Ticket #4986 (new task)
Create a 'Deliverables' page / SOP listing exactly what images, torrent files, signatures, checksums etc should be provided with (pre)-releases

Going through the F16 QA retrospective, there's this series of linked points from Andre Robatino:
"robatino - Alpha and Beta torrents often have unsigned checksum files - this just happened with 16 Alpha. It also happened during F13 and F14 - see http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-April/090106.html for F13 Beta, and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_activity.cgi?id=638738 for F14 Alpha and Beta. When it's pointed out, we're told that it's not feasible to change them once people have started downloading, but if this is true, there needs to be better checking (at least as much as for mirror content, which can be changed) to make sure the torrents are correct before being posted. Filed https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/237 and https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4906 . No response from releng as of yet. Unless QA is given access prior to public posting, it is powerless to prevent this. robatino - Also, it's possible that the checksum files can be signed more than once. There are two versions of the signed checksum files for F15, one on the torrents (the original ones) and a different one on the mirrors. See http://robatino.fedorapeople.org/checksums/15-Final/ for the two versions - for example, Fedora-15-i386-CHECKSUM.orig and Fedora-15-i386-CHECKSUM. While not nearly as serious as the above issue (since the checksums are the same and both signatures are good), it could be confusing. "
A quick mail discussion prompted the suggestion from Andre that the best way to cover all these issues would be for there to be a Deliverables wiki page / SOP which clearly lists all the 'bits' that should be delivered for each image drop - Alpha, Beta, Final, TC and RC. This would provide a simple reference for whoever's doing the build to make sure everything has been provided.
It would make most sense for this to live in releng's wiki space, I think, so filing against releng trac, but a QA person could certainly take care of creating the page in theory, I think.
We should have this in place prior to F17 Alpha TC1.

PGM has begun publishing release deliverables [1] but the list that's maintained is not kept up to date and does not cover the concerns outlined here. Because the list is not well maintained it's not really used by many stakeholders. We need to identify an owner for this list and enable that owner to keep it updated in a sane way. The list should be systematically queryable by release and QE tooling at least so we can validate expectations. A likely candidate for storing this data is PDC.

Jan, as noted above, we do have a doc but it's not updated and not enforced as part of the release process which means we have no canonical source of what we're shipping for a release. We'd like for this to be a gating list with a defined process around it. Ideally this would be systematically queryable in a tool like PDC eventually.

I brought this topic to the FESCo [1] for their last meeting [2]. There was no decision made and the topic has been re-scheduled for the meeting on 2016-Apr-22 due to pending details from rel-eng team.

hah. this ticket amuses me greatly, since I've been going round for the last week saying what a dumb idea it was to keep this list in a wiki page. guess which idiot's dumb idea it was. ;)
comment:11 Changed 10 months ago by jkurik
There was quite extensive discussion about this release deliverables list on FESCo meetings during F23 live cycle. The current format presented on [1] is the format FESCo finally agreed on. There was also agreement on the way how this list can be changed, which is via Change Process, so FESCo has full control on it. As far as I know the list [1] is currently up to date.
Using PDC instead of this wiki page will be IMO welcomed by many parties. I am going to point to this ticket during the FESCo meeting on 2016-Apr-22, so we can decide how we would like to track this.

We do have some discussion ongoing around this in pungi tickets, ref. https://pagure.io/pungi/issue/249 and https://pagure.io/pungi/pull-request/269 .
comment:13 Changed 10 months ago by acarter
I understand from DGilmore that there are in fact things that we're shipping that aren't on that list (see today's flurry around Live USB amongst others). Jan, please just keep us updated on the discussion and if you want to propose how we should handle this in the future, I think we'd all be on board to make it happen :)
comment:14 Changed 10 months ago by ralph
On PDC, two things:
- PDC stores the list of things that we actually did produce (by way of importing the metadata output from pungi).
- When we first started looking at it, we were thinking about also storing the list of things we *should* produce in a compose as well (which would meet the criteria for this ticket). While the PDC authors were originally receptive to that idea, it seems there is concern out there that the scope of PDC is growing too large and so pushing for an expansion to handle this case may meet with opposition from upstream.
Another idea: since we keep our pungi config public here https://pagure.io/pungi-fedora/raw/master/f/fedora.conf and since it actually defines what we will try to produce, we could build separate tooling around it that reads it in and parses it to produce a list of expected outputs. (And we could go back in the git history to figure out what we intended to produce at some date in the past.)
comment:15 Changed 10 months ago by ausil
pungi does not actually have everything. it does not define where the content ships, or what is to be shipped as a torrent etc. we need to have both the what we build and the where and how we ship it.

The list of Release blocking deliverables [1] has been updated to my best knowledge what deliverables are requested for F24. Tickets [2][3] were created or emails sent[4][5][6] to WGs requesting review of the list.
I would appreciate if anyone from Release Engineering can do review of the page as well and let me know in case there will be any discrepancies.

I Have Windows 7 and would like to be able to bring up the option "Open with" at any time. Right-clicking doesn't always work. I would like to be able to choose what program I use to open something up.
Windows operating systems generally ask you with which program you would like to open a particular file, unless the file is… Continue reading

