Xi'an in One Day: Day Trip from Shanghai by Air
- Day trip to Xi'an from Shanghai by air
- Visit the famous Army of Terracotta Warriors
- Walk along Xi'an's City Walls, one of the best preserved city walls in China
- Chinese lunch included
What You Can Expect
After arriving in Xi'an, you'll visit the impressive Army of Terracotta Warriors. Emperor Qin Shi Huang built this mausoleum starting at the age of 13 (in 246 BC) to prepare for his afterlife. See the 6,000 terracotta figures of warriors and horses, lined in three rows of 210 soldiers. This impressive archaeological discovery is a sight not to be missed!
Feast on a traditional Chinese lunch and then head to the Xi'an city walls. The Xi'an city walls were first built in the early Ming Dynasty and are one of the most complete city walls to survive in China. The walls also serve as one of the largest ancient military defenses in China, measuring 36 feet (12 meters) high.

We had trouble working a visit to the warriors in our itinerary so took advantage of this one day trek. It was a very long day and expensive but we would not have missed the opportunity to see the site. It was breathtaking to say the least. Pictures cannot convey the magnitude of the pits. The fact that each warrior is different is mind boggling and the exacting detail of each warrior is truly spectacular. We also were very impressed with the tour of the city walls of XI'an.

Our trip to Xian was overwhelming!! The terracotta warriors are absolutely worth to see, even it meant for us to get up at 4 a.m. to be at the airport in time and to come back to the hotel late at night :) The excavations in Xian – they are 3000 years old – are in an incredibly good shape and impressive in many ways. Our friendly and funny guide Chin took a lot of time to explain everything and to made this a day we will not forget. The cherry on the cake was the visit of the old city wall of Xian. We took a bicycle and had a wonderful ride into the sunset on top of the wall. Absolutely recommendable!

I love comfort food. Especially around this time of year when the temperature is dipping and I'm in my comfy socks 24/7. Yeah, I paid $35 for a pair of socks. Don't judge me, they are worth every penny! So much, I actually bought two pairs. But I digress…
My latest obsession (besides said socks) is trying to create delicious comfort dishes with a healthy spin. So, when Aloha approached me on partnering with them in their "Bringing a Dish to Pass" campaign, and to create a healthy version of a traditional dish, I couldn't say no. Spaghetti Bolognese is something I enjoyed a lot while I was in Italy last month. It's warm, rich and seriously comforting. But I don't need to tell you this as I'm sure you've had the pleasure of having it in your lifetime.
The key to turning healthy ingredients into delicious food is flavour. Using spices seriously ups any flavour profile, which makes you forget that you are actually eating something that is good for you. This can easily be said about this Zucchini Spaghetti with Spicy Turkey Bolognese dish. With such flavourful spices as oregano, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, you almost forget you've replaced your red meat sauce with protein-rich, lean turkey. The zucchini has such a mild flavour that you really can't tell it's, well, vegetable noodles instead of starchy pasta. Also, a little red wine has never hurt any dish. It's full of antioxidants and great for your heart, so in moderation it's totally healthy. Yes, I tell myself this every time the cork is released from the bottle.
Again, I used my trusty spiralizer for this recipe. If you don't have one, I highly recommend you get one. But while you are waiting for your order, you can always slice the zucchini very thin using a mandoline or a julienne tool.
If you are looking for other great healthy recipes, please do visit ALOHA's recipe site. So many guilt-free yummy dishes on there!

