Who Should Be Cast in the Two 'Snow White' Remakes?
Two projects, one by Universal Pictures and one by Relativity Media, are underway that will showcase differing interpretations of the Snow White tale. Snow White and the Huntsman by Universal is courting Charlize Theron to be its Evil Queen, while at the time time, The Brothers Grimm: Snow White by Relativity Media has its eye on Julia Roberts to play the apple poisoner.
Reportedly, the latter adaptation is also being circled by Natalie Portman, who wants to play an "edgy" version of the main role, perhaps in an attempt to do to the fable what Black Swan did to ballet.
As to what may have jump-started Hollywood's sudden interest in fantasy children's tales, look no further than last March's Alice in Wonderland, which shocked analysts by raking in over a billion dollars globally at the box office.
Earlier this year, Selena Gomez was our pick to play Snow White should a remake ever arise, so she gets Celebuzz's vote. But who do you think should portray the Evil Queen—Theron or Roberts? Vote in our poll!

Does anyone have those little 'dimples' on their upper arms~~I will *not* say the 'C' word! Can you get rid of it/them? I used to work out like a maniac and had great 'sculpted' arms, but 3 years after I stopped I began getting 'dimples', now I seem to be stuck with them. Would massage or wrapping(body wrap)help, or is it a cadio 'issue'?
I've been skinny my whole life and have put on a few pounds, but at 113 lbs/5'1" certainly would never consider myself fat, yet I *have* fat. Help!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you are over 40 the dimples are probally due more to muscle loss rather than wait gain. So weight training would probally help more than cardio. Also muscle helps burn fat that is why many women over 40 begin to gain weight because we loss the fat burning muscle we use to have. Good luck and 113 at 5'1'' is a fine BMI i am sure some arm exercise with weights will help the dimples:) |

Now i'm really feeling horrible being the only one with this problem. ;o( |
Remember...a subtle but important point here on the "weight" issue... A dice-sized piece of MUSCLE weighs THREE TIMES more than the same sized piece of body fat. Which of course is a GOOD THING in this scenario!! Faron |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Thu, Oct 6, 11 at 19:49
Thanks Faron, I know all that, but having worked out for years I just can't seem to get into it anymore. It's attributed to sheer laziness. Off in the distance I can hear the gym calling my name. ;o) |
Exercise doesn't have to be an all or nothing proposition, and you don't have to go to the gym to do it. Start with doing a few push ups every couple of days. Try to do a few more each time. |

roarah: has a good point. You can't stop. There was the other thread about the " c" word. I stressed there too...if you stop you will have one H#$% of a time getting it back. If you don't want to go to the gym then volunteer to clear trails in your area state park or work in a communal garden plot or do your lawn care by hand and several other elderly neighbor's yards...you gotta do something to keep the "dimples" at bay. It takes way more than it did a year ago...and guess what next year brings...??? c |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Thu, Oct 6, 11 at 20:27
I know I don't need to dedicate my life to it, but it does take a lot of effort and you *do* need to keep it up. I use my arms a lot, and even told the bagger at the grocery store to 'pack 'em heavy' cause if you don't use it you will lose it! Knowing all this still doesn't give me the kick in the a** I need to get started and not stop! I'll be 70 next year, but don't feel it, and have been told I sure don't look it, and want to stay it some form of 'reasonable shape'. Trailrunner, I have a dog, so clear the back yard and do my own weeding, just not the mowing, although I know I could. I think my exercise needs to be strenuous to really be effective, or am I wrong? |

patty: 70 !! WOW...you are awesome !! Get the hand weights and look up some of the links for arm workouts. I am IMPRESSED that you are doing what you are doing. You are my idol :) I hope I am interested in my upper arms when I am 70...9 years from now. You really do have to do specific free weights to get what you want. Good Luck and post back after one month . ((())) to you ! c |

Awwww thank you, trailrunner. I'm still vain enough that I *want* to look good......and look at 45 year old men and occasionally have one turn back to look back at me, or ask me out! ;o) |

