Martha Wainwright LP Review
Martha Wainwright GOODNIGHT CITY. [PIAS]
GOODNIGHT CITY via [PIAS] is the follow-up to her acclaimed 2012 release COME HOME TO MAMA. GOODNIGHT CITY features 12 brand new songs produced by Thomas Bartlett (Surfjan Stevens, Glen Hansard) and long time producer Brad Albetta. It recalls the emotional rawness of her debut album, much of it encapsulated by the captivating lead track 'Around The Bend' and her extraordinary voice.
"Making 'Goodnight City' was the most fun I've had in a long time," Martha admits. "Thomas (keys), Brad (electric/bass), Phil Melanson (drums) and I would sit in a circle and work out arrangements for these vividly different songs. Recording them live with very few overdubs the focus remains on the integrity of the song and our ability to play together as a band."
Martha wrote half the songs on the album while the other half were written by friends and relatives: Beth Orton, Glen Hansard, Rufus, Wainwright, Michael Ondaatje and Merrill Garbus of tune-yArDs. "Because these writers know me and because I was able to personalise these songs by changing things here and there, I made them feel as if I wrote them myself," Martha explains. "Somehow they wonderfully reflect my life and I am so thankful to the other artists for writing them." GOODNIGHT CITY was recorded in Montreal. Last year Martha and Lucy Wainwright Roche released SONGS IN THE DARK as the Wainwright Sisters.
Listening to the opening bars of Martha Wainwrights latest opus I am forced to wonder why certain recent female artists (Adele et al) receive such reverential acclaim, copious amounts of airplay and sales, underpinned by vast PR budgets. You see, right now, in my opinion, very few are as good as Martha Wainwright - vocally, in live performance and in songwriting. And none offer such a distinctive and original sound.
Maybe it's her erratic label hopping (why such an artist originally camped at Drowned In Sound is frankly beyond me) or inadequate managament - who knows. But the fact remains that she deserves to be selling millions of records, selling out arenas and conquering the airwaves. She has it all but only receives a relatively small return on her talent investment. GOODNIGHT CITY is an extraordinary album with writing input from some of the greatest around. 'Around The Bend' opens the album with that characterically wandering voice which travels the full range of notes with such distinction. It's a showcase of writing and performing that reminds me of her stunning and emotional eponymous debut. Musically she seems to have refined both her voice and sound in comparison.
The second track, 'Franci', is a more conventional ballad which builds gradually to lift sound and pace as she celebrates a lover's character. 'Traveller' is a more contemplative piece which travels at snail's pace backed by plucked guitar and piano. It's a beautiful song with another incredible vocal performance that climbs high notes with ease. The melody is powerful, the lyrics excellent, the performance is one of her best on the record. If I was to guess the writer of this song I would stab at Glen Hansard - but no, this is in fact 100% Martha (Hansard co-wrote 'One Of Us')!
Flowing piano notes introduce 'Look Into My Eyes' with Martha almost whispering the lyrics for most of the song until she hits the chorus with a gusto that hurtles like a hurricane. Then brass instruments enter to create a Claude Lelouche, cinematic type vibe which signals a brief spell of French lyrics. 'Before The Children Came' offers a distinctly jazzy sound with stripped down instrumentals where that wonderful voice comes into sharp focus and again travels the scale.
'Window' fairly rushes along while offering up another different sound and another strong melody. 'Piano Music' reminds me of Streisand at her moody, quiet best while 'So Down' offers a slice of fiery alt country rock. In all there are twelve tracks providing a diverse mix of pace, mood and sound - more so than ever before. Officially, the album was penned for 2017 release but it seems to have sneaked out in dying days of 2016. For this reason it has not been included in our best of 2016. However, there's a distinct possibility that it will top our list of 2017 - it's that good. The gauntlet has been thrown!!!

Master Chief can not lift 100 tons or destroy a battle ship with a weapon built into his armor. Also, Kelly is confirmed by everyone to be WAY faster then Master Chief and she can only move at 38mph in bursts. Iron mans armor (flying) can reach orbital escape velocities (5 miles per second). However he can maneuver on the ground at increased speeds. He's fought against captain america and wolverine, both who can arguably react just as fast as master chief.

Pretty much every marvel character is grossly OP when compared to pretty much any other "universe".
I think you're thinking of DC.
Marvel has characters like Spider-man and Captain America, who aren't actually overpowered at all. Even against their villains, they struggle constantly and get hurt because they're still human.
In comparison to DC, which has Superman, Flash, etc. When they're put up against their villains, the writers have to find some kind of bull**** and have the hero forget about half of his powers in order to even make the fight kind of fair. 90% of the villains plots could be prevented just by DC heroes using their abilities like they always do.
Also, people saying that Chief would win A) haven't read any of the comics and don't know what's actually going on and B) apparently didn't even watch the movie where Ironman gets hit dead-on by a tank and just shakes it off.

