The invention relates to an arrangement for introducing a new, more advanced speech encoding method into a digital, speech transmitting telecommunications system.
A known method of selecting, for example, the speech encoding algorithm to be used is to agree on the speech encoding and signaling based on the basis of a standard or other such agreement. A new speech code (coder-decoder) can be arranged in an existing system afterwards, if the action has been anticipated in some way. In the field of telecommunications systems, however, no methods are known by which a new speech encoding method could be added to a existing system without making any changes in the standard or other agreement.
Based on the above introduction, the object of the invention is to provide a signaling method by which, for example, a new speech code can be introduced into an existing telecommunications system. The invention seeks to solve the problem that arises when the introduction of a new speech codec has not been ag reed upon and when a signaling system by which the communicating transceivers could select the method to be used does not exist. This is the situation, for example, with a GSM full rate channel.
The method of the invention thus has to solve two separate problems: (1) The new codec must operate on an existing channel. The transfer rate of a speech encoding method on a GSM full rate channel is 13 kbit/s. A solution to the problem is presented in Finnish Patent Application No. 943,302, entitled `Method and equipment for transmitting speech in a telecommunications system` (Jarvinen et al.). It is thus possible to apply a lower rate speech encoding method to this same channel. (2) When there are two possible speech codecs, how do two pieces of communication equipment select a method they both will use? Normally, the problem is solved by agreeing on signaling. However in unexpected situations, this is not possible. The problem is discussed in Finnish Patent Application No. 955,266. this application also discusses a signaling method that can be used in connection with the present invention.
An object of the invention is to develop a method and equipment implementing the method to solve the above problems.
The basic idea of the invention is that the speech codec to be used is selected by communication between transceivers on a speech channel. The method makes it possible, for example, to introduce into a GSM system, a better quality speech codec specific to the manufacturer, whereby the speech codec concerned i s only used when equipment of a specified manufacturer are communicating with each other. When the equipment communicate with equipment of other manufacturers, a standard GSM speech codec is used.
The procedure according to the invention is described as follows. Let us assume that both an `old` (known to all) and a `new` (known to new equipments) speech encoding method have been implemented in the communicating equipment. At the beginning of each speech connection, the old speech encoding method is used, since it is impossible to know for certain whether the new method has been implemented in the equipment used at the other end. A handover corresponds to the start of a connection because the network transceiver may change. The message transmission method according to the above-mentioned patent application (Haavisto) discusses how to initiate a dialogue between the transceivers to find out whether a new speech encoding method is used in both equipment. If so, then the equipment proceeds to use it.
The advantage of the method and system according to the invention is that although a new speech encoding method is introduced, the equipment previously used in the system can continue to use the old speech encoding method. The advantage is achieved so that an `old` type receiver, which cannot interpret the bit patterns intended as messages, processes them as if they were normal speech frames. Since the speech frames that correspond to messages have zero amplitude, the messages only cause a 20 millisecond pause in speech, which cannot be heard by ear without careful, repeated reference tests.
In the following, the invention will be described in greater detail in connection with preferred embodiments and with reference to the attached drawing, in which
FIG. 1 shows parts of a telecommunications system of the invention, and
FIG. 2 shows, by way of an example, hand-shaking between two transceivers.
A new speech codec can be added to an existing telecommunications system, whereby a second, more advanced speech encoding method can be used in addition to the speech encoding method can be used in addition to the speech encoding method that is normally used in the system. The more advanced method can be used on a channel of an existing system by applying the method disclosed in Finnish Patent Application No. 943,302 (Jarvinen et al.). If the more advanced speech codec operates at the same transmission rate as the codec used earlier in the system, then the method of patent application 943,302 (Jarvinen et al.) need not be applied.
The problem is thus to select the speech codec such that even transceivers in which the second, more advanced speech encoding method has not be implemented, still operate in the system.
FIG. 1 shows the essential parts of a transceiver 100 according to the invention. The arrangement according to the invention operates between two such transceivers.
