I adore a woman who can make me snort my drink through my nose at dinner. After all the profiles that read of someone wanting someone else to make them laugh, all I can say to that is, in this life, you get what you give.
Relax, enjoy it, and let your hair down.
I'm usually very good at making people laugh -- I tend to have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor but can also just be weirdly funny.

I do keep a day job, however......
I'm self-employed in remodeling, specifically, tile, marble and stone, but perform many different related trades. I truly love my job, AND my boss. Also, I purchase and sell various and sundry items from storage auctions.

4 Non Blondes, With Special Guest Evan Rachel Wood, Reunite at 2014 AN EVENING WITH WOMEN Event Tonight
The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center previously announced that '90s female rock group 4 Non Blondes will reunite for a one-time, special performance at the 2014 "An Evening with Women" (AEWW) event produced by Grammy Award-winner Linda Perry on Saturday, May 10th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Actress and singer Evan Rachel Wood will join the stage as a special guest performer and comedian Margaret Cho will host the annual event, which is always attended by some of the most influential women in music and entertainment.
"To give is one of the greatest gifts one could ever receive. 'An Evening with Women' is all of us giving heart, passion, time and self. I want to be of service and what better way than to create an evening raising awareness by celebrating life, music and community," said Linda Perry. "The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center has done so much for so many. It's important to me that they continue helping people, and they need all the support they can get."
"An Evening with Women" raises funds for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's vital services for women and girls. Co-hosted & produced by Linda Perry & Brent Bolthouse, the event celebrates the life-saving programs of the Center through the powerful medium of music. Since Perry first began producing AEWW, the event has raised more than $4.1 million. Past performers at "An Evening with Women" have included Christina Aguilera, Pink, Cyndi Lauper, Heart, Cat Power, Courtney Love, Juliette Lewis, Ozzy Osbourne and Sia.
Since 1969 the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center has cared for, championed and celebrated LGBT individuals and families in Los Angeles and beyond. Today our health center, shelters, performance stages and classrooms serve more LGBT people than any other organization in the world. We are an unstoppable force in our community's fight against bigotry and the struggle to build a better world-a world in which LGBT people can be healthy, equal and complete members of society. Learn more at lagaycenter.org.
Born from the angst of living in a city rich with activism, music and on the forefront of the gay sexual revolution, 4 Non Blondes was formed in San Francisco in 1989. The band formed a musical bridge from an urban underground to music lovers of all genders, races and sexual orientations. They were signed by Interscope records and their musical strength and honesty broke through and crossed over to the masses with their 1992 debut release, Bigger, Better, Faster, More. Their 1993 anthemic hit "Whats Up" and the smash video on heavy rotation at MTV helped propel sales of the album to over six million copies worldwide. 4 Non Blondes disbanded in late 1994.

If the escape is not capped, there will be less and less revenue, fewer balanced budgets, more lost services, more lost jobs, more election waste, and more pain.
I am suggesting that each California parcel receive an updated evaluation/assessment at least once each quarter-century (25 years), regardless of it being a residential or commercial parcel.
I am not suggesting the elimination of Proposition 13, but merely installing a cap to stop its choking effect, which will get tighter and tighter year after year if we continue doing the same thing.

Board of Trustees pledges continued support for the Campaign for Syracuse University
We are writing as a follow-up to Monday's article about Syracuse University successfully surpassing — four months early — its $1-billion fundraising goal for The Campaign for Syracuse University.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we want to take this opportunity to thank students, faculty and the SU community for their strong support. We were delighted to celebrate this historic announcement last week, made all the more remarkable by the excitement and infectious enthusiasm of the hundreds of students, faculty and staff who were there on the Quad. The pride the SU community has in this achievement and our success under Chancellor Nancy Cantor's leadership was on full display.
It is important for us to recognize what it means for SU to have exceeded the goal for its most ambitious fundraising effort ever. The $1-billion goal is nearly triple that of any previous fundraising goal in the university's history and, thanks to the generosity of more than 60,000 individual donors — alumni and friends, faculty and staff, students and families — SU has entered a new philanthropic era.
When the campaign was launched in 2007, there were five core areas to which support would be designated by donors: student access and support; faculty excellence; cross-connections; building futures; and annual support. These were overarching areas of investment in which $1 billion in new funds would have the most positive impact on students, faculty and the university as a whole.
That impact has been great — 350 student scholarships have been established, endowed faculty chairs have more than doubled to a total of 99, new state-of-the-art facilities have been supported, including Newhouse III, the Life Sciences Complex and Dineen Hall, and new interdisciplinary teaching, research and community engagement initiatives have been supported across every one of SU's schools and colleges — just to name a few accomplishments.
And we are not done yet. While we already have surpassed our goal, the campaign is still underway and we are determined to finish strong. The areas of student and faculty support remain high priorities for the remaining months of the campaign and beyond.
Impressively, the success we've achieved together has come amid the worst national economic recession since the Great Depression — conditions that caused other universities to postpone similar campaigns. During this time, with the support of students, faculty and staff, SU actually thrived, building an unprecedented national and global volunteer network that was instrumental to the ultimate success of the campaign. These are extraordinary achievements in which every member of the SU family can take great pride.