Wow, this would actually be a pretty awesome, close fight. They each have advantages and disadvantages.
The Master Chief: Pros:
- His armor is about 2000 lbs., so he's heavier and has more mass. Being tackled by the Chief would be like getting hit by a train.
- He has more combat experience. About 40 years of it.
- He could use virtually anything as a weapon.
- Extremely lucky and survived tougher odds.
The Master Chief: Cons:
- He uses guns mostly, so they're almost ineffective against Iron Man. That means bludgeons or hand-to-hand combat only.
- He'd be forced to fight on the ground, unless he uses a Jet Pack for short bursts.
Iron Man: Pros:
- He has a large arsenal of weapons built into his armor.
- He has indefinite flight, and thus has the high ground.
- He has dozens of suits of armor to fit a variety of different situations.
- His repulsor blast. and uni-beams are quite strong.
Iron Man: Cons:
- He's an alcoholic, so his judgement would be impaired.
- We don't know to what degree how strong his repulsor blasts are against the shielding of MJOLNIR armor. If they're as strong against the Chief as Sentinel beams, then Iron Man may be in trouble.
- Tony Stark is the kind of guy who would just call in the rest of the Avengers to help him fight the Chief, so even though he could get the win that way, it would be a shameful victory, if it could even be called HIS victory (the Hulk would probably be the one who delivers the killing attack, or maybe even Thor).

Overcharged plasma pistol
Doesn't do anything against Ironman.
His armor is immune to EMPs. It absorbs electricity, and actually becomes stronger by it. They actually do this at one point to power up one of his generators past capacity and amplify its power.
Underwater Spartans:
Are we talking movie Iron Man or comic Iron Man?
Movie Iron Man MC would actually have a chance.
Comic Iron Man...well...model 37 survived a nuclear yield explosion at only 2% shield strength so...

The Master Chief was attacked by a UNSC Skyhawk at part of a training exercise to test how effectively the Chief and Cortana could work together (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Skyhawk_Fighter) and the Chief *****-slapped the missile out of the air.
This was in the Fall of Reach novel.
And that's just his Mark IV armor from Halo 1. He's up to Mark VI now.

Depends if we're going by movie or comic Iron man and in the same light it depends if we're going with in-game MC or what he's done in the novels.
If it's movie Iron man vs MC in the novels, MC has a chance, but Iron man is probably going to win. If it's comic book Iron man then well...gg Chief.

Iron man has no chance, his mixup game is weak. He has horrible hitboxes, and can be punished for almost everything he does.

One fabulous farm girl .... Ginger Rogers
One thing you should know about me is I'm a bit of an old soul. When I was about 5 yrs old, my infatuation with Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean began. In fact, my first pet gerbils were named Elvis and Marilyn. At age 6, I visited Graceland and have wanted to go back ever since - most folks would find this a little unusual for someone who was born after the year 1977 (when Elvis died). My fascination with old (and mostly deceased) celebrities still continues to this day. Once we subscribed to the Turner Classic Movie TV station - I discovered my love for actresses like Grace Kelly and Ginger Rogers. Big D does not share this interest ... he'd rather be tuned into the History Channel or playing with farm numbers on an Excel spreadsheet ....not my idea of a great time hubs!

In tonight's episode of her election special on Logo, out comic Wanda Sykes has a message for the still-undecided voters, or as she calls them, "women."
"If you are lesbian, gay, bi, trans, straight, black, hispanic, white, republican, democrat — yes, Madonna, I'm talking to you — you can't sit out this race," Sykes urges on NewNowNext Vote with Wanda Sykes. "Don't bitch and whine later when a villain in a black mustache is tying you down to an ultrasound table."
After identifying herself as a "gay black woman with a French wife and white kids," Sykes says she's over pretending to be impartial. "I'm gonna be me," she says. "I'm voting for Obama."
For those readers living in one of the four states booting on marriage equality, check out this sneak peek for Sykes' breakdown on how to vote on marriage bills in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington.
NewNowNext Vote with Wanda Sykes airs tonight at 10:30 p.m. Eastern, 9:30 p.m. central on Logo.

Blowfish Surf Series
Saturday November 2, 2002
Ocean Beach Pier
The third event of the Blowfish Surf Series was held on Saturday, November 2nd, 2002 at the Ocean Beach Pier. This event had 70 competitors showing up at 7:00 am to stake their claim to cash, prizes and the ever important points for the VQS finals. The sun was shining early, the waves were on the small side but clean in the morning but as the tide dropped so did the surf, even so, everyone had a great time.
The grom division is always competitive and this contest was no different. Local knowledge seemed to play a part in the results as Jordan Gaudet and Travis Scarbrough took first and second and both are from O.B. Alex Halbert rounded out the top 3. The lineup was tricky and wave selection played a big part in this division.
This year the juniors division has been getting better and better every contest. It was good to see some new faces as well. It was close for the top three but newcomer Cody Trout took the win, prizes, points and best of all a new snowboard. Michael Mulloy placed second and Jason Mcilwee rounded out the top three. With one event remaining worth double points all the division placing are up for grabs.
The pro-am is always the most competitive and this contest was no different. 36 men competed for cash, prizes and points and it showed by the level of competition. The division was stacked with guys like Ian Rotgins, Jason Franco, Derek Dunfee, and Julian Mullins. When all was said and done Jason Franco walked away with his second win of this years Blowfish events, back to back, and $150 in cash. Ian Rotgans was second and took home $50 bucks. Temojin Matsbara rounded out the top three.

How do you feel about Doujin Authors who humiliate decent/nice characters?
Not trying to flamebait: just want to see how everyone else feels.
Sometimes, a character is just so sweet/decent/kind/nice/noble that they touch you heart, and you not only just like them, but actually love and respect them.
And then there's Doujin authors who deliberately go out of their way to pick those decent, lovable characters and humiliate them.
Don't get me wrong; I openly enjoy my H-Doujins as much as the next Otaku;
But it just feels so wrong when it's a good-hearted dreamer like Saten Ruiko (Railgun) tricked into being humiliated from the promise of getting a mere Level-One power, and crying with joy that she got said power at the cost of her dignity.
Or Yuuki (Sword Art Online II), a shining example of bravery and hope
being reduced to a crying wreck whose hard work and courage amounted to nothing.
I'm all for free speech and all, but am I weird for wanting to punch authors like that in the face, or at least write a strongly-worded letter to them?
Just wondering that's all.

