The Hundred Years' War: 1337-1453
Osprey Publishing, Nov 13, 2002 - History - 95 pages
There can be no doubt that military conflict between France and England dominated European history in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. This war is of considerable interest both because of its duration and the number of theatres in which it was fought. In this book, Hundred Years' War expert Dr Anne Curry reveals how the war can reveal much about the changing nature of warfare: the rise of infantry and the demise of the knight; the impact of increased use of gunpowder and the effect of the wars on generations of people around it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has illustrated its deep divide over the future of the U.S. prison at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay, voting down dueling bills to loosen and tighten restrictions on transferring terror suspects.
The result fails to advance significantly President Barack Obama's goal of closing the facility. But it blocks legislation that would have made that goal even harder.
An amendment to the annual defense policy bill providing Obama greater flexibility to try suspects in the U.S. or release them overseas fell eight votes shy of the 60-vote threshold needed for passage. The vote was 52-46.
An opposing amendment making it harder for Obama to move prisoners was defeated 55-43.
That leaves language in the bill only slightly advancing Obama's cause. Any law needs the GOP-led House's support, and that is unlikely.

Picture gallery: Sylla comes off bench to make debut at Everton
Check out an image gallery of Sylla in action.
The 22-year-old, wearing No.18, was a 79th minute replacement for Charles N'Zogbia.
Initially he was used as an advanced midfielder, linking up with Christian Benteke as Karim El Ahmadi and Ashley Westwood battled behind him.
But once Brett Holman replaced El Ahmadi, Sylla reverted back to his usual defence-minded game to partner Westwood in the central ground.
That allowed Holman to roam in front of the Frenchman.
Sylla looked far from overawed, crunching into tackles and looking to find space for a pass at every opportunity.
When he was on the ball he looked to be creative offensively too.
This was a very raw, initial showing for Sylla, who joined from French Division 2 side Clermont Foot but Lambert will have been happy with his contribution.
And he'll know Sylla will improve in the weeks and months ahead as Villa look to ease away from the danger zone.
Check out an image gallery of Sylla in action.

The inside of Killington Ski Resort's newly reconstructed Peak Lodge is seen on the inside during its opening day Friday.Staff Report
KILLINGTON — Killington Ski Resort opened its new Peak Lodge to the public today.
The ski area held a preview Thursday for holders of season passes.

The original Peak Lodge was built in 1967 as the summit terminal, the largest support building for Killington's first gondola.
Plans for the new $7 million lodge began more than two years ago. The 1967 lodge was taken down during the summer of 2011.
The foundation, footings and bottom floor walls of the new building were completed in the fall of 2012.
The lodge was designed by Robert Carl Williams of Pittsfield, The general contractor was Engelberth Construction of Colchester.

