This invention relates to stereo blend circuits in FM stereo receivers and more particularly relates to such a blend circuit that blends and reduces stereo separation as a direct function of noise in the composite stereo signal.
Stereo blending in a conventional FM receiver is accomplished by reducing stereo separation inversely with the FM signal strength as detected in the IF or RF section of the receiver. One means of accomplishing this is indicated by the decoder 10 shown in FIG. 1. The 38 KHz restored sub-carrier signal and the output of the signal strength detector circuit at conductor 11 to be used as a blend-control voltage are applied to the two inputs respectively of a multiplier 14 that serves as a voltage controlled attenuator of the 38 KHz signal. The output of mixer 14 and the stereo composite signal at conductor 12 are mixed to demodulate the composite signal and especially to produce the demodulated L-R portion of the composite signal. That demodulated L-R portion signal is mixed with the non phase shifted composite signal in the summer 18 to produce the left audio signal, while the demodulated L-R portion signal is mixed with the 180° phase shifted composite signal in adder 19 to produce the inverted right audio signal. Another inverter (not shown) may be added in the right audio or left audio outputs if wanted to prevent the occurrence of acoustic canceling, especially at low frequencies, by the right and left signal driven speakers.
Shortcomings of blending decoders of this type stem from the fact that the FM signal strength does not correlate well with the noise appearing in the stereo composite signal. Furthermore, objectionable distortion in the stereo audio signals resulting from receiving the FM radio signal from an FM broadcasting station via two or more paths, a condition commonly referred to as "multipath" reception, is not greatly ameliorated by conventional blending circuits.
Decoders that blend inversely with the FM signal strength are typically designed to fully blend to monaural when the signal to noise ratio falls below about 50 db at which it is considered that the signal strength is low enough for multipath conditions to become less noticeable. However, fully separated stereo receiver operation could have been enjoyed under most other (than multipath) conditions with signal to noise ratios between 50 and 40 db, pointing up the necessity of serious compromise in conventional decoders that blend inversely with signal strength.
In a car radio, multipath reception, varies as the car moves relative to the transmitting station and relative to the terrain containing hills, buildings and other objects that variously reflect the transmitted radio signal and create changing multiple paths to the receiver. Multipath reception is therefore particularly objectionable in a moving stereo FM receiver.
Engineers have presented conflicting theories and empirical data relating to mechanisms by which FM-receiver audible noise is generated. In a paper by Rucktenwald and Torick entitled FMX Mobile Reception, IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, Vol. 34 No. 4, pp. 921-8, November 1988, it is shown that multipath noise is suitably diminished by automatically disabling the expander in an FMX receiver. But in a paper by Bose and Short entitled A Theoretical and Experimental Study of Noise and Distortion in the Reception of FM Signals, RLE Technical Report No. 540, M.I.T., January 1989, it is concluded that "FMX" reception is inherently more susceptible to multipath noise and that the best remedy is conventional FM reception with a stereo blending capability.
"FMX" and "FMX Stereo" are TRADEMARKS of Broadcast Technology Partners of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., which company has proposed the FMX transmission system in which the standard FM composite signal includes in addition to the usual L-R base band of the suppressed 38 KHz/0° subcarrier, a L-R base band of the quad subcarrier, 38 KHz/90°. The FMX receiver retrieves and expands both for presentation to the receiver dematrixer circuit. This system is described in the Torrick et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,485,483, issued Nov. 27, 1984.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an FM stereo blending decoder that is more responsive to radio noise in the composite signal and that substantially reduces audio signal distortion during fixed or varying multipath conditions.
An FM stereo decoder includes a conductor on which a composite signal is generated, e.g. from an FM radio discriminator, a sub-carrier generating circuit, and a stereo decoding circuit to which composite signal conductor and the sub-carrier are connected for decoding the composite signal and separating the left and right audio components in the composite signal to a left and right audio signal conductor, respectively. The decoding circuit has a blend-control input and is adapted for changing the degree of the separation of left and right signals as a function of the signal level applied to the blend-control input. There is additionally included a blend signal means connected to the composite signal conductor and blend control input for producing at the blend control input a blend control signal that is a function of the magnitude of the noise that is present in a narrow band of the composite signal centered about the pilot signal to effect reduction of the degree of stereo separation effected by the decoder circuit.
The blend signal means may be comprised of a generating means for generating a first signal at the same dominant frequency as that of the pilot signal; a mixer to which the first signal and the composite signal are introduced for AM demodulating the composite signal relative to pilot frequency; a low pass filter having an input connected to the mixer output, and a rectifier means connected to the output of the low pass filter and having an output connected to the blend-control input for effecting blending in the decoder to a degree that is directly related to the amount of noise in the composite signal adjacent the pilot frequency.
This invention recognizes that the region about the pilot signal is the only region in the FM stereo radio composite signal frequency spectrum in which signal tranmissions of any kind are forbidden by law and therefore this is a region in which a measure of noise may be taken that is uniquely free of transmitted signals.
It is further recognized that the detection of noise in this unique narrow region can best be done by mixing the composite signal with a quadratum signal of the pilot signal frequency and 90° out of phase with the pilot signal so as to eliminate the pilot from that demodulation product.
It is additionally recognized that demodulated product may be passed through a low cost four pole low pass filter circuit of only a moderately steep cutoff for passing only the demodulated noise without portions of the demodulation product generated by the L+R and L-R portions of the composite signal spectrum.
It is yet further recognized that the use of square wave Walsh function signals in the L-R decoder mixers (at 38 KHz in an FM radio receiver) and as well in the noise-detector-mixer (at pilot frequency) are important in combination with the blend on noise features of this invention to realize blending on noise only when needed due to high noise or multipath conditions, without the expensive generation of sine signals to avoid generating unwanted demodulation products in both the noise detecting and the stereo decoding and separating circuits; and that generation of the needed Walsh functions is especially economical in that all such Walsh functions may be generated from one phase-locked-loop voltage-controlled oscillator followed by simple frequency dividers and exclusive-or circuits; and furthermore the entire decoder with the exception of a few capacitors is readily amenable to integration.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a stereo decoder of the prior art that blends an FM signal strength.
FIG. 2 shows the spectrum of frequencies that make up a standard FM stereo composite signal that typically appears at the output of the discriminator in an FM radio receiver.
FIG. 3 shows a simplified block diagram of an FM stereo decoder of this invention that blends on the noise near the 19 KHz pilot in the composite signal.
FIG. 4 shows a circuit diagram of the low pass filter and associated block circuitry employed in the blend signal generator portion of the decoder of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of the Walsh Function Generator employed in the decoder of FIG. 3.
