Nat at WorldStove just recently shared some exciting news about their work in Haiti to provide truly appropriate and sustainable cooking and heating technology.
A partnership of the WorldStove, LLC ("WS"), the International Lifeline Fund ("ILF") and a private Haitian enterprise called HSSA Energy and Biomass ("HSSA"), the Lifeline to Haiti Project ("LHP") seeks to help Haiti help itself through the current disaster and beyond by providing fuel-efficient, carbon negative stoves that will alleviate the food and clean water needs of thousands of Haitian families who were rendered homeless by the earthquake. At the same time, LHP will lay the groundwork for a long-term, self-sustaining initiative that will combat deforestation, poverty and diseases attributable to open fire cooking.The Problem: Throughout Haiti, 95% of the population relies on wood or wood derivatives (i.e., charcoal) for cooking. This cooking method has ravaged the environment, which has lost literally 98% of its forest cover, and has retarded the living standards of Haitian families, who typically spend 20% of their meager income on charcoal and/or hours of their time collecting wood. The indoor air pollution that is caused by open fire cooking is hazardous to health and explains why acute respiratory disease is among the leading causes of death for Haitian children.
In the aftermath of the earthquake, the fuel problem has become dire and is exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Owing to the disruption of supply lines to the capital, there is virtually no charcoal to be found and people have been looting furniture from collapsed buildings. The masses, who cannot afford wood or charcoal, have no means to cook their food or boil water.
The Short-Term Initiative: To address these urgent needs, LHP has set up a production center in Port au Prince that will produce approximately 2,000 "Lucia" emergency stoves for institutional and household use during its first month of operation alone. These super-efficient woodless stoves, which are the invention of WS, employ an innovative system of fluid dynamics and are fueled entirely with agricultural waste such as twigs, groundnut shells, rice husk and dung. At a cost that can be brought down to as little as about $6 per unit, the Lucia emergency stove will enable a woman to cook for a 5-person household using an average of just 300 grams (about a handful) of fuel per meal. Furthermore, as a result of the pryolytic cooking process it employs, the Lucia stove creates biochar – a substance that functions as a highly effective fertilizer and that can be sold on the market, thereby turning the stove into an income generator for each of its users.
All of the equipment and materials LHP needs to get off the ground have been acquired during the past week and are in the process of being shipped to Haiti (including the manufactured steel components of the stove, a plasma cutting table, sheet metal and 64 tons of pelletized fuel generously donated by Green Circle Bioenergy, Inc.). Our Haitian partner, HSSA, will provide a manufacturing/storage facility, logistical support (e.g., accommodation, food, transport, etc.) and human resources, who will be paid to help produce and assemble the stoves on site.
By the first week in February, LHP should be in position to implement phase one of the project – the distribution of institutional stoves to hospitals, schools, orphanages and the spontaneous camps that have emerged outside of Port au Prince. In coordination with other NGOs, ILF will take the lead in organizing the delivery of stoves to these institutions, training users to operate them, and monitoring the results. Following initial distribution to these priority targets, LHP will expand its efforts to include the provision of stoves to individual families, concentrating on those residing in the most hard-hit locations. During this stage, ILF will work closely with other NGOs on the ground in an effort to form reliable and efficient distribution chains.
The Long-Term Solution: By the time the situation in Haiti begins to stabilize, ILF and WS will have laid all of the groundwork and training necessary for HSSA to assume primary responsibility for the project and to become a "stove hub" – that is, a local, self-sustaining enterprise that will have the capacity to manufacture, distribute and sell the "commercial" Lucia stove for both household and institutional use in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. With the help of WS, it is anticipated that the project will ultimately become "carbon eligible." The carbon credits thus obtained will enable the stove literally to pay for itself, such that it can be made affordable even to the poorest of Haiti's poor.
In the end, LHP promises to create benefits for the Haitian population that exceed the investment in the project by orders of magnitude. By eliminating the need for wood as a fuel source and creating biochar, production and dissemination of the Lucia stove offers the potential to help prevent and, indeed, reverse the deforestation that has destroyed the Haitian countryside. For the individuals who are its end users, the Lucia stove will dramatically improve both their health and their livelihoods. And, finally, the manufacturing and distribution process will build local capacity – creating jobs and wealth for Haitians at the same time that they contribute to the rebuilding of their country, the restoration of their environment and the growth of their economy.

"This had the most perfect flavor! My family told me that I need to make this weekly!! I first made it about a month ago and forgot to review it then.

Mostly a par 3, but a few longer holes. Lots of water hazards, and there are a few holes that cross over the picnic area, so they may not be playable. Decent design and certainly a nice option for the area.

Selenium to Prevent Recurrence of Colorectal Polyps
Name of the Trial
Phase III Randomized Study of Selenium in Patients with Adenomatous Colorectal Polyps (UARIZ-00-0430-01). See the protocol summary.
Principal Investigator
Dr. M. Peter Lance, Arizona Cancer Center at University of Arizona Health Sciences Center.
Why This Trial Is Important
The mineral selenium, found naturally in grains, meat, and other common foods, is being studied to see if it can help prevent several types of cancer. Proteins in the body that incorporate selenium have antioxidant properties and help repair damaged cells, which may reduce the risk of cancer. Although studies of the relationship between selenium in foods and cancer risk have been inconclusive, some studies of selenium supplementation have yielded promising results. In particular, the Nutritional Prevention of Cancer Trial, designed to see if selenium supplements could prevent nonmelanoma skin cancer, found that selenium supplements were associated with reduced risks of colorectal and other cancers.
"That study was a major justification for doing a randomized controlled trial with a colorectal cancer-related endpoint," said Dr. Lance.
In this trial, patients who have a history of colorectal adenoma—noncancerous growths (polyps) found in the colon or rectum that can be precursors to colorectal cancer—will be randomly assigned to receive daily selenium supplements or a placebo for 3 or 5 years. At the end of the supplementation period, patients will have a colonoscopy to check for adenoma recurrence.
Whether patients in the study are treated for 3 or 5 years is at the discretion of the treating physician; some patients at higher risk of adenoma recurrence will undergo colonoscopy 3 years after adenoma removal, while lower risk patients will have their colonoscopy after 5 years.
The investigators plan to follow the patients for 5 years after the end of supplementation. In addition to seeing if patients taking selenium have a lower risk of adenoma recurrence and advanced adenomas (adenomas closer to becoming cancer), the trial will characterize any side effects observed with long-term, high-dose selenium supplementation.

