Information for Patients
Dislocations are joint injuries that force the ends of your bones out of position. The cause is often a fall or a blow, sometimes from playing a contact sport. You can dislocate your ankles, knees, shoulders, hips, elbows and jaw. You can also dislocate your finger and toe joints. Dislocated joints often are swollen, very painful and visibly out of place. You may not be able to move it.
A dislocated joint is an emergency. If you have one, seek medical attention. Treatment depends on which joint you dislocate and the severity of the injury. It might include manipulations to reposition your bones, medicine, a splint or sling, and rehabilitation. When properly repositioned, a joint will usually function and move normally again in a few weeks. Once you dislocate a shoulder or kneecap, you are more likely to dislocate it again. Wearing protective gear during sports may help prevent dislocations.

Toe Injuries and Disorders
Fourteen of the 26 bones in your feet are in your toes. The toes, particularly your big toe, help you move and keep your balance. Playing sports, running, stubbing your toe, and dropping something on your foot can damage your toes. Wearing shoes that are too loose or too tight can also cause toe problems. Certain diseases, such as severe arthritis, can cause toe problems and pain. Gout often causes pain in the big toe.
Common toe problems include
- Corns and bunions
- Ingrown toenails
- Sprains and dislocations
- Fractures
Treatments for toe injuries and disorders vary. They might include shoe inserts or special shoes, padding, taping, medicines, rest, and in severe cases, surgery.

Quote from: jnorm888 on September 24, 2009, 03:01:46 PMWere those "incredible sound minded atheists" once christian? Were they born and raised in a mostly christian culture or country where christian symbolism was everywhere (maybe not anymore, in this mostly secular age)Many were, many weren't. It all depends. Quote It is my personal prediction that the next generation of atheists will be mostly wild nihilistic, crazy anarchists,.........etc. So far, it seems to me that most of the wild and crazy anarchists in the U.S. claim to be Christian of one sort or another, not atheist. Just check out our recent political happenings to see the reality of that.Most "soft atheists" (or hard agnostics however one wants to phrase it) are in fact not nihilistic or crazy anarchists at all. It seems to me, most true anarchists (like the Joker in the Dark knight movie) in history were either mentally ill in some fashion, or were in fact quite religious in one form or another. (Bin Laden)Quote The more consistent an atheist gets, the more ideas and culture in general must change. A true consistent atheist must not believe in free will. For if the material world is all that there is, and if we are made of only material stuff, then all our choices must be determined, and all our choices must be 100%ly predictable. How did you come to such a strange conclusion about atheists and free will and everything being pre-determined? Did an atheist tell you that, or is that your conclusion as to what must be the "logical" outcome? As I know many atheists who strongly disagree with such an assumption. In fact, most atheists would find it odd that a religious person would accuse atheism is believing in and unchangeable "destiny".Quote If you are consistent, then you must believe that there is nothing wrong in herding people like animals, and nudging them, and killing them.....or doing whatever with them as you see fit. You mean like good Christians did for much of Christian history? Or how the Holy Orthodox Church empowered the Eastern Roman Empire to put down the dangerous "heretics" by torture, warfare, excommunication, dragging people through the streets, skinning pagan philosopher's alive, stuff like that? Or Do you mean how the Church/State union took away Jewish land and rights? Told Christians it was a sin to go to Jewish doctors? Or how Orthodox countries like Russia had things like the pogroms, and in fact DID "herd people like animals" (as long as the people were Jews or Poles) into specific areas. Or do you mean how countries like Greece were ruled by dictators in the 20th century? I remember being told by someone at Church on Pascha night before the service while they were roasting the lambs...how "during the war of Independence from the Turks, when we rose up against our oppressors"....yada yada yada.......the story went on for awhile and then ended about how the villagers took a Turkish soldier, skewered him like a lamb and roasted him alive over an open spit, just like they were roasting the lambs outside the Church that night....the story ended with everyone getting a big laugh over this story because of course, the evil Turks deserve to be treated like...well, like animals I suppose. Do you mean "atheist" ideals like that? I need not go into all the evil Western Christians have caused towards our fellow man because every good Orthodox Christian already knows all that those "Westerners" have done. But the Orthodox are in no wise clean in these ideas you assume are particularly "atheist". (and yes I know all the good and unquely Christian values the Church both East and West has brought about too, but it doesn't really apply to my point here)Quote Thus, there are consequences to a belief.....or lack of a belief. I think rather there are consequences to our ACTIONS....now granted you or I might say "well Christians that beat slaves, burned pagans alive, and rioted in the streets were not behaving like "true Christians" should behave...and so weren't following "true Christianity"" . . . . and yes, I'd definitely agree with that. That is my take on it because Christ's teachings are so clear that these things are in fact quite evil, not "ok to do because I'm saved/in the Church". With that said, there are atheists who would use a similar argument about institutional atheism like the Soviet Union, as not really be "atheism" at all, but itself a religion, or at least a religious styled philosophy used for political gain and power. They would, and have argued that a "true thinking atheist" would not do such horrible things.....because, well it's irrational and actually goes against atheist ideals. Like, the idea that we only have one life to live, and we should make the best of it, which includes helping people in need, feeding the poor, and creating a better world for all humanity. Yes atheists believe in these Christian values too. Indeed, if all atheists were like Richard Dawkins, then I'd agree with you that atheism is a dangerous philosophy because Dawkins and his group harbor a pseudo religious hatred toward, well religion. (ironic isn't it..lol!) However Dawkins seems to simply be doing what religious people have been doing for a long time. I don't see these problems as really "religious" or "atheist"....these are human problems. Call it original sin, ancestral sin, or some scientific name, for a "selfish gene", but it's a human issue. Granted extreme atheism and extreme Fundamentalist religious beliefs empower people to do evil things they might not otherwise do, however throughout human history, religious Fundamentalism has the far longer track record in doing awful things. "Atheism" with the Soviets and China caught up quickly in numbers, however the fact that these are really the extremes of both sides doing the exact same things shows to me that these are HUMAN problems.I'm certainly not down playing the role of religion in particular (after all most religions believe in an "after life" and so if we "go to heaven" when we die, then what's the big deal if we kill a bunch of people....ie they're not really dead only "in the hereafter".....and so religious extremism I find a bit more unsettling than atheist extremism, however extremism is extremism and is dangerous no matter what. And in the end, it's a "human" problem. Beliefs of course are important, but atheists typically do not raise their children to believe in "nothing"....however in the U.S. (heck and in Greece where 98% of everyone is Orthodox) people raise their children with "Christian values" and yet young people, raised Christian are the ones who typically believe in "nothing". Anyways, I fear I've derailed the thread here with "bigger" questions to ponder which was not my intention. I just felt like atheists/agnostics were getting a bad wrap and an "us vs them" theme was beginning to play out, which has been happening since the Enlightenment which kind of set up the idea we're all "seperate" peoples.....there, we can blame the Enlightenment as opposed to each other for the woes of the modern world...much better...LOL!

