My singles of 2006
25 Jan 2007, 00:20 by astrolabe1976The Cure And The Cause One of the most hypnotic vocal house tracks I've heard in years. A bit like Ericka Badu discovering deep house. Mysterious, swirling, captivating. Amazing.
Sugar(Paper Faces Mix) Ah, Stuart Price, the hardest working man in Dance music. He remixed everyone and their mother, on top of being Madonna's musical director for her Confessions Tour. He takes Armand's pedestrian dance-rock anthem to a sexy electronic romp that has a great synth hook.
SorryWow, Stuart Price again. I must say Stu's mix style can be quite obvious, with you often thinking he's just trying to re-arrange yet another New Order song that you've never heard before. His reinterpretation of his own production with Madonna is a great synthy dance number, cranking up the vocoder in the mix higher than it was on the album.
Talk (Jacques Lu Cont Mix)This is the last Stuart Price production. I promise. This is by far the most stunning/radical reconstruction of the list, yet its highly reverent to the original. …

Just a few songs I'm feeling right now
8 Apr 2006, 16:15 by MityaCharts are great and all, but sometimes the numbers don't convey how you're really feeling about the music. Not much to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon, so I thought I'd tip my hat to a few things I've been listening to lately:
Nature's Law was tipped as another one of those "plodding indie guitar band somehow comes up with brilliant pop song" (see Dakota from last year). The first time I listened to it, I heard nothing, just the standard-issue Coldplay emoting. But the second time... The second time was like the ground had opened up and I just fell and fell and fell.
Scruffy the Cat is an old sentimental favorite of mine. I think I discovered them while I was still in high school, while I was rooting around in the library of the radio station. But their first album, Tiny Days, was all I ever listened to. Somehow I ran across their Boom Boom Boom Bingo EP earlier this week and lo! and behold, it's great, especially Blue Russian.

How to Get Back to the Home Screen on an iPhone With a Broken Button
The simplicity of the iPhone's interface can lead to problems. If the "Home" button on your iPhone breaks, for example, you can no longer access the device's home screen; once you open an app, you're stuck inside it until you reboot the iPhone. While rebooting your phone does take you back to the home screen, it's time-consuming. To get back to the home screen faster, use the iPhone's Emergency Call feature in combination with a passcode. Use this technique to re-access the home screen from any application.
Step 1
Press and hold the power button on the iPhone until the "Slide to power off" screen appears. Slide the red arrow to the right to turn off the iPhone. Press the power button again to turn the device back on.
Step 2
Tap the "Settings" icon. Tap "General," then "Passcode Lock."
Step 3
Type in a passcode using the numeric keypad. Type the code again on the next screen.
Step 4
Press and release the power button. Slide the "Slide to unlock" slider to the right.
Step 5
Tap the "Emergency Call" button. Tap the left arrow icon to cancel the emergency call and return to the passcode screen.
Step 6
Enter the passcode. The iPhone opens the home screen.
Tips & Warnings
- If your iPhone already has a passcode set, use that passcode instead of setting a new one.
- Be extremely careful not to press any other buttons on the Emergency Call screen.

The present invention relates to signal readback in signal recording systems and particularly to apparatus and methods for enhancing the detection by adjusting detection thresholds.
1. Background of the Invention
In optical recording, such as magnetooptical recording, greatly enhanced lineal data densities can be achieved by using pulse width modulation (PWM) for recording data on an optical medium. A very precise threshold detection is required because of the small tolerances for error in such recording. A consistently reliable amplitude detection threshold is difficult to derive from the input signal because the baseline of such input or readback signal varies with time. Such variations can be caused by birefringence, or non uniformities in the optical medium. Known techniques such as signal envelope following suffer from heavy dependence on equalization techniques. Such techniques also have a sensitivity to mark formation problems (blooming, miscalibrated writing due to medium sensitivity shifts with time as found in magnetooptic recording, and media nonuniformities). These factors significantly reduce the attractiveness of amplitude threshold detection because the low signal to noise ratio tends to prevent effective compensation of these factors. Media sensitivity shift with time (SST) is particularly bothersome because it causes the edge of the written pulse to move along the length of the track thereby give a false transition position. Such variations may cause a direct reduction in the size of the detection window for detecting the edge of the pulse, as is necessary in PWM. Signals recorded at an inappropriate power level, as can happen with optical media subject to SST, shifts the recording characteristics which induce additional possible readback errors.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
U.S. Pat. No. 4,580,176 describes an adaptive equalization system using phase error feedback for continuously adjusting the equalization of a read channel used in magnetic recording. In clear contradistinction to the teaching of this patent, the present invention feeds back the phase error of a phase lock loop (PLL) for adjusting the analog amplitude detection threshold of a readback channel.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,483,539 describes a circuit interposed between a read detector and a phase lock loop (PLL) for compensating or correcting for baseline shift in the detection of a readback signal from a magnetic record medium. This patent does not suggest how to correct for shifts in the pulse edges of a data stream all of which could have a timed offset with respect to the PLL applied timing pulses. In clear contradistinction to the teaching of this patent, the present invention automatically adjusts the amplitude detection threshold based upon the phase error between the readback signal and PLL timing pulses.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatically-adjusted amplitude-detection threshold which is adjusted for increasing the accuracy of detection timing.
