The present invention relates to apparatus for recovering the modulating signal from a modulated RF carrier signal and, more particularly, to a digital subharmonic sampling down-converter for converting an intermediate-frequency (IF) signal to baseband for subsequent demodulation, and using a sampling signal at a rate of 4/(2n+1) times the IF frequency, where n is an integer greater than zero.
It is well known to utilize a superheterodyne form of receiver, in which the received carrier signal is frequency converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) at which filtering and modulation detection are accomplished. It is highly desirable to provide the IF receiver portion, and especially the modulation detection portion thereof, in monolithic integrated circuit form.
One integratable demodulator is the baseband, or zero IF, FM demodulator described and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,755,761, issued July 5, 1988, assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. A zero-IF baseband demodulator receives the down-converted IF signal for application to a first input of each of first and second RF mixer means; a locally-generated LO signal at the carrier frequency is applied directly to a second input of one of the mixer means and is phase-shifted by 90� to provide a quadrature LO signal at a second input of the other mixer means. The baseband signals at the mixer outputs are respectively an in-phase signal and a quadrature-phase signal with spectra centered at a frequency of approximately zero Hz. After suitable lowpass filtering, a baseband in-phase I signal is provided at a first intermediate node, while a baseband quadrature-phase Q signal is provided at a second intermediate node. We denote the portion of the demodulator prior to the intermediate nodes as a converter, and denote the portion after the intermediate nodes as a detector. In an FM demodulator, the detector can be a discriminator, in which each of the I and Q signals is delayed by a time interval Δt to provide respective delayed in-phase signal I' or quadrature-phase delayed signal Q'. A first multiplier receives the delayed I' signal at a first input and the undelayed Q signal at a second input to provide at an output signal which is the QI' product, and is applied to a first input of a summation means. A second multiplier means receives the delayed Q' signal at its first input and the undelayed I signal at its second input for providing at its output a product IQ' signal, for application to a subtractive second input of the summation means. The difference signal at the summation means output is provided at the detector output, and is the modulation data which has been recovered from the frequency-modulated IF input signal. By alteration of the circuitry after the intermediate input nodes, either phase-shift keyed (PSK)or continuous-phase/frequency-shift-keyed (CPFSK) modulation, as well as other digital modulation forms, can be recovered.
It will be seen that such a demodulator utilizes a number of analog blocks; it is highly desirable to utilize digital signal processing to reduce the size, power and unit cost and increase the reliability of each of these blocks, as well as to facilitate the fabrication of a completely digital demodulator as part of a single integrated circuit chip. One promising digital demodulator is that of W. Rafferty et al., as described and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,647,864, issued Mar. 3, 1987, assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. This non-coherent digital demodulator of FM signals utilizes an analog-to-digital converter for converting the analog FM signal at the IF frequency to a sampled stream of digital data words, which are applied to a digital mixer for frequency-translation to baseband, and which provides the means for sorting the digital data word stream into separate I and Q data streams which comprise the baseband representation of the modulated waveform. The use of a converter outputting two baseband data streams is necessary in order to retain both the phase and frequency information contained in the IF signal. A subsequent digital non-coherent detector is used to extract a sine function whose argument is proportional to the modulating signal. This function provides a demodulator digital data output, which can, if required, be converted back to an analog signal to provide a demodulator analog output. While substantially of digital nature, the entire converter-discriminator apparatus was found to produce a pair of undesired output side lobes whenever the sampling frequency was not exactly equal to four times the carrier frequency, and was also found to contain a second pair of undesired sidelobes, if the aforementioned frequency offset was present and there also was any DC content in the IF input signal. These two problems, associated with the converter portion of the apparatus, can be solved with the use of a complex digital sampling converter, as described and claimed in U.S. application Ser. No. 280,073, filed Dec. 5, 1988, or a digital sampling down-converter with digital Hilbert transform filtering, as described and claimed in U.S. application, Ser. No. 321,697, filed Mar. 10, 1989, both assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein in their entireties by reference. In each of these applications, the down-converter must be supplied with a local-oscillator (L.O.), or sample CLK clock, signal at a frequency (fc) essentially equal to four times the center frequency (fIF) of the IF bandpass i.e. fc =4fIF. The maximum value of the clock frequency fc determines the maximum IF frequency fmax =fc/4 that can be used. This prevents higher IF signals frequencies from being used, unless an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with extended sampling capability is provided. Such high-sampling-frequency ADCs not only are expensive, power-consumptive and large, but also generally trade off accuracy (which may be necessary for a particular use) for the higher sampling speed. A highly desirable digital sampling down-converter will be capable of operating with input IF signals having a center frequency which is greater than one-fourth the sampling frequency.