(CNSNews.com) - In the face of a Democratic election year offensive targeting Republicans on Social Security "privatization," Republicans are hurting themselves by backtracking on the issue, reformers complain.
"We think it's just a bad strategy to play defense all the time, that you can't just curl up in a fetal position and beg not to have the Democrats say nasty things about you," said Michael Tanner, who heads the Cato Institute's newly renamed "Project on Social Security Choice." Amid the fight over how to define "privatization," however, Cato unceremoniously dropped the word from the project's title.
"The worst possible stance for the GOP is to be perceived as unprincipled flip-floppers on the Social Security issue," Steve Moore, president of the Club for Growth, warned in a Sept. 10 memo to National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) chairman Tom Davis (R-Va.).
"We now have a number of candidates in close races who are forced to explain why they were once for private investment account options and now they are against it," wrote Moore. "That is a losing proposition."
Republican House candidates Chris Chocola (Ind.), Rep. George Gekas (Pa.), Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.) have all taken steps to distance themselves from "privatization." Many candidates have rushed to sign a widely circulated pledge to oppose privatization.
In an unusual twist, GOP Senate candidate John Thune (S.D.) is attacking the incumbent Democrat by accusing him in TV ads of "[supporting] a Social Security privatization plan that lets the federal government invest Social Security in the stock market."
Sen. Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) denies the charge, saying he once liked the idea of including personal retirement accounts within Social Security but no longer holds that view.
Steve Schmidt, NRCC communications director, denies the committee is encouraging its House candidates to run away from the issue.
"Republican candidates across the country are making clear that they support the president on the concept of personal accounts," said Schmidt. "They're opposed to 'privatizing' Social Security," as well as tax increases on Social Security, an increase of the retirement age and a reduction of benefits, he said.
Schmidt pointed to an Aug. 26 memo from the NRCC to Republican House candidates advising them to "expose the Democrat strategy to portray 'personal accounts' and 'privatization' as identical."
Privatization "carries connotations of dismantling the publicly run Social Security system," the memo explains, rather than a personal retirement accounts system that operates within the government-run program.
But Democrats welcome the internal struggle over the matter.
"I think right now [Republicans] got the worst of both worlds," said Democratic pollster Mark Mellman. "They're being dishonest about a policy they believe in. Sometimes people give you credit if you're wrong on the policy, which they are, but at least you stand up for your beliefs.
"What Tom Davis is telling people to do is to lie about their beliefs," said Mellman. "The whole point of [Moore's] memo is to say, 'you guys are for private accounts, and instead of acting like you're not, you ought to tell the truth and say why you're for it.'"
According to the 2002 report of the Social Security system's Board of Trustees, the Social Security system in 2016 will begin spending more on benefits than it brings in through payroll taxes. That deficit spending will also continue indefinitely, the report states.

Yes, it is a bit unusual to see a new feature for a major app like Twitter get debuted on Windows Phone. But when that feature is Bing Translator and it's offered by Microsoft, it might not seem so strange after all. Imagine you're reading a tweet that is not in your native language. Click on a button and instantly the 140 characters are making a lot more sense to you.
Bing Translator became available for Windows Phone last November and with the Bing Platform released for developers on Wednesday, we could see Bing Translator baked inside the official Twitter apps for iOS and Android as well as other messaging apps, in the not so distant future.
We would be amiss if we didn't mention that the Bing Translator was added to Twitter in an update for the Windows Phone version of the app. Besides the translator, the update includes some bug fixes and also allows you to view Vine videos in-tweet. Overall, the Twitter experience is said to be improved for Windows Phone users with this update. So what are you waiting for? If you have a Windows Phone flavored handset, head to the Windows Phone Store and update your Twitter app now.

Aliquippa water main break disrupts service in Beaver County
The Aliquippa Water Authority brought in a contractor Sunday to help fix a broken water main in Aliquippa that disrupted water service there, in Raccoon and Potter and parts of Hopewell.
The break occurred on Tyler Street, and the Aliquippa Water Authority had to shut water off to drain lines to address the problem, said plant operator Don Anderson. He said he did not know the cause of the break, how many people are affected or how long it will take to fix it.
Stefanik Industries, based in Center in Beaver County, is helping address the problem.

