This paper was excerpted from articles in Liberation Army Daily, June 13 and June 20, 1995. The authors work at the Academy of Military Science, Beijing.

While the military officials of all countries have not yet defined information warfare (IW) authoritatively, military experts in many countries have delimited its implications. While such definitions may be imperfect and even somewhat biased, they are certainly of great benefit to our understanding of the innate features of information warfare.

In Army magazine (1994), Lieutenant General Cerjan, former U.S. National Defense University President, notes, "Information warfare is a means of armed struggle aimed at seizing the decisive military superiority and focused on the control and use of information." General Sullivan, U.S. Army Chief of Staff, holds that "information is the most crucial combat effectiveness," with the essentials of "battlefield information warfare" being to "collect, process, and use enemy information, and to keep the enemy from acquiring and using our information." A U.S. combat theory analyst sums up the substance of information warfare in six points:

Information warfare is combat operations in a high-tech battlefield environment in which both sides use information-technology means, equipment, or systems in a rivalry over the power to obtain, control, and use information. Information warfare is a combat aimed at seizing the battlefield initiative; with digitized units as its essential combat force; the seizure, control, and use of information as its main substance; and all sorts of information weaponry [smart weapons] and systems as its major means. Information warfare is combat in the area of fire assault and operational command for information acquisition and anti-acquisition; for suppression [neutralization] and antineutralization; for deception and antideception; and for the destruction and antidestruction of information and information sources.

We hold that information warfare has both narrow and broad meanings. Information warfare in the narrow sense refers to the U.S. military's so-called "battlefield information warfare," the crux of which is "command and control warfare." It is defined as the comprehensive use, with intelligence support, of military deception, operational secrecy, psychological warfare, electronic warfare, and substantive destruction to assault the enemy's whole information system including personnel; and to disrupt the enemy's information flow, in order to impact, weaken, and destroy the enemy's command and control capability, while keeping one's own command and control capability from being affected by similar enemy actions.

The essential substance of information warfare in the narrow sense is made up of five major elements and two general areas. The five major elements are:

The two general areas are information protection (defense) and information attack (offense). Information defense means preventing the destruction of one's own information systems, ensuring that these systems can perform their normal functions. In future wars, key information and information systems will become "combat priorities," the key targets of enemy attack.

Information offense means attacking enemy information systems. Its aims are: destroying or jamming enemy information sources, to undermine or weaken enemy C&C capability, and cutting off the enemy's whole operational system. The key targets of information offense are the enemy's combat command, control and coordination, intelligence, and global information systems. A successful information offensive requires three prerequisites: 1) the capability to understand the enemy's information systems, and the establishment of a corresponding database system; 2) diverse and effective means of attack; and 3) the capability to make battle damage assessments [BDA] of attacked targets.

Information warfare in the broad sense refers to warfare dominated by information in which digitized units use information [smart] equipment. While warfare has always been tied to information, it is only when warfare is dominated by information that it becomes authentic information warfare. Information warfare in the broad sense has many manifestations, as follows:

Innate Features of Information Warfare

While information warfare in the true sense has not yet arrived in the battlefield arena, the repeated live-troop maneuvers and simulated drills of the armies of Western nations such as the United States, as well as the Gulf War, have enabled us to determine certain innate features of information warfare:

A Digitized Battlefield

A digitized battlefield is a composite network system covering the whole operational space. It is made up of a communications system, a command and control system, an intelligence transmission system, a computerized battlefield database, and user terminals, all of which can provide users with large amounts of operation-related information in real time or nearly real time. This network system's function is to use information technology to acquire, exchange, and use digitized information in real time, promptly meeting the information demand of commanders, combat personnel, and combat support personnel, so that they can clearly and accurately grasp all battlefield conditions needed to draw up and apply operational plans. This system can transmit information such as voice, graphics, text, and data, and can also provide users with a battlefield image portrayed by a common database and the supreme battlefield command knowledge-base (including substance such as one's own posture, the enemy's posture, combat readiness, logistics conditions, and operating environment).

This picture is dynamic, changing with the movements of both combatants and changes in terrain and weather. A digitized battlefield is a prerequisite for information warfare. The establishment of a digitized battlefield has many advantages. For instance, information sharing clarifies the position of the enemy and one's own units, sharply lowering accidental injuries; it enables battlefield commanders to amass key units at crucial sites at critical times; it can effectively coordinate short-distance, in-depth, and rear operations, providing intelligence support for all-out, in-depth, simultaneous offensive operations. As all come to know the battlefield conditions, subordinate commanders can bring their initiative into play, acting promptly at their own discretion in line with their superiors' intentions; it makes logistics support "very accurate," for such activities as material provision variety and quantity "accuracy," logistics support provision-time "accuracy," and wounded treatment "timely accuracy."

The establishment of a digitized battlefield is a sort of systems engineering. Many U.S. military specialists claim that this project is more challenging than the Manhattan Project. To carry out this project, the United States is taking many steps.

In line with Clinton's Presidential Order #29 issued in September 1994, the U.S. Defense Department has set up the National Security Policy Commission and the National Information System Security Commission. The former is charged with formulating military security policy and digitized battlefield establishment principles, while the latter is responsible for controlling the security and secrecy of classified and sensitive information on the military information superhighway and the digitized battlefield. The U.S. Army set up in January 1994 the Army Digitized Special Taskforce under the direct leadership of the Army's first deputy chief of staff. In June 1994, that taskforce was expanded into the Army Digitized Office, and charged with the design and establishment of the digitized army battlefield. In July 1994, the U.S. Navy set up the Theater of Operations Information Warfare Center; in January 1995, it established the Fleet Information Warfare Center. Their joint responsibilities are to study and design the technology and software needed for the digitized naval battlefield. The U.S. Air Force Information Warfare Center was set up in October 1993, and charged with establishing a digitized air battlefield.

To build a digitized land, sea, and air battlefield, the computer system structures, operating programs, program design languages, software applications, database languages, and communications rules of all information systems must be standardized and interchangeable throughout all branches of the military. Thus the U.S. military is now pursuing two information resource standardization plans: 1) the all-service command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence system standardization plan, which will set up a global military information database and a global joint network system, thus deploying throughout the world global information sharing for the U.S. military; and 2) the defense information control standardization plan, which is aimed at upgrading the interchangeable software technology of all Defense Department information systems, to eventually make information control and usage standardized and interchangeable.

To achieve battlefield digitization for all arms of the service, the U.S. military is now pursuing a diversified C&C digitized joint-network plan. For instance, the U.S. Army has seven plans:

An Informationized Military

The second major support for information warfare [IW] is an informationized military. While many developed Western nations are now considering the establishment of technology-intensive informationized armies, the United States is the only one that has drawn up and started to implement plans for an informationized military establishment.

An informationized army is a brand-new "information-based" military category, with its combat theory, system establishment, personnel quality, and weaponry being completely suited to IW needs. The U.S. informationized military establishment plans are in two stages, which are estimated to be completed by the mid-21st century.

In the first stage, the U.S. Army will first be digitized. While digitized units will be essentially the same in authorized strength and structure as units with ordinary equipment, they will be units with digitized communications technology; integrated command, control, communications, and intelligence; smart weaponry; and networking of all operating systems. The major signs that a unit is digitized will be that its main outfits will be equipped with digitized communications equipment, second-generation forward-looking radar, identification friend-and-foe [IFF] equipment, and the global positioning system [GPS]. Such equipment will include M1A2 tanks, M2A2 fire support vehicles, M2A3 fighting vehicles, Black Eagle command helicopters, Apache attack choppers, Kiowa Brave reconnaissance choppers, M109A6 Warrior self-propelled guns, and M106A2 mortars. The U.S. Army now has a digitized battalion and will have established a digitized army by 1999, with all Army units digitized by 2010.

