I Am Love
Luca Guadagnino
Tilda Swinton, Gabriele Ferzetti, Marisa Berenson, Flavio Parenti, Edoardo Gabbriellini
(Magnolia Pictures)
5I Am Love
Snow falls over the sprawling mansion of a Milanese family whose clothing factories provide the sumptuous material framing for Luca Guadagnino's stately, elemental tale of emotional entropy. Tilda Swinton plays the Russian-reared matriarch, beautiful and graciously courtly but increasingly uncertain of herself in these baronial surroundings. The film captures the little details of family dinners and gatherings with the rigor of a sociologist, luxuriating in the old-money grandeur and beautifully recorded passing of the seasons. Guadagnino's luscious, seasonal filming and the ululating soundtrack by John Adams have all the hallmarks of a stillborn arthouse bit of pretense. But Swinton's unearthly presence and the Madame Bovary-like potency of her sudden fling into an uncontrollable affair—not to mention the film's ability to spotlight (literally, in one bravura dinner scene) the story's grace notes—brings everything to an operatic climax that is little short of annihilatory.

Exit Through the Gift Shop

(Oscilloscope Laboratories)
4Exit Through the Gift Shop
Is it real? Fake? A clever artistic combination of the two? No matter the final conclusion, UK graffiti artist Banksy has altered the 2010 cinematic landscape with his take on the underground documentary. Spinning the story of French immigrant Thierry Guetta and his transformation from wannabe filmmaker into street art impresario "Mr. Brainwash", the reclusive, enigmatic figure has fostered a dialogue that's kept his creation in the Awards Season news since early March. While some can't get over the "is it or isn't it" ideal, there's no denying what it truly illustrates: a slick social commentary that takes the piss out of the entire genre while reinventing its form to facilitate… a window into an unknown world?... an elaborate ruse? As with the best kind of entertainment, you end up being the best judge. Bill Gibron
The Kids Are All Right
Lisa Cholodenko
Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Mia Wasikowska, Josh Hutcherson
(Focus Features)
3The Kids Are All Right
The Kids Are All Right feels progressive at first because it features a well-adjusted family that just happens to have a lesbian couple as the parents. What makes Lisa Cholodenko's film feel real, though, are the domestic issues that Jules (Julianne Moore) and Nic (Annette Bening) have to sort through. Jules is the domestic artist-type who always has a not-quite-realized dream on the horizon, while doctor Nic is the family breadwinner who eases her stress by drinking too much. When their two teenage kids contact their sperm-donor father (Mark Ruffalo), and the family gets to know him, his destabilizing presence pulls the family's issues into the open. This film could easily have descended into too-precious melodrama, but the strong cast makes it all seem very honest and believable. It's a small story well-told. Chris Conaton
The Last Train Home
Lixin Fan
Yang Zhang, Changhua Zhang, Suqin Chen, Qin Zhang
(Zeitgeist Films)
2The Last Train Home
You think you've got it tough? Imagine being a factory worker in China who only gets to visit your family once a year, during the Lunar New Year holidays. Your children will grow up apart from you and the trip home to see them requires taking part in the world's largest internal migration as you and 130 million other Chinese workers hit the road the same time every year. Director Lixin Fan focuses on a single family amid this human tide and captures the hardships of factory life, the insanity of the annual trip home, and the very real possibility that it might all be for nothing. Sarah Boslaugh
Winter's Bone
Debra Granik
Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Lauren Sweetser, Garret Dillahunt, Dale Dickey, Shelley Waggener
(Roadside Attractions)
1Winter's Bone
Calling it "hillbilly noir" is just not good enough. Sure, the main narrative drags us through the seedier side of impoverished life in the meth lab laden mountains of the Ozark, a missing person's mystery fueling our journey. But there is more to Debra Granik's brilliant coming of age tale than a simple story of a teenager taking control of her troubled family. There's the concept of survival, the horrific drug-laden destruction of the people and the place, and the amazing acting turns that take what could have been a series of strident archetypes and turned them into memorable, meaningful characters. As thrilling to look at as it is to dissect and decipher, this represents the best of the independent movement, a film following its own course, and doing so definitively. Bill Gibron

This is Cliff. He's a two-year-old beagle who could become hospitals' newest, cutest weapon against infections by the bacterium Clostridium difficille. Hospitals around the world are rife with contagious C. diff infections, which kill thousands and sicken many more every year, raising health care costs, increasing the length of hospital stays, and, most tragically, costing lives. Cliff's highly sensitive nose, though, allows him to sniff out traces of the bacteria in patients' stool samples faster than traditional lab techniques can.