FIG. 6 shows the decoding circuit portion of the decoder of FIG. 3 modified for FMX stereo separation and blending.
In the preferred embodiments of this invention the decoder blends in direct relationship with the average amplitude of the noise existing within the frequency range within two kilohertz of the 19 KHz pilot component in a FM radio composite stereo signal such as is shown in FIG. 2.
That noise amplitude over about the 4 KHz range centered about the 19 KHz pilot is detected by the monitor means circuit portion 20 of the decoder shown in FIG. 3 that generates a blend-signal. Within this 4 KHz range centered about the 19 KHz pilot, transmitting stations are forbidden by law to transmit any signal except the pilot. Thus noise in this 4 KHz range is free of signals and there it is uniquely possible to detect noise only.
Generation of a blend voltage is accomplished by first AM demodulating the composite signal with reference to a local source of a 19 KHz signal which is phase shifted 90° relative to the pilot signal. This has the effect of eliminating the 19 KHz pilot from the demodulation product. That 4 KHz band of noise (two 2 KHz side band portions of composite signal) is demodulated and folded to within a frequency range of from 0 to 2 KHz. The demodulator shown in FIG. 3 is comprised of the two multipliers 22 and 24 and summing circuit 26 and has an output conductor 27. The demodulated signal at conductor Z7 is then passed through a low pass filter 28 having a bandpass of about 2 KHz thus eliminating higher frequency products derived from demodulated frequencies in the L+R and L-R signal bands of the composite signal.
The filtered noise is then detected in rectifier 30 to produce a voltage that is directly related to the average amplitude of the noise near the 19 KHz pilot. The output of the rectifier 30 produces at conductor 31 a blend voltage that is substantially proportional to the average amplitude of the 4 KHz pilot-band noise.
Still referring to FIG. 3, the circuit portion for decoding the composite signal and producing separate left and right stereo audio signals is a Walsh function type decoding circuit. Thirty-eight kilohertz Walsh signals W1 and W7 are introduced, respectively, via the multipliers 36 and 38 to the pair of mixers 40 and 42, respectively, in each of which pair the composite signal is AM demodulated and combined in summing network 44. Mixers 36 and 38 serve as blend-voltage controlled attenuators. The combination in FIG. 3 of the 19 KHz Walsh function signals W1/90° and W7/90° in the circuit composed of mixtures 22, 24 and adder 26 provides at conductor 27 the product of the composite signal and a 19 KHz stair stepped sine wave with essentially no odd harmonics.
The output of the summing network 44 is mixed with the composite signal in multiplier 46 to produce the left audio signal, and is mixed with the inverted composite signal in the multiplier 48 to produce the inverted right audio signal. The inverter 50 is of the analog kind providing 180° phase shift that may consist of a single amplifying transistor stage having a resistive load and with the output at the collector (not shown).
This particular decoding circuit might properly be called a Walsh L-R decoder. This arrangement of functional blocks 40, 42 and 44 is particularly useful as part of a receiver having FMX reception capability as will be shown. Alternatively, a simpler Walsh decoder producing left and right audio signals directly may be used in non-FMX receivers. Further, the even simpler non-Walsh decoder shown in FIG. 1, including L-R signal AM demodulating mixers 14 and 17, and adders 18 and 19 plus inverter block 20, may be used but such decoder circuits are prone to produce whistles or "birdies" if low cost square wave mixing oscillators (e.g. @ 38 KHz) are employed for mixing, since Walsh decoding eliminates the odd harmonics of the square wave that are essential to the generation of birdies.
Birdies will therefore not occur when a full four quadrant multiplier or decoder (17) is used with a pure 38 Khz sine wave oscillator (not shown) to demodulate the composite signal since that system does not produce odd harmonics. Sine wave filters or oscillators exclude harmonics but require large expensive tuning components and are thus avoided.
The Walsh functions generator of FIG. 5 is a phase locked loop including a phase comparator 100, a low pass filter 102 and a voltage or current controlled oscillator (VCO) 104 that will free run at the natural frequency of a ceramic resonator 106; namely, at thirty-two times 19 KHz, or 608 KHz. A five bit binary counter 108 is connected to the output of the VCO 104, providing at five outputs D2, D4, D8, D16 and D32 square wave primary Walsh functions at their dominant frequencies 304 KHz, 152 KHz, 76 KHz, 38 KHz and 19 KHz, respectively. All these primary Walsh functions are locked in phase with the 19 KHz pilot in the composite signal, Wx/0°. Adjacent to outputs D16 and D32 are shown respectively square output terminals Q8 and Q16 at which square wave signals are produced of the same frequency but shifted 90° with respect to square wave signals at D16 and D32. Wx designations used in the drawings of these primary Walsh functions are defined in Table I below:
TABLE I______________________________________ Primary Walsh FunctionFrequency Terminal Signal Designations______________________________________304 KHz D2 W16/0° F.p = W8/0° F.c152 KHz D4 W8/0° F.p = W4/0° F.c 76 KHz D8 W4/0° F.p = W2/0° F.c 38 KHz D16 W2/0° F.p = W1/0° F.c 19 KHz D32 W1/0° F.p 38 KHz Q16 W2/90° F.p = W1/90° F.c 19 KHz Q8 W1/90° F.p______________________________________
Fp is the pilot frequency, e.g. 19 KHz, and Fc is the subcarrier frequency, e.g. 38 KHz.
By combining certain primary Walsh function signals in exclusive-or circuits 110, 112, 114, 116, 118 and 120 as shown in FIG. 5, Walsh functions W7/0° Fp W7/0° Fc, W7/90° Fp and W7/90° Fc ; are produced. Properties of Walsh functions are described in the paper by J. L. Walsh, "A Closed Set of Normal Orthogonal Functions", American Journal of Math, Vol. 45, pp. 5-24 (1923). Generation and use of electrical Walsh function signals is described by Takahashi et al in the paper "Application of Walsh Functions to an FM Stereo Demodulator", Journal of Audio Engineering Society, Vol. 33, No. 9, September 1985. Walsh functions designated W1, W2, etc. as used herein are as defined as in the latter paper.
The 90 degree-phase-shifted Walsh function demodulator comprised of mixers (multipliers) 14 and 22, and summing circuit 26, shown in FIG. 3, advantageously demodulates the 19 KHz pilot to zero frequency and leaves no corresponding DC voltage in the demodulated output. This is an important feature in the "blend-on-noise" decoder of this invention because the pilot of even a weak FM radio signal usually contains much more energy than does the nearly 4 KHz band of noise which is relied upon here to effect the blending.
With reference to FIG. 4, that demodulated noise accompanied by all other demodulated portions of the composite signal, e.g. the L+R and L-R portions, subsequently enters via conductor 27 the multiplier 52 which serves as a gain control circuit. It then enters a two-pole low pass filter circuit made up of the summing network 54; three unity gain buffer amplifiers 56, 57 and 58; resistors 60 and 62; capacitors 63, 64 and 65; amplifier 66 with a gain of five, amplifier 68 with a gain of 2.2; resistors 70 and 72; and capacitors 74 and 76. The feedback amplifier 80 has a low gain, e.g. only slightly greater than unity, and provides control of the overall gain at DC as an alternative to adding an expensive AC coupling capacitor via two additional IC terminals.
The filter is followed by a full wave rectifier 78 and smoothing capacitor 79 which is followed in turn by a threshold circuit comprised of unity gain buffer amplifiers 81 and 82; resistors 84 and 86; operational amplifier 88; and diodes 90 and 92. As long as the noise related signal voltage at one differential input 94 of amplifier 88 is lower than the reference voltage VR applied to the other differential input 96 of amplifier 88, the blend voltage at output conductor 31 remains at a level too high to effect any blending via mixers 36 and 38 shown in FIG. 3. But when the voltage at amplifier input 96 exceeds the threshold voltage VR, preferably set to occur when the L-R signal-to-noise ratio drops below about 35 db, the blend voltage decreases in proportion to increases in the detected noise, and blending is effected in direct proportion to increases in the detected noise whereby stereo separation diminishes toward the "monaural" listening mode. Component values for the blend voltage generating circuits are given in Table II.