To test the combat capability of digitized units, the U.S. Army has conducted repeated simulated tests and live-troop confrontation exercises between digitized task forces and nondigitized units. The simulated tests show that digitized technology can shorten the time of choppers going into action from 26 minutes to 18 minutes, while raising the hit rate of antitank missiles from 55 percent to 90 percent. The live-troop exercises show that using conventional communications means to send on-site reports to battalion headquarters takes 9 minutes, while digitized communications means takes only 5 minutes; that the repetition rate is 30 percent for (telegram) text sent by conventional means, but only 4 percent for that sent by digitized means; and that the completion rate of on-site reports is only 22 percent by phone, but as high as 98 percent by digitized means. Through repeated demonstrations the U.S. Army has reached the initial conclusion that "digitized units have enormous combat potential," with their combat effectiveness being "about three times that of ordinary units."

In the second stage, the U.S. Army will grow more informationized on that digitized foundation, as well as build the entire U.S. military, including the Navy and Air Force, into a fully informationized force. After 2010, the U.S. Army will probably be the first to draw up "IW theory," as well as act in line with that theory to reform its system establishment, carry out military training, and develop weaponry, to informationize its units. For two reasons this will probably take about three decades, with completion by 2040:

While IW has not yet occurred or at most has only started to show up, as it is an exceptional and new form of warfare with milestone significance, it will have an enormous impact on all aspects of the military arena.

The IW Impact on Combat Concepts

The IW proposition will have an impact on many aspects of combat concepts:

The IW Impact on Military Organizational Structure

Wars during the industrial age have had military structures determined by the "firepower casualty system" base, but wars in the information age will require an "information-based" troop organization. With a changed base, the military system establishment will also be bound to change significantly.

Alvin Toffler noted recently that in the information age, "as the winning of wars will rely on military quality, not quantity, the military will shrink in size." Therefore IW in a certain sense is "precision warfare," with objectives achievable without using large amounts of troops or arms.

The military makeup will change. To adapt to IW needs, changes in military makeup will experience the following trends: In the balance of army, naval and air force might, the ratio of army troops will decline, while that of naval and air force troops will grow; in support units, technical support will grow, while logistics support will decline; in the officer-to-men ration, there will be more officers and less men; in the officer makeup, there will be more technical officers and less commanding and ordinary staff officers. Also, there are likely to be new service arms such as a space force and computer soldiers.

The unit establishment will tend to be smaller, more integrated, and more multifunctional. While Western nations have not yet determined the IW unit establishment, they hold that these units will have the following features: "The best combination of men and machines," with quality personnel and high-tech arms both being as efficient as possible; flexible mobility suited to command, control, and information flow; light equipment that is easy to deploy; high combat effectiveness, fewer command levels, multifunctional commanders, and crack commanding organs.

There are two implications for smaller units. 1) Unit might at all levels will be smaller. For instance, U.S. Army divisions will be cut from 18,000 to 12,000 troops each, with British and French Army divisions likely to be reduced from 12,000 to under 10,000 troops each; 2) The status and role of units at all levels will be obviously higher. For instance, the U.S. military plans to raise the role of the army in campaign planning to the group army level, replacing the division with the brigade as the basic tactical operations unit equipped with all sorts of combat and support platoons. The Russian military is also planning to institute an "army brigade system." The factors in the appearance of such a situation include higher-quality officers and men, weaponry advances, and robot-equipped units.

Unit integration means that composite units will reach new heights, with a transition from composite service arms to composite armed forces. For instance, the U.S. military is considering the establishment of two units, one being a composite army-air force unit the "flying tank" or "air mechanized unit," and the other a land, sea and air "joint task force." This latter unit will be made up of an army brigade task force, an air force fighter squadron, a naval fleet unit, and a marine expedition platoon, suited to countering low-force conflicts and breakouts overseas.

Multifunctional units will mean that units at all levels will have to fulfill diverse combat missions in wars on all combat terms and all degrees of force, including "noncombat operations." Meanwhile, army, navy, and air force combat units are also likely to break the traditional service arm operating limits, and perform the combat operations of other service arms. For instance, land units will fight naval and air battles, with naval and air force units fighting land battles. Therefore, some Western military experts predict that as units diversify, unit establishment categories will decrease.

The IW Impact on Organizational Structure

Because of the "effects" of IW and military spending shortages, developed nations are adopting an equipment establishment policy of "more research and new technology, and less production and arms purchases." To implement this policy, they are taking three steps:

To be able to fight IW in the next century, developed nations such as the United States will place priority on the development of equipment such as the C4I system (command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence system), personal digitized equipment, and stealth weapons.

Declaration of affection

Superstar’s signature signals Bavarian intent

Franck Ribéry was the centre of attention during Sunday’s motorcade to the Marienplatz, as countless fans leapt forward to greet, embrace and hail their hero. The Frenchman cheerfully signed all the t-shirts, replica jerseys, caps and souvenirs thrust in his direction. The big news had been officially announced by in the morning, but when Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed it from the Town Hall balcony, the raprure knew no bounds.

“On Saturday, our friend Franck signed a new contract keeping him with us until 2015,” said Rummenigge, the France star on his arm. “Ribéry, Ribéry, Ribéry,” the thousands of fans chanted, interrupting the chairman time and again. Bayern were unable to bring the Champions league trophy back with them from Madrid, but the spectacular transfer tidings swept away the last vestiges of sadness for almost all the faithful.

Love and affection

Ribéry the took the microphone and addressed the crowd, opting to speak in German. “I’ve agreed to stay five more years,” he said in accented but perfectly comprehensible German. “It's been a tough season with my knee injury. But the team and the fans have supported me and that’s important for me mentally. I love all Bayern fans. Thank you very much!"

Ribéry, who arrived three years ago from Marseille for a then record €25m but missed the final in Madrid with suspension, has inked an extension to his contract and will play for Bayern until 30 June 2015. “The main reason I’m staying is the family nature of the club, and because of the fans who chant my name,” he said later on TV: “I’m delighted."

Fedora Infrastructure Network spans multiple continents. Datacenters are present in North America, UK and Germany. List of Datacenters goes as follows:

  1. phx2 - main Datacenter in Phoenix, AZ, USA
  2. rdu - North Carolina, USA

Network Topology

This section shows how our severs are interconnected or connected to the outside world.

Infrastructure Network Topology

Network Architecture

Following diagram shows overall network architecture. and are round robin DNS entries. They are populated based on geoip information. For example, for North America they get a pool of servers in North America. Each of those servers in DNS is a proxy server. It accepts connections using Apache. Apache uses HAProxy as a backend, and in turn some(but not all) services use varnish for caching. Requests are replied to from cache if varnish has it cached, otherwise it sends into a backend application server. Many of these are in the main datacenter in phx2 and some are at other sites. The application server processes the request and sends it back.

Proxy View

This shows whats going on in the proxies. Incoming DNS balanced user application requests hits Apache httpd in proxy server. Apache forwards request to HAProxy, which load balances requests over the app servers. Some of them reaches over VPN. An example of external source is which is a proxy pass to hosted at Duke. In some cases there is also varnish between HAProxy and the app servers to help cache information. Local requests use standard alias in the apache configs.

Application Layer

This is a generic view of how our applications work. Each application may have its own design, but the premise is the same. Incoming requests are load-balanced from proxy server and reaches to appropriate service box. All application servers in the clustered services area must be identical. If an exception is made it must get moved to solo services box. Most solo services will be one-offs or proof of concept(test) services. Most commonly our single point of failure lie in the data layer.

Pandemic? On getting an idea of the possibility of a chance of…

Schools in NY, Texas and California have closed.  Not all of them, of course.  But here  and there worries about spreading the flu are arising.