On June 30, the Napolitano family was enjoying a summer Saturday at Disney World's Epcot Center, when the father, Dario Napolitano, started arguing with with his wife and children. Witnesses say they saw him turn his attention to his crying son, 3, who was sitting in a stroller, and kick the child in the face, the child's mother all the while screaming, "No, no, no…" According to the arrest report, a Disney employee "went up to the child and saw that his face was bloody and the child was crying hysterically." The child had a swollen left eye, with cut below it, and a bruise above the eyebrow.
Through an interpreter, Napolitano told a different story to police. He said it was the fault of the elder son, saying that "He [Napolitano] yelled at him [the older son] a second time to stop and he complied throwing [the younger son] out of the stroller on the ground. He went up to his son [the older son] and slapped him twice across the face because he hurt his brother."
Napolitano was arrested and freed on $2,000 bail. Florida's Department of Children and Families was called to investigate, but authorities do not know where Napolitano and his family are at this point. The family may already be headed back home to Italy, in which case Florida officials will have to work through Italy's consulate and embassy to follow up on the question of the child's welfare.
Napolitano, who is a doctor in Italy, checked his young son's injuries, and told police that the boy did not need medical attention. In fact, both parents refused to seek medical attention for the child, so Florida officials have little documentation to support any claims of abuse other than this one, which could be seen as an isolated incident. In this light, unfortunately, the likelihood of Italy's diplomatic corps taking an interest and following up on the case, is slight.

Trans Mountain pipeline targeted in new report from environmental groups
A new report highlights concerns an expanded Trans Mountain pipeline could increase the risk of a major oil spill and that taxpayers could end up paying for much of any potential cleanup.
The 12-page report, titled "Financial Liability for Kinder Morgan", was released today (January 24) by the Georgia Strait Alliance, the Living Oceans Society, West Coast Environmental Law, and the Wilderness Committee.
Energy company Kinder Morgan is proposing to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline, which carries oil from Alberta to a marine terminal in Burnaby. The latest version of the plan would see the pipeline's capacity nearly tripled to 890,000 barrels per day.
The environmental groups behind the new report express worry an expanded pipeline will increase the risk of a devastating spill by bringing more tanker traffic to local waters. They estimate the larger pipeline would require standard-sized tankers to make around 460 trips annually through Burrard Inlet to export the oil.
The report says mandatory insurance for ship owners and federally governed compensation funds could only cover up to $1.34 billion of the potential costs from a large spill. It suggests taxpayers could be left to pay any additional costs, which could amount to billions of dollars if there is a spill nearing the scale of the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster.
The report further claims the ability to recover costs through civil legal action would be ineffective because ship owners are often independent operating companies with few assets. It also notes no spill-response funds exist that provide compensation for non-market losses such as long-term ecosystem damage.
In an emailed statement to the Straight, a Kinder Morgan spokesperson said tankers have been operating in local waters for decades "without incident".
"Along with stringent regulations there are several layers of safety in-place to help safely transport these ships," said Michael Davies, Kinder Morgan Canada's director of marine development. "Tanker traffic in local waters is managed by local, experienced organizations and every tanker is double-hulled, escorted and tethered to tugs with two pilots on-board."
Davies also expressed confidence there are adequate measures in place to fund any spill response.
"The size of the ($1.3 billion) pool of funds available has been sized to ensure there are sufficient resources to deal with even improbable events," he said. "In the unlikely event that these funds were exceeded there are a range of government policy solutions that could be implemented to ensure the costs were recovered appropriately and the tax payer remains protected."
It would be the government which would bear the clean up, Iand I do not mean the Alberta Government who benefit much more than we on the coast. Who would compensate those whose jobs or businesses are affected? Certainly not Kinder Morgan or the oil companies. The Feds might be on the hook for SOME Of the cost but most of the economic cost would fall on BC. I am outraged at the assertions that this pipeline, and the attendant tanker traffic, should be forced on us all for the benefit for others.
man cannot admit he is addicted to oil.
oil is the drug. man can't get enough.
man needs this exchange.
Canada is the dealer.
It's time to deal so cut the deck
why do elements of life on earth have to die to support man's addiction to oil ?
man is proving to be the most unintelligent species on earth.
fucking tragic.
before you slam me for being a "hyprocrite" watch youself ...first. do you breathe air and drink water?
while you enjoy "living" here on earth keep in mind basic fundamentals required: air, water, fire, earth, all surrounds you in an environment that can grow food and provide shelter on earth, if earth is allowed time to recover from pollution and climate warming.
so you want to keep the status quo and continue to extract every last drop of oil from beneath the Earth's surface until there's nothing left? at what expense? what for? can you recover the catastrophic environmental losses to Earth? how many centeries will it take--if ever? what is your game plan when there's no more fresh water because you've wasted it on extracting your precious oil? what is your game plan for when there's no more fresh air? what's your game plan when there's no earth to grow fruit and vegetables?
don't complain about the affects of global warming, like flooding, or droughts, or severe cold or heat when you don't expect it or want it, and don't complain about the rain, or the wind, or the tornadoes, or hurricanes, or forest fires, or the lack of oxygen in the air, or the starvation, or diseases. please don't say anything at all because we''ve heard it all before. you're not saying anything new man. what's it going to take to change your mind to change your game plan man?
while man continues to exist as if he's the only life that matters man will reap what he sows.
man is responsible for protecting and sustaining all fundamental elements of life on earth contained in the air, water, sea and on land...if he wants to live on earth.