In accordance with the present invention, a readback system of a signal recorder includes a timing means, such as a phase lock loop, slaved to the input signal for generating timing pulses used in detecting the data carried by the readback signal. Phase errors detected between the timing of the readback signal pulse edges and the timing pulses are fedback to adjust the amplitude detection threshold for reducing these phase errors. Such adjustments, based upon clocking phase errors with respect to the readback signal, minimize the clock phase corrections directly and also maximizes the probability of faithful detection of data carried in the readback signal.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a simplified block-schematic diagram of a optical record player incorporating the teachings of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a set of idealized signal readback waveforms and timing pulses used to describe how the FIG. 1 illustrated recorder/player embodies the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows simplified idealized signal waveforms for illustrating timing considerations in practicing the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a schematic of gate logic 30 used in connection with the FIG. 3 illustrated waveforms.
A magnetooptic rotatable disk 10 is suitably supported for rotation by a motor 11 on a frame (not shown). In the FIG. 1 illustrated optical device, a pick-up mechanism 12 is in optical cooperative relationship with the recording surface of disk 10 for optically sensing signals recorded thereon. Pick-up 12 can also include electronic amplifiers for amplifying the sensed signals. The FIG. 1 illustrated device can also include apparatus for recording signals on disk 10. The recording on disk 10 is preferably of a pulse width modulated (PWM) type in which the duration of a pulse is indicative of the information carried by the recorded signal. In contrast, pulse position modulation carries information by a presence or absence of a pulse at a given position on the disk 10 or occurring at a given detection time, also referred to as transition position, which represents one bit of information. A PWM pulse can represent any one of a plurality of informational values, i.e., the number 0-4 or 2-7 depending upon the design of the system. The present invention is most advantageously employed with PWM recording in that the marks or recorded pulses are some integral number of clock cycles in duration. According to the invention, when the recorded marks or pulses are consistently read as having too long a duration, an amplitude detection threshold is shifted to an increased or higher amplitude value which reduces the effective duration of the pulses for purposes of detection. The corollary to the above, in accordance with the present invention, when the recorded marks are read as having too short a duration, i.e., are less than a full integral multiple of clock cycles, then the amplitude threshold is reduced for effectively elongating the mark or pulse readback signals such that an integral number of clock cycles occur for the detection process. In one embodiment of the invention, a phase error in a phase lock loop (PLL) is measured and used for adjusting the amplitude threshold.
Such a PWM readback signal is supplied by pick-up 12 over electrical line 14 to threshold derivation circuit 15 as well as to one input of the switching comparator 17. Switching comparator 17 receives the threshold derived from the readback signal by circuit 15 through offset summing circuit 16, as later described. Switching comparator 17 supplies an output pulse transition over line 34 to pulser 18. Pulser 18 shapes the supplied transition of the signal from switching comparator 17 to a pulse which is used for operating the illustrated detection system. Data decoder 13 receives the synchronized data from phase lock loop (PLL) or data synchronizer 20. Data synchronizer 20 consists of a phase lock loop and a data synchronization circuit. Various forms of data synchronizers may be employed. In the present embodiment variable frequency oscillator (VFO) 22 is slaved to the operation of the readback signal on line 14. Pulser 18 supplies its output pulse to phase detector 24 which compares the timing signals of VFO 22 with the received pulses. Depending upon the detected phase error, detector 24 supplies a negative or a positive signal respectively over lines 32 and 33 to PLL charge pump 25. PLL charge pump 25 is constructed in a usual manner for supplying a frequency changing signal through filter 26 to VFO 22. Switch 23, the above mentioned data synchronization circuit, receives the pulses from pulser 18 for retiming the pulses to synchronize the timing of the data pulses to the VFO 22 which are then supplied to data decoder 13 in timed relationship to the clock or VFO 22. Data decoder 13 is also connected to VFO 22 for synchronizing its operations to the synchronized data from switch 23.