The decoding circuit of FIG. 6 shows all of the components of the decoding circuit of FIG. 3 plus 90° shifted mixers 124 and 126, summing networks 128 and 130, and an FMX expander 132.
The summing networks 128 and 44 may be combined as one three-input summing network. Beyond such simple modification, the preferred decoding circuits shown in FIGS. 3 and 6 are representative of many that can be constructed for Walsh-function decoding and this invention would broadly encompass all such alternative decoding circuits. Neither do the inventors hereof wish to be limited by the particular blend-voltage-generation-circuit shown in FIG. 4 for which there are various logic-circuit alternatives.
In the preferred embodiment described here, the decoders are designed to specifically handle FM-radio transmissions, namely FM modulated transmissions with a composite signal in which the pilot and sub-carrier are 19 KHz and 38 KHz, respectively. This invention is however intended to encompass FM stereo TV transmissions, e.g. in which pilot and sub-carrier are at 15.75 KHz and 31.00 KHz, respectively, and FM radio data transmissions wherein the pilot and sub-carrier are at yet other harmonic related frequencies.
The decoder described herein above has been made as an integrated silicon circuit chip, using external discrete capacitors. The integrated circuit includes bipolar transistors and CMOS transistors. The Walsh function generator of this embodiment is implemented in CMOS circuitry occupying a very small area of the chip, whereas substantially all of the other circuits employ bipolar transistors. Such BiMOS integrated circuits of the prior art are described in Zunino U.S. Pat. No. 4,646,124 issued Feb. 24, 1987, Miles et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,225,877 issued Sept. 30, 1980 and in patent application Ser. No. 07/281,593 filed Dec. 9, 1988. These three references are assigned to the same assignee as is the present invention.
More detailed description relating to the operation of standard FM-and FMX-capable receivers under multipath conditions is provided in the patent application to T. Field and O. Richards entitled FM Stereo Tone Detector and the application by O. Richards entitled Stereo Decoder With Variable Bandpass. Both applications are assigned to the same assignee as is the present invention and both applications were filed concurrently with the present application.

