The present application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/856,508 filed Jun. 15, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,987,796 inventors Boulanger et al.
The object of the present invention is a method for receiving spectrum spreading signals with frequency shift correction. It finds an application in digital transmissions.
With the invention, effects due to untimely frequency shifts may be corrected, regardless of the origin of these shifts. Most often, this will be a Doppler effect related to the moving speed of the receiver. But this might also be effects due to a frequency shift of the local oscillators. In the description which follows, it will be assumed that the effect to be corrected is a Doppler effect, without however limiting the scope of the invention to this case.
A great number of publications have been made on the correction of the Doppler effect. For example, patent U.S. Pat. No. 5,007,068 may be mentioned as well as the corresponding article of M. K. SIMON and D. DIVSALAR entitled �Doppler-Corrected Differential Detection of MPSK�, published in the journal, �IEEE Transactions on Communications�, Vol. 37, No. 2, February 1989, pages 99-109. These documents describe a technique wherein the Doppler shift is determined on one half of the symbol period. For this purpose, the receiver uses two circuits each with a half period delay, and a Doppler effect estimation circuit connected between the two delay circuits. The correction is then performed on the usual demodulated signal.
This technique may also be used for modulations of the multiple differential phase modulation type (abbreviated as MDPSK for �M-ary Differential Phase Shift Keying�), but it is not applicable to spectrum spreading transmissions where each symbol is multiplied by a pseudo-random sequence.
The article of F. D. NATALI, entitled �AFC Tracking Algorithms,� published in the journal, �IEEE Transactions on Communications, vol. COM-32, No. 8, August 1984, pages 935-947, describes a technique in which preambles made up of known symbols are formed before transmitting the useful information. The working frequency is automatically controlled (�Automatic Frequency Control� or AFC) by a loop structure.
The following correction techniques may further be mentioned:
These techniques are generally expensive and complex and do not make the most out of the advantages of spectrum spreading, nor of the digital processing of the signals. The object of the present invention is precisely to overcome these drawbacks by providing a method which processes the signals in the base band (and not the signals in the radio portion) and which is well adapted to digital processing.
Document EP-A-0 822 668 describes a receiver for spectrum spreading signals wherein the Doppler effect correction is performed on the base band signal.
Specifically, the object of the invention is a method for receiving spectrum spreading signals with frequency shift correction, wherein:
Circuits F(I), F(Q) perform a correlation operation between the received signal and the pseudo-random sequence used at emission. This operation consists in storing a certain number of successive samples and in performing a weighted sum with the help of coefficients which are the coefficients for direct sequence spectrum spreading. These coefficients are equal to +1 and to −1, according to the sign of the chips forming the pseudo-random sequence.
The analog-digital converters ADC(I) and ADC(Q) operate at frequency neFc where Fc is the frequency of the chip (Fc=1/Tc), and ne is the number of samples taken in a chip period (Tc). To simplify the discussion, it will be assumed that one sample is taken per chip. The correlation signals CORR(I) and CORR(Q) contain one correlation peak per symbol period.
As for the DOT and CROSS signals delivered by the demodulation circuit DD, as a reminder, they are for the first, the sum IkIk-1+QkQk-1, and for the second, the difference QkIk-1−IkQk-1, where Ik and Qk designate the correlation samples of rank k for channels I and Q, the rank corresponding to a symbol period (Ik corresponds to CORR (Ik) and Qk to CORR (Qk)).
In order to estimate the time T (or 2T), according to the invention, the correlation signals are used as DOT and CROSS signals.
To carry out the correction, either the incident signals or the correlation signals are acted upon. There are therefore several possible alternatives which are illustrated in
The properties of the signals to be processed are used for determining the period T illustrated in
After differential demodulation, the following DOT and CROSS signals are obtained:
By replacing in (3), (4) the quantities with their values given by (1) and (2) and taking into account the properties of trigonometric functions, it is found that:
It is seen that both DOTdop and CROSSdop quantities are independent of the rank k of the preamble symbol.
By taking the ratio of these quantities, the tangent of angle πN/2T is formed from which the angle and the value of T may be extracted:
The Doppler effect estimation circuit ESTdop of
Such a signal is generated by a generator with two quadrature outputs.
This calculation may be changed by taking a sequence of weighted samples and calculating:
A generator receiving T, delivers components Cs and Cs as defined by (8) and (9).
Having described the means for obtaining both components Cc and Cs of the correction signal, a description will now be made on how the received signals are corrected accordingly. This correction processes the signals carrying the transmitted information and no longer the preamble.
Generally, the correlation signals CORR(I) and CORR(Q) of the phase and quadrature channels may be considered as real and imaginary components of a complex signal CORR(I)+jCORR(Q). The Doppler effect changes the phase of this signal (in other words, it rotates the vector which represents it) by a quantity ej(πx/2T). The obtained signal is the Doppler effect affected signal. Its components are CORRdop(I) and CORRdop(Q). This may be therefore written as:
Conversely, the components free from the Doppler effect may be expressed with respect to the components impaired by the Doppler effect as:
By developing the right-hand member of this equation and by identifying the real and imaginary terms, it is found that:
The same relationships may be established with signals I and Q, i.e.:
The correction circuit must therefore comprise multipliers for multiplying the signals to be corrected by both components of the correction signal, and adders in order to perform the sum of the obtained products.
The invention is not limited to the case when both channel I and channel Q are corrected. One or the other of these channels might as well be corrected. The correction circuit will then implement the portion of the means required for calculating expressions (17) or (18).
The invention, which has just been described, is applied to any type of pseudo-random sequence spectrum spreading signal receiver. In particular it may be applied to so-called Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) transmissions. In these transmissions, several users share a same channel by means of different pseudo-random sequences. The receiver then comprises as many parallel channels as users. In a particular embodiment, such a CDMA receiver may comprise parallel suppression means for interference between users, with weighting means. Such a receiver is described in a French patent application filed by the present applicant on Mar. 24, 1998, under number 98 03586.
Curve 50 refers to a conventional method with one stage, without interference suppression. Curves 51 and 52 refer to the same method but with two different Doppler effects, the first with a relative shift of 10−6 at 2.45 GHz and the second with a relative shift of 10−5.
Curve 60 refers to an interference parallel suppression method with only one stage for parallel suppression of interferences and curves 61, 62 to the same method but with shifts of 10−6 and 10−5.
Curve 70 refers to a method with two stages for parallel suppression of interferences with associated curves 71, 72 for shifts at 10−6 and 10−5.
Finally, curve 80 marks the theoretical limit of the phase difference modulation technique (DQPSK).