The adjustment of the derived threshold by circuit 15 is achieved in summing circuit 16. The phase errors of VFO 22 operation with respect to the received data pulses from pulser 18 are supplied by phase detector 24 to gate logic 30 respectively over lines 32 and 33. The transitions detected by comparator 17 are also supplied over line 34 to gate logic 30. Gate logic 30 is constructed as described below in Boolean equations. Such gating logic design depends in part on the design of phase detector 24 and the relative timing involved in the operation of the device. Such design is readily achieved by following the Boolean expressions. The term CU and CD represent signals occurring after the detected edge has occurred and respectively indicate a threshold crossing by the readback signal in the upper direction, i.e. the leading edge, or in the downward direction, i.e. trailing edge, as shown in FIG. 2 for readback signal 51. The term D means the value of the data from comparator 17; D' indicates a binary zero while a D indicates a binary one. The term DCU means the signal on line 36 while DCD means the signal on line 36. The Boolean expressions are:
Charge pump 38 responds to the up and down indication signals on line 36 and 37 and is constructed like a PLL charge pump 25. Filter 39 is comparable to filter 26. Charge pump 38 supplies a offset signal through filter 39 to sum circuit 16 which adds or subtracts to the derived threshold value supplied by circuit 15 thereby adjusting the amplitude detection threshold supplied to switching comparator 17. A squelch circuit 40 is inserted for selectively squelching the offset and may be desired in some operations. Derivation of detection thresholds from input signals is well known and not further described here except that integration or signal averaging envelope detection may be used as well as other detection systems, such as mean or average amplitudes between peak values. The derived threshold may also be held constant after the feedback loop, which adjusts the amplitude threshold, is turned on (via deactivation of the squelch circuit 40).
Referring now more particularly to FIG. 2 the operation of the FIG. 1 illustrated circuit is described in more detail. Numeral 50 denotes centers of clock periods in the PWM environment. Line 14 readback signal 51 is shown as having the value A at a relatively positive excursion and a value A' when relatively negative. A desired detection threshold 52 is shown with the location of the detection threshold 52 with respect to the readback waveform 51 is such that the readback waveform 51 amplitude equals detection threshold 52 near the clock centers. Numeral 53 denotes an amplitude detection threshold supplied to switching comparator 17 that has too high a threshold for the readback signal 51 and therefore detects a pulse duration of signal 51 that is too short; see pulses 65 and 66 which occur on lines 32 and 33 respectively which produce pulses 72 and 73 respectively on line 37. In a similar manner, numeral 54 denotes a amplitude detection threshold supplied to switching comparator 17 which has too low an amplitude value resulting in detection of the pulses 61 and 63 which produce pulses 70 and 71 respectively on line 36.
It is seen that the pulses 61, 63, 65 and 66 on signals 60 and 62 respectively represent jitter in the readback system. Such jitter can cause erroneous data synchronization by data synchronizer 20 resulting in erroneous data being sent to data decoder 13. To compensate for such jitter based upon the phase errors, pulses 70 and 71 on DCU line 36 (for the threshold 54 case) and pulses 72 and 73 on DCU line 37 (for the threshold 53 case) are supplied to charge pump 38 for changing its output signal in a known manner through filter 39 for changing the amplitude threshold supplied by offset summer 16 toward the desired amplitude detection threshold 52. Note that the intersection of desired amplitude threshold 52 with the readback signal 51, both on the leading and trailing edges, occurs at a respective one of the clock centers 50.
Desired data output signal 74 is derived from detection threshold 52. When the detection threshold is at too high a threshold, such as threshold 53, output data signal 75 is produced. Similarly, too low detection threshold 54 produces data output signal 76. Detection using the present invention reliably produces data output signal 74.
Another advantage of using the present invention in generating the offset of the amplitude detection threshold by charge pump 38 based on phase error feedback is that the offset value is a signal indicating media or disk 10 nonuniformities and sensitivity shift with time. Such values can be digitized for processing. It is preferred that such offset values be taken from line 41.
As an alternative to the design shown in FIG. 1, a detection threshold can be derived from the phase detector feedback without the use of any conventional or prior art threshold variations as provided through offset summer 16. Another alternative is to use a phase detector (not shown) separate from the PLL (though using the VFO clock line). Also, any type of charge up or charge down integrator may be used instead of a charge pump, followed by a loop filter as is presently practiced and shown in the present application. It is to be remembered that the phase error feedback for adjusting the amplitude detection threshold or for generating an amplitude detection threshold automatically compensates for variations in readback signals derived from magnetooptic media which has been sensitivity shifted with time.
