This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 068,877 filed on July 1, 1987, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,801,896.
The invention relates to radio frequency tuners, and more particularly to such tuners which employ phase-locked-loops as frequency generation elements, and most particularly to phase detectors used in such phase-locked loop radio frequency tuners.
Phase-locked-loops are commonly used in circuits to produce a precise, stable frequency. They can be used both as an oscillator in a receiver to detect signals of prescribed frequency and as a frequency synthesizer in a transmitter to generate an output signal having a selectively variable frequency. The basic elements of a phase-locked-loop (PLL) include a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for producing an output signal having a controlled frequency, a detector for comparing the phase of the output signal with that of a predetermined reference signal and for producing an error signal representing the detected phase difference, and a loop filter for filtering the error signal and coupling it to the VCO to controllably adjust the output signal's frequency.
A common use of PLL frequency synthesizers is in frequency hopping radio communications systems which are used for secure communications. These systems use radio transmitters and receivers which hop in synchronization from one frequency to another in a predetermined sequence, transmitting and receiving a small part of a message on each frequency. The security of the frequency hopping technique depends both upon the choice of frequencies and upon the hopping rate. Increasing the hopping rate increases the difficulty of unauthorized monitoring stations in determining the hopping patterns and following the hopping sequence.
The frequency hopping rate is limited primarily by the time required for PLL's to change from one frequency to another. The frequency change rate is affected by a number of factors. For example, the bandwidth of the PLL loop filter significantly limits the frequency change rate. More relevant to the present invention, however, are the limitations due to the phase detector.
Prior art phase detectors of the differential type are subject to "cycling" outside the desired phase lock range as the phase relationship between the reference signal and the VCO output signal changes. This results in an error signal which varies with phase angle, and over several 2π phase ranges exhibits a triangular, "sawtooth" waveform. It is the average level of this signal which is used to urge the VCO toward the desired lock-in range. With the triangular waveforms of prior art detectors, this voltage, and the resulting slew rate, is only 50 per cent of theoretical due to cycling. The VCO output frequency thus changes more slowly than if the peak signal level were used.
Prior art phase detectors are also subject to an ambiguity since it is not possible to determine from the cycling phase detector error signal whether the PLL is within or without the desired lock-in range and thus a momentary false lock-in indication is given. Consequently, there is no positive indication of lock-in, and a transmitter cannot be limited to operation only while positively locked onto the selected frequency.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved PLL.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a PLL which locks onto the desired frequency more quickly.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a PLL which permits operation of a radio transmitter only when the PLL is locked onto the desired frequency.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a PLL which provides a smoother change from one frequency to another.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an improved phase detector for use in PLL's.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a phase detector which provides a higher level error signal for control of a VCO, outside the desired lock-in range.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a phase detector which provides a positive lock-in indication.
With these and other objects in view, a phase detector circuit operative in response to first and second input signals includes means to generate a signal indicative of the phase relationship between the first and second input signals and means for decoupling first and second input signals from the generating means when a detecting means identifies a phase relationship between the first and second signals which is outside a predetermined range.
The invention may be more fully understood by reading the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a phase locked loop circuit employing the present invention.,
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a phase detector in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 (a,b,c) is a series of timing diagrams illustrating aspects of the operation of the phase detector of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 (a,b,c,d) is a series of graphs comparing the error voltage produced by phase detectors of the prior art and by that of the present invention as a function of phase angle θ; and
FIG. 5 is a graph comparing the frequency change of the latched phase detector of the present invention to the non-latched phase detectors of the prior art.
Referring to FIG. 1, a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit in which the present invention may be used is shown. The phase detector 10 of the present invention is fed a clock signal R from a reference frequency source 12 and a variable signal V from feedback loop 14. Phase detector 10 provides differential output signals QR at line 16 and QV at line 18, the state of QR and QV being representative of the phase difference between signals R and V. The difference between QR and QV is integrated by integrator 20 to produce a DC signal representative of the phase difference between signals R and V.
The integrator output is passed through a low pass filter 22 to remove high frequency components, and the resultant voltage is fed to a voltage controlled oscillator 24 which produces an output signal FO.
A portion of signal FO is fed back to a 1/N divider 26 which in conjunction with an input device represented by arrow 28 comprises a tuning apparatus. The output from divider 26 is fed to phase detector 10 as signal V. L Thus, as the divide ratio of 1/N divider 26 is changed by input device 28, phase detector 10 and integrator 20 together produce an error voltage at the input 23 of VCO 24 which is representative of the phase difference between reference signal R and variable signal V. The error voltage changes the output frequency of VCO 24, and this process continues until signals R and V are in phase and the PLL is thus "locked in."When the loop is tuned to a new frequency by input device 28, and the divider ratio of divider 26 is changed, signals R ∂ V are forced out of phase, and the VCO frequency is again changed until a new locked condition is attained.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a block diagram of phase detector 10 and integrator 20 of FIG. 1 are shown. Essentially, phase detector 10 comprises 2π proportional phase, or "type-1", detectors 30 and 32 which slave a differential, or "type-2", phase detector 34 as hereinafter described. Proportional phase detectors 30 and 32 are well known in the art, and their detailed construction and operation will not be repeated here. A description of this type of phase detector is found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,431,509 to Andrea and 4,500,852 to Phillips, which are incorporated herein by reference. Likewise, differential phase detector 34 is well-known in the art and is described in application notes for phase frequency detector devices MC4344 and MC4044 by Motorola Semiconductor Products, Inc., Box 20912, Phoenix, AZ. 85036, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Normally differential phase detector 34 operates as illustrated in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3(a), a series of pulses representing reference signal R and variable signal V are shown having a time varying phase relationship. Pulses V are shown as negative-going while pulses R are shown as positive-going, but it should be understood that the relative polarities are unimportant and may be taken into account using well-known standard circuit design techniques. Further, although signals R and V may actually be square waves in their original form, the use of edge-triggered devices in the circuitry effectively convert them to the pulse form as illustrated. It should be noted that the pulse spacing of signal R is not equal to the pulse spacing of signal V, to represent a frequency difference. Immediately after time tO, the V pulses lead the R pulses by increasing amounts, until the phase difference disappears and they are in phase at time tL, and again at time tN after another whole cycle has slipped.