Flowers in the Potager Garden
Hello all, I'm new to this forum but not to GardenWeb. What an awesome place! I think I've definitely found my new hang-out. I grow figs, heirloom tomatoes and a few other fruits and veggies. I have a large yard, but very little space for gardening because my DH thinks vegetable gardens are unattractive and belong in the country. That is why I can appreciate the Potager garden. They are so beautiful and look perfectly suited for my situation.
My question is regarding the many beautiful flowers that I've seen in your gardens. Do you actually grow them from seed each year or do you purchase them? I'd like to try growing some from seed but I want to make sure whatever I grow will flower this season. I have lots of flower seed but not many of those listed for the Potager garden (I have echinacea, sunflowers, zinnias, poppies and petunias). Is there a reason why certain varieties of flowers are grown? I'd really like to use what I already have on hand and maybe include some dwarf dahlias. The little area I'd like to plant is adjacent to the street. Its a prepared circular bed (30'diameter). The only way I can pull this off is to make it appear as a flower bed/garden and hide my veggies in the middle. Wish I could post pics.
Thanks for your help!
I start everything from seed, just more economical for me to do it that way, also keeps me busy during the winter months, I grow under lights. You can use what ever you want in the potager, some people only use edible flowers such as nastursiums and daylillies, but most I see have intermingled assortments or flowers. I would just be care ful of sweet pea flower vine and edible peas, they look the same and the sweet peas are toxic. In past gardens I would fill holes in the veggie garden with herbs and annual flowers, but I ususaly pack my veggies in so I usually dont have too much room for annuals. I am starting a new potager this spring and it will be well though out for spacing etc. Now Im just working on my lasagna beds getting ready for spring. good luck with your potager.
Thanks for the info. gjmancini. I am starting with a very small space as well. I actually like the look of veggies planted together in tight spaces. I want to add flowers to the corners so passersby see the flowers and not the veggies. I live on a corner lot in a subdivision with lots of nosy, opinionated neighbors. Whatever I do has to be decorative as well as functional.
"My petit potager" is my inspiration. Just lovely. I also like the dahlias in the circular potager on this forum.
gjmancini, I purchased a few more flower seeds last weekend and will start them over the next few weeks. I also bought some great looking perennials on clearance at Lowes for $1. They're the 1 gallon size. They're not in bloom of course, but who cares!
My small potager must include a few flowers planted among the herbs and vegetables. Actually it is chock full with the following plants: Pineapple sage, football mums, salvias(blue) snapdragons(mixed colors), green peppers, 3 clumps of asparagus in the back row) leeks, oriental lilies, Italian parsley, swiss chard; heirloom tomatoes, and hot peppers; zucchini (3 plants only), a teepee planted with purple pole beans, and cucumbers intertwined with the beans, gazanias, nasturtiums and a few herb plants.
This potager looks attractive with these plants and I would never try to hide my vegetables. If, in fact, you place them in the front yard or in a corner display, remember that okra, eggplant, and swiss chard has pretty leaves and the flowers on the okra and eggplant are also attractive. I also like to use those plants on the side of my yard intermixed with the tall cannas during the summer months.
It is an edible landscape area as well.