I'm not sure that this subject is a good one for public discussion in an open forum. Too many of us are enraged by what this man did, and rage is contagious -- it spreads like a flu epidemic. I'm one of those who catches this particular flu every time it comes around unless I am *very* careful. On a personal level, our Lord's words were that we are to forgive anybody who asks forgiveness, no matter what they did. He didn't give us any outs on that command, and told us that the consequences of not forgiving would be that we will also not be forgiven. Entertaining public thoughts of torturing perpetrators of sin or crime isn't okay. It feeds sin within us and tempts others who also find their anger hard to control in cases like this to do the same.In this case, the perpetrator will be locked away and unable to harm other children. There are criminals that benefit from parole, early releases due to overcrowding, and the like, some of whom probably should not be let go. A man convicted of these sorts of crimes is not in that group, however. In my (not humble enough) opinion it is right to jail perpetrators of this sort of crime for life without parole; letting a violent sexual predator who has attacked prepubescent children go is saying that their lives are worth less than the predator's freedom. I will pray for the child and her family, who have also been given a life sentence without parole by this terrible crime. I also intend to pray for the perpetrator's repentance and eventual salvation, however, because our God became incarnate for him as well as the rest of the human race. Sometimes I need to remind myself of that, and to remember that I also have evil in me. Praying for evil men is a good reminder of both things.Lord, have mercy!
One thing that people must realize is that you cannot read "texts" from the ancient world the same way we read texts today. We are a text driven society. The milieu of the NT was an oral society. Only 5-10% of the population could read. Fewer could read AND write. Writing and reading are intrinsically foreign to language itself. If you were to represent all of human history in one calendar year, that is, Adam and Eve began on Jan. 1 and we are at Dec. 31, which month would you think that writing was invented in? May? No. August? No. November? No. December? Yes. And when in December? The first? No. The fifth? No. The tenth? No. The fifteenth? No. The 21st! As such, writing is a very recent innovation in the history of language. The invention of the alphabet is even more novel as most writing systems were originally ideographic or syllabic (vowel-consonant clusters). A written text cannot defend itself, Plato tell us. How many of us have gotten angry over the words of an editorial or other printed medium? We cannot change it and trying to argue with it will be of no avail. Written text codifies truth as well as it does mistakes. So, how are we to tell the former from the latter? You must decide what is traditional. Let me provide an example.In Nigeria, in the 1800s, the British Imperial Government, to keep order had their court system in place to hear disputes between various groups within tribes regarding disputes, most often concerning land. This particular situation involves a group called the Tiv. The British, being meticulous record keepers, kept written records of what transpired at various hearings. To assert claims of a family to a certain section of land, a tribal leader will read off his genealogy showing his ancestral claim. The British wrote this down. However, a situation arose when the the same piece of land came up in dispute and the same tribal leaders appeared and recited their genealogies establishing their rights to the land. To the surprise of the British, the genealogies were not exactly the same. Now, there was no accusation of lying (at least none that I am aware of) or bad faith on either the Tiv or the British. But, one thing you must remember about an oral society is that as their language is not codified and is more fluid so thus they are more fluid with expression. For the Tiv, a person's prominence in the genalogy is reflected by not only audience but also by circumstance in which is retold. Language is never just an individual construct but in spoken form, very dependent upon the audience that hears. With text, you need not worry about that.Now, as far as contradictions go, let me provide you another comparison. In the library of Alexandria, there were at any one time 132 versions of Homer's Iliad. Notice, I did not say "copies". The librarians of Alexandria would invite people to dock at Alexandria and while the captains of the ship or passengers were enjoying the amenities of Alexandria, the librarians would make copies of the version of the Iliad, whether it was the whole thing or only a small part, and give those copies back to the people who lent it. These are called "ship scrolls." Now, which one of those 132 versions was the "correct one?" The answer: none. Why? Because the Iliad is a heroic poem from Bronze Age Greece and was written down (perhaps this is why the Greek alphabet was invented, or so says Dr. Powell of Wisconsin-Madison) in the Archaic Age around 700 B.C., 500 years from it's first "composition." A lot can happen in 500 years. The very nature of langauge is fluid and it cannot be contained by text. Text is deficient and locks up variation. Oral poems and works do not conform to our definition of text. If they did, then a very minor character in Homer's Iliad, who dies in Book II will not miraculously resurrect in Book XXIV. To us that is contradictory, to the poet(s) of the Iliad, no.Here's another way to think about it. Let us say that all of us here on OC.net were gathered in the same room. If I asked everyone to go to the window, close their eyes and then open them and record here what the first thing they saw was, the responses would drastically vary. I might say "tree", Alveus might say "sky", Isa "building", Fr. George "grass", OzGeorge "bird" etc., etc.. Now who among us is right? The answer: none. We are all right, but we might only remember our one response. When it comes to the New Testament or even the Old(er) Testament, we cannot apply rules of text. WE cannot expect those texts that have come down to us to be bound by the same rules that we use today. If the Iliad were written today, I guarantee you no one would publish it. Why? Because it's replete with those "problems" of inconsistency and contradiction. Maybe the NT and OT would also be unpublishable today under the same circumstances. First of all, we must disregard the "Protestant" notion that the NT and OT are infallible. THe Protestants decided this, not the Church of the Fathers. Humans had a hand in the creation of Scripture. God didn't just replace Mark with one of his angels and then set him to write. God worked through each of these men, using their talents and even their flaws. (How else can you explain the very poor Greek of Mark?) The flaws of human language worked their ways into the stories we read week in, week out. I suppose that that is another manifestation of the mercy of God or at least that God has a sense of humor; I don't know. Our flaws, as human beings, are in the Scriptures of God through the medium of the language that we use. Because one Gospel writer says there was one angel at the Resurrection versus another who says there were two is to make an issue where none should exist. The people that make the biggest deal out of this do not understand the first thing about the development of human language, let alone of human nature.When I teach this stuff to my students, I always reference, Episode VI of Star Wars "Return of the Jedi" when Luke, following Yoda's death, asks Obi-Wan why he lied to him. Obi-Wan says he didn't lie but told it from his point of view. In his point of view, Anakin Skywalker was really dead, betrayed and murdered by Darth Vader even though it's later realized that Anakin and Vader are one and the same person.Sorry for the long explanation. I hope it helps.

