Natural and man-made obstacles can create areas of inadequate coverage in a wireless telecommunications network. For example, a user device may experience a dropped call or an inability to initiate a call when the user device is inside a building or is otherwise blocked from successfully sending or receiving radio frequency (RF) signals. As used herein, the term "user device" refers to devices that might be used by users in a telecommunications network. This typically includes mobile terminals such as mobile telephones, personal digital assistants, handheld computers, and similar devices, but can also include fixed terminals such as residential gateways.
In one embodiment, a method for allocating a pseudorandom noise identifier (PN) to a home base station (HBS) is provided. The method includes determining the location of the HBS, determining the PNs in use adjacent to the HBS, and using the location of the HBS and the PNs in use to select a PN for the HBS.
In another embodiment, a system for selection of a PN for home base stations is provided. The system includes an HBS and a telecommunications network. The HBS includes a global positioning system (GPS) accessible to the HBS and operable to determine the location of the HBS. The telecommunications network is operable to communicate with the HBS and maintains a list of PNs designated for use in a region. The HBS informs the telecommunications network of its location as determined by the GPS. The telecommunications network sends the HBS the list of PNs designated for use in the region near the location. A PN that is not already in use in the region is selected from the list.
In another embodiment, an HBS is provided. The HBS includes a GPS that can determine the location of the HBS. The HBS can communicate with a telecommunications network. The telecommunications network maintains a list of PNs designated for use in a region. The HBS determines the PNs already in use in the region. A PN is selected based on the HBS locations, the list of PNs for the region, and the PNs in use.
These and other features will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and claims.
For a more complete understanding of the present disclosure, reference is now made to the following brief description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and detailed description, wherein like reference numerals represent like parts.
It should be understood at the outset that although illustrative implementations of one or more embodiments are illustrated below, the disclosed systems and/or methods may be implemented using any number of techniques, whether currently known or in existence. The disclosure should in no way be limited to the illustrative implementations, drawings, and techniques illustrated below, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims along with their full scope of equivalents.
Various types of private base station have been proposed to deal with areas of inadequate coverage in a telecommunications network. These units can perform functions similar to those performed by a publicly accessible base station but at a reduced power. The term "home base station" (HBS) will be used herein to refer to such base stations, but it should be understood that the units could be used in business offices, government buildings, schools, and other locations besides homes.
While a traditional wireless telecommunications base station might provide coverage over a wide geographic region for a large number of users, an HBS might provide coverage only in an area the size of a typical home and for only a limited number of users. When an HBS is placed inside a home, for example, a user device in the home can send RF signals to and receive RF signals from the HBS rather than making potentially unsuccessful attempts at sending RF signals to and receiving RF signals from a traditional, publicly accessible base station. The HBS can then communicate with subsequent components in a telecommunications network. Connecting to the telecommunications network via the HBS can shrink or eliminate areas of inadequate coverage that might exist in the home when connections are attempted via a traditional base station.
An HBS is typically intended for use by only a small number of user devices. An identifier for each user device authorized to use a particular HBS might be associated with an identifier for that HBS. Only the user devices that have been registered with the HBS in this manner might be able to gain access to the HBS. For example, an HBS in a home might be configured to be used only by user devices belonging to family members who live in that home. A different user device that entered or came near the home might not be able to gain access to the HBS. Similarly, the family members from that home might not be able to use an HBS in a different home.
As is well known in the art, a code division multiple access (CDMA) base station might broadcast a beacon signal that provides information about the base station. User devices can use the beacon signal to determine which base station to connect to and to determine whether a call should be handed off from one base station to another. For a traditional, publicly accessible base station, the beacon signal typically operates at approximately the same power as the signal that carries the actual voice and data traffic. For an HBS, the beacon signal typically operates at a greatly reduced power so that the beacon signal can be detected only by user devices that are physically close to the HBS, such as user devices that are in the same home as the HBS.
A traditional, publicly accessible base station might transmit voice and data traffic to subsequent components in the telecommunications network via RF signals. For some HBSs, voice and data traffic might be transmitted to the subsequent components via the Internet. That is, an HBS might contain appropriate hardware and software that allows the HBS to connect to the Internet via standard wired or wireless connections. Data transmitted from a user device to the HBS via an RF signal might be transmitted from the HBS to the subsequent components in the telecommunications network via the Internet connection. In this way, an owner of an HBS might be able to conduct wireless communications in a location where a traditional base station is inaccessible or where access to a traditional base station is unreliable.
A pseudorandom noise (PN) sequence is typically used to provide a unique identifier for a cell site. That is, a PN can be viewed as a code by which a base station can be identified. A base station typically includes its PN in the beacon signal that it broadcasts and user devices that receive the beacon signal can use the PN to identify the base station. For traditional, publicly accessible base stations, PNs are typically assigned manually by a telecommunications operator or other entity that has control over the base stations. The manual PN assignment process can ensure that each base station in a geographic region has a unique PN and that the identity of a base station is unambiguously provided to user devices that receive the base station's beacon signal.
Unlike traditional, publicly accessible base stations, HBSs are likely to be owned and controlled by consumers. It is typically undesirable to require a consumer to perform manual tasks, such as the manual assignment of a PN to an HBS. Therefore, automatic selection of a PN by an HBS may be desirable. It may also be desirable that the automatic selection be done intelligently to prevent ambiguity in the PN assignments for a set of HBSs in the same geographic region. In a given region, the number of PNs that are dedicated for use by HBSs might be relatively low. If care is not taken in the assignment of these PNs, the same PN could be assigned to two or more HBSs that are near each other. If two nearby HBSs have the same PN, a user device may not be able to determine which one it should communicate with and may not be able to lock on to either one. An automated PN selection procedure that decreases the likelihood that two nearby HBSs will have the same PN can prevent ambiguity in the attempted communications between user devices and HBSs.
In an embodiment, a set of PNs might be dedicated to HBSs in a geographic region. A list of the PNs assigned to the region can be maintained by the telecommunications network operator that provides the telecommunications services accessible through the HBSs. When an HBS is powered up, the HBS can use a global positioning system (GPS) or a similar positioning device to discover its location. The HBS can then inform the telecommunications network of its location. The network can then inform the HBS of the PNs that have been dedicated to HBSs in the region near that location. The HBS can then scan its neighbor HBSs to determine which of those PNs are already in use by the other HBSs. The HBS can then inform the network of the results of its scan. That is, the HBS can subtract the PNs already in use from the list of PNs assigned to the region and can send the network a list of assigned PNs that are not already in use. The network can then select one of the PNs not in use and can direct the HBS to use the selected PN. Not only can the assignment of PNs in this manner prevent two nearby HBSs from having the same PN, this automated PN selection process can increase the efficiency of the reuse of PNs.
In an embodiment, the HBS 20 includes or is capable of accessing a GPS 50 or a similar positioning device. When the HBS 20 is powered on, the GPS 50 can determine where the HBS 20 is located. The HBS 20 can then send this location information to the network 40. Actions that are described herein as happening to the network 40 or as being taken by the network 40 should be understood as possibly happening to or being taken by one or more components within the network 40, such as servers or other computing devices.
The network 40 maintains a list 60 of the PNs that have been dedicated for use by HBSs in a region 70 that includes the HBS 20. Upon receiving the location information from the HBS 20, the network 40 sends the contents of this list 60 to the HBS 20. The HBS 20 is capable of scanning the region 70 to determine the PNs that are already in use by one or more other HBSs 80 in the region 70.
Upon receiving the list 60 from the network 40, the HBS 20 performs such a scan to determine which of the PNs on the list 60 are already in use. By consulting the list 60, the HBS 20 can narrow the search it performs for the PNs that are in use. The HBS 20 then sends the results of the scan to the network 40. Based on the results of the scan, the network 40, or perhaps the HBS 20 in some embodiments, selects a PN for the HBS 20 that was not found to be in use by any other HBSs 80 in the region 70. The network 40 then directs the HBS 20 to use the selected PN. In this way, the likelihood that the HBSs 20 and 80 in the region 70 will use different PNs is increased and the user device 10 can more reliably communicate with the HBS 20 with which it is associated.
In an embodiment, prior to the network 40 selecting the PN, the network 40 might perform a cross check to determine if there are any other HBSs 80 in the region 70 that the HBS 20 might have missed in its scan. The results of this cross check might then be used to eliminate additional PNs from consideration as the PN to be used for the HBS 20. For example, as each other HBS 80 registers with the network 40, the network 40 might update a record of the other HBSs 80 in the region 70. The network 40 might compare this record of the other HBSs 80 with the other HBSs 80 found by the HBS 20 in its scan.
As mentioned previously, the number of PNs available for use in the region 70 might be relatively low. In some cases, the number of HBSs 20 and 80 in the region 70 might exceed the number of available PNs for the region 70. In such cases, one or more of the PNs might be placed on a different frequency and an automated, intelligent PN allocation procedure similar to that described above might be carried out to assign the PNs on the different frequency. The functionality to determine when a different frequency is needed and to designate the different frequency might reside in the HBS 20 or in the telecommunications network 40.