I am proud to stand up for the environment.your steering comment calling those against this pipeline eco fasists, Shows how little you know or care about how sustainable our earth is.
Personally, I am not opposed to all pipelines but until companies take safety seriously and put safety ahead of profits, I will oppose pipelines trucks, and trains to move the bitumen. In my mind, you can refine then ship, find a better route or leave it in the ground.

Today in Performance Sneaker History: Larry Bird Wins 3rd Straight MVP Award in the Converse Weapon
LeBron James has been honored with four of the last five NBA MVP awards, earning back-to-back honors on two occasions in 2009/2010 and 2012/2013. However, there's one Maurice Podoloff Trophy feat that has eluded LeBron, and that's winning it in three consecutive seasons. Only three legendary players been able to pull it off: Bull Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Larry Bird. It was May 28, 1986 when Bird was honored with his third and final MVP award.
During this time period, Larry Bird was wearing the just-released Converse Weapon. With reliable performance tech like EVA cushioning and a memorable ad campaign, the Weapon was one of the most successful signature sneakers of the era.

Library board of directors to draft new policy
By GAYLE WEBER
By GAYLE WEBER
The Hays Public Library Board of Directors is in the midst of drafting a specific policy that deals with what types of entities can use library spaces.
It's come to a head recently with the Big First Tea Party's request to use the library's gallery for a class to teach the U.S. Constitution.
David Dunn, president of the library's board of directors, said the library is trying to be neutral in its decision to deny the tea party organization's request.
"Even though they say what they were wanting to do was to teach the Constitution, it's done by a political party, and anytime a political party does something, they put their spin on it," Dunn said.
Dunn said the library doesn't want to open itself up to having to "provide the same for all," by allowing one political party to host an event there.
He said it would be the same for religious groups.
"It's not because they're religious. Everyone would then need to have their time in the gallery," Dunn said. "We try to maintain that neutrality."
Dunn said the board has supported library director Eric Norris' decision to not allow the Big First Tea Party to meet in the gallery, but work will continue on a policy.
"We've been going by precedents in the past," Dunn said. "We feel that we need to put it down as a policy."

I'm actually enjoying the conversation side of the forum and have a challenge for those who wish to take it.
When I enjoy a post, I freq. click on "My Page" of the author hoping to learn more about the person who captured my attention. And, you know, frequently, it's a bit of a disappointment, as it's often just bare bones stuff. Here's the challenge: How about jazzing up your "My Page"? You don't have to make it too revealing about confidential information, but what about a few of your favorite hosta pics, or your interests, your garden buddies, etc. We all know everyone here is creative. How about showing it on "My Page"?. I've worked on mine a bit if you need an example. Just go to 'member pages' and click on 'edit my personal info'. Are you up to the challenge? :-) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am - I probably won't get to it for a couple of days. I too check out the "my page" option all the time and am disappointed when there is nothing there and no way to email them. |
I'll get mine done, but hubby will have to help me put some pics on it. He's been busy outside so I might have to wait till a rainey day. |
Hi Marsha, good idea. I tweaked mine a little, but didn't add pics. Got to work on that one. Do we need to put the pics up in a photobucket account? |
Good idea, Marsha--"will do" but it will not be right away--I'm rather pre-occupied for awhile with a friend having had surgery! janice |
This is a great idea. I'll update my page as soon as I get a chance - sometime after next week. I can see spending more and more time on this forum learning about the "people" behind the plants. McT |
PIM, Yep, just upload your pics in photobucket and insert into your dialog message. It's the same as you would do to post a pic on the forum. Great everyone! I'll look forward to checking out all the "My Page"s as everyone gets to them. Should be lots of fun! |
I have gone in and updated my page... check it out! A couple of tips for those of you getting ready to update your page... Getting the spacing right was a little tricky... a little different compared to when posting a message here in the forum. When I did a "carriage return" or hit enter to get a space between pictures or sentences, they do not show up. So I had to use a series of periods like this ....... to get the spacing right. One more tip... the first time I attempted to update the page, I put all my changes in at one time and it took quite a while to do this. By the time I hit the link for saving the changes, it had timed me out and my changes were lost. So when I went to re-do it, I had to update the page in stages, meaning... I had to put in a few sentences and pictures, save the changes, then repeat the process until I was finished updating my page. If anyone out there has any suggestion for getting a "carriage return" on the "My Page" please let me know. Hope you all have fun updating your page!! Buff |
I checked yours out - it looks great! |
I would love to up date mine, BUT, I'm sorry , I don't know how to post pictures. I got Photo Bucket but can't make it work. Maybe I'm to old to learn new stuff like that. phil |
Hey Phil... sorry to hear you're having Photobucket issues, and you're not too old to learn something new! I'm assuming you have already got your Photobucket account set up. Once you have your account set up, you will need to upload your photos to Photobucket. If you already have the photos loaded into Photobucket, skip to step 8. Otherwise, here is the process, as I know it... (1) Once you are logged into Photobucket, click on "My Album" I hope this helps, and I don't make it more confusing for you. I'm sorry to say I don't know how much computer experience you have so I tried to keep it simple. Thanks, |
I often visit member's My Page to learn a little more. I have done a little updating to my page. Good suggestion. Buff, I was able to get spacing between the paragraphs by adding the html code for paragraph, (less than symbol and greater than symbol with p in between) or the html code for break (less than symbol, greater than symbol with a br in between). I would type the actual symbols, however the post will recognize it as html code and it will not show). If you pop up my page, then select View and Source, you will see the code I used. |
Yay, hostabuff! From one Buff to another, thank you!! Your tip with the html code was exactly what I was looking for... I have again updated my page so that the spacing is correct! Woohoo!! I guess my requirement for spacing between the pictures and sentences is my technical side coming out... Buff |
So far, buff24 and hostabuff have come through! They are BUFF! Big time! Two thumbs, WAY up!! Hey, your public is waiting! Joint the Buff Brigade! |
Done! I didn't add much to the text because I already had quite a bit there.. just a short update. But I did add photos. I'd like some feedback. Do they take too long to load? Are they too small? Too many? Opinions welcome :-) |