Referring next to FIG. 3, the signal timing aspects in practicing the present invention are described. The signal 51A corresponds generally to signal 51 of FIG. 2. Threshold positions 52, 53 and 54 are the same as in FIG. 2. The desired output data signal 74 corresponds to signal 51A crossing threshold 52 as desired resulting in transitions 87 and 88 in the data pulse aligned with signal 51A crossing the detection threshold at the desired threshold position 52. The produced signals from detection are collectively represented by signal 80, i.e. the signals on lines 32, 33, 36 and 37 (FIG. 1) are in substantial time coincidence a short predetermined time after transition 87. If the baseline has shifted downwardly, the threshold position 54 represents the effect of the detection threshold. When signal 51A exceeds the downwardly baseline shifted detection threshold (detects transition 87 too early) as at vertical line 85 and the downward crossing is detected too late, as represented by vertical dashed line 90. The resultant data signal (not shown) corresponds to the positions of the two pulses of signal 82. The signals on lines 32, 33, 36 and 37 are substantially time coincident as represented by signal 82 producing a data D signal which is too long. The invention causes the detection threshold to be raised until the detection threshold is in the correct relationship with the incoming data. Similarly, when the baseline has shifted to a higher amplitude, then threshold position 53 occurs resulting in a too-short data pulse as represented by the signal 81 having pulses time displaced from vertical lines 89 and 86 causing the data signal to be too short as represented by the spacing between the two pulses in signal 81. Again, the present invention causes the threshold to be lowered until the detection threshold is in the correct relationship with the incoming data.
The phase correction equations for the above-described operation are:
These equations can be solved by an electronic double-pole double=throw switch 100 as shown in FIG. 4. This circuit represents one constructed implementation of the present invention. The numerals used in FIG. 4 correspond to the FIG. 1 enumeration and description. The pulse on line 34 actuates the switch between its two positions to solve the equations (3) and (4) as can be readily determined by examination. Switch 100 while set as illustrated in FIG. 4 represents a datum value of "0" in the read back signal. As such this position of switch 100 solves the second terms (the terms having D' or a binary 0 datum value) of equations (3) and (4). When switch 100 is set to connect line 33 to lines 36 and 37, switch 100 solves the first terms (terms with D or a datum value of binary 1) of equations (3) and (4). Therefore, switch 100 in the illustrated or up position represents a datum value of "0". The down position of switch 100 corresponds to a datum value of "1". Ignoring the timing of switch 100, equations (1) and (2) are solved for determining the elapsed time between the leading transition 87 (FIG. 3) and the trailing transition 88 of the read back signal 51A. That is, the time difference between DCU and DCD indicate the position of the detection threshold as being at either of the three illustrated positions 52-54 of FIG. 3. Charge pump 38 responds to the supplied signals on lines 36 and 37 in accordance with the elapsed time between DCU and DCD to alter the amplitude detection threshold. That is, charge pump 38 supplies its output current to filter 39 for integration, thereby performing an integrative function of detecting shift of the baseline determined amplitude detection threshold. While signal 74 (FIG. 3) is positive, charge pump supplies a first polarity signal (i.e. like charge pump 25 supplies a first polarity charge while there is a phase lag) and while signal 74 is not positive, an opposite polarity charge signal is supplied by charge pump 38. The time difference between desired duration of signal 74 positive signal excursion and the measured duration of the positive signal excursion is integrated for providing the amplitude threshold adjustment signal to summer 16. This integrative function is performed by the combination of charge pump 38 and filter 39 is identical to the integrative function performed by charge pump 25 and filter 26 of PLL 20, as referred to above. This action is illustrated by examining equations (1) and (2). Equation (1) represents the logic action when a binary "1" datum value is in read back signal, i.e. D occurs after transition 87 and D' (binary 0) occurs after transition 88. Similarly, equation (2) represents the logic action when a binary "0" datum value is in the read back signal. The CU portion (equation 2)(signal value after transition 87) is D' or binary 0 while the CD portion of (2) after transition 88 is D or binary 1. Note that FIG. 3 shows the binary 1 or D value for CU. The binary 0 signal is a negative going signal 51A rather than a positive going signal as shown in FIG. 3. In all other respects, the operations are identical. Of course, the polarity of signal 74 is reversed. Therefore, equations (1) through (4) represent adjusting, in accordance with the present invention, the amplitude threshold for either binary 1 or 0 signal values in the read back signal.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

I'm not 'advertising', I just need feedback before making a decision on what exactly I am going to do.
