Feature Article: Two Boys | Two Boys Minisite | Buy Two Boys TicketsInterview with Nico Muhly | Nico Muhly in Conversation with Adam Gopnik
A list of composer Nico Muhly's work—whose opera Two Boys has its Met premiere this October—reads like a mash-up of several different, incredibly curious, highly generative, and improbably busy people. One might stumble upon his choral writing in a morning service at St. Thomas Church on the Upper West Side. Or hear his score while seeing a performance at the Paris Opéra Ballet, or while watching a film like The Reader, starring Kate Winslet. Or happen upon Muhly and a friend performing a four-hand organ concert at Westminster Abbey. He's written a range of concert works for such artists as countertenor Iestyn Davies, violinist Hilary Hahn, the New York Philharmonic, and pianist Simone Dinnerstein. At the same time, he has collaborated as an arranger and conductor for Jónsi, Bryce Dessner and Sufjan Stevens, Antony and the Johnsons, and Glen Hansard. His collaborators range from designer and illustrator Maira Kalman to choreographer Benjamin Millepied. And then there's Philip Glass: while studying at Juilliard and Columbia, Muhly cut his teeth in Glass's studio, working as a MIDI programmer and editor for six years. The 32-year old artist spoke with the Met's Elena Park about composers, composing, and Two Boys.
Would you be able to characterize your musical style?That's always a difficult question. What I can always answer is what music sort of thrills me. It's the music of Orlando Gibbons, William Byrd, Thomas Tallis. It's Stravinsky—something like The Rake's Progress occupies this very strange intersection between something very old and something radically new, and you don't quite know on which side of the lintel you are. And then, the music of the American minimal tradition of the '60s and '70s—La Monte Young and Terry Riley and Philip Glass and Steve Reich and, of course, John Adams who both comes from and doesn't come from that tradition. I grew up with a sense that the only thing that mattered in music was [Adams's] The Death of Klinghoffer as a sort of synthesis of and departure from so many things that had come before it. It's all a process. So, to come back to your question about style, it's not something that anyone needs to give a name to until you're dead. And it's better not to do it while you're alive, if you can avoid it!
You compose a wealth of choral music, which seems to hark back to the early masters of the 16th and 17th centuries.When I was eight or nine, my family lived in Providence, Rhode Island. And there was, for no good reason, a very, very wonderful Anglican church that had a great music program and a very ambitious music director. One of the best ways to make kids know how to do something is to not pretend like it's hard or special. Just be like, "This is the time of year when you all sing all this Orlando Gibbons… This
is the time of the year when you sing this penitential Thomas Tallis that will never end." Music of the English Renaissance and Tudor Music has been a cantus firmus through everything I do, not just musically, but also as a sort of philosophy of how to make music and think of yourself as a composer. That is something I think I share with Britten—he wanted to be a composer of useful music. He wanted the music that he wrote to be part of the community that
he inhabited.
For Two Boys, you've said you borrowed structural ideas from Purcell (including repetitive bass structures and four giant passacaglias) and described Britten's music as "a building block."In Britten's operas, there's always this element of sexual longing and non-sexual longing co-existing, and it's always shrouded in mystery: what really is
the emotional engine that drives Claggart in Billy Budd? Why does Oberon want the Indian Boy in Midsummer? There's also this kind of melancholy that pervades Britten's work both for the stage and for the church. One of the ways he gets at this is through the voices of children. There's an awareness that something goes directly to the heart of a listener if you have a boy soprano intone something; it unlocks the emotional realm of the piece. And then, at the very end of his life, when Britten was writing Death in Venice, he looks toward Balinese music. The last eight bars of the score is this sort of gamelan scale that vanishes as Tadzio goes off. And I thought that, for my purposes in Two Boys, that's a really interesting way to de-electrify the world of the Internet, instead of it sounding electronic. There's a lot of wonderful electronic music in opera, that apocalyptic thing that happens at the end of [Adams's] Doctor Atomic is one of my favorite things in the world. But for me, it was about making the Internet be this kind of organically crafted thing that relates to the music of Britten. The chorus music is simultaneously referencing the Tudor masters as well as this sort of late-Britten exoticism, which, I think, is a coded high-five, as it were, into the past.
You said that composer Philip Glass, who's been
a mentor to you, gave you some "super practical words of wisdom."When I starting writing Two Boys, I called up Philip and asked him what to do. Everything he says is very practical, which I love. He's written, like, 40 operas
or something—some outrageous number. The most helpful thing was telling me how to be clear about what I needed in a libretto. The good news about opera is that the libretto does not need to do all the work. In point of fact, one word sung beautifully can contain in it five other big ideas that you would, in a play, have to actually say. And this was something that Craig and I found very easily: a way to divide up the work that the text would have to do and then what the music would have to do. Another really amazing piece of advice I got was from John Corigliano and Mark Adamo. Their thing was just: "Get the structure under your grip. Don't let this thing burst out of control. And make sure you know exactly what's going on."This interview was first published in the Met's Season Book in September 2013.