As is known to those skilled in the art, MIMO operations may provide spatial diversity which can be used to overcome difficult channel conditions and/or increase channel throughput. The antenna and front end unit 506 may include antenna tuning and/or impedance matching components, RF power amplifiers, and/or low noise amplifiers.
The RF transceiver 508 provides frequency shifting, converting received RF signals to baseband and converting baseband transmit signals to RF. In some descriptions a radio transceiver or RF transceiver may be understood to include other signal processing functionality such as modulation/demodulation, coding/decoding, interleaving/deinterleaving, spreading/despreading, inverse fast Fourier transforming (IFFT)/fast Fourier transforming (FFT), cyclic prefix appending/removal, and other signal processing functions. For the purposes of clarity, the description here separates the description of this signal processing from the RF and/or radio stage and conceptually allocates that signal processing to the analog baseband processing unit 510 and/or the DSP 502 or other central processing unit. In some embodiments, the RF Transceiver 508, portions of the Antenna and Front End 506, and the analog baseband processing unit 510 may be combined in one or more processing units and/or application specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
The analog baseband processing unit 510 may provide various analog processing of inputs and outputs, for example analog processing of inputs from the microphone 512 and the headset 516 and outputs to the earpiece 514 and the headset 516. To that end, the analog baseband processing unit 510 may have ports for connecting to the built-in microphone 512 and the earpiece speaker 514 that enable the user device 10 to be used as a cell phone. The analog baseband processing unit 510 may further include a port for connecting to a headset or other hands-free microphone and speaker configuration. The analog baseband processing unit 510 may provide digital-to-analog conversion in one signal direction and analog-to-digital conversion in the opposing signal direction. In some embodiments, at least some of the functionality of the analog baseband processing unit 510 may be provided by digital processing components, for example by the DSP 502 or by other central processing units.
The DSP 502 may perform modulation/demodulation, coding/decoding, interleaving/deinterleaving, spreading/despreading, inverse fast Fourier transforming (IFFT)/fast Fourier transforming (FFT), cyclic prefix appending/removal, and other signal processing functions associated with wireless communications. In an embodiment, for example in a code division multiple access (CDMA) technology application, for a transmitter function the DSP 502 may perform modulation, coding, interleaving, and spreading, and for a receiver function the DSP 502 may perform despreading, deinterleaving, decoding, and demodulation. In another embodiment, for example in an orthogonal frequency division multiplex access (OFDMA) technology application, for the transmitter function the DSP 502 may perform modulation, coding, interleaving, inverse fast Fourier transforming, and cyclic prefix appending, and for a receiver function the DSP 502 may perform cyclic prefix removal, fast Fourier transforming, deinterleaving, decoding, and demodulation. In other wireless technology applications, yet other signal processing functions and combinations of signal processing functions may be performed by the DSP 502.
The DSP 502 may communicate with a wireless network via the analog baseband processing unit 510. In some embodiments, the communication may provide Internet connectivity, enabling a user to gain access to content on the Internet and to send and receive e-mail or text messages. The input/output interface 518 interconnects the DSP 502 and various memories and interfaces. The memory 504 and the removable memory card 520 may provide software and data to configure the operation of the DSP 502. Among the interfaces may be the USB interface 522 and the infrared port 524. The USB interface 522 may enable the user device 10 to function as a peripheral device to exchange information with a personal computer or other computer system. The infrared port 524 and other optional ports such as a Bluetooth interface or an IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless interface may enable the user device 10 to communicate wirelessly with other nearby handsets and/or wireless base stations.
The input/output interface 518 may further connect the DSP 502 to the vibrator 526 that, when triggered, causes the user device 10 to vibrate. The vibrator 526 may serve as a mechanism for silently alerting the user to any of various events such as an incoming call, a new text message, and an appointment reminder.
The keypad 528 couples to the DSP 502 via the interface 518 to provide one mechanism for the user to make selections, enter information, and otherwise provide input to the user device 10. Another input mechanism may be the touch screen LCD 530, which may also display text and/or graphics to the user. The touch screen LCD controller 532 couples the DSP 502 to the touch screen LCD 530.
The CCD camera 534 enables the user device 10 to take digital pictures. The DSP 502 communicates with the CCD camera 534 via the camera controller 536. In another embodiment, a camera operating according to a technology other than Charge Coupled Device cameras may be employed. The GPS sensor 538 is coupled to the DSP 502 to decode global positioning system signals, thereby enabling the user device 10 to determine its position. Various other peripherals may also be included to provide additional functions, e.g., radio and television reception.
The HBS 20 may include any general-purpose or special-purpose computer with sufficient processing power, memory resources, and network throughput capability to handle the necessary workload placed upon it.
The secondary storage 750 is typically comprised of one or more disk drives or tape drives and is used for non-volatile storage of data and as an over-flow data storage device if RAM 730 is not large enough to hold all working data. Secondary storage 750 may be used to store programs which are loaded into RAM 730 when such programs are selected for execution. The ROM 740 is used to store instructions and perhaps data which are read during program execution. ROM 740 is a non-volatile memory device which typically has a small memory capacity relative to the larger memory capacity of secondary storage. The RAM 730 is used to store volatile data and perhaps to store instructions. Access to both ROM 740 and RAM 730 is typically faster than to secondary storage 750.
I/O devices 710 may include printers, video monitors, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), touch screen displays, keyboards, keypads, switches, dials, mice, track balls, voice recognizers, card readers, paper tape readers, or other well-known input devices.