In accordance with the invention, a digital subharmonic sampling converter, for use in an IF signal demodulator and the like, includes: an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) means receiving the IF analog signal for conversion to a digital data stream by sampling at a sampling rate frequency substantially equal to 4/(2n+1) times the IF signal frequency, where n is an integer greater than zero; digital mixer means for converting the sampled data to baseband; and means for sorting the interleaved sequential in-phase I data words and quadrature-phase Q data words into a pair of concurrent I and Q data word streams. Advantageously, means are present both for removing the effects of DC offset in the analog IF signal applied to the ADC, and for correcting misalignment errors in the concurrent I and Q streams.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel digital subharmonically sampled down-converter.
This and other objects of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description of the invention, when considered in conjunction with the associated drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of one possible digital sampling converter, to be operated in accordance with the principles of the present invention, for producing baseband I and Q signals.

FIGS. 4a-4c are demodulator output graphs, depicting recovered output voltage (V) versus input analog frequency fIF, respectively: for n=0 and 1; n=1 with reduced sampling rate; and n=2.
A present preferred embodiment of our novel subharmonically-sampling down-converter is illustrated with respect to the embodiment 10 shown in FIG. 1. The down-converter is usually used with a subsequent modulation detector, such as a digital frequency discriminator and the like, which uses an in-phase I data signal and a quadrature-phase Q data signal, respectively, provided at outputs of the down-converter. The fully-digital discriminator implementation in the Rafferty et al. patent can be, and preferably is, utilized for this discriminator, if a digital FM demodulator is to be implemented. The exemplary digital sampling converter means 10 receives an analog intermediate-frequency (IF) signal, at an IF frequency fIF, at a first input 10a, and receives a periodic sampling clock CLK signal, at a sampling clock frequency fc, at a second input 10b, to provide the pair of substantially simultaneous streams of I and Q data words at a pair of output terminals 10c-1 and 10c-2 which can be the inputs of the subsequent discriminator portion. Thus, converter 10 receives a (frequency-modulated) analog IF signal with a center, or carrier, frequency fIF, illustratively 4 MHz. In a down-converter of a previous patent application, the sampling clock CLK signal is received with a sample frequency fc always substantially equal to, and ideally exactly equal to, four times the IF carrier frequency (i.e. fc =4fIF), for producing the I and Q data streams at outputs 10c-1 and 10c-2, respectively, for introduction into the digital discriminator portion of the demodulator. The bandpass analog IF input signal is applied to the analog input 11a of a single ADC means 11, which receives the clock signals at a sampling-clock input 11b; in the previous converter, this provides four substantially-equally-spaced samples, each a digital data word of a plurality m of parallel data bits at a data output port 11c, during each cycle of the input analog signal. The clock signal can itself be the result of dividing a sampling signal, at a frequency fs, substantially equal to 4fIF, by a factor (2n+1), where n is an integer greater than zero; this division is carried out in a divider means 14. In actuality, means 14 is usually not present, and the clock CLK signal to input 10b has a frequency of 4fIF /(2n+1). Frequency translation of the sampled data to baseband is then performed by a digital mixer means 12. The stream of digital data words from ADC means 11 is provided to a first mixer means input 12a. The mixer has a local oscillator input 12b at which is received a square-wave signal at substantially the IF frequency fIF ; this square-wave signal is provided by dividing the clock CLK signal by a factor of 4, in a divide-by-four means 15. The baseband data signal, at digital mixer output 12c, is applied to a data input 16a of an optional DC offset removal means 16, which, if used, also receives the clock signal at a second input 16b. The output 16c of the DC offset removal means is a stream of digital data words from which the effects of any DC bias on the analog input signal has been removed. This data stream is provided to the input 18a of a I/Q sorter means 18, having a second input 18b receiving a substantially square-wave signal at one-half the clock CLK frequency, as provided by a divide-by-two means 20. Sorter means 18 sorts the time-sequential, interleaved data words in a manner such that a pair of sorted in-phase Is and sorted quadrature-phase Qs data words simultaneously appear at sorter outputs 18c and 18d. The sampled data words which arrive at input 18a in a single stream at the sample rate thus leave in a pair of streams, each at half the input sample rate (e.g. the Is and Qs words stream out at fc /2. An optional quadrature compensation means 22 receives the sorted Is and Qs data words and substantially removes the pair of modulated output side lobes which will normally occur if the sampling, or clock CLK, frequency fc is not exactly equal to four times the carrier frequency fIF of the IF signal input to the demodulator. If present, quadrature correction means 22 includes a compensate delay means 22-1, receiving the Is signal at a first input 22a for producing a delay-corrected in-phase I signal at a first output 22d, coupled to the complex digital sampler output node 10c-1, and also includes a misalignment correction means 22-2, receiving the Qs signal at a second input 22b and providing the quadrature-corrected, quadrature-phase Q data stream at an output 22d, for coupling to the complex digital sampler second output node 10c-2.
