Consciously Female: How to Listen to Your Body and Your Soul for a Lifetime of Healthier Living (Paperback)
How to Listen to Your Body and Your Soul for a Lifetime of Healthier Living
Bantam, 9780553381863, 448pp.
Publication Date: December 28, 2004
Through her own personal journey as well as her work with thousands of women as an Ob-Gyn, Dr. Gaudet knows that being able to tap into the spiritual, emotional, and cyclical realities of female life has a powerful effect on health and well-being. Yet she has found that many women are "unconscious" of the intimate connections between these realms. Now Dr. Gaudet explains to women how to reconnect their bodies and their souls, in order to become "consciously female." Using her experience in integrative medicine, which draws on the best of both alternative and conventional Western practices, she offers mind-body techniques that will give you a deeper understanding of the inner workings of your body, and access to your unique feminine wisdom.
By helping you make the best possible choices to support your health and wellness, the process of becoming "consciously female" will enrich and empower your life, day to day, week to week, year to year.
From the Hardcover edition.

In Re: William Gray, Jr., No. 16-433 (4th Cir. 2017)Annotate this Case
Movant sought leave to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C. 2254 petition challenging his conviction for first-degree murder. The court found that when a prisoner's successful habeas petition results in a new, intervening judgment, the prisoner's first habeas petition to challenge that new judgment is not second or successive within the meaning of section 2244(b), regardless of whether the petition challenges the prisoner's sentence or underlying conviction. In this case, the petition is not second or successive because it will be the first to challenge the intervening judgment that was the basis for Movant's confinement. Accordingly, the court denied the motion to file a second or successive petition as unnecessary and directed the district court to consider Movant's second-in-time section 2254 petition as the first challenge to the new judgment.

A cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Chihuahua, Tilly was born on January 15 at which time she was around three inches long and weighing less than four ounces.
Now fully grown, her owner Karen McPhearson has been told her growing days are over.
"Tilly is so boisterous and enthusiastic for someone so small," says Karen of East Kilbride.
"We took her to the vets last week and we were told that she will not grow any more.
"She has not got any bigger since she was four weeks old and now weighs just one pound four ounces and is just eight inches long and about eight inches tall from head to floor or six inches from her back to the floor."
Earlier this month, reports suggested that a Chiuahuah-Jack Russell cross puppy, aptly named Tom Thumb, could hold the record for Britain's smallest dog.
Measuring less than four inches from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail and weighing around three ounces the pup is considerably smaller than Tilly.
But at only three weeks of age, the tiny puppy has plenty of growing time left.
For Karen however, records are not so important as she and her husband Norrie, 46, now have another addition to their growing collection of dogs.
"Tilly weighs just one pound four ounces but she has a big appetite," says 45-year-old Karen.
"Apart from her usual five meals a day of dog food, she loves to drink tea and eat baby ruskies.
"Norrie and I are always running around after Tilly, her parents Sasha and Tyson (both Chorkies) and our fourth dog, CJ. a Japanese Akita.
"They can be quite a handful but they are definitely worth it."
Despite her tiny frame Tilly does not hold the record for the world's smallest pup.
That record, recognised by the Guinness Book of Records, belongs to Chihuahua Heaven Sent Brandy, a four-year-old Chihuahua from Florida in the USA, who is six inches long.

It's vented
The first shots of Tomb Raider Underworld that came out months ago did nothing for me. It just seemed like Uncharted for the PS3 raised the bar on how these types of games should look. Then, slowly, more screens and movies appeared as well as cool art and the reveal of a new live action Lara model.
First, let me say that this piece of art above is pure awesome. I have no clue if it has anything to do with the game (does she actually fight sharks in the open ocean?), but I like it. I also like wetsuits that almost look like thin leather armor, but I digress.
The new Lara model does not offend me as much as the last, mostly because her outfit makes fewer nonsensical alterations. There are two subtle improvements in the new design worth noting, one is the backpack straps across her upper torso. Very strategic location that is both functional and accentuate the chest. Speaking of chest, her side boobs now have vents. Vents people.
SCIV update
I've been massively sidetracked by Bionic Commando Rearmed, but still managed to be on the cusp of unlocking the majority of armor and items in Soul Calibur IV. Once completed, I'll start posting my creations for anyone still playing SCIV.