Nice article on Yorman in the Billings Gazette. That newspaper does an excellent job of covering the Mustangs.
"The thing that sticks out, and the reason I fell in love with him, is his energy and how hard he plays," manager Delino DeShields says. "It's not that he hits home runs or that he has a great arm or any of that stuff. The main thing that got my attention about this young man was his passion and how hard he played the game.""He's a hell of a player. He's got all the skills you can ask for," Santos said. "His biggest improvement is going to be when he gets mature in the game. He'll understand that this is not only a job, it's a game. You've got to see it as a game and have some fun but also be responsible for everything you do.Full article:But the future is not too far away for Rodriguez.
"I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be in the major leagues at 21 or 22. Maybe sooner," DeShields said. "I can't see it going past that. I think at some point things are going to kick in for him. He's going to figure it out and he's going to take off."

Days 5 and 6: Baptism | Buying Sheep | Birthday Celebration
Day 5: Buying Sheep
Again, the weather was beautiful today. Not too hot and definitely, not too cold for us Americans. After getting things ready at the Guest House, we headed out for Hope For the Hopeless (H4H). This is a great organization that takes in kids that they find on the street, teach them about God's love, and try and reunite them to their parents. You can read about them on their website: www.hope4hopeless.org. The kids at this "drop center" located in Addis are amazing. Their love for each other, for us, and for the Lord is evident. We only spent about 10 minutes at the drop center to greet the kiddos and then we loaded everyone up into three vehicles to head out to Sulta, Ethiopia, where H4H has its boarding school. On our way to the school, we stopped and purchased five sheep from some sheep herders along the side of the street. The place where we stopped had about six or seven different "companies" selling sheep. We negotiated back and forth and finally came up with an agreed upon price (800 Birr for each sheep, or $43.06 each). Our goal was to get the sheep to give them to the H4H kids and adults to have a feast. With any good sheep meal you need to have bread...so we stopped at the local bakery. When I walked in, there was a wall full of large loafs of bread and then a "pit" full of bun-like loaves. We bought a hundred of each. I believe the total price for 200 pieces was around 320 Birr (I'll let you do the math this time ;-).
We finally made it out to Sulta where all of the kids were waiting. Each of us were immediately grabbed by one or two of the kids and given a full tour of the grounds (consisting of two soccer fields, a chicken house, a brand new school house, two dorms, a kitchen area, and one more building that I don't know what it is). After spending some time looking at the buildings, I was taken into two of the bigger kids' rooms. They had everything organized and a cool picture of Kelly Putty (she is the founder of Ordinary Hero...you know, the organization that we are serving with www.OrdinaryHero.org) hanging on their wall...really neat to see. While we were in there exchanging favorite Bible verses, I took them through Romans Road. If you don't know it, Google it...really simple way to walk someone through the reason you and I need a Savior and how was can be saved. Meanwhile, five little kids (about 8 years old) came running into the room and asked the bigger boys a question. They jumped on the other bed and huddled around a book. Then they got up and said "music" and ran off. I asked the older boys what they were doing and they said that they were looking up how to say a word in English...it was an Amharic to English dictionary :-)
When we walked outside, the boys suggested that we go play some futbol (soccer). Of course I did! This was the second annual Ethiopia vs. USA soccer match that I was going to be a part of. This year, we recruited some natives so that we could have a chance. Our goalie and two of our midfielders were Ethiopians. Needless to say, we needed them. Even though we played hard and pretty good, the Ethiopians in their flip flops controlled the ball any time they wanted to. Oddly enough, just like last year, the game ended in a tie (3-3). I'm pretty sure that this was intentional and that they enjoy shoot outs. After a second round of shoot outs, we ended up losing (great fun though)! We gathered together for both teams to be in a picture. So cool to play futbol with a mountain in the background in Africa!
After a popcorn ceremony, singing, and exchanging a lot of hugs and chows, we headed back home for a night of recapping and getting some extra rest.
Day 6: Birthday Celebration and Baptism
We woke up this morning ready to take on the world. We were excited to have several of the town boys go to church with us (Beza International Church). Some unbelievable singing and worship time! They had a guest speaker this morning (a man from Phoenix, Arizona). It was so wonderful to worship with so many different races and nationalities! A little slice of Heaven perhaps. After church, we went back to the guest house to enjoy a special birthday lunch (chicken legs and wings). The Guest House workers surprised Michelle Hancock with some birthday wishes on the table...Michelle thought they were awesome!
After a little downtime, we were off to the next stop, Korah Church to baptize Michelle Daly. Michelle gave her life to Jesus last year while serving in Ethiopia. I have personally known her since she was 13 when I coached her as a freshman in Oswego (Freshmen Girls' Basketball). I have watched her grow up, gave her her first teaching job, and now I was going to have the opportunity to baptize her! Talk about being thankful!
When we arrived at the Korah Church, they took me into the back and asked me if I was OK to baptize her in their tank that had a tiny bit of water in it. You see, sometimes the water to the faucet doesn't work because there is road work somewhere and they just cut the line. That was the case for the baptismal tub, no water. After some conversation, they decided to take 10 minutes and go buy 3 gallon jugs (5 Birr each) and fill up the tub. While waiting, I asked Bissy to share his testimony with the team. So very powerful what this man of God has had to go through. His perspective on life is amazing and we are thankful that God is using him in mighty ways.
By the time Bissy got done, the men were back with about eight jugs of water. They had me change into a special robe that carried a red cross on its chest (Kayla thought it was from the Red Cross). When we (Bissy, Michelle, and me) got into the tub, the Pastors of Korah sang a song...I can't remember what it was, but it was very awesome. I then had the opportunity to share my thoughts about Michelle and some Scripture.
John 14:6
English Standard Version (ESV)
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Ephesians 4:1-7
English Standard Version (ESV)
Unity in the Body of Christ
4 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.
After this, Bissy and I baptized Michelle in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! What an amazing testimony that Michelle had of her transformation during this past 12 months!
We then went back to the church area and the men gathered again for some more singing praising God for the salvation that Michelle was expressing. Awesome time! We changed and headed for Kaldi's to celebrate Michelle Hancock's birthday and Michelle Daly's baptism.
When we arrived at Kaldi's, I was able to find a waitress that somewhat knew the Happy Birthday song. They brought Michelle out a birthday cake and gave their best rendition of the song. I tipped them well for their attempt ;-) We enjoyed fries, pancakes, omelets, coffee, ice cream, pop, chicken sandwiches, and cake.
What a great way to fellowship with the Korah Pastors and with each other. Praying for a great night's sleep.
We will be heading to Woliso tomorrow. Woliso is where my son Jacob is from and we will be visiting his home there. We will be taking Jacob's Africa mom with us as she now lives in Addis Ababa. It is about a two hour drive out there. We are going to be visiting the orphanage there, Jacob's grandma's home, and grabbing some lunch in town. We will be taking hundreds of our blessing bags to bless the people in Woliso and to bless the people on the way back throughout the countryside. Please pray for opportunities to share God's love and salvation.
Many blessings, Phil