Joining a star studded cast that includes Michael Gambon, Charlottel Rampling, Rufus Sewell and Hayley Atwell, Michelle plays Ruth Gilmartin.

Producer Hilary Bevan Jones has said of the two part drama: "Restless weaves a great love story within a riveting espionage thriller. Trust, betrayal and the need to escape the past are at the heart of this story." Restless starts on 27 December on BBC1 at 9pm Like this? Share it.

Food or Med Allergies
After we got our puppy we put him on the raw food. I was feeding him Blueridge PuppyMix and was adding to it vegetables, olive oil and raw yolk. Also was buying chicken backs from Whole Foods (no antibiotics added), sardines from Fresh Markets.
So his schedule was rotating mornings with Ricotta cheese mixed with apple, chicken backs or sardines, and evening the PuppyMix with vegetables. From supplements just the fish oil capsules from Costco. No issues with anything, shiny coat, active and happy.
When he turned 4 month old it was time for the first heartworm medication. Vet gave him the Heartguard. After a week or so we started to see some changes in his behavior more itchy/scratchy. That increased with the second pill.
Why am I blaming that b/c nothing else was changed. He went through steroids and antibiotics b/c he was eating himself. Back legs almost without fur, the back all in patches. He looks like a straight dog now. And I see like dandruff on his coat (maybe its just a dry skin, or it is dry skin). Today is the second day that we started to see him vomiting. It could be nothing, maybe just too much fur is getting in his stomach when scratching.
So we started illuminating all possible causes: he got Comfortis to kill flees if any (he didnt have any); checked him for mites negative; I switched him from PuppyMix to Venison to minimize the risk of allergies; removed chicken. Now he eats Earthborn Holistic Meadow Feast Lamb (only one protein source), Venison for dinner, and I still give him Ricotta once a week.
After 1 week nothing changed - still itching and scratching. Maybe needs more time to clear out? Just question from what...
Now he needs to get his next Heartguard and I think I will go with another med.
Does anyone was or is in the similar situation? Any suggestions are welcome I need to get him better.

Long story short...
I went to Wally world around midnight last night for some "necessities" with my 20 year old Daughter. Before we headed out she asked me "do you have your gun?", My reply was "of course honey, always" and off we went. When we exited the store my daughter got really scared by some guys who walked out of the store behind us. They were speaking Spanish, made some comments about her (that we both understood!) and both of us had "alarm bells" going off! I told my daughter to get in the truck and turned to give them a "look". Well they either weren't a threat or realized they had more than the standard victim to deal with because they veered off and kept walking. I loaded the groceries after they were a safe distance away and off we went safe and sound.
On the way home my daughter said "I'm really glad you had your gun papa", that's all the reason I need to carry.

"Singapore Rail Engineering (SRE) was founded in 2014 as an in-house engineering subsidiary of operator SMRT. SRE is currently engaged in rolling stock overhaul projects for SMRT, and as managing director Mario Favaits revealed to Kevin Smith in Singapore, has ambitious plans for growth at home and abroad."
"Singapore's SMRT Trains is the first metro operator outside of Japan to adopt Toshiba's permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) propulsion system for metro trains. Kevin Smith visited its Bishan depot to find out more about the retrofit project currently underway on C151 trains, and Railise the company now marketing the system outside of Japan."
"Since 2012, a billion-dollar, multi-year programme has been in place to rip out and replace key assets – while keeping trains running for 20 hours a day and coping with increased ridership.
'It's like trying to renovate your house while you're still living in it,' Mr Lee Ling Wee, Managing Director of SMRT Trains, explains of what has been deemed one of the biggest modernisation projects on a 'live' MRT system anywhere in the world. "
Read how the many different projects in the overall rail transformation journey will benefit commuters and when they will start to feel the benefits of the ongoing work.