I am planning on moving and making some pretty extreme changes in the next year or so. I need to brush up on my education and am going to be taking classes and saving all that I can for the move.
I have a horse, that I know I probably will not be able to take with me. The expense of moving across country, added to the stresses of having a horse right now just do not make sense. You see ads online for 'cheap' horses all the time. The thought seems to be, if you are asking for a small amount of $, you might have a chance of getting a better home than if you advertised as free.
I have never gone right out and advertised a horse for free. The last time I gave away a horse, it was to a relative. So aside from on the giveaways here, where else would be a good place to advertise a horse for free? Or free lease? What's the best way to screen potential new owners? A friend was interested in her but it's been a few weeks since I told her I'd give her away so I'm not sure that she's really interested, and I don't want to keep asking so I'm going to go ahead and figure something else out.
Horse is sound but has hi/lo in front so she requires a good farrier and fitted saddle. Not an easy sale, much less giveaway. And if I do decide to keep her, what is the going rate, per mile, for transport? I've checked out a few of the transport sites and when I put in my info and "where to" I got a phone call early one morning seeing if I was still looking to move the horse. I wasn't awake and wasn't completely alert and I said no and got the butt chewing of a life over having an ad up that I didn't really need. :rolleyes: All I really want is an approximate cost to see how much it would cost to move a horse about 900 miles.
Thanks for reading/suggestions!

Sous Vide Beef Heart Tart
Give your Valentine your heart (tart) this year. It'll be the tastiest V-day ever.
Makes two 7" Tarts
Cook time: 24 Hours Sous Vide
- ½ Beef Heart - Trimmed and Cubed (about 2.5lbs)
- 5 Sprigs Rosemary
- 10 oz. Pearl Onions
- 1 Tbsp Tomato Paste
- 8 oz Frozen Peas
- 8 oz Frozen Carrots
- 1 print Mushrooms - Mixed
- 2 cup Beef Heart Jus (from cook)
- 3 tsp Wondra Flour (AP is fine if unavailable)
- 1 package Phyllo Dough - Defrosted According to Package
- ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tbsp Kosher Salt
Omnivore Salt to Taste
- Parsley as Garnish
- Set up Nomiku water bath and turn temperature to 79ºC (174.2ºF).
- Using a filet knife, trim the fat, papillary muscle, valves, and connective tissues from the beef heart. The goal is to end up with beautiful lean meat. Cube the cleaned heart.
- Put the cubed heart in a bag and add extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, and rosemary. Seal with a vacuum sealer or with the water displacement method using a freezer-safe zip bag. Sous vide for 24 hours.
- Move frozen phyllo dough to the refrigerator to defrost.
- An hour before serving, prepare phyllo crust and filling. Pre-heat oven to 350ºF. Melt half a stick of butter in a small bowl for the crust. Get two 7" springform pans (or 4 smaller ramekins). With a brush, start buttering each separate sheet of phyllo and cover the bottom and sides of the pans. It's ok to scrunch them for a more rustic look — phyllo is very forgiving. Repeat 5x. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until brown.
- Remove beef heart from water bath, remove rosemary, and strain the heart jus. There should be 2 cups of jus, if not, add water. Whisk 3 tsp Wondra flour into the jus.
- In a cast iron over medium-high heat, melt the other ½ stick of butter. Brown the pearl onions and mushrooms. Add in carrots and peas and warm through. Pour in the heart jus and tomato paste. Stir until everything is coated. Turn off heat.
- Once the heat is off, mix in cubed heart until it is fully incorporated. Season with Omnivore Salt to taste.
- Spoon into phyllo crust and serve immediately.
- If you'd like to include some little phyllo dough hearts like we did, you can buy a heart mold from Daiso!

A new book Dictators' Dinners: A Bad Taste Guide to Entertaining Tyrants by Victoria Clark and Melissa Scott offers a surprising taste of the favorite foods of some of the world's most infamous dictators.
Though Adolf Hitler was thought to have been a vegetarian—something that was apparently confirmed by der fuhrer's food taster—it appears old Adolf was a big fan of fledgling pigeon stuffed with tongue, liver and pistachio nuts. So he was more of a part-time vegetarian. Also let's not forget that Hitler donated a pint of his blood to make blood sausage to celebrate a Nazi last supper according to Robert G. L. Waite in his biography The Psychopathic God. Blood sausage aside, by the end of his life Hitler's table manners had gone to pot and he wolfed "down his food in a mechanical way…..bit his nails at table, and ran his index finger back and forth under his nose, and stuffed himself with cake."
