This is a synopsis of my latest book Murder in Mombasa
The tale is recounted by the American Consul when in the aftermath of a riotous shore visit, a U.S. Navy seaman is accused of murdering a Kenyan girl. But did he do it? His alibi says no, but Kenya must have someone to prosecute for the crime. The pressure is on. The police, the public and government leaders clamor for conviction, so the case goes to trial. Not only is the man's guilt or innocence at stake, but also U.S. - Kenyan relations. Meanwhile shadowy terrorist operatives and their possible links to the crime cloud clarity. Will justice prevail or will it be trumped by political expediency?
Ripped from the headlines, this story is based on a real incident. The Mombasa, Kenya setting is impeccable as are descriptions of police, prison and judicial procedures. Furthermore, handling of the problem by U.S. diplomats provides insight into the operations of the consular service.
Rather than a review as such, let's do some q&a's about Murder in Mombasa.
Why did you write the book? I enjoy writing and find fiction a fascinating diversion from non-fiction. It is easier to make up facts rather than look them up. However, this story is based on a real event. I was the American Consul in Mombasa in the early 1980s at the time when a U.S. sailor was accused of murdering a Kenyan prostitute. It caused a big brouhaha in Kenya in part because several years earlier there had been another death of a prostitute wherein the U.S. sailor had been found guilty of manslaughter, but not sentenced to prison. That verdict scandalized the populace. So when another death occurred, the popular cry was for punishment. My book is a fictionalized version of what ensued. In order to spin the tale I invented personages and added plot.
What makes the story unique? First, a narrator of events is the U.S. consul, so the reader sees the plot unfold from his perspective. The book paints a realistic portrait of what American diplomats do overseas when citizens get in trouble. Additionally, the murder troubled U.S. Kenyan relations more broadly so aspects of international diplomacy are included. Secondly, the setting of the novel in Mombasa, Kenya is impeccable and the characters realistic, so those who know Kenya will find that the tale rings true.
So what sort of book is it? It is a murder mystery that evolves into a courtroom drama all against a backdrop of diplomatic intrigue and maneuvering. The question is did the sailor kill the girl or not? If not, who did? and why? And even if he did not, will he be convicted of the crime anyway?
Why did you self publish it? The publishing world is a brutal one. Self publishing via www.smashwords.com lets me put the book out there quickly for readers to enjoy. Also it's inexpensive at only $2.99. Murder in Mombasa is only available in ebook format, also from the istore and nook. The kindle version is available from smashwords and will soon appear on amazon.

1999 Plymouth Neon
Friends don't let friends buy neons
MY head gasket blew at 49,000.The radiator blew. Had to replace the battery. Short in the turn signal switch. The transmission leaks fluid. The car vibrates at speeds above 60mph, like the steering column is gonna break loose. I followed all the recommended maintenance in the manual, though.
General Comments:
The dealership was virtually no help.
It does have a nice factory stereo.
The 1st 40,000 miles were pretty free of defects. It has been falling apart quickly. I wouldn't wish this car on my worst enemy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Audio Ground Loop Noise Isolator
When the audio adaptor is connected in a system with other devices sharing the same power source, or even seprate power supplies with common grounds, a "ground loop" can be formed, causing noise to be heard related to the power supply currents.
This ground isolator is a simple way to solve ground loop noise. Just plug it between the audio board and the line-in of your amplifier or other equipment.
This device is bi-directional. Either side may be used as the input or output. Internally, it uses magnetic coupling to transfer your audio signal, while blocking DC power supply ground currents.
The output should be connected only to impedance line-in devices (amplifiers, mixers, effects pedals, etc) for best results. Use of low impedance devices (headphones or speakers) will result in signal loss, especially at lower frequencies.

CHARLOTTE, NC Jan. 16, 2016 – The Charlotte Hornets and Bank of America tonight will honor United States Army Captain Sara Yon as this season's fourth recipient of the season-long Yellow Ribbon Program. An initiative that honors veterans for their unwavering service to our country, the Yellow Ribbon Program recognizes military heroes during one Hornets' home game per month. Recipients are honored prior to the national anthem and during an on-court presentation at halftime, and are given five tickets to the game for them and their family, along with a check for $1,000. In addition, they are introduced to Charlotte Bridge Home, a local organization that seeks to help successfully transition retired soldiers from military to civilian life.
"The Charlotte Hornets and Bank of America are proud to recognize special individuals like Captain Yon through the Yellow Ribbon Program." said Hornets Sports & Entertainment President & COO Fred Whitfield. "It is important for us as an organization to highlight their service to our country and recognize the sacrifices they have made for us all along the way."
Captain Yon will be honored during the Hornets' game tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks. She enlisted in the Army in July 2001 at just 19 years of age. Over the course of her 12 years in the military, she served two deployments, one to Haiti as a first responder and her second to Afghanistan as a Logistics Officer with the 16th MP Brigade, 18th Airborne Corps out of Fort Bragg. She was selected to take part in the "Green to Gold" program, which provides options for enlisted soldiers seeking to earn a college degree and a commission as an officer, completing a four-year college degree at Fayetteville State University and graduating as a Second Lieutenant. In addition to receiving numerous decorations and awards, including the Bronze Star, Army Commendation Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, Army Achievement Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal and Afghanistan Badge, Captain Yon also volunteers regularly with local organizations like The Mission Continues, Charlotte Bridge Home, Hands on Charlotte, Habitat for Humanity, Peace of Adventure and Team River Runner. Her strong desire to give back to fellow veterans and the surrounding community has led her to pursue her masters in social work at the University of North Carolina Charlotte.
Previous honorees of this season's Yellow Ribbon Program include United States Army Sergeant First Class Jeremy Hetrick, United States Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Horace E. Booker and United States Army Specialist Daniel Schugel. Last year, the Hornets were privileged to recognize several members of our armed forces, among them Lieutenant Colonel Tracy Simmons, Corporal Jessie Fletcher, the 555th "Triple Nickles" Parachute Infantry Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Colin Hood, Purple Heart Recipient Sergeant Jesse Brown and Officer Candidate Celestine Peters.

