_6:35PM CST: 3sIntel [BellaGrits] THE MIRROR: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
When you looked in the mirror today, for example; did you see a person still trapped in the tyranny of poverty or challenging circumstances?
When you looked in the mirror, who "did" you see? Is it only tomorrow or the next day, perhaps when the revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar comes-- will you see the person "redefined" by your wealth then?
Read More Link On Right
Will it be only after you have cashed in via the bank will you look into the mirror and see the person of wealth and influence?
[BellaGrits] Will it be when the RV has finally hit the banks, you see the person of abundance and affluence that you ALREADY are?
We must know money will never define us; we may think it will--but it's our character and our hearts that will define us--not our wallet.
When, I ask you, will you see in the eyes "of the person looking back," this road we have endured together has helped forge the person we will become?
[BellaGrits] When, I ask you, do you look in the mirror and see the person you should/could be. Our time is at hand to ask the hard questions of ourselves.
It is NOT what we will do with the money that will be important; however, who will the person in the mirror be when we are blessed with the abundance of the RV???
[BellaGrits] Will we carry ourselves with grace, with dignity, with our humble hearts, with our giving hands….a proud person, a respected person, an example to lead and provide for our friends, family, and strangers….
Who and what will you see? It's worth the time to give some thought….. Who are you in the mirror, and who will you become? ……………….BellaGrits

I literally had to put a note on my door telling the neighbors I was sick and had a headache and to keep the noise down and to be considerate of others. We shall see if I have a quieter weekend. Oh and my headaches are back with a vengance.

Pope's Battling Boy Gets Screenwriter
Battling BoyMoving on from Watchmen, screenwriter Alex Tse will next adapt Paul Pope's Battling Boy for Brad Pitt's Plan B production company and Paramount Pictures. The graphic novel is to be published by First Second in early 2010.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "The story line follows the son of a god who comes down from the top of a mountain at his father's urging to rid the giant, continent-sized city of Monstropolis of a plague of beasts."
This is Tse's third genre project coming up – the screenwriter is also working on the live-action adaptation of Ninja Scroll for Leonardo DiCaprio's Apppian Way as well as an updated adaptation of Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man for director Zach Snyder.
Meanwhile, Plan B is working on David Fincher directed adaptations of The Killer, Black Hole and World War Z.

The first daring idea was to make this post totally blank as the Allen Carr did in his book, but then I decide to add some thoughts. The main one I've mentioned many times before is that if you believe that smoking helps you to relax or concentrate or both, you probably will have hard times while trying to quit smoking. Learn more about nicotine addiction to understand why are you craving for the next cigarette and why you feel more 'balanced' after it. It's very simple - just because your addiction is satisfied. If you are going to lose your illusions about smoking value - you will get more chances to quit smoking for good and stay clean forever.
Smoking is a dangerous and deadly addiction, but smokers come up with thousands of reasons not to quit. Moreover, nicotine is a stimulant, but most of smokers believe that it's like a magic drug that helps a lot with anxiety, depression and really helps them to deal with the stress. Numerous documented negative health effects of smoking can't help smokers to quit while they believe that there are some advantages of smoking. So, here is my simple advice - find out that there are no real advantages of smoking cigarettes, change your mind and quit smoking easily.

Calderwood could leave Dons
Jimmy Calderwood may be set to step down as Aberdeen boss unless he receives financial backing.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 08/01/08 10:03am
Jimmy Calderwood may be set to step down as Aberdeen boss unless he receives the financial backing he requires from the club's board.
The Dons have eight players out of contract in the summer and as yet Calderwood has not been reassured that the money will be made available to keep them at the club.
Aberdeen have called a press conference for Tuesday afternoon when the futures of Barry Nicholson, Michael Hart, Chris Clark and Alexander Diamond will likely be revealed, but with Lee Miller, Steve Lovell, Richie Byrne, Derek Soutar and the manager himself also waiting on new deals, Calderwood admits that he cannot guarantee he will be in charge at Pittodrie for much longer.
"It's not clear cut but until I've actually signed a new contract, leaving the club remains a possibility," he said.
"I hope it doesn't come to that because I want to stay here, but it is how much others want me to stay that is really going to matter.
"We'll see what develops over the next few days.
"The coaching staff and I will see how things go on the player front this week, then decide what we plan to do.
"If they leave it will be a huge blow, I don't see how we could take four players of that quality in during the transfer window.
"We feel we've done well here but it's now a case of seeing how far the directors are willing to take things forward."

For When You're Stressing Out Over Christmas
- Jennifer Heeren Crosswalk Contributing Writer
- 2014 4 Dec
But the Lord said to her, "My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:41-42).
In the days leading up to Christmas, I can act just like Martha if I'm not careful. I get worried about everything that has to get done. Will I find the perfect present for everyone on my list? Did I get everything I need at the grocery store for that new recipe? Is the house clean enough for guests who will be visiting? Can I lose ten pounds before that dress-up affair? Moreover, where will I get the money to pay for all of the extras?
December is full of so many extra things to think about. The most wonderful time of the year can also be a most stressful time of excess. A fuller than normal schedule can leave me feeling tired. Higher than normal spending can leave my wallet empty and my credit balance high. An excessive supply of chocolate and sweet goodies wherever I look can expand my waistline. And worry over all of these areas can make me feel just plain exhausted.
Just like Martha, I can be worried and upset over all of the details, details, and more details. There are plenty of them all year round, but it seems like there are even more in the month of December.
Picture how your own schedule gets altered during December. The hustle and bustle can easily become the harried and overwhelmed.
SEE ALSO: Why Christmas is for Joy and Advent is for Longing
Maybe this year I would feel the Christmas spirit more if I took time to do more pausing and reflecting. My house doesn't have to be perfectly decorated. I can eat some of the treats of the season without partaking of all of them (even thought that is easier said than done). I can buy smaller, less expensive presents that really mean something to the person instead of buying the latest and greatest to impress them. I can buy some Christmas cookies at the bakery to serve my friends when I don't have enough time to bake anything myself. This could allow me to concentrate on talking with them instead of worrying about what I'll serve them. Moreover, I can simply spend time with friends and family and give them the gift of fellowship instead of spending money that I don't have.
Is it the food, the shopping, and the money that makes Christmas special? Or is there something more? Is it the love and caring that seems to be more abundant in December that makes Christmas special? The latter is definitely more important than the former, but is there still more?
Yes, there is more. Most of all, the birth of Jesus in the book of Luke in the Bible should be cherished and re-read, not only in December but all year long. The more I cherish that, the more grateful I will become and all of those other details become less and less. As Jesus becomes greater, I and my ideas become less. The hymn, "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus," by Helen Howarth Lemmel speaks of this very idea:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in his wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
SEE ALSO: What You Might Not Know about the Charlie Brown Christmas Special
God sent his only begotten son into the world. He came into the world to bless the world. He lived a perfect life and showed us the way to live. He showed us that the more humble we are, the more pleased God is. He died as a perfect sacrifice so that justice would prevail and sin could be forgiven.
This, after all, is worth being concerned about. Let us fix our eyes on the baby in the manger and all that he represents this Christmas and feel the peace that he came to bring us.
Will everyone around you like this newfound ideal for Christmastime? I think most people will because most people are looking for a little relaxation and peace at this busy time of the year. But…there might be people in your life that won't like it. Of course, they're probably just jealous of your calmness in the midst of their anxiety. Pour yourself a cup of hot apple cider, breathe in its soothing aroma, and remember, just who you are trying to please anyway—God or people? When I seek to please God first, people will ultimately be blessed anyway, in spite of themselves.

