After gaining a theoretical understanding of the carrier recovery sub-system of a digital receiver, you will simulate the sub-system in MATLAB and implement it on the DSP. The sub-system described is specifically tailored to a non-modulated carrier. A complete implementation will require modifications to the design presented.
The phase-locked loop (PLL) is a
critical component in coherent communications receivers that
is responsible for locking on to the carrier of a received
modulated signal. Ideally, the transmitted carrier frequency
is known exactly and we need only to know its phase to
demodulate correctly. However, due to imperfections at the
transmitter, the actual carrier frequency may be slightly
different from the expected frequency. For example, in the
QPSK transmitter of Digital
Transmitter: Introduction to Quadrature Phase-Shift
Keying, if the digital carrier frequency is
This difference between the expected and actual carrier frequencies can be modeled as a time-varying phase. Provided that the frequency mismatch is small relative to the carrier frequency, the feedback control of an appropriately calibrated PLL can track this time-varying phase, thereby locking on to both the correct frequency and the correct phase.
Numerically controlled oscillator
In a complete coherent receiver implementation, carrier recovery is required since the receiver typically does not know the exact phase and frequency of the transmitted carrier. In an analog system this recovery is often implemented with a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) that allows for precise adjustment of the carrier frequency based on the output of a phase-detecting circuit.
In our digital application, this adjustment is performed with a numerically-controlled oscillator (NCO) (see Figure 1). A simple scheme for implementing an NCO is based on the following re-expression of the carrier sinusoid:
Phase detector
The goal of the PLL is to maintain a demodulating sine and
cosine that match the incoming carrier. Suppose
Loop filter
The estimated phase mismatch estimate is fed to the NCO via a loop filter, often a simple low-pass filter. For this exercise you can use a one-tap IIR filter,
It is suggested that you start by choosing

I'm expecting a close game. Obama has been excellent going forward but a little dodgy at the back. McCain has the form away from home, especially in prisoner-of-war camps but his bench is weak and Palin is a worry. I'll try and stay awake for the result as it will be historic either way, got the beers in and an extra packet of Doritos.
My prediction is Obama 3 - 1 McCain aet.

Game Recap 4/9/11: What the Hell Happened Last Night? - Angels 6, Blue Jays 5
Has anyone figured out what in the world happened last night? I know I sure haven't.
Has anyone figured out what in the world happened last night? I know I sure haven't.
Toronto Blue Jays (5-2) @ Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (3-4)
Pitching Probables: TOR – Brett Cecil (0-1, 5.40 ERA) LAA – Matt Palmer (0-0, -.-- ERA)
Game Info: 6:05 PM PT; TV - KCOP; Radio - KLAA 830 AM
In a surprise announcement last night, Angels have sent Scott Kazmir to the DL with some sort of injury (don't worry about which body part, because it is probably a fake injury) and called up Matt Palmer to take his place for this game. Or will it be longer?
As if the Blue Jays weren't happy enough about trading away Vernon Wells because of his contract, they got a nice cherry on top tonight as the slumping slugger(?) single-handedly short-circuited the Angel offense, leading to the Halo staying unlit for this season's home opener.
Toronto Blue Jays (4-2) @ Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (3-3)
Pitching Probables: TOR – Kyle Drabek (1-0, 1.29 ERA) LAA – Ervin Santana (0-0, 4.05 ERA)
Game Info: 7:05 PM PT; TV - Fox Sports West; Radio - KLAA 830 AM
After a somewhat trying start to the season, the Angels finally get to come home for the first time this season. And it isn't just home cooking the Halos are returning to tonight either as they will also be kicking off their season-long 50th Season celebration.
Operation Gruesome Twosome -The big showdown between former friend and foe, the battle between a team scorned and a longtime rival...Carl Crawford and Adrian Beltre. Once these two roll into town things are gonna get dirty. The Angels are gonna be in some big trouble if these two villains try to come in and throw salt in the Angels' wounds. If we're going to bring shame to those that have wronged them they're going to have to approach the situation with some finesse. The one thing us Angel fans would love as much as going to the playoffs, and possibly the World Series, is getting back at these two. Righting the wrongs done to the Angels is a tall order, good thing I got the gameplan ready to go.
Pictured: Carl Crawford blissfully unaware of the 0-6 waiting for him.
Not to ruin the Free For All fun before it even begins, but I have to interrupt this very important blog post to bring you some breaking news that will impact the future of this very site...
What could it be?
Daily Links for the LA Angels including Downs and Willits begin their rehab, remembering when the Angels first moved to Anaheim, the season boils down to Vernon Wells and much more...