We have learned that House Majority Leader Cantor has affirmed his pledge not to allow the federal commitment for autism to expire by supporting the Combating Autism Reauthorization Act (CARA) of 2011 and allowing the bill to go to the House floor for a vote early next week. Thank you so much for all your hard work the last few days in sending him emails and making phone calls.==============
I've got several blogposts backed up in a jumble in my mind, but I'm going to hit an urgent advocacy-alert one first.
The Combating Autism Reauthorization Act of 2011 (CARA) needs our help to pass by September 30th.
CARA is a 3-year re-authorization of federal funding that's been in place since 2006, which was first passed during the GW Bush administration. The funding focuses on expanding research and coordination through the National Institutes of Health, increasing awareness and surveillance at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, and expanding the interdisciplinary training of health professionals to identify and support children with ASD and their families.
For me on a very concrete level, growing from how Joy has propelled me into autism advocacy -- this is what funded my LEND training two years ago, an amazing program that Elvis Sightings readers heard about at length as my LEND year progressed. Via a state implementation grant, it also made possible the summer work that I did in 2010 on a recently-released publication called Finding Your Way: A Navigation Guide for Families Who Have Children and Youth With Special Health Care Needs and Disabilities.
On a macro level, this funding has helped with great strides in research and education and awareness all across the country. We can't let it stop now!
The key legislator right now is House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who was a co-sponsor of the original 2006 act and must bring CARA to the House floor for a vote in order for it to pass. UPDATE: He pledged to do it!!
Call House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and politely ask him to allow the Combating Autism Reauthorization Act (H.R. 2005) to go to the floor for a vote. CALL HERE: 202-225-4000
What to say:
"Hi. My name is [name] and I am calling to ask Leader Cantor to allow HR 2005, The Combating Autism Reauthorization Act, to go to the House floor for a vote. The funding is crucial for research and awareness on autism, and support for children with autism and their families. Thank you."
If you've got another couple of minutes, here are some quick next-steps:
1) Follow up the call to Cantor's office with an e-mail --
2) E-mail your own Senators & Representative: if you follow this link to the Autism Society "Vote 4 Autism" page, you can read more about CARA and then click on the "Take Action" button to send messages to your legislators.
Thank you so much, in advance!
P.S. The initiative is crucial but the title of the law is... unfortunate. I like the acronym CARA much better, meaning "dear" or "beloved" in several languages.

Driver Privacy Protection Act Notice
Effective April 15, 2013
The Greenfield Police Department has temporarily limited the release of all records, pending the outcome of a decision issued by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Senne v. Vill. of Palatine, 695 F.3d 597, (7th Cir. 2012 en banc, cert. pet. filed 11/5/2012). The Senne decision held that under the provisions of the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) personal identifying information derived from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), including an individual's date of birth, driver's license number, social security number, home address, home telephone number, photograph, and medical or disability information is prohibited from disclosure to the public unless one of 14 DPPA exceptions apply. The DPPA preempts any conflicting state law that regulates the dissemination of motor vehicle record information. Collier v. Dickinson, 477 F.3d 1306, 1312, n. 3 (11th Cir. 2007).
The exceptions to the prohibition to disclosure under the DPPA are found at 18 U.S.C. § 2721(b). The DPPA does allow release of records, with the exclusion of personal and highly restricted personal information, derived from the DMV records. All non-personal information contained within records can be released to a requesting third party. For example, personal information does not include factual information as to where, when or how an accident occurred.
Accordingly, in compliance with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals decision and advice from the City Attorney's Office, the Greenfield Police Department, like many other police departments across the state, can no longer make available records that include personal information prohibited from disclosure by the DPPA unless an exception applies.
If no DPPA exception applies any member of the public may obtain a traffic accident report with personal identifying information redacted from:

In July 2007 I saw Daniel Johnston play at London's Union Chapel, and I blogged afterwards that it was one of the best shows I'd ever seen.
I've only just found out – though it happened over a year ago – that that acclaimed performance was recorded and can be purchased. Wow. I need to get this.
You can sample a couple of the tracks from that magical night: here are the vids.

text: This may be a silly question but is it possible for a shock to make you flip back to AF? I had cardioversion 3 weeks ago and everything was going ok. Was feeling better than I had for ages. One night, about a week ago, one of my neighbours decided it would be a good idea to start burning some rubbish in his garden. It was about 1 am when an very loud bang woke me up. I don't know what he had put on the fire but it had exploded, I could literally feel my heart pounding like crazy in my chest. Since then I've started to feel breathless again and ecg shows I have flipped back so am now having to take more medication. Could that shock of the explosion of caused it or is it just a coincidence?

