Ken Griffey Jr. on Jackie Robinson Day and the decline of African-Americans in baseball
Posted by Larry Stone
Ken Griffey Jr. was instrumental in the way baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day, suggesting to commissioner Bud Selig more than a decade ago that players for this one day a year be allowed to wear No. 42, which has been retired by MLB. This year's celebration, taking place today throughout the majors, has been expanded to all players wearing No. 42.
" I just wanted to say thank you in my own little subtle way, and that was it,'' Griffey said Wednesday of his original proposal. " That's what it's about: Giving back to the people that helped you.
"I knew the (Robinson) family. It was just my way of saying thank you. I had no idea it would be something like this. I think this is a great cause. There's a lot of people in here that wouldn't be in here if it wasn't for him. The family deserves this. You never know how long it would have been if he would have failed.''
Griffey said he was steeped in the history of Negro League Baseball as well as Robinson's struggles by his father, Ken Griffey Sr.., as well as some baseball pioneers he encountered.
"Well, I had Joe Black, Brooks Lawrence, Chuck Harmon Sr., who all were good friends wth my dad. They figured I should know a little about baseball history, or just history itself. They proceeded to drill me on certain things. Then getting to play in pro ball, I had a guy named Willie Mays pull me aside every year. They didn't tell you like they were drilling it into your head. It was more them telling stories like a grandfather would tell their grandson. That's how I learned about certain things. "
Griffey has strong opinions on the decline of African-American players in the major leagues, and how baseball can began attracting more African-Americans to the ball fields and ball parks.
"First of all, they've got to start off with better commercials,'' he said. "The commercials are (bad). Think about it. You look at the NBA, NFL, their commercials, and they make you want to go out and play basketball, go play football. They show the excitement of the game itself. In baseball, it's come to the bleeping All-Star Game. And that's it. They don't show the excitement of the game."
I asked Griffey if he has told this to Selig.
"I've said the same thing for three years, four years, five years -- maybe seven. I think you've got to show the kids the fun side of playing the sport, instead of just, 'Hey, show up here.'
"If you're going to see a drastic improvement, it has to be at the ground level. That's where the love of the game starts. It doesn't start in high school or college. It starts off in t-ball. You've got to want to go out there and play...It doesn't matter whether you're black or white; the commercials are terrible. It doesn't show who we are as people. It just promotes one spot, postseason or the All-Star game. It doesn't show any of the fun stuff that goes on in between pitches, or the dugout, where guys are laughing."
I think this problem goes deeper than commercials, but I agree with Griffey that better promotion would be a good starting point.

The Greenest Place
Check out my latest little guy!
The Greenest Place
, a little 4x4 oil painting on gallery canvas. xox
Thick paint strokes, lovely teal, and major contrast... where would you put this little one?

Summer's End
Two posts in one night.... crazy. But here is the twin to the painting I just shared with you.
Aren't they a cute couple?
"Summer's End"
4x4 oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas and is, of course, available in my shop!
This oil painting is a little fresher, a little greener, a little simpler.
As you can see, I have the cutest little helper in the world. ...but please, baby, don't touch!
Little Fields of Gold
Hello dear readers!
I have begun painting again! It's like a refreshment for my soul, let me tell you! We are pretty much settled into our new home, my art room, while not set up
right, is unpacked, and my brushes are getting a little action!
Now, let me introduce you to one of my newest little guys!
"Little Fields of Gold"
is a charming little oil painting with yellow and golden fields in the foreground, layers of warm sky and clouds, and dots of trees and shrubs. The brush strokes and the thickness of the paint ("impasto") to add character, visual direction, and a feeling of lovely texture to this little painting.
I love the tiny size! This little guy measures 4×4 inches, which, for some reason, allows me to get out of my head and just paint. I had fun playing around with the color pallet; warm teal, gold, blue, gray. The canvas is 1.5 inches wide (edge) and is able to stand on it's own and it is very easy to hang.
So happy, so cute, so bold and brash for such a small thing!
You can find this baby in my shop or on my
new portfolio website
! Please, go on over there and see what I've been working on!

