"Poor Performance"
Narrator sounds like he's reading from a teleprompter or something; very humdrum and mechanical. The really disappointing thing, though, was all the missing material. He just read the production notes saying that material should be formatted for audio and read at some point, or a chart of something should be inserted here or there, but where are those charts and lists, etc? Other audiobooks that I've purchased have provided links to external sites or non-audio downloadable files on audible.com when non-text is part of the book. Needless to say, I'll be calling Audible about this tomorrow, since I want that material. Didn't want to do it today, since it New Year's Day, but this was supposed to be my big resolution project, and it's not off to a great start. Oh, well, I should know better. The book did contain some information that I didn't already have, but it doesn't hurt to hear a reminder given what I've done with all that fudge and feasting the last couple of weeks. It would have been better to include a few more tips on how to implement some of the changes, rather than just telling us why we should do something.
"Those Pagfordians know how to spread the s*#%"
I've never read any J.K. Rowling, since I don't really like children's literature (or even young adult), but thought her writing might have something to recommend it since so many youngsters rave about her books. Also, as a mystery/thriller fan, I'm usually bored by mere daily-life stories, so really stepped outside the box on this one. It starts with a death and ends with about the saddest funeral scene ever, which are commonplace enough; but what goes on between those pages was amazing. No murderers, but one serious plan and one guy who thought he himself was one. How did J.K. invent a personality like that? Plenty of intrigue, too, so I didn't really miss the mystery.
Plus, Tom Hollander is such a great reader I hardly noticed him at all, which is how it should be. I looked for more books read by him, but guess he's too busy being an actor to narrate much. Figured he must have something else going on, or there would be hundreds I think.
I don't know how J.K. could create a sequel, but will be looking for more like this.
"Professional whats?"
If they could have found a narrator who could make this book sound as silly as it is, it might have been entertaining. Really, Bellerini sounds like he's in mourning, no matter what the action. And those kidnappers would have been slaughtered about twice a day during the story course in any realistic book. They should have just been given a switch that turned them invisible, with uzis, whenever trouble came, and call it a fantasy. Then, there's all that moping by everyone - law enforcement, mobsters and kidnappers - like a bunch of lovesick teenagers. The only reason I rated it so high was that it did have sort of a plot and the action moved along with the road trip, so it could have been worse. Or maybe not. I might just be in a mellow mood.
"Meyer, Seegers, Vance = Golden!"
What an inspired production. Listened to the whole book the day I got it, and it didn't even seem like that long a day. Just about everything that can go wrong, does. And the villains all survive. And usually long chase scenes are such a bore. Guess I'll have to listen to it again to try to figure out why I liked it, because I don't think I should have. Gripping.
"Great plotlines and action"
but I really would have liked more individuation in the voices of the characters. Almost all the dialog was in that whispered conspiratorial tone of voice, no matter which character or the nature of the conversation. I suppose it would be a challenge for any narrator to do justice to such an international caste of characters, but realistically I think most of this dialog would benefit from a more assertive voice.
"Long on rant, short on fact"
The protagonist is clearly unhappy over the way he was marginalized in his fed job, but the story of how he redeemed himself leaves a lot to be desired if you're looking for a good spy read. His motivations are clear enough, but those of the villain are not always. It doesn't make sense for him to detour and risk his operation to murder people he'd known 30 years before, with whom he seemed to have had a cordial enough relationship, though it did give a clue to the protagonist as to who was behind the terrorist plot. I think the author could have tried to develop a more reasonable backstory for that clue. But then, too, there's the question about whether the terrorist truck drivers wouldn't have heard the CB and talk radio broadcasts and alerted the villain in time to salvage his operation. This plot is too simplistic for spy novel enthusiasts, though probably a fun read for trucker fans.
"Too much of nothing"
About the best thing I can say about this book is that if you're fighting insomnia, you can plug in your earbuds and let it talk you to sleep (and it will) for at least 6 hours without missing anything important. It's not that the author is a poor writer; she does a very nice job of describing all the furniture of every place the heroine visits, every ingredient of everything she eats, every sensation she experiences. Further, she seems terribly naive and inexperienced for someone who is supposed to be a powerful, adult witch. I thought this story might at least be a fun read, but it's not, so no reason to suffer though the rest of it.
"Spies and Nazis and castles (oh my)"
This book has it all, and, though I thought it would feel a bit creepy reading about the adventures of a police detective in 1941 Berlin (and it does), still, the plot is gripping and the story held my interest. The characters are all complicated; not pleasant, but definitely not boring. None is really likeable, but I've learned to like Bernie Gunther nonetheless. He tries to do the right thing, but has a lot for an alcohol-muddled brain to handle. This is only the second book I've had from this series, but I think I've become a fan.
"Thoroughly enjoyable"
I really enjoyed all the clever quips and turns of phrase, which I hadn't noticed so much in the other two Mallory books that I've "read," possibly because Laural Merlington has just the right light touch in her reading to accentuate them, while those (Find Me and The Chalk Girl) were read by other people. Her portrayal of Mallory makes her a much more sympathetic character than she seemed in the other two books, though of course still pretty rough for a young woman. I've known girls who were almost that wild, though, so only had to stretch my "suspension of reality" a little. This is one book that I'll definitely listen to again sometime, probably even before I forget all the details. I thought it was fantastic.
"Deep nastiness"
I'm not sure I will listen to this book again, since the characters are so evil and the life of Carl Morck is such a downer I can't really say that reading it is a pleasurable experience. In fact, after the first book, I didn't think I wanted to tough out another one, but now I can't wait for the next book to come out. It looks like, based on the pace of producing the first two, maybe it will be another year? I've marked my calendar, Audible.
I think Jussi Adler-Olsen has a unique style, so the only comparable book would be Keeper of Lost Causes. His depiction of villains is uncompromising; nothing comic or in any way redeeming or even distracting. Of course, in this book one of the villains saves the day in the end, but that was really kind of an accident. He doesn't let anyone off the hook.
Steven Pacey did well enough that I didn't really have to pay any attention to him. I'd say he did a solid professional job
Everything that happened in that menagerie made me want to throw up. I would prefer that authors confine themselves to human victims, since humans at least have some hope of control, and have laws to protect them as well. I would prefer that animals and small children be off limits, but it's not like your overgrown schoolyard bully is going to pick on anyone that can defend him/her/itself, so I guess we just have to accept the realism of the plot.