Zombie Children (Wicked Little Things)
The Spooky Kids: A group of marauding zombie ankle-biters who were buried alive in a mining disaster, and now roam the woods looking for humans to spook. And wouldn't you just know it? They've found some…
If They Were Adults: Sadly, zombies don't seem to grow out of their brain-munching tendencies, so we'd imagine they'd still be trouble.
Miles & Flora (The Innocents)
The Spooky Kids: The unsettling charges of Debra Kerr's governess, who proceed to make her life something of a misery. Never work with children, Debra. Never.
If They Were Adults: They could look after themselves. But then who would they have to torment?
Robbie (Paranormal Activity 4)
The Spooky Kid: The next-door neighbour to Alex and Wyatt, who isn't exactly happy go lucky at the best of times, and is downright unnerving at others. Perhaps they should have a word with his mother…
If They Were An Adult: He'd have to get a haircut for a start. No grown man can successfully pull off the bowl cut.
Little Vampire (30 Days Of Night)
The Spooky Kid: A pint-sized blood-sucker, found by our heroes making a bit of a mess in a convenience store. Back away…
If They Were An Adult: You wouldn't think twice before plunging a stake through her heart. As it is, you'd probably weigh it up for a second or two before pressing on with the necessaries…
Sharon (Silent Hill)
The Spooky Kid: A troubled and seemingly possessed child who can't seem to resist wandering off into the mist at the first opportunity. It'll end in trouble…
If They Were An Adult: She'd at least be sensible enough to stick to well-lit areas, saving her mum a few frayed nerves.
Niles (The Other)
The Spooky Kid: One of a pair of twins, Niles is taught how to harness his psychic abilities by his grandmother. Needless to say, the silly old bat should have left well alone…
If They Were An Adult: Adults know to just smile and nod when an aged relative attempts to tell them something. He'd have been fine.
Melissa (Kill, Baby, Kill)
The Spooky Kid: A vengeful spirit, Melissa is out to exact revenge upon all the inhabitants of a small village who were responsible for her death. Understandable, if a little full-on.
If They Were An Adult: She might not be such a problem, since her power is derived from her mother's grief. If her mother were six feet under, then problem solved!
Rhoda Penmark (The Bad Seed)
The Spooky Kid: A bratty little kid who doesn't take kindly to not getting her own way. "Why should I feel sorry?" she remarks regarding a boy she's killed. " It was Claude Daigle got drowned, not me."
If They Were An Adult: She'd be pitching a tantrum on The X-Factor before being dubbed "Britain's Most Hated Woman" by The Sun .
Tom Riddle (Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince)
The Spooky Kid: A talented but cruel wizard, who amuses himself by torturing his fellow orphans and turns his nose up at authority, unless it suits his purpose to feign obedience. We smell trouble.
If They Were An Adult: They might just turn into the embodiment of evil. Stranger things have happened.
Attic Boy (REC)
The Spooky Kid: The attic-dwelling blighter who ushers in the end credits with a sudden and terrifying appearance out of the shadows. AARGH!
If They Were An Adult: He'd have a little more trouble concealing himself in the shadows, and we might not have had that heart attack.
Sadako (Ring)
The Spooky Kid: The lost daughter of renowned psychic Shizuko Yamamura, who comes lurching out of the television when the forbidden videotape is played. Could do with a haircut.
If They Were An Adult: An adult woman crawling out of a well and then flopping out of a television set… yes, she'd still be utterly terrifying.
Charlie (Firestarter)
The Spooky Kid: Dinky Drew Barrymore might have been cute, but she was also a firestarter… a twisted firestarter. She doesn't mean to be bad, but she's got one hell of a temper…
If They Were An Adult: She could learn to rein in her powers and use them for good, superhero style!
Eli (Let The Right One In)
The Spooky Kid: A pocket-sized vampire who isn't bad at heart, but needs to feed to survive… cue severed arteries left and right.
If They Were An Adult: She'd be glammed up and living somewhere in the Deep South. Bon Temps, you say?
Jamie (The Pit)
The Spooky Kid: A disturbed twelve-year-old whose idea of a practical joke is sending pictures of naked women to his teachers. Not the ideal candidate to discover a pit full of man-eating beasties, then. Especially when there are so many people he doesn't like.
If They Were An Adult: To be honest, there's nothing to suggest he'd behave any differently with a few more years under his belt. Troubled fellow.
Aidan Kellar (The Ring)
The Spooky Kid: The disconcertingly morose child of Naomi Watts' protagonist, who grows even more down in the mouth after watching the fateful videotape.
If They Were An Adult: Perhaps he'd have listened to mother and left well alone. Bloody kids and their endless TV…
Kyra Collins (The Sixth Sense)
The Spooky Kid: Poor old Kyra doesn't mean to be terrifying, but since she appears out of nowhere and begins vomiting, it's kind of an occupational hazard. She's a ghost you see, and was poisoned by her step-mother… she's not had much luck really, has she?
If They Were An Adult: She'd still be scary, but she'd look as Mischa Barton does now… scary then, but hot.
Henry Evans (The Good Son)
The Spooky Kid: Behind his goody-two-shoes act, Henry is a psychological bully, who torments his cousin with death threats while painting him out to be the nutcase to his parents. Played by Macaulay Culkin for added creep value.
If They Were An Adult: He'd be sneaking into women's changing rooms in search of knickers to sniff. He looks the type.
Nicholas and Anne (The Others)
The Spooky Kids: The pallid, wheezy children of Nicole Kidman's chilly matriarch, who lurk around in the shadows like a pair of ghosts. So to speak…
If They Were Adults: They'd probably feel a bit cooped up in that house. Now that we mention it, just how old are they?
Tomas (The Orphanage)
The Spooky Kid: "Tomas", the mask-wearing kid who proceeds to freak the crap out of Belen Rueda. Only too late (SPOILERS AHEAD) does she realise that "Tomas" was actually her son, Simon.
If They Were An Adult: He probably wouldn't be titting about with a creepy old mask in the first place, thus averting the whole unhappy episode.
Gage Creed (Pet Sematary)
The Spooky Kid: Poor little Gage, who gets splattered by a lorry, buried on ancient Indian land and is reincarnated as a murderous fiend. What a journey!
If They Were An Adult: His Dad would probably have been too frail to embark upon the whole exhumation scheme…
Sean (Birth)
The Spooky Kid: A 14-year-old boy who turns up on Nicole Kidman's doorstep and announces that he's the reincarnation of her dead husband. As you do…
If They Were An Adult: Seeing as that trick got him into Kidman's bathtub as a teenage boy, we can only assume he'd still be using it on other vulnerable beauties…
Island Children (Who Can Kill A Child?)
The Spooky Kid: The killer inhabitants of a mysterious island who terrorise a pair of holidaying Brits. An argument for a staycation if ever there was one.
If They Were Adults: It would be less a horror film and more a BNP public service announcement.
Adam Duncan (Godsend)
The Spooky Kid: Cameron Bright turns in another creepy performance as the starey-eyed clone of Greg Kinnear's dead son. What could go wrong with that set-up?
If They Were An Adult: The cloning process would probably be more complex, making the end product even dodgier. If that's possible.
Sam (Trick R Treat)
The Spooky Kid: A big fan of Halloween, Sam takes the old trick or treat thing a bit far, stabbing one luckless punter to death with a half-eaten lollypop. He's a menace!
If They Were An Adult: He'd probably use a knife instead. Not as tasty but twice as effective.
Brett (Eden Lake)
The Spooky Kid: Not so much spooky as downright terrifying, Brett is the poster-boy for Broken Britain. One minute he's pissing you off with his music, the next he's jamming a knife in your gut. We blame violent videogames.
If They Were An Adult: He'd have five more little Bretts running wild and getting the Daily Mail's knickers in a twist.
Tom (The Awakening)
The Spooky Kid: Shy little Tom might seem like a loveably precocious tyke, but there's more to him than meets the eye. A bit over-familiar with adults for our liking, too…
If They Were An Adult: His constant questions and wheedling affection would be anything but charming.
Anthony Fremont (The Twilight Zone: The Movie)
The Spooky Kid: A terrifyingly powerful child with the ability to warp reality in accordance with his every whim. He goes to bed when he likes…
If They Were An Adult: He might be a little more reasonable, but children tend to fly off the handle at the slightest provocation…
Alice (Alice Sweet Alice)
The Spooky Kid: Alice loves nothing better than tormenting her younger sibling, until eventually she goes too far and kills her. And then covers it up. And then kills anyone who looks like rumbling her. Hmmm…
If They Were An Adult: She probably wouldn't get away with it as a grown-up. One of the benefits of a youth… people trust you!
Santi (The Devils Backbone)
The Spooky Kid: The ghostly Santi, a former resident of the orphanage he now haunts. Frightening at first, but nice enough when you get to know him…
If They Were An Adult: An unidentified adult skulking around an orphanage would be unsettling for a whole different host of reasons.
Barto (The Unborn)
The Spooky Kid: Jaunty by name but not so jaunty by nature, Barto is actually a Dibbuk, an evil spirit capable of possessing the bodies of the living and the dead. Nasty piece of work.
If They Were An Adult: Pallid complexion, bleary eyes… you'd probably just take him for a chronic boozer.
Emily (Hide And Seek)
The Spooky Kid: Understandably traumatised by her mum's suicide, Emily goes even further off the rails when she starts jabbering on about the malicious "Charlie". Time for the men in white coats…
If They Were An Adult: She'd be sat at the back of the bus, shouting her own name and periodically wetting herself.
Isaac (Children Of The Corn)
The Spooky Kid: The pint-sized cult leader who rallies a mob of local kids and turns them against the town's hapless adults. The little shit.
If They Were An Adult: He'd have cleaned up his act and focused his energies on a less destructive hobby. Scientology, perhaps…
Walter (Changeling)
The Spooky Kid: The unnervingly self-possessed imposter professing to be the missing son of Christine Collins. Needless to say, he's full of it…
If They Were An Adult: He'd be cold-calling the elderly, badgering them about fictional PPI claims.
Claudia (Interview With The Vampire)
The Spooky Kid: A dying woman transposed into the body of a child, stuck forever in puberty but maintaining all the thoughts, feelings and urges of her adult self. Troubling.
If They Were An Adult: Her role in the "family" would be a hell of a lot less disturbing.
Cole Sear (The Sixth Sense)
The Spooky Kid: Cole might not be very frightening himself, but since he spends his days knocking about with the ghosts of the deceased, we'd say he qualifies as spooky. Big, sad eyes as well.
If They Were An Adult: Google a picture of Haley Joel Osment today if you really want a scare.
Cid (Looper)
The Spooky Kid: The snaggle-toothed, telekinetic son of Emily Blunt's badass farm girl. Weirdly adult, despite being about five, you wouldn't like him when he's angry…
If They Were An Adult: Depending on whether anyone has meddled with his timeline or not, he's only going to get more frightening. Believe us…
Esther (Orphan)
The Spooky Kid: A nine-year-old Russian girl who's weirdly well-informed on sexual matters and, er, kills people. Creepy enough for you?
If They Were An Adult: That's the thing… she is. A 33-year-old adult woman. Jesus…
David Zellaby (Village Of The Damned)
The Spooky Kid: The Hitler Youth-esque kid at the heart of the alien-influenced crop of youngsters terrorising the titular village. Bad'uns, the lot of them.
If They Were An Adult: He'd dress in a suit, tie and jumper combo… oh, wait.
Karen Cooper (Night Of The Living Dead)
The Spooky Kid: An angelic little zombie who looks as though butter wouldn't melt… sort of.
If They Were An Adult: She probably wouldn't take quite so much glee in doing for her parents. You tend to grow out of that kind of thing once you pass the teenage years…
The Baby (Its Alive)
The Spooky Kid: A monstrously deformed baby (the result of some dodgy prescription drugs) that kills when it gets scared. And it scares mighty easy…
If They Were An Adult: Attack of the killer man! Doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?
Toshio (Ju-On: The Grudge)
The Spooky Kid: Ghost boy Toshio, who appears at just the right moment to scare the pants off whoever's in the general vicinity. What a pest.
If They Were An Adult: The eyeshadow might detract from his scariness somewhat. On a grown man, it just looks comical.
Joshua Cairn (Joshua)
The Spooky Kid: A young fogey of the worst variety, when Joshua isn't pushing elderly relatives down the stairs, he's dressing like a middle-aged man on his way to the House of Commons. Regrettable behaviour across the board.
If They Were An Adult: He'd be in the Conservative party. For sure.
The Brood (The Brood)
The Spooky Kids: The murderous offspring of Nola Carveth, who turn their rage on anyone unfortunate enough to displease their mother. The kindergarten scene is one that lingers particularly long in the mind…
If They Were Adults: God knows how devastating they would be. The kids can do enough damage as it is!
Ralphie Glick (Salems Lot)
The Spooky Kid: Poor little Ralphie gets turned into a vampire very early in the movie, and then scares seven shades out of his brother by floating outside his window. Yikes!
If They Were An Adult: The aforementioned scene wouldn't be quite so scary, somehow.
There something about how his little body fits perfectly into the window frame…
The Twins (The Shining)
The Spooky Kid: The twin girls that Danny sees standing in one of the Overlook's labyrinthine corridors… and then lying hacked up on the floor.
If They Were Adults: They'd obviously have escaped the hotel and wouldn't have met a sticky end, courtesy of a well-aimed axe. They might have started dressing individually, too.
Wednesday Addams (The Addams Family)
The Spooky Kid: The oddly-named eldest of the Addams offspring, who enjoys nothing better than trying to off her tubby younger sibling, Pugsley.
If They Were An Adult: If Morticia is anything to go by, she'd still be dressing in black, but she'd probably have outgrown the attempted fratricide. Probably.
Lonnie (Deliverance)
The Spooky Kid: The banjo-playing oddball at the beginning of the movie. There's charmingly precocious and then there's downright weird…
If They Were An Adult: We've seen what his ilk get up to once they outgrow musical instruments. Squeal, piggie…
Danny Torrance (The Shining)
The Spooky Kid: Yeah we know he's the member of the Torrance family we're supposed to be rooting for, but he's still creepy as hell! Redrum redrum REDRUM!
If They Were An Adult: He'd probably be a bit big for that tricycle, which would be something of a blessing…
Regan MacNeil (The Exorcist)
The Spooky Kid: Poor old Regan plays host to a powerful demon that has her getting up to all sorts of antics that no well-brought-up girl would ever dream of performing…
If They Were An Adult: The crucifix scene would be marginally less troubling. Marginally…
Damien Thorn (The Omen)
The Spooky Kid: The mop-topped son of Satan himself, who just can't help himself when there's an opportunity for a spot of murder. The little scamp.
If They Were An Adult: Presumably he'd grow steadily more powerful, and would graduate beyond pushing women over banisters into full-on genocide.