Gov. Jerry Brown is leading the charge for Proposition 30, which is a merger of two previously competing initiatives; the "Millionaire's Tax" and Brown's First Tax Increase Proposal.[2]
Provisions of Proposition 30 include:
- Raises California's sales tax to 7.5% from 7.25%, a 3.45% percentage increase over current law. (Under the Brown Tax Hike, the sales tax would have increased to 7.75%)[3][4]
- Creates four high-income tax brackets for taxpayers with taxable incomes exceeding $250,000, $300,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000. This increased tax will be in effect for 7 years.[3][5][6]
- Imposes a 10.3% tax rate on taxable income over $250,000 but less than $300,000--a percentage increase of 10.6% over current policy of 9.3%. The 10.3% income tax rate is currently only paid by taxpayers with over $1,000,000 in taxable income.[7].
- Imposes an 11.3% tax rate on taxable income over $300,000 but less than $500,000--a percentage increase of 21.5% over current policy of 9.3%.
- Imposes a 12.3% tax rate on taxable income over $500,000 up to $1,000,000--a percentage increase of 32.26% over current policy of 9.3%.
- Imposes a 13.3% tax rate on taxable income over $1,000,000--a percentage increase of 29.13% over current "millionaires tax" policy of 10.3%.
- If this proposition is passed in November, 2012, the income tax will apply retroactively to all income earned or received since the first of the year (1 January, 2012).
- Based on California Franchise Tax Board data for 2009[8], the additional income tax is imposed on the top 3% of California taxpayers.
Estimated revenue from Proposition 30 vary from Jerry Brown's $9 billion estimate to the $6.8 billion estimated by the non-partisan Legislative Analysts Office (LAO).[9]. The difference stem for the volatility caused by capital gains income from high-income earners, an issue in California's tax system previously identified by the Legislative Analysts Office (LAO).[10]
Text of measure
The state's official voter guide includes two summaries for each statewide ballot measure. One summary, in bullet-point format, appears in the long-form description of each measure. A shorter form of the summary appears on the ballot label in the front of the voter guide, where there is a short description of each measure.
The long-form summary for Proposition 30 says:
The short-form (ballot label) summary for Proposition 30 says:
|"Increases taxes on earnings over $250,000 for seven years and sales taxes by ¼ cent for four years, to fund schools. Guarantees public safety realignment funding. Fiscal Impact: Increased state tax revenues through 2018–19, averaging about $6 billion annually over the next few years. Revenues available for funding state budget. In 2012–13, planned spending reductions, primarily to education programs, would not occur."
Fiscal impact
(This is a summary of Proposition 30's estimated "fiscal impact on state and local government" prepared by the California Legislative Analyst's Office and the Director of Finance.)
Constitutional changes
If Proposition 30 is approved, it will change the California Constitution. It will do this by adding a proposed new Section 36 to Article XIII of the California Constitution.
Supporters include:
- Jerry Brown
- League of Women Voters of California[11]
- California Democratic Party[12]
- California Teachers Association (CTA)
- California State Council of Service Employees (SEIU)
- California School Employees Association (CSEA)
- American Federation of Teachers (AFT)
- California Federation of Teachers (CFT)
The arguments in favor of Proposition 30 in the state's official voter guide were submitted by:
- Jennifer A. Waggoner. Waggoner is the president of the League of Women Voters of California.
- Dean E. Vogel. Vogel is the president of the California Teachers Association.
- Keith Royal. Royal is the president of the California State Sheriffs' Association.
- Joshua Pechthalt. Pechthalt is the president of the California Federation of Teachers.
- Scott R. Seaman. Seaman is the president of the California Police Chiefs Association.
Arguments in favor
The arguments presented in favor of Proposition 30 in the state's official voter guide include:
- "Without Prop. 30, our schools and colleges face an additional $6 billion in devastating cuts this year. Prop. 30 is the only initiative that prevents those cuts and provides billions in new funding for our schools starting this year—money that can be spent on smaller class sizes, up-to-date textbooks and rehiring teachers."
- "Prop. 30 is the only measure that establishes a guarantee for public safety funding in our state's constitution, where it can't be touched without voter approval. Prop. 30 keeps cops on the street."
- "Prop. 30 balances our budget and helps pay down California's debt—built up by years of gimmicks and borrowing. It is a critical step in stopping the budget shortfalls that plague California."
- "To protect schools and safety, Prop. 30 temporarily increases personal income taxes on the highest earners—couples with incomes over $500,000 a year—and establishes the sales tax at a rate lower than it was last year. Prop. 30's taxes are temporary, balanced and necessary to protect schools and safety."
- "Only highest-income earners pay more income tax: Prop. 30 asks those who earn the most to temporarily pay more income taxes. Couples earning below $500,000 a year will pay no additional income taxes."
- "All new revenue is temporary: Prop. 30's taxes are temporary, and this initiative cannot be modified without a vote of the people. The very highest earners will pay more for seven years. The sales tax provision will be in effect for four years."
|Total campaign cash
About $41.3 million has been contributed to the "yes" campaign as of October 1, 2012.
Eight different campaign committees have registered in support of Proposition 30. The two main campaign organizations supporting it are:
- Brown; Californians To Protect Schools, Universities And Public Safety, A Ballot Measure Committee Supported By Governor Jerry Brown (1343257)[13]
- Californians Working Together To Restore And Protect Public Schools, Universities And Public Safety (1346049)[14]

