Amazon.com Review
This music they derived from had been part of the American fabric in an anonymous way that can only be explained as folklore and myth, and they breathed new life into it while adhering to its legacy. Though never intended for release, these recordings molded into the tradition of music as oral history, and appropriately, a few tapes were passed hand to hand, then some were pressed as bootleg records, which then spread like rumors. This folk revival conjured up a collection of timeless stories that many had heard in a slightly different form without ever knowing who started them. Just as Dylan did with the Basement Tapes, Marcus's exhilarating book extends beyond music and into the psyche of America, making the present more clear by putting the past into focus. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

(Mods, if you notice any glaring spoilers that I missed out and haven't covered, please feel free to do so!)
I decided to type up some synopses for the Brotherhood anime episodes. I know it's a bit weird to start from episode 15, but I enjoy watching Brotherhood more from episodes 15 onwards.
If anyone wants to type up synopses for episodes before or after 15-26, let me know so I won't go and type them up.
I did have to watch through these episodes again to write these, but I apologise if I've missed anything important out: I'll most likely revise them later and add and take away wherever necessary. I tried to make them detailed, but not just "he did that, then she did this"...
(Set out in the same format as the FMA-1 episodes on the main site...)
BE WARNED!!! There WILL be spoilers!
15. "Envoy From the East" (東方の使者)

In the past decade Europe has been affected by three remarkable weather extremes. The summers of 1995 and 2003 were extremely hot throughout most parts of Europe. In contrast, 2002 was very wet and saw extreme flooding in central Europe. Changes are also projected for the amount of rainfall in Europe, which could more pronounced flooding. Cold winters (which occurred once every 10 years from 1961 to 1990) are likely to become rare and will almost entirely disappear by 2080. In contrast, by 2080 nearly every summer in many parts of Europe is projected to be hotter than the 10 % hottest summers in the current climate. In southern Europe, these changes are projected to occur even earlier (in Spain by the 2020s) (Parry, 2000). This could have severe consequences for agriculture, water resources and the frequency of forest fires in southern Europe.

The frequency of very wet days has significantly decreased in recent decades in many places in southern Europe, but increased in mid and northern Europe. Cold winters are projected to disappear almost entirely by 2080 and hot summers are projected to become much more frequent. This will have a continuing effect on mountain regions. For every 1°C increase in temperature, the snowline rises by 150 metres. And by 2050, three-quarters of today's glaciers in parts of the Alps are expected to have disappeared.

A few months ago, I took a promotion at work and had to relocate to San Diego. I contacted Sulthar Properties about leasing my house, but decided to sell it and go with a "big name" real estate company. Months passed and I continued to hear from Stephanie (she never gave up on me). I am so glad she didn't because after my house was not getting hardly any showings, I finally contacted her and told her about my situation. She and Tracy immediately got to work. They came over to look at the house, provided me with contacts and services I may need and had the paperwork ready in no time. They immediately began marketing my house and kept me up to date on status. They were so responsive to my calls and emails. In 11 days, my home was rented! I couldn't believe it! If I knew the service I was going to get with Sulthar, I would have gone with them versus listing my house with a bigger company in the first place. Thank you so much for all your help, Stephanie and Tracy!

Franca Sozzani Likes Watching Top Model Contestants Cry
Don't you?
At Harvey Nichols in London this week, Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani headlined a daylong "Vogue Experience" event, where part of the store's fourth floor was transformed to look like her magazine's office space (to make her feel at home, no doubt). It served as a networking for bright and starry-eyed young folk hoping to jump-start careers in the fashion industry, with Sozzani, LOVE editor Katie Grand, designers Christopher Kane, Philip Treacy, and Manolo Blahnik, and journalists Lisa Armstrong and Sarah Mower offering insight and advice, viewing portfolios, and generally just being fawned over. Between counseling the event's many attendees, Sozzani took some time to chat with us about her magazine's partnership with America's Next Top Model. "When I was there — to see these girls, they all cry when one is the winner. And they all go to the winner and they kiss her and they all cry, and I think, 'I am not sure they are happy for her.' But at the same time I know they are happy they have made it that far all together, so it makes me laugh and not cry at the least," said Sozzani, who guest judges each season and gives the winner the cover of Italian Vogue's beauty supplement and a spread in the regular issue. But she's right: It takes all of five minutes watching Top Model to know that most of the girls are about three steps away from maiming each other with curling irons — it's certainly not about collective happiness.