A speech signal 102 to be transferred is conducted through a switch 104 to either of the two possible speech encoders. Speech encoder 1 (106) is a speech encoder using an `old` speech encoding algorithm, whereas speech encoder 2 (108) uses a `new` speech encoding algorithm. At the beginning of each speech connection, switch control logic 120 always supplies the incoming signal 102 to speech encoder 1 (106). From speech encoder 1, the speech encoding bits are transferred to a message encoder 110 presented in the above-mentioned, similarly assigned patent application (Haavisto). The encoder seeks to establish a signaling connection in accordance with the protocol agreed upon in the method with another, corresponding transceiver 100' (not shown). The protocol may vary greatly. In the simplest form, the message encoder 110 sends a code word agreed upon among speech encoding bits to notify the other communicating equipment. According to a more complicated, but more reliable protocol, several messages are sent between the transceivers 100, 100 and the message encoder 110 and a message decoder 130 of a transceiver must be in communication with each other. A notification transmitted in the simple protocol indicates that the equipments 100, 100' are able to use the new, more advanced speech encoding method. If transceiver 100 receives a similar notification from the other communicating party 100', the connection proceeds to use the new speech encoding method.
The speech encoding bits and possible message bits are supplied to a channel 112 through a switch 114. The position of switch 114 is controlled to be in line with the position of switch 104.
If the signaling protocol has been completed successfully and both communicating equipment are able to use the new speech encoding method, then the position of switch 104 is changed so that it conducts an incoming speech signal 102 to speech encoder 2 (108), from where the speech encoding bits are transferred directly through switch 114 to channel 112. Speech encoder 1 (106) is thus always used at the beginning of a connection when the transceivers have not yet agreed on switching to the new speech encoding method. After successful signaling, the transceivers use the new speech encoding method.
A receiver (122-132) of a transceiver receives incoming speech encoding bits through a channel 132 and a switch 134. If the use of a new speech encoding method has not yet been agreed on by signaling, then switch 134 conducts the signal to the message decoder 130. The decoder checks whether the received bits contain messages according to the protocol for switching to the use of a new speech encoding algorithm. From the message decoder 130, the speech encoding bits are supplied to speech decoder 1 (126), which inversely corresponds to speech encoder 1 (106). Speech 122 synthesized by the speech decoder is supplied through a switch 124, after which it is audible. If the new speech encoding algorithm is in use, then the bits obtained from channel 132 are supplied through switch 134 to speech decoder 1 (128), and the speech 122 synthesized by the decoder is supplied through switch 124, after which it is audible.
Switches 104, 114 . . . are controlled by switch control logic 150. The switches are set to use speech encoding algorithm 2 (new method) always when it has been confirmed by message encoding that the new method has been implemented in both communicating equipment. At the beginning of each new connection and after each handover, the switch control 150 receives a notification 152 that the equipment must switch to the use of the old speech encoding algorithm until it has been verified by signaling that the new speech encoding can be used.
With reference to FIG. 1, we shall now describe an example for detailed handshaking between transceivers 100 and 100' according to FIG. 1. The first transceiver is, for example, a mobile station MS and network NSS (Network Subsystem). In FIG. 2, the following references are used. An `old` codec means a general codec that is known for certain to be present in both the communicating equipments. A `new` Codec, in turn, is a more advanced codec, the existence of which at the other end of the connection needs to b checked. A `NIF-sequence`) (New codec Identification Frame) is a sequence of speech frames notifying that its sender supports the new codec. A `CIF-sequence` (Cancel handshake Identification Frame) is a sequence of speech frames notifying that its sender cancels the handshaking process, whereby the communicating equipment return to use the `old` codec. Time instance T0 is the starting moment of the handshaking process, i.e., the moment when the mobile station MS sends the first frame of the NIF-sequence. Time instance T1 is the period at the beginning of a call and after the handover during which the network NSS waits for the first NIF-sequence. `OSF` and `NSF` are speech frames of the `old` and `new` codec, respectively, (Old Speech Frame; New Speech Frame).
The speech frames containing NIF and CIF-sequences are conventional speech frames of the `old` codec, in which certain predefined bits have been set to conform to predefined bit patterns. Preferred bit patterns will be discussed later. The NIF and CIF-sequences should be designed so that the influence of the sequences on speech quality is minimal. The sequences, however, should be as reliably detectable as possible. In the tests conducted, the best compromise turned out to be a technique in which the NIF and CIF-sequences are distributed over five speech frames so that the bit patterns of the sequences are placed in the first, third, and fifth speech frame. The second and fourth speech frames are not changed in any way. The combined length of five speech frames is 100 ms. It is then highly unlikely that a whole sequence will be destroyed in conditions where a radio connection can be maintained.