Clean Up Your Diet and Lose Weight (Page 5)
So long, saturated fats (from cheese).
Why? Most experts agree that saturated fats raise levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol in the blood, which can damage the heart and arteries.
How? I'll give up cheese. (Remember, this is just for a week!) It is, by far, the biggest source of saturated fat in my diet, since I don't eat much butter or meat or many fried foods and I drink low-fat milk. I'll use healthy fats in place of cheese (avocado in my burritos and almond butter on my toast) to help keep me satisfied.

This spring, a group of students in Associate Professor Dana Weidman's COM 250 Advanced Video Production class (Jason Alfonso, Edith Morris, Elise Greenage and Jordan Thomas) produced a documentary about the Mid-Hudson Antislavery History Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to sharing not just the area's role in the antislavery movement but bringing it into a broader context of racial slavery in the New World. The students interviewed several members of this historical project and then asked Professor of Communication and Design Eric Somers to make a digital recording of a performance of the Antislavery Singers at the First Congregational Church in Poughkeepsie. Encouraged by the talent of the singers, the students realized they had something more than the five-minute promo video that the class is normally assigned. With the interviews and the singers, the student production team had enough material for a 20-minute documentary.
The documentary debuted as a private screening for the members of the history project and the singers at DCC's James and Betty Hall Theatre. It was then screened at the Eli Jaffe Competition in Rhinebeck's Upstate Films on May 19, where it was selected as a finalist. The documentary will run later this month on Cablevision in Wappingers Falls as part of the DCC Presents Series. You can see the documentary here.

This should be practically instantaneous, so it's probably the right solution. I mentioned before, but I'll mention again - if there's a way to achieve your business case without modeling a hierarchy (always an impedance mismatch with key value stores) you will simplify a lot of things. Not that it's impossible to do a hierarchy, but if you can get away without it, you'll have a lot less on your plate. > Possibility B) > I put some sort of middleware between the application and couchDB, which > fetches the requested document, reads the belonging parents from CouchDB in > a subsequent request and then decides whether to return the fetched > document/do the change or not.

Welcome to another Artist Highlight from the As You Wish Helmet Project! This helmet along with 49 others will be displayed a Star Wars: Celebration VI in Orlando, FL from Aug 23-26. Starting Thursday, August 23 these helmets will be auctioned on eBay by the Make-A-Wish Foundation with 100% of the proceeds going to support Make-A-Wish.
Please be sure to LIKE us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/asyouwishproj
Artist Overview
Artist: Russell Walks
Website: Russell Walks Illustration
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vandalayindustries
TDH: Tell us a bit about yourself.
Walks: I live in Montana, where I happily juggle all of the things that life throws my way; raising my family, creating artwork and teaching. I've loved Star Wars since the the first time I saw it, and in the 35 years since, it's continued to open doors for me creatively, emotionally and philosophically.
TDH: What drew you to the As You Wish Helmet Project?
Walks: I'm a big believer in the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and participated in the Stormtrooper project a couple of years ago. The opportunity to continue that participation with you, Art, and http://www.thedentedhelmet.com was too good to turn down.
TDH: What was your inspiration for Bobby Fett?
Walks: Florida and NASCAR go together like Han Solo and Chewbacca, and I loved the idea of creating a series of Star Wars related NASCAR-type sponsors, like Mountain Dewback and Jabba's Bail Bonds.
Then the name "Bobby Fett" came to me, along with the nickname "Mandalorian Maniac", and I became very excited about the potential coolness inherent in the idea.
TDH: Tell us a little about the process of creating this helmet.
Walks: I struggled quite a bit with the water-slide decals I used - In fact, my initial plans didn't call for weathering the helmet, but I had such difficulty printing and applying the decals that I didn't have a choice. In the end, though, the weathering turned out beautifully, and became one of those "happy accidents" that make us artists so happy.
TDH: Now that the helmet is finished, if there is one thing you could change or do differently, what would it be?
Walks: I failed to cut out the visor, thinking, for some reason, that it would be a glossy panel that sort of dropped in. That was stupid, and forced me to paint and gloss the visor area, since cutting it out after painting would've entailed another round of weathering/detail work.
I might also change the number from 1138, which is sort of an obvious inside joke, to 80, which would be a nice little nod to ESB.
TDH: With your helmet finished, what is your next project?
Walks: For the first time in a long time, there's nothing Star Wars related on the front burner. I'm working on a couple of different nonlicensed projects, trying to develop some new techniques that will merge the traditional illustration I love with the digital illustration that is becoming more and more necessary (Mostly due to decreased production time), and writing a young adult novel with my partner, a Michigan based playwright. It explores the question of what might happen if you were to meet a better version of yourself - Someone exactly like you in looks and personality, but without the flaws and moral weakness you see in yourself.