Oh the places I'll go...
... to me. Europeans, man. Then I walked back along the Seine to the islands again with a plan to head over to the 4th to look for some stationery stores, but everything was closed because it was Sunday. Sex shops, open on Sunday, stationery stores, closed. Ah, Paris. Anyway, there were flea markets everywhere and the streets were now car-less so packed with pedestrians and cyclists instead. By now I'd been walking for roughly 9 hours so was tired and hungry so ...
Notre Dame
We were excited to see Notre dame and the gargoyles or as Toby called them gargoloyals. We caught the metro to Maubert station and could immediately see Notre Dame. We viewed the inside of the church and the kids did well to obey the silence signs. After that we searched for the steps to climb to the top to see the church bells. We found a playground and kids had a nice play whilst Andy found a line at the steps forming. So we went and lined up ...
Day 4 - arrived in Paris and Eiffel Tower at night
In the morning Sireesha and I headed out for a drive(and talk:) ) around Reading and the adjoining town called Caversham. It was nice to be able to spend some time together. We had Medu Vadas for breakfast. They were amazing! Soon it was time to leave, we rode the train to Paddington, then switched trains there for Kings Cross for the international train into Paris. This was our first time ...
A Tourist Romp in Paris
... powers rebuilt the insides of this beautiful building and now it is a great place to protest your Paris parking tickets .
With a short walk we were at the Place des Vosges. This is a beautiful square with fountains, massive trees and places to sit and rest your feet. Inaugurated in 1612 with the wedding of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria they had a place for a great wedding ...
The Tour Begins... Off to France
... on being social. We then went on a bus drive around the city, which was amazing by night. Saw the big sights - the louvre, Eiffel Tower, arc de triomphe. We survived the champs ellysee ( thank god I was in a bus). I also really enjoyed seeing the less known buildings - the opera house, the tomb of Napoleon and the military building that still has bullet holes in the front walls from WWII. Next challenge: try and see as much of Paris as my body will allow me to ...

