ROYAL ANNIVERSARY : Duchess Catherine of Cambridge Wedding Style.
How are you all doing? Happy New Monday and happy new month in advance!!!
I know you all are more than kind to stick around during this period of my total business!!
So I decided to share with you all some amazing Pictures from the Royal Wedding, since yesterday was the wedding anniversary. I can remember myself wanting so much to be in the U.K at that time, but due to school and uni championship over here in Greece for me, I could leave with my Bestie over there and believe it or not she was actually one of those "crazy" people that tented outdoor then. Its sounds crazy but I was glad for her because she is sort of the crazy kind and that's why she is kind of my bestie. So enough cha cha cha for now, enjoy the pictures and do you recall how you felt back then?

Strawberries for Pearly White Teeth
Hello my Damsels!!!
How are you all doing?
Hope you week has been good so far!
Mine has been great and am so loving the weather getting a bit
better with time I hope it will fix and give us back our traditional Greek Bright and Shining sun.
So the week on my way to work, since I now have to be on the road by 7 AM every morning, I keep running into the track that delivers the goods of the Grocery store on my street, and guess what caught my eyes?
I love them so much, but I always wait till its their season before consuming them though.
So cutting the long story short, I remember I wanted to share this little known to many beauty "Secret" with you.
How to achieve Pearly white teeth, without having, to spend a fortune at the scary dentist office.
Pearly white teeth are the next best accessory to sporting diamonds, so grab a handful of strawberries for a quick and easy fix to dingy teeth. Strawberries are not only delicious but they are also a natural way to whiten your teeth if you didn't know.
Teeth Whitening Treatment:
1. Mash up two strawberries
2. Use the strawberry pulp as toothpaste
3. Brush your teeth with your new red toothpaste and voila! Whiter teeth!
Careful with the Berries!!!! The acid in the strawberries can weaken enamel over time, so you might not want to overdo it.
Love you all my lovelies for sticking around and for your support.
Hello and big shout out to all my new readers and followers too.
Hope you enjoy your stay and stick around to increase our company.
Check out all your blogs too , of course.
Smouts Smaats!!!

Report says Malik directs radical Islamic movement's investments
NEW YORK – President Obama's half-brother in Kenya could cause the White House more headaches over new evidence linking him to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and establishing that controversial IRS supervisor Lois Lerner signed his tax-exempt approval letter.
Malik Obama's oversight of the Muslim Brotherhood's international investments is one reason for the Obama administration's support of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to an Egyptian report citing the vice president of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt, Tehani al-Gebali
In a news report on Egyptian television of a Gebali speech, translated by researcher Walid Shoebat, a former Palestinian Liberation Organization operative, Gebali said she would like "to inform the American people that their president's brother Obama is one of the architects of the major investments of the Muslim Brotherhood."
"We will carry out the law, and the Americans will not stop us," she said. "We need to open the files and begin court sessions.
"The Obama administration cannot stop us; they know that they supported terrorism," she continued. "We will open the files so these nations are exposed, to show how they collaborated with [the terrorists]. It is for this reason that the American administration fights us."

Shoomon Perry and Anika Teske decided to set up Coloursoup after experiencing these problems first hand. They wanted to create an online gallery that stocks consistently great affordable art, and that gives a fairer deal to artists and customers.
Coloursoup (http://www.coloursoup.com)
4 Reasons to buy art from Coloursoup:
1) All paintings, drawings and prints on the site are selected by a panel of distinguished artists - including two current members of the Royal Portrait Society
2) Coloursoup's commission rate is significantly lower than a high street gallery - meaning that customers get more painting for their money, and artists get a fairer deal
3) The site ships worldwide - deliveries in the UK are free
4) All artworks sold come with a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee - if you aren't happy with how a piece looks when it's hanging in your home let them know and they will arrange a full refund.

If like me you've been tinkering with your Lumia 1020 smartphone and snapping some high-resolution photos over the holidays, you may be wondering whether Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 can handle such large photo sizes on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.
Let's say you want to capture photos of your product catalogue (using the Photo action on the Item card). When uploading large files such as high-resolution photos, Microsoft Dynamics NAV will show the following error:
The file that you are trying to use is too large. Clearly. Whilst Microsoft Dynamics NAV defaults to 4MB uploads on the Web client, you will be pleased to hear it takes just a minor tweak to your IIS configuration to support larger file uploads:
The new settings should take effect immediately without the need for an IIS or site reset.
Go ahead and try to upload a large file now and BANG! the upload succeeds.
You can read more about the maxRequestLength property here:
Best regards,
Lukasz Zoglowek and Mike Borg Cardona
Am I missing something? In the Request Filtering field, you advise to enter 100000000 (in bytes). This is only is only .01 GB. This is a lot less than the 4 GB limit. The max limit in that field is 4294967285 bytes which is 4 GB. You can't increase it.
Thanks for sharing your observation.
You are correct in that the example only raises the limit to around 100Mb.
This value makes sense when supporting the upload of high quality photos, as in the scenario described earlier. However, you are free to stretch this limit further depending on what kind of file transactions you need to support. Keep in mind that such fields are there for a reason, as they help control resource consumption and availability of your servers.