Madison Heights
Another person killed jaywalking on Dequindre
By Andy Kozlowski
Posted December 3, 2012
Police are urging residents to use crosswalks and cross signals when trying to walk across the road, now that yet another person has been struck dead while jaywalking in Madison Heights, bringing last month's total to two people, both on Dequindre.The assumption that drivers will see you — and/or stop — can be fatal, authorities say.
The latest victim is 64-year-old Clestia Foster, who was using a walker to cross Dequindre from the west side, returning to her home in the apartments in the 27000 block of Parkview, just east of Dequindre.
The incident occurred around 6:12 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, just north of 11 Mile Road. Two vehicles struck Foster as she walked out of the driveway of a nearby business. The first vehicle was a 1998 GMC Jimmy, the second was a 1995 Chevrolet Beretta. Both had been traveling at or below the posted speed limit.
At press time, police were still awaiting autopsy results, but it was clear the victim died from blunt force trauma, including severe head injury.
"She was pronounced dead at the scene," Haines said. "The ambulance personnel who first arrived were not able to get any vitals on her."
The driver of the first vehicle saw Foster at the last second and swerved to try to avoid her, striking her with the passenger side of the vehicle. The second driver, given only a split-second to react, tried to slow down but still struck her, as well. Both drivers pulled over and called police, and have been cooperative with detectives.
There were no signs of the involvement of drugs, alcohol or distracted driving. The incident is being investigated as an accident.
This is the second such incident, on the same road, to occur in November. The first incident occurred around 6 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14. The victim, 69-year-old Maxine Patton, is a resident of the 27000 block of Dequindre in Madison Heights. She was hit in the right-turn lane of Dequindre, south of Madison Solberg Drive.
The vehicle was a 1996 Dodge passenger car, heading southbound. The driver — a woman — pulled over. No drugs or alcohol appear to have been involved in this case, either, nor did the driver appear to have been distracted. It's unclear how the woman was hit. Police say she was likely jaywalking — she was some distance from the nearest crosswalk, and it was dark out.
Witnesses are still sought for this latest tragedy on Dequindre. In the meantime, Haines advises people to not take chances walking across the middle of the road.
"Again, if you need to cross the road, especially one as heavily traveled as Dequindre, you need to use the crosswalks, use the signals, and pay attention to what traffic is doing, and unfortunately, due to the time of the year, it's getting darker much earlier, and at that time, Dequindre is a very busy road," Haines said. "So remember to always use the crosswalks and the cross signals."
Anyone with information on these or other incidents can contact Madison Heights detectives at (248) 585-2100.

Awesome! I especially needed the short, hard dashes. Thanks!
cool stuff - thanx
I appreciate this! I have a 3D animation where some text has a kind of "painting" type of method of appearing, and I needed a sound just like this to accompany it.
As a automomotive technician, these samplings quickly bring to my mind sounds of certain engines running at idle. Good
Using it for a school project. This sound is saving my hide! Thanks ALOT for uploading! :)
hey check out my video
i use your sound
Thanks! My girlfriend used it with a combination of other sewing machine sounds for her Final Art Project.

Johannesburg – Four people were killed when a VW Polo and a Nissan bakkie collided head on the Pretoria Road in Kempton Park, paramedics said on Wednesday.
The accident happened near the Elgen Road just before the traffic circle on Tuesday morning, said ER 24 spokesman Derrick Banks.
"Paramedics assessed the occupants in the Polo and found that all four had sustained very traumatic and fatal injuries and were declared dead on the scene," said Banks.
Emergency personnel had to use the 'Jaws of Life' to extricate the victim from the scene.
The driver of the bakkie, who was travelling alone at the time of the accident, was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
The cause of the accident was unknown. – Sapa

