Not only have the rain gauges gone up over the past couple of days, but so has business for some local repair companies.
Local roofers say, as rain amounts increase, so do the number of repairs.
Darrell Cline has a leaky roof.
"Tuesday when it was really, really, I think I got about three inches here and it was really starting to come in pretty good, so I just decided, 'Hey, it's time to get something done,'" says Cline.
Days and days of hard rain can make problems more noticeable.
"I mean, I don't notice too much when it's just a slow drizzle or something, but yeah, the hard rains," says Cline.
However, the fix is underway, and James Groff with Valley Roofing says they've had lots of calls from people like Cline, needing their leaky roofs fixed.
"Well heavier rain does expose issues that may not leak on a regular roof. And so maybe there's a spot that's not going to leak and you get a whole lot of water, it makes things different," says Groff.
Handling all of these jobs gets tough when rain continues on and off for days.
"Well it limits the amount of work we can get done, but it also puts a lot more stress on the roof of the house and things can kind of build up and cause more problems," explains Groff.
He says, while this is great for business, it does plug them up a little bit.
"We have some jobs scheduled in, so all the sudden we've got to push that stuff around and make this emergency stuff work," says Groff.
Some roofing companies say they're also seeing an increase in business because the economy is improving, so people are more willing to fix or replace their roof.

Eddie Cibrian Says Rumors of LeAnn Rimes Affair are Lies; Video Kind of Clearly Shows Otherwiseby Free Britney at . Comments
Amid reports that he is sleeping with LeAnn Rimes, his married Northern Lights co-star, the married Eddie Cibrian issued a statement to clear the air.
"It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship," the recent Ugly Betty guest star said (ironically, his character, Coach Diaz, was also having an affair on the show).
A friend of LeAnn Rimes also says that the country star, 26, and Cibrian, 35 – who is married to model Brandi Glanville and has two sons, Mason, 5, and Jake, almost 2 – aren't in a relationship. Rimes is married to songwriter Dean Sheremet.
Rimes didn't confirm, but certainly didn't deny an affair in a statement issued on her website yesterday. So what gives? Are they hooking up or not?
Well, Us Weekly, which first broke the story, has posted a video of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian kissing, holding hands and sucking on each other's fingers.
All during a March 7 date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, Calif.
Twenty-two seconds into the clip, Cibrian arrives and the restaurant and they walk in hand-in-hand. Then they're seated - as seen in the center left of the frame - and proceed to hold hands (36 seconds) and kiss (1:47).
At the 2:10 mark, LeAnn Rimes suggestively sucks on Eddie Cibrian's finger. Yowza. They leave together shortly after. Us claims to have the $95 receipt for their dinner, which was paid for by Cibrian on his credit card and signed by him.
Ouch, Eddie! Follow the jump to see the video for yourself ...
BUSTED: Despite his denials, the married Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes appear to be more than friends. How will their respective spouses respond to this story?
such is life!
We all make mistakes. Who knows what the real story is. This kind if stuff has been going on since the beginning of time. Let's give them a break.
LeAnn should get out of this sham of a marriage. She apparently isn't getting what needs at home. Instead she should get herself a "real man� that she is "single�. Unfortunately she made a mistake, she is human, she married very young and didn't know any better.
The real DOG here is Eddie Cirbian; he took advantage of her vulnerability. He has a wife and 2 toddlers. He is way older than LeAnn. He knows the deal. He is the Real Culprit here.
I AM SHOCKED!... Shocked that Cibrian's wife let him off his choke-chain long enough for a trip to the bathroom, much less time enough for an affair. I've never seen a picture of him where she hasn't been GLUEDtohisside, posing and carrying on like the photographers were there for HER. Maybe being around Rimes made Cibrian long for someone REAL? Hopefully, Rimes' fans will understand a woman can only be her husband's beard for so long, particularly when faced with a new man's overwhelming HOTNESS! Go on, girrrrl.
Lifetime's website has videos of LeAnn and Eddie talking about working with one another on their site mylifetime.com
Check it out..
I saw a clip of their movie pretty hot and heavy lol!!! I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN lmao!!!!
Well they were careless!! lol
And their Nora Roberts movie premieres on Lifetime this weekend? Methinks the timing is a little suspicious.