Oh, I hate those type of Anime. It's not only Anime that does this too but Animated shows too, like Ed, Edd n Eddy that had the really nice guy get beaten all the time even though it wasn't his fault at all. I like Anime that nice characters get treated with respect, I also really hate when the female main character beat the crap out of them when they didn't even do any thing wrong. Why thes people who work on those shows feel they need nice guy's get treated like crap is Beyound me, must have had a lousy childhood.

ANDDDD this is why I only deal with original doujins or series I don't like. Most people have shitty imaginations so I just leave it to not spill over or insult things that are actually good. Pretty sure a lot of people seem to want to draw teh sex without consideration of who or what it is, so yea...

I kind of like these kind of doujins as long as the art is good. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy good heart warming vanilla though. I'm all for variety.
Also, I've read that apparently these kind of doujins are also often drawn by female artists.

I don't see anything wrong with this.
In fanfiction/doujins the author portrays the characters in a way he or she wants to. If that's a rape fantasy, heart-breaking, depressing, vanilla or a complete reverse of the character then so be it. It's their take on the story and as long as it fits well into their story then that's perfectly fine.

Freedom of expression is important, but that's not the same as freedom from mere criticism. If you present a character in a way that some people will find offensive and/or very OoC, you should be prepared to face some criticism for it.
Fanfics and fanworks that don't degrade/humiliate characters in the way that the OP is describing are preferable to fanfics and fanworks that do degrade characters in that way, all else being equal. I agree with the OP on that.
If they just take the character, and present them completely OoC pretty much right off the bat, then that's either bad writing or disrespectful of the character or both, in my opinion.
And I find it a bit ironic that you agreed with what GDiddy wrote, because I would argue that some fanfic writers taking positions like your own is a big part of the reason why fanfiction often has a bad reputation. When people read fanfiction, it's typically because they want to read characters they know and like in new and different stories. That's undermined when characters are presented very OoC - Writing a character OoC defeats much of the very reason that many people would turn to fanfics to begin with.

It's just not a subject that has bothered me much. Some doujins/fanfics can take established characters/settings into unexpected and interesting ways. I may not always like it, but I won't begrudge the writer for it.
Also, it's important to remember that a shitty story is a shitty story, regardless of the genre and characters used. Many times a creatively bankrupt individual or company will just use the characters/setting to cash in on popularity. They really don't care about the original material at all, they just want to make some money.
So there's personal reasons they might make a trashy story, and there's monetary reasons. Honestly though, with so many doujin out there, there's bound to be some good ones. I say find those, and pretend the rest don't exist. There's no need to be upset.

Do you honestly find it hard to understand and accept why a fan of a character would dislike that character being wrote in degrading and/or very OoC ways?
If I like a character, I'd rather not see that character get raped, and left in tears.
And here's a key factor for me - I don't read many doujins, but rape or coerced sex comes up in a pretty high percentage of the ones I've come across (which is probably the main reason why I don't read more doujins than what I do - this is a serious turn-off for me). I find this, at best, disappointing. Because the writer could have chosen to try to write a believable and truly consensual sex scene. In my view, that's more win-win, as it's something that's less likely to upset the fans of the characters involved. And some of us just don't like rape content, period.
So, using your logic, who are you to judge me for preferring consensual sex scenes over rape?
Criticism can be helpful at times. As a frequent fanfic writer myself, I welcome constructive criticism. I want to know when readers think I'm writing a character OoC, or when they think I'm not being fair to a particular character. I probably won't always agree with the reader, but sometimes the reader might change my mind, and then that may result in me improving as a fanfic writer or making some helpful adjustments to a fanfic-in-progress.

I don't think people should go out of their way to find fanfics or doujins they don't like, but if you come across one during a general search, then offering some feedback to that effect might have an impact. Especially if it's mixed with honest compliment as well.
Something like "Great artwork, but I didn't like the story because you made it seem terribly torturous for Character XYZ"

I hate the rape stuff because it's just OoC for the most part and I find it disrespectful to the creator's vision as well.

I get what you're saying, but my point was that positive feedback without criticism is just as valuable. You don't have to give negative feedback, nor do you have to balance it with likes/dislikes. Everyone communicates differently.

Portugal's weak economy has also led to an increase in property enquiries, a study by property company Rightmove Overseas and foreign exchange firm Moneycorp indicated.
The province of Valencia in Spain saw the biggest increase in searches - up more than 166 per cent.
In contrast, inquiries about property in Australia and New Zealand fell the furthest last month.
Maura Hillen, president of Abusos Urbanisticos Almanzora No (AUAN), one of the many protest groups made up of British expats whose homes have been deemed by the Spanish authorities to be illegally built despite being bought in good faith, said: "The Spanish property market is an option for professional speculators who can afford to lose their investment or incur additional unexpected costs.
The market hasn't bottomed out in terms of property values and given the legal uncertainties caused by the planning situation, it's all a bit of a gamble. Buyers beware."
There are estimated to be up to one million illegal homes in Spain, the majority of which belong to British expats.
Overall, searches for property overseas increased 1.2 per cent in March 2011 compared with February 2011, the survey reported.