According to Dan Morain, the state's public employee unions, who could ordinarily be counted on to invest significantly in the campaign to pass Proposition 30, may find themselves torn between donations to support the tax hike, and donations to defeat another measure on the November 6, 2012, ballot, the "Paycheck Protection" Initiative. Morain says, "To help fund the campaign, Brown needs the help of organized labor. But unions will be busy trying to kill a separate initiative promoted by conservatives that would strip them of their ability to raise and spend money on campaigns."[15]
The arguments against Proposition 30 in the state's official voter guide were submitted by:
- Jon Coupal. Coupal is the head of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
- Tom Bogetich. Bogetich has retired from the position of executive director of the California State Board of Education.
- Doug Boyd. Boyd is a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Education.[16]
- Joel Fox. Fox is the president of the Small Business Action Committee.
- John Kabateck. Kabateck is the executive director of the California branch of the National Federation of Independent Business.
- Kenneth Payne. Payne is the president of the Sacramento Taxpayers Association.[17]
Other opponents include:
Arguments against
The arguments in opposition to Proposition 30 presented in the state's official voter guide include:
- There is no guarantee in the way it is written that the money would be used for schools. Thus, opponents say, it is a "$50 million shell game." To buttress this argument, opponents quote the California School Boards Association, which in May 2012 said, "the Governor's initiative does not provide new funding for schools."[16]
- "Nothing in Prop 30 reforms our education system to cut waste, eliminate bureaucracy or cut administrative overhead."[16]
- Instead of supporting education, the new tax money raised by Proposition 30 will really go to "backfill the insolvent teacher's pension fund."[16]
- "The Governor, politicians and special interests behind Proposition 30 threaten voters. They say 'vote for our massive tax increase or we'll take it out on schools,' but at the same time, they refuse to reform the education or pension systems to save money."[16]
- "Politicians would rather raise taxes instead of streamlining thousands of state-funded programs...look at what they just did: politicians authorized nearly $5 billion in California bonds for the 'bullet train to nowhere', costing taxpayers $380 million a year. Let's use those dollars for schools! Instead, the politicians gave us a false choice -- raise sales taxes by $1 billion per year and raise income taxes on small businesses OR cut schools."
Other arguments that have been made against Proposition 30 include:
- The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association conducted a "Don't Sign the Petition" campaign, urging people to decline to sign the petition. On their website devoted to encouraging people not to sign the petition, they said, "Petition gatherers may tell you their measure is to increase school funding. But simply put, It's a Tax Increase! California is already a poorly managed state. We have a $15 billion budget deficit - a result of overspending - $500 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, a tax and regulatory climate that drives businesses away, wasteful and ineffective use of our tax dollars and a political system unduly influenced by special interests. We do NOT need higher taxes. Join us by telling everyone you know not to sign Jerry Brown's tax initiative."[19]
- The income tax will be retroactive back to the first of the year (2012), a fundamentally unfair ploy that would not be tolerated if it happened to you as an individual.
- California is already a very high tax state. We already have the 2nd highest state income tax rate, as well as THE highest state sales tax rate. [20] [21]
- If Proposition 30 is approved, California will be by far #1 in income tax rates. It will be 21% higher than the 2nd highest state (Hawaii), 34% higher than the 3rd highest state (Oregon), and FAR higher than all the rest – including seven states with zero state income tax.[22]
- Proposition 30 is opposed by columnist Debra Saunders, who says, "I fear [it will] drive golden geese out of the state. Sure, most families earning $500,000 or more aren't going to move over a lousy $5,000, but moguls who make 20 times that and own multiple homes just might decide to migrate. And there go all their tax dollars."[23]
- Some people who generally support tax increases in California say that they have problems with the specifics of Proposition 30. An example of this is Molly Munger, who says, "You sort of hope that the Democrats are the party that stand up for investment in children and in education. Those are two bedrock principles of the Democratic Party. It is a little bit ironic that so many elements of the Democratic Party are, you know, supporting an initiative that does not invest in the main engine we have for social mobility and opportunity in our society, which is our K-12 schools."[24] Another example is columnist George Skelton, who says, "Brown wants voters to believe that all the billions raised by his tax hike would go to K-12 schools and community colleges. They won't. And he knows that as well as anyone."[25]
- Molly Munger has additionally said, "Under our proposal, virtually all the cuts that the schools have suffered in the last four years would all be restored—and under the governor's initiative, virtually none would be."[26]

California tax policies
The following table summarizes the proposed state income tax increases compared to existing tax policy. The table includes the following information:
- The starting income for the bottom end of the tax bracket (for single-filer taxpayers)
- The income for the top end of the tax bracket (for single-filer taxpayers)
- The marginal tax rate for the income bracket under current policy
- The new tax rate for the income bracket under the proposed tax hike
- The rate increase (proposed_rate - current_rate)
- The percentage increase in the rate over current policy ( (proposed_rate - current_rate)/current_rate )
- The number of taxpayers that will pay an increased tax rate under the proposed tax hike. These estimates come from 2009 California Franchise Tax Board data.[8] There were 14,638,204 individual income tax payers in 2009. The proposed tax hike affects approximately the top 400,000 taxpayers, about 2.7% of the taxpayer population.