InDesign CS5: Print Production Guidelines goes over the common issues that arise when preparing InDesign documents for printing and shows how to tweak PDF and document settings to ensure the perfect print. The course shows how to avoid mistakes by preparing documents correctly upfront, covering document construction, layout, ink management settings, and output options. Prepress processes in Acrobat are also covered, including accurate soft proofing and packaging in the PDF/X formats. Exercise files accompany the course.
Using Separations Preview, we're going to look at how we can tell if ink is knocking out or overprinting. We'll also talk about what that means. I'm going to go ahead and open up my Separations Preview panel and not only can I see what inks are used in my document, but I can also tell if they are knocking out or overprinting. For example, if I turn off my Pantone 179, I can see over here my Fact File goes away along with my type down here, at least part of it. Let me go ahead and turn my Pantone plate back on.
I can see that the rectangle was knocking out because I saw white behind it. I also noticed my 'navel' is overprinting, but the 'oranges' is knocking out. Let me look at that again, and you can see when I turn it off, there is white space behind the 'oranges', but this image behind the 'navel'. So you can also see how the color varies between the two words. So how would I fix that? I'm going to go ahead and select my Type tool and I'm going to select 'navel', and I'm going to open up my Attributes panel, and I'm just going to deselect Overprint Fill.
When I do that, I can now deselect my type and when I click off my Pantone 179 plate, I can see both 'navel' and 'oranges' now knock out. Now I can also turn on my Pantone plate and turn off my black plate and notice there is no white space behind my black type, so that means all my black type is overprinting. It's also the default of most common RIPs. You're going to have black as overprinting in almost every single case, which is correct.
So we can use our Separations Preview in our Attributes panel to look at what is overprinting and knocking out, and then change it if it was created in InDesign.