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Moving dials
At the front the G1 X gets a deeper, texturised handgrip that feels comfortable and safe, and loses the built-in flash window, now replaced by a pop-up flash unit located on the top plate, where the exposure compensation used to be. Having made space for the flash, the top plate loses the ISO dial around the mode dial, which is swapped for the exposure compensation dial.
The new pop-up flash means a rejig of controls on the top plate
The ISO control is relocated to the back – as the up button of the four-way controller – necessitating a three step process to change settings: a far cry from the G12's instantaneous ISO dial. The rear of the two models remains very similar, with the G1 X acquiring a direct movie-recording button instead of the asterix aperture/shutter speed button of the G12.
The vary-angle LCD screen – tiltable 180 degrees forward and 90 backwards – and the viewfinder also see an improvement compared to the G12. The LCD screen is 0.2 inches larger and has twice the definition of its elder sibling while the viewfinder slightly expands in size and coverage – around 80% - despite remaining nothing more than an emergency tool for composition, not least because part of the image is physically blocked by the lens.
Interchangeable lenses? Meh
The menu layout and operation of the camera is virtually the same of other Powershots with the Func/Set button calling up a quick and well organised set of on-screen menus to change the parameters of the most frequently used functions. The G1 X features an unusually high level of customisation for a compact. Not only can the front and rear dial swap their aperture/shutter speed function but in semi-manual and automatic modes they can be assigned to a number of user-defined functions.
Other custom options include a Shortcut button that can be assigned to virtually any setting, a MyMenu option and two custom modes on the mode dial.
The new sensor size, pixel density and resolution of the G1 X deliver by far the best image quality seen in a compact. Colours are consistent and natural and there is plenty of detail resolution. Another useful by-product of the larger sensor size is the ability to produce shallower depth of field results, with great benefits for portrait and still life.
The G1 X's metering and White Balance systems greatly impressed me, as I saw the camera handling even the trickiest of lighting with commendable accuracy. ISO and low-light performance are first class too. Images are virtually noise-free all the way to ISO 3200 with some well-controlled deterioration thereafter – a better claim than some DSLRs.