Period T1 should be selected such that a speech frame encoded at time instance T0 is certainly received in network NSS within period T1.
The handshaking process starts at time instance T0 when the mobile station MS sends the sequence N1F1 OSF NIF2 OSF NIF3, where three bit patterns of the five speech frames have been distorted to implement handshaking.
If the handshaking has to be interrupted, this is effected by the sequence CIF1 OSF CIF2 OSF CIF3.
The following is a possible group of bit patterns for NIFn and Cin-sequences. Such bit patterns are discussed widely in the above-mentioned Finnish patent application. In brief, when the invention is applied in a GSM system, Block amplitude bits of these speech frames are set as zero, and 95 RPE bits protected by channel encoding are selected such that a mutual Hamming distance of different bit patterns is maximal.
The mutual Hamming distance of the bit patters can be maximized, for example, by the following selection. The 95 RPE bits of frame NIF1 are selected at random. These bits, however, should not form a completely regular 10101 pattern. In the event of such a pattern, a shafit of one bit in respect of time would produce some other code word belonging to the same group. Frame NIF2 is formed from NIF1 by inverting (logical NO) all bits except every third bit. Bits 1 and 2 are thus inverted, but bit 3 is not, etc. NIF3, in turn, is formed from NIF1 by inverting, for example, bits 1, 4, 7, etc. The procedure three code words the Hamming distance of which is 63 bits.
CIF-sequences can be formed so that CIF1 is formed by inverting all the bits of NIF1. CIF2 and CIF3 are formed from CIF1 in the same way as NIF2 and NIF3 were formed from NIF1. The resultant NIF1-NIF3 and CIF-CIF3 form a group of six code words, within which the code words differ from one another as much as possible, i.e., their Hamming distance is maximal. When the invention is applied to a system in which a different number of code words, e.g., 2N code words, are needed, the above procedure is used such that instead of the third bit, every Nth bit is used.
In the following, an entire handshaking process involving a change of a speech codec is described with reference to FIG. 2. Handshaking takes place for example, in the following stages. At time instance T0, the mobile station MS sends a NIF-sequence of the first five frames: NIF-- MS1. The network NSS identifies the sequence and responds by sending a similar NIF-sequence: NIF-- NS1. The mobile station MS identifies the response. It has now been detected that both communicating equipment can use the `new` codec. The next step is to synchronize the change of codec. The next step is to synchronize the change of codecs in both directions, so that the receiving party will use a decoding algorithm intended for each speech frame.
Exactly NW (Number of Wait) frames after the first NIF-- MS1 frame, the mobile station MS sends a second NIF-sequence NIF-- MS2 and proceeds to use the new codec. If problems do not arise, the second NIF-sequence NIF-- MS2 is unnecessary, since the number of frames between NIF-- MS1 and the first speech frame encoded by the new codec is known. Likewise, the network NSS waits for NW frames after sending a NIF-- NS1 sequence, after which it sends a second NIF-sequence (NIF-- NS1) and proceeds to use the new codec.
The handshaking must be repeated at the beginning of each phone call and in connection with each handover. A handshaking process at the beginning of a new phone call is very simple, since both parties start a connection using the `old` codec. A handover is slightly more completed. When a new codec is used, both parties must switch to the old codec. The switch must be synchronized so that the last speech frame sent to the codec used before the handover is encoded by the `new` codec, and the first one sent to the codec used after the handover is encoded by the `old` codec. The `old` and `new` codec here refer to a generic and a more advanced codec, respectively, and not to the difference prevailing between the situations before and after the handover.
Above is described a situation where both parties of a connection are `new` in type, as regards the invention, i.e., they contain an `old` and a `new` codec. If a mobile station is `old` in type, no handshaking takes place, no matter which type the network NSS is. Instead, if the mobile station MS is `new` in type but the network NSS is `old`, then the mobile station MS sends the network NSS a NIF-sequence. Since the network does not respond within NW frames (NW being, e.g., 15), the mobile station MS send a CIF-sequence canceling the handshaking.