This application is a division of application Ser. No. 08/588,160, filed Jan. 17, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,717,340.
The present invention pertains to a test circuit used for testing pumped voltage gates in a field programmable gate array.
Integrated circuit (IC) semiconductor chips are the critical components found in virtually all modern telecommunications, computer, and electronics products. Many of these semiconductor chips are custom-made and tailored to the exact specifications supplied by the designers. However, these custom chips can be quite expensive to produce, and thus not ideally suited for those instances where only a limited quantity of chips are desired. Furthermore, it can take quite a long time to fabricate these custom chips. In today's competitive environment, time-to-market is of utmost importance. Moreover, if there is an error somewhere in the initial design or layout, more delays are incurred in fixing the problems.
In response to the shortcomings inherent to custom IC chips, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) were developed. An FPGA is a standard off-the-shelf semiconductor chip that can be individually programmed to perform the desired functions. FPGAs can be reprogrammed an unlimited number of times and can be used in innovative designs where hardware is changed dynamically, or where hardware must be adapted to different user applications. An FPGA is typically comprised of three major configurable elements: configurable logic blocks (CLBs), input/output blocks (IOBs), and an interconnect network. The CLBs provide the functional elements for constructing the desired logic. The IOBs provide the interface between the package pins and internal signal lines. And the interconnection resources provide routing paths, programmable intersection points, and switch matrices to transfer the input and output signals of the CLBs and IOBs onto the appropriate networks.
One of the most basic building blocks of an FPGA is known as a "gate". A gate is typically comprised of a transistor that can either be turned on to conduct an electrical signal or turned off so that the electrical signal is not conducted through the transistor. In this manner, gates can be programmed to route electrical signals according to the dictates of a user. These gates can also be used in various combinations to perform logic functions on the electrical signals according to the specifications supplied by the user.
FIG. 1 shows a prior art circuit of how a gate 101 is used to coupled a signal on either of the local lines 102 and 103 onto a long line 104. Memory cell 105 controls transistors 106 and 107 to select either the IN1 signal on line 102 or the IN2 signal on line 103 to be input to buffer 108. Memory cell 105 is comprised of static memory (e.g., SRAM). Buffer 108 drives the selected signal. Gate 101 determines whether to pass that signal onto longline 104. Gate 101 also acts to isolate the longline 104 from the local lines 102 and 103. Another memory cell 109 is used to control gate 101. If the Q output from-memory cell 109 is low (e.g., 0 volts), the signal from buffer 108 is not conducted onto longline 104. A high Q output (e.g., +5 volts) causes the signal from buffer 108 to be routed onto longline 104.
Oftentimes, it is desirable to test the signal paths and gates to ensure that they are properly working. The simplest method for accomplishing this is to configure the FPGA to specifically target the signal path and gate under test. Next, a test signal is injected, and the output is monitored. However, in order to test a different gate, one needs to enter a new configuration corresponding to the new gate and signal path being tested, inject the test signal, and monitor the output signal. Clearly, repeating this testing procedure for each gate is extremely cumbersome and time-consuming, especially if one wishes to test numerous gates.
A faster approach is to test the various gates and signal paths on an interactive basis. This is accomplished by adding two transistors 110 and 111 and using three test signals: Test Mode (TM), Test Mode Bar (TMB), and Test Tri-State (TESTTS). If the TM signal is set high, this causes transistor 111 to conduct the TESTTS signal onto node 112. Simultaneously, the TMB signal causes transistor 110 to cut off the Q output signal of memory cell 109 from reaching node 112. As a result, gate 101 is controlled by the TESTTS signal and not the Q signal from memory cell 109. Thereby, one can use the TESTTS signal to test the signal path from a local interconnect line (e.g., lines 102 or 103), through a gate (e.g., transistor 101), and to a longline (e.g., line 104).
However, serious problems arise due to the fact that there is an inherent body-effected threshold voltage drop, VTN, associated with the n-channel transistor 101. This voltage drop can cause serious problems with circuits that are subsequently coupled onto longline 104.
One approach to overcoming this potential problem involves the use of "native=P" transistors which are well known in the art and therefore are not explained herein. These native transistors have higher threshold voltages than conventional transistors. Hence, the native transistors are less susceptible to the voltage drops inherent across the gates. However, one sacrifices speed when using these native transistors because it takes a longer time for these native transistors to switch on and off. Another approach has been to use "transmission" gates which are also well known to those in the art. However, each transmission gate requires an additional p-channel transistor as well as an additional inverter. Therefore, using transmission gates increases the size of a die. Increasing the die size directly translates into higher manufacturing costs because less dies (i.e., chips) can be fabricated per wafer.
A more cost-effective solution involves using a voltage pump to increase the supply voltage to the memory cells and gates. For example, instead of supplying the traditional 5 volts, a voltage pump can be used to increase an auxiliary supply voltage to 7 volts. This pumped voltage approach works fine for static memory cells in the ordinary functionality of the FPGA where they switch once and stay at their particular levels. However, pumped voltage memory cells are far too slow to function in a dynamic mode for testing purposes. Hence, a need arises for a testing circuit that is capable of being dynamically driven at the higher pumped voltage levels.
