For Illini, Buffs, Terps, 2-0 reason to be excited
For some teams, a 2-0 start really is something to get excited about.
Colorado has already doubled its win total from last year. Boston College and Illinois have matched their number of victories from 2012 and Auburn is two-thirds of the way to its total. Maryland is halfway to last season's four wins.
Coming off such poor seasons, a couple of early victories provide welcome relief from the negativity that can cover a program like a damp and musty blanket. For the first time in a while, there is real reason for optimism.
Of course, the coaches of these teams are eager to temper enthusiasm.
"We're not to where we want to be yet by any means," Illinois coach Tim Beckman said Monday. "We're really focused on getting better. This football team is really driven in that direction from the senior class down to the freshmen."
So far so good for the Illini, Buffaloes, Eagles, Tigers and Terrapins.
ILLINOIS (defeated Southern Illinois, Cincinnati).
After a terrible first season in Champaign, Beckman made changes to his staff, most importantly bringing in former Western Michigan coach Bill Cubit to run the offense. The early returns have been sensational. Last season Illinois' offense was the worst in the Big Ten. This season, with many of the same players, including quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, the Illini have averaged 496 yards per game.
COLORADO (defeated Colorado State, Central Arkansas).
CU took some heat for firing Jon Embree after only two seasons as coach of his alma mater, but it was pretty clear the first-time head coach was learning on the job and that was part of the reason the Buffs made a good case for being the worst team in a BCS automatic qualifying conference last year. New coach Mike MacIntyre has cleaned up the mess. Having star wide out Paul Richardson, the Pac-12′s leading receiver, back from a knee injury helps, too.
AUBURN (defeated Washington State, Arkansas State).
New coach Gus Malzahn inherited what might have been the most dysfunctional team in the country last season, but not one without talent. The Tigers recruiting classes for 2010, '11 and '12 all ranked in the top 10 nationally, according to Rivals.com. There's a lot to like about the Tigers start, especially on offense. While trying to nurse along new quarterback Nick Marshall, the Tigers have run for 298 yards per game. Malzahn has barely scratched the surface with this offense.
BOSTON COLLEGE (defeated Villanova, Wake Forest). Another new coach pumping life into a program that hit rock bottom last season. Steve Addazio generated some buzz in the offseason with his "Be a Dude" slogan and some surprisingly big scores in recruiting. He's brought the power running game back to Chestnut Hill, with Andre Williams averaging 159 yards rushing, fourth in the nation. The Eagles are about to enter a tough stretch of schedule, but maybe not as difficult as first expected. Next up: at Southern California.
MARYLAND (defeated FIU, Old Dominion). The first two seasons of the Randy Edsall era produced six victories. But anybody who has been following along closely knows that Maryland has been accumulating some interesting talent. Receiver Stefon Diggs was terrific as a freshman last season. Now he has dual-threat quarterback CJ Brown getting him the ball. The Terps' competition hasn't been much, but they have scored 90 points. If nothing else, they won't be dull.
FAR FROM OVER: The start of the season doesn't necessarily mean the end of the quarterback competitions. Here are a few still raging:
USC. Coach Lane Kiffin decided to change it up and announce his starter this week instead of revealing it at game time. Cody Kessler is going to get another start Saturday when the Trojans face Boston College. He and Max Wittek have played in each game, neither effectively. Kiffin has tried to ease them in with conservative play-calling. It might be time to open it up and see what happens.
Michigan State. The Spartans' offense has been outscored by defensive end Shilique Calhoun, who has three touchdowns. Coach Mark Dantonio used two quarterbacks (Andrew Maxwell and Connor Cook) in Game 1, three in Game 2 (Cook, Maxwell and Tyler O'Connor). And don't be surprised if a fourth (Damion Terry) gets some time Saturday against Youngstown State. The Spartans play at Notre Dame on Sept. 21.
Oklahoma. Trevor Knight, who beat out Blake Bell in the preseason, will miss the Tulsa game Saturday with a bruised knee. That means Bell, aka the Belldozer, starts. He relieved Knight last week against West Virginia but mostly just ran out the clock. Knight completed 43.8 percent of his passes, so there's an opening for Bell to seize this job.
South Florida. First-year coach Willie Taggart is sticking with Bobby Eveld as the starter. He split time with Matt Floyd during an ugly opening loss to McNeese State, and then played almost the whole game in a loss to Michigan State. The Bulls get Florida Atlantic next. If Eveld can't get it done against the Owls, expect Floyd or Penn State transfer Steven Bench to get another shot.
Syracuse. Much was expected of Oklahoma transfer Drew Allen, but he's thrown six interceptions in two games and the Orange have lost both. Back-up Terrell Hunt led a scoring drive late against Northwestern on Saturday. With FCS Wagner on tap Saturday, first-year coach Scott Shafer has the opportunity to give both another look.
—Impressive start way off the radar: Bowling Green dominated Conference USA favorite Tulsa in its opener, 33-7, and then pounded Kent State, considered a fellow Mid-American Conference contender, 41-22.
—Three weeks into the season, we'll finally get to see how good No. 20 Wisconsin is under new coach Gary Andersen. The Badgers play at Arizona State after opening with shutouts of Massachusetts and Tennessee Tech. Arizona State also opened easy, beating Sacramento State.
—Another example that recruiting is far from an exact science. Rutgers running back Paul James is averaging 150 yards after two games and has emerged as the team's go-to back. He's a walk-on. The player he beat out, Savon Huggins, was rated a four-star recruit.
"They had really bad players." — Texas coach Mack Brown on why he wasn't concerned that new defensive coordinator Greg Robinson oversaw two poor defenses during his time at Michigan.