Coleman credits Moyes
Seamus Coleman has credited manager David Moyes for being fast-tracked by Republic of Ireland.
Last Updated: 06/10/10 4:36pm
Everton's Seamus Coleman has credited manager David Moyes after being fast-tracked to Republic of Ireland's senior set-up.
The Toffees defender could win his first cap in Ireland's Euro 2012 qualifier against Russia on Friday.
Coleman has made two Premier League starts for Everton this season and credits his meteoric rise to Moyes.
The 21-year-old knows he is far from the finished article and insists he is not getting carried away with his progress.
"(Moyes) has definitely has improved me. He's eased me in. He gives me a lot of advice," he told Sky Sports News.
"I know myself that I'm still learning some parts of the game and that.
"He's a good manager to play under. I obviously have to thank him for getting called into the international set-up.
"You don't want to cross him, but I think that's the way you've got to be as a player anyway.
"You've got to respect your manager and whatever they say you've got to do because they are your boss at the end of the day.
"That's the way I am anyway, if I'm told to do something I'll do it."
Six points
Meanwhile, Republic of Ireland team-mate Liam Lawrence believes Giovanni Trapattoni's men can see off Russia in Dublin before toppling Slovakia next week.
"I think we can give anyone a game and we can beat anybody, and I do think that six points is within our reach," he said.
"They are two massive games, especially on Friday. It's going to be a really tough game, but we have come through these tough games in the past and we have got to again.
"They will be stung a little bit and they will be hurting from that defeat.
"I am not sure they will be looking forward to coming here, so hopefully we can catch them again and we can get the win."

