The SEC released its coaches All-SEC team yesterday and their were 3 unanimous selections. Left off from that list was God's son Tim Tebow which begs the question, which coach didn't vote for Tim? Coaches can't vote for their own players so Houston Nutt could not vote for Jevan Snead the only other possibly candidate for 1st Team All-SEC. This has many believing that Lane Kiffin is the coach who didn't vote for Tebow adding fire to an already burning rivalry.
If this is the case, Lane Kiffin is one cocky SOB and Florida is surely going to put up 60 on Tennessee. This is hilarious!

Texas State hasn't gone out of Texas for many commitments in its 2013 class, but the Bobcats reached all the way out to the west coast for commitment No. 13.
Juco cornerback Brandon Jones (Santa Rosa, Calif./Santa Rosa Junior College) made the decision to commit to the Bobcats this weekend, while on an official visit.
"The coaching staff really made me feel at home," Jones said. "It felt like a big family and I already feel like I'm a part of it after just a couple of days there. They are new to FBS, but I feel like we can win a lot of games and go to a bowl game."
This development happened very quickly for Jones, who received an offer from Texas State this past Thursday, then almost immediately hopped on a flight for his official visit. An early enrollee, Jones will continue his hectic schedule for the next few days. After flying home on Sunday, he said he will take care of some paperwork and finish the early enrollment process. He will then fly back to Texas State at the end of the week and plans to start classes next Monday. He has already worked out the schedule situation with the Bobcats and will be able to take advantage of the grace period that will allow him to start slightly late. As for his future on the field, Jones said he has high hopes.
"They told me they weren't bringing me in to be on the bench," Jones said. "As a junior college player, they want me to come in as a leader, ready to work. I'm going to get an extra jump being there in the spring and my chances of making an early impact is high as long as I put in the work, which I'm going to do."
Jones, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound defensive back, recorded 24 tackles and two interceptions for Santa Rosa this past season. Originally out of Rocky Mount High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, Jones will now head to Texas and is now one of only two Bobcats' commitments from outside of the state.
"I never thought I'd be in this situation," Jones said. "I had nowhere to go after high school; all I had was junior college. I had a plan to go D-I, but I didn't know I could be here today receiving text messages and doing interviews with reporters and going to Texas State. I made a big turnaround in junior college and I'm really excited. I'm trying to take it all in, but I'm going to keep working hard, because I'm not done yet."

The holiday season was a nice one. We spent Thanksgiving with Russ' family. It was one of the few years that all of his brothers and sisters were there. We had some family pictures taken, which I'd include but I didn't find them quickly and am feeling a bit lazy to search more for them. I may post them at a later time.
Christmas was nice as well. We always spend Christmas Eve with Russ' family and did so again this year. On Christmas we went to my parent's house and had a nice dinner with them. Both of my sisters who live nearby went on vacation over Christmas so it was just us.
We have a tradition of opening up new pajamas on Christmas Eve. Used to just be to open a present, but it's become opening pajamas. Jimmy made presents for his sisters and brother (except for Rachel because she is a bit young for it) and we also let them open the gift from him then too. He made them each pillows. Did most of the sewing for it himself. This is a picture taken that night in their new pajamas and with their pillows.
The next weekend, Rachel was playing with her sister and tripped and hit the bridge of her nose along the edge of the tile and cut it nicely. I took her to the instacare even though I figured it wouldn't need to be stitched. They did put glue on the cut because she had some loose skin and it would keep it protected and safe from infection. She still has a ridge on her nose from the loose skin and how it refused. I'm sure she will have a scar from it. This picture was taken shortly after she hit it and after we wiped away some of the blood. She had nice black circles under her eyes for a while.
Intermountain Healing Hearts to make sure we could still have a banner hung on the parking garage for Primary Children's Medical Center and we had a table set up on the 3rd floor of the hospital with cupcakes, fliers, and other things to help spread awareness. A.Rae, the historian/angel liaison on the governing board for IHH was very nice and made some pictures for use on Facebook for some of us who have children with heart defects. She made this one for me:
I also went with Brytten to Capitol Hill during CHD week. We were representing IHH at Non-Profit Day on the Hill. We had a chance to talk to some of the representatives up there about IHH and what we do and a little about pulse-ox testing of newborns. I think it turned out well and we were able to talk to several people. They wanted one person to go take notes to the representatives and to speak with them and the other to stay at the table we were given to use to talk to anyone who might come by. I stayed at the table. My representative for where I live happened to walk by the table so I was able to talk to him. We basically had our table there set up like we had the table set up at the hospital, only we also had the posters IHH uses at events.
While we were both sitting at the table waiting for things to get started, we had a visitor from another non-profit come by to visit us. Only she wasn't supposed to and it startled us when she came. Something about the flapping of wings by your head when you aren't expecting anything. She was a toucan from Tracy Aviary. Later they had a golden eagle. I commented I was glad it wasn't that one that "attacked" us. The last two pictures are of the bird and of Brytten at our table.
And now I'm basically caught up. Well, except for mentioning the big wind storm we had at the beginning of December that caused some damage to our house and knocked down branches from a couple of trees and caused our neighbor's tree to fall through the fence. It also caused us to go without power for nearly 36 hours. But I won't go into that. I think this post is long enough.