"Great story!"
It's a fantastic story very well told by Andrew Roberts. It's very credible with the references from other historical records. I highly recommend it for avid students of history.
"Thank you and a Merry Christmas to Audible.com"
I am truly impressed with your customer centric mindset. Thank you and a Merry Christmas to Audible.com.
After this book I became a big fan of Teddy Roosevelt. I was supposed to listen during cardio on the stationary bike but ended up listening to it for hours while searching for images of the river to supplement the experience down the river with Teddy and Candido. Candido Rondon is another guy on my hero list. This book was riveting, inofrmative, and inspiring. I would highly recommend it.
"Great read!"
This was a great read! It is very revealing and insightful on the key characters that formed American foreign relations. It was also very interesting to get a view on the mindset and circumstances that affected key thinkers and policy makers in the US. I would highly recommend this book.

NEW YORK (AP) — A slump in Internet and other technology stocks pulled the broader market lower Friday, as traders turned on the same companies they flocked to earlier this year. Google, Netflix and other pillars of the Internet economy took a beating.
It was a bad day in an otherwise decent week. The Standard & Poor's 500 index ended the week slightly higher.
Mixed signals in the government's monthly jobs report gave investors little direction Friday. The government said that U.S. employers added more workers to their payrolls last month, but the overall report presented a mixed picture, and the unemployment rate remained at 6.7 percent.
The stock market crept higher to start, began losing steam at lunchtime and then turned lower in the afternoon. The jobs report wasn't the culprit, said Uri Landesman, president of the hedge fund Platinum Management. It was likely the "momentum" traders, he said, people who chased high-flying stocks and are having a change of heart.
Tech stocks had soared over the past year, pushing the Nasdaq composite index up 28 percent, as traders piled into Internet and biotechnology companies. Netflix and Facebook, for instance, doubled in price over that time.
"It's like (traders) took a look at some of these high-flying Internet companies and said, "How can I justify these prices?'" Landesman said.
The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index plunged 110.01 points, or 2.6 percent, to close at 4,127.73, its biggest one-day drop since February.
The S&P 500 index fell 23.68 points, or 1.3 percent, to 1,865.09. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 159.84 points, or 1 percent, to 16,412.71.
Utilities, which investors buy to play it safe and collect dividend payments, bucked the overall market and edged higher. Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson and other big corporations whose stocks are often less volatile than the broader market also made gains. Coca-Cola climbed 15 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $38.22.
Before the market opened Friday, the Labor Department reported that employers added 192,000 jobs in March. That's less than economists had expected and also below February's total of 197,000. On the bright side, employers added a combined 37,000 more jobs in February and January than the government first estimated. A half-million Americans started looking for work last month, and many of them found jobs.