The present invention pertains to a test circuit in a field programmable logic drive which is used to dynamically test the signal path of a first electrical line, through a pass gate, and onto a second electrical line. One memory output signal is operated at a voltage VGG wherein VGG ≧VDD (a supply voltage)+VTN (a threshold voltage of the pass gate). In other words, one memory output signal is operated at a higher voltage level than the supply voltage. In order to dynamically test the signal path, three transistors and three test signals are used to selectively apply either 0 volts or voltage VGG to control the pass gate. One of these transistors is coupled to a first output terminal of the memory cell and the pass gate, whereas a second transistor is coupled to a second output terminal of the memory cell (which provides the inverse of the signal on the first output terminal) and the pass gate. A third transistor is coupled to the first and second transistors and ground. The three test signals control these transistors so that in the test mode the test circuit selectively applies a low signal to one output terminal of the memory cell. Hence, the pass gate is dynamically controlled according to the test signals being applied. An electrical signal is then sent through the signal path under test, and the result is monitored.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which:
FIG. 1 shows a prior art circuit used to provide a signal on either of two lines onto another line via a pass gate.
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of an FPGA layout upon which the present invention may be practiced.
FIG. 3 shows a configurable logic block connected to various switch matrices by using single-length lines.
FIG. 4 shows one embodiment of the testing circuit of the present invention.
FIG. 5 shows one embodiment of the present invention for testing the signal path from either of two local lines through a pass gate onto another line.
The present invention pertains to a testing circuit that is used to dynamically drive test control signals at higher voltages for testing various signal paths and gates of any programmable logic device, including field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of one FPGA configuration in which the present invention may be practiced. FPGA 201 includes an illustrative configurable logic block (CLB) array 202. A CLB typically includes multiple gates and elements, such as function generators, flip-flops, buffers, drivers, multiplexers, and registers. Surrounding CLB array 202 are IOBs 203-206 and decoders 207-210 which have corresponding gates that may be tested by the present invention. Gates are used to couple single-length lines to other single-length lines, single-length lines to double-length lines, single-length lines to longlines, and double-length lines to longlines. Each of these signal paths and gates can be tested by using the present invention.
In one FPGA configuration, a number of pass transistor array switch matrices are used to establish connections between the single-length lines. FIG. 3 shows a circuit diagram showing how a CLB 301 is typically connected to switch matrices 302-305 by using single-length lines. CLB 301 accepts a number of input signals on lines 306-317. The "K" line 318 is used to provide a clocking signal to CLB 301. CLB 301 outputs its signals onto output lines 319-322. Programmable interconnect points (PIPs), shown as black dots, are placed at strategic intersections between vertical and horizontal single-length lines. These PIPs can be programmed to transfer signals between CLB 301 and any of the switch matrices 302-305. Switch matrices 302-305 are used to route signals between CLB 301 and other CLBs or IOBs. The testing circuit of the present invention can be used to test the gates and signal paths associated with the PIPs as well as the switch matrices. A more detailed description of CLBs is found in "The Programmable Logic Date Book", pages 2-9 to 2-16, (1994) published by Xilinx, Inc., having a place of business at 2100 Logic Drive, San Jose, Calif. 95124.
FIG. 4 shows one embodiment of the testing circuit of the present invention in which an n-channel transistor 401 controls whether an electrical signal on line 402 is conducted onto line 403 (hereinafter, the term "electrical signal" refers to a signal being propagated through the lines and gates, wherein the term "test signal" refers to a signal used to control the switching of a gate for testing purposes). The n-channel transistor 401 is commonly referred to as a "pass" gate. Line 402 can be a local interconnect line, single-length line, double-length line, or a longline. Similarly, line 403 can be a local interconnect line, single-length line, double-length line, or a longline. The operation of pass gate 401 is controlled by a storage/memory element 404. Memory 404 is programmed by the user to store a bit of information according to a configuration that is desired by the user. When memory 404 is programmed to output a high signal, the electrical signal on line 402 is conducted onto line 403. Conversely, a low-level Q output from memory cell 404 causes the pass gate 401 to isolate the electrical signal on line 402 from line 403. In one embodiment, a voltage VGG is supplied to memory 404, wherein VGG ≧VDD (a supply voltage)+VTN (the threshold voltage of pass gate 401). In other words, voltage VGG is at a threshold greater than the supply voltage. In one circuit, VGG ≈5.0+(1.0 to 1.4)=6.2 to 6.4 volts. Voltage VGG can be generated many different ways (e.g., from a power supply, voltage regulator, or pump). Hence, in accordance with the present invention, the Q output terminal of memory cell 404 provides either voltage VGG or a 0 volt signal to respectively turn on or turn off transistor 401. Voltage VGG, instead of a conventional supply voltage VDD (+5 volt), is applied to the gate of transistor 401 to compensate for the body effects voltage drop associated with transistor 401.
In the currently preferred embodiment, three n-channel transistors 406-408 and three test signals, Test Tri-State (TESTTS), Test Tri-State Bar (TESTTSB), and Test Mode (TM), are used to selectively turn on and turn off pass gate 401 to test the signal path from line 402, through pass gate 401, and onto line 403. Specifically, if test signal TM is low (e.g., 0 volts), transistor 408 is turned off. In this manner, the gate of transistor 401 is isolated from ground, irrespective of the states of transistors 406 and 407 and test signals TESTTS and TESTTSB. Consequently, whenever test signal TM is low, the Q output signal from memory cell 404 is applied to the gate of transistor 401. Thus, if memory cell 404 has been programmed to output voltage VGG on the Q output terminal, then transistor 401 is turned on. Otherwise, if memory cell 404 is programmed to output a 0 volt signal on the Q output terminal, then transistor 401 is turned off.
However, if test signal TM is high (e.g., +5 or +7 volts), then transistor 408 is conducting. As a result, the voltage on the gate of transistor 401 can be either at voltage VGG or be pulled down to ground (i.e., 0 volts), depending on the state of the TESTTS signal. A high TESTTS signal (e.g., +5 or +7 volts) and a high TM signal cause transistors 406 and 408 to be ON, thus pulling the Q output signal to ground and in turn the QB output signal to voltage VGG. Consequently, transistor 401 is non-conducting. On the other hand, a low TESTTS signal and a high TM signal cause transistor 407 and 408 to be ON, thus pulling the QB output signal to ground and in turn the Q output signal to voltage VGG. Consequently, transistor 401 is conducting. Table 1 below describes the relationships between the test signals and their effect on transistor 401.

