The present application is related to Ser. No. 09/608,529 filed Jun. 30, 2000 entitled, "Dynamically Updating Impedance Compensation Code for Input and Output Drivers"; Ser. No. 09/476,425 filed Dec. 30, 1999 entitled, "A Constant CMOS Driver"; and Ser. No. 09/108,606 filed Jul. 1, 1998 entitled, "A CMOS Driver", which applications are assigned to the assignee of the present application.
The present invention relates generally to the field of integrated circuits; more particularly, to methods and apparatus for implementing active resistors for use in driver circuitry.
Advances in integrated circuit technology have produced a trend toward the use of low voltage differential signaling and high-speed terminated buses. This development, in turn, has placed greater importance on the implementation of precise, on-die linear resistors and circuit designs capable of driving signals with an output impedance that matches the characteristic impedance of the terminated buses. In the past, linear resistors have been used in integrated circuits as constant impedance drivers and terminators for buses. In addition, linear resistors find use as resistive elements for digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and as active loads for amplifiers.
In prior applications requiring constant impedance drivers, it has been the practice to use discrete resistors coupled in series with a switching device that has almost zero resistance. The drawback of this approach is that the driver transistor that forms the switching device is required to be very large in order to minimize "on" resistance. Obviously, a very large device size is costly in terms of silicon layout area. Additionally, the added gate and source-drain capacitance associated with a large device hinders high-speed performance.
In standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, on-die resistors can be created using transistors operated in the so-called "linear region". In reality, however, the degree of linearity that can be achieved is limited by the inherent non-linearity present in the drain-source current equation of the transistor. That is, the physical nature of the field-effect transistor causes the current versus voltage relationship of the device to deviate from an ideal straight line. As bus speeds increase and signal swings decrease, deviations from linearity in driver and terminator circuits can become a major problem affecting signal integrity. By way of example, even though the driver circuitry described in the related applications listed above provide an overall improvement in linearity, the percentage deviation of the active resistor designs from the ideal (i.e., a straight line) remains unacceptably large at low drain-source voltages.
Therefore, what is needed is a circuit that achieves better linearity, and which could be used to create on-die termination resistors for conventionally terminated bus schemes and/or low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) technologies, or any analog application requiring precision resistors.
The present invention will be understood more fully from the detailed description which follows and from the accompanying drawings, which however, should not be taken to limit the invention to the specific embodiments shown, but are for explanation and understanding only.
FIG. 1 is a graph showing the current versus voltage characteristics of a typical prior art transistor as compared with an ideal resistor.
FIG. 2 is a circuit schematic diagram of a driver circuit incorporating a linear active resistor in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an example I-V plot of the linear active resistor structure according to one embodiment of the present invention.
A linear active resistor and a driver device incorporating the same are described. In the following description, numerous details are set forth, such as specific circuit configurations, device sizes, equations, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. It will be clear, however, to one skilled in the art, that these specific details may not be needed to practice the present invention.
With reference to FIG. 1, there is shown a graph showing the current versus voltage characteristics of a typical prior art transistor as compared with an ideal resistor. The vertical axis represents drain-source current (IDS) and the horizontal axis represents drain-source voltage (VDS). The ideal resistor presents constant impedance to any voltage impressed across its terminals. The characteristics of a perfect resistor are constant instantaneous impedance and constant rate of change of target impedance. Impedance is thus independent of the operating point chosen. This characteristic is shown in FIG. 1 by the dashed straight line, which is defined by equation (1) below.
The current versus voltage characteristic of a field effect transistor is shown by curve 10 in FIG. 1. This curve is typically described as consisting of a so-called "linear" region, where the device is operated at low drain-source voltages, and a saturation region or mode of operation, where current changes more gradually at higher drain-source voltages. The equation that describes the linear region of the transistor is given as
where μN is a mobility constant, COX is the gate oxide capacitance, W and L are the respective width and length of the device, Vt is the transistor threshold voltage, and VGS is the gate-source voltage. As can be seen, equation (2) is not a linear equation due to the dependence of IDS on the squared VDS term.