Still Time to Comment on Washington Wolf Plan
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will continue to accept public comments for another month on a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for a state wolf conservation and management plan.
Released Oct. 5, the draft plan is the preferred alternative among four presented in a draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The DEIS was prepared under requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and is available on the WDFW website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildlife/management/gray_wolf/ . Desk copies of the DEIS also are available at WDFW regional offices and public libraries. Those unable to view or download the DEIS from WDFW's website can request paper or compact-disc copies by calling (360) 902-2515.
Comments can be submitted through 5 p.m., Friday, Jan. 8, electronically at http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildlife/management/gray_wolf/mgmt_plan.html , by FAX to (360) 902-2946, or by U.S. Mail to: WDFW SEPA Desk, 600 Capitol Way N. Olympia, WA 98501-1091.
Meanwhile, audio files of comments made at public meetings on the DEIS and plan are available on the WDFW website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildlife/management/gray_wolf/meeting_schedule.html . Twelve public review meetings were held in October and November, and were attended by a total of 1,157 people.
The draft plan has been under development by WDFW staff since early 2007, with the help of a 17-member citizen advisory group. The draft plan has been reviewed by wolf experts and other scientists and is currently undergoing a blind academic peer review. Following the public and scientific review process, a final wolf conservation and management plan will be prepared for presentation to the Fish and Wildlife Commission for consideration late next year.
There are no federal or state plans to reintroduce wolves into Washington.
The gray wolf (Canis lupus) was removed from the state by the 1930s through hunting and trapping programs, and remains federally protected under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the western two-thirds of Washington, and throughout Washington under state law (RCW77.15.120). Washington's first breeding wolf pack in at least 70 years was found in western Okanogan County in July 2008, and a second breeding pack was confirmed in Pend Oreille County last July.

(Updated on 11/21/16 at 3:50 p.m.) The Arlington School Board discussed its budget guidance for 2018 at its meeting Tuesday. Included in the discussion: plans to move the Arlington Public Schools administrative offices.
Currently, top APS administrators have offices at the Education Center at 1426 N. Quincy Street. But the school system is considering signing a lease that would move APS offices from the Education Center and elsewhere to the Syphax Education Center at 2110 Washington Blvd.
That would free up classroom space for overcrowded Washington-Lee High School or, potentially, for a countywide high school program.
"The Education Center property would become available to develop into more classroom space for high school students once APS offices are relocated after Jan. 1, 2018," said a press release.
"While the Ed Center property will be considered for additional high school seats, the School Board has not made any decision regarding how this space will be used as secondary seats, but the plan does not automatically add capacity to Washington-Lee," said APS spokesman Frank Bellavia. "The Board will have a conversation with the community about whether it will be a countywide high school program, what type of program, and how to use this additional space for secondary seats in the future."
The overall FY 2018 budget direction calls for pay raises, "whole child" initiatives and cost savings.
"The proposed budget direction prioritizes increased compensation for staff; supports continued investment in initiatives to meet the needs of the whole child and provide 21st century learning opportunities; provides full staffing for growing enrollment; and assumes full funding from the County's transfer to pay for critical needs of the school division," said the press release. "Additionally, the Board's budget direction includes efforts to identify cost savings, options for increased fees, and opportunities to use closeout funding to pay for one-time expenses."
The School Board, meanwhile, is thanking Arlington voters for approving a $139 million school bond measure that will fund school construction necessary to keep up with increasing school enrollment.
From Arlington Public Schools:
Approximately 79.5 percent of voters supported the bond, which will be dedicated to addressing growing capacity needs throughout Arlington County.
"Thank you to the entire community. We have an incredible community that really supports our schools," said School Board Chair Nancy Van Doren. "Here in Arlington we are proud to enjoy continued support from the community that is clearly committed to our schools."
She continued, "One demonstration of this commitment is the strong voter approval of our 2016 School Bond, which passed with just under 80% of the vote. The success of our Bond campaign this year was due in large part to our two Bond Co-Chairs, Monique O'Grady and Peter Fallon. We owe a big thank you to Monique and Peter for their efforts." The allocation of the $138.8 million will fund the following projects:
- $26,030,000 will be used as the majority funding to build an addition at the Stratford building to add 339 seats.
- $78,400,000 will be used as the majority funding for construction of the new school at the Wilson site to add an estimated 775 seats.
- $12,000,000 will be used to renovate the Career Center/Arlington Tech to add 300 seats.
- $10,000,000 will be used for planning and design to build an additional 1,300 secondary seats [location(s) TBD].
- $12,400,000 will be used for HVAC, roofing, and other infrastructure improvement projects at existing APS buildings.
Information on the 2016 school bond and all of the projects planned in the 2017-26 APS Capital Improvement Plan is available online.