The outputs QR and QV of differential phase detector 10 are shown
in FIG. 3(b) and 3(c), respectively. Waveforms QR and QV comprise a series of rectangular waveforms whose width is proportional to the phase difference between signals R and V. As is characteristic of this type of phase detector, the QR output provides a signal when the R pulse is leading the V pulse, and the QV output provides a signal when the V pulse is leading the R pulse.
If the pulse streams R and V in FIG. 3(a) were to be continued prior to tO, the QR output pattern would be repeated the same as between tO and tL. Similarly, if the pulse streams R and V were to be continued after tN, the QV output pattern would be repeated the same as between tL and tN.
When signals QR and QV are integrated by integrator 20 and filtered by LPF 22, the average voltage at point 23 varies as shown in FIG. 4(a) as the phase of R and V is varied over several complete cycles. Note that the integrator generates the integral of the difference between QR and QV as indicated by the polarity symbols at the input of integrator 20. Note that the waveform repeats itself before -2π and after +π. Thus, the differential phase detector does not provide a stable lock indicator signal within the range L which is defined as -2π<θ<2θ. If the output voltage is a level +V1, for example, it is not possible to know whether the phase relationship is a point 402, 404, or 406, for example. Thus, for any voltage level it is impossible to determine whether the PLL is in the lock range L or whether it is outside the range L and is merely "cycling." The ambiguity reflects itself in the lock monitor signal shown in FIG. 4(b). In addition to the correct lock signal at 408, erroneous lock monitor signals are also provided at 410, 412, 414, and 416.
Returning now to FIG. 2 the purpose of proportional phase detectors 30 and 32 is to detect when the phase relationship between signals R and V is outside the 4π lock range L [see FIG. 4(a)] and to prevent R and V pulses from entering differential phase detector 34 if that phase relationship exists. In effect differential phase detector 34 is slaved to proportional phase detectors 30 and 32. More particularly, reference signal R and variable signal V as previously described are both simultaneously fed to proportional phase detectors 30 and 32. Signal R is delayed in the input to phase detector 30 by an amount A by delay device 36, and signal V is similarly delayed in the input to phase detector 32 by an amount B by delay device 36. Delay devices 36 and 38 delay signals R and V to compensate for propagation delays in the various components comprising phase detector 10.
Phase detector 30 operates by searching for two V pulses in a row before receiving an R pulse. This condition indicates that the phase relationship has exceeded the 2π range for that detector. When this condition occurs, the "D" input of a flip flop 40 will be in a low state during its clock "C" (from input V), which lowers the logic level on line 42 and prevents the R pulse on line 44 from passing through AND-gate 46 to differential phase detector 34 via line 48. A return to the locked state occurs when there are two R pulses in a row before a V pulse, which causes the "D" input 31 to return to a high state during the clock V, thereby allowing the differential phase detector 34 to be clocked by R. Thus, proportional phase detector 30 and the described associated components prevent passage of R pulses to differential phase detector 48 if the phase relationship is outside the 2π range of detector 30.
The other one-half of the 4π lock range L is controlled by a similar circuit comprised of proportional phase detector 32, a flip flop 50, and an AND-gate 56. Thus if two R pulses in a row are detected before a V pulse, flip flop 50 is toggled lowering the logic level on line 52, thereby preventing the passage of V pulses from line 54 through AND-gate 56 to differential phase detector 34 via line 58. Two V pulses in a row will be detected by the proportional phase detector 32, causing flip-flop 50 to toggle to a high level, allowing V pulses to again clock the differential phase detector 34.
Lock monitor signals are provided by flip-flops 41 and 51. Flip-flop 41 has its "C" input coupled to the V signal on line 29 and its output to line 31 through a delay device 43. Similarly, flip-flop 51 is coupled at its "C" input to signal V on line 27 and at its "D" input to line 33 through a delay device 53.
The QR and QV outputs from differential phase detector 34 are coupled to the inverting (-) and non-inverting (+) inputs 16 and 18, respectively, of integrator 20. Integrator 20 is of conventional design, having resistors 60 and 62 coupled to the inverting and non-inverting inputs 61 and 63, respectively, of a differential operational amplifier 64. Op amp 64 has a feedback path from its output 66 through a capacitor 68 and a resistor 70 to inverting input 61, and a corresponding resistor 69 and capacitor 71 from the non-inverting input 63 to ground. The output 66 of op amp 64 is coupled to low pass filter 22 (FIG. 1) in line 21.
The resulting waveform at line 21 is shown in FIG. 4 (c). Below -2π the output voltage on lines 21 and 23 (FIG. 1) for controlling VCO 24 is a constant -V1, while above 2π the control voltage is a constant +V. Thus, for any voltage +V, an unambiguous phase relationship 418 is provided and a positive lock-in indication is given. In addition, lock-in speed, or slew rate, is increased since the average voltage below -2π and above 2π is greater for the waveform of FIG. 4(c) than for that of FIG. 4(a). Specifically, the average voltage of the repetitive triangular waves of FIG. 4(a) is only one-half that of the constant voltage level of FIG. 4(c). This faster tune characteristic is illustrated in FIG. 5 in that the latched type detector of the present invention provides a more steeply sloped frequency change rate than the non-latched type phase detector of the prior art. Further, the application of the stable voltage from the latched type phase detector of the present invention provides a smoothly varying output frequency Fo as VC0 24 changes from frequency F1 and seeks a new lock condition at frequency F2, as illustrated in FIG. 5. By contrast the sawtooth lock in voltage provided to the VCO by the non-latched phase detector of the prior art produces a varying and abruptly changing rate of frequency change as the VCO changes from F1 to F2, as also illustrated in FIG. 5.
The lock monitor signal corresponding to the error signal waveform of FIG. 4(c) is shown in FIG. 4(d). A positive lock signal 420 corresponding to the 4π range of the detector is provided by flip-flops 41 and 51, in comparison to the signal of FIG. 4(b) which is cluttered with false indications.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is obvious that minor changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the true scope and spirit of the invention. It is the intention in the appended claims to cover all such changes and modification.