Michigan and Duke are basketball rivals?
Right, so I was bouncing around the interwebz a little while ago basking in the fact that Duke lost and that we are #1 for now, and then discovered this:
Apparently the "rivalry" between Michigan and Duke is big enough to warrant a Wiki page. I was utterly unaware of this. I mean... what?

BOSTON — The Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren lawn signs still dot the landscape but, in politics-obsessed Massachusetts, speculation is already turning to the next election — or two.
BOSTON — The Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren lawn signs still dot the landscape but, in politics-obsessed Massachusetts, speculation is already turning to the next election — or two.
The first is the 2014 race for governor. Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick has pledged not to seek a third term, leaving an open campaign for the state's top elected office.
The second hinges on whether President Barack Obama taps Sen. John Kerry to serve as secretary of state. That would prompt yet another Senate election in Massachusetts, after this year's contest and the 2010 special election. If Kerry remains in the Senate, he faces a re-election campaign in 2014.
Given the drubbing Massachusetts Republicans suffered this week — losing not only the U.S. Senate race, but a close contest in the 6th Congressional District and a handful of Statehouse seats — much of the political chatter is focused on how the party can regain its footing.
Peter Blute, the party's deputy chairman, said it's too early to start writing political obituaries. He blamed the losses on a "wave election" where energized Democrats turned out in droves for the presidential and Senate contests.
Massachusetts has strong Republican candidates, Blute said, including Brown, still one of the most popular Republicans in the state despite his loss Tuesday.
Blute pointed to other potential GOP candidates, including former gubernatorial candidate Charles Baker; Richard Tisei, who lost the 6th District contest to Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. John Tierney, and state Rep. Daniel Winslow, chief legal counsel for then-Gov. Mitt Romney.
Another potential candidate is former Gov. William Weld, who recently moved back to Massachusetts to take a job as partner with the Mintz Levin law firm.
Weld was on the campaign trail the Sunday before Election Day, cheering Brown on and casting the election as a battle of "man vs. machine."
"Bill Weld would be a great candidate," Blute said. "He had style and aplomb and people remember that."
Democrats have an equally deep political team.
Among possible candidates for governor are state Treasurer Steven Grossman, Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray and Attorney General Martha Coakley. The list of possible Democratic candidates for an open Senate seat may be an even longer, including many members of the U.S. House, such as Rep. Michael Capuano.
And even though he was just elected to his first term in the state's 4th Congressional District, Joseph Kennedy III can't be dismissed as a possible Senate hopeful given how much weight the Kennedy name still holds in Massachusetts.
Publicly, Kerry has said he's focused on his day job, but the speculation around his possible appointment as secretary of state has surged.
Kerry gave an impassioned defense of Obama during the Democratic National Convention. Current Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has already said she doesn't want to serve another four years.
Despite his loss, Brown has several factors in his favor as a potential candidate: He remains popular, his name recognition is high and he has a statewide political organization.
Whether he wants to endure a third Senate race is an open question, although Brown, deliberately or not, helped stoke expectations during his concession speech when he said, "There are no obstacles you can't overcome and defeat is only temporary."
Asked this week about the possibility of a Kerry departure — which would suddenly make her the state's senior senator — Sen.-elect Warren praised Kerry while tamping down expectations.
"Sen. Kerry is an enormously talented man and a dedicated public servant. I have no doubt he would make an extraordinary secretary of state, but right now he's making tremendous contributions to our country through his work in the United States Senate," Warren said.
Political watchers have also been abuzz about Patrick's future. That buzzing only grew louder at the end of the week when Patrick and wife Diane were invited to a "social dinner" with Obama at the White House.
Patrick, a friend of Obama with whom he shares Chicago roots, played a prominent role in the president's re-election campaign. He delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention and served as a frequent surrogate for Obama in television appearances.
Patrick has tried to squash talk of any role in an Obama second term, pledging to serve out his final two years as governor.
If Kerry becomes secretary of state, however, Patrick must name an interim senator to fill the vacancy until a special election is held.
Patrick, who said Kerry would be a "terrific secretary of state," said he hasn't thought that far ahead.
"I don't have a secret list," Patrick said. "This is all wild speculation."