Joyce, Your page looks great and it loaded fast. I especially liked your "Peas come in" sign. Cowboy |

I have updated my page. Papou |
Thanks Cowboy! I checked yours out too and it looks great! Funny, until this thread, I'd never even realized that you could add photos to MyPage. |
Great idea Megaul......I've enjoyed checking the newly refurbished pages. I'll accept the challenge and update mypage as well........soon! Haven't been here in several days so I'm trying to catch up with all the posts. June |
My page is updated. WARNING - Please expect pictures!!! |
Great page, McTavish!! Buff |
Ohhh, McT...Wonderful page! Now THAT'S what I had in mind...a MY PAGE that really shows something about who you are. Thanks so much! It was a real treat to visit! |
Thank's, it was fun to do. |
mctavish, first let me say that your MyPage is fantastic! I love the way you did it and your garden's aren't half bad either :-) Well, actually, your garden is great too! Secondly, would you mind sharing how you did the MyPage? I thought you must have created one large image and then displayed it on your GW page. But I'm trying that and it just isn't working for me. I've tried posting my image on both photobucket and on imageevent and either way, I can either get it to display tiny on MyPage, or I can make it display large but all of my resolution disappears. Two things if you wouldn't mind sharing... how DID you do that? And what size image and what quality image did you use? Thanks so much. |
Wow. Everyone's pages are really coming along and showing some creativity. It is fun to read a page that reflects the personality of the owner. Mctavish, the view from your home is so beautiful. You must love sitting out on your deck...lovely. |
Thank you for the compliments. I do love working with photos and experimenting with collages, different backgrounds and different fonts. (It avoids having to do housework - don't tell our clean freak friends - Ha...you know I'm secretly envious!) What I did to make this page was make 6 separate pages. Each was saved and treated as if it were one picture in photobucket. I have a program where I can work with pictures - do you have one of those? If I'm just doing one regular picture, I open it in the program then save it back to my picture file selecting the size. I pick between 800 to 1000 for the width. The other measurements are on their own. With "My page", The 1st was the "house". I opened it in the program. I selected the background color I wanted (and kept it through all 6). I added the 2 pictures and put the text above it. It was at 1500 thingies. Page 2 was the pets, 1500. Page 3 the Begonias, 1500. Page 4 the daylilies, 1000. Page 5 roses, 2000. Page 6, the balcony, 2000. As you can see, I didn't really know what I was doing exactly as far as the size went. I suspect that 1000 would have done for each of them but I'm not sure? I was thinking - who knows's what I was thinking! Anyway, after they were saved in the picture file, they were already the correct size for Photobucket. I uploaded them in there all ready to copy onto what ever message you choose. Someone (I think Marsha?) told me about this a while ago. If you save your picture in the large size you can't seem to control what it will look like when it ends up on the forum. What I did then (have I lost you yet?) is go to the place where you'd be posting a message in response to "Re: My Page Challange" on the forum. I pasted all 6 pages from Photobucket and viewed them just like you would if you were going to submit them. They looked ok so I copied all the hyroglyphics (I KNOW this is spelled wrong), opened the place where I edit "My Page" and pasted it. It worked. I erased the part where it was a response to the "MY Page Challenge". I supose the first drawback would be if you don't have a program with the ability to work with pictures and add text. If you don't, I can tell you what mine is. The basic thing was free but I upgraded it by 25 dollars and have never been sorry. Hostabuff, I do really love where I live and am thankful for it every day. I love sitting out in all the different areas because they are all so unique. The courtyard is intimate, filled with hostas, cool, quiet and magic. The view side is open and dramatic. It's hot over there all summer and I love to soak up the heat and cool off in the pool. The pictures barely capture the awesome quality of it. |
mctavish, you explained what you did very well. I never thought to make multiple images and then display them so they looked like one image. Perfect! I do have programs that allow me to do image manipulation and to add text. I don't have time to set one up tonight (no housework but I have to pay a couple of bills, hit the shower, then head for bed so I can be up at 5:30 am and do it all over again ). But, I will give it a try within a few days and I think with your help it will come out right. Thanks again! |

OGJ correspondent
MELBOURNE, Dec. 7 -- India's Oil & Natural Gas Corp. (ONGC) awarded a $215 million contract to engineering firm Clough Ltd., Perth, to serve as lead contractor for development of G1-GS15 oil field off eastern India.
The Krishna-Godavari basin field, 28 km offshore in 135-500 m of water, is expected to produce 1 million tonnes of low-sulfur crude and 6 billion cu m of gas over 15 years.
ONGC plans to drill five production wells, which will be completed subsea in 429 m of water and monitored and controlled remotely. Production will move via dual subsea pipelines to processing facilities onshore.
Development of GS 15, a shallow-water field 5 km offshore, will be integrated with the deepwater project.
Gas from the project has been exempted from India's price controls.
Clough's contract covers design, procurement, and installation of the onshore gas plant, a shallow-water wellhead platform, and the subsea completions and pipelines and associated control system.

My dog is getting old. She is around 9 years of age and she is "fixed". I know this might be the wrong forum for this question but I want to know if anyone with pets can explain if menopause could be the cause of my poor girl's recent problem.
Her rear legs have gone near paralyzed and she is only slowly building up the muscle to stand again. The vet's assistant we believe hurt her on a visit quite a few weeks back. The Vet denied any responsibility blaming a degenerative disorder that a neurologist later disproved. Nobody can tell me why my baby has lost her legs. She is almost able to stand again, but she still drags over half the time. I worry that her hormones might be affecting her healing. You can see her page at the link below marked "Pinky's Page" where you can see pictures of our little baby and her poor legs. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pinky's Page
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think dogs get menopause as they can pretty much bear puppies till they pass on. I have no idea what the problem is, but I have a friend who had a cat that had the same problem, and she spent major $$ trying to figure out what the problem was.... they never found it. He eventually looked like a cartoon bull dog, huge front shoulders to compensate for the weaker legs. I am sorry... it's awful for your baby to be injured! I don't think suing would do anything, you have to be able to PROVE that the vet did it. |

Tom Petty: Highway Companion
"Ankle Deep" conjures up a pretty lively harmonic resemblance to Steve Goodman's "You Never Even Called Me By My Name", which, in the context of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' biting of "Dani Califonia", turns this sentence quickly into a fun game of Six Degrees of Tom Petty.