Where is all the blah blah blah now?
Im sorry to disappoint you but I bought at 9.35. Bancrupt? I don't think so. And by the way I own my own home with no mortgage.
"in the long run, excellent copanies continue to reward their investors"
Both accounts I called the top, what s the point of paying 26 when you knwo the BIGGER PICTURE and you can get it cheaper i.e the teens..
"You are "faught" with misinformation"
Its called reading through the BS and understanding whats relevant to now.
Bottom line is the Stock has gone down as I have had said..
BOTTOM LINE that means you made $ if you follwoed that advice..
Again as you can see mr whippet got a 5 star rating * 4 ratings. If oyu bought on that advice as he recommends "STRONG BUY" you would be down 10%,
however i warned about this at 27 and now its 21.5, you work out the maths on that one, how much I saved you..
Going forward it will be cheaper i.e teens.
Apologies mis-information on inflation, its 1.8% on imports for THIS MONTH!!!!!.
This is DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH FOR YOY.
Now can the fed cut into this, of course they can but if they do when the dust settles...
Come on Ben, lower rates, the bullets are loaded.
Bring it on you Stupid Fc@k...
Us Foreigners need to make some $ for Grinchmas.
Loving it...loving it..Loving it..
For the Record back in Cash.
"He shorts when he should be buying then he changes to a buy when he should be shorting, and now he's short. The guy is the WORST loser on this board"
Hello, how are you today Covettegirl.. Still long are we since the 5th...Again I am right...
Wheres CORNING now you pump monkey with blinkers..
Oh yeah, hows inflation, now heres a figure the Fed play with..
Inflation on IMPORTS...
1.8%a announced today,
WHY because your fcuking stupid Fed Chairman reduced rates going into a commodity boom..
$5 Gas here we go..
For any Newbies on this Board, Beware fo the Pumo monkeys on this board. Someone in the Click makes a Post and all his/her friends rate it..
Also it is well known, but not written down or ever acknowledged by any company that most boards have a few well paid Pump monkeys, pumping the same news (E.G LCD Screens Demands high, New orders with a Hotel Chain, Fiber going to take off) These news stories rotate every couple of weeks and get re-scripted by different analysts and posted here.
If you followed most of the clowns on this board you would have bought at 26 and you would now be email@example.com..
With good trading advice like it wont take long before your bankrupt..
OH YEAH My favourite of All "its different this time because its global growth"
Thanks for letting me know about the loser. I'm new to the board but I've been following Corning for a while and I'm a big believer.
"Your attempt at timing the market is, in my view, a risky one especially with Corning. Comparing Corning to last years price is hilarious! You are "faught" with misinformation:-))))"
His timing?. He shorts when he should be buying then he changes to a buy when he should be shorting, and now he's short. The guy is the WORST loser on this board.
Mr. Whippet:
Faugh is a harmless alarmist. I have stopped responding to his posts only because it is clear he ignores anything that does not fit his doomsday scenario and while I don't mind engaging in an intelligent debate, I get bored with repetitive histrionics...:-)
Yes he does post misinformation. He repeatedly posts negative comments (some of which he distorts....Gartman did not say "CFC was going to zero"...he said he "wouldn't be surprised if it did"...:-) by Gartman, but ignores Gartman's comments in the same interview that state he agrees with Barton Biggs that the stock market "will melt up, not down" into the end of this year. That doesn't support Faugh's hypothesis, so it is ignored...:-)
He uses the old curmudgeon, Jim Rogers, who has been negative on the U.S. for many years (and has moved to Singapore) as a source for validation of Faugh's views, but neglects to mention that in the same interview he linked, Rogers twice admitted to being "the world's worst short term trader." "I am usually wrong."
He repeatedly asserts that the government economic figures are bogus, then posts a link to a speech by a Fed Governor that makes clear that the numbers are accurate, but only argues how much weight should be given to "non-core" inflation. Of course, both core and non-core inflation numbers are released each month and neither are particularly high.
He posts the typical doom and gloom pre-Christmas articles from breathless journalists suggesting that this Christmas is going to be weak. But, of course, the article predicted GROWTH of 4-4.5% in sales. Admittedly slower than the last few years (IF their forecast turns out to be accurate), but GROWTH, nonetheless.
As I say, I think Faugh is harmless. It is human nature to get caught up in panic scenarios....some people really get a "rush" from them. I still have my copy of the best seller "THE GREAT DEPRESSION of 1990" written in 1985 by Dr. Ravi Batra. Glad I didn't bet my money on it, though...:-)
So, let's assume you are correct.....so what? This game has been going on for quite some time. Corning is a solid company poised for growth because of their market position and first class technology. Maybe the market will fall 200 pts tomorrow, maybe it will go up 200 pts....in the long run, excellent copanies continue to reward their investors. Your attempt at timing the market is, in my view, a risky one especially with Corning. Comparing Corning to last years price is hilarious! You are "faught" with misinformation:-))))
Another Source: That proves my point on inflation that they numbers the Government tell you are B/S.
To arrive at this rate, the government had to assume that inflation during the quarter ran at an annualized rate of .8%. That is the lowest rate of inflation used to calculate U.S. GDP since the Eisenhower administration. With oil priced at almost $100 per barrel, gold futures trading over $800 per ounce, the dollar hitting record lows, and the Fed printing money like it is going out of style, the government has the nerve to claim that current inflation is the lowest it has been in half a century. Unbelievable!
"Just in case there is some confusion, the government adjusts nominal GDP gains using the GDP deflator, which represents the inflation rate during the time period being measured. This is done to strip inflation out of the GDP calculation so that only real growth gets counted: not nominal gains that result purely from inflation."
The consensus estimate for 3rd quarter GDP growth was 3.4%. The reason we beat that number was that the government adjusted the nominal 4.7% gain by a mere .8%. Had the government assumed a higher rate of inflation, say 2.6% (identical to the rate used to deflate second quarter GDP,) the 3rd quarter gain would have been only 2.1%, well shy of the consensus forecast.
I wouldn't pay much attention to the idiot faugh45568. He intentionally posts misinformation. Your posts are spot on correct! This guy has an ax to grind with our government. Why he takes it out on Corning and the investors....I don't know? He probably got caught in the tech bubble years ago and he was the bagholder with Corning.