Read an Excerpt
At times like this I realize I'm too old to be starting over, working with law clerks. I own pantyhose with more mileage than these kids, and better judgment. For example, two of the clerks, Ben Safer and Artie Weiss, are bickering as we speak; never mind that they're making a scene in an otherwise quiet appellate courtroom, in front of the most expensive members of the Philadelphia bar.
"No arguing in the courtroom," I tell them, in the same tone I use on my six-year-old. Not that it works with her either.
"He started it, Grace," Ben says in a firm stage whisper, standing before the bank of leather chairs against the wall. "He told me he'd save me a seat and he didn't. Now there's no seats left."
"Will you move, geek? You're blocking my sun," Artie says, not bothering to look up from the sports page. He rarely overexerts himself; he's sauntered through life to date, relying on his golden-boy good looks, native intelligence, and uncanny jump shot. He throws one strong leg over the other and turns the page, confident he'll win this argument even if it runs into overtime. Artie, in short, is a winner.
But so is Ben in his own way; he was number two at Chicago Law School, meat grinder of the Midwest. "You told me you'd save me a seat, Weiss," he says, "so you owe me one. Yours. Get up."
"Eat me," Artie says, loud enough to distract the lawyers conferring at the counsel table like a bouquet of bald spots. They'd give him a dirty look if he were anyone else, but because he works for the chief judge they flash capped smiles; you never know which clerk's got your case on his desk.
"Get up. Now,Weiss."
"Separate, you two," I say. "Ben, go sit in the back. Argument's going to start any minute."
"Out of the question. I won't sit in public seating. He said he'd save me a seat, he owes me a seat."
"It's not a contract, Ben," I advise him. For free.
"I understand that. But he should be the one who moves, not me." He straightens the knot on his tie, already at tourniquet tension; between the squeeze on his neck and the one on his sphincter, the kid's twisted shut at both ends like a skinny piece of saltwater taffy. "I have a case being argued."
"So do 1, jizzbag," Artie says, flipping the page.
I like Artie, but the problem with the Artie Weisses of the world is they have no limits. "Artie, did you tell him you'd save him a seat?"
"Why would I do that> Then I'd have to sit next to him." He gives Ben the finger behind the tent of newspaper.
I draw the line. "Artie, put your finger away."
"Ooooh, spank me, Grace. Spank me hard. Pull my wittle pants down and throw me over your gorgeous knees."
"You couldn't handle it, big guy."
"Try me." He leans over with a broad grin.
441 mean it, Artie. You're on notice." He doesn't know I haven't had sex since my marriage ended three years ago. Nobody's in the market for a single mother, even a decent-looking one with improved brown hair,, authentic blue eyes, and a body that's staying the course, at least as we speak.
"Come on, sugar," Artie says, nuzzling my shoulder. "live the dream."
"Cut it out."
"You read the book, now see the movie."
I turn toward Ben to avoid laughing; it's not good to laugh when you're setting limits. "Ben , you know he's not going to move. The judges will be out any minute. Go find a seat in the back."
Ben scans the back row where the courthouse groupies sit; it's a lineup that includes retired men, the truly lunatic, even the homeless. Ben, looking them over, makes no effort to hide his disdain; you'd think he'd been asked to skinnydip in the Ganges. He turns to me, vaguely desperate. "Let me have your seat, Grace. I'll take notes for you."
"No.""But my notes are like transcripts. I used to
sell them at school."
"I can take my own notes, thank you." Ten years as a trial lawyer, I can handle taking notes-, taking notes is mostly what I do now as the assistant to the chief judge. I take notes while real lawyers argue, then I go to the library and draft an opinion that real lawyers cite in their next argument. But I'm not complaining. I took this job because it was part-time and I'm not as good a juggler as Joan Lunden, Paula Zahn, and other circus performers.