In a saturation mode of operation, the current versus voltage relationship is described by equation (3) below.
(It is appreciated that in input/output (I/O) circuits, non-minimum length devices are usually used. Therefore the channel length modulation factor is neglected in all device equations since it does not play an important role in non-minimum length transistors.)
In an integrated circuit (IC) environment, the operating point for an I/O pin is constantly shifting as the signal switches between stable voltage states. Ideally, a driver or terminator subjected to a varying voltage across its output node (i.e., pin or pad) should still present the target impedance to the signal across its full voltage swing range. For applications where the IC drives a bus or transmission line maintaining target impedance is critical to successfully achieving impedance matching. Impedance matching, in turn, ensures maximum power transfer from the driver to the receiver and enhances signal integrity by eliminating reflections. Impedance matching is also important to maintaining design target logical high/low output voltage levels.
The method of the present invention basically employs multiple transistors operating in their linear and saturation modes to achieve the desired linearity by summation and subtraction of currents into a node. This approach is illustrated mathematically and also in an example driver circuit, as described in detail shortly.
Referring back to equation (2), the terms of that equation may be expanded, resulting in equation (4) below.
It is evident that the second, right-hand side term of the above equation is what introduces the non-linearity. According to the present invention, linearity is achieved in an active resistor by a circuit structure that effectively cancels out this second term. In an integrated circuit, the novel approach of the present invention is to distribute the total current into an output node (for a given drain-source voltage) between transistor devices operating in linear and saturation regions.
Since in a saturated device the drain-gate is effectively shorted (VGS=VDS), a summation of the currents into a given node by linear and saturated devices results in
which is in the form of a standard equation of a straight line with an undesirable intercept on the y-axis, as shown in equation (6) below.
According to the present invention, this undesirable extra term is removed by subtracting it from equation (5). In an integrated circuit design, subtraction amounts to sourcing a constant current equal to the y-axis intercept constant C of equation (6).
FIG. 2 is a circuit schematic diagram of a driver circuit 30 incorporating a linear active resistor in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The linear active resistor structure 20 incorporated within driver 30 comprises NMOS field-effect transistors (FETs) 21-23. (It is appreciated that other embodiments or implementations may employ PMOS devices.) Transistor 22 is shown coupled between output node 29 and a reference potential such as ground (or VSS). Output node 29 represents the pad or I/O pin of the IC. When coupled to a standard bus or transmission line, the voltage appearing at node 29 (VPAD) varies over the full voltage swing range. The gate of transistor 22 is coupled to node 28, which switches between VPAD and ground depending on whether the driver is turned on or off by the enable signal provided at input node 27. When driver 30 is turned on, transistor 22 operates in a saturation mode or region.
Transistor 21 is an NMOS FET having its drain connected to output node 29, its source grounded, and its gate connected to input node 27. When node 27 is at a logical high voltage (e.g., VCC) transistor 21 is in a linear mode of operation. Note that both transistors 21 and 22 have a device size (W/L)1.
Transistor 23 is included in circuit schematic of FIG. 2 to provide a source of constant current into node 29 to offset the constant term (see equations 5 & 6) produced by the linear and saturated transistor devices 21 and 22. Transistor 23 is shown coupled between the positive supply potential VCC and output node 29, with a device size (W/L)2. The device size of the constant current generator transistor 23 is determined by equating the term C to the current of a saturated NMOS device, as shown below.
Solving for device size (W/L)2 yields:
Thus, by selecting a correct size relationship between transistors 21-23 used to implement active resistor 20, the net current into the node results in a linearized I-V curve.