Vintage: 2011
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
From the valleys of California and Chile to the rolling hillsides of the Bordeaux region of France, the one red wine grape varietal you will find in abundance is the Cabernet Sauvignon. This darkly colored grape has been cultivated since the mid 18th century, when it was borne from a cross of fine Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc varietals. Since then, it has spread around the world and has been received with pleasure by wineries looking for a varietal which delivers excellence of flavor and aroma, whilst being hardy enough to resist frost and rot and other such difficulties. Indeed, Cabernet Sauvignon is probably the most recognizable red wine grape varietal on earth, and is easily distinguished by its high tannin level and acidic nature, which is often so beautifully mellowed by being blended with Merlot and other such grapes.
Region: California
When it comes to New World wine regions, it is widely agreed that many of the finest wines are grown and produced in California. The long stretches of coastline and the valleys and mountainsides which come off them are ideal areas for vine cultivation, and for over a century now, wineries have found a perfect home in the hot, dry state, with many of the wines produced here going on to reach world class status. The state is greatly helped by the brisk oceanic winds which cool the otherwise hot and dry vineyards, which hold mineral rich soils covering vast areas and featuring many established wineries. The state is split into four main regions, the largest by far being the central valley which stretches over three hundred miles in length.
Country: United States
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
Appellation: Napa Valley
Anybody with an interest in New World wines is surely in agreement with the fact that Napa Valley in California is now, without much doubt, one of the world's premier wine regions. With an ideal climate for viticulture, fertile and mineral rich soils, and a dedication for quality and expression of terroir, Napa Valley wines consistently impress on the world stage with their flavors, aromas and overall character. The wineries of the valley have had plenty of success with a wide range of grape varietals, which flourish in the heat and ripen fully in the Californian sunshine each year, and the innovation and experimentation undertaken by the vintners of the region has helped create a wine culture and reputation in the valley which is unique, yet classic – a perfect blend of the new and the old.

I'm trying to get this jQuery Feature Carousel - http://www.bkosborne.com/jquery-feature-carousel to display vertical instead of horizontal. I tried playing around with the CSS by altering the width and height of the #carousel-container and #carouse it but didn't really work properly (the effects display in one continuous line instead of rotating). I think it would require some editing in the jquery.featureCarousel.js file but I'm not sure what to edit. Hoping someone can help?
Thanks in advance.

There Is No Such Thing As Coincidence, Just The Illusion Of Coincidence
Okay after doing a fair amount of browsing apparently I'm not the only one who started a profile with some skepticism and apprehension. I'd like to consider myself a very fortunate individual with a clear vision in mind in terms of making education/career choices. Right now I'm on my way to being a RN BSN (only one year away from finishing my program and licensed!) and once I finish I plan on pursuing a doctorate and having a specialty in cardiology. Obviously education is an important facet of my life but it is secondary to the make up of people who I choose to have around me. I've never been one to surround myself with hoards of "friends." I'd like to think that the select people who have chosen me to be part of their lives as well as me being part of theirs, are individuals who not only carry significance but also unique character and insight. Well there is plenty I can say about myself here, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, but most of all the Important! From the looks of it match.com isn't short on women who like: dining out, exercising, movies/videos, outdoor activities, music and concerts, exploring new areas, dancing/clubbing, hanging out bars, star gazing, long walks on the beach, LOOKING AT MUTUAL MATCH PROFILES, etc. While all that is fun and good (and it really is, no sarcasm needed) I feel I can do anything with anyone as long as the chemistry is right! Let's face it, at some point we have all been on a date or "hung out" with someone who seemed great on the exterior but when it came down to it starting a conversation was largely an effort and filled with "Uhhhmmm yeah.." type of moments....yeah I'm not about that but then again who is anyways, right (unless awkward moments are your thing)?! In all honestly meeting a like minded woman who can speak their mind, listen, and give great feedback is a big win within itself for me and it's my belief that great looks will never hold precedence over great character, a positive attitude, and a magnetic personality. I have no delusions of meeting "the one" within the immediate future but what I do believe in is fate and the possibility of meeting the right person, at the right place, at the right time. With that being said I'm all for the experience of meeting new people and taking the opportunity to create memorable experiences in life with those who are willing to tag along for the ride! P.S.- It would be nice to meet a woman who LOVES to dance (particularly to Latin music) and is willing to do a little bit of teaching. By no means do I lack a sense of rhythm or was born with two left feet, just looking for some guidance and a good time that's all!!
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas
Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Weights / Machines

Middle of the Road
Globe trotting is definitely on the agenda once I'm finished with my BSN program, ideally I'd like to visit Spain, Italy, Greece, The Middle East, and RUSSIA!
I love watching the Travel Channel (No Reservations anyone?), Food Network, Discovery Channel. and generally just about all the shows FX puts out.
Call me a little crazy but going to the gym and exercising is what I consider "fun." Aside from being a regular at the gym, I've also been involved with Muay Thai Kickboxing for the past 6 years and Boxing for the last 2 years.