"How about you, Sarah?" Ben asks the third law clerk, Sarah Whittemore, sitting on my other side. "You don't have a case this morning. You can sit in the back."
Fat chance. Sarah smooths a strand of cool blond hair away from her face, revealing a nose so diminutive it's a wonder she gets any oxygen at all. "Sorry, I need this seat," she says.
I could have told him that. Sarah wants to represent the downtrodden, not mingle with them.
A paneled door opens near the dais and the
court crier, a compact man with a competent air, begins a last-minute check on the microphones at the dais and podium. Ben glances at the back row with dismay. "I can't sit back there with those people. One of them has a plastic hat on, for God's sake."
Artie looks over the top of his paper. "A plastic hat? Where?"
"There." Ben jerks his thumb toward a bearded man sporting a crinkled cellophane rain bonnet and a black raincoat buttoned to the neck.Final Appeal. Copyright © by Lisa Scottoline. Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved. Available now wherever books are sold.

Enjoyable reading. I continue to read this authors work and would always recommend this to anyone who enjoys John Grishom, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, John Lecroart...
I have read a lot of her books, and to me, this one falls in the middle somewhere...not great, but not awful, either. The character development, except for the main character s not that well done, and you can't help wonder what the heck it was all about at the end. Maybe I'm being too picky, but it just left an empty taste in my mouth.
What on earth was she thinking? I'm so glad I bought this nook book for less than $4 or I'd really be miffed. I couldn't even finish it. Was this a creative writing assignment in dialogue? it's all dialogue. Well, maybe it isn't but there was enough of all dialogue in the first chapter to stop me from reading further. Who has time to spend on something that's not appealing. Read it if you must. Since it has such a "high stared" review, someone enjoyed it. So give it a try. It could be just for people other than me. The first book, "Every where that Mary went" was very good. i'll recommend it without hesitation. Enjoy.
Although entertaining, this book is definitely not as good as others by the author. I was disappointed by 'who done it'. 'Mistaken Identity' and 'Everywhere That Mary Went' are the best in my opinion.
This was my first Scottoline book, and I don't believe I'll read another. Utterly forgettable characters, and the reading level appeared to be at the 4th or 5th grade.
A good read. Not her best but not bad.
I'm in the middle of it now and I must say, I've read several books by Lisa Scottoline and I am surprised and disappointed with the language although the story is good, I never have seen the point in using the f... word and it's in this book entirely too much. I want to see how it ends but don't know if I can get past that word much more.
This is a great book with lots of drama and action. It almost ranks up there with the rest of her material.
From page one - which draws the reader in and makes one feel part of the plot - to the last page, it is hard to put Lisa's books down. Needless to say, as soon as this book is finished the reader is SO ready for the next one. Brilliant writer - want to see her books as movies!
I love all her books, I always look forward to a new one coming out.
This is a great read if you want something thats not to long. It holds you're attention but it's over way to soon.
It took a while to get into the story, but once I did, I enjoyed it.
A one off book, but still about lawyers in Philadelphia. This time a single mother, working part time after a divorce. She has issues with her mother, is in love with her boss and has to mother 3 young clerks. Trouble starts when she works late with her boss - Chief of the third district court of appeals, on a death penalty case. Variety of characters and interwoven stories. Some could have used a little more development, but overall enjoyable.

Out of the blue, WordPress is now adding some weird code at the end of my permalink URLs:
It always has a pound sign # and a dot after it followed by a alphanumeric number which changes every time you refresh.
Does anyone have any idea of what this is or how to fix? I checked my permalink settings and they are still correct (/%category%/%year%/%postname%/), although trying any of the regular formats results in the exact same 'code' being added to the end of the URL.
Thank you so much in advance!!

Since I found other complaints against this awful Breeder I want to share my story too.
In 2009 I searched the internet for a couple of weeks to find that perfect little schnauzer for my family. I came across Blairs Toy Schnauzers.