I think my exercise needs to be strenuous to really be effective, or am I wrong? I used to be a workout fanatic. Then life got in the way ;) Anyway, I recently joined the health club again and it feels sooo good! But one thing I noted was some changes in prior way of thinking, particularly about cardio. The gym I go to is owned/operated by a local hospital, overall health is heavily emphasized. One of the staff trainers was telling me that the old rule of 30 consecutive minutes minimum of cardio to get benefit no longer applies. You can break it up, e.g. 3 ten minute increments over the day and still get the benefit. Maybe a couple short walks with the dog (or without) and put some small free weights in your hands or on your wrists and do the arm pumping motion while you walk? Or a good DVD that focuses on certain body parts in 10 minute increments a day? Do 10 minutes 5 days a week, that's 200 minutes in a month that otherwise wouldn't be done. It adds up! :) |
Patty maybe you could hire a cute 45 year old "puppy boy" to help you weight train!!! ;). I think with the right exercise 70 will be the new 40! Good luck and keep looking ahead! |
Patty C- I'd look back at you...but since I'm a "devastatingly handsome" 50y/o Guy...would THAT do?!?!? ;-) Faron |

Near midnight on Election Day in November 1876, the returns coming into Republican National headquarters signaled a victory for the Democratic presidential candidate, Samuel J. Tilden. But alert Republican leaders saw that if all the states still doubtful or disputed went for their candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes would be elected. Word was sent out to four southern states that their returns were crucial for a Hayes victory. Thus Chief Justice William Rehnquist begins this remarkable account of one of American's greatest political dramas, a crisis that was not resolved for nearly four months, on March 2, 1877, only two days before Inauguration Day.
In his gripping story, Rehnquist tells how each party maneuvered to buy votes in the southern states, how the country slid into Congressional, judicial and public turmoil, and how the creation in January of an Electoral Commission (comprised of five Democrats, five Republicans and five Supreme Court justices) was opposed by both candidates. When that body's deciding vote was cast by Justice Joseph Bradley, public outcry reached such a fever pitch that the presidential swearing-in had to be held on a Sunday in near secrecry.
Reaching beyond the history of a contentious election, the Chief Justice describes the political climate and economy of America in the 1870's, packing his narrative with biographical sketches of the central participants and opening a window on events in that decade that have long been overlooked. In a compelling epilogue we learn the occasions when Presidents, ranging from George Washington to Lyndon Johnson, have asked Supreme Court justices to arbitrate disputes, settle treaties or serve on investigating commissions. Almost always the justices were berated and attacked for their decisions.
Would it be better for them to have refused the president's request? The Chief Justice has some surprising answers.
"Provocative. . . . An engaging and precise account of the bewildering political episode at once remote in time and in culture from our own contested election but strangely familiar as well." —The Washington Post
"Highly recommended. . . . Rehnquist takes the reader through the major congressional and Supreme Court debates of the 1860s and 1870s . . . fill[ing] in this tumultuous background with brisk, confident strokes. . . . He has a keen eye for good stories and quirks of character, and a forceful expository style." —The New York Sun
"An immensely readable work. . . . Rehnquist makes a convincing case." —New York Post
"In this terrific and valuable work, Chief Justice Rehnquist re-creates one of the most dramatic presidential elections in American history. The wealth of biographical detail and the superb discussion of the intriguing issues involved bring the principal actors in this fascinating controversy to vivid life." —Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt
"As a historian Rehnquist is first-rate. The story of the Hayes-Tilden square-off of 1876 is perhaps the most surreal political imbroglio America has ever produced. And this is the most literate, judicious, and wise retelling of that bizarre election ever written." —Douglas Brinkley, director of the Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the University of New Orleans
"Speak[s] pointedly to recent and current events. . . . Rich with subplots and engaging characters." —Austin American-Statesman
"Rehnquist narrates [the] events [of the 1876 election] clearly . . . [and] offers colorful portraits of the two presidential candidates and members of the Court." —The Nation
"An earnest book . . . [about] an intensely interesting period in American history." —Los Angeles Times