Re: "Once the novelty of an interchangeable lens compact has worn off"
I think that either you missed the poin that the author was trying to make, or I missed your point :)
I have a 5D, and three Sigma EXDG lenses for various uses, as my main camera and I am really very happy with it.
But... I go on special trips with it, or I set it up for photo shoots at home. It is not something that I can carry arround with me constantly.
Compact cameras on the other hand can be carried around with me, but the quality of the sensors is terrible. Good for web use or snaps but when you get up to poster sized prints you start to see too many artifacts (for me anyway - these things are subjective). And of course you have no control over the shot - it's point and click, exactly what it was designed for - and what my other half likes about their camera.
The new range of CSC provide a nice inbetween step. Small enough to be caried, versatile enough to make some nice shots. Well some of them at least (the Sony NEX range with their larger sensors look interesting, as does the Panasonic range. The Nikon on the other hand produces the same artifacts as the standard compact camera from the shots I have seen as it also uses an extremely small sensor).
But... Do you need the hassle of interchangable lenses on the CSC ranges in order to get the control or quality? If I can get a handbag sized camera with a good lens, sensor and manual controls do I care that I only have the one that it came with? 120mm seems a little short for some of the shots I like to take, but I wonder if I couldlive with it...
Re: "Once the novelty of an interchangeable lens compact has worn off"
Based on anecdotal evidence (ie friends who have bought them), I think the G-series is largely sold to people who like taking pictures and want to do it "more seriously" but are scared off buying a DSLR by the perceived "complexity" (or to some extent the cost). This is in contrast to EVIL which tends to be bought by people who would have bought a DSLR before EVIL existed but prefer the form-factor. That is a market which Canon does not serve at present.
I do agree about the S-series though. Awesome cameras - true compacts but with full exposure control and the ability to shoot RAW. The sensor size means quality will never be as good as a DSLR but then a DSLR will never be as good as medium format for the same reason - photography is always about compromises.
As a recent CSC purchaser...
...I say No to the final question in the article. One big reason is that compacts with the quality of CSCs seem to be more expensive than the CSCs for some reason. Also, even as a beginner, being able to select a brighter pancake lens instead of the zoom means I can take photos I wouldn't otherwise be able to.
As ever, it's horses for courses and I suspect that the (no longer very) new formats will at the very least force manufacturers to think more creatively about what they offer customers.

Pakistan came into being on Aug. 14, 1947, following the long struggle of its people to break away from Britain. For half of Pakistans 65 years, it was ruled by the military. The elections this week mark the first time in the history of the country that peaceful transfer of power from one civilian government to another will be taking place.
The United States is stuck in something of a Cold War right now. It is trapped between idealism and practicality. Tensions between Israel and the rest of the Middle East, especially Iran, are almost at a breaking point.

So, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has investigated the IRS investigation of conservative groups. And the FBI has launched a criminal investigation of the IRS.
When Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell was put on trial for murder, activists seized on the case as a symbol of all that is wrong with abortion in America, and used it to call for tighter restrictions and stepped-up oversight.

U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell continued his defense for the embattled coal industry in Kentucky and other states as he built support for his Coal Jobs Protection Act, through which he intends to curb the Environmental Protection Agencys complication of the permitting process for coal-mining.
Well, this is a fine mess. After years of moaning about various "conspiracies" against them, conservative activists finally have a real (i.e., not manufactured by Fox or inflated by Rush Limbaugh) piece of evidence to take before the court of public opinion.
At a time when Congress cant pass a budget and the president cant win approval of any important legislation, the public is indignant about the threat of an overreaching, all-powerful federal government that uses the IRS and the Justice Department to harass its enemies.
Sputtering adjectives outrageous, appalling, intolerable can scarcely do justice to the fiasco involving the Internal Revenue Service's reported targeting of conservative groups.