Here’s a pamphlet which gives a lot of useful details.   You might well not want to go out tomorrow and start getting face  masks, but getting some sort of start might not be a bad idea.  One’s urged not to forget the furry ones, and think how much easier life would be if you had three months of cat food in your cupboard.  (I’m supposing you actually have one or more cats; if not, disregard or apply to your own fur kids’ species.)

I don’t think it mentions chocolate, alcohol or mystery stories, all of which keep really very well.  They might be a good place to start.  Just think what a three months’ supply of pinot noir would look like.  (Not recommended,  however, for the furry ones.)

h/t to Obsidian Wings, which has some more useful links.

9 thoughts on “Pandemic? On getting an idea of the possibility of a chance of…

  1. i looked at this (, and it made me feel a touch better. it actually doesn’t sound as tho–at present–this flu is any worse than regular old flu. in other words, most people who get it will be just fine. i suppose one starts to wonder when hearing about 100 people dying in mexico. but then, something like 36,000 americans die annually of bog-standard seasonal flu. -on the other hand, WHO says that most people won’t have any immunity to H1N1, so that means that, tho most people who get it will be fine, many more people will get it than would get seasonal flu. hmm. i don’t think i’m going to start bottling my 60 gallons of water just yet…but a box of face masks might not be a bad purchase…

  2. Perhaps not that serious, but the EU health commissioner has taken a big swipe at airlines and the US and Mexico tourist industries. Don’t travel unless you have to!!

    And Hey! the UK has 12/14 cases (suspected at least) while our MUCH larger country has only 20. Unfair.

    I think Mexico, though, might be missed these days. We live what must be hundreds of miles from Mexico, but in Texas that is just about nothing. I wonder how much this will affect the Mexican workers who are very plentiful in Texas. I’m waiting for the Houston Chronicle to advise on whether one should ask one’s Mexican cleaner to wear a face-mask. Perhaps we’ll get the spanish sentence for “Have you seen any of your relatives recently?”

    I’m not entirely joking. Panic is known to create targets.

  3. we did notice, btw, that bbc’s tv news coverage last night was entirely centred around the US crisis. they’d mention now and again ‘oh, and also 80 mexican citizens have died’, but all they really talked about in depth is what’s happening in the US, and what the outbreak means for americans.

    i’m used to americans placing no value on the lives of mexicans, but it was weird coming from the bbc. (or the usbc, as we have now renamed it.)

  4. So today as I went to the pharmacy at a local ‘super’store to get the second round of ringworm meds for poor Terry, I overheard someone asking about the anti-viral meds that’re supposed to protect one. That’s all totally gone from the area, as are face masks and sterilizing lotions for one’s hands. Out of curiosity, I tried Amazon for face masks. All totally gone.

    The pharmacist said that all the anti-viral meds were being taken by the medical people, which sort of makes sense.

  5. but jj, clearly, given your location, you should be wearing a stars ‘n’ stripes bandanna around your face, rather than a surgical face mask, right?

    i don’t mean to be opportunistic about banging my food-ethics drum, but, i would like to point out that this outbreak is an excellent illustration of why cheap food isn’t a bargain. it’s almost certain this strain of flu festered and perfected itself in the cramped conditions of an industrial pig farm. the UN is sending teams out now to determine which one. it would please me greatly if this possible pandemic caused people to have a think about how the way they eat bears on the what sort of world they live in. (obviously it would please me more greatly if there were no possible pandemic at all. but barring that, a little rethink would be grand.)

  6. Hi elp – I think you’re right to draw attention to the food issues at the root of the ‘flu.

    On another note: i gather that face masks in fact have little effect – the virus spores are so small that they can pass though most of the masks. (Though it is useful to wear one if you have swine flu, as this can prevent larger droplets from being transmitted to others via sneezes and coughs)

    more here:,0,4722242.story

    One negative consequence of their use is that they allow moisture to gather near the mouth and nasal passages, which makes it a breeding ground for bacteria. So I wouldn’t worry if you can’t get hold of one, jj!

  7. Quite true, Stoat. But now, wiser, I know that particulate N95 respirators are genuine protection. They usually look a lot like face masks, if perhaps a little more imposing.

    If anyone reading this does have a compromised immune system (e.g. because of chemotherapy) and is worried about the flu or other infections, you might want to know that various such respirators are still available on, along with hand sterilizers.

  8. elp, what I long for is a respirator with a little armadillo icon on it. This does not seem to have struck any manufacturer as a big sell item, though.

Keynote: Phil Plait

The 2012 FID is pleased to announce our keynote address will be delivered by UVA Alumnus, Phil Plait.

Phil With Laptop

Astronomer & Author Phil Plait

You’ve heard the rumors, the conspiracy theories, the internet scuttlebutt: the Mayans predicted the end of the world will occur on December 21, 2012. Books have been written, documentaries aired, even a major motion picture was made based on this idea. But is it real?  In a word: nope. Astronomer and author Phil Plait will take you through the claims made by the doomsday-mongers and show why there’s nothing to fear. No mega solar flares, no galactic alignment, no giant asteroid impact… and, in fact, the Mayans didn’t even really predict the end of the world at all! Dr. Plait will use firm science and lots of humor to describe just why December 2012 will be pretty much like every other December on the calendar.

For as long as he can remember, Phil Plait has been in love with science: “When I was maybe four or five years old, my dad brought home a cheapo department store telescope. He aimed it at Saturn that night. One look, and that was it. I was hooked,” he says.

Death from the Skies

Death from the Skies discusses all the aspects of the Universe that threaten the Earth.

After earning his doctorate in astronomy at the University of Virginia, he worked as a NASA contractor at the Goddard Space Flight Center, working with the Hubble Space Telescope. Dr. Plait began a career in public outreach and education with the ‘Bad Astronomy’ website and blog, debunking bad
science and popular misconceptions. The book Bad Astronomy was released in 2002, followed in 2008 by Death From The Skies! Dr. Plait’s television show, Phil Plait’s Bad Universe premiered on the Discovery Channel in September 2010.

Dr. Plait has given dozens of talks about science and pseudoscience across the US and internationally. He uses images, audio, and video clips in an entertaining and informative multimedia presentation packed with humor and backed by solid science. He has spoken at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center, the Space Telescope Science Institute (home of Hubble), the Hayden Planetarium in NYC and many other world-class museums and planetaria, conferences, astronomy clubs, colleges & universities, and community groups.

Bad Universe

The Discovery Channel Series Bad Universe premiered in 2010.

“Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer, spoke to a group of 400 gifted and talented high school seniors at the summer Arkansas Governor’s School. He spoke about critical thinking from the view point of the sciences, specifically astronomy. His informal presentation style and his humor were appealing to our audience and he kept their attention for the full 90 minutes. Even the students who were not interested in science were engaged and entertained…. Our students rated Phil as one of the highest rated speakers of our program this summer. We definitely want him back next year!”
— Lyle Rupert, Director, Arkansas Governor’s School

Until September 23, 2013, Nvidia had not launched any documentation for its elements, for example developers could not create appropriate and efficient 100 % free and open-source program motorists for Nvidia’s products without making use of (clean room) reverse technology.
The unique features of Nvidia’s motorists has created unhappiness within free-software areas. Some A linux program systemunix and BSD clients requirement using only open-source motorists, and value Nvidia’s insistence on providing nothing more than a binary-only motorists as completely insufficient, provided that competitive companies(like Intel) provide service and also records for open up-resource developers, and that others (like AMD) release restricted documentation and offer some efficient development.
Because of the closed features of the motorists, Nvidia video cards cannot offer adequate features on some systems and architectures given that Nvidia only provides x86/x64 motorists produces.
Some clients claim that Nvidia’s A linux program systemunix motorists motivate artificial restrictions, like reducing the number of timepieces that can be used at the exact time, but the organization has not mentioned on these accusations.

What is NVIDIA GPU Reader?

NVIDIA GPU Viewers a web-based applet that identifies your GPU and finds the latest style car proprietor for your GPU. Top

How does the GPU audience work?

