Slight alteration in mine. Dh pigged out on the last of the currant jelly so I used raspberry jam and skipped the salt and pepper. I wussed out and used bottled unsweetened applesauce. I thought the vinegar was interesting in this, not something I would have thought to add myself. The mint was delightful and I'll try it from scratch when the weather is cooler because I know that it would be even better.
I like this very much. I've tried it two ways now. I've made it from scratch (using McIntosh apples), and I've also made it using unsweetened bottled applesauce: in this case I added the boiling water to mint in a saucepan, then added the applesauce & all other ingredients and cooked, stirring until the red currant jelly melted. I do prefer the from-scratch way a bit better but both versions were quite tasty to me. A nice accompaniment to lamb.
This was a delicious accompaniment to my pork chop dinner. The color is very nice (slightly reddish-pink) and the mint gives this a nice, sophisticated flavor. This was easy to prepare, and the directions are very clear. I used McIntosh apples and black currant jelly.

Great recipe! As a college student I need a quick breakfast, so I freeze muffins. I used half whole wheat flour and applesauce in place of oil. Moist and tasty! Will use again, but next time add some spices.
These were pretty good but next time, I would use a well greased muffin pan instead of liners as the muffins are sticking in them pretty badly.
I modified this recipe quite a bit to make them vegan, and it was a great base to work from. I'm sure the original will work for a lot of people. I also added a bit of baking spice (or just use cinnamon) for taste. Yum!

I am creating a website with static pages and I would like to somehow customize the widgets differently for different sections of the website. I would like to create pages that will have different links in the sidebars than the rest of the website.
From the main website there will be a link to the main page for that section. Then that page will have links to all of it's child pages. But I only want those links to show up on that page and it's child pages but not on the rest of the website.
Is there a way to do this? Preferably a way without writing code.

Simply put, this is a great tape. Seven super-hot scenes featuring truly incendiary performances. And there's such a variety of elements here that make it a wonderfully mixed bag.
Every scene ends with a sexy chick getting a hot load blasted onto her face. There's some anal in the scenes with Leanni Lei and Charlie, as well as some fun with butt plugs. There's some smoking interracial stuff as Envy Mi attempts to withstand the Lexington Steele assault. (That scene is way strokable.) There's more interracial stuff when sexy Sierra takes on not one, but two thick white dicks without missing a beat. She's also a pro at talking dirty to the camera. Cute Kaylynn explains her fellatio technique in detail before adeptly demonstrating it. Misty just looks incredibly gorgeous taking Erik Everhard from behind. Justine Romée does things with a banana that would give Carmen Miranda an aneurysm. Romée also handles two cocks at once with ease.

Silver Mt Resort is my fams favorite place to vaca.
The lift tickets are reasonable priced, good snow, good people, mt is never very crowded & rarely have to wait in lift lines (just for the record-Ive never been left sitting on a lift there due to lack of maintainance & Ive skiied here for 5+ yrs). The staff on the Mt are top notch, very freindly & provide a great facility with much varied terrain no matter your skill level (I love that they have chair 5 & the carpet lifts for my young less experienced kids & new skiiers, helps keep the other chairs running smoothly, unlike Many others mts that funnel the easy stuff towards the main lifts). There is plenty of challenging terrain for when Im not packin my kids, head back to chair 4 if theres fresh snow overnite most folks hang out up front early & theres some kool stuff out back especially w fresh powder (Idaho's famous for soft dry powder), the tree skiing is kinda limited for me, as alot of this is more overly tree populated for my preferences (call me mortal, just dont forget to call me if Silver gets 6+ inches !!! LOL).
I love skiing this mountain & no I dont work, takes me 4hrs to get there & Ive made this trip probably 50 times --- thats how good it is !!!
Oh and the Resort condos are awesome, top rate rooms. Ammenities, staff, & facilitys are great.
Not the cheapest vacation u can take with kids,
But with the awesome ski facilitys & the water park, your all but guaranteed to be a hero with your kids

In dealing with the given problem of designing a picnic table for Ecole Saint-Enfant-Jesus, the project 'Butterfly Garden' was proposed. The project recognizes the limitations and opportunities impeded within the existing landscape. Fist being the small area of green shaded space, second being the two boundaries or edges confining/ defining the site, the chain link fence and the retaining wall.
The five objects are placed in a manner least intrusive to the existing narrow green space, the object's footprint occupies a small space leaving leaving the green space intact. In dealing the two boundaries, the objects are placed in a way allowing the existing retaining wall to be used as seating surfaces. The chain link fence is seen as a surface were the school's children have the opportunity for expression, where various shapes and textures can be attached to it.
The arrangement and the form of the objects also allow for a variety of activities such as a classroom setting, eating, and playing.