POLOKO TAU and Mogomotsi Magome
JULIUS Malema sent five ministers aligned with President Jacob Zuma packing yesterday, saying they had pitched up at his alternative memorial service for the murdered Marikana mineworkers just to "pose for the cameras".
This prompted the five angry ministers – Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane; Mining Minister Susan Shabangu; Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa; Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi; and, State Security Minister Siyabonga Cwele – to stage a walk out.
The expelled former ANC Youth League president told hundreds of mourners attending a service organised by his supporters at the Wonderkop informal settlement that the ministers were there for wrong and selfish reasons.
Malema said this was because the service had been organised and funded by the Friends of the ANCYL – a group that has kept Malema politically relevant since his expulsion – without a single cent from the government.
"Everything here was paid for by the Friends of the Youth League. Your government didn't pay for anything today; the only thing they're here for is to pose for cameras," said Malema.
He has used platforms, provided by the same group across the country in recent weeks, to question Zuma's leadership, his "thinking capacity" and private lifestyle.
Malema used the memorial to again lay into Zuma, claiming that the ANC leader benefited from the mines through his foundations.
"Zuma's foundations are getting money from mines. That is why they can't stand up to these mining companies," Malema said.
However, the fire-brand youth leader could not produce evidence to back up his claims.
Zuma's spokesman, Mac Maharaj, requested questions in writing, but had not yet responded by the time of going to print.
Shifting his focus to ANC national executive member Cyril Ramaphosa, Malema suggested that the businessman was "very arrogant" and used his wealth as a licence to kill the poor.
"People are killed and the only thing [Ramaphosa] could say is I'll give you R2 million. With this R2m he is saying I will kill and bury you," he said.
Malema's memorial took place a few hundred metres from the official one organised by the government.
Mourners, including ministers and church leaders, braved the scorching heat to gather under a marquee and another white tent.
Malema repeated his claim that Zuma had "killed" the Lonmin miners. "We have thought that this was the people's government and that people will be protected under democracy. [But now] the democratic government has turned against its people," Malema said.
He called on the miners not to turn their backs on the ANC, saying power-hungry individuals gave the party a bad name.
"We need to return the government back to the people, but you should not be angry at the ANC because it is a good organisation which is given a bad name by those fighting for positions."
Malema, who had championed the league's Economic Freedom in Our Lifetime slogan until his sacking, told the angry mineworkers to continue fighting for their rights.
"This is a mining revolution. We will not retreat or surrender until [Lonmin] has given us money," Malema said.
The miners have refused to return to work until their demands for a salary increase of up to R12 500 have been met.
Zuma did not attend yesterday's memorial, but held a briefing where he revealed that the commission of inquiry into the shooting would be headed by retired Judge Ian Farlam. He will be assisted by senior advocates Bantubonke Tokota and Pingla Hemraj.
Among the questions the commission will have to find answers to is what the role of the Lonmin mine bosses, police, unions, and the mineworkers was.
Zuma said the commission would also probe whether Lonmin had, by act or omission, created an environment conducive to tensions, labour unrest, disunity among its employees or any other harmful conduct. Zuma said the commission would also look at "the facts and circumstances which gave rise to the use of force, and whether this was reasonable and justifiable in the particular circumstances".
The commission will also investigate the conduct of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu).
Zuma said the commission would, in particular, probe the extent to which Amcu had exercised effective control over its membership and those allied to it in ensuring their conduct was lawful and did not endanger lives.
NUM would also be investigated for its role in the tragedy, in particular whether the union had exercised its best endeavours to resolve any disputes which may have arisen between itself, Lonmin, Amcu and other parties.
The commission would also look into the role played by the Department of Mineral Resources or any other government department or agency in relation to the incident and whether this was consistent with their duties according to law, he said.
The commission was expected to conclude its work in four months and would submit monthly interim reports before presenting Zuma with the final report.
"The commission shall, where appropriate, refer any matter for prosecution, further investigation or the convening of a separate inquiry to the appropriate law enforcement agency, government department or regulator regarding the conduct of any person or persons.
The commission would also have the powers, including that of entering and searching premises, securing the attendance of witnesses and compelling the production of documents, Zuma said.

Purdue QB Austin Appleby Transferring to Florida
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Purdue quarterback Austin Appleby is transferring to Florida.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Purdue quarterback Austin Appleby is transferring to Florida.
Police officers in Florida face investigation over injuries to DUI suspect in August arrest
George Zimmerman -- yes the same Florida neighborhood watchman acquitted in the Trayvon Martin murder trial -- was pulled over for speeding on a highway near Dallas, Texas.
A recent story about millionaire Ryan LeVin bypassing jail time with the help of money has infuriated people in his home state of Florida and across the U.S., as well.
In February 2010, while racing his Porsche against a friend's BMW in Fort Lauderdale, he ran into and killed two British tourists and then fled the scene.
Law enforcement officials are trained to deal with most scenarios. But an alligator attacking a police car? That's a different story.
According to reports, a rascally 10-foot alligator took a bite out of an Alachua County sheriff deputy's vehicle in Florida. The creature was reportedly spotted attacking the patrol car near a country club in Gainesville. The deputy watched the carnage as he waited for an alligator trapper to show up. Naturally, the car's front bumper was heavily damaged.
A local Florida teacher took discipline to a whole new (read: bizarre) level last week when she reportedly taped her chatty student's mouth shut with packing tape.
13-year-old seventh grader Jazlyn Freel claims the incident took place during a routine science class.
"She asked me to stop talking, and then a couple minutes went by, and I started to talk again, and she came to me and put it on my mouth," she said. "I had to cough, so I took the first piece off, so she went into her desk, and she took another piece out, and she put it on my mouth again."
Ten confused ducklings in Fort Myers, Florida found themselves caught in the middle of a busy intersection. Luckily, police officer Glenn Eppler spotted the tiny tykes.
With the help of an animal-loving passerby, Eppler was able to round the ducklings up and escort them to their mother, who was in a grassy area close to the road.
The rescue was captured on Eppler's dashboard camera. Read on to check it out.