"K'wan continues his popular Hood Rat series with yet more of what his readers expect: action, murder, betrayal, sex, more action, familiar faces, and a few surprises." (Publishers Weekly)
"This book will have you checkin' for K'wan!"
This book gets all credit for starting my love affair with Urban Fiction! Once I began listening, I was instantly intrigued. I had no idea there were books like this! I had fallen out of reading and had only truly gotten back into it due to the writer's strike on TV. One day I decided to take chance a story called Section 8 and was blown away! I love how each chapter tells its own story all the while leaving you with a tidbit of info to keep in mind as the plot thickens. This story seemed to just unexpectedly pull you in each characters own triumph and dilemma and make you want to know more about their story whether it be good or bad. My favorite character was Gucci just because she was so down to earth and loyal. The interaction between her and her girlfriends felt real because K'wan truly made them individuals, flaws and all. Oh and this character Animal was the epitome of what I want in a boyfriend in my head lol. This was a great read/listen and once I was done, I had Welfare Wifey's next on deck! This may be the first book offered by the very talented author on audible.com, but it is merely scratching the surface when it comes to K'wan's catalog. Ya'll need to see about that man!!
"Nice Surprise!"
It took a minute for the writer to introduce all the characters, but once that was out of the way it was a very good listen, I got to where I would sit in my car and continue to listen after I got to my destination, I really enjoyed this one, I had alot of laugh out loud moments!!
"Good but the Sequeal is Better!"
I actually listened to the sequel Welfare Wifeys first before I realized that there was a book before it. This is a good listen but the narrator just didn't live up to the job that the Welfare Wifeys narrator gave. I still suggest this book because it gives you more insight on the charactors which I enjoyed.
"Truly a HOOD tale!"
This was a great listen! I wished it would have more a storyline ending so that the listeners know what happens to the characters. I loved "Animal" in this story. All in ALL it was was s good story.
"I love it, he's the best at what he does!!"
Entertainment at it's greatest!!! When I get to the end I always wish to hear more. I know every great thing comes to an end but luckily he has more great novels...
"good but not great"
I liked the story but I hated the way the chapters broke down with the music interlude. it was distracting and I could hear the pages turn.
Love Horror and Sci-Fi. I enjoy historical romance
"K'Wan sought after"
I tend to soak up anything by this writer. His gritty description of street life is eerily accurate. Love his books!
"Narration was Lacking"
No because I had to rewind constantly to make sense of all the grammatical errors made by the narrator.
The content I would compare to Welfare Wifey's but the listening experience for Welfare Wifey's is far much better.
Capital N.O. I wouldn't waste another credit.
Yes, I would definitely!
Plain and simple... Story=100% Narration=0%
Avid reader, listener and educator. I love a good story. I often use my audio account for my students as well. What an awesome tool.
I have about a 30 minute drive to work daily so I look forward to listening to a good story. I decided to listen when I was reading various reviews.
This story is gritty with unexpected twists. This author is dead on.
The narration was okay. Not always fond on females doing male voices. I got use to it.
"Slow start but worth reading"
This was the beginning to a wonderful ending of the animal you must read all to understand the story ! Section 8 welfare wifey eviction notice and the animal all worth reading but must read in order to understand all characters
Animal character
It was ok not bad better then most
Yes it has one welfare wifey
Good read

I cooked it according to the instructions, and there was very little water left after 4 minutes. Then I added the contents of the soup packet - and the result was very bitter. Not even too hot or spicy - just too bitter, probably because of the chili pepper. I tried to dilute it - was still bitter at first, then got watery with a hint of ginger but not enough salt and everything else. The noodles were decent, though.
Mmm not great

Disappointing to be honest. Very small size and the flavour was really weak. I wouldn't order them again.
Don't bother
Posted by dposnanski on May 19, 2014
I can't even say it tastes bad just because it doesn't even taste like anything. It would need a flavor package 3x it's size. All the other flavors I've tried are the same. I just gave it 2 stars for being organic and vegan.

Yes it is baffling.... the shorts report will be out Thursday and we will see if it went up or down. Shorts have been hurting OMER. This is a very good stock with fantastic potential.... I will buy more when they quit screwing with the stock.

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Athletic Bilbao keeper Gorka Iraizoz had a goal disallowed and they were denied a penalty in a dramatic finale to their 1-0 defeat by a Malaga side who finished with nine men as the La Liga season got underway on Saturday.
Bilbao were left fuming by the referee's decision to rule out Iraizoz's header, after the stopper came forward at a free-kick during added time, for what appeared to be an offside decision against Aymeric Laporte.
There was still time for Malaga keeper Carlos Kameni to upend Bilbao striker Aritz Aduriz which the referee did not see.
Malaga had taken the lead after 35 minutes when Luis Alberto knocked home the rebound after Iraizoz saved his spot kick.
However, the home side had to hang on in the final stages following red cards for Duda and Vitorino Antunes.
Valencia substitute Lucas Orban grabbed a late goal to earn a 1-1 draw at Sevilla after Rodrigo de Paul was given a red card within two minutes of coming on to make his debut.
Aleix Vidal had put Sevilla ahead before the break as he slotted home the rebound after his first shot was blocked by keeper Diego Alves.
Valencia reinforced their squad in the close season and have high hopes ahead of the expected takeover of the club by Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim, but apart from Pablo Piatti's first-half shot that hit both posts they caused few problems.
Vitolo could have added to Sevilla's lead but he shot wide after picking up a loose ball in the area and then De Paul, having just come off the bench, was dismissed after 65 minutes for elbowing Vidal in the face.
Valencia looked like they were heading for defeat before Orban, brought on for the final 10 minutes, bundled the ball over the line from close range to make the perfect start to his career at the Mestalla.
Granada's Ruben Rochina and Jean-Sylvain Babin scored in the second half to earn a 2-1 win over promoted Deportivo la Coruna, who had taken the lead through Cavaleiro after 20 minutes.