Course lecturers: Prof. Javier Corrales
MA5. POLITICAL ECONOMY OF COMMODITY DEPENDENCE: Oil and Drugs in Venezuela and Colombia Compared
This course focuses on the political economy of resource dependence in developing countries, with a special focus on Venezuela and Colombia in comparative perspective. To what extent are natural resources a "curse?" This curse refers to the neo-structuralist idea that an abundance of natural resources is detrimental for development.
In the case of Venezuela, the key resources are oil and increasingly drugs, and in Colombia, drugs and increasingly oil. Some scholars argue that natural resource dependence distorts economic incentives (away from diversification) and harms politics (by facilitating corruption, raising the stakes of power-holding, increasing the chance for abuse of state power, weakening society's capacity to hold the state accountable, and increasing the probability of civil strife).
To what extent do these claims help us understand the political economy of Venezuela and Colombia since the 1960s. To address this question, we will: 1) compare the resource-curse argument with other competing theories of development that might account for Venezuelan and Colombian politics; and 2) compare these cases with other cases in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
Form of instruction and assessment
During the course, different countries, topics and scholarly approaches are discussed. The seven sessions consist of a two-hour lecture and a working group session. Evaluation will be based on individual and class assignments and a final paper. The deadline for the final paper is 27 June 2017.
Literature (provisional)
We will read excerpts from:
Collier, Paul (2007) The Bottom Billion. Oxford University Press.
Corrales, Javier and Michael Penfold (2015) Dragon in the Tropics: Venezuela and the Legacy of Hugo Chávez. Brookings Press.
And a number of short readings on drugs, Colombia, and Venezuela.

Horrifying footage of youngster being kicked in the head during BRUTAL fight goes viral
THIS is the disturbing moment a schoolboy was brutally kicked in the head as a group of youngsters watch on.
The shocking footage, thought to have been filmed in Glasgow, shows the boy being repeatedly hit in the head before being dragged to the ground and kicked in the face.
It has been viewed more than 18,000 times after it was uploaded to a Facebook page called "Glesga Banta".
The 27-second clip starts with one of the boys, dressed in a school blazer, attempting to rugby tackle the other before lunging at his waist.
The brutal fight is thought to have taken place in a Glasgow park
The other boy, wearing a grey hooded top, then retaliates by kneeing the other boy's face and lifting his blazer over his head.
The pupil in the hooded top then launches a vicious kick impacting directly with the face of his rival, leaving the boy grunting in pain.
In the clip, a voice can be heard saying: "That was a smashing scrap."
The youngster in the hoodie is then seen shrugging his shoulders and walking away as the other boy is left motionless and curled up in a ball on what appears to be a park pathway.
Injured and visibly distressed, the boy on the ground is seen holding his face before trying to get to his feet.
Disgusted Facebook users have been sharing and posting reactions to the shocking footage.
One wrote: "Someone would have to do something very bad to me or my family for me to kick them when their down, especially in the face. So cowardly."
Another added: "Clearly watching too much UFC."

Morning Musume @ Best Buy Theater NYC (Oct. 5, 2014)
I haven't photographed any Japanese musicians in about a year, so it was a pleasant surprise to get a phone call from an old friend about covering the Morning Musume concert in NYC. You'll most likely find the rest of the photos at RESONANCE Media. Hopefully they'll spread to other media/news sites from there. […]

Happy IMD, everyone! The who in the what now? International Men's Day!
Ah, men. Sweet, strong men. Dependable, delectable men. Brave, baffling men. I think deep down, when-the-chips-are-down deep down, men and women are not that different from each other. But there are things, moments, insights, I've had the pleasure of experiencing only around men. Coincidence? Probably. Conclusive? Hardly. Fascinating? Absolutely.
Let's see...
The point of storage space is having extra storage space. Not actually storing things in those closets and on those shelves but having the option to do so.
When in doubt, don't consult the instruction manual, your partner, friend or anyone else for that matter. It's always best to keep your own counsel, because...
...if you want something done well, you're going to have to do it yourself. Even if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing.
If you think the grocery list reads 22 pounds of flour, don't question your partner's handwriting or sanity, don't exercise your own judgment, don't call home. Buy 22 pounds of flour. Go home. Your partner: "What am I going to do with 22 pounds of flour?" You: "That's what I'd like to know."
If you can't find a product on that list, don't consider another brand, not even if it looks and sounds identical. Again, don't call home. Buy nothing instead.
If you get sick, always turn it into a big production because if you're just a little sick you're not really sick. Better make it known one foot is firmly in the grave or else you have no business being sick. If you're really really honest to God sick, even then you're not really sick because you're The Man, the man everyone depends on, for everything. Everyone knows that. Especially you. Seek help when your head falls off. Take it under your arm and calmly tell the horrified hospital staff, "It's nothing." *death grunts* "Seriously. Nothing." *more death grunts*
Technology is your friend. Even when it is your foe. Even when pen and paper would have accomplished the same task in ten minutes, maybe five, it is nothing compared to the sense of triumph you feel after dueling with a piece of equipment or programming for five, maybe ten hours and coming on top. You may not be able to repeat the miracle, but then again victory wouldn't taste as sweet if anybody could do it whenever they wanted to, including you.
Get what I'm getting at? Having said all that, I will say this: I can't imagine life without my father or brother, my husband or sons, my friends or fantasy men, the male leads of my books. They've made me happy. They have never stood me up, they have stood by me. They have shown me a good time. They've made me feel all woman.
As for the woman haters I've had the misfortune of crossing paths with... Oh but you're missing out on all the affection and admiration women have in store for alpha males and deltas alike. You're still in the beta stage. Not beyond redemption but not exactly doing anything to improve gender relations, promote gender equality or act as a positive male role model, what International Men's Day is all about.
Ladies! Today, let's give the men in our lives an extra big kiss, huge hug or long call, just to let them know the world wouldn't be the same without them. I'll leave you in the big, capable hands of one Alexander Rifkin. There's a book making the rounds of the literary world and changing the look of covers with its subdued colors and subtle hints. Well, you don't need a suit and tie to get my attention. Flesh tones and a little (or lot, your call) skin still works for me. *sigh* When they're beautiful, they're beautiful.
[You can ogle at my Alex standing to your right (scroll up a bit) and/or watch this most excellent and educational little film: 'Furballs,' or, how to inspect your 'guineas' for any abnormalities.]