Spike Lee screens oil spill film
Spike Lee has screened his new four-hour documentary on the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and says no one from the oil giant is speaking to him.
The director showed If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in San Diego on Saturday.
It is due to air in August on HBO in the US.
When he was asked if BP cooperated he said: "Nobody was speaking to me from BP."
A call to the BP press office wasn't immediately returned.
He also called on President Barack Obama to "bring the hammer" on BP and make the company pay.
BP was leasing an oil rig that exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers and triggering the spill that has dumped 94 million to 184 million gallons of oil into the Gulf.

Making Inferences with Owl Moon

Understanding Text Structure with Owl Moon
Owl Moon is a smart choice for a lesson on identifying and understanding different text structures. As students read through this text, they will stop to think about spots in the story where the author uses comparing and contrasting, sequence, description, and cause and effect.
Visualizing with Owl Moon
The author of Owl Moon uses gentle, poetic language to describe the wintery outdoor setting and the feelings of the book's narrator. This serene story will allow readers to focus on the descriptions and their own mental images of what it might be like to go owling themselves.
Owl Moon Extension Activity
The BookPagez extension activities are a great way to push student engagement beyond the pages of the text. Try using this activity with early finishers, with students who show a deeper connection with the text, or as a center activity.

Channel Balance
A home owner from Tampa, FL says:
March 28, 2013
My channel balance has the numbers 38 and 2990 stamped on it which I don't see on your list. It is 1/2" x 30". The window measures 50" wide and 30 1/2" tall. What balances should I order?
Tom from SWISCO responded:
March 28, 2013
Thanks for posting! Before I can offer an applicable replacement for this channel balance, I just need to know a bit more information about the bottom attachment. Please take a look at our 15-004 and 15-005 channel balance shoes, and note their depths. As you can see, they are 1-3/32" deep and 1" deep, respectively. Which one more closely matches your own bottom attachment?
Can you also weigh your window sash? A stamp of 2990 does not match any of our corresponding options and we will need to know the sash weight in order to recommend one.
A handy person from Tampa, FL says:
March 31, 2013
My bottom attachment is 1" and the weight of the window is 30.5 lbs.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
April 1, 2013
Great! In that case, take a look at our S380-30 channel balance with a 3950 option and let me know what you think.