Nearly a year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court reminded us of something that we all know and understand: Age matters. Children are immature and irresponsible. They do not appreciate the risks and consequences of their behavior.

On the 25th anniversary of the Kentucky school bus tragedy of May 14, 1988, I appreciate this opportunity to inform the public, the surviving victims and all the families who lost a loved one of many key elements that transpired.
Several days ago, we printed a really good piece by Lane Filler of Newsday, headlined "The case for not giving up."

In some cases, the fog of war is initially thick, then dissipates. Following the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attacks that killed four Americans including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, the facts were initially clear. The fog was a later addition.
They summoned a whistle-blower to Capitol Hill, but instead they got a virtuoso storyteller. Gregory Hicks, the No. 2 U.S. diplomat in Libya the night Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed, was to be the star witness for Rep.

When the news broke about the three women held hostage in Cleveland for a decade and set free Monday, the revulsion and anger I felt were so strong that, emotionally, it seemed I was learning of a tragedy.
We are reeling in Cleveland.

Without question, Charles Ramsey is a character. The Ohio man who rescued Amanda Berry from years of captivity gave an epic television interview on Tuesday in which he delivered what is surely one of the most brilliant lines ever uttered on national television: Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black mans arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway.

World AIDS Day is December 1. Are you between the ages of 13 and 29? Are you the parent of a teen or young adult? Are you a woman over age 50? Do you or have you had unprotected sex? Have you had a piercing or a tattoo?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are, or someone close to you is, at risk for contracting HIV/AIDS. Most of us may not think we are vulnerable, but HIV/AIDS is still a major health threat. Scientists are closer to a cure, but they're not there yet. Read more

"Are you a woman over age 50?"
Why a woman and not a man over 50?
1:18 pm on Wednesday, November 21, 2012
What evidence do we have that "scientists" haven't found a cure for AIDS, much less cancer?
Think of the billions of dollars potentially lost by the health care industry if cures for these diseases were in fact "found." It gives them great incentive to not "find" a cure.
But of course they're given billions of dollars in grants to research cures, so they make out regardless.

Sun Cellular expanding its network coverage in the Mindanao area is a sign that the region is a significant area for development. Sun Cellular have seen the potential growth of Mindanao when it comes to business development. Mindanao is also a good place to market innovated products such as Sun Cellular's call and text unlimited products.
People are wiser nowadays, we want or need to stay in touch with our loved ones and business partners without spending too much. Sun Cellular knows what the people want, thus making such services offered to their subscribers (P250 per month postpaid subscription). They are not just offering promos of unlimited text and calls but they are also improving their signal strength on key areas in Mindanao and also to those places where there are poor or no signal strength. This is to provide its subscribers wider network coverage and more reliable services especially in key areas in the region such as Davao, General Santos, and Cagayan de Oro.
Network subscribers in the country already knows that Sun Cellular is the best value when it comes to services, but most people opt to acquire services from other networks because their business partners, families and friends are subscribed to other networks. But, that is not a problem anymore because Sun Cellular is now a member of the PLDT Group. That means Sun Cellular is connected to other networks like Smart and Talk N' Text and other PLDT group member networks, interconnecting charges has already been eliminated making call and text charges super affordable. This move of Sun Cellular to join other networks is a good move to invite more subscribers to their networks.
Sun Cellular Chief Operating Officer Charles Lim says they will be strengthening their network coverage in areas of Mindanao to include Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Camiguin, Zamboanga, Tawi-Tawi, Dinagat Island, Compostela Valley, Sulu, parts of Bukidnon, Cagayan de Oro and Davao del Sur among others . "The demand for our best-value products and services in Mindanao is immense, hence we prioritized this region in the initial phase of our network enhancement program for 2012," he explained.
Lim added, "Sun is improving its signal strength in Mindanao to provide its subscribers wider network coverage and more reliable service especially in key areas in the region such as Davao, General Santos, and Cagayan de Oro. We want those in Mindanao to optimize their experience of our unlimited call and text service, as well as the value-for money bucket load and postpaid plans that Sun has been providing its subscribers nationwide."
Sun Cellular has been known for its best value product offering such as the Text Unlimited 150 which allows customers to text other Sun subscribers unlimited for 30 days and the Text Unlimited 200 which also includes 500 texts to other networks aside from the 30-day unlimited Sun-to-Sun texts. "Mindanao is an important market for us. Local and national officials from the region have been sending us letters on behalf of their constituents and we'd just like to say we have heeded their call ," Lim enthused.