Obama Administration Neglected Oil Spill Containment Plan
The massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill has moved within 20 miles of the Louisiana coast, and to hear Obama administration officials tell it, "from Day One" they have been utilizing every weapon available to contain the spill. Now word is emerging that the administration at first dismissed the severity of the spill and then chose not to utilize its most effective weapon in controlling it.
On April 23, three days after the accident that caused the oil spill, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded to reporters' questions by saying, "I don't honestly think it opens up a whole new series of questions, because, you know, in all honesty I doubt this is the first accident that has happened and I doubt it will be the last."
That doesn't sound like all hands were on deck, fully focused, employing every available weapon "from Day One."
Even so, an environmental catastrophe may have been quickly and easily averted if the administration had implemented a federal oil spill response plan drawn up by the Clinton administration in 1994. The Clinton administration formulated an "In-Situ Burn" plan calling for the immediate use of fire booms to contain major spills in the Gulf of Mexico.
Fire booms are inflatable devices that establish a floating perimeter around an oil spill. The boom burns off the surface oil before it can escape the perimeter. A single boom, which costs in the neighborhood of $200,000, could have contained and eliminated all or nearly all of the oil from the BP accident had it been quickly employed.
Despite the existence of the Clinton administration's spill-containment plan, federal officials did not have an oil boom ready when the BP accident occurred. Moreover, the Obama administration waited until April 26 – six full days after the accident occurred – to inquire about purchasing one. By that time, the oil had already spread far beyond a feasible fire boom perimeter.
A week after the spill occurred, Mary Landry, the federal on-scene coordinator for the spill, said the government considered burning the oil, but feared environmental "trade-offs." Landry conceded that fire boom testing has been "effective in burning 50 to 95 percent of oil collected in a fire boom," but the administration feared containment fires would emit a "black plume" of soot and particulates into the air.
Now, shorelines throughout the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic seaboard may pay the price.

I have a friend who was convicted of D.V. for throwing a sandwich at his g.f. a few years ago. He always talks about how he wants to go shooting/hunting with me and how he's "gonna have to buy a rifle". I don't have the heart to tell him that it's not gonna happen due to his conviction.
As far as I know he can't ever own a firearm again. I am right aren't I? I've talked to his nephews and my wife about it and no one believes me. Apparently they didn't tell him when this all happened about the law.
I am now depending on you fellow internet lawyers to help me clear this up. I believe its federal law because I can't find anything in the state law about it. Any help would be appreciated!

ABSTRACT: Introduction Introduction. Pericardial effusion is a clinical disease that requires multidisciplinary management. Several procedures have been described to perform a sufficient partial pericardiectomy in order to assure optimum drainage and that would also permit biopsy samples to be obtained. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the profitability of the partial pericardiectomy through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VTS) in pericardial effusions with clinical suspicion of benignancy, evaluating its indications and its added value compared to other techniques. Material and methods We have performed pericardiectomies in 19 patients with clinical suspicions of benignancy using VTS. The indication was established due to the appearance of symptoms that could be attributed to effusion or when it was necessary to obtain samples. The presence of radiological and/or ultrasonographic signs of constrictive pericarditis or clinical instability were contraindications for the technique. Results The diagnosis after the pathology study was chronic inflammation in 6 cases, active tuberculosis (TBC) in 2 cases and uremic pericarditis in 4 more cases. Previously undiagnosed neoplastic etiology was established in 2 patients; in 5 cases, postsurgical effusions of cardiac surgery were drained. Conclusions VTS is an adequate technique for the diagnostic-therapeutic management of those undiagnosed pericardial effusions and in post-surgical ones. Its high diagnostic performance, low morbidity and almost null existence of relapses has made it especially indicated in cases where it is necessary to obtain samples and the foreseeable survival is long.Revista de Patología Respiratoria. 04/2009; 12(2):74–77. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Surgeons have routinely removed ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes from women with breast cancer for over 100 years. The procedure provides important staging information, enhances regional control of the malignancy and may improve survival. As screening of breast cancer has increased, the mean size of newly diagnosed primary invasive breast cancers has steadily decreased and so has the number of women with lymph node metastases. Recognising that the therapeutic benefit of removing normal nodes may be low, alternatives to the routine level I/II axillary lymph node dissection have been sought. A decade ago sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was introduced. Because of its high accuracy and relatively low morbidity, this technique is now widely used to identify women with histologically involved nodes prior to the formal axillary node dissection. Specifically, SLNB has allowed surgeons to avoid a formal axillary lymph node biopsy in women with histologically uninvolved sentinel nodes, while identifying women with involved sentinel nodes who derive the most benefit from a completion axillary node dissection. Despite the increasing use of SLNB for initial management of the axilla in women with breast cancer, important questions remain regarding patient selection criteria and optimal surgical methods for performing the biopsy. This article discusses the evolution of axillary node surgery for women with breast cancer.Clinical and Translational Oncology 09/2007; 9(8):513-20. · 1.60 Impact Factor