text: The authors (both professors of French at Dickerson College) present a college-level textbook designed to serve in classes teaching cultural competency within French departments beyond the relatively superficial areas such as food and dress. They take a thematic and issue-based approach to the material, providing four separate sections on history and memory, the challenge of competing voices to social cohesion, issues of equality, and the effects of globalization and Americanization. Respective examples of the 11 different issue-based chapters include discussions of the construction of Joan of Arc as a French national heroine, questions of language and power in Quebec, the debate over discrimination positive (or affirmative action) at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris, and agricultural activist Jose Bove's resistance to McDonalds and the Americanization of French food.

Sustainable Capital ? The Neoliberalization of Nature and Knowledge in the European "Knowledge-based Bio-economy"
As an EU policy agenda, the "knowledge-based bio-economy" (KBBE) emphasizes bio-technoscience as the means to reconcile environmental and economic sustainability. This frames the sustainability problem as an inefficiency to be overcome through a techno-knowledge fix. Here ecological sustainability means a benign eco-efficient productivity using resources which are renewable, reproducible and therefore sustainable. The KBBE narrative has been elaborated by European Technology Platforms in the agri-food-forestry-biofuels sectors, whose proposals shape research priorities. These inform policy agendas for the neoliberalization of both nature and knowledge, especially through intellectual property. In these ways, the KBBE can be understood as a new political-economic strategy for sustainable capital . This strategy invests great expectations for unlocking the productive potential of natural resources through a techno-knowledge fix. Although eco-efficiency is sometimes equated with biological productivity, commercial success will be dependent upon new combinations of "living" and "dead" labour.

text: Hi there. Ok, so far I love my EVO, but one thing that is really driving me crazy. With my Blackberry I had grown accustomed to streaming my music from my phone to a bluetooth stereo gateway in my car and my home. My BB sounded GREAT doing this. But the EVO has a really grungy crackling sound, especially when there is loud high frequency content, such as a lot of cymbals, etc. Some songs sound better than others depending on how they were recorded, but by in large it's very annoying. Even my wife, who is nowhere nearly as picky as I am about sound quality complains about it. I've tried to put up with it, but usually I resort to plugging directly into the aux jack. What a letdown for such an otherwise advanced phone! Is anyone else experiencing this? The research I've done so far indicates the the problem is that Android is locked at a relatively low "bitpool" setting, which is ok for voice, but doesn't provide the necessary bandwidth for decent music quality. Thus far I haven't found way to adjust this. Does anyone know of a solution, or if there is a solution coming? Will this be addressed in Froyo? It just sucks to have to plug my phone in again just to get decent sound quality.

Who doesn't like a good end of sale bargain (or discount codes for 'new in' stock)...?!I've come across quite a few discount codes this week, so thought I'd share them with you for you to get an extra super discounted purchase or two.

It's the end of another week.
On the one side, there was plenty to read about the topic of love, which is to be expected. And on the other side, many people, myself included, were talking about a particular movie (one that, apparently, is not even that great. I told you it would be boring.)
In My Blog Reader
I did not have time to read all of the comments that people are making about Fifty Shades, but I did read and appreciate Emily Wierenga's comments. There are so many times when we as Christians think we need to absorb everything in order to be culturally relevant. Or we think that nothing can hurt us. But there are still boundaries and sometimes all the shades of grey are really black and white.
The debate over yoga pants, of all things, continues to rage on in some corners of the internet. And while this debate rolls on, Lore Ferguson takes aim at the issue and shows just how fruitless this whole discussion will probably end up becoming.
In the ongoing discussion of ISIS and Islamic extremism, it's become apparent that some of us react by digging in our heels, puffing our chests, and declaring that we are without sin (we being Christians, Americans, or both.) Zack Hunt calls all of us to a place of humility even as we confront a very real threat.
Switching gears, I completely sympathized as a teacher with Abby Norman in All Schools Are Full of Humans. When did under-privileged education become a "pet project."
And finally, in thinking about our own struggle and pain through infertility, I was really encouraged by Kristen Welch's discussion of what we can do to love our neighbors in our pain.
Those are the writers that most encouraged, challenged and fueled me this week. See you next time!

The Blessing Trailer (2009)
Overwhelmed and extra-sensitive, Katrine has a hard time coping when her more relaxed boyfriend, Andreas, takes a business trip just days after the birth of their first child. The fussy baby has difficulty breastfeeding, and vulnerable, insecure Katrine feels like a failure. When Katrine's emotionally withholding mother Lise consents to stay for a few days, the two quickly fall into what are clearly familiar dysfunctional behavior patterns.

Career highlights: Sell-out runs of his Chopper-inspired shows in Adelaide, Melbourne and London. Coming gigs Chopper v Heath Franklin (Adelaide Fringe Festival, February 17-March 18) and Chopper's 3rd Annual Bonza You Bewdy G'day Big F---in Anzac Day Show (April 25, Enmore Theatre).
The number of cars I've owned: 6
The age I first steered a car: 11
Car lover gauge: 4 out of 5
What was your first car?
The first car I ever had was my mum's old car - a Holden Astra that must have been about a 1992 or something like that. But the first car I ever loved was my dad's old car, which was a '92 VP Holden Calais.
In the end, I think the Astra was deemed to be more appropriate for my sister and the Calais was decided to be better for me. I didn't argue too much about that. It suited my teenage hoon lifestyle a little bit better and I drove it for six or seven years.
What are you driving now?
A Nissan X-Trail. It's got tonnes of room for kids' stuff and dogs, so for filling up with holiday junk it's a bit like the Tardis. We decided to get one with the smaller engine - I think it's a two-litre - so I don't think I'll get any speeding fines in it any time soon.
What's your ideal car?
When I was a kid I was a little bit fascinated with '67 Chevys. They just looked really cool. But I have to admit I'm getting a bit sentimental these days and if someone could dig up a snotty green '92 Calais I'd be pretty interested in that if it was in good nick.
What's your pet road peeve?
Almost anything. I think anyone who doesn't drive exactly like I do just infuriates me.
Actually, my one lasting memory over the past year was when I was travelling along the M2. Some guy came past in a Jaguar with a body kit. It just looked awful. All the English refinement had been stripped away and it just looked cheap and horrible. He was cruising along in the bus lane like he owned the place.
There's something about that guy that still makes me close my fists to this day - self-centred, self-deserving, smug, much better than everyone else type of thing, combined with the fact he was obviously an idiot for the way his car looked. I can give you his number plate, too, if you're interested. That's how much of a lasting impression he left.
Your favourite drive?
I've done a couple of fairly sizeable tours of New Zealand over the past few years and the drive from the Marlborough region down past Kaikoura to Christchurch is always spectacular, with black-sand beaches on the left and snow-capped mountains on the right.
What's your favourite road movie?
Definitely Smokey and the Bandit - Burt Reynolds screaming down the highway in a Trans Am, all the cops crashing behind him.

