This paper proposes an adaptive channel selection method that reduces signal distortion due to frequency selective fading and thereby improving the performance of mobile communication. In this method a channel is adaptively selected by estimating current channel condition with mean square decision error as a measure. This selected frequency channel corresponds to the channel in which the delayed signals add-up inphase. Hence, BER performance is improved with the proposed scheme. Computer simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for a system with multiple terminals and also for a multiple base station (cellular) system

|WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #6 preview art by Yanick Paquette
With every ending comes a new beginning.
For the X-Men's resident berserker, this week's WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #5 from writer Jason Aaron and artist Ron Garney brings the series' first story arc to a close, while issue #6 begins an all-new storyline entitled "Insane in the Brain" from Aaron and artist Yanick Paquette on October 28.
When going after an adversary as well connected as the CEO of Blackguard in the current "Adamantium Men" story, Logan has more than the usual trouble to worry about.
"As we saw last issue, H.A.M.M.E.R. is now involved, which means Norman Osborn has an interest in the goings-on," Aaron recaps. "So yes, I'd say everyone involved should be concerned with reprisals."
Unlike many of Wolverine's past foes, Blackguard has a number of real world analogues, as Aaron points out:
|WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #6 preview art by Yanick Paquette
Looking back at his first arc on WOLVERINE: WEAPON X, Aaron had a number of things he sought to accomplish when kicking off the new series and feels he hit most if not all of his marks.
"I wanted something that was action-driven and that dealt with the legacy of the Weapon X program while still taking things forward," the writer relates. "And I was also looking to establish our two main supporting characters, the reporter Melita Garner and the old black ops vet Maverick. We'll be seeing a lot more of both of them in coming issues."
Speaking of taking things forward, Aaron will move from espionage thriller to horror in his next arc, "Insane in the Brain," beginning in WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #6.
"It's the claws," kids Aaron on the subject of Wolverine's versatility. "It's gotta be the claws. Really though, Logan is just a rich character who's still a very simple man in a lot of ways. It's always fun to throw him into different situations and see how he reacts. Usually it involves stabbing and slicing."
|WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #6 preview art by Yanick Paquette
"That's the big question," Aaron notes. "When the story opens, Logan himself doesn't know the answer. He doesn't even know who he is let alone how he's going to escape with his brain still intact."
While Wolverine has a world-class healing factor that can help any physical wounds he may receive, Aaron doesn't know if that same ability can save Logan's mind past a certain point.
"I think it's possible to push anyone to that point," the writer admits. "And we already know Logan has a bit of a berserker side. Let's just say, it could get ugly."
Just how ugly will things get? Aaron's last tease could provide a hint:
"Yanick Paquette draws pretty brains. No, really."

The artwork shows three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box.
It appeared overnight on a street in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, just a few miles from GCHQ, where the UK's surveillance network is based.
Residents say they saw a group of men packing away a large white tarpaulin at around 7.30 on Sunday morning, before driving off in a maintenance van.
The celebrated Bristol street artist has yet to officially confirm the piece on his website.
Karen Smith, 48, said the figures appeared on the side of the house where she lives on Sunday morning.
"It's pretty good. It livens the street up a bit," said the mother-of-five. "There have been a lot of people about today looking at it.
"My daughter, Sophie thinks it's Banksy, but I've been speaking to different people outside and some agree, some don't."
Graffiti website streetartnews said Banksy had showed up with a van and covered the phonebox with tarpaulin before creating the piece "at the break of dawn".
"Quite a strong statement against the recent privacy issues we experienced this past year with the NSA and such," the website said.
"Banksy didn't pick Cheltenham randomly - the city is home of the GCHQ.
"This piece has all the Banksy characteristics in narrative, style and execution."
A spokesman for GCHQ said: "Although we are not qualified critics, we are as intrigued as the rest of the residents of Cheltenham about the artwork.
"For those who are interested, our website (www.gchq.gov.uk) gives a glimpse of what modern day intelligence operatives are really like, although some may be disappointed by the lack of trench coats and dark glasses."