|Reviews for Kokoro Kiseki
| KirishimaYui chapter 1 . 4/28/2014
It has actually been years since I last reviewed. I've just recently migrated to this fandom and have read a few fanfictions before this one, I must admit. However, after reading this, I just had to review.
I keep doing this to myself. I already knew what song this story was based on, and I knew that both characters will have a extremely bittersweet ending. Despite that, I was curious as to how you would incorporate it with this pair.
I want to first thank you for taking your time on this. I have this bad habit of trying to finding errors on every work I read, and throughout this story, I did not spot a single one. In fact, I was so in depth with the story that it distracted me from that habit. I appreciate that and how lengthy this was .
I liked that you built a back story in the beginning instead of starting the story as Joshua being the "doctor" right away where the music video starts- I often see authors do that. The beginning adds more to the emotional roller coaster that progresses as it goes on.
I actually found it very clever and entertaining that you actually made Joshua as the "Composer" while Neku was the "Conductor". And after Neku passed and became the robot, without the emotion file, he really did become Joshua's "Proxy." I am not sure if you thought of it this way, but whether you did or not, I applaud to you. Outstanding job! I also loved how you kept the game music in here as well. I thought "Kokoro" or "Kiseki" lyrics will be one of the songs Neku would sing, but I am glad you did not make him. I liked that you made the ending of the song as the ending of your story. That gave me a bit of déjà vu.
I really "felt" the characters. Despite being their behaviors being completely opposite of how they usually are in the game, I felt that since it was an AU, or non-canon, the personalities you have given them fit really well, considering the circumstances they were in to begin with and where it is based off of. I felt like the Neku here was the more like the Neku in the "Another Story" chapter in the game.
To be honest, I was hesitant on reading this because I had a feeling- no, I knew I was going to tear up and feel sad. I mean, c'mon, it IS a tragic story haha. Then again, I am a very emotional person. But like I stated before, I wanted to see if you could pull it off and make it your own in a way... And you did.
Now, I do not know what else to say, haha! I enjoyed reviewing again.
Thank you for the wonderful story! I look forward to reading your other works. Fantastic job n_n
| Alyss Penedo chapter 1 . 4/3/2013
Creepy and a bit sterotypical, but I must applaud the amount of work and inspiration that went into this monster of a one-shot.
| Viviane Renard chapter 1 . 7/27/2012
Very beautiful! The ending was poetic and tragic. I really enjoyed reading this, thanks for sharing!
| Guest chapter 1 . 7/7/2012
Person... Why you no have second ending?
No really the second ending when it all freakin' works out perfect. Because now, I'm freakin' crying. TT_TT
| Kittyfox77 chapter 1 . 4/3/2011
So pretty! Very well written too! I was interested the whole way through, and the plot was very cute!
lol Very OOC, but that's OK. I still liked the idea of Joshua being miserable for once. *evil laugh*
| RikuzxBf chapter 1 . 12/27/2009
I kept my tears in until the VERY VERY end...
I would've cried a lot sooner if the lyrics were in english though ;
This fanfiction is a MASTERPIECE
Simply GORGEOUS!
I never read anything worth reading as this.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I'm a fan.
| Lazy Anime Crazy Fan chapter 1 . 11/26/2009
I regret not reading it the first time I saw it. It made me cry especially the ending and it really didn't help that I was listening to Lullaby For You. This is the saddest thing I've ever read. I hope you write more.
| Wolfie559933 chapter 1 . 7/31/2009
Wow... that was really, truly incredible. I remember watching the first two of those videos, and feeling sad then... But that's nowhere near how sad I was, reading this fic. Really emotional.
I really can't express how this made me feel, besides saying "wow."
| hehe chapter 1 . 6/12/2009
That was great... though it kinda took me two hours to read...
which leads me to the question: why'd you putformat everything into an overgrown one-shot?
Awesome job.
| 00Boo chapter 1 . 5/7/2009
I'll be honest, when I saw the description of the story, I just thought it was going to be one of those 2-minute drabbles that never make sense. Boy was I WRONG! Never again will I judge a story by it's summary.
The emotions portrayed were amazing.
Tears were in my eyes the entire time, but they only started to flow when Neku regained his memories. That was just too sweet! 3
I actually rushed to youtube to listen to A Lullaby For You in Japanese when I saw that Neku was singing.
...Which made me cry more.
I love the way you tied it all together with that paragraph at the bottom. It was the perfect way to end it.
I love you~ And I will definately be checking out your other stories.
Much LOVE
| Nayunari 'Ayu' Tsuki chapter 1 . 5/1/2009
This was so sad yet so beautiful! I think I actually felt tears coming on when Neku died. Best sad story I've read up to date!
| girl chapter 1 . 4/24/2009
suteki...hontoni suteki...id add this to my favs, but this computer doesn't let me. But I should let you know that I got real emotional reading this. I felt my heart clench and my stomach drop. I don't like reading tragedy. Some...well most people, dont like sad endings. Who does? ok maybe emo people. This was a good piece. Thank you for writing Kokoro Kiseki, A Miracle of the Heart. It is disappointing that you haven't recieved many reviews. This story is review worthy
| stardustedmelodies chapter 1 . 3/20/2009
| totallycraz4anime chapter 1 . 2/19/2009
Ah, I really should go watch those videos now. I've been meaning to for the past few months.
Great story o:
| Self Pity Party chapter 1 . 1/24/2009

Web Design and Online Marketing at Discounted Rates in Camden, North London
Rebrand Your Business
A brand is built with the design of your merchandise; your website, your handouts and your signage. Anything you use to promote your business is part of the brand and many branding campaigns can be beneficial for an organisation if done correctly.
A common error when branding your company is focusing too much on one aspect, for example a high proportion of the marketing budget will go on the design of the website but the signage used to advertise in specific areas isn't effective. This problem is often caused when too many suppliers are used.
You need one supplier that does the printing, the web design and the merchandise. This way designers can work together and collaborate the different aspect to give an effective and aesthetically pleasing campaign. Here in Brighton we work with many SME's and larger organisations to get their name into the public eye and into the markets that they are missing.

Is there a potential that the entire order is scrapped?
Is there not a good chance that NW can emerge from Ch11 before August of 2008 and take delivery of their first 787 as otherwise scheduled?
NW really needs the 787 as it's Asian routes are actually quite profitable and with the addition of the 787 would only become more so. I fret to think that Boeing might lose 18 firm 787 and NW doesn't retain the PR of being the North American launch customer for the 787.
The order includes firm purchases of 18 787-8s worth, approximately $2.2 billion at list prices, plus options and purchase rights for 50 additional Dreamliners.

