The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for government purposes without the payment of any royalty thereon.
Mixer is a device that has two or more signal inputs which are usually adjustable, and one common output. The mixer stage in a superheterodyne receiver combines the incoming modulated rf signal with the signal of a local rf oscillator to produce a modulated i-f signal. Crystal diodes are widely used as mixers in radar and other microwave equipment.
Many microwave radar superheterodyne receivers do not employ an RF amplifier. They simply use the crystal-mixer stage as the receiver front end. The noise figure of good crystal-mixer receivers is approximately 7 to 10 db over the range of radar frequencies. This is high compared with low-noise RF amplifiers. However, the noise figure of a crystal mixer is acceptable for many radar applications, especially where simplicity is an important consideration.
The purpose of the mixer portion of the superheterodyne receiver is to convert RF energy to IF energy. A crystal diode with nonlinear resistance characteristic is commonly used as the mixing element. A crystal mixer is broadband when the signal and image frequencies are both terminated in a matched load. The energy impressed in the RF signal channel of a broadband mixer is converted in equal portions to the IF signal and the image. Therefore the theoretical broadband conversion loss can never be less than 3 db. Shortcircuiting or open-circuiting the image termination results in a narrowband mixer. The conversion loss is less in the narrowband than in the broadband mixer.
There is considerable interest in high-performance mixers and receivers for the microwave, millimeter, and submillimeter-wave regions which will also be rugged, reliable, and can be mass produced at low cost. Applications range from radio astronomy to large military imaging systems. Since the packaging of existing high-performance mixers using whisker-contacted Schottky-barrier diodes is quite labor intensive, they are expensive and time consuming to produce. At frequencies above 100 GHz, conventional waveguide mixer circuits become increasingly difficult to make, losses increase rapidly, and circuit elements are located at electrically long distances from the diode leading to large and uncontrolled parasitic elements. Monolithic integration allows circuit elements to be located electrically close to the Schottky diode so that circuit losses are reduced and parasitic elements can be controlled. Moreover, novel coupling and impedance-matching configurations are made possible by using the precision of photolithographically defined circuit elements. A monolithic mixer that is easy to assemble, has the potential for low-cost mass production.
The present invention utilizes a dielectric substrate as a base for an integrated circuit mixer apparatus which uses a slot coupler in conjunction with a Schottky-barrier diode to provide the mixer function. An RF signal and a local oscillator signal are applied through a waveguide horn or TE10 waveguide to the dielectric substrate. A slot coupler couples the input signals through a coplanar transmission line to the Schottky-barrier diode. A bypass capacitor is connected between the mixer output and ground to remove any RF energy from the IF output signal.
It is one object of the present invention, therefore, to provide an improved integrated circuit mixer apparatus.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved integrated circuit mixer apparatus wherein precisely-formed circuit elements are located electrically close to the Schottky diode.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved integrated circuit mixer apparatus wherein circuit losses due to parasitic elements are controlled and reduced.
It is still another object of the invention to provide an improved integrated circuit mixer apparatus wherein a slot coupler is utilized to couple an RF and local oscillator signal to the mixer.
It is yet a further object of the invention to provide an improved integrated circuit mixer apparatus wherein an integrated coplanar transmission line provides impedance matching between the input signal and the Schottky diode.
It is still another object of the invention to provide an improved integrated circuit mixer apparatus which is economical to produce and utilizes conventional, currently available components that lend themselves to standard mass production manufacturing techniques.
These and other advantages, objects and features of the invention will become more apparent after considering the following description taken in conjunction with the illustrative embodiment in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the integrated circuit mixer apparatus according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top pictorial view of the integrated circuit mixer apparatus;
FIG. 3 is a top pictorial view of the integrated circuit mixer apparatus enlarged to show greater detail;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the integrated circuit mixer apparatus taken along line A--A' of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a pictorial view, partially in section, of the integrated circuit mixer apparatus mounted in a waveguide horn;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the integrated circuit mixer apparatus in a mixer mounting block; and
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a quasi-optical receiver test set up to perform noise-figure and conversion-loss measurements for the integrated circuit mixer apparatus.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a schematic diagram of the integrated circuit mixer apparatus wherein the input signal which comprises an RF and a local oscillator signal are represented respectively by an RF generator 10 and a local oscillator 12. The local oscillator and RF signals are applied to a slot coupler unit which is shown schematically as Zs in block 14. A coplanar transmission line 16 which has the characteristics of 50 ohms impedance and a length of approximately 0.2 λg as shown in the figure, applies the input signal to the Schottky-barrier diode 18. The cathode of the Schottky diode 18 is directly connected to the IF output terminal 22. A bypass capacitor 20 is connected between the IF output terminal 22 and ground.