Mayor Kasim Reed to Recognize 75 Gates Millennium Scholars From Atlanta Area.
FAIRFAX, Va., May 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The United Negro College Fund (UNCF) today announced that 75 Gates Millennium Scholars from Atlanta and surrounding counties in Georgia will be recognized at a reception hosted by The Honorable Kasim Reed, at Atlanta's City Hall, Thursday, May 13. These students are a part of the 2010 Class Gates Millennium Scholars.
The good-through-graduation college scholarships awarded through the Gates Millennium Scholars Program can be used at colleges or universities of the recipients' choice and have funding that can include graduate study through a doctoral degree in seven academic disciplines.
The 1,000 students selected nationwide are joining over 13,000 Gates Scholars from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five American territories including American Samoa, Guam, Federated States of Micronesia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Gates Scholars have an average graduation rate of almost 80 percent, which is higher than the national average rate.
"I want to congratulate the students from Atlanta who have been accepted into the Gates Millennium Scholars Program," Mayor Reed said. "This program, our nation's largest source of minority scholarships, enables thousands of dynamic students to attend college and ultimately become some of our nation's best and brightest leaders."
"I also want to acknowledge and thank the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UNCF's President, Dr. Michael L. Lomax and program administrators of this program for contributing greatly to the success of our youth," Reed added.
Established in 1999 with the goal of developing the next generation of leaders for the global economy, the Gates Millennium Scholars Program is funded by a $1.6 billion grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In addition to financial assistance, Gates Millennium Scholars receive academic support, mentoring and leadership training.
"The 20,000 young men and women who will attend college as Gates Millennium Scholars will make a major contribution to helping the United States fulfill President Obama's goal of regaining for America world leadership in the proportion of citizens with college degrees," said Michael L. Lomax, UNCF President and CEO. "The Gates Millennium Scholars Program is an investment in both the futures of these students and the country's economic and social strength and competitiveness."
UNCF's management of the Gates Millennium Scholars Program is a partnership with the American Indian Graduate Center Scholars (AIGCS), the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF) and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) to serve Gates Millennium Scholars in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Michelin Boots: Men's Steel Toe EH Sledge Work Boots XPX761
I am 40 yrs old and on my 6th pair. I worked in a harsh steel manufacturing environment. I never wore a pair out since I get yearly boot allowance. I still wear the old ones around home and don't see ever wearing one out so I gave 2 pair away. After 5 years I did try another boot and although it was okay, I was sorry I didn't stick with what works.

Kabwata PF MP Given Lubinda is pondering standing as Independent candidate if he is expelled by the PF.
And Lubinda has told people close to him that he prefers to be expelled from the ruling party as he thinks that will win him public sympathy.
Lubinda, who is the Foreign Affairs minister, is likely to be expelled from the ruling party on charges of treachery, working with the opposition UPND and passing information to the Daily Nation and Zambian Watchdog.
Lubinda, who is also PF chairman for Information and publicity has told people who have been urging him to strike first by resigning that resigning is not a good strategy.
He believes that when he is expelled, he will be seen by Kabwata voters and the country at large as a victim. Lubinda is said to be hoping that his case will drag on so that he can benefit from the publicity where he is seen by voters as a victim of the intolerant PF.
His expulsion is almost certain as the PF central committee meets anytime but most likely this week to 'hear' his case. PF insiders says that there is no doubt that Lubinda will be expelled as president Sata is with Kabimba on this one. Even if he has a few central committee members who support him, they are unlikely to defend him as voting in that meeting will be by show of hands not secret ballot and Kabimba will be there to see who raises his hand for Lubinda.
Chishimba Kambwili who tried to defend Lubinda was silenced by one statement that he is giving his girlfriends money meant for youth empowerment.
Lubinda has been MP for Kwabata for 12 years now, starting in 2001 on the UPND ticket.
Lubinda is willing to defend his seat on the UPND ticket but feels that going back to UPND will be giving his enemies in PF the ammunition as they will say 'we told you he has always been UPND.
But PF sources say whether Lubinda stands as an independent or hides in UPND, they will flush him out parliament. PF sources say they will do anything to make sure Kabwata does not go to the opposition after Lubinda is expelled as that will send wrong signals that the PF is crumbling.
PF sources also say that if Lubinda will make a lot of 'noise' when he is chased, the Anti Corruption and regular police will go knocking at his door. According to sources, there are a number of illegal activities Lubinda has been involved in as minister of Foreign Affairs and senior member of the Lusaka City Council.
But Lubinda also faces rebellion from some of his close friends who have been helping him win elections even if his performance as MP in Kabwata is pathetic.
A number of people close to Lubinda talked to said that he grew pompous and big-headed when he was appointed minister by Sata.
His colleagues accuse him of having stopped answering their phone calls but that in the past three weeks, he has been sending them text message.

