Mary Ann Milo
39 years old - Avondale, Arizona - Featured on March 12, 2010
On a Mission to Spread Happiness and Promote Education
Fresenius Medical Care patient Mary Ann Milo with her niece, Grace Ann Miller, at a family dinner.
Mary Ann Milo is a 39-year-old dialysis patient who lives in Avondale, Ariz. Mary Ann was diagnosed with kidney disease at the age of two, and her kidneys lost all function by the time she was nine. At that point, she started her first round of peritoneal dialysis. Her first transplant, from her father, lasted 12 years but eventually failed. Then she returned to peritoneal dialysis. She was able to get a second transplant that lasted up until three years ago, and is now currently on in-center hemodialysis at Fresenius Medical Care Avondale.
Despite her ups and downs, Mary Ann's mission in life is to bring happiness to those around her and help patients on dialysis. Mary Ann has taken great interest in educating other patients about dialysis, and she created a patient council that meets every month. She has also volunteered to be a patient representative at her clinic. Mary Ann is very dedicated to her treatment program, and has even learned to help set up her own dialysis treatment at the clinic.
Mary Ann is a fourth-grade teacher at Freedom Elementary School located in Buckeye, Ariz., where she has taught for nine years. Prior to teaching, she volunteered at the Geisinger Medical Center where she worked with pediatric dialysis patients. Mary Ann loves to hike, travel, and remain as active as possible. Mary Ann is planning a vacation to visit her sister in El Paso this year, and intends to study nursing with a focus in nephrology.

With apologies to those firmly on either Team Edward or Team Jacob, I was, until recently, convinced that the best vampire movie of the past 10 years was director Tomas Alfredson's Let the Right One In, the widely acclaimed, beautiful, and very scary Swedish thriller from 2008. But after seeing director Matt Reeves' new remake, Let Me In, I'm thinking that – Heresey Alert! – this one just might trump it.

Watching the early scenes of Capitalism: A Love Story, I found myself thinking, none too happily, that the bloom was finally off the rose, and that my fondness for Michael Moore documentaries had, at last, reached its end.

Anthracnose Stalk Rot
Anthracnose stalk rot is the same fungus that causes anthracnose leaf blight. Stalk infection is more severe where there is injury by European corn borer. The holes bored by European corn borer in the stalks provide a means for the anthracnose fungus to enter the plant. Conditions that favor anthracnose stalk rot are continuous corn, surface corn residue (minimum & no tillage) and wet, humid, warm weather. Anthracnose stalk rot symptoms may appear after tasselling as vertical, tan to reddish brown, water-soaked lesions (streaks) in the rind. Lesions become large, dark brown to shiny black. To control anthracnose use resistant hybrids, rotate corn with non-grass crops or cleanly plow under infected residue. Fields with high amounts of anthracnose leaf blight should be checked for indications of anthracnose stalk rot. If stalk rot is found you may wish to target that field for early harvest to avoid losses associated with premature lodging.

A woman was fast asleep in her home Friday morning as flames began to spread.
She lives alone, and the situation could have easily turned deadly.
But her dog Max sensed trouble and sprung into action.
The woman tells 11 News that Max woke her up, barking, to alert her to the flames. She and Max were able to get out safely before the flames engulfed her home.
Smoke was so thick at the scene that a large plume could be seen from nearby Highway 50. When firefighters arrived at the home, just minutes after the woman called 911, the home was fully engulfed. It was a total loss.
Our reporter on scene described the charred remains as "flattened."
The call came in at 7:16 a.m. It took a few hours to get completely extinguished, though firefighters were able to contain it quickly.
The mobile home is located on the 7800 block of Highway 50 West, outside Pueblo West.
At this time, authorities speculate that a space heater may be the cause, but this has not been definitively confirmed.

Adidas' Stan Smith comes back
05 Jun. 2013
Adidas' Stan Smith Sneaker ReturnsReborn for Spring/Summer 2014, Adidas' Stan Smith sneaker style celebrates its return to the streets. Removed from the shelves for the past few seasons, the classic silhouette has since been updated for the modern day.
Debuting as a tennis shoe in 1972, the Stan Smith has made its way from the tennis court to the street, selling over 40 million pairs.
Originally introduced and developed for the French tennis player Robert Haillet in the mid-1960s, the name of Stan Smith was added to the tennis shoe, alongside Haillet's, at the start of the 70s, before it was designated as the signature sneaker of the American sporting icon in 1972.
Stan Smith will be presented at the launch of two new premium collections for Fall/Winter 2013 that will be exclusively available at Adidas Consortium stores, before the full range of new Stan Smith sneakers are rolled out from January 2014, with a second drop in April 2014.