Odin Sphere
We review the most beautiful PS2 game, well, ever.
I count myself among that crowd...yet, if I hadn't been assigned to review the game and forced to stick with it, I might not have given it a fair shake. See, Odin Sphere is really nothing like what most of us have ever played before -- it's the "spiritual successor" to Princess Crown, a 1997 Japan-only Sega Saturn title (yeah, told ya it's like nothing we've played before!). If you approach it like a typical RPG -- which I did at first -- you'll find yourself incredibly frustrated by the seemingly constraining inventory system and initially confounding power-up mechanisms.
|It'll make you want to swear off polygonal graphics forever.
Odin Sphere is a bit unconventional for an RPG in that you don't gain levels automatically. Instead, your statistics are simply divided into two categories: hit points and weapons (dubbed a "Psypher" in-game). You enhance these two abilities by collecting Phozons -- "souls" of the enemies you've slain. In order to increase your Psypher's powers, you have to directly absorb these Phozons; to gain hit points, you have to imbue food with Phozons. But you'll have to actually tend to your own crops most of the time, which means that you'll lug around stuff like spices, eggs, and sheep-tree seeds (yes, sheep-tree seeds). Odin Sphere doesn't give you a lot of inventory space to work with, but it's a bit different from most RPGs in that it wants you to constantly use its items instead of hoarding them away "for later." Start a battle, plant a seed, and then harvest in between waves of enemies (or chase after the sheep and hack away at it if you happened to plant a sheep tree...). Later on in the game, you gain access to two dining establishments, where you can level up further using recipes earned on the battlefield.
Where Odin Sphere truly shines is in its presentation and storytelling. True to its fairy-tale inspiration, the game unfolds as five separate "books" read by a little girl, the first of which centers on a Valkyrie princess -- I'd actually have preferred a choice between the five protagonists, as her tale is definitely the least interesting. The four subsequent stories --- all of them brilliant -- more than make up for this tepid start, though, and all of the characters control differently enough that the game never devolves into tedium. All of the heroes have connections to one another, and it's interesting to discover the little plot twists along the way -- one character's friend may be another's enemy.
What really brings the story to life is Odin Sphere's brilliant, flowing script, which is almost Shakespearean in places. Combined with the gorgeous art, the eloquent dialogue really cements the illusion that you're playing an animated fairy tale. I can't stress enough how important this is -- in the hands of another niche localizer, such as the hit-and-miss NIS America, part of the game's charm might have been lost. Instead, it's been amplified. Atlus USA consistently crafts some of the strongest localizations in the industry, and Odin Sphere is no exception. In fact, it may well be the company's most impressive work yet.
Take the time to savor the experience of Odin Sphere -- they don't make too many like it anymore.