It's a question of a purist approach or a pragmatic approach—the ivory tower or the open market. This dichotomy has a strong presence in software development, but it exists almost everywhere.
Learning an Instrument
One example of this purist-pragmatist divide occurs when learning to play an instrument. Let's say you wanted to play the piano. You wouldn't have to go to lessons with too many different teachers before you would recognize different beliefs about teaching methods.
The purist approach would involve learning all of the proper techniques first. New student would learn scales, chords, finger position, and a bunch of other fundamentals, and then they would drill and drill and drill until they could do these things perfectly without thinking. They would do all kinds of exercises completely outside the context of real music, and then when they were ready, they could begin playing classical pieces. This is the ivory tower of perfection. Mistakes are eliminated quickly, bad habits are never allowed to take root, and the student is always on the straight and narrow path to musical virtuosity.
The pragmatic approach is a bit different. Instead of starting with technique, the students will start playing songs right away. The songs start out simple, to be sure, and proper technique is taught within the context of the songs that use those techniques. New skills are learned as needed to play new songs, and the focus is on playing real music. The belief is that the required skills will be learned in time; it doesn't have to all be done up front. Certain techniques may not be learned until much later and students may spend more time in areas that they enjoy. The students that want to become much better musicians and challenge themselves more will naturally put in the extra effort to master the more difficult techniques because the music is driving them to do it.
Which method would you prefer? They both have their merits, but I think more people are going to stick with the pragmatic approach because it's more fun and engaging. The purist approach quickly gets boring, and only the most dedicated (or most externally forced) students are going to get to the point where they can play actual music. Most people would give up on it before they got that far.
Programming Purity
Any sufficiently complex field will have this debate between the purists and the pragmatists about what is the best way to teach beginners coming into the field. The analog to the musical purist approach in the software domain is to have students learn all of the proper computer science theory first, before allowing them to write any real software. To a purist, the right computer science education would start with data structures and algorithms, preferably in Haskell or LISP (or both). It would quickly get into compiler theory and lambda calculus so that students would have a firm understanding of the most important parts of computer science.
I have no problem with languages like Haskell or LISP. I think they're great languages, and you'll learn a lot of stuff about programming by learning these languages. But as introductory languages for beginner programmers, they're terribly difficult and a huge barrier to entry.
The purist may claim that difficulty is a desirable trait in a language, and that one of the purposes of introductory programming courses should be to weed out students that don't understand these all important language features and computer science concepts. A computer science education should certify that a professional programmer knows how to write a compiler and an operating system, is proficient in the use of strongly typed languages, and has a firm understanding of closures and first class functions.
Taking this line of thought to its logical conclusion is absurd. Do we really want to require aspiring programmers to learn all the theory first, to certify professional programmers against some arbitrary set of standards, and to only allow professional programmers to write software? What would we test for? How would we differentiate between programmers that are allowed to write compilers from those that are allowed to write payroll software for an HR department? How would we establish which level of the ivory tower each programmer could work in?
Not every programmer needs to know the same stuff to be effective at what they do, and the vast majority of programmers out there don't need to know pure computer science theory to do their work. Besides, thinking that it's even possible to structure a perfect learning path for programming and force every aspiring programmer to follow it is just silly. People don't learn how to program that way.
How People Really Learn to Program
How did you learn how to program? I bet you didn't start by studying memory safety and resource allocation. I've never heard anyone describe their early programming experiences that way. I started out programming in LOGO, making the turtle draw simple shapes on the computer screen. Then I started writing clones of simple games in QBasic. It was fun and exciting, and that is what hooked me in. I wanted to learn more because these early programming experiences were fascinating. I hear a lot of stories similar to mine, but never have I heard a programmer say they got hooked on programming the first time they learned about closures or type safety.
People become programmers for a wide variety of reasons. Not every programmer loves programming, but the best programmers almost certainly do. The desire to program is necessary for learning the more advanced topics of programming. It's too hard otherwise, and the programmers that don't love it are going to find ways around having to think about the hard topics. In the end, that's okay. They'll still have plenty of work to do without the hard stuff.
For those that do love programming, they will be driven to keep getting better, and as a result they will learn the proper techniques and best methods of programming. The fundamentals are hugely important, and one of the best ways to get better is to practice and develop a deep understanding of the fundamentals. Like the piano student that learns the necessary techniques while playing beautiful music, the best programmers will learn the fundamentals while making great software. If they need to learn a certain programming concept to make their software better or to become more effective as a programmer, they'll do it, but the desire to program originated in those early experiences of writing simple programs to do cool things with a computer.
Creating cool programs in an accessible way should be the focus of any introduction to programming. It may be messy and impure, offending the sensibilities of the proprietors of the ivory tower, but it captures the imagination. And the imagination is a powerful force for learning complex subjects and doing awesome things.

In this interview, Shawkat Ali explains how utilities can use computational intelligence for Smart Grid planning and optimization and to meet the industrys complex security needs. He notes that utilities will need cloud computing technologies to store the vast amounts of data generated by Smart Grids, and that data mining tools will be needed to make effective use of this information. The Internet of Things, he says, will also play an important role in implementing and making efficient use of Smart Grids.

I found this french fruit crate on the blog Dreamy Whites. She has the most beautiful things in her Etsy shop!
I loved the combination of the wood and chicken wire. I REALLY wanted it, but couldn't afford it so I thought I would try to build one myself. Here is what I came up with:
It kind of takes over my table, but I love it. I think I am going to build another one only smaller and move this one to the deck.

Pumpkin pie is one of our favorite things about fall and it's an absolute classic. So seeing as Halloween is just around the corner and many people will be getting their jack-o'-lanterns ready, we decided to choose a recipe for pumpkin pie this week to give you an idea of how to use your pumpkin once Halloween is over. The pecan and maple cream adds a delicious something extra to this pie so make sure you try it out.
Take a look at the recipe and method below – and enjoy!
Here's what you'll need…
550g piece pumpkin, peeled and cut into chunks
500g pack shortcrust pastry
175g light muscovado sugar
2 egg
142ml pot double cream
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp ground ginger
Small grating of nutmeg
For the pecan and maple cream:
142ml tub double cream
5 tbsp maple syrup
25g pecan, finely chopped
Here's what you'll need to do…
1. Place the pumpkin pieces in a large microwaveable bowl, cover, then cook on High (850W) for 15 mins or until soft.
2. Tip into a colander to drain, then leave to cool.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry so it's wide enough to line a 25cm tart tin.
4. Ease the pastry into the case, making sure there's an overhang, then chill for 30 mins.
5. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
6. Line the case with foil and baking beans, bake for 15-20 mins, then emove foil and beans, cook for a further 10 mins until the pastry is golden. Turn oven down to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3.
7. Meanwhile, place pumpkin, sugar, eggs, cream and spices in a food processor, then blend until smooth.
8. Pour into the baked pastry case, then bake for 1 hr until the filling has puffed up in the centre (it will sink as it cools).
9. Remove from tin, then leave to cool.
10. Whip the cream with the maple syrup until thickened, then fold in the pecans.
10. Serve spoonfuls of the cream with slices of the pie.
Is pumpkin pie one of your favorite things about fall? Do you have a different recipe for pumpkin pie that you use every year? We'd love to know how your pie turns out if you give this recipe a try so let us know by leaving us a comment…