It will be seen that only a single ADC means 11 is utilized. Unlike the mostly-analog converter in some prior art demodulators, in this digital sampling converter analog mixers and a quadrature phase splitter are no longer needed. As the digital mixing process does not produce higher frequency terms, there is no longer any need for lowpass filters. Most importantly, there is no requirement for two totally separate channels, each containing a mixer, a filter and a ADC means so that the need for obtaining closely-matched phase and amplitude and response is removed. Further, simplification can be had by replacing means 18 and 22 with a digital Hilbert transform filter network, as described and claimed in the previously mentioned U.S. application Ser. No. 321,697.
The ADC sampling rate fc is selected by use of the sampling theorem for bandpass signals. For a signal in a bandpass having a lowest frequency fL of interest and a highest frequency fH of interest, the sampling criteria can be stated as: 2fL /n>fc >2fH /(n+1), and n=0,1,2, . . . ,K; with K being the number of sampling frequency bands allowable without occurrence of spectral aliasing. K is calculated from K=Int(fH /BW), where the bandwidth BW is (fH -fL) and the Int(x) function extracts the largest integer not greater than the argument (x). For example, if fH =4.1 MHz. and fL =3.9 MHz., then BW=0.2 MHz. and ##EQU1## Thus, there are 20 different sampling frequency fc ranges which can be used without spectral aliasing occurring. The first five ranges can be tabulated as follows:
______________________________________n MIN fc = 2fL /n MAX fc = 2fH /(n + 1)______________________________________0 INFINITY >fc > 8.2 MHz.1 7.8 MHz. >fc > 4.1 MHz.2 3.9 MHz. >fc > 2.73 MHz.3 2.6 MHz. >fc > 2.05 MHz.4 1.95 MHz. >fc > 1.64 MHz.______________________________________
It will now be seen that the digital sampling process used in the previous cases, i.e. fc =4fIF, has been in the n=0 range only.
FIG. 2 illustrates the complex digital sampling process, wherein an analog IF signal waveform 25, occupying a time interval T=1/fIF, is sampled once every τ=(1/fc) seconds. Illustrated is the n=0 case where sampling occurs four times during each cycle of the IF frequency, i.e. fc =4fIF. The first sample S1 produces a sampled signal 26 of a first amplitude, which is converted to a data word to be assigned to the in-phase I data stream. The next sample S2 occurs at time T/4 after sample S1, and produces a data sample 27 assigned to the quadrature-phase Q data stream. Thereafter, after another time interval T/4, a third sample S3 is taken; this is another I sample. Because the sample data 28 of sample S3 is now at a time interval T/2 after the initial I sample S1, it occurs during the opposite-polarity half-cycle from the S1 sample. Similarly, the fourth sample S4 is a next Q sample, provided at a time interval T/2 after the initial Q sample, so that the fourth sample data 28 occurs during the opposite-polarity half cycle from sample S2. Thereafter, the 4-sample-per-cycle process is repeated, with an I data stream sample S5, a Q data stream sample S6, and so forth. It will be seen that the third and fourth samples in each cycle are properly assigned to the respective I and Q data streams, but require multiplication by a factor -1 to convert the I and Q data streams to their equivalent baseband form. This multiplication is effectively implemented as a simple inversion of the two's-complement representation of the sample data. Therefore, the complex digital sampling process can be accomplished in three separate steps: (a) sampling of the input waveform at a sampling frequency which is four times its center, or carrier, frequency divided by a factor (2n+1), i.e. fc =4fIF /(2n+1); (b) inversion of alternate pairs of the sampled signals; and (c) proper splitting of the stream of data samples into in-phase I and quadrature-phase Q components. These three process steps are carried out; respectively in ADC means 11, digital mixer means 12 and I/Q sorter means 18.