This model shows how to use the Rayleigh and Rician multipath fading channel blocks from the Communications System Toolbox™. Rayleigh and Rician fading channels are useful models of real-world phenomena in wireless communications. These phenomena include multipath scattering effects, time dispersion, and Doppler shifts that arise from relative motion between the transmitter and receiver. The model also shows how these blocks operate with the channel visualization tool.
The example model simulates QPSK transmission over a multipath Rayleigh fading channel and over a multipath Rician fading channel. You can control transmission and channel parameters via workspace variables.
modelname = 'commmultipathfading';
The following variables control the "Bit Source" block. By default, the bit rate is 500 kb/s (250 ksym/s) and each transmitted frame is 200 bits long (100 symbols).
bitRate % Transmission rate (b/s) bitsPerFrame % Number of bits per transmitted frame
bitRate = 500000 bitsPerFrame = 200
The following variables control both the Rayleigh and Rician fading blocks. By default, the channel is modeled as four fading paths, each representing a cluster of multipath components received at around the same delay.
maxDopplerShift % Maximum Doppler shift of diffuse components (Hz) delayVector % Discrete delays of four-path channel (s) gainVector % Average path gains (dB)
maxDopplerShift = 200 delayVector = 1.0e-04 * 0 0.0400 0.0800 0.1200 gainVector = 0 -3 -6 -9
The maximum Doppler shift is computed as v*f/c, where v is the mobile speed, f is the carrier frequency, and c is the speed of light. For example, a maximum Doppler shift of 200 Hz (as above) corresponds to a mobile speed of 65 mph (30 m/s) and a carrier frequency of 2 GHz.
By convention, the delay of the first path is typically set to zero. For subsequent paths, a 1 microsecond delay corresponds to a 300 m difference in path length. In some outdoor multipath environments, reflected paths can be up to several kilometers longer than the shortest path. With the path delays specified above, the last path is 3.6 km longer than the shortest path, and thus arrives 12 microseconds later.
Together, the path delays and path gains specify the channel's average delay profile. Typically, the average path gains decay exponentially with delay (i.e., the dB values decay linearly), but the specific delay profile depends on the propagation environment. In the delay profile specified above, we assume a 3 dB decrease in average power for every 4 microseconds of path delay. We have also selected an option in each channel block's mask dialog to normalize the average path gains so that their collective gain is 0 dB.
The following variables control the Rician fading block. The Doppler shift of the line-of-sight component is typically smaller than the maximum Doppler shift (above) and depends on the mobile's direction of travel relative to the direction of the line-of-sight path. The K-factor specifies the ratio of average received power from the line-of-sight path relative to that of the associated diffuse components.
LOSDopplerShift % Doppler shift of line-of-sight component (Hz) KFactor % Ratio of specular power to diffuse power
LOSDopplerShift = 100 KFactor = 10
Consider 20 kb/s QPSK transmission over the outdoor multipath channel described above.
bitRate = 20000; % 20 kb/s transmission
You can enable channel visualization for a fading channel block via a check box in its mask dialog or by double-clicking the block while the model executes. (Note that channel simulation typically runs hundreds of times faster without the channel visualization enabled.) For this example, we'll use the command line interface shown below. We will focus initially on the Rayleigh fading block.
rayleigh_block = [modelname '/Multipath Rayleigh Fading Channel']; rician_block = [modelname '/Multipath Rician Fading Channel']; set_param(rayleigh_block, 'openVisAtStart', 'on'); set_param(rician_block, 'openVisAtStart', 'off');
When we execute the model, the default channel visualization is the bandlimited impulse response (green curve). The visualization also shows the delays and magnitides of the underlying fading path gains (red/magenta/blue bars) clustered around the peak of the impulse response. (Note: For path gains, red corresponds to the smallest path delay while blue corresponds to the largest. Components with intermediate delay values are shades between red and blue, becoming more blue for larger delays.) Because the channel's delay span (12 microseconds) is much smaller than our QPSK symbol period (100 microseconds), these components cause minimal time dispersion. The resultant bandlimited impulse response closely approximates a sinc pulse and thus has very small intersymbol interference (ISI) components (green circles).
Tsim = 0.12; sim(modelname, Tsim);
You can select the visualization from the "Visualization" menu (you can do this while or after the model runs). For this example, we'll use a command line utility (commmultipathfading_vis) to select the channel frequency response (the second visualization from the menu). We first use the command line utility commmultipathfading_vis_fighandle to obtain the handle to the channel visualization tool. Note that the frequency response is approximately flat because of the minimal time dispersion caused by the multipath channel.
figHandle = commmultipathfading_vis_fighandle( rayleigh_block );
commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 2);
This kind of low-dispersion multipath fading is often referred to as narrowband fading, or frequency-flat fading. Effectively, all delayed components combine at a single delay (in this case, at zero). The bandwidth is too small for the signal to resolve the individual components. Using the "Multipath gain" visualization, you can validate this narrowband fading behavior. When the signal's fading envelope (blue dashed curve) closely approximates the "Narrowband" curve (magenta dots), you can regard the channel as exhibiting narrowband fading.
commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 6);
To simplify and speed up simulation, narrowband fading channels are typically modeled as a single-path fading channel. (That is, a multiple-path fading model overspecifies a narrowband fading channel.) The following settings correspond to a narrowband fading channel. Notice that the shape of the bandlimited impulse response is similar to that shown above (the frequency response is also flat).