Question: Long term use of any antidepressant. please read
|angelbabe - Tue Jun 22, 2004 1:10 am
Is it healthy to use antidepressants for long periods of time? I have been on them since I was 12, and I am now 19. I don't even feel as if they consistantly help me, or at all. I have tried talking to my doctor but she wants me to take them. It's hard to get off of them. I don't even know what I'd be like without them. I can undestand taking the one for OCD(luvox), but I don't even think I was actually depressed when I was 12, I was just going through a diffifcult time. Anyways, I was wondering what happens if you take these for long periods of time. The harmful effects. I worry that my health will be harmed. I have been on wellbutrin for awhile, and I used to take zoloft long term as well. I have tried celexa, effexor, and a few others.
|DeLWolcott - Tue Oct 04, 2005 10:45 am
1+ year post. No, not healthy in regard to liver function and other serotonin affected systems. Other therapy should be utilized before, during and after pharmaceutical treatment to learn alternative behaviors.
|fluffysmygem - Sun Oct 23, 2005 4:46 pm
Yeah, but what about those of us with GAD/panic disorder? Is chronic anxiety healthy either? Every doctor says stress is a killer. It's either the stress of anxiety, the physical stress of taking a SSRI long-term, or the physical stress of the occasional (or frequent) use of a benzodiazepine. So I say, take your pick.
I might be able to function without medication, but I'd have to live hell to do it.
|asteroids12 - Mon Oct 24, 2005 9:37 pm
pop this pop that!!!,i don't even believe in takin the contraceptive pill it can cause liver damage .skin discoloration etc.
try natural sources such as st.johns tea.if u have any questions let me know
|fluffysmygem - Sat Oct 29, 2005 1:27 pm
Asteroids - Everything can cause health problems in various segments of the population. Does the birth control pill cause liver damage in most women? No. I'd like to see whatever study you got that "fact" from.
I'm assuming you're referring to St. John's Wort. Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean it can't be potent with its own side effects. At least medications are regulated by the FDA and have relatively reliable doses in each pill.
|asteroids12 - Sat Oct 29, 2005 4:16 pm
dear fluffy
maybe you r not listening i said the pill can cause (can) liver problems.as for st johns tea is there any harm in trying somethin less harmful first then going straight to a doctor .
|asteroids12 - Sat Oct 29, 2005 4:21 pm
well actually it was a pharmacist who suggested st.johns tea not tablets which are obviously stronger...........
anyways im off effexor now 7days and no side effects no more zaps nausea fatigue..so i must be doing something right eh? fluffy..............
so there is no need to come into the forum and dish people im just expreessing my opinion.you r obviously already very closed up on the subject.
|fluffysmygem - Sun Oct 30, 2005 12:57 am
And you're obviously very sensitive. I don't know what dishing someone means, but if I offended you I'm sorry. I just think it's irresponsible to say things like "contraceptive pills can cause liver damage" unless you have a reliable study backing it up.
And my point that the FDA regulates medications and not herbs/vitamins, and that natural remedies are often very potent as well, still stands. I'm not saying that natural remedies are bad - I'm stating a fact. The more someone is informed, the better choices they can make for what works best for them.
I'm glad to hear you are doing well off of Effexor. I've talked to other people who have had trouble with Effexor as well.
|asteroids12 - Sun Oct 30, 2005 10:42 pm
i donot feel they do regulate these anti depressant effects cause if they did people wouldnt be so upset,most people feel uninformed mis informed? i was never told of the effects this drug would have.only that id be on it for the rest of my life. how ridiculous!! as for the pill if u read more bout it and become more knowledgeable you will see it can have these bad effects .i do a lot of researching .and i donot thk its normal to mess with ones hormones or brain serotonion levels for that matter.