That's very similar to what Suter got on the open market. I think Weber is the better player, and I think the Preds will/must match. They came pretty close to those numbers with their final offer to Suter.
apparently the Flyers have frontloaded it absurdly to the tune of 26 Million dollars. Forbes valued the preds at 163 million dollars in 2011. That's almost 15% of the franchises total value.

|Area Students Graduate from Creighton University
|News Releases - Education & Schools
|Written by readMedia
|Tuesday, 24 May 2011 11:46
OMAHA, NEB.– (05/20/2011)(readMedia)-- Creighton University conferred the largest number of degrees ever at its May commencement – more than 1,500 – to students from 46 states and seven countries. Two ceremonies were held Saturday, May 14, at the Qwest Center Omaha – The undergraduate schools, School of Law and Graduate School ceremony were held in the morning. The ceremony for Health Sciences professional schools, including schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy and Health Professions, was held in the afternoon. University President the Rev. John P. Schlegel, S.J., presided at both ceremonies-his last as Creighton president.
The following students from your area received degrees during the commencement ceremonies:
Kelsie Knutsen of Bettendorf earned a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences degree
Stephan Marsh of Bettendorf earned a law degree
Special awards and recognitions were presented to leaders or groups who have made a difference locally, nationally and internationally.
Cardinal Jaime Ortega, Archbishop of Havana, Cuba received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree for a life dedicated to promoting religious freedom in Cuba.
An honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree was presented to the Rev. John Foley, S.J., founder of Cristo Rey Schools and executive chair of Cristo Rey Network.
A Presidential Medallion was given to Omaha area survivors of the Holocaust who endured great hardship with dignity and faith in German concentration camps during the 1940s when six million Jews were killed. After the war, 200 survivors found their way to the Omaha area with fewer than three dozen currently alive. Accepting the award for the group was survivor Beatrice Karp.
Creighton's Alumni Achievement Citation – the highest award given to an alumnus – was presented to Cage S. Johnson, M.D., a 1965 graduate of the School of Medicine. Johnson is an international authority on sickle cell disease, a serious disorder in which the body manufactures misshapen red blood cells that block blood flow, causing severe pain and organ damage.
Also receiving recognition in the afternoon was Shirley A. Blanchard, Ph.D., associate professor of Occupational Therapy, who will receive the Creighton Students Union Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Award for Teaching Achievement. Blanchard has served in the health care field for more than 30 years as an occupational therapist, researcher and educator.

Young County could be getting a little help when it comes to managing people out on bond, that is, if 90th District Attorney Dee Peavy's recent request is accepted by county officials.
Peavy recently asked the Young County Commissioner's Court at its May 27 meeting to consider cooperating with the City of Graham to hire a bond supervisor to serve the city and county for the purpose of coordinating, installing, maintaining and tracking people out on bond with ankle monitors, among other conditions.
Peavy's request was ultimately tabled by the commissioner's court, but the D.A. said that the position is needed and could be facilitated by an extra office at the county jail.
"Essentially, what it is, is that the probation office at this time has been monitoring these people who are placed on condition of bond supervision," Peavy explained. "The probation office has more than their share to do in managing those out on probation. They need someone to handle those that are out on bond and awaiting trial."
While it is not yet clear what budget adjustments may or may not be needed to add the position, the idea came about in part after a recent Community Leaders Against Crime meeting (CLAC), she said.
"When I went to the CLAC meeting the other day, we visited about different initiatives and other things that we could do to address the problem of crime in our county," Peavy said, adding that one of the ideas she mentioned was putting conditions of bond on those who have bonded out and are awaiting trial.

Among those injured when a gunman opened fire at an Aurora theatre early Friday morning was Gateway High senior Zack Golditch, a 2013 Colorado State football recruit.
Golditch was in the theatre adjacent to where the shooting occurred and was hit by a bullet that went through the wall, according to reports. Golditch was injured in the neck but was released from the hospital this morning.
"I was kind of like in the first row where the stairs start to go up," Golditch told the Loveland Reporter-Herald.
The a 6-foot-5, 260-pound lineman didn't originally think he'd been shot. "The movie was going and everything was fine, then all the sudden, it was like some popping went off in my left hand corner, and there was some smoke, so I thought it was firecrackers.
"Some guy had a hole in his arm, like it blew up right next to his arm. Everyone was like, some idiots are throwing firecrackers inside the movie. Then all I know is I kind of look around, I hear a soft boom beside my ear, and my ears are ringing.
"I kind of leaned over to my friend, and I had blood dripping into my hand. I was like, 'Man, I need to get out of here, because I don't want something to happen again.' "
With Golditch at the movie was CSU sophomore wide receiver David Anderson, a 2010 Gateway graduate; he was not injured. Anderson posted a video on his Facebook page about being at the theatre.
"Thank you god for (saving) me tonight! thank you! thank you! thank you!" Golditch tweeted this morning.
Later, he tweeted, "Thank you God for the gift of life! i promise it will not go to waste."
CSU basketball recruit Marcus Holt, a 2011 Rangeview Highgrad who attends Paris Junior College in Texas, was also at the theatre but was not injured, according to his Twitter account.
Early this morning, Holt tweeted: "I really had my guardian angel looking over me tonight."