American Christians Believe Church Teachings Contribute to Negative Messages of Gay and Lesbian People
by Anne Breckbill, associate web developer
Our recent show on civility with Evangelical leader Richard Mouw elicited many impassioned responses from our listeners, especially on his comments about homosexuality. Some questioned whether Mouw can truly strike a civil tone and see LGBT people as "a work of art by the God whom I worship" while still condemning homosexuality as a sin and opposing laws that would grant the same rights to same-sex couples as heterosexual couples currently receive.
Last Thursday, the Public Religion Research Institute released findings from a poll showing that two-thirds of Americans see a connection between the negative messages that come out of places of worship and the suicide incidence among LGBT youth. The pie chart above illustrates how Americans view the relationship between negative religious messages about homosexuality and the incidence of gay suicides.
This same poll shows that less than one in five Americans believe churches have done a good job dealing with homosexuality. Who feels that they do the best job in handling this issue? I found those results particularly interesting:
"Of all religious groups, white evangelicals are most likely to give their own church high marks for handling the issue of homosexuality. Three-quarters of white evangelicals give their church an "A" (48%) or "B" (27%). Among white mainline Protestants and Catholics, only about 4-in-10 give their church an "A" or "B." Catholics were most likely to give their churches negative marks, with nearly one-third giving their churches a "D" (15%) or an "F" (16%).

I've been reading "Trust Agents" a new book recently written by Chris Brogan and Julian Smith. The book is about building trust, relationships, being transparent, and making the best of the tools we have to communicate in today's exciting social media era. I came across a blog post today from Jay Baer; called "Can Social Connectivity be Taught? My Thoughts on Trust Agents" Jay hit it right on the head with his statement that these ideas are more about passion for what you do, than trying to be something you are not. I think his Blog post is an excellent read for anyone hungry to learn more about this thing called "Trust Agents"
In my industry of real estate we must meet the needs and expectations of the connected consumer, always be thinking about taking our real estate career to the next level. (Always learning) My goal is to work on building relationships, trust and knowledge with others in my industry and the public. I believe you must be able to differentiate yourself from the competition. The more high-trust relationships you have with real estate agents outside your local marketplace, the more referral opportunities you create. The more high-trust relationships you have the consumer, the more your business expands.
They say technology will never replace the agent, however the agent with technology and good social media skills will. It's about sharing, answering questions, offering suggestions, recognition of others, and just plain "Paying it Forward" What do you think?

Asus Qube with Google TV
New Google TV device imminite
ASUS Qube appears at the FCC | Android Central
FFC application contains User Manual which descripe device as "Smart TV Set Top Box Dongle"
Key tem is "Set Top Box", which is name usally used for Digital TV Tuners that sit under TV usally delivered by TV network (Google finally attacking TV networks?) or IPTV devices, but i would not be supprice if it's really just Google TV, "STB" fits for such device too i rarely see this Google TV device ot be called that way... and it's "WITH Google TV" which is sound like Google TV is actually secundery function... but ok whatever it's defently Google Tv device thats for sure
But this video dungle as people think is because those facts:
-User Manual states this is 2.4GHz device, which means it's most likely WiFi or Bluetooth device or something pseudo, but those technologies are not so good for send loss-less or uncommpressed video data and considering this is for STB device i douth that someone would sucrifice qulity over one short cable
-User Manual states it's 2-way device... well this would not
-User Manual also mentions PAiring Process with "Keyboard" and "Touch Pad" which is common controls for Google TV... which favors Bluetooth here and disfavor any display connectivity
-Meantioned "Nordic" is Semiconductor company that produce 2.4GHz wireless ICs which some include Flash and USB which are suitable for dongles
-Also i can see female connector on device on right top corner, which would mean or this is custom USB or dongle board is divided in to 2 parts (Wireless part and USB port part) or it's dongle for internal connection (i seen such hacks on laptops a lot)
Form those facts so my guess it's STB by default only have IR for Remote (Google TV is made to minimally being operated via d-pad which is common control on remotes now days) and this is Bluetooth dongle allows to connect optional Keyboard and Touch Pad, but it might be just yet another normal Google TV boxLast edited by Shadowriver; 12-01-2012 at 04:48 PM.