5Barz International closes new deal, Indian presence now stronger than ever
5BARz International (OTCQB: BARZ), producer of the world's first radio frequency network extender device, has now partnered with a second Tier One (T1) telco in India. According to its press statement, the network carrier, which remain hitherto unnamed, will be the next company to distribute 5BARz's plug-and-play device after Vodafone.
The San Diego-based tech company announced through its Indian arm 5BARz India that the new telco partner's initial order comes with an "extensive program of field testing and laboratory test." After passing regulatory requirements, the Indian telco has finally gained approval to become a distributor of 5BARz's revolutionary product.
"As a result of this new order, our product deployment potential has now been substantially increased, giving us access to 42 percent of the entire subscriber base in India, a market which the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India [TRAI] reports to be more than a billion mobile phone subscribers," said 5BARz India CEO Samartha Nagabhushanam.
The company has been open about its initial goal, which is to partner with all major telcos in India to help them solve their infrastructure-related problems. India, despite its improving economic milieu and its prime minister's personal involvement in making India a major tech hub through its "Digital India" campaign, remains one of the countries with slow internet speeds in the world. It is also struggling with a massive call-drop problem, which has escalated to an ongoing feud between local telcos and the TRAI.
"Our goal is, by the end of the year we will be working with all of the tier one telco's in India. Our products will provide to this user base vastly improved cellular connectivity, comprised of clear cellular signal, a substantive increase in data upload and download speeds, and the elimination of dropped call," Nagabhushanam added.
Surface Mount Technology
Nagabhushanam also stated that the company adheres to the country's strict Surface Mount Technology (SMT) rulings. Aside from respect forthe Indian government, the company also wants to reduce possible field failure. This allows 5BARz to provide a safety environment to the workers in the manufacturing operations, as well as to the community near its assembly site.
"5BARz is an advocate of Green Manufacturing, the same way we want to produce a product that could help minimize energy use. We use RoHS compliant components and lead-free soldering techniques in assembling our network device," said CEO Daniel Bland.
In a separate press statement, the company revealed that various Elaborate Design Verification (EDV) tests are utilized and incorporated in its assembly segment. "The network extender undergoes an Accelerated Life Test for full functionality and performance in emulated Indian home and office scenarios, where 5BARz India intends to deploy maximum number of network extenders," it said in the statement.
5BARZ International's goal, however, goes beyond India, as it wants to become a global leader in helping all telecom firms across the world in their respective system-related predicaments. Its network extender device, marketed simply as 5BARz, is the first on the global market that doesn't use cables and intricate antenna systems.
"We call it plug-and-play because that is how it works—you plug it and use it right away," said Naresh Soni, 5Barz chief technology officer. "Even non-tech savvy users could use it."
The radio frequency device is unlike network repeaters and boosters utilizing Femtocell technology. It is capable of extending a mobile device signal to its utmost strength—thus 5BARz—even outside an enclosed space, in a crowded, open area, or on a moving vehicle. "Our technology has gained praises from revered radio frequency experts and electrical engineers in the States," added Soni. "We also hold the patent for this technology."
The company plans to expand to Southeast Asia after its Indian market commencement success. It is now in talks with leading networks in the region. After Asia, the company will bring its plug-and-play device to South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe, with North America completing its global expansion plan.