Editorial opinion
"Yes on 30"
- The Bay Area Reporter: "We support Prop 30 for several reasons, not the least of which is that it is the product of the political process (although attempts to reach a legislative compromise failed) in which the governor, the Democratic majorities in the Legislature, and affected stakeholders were all part of the negotiations and compromise that resulted in the proposition before the voters."[27]
- The Daily Democrat (Woodland, California): "This tax increase is supported by Gov. Jerry Brown and would avoid deep cuts to public schools, community colleges and universities."[28]
- The Lompoc Record: "...a tax increase to avoid calamity for school funding."[29]
- The Los Angeles Times: "Two years of belt-tightening have left parts of the state safety net in tatters and pushed college costs out of the reach of many families. Cuts in aid to the poor and working poor in this year's budget eliminated child-care subsidies for 14,000 children and preschool slots for 12,500 children. State aid for low-income seniors and the disabled is now as low as it was in 1983; welfare checks are smaller than they were 25 years ago. And K-12 spending per pupil remains $1,000 less than it was five years ago. California now spends less per student than all but three states."[30]
- The Marin Independent Journal: "Passage of Proposition 30 would protect public schools — and our children's educational foundation and opportunities — from being slashed."[31]
- The Modesto Bee: [32]
- The Redding Record Searchlight: "The truth is there's not enough money for the state to do everything its citizens demand. The state frankly overspent straight through the Schwarzenegger administration, even in good years, and now we're at a moment of truth."[33]
- The San Francisco Bay Guardian: "And in a state with more billionaires than any other place in America, a fabulously rich place with the world's eighth-largest economy, the notion that we have to argue about raising $6 billion in taxes is farcical."[34]
- The San Francisco Chronicle: "The governor and the ruling Democrats in the Legislature have given Californians who care about schools and the current-year deficit only one real choice: support Prop. 30, which would raise taxes on incomes starting at $250,000 for individuals, $500,000 for married couples, and the state portion of the sales tax (now 7.25 percent) by a quarter cent ... Prop. 30 provides a necessary budget patch - especially with the Legislature's Republicans unwilling to consider any tax increases."[35]
- The San Jose Mercury News: "Proposition 30 is no substitute for long-term reforms in education funding, pensions and other areas, but it is a measured and sensible response to this crisis."[36]
- The Santa Cruz Sentinel: "Critics of the measure say the governor won't dare administer such cuts. So far, however, we're unaware of any alternative plan for making up the $6 billion."[37]
- The Ventura County Star: "It is a reasonable, well-thought-out approach to an interim fix for the state's recurring deficit, thus giving lawmakers time to seek a long-term solution."[38]
"No on 30"
- The Bakersfield Californian: "As desperate as the state is for money, we oppose Prop. 30 because it promotes the same bad budgeting policies that pushed the state into the mess it's in today."[39]
- The Contra Costa Times: "Proposition 30 is like taking an Alka-Seltzer for your aching head when you need brain surgery. Sure, the pain might lessen for a while, but the root cause remains. Proposition 30 is not so much a solution as it is a cynical political calculation meant to determine just how much the voters will tolerate. And those voters have had to tolerate a lot recently. While claiming poverty, the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown forged ahead with the ill-advised and costly high-speed rail boondoggle."[40]
- The North County Times: "The utter failure of Brown to fulfill his primary campaign promise and institute some kind of meaningful public pension reform means that any money raised from Prop. 30 is simply going to feed the beast. For voters to approve Prop. 30 at this time, when no real reform has been passed, would be to reward Sacramento's wasteful, irresponsible behavior."[41]
- The Orange County Register: "The tax-and-spend culture in Sacramento needs a complete overhaul. Voters might be agreeable to paying more if they saw true reform, such as freeing families from underperforming public schools with tuition vouchers or enough charter schools to meet demand. Maybe if there were genuine reform to public-sector pensions. Or, if meaningful reform in providing public services could be achieved, rather than merely promised, or, if new spending meant equal reductions in old spending, perhaps voters would have reason to give more. We don't see these reforms ahead. As always, instead, we hear pleas to increase taxes for a broken system those in charge refuse to fix."[42]
- The Press-Enterprise: "California would be foolish to raise taxes without providing real and enduring solutions to the state's chronic budget shortfalls. Yet Props. 30 and 38 would increase taxes on Californians without putting state finances on a sustainable course. Voters should demand a comprehensive fix to the state's yearly budget turmoil, and reject the flawed half-measures offered by Props. 30 and 38."[43]
- The San Diego Union-Tribune: "California voters have a crucial choice this November. On Propositions 30 and 38, they can vote for higher taxes and accept the premise that this won't hurt the struggling economy and that the main problem with our already-high-tax state is that its government doesn't get enough money from its residents. Or they can vote no and force change in our broken status quo, starting with the public schools that eat up by far the biggest chunk of the state budget."[44]
- The Victorville Daily Press: "Proposition 30 on November's ballot would raise money by increasing the California sales tax by a quarter cent. That doesn't sound like much, until you recall that California's sales tax rate is already the highest in the United States. Couple that with the fact that the Congressional Budget Office says median U.S. family income has declined more than $4,000 a year since the advent of Obama nearly four years ago, and it's easy to understand why none of us needs the additional burden. Gov. Jerry Brown argues that the money will go to California's public schools, but that's dishonest at best. He wants you to believe that when he says "schools" he means students. He doesn't; he means teachers' benefits, mostly pensions."[45]
Polling information

A USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll was conducted from March 14-19, 2012.[46] A PPIC poll was conducted in early April.[47] PPIC also conducted a poll from May 14-20.[48]
A Field Poll conducted in late May indicated declining support.[49] The Sacramento Bee described the results of that poll as "public support for Gov. Jerry Brown's effort to raise taxes hangs precariously above 50 percent, with confidence in Brown slipping."[50]
In August, a poll released Wednesday by the Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE)/USC Rossier School of Education indicated 55% support for Proposition 30.[51]

Path to the ballot
- See also: California signature requirements
- Karen Getman and Thomas A. Willis submitted a letter requesting a ballot title on March 14, 2012.
- A ballot title and summary was expected by May 3, 2012. However, the Office of the Attorney General produced the ballot title and summary just two days after proponents filed the language for the initiative, on March 16, 2012.
- 807,615 valid signatures were required for qualification purposes.
- The 150-day circulation deadline for #12-0009 was August 13, 2012.
- Signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot were filed on May 4.[52]
- On June 20, the California Secretary of State announced that the initiative had qualified for the November 6, 2012, ballot.[1]
Uphill climb
According to Joe Mathews of Prop Zero, the initiative faced an uphill climb to get the signatures it needs to qualify for the November ballot.[3] He says:
"The reasons are technical and complicated, but here is a brief summary. The key date to keep in mind is June 28. That's the final day -- 131 days before the election -- for the California Secretary of State to determine whether an initiative has qualified for the ballot. That date is a little more than 3 months away. But the full process takes well more than that. And the reviews and signature gathering need to be completed by early May for the measure to have a real chance.
That will be extremely difficult. Once the initiative is filed, the department of finance and the Legislative Analyst's Office have 25 days to prepare a fiscal impact statement. The attorney general has another 15 days to prepare the title and summary.
Even if the full 40 days aren't required and this politically sensitive measure is fast-tracked, it should be mid-April, at best, by the time this measure hits the streets.
Practically, that could leave less than 3 weeks to collect signatures. Why? Because the signatures must be verified. Counties are supposed to conduct a raw count of the signatures that are turned in by May 2; and by May 11, the Secretary of State must receive those raw counts from the counties and decide whether there are more than enough signatures to qualify."
Cost of signatures
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on March 17 that it might cost as much as $7 million to qualify the measure for the ballot. This is because signature-gatherers are likely to charge much more per signature than they normally would, because of the intense time constraints. The paper also reported that it would be the backers of the Millionaire's Tax who underwrite the expensive signature-gathering effort, while Jerry Brown sits on his campaign warchest in case the expedited signature-gathering effort for the merger initiative fails:
"Who's going to be raising all this money? Apparently Assembly Speaker John Pérez, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and their new partners from the former millionaires tax campaign (namely the California Federation of Teachers and the Courage Campaign). We hear the governor will reserve his war chest for his original tax plan - just in case the new, compromise measure can't get on the ballot."[53]
In early April, it was reported that signature-gatherers were being offered $3.00 per signature.[54]
Direct mail
Supporters of Proposition 30 resorted to the use of direct mail to obtain signatures on the petition. According to columnist George Skelton, in so doing, they were taking a page from "the longtime GOP strategy of mailing ballot-measure petitions directly to voters for their signatures." Recipients of the direct mail package also received a follow-up robocall, asking them to sign and return the petition.[55]
According to Gale Kaufman, "Given the time frame, it seemed a combo of traditional signature-gathering and some mail would give us the quickest and best opportunity to collect signatures."[55]