delayVector = 0; % Single fading path with zero delay gainVector = 0; % Average path gain of 1 (0 dB) Tsim = 0; % Single-frame simulation sim(modelname, Tsim);
The single-path fading channel is modeled as a complex gain, which captures both the attenuation and phase shift of the channel. The "Phasor trajectory" visualization shows how this complex gain changes over a transmitted frame. The blue line is the phasor of the path, and the green line is the trajectory of its end point. The signal experiences a deep fade when this trajectory passes through or near zero.
commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 4); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'animation', 2); sim(modelname, Tsim);
In the above example, we also set the animation mode ("Animation" menu). In the default mode ("Interframe only"), the channel visualization tool shows only one channel snapshot for each transmitted frame. Setting the animation to "Slow" makes the tool show channel snapshots in succession. (Again, we used the command line utility to select a menu option.)
The "Multipath fading components" visualization shows the magnitude of the fading channel. The magnitude fluctuates over a 30-40 dB range in the Rayleigh fading channel. We've increased the frame length so we can see many fades over a frame period.
bitsPerFrame = 1000; commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 5); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'animation', 4); Tsim = 0.1; sim(modelname, Tsim);
The Doppler spectrum is a statistical characterization of the fading process. The channel visualization tool makes periodic measurements of the Doppler spectrum (blue dots). Over time, the average of this measurement better approximates the theoretical Doppler spectrum (red dashed curve). A close approximation indicates good statistical coverage by the Rayleigh fading process.
commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 7);
Tsim = 2;
sim(modelname, Tsim);
The Rician fading block models line-of-sight propagation in addition to diffuse multipath scattering. This results in a smaller variation in the magnitude of the channel gain. To see this effect, we'll run a new simulation with the Rican fading channel visualization enabled. Note that the magnitude fluctuates over approximately a 10 dB range (compared with 30-40 dB for the Rayleigh fading channel). This variation would be further reduced by increasing the K-factor (currently set to 10).
commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'close'); set_param(rayleigh_block, 'openVisAtStart', 'off') set_param(rician_block, 'openVisAtStart', 'on') Tsim = 0.1; sim(modelname, Tsim); figHandle = commmultipathfading_vis_fighandle( rician_block ); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 5);
You can also see the impact of this reduced magnitude variation on the phasor trajectory. Unlike Rayleigh fading, the trajectory is unlikely to pass through or near zero.
commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 4); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'animation', 4);
You can use the "Sample index" slider to pause animation and select the channel snapshot to be displayed. With the phasor trajectory, for example, setting the index to 200 displays the trajectory corresponding to the 200th sample within the 1000-sample frame.
commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'animation', 1); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'sampleindex', 200);
We now return to our original four-path Rayleigh fading channel. We saw in the first section how narrowband fading causes signal attenuation and phase rotation. By opening the scope "After Rayleigh Fading," you can see the impact of narrowband fading on the signal constellation. (To slow down the channel dynamics for visualization purposes, we've greatly reduced the maximum Doppler shift.) In addition to attenuation and rotation, you can see a some signal distortion because of the small amount of ISI in the received signal.
bitsPerFrame = 200; delayVector = [0:3]*(4e-6); gainVector = [0:3]*(-3); maxDopplerShift = 5; % Close visualization tool and enable signal constellation scope. set_param(rician_block, 'openVisAtStart', 'off'); rayleigh_scope = [modelname '/After Rayleigh Fading']; set_param(rayleigh_scope, 'openScopeAtSimStart', 'on') Tsim = 0.01; sim(modelname, Tsim); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'close');
When we increase the signal bandwidth to 500 kb/s (250 ksym/s), we see much greater distortion in the signal constellation. This distortion is ISI that comes from time dispersion of the wideband signal. The channel's delay span (12 microseconds) is now larger than the QPSK symbol period (4 microseconds), so the resultant bandlimited impulse response is no longer well-approximated by a sinc pulse.
bitRate = 500000; % 500 kb/s transmission. set_param(rayleigh_block, 'openVisAtStart', 'on'); sim(modelname, Tsim); set_param(rayleigh_scope, 'openScopeAtSimStart', 'off');
By selecting the "IR Waterfall" visualization, you can see the evolution of the impulse response over a frame. We've increased the frame length and restored the maximum Doppler shift to 200 Hz in this example.
bitsPerFrame = 1000; maxDopplerShift = 200; Tsim = 0.02; sim(modelname, Tsim); figHandle = commmultipathfading_vis_fighandle( rayleigh_block ); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 3); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'animation', 1); scopeConfig = get_param( rayleigh_scope , 'ScopeConfiguration' ); scopeConfig.Visible = false; % Close scope
Over the wider signal bandwidth, the channel frequency response is no longer flat. The impact of the multipath channel on wideband signals is often referred to as frequency-selective fading.
commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 2); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'animation', 4);
You can also use the channel visualization tool to display composite visualizations. In the example below, we show two visualizations: (1) the magnitude of the multipath fading components plotted over a frame period, and (2) a snapshot of the bandlimited impulse response.
commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'visualization', 10); commmultipathfading_vis(figHandle, 'animation', 1);