Installing Wordpress Step-by-Step WordPress is popular for any beginner can install it with ease. It involves a very simple process and we will be discussing the steps on how to install Wordpress on your own server, supposer you already have your own domain name and web hosting account: 1. Obtain a copy of the software. You can download this software from the Wordpress website. Go to the site, click the download tab and from there, you will see the link "DOWNLOAD.ZIP." Click on it, and save it on your computer. Once the program is downloaded, you"ll have to unzip and extract the files into a new folder in your pc. 2. Create an FTP Program. FTP means File Transfer Protocol that allows you to copy files from the computer towards your web hosting account. There are numerous FTP programs obtainable from the internet and some of them are free. One example of free FTP program is Filezilla. After you have created an FTP program, you need to get your FTP Access Information such as the domain name, username and password. These data's are needed to gain access and upload files to your web host. 3. Integrate your MySQL Database with your web host. You can find the link to install a MySQL database within the web hosting user interface. As soon as the database has been established, take note of the name, password, username and the hostname of the database. Normally, the hostname is the local host but to be sure; verify it with your web host to be sure. Key this information in the Config File. Key in the database name in "putyourdbnamehere." Do the same for the DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD and DB_HOST. If you"re finished, save the file as wp- config.php instead of wp-config-sample. 4. Upload the complete program from your computer to the host"s server. At this stage, you have to determine where you will position the program; you place it either in the root directory or in the sub-directory of the host server. Once you made up your mind up where to place the file, upload the entire files including the directories in the WordPress folder that you unzipped earlier into your desktop. 5. After you have installed the WordPress in the directory of your server, you may now open the internet browser and key in your domain name. In case you set up WordPress in the root- directory, key in http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/install.php but change mydomain.com with your website name. In case you set up WordPress in the sub-directory, key in http://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory/wp-admin/install.php but change mydomain.com with your website name and subdirectory with the name of the sub-directory you created. Once you enter the URL, WordPress will do the rest. Just go through the directions, and you"ll be done. RESOURCE BOX: After installing Wordpress and working your way through creating your website, promote your business website online with this step-by-step guide, SEO and Social Media Marketing Guide.