My phone conversations with Amy went well and I purchased my first Schnauzer from her. The picture on the site was of a healthy, very cute, tiny male. I asked her for references which she did provided from other owners from the same litter. I thought everything was ok. What I received at the air port was a 4 pound starved pup, ridden with coccidia, a second row of teeth, and in very poor health. But it gets worse; 2 months later he starts limping on his back leg. He was diagnosed with leg-calf Perthes disease and required a major surgery. This disease is inherited from this parents or someone in his parents line. I told Amy Blair about this yet she still breeds both the parents EVERY SINGLE HEAT!!! She never offered any help with the vet bills. She was rude and very nasty on the phone. I have spend $3000 for surgery and Amy could care less.
Do not buy a puppy from this woman, she is a liar and a thief!!!
Amy Blair also has many many other females whom she breeds every heat they go into, and she thinks these kind of breeding practices are ok. She sells these poor puppies for around $1500 to $2500 each. The AKC and other canine registries are partially to blame because they allow a dog to be registered to more then one litter a year.
Do your research on this Breeder. Please don't purchase a dog from Blairs Toy Schnauzers or you will be sorry. I did, and it was a terrible mistake.

Koncz: Manny Pacquiao Supported Roach's Firing of Ariza
by Ronnie Nathanielsz
Manny Pacquiao's adviser Michael Koncz has claimed that the "Fighter of the Decade" had met with trainer Freddie Roach and agreed to the celebrated trainer's decision to fire strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza.
In an overseas telephone conversation with BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard which broke the story after Ariza told us he doesn't work for Roach so there's no way he can fire him, Koncz said he was there when Pacquiao and Roach met in Macau to discuss his preparation for the showdown with Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios and Pacquiao agreed that Freddie "is in charge of the training camp and whatever Freddie wants Manny is in support of."
Reportedly Roach didn't want Ariza with whom both he and Koncz have had differences with in the past.
When reminded by us that he had always insisted "Manny is the boss" and the individual who makes all the decisions, Koncz said "no matter who's the boss, Manny agreed with what Freddie wanted and that's it."
At the same time Koncz said the Pacquiao entourage will return on Friday from what he described as a "highly successful but grueling media tour with the media response in Macau and China unbelievable."
He said it would be a grueling journey of almost 40,000 miles when its over but it was "fantastic."
He predicted the Pacquiao-Rios showdown will "make history as one of the most successful shows with the number of people in China" driving the numbers both in terms of attendance and TV viewership.
Koncz said he expects the Cotai Arena at the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino to be sold out with a large number of fans from the Philippines, Singapore and even Russia flying to Macau for the fight."
The adviser "it will give many fans a chance to see Manny."

"I am very happy. It is like a dream!" said a delighted Schuttert, 22.
It was not an easy task for the course designer Bob Ellis, who will draw the course at the Olympics in a few days, with a number of inexperienced couples at this level starting - among them, Schuttert.
After winning his first Grand Prix in Copenhagen at the end of May, the Dutchman came first in Hickstead associated to Cerona HS, in front of the champion Ludger Beerbaum who rode the beautiful Chiara.
Beerbaum said he was very happy to be back to this show he loves, after being unable to compete in the past few years due to a very busy calendar, and was satisfied with the result, saying: "I am really pleased with second place.
"I have been riding this mare for only a few months, and we are not perfectly connected yet, but she showed she has the potential to shine at this level.
"Hendrick was the better man today and he diserved to win." French rider Marie Hecart and Myself de Breve came third in front of another lady rider, Louise Pavitt.
In front of her supporters, the Brit signed a beautiful double clear round in the Grand Prix with Don VHP Z, a stallion aged only eight years. With all eyes now on the Olympics, young couples appear set to shine.

1. Related Invention
This invention is related to Serial No. 07/490,095, Filed Mar. 6, 1990, and entitled "Whisper Circuit For A Conference Call Bridge Including Talker Nulling And Method Therefore" by the same inventor.
2. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to digital domain conference calls via a telephone network and, in particular, to a circuit for removing one hundred percent of the talker's speech component from the conferencing bridge speech data output prior to transmission back to the talker when the signal is represented in the pulse code modulation (PCM) digital domain.
A problem exists in present conference calls on the telephone network wherein an echo is heard by a talker when a large number of talkers are summed together. A number of approaches are available for minimizing the echo that a talker hears when talking such as half duplexing circuitry, voice activated switching, and the like. Despite the existence of several solutions to the problem, a need exists for a circuit for use in the digital domain that eliminates one hundred percent of the talker's speech component during transmission back to the ears of a talker in a conference call.
