The agonizing wait for the the families of two people missing continues.
Courage Agbezorlie and Sandra Mensah disappeared Sunday night after going to a pharmacy in west end Ahuntsic-Cartierville to buy a transit pass.
Police are appealing to the public for additional information in the case.
Christina Enchill says it's not like her brother to be in any trouble.
"If they can hear us, they should believe that we are all here for them, we are praying for them and whatever they are going thru, they should stay positive and we know that God will find them alive", Mensah told CTV News.
A car the man borrowed from a friend was found Friday morning not far from the drugstore.
It was checked by police, but, it seems, no clues were found.
Police set up a command post hoping to learn more about what happened.
As well, they began going door-to-door in search of witnesses.
Agbezorlie, who's a pastor, is 28-years old, 1.77 m and 74 kg, (5'10" and 165 lbs).
He has with short brown hair, brown eyes and dark skin and had his laptop with him.
Mensah is 26 years old, 1.67 m and 68 kg, (5'6" and 150 lbs), has brown eyes and long, braided black hair.
Anyone with information is asked to 9-1-1, or info-crime at 514-393-1133.

Coffee habit linked to lower liver cancer risk, study says
In their continuing quest to prove that coffee is, indeed, a health food, medical researchers analyzed the health records of nearly 180,000 Americans and determined that the ones with a daily java habit were less likely to get a common type of liver cancer than their less-caffeinated counterparts.
The study, presented this week at the American Association for Cancer Research's annual meeting in San Diego, may not be enough to get your coffee break covered by your health insurance, but the results were striking.
Compared with people who drank no more than six cups of coffee per week, those who drank one to three cups per day were 29 percent less likely to develop hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC, which is the most common form of liver cancer. Serious coffee drinkers -- those who downed four or more cups per day -- were 42 percent less likely to be diagnosed with the disease.
"Now we can add HCC to the list of medical ailments, such as Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke, that may be prevented by coffee intake," study leader V. Wendy Setiawan, an assistant professor of preventive medicine at the University of Southern California's Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, said in a statement.
Though she is not a physician, she added: "Daily coffee consumption should be encouraged in individuals who are at high risk for HCC."
Hepatocellular carcinoma accounts for about 85 percent of all liver cancers in the United States.

Endoscopic sclerotherapy is a procedure to treat bleeding esophageal varices and prevent future variceal bleeding. The procedure involves the passage of an esophagoscope and injection of a sclerosing agent into or around esophageal varices. The mechanisms by which injection sclerotherapy controls variceal hemorrhage are not understood completely but are thought to involve damage to the intima, intraluminal thrombosis, and intravascular fibrous organization (1-7).
Important questions on the appropriate use of endoscopic sclerotherapy are unresolved. There is disagreement on the indications for treatment; type of esophagoscope and anesthetic to use; type and volume of sclerosing agent to use; adjunctive supportive measures;

Could "Small Is Beautiful" Replace "Too Big to Fail?"
I encourage you to read "The Quiet Coup," by Simon Johnson in the May 2009 issue of The Atlantic. Johnson is a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund. Specifically, focus on the final section of the article, "The Way Out." I was struck by Johnson's discussion of the inherent problems of large-scale banks.

With GM completely shuttering its Pontiac brand, the future of the bankrupt automaker's joint venture with Toyota, the New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) plant, has been a big point of speculation.
Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe told reporters that he hopes to continue operations at the NUMMI plant with GM, and even said his company would consider aiding GM in its restructuring plans if approached.
But GM CEO Fritz Henderson has said there would be no need for NUMMI after Pontiac disappears. Currently, the NUMMI plant produces the Pontiac Vibe crossover, along with the Toyota Corolla sedan and Tacoma pickup. Henderson added that nothing had been decided regarding NUMMI at this point.
Toyota spokesman Hideaki Homma said the Japanese company has not received any proposals from GM regarding how to go forward with the venture. If GM declines to continue its partnership with Toyota, Homma said Toyota had two options:
"We can continue by taking over GM's share or quit the California production project," he said. A takeover of GM's stake at NUMMI could be a healthy investment for Toyota, which could avoid heavy profit hits from importing vehicles by increasing production in the U.S instead.

When you're staring at 1-8 record and a two-year conference losing streak in the midst of a massive rebuilding of a program, it's easy to panic and stray away from your plan, but Kansas coach Charlie Weis will have none it.
At his weekly press conference, Tuesday, Weis was quick to talk about what a coach must do in a situation like what he has at Kansas.
"Do not ever deviate from the course. Have a plan and never deviate away for it," Weis said.
The Jayhawks will head to Lubbock this week to try and once again earn their second win of the year at Texas Tech. The Red Raiders (6-3, 3-3) are coached by Tommy Tubberville, who Weis is good friends with. The two met while on a trip a few years ago visiting troops when Weis was coach at Notre Dame and Tubberville was roaming the sidelines at Auburn.
While it's gotten frustrating at times, as the season draws closer to the end, Weis remains focus to finishing this season strong in preparation for next year.
"The goals never change. You just add to them, but the main goals never change," Weis said.
The brightest side of this year's Kansas team has been the running games led by James Sims, who has emerged as perhaps the best running back in the Big 12, but Weis is now seeing other traits come out in the junior back. Weis says Sims is starting become more of a potential leader on the team, before he was just a ball carrier.
Sims' backfield mate Taylor Cox will receive more carries. Weis praised the way Cox goes about his job, saying he only plays at one speed. He also was quick to point out that Cox is very similar to Sims in the way he runs the ball.
The depth chart is the same this week after changes the past few weeks.
Running back Tony Pierson is expected to have the brace on his injured elbow removed.