Democratic elections, a mockery in Sri Lanka: Pandian
When there is an ongoing genocide and thousands of Tamil speaking people are still kept in concentration camps, when people are denied freedom of movement, when arrests, disappearances and rapes are being reported on a daily basis, when independent media is not allowed to visit and document the plight of the Tamil people, and when the country is behind an iron curtain, holding elections is a mockery, said D. Pandian, the state Secretary of the Communist Party of India in Tamil Nadu. The war was not conducted by the Sri Lankan government alone. It was aided by the Indian government. "As an Indian citizen, I am ashamed that the country of Buddha and Gandhi helped a murderous government to slaughter innocent people," he further said.
When the basic tenets of democracy are denied what is the farce of holding elections, Mr. Pandian asked.
Even the Sinhalase people are not going to be spared, which is already being evident, the senior communist party politician of India from Tamil Nadu said.
"We will continue to fight against the wrong policies of the Indian government."
"Only when the Tamil people get their freedom we will rest, till then we will continue to our battle," he said.
The elections are being held in Sri Lanka only to show the world that they are a 'democratically elected' government.
The world must raise its voice, Mr. Pandian urged.
Commenting on the world attitude to democracy in Sri Lanka, Tamil circles said that during the war many western countries abetted Sri Lanka citing that it is a democratically elected government fighting against LTTE 'blighting' it for a long time. The British Ambassador to the UN, the British Foreign Secretary and the French Foreign Minister went on record on this.
To what extent the world would able to be helpful in interpreting the result of the farce of elections in the island to resolve the crisis of Tamils remains to be seen, the Tamil circles said.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 60/505,468 filed Sep. 23, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
This invention is related to the field of electronic circuit design.
Very accurate or spectrally pure signals are needed in many applications in modern integrated circuit design. The spectral purity and the timing accuracy are just two ways of looking at the same characteristic of the signal. Spectral purity is a frequency domain measurement and jitter is a time domain measurement, however, these terms are often used interchangeably. One way to produce a low jitter signal on chip is to use an on chip LC (inductor-capacitor) tank oscillator.
The basic oscillator consists of a LC tank that sets the operating frequency of the signal, and an amplifier to make up for signal losses in the LC tank and to drive the signal to-the next stage. The frequency and the phase of the oscillator are maintained with a Phase Locked Loop (PLL), where the phase and frequency of the signal output by the oscillator is compared to an external reference signal. Adjustments to drifts in phase or frequency of the oscillator may be made by the PLL through a voltage control pin. This structure is known as a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO).
Desirable characteristics of the VCO are often wide frequency tuning range, low power dissipation, low phase noise or jitter, low sensitivity to the power supply voltage, stable output voltage, low harmonic content, small physical size, and a relatively simple design.
The frequency of the oscillator may be tuned with a device such as a voltage variable capacitor (varactor), that may be included as part of the capacitance of the tank. The oscillation is started by noise in the amplifier, or the LC tank being amplified by the amplifier, and filtered by the tank to cause an exponentially growing sinusoidal oscillation at the tank frequency.
Oscillation occurs when the amplifier characteristics (gain in units of transconductance−Iout/Vin), in consort with the tank impedance, produce a gain greater than unity. The amplitude of the oscillation is limited either by the amplifier running out of voltage swing room or current drive to the tank. In the interest of maintaining the lowest harmonic content, the least sensitivity to the power supply voltage, and the lowest possible power dissipation practical with on-chip inductor values, the amplitude is usually limited by the available drive current of the amplifier. It can be shown that the equivalent impedance of the tank varies with the square of the frequency. For a given drive current, the amplitude of the steady state sine wave varies with the square of the tuning range. In addition, the effective gain of the loop varies with the square of the tuning range. For wide tuning range VCOs, this causes numerous problems.
For example, if the gain (transconductance) of the amplifier is set high enough to ensure that the oscillation will build up at the lowest frequency, the power dissipation at higher frequencies is higher than desired. Also, the amplitude to frequency conversion process converts amplitude noise either from thermal sources or supply induced to phase noise and jitter.
In addition, the sensitivity of the frequency to the control voltage (Kvco) varies. The range of the variation of capacitance of the varactor is fixed by the design of the device. The range of control voltage that the capacitance variation occurs over is a function of the voltage swing of the sinusoid. This occurs because the varactor is a two terminal device referenced to the tank voltage. The voltage on the varactor is the difference between the control voltage and the instantaneous value of the tank voltage. It's effect on the frequency is the product of highly nonlinear control function of the varactor and the signal integrated over a cycle of the oscillation. Thus a larger swing of the sinusoid causes a smaller Kvco. This conventional design for the control device greatly complicates the design of the PLL due to its impact on the stability of the loop.
In one embodiment, an amplitude control loop circuit compares the amplitude of the oscillator sinusoid to a reference signal, and controls the drive current (and/or gain) based on the comparison, which stabilizes the amplitude of the oscillation. The control loop is relatively small, uses a low amount of power, and is easy to implement in integrated circuit applications.
Further details of aspects, objects, and advantages of the invention are described in the description, drawings, and claims.
In one example, amplitude control loop circuit as shown in
For example, if the amplitude of the signal that is output of the VCO is lower than desired, then the voltage level at node A rises, because the reference current signal 160 is larger than the representative oscillator current signal. If the amplitude of the oscillating signal is too high, then the voltage at node A is pulled down, because the current signal that is output of the rectifier 150 is greater than the reference current signal. If the amplitude of the oscillating signal is correct, then the voltage at node A is balanced by the reference current signal 160 and the current signal that is output from the rectifier 150, which are equal. This voltage from the dominant pole node is input to a transconductance amplifier 140, which converts the voltage signal to a control current signal. This control signal is received by a current source 130, which adjusts the current signal that it sends to the VCO based on the control current signal.
A diagram of the control circuit is shown in
Referring to
Since the current that current mirror M3, M4 is trying to source to node A is Ib, in the absence of a radio frequency (RF) signal on the gates of M1 and M2, the node A is pulled high. As the RF signal applied to the gates of M1 and M2 increases, the increase in the current of the transistor that is experiencing an increasing gate voltage is greater than the decrease in the current in the transistor that is experiencing a decreasing gate voltage. This is a result of the nonlinear relationship between drain current and gate voltage in a MOSFET. The nonlinearity is an exponential relationship in the region below threshold and becomes square law in the region just above threshold. This circuit may traverse both regions.
When the sum of the average current in M1 and M2 is equal to Ib, the node A is balanced in the middle. The gain of this circuit may be quite high due to the high output impedance of M3 and M1, M2. Examples of gain numbers for low currents range can from 30 to 60 decibels (dB) for this stage. This gain may be the majority of the loop gain for the system. The circuit may provide a highest gain when biased at low currents, and a least loading when the transistors are small. This helps to ensure that the impact of the level control circuit is negligible on the power and area budgets.
The voltage on node A drives the transconductance amplifier, including transistors M6 and R2. The sizing of M6 and R2 may be used to determine a maximum current that will be delivered to the mirror and therefore to the oscillator. The mirror may have a nominal current gain which can provide a little additional loop gain and may save some power. The current mirror gain can be, for example, 15 to 1. The current mirror can set the maximum current in worst case conditions, such as low inductance, high temperature, and/or minimum frequency.
The amplitude control loop compares the amplitude of the oscillator sinusoid to a reference, and controls the drive current (and gain), at a single node of the circuit, to stabilize the amplitude of the oscillation. For example, the circuit can regulate the current of the amplifier based on a comparison, at the single node, of a current that is output of a full wave rectifier to a fixed reference current. Furthermore, the rectifier output current can be integrated at the single node to provide a dominate pole at the single node for the stabilization system.
The dominant pole can be set by the capacitor on node A. Node A can be a very high impedance node, so the capacitor can be small. The capacitor may be a grounded capacitor with an applied voltage on it of more than a threshold (a result of the input stage of the transconductance amplifier design). Thus, a MOS inversion cap (N-channel MOSFET with the source, drain and substrate grounded) can be used to save considerable area over a regular capacitor. The non-dominant poles are the mirror pole and the effective low frequency pole set by the Q of the tank. Because a high Q tank may not change its amplitude quickly, and the loop is measuring the amplitude for its feedback, a pole is realized that is on the order of f/Q. For practical implementation on chip LC tanks, this is in the range of hundreds of Megahertz, and may not be a concern.
This design to control the VCO amplitude provides a system which is more stable than open loop methods. For example, unlike the open loop methods, which increase the operating current of the oscillator amplifier as more capacitors are switched in to keep the amplitude from dropping too much, providing a circuit to control the amplitude of the VCO reduces the effects of process variations and therefore can be much more stable.
The VCO amplitude control design also uses less power than a design which uses dual emitter followers as rectifiers, and, unlike the design which uses dual emitter followers, the design which uses the amplitude control circuit does not need a separate control loop amplifier.
The VCO amplitude control design can combine a ripple filter for the rectifier with a loop filter. Therefore, this approach has the advantage of a single filter for the rectifier and for the loop. This prevents a potential second pole in the transfer function, and therefore increases the stability of the control loop.
The VCO amplitude control circuit allows for a wider tuning range for the VCO. The control circuit can lower an amount of phase noise by reducing the conversion of amplitude noise to phase noise. The circuit also provides:
In one embodiment, the voltage controlled oscillator with the amplitude control circuit can be part of a phase locked loop that is used to generate transmit and receive clocks in a serializer-deserializer (SerDes). By using the AC coupled swing control circuit of
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications, substitutions of components, and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than restrictive sense.