Sun Cellular Launches New Postpaid Plan 250
Following its intensified network expansion program, Sun Cellular launched its first salvo of new and better value postpaid plans, the Postpaid Plan 250 initially available in Mindanao.
"Given the immense demand for Sun Cellular"s best-value services in Mindanao, we have specifically chosen the region as our pilot area for this subscription plan offering," says Ricky Pena, Senior Vice President for Postpaid and New Business.
For only Php250.00 per month, subscribers to this new postpaid plan includes unlimited Sun-to-Sun texts, four hours of Sun-to-Sun calls, 500 texts to other networks plus a free Samsung E1080 phone. This plan is perfect for those who want to enjoy unlimited texting and still be able to call their friends and loved ones from time to time. Also with the generous allocation of texts to other networks, this plan will also attract those who want to stay in touch but do not want to spend too much.
Sun Cellular has been the preferred choice of over 50% of new postpaid plan subscribers for the past 5 years. Its postpaid subscriber base continues to grow steadily increasing by more than 30% year over year in January of 2012 versus the same period last year.
"This 2012, we are focusing on boosting our network signal strength by augmenting and optimizing our existing cell sites, and taking advantage of synergies with our sister companies in the PLDT Group. Our extensive network strengthening campaign will be complimented with products that best suit the needs of the locals in the areas we are expanding to," Pena revealed.
Pena also expressed his confidence on the widened coverage in Mindanao. "As we move to further establishing a more extensive network, our subscribers in Mindanao may now enjoy our best-value postpaid plans in areas where before we were not present," he adds. "This will also benefit customers in other areas outside Mindanao as they can now get in touch with their family and other loved ones in the new areas we are now in using their Sun Cellular lines."
The first wave of these network enhancement efforts are now being felt in the areas of Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Camiguin, Zamboanga, Tawi-Tawi, Dinagat Island, Compostella Valley, Sulu, Bukidnon, Cagayan de Oro, Davao del Sur, among others.
Sun Cellular is a member of the PLDT Group.

Most Vermonters want wind power
In response to Two senators want to halt wind projects:
Recent calls for a moratorium on wind power production are highly misguided and sorely misrepresent the ideals of nearly 70 percent of Vermonters.
The effort to suspend new wind power production, led by Sens. Robert Hartwell and Joe Benning, represents only a small but vocal minority of Vermonters.
By taking up the effort to stop wind power production, Sen. Hartwell and Sen. Benning are acting against Vermont citizens interest, going directly against what they promise theyd do when officially sworn into office.
The reasons why Vermonters support wind power are clear.
Beyond being the responsible thing to do, wind power invests in long-term jobs in Vermont, has boosted our state economy, and is helping to move farther away from dirty and dangerous sources of energy.
A moratorium on one of the most benign sources of renewable energy available right here in Vermont is a crippling move that undermines decades of progress.

1. | Firework | ||
When sitting with a girl, a man asks her if she likes fireworks. He then holds out one finger and has her touch it. He spins his finger around like a firework going up in the air while making sound effects, and lands around her shoulder. Right before his hand lands on her shoulder, the firework explodes, and he punches her in the side of the face, forcing her head down into his crotch. Bonus points are scored if pants are off, and she lands on your dick. While I was sitting with Casey, I took my pants off while under the blanket, and she had no idea. I then fireworked her, and she landed right on my dick. It was the best head she ever gave me!
2. | Firework | ||
Firework is a hit song from Katy Perry's 2nd major-label album "Teenage Dream". Unlike her past work Firework appears to be a very meaningful song, when actually it's a stunt used by her and and her producers.