This looks like a great tweak, but for $4.99?!!! I don't think so.
Did it increased in price cause it is $4.99 now…
for some reason mine wont work and its on? i used redsn0w on ios 5.0.1 4th gen 64gb ipod any help?
Created by chpwn! :D
Its the cracked version of Zephyr buggy for anyone? Mine acts wierd when i swipe up to access my apps running in the background
so what about playing fruit ninja or flight control?
CardSwitcher changed name to LameSwitcher.
If your in landscape mode it won't work :)
Also it is updated with version 1.0.1 so update the tweak
LOL your kidding right?
CardSwitcher is way better
Once you have "Activator" installed follow these steps:
First go to Settings on your iPhone -> Activator -> Anywhere
From there you can see all the functions available to you for launching apps… tons and tons of gestures from pinching to sliding, double tapping etc. You won't need to touch your home button again.
how can I do it with activator?
Actually Zephyr swipe up to activate switcher is available from Activator setting..if speaking of swipe left right i think by 1 finger is not really good at all…Cause if play games or others,might accidently swipe out
Guys, if you want zephyr for free, just add this repo : boerse-repo(DOT)net/
am i the only one who didn't find this tweak in cydia ?
so no one else has an issue with this rebooting to safe mode when trying to switch apps?
activator is much better and its very customizable imho..and its FREE!
it will be annoying.. i experienced it lol
i prefer activator, more options with gesturing but thnks for showing this.
Thank you very much for your answer, I'll install it, that might be the problem because it asked me to update, but I didn't because I was not in the mood and maybe it is outdated. Thanks again!
Interesting little fact, Zephyr is also the name of the multitouch driver used by iOS devices.
Completely remove and Reinstall itunes/apple mobile device assistant. Also make sure you don't have any virtual machines running.
what if your playing a game that requires you to move your finger around the screen like fruit ninja
Can't find this in Cydia.
I could restore it but then the important photos I took today would be gone and I really need those. I couldn't back them up obviously because I took them today. SSH works but very, very slow. Should I transfer the photos and videos by SSH and then restore? You think that would be the solution? That's the best I could come up with. please help!

Vintage-Indigo Studio Day Sofa Slipcover
Reviewed by 5 customers
Comments about Vintage-Indigo Studio Day Sofa Slipcover:
Assembly was easy. Feels solid and durable. Could be better quality fill in the pillows and cushion but overall good value for the price.
Comments about Vintage-Indigo Studio Day Sofa Slipcover:
I'm very pleased with the slipcover, and will be purchasing a second one in a different color in a few weeks. After seeing this shade instead of the pale ivory color of the original slipcover, we feel as if we have a new piece of furniture because the difference is so great. In a way, it's almost amazing.
Comments about Vintage-Indigo Studio Day Sofa Slipcover:
This is my third cover for the daybed and I really love the color of this one. The fit is very good.
Comments about Vintage-Indigo Studio Day Sofa Slipcover:
I needed to buy a new slipcover after my original slipcover's zipper broke. I wanted it to be darker in color since white is difficult to keep clean - and selected this indigo slipcover. Unlike stated in the page details, this slipcover is machine washable - cold, gentle cycle using non-chlorine based detergent and dried on gentle cycle. I love the color of this slipcover, it's like a dark denim and the fabric seems to be heavier duty than the first slipcover. Looks really nice so far - I plan to scotchgard it so it stays that way.
Comments about Vintage-Indigo Studio Day Sofa Slipcover:
I ordered this cover in hopes that it was a dark/navy blue. It's not. It was hard to tell with my monitor, and none of our local stores had it in stock, so I took a chance. I would call this a blue gray (i.e., colonial blue or french blue). It looked like a nice sturdy twill type fabric and I would have kept it had it been the color I need. I may end up purchasing an inexpensive queen futon cover in navy elsewhere (for the length) and cut it down to fit. We'll see how that goes...

Most Bang For The Buck in '89
by Challenger from Atco,NJ | February 9, 2013
The '89 5.0 LX Hatchback is an awesome car if you can still find one in good shape . Most back in the day were wrapped around poles or beat to death drag racing. I have owned mine since brand new. Still stock except for Flowmaster mufflers and K&N Air Filter. You can hook up a Nitro kit to this Engine. The Cops used to use them as Speed Intercepters in California and North Carolina. I have young guys every Spring, knocking on my door asking me if my 5.0 is for sale. Resale value now on these cars is great if they are in decent condition. My car has an automatic tranny which is now shot, but at least I got over 100k on it before it started slipping. The Engines will last 200k or more. This also was the 25th Anniversary of the Mustang. Hope this helps somebody who is interested in the old Fox body Stangs.