In FIG. 2, there is shown a top pictorial view of the integrated circuit mixer apparatus in which the gold ground plane 30 outlines and defines the slot coupler 32. The peripheral bypass capacitor 34 is defined by the outline of one of the plates that form the capacitor. The bonding pad 36 which is the IF output terminal is positioned adjacent to the cathode of the Schottky diode 38. The coplanar transmission line 40 is connected to the anode of the Schottky diode 38.
In FIG. 3, there is shown in enlarged detail the coplanar transmission line 40 which is connected directly to the anode 38a of the Schottky-barrier diode 38. The cathode 38b of the Schottky diode is shown extending from the anode 38a and is also defined by the outline of the buried plate of the peripheral bypass capacitor 34. The ohmic contact pad 36 is shown surrounded by the peripheral bypass capacitor 34. The peripheral bypass capacitor 34 is formed by a first capacitor plate 34a which is buried beneath an insulating layer 42 and a second capacitor plate which is defined in the surface ground plane 30 by the first capacitor plate 34a. The insulating layer 42 extends just beyond the periphery of the first capacitor plate 34a and may extend beneath all portions of the surface ground plane 30. The bonding pad 36 is surrounded by the insulating layer 42 and is connected to the portion of first capacitor plate 34a as defined by the shape of bonding pad 36.
The coupling of millimeter-wave radiation into the mixer diode is a critical aspect of the design of an integrated circuit mixer. It must be performed with low loss by a structure which is electrically small. In the present mixer apparatus, the input radiation (both the RF and local oscillator signals) propagates through the dielectric substrate to a slot coupler which is fabricated photolithographically in a metallic ground plane on the surface of the dielectric substrate. The slot coupler is connected to a Schottky diode by an appropriate section of coplanar line, and a bypass capacitor completes the mixer circuit by providing a short circuit to millimeter-wave frequencies and an open circuit at the IF frequencies. The heart of the integrated-circuit mixer is the Schottky-barrier diode which is formed on material having epitaxial layers of n on n+ -GaAs located upon a dielectric substrate.
There is shown in FIG. 4 a cross sectional view taken through the mixer of FIG. 3 along line A--A' which indicates the main fabrication and topological details of the mixer apparatus. A semi-insulating substrate 50 which may comprise any suitable material such as silicon, gallium arsenide, alumina ceramic, quartz or sapphire. However, in the present example, a substrate of GaAs is provided as a base in which an n+ -GaAs layer 52 is grown. A first capacitor plate 54 is formed in electrical contact with the n+ -GaAs layer 52. A Schottky-barrier diode 56 is formed on the surface of the semi-insulating substrate 50. A region of n-type material 58 is formed between a portion of the Schottky diode 56 and the n+ -GaAs layer 52. A bonding pad 60 is provided on the surface of an in electrical contact with the first capacitor plate 54. A gold ribbon 60a is connected by any suitable conventional means to bonding pad 60. An insulating layer 62 of SiO2 is deposited over the first capacitor plate 54, and a portion of the Schottky diode 56 and may extend over the substrate 50. A gold ground plane 64 is deposited on the insulating layer 62 and over the substrate 50. The coplanar transmission line 66 is formed in the gold ground plane by photolithographic technique and is in electrical contact with the anode portion of the Schottky diode 56.
The integrated circuit mixer apparatus is fabricated in the following manner. A semi-insulating GaAs substrate 50 has an n+ layer 52 formed therein. The n+ layer 52 is approximately 3 μm thick with a carrier concentration of 3×1018 cm-3 while the n layer 58 is 0.1-0.2 μm thick with a concentration 0.8-2×1017 cm-3. The diode ohmic contact region which is the boundary area between the n+ layer 52 and the first capacitor plate 54, is defined on the surface of the n+ -GaAs by etching away and n layer and alloying an evaporated Au-Ge ohmic-contact metallization (first capacitor plate 54) into the n+ layer 52. The Schottky-barrier metallization 56 is a stripe of Ta-Au material which is defined on the surface of the n-GaAs substrate 50 by using optical projection lithography and metallization liftoff. After a layer 62 of SiO2 is deposited over the entire surface and the device areas are protected, proton bombardment is used to isolate the diode conducting area by converting the unprotected epitaxial layers to high-resistivity material. The Schottky-barrier metallization stripe 56 is contacted through an opening in the SiO2 layer with a final overlay circuit metallization that forms the coplanar transmission line 66 and also forms the bypass capacitor (the second capacitor plate 64a) around the periphery of the ohmic contact. The second capacitor plate 64a comprises that portion of the gold ground plane 64 which is defined by the outline (as seen in the top view of FIGS. 2, 3 and labelled 34) of the first capacitor plate 54.
Thinning the GaAs substrate 50 and sawing the wafer to separate the individual integrated mixer modules completes the fabrication. In FIG. 5, there is shown a mixer module 70 which is mounted in a TE10 waveguide horn 72. The module dimensions are chosen to be slightly less than the inside dimensions of TE10 waveguide and the module thickness is chosen to be thin enough to raise any undesired resonance above the frequency range of the mixer operation. This resonance may occur when the width of the GaAs substrate 70a, which is perpendicular to the E-field in the Te10 waveguide 72, is equal to 1.5 λg for a TM surface wave propagating on the GaAs surface when it is positioned inside the rectangular metallic guide 72a.