The invention was made with Government support under Contract No. FO 4701-93-C-0094 by the Department of the Air Force. The Government has certain rights in the invention.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by and for the government of the United States for governmental purpose without payment of royalty therefor.
The present patent application is related to applicant's copending application Ser. No. 08/758,709, filed: Feb. 03, 1996, entitled Adaptive Receiving Antenna.
The present invention relates to the field of antenna transmission. More particularly, the present invention relates to adaptive techniques for a transmitting antenna.
Communication systems typically include transmitters for transmitting signals and receivers for receiving the transmitted signals. Some systems have used adaptive techniques to improve the reception of transmitted signals. Adaptive receiving antenna are adaptively reconfigured to optimize signal reception, and a wide variety of technology has been demonstrated for different applications. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,202,990 granted to Howells on Aug. 24, 1965 discloses a receiving antenna system for modifying a received antenna pattern in response to interference capable of degrading reception.
Transmitted signals may be reflected by objects positioned near the transmitter causing reflected signals that distort the transmitted signals producing multipath transmitted signals, which may appear as ghost or shadow signals upon reception. As the transmitter is moved from one position to another, or as interfering objects may be moved from time to time relative to the transmitter, differing multipath transmitted signals and differing reflecting interfering signals are created. The collection of multipath signals will vary in level and delay from the transmit signal. These reflected signals are collectively referred to as multipath signals. Multipaths create distortion of the transmitted-received signals. The multipath signals interfere with and degrade both the transmission signals quality and transmitted signal reception. The most familiar example of multipath degradation is the ghosts that can appear in television video signals caused by delayed reflected signals. Adaptive techniques have been employed to improve the ability to receive multipath transmitted signals. One problem with differing multipath signals including the reflected interfering signals is the distortion of the received signal degrading the performance of a receiver to receive the transmitted signals. Such is the case when using mobile telephone systems where a telephone transmitter is moved during operational use.
In mobile communication systems, user antennas necessarily provide broad coverage characteristics, so that the user is not required to precisely align the antenna when communicating with another terminal and so that the user has a compact antenna design. Broad antenna coverage is sensitive to multipath signals providing an inherent degradation caused by signals reflected from nearby objects. The user experiences not only a direct line of sight signal component but also reflected signals that are delayed in time because of their longer path length.
There are a variety of ways of reducing multipath degradation to received signals. The adaptive combination of antenna elements and adaptive equalization to reduce the effects of time delay differences between the direct line of sight signal and multipath signal to improve signal reception. However, communication systems disadvantageously do not provide adaptive control of transmitted signals. For example, transmitting antennas referred to as retrodirective arrays derive the direction of the transmitted signal from the direction with which the received signal arrives. These retrodirective transmitting antennas derive their capabilities from fixed design techniques, and disadvantageously do not change the characteristics of the transmitted antenna in accordance with the environment and surrounding objects of the antenna at the time of transmission.
Conventional adaptive antenna designs reduce interference when the system is receiving a transmitted signal. Multipath distortion is reduced by the proper selection of weighting coefficients for transversal equalization for a plurality of antenna elements. Cross correlation techniques use adaptive weighting values. The adaptive technique changes and adapts the antenna pattern to maximize the received signal while minimizing interference. Adaptive antenna systems use weight and control, cross-correlation and transversal-equalization techniques to improve the reception of the transmitted signal. In many communication systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA) and code division multiple access (CDMA) techniques having embedded code and carrier modulation are used to increase the capacity of communication systems. Conventional adaptive techniques have been successfully used with the multiple access techniques.
CDMA provides users with respective embedded codes which enable processing techniques to acquire desired signals for respective different users. The ability to detect the embedded codes and separate out respective desired signals is degraded by multipath reflections from objects surrounding the transmitter that distort the transmitted signal and hence the received signal. An adaptive receiving antenna has a plurality of receiving antenna elements with respective optimal weighting coefficients to reduce multipath interference. During reception, the weighting coefficients are adjusted to maximize the strength of the primary CDMA signal in the presence of multipath distortions. A CDMA spread spectrum transmitted signal is cross correlated upon reception with a known code to isolate a desired coded transmitted signal. However, multipath signals that are partially coherent with the desired coded transmitted signal will also pass through the cross correlation and be revealed as superimposed distortion signals. Each of the CDMA spread spectrum codes are assigned to respective users. Each CDMA spread spectrum has a unique Auto Correlation Function having a unity gain when the CDMA transmitted signal is time aligned with the code generated internally by the receiver. Auto Correlation has substantial sidelobes. When multipath signals are time delayed from the primary transmit signals the code cross-correlation results in superimposed distortion. Auto Correlation Function determines the time delayed values. Cross correlation of the received signal and the CDMA coded signals delayed at time delay values is used upon reception to generate coherent multipath reflection signals which are subtracted from the main signal to remove the superimposed distortion and thereby equalized the receive signal to the primary transmit signal.
Even though such receiving antenna have employed adaptive techniques to equalize the receive signal to the primary transmit signal, so as to adequately receive the transmitted signal, the transmitters are still subject to juxtaposed objects causing multipath transmitted signals producing multipath distortion of the transmitted signals. One problem with adaptive receiving antenna is the inability to improve the quality of the transmitted signals. Adaptive receiving antenna do not affect the transmitters nor reduce the creation multipath signals and distortion during transmission. Multi-access transmitters disadvantageously do not adaptively reduce reflected interfering multipath signals.
In terrestrial communication networks having a stationary repeater relay station, such as a cellular communications system, a mobile transceiver transmits a signal towards the relay station which retransmits the signal to another user. Mobile adaptive receivers reduce multipath signals received by the transceiver. The relay station can receive and then retransmit a high quality signal to a receiver with reduced multipath. Existing cellular networks using terrestrial stationary relay stations can transmit a coded signal for adaptive combination and equalization in the receiver to reduce multipath distortions. The adaptive receiver uses cross correlation combination and equalization of received signals. The relay station can transmit coded signals for a particular transceiver within a group of transceivers covered within a broadcast area from the relay station. Such adaptive techniques are successful for terrestrial communication network using stationary relay stations, particularly where there is a relatively low number of transceivers operating within the broadcast area of the relay station. As the number of transceivers, and therefore respective coded signals, increase within a given broadcast area, adaptive techniques will become less effective because of an inability to effectively isolate one coded signal from another over a communication bandwidth. One problem for the mobile communication system is that broad antenna coverage is susceptible to multipath distortions. Multipath distortions of the transmitted and received signals reduce isolation of the coded signals of respective users. Extraterrestrial satellite communications systems are also relay stations that cover a large broadcast area covering a large number of mobile transceivers that are also subject to multipath distortion and reduced isolation between coded signals.
There is a finite distance between the relay station and a mobile transceiver resulting in finite transmission delay which limit the application of receiving adaptive control between the mobile receiver and the mobile transmitter. The resulting transmission delays are too large to function within a close loop adaptive technique. Mobile transceivers communicating with terrestrial and extraterrestrial relay stations suffer from a lack of closed loop control and adaptive techniques to reduce multipath signals and reflections. The mobile transceiver disadvantageously only employs receiving adaptive techniques which operate independent of the relay station.
Both terrestrial relay stations, extraterrestrial satellites and relay stations use different transmit and received frequencies. Because the receive and transmit frequencies are different, the parameters for receive and transmit operations are not identical because multipath components decorrelate with frequency change. Hence, the transmitter only transmits the transmit signals, while the receiver employs the adaptive techniques. Antenna elements in an array have a finite distances between array elements for vectored communications. An antenna element array operates in either a receive mode or a transmit mode. Transceivers may employ two antenna element arrays to enable simultaneous transmission and reception. In such cases, the transmitting array is vectored towards the relay station while the receiver employs adaptive techniques on the received signals from the relay station. The problem of multipath distortion when receiving is solved using conventional adaptive techniques upon reception and vectored transmitted signals upon transmission. Mobile transmitters generate multipath distortions which are reduced by adaptive techniques employed by the receivers. A mobile RAKE receiver implements the adaptive combination and equalization to reduce multipath distortion of received signals. However, the mobile transmitters do not use adaptive techniques to minimize multipath reflection generated proximal to the transmitter. Multipath distortion generated proximal to the transmitter may create multipath distortions at the receiver. Hence, the adaptive techniques are used to reduce multipath distortions within the receiver without attempting to reduce multipath signals generated at the transmitters. These and other disadvantages are solved or reduced using the present invention.