I have decided to make the step to all grain, I have ~10 extract batches under my belt. I am doing a 2.5 gallon batch of Cream of Three Crops. Since i have a 5 gallon pot I will be doing it BIAB, on the stove with my existing kettle. If someone sees an error in my procedure let me know, I am planning on brewing tomorrow morning. I have the most questions about steps 1 and 2 below. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/crea...eam-ale-66503/
2lbs 12oz 2 Row
1lb Flaked corn
.22lbs minute rice
.25oz Crystal at 60 minutes
.25oz Willamette at 60 minutes
Boil Volume 3.1 gallons. Do I add all of the water to the kettle right away?
1. Heat the 3.1 gallons to 158-160F, stir in my ingredients (hopefully the temp will have dropped to 152. Hold at 152 for 90 minutes. (turning on the burner if necessary)
2. Raise the temp to 170, hold for 10 minutes
3 Pull out my grain bag, let the wort drip into the kettle
4. Boil just like one of my extract batches adding hops when appropriate.
5. Ferment and be happy!
On step 2, the mashout, you would actually raise the temp to 170 over the 10 minute period, so ideally you'd start at 152 after your mash, turn on the burner and the 10 min. timer at the same time, the ideally hit 170 right at the 10 minute mark, then move on to step 3. If you hit 170 at like 7 min, 8 min, or whatever, no big deal, just hold it, but the mashout will more effectively separate the remaining sugars from the grain if you do this gradual 10 min heat up to 170 instead of rapidly going up to 170 and holding it.
Everything else looks good!

Primary #2 - Mango Habenero Berliner Weisse
Primary #3 - EMPTY!
Secondary #1 - Downtown Flanders Brown (brewed August 2012)
Keg #1 - Oktoberfest
Keg #2 - Chamomile Honey Wheat
Keg #3 - Pumpkin Ale
Bottled - NONE!
Awesome thanks, I think the brewday should go off without a hitch!
Hey, just wanted to chime in here,,,,I used a inverted colander to support my Bag full of grains so that it wouldn't sit on the bottom....The benefit I found to this was I was able to add heat directly to the bottom of my keggle without fear of scorching the bag and weakening it, and subsequently scorching the grains...I was glad I did this...I had to stir like crazy to even out the heat within the bag....17 pounds of grain total...I know...A different scenario here, but you may find using a colander beneficial,,,I just tied a cotton string on one of the handles so that when I wanted to boil, I just pulled the colander up and out....Good Luck!
Don't know much about that brew, but I usually do 1.75 gallon batches into the fermenter and average about 4 lbs of grain and 2.75 gallons of water to mash with. You seem to be a bit light on grain to me. OG is about 1.040.

Hopville gives me 1.044 (assuming I hit 75% efficiency) Its just a light easy drinking stepping stone brew for some friends to enjoy homebrew
You won't need to do a mashout if you are brewing in a bag. When the mashing time is complete just lift the bag and let it drain, then begin squeezing the rest of the wort out until you can't get any more. Without adding any heat you won't have to worry about burning the bag.
I use this infusion calculator to get my water the right temperature before I add the grains. TastyBrew.com | Homebrewing Calculators | Infusion Calculator Once the grain is added (stir it in well) put the lid on and wrap the pot in something insulating. I usually wrap mine in a bath towel, making sure the top is covered well and then put another towel on the top. In an hour of mashing I may only lose 1 or 2 degrees. If your grain is crushed fine, most of the conversion will be done in the first 20 minutes.
Make sure that your grains are well crushed or ground. The efficiency problems people run into when doing the BIAB usually relate to poorly crushed grain. I grind mine until they are a little coarser than corn meal. The batch I made a couple days ago calculated out to 85% efficiency. Good luck on getting that on your first batch.
Just pitched the yeasties, heres how I came out...
OG corrected for temp (80 degrees) 1.043
Efficiency 70.84%
Not too shabby! I had a little trouble keeping the mash temp at 152, it was more like 154 for the majority of the time
Hopefully it tastes good!

"oh la la in Nice"
fantastic little hotel, great location within 5 mins walk of the old town of Nice and straight in to the pedestrian zone of the new. Tram stop in less than 2 mins walk away. Hotel was super clean with huge rooms, it's a must for Nice.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Modern lobby, average rooms"
We were happy with our stay at hotel massena. The hotel staff were friendly and fairly helpful. The room was smaller than expected/showed in the picture. The breakfast was good, but arguably overpriced. I would recommend to get breakfast at any other local restaurant. Usually runs about 7-9 euros for a coffe, juice, baguette, croissant. All in all, […] we were happy with our stay and may consider going back to the same hotel for our next trip. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Ideal for a quick city break;; home of the Fauves"
A central location in Nice, within easy reach of the Old Town and the Promenade des Anglais. Inevitably the town gets a little frisky at night, so there is some noise, but the bed is very comfortable and the facilities are good. The bath/shower needs extra handholds for those less sure of their footing; but apart from this I found the staff most friendly […] and approachable. They were very helpful with arranging small trips.out to the region, where the colours, flowers and character of the light explain why Chagall, Picasso and Matisse, among many others, found inspiration for their work. If you eat out, make sure you have the wild sea bass, as the farmed is not of the same quality.there are many good restaurants, and the local wine is rose. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Quality Hotel - Nice"
Hotel Masséna is a quality hotel in an excellent city centre location. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, if lacking in a comfortable seat. The breakfast buffet was to a high standard. Perhaps the best thing of all about the Masséna was the quality of the staff. They were, bright, cheerful, professional and all very helpful. My only moan […] was about their WIFI system which required you to sign on with ID and Password after every 45 minutes. I would recommend the Masséna. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia

"Nice hotel, well located"
Hotel Massena is located in a really good spot, close to the main shopping centre, old town and beach, and within walking distance of the train station (or two tram stops which passes right by). The bed was massive and comfortable and the decor was modern, though I didn't like the toilet being in a separate room. The staff were also very helpful. Only […] downside was it was quite noisy. The air conditioning controller kept making a loud buzzing noise and I had to turn it off (which wasn't an issue in May) and we were often woken in the morning by people in adjacent rooms checking out or taking calls. We didn't eat in the hotel but there is a huge selection of good places for breakfast and dinner right by it. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Central location"
Loved Nice. Great place, great people, great food.Avis certifié Expedia
"bathroom and toilet facility was too small"
We arrived with our bicycles from our tour through southern France. It was not a problem to have our bikes placed in our room since there was no other place where to put them. The hotel is situated in the center of the city with good shopping opportunities. There is a picturesque outdoor market for flowers and vegetables in the old part of the city, […] which is converted into outdoor restaurants in the evening. The beach can be reached on foot within ten minutes, it is not a sandy beach but mostly pebbles. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Convenient hotel but that is it"
Located close to the shops and restaurants but that is about all that is good about this hotel. The carpet in the Hotel was from the 70s, which made me keep my flip flops on the entire stay, bathroom didn't feel clean and bed wasn't comfortable. There was quite a bit of noise outside but that should be expected so close to the action of Nice.Avis certifié Expedia

"Great location but not a 4 star hotel"
The hotel is perfectly located but should really only be 3 star. The room was small with hardly any storage, and appeared to have little or no sound proofing. The air conditioning was poor and the room became uncomfortably hot at night which meant we never got a good night's sleep. The breakfast selection was certainly not worth the money.Avis certifié Hotels.com

"Nice hotel for bussines travel"
Very friendly and polite personal. Clean and confortable but the size of the bathroon, specially the shower is too small. Very good breakfast but 20 euros is expensiveAvis certifié Expedia
"Definitely NOT 4 Star"
We booked this based on reviews and photos. Neither the photos nor 4 star rating accurately reflect the place. Communal areas are ok but the rooms themselves are not great. When we spoke to staff about the condition they were rude straight off the bat even though we were trying to be reasonable. We left and stayed somewhere else.Avis certifié Expedia

"Nice in Nice!"
Ideal location; close to city centre and beach - our car whisked away to hotel garage in no time. All the staff at the hotel were simply magnificent; permanent smiles on their faces and so eager to please. "How do we get to the Allianz Stadium?" was one question posed at reception and within minutes we were provided with printed details of the route.

"A few days in Nice"
My husband and I decided on a few days away in Nice, we had been before but had stayed with family, so were unsure of which hotel to stay in . After much reading of previous reviews we chose the Massena, and our choice turned out to be a good one. On checking in we received a free room upgrade which was an unexpected bonus, and breakfast was included, […] which is unusual for French hotels. The room was large with full height windows and a balcony which added to the feel of being in France. A queen sized bed which was comfortable, and the bathroom, which was newly refurbished, had a shower which was vigorous but not over the top. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia

"Outdated and Expensive"
The pictures look good but are better than the actual hotel. The common areas are in excellent newer condition. The room was clean and in good condition but very dated. The internet was not working at all. I would not stay at this hotel again. It was overpriced and not a good value for the money at $200 per night.

Although the hotel is very tired and could do with a little TLC it is very well located, very close to the old town with its fantastic resteraunts you can also get to the beach and squares very easily.

"Excelent location! Great hotel! But the wifi....."
I had two rooms in this hotel for two weeks. The location is fantastic! The hotel is great. We did not book it with breakfast so I cannot comment on that. The hotel has free wifi but its not so good. It does not work in the rooms ( at least the signal was poor in both my rooms) and the connection falls every 40 mins. The password must be punched in […] for every use, which is a little annoying. To use the internet, i always had to go down to the lobby. I would say that is the inly problem.

It was nicely located and great location to walk around the centre of Nice, close to various buses. The breakfast was really good with a variety of selection.

On our first 2 nights, the air conditioner […] broke and they were totally unhelpful, you would think they would be extremely apologetic but after much complaints we got a fan to use for the night!