Referring now to FIG. 2a, the sampling process for the prior-art n=0 quadrative sampling method is shown in signal space form with respect to the in-phase SI (t) component and the quadrature SQ (t) component, which completely characterize the bandpass signal. Contrary to the usual convention, the I and Q components of the signal vector are here assumed to be stationary and the sampling vector S(t) is assumed to rotate in the coordinate plane defined by the in-phase component SI (t) and the quadrature component SQ (t). It is assumed, without loss of generality, that an initial, or zero-th, sample occurs when the sampling vector S(t) is at a position of 0� on the signal plane, that a first sample occurs when the signal vector is at 90�, a second sample when at 180�, a third sample at 270�, and so forth, as shown in FIG. 2a for the first 16 samples (samples 0-15). This is substantially similar to taking signal vector samples projected onto an orthogonal basis vector set in that manner now well understood to correspond to the homodyne, or zero IF, architecture. This corresponds to the frequency-domain situation shown in FIGS. 2b-2d: the basic IF signal has a positive-frequency bandpass region 31 and a negative frequency bandpass region 32, each centered about the intermediate frequency (fIF), and forming mirror images of one another about the zero frequency axis 33 (FIG. 2b). As shown in FIG. 2c, the prior art n=0, four-samples-per-cycle process essentially generates sampling impulses at zero frequency (sampling impulse 35), positive-frequency sampling impulses at integer multiples of the sampling clock frequency fC (sampling impulses 36a, 36b, . . . ) and negative-frequency sampling impulses at integer negative multiples of the sampling frequency (sampling impulses 37a, 37b, . . . ). Convolution of the train of unit sampling impulse functions (FIG. 2c) and the bandpass signal spectrum (FIG. 2b) in accordance with the well known sampling method causes a sample bandpass signal to be replicated (FIG. 2d), about each of the sampling clock frequency impulses, with the positive bandpass frequency spectrum 31 appearing as positive-frequency spectrum 38 and negative bandpass frequency spectrum 32 appearing as negative-frequency spectrum 39, both about the DC frequency, and with other positive-frequency and negative-frequency bandpass regions appearing as upper sideband portions 41a, 41b, . . . and lower sideband portions 42a, 42b, . . . about positive-frequency impulses and as respectively lower frequency sidebands 43a, 43b, . . . and upper frequency sidebands 44a, 44b, . . . about negative-frequency impulse center frequencies. Passing the total signal of FIG. 2d through means 12 will multiply the spectrum by a positive-frequency lowpass function 45 and adjust the bottom of the bandpass spectrum 47 to zero baseband frequency, to yield a desired baseband signal, translated to zero frequency. Without loss of generality, it should be understood that this process occurs for both the I and Q data stream signals so that the real and imaginary IF signal components can be extracted for subsequent signal processing (e.g. demodulation).
Increasing the sampling time intervals from τ=1/(4fIF) to τ'=(2n+1)/(4fIF), with n being selected from the set (1, 2, 3, . . . , K), still allows the desired time multiplexed I/Q sampling process to be achieved, but with the minimum sampling rate being either reduced for a given IF frequency, or, conversely, with the maximum IF frequency being increased for a given sampling rate. For n=1, it may be assumed, without loss of generality, that the initial, or zero-th, sample occurs when the sampling vector is at a position of 0� on the signal plane, the next sample occurs at the 270� position, the third sample at the 180� position, the fourth at 90�, and so on. Thus, while the initial (zero-th) sample is an in-phase sample SI (t), the next sample is SQ - (t), followed by the SI - (t) sample and then the SQ (t) sample, with n=1 and the sampling rate equal to 4/3 times the IF frequency fIF. FIGS. 3b-3d illustrate the respective frequency spectra for a coherent IF-to-baseband translation process with a sampling rate fc =(4/3)fIF. Here, the center frequency of both the positive-frequency bandpass signal 51 and the negative-frequency bandpass signal 52, is only three-quarters of the sampling frequency. The sampling signal (FIG. 