The handshaking algorithm of the mobile station MS can be described by the following steps:
1. sending a NIF-sequence (NIF-- MS1) at a time instance T0;
2. monitoring for the duration of NW frames whether the network responds by a NIF-sequence (NIF-- NS1);
3. in response to the network not responding with a NIF-sequence, sending a CIF-sequence exactly NW frames after the last frame of the NIF-sequence of the mobile station; and in response to the network responding with a NIF-sequence, sending a second NIF-sequence exactly NW frames after the last frame of the NIF-sequence of the mobile station;
4. interpreting the frame received from the network exactly NW frames after NIF-- NS1 as being either a CIF or NIF-- NS2-sequence;
5. in response to the frame having been interpreted as a CIF-sequence, sending a CIF-sequence exactly NW frames after the last frame of the second NIF-sequence of the mobile station and continuing to use the `old` codec; and in response to the frame having been interpreted as a NIF-- NS2-sequence, proceeding to use the new codec.
From the side of the network, handshaking can be described by the following steps:
1. waiting a time period T1 or until a NIF-sequence (NIF-- MS1) sent by a mobile station is detected;
2. in response to a NIF-sequence not being detected during the time period T1, terminating the handshaking; and in response to a NIF-sequence being detected, sending a first NIF-sequence (NIF-- NS1 as a CIF or a NIF-- MS2-sequence;
3. interpreting the frame received from the mobile station exactly NW frames after NIF-- NS1 as a CIF or a NIF-- MS2-sequence;
4. in response to the frame being interpreted as a CIF-sequence, sending a CIF-sequence exactly NW frames after the last frame of the first NIF-sequence of the network and continuing to use the `old` codec; and in response to the frame being interpreted as a NIF-- MS2-sequence, sending a second NIF-sequence (NIF-- NS2) exactly NW frames after the last frame of the first NIF-sequence of the network and proceeding to use the new codec;
5. interpreting the frame received from the mobile station exactly NW frames after NIF-- MS2 as either a CIF-sequence or a normal speech frame;
6. in response to the frame having been interpreted as a CIF-sequence, immediately returning to use the old codec.
The following is a description of the effect of handshaking on a normal conversation. If a mobile station is `new`, but the network is `old`, then the mobile station first sends a NIF-sequence and then, NW frames later, a CIF-sequence. The network then receives three bad speech frames twice, with intervals of 0.3 seconds. Since the Block amplitude parameters are zero, the effect of these frames cannot be heard by ear without careful, repeated reference tests. A simulated test in which a mobile station repeats a handshaking process relating to handover at an interval of two seconds impairs the quality of speech somewhat but not decisively.
When both the parties are `new`, two NIF-sequences are sent in both directions. The effect on the quality of speech is the same as above. The effect, however, can be reduced by employing a bad-frame replacement technique, with regard to which reference is made to the above-mentioned Finnish patent application to FIG. 6 and the description thereof.
In the following, we shall discuss optimal tolerance for identification of NIF and CIF-sequences. Since the sequences are identified using bits protected by channel encoding, they are very likely to be received faultlessly. One cannot rely on this, however, but an allowed number of defective bits should be defined. If the tolerance is too low, a sequence may not be identified. If it is too high, on the other and, a normal speech frame may be erroneously identified as a handshaking sequence. A suitable compromise is, for example, 5 defective bits. With this tolerance, there is a 99.8% probability that any one of the three frames NIF1-NIF3 (or, correspondingly, CIF1-CIF3) will be identified even under conditions that are so bad that the amount of defective bits is 1% even after channel encoding. Theoretically, the probability of losing all the three sequences would be 10-30.
When the first NIF-sequences have been received, the following sequences can be identified much more easily. It is sufficient that the NIF and CIF-sequences can be differentiated from one another. Since the bits differ from one another with respect to at least 60 bits, the differentiation may take place, if the amount of defective bits after channel encoding is less than 50%.
It should be understood that the embodiments of the invention, including the figures and their description, are intended to illustrate rather than restrict the invention. For example, the switches described in connection with FIG. 1 are only one possible implementation. Alternatively, signals can be supplied to both encoders and corresponding decoders provided with an activation input. The control logic of a switch would here function such that when a selection is made between an `old` and a `new` codec, the relevant codec is activated and the other codec is deactivated.