Question: "Should pastors be paid a salary?" Answer: A church should definitely provide for the financial needs of its pastor(s) and any other full-time ministers. First Timothy 5:17-18 says, "The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, 'Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain,' and 'The worker deserves his wages.'" First Corinthians 9:14 declares, "In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel." If a church is not able to provide sufficient finances for a pastor, then a pastor would have no other choice but to work outside the church to bring in the needed income. This is a regrettable, but sometimes necessary, situation. It would be best for a pastor to be full-time so he can fully dedicate himself to the Lord's work of ministering to and shepherding the congregation.

iPad Mini Wifi issues
The wifi on my iPad Mini and my brothers is awful! It keeps disconnecting on both of ours. I have an iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3 and an iPhone 4 and none of them have wifi issues. We are both running IOS 6.0.1. If I shut my iPad off I have to manually reconnect it, and if it sits for several hours it will disconnect. Both of us are experiencing the same issues. I love my Mini, but this is driving me nuts. Did we both get bad iPads?? I've reset the wifi settings on our iPads, and I'm now out of ideas.

I had the same problem. Instead of selecting the network from the list, click on "Other..." and enter it manually. This worked for me.

I don't know what you've tried or not but it might be worth checking to see what channels your neighbors are using. Many people end up on channels 1, 6, or 11. I used iStumbler on my MBP and found that most of my neighbors were on the same channel as myself. Changing my channel seemed to increase my speed. While I didn't have the disconnect problem you're having I was seeing some slow speeds. Then again it could just be faulty wifi and you might want to exchange your ipad. Best of luck.

Weird, my apartment has lots of wifi networks around it so conflicting channels is definitely an issue but so far my iPad mini has not dropped wifi signal yet. I would suggest you bring it to your nearest Apple store and have them look at it.

How is the Wifi when you are out and about like at places with Free wifi like fast food places, libraries or downtown? Does the wifi still drop outside the house?

I am at home and right next to my router and it is painfully slow. Is this an issue that most people are having or do some of us just have defective minis? also, will this be fixable with a software update? or am i better off exchanging it when i get the chance?

It drops everywhere, whereas my other iPads won't. I have Wednesday and Thursday off, so I'll return it then. I won't be able to take it to an Apple Store though because the closest one is 4 hours away.

On iOS 6, not patched:
My iPad Mini drops connection when it is asleep per normal. It periodically connects while sleeping to check email and such (alerts do go off while it is asleep). When I wake it, it takes a few seconds but it reconnects without issue. |

The iPad mini is much better finding and keeping Wi-Fi that my iPad 3.

Nov 6, 2012, 07:29 AM | #15 |
I went from the mini to the 4 and the first thing I noticed was how much better the wifi strength was. Places I would lose wifi on the mini I still had a strong signal on the 4.

I think I may have actually found what the issue may be with the iPad Mini as well the iPhone 5. Through rigorous network tests and configuration changes I think I may have pegged this to 802.11n reception issue. I noticed that the networks I would try and connect to would give me "freezing issues"
(I would have full signal but pages would stop loading) I then began fine-tuning the wireless channel only to find temporary relief from the issue. When I finally disabled the wireless n transmission and switched to b & g only I was able to connect with no further issue. I have confirmed this with Apple Airport Extreme, Cisco E4200, Pakedge WAP-W3N. In each case I was able to improve overall wireless connectivity and performance by disabling wireless n radio. Most likely a software bug that I think was helped with 6.0.2 release but not fully taken care of. Pretty sad on apple's part to release unfinished products like this, Q&A is getter pretty bad obviously. |

I lose it lots more on the mini than the 4th gen, especially in B&N, Starbucks, the library, etc. Not so much in my home though as elsewhere.