text: Thought to have arrived in the American colonies from Ireland in about 1742, along with brother James. (Another brother, Ninian, reportedly came later, around 1756; he settled in western NC, which later became East TN.) Both Jeremiah and James purchased land in Orange Co., VA, in 1742, and, around the same time, Jeremiah married Margaret Hamilton, whom, it is claimed, he had met on the boat over from Europe. The couple had five children: John; James; Ann; Ninian; and Martha. Son James was born in Lancaster Co., PA, in 1745, and father Jeremiah appears on the 1751 tax list for York Co., PA. Jeremiah died in York Co. in 1776. In 1800, the part of York Co. where the Chamberlains lived became Adams Co., PA.

Here is my problem:
Starting yesterday my homepage has been coming up a little slower than usual, at first I thought it may be my connection, LAG, whatever right? NOPE, today I was able to capture a URL that wasnt able to connect to whatever and it appears that I have somesort of SPYWARE-reporting something or other in my comp. I definatley now that it is somesort of malware b/c earlier it opened 67 seperate IE windows. I have copied and pasted the url below, as you can see it says something about 'ADVIEW' in the URL and I'm guessing this is whats causing the problem maybe? Anyway, take a look and lemme know if you guys have seen this before. Maybe this is a known bot or malware that my progs just arent picking it up. Thanks alot you guys!
===As you can see it even happened while i was here on the forums.
There is another fellow here 'mydeadfriend' who has some more information on "MIDADDLE".
Here is the other fellows post.

Results 1 to 1 of 1
Another Audi C7 RS6 drag race video - RS6 versus Caterham Caterham 485 R
It seems Audi has been giving the new RS6 to various automotive press outlets to test lately. Auto Bild compared it to the new E63 AMG S 4Matic wagon. AutoExpress did a horrible drag race video also against the new E63 AMG wagon although the rear wheel drive version. EVO even compared the RS6 to the Nissan GT-R in a well done drag race. So now here come the French journalists choosing to compare the big German super wagon to... a lightweight British track toy.
Make sense? Not really. One is a 4265 pound twin turbo V8 wagon and the other is a featherlight 1156 pound four cylinder track toy. But who cares? A drag race is a drag race and they at least include some data.
The RS6 does the sprint in 12.1 seconds (no trap speeds, mind boggling how so many Europeans don't seem to understand how to properly show drag race data) and the Caterham in a respectable 12.7. That .6 second difference is huge as you can see in the video. This is simply a victory of sheer muscle.

He had sec. w. Damaris Shattuck, a wid. from Eng. wh. d. 28 Nov. 1674, and d. 29 Dec. 1674.
MARRIAGE: (1) By about 1614 _____ _____; she probably died in Salem in 1636, perhaps at the birth of youngest child Seeth (see COMMENTS below). (2) (prob.) By 1639 Margaret _____, who joined the church at Salem 24 March 1639/40 [ SChR 8]. (See TAG 30:156 for discussion of claims she was Margaret Friar.) "In the Salem land grant of 1637 Thomas Gardner received acreage for a household of seven. His sons Thomas and George were already old enough to receive grants of their own and be considered separate households. Seven younger children of Thomas Sr. were still under age and presumably residing at home, which would make a household of eight. One or more of the children could have been serving in another family, but this accounting raises the possibility that Thomas did not have a wife living in 1637. This hypothesis is supported by the admission to church membership of a Margaret Gardner on 24 March 1639/40; had she been with Thomas Gardner since his arrival in New England, we would expect that she would appear in the list of church members compiled in late 1636 at the reorganization of the church. Consequently, we propose that Thomas Gardner had three wives, the first of them of unknown name, who died at the birth of the youngest child, Seeth, whose baptism is one of the first recorded in late 1636."
In his discussion of "Margaret Friar", McCracken identifies the 1639 church record as belonging to Thomas Sr's wife, and says of the last name "Friar" that it was "first stated in print by Rev. Joseph B. Felt well over a century ago. Neither Dr. Gardner nor Mr. Moriarty was ever successful in finding Mr. Felt's evidence; but it would be well not to reject the possibility that Friar (or a variant) is right until we can either prove the true name was something else or discover how the error arose."