minutes east of Springfield and its Lincoln attractions, Sangchris Lake
serves as a perfect home base for enjoying outdoor activities in central
Illinois. Whether you're interested in fishing, boating, camping, hunting
or family gatherings, Sangchris Lake provides an abundance of recreational
opportunities amid native forests of oak, maple, butternut and persimmon.
3,022 acres and offering 120 miles of shoreline, Sangchris Lake is so
named because it extends into both Sangamon and Christian counties. It
was formed in 1964 when Commonwealth Edison built a 50-foot earthen dam
across Clear Creek to create a cooling lake for a power plant it was constructing
near Sicily.
1969, ComEd deeded 1,414 acres of land around the lake to the state, along
with easement rights for boating and fishing. In August of 1997, the Department
of Natural Resources purchased 1,180 acres along the west shoreline from
ComEd. Today, ongoing developments and improvements have transformed
Sangchris Lake State Park into a popular outdoor retreat.
day visitors, there are eight picnic areas around the lake, as well as
several picnic shelters. Areas contain tables, grills, water facilities and pit toilets.
Shelter reservations can be made through www.reserveamerica.com. Handicapped
facilities are located throughout the park.
longer stays, the Deer Run Campground on the north end of the lake contains
80 Class A (electricity, showers and vehicle access), 40 Class B/S (vehicle
access with showers) and 5 Class C (tent camping, walk-in or backpack;
no vehicle; with showers) campsites and 5 additional Class C equestrian
campsites. A sanitary dump station is provided in each campground. The shower building is located in the Hickory Point Campground.
Point Campground, near the east boat dock, contains 55 Class A, 10
Class C and two rent-a-cabin sites. Playground equipment, showers and a restroom
with flush toilets are nearby. Handicapped sites are located in both campgrounds.
Water facilities (Including the shower building) are closed the Monday prior to Thanksgiving through
March 31. Both campgrounds will be closed
the second week in January through March 31.
Group camping is available in the wilderness area near the office and
service buildings.
Camping and cabin reservations can be made at www.reserveamerica.com

two-slip launching ramp and dock are located on both the east and west
sides of the lake for rowboats, canoes and boats with motors of 25 HP
or less. Strawkas Point launching ramp and dock is located off of Route
104. Sailing is prohibited.

as a State Fish Preserve in 1972, Sangchris Lake is an angler's paradise,
stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, channel and flathead
catfish, bullhead and carp. You can obtain statewide and site regulations
on size and creel limits at the park office. Commercial fishing devices,
such as troutlines and jug fishing, are prohibited. All
fishing tournaments must be scheduled through the park office.
and song birds abound along 3 miles of scenic nature trails, and there
are several unique albino deer living in the area. For the equestrian,
there is a 5-mile horse trail, and for those preferring greater horsepower,
there is an 11-mile snowmobile trail for winter use.
dove, deer and upland game are abundant and some trapping is allowed.

Just ordered a sample to Italy!
I have ordered a sample from the company even though I have never sniffed Aventus. I just wanted to smell Fresco!
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Only thing I'm wary about is the potential tax which can be put in it through customs. Does anyone know what the maximum customs could charge on it to send to UK?
Interesting, not a massive Aventus fan these days but for that price and those notes would buy a bottle. Look forward to hearing how it goes.
In the interim blackberry/blackcurrent fragrances need some loving, to the fragrance directory!
"Geez, when are the 'We love Aventus' T-shirts coming out?"
(Possum-Pie, 2012)
In. I hope I don't get slaughtered on duty to Canada. Oh well. Whatever.
yeah i think you will be fine...can't wait to get my bottle in the mail!
***My friend, there are two kinds of people in this world : those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.***
Hype machine or not, Cool Water still doesn't seem to be considered an equal substitute for Green Irish Tweed by most GIT fans on the board, or Meharees being able to deliver up to the same standard as Musc Ravageur (at least from what I've noticed people saying).
Knock offs are fine, but I'm usually skeptical that they'll nail it.
Then again I'm not bananas for Aventus's opening, and I'm sure Fresco smells fine for $30 bucks, so no one is really losing out.
- - - Updated - - -
I decided to give it a try. Wanted to try Midnight in Paris, but that will probably always be $30
Just got my tracking information. Should be here sometimes next week.
I just ordered a sample off the Fresco website. Worth a shot to save cash...
Just ordered 2 samples. Never tried aventus before but if its as good as I've read and this smells exactly the same why not!?
Well I'm in too... dammit. Snagged by the hype.
FYI- about a buck cheaper than ebay when you use the drscent.com website with the discount code COACHROB. Including shipping mine came to $31.41.
Edit: just checked the DrScent website. They sell all sorts of fragrances, not just Fresco, so I doubt that 100% of their sales have come from Coach Rob. The coupon code has probably been in effect for a while. I'll take off my tinfoil hat now.

i live right next to ny. i should get my sample soon.
This is such weird timing. I was planning on purchasing Aventus when eBay finally collected their sales fees from my PayPal account and then this fragrance hit Basenotes hard. I think I'm going to wait this one out. Hopefully the price of Aventus on eBay drops because of this fragrance. I really don't want to support Ilum Dean since their first release showed absolutely zero creativity. But then again, I almost want to praise them for being the first company to almost clone a well-recognized fragrance...hmm...
Not saying for sure that Coach Robbie isn't in on this, but I don't find them creating a discount code for him all that odd.

