I just recently finished reading 'The Leopard', the latest novel from Jo Nesbo, the Norwegian crime writer often compared to Steig Larsson. He was recently in Dublin and in conversation with Irish writer John Connolly in Easons, and I was thrilled to be able to attend and hear him speak. Also got a signed copy of 'The Snowman', so am a happy camper!
Left: Jo Nesbo signing in Easons, Dublin City Centre. (click to enlarge)
His main character is Detective Harry Hole (pronounced who-lay, one of the things I learned from listening to Jo talking), and in this latest novel he goes from Hong Kong to Oslo, to Rwanda and the Congo. I have to say I do prefer the Norwegian scenes and his portrayal of the city of Oslo and Norway in general. I like his style of writing and the plot lines, and whereas this is not my favourite Harry Hole story, it still makes excellent reading. So I can highly recommend it.
Be sure to check out Jo Nesbo in the library catalogue and get to read him if you haven't already discovered this wonderful writer. And start with the first in the series to be translated into english,'The Redbreast'. Note that the first two in the eight book series have not yet been translated into english. Jo himself said the reason they have not yet been translated is that they were not based so much in Norway, and the publishers thought it better to start with 'The Redbreast' which, they believed, would have more international appeal.
*Update, 14th December 2012.
Just to list the titles in the Harry Hole series in the order in which they were first published, together with my star ratings.
- The Bat Man (Flaggermusmannen - 1997) - not yet in english translation.
- The Cockroaches - (Kakerlakkene - 1998) - not yet in english translation.
- The Redbreast (2000, engl.transl. 2006)
- Nemesis (2002, engl.transl. 2008)
- Devil's Star (2003, engl. transl. 2006)
- The Redeemer (2005, engl. transl. 2009)
- The Snowman (2007, engl. transl. 2010)
- The Leopard (2009, engl. transl. 2011)
I can't finish this update without mentioning his latest thriller, 'Headhunters', which is not part of the Harry Hole series, but has been receiving a lot of publicity nonetheless. Much of it because it has already been turned to film (in Norwegian, subtitled in English), which I think is likely to see release in Ireland in April 2012. And would you believe it, I just today got my hands on a copy of Headhunters, so looking forward hugely to reading it as soon as I am finished my current book ('A Thousand Splendid Suns').

I just finished Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed. It's quite a simple story, at essense. There's something very young-adult feeling about the worldbuilding and plot, and it's not clear this is intentional. It's fine, if you like sword and sorcery, but underwhelming, not really bringing anything new to the table.

I hear you. I kept stopping and wondering what the hell I'd gotten. Seemed so kiddie, until it got violent. Stylistically, the writing, reminded me of my own as a teenager. But I kept trying, cause hey, ghouls. Always found those things creepy. I dropped it as soon as Kearney's Kings of Morning auto-delivered to my iPad though.

Next I read the World of Null-A and the Transfinite collection by van Vogt. I've now read two novels and two collections by him, and based on the meager sample size, I'd say he's much stronger in the short form. Null-A had interesting aspects in it but Gosseyn was far too much a pawn for the novel to be really grabbing. Transfinite I enjoyed very much. I like his style.
I also read the Caves of Steel and the Naked Sun by Asimov. Light, very enjoyable reading. I think I'll look up the third novel sooner than I expected to do so.

Next up: Kraken by China Miéville. I have literally NO idea what to expect, so it should be interesting.
Is Unseen Academicals gonna be Terry Pratchet's last book, because of his increasing illness? I've got myself up to "Pyramids" and eventually gave up after this book. Every separate book in Discworld series is hilarious and well written, but when you read them in succession, they are becoming a bit repetitive (of cause each time it's a new country/scenery/time span, but overall after "Wyrd sisters" it's started being familiar). Should I give this one a chance?

I hope it won't be his last, but I don't know if he's said. I believe he's planning on writing until he can't.
Agree that reading them in succession is not the best way. They stand alone so well, I'd recommend going on to something else and revisiting Discworld when you have a hankering. I've been reading his books off and on for over a decade and I still have new ones to discover.
Posted 06 March 2012 - 11:27 AM
@ Rattlehead, there's no reason why you should read Pratchett in order - the first few are the weakest. But you are getting to the part where he starts to really find his feet. That said, I wouldn't recommend reading loads in a row anyway: as you say, there are definite repeating patterns that probably get more noticable if you don't take breaks between, though as I say he gets a bit more confident as he goes on.