Your Ego is Extra Large
Your ego is out of control. You have an extremely high opinion of yourself.
You're quite vain and narcissistic. You believe that you're the most important person in the world.
You don't even try to put your ego in check. Why would you?
You are uniquely perfect, and it's time that everyone else admits it.
How Big Is Your Ego?
Your Animal is the Adder
You are mentally sharp. You have an amazing memory, and you're a shrewd problem solver.
You are a natural healer, and you are drawn toward taking care of people.
Your family is the most important thing to you. You feel lost without them.

Good morning!
Wow, slept wonderfully last night, and of course didn't want to wake up. The best news, though? DH is home for the week to work in our basement. Woo-hoo!!!! Which also means that I am not in charge of the woodstove! Yes, I'm lazy. There are just some things that I get sick of doing every day, and that woodstove is one of them.
Today is work for me and school for the kids. It's parent/teacher conference night, and the PTA is putting on a soup/potato buffet for the teachers. So I need to get my supplies to another mom, as I won't be there after school. It's also science fair project day, so we have to take the finished product in this morning. I'm proud of her, she is pleased with her work, and that's nice to see!
On my lunch break I need to run and grab some pop as well as some Drano. Our pipes in the master bathroom are running VERY slowly. Best to take care of it now while dh is home to do it instead of me next week.
Supposed to snow all week, so I'm extremely excited for that!! BRING IT ON!
Have a good day, everyone!!

Roads are all ice and snow on top, so probably a no spend day, lol.
Gonna clean the kitchen and mop this god-awful floor.
If the roads get better by tonight, I might go over to my sisters....we are having our every-5-week hair dyeing night. We touch up roots and trim if needed. I am growing mine out and stopping dyeing, so I will just go for fun. DH says he might drop me off if the roads are bad...I hate driving on ice.02-22-2011, 11:57 AM #3

I did SO MUCH yesterday in the house.
So today I went to the garage (new bulb in headlight - we're idiots with these kinds of things), into the city to transfer a cell phone contract from me to our dd, then grocery shopping, then picked up dd from bike shop where her bike has to be repaired.
It was errand day - YEAH - not much to show for my time but did a LOAD of stuff.
DD is cooking tonight so I am having a real lazy day regarding working.
I do have to look out my teaching stuff for tomorrow for my class.02-22-2011, 01:20 PM #5

I had quite a good day today. I didn't spend as much as I thought I would at the supermarket, and then when I got home I cleaned out my fridge. Managed to save some old crusts of bread which are now happily bags of breadcrumbs in the freezer, ready to turn into stuffing when I roast a chicken next (probably Sunday).
It's saying it is supposed to get warmer here soon, but I'm not sure it will. Must remember to top up my screenwash. That said, there's still a couple of things on my to-do list which I could get done before it gets too late in the day. We'll see how much I can get done!