"Too noisy after midnight"
Second stay at Messena. It will be the last. Karoake across the street into the very small hours on Friday and Saturday, made the stay unpleasant. The room itself was so basic, like a two star hotel.

This invention relates to the field of frequency synthesis, and in particular to a flexible waveform generator with extended range capability.
In frequency synthesis an accurate reference clock is used as basis for stability and accuracy. However such a clock generally has a fixed frequency. Therefore, fractional frequency synthesizers with analog PLLs (Phase Locked Loops) are used to generate a clock with the desired frequency. An analog PLL is usually used to multiply the frequency and a divider is used to divide the frequency.
There are many applications that require a very wide frequency spanning multiple decades from hundreds of MHz down to 1 Hz. Such a range is not feasible for the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) that is part of the analog PLL. Additionally to suppress jitter and noise the VCO frequency range should be limited to up most an octave. This makes the VCO frequency range relatively small. When the maximum VCO frequency is chosen to be the highest required frequency, the output frequency range of the synthesizer can be increased by the use of counters/dividers.
When the frequency synthesizer with its analog PLL and its dividers is implemented in a silicon chip the hardware is fixed and cannot be changed afterwards. This means that when an output clock is needed with frequency below the lower limit a new die is needed. An example for frequency synthesis can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,905,388.
Frequency synthesis systems make much use of counters and/or dividers in their designs. They are used to reduce the frequency of some clock generator or to count a sequence of states that can be decoded to produce a complex waveform. The fractional frequency synthesizer of
The schematics and designs of such counters and/or dividers can be found in any basic textbook on digital electronics. The counters can be designed either with a fixed division ratio or flexible with programmable division ratio between 1 and the maximum count value Qmax. The counting range or division ratio will be limited. When a larger division ratio is needed the counter design needs to be changed. This requires a hardware modification.
The architecture of a frequency synthesizer includes the following elements: A reference; an analog PLL; a counter, and a decoding circuit. The decoding circuits translates/decodes the counter state to an output value. The shape of the output value could be a 50% duty cycle clock, a frame pulse or any other complex repeating signal as shown in
Counters and dividers have some inherent limitations that have nothing to do with the skill of the circuit designer or the nature of counters. Some of these limitations are:
The start up phenomena in the analog PLL and output counters will introduce input/output and output/output misalignment. At start up the output counters will enter an undefined state. When two or more analog PLLs are started, the analog PLLs will follow different trajectories to a locked state even when they use the same clock as reference. This is due to slightly different component values, different noise sources, and delay values. The number of generated clocks over the locking period will be different. Consequently the counters that are connected to different analog PLLs will have different states.
Switching over to another reference frequency during the operation will force the analog PLL to lock to a different frequency. During locking the relation with the input clock might be lost. The trajectory the analog PLL follows during the locking has random components and is for a part not predictable. This will result in misalignment of the output in relation with the input and the other outputs.
Signals and clocks coming from different output counters will have different phases and there is a significant output-output offset and uncertainty about the offset. This is an undesired phenomenon. Precise and defined relations between different output clocks are a hard requirement for frequency synthesizers. In telecom systems, for example, when the frame pulse occurs all clocks must have rising edges at that moment.
These problems are solved when all counters have a direct relation with the reference. The relations between the analog PLLs and the reference are already defined. The reference is directly connected to the input of the PLL. But the counters must be tied to the reference. The state of the counters must be enforced to defined values at prescribed moments.
Loading a counter with a defined value on a precise moment can be done two different ways. Either the counter can be loaded with a constant value, which is not necessarily zero. This is called reset. Or, the counter is loaded with a varying value this is called loading. In essence reset is a specific form of loading. Both methods have been used either stand alone or in combination.
When the frequencies of the output clocks are very different; in other words with a very low common frequency, the number of common moments suitable for reset is significantly reduced. When more than one FEC (Forward Error Correcting) ratio is present in a telecom system the common frequency is very low. This causes long startup times. It takes a long time before one can be certain that the outputs are properly aligned. This will also become a problem during factory testing. Reset is not a optimal solution.
Factory test time of silicon chips is expensive. The more test time is required, the more money is involved. Any fabricated chip must be tested before can be sold and used. As stated earlier scan chains can be used in output counters because of the high frequencies involved. Only functional testing is possible. When however a long divider chain is required the test time will become unacceptably large.
The present invention addresses a number of the above-mentioned problems. It comprises two clocks whose frequencies have a fixed ratio QFB=fCLK2/fCLK1. One clock CLK1 has a low frequency and is used for counting and decoding. The second clock, CLK2, running at a higher rate is used to output the results of the counting and decoding operation.
Thus, according to the present invention there is provided a frequency synthesizer comprising a first clock running at a frequency fCLK1; a second clock running at a frequency fCLK2, wherein frequency fCLK2 is higher than frequency fCLK1, said frequencies having a fixed ratio QFB=fCLK2/fCLK1; a counter driven by said first clock and incrementing by a predetermined number which is either QFB or a submultiple of QFB for each cycle of said first clock; a decoder for converting the output of said counter to produce QFB or a submultiple thereof output values in parallel in successive cycles of said first clock; and a parallel-serial converter for serially outputting said output values at a rate determined by said second clock.
Embodiments of the invention offer a new architecture for output counters with one or more of the following benefits: Maximum division ratio is not limited by hardware; possibly higher VCO frequency; Quickly restored output-output alignment; Output-output alignment does not depend on the locking behavior of the analog PLL; Clock and frame pulse signals are generated with the same hardware; Easy to create offsets with a VCO cycle resolution; Shorter factory test time.
The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
A counter structure in accordance with an embodiment of the invention is shown in
Since the counting is done at a lower rate it is not possible to count the cycles of the high speed clock directly. There is however a relation between the frequencies of the low-speed clock and the high speed clock. For each cycle of the low speed clock the high speed clock will produce QFB cycles. Thus for each low speed clock cycle QFB high speed clock cycles must be counted.
The decoding circuit 16 that converts counter values to output values also runs at a lower frequency. For each cycle of CLK1 it generates multiple, that is QFB, output values in parallel. The set of output values are placed sequentially on the output at the rate of CLK2. Parallel-serial converter 18 runs at the speed of the high speed clock CLK2. A parallel-load shifter loads each reference cycle the QFB output values into the shift register and successively shifts them out. Alternatively the data is loaded into a register and a multiplexer successively selects them for output.
Now that the counters and decoders run at lower frequency the capacitive load on the counting circuits due to decoding logic is no longer a problem. The circuits have more time to settle and any carry has time to ripple through the circuit. Updating the counters with a new value is then also no problem. Because the control and/or interface logic can run synchronously with the cycle counters and decoders on the low speed clock no synchronizer is needed for the reset or load signal.
A analog PLL 22 with stable reference 24 can be used to generate the high speed clock from the low speed clock as shown in
A shifter 26 with a counter 28, such as is shown in
An alternative technique is to load the data parallel into a register 30 with the aid of counter 32 and multiplex the data to the output with multiplexer 34 as shown in
When a PLL is used to create the high-speed clock CLK2 from the low-speed clock CLK1 the counters M and L 32, 28 are already present in the analog PLL 22 as the feedback divider, so this does not add extra circuitry. The maximum count value of the counters M and L is equal to the feedback ratio QFB. In the combined solution of shifters and multiplexer the product of M and L is equal to the feedback ratio QFB. This fits with the requirement that for each reference cycle QFB output values are needed.