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
While no single accessory will catch all the dust and chips that go airborne when turning wood, the Big Gulp Ultimate Dust Hood gobbles up a lot of it. When tethered to a 1-hp or larger dust collector with 4" hose, the Big Gulp gathers in most of the chips made when hollowing out a bowl or vessel. It's especially effective at sucking up sanding dust from turnings--the stuff you'd breathe into your lungs otherwise.
The Big Gulp mounts between the ways of any lathe bed on three slotted arms with locking knobs, allowing you to position the hood where you need help most. You can also get it on a floor stand (model #DBU30, $120) or the long-armed Dust Picker (model #DPICKER2, $60), which has a smaller hood, for dust collection behind a mitersaw, radial-arm saw, or other dust-spewing tool.

B Game is good... C Game is decent effort; D Game is nearly game-over for me. But A Game... oooh, A Game is the manifestation of our full attention, best efforts and full tilt boogie as regards personal style and finesse. A Game is what we do when we give a shit... it's what we do when we want it.
Crazy as it may sound, this photo depicts my A Game. It was late afternoon on Thanksgiving; I'd spent the entire day cooking and creating what I must say was a pretty stellar holiday meal and experience. The house looked and smelled good. The food was delicious, everyone was smiling. I'd given and done my best - and it showed, everywhere I looked. I can also see, in this pic, that I've been working my ASS OFF in terms of nutrition and fitness. Loved my outfit. Was wearing a glass cheetah "J" necklace I picked up over the summer on 42nd Street while in NYC for three back-to-back book signings. Had on a fabulous - no, fierce, pair of shoes. Had on my favorite (hard to find!) perfume, was sipping my favorite wine. Felt muy *•。☂Sexxy•Licious☂。•* .
I think I'll always refer to this pic when I want to remind myself how important it is to give mind, heart, body and soul to every single thing I do. I think I'll always look at this pic when I feel I'm swerving off my path or slipping just a little bit. I can't let myself down... or those I care about. And I'll be damned if I don't live up to my full potential or relentlessly pursue my desires. Because at the end of the day... how can we smile before nodding off to sleep or release a sigh of contentment at the end of our days, if we haven't done all that we can, every chance we have? To that end - understanding and mastering the art of the A Game is vital.
We can apply this to relationships, career, goals, passions, personal choices, parenting... Everything, really. What'cha think?

Christopher is an odd-job man, making a living doing the chores no one else wants to. He doesn't drive and he just may have a crush on the sword-swallower girl who performs down on the boardwalk. When he agrees to be the test subject for an experimental drug named ReQular, a transdermal patch with unknown effects, things begin to change. Between reporting to the three scientists who lead the research, he becomes wrapped up in the lives of various people- Eddie, a man who lives on the street, Jeanie, a spoiled rich daughter, even the Sword Girl, who regards him as a stalker as she draws him close then pushes him away. Most dangerously, he becomes obsessed with destroying the life of a random man he passes on the street, for reasons even he himself can't be sure of. Through stranger and stranger turns, Christopher gets wrapped up in a world of questions: what is ReQular, who are the myst ...

Denis Leary's rock star show Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll has been picked up by FX for a full series after a successful pilot aired in January on the US satellite channel.
The ten-episode show will debut in 2015 and former Rescue Me star Leary leads as middle-aged, failed fictitious musician Johnny Rock. He was front man of early '90s band The Heathens who broke up the day their debut album was released.

"They have a great platform for comedy, an award-winning marketing team and an amazing new Nespresso machine in the conference room."
Leary created the show and is also its executive producer. Among the cast are former Sex and the City and Northern Exposure star John Corbett.

Ephemera including photographs, drink tickets and artwork belonging to the iconic club's late owner is going on the block.
21:52, UK, Friday 18 January 2013
Mementos from the iconic nightclub Studio 54 are going up for sale in an auction that has renewed nostalgia for the hub of New York's 1970s party scene.
Photographs, letters and artwork once owned by the club's A-list guests are among the memorabilia that belonged to late Studio 54 co-owner Steve Rubell.
The trove will be auctioned off on Saturday in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The auction comes more than 23 years after Mr Rubell's death from Aids in 1989.
The photographs offer intimate glimpses into the leisure time of the era's celebrity elite: Frank Sinatra, Robin Williams, Diana Ross, Sir Elton John and others.
Among the most valuable items are a handful of Polaroids taken by artist Andy Warhol.
Mr Rubell's partner, Bill Hamilton, has held onto the boxes of newspaper clippings, photographs and other items in the couple's Manhattan apartment, where Mr Hamilton still lives.
He said taking another look at the pictures was a reminder of Mr Rubell's generosity and fun-loving nature.
"He really just wanted you to have a good time. And he might have just met you and he invited you into the club, but he was going to make sure you remember it," he said.
"These people from 1978, 1979 are still living those nights."
In Saturday's auction, a metal sculpture by Warhol of dollar signs is estimated to fetch up to $50,000 (£31,521) and a portrait of Mr Rubell painted by Michael Vollbracht has an estimated value of up to $20,000 (£12,608).
Also being sold are drink tickets, posters, invitations and the key to the party fortress itself.
Mr Rubell opened Studio 54 in 1977 with Ian Shrager, and sold it just four years later in 1981. It continued operating under different management for years afterward.
The building is now home to the Roundabout Theatre Company.