The Madrid-born coach, who has previously promised to include the 26-year-old in his next squad, was in attendance as the Swans battled to a 0-0 draw against Everton at Goodison Park.
And, despite conceding that the prolific Spaniard could not show his best form as the Welsh outfit struggled on Merseyside, Laudrup expects Del Bosque to have seen enough so far this season.
"If Del Bosque had called me before I could have told him that this wasn't maybe the best game to see Michu but I know that over here we're watching the Spanish league and in Spain they are watching the Premier League," he told reporters.
|Michu is 18/1 to be the top Premier League goalscorer with Paddy Power
"We talk so often about Michu; he gets one chance and he scores. That's really class but, then again, he knew today had to be a day where he had to work and that's what he did."
The Dane went on to hail his side's flexibility as they eschewed their trademark passing football in order to share the spoils with a physical Toffees outfit.
"To come here and play Everton in such a difficult away game after playing in midweek against Chelsea and getting a point it's a great result and once more it was a great performance," he continued.
"Maybe [we got] the points in a different way than we are used to but sometimes you have to accept, especially in away games, that the opponent is not allowing you to play your game.
"For two games now – on Wednesday and today – we didn't have the ball as much as we're used to but still we performed so well.
"I think to come out of here and of Stamford Bridge with two clean sheets says a lot about the moment, about our team and about the team spirit we have – even changing some players, other players come in and perform well.
"When you play Everton you play [Nikica] Jelavic, [Marouane] Fellaini, [Victor] Anichebe, you know a lot of balls will come in. You need a good performance from your central defenders and they were outstanding today.
"[Everton] are so strong and you know just one or two second balls and they can create a chance. We played Chelsea on Wednesday, where everything is about combination on the ground and then three days later another very difficult away game.
"We come here, a completely different style against us and still we have to perform and I think it's not always easy but the players did it and as a manager I'm delighted to see a performance like that.
"Even though I always prefer that we play the ball around with 15 combinations and then create a chance but you have to be realistic with 55 games in a season, especially in some away games you have to accept that the opponent are very strong and you have to play in another way."
Everton boss David Moyes, meanwhile, lamented his side's inability to capitalise on their domination of possession.
"We're a bit frustrated but Swansea did a really good job in midweek on Chelsea and [this was] not dissimilar," he said.
"We're just disappointed that we couldn't turn our opportunities into goals" - David Moyes
"We had three or four good opportunities but maybe just not perfect. I couldn't turn around and say anyone missed a real sitter. I thought we kept going, kept trying to do the right things.
"We could have done it better but I can't fault the players for their effort, I think they went right to the last minute to get the goal.
"[Too many draws] could quite easily cost us if we don't turn these into wins but we just couldn't get the ball over the line today, that was the big thing.
"I think apart from one Michu opportunity in the first half where he chips it and Tim [Howard] flicks it onto the bar, I didn't think we were threatened that much.
"But they have had a busy week and a hard week so it's a great point for them. We're just disappointed that we couldn't turn our opportunities into goals."
The Scot also revealed that he is unlikely to add to his squad in the January transfer window, despite admitting his frustrations at a lack of options from the bench.
"I think you probably saw what was coming on made us look a bit short. We've been like that all season and we've done really well," he continued.
"We could do with getting Kevin Mirallas back, I thought we needed another different type of forward today and we didn't have it.
"Even to get Darron Gibson or even Tony Hibbert [back]; we could have played Seamus Coleman further forward if we had needed to but we didn't have those sort of choices.
"The answer to the question is probably not, I wouldn't expect too much comings or goings."

Independence Power and Light unveiled its plan Saturday to move from coal to a more diversified power supply due to EPA regulations and the age of its two coal plants.
�Do you have safe and reliable service at reasonable rates?� energy attorney Karl Zobrist asked the audience.
This question framed the discussion on energy options. Nearly a hundred people came to learn about the fates of the two coal power plants owned by the city of Independence: Blue Valley and Missouri City. They heard from representatives from IPL, Indy Energy and the Sierra Club and then had the opportunity to voice their concerns.
IPL director Leon Daggett said it wants to go a more diverse route for energy sources in order for rates to remain stable. The plan is to retire the Missouri City plant in January 2016 and the Blue Valley power plant off of Truman Road in Independence will switch from coal to natural gas. No additional expense will be required to convert Blue Valley to use natural gas, he said, because the plant was originally designed for it.
Recent EPA regulations mandate that all U.S. coal power plants operate at a cleaner and more efficient level beginning this year. Jason White of Indy Energy said meeting this requirement will cost $105.5 million to upgrade both plants.
�Burning coal will be expensive,� White told the audience. �Potential costs to upgrade the plants to meet EPA regulations will be $27.1 million for Missouri City and $78.4 million for Blue Valley, bringing a total of $105.5 million.�
White said the costs were determined by a 2011 master plan update in which IPL outlined energy issues and options. The study revealed three developments: the cancellation or delay of over 100 coal-fired projects, declining natural gas prices and pending environmental requirements.
According to a December 2013 report by the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit advocacy group, as many as 329 coal-fired generators in the country are no longer economically competitive to operate.
�They are simply older, dirtier and underutilized compared to natural gas or wind power,� White said.
The UCS report also said the IPL plants are �ripe for retirement� with Missouri City being 59 years old and Blue Valley 51. The average life expectancy of a coal plant is 45 years, White said.
The IPL master plan also recommends to replace the two coal plants as well, citing output. It says the plants have an increasingly smaller role in meeting overall energy needs. Peaking at 38.2 percent in 2008, the plants only generate 10 or 11 percent of the city�s power today.
�Missouri City is a small plant that is used four months during the summer,� said Daggett. �The city�s power is 60 to 65 percent from two life-of-unit contracts through Iatan and NC-2 at 5.5 cents per kilowatt hour; 13 percent is from natural gas at the Dogwood Facility in Pleasant Hill and the rest are from spot purchases and renewable sources.�
Blue Valley operates year-round.
To compensate for the remaining 90 to 91 percent of the output, IPL participates in the Southwest Power Pool, a six-state regional pool through which it can purchase power from others or sell excess capacity. On Jan. 6, the Independence City Council approved a new agreement where IPL can purchase on a day-ahead basis in order to hold down rates.
�But it may be sooner,� said Leon Daggett, director of IPL, over the phone days later. �We may change to natural gas as soon as it gets lower than the cost of coal.�
Also, Daggett said that IPL will seek to double its renewable energy sources by 2018. And despite rates being increased over the past five years, they should remain stable with the continued diversified energy portfolio plan once the transition has been made to natural gas at Blue Valley, according to Daggett. He said the recent increased rates were due to safety measures.
�There could have been a blowout in one of the boiler�s lines. Money had to be spent to ensure safety and reliability.� He also said that IPL's sole source of revenue is from ratepayers.
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 53 representative Bruce VanCompernolle said the union wants to continue with coal power and the change to natural gas could potentially impact jobs.
�Local 53 has a vested interest in the city,� he said. �Of the 350 city employees, 160 of those are at IPL and 58 of them are on the production unit.� He said both Blue Valley and Missouri City have the ability to produce a third of Independence�s energy. �We pride ourselves in owning our utilities.�
�Coal is still the cheapest,� he said. �But the EPA requirements make it more expensive.�
He said natural gas is a �volatile market� and �you�re at the whim of the price.� Plus he said that rates could possibly triple. Daggett said that Texas, where 64 percent of its power comes from natural gas, recently experienced a spike where electricity prices were $5,000 per megawatt hour; hence the justification for a diverse energy portfolio approach for the city's future.
"Once Blue Valley changes to natural gas, it will still generate 10 to 11 percent of the city's power," Daggett added.
Vancompernolle said that IBEW�s position is to go ahead with plans to meet EPA regulations by retrofitting both plants and continue to burn coal with clean coal technology.
�Citizens have the say-so on the rates. This isn�t investor-owned and up to the shareholders. We have quality jobs here at IPL. The natural gas change could impact the number of employees and loss of high quality jobs.�
Daggett later said that Missouri City consists of temporary workers, mostly former IPL employees. Once Missouri City closes, Daggett said supervisors and management of the plant would be transferred back to Blue Valley.
�Natural gas is not totally environmentally friendly,� Vamcompernolle added. �We like having quality jobs in the community, and we may lose our positions if we go to natural gas.�
Besides natural gas or coal as sources of energy, what about the possibility of switching to renewables?
Andy Knott of the Sierra Club pointed out that KCP&L nearly doubled its investment in wind energy, resulting in producing 200 megawatts.
�Wind is environmentally friendly and no rates will increase,� he said. �It will save payers more money and most importantly, wind is free.�
As for the reliance on natural gas, Knott suggested weather patterns, such as last week�s polar vortex, affect energy costs.
�Wind turbines could bring in hundreds of new employees,� he said. �Siemens is hiring in Kansas and Iowa for their wind farms and many renewable companies in Missouri are developing.�
Knott said that besides the positive economic benefits renewable sources, such as wind, may bring, the reason the Sierra Club wanted to participate in Saturday�s meeting was because of how coal impacts the environment.
Knott nevertheless commended IPL for its streetlight replacement project, switching the city to more efficient LED bulbs.
�I know what is reliable, safe and economic,� replied Daggett. �Wind has a lot of problems.� He said he has been involved in the energy industry for over 30 years and said 80 percent of the electricity generated in Missouri is from coal.
He said that although 5 percent of IPL�s energy comes from a wind farm in Kansas, the source is only available 40 percent of the time. �Plus no one manufactures wind turbines in town.�
One citizen pointed out there is potential liability if IPL decides to pursue wind turbines. They reported to have clipped five newspaper articles where wind farms were fined for killing rare birds. He also said it was estimated that one million birds are killed annually by wind turbines.
On the other hand, another person brought up the danger of continuing with coal power. They said coal pollutants contain mercury when it burns and seeps into the environment that kills off other kinds of animals. �And they cause respiratory aliments.�
Daggett maintained that renewables such as solar or wind would not even count as capacity resources because of the low wattage they generate. As for solar paneling, he said Independence was the first in the area to allow it.
One citizen said he wanted to install solar paneling for his home, especially with his ideal 33 degree sloped roof. He said Independence�s city ordinance mandates that in order to have solar paneling on a house, it must be installed by a qualified installer. �But it doesn�t define what exactly is a qualified installer,� he added.
Toward the end of the forum, the panel all seemed to agree that the two coal plants would not shut down overnight. �It�s technologically unfeasible,� Knott said, �but we�re very dependent on coal. It�s not economically viable and we have to move on to something more sustainable. In terms of electrical needs, how can you do it in a responsible and environmentally friendly way?� He also said the diverse portfolio IPL is implementing is a �balanced and reasonable approach.� However, IBEW remained adamant that continuing with coal is the best long-term option.
�We�re not excited about the transition. We want to maintain �independence� in Independence,� said Vancompernolle.
�We�re a blue collar community yet concerned about the environment,� said a member of the audience. That comment was followed by applause and cheers.
The panel concluded that it is important for Independence residents, specifically voters, to continue to be involved with IPL and their source of energy, since it is municipally-owned.
�These are terribly complicated problems, but we�re all in this together,� concluded Roger Hershey from Indy Energy.