People of Zambia, you need to voice your own opinions of someone and not beause of what the majority say about a person. Wyther Kabimba in my books is a dirty crook who will not stop until he get's what he wants. More like a spoilt rotten child. He is uneducated we all know that and busy shooting blanks yet we forget so easlily about his long record of corruption, adultery, mistresses, having children outside of marriage and so many things we don't know about yet and we trust him!! He is like a small little dog against a Doberman and all he can do is bark and make noise to get attention because that's what small dogs do.
Mr. Lubinda is known as an outspoken politician which only means because of his outgoing nature is the reason Sata won the elections not beause he is like Sata. He came under criticism from both members of the then ruling party (Movement for Multiparty Democracy) and the opposition for voicing concerns on issues such as expenditure after the Zambian government planned and eventually increased salaries and allowances for both Ministers and Members of Parliament following the death of President Levy Mwanawasa, but we Zambians forgethe was fighting for us!!
Lubinda is also seen by some as a possible successor to the aging Zambian President Michael Sata who became president in September, 2011 after failing to win Presidential elections in 2001, 2006 and 2008. In January 2012, Given Lubinda bungee-jumped from the Victoria Falls bridge to restore confidence in the jump arrangements after Australian Erin Langworthy's rope broke during her jump. He has offered to jump again with Langworthy. So Zambia… what are you doing with all your stupid signs and angry faces online making fools of yourselves because you have been promised Chibuku and busy painting a bad name for a wise man.
Get your facts straight and go for the real bad guys like Edgar Lungu the drunk (he`s pathetic), Wynter Kabimba, GBM, and all the nasty PF plus their iliterate slogan chanting grade 6 cadres with no sense of direction at all. Grow up PF! Grow up Wynter Kabimba! Grow up GBM! and grow up Edgar Lungu!!
State House, I`m demanding the immediate expulsion of Wynter Kabimba period!! Man needs to go ASAP!!
T.B. Joshua's prophesy for leaders in 2013 has already started in Zed.
All along i knew that Given was in the party for thugs. Now it is dawning on him. There is no man of sane mind like given can survive in a den of thugs.
Lubinda was the voice of PF before they came into Government and he thought all he used to say would be what the PF would do once in power but instead it is the contrary. He does not see himself being a part of the goings on and is the reason that he might see himself being forced out. I believe he is actually showing himself to be an honest man. When Winter says he's not being loyal it's only because he's simply taking a stand against the wrong the PF is doing. He obviously saw the PF as a party with a better agenda than the MMD able to take Zambia to higher heights from where the MMD left off. Too bad…
Tongas PF is not finished. It will be in power even after 2016 and 2021. We have just started leading you. Watch this space. You have a big problem. Before 2011 elections you were very certain HH will win the presidency but your man came third. Now you have started glorifying him for 2016 mubepele fye. You mean only Tongas will vote in 2016? As long as other provinces will vote HH will get zeroooo come 2016.
True Lubinda, has become pompus and extremly unhelpful. Have you (bloggers) visited this guy when things were good with him? he would look at u as if you are some trush….? Would he win Kabwata?? maybe those who have not interacted with him would vote for him.
Mr lubinda has done what his best. word of advice, he should not stand if or or definitely when he is expelled. He will be judged by his works.
you have become irrerevant to the Zambian people who wanted change so you must leave politics and go into business.
Sorry man. I like you
Lubinda is getting what he deserves.He had too much trust in Mr Sata. Even though he knew as well as we know that the trust was misplaced. Pompous he became. without a doubt! The one who is getting this guy from the PF is Fred Mmembe and Amos Malupenga. If you recall before the elections Lubinda told a guy who had complained about the sudden change of attitude of the post staff towards PF that ,'let it be so for now we will deal with them when we win.' Instead they have dealt with him. remember what became of sakala richard for having said while still press secretary for Dr FTJ that tell mmembe i don't talk to homosexuals? with the consent of king cabbage task force on corruption was literally task force on richard sakala!mmembe never forgives and never forgets! You see Lubinda was irritatingly more PF than Mr Sata at one point in the run up to the elections. He has been used. He is being dumped. Like a condom! Lesson to all of you
How I wish these youths would demand better roads, healthcare, and education with the same vigor! I know there is somebody feeding them with pittance, but expelling Lubinda from PF is not going to put food on their table. As I write, pa stove yakwa Lubinda akabwali kalebwata.
the D09s are feeding Lubinda to the hungry lions with this article… it does him no favours at all. It is a turn of events from the d09s and I reckon the article is vile because I suspect Lubinda might have turned a request by UPND for him to quit PF and stand on their (UPND's) platform… hence this article and ensure Lubinda has no chance whatsoever of winning the Kabwata if he stood as an Independent. Just read between the lines and compare past articles on him over the same issue.
That said, we don't know how the people of Kabwata will react or vote – all this is mere speculation. One thing is for sure: Lubinda can beat anyone if elections are held free and fair – from campaigning that lacks violence and no bribes to non-rigged elections. He can easily win and he should go down fighting. PF will only beat Lubinda by campaigning using thugs to unleash violence and intimidation; and if that failed they would rig elections. Anyone remember Sata brandishing Pangas and Machetes in Kabwata / Libala when he was still in the MMD. I recall even his poster sucker boy wrote a vile article condemning him that he was a thug.
Ba d09s if there's malice in your article whatsoever, please write a more positive story on the man next time. This particular one has damaged him badly – just look at the comments below. The last stories solicited more positive and sympathetic comments from bloggers. Truly the media and can make or break a political career of a candidate. Remember you have now assumed the role of The Post now and many bloggers now view you as Gospel of Zambia.
I agree with you.
If am Lubinda,I can just stop politics today infact 12years is enough & he has shown that he is a good leader. Ba Lubinda leave the stage when we are still clapping you.Kabimba is dull leader evenif you continue politics he will make sure things are tough for you.
We need fresh beginning instead of continuing with the dirty games of 2012.pardoning of female prisoners would have been more meaningful if PF cleansed itself of their strong sentiment to revenge at all cost.charity begins at home.my advice to Lubinda is that do not trust people anyhow but seal your lips and cling to Jesus the only faithful friend when all earthly ones betray you by pretending to sympathize after which they sell you out to the media or your bosses if ever you have any.Abandon yo fight to the Lord.In situations like this,mind what you share even with family members because some dont mean well for you or might share with their friends who could be planted.people have shared their views about this issue and hence the best is to wait for their decision while you cling to the Lord,but the final decision after the outcome is dependent on you and what gives you peace after considering all the varying views.God bless.
Lubinda you are a great man and you have my vote but plz dont stand as an independent as it will be toooooooooooo difficult to counter check pf nonsense during vote counting,but if you join one of the leading opposition it gives you more support ant it will be very easy to organise the ant rigging squard, or use mapatizya formular .
3 ways to deal with thugs=(a)aways bring them to surface as they like hiding .(b)read their moves befor they act and then you deffensively counter attack.(c)be colourless meaning you need to be able to ajust your moves at any given millisecond,when they get confused,move faster be they get back to their half normal sense