Your adventure in this city will take you through castles and canals, modern architecture and Viking history.
Copenhagen Pre-Cruise Stay Highlights
The Little Mermaid Statue
Ancient mariners knew the waters of Øresund were full of mermaids. Growing up with this lore inspired Hans Christian Andersen to pen "The Little Mermaid" in 1836. The Little Mermaid statue was unveiled in 1909, tying lore and literature together and forever linking Copenhagen to these legendary creatures.
Tivoli Gardens
Enjoy a tour of Tivoli Gardens. With origins dating back to the mid-19th century, Tivoli Gardens is the second oldest amusement park in the world.
Kronborg Castle
Walk the halls of Danish Royals and the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet at Kronborg Castle. Known for both its fortified strength and sheer beauty, the castle occupies a strategic position on the Sound (Øresund separating Denmark and Sweden).
Explore this former medieval capital of Denmark. Nestled in the Danish countryside, Roskilde is home to many historical sites including the Viking Ship Museum—where Junior Adventurers will paint their own Viking shield.

Three clever book editors, inspired by an extraordinary fable they heard years befoe, decide to have a little fun. Randomly feeding esoteric bits of knowledge into an incredible computer capable of inventing connections between all their entires, they think they are creating a long lazy game--until the game starts taking over....
Here is an incredible journey of thought and history, memory and fantasy, a tour de force as enthralling as anything Umberto Eco--or indeed anyone--has ever devised.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Editorial Reviews
Foucault's Pendulum, Eco's second novel, is a bit irritating. The plot consists of three Milan editors who concoct a series on the occult for an unscrupulous publishing house that Eco ridicules mercilessly. The work details medieval phenomena including the Knights Templar, an ancient order with a scheme to dominate the world. Unfortunately, few listeners will make sense of this failed thriller. -- James Dudley, Copiague, New York
"An intellectual adventure story, as sensational, thrilling, and packed with arcana as Raiders of the Lost Ark or The Count of Monte Cristo."—THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD
"Endlessly diverting . . . Even more intricate and absorbing than his international bestseller The Name of the Rose."—TIME