Mathematically speaking dividers are incrementers that are combined with a modulo operation. In other words they count and wrap around at the modulo value which happens to be the divider ratio Qout. (The result of the modulo operation is the remainder of an integer division.) Each high-speed clock cycle the counter increments until the end value (modulo value) is reached at which point the counter wraps around and gives a carry pulse to indicate it has wrapped around. Formulating this in mathematics with jcLK2 being the high-speed counter value:
In an alternative embodiment, a hardware table can be used. Since the frequency ratio has a limited division ratio value QFB, the table can also be kept limited in size.
It is now very easy to create time offsets in steps of one cycle of the high-speed clock. It is just necessary to add the number of high-speed clock cycles of offset that is desired to the value of the cycle counter and perform the modulo Qout operation. Again this operation is carried out at a low clock rate.
For the decoder implementation the table can contain the waveforms for different values of Qout. A method using thresholds can be employed. The threshold values determine cycle counter values for which the output changes and edges occur. We will see that the table method is most efficient for small values of Qout and that the method with thresholds and edges can be extended to cross the barrier of maximum count value of hardware implemented counters.
Table Method
With the cycle counter value known the next QFB output values for an output pattern must be generated. The decoder maps the cycle counter value to an output value. But with the cycle counter running at a lower clock frequency multiple output values must be calculated. The next QFB number of output values starting from the current cycle value must be determined.
When the full waveform is stored in a table the counter value can be used as an offset in the table to determine next output values. When the table is placed in a register a barrel shifter can be used to select the correct part of the waveform. The cycle counter value is used as an offset in the table to find the output pattern. See
When the counter value is for instance Qout−1 a wrap around must occur to the first part of the waveform. In hardware this not handled easily since the value for Qout can change. Therefore the waveform is extended with the next QFB-1 values, which happen to be the first values are copied. A similar problem occurs when Qout is smaller than QFB. The waveform must be extended. The minimum size of the waveform or base pattern is Qout+QFB−1. When the highest count value of the cycle counter is reached at the moment of a reference cycle then QFB−1 additional bits are needed for a complete output pattern as illustrated in
Table 4 gives examples up to the Qout=8. However division by 1 is simply the high-speed clock itself and that a circuit for the division by zero is still a challenge for engineers. When the division ratio is odd the output clock does not have a 50% duty cycle.
When Qout is increasing the size of the base pattern also increases. For large values of Qout the base pattern will become too large to store. So this method is only feasible for small values of Qout.
By adding the circuit of
A simple implementation for the decoder checks whether the cycle counter value φCLK2 is above or below the threshold TH0, which is in the case of clock signals half the division value Qout. Since the cycle counter never reaches TH1, the division value Qout, the hardware can be as simple as in
As explained earlier the mapping function hardware has to generate multiple output values per cycle of the low-speed clock. For each low-speed clock cycle QFB high speed clock cycles are processed. This implies that a total of QFB comparators would be required to compare the next QFB cycle counter values and find the output pattern. We need to compare the threshold TH0 with φCLK2, φCLK2+1, . . . , and φCLK2+QFB-1.
We start with an output pattern for the comparator around the threshold of the edge as shown in
The used base pattern and its use can be found in
When the counter value is for instance Qout-1 a wrap around must occur to the first part of the waveform. In hardware this not handled easily since the value for Qout can change. Therefore threshold TH1 also needs to be implemented in hardware next to threshold TH0. The result of the two threshold comparators must be combined. For this Table 6 has been compiled. In general TH0 will cross before TH1 however we need to define a value for that case TH1<TH0. For reasons of simplicity we choose the rule to be if one threshold has been crossed the output will be 0 when zero or two output have been crossed the output will 1. Study of the table shows that the table describes an EXNOR function. Threshold TH1 will set to Qout.
The outputs of the threshold comparators are The QFB bit wide EXNOR function has a QFB bit wide result.
The multiple values for the output of both thresholds are generated in the same way as it is used for the single threshold. The output results of both thresholds are bitwise EXNOR'ed in a QFB wide word. The resulting word is then loaded into the series-parallel converter. This will have same result as loading the results in two series-parallel converters and EXNOR the output of the converters.
When threshold TH0 is small, in fact smaller than QFB, it will come close to threshold TH1 of the previous cycle. Just as with TH1 at the end of the cycle, it needs to be detected in the previous cycle as shown in
Again multiple values for the output of the thresholds are generated is same way as is used for the single threshold. And again output results of the thresholds are bitwise EXNOR'ed in a QFB wide word.
Depending on the value Qout up to QFB edges can be present in the output. The maximum number of edges occurs when Qout is 2 when every high speed clock an edge occurs. This would imply that we need a total of QFB threshold circuits. This however is undesirable because of the big hardware overhead.
For output divider ratios bigger than the cycle counter capacity MAXCNT assistance is needed. An external process, for instance a program running on a microprocessor, does the cycle counting but at a much slower rate. When it is implemented in software only a change in the software is needed to expand the counting capability. The cycle counter SWcnt is compared with the thresholds SWTHx in software and it is checked whether the event occurs within the range MAXcnt of the hardware cycle counter. Then the counter is loaded with 0 and the appropriate values are loaded in the threshold registers. The algorithm below is an example how to calculate the thresholds.
When the counter crosses the maximum counter value MAXCNT minus (QFB+1) it must stop. The counter may not wrap around. This way the last output value is maintained until the software concludes the counter is in reach for the next edge.
These embodiments offer the advantages that the shifters can run at a higher frequency than counters; no counters are required in the high frequency domain (This Reduces the factory testing time), alignment of DCO and the output counters Flexible in division ratios, flexibility in the wave pattern, and offset easy to realize in steps of one high-speed clock cycle. Thus embodiments of the invention use two clocks CLK1 and CLK2 with a frequency ratio QFB, with a low-speed counter running on clock CLK1, a high speed counter running on clock CLK2, and a series parallel converter. The low frequency clock CLK1 is used for counting, output decoding or waveform generation. The high frequency clock CLK2 is used to output the waveform. A sub rate of the high frequency clock can also be used to output the waveform.
Each cycle of the clock CLK1 the counter value will be normally increased by QFB. When a subrate S of CLK1 is used the counter will be with S*QFB. A modulo Qout operation is performed on the result of the counter where Qout is the output division ratio. Embodiments of the invention include concurrent calculation of multiple output values, a table containing the output waveforms for varying division ratios, wherein the counter value is used as an offset in the waveform for the chosen division ratio Qout to get the next QFB output values.
Thresholds can be used to define the edges of the output signal, wherein the threshold is compared with the counter value, and the results of the threshold comparators are combined to form the output signal.
An external processor or computer can be used to update the counters and thresholds to be able to count beyond the physical limits of the hardware counters. In that case the counting is done by the computer or processor and the counter and thresholds are programmed to cover between the update moments. The limited counting range is extended by the software running on the computer or processor.
In the extended threshold mode the counters will not wrap around but halt when comes near the maximum count value.
A parallel-series converter is used to output the data with aid of high speed clock CLK2. The parallel-series converter can be implemented as a parallel load shifter or multiplexer, a combination of a multiplexer and parallel load shifter.
An external process can initialize and update the counter values and threshold values. This can be a processor or a computer. An optimal solution comprises a combination of the three described methods (table, edge and extended edge). The use more than three thresholds can create more complex waveforms than clock and frame pulses. Multiple sets of low-speed counter, decoder, high-speed counter and series-parallel converter can be used by a pair of low-speed CLK1 and high speed CLK2 clocks. When the division ratios are powers of 2 optimizations can be performed to reduce the amount of hardware.