Yesterday I attempted to "try" to teach my 4-year-old how to tie his shoes.
It was awful! He was frustrated, I was frustrated. We both needed a nap shortly after the eight-minute ordeal. Then late last night, wouldn't you know, a friend of mine pins this must-watch shoe tying video? After I watched it, I was like "Whaaa?!" Seriously?! Who else knew that shoe tying could be that easy?!"
So I did a little digging around, and it looks like this shoe tying video has already been shared here on BabyCenter, but I think it deserves another go. It's one of those things that is too good not to share with everyone. So…if you are thinking about teaching shoe tying sometime in the near future, you've got to see this quick video:
You can read more about this technique here too.
I'm so excited to try to teach this way of tying shoes! I would love to have my little guy tying his shoes before kindergarten, it's one of those life skills that I'd love to cross off the list sooner than later. Although…please let it be known that I have no judgement what so ever on anyone who wants to wait. After yesterday's little ordeal, I get it.
So…when do you think you will attempt it?

April 30, 2016
ECU (3-3, 2-1 C-USA) trailed 28-17 at halftime before the defense, offense and special teams took charge with a 28-3 run.
The defense forced five turnovers in the third quarter to take control away from the Knights (3-2, 1-1 C-USA). The Pirates converted three of the turnovers into scores. In addition to Johnson's kick return, Rob Kass hit Jamar Bryant on a 6-yard scoring pass and then hit Davon Drew on a 20-yard play.
A fourth score off a Central Florida turnover came at the start of the fourth quarter as Kass ran 6 yards up the middle to give East Carolina a 52-31 edge to complete the wild turnaround.
The 52 points are the most for East Carolina since the Pirates beat Houston in three overtimes, 54-48, on Nov. 9, 2002. They are the most in regulation since a 59-24 victory over Army on Oct. 5, 2002.
Johnson set a single-game school record for all-purpose yards. His 372 yards on kickoffs, rushing and receiving broke the mark of 356 set by Scott Harley against North Carolina State on Nov. 30, 1996.
Quarterback Kyle Israel hit 9 of 16 passes for 166 yards in the first half to help the Knights take the lead. He finished 28-for-45 for 308 yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Kevin Smith, the nation's leading rusher, gained 147 yards and scored on a 1-yard run with 1:34 left in the half to give the Knights a 28-14 edge.

As we rush headlong towards to end of the year, technologists always like to indulge in a spot of crystal ball gazing. IBM is no exception, and this year Big Blue has decided to make a bold bet on what it thinks will be the most eye-catching innovations of the next five years.
According to IBM researchers, we're about to enter the era of so-called cognitive systems – computers that interact with the world around them using the same five sense that humans use.
"Cognitive systems will bring even greater value and insights, helping us solve some of the most complicated challenges," said Bernie Meyerson, IBM vice president of innovation.
According to IBM, advances in haptic technologies will transform our ability to touch objects via our smartphones – enabling users to distinguish between two dresses shown on screen by feeling the differences in fabric.
Computers will also get far cleverer when it comes to sight, being able to analyse the content of images with far more sophistication. They will be able to analyse medical images and spot the first signs of diseases, IBM predicts.
Most people might not think they need a computer that can smell, but that hasn't stopped IBM trying to make one. Electronic noses embedded in smartphones could potentially detect the first whiff of bad breath that might indicate the user is coming down with a bug or is even hypoglycaemic.
The next five years will also bring computers that can listen to their environment, acting as sensors in remote locations to warn of the dangers such as landslides, IBM reckons.
And Heston Blumenthal watch out. IBM estimates that within five years, we'll have computers that can interpret tastes and flavours. IBM researchers believe it will be possible for computers to come up with previously unimagined recipes, potentially finding ways to make healthy foods that taste every bit as good as artery-clogging fast food.

text: The Belvedere, the palace at the heart of Vienna, was once the Baroque summer residence of the renowned general and art connoisseur Prince Eugene. In the Upper Belvedere there is the world's largest Klimt collection with the famous golden pictures The Kiss and Judith. With their wealth of gold and ornament, these pictures are classic examples of Viennese Art Nouveau and a "must" for Klimt fans the world over! At Prince Eugene's Lower Belvedere and orangery, the museum stages superb temporary exhibitions with artworks from all over the world. Here you can also discover Prince Eugene's staterooms: for example the Hall of Grotesques and the sumptuous Golden Room.

President Obama says that the death of Moammar Qadhafi in Libya and the announcement that troops from Iraq will return home by the end of the year are strong reminders that the United States has renewed its leadership in the world. He says the role of our brave pilots and crews has given the Libyan people a chance to seek a democratic future for their children, and after a decade of war in Iraq, the United States is moving forward and focusing on strengthening the economy and security at home. That is why President Obama is calling on Congress to pass the American Jobs Act to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, give working families a tax break, and put teachers back in our classrooms and cops on the beat. He says we must bring the same sense of urgency to revitalizing our economy that our troops took to their fight, which is why President Obama is urging Republicans and Democrats to work together to pass the American Jobs Act now to put the American people back to work.