Read an Excerpt
That was when I saw the Pendulum.
The sphere, hanging from a long wire set into the ceiling of the choir, swayed back and forth with isochronal majesty.
I knewbut anyone could have sensed it in the magic of that serene breathingthat the period was governed by the square root of the length of the wire and by p, that number which, however irrational to sublunar minds, through a higher rationality binds the circumference and diameter of all possible circles. The time it took the sphere to swing from end to end was determined by an arcane conspiracy between the most timeless of measures: the singularity of the point of suspension, the duality of the plane's dimensions, the triadic beginning of p, the secret quadratic nature of the root, and the unnumbered perfection of the circle itself.
I also knew that a magnetic device centered in the floor beneath issued its command to a cylinder hidden in the heart of the sphere, thus assuring continual motion. This device, far from interfering with the law of the Pendulum, in fact permitted its manifestation, for in a vacuum any object hanging from a weightless and unstretchable wire free of air resistance and friction will oscillate for eternity.
The copper sphere gave off pale, shifting glints as it was struck by the last rays of the sun that came through the great stained-glass windows. Were its tip to graze, as it had in the past, a layer of damp sand spread on the floor of the choir, each swing would make a light furrow, and the furrows, changing direction imperceptibly, would widen to form a breach, a groove with radial symmetrylike the outline of a mandala or pentaculum, a star, a mystic rose. No, more a tale recorded on an expanse of desert, in tracks left by countless caravans of nomads, a story of slow, millennial migrations, like those of the people of Atlantis when they left the continent of Mu and roamed, stubbornly, compactly, from Tasmania to Greenland, from Capricorn to Cancer, from Prince Edward Island to the Svalbards. The tip retraced, narrated anew in compressed time what they had done between one ice age and another, and perhaps were doing still, those couriers of the Masters. Perhaps the tip grazed Agarttha, the center of the world, as it journeyed from Samoa to Novaya Zemlya. And I sensed that a single pattern united Avalon, beyond the north wind, to the southern desert where lies the enigma of Ayers Rock.
At that moment of four in the afternoon of June 23, the Pendulum was slowing at one end of its swing, then falling back lazily toward the center, regaining speed along the way, slashing confidently through the hidden parallelogram of forces that were its destiny.
Had I remained there despite the passage of the hours, to stare at that bird's head, that spear's tip, that obverse helmet, as it traced its diagonals in the void, grazing the opposing points of its astigmatic circumference, I would have fallen victim to an illusion: that the Pendulum's plane of oscillation had gone full circle, had returned to its starting point in thirty-two hours, describing an ellipse that rotated around its center at a speed proportional to the sine of its latitude. What would its rotation have been had it hung instead from the dome of Solomon's Temple? Perhaps the Knights had tried it there, too. Perhaps the solution, the final meaning, would have been no different. Perhaps the abbey church of Saint-Martin-des-Champs was the true Temple. In any case, the experiment would work perfectly only at the Pole, the one place where the Pendulum, on the earth's extended axis, would complete its cycle in twenty-four hours.
But this deviation from the Law, which the Law took into account, this violation of the rule did not make the marvel any less marvelous. I knew the earth was rotating, and I with it, and Saint-Martin-des-Champs and all Paris with me, and that together we were rotating beneath the Pendulum, whose own plane never changed direction, because up there, along the infinite extrapolation of its wire beyond the choir ceiling, up toward the most distant galaxies, lay the Only Fixed Point in the universe, eternally unmoving.