Hi. My name is Joe, and if you were to ask me about my time at FHU, I'd say that I had a pretty incredible Freed-Hardeman experience. Like, best four years of my life good. Not in a depressing 'my life is awful now' way, but in a 'that will be hard to beat' way. I'm 27 years old and I work as an Admissions Counselor for the University. Many things went into making my experience at Freed so great. I would say that there's too many to count, but I've actually thought through it and have come up with a list of the 50 greatest things about FHU! Each week, and in no particular order, I'll be sharing with you one thing that is unique and great about FHU.
For this first entry, I think it's appropriate to begin with an experience that laid the foundation for my time at FHU. That event is interface. In short, Interface is a program designed to help new students get acclimated to college life at FHU. It starts on Freshmen move-in day, and continues on throughout your entire first week at FHU.
Coming in to FHU as a scrawny little freshman all the way from Massachusetts (see picture of my first day), I knew very little about what to expect. I didn't know anyone on campus except for a cousin of mine and, to be honest, I was terrified but excited. The best thing about Interface is that you have the opportunity to meet so many people that you'll be spending the next four years of your life with. You are placed in a group with ten to fifteen other students and you have two upperclassmen leaders to kind of guide you through the whole event. It all starts off with an opening ceremony where you meet your group, and you better be ready to hit the ground running because it's pretty much non-stop activity for three straight days until your classes start. You eat with your group, go to church together, go to Mid-South Youth Camp for 'Interface Olympics', learn about the ins and outs of FHU, go on a canoe trip, eat dinner at a faculty member's house, and more. I remember that first night after moving in to my dorm, parting ways with mom, meeting my interface group and going throughout all of the nights activities, I was so tired that I didn't even think it was weird that I was sharing a dorm room with a guy I had literally met just hours before.
Whether you've been coming to campus since you were in elementary school or you're like me and you had barely ever set foot on campus before, Interface is an awesome way to experience your first week at Freed-Hardeman University.