Here's one of my spider plants. I bought the original plant last winter. It had three plantlets. The stalk with plantlets was damaged on the way home, so I tried planting them even though they were on the small side. One didn't make it, but the other two did. I up-potted it at the time, and it hasn't put out any more babies. I moved in July, and then last month I finally got around to doing a real re-potting. I hacked apart the original plant into the four separate shoots, which meant removing a lot of roots. This is one of the four I split it into, photographed yesterday. The leaves hanging down took a beating during moving and re-potting and recovery, and the newer growth is standing up. I think the difference is mostly the new growth since the move, rather than since re-potting. I didn't re-pot the two plantlets, but they also have a contrast between upright newer growth and slightly-droopy older leaves. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Now a close-up of one of the leaves it had when it was given to me: long and narrow, and solid green. It's slightly curled, so it's not quite that narrow. But close. |
Thanks for sharing, dsws! Your epipremnum has beautiful variegation. You are right - more than just the color changed. The shape changed, too. Thanks |

Reference counting as memory management has a drawback in that it is difficult to detect circular references when determining dead objects. AngelScript allows the application to register types with special behaviours to support the garbage collection for detecting circular references. These behaviours make the class a bit more complex, but you should only have to register them for a few types, e.g. generic container classes.
The difference between the garbage collected and non-garbage collected types is in the addref and release behaviours, the class constructor, and the extra support behaviours.
The GC determines when objects should be destroyed by counting the references it can follow for each object. If the GC can see all references that points to an object, it knows that the object is part of a circular reference. If all the objects involved in that circular reference have no outside references it means that they should be destroyed.
The process of determining the dead objects uses the first for of the behaviours below, while the destruction of the objects is done by forcing the release of the object's references.
Whenever a garbage collected class is created, the garbage collector must be notified of it's existence. The easiest way of doing that is to have the factory behaviour, or the class constructor call the NotifyGarbageCollectorOfNewObject()
method on the engine when initializing the class.
You may want to consider caching the typeId, so that it doesn't have to be looked up through the relatively expensive call to GetTypeIdByDecl every time an object of this type is created.
Note, if you create objects of this type from the application side, you must also notify the garbage collector of its existence, so it's a good idea to make sure all code use the same way of creating objects of this type.
For garbage collected objects it is important to make sure the AddRef and Release behaviours clear the GC flag. Otherwise it is possible that the GC incorrectly determine that the object should be destroyed.

I'll never forget first laying eyes on Phil Harrison, though that has less to do with the immensely tall, follicle-deficient man himself, as with the game he was presenting at the time. It makes my Xbox-green blood boil to admit it, but LittleBigPlanet's GDC 2007 presentation is among my most cherished gaming memories. Soft toys wobbled and meandered across a 2D plane, piles of cushions imploded, and grown men collapsed in fits of girlish giggles.
OK, so the much-praised "unique" aesthetic had more than a whiff of Rare's Viva Piñata about it, but credit where credit's due. Xbox could do with some of that, I thought, a cuddly underbelly to balance out the sharp edges and explosions. And guess what - there's a strong possibility it'll happen. Phil Harrison is now corporate vice president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, charged with "growing the division's European business" through "strategic partnerships" and "bringing cultural relevant entertainment experiences to Microsoft platforms".
It would be bonkers to attribute LittleBigPlanet's existence entirely to Sony's former Worldwide Studios boss, of course, but there's no over-emphasising his role as shepherd, or what this bodes for Xbox. Harrison is intensely well-connected in Europe, having served on the boards of Infogrammes and Atari, and represents an unusual combination of hands-on and laissez-faire - willing to bury his brain in whatever project he's presented with, but equally willing to step back when teams need room to breathe. He'll oversee Lionhead Studios, Soho Productions and Rare among other talented Microsoft studios. Given the strong likelihood that all three are currently at work on Xbox 720 games, the results should be fascinating.
Analysts agree that Harrison's signing is a masterstroke. "I think the biggest impact of Phil Harrison will be increasing the European business," David Cole of DFC Intelligence told GamesIndustry International yesterday. "MS has been very strong in North America, not so strong in Europe. I think there is a huge opportunity for MS to expand its core Europe business and that is where Phil may have the strongest impact. That is a huge potential growth opportunity for the Xbox platform."
IDC Research Manager Lewis Ward added: "MS has a significantly smaller X360 installed base in WE than it does in NA and that Phil H may be able to help drive additional sales there partly through ramping up more 3rd party game and content/video partnerships.
"Secondly, MS is viewed as being somewhat tougher to work with in the developer community so bringing on a former Sony/SCEE exec may be read as a sign that IEB is seeking to soften some of its sharp edges."
Interestingly, Ward believes that Harrison's presence may hint not merely at Microsoft's future software launches, but also the make-up of the next Xbox. "I now suspect the next-gen Xbox will launch toward the end of 2013. The fact that Phil H was on the board of Gaikai is interesting since I think the next-gen Xbox will have a strong cloud focus and so his arrival may also be about laying the groundwork for next-gen connected console services in Europe."
More than one Xbox 720 rumour has pegged the console as an online-focused machine - last week, it was even suggested that the console would dump discs in favour of solid state storage and digital distribution. Does Harrison's arrival indicate that there's a grain of truth to these tall tales?
Whatever the consequences for the hardware, presumably well into development, Harrison's impact on Microsoft's games portfolio will be more significant. The start of a new console generation is an obvious time for seeding and growing exclusive IPs, and the manufacturer has teased that we'll hear more on that front at E3 and Gamescom this year. Hopefully, a Harrison keynote is in store, and hopefully, LittleBigPlanet's 2007 showing will look positively lifeless by comparison. What do you think?