Combining vetrex and normal ma in GLKit
OK, firstly, I'm still a beginner - especially at openGL - so apologies for any stupid questions or if I've overlooked something simple.
I'm adding a view to my app which loads a 3D model (originally built in blender) that can be rotated, zoomed and panned. I've tried unsuccessfully with a few different methods but here's what I've got so far: - Export .obj model from blender - Converted .obj file to .h using obj2opengl.pl script - substitute the above .h file into Xcode's OpenGL game template and add touch recognisers for arcball rotation etc. Everything works fine except for it only displays a wireframe model. Looking through the code I see default model data used by the template combines vertex and normal data in a single matrix whereas the converted .h file I'm using hold them in two separate matrices - I'm guessing this is the problem and the easiest fix is to combine the data into a single matrix but I find an appropriate command to do such a thing. Is it even possible? The other option is to load the normal data separately but this to escapes me also. Below is the code I'm using for the drawing - cvsaVerts is the vertex matrix and cvsaNormals (not used yet) is the normal matrix. Code:
- (void)setupGL { [EAGLContext setCurrentContext:self.context]; [self loadShaders]; self.effect = [[GLKBaseEffect alloc] init]; self.effect.light0.enabled = GL_TRUE; self.effect.light0.diffuseColor = GLKVector4Make(1.0f, 0.4f, 0.4f, 1.0f); glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); glGenVertexArraysOES(1, &_vertexArray); glBindVertexArrayOES(_vertexArray); glGenBuffers(1, &_vertexBuffer); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, _vertexBuffer); //default data //glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(gCubeVertexData), gCubeVertexData, GL_STATIC_DRAW); //from .h file glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(cvsaVerts), cvsaVerts, GL_STATIC_DRAW); glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLKVertexAttribPosition); glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribPosition, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 24, BUFFER_OFFSET(0)); glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLKVertexAttribNormal); glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribNormal, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 24, BUFFER_OFFSET(12)); glBindVertexArrayOES(0); } |

Jan 10, 2013, 02:57 PM | #2 |
Maybe I'm making things more difficult than it needs to be...
Does anyone know of a good tutorial (or sample) of an .obj loader/model viewer instead? |

The big freeze keeps its grip on UK – AA advice and breakdown update
Low overnight temperatures have again caused problems for the nation's motorists with breakdown workload higher than yesterday, reports the AA.
For the day so far (as at 12:00), the AA has attended around 5,900 call-outs, up from around 5,200 at the same time yesterday. Breakdowns are currently coming in at around 1,300 every hour and the UK's biggest breakdown provider expects to get to around 14,500 for the day (more than 50% busier than normal).
Darron Burness, the AA's Head of Special Operations, says: "With daytime temperatures barely above freezing today, drivers should take extra care, particularly on side roads and in rural areas. If you're planning to go away over the next few days, keep an eye on the weather forecasts, as we could get either rain or snow.
"Either way, take plenty of warm clothing, food, water, de-icer, ice scraper and a fully-charged mobile in case you run into difficulty.
"Before heading off, give yourself enough time to completely clear the car windows of any frost. Remember to free the wiper blades before turning them on, as they can stick to a cold windscreen and you risk burning out the motor and blowing a fuse. Also, ice crystals are sharp and can cut the rubber blades."