Dash and Jump should be two different buttons. Other than that, great job.
You can now customize the game controls to make Dash and Jump separate buttons. However, be aware that most Keyboards can't detect more than 3 or 4 key presses at the same time. Good luck!

sunday morning tinged folk pop, ala beach boys/nick drake,
This review is from: Fleet Foxes (Audio CD)
This album is by far one of the best things to come out in 2008. i hadnt heard a great deal by this band but i was drawn to the depth and consideration which had went inot the album artwork.
Its hard to pin point a particular artist to which to compare fleet foxes too, its more like a combination of many, midlake, nick drake, neil young, my morning jacket.
All of which are most def worth a listen if you like this album. to me there isnt a bad track on the album and everyone is a musical array on the ears, star spangled, acid tinged pop/folk at its very finest.
To me there are a few stand out tracks on the album, 'ragged wood' is by far my favourite, its one of those tracks which you hope never ends or is constantly on repeat! its like two or three songs in one, constant tempo and beat changes throughout the song, a most ecclectic haunting voice throughout.
'He doesnt know why' is another stand out track, this is something you could imagine a slowed down beach boys to sound like, poppy tambourine beats and catchy words to hum along to. In fact most tracks on the album are my favourites but just wanted to pick out a few of the best in my opinion.
Like i mentioned there isnt a bad track on album, its not a long album so its highly unlikey you will get sick of it. ive had it for months now and still remains a constant favourite on my decks!