text: If you're a child of the 1980s or '90s, then you certainly remember waking up every Saturday morning and spending your day watching cartoons. The unfortunately extinct tradition is remembered at least a bit with this upcoming edition of the Air Jordan 5, inspired by the early '90s Saturday morning cartoon series Pro Stars starring Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson and Wayne Gretzky. Taking color cues from the opening credits (watch below) of the series starring the three sports heroes saving the day (not while playing their respective sports, but fighting crime!), the Air Jordan 5 Retro features a white leather base with black, Infrared, and Poison Green accents throughout the upper. A first on the Air Jordan 5, the iconic reflective tongue gets a speckled treatment—which matches the midsole speckling.

The weather has been extraordinary in Cape Town this week; its the middle of July (in other words: winter) and the weather is warm enough to wear shorts, crazy. There can still be a bit of a chill in the air though, so a light blazer or jersey is still necessary. Today I mixed together some neutral colours and added a bit of girlishness with a leopard print Alice band. I love how blazers compliment your body shape; they cut at the exact right part of our body, just below your hips, and look especially good with shorts. I did not manage to take a photo of the shoes I wore as I was in a bit of a rush to get to work, but I wore a pair of African beaded sandals.

Why Is That Old Account Still On My Credit Report?
Depending on the type of information, negative credit information can be reported on your credit report for 7-10 years. In general, here is how long specific types of credit information can be reported:
- Late payments, student loan defaults and foreclosures - 7 years.
- Charge offs - 7 years plus 180 days from the date first reported as late to the credit bureau.
- Lawsuits or Judgments - 7 years from the date filed or the state statute of limitations, whichever is longer.
- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy - 10 years from the date filed.
- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy - Some bureaus will remove this after 7 years from date filed if a discharge was obtained. Otherwise, 10 years from date filed.
- Paid tax liens - 7 years from the date paid.
- Unpaid tax liens - 15 years.
It's important to note that, as more time passes, the less impact a negative mark will have on your credit score. For example, if you had a late payment to one of your credit cards four years ago, this will be less impactful than if you had a late payment four months ago.
Generally speaking, your first negative mark will have the biggest blow to your credit score. Each one after will count less and less.
A hard credit inquiry occurs when a lender pulls a credit report because you are applying for credit. Hard inquiries stay on your credit report for two years, but will only be calculated into a score for 12 months. The impact is minimal, about 10-20 points. Soft credit inquiries will only remain for one year and have no impact on your score.
The good news is that positive information can remain on your credit report indefinitely. When I counsel clients, they often ask me why an old account is still on their report when they already paid it off. Truth be told, if it was an account that was in good standing with no late payments, I say keep it on there! After all, any account that you paid responsibly will make your credit look better.
Now, to make things a bit more complicated, credit reporting can also be governed by state law. Certain states like California and New York have enacted their own laws.
- Paid or released tax liens remain on your credit report for 7 years from the date released, or 10 years from the date filed.
- Unpaid tax liens stay on your credit report for 10 years from the date filed.
New York:
- Paid judgments remain on your report for 5 years from date filed.
- Paid collection accounts remain on your report for 5 years from date paid or date of last activity.

i subscribe to several great magazines and love them all equally because they each impart a different perspectives on design, lifestyle, fashion, travel and trends. one of the mags i include in this category is sunset magazine, and last week they flew down from northern california to shoot our offices and my very own kitchen!
i was asked to show readers how to dress a window on a budget, without of course having it look as though it were done on a budget. this is a common challenge for me as a designer, especially as of late, as custom window treatments can cost a small fortune! the solution i came up with a few years ago was make what i call "faux romans," something i've used in several of my projects successfully (see photo below).
its a bit of a diy project, so they shot 'how-to' photos along with the install of the shades in my kitchen, they looked super cute!
in addition to the kitchen, sunset photographed our offices for an upcoming issue as well, very exciting!
to find out how to make your very own 'faux romans' look for my drapery tips in the october issue and pics of our offices sometime next year!

I think I've fallen hopelessly in love with Red Leaf Tea's amazing flavoured matchas.
My first matcha from Red Leaf Tea! I also purchased Caramel, Cheesecake, and Pumpkin Pie (All top-rated on Steepster…I had to try them!!)
You can buy it here: http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/english-toffee-matcha.html
Grade: classic
Flavour: delicate
So from my previous tea-tasting experiences, I've come to associate 'toffee', 'caramel', 'pecan', 'butter', or any sweet-related adjectives with a single tea taste. Truthfully, if you blindfolded me and had me smell 5 different teas and match them to their name, I'd do it wrong.
The first thing that hit me when my Red Leaf Tea order arrived was how each tea smelled EXACTLY like its name. I ordered English Toffee and Caramel (among others), and they each smelled very distinct and amazingly authentic!
English toffee is delicious! I dislike sugar in tea, so a little milk was all the sweetness I needed. The matcha flavour complements the toffee-ness really well! I'd describe it like sticky toffee pudding with a dollop of green tea ice cream on top! Yummyness! My first Read Leaf matcha has set the bar high and I can't wait to try more!