The present invention provides a solution to the above problem by providing a circuit designed to remove the digitized speech of any one of a plurality of talkers being summed together at the conferencing bridge. The talker's speech component is one hundred percent removed before delivery back to the ears of the talker. This process occurs without speech distortion.
The present invention sets forth a circuit for individually nulling each talker's speech in a conference call having a plurality of parties who are selectively talkers and listeners on a PCM telephone system. The parties are interconnected on PCM telephone carrier lines which are connected to a digitized conference bridge The circuit of the present invention has a summation circuit for adding together all of the speech data on the PCM telephone carrier lines occurring in the conference call during a particular time slot. The circuit of the present invention also utilizes a circuit for delaying the speech of each individual talker. Finally, the circuit of the present invention utilizes a subtraction circuit for subtracting the delayed speech of each individual talker from the summation of all speech for delivery back to the ears of the individual talker. The delaying circuit precisely delays the speech of each individual talker so as to correspond in timing with the output of the summation circuit. The present invention fully deletes the individual talker speech so as to totally eliminate echo and the timing is such so as to eliminate distortion.
FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram of the present invention showing the summation circuit, the delay lines, and the subtraction circuits;
FIG. 2 is a prior art representation of PCM companded data in CEPT format;
FIG. 3 is a prior art representation of PCM companded data in T1 format;
FIG. 4 sets forth in block diagram the format for the contents of the summation circuit of the present invention;
FIG. 5 sets forth the timing of the PCM and linear speech data as it flows through the summation circuit;
FIG. 6 sets forth the timing between the delay line and subtraction circuit of the present invention;
FIG. 7 sets forth a first example of four parties on a conference call with each party talking;
FIG. 8 sets forth a second example of four parties on a conference call with three parties talking; and
FIG. 9 sets forth the block diagram details of the subtraction circuit of the present invention.
FIG. 1 sets forth the block diagram representation of the nulling circuit of the present invention 10. The nulling circuit 10 is connected to conventional lines 5 wherein each line contains a number of talkers (such as 1-i on line 1) for a total of n talkers on the conference call involving n parties. For example, in FIG. 2, the CEPT (Conference Europeanen des Administrations des Postes et des Telecommunications) standard for digitized speech transmission on the telephone network is set forth. The CEPT Standard utilizes 32 time slots at a frequency of 2.048 Mb per second. Two of the CEPT time slots are not used for speech data. Each CEPT speech data time slot contains eight bits of speech data. Likewise, in FIG. 3, the T1 carrier standard in the United States is set forth to show 24 time slots at a frequency of 1.544 Mb per second wherein each time slot comprises eight bits of speech data.
With reference back to FIG. 1, in the preferred invention, k=4 since four PCM telephone carrier lines 5 are utilized. Under the CEPT standard (also termed "PCM 30"), the total number of parties would be 120 and under the T1 standard, the total number of parties would be 96. It is to be expressly understood that the present invention is not limited with respect to the value of k (i.e., the number of lines) or to the number of parties (i.e., the value of n).
The output of the nulling circuit 10 of the present invention is the transmitted digitized speech bridge output 30 which comprises the bridge output for the conference call, and which is delivered to the individual parties who listen to the speech output.
Within the nulling circuit 10 exists a μ-Law (or A-Law PCM) summation circuit 40, digital delay lines 50, and μ-Law (or A-Law) PCM subtraction circuits 60.
The μ-Law (or A-Law) summation circuit 40 simply sums the conversations of all the parties who are talking (i.e., the talkers) on lines 1-k for delivery as the bridge output to all of the conference call parties except to the listener who is also the talker. For example, if a talker is listening to the conversation, he hears all speech on line 20 except his own since his version of the conversation appearing on line 20 is delivered through a subtraction circuit 60 and over line 30 to him.