Like all top Communists, Joseph Stalin liked to eat while others starved. It was all for the good of the cause, which in Stalin's case meant six hour banquets "where copious amounts of semi-sweet Khvanchkara wine were consumed, leaving guests puking and incontinent."
Stalin's love of epicurean excess did not go unnoticed as future commie leader and shoe-banger Nikita Khrushchev remarked:
'I don't think there has ever been a leader of comparable responsibilities who wasted more time than Stalin did just sitting around the dinner table eating and drinking.'
Uncle Joe's favorite chow was chicken with walnuts and spices. His chef Spiridon Putin was the grandfather of current Russian premier Vladimir Putin. Small world, eh?
Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini used to touch his balls every time he thought someone was giving him the evil eye. Il Duce loathed pasta and potatoes claiming they gave him a sore head, but he loved rough-chopped garlic with oil and lemon, which was no doubt a major duvet lifter come bedtime…
'He used to eat a whole bowl of it,' his wife Rachele once fondly confided to the family cook. 'I couldn't go anywhere near him after that. At night I'd leave him to sleep alone in our room and take refuge in one of the children's rooms!'
Fidel Castro was very fond of turtle soup, but as turtles are now an endangered species, Castro now only likes "plain" food such as lamb cutlets, salted cod, fried bananas and lobster. What no beans on toast?
It has often been claimed that President Idi Amin "Dada" was a cannibal, who enjoyed chowing down on the faces of his enemies. When asked by a reporter if this was true, Amin replied:
'I don't like human flesh –- it's too salty for me.'
Now you know. In fact, Amin's favorite food was apparently oranges—probably quenching all that human saltiness—and was said to eat up to 40 oranges a day, claiming the fruit kept him healthy and gave him the horn.
Another man of the people, Kim Jong Il had expensive tastes in food and sent his chef around the world in search of:
Iranian caviar, Danish pork,Thai mangoes and Japanese rice cakes flavoured with mugwort, at $120 a pop.
Big daddy Kim Jong also loved raw fish—basically fish that had just been pulled out the water and were thrashing about in their death throes. He also employed a woman to ensure his rice grains were exactly the same size. Talk about fussy eating…
His son Kim Jong-un apparently has a liking for Emmental cheese, which may or may not explain his alleged gout.
Libya's deposed dictator Muammar Gaddafi was well-known for his dreadful flatulence, often expelling loud smelly farts during interviews and meetings with dignitary. If only the old farter had known the cause of this noxious gas was his favorite food—camel's milk. Indeed, no part of this poor beast was allowed to go to waste, and Gaddafi especially enjoyed camel hump and couscous.
Saddam Hussein had a taste for only the best farm-fresh beef and lamb, which had to be trimmed of all its fat. He was also particular about his olives, which had to come from the Golan Heights. His favorite tipple was Grand Old Parr whisky and his favorite candy Quality Street.
Malawi's former dictator Hasting Banda liked "dried mopane worms" that is the caterpillar of the Emperor moth, which he ate as a snack like potato chips.
If you fancy learning how to eat like a dictator, then order your copy of Dictators' Dinners: A Bad Taste Guide to Entertaining Tyrants by Victoria Clark and Melissa Scott here.