Product 9/69
Welcome to Battlemaps Lairs. These products are part of the acclaimed Master Accessories line. Each product features a small monsters lair, usually three or four rooms, that can be easily added to your ongoing campaign. For each product, you get a wonderful overview map and three or four battlemaps for miniature games, detailing each room of the lair. The battlemaps are superb 3d renderings at the stunning resolution of 150 dpi, which allows you to obtain an amazing print quality. For each map, you get also a grayscale-optimized version In addition, Battlemaps Lairs offer you a degree of customization. At the bottom of each color map you will find a checkbox (that will not be printed) that allows you to make the room empty. Thus, if you do not need that sarcophagus in the mummys tomb (perhaps because it doesnt fit in your story) you can easily remove it.
Lair Overview
White Dragon's Lair The ice tunnel comes to an end and you enter in a cold cavern filled with ice, a frozen pool stands just beside you. Suddenly a cloud of frozen air sneaks from behind a stalactite followed by a loud roar The white dragons lair consists of three sequential caverns; in the caverns are scattered stalactites and ice crystals that give an eerie feel to the complex. The first cavern contains a frozen water pool, just beside the entrance. The second chamber is where probably the dragon spends most of its time and contains nothing (if the dragon is out for food) or it may contain the dragons eggs. The third cavern is the most wished by all adventurers: the treasure chamber. Here all kinds of treasures are scattered. Some hints to use the lair follow.
The PCs are hunting for the dragons lair in a solitary mountain. When the party enters the cavern, they find a number of runes encircling the frozen pool. The runes seem to have been erased in some spots. A PC wizard may tell the runes indicate some sort of summoning. In the second cavern, the party finds a frozen corpse of a wizard, already grasping a frozen staff. The wizard attempted to slay the dragon by summoning a powerful ice devil. The devil slaughtered the wizard and killed the dragon but fell prey of a mighty magical item in the treasure vault, which bounded him there; Now, the gelugon is waiting for an opportunity to flee and the PCs may be that opportunity
The PCs are hired by an old man that claim to have a map leading to a treasure cavern of a now dead dragon. The old man leads the PCs to the cavern. When the PCs arrive in the second chamber, they find the frozen remains of an adventuring party. One of the corpses grasps a strange magical item, a small statuette shaped as a white dragon. Once the PCs put the item in a sack, the old man polymorphs in a white dragon. The magical item have the power, if not hidden by something, to repel a white dragon. While the dragon managed to slay the group, the statuette remained in clear view and the wyrm needed someone to cover the magical item on his behalf. Once covered, of course, the dragon has no need of the party

The Best Drugstore Thermal Products to Protect Your Stands From Heat Styling This Winter
If you're going to use one hair product, it should be something to protect your hair from the heat. "Think of it this way: would you ever put makeup on before you properly wash and moisturize your face?" says hairstylist Bridget Brager, who works with Kate Bosworth, Hailee Steinfeld, and Kiernan Shipka. "The ingredients in thermal protectors absorb into the hair shaft to nourish and create a barrier between your hair and hot tools, blow dryers, and even the sun, to prevent damage and give you a better result—it's the first step to healthy hair!"
Using a thermal protection product is especially important in the winter months when most of us blow dry our locks more often. So, which one should you try? Since many drugstore formulas have the same active ingredients as higher ends brands—silicones, sunscreens, and moisturizers—you don't have to break the bank to protect your strands. "It's more about finding the one that gives you the result you want," Brager says. Should you try a serum, spray, or lotion? How do you apply it for the best protection? You'll find these answers, and the best drugstore formulas to try, above.

Remarkably, of the ten times the Indians have made it to the postseason, only once- in 2001- have they not been in first place on June 13, and in 2001 they were just a half-game out. Of course, ten years out of 108 is a pretty small sample size, and what the Indians did in 1920, 1948, or even last year has little to do with the situation in which they find themselves in the here and now. But it isn't exactly cause for optimism. To qualify for the playoffs in 2008, the Indians would have to do something they've never done in over a century of play. Can they do it? For your sakes, I'll leave that to the experts.

One step closer to a complete EU ban on shark finning
Author: Angela Pauly
Date: April 27, 2012While shark finning has technically been banned in the EU since 2003, a number of loopholes remain. Some countries grant special permits that allow fishing vessels to remove shark fins on board, on the basis that they keep both fins and meat and that landed fins do not exceed 5% of the live weight of sharks caught. This ratio is among the most lenient globally, and an additional loophole in the legislation allows fins and carcasses to be landed separately, making monitoring very difficult.