You can't go wrong with the early Anekdoten albums. They too have that mellotron induced shafts of light vibe going on.

Theres hardly been anythying in this thread that I truly consider dark, evil, or scary. That Mort Garson album is, frankly, a joke . I agree with Dobermensch's review of it. Nothing remotely evil about it...
This is stuff that is dark, evil, and scary. Works best with headphones on and closed eyes.
This Two Tom Waits' are super terrifying.

And while we're on Current 93, don't forget "Homotopy For Marie" by Nurse With Wound. Couldn't take it more than once.

Two Mellotrons plus many analog synthesizers were used to construct this underground melancholic masterpiece.
Btw, are you familiar with Goblin?

I quite disagree, you have to remember the times that Garson composed it (late-1960's). I grew up in that era, and there was quite a bit of paranoia regarding Satanism and Satanic cults. This was reflected in TV shows such as the amazing episode "The Sign of Satan" on Alfred Hitchcock, http://imdb.com/title/tt0394086/ Satanism was also explored on "Thriller" and other US TV shows and was quite present in the mainstream media.
The thinking on this in the US was quite paranoid, and the Charles Manson Family murders in 1969 brought this Satanism-frenzy to quite a crescendo. This is all lost now over forty years later, but it was quite real at the time and, to many, terrifying.
For Mort Garson (a Canadian) to take such a plunge when he did (1971) is nothing less than remarkable. Listen closely to "Incubus" with headphones, keeping this definition in mind...try to get into the composer's head, it is rather disturbing.
n. pl. in·cu·bus·es or in·cu·bi (-b)
1. An evil spirit supposed to descend upon and have sexual intercourse with women as they sleep.
2. A nightmare.
3. An oppressive or nightmarish burden.

If you travel in a time machine to 1974, seat yourself in a room of born again Christians, and play the instrumental improvisational piece "Starless and Bible Black' ..they would in return spell out evil for you. I understand your personal taste and hold you in the highest regard, but I feel that you may be missing the point that evil is not always scary. Although I believe "Starless and Bible Black" falls into characterization of words like creepy mysterious horror. Based on the fact that the band is vamping off tri-tones or better known to the church as the "Devil's Interval".
When you're a seasoned musician this topic feels a bit moronic based on certain realities of the past. Historically..20TH Century composers were bashed by a majority of people in the U.S....but yet..these tri-tones were utilized through the commercial media to make money. "The Twilight Zone", "Outer Limits" and the list goes on. It's safe base for the average person to accept a dark piece if it's contained to back an actor in a horror film..but God forbid if it has serious intentions like in Art Zoyd's music or as I mentioned before..S.A.B.B. The last thing on earth a seasoned musician needs to be confronted with is a comment like "Hey Boy".."You're playing Devil music" . Only in America though..?
Musicians compose around personal experiences. If they have a mysterious experience..they may compose a dark piece. Playing tri-tones in every form your brain can create..will naturally create a sound which is mysterious in nature or to some people...evil. It's suppose to be completely natural like any other form of musicial expression. However it offends religion which is a debate..however..not to deny religious beliefs ..but what comes natural to a musician is part of what they are born with. The ability to produce music from experiences in the real world without having a direct motive. That is why I find the subject annoying.