text: RAM Memory Management & Troubleshooting Are you experiencing frequent crashes? Does loading an application seem to take forever? If the answer is yes then you've probably got a problem with your RAM (Random Access Memory). Here's a little guide on how to identify the problems, fix them and how to better manage your RAM. Background Info The iPod Touch and iPhone have 128MB SDRAM, which is the current standard for high-end smart phones. There is no memory swap facility to the larger storage solid state flash drives as their is a risk that continuous writing to the flash disks may damage them. N.b. solid state flash memory has a very long life span but each sector has a finite life measured in the number of times it is written to (currently in the 300,000 to 1,000,000 range), so all of your iPod Touch's operations and applications have to use this single 128MB stick of RAM. Jailbreak Free Apple Purist? If you are running an un-jailbroken device you shouldn't experience any major memory issues. Applications on the Appstore are prevented from running in the background, so Appstore applications only access RAM when they are open and this RAM is released again as soon as the application is closed. Only the stock Apple applications (phone, email, Safari etc.) and system processes have permission to run in the background. Thus an un-jailbroken iPod Touch should have a high level of memory stability. However if, for example, you've just opened 5 internet pages on Safari, have email 'push' turned on and try to run a graphic intensive game and receive an SMS it at the same time it's plausible you could experience a crash. If you do, simply free up the memory by either closing all applications running in the background (hold the home button for 6 seconds) or reboot/hard reboot your device (either power off as normal, or hold the power & home buttons until it powers off and release when you see the boot screen Apple logo). See the end of this post for some Appstore apps to help you manage your RAM. Jailbreak If you are jailbroken, it's highly likely that you will run into some memory issues sooner or later. You've probably already installed a number of cool little applications, themes and hacks from Cydia. Many of these may make use of 'daemons' or Springboard 'mobile substrate hooks' and so run in the background using up your precious RAM. Daemons block up RAM, constantly leech battery and processor power. Springboard mobile substrate hooks just use up RAM when they are in use. Daemons If possible, daemons should be avoided at all costs. Knowing which of your apps run daemons and how bad those daemons are is the main problem. First off, you can presume that anything and everything on your device that is either running, updating or providing information, while you are not actively using it, is using a daemon. Some of these are sleek and low profile and shouldn't be worried about at all, such as SSH, while others tend to be real hogs. Fortunately most developers have realised the extent of the negative effect of daemons and so choose to opt for the sleeker mobile substrate hook these days. There are several ways to check what daemons may be running at an given time. Using MobileTerminal The ps command 1. Install MobileTerminal from Cydia (it's on the Telesphoreo community source); 2. Open MobileTerminal and hold your iPod Touch in Landscape view to rotate the screen. Type in ps -A (case sensitive!) to list the processes currently running. You can scroll up and down the Terminal screen by swiping up and down on the right hand side of the screen. The output will look something like this: Please Register or Log in to view images n.b. Safe core processes (system daemons) are: launchd; mDNSResponder; notifyd; syslogd; configd; update; lockdownd; /usr/sbin/mediaserverd; /System/Library/PrivateFramworks/IAP.framework/IAP; fairplayd; /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app; CommCenter; /usr/sbin/BTServer If you have an iPhone you should also see /var/stash/Applications.xBZx31/MobilePhone.app running and you should all also see MobileTerminal running as /var/stash/Applications.xBZx31/Terminal.app. You may also see /var/stash/Applications.xBZx31/MobileMusicPlayer.app and /var/stash/Applications.xBZx31/MobileSafari.app running, though these can be closed and their memory freed up at anytime by restarting your device. The 'ttysxxx' data can be ignored. Any other processes are likely to be 3rd party daemons. e.g. as you can see, on my device I have /Applications/MxTube.app/MxT2d which is a daemon run by MxTube. Next run the terminal command ps v -A. This will show you how how much memory each process is running. You can then make a decision on whether you want to uninstall particular application. Please Register or Log in to view images As you can see, system apps are using up 62MB of the RAM (pretty normal). The MXTube daemon is using up 0.8MB. The top command If you want to go even deeper and look at your running processes in real-time then you can use the top command. The process for installing and using this command is below but I won't go into decyphering the output. Install the Unix 'top' command from Saurik's site. Do this by typing the following command lines into MobileTerminal: Code: su root alpine apt-get install top (note that if you have changed your device's password from 'alpine' to something else then use that password instead of alpine when prompted); In MobileTerminal type top and you should get a real time updated view of active processes and their CPU & memory usage. Press x to switch back and forth between legacy display. Press q to end real-time monitoring. Mobile Substrate Hooks Most applications tend to use mobile substrate hooks these days as developers have got wise to the problems associated with using daemons. Still hooks use up memory and you want to limit unwanted use if possible. The easiest way to see what hooks are running currently is through Cydia. open Cydia go to the 'Manage' tab press the 'Packages' button press the 'Simple' button in the top right corner to go to the Expert developer view find the Mobile Substrate package. **IMPORTANT - DO NOT UNINSTALL MOBILE SUBSTRATE** We are going to go part of the way to uninstalling it so that it lists the hooks associated with it but we do not want to uninstall it! click on Mobile Substrate click 'Modify' in top right hand corner Click 'Remove' STOP - DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT PRESS CONFIRM What you should see is something like the image below: Please Register or Log in to view images At any time one or more of the shown 'hooks' may be using up memory. Streamline your device and get rid of any you don't need. NOW PRESS CANCEL. DO NOT PRESS CONFIRM!!! Problematic Applications The following applications are known to potentially cause issues and so you should consider their effect on the stability of your device when using them. Intelliscreen - hooks to the springboard without using mobile substrate and is probably the major reason Saurik added the 'Safe Mode' to Cydia. Will also add pull on your battery CPU and RAM. Saurik recommends avoiding Intelliscreen until the author makes it a mobile substrate plug-in, due to the system wide instability it can cause. Kate - hooks to the spring board without using mobile substrate, similar to Intelliscreen, so is best avoided. Video & Auto Change Wallpapers - Can hog CPU and add extra pull on the battery as they constantly run video or a backgrounded app to change the wallpaper. May also use up additional RAM to cache images/video. Some apps better programmed and optimised than others.