To present a concrete embodiment, the invention has been described, by way of an example, in connection with the selection of a GSM speech codec. The invention is naturally not limited to this, but can also be applied in other corresponding telecommunications systems, and even in the GSM system it can also be applied to other functions than the selection of a speech codec. For example, as telefax functions become more common in mobile stations, two transceivers can agree on the telefax protocol to be used by a handshaking process of the present invention.
It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that with the advancement of technology, the basic idea of the invention can be implemented in various ways. The invention and its embodiments are thus not limited to the examples described above but they can vary within the scope of the claims.

Actually I observe some FPS issues while playing CoD: Black Ops, so thought to post over here, since you guys must know something about resolving it (checked other threads, good solutions but mine problem is bit different). The game installed properly, everything seemed going in proper way till the game started lagging a lot in initial stages. I don't know what exactly might be the reason, so thought to take some advice from you members. Also want to know that anybody over there have started playing this game?! Please help me by providing some useful solutions.

Then, disaster struck the Targarian family. War was brought to them in the alleys and shadows. Someone was working behind their backs to bring them down. Bastille was stowed away, hidden and not allowed to be alone for fear she would be targeted next. She didn't like the idea of that very much so she fled to her childhood playgrounds in the dungeons. Perhaps it was fate, or maybe just luck but on the night she snuck away her entire family line was struck down by assassins. In one fell slice the entire Targarian line was severed such that another could claim the throne for themselves. Bastille was unaware of this until the next morning.
She awaoke in the dungeons to the sounds of alarm bells and shouting. It did not take her long to hear from the common folk the grave news. She knew not what to do. She could not find protection anywhere and she certainly did not wish to wait for an assassin to realize they had missed a Targarian. She decided to flee, and flee she did. She travels for days and weeks and months living on her own wits and quick reflexes. Then one day she happened upon an abandoned monestary with good line of sight to the surrounding lands. She decided she would make her home here but was suprised to find it occupied.
It was here that she met her new family. The monestary had a complex set of underground passages and caves, and a large crop of bats had taken up residence there ages ago. They did not mind her presence, and she was fascinated by them. They were a type of bat much different from the ones she would catch in her old home. She took to studying them to pass the time and eventually won the trust of one bat when she nursed it back to health after it crash landed. To her surprise, upon waking the bat looked directly at her with intelligent eyes and it spoke. Not in any language she had learned, but she understood it nonetheless. It spoke to her of her destiny, something she was not eager to hear. She listened anyways thinking herself insane at this point. It said it's name was Bassandra.
Not only did it speak but it taught her. It showed her how to motivate the energy of her body to create power, to use magic. She was amazed that she could do such a thing as magic had been dead for years in her lands. Bassandra explained that it was because of her blood. In it laid great power but the beliefs of this world kept it restrained. It explained that there were other worlds, places where magic ran free where life was extraordinary and where talking bats were an every day thing. She longed to see these places and dreamed of them often over the next few years as she trained herself and her new friends such that she would be protected and prepared should any assassins find her.
They never found her but fate did, as it always seems to. One day while playing in the caves she witnessed two bats fighting. She as their self proclaimed matron mother took it upon herself to calm them down and talk it over. One claimed that he had been through a hole in space and seen wonderful things. The other of course called shenanigans. Bastille and Bassandra decided that the best way to solve this way to go to the place where the hole had been and see for themselves. To their surprise as they neared this random spot of the labyrinth a swirling blue portal opened. Bastille seeing this as a wonderful opportunity to explore snatched the bat who had told her of this place and jumped right through the portal. She found herself in an alley in a city unlike any she could have possibly imagined. The bat she had snatched escaped from her hands and flew into the sky and the portal snapped shut behind her.
She soon found out that she was in a place called Sigil, wherever that was. All she had was Bassandra and her four most favorite bats whom she had trained to keep vigil for assassins using their extraordinary senses. Other than that she was lost, and being lost in Sigil is a good way to get your name in the hall of dead. She would have ended up there too if not for the interference of a new friend.
She was hiding in an alley having just stolen some food to eat when three thugs strolled up behind her. Her rear bat gave her the customary pinch to warn of aggressors and she wheeled about to face them. She was to late however as they swung a club at her knocking her to the ground. As they stood over her about the kill her for the clothes on her back she saw the shape of a bat in the sky. But not any bat, a giant bat, a bat the size of her. It landed on the main aggressors back and sunk it's teeth deep into his jugular. He was dead in seconds. Bastille found her wits and brought forth a gout of flame torching the other two thugs sending them running. She spoke to the bat in the language of her home unsure if it would translate. The bat seemed surprised that this piece of food would talk to it but it was amused and listened. She told it of her past, and of her companions and her apparent fate. She was sure that he must be a part of it as well. She learned his name, Koda, and she convinced him to be her guardian and to help her acclimate to life near the Spire.