Want to know how this works? Read all about it here.
- Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4, and line the base and sides of a deep 20cm (8 inch) loose-bottomed cake tin with baking parchment. For the crumble topping stir together 2 tbsp each of the sugar, flour and chopped pecans, then add the butter, cut into a few pieces, and rub together until you have sticky crumbs. Set aside.
- Break up the whole eggs with a fork, then mix with the mashed banana, oil and milk until all the wet ingredients are well combined. In a separate, large bowl tip in the remaining sugar, flour and pecans, and briefly stir with the cinnamon and baking powder. Whisk the egg whites until just stiff. To combine, tip the oily banana mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and quickly stir in until you have a smooth, lump-free mix. Finally using a large metal spoon or spatula gently fold in the egg whites, then carefully pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Scatter over the crumble topping and bake for 1 hr, until a skewer stuck in to the middle comes out clean. Check the cake with 15 mins to go, if the surface is browning too quickly cover with another piece of baking parchment.
- Once the cake is ready leave it in its tin for 5 minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, May 2008
Comments, questions and tips
absolutely yummy cake! As others have said, once you get through the rather mish mashy instructions it is simple to make. I also replaced the pecans with mixed nuts and found it to be just as delicious.
I also had to bake it for approx. 15mins longer than the recipe suggested.
Overall though a very tasty cake!!!!
This cake is brilliant, was still lovely and moist the next day. I made it as a gift for my grandparents with a little left over to make cupcakes from. Both went down a storm! Several people saying they haven't used the pecans, however, I think they are a must! Really sealed the deal on the crumble topping.
HUGE THUMBS UP! very easy to make and the result was an incredibly light and very bananary(is that a word!?) cake that I dont think will last very long. the crumble on the top is just amazing and I think I'll use it on other cakes and muffins in the future.
Another top notch recipe from Good Food :)
It's a little bit fussy (I used a host of bowls) and as i didn't read the recipe correctly I had to make double the quantity.. But I'm pleased to report.. this recipe works really well as muffins and a loaf (which i added a whole banana too.. so when you slice you get a bit of banana in the middle!) just adjust the cooking time (or read the recipe correctly in the first place!) I'd highly recommend this recipe and I'll definately be making it again

Definition of cataphor in English:
Line breaks: cata|phorPronunciation: /ˈkɑtəfə
, -fɔː/
Grammar- A word or phrase that refers to or stands for a later word or phrase (e.g. in when they saw Ruth, the men looked slightly abashed, they is used as a cataphor for the men).More example sentences
- The twin problems of unresolved anaphors (such as pronouns, which refer back to words earlier in the text) and cataphors (ambiguous words signaling a term that shows up later in the text) are especially thorny.
- The word 'them' is a cataphor - a reference to a word that occurs later in the sentence.
- A common solution appears to be simply to delete the dangling references from the summary, or, failing that, to pick up the preceding or subsequent sentence from the source text and hope that the anaphor or cataphor is resolved.
late 20th century: back-formation from cataphora.