On a startlingly hot summer day, François Teisserenc navigates a Fiat Punto down a one-lane dirt road, bumping over rocks as we pass row after row of perfectly trestled vines. "Here! Stop here!" he says, already opening the door and jumping out, 31 years old and exuberant in his earth-encrusted black T-shirt and hiking boots. He squints into the sun, standing proudly before what, at first, appears to be a uniform plot of rolling land, the end of each line of vines marked by a small rosebush. In the distance, the medieval spires of châteaux peek over the horizon. Just above these grapes rises a sign, a tiny barrel marked domaine de l'arjolle: zinfandel. "This," he says proudly, "is the only hectare of Zinfandel in all of France. My father lobbied Paris for six years to plant it."
François's father—Louis-Marie Teisserenc—is president of the wine syndicate Côtes de Thongue, a collection of some 60 vignerons (winegrowers and cave cooperatives) radiating in a dial around the skinny Thongue river, deep in the heart of France's Languedoc-Roussillon. The region, which stretches from the Black Mountains to the Mediterranean, represents some of the country's most productive grape-growing soils—that mythical French terroir. The Romans were the first to plant grapes here, but it was the Industrial Revolution that made this area boom. For generations, Languedoc produced huge quantities of wine for workers: bulk table wine, drunk by the pitcher in a country where, until the 1970's, the average person consumed some 100 liters of wine a year. But wine consumption—even in France—has dropped by half over the past three decades. And with inexpensive wines from South America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States flooding world markets, competition has changed.
Crisis is the word whispered by everyone here who is connected to wine, and pretty much everyone in the region has his or her hands in the industry. The French share of the global wine market has fallen by one-third in the last 20 years. But that number is misleading—the Grand Cru wines, the top Bordeaux and the Burgundies, are doing fine. It is the small growers and the family vineyards churning out basic table wines that are in trouble. In response, Côtes de Thongue winemakers are gambling that New World techniques that produce creative, easy-to-drink wines will reverse two decades of economic slide. Planting a California cépage, or wine variety, would once have been unheard-of in France— but then again, so would sending a son to New Zealand to learn about wines, and that's just what Louis-Marie did a few years ago. "Our only standard is diversity," the elder Teisserenc says, knowing that using a word like diversity is revolutionary in a country where continuity and tradition have long been valued over innovation.
Like many on this sunbaked strip of France, Bruno Granier, of La Font de l'Olivier, in Magalas, a medieval village a short drive (but a world away) from the Teisserenc optimism, makes two kinds of wines: bulk, low-grade wine, which he sells to wholesalers, and sophisticated, high-end wines, including a Grenache Blanc and several Carignans. Granier needs the bulk sales to shoulder his costs, but on this sweltering July day, his year-old harvest stands untouched and ominous, straining vats two stories high. Wholesalers, determined to compete with the lower-priced wines from the southern hemisphere, are shaving costs and, he says, depriving him of his livelihood. "They offered me 30 euros per hectoliter," says Granier, whose deep tan reflects months spent among the vines, "when even 35 euros would mean no profit." Ultimately, he can't compete with the lower production costs of winemakers in other countries.
It makes sense, then, that just beneath its bucolic calm Languedoc harbors a simmering antiglobalization sentiment. But here, instead of teens in anarchy masks, there are bombings at the Ministry of Agriculture, attacks on wine trucks bearing lower-cost wines from Spain and Italy, highway protests that shut down the main road between Montpellier and Béziers. Last year, off the nearby coast of Sète, a shadowy group called CRAV (Comité Régional d'Action Viticole, or Regional Union of Viticultural Action) attacked the storehouses of a wholesaler and tankers holding vats of Italian wine. "For 30 years we used this as a way to regulate the market," says Jose Roig, a craggy-faced grower who works with the massive cave cooperative L'Occitanne, as he sucks on his tenth cigarillo of the hour. Roig's face is as worn as his crowded, smoke-filled apartment—which contrasts markedly with the plantation-style estates of successful growers. "Hundred hectoliters [spilled] in Narbonne. Hundred hectoliters in Carcassonne. Hundred hectoliters in Béziers. And then the wholesalers would negotiate," Roig chuckles. "It once worked, but no longer." In this lush landscape, punctuated by circular medieval hamlets and centuries-old cathedrals, and subject to the rhythms of the harvest, growers face a choice: evolution or extinction.

I'm leaning towards going. It all depends on my job at the time though so we will see. I would love to meet up with people from here though. I think that'd be a ton of fun!
Money in my household is tight right now so I might be going to the Expo alone. I am only nineteen and a little scared about going all the way to Cali, staying in Disneyland, and being at the Expo by myself. So is any one else going alone? Or is any one else planning to go? I would like to meet up with some people who are going to the expo. I feel like if a group of people who are going solo could make up a group while we are there.
Let me know.
Here is my email adress if you want to contact me directly:

I'm leaning towards going. It all depends on my job at the time though so we will see. I would love to meet up with people from here though. I think that'd be a ton of fun!

I have a Disney book coming out in the first week of March. Stop by www.fromscreentotheme.com for more details!
I am going to the D23 confrence. I am going solo as well and would be intrested in meeting up with people. Just to introduce myself I am a 26 male from calgary alberta canada. I am a Castmember here at the disney store here in calgary
Just made my reservations! Going from the 9th to the 15th, can't wait!
Also headed to D23 solo. Aug 9th - 15th. Anyone want to meet up? Lou also said he is going to try and organize a meet during D23.
Looking at how the schedule of events is filling up, I don't know how there's gonna be any time for meets!
I got a five day parkhopper with my package, but I'm not seeing a lot of time to even go into the parks all that much.
What a horrible situation to be in - too much Disney stuff to do!
I am planning on going to the d23 expo and to will be flying solo. I was thinking, and just throwing it out there, since we are in some economic slide right now, if anyone would be interested in sharing a hotel room and splitting the cost down the middle? I am planning on arriving sometime late on the 9th and leaving on the 14th.
If anyone is interested please feel free to email me directly at ctlyons717 at yahoo.
I know how this sounds and completly understand if no one is interested but hopefully someone is!
I'm going down just for the weekend, getting there late Friday, and leaving late Sunday. I'm going solo, and would love to meet up with people! I'm misscourtney on Twitter - drop me a line!
Flying solo and looking to meet up with some folks to spend time at the expo and DL. Anyone looking to do the same? The more the merrier.