Hey I am glad someone still have an interest for Tomb Raider. I missed your toys costume review. You should do a comparison costume review with older games. Like between Final Fantasy 3 and 13. That would be interesting.
Sorry It´s not related to TR
Wataru you should check Tales of Vesperia, it´s an amazing game with lots of costumes to unlock, and many other features. Great Game

Los Besos Trailer (2015)
16 July 2015 82 mins
A delayed flight makes Jerónimo extend his stay in the city he is visiting. There is where he meets Lisa after some time without seeing each other. Lisa invites him to wait at her home until the departure of his flight. Meanwhile they spend time with some friends: Dante wants to do a movie and Lucila wants to sing her song. The uncertainty flying around resembles the way they approach. Characters ranging in a summer of indecision, where nothing seems to hurry them.

Chicago politicians react to Cubs winning World Series
FOX 32 NEWS - The Cubs' World Series win was a wonderful gift not just to fans, but to local politicians. They were thrilled to talk about something other than Chicago's problems.
Mayor Emanuel said he got only two hours of sleep after a whirlwind trip to Cleveland to watch the Cubs dramatic win. He was right behind the Cubs' dugout for the dramatic seventh game. It was an emotional experience.
"I'm still trying to look through the English language to find the exact words to say how incredible a feeling it was to watch what was happening on that field. And, literally, I don't know if it was the second or third pitch -- the home run! I will say this. I've got a hundred things I want to say. I can't even put 'em together," Emanuel said.
Also pleading a lack of sleep after 13 hours of turnpike driving, Wrigleyville's own Congressman Mike Quigley.
"We drove out there yesterday. Came back this morning with, I think, about 8,000 Cubs fans that were there," Quigley said.
FOX 32: You saw them on the Ohio Turnpike and Indiana Toll Road?
"Every stop along the way, every rest stop was packed with Cubs fans on their way out to Cleveland and this morning on their way back. It was great!" Quigley added.
FOX 32: So, how come you didn't go representative?
"I have a baby at home who goes to bed pretty early," Tammy Duckworth said.
Democrat Tammy Duckworth is also campaigning for the U.S. Senate. She made a pilgrimage to Wrigleyville on the day after, basking in the reflected glow of the World Series champions.
Sen. Mark Kirk wore a Cubs cap as he prepared for this weekend's Willis Tower stair climbing marathon. It benefits the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, where Kirk recuperated from a severe stroke. He admires the young athletes like slugger Addison Russell whose heroics rehabilitated the Cubs.
"When somebody says, 'What did you do in the war, daddy?' He'll say, 'I played in the World Series and hit a grand slam,'" Kirk said.
The politicos know this Cubs-induced honeymoon won't last long for them, not with tough decisions coming up right after next Tuesday's election. But it's fun while it lasts.
A spokesman for Mayor Emanuel says he didn't pay those sky-high ticket prices. He says the mayor's father-in-law lives in the Cleveland area and has season tickets, and that the mayor got his ticket from family friends.

I recently purchased a set of Ping i10s from Golfbidder. The entire transaction, from start to finish, was great. There were a number of sets that I could choose from, the clubs were well described, and Golfbidder processed and despatched the order with the utmost speed and efficiency. I thought that the clubs were actually in much better condition than the rating implied, which gives me a lot of confidence to buy from them again.
Overall, I had a great experience with Golfbidder and I will use them again without hesitation.

Klopp tells ticketless fans not to travel
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he regrets telling Reds fans without tickets to travel to Basel for their Europa League final.
Liverpool have been allocated only 10,236 tickets for the 18 May final against holders Sevilla in Switzerland.
Klopp said: "Last time I spoke about Basel, I spoke like a supporter and I invited all Liverpool fans to Basel.
"That was not too smart, to be honest. Basel is a nice city but it is not ready for us and it was my mistake."
Uefa was forced to defend its decision to stage the final at St Jakob-Park, which has a capacity of 35,000.
Liverpool may receive a small number of extra tickets should Sevilla not sell their full allocation, but thousands of their supporters are still set to be disappointed.
Klopp, who made his initial suggestion the day after Liverpool had beaten Villarreal at Anfield to reach the final, added: "Please only people with tickets go there because everything else will be chaos and we don't want this.
"We have to concentrate on football. It is wonderful to be in the stadium but if you cannot be there then stay at home or come to Liverpool and watch the game together with friends and let's have a party after this.
"It is really, really, really necessary that you now listen. Most of the time you can ignore what I say but now it is important."