Matt Warnock believes there are great things going on in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. And, he says, he'd love to talk to you about them.
As principal of Barbara Bush Middle School in Irving, Warnock, a Carrollton resident, says he's seen the district's Ambassador Program make an impact through one-on-one conversations about schools in the area.
"That's an opportunity to spread the good word," Warnock said.
Through the program, Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD invites community members, including city and business leaders, parents and interested residents, to learn about not only district achievements, but also education as a whole, said Angela Shelley, C-FB ISD's director of strategic communication services.
These trained ambassadors can then share what they've learned with their communities. When school starts Monday, program participants will put their training to work.
"For our nation, for our state to continue, we have to have a strong public education system," Shelley said. "But we can't do it alone. We need the support of our entire community."
The Ambassador Program started about three years ago, Shelley said, as the district was evaluating its communications plan. Staff began to see a need to expand communications to include more community engagement, she said. They broadened the scope of that idea with constituent focus groups and by looking at other organizations' work, including that of Dallas-Fort Worth area-based Friends of Texas Public Schools, which aims to promote public education in the state.
Since the program's start, approximately 300 staff and community members have gone through ambassador training, which is now run in-house. Participants learn about the district's workings and accolades, and about public education on a state and national level.
The sessions also include what Shelley calls "myth busting." One example, she said, is the idea that students in the United States are way behind other nations academically.
"Those things aren't always told," Shelley said. "Do we have room for improvement, of course, but we need to put every card on the table."
Shelley said she believes C-FB ISD is perhaps the third or fourth district in the state to implement an initiative like the Ambassador Program, though she said they are now becoming more common.
Peggi Babick of Carrollton, a former district employee and current C-FB ISD parent who serves as an ambassador, said she thinks every district should have a similar program in place.
"It's nice to have people championing their school district," she said.
More training sessions for community members will be presented this fall, when the district will add an Ambassadors branch for students. This planned program will be similar to the adult program in that it will include information about promoting district schools, but it also will focus on helping the students dispel "misconceptions" about themselves among people of other ages or even other schools.
Students from each of the district's five high schools will be included in the select group of participants.
Jill Speckert, an assistant principal at Carrollton Creekview High School who is helping to form the new program, said it is in line with the district's ultimate purpose.
"We are in the business of helping kids be the best they can be, and so this is one more avenue to help students develop into the citizens that are going to lead our community," she said.
Warnock said when it comes to evaluating public schools, people sometimes zone in on the negative at the expense of the positive, or form opinions without seeing for themselves.
"We've got a lot of people who criticize our schools that have never set foot on a campus," he said.
It's one of the reasons Warnock invites people, from parents of prospective students to community leaders, to tour the Barbara Bush campus with him and learn about the school and its programs.
Warnock helped organize and encourage special Ambassador training for those in the feeder pattern located to the west of Interstate 35E.
He also sends out regular messages about school news and achievements through the communications system Blackboard Connect.
Warnock's work in these areas led to his being recognized by Friends of Texas Public Schools as its 2012 Ambassador of the Year, and by international education technology company Blackboard, maker of Blackboard Connect, with a Blackboard Connect Communications Strategy Award.
Warnock said the need for such initiatives and for the Ambassador Program arises partially from the many educational avenues that are now available to people, including charter, home and online schools.
"People have options, and so we want to put ourselves out there that we are doing great things for our kiddos and we hope that you would consider us an option," he said. "They're all doing great things, but so are we."