FIG. 5 shows one embodiment of the present invention for testing the signal path from either of the two lines 502 and 503, through inverters 506 and 507, and through pass gate 508, onto line 513. A memory cell 501 is programmed to control transistors 504 and 505 so that either the electrical signal on local line 502 or local line 503 is provided to inverter 506. Inverters 506 and 507 perform the function of a buffer. In the normal mode of operation, memory cell 509 is programmed by the user to control pass gate 508 so that the electrical signal driven by inverter 507 is either conducted onto or isolated from line 513. Transistors 510-512 and test signals TESTTS, TESTTSB, and TM are used to selectively control pass gate 508 for testing purposes. A test signal is placed onto either of the lines 502 or 503; the test circuitry is used to control pass gate 508; and the output signal is monitored on line 513 to determine whether a correct signal was detected. It should be noted that the testing process described above can be implemented for any gate residing within any programmable logic device.

Please we are looking for help transporting a rescue horse to his forever home. His story is long and complicated as many rescues are. We are looking for any help that anyone can provide. The horse is in Eagle WI and going to Arkansas. The letter wrote by the girl who would like to own him to the lady who saved him from a terrbile situation: Robin, I met this horse killian when I was 12 years old when I volunteered at a barn in wauconda il. Patty Simpkins became involved when she offered to pay share board when his owner needed some help. His owner at the time stopped paying in which Patty took her to court and won killian. Now, Patty is my stepdads cousin and since the day she believed his previous owner that I was too rough on his mouth, she told me I could no longer see him, and she disappeared for a couple years. My family never spoke to her nor heard from her since then. But I continued to try and contact her. She started a rescue in which some other girls around my age at the time (17) volunteered. We were there everyday ALL DAY. We never got paid, just being around those horses was enough for us. We all had our "favorites" and Patty made promises that they would be gifts for graduation. I was even told a few years later for my college graduation, last May. No matter what I said to her, she always found a reason why I wasn't good enough to own one of her "horses". Its been 10 years that I have been trying to get Killian. When I first saw him, I wasnt captured by what I saw, I went after what captured my heart. He wasn't always the easiest to ride, but I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Everyone always say "horses teach you patience". Killian gets the gold for this one, I have been waiting, trying, working, dreaming of getting him in my arms again to live out the rest of his days with me, Lord knows after what treatment she HASN'T given him....he deserves this more than anything. It sounds pathetic but everynight I say a little prayer to Killian, telling him "I'm trying, I'm not giving up on you, you'll be safe soon...I love you"
Please let me know if you or anyone you know might be able to help and I will get you in touch with the lady who has rescued this horse and who is trying to get him to his forever home.

Report: Keyshawn Johnson chased down, called cops on Justin Bieber
By Will Brinson | NFL Writer
May 28, 2013 1:18 pm ET
Sometimes I think I've probably written the weirdest headline I'll ever write. And then sometimes Keyshawn Johnson chases down Justin Bieber for driving his Ferrari at really fast speed through a neighborhood and then calls the cops on the teenybopper heartthrob.
This is, according to TMZ, one of those times. The entertainment website reports that Keyshawn was coming back from a party on Sunday night when the Biebs went flying past Johnson's car at "breakneck speeds" in a Ferrari through the Calabasas neighborhood.
Keyshawn was apparently so fired up and concerned that he took the child in his car home and then chased Bieber down in his Prius.
TMZ also reports that two people called the police on Bieber for speeding through the neighborhood. It certainly makes sense that one would be Keyshawn.
Perhaps the other was fellow Calabasas resident Eric Dickerson?
Is this the greatest tweet ever? Hard to say for sure but it might be close.
Either way, it certainly appears that the Calabasas drama probably isn't over just quite yet. TMZ also reports that Bieber "appeared stoned" and that the singer hid in his house when Keyshawn tried to confront him.
Hopefully Keyshawn at least squeezed in a really loud "COME ON, MAN!" before Biebs slammed his door.