This article is based on a comparative thematic analysis of two novels that explore the experiences of institutional psychiatric care. Ken Kesey's 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a classic of modern U.S. literature. It is argued here that Kesey's representation of the "psychiatric patient" as rebel was not only a reflection of some the changing societal attitudes in postwar America, but it also helped to shape them. The challenge to the asylum system was thus cast in terms of questions of the civil rights of a marginalized group. The main themes of the novel reflect those of protesters against the abuses of the asylum system—the poor physical conditions, the social isolation of the patients, poor physical care and abuse, and the use of ECT and psychosurgery. The rebellious spirit of Kesey's work is contrasted with a recent novel—Nathan Filer's 2012 award-winning The Shock of the Fall. In Filer's work, the optimism and challenge to authority has dissipated to be replaced by a resigned fatalism reflecting the current crisis in mental health services.

One of Fleurieu Peninsula's favourite beaches will be the venue for the South Australian stop of the highly anticipated 2017 Australian Bodyboarding Association (ABA) Pro Tour over three days in May.
With resounding support, locals and surrounding businesses will gather in Port Elliot for the 11th annual Sun Zapper Knights Beach Pro on the 26th-28th of May.
General Manager of the Australian Bodyboarding Association, the aptly named Dylan Beach, says the event is one of the favourite stops on the tour for both riders and spectators. "The wave itself is unique, it's perfectly suited for riders to show off spectacular air and barrel moves. By closing off the road, we are able to create an amphitheatre-like viewing atmosphere that you don't find at many surfing event locations around the world."
Spectators will be able to sit on the rocks and be as close as 30 metres away from the action. Local businesses in Port Elliot have been instrumental in the organisation of the event in previous years, acting in support of the Knights Beach leg of the tour.
"Of course, we couldn't do it without the support of the local community and businesses. The Alexandrina Council have been huge supporters of the event each year, helping us engage with the entire South Coast community," Dylan says. Businesses within the community that have contributed in sponsorship include De Groot Coffee, Home Grain Bakery, The Hotel Elliot and The Beach House YHA.
De Groot Coffee will have their van set up on site for spectators to enjoy a warm morning brew while catching the action. The Hotel Elliot will also hold an event on the Saturday evening to gather locals, visitors to the region and those on the tour.
The event draws a young, active crowd to the region over the three-day competition, boasting a negligible environmental impact on the pristine location at Port Elliot. With 50 riders competing from all around the world, the contender list includes the up-and-coming Tanner McDaniel from Hawaii who is a seasoned competitor in world championships. Other competitors include notable riders from last year's tour, Joe Clarke and Simon Cassidy, as well as Lachlan Cramsie who has been leading the tour rankings so far.
Join in on the fun for the fantastic spectator sport which is set to draw hundreds to the exceptional backdrop of Knights Beach in Port Elliot over the weekend.

I CANNOT agree with Peter Jensen when he says that it is not dangerous to park on the pavement (Letters, December 14).
When cars are parked on the pavement it is very difficult to see if any cars are coming down the road.
I feel very vulnerable backing out of my garden, as I am nearly at the other side of the road by the time I can see if anyone is approaching.

(WFLA) – Residents and visitors of the Japanese town Ono got a rare meteorological treat this week, NBC reported.
The early morning weather conditions had to be just right to blanket the basin around the Echizen Ono Castle in dense mist and make the castle appear floating on a bed of clouds.
The is the first time this year the stunning visual effect presents itself. It typically happens about 10 times a year. The cameras were rolling and the early guests were taking the magic of the scenery in.
One woman said she was ecstatic to see the spectacle. Another man said he came from 300 miles away just to see it.