If you do this long enough, you know the go-to person for every occasion. Even field hockey. Yes, field hockey. The sport where "third party" is an infraction. And a good topic to avoid if you ever want to be invited to a fourth party.
Then there's Tooch. That's Jenna Tucchio to the uninitiated. She's the coach at Stonington High. She's the local frame of reference to the game.
And we make fun of football coaches for obsessing over their sport's minutiae? Tooch is a field hockey coach with a football cultivation. She doesn't like her sport. She looooooooves it. And works just as hard at the craft as all the football guys who start answering inquiries from their wives about what they want for dinner with, "I don't know. I'll have to watch the film."
Tooch was standing along the fence Friday night at the football game wearing the temporarily relieved look of a coach whose season had just survived Game 1 of the knockout round. How fitting, really, that she chose to watch a few plays of the football game. Not just because of her kindred spirit to the gridiron. Also because she's a case study in how expectations frame so much of how we watch sports.
There are mondo expectations for field hockey in the land of brown and white.
There aren't many for football.
Which is why perhaps nobody realizes the noteworthy accomplishments of both teams this weekend.
Field hockey just beat Granby in the state quarterfinals. Based on our discussions about field hockey in previous paragraphs, it has likely gone unnoticed that the Bears just beat the Yankees. Granby is the three-time defending state champion and has 13 state titles since 1973. Major victory.
Football defeated Plainfield and won the ECC Small Division. Bet observers of high school football in our corner of the world would be surprised to learn that victory gave the Bears an overall 33-18 record since 2007, complementing their three division titles.
And yet �
Field hockey is expected to win the ECC every year and finally add to that lone state championship banner in the gym, honoring the 1987 team. The scorecard almost doesn't begin until November.
Tucchio runs her program on that tenuous piece of real estate east of the rock and west of the hard place. She's the overdog in the ECC because of the program's tradition and her own diligence. Problem is, nobody knows enough about the sport to realize she's the underdog in the state tournament, perpetually playing opponents in towns where the sport is entrenched even more than here.
Field hockey in Connecticut has always been a production of women named Cookie, Dot and Babby, among others. They're still waiting for "Tooch," whose team plays in the semifinals today against Immaculate of Danbury. Win or lose, though, the weekend's accomplishment should be noted. They just beat Granby.
Football, meanwhile, is one of the little guys in the conference, an afterthought most years. Who knew 33 wins have happened since 2007?
"Really?" coach A.J. Massengale said. "We have that many? I didn't know that. We have great kids. Great groups that are very coachable. Stonington is a great place, it really is. Everybody does their part. It's something we talk about. It doesn't matter who gets the credit."
Stonington is a small school and remains one of the dying educational outposts that doesn't have a mechanism to attract students from other towns.
"You get what you get," Massengale said. "We get good kids. The feeder programs are doing a great job. My kids (including Ben Massengale, Stonington's chief water boy) are playing there now."
Massengale has also managed to teach his players the art of acting like they've been there before in victory. That's because 33 wins since 2007 suggests they have. Still, not much of a celebration the other night after throttling Plainfield to win the title.
"Well," junior Harry Calmar said, "it got a little chippy. I don't think you need to rub anything in. We wanted to leave respectfully. There's no need to start anything after the game."
Imagine. Resisting the urge to celebrate here in the roaring 2000s.
Bless you, Harry Calmar. Someone who gets it. No doubt he's been taught well.
As have the field hockey players.
It's good to be a Bear these days.

Totally delightful--great fresh flavor in a pretty purple drink!! My DH and I split one serving and each got about 7 ounces. I froze the banana chunks, omitted the ice cubes, used 4 teaspoons of sugar, and added a 1" x 1" piece of lemon peel (with no pith). Next time I may replace the sugar with honey--to see how that works out. The hot summer weather just arrived a few days ago, so this recipe is going to come in handy! Thanks Happy Harry #2!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. My husband and I enjoyed it for breakfast and I also tried it with a combination of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries which was also good. I tried it with a pear and that was tasty, too. Glad you told me about this recipe TexasToast R.
Wow! It was my first time to use buttermilk in something other than baking, and now I'll certainly be doing it again. It was thick and creamy and sweet with a nice tangy undertone. My husband was impressed and even my two year old enjoyed it. I used regular sugar since I don't have Splenda. I also increased the ice cubes to 5 since I like my drinks extra cold.
A delicious and unexpected combination of flavors! I used skim milk. Thanks!
I made this for breakfast the other day. This was a good, quick breakfast. My 1st time using buttermilk in a batido!
This was a great refreshing drink! I was out of buttermilk so used skim milk which also worked just fine. Very tasty.
This tasted great! I don't like the taste of plain buttermilk, and usually let it go to waste when I only need a little for a recipe. Now I know what to do with it!. I made it as directed first. Next time I added some ground flaxseed and vanilla whey protein powder. It was awesome either way. Thanks.
This was very good, we liked this, it was nice and creamy. My kids didnt care much for the aftertaste of the splenda so the 2nd batch I added sugar and they loved it. Thanks for posting!!!
These were fantastic! Full of vitamins and tasted great! I didn't have any Buttermilk so I used plain yogurt which made them even healthier. I will make these often! Thanks for sharing. :)

During this orientation webinar you'll discover: A simple daily habit that will keep you motivated and help you stick to the plan … How to automatically eat the right foods and avoid the wrong foods … Why one man's medicine is another man's poison … […]
We KNOW that eating that cupcake, drinking that soda, or eating that food we are allergic to isn't good for us, but we do it anyway. It's as though someone, or something, has commandeered our brain and we are helpless. Then we blame ourselves, ridden with guilt, feeling that we just didn't have enough willpower […]