A small Java Applet is down-loadable originally you manage the program. This Java Applet only appear at and confirms your body program elements when you recommend it to do so from the website. This method information are then used to find the best car proprietor for your GPU. Top

We could not identify your GPU

Try Information Car owner Search. If you are not sure what GPU your body program contains, suggestions the issue, how do i determine my body program GPU.

We had an issue finding your GPU

Quite often we have realized the issue associates to failed or incorrect coffee set ups.

Note that if you are using IE on the internet internet browser, there are both 32bit and 64bit coffee set ups required, focused on on which bit level of the IE on the internet internet browser you are using.

The AUTO-DETECT has been analyzed with all important internet explorer on the Ms ms windows program, where IE has the potential to need either 32bit and or 64bit coffee to be set up.

Here are some preliminary suggestions that if followed have a high success amount.

Why are non-GPU appropriate specifications read?

In future versions of GPU Viewers, we wish to evaluate whether your body program will support a given action or program. Top

This is a great flat in a fantastic location.
The flat has a very large balcony, is very sunny, with large rooms, wooden floorboards, a nice bath tub, huge windows in the lounge and just has a really nice feel about it.
The flat is a very nice location. There is a great coffee shop down stairs, bus stop right outside, light rail a few minutes’ walk away and it is an easy walk to Norton St shops, Rozelle and Balmain shops. There are some lovely parks close by including Callan Park and the bay run.

You would be sharing with one other flatmate - a female (age 50), who works as a lawyer, likes listening to Luka Bloom and other good music and enjoys a good cryptic cross word. I enjoy cooking and eating healthily. I'm a non-smoker. I enjoy a glass of wine occasionally with dinner.

I would be looking for someone who is pleasant to be with, enjoys a good conversation and is respectful of those around them. As I like to go to bed fairly early I'm looking for someone who is fairly quiet - not really a party person anymore, (although on the odd occasion….) If you are a smoker, you would have to smoke outside.

Author Notes: This tart is made with fresh figs and a layer of the Fig and Grappa jam that I have posted. It's very quick to make if you have frozen home made or bought puff pastry. I make it when figs are at their best and I like them just fresh, with their full flavour. It goes very well with a honey or vanilla ice-cream.Maria Teresa Jorge

Serves 8

  • 12 ounces puff pastry dough
  • 1/2 cup Fig Jam with Grappa (see recipe I posted)
  • 30 fresh figs
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Roll out pastry on work surface to 13 " circle. Put in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden the dough. Place on top of the pastry circle a loose base of a tart pan 12 " in diameter and cut out a 12" circle with a very sharp knife (don't pull the dough, just cut through sharply). Keep the 1 " circle that is left outside and make one single cut.
  3. Brush the 12" circle border with water and place on top the 1" circle and cut off the remainder pastry (about 1" in length) and put the ends together, forming a raised border. Pierce the central part of the pastry all over with a fork. Bake until pastry is golden brown about 25 minutes.
  4. Cut the stems of the figs, peel them (or not, your choice) and slice them.
  5. Spread the Fig and Grappa jam on the base. Cover with the fig slices. Sprinkle the edges with the icing sugar and serve as is or with some honey or vanilla ice-cream.

Online business, is it hard to set up?

  1. Hi all...

    I've been thinking of doing an online business... setting up a website, selling probably some imported make-up stuff in my own country... I was wondering, has anybody got any experience on this? is it hard to set up? btw I've got Telecommunications Engineering as my background, so I should be ok on the technical side, but what about the business side? I'm a bit worried since I haven't got any knowledge on this, and just using my intuition on it.. Pls give me some advice on this...

    Thanks a lottttttt:heart::heart:

    Oh btw I might be doing it with a friend... but this friend also got no experience on setting up a business..
  2. You will need to set up a domain name etc. There are lots of information online on how to handle that, plus some have web design templates for you to get started. is one.

    I think the easy part is setting up the website, the hard part is generating income and disciplining yourself to work really hard at making sure the business runs smoothly. Good idea to really know who is near or has access to your revenue at all times. Seriously.

    Good luck to you!
  3. Hey Ztin2,

    I have had a couple of businesses running from online. I am actually developing a new website as we speak.

    Are you good with web design and promotions? Also take REALLY long considerations about your products. They WILL make you or break you. Even though they are popular items like make-up. If it's a few dollars more expensive and I can just run to the store to grab it, I won't buy it online.

    I agree with RainRowen - You website and shopping cart should be your biggest challenge. Everything after that is keeping really good records (come tax time) and making sure that you're not falling behind on products or listing things that are out of stock. Really do all that you can do keep organized because once things get a little messy, it could be VERY difficult to get back into the swing.

    If you have any questions feel free to PM :smile:
  4. Thx for ur replies... I really2 appreciate it.. even though I've got the technical background, I dun have experience on it, so I might need lots of help on it... I'm still thinking about it, and if my friend is not gonna do it, I might not dare to do it by myself... I'll might PM u for more details *sheishollywood*... Thank u so much for ur time =)

    Legacy Text

    Wayne C. Level 1

      My understanding of 'Legacy Text' is text that was created in Illustrator 10 or below and it should be of type 'kLegacyTextArt'.  Any attempt at updating a legacy text frame results in the message:

      "This text was created in a different version of Illustrator. Editing the text may cause some changes to your text layout. Basic formatting will not be affected. Do you want to continue?"

      or for text on a path:

      "This type on a path was created with a previous version of Illustrator. Click Update to update the character positioning using the new Type on a Path engine."

      Am I correct so far?

      We come across text frames like these from time to time and they occasioally cause us some problems when an artist doesn't notice them (if they have no reason to edit the text, they don't touch it). For example outlining causes the text to move slightly.

      However when I interrogate these via a plug-in, it reports its type as kTextFrameArt making it very difficult for us to detect and update the text frames in a controlled manner.  The "Legacy Text" submenu in the Type menu is also greyed out, yet attempting to edit the text results in the first warning message. I have a number of artworks that exhibit this behaviour.

      What I'm after doing is properly detecting these rogue text frames and highlighting them so that an artist can tackle each one in a controlled manner and adjusting for any movement. I'm aware of the LegacyTextConversionSuite but its functionality suggests that I need to have already identified a legacy text frame as kLegacyTextArt.

      Am I missing something here or do we have some very screwed up artworks?

      *Edit - CS5.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8, we haven't made the leap to Lion yet

        • 1. Re: Legacy Text
          A. Patterson Level 4

          I just checked, and we still look for, and automatically upgrade legacy text, so it must be possible to identify them

          It looks like we're checking for kLegacyTextArt, so that is the correct thing to check. Stupid question: when a document has legacy text in it, AI pops up a dialog asking if you want to update the text immediately ('Update') or leave it for later ('OK'). If you hit Update, there won't be any legacy text, naturally. You're sure that's not happening?

          Here's the code we execute to go looking layer-by-layer for legacy text:

          void GetLayerLegacyText(AILayerHandle layer, AIArtSet* resultSet)

            AIErr error = sArtSet->LayerArtSet(layer, *resultSet);

            // check error

            ai::int32 count = 0;

            error = sArtSet->CountArtSet(*resultSet, &count);

            // check error

            for (ai::int32 i = (count - 1); i >= 0; i--) {

              AIArtHandle art;

              error =  sArtSet->IndexArtSet(*resultSet, i, &art);

              // check error

              short type = 0;

              error = sArt->GetArtType(art, &type);

              // check error

              if (kLegacyTextArt != type) {

                sArtSet->RemoveArtFromArtSet(*resultSet, art);

          • 2. Re: Legacy Text
            Wayne C. Level 1

            I've been using a similar method to detect legacy text, I even used your exact code which returned no results. I'm absolutely sure that the message I'm receiving is not the usual "Do you want to update the legacy text [Update] - [Leave for Later]" message.