Background information and pricing for Mercury's 2005 Gramd Marquis full-size family sedan. Includes a break down of the auto's standard and optional features by trim level.
A brief history and description of the 2006 Murcury Monterey SUV. Includes a breakdown of both standard and optional features for all 3 trim levels: the Convenience, Luxury, and Premier.
The 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser has managed to update some of its safety features for 2007 and a few options that are new. The large SUV underwent several cosmetic upgrades in 2006 and the basic design of the vehicle remains the same for 2007. The Toyota Land Cruiser is Toyota's most-expensive SUV model and is considered a large SUV even though it is slightly smaller than the Toyota Sequoia. The Land Cruiser comes in one model and trim which is a 4-door four wheel drive.
The 2007 Toyota Yaris is similar to the 2006 version. In fact Toyota began selling the Yaris in 2006 as a 2007 model. The vehicle is Toyota's most-compact car available in the United States. It replaced Toyota's Echo. It is a vehicle available in a four-door sedan or hatchback. It is known for being compact, reliable, extremely affordable and fuel efficient.
The 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid is a slightly more expensive hybrid when compared to the Toyota Prius and the Civic Hybrid. It is a sedan that seats four comfortably and is known for being harder to spot than other hybrids. Except for some differing grille work the Hybrid Accord is not much different than the standard Accord. There is little change between the 2006 and 2007 models.
The 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid was rolled out by the company in 2006 and was billed as a much more fuel efficient vehicle than previously available from Honda. The Civic Hybrid can get up to 49 miles to the gallon in city driving and 51 miles for highway driving. For the 2007 version the car now has XM Satellite radio standard when the navigation system option is purchased but is little changed from 2006.
Background, specifications, and standard and optional features for all trim levels (base and Limited) of the 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Also a description of how Toyota's Hybrid technology works.
A brief background, specifications, and standard and optional features for the 2006 Volvo XC70. The solitary trim level features standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD.)
Background information, features, pricing, and specifications for the 2006 Honda Accord mid-size sedan, often considered the top choice for reliable transportation.
Specifications and standard and optional features for the 2006 Volvo V70. Both trim levels-2.4 and 2.5T-are discussed.

Design Article
Automotive ultrasonic ranging: Increasing gain may not improve detection distance
Arun T. Vemuri, Texas Instruments
One application for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in a passenger car is ultrasonic-based distance ranging. Ultrasonic sound wave time-of-flight (TOF) is used to calculate distances to objects to assist the driver in parking the car, identifying parking spots, or detecting objects in the driver's blind spot.
In ultrasonic-based ADAS, piezoelectric transducers typically are used to convert the ultrasonic waves into electrical signals. The receiver sensitivity of piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers usually is small, resulting in very small voltages. Figure 1, below, shows a typical signal chain used to process the echo voltage. (For an example of an integrated automotive ultrasonic signal conditioner for automotive park assist systems, see TI's PGA450-Q1)
Figure 1: Using ultrasonic-based echo processing to detect objects deals with noise—both external (shown) and internal.
This echo signal, which is an AM signal, is corrupted with noise. The noise in Figure 1 is input-referred noise and is the sum of noise from external environment and from all components in the signal chain. This corrupted signal is then amplified by an amplifier with gain K. The amplified signal is digitized using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The digitized AM signal is bandpass-filtered.
The bandpass filter (BPF) primarily is used to improve the signal's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The filtered signal level is compared against a threshold, L, to detect the presence of an object. Bandpass filters typically are followed by an amplitude demodulator. However, for the purpose of this article, the demodulator is not relevant.
Threshold analysis
Next: Observations
Did I miss something - like how do you make it better.
A bigger TX signal is about the best method.
Tim Orr
There are other ways too.
As an example, consider process gain achieved by coded signals. That's used in GPS signals to give many dB of gain and noise rejection.
Just yelling louder doesn't help. Remember there are many vehicles out there and if they're all yelling, you still end up not hearing properly.
Arun V
Agreed and that is the point of this article. A stronger echo (i.e., yelling louder) or large gain in the signal chain may not help detect objects at longer distance. One has to address the noise aspects also to detect objects at longer distances.
The minimum detectable signal (MDS) determines the maximum range, and the MDS in turn is determined by the signal to noise ratio,(SNR). Of course the most obvious way to raise the SNR is to increase the transmitted signal. Unfortunately there are often a number of challenges to that approach. Of course there are quite a fewq other ways, but they are mostly not simple and not cheap, and sometimes they don't work very fast, either. Of course, speed is always relative, so it may be that they work fast enough.
Arun V
Agreed that this is a challenge. To your point, one has to consider many aspects and not just the gain of the signal chain to improve MDS.
This is the same in almost all kind of signal chain processing, increasing gain sometimes won't help if the noise in front of the gain stage (including the noise from the amplifier itself) is dominating.