An object of the invention is to provide adaptive control of transmitted signals.
An object of the invention is to reduce multipath signals of transmitted signals.
Another object of the invention is to adaptively control the characteristics of a transmitting antenna in response to the environment surrounding the antenna so that the transmitted signal is not degraded or corrupted by reflected and delayed transmitted signals.
Another object of the invention is to reduce multipath reflections of transmitted signals.
Yet another object of the invention is to adaptively modify the transmitting antenna in response to multipath reflectors in the vicinity of the transmitting antenna.
Still another object of the invention is to adaptively optimize transmission performance as the location of the transmitting antenna changes.
Still a further object of this invention is to adaptively reduce distortions of transmitted signals received by multiple receivers.
A further object of the invention is to adaptively control both the transmitting and receiver antenna as an adaptively controlled transceiver system.
Another object of the invention is to reduce multipath reflections of transmitted signals from a transmitter communicating with a satellite using GPS positioning.
Still another object of the invention is to reduce mutlipath reflections of transmitted signals of a mobile transceiver.
Another object of the invention is to minimize transmission of multipath reflections by varying transmission weighting coefficients of transmission antenna elements.
Yet another object of the invention is to minimize reflections of a transmitted signal by correlating sampled reflections to time delayed transmitted signals providing a correlated output indicative of the strength of the reflective signals.
The present invention uses several antenna elements combined with adaptive weighing circuitry to optimize the performance of transmitting antenna system. In operation, the antenna elements are connected to a transmission signal source. The transmitted signal is partially reflected back to the transmitting antenna and correlated with time delayed replicas of the transmitted signal to provide a measure of the illumination of nearby obstacles that cause multipath reflections. Adaptive control techniques are used to minimize the correlation outputs and hence to minimize the reflected transmitted signal components so as to reduce multipath reflections as sampled at the transmitter to generate a transmitted signal with reduced mutlipath signals. Preferably, the adaptive transmitter has a plurality of antenna elements with respective weighting coefficients that are adjusted by a programmed processor to reduce localized interference and multipath signals. A transmit signal is transmitted by the antenna elements using the respective weighting coefficients. The array of antenna elements are also used to sample the reflected multipath signals which are summed together and cross correlated to the time delayed transmit signal to provide a correlated output signal which measures the strength of the reflected multipath signals which is then minimized by adjusting the weighting coefficients. In this manner, the transmitter uses an array of antenna elements and weighting coefficients to adaptively reduce localized multipath signals for improving the quality of the transmitted signal.
The system can be applied to personal communication system, such as a CDMA design. The individual users have signal spectrums within the bandwidth allocated to a transponder and are assigned orthogonal codes to isolate user signals from each other. Multipath distortions of the transmitted and received signals reduce the code isolation. The adaptive transmitter reduces multipath distortions for improved isolation between coded users signals. A transmitted coded signal within a CDMA scheme is preferably used. The cross correlation properties enhance signal isolation by reducing multipath reflections. Objects that reflect and result in multipath signals in the environment surrounding the transmitting terminal can be detected. The time delays used in the cross correlation processing are selected to detect multipath reflections at ranges that distort the transmitted signal. The adaptive transmitter operates to reduce the reflections that cause multipath. The adaptive transmitter preferably includes beam steering techniques to direct the communication beam towards the communication receiver, such a satellite or relay station. A steering vector may be used to project antenna gain pattern towards the receiver, as well as providing adaptive transmit control.
The present invention provide an ability to adaptively modify the characteristics of a transmitting antenna to optimize system performance for arbitrary antenna locations. The present invention is particularly useful in improving the performance of mobile communication systems and can be used in other systems as well. The present invention enables independent adaptive transmission over long transit time to distal satellites or remote relay stations. The adaptive transmitter functions independent of the transit time when transmitting signals to a satellite or relay station. The adaptive transmitter can be used with a GPS receiver for vectored steering, and can be combined with an adaptive receiver for providing a transceiver having adaptive technique applied to both transmit and receive signals.
The adaptive transmitter can further be used in a radar system so that clutter contributions are less likely to saturate the receiver, or in sonar systems to avoid reflections from isotherms that degrade detection performance. Radar systems have performance degraded by clutter reflections. These and other advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an adaptive transceiver.
The embodiment of this present invention is described with reference to the figures and their reference designations. In FIG. 1, a transmitter 10 is connected to an array of antenna elements 14a-n through weighing circuitry 12a-n. The array of antenna elements 14 may be vector array of antenna elements. These elements 14 collectively produce respective component signals of the transmitted signal. The plurality of weighting elements 12a-n provide respective amplitude and phase weighting of the transmitted signal components. The amplitude and phase of each weighting element 12a-n is controlled by a processor 16. Weighting elements 12a-n are respectively connected to couplers 18a-n respectively connected to vectored antenna elements 14a-n which broadcast the superimposed weighted transmit signal components. The weighted transmission signals may be reflected as reflected signals consisting of reflected component signals subsequently respectively received by the antenna elements 14a-n. Antenna elements 14a-n are respectively connected to couplers 18a-n which communicate respective transmit and receive signal components. The received signal components are summed by a summer 20. The transmit signal broadcasted by the array elements 14 are reflected from nearby objects, not shown. The strength of these reflected signals depend on the illumination of the reflecting objects. The couplers 18a-n are bidirectional devices which respectively couple the weighted transmission component signals from the weighting elements to the antenna elements 14a-n, and respectively communicate the reflected component signals from the antenna elements 14a-n to a summer 20 which provides a sum signal to a mixer 22. The transmission signal is delayed by a time delay 24 which is controlled by the processor 16. The time delay 24 provides for one or more time delays. The time delayed transmission signal is cross correlated with the sum signal using the mixer 22 and an integrator 26 providing a cross correlation output to the processor 16. That is, the transmitted signal is delayed in time 24 and cross-correlated with the reflected component signals. The correlated output is proportional to the reflected component signal within a prescribed range of separation distances from the transmitting antenna array 14. This correlated output is communicated to the processor 16, which uses adaptive algorithms to reduce the strength of the reflected component signal by varying the values of the adaptive weights 12aN to reduce the correlation output. By minimizing the illumination of the reflecting objects, transmitted multipath components are reduced. During transmission of the transmitted signal towards the receiver, the transmitted signal may be reflected by proximal objects, not shown, located proximal to the transmitter. The reflections result in the creation of proximal multipath signals. The adaptive technique of the adaptive antenna reduces proximal multipath signals resulting in lower distortion of the transmitted signal. The transmitter is preferably a CDMA transmitter broadcasting a spread spectrum CDMA modulated transmit signal coded by an individual code. The antenna elements 14 preferably function as a vector antenna providing a composite transmitted beam toward a receiver, not shown, which may be a communication satellite. The weighing elements 12 have amplitude and phase values which direct the composite transmitted beam towards the communication satellite.
The processor 16 can select one or more time delay values of the time delay 24. Certain reflective signals at respective time delays are more disruptive to reception of the primary signal by virtue of coherent multipath signals. These coherent multipath signals are not completely decorrelated upon reception and must be removed from the cross correlation output. The time delay values correspond to the most significant side lobe peaks within an auto correlation function defined by the coded spread spectrum. The time values correspond to time delays of reflected multipath signals. Not all multipath signals will produce distortion. Only multipath signals that are coherent with the primary signal at predetermined time delays will cause distortion. The cross-correlation between the sum signal and the time delayed transmit signal delayed by one or more of the time values provides for the cross-correlation output value at the integrator 26. The cross correlation output indicates the presence of disruptive multipath signals that will distort function iy signal. The processor 16 function is to determine the weighting values which minimize the correlation output. The processor 16 adjusts the weighting amplitude and phase value of the weighting elements 12 to reduce the cross correlation output to thereby reduce proximal disruptive multipath signals.