NMOS transistors 24 and 25 serve to adapt the active resistor structure to function as a bus driver. This is accomplished by using an NMOS pass gate to the saturated driver transistor 22, activated using a complemented enable signal. This is illustrated in FIG. 2 by transistor 24 being coupled between node 29 and node 28, with the gate of transistor 24 being coupled to input node 27. Transistor 25 is coupled between node 28 and ground to discharge the gate of transistor 22 when the resistor is to be disabled. The gate of transistor 25 is driven by the output of the inverter 26. The enable signal, which is generated by a pre-driver circuit in a typical application, also drives the input of inverter 26. Transistors 24 and 25 should each be sized such that there is no appreciable voltage drop across the devices.
Configured in this manner, the switching circuit comprising transistors 24 & 25 (along with inverter 26) turns driver 30 on by coupling node 28 to node 29 through transistor 24 responsive to a logical high signal applied to node 27. A logical low signal applied to node 27 turns transistor 24 off and transistor 25 on (via inverter 26), thereby grounding the gate of transistors 21-23, which turns driver 30 off. Hence, the composite resistor can be disabled when not required, as when releasing a GTL bus.
To better understand and appreciate the present invention, an example I-V plot 33 of the linear active resistor structure implemented according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 3. This example uses Vt=0.4V, L=0.28 microns and
To compute approximate numerical values, the required operating point is defined as I=15 mA with V=0.75V, implying a resistance of 50 ohms. Equating IDS/VDS=1/50=m from equation (6) and solving for W1 produces W1=19 microns. Inserting the computed value of W1 in equation (8) results in a computed value of W2=2 microns.
Practitioners familiar with the integrated circuit arts will further appreciate that in an actual IC chip, each of transistors 21-23 would typically be implemented as a set of parallel-configured transistors that could be selectively activated by ordinary control circuitry to adjust the impedance at the output node. For example, ten transistors (each 2 microns wide) connected in parallel may implement a single 20 micron wide transistor device 23. In this manner, the output impedance may be adjusted dynamically, with the impedance being dependent upon how many of the parallel-connected transistors are activated at any given time.
It is further appreciated that the present invention is also useful in analog applications requiring precision resistors, as in digital-to-analog (D/A) and analog-to-digital (A/D) converters, amplifiers, impedance transformers, etc.

What is your criteria for going to church? Do you even go? I know that a lot of people come from a twelve year Catholic education, but for whatever reason don't attend Mass. That's too bad because when you think about it, your soul is your own responsibility.
The third one is a big one. If the homily is consistently thirty minutes long, the walls and the people of that church will probably never see me again. I have experienced on several occasions a priest who likes the sound of his own voice. That would be okay, if he kept on point, but most of the time there is a rambling stream of consciousness that just goes on and on.

Liberalism Devalues The Most Import Job in Society
What is The Most Important Job in Society? Motherhood.
Liberalism, particularly feminism, with its misguided focus on some faux "equality" between men and women (they change the definition of equal to mean "the same") has dehumanized the human fetus and devalued motherhood. I guess in their twisted weltanschauung, if a man can't do it, it's not worth doing. How sexist is that!?
But there it is — only women can bear children. As "liberalism" and "feminism" (liberalism is not about liberty, but subservience to the government, and feminism is not about the wonder that is femininity, but about how to make women more like men) devalue motherhood, and try to make women more like men, our birth rates are dropping precipitously. Liberalism and feminism are killing western civilization.
There is nothing more important to a civilization than the next generation, and nothing more important to the creation of the next generation, and to civilizing it, than mothers. One man can father hundreds of children, but women, not so many.
So why do liberalism and it's evil offspring, feminism, devalue motherhood? Why do they devalue that which makes women more valuable than men to civilization? Can it be to destroy Western Civilization?

Free Tickets to Bill de Blasio's Inauguration Being Scalped For $100 on Craigslist
If you were planning on nursing a hangover on New Years Day instead of sitting in the freezing cold for two hours squinting at a cluster of figures in the middle distance, there's still time to change your mind.
Free tickets to Bill de Blasio's inauguration, released at noon on December 26, ran out within two hours. If you weren't among the lucky 1,000 who procured a ticket, you can purchase one on Craigslist -- just don't expect it to come cheap.