Located Near
Mayakovskaya/Pl. VostaniyaThis area is the heart of the city with Nevsky Prospect, St. Petersburg´s main thoroughfare running nearby. The main railroad station ÂÂ- Moskovsky Station - is located in this area, so it is a very convenient place to stay in for travellers. The area is short walking distance from many of the cityÂÂ's major attractions: the Hermitage Museum, the Russian Museum, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, as well as many others. There are many interesting architectural sites in this area. Take a walk and have a look at the various facades of many of the old buildings that date back to the XIXth century. Many of the cityÂÂ's businesses are located in this area as are numerous restaurants and stores. If you are in the city during the White Nights season, between mid May and mid August, do not miss a chance to stroll along the embankment and watch the bridges across the Neva rise. It is really a spectacular site that you will never forget.

A few niggles during my ownership from new in 2004 - nothing that I would not likely have encountered with another vehicle, but the current problem is frustrating - the car is off road because there are no spare parts available! It is apparently known that the wiring loom can be problematic because it travels through the rocker cover i.e. is in oil ... unusual? Over time the loom has broken down, oil entered and reached the EMU, car misfires. No problem, my 3rd party warranty will pay (Land Rover's would not have covered this - beware!) so I authorised the work on 19th December 2008. So far, the parts were unavailable on the 2nd Jan, now the 10th has been put back with a possible delivery of 10th Feb' 2009. I have sympathy for my main dealer; they cannot get the parts and in turn cannot work on my car, return it to me and be paid. I'm in the dealer's courtesy 2-wheel drive, no traction control etc. tidily Skoda - acceptable for a week or so but is now (particularly in the current climate) beyond a joke - no surprise the dealership does not sign-write the car as a courtesy vehicle! I will not be given a 'product car' because there are none available (presumably they are with other 'victims' who are awaiting parts, plus the dealer appears concerned about just how long I will be in their car ... hardly encouraging! I'm not in a Land Rover through no fault of my own ... other than buying a Land Rover (for the past 10+ years). Time to write to the company directors ...
Awful package placed over supposedly great drive train. The additional bad news is that the drive train isn't great either. There are easier gear changes on a Morris Minor.
Buttons, storage etc are placed in the cabin as if by someone with a bindfold and the Austin Allegro parts bin. It's best to put the ignition key in before stepping into the vehicle unless you have an extra joint in your arm. A few ex Rover drivers swear by them. Normal folk just swear.
Surpriringly didn't break down.... pity.
Most enjoyable part of ownership is selling it.
My second Discovery V8, after a '91 3.5, now used as an offroad toy.
Yes - the V8's thirsty, but as another reviewer mentioned - if fuel economy is your primary concern, go buy a diesel hatchback!
With LPG being much cheaper than unleaded, I average the "equivalent" of 32mpg, and nearly 40mpg (equiv) on the occasional gentle cruise - for a two-ton plus 4x4 that's impressive. DVLA class the car as "alternative fuel" rather than "bi-fuel" so I escape the worst of the "green" road tax hikes.
Comparing the accelaration/handling/braking to a "normal" car is pointless. I'd trade all for the excellent all-round visibility! That said, if you don't mind the fuel bills, the V8 will push the car along at illegal speeds, and ACE means that she stays flat through corners too :-)
Every Disco 2 I've driven (TD5 and V8) has a similar feel to the brakes - even the dealers say "they all do that"... I'll be flushing the brake system completely when I change the discs and pads, so maybe that will help, as the current fluid is two years old...
Aside from service items, in two years I've replaced: rear suspension compressor (£130 for a new one off ebay!) aircon compressor (£300 - due to a failed electronic clutch). I've experienced none of the woes that other reviewers have mentioned, and I'm pleased with the reliability, given that my Disco can be daily commuter, tow car, van, MPV...
This is our second Discovery ES V8. It's a very well equipped car. It likes petrol, but that was to be expected.
Overall, it's been reliable, and has never broke down. It has had a couple of problems but only what you would expect at 47,000 miles.
Overall, I would recommend it.