There is no better way to drain the lifeblood of politics than by claiming that the future is not a matter of choice: that the shape and direction of our societies are predetermined and that, whether or not we like the way things are going, there is nothing we can do about it.
Of course, it is equally absurd to suggest that politicians and the constituents who elect them have an absolute freedom of decision, especially at this late stage of the nation state's decline, when trans-national economic trends often set the tone for national politics.
But the pitch fatalism has reached in the latest political discourses in Southern Europe has exceeded all conceivable limits of pragmatic sobriety. The sense is that the most crucial resolutions on the people's welfare are passed elsewhere, far removed from those who have to live with their consequences.
What we are told is that the capriciousness of world markets, the conjuncture of the global economic events, and the external non-representative and non-elected members of the Troika (composed of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund) hold the power to decide on major national issues. They can now dictate by how much taxes should rise and salaries should fall, to determine a later retirement-age or to impose cuts on national healthcare and welfare systems.
Economic crisis
The choice is framed in apocalyptic tones: either accept the demands of the Troika or fall into sheer chaos, bankruptcy, institutional collapse and the abyss. The decision is between a controlled (and preferably quiet: not too much whining, please!) descent into poverty for a vast majority of the population and a headlong suicidal plunge toward default. Simply put, there is not much of a choice.
A disconcerting naturalisation of the economic crisis lurks in the background of these formulations. The crisis is construed as though it were a natural disaster, similar to an earthquake or a tornado. In this scenario, politicians portray their actions as damage control in the wake of an unavoidable, devastating natural phenomenon. The across-the-board cuts of social programmes, salaries, education, healthcare and so forth can finally be accepted as a fait accompli, the one and only possible response to a brute piece of unalterable reality. Political action is transformed into a mechanical reaction.
"We are currently witnessing how the strategy of fatalistic demotivation can easily backfire on those interested in promoting it and turn into tragic, often violent action against the dictates of Fortuna."
All that is left is for us to bow before the goddess Fortuna and to come to terms with the new role of national governments as the semi-divine mediators between her and the faithful subjects. At least, this must be Mariano Rajoy's fantasy of the Spanish "silent majority", that is, those "responsible" enough to abdicate their political responsibility and not to participate in the massive street protests that have been intensifying of late. For, how much more pleasant and reassuring it is to think that you are listening to the sound of silence when you are, in fact, deaf!
Laughable as it is, the symbolic relegation of sovereignty to fate is nothing new. It has always been the preferred ploy of rulers who wished to convey to those they governed that the final authority did not really rest in them but in something higher: God, the Nation, or other such chimeras. Now, across Southern Europe, that "something" is the ultima ratio of the naturalised crisis, wrapped in the trappings of Fortuna, an inexorable collective fate determined by a new Trinitarian God: the Troika itself.
No doubt, a part of the problem has to do with the general feeling of hopelessness that pervades today's social and political landscape. But the other, more significant side of the story is that the aggressive neoliberal agenda of privatisation and the dismantling of the welfare state proceed no longer in the name of ideology but, presumably, due to the weight of the circumstances that crush us with the non-negotiable force of the real. Where possibility and the future it stands for succumb to the seemingly inexorable demands of reality, the old adage "there is no other way" imperceptibly displaces the utopian "another world is possible".
Collective fatalism
Collective fatalism is not foreign to the outlook of Southern Europeans. In Portugal, for instance, it is not at all uncommon to shrug off the most upsetting events with a brief verdict of melancholy acceptance, "that's life, é a vida". But it is one thing to pronounce this sentence on a small personal misfortune and quite another thing to use it as a basis for (or, at least, as a justification of) a state's fiscal policy and budgetary programmes.
The other, more promising side of Southern European fatalism is a predilection for "the tragic sense of life", as Spanish author Miguel de Unamuno famously put it. The key difference is that, unlike fatalists, tragic heroes do not give up in the face of fate; rather, they act against all odds and knowing full well that Fortuna could undo their efforts.
We are currently witnessing how the strategy of fatalistic demotivation can easily backfire on those interested in promoting it and turn into tragic, often violent action against the dictates of Fortuna. It suffices to recall the protests in Spain, Greece and Portugal over the last few weeks and months to observe this transformation.
Humans are not indifferent beings, which means that something else is boiling just below the surface of their fatalism. Indeed, the extreme despair of having nothing to lose can awaken those who experience it from their torpor. Marx's and Engels's call to the workers, who have nothing to lose but their chains and a world to gain, begins to resonate today for the millions who have been excluded even from the ranks of the working class. An overdose of fatalism can be lethal, in the first place, to the status quo itself.