3c) still appears to be a succession of unit sampling impulse functions having a DC component 55, positive frequency components 56a, 56b, . . . (at positive integer multiples of the sampling clock frequency fc) and negative frequency components 57a, 57b, . . . (at negative integer multiples of the sampling clock frequency). In sampling, the bandpass signal is replicated about each of the sampling clock frequency impulses, but, because of the now-reversed sequence of sampling (indicated by the clockwise movement of sampling vector S'(t)), the negative bandpass frequency spectrum 52 appears as the now-positive bandpass spectrum 58 above the DC frequency 53. The reversal of upper and lower sidebands (61i, 62 i, 63i, 64i, where i=a, b, c, . . . ) for both positive and negative frequencies will be noted. Again, passing the total signal through the proper post-sampling network means will multiply the spectrum of the now-positive bandpass signal 58 with a positive-frequency lowpass function 65 and the digital mixing means will adjust the bottom of the bandpass to zero baseband frequency 67, to yield the extracted real and imaginary components for subsequent signal processing. It will be seen that, because the second sample corresponds to a sample of 270�, with a third sample at 180� and the fourth sample at 90�, there is an implication that the quadrature signal sample is effectively multiplied by -1; in the case of subsequent digital FM demodulation, the slope of the discriminator response curve that will be reversed. That this actually occurs is illustrated in FIG. 4a, wherein FM discriminator response is graphed with the instantaneous IF input frequency F being plotted along abscissa 71 and discriminator output V being plotted along ordinate 72. In the illustrated discriminator, a IF frequency of 4.0 MHz. is utilized. The known discriminator with sampling rate of fc =4fIF produces the response curve 73, which has an increasing output voltage V for increasing input frequency F, i.e. a positive slope. Utilizing our novel converter with a sampling frequency fc =(4/3)fIF produces response curve 74, whiCh has a central section 74a (between the lower IF passband frequency limit of 3.9 MHz. and the upper IF passband frequency limit of 4.1 MHz.) with a negative slope, which slope change results from the change of the time ordering of the quadrature samples. Thus, a 4 MHz. FM signal can be demodulated by use of a four-times clockrate fc =16 MHz., or by use of a four-thirds IF frequency clock, with a 51/3 MHz. clockrate (and, if necessary, a subsequent demodulator output signal polarity inverter). It will be seen that the sampling rate of the ADC is accordingly reduced by a factor (2n+1), e.g. a factor of 3 with n=1, for substantially the same functionality. Referring now to FIG. 4b, use of the same 16 MHz. sampling frequency can, if the ADC maximum input frequency allows, be used to down-convert a IF analog signal with a center frequency which is (2n+1) times greater than previous, i.e. the new fIF '=(2n+1)fIF ; therefore, for n=1, a IF signal at (2n+1=3)�fIF (4 MHz.), or 12 MHz., can be properly sampled and demodulated. In FIG. 4b, wherein the IF analog signal input frequency F is plotted along abscissa 76 and demodulator output V is plotted along ordinate 77, the response curve 78 will be seen to not only be substantially linear, but to have the negative slope, which will be noted to be characteristic of odd-subharmonic (n=1, 3, 5, . . . ) sampling.
Referring finally to FIG. 4c, wherein the IF analog signal input frequency is plotted along abscissa 81 and demodulator output V is plotted along ordinate 82, a response curve 83 for second-subharmonic sampling, with n=2, and governed by the sampling-IF frequency relationship fc =(4/5) fIF, will be seen to have a positive slope, characteristic of an even-order (n=2, 4, 6, . . . ) subharmonic sampling down-converter. Thus, with the same 16 MHz. sampling clock frequency fc, an input center frequency fIF of 20 MHz. can be properly sampled and downconverted; this is fully (2n+1) times the original IF analog signal frequency of 4 MHz. convertible by the prior-art non-harmonic-sampling down-converter. It will be understood that the ability to utilize higher IF signal frequencies, without changing the sampling CLK frequency, allows receiver specifications (such as image rejection and the like) to be improved.