Now what exactly is a bad habit? I'm no Saint but what's bad to one person may not be bad to another. It all depends on our personality, culture, upbringing, experiences, exposure and knowledge. Anything in moderation and without harming yourself or others, is not a bad thing after all. Just cos you don't drink or smoke, that doesn't automatically make you a GOOD person. And just cos I preach humanity all the time, that too doesn't automatically make me a GOOD person. Our habits may or may not define us, and paint a certain picture of us in others' minds, but there's much more to a person than what meets the eye.
So, here are my so-called BAD habits in the eyes of some people:
**Brutal honesty *darling, I don't like lies and fake pampering*
**Alcohol *it's only a drink, not Oral Sex in a glass!*
**Short skirts *I'm not a man and I don't have hairy legs, so don't look so surprised*
**Flirting *just cos you aint skilled at it?* *does the African American Yo-man hand movement*
**Bloggaholic *better than being a TV-addicted Chimpanzee right?*
**Cleavage-showing tops/dresses *yes I have boobs, what do you have?*
**Sugar and carbs *I need real food, fuck off size 0 skeletons!*
**Think too much *yeah but atleast I don't talk til you finish talking*
**Rolling eyes *yes I do roll my eyes, if you act like a buy-one-get-one-free dingbat*
**Spending money *I have it, I like it, I do it Mr.No Frills!*
**Not too religious *sorry, I believe in Deeds than in Chantings*
**Scare people *yes I can be scary to your conscience, maybe you see me like a Terrorist?*
**Swear words *it's better than a gun shot right? now which one do you want motherfucker?*

Sigma delta modulation has become a very useful and widely applied technique for high performance Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion of narrow band signals. Through the use of oversampling and negative feedback, the quantization errors of a coarse quantizer are suppressed in a narrow signal band in the output of the modulator. Bandpass sigma delta modulation is well suited for A/D conversion of narrow band signals modulated on a carrier, as occurs in communication systems such as AM/FM receivers and mobile phones. Due to the nonlinearity of the quantizer in the feedback loop, a sigma delta modulator may exhibit input signal dependent stability properties. The same combination of the nonlinearity and the feedback loop complicates the stability analysis. In Bandpass Sigma Delta Modulators, the describing function method is used to analyze the stability of the sigma delta modulator. The linear gain model commonly used for the quantizer fails to predict small signal stability properties and idle patterns accurately. In Bandpass Sigma Delta Modulators an improved model for the quantizer is introduced, extending the linear gain model with a phase shift. Analysis shows that the phase shift of a sampled quantizer is in fact a phase uncertainty. Stability analysis of sigma delta modulators using the extended model allows accurate prediction of idle patterns and calculation of small-signal stability boundaries for loop filter parameters. A simplified rule of thumb is derived and applied to bandpass sigma delta modulators. The stability properties have a considerable impact on the design of single-loop, one-bit, high-order continuous-time bandpass sigma delta modulators. The continuous-time bandpass loop filter structure should have sufficient degrees of freedom to implement the desired (small-signal stable) sigma delta modulator behavior. Bandpass Sigma Delta Modulators will be of interest to practicing engineers and researchers in the areas of mixed-signal and analog integrated circuit design.

Beta Journal #1: Bandits on Lomshir Plain
Are we breaking the NDA? Noooo! This is sanctioned. Brad McQuaid, Executive Producer of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, asked his beta testers if they'd like to write up some of their beta experiences to share with Vanguard fans. Shayalyn jumped at the chance. So we've got a journal for you, live from Vanguard's Beta 3! How did Shayalyn and her group defeat a bunch of bandits on Lomshir Plain, including their boss? Very carefully, as it turns out. You'll have to read the journal to learn more.
"Id tried pulling these raiders myself before finding a group. As a Psionicist, Im very capable of crowd control. But I hadnt been prepared to see four of them rushing me. At the time, I turned tail and sprinted off to safety. Now, heading back toward the camp, I was glad that I was in good company. This time I had a Rogue, a Warrior, and a Blood Mage at my side. I felt sure wed be able to handle this particular adventure."
What are you waiting for? Get clicking to see this new exclusive feature! Share your thoughts with us in the Vanguard Ten Ton Hammer Forums.

Their reaction took me by surprise. "No, this is Karlinah's story. It doesn't feel right," they said. At first I thought that they didn't connect with the scene because of choppy interruptions in our submissions. If they could adjust to it, they would see the wonderful ending I have planned in connection to the multiple viewpoints. (Note to self: A reader won't get to the end if the middle turns her off.)
The second thing I did wrong was to "skip over the good parts so I can get to the good parts". This is a standard joke we have whenever someone rushes through an event that readers want to see in more detail, just so the writer can get to another good part they want to focus on. It happens most when I am skipping a chunk of time so that the book doesn't get overly long.
When the feedback I get isn't as I'd hoped, I find it best to toughen up and listen. Why?
- I've learned that most of the time they are right. I've seen them improve my manuscript in big or little ways every single week. If you trust your critiquers, don't suddenly change that.
- If it's an early draft, expect lots of changes. It goes with the territory, no matter how seasoned the writer.
- Ignore those instant defensive reactions and give the suggested corrections a little time to percolate. Time helps take emotion out of the equation.
- If having a wonderful book takes top priority over your feelings, you will come to the best conclusions for your book.