How We See It: Quorum Court Will Try Again To Find Ambulance Dollars
Posted: July 20, 2014 at 1:30 a.m.
Benton County's Quorum Court will make yet another run at raising new money to help pay for ambulance services in rural, unincorporated areas. At a meeting Thursday, justices of the peace intend to choose from two options to refer to voters: a 0.2-mill increase for all property owners in Benton County, including cities; or an annual $40-per-household fee for unincorporated areas.
Rural Benton County residents will find out soon how the Quorum Court hopes to help pay for their ambulance service. It's no surprise that city dwellers will still expected to foot part of the bill.

This isn't easy.. I have no clue how to...
This isn't easy.. I have no clue how to describe myself other than this.. I'm a laid back, driven, easy going guy who knows exactly what I'm looking for. I love to travel, head to the beach, work out or do anything active. I love going to sporting events or just head out to a boat and kick back and listen to the water! I work long hours so I really enjoy my time off. Usually that means I'm on the go when I'm not working but sometimes it's nice to relax and watch a good movie. My family and friends are more important to me than anything else in life because in the end that's pretty much all you have. I have 3 nieces and 3 nephews that I absolutely adore. Which means I spend a lot of time in Ohio on short weekend trips to spend time with them. I'd like to have a family of my own someday if I ever meet the right girl! ;) I'm just looking for an open minded girl who can enjoy herself in many different settings.
Alumni connections , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting

I lived in the Florida Panhandle for 2 years and have to say those are the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Destin, Nashville, and the Mid Atlantic is a lot of fun. I've been pretty much all over the U.S, Europe is next.. (Hopefully)

I listen to pretty much anything but Country is my favorite. Absolutely love the Big Bang Theory and Two Broke Girls. Guess I'm a sucker for a good sitcom. I like a good police drama as well Criminal Minds, comes to mind as does Law and Order SVU
I like to do anything active, pretty much any sport, boating, going to sporting events. I love new experiences and going to see new things. Every now and then I like to curl up and watch a good movie but usually I'm on the go.

Quickly change directory on the console
A port of my quickly command line utility to NodeJS. It was previously written in Python.
Quickly allows you to change directory (
cd) without typing the whole path of that directory. Instead, you just type the key which has been mapped to a directory.
To map a path to a key:
$ q node /path/to/my/node/projects
Now, to go to
$ q node
To edit the path:
$ q -e node /path/to/a/different/node/
To remove a key:
$ q -r node
To list all of keys that have been recorded so far:
$ q -l
$ npm install -g node-quickly
After that please follow the instruction printed on your console. I haven't been able to figure out a simple way for that last step.
If you've missed the last instruction, please type this function inside your
~/.bashrc file:
res=$(q.js $@)
if [ -d "$res" ]; then
cd $res
echo -e "$res"
After that, you need to:
source ~/.bashrc