We were very satisfied with the apartment. The apartment was clean and the service was very good and nice. I can only recommend the apartment ....
Wir waren super zufrieden mit der Wohnung. Die Wohnung war sauber und der Service war sehr gut und nett. Ich kann die Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen ....
Hello, I had 4 wonderful days in Athens, we were 4 people and the apartment which is also very good and clean. In particular, the proximity to the center, the Acropolis and Plaka has surprised us, on foot it is 10-15min, by taxi it does not cost more than 5 euros. George was a good host. Greeting
Hallo, ich hatte 4 Wunderschöne Tage in Athen, wir waren 4 Personen und die Wohnung was auch sehr gut und sauber. Vor allem die Nähe zum Zentrum, Akropolis und Plaka hat uns überrascht, zu Fuss sind es 10-15min, mit dem Taxi kostet es nicht auch mehr als 5 Euro. George war auch ein guter Gastgeber. Gruss
Very nice appartment. Well situated. great view. Everything was also very well organised. Great trip we had.
Housing consistent with the description, located 20 minutes walk from the metro station Piaeus, which can cause you to Athens Centre for 4 € (for the full day)., Or at the airport for 14 € for 2 people in 80mn .
The apartment is located in 6èeme floor of a pretty quiet building with a terrace overlooking the rooftops. A Carrefour supermarket is 200m, and a lot of small shops are nearby.
Very good internet connection, but the TV programs were not available.
We have not had the pleasure of meeting George with whom I have had exchanges by mail very courteous.
Logement conforme à la description, situé à 20mn à pied de la station de métro Piaeus, qui peut vous amener à Athènes Centre pour 4€ (pour la journée complète)., ou bien à l'aéroport pour 14€ pour 2 personnes en 80mn.
L'appartement est situé au 6èeme étage d'un immeuble assez calme, équipé d'une terrasse avec vue sur les toits. Un supermarché Carrefour est à 200m, et pas mal de petits commerces sont disponibles à proximité.
Très bonne connexion internet, mais les programmes TV n'étaient pas disponibles.
Nous n'avons pas eu le plaisir de rencontrer Georges avec qui j'ai eu des échanges par mails très courtois.
Original apartment, cosy, large,
located in the city center, very close to animated places, ok to visit the city by foot
Clean, well equipped, washing machine, dishwashing...
It's a loft, so if you need intimity, it's quite difficult, room are only separated with trick drapes.
Indeed a charming and fairly spacious appartement. Also, the large balcony - which is not on the pictures - is wonderful. Since the apt. is on the 6th floor you get much sun there, from early in the morning. We had breakfast on the terrace every day!
We didn't meet George personally, but he had arranged for someone else to hand over the keys and was always available by mail or phone. When we missed a blanket and had a problem with the internet connection, it was solved within a day.
The apartment is in a convenient central location and George was helpful in arranging transfers which was much appreciated. First impressions wasn't so good though, apartment is not much bigger than a hotel room and not as "High-End" as I imagined, bed hadn't been made (we had to make it), linen for bed wrong size with pillow sheets missing, cleaning clothes left on floor, some power points weren't working or absent where expected (e.g. kitchen) and the inside door handle would come off in your hand if not careful. However, Athens hotels are expensive so the apartment represented reasonable value, and we may have been the exception re our issues.
The apartment was very comfortable. It was very accessible and in a great location. I would stay here again with ought a doubt. The only negative comment I could make on the apartment is that the hot water tank was not sufficient for one to wash before running out of hot water. All went well until the morning we had to leave. We were not told that the front building door is bolted at night and therefore when we left to get our taxi at 7am we were locked in. Thankfully the taxi driver helped us by ringing everyones door bell until someone came to help. Otherwise we would have lost our plane. The emergency door leading to the basement was also bolted. Shudder to think what would happen if there was an emergency evacuation scenario.So before vacating the apartment for good please remember to check that the front building door is not bolted shut.
The hotel was great! The area is a bit noisy, but you get used to it, the crowd that had begun at dawn. The beach was close but it was pretty crowded and messy so I had to go out every day can get away from beaches to search. The city, the bazaar is 10 minutes away by car. It was nice but a shame that such garbage, this was a bit dirty there would be observed.
The accommodation, receiving the keys was discussed according to each, it was absolutely fine !!!
French for "bobo", the place is ideal for the first view (exceptional), then the situation (quiet and 3 minutes walk from "peripatos" path that goes around the Acropolis ). For the hostess Marianne attentive and fluent French. And for "Terrace" surrounded by plants and trees which grow 2 which act as umbrella and a rooftop swimming pool that allows a necessary relaxation after hot days of sightseeing. Our favorite heart of the 5-occupied housing during our stay in Greece (tied with another). Thank you to Marianne.
Pour les français "bobo", l'endroit est idéal, pour la vue d'abord (d'exception), la situation ensuite ( calme et à 3 mn à pieds du "peripatos" : chemin qui fait le tour de l'Acropole). Pour l'hôtesse : Marianne attentive et parlant couramment français. Et puis, pour "la Terrasse" entourée de plantes et sur laquelle poussent 2 oliviers qui font office de parasol et une piscine sur le toit qui permet une détente nécessaire après de chaudes journées de visites. Notre coup de cœur parmi les 5 logements occupés pendant notre séjour en Grèce(à égalité avec un autre). Merci à Marianne.

DENVER — With each passing decade, the images and advertisements in the monthly art magazine Artforum slowly shifted from black and white to color.Continue Reading →
A packed house received Lucy Lippard for a wry lecture about her life as an arts writer at the New School on Wednesday, October 30. Staff from the Vera List Center for Art and Politics, which co-sponsored the event, stood leaning against the wall. Students sat on the floor.Continue Reading →
You're digital! I'm digital! We're all digital! No better way to stir the pot than to bring up the post-IRL condition that has us all confused: What does it mean that we spend so much time online? How are artists engaging technology? Everyone's arguing, from the curmudgeonly Artforum-approved art historian Claire Bishop to curator Lauren Cornell and author Eleanor Heartney. Here's what they're saying.Continue Reading →
It's not only for reading …Continue Reading →
"What's Wrong With Technological Art?" was the vexing question posed by the tony New Museum panel assembled by Megan Heuer featuring Heather Corcoran, the new executive director of Rhizome, and art historians Judith Rodenbeck, and Gloria Sutton. The event indadvertedly dove tailed with the recent September Artforum issue about the frayed divide between the art world and technological art. The bon mot award for the evening came from rehashing the 1967 quote of Philip Leider, editor of Artforum, who once penned the uber snarky statement, "I can't imagine Artforum ever doing a special issue on electronics or computers in art, but one never knows."Continue Reading →
Art historian and associate professor at New York's CUNY Graduate Center Claire Bishop has taken to the pages of Artforum's September edition to issue a kind of rebuke for contemporary art. She argues, in an extended essay that only briefly detours into egregious artspeak, that though the new realities of technology and the internet provide the fundamental context for art currently being made, art and artists have failed to critically confront this context and are too content simply to respond and adapt to it.Continue Reading →
Usually associated with long-winded art historical articles and page after page of gallery ads, Artforum made an unexpected but exciting move in their October issue by placing Asco, a politically radical Chicano artist collective from the 1970s on the cover. Perhaps igniting a real art historical interest in Asco, Artforum highlights Asco's merging of art and protest, which could directly inspire Occupy Wall Street (and now, other cities)'s own art and culture committee.Continue Reading →
According to Eric Doeringer, the artist-curator of I Like the Art World and the Art World Likes Me, the exhibition's title—a nod to Joseph Beuys's 1974 performance "I Like America and America Likes Me"—is meant to convey the "fraught relationship between emerging artists and the art-world establishment," one marked by a simultaneous desire to criticize the art world's excesses and to be recognized by it. Art about the institutions of art, both physical and discursive, is hardly a new phenomenon, but unlike Marcel Broodthaers and Hans Haacke, cited by Doeringer as predecessors for the work included in this exhibition, what emerges most clearly here is not "institutional critique" but a sense of anxiety or anger about the artists' own marginalization and lack of mainstream success.Continue Reading →