New guidance on risk management the 'capstone' for implementation, program leader says
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has released the final version of its guidelines for implementing enterprisewide information risk management, laying out the underlying principles for implementing the Federal Information Security Management Act.
Ron Ross, who leads NIST's FISMA implementation program, called Special Publication 800-39 "the capstone document for FISMA implementation. This brings it all together."
The publication, under the title, "Managing Information Security Risk," describes a three-tiered risk-management approach based on the organization's core missions and business functions. It is the fourth of five planned publications in an interagency effort to harmonize information security requirements across the government's civilian, military and intelligence communities.
Related coverage:
NIST releases 'historic' final version of Special Publication 800-53
Progress is slow on harmonizing government cybersecurity policies
"It is imperative that leaders and managers at all levels understand their responsibilities and are held accountable for managing information security risk — that is, the risk associated with the operation and use of information systems that support the missions and business functions of their organizations," the guidelines state.
The three tiers identified in 800-39 begin at the governance level, where an enterprisewide strategy is developed. Procedures for identifying and evaluating risks are established, the enterprise's tolerance for risk is defined based on core mission, and plans for managing risk are set up, either by eliminating them, mitigating them, sharing them or accepting them. A plan for monitoring risk in a dynamic environment and adapting to changes also is needed.
In the second tier, the strategy is built into the enterprise architecture, based on the enterprise's mission processes. The information security architecture becomes a roadmap for deploying all elements of security in the infrastructure.
The third tier is the information systems level, in which systems are developed with the security built in.
"Managing information security risk, like risk management in general, is not an exact science," the guidelines state. "It brings together the best collective judgments of individuals and groups within organizations responsible for strategic planning, oversight, management, and day-to-day operations — providing both the necessary and sufficient risk response measures to adequately protect the missions and business functions of those organizations."
Ross said the strategic approach is not new, and builds on the assumption that managing risk should begin at the top of the organization. But the short-term need to patch and defend against existing vulnerabilities too often diverts attention from a more strategic approach.
NIST is responsible under FISMA for developing guidelines, standards and specifications for IT security, but the FISMA requirements do not apply to national security IT systems. This has resulted in separate but overlapping programs for government IT security. Civilian, military and intelligence agencies have been cooperating for two years to bring their information security policies into line with each other under the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative.
An interagency working group was formed under the task force in April 2009 by NIST, the Defense Department and the Director of National Intelligence to produce a unified information security framework, with NIST taking the lead and publishing guidance.
Three previous publications have been released by NIST as part of this effort:
SP 800-39 supersedes the original SP 800-30, Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments, as guidance on risk management. An updated version of SP 800-30 is expected to be published this year and will complete the task force's initial plans.
The completion of the five task force documents will not mean the end of NIST information security guidance. Ross said there have been discussions on two more possible publications under the harmonization effort. Work already has begun on a NIST document on system and security engineering that Ross said he would like to see become part of the harmonization effort. Guidelines on best practices for secure application development also are a possibility.

Will there be a CONOP or some sort of standardization for legacy DoD produced software to obtain Authority To Operate (ATO)? Huge waist of $ right now putting "Simple Software" through the DIACAP process when virtually all IA criteria is either Inherited or N/A; but the packages still have to go through all of the certification and accreditation agencies for collaboration, votes, additional collaboration, votes, etc.. spend over $100K easily to "Certified IAMs".. As a Retired ITCM, USN, it kills me to see all this wasted monies. It'd be cheaper to just have one standard across all services for legacy "simple software applications" so Program Managers can evaluate and test their software internally, provide a copy of it to a host system tester, i.e... ISNS at SPAWAR for an IA test, eRetina Gold Disk Test, if it passes, then, it should be accredited. If any IA items have risks, that are obviously inherited from the host system, the software should be accredited, (don't need 2 dozen meetings and payouts to "certified IAMs, 2 ODAAs, etc..).. Thanks for hearing me out, dealing with these issues right now and it looks like the problems are going to get worse versus better. Paul Sigmon

In what was anything but a friendly match, the Houston Dynamo downed Mexican powerhouse Monterrey 3-0 in a physical, card-filled affair on Sunday night before a crowd of 28,440 - Houston's largest of the season and the eighth-largest to see the Dynamo play at Robertson Stadium.
Houston got goals from Cam Weaver, Brad Davis, and Jason Garey, but when it was all over, the major plotline showed up on the disciplinary report. The match saw seven yellow cards, three red cards, and four ejections total, including two ejections before halftime.
The fireworks started after a 12th-minute goal from Weaver put Houston up 1-0. Weaver took a chance from 20 yards out, and his deflected shot beat Monterrey goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco to give Houston the early lead.
Not five minutes later, nastiness between the teams began to show up. Monterrey's Neri Cardozo and Houston's Adam Moffat both earned yellow cards for pushing after a foul had been whistled. Then Houston was awarded a penalty kick when Brazilian midfielder Luiz Camargo made a run into the box on the end of a give-and-go with Davis and was tackled by defender Severo Meza. On the penalty, Davis beat Orozco to the lower right corner to give Houston a 2-0 lead.
Just a minute after the second goal, Monterrey midfielder Cesar Delgado took umbrage after a Camargo tackle. Camargo earned a yellow, and Delgado, who made contact with Camargo's face, got away with a yellow card. Soon after, Rayados captain Luis Ernesto Perez laid into Davis after a showy spin move in the center circle, and Perez was ejected.
Monterrey then went down to nine men when Humberto Suazo, Monterrey's most dangerous player with four of their five shots, elbowed Houston defender Hunter Freeman in retaliation for a physical challenge. Suazo, who memorably struck the goal that beat Real Salt Lake in the CONCACAF Champions League final in May, was ejected immediately.
With a two-man advantage, Houston took control of the ball in what was a relatively subdued second half. Still, there were two cautions and two ejections — Monterrey coach Victor Manuel Vucetich was forced to leave the field in the 67th minute and Moffat was shown a second yellow in the 86th minute.
Houston's patience and work paid off in the 70th minute when Davis hit a curling free kick from the right corner that found Garey, a halftime substitute, at the back post. The ball fell to Garey when Rayados reserve goalkeeper Juan de Dios Ibarra mistimed his punch, and the Dynamo striker chested the ball in for the final goal.
Houston returns to league play at Sporting Kansas City next Saturday in a crucial match in the playoff race.