While one presently preferred embodiment of our digital subharmonic sampling converter, for use in a digital demodulator and the like, has been described in detail herein, many modifications and variations will now become apparent to those skilled in the art. It is our intent, therefore, to be limited only by the scope of the appending claims and not by the specific details and instrumentalities presented herein by way of explanation of one embodiment.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 1/17/12
MINNEAPOLIS The Minnesota Twins signed two arbitration-eligible players to one-year contracts on Tuesday, the last day for teams and players to exchange salary figures. Minnesota signed left-handed reliever Glen Perkins to a one-year, 1.55 million deal, while also agreeing to a one-year, 5.5 million deal with starter Francisco Liriano. "Any time you can avoid the process, if it makes sense, you try to do so," said Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony. "We were able to reach a number that both sides were satisfied with." Twins infielder Alexi Casilla was also eligible for arbitration, but the two sides could not come to an agreement Tuesday. Perkins, 28, had a breakout year in 2011 as Minnesota's setup man, posting a 2.48 ERA and a WHIP of 1.232. He struck out 65 batters in 61 23 innings and also recorded two saves. His one-year, 1.55 million deal is more than double the 700,000 he made in 2011. Liriano, 28, is coming off a season in which he went 9-10 with a 5.09 ERA in ...

Originally written on Burning River Baseball | Last updated 9/25/12
Player of the Game With a score of 4.95, Russ Canzler has won his second straight Player of the Game award. Canzler hit another home run, then later doubled, singled and scored again. He also flashed a little leather while playing first base, before being removed from the game for Casey Kotchman. Feathers Up Because Lou Marson was not in the game to ground into a double play in front of Ezequiel Carrera, the Indians were able to score a couple more runs against Chicago today. In the fourth, Thomas Neal hit a ground ball with bases loaded and beat the return throw to first for a fielder's choice. The Indians scored once on that play, again on a Carrera single and once more when Shin-Soo Choo singled. In this particular instance the difference between an absolutely useless player (Marson) and an almost absolutely useless player (the much faster Neal) was three runs. Corey Kluber settled down after giving up home runs to A.J. Pierzynski and Dayan Viciedo, getting nine of t...

Letter: Market high? So what?
Art Herman, Bonita Springs
Market high? So what?
So the stock market has hit an all-time high.
Interest rates are about the lowest they have ever been and business is definitely picking up. Housing starts are up. Unemployment levels, while still too high, have improved. Rather than losing 700,000 jobs a month as we were doing at the end of the last administration, jobs are increasing for 34 months in a row now.
Effective personal tax rates are below historical averages for the past 30 years. Effective corporate tax rates are lower than ever. Many corporations are government subsidized and pay zero tax. Many wealthy use loopholes to pay little, if any, tax.
On the flip side, the beneficiaries of these happenings are the people who own stocks. The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer.
The disparity between the wealthy and the poor has never been greater. We are becoming a two-class society — the haves and the have-nots. One either owns the hamburger franchise or flips the burgers.
Sadly, our politics follow these same trends. One party clearly favors and promotes the best interests of the wealthy. Despite the widening gap, this party of the wealthy is in full protective mode.
The other party promotes the best interests of the majority of the lower and middle economic class. While both parties claim to want the same things, only one party wants them for everyone.
Notice I never mentioned a political party.
Care to guess which party is which?

'Basic Instinct 2'
Things do start off promisingly. Catherine Tramell (
Unfortunately, director Michael Caton-Jones ("Doc Hollywood") and writers Leora Barish ("Desperately Seeking Susan") and Henry Bean ("Internal Affairs") view the situation as a chance for a meaningful discussion of a psychological condition they keep referring to as "risk addiction." Repressed British shrink Michael Glass (
Because the discussion of "Basic Instinct 2" must inevitably devolve into talk about the sex scenes, it's important to first note how few exist and how awkward and uninspired they look. After the initial car crash, it's nearly 40 minutes before any boots are knocked and another 20 minutes between the first hint of Stone's naked body. To her credit, Stone looks fantastic, even if her exposure appears to be accompanied by some very careful lighting and some obvious pancake makeup. Caton-Jones has no interest in making the sex erotic -- chocking is the new ice picking, it seems -- and just rushes through the trysts as if they're just encumbrances for viewers who really, really, really want to hear the Psych 101-level discussion of Lacan and Jung.
Earlier this year,
Beyond her willingness to disrobe, Stone is more than a good sport. Retreating to her level of "Diabolique" self-parody, she says every line of come-hither dialogue with a similar sneer and eye-roll, as if begging the film around her to go similarly over-the-top. The only other actor in on the game is
Cinematographer Gyula Pados is trapped in the visual notion that London can only be depicted as a cold and sterile city, which only adds to the sense that everybody involved with "Basic Instinct 2" was being much too respectful of the property. Although "Basic Instinct" was a slick and proficient thriller, it was mostly a guilty pleasure. It'll take more than kinky doings with a belt to get pleasure out of this one.