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Shares of WesternZagros Resources Ltd surged 13 percent on Monday after Talisman Energy Inc, its partner in an exploration prospect in Iraq's Kurdistan region, announced positive drilling results.
Talisman said it found a "significant accumulation of light oil" in a well called Kurdamir-2. Its test of a geological formation known as the Oligocene flowed at stabilized rates of 3,450 barrels a day over two days, the company said.
The results confirm an oil column of at least 146 metres (479 feet), and the deepest extent will be tested by drilling a third well, Talisman said.
WesternZagros shares jumped 14 Canadian cents to C$1.25 on the TSX Venture Exchange. Talisman was up 24 Canadian cents, or 2 percent, at C$11.30 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Talisman and Western Zagros both have 40 percent stakes in the prospect and the Kurdistan regional government owns the remainder.

The present invention relates to DC offset correction, and in particular, to providing DC offset correction in multiple mode or multiple band mobile terminals and the like.
Wireless communication systems support various access technologies, each of which can take numerous forms and be implemented in different frequency bands. For example, the standard analog access technology for U.S. cellular applications is advanced mobile phone system (AMPS), which uses a range of frequencies between 824 megahertz (MHz) and 894 MHz. Digital cellular applications typically use frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), or code division multiple access (CDMA) access technologies. FDMA systems typically operate between 824 and 893 MHz. TDMA systems normally operate at either 800 MHz (interim standard (IS)-54) or 1900 MHz (IS-136) frequency bands. TDMA technology is implemented in the global system for mobile communications (GSM) standard in three different frequency bands, depending on geography. For example, GSM operates in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands in Europe and Asia, and in the 1900 MHz band in the United States. In addition to GSM, TDMA is used in PCS (personal communication services)-based systems operating in the 1850 MHz to 1990 MHz bands. CDMA systems typically operate in either the 800 MHz or 1900 MHz frequency bands.
Given the lack of standardization and the varying infrastructure for the above systems, mobile terminals, such as mobile telephones, personal digital assistants, wireless modems, and the like, often need to communicate in different bands and operate in different modes, depending on the type of transmission technology used. In addition to providing analog capability, newer phones are supporting multiple modes and frequency bands.
To support such operation, mobile terminals typically incorporate dedicated low-noise amplifiers (LNAS) and associated filtering for each frequency band supported. Further, the down-conversion circuitry is configured to down-convert the received signals from various frequency bands and using various transmission technologies to an intermediate frequency (IF) or directly to a baseband level for baseband processing. The mixers used in the down-conversion circuitry are driven by local oscillators having varying frequencies depending on the mode of operation.
Unfortunately, the local oscillator energy can leak into the system and cause a DC offset in the down-converted signal. The local oscillator energy may leak into the antenna, which results in a signal that is amplified by the LNA and mixed into the down-converted signal, resulting in a DC offset. The local oscillator energy may also leak into the LNA inputs, causing the same result. Further, the local oscillator energy may leak into the input of the mixer, and ultimately be mixed with itself to create a DC offset. DC offsets may also be caused by mismatched devices that create an imbalance among the differential signals or out-of-band signals from other mobile terminals, base stations, and the like. The DC offset is particularly detrimental in systems wherein the down-converted signals are represented as baseband signals. Even in the absence of leakage signals, the differential signals provided by the down-conversion circuitry should have a common DC level. Typically, DC correction circuitry is used to sample the down-converted differential signals and adjust their DC levels to minimize the impact of any DC offset during baseband processing. For multiple band and multiple mode mobile terminals, switching from one mode or band to another typically affects the DC offsets associated with the differential signals, and requires a DC adjustment of these signals prior to receiving signals in each mode.
During DC offset correction, the antenna must be blocked so that the DC correction circuitry does not falsely lock onto an instantaneous signal level associated with a desired or interfering receive signal. Traditionally, there have been three methods to isolate the antenna from the rest of the system. The first method is to use a transmit/receive switch or duplexer to effectively open the path between the LNA and the antenna, and thus avoid any signals being presented to the LNA inputs. This method has proven unacceptable, in that the switch or the duplexer cannot provide complete isolation, and thus allows signals appearing at the antenna to reach the LNA, which results in an almost random DC level at the outputs of the LNAs. Another alternative is to selectively inject the RF path when more isolation is needed. This approach adds complexity and expense to the application. Yet another method is to turn off the LNA, and thus block signals from reaching the down-conversion circuitry. In this method, where the LNAs are deactivated, the DC offset correction takes place without compensating for LO leakage. Thus, when the LNA is reactivated, the DC offset caused by leakage signals is present. In essence, the latter method corrects for circuit imperfections, but does not address DC offsets induced by leakage signals. Accordingly, there is a need for an improved architecture and process for addressing and correcting DC offset injected into down-converted signals due to signal leakage and the like.