28 year old woman | Bensalem, PA, USA | Seeking men 25-33 within 50 miles
Looking for Mr.right.....in hopefully the right place!
I am 26 years old, and moved from the Atlantic City area to Bensalem PA because it was closer to work and school. I attended Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, where I graduated with a BS degree in Equine Studies. ( breeding and training of horses) I currently work in the hospitality industry, and love what I do and the people at work. My job allows me to be my silly self and makes me feel good knowing others are having fun. My job requires me to work odd hours not the normal 9 to 5 gig. I sometimes work into the early mornings so I joined the site to meet new people. When I'm not at work ...I love to go to the shore house in Brigantine to visit family....and go to the beach bar, and take out the ocean kayaks and chill with a nice cool mohjito! of course this is weather permitting. On my days off I always like to go to new places and explore. I met a lot of nice people when I moved to PA but they are mostly people I work with. and It be nice to meet others who have more to talk about rather than work related topics. In my free time, I like to continue my riding lessons, help an equine vet work on Throughbred horses, go to Borgata and Harrahs Chester and play some carsds. I visit family on weekends, unite with friends to do trivia night and hit up the Tropicana's Comedy Stop. I love to laugh and be around people who can take jokes, and don't mind sarcasm. Also I enjoy a good thrill rush ....sky dive, cliff dive....random flights ....and drive around to new places. I am a social butterfly, never saw myself as a shy person. People would describe me as...kind (this is my biggest strength and weakness), loyal, caring, understanding, confident, social, good sense of humor, empathetic, and also adventurous ( I would love to take a week off and go to Italy or even China.) Who I am looking for : I would like to find a guy who is outgoing and charming, and someone who is educated and has goals in life and one who has a passion for his job or hobby. A man who is able to carry a conversation and willing to try new things. Likes to laugh and enjoy traveling and being spontaneous . I'd like that man to have his own car and job. Someone who is independent and responsible. Would like to meet someone who can get along with others and not shy. and also want him to be competitive like me, so someone who doesn't let me win because I'm a girl would be great! Please NO drama No fake N bake tans ..... jersey shore type egotistical guys!

I know nothing about 8x10 photography, but from what I have seen the cameras are quite large. Is it a possibility the leverage and not weight had a bearing on the performance of the giotto heads you tried deniz?
I know one of my P&Ts struggles with my praktica and its' 28-200mm semi-macro lens, not because it is heavy but because it is long and adds additional leverage to the load on the tripod head.

Re: mandrake 10.1/xorg driver error
But, could someone tell us less advanced users just what exactly it is that we have to do to get this working in 10.1? I've been trying to follow that thread, but, there are almost no instructions, and I must admit that it's beyond me. I'm no beginner, but I'm sure as heck not advanced enough to figure out what to do from that. For one thing, as I understand it, I'm supposed to use that file somehow to patch a nv.c file, and I can't find any nv.c file.... But, even if I can finally find it (I'm trying the brute force hard way, running the find command from root as su) I still don't know what exactly to do with it.