Conservation in SFID significant after drought warning
Conservation in SFID significant after drought warning
In the six weeks since the Santa Fe Irrigation District's level 2 drought restrictions went into effect, the district is reporting that its conservation efforts have been successful. Demand for water is down 22 percent and the district only used 62 percent of its imported water allocation from San Diego County Water Authority, according to Michael Bardin, general manager.
Bardin said that the reduction represents an "absolutely fantastic" response by the community conserving water.
"The public got it," Bardin said. "They got the message and have generally curtailed water usage. That is a success story."
Bard President Michael Hogan said due to the success so far, they might want to review their policies before November, when the once-a-week watering takes effect.
"We may be able to be more flexible if we continue with this trend," Hogan said.
The district's mandatory restrictions went into effect on July 1. Due to the drought, water delivery from the district's primary supplier, the water authority, are being reduced by 8 percent for fiscal year 2010. Because the irrigation district also draws water from Lake Hodges, they set a conservation goal of 6 percent.
In July, the district's demand was down 22 percent from the base year. The base year is what the district refers to as a "dry year," or a year with the highest water demand.
As a result of the low demand in July, the district was able to take less imported water and use more of their local water. Bardin said it's good to come right out the gates with a little "breathing room" on their water authority deliveries.
The summer water restrictions limited customers to landscape watering to three days a week. Five customers in the district applied for variances, three of which were approved, Bardin said.
One variance was allowed for a home that burned down during the Witch Creek Fire. The homeowners are trying to rehabilitate their landscape planting and asked for a temporary, three-month variance.
Another variance was given to a horse training facility, as they need to keep their arena soil wet for the animals as part of their business permit.
Variances that weren't approved included homeowners who wished to change their watering schedule to match their gardener's visits, Bardin said.
The third variance was given to the district's largest customer, the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The club uses weather-based irrigation controllers, and the three-day schedule would make the system less efficient, Bardin said.
The club is in the midst of a $3 million retrofit of its sprinkler system that could result in a 10 percent reduction in water use.
"They are a very efficient water user even though they are our largest user," Bardin said.

Williams won 6-1, 6-3. AFP PHOTO / JAVIER SORIANO Serena Williams was simply too good for Victoria Azarenka as she crushed the world number one in the final of the 2012 Madrid Masters.Watch and bet on live WTA Tennis at bet365>livestreaming>tennis.Victoria Azarenka is the number one ranked women's tennis player and the Belarusian is having an incredible year, with four WTA titles, including the Australian Open, already won. However, there remains question marks over the 22-year-old and that is because Serena Williams has been injured.The American may not have won a Grand Slam title since 2010 but she is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best female tennis player on tour and she proved it again by crushing Azarenka 6-1, 6-3 in the final of the Madrid Masters.It was a powerful and dominant display from Serena, who broke her opponents serve in the opening game of the match without needing deuce and then simply bowled the world number one over with a display that evoked memories of her mid 2000s pomp.The 30-year-old will leap up the world rankings thanks to Sunday's win and that means that she will definitely be one of the top seeds at the French Open. On this form, no-one will be able to live with Williams and she will win a 14th career Grand Slam title.Serena Williams is a current best price of 7/2 at Blue Square to win the 2012 French Open.