Personally, I thought the Microsoft Microsoft E3 conference was quite good—sure, they played it safe and didn't waste time on an abandoned Kinect, but they also did exactly what they should: show us the games.
If that's playing it safe, then by all means play it safe. I'd rather hear about the next Halo than the next motion-and-voice-censor peripheral anyways.
Beyond the Halo 5 footage and the remastered Halo collection coming to Xbox One this November, my favorite Xbox One pick was The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Check out Forbes' games page for coverage of this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo
Granted, this time around CD Projekt RED is bringing the story of monster hunter Geralt to both Xbox one and PS4 as well as PC. Its predecessor landed on PC before jumping to Xbox 360, never coming to PS3.
The gameplay demo at E3 Monday shows Geralt of Rivia on a hunt for a Griffin, stopping only briefly to flirt with a pretty local woman.
Combat definitely looks better in the third Witcher title. Geralt slides back to avoid incoming attacks. Animations are much more varied and fluid.
February can't come soon enough.
In fact, so many good looking games are either releasing or have been pushed back to 2015, I'm not sure how 2014 is supposed to compete.
Here's the footage from today's Xbox One conference:
What strikes me the most here is just how sprawling and ambitious this game appears to be. Geralt goes off to hunt a griffon, but he doesn't just go hunt the beast—he stops and talks to a woman on the way, in a fully voice-acted scene. Given the fact that CDP RED is claiming 100 hours of content, half of which is optional side-quest stuff and monster hunting, it's sort of extraordinary that they'd go to all that work to ensure everything was so fully produced.
But that's just one reason we all have such a crush on the Polish developer.

Price paid: $ 400
Purchased from: Furtados
Features: Mine is a Chinese made ESP VIPER 10. It has a rosewood fretboard with compete 24-frets. It has a glossy balck finish, although that's a bit of a problem as fingerprints show easily on the surface-requires regular cleaning. Like it's successors, it has a curved body with a slight tilt to one side. Its two humbuckers add a slight cruch effect to the clean sound. It came with a 10-watt amp, a 3m lead( which was of low quality and lasted 4 months) and a set of 3 marvellous picks. The amp has an overdrive option and produces satisfactory hard rock tones. // 9
Sound: I play a variety of genres such as rock, metal, punk, country and it adapts to each of them quite well, though I feel that it is most comfy playing the rock/metallic sounds. It comes with the ESP amp and it sounds heavenly on overdrive(no pedal required). It has a rich, deep sound and its not very noisy. It can play most kind of sounds and its perfectly compatible with slides, hammers, pull-backs and as a matter of fact even slap(as I realized while experimenting one day. Full marks to it! // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: The viper 10 is a sturdy piece of equipment. Its made of solid agathis wood. It has 3 smooth pick ups. The top is properly bookmatched. Its metallic knobs have a problem as with time they lose their Shine and slowly turn black. Otherwise, it rocks! This is a must buy. Wood is of excellent quality. // 9
Reliability & Durability: I have used this guitar in many gigs and have never been disappointed. It is a sturdy piece of equipment as I have said before. The hardware seems hard, solid and reliable. Once when I was playing at a concert, my strap tore at the strap button on the front side and my guitar fell on the floor. Fearing the worst and gauging that it had fallen with full force for about 3 feet, I thought it broken. But I checked and say that it just has and unnoticeable chip in the enamel. Hats off to it! I can definitely use this guitar in a gig without a backup as I have full Faith and trust in it. // 10
Overall Impression: Overall, the Viper 10 is a stunner. It is reliable, plays well and is worth every penny. The amp with it is compact. I have been playing for 3 yrs now and the Viper 10 has served me for 2 years now. I love its gothic features and this air of mysteriousness it has. I even prefer it to the viper 100. I compared it to the Yamaha Pacifica series and figuared that even without the whammy the Viper 10 owned it! I wish it had a whammy thugh but still, no complaints against it! // 10
Price paid: A$ 100
Features: Bog stndard s*** box. pickups average, brigde massive, frets massive. If you're looking for features go elswhere. // 1
Sound: Sounds pretty ordinary unless played through effects of some kind. If you want good sound go elsewhere // 1
Action, Fit & Finish: Was a friends guitar, but because the pickups and bridge were so high off the body, it was difficult to play. Beginners will love it... for about a day, when the novelty wears off.
Bridge has oxidized. Most bridges don't oxidize... ever. // 1
Reliability & Durability: If you're playing this live you're an idiot. I wouldn't depend on it for a single song.
The hardware will not last, it will pop out at some point because it is set so high up. // 1
Overall Impression: I play all kinds of music. I've been playing guitar for seven years, and this is the worst guitar I've ever played. And I've played a awful Legacy Stratocaster copy. If you want a beginners guitar, buy an Ibanez grx 20. A little bit pricier, but will last for ages. Heck, I'm still using mine. It is actually a brilliant starter guitar. I've had people with more expensive guitars comment on how good it is. Buy that instead.
By the way, I only put in ones because there is no zero. // 1