            Here's the message we're getting:

            Screen shot 2012-05-23 at 22.06.08.png

            It seems that the text frames in question aren't actually legacy text. However as the message suggests, they do contain text that was created in an earlier version of Illustrator. Perhaps it's been copied from artwork to artwork through various Illustrator versions. After closer inspection, the text exhibits some unusual behaviour.

            Here's an example showing the text sitting just below the baseline when its frame is selected and viewed in preview, however when viewing it in outline mode, the text appears to be sitting on the baseline.  Any attempt to either edit the text or move the text frame results in the text 'jumping' and sitting on the baseline correctly. The warning message only appears when I click inside it with the type tool, doing anything else results in what I can only assume is a reflow without any kind of warning.

            Text-Preview.jpg Text-Outline.jpg

            Not all text that shows the warning when edited exhibits these properties though, sometimes the warning appears but there's no visible reflow and everything's seems fine. However, even the smallest change in text position or layout could have a big impact on our business if it goes un-noticed.

            The only theory I have now is that it was caused by maybe a character or paragraph style that was applied in an older version of Illustrator, perhaps CS or CS2 and has been 'carried over'.  I've been fiddling with the SDK for most of the day in an attempt to detect this text without causing a reflow but with no success so far.

            Apologies for the lengthy message, just I have a number of people looking to me for a solution and I'm running out of ideas! I appreciate your input of course

            • 3. Re: Legacy Text
              A. Patterson Level 4

              The dialog I was talking about was at document open, not when you click on the legacy text. But the fact that you get that dialog suggests that they're...something. It sounds like they're not AI10 or earlier text, but something like CS1 or CS2 text. I'm not sure if there's a way to detect that.

              Can you post a file with some of the text in that state? I'll take a look, see if I can spot anything. Even a file with just one piece of said text would be enough. I'm curious, becuase I've never seen this message before.

              • 4. Re: Legacy Text
                Wayne C. Level 1

                http://ftp.sonoco-trident.com?u=Tridentext&p=uIay1f9&path=/From_Trident/ProblemText_250520 120922.zip

                Here's a link to an Illustrator file with a single text frame that shows the problem. There's a few things to be aware of when working with it:

                • Changing the swatch name silently 'fixes' the text
                • Moving the text frame even slightly with the arrow keys silently 'fixes' the text
                • Viewing the character style options and cancelling the dialog silently 'fixes' the text

                Tested in CS6 too with the same warning message and behaviour.

                I really appreciate you taking the time to take a look at this, I've sent similar issues to Adobe before but never received a response.

                • 5. Re: Legacy Text
                  Wayne C. Level 1

                  I think we've found the culprit here. We're using Extensis Universal Type Server/Client 3 to manage our fonts and without their auto-activation plug-in loaded, all of these problems go away.  It seems we have different versions of the same font (and sometimes multiple versions of the same font) on our server which appears to be confusing the hell out of Illustrator.  I've just been given another artwork giving the same warning dialogs when activating the text. Removing UTC's plug-in makes all these problems go away.

                  Apologies for wasting anyone's time. Looks like someone overlooked something in testing!

                  Thanks anyway chaps.

                  • 6. Re: Legacy Text
                    JWoo@OS Level 1

                    Just a heads up. I don't use extensis and am having the same exact issue.  Font and files I'd been using all year (priceless templates to my business) — suddenly as dead as if they were outlined. My thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/13897744

                    Still searching for answers, on deadline. Extremely concerned.

Subaru B9 Tribeca: Problems & Solutions

  • foxbat121foxbat121 Posts: 211
    Movie sound tracks are typically lower volume level compared to others becuase it has to make room for explosion sounds with wider dynamic ranges. I have to crank up volume almost 100% when listen to my classic music albums.

    Yes, I did noticed bass booming on MP3. I think it is probably intentional by design. I always wondered if my subwoofer is really connected. Now I know it's working. :)
  • ateixeiraateixeira Posts: 72,587
    See what the dealer can do, and keep in mind you can call 800-SUBARU3 for help from SoA if you ever need it.

  • I just got my Tribeca yeasterday and noticed that the PS fluid was a little low. I havnt had any issues like yours but then again I dont drive in the mountains. Is it possible that your PS fluid is just a but low and the steep grade that you might be driving on might have caused the pump top fail do to the low level of the fluid. Its worth a try to check it out. Good luck
  • thanks for the reply. but I realize that movie sound tracks are lower but not this lower... also DVD concerts are just as low. When I played the same DVDs in the Chrysler DVD player in a Pacifica the volume was actually the same as the CD Player and the dynamic range was better (sounded just like the MP3s play). Is there a volume for the output of the DVD player? not the volume control on the stereo up front but some second volume control ?

    well its into the dealers tonight anyway for the rattle in the front right dash area. sounds like a wiring harness is loose up front and over bumps is smacking the plastic somewhere loudly. So will have them check it out anyway...

    Exactly what I thought about the subwoofer not working until I played MP3s. the CDs should be just as strong in the BASE level. Its gotten to the point where I do not want to listen to my standard music CDs and only play the MP3s. :mad:

    This is DVD player dependent. I have no experience with in-car player. But most DVD players I own can allow you to select what kind of audio range you want.

    Let's know what your dealer find out. I think I had the same issue.
  • sdhjfsdhjf Posts: 6
    Since I've had my Tribeca only three days and it only has 300 miles, I was disappointed when my cruise control suddenly turned itself off, the check engine light came on and the traction control became disabled. The cruise control light continued to flash and the traction control could not be engaged.

    Subaru Roadside Assistance was no help other than to offer to tow the car to nearest dealer and call me a cab at my expense.

    They put me in touch with a dealer they thought was open but the first question was "did you buy the car here?".

    After discussing malfunction with the sales manager at my dealership, who thus far has been very helpful, it became apparent that Subaru dealers have no desire to take care of the customers who don't buy from them. He suggested I get the car back to them and that it was probably OK to drive.

    It appears we are not Subaru customers, we are customers of the dealer from which we bought the car. You would think a car company that has a limited number of dealerships would stress the importance of taking care of its customers no matter where they bought the car.
  • sdhjfsdhjf Posts: 6
    Did they fix it and what was the cause?
  • foxbat121foxbat121 Posts: 211
    I never had any problem to get my cars serviced in any of my local Subaru dealers in past 10 years. Dealers in fact love to have your car serviced there because warranty service is a big party of their income. I don't understand why that particular dealer won't like to service your car. It is like throw money out of door. You should file a complaint with SOA.
  • We have not been told the whole story.

    Your right, warranty & service work is what keeps most dealerships alive.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Posts: 72,587
    Did you save a receipt? I'd be calling 800-SUBARU3 and asking for reimbursement.

    The roadside assistance program is run by a 3rd party, so they won't pick up the tab. Give SoA a chance and they might not disappoint you.