The auto-correlation function determines those time delay values corresponding to potential disruptive multipath signals. Thus, the selected code and bandwidth determines the potential time delays to be selected. One or more of the these time delays are selected preferably and as selectable taps of the time delay 24. The processor 16 selects time delays in sequence to delay the transmit signal which is then cross-correlated in sequence with the reflected signals to generate respective cross-correlation outputs indicating the amount of distributive multipath signals at respective time delays. The processor 16 then adjust the weighting values to minimize cross correlation outputs to minimize the disruptive multipath signals at respective time delays.
The processor 16 executes iterative processing by varying one weighting value while holding the remaining ones constant. Such iterative processing methods are well known by those skilled in the art. The processor 16 also adjusts the weighting amplitude and phase values of the weighting elements 12 to direct the beam towards relay station, such as a communication satellite. The wave front of the broadcasted signal is redirected by adjusting the phase of each transmitted component. The antenna elements 14 are preferably a vector of identical elements marginally displaced from each other. The antenna elements 14 may have respective weighting phase shifts adjusted to receive a maximize signal in a particular direction. The phase shifts are set to null multipath distortions yet direct a beam towards a remote receiver, communication satellite or relay station. The steering amplitude and phase for each weighting element 12 results in a beam directed at an angle to present a uniform wave front toward the receiver. The processor 16 would store a steering vector so that the antenna elements 14 function together to project a main beam toward the receiver. The weighting elements 12 are adjusted to not only reduce multipath signals but also to beam steer the transmit signal towards a remote receiver.
The adaptive antenna may be used in personal communication satellite systems where a multitude of small user terminals communicate via a satellite link. In these systems, the individual users must be isolated from one another so that they do not mutually interfere. One means of isolating users is to use a CDMA scheme, where each user is assigned an orthogonal code that spreads the transmit signal over a bandwidth assigned to the system. By correlating the received signal with the code the desired signal can be received. The orthogonal code set has the property that correlation with the correct code yields a strong output for the desired signal. Using cross-correlation in this way, isolation among simultaneous user is achieved by the use of the proper code. Distortions in these coded signals reduce the output level of the received signal. The distortion in the transmitted signals results in interference to other users and the overall performance is degraded for all user signal.
The adaptive transmit system has the ability to control reflections at different separations from the transmitting antenna. The auto correlation properties of the CDMA code together with the selection of the time delay value 24 control the reflections at different spatial separations from the transmitting antennas. In operation, reflections at different separations from the transmitting antenna need to be controlled. Reflecting objects far from the transmitting antenna are not typically troublesome. Because of the large separations, distal objects are not strongly illuminated resulting in low multipath strengths. Moreover, a direct line of sight path to potentially reflecting objects may not be available. A large time delay difference results in decorrelation of the reflected signal reducing disruptive multipath components. Reflections very close to the transmitting antenna experience relatively little delay with reduced distortion. Reflected transmitted components are most disruptive when reflected at intermediate separations from the transmitting antenna. The path delays for these intermediate reflective components add and subtract over the bandwidth causing significant distortions to the transmitted signal. Changes in the distance between the transmitting element 14 and the receiver produce rapid changes in the receiver spectra, and are referred to as fast fading by those experienced in dealing with multipath degradations. Multipath distortions from intermediate separations between the transmitter and nearby objects, produce fast fading of the received signal. The adaptive transmitter reduces fast fading.
The time delay selection and the correlation properties of the code are used to reduce reflections that are most disruptive to transmission performance. One or more delay values can be used to reduce multipath distortions from the transmitting antenna. The weighting circuits 12a-n would include amplitude and phase weighing coefficients to provide the adaptive equalization. The weighing circuits 12 may include delay components for equalization in wideband systems. The delay components insert multiple time delays with amplitude and phase control for each delay components all of which are summed an equalized output. The processor 16 controls the weighing circuitry 12 in minimizing reflected components. A typical control implementation would be a constrained least mean square (CLMS) technique capable of rapidly determining the adaptive weight values. However, such solutions must contain constraints to avoid the trivial solution of setting the weight values to zero which indeed minimizes reflections but also results in no transmitted signal. Thus, the adaptive control algorithms in the processor 16 must contain constraints to preclude this trivial solution. A common constraint is maintaining beam pointing in the direction of the desired signal direction.
Referring to FIG. 2, a GPS receiver 30 and GPS antenna 32 can be included in a GPS adaptive transmitter also having the transmitter 10, weights 12, transmit antenna element 14, processor 16, couplers 18, summer 20, mixer 22, time delay 24, and integrator 26. The GPS receiver 30 is used to determine the transmitter location, and hence the pointing direction of the antenna 14. The processor 16 would have the additional requirement to derive the pointing direction from the location determined from the GPS receiver 30 and the location of the relay station. The location of the relay station can be obtained by ephemeris information broadcasted by the relay station. The GPS adaptive transmitter using GPS location to steer the transmit beam towards a remote receiver, not shown, such as a satellite.
Satellite communication systems cover a large broadcast area which may include a relatively large number of transceivers, and therefore are used to communicate a large number of coded signal. Adaptive transmission technique provide for improve isolation between the many coded signals which might otherwise cross correlate with each other increasing interference.
Referring to FIG. 3, the adaptive transmit antenna system can also be integrated with a receiving system to form a complete adaptive transceiver. Adaptive techniques are well suited for both the user transmitters and receivers comprising a combination antenna elements and adaptive equalization within weighing circuitry. These adaptive techniques improve performance for an individual user by reducing received multipath levels. By controlling the distortion of the transmitted signal adaptively, interference with other systems is reduced. An integral adaptive transceivers employs coupled adaptive transmission and reception techniques. The adaptive transceiver is preferably used in a satellite communication CDMA system. Satellite communication systems have a limited bandwidth, e.g. 30 MHz, in which to communicate many user signals. CDMA spread spectrum modulation is used to encode many user signals within this limited bandwidth. The code is used to isolate user signals from each other. The equalization techniques remove distortion over that band width. RAKE receivers seek to remove multipath signals, within the 30 MHz band width, that distort the primary signal. The great number of user signals within the band width require improved isolation techniques. Multipath signals generated by one user presents additional potential interfering signals to disrupt not only the individual transmitter signal, but also other transmit signals from other users. With the multiplicity of the codes using the cross-correlation isolation method to acquire the primary signal, the adaptive transmitter is used to not only remove disruptive signal for the individual user signal, but also remove disruptive signals which may distort transmit signals from other the users. Hence, the reduction of the multipath signals from a transmitter reduces distortion of signal from the transmitter and also reduces potentially disruptive signal from interfering with other transmitted signal using similar codes and cross-correlation methods over the same band width.
The adaptive transceiver is preferably enabled by the transmitter 10, transmission weights, a-n, transmit antenna elements 14, processor 16, summer 20, mixer 22, time delay 24, and integrator 26, as well as a receiver 40, reception weights 44a through 44n and respective reception antenna elements 46a through 46n. The processor 16 determines the adaptive weighing values for the receive antenna. The summer 20 receives signals from the reception antenna elements 46 weighted by reception weights 44. The summer output is mixed by the mixer 22 with transmitted signal delayed by time delay 24 providing a mix output which is integrated by integrator 26 to provided the cross correlation output between a delay transmission signal and received signals. The processor 16 is used to minimize received multipaths by varying both the transmission weight 42 and reception weight 44. The adaptive transceiver thus includes an additional receiver 40 and receive antenna elements 46. The elements 42 and 46 can be replaced with a dual frequency design where the transmit and receive signals are separated by diplexers, not shown. The adaptive weighing values for transmit weights 42 differ from the values for receive weights 44 even in the case of a dual frequency design because the receive and transmit frequencies are different to avoid self interference. The difference in the receive and transmit frequencies decorrelates the multipath so that the optimum weighing values differ between the transmit and receive frequencies.
The present invention is an adaptive transmitter having a vector antenna for adaptive transmission to reduce multipath signals to reduce distortion of the transmit signal and to reduce potentially disruptive signals interfering with other transmit signals communicated within the same band width. The vector antenna includes weighting elements for adaptive transmissions. The weighted vector antenna is also preferably used for beam steering within satellite communication systems. The adaptive transmitter can be further improved and enhanced. However, those enhancements, improvements and modifications may nonetheless fall within the spirit and scope of the following claims.