Stormers to turn to schoolboy?
Article By: Staff ReporterWed, 30 Nov 2011 1:27 PM
The Stormers are reportedly looking at a Cape Town schoolboy as a possible answer to their flyhalf woes and may look to blood him in next year's Super 15.
South African Schools flyhalf Timo Swiel has been training with the Stormers squad and coach Allister Coetzee revealed that Swiel will be given a chance to show what he is capable of in the pre-season friendlies.
The rest is up to the Bishops star.
"Yes, he has been training with the squad. But he is still very young and I haven't really seen much of him yet. He will however get an opportunity to rub shoulders with experienced Springboks to gain first-hand knowledge on how things are done," Coetzee told Die Son newspaper.
"Timo (Timothy) still has a long way to go but one can never be too young. We will give him an opportunity in the pre-season friendlies to show what he is capable of. We did the same with a youngster like prop Steven Kitshoff last year and he came through," Coetzee added.
The Stormers will start the season proper with veteran number 10 Peter Grant – depending on availability – but after suffering an injury crisis in the position last year, Swiel may be the answer to the side's long-term future in the position.
The Cape Town team lost Grant, Gary van Aswegen, Lionel Cronje, Kurt Coleman and Demetri Catrakilis to injuries last season and were forced to go outside the squad on more than one occasion.
Swiel may be well down the pecking order at the moment, of course, but judging by the video below, the 18-year-old has plenty of talent and it is unsurprising that he is the cause of such excitement in the Cape.

Yes we can: USACE employees help students manage can construction project
March 3, 2010
By Carol E. Davis (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District)
Story Highlights
- Four eighth-grade geometry students accepted the challenge to plan, design and construct a sculpture completely from cans
- The students will use the same principal steps of project management to guide their tin can construction project from concept to reality
Related Links
WIESBADEN, Germany - A small middle school geometry class with big minds is taking on a big challenge.
Four eighth-grade geometry students at the Wiesbaden Middle School accepted the challenge to plan, design and construct a sculpture completely from cans as part of a tin can construction project similar to the Society of Design Administration's Canstruction®.
"From the first time I heard about this program, I knew it was a great idea," said David Bruce, a geometry teacher at the Wiesbaden Middle School. "You can't pay for this kind of experience. It's not about the building of the structure - it's about the process. It's the real deal, it's real world."
The challenge kicked off March 1 when students officially entered into phase one, the initiation phase. With the guidance from Kelley Grant, a volunteer from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District, students learned about the five phrases of project management, which they will be using to bring their project to fruition.
Using the Corps' Project Management Business Process brochure, Grant outlined each of the stages of a real-world project, and how these same principal steps will guide their tin can construction project from concept to reality.
"This project will require more than just math and science skills," said Bruce. "The students will have to use wit and ingenuity in each step of the process. From deciding who the best person for each job is to whether or not the design is feasible, students will really have to think and work well together to complete this project."
Grant and other volunteers from the Europe District will guide the students throughout each of the five stages of the tin can construction- initiation, planning, design, execution and close out.
"Working in a team, students will experience real life issues," said Grant. "They will really get to know each other. They will discover their strengths and weaknesses, and hopefully they will learn to overcome team conflicts and learn to solve problems."
During the planning stage, students were asked to evaluate the potential problems and look for solutions, think about possible size and design of the sculpture, consider the number of cans needed, make a project schedule, and discuss team dynamics. And so far, the students have taken a vested interest in their project.
"I'm really looking forward to this project," said Wesley Moncrief, one of the students involved in the competition. "It gives us chance to apply the knowledge we have now and gives us experience for the future."
"With a can budget or can limitation and a completion date requirement, the tin can construction project is as close to a real construction project as these students can get," said Grant.
Cans of various heights, colors and sizes are being donated by the Wiesbaden Commissary. After the completion of the tin can project, the cans will be returned to the commissary, unlike Canstruction® where the cans of food are donated to local food banks.
"Even though the food will not go to a food bank, the experience gained by the students will be immeasurable," said Katie Ergenekon, the tin can construction project manager from the district. "If this year's project goes well, maybe next year students will have an opportunity to participate in the actual Canstruction® competition."

Fifth-grader wins top prize at fair
WILDOMAR Ronald Reagan Elementary fifth-grader Samuel Shults took home a gold medal in the annual Inland Science and Engineering Fair at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino on April 3.
Shults' project, "Do I Need to Wash Your Mouth Out With Soap?" tested the mouths of 10 animals for bacteria. He found that the human mouth — "It was mine who had the most," he told the Lake Elsinore Unified School District's governing board — contained more bacteria than the mouths of dolphins, horses, lambs, goats, pigs, rats, snakes, cats and dogs.
Shults was one of 15 Lake Elsinore Unified students who competed in the event. Eight of the district's students won silver medals and six won bronze.