Having titles refering to dark and evil things doesn't automatically make the music disturbing. The entire album just sounds hokey, there was much creepier stuff being made at the time this album came out, it may have been the one of the first electronic album to revolve around darkness, but it completely fails to be dark or frightening imo.
It actually sounds rather upbeat to me a fair amount of the time.
The only time Incubus gets slightly disturbing is the last minute or so, and I consider that a stretch, the slightly distorted females at the begining don't sound creepy at all, nor does the tribalistic beat.
An Electric Storm by White Noise is far creepier,

Thank you ... it's insane that someone has to think that something is "evil" because of the lyrics, or the picture on the cover! THAT is totally bizarre, off the wall, and one reason why we all can be fooled so damn much by advertising, to the point where ... we don't know a thing!
And we think that fear of what we don't know is the debil ... and that is not true!
Now if we're talking about the person who is intentionally hiding that truth, or feeling ... that's the old Thoth definition of the Card number 15 on the Tarot ... the one that stands in front of the light hiding it from you! And this is meant in an educational content, hiding knowledge and truth from you, not a visual content of you not getting your tan on your butt!
... none of the hits, none of the time ... now you know what the art is all about!

Gnaw Their Tongues and sometimes Abruptum absolutely. Some others I'd include would be Asmus Tietchens, Emprical Sleeping Consort, Black Mountain Transmitter, Edward Ka-Spel, Giancarlo Toniutti, Zoviet France, and H.N.A.S. Most of this stuff clearly isn't in the metal zone, and arguably not in the progressive House, but this weird ambient stuff is the creepiest stuff I can think of, and I have no respect for da rulez of da threadz coz rulez be for foolz.
Additionally, I find some of the stuff from composers like Xenakis, and Takemitsu to be quite creepy regardless of whether or not the composer intended for the pieces to be creepy. Some of this stuff can easily considered boring or downright hilarious, so I have quite a bit of respect for people who can consistently make music that is eerie and downright dodgy.

I'm obviously biased but Hibernal's "The Machine" is a concept album with a sci-fi horror theme. Lots of atmospherics and music to suit the mood. Check out "Downward" below to see what I mean.

No. NO. Tell me this is sci-fi, or a clever gag--because this is what the 'science' books look like after society decays and the knowlege of the Enlightenment, the Industrial Age, the Technical Age has been forgotten--when the technology survives the culture that created it and is inherited by barbarian minds.
this can't be real. no one is that stupid!
Obviously this is a fake.
The truly tear-jerking reality might be that it is not a joke.
Bob Jones University's press published this in 1990 for fourth graders. The kids next door, who got pulled out of school to be taught by their religious mother, could have been raised on this crap. Thank you for looking this up Albert...but I almost wish I didn't know.
Some people felt it, once. (dark humor :/ )
Seriously though? I thought I was raised on garbage but nothing like this.

People's Pharmacy: Listerine may help keep kids lice-free at camp
Q. My kids love summer camp, but last year they came home with lice. We tried three different lice shampoos and special rinses, with limited success. It took us months of treating and re-treating to get rid of the bugs.
It is almost time for my children to go off to camp this summer, and I am dreading the possibility that they will come home with lice again. Is there anything they can do to avoid catching lice?
A. Whenever kids are in close quarters, the chances of catching lice go up. Encourage your children to avoid wearing hats or helmets that anyone else has worn.
Another option would be to send them off with old-fashioned amber Listerine and suggest that they use it as a rinse after shampooing, being careful to keep it out of eyes. Fourteen years ago, we received the following message from a mom going through a somewhat similar situation at school:
"My quick remedy to prevent a lice problem is Listerine. I have tried it and am convinced that it works. Put Listerine mouthwash all over a child's head. It will smell strong until it dries, and then there is no smell. Do not rinse the hair.
"My child even slept in the same bed with another youngster who was later discovered to have lice. My child was unaffected."
Q. My acupuncturist recommended the probiotic Lactobacillus GG for my recurrent depression. After a week, it seems to be making a difference. It also has helped with my intermittent nighttime reflux. Have you ever heard of probiotics for depression?
A. A new study in the journal Gastroenterology (June 2013) suggests that your experience could be based on science. Researchers randomized healthy women to take yogurt-containing probiotics, a nonfermented milk product control or nothing at all. The women ate the yogurt or placebo twice daily. Brains were scanned with a functional MRI imaging machine before and after the intervention.
The authors concluded that four-week intake of yogurt-containing probiotics by healthy women "affected activity of brain regions that control central processing of emotion and sensation." There is growing recognition that the bacteria in our digestive tracts may play a key role in our emotional well-being and affect both anxiety and depression (Current Opinion in Pharmacology, December 2012).
To learn more about a variety of other nondrug strategies for coping with the blues, we are sending you our Guide to Dealing With Depression. Anyone who would like a copy, please send $3 in check or money order with a long (No. 10), stamped (66 cents), self-addressed envelope to: Graedons' People's Pharmacy, No. E-7, P.O.

Q. After reading about soaking smelly feet in urine, I told my 23-year-old nephew about this unorthodox approach. He had suffered with this embarrassing problem for many years.
After soaking his feet one time, the smell was gone. He has new respect for his old aunt.
A. Urine foot soaks are an old Army trick to get rid of athlete's foot or odor. A mom once shared that after convincing her 17-year-old daughter to give this remedy a try, it worked: "Her foot odor is completely gone!"

Hi all—I am doing a survey of Greek civilization (on my own, autodidact style) and I am looking for quality books on the subject. So anything excellent that pertains to the period of roughly 1200–479 BCE is what I am looking for.
So far I am using the following books as a start:
A History of the Archaic Greek World—Jonathan M. Hall
Archaic and Classical Greek Art—Robin Osborne
A History of Greek Literature—Lesky
Greek Iambic Poetry: From the Seventh to the Fifth Centuries B.C. (Loeb Classical Library No. 259) by Archilochus, Semonides, Hipponax • Douglas E. Gerber, ed.
I am also doing my own study of the Iliad and Odyssey alongside this as well as reading Hesiod.
Can anyone recommend good sources or books on anything related to the culture, art, literature or history of the period? Anything in English, German or of course classical Greek is fine. I'll even give any good French sources a spin if my language skills hold up.
Thanks for your thoughts in advance and have a super day.


text:
And I'm panicking! I only just about passed the last two and I really, really, need a high mark for this one. But I've also got Greek and some essays to write and hand in, what's the best way of revising do you think? Is it too late to start trudging through some Lingua Latina now at this late juncture?
The exam is mainly translation and parsing.