I swear I am the only one in the world that ranks Hogfather among the weaker entries. I am rereading it soon to see if it gets better over time. It has been a while.
edit: Oh, and I finished a reread of Practical Demonkeeping, Forgot how short Moore's early books were.
Now I once again don't know. More trash fiction or something deeper? Ill decide before work tomorrow.

Im currently reading Atonement by Ian M. I was initially interested in it after seeing keira knightly's cover on the book,but after going on wiki and seeing that the author's actually supposed to be really good,i decided to buy it.
Finished part 1(roughly 180 pages),so far so good.
Btw those who are thinking of buying "white tiger",dont.Its a highly depressing book with some really disgusting moments and the main protagonist really screws up in the end(you will end up hating him rather than sympathising with him).I know its meant to be a "wake-up" call to Indians,but there's a limit to the dark stuff..
IMO,chetan bhagat does it in a much more eloquent manner in the book "3 mistakes of my life"

Bellis, on 05 March 2012 - 10:38 PM, said:
Me three, (i've got a bit to go yet though.) The main character is fairly interesting, which is the saving grace of the book, but it's a long strech from a character piece and otherwise both the plot and the worldbuilding are a bit thin. I think it kind of aspires to have a very urban, city-as-character vibe too, and it's really not hitting it for some reason, despite valiant efforts. It's a pretty good slightly YA sword and scorcery popcorn sort of book, but not anything more.
I can't help but think a lot of the hype came from the Middle Eastern setting, and I may be casting a jaundiced eye on that for my own reasons, but thats still not really enough, y'know? I keep nitpicking. Who is the Khalif actually Khalifing? Why is he 'the Khalif' if theres no mention of a prophet or a similarly important temporal figure that he's actually filling in for? It's not bad, per say, it's not like European culture doesn't get similarly hodgepodged for shoddy fantasy worldbuilding, it's just that it's still a bit shoddy even if it's un-European worldbuilding. All these bedouin sayings and 'khalifs' and 'dervishes' and so on just don't add up to any genuine sense-of-place somehow, Middle Eastern or anywhere else.
ETA - Oh, I have to say this - I loathe the weird thing they did with turning arabic letters upside down and back to front and so on on the map. I spent like half an hour staring at it in confusion.
ETA2 - before someone nitpicks me, I checked and the term Khalif apparently is more like being a member in a chain of moral/religeous authority (rather than merely a political sovreign) stretching back to Muhammad, rather than literally 'filling in', so I guess it's possible the Khalif here has a similar sort of role without necessarily having that antecendent, but it still feels thin to me.

how did practical demonkeeping hold up to the reread, SJ?? i've always claimed it was my fave besides for lamb and was thinking of going through it again. so many books, so little time and all of that.

To be fair, the only way it could be considered darker and more depressing than authors who are very popular among this board's members, like Abercrombie or Bakker, is that it's concerned with the real world.
That and the first person may make it more visceral, but Prince of Thorns got good reviews here too and that's first-person and really fucked up...
Posted 07 March 2012 - 12:31 PM
Interesting book, definetly an improvement from the first. Don't know why but it reminds me of Martin at the time when he wrote ACOK.
Not the prose but the way he builts the characters. But I have one minor question. How does Ferro know that the others are pink if she can't recognize coulors. Now onto Last Arguement of Kings

No, Night Watch is newer. It's been years since I read any Pratchett but the way I remember it, Night Watch was darker and relied more on a good story than wittycisms than his previous novels. The Hogfather I can hardly remember by now, and perhaps I will ruin it for me the day I reread it, but for now it is my #1 Discworld novel.