The present invention facilitates improved DC offset correction in a radio frequency receiver, which is capable of receiving signals using any number of communication technologies. In the receiver front end, multiple primary low noise amplifiers (LNAs) are provided and individually selected depending on a communication technology associated with a signal to be received. During reception, signals received at an antenna are coupled via a transmit-receive switch, duplexer, or like switching means, to a receive path leading to the inputs of the primary LNAs. The appropriate primary LNA is activated and the signal is amplified by the primary LNA, down-converted, and then processed at baseband. Prior to receiving the signal, the down-converted signals typically require DC offset correction. The present invention provides a dummy LNA and an associated resistive network. Prior to DC offset correction, the primary LNAs are deactivated and the antenna is decoupled from the receive path leading to the inputs of the primary LNAs. A resistance is selected to provide a load at the input of the dummy LNA, wherein the load emulates the input load resistance seen by the primary LNA, which will be used to receive the incoming signal. Thus, the output of the dummy LNA emulates the DC performance of the primary LNA used to receive the incoming signal to allow accurate DC offset correction.
In one embodiment, the dummy and primary LNAs have differential inputs and differential outputs. Further, a filter, preferably an acoustic wave filter, such as a surface acoustic wave filter, is placed between the switching means and the differential input of each primary LNA. Similarly, the dummy LNA has a differential input and output, and the resistive network provides selectable resistances across the differential input of the dummy LNA. The output of the dummy and primary LNAs may be coupled together and to differential inputs of down-conversion circuitry. In the preferred embodiment, the down-conversion circuitry provides quadrature-based down-conversion. Further, the outputs of the down-conversion circuitry are preferably differential in-phase and quadrature-phase intermediate frequency or very low intermediate frequency signals. DC offset correction circuitry is provided to monitor the respective DC levels of the differential in-phase and differential quadrature-phase signals to adjust the DC levels of the respective signals to a substantially common level prior to baseband processing. Although a differential embodiment is preferred, single ended LNA and filter embodiments also benefit from the present invention.
In operation, control logic, such as a central control system, a serial data interface, part of the baseband processing, or a combination thereof, may be used to control DC offset correction. The control logic functions to effect DC offset correction as follows. Upon determining the need to receive an incoming signal, the control logic will decouple the antenna from the receive path via the switching means, select an appropriate resistance of the resistive network for the input of the dummy LNA, and then activate the dummy LNA.
After allowing the system to settle, the control logic will instruct the DC offset correction circuitry to correct the DC levels of the respective differential in-phase and differential quadrature-phase signals provided by the down-conversion circuitry. Once DC offset correction is complete, the dummy LNA is deactivated and the appropriate primary LNA is activated. Finally, the switching means is instructed to couple the antenna to the receive path so that the incoming signal may be amplified by the appropriate primary LNA, down-converted, and processed at baseband in traditional fashion.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate the scope of the present invention and realize additional aspects thereof after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments in association with the accompanying drawing figures.
The accompanying drawing figures incorporated in and forming a part of this specification illustrate several aspects of the invention, and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a block representation of a mobile terminal configured according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram outlining a process for DC offset correction according to one embodiment of the present invention.
The embodiments set forth below represent the necessary information to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention and illustrate the best mode of practicing the invention. Upon reading the following description in light of the accompanying drawing figures, those skilled in the art will understand the concepts of the invention and will recognize applications of these concepts not particularly addressed herein. It should be understood that these concepts and applications fall within the scope of the disclosure and the accompanying claims.
The present invention is preferably incorporated in a mobile terminal 20, such a mobile telephone, personal digital assistant, or the like. The basic architecture of a mobile terminal 20 is represented in FIG. 1 and may include a receiver front end 22, a radio frequency transmitter section 24, an antenna 26, a duplexer or transmit/receive (TX/RX) switch 28, a baseband processor 30, a control system 32, a frequency synthesizer 34, and interface circuitry 36. The receiver front end 22 receives information bearing radio frequency (RF) signals from one or more remote transmitters provided by an access point, such as a base station (not illustrated).