With broader available bandwidth, W-band wireless transmission has attracted a lot of interests for future Giga-bit communication. In this article, we experimentally demonstrate W-band radio-over-fiber (RoF) system employing single-sideband single-carrier (SSB-SC) modulation with lower peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) than orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM). To overcome the inter-symbol interference (ISI) of the penalty from uneven frequency response and SSB-SC modulation, frequency domain equalizer (FDE) and decision feedback equalizer (DFE) are implemented. We discuss the maximum available bandwidth of different modulation formats between SSB-SC and OFDM signals at the BER below forward error correction (FEC) threshold (3.8 × 10−3). Up to 50-Gbps 32-QAM SSB-SC signals with spectral efficiency of 5 bit/s/Hz can be achieved.
© 2014 Optical Society of America
1. Introduction
With the increasing demand of broadband wireless communications, millimeter wave communication such as V-band (57-64 GHz) and W-band (75-110 GHz) have attracted a lot of interests to provide more than 10-Gbps wireless applications due to larger bandwidth. However, the nature phenomenon of electromagnetic wave operating as high frequency will suffer high attenuation during wireless transmission. Therefore, radio-over-fiber (RoF) technology has been nominated as one of promising solutions for optical/wireless network to not only extend the coverage of V/W-band wireless signals but also to release the system complexities from base station to central office. Thus, V-band RoF systems with 7-GHz unlicensed band have been demonstrated by several methods [1,2]. Moreover, W-band with broader utilized bandwidth has also become a candidate to pursuit higher data rate. Recently, several W-band RoF systems have been proposed and experimentally demonstrated by using remote up-conversion with photonic transmitter-mixer, self-coherent heterodyne, and multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technology with coherent heterodyne or polarization division multiplexing [3–7]. Among the above literatures, 20-Gbps OOK wireless signal (from 83 to 103 GHz) by utilizing active near-ballistic uni-traveling-carrier photodiode was achieved with 25-km fiber transmission [4]. The maximum data rate in single-input single-output (SISO) was achieved to 40 Gbps by self-coherent heterodyne system [5]. To enhance the spectral efficiency, MIMO technique with coherent heterodyne and polarization division multiplexing were also demonstrated to achieve 108 Gbps and 120 Gbps with the same spectral efficiency of 4 bit/s/Hz, respectively [6,7]. Recently, OFDM-RoF employing direct-detection (DD) technology was proposed to not only reduce the complexities of system but also to achieve high spectrally-efficient signals transmission [8]. Nevertheless, OFDM signals have higher peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR), which results in performance degradation.
In this paper, we propose single-sideband single-carrier (SSB-SC) modulation [9,10]. The SSB-SC signals not only has better spectral efficiency than double-sideband single-carrier (DSB-SC) signals but also has lower PAPR than OFDM signals. Hence, the higher average power can be provided by the SSB-SC signals within the linear modulation region of the W-band RoF system. Moreover, frequency domain equalizer (FDE) and decision feedback equalizer (DFE) are implemented to overcome inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by W-band frequency response and the SSB-SC modulation. With 32-QAM SSB-SC signals occupied from 98 to 108 GHz, up to 50-Gbps data rate with the bit error rate (BER) below forward error correction (FEC) threshold (3.8 × 10−3) can be achieved following 25-km fiber and 2-m wireless transmission. To the best authors' knowledge, the highest spectral efficiency of 5 bit/s/Hz can be attained in W-band RoF communication system.
2. Single-Sideband Single-Carrier Modulation
Figure 1 depicts the block diagrams of the SSB-SC signals generation and demodulation, which are mainly composed of three parts: SSB-SC modulation/demodulation, RoF transmission system, and decoding with the equalizers. The binary data streams are generated and mapped to QAM formats which consist of in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) signals at baseband, which can be represented as . S(t) can be rewritten with discrete time as:9,10], the generated SSB-SC signals, St,SSB(f), can be expressed as following equations:Fig. 2. These three signals are up-converted to the center frequency of fRF (i.e. fRF = 21.5 GHz) by I/Q up-conversion. Normally, compared with the DSB-SC signals, the SSB-SC signals can carry the same data information with the half of bandwidth. The spectral efficiency of SSB-SC signals will be higher than the DSB-SC signals. Figure 2(d) shows the simulated complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of 16-QAM SSB-SC and OFDM signals with 10-GHz bandwidth. The subcarrier number of the OFDM signal is 426. At the probability of 10−3 in CCDF of PAPR, the SSB-SC signals have lower PAPR value of 3.5 dB than the OFDM signals. Hence, the SSB-SC signals can has less signal distortion from the nonlinear effect of the RoF system. For SSB-SC signals demodulation, the received signals are down-converted and demodulated by the corresponding SSB-SC matched filter. The signal can be expressed [9,10] as:9]. The signal can be rewritten in the discrete time and expressed as:Eq. (6), the in-phase and qudrature-phase signals of the received signals will be inherently influenced by each other, which depends on the design of the SSB-SC matched filter. Although we can choose suitable filter for SSB matched filter to reduce the inherent ISI, it cannot be removed completely. In this work, two kinds of equalizers (i.e. FDE and DFE) are implemented to mitigate the ISI at receivers [11].