They have been living as one since, Bastille now known to the locals as Batty, Bassandra, and Koda. People know of them and know to be kind lest they loose something important like an arm or their life. She has been hardened by her life so far, but still holds a soft spot in her heart for all things bat-like. Today she thought she'd go have a drink with her friends and set off for the Nags Head for a pint and perhaps some pleasant company.

Too Much Stauffenberg: The 'Myth' of the Would-Be Hitler Assassin
Claus Graf von Stauffenberg, who tried to kill Adolf Hitler with a briefcase bomb on July 20, 1944, is everywhere these days. But does he really deserve all the attention?
German soldiers on Wednesday celebrated what would have been Stauffenberg's 100th birthday.
But not everybody is happy with the overblown idolization of Stauffenberg seen in recent months. In a Thursday radio interview, Peter Steinbach -- head of the German Resistance Memorial Center -- warned against "myth formation."
Steinbach noted that any understanding of Stauffenberg, a complex figure not easily reducible to the unquestionable Hollywood appeal of the attempt on Hitler's life, must include the fact that he followed the Nazi cause without qualification for most of his career. Indeed, he rose high in the ranks of the Nazi military, becoming a staff officer during the western offensive against France. Only gradually did he begin turning against the government in 1942 and 1943.
Steinbach's German Resistance Memorial Center honors the men and women who struggled against the Nazi regime and perished because of it. Stauffenberg, along with his co-conspirators, was executed at the so-called "Bendler Block," a historic building complex located at the southern end of Berlin's Tiergarten park that was once the site of the Army High Command.
The street where the Bendler Block stands was renamed Stauffenbergstrasse in 1955, and in 1967 the Berlin Senate resolved to create a permanent memorial to the resistance there.

However, PSG are not in action until Sunday so a win here would send Montpellier top on goal difference, even if it is for only 24 hours.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Sophomore Sarah McCloud tossed a complete-game shutout to lead 11th-ranked Georgia to a 2-0 upset over top-ranked Washington on Sunday in the Easton SEC/Pac-10/Big 12 Challenge.
It marks the second win over a top-ranked opponent in program history.
Georgia (15-2) has now won two of its last three games against No. 1 teams, having defeated top-ranked Alabama on the final day of the 2008 regular season.
McCloud (7-1) pitched her fourth complete-game shutout, allowing just five Huskies to reach base on three hits and two walks.

MORENO VALLEY: Would-be car buyers robbed; 3 arrested
1 of 3More Galleries
[gallery ids="85343,85344,85345"]
Three times in recent weeks, would-be car buyers have encountered robbers when they met in Moreno Valley with people they thought had vehicles for sale, say sheriff's officials who've arrested three people in the case.
The crime spree began at 9:30 p.m. March 26 when two businessmen met near Hemlock Avenue and Calle Sombra to discuss a deal with a supposed seller who'd answered their advertisement to purchase vehicles.
"Once the two men arrived, ... they were both robbed at gunpoint by two unknown suspects," Sgt. Aaron Kent said in a written statement.
At 12:30 p.m. April 2, a similar robbery was committed in the same area.
Robbery detectives later spoke with a third victim.
On Wednesday, April 9, robbery investigators made a 6 p.m. car stop and nabbed two suspects.
Arrested at Alessandro Boulevard and Flaming Arrow Drive and booked for investigation of conspiracy, two counts of robbery, and one count of attempted robbery were 24-year-old Darren Michael Birks and 33-year-old Rosalyn Marie Pope, jail records show.
Deputies served a search warrant later that day along the 11900 block of Dream Street and seized property believed to have been stolen during past armed robberies, according to the statement. Deputies also confiscated marijuana and took several small children into protective custody.
Arrested during the raid and booked on suspicion of possessing for sale of marijuana, child endangerment and receiving stolen property was 28-year-old Shekeyna Addlice Elliott, jail records show.