Hence, digital delay lines 50 are interconnected to lines 1-k. The output of each delay line 54 is delivered to a μ-Law (or A-Law) PCM subtraction circuit 60. Each subtraction circuit 60 receives the digitized speech data appearing on line 20 as well as the individual talker's delayed speech data appearing on line 54 and outputs the transmitted digitized speech data less the talker's speech data on lines 30. Each subtraction circuit 60 is further controlled by a talk slot grant (TSG) signal which corresponds to each individual talker 1-n.
The talk slot grant signals (TSGn) are conventionally generated in conference calls. In FIG. 1, the parties on line 5 are talkers as determined by the algorithms used in the bridge to generate the TSGs. For example, such algorithms may conventionally include VOX, gain compensation, and/or a computer algorithm. For example, in a conference call of 20 parties, three parties could be talking. Each of these three talkers would have speech data appearing on lines 5 and each would have their respective TSGs activated. However, all 20 parties are listeners on lines 30 and would hear the conversation. The three talkers would have their individual speech subtracted since their corresponding TSGs are activated. The remaining parties would simply have the sum of all speech on line 20 delivered through the subtraction circuits 60 unaffected.
It can be readily appreciated upon reviewing FIG. 1 that for any talker 1-n, that his individual speech data will be delayed by a digital delay line 50 sufficiently long enough so that as the summation circuit 40 delivers the summation of all speech data in the conference call on output 20. The subtraction circuit 60 functions to fully subtract (100% subtract) out the individual talker's speech data when the speech is delivered back into the ears of the talker as a listener. Only the talker's individual speech data is subtracted out since all other talkers must hear the other conversations successfully. By subtracting out the individual talker's speech as it is returned to the talker's ear as a listener, echo is fully eliminated as well as fully eliminating distortion thereby creating a high quality sound for the conference call conversation to the individual talker.
It is to be expressly understood that a delay line 50 and a subtraction circuit 60 is provided for each line 5 and that in the present invention K delay lines 50 and subtraction circuits 60 are provided for n talkers.
In FIG. 4, the details of the summation circuit 40 are shown. The summation circuit 40 includes a PCM to linear converter 400, a 16 bit (2's compliment) adder 410 and a linear to PCM converter 420. The PCM to linear converter 400 comprises a conventional 65536 byte EPROM look-up table. As mentioned, in the preferred embodiment, four telephone carrier lines are input to the summation circuit 40. The preferred embodiment, however, is not limited to four lines. The digitized speech data on lines 1-4 is in either μ-Law or A-Law PCM format as is the sum of all speech data on line 20.
The PCM to linear converter 400 delivers its output over lines 402 to the 16 bit 2's compliment adder 410 whose single output 412 is delivered to the linear to PCM converter 420 for outputting the sum of all speech data on line 20.
In the preferred embodiment, the PCM to linear converter is a 65536 byte EPROM based look-up table. The 16 bit adder 410 is a conventional multistage adder implemented in two 4-bit adders with carry/borrow stored for adding the high order 8 bits in the successive stage. For example, the adder can be of the type as the conventionally available 74 HCT-283. The linear to PCM converter 420 is also a standard 65536 byte EPROM based look-up table.
The summation circuit 40 operates according to the illustration in FIG. 5. In FIG. 5, the four lines 1-4 are shown having talk slot TSO dedicated to four separate talkers/listeners; for example, parties A, B, C, and D. As mentioned, each time slot is eight bits wide and the data corresponding to the speech (if the person is talking) is coded according to conventional μ-law or A-law companded PCM encoded data. The PCM to linear converter converts the PCM encoded data into a linear code which in the preferred embodiment is 2's compliment form and sixteen bits wide. The 2s compliment form is used to express the positive and negative excursions of the represented analog wave form of the speech. The linear code for the speech data digitally corresponds to the actual analog value of the speech of individuals A, B, C, or D. If a party is not talking the value would be zero. The PCM to linear converter 400 is simply a standard look-up table wherein the eight bit companded PCM data is used as an address to look up the corresponding 16 bit 2's compliment form linear code. The data in linear code is a true digital representation of the speech from the individual speaker.
The sixteen bit adder 410 is a fixed state machine which adds the four linear encoded speech data values for individuals A, B, C, and D in time slot TSO. The resulting linear output from adder 410 is delivered on line 412 and is a sixteen bit data word in twos compliment form. The linear to PCM converter 420 converts the format of the 16 bit linear sum of all speech data back into PCM format--again through a table look-up. The μ-law encoding format is used for the T1 carriers whereas the A-law encoding format is used for CEPT carriers.