Tickets to the ceremony at Gracie Mansion, presided over by former President Bill Clinton, are being offered at prices that range from $70 to $100.
Here's the pitch from one enterprising New Yorker:
Be part of this historic event!
Selling 2 tickets, .pdf format, to the Mayoral Inauguration on January 1, 2014. I can no longer use them.
Best offer takes them. Willing to sell individually if the price is right. Emails without an offer will receive no reply.
As these are e-tickets, we can do this transaction over Paypal so that we are both protected.
These e-tickets were a pair of 1,000 "Silver" tickets released to the public. These tickets will entitle the bearer to the limited seating area in front of the City Hall steps.
You and your guest will each need a picture ID to show at security.
Doors at 10:30am. Starts at 12 noon.
This is for the inauguration of Mayor Bill de Blasio, Public Advocate Letitia James, and Comptroller Scott Stringer. Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to swear in de Blasio. His wife, Senator Hillary Clinton, is also scheduled to appear.
This ad will be removed once the tickets are gone. Please do not reply without an offer, or simply asking, "Are these still available?"

We were pleasantly surprised the minute we walked into Dar Malak, it far exceeded our expectations, every little corner was beautiful. Eric the owner gave us loads of information and advice and couldn't have been more welcoming. A delicious meal was prepared for us upon our arrival. It's in a great location near the souks, the central square and walking distance to practically everywhere. You step out of the hustle and bustle of the streets into the tranquility of the Riad and all you can hear are the birds, it's amazing. Our day trip with Eric to the Atlas mountains and Berber villages was educational and gave us an amazing insight into the way people live. It was a memorable holiday in every way. Will definitely return.

Product Description
Book Description
Four more extended episodes from the award-winning BBC Radio 4 series specially compiled by producer Jon Naismith.
About the Author
I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue was first broadcast on Radio 4 on Tuesday 11 April 1972, with a pilot edition which had been recorded in November 1971 under a working title of I'm Sorry They're At It Again. The panel consisted of the show's deviser, Graeme Garden, alongside Bill Oddie, Jo Kendall and Tim Brooke-Taylor. From the start, Clue's zany humour delighted listeners. Initial research revealed audience reactions such as 'teams were talented and amusing... an exceptionally fine quiz master - witty, relaxed and a good match for the teams.' One listener, however, complained that he 'hadn't a clue what it was all about' which, given the eventual title of the show, was perhaps an endorsement! The show's many years on air testify to its appeal, which owes much to the wit of the chairman, Humphrey Lyttelton. Humph, as he was affectionately known, was educated at Eton, and he trained at art college before joining the Daily Mail as a cartoonist. An ex-Grenadier Guardsman trumpeter, his reputation as a jazz player was legendary. The regular members of the panel - Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden and, until his untimely death in December 1996, Willie Rushton - formed a perfect comic quartet. Tim and Graeme previously worked together on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, the forerunner of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, whilst Barry and Tim appeared together on radio and television in Hello Cheeky. Their wholehearted enthusiasm for such games as Tag Wrestling, Wuthering Hillocks and Cheddar Gorge ensures constant hilarity on the panel and in the studio audience. Of course, the best-known game of all is Mornington Crescent, whose rules have eluded and baffled listeners for years. Other highlights include the lovely Samantha, and Colin Sell at the piano - who, according to Humph, is about to complete his latest album: 'All he needs is the latest set of prints back from Snappy-Snaps...' Humphrey Lyttelton, broadcaster, musician, presenter and master of the double entendre, died on 25 April 2008. After a long and understandable break, Radio 4's antidote to panel games returned on 15 June 2009 for its 51st series. Stephen Fry, Jack Dee and Rob Brydon took it in turns to keep some kind of order, as they chaired this new series without the much-missed Humph, and later the same year Jack Dee took over as the regular host. The Official Stage Tour also continued in 2009 without Humph, with Jack Dee, Rob Brydon and others sharing the chairman's role. I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2012.