Thirty-five orphan girls. Adult characters bigger-than-life like their comic strip counterparts. The smiles and spontaneity that children possess. Put it all together, and you have the musical Annie, Jr., the current production of Hendersonville Little Theatre. A cast of 50, replete with children, on a small stage is both a challenge and a novelty for HLT. While some technical problems were evident, the warmth of the main characters and the orphans carry us willingly into an era where sentimentality and heart-felt emotions had not yet been eroded by cynicism.
Annie (Elizabeth Thompson) possesses a stage presence and a singing voice that charms both the audience and gruff, tough Daddy Warbucks. She instinctively gives various shades of emotion which engage us at a heart level. Paul Shiro as Oliver Warbucks brings, literally, the largeness that this character requires. The hardened businessman softens with Annie in his house. The chemistry between the two is endearing.
Miss Hannagan (Leslie Christoffel) runs the orphanage where Annie is sequestered. Her exaggerated, over-the-top personality brings the comic strip quality of the play to its believable edge. We know Miss Hannagan is a caricature, but Christoffel keeps her grounded in enough reality to convince us of her menace. The orphans, too numerous to identify by name, have strong singing voices and delightful faces. My regret is that in the large production numbers such as Hard Knock Life, the larger girls often cover the smaller ones.
Annie is friendly with the other orphan girls, but her best friend is Sandy (Corey Cox), the dog. Sandy is a delight -- barking, wiggling and rolling over on her back. Turner Oldham as Rooster Hannagan (brother of Miss), and Natalie Smith as Lily St. Regis play off each other, providing many of the play's chuckles. Fred Justice entertains us as the sound effects man during a radio show interview of Daddy Warbucks. Drake the Butler (Price Ashe) adds surprising dance steps to his ever so serious demeanor.
FDR's (Paul Trani) cameo appearance creates a caricature that is both spot-on and hilarious. Daddy Warbucks' secretary, Grace (Katie Cilluffo) who carried herself with the poise and demeanor of a seasoned actor also has a rich, pleasing voice which adds dimension and clarity to many of the show's musical numbers.
John Arnett's set uses a scrim, side stages and non-descript walls to house the many scenes called for by the script. The director in me cries out that the scene changes are too long; they stifle the momentum of the play. It is all right to have actors move scenery in full view.
The musical begins very slowly with an overture, orphans in dim lighting, but nothing happening for several minutes. Never mind (as my British friends say). The energy, the bigger-than-life characters and the unabashed sentiment and warmth leave us with a good feeling. This is what good theater is all about. Congratulations to Heather Realbuto, director, for giving the actors their heads and letting them run and play for our enjoyment.
Hendersonville Little Theatre's Annie Jr. will be presented at 8 p.m. today and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Barn Theatre on the corner of Willow and State streets. Performances will continue at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays, through April 17, Barn Theatre. Tickets are $16 for adults, $6 for students under 18. For more information, call 692-1082.