3. Experimental setup
Figure 3 shows the experimental setup of the 103-GHz RoF system. The optical transmitter is composed of two single-electrode Mach-Zehnder Modulator (SD-MZMs) and an electrical I/Q mixer [8]. The I- and Q-channel of the SSB-SC signals are generated at baseband by an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) with a sampling rate of 12-GHz. The generated SSB-SC signals are up-converted to 21.5-GHz via an electrical I/Q mixer, and then combined with 38.5-GHz sinusoidal signal as driving signal of 1st SD-MZM. The bias voltage of 1st SD-MZM is set at the null point to achieve the optical double-sideband with carrier suppression scheme as shown in the inset (i) of Fig. 3. In order to overcome power fading induced by fiber dispersion, a 50/100 interleaver is utilized as an optical filter to remove non-required optical sidebands as shown in the inset (ii) of Fig. 3. After an Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), the optical SSB-SC signals and the rest of optical carriers are modulated with 21.5-GHz sinusoidal signal to achieve frequency multiplication by the 2nd SD-MZM as shown in the inset (iii) of Fig. 3.
Fig. 3
After 25-km fiber transmission and photo detection (PD) at remote unit, the beating term of one optical SSB-SC signal and one optical carrier will contribute to the electrical SSB-SC signal at the center frequency of 103-GHz. After amplifier, the signal is fed into rectangular waveguide-based standard horn antenna with 24-dBi gain for 2-m wireless transmission. The wireless signal is received by the same kind of horn antenna at wireless receive unit and then down-converted to 8.5-GHz via an electrical mixer with 94.5-GHz sinusoidal signal. The down-converted signal is captured by the oscilloscope with 80-GHz sampling rate. The corresponding spectrum is shown in inset (iv) of Fig. 3. Subsequently, the SSB-SC signals are demodulated by the off-line Matlab® DSP programs. The bit error rate (BER) is determined by error counting.
4. Experimental Results
Figure 4 shows the BER curves of 16-QAM SSB-SC and OFDM signals with 10-GHz bandwidth. Both signals have the same data rate of 40 Gbps and can achieve the BERs below FEC threshold of 3.8 × 10−3. Moreover, there are no significant power penalties for both SSB-SC and OFDM signals after 25-km fiber transmission. Notably, the SSB-SC signals have 3.5 dB better in power sensitivity than the OFDM signals at the BER of 3.8 × 10−3. This is because the SSB-SC signals have lower PAPR as shown in Fig. 2, resulting in higher signal to noise ratio (SNR). The corresponding constellation diagrams of SSB-SC and OFDM signals for BTB case and 25-km fiber transmission are shown in the insets (a) to (f) of Fig. 4. For the SSB-SC signals, the FDE and DFE are utilized to mitigate the ISI. Figures 4(c) and 4(e) show the constellation diagrams for the demodulated SSB-SC signals only with FDE. Figures 4(d) and 4(f) show the constellation diagrams with FDE and DFE. To achieve higher spectral efficiency, higher order data format is further investigated. Figure 5 shows the BER curves of SSB-SC and OFDM signals by using 32-QAM data format. For the SSB-SC signals, they can achieve the BER below FEC threshold with 10-GHz bandwidth. The attained data rate is 50-Gbps following 25-km fiber transmission. However, for the OFDM signals, if the bandwidth is more than 7.3 GHz, they cannot achieve the BER below FEC threshold. Therefore, the maximum bandwidth of the 32-QAM OFDM signals is 7.3 GHz, and the corresponding data rate is 36.5 Gbps. For the BTB case and 25-km fiber transmission, Figs. 5(a) and 5(b) show the corresponding constellation diagrams for the OFDM signals, and Figs. 5(c) to 5(f) show the corresponding constellation diagrams for the SSB-SC signals with the equalizers
Fig. 4
Fig. 5
To discuss the maximal data rate for the SSB-SC and OFDM signals in the proposed W-band RoF system, we study the BERs versus different bandwidths and modulation formats (16 QAM, 32 QAM, and 64 QAM) at optimal optical received power following 25-km fiber transmission as shown in Fig. 6(a).For the same bandwidth of 10 GHz, the highest data formats for the SSB-SC and the OFDM signals below the BER FEC threshold are 32 QAM and 16 QAM, respectively, and the corresponding data rates are 50 Gbps and 40 Gbps, respectively. Consequently, due to lower PAPR, the SSB-SC signals have better SNR to support one higher order of data format than OFDM signals with the same bandwidth. In order to increase the spectral efficiency, higher data formats are utilized. Since higher data formats require higher SNR requirements, the maximum bandwidths below FEC threshold need to be decreased. For the 32-QAM OFDM signals, the available bandwidth is 7.3 GHz, and the data rate is 36.5 Gbps. For the SSB-SC signals, 64-QAM data format can be used within 7-GHz bandwidth, and the data rate is 42 Gbps. Notably, there is only 0.3-GHz bandwidth difference between 64-QAM SSB-SC and 32-QAM OFDM signals.
Fig. 6
Figure 6(b) shows the attained data rates versus different signal bandwidths for OFDM and SSB-SC signals following 25-km fiber transmission. According to Fig. 6(a), the maximum data rate can be achieved by selecting the optimal data format in each bandwidth. For the SSB-SC signals, the maximum data rates are from 36 Gbps to 50 Gbps as the bandwidths range from 6 GHz to 10 GHz. The corresponding data rates of the OFDM signals are from 30 Gbps to 40 Gbps. Moreover, the bit-loading with water-filling algorithm can be applied to adjust the power weighting factors and re-allocate the data formats among the subcarriers of the OFDM signals. Therefore, the maximal data rate of 10-GHz OFDM signal with bit-loading and water-filling algorithm can be improved from 40 Gbps to 46.4063 Gbps [8]. Compared with the data rate of OFDM signals, the data rate of SSB-SC signals is still 3.5937-Gbps higher than that. Consequently, up to 50-Gbps data rate by using SSB-SC signals can be achieved, and the corresponding spectral efficiency is 5 bit/s/Hz.
5. Conclusion
In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate the SSB-SC signals transmission in W-band RoF system. Since the SSB-SC signals have lower PAPR than OFDM signals, the SSB-SC signals have better SNR to support one higher order of data format than OFDM signals without bit loading in the same bandwidth. After 25-km fiber and 2-m wireless transmission, the maximum data rate of 50-Gbps with 5 bit/s/Hz spectral efficiency can be attained by using 10-GHz 32-QAM SSB-SC signals at the center frequency of 103 GHz.