Living in 182 Square Feet in Seattle
Inspired by boats — but an airplane interiors engineering for Boeing during the day — Seattle resident Steve Sauer has made the most of his 182-square-foot home. The Seattle Times shows us how Steve combined custom furniture and hacks with off-the-shelf finds from big box stores like IKEA and West Elm.
Steve's design divided the condo in 3 living levels that include 2 beds, storage for 2 bikes, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and even a bonus soaking tub underneath a panel in the hallway (you can see it the yellow floor panel covering it in the second image, above!

As soon as the EU-version of this beta firmware is available, we'll test 5.1 surround sound DSD files with OPPOBDP-105. If positive, these audio files will then be added to our free Test Bench. DSD64 and DSD128 in stereo are already available: http://www.2L.no/hires/index.html
News Flash: Oppo now plays DSD files
Oppo has just offered "Public Beta Test Release" firmware that provides a plethora of new features and fixes, most of which are addressed to audio matters. The players will now support AIFF files, exFat drives, and have enhanced support for CUE files and playlists. Most important, since it is at the top of the change list, is "support for Direct Stream Digital (DSD) file playback from local storage. The DSD files can be either stereo or multi-channel. Both the DFF and the DSF formats are supported."
A review of these Oppo players will appear soon in the May "Music in the Round" and I will be following up with a report on my experiences with multichannel DSD playback. However, I have been using this new feature for a month now and it is too important to hold back.
One simply plugs a USB drive (formatted FAT32 or, now, exFat) with DSF or DFF files into the front or back USB "A" jack on the Oppo and select it as source. The DSD files will appear on the track/album/artist lists on the video display (above). Just click and play as with the more familiar WAV, FLAC, etc. files.
Now, here's the really good news. The Oppo will play multichannel as well as stereo DSD and that makes the Oppo the least expensive multichannel DSD-file player by a wide, wide margin. I have been enjoying glorious multichannel downloads from Channel Classics' website as well as a couple of their spectacular "live" session files (Mahler Symphony 1 and #) made at the recording and without edits. Wow is all I can say.
Here are the caveats. Oppo warns that it "is not possible to revert back to any previous official or beta firmware releases once this version is installed on the player. There will be no problem upgrading to any future official or beta firmware releases." They add that "due to the extensive changes in this major firmware update, it is required that the user performs a "Reset Factory Defaults" operation after the firmware is installed . . . You may experience stability issues if this step is not performed." Also, streaming DSD files from a server is not yet possible.
But this is a big deal. So, at the moment, it is your move but an official release is undoubtedly just on the horizon.
multi-channels DSD...
How about DSD over PCM by way of Asynchronous USB, or Samba share? Putting files onto a USB flash drive is not quite as convenient as a properly setup MPD instance in Linux or network streaming.
Regardless, thanks, Oppo! I adore my BDP-105.
Good news! I was told that it would not work via the Ethernet or the asynch ports and, indeed, it would not work with DLNA. However, just 20 minutes ago, I tried SMB and got it to play a multichannel DFF.
This seem to have DSD playback too and is about $250 cheaper than the 103. I am comparing the 103 and the 790 for making my media player purchase. Any suggestions to what kind of music would bring out the difference when I am comparing them in a store ?
As far as the Sony BDP-S790 goes, there is no indication in the manual that it will handle any DSD files via any of its ports. It will play SACD, though.
Not sure what wozwoz is referring to, the Oppo or the Sony. I know the Oppo will play downloaded DSD files but I doubt that the Sony will.
Dear Kar,
I believe that what woz is asking, if there is any conversion internally to PCM from DSD files, or like other DACs, like Mytek and Playback Designs MPS, they convert it natively from DSD to analog?
DSD > analog or
DSD > PCM > analog?
Sorry. I thought that most people already know what the Oppos do. They can, of course, go either way. Since they are more than just DACs, they can do many things including bass/channel management and, if you select that, there is a PCM intermediary conversion. OTOH, if you decline all that (and you do not connect the HDMI2 to a 2channel TV), you can get direct conversion from DSD to analog.
Will the BDP-95 play DSD/AIFF as well? It essentially has the same Sabre DAC chips between the two, so it seems like this should be plausible. I've been having to convert my hirez .aiff files to FLAC to play them off a USB thumbdrive on my 95... so this would be welcome news, besides the DSD abilities. Now... if only someone would figure out a good way to RIP our personal SACD collections so that we can have native DSD files on our hard drives....
No. These new features are for the 103/105 only, at least at present. Sorry.
Am using a Korg MR-1000 to create needledrops at 5.6 Mhz. Will this new firmware play these 128x DSD files? Thanks!
Not for me. Those files seem to play at half-speed, i.e., slowly and with lowered pitch.
The revivial of DSD as a distribution format is dubious at best. The same noise shaping process is required in any 1-bit recording...something a simple spectral analysis will confirm. To keep the audio band clean, all of the noise is moved above 30 kHz.
And few fail to realize that many if not most DSD recordings have been processed using high definition PCM during the post production and mastering stages. Even after more than 10 years after the introduction of the SACD format, there are no tools for doing DSD mixing or mastering in the DSD format. And there are not likely to be. Record labels, including Morten's 2L company, do not record using DSD...he uses DXD, which is a high sample rate and longer word length version of PCM.
I had the chance to compare a native DSD, HD PCM and analog tape recording of the same ensemble a couple of weeks ago at a beautiful studio in Montana. The results were very interesting. I'll be posting them on the real HD-Audio blog very soon. Stay tuned.
I not saying that DSD cannot sound terrific! I have heard some tremendous recording that were done natively in DSD but they weren't "closer to analog" (whatever that means) or anything of the sort. In fact, they weren't any better than a 96 kHz/24-bit PCM recording done with care. The formats available to interested audiophiles have different attributes...some positive and some negative...but that all have a "sound". For me, I want to avoid the distortion and limited frequency response associated with DSD...and that means I will continue to record and deliver my projects in HD-Audio using PCM.
We have now implemented DSD 5.1 surround sound audio files in our new web shop. The MOZART Violin Concertos might be a good starting point. This recording was declared a "Record to Die For" by STEREOPHILE Magazine back in 2008 and won the Norwegian GRAMMY as Best Classical Album. https://shop.klicktrack.com/2l/31396