Tottenham Expose AC Milan as Aging Also-Rans in Memorable Champions League WinFebruary 15, 2011
There are a number of reasons that footballing theories become cliches, but foremost amongst them is that they are true.
On Tuesday night, Tottenham Hotspur proved two such well-worn opinions: namely, Premier League sides are full of energy and vigour, whilst Italian teams are slow and cluttered with old players.
Spurs completed one of the most memorable nights in their history by winning 1-0 against AC Milan in the San Siro and are strong favourites to go through to the quarterfinals. In doing so, they underlined their status as one of Europe's up-and-coming forces.
Maybe they will pass AC Milan on the way down.
Tottenham's starting team had an average age of exactly 27, with only two players over 30. AC Milan's, meanwhile, had an average age of 29.9 and five players the wrong side of three decades. It showed.
Spurs opened full of vibrancy and pace, taking the initiative in the starting exchanges and playing the role of the home side with such conviction that the Milan players must have believed it. The Rossoneri were woeful in the first half, playing with all the youth and style of Tony Blackburn.
It had to get better in the second half for Milan. It couldn't have become much worse. But it did.
Their performance did improve, largely due to the introduction of Pato, who added some much-needed impetus to a front line lacking ambition and ideas. Their discipline, however, disintegrated into the storm blowing through the San Siro.
Flamini first lunged two-footed into Vedran Corluka in an atrocious challenge which saw the Croatian leave the pitch, emerging in the dug-out on crutches and in an ankle brace.
This wasn't the end, though. Oh, no. Gennaro Gattuso saw to that.
In a flurry of elbows, pushes, dissent and vicious tackles, "The Growler" was lucky to still be on the pitch by the full-time whistle—at which point he proceeded to headbutt Joe Jordan, Tottenham's assistant manager.
Previously in the game, Gattuso had shoved Jordan in the throat after an altercation.
Gattuso, unsurprisingly, picked up a booking in the second half and so would have missed the second leg anyway, but UEFA will surely be looking at his behaviour after the match and he could well be on the receiving end of a hefty ban. You won't see many Spurs fans arguing if he does.
As the game descended into a large-scale brawl at the end, AC Milan only served to justify another cliche in football: Italian clubs are prone to ill discipline.
A team top of their domestic league and with seven European Cups to their name might have been expected to show a touch more class in the continent's premier competition.
As it was, all the class belonged to Tottenham - a team who could be replacing them at Europe's top table.