I'm looking forward to this bottle. I've certainly experienced the batch variations with Aventus and much prefer the pineapple heavy, lighter/smoke/musk batch (which seems to be the opposite of most). I only had a small decant of this and it's gone. Admittedly the longevity on the batch was not as good but I preferred the smell.
It sounds like Ilum more closely matches the preferred batch... We'll see.

they sold 91 bottles on there ebay listing, as of typing this message. Can you say all aboard the hype train! Can't wait to get my bottle next week
Just got my shipping notice. Looks like they decided to ship a 2ml sample with UPS, so I'm sure I'll get hit with a $15-20 UPS fee, great.
Thanks for offering Oupavoc! Was your bottle shipped with UPS? I figured for $2 what have I got to lose, but we'll see what happens.
No, it was shipped via USPS! Hopefully no duty
Hmm...so they're shipping samples with UPS, and bottles with USPS, ok then. Hopefully it's just a typo or something, but my receipt clearly says Shipper: UPS.
Can't wait for the first impressions on monday!
Blind buying it for sure after more good reviews!
U mad, Olivier?
wow. just bought a sample myself. I mean, being a creative professional i HATE IT when people straight up copy someone else's work. But if this smells just like aventus i might just have to buy a bottle of this. On a side note I have mixed feelings about the hypetrain on this one. I have aventus as pretty much my signature scent and if the hypetrain goes crazy and a whole bunch of people start buying the cheap bottle and my aventus is no longer unique that would really suck. Even worse if a year from now fresco becomes like really popular and people think i'm wearing fresco when i spent $350 on my aventus =( =(
Not to be frag-snobbish or anything. but I would be really pissed having paid so much for something and then someone else thinking that the cheapo knockoff is the original =T. on the other hand if its a good frag at a fraction of the price, as a consumer i would totally just buy the cheaper one....If i were creed though i would sue the living bejeezus ouf of ilum dean tho...lol
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities. - Bruce lee
Cant sue...it doesn't have all of the same notes.
Bottle has been purchased. I wonder how this will compare to the smokier 2010 Aventus which I have. I have tried the more fruity versions but no longer have the samples to compare Fresco to. Anyways Ill be sure to report back when it gets here next week.

Lady Falcons Advance to Tourney Championship with 78-55 Romp at #2 Barton; Host #5 Mount Olive in Blackout Title Game on Sunday!
March 8, 2013
WILSON, N.C. - The third-seeded Pfeiffer University women's basketball shot 56% from the field and held host #2 Barton to just 34% to roll 78-55 in the 2013 Conference Carolinas tournament semifinal round on Friday night. Coupled with fourth-seeded Mount Olive knocking off top-seeded Limestone 79-66 in overtime, the Lady Falcons will host the 2013 tournament championship game at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
Barton would set the early tone going up six just 4:04 into the contest as a Shante Neal layup gave the Bulldogs the early advantage. A pair of Jodie Lemons free throws and three by Cox got the lead down to one just 46 seconds later while a layup by Cox with 12:10 to go in the half started a massive run that saw Pfeiffer bolt out on a 27-5 run to grab as much as a 15-point lead.
Bridget Rothert would tie the contest at 12-12 before giving the Lady Falcons their first lead of the night the next time down the court on another three-ball. Cox, Lemons and Christina Harvey would all contribute in the stretch while three's from Harvey and Kellie Rhoney extended the lead into double figures.
Barton came out fast in the second half trimming the lead down to six on a three by Nyeshea Willie with 16:44 left before another Rothert three started yet another 11-0 run as five different players accounted for all scoring over that five-minute run.
Pfeiffer's largest lead of the game came after a Rhoney jumper and free throw with 7:42 remaining to put the Lady Falcons up 20 at 59-39. Rhoney would help keep the lead at 20 with free throws, along with Rothert, as a final three from Lemons, pair of baskets by Harvey and Rothert, and final layup with three seconds left again from Lemons, the Lady Falcons had easily punched their ticket to Sunday's championship game.
Harvey scored her team-high 21 points on 10-of-17 shooting pulling down eight rebounds while Cox and Rothert each contributed 17 points. Lemons would add 14 points with seven boards to complete the four players in double-figures. Willie led the Bulldogs with 22 on the night.
Rothert's 17 off the bench would come on 6-of-11 shooting as the freshman stepped up with 25 minutes of action as part of the team battled flu-like conditions during the day on Friday.
Pfeiffer will host a blackout against Mount Olive in Sunday's championship game at 2:00 p.m. The Lady Falcons won both regular season meetings against the Trojans as Sunday's winner will clinch the league's automatic berth into the NCAA national tournament.