Gallegly's tax policy simplistic
Re: Elton Gallegly's March 16 essay, "Raising taxes just a bad idea":
The congressman plays a numbers game with the people's money, while distorting history and facts. He feigns compassion for the nation's middle class and poor while protecting tax loopholes for megamillionaires and the well-connected few.
Gallegly's tax policy is inconsistent and unsound because it is too simplistic and relies upon the discredited notion of supply-side economics. The only thing that trickles down is massive debt to those least able to pay.
The historical evidence suggests that sometimes it's a good idea to cut taxes to stimulate the economy. Presidents Kennedy and Reagan demonstrated the usefulness of such an approach. However, cutting taxes or maintaining tax cuts for the rich does not guarantee economic recovery. Tax cuts only work for the country when the foundation for investment is sound and the nation's infrastructure is primed and readied to meet the demand of the nation's business.
Raising taxes to invest in securing our future or to pay off debt is sometimes a wiser and a more fiscally responsible move. President Clinton demonstrated that possibility as tax revenue incredibly began to exceed federal outlays. We actually experienced a surplus and began paying down the national debt.
The Democrats are doing the right thing in allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire. The tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 clearly favored those at the highest rungs on the economic ladder. The rising tide of President Bush's economy managed to lift the yachts, but failed to lift other boats in the harbor. His claim that the tax hike would result in an average increase of $3,331 per California taxpayer is correct, but fails to point out that there is no increase in taxes for anyone in California earning less than $200,000 a year under this same proposal.
Instead of playing on people's fears and painting a false picture of how the current budget proposal would raise taxes on the poor and elderly, Gallegly would better serve this district if he started telling the whole truth and started looking out for the other 91 percent of his constituents.
While the economic pain wrought by the Bush/Gallegly tax cuts are very real to those facing foreclosure, job layoffs, or loss of health insurance, it is amusing to watch "free" market advocates and "fiscal" conservatives like Gallegly defend government intervention in the economy.
The president and Congress have green-lighted the distribution of more than $100 billion, in borrowed funds, to the American people without having a plan to pay it back. A $600 refund will do little to help return a foreclosed home to its owner, replace a salary that has been lost due to a layoff or pay a hospital bill for a procedure not covered by insurance.
The Democrats, to their credit, have a plan and prudently want to raise taxes on those who have benefited the most from the largess of the fiscally irresponsible policies of the Bush administration.
If elected as your next congresswoman, I pledge to help bring our fiscal house back in order and return the tax code to reflect the sensibilities of the American people who desire real reform and a more progressive tax code based on progressive principles of fairness, balance and equity.
— Mary Pallant of Oak Park is a Democratic candidate for the 24th Congressional District seat, held by incumbent representative, Elton Gallegly, R- Simi Valley.

No new news on the demo yet, other than to tell you, if it's not today, it's most likely tomorrow, if not tomorrow, it's most likely the day after, you get the point
Welcome to Associate Producer Matt Lightfoot as new Forum/Community/Moderating lead, he should be contacted for all related matters now, not me!
Still working on that, mainly testing. Working on demo help us to isolate some bugs, that are not so clear visible in much more bigger game. So it alow to us make path 1.02 better. Be patient pease, its near.
OFP developer
Please stop making new posts/threads about the demo, it will be released as soon as it's ready, not before, not after, there is no conspiracy to delay the demo, we're simply making it the best experience, the best sample of the whole experience of ArmA2 possible.
We are thinking about releasing patch tomorrow. Its quite complicated, because we need to have same version of patch and steam master. So its mean also close steam version tomorrow. In that case, we will probably postpone demo to beginning of next week, because we are not able to build and rellease all that together.
Unless something dramatic such as world apocalypse, demo tomorrow
Demo is expected out tomorrow.
Please lock forum. I just wanted to post in case ppl cant see that the sticky was updated. It took me a long time (half hour) to notice.
Thanks for the information, I'm really excited!
Strive to win, and shun defeat.
At last. Hallelujah.

Originally written on RedSoxLife | Last updated 1/30/13
The Red Sox are counting on Ryan Dempster for innings and levity. With Spring Training less than a month away, the Red Sox 40 Man Roster should be fairly set until the end of camp. I'll take this opportunity to review the entire roster. Lets face it, there's not much else going on. I don't always agree with Tony Massarotti's baseball opinions. During the 2011-2012 offseason, one thing I agreed with Mazz on was the club's need to add innings into the rotation. I'm sure if you are a regular listener to the show or were at the time you remember Massarotti imploring the club to go after Hiroki Kiroda or Edwin Jackson. Ultimately, with the club's payroll maxed out both hurlers were prohibitively expensive. All the club could do was dump Marco Scutaro in hopes of signing Roy Oswalt. Oswalt did not care enough about baseball enough to sign before the start of the season. Ultimately he signed with Texas and was awful. The only positive thing you could say about his 2012 was that...

2007 Lexus LS 460
First impression on opening the door of Lexus's biggest luxury sedan, the LS 460? That someone had loaded up a shotgun with metallic-finish plastic Chiclets and fired it at the dashboard.
First impressions count for a lot with a car, particularly a luxury car. First impression on opening the door of Lexus's biggest luxury sedan, the LS 460? That someone had loaded up a shotgun with metallic-finish plastic Chiclets and fired it at the dashboard.
Yes, there are a lot of buttons in the LS. Unlike much of its German competition, Lexus has resisted the urge to integrate all of the LS 460's electronic functions into one unit with a central control knob.