Do You Know Where Are You Going To... Is what you are left to ask yourself and even to your friends, because Love has you so confused and yet so badly in need of it. And you just don't seem to know where to turn, since each time that you think you have found love, it turns out to be the wrong love for you.And you have to ask yourself: Do you know where are you going to? Because you are getting older by the day, and none of your plans are coming to fruition, as well you are getting so sick and tired of Happiness eluding you. Well today I intend to explore with you where you are going in life, whether you are going In Love like you were meant to be, or Out Of Love like you never want to be without.
And really Fellow Romantic, why is Love so hard, and why does it mess up your life so much?And because of love you do not know whether you are coming or going, or whether you are up or down. And you have conquered all other areas of your life, and yet this one area of romance, of perfect union, of finding your soul mate, of being completely in love has you baffled. And you just want to get past this and find your other half, so you could go on and accomplish all that God has set out for you to do through Destiny. And you are a slave to Love because you are one of the few souls who fully understand that when you're in love, you could easily walk through the deep fires of stress and disasters and not blink. And you know as well that: One person could only do so much, but two people are all it takes to conquer the whole world. Also, one could put a thousand to flight and two could put ten thousand. Additionally, one person can see and fight what is in front of him or her, but two can stand back to back and fight off a whole army.
So you are on the right path of wanting and needing love, but why can't your Lover understand love the way you do? And why can't he or she join you on the journey and path that you are on, so you two could play beautiful music together? And on top of that, why are you so misunderstood when you have so much love inside you to give away? I help you to answer all these.
Your lover can not understand you and the love that is so full inside you, because He or she has their own journey to travel on. And they are not trying to hurt you, or disrespect you, or betray your love, but they have made their own plans with the Universe and have all kind of things they want to experience. And so you would have to sit them down time and time again, and explain the path of deep love you want to travel on, and ask them to join you. But the problem is, you usually expect them to automatically know how much and what kind of perfect love you want, just because they tell you: I Love You. No my friend you have to make your case of just how much you need them to help you in love at least weekly, and take nothing for granted.
As to why they can't join you so you two could play beautiful music together? When you are putting together a band to play at the Opera House at Carnegie Hall, you do not just grab the first person who comes along that can play the violin. No, you must interview quite a few people, then you must share your vision and you have to test them to see if they have that same vision. And then only pick the very best of the very best. But with Your Heart and Love, which are the 2 greatest possessions in the world, you just choose anyone who comes along because you are so lonely, or because you are so sexually aroused. And that is where the problem is, because you do not interview anybody, and then you do not test their vision of love to see if it matches your vision of love, and then you do not pick the very best of the very best for your heart and love. And this is why you two are on 2 different planets and can not play beautiful music together.
And then why You are so misunderstood?
Just take a look at our current President of this country, or any other Presidents for that matter, and you will see that they are all great Leaders. In that they make sure that every inch of what they want to accomplish is fully understood. And they don't ask why they are so misunderstood, but make it their very business to be understood by the whole Country at all times. And this is how come they get so many votes, and so many people to follow them. And so it must be with you, for you must always, by any means you can think of, make sure that you are understood as to who you are, the kind of perfect love you have in your heart, the great faithfulness that you have within your veins, and all the purity of a perfect wife or husband that you have inside you. So write a letter if you have, take out an Ad if you must, make a video if that's what it takes, send a telegram if you must but make sure that you are completely understood.
Do You Know Where Are You Going To... In Love Or Out Of Love?
Now that you know all the right steps to take, then that is entirely up to you. Because Love is completely unbiased, and it will give itself to whomever wants to use it to the full extent. But you have to be prepared to fight hard, you have to be determined, you have to persevere, and you have to never compromise in what you want Love to bring to you, so you could always know where you are going to, and that is definitely In Love.

9th November 2010. It's been wet & windy for the last few days - and according to the forecast we're due more of the same today and tomorrow.
There was a tragic accident at St Jean de Luz on Sunday - a young kite surfer was lifted up and carried away off the beach by an exceptionally strong gust of wind up to the top of a 7 storey apartment block from where he fell to his death.
I was just flicking through YouTube looking for clips of storms at St Jean de Luz when I came across this one.. It's not St Jean de Luz though. Life has clearly lost its thrill for these two.. (ignore the first 28 seconds)
The storms at Biarritz were covered on TF1 at lunchtime today:
Well, after that review of a damp few days down here in the Pays Basque, what else could I offer you but:
There are a few places I mean to visit in the coming months: the fromagerie Iraty at Mendive, the écomusée de Marquèze at Sabres and the chocolaterie Puyodebat at Cambo.
Regular readers (you can be helped..) will have guessed by now that I'm a Woody Allen fan. Here's one of the more memorable scenes from "Manhattan" - in less than a minute he wraps up the key elements in his personality: his eternal romanticism, his love of New York and the great American standards - in this case, the lush strings of the New York Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta with George Gershwin's 1926 classic "Someone to watch over me":
I must be getting old.. I find I can listen to Ol' Blue Eyes nowadays without wanting to reach for the 'off' button.. which is something of a 'first' for me..
Also - by the standards of any era - Ava Gardner was/is stunningly beautiful.
Note to self: why has it taken me so long to realise this?

Uh-Oh, Someone's Doing Extra Debate Prep This Week
Two weeks from now, a very healthy Hillary will totally smoke Donald at the first debate. And in the aftermath, some people will realize that staying home this week to rest and do extra debate prep might have made a difference. Strange how life works out sometimes.
Pneumonia is no fun, but Hillary will recover, make the best of it, and be back better than ever in a matter of days.
Get well soon, Madam President!

that is so Hillary, to be forced to rest. I think she'd smoke him as well without restful pneumonia, but the treatment for pneumonia is anti-biotics, liquids and rest, the treatment doesn't include active campaigning. It includes not letting anyone cough on you.ReplyDelete
but I still want some 'pneumonia home-'n-hearth chats, is that wrong of me?Replies
Not wrong of you at all.Delete
BTW, don't these bozos see the obvious downside with this "Hillary is weak and dying" stuff? They are lowering the bar for her big time. When she shows up healthy and energetic at rallies and debates soon, it will be a great "comeback" story.