David Cromer Re-envisions Our Town at the Broad, Santa Monica
Our Town
by Thornton Wilder
directed by David Cromer
@ The Broad Stage, Santa Monica
through February 12
I could go on and on. I see my mother in Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Webb. She worked her fingers to the bone. She didn't long to go to Paris, like Mrs. Gibbs, but she certainly longed for something beyond the confines of the kitchen and her daily chores around the house caring for me and my father. Nonetheless, she did her job with little complaining and brought me up to be respectful of others - something that is sorely missing from many in this current generation.
Let's be specific about Cromer's unusual staging. It is in the three-quarter and the Broad stage is arranged almost as if it were a gymnasium with bleacher-type seating - here on three sides instead of two, and 99% of the action takes place on the floor with, as usual, a minimum of props. Some action is also played out cinematically, from one end of the auditorium to the other, as actors move - walk, run, whatever is required in the scene - around in a circle behind the first row of seats, to give the effect of moving about the streets of the town. The choir scene in Act I is in the balcony, so some audience must swivel in their seats in order to see it. Interesting, pulling us into the action, making us feel part of Grover's Corners - and for the most part, it works exceedingly well. The only difficulty is sometimes hearing the actors. If you sit center, it is difficult to hear what occurs at the back end of the stage, where the Webb kitchen is set up. If you are sitting on the sides facing the Webb kitchen, it will be hard to hear what transpires in the Gibbs' kitchen, or at the wedding ceremony in Act II, which is front and center, at the opposite end. The actors could be miked, I suppose, but that would ruin the effect of the play as written. It would further complicate the simplicity of the early 1900s.Wilder might turn over in his grave! Anyway, I admire this novel, exciting execution and what it is attempting to do, so the slight straining to hear at certain times did not take away my appreciation of the overall evening.
Despite the aforementioned acoustical problems, the overall production is worthy of immense praise. One line that Hunt speaks in Act III will stick with me forever: "Aren't they waitin' for the eternal part in them to come out clear?" We all want that special light from within to shine forever. Thornton Wilder tapped into humanity then, now and most likely for all eternity - and of this fine production, he would be proud.

The Ducks received offense from some unexpected sources Wednesday and controlled most of the action, beating Phoenix, 4-1.
The victory improved them to 2-3-1 under new coach Bruce Boudreau.
Niklas Hagman scored twice and Rod Pelley and Kyle Palmieri each scored once for the Ducks (9-16-5). Hagman now has four goals this season. The scores were the first for both Pelley and Palmieri.
Pelley was making his Ducks debut. He was acquired Monday in a trade with New Jersey. Palmieri was playing in his second game this year, having been recalled from Syracuse last week.
Jonas Hiller stopped 19 of 20 shots from the Coyotes (15-12-3).
The game also marked the return of defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky from injury.
The Ducks now go back on the road for their next five games, starting Friday at Chicago.

Teen-bride-turned-reality-star Courtney Stodden and her husband, 52-year-old Doug Hutchison, got the boot on Wednesday night's episode of "Couples Therapy."
The duo, who were far from beloved by their fellow houseguests, found themselves the subject of several cast complaints -- many of which centered on Courtney's distracting clothing, or more to the point, the lack thereof. That prompted show psychotherapist Dr. Jenn Berman to demand that the 18-year-old cover up.
Courtney agreed at first, donning full-length jeans and a tank top, but she was soon back to her barely-there ways.
"I'm an activist for bullying," she told Dr. Jenn in defense of her decision to continue to wear next to nothing.
But really, she saw herself as something more than that.
"I guess you could call me the 21st century Erin Brockovich," she said.
No, really.
And this Brockovich-for-a-new-generation wasn't about the budge on the issue.
"It's unfortunate because I think we had a lot of good work to do," Dr. Jenn said. "(But) if you're not willing to follow the dress code, you have to leave."
Courtney and Doug packed their bags and did just that.
The remaining couples, including former "Real Housewives of New York" stars Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen, pretended to be sad about the departure -- in between fits of laughter.
"Couples Therapy" airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on VH1.