The illustrated receiver front end 22 is configured to receive signals from a number of communication bands facilitating a number of communication techniques. During reception of RF signals, the TX/RX switch 28 is positioned to connect the antenna 26 to a receive path containing a number of filters 38, which are individually connected to a primary low noise amplifier (LNA) 40A-40D. Each communication band is associated with one filter 38A-38D and one primary LNA 40A-40D. As illustrated in the disclosed example, there are four bands, corresponding to US Cellular, EGSM, DCS, and PCS. This exemplary configuration is only provided for the purposes of illustration and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Filter 38A and LNA 40A operate when receiving signals in the US Cellular band; filter 38B and LNA 40B operate when receiving signals in the EGSM band; filter 38C and LNA 40C operate when receiving signals in the DCS band; and filter 38D and LNA 40D operate when receiving signals in the PCS band. Preferably, the filters 38A-38D are surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, or compatible filters, having a singled ended input and a differential output. The filters 38A-38D provide band-pass filtering about the corresponding communication band to minimize broadband interference and a differential output signal representative of the filtered RF signal.
The differential output signal for the given communication band is then sent to down-conversion circuitry 42, which provides differential quadrature down-conversion in traditional fashion. Accordingly, the differential output signal is down-converted to differential in-phase signals, I+ and I−, and differential quadrature signals, Q+ and Q−, representing the in-phase and quadrature components of the received signal. The in-phase and quadrature signals are down-converted to an intermediate frequency (IF), and preferably a very low IF (VLIF) or direct conversion (DCR), for baseband processing by the baseband processor 30 according to the communication band and technique used when generating the received signal. The baseband processor 30 processes the differential in-phase and quadrature signals, I+, I−, Q+, and Q− to extract the information or data conveyed in the received signal. The down-conversion circuitry 42 typically uses one or more mixing frequencies generated by the frequency synthesizer 34 to effect quadrature down-conversion. Since the baseband processing typically comprises demodulation, decoding, and error correction operations, the baseband processor 30 is generally implemented in one or more digital signal processors (DSPs).
On the transmit side, the baseband processor 30 receives digitized data, which may represent voice, data, or control information, from the control system 32, which it encodes for transmission. The encoded data is output to the transmitter 24, where it is used by a modulator 44 to modulate a carrier signal that is at a desired transmit frequency. The modulator 44 also uses one or more mixing frequencies generated by the frequency synthesizer 34 to effect modulation. Power amplifier circuitry 46 amplifies the modulated carrier signal to a level appropriate for transmission from the antenna 26. The amplified signal is coupled to the antenna 26 via the TX/RX switch 28 and an output matching network 48, which provides impedance matching between the power amplifier circuitry 46 and the antenna 26 and TX/RX switch 28.
The present invention is directed to an improved structure and technique for addressing DC offset within the differential in-phase signals I+ and I−, and the DC offset between the differential quadrature signals Q+ and Q− when transitioning to a receive state for any communication band. Accordingly, the following outlines the general techniques for compensating for such DC offsets and will be followed by a detailed discussion of how to use an additional, or dummy, LNA 40E to minimize DC offsets associated with leakage from the local oscillator in the frequency synthesizer 34.
Prior to baseband processing, the differential in-phase and quadrature signals, I+, I−, Q+ and Q− are preferably filtered with filters 50A-50D, respectively, and amplified with amplifiers 52A and 52B to a desired signal level. As illustrated, the relative DC levels of each of the differential in-phase and quadrature signals, I+, I−, Q+, and Q− are monitored by DC correction circuitry 56. The DC correction circuitry determines the relative DC levels for the differential in-phase and quadrature signals, I+, I−, Q+, and Q− and provides corresponding level adjustment outputs to adjust the DC levels of the individual differential in-phase and quadrature signals, I+, I−, Q+, and Q−. Each level adjustment output is summed with the corresponding one of the differential in-phase and quadrature signals, I+, I−, Q+, and Q− to effect DC offset correction using summing circuitry 54A-54D. The DC offset correction operates to force the DC levels of the differential in-phase signals I+ and I− to a common level, and the DC levels of the differential quadrature signals Q+ and Q− to a common level to reduce or eliminate distortion caused by having a DC offset between the respective differential signals.
As noted, the present invention incorporates a dummy LNA 40E in additional to the LNAs 40A-40D used to provide amplification for the various frequency bands. Preferably, all of the primary LNAs 40A-40D and the dummy LNA 40E are identically formed and configured on a common integrated circuit so as to provide uniform operation. The dummy LNA 40E has a differential input coupled to a resistive network, illustrated as comprising resistors 66A-66C. During DC offset correction, the resistive network provides a selectable resistance across the differential input of the dummy LNA 40E. The selected resistance is chosen to emulate the impedance that is normally presented to the differential input of one of the LNAs 40A-40D associated with the communication band that is going to be used for receiving the incoming signal. The selected resistance will correlate to the equivalent resistance at the output of the corresponding filter 38A-38D. Thus, the resistance reflects that provided by the corresponding one of the filters 38A-38D and any other residual resistance provided by elements between the input of the LNAs 40A-40D and the receive leg of the TX/RX switch 28. In one embodiment, the resistors 66A-66C are selectively coupled across the differential input of the dummy LNA 40E via switching transistor pairs, 68-70, 72-74, and 76-78, respectively. Those skilled in the art will recognize various types of selectable resistive networks capable of controlling the resistance provided across the differential input of the dummy LNA 40E.