Stunning, Boldly Defined 1776 Continental Dollar Struck in Pewter, MS 65 PCGS1776 Continental Dollar $1 MS 65 PCGS. EG FECIT. Pewter. Breen-1095; Crosby Pl. VIII, 17; Newman 3-D. As tensions between Great Britain and her American colonies mounted through the mid-1770s, General Thomas Gage, the British Military Governor of Massachusetts, received orders from his superiors to destroy the rebel's military stores at Concord, New Hampshire. After three British infantry and grenadier columns departed Boston on April 15, 1775, the famous rider Paul Revere shadowed their movements and sent word that alerted rebel forces scattered about the countryside. When the first British unit under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith reached Lexington Green, they ran into the formed militia of Captain John Parker. Although the British troops easily dispersed Parker's men, the militia and Minutemen that they encountered at Concord proved to be their superior in both tactics and discipline. Fighting in dispersed, well concealed companies, the American troops routed all three British units and drove them back to Boston in utter defeat.
While historians rightly judge the Battles of Lexington and Concord to be the starting point of the American Revolution, the United Colonies realized that military prowess alone could not prove their independence to the established nations of the world. The nations of Europe, like most societies before them, also measured their prestige by the amount, value, and acceptability of their circulating currency. It is little wonder that, before the signing of the Declaration of Independence and in the midst of their life and death struggle against the mother country, the founding fathers attempted to issue their own circulating currency as rapidly as possible. Although the Continental Congress had already started to issue fractional notes by early 1776, the dubious financial status of the United Colonies and the disputed outcome of the war combined to prevent the new paper money's widespread acceptance. In an effort to satisfy the twin goals of backing its fractional currency and proving to the world their status as an independent nation, the Continental Congress enacted plans in mid-1776 to issue coinage.
Congressional agents commissioned Elisha Gallaudet, an engraver from Freehold, New Jersey, to prepare dies for the coinage of various denominations. With plans to obtain a loan of silver bullion from France well underway, the Continental Congress made the delivery of a circulating dollar coin its first priority. Meanwhile, Gallaudet's work proceeded apace with designs that Benjamin Franklin had provided. The obverse dies consisted of a sundial rebus flanked by the words CONTINENTAL CURRENCY. The reverse displayed the unity of the American colonies with thirteen links encircling the inscriptions AMERICAN CONGRESS and WE ARE ONE. Using slight variations of this basic design, pattern pieces were struck in pewter (or, according to some sources, tin), brass, and silver. Unfortunately for the Continental Congress' lofty plans, the silver bullion from France failed to materialize, the fractional currency depreciated, and the pattern pieces were destined to survive as testimony to the failure of America's first bid for economic independence and prestige.
Although they were part of a failed plan, the surviving Continental Dollars are prized by numismatists for both their rarity and historical significance. Unlike the majority of patterns prepared, the current piece carries the added phrase EG FECIT on the obverse just below the sundial rebus. An embellished substitute for the designer's initials, this Latin phrase is translated as 'E(lisha) G(allaudet) made it.' One of only three examples to receive an MS 65 designation from PCGS, this specimen displays the characteristic die crack that encircles the reverse and bisects the thirteen links. Even though the denticled borders are incomplete in isolated areas of both the obverse and the reverse, we note that the balance of this coin is well impressed and readily reveals each minute detail. What appear to be lumps of die rust are scattered about the surfaces along with a few trivial planchet flaws, although we stress that this piece is devoid of post-production impairments and is fully deserving of the vaunted gem designation. The reverse is rotated about twenty-five degrees clockwise in relation to the obverse. Although military victory would have to secure America's political independence on its own, the Continental Dollar, as a symbol of the colonies' hopes and plans for the future, is just as important as the sacrifice that each American patriot made on the battlefields of the Revolutionary War.
From the Gilchrist Collection of Dollars. (PCGS# 795)

Safety services affect Dousman budget
Village of Dousman - The new Dousman Fire District will have the biggest effect on the village's 2013 budget. Village President Jack Nissen said the new funding formula for the fire district -which includes Summit, Dousman and Ottawa - has Dousman paying $56,000 for its share.
"It's important for people to know that the consolidation was very important for Dousman. Had Summit decided to leave and take the village to another district, Dousman and Ottawa would have been left with the entire budget (for fire protection)," Nissen said.
Each community in the Fire District is required to make annual payments based on the community's population, tax base and number of emergency calls. One concern in coming to an agreement on the funding formula was over calls to Dousman's Three Pillars.
Since Three Pillars is a nonprofit facility, it is exempt from paying real estate taxes, some of which would generate revenues to help pay for fire and medical services. Three Pillars will likely agree on a payment in lieu of real estate taxes (PILOT) to help the village cover emergency calls to the senior center complex. In addition, Nissen said the Masonic Lodge, which owns the facilities, has been taking steps to reduce the number of emergency calls.
"They have put things in place to help reduce the call volume and have reduced it greatly," said Nissen.
The village has budgeted about a $24,000 increase for police services from Summit. However, Nissen said while it affects the budget, it's still about $16,000 less than Dousman maintaining its own police department. Last year, Dousman contracted with Summit for police services, and patrols began at the end of the year. Nissen said he's heard nothing but positive comments about the new police protection, and the village now gets more patrol hours with the new contract.
In more unfortunate news, the village had to make a tough decision when faced with constraints of less state aid and levy limits. Nissen said the village will eliminate a position in the Utility Department. He said the move will save the village about $60,000, but will necessitate a restructure of the workforce from the Department of Public Works to manage operations. He said procedures have already been put in place to handle the change.
Even though the village had little growth in 2012, it was able to increase its levy by $76,000 because it had an increased cost from the fire merger. State law allows for an increase in the levy equal to increased costs for a consolidation of services.
Overall, Nissen said the budget process hasn't been an easy one over the last several years in his small community and in a poor economy. "We have been postponing improvements to roads and other things, but we got to the point that even in a poor economy we can no longer let infrastructure suffer," said Nissen of plans for improvements. That includes setting aside $10,000 for future equipment replacements in the 2013 budget.
The village has not received its equalized value numbers from the state, but Nissen said the village tax rate is estimated to increase about 51 cents per thousand of assessed value. "It would have been a nickel if it hadn't been for increases in police and fire protection," he said.
Expenditures in the 2013 budget are down a hefty 23 percent. The 2013 budget calls for expenditures of about $1.3 million, compared to last year's $1.7 million. Last year, the village borrowed $400,000 for a shared road project with Ottawa creating the year-over-year difference.Next year's levy is expected to be $818,141 compared to $722,380 from last year, a 13.36-percent increase. While next year's tax rate is not yet available, last year's rate was $4.11 per $1,000 of assessed value.
The budget hearing is at 5 p.m. Monday at Village Hall, 118 S. Main St.