This Application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/651,820, filed Jan. 4, 2010 and entitled "SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COORDINATING THE COVERAGE AND CAPACITY OF A WIRELESS BASE STATION," which is a division of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/097,095, filed Apr. 1, 2005 and entitled "SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COORDINATING THE COVERAGE AND CAPACITY OF A WIRELESS BASE STATION," which issued Feb. 23, 2010 as U.S. Pat. No. 7,668,530, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to wireless communication and more particularly to systems and methods for increasing base station coverage and capacity in a wireless network, and even more particularly to such methods and systems for placement of wireless transceivers within a communication network.
One problem experienced in wireless communication systems is locating base stations. Once a base station (transmitter/receiver) is positioned in a coverage area it is important to be able to set its respective parameters in order to provided the desired coverage or capacity.
In this context, coverage is the geographical area covered by the signals to or from the base station while capacity relates to the amount of data that can pass through the base station to or from mobile devices. Base stations can be optimized for either coverage area or capacity (throughput). Typically, such optimization has been accomplished by using a sophisticated set of tools that are available to the wireless network designer. These tools would provide signal propagation models to the designer for use in calculating coverage areas for a particular base station. The designer would also estimate the interference that could result with respect to mobile devices communicating with a different base station some distance away, so these may or may not be on the same channel.
In some wireless networks the various base stations would use different channels or frequencies to avoid interference issues. Wireless network frequency planning is used to avoid, or minimize, such interference problems between adjacent and nearby base stations.
In newer wireless systems, such as, for example, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), the tendency is to overlap frequencies and channels across base stations and to eliminate interference by assigning different combinations of sub-channels (sub-carriers) to different mobile devices communicating at the same time. These modulation schemes allow variable data rates and variable amounts of robustness in terms of being able to tolerate the interference. The ideal system is one in which a base station can serve a high number of mobile devices with no interference between devices. In order to achieve such an ideal system it is important that each communicating mobile device has a strong signal. If, on the other hand, there are two mobile devices each on the edge of coverage with two base stations and if propagation were uniform, those mobile devices would most likely experience interference. This interference would reduce the data rate for those devices in order to protect the integrity of the data.
Turning to the problem of location of a new transmitter/receiver (herein called a transceiver) the network designer, as discussed above, decides on a location, has the transceiver erected and installed and then tunes it up by adjusting the power level, the elevation angle of the antenna, etc. in accordance with the precalculated plan for this transceiver. Once these adjustments are made, the transceiver is turned on and "sees what actually happens." The technician can then readjust the power levels, adjust the down tilt of the antenna, and possibly swap out the antenna with an antenna having a different azimuth angle. If the transceiver continues to cause interference, or not properly cover the designated area network, adjustments might have to be made, or the power level reduced further. In some instances the adjacent base stations also need to be read.
A communications base station is installed at a selected new location and the base station, prior to going "online" monitors the wireless traffic from other base stations within interference range of the new base station's coverage area. The new base station also monitors the wireless traffic between mobile devices within its coverage area and these other base stations. Based upon these monitored conditions, as well as other known conditions, the new base station then determines the transmitting parameter configuration it should apply in order to achieve a desired optimization between capacity and coverage area.
After the new base station is online, a central control can monitor the entire network to determine if any additional changes are necessary and if so the new transceiver, or any other transceiver, can be instructed to monitor itself with respect to interference and to take corrective action to improve overall network coverage and capacity.
In one embodiment, operating power levels are gradually raised as the new base station comes online so as to minimize interference. In addition, if desired, the new base station can automatically adjust its antenna beams in elevation, pointing angle and beam width.