Earlier this year Amanda Hesser had a compelling article in the Times about standing rib roast; compelling in the sense that, after I read it, I felt compelled to try the recipe that Hesser was promoting. It was a resurrected technique from a 1960s article by Craig Claiborne (borrowed, in turn, from former Gourmet editor Ann Seranne) that called for roasting the meat for a short time at a very high temperature (500 degrees), then turning off the heat and letting it coast in to perfect doneness as the oven cooled.
Hesser's write-up offered the recipe as a lost and rediscovered treasure, and I got all squirmy and hungry looking at the crisp-fatted, dark brown roast pictured in the article:
So I tried it, and when it produced a gray, dry, grimly overcooked roast I tried it again. I am not a pro by any stretch, but I think I'm a better-than-competent cook, and there aren't many variables in Hesser/Claiborne/Seranne's recipe to screw up. Still, I figured I must have done something wrong on the first attempt and so I was hyper-vigilant the second time around. The second roast was grayer, dryer and tougher than the first. Worse, the recipe instructs you to "allow the roast to remain in the oven until oven is lukewarm," so once you added time to bring it to the table, gather guests, carve and serve, I had a tough, gray, dry, and cold roast, which translated to a lot of depressing leftovers.
I still think I must have done something wrong, since this recipe has to have been tested many times, successfully, on the way to being printed and reprinted. But whatever I did must be a kind of mistake that plenty of folks could make.
Anyway, this weekend my family got together to celebrate my sister's birthday and she requested a standing rib roast. This was now a more-or-less dreadful assignment, but I decided to try out a method, this one from Jacques Pepin Celebrates. Our 7ish-pound, three-rib roast got 30 minutes at 425 and an hour at 400, after which I dropped the oven to 160 and let the meat rest inside, uncovered, for an hour.
God, it was perfect. Lovely and brown outside, rose-red all the way through. And the long spell resting in the warm oven meant that the roast was warm throughout our meal.
So I strongly recommend the Pepin recipe to anyone who's interested (it's available via Good Morning America here:)
And, since I still think I must've blown it, I'm very interested to hear from anyone who made the Times' recipe work.

There are a lot of independent courses been offered today by professional hair and makeup academies but to identify the right one that can help somebody to become a suitable professional is one of the tough choices to make. Some of the makeup courses which are been offered by these training institutes are also divided into modules like for beginners and professionals. In all these module based courses the institute try to divide the curriculum into layers with the promise that the same can add better value to students but in reality that is not true. In actual scenario you end up just paying more for the course and get no additional value.
Delhi being the hub for hair and makeup academies, there are a lot of academies providing makeup classes in the city. Though most of these makeup classes in delhi are provided by industry approved professionals but how much one can rely on them is still an open ended question to answer. Likewise in other forms of vocational courses, makeup courses offered by these training academies don't have any fixed curriculum and as there is no regulator for them standard instructional design patterns are not followed while designing these courses for makeup classes. Though the industry has it own standards in term of work ethics but nothing specific is there on the academic front making the process of choosing the right makeup artistry course more complex.
There are few things which a makeup academy in delhi should at least teach you so that course that you do can help you become a perfect professional. The most important parameters based upon which one can judge the perfectness of a makeup class are :
a. The classes should start with teaching the student on matters related to physiology of the skin structure and health. This particular element can help you learn the basics of makeup artistry in a broader and theoretical way.
b. The second most important thing which should be part of the makeup class is related building skill related to improving skin's health and how can take care of the skin in a professional way.
c. The third most important element is related to learning of application and blending techniques which is the first step towards practical training for makeup artistry.
d. The fourth and one of the most thing a makeup class should cover is related to doing makeup for specific scenarios like bridal or for fashion. In fact there are different courses for these two scenarios. The Bridal makeup course is one the most famous as professional makeup artist in this particular space are most popular and mostly demanded in the industry.So it is always advised not to fall in trap of module based course or makeup classes though offering education at a cheaper but don't help you learn the right skill to be accepted as a professional in the industry. Judge a makeup class in delhi or any other based upon the parameters mentioned above so that you build a fruitful career in the space
Aashmeen Munjaal's Hair and Makeup Academy in Delhi is a Best make up Institute offers best Hairstyling,beautician course and make up artist courses in Delhi at affordable cost.

Just think about that......who are the idiots? The thread was not adressed to YOU, was it. So you are peeping-toms. Perverted peeping-toms.