Record Absentee Voting Expected — The total number of absentee ballots cast in Arlington is expected to reach 43,000 this year, smashing the county's previous record of 35,000 in 2008. Arlington's elections office hired "considerable extra staff" this year to meet voter demand. [Arlington County]
Va. Voter Registration Extended — To make up for a system failure before the Virginia's voter registration deadline, a federal judge has ordered registration be extended through midnight tonight. [Politico]
Budget Guidance Anticipates Gap — County officials are projecting a $5.4 million funding gap for Arlington's FY 2018 budget. That assumes a 2 percent growth in revenue, a 2.9 percent growth in expenditures, service levels remaining unchanged and the tax rate remaining at $0.991 per $100, which the county notes is the lowest rate in Northern Virginia.

(Updated at 12:35 p.m.) Arlington County has $17.8 million left over from its Fiscal Year 2016 budget, after a revenue split with Arlington Public Schools and contributions to reserve funds.
The County Board tonight (Tuesday) is expected to discuss what to do with the extra cash as part of its annual budget close-out process, which has previously been criticized for a lack of public input.
The public will have a month to weigh in on the draft recommendations before a final vote in November.
The County Manager's budget close-out recommendations were posted online Monday morning. Among the recommendations:
- $0.95 million for police equipment, replacement of emergency generators and other "critical life safety needs."
- $2.5 million for land acquisition and costs associated with temporary facilities for Fire Station 8 and Fire Station 10.
- $1.0 million for expanding the use of a key rainy-day reserve fund to include "unanticipated expenditure requirements, such as weather events."
- $2.1 million for rent subsidies that benefit low income, elderly and disabled residents.
- $7.0 million for the county's Affordable Housing Investment Fund, which will provide much of the $9.4 million in one-time funding for the fund budgeted for FY 2017.
- $1.7 million for various capital projects and maintenance.
- $1.0 million for "unforeseen needs that arise during the current fiscal year."
- $1.6 million reserved for future allocations, to be considered as part of the FY 2018 budget process.
Overall county revenue was above projections for FY 2016. (See partial table, above.) The $17.8 million in close-out funding is a result of the extra revenue and conservative budgeting, county officials say, but it's a lower percentage of the General Fund budget — 2.3 percent — than previous years.
"While this amount is significant in dollar terms, it is the lowest as a percent of total budget in recent years, reflecting increased expenditure levels due to the lifting of the hiring slowdown and the significant snow events of this past winter," staff wrote.
The close-out allocations are intended to closely align with existing County Board policies and priorities.
It "expands on the approach taken last year where allocations of available funding are
focused on a few major categories of priorities consistent with County Board policies" and "moves away from the occasional past practice of providing initial funding for new
programs via close-out," county staff wrote.
While some critics have suggested that the county deliberately over-budgets so that it can have a "slush fund" left over at the end of the year, county staff argue that its conservative budgeting is necessary to keep Arlington's top-notch bond rating and smooth out budgetary "bumps" throughout the year.
"It is important to note that good financial management and retention of the triple-AAA bond ratings require that the County ends each year with a surplus (revenues in excess of projections or expenditures less than budget)," said the staff report. "The County's historically conservative budgeting practices have allowed us to accommodate unanticipated events (snow, state / federal budget cuts) without having to go back to the County Board and community for mid-year service reductions and budget cuts."
Board to Consider Arts Grants — The Arlington County Board on Saturday is set to consider its latest round of annual grants to local arts organizations. Among the 18 organizations being allocated a portion of the $215,810 in financial support for the arts are the Arlington Arts Center ($20,547), Bowen McCauley Dance ($27,237), Encore Stage and Studio ($24,715) and Washington Shakespeare Company ($24,247).