By Karlene Dillon
The first day we met was like no other, it was at the homecoming dance at our school. I had just transferred at the begging of senior year and I clung to my best friend like a child because I didn't know anyone else. We started to dance around the room and I was having so much fun. Then a slow song came on, my friend quickly ran to her boyfriend and I was left alone.
It was the smile that got me, the way it lit up the room. It seemed to captivate those around him. Everyone was so entranced by him yet he was staring in the distance at someone new no one had ever seen before, me. It was like the whole room was stuck on fast forward and the two of us were happily moving at our own pace. He made his way over and reached out his hand, I thought this was odd, such a formal greeting, but I took it nonetheless. He smiled once more and said "Hello my name is James, and who might you be?"
I swear my heart stopped right then and there but I managed to say, "Caroline, Caroline O'Leary."
It all seemed to happen so fast after that first meeting. From the first time our lips met on that warm summers day under the oak tree at the park those three meaningful words that changed me forever I had never been happier. I was only 17 and yet I felt like I had found the one who I could spend eternity with. We spent our days running around and acting like two crazy kids in love and our nights cuddled under the stars telling stories until we fell asleep.
After we graduated high school I went on to college to become a nurse and he joined the Marines. A very noble thing to do everyone said, but I was always weary of it knowing that we were in the midst of a war and he could be sent to defend this country. I would always joke that we would move to Canada if this ever happened, become outlaws running from the United States Marines. He would always laugh and tell me how crazy I was but that he would gladly be the Clyde to my Bonnie.
After two years I got my nursing degree and started working at the children's hospital in town near the base. I would read stories and bring them stuffed animals I always wanted to make sure that they weren't bored; a hospital wasn't exactly the most exciting place for a kid to be after all. James would come visit me on his lunch break and would come in his full camoflauge uniform which the kids loved. He would tell them over exaggerated stories about how he saved the president and their favorite was of course the time when he saved Elmo and Big Bird from Oscar the grouch's evil army with me as his sidekick. They were practically on the edge of their seats as we told the story.
Sometimes Frankie would come with James too, Frankie is James' best friend they have known each other since grade school they were practically inseparable. When James and I started dating, Frankie and his now fiancé would always double date with us, the four of us were unstoppable. Stacy, Frankie's fiancé works at a coffee shop down the street from the children's hospital so I had lunch with her too when I could.
"Hey honey! How was work?" I said happily putting our plates out on the table for dinner.
"It was great. Me and the buddies got to go to the shooting range on our break so it was fun." I noticed a hint of bleakness in his voice, but I was too excited to tell him about the wonderful news I found out today that I didn't press it. "Carol. I uh I need to tell you something." James whispered barely audible enough for me to hear.
"Oh! Me too, but you go first." I responded still giddy. I could barely contain the excitement for what I was about to tell him.
"Well the Colonel came to talk to us today. Well you know how bad it's been getting in Afghanistan right?" My heart sank all that ran through my mind was No. Please no not right now. "Well they need more help right now, especially from guys in my field of training. I won't be where the action is happening just on the border of Iraq and Afghanistan in fact I'll probably be bored out of mind fun lack of action." James laughed half heartedly, trying to make light of the situation. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.
"When?" I choked out.
"I have a month I leave on the 28th of June. It won't be that bad baby I promise I will be back in a year and a half. I will write, call, send a damn carrier pigeon if I have too. I promise that we will always be in contact and I will stay safe." He assured in his military voice, fearless and strong ready to face anything that came at him. I felt the room get heavier it felt like everything was spinning I couldn't keep my mind straight. James brought me to the couch and held me as I tried to comprehend the situation that had just happened. "Enough of this we will talk more about it in the morning, what is it that you wanted to tell me?"
I couldn't even imagine telling him the news now after something so solemn but I managed to put on my best smile "I'm three weeks pregnant, you're going to be a daddy." His face lit up immediately. He kissed me with so much farce I nearly fell off the couch.
"I'm going to be a dad! Holy crap! We are going to have a kid!" He exclaimed. He jumped off the couch and spun me around in his arms. If the room wasn't spinning before is sure was now. I was so happy he was excited but I couldn't help but think that he wouldn't be there when he or she was born.
The next few weeks he went to every doctor's appointment with me, getting so excited at every ultra sound seeing our baby grow inside me. He visited me at every lunch break and anytime he could get the Colonel to let him go off base. He even turned his office into a baby room, complete with changing table and crib all built by him and his friends. He went to Babys'R'Us almost every day buying something new to add to the room, never quite satisfied with the finished product.
"We will wait to paint the room until I get back so that way if the baby's a boy we can give him a manly jungle room or if it's a girl a pretty princess room. We can even make her a little castle doll house to play with when she gets older or him a race track for all his little hot wheels and toy monster trucks." He said on the last day he had to fix up the room and make it perfect. I always thought it was funny how he referred to our possibly little boy as manly but I loved how he could barely contain how excited he was.
Even the children I worked with at the hospital were excited. They were so fascinated when I told them I was going to have a baby they all said they couldn't wait to meet him or her. They even started drawing pictures to put up in the baby room. I couldn't wait to bring the baby in so they could all meet him or her. I had always loved the kids at the hospital and I was more than excited, words can't even describe how excited I was about having a little one on the way.
As we were sitting in the hanger waiting for the planes to come I stood there hugging him as tightly as I possibly could. "I am going to be okay sweetie, I promise. I am going to come back and we are going to get married and grow old in our rockers together like I've always told you. I love you so damn much." Those words should of comforted me but all I could think was I'm not going to wake up to him anymore. I'm not going to get a good morning kiss every day.
"I love you too. Please try to call when you get to Germany before you get on the plane to Iraq." The tears were starting to run down my cheeks as I suggested, "You think if we ran right now they would notice? We could go to Canada. What do you say Clyde?" I tried my best to smile through the tears and even managed a little laugh remembering our joke.
James laughed and held me to his chest. God, I'm going to miss that laugh. I could hear the steady pace of his heart beat and feel his fingers glide across my back, up and down my sides, and play with my hair. He knelt down and kissed my tummy then carefully pressed his hand on the bump forming. "Daddy will be back soon." He said then kissed my belly once more and rose to face me eye to eye. "I will be back soon, you will be back in my arms before you know it, well both of you will be in my arms." He proclaimed gesturing to my belly again and kissing me lightly on the lips and wiping the tears from my eyes.
As we said our final goodbyes and had our last tentative kiss I held him tighter for fear that this might be the last time I feel him in my arms. When he turned to walk away I silently screamed for him to run back to me and never leave my side. I watched the plane take off and I was frozen there for a few moments. Numb to what was going on around me I couldn't believe that you had left and wouldn't be there tomorrow. They say that distance makes love stronger but I really didn't want to test that out this way.
Working at the hospital did help the time go by faster though, all of the children kept me more than busy. They were filled up to the brim with questions after every phone call I had with James. Once I set up the Web-Cam on the big screen in the play room for the kids and they got to talk to Frankie and James. They were all so happy to see their heroes.