Kazan, Russia – Burlington native Brady Heslip scored eight points over the final 120 seconds of the opening quarter to put Canada ahead 19-10 en route to an 84-69 opening game victory over Sweden for the Development Men's National Team at the 27th FISU Summer Universiade. The event, also known as the World University Games, is the largest international sporting event outside of the Olympic Games and features teams of student-athletes from across the globe compete in 27 sports, including basketball on both the men's and women's sides.
Sweden had set the pace early in Sunday's (July 7) match, leading for the majority of the opening quarter until the 2:00 mark when Heslip took control. With the momentum on the side of the Red and White, several Canadians stepped-up their games to lead Team Canada. Toronto product Dwight Powell notched nine points in the second frame as Canada built a 43-25 halftime lead.
Kevin Pangos, of Holland Landing, ON, was key to the Canadian's third quarter attack in contributing six points in the period. The added offence was needed as the Swedish side seemed intent on making up for a poor first half offensive display. Sweden would go on to tally 26 points in the quarter and close the gap to 11. Owen Klassen of Kingston added five points in the final quarter as Canada used 22 points and a solid defensive effort to hold-off Sweden.
Heslip finished the match with a game-high 22 points, including 15 from three-point range. Powell finished just shy of a double-double with 16 points and nine rebounds. Klassen also fell short of the feat by a single point, but finished with a game-high 10 rebounds. The collective size and speed of Canada helped the team to a 43-33 edge in rebounding and a 7-1 advantage in blocks.
When asked about the team's performance on the day, Heslip told Canadian Interuniversity Sport, "When you start playing games again after a few weeks off, it's a little different. But after the first quarter, all the guys gelled back into it. The whole three weeks that we spent together before this makes it easier. The guys do a great job of finding me – I'm just there to knock down shots."
Head coach Jay Triano liked his team's effort, but sees areas that can be improved upon. "I thought we played with good intensity. We just need to play a little bit smarter and a little bit better."
Canada's next game will be against the United Arab Emirates, which fell, 140-46, to the United States on the first day of competition.

Butternut Squash Bisque (Pressure Cooker)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
I believe I got this off the internet a few years ago when I was looking for pressure cooker recipes, it's very good with wonderful flavour. The Beau says he can't eat the commercially made stuff anymore, he likes this best! Great soup course for your dinner party.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large onions, peeled and cut into large pieces
- 1 (48 ounce) can chicken broth or 1 (48 ounce) can vegetable stock (for vegetarian version)
- 3 lbs butternut squash, peeled,seeded,and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 3 large mcintosh apples, peeled,cored and cut into 1 inch pieces (or your favourite apple)
- 3⁄4 cup long-grain rice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1 pint half-and-half (fat-free works too) or 1 pint milk, for thinner consistency
- salt, to taste
- In a 6 quart pressure cooker, sauté onions in olive oil for approximately 3 minutes, or until they begin to soften, but not brown.
- Add remaining ingredients, except half& half and salt, and place lid on cooker.
- Bring up to high pressure, then lower heat and cook for 10 minutes.
- Release pressure as directed by manufacturer.
- Open lid and allow to cool slightly.
- Place ingredients into blender or food processor, along with half& half and salt, if desired.
- Puree until smooth.
- Serve medium hot.
Most Helpful
This soup is easy and great tasting. There are ways to make it a little more healthy, but it is pretty fattening. Taste can't be beat though!
If you're afraid of the spices, don't be! This one is superb! I had an abundance of squash this year, so I had lots of opportunity to try different recipes. This one was the yummiest so far! Thanx for sharing!

Should I get a 2nd opinion on laparoscopic fibroid removal?
I have a fibroid that appears to be distorting the uterine wall and my fert specialist wants to do robotic laparscopic removal before he'll do IVF - which is our next step thanks to my age - 40 1/2. Suggestions from anyone re: a 2nd opinion? I don't want to offend my Doc b/c I really like him - but liking him and knowing for certain you're doing the right surgery with the right doc makes me hesitate - but I'm running out of time so to speak.