Friendly staff and nice clean quiet accommodations.
No problems to remark on
Hotel staff said they would have exchanged the room except there were no rooms available, the hotel was completely booked. Staff was decent about the request.
We made a reservation for a non-smoking room but the room was a smoking room. Cigarrette smoke makes my daughter and I sick. The hotel room just reeked of cigarette smoke so bad that my daughter and I could not even be in the room.
Room was clean and tidy
Reception wasn't very friendly
The room and bed were very comfortable. The employees were very friendly and helpful. There were plenty of towels!
The shower head is too high and the water pressure was low. I would have liked a bigger tv, because the bed is quite a distance from the tv.
Very friendly staff. Great location across street from Murray State campus. Hotel of choice when visiting.
Small room, very clean, efficient.
Door uses old time key. Not easy to lock.
Close proximity to the college and restaurants.
No bathroom counter space just a sink attached to the wall. The bathroom door wouldn't close. Very outdated. Had to ask for an iron and ironing board. Heating system was terrible either too hot or too cold all night.
price was good. cable had decent channels.
eggs and sausage were horrible and wouldn't feed to my dog for breakfast. No beer in pool area? Have never ran in to that anywhere before. Screens on outside of windows looked as if someone tried to break into every room. Sounded like cattle grazing in the room above me all night. Never complained to front desk about the tweekers that didn't sleep and stomped across the floor every 10 min. Stay away from room 110, floor above is noisy.
They charged me extra. I booked the room for 146, and was charged 157 on my card.
Lowest price that I could find in Murray, KY
The hotel mgmt. did not offer ant special rates for AAA, AARP or military
Room was clean and spacious
There was no hot water and the toilet ran all the time.