Ghost in the Shell, directed by Rupert Sanders, follows cyborg agent Major (Scarlett Johansson) who lives in futuresque Japan, where artificial intelligence is a reality.
We chatted with Rupert to discuss his love for the film and the manga series as well as casting Scarlett as Major. He also dishes on his views about the power and future of technology. Ghost in the Shell is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD.
What attracted you to the project?
I've been a fan of Ghost in the Shell for many years. I knew Steven Spielberg had the film and I knew I'd never get close to it. One day when we met, he pulled me aside and asked if I was interested in Ghost in the Shell. I said, "As a matter of fact, I really am." And to me, Ghost in the Shell has so much rich texture, so much originality and that's a testament to the Japanese authors and animators. It's such an incredible world I was lucky enough to be a part of.
What was the biggest challenge in adapting the original story, especially anime, for the movie?
We looked at a lot of the anime and tried to develop a look and feel for the film that paid homage to anime without kind of replicating it. We did a lot of graphic anime. We shot wide lens. We created a wondrous world you don't even see in anime. That, I think, was one of the biggest challenges — creating a side of that world that was unique and never seen before. It was colorful and vibrant and not apocalyptic.
How much directorial freedom did you have when it came to adapting?
They gave me enough rope to hang myself. (Laughs) It was my film. The creative choices were mine and I had unique people around me. Some of them I had worked with a long time and others I met recently. A lot of people came to work on the film because they loved Ghost in the Shell, especially at Weta where we did a lot of the designs. They were ecstatic about getting a chance to work on anime.
There was a lot of controversy surrounding the casting. Tell us about your casting process and why you chose Scarlett?
Scarlett, to me, is an incredibly strong woman. This is a very female-driven movie. There are other films that are claiming to be feminist movies. We created a superhero movie around a woman who doesn't rely on her sexuality. She doesn't need to be naked. She doesn't need to be falling for the men around her. She stands alone with a spearhead. Scarlett, to me, is one of those actresses who has that power in her body of work and also in how she carries herself.
What did she bring to the table that surprised you the most?
I think she's a very collaborative partner and has way more film experience than I have. She has an incredible body of work and has played some of the most iconic roles in modern film. It was an honor to work with her. We had a very good working relationship.
How did this film impact your view of technology?
It's important we don't trust in technology too much. We have to set up checks and balances so that we literally avoid our own extinction. Stephen Hawking's terrifying quote that the AI would be humanity's greatest but last invention really kind of haunted me through making the film, but there's an optimistic side to technology, although at the moment no one's really monitoring it. Our film is an optimistic view of technology. There are warnings in there, but also amazement at what technology is capable of. I think that is the balance really, between being amazed and being extinct. ~Marriska Fernandes

Peter had an interview today for a summer camp program, CISV (Children's International Summer Villages). It was founded after WWII as a way to promote world peace. The idea is to get children to make friends with other children around the world. It's hard to go to war with people like yourself, and if kids can learn that people with different language, culture, and appearance are really much like themselves, maybe it will help.
"Delegations" are groups of 4 kids and one supervisor from the local area, who get together several times to become friends. Then in the summer they head off to meet 11 other delegations from countries from all around the world. They spend one whole month away from home doing team building, roleplaying, and multicultural activities.
I was very proud of Peter during the interview. He really wants to go, and knew it was important to impress the interviewer that he knew enough Norwegian to be able to talk to and become friends with the other kids in his delegation. I've never heard him talk Norwegian so well before, asking well-formed questions and seeming to understand most of what was said to and asked of him.
He passed, and has been offered a position in the program. If we accept, he'll be spending a month in Amsterdam this summer. Exciting!

You could say 'Three' is the magic number for the Hungarian trio Anett Gálvölgyi, Anna Zsófia Kormos and Márton Miovác who are the young designers behind the relatively new brand The FOUR. These two young women and young man, joined forces whilst attending the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, and I'm glad they did! whilst peering over their enticing well styled look-book.
the FOUR new collection, Mondaine, incorporates the idea of travel and globalism, cosmopolitan, reconstructed identity
Photography – Balázs Máté Styling – Andi Gönczy Make-up – Ágnes Horváth Hair – Márton Miovác Models – Julia at VM, Adrienn at FACE
The rich thick fabrics with rich patterns and embroideries seem to be inspired by African and Asian textiles. If I could, I would snap up every outerwear from this collection, a 100 x times faster than the above travelling escalator. I will see you later escalator . . .

Best wishes for the new year Vreni. You have made lots of beautiful things this year. I like your thought that life is too short so just go for it and make what you want and don't worry about UFO's. I think I'll try that for 2013 and hopefully along the way I'll finish some UFO's too.

Perhaps you should do movie. Comic costumes usually go through changes and they might change the comic costumes because of the new movie's popularity. It probably would be difficult to do, but maybe you can implement their comic costumes through a different color pallette. It is a great idea to add the guardians and new features! I am excited all over again! Here's an idea that you may or may not want to consider: You know about the new Mortal Kombat game where character's have different set of fighting styles (same character but different moves). Since you have all these fans asking their preferences for different move sets, you could make an option of having each character to have 3 different fighting styles. I understand you have limitations with the openbor engine but I just wanted to give you some ideas to brainstorm on. ( I like wolverine as he is, btw)ReplyDeleteReplies
yea, i belive soon they will change comics costumes to be like movie.Delete
also there are time limitation, alternate modes could work to a small roster.
- AnonymousSeptember 17, 2014 at 11:27 AM
Yeah, I figured as much. Awesome job still. If I had the time or the know-how I would gladly offer you a helping hand.Delete
movies and mugen :)ReplyDelete

Star lord and Groot looks better at movie
Rocket and Gamora at comics
... Drax look same...
i will go with movie.