Farewell, Jacques Chirac
"All political careers end in failure," a British statesman once wisely said. Judging by the wreckage of the famous political career that ended this week, he was even wiser than he knew. With the election of a new president of France on Sunday, the lengthy professional life of Jacques Chirac -- French president for 12 years, mayor of Paris for 18 years, twice French prime minister for a total of four years -- comes to a grinding halt, apparently to the great relief of his compatriots.
In the coming weeks, there will be plenty of time to discuss the virtues and vices of his successor, President-elect Nicolas Sarkozy. But before Chirac fades from the scene altogether -- or before he becomes embroiled in corruption investigations -- I'd like to take this opportunity to recall some of the highlights of his diplomatic career. Many Americans know him only as the man who made the right decision about Iraq, albeit for the wrong reasons. But try, if you can, to leave Iraq aside: Chirac's more important diplomatic legacy lies elsewhere.
Ponder closely, for example, what Chirac has had to say on Africa, where his country has enormous influence, in many places far outweighing ours: During a visit to the Ivory Coast, Chirac once called "multi-partyism" a "kind of luxury," which his host, president-for-life Félix Houphouet-Boigny, clearly could not afford. During a visit to Tunisia, he proclaimed that since "the most important human rights are the rights to be fed, to have health, to be educated and to be housed," Tunisia's human rights record is "very advanced" -- never mind the police who beat up dissidents. "Africa is not ready for democracy," he told a group of African leaders in the early 1990s. On Britain: "The only thing they have ever done for European agriculture is mad cow disease . . . You can't trust people who cook as badly as that."
On Russia: "For his contribution to friendship between France and Russia," Chirac decorated Vladimir Putin last year with the highest order of the Legion d'Honneur, a medal reserved for the closest foreign friends of France (Churchill, Eisenhower) despite the deterioration of the Russian president's human rights record. A few weeks later, Chirac decided to hold his 74th birthday party in Riga, Latvia, after a NATO summit. He invited President Putin, disinvited President Bush and snubbed the Latvian president in the process. As the diplomatic scandal grew, the guests all begged off, and the birthday dinner never took place.
On Saddam Hussein: "You are my personal friend. Let me assure you of my esteem, consideration and bond." On Eastern Europe supporting the United States in the United Nations: "It is not really responsible behavior. It is not well brought-up behavior. They missed a good opportunity to shut up." On Iran's nuclear program: "Having one or perhaps a second bomb a little later, well, that's not very dangerous." Theoretically, Chirac was supposed to be negotiating with Iran to give up its nuclear program at the time.
On hearing a French business executive address a European summit in English: "deeply shocked," he stormed out of the room.
As I say, it's an important legacy: one of consistent scorn for the Anglo-American world in general and the English language in particular; of suspicion of Central Europe and profound disinterest in the wave of democratic transformation that swept the world in the 1980s and 1990s; of preference for the Arab and African dictators who had been, and remained, clients of France. In his later years, Chirac constantly searched, in almost all international conflicts, for novel ways of opposing the United States. All along, he did his best to protect France from the rapidly changing global economy.
It was, in other words, the legacy of a man who was deeply conservative, almost Brezhnevite in his view of the world -- so much so that the word most often used to describe his political beliefs is "stagnation." But as he leaves office, the loudest condemnation of his 12 years as head of state comes not from the outside world but from the French themselves. Don't listen to me, listen to them: After all, it is they who have just elected a man who promised to "break with the ideas, the habits and the behavior of the past."
"The French people have chosen change," Sarkozy declared during his acceptance speech Sunday night. "I will implement that change." And what they want, it seems, is a change from Chirac.
Next week: Tony Blair -- or "All political careers end in failure, Part II."

Pretty cool: an alpha image of Android 4.2 from the leaked LG Nexus device includes SELinux. "According to the layout xml, SELinux will have a status readout tacked-on to the current About Phone screen. It will now list 'SELinux Status' at the very bottom, right under 'Kernel version' and 'Build Number'. If you're wondering why there are 3 options and not just 'on' and 'off', 'Permissive' is a logging mode, which will tell you when it would have blocked something, but won't actually block things. The other key piece of information to get from the string file is that this is an optional mode, don't go around saying that Google is shutting down root functionality or anything. This is for security conscious enterprise and government-types and probably won't be enabled on consumer phones."

"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."
Wow, how do you keep your sanity. I would have told him to , as John Boner says," go fuck yourself" half way thru that. Interesting how he makes religion fit for himself...like the part where he says, "Christ did not die for everyone" and "I does not believe in free will". Which people did he die for?Also this line was interesting...God created man in his own image and man, being the gentlemen he is, returned the favor. WTF does that mean?
On January 1st, 2014, post this:Oh, the god thing. You probably meant this year, right. You said last year. But it didn't happen. So you must have meant this year. Or next. Or the one after that. Well, whatever it take to help you maintain your low level of maturity is fine with me. Good luck with that.
Anyone know how to lose those lines?
I read about 2/3 of it but I had to stop. It was aggravating that the subject jumped around so much. I wish you hadn't just accepted so much of the stuff he said and pressed him harder on other things. He changed topic so much because I don't think he had an answer... but then again I guess you wouldn't have much of a chance convincing him anyway.

Blue Valley won't be that long. We will not even be using 13-18 in this set up. It will be a much shorter course.
I'm sorry to hear that I have to buy you lunch to play a round of Disc Golf...cuz it ain't happenin'. Jeebus-Brice, people complaining about something before it even happens. It reminds me of another event I organized this year. I must not be good at this stuff.
But enough of the negativity. Let's talk about who is going to win...or lose...or how cool that logo is that I made in like 15 mins.
I know how well I shot. That's not the problem. If you have an issue with me then say something. Don't throw out my rounds and preparations because I placed ahead of you.
Instead of:
"If you build it they will come"
I think it is more like:
"If you build it, others will critique it."

Rule 81 was amended, effective March 1, 1990; _______________.
Rule 81 serves the same purpose as Rule Fed.R.Civ.P. 81, FRCivP, but deviates completely as to content and construction.
Subdivision (a) and Table A were both amended, effective March 1, 1990, to clarify that the rule is not limited to special kinds of statutory procedures but rather that it is limited to special statutory proceedings. The word change from procedures to proceedings also cleared up conflicting language in Rule 81(a) in that the term proceedings appears in the headnote but not in the text of the rule.

On Sunday at CES 2012, Toshiba rolled out a new, ultra-thin tablet with a design that's a complete about-face from the company's existing Android device—the Thrive. Dubbed the Excite X10, Toshiba's new tablet runs on a dual-core 1.2GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor. The X10 has a 1,280X800 pixel 10.1-inch display, Gorilla Glass front panel, 2MP front camera, 5MP rear camera, and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR. It will ship with Android Honeycomb. Toshiba will provide an over-the-air upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich.
At a mere 7.7mm thick, the X10 is skinnier than the Asus Transformer Prime (8.3mm), Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 (8.6mm), and Apple iPad 2 (8.8mm). But, the Excite X10's svelte design comes at a cost. Unlike the Thrive, which has full size ports, the X10 can only accommodate a Micro-HDMI port, a Micro-USB 2.0 port, and microSD card slot.
More surprising however, was the answer a Toshiba representative provided when I asked if the X10 supported 4G. According to him, Toshiba was unable to find a 4G module thin enough to fit inside the device. He said the company was working with module manufacturers and carriers to offer a 4G X10 in the future but didn't provide a time frame.
Toshiba plans to ship the Excite X10 in February, with prices starting at $529 for a 16GB model and $599 for a 32GB X10. I can't wait to get my hand on one, crack it open, and see just how cramped the Excite X10's interior really is.