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to pseudonoise (PN) spread spectrum codes. More specifically the present invention relates to a method of jumping a composite PN code so as to enhance reacquistion.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Heretofore when it was necessary to reacquire a PN code it was necessary to search through the code from chip to chip until the code being acquired was in synchronization with the receiving PN generator. It was possible to either speed up the PN generator in the receiver or to slow down the PN generator in the receiver. Long codes can be as long as 1010 chips long and the repeat time for such long codes can be a matter of days. Thus, if a long code is completely out of sychronization and no history of the last synchronization has been kept it is necessary to search a code that can be so long as to require days for synchronization.
Long codes can be made by combining shorter codes to create composite codes. Composite codes if made by properly combining component codes can not be distinguished from a unique individual long code. The present invention is concerned with a long composite code which was made by properly combining a plurality of composite codes. Heretofore the only way known for searching either individual day long codes or composite long codes was by searching each individual chip as mentioned herein before. It would be extremely desirable to be able to adjust the PN code generator in the receiver so that it would be substantially in sychronization with the PN code being received before a sychronization search is initiated. If such accomplishment could be achieved it would save hours or even days in resychronizating PN code generators during reacquisition.
It is the principal object of the present invention to provide a method of jumping a PN code generator in a receiver from a current phase position to a desired predetermined phase position which is almost in synchronization with the PN code being received.
It is another primary object of the present invention to provide a method of inhibiting the system clock which drives the component PN code generators of a composite PN code generator so as to advance or retard the composite code any desired number of phase positions.
It is a general object of the present invention to provide a method of modifying existing composite PN code generators so as to provide enhanced reacquition properties.
According to these and other objects of the present invention there is provided in conjunction with a composite code generator apparatus for inhibiting the number of clock system pulses being employed to drive the component code generators by a predetermined number of pulses so as to jump the phase position of the composite code a predetermined number of phase positions.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a system for generating a composite code from individual component codes which includes a modification for jumping the composite code a predetermined number of phase positions;
FIGS. 2A to 2C are timing diagrams showing bits generated by the individual component PN generators shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 2D is a timing diagram showing bits generated by the composite PN code generator of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3A to 3C are timing diagram showing bits generated by the individual component PN code generators after inhibiting clock pulses to the PN generators;
FIG. 3D is a timing diagram showing bits generated by the composite PN code generator after the system clock pulses to the component PN code generators have been inhibited.
Refer now to FIG. 1 showing a schematic block diagram system for generating a composite code and for jumping the composite PN code. It is well know that a modulo two adder 10 such as a exclusive OR gate may be employed to combine component PN codes which are chip synchronized so as to produce a composite PN code on output line 11. PN code generator 12 is shown generating the X component code on output line 13. Similarly PN code generator 14 is shown generating the Y component code on output line 15. In similar manner PN code generator 16 is shown generating the Z component code on output line 17. When the three component PN codes are synchronized as to their chip time the exclusive OR circuit 10 serves as a composite code generator which produces a composite code having a length equal to the length of the X code times the length of the Y code times the length of the Z code. Heretofore it was known practice to employ the same system clock 18 to drive the component code generators 12, 14 and 16. When it was desired to synchronize the composite code on output line 11 with a code being received, the system clock 18 had to be slowed down or sped up so as to slow down or speed up the composite code on output line 11. As explained hereinbefore the repeat or epoch time of long composite codes can require days. When it was desired to advance to another point in the composite code to achieve reacquisition the process of speeding up the system clock could heretofore require days.
In the present invention a processor or controller 19 is provided with at least three inputs, 21, 22 and 23 for indicating to the processor whether to advance or retard and the number of phase positions to be advanced or retarded. Processor 19 makes a calculation which will be explained in detail hereinafter for each of the preset counters X, Y and Z shown as 24, 25 and 26. The numbers set at the preset counter 24, 25 and 26 cause their individual output lines 28, 29 and 30 to stay low for the number of pulses stored in the preset counters 24, 25 and 26. Thus, after inhibited the clock pulses on lines 31, 32 and 33 the inhibit lines 28, 29 and 30 go high permitting the original clock system pulses on line 27 to pass through and gates 34, 35 and 36. The number of inhibited pulses to be applied to lines 37, 38 and 39 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
Refer now to FIG. 2. FIG. 2A shows the PN timing of bits being generated by generator X on line 13. It will be noted that the epoch length of the code employed for this illustration is two bits long.
FIG. 2B shows the code appearing on output line 15 from code generator Y which is three bits long. FIG. 2C shows the PN code being generated on line 17 from generator Z which is shown to be five bits long. FIG. 2D shows the timing diagram for the PN code which appears on output line 11 from composite code generator 10, shown as an inverting modulo two adder, which repeats its code every 30 bits and has an epoch code length equal to the multiple of the code lengths of the code generators X, Y and Z. The bits of FIGS. 2A to 2D are vertically aligned so that the function of the modulo two adder 10 may be checked. The first output on line 11 is the inverted binary output produced by modulo two addition of three bits in the high state.
In order to best illustrate how the number of clock pulses to be inhibited at each of the individual component PN code generators X, Y and Z is derived the following example will be employed. If we desire to advance the PN code by 23 bits or 23 pulse times the number 23 is placed in the processor 19 and the following calculation takes place. The number of inhibited pulses to be placed in preset counter 24 for inhibiting PN code generated X is equal to Lx minus 23 modulo Lx, where Lx is the length of the component PN code of generator X. In the example explained hereinbefore Lx was two bits long. Lx is divided into 23 to get to get the remainder which is one. Thus, the number of inhibit pulses to be applied to preset counter 24 is 2-1 which equals 1.
Similarly, the number of inhibit pulses to be set into preset counter 25 is equal to Ly minus 23 modulo Ly where Ly is the length of the component PN code of generator Y which is three pulses or three bits long. Thus, 23 divided by three provides a remainder of two and 3-2 is again equal one which is the number of inhibit pulses to be placed in preset counter 25. The number of inhibit pulses to be placed in preset counter 26 is equal to Lz minus 23 modulo Lz where Lz is equal to the length of the component code of generator Z which was illustrated to be five bits of pulses in length. Thus, the number of inhibit pulses to be placed in preset counter 26 is equal to 5 minus 23 divided by five where the remainder is three. Thus, 5-3 is equal to two, the number of pulses to be placed in preset counter 26.
Refer now to FIGS. 3A to 3C showing the output of the individual component PN code generators X, Y and Z respectively on lines 13, 15 and 17 respectively. When the delete pulse is applied to line 28 it delays or stops PN generator X for one bit time. As shown in FIG. 3A this causes a right shift effect. The number of inhibit pulses on output line 29 to PN generator Y is shown to be one pulse which delays or stops the PN code generator 14 by one pulse time. This is also shown as having the effect of shifting the timing pulses to the right one bit time. The number of inhibit pulses to be set in preset counter 26 of FIG. 1 was explained hereinbefore to be two inhibit pulse times. The inhibit pulse times on output line 30 is shown delaying or stopping the clock pulses to PN code generator 16 two pulse times which is shown having the effect of shifting the Z code generator output to the right two pulse times.
after the individual component PN code generators have been inhibited, they again stabilize and are driven by the original system clock 18 so as to generate the same composite code on output line 11, however, the code has been advanced by 23 pulse or bit positions. It will now be noted that the output code sequence starting at time 41 on FIG. 2D has been advanced 23 chip times so as to occur at time 42 as shown in FIG. 3D. The complete sequence of bits occuring at time 41 include the epoch which is the start of a complete sequence of PN codes. Similarly, the same epoch is shown in FIGS. 2D and 3D such that the composite code on output line 11 has been jumped or instantaneously moved or advanced in time by 23 pulse times or bits. It will be understood that the illustration described hereinbefore has employed only a maximum of 30 bits in the longest code. Long codes having code lengths of tens of billions of pulse times or bit times employ the identical technique of jumping the PN code. When it is desired to advance the composite PN code by M bits the formula for each of the component PN generators is to inhibit the individual PN code generators by a number Nx equal to Lx-M modulo Lx and when it is desired to retard the composite generator by any predetermined number M bits or pulses it is only necessary to inhibit the individual component code generators by a number of pulses Nx equal to M modulo Lx.
The code should be searched from an advanced position if there is any possibility that reacquisition is to occur in the presence of a repeat jammer or multipath. Repeat jammers employ the technique of receiving the same code which is to be reacquired and, after a slight delay, rebroadcast or retransmit the same received code so as to generate a delayed false PN code which could cause the receiving station to produce a false lock onto the repeated jamming code. By jumping ahead and searching back through the period of uncertainty the received PN code at the receiver will always encounter the true and original PN code before encountering the repeat jammer or multipath thus enhancing the capability of reacquiring the true long PN code.
Having explained a preferred embodiment of the present invention and a modification thereof it will be understood that it is now possible for a receiving and transmitting station to communicate with another receiving and transmitting station using long composite codes and to interrupt the locked-on communications between stations. By maintaining a history of the time of interruption, it can be equated to pulse times or chip times, knowing the clock or chip rate, that must be searched to reacquire the composite code. The PN generator can be jumped ahead of the period of uncertainity and the communications between two stations can be rapidly reacquired after substantially long outages.