MARTINSBURG - Runners can test their athletic prowess while contributing to a good cause during Race for a Place, a 5K and 10K run Saturday at Poor House Farm Park to benefit Immanuel's House.
Immanuel's House is an ecumenical church that does outreach in the Martinsburg area, such as prison ministry at Eastern Regional Jail and weekly community dinners. The funds from the run will go to the organization's building fund.
"Their goal is ... to purchase a building on Buxton Street and use that as their outreach center," said Bart Cookus, organizer of the race.
Cookus began the annual fundraising effort three years ago after attending an information session about Immanuel's House.
"What moved me was their outreach, what they wanted to do, their vision," Cookus said. "I knew putting together a 5K/10K run would be not only a great way to promote them, but also bring some kind of activity to the area."
The event will be held at Poor House Farm Park in Martinsburg and will follow its disc golf and walking trails, Cookus said.
"(The course) gives everyone an idea of what Poor House Farm Park is and runs you around the whole park," Cookus said. "People may not realize there's a whole other set of trails."
The third annual Race for a Place will take place Saturday, July 13. Runners can register online until Friday, July 12, by visiting bit.ly/1aX13I9. Cost for participating in the 5K run/walk is $25. The 10K run costs $35.
Day-of registration starts at 7:30 a.m. Saturday at Poor House Farm Park in Martinsburg. Those registration fees will increase to $30 for the 5K run/walk and $40 for the 10K run.
For more information, email Bart Cookus at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 304-676-3263.

Are we ready for this?
Posted 12 May 2011 - 07:08 AM
Seriously though, "IF" the wings are able to actually win tonight where will the win rank among the greatest moments in Detroit Red Wings history. Will it be a big enough win to be among the all the cup wins, will it be the greatest moment in wings history not involving the stanley cup, or will it be just another game 7 victory if lord Stanley isnt back in Hockeytown in a month.
"IF" the wings lose, where will the loss rank among heartbreaking losses in wings history. Will it be there with "the game we do not name", will the wings use it as motivation to win next year and then move on, or will we treat it as "the wings were out of it after game 3 lets just be happy we got an extra 3 games to watch our wings this season"
win or lose, this week will be one we will never forget. We will tell our grandkids how the Wings were down 3-0 against the hated Sharks and time after time the wings seemed like they couldnt find a way to win and then howard stood on his head in game 5, and Filppula had the game of his career in game 6, and in game 7........

I don't think we can be too upset if we do lose tonight. At least not any more upset then normal because we did do something that only seven other teams have EVER done before. We did something that only had a .608%, yes .608 PERCENT, of happening. And losing to the Sharks in seven games isn't too crazy, they are a good team too.

I will donate a kidney if the wings pull this off and go on to win the cup.
LOL now that's a fan! I said I would get a Red Wings tattoo on my back if they win the Stanley Cup this year. But honestly, I'll probably do that regardless. lol

Every game except game 6, has been a 1 goal affair. Either team could have been up 3-0. A bounce here or there and the Wings could have been up 3-0 on the Sharks. These teams are very very close in terms of skill level. This game 7 will be the same probably. If the Wings win, it will be an epic comeback. If the Wings lose, its going to be a sad day for me because if you are going to make it this far, you have to seal the deal. At the same time though, you gotta have realistic expectations.
If the Wings play hard and lose, I am going to be as proud of the team if they played hard and won. Support your Wings in winning and losing. Thats the key.

Normally I would say this if we lost " Well we were down 3-0 we should just be happy to be here" But I will be pissed if we end up losing tonight. I am so nervous.
I am 100% with you on that one ... it's like one of those football games where your team's down 24-0 or something, then comes back and has a FG to win it. If you make it, it's the greatest thing ever. If you miss it, it's not "Oh well, good comeback." It hurts your heart.

This is a bit of a no-brainer when out in stunning Cairns, but you must, must, must, take at least a day-trip to the reef where you can engage in snorkeling, or just lay out on the white sandy beaches and catch a tan in the balmy tropical climate. Luckily, there are more than a handful of tour groups more than able to show you around and even take you scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef without even as little as a license. Once you have taken on the introductory diving course and want seconds, there are intermediate and certified diving options both day and night that will give you the chance to fully explore the great reef.
Many of these day tours from Cairns include your own snorkel and diving instructor and give you three square authentic local meals, and even affords you the option to close out your day on the beach, sipping on cocktails as the sun sets.
For a more family-friendly trip, there are also family packages available where you can take a boat cruise on a catamaran, fully loaded with food and drinks. For an added treat, these boats are partially submerged and with glass bottomed in the clear blue water, giving you an up-close marine experience.
Boats will often cruise off to the beautiful coral cay beaches, including Green Island, an island resort where you can go to the shops, visit the island zoo, check out the underwater observatory, or just relax at its bars and restaurants.
Planning a Trip? Browse Viator's Cairns tours and things to do, Cairns attractions, and Cairns travel recommendations. Or book a private tour guide in Cairns for a customized tour!


text: I don't have a whole lot of info about people that do it, but the warrior diet is not just skipping breakfast it's eating just once a day (usually dinner). Think of it like the warriors from the tribe will spend the day moving somewhere, training, fighting a battle, or doing what ever needs to be done then at the end of the day they get to eat their daily meal. So, basically it's a 24 hour IF.