ACFD Says Thanks for Fire Staffing — The Arlington County Fire Department thanked residents yesterday for fully funding safe fire truck staffing levels and an additional peak-time medic unit with the county's latest Fiscal Year 2017 budget. The new budget took effect July 1. [Twitter]
Landscapers Volunteer at Arlington National — A group of some 400 professional landscapers from around the country volunteered their time at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday to help spruce up the grounds. The annual event is organized by the National Association of Landscape Professionals. [WTOP]
Extended Construction Hours for Ballston Project — The County Board will consider a proposal by Marymount University and developer the Shooshan Company to temporarily extend the construction hours at the "Blue Goose" project in Ballston. The proposal would extend construction hours to 1:30 a.m. for eight weeks, to allow nighttime deliveries of construction materials that would otherwise require lane closures on Glebe Road and Fairfax Drive during the day. [InsideNova]
Lane Closures on GW Parkway — Expect single lane closures on the northbound GW Parkway, 2.5 miles north of Key Bridge, due to repair work on a stone wall along the Parkway. The closures will be in place from 8 p.m.-5 a.m. through Wednesday. [Patch]
More money for teachers, staff, relocatable classrooms, maintenance needs and student laptops and iPads.
Those are some of the highlights from the $582 million Fiscal Year 2017 budget adopted by the Arlington School Board on Thursday night.
The budget adjusted Superintendent Dr. Patrick Murphy's proposed budget to include about $10 million in compensation increases, including:
- A step increase for all eligible employees ($7.6 million)
- An increase of 1.75% for eligible employees at the top of the salary scale or on a longevity step ($2.4 million)
- An increase in the minimum wage to $14.50 per hour ($150,000)
- An increase in School Board salaries ($14,760)
- Implementation of a parental leave benefit of two weeks of paid leave ($0.5 million)
- An increase in the Live Where You Work program to provide additional grants as well as the implementation of rental assistance grants (similar to the County's program) at a cost of $68,700
The full proposed budget is available online, as is a budget presentation from Thursday's School Board meeting.
Arlington Public Schools issued the following press release about the budget's adoption.
The Arlington School Board adopted its FY 2017 final budget at last night's meeting. The approved budget totals $581,941,859 which includes an additional $2,042,993 in ongoing County funds and an additional $1,336,437 from the Future Budget Years Reserve. The additional County and Future Budget Years Reserve funds closed the funding gap to ensure a balanced budget was adopted.
"We worked closely as a Board with our staff and advocated to our County colleagues to make certain that APS has the funding that is necessary to meet the needs of our growing school division," stated School Board Chair Dr. Emma Violand-Sanchez. "The Board has also invested in additional areas that will meet the instructional needs of our students, support the whole child and provide the necessary staff to ensure all students can succeed."
The School Board has designated that all of the additional funds be used to invest in instructional support, infrastructure, and staff needed to continue progress toward achieving strategic goals of the school division.
The School Board's adopted FY17 Budget also included staff compensation increases totaling $10.2 million, including a step increase for all eligible employees, an increase of 1.75% for eligible employees at the top of the salary scale or on longevity steps, and implementation of two weeks of paid parental leave.
"It is critical that APS offers competitive staff compensation and benefits to ensure that we continue to retain and attract the most talented employees to work here," said Dr. Violand-Sanchez. "We are proud to provide, for the first time, two weeks of paid parental leave, to enhance our "Live Where You Work" assistance for our employees, and to raise the minimum wage to $14.50 an hour. Our APS educators are a crucial factor in our students' success."
The FY 2017 budget designates APS operating funds for July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017.
Arlington County says it spent $6.5 million on snow removal operations, equipment and supplies this winter.
That's nearly $4 million more than was spent the previous winter, when the county almost ran out of salt due to a succession of snow storms.
The total roadway snow removal expenditure — the figures quoted here do not include removing snow from bus shelters or sidewalks — for Fiscal Year 2015 was only $2.7 million, according to Arlington County. As of April 25, the FY 2016 bill was $6.5 million, about $5 million of which was associated with the cleanup from January's Snowzilla blizzard, as the county revealed last month.
Why was this year's bill so much higher? It's mostly attributable to equipment rental costs, we're told.
"The majority of this cost increase was associated with heavy contract equipment used during the January 22-29, 2016 blizzard," explained Mike Moon, Chief Operating Officer of Arlington's Dept. of Environmental Services.
"The amount of contract equipment deployed for this event far exceeded the requirements for the previous year and cost more than $4.0 million," Moon continued. "With more than two feet of snow, heavy contract equipment was needed for the effort, which included hauling snow in our commercial corridors (Rosslyn, Ballston, Crystal City)."
Last month Arlington said that it can potentially recoup $2 million from federal disaster assistance funds, though the reimbursement process is a lengthy one.
Arlington County Manager Mark Schwartz said in March that the county is considering changes to its snow removal efforts in the wake of January's blizzard. Among the changes being considered is the purchase of additional heavy equipment and a new snow melter.

A slight tax rate cut and more money for schools and public safety were the three big items of note during last night's county budget approval.
The Board largely took the recommendations of County Manager Mark Schwartz, who presented his proposed budget in February, and voted unanimously for the new, $1.2 billion FY 2017 budget.
Under the budget, the property tax rate will be reduced by half a cent, to $0.991 for every $100 in assessed value, while the overall property tax burden on the average homeowner will increase from $7,640 to $7,829. The increase is due to a 2.8 percent rise in residential property assessments.
The budget provides more money for Arlington Public Schools than APS asked for, in stark contrast to the budget battle in Fairfax County.
APS, which is continuing to grapple with a burgeoning student population, will get a $466.9 million budget transfer from the county, a 3.3 percent increase over the previous fiscal year. That includes "$1.1 million in one-time and ongoing funding above the School Board's funding request."
The budget includes the biggest boost to Arlington's public safety funding in years, satisfying some long-sought requests.
The fire department will get eight additional firefighters to convert existing three-person fire units to the recommended safe staffing level of four per unit. ACFD will also get four additional firefighters to address persistent strains to medic unit staffing during peak times.
"A positive step forward for public safety," the Arlington Professional Firefighters and Paramedics Association said via Twitter.
The police department will get six new officers to help the department "meet its core mission responsibilities." The Sheriff's Office, which is facing a lawsuit over the alleged mistreatment of a deaf jail inmate, is getting five new positions to "improve safety and security at the Courthouse and the Detention Center, bolster its administrative staff and add a uniformed American with Disabilities Act coordinator."
Other notable budget items include:
- An additional $1.5 million for Arlington Economic Development, "to focus on lowering the commercial vacancy rate."
- $13.6 million for the county's Affordable Housing Investment Fund, which is $1.1 million more than proposed by the manager.
- "Modest funding to continue the County's open data efforts" and funding for livestreaming County Board work sessions and certain commission meetings.
- Merit pay increases for county employees.
- An increase in the living wage for county employees to $14.50 per hour, plus tuition reimbursement and continued funding for the Live Where You Work program.
"This is a good budget," Arlington County Board Chair Libby Garvey said in a statement. "Even as our population and school enrollment continue to grow, and our office vacancy rate remains high, the Board was able to put together a budget that preserves our community's values, gives schools more funding than they requested, and adds funding for public safety, economic development and other key services – with a slight decrease in the tax rate."
The budget is a complex document and the adopted budget is not yet online. Know of any other notable budget items not included here? Any quiet boosts or cuts in funding to a certain group or county department? Let us know in the comments.