Product Description

wfnrenSt Cloud, FLAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Man calls it coincidence, God calls it a miracleJanuary 7, 2014wfnrenSt Cloud, FLAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Julia Lapp is the oldest child of widower Amos Lapp and she is in love with Paul Fisher, she's known she would marry him since she was a young girl. Paul loves Julia too, he just isn't sure he wants to marry her at the young age of 21. He has just 'postponed' their wedding for a second time. When M.K., short for Mary Kate, starts telling about all of the other boys that have called off their 'courtin' it dawns on Julia, the Bee Man is back in town!
Amos is a sick man, he needs a heart transplant and can't keep up with the work so his uncle Hank helps out a little. Uncle Hank is always the talk of the community and writes for The Budget. When Fern Graber reads about the Lapp family in Stoney Creek she writes to Hank and volunteers her services to help the family out. Without asking Amos, Hank accepts her offer.
Fern is a strict no nonsense kind of woman, she knows there are four kids, Amos and Uncle Hank but she thinks she's coming to cook and clean for Amos. I don't know how she thought the kids would live in the house and eat when she won't allow anyone in her kitchen or even so much as get in the refrigerator for a glass of milk. Julia finally gives her an ultimatum to either cook for all of them or leave. She is so strict that M.K. is quickly up to rule 436 and counting.
What a wonderful story about how a man who is about to lose his life and won't accept a heart transplant. A young woman who is in love with someone and even after he 'postpones' the wedding twice still has faith that he will marry her. A story of how you can dislike someone and find out they aren't at all what they seem. What an encouragement to become an organ donor, as Amos always says, "What man calls Coincidences, God would call a miracle."

I loved the element of the bees and all of the talk of beekeeping. I thought the characters were great and have a special affection for Rome.
The way that this story wrapped itself up gave me goosebumps. It actually snuck up on me. I had given thought to what might happen to Poppa Lapp early on in the book but didn't see the ending coming at all.
This was a great story and I enjoyed reading it a lot. Well done Ms. Woods-Fisher! I highly recommend it!

When I can sneak away from the library, I'm always exploring Seattle. It's so different from the east coast, but I love living here. Ready for some short choppy sentences? I play a lot of pickup basketball. Technically, I've never been bowling in my entire life. I religiously do not miss a Patriots, Celtics, Red Sox, or Bruins game. I have seen Dazed & Confused like 100 times. I used to play bass in a 90s cover band. I'm a world renown Cards Against Humanity Champion. I tend to go on netflix benders. When I was 8, my dad bet me $100 that I couldn't go ten years without eating an apple. I did, and got $100 and an apple at my high school graduation. I'm just looking for a girl who is ambitious, educated, isn't afraid to try new things, and likes spontaneity in relationships

Basketball, Cycling, Football, Running, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs, Other
I really want a teacup pig. They're pretty awesome. If you don't watch How I Met Your Mother, look them up

Since moving to Seattle, I've spent 90% of my time in Capitol Hill because I go to school here, but I've been trying to branch out to other neighborhoods lately
Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva, NY
I like being active, playing pickup basketball, and being outside. Seattle is way more conducive than Boston for hiking, biking, and urban jogging. I also love trying new restaurants all around Seattle- I'll eat anything once.
My last book was Manhood for Amateurs by Michael Chabon. Right now I'm reading Elon Musk's biography

After a round of laptop memory upgrades, I have ended up with ten 4GB DDR3 SO-DIMMs.
Looking around, I noticed there are various 204-pin DDR SO-DIMM to 240-pin DIMM adapters available on AliExpress, Amazon, eBay, etc.
These seem to be intended for use in dedicated memory testers, but I am wondering if anyone has tried using them long-term in a PC, and if so, what the results were (stable, etc.).

Share your summer memories: Summer in Croatia
Related Links
Relevant offers
Stuff Nation
The temperature gauge was now above 40degC and I was suffering. It was July this year and I was in Croatia.
My sunhat shaded my head but made it hotter, so each time I reached some shade I'd take it off again … only to jam it back on when I had to walk in the sun. On again, off again, on again …
I'd stay in the blessedly air-conditioned apartment most of the afternoon and then walk down to the waterfront, trying not to break out into a sweat. I'd come to realise that constant sweating causes dehydration, and if the pharmacy assistant has no knowledge of English, electrolyte sachets are hard to mime.