Now our beautiful daughter is sitting in her crib waiting for her daddy to return home so she can finally meet him. I put up pictures of him all over her room in hopes that she might recognize her father when he finally returns to us. She is so gorgeous, Samantha, has his eyes and dimples I can't help but see his face when I look at her. I lay in our bed waiting for the next letter to come, holding on to any remnant of you that I still have left. It has been 1 year 3 months and 19 days since he left. Only a few more months to go and I get to see him again. He will finally get to meet his daughter.
I had the most amazing dream last night and I swear I saw him next to me in our bed. I could feel the warmth of his hand as he caressed my cheek and the familiar softness of his lips and he kissed me. It all seemed so real, he was dressed in his marine uniform. The camouflage slightly dirty from a hard day's work, it looked like he had a dark stain on his left shoulder I guessed it was probably oil from one of the vehicles he worked on. In the dream he told me how much he loved me and our daughter and how he couldn't wait to meet her one day, then he wrapped his arms around me and I fell back asleep in my dream. It had felt so real I had half expected to see him in the morning next to me in our bed.
Walking away from her and getting on the plane had to be one of the hardest things I had to do in my life. I hated how I had to leave her especially with a baby on the way, but I knew this came with being a marine. First ones out to fight luckily for me I was a mechanic so I wouldn't see any major action. I would spend most of my days fixing up the various vehicles and wondering what she's doing. A year and a half and I would be back, I chose to take no leave or vacation days so I could get back faster. I thought this would be a better idea but as this plane takes me father away I start to realize how long a year and a half really is. Our baby will be almost a year old by then.
I hope we have a boy I'll get to teach him how to play catch, how to shave, and how to be a gentleman to girls. A baby girl would be nice too though, she would be my princess I would let her get away with anything except when she starts dating I will rip any guys head off who treats my baby girl anything less than the princess that she will be. I was lost in these thoughts when we landed in Germany.
"I'm going to go find a pay phone so I can call Carol" I told Frankie.
Frankie has been my best friend since I can remember he was the reason I joined the marines we had made a pact in 9th grade that we would join together, at that time it was cause we thought girls would find it sexy, but by the end of high school it turned into something we actually wanted to do for ourselves.
After searching I finally found a pay phone and dialed her number. She answered after the second ring.
"Hello?" she said groggily. I had forgotten that it was almost 3 in the morning back there.
"Hey baby I landed in Germany." She seemed to wake up at the sound of my voice
"James! I'm sorry I didn't know it was you." she exclaimed "How was the flight?"
"It was alright, long but there was no turbulence so it wasn't that bad. I miss you already, how are you?"
"I miss you too. It's nice hearing your voice though thank you for calling me maybe now I can get a good night's sleep I've been tossing and turning for the past couple of hours." She said obviously exhausted.
"I'm sorry, my plane doesn't leave for another hour or so, we can stay on the phone until I have to leave or you fall asleep which ever happens first."
The next hour went by too quick, she didn't fall asleep on the phone but she promised she would sleep as soon as we hung up. I reluctantly hung up the phone and walked to the terminal of the plane that was going to bring me to Iraq where I would then be transported to our base in Afghanistan by armored car.
I don't think it hit me that I wasn't in the U.S. anymore until about a week after I had got to the base. When I first got a chance to call her again, hearing her voice for the first time in a week made my stomach drop. We talked about mundane things, mostly about what she was doing and how the check up for the baby went.
"We are going to have a girl" I could almost hear the giant smile on her face as she spoke.
As soon as I got off the phone with Caroline I ran to go find Frankie. I found him under the hood of a car.
"I'm having a girl!" I exclaimed barely able to contain myself.
He punched my shoulder and said with a smile, "I really hope she gets all of Carol's genes cause lord knows no one wants your ugly face."
I fell asleep that night thinking a baby girl, my little princess. She is going to be so beautiful like her mommy. God I can't wait to meet her.
The next few months went by painfully slow. I had my routine every day I thought I was going to go crazy from doing the same exact thing. Then I got the message from the colonel, Carol had gone into labor.
Her mom set up the web cam in the hospital room so I could see Caroline and our beautiful daughter after she gave birth. I was right they both looked so beautiful; I couldn't stop staring at my daughter. She was my daughter; I couldn't even wrap my mind around that. It all seemed so surreal.
"She has your eyes babe, big and brown she's definitely going to be a heart breaker when she gets older" Carol chuckled.
"As long as she's not the one with the broken heart I'm fine with it. We made one hell of a beautiful daughter honey." I noted. I sat staring at the computer screen for a few minutes after they had both dosed off wishing I could be there to hold them, my beautiful girls.
It's been 1 year 3 months and 18 days since I left the U.S. only a few more months to go and I will finally be back with my girls. Since the birth of Samantha, Carol has been sending me pictures of her once a week its crazy how much she has grown in just a few months, every new picture I get she looks so much older. She is starting to grow blonde hair like her mom, Carol was right she's going to be a heart breaker.
Today we had to help some guys transport a tank to a different base. We had done this a few times so I knew the protocol; I had to have my weapon on me at all times. We had to go through an Iraqi town and they were always unpredictable when it came to seeing U.S. soldiers. Sometimes they loved us and brought food and other gifts like we were sent from heaven and other times they looks at us like we were sent from the deepest part of hell.
I got dressed and finished cleaning my gun when Frankie came in and said it was time to go. It was about an hour's drive through the town then another half an hour till we got to the base we were delivering to. Thankfully I got the front seat so I wouldn't be cramped in the back. Everything was going as normal until we hit a roadblock in the middle of town. We started to go around it, then everything got hazy. All I remember is a bright flash, screaming and the loudest ringing in my ears that I could ever imagine. Then everything went black.
I woke up in my bathroom at home; I was so confused This must be a dream. I thought that until I stared at my reflection in the mirror it was foggy like someone had taken a blurry picture of me. A candle was lit in the room so I could see the wound on my chest, it stained my suit a deep red. A shiny piece of shrapnel was sticking out of the wound. No this can't be happening. I just became a Daddy I haven't even met my daughter yet.
I walked into mine and Caroline's bedroom and saw her laying there so peaceful in her sleep. I lyed down next to her and kissed her cheek to wake her up.
"James? What are you doing here?" she said half asleep.
"Shhhh sweetie it's just a dream." I said trying to make my last moments count.
"I miss you so much James, will you stay with me tonight? Why are you in your uniform? Oh gosh you're even messy in my dreams, you got oil all over the left side of your uniform." She laughed. God, I'm going to miss that laugh.
"Caroline, you know I love you and Sammy so much right? And I always will no matter what happens. I will always be here for you guys in your hearts. I can't imagine a day without you."
"Of course I know that honey, I love you so much."
With that I wrapped my arms around her, kissing her neck gently and stayed with her until she fell asleep peacefully in my arms. After I was sure that she fell asleep I made my way to Samantha's room. Everything was just how I had laid it out when I first found out we were going to have a baby. I leaned over her crib and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"Daddy loves you baby girl." I spoke softly to not wake her up.
I made my way back into our room so I could spend the last moment of my time on earth sleeping with Caroline.