My life, the thriller.
Hello! Well, let me up-date you on my crazy life! Over the past couple months since my last post on this blog I have completed three more little painting that coordinate with the one in my last post (and they're pretty cute together, I have to say!) packed up my whole house, drove myself and two little girls from far-west Texas all the way to far-east South Carolina where my husband is now stationed. unpacked our whole house (my goodness we have a lot of stuff!) into our new home in Charleston, got settled in for a couple days, then had a whole party of out of town guests come for a visit. They left, then we left for a little "R&R" in DC during which time we proceeded to sleep very little and walk very, very, very far across that awesome city. After a week of excitement there we headed to Greenville, SC, then onto Atlanta, then - finally - home to our new home (still in partial boxes) in Charleston. My goodness I hate being in the car!
We have had a couple days of "normal" so I am getting back to work! I thought I would start by updating my
! Here are a couple images from that process. I was also honored with being featured in several treasuries on Etsy! I really love the one pictured above.
And now, back to work! I'll be posting some photos of new work soon (as soon as I can find the box that has my watercolor paints in it!)
Sunday, November 13, 2011
I have created a new painting and I'm so excited to share it with you! It's been far to long since my last painting; but anything longer than a few days feels way to long to me...
"Nearing 143657″ is a 4×4 inch baby painting. I love painting tiny paintings because they are perfect little pops of artistic expression. I like to place them on a shelf near a collection of pretty books, or on a mantle by a vase of flowers. They also look great in groups, or solo in a little area, hanging on the wall. Well really, they just look great no matter where you put them! Tiny paintings are also perfect for the art lover without a huge budget. These babies are priced just right (think, Christmas gift!)
"Nearing 14367″ is so named after the location this painting was inspired by. My parents live at 14367 CR 37 in a beautiful home out in the country in Northern, Ohio. Their home has to be one of the most warm, welcoming, comfortable, loving (and yummy!) places on earth. I took this snapshot while driving down the road on the way "home" one afternoon. There is so much lush foliage, and warm sunshine in this place… I incorporated many shades of gold and cheery green, as well as a huge variety of warm blues in the sky. It hope this painting fills you with that sense of lovely warmth and belonging as well!
There are eight more small paintings coming soon but you can find this one in my
fine art shop.

Facebook Page coming soon!
Stop by and say hello!

BeautifulHello inspiration blog:
So much excitement! Life is amazing... but life is oh so crazy.
In case you're wondering, no, I am NOT going to stop painting! I have oil paints in my blood. I think in watercolors. I am not stopping. There will be many more paintings posted on this blog in the days ahead, so be sure to check back often or "follow" this blog so you'll be the first to know when they're posted! I simply have to focus on a different expression of my art for the time being. We're living in a small apartment (without a studio or place to paint), while living in a strange city in the middle of nowhere in Texas. And with my husbands stressful and crazy work schedule and my two daughters, I need to put aside my first art-love for right now to focus on my family and other art forms.
I'm not trying to sound cranky or discontent! I'm not at all! I know this is where God wants me right now, and where I'm supposed to do... I just want you to know that I'll be back!
We're moving to Charleston early next year and I am soooo hoping for a house with a studio... or at least a cozy little painting corner. But either way, i'm looking forward to getting out my brushes again soon!
I may even surprise myself and create a line of little paintings before Christmas!
Friday, October 21, 2011
In case you're wondering what occupies my time these days:
I just had to share some photos I took yesterday. My little darlings sure to keep me busy, but they also keep me smiling, happy, laughing, on my toes, active, attentive, peaceful, and oh so joyful. I wouldn't trade Annalisa Grace or Madelyn Ansley for anything in the world.
We're having fun together on our Texas adventure.
It doesn't hurt that they're both ridiculously cute...
Annalisa is 2 now (!) and Madelyn is 8 month old. They're both learning so much and have started to really enjoy playing together. So fun.