Does anyone make soaps/bathbombs?
Profile | Posted by | Options | Post Date |
RStar | Report | 12 Jan 2013 19:06 |
I really want to make soap and bath bombs with my daughters but would appreciate some advice on where to buy ingredients (yes I've googled, but so much comes up, I would prefer recommendations). Also does anyone have particular websites that they prefer to use, ie for simple instructions or novel ideas etc etc. I haven't attempted this yet so I want something easy! Thankyou. xx |

You may find it hard to get the citric acid. Chemists tend not to sell it because it is used to cut one of the drugs,heroin I think.Probably best to send the tweediest person you know to get it or they will face the third degree. |

Be careful with the bath bombs. They've been known to explode! Not joking. |

Massage Parlor Girl
May 24th, 2012
It's Kacey Parker's first time at XLGirls.com. Please give her a big hand while she lays the hands on different body parts in Massage Parlor Girl. Tony phones his favorite message parlor for a masseuse with "really strong hands." As in really strong hands to rub down his lifelong friend Johnson. Who else for this job but Kacey Parker! The brunette hottie arrives dressed in white, her fingers ready to play a tune on his instrument. "Let my hands do the talking," Kacey softly tells Tony when she drives over and enters his bedroom. Her 38H-cup bra is very visible though her tight tank top. "Do you want it deep and heavy?" Kacey asks as she lubes up her magic hands. "I'll let you decide," Tony replies. He turns on his back per her request. She starts off on his thighs, sliding her palms forward and back. "I'm here to help you reduce all that tension and stress," Kacey promises. That promise will be kept! Tony pitches a tent pole immediately from Kacey's visit to thighland. Kacey takes off the towel and is impressed. "Wow," she murmurs as she touches his junk. Her duty as a massage parlor girl compels Kacey to bust his stress. A titty cock-massage is first on the menu, and then... Kacey Parker hails from California. "When I was dancing, men were always telling me that I should go to The SCORE Group so I followed their suggestions," Kacey told us. Kacey likes dancing, going to the beach, camping and pulling mean pranks on her friends. Fortunately for Tony, he's going to get a very happy ending, not get pranked! Welcome aboard, Kacey Parker.

The score for the week will be found by subtracting that weeks quota from the point total. For example, in week one, the golfer in the example above with an initial quota of 24 scores 1 birdie (4 pts), 11 pars (22 pts), 4 bogey's (4 pts), and 2 double bogeys (0 pts). His point total would be 30 for that week . . . 4+22+4+0=30. His score for that week would be +6 (30-24= +6).
The quota will be updated weekly. In the example above for the golfer with an initial quota of 24 and a point total of 30 for week one, the quota would be updated to 27 for week two (24 + 30 = 54. 54 divided by 2 weeks played = 27). This process will be repeated each week that the golfer participates. This format makes it very difficult to sandbag because it is an average of ALL scores. Also, this format helps pace of play because once you have a double bogey you can pick up and move to the next hole.
We will be keeping track of point totals and quotas for you and posting it to the website, so just check the website for the updates. We will also send out a weekly email to League participants with updated point totals and quotas.

Much of the group responsible for MTV's The State -- including director/actor David Wain and performers Ken Marino, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Joe Lo Truglio -- reunite for this outrageous, irreverent, and raunchy sketch comedy, which skewers the Ten Commandments.
It seemed harmless and fun, but the affair that Alan (Joseph Fiennes) began with Ella (Gretchen Mol) at the resort where he was working would have deadly consequences.
In Arizona in the late 1800's, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Christian Bale), struggling to survive on his drought-plagued ranch, volunteers to deliver him alive to the "3:10 to Yuma", a train that will take the killer to trial. On the trail, Evans and Wade, each from very different worlds, begin to earn each other's respect. But with Wade's outfit on their trail – and dangers at every turn – the mission soon becomes a violent, impossible journey toward each man's destiny.
Ten stories, each inspired by one of the ten commandments.

Two seasons later, Jimmy is gone — dead at the hands of Nucky, who finally took his would-be protegé's advice."Up until episode 12 of Season 2, we never really saw Nucky pull the trigger.

He's here on two hours sleep, having worked till 4am directing an episode of Nurse Jackie. He plops down, takes one look at the tape recorder ... read more