In one embodiment, the new base station would determine the most optimum operating parameters for its use, and if those parameters cause interference in the network then a central control will assist in the adjustment of the network to achieve the optimization of the entire network.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and specific embodiment disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages will be better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying figures. It is to be expressly understood, however, that each of the figures is provided for the purpose of illustration and description only and is not intended as a definition of the limits of the present invention.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
An OFDM network contains many (256-1024 being typical) orthogonal carriers. In such a system, subcarrier aggregations are formed (typically in the order of 16 to 32) for each communication connection in order to decrease interference and thus increase capacity (throughput). In order to support many more active users, the subcarriers may be time-shared and reassigned to different mobile stations on a frame by frame basis with a typical frame being 5 ms. In such systems, it is possible for several mobile devices to share some (but not all) of the carriers used by the other devices. If the subcarriers that make up a particular connection are properly selected, interference between the mobile devices is reduced to a minimum. A more complete description of an OFDM system is contained in "OFDM for Wireless Multimedia Communications" by Richard D. J. Van Nee and Ramjee Prasad (ISBN 0890065306) which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. In addition, the following references, which are hereby incorporated by reference herein, are useful for calculating propagation loss: "Field Strength and Its Variability in VHF and UHF Land-Mobile Radio Service," by Yoshihisa Okumura, et al., Review of the Electrical Communications Laboratory, Vol. 16, No. 9-10, September-October 1968 and Hata "Empirical formula for propagation loss in Land Mobile radio services," IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, Vol. 29, No. 3, Aug. 1980.
When a need arises for a new base station, either by an increase in wireless usage in an area or by the construction of a structure blocking existing transmissions, engineering calculations are made to determine the most effective possible sites. These calculations take into account a myriad of factors, including the amount of added capacity and amount of added coverage area desired. However, while the engineering factors are important, other factors, such as availability of land and the ability to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals must also be considered. Once the new location, for example location 110,
The procedure that has been followed in the past when a base station is ready to go online is that the antennas are set to achieve the calculated distances and radiation pattern and the transceiver "lights up" (goes online) and begins to transmit. Calculations are then made as to interference and other factors. Adjustments are then made to the power levels, frequencies are changed, antenna tilt (either physically or electronically) as well as other factors are adjusted to make sure the new base station does not interfere with, for example, transmission to/from base station 11. Often the results are confirmed by extensive and tedious drive testing.
Based upon the concepts discussed herein, new base station 13 is constructed at location 110, but prior to coming online, new base station (NBS) 13 performs at least two functions. The first function is that it monitors the wireless traffic from other base stations within interference range of the coverage area of the transceiver. The second function performed is to monitor wireless traffic between the mobile devices within its coverage area of its base station and other base stations to determine what level of coverage is available.
For example, as shown in
Base station 13 would monitor region 102 and determine that there is marginal coverage from transceiver 11 that with the conclusion area 102 is an area that base station 13 should cover. Base station 13 also looks at region 103 and determines that wireless devices in that area are not being properly served with the conclusion that area 103 would be a good coverage area for transceiver 13.
This procedure is followed for a period of time until new base station 13 understands the coverage areas and the transmissions from different communication devices within its area. At that point, base station 13 "lights up" and goes online. Once online, base station 13 can monitor the traffic to see if, in fact, there is an unanticipated interference. In some situations central control 120, which can be part of any base station or could be a separate stand alone control center, can receive signals and measurements from a plurality of base stations and can operate to send adjustment commands to one or more of the base stations asking the base stations to change their coverage area power level, frequency, or even their mode of operation. Note that because traffic patterns change by time of day and between weekday and weekend, base station 13 could be setup as an average "best effort" configuration. Also note that base station 13 (or any base station using the concepts discussed herein) can maintain in memory sets of parameters suitable for such different times (busy hours, day/night, weekday, weekend, emergency, etc.) and can then adjust the parameter of the NBS to best suit those times.