Beautiful Hello and I Wish We Had Fall
Hello to my most faithful of followers. I have been a horrible blogger as of late. I'm so sorry! As you know, we moved to Texas where my husband has been doing some advanced training for his job in the Air Force, and since then I've only completed four paintings (one of which I hate because it's blue and for some reason I don't like blue. Weird, I know). Honestly, its been hard to paint here. I'm used to having a room full of light and peace and space in which to let all my creative juices come out through paint, but that's not really the set up I have goin' here… Because we're only here for 6 months, we decided to get a smaller apartment to save money for our, hopefully, much nicer home in Charleston (where we'll be moving next!) I have to say I am very, very excited about that. Really, just seeing green grass makes me happy these days… Charleston, SC is going to feel like paradise with all the little gardens hidden around town, and the lush sea side feel… can not wait.
I am, however, still staying very busy! I've created a new line of wedding invitations and save-the-date cards that make me very happy. I'm such a hopeless romantic deep down… I'm selling them on my shop:
. Hop over and check them out! Even if you're old and married (like me) they'll make your day a little brighter. They are all "DIY invitations" meaning I design a custom piece for you, format it onto paper and you get it printed and assembled. It's totally I win win because the bride and groom still get that custom, unique look (that normally costs an arm and a leg) for a tiny fraction of the price, and I get to focus on designing (the part I loooove) and less on printing.
Here are a couple samples. I am still working on getting examples printed of all the other ones I have completed. Coming soon!
See... we're still in love... and such a cute couple we are!
(yes, I made up fake names and info. That way no weirdos find us)
Since we don't really have fall here (everything died back in May, so there are no leaves to change colors) I thought I'd create a virtual fall/love collage for my own sake. But I thought you may enjoy it too. The first image "DIY Photo Wedding Invitation" was created by yours truly.
If you have some leaves near your home, jump in them for me!

Headed West
Well it's done. The first substantial (aka, large) painting for our new living room! As you know, we just moved to West Texas from sunny, lush, green South Carolina. Let me tell you... it's a bit of a landscape culture shock. I used to live in Houston, so I thought I knew what I was getting into... but it feel so different!
I love the warm colors, the HUGE sky, and the hundred different shades of yellow that are prevalent here. It seems like you can see for miles and miles and miles... and, you probably can! I snapped the photo that inspired this painting on my drive from San Antonio, TX to San Angelo, TX.
This painting, called "Headed West" is 24x36 inches on canvas. I cannot wait to get it framed and hung behind our lovely new couch!!

Residential: £250 million regeneration project
This £250m boost to Central Brighton has regenerated the old goods yard – a 15 acre site vacant for over 30 years – adjacent to the Brighton railway station, creating a vibrant virtually car free urban quarter.
Starting in 1998, QED managed the entire development process of this RICS award winning urban regeneration scheme on behalf of Sainsbury's Supermarkets. QED negotiated the initial acquisition of the site, overseeing the design and planning stages and liaising with local stakeholders and other agencies with involvement in this multi-faceted project.
The innovative development combines contemporary design and sustainable building practice, with the new homes achieving an Eco Home rating of 'excellent' and CO2 emission savings of over 40%.
The pedestrian takes priority over the car wherever possible.
The 25,000 square foot food store is served by a discrete underground car park and the successful City Car Club helps reduce traffic congestion and pollution.
Bioregional Quintain's One Brighton was built on one of the sites allocated for housing, the modern office space includes space specifically for small businesses and a green corridor was created along with the Brighton Greenway, a site of Nature Conservation Importance.

Sports fans should not be suprised if they walk into a New York Yankees store in Manhattan in the near future and find a display of New York Giants merchandise, or if they see the same billboards popping up at Giants games and inside the Continental Airlines Arena, where the New Jersey Devils and New Jersey Nets play.
YankeeNets, the partnership that owns the Yankees, the Devils and the Nets, has reached an agreement with the New York Giants Inc. to form a ''marketing and sponsorship alliance,'' which will offer sponsors year-round deals for multiple sites and sports.
''Sponsors today are really looking for the opportunity of one-stop shopping,'' Robert Tisch, the co-owner of the Giants, said while announcing the alliance.
The one-year agreement, with a mutual option to renew it, will focus on the franchises sponsoring and promoting each other's events, including selling products from each club in team-controlled stores. The Giants will also provide their broadcast facilities for YankeeNets radio and pregame-show production.
The agreement does not allow either company to acquire equity in the other. And because the National Football League controls the media rights to Giants games, the deal will not affect any plans YankeeNets may have to create its own cable network.
''We're not touching anything that involves media rights,'' said Rusty Hawley, the Giants' vice president for marketing. ''This is simply a blending of our marketing strengths to achieve economies of scale in all aspects of marketing that we do control.''
Harvey W. Schiller, the chairman and chief executive of YankeeNets, said the partnership will allow both companies to offer sponsors access to powerful franchises in every major sport.
''Since all these franchises operate in America's most powerful media market, the potential gains are truly beneficial,'' he said. ''We have created an incredible opportunity for sponsors across the board to access some of the most powerful franchises in sport.''
The agreement could affect everything from signs in stadiums, to promotions, to merchandise, Schiller and Tisch each said.
The teams will begin by reviewing existing agreements for signs and marketing, then formulate a way to offer advertisers the option of long-range plans that may include any of the teams and their sites. Hawley and John F. Krimsky, the president of YankeeNets Properties, will oversee the project.
''What this does is it makes our partnership very, very competitive against other properties that sponsors have available,'' Krimsky said. ''We are providing an oppportunity with one marketing agreement to tie into four great teams.''