We've all heard the old adage: never judge a book by its cover. But judging it by its title? Hell yeah.
Can just those few words tell us whether a book is worth reading? Probably not. Can they make us wonder if the author was batshit insane? Definitely. Especially if it has a title like...
According to Amazon.com, 76% of the people who stumble upon "Pornogami" ultimately buy it. So who knows, maybe there's a marketing genius at work here. One that realizes there is a sexual fetish that requires a basic understanding of geometry and ultimately results in paper cuts in places you'll instantly regret.
"The Cookie Sutra?" you're probably saying, "Ha! I bet it's about two cookies fucking in various ways!"
And, you'd be right. So, say what you want about the title, but at least it's accurate.
It's hard to know what the point of this book itself is, unless these pictures are to serve as templates for the amateur bakers out there to create the most awkward conversations in Christmas history. "Look, Grandma! You bit off his little erection!"
Don't look at us like that. It wasn't our idea to call the book "Scouting For Boys" and to have a cover that portrays a boy, resting unaware on a rock, while we silently creep behind him.
This is actually the original Boy Scouts of America manual. Was there really no pedophilia back in the day? Were those such innocent times that you could get away with any boy love innuendo, no matter how blatant?
Apparently so.
No innuendo here, just a premise for a How-To book that seems almost criminally retarded. However the author is a Captain, as the cover so proudly notes, so we'll assume he's a wise man who's yet to sink a raft of Cuban refugees.
Our favorite part is the "Second Edition" note on the cover. Really, you needed to update a book whose only page should read "Move right or, if unable to, move left?" What could be less useful?
Ah, that would probably do it.
As a general rule of thumb, secrets are only interesting if they're useful, and we're really doubtful that your garter snake knows the identity of the Zodiac Killer, so it's safe to assume this is a pretty dull read.
An excerpt from this tome of knowledge gives us one such secret: "The most popular name for a pet python is Monty." We're more than curious how many of the 277 "snake secrets" Paulette had to run through before she pulled that one out of her ass.

pricing was ok
not enough coffee 1 pkg. I like 2 cups in the morning and I stayed 3 days I had to ask for some everyday
Location. Just close to Highway 59.
Manager is kind of dishonest. Not that clean as expected, and found someone's hairs on bed.
Clean, comfortable, good amenities, friendly staff and great location
We actually stayed 5 nights and the hotel is very clean, the staff did a great job- we didn't have any complaints at all. And Walmart is about 3 blocks away. Ate at Hinze's BBQ -excellent! Had a business dinner at K-Bob's Steakhouse- also excellent ! ¿¿
No complaints! Will stay again !
the room was clean , comfortable and quiet.The staff was friendly. The breakfast was cereal, waffles, oatmeal and fruit.
every thing was close by.
better breskfest
The ac was off at 10:00 p.m. arrival; required 2 hours to cool room.
It was in a good location
Didn't clean rooms, no pool, asked for a spare towels and they looked at you like your a thief. Just plain rude is the worst part.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Do you have piles of business cards near your desk or computer stand? So what are you doing with them? Waiting for a few spare moments to enter them into your database or hoping that a new sale or customer magically appears right before your eyes? Have you considered how much potential gold is within all of those hills of business cards?
First, why do you have those business cards? Correct answer is to stay true to first purpose of business: attract customers. Until you know who your potential customers are, you may be attracting a lot of duds also known as suspects.
Now that you have achieved the first purpose, what is your next action? That correct answer is to solidify that attraction.
Now how do you do that? Correct answer is to return to your marketing plan and follow that plan. Of course, if you do not have a marketing plan you may need to construct one and then you will probably need to develop a sales plan because you truly need both to mine all of the gold in those cards.
Since leads get cold at the speed of light, you need to touch these individuals at once. This means within the first 24 hours. And your touch should be memorable so that your intended prospect begins to separate you from your competitor or competitors.
With the marketplace being far more global, you can find resources that allow you to create customized note cards to postcards. Using these cards, you can quickly write a note, slap a stamp on it and get it in the mail within 24 hours. If you keep some in your card along with the necessary postage, you can literally mail them the same day that you met that new sales lead.
With the cards that you have and have not taken action, start calling them, sending them a quick email or dropping them a belated card.
Whatever you do start developing an attitude – habit of thought – for all newly acquired business cards. Make sure that follow up is one of your best sales skills and this begins when you accept that business card.

The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management intends to develop a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) to help resolve production estimate deficiencies a federal court found in its predecessor agency's original Chukchi Sea crude oil development plan, the US Department of Justice said in its first bimonthly report required under an order remanding the matter to a lower court.
The Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Jan. 22 that the US Minerals Management Service's estimate of 1 million bbl total of economic recoverable crude beneath the Chukchi Sea in a final EIS leading up to OCS Lease Sale 193 on Feb. 6, 2008, was arbitrary and capricious (OGJ Online, Feb. 3, 2014).
When BOEM began to take steps to correct deficiencies that the court's order cited, it became apparent that changes in production volume estimates would require certain changes and updates throughout the original EIS, DOJ's Environment and Natural Resources Division said in the report it filed May 23 in US District Court for Alaska.
It noted that while scoping is not required for an SEIS, and BOEM determined that none was required given the Ninth Circuit Court order's specificity, the US Department of the Interior agency plans to consult with other government agencies and hold public hearings during its preparation.
The remand report also outlined a timetable under which BOEM estimates that an updated oil spill risk analysis trajectory runs and calculation of conditional and combined probabilities for the Chukchi Sea would be completed by August.
Publication of a draft SEIS would occur in October, triggering a 45-day public comment period before a final SEIS's tentative publication in early February 2015 and a record of decision is issued in March, it indicated.
Alaska's two US senators said on May 23 that the report was an encouraging sign that DOI is working expeditiously to get Shell Gulf of Mexico Inc. back to work on Chukchi Sea leases it acquired in the 2008 sale.