MICHELE NORRIS, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Michele Norris.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
And I'm Melissa Block.
The other day, Fuchsia Dunlop came by my kitchen, and she was brandishing a cleaver.
Ms. FUCHSIA DUNLOP (Author, "Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook"): I always carry my own cleaver.
BLOCK: She got down to business with some garlic cloves.
Ms. DUNLOP: Whack the cloves with (unintelligible) side of the cleaver.
(Soundbite of laughter)
BLOCK: Stay away that cleaver.
(Soundbite of cutting sound)
Ms. DUNLOP: This is (unintelligible), which means garlic - sort of rice grains, literally, because as you can see, I'm cutting it very fine like this.
(Soundbite of cutting sound)
BLOCK: Fuchsia Dunlop has always loved food and cooking and collecting recipes. Her work as a journalist took her to China. One thing led to another, and she ended up training as a Chinese chef in Sichuan province. She was the first foreigner to study full time at the famous Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine. And she went on to write a Sichuan cookbook. Now, she's turned her attention to Hunanese cooking - Hunan, like Sichuan, famous for its spicy food. Hunan is also famous as the home province of many revolutionaries - most notably, Mao Tse-Tung.
Ms. DUNLOP: Actually, Chairman Mao said that you couldn't be revolutionary if you didn't eat chilis. There's a link between eating hot food and being kind of fiery in personality as well.
BLOCK: And so Fuchsia Dunlop's new cookbook is titled, "Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook: Recipes from Hunan Province".
Ms. DUNLOP: Outsiders will ask people visiting Hunan (Chinese spoken) - are you afraid of chili heat? And there's also - there's another rhyme, which is quite amusing, which is Sichuan (Chinese spoken).
And that means, the Sichuanese are not afraid of chili heat. And however hot it is, the people of Guadjo(ph) are not afraid. But the Hunanese are afraid of food that is not hot.
(Soundbite of laughter)
(Soundbite of cutting sound)
Ms. DUNLOP: I'm cutting it into thin slices here.
BLOCK: Hunanese cooking is known for its bold mix of contrasting flavors. Much of it is rustic, simple peasant food. And today, Fuchsia Dunlop is making one of the most common, everyday Hunanese dishes. It's said to have a favorite of Chairman Mao: home-style bean curd. There are lots of versions of this dish.
Ms. DUNLOP: And this particular version, I guess I owe it a lot to my friend, Fan Chun's(ph) family. They live in this farmhouse in a beautiful valley in the remote north of Hunan province. And it's a place where you sit outside on summer days, and the bean curd vendor would actually come through the village with the bamboo slats on his shoulder, carrying baskets full of home-made bean curd. And her mother would make this dish from it.
(Soundbite of cutting sound)
BLOCK: Our bean curd comes in plastic tub from an Asian market.
Ms. DUNLOP: The first thing with the bean curd is that you want to just put a -fry it in oil until it's golden and crisp. So that will give it a really nice (unintelligible) and make it more delicious as well.
BLOCK: (unintelligible)
Ms. DUNLOP: (Chinese spoken). Yeah, something that you hear about in Chinese (unintelligible). He has spoke to describe, you know, the texture of ingredients, like (unintelligible) crispness of, you know, fresh vegetables (unintelligible). Or the tenderness of the piece of meat. But also, the form into which things are cut - so, you know, where you have stir fried meat that's cut into fine slivers. It will be very be very nice, sort of slinky in the mouth. Okay.
BLOCK: Fuchsia Dunlop has cut the tofu into pretty triangles, and it goes into the wok.
(Soundbite of cooking oil boiling)
BLOCK: You can find the recipe for home-style bean curd at our Web site, npr.org. I'll give you the abbreviated version. When the tofu is golden, it comes out of the wok, in goes slivers of pork tenderloin, some Shaoxing rice wine.
(Soundbite of cooking oil boiling)
Ms. DUNLOP: It's supposed to improve and refine the flavor of the pork.
BLOCK: And two kinds of chili. The sauce in the wok turns a bubbly crimson, and the pungent scent of heat fills my house.
Ms. DUNLOP: So you can see it speckled with the red of the chilis.
BLOCK: It's starting to look a little daunting.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. DUNLOP: It's not a part of the (unintelligible).
BLOCK: A couple of shiitake mushrooms go in, and the minced garlic.
Ms. DUNLOP: Now, when that's all right (unintelligible) and delicious, I'm need to add some salt.
(Soundbite of cooking oil boiling)
Ms. DUNLOP: About a cup full of that. And a little bit of (unintelligible) for (unintelligible) the color.
(Soundbite of cooking oil boiling)
Ms. DUNLOP: Put the bean curd back in the sauce.
BLOCK: And it's smelling wonderful.
Ms. DUNLOP: You want the bean curd to be just sitting in the sauce - though not lots and lots of liquid, but barely covered to rue away, to send in the flavor.
BLOCK: Send in the flavor?
Ms. DUNLOP: Yeah. Something that Chinese chefs talk a lot about (unintelligible).
BLOCK: At the end, Fuchsia Dunlop tosses in a sliced galleons and drizzles on one final flavor.
Ms. DUNLOP: And then finally, I'm going to switch off the heat and add just a little bit of sesame oil. It's not really used as a cooking oil in Chinese cooking. It's added at the end of recipes (unintelligible) dishes after cooking. And to teach (unintelligible) to add fragrance, a wonderful nutty, toasted sesame aroma.
(Soundbite of cooking oil boiling)
Ms. DUNLOP: There you are.
(Soundbite of pots banging)
BLOCK: What do you say in a - what's the equivalent of bon apetit in Chinese?
Ms. DUNLOP: Well, you can say (Chinese spoken), which means that to take your time, enjoy the meal.
(Soundbite of laughter)
BLOCK: Now, I confess, I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy food. But the heat in this bean curd dish is a beautifully controlled burn, a rich dancing glow in the mouth.
Mm. You don't really taste the heat until the end.
Ms. DUNLOP: Hm.
BLOCK: So remember that question?
Ms. DUNLOP: (Chinese spoken). Are you afraid of chili heat?
BLOCK: Nope, not this time. Fuchsia Dunlop says the Hunanese consider their province the beating heart of China, producing those fiery leaders who changed the destiny of their country. Her book is titled "Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook: Recipes from Hunan Province". You can find recipes at our Web site for home-style bean curd, along with Chairman Mao's red braised pork and General Tso's chicken, which Dunlop unmasks as an inauthentic Hunanese dish. Those recipes are at npr.org.