  • sdhjfsdhjf Posts: 6
    I believe you all are right if the customer is paying the bill or if the Dealer is guaranteed reimbursement from Subaru of America. But if you take a disabled new car to a dealer far from your home, good luck getting a replacement vehicle for no charge while repairs are made if you did not buy the car there. My dealer has been excellent. Roadside assistance was far from adequate. I was lucky and able to reach the sales department of my hometown dealership.
  • foxbat121foxbat121 Posts: 211
    So you're complaining about not being able to get a free loaner. Not about the dealer not fixing the car for you. As outlined by your waranty, a loaner car is only available to you if the dealer can not fix the car the same day. Yes, we all love *free* loaner cars. But that actually comes from the premium you paid for the new car. Given the choice of $10k more on a new car or pay for my own loaner cars, I'd pick later in a heart beat. Note, dealers can give out free loaners at their own cost. None of my local dealers do that unless you're doing big services like 30k, 60k services etc.
  • my dealer just got in 3 subaru legacies for loaners on Monday. not sure but sounds like they were provided under some deal from Subaru corporate. they had to transfer the titles and such still.

    but also to position the B9 as a luxury vehicle they need to make the loaner a universal company coverage. Chrysler did that for the Pacifica to compete with the Lexus, Acura, ect. (but this has all been covered before in the B9 Thread earlier this year)....
  • At high speeds the steering automatically tightens up to give you better performance. could this be what the problem was?
  • Can anyone who owns a C9 tell me if you can enter an address or destination into the Nav while the car is moving? Also, I saw somewhere that you can add 100 'waypoints' or 'destinations' into the unit and save them for future access. Is this accurate? From other discussions I have read here, it looks like the units in the 7-pass model does not include/support voice commands! Can anyone confirm that? The car has to be in 'park' in order for the rear seat DVD to be displayed on the front Nav screen. Can this be 'overridden?' Finally, when watching a DVD from the back on the front screen, how clear is the picture? I didn't see any specs on the front screen resolution. Thanks to all who reply.
  • foxbat121foxbat121 Posts: 211
    While car is moving, you can only select from preset destinations or previous destinations. You can not type addresses while moving. There is no voice commands (speach recognition for input) in Nav unit. You're not suppose to watch DVD on front screen while driving. That's a safety issue.
  • umm there is "hypothetically" a way to override the dvd locked out when driving ...

    it actually is not linked to the drive transmission but to the Parking Brake. you need to fool the system into thinking your parking brake is engaged. Of course that is hypothetical
  • dealer said they heard the rattle but did not know what is causing it so they are basically wrapping in padded foam all the wiring harness ect in the front right dash area.

    Also they tested the other DVDs in the lot and they ALL have lower volumes on the DVD system. So I guess until others complain and Subaru sees the issue will they look at. They logged my issue. so if you think the DVD volume should be set to the same level as the stereo or CD player, file a complaint at the svc department please!
  • I do not have a DVD in my B9 but there is normally a difference in volume between different types of media and even between the same type of media.

    When the CD or DVD is recorded originally the volume setting of the recording equipment are set differently. Switch between radio stations and often the volume level changes.

    Television is a good example, your watching your favorite sit-com at a given volume.

    When the commercial comes on the volume goes dramatically. You did not change the volume but that recording was produced at a high volume level.

    So there may not be a problem.
  • Nope this is definitely a problem. the volume level required to hear the movie is about 30% higher then the other sources (Radio, CD, MP3). Also I had the DVD system in my Pacifica and that was perfect. the audio was superior in the DVD of that vehicle (5.1 surround sound) compared to the CDs or Radio.

    The repair shop agreed that it was not normal but (normal for B9s) they tried two other new B9s with DVD video and the same thing. its a design flaw in the entertainment system. they have the preamp gain set too low going from the DVD player into the Head Unit of the stereo. it is not balanced the same level of input as the other sources of audio.

    Again the only audio source I did not test yet is the Audio IN ports in the back seat area. You have to stop by your dealer next time and check one out on his lot... to know that they have some issue.

    the reason why it &*(&*(& me off... is that you turn up the volume to hear the movie and then say forget and switch to Radio or CD and it about blasts your ears out! because the volume is so loud. :mad:
  • :cry: they could not find it. took the dash apart, foam padded the water pump thinking it was under the hood... check the vent area. nothing!

    they definitely hear the problem and it is not on other Tribecas they have on the lot.... seems to appear more when colder weather.

    so they have escalated it to the subaru regional rep. I have to bring the car back when he decides what other things to look at :sick:

    I agree with the other responses as to the shifting and undercoating. Good luck on narrowing down the smell. As for the tires and their pressure, I maintain all my vehicles tire pressure with what the tire sidewall states usually 44 psi. The ride maybe slightly stiffer but is much safer and greater tread life. The auto makers want you to keep lower pressure due to a softer ride. If you ask the tire makers their answer is whatever the auto makers say (liability falls on the auto makers).
    If you keep your tires at the sidewall amount this will prevent the tire rolling under your rim and cause a catostraphic blow-out during hard cornering or an emergency avoidance maneuver, better gas mileage and longer tread life.
    Just so you know I am an instructor for high performance/defensive driving course with Federal Government.
  • I always thought the side wall pressure was the max safe pressure (regardless of how much weight you are carrying) not the recommended pressure.
  • tls8thtls8th Posts: 27
    Well it's kinda tricky on who what's the liability. The recommended tire pressure by auto companies is usually lower to make a nicer ride and maybe slightly better gas mileage, their not concerned with tread life that falls on the tire manufacturer.
    Advantages for auto makers with lower pressure:
    Softer ride
    slightly better gas mileage

    Advantages for tire manufacturers
    You like the ride and slightly better gas mileage and tire wears out quicker so you buy them more often.
    If you follow the auto rec's liability falls on them vice tire guys.
    But if you ask anyone that does high performance driving or in the case of an emergency avoidance situation you want the maximum tire pressure for better control and stability.
    As another note in the course I instruct if you have a non-speed rated tire it's the sidewall pressure plus 5 psi.
    This strengthens the sidewall of the tire.
    Only on the really inexpensive autos have I ever noticed a difference in the ride softness.
    With my tires at 44 psi on my B9 we took a trip on the interstate here's the facts:
    distance:133 miles
    avg. speed: 67 mph
    avg. mpg: 23.3 mpg
    occupants: 2 adults, 2 children
    method: mostly cruise control
    Terrain: flat
    traffic: light

    I appreciate the expert info, but I thought that slightly lower pressure(obviously not too low) gives a wider contact patch for better performance driving such as autocrossing.

    In the few times I've gone to the race track and chatting with friends who do this on a regular basis (who do have training), I have never heard driving with pressure all the way up to the max tire pressure.

    Can you point people to actual documentation that backs up these claims?

    Also on mileage, I thought the higher pressure will actually give better mileage rather than lower.

    Anyone else have comments on these claims?
  • tls8thtls8th Posts: 27
    You're correct in stating at race tracks and during autocross tires may not be at max. They base the pressures on several factors: air temp, track temp, expected tire temp increase, distance of race in time and length. And as with most race tracks the turns you make are gradual usually geometric turns. The turns you expect in autocross are more abrupt but are in no way close to an emergency lane change or accident avoidance situation. The larger footprint does help but that depends on if you have rear wheel, front wheel or all-wheel drive. When weight transfers in accelerating or braking this does increase the tires footprints respectively. But we don't have the luxury of knowing the things racers have like exact weather and road conditions so we prepare our vehicles the best we can.
    Not to mention they buy specific tires for racing and autocross, they also have specific tires based on weather.
    Good questions and feedback
    The courses I instruct are utilizing vehicles of everyday travel not scca vehicles, with nothing more than Goodyear Eagle tires.
    The instructor courses I attended are not available to general public therefore I'm not at liberty to state sources. Sorry
  • tls8thtls8th Posts: 27
    Also on gas mileage this is what auto makers want but as you see in my trip info I actually have been getting better mileage at the 44 psi, plus I'll get better tread life.

    You stated that the max pressure is desirable for emergency avoidance maneuvers. While the higher pressure stiffens the tire and will give you less roll, it also reduces the contact area so you have less friction between you and the road. I have spent a fair amount of time experimenting with tire pressure and you definitely lose grip with higher pressures. So you might actually be compromising control in emergency avoidance maneuvers. I would encourage you to rethink the high pressure, or at least research it, before driving your family around with such high pressures -- in an emergency situation, you're probably going to have less control.