A hard one. There was a Czech virtuoso violinist (1913-1966), one of the best of the Czech violin school, who made between 1956-1958 a recording of the complete Paganini's 24 caprices. It was one of the best of that work, but very few know it, and the man was forgotten except to violin or Paganini experts. Do you know who he was?
Czech violinist, professor, mentor and composer (1883-1950). He left many short romantic pieces for the violin, seldom played outside his country. There's an international violin contest with his name. Foremost Czech virtuoso was his pupil. Who was this guy?

1. | Mustache Catch | ||
When a homosexual man (Fag, homo, gay, etc...) is performing oral sex on another man... Now if you are a good partner, you will take it in the mouth and swallow it down... But we all know, that every now and then, ejaculations don't go exactly where we aim them... Thats where the muctache catch comes in... A good gay partner will ALWAYS have a full mustache on his upper lip... That way, if theres some straggling squirts during ejaculation, it will be conveniently caught in the mustache, which can easily be transfered to the mouth with a quick swipe of the tongue... YUMMY! "Wow, I'm sure glad Steve had the mustache catch in his arsenal! If he didn't we woulda had a HUGE mess!"
"Say what you will about Alice, I KNOW she's not a looker, BUT she had the best mustache catch EVER! I swear, it caught the whole load, and held it there till she could swallow it all!" "I had an AMAZING bonding moment with my love, Albert last night! He caught my load in his mustache catch, and I licked it off... Wow, do I taste GOOD!" "MmMm, look at hus mustache catch! I bet it could hold a GALLON!" |