The Hobbit
An Unexpected Journey: Quint on the set of The Hobbit! Part 1 - Concerning Hobbiton
Published at: Oct 31, 2011 6:13:46 AM CDT
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here currently writing from the overgrown wilds of New Zealands North Island. Ive been rather secretive about my trip to the southern hemisphere and for that I apologize, but it had to be done.
Heres the deal. Im kicking off a new, temporary, regular column that Im calling An Unexpected Journey because thats exactly what it is. A little over a month ago an email arrived asking of my interest in embedding myself on the set of The Hobbit for the entirety of their location shoot, spending over 2 months in New Zealand rolled in with the crew and writing up their adventures, hassles, triumphs and tribulations as they traveled all over the country shooting bits and pieces from the upcoming two-parter prequel to Lord of the Rings. As Winston Zeddemore taught us all, the answer to this kind of question is always YES!
Calling The Hobbit a prequel doesnt exactly feel right, though. This isnt a film cooked up to cash in on an absurdly successful franchise. As most Tolkien readers and human beings over the age of 7 know, The Hobbit burst forth from the pen of JRR Tolkien first. There are many Middle Earth stories, but The Hobbit is the natural choice. Its high adventure and lets us revisit some of our favorite locations and characters within its own, unique story.
Case in point, the very first location visited on this trip: Matamata, Waikato, New Zealand North Island, also known as Hobbiton.
Gorgeous, isnt it? As amazing as it looks in those pictures or in the movies theres something incredibly surreal and humbling to stand ON TOP of Bag End and overlook The Shire. I love (good) CGI, I have a lot of respect for the digital artists that toil away for hours and days and weeks and months in a dark room so we can go to Ancient Greece or Pandora or spend some time with Jurassic Park dinosaurs or Gollum or Caesar or those fookin prawns, but if there was ever a shred of doubt that real wins it was obliterated as the sheep bayed, horses neighed, wind blew and smoke started pouring out of hobbit hole chimneys dotting the lush green landscape in the valley below me.
And when I say green I mean GREEN. The grass in this North Island New Zealand farmland is like Wizard of Oz Technicolor. Its so bright it almost hurts the eyes.
But we all know New Zealand is beautiful. Thats a given at this point. By the end of December youll be given your fill of unbelievable scenery images as I travel from location to location (especially when I hit the South Island). Lets get into what was actually happening in Hobbiton.
Wake up time was 5:15am, which barely gave me enough time to get showered and presentable before making the 40+ minute drive from my Hamilton hotel to the location deep in the rolling green hills of Matamata.
Once past security I found myself driving along a small dirt and gravel road following signs to crew parking. Sure enough, the countryside was beautiful and Tolkeinesque, but it wasnt until I made a turn and saw the incredibly iconic stone bridge leading to The Green Dragon that it really struck me where I was.
That feeling intensified standing at base camp, perched on top of Bag End, looking over Hobbiton with dozens of Hobbit holes laid out over acres of green hills and the massive party tree anchored in the middle of everything.
The crew was setting up a crane out on the narrow walkway in front of Bag End for their first shot actually in Hobbiton in over 10 years. Because of the narrow and steep path down, the crew had to bring crane parts down and assemble much of it there. It took a little while, but before too long the familiar circular green front door of Bag End cracked open and out stepped an even more familiar face.
Munching on jellied toast, Frodo Baggins sauntered out and hopped down the steps leading to the mailbox, grabbed some mail and headed back inside.
Whats Frodo doing in The Hobbit? I dont want to spoil too much, but I can say that Frodo is part of the connecting tissue between The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring.
In fact, the next shot was an over the shoulder on Elijah Wood hammering a sign up on Bag Ends front gate: No Admittance Except On Party Business. You guys should have an idea where that puts this moment in the timeline.
Martin Freeman stood in for Ian Holm, who shot all of his scenes and close-ups in London. They would sometimes play footage theyve already shot to remind themselves of what they had done previously and to help them match up shots. Peter and crew did that for these reverse shots on Elijah and I got to see Ian as Bilbo once again. It was quite extraordinary, actually. Seeing Ian in close up, wearing the wig, the vest and the pointy ears just put a smile on my face.
While I didnt talk to Elijah about it, I bet it meant the world to him to have Martin there actually giving a performance for him to act off of. Freeman even adopted a little bit of Ian Holms speech patterns for these scenes and was so good at impersonating Ian Holm that more than once I wondered if the voice I was hearing over the coms was Ians on playback or Martins in real life. Usually in these situations theyll have the script girl or one of the dialect coaches read the lines and while that works a charm, theres something extra special about a performer giving a performance. Like I said, I didnt talk to Elijah about it, but I bet he appreciated Martin doing that for him.
Their conversation is about Gandalf and if Bilbo thinks Gandalf will show up. Bilbo says He wouldnt miss a chance to let off his whiz-poppers. Hell put on quite a show, youll see, and Frodo grins, saying hes going to go surprise him and bounds off down the path like a kid at Christmas. When I say he bounds down the path thats not an exaggeration for illustrative purposes. He was damn near skipping, a glimpse of that pre-ring Frodo we meet in Fellowship.
After Frodo leaves the frame is very wide featuring The Shire in all its glory; The Green Dragon and mill smack dab in the middle.
Its my understanding this shot will transition to 60 Years Earlier with Young Bilbo sitting in front of Bag End contently smoking a pipe and casually blowing smoke rings as Gandalf comes along and presents him with his adventure.