Warm, Highly Adjustable, Tape Echo Emulation Inspired By Two Classic Echoplex* Units.
Universal Audio's EP-34 Tape Echo plug-in gives guitar players and mix engineers the rich, warm tape delay effects of vintage Echoplex units, now on the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform for Mac and PC. One need only listen to classic recordings from Jimmy Page, Brian May, Chick Corea, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Johnson and Andy Summers to hear the Echoplex sound in action. Unlike other Echoplex emulations, the EP-34 is the first plug-in that targets specific behaviors of both the EP-3 and EP-4 Echoplexes.
The original Echoplex hardware boxes employed an infinite tape loop combined with a sliding record head, allowing the user to set the desired delay length. Of course, as an analog tape-based unit, there were many idiosyncrasies along the way — including distortion, wow and flutter, self-oscillation, squelch effects, and other vintage magic. The EP-34 plug-in emulates all of these attributes, with a record head slider that can be moved in real time and used in conjunction with an Echo Repeats control to create echo and pitch chaos. The distinct, musical input clipping of the original hardware is also captured via a Record Volume control, giving the EP-34 some subtle to not-so-subtle tonal coloring and distortion as desired. Recreating the infinite delay times afforded by a sliding record head — as well as capturing the desirable distortion of the hardware's preamp circuit — were difficult and DSP-intensive tasks, but the experts at UA sweated every last detail, ensuring that the EP-34 plug-in is verifiably the most accurate model for those who want the distinct, chaotic Echoplex sound, "warts and all."
Just like the original hardware, faster-than-tape-path speeds can be achieved with the EP-34 plug-in, leading to "sonic-boom/tape squeal" effects, self-chorusing due to speed variations, plus pinch roller wow and flutter. The Echo Volume control allows the blending of processed and unprocessed signal; however as with the original, even the dry signal is tonally affected by the plug-in. Finally, the original Echoplex's self-oscillation capabilities are present as well, including the "squelch" effect (an interruption in self-oscillation) achieved at extreme settings when processing low-frequency material.
The EP-34 includes the same metering and highly musical tone controls found on the EP-4, but removes its undesirable in-line noise reduction circuit that guitarists often disabled (original manufacturer Maestro removed this circuit soon after the product's release). A few EP-34 "extras" not found on the original hardware include modern conveniences like Tempo Sync, Input Select (allows for a cleaner sound [LO] or a dirtier sound [HI] ), Tension (for a snappy or sludgy response time), Echo Send, Wet Solo, Pan (wet signal only) and Power (plug-in bypass).
Taken together, these features make the EP-34 more than just a tape delay plug-in, but a warm and inspiring instrument that can be played by manipulating the controls as you go.
*Note: The EP-34 Tape Echo product is not affiliated with, sponsored, nor endorsed by any companies currently using the "Echoplex" name. The Echoplex name, as well as the EP-3 and EP-4 model names, are used solely to identify the classic effects emulated by Universal Audio's product.

I can't remember a team that could turn it on and off like these Eli-Coughlin Giants can. At least not many.
I'm not talking about the schlock clubs you see whipping around from week to week, up and down and erratic and any-way-the-wind-blows. The plebian NFL.
I mean championship-grade teams, but ones that for some reason don't mind la-di-da-ing around the neighborhood for a while before they decide to get down to hard business.
I suppose the old Steelers of 1979 were like that. But that group had an honorable excuse for using the snooze button on occasion. They were old. It was self-preservation. They just couldn't rev it all the way up anymore without pieces breaking or rattling apart. So they picked their spots.
In '79 I saw them turn it over nine times and get whipped by a nothing Cincinnati team. And I watched them go catatonic out in San Diego, sloppy and disinterested and eight more turnovers. 35-7 losers. Good grief, what's wrong with the Steelers?
Then, click! Lock in the seatbelt. Time to play, boys. And the Steelers got very serious and launched into their annual playoff surge then bombed the Rams out of the Super Bowl.
"We didn't always have it," Terry Bradshaw said about that year, the last Super run for the Steel Curtain, "but we knew where it was when we needed it."
The Barry Switzer Cowboys were like that, too, but in a dysfunctional manner. Switzer replacing the steel-fisted Jimmy Johnson, throwing open the schoolyard gates and playing it loose and spending chunks of time in the teacher's lounge.
The Cowboys turned sloppy after Jimmy left. But there was still enough urgency and sheer will on the roster (Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin, etc.), enough guys who wanted to win more than screw around, and Switzer's team reached the conference championship game in '94 and won it all in '95.
This is how the Tom Coughlin Giants seem to handle their business, ever since they jettisoned ego types like Jeremy Shockey and Tiki Barber and it became Eli Manning's team. They can float with the competition and look flat and disinterested at times. But when they're in the mood they can press the button and fire up the jets and, brother, look out.
In 2007 they got murdered by Green Bay and Minnesota and played .500 ball over the last half of the year and ended up as a wild card. Click! Stomp Tampa Bay, beat the Cowboys, beat the Packers, beat the unbeaten Patriots, win the Super Bowl.
Last season looked a lot like '07, except the Giants were a flat 7-7 around Christmastime before they got it in gear. Click! Beat the Jets and Dallas, then a playoff romp through Atlanta, Green Bay, the 49ers and Patriots. Ho-hum, another ring for Eli and Tom.
This September, they messed around and let slouchy Tampa Bay put 34 on the scoreboard before closing them out late.
But they were ready to go last Sunday in San Francisco, the rematch of last year's mud-and-bloodbath NFC title clash. This time they made everything look easy and they knocked the Niners out of the building, 26-3. Afterward, the Giants' quotes reinforced the idea that, Yeah, we can really turn it on around here when we want to.
"We were just waiting for them to play like we know they can play," Manning said about his defense. "Stopping the run, getting after the quarterback, getting some turnovers. … When you see them play like that … then we can be more patient offensively. We didn't have to force things. We didn't have to try to make plays. We could just buy our time, dink and dunk."
The Giants' plan was to get after 49ers QB Alex Smith with their base rush, giving him all the little crosses and shorties he could eat and waiting for him to kill his own drive with screw-ups. It worked.
One early drive ended when Smith couldn't get enough heat on a slant pass to an open Michael Crabtree. Three others died on interceptions, which New York swiftly turned into 13 points. By the middle of the third quarter it was 23-3 and you like your chances against Alex Smith with that kind of scoreboard.
"I could tell at times we had him a little rattled," said Giants FS Antrel Rolle, who snagged two of the New York interceptions.
A lot of commentators raved about the six Giants sacks on the day, but the majority of those were just extra cheese on the pizza. Their second sack didn't come until midway through the third quarter, with the Niners gasping and behind 20-3. Three of them came in the fourth quarter, when the Niners had no choice but to chuck it on every down.
DE Osi Umenyiora gave a strange postgame wrap-up when he said the key to victory was mashing up the 49ers' ground game … that "Anytime you stop the run that is going to put us in position to stop the passer."
But the Niners' running backs gained more than five yards per carry on the day. Trouble is, they barely ran it. Only 12 attempts combined between Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter. The flim-flammery they pulled with backup QB Colin Kaepernick (two rushes, six yards) doesn't count. The 49ers stopped their own ground game Sunday. They simply shelved it.
No, New York's plot was to see if Alex Smith could beat them with the pass and he couldn't do it. That dreaded "game manager" tattoo can't be lasered off his arm. Same was true in last year's NFC championship game between these clubs. Call it a double dose of bad timing.
He caught the Giants when their switch was on.