So it was not so much the earth to which I addressed my gaze but the heavens, where the mystery of absolute immobility was celebrated. The Pendulum told me that, as everything movedearth, solar system, nebulae and black holes, all the children of the great cosmic expansionone single point stood still: a pivot, bolt, or hook around which the universe could move. And I was now taking part in that supreme experience. I, too, moved with the all, but I could see the One, the Rock, the Guarantee, the luminous mist that is not body, that has no shape, weight, quantity, or quality, that does not see or hear, that cannot be sensed, that is in no place, in no time, and is not soul, intelligence, imagination, opinion, number, order, or measure. Neither darkness nor light, neither error nor truth.
I was roused by a listless exchange between a boy who wore glasses and a girl who unfortunately did not.
"It's Foucault's Pendulum," he was saying. "First tried out in a cellar in 1851, then shown at the Observatoire, and later under the dome of the Panthéon with a wire sixty-seven meters long and a sphere weighing twenty-eight kilos. Since 1855 it's been here, in a smaller version, hanging from that hole in the middle of the rib."
"What does it do? Just hang there?"
"It proves the rotation of the earth. Since the point of suspension doesn't move . . ."
"Why doesn't it move?"
"Well, because a point . . . the central point, I mean, the one right in the middle of all the points you see . . . it's a geometric point; you can't see it because it has no dimension, and if something has no dimension, it can't move, not right or left, not up or down. So it doesn't rotate with the earth. You understand? It can't even rotate around itself. There is no 'itself.'"
"But the earth turns."
"The earth turns, but the point doesn't. That's how it is. Just take my word for it."
"I guess it's the Pendulum's business."
Idiot. Above her head was the only stable place in the cosmos, the only refuge from the damnation of the panta rei, and she guessed it was the Pendulum's business, not hers. A moment later the couple went offhe, trained on some textbook that had blunted his capacity for wonder, she, inert and insensitive to the thrill of the infinite, both oblivious of the awesomeness of their encountertheir first and last encounterwith the One, the Ein-Sof, the Ineffable. How could you fail to kneel down before this altar of certitude?
I watched with reverence and fear. In that instant I was convinced that Jacopo Belbo was right. What he told me about the Pendulum Ihad attributed to esthetic raving, to the shapeless cancer taking gradual shape in his soul, transforming the game into reality without his realizing it. But if he was right about the Pendulum, perhaps all the rest was true as well: the Plan, the Universal Plot. And in that case I had been right to come here, on the eve of the summer solstice. Jacopo Belbo was not crazy; he had simply, through his game, hit upon the truth.
But the fact is that it doesn't take long for the experience of the Numinous to unhinge the mind.
I tried then to shift my gaze. I followed the curve that rose from the capitals of the semicircle of columns and ran along the ribs of the vault toward the key, mirroring the mystery of the ogive, that supreme static hypocrisy which rests on an absence, making the columns believe that they are thrusting the great ribs upward and the ribs believe that they are holding the columns down, the vault being both all and nothing, at once cause and effect. But I realized that to neglect the Pendulum that hung from the vault while admiring the vault itself was like becoming drunk at the stream instead of drinking at the source.
The choir of Saint-Martin-des-Champs existed only so that, by virtue of the Law, the Pendulum could exist; and the Pendulum existed so that the choir could exist. You cannot escape one infinite, I told myself, by fleeing to another; you cannot escape the revelation of the identical by taking refuge in the illusion of the multiple.
Still unable to take my eyes from the key of the vault, I retreated, step by step, for I had learned the path by heart in the few minutes I had been there. Great metal tortoises filed past me on either side, imposing enough to signal their presence at the corner of my eyes. I fell back along the nave toward the front entrance, and again those menacing prehistoric birds of wire and rotting canvas loomed over me, evil dragonflies that some secret power had hung from the ceiling of the nave. I saw them as sapiential metaphors, far more meaningful than their didactic pretext. A swarm of Jurassic insects and reptiles, allegory of the long terrestrial migrations the Pendulum was tracing, aimed at me like angry archons with their long archeopterix-beaks: the planes of Bréguet, Blériot, Esnault, and the helicopter of Dufaux.