  • aka1aka1 Posts: 110
    Lower tire pressure reduces gas mileage. Keeping your tire inflated to the maximum pressure indicated on the side wall will not reduce your contact area it will actually maximize it. If you over inflate your tire you will notice the CENTER of the tire wearing out more than the shoulders of the tire. If you under inflate your tire and drive on it you will notice bad MPG and have the shoulders of the tire wear out faster than the middle. You are more likely to have a BLOW OUT on under inflated tires due to heat build up and a sudden change in vector will cause the weakest point of the tire to be compromised. This weakest point is one were you notice a bulge on the side wall, can be a weak point were you hit a big pot hole or curb, and may or may not be visible, you may have internal tread separation.

    Funny Cars ie. drag racers, are the only types of racers that I know of that doesn't use maximum tire inflation, most other racers including INDY, Formula try keeping maximum inflation to keep tire temps. at a constant.

Weird foot issue
« on: July 08, 2012, 09:15:11 AM »
So here goes...a couple of weeks ago i got this little boil on the sole of my foot..no big deal.  Then it popped and now i have this awful scaly, dry and itchy patch the size of a nickel that wont go away.  Now another boil presented itself somewhere else...
Any thoughts to what it could be?  Fungal, bacterial?
Going to have it looked at next week...till then, im just trying to keep it clean and aired.

hi brenner,
sounds like could be just a simple boil if its the only one present.  Have you been checked for diabetes?  some folks with sugar issues show symptoms in there feet, but im guessing its just a simple bacterial thingy,

Boils are bacterial infections.

You should really get that checked out by a doctor. You may need a course of antibiotics and also a stronger prescription antibacterial body wash. In the meantime, get some OTC antibacterial hand wash and use it all over.

Years ago (long before hiv) I had a problem with boils for a while and it took what I describe above to get it under control. We all have bacteria on our bodies, but sometimes they can get out of control even when we're bathing regularly and practicing good hygiene. A bacteria known as Staph can get out of control quite easily (for example).

Some strains of Staph have developed resistance to antibiotics, so make sure you see a doctor about this. Good luck!

Totally agree with the other posts.  I have had major foot problems, mainly lipoatrophy, and some fungal issues.  Hook up with a good foot doctor before things get too far out of hand.  I'm glad you are pro-active and asking for advice.

Good luck,

NJ senator sponsors bill to tax alternate fuel vehicles at twice the rate of ICE vehicles

NJ senator sponsors bill to tax alternate fuel vehicles at twice the rate of ICE vehicles

You've got to love it when they throw equity and fairness right out the window. Remember this guy when you go to the polls New Jerseyites.

FLsportscarenth... | 27. April 2013

Reminds me of the Washington State EV surcharge... Wrong on so many levels...

It makes you think that guys like this are intentionally out to sabotage their state (or our nation on the federal level). Someone ought to be checking if this Senator is receiving contributions from oil companies or traditional car dealers.

Instead of the 'Tax the Rich' bumper sticker, Tesla and other EV drivers could sport 'Tax the Polluters' bumper stickers... What is wrong with with making money legally? - nothing in my book... What is wrong with making pollution by burning petrol when it can be avoided? Everything - and government should discourage it by taxing it.

So you do not beat up on working class people who can not afford a EV yet, you put a pollution tax on new ICE car purchases, the proceeds of which subsidize incentives for EV (no sales tax, point of purchase rebate and off set loss of fuel tax).

Let the polluter pay, new car buyers have a real choice now, if they can not afford a Tesla they can buy a Volt or C-Max. Choosing to pollute should come with a cost. If you are going to tax drivers, tax new ICE car buyers who choose to pollute!

jat | 27. April 2013

I think it is perfectly fine -- if NJ would like to inhale exhaust fumes and make itself even more of an undesirable place to live, let them.

Robert22 | 27. April 2013

It's easier to understand why a senator does something so at odds with rational thought when you accept that the whole system is corrupt and rotten to the core.

FLsportscarenth... | 27. April 2013

Sad though because NJ is one of the states that does not charge sales tax on EVs...

They seemed to be going a different direction then the other backward Northeastern States that always get it wrong - taxing 'good' activity like clean tech and high income job producers and subsidizing outdated noncompetitive industries and encouraging people to stay on the dole...

Gov Christie could get some good press by denouncing the bill and going on record as pro-EV...

Robert22 | 27. April 2013

I'm sure it's only a matter of time until this nonsense reaches us here in MA. It's an easy revenue grab with no significant opposition other than a few passive Prius drivers and rabid Teslites.

DTsea | 27. April 2013

we dont pay gaas tax and in wa we dont pay sales tax. thats plenty. i dont mind a road charge.

GeirT | 27. April 2013

Democratic Sen. James Whelan of Atlantic City, N.J : IDIOT!

FLsportscarenth... | 27. April 2013

I do! EV buyers are taking a risk and investing their hard earned money in a new technology that is in the vital interest of us all and deserve ample rewards in terms of incentives and operational savings not any kind of surcharge or tax.

rdalcanto | 28. April 2013

Interesting topic. When it comes to supporting the infrastructure, cars with better fuel economy already pay less taxes than a gas guzzler, even though the same number of miles are driven. It sounds like as electric vehicle become more common, they should eliminate the gas tax all together, and just have a tax based on mileage. So the more you drive and wear out the roads, the more you pay, regardless of the vehicle.

Mel. | 28. April 2013

This Democrat, Sen. Whelan, might consider a tax on walking, that wearing out the sidewalks. Do not forget breathing, with all that carbon dioxide.

jat | 28. April 2013

@rdalcanto - exactly. Trucks already pay road-use taxes based on miles, so it wouldn't be problem to do the same for cars. When you register your car, you self-report the odometer reading. Subtract last years, multiply by the tax per mile, pay it. If you sell your car before the next registration, the new owner will pay the whole year, and you can negotiate that in the price. Make the penalty enough for false reporting, and people won't try and cheat.

There, problem solved, fair to everyone - the state doesn't lose money as vehicles become more efficient, they don't have to invent new ways to tax alternate fuel vehicles, and buyers don't get disincentivized to seek efficiency.

jbunn | 28. April 2013

The state of Washington DID pass a yearly tab tax on electrics of 100 dollars to go to roads. Also should note that Washington has one of the highest per gal gas taxes for roads. 40 some cents per gal, as I recall. I figured with my ice, I was paying at least 10 times that. And no sales tax on electrics. So the tab tax is not entirley unreasonable imho.

Im going to check this other legislation out...

Robert22 | 28. April 2013

No need to even self-report the odometer reading. Most states require annual inspections where this information is recorded along with vehicle emissions, etc. Auto insurance companies use this data all the time to grant people low mileage discounts. They certainly don't trust them to self-report anymore.

Rdalcanto- +1, can you fix healthcare next? ;)

jat | 28. April 2013

@Robert22 - except EVs are exempt from emissions checks, so that doesn't help. Other sources don't correspond with when you renew your tag, so it doesn't help for getting a consistent annual usage fee.

My insurance company has never asked for any proof, only current odometer readings. Even if you tried to cheat, eventually it will get caught up.

Robert22 | 28. April 2013

Not in my state (MA). They hook me up to the computer just like everyone else. I've got a nice $29.00 bill to prove it. I just renewed my car insurance last month. Apparently all the majors are working out a system to share and document odometer mileage. Expected rollout: less than two years. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Robert22 | 28. April 2013

Also, EV's will not be exempt from annual inspections in most states. Emissions/ inspection, call it what you like.

DouglasR | 28. April 2013

EVs are exempt from emissions inspections in Washington state, and there are no other mandatory inspections.

carlk | 28. April 2013

There is only smog check and no other inspections in CA. Needless to say MS is exempt.

I agree with rdalcanto mileage fee (it's a fee not tax) for all cars is a reasonable proposition. There should still be gasoline tax to compensate for the pollutants and GH gasses it generates though.

ian | 28. April 2013

No EV for me yet but I'm totally in agreement we need to remove the gas tax across the board and go to a mileage based system. Maybe even a tiered system based on vehicle weight is appropriate too. Oh yeah, drivers who choose to use studded tires should pay triple for the miles they use the studs. I know that last sentence won't be popular with folks in the northern states but the current crop of stud-less winter tires are quite good.