Sandra knew hubby was The One after bike accident
"The day I knew was after he got in a racing accident in California about three months into our relationship. I realised how bad it was when we were driving down to be with him and they said that the chaplains were already there," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
"I said, ''Whatever condition he's in, I want to be the one to make the decision as to how to make him better,'' and I realised I didn't have that right. I knew then that I was in for the long haul and I thought, if he was (going to be) in a wheelchair or whatever, I was willing to take it on. When couples make the vows "for better, for worse" they rarely think of the worst that can happen. But I thought the worst from the beginning, so every day is kind of a little blessing," she added.

76. Mikey Jackson
When we last put the spotlight on 100 creative forces in Phoenix, it was no secret there were more than 100 individuals who were making waves in the local arts community. So as we count down to our annual Best of Phoenix issue, we're profiling 100 more. Welcome (back) to 100 Creatives
Mikey Jackson |
Mikey Jackson was born in Seoul, South Korea and says he bounced around Japan, Hawaii, and California for a while before landing in Phoenix and made a go for it in the arts community.
"I've always had a creative urge to doodle and make things with my hands, but it wasn't until a couple years ago I decided to focus on art a bit more seriously," he says.
Mikey Jackson |
I came to Phoenix with . . . my family in the summer of '95. it was really effing hot.
I make art because . . . I have a hole in me that I must fill with creativity. Plus I'd have no idea what to do with myself and my thoughts. Visual art helps me to express how i feel and all that jazz. I'm terrible with...umm..words.
I'm most productive when . . . I'm working on multiple projects. I walk away from things and come back to them quite often. It's like productive procrastination, I guess.

My inspiration wall is full of . . . magazine pages, photos, drawings, feathers, and the occasional quote.
I've learned the most from . . . being open to making mistakes and learning from them. This has helped me to be more confident in my work.
Good work should always . . . be authentic. Jim Jarmusch says, "Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows." I really like that.
The Phoenix creative scene could use . . . more events to meet other artists. It's interesting to know who's doing what.

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.82 / 5.00 7,881 ViewsAn entertaining game which Choose each card similar The cards disappear and you get the job done on time and the result
=Graphics and Design (3/5):
The tiles match each other in style when they're flipped, but the one-colored red backside makes it really dull to look at. The text in the top of the screen seems misplaced, because they're not aligned properly. Also, Times New Roman is good for writing reports for your English-teacher, but they have no place on the web. Also try adding a background next time.
=Sounds and Music (2/5):
I like that you have two sounds, one for the first click and one for the second. It adds a nice dynamic feel when playing, but due to the lack of music I have to give you a mere 2/5-rating.
=Gameplay (1/5):
The idea is one of the most overused ever. Seriously. I didn't even finish the game due to the repetitive nature of this game. Sorry, that's a 1.
=Overall (1/5):
The game is repetitive and boring. It appears to be at a still, unless interacted by with the player.
A little hint, try adding a leaderboard! (not sure if you actually have one, since I haven't finished the game)
Fun game, a bit repetitive.. but still fun.. Just give it a try & challenge yourself to beat your best time! After flipping over all the cards, matching every pair, and beating the game round, at least once!
I like the scoring system.
Change the name, spice up the graphics, and maybe add some RPG elements and you could have something really good.