Psyko 5.1 PC Gaming Headset Review
Reviewed by: hardnrg
Reviewed on: November 1, 2010
Price: $300
Psyko! Crazy, mental ward patients with cats duct-taped to their feet as slippers... No, not that kind of psycho, this time it's psychoacoustic science, the science of sounds, and the basis of Psyko Audio Labs' name and technology. Psyko Audio is a new company based in Canada, and recently got a lot of attention at CES 2009 for their first product: a surround sound PC gaming headset system. The "Head Psyko", James Hildebrandt, has experience in acoustics, is an avid gamer, and has been developing audio technology for several years. So, a passion for games, experience of playing, and a solid understanding of acoustics. Sounds good to me.
Okay, so in this review I'll be taking a look at Psyko Audio's first and only product, the Psyko 5.1 headset. This headset has been designed specifically for PC gaming, to provide a surround sound experience equal to what you would hear when listening to a home cinema speaker setup. Isn't that what all surround sound headsets aim to do, though? Well, yes, but rather than bungle around with the same tired design, Psyko have decided to use a completely new design that has never been done before. Will it be a breakthrough technological success, or will it be a freak of nature destined to fade into the history books of audio evolution? Let's find out!
Closer Look:
The shiny, full-colour picture of the headset on the front of the box gives you an instant understanding of the shape of the product, despite the matt black cardboard packaging having no cellophane windows. How can audio be a weapon? Sonic tanks? Haha, maybe, but any serious gamer will already know that audio cues in games can give you an idea of not only what is going on "off-camera", but also where it is happening. Round at the back of the box, you pretty much have a full rundown of all the features of the headset and amp, and a picture of how it connects to your computer. For the technically inquisitive, you even get a concise explanation of the PsykoWave technology used in this headset to give a natural and accurate surround sound experience.
The top of the box shows an overhead view of the headset's headband. I think most people will initially be taken aback by its heft, but again, you get a clear feel for the size and shape of the headset before you've even opened the box.
What's on the sides of the box? Yep, you've guessed it - views of each side of the headset. The left side clarifies that this headset is analogue-only, while the right side lists the hardware contents inside the box.
There's not much on the bottom of the box, so it's time to open it up and see what's inside.
The contents of the box are held in position by a formed cardboard inner that feels sort of like a protective egg carton. Good enough for fragile eggs, good enough for audio equipment? The lid of the box is lined with a sheet of foam/sponge to further protect the headset parts during transit. Also, you get a cool smiley face, haha.
So, this is what you get: the headset itself, a 5.1 headphone amplifier with microphone pass-through, a removable boom mic, an AC/DC power adaptor, and a product manual.
Closer Look:
Let's take a look at the headset first. It's a circumaural design (the ear cups sit around the ear), which almost seems bigger than "full-size" because of the larger-than-usual headband.
This massive headband has five wide felt-covered spongey pads to distribute the weight across your head in a comfortable way. The reason the headband is so large is that it actually houses five 30mm headphone drivers. You can see, in the underside shot, how the outermost speaker chambers join through to the rear tunnel (at the top of the picture), which carries the sound down through the red sections to the rear of each ear cup. Viewed from the top, you can see that the drivers for the front left, centre, and front right channels have chambers that join through to the front tunnel section, which carries sound down to the front of each ear cup.
Psyko calls these tunnel sections "WaveGuides". They have been designed to mimic the natural phenomenon that exists for sounds reaching a person from one side, and contain materials to modulate the frequencies of the sound in the same way that your head affects the sound waves travel around it. As sound takes time to travel through the air (think of thunder and lightning), there is actually a small delay between the sound reaching the ear closest to the sound and the other ear. The amount of delay directly relates to the angle away from the central axis (straight ahead or behind). For example, the positions of the front left and right headphone drivers in this headset create a 0.35ms timing difference that relates to a 30° angle away from centre. This 30° angle is the same as one that Dolby and THX recommend for the front speakers in 5.1 speaker setups. The rear speakers have a timing difference to present a perceived angle of 30° back from straight out to the side (in other words, 120° away from straight ahead). The timing differences are constant, no matter how far away the sound is, so the ear cup can be adjusted up and down without affecting the perceived sound direction.