After new base station 13 has come online other base stations could, if desired, perform the same monitoring functions and adjust themselves so as to optimize the network. This optimization can be on a periodic basis or under certain triggers such as when a certain number of calls are dropped or when a certain number of mobile stations report high interference levels. Control would be required between base stations so that the base stations do not interact with each other to cause a destabilization of the network.
a. a path loss to the NBS from each base station (BS);
b. a predicted path loss of a mobile station (MS) within the NBS range to each BS (formula); and
c. a path loss (PL) vs distance function (this may be angle dependant) for an assumed MS in communication with the NBS (formula, model).
Process 202 measures the signal levels of each channel at each base station. A log is made of the frequencies and power levels that are received at the NBS from the nearby BSs.
Process 203 rank orders the signal levels by power or by any other parameter desired. For example, a power rank order list is compiled which provides a first indication of what channels the BS may select, the weakest signals being the most likely selections.
Process 204 tunes and monitors transmission mobile station transmissions for X hours and associates each mobile station with a particular base station. A data set is collected by monitoring and aggregating the received powers from a host of MS. The NBS knows from the NOC the channels and their associated BS locations. This monitoring is so that the new base station gets a picture of the transmissions to and from mobile stations and who they are in communication with and can take from a few hours to several days to obtain a fair picture of wireless traffic. The actual time depends on the accuracy required.
Process 205 computes the mobile station receive signal level distribution for each base station by calculating the power received at a MS and from a MS and BS at any given distance from the NBS. The MS associated with each BS is knowable because of unique frequencies, timeslots and other pilot addressing schemes as provided by a standard (e.g., IEEE 802.16a). For each BS there will be a distribution of MS signal levels due to their various locations. The NBS calculates the expected maximum distance that a MS can be from the NBS based on the NBS potential available power antenna gain, height, terrain parameters, etc. The NBS also calculates the expected distance of a MS from the NBS where the Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR)=1. That is a MS receives equal power from the NBS and the strongest existing BS on the same channel.
This is shown by illustration 30,
In process 206 the operator has previously input a set of goals (e.g., increase capacity in a certain area). This calculates into ideal settings for constant W, Y and Z to be used in the signal flow below. Process 206 adjusts the NBS in accordance with these system goals or requirements. This step requires a service provider assisted goal, for example. A goal could be to: Expand the range until SIR at mobile equals X dB (0, +3, +6, negative is generally not useful as the other BS should handle the MS unless that BS is full). An alternative goal could be to: Expand the range until a predetermined amount of traffic is acquired within a given range. Further optimization can be achieved by adjusting sector pattern and downtilt. For example, the NBS can expand in beamwidth to increase traffic or it can increase downtilt to reduce interference inside the coverage area.
Process 207 determines if there is a channel where mobile station and signals are below a certain dB level Y. The parameter Y may be set very low so that the most ideal channel is found. If the answer is yes, then at least temporarily base station 13 assigns itself that channel via process 208 and could at this point come online process 404, at least with respect to that channel. In this context, it could be a channel or a set of sub-channels or any combination thereof.
If the criteria of process 207 cannot be met, a reduced requirement is tested. In process 210 if certain percentage W of the MS meet the criteria, that channel is assigned (process 211) and the BS brought online at process 209.
If the answer is no in process 210 (i.e., even the reduced criteria are not met) then process 212 determines if there is a subset of channels available. If the answer at process 210 is yes, the base station will assign itself those subsets via process 213, and a reduced capacity HBS is brought online (process 209). If the answer is no, at process 212 then a new set of requirements are rendered (new Y, Z and W in our example) via process 214 and processes 406-414 are repeated until the NBS is operational.
The new requirement could, for example, be a change of transmission parameters from other BSs under control of NOC 120 by adjusting BS power and antenna parameters to reduce interference or increase system capacity. Also, the NBS can refine its estimate of pathloss based on ranging information from MS after it "lights up." This is based on the fact that a MS will choose a BS based on the strongest pilot signal the MS receives, the NBS can determine from time of arrival data (distributions) the range of actual MS. Accordingly, the NBS can adjust power and/or antenna parameters to more closely match the desired coverage.
The logic flow may readily be extended (line 220) after the NBS is turned on to monitor, for example, the increased traffic versus the transceiver signal power or versus antenna downtilt.