text: Christchurch - Ireland have beefed up their front row with the return of tighthead prop Mike Ross in one of four changes to their starting line up for the second Test against the All Blacks on Saturday.Ross, a robust scrummager, missed the 42-10 loss in the first Test because of a hamstring injury leaving Declan Fitzpatrick to make his debut against the All Blacks 84-cap veteran Tony Woodcock.Fitzpatrick has been dropped back to the bench for the second Test as has left wing Simon Zebo who also made his debut last week. The other changes in the team announced on Thursday see Gordon D'Arcy restored to inside centre in place of the injured Keith Earls and Kevin McLaughlin, comes off the bench to take over from Peter O'Mahony at blindside flank.D'Arcy's selection reunites him with captain Brian O'Driscoll to start their 48th international as Ireland's midfield partnership.Ireland forwards coach and former Springbok Gert Smal expects a vastly improved performance from his pack for the second Test against an All Blacks side he rates highly."They have the makings of a great side," he conceded after Ireland were trounced in the first Test."In saying that, we are not going to sit back and wait and see what they can do. "Again, I think we can also play a little bit and we also showed two years ago that even with 14 men we can score two tries if we keep possession and have a go at them. That is what we are going to do on Saturday."Teams:New Zealand: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Zac Guildford, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Sonny Bill Williams, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Kieran Read, 7 Richie McCaw (captain), 6 Adam Thomson, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Brodie Retallick, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Andrew Hore, 1 Tony Woodcock Substitutes: 16 Hikawera Elliott, 17 Ben Franks, 18 Ali Williams, 19 Sam Cane, 20 Piri Weepu, 21 Aaron Cruden, 22 Ben SmithIreland: 15 Rob Kearney, 14 Fergus McFadden, 13 Brian O'Driscoll, 12 Gordon D'Arcy, 11 Andrew Trimble, 10 Jonathan Sexton, 9 Conor Murray, 8 Jamie Heaslip, 7 Sean O'Brien, 6 Kevin McLaughlin, 5 Donnacha Ryan, 4 Dan Tuohy, 3 Mike Ross, 2 Rory Best, 1 Cian HealySubstitutes: 16 Sean Cronin, 17 Declan Fitzpatrick, 18 Donncha O'Callaghan, 19 Peter O'Mahony, 20 Eoin Reddan, 21 Ronan O'Gara, 22 Simon Zebo.

Agar petri dishes are crucial to science experiments that involve growing bacteria or other microorganisms. The agar serves as a food for the bacteria, which is why it is often called nutrient agar. Although prepared petri dishes can be purchased, many students and labs make their own agar petri dishes using bottled agar or a powdered agar mix.
- Skill level:
- Moderate
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Sterile petri dishes with covers
- Bottled or powdered agar
- Hot water
- Bowl
- Measuring cup
- Refrigerator
Show More
- 1
Loosen the cap of the bottle of agar to allow it to vent.
- 2
Warm the bottle in a bowl of hot water until the solid agar melts into a liquid.
- 3
Pick up the bottle carefully, using potholders if it is hot to the touch.
Preparing Bottled Agar
- 1
Read the instructions on the agar packaging to find the correct ratio of agar powder to water.
- 2
Pour the correct amount of boiling water into a sterile measuring cup, ideally one with a spout for pouring.
- 3
Mix the agar into the water, using a sterile tool, until it is fully incorporated.
Preparing Powdered Agar
- 1
Set your sterile petri dishes on a flat surface, such as a countertop or lab bench. Keep the lids on the petri dishes until you are ready to pour.
- 2
Pick up the petri dish lid with one hand and move it to the side, just enough to make a small opening in the petri dish.
- 3
Use your other hand to pour the liquid agar into the petri dish, covering the bottom with about 1/8 inch of agar.
- 4
Replace the lid on top of the petri dish before moving on to the next dish.
- 5
Let the petri dishes sit on the counter until the agar has solidified.
- 6
Turn the petri dishes upside down and put them into a refrigerator.
Pouring Agar
Tips and warnings
- If you would prefer not to use boiling water, both bottled and powdered agar can be heated in the microwave instead.
- All materials used in the preparation of agar petri dishes should be sterile to avoid bacterial contamination.