2 jailed in Linda man's beating
Two people are behind bars in Yuba County, accused of beating a Linda man with a purse and possibly a tree branch.
David Leroy Osbourn and Dusty Nicole Younger were arrested Thursday in Marysville, Sheriff Steve Durfor said Friday in a press release.
Osbourn, 23, was booked into the Yuba County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the assault on Linda's Stephen Gilbert on Wednesday.
Osbourn, a parolee, is being held without bail, according to jail records.
Gilbert, 39, remains in critical condition at Rideout Regional Medical Center, a hospital official said Friday.
Younger, 25, of Linda is accused of striking Gilbert with her purse.
She was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Her bail was set at $30,000.
Investigators believe Osbourn struck Gilbert multiple times with a blunt instrument, possibly a tree branch, Lt. Damon Gil said.
Gilbert was involved in a dispute Wednesday night with an unidentified woman in the 1600 block of Hammonton-Smartville Road in east Linda when Osbourn and Younger allegedly tried to intervene, the Sheriff's Department said.
No other injuries were reported.
Osbourn's most recent criminal conviction in Yuba County came in 2011 when he pleaded guilty to an attempted burglary charge and was sentenced to a year in the county jail, according to court records.

Termidor H·E High-Efficiency Termiticide Copack with Termidor HE Technology is the next generation of innovation from BASF.
Termidor HE Tutorial BASF has created a tutorial with more information about Termidor H·E High-Efficiency Termiticide Copack with Termidor HE Technology. Click on the below image to access the tutorial or here.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — BASF Pest Control Solutions today announced it has received federal registration for its new termiticide, Termidor H·E High-Efficiency Termiticide Copack with Termidor H·E Technology. Termidor HE Copack is the next generation of innovation from BASF, giving Pest Management Professionals (PMPs) productivity gains with a formulation and application standard that can result in 50 percent less water usage and 33 percent less labor.*
"Termidor HE Copack is truly an industry breakthrough that saves time, labor, and requires less water, yet still delivers the unmatched protection of Termidor," said Dan Carrothers, business manager for BASF Pest Control Solutions. "This unique formulation and application for treating for termites allows PMPs to make productivity gains which will afford them greater flexibility, efficiency and opportunities to increase profits within their own operations, and BASF is pleased to deliver this to our customers."
Termidor HE Copack expands upon the proven Termidor SC formulation with the addition of a BASF proprietary molecule that temporarily "boosts" the transport of fipronil, the active ingredient in Termidor, into the soil and creates an enhanced protection zone around the structure being treated. Benefits can include applying 50 percent of the water, and thus half the finished solution of a typical Termidor PerimeterPlus application.* It also requires 77 percent smaller trenches and allows for wider hole spacing so the job can be done in about half the time of traditional jobs.
Use of Termidor HE Copack can provide additional benefits to PMPs including less physical exertion and savings on long-term fixed costs of drill bits, rods and fuel. Termidor HE Copack will receive state registrations in 2012, and will be on sale this May.