Anyone with additional information may call robbery investigators at 951-486-6847.

The Lodge was lovely - it's setting, with its views was ideal, we could even watch the meteor shower from our bed!
It was well looked after but attention should be paid to light bulbs and the knives were appalling and virtually useless.
Having said that we would not hesitate to return to that Lodge again.

Somewhere, over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where laughter fells like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Blue bird fly, birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can't I?

My video blogging (of sorts) debut
Earlier this week I was asked to be a part of a project by Purple States called 50/50/50 – where 50 bloggers, in 50 states respond to questions about the current economic crisis. A new video is added to the site (in alphabetical order by state) for 50 days. There is also an ongoing discussion about the economy and politics in general on the site. I've never done any interviews or video blogging before so this was all new to me (and, I admit, a little nerve-racking at first). I took nearly 20 minutes total video of myself (some recorded between midnight and 1 inRead More →

Game 3 was in Oklahoma City, and the Seattle Center was a veritable ghost town.
It was quiet at the Seattle Center late Saturday afternoon. Too quiet.
Imagine what might have been; what should have been on this Saturday afternoon in May.
Spontaneous chants of "Let's Go Sonics" are breaking out like warning shots.
Lower Queen Anne feels as alive as Times Square. Restaurants are jammed and bars are rocking.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite
Most Read Stories
Despite the chilly temperatures and intermittent showers, the Center is crowded with people wearing green and gold.
Parents and their children, sporting Sonics uniforms — Kevin Durant's No. 35 and Russell Westbrook's No. 0 fill the open spaces of one of Seattle's most enduring landmarks.
A Sonics banner waves insistently from the mast atop the Space Needle.
The air is thick with anticipation for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, the first conference finals in this city in 15 years.
A basketball generation ago, Seattle thrilled to matchups like Gary Payton against John Stockton and Shawn Kemp against Karl Malone.
This Saturday it will be Durant against Dirk Nowitzki and Westbrook against Jason Kidd. The Sonics against the Dallas Mavericks with the series tied 1-1.
But reality bites.
Game 3 was in Oklahoma City, and the Seattle Center was a veritable ghost town. A few tourists stood in front of the fountain taking pictures. An occasional skateboarder clattered down one of the walkways.
Ninety minutes before tipoff inside The Spectator, a sports bar on Queen Anne Ave., the flat screen TVs were turned on, but nobody was inside watching.
"If Game 3 was here this place would be popping, absolutely popping," said Katy Kaune, a bartender there. "It would be insanely packed. The whole neighborhood would be popping.
"Even back in the day, when they still were here and they weren't any good, it was still busy in the neighborhood. There was still stuff going on. But now the whole neighborhood's been affected."
Adam Josephsen, a bartender at Floyd's Place, a block from KeyArena on First Avenue, said he didn't want to think about how much money he would have made if the Sonics had been playing down the street.
"Thinking about that would just make me sad," he said. "The loss of income that this place alone is taking has been terrible, let alone there have been businesses along this same block that have had to shut down because they (Sonics) are not around."
Think about what might have been if the franchise had stayed. How many championship runs will Seattle's basketball fans miss because the Sonics are gone?
Durant and Westbrook are 22. James Harden and Serge Ibaka are 21. This team that used to be in Seattle is reminiscent of the early days of the San Antonio Spurs' dynasty. The Thunder looks positively dynastic.
If the Thunder still were the Sonics, the team would own this city. Backup guard Nate Robinson, a 206 loyalist, would be tweeting that Seattle fans, not neophyte OKC fans, are the best on the planet.
And, btw, the intensity of the reaction of Seattle fans to Robinson's sweetheart tweets about OKC shows just how much people in Seattle still care about the NBA.
In large part, these are young fans that haven't had the chance to experience playoff basketball the way many of us did. They've been cheated out of these opportunities by former owner Howard Schultz, former mayor Greg Nickels, legislative muscleman Frank Chopp, league commissioner David Stern and a host of other shortsighted, unsympathetic sorts.
Seattle fans still care.
Those people who admonish the fans, telling them to stop whining about the loss of the Sonics and start working toward bringing another team to town, aren't paying attention.
Groups are trying. Efforts are being made.
The guys who created the Webby Award-winning documentary "Sonicsgate: A Requiem for a Team" are admirably relentless and creative in their efforts to keep the dream alive.