These two CDs contain four episodes from the 51st and 52nd series of programme, from 2009. These were recorded after Humphrey Lyttleton (who had chaired the show for decades) had died, and Jack Dee is chairing all four episodes on this compilation. Dee is an excellent choice to replace Humphrey - his deadpan grumpiness is well-suited to the role. Nonetheless, I must say that the show is not the same, and never will be again. It is still very funny and there are moments that are absolutely hilarious. Barry Cryer singing `Anarchy in the UK' to the tune of `Singing in the Rain' followed immediately by David Mitchell singing `Whiter Shade of Pale' to the tune of the theme from the Muppets in the fourth episode made for the funniest round of `One song to the tune of another' I have ever heard.
It's not quite like it used to be, but it's still very good indeed. If you're new to the show, earlier compilations containing older episodes are probably a better place to start. But if you're an existing fan who is after some new(ish) episodes, this compilation is definitely worth having.
Just as Willie Rushton was replaced by a series of guests who have made their different individual marks on the show (like the excellent singer Rob Brydon and the excellently bad singer Jeremy Hardy) so the chairman's role has now passed on to Jack Dee. Dee has an inbuilt advantage in the role, one of Humph's essential contributions was to be comically miserable, something Dee has done all through his career and so something he can pull off (thank you Samantha) naturally and without looking like a Humph imitator while keeping the essential balance of the humour. It works, so of all the Chairmen of ISIHAC in the series since Humph left us, it's not a surprise that Dee is now in charge.
So, the sad loss of Chairman Humph aside, how is the new ISIHAC? The great news is that it is still the funniest thing on radio by a mile. Samantha still helps with the points, Lionel Blair is still the king of Give Us A Clue and Mornington Crescent is still a baffling game with ever developing rules - but the show continues to defy the laws of show business by remaining totally fresh even after 30-odd years.
(Still) highly recommended.
|Length: 6:54 Mins
Here we have four full episodes from 2009, taken from the 51st and 52nd series, and all hosted by Dee. The audibook consists of two CDs, with the episodes themselves split down into handy chapters, with their own individual titles making finding a particular sketch reasonably easy.
Because you've located this listing, it's probably quite safe to say that you're already reasonably familiar with what 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' is all about. However, to be very brief, the show is very much in the same vein as the likes of 'Just A Minute', 'My Word!', 'My Music', 'Call My Bluff' or any other such comedy panel games where the real aim is to be humorous rather than 'winning'. In the shows, the host (Dee in this case) presents a variety of wacky and often silly games at the panel, often with very amusing results.
The panel across the four episodes on this 13th collection include the usual regular panellists - Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden, as well as the special guests Jeremy Hardy, Sandi Toksvig, Rob Brydon and David Michell.
Rob Brydon and David Michell in particular are very much on form throughout, with their quick wit and generally comical air very much suited to and projected across the various panel games.Read more ›
Humphrey Lyttleton was the original chairman, and we all missed him when he died in 2008. Several chairmen attempted to fill his shoes, but Jack Dee seems to have fit the bill very well, having a similar droll sense of contempt for the panellists and tender feel for the double entendre. The four episodes from 2009 on these two CDs of the 13th collection have the three regular panellists; Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, and Graeme Garden - who first devised the show. Each episode features a guest panellist, in turn; Jeremy Hardy, Sandi Toksvig, Rob Brydon, and David Mitchell.
Those of you who know and love `I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' will not need any further encouragement to listen to these episodes. For the uninitiated it can be something of an acquired taste, and it does require some mental agility to grasp all the puns and the buried humour. But once bitten it is hard to resist.
I listened to these on my ear-player on the bus and the tube. Someone laughing to themselves on public transport can quite often secure plenty of elbow room...
I'm only giving this set four stars because I feel that it is a little bit flat in some places, and perhaps the team has not yet fully settled in without Humph. Some of the episodes I have heard more recently on Radio 4 have been noticeably better than these four.