Although each module is a complete integrated mixer the mixer module 80 is inconveniently small in chip form, and is mounted in a larger structure for use as shown in FIG. 6. The overlay circuit ground-plane metallization on the chip 80 is alloy bonded to a ground-plane metallization 82a on the back surface of a ceramic substrate 82 so that the integrated-circuit metallization as seen in FIG. 2 is accurately positioned over a hole 82b which is drilled through the ceramic substrate 82. One end of a gold ribbon 84 is inserted into the hold 82b in the ceramic substrate 82 and is bonded to the ohmic-contact pad on the mixer 80 and the other end of the ribbon 84 is bonded to a 50 ohm microstrip line 86 which is defined on the front surface of the ceramic substrate 82. The integrated mixer module 80 is located in the end of a standard TE10 waveguide horn 88 which is mounted by any suitable conventional means to a mixer mounting block 90. A bellows spring-contact 92 which is connected to the microstrip line 86 on the ceramic substrate 82, provides an IF output connection to an SMA connector 94. The O-ring spring 96 presses the ceramic substrate ground-plane metallization 88a into intimate contact with the flange surface of the waveguide horn 88 to provide a low-loss RF contact. The mixer mounting block 90 is rugged and mechanically simple. The slot coupler on the back surface of the dielectric couples 88 percent of the power indicent on the dielectric to the Schottky diode and the remaining 12 percent is radiated from the slot coupler through the hole 82b in the ceramic substrate 82 in a widely diverging beam. However, there is shown in position below the hold 82b, an optional quasi-optical spherical reflector 98 which may be utilized to backstop and thereby recover some of the power that is lost. Measurements were made on a frequency-scaled model of the mixer which indicate that a quasi-optical spherical reflector 98 can refocus the power transmitted through the hole 82b back into the slop coupler on the mixer module 80 thereby giving about 1-dB improvement in conversion loss. The quasi-optical reflector 98 is electrically isolated from the RF circuit, is very wide band, and does not exhibit the losses normally associated with a waveguide backshort.
The mixer module provides an impedance match to a TE10 wave propagating in a fundamental waveguide. Therefore, the mixer module can be mounted in a full-height TE10 waveguide and interfaced directly to any conventional waveguide component. For example, a pair of mixer modules mounted on the appropriate ports of a waveguide magic-T with an appropriate IF combining network would produce a balanced mixer. At millimeter wave frequencies (about 94 GHz) and at submillimeter wave frequencies, it would be more appropriate to use a totally monolithic approach in which a semi-insulating dielectric material is used at the support for a surface-oriented diode fabricated on semiconducting layers grown or deposited on the surface of the semi-insulating dielectric. At centimeter wavelengths a hybrid approach combining a discrete diode or diodes attached to an integrated circuit patterned on the dielectric material may be applied. A quasi-optical approach and a single-ended double-sideband (DSC) receiver configuration may be utilized to evaluate the mixer so that the complete receiver can be scaled to higher frequencies, where waveguide techniques are inappropriate. the dielectric substrate to the slot coupler on the back surface. Low-loss beam optics and a quasi-optical diplexer 116 which comprises a mirror 116a and a beamsplitter 116b are used to combine signal and local-oscillator energy into a single beam and an off-axis parabolic mirror 118 is used to focus the beam energy into the waveguide horn 120. The noise measurement is performed by using a calibrated noise tube 122 and ferrite modulator 124 which is attached to a scalar feed horn 126 that is aligned with the focus of another off-axis parabolic mirror 128. Since IF responses from both upper and lower signal sidebands are thus obtained only DSB parameters are measured. Measurement of the system Y-factor as a function of IF noise figure allows precise calculation of both the DSB mixer noise temperature and conversion loss.
Typical parameters obtained for a stripe geometry surface-oriented Schottky-barrier diode in the mixer are zero-bias junction capacitance Cj =5-7 fF, dc series resistance Rs =7 ohms, and ideality factor n=1.10, yielding a zero-bias cutoff frequency in the range of 3200-4500 GHz. The breakdown voltage typically is 10 V. In a surface-oriented diode, the current is constrained even at low frequencies to flow along the surface of the device in the thin epitaxial layers. Thus little redistribution of the current density occurs as the frequency increases and little change in effective series resistance occurs from dc to millimeter-wave frequencies. At 110 GHz, an uncooled DSB noise temperature of 339° K. and mixer conversion loss of 3.8 dB have been measured from an IF frequency of 1.2 GHz. The mixer has an inherently larger RF bandwidth and gives excellent performance over the waveguide band. RF tuning is not necessary. Instantaneous bandwidth is determined by the IF matching network-IF amplifier combination. Scale model results shown that IF bandwidths greater than 6 GHz are obtainable.
Although the invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment, it will be understood to those skilled in the art that the invention is capable of a variety of alternative embodiments within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Beta-Cell Regeneration – Unfortunately, the medical community has yet to harness the diabetes-reversing potential of natural compounds. Whereas expensive stem cell therapies, islet cell transplants, and an array of synthetic drugs in the developmental pipeline are the focus of billions of dollars of research, annually, our kitchen cupboards and backyards may already contain the long sought-after cure for type 1 diabetes. The compounds below have been demonstrated experimentally to regenerate the insulin-producing beta cells, which are destroyed in insulin dependent diabetes, and which once restored, may (at least in theory) restore the health of the patient to the point where they no longer require insulin replacement.