From the Liverpool FC Signature Collection this is warm enough to wear while walking the dogs, yet refined enough to wear in the office, our lambswool quarter zip neck is made in England and contains our unique SPIROL® yarn. So it will always be comfortable and always retain its elegant shape, even after machine washing.
The garments in the collection are produced in the UK by knitwear experts Glenbrae, are crafted from Merino Wool and have tonal LFC embroidery to the chest.
96% Merino Lambswool, 4% Nylon.
About Glenbrae
Glenbrae are known for producing the finest hand finished 100% British knitwear, and for good reason. Their garments are a unique blend of style and substance and the technology that goes into crafting each item of knitwear is truly revolutionary. Glenbrae select only the best wool and fibres, apply unsurpassed knowledge, skill and craft and use time-honoured techniques. The result is a product that is not only luxurious, but also practical and beautifully hard wearing.
Behind Glenbrae garments lies SPIROL - a strong, fine technical yarn that is exclusively engineered at our mill here in Huddersfield. SPIROL is the perfect fusion of elasticity and sports performance. So it moves are you move, yet retains it shape and quality, thanks to parallel fibres.
With over 2 miles of yarn and more than 42,000 individual stitches, each Glenbrae garment is a true work of art. Yet, it doesn't have to be treated like one. The characteristics of SPIROL mean our garments retain their natural softness for longer, resist pilling, rarely crease and are machine washable.
About Merino Wool
Merino is a natural fibre that absorbs far more moisture than synthetic fibres. This allows it to retain up to 35% moisture without feeling uncomfortable. Wool also generates heat as it absorbs moisture, so even if your knitwear becomes damp, you stay warm and feel dry.
Merino wool is an excellent insulator that locks in body heat and creates a buffer against the cold. However, when the heat is on, it also lets your body 'breathe' and releases moisture. Merino wool absorbs potentially harmful UV-A and UV-B radiation.
Comes in presentation packaging.

Houston, without Harden, denies Clippers a nifty 50th
Houston, TX – Omer Asik had a double-double and the Houston Rockets locked down defensively in the second half to earn a 98-81 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday at Toyota Center.
Asik tallied 13 points and 12 rebounds, while Chandler Parsons, Jeremy Lin and Francisco Garcia each chipped in with 15 points to help fill the offensive void left by James Harden, who sat with a sore foot.
"I thought everyone played with a lot of effort," said Rockets coach Kevin McHale. "We were more physical after kind of getting out done physically the last couple of games. The ball really moved tonight and it was good to see that."
Carlos Delfino added 11 points as the Rockets snapped a five-game skid against the Clippers.
For the second straight night, Los Angeles was denied a franchise-best 50th win. Chris Paul had a team-high 19 points, Jamal Crawford followed with 15 and Blake Griffin scored 12 in the defeat.
"They played harder than we did," said Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro. "We were terrible, our effort was terrible, our attitude was terrible, our urgency was terrible, very disappointed."
Despite missing its leading scorer Harden, Houston managed to stay in control of the Pacific Division-leading Clippers and maintained a 55-50 lead at halftime before breaking the game open in the second half.
Parsons' triple four minutes into the third bumped Houston's edge to double- digits, and later on, contributed another during the Rockets' quarter-closing 15-4 run to create an 85-63 spread. Houston shot 11-for-19 in the period.
The Clippers were brutal offensively in the second half, failing to reach 20 points in either quarter. Houston held them to 32.5 percent shooting over the last two periods and Los Angeles never came closer than 14 points in the fourth.
The Rockets were dominant in the paint throughout, outscoring the Clippers 48-26, and Garcia's 13-point second quarter -- which included a trio of 3- pointers -- helped keep the Rockets in front over the last 8 1/2 minutes of the period.
Game Notes
The Rockets moved to 26-11 at home ... The Clippers' Matt Barnes left the game with a sprained left ankle and did not return ... Houston scored 19 points off Los Angeles' 19 turnovers ... The Rockets shot 9-for-25 from long distance.

My name is Elizabeth Fortner. I have been a resident of Dublin, GA since April 30, 2009. I live in the historic Capt Hardy Smith house in downtown Dublin. This beautiful 136 year old house was spared from demolition a little over 2 years ago when John C Hall, Jr, CPA, of Atlanta, GA purchased it. Over the past two years, the house has undergone a series of transformations. The house went from drab to strikingly beautiful. I have been fortunate enough to see the house undergo a major interior renovation which is still in progress. The house now has central air/heat and a new bathroom (complete with claw bathtub, pedestal sink, shower, utility room for a washer/dryer)with a custom made linen cabinet. The 1" white porcelain hexagon tiles set the mood for a beautiful 1920s look.
Since I moved to Dublin, my living arrangements at the Capt Hardy Smith house have been challenging at best. Now, I am living in the 21st century, complete with most of all modern amenities. The next stage of the interior renovation will focus on the back part of the house. The house is separated into two main sections by a breezway with a working well. The back part of the house has a kitchen and another room, which used to be a formal dining room, I believe. Above those two rooms, will be used for storage. Stairs will have to be built in order to utilitze that space.
The masterbedroom is 95% complete. Crown molding needs to be added/painted and the baseboard trim finished/painted. The office, is about 90% complete. Crown molding needs to be added along with priming/painting. One of the upstairs guest bedrooms WAS 100% completed, until the electricians came in and destroyed the floorboards to drill the holes for the outlets. Now, John has to go back in that room, repaint the affected areas and apply another coat of polyurethene to the floors. The front/upstairs hallway and the walls along the stairs has a beautiful shade of pastel/pale yellow paint. Interesting we chose a certain shade of yellow because when John was sanding one of the upstairs walls, he discovered a previous occupant of the house used a similar shade of yellow that we chose. We decided, lets paint the walls yellow. Just one coat is on the walls now. We plan to add another coat and add a beautiful cucumber green to the upstairs hall in places to break up the color scheme. The bannister is nantucket blue with white trim on the rails.
By the way, the house is constructed of all tongue in groove, hardwood- beadboard pine. It feels hard as a rock to the touch. You don't find beadboard of this quality today. The entire house is has all hardwood floors which we plan to preserve. Even the unusually loud sonic boom of yesterday, which came from a stray fighter jet that went out of its designated test flight path, originated from Warner Robins AFB, prompted John to call them. The noise shook the house, rattled the windows, rattled my nerves and panicked my dog. Luckily, nothing cracked. We were especially worried about the windows.
As we approach Christmas, the house is aglow with beautiful white icicle lights, white candle lights in the windows adorned with red bows for a unique look. The bushes, one on either side of the house, have white lights on them. I call it my gingerbread house. This is the first time I have been able to decorate a home, that was actually a home and not an apartment, aside from my parents home. I am very thankful to be living in this beautiful, historic home.
I have another blog, called livingindublinGA.blogspot.com that I have been using prior to the discovery of this channel. Whatever I don't post here, be sure to check that blog and scroll to the bottom of the main page and click on other blogs I am following that pertain to Dublin and the Hardy Smith House.
Thanks for reading my blog and please check back for updates. I also welcome any feedback pertaining to accuracy of my entries as I have only been a resident of Dublin since April, so I am learning about the wonderful, exciting community.