While a school budget battle rages in Fairfax County, Arlington Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Patrick Murphy quietly rolled out his budget proposal last night.
Murphy's budget, which he presented at Thursday's School Board meeting, calls for a 3.9 percent spending increase over the 2015-2016 school budget. That compares to the 6 percent increase sought by Fairfax County Public Schools, which is also experience growing pains from increased student enrollment.
The proposed, $579.4 million budget includes $10.8 million to handle a projected 4.5 percent growth in student enrollment next school year, $9.6 million for a staff "step increase" in salary, an extra $3 million for infrastructure maintenance and $750,000 for the launch of Arlington Tech, a new environment-and-engineering-focused technical education program at the Arlington Career Center.
Also included: $4.4 million for various instructional and student support initiatives, like new social studies textbooks, an additional substance abuse counselor and three next elementary-level gifted program teachers.
Most of the budget — 59.3 percent — goes to teacher and staff salaries. Murphy said the school system found some "efficiencies" this year by changing some of its salary and health care options for new employees.
APS is expecting enrollment to grow by 1,135 students next school year — it currently stands just above 25,000 — and to exceed 30,000 by 2021. The money in Murphy's proposed budget would fund new teachers, new instructional materials, two new school buses and includes $2.6 million for new trailer classrooms, called "relocatables" by APS.
Class sizes would remain the same under the proposed budget. The cost per pupil will increase, from $18,616 this year to $18,893.
There is no increase in budget this year for the APS' 1:1 technology initiative, which provides laptops for each high school student and iPads for students at lower grade levels starting in second grade. The technology rollout will be complete in 2017. From FY 2018-2020, the instructional technology budget is expected to rise a cumulative $9.3 million, due mostly to enrollment growth and the renewal of APS' technology lease agreement.
Murphy's budget this year projects a $1.9 million deficit between revenues and expenditures, despite the use of $11.3 million in one-time reserve funds. Thanks to prudent budgeting, administrators said, APS currently has $65.2 million across its various reserve funds.
Debt service amounts to 8.1 percent of the proposed budget — $46.7 million. That's a slight, 3 percent increase over the current fiscal year. Administrators said that even though APS continues to take on new debt to build and renovate schools, it's benefiting from the retirement of older debt. APS will begin its capital improvement planning process in June. By law, debt service may not exceed 10 percent of the APS budget.
While declining to make direct comparisons to Fairfax County, Murphy thanked Arlington County leaders for being "committed to maintaining excellence" at APS and credited the county's diversified tax base — which is evenly split between commercial and residential — for helping to keep the school systems' finances stable.
"Here in Arlington we believe in public education," he said. "We have the support of the entire community."
In terms of budgeting, "the strength of our tax base here and how we manage our money is, I think, our biggest strength," said Murphy.
"We are very fortunate to live in a community that is committed to providing students with an exceptional public education," Murphy said in a statement. "As enrollment continues to rise significantly, we want to maintain the assets that have made us an outstanding school division, including dedicated and highly-qualified teachers with small class sizes, healthy and safe spaces that nurture student learning; addressing the individual needs of the whole child; and providing multiple pathways for students to achieve success."
Following public hearings, the School Board will reveal its proposed budget in April and adopt its final budget in May.
More Cars on Local Streets Due to I-66 Plans? — Will plans to toll I-66 inside the Beltway during rush hour send cars spilling onto local streets in Arlington? Not exactly.

The county is also accepting online budget feedback. [Arlington County]

Arlington's property tax rate can stay the same or can decrease, but won't increase this year.
The Arlington County Board on Tuesday night voted unanimously to advertise a property tax unchanged from last year — $0.996 per $100 of accessed value ($0.983 base tax plus a $0.013 stormwater district tax).
That means that Arlington's tax rate can only go down when the County Board approves a final Fiscal Year 2017 budget in April. County Manager Mark Schwartz is recommending a half cent reduction in the tax rate.
The average Arlington homeowner will still pay more in taxes than last year, thanks to a 3 percent rise in property assessments. Some county fees are also expected to rise, including a $36.24 per year increase in the household solid waste rate due to the implementation of year-round yard waste collection.
The county press release about the Board's action and the County Manager's budget, after the jump.
The Right Note is a weekly opinion column. The views and opinions expressed in the column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of ARLnow.com.
The Arlington County Board today heard a presentation from County Manager Mark Schwartz on his proposed budget. (As of Wednesday night, when this column was written, the details had not been posted online.) It will be the first look at where the Board may be headed for FY 2017. And if history is any guide, it will not be without at least a few minor controversies.
The County Board's guidance late last year directed staff to prepare a budget that did not raise tax rates. However, it has been the practice of the Board in the past to advertise a tax rate increase even with such guidance.
Some have argued that ongoing concern about the taxes we pay is overblown or somehow anti-government. But longtime homeowners here in Arlington know that our out-of-pocket property taxes over time have increased at a rate much faster than the rate of inflation.
Many ask, as they should, are they getting a good return on their tax dollar? Are potholes being adequately prioritized over gondolas? Is public safety adequately addressed before theater bailouts? And, what exactly is the plan to meet school enrollment increases?
Some may argue it prudent to advertise a higher rate and give the Board options in case revenue estimates fall dramatically over the next two months. The Board will almost certainly call it giving themselves "flexibility." Flexibility usually means a reason to ignore their guidance and spend more later.
Here are three reasons the Board should advertise a flat tax rate for fiscal year 2017 and entertain the possibility of a rate cut:
1. The Board just added a new audit function as a nod to fiscal responsibility. Why not give the new office a year to make recommendations on changes the Board can make before even entertaining a rate increase?
2. The average homeowner's taxes are going up even with a flat rate simply because of increased assessments.
3. If the last decade plus of history is any indication, revenues will comfortably exceed estimates – again. The "worst" thing that will happen is the Board will have a few million less on hand to spend at the end of the year in the closeout process.
(Updated at 2:00 p.m.) More money for cops and firefighters, for economic development and for county employees — that's the message from Arlington County Manager Mark Schwartz, who presented his proposed budget to the County Board this morning.
The $1.19 billion budget benefits from a 3 percent increase in overall projected revenues, allowing Schwartz to boost funding to a number of priorities and propose a slight tax rate decrease.
The budget adds $1.6 million for the addition of 19 public safety employees. Among them: eight firefighters/EMTs, six police patrol officers, and four uniformed Sheriff's positions.
The new firefighters will covert existing three-person fire units to the nationally-recommended staffing level of four per unit. The extra police officers will help reduce overtime and officer fatigue. The extra Sheriff's positions will address staffing levels at the county jail.
Schwartz allocates $1.5 million in additional one-time funding for Arlington Economic Development's efforts to bring down the county's office vacancy rate. Another $400,000 will be used on infrastructure maintenance like streetlight repair and residential concrete maintenance.
One of the biggest proposals in terms of cost is $6.3 million to increase merit-based pay for county employees, boost the minimum wage for permanent employees to $14.50 per hour, boost the county's Live-Where-You-Work program and replace grade and step plans with an "open range" salary plan.
Arlington Public Schools, which is dealing with a quickly-growing student population, will see an extra $13.2 million — for a total of $464.9 million — in Schwartz's budget.
The budget includes separate proposals for an extra $6.2 million in projected revenue than originally expected. Among them is a proposal to decrease the county property tax rate by half a cent, to $0.991 per $100 in assessed value, saving taxpayers about $3.5 million — though many will face higher overall taxes thanks to rising assessments and a rising solid waste rate. Other proposals include adding an extra medic unit for the fire department, to address peak demand, and $100,000 to expand the online streaming of public meetings.
While Schwartz did not highlight any specific cuts in the budget, he did propose a "systematic evaluation of programs and services, with the goal of reducing or eliminating programs and staffing, and proposals to eliminate duplication and inefficiencies."
Schwartz also expects to find hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings via a new early retirement package for county employees. In addition to saving money, the retirement incentives will serve to "renew the county workforce."
(About 20 percent of county employees are currently of the Millennial generation, but the county workforce is expected to be majority Millennial by 2020, officials say.)
Despite a so-so macroeconomic environment, Arlington County isn't being forced to make tough budgetary decisions this year, unlike our neighbors in Fairfax County. Schwartz credited Arlington's business community — which makes up about half of the tax base — for helping to smooth out economic bumps.
"We're benefitting from our 50-50 split between commercial and residential," he said.
Schwartz will formally present his budget at the County Board's upcoming February meeting. The Board will adopt a final Fiscal Year 2017 budget on April 17.
County Board Chair Libby Garvey said there's still work to be done on the budget, but overall she's pleased with the county's direction under Schwartz, who last month was selected to be the county's permanent County Manager.
"We're in a good place," Garvey said this morning. "We're changing how we do things a bit. It's exciting."