At this point in the operation of the present invention, it is clear that the summation circuit 40 is capable of adding together all talker speech data existing in each time slot by first converting the PCM speech data to linear speech data on lines 402, then adding the individual talker signals in each time slot together in the sixteen bit adder 410 which outputs a single summation signal on line 412 for each time slot for conversion from linear format back to PCM format on line 20. The output on line 20 is the summation of all sound (from talkers background noise, transmission noise, etc.) and exists as eight bit PCM speech data.
It is to be understood that the data field widths are by way of example and that the present invention is not to be limited to such data fields.
In FIG. 6, the details of the delay line circuits 50 and the subtraction circuits 60 are shown. As discussed with respect to FIGS. 4 and 5, the output 20 from the summation circuit 40 is the summation of all speech data for lines 5 in a common time slot which, in FIGS. 4 and 5, is shown to be talk slot TS0. This is the signal (A+B+C+D for TS0) appearing on line 20 of FIG. 6 for delivery to the parties of the conference call. This signal, of necessity, due to the inherent processing delays in the summation circuit 40, is delayed from the original PCM signals on lines 5 (lines 1-4 carrying A, B, C, D for TS0) which are also shown in FIG. 6 as the inputs to the delay line circuits 50.
Hence, as shown in FIG. 6, delta T represents the time difference between the time T2 for the summed signal on line 20 for time slot TS0 (A+B+C+D) and the time T1 for the imputing of TS0 signals A, B, C, and D appearing on lines 1-4. The delay line circuit 50 is designed to delay the speech data on lines 1-4 by the amount of delta T. In the above example, this time delay is 125 microseconds. The value of delta T would include any switch delays incurred as a result of signal routing and connection within the system. It is to be understood that the delta T time is by way of an example and the present invention is not limited to this delay. A number of conventional delay circuits could be utilized and in the present invention the speech data is delivered through a tapped delay line with taps at integer 125 microsecond intervals.
As shown in FIG. 6 by timing line T2, the delayed A, B, C and D TSO speech data on lines 5 is aligned with the A+B+C+D TSO summation speech data on lines 20. Delta T is simply the difference between time T1 and time T2. The delay circuit 50, therefore, precisely matches the timing of the speech data for each individual talker A through D with the summed A+B+C+D speech data.
Each subtract circuit 60 receives the TSO speech data for A+B+C+D over line 20 as well as each delayed individual talker speech data A, B, C, and D over lines 54. Each individual subtract circuit 60 is enabled to perform subtraction through selective activation of the talk slot grant signal (TSG).
For example, assume all four talkers A, B, C, and D, are talking. The TSG for each subtract circuit 60 would be properly activated to authorize subtraction. In reference to FIG. 7, assume all four parties to a conference call (A, B, C, and D) are talkers and have their TSG activated (i.e., a "1" status) so that they are all talking on a conference call. The subtract circuit 60 operates to subtract each talker's speech data from the sum A+B+C+D so that the talker, as a listener, hears the other partys' speech but not his own. This occurs at time T3 (shown in FIG. 6) which is later than time T2 because of the necessary delays incurred by the subtract circuit 60. For this example, these reference times are:
T2=125 Microseconds
T3=250 Microseconds
FIG. 7 shows the resulting speech being delivered to each listener A, B, C, and D for TSO. Hence, listener A hears B+C+D.
FIG. 8 illustrates a second example involving a conference call with four parties: A, B, C, and D. All parties, of course, are listeners. However, in this example, only parties A, B, and D are talkers. Hence, TSGs for A, B, and D are activated for subtraction whereas C is not activated. Talker A (who also listens to the conversation) receives conversation from B and D. Talker C receives conversation from A, B, and D (of course C is not talking and the actual conversation is from A+B+D). The selective activation of TSG enables the subtraction in circuit 60 to occur.