The community of east Cleveland is searching for bodies after police identified a suspect and said it was likely that there would be further discoveries.
Police in Ohio are expected to charge 35-year-old Michael Madison after the bodies of three women were discovered wrapped in plastic bags in a Cleveland suburb.
Police Chief Ralph Spotts, of the East Cleveland Police Department said: "There's still a possibility there might be something else. So we're going to exhaust all, everything we have, to hopefully make sure we don't find anything."
Search volunteer Michael Pritchett explained how the group were going about their search, "we're going through the bushes with our sticks if the doors is open in the neighbourhood. We going all through the houses."
In an unrelated case, three women were found and rescued earlier this year after being held captive in a Cleveland home for almost ten years.

you can tell tapatalk is shagged as the whole of ASN has been quiet all day!
iPhone 4S test
iPad 2 test
Is it working yet.
Yes matey
Double that.
Failed for me last night.
Works on my phone lol
Tablet test.
Can anyone edit there post using tapatalk. I just keep getting an error.
Scrap that its working now.
Edit test
Edit edit edit
Works fine for me ^^^
It's broken again
What a difference a day makes eh Chris
I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what's going on with this folks.
We've not tinkered with anything, so I can't understand why it's on the blink again unless it's either a) some issue with your device(s) [not wishing to teach grandma to suck eggs, but restarting the device, clearing Tapatalk's temporary files out (in Android: Settings/Applications/Tapatalk.. (couldn't say for other platforms)) might be worth a go] - or perhaps b) Tapatalk have changed something in the dynamic part of their layer.
I'm currently buried in a big pile of code for something which for now will remain nameless, but if I get to a point where I can save & close my tabs, I'll have a bit of a poke about to see if I can figure out what's going on with Tapatalk - failing that, I dare say my esteemed colleague will tackle it when he's next in front of the pooter.
Once I've finished the [x] & [y] systems I'm working on, I'm going to look seriously at improving arrangements for mobile - if nothing else at least so there's more fall-back for mobile devices when Tapatalk has its next bout of peculiar behaviour.
Working again on my 4S and iPad 2
Getting a 2222 error again and not being able to post tapatalk2
It's packed in again FFS! When it's fixed please please, please stop fiddling with the code.
Try it now please folks?
[If it works, it's because I've been tinkering with it ]
No luck here mate
Meh. Well honestly, I'm fairly well stumped (and it really does begin to look like it's an issue at Tapatalk's end).
I'm still kinda busybusybusy on other stuff (as above) at the moment:
...but if my partner in crime gets some time before I do, I'll ask that he sets his spanners on it to make doubly-sure there's nothing we can do to patch it.
And again, as soon as I've finished with the project I'm on, mobile compatibility will be receiving my attention for a complete overhaul [whatever you do, don't tell the classifieds lobby].
Still not working!
Not working here either. Had my iPhone off I have uninstalled tapatalk and reinstalled it but still not working.
Is there another app like the "vw forum" in the App Store.
Come to think about it should we not have our own ASN app.