Friday night was a doubly exciting evening. First up was Portugal. The Man playing their Anchorage CD release show at Club Oasis, and then immediately afterwards was the incredible release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Was there a single thought in my mind that this could be a remotely bad night? Nope. It was predestined that this night would be absolutely wonderful. It was, and then some. Real quick, did I mention I was spending this entire night dressed as Harry Potter? How could this night not rock.
Myself, Brian, and Kim before the show
To start, I will identify the key players. My crew: Brian, Kim, Drea, Amy. The band: Portugal. The Man. The Wizard: Harry Potter. The evening began with Brian and I going to pick up Drea over at her place, giving us time to get our ridiculouslessness on while Drea got ready. We watched some Rock of Love and made some bizarre jokes, while Drea was taking her sweet time (although in girl time it was like 45 seconds). After she was FINALLY ready we went to Sicily's to have a pitcher or two before the show. Down point of the night: Sicily's wisened up and raised the price of pitchers from $4 to $8. I poured one out for my homies. After that, we went to meet up with Kim and then head to the concert.
Now we got to the show right as Portugal was supposed to start, and there was an opener just about to start up. 10:30 already and the book release was starting up at midnight. Choices, choices, do we go at Midnight or stay for the whole show? Little did we know, the night had an idea for our posse that was not like our original plan, and that was entirely fine. Brian and I went upstairs as the opener started up to go play some darts and get another drink, slightly dismayed because of the delay to Portugal starting, but ready for some fun.
As we walked up to the bar, I recognize one of the guys from the band and go over to start chatting. Soon there after, Brian, he, and I are having a drink together: Two jager bombs and a Gin and Tonic. Delicious! We talked about the two times I'd seen them before, what they'd been up to since they got back to Alaska, and how the whole band was generally amused by the fact that the guy dressed as Harry Potter had seen them live before. The band was excellent to talk to, and I even had a pow wow with most of them that started in the bathroom. Which sounds really weird when I type it...but it wasn't. I had no problem talking to them either, which is oddI always have a terrible problem with talking to bands!
Kim, Brian (mildly drunk), and Amy
No less, it was great chatting with them, but after a while Brian and I went to go play some darts and hang out with Kim and the recently arrived Amy. Point to make, and this is a key one. Ladies love Harry Potter. In fact, everyone loves Harry Potter. I received everything from guys yelling "Harry Potter!" and then motioning me over to talk about the new book to girls who really, really like Harry Potter. You know. Let's just say I've never had more girls come up to talk to me or ask me to dance in my entire life. It was pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. Ladies Love Cool Harry. If I was a rapper, that'd totally be my name (LL Cool H).
Portugal. The Man rocking on stage with my ripped arm dominating the picture
After being at the concert for an hour, believe it or not, a band that I wanted to see did play. It's hard to believe after all that time, but Portugal. The Man did indeed play and they rocked the house, ripping through a 15 or 16 song set (I don't actually remember how many, but that's what the bassist told me they'd be doing) and having plenty of time to lay it down and be funky as well. Loved the set, they played all of my favorites, and I quite enjoyed their new expanded lineup. There were something like 7 or 8 people playing on stage! Way more than the 5 and 4 I saw them with before.
Of course, it wasn't all fantastic. There was still really...we'll say attractive...girl that came over to talk to me during the beginning and I pretty much thought she was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but this devil woman shoved me out of the way and told me she was standing there. Now if you've ever been to a concert before, you probably realize that there is no such thing as "your" spot. You have your spot for as long as you have it, no more, no less. There's no dibs system. There's no anything. It's a fluid situation and you stake a claim for as long as you can. No less, her shove combined with the show starting and the aforementioned fluid nature of the audience led to super hot girl being swept to the front, which she spent most of the night up there with some other guy, who could have been me. Sad panda! Rejected by that Slytherin girl Pansy Parkinson, whom I will now eternally imagine "spot" girl as.
He really is the man...that Portugal
A highlight of the night had to be when Portugal had 4 songs left and they actually announced "Alright everybody, we have four songs left and we wanted to send out a special thanks to Harry Potter. We know he's had a pretty busy week and we really appreciate him coming out." I feel as if, coming out of the show, as I was really a memorable part of the concert experience for everyone there. That fills me with a pretty large bit of warmth if I do say so myself. After the set, I went up on stage, talked to the drummer, and was hooked up with a most excellent wand. Now it wasn't quite a holly and phoenix feather wand, or even the Elder Wand, but it was a drumstick from P.TM, so it was pretty cool. Thanks Portugal!
Like I said...LL Cool H
So before going to get our books, we all had to go out and dance our little feet off. I had to laydown the special moves I learned at Hogwarts, most of which involved casting spells on girls while I danced with them and tossing my "robe" all around the place. It was sort of like the dice dance from Knocked Up, except probably 450x more amusing. I had an amazing time dancing, although the girl who kept grabbing me to dance with her and telling me her boyfriend was watching us was alternately really cool and fantastically creepy. After probably an hour of making my wonderfully large presence felt, we left to go snag our book and close our night in the best way humanly imaginable. With the final book of the classic Harry Potter series in our hands.
Of course Brian, Kim, and I were all mildly intoxicated at this point, so going into Border's to get our books was going to be...suspicious and as hard to do as breaking into 12 Grimmauld Place is in the 7th book, but you know what? We pulled it off with ease. We had our books, and as you can see...we were pretty stoked. Afterwards, we all went to Taco Bell, and went back to my place to celebrate a wonderful night of fun and to clutch our treasure, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, tightly to our chests and dream wonderful dreams of Wizardry throughout the night. The next day would be reading throughout, and I could hardly wait. Also, throughout the night everyone was taking pictures. They are on my MySpace if you so desire to see them. They're pretty ridiculously fantastic if I do say so myself.

Pinkberry, Part Deux
After my first Pinkberry experience, I didn't think I'd be back. I thought it was really sour ... way too sour. But since that initial taste test, I have found the right topping combination (regular + rice cakes (these are fantastic) + chocolate chips + blueberries). There needs to be enough of a sweet blend or the sour of the yogurt is overpowering. Plus, I love mochi ice cream and the rice cakes taste like the outside of the mochi pod.
I took my husband today for the first time (Spring St. location). It was much less crowded than the Upper East Side location, but still hot inside -- likely due to the door opening and closing every two seconds. I think I would go crazy working there. I hope they pay those people well.
He liked it too (regular + fruity pebbles + banana + rice cakes), which totally suprised me because he hates fake versions of real things (frozen yogurt vs. ice cream). But today he also ate half my veggie burger so I must be rubbing off a bit in the right way.
According to their Web site, there are only 25 calories in 1 oz (no fat, only 5 grams of sugar). That's really good considering a big one plus toppings probably nets out to less than 200 calories assuming you likely won't be able to finish it since it's ginormous.
Wonder when Pinkberry will come to Brooklyn?