And they'll go to great lengths to prove it. I'll just get right to it. AdvertisementSaints owner Tom Benson owns various car dealerships. We're told that, each year, he brings a mini-fleet of new cars to the team facility in the hopes of getting some of his employees to make a purchase. As we hear it, the players don't really appreciate the sales pitch, due in part to the perception that they aren't offered much of a deal. This year, some of them made it known. On Saturday, when players arrived at the facility to continue preparations for Monday night's home game against the Packers, more than one of the cars was coated in a certain byproduct of the human digestive system. Now, of course this could have been the result of a civilian prank so let's not jump all over the Saints just yet. It could have been anyone. Anyone seen Najeh Davenport lately?Reply24 repliesLeave a reply

Arsene Wenger will sign a new Arsenal contract, and is proving it by planning a huge spending spree in the summer transfer window.
Wenger has left Arsenal in no doubt that he is staying because he is lining up big transfer targets as he looks to strengthen his squad for a title challenge next season.
Gunners boss Wenger, 64, has kept fans guessing about his future because he has still not put pen to paper on a new deal despite telling the board months ago that he was staying.
But Wenger, who is still hoping to nail down a top four finish and win the FA Cup, has already been told he has got £70m-plus to spend this summer and is determined to spend big.
The Frenchman accepts his squad needs strengthening in several areas as he look to bring in a big name striker, new right back, midfield general, wide player and new keeper.
Wenger believes the club's poor recent form is down to injuries and that has left him convinced that he needs reinforcements to keep up with the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Need help choosing a discrete IV stage
I recently completed a DAC with NOS AD1865 and a salas shunt regulators I now need to decide on a IV stage for it I want it to be solid state and discrete. I have found two circuit that look the best to me the "Pass D1 IV" and the "Pedja Rogic´s Discrete Diamond Non-Feedback I/V Stage" I would like to know which one of these circuits have the best performance "subjectively" (sound quality) - test figures THD, ect.

Silicon chip an Australian magazine recently published a dac that ised a discrete I to v stage. It was a reasonably conventional discrete op amp, which in my mind was the right choice. The measured performance was very good indeed.
Most of the silicon chip stuff is published in Europe under a magazine (guessing here) named something like epn I am sure there would be an Aussie or kiwi who has a copy of the article. FYI they used a cl4398 dac but that should not affect the approach to I to v Last edited by googlyone; 3rd April 2012 at 01:48 AM. Reason: Typo |

Borbely published several discrete dac analog stages in Audio Amateur/Xpress in the 1990's mid to late 200?. Even the early one is still worth building.

If you don't need an I/V input impedance of less than several Ohms, you should definitely consider the EUVL CEN I/V. Excellent performance !

Thanks I will compare the two stages when I get the parts to build them.
Also, I built the Pass D1 IV and there in a slight amount of hum. the layout is good (ground plane). the the wires are all hooked up good. could the hum be caused by no signal at the I-Input (I have no DAC chip yet.)? |

Here is the Silicon Chip one for the CS4398 mentioned in the second post, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the CS4398 a voltage output dac.

That is a v-out dac the dac chip i use (AD1865) is i-out.
Does anybody have any experience with the Pedja DDNF stage there is not many comments about it's sound quality. I want to know if it's worth building? |

I am using Pedja's DDNF on a homebrew pcb with TDA1541a... I like it very much, but have little to compare with. I just know I like it a lot more than SRPP tube stage....

I have some experience with the AD1865, as I've designed and built two different DACs using it. The AD1865 is relatively rare, in that it is a current output DAC with a high output voltage compliance. This enables the use of a passive resistor I/V, which is the best performing type of I/V, assuming the DAC has a high voltage compliance, which most don't. I've used I/V resistor values as high as 330 ohms on AD1865 without problem. I find that passive I/V with this DAC chip subjectively supremely clean sounding.
What passive I/V with the AD1865 further enables is the A.C. coupling of the DAC output to your linestage without any intervening circuitry. Most solid-state linestages have enough gain for this, most of which is thrown away anyhow, with typical 2VRMS DAC output voltage levels. The output impedance will be the 1.7K ohm AD1865 output impedance in parallel with whatever value of I/V resistor you've slected. In other words, it will be low enough to drive your quite effectively.