"They know I'm a stubborn git, and they know I'm going to do it anyway," Bale said.
Bale went from playing an über-masculine Batman to emaciated former boxer Dickie Ecklund in The Fighter, a film for which he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
The change was definitely drastic, but we cannot forget Bale is a method actor and as he explained tonight, he's just giving people what they paid for.
"When you get the right role, you want to be obsessive. You want to immerse yourself as much as you can. People deserve it. People are paying money for it," Bale said.

INDORE: Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said in Indore on Sunday those who want to draw Laxman Rekha for women should stay within their Laxman Rekha. He was reacting to the statement of Madhya Pradesh industry minister Kailash Vijaywargia's statement suggesting women should remain within 'Laxman Rekha'.
Terming Vijaywargia's statement ridiculous, Scindia said, "It's strange that in today's scenario--when we are talking about women empowerment, where women are contributing to the development of the country--he is speaking about Laxman Rekha".
"How can we move forward with this sort of mentality," question Scindia adding it is our responsibility to provide safe environment to women and children in the country, rather than drawing the Laxman Rekha for them.

It is difficult for many people, including most Hongkongers, to understand the significance and values of Pok Fu Lam village, as it can appear to represent simply a hodge-podge of squatter sheds and shelters.
Your columnist Jason Wordie shares this misunderstanding ("Land of make believe", May 4).
The village's negative physical appearance is due to government squatter control policies from the 1970s, which give villagers no incentive to improve their properties.
According to the World Monuments Fund, its watch list is "a call to action for cultural heritage around the globe that is at risk from the forces of nature and the impact of social, political and economic change".

Clean, comfortable, and quiet, for myself, my Wife and two kids. Easy access to beach. We had a great time. The web site has very accurate info and pics. I thought it was too good to be true, for the price. For a middle class family, we felt high class for a week. I'm telling all my family and friends, they have got to go.

Silencing Free Speech at CSU
10:45 am
Tue April 17, 2012
Shop Talk - April 17
The panelists discuss a policy implemented by Chicago State University. The Chicago Tribune reported CSU told faculty and staff that everything from opinion pieces to social media communications could require prior approval, and that only authorized university personnel could share information with the media.
(Editor's note: CSU rescinded the policy in the time since this program was recorded).
The Shop Talk panelists, as you might guess, don't care for the policy. It sounds like something convicted felon Rod Blagojevich would have imposed during his time as Illinois governor.
The panelists point out that, under the policy, a professor who completed a study would not be able to comment on the findings without first receiving permission from the university. In addition, an employee who received an honor or award would not be able to talk about it without going through administrative channels.
The panelists believe universities should be places that encourage the free exchange of ideas. This policy would have stood in direct contrast to that principle.