At lunch I caught up with Elijah who was wide-eyed and smiling, obviously enjoying being back in Hobbiton with the furry feet on. He ran off and I said, Where do you think youre going? His reply: Back to Bag End, my friend!
I had to run over to wardrobe to get fitted for my cameo the next day, but soon made my way back to set. We had the same scene going and this time they had the camera tight on Frodo. While it was a tighter shot than before, it still captured the landscape behind him. I mean, thats the whole reason we were out there in the first place, so I wasnt going to see a whole lot of close-ups and insert shots being filmed. In this case, it was a full on front shot of Frodo, the massive Party Tree behind him.
Seeing the footage of Ian as Old Bilbo was crazy, but nothing compared to seeing Elijah as Frodo in the furry-footed flesh. Ive gotten to know Elijah pretty well over the last 13 years and it was the very definition of surreal talking to Frodo. Not Elijah. Frodo. I was literally not talking to a friend, but a fictional character, not to mention the magnifier of actually seeing him in Hobbiton.
I have to talk about the livestock. This will be the first time Ive traveled internationally where I will have to check off the Yes box when asked if Ive been near livestock on the arrival card. All forms of livestock were on set. There was even a runaway cow who decided she didnt like the film business on the first take and bolted right the hell out of Hobbiton.
It was quite funny, actually. I feel bad for the production having to pause, but from my high-up point of view (remember I was standing on top of the hill overlooking Hobbiton this whole day) it was very entertaining watching this cow haul ass along the path between the hobbit holes with a poor A.D. running about 20 feet behind her, desperately trying to catch up.
There were all manner of animals on the set ranging from goats to roosters, pigs, oxen, horses and all of them had handlers there to make sure they were fed, watered and safely munching on the lush green grass of Matamata. They would quickly duck out of frame whenever shots would go up.
Shortly after getting the shot on Frodo the unmistakable sound of chopper blades hit our ears. It was circling us. Obviously someone had hired it to fly above and take photos of the set.
An hour or two later a small, single-engine prop plane did the same thing, flying low and circling. Photos hit the net shortly after, I noticed. The crew was quite annoyed, not because Hobbiton was being exposed to the world, but because the choppers and planes were constantly getting in the shot and the sound of the engines was either ruining takes or making the production halt until they got out of earshot which could be a long while if they are circling.
So, it was an unwanted intrusion, especially frustrating when you consider they were already waiting for the light to be right, to get behind a cloud or peak out from behind a cloud depending on the previous shot.
It got to the point that producer Zane Weiner asked me to take a photo of the plane so we can try to get its tail number. I had the 18mm-55mm lens on my camera (which means its a shorter lens and doesnt zoom in too far), so I ran back to my bag, grabbed my 200mm lens and popped it on, but I was too late. The plane had already gone. Zane wanted me to let you guys know I failed at that particular task. And on my first day of location reporting, too.
That was one day of location shooting on The Hobbit. One day down, two months to go! Before I conclude this article, Id like to set up a little space where Ill be featuring a member of the crew. God willing Ill be able to do this with each of my pieces, introducing you to the fine folks who I spend my days with. These guys are the unsung heroes of filmmaking, so I feel they should be represented.
Kicking things off will be Kiran Shah.
If youve watched the appendices on the Extended Editions of the Lord of the Rings films you should recognize Kirans name. Hes a much loved character around the set. Hes an actor, stunt man and scale double. On Rings he doubled Elijah Wood, but before Lord of the Rings he had a massive career.
For instance, hes in Raiders of the Lost Ark hes the guy who brings the poisoned dates into Indy and Sallah. He doubled Short Round in Temple of Doom, he was a character in Ridley Scotts Legend (Blunder) and even knew Stanley Kubrick.
The story he told me was that he got to know Kubrick a little bit, but even being on friendly terms with the maestro didnt save him when he popped in for a visit on the set of Eyes Wide Shut. Stanley spotted him and said, Kiran, out! We all know the stories about how Kubrick didnt like a lot of crew around and that was Kirans little tale about it.
He also mentioned that LOTR and Hobbit illustrator/designer Alan Lee did the character designs for Legend and even drew the character that Shah ended up playing to look just like him. Shah attributes getting the role to Lee because he remembered auditioning for it and seeing Ridley Scott do a double take when Shah entered the room, looking back at the character design and up at him again.
In The Hobbit, Shah is up to his usual shenanigans, making the crew (and visiting movie geek reporters) crack up in-between takes and doubling hobbits. In the above picture hes waiting to double Martin Freemans Bilbo, which is why his eyes are reverse raccooned in his picture. Theres an eerie silicone mask of Bilbos face that hell put on when Bilbo is needed to be seen in a close to correct proportion.
Shah will also be a Goblin in the film and is just an overall joy to be around and as such he is this columns inaugural featured crew member.
The next report will cover my cameo appearance during a Hobbit market in front of The Green Dragon. There is a particular actor in this scene named Leroy that Im especially excited to tell you about. He has huge talents and thats even an understatement. I expect that report to land in a few days, but taking my own pictures means a bit of a clearance process.
I know the watermarks are annoying. I hate them, you hate them, so I made them as unintrusive as possible. If I see a bunch of sites take these images without credit and a linkback future pictures will have bigger watermarks. So, dont be a dick. I dont care if you use the image, just give a link back here, will ya? Dont ruin it for everybody.
More soon! This is going to be a crazy couple of months! Oh, and Happy Birthday to Peter Jackson! Thanks for letting me join the circus for a spell, sir!