Welcome to the LA Angels Insider Injury Tracker! Here we will have updates on injured Angels players. This will be running post that will last throughout the 2016 regular season. Here are the latest reports:
April 28, 2016
The Angels placed Huston Street on the DL with a strained left oblique today, as expected. Corresponding move coming tomorrow.
— Jeff Fletcher (@JeffFletcherOCR) April 28, 2016
- That was yesterday's announcement. And we're still waiting for the move. Street has battled nagging injuries throughout his career, and this isn't the first time he's had clique issues. Just to give fans an idea of the possible timetable: Mike Morin (2015) and Matt Shoemaker (2014) both had the same injury. Morin missed five weeks, and Shoe missed three. Joe Smith will be the team's closer while Street is on the mend.

North Korea's blast was similar to previous nuclear tests, the Vienna-based monitoring agency CTBTO said early Tuesday, condemning it as a potential threat to international security if confirmed as a nuclear test.
North Korea has since confirmed that it had carried out what it called a successful underground nuclear test.
"The event shows explosion-like characteristics and its location is roughly congruent with the 2006 and 2009 DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) nuclear tests," agency chief Tibor Toth said in a statement.
He did not however elaborate on the size of the blast, which South Korea's defence ministry said had an explosive yield of between six and seven kilotons.
"For now, further data and analysis are necessary to establish what kind of event this is," Toth said.
"If confirmed as a nuclear test, this act would constitute a clear threat to international peace and security, and challenges efforts made to strengthen global nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, in particular by ending nuclear testing."
The agency earlier announced that its monitoring stations had picked up "evidence of an unusual seismic event in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea," following reports from China and Japan about a suspected nuclear test.
The CTBTO had already detected what it called seismic events when North Korea carried out its two nuclear tests on October 9, 2006 and May 25, 2009.
The Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty Organisation is a key authority for providing data on detected nuclear events.
It has a network of about 340 monitoring stations around the world on the look-out for any signs -- both seismic and atmospheric -- of nuclear explosions.
However, it does not identify whether seismic events it picks up are a nuclear explosion, earthquake or chemical blast.
North Korea vowed last month to conduct a "high-level" nuclear test, its third, in retaliation for tightened UN sanctions following its December rocket launch.
It is not a signatory of CTBTO, which was adopted in 1996 by the United Nations General Assembly and ratified by 159 states.

As Oklahoma Capitol crumbles, lawmakers continue to dismiss bond issue as solution
As the state Capitol continues to deteriorate, lawmakers continue to say that using a bond issue to pay for repairs and renovation isn't a legitimate option. "We're in an environment of 'don't pass bond proposals,'" says state Rep. Earl Sears, R-Bartlesville.
We wonder: Where outside of the Capitol does that environment exist? Are lawmakers being bombarded by constituents pleading with them not to pass bond issues? If so, lawmakers are truly just representing the people who sent them to Oklahoma City. But we can't help but believe that most Oklahomans understand that governments occasionally use bond issues to pay for infrastructure needs.
What's happened is that conservatives at the Statehouse are placing spending through a bond issue in the same league as the profligate deficit spending that's going on in Washington, D.C. They're not close to being the same thing.
Those pooh-poohing the bond issue idea — the House voted 77-15 against such a proposal this spring — have suggested a pay-as-you-go approach to fixing the Capitol, or perhaps raiding the state's Rainy Day Fund. The former is a bad idea because the amount allocated each year could change on a whim. And even tapping 25 percent of the Rainy Day Fund, the maximum lawmakers could get by statute, wouldn't cover the estimated $153 million needed for repairs.
One lawmaker said he'd like to see repair work paid for "over a period of time rather than a bond issue." But a bond issue allows for a low annual payment over many years, with the state getting all the money it needs up front.
Sears suggests letting voters decide the bond issue question. That's rich — wash your hands of the issue instead of doing the job you were elected to do. Not to mention that the soonest a question could be put on the ballot is probably November 2014.
And so the crumbling continues.

Acoustic guitarist Maneli Jamal has lived in five different countries (Iran, Belarus, Germany, USA, Canada) and moved twenty times by the time he was 18.
The young artist gained a sense of musical maturity rarely seen among his peers especially when he transforms his nomadic life experiences into musical movements using extended guitar techniques. There aren't many players in his style that have Jamal's balance of power and sensitivity, nor his breadth of ideas.
His rhythmic concepts can be alternately short and dense, or explored carefully through several movements and real life stories. This becomes evident with having won countless music competitions around the world including most recently placing 1st at Canada's Soundclash Music Awards.
Having been brought up in a purely artistic and musical family has contributed to shape his unique and comical story telling approach in live settings. He has already performed in 12 countries as a solo performer, has a signature model acoustic guitar named after him and was on the front cover of 2015 Toronto magazine (500,000 copies distributed worldwide). The world is his home and he plays from one end to the other.
Italian Guitarist & Composer Paolo Giordano
Born in Pescara, Italy in 1962, Paolo began playing the guitar when he was 14 years old. At the end of the 1970's he began organizing and playing with local bands whose music, flavored by his love for blues and southern rock, were to play an important role in the local epoch-making music scene. The discovery of masters such as John Fahey, Leo Kottke, and Ry Cooder along with many others, encouraged Paolo to develop a keen interest in acoustic guitar and eventually his unique finger picking style. At the end of the 80's after many years of intense work, he began participating in many important festivals presenting his own music and sharing the stage with guitarists such as Pierre Bensusan, Peter Finger, Alex De Grassi and Michael Hedges.
Paolo's music, also product of his intense studies of classical music, goes beyond the source of inspiration which marks his melodic line and evocative imagery. His extraordinary technique - have won him international critical acclaim - is never only an end in itself, but the medium conveying the powerful feelings and emotions he wants to express.