I don't know if you've ever played trials, but it's sort of like that. You have to kind of shift your weight using the left analogue stick. Get the car so it's resting all it's wheels on the side of the first small vertical rock then boost a bit to get on top of it. Stop on the side of the rock with the pumpkin on it and again get the car to lean on the rock. The car should be almost vertical. Then boost to get to the top, but don't go zooming over the edge. Stop on top and then boost and push the analogue stick back and soon as you touch the other side, push forward and you should land safely on the other side. That last bit is the hardest part. Took me a few goes, but I got it after a few tries. As I say, It helped having played trials.

Prostate Enlargement/BPH Health Center
Home Treatment
If your urination problem caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is mild to moderate and does not bother you, home treatment may be all you need to help keep your symptoms from interfering with your daily activities. Your doctor may want to see you regularly to check on your symptoms.
The following tips may help minimize your symptoms:
- Practice "double voiding." Urinate as much as possible, relax for a few moments, and then urinate again.
- Relax before you urinate. Worrying about your symptoms can make them worse.
- Take plenty of time to urinate.
- Urinate while sitting down instead of standing.
- While you are waiting, think of other things or read.
- Turn on a faucet or picture running water in your mind. This may help get your urine flowing.
- Do not limit your fluid intake to avoid urinating. You could become dehydrated, which can cause other problems.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol. These substances make your body try to get rid of water. They can make you urinate more often.
- If possible, avoid medicines that can make urination difficult, such as nonprescription antihistamines, decongestants (including nasal sprays), and allergy pills. Check with your doctor or pharmacist about all of the medicines you take.
You may want to try an herbal therapy for BPH, such as saw palmetto or beta-sitosterol. Before you start an herbal therapy, talk to your doctor about whether it might be helpful.