I just love the brass sound in the video with the Japanese guy.
I guess one EG is routed to the pitch or is it some glide function? How many EG's does the AN1X have anyway? |

AN1x has four EGs total - two standard ADSR, one simple decay envelope for pitch, and one freehand envelope (which can be completely free-time or tempo synced). |

I have owned an AN1x for years, and I simply adore it. I will admit that in my opinion most modern VST synths can sound better; for all practical purposes my VSTs Z3ta+ and Rhino 2 between them can do pretty anything the AN1x can soundwise. However, my blue baby has a special place in my heart - certainly for the money there is absolutely nothing else in hardware that can touch it. It's fifteen years old this year, and it just keeps going while my computer is crashing, overheating, suffering from data corruption or software incompatibility, just making the most wonderful sounds. It is a very expressive controller, with its grainy but functional aftertouch sensitivity, five-octave keyboard, splendid ribbon controller and chunky, no-nonsense expression wheels. Its synth control matrix would be the envy of even some of my newer VSTs and if you go exploring, you will find some sounds buried in the nooks and crannies of its FM and sync sub-oscillator routing that you'd be very unlikely to find anywhere else. This is a very thoughtfully designed musical instrument and it also boasts one of the best-written manuals I have ever seen for a piece of music technology - or indeed any piece of technology.
There is a downside.. don't let its plastic case fool you, this thing weighs almost 8kg without case or accessories... no fun to lug to a gig! Also, sadly, on my instrument the velocity sensitivity is rather mediocre which can make it frustrating to use as an all-round control keyboard. Whatever its flaws, the AN1x has a unique charm and I love it. |

Over here ribbon is much more grainy than aftertouch, really... :/ Can't say I find the ribbon usable at all. Doesn't snap back to the parameter value it's supposed to.
Still, absolutely love the sound. It kills. |

the an1x was not modelled on a prophet 5? |

Nope. That was Nord Lead. |

I used to have a few EX5's which have the AN modelling in them and they were great..
In fact - I still have one,but I don't use it anymore... I have been able to emulate some of my favourite AN sounds in Rapture and I'm sure that I could get the same results in Zebra... |

EvilDragon, at a risk of getting off-topic, the ribbon controller might be grainy but I find it extremely useful all the same. This is because it allows you to 'jump' from one parameter value to another very quickly in a way that you can't with a knob or a wheel. Try setting it to control the filter cutoff on a lead or brass sound. Place one finger towards the left of the ribbon and tap another finger hard towards the top of the ribbon. I find I can make punchy, bouncy, expressively rhythmic sounds that way that are almost impossible to achieve otherwise, at least not on-the-fly.
If you want the ribbon to reset to the centre when you remove your finger, use the control matrix to set it to control pitch and it will do so. If you want that behaviour without controlling pitch, use a matrix slot to set it to control pitch but with a depth of 0 (there are a few rather unintuitive oddities to the synth and this is one of them). The benefit of using the ribbon to control pitch is that, again, you can jump up and down quickly with a tap of the finger. I find this useful to emulate the expressive techniques used by folk flautists and pipers playing dance music. That ribbon is one of the major reasons I would have difficulty replacing the AN1x as a control keyboard.. I love my dancy rhythms! |

Well, I'm referring to factory patches. For example, 004, that great brass sound. Try sweeping the ribbon upwards, and then release it. Initially very bright brass sound becomes very muffled after you release it, because filter cutoff seems to go way down. That's unacceptable ribbon behavior to me. I would have expected that the sound would sound THE SAME as it sounded when the patch was initially loaded. |

YA, I know, I'm REALLY of topic now, but you can get the ribbon elsewhere... along with a joystick, sliders, knobs, etc etc etc. Perfect for a DAW and about $200-$300 used on Ebay.