Twenty-five species of monkeys, langurs, lemurs and gorillas are on the brink of extinction and need global action to protect them from increasing deforestation and illegal trafficking, researchers said today (15th). Among the 25 Primates is Western purple-faced langur (Semnopithecus vetulus nestor) of Sri Lanka. These 25 primate species are considered to be among the most endangered worldwide and the most in need of conservation measures.
The report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature was released at the United Nations' Convention on Biological Diversity being held in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad.
Primates, mankind's closest living relatives, contribute to the ecosystem by dispersing seeds and maintaining forest diversity.
More than half of the world's 633 types of primates are in danger of becoming extinct because of human activity such as the burning and clearing of tropical forests, the hunting of primates for food and the illegal wildlife trade.
Research carried out by Rasanayagam Rudran, Kanchana Weerakoon and Ananda Wanasinghe indicate that "one of the most serious problems facing Sri Lanka's western purple-faced langur (T. v. nestor) stems from the fact that it inhabits some of the most densely populated regions of the country. The Purple-faced Langur is a monkey that lives only in the forests of Sri Lanka. As a result, this endemic monkey's long-term survival is severely threatened by unplanned and haphazard urbanization. It is believed that the species has undergone a decline of more than 80% over three generations.

I like the fact that in this day and age she thinks of making something she likes. Buying it doesn't occur to her yet. As if everyone made their own clothes and jewellery.
Imagine ;)
that would be amazing, a bit like going back in time but with all the choices of today. the tie-dye shirt look great. with a mum like you no wonder she's like that!
Something my daughter said or asked to me in the past, also made me think that she thought everything was made by us... anyway... Beautiful necklace, I now want to buy some beads like those and make my daughters and myself one like that ;)
oohh que mona!! :) Me acuerdo mucho de hacer este tipo de camisetas en mis campamentos! La quería llevar todo el año! Seguro que admira a la madre y ella también quiere hacer DIY!
Bon estiu!!
love the tshirt!
Your daughter is talented too, nice shirt and necklace. My kids (6 and 3) look at toy catalogs and ask me to make them toys or they ask me to make costumes or sometimes specific clothes (pink and sparkly for the little one :-( but I didn't totally give in yet). They rarely ask me to buy things...I hope it will last.
my kids are the same way. they see something and if they like it, their first thought is they can't make it, then mommy and daddy can! i hope this phase lasts a very very long time! teri@giddy...
Oh yes! your daughter rocks! And she is definately your daughter :)
And how much more would things be appreciated if they really would be made self, by hand by someone... I love the idea of less stuff. Just things that matter.
Thank you so much for your comments. I am not alone. I am sure that at some point all she'll want is buy the things here friends have. Which is why I am enjoying the 'let's make it' even more now. I'll try to prolong this phase as much as possible.
Imagine if she thought like that for many years to come, it would be great!
I am sure you can prolong it for a long time especially as you make all these amazingly beautiful clothes for your kids.
very sweet shirt, and i love the fact its not all multi coloured!

THE notion that schoolchildren, who are using the internet for homework or playing Nintendo games, could threaten British security seems far-fetched.
Yet if you reduce author Victoria Brittain's book, Shadow Lives: The Forgotten Women of the War on Terror, to its essentials, that is indeed what she says may be happening in some UK Arab households.
In those homes the male head is living under what South Africans during apartheid called house arrest. The British call it Control Order families.
Brittain, an antiwar activist, journalist, author and playwright who has lived and worked in Washington, Nairobi, Saigon, Algiers, London and extensively in our former frontline states, is in SA to launch her book.
Within 24 hours of her arrival, and this interview, she had already addressed three university gatherings, such is the interest in her slim (182 pages) and elegantly packaged work.
She documents the loneliness, isolation and frustration of mothers, daughters and sisters of men held in detention at Guantanamo Bay and London's Belmarsh jail.
They live among, and yet apart, from the British and to a lesser extent the American populace (Brittain concentrates more on the situation in the UK). For such families their existence is focused on not being smeared by any association with the so-called war on terror.
They shield themselves and their children from it, living very much in a shadow world.
Nobody can visit them unless they've had security clearance from the British Home Office. Brittain tells the story of French-Senegalese Josephine, the wife of an anonymous Algerian detainee who was unable to take delivery of a new washing machine.
She told the astounded deliverymen to "just leave it outside".
"She couldn't explain that their entry (into her home) would break her husband's bail conditions and that he'd end up back in jail," says Brittain.
Finally Josephine heaved it in through the door herself and then had to ask her lawyer to get Home Office clearance to hire a plumber to install it. A government official then arrived at the same time that the plumber did, while her wheelchair-bound husband had to sit in a different room.
"None of the men whose families I interviewed, in the UK and America, have been charged with crimes," says Brittain. Some have been taken to places in Europe, the Middle East and Far East (the Americans call it extraordinary rendition) and tortured.
At one stage 700 men were being held at Guantanamo Bay in the US-occupied part of Cuba where they are not subject to American law, "so it is a complete legal black hole".
Today, says Brittain, "there are 176 men almost dead in their cages from going on hunger strikes, and all of us, including the American president, know that they are innocent".
It is an enormous subject, taken on by this tiny, light-boned journalist with her soft voice and will-o'-the-wisp air of fragility.
Though she has covered several wars, Brittain was drawn into the lives of her shadow families by chance. She had been commissioned in 2004 by the British Tricycle Theatre to do interviews for a play, Honor Bound to Defend Freedom, about Guantanamo Bay prisoners.
She co-wrote it with author Gillian Slovo.
The father of Moazzam Begg, the last British man to come back from Guantanamo Bay, was a character in the play, who later asked Brittain to co-author Enemy Combatant — the first memoir written about the notorious American detention centre.
During her interviews with lawyers, Brittain discovered little was known about the lives of these Muslim families and she grew increasingly disturbed by the treatment meted out to them.
This was piqued after she heard former South African lawyer, Lord Steyn, giving a prestigious public law lecture in which he described Guantanamo Bay, "as a legal black hole".
"When I listened to him talk about international law being flouted at Guantanamo, and heard about equally distinguished American lawyers trying, unsuccessfully, to take habeas corpus cases for the detainees, I determined to make friends with these Muslim families."
Brittain's articles have appeared in leading American, British and European newspapers and magazines.
When Barack Obama became US president in 2009 she believed it would not be long before the Guantanamo Bay detainees were released, and said so on TV.
"They laughed at me."
Another aspect of the war on terror that concerned Brittain, "was the Americans flying over parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, dropping leaflets telling people they would be paid $5,000 for every Arab turned in".
But her focus is not on the war. It is on the unknown casualties of it — children being bullied at school, their electronic toys confiscated by the police on continual visits to their homes, their mothers suffering from depression, even mental breakdown.
The teenage child of Palestinians Dina and Mahmoud wrote: "Listen to my story, then decide if you will be able to live my life."
Brittain writes about Zannira, wife of Shaker Aamer, a Saudi "captured by bounty hunters". He is the last British resident detained at Guantanamo. He has never been charged yet has been jailed for 12 years.
Left to bring up their three children alone, Zannira has contemplated suicide, been admitted to hospital and sometimes dreams her husband is dead.
Shadow Lives was published nearly a year ago and Brittain, who has done book tours both in the UK and US, is regularly asked to give talks to literary groups, at book festivals, to psychiatrists and social workers.
"I am attacked on the internet and some audiences ask hostile questions. I don't think my book will change anything but it does allow knowledge to circulate."