This book has been described as the "thinking man's Da Vinci Code." Eco's writing generally, and this novel especially, is extremely deep, sophisticated, and intellectually involved. Thus, it's not for everyone: no thrilling sex, murder, and intrigue. Eco draws from the works of Jorge Luis Borges, which I recommend for some background into the intellectual workings of this novel. For example, there is much underlying discussion of various "secret" societies that strain to utilize all manner of tenuous conspiracy theories, historical shortcuts, and intellectual assumptions that cause fantastic conclusions, which in turn leads to the groups' sense of self-prophised legitimacy (or even preceived omniscience). Borges' writing alludes to this only vaguely, whereas Eco is much more specific, developing this idea and applying it to modern "secret" societies and conspiracy theories.
Again, reader be warned: this novel takes much effort, multiple readings, and contemplation to fully appreciate. You will see right away that Eco does not think highly of "Da Vinci Code" conspiracy theories, but much more though-provoking is whether Eco (or the narrator) believes in any creative or faith-based believe systems at all. For example, a principal character in the novel utilizes the BASIC computer programming language to produce "poetry." Does this character, the narrator, or the novel thus imply that creative works such as poetry are so easily contrived and devoid of deeper meaning? I'm unsure myself, therefore requiring another read of the novel.
An intellectual approach to this novel will yield great appreciation both for the work and for the author. Do not pick up this novel expecting to have your heart racing! Also, I strongly recommend "In The Name of the Rose" by Eco as kind of a "Introduction to Eco's World 101" course.
Massively detailed, pleasantly convoluted, and surprisingly humorous - a rollercoaster for the mind!
Foucault¿s Pendulum starts with Casaubon, a student studying the Knights Templar. He connects with Belbo who works for a book publisher and they hit it off and start planning a series of books mainly dealing with historical conspiracies. Before long they¿re writing one of their own. The Kabbala comes in here and Masons, Napoleon and mainly the Knights Templar and a huge centuries-long conspiracy they think they¿re finding. ----Watching it all come together is astonishing, and then, just when you think you¿ve got it, you start asking whether the book your reading is part of the conspiracy or something else. When you¿re finished with Foucault's Pendulum, I doubt you¿ll be sure about exactly what happened. To an extent, that¿s the main idea.----The other recurrent idea here is that everything in the past is relative to the witness who sees it, even to the point where you can¿t know what¿s real or not, which must be a hard lesson for someone like Eco to teach since he¿s invested so much in learning about the past.
The book could have used a severe editor. It should be half as long. If you are interested in secret societies, conspiracy theories, and the psychology of belief, the book might interest you. The plot itself, which involves a literary fraud that enmeshes its creators, is fascinating. But not for 700 pages. If you have a choice, read the Nook version. There are many characters that you will want to refresh your memory about with the Find feature, and hundreds of obscure references and rare words that you will want to Look Up.
One of my all time favorites.