Alas the only alternative app is for Android - we did try to launch an iPhone app at the same time, but unfortunately behind their super-slick customer facing exterior, Apple is rotten, and despite the app being built with a standard framework (certified 100% compatible), never approved it for the App Store.
We're going to replace the 'web' layout for mobiles with something better/more functional, and likely updated apps for Android and if Apple aren't such assholes this time, iOS too (but if you'd like an iOS app before I can make that my focus, please feel free to get some quotes )
PS> Apple suck donkey wang. Srsly.
Is it possible to create a mobile friendly app like web site for safari.
Ps this was posted from tapatalk.
Test, testing, testicles...
Anyone else noticed their "likes" don't stick with tapatalk?
Like and post test
Edit test
Working again!
Yep the likes don't stay.
I have none of these problems on other VB forums I visit!
My likes don't work either, sometimes can subscribe to a post but more often than not can't, no problems posting
Cant post at all or like it keeps saying failed to connect to forummm aaaa, when is this app going to work and stay working???
Same issue here, using Android 4.3 and Tapatalk 2. Hasn't let me "like" anything for a while and now can't post.
Can't post again either, iPhoney 5 iOS 6 and latest version of Tapatalk2.

By JoeHaggerty
MONTREAL The Boston Bruins will have plenty to prove Wednesday night at the TD Garden when they line up against the Montreal Canadiens for a 13th and final time this season.
It could mean a promising new beginning or it could be the bitter end for some of the current nucleus of Boston players, since a loss Wednesday will mean premature playoff exits in each of the last three seasons.
When the puck drops for Game 7, the Bruins will be looking to exorcise the playoff ghosts and poltergeists that have haunted them in recent years.
They lost Game 7 at home, in overtime, to Carolina in 2009. Last year there was the historic collapse against the Flyers -- the memory of which is something the Bs have battled all season.
They partially beat down those demons by ripping off three straight wins against the Habs in this series. But until they win a Game 7, which they haven't done since 1994, the Bruins can't say they've broken the spell.
One doesnt even have to ask Zdeno Chara or Tim Thomas the questions about their Game 7 histories to understand the bitterness and disappointment thats come along with dropping a combined seven of them over their hockey careers.
We have experience, I guess, said Thomas when asked the Game 7 question. Its win or youre done. Weve won three games so far in this series. If we play the way we did when we won the three, then well win the fourth game in the series.
Chara is a fruitless 0-5 during his decorated Norris Trophy-winning career in Game 7's with the Bruins and Senators, and has had some of his most forgettable performances in those seminal moments. Thomas is 0-2 and has a chip resting on his shoulder.
The question is: Will history change Wednesday night? Or repeat itself?
We worked all year to get home ice, and now were going home, said Mark Recchi.
We have to just embrace whats coming up tomorrow. This a great time of year and you need to have fun with it. You cant get weighed down by the pressure. You just have to go play . . . I trust these guys and know theyll be ready to play. Its one game. It is what it is and both teams will be ready.
The Canadiens, on the other hand, haven't lost a Game 7 since -- you guessed it -- being beaten by Boston in 1994. They're 4-0 in Game 7's over the span . . . and, in fact, counting Tuesday night they're 6-1 in their last seven elimination games (elimination games being described as any game in which a team is ousted from the playoffs by a loss, which can happen prior to a Game 7). Forward Mike Cammalleri has been super-human in those clutch situations with seven goals and 10 points in those do-or-die moments with Les Habitants.
The path to a Game 7 in Boston was paved Tuesday night when the Bruins couldnt vanquish the Habs at a rocking Bell Centre, and instead found themselves embroiled in a special-teams extravaganza for the first time in the seven-game series. There were 11 power plays in the game, seven of them for Montreal, and the Habs connected twice.
The Bruins power play, on the other hand, was 0-for-4 Tuesday, is 0-for-19 so far in the playoffs, and is a big reason why the B's are being forced to a Game 7. Because the Bruins clearly outplayed the Canadiens when the teams skated 5-on-5.
It all started when referee Kevin Pollock botched a Brian Gionta goal in the opening minutes, whistling the play dead when he lost sight of the puck as it sat in the open ice next to Tim Thomas. Gionta successfully swiped it into the net, but Pollock waved off the goal. Angry Habs fans began raining white rally towels onto the ice in protest when it was clear that Pollocks call was going to stand.
After messing up the first big call of the game, it appeared Pollock and fellow referee Chris Lee spent the rest of the night attempting to make amends.
The five-minute boarding major and game misconduct call on Milan Lucic was iffy to start with, and became downright laughable when the fallen Jaroslav Spacek -- helped off the ice by the medical staff --was back taking regular shifts at the end of the second period.
None of the Bruins would comment on the record about the Lucic penalty. But you can be sure plenty of Bs players were rolling their eyes with derision when Spacek was back in the game moments after he lay on the ice as if he were seriously injured.
Then the refs compounded those mistakes with weak-sauce calls on Nathan Horton for slashing and Patrice Bergeron for goaltender inference, the latter wiping out a Boston power play 13 seconds into the man advantage.
Not that the Bruins would have done anything with the chance. Bostons 0-for-4 performance worsened the stats for the Bruins' historically bad power play during these playoffs.
It seems as though there's an inability to promote change on the power play and inability to spur movement, creativity or production on Bostons special teams, and it may end up being the reason for the Bruins' demise. It may also lead to Claude Julien and some of the others on his staff being employed elsewhere next year.
But thats a story that can wait for golfing season.
Its no surprise the Bruins couldnt close out the archrival Habs given the chance on Tuesday night. The Montreal roster is full of proven winners like Cammalleri, Gionta and Hal Gill, and they had one last good fight left in them, especially at home.
That sets the stage for the Bruins to soothe all those Game 7 fears, and finally give guys like Thomas and Chara that moment theyve been looking for over the last few seasons. Its no Stanley Cup, of course, but theres much to be gained for Bostons elite players if they finally learned how to win a Game 7 after cornering the market in losing them.