For controlling DC offset correction according to the disclosed embodiment, control logic, represented by the control system 32, will control the TX/RX switch 28 using a TX/RX switch control signal 58, control the operational state of the LNAs 40A-40E using an LNA control signal 60, select the resistor(s) to place across the differential input of the dummy LNA 40E using a load control signal 62, and control the DC correction circuitry 56 using a DC correction control signal 64. The TX/RX switch control signal 58 controls the position of the switch 28. The LNA control signal 60 is used to selectively activate and deactivate any of the LNAs 40, including the dummy LNA 40E. The load control signal 62 may be used to selectively switch on the one or more transistor pairs 68-70, 72-74, and 76-78 to couple an appropriate resistance to the input of the dummy LNA 40E. The DC correction control signal 64 will preferably control when the DC correction circuitry 56 will operate to adjust the DC voltage levels of the differential in-phase and quadrature signals, I+, I−, Q+, and Q−.
The DC offset correction process for the disclosed embodiment of the present invention is outlined in FIG. 2. Assume that each of the LNAs 40A-40E is initially deactivated. The process begins (step 100) when a receive enable signal, or like signal, is received by the control system 32 to indicate there is a need to receive an incoming signal (step 102). The control system 32 will next switch the TX/RX switch 28 away from the receive position or desired communication band (step 104). The resultant position of the switch 28 may be such that the antenna 26 is coupled to the transmit path or placed in an open position. If a duplexer or like switching means is used in place of the TX/RX switch 28, the device is configured to decouple the antenna 26 from the input of the filter 38 associated with the communication band for the incoming signal. Preferably, the antenna 26 is not coupled to any of the filters 38.
Next, the control system 32 places an appropriate resistance across the differential input of the dummy LNA 40E based on the communication band for the incoming signal (step 106) using the load control signal 62. As noted, the selected resistance corresponds to resistance normally seen at the input of the given LNA 40A-40D used during reception of the signal for the given communication band. The control system 32 will then activate the dummy LNA 40E (step 108) and allow the system to settle for a defined period of time (step 110). At this point, any differential output signals of the dummy LNA 40E are likely caused by local oscillator leakage or relatively continuous environmental conditions affecting the differential outputs of any of the LNAs 40A-40E. These differential output signals of the LNAs 40A-40E result in DC offsets in the differential in-phase and quadrature signals, I+, I−, Q+, and Q− due to the mixing action with the LO signal in the down-conversion circuitry 42.
Thus, the control system 32 activates the DC correction circuitry 56 to monitor the levels of the differential in-phase and quadrature signals, I+, I−, Q+, and Q− and provide any necessary DC offset correction (step 110). After DC offset correction, the control system 32 will deactivate the dummy LNA 40E (step 112) and select the appropriate LNA 40A-40D associated with the communication band for the incoming signal (step 114). Next, the control system 32 will switch the TX/RX switch 28 to the receive position, which will couple the antenna to the input of the appropriate filter 38A-38D associated with the communication band of the incoming signal (step 116) to initiate reception and processing of the received signal in the appropriate communication band (step 118), wherein the DC offset correction process of the present invention ends (step 120).
Those skilled in the art will recognize various ways to implement the concepts of the present invention. For example, the control system 32 may be or may incorporate a serial data interface, as is known in the art to provide the functionality and control described in association with the TX/RX switch control signal 58, the LNA control signal 60, the load control signal 62, and the DC correction control signal 64. Further, various aspects of the control system 32 and the baseband processor 30 may be integrated in various degrees. Additional information relating to receiver front ends, LNAs, and down-conversion technology may be found in RF Microelectronics, by Behzad Razavi, 1998, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
A user may interact with the mobile terminal 20 via the interface 36, which may include interface circuitry 80 associated with a microphone 82, a speaker 84, a keypad 86, and a display 88. The interface circuitry 80 typically includes analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters, amplifiers, and the like. Additionally, it may include a voice encoder/decoder, in which case it may communicate directly with the baseband processor 30.
The microphone 82 will typically convert audio input, such as the user's voice, into an electrical signal, which is then digitized and passed directly or indirectly to the baseband processor 30. Audio information encoded in the received signal is recovered by the baseband processor 30, and converted into an analog signal suitable for driving speaker 84 by the interface circuitry 80. The keypad 86 and display 88 enable the user to interact with the mobile terminal 20, input numbers to be dialed, address book information, or the like, as well as monitor call progress information.
Those skilled in the art will recognize improvements and modifications to the preferred embodiments of the present invention. For example, the communication bands represented in the above embodiment may vary in number and type. Further, the LNAs may have a singled ended input (non-differential), single ended output, or a combination thereof. All such improvements and modifications are considered within the scope of the concepts disclosed herein and the claims that follow.