Chicken salad, with a cold beer or iced tea, at Bistro San. And then a swim in the soothing waters of the Adriatic.
I'd been on an Intrepid trip, and a friend and I had rented an apartment for a few days afterwards. It was well away from the historic 'old town' and that suited me fine. I hadn't been prepared for the heat or the crowds – whole cruise ships of tourists. I'd never even heard of Split before this trip but obviously many others had. Diocletian's Palace was jam packed with sightseers and shops selling everything from postcards to filigree silver, fashion clothing and designer sunglasses.
In contrast, we were now among local people, their apartment blocks, bistros and cafe bars. These people who looked so much like us, until we heard them talking or tried to make ourselves understood.
Lively voices in the early evening. The men emerge from the seaside restaurants and cafe bars, play cards on the warm flat rocks, laugh and call out to each other, jump in the sea, throw balls to their friends in the water. Bare-chested Croatian men, all shapes and sizes, so often reminding me of my old friend Vladimir, the only person I'd known whose family came from this part of the world. But Vladimir was a Kiwi, he spoke English. I have no idea what these men are talking about.
My favourite place for swimming is the closest to the apartment and Bistro San – why walk further when the cooling water is right there and you just go down a ladder from the rocks to the sea? But one evening, just on sunset, we walk a bit further around the coast to a pebbly beach. Here, as everywhere, men are talking and laughing – a tableau against the blue water.
I try to imagine what they're saying. Are they discussing football, cars, politics, business, their wives, the philosophy of Plato? I have no idea. I can't even understand what the small children are saying - these clever children chattering so fluently in a language foreign to me. All I can manage is a feeble 'Hvala' when it seems thanks is required. Anything more and I'm lost.
Dogs stroll by, happily purposeful though seemingly belonging to no one. A cat lurks in the shadows of the sultry evening. Young mothers, toddlers in pushchairs, cats, dogs and everywhere these laughing Dalmatian men. Some youthfully trim, others pot bellied, all relaxed and jovial, finding life fun.
Sated with swimming, floating on my back and gazing short-sightedly up at the sky, I finally climb the ladder to the rocks again, get dressed and wander back up the hill to the apartment.
And on my final evening in Split, I walk extra slowly down the busy road towards the evening meal and the swim, for I've finally learned how best to cope with the climate. I rest for a while whenever I come to a patch of shade.
Helen handles the heat better than I do and has already been out walking most of the afternoon. We meet at Bistro San and I'm just finishing my chicken salad and contemplating my iced tea when I look down at my paper napkin and realise something truly remarkable. For the first time in weeks, the tissue is not a screwed up ball sodden with perspiration.
And I haven't had to stop myself from drinking the iced tea or a long cold beer in one big gulp. The heat and humidity have dropped slightly, or maybe I'm acclimatising.
I know that when I swim this evening it will be for the sake of swimming, not a desperate attempt to cool down and stop sweating.
After my swim, I have another surprising sensation - I'm slightly chilly. I'd almost forgotten what this is like. It's amazing. For once I forgo the open air shower. As I walk up the hill again and the local guys roar past on their motorbikes, I keep a memory of the Adriatic in the saltiness still on my skin. For tomorrow I'll be catching planes.
I'm on the other side of the world, on the Dalmatian coast where summers are hot and dry. All too soon I'll be back in wintry Wellington where my swimming togs will stay in the drawer and I'm unlikely to need rehydration sachets. I'll also know what people are saying … but I'll miss the Adriatic coast and these incomprehensible people who are otherwise so like us.
I have no idea what they're talking about but I love being around them.

Gear Review
Beware: The size conversion is wrong
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I wear a US size 10 so I ordered according to the conversion size chart a EU size 42.5. When I tried the shoe on it was way too small. I called and then ordered a EU 43 and 43.5 just to be sure. Even the 43.5 was too small so I talked to Kyle at Competitive who was very helpful and he said that he wore the same size shoe and that I would need a size 44.5. Wow! According to the size table that would be a US size 11 1/2. So before you order this shoe or the Northwave brand make sure you talk to someone who has your same size foot so that you can verify it will be a perfect fit. This was a very annoying process and literally took a few weeks to sort through so don't be mislead and do your due diligence up front! I can't comment on the shoe but will do so once I have the right size and can get out on the road to put them to the test.