Acting in the Nightby Alexander Nemerov
What can the performance of a single play on one specific night tell us about the world this event inhabited so briefly? Alexander Nemerov takes a performance of Macbeth in Washington, DC on October 17, 1863--with Abraham Lincoln in attendance--to explore this question and illuminate American art, politics, technology, and life as it was being lived. Nemerov's inspiration is Wallace Stevens and his poem "Anecdote of the Jar," in which a single object organizes the wilderness around it in the consciousness of the poet. For Nemerov, that evening's performance of Macbeth reached across the tragedy of civil war to acknowledge the horrors and emptiness of a world it tried and ultimately failed to change.
Fictions of Art Historyby Joanna Scott Alexander Nemerov Marianna Torgovnick Cole Swensen Marina Warner Caroline Vout Michael Hatt Paul Barolsky Gloria Kury Maria H. Loh Ralph Lieberman Mark Ledbury Thomas Crow
Fictions of Art History, the most recent addition to the Clark Studies in the Visual Arts series, addresses art history's complex relationships with fiction, poetry, and creative writing. Inspired by a 2010 conference, the volume examines art historians' viewing practices and modes of writing. How, the contributors ask, are we to unravel the supposed facts of history from the fictions constructed in works of art? How do art historians employ or resist devices of fiction, and what are the effects of those choices on the reader? In styles by turns witty, elliptical, and plain-speaking, the essays in Fictions of Art History are fascinating and provocative critical interventions in art history.
Wartime Kiss: Visions of the Moment in the 1940sby Alexander Nemerov
Wartime Kiss is a personal meditation on the haunting power of American photographs and films from World War II and the later 1940s. Starting with a stunning reinterpretation of one of the most famous photos of all time, Alfred Eisenstaedt's image of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square on V-J Day, Alexander Nemerov goes on to examine an array of mostly forgotten images and movie episodes--from a photo of Jimmy Stewart and Olivia de Havilland lying on a picnic blanket in the Santa Barbara hills to scenes from such films as Twelve O'Clock High and Hold Back the Dawn. Erotically charged and bearing traces of trauma even when they seem far removed from the war, these photos and scenes seem to hold out the promise of a palpable and emotional connection to those years. Through a series of fascinating stories, Nemerov reveals the surprising background of these bits of film and discovers unexpected connections between the war and Hollywood, from an obsession with aviation to Anne Frank's love of the movies. Beautifully written and illustrated, Wartime Kiss vividly evokes a world in which Margaret Bourke-White could follow a heroic assignment photographing a B-17 bombing mission over Tunis with a job in Hollywood documenting the filming of a war movie. Ultimately this is a book about history as a sensuous experience, a work as mysterious, indescribable, and affecting as a novel by W. G. Sebald.

Gilberto Freyre, after learning about "area studies" as a visiting professor at the University of Indiana, proposed a model for "estudos de área" in the Brazilian university. At mid-century, he called for "uma possível luso-tropicologia" based in the colonized and decolonized parts of Portugal's empire. In the decades that have since passed, several initiatives have been undertaken to establish African, Arab, Asian and Lusophone studies in Brazil. This panel invites papers that interrogate both past and present initiatives to establish area studies programs in Brazil. How have "world areas" been modeled, studied, and institutionalized (or not)? How have these configurations in Brazil intersected with and also diverged from U.S. and/or European models? In exploring the progammatic study of "world areas" in Brazil during the twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries, this panel seeks to ask how other configurations of area studies outside of the U.S. American context were possible through distinct imperial histories.
Co-organizors of the panel: John Tofik Karam and Jeffrey Lesser
The co-organizors kindly ask those interested to send a brief abstract of their work (in less than 300 words) to email@example.com before 12 October, 2011.

Folks, listen up! I'm tired of the Democrats and the Republicans both whining about not knowing who Mitt Romney is.
He is a successful business man, a good father, a faithful husband, a devoted grampa and he loves God and country. He has no history of a "stained blue dress" (Bill Clinton), no reporting of an extra marital affair while his wife undergoes cancer treatment (John Edwards), no picture of his "privates" on Facebook (Anthony Weiner) and no evidence of operating an "escort service" from the basement of his domicile (Barney Frank). In other words, there are no scandals involving this good man and his family! Case closed!