If it would suffice to block the return packets from your host back to the IP in question, you could null route their /32:

Forums poster BaconBits posted a thread about walking canes a while ago, and it was clearly ahead of its time. These days, canes dominate the news, from smoking advocate/formidable Ron Paul adversary Herman Cane to Big Daddy Cane, one of the few surviving lady-friendly '80s/'90s rappers, to "Where is Cane!?!", the question everyone will be asking in near-future Detroit. (The age of the Intergalactic Pimp Cane has not yet arrived.) Anyway, while shopping for a bull penis cane, BaconBits came across a handy guide for cane connoisseurs (caneoisseurs?) such as himself. He spruced up this already snazzy infographic, and the SA Goons followed suit.

Garage door cable off roller
The cable on the left side of my garage door has come off the roller allowing it to drop with no lift assist from the tension spring (center mounted). The door is cocked pretty badly so the top left keeps running into stuff as I raise it. By pushing down on the right side I can get the door straight enough to move it base the obstacles.
Once I get the door to the top is there anything special I have to do to get the cable back on the roller? Seems like I could just wrap it on (assuming I can get behind the door to do that). Anything else I should know?
i've had success with vicegrips clamped to the track,pulling down on the door giving some slack on the messed up cable drum. then winding the cable onto the drum manually then removing the vicegrips. good luck!!!
You need to hold the door up with some type of a prop, (2x4) (I've also used the vice-grip in the track trick, but this has been known to fail at an inopportune time)
turn the shaft on the spring/reel mechanism to take tension off of the cable,
inspect the cable for damage (a broken strand calls for replacement),
shift the cable back onto the reel, taking care not to nick or otherwise damage the cable,
ensure the entire cable is neatly wound around the reel without overlapping itself,
check the other reel to ensure it has not fouled while tension was removed,
reapply cable tension,
recheck the reels for cable fouling,
remove the door prop.