Stylist: Gregory
I have lived in the valley for 9 years, and finally I have found the best stylist for my curly hair. Greg was most attentive to my hair type, my wants, and my needs. My curls are now beautiful and my color is perfect. I am so thrilled that I have already booked my next appointment. If you need a good stylist go to Greg and tell them Tiffany sent you.

New Hampshire's largest utility estimates customers will see a two percent average rate hike this year. Public Service of New Hampshire filed its rate adjustment forecast with the Public Utilities Commission Friday. PSNH says higher energy prices over the winter and continued volatility in the market could translate into higher power bills. The utility has not yet requested a rate change from the PUC. Friday's preliminary filing lays the groundwork for next month's formal request, when the Utilities Commission will consider updated numbers and how much customers will pay starting July 1st.

Found A Perfect Fix For 5 Door Tail Lights!
Found a good fix for my tail lights! First take out the tail lamp. There are two plastic nuts holding it, one is behind where the small panel is, the other is at the top which I got access through the hole near the trunk light is. Then stand at the corner of the car and gently pull it straight out, since the little prong that clips onto the car near the teardrop of the tail light is at an angle. Might want to place your hands at the bottom of the teardrop while doing so as it needs a good firm pull. Then I cut out one of those foam things that wrap around pipes for your house and fold it in half. Place it near the teardrop part of the tail light about 1.5 inches away from the very tip end and place it there. Might want to tape or glue in place, but I have small hands so I manage to fit it in there without doing so. Then reverse order of dissemble and the edges of the tail light (the teardrop part especially) should no longer be touching right up against the body. For me it actually evenly spaced the whole thing around the edges (bumper, body, and tailgate) and no longer have the squeaks from rubbing. I think its better than putting a washer where the prong is, since Ive tried and it doesnt clip it back in all the way and or better than backing the prong out of the housing. The foam is enough where its pushing it out the length of the teardrop just enough where its no longer rubbing, yet wouldnt bending the tail light, and the prong is firmly pop back in place and clipped on. I also filed the edges a bit with a nail filer so now its smooth and no longer rough.
I ended up putting neoprene washers on the locating post and the forward-most threaded stud.
You can find them in the hardware section at Home Depot. 1/4 x 1 1/4" neoprene washer.

Hi Guys...I am a small town girl that is...
Hi Guys...I am a small town girl that is looking to explore new adventures with a great companion! I would love to meet a guy that has similar views on life, but can also challenge me. I am a pretty simple person that enjoys traveling, concerts, social parties, dining, but can equally enjoy a quiet evening at home watching a movie or sporting event. I will watch any sport as long as my back is being rubbed. :) I am looking for someone who has the time/energy to get to know me and wants more than texting. I like texts, but also like to have phone conversations. I really just want to find ONE guy that I connect with in hopes of developing a long-term relationship. Things I value include honesty, reliability, SENSE OF HUMOR, emotional stability, living a healthy lifestyle and having fun! Also, family is very important to me. I enjoy spending time with my two crazy and fun nephews and hope to have a family of my own someday in some form. (2 or 4 feet) :) Hope to hear from you soon!!! Robyn

Looking for good hinge/arms
2 Attachment(s)
So I'm not even sure what you call these things but here goes.
I built a custom low profile desk in the office of my laundromat. The office is very narrow so space is at a premium. The idea is to close the desk up when not in use to save space.
I got some folding "arms" to lock the door open when its down. First they are too small and don't reach out into the table top enough. This causes the table top to wiggle and appear unstable. Second they are the fold out kind and have to be locked open and unlocked to close the desk. It's cumbersome at best.
I'm looking for some help finding better options. I've thought of the gas style shocks (for lack of their correct name) that would also help close it when it is being pushed shut.
Basically I'm hoping someone here can help me so I can 1) stabilize the table top and 2) find a better opening and closing mechanism.
I've got more pictures if that would help.
Thanks in advance!
How thick is it?
I think I would use a piano hinge for one thing.
A simple cheap fix would be to use two pieces of chain that are attached out toward end of the door. Like on a tail gate on a truck.
1) Make that "table" into a security cover that will hinge UP instead.
2) Make a heavier table that hinges from underneath the box...
maybe with another stick to prop against the wall for stability.
The table top is 1/2"
I'm thinking of replacing it with 5/8" for added stability.
1/2" is to thin, it needed to be 3/4"
You can find more hardware options at www.rockler.com or www.woodworkersupply.com
I also took someone else's advice and purchased a piano hinge as well.
I'm also taking someone else's advice and replacing the table top with 3/4" vice the 1/2" thats there now.
I have to take the front panel and hardware off anyway to paint the unit so I'll tear it down, paint it and then install the new hardware for a finished product.
I'll post some pictures of it when its all said and done.
Thanks everyone for the expert advice!
I'm not seeing how a pneumatic lift is going to do you any good.
It would have to hindge from the top to make it work.
Picture a truck cap. (topper) It holds the door open.
For that door to stay closed on it's own the box should have been built so the sides were at an angle. And the bottom wider then the top.

Here's an update for everyone.
So the new hardware should arrive tomorrow. I'm going to stop and pickup the new table top (3/4") today and paint it so that all that remains is to put the piano hinge in place and add the lifts.
Hoping to be done by Friday.
Thanks for all your help everyone!