Junior T Moe made history during Friday night's season-opening win over UC Santa Barbara by collecting the program's first triple-double. The 5-8 guard kicked off her season by posting 19 points and career-highs with 12 rebounds and 11 assists to capture the feat, the 10th to be done in the Mountain West. Moe made a strong push for her triple-double in the second half of action, tallying 13 of her 19 points in that half. Nine of her 11 assists were passes inside that led to Nevada's dominance in the paint where the Wolf Pack outscored the Gauchos by 24 points.

Swing Bridge

Check out this cool Swing bridge caught mid-swing in Little Current, Ontario.
Sunday, 5th June 2005 by Alex Turnbull
Check out this cool Swing bridge caught mid-swing in Little Current, Ontario.
Manitou Island, which this bridge connects to the mainland, is the world's largest island in a lake (Huron). Not too far south of the bridge is Lake Manitou, the world's largest lake in a lake. Lake Manitou, in turn, has a few small islands – islands in a lake in an island in a lake.
Whoops! Did I say Lake Manitou? I meant Mantoulin Island!
This is one of my favorites so far.
Peter, Do you ghost write for Dr. Seuss?
look at the thing just to the east of the bridge! At first I thought it was a transparent bridge or something (well, not really); it took me a while to figure out that it must be a cluster of telephone lines or something crossing the river.
The "thing" to the east of the bridge is the electrical lines (Hydro in Canadian) that serve the island. The bridge opens for boat traffic on the hour and is open for about 15 minutes, so I would estimate that the picture was taken at about 10 after.
The other way onto the island is on the car ferry MS Chi Cheemaun, which travels between South Baymouth on the island and Tobermory on the Bruce Pennisula. You can see it in this lo-res image:
Google maps suggests about a ferry / Google Earth on the left side of the island, but I can't see anything on the pictures. 0_o
That's a great image! I've visited the island and crossed that bridge last summer. I heard that it's the only "swing bidge" left in the world… cool.
There's also a swing bridge in Curacao. Off the coast of Venezuela.
It's surprises me that in 6 years of island-themed posts, and our frequently-documented obsession with all things "largest", that the…