The hotel was new, room was a decent size compare to other Ibis styles. Price was reasonably okay, given the location. Need improvement on food.Be aware of the noise, as the sound proofing was not that great. Management need to put 'KEEP QUITE' big sign on the hallways.View management response »

"Wonderful 5 star ***** staff!"
16th August 2013, cazali71, Melbourne, Australia
We stayed 7 nights at Ibis Styles Bali Benoa and felt like family when we left. Wonderful staff, care and attention always! From the Splash Bar to Reception, all staff were attentive and offered fantastic service. Our family of four stayed in two interconnecting standard rooms which gave us plenty of space to relax after a busy day exploring. The hotel is situated at the start of Tanjung Benoa main street. The beautiful clean pool is a lovely treat to come home too! During our stay the hotel was running at 100% full, which is so nice to see on such a competitive hotel strip. The hotel is just 25 minutes away from the airport so it can also be used as a stopover, if you are exploring Bali further. A local driver will charge approx. 100,000 RPH, just over AUD10 for the transfer. Ibis Styles may be marketed as an economy choice but with that will come 5 ***** service! Thanks to the Management and Team.View management response »

"Nice designed hotel and comfortable to stay"
29th December 2012, nrplkdng, Jakarta, Indonesia
I stay for 2 nights with my family. The check in was easy and efficient and the room was nice and comfortable. The hotel has complimentary 15 mins snorkeling or 1 hour banana boat, but unfortunately it was not informed upon my checked in, I just knew it on my last day and it was too late because we already have another plan to do. It was an unfortunate because we stay there for water sport and we end up with disappointment by another water sport organizer the day before. The room was clean on the 1st day, but on the 2nd day the bathroom was not cleaned up. My kid loves the free internet spot and the swimming pool. Would be better if the hotel has shuttle bus to Kuta area, since using taxi in Bali is not comfortable.Will stay again if we visit Bali again.

Slated for the 2014 festival, the Annie Moses Band will perform on Oct. 10 to an anticipated packed house. The award-winning group of Juilliard-trained musicians and songwriters are known for their innovative sound and musical diversity.

Susan Orpett Long
Expertise: Japan, China, Anthropology, Sex and Gender, Public Health, and Medicine and Culture
Susan Orpett Long specializes in anthropology and East Asian Studies. She did her undergraduate work at the University of Michigan and received her MA and PhD in anthropology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She became interested in Japan when she was sent there as an AFS exchange student in high school, knowing little more than how to count to ten and say "sayonara." The intensive experience of a year in such a historically rich culture stimulated her interest in anthropology and encouraged her to continue her study of Japanese language and society.
Dr. Long has been teaching full time at John Carroll University since 1989 and was promoted to Professor in 2000. She regularly teaches the following courses:
Introduction to East Asia
Introduction to Anthropology; Japanese Society; Public Health in US Society
Sex and Gender; Medicine and Culture; Health & Healing in East Asia; Popular Culture in Japan
Internship in Population and Public Health
She was John Carroll University's first Coordinator of East Asian Studies, working with other faculty and administrators to develop this international program. The East Asian Studies program involves regular and special courses, student exchange, extracurricular lectures and concerts, hosting conferences and workshops, and working with schools and museums in the area to improve education about East Asia. Dr. Long served as project director of a federally funded program to increase the number of licensed Japanese language teachers in area high schools.
Dr. Long has been actively conducting research on Japanese women, family, care of the elderly, medical systems, and bioethics and end-of-life decision-making. She has published numerous articles and book chapters.

Things I liked:Seems to be well made. Rod swivels easily in handle.
Things I would have changed:Is a little pricey for the item.
Things I liked:This product is very nice. The pivoting handel allows for easy cleaning and it accepts other brands of jigs and cleaning tips easily (make sure they are the same thread). Shaft is nylon coated to prevent scratching.
Things I would have changed:I would make the tool about 3 to 4 inches longer so it fits throught a rifle's barrel. The tool worked well but was a little short for my Beeman pellet gun.
What others should know:Pistols and short barrel rifles will have 0 problems with this tool. If you have a longer barrel this tool works well but is a little short.
Things I liked:This is the perfect rod size for cleaning .177 air and BB pistols and turns out to be really good for cleaning .22 rimfire pistols too.
Things I would have changed:A "T" handle rather than the handle it currently has might be a bit easier on older hands but this is no big deal.
What others should know:The included jag leaves the patch inside the receiver when you withdraw the rod. For a pistol like the Beretta PX4 Storm Air Pistol which doesn't have much room in the "ejector port", substitute the Loop for .177 instead of the jag.