Appellate court eFiling
For appellate courts, use of the eFiling system is mandatory for attorneys filing appellate briefs, no-merit reports, petitions for review, and responses; these electronic copies are filed in addition to the paper filings. Self-represented litigants can file these documents electronically, but are not required to by the Supreme Court Rule. Appendices are optional for both attorneys and self-represented litigants.
Briefs are publicly available via the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Court of Appeals Access (WSCCA) website, while other electronically filed documents are viewable only by the attorneys or parties associated with a particular case.

The chinese markets continue to endure turbulence and without question it is clear that China's growth model has to undergo fundamental reform. This transition raises a tough challenge. Our view, currently, is that the stabilisation of commodities and margins begins in 2016, will become evident in 2017, and will become a theme in 2018. Therefore, this could be the year in which to initiate a position in emerging markets, before building a strong overweight next year ahead of enjoying the ride in 2018.
China: our longer-term perspective
Long term, most observers agree that fundamental reform – meaning increasing efficiency and productivity rather than mobilising yet more capital (mainly debt) – is essential for China's long-term future. China's growth model has to change, but the question is how to reverse the drivers of the economy: how can an economy in which investment is nearly 50% of GDP and consumption less than 40%, evolve to one in which consumption is over 60% of GDP and investment under 30%, in several years? This transition would be challenging for any leadership. The jury is out as to whether the Chinese authorities will manage it without undergoing a major crisis.
This transition raises a tough challenge, but it is further complicated by the dominance of the domestic Chinese markets by retail investors with short time horizons and few fundamental tools with which to value stocks. These investors follow momentum, whether it be the momentum of economic policy, GDP growth, earnings, or share prices. Therefore, when the government hints at stimulus, regardless of whether or not stimulus will result in better long-term prospects for the country (and it is unlikely to, given its debt to GDP ratio is nearing 300%), retail investors plunge in. On the other hand, when reforms are put forward these investors sell, since reforms spell short-term pain as excess capacity is cut, companies make staff redundant and deleveraging occurs broadly.
In developed markets and those emerging markets dominated by institutions (domestic or foreign), the dominant investor base is prepared, generally, to take short-term pain for long-term gain. In contrast, Chinese stock markets gyrate wildly at such a crossroad. Little has changed in the economic outlook for China in the past three months (it continues to slow gradually), but the mood has changed from euphoria to panic.
Is 2016 the year to build a position?
So, is it time to close your eyes and buy? Our view is that emerging markets have underperformed developed markets for the past five years because underlying companies have underperformed at the bottom line. Profitability has declined as global growth evaporated.
For emerging markets to outperform, profitability must first recover. This means profit margins need to rise, and for that to happen, wage hikes must continue to slow versus productivity improvements. This process is already underway but needs to become more evident. Second, the cycle must turn, as supply comes out of commodities and also basic goods like steel, aluminium, shipbuilding and other sectors. This process is just starting, and is unlikely to show meaningful results until next year.
We think it is fair to say that emerging markets are not yet discounting these positives. Unfortunately, they are not yet discounting all of the negatives either. At first glance, they appear very cheap. The emerging-market benchmark, at 1.2x, is now below the price-to-book valuation of 1.3x it reached in the financial crisis, and is approaching two standard deviations below its 10-year average of 1.9x. Two standard deviations would imply a further 10-15% drop. However, profitability in emerging markets is suffering, and thus the price-to-earnings ratio is less encouraging. Trading at 10.8x 2015 estimates, it is below the 10-year average of 11.7x but still less than one standard deviation below. And, looking at EV/EBITDA in order to consider the substantial increase in debt following 2008, emerging markets trade at 7.3x 2015 consensus expectations, in line with the 10-year average of 7.2x. A brighter outlook will probably require some combination of lower valuations, currency depreciation of 5%-10%, a change in the trend of US dollar strength, a bottoming of commodities markets, stabilisation of the RMB and local markets, and for corporate margins to improve. Our view, currently, is that the stabilisation of commodities and margins begins in 2016, becomes evident in 2017, and is recognised as a theme in 2018. Therefore, this year is the one in which to initiate a position in emerging markets, before building a strong overweight next year ahead of enjoying the ride in 2018.
Emerging markets: valuation in the context of debt is a key consideration
Source: Bloomberg
Periods of panic, such as now, are typically good times to look for stock ideas. While the valuation of the benchmark is not yet compelling on all measures, this type of market results in the mispricing of companies, which can provide real long-term opportunities.

U.S. Under-21 WNT Heads Into Portland Training Camp In Advance of 2007 Nordic Cup in Finland
CHICAGO (June 5, 2007) -- U.S. Under-21 Women's National Team head coach Bill Irwin will bring 24 players to a training camp in Portland, Oregon, from June 6-13 in what will be the final camp before he chooses the 2007 U.S. Nordic Cup Team, which will travel to Vassa, Finland, from July 12-25 for the annual Nordic Cup tournament.
Held in Northern Europe every summer, the USA has competed in the tournament for well more than a decade, as it has become the focus of the USA's oldest youth national team during its six-month run-up to the prestigious competition. In respond to FIFA moving oldest FIFA world championship for women from Under-19 to Under-20, this year the Nordic Cup moves from an Under-21 competition to an Under-23 tournament (it was staged as a U-20 event from 1990-1997) and Irwin will bring an 18-player roster featuring a mixture of U-21 and older players to Finland.
The USA has won eight Nordic Cup titles, including seven in a row before falling last year in the championship game to Germany. The USA won the last Nordic Cup contested in Finland in 2002, defeating Germany, 3-1 in the final.
While the Nordic Cup has long featured eight teams and three group games followed by a placement match, this year's format calls for two group games and then a placement match, giving the USA little room for error in the first round to earn a berth to the title game, which will pit the winners of Group A, featuring England, Finland and Germany, and Group B, which will feature Norway, Sweden and the USA.
The American women open with Norway on July 18 in Närpiö, followed by the match against Sweden on July 22 in Vaasa. The placement matches are on July 24. All the matches are in and around Vassa on the west coast of Finland right on the Gulf of Bothnia.
Irwin's Portland training camp roster features seven players who competed for the USA at the 2006 U-20 Women's World Championship in Russia, and several other players with extensive youth National Team experience, including defenders Kendall Fletcher (14 U-21 caps), Manya Maksoki (19 U-21 caps) and Rachel Buehler (14 U-21 caps), and midfielder Sarah Huffman (22 U-21 caps), all of whom played on the USA's 2002 U-19 team that won the first FIFA youth world championship.
"This roster is close to the team we will be taking to Finland, but there are several players not in camp that are in running and several players coming to Portland trying to show they deserve a spot on the final 18-player roster," said Irwin. "We've had some good preparation this year with matches in England and Germany, as well as the tournament in Alabama, and this group is highly motivated to go to Europe and win back the Nordic Cup."
Irwin has three attacking players who showed to be among the best in the world in their age group during their FIFA world championship experience.
Midfielder Angie Woznuk was one of the stars of the U.S. team that finished third in the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Thailand. She won the Silver Ball as the second most outstanding player and the Bronze Boot as the third leading scorer in the tournament. Forward Megan Rapinoe scored three times for the USA in Thailand and forward Danesha Adams won the Bronze Ball as the third most outstanding player at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship in Russia. All three have a smattering of caps for the full Women's National Team.
After winning its first Nordic Cup in 1997 (over Norway in Denmark), the USA has won an amazing eight out of the last 10 Nordic Cups, and seven in a row from 1999-2005. Age eligible players for the 2007 Nordic Cup are those born on or after January 1, 1984.