FIG. 1: Roughly the size of a thick paperback, the V-Machine is a highly portable solution for hosting VST plug-ins without your computer.
The advent of Steinberg's VST plug-in format was a pivotal moment in the history of music technology. Shedding the shackles of dedicated, bank-breaking outboard gear for software-based signal processing laid the foundation for today's modern project studio, raising the bar for the pace and quality of music production across the board. Still, plug-ins have long been dogged by one irksome characteristic: they're designed to run on standard computers, making them cumbersome to use on the road or onstage.
Enter SM Pro Audio's V-Machine, a handy device conceived to bridge the gap between plug-ins and portability. The concept isn't new — Muse Research released a similar product, the Receptor, in 2003 — but the V-Machine packs this capability into a compact, road-ready chassis that's smaller than most portable audio interfaces yet surprisingly affordable. The V-Machine works only with Windows VST plug-ins, and its internal architecture relies on the DLL files associated with those plug-ins. Fortunately, compatibility with Mac plug-ins (as well as Syncrosoft copy-protected plug-ins) is in the works.
Is this little unit the holy grail of VST portability that working musicians have been clamoring for? Read on for a rundown on what works, what doesn't, and how the V-Machine might fit into your rig.
The most striking thing about the V-Machine is how tiny it is — about 4.5 × 7 × 1.5 inches — about the same size as a large paperback (see Fig. 1). The box contains only a slim Getting Started manual, but more-extensive PDF documentation is available on the enclosed driver disc. Online video tutorials and a dedicated knowledge base are encouraging signs that support will be ongoing and comprehensive.
FIG. 2: The V-Machine''s tidy rear panel sports plenty of USB connectors alongside unbalanced outputs and a stereo 1/8-inch input jack.
On the rear panel, one USB type B port offers connectivity to a Windows-based host computer, allowing you to transfer plug-ins to the V-Machine and run the custom control software, VFX. In addition, two USB type A ports let you connect MIDI controllers and flash drives without a PC (see Fig. 2).
Supplementing two unbalanced ¼-inch outputs, the headphone jack is a convenient way to monitor the V-Machine's plug-ins. It's particularly handy for quickly auditioning plug-ins without patching the unit into a larger system — think hotel rooms, airplanes, or anywhere else that proper studio monitors would be a tight fit. I found the amp slightly underpowered, though, and I was disappointed that the connection is ⅛ inch rather than a studio-standard ¼-inch headphone jack.
I was even more disappointed by the V-Machine's ⅛-inch audio input. I haven't seen a piece of studio gear with a minijack input since I sold my old DAT Walkman back in the mid-'90s, but a minijack is the only way to get audio into the V-Machine. I was hoping to seamlessly integrate the device into my studio setup as an additional VST effects processor, but aside from the obvious inconvenience of adapters or Y-cables required by using a miniplug, the fact that the audio input is unbalanced — along with the rest of the unit's I/O — gave me the impression that the V-Machine is aimed solely at live performance and not pro studio use.
The V-Machine's front panel is sleek and straightforward, with a large, backlit LCD monopolizing the top left quadrant, and four rows of two rubberized buttons located just to the screen's right-hand side. The LCD is divided into four lines that display bank, preset, parameter, and parameter values, and the buttons increment or decrement the adjacent value displayed onscreen. Text on the LCD is big and easily readable from a distance in both dim and brightly lit environments, and information from all VST plug-ins is presented in a clear-cut and consistent fashion. Patch selection is a bit sketchy as there's no button to load or cancel — you simply scroll to the desired patch and pause on it for more than a second. That's not bad for preplanned live performances, but also not conducive to casually scrolling through presets.
Each pair of buttons serves a secondary purpose when pressed in tandem, providing additional control over the unit right from the front panel, including a quick MIDI Learn command that's convenient for mapping controllers to plug-in parameters on the fly.
The VFX software serves as the bridge between your PC and the V-Machine, allowing you to configure and tweak plug-ins using the native onscreen GUI. It's essentially a 4-channel virtual mixer with 2 sends and a master fader; each channel can be loaded with up to 3 plug-ins, giving you slots for a maximum 21 simultaneous plug-ins. The VFX software's potential for flexibility is quite impressive, and you can easily create complex, layered stacks of instruments by placing multiple plug-ins on each channel. Although the VFX software runs in Windows only, SM Pro Audio says that both Mac and Linux versions are in the pipe, so users of those platforms may eventually find the V-Machine a useful tool for running plug-ins that aren't native to their operating system.
Loading plug-ins into the V-Machine can be a chore, and the easiest way to minimize the pain is by using a VFX Info file, a small text file that tells the VFX software how to properly install the plug-in on the V-Machine without errors. Unfortunately, VFX Info files are not available for every plug-in you might own, and my experience installing VSTs without an Info file was a crapshoot at best. When I tried importing AudioRealism's ABL2 plug-in, for instance, the VFX software crashed hard and dumped me to the desktop. However, simpler, single-file VST plug-ins like Big Tick Audio's Ticky Clav installed easily, and I was able to get Arturia's Moog Modular V up and running flawlessly thanks to a VFX Info file available on the SM Pro Audio Web site (see the online bonus material at emusician.com).
The V-Machine's clean front panel is great for traveling, and the lack of any knobs or faders means less stuff dangling off the unit and potentially getting snagged or broken in a careless moment. However, fewer tactile controls also means more difficulty when trying to tweak parameters; as a result, my hopes of using the V-Machine as a standalone effects processor for DJ sets were dashed. An external MIDI controller is absolutely essential for getting the most out of the V-Machine.
Once I patched in a good controller, though, the V-Machine was a breeze to use, and the large LCD makes it perfect for onstage use. Latency was so low as to be unnoticeable, even with large stacks of VST instruments. I never encountered a situation in which the V-Machine crashed or locked up. Its stability during hours-long sessions was comforting, leading me to believe that the V-Machine can be trusted to perform reliably in critical live-performance situations.
The V-Machine is a valiant effort with a great deal of potential, but in its current form, its compromises are obvious. It is a well-built little box, clearly targeted at traveling artists and built to withstand the rigors of the road, and in many ways it's straightforward and easy to use. Hooking up USB MIDI controllers is a breeze, and the unit is rock solid at negligibly low latencies.
However, the V-Machine's lack of knobs or faders makes it a hard sell for anyone looking for an all-in-one standalone VST solution, and the omission of professional-grade I/O is a serious oversight. With a few minor upgrades — balanced audio, additional ¼-inch connectors, and a few knobs and faders — the V-Machine would easily find its way into stage rigs and DJ setups worldwide. SM Pro Audio does have a larger version that adds these features in development (the V-Rack), and pro studio users would be best off waiting for this more comprehensive unit.
Still, for basic VST playback and onstage work, the V-Machine performs solidly and reliably at a bargain-basement price. The pint-size powerhouse packs an impressive amount of storage and processing muscle into its diminutive frame, wraps it in a rugged metal chassis, and makes connectivity a breeze for quick setup at gigs.