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for canceling interference from signals arriving at a receiver, and more particularly to the use of a Chirp Fourier Transform system for removing unwanted interference caused from nearby communications transmitters.
Interference from nearby transmitters causes considerable problems for vehicle-mounted communications equipment, especially when the transmitter is co-located or cosited with a vehicle-mounted receiver. The interfering signals swamp the incoming signals making receipt of these signals difficult if not impossible through the interference.
The problem is especially severe when communications vans or vehicles have a number of transmitters with associated antennas on the vehicles, and where receivers within the vehicle are trying to listen to incoming communications signals at the same time the transmitters are transmitting. This is called cosite interference due to the co-location of antennas and communications equipment on the vehicle.
The problem exists in two situations, first for individuals seeking to transmit and receive at the same time using separate transceivers within the vehicle. Even if the signals are not on the same frequency spatter and unwanted harmonics oftentimes preclude receiving incoming signals.
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, jamming signals are often employed to protect vehicles for instance from the detonating of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Recently rather than utilizing detonator cords, cell phone activation of IEDs has been popular. This mode of detonation can be thwarted by providing jamming signals near the vehicle that swamps and/or defeats the transmissions from cell phones or other detonating transmitters. However in so doing, the jamming radiation also swamps the receiver in the vehicle and it is only with difficulty that this injected interference can be nulled.
As will be discussed, narrow band techniques involving numerous heavy coaxial delay lines have been employed. However, for narrow band systems in order to provide for instance a gigahertz of coverage the amount of space, weight and equipment is prohibitive.
By way of further background, oftentimes unwanted interference comes from signals which emanate from or exist near a receiver in which signals come from co-located or cosite transmitters located on a vehicle that has a number of transmitters that are used simultaneously. For instance, in a particular communications environment transceivers operating at different frequencies in the UHF and VHF bands are operated at the same time or with L band transceivers. Thus the transceivers are operated in different bands and with different modes of communication.
For example, when operating in the UHF region there may be a SATCOM transmitter nearby that is using a ground-based mode of communication in the same band as another SATCOM transceiver linked to a satellite.
As mentioned above, the other situation involving unwanted interference is when jamming signals are emitted from a vehicle for instance to jam transmitters that are trying to activate or detonate improvised explosive devices. This can occur through the use of cell phones or other transmitting devices. It will be noted that such devices operate over a wide range of frequencies and stepped jammers which frequency-hop their transmissions are in wide use.
Classical approaches to cosite mitigation involve passive frequency agile filters or active phase reversal techniques. In one active approach, power from each interfering transmit source is sampled using directional couplers, and then phase and amplitude matched for each interferer with the phase and amplitude matched signals injected out of phase into the receive path for phase-inversion cancellation, in which each frequency is a addressed in a separate channel.
Note that cancellation depth is highly dependant on how well the correlation (phase) and weighting (amplitude) hardware can match the interferer over frequency. As noted, cosite cancellation systems are exceedingly heavy and large in size driven largely by the length of delay lines required to match the interfering signal to the signal of interest. Moreover, lumped element components used to build the individual weight/correlators are heavy and large. Additionally, most suppliers of cancellation equipment avoid active electronics in the cancellation circuitry as they tend to generate self-noise which causes additional interference.
Put more simply, coaxial cable delay lines are utilized in the vehicles which snake around in the vehicle, with one delay line per frequency required. This makes a large tangle of delay lines within the vehicle simply to be able to select out and eliminate interfering signals, each at a different frequency. The reason for the requirement for so many delay lines is the fact that these systems are very narrow band and while they can be effective for the narrow banded signals, the weight of the delay lines, and the physical space of the snaking delay lines presents a problem.
Moreover, communications technology is moving away from low frequency, narrow band channels such as 25 kHz channels, to higher frequencies that can support wider waveforms capable of much greater data rates. These include wide band network waveforms and soldier radio waveforms. Inherently, lumped element components which are used to fabricate the amplitude the phase correction circuitry of the prior cancellers are narrow band. While filters and cancellers can be built to have wider bandwidths, the cost in terms of weight, size, insertion loss and fabrication complexity is prohibitive.
As a result an ideal canceller would desirably have a wide bandwidth, high dynamic range and be physically small.
In short, prior canceling systems involve narrow band cancellers. The narrow band cancellers operate to cancel the signals from an offending transmitter. This is accomplished by tapping some energy from the offending transmitter's antenna using a small directional coupler to bring the sampled signal to a place where one can make phase and amplitude adjustments so that one obtains the negative of the offending signal. The negative or phase reversed version of this signal is then coupled into the receive path to cancel the offending signal. Because of the narrow bandwidth of the cancellers, in order to do this one must adjust the phase and amplitude of the tapped signal and to do the adjustment every time one switches frequencies. Note that such multi-band cancellers typically only work over 1 MHz at most.
Such cancellers are thus inadequate to null the jamming signals now employed, which are frequency hopped and may cover a gigahertz in bandwidth. Since these systems are frequency agile, the offending signal can show up anywhere with in a very wide band spectrum. More importantly, the prior systems operate in the time domain as opposed to the frequency domain, the importance of which will be described below.
The subject system operates in the frequency domain which is inherently wide band while also preserving passive components. Size and weight are both dramatically reduced as the multiple long heavy coaxial cables used to supply signal delays in the time domain systems are eliminated. Moreover, only one multiplier or mixer is used in the subject system.
In order to cancel or mitigate the interfering signal using the frequency domain, first an interfering signal is sampled using a coupler. The sampled continuous waveform then undergoes a Chirp Fourier Transform (CFT) process which produces a spectrum of amplitudes versus frequency to characterize the tapped signal in terms of complex coefficients. As a result the system moves out of the time domain and into the frequency domain.
In order to provide a signal which is 180� out of phase to cancel the offending signal received at a receive antenna, a transfer function is established for the path between the two antennas. This transfer function represents the path in terms of complex coefficients that describe amplitude versus phase variations to the signal propagating along the path across the frequency spectrum of interest.
The frequency domain representation of the offending signal is then vector multiplied by the path transfer function in a continuous convolution process adds the path transfer function to the offending signal, all done in the frequency domain. The resultant signal is one that would be expected to exist at the receiving antenna.
Having processed the offending signal in the frequency domain, processing is reversed back into the time domain using an inverse Chirp Fourier Transform. The result is inverted and summed back into the receive path to cancel the offending signal from the incoming signal of interest.
It will be noted that the cancellation depth or success is proportional to how well the pass transfer function is estimated. To correct for environmental changes in the path transfer function, in one embodiment the subject system utilizes an adaptive sampling loop in one embodiment implemented using a least mean square algorithm. This feedback corrects the path transfer function by continuously detecting null depth and adaptively altering the path transfer function. The result is more complete cancellation and thus deeper nulls. As can be seen, the system operates on the general principle to cancel interfering signals in the frequency domain.
It will be noted that the advantage of the subject system over a Discrete Fourier Transform process is that with the Chirp Fourier Transform large instantaneous bandwidths are theoretically possible without discontinuities. Moreover, the amount of hardware is dramatically reduced.