So, you are looking to lose a few pounds, or keep them off. What better way to accomplish this feat than to eliminate both empty sugar calories and synthetic sweeteners, which studies show can generate excessive cravings for sweets and actually increase weight gain.
It may come as a surprise to some, especially those with conventional medical training, but the default state of the body is one of ceaseless regeneration. Without the flame-like persistence of continual cell turnover within the body - life and death ceaselessly intertwined - the miracle of the human body would not exist.

Olympic Agonies
The Winter Olympics -- thanks, mostly, to NBC -- have been a crashing bore. For all the bad ratings they've been getting, even worse have been earned. Now they're talking about how to fix it by breaking what little is left in one piece.

I mean... I guess it was fun while it lasted...
There's pretty much no going back from this P2W console change.
Balance is officially out the window and the demise of PvP has all but been officially endorsed.
So can I expect to see everyone moving onto TOR?
Thankfully I've only got 1 more week left before I'm unable to play due to work for a few months. I'm hoping this last week will be good, because I expect no one to still be here when I come back in May.
iv a feeling they decided to banish the current pvp population :eek:
Let's see what kind of response I get...
wait, there is PvP in STO?! SINCE WHEN?! :rolleyes: (joking, joking)
since i dont PvP much outside of interfleet fun and games when we do, how will this upset the balance? not being a smartass, i actually would like to know- its part of the game mechanics i dont understand. i would think this would be a marginally good thing because of the different things you can do now. but, again, thats why im asking the question.
Jam Sensors is fragile, right? So if an Escort keeps shooting you after they Jam you, you can see them again. Not anymore! Now they can AMS you so you can't see them AND Scramble you at the same time. As an added bonus, no one else can see them either and they can hide some of their allies as well.
oh and they get the speedbost they already have together with the fake out sci console from the rhode.
I think it may be getting close (very close) to the point where we need to say no c-store consoles in arenas, period (Gentlemans agreement Mk II)?
I'm all for it. Would this include the ones restricted to ship class, too? I mean, I'm okay with giving up my Ablative Armor and Multi-Vector Assault Mode if needed, but one could make a good case for keeping Cloak.
I will just go back to RIFT where the devs aren't on mysterious futuristic drugs.

