although they lack the experimentalism that might make their music inaccessible, and instead have quite a minimalist attitude, they still flirt with progressive structures, strange noisy patterns and unconventional rhythms. This makes their music stand out from contemporary indie/alternative stuff.
About The Album:
Emptiness Will Change Your Mind is Marionette ID's debut which was released by the band in 2008. The band joined Fluttery Records in 2010 just before their European Tour and the label decided to bring it to a wider audience.
"marionette ID are practicing a precision few bands dare to. If you are willing to give Emptiness Will Change Your Mind some time to grow, you will be richly rewarded."
"marionette ID from Budapest are creating an exceptionally mix between PostRock and IndieRock. In nearly 50 minutes on 'Emptiness Will Change Your Mind' they've wrapped up 8 really good songs which incite one to sing along."
"Excellent cross between Alternative and Progressive with a tip bit of post-rock influence. Turns out VERY GOOD. Give it a go. I did and I dig. Its musics like this that makes posting and writing entries fun. Solid 4 to 4.5 with GOOD vocals. Definitely look forward for more of their sound"
"Emptiness Will Change Your Mind." – one of the most philosophical and creative lines to come out of rock music in recent years."
The band's European tour dates are listed in their MySpace page. At the end of the Europian tour, they are going to start to tour in USA. The dates are listed in the band's MySpace page