State Department:
Challenges Facing the Bureau of Diplomatic Security
GAO-10-290T: Published: Dec 9, 2009. Publicly Released: Dec 9, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4268
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony discusses the Department of State's (State) Bureau of Diplomatic Security (Diplomatic Security), which is responsible for the protection of people, information, and property at over 400 embassies, consulates, and domestic locations. Since the 1998 bombings of U.S. Embassies in East Africa, the scope and complexity of threats facing Americans abroad and at home has increased. Diplomatic Security must be prepared to counter threats such as crime, espionage, visa and passport fraud, technological intrusions, political violence, and terrorism. The statement today is based on a GAO report that was issued on November 12, 2009. It will discuss (1) the growth of Diplomatic Security's missions and resources and (2) the challenges Diplomatic Security faces in conducting its work. To address these objectives in our report, GAO (1) interviewed numerous officials at Diplomatic Security headquarters, several domestic facilities, and 18 international postings; (2) analyzed Diplomatic Security and State budget and personnel data; and (3) assessed challenges facing Diplomatic Security through analysis of interviews with personnel positioned domestically and internationally, budget and personnel data provided by State and Diplomatic Security, and planning and strategic documentation. GAO conducted this performance audit from September 2008 to November 2009, in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that GAO plans and performs the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. GAO believes that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives.
Since 1998, Diplomatic Security's mission and activities--and, subsequently, its resources--have grown considerably in reaction to a number of security incidents. As a consequence of this growth, we identified several challenges. In particular (1) State is maintaining a presence in an increasing number of dangerous posts, which requires additional resources; (2) staffing shortages in domestic offices and other operational challenges--such as inadequate facilities, language deficiencies, experience gaps, and the difficulty of balancing security needs with State's diplomatic mission--further tax Diplomatic Security's ability to implement all of its missions; and (3) Diplomatic Security's considerable growth has not benefited from adequate strategic guidance. In our report, we recommend that the Secretary of State--as part of the agency's Quadrennial Diplomatic and Development Review (QDDR) or separately--conduct a strategic review of Diplomatic Security to ensure that its missions and activities address its priority needs.

I am of the opinion that this is our savings grace,, we should have some real information by this time next year,, in mass quantities, we can market this all over the world and there is an immediate need, just like the eye deal,, we have use in the hospitals every single day,, I'll be really curious as to the shelf life for these puppies as they will be pure and sterile,,
Sentiment: Hold

Hey J,, no,, on call this weekend,,
Thought Dr. Lanza said this is 5-10 years from being viable. Could be wrong though. The RPE + veterinary are a lot closer to production. I remember something to the effect that they need to up the platelet count per megakaryocyte by an enormous factor before this could be a profitable, mass-producible product, but IIRC, the platelets created have equivalent phenotype to normal platelets.
I would think there is a higher demand for platelets than correcting eye sight. It will be huge!
What ignoramus moron gave me a thumbs down. What I said is true.

Find out how to add stylized dropdown menus to your web site using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Working in Dreamweaver, author Chris Converse breaks down the menu design process, explaining how to build a menu foundation using unordered lists, establish hierarchy with nested submenus, apply styling using CSS rules, and incorporate dropdown functionality using a jQuery plug-in.
To preview the finished project, visit: http://codifydesign.com/chris/lynda/samples/course-0015
This course was created and produced by Chris Converse. We are honored to host his material in the lynda.com online training library.
Now to begin our project, let's create a folder on the Desktop. We will call this myMenu. I am going to just resize this and move it over here a little bit. Inside of here, we are going to create two additional folders, one called includes, one called images. Now let's come back to the exercise files, let's come in to folder 1, Files to add. Let's take the index.html file, let's copy that into the main folder. Let's come back, open up add to includes, let's grab all of the files inside of here, and let's drag a copy of these into the includes folder that we created inside of the myMenu folder.
Now inside of here we have a copy of jquery-1.7, a copy of the dropmenu plug-in, a menu CSS file for IE7 and 8, a menu.css, which basically creates the layout for the outermost page that we are going to be working inside of, and a menu.js file, there's nothing inside of this JS file here, but it is hooked into the index.html file. Now with these files in place, we can open the index.html file up in a browser, and we will see our base layout working here. We have all our content that sort of flows around inside of here, and up here is where the background graphics are going to showing inside of the header area.
And now that we have the base layout in place, in the next movie, we will work on some graphics for the layout.