"I hate structure. I want freedom!"
[Hi! if you've landed here this week, I'm playing with my site! this is how I create… sorry if it's confusing… but poke around… or just email me! kelly (at) kellypratt.com!]
But creative entrepreneurs need systems, structure + personal rituals to support their creative lives…
Freedom is not the same thing as "free time." Like a dog with a scent, one thing leads to another and another and another. You look back at the end of your day feeling unfulfilled, even anxious, about how you've spent your time. And, I'm willing to bet, you haven't taken time to create.
Ephem·era noun \i-ˈfe-mər-ə, -ˈfem-rə\ Items of collectible memorabilia that were meant to have only short-term usefulness such as tickets, bookmarks, greeting cards, letters, pamphlets, postcards, or posters.
Ephemera in its physical form is often useful to artists for their creative endeavors. However "mental ephemera" can be extremely distracting. But de-clutter your mind, your personal space and give yourself systems, structure + personal rituals and you'll tame the mental ephemera and you miraculously begin to "find the time" to make your dreams a reality. Really!
Now that's freedom!
You'd hire a personal trainer to help you change your body,
make the same investment in your life.
Does this sounds like you?
You work for yourself, have free time, but still don't find the time to pursue your passion.
You used to love music. Now, you forget to turn it on.
You have too many should-dos and not enough get-to-dos.
You feel anxious when you think of all your little responsibilities, your "mental ephemera."
You don't write in your journal anymore or when you do, it's full of angst and negativity.
You no longer feel the joy of creating.

Noelle returned to show off her perfect body. She was taking a dip in the pool with a very sexy bikini on. The top was pealed off very quickly because she wanted to flaunt her perfect double D's breasts. Girls like her don't come around to often. She has I want to fuck attitude which is the best with a body like hers. Noelle came with it all. Her pussy was so tiny and tight with a nice firm ass that could bounce a silver dollar off of it. She loved to have a dick slide in between her tits. She loved getting her tits fucked just as much as we loved seeing them move around as her pussy got pounded. She is such a good girl at fucking. She continued to lick the cum off her tits after it exploded all over her face.