Heres a story from yesterdays LA Times talking a little about it. It mentions in there how a few previews of it months ago some audience members found the image a little "jarring". Like i said, its going to some time for alot of movie goers to get used to.
Proponents of the higher frame rate say it packs the screen with far more visual information and makes the moving image super-sharp and detailed. But patrons accustomed to the softer look of traditional film may have to adjust to the higher frame rate.
At a 10-minute preview that Jackson shared at the trade show CinemaCon in April, some attendees found the images jarringly hyper-realistic and too unlike a traditional film.
Warner executives said that was unfair because it was rough footage that had not been color corrected.
"It really wasn't representative of what it looks like today," Fellman said. "I think it will have a big impact on the industry."

Peter Jackson commented on that a bit, and in effect said, "What they saw was an unfinished take, the final product is outstanding."

Historical Note
South African diplomat Desmond Willson and Katherine Anne Porter became acquainted in Washington, DC, before June 1961, when they began exchanging letters and cards. Porter wrote to Willson from the Yankee Clipper Inn in Rockport, MA, where she had withdrawn to complete her novel Ship of Fools, from her residences in Washington, DC, and from Paris, Rome, and Naples, where she had travelled after the novel's publication in 1962. Apparently Porter and Willson enjoyed social engagements in Washington, DC, with their mutual friends Jordan Pecile and Barbara Thompson, later Barbara Thompson Mueenuddin. Barbara Thompson's interview with Porter was published in the Winter-Spring 1963 issue of the Paris Review. Daniyal Mueenuddin, Barbara Thompson Mueenuddin's second son, was one of Porters godchildren.
In the correspondence in the Desmond Wilson Papers, Porter wrote of her work on and the publication of Ship of Fools, their mutual friends Barbara Thompson Mueenuddin and Jordan Pecile, her travels in France and Italy, national and world affairs, and her health. During the time that Porter and Willson corresponded, he served as Cultural Attaché at the Embassy of South Africa, Washington, DC; at the South African Consulate-General in San Francisco, CA; as Head of the Audio Visual Division, Ministry of International Affairs, in Pretoria, South Africa; and Counsellor for the South African Permanent Mission in Geneva, Switzerland.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Desmond Willson papers consist of fifteen letters and cards Porter wrote to Desmond Willson between June 10, 1961, and December 15, 1967, eight clippings from newspapers and magazines published between November 25, 1956, and August 20, 1995, and a copy of a privately published holiday carol.
Custodial History and Acquisition Information
The Desmond Willson papers were acquired in September 1998. Trustee for Porter's literary estate, Barbara Thompson Mueenuddin Davis, donated the correspondence and other items Willson had received and collected to the University of Maryland Libraries with additional materials for Isabel Bayley's papers. Bayley served as Porter's literary trustee until 1993, when Davis succeeded her. Davis's note included with the Willson papers stated, "This is a collection of notes etc. sent to me by my old friend Desmond Willson, who was to have accompanied KAP to Pakistan in the early 60's."

Arena said he was pleased with LA's play. He didn't
seem upset with Rowe. Blamed the second goal on
Dunivant. Penedo will be gone to Panama after next
week's game so I would think he'll stick with Rowe.
It's hard to tell with Arena and keepers. Even back
when he was with DC he was fickle.

Bob, I was thinking the same thing while watching the NYC-NE
game: how is it possible that a team coached by Jay Heaps, of all
people, play such an awful defense?
However, I think there may be two things compounding it: (1) A
lot of the trouble came when the defense was pushing forward
and the defensive mids were not deep enough. I think that a lot
of those problems will go away when Nuyen is completely
healthy and they take better care of the ball, as I think the whole
thing is about the help from the midfielders. They would talk
about Alston losing his position, but he never had a mid coming
to cover his back when NYC were attacking. And (2), a huge part
of the merit may go to NYC. I really liked how they pressed in
midfield, with both Villa and Nemec being the first line of
defense and dropping back to help the pressure when needed.
Dunno, from what I have seen these two games, I think NYC will
not be the typical expansion team. They may even beat what
Seattle did their first season. Also liked Orlando the other day,
and they have won this week, which means that they may also be
a solid team already. However, from what I saw the other day I
think they may become one of those that do better away than
home. Good pressing defense and quick transition, but based on
defending pretty deep. Kind of a really old fashioned British
style. Not the best system at home, when you need to carry the
weight of the game, but pretty hard system to play against away.

I would probably add Saunders before Shuttleworth, at least in the near future, especially with Colorado next week. It is on the road though.
As far as todays game goes, I think the size of the pitch had something to do with the Revolution's defensive woes. Having a huge target man like Nemic is crucial on a small field. I didn't realize how well Villa could play in tight spaces either.
NYC will be tough at home this year due to that home field advantage. Also if they continue to play the way they did today, the crowds will come back and that will also help.

Good point, Bob. I liked Nemec's positioning and play with his back
to the goal, even if he was a bit clumsy with the ball a couple of
times. Classic tall forward. You are right, those are very useful in
small fields. Particularly when playing long balls.
Regarding Villa, the people who does not follow La Liga may be a
bit surprised with his skills. He is a scorer, but he can play as a very
technical wing mid. Really good both in the assist and moving the

surprised on the plus side. SEA, DCU, and ORL on
the minus side. I heard RNY have signed Chris
Armas and Dennis Hamlet as ass't coaches, which is
considered a positive move at least by Ives. The
Petke firing wasn't popular but I like Jessie

There sure is a lot of preseason info out there
this year. Does anybody remember the early MLS
years when there were only a couple of previews out
there? I particularly remember Jeff Bradley (Bob
B's brother). He was enthusiastic, a good writer,
and a really nice guy but he had a tin ear for
predictions. I posted a note on his preview one
year that he sucked and that was the last year he
did it. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings. I also
told Dave Dirr he was a horrible writer and that
was his last week. People can't take a little
criticism it seems.

Webb leads LSU in upset over Penn State
Baton Rouge, LA – Adrienne Webb led all scorers with a career-high 29 points as the sixth-seeded LSU Lady Tigers used a second-half surge to bring down the third-seeded Penn State Lady Lions, 71-66, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at the Maravich Center.
Webb shot 10-of-16 from the field and 7-of-9 from the free-throw line for LSU (22-11), which has advanced to the Sweet 16 to face off against California. Bianca Lutley added 18 points and six assists in the winning effort.
For PSU (26-6), Nikki Greene tallied 16 points and 16 rebounds, Alex Bentley scored 14 points, and Ariel Edwards came off the bench to net 13 points.