I think I like the Glock 23 the best. .40 S&W is potent and shootable. The Glock 23 has a good balance between capacity and concealability. I like the Glock 19 also, but I'd sacrifice two rounds to have .40 S&W instead of 9mm.

When it comes to David Beckhams tattoos, you thought he could do no wrong, right? After all, David Beckham is known as much for his fashion sense and his tattoo collection as he is for his skills on the soccer field, and most of the attention has been positive. Fans of David Beckham adore the soccer star's tribute tattoos to sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, for example, as well as his new chest tat for baby Harper. And despite the minor snafu associated with Beckham's misspelled "Victoria" arm tat, David Beckham's sleeve tattoos and other body tats have also garnered positive attention from the media. David Beckhams neck tattoo, however…not so much.
Neck tattoos are common among women with long hair who can cover up the tat if they want to. For guys like Beckham though, you better be sure you love your neck tat, because it's going to be seen every time you step out of the house. David Beckham's neck tattoo was one of the first pieces of art the soccer star got inked on his body (and he's gotten over a dozen more since), but it's one that both fans and foes will have fresh on their minds every time they see Beckham…from behind, that is.
Winged Cross Tattoo
In the midst of the 2004 UEFA Championships, David Beckham decided that he needed a new tattoo…immediately. So what did he do? He had the Manchester-based celebrity tattoo artist Louis Malloy, who has inked most of David Beckham's tattoos, flown in to Madrid to ink his neck tattoo. David Beckhams neck tattoo features a four-by-six-inch, Gothic-style outline of a cross accompanied by two intricately-inked angel's wings. David Beckham's tattoo is located on the back of his neck, just above the "Romeo" tat Beckham had inked in 2002, and loosely mimics the winged guardian angel inked on Beckham's back. David Beckhams tattoo was inked on the same day the international soccer star announced that he would be staying with Real Madrid, and that his wife and children would be moving to Spain to join him.
Although Beckham was pleased with the results of his neck tattoo, British fans had mixed reactions. According to some, the winged cross neck tattoo and newly Beckham's shaved head made him look like a "hooligan." When David Beckhan's tattoo graced the cover of The Mirror in 2004, the tabloid said the design, stretching from ear to ear, left the shaven Beckham "looking more like a soccer thug than the England captain," while the top-selling Sun newspaper said Beckham had gone from "fab to yob." Curious about David Beckhams tattoo meaning? According to Malloy, "It's a religious iconography. Like a protective talisman over his children." He continued, "David just loves his tattoos. He's a very good customer."

Product description
Described as an answer to or at least an echo of Samuel Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape", Austrian playwright and novelist Peter Handke's "Till Day You Do Part Or A Question of Light" is a monologue delivered by the 'she' in Beckett's play. This unnamed female similarly recalls other significant female protagonists in Handke's own work, such as The Left-handed Woman. Handke prefaces the monologue in "Till Day You Do Part Or A Question of Light" with a description of two stone figures. While the male figure remains 'as dead and gone as anyone can', the female bursts into life, and her monologue gradually focuses on Krapp's use of pauses and language to dominate the other characters in the Beckett play. Ultimately, however, her complaints and critique of Krapp become a declaration of her love for Krapp or at least an affirmation of their attachment, as the two of them are ultimately bound together, perhaps even inseparable. "Till Day You Do Part Or A Question of Light" is Handke at his best, evidencing the great skill, psychological acumen, and vision for which his work has been celebrated.

Author information
Peter Handke was born in Griffen, Austria, in 1942. His many works of fiction include Absence; Across; The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick; and Short Letter, Long Farewell. Mike Mitchell has worked as a literary translator since 1995.
Review quote
"The David Byrne of fiction: a writer with a resonant, powerfully direct voice who could invoke the particular Sartrean nausea of post-modern existence in the simplest events." - New York Times "In power and vision and range, Peter Handke is the most important new writer on the international scene since Beckett." - Stanley Kaufmann "There is no denying Handke's willful intensity and knife-like clarity of emotion. He writes from an area beyond psychology, where feelings acquire the adamancy of randomly encountered, geologically analyzed pebbles. The best writer, altogether, in his language." - John Updike, New Yorker"

In a recent Gallup poll Obama has a 61% job-approval rating. Not bad (although the president's showing among all polls has been less positive of late). His Achilles heel however is his fiscal policy. "At the low end of the spectrum, only 45% of Americans approve of Obama's handling of federal spending, and 46% of his handling of the federal budget deficit." And on the economy more generally, Gallup finds:
Obama's job approval rating for his handling of the economy has dropped from 59% in February to 55% today, while his disapproval rating has risen by 12 points, from 30% to 42%. The fact that Obama's approval on the economy has become more negative over this time period is of interest, given that Gallup's measure of consumer mood has become more positive between March and the current time.
Might it be that Americans don't like a $1.8 trillion deficit, nationalization of car companies, and a $787 billion stimulus plan that hasn't done much of anything (except "scam" some people and balloon the national debt)? It seems those rubes who showed up at the Tea Party protests were more in tune with the majority of Americans than the Obama team and the Congress. But stay tuned — let's see what happens if Congress passes a mammoth energy tax in the guise of cap-and-trade, unemployment continues to rise, or General Motors doesn't miraculously turn around. In other words, this is likely to be the high point in the popularity of the Obama economic agenda.