Earlier today I introduced you to Ruth and Mike the first of our new Boho couples who will be writing for the blog over the next few months. It's now time to introduce you to our second couple Jo and Paddy. Please make them feel welcome.
Joanne Foote & Paddy Smyth
Wedding Date: 12th September 2015
Location: Kingshill barn at Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent – The barn and setting fits in well with our plans of having a relaxed and informal day outside. Paddy is a tree surgeon and landscaper so there will be tree trunks and slices representing him.
Colour Scheme/Theme: blush pink, ivory, navy and mint green
Photographer: Photography by Vicki
How they met
So 12 years ago I was working as a waitress in our local pub – The White Horse in Netley Marsh. One day a new chef came in and it was Paddy!! After not believing that he hadn't met me but my twin sister, he started to make me laugh. We got to know each other that year and after I went away skiing with family and friends for New Year we realised we missed each other, 11 ½ years later the rest is history!!
The proposal
In September 2014 we decided to go away on a nice holiday (we don't get away much!) after taking some time to decide we booked 2 weeks in Mexico, Moon Palace resort in Cancun. It was amazing, OMG we got engaged!! Months leading up to the proposal Paddy had decided he would pop the question sometime soon and asked a friend to make the ring (it's lovely!!) He wasn't quite sure how he was going to ask and a few different ideas came to mind. With Paddy not being the most romantic it has made for a story!! Of all the places in the resort, romantic beach meal for two, sunset stroll along the beach, the list could go on! Paddy decided he would take the ring inside his shorts to the spa for a couple's massage we had planned. After putting on his disposable pants and falling asleep within 60seconds he woke to remember his task! Paddy got down on one knee and put the ring under the head hole of the massage coach, with my eyes closed I didn't manage to see the diamond he was flashing until he poked me in the back. He didn't even manage to ask the question other than 'well then….?' Not being one to presume I asked 'what?' and eventually asking me to marry him, of course I said yes. After he jumped back on the coach he continued to snore for the next hour, whilst I had time to keep peeking at the ring which was now on my finger!
The wedding
As we have been together for 11 years and want a more personal touch to our wedding we decided to arrange to meet a celebrant. Jenny she will be taking our day and going through our story. Although the barn is licensed we feel it will be more interesting for our guests. We have chosen to take the empty barn option meaning we need to light and decorate and as the barn doesn't come with furniture we are deciding on this too. We quite like long wooden tables and chairs/benches, this will keep in with the rustic theme of the day.
We have chosen to have a relaxed BBQ with our close family and friends which will be a day in true Paddy and Jo style. We are currently looking for a singer to bring out a slight summer festival vibe.
Fingers crossed the weather will be good so we can set up an area for lawn games, there is likely to be a large number of children so it will also help keep them entertained. Giant Jenga, corn hole (we call this bag go), hessian sack race, noughts and crosses etc.
After the evening has finished in the barn at midnight most of our friends will be staying on site and Glamping. The venue has agreed a fire pit which will be ready for us to sit around on hay bales and carry on until the birds start singing!!
So far we have aimed to get the larger bits completed and ticked off the ever growing list. With the venue only booked in December we made a rapid start on the rest! Other bits sorted are Wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, DJ, photographer and catering.
We still have plenty to organise with invites next on the list.
Thank you for taking the time to read our first blog, we hope you've enjoyed reading our story and look forward to our entries along the way.

Things are drawing to a close here in Geneva, and soon the lovely concepts and exotic hypercars will be rolled away. Before we packed up, CNET's editors took time out to discuss their favorite cars of the show.
See the new models and concept cars shown off at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
This year's Geneva auto show features a cavalcade of extremely high performance, exotic cars, from the 1,500 horsepower hybrid Koenigsegg Regera to the limited edition Aston Martin Vulcan.
At CES 2015, Toyota announced it would make 5,680 patents related to fuel cell drive systems available as a means to help other automakers build fuel cell cars.
Ford's monstrous, 315-horsepower, AWD hot hatch is coming to the US later this year. But first it rolled out on the show floor at the International Motor Show in Geneva.
Environmental organization EMA sponsors a contest to win Toyota's first production fuel-cell vehicle, at $100 per entry.
Toyota has unveiled plans to sell a clean and green hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle in the US next year. CNET talks with a GM exec about the challenge of competing.
Toyota isn't exactly pricing its first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to move. But it does appear to be price competitive with the Tesla Model S.
In addition to a new hydrogen fuel-cell model coming next year, Honda outlines its plans for new battery and hybrid cars by 2018.
CNET's judges weighed in on the best cars we drove this year, picking the most advanced from an impressive field. In addition, check out the Car Tech 10, our awards for a variety of achievements in the automotive industry.
By reducing energy use in its hybrid cars' power control units, Toyota claims it can increase fuel economy by 10 percent.

Product description
Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic & free.

Get ready to see Harry Potter wearing a lot of short shorts. In a presumed attempt to further his distance from The Boy Who Lived, Daniel Radcliffe is set to play the Olympic athlete Sebastian Coe in the British sports drama Gold, according to Deadline.
The film will follow the rivalry between middle-distance runners Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett leading up to the 1980 Moscow games, where Coe and Ovett both took home gold for the race that the other was favorited to win. (Who else is super excited to see a whole lot of Radcliffe running for victory in tiny shorts while his hair flaps in the wind? Oh... just us then?).
Gold will reunite Radcliffe with James Watkins, who directed the actor in The Woman in Black. Simon Beaufoy (How to Train Your Dragon) will be penning the script that's based on Pat Butcher's book The Perfect Distance.
Filming is expected to begin in the UK and Russia in April 2014.Follow @CaseyRackham Follow @hollywood_com