Culture Shock
By Amy Dalness
The National Hispanic Cultural Center (1701 Fourth Street SW) has been banging out weekend after weekend of events. This Friday and Saturday, May 16 and 17, New Mexico Arts brings the first-ever gathering of Matachines groups from the Southwest to the NHCC for two days of dances and panel discussions that are free and open to the public. Matachines dancers, known for their large masks with beads usually covering the eyes, will perform the story of El Monarca Montezuma and the triumph of good over evil. Matachines groups can be found in Mexico, as well as Northern New Mexico and border towns. This weekend's event marks the first time groups from all over the state will meet and perform at the same location. Dances take place every hour from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Plaza Mayor both days.

Video by Dress Code, 2015
Recognized for his fearless and powerful use of graphic design in the Black Panther party's struggle for civil rights and against racism, oppression, and social injustice.
When creating great work, any artist or designer can expect to face obstacles. For Emory Douglas, the obstacles were set in place by the U.S. Federal Government. As the revolutionary artist and minister of culture for the Black Panthers from 1967 to the early 1980s, Douglas and his fellow party members endured acts of sabotage by the FBI. According to a congressional report, those acts included spraying production equipment with synthetic fecal scents, ransacking offices, and destroying shipments of newspapers that featured Douglas' controversial graphics.
What did the government have to fear from Douglas' work? His ability to provoke. The visual messages Douglas helped to propagate through the Black Panther Party's media outlets unnerved many who had already been made anxious by the climate of unrest and revolution, and the perceived danger of his images is a testament to their potency.
"Artists have a way of instantly communicating essence," says Douglas. "Things are made clear, almost like a language, and so art is a powerful tool to communicate with the community."
Raised in a single-parent household by his legally blind mother, Douglas had an uneventful childhood, but his life veered in a different direction after moving to the Bay Area in 1951. After a series of run-ins with the law, he was incarcerated for 15 months at the Youth Training School in Ontario, California, where he worked in a print shop that made product labels for businesses. "It was my first experience with graphic production," says Douglas. "The guy who supervised it showed me how to design those labels myself."
Though he couldn't use the juvenile facility's machines for his own creative purposes, he did learn the basics of typography and layout. Years later, he enrolled at City College of San Francisco, where he gravitated towards the commercial art classes that taught him the skills he needed for large-scale print production. He began making flyers, programs, and pamphlets for student groups working to advance civil rights and self-determination for African-Americans.
"I was using very basic materials, like rub-off type and markers, and applying what I had learned. It felt good to be contributing," says Douglas. By the time he met Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale—founders of the newly formed Black Panther Party—during a 1967 meeting at Eldridge Cleaver's apartment. Douglas was keen to join, and the party wanted his vision and skills for its official newspaper.
The Black Panther was not the most sophisticated publication. Douglas had a limited set of tools at his disposal—two-color offset printing, with every graphic asset manually composed by rudimentary and often time-consuming means. Still, he was able to give the party's social and political agenda a coherent visual identity and continuity. At its peak, the paper drew the attention of hundreds of thousands of readers.
It's important to understand the nature and context of Douglas' work during that period in U.S. history—decades before it was exhibited on the pristine walls of cultural institutions such as the New Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. When The Black Panther was still in publication, young idealists were tearing out sheets and wheat-pasting them all over black neighborhoods. As street propaganda posters, Douglas' full-page images, paired with bold headlines or quotes communicated the party's message in the manner of advertisements put out by the very corporations he opposed. But instead of suggestive appeals to buy toothpaste or a new car, Douglas promoted calls to action in the communities where the paper was distributed:
Seize the time!
In revolution, one wins or one dies.
All power to the people.
And even if someone wasn't able to read the paper's message, they could grasp its intent and sense the energy in the bold lines of Douglas' illustrations. No doubt they were also struck by a visual vocabulary of protest they had never seen before.