Spartanburg, S.C. – The Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team defeated Wofford 3-2 Saturday night in a thrilling five-set match in Spartanburg, S.C., to claim its first Southern Conference win of the season. The match saw the score tied 35 times and the lead change on 15 occasions. The Mocs are now 1-1 in the SoCon with their only loss coming against Furman Friday afternoon.
"It is a great win for us," Head Coach Travis Filar said. "We showed a lot of toughness by getting a win on the road. We were very sharp and consistent in the first two sets and we responded well in the fifth."
Sophomore Julimar Alvarado (San Juan, Puerto Rico) excelled against the Terriers, collecting 10 kills and recording a .200 attacking percentage. The middle blocker also recorded four assisted blocks en route to the 3-2 win. Overall, Chattanooga totaled 49 kills with its most coming in the first set.
Freshman Allie Davenport (Tyrone, Ga.) led with 14.0 points, including nine kills and two blocks. Sophomore Sarah Batterton (Colbert, Wash.) also recorded nine kills and recorded one block.
Chattanooga's 15 kills in the first frame gave it the extra momentum needed to claim a 26-24 victory. While the Terriers also totaled 15 kills in the set, eight errors cost the home team the loss. A seven-point rally keyed the Mocs comeback from a 21-17 deficit.
UTC took the second set as well 25-20. The Terriers rolled over as seven multi-point rallies gave the Mocs a 2-0 match-lead into the intermission.
Wofford returned from the locker room to claim back-to-back sets over UTC, taking the third 26-24 and the fourth 25-16 to even the match 2-2 forcing the deciding set.
The two teams didn't spare on the dramatics in the fifth set. Much like the previous four frames of the match, a tug-of-war between them sent the set into extra points. Again, errors cost the home team.
Chattanooga was nearly flawless with just three errors and nine kills. Wofford had nine kills but seven errors gave the Terriers a .069 hitting percentage. UTC took the set 16-14, and the match 3-2, scoring five of the last six points in the match.
The Mocs return home next weekend hosting Appalachian State Friday at 6 p.m., and Western Carolina Saturday at 3 p.m. Samford visits the Scenic City Wednesday for a midweek matchup beginning at 7 p.m.

McGarvey, colleagues net $1.5M grant for Southwest Virginia Health Wagon
Public Health Sciences chair William A. Knaus, M.D., and David Cattell-Gordon, M.Div., M.S.W., Director of Rural Network Development in the University of Virginia Health System's Office of Telemedicine recently announced the receipt of a $1.493 million grant from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund the operations of the St. Mary's Health Wagon in Southwest Virginia. The grant was authored in part by Elizabeth McGarvey, Ed.D., Associate Professor of Public Health Policy and Practice in the department of Public Health Sciences. The funding effort was a collaborative venture involving The Health Wagon, University of Virginia Schools of Medicine and Nursing, the University of Virginia at Wise nursing program, and the Mountain State Health Alliance
"I wanted to share this e-mail from David Cattell-Gordon and to acknowledge Elizabeth McGarvey for her great work-," Knaus wrote in forwarding the announcement to the department, "work illustrative of the extraordinary collaborative spirit that the Department of Public Health Sciences represents each day."
The Health Wagon is a mobile clinic providing free health care services to under-served populations in rural Southwest Virginia. Teresa Gardner, D.N.P. is Executive Director of the Health Wagon and Principal Investigator on the HRSA grant.
"This is obviously a major deal for the Health Wagon and for Southwest Virginia with UVA School of Nursing as a major partner. It also includes a role for the nursing program at UVA-Wise. As a workforce grant, it will send a strong positive message to the region." Cattell-Gordon wrote in his announcement of the award. "Many kudos go to Dr. McGarvey in Public Health (Sciences) who was a major author on this and represents the School of Medicine on this grant and will serve as the evaluator and a number of other functions."

Polish manufacturer PZL-Świdnik has announced plans to fly an unmanned/optionally-piloted version of its single-engined SW-4 helicopter, revealing the development during the 3-6 September MSPO exhibition in Kielce, Poland.
"The maiden flight of the Solo prototype, in a piloted configuration, is expected not later than June 2013," said Nicola Bianco, managing director of the AgustaWestland-owned company. "But we want to fly it earlier."
Bartosz Glowacki
The Solo is a development of the SW-4 Puszczyk trainer, 20 of which are used by the Polish Air Force Academy in Deblin.
Świdnik last year began piloted flight tests to collect the data needed to develop an unmanned version, with software development for its flight management system and ground control station being conducted by AgustaWestland in Italy.
Powered by one Rolls-Royce M250 C20R/2 engine producing 457shp (336kW), the development would be capable of performing a range of military and law enforcement tasks, carrying surveillance and communications equipment. It could also be armed for some battlefield duties, or fly cargo supply and medical evacuation sorties.
Sources suggest that the Italian armed forces could have a requirement for the Solo, although no official requirements have been published.

So Usher wants you all to know that he certainly did NOT fire his mama/manager Jonetta Patton, and it most definitely was not because his wife Tameka didn't want her around. In an interview with Vibe, Usher set the story straight: "I decided to not fire, not get rid of, but to give [my mother] the ultimate compliment ? to retire her to be a full-time grandmother." He added, "My mother and I decided to change her situation, together. There was a conversation. I didn't write her a letter or pink slip her."
This still sounds fishy to us – we're calling cover up! He of course then went on to gush over his lady love, saying, "The swagger I possess now definitely comes from my wife. And my son completes me. He changes my perspective on what life is, and what matters."
Blah blah blah. When did Usher get so peaceful and zen? We want some drama, but no way does Tameka let her man go there.