I didn't mind it, either, as I also liked her "tape only. 9.95" remark. Besides, at the time, she wasn't done in Special, and you only had a blob of a text. I certainly understood why they wanted to spice her up.
Although, I was surprised by the torpedos she was carrying, so to speak. Oh, well, that's the way it goes, right?

How could it happen all the same time and the time when GM went Bankrupt and became the largest car maker in the world. Isn't it kinda fishy? For year, almost no one complaint about TM cars, all the sudden, old cars, new cars had the same problem all at once and the problem stop all at once Ummm? or it's just human Psychology?
Yep follow the money, tax money.
OMG - what a MORON.
How can it be a conspiracy when it's the toyoDUH OWNERS that are suing for sudden acceleration?!?!?!?!
Shut your pie hole...
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Maybe you should go back and review the NHTSA complaint web site before you come up with bizarre conspiracy theories. It's all on record the number of complaints filed by Toyota owners dating back to 2002.
Kind of just shot down your theory pig brain!
I didn't say there is no Sudden Acceleration, but when it all happened at the same time, the same year? Maybe they wait until GM filing for Bankruptcy and Toyota becoming the largest auto maker in the world to come out? Come on. Maybe there are only a few events and all the sudden the conspiracy took that opportunity to elevate the problem. There are some who didn't have that problem at all also came out. If you do the search online, Toyota is not the only one have this issue, there are plenty of car companies have the same problem including GM, Search!
Imagine that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Good old Obama & the boys.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Joseph Conrad's long experience as a working seaman enriched and deepened his literary gifts, making him the most brilliant and convincing writer of seafaring's greatest age. In the three sea stories collected here, he makes deft use of the maritime setting to enact moral dramas of men tested by the elements and byone another.
The Nigger of the Narcissus has been hailed as Conrad's earliest masterpiece. When a West Indian sailor on board the merchant ship "Narcissus" falls ill his condition sparks conflict among the crew, which threatens to erupt in mutiny under the pressure of a terrifying gale. Typhoon, the gripping story of a steamship captain who stubbornly steers into a major tempest and the crew's ensuing struggle to survive the raging waters, is distinguished by one of the most thrillingly evoked storms in all of literature. The Shadow-Line is a dramatically fictionalized account of Conrad's first command as a young sea captain trapped aboard a becalmed, fever-wracked, and seemingly haunted ship an ordeal that marks for him the shadow-line between youth and maturity. Suspenseful, atmospheric, and deceptively simple, this intense story reflects the complex themes of Conrad's most famous novels, "Lord Jim" and "Heart of Darkness."
With an introduction by Martin Seymour-Smith.
About the Author
Polish author Joseph Conrad is considered to be one of the greatest English-language novelists, a remarkable achievement considering English was not his first language. Conrad s literary works often featured a nautical setting, reflecting the influences of his early career in the Merchant Navy, and his depictions of the struggles of the human spirit in a cold, indifferent world are best exemplified in such seminal works as Heart of Darkness, Lord JimM, The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Regarded as a forerunner of modernist literature, Conrad s writing style and characters have influenced such distinguished writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William S. Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, and George Orwell, among many others. Many of Conrad s novels have been adapted for film, most notably Heart of Darkness, which served as the inspiration and foundation for Francis Ford Coppola s 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
Praise For…
"My own conviction, sweeping all those reaches of living fiction I know, is that Conrad's figure stands out from the field like the Alps from the Piedmont plain." —H. L. Mencken