Alumni & Donor Stories
Continuing Commitment - 12/20/2010
For Larry Gerdes (MBA'74) and his wife Ann, contributing to the Undergraduate Building Expansion and Renovation campaign was just another act of involvement and example of a lifelong commitment to Indiana University. Larry, CEO of Transcend Services, said he believes every Indiana University graduate should consider his or her level of commitment. "As alumni, we need to consider our own financial wherewithal to decide our capacity to give back," Larry said. "I think it is appropriate to give back, especially to those institutions that have an impact on our lives. The Kelley School certainly had an impact on mine. It set me on a great course into the business world." With a daughter employed at Bloomberg Business Week, Larry became even more aware of the importance of facilities. "The magazine rankings cite our facilities of the Undergraduate program as a shortcoming. The first time I helped the School was to honor a professor who meant a lot to me. This time it's a different kind of commitment. I think it is important for the Undergraduate program to have facilities that reflect the quality of the School and the quality of its students. "All you have to do is look at the students. We want to make sure the lives of those students are impacted in a positive way. The facilities are often the first thing our prospective business students see. It is the first impression of Kelley in many regards. You want that to hold up to the rest of the Kelley story." Larry and Ann, who live in Atlanta, share their passion for Kelley in other ways, such as recommending Kelley to the sons and daughters of friends, business associates, or others who have considered a business education. "I have recommended Kelley to prospective students a number of times," explained Larry, who also serves as a member of the Dean's Council, a group of close advisors to the dean of the School. "I tell them that Indiana University is first and foremost a great institution with great people who care, as well as having a great fabric among the student body and the faculty."

Peter L. Lindseth
- Administrative Law
- Comparative Public Law
- European Integration
- Historical Institutionalism
- Legal History
- Multilevel Governance
- Principal-Agent Theory
Peter Lindseth's expertise lies at the intersection of comparative administrative law, European integration, international economic law, and the legal history of public governance. Researching in three languages (English, French, and German), Professor Lindseth develops new insights into the fields of historical institutionalism, principal-agent theory, and governance beyond the state with implications well beyond the case of European integration in which he specializes.
Much sought-after on both sides of the Atlantic, Professor Lindseth is currently serving as Visiting Professor in the Law and History of European Integration at Queen Mary, University of London, and as a Senior Emile Noël Fellow at New York University School of Law. Professor Lindseth has previously served as a visiting professor at Yale, Princeton, Tilburg (as Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) Visiting Professor), as well as at the Université Panthéon-Assas Paris II, and the Université d'Aix-Marseille III. He has also served as a Daimler Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin, a Jean Monnet Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence, a Chatauebriand Fellow at the Conseil d'Etat in Paris, and a Stipendiat at the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History in Frankfurt.
Despite the demands of scholarship and teaching, Professor Lindseth remains active in administrative and professional activities. He is the founding chair of the European Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) and the editor of the section's new blog, europaeus|law. Professor Lindseth also contributes regularly to EUtopia Law, a London-based blog on the European Union. In addition, since 2012, he has been the director of International Programs at the Law School, in charge of both the U.S. Legal Studies LL.M. and the S.J.D. programs along with the Law School's array of exchange and visiting scholar relationships. Professor Lindseth came to UConn from Columbia Law School, where he was associate director of the European Legal Studies Center, a teaching fellow (associate-in-law) and managing editor of The Columbia Journal of European Law. He holds a B.A. and J.D. from Cornell and a Ph.D. in European history from Columbia.

The Waratahs won for the first time in 10 Super Rugby starts to kick start their 2013 campaign.
The home team beat the Rebels 31-26 but for the first 40 minutes it looked miserable for the Tahs, who trailed 16-6.
The Rebels enjoyed possession and field position advantage in the first 40 minutes as the Tahs battled to get into the game.
The second half proved a different story as the Tahs upped the tempo of the game, played with greater conviction and cohesion and scored two tries to Kurtely Beale's injury time final score of the match.
Beale's try earned the Rebels a bonus point but the four points deservedly went to the home team for whom flanker Michael Hooper was the outstanding player.
James O'Connor kicked well for the Rebels, but was powerless to influence the outcome because of a lack of ball in the second half.

The Pratt & Whitney Hornet series occupies a significant place in the development of reliable and powerful engines for both commercial and military operators. The series began with the 1926 development of the air-cooled R-1690 for the U.S. military, and was Pratt & Whitney's second major engine, following the Wasp, another 1926 development. This early version of the Hornet allowed the first practical torpedo plane, the Martin T4M which carried a 909 kg (2000 lb) torpedo for a range of 1079 km (665 miles).
First certificated in 1929, the R-1860-B was a larger version for use in civil and military aircraft in the United States and abroad. Pratt & Whitney manufactured this particular R-1860-B Hornet for the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1932. The engine is most closely associated with the Sikorsky S-40 and S-41B flying boats. Subsequently, Pratt & Whitney engines powered nearly every flying boat built by Sikorsky.

Help Renew Your Feminine Balance
Women experience yeast and urinary tract issues more often than men, in part due to frequent disruptions in vaginal flora. When natural defenses are weakened due to poor diet, too much sugar, stress, illness, or medication use, harmful microorganisms such as Candida may thrive and contribute to health concerns. When this happens, normally harmless vaginal flora can grow out of control and disrupt the pH balance. Rapid Yeast Relief is formulated exclusively for women to maintain a healthy vaginal flora balance and help with urogenital tract health.‡

Uncomfortable | (Posted on 3/5/15)
Review by renewlifelover
I use the women's care, renews life, probiotic line for a few years. I decided to try their 7 day treatment. I only lasted 2.5 days...the abdominal pain was unbeatable. I never have problems with things bothering my tummy. I think it maybe too much on ones system at once.
I will just keep to my normal Ultimate Flora Women's Care

Thank you for the great kit "Vital Woman 7 Day Rapid Yeast Relief". It really works and I feel so much better too! I am 57, overweight and I am out of energy and crave sweets. Being hungry most of the time. I work full time and my health his vitally important to me.