Summertime brings wine festivals aplenty, but there a few events that we're really looking forward to this year. One is Pinot Days, which is a fantastic showcase of some of the world's best Pinots. That premise alone should make most wine enthusiasts swoon, but what also makes this event so appealing is its venue. It's held at San Francisco's Fort Mason, a big, open, airy space that provides lots of room for tasting and chatting up winemakers and fellow wine geeks without feeling crowded. This year's events will include the Grand Tasting featuring nearly 200 producers, as well as Winemakers Dinners, Focus Tastings and Pinot Legends Tastings. If you'll be in San Francisco June 24-28, you really should check out this event—it never disappoints.
Right on the heels of Pinot Days comes another terrific West Coast wine event, the Park City Food & Wine Classic. Park City is an absolutely beautiful town nestled in the mountains of Utah, so even if you don't happen to live in the area, this festival provides a great reason to visit. From July 9-12, the festival will present an array of seminars, dinners and tastings of everything from wine, spirits and beer to chocolate, cheese, and other artisan foods. With so much to do in and around Park City, this event offers the makings for a perfect summer vacation.
At the end of July, ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates & Producers) is going on the road with two grand tasting events in Portland and Seattle. Dubbed "Zin & BBQ in the Park," the Seattle tasting takes place Sunday, July 26, from 4–7 p.m. and will feature more than 40 Zin producers and lip-smacking barbecue made by local culinary students. Similarly, the Portland event, which takes place Wednesday, July 29, from 6–8:30 p.m., will offer a range of Zins paired with plenty of delicious barbecue right in the heart of downtown. Visit the ZAP website for more details.
July will cap off with one more great festival in a gorgeous setting. The Wine Festival at Steamboat will take place July 30–August 2 in Steamboat, Colorado, and will combine lots of fun outdoor activities (i.e. guided fishing tours) with plenty of wine tasting and an interesting range of seminars and dinners. The grand tasting will feature more than 800 wines as well as cooking demos (featuring Hosea Rosenberg, winner of Bravo's Top Chef Season 5), music and other entertainment.

Nationals Park
Attendance: 15,342
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Mike Morse and Jerry Hairston Jr. both knocked in a run to help back eight shutout innings from Tom Gorzelanny, as the Nationals edged San Francisco, 2-0, in the finale of a four-game set.
Wilson Ramos went 1-for-3 with a run scored for the Nationals, who won three games in the series.
Gorzelanny (1-2) was sensational, allowing only three hits with four strikeouts. The left-hander threw 95 pitches -- 62 for strikes -- and did not issue a walk.
"He was outstanding and we had good defense behind him," said Washington manager Jim Riggleman. "A real clean game."
Drew Storen worked a scoreless ninth to record his sixth save of the season.
Aaron Rowand had two hits for San Francisco, which has dropped eight of its last 11.
Madison Bumgarner (0-5) was the hard-luck loser, yielding two unearned runs on four hits with one walk in seven innings. He ended with seven strikeouts.
"It's a shame we couldn't get him a win tonight," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy. "He threw great. But there's not much you can do if you don't hit."
Bumgarner retired the first 12 batters before Ramos led off the fifth with a double off the left-field wall and advanced to third on a bunt by Ian Desmond. Bumgarner then fanned the next two batters.
Ramos reached on a two-out fielding error by third baseman Miguel Tejada in the seventh and went to third on a base hit by Desmond. Morse then grounded a run-scoring single up the middle and Hairston plated another with a double to right-center to make it a 2-0 game.
Brian Bixler was walked intentionally and Gorzelanny grounded out to end the inning.
Back on the hill, Gorzelanny retired 15 straight, before Cody Ross broke the string with a single to center with two outs in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Eli Whiteside then struck out.
Storen entered for the top of the ninth and retired the first two batters, then walked Buster Posey, but got Pat Burrell to ground out to end the game.