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
8:10 the Spirit is life. This phrase could refer to the renewed spirit of the believer, but it probably means the Holy Spirit. The passage itself emphasizes the Holy Spirit, His work, and His close association with Christ. The indwelling "Spirit of God" is called the "Spirit of Christ" (v. 9), and His indwelling is the means whereby "Christ is in you" (v. 10). Paul views this relationship as so close that he can even say "the Lord is the Spirit" (2 Cor. 3:17; cf. 1 Cor. 15:45). These passages do not take away the distinction between Christ and the Spirit as separate Persons of the Trinity. Rather, Paul teaches that Christ and the Holy Spirit work together in applying the resurrected life of Christ to the believer. The Spirit's presence now is a guarantee of the future bodily resurrection of the believer (v. 11).

Wildberries Marketplace
747 13th St (at G and H), Arcata, California, USA, 95521
Organic produce, deli, vitamins, and more. Also, there is a bakery inside called Ramone's, which has some vegan friendly cookies and date bars. Open daily.
Reviews (3)First Review by kindlizard
Quality Market - Edit
Good inventory; whole foods vibe. Clean, friendly, decent prices.
Good Market, but beware the bakery! - Edit
Wildberries Marketplace is excellent.
But, vegans must avoid the Ramone's Bakery within the store. Bad labels. No ingredient lists. No vegan desserts; and an ignorant employee gave me a false answer when I explicitly asked (no eggs, no dairy; lactose-intolerant), even though there wasn't any line of customers & she could have looked it up.
When I passed thru ultra vegan-friendly Arcata, I was surprised by the lack of vegan desserts. When I saw the Ramone's counter, I thought other places didn't try because they simply couldn't compete. When I went to Ramone's in Eureka, I found out the truth. The Eureka staff got defensive, rather than apologetic, perhaps fearing getting sued over any reactions from my lactose-intolerance.
Pros: good selection
Cons: bakery bad to vegans
I like this place - Edit
I stop here every time my way down the 101. Large clean w lots of options, juice bar, bakery and deli. Dig it.

Metrum Acoustics Octave - Page 19

So would it be better to get an AP2 to go with my Nuforce HDP and get the Octave or get the Octave first and run it with toslink and get the AP2 (or equivalent) later?

From my experience with the metrum quad I would say it is very dependant on the quality of the transport. It might be due to a basic digital input stage with no advanced jitter reduction mechanism.
Up until yesterday I was using it with the coax output of my squeezebox touch. Though I could really enjoy its qualities (transparency, natural sound, ...) on acoustic I found 2 bothering "flaws" on faster paced/more complex tracks:
- Definite lack of bass (both impact and extension)
- The mids were too forward as to make the whole presentation bloomy with some difficulties to follow quiet instruments in the background and on the sides.
I got the stello u3 yesterday and boy this now sounds wonderful! The aforementioned flaws disapeard and became new strength of my source. It definetely IS a night/day difference with this particular transport/DAC combo, period.
Now I might try the NFB-3.1 with the stello because the lack of bass was also bothering me when I was using it. To a level that made me prefer the usb powered fostex HP-A1 in that regard!
Edit: using the USB out of the SBT, of course.
Edited by Clemmaster - 10/20/12 at 6:18am
The AP2 improves the Octave but its not like the Octave is junk without it. On a budget, I'd probably just get the MF VLink192 and focus on a better amp later.

Yep, you nailed it. Laid back and fuzzy. The AP2 tightens up and clears up the overall sound. It was subtle at first, but as I got used to it and learned what to listen for, the differences are becoming more apparent. The bass has more impact and punch, the mids are more fluid, and the highs are cleaned up with a nice sparkle. The sounds goes from laid back and a bit sluggish, to having more impact and depth all the way across.
I planned on doing a full A/B of the Octave with the AP2 and EMU 1212m since my cables came in but even after casual listening it was pretty obvious that I have better things to do ;) Long story short, if you have the Octave please don't use the EMU :p Without a scope to verify I would guess that its jitter performance is wildly different from 20Hz-20KHz.

Indeed, I went from an emu-0404 to the metrum octave. Definately a wow-sensation :)
I went from the W4S DAC-2 to the Metrum also had a wow sensation :D If the Octave had more bottom end weight I'd stop. We'll see if the PWD2 I have coming gives the same result.
Its the only reason I change it up... can't have the same gear as you ;) Yep only reason :D

I'm looking for a upgrade from my DacMagic and was mostly set on the octave but some reports in this thread about it being highly dependant of the source i'm not so it would be a good idea and i'd be better of elsewhere.
My source is a Stello CD100 and my amp is a GS-1. So far im mostly using DT880, SR325 and looking to upgrade to a flagship can like the T1, not sure wich one it will be tbh.
Edited by Stitch - 10/29/12 at 7:31pm
Stello makes great transports. That said, the Octave is still miles ahead of the DacMagic which is bested by the W4S DAC-2 which got smashed by the Octave. The transport warning is more for people using spdif straight off their PC or Mac.