LyX and Lulu
At this point, you're ready to start entering text. Although it's best to get a good understanding of how LyX works first, so you can lay out the final text properly.
Go to Help→Tutorial, and LyX loads the tutorial into the working screen. Read through the LyX Tutorial, and follow the instructions for creating your first document. The tutorial is easy to understand, and completing the exercises will get you familiar with the program.
I know most of us will prefer the Quick Start Tutorial—so here it is. Go to File→New and create a new file. Type some sample text on the first line, as shown in Figure 8.
Remember, LyX handles what you want the text to look like on paper based on the assigned document class. So, to create a title page, all you need to do is select Title from the drop-down list. LyX marks these words as the book title, and you're done. Now if you press Ctrl-D, LyX exports the text into a .dvi file and displays your results on-screen. Notice that LyX has centered the text, added the date below the title and turned it into its own separate page—pretty cool.
Like a word processor, LyX has a few features to help you produce your final work. Academic math people use LyX because it can produce complex formulas fairly easily in printed documents. Doctoral students also use it to conform to standards for their final dissertations.
I find using the mouse awkward when writing. Consequently, I prefer to use command keys and other shortcuts to format text in LyX. LyX comes with a lot of documentation; however, finding answers to your questions can take some looking. A LyX help file titled customization.lyx describes various command keys and bindings to help speed up typing. Print out the file and look through the existing key bindings; they will improve your speed with document processing and keep your focus on what you're writing.
Also, keep in mind that entering a carriage return does not translate into an extra line in LyX. I'll admit, letting the program handle the formatting is unnerving at first, but the results will please you.
LyX automatically creates links to specific parts of the text file. Figure 9 shows how LyX builds a navigation tree based on the text in the document. This is similar to the Outline feature in other word processors and is handy for editing large files.
Like a word processor, LyX handles tables and graphics with ease. To add a table, go to Insert→Tabular Material, and define the table size. Use the Insert drop-down list to place graphics in the document. As an alternative, you can click on the associated icons below the toolbar for graphics, tables and to alter text justification.
Finally, LyX has superior ability to handle cross references, citations and footnotes. While typing, use the Insert drop-down list to add footnotes, citations or cross-reference markers. Each has its own window for the text entered. To keep from viewing them, click the inserted icon, and they disappear off-screen. LyX automatically adjusts the output to keep the footnotes on the proper page.
LyX is powerful, and the documentation is lengthy—too large to cover in this short article. No doubt, using LyX is uncomfortable at first, but the benefits of letting the program sort out the document formatting are profound.

Geek Guides
In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

It may just be a temporary problem with the iTunes store. To check this a) open up Safari on both of your devices, and b) go to appleid.apple.com. If you can get to that website, then your devices can access secure web sites (the iTunes store is a secure web site) and the problem is with the iTunes store.

I am getting the same message, however I somehow have 2 apple id's (I have my original itunes id and then my new one I guess I created when I got my iphone) I made purchses using both id's on my ipad not realizing it- I have reset my ipad completely, erased everything off manually etc. I reconnected to my itunes to manually put a few things back on inclduing my music library. I have app updates (8 of them from my original itunes id) that cannot update because it says canno connect to itunes store- however I can still get into the app store and purchase apps and music. A few new updates came in yesterday with the second apple ID and it said the saemthing after I entered my password. This apple ID (the second one) is the one I use on my phone- it works fine on my phone and I can buy songs and apps and update no problem. I also think I purchsed music with both apple Id's on the ipad. So we are in the same boat- I don't know what to do.. I am so totally frustrated too!
and to top that off, tried to listen to music via my itunes on my pc today- and ALL of my music library is GONE. I logged out of one apple ID and checkd the other- gone too! but th music is all still on my phone and ipad- which is confusin th heck outta me-
Any advice?
The Dark Knight Aug 22, 2012 10:40 PM

I have the same problem: The red number indicator in my App Store Icon is showing, but whenever I try to access the "Updates" panel in the App Store, I always get the error message: "Cannot Connect to ITunes Store." This, despite the fact that my connection seems to be working fine, both via Wi-Fi or 3G, since I can still browse for Apps in the App Store, check my emails, browse in Safari and access the ITunes App in either. I already tried signing in and out of my Apple ID and turning on and off my phone, but the problem still persists. I am using an Iphone 4s with IOS 5.1.1., by the way.
My advice would be to send an email to the ITunes Support Team and just wait for any response. That, or perhaps the more drastic measure i.e., Reset all settings. Personally, I have just tried the first. If I don't get any response within the next 48 hours (as the ITunes Support Team automated mail said it would), I just might try the second more drastic measure.
BeersYourFriend Aug 22, 2012 10:54 PM