The circuit shown in Figure 1 provides a high dynamic range four channel simultaneous sampling system with high crosstalk isolation, flexible sampling rates, minimal external components, and simple interface connections to a DSP or FPGA. The circuit uses four AD7765 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs in a daisy chain configuration to minimize the number of connections to the digital host. The AD7765's fully integrated differential input/output amplifier, and reference buffer significantly reduce the external component requirement.
Using the AD7765 configured in a simultaneous sampling configuration provides
Figure 1. Four AD7765 ADCs in a Daisy-Chained Connection for Simultaneous Sampling (Simplified Schematic: All Connections and Decoupling Not Shown)
Each of the four AD7765 devices is clocked with a common sampling clock (MCLK), synchronization signal (SYNC), and reset signal (RESET) shown in Figure 1. A common 4.096 V reference supplied from ADR444 using the circuit shown in Figure 5 is applied using a star point configuration to each AD7765 (each ADC has an internal reference buffer).
On power up, apply a RESET pulse to all devices (minimum low time of pulse is 1 × MCLK period). The RESET rising edge (which takes the ADC out of reset) is applied to each AD7765 synchronous with the MCLK falling edge. Then a SYNC pulse (minimum low time 4 × MCLK periods) is applied to all AD7765 devices. The SYNC signal acts to gate the AD7765 digital filter (when it is a logic low). On the first MCLK falling edge after SYNC returns to logic high, the AD7765 digital filter starts to process samples internally.
The SYNC function accomplishes two things:
Once all devices are synchronized all ADCs can be configured. Operating in a daisy chain requires that all ADCs use the same decimation rate (controlled by pin 18), and power mode (controlled by writing to the control register Address 0x0001) settings. This ensures that the data from each device is output simultaneously.
Figure 2. Scope Photo of FSO for Each of the Four AD7765 Channels, Simultaneous Sampling with an Output Data Rate of 156 kSPS
To write to all four devices in the chain, a common FSI (frame sync input) signal is applied to all the AD7765 devices. A write to the AD7765 is comprised of 32 bits (16 address bits, 16 register bits). FSI frames the data to the devices. Writing to all four devices, the SDI input to the chain is loaded with a single data write instruction—i.e., when FSI goes low, 32 bits are written to SDI (serial data input) of AD7765 (4).
The example shown in this note operates in normal power mode in decimate by 128 mode (maximum output data rate of 156 kSPS).
Reading Data from the Daisy Chain
Only one FSO (frame sync output) signal is applied to the digital host as the interrupt for reading data from the chain (FSO (1)). This signal is the frame signal for all four channels. The format of the data read back by the digital host (FPGA or DSP) is shown in Figure 3. Conversion data and status bits from AD7765 (1) are clocked out first (FSO (1) is active low during this time). Data and status bits follow from AD7765 (2), (3), and (4), respectively. Note that FSO (1) will be logic high when the data results from remaining converters in the chain are being clocked out.
The next transition of FSO (1) from logic high to logic low signals that the next set of samples from all four channels are ready to be read back. The digital host is required to begin reading back on the FSO (1) falling edge, and read back 4 × 32 bits, i.e., 128 bits from the SDO (1) serial output. Data output on SDO (serial data output) is synchronous with the SCO (serial clock output).
Figure 3. Daisy Chain: Reading Data. Digital Interface from AD7765 (1) to the FPGA. Data from Each Channel is Color Coded and Numbered. Output Data Rate Is 156 kSPS (Decimate by 128)
The AD7765 daisy chain circuit allows the user to simultaneously sample up to four channels at 156 kSPS. The speed of the output data rate can be changed by either reducing the MCLK frequency or changing the decimation rate of the AD7765. It is advised that the ADCs be re-synchronized following a change in the decimation rate. Figure 4 show the FFT from the output of AD7765 (3) running at the maximum sampling rate of 156 kSPS operating from an MCLK frequency of 40 MHz. A −0.5 dBFS input is applied to the AD7765 differential amplifier inputs with a 1 kHz input frequency.
Figure 4. FFT Output for 1 kHz Input Signal with Sampling Rate of 156 kSPS, 40 MHz MCLK, 100 μF Reference Star Point Capacitor. 131,072 Samples.
Figure 5 shows the FFT output of AD7765 (3) running at a sampling rate of 97.65 kSPS operating from an MCLK frequency of 25 MHz with a 1 kHz (−0.5 dBFS) input. Table 1 shows the performance of the AD7765 at 40 MHz, 30 MHz, 25 MHz, and 20 MHz for Normal Power.
Table 1. Performance versus Reference Star Point Capacitor. AD7765 Decimate by128, Normal Power Mode, −0.5 dBFS, 1 kHz Input
The signal source was an Audio Precision SYS2522 analog output, balanced GND, 7.699 V p-p output, 40 Ω output impedance, high accuracy mode. The analog input was applied directly to the AD7765 integrated differential amplifier. The FFT sample size was 131,072.
Figure 5. FFT Output for 1 kHz Input Signal with Sampling Rate of 97.65 kSPS, 25 MHz MCLK 100 μF Reference Star Point Capacitor. 131,072 Samples.
One of the main performance benefits of implementing multi-channel simultaneous sampling with discrete ADCs rather than integrated components is the crosstalk performance. Table 2 shows the crosstalk on adjacent AD7765 channels when a −0.5 dB, 1 kHz input is applied to AD7765 (2).
Table 2. Crosstalk Performance
Reference Configuration
The ADR444 is a 4.096 V reference supply to each of the AD7765 devices in this circuit. One of the benefits of the AD7765 is that it has an on-board reference buffer, which isolates the user from the internal reference sampling circuitry. This means that no external buffer is required for the case where multiple devices share the same reference. The star point configuration shown in Figure 6 allows the reference voltage to be applied from parallel traces to each ADC from a single point. This is the best practice for minimizing any potential interactions between the ADCs. The reference voltage is serially tapped from a common reference trace to each device. The on-chip reference buffer also isolates the internal dynamic switched capacitor loads from the star point.
Figure 6. Reference Voltage Configuration Test Conditions
The circuit described is a scalable design in that it easily allows the user to adapt to new operating or application conditions.
If only two or three ADC channels are required, the last ADC in the chain can be eliminated, and the SDI for the chain simply routed to Device (3).There is flexibility in setting the sampling rates of the individual devices to handle different bandwidths. For example, the user can split the chain up into two sets of two channels each by routing a separate SYNC signal to each channel, or by simply using the decimation rate pin to change the effective sampling rate. In such an implementation, there is also a pin-for-pin replacement part, the AD7764, which allows the user to sample at up to 312 kSPS with a two-channel daisy chain.
Details on the layout of the PC board for AD7765 are described in the data sheet, with emphasis on the decoupling of supplies and the reference on the right hand side of the device. The Gerber files for the AD7765 evaluation board is available at www.analog.com by navigating to the Evaluation Board section on the AD7765 product page.