This summer, Sonic Team Shop owner Jeff Scoma will launch another hoop advocacy group, "Green and Gold."
And state legislators Mike Hope and Dave Frockt are creating a task force that will look into ways to bring back a team. It's the first time since 2009 that anything has percolated in Olympia.
"They need to give us another team," Kaune said. "We want a team."
But grass-roots movements can't do it alone. Bake sales and car washes won't bring the next incarnation of the Sonics back to Seattle.
It's going to take real people with real money who are willing to step up and acknowledge this region's hunger for hoops.
"It used to be so much fun," Kaune said.

Happy Easter, everyone! And with a sunny prelude on Saturday, how can today be any better? Another day filled with sunshine and warm temperatures bumping 70 degrees. It was 70 degrees or more nearly everywhere Saturday from the ocean beaches to central and eastern Oregon and Washington.
We are off to such a great start to spring — last year, we didn't reach the 70s until the third week in April. And it wasn't until June in 2011. We will have a few more days of dry weather until later in the week we return to — well, do I dare say "normal" spring weather, as in clouds and showers? Next weekend most likely won't be like this one, so soak it up while you can.
At 4 p.m., I had 77 degrees on my Salmon Creek deck and Vancouver was 75 degrees, the first 70 degree reading since Oct. 22. Portland Airport set a record high Saturday at 4 p.m. with 75 degrees. The old record, 74 degrees, was set in 1942. Vancouver's record was 81 degrees set in 1923.
I imagine just about everyone ventured outside Saturday. I heard lawn mowers going and saw cars being washed.
The garden centers were busy as a bee selling plants and flowers. Just a reminder: I noticed many people walking out of one garden center with delicate plants such as zinnias and geraniums. The average last frost isn't until later in April for greater Vancouver and into mid-May for the urban areas. So if you got a jump start, be prepared to cover those plants.
If I see any freezes headed our way, I will let you know.

I potted up all the tomato seedlings today from the cell trays to small individual pots. Turns out I have a total of 36 tomato plants – goodness (pic 1). Also potted up the Serrano chillies.
All Green Bush courgette germinated (pic 2).
I was on the lookout for a plastic container with a large surface area and relatively shallow to grow pea shoots in. Seed trays are nearly right but a bit too shallow and would dry out quite quickly. I therefore cut the bottom out of one and duck taped it to the top of another. Then sowed those Bachelor dried peas in it (pic 3). I'll be quite impressed if they germinate.
Dorian Peas and Pea Meteors showing true leaves (pic 4).
Riesenbutter radishes have sprouted in the second sowing but no sign of the Saxa ones yet (pic 5).

booked a half head highlights/ombre, conditioning treatment, cut and finish for 78 pounds at Bibas Hair and Beauty on Saturday. The girl who did my hair was really lovely and overall i was happy with the cut and color. My blow dry went a bit wrong and i looked like an extra from Hairspray! but maybe i didn't explain what i wanted properly. I think the salon really needs to tidy up their booking system though. despite being emailed to let me know my appointment was being pushed back 45 minutes, when i got there i still had to wait at least 45 minutes before the girl was eventually free, even then when we were discussing my color, her next appointment turned up! so it just felt all rushed and disorganized. Also i didn't get my conditioning treatment that i had pre-paid for and when got up to leave they asked me to pay more money, which if anything i think should've been discounted for not having the conditioning treatment and having to wait so long, but i think the Wahanda booking didn't match up to their system. so was just not wowed by the place. Also on their wahanda ad they call it "hombre" its Ombre you numpties!

With online privacy being the main concern for most internet users today, Google has responded to them by introducing SSL support to its search.
Google SSL Search will encrypt all your search traffic preventing any third party eyes from looking at it. Browsing over https will also disable "referrer" which site owners normally use to see where you're coming from.
With + there is always – so do remember that browsing in SSL does have an encryption overhead which will slightly degrade the search performance.
Also, the amount of data collected from your search is the same as the standard search but just more secure. Without this data Google will be nothing 🙂
When you are on the new SSL search page you will realize that the Google logo looks different. It will have "ssl" and "beta" in it. Also, maps and images will not show up as they don't support SSL yet.
Simple goto https://google.com to start searching in privacy.