AUSTIN -- The boards of three regional Planned Parenthood branches -- North Texas, Central Texas and the Capital Region -- will vote today on a proposed merger designed to form a $29 million-per-year mega-organization with 26 clinics up and down the Interstate 35 corridor.
The merger vote, in the works for more than a year, is expected to create Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, the eighth-largest affiliate of the nation's most ubiquitous reproductive health and abortion provider.
"The timing is right, in terms of looking ahead at the challenges we will face politically, and from a health care standpoint," said Leslie MacLean, board chairwoman of Planned Parenthood of North Texas. "We felt like it was an obligation to look at all of the options to make us smarter and more efficient."
It's estimated that the new regional affiliate, covering 58,000 square miles from Austin to Denton and Fort Worth to Tyler, would serve 120,000 patients in 2013. It would provide birth control for 103,000 people and perform an estimated 8,500 abortions per year, in addition to screening tens of thousands of people for breast and cervical cancers and sexually transmitted infections.
Amid legislative funding cuts and Republican lawmakers set on forcing Planned Parenthood out of Texas, the goal is to make the regional partners more efficient and streamlined, the merger's advocates say. (Following the budget cuts of the last legislative session, the three Planned Parenthood branches in merger talks watched their annual state family-planning funding drop from more than $5 million combined to nothing. Several clinics were forced to close.)
The result, they hope, will be an organization that has deeper pockets -- and even more political influence.
"By defunding family planning, the governor and Republican lawmakers are not only hurting the women Planned Parenthood serves. They're hurting women across the state," said Ken Lambrecht, who heads Planned Parenthood of North Texas, and would be president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas starting in September under the proposed merger. "We hope this will enable us to be a stronger voice for all of those women."
Catherine Frazier, a spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Perry, said Planned Parenthood's "sense of entitlement to our tax dollars" is misguided.
"If you are in the business of providing or promoting abortions, then Governor Perry doesn't think we should be in the business of funding your efforts," she said.

text: The United States dollar (sign: $; code: USD; also abbreviated US$), also referred to as the American dollar, is the official currency of the United States of America. It is divided into 100 smaller units called cents or pennies. The U.S. dollar is the currency most used in international transactions and is one of the world's reserve currencies. Several countries use it as their official currency and in many others it is the de facto currency,. It is also used as the sole currency in some British Overseas Territories (British Virgin Islands and Turks and Caicos). The Constitution of the United States of America provides that the United States Congress shall have the power "To coin Money". Laws implementing this power are currently codified in Section 5112 of Title 31 of the United States Code. Section 5112 prescribes the forms in which the United States dollars shall be issued. Those coins are both designated in Section 5112 as "legal tender" in payment of debts. The Sacagawea dollar is one example of the copper alloy dollar. The pure silver dollar is known as the American Silver Eagle. Section 5112 also provides for the minting and issuance of other coins, which have values