The sound emenates from the flanged red holes that are visible through the clear windows on the side of each ear cup. You can probably now visualise how the sound is directed in front of, and behind, the listener's ear.
Each ear cup has a 40mm driver to provide the the .1 of 5.1, the subwoofer channel. The ear cup is also a ported enclosure, which I would imagine allows a more dynamic sound compared to a sealed design.
Very uniquely, the clear windows on the ear cups are hinged and can be opened up. This allows the user to listen to other people in the room without taking the headset off. You know, sentences like "hey, you spend more time on that computer than with me, maybe you should just marry it", and "dinner's ready, you can't eat anything in that game you're playing!" Haha, jokes aside, it's a neat feature to be able to quickly hear someone speaking to you without reaching for the volume control, nor having to pull the ear cup off your ear. Flip open, flip closed, easy.
A microphone makes the difference between a set of headphones and a headset, and this one certainly is the most solid looking and feeling design I have seen. Usually, removable headset microphones have either a delicate boom, or an audio connector that is prone to breaking from repeated insertion/removal. This one has a rigid boom, with a 2.5mm audio jack connector. You can see that the connector resembles a headphone jack, and the plastic barrel section of the jack locates inside the hole for the microphone socket. This means that the metal part of the jack is not prone to stress damage during normal use, something that has been an issue with other headsets I have owned or tested.
As the microphone boom has a rigid body, it cannot be bent or angled up/down, but you can swing it nearer or further away from your mouth to achieve the optimum voice performance.
This headset does not use any digital trickery to emulate surround sound, it's straight analogue, no messing. I'm not trying to start a digital versus analogue debate, but simply pointing out that the headset provides realistic surround sound without any signal processing. So the only inputs required are the six channels (5.1) from your soundcard. Additionally, there is the microphone output from the headset down to the soundcard. This means the headset is terminated with four 3.5mm stereo jack plugs, which are colour-coded with the familiar PC System Design Guide colours to help you match each plug to the right socket.
So, wait, what? Where does the amp come in? Now. It comes in now.
Closer Look:
The front of the amp is deceptively minimal. The left side has five LED indicators for the corresponding intensity of sound for each channel apart from the subwoofer. There is another LED indicator for the power-on status. The central knob controls the amount of bass sent to each channel. As you increase the bass amplification, you start to decrease your ability to perceive the direction of sounds. So, all the way to the left, this control has no bass emphasis and the clearest direction; this is what the "dir." refers to on the dial. The knob on the right is a volume control that doubles as the power switch.
The red corners continue the "form and function" concept of the headset, reflecting the WaveGuides prominent appearance as well as serving a purpose. In this case, they prevent the amp enclosure from being scratched if it is moved across the desk, even upside-down.
Okay, so, round to the back, and you can see where the four jacks from the headset plug in. The headset is therefore driven by these amplified outputs (the microphone signal is a simple pass-through). This amplification requires power, so there is a DC power socket on the right of the picture. The audio connection cable that carries sound between the amp and the soundcard is hard-wired to the enclosure, and is terminated and colour-coded in the same way as the headset.
In case you haven't used an amplified headset before, here is a photo to illustrate how you would connect it. The audio connectors from the amp go to your soundcard, and the AC/DC adaptor goes to a wall socket or power strip. With the amp powered up and switched on, the power LED illuminates.
The five other LEDs remain dim until there is a sound signal present. Each LED operates independently and varies in brightness to show the intensity of the sound from each channel. It's sort of hard to explain how a single round LED can be a level meter, so I made a short video with my digital camera to show what they look like when supplied with some 5.1 sound. The audio you can hear in the video is the sound coming from the headset (away from the camera). If I wanted to be really snazzy I would have done a Picture-In-Picture showing the live action on-screen and the amplifier LEDs at the same time, but I didn't want to be that snazzy. Okay, I don't actually know how to do that. Just watch the damn video, haha.