The popular Brighton jewelry collection offers a basic charm bracelet and an assortment of spacers and charms. The design of the ABC slide bracelet provides a quick and secure way to insert spacer beads, dangling charms and decorative rings on the chain to personalize jewelry. The rings on the charms and openings in the spacers fit over the rings on the bracelet. The slide bracelet includes a built-in terminal bead to manage slider charms and a two-clasp attachment to secure the bracelet ends.
Step 1
Detach the connector containing two clasps from the bracelet and set aside.
Step 2
Position the main chain of the bracelet on a flat surface, so that the plain ring is on the right side and the locking bead is on the left.
Step 3
Arrange your slider charms below the bracelet in the desired order.
Step 4
Insert spacers between each charm and add additional spacers between charms to create space and emphasis, such as a decorative slider bead charm. If desired, add spacers on the left and right sides of the arrangement to completely fill the available length of the bracelet.
Step 5
Lift the right end of the bracelet and insert the ring through each spacer and charm, moving from the left side of the arrangement to the right. The terminating bead will serve as a stopper to prevent the charms and spacers from sliding off the bracelet.
Step 6
Reattach the two clasps on the connector segment to each end of the bracelet.

Via Albula/Bernina
Go hiking in HD
Experience the very best in Alpine hiking, from the comfort of your own living room. Our very own "ibexes", Gian and Giachen, have been busy trying out and filming the trackside hiking routes of the Via Albula/Bernina. The result is a videoed reference resource that you can access in real time.
The hiking route along the Via Albula/Bernina, which covers a total length of 131 kilometres, runs mainly alongside the UNESCO World Heritage Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina landscapes. This allows hiking enthusiasts to experience a natural paradise that includes high-Alpine, Alpine and even subtropical zones, at their own pace – on foot or by rail, slowly or quickly, from north to south or vice versa. A series of 100 "info hotspots" provides you with information on everything worth seeing and knowing in each location. Spectacular attractions along the way include the 65-metre high Landwasser Viaduct and numerous Alpine lakes, such as Crap Alv or Lej Nair.

The taste is absolutely heavenly if you like sweet taste! I'm addicted to Golden Grahams.
The problem is the price. If I buy a generic brand from the supermarket, cornflakes cost me around 1,3 euro for 500 grams. Golden Grahams costs me almost 4 euro for 325 grams, and there is not even a toy in the box!
If it were less expensive I would buy it every week. Now I buy it only twice a year or so. That's the reason it got only 3 stars on 'value for money'.