Systematic Collapse
Systematic Collapse is a Melodic Death Metal band from Long Island, NY made up of incredible talent in all corners of the lineup with influences stemming from The Black Dahlia Murder, Wretched, Underoath, Animals As Leaders and Lamb of God, among many others, and are not just your average Metal band with the intent of playing shows every week and cluttering the scene with shitty generic songs and attitudes. They are out to change the face of the combination of hard work, talented music and longevity in the music world. Currently, Systematic Collapse are in the phase of releasing their debut single "Controlled" while writing more songs over the course of the next few months and finding a bassist to join their lineup before hitting the studio again in December/January for a 3 or 4 song EP until they go back to the studio yet again in May/June to record their first full-length album. Times are changing, music is becoming more stagnant and terrible… These guys will not follow the trend and will prove to be the new faces making it to the top of the Metal scene over the next few years and it all starts right here, right now.

Ive got a question that probably has been answered somewhere.
If you have 12 psi in 44 degree keg sitting in a fridge and you decided you wanted to bottle it a few. I use this method and fill your bottle up why is it my bottles are always flat. I have yet to get one that ends up with the nice sound of a carb bottle? What could I be doing wrong that causes his?
Dudes. So I've used this technique with unbelievable success. Filling growlers and sixers for that night out with friends. But I don't find it particularly sanitary, what with the grimy picnic tap and all. Do you guys ever use this technique for long-term storage? I'd like to do this for competitions so the beers are nice and bright, but I don't trust the tap and lines to keep the beer fresh for the interim between entry deadlines and the competition.

2014 Highlights
In conjunction with the 2014 APSCU Hill Day, APSCU prepared several briefing documents on our sector for use when meeting with members of Congress, their staff and other stakeholders.
APSCU Facts
PSCUs open doors to many of the 13 million unemployed and 90 million undereducated Americans by providing a skills-based education. To remain competitive over the next decade, we must identify between 8 and 23 million new workers with postsecondary skills.PSCUs are a necessary part of that solution, having produced over 800,000 degrees last year alone.

Like thousands of people in the world, Michael C. Hall is vulnerable to cancer. The star of Showtime's "Dexter" said on Wednesday, January 13 that he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma which is a treatable and curable condition.
Through his spokesman Craig Bankey, he released a statement, "I feel fortunate to have been diagnosed with an imminently treatable and curable condition, and I thank my doctors and nurses for their expertise and care." Hall is almost finished with the treatment in Los Angeles and the disease is in remission.
In fact, Hall is ready to walk down the red carpet of Golden Globes on Sunday, January 17 with his wife Jennifer Carpenter. The show where they co-star, "Dexter", is nominated for three, including the one of Hall. He also plans to go out on Saturday, January 23 to attend SAG Awards where "Dexter" is also up for three.

The roots of this week's violence go back. Way back.
Trouble erupts in Xinjiang periodically, as it does in Tibet, because two unreconcilable forces are at work against each other. One is the desire of ethnic, linguistic and racial minorities for real autonomy, if not independence, to keep their culture and traditions alive.
The other is China's age-old obsession with keeping the empire together. For thousands of years China has fallen apart into warring states, only to unite again under a strong emperor. "States cleave asunder and then coalesce," is the way China's classic 14th-century epic "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" puts it.
By 1940 China was split into three kingdoms by Chiang Kai-Shek, Mao and the Japanese who overran the coast and set up their own puppet government in Manchuria. The Japanese were driven out, Mao prevailed over Chiang, and neither Tibet nor Xinjiang have never really enjoyed a moment's autonomy ever since. But a strong emperor had once again reunited most of China.
The Chinese looked on with horror as the Soviet Union disintegrated, and all the Muslim Khanates of Central Asia were reborn again as independent countries. They became determined not to let it happen to them.
In Xinjiang oil and gas have replaced jade as commodities the Chinese don't want to let go of, and the resurgence of Islam as a political force is another threat to their kingdom, as the Chinese see it.
The triumph of more technologically advanced societies over less was completed in the 19th century. The 20th century saw an age of mass decolonialization. China's humiliation at the hands of foreigners has ended, but the Chinese are not willing to see themselves as foreigners in Xinjiang or Tibet.
Having gained control over its own destiny, China is determined to remain united and a world power. But the resistance of peoples who bridle under what they consider an occupying power continues, as it always has.