We were originally looking at hotels for our trip to San Diego, but I randomly came across this property while checking other options....Our trip was so much better because of it! As soon as we walked in the door, we fell in love with the place. It was very clean and well kept, the kitchen was ready for all of our meal adventures (including some baking). Part of the fun of our trip was being able to make so many meals together...saved us a bunch of money, too. My wife really enjoyed the deck areas, great places to lounge around outside, and the neighborhood is quiet enough (except for the occasional plane overhead) that spending time outside isn't a problem.
The location is amazing! Not only is it close to a beautiful beach, but it's also really easy to get to the interstate. Easy access to everything else in San Diego. But no need to go too far because there's plenty to do just in the neighborhood. Be sure to eat at Hodad's (2 blocks away) during your stay.
The management is great, very easy to get a hold of and ready to answer any questions you might have. We highly recommend this place and hope it's available during our next visit.

The location was great. Security was good. Adequate parking; deck area was very nice.
We waren hier nu voor de derde keer , en waren weer erg blij met dit comfortabele ,mooie en schoone vakantie huis .
Het is mooi ruim ,we waren er met vier volwassen en twee kleine kinderen .
Alles wat je nodig hebt is in ruime mate aanwezig ,
De eigenaar was erg behulpzaam , ze bracht meteen een tweede kinderstoel ,toen ze hoorde dat we met twee kleine kinderen waren .
We hebben een prachtige week gehad, mooi weer, prachtig stand en en zelfs walvissen gezien vanaf de pier .
We komen zeker terug .
The location is great! You can hear the waves yet you are not too close to the busy water line. The Orca house has everything we needed for 4 adults and 2 kids from beach toys for the kids to great beds to crash for a good night sleep. Originally we thought to do much more in San Diego, but with the proximity to the beach, the great surf and plenty of dining option, why bother?!
We even saw whales from the pier.
Make sure to checkout the great recommendation in the guest book.
If you come back full of sand or need to a quick rinse - you'll appreciate the outdoor shower.
This is already our second time in the Orca Beach House and we can't wait to plan the next vacation. No reason to pay twice for a room in a huge hotel room when you can stay on the beach. If you are down in San Diego for a conference, the property also has parking.
Make sure to try the fish tacos in the South Beach Bar (walking distance - make sure to have an ID).
Life is a BEACH!

Reviewer Comments:
Delightful. My family rented the Orca Cottage for eight days over Christmas and we could not have been happier with all aspects of our experience. The two bedroom cottage provided us with a nice home to relax and entertain plus the easy stroll to the beach was a dream for this Midwestern family.
Ocean Beach is a small beach town without all of the usual bells and whistles typical of most popular beach towns. It's one of the few places left in San Diego where the shops are locally owned and managed. There is a lot to be said for this funky little beach town, with its collection of antique stores, restaurants, coffee houses, bike & surf shops, musicians, activists, & artists. Located only 7 miles from San Diego Downtown and 2 miles from Sea World it offers easy access to other San Diego attractions.
Payment is usually accepted in the quoted currency (US Dollar) unless the currency and the amount is specifically agreed in advance with the owner / advertiser.

Mobile Tech Trends and Predictions for 2014
During 2013 we were introduced to a range of cool new tech in the mobile space. High resolution 1080p displays made us question whether the smartphone you were holding was sharper looking than real paper, quad-core processors dominated every device, and some smartphone cameras packed more megapixels than a professional DSLR. So what will 2014 bring? Here's our list of predictions for the next year in smartphone and tablet technology...

IMFL athlete # 3006 !
Tuesday - September 24
Got in at 1:30 am this morning, so I slept in. Massage at 11:00. Looks like today will be a rest day. Perhaps a walk and hang up side down this evening.
Saturday - September 21
Did the welcome speech and started the riders on the tour. Drove SAG until 4:30. Quick bite of lunch in town. Again poor nutrition planning on my part. I was starving by noon, no lunch till 5:00.
Then back for the group dinner and 'awards' and door prizes presentation. It all went pretty smoothly. We had a great group of volunteers. Shut it down at about 9:00 and went over to Doug's trailer for a beer.
Awesome Day! Weather was absolutely perfect, clear air and cool for the riders. Everyone came back with all their skin on their bodies! That's the most important thing.