Instead, aside from the audio and navigation controls that share the large touch screen on the dash, every system has its own set of switches or knobs.

On the one hand, this reduces the learning curve for drivers just getting into the car: you don't have to dig through a series of menus to find the settings you want.

On the other hand, it turns the dashboard (not to mention the centre console and the rear armrest) into a cluttered, inelegant mess, with more than 100 switches for everything from the automatic parking brake to the temperature control to a switch that controls whether the mirrors automatically fold or not.

The steering wheel is loaded with buttons, too. In addition to audio, there are switches to operate the phone and several buttons dedicated to the operation of the radar-guided cruise control, allowing you to vary the distance the car maintains to the car in front. There's even a redundant switch for the parking brake.

Add more options to the LS – my tester didn't have the self-parking feature, the rear-seat ottoman or other goodies – and you get even more buttons.

In these technology-addled times, it's worth noting that the LS 460's Bluetooth functionality is not the best. While other cars give you full access to your phone's address book once connected, you have to manually download contacts from your phone into the car in blocks, meaning that if you change contact information on your phone, the changes aren't reflected in the car.

Lexus does earn points, however, for the super-bright screen and the navigation system's instant response time. The same hard drive that stores the navigation information can also be used to record songs from a CD for later playback.

Get past all these buttons and more – there are even more controls in the back for the seats, heater and sunshade – and you find a cabin that manages to feel spacious and intimate at the same time.

Even though my tester was a short-wheelbase version (the 2008 LS is the first Lexus to come in two lengths), there was enough room in the back seat for passengers to fully stretch their legs while reclining the seat. Up front, the seats have a huge range of adjustment and are comfortable for a wide range of physiques, thanks to the ability to adjust the length of the seats' bottom cushions.

Where the feeling of intimacy comes from is the warmth of the materials used and the quality and solidity of their assembly. Leather is draped in artful curves over the top of the door panels and across the armrests; indeed, everything you touch with any part of your body has a welcoming plushness to it, whether it's the seat backs or the shift knob.

Wood and metal are sculpted into complex shapes, giving the centre console a feel of old-world cabinetry. The plastics are of exceptional quality and fit together well; there are no squeaks and rattles, which is a rarity for this class, given how many individual pieces make up the typical interior. Lexus has even managed to give the colour grey a warmth and depth that it usually lacks.

Though styling is ultimately a matter of personal taste, I think that Lexus's new L-Finesse design philosophy works best on its largest car. With a gorgeous hand-rubbed paint finish and intriguing details (check out the hefty door handles or the integrated exhaust pipes), the Lexus is elegant and purposeful without resorting to styling gimmicks, like the Mercedes S-Class's cycle fenders or the BMW 7 Series' stepped trunk lid.

Conversely, it's not a car that gets noticed as much as those German cars, either, despite playing in roughly the same price range. While the base LS starts at under $87,000, most buyers will opt for one of several option packages and roll out the door having spent upwards of $100,000.

This is definitely a car built for comfort. The plush seats and serene ride quality make it a great freeway cruiser; at speed, wind noise is nonexistent and road noise is a mere murmur beneath the floor.

The 380 hp 4.6-litre V8 is nearly silent, except under hard acceleration, when you hear the faint sound of silk being ripped. The eight-speed automatic (the world's first) shifts both quickly and seamlessly.

Start to push a bit harder and you discover that Lexus has engineered more fun into the chassis than the previous LS.

The steering has an almost sporty weight to it once you're on the move and it guides the front wheels with accuracy. The brakes, which can feel touchy and inconsistent when you're puttering around town, have huge stopping power and fine pedal feel. And the suspension offers up more cornering grip than expected of such a large car on all-season tires.

It's still a long way off a 750i or an A8 for pure driving pleasure, but the LS is more involving than it used to be and more refined than either of those cars when cruising.

It's also one that proved to be significantly more fuel efficient than any big V8-powered German; in mostly urban conditions, I managed less than 12 L/100 km – a Mercedes S-Class I drove averaged about 14.

What the new car offers, though, is the intelligence of LS ownership along with the indulgences that define the word luxury: a plush interior (with oh so many gadgets!), an improved driving experience and an original style all its own.