"To/From Ayacucho: take the bus" Ayacucho Transportation Tip by adelinemmc
Ayacucho Transportation: 2 reviews and 1 photos
Ayacucho to/from Andahuaylas = 10 hours and 25 soles no paved roads at all. Bus company is Los Chankas. Take warm clothes and a good book (and your camera at the ready because the scenery is very beautiful)
Ayacucho to/from Lima = in 2005 you could do most of the distance on the Lima-Cusco bus. You'll have to get off the bus in the middle of nowhere and take a cab/collectivo for the rest of the trip. I think I have read somewhere that there is now a bus lima-Ayacucho so check other tips and search the web/guide books!

Home Builders Care Foundation, Inc.
Rating: 5 stars 12 12 reviews
1738 Elton Rd Ste 200 Silver Spring MD 20903 USA
The mission of Home Builders Care Foundation, the charitable construction organization of the Maryland-National Capital Building Industry Association, is to complete construction projects, with particular focus on shelter-related projects, by leveraging the industry's specialized building construction skills and by collaborating with existing community service providers serving the homeless and other at-risk populations.
In 2011, we undertook over 9 comprehensive renovation projects with a total construction value over $500K. Our charitable construction efforts helped improve housing facilities for low-income seniors, autistic adults, formerly homeless families, runaway and at-risk youth, a gold star mother, and victims of HIV/AIDS. Over $350K in construction costs were saved with our involvement. Savings can now be applied to direct social services for clients of our partnering agencies.

Reviews for Home Builders Care Foundation, Inc.
I have served on the Board of Home Builders Care Foundation since 2001. I have been very impressed by the ability of the organization to leverage the financial contributions and building expertise of its donor base to provide shelter for the disadvantaged members of our community. The Foundation is unique in that it provides through volunteer builder captains construction services that typically are beyond the reach of nonprofits or governmental agencies at a very low or no cost. The Foundation will partner with the nonprofit or governmental agency where appropriate to insure that the project benefits the ultimate clientele, whether that be a homeless shelter, transitional housing project, or permanent supportive housing. Since I have been on the Board, Home Builders Care Foundation has contibuted to the success of over 25 projects located throughout the Metropolitan Washington DC area.

Homebuilder's Care Foundation has done exceptional work in the Washington region - building homeless shelters, restoring apartment buildings, group homes etc. The foundation brings together the best of the building industry - in terms of both generosity and expertise - to use our resources to help worthy orgainzations. HBCF performs a rigorous review of the organizations we help as well as a professinal evaluation of their building needs and plans. It is a great leveraging of time, money and talent to help the community

I bleieve they are doing an excellent job - especialy in this difficult economy
I've been on the Board for over 10 years and have participated in many projects which have aided homeless and other disadvantaged people. I personally worked on an extensive renovation of the Gospel Rescue Mission facilities in DC for homeless men. I also worked on the renovation of several group homes for the emotionally challenged in Maryland. Our organization can be strengthened by increased recognition from donors and grantors, particularly while the home building industry is working its way out of the present severe recession.