Members of Congress play a central role in our lives. They shape our health-care system, make crucial decisions about the U.S. economy, and represent the hopes and interests of every American in Washington. Given this fact, I'm always surprised that relatively little attention is focused on examining closely whether someone serving in or running for Congress has the personal attributes it takes to be an effective member of the institution. If someone's behavior is shady or unsavory, that will make the news.

Kurzweil MarkPro ONEi : A Digital Piano Like No Other!
The latest in electronic instrument chip technology has been in development for several years at Kurzweil R&D in Waltham, MA. This newest sound chip is used in the MarkPro Series, creating a powerful digital piano unlike any other.
Bring the Kurzweil sound to your home!
For a few decades now, Kurzweil keyboards have been used by some of the world's top artists, including Duran Duran, New Order, Van Halen, Alicia Keys, Pink Floyd, Tori Amos, Stevie Wonder and U2.
After a 1982 meeting with Stevie Wonder, in which the latter lamented the divide in capabilities and qualities between electronic synthesizers and traditional musical instruments, Kurzweil was inspired to create a new generation of music synthesizers capable of accurately duplicating the sounds of real instruments. Kurzweil Music Systems was founded in the same year, and in 1984, the Kurzweil K250 was unveiled.
The machine was capable of imitating a number of instruments, and in tests musicians were unable to discern the difference between the Kurzweil K250 on piano mode from a normal grand piano.[2] The recording and mixing abilities of the machine, coupled with its abilities to imitate different instruments made it possible for a single user to compose and play an entire orchestral piece.
Stevie Wonder (left) and Rick Wright of Pink Floyd, lovin' their Kurzweils.
With the MarkPro ONEi, you can bring the classic Kurzweil sound to your home! Years of research and analysis have gone into the original acoustic sampling creating a chip that could play and express a majestic and deep stereo sound and provide plentiful polyphony for any home.
Featuring 88 Note fully weighted hammer action with velocity sensitive adjustable keys, the MarkPro ONEi is a digital piano of great lineage. With a sound engine derived from our 2007 Electronic Musician Editor's Choice Award winning SP2X Controller, the MarkPro ONEi offers an array of performance features and superb sounds.
Expressive Sounds
The MarkPro ONEi boasts 64 incredible sounds (with latest O/S installed), including our acclaimed Triple-Strike Stereo Grand Piano, our new lush Stereo Strings, multi-strike Classic Electric Pianos (both Fender Rhodes(TM) and Wurlitzer(TM)), FM Electric Piano, Harpsichord, Brass Sections, Organs, Pads, Mallets, Guitars, Basses, Drums, Percussion, and Voices (featuring Kurzweil's outstanding Take 6 vocal samples).
20 Auto Drum Sets
20 preprogrammed drum patterns giving the user and variety of styles to play along with.
64 Voice Polyphony
64 note polyphony ensures that notes will continue sounding even under high demand performance situations.
USB Interface With Complete MIDI Functionality
The MarkPro ONEi is a full 16 channel multi-timbral device. Built-in MIDI in/out ports provide a convenient means of connecting to external MIDI devices, such as a computer sequencer, where all 16 channels can be accessed independently. In addition, the MarkPro ONEi supports MIDI system exclusive dumps for back-up and restore of song data and global settings.
Song Recorder
The MarkPro ONEi Recorder offers one Song memory comprised of a single track. One of the biggest advantages in the MarkPro ONEi recorder is that not only does it record your individual solo performances, but it also records any layered and split sound combinations together into each track and even remembers real-time sound changes.
Built-in 15 Watt Stereo Sound System
The MarkPro ONEi has is its own custom 15-watt/channel power amplifier and matched two-way, high efficiency speaker sound system, featuring new dual 6.5" full range drivers, optimized for the MarkPro ONEi cabinetry.

Early bloomers have been going wild; now's the time to tame them
If you did not get a chance to prune your plants earlier this spring, you have a second opportunity, especially for pruning crabapple, cherry and shade trees. Pruning these trees now will lessen the heavy growth of suckers originating from the base of the plants and from around the large cuts you make to prune the plant to the desirable shape. After the tree has finished its first flush of growth in the spring, the food supply it has stored in the roots and in tissues surrounding the buds is nearly exhausted. Thus, growth following summer pruning will be less vigorous, requiring less pruning later in summer to keep the desired shape.
Counter-Attack Poison Ivy
I was looking at an old copy of Bay Weekly and I read your reply to an email question concerning poison ivy. You said to spray the poison ivy with a mixture of one gallon of Roundup, a trade name for glyphosate, mixed with one teaspoon of ammonium sulfate. Is my understanding correct that if I mix one gallon of Roundup with one teaspoon of ammonium sulfate, I would have the correct mixture to attack my poison ivy problem in June when there are many leaves to absorb the mixture?
If azaleas have exceeded their desired space, cut them back severely now that they have finished flowering. Azaleas are very tough plants. Their stems are loaded with thousands of latent buds just waiting for an opportunity to initiate growth. Within two to three weeks after cutting the stems severely, you will see small green buds emerging from between the crevasses of the bark. From them numerous branches will emerge. Allow these branches to grow all summer long without additional pruning. Next spring, prune away all weak spindly branches and prune remaining branches so that the space between them is three to four inches. There will be limited flowering next year, but the plants will resume normal flowering within two years.
When it comes to pruning forsythia, summer pruning should be limited to removing one-quarter of the large woody stems with a thick covering of bark. By removing a few old branches as close to the ground as possible, you will be redirecting the nutrients being absorbed by the roots to the growth in existing stems and branches.