Golden Globes 2016 Nominations
Awards season is about to be in full swing at the start of next year, when we look back at the previous year and some people in various groups decide what were the best things about last year. Sometimes I don't agree with them but other times I'm pleased with their choices.
The Golden Globes are fun to watch because they combine television and movies, two of my favorite forms of entertainment. Last year, thanks to the globes, I found out about great shows like The Affair and increased my chances of guessing the Oscars right. I haven't seen all the shows and movies yet, because who has the time?, but I would like to look at the nominees and make predictions from what I have seen and a few lucky guesses.
The Best Motion Picture Drama Category is stacked with five good films. My favorite would be Mad Max: Fury Road, hands down. I want this movie to win as many awards as it can. It is one of my favorite movies ever. The only other movie I've seen in this category is Spotlight, which was also riveting, shocking, well-acted and directed. The film has generated some momentum and may take it home. The Revenant is the film I'm most excited to see, the second movie to feature Tom Hardy, though he gets no love for his performance in Legend. Inarritu returns after dominating last year with Birdman, and I wouldn't mind a repeat. Both Carol and Room look powerful, and there will certainly be some heavy competition for the Best Actress award between them.
The Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical also has some good movies and also some surprises. Spy won't win much but the nomination makes me want to catch it now. Trainwreck was decent but the end seemed a bit contrived. The Martian was certainly an enjoyable film and exciting too, but I wouldn't consider it award winning caliber. Joy and The Big Short are the two contenders for this awards. Joy is Jennifer Lawrence's powerful project with David O. Russell at the helm again. It looks amazing and can't wait to see it over the holidays. The Big Short boasts a stellar cast including Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carrell, and Brad Pitt. It looks funny and from what I've read, it delivers a powerful message on the financial crisis. I'll go with Joy but reserve total judgement until I've got both films.
The Best Director Motion Picture Category looks like a fight between Alejandro Inarritu and George Miller but I think Mad Max takes the gold because the movie is just so breathtaking.
Best Actor Drama has some heavy hitters like Bryan Cranston's Trumbo the brilliant, prolific writer who fought communist hatred in Hollywood, Michael Fassbender's Steve Jobs who changed the world we live in, Will Smith's Dr. Bennet Omalu who investigates traumatic brain injury in football players, Eddie Redmayne's Lili Elbe the first ever transgender man who became a woman, and Leonardo Dicaprio's Hugh Glass who survived the harrowing journey through harsh wilderness. I'll guess Dicaprio takes the gold but I haven't seen Smith or Redmayne so there could be surprises.
Best Actress Drama, I mentioned this award earlier. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara both got nominated for Carol and their powerful love story, still got to see it. Brie Larson is my pick for Room, the story of a kidnap victim and her son. Saoirse Ronan was great but I doubt she would take it. Alicia Vikander gave two great performances and could very well surprise.
Best Actor and Actress Comedy always have a few oddballs, like Al Pacino for Danny Collins, but I see Jennifer Lawrence powerful business woman in Joy and perhaps one of The Big Short guys, either Chritsian Bale or Steve Carell, taking home the gold. Matt Damon could be a possible surprise and maybe Amy Schumer or Maggie Smith.
Best Supporting Actor should go to Idris Elba for his role in Beasts of No Nation. Best Supporting Actress could be Alicia Vikander for just having a great year but I would also like to see Jennifer Jason Leigh's outlaw in the Hateful Eight take home gold.
The Hateful Eight should also take home screenplay but Spotlight's momentum will be tough to put off if it continues to grow.
Television is a whole different ballgame. I think Game of Thrones should win drama but I've heard good things about Mr. Robot and Narcos was a show that hasn't got enough attention. Transparent may take comedy again unless Orange is the New Black has something to say about it, though this wasn't the women prison comedy's best outing. Jon Hamm and Aziz Ansari should take Best Drama and Comedy actor respectively. Either Viola Davis or Taraji P. Henson might win the Best Drama Actress and Julia Louis-Dreyfus could take another gold for comedy. I'd like to see Fargo win limited series as well.
We will find how wrong I was and who the winners are on January 10, 2016!

Hummus is probably vegans' favourite food. I am not vegan, but I bought once hummus from the supermarket and it was a huge disappointment. So I decided to give it a try again, but I said that it's time to make it by myself. This hummus recipe is super easy, not to mention healthy, because it has lots of proteins and can successfully substitute meat.
Hummus is an Egyptian based recipe and its main ingredients are smashed chickpeas and tahini. Tahini is a paste make from sesame seeds and oil (you can find it in any supermarket at the international food sector).
Homemade Hummus Recipe
|Cook time
|30 mins
What you will need
Here are some things you need to know about dried chickpeas:
- let them soak overnight, or at least for 8 hours before you boil it;
- let them boil for at least 40 mins; check them to see if they are soft and eatable; 😀
- chickpeas have a thin skin around them – like beans – and you have to peel them (one by one) if you want a smooth, creamy hummus.
After your chickpeas is boiled, you'll have to let them cool down a little and after that peel all of them. It will take some time, but it will so much worth it. Don't let them dry, peel them while they're still a little wet; it will be easier to peel them this way.
Don't throw the water where the chickpeas boiled!
Now that your chickpeas are all smooth and shiny is time to blend them. I tried to use a fork, but it's a dead end. Use a blender or a vertical mixer to form a paste. To blend them easily, add some of the water where the chickpeas have boiled; it won't change its taste at all.
After you blended all the chickpeas, add a couple of tablespoons of tahini and mix well. I am not a huge fan of tahini, but if you are really crazy about it you can add more that a couple of tablespoons. I actually ended up adding almost three tablespoons. 😀
Now you can add the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, the salt and the turmeric. Mix well and your homemade hummus recipe is done! I love the subtle flavour of the turmeric, not to mention the colour.
Hummus is a great dip-in, it's super healthy and an amazing substitute for meat, in case you're trying to avoid eating meat.
I am so happy that I managed to make my own hummus recipe; it's definitely way better that the one from the supermarket, it's easy to make and DELICIOUS!
I really hope that you enjoy this recipe and let me know if you gave it a try! Also if you liked this recipe please share it with your friends as well!