HBCF has aided hundreds of homeless and disadvantaged people by providing in-kind donations and funds raised from the home building industry. Most of these facilities would not have been completed without our assistance.

As the state of the home building industry improves, we would like to get more builders to serve as job captains, so we could do more projects each year.
Our efforts have assisted in a very positive way a number of organizations that serve the homeless in the DC Metro area. Many of the recipients of our services are smaller organizations that might not be able to afford renovations/improvements. It is gratifying that when new homebuilders around the country are struggling to survive (and many have not) that they still find the time, energy and funds to give back to those that provide services to the homeless. A recent project of great importance was the completion of a home for TASSC(Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition International).

NO bad new coming out, market down a bit, yet EA is triple the loses of anything else, christ I hope earning are good, or im done
it could easily go to 16 dollars if the markets get weak again which i see happening due to europes problems
Ah, I wish I was in your boat Dale, I went all in a while ago and am waiting this out. If you are lucky enough to grab a $19.50 cost base, I would say do it. EA has always shown support at $19 and change. I don't see much risk at this price, volume is back to good, so people are buying.
I agree with your analysis. The question for the day/week/month is: When will the "zynga effect" be over and EA pps bottom out so that we have a nice entry point to get back in before the next ER. I too expect a really good report with a sizable positive effect on pps; the problem is pps from where? Good luck to all. dales53
IMO, it is a value stock once the ER comes out. Sorry for not disclosing the forward looking statements. And it is a growth company because of its social and digital developments and because it continues to strive to create organic growth via games like SWTOR.
It is undervalued at $19. It is taking a beating because a little game company that makes a couple games and is completely tied to facebook for their revenue, that has a huge risk factor went public with too high an offering. EA is getting beat down because of that?! It is ridiculous, it just shows how the investment community doesn't understand the gaming industry. To say that EA and Zynga are apples to apples is absurd. And one effecting the other's PPS is asburd. This is once again another Jeetil Patel move, re-iterating a sell with a $12 target the day before earnings where is turned out (surprise, surprise!) to be a blow out.
It is also taking a beating because the market was supposedly looking for revised guidance, I guess you have to work on wall street to see that one coming... Thanks to JR and Brown for not stepping up to the plate for that one. They would rather see their PPS erode on no news until they can surprise at ER... Like children. So instead of maintaining $23 then going to $26 we go from $23 to $19 then back to $23. Joy!
growth and value? Growth usually indicates an above average PE which is deserved due to growth much higher than its peers. Value usually indicates a fair or low PE which will get you a decent but not great return. Can't really be both IMO.
I saw that on December 26, which from the sale of the game itself should provide a great bump for their quarterly revenue numbers (if they chose to include it). But after the 30 days free, people will have to decide whether or not to break out that credit card an sign on for $15 per month to continue playing. I am not a MMO expert by any means so I don't truly know if the 375,000 peak users is a good thing or a bad thing. Does that mean that 375,000 Americans play it during N.A. time zones then 375,000 play it during EU time zones which means they have 750,000 people playing it or is it merely saying that 375,000 is the most that play the game? Either way we were all hoping for 1.5+ million players, which is what sold but are not continuing to play.
But that said, like many have said on this board, SWTOR even with good success wouldn't really make a big impact on their total revenue number. So if people are selling down to $19 because of a poorly performing SWTOR, they are forgetting a whole year of digital expansion.
The SWOTR is not selling as well as they would wish. Servers which were full at beggining are now half empty. That game was bigest hope for steady income and as for now it is not going well for EA.
The isn't true. The game was mostly sold out everywhere. Sales were down in the 2nd week because EA was limited supply on purpose. The game has set every new MMO sales record and is probably at about 2 million subscribers and growing. It is everything we thought it would be.
If the sell-off is related, then it is ill-informed.
So what is the floor for a pessimistic EA? If SWTOR, doesn't get traction in MMO, (all the rest is pretty unbelievable but...) if digital is down, if BF3 sale don't shine, what is the target for EA? It range traded between $17.50 and $19.50 a year ago. Is that the new range? Are all 2011 moves going to be ignored? Seems a bit ridiculous. But here we are on another up day for the markets and EA at $19.25. Seems a bargain for a $21 stock. Before it was an EU issue, now there is no excuse for people selling at this level. At least volume is back.
No kidding. The only thing that I can think of is that Zynga's IPO is the worst thing that has ever happened to EA. Bad IPO = EA $23->$21. Any bad news regarding Zynga seems to make EA PPS dump. It is ridiculous, but here we are. I have gone from very confident to now a little nervous about the ER. They do screwy accounting and could turn a great quarter into a neutral one. The large volume sell off as EA broke through its floor of $19.90 to me seems like a computer based trading issue. From the one day chart is looks like about 5 of the 7 million shares traded in the last 1.5 hours, that should gain some attention for tomorrow.
strange. what's the bad news?

Sabres center Daniel Briere has been diagnosed with a sports hernia and will have surgery in Montreal early next week. Briere is expected to be out until April. He had an ultrasound scan in Toronto on Friday that confirmed the sports hernia. He was examined on Thursday by Montreal Canadiens team physician Dr. David Mulder, a specialist in abdominal injuries. Mulder will perform the surgery. "It's a big hit," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "He's a game-breaker and we're going to miss him."more