A reflective window for providing an indirect optical path to an object including an array having a plurality of reflective elements, each being disposed at an acute angle to the plane of the window and parallel to each of the other reflective elements; each of the reflective elements having a length, along its dimension which intersects with the plane of the window, capable of producing on the window a projection which is at least as great as the distance between each pair of the reflective elements, each of the reflective elements having first and second reflective surfaces for receiving radiation on its first reflective surface and reflecting it to the second reflective surface of one adjacent reflective element and for receiving on and reflecting from its second surface radiation from the first reflective surface of another adjacent reflective element.
1. An indirect reflective viewing window for use in a metal-film deposition chamber for providing an unobstructed, indirect, clear and undistorted wide area view of the interior of the chamber and for preventing metal-film deposits from interfering with the reflective viewing of the chamber interior, comprising:
mounting means for attaching to the inside transparent portion of the chamber wall; and
an array carried by said mounting means on the inside of the chamber and including more than two planar reflective elements, each being disposed at an acute first angle to the plane of the window and parallel to each other; each of said reflective elements extending downwardly toward the base of the chamber in overlapping relationship to prevent deposits from forming on the area of the inside surface of the chamber where they are mounted, each of said reflective elements having first and second reflective surfaces for receiving radiation on its first said reflective surface and reflecting it to the second surface of one adjacent said reflective element and for receiving on and reflecting from its said second surface radiation from the first reflective surface of another adjacent reflective element, so that said radiation may then exit the chamber on a path parallel to the incident radiation.
2. The window of claim 1 in which said window is formed as an integral unit and includes a plurality of intermediate elements arranged one formed from a transparent material and said intermediate element interconnecting each adjacent pair of said reflective elements.
3. The window of claim 2 in which said transparent elements have second parallel planar surfaces which are disposed at a second angle to the plane of said window, said second angle being greater than said first angle and not more than 90�.
4. The window of claim 3 in which said second angle is a right angle.
5. The window of claim 1 in which said first angle is approximately 45 degrees.
6. The window of claim 1 in which said reflective elements are initially transparent.
This invention relates to an improved, compact reflective window for providing an indirect optical path to an object, and more particularly to such a window for use in a deposition chamber to prevent deposits from interfering with the viewing of the chamber interior.
It is often necessary to obtain a full view of an object or otherwise establish an optical path to a point without using a direct optical path. For example, an indirect optical path is useful to enable viewing of a radioactive substance by means of visible radiation while at the same time providing a protective screen or block against radiation which is not reflected such as alpha, beta or gamma rays. Another example relates to a deposition chamber where the window, used to view the deposition operation and the object on which the deposition is being made, quickly becomes covered by the deposition action so that the view is blocked. Prior art attempts to circumvent this problem have either used a blocking member to place the viewing window in the shadow of the depositing source or used mirrors in a periscope arrangement. The periscope arrangement relies on the fact that the deposition improves, not detracts from the reflective properties of the mirrors. However, both of these approaches have serious shortcomings. Only a limited number of positions are available from which to make observations. The reflecting and blocking elements require specific placement to afford the proper view and have appreciable size; both considerations diminish the effective utilization of the space within the chamber. The viewing angle is quite narrow and the viewing positions are limited so that a comprehensive view of the entire chamber and contents is difficullt to obtain. Illumination of the chamber interior through a periscope arrangement cannot satisfactorily be done simultaneously with viewing the interior.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an improved, compact reflective window for providing an indirect optical path.
It is a further object of this invention to provide such a window which provides a wide field of view from a plurality of positions.
It is a further object of this invention to provide such a window which enables simultaneous viewing and illumination and which provides a large viewing area in a minimum of space.
The invention results from the realization that a blocked or protected indirect viewing window can be created from a plurality of relatively small, parallel, closely spaced reflective elements which give a broad unrestricted field of view from a wide range of viewing positions with minimum interference with the operation and structure of associated devices.
This invention features a reflective window for providing an indirect optical path to an object. The window includes an array having a plurality of reflective elements each disposed at an acute angle to the plane of the window and parallel to each other. Each of the reflective elements has a length, along its dimensions which intersects with the plane of the window, capable of producing on the window a projection which is at least as great as the distance between each pair of the reflective elements. Each of the reflective elements has first and second reflective surfaces for receiving radiation on the first surface and reflecting it to the second reflective surface of a neighboring reflective element and for receiving on and reflecting from the second surface radiation from the first reflective surface of another neighboring reflective element.
In preferred embodiments the invention features a wide angle reflective indirect viewing window located in a deposition chamber, to prevent deposits occurring in the chamber from interfering with the viewing of the chamber interior. The reflective elements may be initially transparent and adapted to receive a reflective coating during the deposition process to provide the reflective surfaces.
Other objects, features and advantages will occur from the following description of a preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematized, front view of a deposition chamber employing the window of this invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion of the window of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1 showing a window having a different construction; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion of the window of FIG. 3.
Window 10, FIG. 1, may be used in a deposition chamber 12 comprising a glass bell jar 14 sealingly engaged with a base 16. Within the volume 18 enclosed by bell jar 14 is a source of metal vapor 20 suitably positioned on a support 22 to provide metal vapors for deposit on the work piece 24 disposed on support 26. Window 10 includes a plurality of reflector elements 30 arranged at an acute angle α, typically 45� to the plane W of window 10, which acts to screen or shield an area 17 from vapor deposition.
As shown in more detail in FIG. 2, reflector elements 30 are parallel to each other and are arranged so that the distance p of the projection of their length l is equal to or greater than the distance d between them. This ensures that there can be no direct line from the source to the area 17 screened or shielded by window 10. Elements 30 may be mounted directly on the glass bell jar 14 in the area 17 as shown in FIG. 1 or on a separate transparent mounting member 32 as shown in FIG. 2.
The arrangement of elements 30 prevents access to the area 17 by any metal deposits derived from metal vapors 34 from source 20 or any other radiations or emanations which are incapable of reflection, such as alpha, beta or gamma rays given off by radioactive substances. However, visible radiation and other emanations which are capable of reflection find an indirect optical path through window 10, through the functioning of elements 30. Element 30, as typified by element 30a, includes a first reflective surface 36 and a second reflective surface 38; radiation 40 striking first surface 36 of element 30a is reflected upwardly and is again reflected from the second reflecting surface 42 of element 30b and then out through the area 17. Similarly, radiation 44 strikes the first surface 46 of element 30c and then is again reflected off the second surface 38 of element 30a and then out through area 17. Thus while certain radiations and emanations ae prevented from passing through window 10, other radiations and emanations which are reflectable from elements 30 pass through window 10 in an indirect path. The desired radiation 40, 44 may be travelling from the interior in the direction shown by arrows 50 as in the case of this embodiment where the observer seeks to view the interior of the deposition chamber or may be directed in the other direction shown by arrows 52 when it is desired to illuminate an object within the chamber on the other side of the window or radiation may be passing in both directions. The ability to pass radiation in both directions simultaneously i.e. to illuminate the interior of the chamber and at the same time view it through the same window is useful when the bell jar or other housing is opaque or the chamber interior is dark for any reason.
Initially elements 30 have been referred to as reflector elements e.g. mirrors having two reflective surfaces. However, when used in a deposition chamber such as described herein they may be installed initially as transparent elements which after a short period of operation in the deposition chamber will have received a sufficient amount of metal depositions on their first surfaces, i.e. the surfaces 36 and 46 of elements 30a and 30c to make the elements into mirrors. The second surfaces such as 38 and 42 on elements 30a and 30b are provided by the underside of these depositions accessed through the transparent material of the element. In the event that the initial installation uses mirrors in a deposition chamber the subsequent operation of the deposition chamber will merely add to the reflective material on the elements and will now prevent the effective operation of the window.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3 where like parts have been given like numbers and similar parts like numbers primed, window 10' may be constructed with reflector elements 30' integrally formed and in combination with support 32'. The material of which window 10' is formed is transparent so that the two reflector surfaces are provided on each element 30' as typified by element 30a', FIG. 4, having a first surface 36' on the exposed portion of element 30a' and a second reflecting surface 38' on the internal side of element 30a'. Neighboring elements 30b' and 30c' having a second surace 42' and first surface 46' function, as explained in relation to FIGS. 1 and 2, to provide an indirect reflective path for radiation 40' and 44' through window 10'. Typically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, elements 30' are maintained at an acute angle, typically 45�, and the interconnecting elements 51 are at a larger acute angle β or even orthogonal to the plane W']of window 10'. If the interconnecting elements 51 are not strictly orthogonal to the plane W' of the window 10', but instead also make an acute ange β, where β>α, there is less likelihood that elements 51 will become filmed over and thus render the whole assembly opaque and useless. This could happen in some processes where the vapor pressure is high, or other appreciable gas pressure makes the path of the metal atoms other than line-of-sight such as in a sputtering chamber. Elements 30' may be initially prepared as reflectors or mirrors or if they are being used in a deposition chamber the deposition of the metal in such a chamber may be relied upon to provide the necessary reflecting film.
Other embodiments will occur to those skilled in the art and are within the following claims.