If those in power saw Douglas as a dangerous usurper of the established order, Douglas' work showed that he was not only ready to accept that role, he seems to have been delighted in upending entrenched social and cultural archetypes. In place of depictions of African-Americans as subservient or as vilified criminal menaces, Douglas' posters and newspaper illustrations depicted courageous people unafraid to speak for themselves and strive—oftentimes armed—for just treatment. Oppressive politicians and institutions were hung in effigy or viciously berated in parody. With police brutality endemic in black neighborhoods, Douglas retaliated by depicting policemen as abusive "pigs"—a term he helped to popularize in the parlance of the counterculture.
This shift emboldened the black community. Their collective anger had finally found tangible, incisive expression. "They started seeing themselves as heroes," says Douglas. "Some even said they recognized family members in those images. The community could identify with the struggle because what they saw wasn't watered down. It didn't negate the suffering or the love. It was relevant to them."
Douglas' guerrilla graphics made it possible for many to consider defiance as an alternative to victimization. Through his images, localized activism became connected to the worldwide revolutionary tide that had risen. If everyone fought back, change was possible anywhere.
For Douglas, his work for the Black Panther Party was only the beginning of a lifelong devotion to making art for causes he supports. He kept up his attacks on racism, greed, and the prison system long after the party dissolved in the early '80s due to government persecution as well as its own internal conflicts. With renewed interest in the tumult that defined the latter half of the 20th century, a younger generation of political artists has now discovered Douglas' work, further evidence that the pulse it carried more than three decades ago still beats strongly today.
"The fact that there's so much surveillance happening shows that governments are still not responding to the needs of the people," says Douglas. And so the struggle continues. In 2011, Douglas drafted Views and Intentions: A Political Artist Manifesto. Within it, he prescribes 12 objectives for politically motivated artists to keep in mind as they work to instigate change in a world made even more complex by digital design, the internet, and new forms of authoritarian responses. His final piece of advice: Do not lose sight of what the goals are.

it was good ...however it could be better....at +$ 4.00
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I love it when I am wrong which I rarely am but today I as and like I always state, I could be wrong and hopefully I am. I will take a 3.93 close anyday. Only 75 cents to go to my break even point.

bump. hey earth, 75 cents to your break even point sounds like a loss to me. Unless you only count paper losses for others. I guess you weren't wrong for buying in too early either in your own mind.... since you blamed that on Elop and/or the usual wall street conspiracy shtick you spout.
Holy smokes. Here i thought you were just one of those happless souls that got trapped by Elops burning platform memo. Turns out you are just a dope with an inflated ego!
No matter, I look forward to you breaking even.
Should i point out that if you buy more here you can lower your break even point considerably?
I mean, it's obvious you are going to hold anyway. Why not profit 75 cents ffrom now instead of break even?
So you were talking $hit because you wanna get in? Damn, dude. What a low life you are.
Anybody can make a wrong entry but that is only apparent in hindsight.However nok has more going for it now than when you bought so man up and stop complaining,things looks very good now.
Back up to my previous 3d
entry point, I'm happy,
4.20 my 4th previous entry just
around the corner.. Best thing
is this gem is going alot higher.. :-)
That its above my 3d entry

The look good but no where does it say how many calories each cookie is. I think that is an important fact to state when stating a low-cal recipe.
It in fluffy is [mochimochi] if it says in Japanese. Bread? Soft cookie? Anyway, it was very delicious. It was also easy to eat as it was easy to make it. It ate it with my friend, and my friend said ''I want to eat again''. I mixed the caramel chip instead of the chocolate chip. And, the cocoa was mixed with a few cookie doughs. Both are also delicious. Thank you for a delicious recipe in the low calorie content.
AWESOME!!! Sitting here with a glass of milk and cookie in hand YUMM !! My batch made 30 perfect sized cookies and in 10 mins they were gone, every one loved them! I used splenda instead of sugar and kept every thing else the same ! Having tried other low cal cookies this is by far the best !A definite keeper !!! Thank you for posting this delicious recipe :) I will definitely be making these again most likely tonight !