This stuff is very helpful. It didnt cure my thrush completely but the probiotics seem to control my infection "down there" very well. I wish they would offer the probiotics by itself.
DIDN'T WORK, UPSET MY STOMACH | (Posted on 8/14/14)
Review by MAL
My local health food store recommended this product to me to cure my vaginal yeast infection. I followed the instructions on the label and watched my diet and still no relief after 7 days. Also taking so many pills through out the day gave me terrible heart burn and upset stomach. This product did not work for me but, maybe will work for others..
Part 1 gave me stomach ache after the fourth day | (Posted on 2/28/14)
Review by MING
I have tried other products from Renew Life and I am very satisfied but this one I could not finish because I got stomach ache after taking the Part 1 pills. I stopped the pills and the pain stopped.
It worked! | (Posted on 8/9/13)
Review by Tammy
I have had problems for the past 20 years with vaginal yeast. I took prescription meds, watched my yeast intake, went to specialists, you name I tried it. Even betadine and vinegar douches did not work. Skeptical, I tried this program and I am happy to say it worked. I have been vaginal yeast free for 6 months.
post antibiotic relief | (Posted on 8/3/13)
Review by Nancy
Got a yeast infection after having to take antibiotics (as a last resort) for a sinus infection that wouldn't go away. Tried the usually recommended over the counter three day Monistat which didn't work, so researched on line for alternative and then went to the health food store. They recommended Rapid Yeast Relief and sure enough it worked. It took a few days of taking it before I saw any relief but by the end of the week I was much better and afterward I have had no more signs of the yeast infection. Thanks, Brenda, for finding something that is safe yet effective!
I felt energized | (Posted on 3/28/13)
Review by Laurie
I felt energized while on this product. I was never tired in the mornings or afternoons, no burning eyes or groggy feeling. It helped the yeast infection but didn't fully cure it. The other positive effects were a wonderful surprise and showed me that I probably really do have a yeast problem throughout my body. I will try some of the other products to rid myself of yeast and feel energized without headaches again.
It works!! | (Posted on 2/3/13)
Review by RB
I'm 38 year old male with type 2 diabetes and I was so desperate with my yeast infection that I bought this product which is specifically designed for woman. Convectional medicine never helped 100% (Although it helped a lot) and yeast infection kept coming back until I found this Rapid Relief program. It's been 2 weeks since I completed the program and yeast infection never came back. I'm going to recommend your products whenever I can. Thank you Brenda Watson!

Review by laura
I was using a steroid and an antibiotic. I am prone to getting yeast infections when I use those products. I am tired of using medications and getting yeast infections from them. I usually get a Yeast infection preventive medication along with them but the MD did not RX me one this time. So I went to a whole foods store and found this item. After talking with the sales person they said it was a great product and I tried it. Loved it. No yeast infection what so ever. Thank you. I am going to try the candida cleanse to see if it helps with getting yeast infections.
Great product | (Posted on 6/19/12)
Review by Lakisha
I have struggled with Bacterial Vaginosis and yeast infections for 3 years. I entered a study for Bacterial Vaginosis but due to the medication I still would get yeast infections. Even Diflucan could not get rid of it. Once I used your Rapid Yeast Relief I was clear and have been, even after my menstrual cycle. I will tell everyone I know about this product. I will not use anything else but this.
Amazing | (Posted on 4/2/12)
Review by Emma
I've had recurring (pretty much constant) yeast infections for almost 2 years now, seen about six doctors of all types for it, and taken tons of medications which didn't make a difference. Taking this for one week cleared up the problem almost entirely - I also stayed on the sugar and yeast free diet outlined by renew life. I'm going to order another just in case the problem comes back. Just EXTREMELY happy that something finally worked. Highly recommend it!
so far so good | (Posted on 3/7/12)
Review by heather
I have been taking this product so far for 5 days and already the itch is gone and i feel normal again. I've had trouble since i was 15 (and now im 22) with reoccurring bv and yeast id go to the gyno probably more than 6 times a yr some yrs alot more than that. After I had my daughter i didn't have problems for 2 yrs then all of a sudden it came back with vengence and your product has hopefully taken care of it. I will keep taking probiotics yogurt folic acid and keep away from sugar! Thanks soo much Renew Life!
Love it | (Posted on 2/2/12)
Review by KJ
I have tried other products that worked for a while, but I took this and it worked great. I have a refill of Diflucan at the pharmacy at all times because my doctor can not figure out why I keep having problems. After taking this product, I have no discomfort. I am reordering to keep one on hand.
Unfortunately didn't work. | (Posted on 11/17/11)
Review by BE
I've been happy with every product by Renew Life except for this one. I've completed the whole treatment, following a yeast-free diet, and taking supplements known to target candida such as garlic, high dose pribiotics etc., as well. I've done everything they said in the instructions to the letter. No relief, not even %1. And yes... I've been diagnosed with yeast infection but no doctor or prescription/otc or natural medication has yet been able to help me. Neither did this product. I felt that it was a total waste of my money. I just hope they keep my posting online because it might help other women who might not be able to benefit from this. Thank you for reading.
Worked for me! | (Posted on 9/14/11)
Review by Jamie
Rapid Yeast Relief worked for me, thank you! It took the full 7 days for me to feel relief from the yeast infection but as promised, after 7 days, I finally felt better! I am now following up with CandiGone just to make sure that the candida overgrowth is under control. Thank you for your wonderful product which gets to the root of the problem and doesn't just over up symptoms like Monistat, etc.
Excellent Product!!! | (Posted on 1/21/11)
Review by CBR
This product is so fast and so effective. I've suffered from yeast infections for years. I've taken so much diflucan, tea tree oil, boric aid, red cider vinegar... You name it and I've tried it. Searching for some type relief.... Yes, I was under doctors care- and not trying these remedies just on my on :-)
They were still recurring to no avail.....
With all that being said....This product works! Within 1 day I could tell a huge difference. Day 2 - amazingly I had no sign of yeast. I continued this product for the remainder and I felt better and better each day! If you have a problem with yeast, you will be finally free after trying this product. It's terrific! Thank Renew Life and Brenda Watson!!!