Why You Should Keep WritingQ: What do you guys think of my story so far? Should I keep going?This seems to be a very popular question. I'll argue it's a useless question, and explain why.This reply is directed at new writers, and despite the tone that may follow, I really do intend to be sincere and helpful. I was once a newbie, too. And although I'm certainly not going to claim to be great, I've fallen flat on my face enough times to learn how to pick myself up and produce something I'm proud of.Here's why you need to not ask this question. You're either going to succeed, or you're going to fail. But, either way, you'll be better off for having:1. Tried2. Figured out how to motivate yourself to continue3. Completed the entire first run of the story yourself1 ~ I can speculate that there are plenty of people out there who are afraid of failure. I know first-hand. I'm not a professional writer. I teach mathematics. And it is my job every Fall to convince a hu

Workshopping with Rasp: Part 2 of 3In the first part of this workshop, I talked about how to create compelling characters. This part will be about what drives them and how to royally ruin their day so you can entertain your readers. compelling characters are useless without a story. This is where motivation and conflict come in.MOTIVATIONWhat is it? A state of being that exists when needs or wants are not being fulfilled and the desire to have those needs or wants satisfied.On a basic level, humans have needs. I hope we are familiar with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs because that is what I'm about to draw from. If not, here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs . On the bottom rung, we have physiological needs that must be met for basic survival: breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, h