Exemplary data values for the example of FIG. 8 appears in the following two tables with talkers A, B and D and are the hexadecimal input speech values of 66, 35 and D6 respectively:
TABLE I______________________________________SUMMATION CIRCUIT 40(Data Values are in Hexadecimal)TSOμ-Law PCM Input Linear Code μ-Law PCMTalker Speech Data S Lines 402 Line 412 Line 20______________________________________A 66 0B1F 624 59B AA FF40 624 59C 35 0137 624 59D D6 FA81 624 59______________________________________

In FIG. 9, the details of the subtraction circuit 60 are set forth. The subtraction circuit 60 is connected to receive the summed speech data for TSO (A+B+C+D) on line 20. This PCM data is the sum of all speech appearing for the conference call during a respective time slot. The subtraction circuit 60 also receives the delayed individual talker speech data which in the example of FIG. 7 is talker A at time slot TSO. As in the case of FIG. 9, the PCM subtractor is a 131072 byte table look-up device (such as a 27C010 EPROM) that allows the appropriate incoming companded PCM data to be converted into a thirteen bit linear code which truly represents the analog value of the speech component. The linearized PCM at 54 is subtracted from the linearized PCM of 20 and the result is converted back into an 8 bit PCM companded signal for delivery to the listener 30.
It is to be expressly understood that the present invention is not limited to talkers A, B, C, or D as shown in FIG. 7 or even the examle shown in FIG. 8. These examples are illustrations. In conference calls, any number of parties can be interconnected and the present invention allows that number to be larger up to, for example, 128 parties. The present invention effectively provides talker nulling to each individual talker thereby eliminating echo and distortion. This is a one hundred percent elimination of echo.
The method of the present invention is adapted for nulling each talker's speech in a conference call wherein the conference call comprises a number of parties who are selectively talkers and listeners. In a typical telephony environment, PCM telephone carrier lines according to CEPT or T1 standard are utilized and are connected to a digital conference bridge.
According to the method of the present invention, the PCM companded speech data from each of the parties who is talking is summed together by first converting the PCM companded speech from each talking party from PCM format to linear format. The linear speech data from each talking party is then added together and converted back into a PCM format. Additionally, the companded speech data from each talking party is delayed by an amount precisely necessary to complete the full summation of the speech data together as discussed above. The delayed companded speech data from each individual talker is then subtracted from the summed speech by first converting both the delayed speech and the summed speech from PCM format to linear format, subtracting the delayed speech (now in linear format) from the summed speech (now in linear format) and converting the difference between the two back into PCM format. The summed PCM speech data is then delivered to all other parties on the conference call while the speech data representing the difference is delivered to the individual speaker.
It is to be expressly understood that the claimed invention is not to be limited to the description of the preferred embodiment but encompasses other modifications and alterations within the scope and spirit of the inventive concept.

The Haunted Hearse
Drac Von Stoller
Copyright 2011 by: Drac Von Stoller
Business as usual down at Dracs Funeral Home and Cemetery so they say but there was one thing wrong with this picture Dracs Funeral Home and Cemetery hasn't been in operation since old man Wethers Funeral Home and Cemetery was shut down because a brand new funeral home and cemetery was built across the street from Dracs Funeral Home and cemetery.
People would make fun of Dracs Funeral Home because it was small and musty inside and the cemetery wasn't well kept either. This really made old man Wethers upset so the old man was forced to shut the funeral home down. Dracs Funeral Home was the only one in town so there was no other funeral home to bury their loved ones.
One day when old man Wethers was cleaning one of the tombstones at Dracs Funeral Home a hearse came speeding by and ran right over old man Wethers killing him instantly. Old man Wethers didn't stand a chance at avoiding the situation. The police never caught the killer because there were no eye witnesses and all that was left at the scene were tire tracks and no vehicle.
The town was so small that they didn't have a crime scene lab that could do DNA testing and the town only had a deputy and a sheriff. When anyone drove by Dracs boarded up funeral home at night they would see a light shining through the boards and a hearse with a ghostly figure driving the hearse. The ghost of old man Wethers would drive across the street after midnight and dig up coffins at the new funeral home that put him out of business and bring them back across the street to be buried at Dracs Funeral Home and Cemetery that hasn't been in operation for over twenty years.