I will say I have no business reading your personal apology to whoever it was you created this love-letter of a thread to. But can I remind you that this is an OPEN forum? If you were bothered by "peeping toms" looking at it why create an open thread? Especially "perverted peeping toms"
Jan 30, 2012, 08:37 PM #13
Good lord ........just read the dang thread. If you don't like it and it has nothing to do with you, just move on. Yes, open forum so I can post what I want.........ignore me if I am so annoying. I don't know about some of you people. You guys take things way too seriously. You don't seem to "get" things either. Some of you guys just aren't that bright.
There seems to be "The Howard Stern" effect going down here. People who don't like me seem to spend more time reading my posts than anyone else.
If anybody is that upset at my love post, I'll be at The Walter Rand Transportation Center/City Hall in Camden later this week. Come look me up. I'd love to see you.

if you have anything else to say to me, do it via pm. like others have said, a public forum is not the right place for a genuine & sincere apology.

that said, i also know when my input is not wanted in a community. while i'll continue to visit the site for forecasting purposes, i don't see myself posting much from here on out.

In the old days real estate agents liked to have fresh coffee brewing during the open inspections so the aroma wafted through the house.
Blogger: Bernadette Janson, The School of Renovating
These days the aroma of choice is fresh paint.
Paint has the ability to transform and its cheap. There are two rules, keep neutral and consistent through out the home. If you are concerned that neutral is boring, remember that neutral colours can be quite strong , especially with the modern grey palettes that are around now.
The paintwork acts as a fresh, clean, backdrop for the furniture and home wares used to style the property.
I find a Colour consultant is essential for saving time and money with test pots and struggling with decisions. You can engage a colour consultant
for around $150/hour to work your colours out early in the project so that you don't lose time trying to make the colour decisions when you are in the thick of the project.
If using a light neutral wall colour I like to make the ceiling ¼ strength wall colour rather than white as it gives a much softer, more sophisticated look.
Feature walls were popular but are now considered a little passé. It is not a good idea to pick out a wall in a n accent colour instead go for double or triple strength wall colour or even a texture with paintable wallpaper can add interest without risking polarizing your buyers.
Always use the mattest of matt on the ceiling to hide any imperfections in the plaster board. A good ceiling will look shabby with the application of any level of sheen.
Walls should be good quality low sheen acrylic paint. Walls take a hammering and must be washable. Skirtings and architraves are best done in oil based gloss enamel if they are in good condition. If they are old and imperfect go for oil based satin enamel as it will highlight less imperfections.
Light does funny things to colour – another reason to engage a colour consultant who understands and can help you by selecting the colours to achieve the outcome you are after. It is important that you use a minimum of four external colours so you have variation in the features of the house. If you limit the colours to one colour on the walls , one on the windows and one on the gutters and fascias it will look a bit like a paper bag, you need to pick out features with varying strengths to add dimension.
While paint is guaranteed for many years, the reality is that if you are selling a house with paintwork older than 18 months, particularly if you have teenagers thumping around, it will need a spruce up. Before listing a property for sale it is worth painting the main rooms with just one coat of the same colour paint to bring the walls back to their original glory. This will also restore the just – renovated look.

GCF response to Guernsey Household Income Report
Guernsey: as wealthy as we think?
Guernsey and the Channel Islands are often perceived as – or promoted to be – a group of idyllic, thriving islands where wealthy individuals live in peace and tranquillity. The latest Guernsey household income report, published by the States of Guernsey, paints a much more complex picture. In reality, we are living in a society where the fortunes of the local population are much more mixed.
The standard definition of those at risk of relative income poverty used by international organisations like the OECD measures the number of people living in households with an income of less than 60% of national median income, after taking account of the number of individuals living in the household. In 2014, the median household income in Guernsey was around £31,000 per year after households have paid income tax, social security contributions and housing costs. Households living on less than 60% of Guernsey's median income would be living on a household income of less than £18,650 per annum on this basis.
The latest figures show that 27.1% of all households in Guernsey and 22.3% of people living in Guernsey – that is just over one in five of the local population - would be classed as at risk of living in relative income poverty under this international definition. This implies 12,475 people living in Guernsey are at risk of relative income poverty and have household incomes below 60% of median income.
A staggering 68.3% of single parent households and 56.9% of households with one adult over age 65, have household income below 60% of the median income suggesting that policymakers may need to closely monitor relative poverty levels among single parent and single pensioner households.
In addition, 31.7% of children living in Guernsey live in households whose income is less than 60% of the median income. The percentage of children at risk of relative income poverty is perhaps the most worrying statistic of all and shows that there is no room for complacency about child poverty levels on the Island.
These figures highlight the importance of the States of Guernsey implementing the social benefit welfare reforms without further delay. The introduction of the secondary pension scheme should also be prioritised in order that future generations will have the potential to have higher incomes in retirement. As things stand, the States is proposing to index the Guernsey old age pension to the retail price index from 2025 which, other things being equal, is likely to lead to higher levels of relative income poverty for those pensioners who rely heavily on the old age pension for their income.
A civilised society is often judged by how it treats its poorest and most vulnerable members of society. It is time that our political leaders take notice of these figures and start to take action to improve the incomes and the lives of our poorest and most vulnerable households.