The Halloween Paint Challenge!
The air is chilly at the Pyre Site, north of Katan. No sign of human life: only some faint smoke rising from a campfire that is burned out hours ago. Jeina left her outpost days ago. Hector cannot be found. The Pyre Site is now ruled by other powers. Fingernails scraping on the coffin lid and rattling sounds of tortured souls bound in chains.
The north of Katan seems taboo, because it's that time of the year again when the Undead venture from their narrow prisons and dig up to the world of the living to spread fear and terror. The few poor souls who go astray here are lost long before their hair begins to stand on end and they finally realize they have committed a fatal error by visiting this place of the damned. The night of terror is falling on Gaia, and you should prepare yourselves…
Dear players,
Are you ready to laugh in the face of evil and stand against the terrors of Halloween with your creative skills? Take part in our MS Paint challenge and win Taming Mirrors or even a Scroll of Rebirth!
This will start out fairly simply: Take a screenshot of your character and paint a spooky costume on your character or draw a zombie behind its back. But be aware – only the simplest program can be used. It's ugly? It's alright, it's Halloween!
For this whacky, spooky contest we're asking you to submit to this thread a picture made only using MS Paint (or the equivalent simple graphics program of your operating system of choice).
The event will last until 31/10/2013.
1st: 3 untradeable Taming Mirrors + 1 untradeable Scroll of Rebirth
2nd: 2 untradeable Taming Mirrors + 10 untradeable Stamina Savers
3rd: 1 untradeable Taming Mirror + 5 untradeable Stamina Savers
- Take a screenshot of your character and use MS Paint to "frighten it up".
- The image can be created only using MS Paint or equivalent software.
- All text must be hand-written.
- Images should be no larger than 1024x768.
- Any content which is vulgar or inappropriate will disqualify you, with the content being removed.
- You can get your friends in-game to help, but prizes will go to the one who submitted the picture.
- Upload your image to a free picture host of your choice (like http://imgur.com/, http://imageshack.us/ and so on).
- Reply to the Event thread with the link to your image to be included for judging. Don't forget to post your character name and the server you are playing on.
- You can add as many pictures as you like, but be advised that you can only win once.
- This event will run from now until 31st of October.
- After that simply sit back and wait for the judging to end!
- The winners will be picked by our CM team and then be announced in this thread.
Wishing you a spooky Halloween season - we hope you are already as excited as we are

World of Warcraft Arena Tournament 2010 registration open
This year's cash prizes, including prizes awarded at both the regional finals and world championship, amount to over $200,000. But even if you don't win the big prizes, there's still something out there for participants -- players who have participated in at least 50 rated tournament games on one character with the same team will be eligible for Murkimus, the gladiator murloc pet that players may remember from last year's tournament. Please note that as of patch 3.3.3, Murkimus is an account-wide pet that will apply to all WoW characters on your Battle.net account. Players who have a character in one of the top 1,000 teams and have participated in at least 100 rated tournament games during the last four weeks will also receive the Vanquisher title for their live characters level 71 and over.
While the news may be good for players that missed out on last year's games, some have expressed disappointment that there was no new pet and title for this year. Zarhym addressed this in a post on the Arena Tournament forums:
So for those of you looking for a new pet -- sorry, looks like that's not in the cards this year. But for players who missed out on the pet last year and players who would like a chance at the cash that Blizzard is paying out, you can sign up for the fun and games on Blizzard's website.

Book synopsis
What is the relationship between discourse analysis and its more recent companion disciplines such as sociology, political science and information and communication sciences, at their point of convergence between the symbolic and the social? How are relationships evolving between discourse analysis and disciplines like the literary studies, psychoanalysis and philosophy, which have been the constant companions of linguistics as these emerged and developed? What is the place and role of discourse analysis in Europe? These are some of the themes dealt with in this book. A team effort on the part of Centre d'Etude des Discours, Images, Texte, Ecrits, Communication (Céditec EA 3119), it aims not to present another view of the history and concepts of discourse analysis, but to encourage thinking and debate on interdisciplinary practices.
Contents: Simone Bonnafous/Malika Temmar: Introduction – Johannes Angermüller: Discourse analysis in Europe – Claire Oger: Discourse analysis and information and communication sciences: beyond corpora and methods – Claire Oger/Caroline Ollivier-Yaniv: Discourse analysis and comprehensive sociology. A critical look back at an interdisciplinary research practice – Alice Krieg-Planque: Multidisciplinary work on discourse. Examples of a «way of doing» discourse analysis – Pierre Fiala: Political discourse analysis: content analysis, lexical statistics, a semantic-enunciative approach – Juliette Rennes: Analysing a debate. The contributions of argumentation study to political science – Dominique Maingueneau: Discourse analysis and the study of literature – Marie-Anne Paveau: Discourse analysis and history. Meeting and forgetting – Dominique Ducard: The role of psychoanalysis – Malika Temmar: Discourse analysis and philosophy: intersecting perspectives.
About the author(s)/editor(s)
Simone Bonnafous is Professor of Media and Communications at the University of Paris-Est Créteil. In 1999, she created the research cluster Céditec, which she directed until 2008. After her doctoral dissertation on the 1979 convention of the Socialist Party in Metz, she worked extensively on the discourse about immigration and immigrants. Located at the crossroads of linguistics and political science, her best known book is Immigration surrounded by words (1991). More recent publications have focused on gender studies (such as the International Women's Day). Since 2006, she has held leading positions in higher education administration in France.
Malika Temmar is lecturer of linguistics and discourse analysis at the University of Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens. She has been member of Céditec since its foundation in 1999.