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
I love Hebrews 12:1-2. I first turned my attention to it as result of a conversation I had with Pastor Chris Boston of the Lamb of God Missionary Baptist Church (thanks Chris!). It tells us to look back on the testimony and witness of those who came before us and, drawing on that "cloud of witnesses", drop everything and every sin that holds us back.
Then God tells us to run – with perseverance – the unique race that God has specifically marked out for each one of us.
Watch the video of this amazing young runner. It is not over until it's over. She perseveres and is victorious in the end.
But that's not all. Watch it again – carefully. Watch her face in the last 30-40 seconds of the video. She is not anxious, she is not fretting. She does not even appear aware of her surroundings. No, she is running her race. She is not worried about anyone or anything. Look . . . at first she doesn't even realize she's won. So it will be for you.
Don't worry about what the world or anyone else says or does. Get clarity about what God has in store for you.
And, run your race.
Persevere, and run your race to victory.

More information
Although Mountain Goats (or Rocky Mountain Goats) are not truly goats,
they are found in mountains.
They usually stay above the tree-line and might climb to elevations of 3,000 meters.
By staying near rocky cliffs, mountain goats avoid most potential predators.
These sure-footed animals are well built for life on the steep slopes. They can
spread their cloven hooves when necessary, and pads on their inner feet prevent
slipping. Declaws, at the back of their feet, offer additional traction.
Kids are born in late Spring and can run and climb within a few hours. They
generally follow their mothers for the first year.

I love to look at pics of my kiddo in all of her Halloween costumes over the years, and even better yet, to compare them and watch her grow from year-to-year. I decided to make a place to showcase a trick-or-treat photo from each year so we could do just that...watch her grow, all in one place. I came up with this wall hanging, and I love how it turned out!
I decided to go with 12 picture pockets total, still leaving me with 5 years of photos left. (She's 7, so if we're still dressing up by then, I can make a second one!) If you have multiple kiddos, you could take a group pic each year and showcase them that way.
This really wasn't a hard project at all, so new sewers I think will be just fine with it! I'm new to tutorials, so if you have questions or I'm not clear, don't hesitate to shoot me an email and I'll do the best I can to help you out! This fits nicely on a narrow closet door, so you could surely widen it if you wish with no problem. Each picture pocket is 5 x 7, so old photos (regardless of direction) fit nicely.
Total fabric you will need:
1/2yd front facing fabric, 1/2 yd backside fabric, 1/2yd black felt, & 1/2 yd (8 gauge) vinyl
Cut your pieces to:
1/2yd front facing fabric, 1/2 yd backside fabric, 1/2yd black felt, & 1/2 yd (8 gauge) vinyl
Cut your pieces to:
(1) front facing fabric, 38" x 18.5"
(1) backside fabric, 38" x 18.5"
(12) vinyl sheets, 5" x 7" (I used 8 gauge)
(12) black felt, 5.5" x 7.5"
fusible fleece, ~ 37" x 17.5" (or something close to that...you want to leave a border of fabric around your fleece to make sewing easier)
long strip of homemade bias tape to use as your hanger OR ribbon
fabric adhesive spray
skinny dowel rod
thread, sewing machine, scissors, etc.
1. First cut all of your pieces.
2. First you will sew your vinyl pieces onto each rectangle of black felt to make the photo pockets. Don't be afraid of the vinyl, but I do have to tell you...I tried multiple ways to keep that stuff from sliding and couldn't do it. I resorted to investing in a can of fabric spray adhesive and it was a piece of cake to use. It works great! So I recommend it highly (unless of course you know some wonderful trick that I don't!)
So...spray the edges of each piece of black felt (one at a time) on three sides, then align your vinyl piece to each one and press down. It's a miracle I tell you! :)
I put a scrap piece of 12x12 paper underneath to keep things clean.
3. Once you have all of your photo pockets adhered with the spray, simply stitch along 3 sides to seal them up completely. The vinyl is noooo problem to sew on, so don't be afraid of it. The spray is made for this, so you won't gum up your needle.
4. Now you have all of your photo pockets made, so set them aside. Next iron your fusible fleece to your backside fabric. You want to cut it so there's a border of fabric all the way around. Believe me, this makes sewing much easier and also looks much better, too.
5. Set that aside. Now take your front fabric and line up your photo pockets how you want them. I did 6 along each side. Pin them in place, then stitch all the way around each one. You really have 3 options here: a)You can use Liquid Stitch to adhere the pockets on permanently (that stuff is phenomenal and really works like it has been sewn on); b) you can use the spray adhesive again to hold the pockets in place for sewing, or c)you can pin them on and sew. It's up to you...all those choices work well. Pinning them is a bit cumbersome just from lining things up repeatedly.
TIP: Make sure each pocket is facing the right direction for you to insert a photo!!
6. You're almost done! Now pin the front fabric and back fabric, RIGHT SIDES together on 3 sides. Sew along 3 sides with a 1/4" seam allowance, clip the corners, then turn right side out.
7. Now fold under the opening and topstitch it, along with a topstitch all the way around. This is an optional step, but I think it looks much more finished this way! You can see the top stitching in the next photo.
8. Now fold under the top about 1/2" to 3/4" to make the dowel rod pocket, and just sew it down right along your topstitch. Again, make sure you're folding under the TOP, for your photo pockets to be in the right direction.
9. Turn it over, insert your dowel rod, and add whatever you choose to hang it with! :)
I made a bias tape "ribbon" with leftover black fabric, but you could also use wide grosgrain ribbon that would look great. I just didn't happen to have any on hand. If you need info on making your own bias tape, it's SUPER simple and you can find a tutorial over at Made.
Or you can use a length of wide ribbon for the same effect!
And Voila! There you have it!
All ready for this year's photo!
Another thought I had would be to use vinyl stickers to put the year in the corner of each photo pocket. I decided against it for this one, but I think that would be cute as well.
Good luck making one of your own, and please email me with questions or if you note something I've inadvertently left out.
Take care,