In short an interfering signal is sampled, with the signal transformed into the frequency domain utilizing a Chirp Fourier Transform, whereupon it is vector multiplied by the path transfer function, with the result being applied to an Inverse Chirp Fourier Transform, the output of which is inverted to provide out of phase signals at a summation point in the receive path. Thus, the tapped offending signal is converted from a time domain signal to a frequency domain signal, is processed, and is then converted back to a time domain signal, inverted and coupled to the summation point to provide a deep 60 dB null of the offending signal.
These and other features of the subject invention will be better understood in connection with the Detailed Description, in conjunction with the Drawings, of which:
Referring to
Transmitter 22 may be of the cell phone variety or can be any of a variety of transmitters operating for 30 MHz all the way up to tens of gigahertz. This requires a frequency agile frequency-stepping jammer to be able to cover a wide range of frequencies, since the operating frequency of transmitter 22 may be unknown.
The problem with such jamming is that while one may be able to jam the signal from transmitter 22 to IED 20, the jamming signal will also jam the communications equipment within vehicle 10. Since there are indeed a wide range of frequencies that can be employed by transmitter 22, the use of narrow band cancellers is counter-indicated. The reasons as mentioned before include the size and complexity of equipment involving multiple lengths of coaxial cable serving as delay lines for such equipment. It is therefore almost an impossibility to have such cancellers operate for instance between 30 MHz and 6 GHz due to the sheer volume of the coaxial delay lines themselves.
It will be noted that even when jamming is not employed, signals from co-located or cosited antennas can interfere with communications at transceivers within vehicle 10 such that even if they operate on different frequencies, splatter can materially and deleteriously affect communications.
In general, in order to be able to cancel out the interfering signals a sample of the interfering signal from a transmitter 30 is tapped utilizing a coupler 32 in which a time domain signal is inverted at 34 and is injected by a coupler 36 into the receive path 38 of a receiver 40. It is the purpose of this system to provide an out-of-phase signal to cancel that portion of the interfering signal emitted by antenna 42 and that is received by antenna 38.
How this is done in the subject system is described in connection with
In the subject system a portion of the emitted signal is coupled via a coupler 56 to a Chirp Fourier Transform 58 which transforms the offending signal in the time domain into the frequency domain. The path transfer function that has been previously established is stored in transfer function module 60. Module 60 is read out to a vector multiplier 62 which multiplies the complex coefficients of the output of the Chirp Fourier Transform with the complex coefficients of the path transfer function. This results in adding the path transfer function to the interfering signal so that when it arrives at the receive path it will be altered in accordance with the measured path transfer function to match the over-the-air interfering signal. These modified coefficients are coupled to an Inverse Chirp Fourier Transform 66 which converts the frequency domain signal into a time domain signal, which when inverted out of phase version with signals received by antenna 54. Thus the processed and phase inverted signal is coupled into the receive path here illustrated at 68 from antenna 54 to receiver 70 utilizing a coupler 72.
Note, a fixed delay line may be needed at the victim receive antenna, 54, in
To the extent that the interfering signal is not completely cancelled from receive path 68, the depth of the nulls are detected at a sampling point corresponding to coupler 74. The depth of the nulls are fed back to modify the stored path transfer function data in transfer function 60 to adjust the transfer function in accordance with the sensed error.
In this way changing conditions between the antennas, such as for instance multi-path and other environmental factors which alter the transfer function, are corrected in an adaptive control operation by coupling the signal from coupler 74 over feedback line 76 to alter the path transfer function stored by unit 60.
Referring to
This dispersive delay line/chirp generator implementation of the Chirp Fourier Transform provides an inexpensive, physically small and light weight implementation of the subject canceller.
In more detail and referring now to
The chirped signal is coupled over line 100 to dispersive delay line 84 which has a linear delay characteristic 102 in which time (delay) is on the ordinate, and whereas frequency is on the abscissa. Note that the dispersive delay line slope covers twice the bandwidth and twice the delay, or 2Δ, 2T. The output of the chirped and delayed signal is available over line 104 and has a frequency versus amplitude spectrum as illustrated at 106. It is noted that the spectrum covers the Δ bandwidth, with a residual chirp present.
The result is that one takes time domain signals and converts them into frequency domain signals in which the frequency spectra of the incoming signal can be seen at 106 to involve a number of amplitude spikes a spread across a number of discrete frequencies.
The spectrum represents the complex coefficients of the interfering or offending signal in the frequency domain. These complex coefficients relate to amplitude and phase of the interfering or offending signal generated as a result of multiplying the input signal with the output of chirp generator 80. Thus, the input signal is completely characterized in the frequency domain through the use of the Chirp Fourier Transform and all the resulting amplitude and phase components.
Because the chirp of the input signal provides an extremely wide bandwidth, the subject system is able to respond to offending signals over a wide range of frequencies. The complex coefficients that are the result of chirping the input signal and providing it as an input to the dispersive delay line provides a wide frequency response.
This frequency response is vector multiplied at 62′ by the stored transfer function available at transfer function module 60 which is converted by an analog-to-digital converter 106 into frequency domain components having complex coefficients that are vector multiplied with the complex coefficients of the output of the dispersive delay line. The result is a signal that has been modified by adding the path transfer function to it so that it will be identical to the offending signal that arrives at receive antenna 54.
The vector multiplied output is available over line 110. The output constitutes a chirped input to inverse CFT 66. The inverse CFT converts frequency domain signals into time domain signals. As can be seen, CFT 66 includes dispersive delay line 86. This delay line has a delay characteristic that is inverse to the delay characteristic of dispersive delay line 84 to provide the inverted CFT. The delay characteristic of delay line 86 also has a linear 2T, 2Δ slope characteristic.
The output of dispersive delay line 86 is coupled to output line 112 that is in turn coupled to multiplier 88 which as its other input the output of chirp generator 90. The chirp characteristic of chirp generator 90 is inverted with respect to that of chirp generator 80. The result is a de-chirped time domain signal 120 which corresponds to the original offending signal to which the path transfer function is added. This signal thus has characteristics that are identical to that which would be received at receive antenna 54.
The de-chirped signal 120 is inverted by an inverter 122, such that when it is coupled by coupler 72 into receive path 68 the inverted signal cancels the offending signal that arrives at antenna 54. This is because the inverted offending signal is summed with the received signals from antenna 54 to null out the offending signal. The result is a clean received signal 122 with the offending signal nulled out.
To the extent that the nulls are not perfect, coupler 74 is used to monitor the deepness of the nulls involved in the cancellation process and to provide a feedback signal over line 124 to alter the originally stored transfer function. In order to correct the path transfer function, coupler 74 taps off a voltage from the receive path. If the originally measured transfer function was correct, then there would be zero voltage plus the noise floor at coupler 74 as the cancellation error voltage. If there is incomplete cancellation there will be some cancellation error voltage above the noise floor that is present at the coupler.
The procedure is to take the 32 coefficients of the transfer function and vary them one at a time, with each iteration resulting in 32 differential measurements of the cancellation error voltage at coupler 74. In order to arrive at those coefficient values of the transfer function that result in best cancellation, one can employ a least mean squared algorithm.
In order to know how to change the coefficients, the direction of the cancellation error voltage change for a given change of coefficients can be ascertained. This is most conveniently accomplished using a steepest descent method. The result of the steepest descent method is to not only sense the cancellation error voltage and not only sense the direction of the descent of the error voltage, but also to arrive at those changes to the coefficients which will more quickly reduce the cancellation error voltage.
Using the steepest descent method described below one can iteratively and rapidly adjust the coefficients in the path transfer function to reduce the cancellation error voltage to an absolute minimum. This automatic alteration of the path transfer function assures the best possible cancellation of the offending signal.