Thanks so much!
I'm hoping to get done with this big piece of paper of different drawings on it.
It's still in my art class and I'm about finished with it.
I can't wait to scan it in and put it on here.
My step-dad is building me this amazing easel and I'm waiting for it to get done to start back to work on my painting.
Hopefully I'll get back to working on my concentration. xD
I just figured I needed lots of practice.
January 11th, 2008 #16
Gosh, it's been so long since I last updated. xD
I have a piece that I completed during art class a few weeks ago, and the most recent one is still in the art room.
I took a picture of this one today because it's so big that it can't go through the scanner unless I did it in sections... I may later on, but I took a picture for now.

I have some more work that I scanned in/took a picture of, but I couldn't piece one of them together in photoshop right.
Because I had to scan it in 2 parts since it was big.
I was trying to get the alignment right and I just couldn't do it to save my life.
I was able to do it for both regality pictures, but I forgot how to now.
Oh well here's one of the pictures I taken of it. Others are in the post below this one.
Oh yeah and I have the picture of Merlin too.

This is a cutesy lil card that I did for my boyfriend today. For V-day I'm going to stick it in the store bought card that I got him. =)
I was messing around with my new acrylic ink set today and I decided to add some watercolor to it as well.
Any comments or critiques about any of the new stuff I've done so far?
It's getting quite lonely in here.

I completed this around last week and it was done completely in prisma color pencil. By the way, yes that is the same woman on the other paper that has a lot of people on it. I have fun drawing her for some reason.
I did this first apple drawing a few days after my birthday which was the 18th of this month and it was done completely in my new NUPastels!
This next apple drawing was done in class with prisma color pencil. It was finished last week.
This was done in charcoal and I tinker around with it every once and awhile so it's not exactly complete. I still haven't decided if I'll draw the face in or not.
I completed this 2 days ago.
This was a quick figure sketch that I did in class today.
I did this quick sketch when I was sitting at this new restaurant called the Mediterranean Village. This is what I was looking at forward and to the left. I didn't have too much time to put in that much detail or straighten my lines up perfectly. xD Mom kept telling me to eat.
Well that's all folks~ And hopefull I can finally use the Rembrandt oil paint and Gamblin paint soon! I can't wait!
Oh and any C&C are welcomed and respected. It gets very lonely in here so please do leave a comment.