I'm hoping that most people are having this issue, and they will correct the issue. They have moderators who relay a common problem to the Apple Team. I Hope... I really think this is some issue On Apples end, most likely updating thing for iOS 6. And, hopefully the Update section of the Apple Store will be fixed before September 12~, or around the time of the iPhone 5 is revealed... Or, then a lot of us are going to reset our device, which I doubt will fix the issue even then. This is an Apple Issue, and would not recommend resetting everything. So, I'm going to wait it out a few more days, and update my device using ITUNES ON MY COMPUTER... Only way to update your apps... If you see a new app update, then connect it to your computer, for now..............
Apple, just fix this stupid issue, please!
Or, an answer...
The Dark Knight Aug 22, 2012 11:06 PM

Yeah, pretty hesitant to do a Reset myself. Maybe just waiting for Apple's reply and just updating via our computers are the more prudent courses of action to take for now.

This fix worked for me! The following did the trick for me: (1) advanced the phone date a year, (2) went back to the Updates panel, (3) got an error message, (4) restored the correct year, and (5) went back to the Updates panel. The Updates panel is now working.

Organ donors on the rise in MinnesotaPublished 12:31pm Friday, October 25, 2013
ST. PAUL — State officials say more and more Minnesotans with driver's licenses and state identification cards are signing up as organ donors.
The state Department of Public Safety said the number of registered donors in Minnesota has increased 13 percent in three years to 2.6 million.
The agency said nearly 63 percent of Minnesotans are registered as organ, eye and tissue donors. That compares with 45 percent nationally.
The department said the surge in donor registration is largely due to support from LifeSource, Minnesota Lions Eye Bank and American Donor Services, nonprofits that oversee lifesaving donations.
Despite the number of Minnesotans registered as organ donors, more than 3,100 people in the state are waiting for a lifesaving transplant.

It would be nice to get a bit of a better notice that our lightning powers are about to run out, rather than realizing they ran out immediately before charging into an ogre.

It's a little annoying how if an enemy performs a suicide attack to finish a wave, the next enemy wave gets priority. Still, crazy fun, and love what you're doing with the game.

I realized the AI wasn't terribly effective in many situations and briefly considered complaining about it... but then I realized I'd be complaining about how stupid the zombies were.

The dakka is strong in this one...
Still not enuff, nevar enuff, but getting there. Just needs a bit moar dakka.

Tip: do not underestimate the sheer unbridled dakka of a proper monkey Navy.
It seems a bit silly that non-targetting towers such as the tack tower or the monkey ace can't hit camo bloons that their bullets happen to hit.

You should probably have the time wait for you to start before it starts ticking. it's not like the levels going anywhere if you don't have any balls out, and it'd be nice to look at what you're up against first.
You´re right - we´ve implemented that in the new version. Thanks for your feedback! :)

For a platformer, it sure is a bit one-dimensional. Maybe you should add some mid-air platforms at some times to add a whole vertical element?
I think that's a valid idea actually - but at the moment the way the game is designed, it just wouldn't fit with the current arsenal of weapons. However if a sequel was to crop up, that would be something I'd be interested in doing!

Awww, I wanted to go unlock that "ZE" place with "ZED" at the end, but D was the last one I got... (speaking of, why didn't "ZEN" work?)

Disappointed by the bosses, that was one of my only complaints about the last game. The spider wasn't bad but the werewolf is just terrible. If you don't have the right weapons all you can do is sit down in the underneath area and melee it as it goes past, killing it over the course of about five minutes. And then you have to do it again.

I really wish you could've done individual ammo reloading for the shotgun (so it doesn't take as long to load one ammo as it does to load all five), especially considering how long the reload time takes...

Protip: Beating the level without deaths can be a bit easier if you do it /before/ getting all the energy on the level, since that speeds up gameplay.

I don't see why the ending is so unsatisfying to everyone. (Spoilers) She rescues Von Toten, they escape, and nobody gets their hands on Von Toten's inventions. Seems pretty finale-ish to me. Sure it was a bit anticlimactic, but I rather liked it.

In one case I had to swap a money bag for a closing gate in order to go from silver to gold. It was just one-for-one, so I find it a tad odd since neither really used more resources. It becomes more of a "do it the way the author planned" than a "do it as efficiently as possible."

At first I was like "Bluh, hasn't this series gone on long enough?"
Then I remembered, this is friggen' wiesi, the man who made Ultimate Crab Battle. If he says a series should keep going IT'S GONNA KEEP GOING.

The fact that you can only click the differences on the right side in the "find what was stolen" part is unclear, unintuitive, and rather annoying. Might wanna change that before going gold.
Interesting, ok, thanks! Now fixed.

Nice photo Dianne. I never seen these before as we don't have them in the west where I live. Beautiful looking birds. I would also say that they pair for life as most larger birds do!. Thanks for this photo. Voted.