Premium Content and how I feel about making moneyHallo There's a new feature called premium content that allows users to make file downloads available for a charge. This seems to be something with a vast range of different possibilities that range from quite nice to to quite lame. Of course we are all always against commercialization and sell-outs and everything and don't want things to change but there are some interesting options here.Obviously everyone is going to know whether or not this is something he or she could use and how much sense it's going to make for what you do specifically but there's two points I want to adress.I always thought it was lame when people sell stuff like brushes or psd files. This is probably just my personal opinion and many will certainly disagree for valid reasons, but I think, if you make some brushes, and you ask money for something as tiny as that, you are lame. Sorry. Actually, the point here is not that it will kill someone to pay like one buck for something tiny, it's just that it change

10 Years on deviantART!So like, woahhhh. 10 years. Crazy. How did time pass by so fast?It doesn't really exactly feel like that long ago when I first started visiting dA and now it's already been a decade. So kinda for myself (and also anyone possibly interested) here's a journal post recapping my last 10 years~ (Also sort of my journal in photography too, I guess.) May 17 2002I signed up on dA when someone in the drawing group I hung out with told me to check out his works here. I was only 14 then. I didn't use dA a lot at the time because it looked like this: http://web.archive.org/web/20030426063919/http://www.deviantart.com/I was on a 15" 1024x768 display and the ad banner + dA header took up half my screen on every page load. Did not like. >_>Sept 2003I dropped by dA every now and then, in Sept I suddenly found it a lot more user-friendly, the new version: http://web.archive.org/web/20030922013355/http://www.deviantart.com/I added dA to my daily visit and I started mak
dA adds new CSS attributes Skinners! Must read!Okay, as per the latest dA site update found here. CSS coders are now allowed to use 3 more properties to rock their journal skins.The properties are:1) content2) counter-increment3) counter-reset~~~~EXPLANATION~~~~Lets see what can we do with these new fancy stuffs!What does these attributes do?1) content--> it is used to insert generated content in your HTML (Journal body for DA). Don't worry, don't worry! I'll tell you what is this "generated" content!2) counter-increment --> it is used to insert numbers (or counters) to sections or sub-sections. I'll explain what "sections" and "sub-sections" are don't worry again!3) counter-reset --> it is used to reset the countersAll these 3 properties are generally interlinked and are used together. But the "content" property can be used alone and has some cool usage.~~~~"cont

China trip post (photo heavy)Mm I don't know how to go about this in an organized manner, so this will just be a stream of photos with my intermittent narration.Our trip was Shanghai > Hangzhou > Nanjing > Suzhou > Wuxi > back to Shanghai. Then we went to Hong Kong on our own.Oh yeah, first, since I have no photos of these (for good reason): THE SQUAT TOILETS. They suck. They stink. You can always tell if there's a bathroom nearby by the smell in the air! Half the time the flush doesn't even work. All the used toilet paper is tossed in a bin, so the smell just lingers and lingers. For some reason, sometimes they sell food right outside the bathrooms. LIKE WHY?! I don't know how anybody can think about eating with that smell there.I drank as little as possible. Between my sis and I, we also brought 5-6 rolls of toilet paper, so it was more than enough. (We left the extra rolls at Grandma's in HK afterwards haha.)Anyhoo, onto pictures...From our place to China was a 12 hour flight, 4 hour break at airport, then
How to price your artwork for freelance workFor a while now I have been giving pricing suggestions to artists in the projects forum. I've had many requests and given a lot of advice. It is getting to the point where there is so much demand that I just can't keep up on the reviews, so I thought I might lessen the burden a little and help you learn how to price your own artwork.The problem with pricing your own work is that your opinion is not objective. You may think that your art is better or worse than it actually is. This is normal, but to get the best evaluation of your art you should ask for help outside your immediate family and friends.

I have to move my Niobi and I wanted to know if I can combine it with my Cezanne (on a 4ft. obelisk )?Would Niobi overpower Cezanne? Thanks |

In my garden Niobe is not very vigorous though it is taller than Cezanne. I don't think a 4' obelisk is big enough for two mature Clems though.... |
Thanks. My Niobi is also a very slow grower so I thought just maybe I could put them together. But I will try something else. Thanks again. |