Finally started on the Loomis Anatomy Studies.
I started this one today from around 7pm to 10pm finish.
April 24th, 2008 #24
Hey nice start , its great your are making notes when you are doing anatomical studies one thing i have found that helps it break things down into stages if your are learning basic figure measurements ie. leg is 4 heads hips is 1 head blah blah, don't spend 3 hours on it try and get a quick method. I suggest using a bit of thick chalk/charcoal and make a suggestive mark for the appropriate length for each section and it should only take 20- 30 secs for a whole figure do it stack of times until you can easily think of a section in your head and know its length. Any way just a suggestion i hope it goes well for you snd keep up the top effort!!.
The Following User Says Thank You to aussiedeza For This Useful Post:

Now we have leaf blowers and take the car everywhere." So here is a list of 10 reasons why you should make physical activity a part of your everyday life.
Workouts to Help Prevent Sports Injuries
It may not be always possible to avoid injury when playing sports, especially physical contact sports, but participants can help protect themselves by properly preparing before and after a game or practice session by warming up muscles and then stretching.
Strength-Train with Yoga
Yoga is more than a stretching regimen. It can help you build stronger muscles, as well as help you relax and focus.
Strength Training at Home
Getting to the gym for a weight workout isn't always easy. That's why it pays to have weights at home as a backup, or even as a substitute.

Target Your Heart Rate for Better Health
By knowing your heart rate, you can gauge how fit you are and whether you're working out at a moderate pace.
Ways to Improve Your Workout
A proven way to improve your health is finding -- or making -- the time to exercise. But just going through the motions won't give you the health benefits you want.
Pilates: A Core Conditioning Program
Pilates is a conditioning program that strengthens the joints and muscles used in everyday actions such as walking, sitting, twisting, bending and lifting.
Walking Works for Everyone
Walking is easy because you can do it almost anywhere and at any time. It also offers a range of health benefits.
Get in the Swim
Besides providing a good workout for your heart and lungs, water offers constant, gentle pressure on every part of the body, which, in turn, helps improve circulation from the outside in, eases joint and back pain, and increases flexibility and range of motion.
Ready, Set, Run!
It may not be as trendy as Pilates or power yoga, but running still delivers a great fat-burning, stress-reducing aerobic workout.
Exercise for the Ages
While regular physical activity is a cornerstone of wellness at any age, it's during your 30s, 40s and 50s that exercise becomes especially important.
Take a Lap With Indoor Cycling
In indoor cycling workouts (also known as spinning classes), participants ride stationary bicycles specially designed to mimic outdoor bikes.
Why You Should Try Yoga
Yoga is a series of stretches and poses that you do with breathing techniques. It offers the powerful benefits of exercise. And since yoga is gentle, almost anyone can do it, regardless of your age or fitness level.

Dancing Is the Star
Besides being fun, dance offers a range of benefits--physical, mental, and social--that other activities can't match.
Shape Up to Hit the Slopes
Ideally, you should start to prepare your muscles two months before you go skiing or snowboarding. But as little as an hour of training a week for four weeks can get you ready.
Make a Splash with a Water Workout
Although many people enjoy water aerobics classes, you don't have to be in a group to work out.
Stretches for Your Lower Legs
Stretching can keep your lower legs limber and your joints pain free.
Strength Training and Heart Disease
If you think that you can't begin a strength-training program because you have heart disease, think again.
Give Your Health a Lift

Exercise doesn't have to be vigorous to offer health benefits. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity daily, or on most days of the week.

PITTSBURGH - OCTOBER 20: Center Evgeni Malkin #71 of the Pittsburgh Penguins skates with the puck against the St. Louis Blues on October 20, 2009 at Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)
There's a rather ominous Bible verse in the book of Hosea that warns, "… they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." While I may be guilty of taking this piece of scripture out of context, it sure seems like an apt description for what has been an exhilarating yet tumultuous couple of weeks for Penguins hockey. On the plus side, GM Ray Shero acquired a bevy of high-profile rental players in an effort to return the Stanley Cup to the 'Burgh. The Pens obliged by ripping off a 15-game winning streak, tied for the second-longest in league history. However, injuries to key players such as Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, and Paul Martin—not to mention a pair of ugly losses—have muddied the waters. Amid the sudden turbulence, one thing is clear. It's time for the Penguins own whirlwind—Evgeni Malkin—to emerge from a season in the shadows. With Sid nursing a broken jaw, the Pens need No. 71 more than ever before. To say Malkin's experienced a Jekyll-and-Hyde season would be an ...