As a follow up to being asked about your greatest strengths, you may be asked about how your greatest strength will help you perform the job for which you are applying.

Interviewers ask this question to see whether or not your skill set is a good fit for the particular position and the company. This question also helps interviewers see whether or not you have researched the job and the company thoroughly.

Read below for tips on how to answer questions about how you perform on the job, as well as sample answers.

How to Answer Questions About Your Strengths and Job Performance

An effective answer to this question will demonstrate how your greatest strength or strengths will make you an asset to the company. When you respond, relate your strengths to the job description.

Be specific. Tie your strength to the job description to demonstrate why you are an ideal candidate. Explain exactly how your strengths will help you effectively complete the duties listed in the job description.

Even though the question refers to the job for which you are applying, you can also use examples from past positions to demonstrate the strengths you will bring to the company.

To prepare for this interview question, be sure to read the job description thoroughly ahead of time. Circle any key skills or requirements noted on the job description that fit your experiences. For each of these skills, think of a time when you displayed that skill.

Also look closely at the responsibilities or duties for the job including in the listing. Think about what skills and experiences you have that will help you complete each responsibility well.

Sample Answers

My greatest strength is my ability to work effectively with many different people. My strong communication skills have made me an effective project manager on dozens of projects over the past five years. Because this job involves a lot of team projects, I know that my communication and interpersonal skills make me an ideal fit for the position.

My greatest strength is my ability to stay focused on my work and finish tasks earlier than they are due. I'm not easily distracted, and this means that my performance is very strong. I know this is a very busy office, and that this job includes projects with strict deadlines. My focus will allow me to meet these deadlines successfully.

My organizational skills and time management skills are my greatest strengths. I'm capable of keeping many projects on track at the same time. At my last job, I was typically assigned to be project manager on many team assignments, due to my ability to stick to deadlines and keep track of our team's progress. These organizational skills would allow me to effectively juggle all of the day-to-day operations of the office as office manager.

My greatest strength is my listening ability. I pay careful attention to what I'm being told about everything, from specific information relating to current projects, to future projects, even to what my colleagues did over the weekend. By being a good listener, I am more effective at completing projects efficiently. My listening skills also help me effectively motivate others, which would be a large part of my job as head of the department.

My organizational skill is one of my greatest strengths. In my previous administrative assistant position, I restructured the office filing system to make it easier to access client charts and information quickly and efficiently. This experience will enhance my performance in this position because I'm able to keep things organized and structured, which means I get more tasks completed in a shorter amount of time.

My ability to work with many different people is my greatest strength. I enjoy learning from everyone I meet. In my previous job, I had to develop strong relationships across departments, and my ability to communicate with people allowed me to do this successfully. This job requires a lot of teamwork in a large department, and I believe my communication and interpersonal skills will allow me to complete this work successfully.