Huntington Beach, California (PressExposure) March 23, 2012 -- New music artist PhiL was a young boy in Memphis, Tennessee when he realized music was his passion. As the youngest in a brood of three, the boy Philip Bell was teased by his mother and father that he was an unplanned baby. But there was a grand plan to little Phil's destiny and it is quite evident what it's about now.
PhiL's older brother encouraged him to join a choir, the drama club, and a band - but not with the reason you might expect. It was actually to get girlfriends! Take note, plural. And yet this juvenile motivation became obsolete as PhiL discovered his love for performing. At Watkins Overton High School of Performing Arts, PhiL excelled as he studied music and was even a member of the many award-winning Overton choirs: gospel, madrigals, concert, and his personal favorite, show.
Singing and performing have been good to PhiL. He has entertained crowds during a Mardi Gras celebration in Nice, France and has been featured at Motown Café in Sendai, Japan. His vocal coach Dini Clarke convinced him that he could mount a tribute concert on his own. They titled it 'Chillin' with PhiL' where he sang his own renditions of songs by Cab Calloway, Donny Hathaway, Johnny Mathis, and Harry Belafonte. Fre$h Records' executive Chazz Falker asked him to record his song 'Every Thought' and it won First Place at a local talent show as PhiL was in the duo PhiL 'n' Fresco. The attention even brought PhiL a national commercial for Oreo cookies!
PhiL continued to work with the group PhiL 'n' Fresco, smashing live talent shows and events with an experienced bravado. But egos clashed and the duo went their separate ways. With his record producer Chazz Falker, PhiL completed his very own album and he describes it as such: 'The music represents all of me. My Southern roots and my friends of every culture, age - you name it. People, music - unite!' His album title is encouragement enough: 'U PhiL Me?'
Indeed, we do PhiL.
Download PhiL's album 'U PhiL Me?' at iTunes, distributed by JMD Records and INgrooves, a partner of Universal Music Group.

Anything to get rid of the phone!
Simple: leave it on a park bench.
Jump off a tall building with it in your shirt pocket?
It won't bother you at all after that.
Wait for it to break? Or sell it. There are always those options.
suck it up for 2 months then upgrade to something with tegra 2?
i was gonna start a topic like this. Man my phone doesn't even load. I GET not data. I am sick of the lag when i make a phone call. If i were to make an emergency call, it won't go through till 35-40 seconds go by. Every second counts.
It is a cell phone first.
I pay insurance i think the $7 one for what, nothing. I am considering hiking and throwing it down the hill.
if you have problems, get a refurb, as soon as you get that refurb, sell it back for $132 towards a new phone. if u have two year contracts, you can upgrade after a year for $20. look into it. you bought the phone, do something about changing it. A thread isn't needed for it thought.

Tags: adt home security source
We often hear people (including myself) drone on at how the system is broken and how good guys end up in jail and bad guys are released on good behavior. The criminal justice system is far from fair. Too often bad people are let out only to re-offend and sometimes do worse the second or third time around. Securing your home is crucial way of protecting your home and family.
The Seattle PI reports "a man who police say beat an elderly woman and burglarized her home has schizoid-affective disorder, was released from jail three days before the attack and had to be placed in seclusion multiple times at Western State hospital.
The 81-year-old victim told police she thought he would have killed her if other elderly neighbors who police say he also assaulted didn't come to her aid."
That is likely someone's mom and grandmother. Imagine this happening to a loved one.
"The man, who is on Department of Corrections supervision, has a lengthy criminal history including a conviction for custodial assault, second-degree robbery, theft, assault, negligent driving, domestic violence harassment and domestic violence assault."
This is obviously a bad, bad man. He's been diagnosed with mental illness and he has extreme tendencies towards violence. The frustrating part of this story is that it is evident in his current state of mind and in his history that he will do this again and again until he commits a heinous enough crime that gets him a life or death sentence.
The courts can only work within the confines of the law. Citizens can only hope the law is sufficient enough to guarantee their safety. What this ultimately means is a citizen's right to safety is only guaranteed by what he or she does to protect themselves. The ultimate responsibility to protect yourself is on you. The justice system doesn't necessarily provide justice. It is simply a guide.
By coming to terms with this and realizing the responsibility you have, you develop a higher sense of awareness and begin to put systems in place to prevent such atrocities from happening in your life or to someone you love.
Fundamentals include locking your doors, having a home security plan, investing in home security alarms and home security cameras. The worst thing you can do is nothing. The best thing you can do is be proactive.