As with most audio equipment, I listened to a selection of music in lossless FLAC format, ranging from delicate and dynamic classical music to fierce and unrelenting drum and bass. I listen to music every day, mostly on headphones (Westone UM2, Sennheiser HD25-1 II, AKG K701), and am very familiar with certain tracks. So, if something sounds wildly different in a track I've listened to over 100 times, it becomes apparent very quickly. There was definitely something amiss with the sound when listening to music.
At first, I was playing tracks without any channel upmixing, which meant only the front left and front right speakers were playing. I was initially very skeptical about how well the 30mm drivers could perform in this scenario, but was surprised to find the low-end reproduced quite well. The bass control definitely helps here, and I found it best set at ~80%. What disappointed me at this stage was the fact that it seems as though a lot of the sound is either missing, muffled or accentuated. This problem remains even if applying Creative's upmix modes (CMSS Stereo, CMSS Surround), with and without bass redirection, and even when plugging each of the headset's jacks into the front channels of the soundcard, or an MP3 player. The problem is quite severe, with the headset performing worse than a pair of decent budget headphones (e.g. Koss Porta Pro, Panasonic RP-HTX7).
Okay, so on to the next stage of testing: pre-recorded surround sound from movies, in the form of Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1. This is the first time I heard discrete surround sound on the Psyko 5.1 headset, and I really have mixed feelings on how it sounds. The rear sounds do sound as though they are coming from behind you, but their position is not anywhere as clear as with real speakers, and I certainly remember checking over my shoulder much more when using Dolby Headphone mode on the Asus Xonar soundcards with stereo headphones. Psyko Audio Labs claim that the surround effect in this headset works for all types of ear shapes (pinnae), but it doesn't really work at all for me. My ears are fairly normal looking, and I can point to the direction of a sound in a blind test to a decent level of accuracy, but I really was fairly lost with the Psyko 5.1. Perhaps the handy-dandy, clear, pivoting windows on the ear cups reflect the sound around the ear, resulting in the front and rear sounds getting muddled up. There is quite a lot of sound leakage from the headband area itself, so maybe this is why a lot of the surround effect is missing.
My disappointment turned into painful annoyance however, as the headset's peculiar frequency response makes every movie sound like someone pirated it by recording the sound with microphones in a cinema. The bass trails off too early, there is also no punch to the high bass sounds of slams and thumps. Some of the dialogue sounds slightly distorted, like the sound from a speaker that has been over-driven at a party or music gig, it just sounds harsh when it shouldn't. You know when you hold a shell to your ear, and you are supposed to hear the sea? Except you don't, you just hear the real world in an odd way, some sounds are obscured, while other noises sound have a whistley, ringing quality added to them. That's how I would describe how the Psyko 5.1's sound is different to real-life.
The Psyko 5.1 headset is designed specifically for gaming, and it performs better than any other 5.1 headset I have heard, but this is largely down to the fact that other surround headsets are horrendous, whereas the Psyko 5.1 is merely mediocre. Compared to other 5.1 headsets, there is a much more even reproduction of sound from different angles, so grenades and gunshots sound consistent, whether to the side, out in front, or behind. One problem though is that the angle is not very clear at all, and I found it harder to discern the position of off-camera action by listening to the headset sound, compared to stereo headphones.
Also, unlike other 5.1 headsets, the engine noise of the Hummer in Crysis games sounds a lot more natural; the other surround headsets seem to lose the engine noise almost completely. Whereas the other 5.1 headsets lose specific sounds and have difficulty producing sounds from certain angles, this headset loses sound from the frequency imbalance. At times, it's subtle, like when your ears are blocked but haven't popped; you walk around and get on as usual, but don't consciously realise until your ears pop. However, if you are very familiar with certain games, you will notice a large portion of the audio either missing or sounding weird. I certainly felt lost and disoriented in Unreal Tournament 2004, even though I used to play it in European leagues.
The microphone was pretty standard in performance, not as good as the Hammer's mic, and suffered from its inability to be swung up or down. Not being able to position the microphone in the exact position above or below the mouth meant that the sound from the mic had more background noise compared to the other headsets.
Well, I expect many of you will be feeling very disappointed now. I certainly am. With the promise of natural-sounding surround sound, mimicking a home cinema speaker system, and a unique design directing sound in a novel way, I was genuinely excited and keen to hear more about the headset, and indeed hear the surround experience it could deliver. They say that what goes up must come down, and my excitement came down steadily throughout the review, despite my efforts to make the headset sound better. I really wanted this headset to sound amazing!
I don't have any sophisticated equipment to measure the frequency response at the ear cup, but I would expect to see the line of the resulting graph all over the place, with several narrow troughs and odd peaks scattered all the way through the audio spectrum. Towards the top end, some of these peaks make everything sound sharp and shrill, which makes for uncomfortable listening at times. It's quite unnerving and I couldn't watch movies for very long without feeling strangely cheated. I don't have any qualifications in acoustical engineering, but I know that designing a bass reflex tube in a speaker enclosure is a non-trivial matter. That's usually for a fairly regular-shaped wooden box. In this case, we have a system of plastic tunnels to transport the sound from the speakers to the ear cup. I think these WaveGuide tunnels affect the sound in a negative way, and it would probably be impossible to rectify completely.
Another thing that made me feel uncomfortable was the segmented headband cushions. I am very familiar with this type of headband underside, as my AKG K701 also has cushioned bumps, that took over a year to become comfortable. The problem in the case of the Psyko 5.1 headset, is that it is a lot heavier than other headsets or headphones, so the pressure from the bumps feels like someone wearing gloves is pressing down on your head. It's a feeling that you get used to after the first 5-10 minutes of gaming, and will probably forget about until you take the headset off. When I switched to any other of my headphones or headsets, it was a welcome relief to take the weight off from my head. I think the problem is the small cushions. Why could it not be one big cushion? I guess the design is more aesthetic and functional than ergonomic, in that the headband design is shaped to enable the placement of the speakers and the WaveGuides, but at the same time, there seems to be no reason to have small cushions on the headband other than to visually expose the technical design of the headset. If it was a single, large cushion, surely it would be more comfortable? Also, it would block some of the leaking sound from the headband, and perhaps improve the surround experience.
I applaud Psyko Audio Labs for approaching headset surround sound from a different angle, quite literally, but am just too disappointed with the Psyko 5.1 headset's unnatural reproduction of sounds to give it a good award. To me at least, it just sounds wrong.
- Unique and convenient flip-out ear cup windows let you quickly hear other people in the room
- LED level indicators enable confirmation of a 5.1 signal
- Weak surround sound experience
- Sound quality is marred by the bizarre frequency response
- Pressure from headset's considerable weight on to small cushions not very comfortable
- Mic boom cannot be moved up or down