Thus, the adaptive control for updating the transfer function uses a least mean square (LMS) algorithm to find the amplitude and phase changes needed to update the transfer function as time progresses. The LMS algorithm uses a gradient based steepest decent method that makes successive corrections to the transfer function which eventually leads to a minimum mean square cancellation of the interfering signal.
As to the method of steepest descent, the method of steepest decent is a well known procedure used to optimize a system which is controlled by an array of parameters. The parameters are adjusted to achieve a desired condition, which in the case of the wide band interference canceller, is a minimum error voltage at the sampling point 74 in
The first step is the measurement of the gradient vector of the mean square error voltage. The i th component of the gradient vector is the partial derivative of the mean square error voltage with respect to the i th transfer function parameter. If there are 32 transfer function parameters, then the gradient vector has 32 components. The changes in the transfer function parameters for each iteration are governed by the vector equation:
W(n+1)=W(n)+�k(−▾E 2)
where W is the transfer function parameter vector, E2 is the mean square error, ▾ is the gradient vector operator, and k is the step size parameter. After the gradients are measured, the step size parameter is varied in the direction of the negative gradient until a minimum in the mean square error function is found, signaling the end of the n th iteration. The gradients are measured again applying the new transfer function parameters and the process is repeated continuously. Convergence to a minimum mean square error will occur and should be maintained.
Note that in
An additional benefit of the LMS process is the automatic correction of errors in the actual dispersive delay lines. The errors in the delay lines are equivalent to errors in estimating the transfer function. This methodology is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,079,735.
While it was supposed in the above discussion that one could measure the transfer function of the path between the transmit antenna and the receive antenna, it is not necessary to be able to initially measure this transfer function.
What is accomplished by the subject system is as follows. The subject system provides a system involving an offending signal antenna and transmitter on one side of a vehicle, and a receiver on the other side of the vehicle. The offending transmitter in one case is a jammer. One wants to make sure regardless of the frequency of the jamming signal that this signal can be cancelled out of the receive path of the receiver. Noting that there is a path transfer function between the jamming antenna and the receive antenna, this transfer function takes into account all kinds of scattering that goes on at the vehicle as a wave propagates from the jamming antenna to the receive antenna. The transfer function which characterizes this wave as it transits from the jamming antenna to the receiver varies considerably because of the multi-path involved.
The problem is if one wants to cancel out the offending signal one has to modify the tapped signal by the path transfer function so that by the time the tapped signal is used in the canceling process it takes into account this path transfer function. It is noted that the path transfer function takes into account distortions, nulls, phase shifts and the like, depending on for instance how many antennas there are on the vehicle and the nature of the vehicle. Note it is extremely convenient to be able to manipulate the path transfer function in the frequency domain. This can be done by simply vector multiplying the frequency domain offending signal by the appropriate transfer function that one has measured. Whereas the narrow band systems of the prior art can only manipulate one frequency at a time, the subject system processes signals across the entire frequency spectrum of interest.
It is noted that it is impossible to use a standard Fast Fourier Transform device because one would need 24 bits to be able to achieve the kind of nulls that one is interested in, namely 60 dB nulls. Present FFT processes do not come with 24 bit analog-to-digital converters. Current analog-to-digital converters do not have enough bits to achieve a Fast Fourier Transform over a wide bandwidth which may be as wide as a gigahertz. Theoretically one could achieve the subject processing utilizing a Fast Fourier Transform, but there are presently is no ability to obtain enough bits and enough bandwidth with state of the art devices.
Moreover, when one converts signals utilizing analog-to-digital converters one obtains spurs.
In summary, in the subject system an interfering signal is sampled using a coupler and the sampled continuous waveform then undergoes a Chirp Fourier Transform which produces a spectrum of amplitudes versus frequencies. A sample of the path transfer function is vector multiplied with the sampled interfering signal. This is done in the frequency domain in a continuous convolution process resulting in a frequency domain representation of both the interfering signal and the path transfer function.
As noted above, the utilization of a dispersive delay line with a delay characteristic inverse to that of the original delay line provides an Inverse Chirp Fourier Transform to reverse the frequency domain signal back into the time domain, whereupon a processed and inverted sampled signal is summed into the receive path to cancel the interfering signal from the incoming signal.
As to the critical components of the subject system and referring now to
In general, in the above DDS, waveforms are stored in memory and the system steps through the memory at a fixed rate. Using many small steps equates to a lower frequency and fewer larger steps equates to a higher frequency. The DDS employs an adder accumulator which in turn utilizes a carry circuit as well as a sum logic circuit with an integrated latch. There is typically some form of a digital signal processor (DSP) that generates the input word to the phase accumulator and controls the frequency of the generated sine wave. The DSP establishes the frequency command phase increment, and sets the size of the phase steps, thereby establishing the frequency. In general, any type of data register will work, wherein the number of bits determines the frequency resolution.
The DDS typically has an adder-accumulator section wherein the accumulator is clocked by an oscillator and adds increment from the frequency command to the previously stored value at each pulse. As noted, the input word (frequency control word) from the DSP to the adder-accumulator controls the frequency of the generated sine wave. The adder and accumulator are configured in a feedback configuration and the adder generally requires a very fast N-bit adder.
More specifically, referring to
Another critical element is the delay line. In one embodiment, a surface electromagnetic dispersive (SEW) delay line such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,808,950 assigned to the assignee hereof and incorporated herein by reference, is used. This delay line can be described as a dielectric coded single wire transmission line. It is noted that this element combined with a chirp generator is an analog implementation of a Fourier transform.
Referring to
As to the I/Q vector modulator 62′, it is the purpose of using an I/Q vector modulator to invert phase and readdress and readjust the original transfer function T(f) as environmental conditions change. Phase and gain adjustment is done by a digital controller contained in an adaptive control element within the adaptive control loop.
In terms of the adaptive control of T(f), cancellation depth is related to how accurate the path transfer function measurement is. To ensure a good phase/amplitude match between the interfering signal and the victim receiver, and as described in the appended source code, an adaptive loop is implemented that updates the original transfer function measurement as environmental conditions such as multi-path and surroundings change. This component, in one embodiment measures the T(f) estimate, stores updates to T(f), performs the up conversion from base band to CFT sweep frequencies and is the controller to I/Q vector modulator 62′.
While the subject system has application for eliminating the interference caused by two co-located antennas in which interfering signals are to be eliminated at a receiving antenna, as will be made clear, the subject system may be also utilized in situations where a path transfer function is not available.
However when communications antenna are co-located or cosited on a vehicle, the transfer function between the two may be measured readily.
While the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments of the various figures, it is to be understood that other similar embodiments may be used or modifications or additions may be made to the described embodiment for performing the same function of the present invention without deviating therefrom. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to any single embodiment, but rather construed in breadth and scope in accordance with the recitation of the appended claims.

Thanks so much for your kind thought to let me know about this picture of Sallie BRIDGER Yearwood and Dutch YEARWOOD.I haven't been able to give much of my time to our genealogy lately and was really surprised to see your note.What a great surprise!Right away, I saved the picture, the contributor notes, copyright, and email address.I have known about Sallie and Dutch for a few years now but never expected to see a picture of them.I do not find any reference to Warner YOUNG Yearwood in any of my files.I suppose that since the bloodline of your Warner YOUNG Yearwood is truly YOUNG and not Yearwood that you are probably not too interested in Yearwood ancestors.Is this correct?
Thanks again!