Seattle | 28. April 2013

I'm in WA state and for next year I don't really mind paying the $100, because they already gave me no sales tax, that's more than $7k.

We should probably have a split system, gas taxes plus a smaller pay per mile and weight. The state needs the money, and I like having a road to drive on.

I'm always suspicious about the fact that we have had classes of diesel usage that don't pay gas taxes for some reason (maybe farm equipment?), and how much of that ends up being used for normal vehicles.

Yes, driving an EV helps the environment so its better than gas cars to some extent (no oil spills on the road) but we still need a bridge and road to drive on.

I think we also need taxes based on the value of a vehicle in Washington state, so the richer folks who drive teslas and other 70k+ cars can pay a little more than the person driving a much less expensive car. Make it slightly less if you drive an ev maybe, but still, the state is starved for revenue.

Thomas Jefferson Papers

From Thomas Jefferson to Stephen B. Balch, 18 December 1800

To Stephen B. Balch

Washington Dec. 18. 1800

I took a little time the other day to consider of the application of mr Cathcart, his proposition being new, himself an entire stranger, & no paper communicated which could explain the intentions of the respectable authority under which he stated himself as acting. your presence however, as well as his statement, satisfies me on these points. but having omitted to ask his lodgings, & unable to learn [them], I ask permission to make you the channel of my contribution. I therefore inclose an order which will be paid you on sight, and which you will be so good as to apply to the object explained to me. I have the honor to be with great personal respect & esteem Sir

Your most obedt.

PrC (MHi); faint; signature omitted in letterpressing; at foot of text in ink: “The revd mr Balch”; endorsed by TJ in ink on verso. Enclosure: Order to John Barnes, this day, for payment of $50 to Balch or his designee “for value recieved” (PrC in same, letterpressed to same sheet as enclosing letter; at foot of text: “Mr. John Barnes No. 16. High street. Georgetown”).

Stephen Bloomer Balch (1747–1833) grew up in Maryland and North Carolina before attending the College of New Jersey in Princeton, from which he received a diploma in 1774. Licensed as a Presbyterian preacher in 1779, the next year he founded the first church of that denomination in Georgetown, Maryland, serving as its minister until his death. He was also involved in education and philanthropy. In October 1802 TJ asked Barnes to pay the clergyman $75 “in charity.” Although TJ recorded no other details in his financial memoranda, apparently that payment was for a subscription to enlarge Balch’s church, where non-Presbyterians were made welcome and officers of government sometimes attended services. The letter above is the only correspondence with Balch recorded in SJL (Harrison, Princetonians, 1769–1775 description begins Richard A. Harrison, Princetonians—1769–1775—A Biographical Dictionary, Princeton, 1980 description ends , 359–62; Richard P.

Thomas Jefferson Papers

From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 8 April 1803

To George Jefferson

Washington Apr. 8. 1803.

Dear Sir

I inclose you a list of my Bedford crop of tobo. made the last year, partly brought down to Richmond, & partly soon to be there under your care. I have lately understood tobacco is looking up. I will thank you for information what can be got; and if 7. Doll. can be got, you may sell it immediately. the money will be wanting July 12. as on that day I have to pay at your counting house a note of 1300. D. to Craven Peyton on order.   I wrote to you to stop £16–8–9 of the orders formerly given on you in favor of Moran, if not already drawn out of your hands. if it is, I shall lose it.

I must ask the favor of you to buy me 150. fine hams. if mr Macon’s are to be had, they have been found excellent. they are to be forwarded here.   I just learn that the two hogsheads of wine are sent off from Baltimore for Richmond. be pleased to send them up by the boats in which David Higginbotham is concerned. I believe they are conducted by Johnson Roe. I have agreed with Higginbotham to carry up every thing for me, as he undertakes to be responsible for the fidelity of his boatmen, and carries cheaper than the others. I have reserved a right to send by others any particular matter very pressing when he has no boats down. accept my affectionate salutations.

Th: Jefferson

PrC (MHi); at foot of text: “Mr. George Jefferson”; endorsed by TJ in ink on verso. Recorded in SJL with notation “tobo. wine. Higginb’s boat.” Enclosure not found, but see below.

Excluding the amount of the crop deducted by his overseer Burgess Griffin, TJ recorded the production of 45,139 pounds of tobacco at Poplar Forest in 1802 (MB description begins James A. Bear, Jr., and Lucia C. Stanton, eds., Jefferson’s Memorandum Books: Accounts, with Legal Records and Miscellany, 1767–1826, Princeton, 1997, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Second Series description ends , 2:1095).

Most titles exhibited in the county “are very incomplete.” “It is not believed, that any of the citizens claiming under Spanish sales, had obtained patents previous to October 1795, but remained in possession of their lands, by virtue of an Order of survey from the governor general, which is commonly called a Grant.” Referred to this “species of title” in his letter of 5 Nov. Observes it was not until after the Spanish conquered Florida that they introduced the custom of issuing patents. Previously, “a warrant of survey and possession was the only mode of Spanish conveyance, and subsequent to the period alluded to, this kind of title after three years occupancy was esteemed valid.” Abstract no. 1 shows the amount of land claimed under British and Spanish grants. Abstract no. 2 shows the amount of land claimed under British and French patents. Abstract no. 3 shows the amount of land claimed under occupancy by those who were actual settlers in the ceded territory in October 1795. Also in the county are 108 heads of families who have settled and made “considerable improvements” on vacant land since 1795. Trusts that a right of preemption will be given to them and believes “it would be good policy to sell the land low to actual settlers,” which “will be the only means of preventing a considerable emigration to Louisiana, from this most remote and vulnerable part” of the U.S. Encloses a letter [not found] from Richard Lee, Washington County clerk, which accompanied the return of claims. Adds in a postscript that the original papers for the claims are filed in his office, it being judged unnecessary to forward them. They will be sent if needed.

George Washington Papers

From George Washington to David Humphreys, 22 November 1780

22 November 1780

You are immediately to proceed to West Point and communicate the business committed to you, in confidence to Majr Genl Heath, and to no other person whatsoever—from thence you will repair to the Detachmt at the White Plains, on friday next, taking Measures to prevent their leaving that place, before you get to them. and in the course of the succeeding Night you may inform the Commanding Officer, of the Enterprize in Contemplation against the Enemy’s Posts on York Island.

As the Troops are constantly to lye on their Arms, no previous notice should be given, but they may be put in Motion precisely at 4 oClock, and commence a slow and regular march towards Kings Bridge, until they shall discover or be informed of the concerted signal’s being made, when the march must be pressed with the greatest rapidity—Parties of Horse should be sent forward to keep a look out for the signals.

Although the main Body ought to be kept Compact—Patroles of Horse and light-Parties might be sent towards East and West Chester—And upon the signals being discovered, Sheldons Regt and the Connecticut State Troops (which may also be put in Motion as soon as the Orders can be communicated after 4 oClock) should be pushed forward to intercept any of the Enemy, who may attempt to gain Frog’s Neck, and to Cut off the Refugee Corps at Morrissania. A few Men with some address may spread such an Alarm as to prevent an attempt of the Enemy to retreat to Frog’s Neck, from an apprehension of surrounding Parties.

You will communicate these instructions to the Commanding Officer of the Detachmt, who upon his approach to King’s Bridge, will receive Orders from me as early as possible.

Should the signals not be discovered, the Troops will halt at least 6 Miles from the Bridge, untill further intelligence can be obtained.

The absolute necessity of the most perfect secrecy is the occasion of Communicating my Orders thro this channel. Given at Head Quarters Passaic Falls this 22d day of Novr 1780.