For eighth months, we worked with BP, a host of accountants and other experts to develop a settlement agreement that would fairly and transparently compensate families and businesses that might have been directly or indirectly harmed by the spill. As part of that, BP agreed to objective formulas to determine eligibility as well as compensation.
BP's attorney wrote that the process was typified by "transparent, objective, data-driven methodologies." These formulas, rather than subjective determinations, would mathematically dictate which losses were and were not directly or indirectly caused by the spill.
As late as November 2012, BP submitted court filings in which the company confirmed that: "Once the causation tests are satisfied, all revenue and variable profit declines during the Compensation Period are presumed to be caused entirely by the spill, with no analysis of whether such declines were also traceable to other factors unrelated to the spill."
Nevertheless, BP has recently embarked upon a massive public relations campaign against the Deepwater Horizon claims administrator, the court and the businesses and families of the Gulf Coast region who have done nothing more than submit claims that BP had agreed it would pay.
We believe it is important to point out that BP selected and proposed Patrick Juneau to serve as the claims administrator for the Deepwater Horizon Court Supervised Settlement Program. Mr. Juneau is a former president of the Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel. He is universally respected and has been appointed by courts all across the country to serve as special master or mediator in high-profile litigation, including the Guidant MDL in Minnesota and the massive California Toyota acceleration litigation.
As claims administrator, Juneau is responsible for establishing broad policies, employing accountants and overseeing the mechanics of the operation; he does not make the decisions on, or changes to, individual awards or claims.
Judge Carl Barbier was selected by a panel of respected trial and appellate court judges from across the country to preside over the BP oil spill litigation, one of the largest, if not the largest, consolidated cases in history. He has been universally praised by BP and others for his ingenuity, commitment and dedication to the efficient and effective management of this complex litigation. Judge Barbier has served on the federal bench for well over a decade, and his integrity and judicial excellence have never been called into question.
BP selected and proposed PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as a program vendor for the Court Supervised Settlement Program. PwC, one of the largest accounting firms in the world, had been previously hired by BP to assist Kenneth Feinberg with the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, and was therefore not only trusted by BP but also familiar with oil spill related claims. PwC, the accounting giant that BP selected, implemented the settlement agreement exactly the way that it was interpreted by Mr. Juneau and Judge Barbier.
BP also selected and proposed Postlethwaite & Netterville (P&N), an independent accounting firm that had not done any work for either plaintiffs or BP or the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, to serve as a program vendor. P&N, the independent accounting firm that BP selected, also had implemented the settlement agreement exactly the same way that it was interpreted by Mr. Juneau and Judge Barbier.
Indeed, of the hundreds of policy questions raised over the course of Mr. Juneau's tenure as claims administrator, BP has formally agreed with or deferred to every interpretation except two.
On Dec. 12, 2012, the parties appeared before the court, and BP's counsel again confirmed to the claims administrator, to the PricewaterhouseCoopers and Postlethwaite & Netterville accountants who were present, to class counsel, and to the court, that BP agreed with the settlement program's objective analysis of causation.
On behalf of the businesses and families of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast, we appreciate the dedication and commitment of the claims administrator, the court, the court's staff and everyone who has contributed to this substantial litigation effort and the historic settlement program.
James Parkerson Roy and Stephen J. Herman, co-lead counsel for Deepwater Horizon, MDL 2179.

AUSTIN - Representatives of the business community Tuesday urged a legislative panel to avoid enacting strict laws to protect privacy, saying over-regulation could hamper commerce on the Internet.
Rick Lane, e-commerce director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told a House state affairs subcommittee that self-regulation of Internet businesses works because customers can avoid Web sites when they are not satisfied. Businesses have a "huge" interest in protecting privacy, Lane said.
"This is not a business vs. consumer debate," Lane said.
But Rod Schneider, general counsel for Consumers Union Southwest, said people should have a right to block businesses from releasing their private information.
"We believe there do need to be protections for privacy, especially in very sensitive areas like health and financial information," he said.
But Schneider said the legislation, while trying to protect privacy, shouldn't cut off the legitimate ability of citizens to maintain oversight of their government.
House Speaker Pete Laney, D-Hale Center, directed the state affairs panel to review the current state of privacy laws as they relate to the ability of business or government to disseminate personal information without written permission.
Assistant Attorney General Rebecca Payne said Texas has no all-encompassing privacy law and existing protections are piecemeal.
With the rapid growth of the Internet, consumers have become increasingly concerned that their privacy is at risk. Data that a business gathers on its customers might be sold to other businesses.
A Forrester Research survey of online users found that 67 percent were "extremely" or "very" concerned about releasing personal information over the Web.
The survey also showed that consumers' fears about privacy might have cost Internet businesses $2.8 billion in lost sales last year.
But Rep. Delwin Jones, a Lubbock Republican on the subcommittee, questioned how effective state laws would be in assuring privacy protections on the Worldwide Web.
"We can pass all the laws we want but they wouldn't work in France," Jones said. "They probably wouldn't work in Oklahoma."
He said some type of Internet pact in which the states agreed to honor each other's laws might be a solution.
Lane said increasing regulatory barriers would reduce small businesses' ability to do business on the Internet and that a better idea is to educate businesses and consumers about privacy rights.
One way consumers can protect themselves, Lane said, is to read the privacy statements that businesses post on their Web sites. If a site doesn't have a privacy statement, consumers should avoid it, he said.
Consumers also can watch for the TRUSTe seal, which is like the Good Housekeeping seal of approval for Internet businesses.
Dave Steer, spokesman for the seal organization, said it investigates complaints about member businesses that don't adhere to high standards of privacy protection. The business under scrutiny pays all the costs for an investigation, Steer said.

You don't have to be in Brazil to experience the excitement of the World Cup.
Fans converged on SteelStacks in Bethlehem Monday to watch the USA's first game of the 2014 World Cup as the team took on Ghana.
Thousands gathered watch the game on big screens as part of SteelStacks' official FIFA World Cup SoccerFest and Viewing Party.
ESPN cameras were also there to capture live crowd reactions to show during its coverage of the game.
"We started talking to ESPN about nine months ago, letting them know what we are doing here and explaining that we are going to be broadcasting almost all of the games," explained Curt Mosel, Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations for ArtsQuest.
Bethlehem was one of only a handful of spots ESPN chose to show.
"Hopefully there are some great points of action in the game where fans will really get to scream and holler and show their enthusiasm," he said.
Fans wore their red, white, and blue as they took in the excitement.
"The whole country is proud to see them play and hopefully they'll get us a good result," said one USA fan.
"Been waiting years for this moment," said another.
USA beat Ghana by a score of 2-1 in the team's first showing at the 2014 World Cup. Up next, the U.S. will take on Portugal and Germany.
"Thirty-two teams qualify to play in the tournament and they play in brackets of four teams and they'll play pool play so they'll each play every other team in their bracket and the top two teams from each bracket will advance," explained Mosel.
Fan Rich McGinnis said, "World Cup is just awesome. You only get it once every four years. Better than the Olympics."
