This text describes modern embedded processing systems using the Field Programmable Gate Array. This new paradigm in embedded design utilizes the Verilog Hardware Description Language behavioral synthesis of controller and datapath constructs and the Finite State Machine for Digital Signal Processing, communications and control with the FPGA, external hard core peripherals, custom internal soft core peripherals and the soft core processor. Review materials and references for DSP place the embedded design projects in perspective. This text features the Xilinx Spartan-3E Starter Board, the Xilinx ISE WebPACK EDA, Xilinx LogiCORE blocks and the Xilinx PicoBlaze soft core processor. "Embedded Design Using Programmable Gate Arrays" is intended as a supplementary text and laboratory manual for undergraduate students in a contemporary course in digital logic and embedded systems. Professionals who have not had an exposure to the fine grained FPGA, the Verilog HDL, an EDA software tool or the new paradigm of the controller and datapath and the FSM will find that this text and the Xilinx Spartan-3E Starter Board provides the necessary experience in this emerging area of electrotechnology.

This book is about hope for those who may think there isn't any. It is about mercy when you may think that no one would ever forgive you for what you have done; it is also about forgiving ourselves. This book is about choices and decisions which will alter the future. It is about the struggles, the effort needed to overcome the obstacles, the necessity to focus on the goal, and the growth that is the result. It is about the age old battle of good vs. evil.

This novel take you on a journey to a new place where it holds many new beginnings. The magic and intrigue of my characters unfold as they learn how to honor their gifts as shape shifters, medicine carriers, indigo, etc. To be taught, to teach and grow in harmony to strengthen their surroundings and abide by planetary law is practice for some. I include my teachings into the novel as a Medicine Woman to honor the creator for all that is here to receive and share.

The Hunched Man lives inside each of us. We deny him our love and understanding, not because we are mean, but because he scares and confuses us. He is our inner world, not all that different from the one we read about in the news of the day, The sooner we understand him, the sooner we can make peace with ourselves and each other. The rest of the poems and the one short story are lighter adventures into the mix and magic of our lives and the words we use to meet and match our moments with each other.

These pages are a feast for the eyes. Peruse them quickly or slowly. Either way, you will marvel at the beauty, the creative genius, and the legacies of peace which the constructors of peace monuments and museums have bestowed on us, their heirs. Peace monuments and museums celebrate the end of war and the expectation of peace and prosperity. They express peaceful human aspirations such as justice, tolerance, and reconciliation. They celebrate such achievements as the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, defeat of tyrannical and murderous regimes, declaration of human rights, respect for conscientious objectors, end of apartheid, non-use of nuclear weapons, racial integration, recognition of international interdependence, reconciliation of divided nations, and struggle for gender equality. Unfortunately, peace monuments and museums are largely underappreciated because they are overwhelmed by the vastly superior number of war monuments and museums everywhere in the world. This is the first book to reveal the beauty, the variety, and the meanings of peace monuments and museums. Arranged chronologically, it shows a selection of 416 peace monuments and museums from 70 countries and from all eras as far back as the Greeks and Romans. Fortunately, more peace monuments and museums are being constructed today than ever before. This creates yet another reason to study the past -- so we can know better how to build our own peace monuments and museums. What peace achievements and events do we want to memorialize? What legacies of peace do we want to bestow on future generations?

Karen, I enjoyed your book. I am so happy that you were able to make it back on your own two feet. Now you're off and running! Thank-you so much, for allowing me the privilege of previewing your book. See you on Oprah! Love, Judy Judy Lee Registered Nurse and avid book club member Scotts Valley, CA Aug. 18, 2009 My God Karen: Your writing and your story filled me with so many emotions. You took me on your journey of love, happiness, admiration: shock and fear of the unknown "Cancer;" depression searching and hoping for a cure; and much more. Your devotion to this man was endless, true and heart breaking. He broke your heart but thank goodness and God (and the wonderful people that surrounded you), your family and friends. He did not break your soul; although there were times I thought he had. I loved, I cried, I hated and I even laughed. You are a remarkable writer and you should continue to write. Thank you for asking me to read your (almost published) book. I am very honored you asked me. I loved your writing. What an awesome, courageous and strong woman you are! Love, Theresa Jung Manager: Mission Ranch Carmel, CA Good Morning! I just finished reading your manuscript - and it is such an incredible thing you have done. My brain is full of thoughts about it - your ability to live through it... to go beyond survival - to live! I know you may have lost STUFF but it is clear you found something so much more valuable = you! Thank you for sharing your book with me. Love, Eileen Dr. Eileen Norton, Psy. D Brentwood, CA