Hi, my daughter, Megan, is more involved than I but she tells me how, why, what the company is doing to help challenged individuals. I'm involved with a woman at our church and she is a great person, because she is in a program that helps her not hinders her and that is what E&CO;does. I've attended some of your fund raisers; they've been welcoming and a lot of fun. I'll continue to help where I can. Laura Stephens

Got this as a GWP, along with Lash Primer Plus. This mascara (Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting) will not smudge, even if I pull at my lashes (I use it with the primer). My lashes are indeed lifted and look like I've used a lash curler. Non-clumping brush, even without wiping it off on a tissue.
EDIT: I've slept in this & it didn't smudge.

This mascara does the trick for all types of lashes: short, long, thick, thin, full sets, light sets. It works by curling and giving an intense bold black look, I never have to use eyelash curlers again thanks to this mascara.
Some tips to consider for best results:
-start at the base of your lashes and lightly twist the brush while pulling up for a noticeable lift.
- hold the brush for an extra three seconds at the tip of your lashes for a beautiful curl.
- to avoid "spider lashes" or clumping wiggle the brush through your lashes for an envy-worthy voluminous look.

oh my god, HG HG HG. this mascara is amazing! i always get compliments on my eyes when i wear this! it doesn't clump and it definetely doesnt give me spider lashes. i find this really easy to take off aswell. and best of all, IT DOESNT FLAKE ! my eyelashes look amazing with this. If you want to buy this ask for the old formula not the new one.

I didn't like this mascara. It gave me "spider lashes" and I didn't like the brush, tapered is clearly for getting the tiny lashes but because I have shorter lashes the long brush really is awkward for me. It also seemed hard to take off. It did seem like a nice consistency however, not too clumpy.

This is now definitely HG!Definitely my new HG mascara. Well I have two HG'S now and this is one.
I got a small tube of it in the estee lauder spring gift with purchase, and boy am I glad!
This product is able to give me the most payoff with the least amount of work in comparison to all of the mascaras that I've tried. The brush is perfect for getting every single lash with little trouble in the inner eye area, and it never clumps up on me. It definitely lifts like they suggest- my eyes instantly look wider and more awake with one application. It has to be the most complete mascara: curls beautifully, it is really black, gives amazing length and thickness, the brush combs in a great way separating lashes really well, washes off easily, and also I adore the packaging (the golden tube breathes luxury).not tacky like million lashes lol
I've had compliments like "oh you're lashes look so long!".

I got this mascara as a sample in my Loose Button Luxe Box (Canadian version of Birch Box) and I love it! The brush is tapered, so it is more narrow towards the end of the brush so you can reach the lashes near the inner corner of your eye.
The formulation isn't too thick so it won't clump your lashes and it applies easily.
It does volumize and lift a bit, but you won't notice too much lengthening action.
Overall, I think this is a good product, and I'll be purchasing it in full size!

I tried many mascaras from high end to low end and sadly this one is a bad choice for me. I have very short thin asian lashes. Seeing all the good reviews on this i spurge on this. This truly dissapointed me because it does not hold a curl!!!!!! I always curl my lashes with my shu mechanical eye lash curler and after applying this, this mascara undo my curl. It does volumize and it does lengthen my lashes a bit but this undo my curl and after about 5 hours i notice a little bit of smudging on my outter lower lash line. I gave this mascara many chances and I am finally tossing it away. There's drugstore mascara that are much better than this like covergirl lash blast.

I got this as a sample as a part of an EL campaign. It is a good mascara, however IMHO Lancome do better mascaras. It does its job in building your lashes but other mascaras (such as Hypnose from Lancome) do it better.

HG! HG! HG! As you might have noticed, I am totally blown away with this mascara. I don't need to curl my lashes anymore. 2 coats makes my lashes loooong, curled. No clumping too! I've actually had people (mainly my husband) can't get over how curled and lush my lashes look. This is a first for me. I truly think my search for my perfect mascara is over. Highly recommended!

This is an awesome mascara. I got it as a GWP. I usually don't buy high end mascara's because I think there are some really good drugstore products out there for a good price. I just might have to hit the Estee Lauder counter for this when I use up may sample.
This give great length and volume. My lashes look BANG, BOOM, POW!