Last year I met with a team of leaders from my church. Our task: to rethink and rearticulate the guiding values of our congregation. The work was relatively easy. Upon investigation we determined that most of our core values hadn't shifted. We still believed in the centrality of relationships to ministry, our bent toward creativity, and the importance of participation. But then we came to "excellence."
For years our church has listed "excellence" as one of its core values. Support for this word, if not the idea behind it, has been slipping for years. A growing number of leaders are uncomfortable with excellence for a number of reasons. Perhaps the most common objection is that it's a more subtle way of saying we are perfectionists. Others object that the word is off-putting to people in the church that cannot achieve "excellence." It's exclusionary.
Defenders of the term say it has nothing to do with perfectionism or elitism, but a desire to "do our very best for God." And one person's very best may differ significantly from another's, but both are upholding the value of excellence. In the end the decision was made to change the articulation of the value and drop the word "excellence." But what word should we use?
Daniel Schantz recently wrote an insightful, dare I say excellent, article about the increasing discomfort with the notion of excellence in the church. You should read the entire piece at the Christian Standard website. Here is a brief excerpt:
The term excellence is often spoken by church leaders in condescending tones, as if to say, "Others may be content with being average slobs, but not us. We must have only the best." This can be a slap in the face to members who don't have the capacity or means to be excellent - the "good," the "fair," the "poor."
Can only good-looking, gifted singers serve on the worship team? Must church buildings resemble palaces in order to be useful? Do all preachers have to be Madison Avenue models, professional comedians, celebrities, best-selling authors, and able to speak five languages? The gospel was targeted to the poor, not just to the exceptional.
Schantz's article reads like a transcript from one of our church leadership meetings. He captures the arguments surrounding the term "excellence" perfectly. But the question remains - is there a positive alternative? What word should replace excellence in our ecclesiastical lexicon? Or, are you a true believer in excellence who is willing to fight the slippery slope of mediocrity? Read Schantz's article and come back with your comments and suggestions.

The Puck Stops Here
Playoff Ice Time Leader
by PuckStopsHere on 04/26/09 at 04:22 AM ET
Comments (0)
The leader in ice time (per game) so far in the playoffs is Paul Martin of the New Jersey Devils. He has played over 27 minutes per game. He is an underrated player who gets little written about him, so I thought I would write something. Martin has quietly developed into the best defenceman on the Devils team.
Martin consistently scores thirty or more points a season and puts up one of the better +/- ratings on his club, while playing against some of the top offensive players in the league. He has the best defenceman on the team with the fourth best defence in the league this year. He is the Devils go to guy in all situations - even in the playoffs. Paul Martin is one of the most unsung players around in the NHL today.

Colonial Country Club to offer free health and beauty expo
Longtime volunteer and Colonial Country Club member Jacqueline McGhee noticed a number of fitness opportunities popping up in her Cordova community over the past few years.
So the former event planner thought what better way to reach out to residents than to host an expo showcasing all it has to offer.
"There aren't a whole lot of expos of that sort going on right now in Memphis, so we thought it was a good way for people in the industry to get exposure," McGhee said.
On Tuesday, McGhee and the members of the country club will host the first Health, Beauty and Fitness Expo at the club on Countrywood Parkway.
The expo is from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. and is free to the public.
In addition to the 30-plus vendors exhibiting their products, the expo will feature fitness demonstrations such as Pilates, hula hooping and yoga; free makeovers, hairstylists, eye exams and glaucoma testing, a CPR class, and seminars on hormone replacement therapy, nutrition and other subjects.
"When we initially planned the event, we weren't expecting it to be this big, but there are so many opportunities in Cordova, we thought why not add health and beauty to it," Colonial marketing and membership director Amy Mobley said.
McGhee and her team chose Colonial in an effort to create more awareness about the century-old country club.
"We turn 100 years old this year, and we're about to go through a big renovation," Mobley said. "This way, people can come in and see the facilities and learn about what we have to offer. We have children's golf lessons, camps, swimming, tennis and racquetball. We have great programs that people don't know about."

Southeast Asia to have rights monitor
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon last month urged ASEAN to take a tougher line with Myanmar. But in the end, ASEAN leaders are only likely to prod their fellow member to accelerate its so-called "road to democracy," which includes elections in 2010.
"It is obvious that ASEAN is incapable of making any positive political change in the country. I don't have any high hopes," said Nyan Win, spokesman for Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party in Yangon, Myanmar.
ASEAN consists of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
