Perceptual Wavelet Adaptive Denoising of Speech by Qiang Fu and Eric Wan. Not a bad paper, but having tried out the demos, I'm not sure that works well enough for my needs.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

Finished reading Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance:The Glorious Impostor yesterday.
Quite an interesting re-read and teaches a lot of how race was viewed in the Jim Crow Era and even up until the Civil Rights Era.
Interesting even while passing himself off as a Native American(Slyvester Long actually did have some Native American ancestry his mother was descended from
the Lumbee tribe and his father was probably of Catawba descent although his paternal grandmother claimed to be of Cherokee stock)Slyvester Long aka Long
Lance still met with racial prejudice.For example he couldn't enter any liqour store or bar run by the Canadian government,etc.

It is incredible to me how Augustine weaves his story in with words to God, how his story and God-in-his-story are bursting through sentence after sentence. Almost like he's praying the book into being.

I always wished there were more of those stories.

Anyways, right now I'm reading Elvis, Jesus & Coca-Cola by Kinky Friedman.

Thief of Time is probably my favorite novel in the series, actually. Not necessarily the funniest (though I liked it in that respect as well) but I think the plot is the best. Sorry you find it confusing; things will probably begin to come together for you as you continue.

[quote="uc pseudonym"]Sorry you find it confusing]

i really hope so. i read the first three pages, and didn't have a clue what was going on. i was seriously tempted to just put it down and try another book. now, i'm on like page 80 right now and things are somewhat clearer to me...

after i finish Thief of Time, i'll probably try out Pratchett's novel, Night Watch. i do not think that it is part of the Discworld series, but it sounds interesting.

It's part of the series too, actually (most of Pratchett's work is). Discworld is a rather big place, and there are a lot of different strains of plot that don't always intersect with one another greatly (Death is essentially the only common element).

Are you sure it wasn't the Death of Rats? He's a separate character (Death gave him authority over the small rodents part of his job). Death himself is a tall skeletal humanoid in a black robe with glowing blue eyes. One of the Discworld books is heavily illustrated, and in it Death appears; you may be able to find this image online.
