Parent charged with DWI in Moriah
A Vermont man was recently arrested by the Essex County Sheriff's Department for allegedly driving while intoxicated with a child in the car Sept. 9.
David Desmet, 44, of Charlotte, Vt., was arrested for a violation of Leandra's Law, a felony, for having a blood-alcohol content of 0.08 and a passenger under the age of 15 in the vehicle, according to police.
Police said he had a 10-year-old child in the car while driving through Moriah.
He was also cited for reportedly driving while intoxicated.
Desmet was arraigned in Moriah Town Court and released on his own recognizance.
Hague accident
A Staten Island man was seriously injured when he drove a boat into a stone pier in Hague Sept. 7, police said. Police believe the crash was alcohol-related.
Timothy E. Klingler, 52, collided with the pier near Sentinel Pines Road at 10:40 p.m., the Warren County Sheriff's Office said. The 21-foot 2000 Malibu landed partially on the pier, police said.
He suffered head and chest injuries and was taken to Moses-Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga and then transferred to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt., police said.
Sheriff's officers believe Klingler had been drinking, and a blood sample was taken to be tested for alcohol content.
Hague Fire Department, Horicon Fire Department dive team and the Ticonderoga Fire Department dive team all assisted at the scene to confirm that there were no other victims in the water that may have been thrown from the boat.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
North Hudson arrest
A New Jersey man was arrested in North Hudson Sept. 11 as a reported fugitive from justice
New York State Police reported Philipe D. Vasconcelos, 21, of Elizabeth, N.J., was stopped at about 5 p.m. on Interstate 87 in the town of North Hudson. Subsequent investigation led to his arrest at about 7 p.m. as a fugitive from justice, according to police.
He was remanded to Essex County Jail.

Amelia Rae
September 17, 2009
6:25 pm
6lbs 7.9 oz 19 1/2 inches
Born at 35 wks exactly
Amelia holding Daddy's hand!
Labor began on Tuesday, September 15, 2009. After being in the hospital for 6 days, my body was giving out. I began cramping and contracting throught the meds. I was checked and had gone from a 5 to a 6. Two and a half days later, still contracting I was still just 6 cm.
Finally, on Thursday, September 17, my Dr. agreed that things were just too dangerous to continue being pregnant. My bag of waters had been bulging into the cervix for over a week and I had been bleeding for almost 3 days at that point.
We talked about what to do and I agreed to small dose of pitocin. They started it at the lowest setting and my contractions never got regular. After about 2 hours they turned it up a tiny bit and then turned it up a tiny bit more about an hour later. I started contracting regularly for 2 hrs and still no change. After about 5 hours on the pit and horrific contractions, I agreed to the epidural so they could break my water and turn the pitocin up. I was still 6 cm.
The epidural was AWFUL!!! The itching was horrific and it was turned up too high so I got numb all the way to the top of my head. They turned it down to lowest setting and turned the pit up to 1/2 max. My Dr. broke my water at about 5:35 pm and by 6:20 I was ready to push.
Five big pushes later, Amelia came into the world screaming and kicking! This was the first time that I got to hold one of my babies right after birth. She was placed on my tummy and she looked right at me and stopped screaming. It scared me, but my Dr. said she knew who mama was. DH cut her cord and they took her to the warmer. Turns out, she had a knot in her cord so it was a good thing we got her out when we did! Her apgars were 8/8, but after about 10 minutes she was having troubles with her breathing. The took her to the intermediate nursery for evaluation. When her respirations got up to 90-100 per minute, she was admitted to the NICU and placed on an oxygen hood.
She's really beautiful and has loads of black curly hair. She looks so much like her daddy and Natalie. It didn't really hit me that she is here and she is mine until I saw her in the NICU with all the wires and stuff. She should be fine but will need to stay a week or so in the NICU just to get her stabilized and let her learn how to eat.

I am a 14 yr vegetarian and a former vegan. I do rescue for all sorts of animals, large and small. We used sexed semen for our cow, so we do not have bull calves that when sold will go to slaughter - lol! I mean, I am serious about animals being treated kindly and not thought of as food; and with all of that said, I am not a PETA supporter because I care more about human beings. They protest in ways that scare children and honestly, as a group, care more for animal welfare than the welfare of children. I cannot support of that mentality.
Animals are not humans, and people must come first. I like that PETA has been able to help animals, but so do other organizations without humanizing animals and animalizing people.
I think people do need to remember that may not have seen situations some PETA people have that the extreme mistreatment and torture of animals can and will cause extreme reactions in people that care so much, but usually, they, as a group, take it too far and are just to extreme.
I've seen situations that made me want to go "PETA" on the folks responsible, it is true.
At the end of the day, they are not a group I'd consider being a member of though.
They have done some good, but they could have done a lot more good and had a better public image if they would exercise better control and use balance.
In addition, sometimes, as mentioned above, their stance on euthanizing animals is way off track, as in the case of the dogs mistreated by Michael Vick.

North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-il Dies at 69
We knew the day was imminent due to bad health and diet, but today it was unexpected.
YouTube has several videos of the North Korean people crying over the death of Kim Il-sung, father of Kim Jong-il. Now we have access to footage of people mourning over his son's death. At age 69, he hadn't done too badly. His diet was poor, due to famine in North Korea and bad choices. Also, at one point he was the single-handed largest importer and owner of Hennessy Cognac.
No one seems to know exactly how he died, although the rumors include diabetes, stroke and heart attack. Heart attack is the most commonly circulating speculation but only time will tell the true cause.
His son, Kim Jong-un is supposed to lead the country now. Many feel that he is inexperienced and that the North Korean officials may give the role to a dear friend of the family until he matures and gains experience. The other issue is whether or not he will be more lenient, more cruel or parallel the degree of rigidity that his father led with.
North Korea is one of the most heavily militarized nations on Earth. It is by far the most secluded, so much so it is commonly referred to as the Hermit Kingdom. From space, you see all of Eastern Asia lit up like a Christmas tree. Tokyo, Beijing and Seoul are all gleaming. Just ever so slightly North, however, not s single gossamer shard of luminescence is to be found.
The reason North Korea is such a mystery is that whenever an outsider enters the country – on the rare occasion that permission is granted – North Korea only shows its best side. "Minders" as they are called follow visitors everywhere. They never take their eyes off the people. So, all this being the case, how do we know about the prison camps? Well several defectors worked in the camps or acted as guards and describe vividly the tyranny that takes place behind the barbed wire, land mines and electric fences.
National Leaders and Members of Parliament worldwide are commenting on the incident. Many are worried about the events that will come after or proceed during this "difficult period of transition".
Whether or not the military development of north Korea will be held up is uncertain, but many speculate that their production and research into nuclear weapons will experience a set back until the death is no longer a big topic of concern to the country.
He was known by many names: The Great Leader, The Dear Leader, and The Great General. However, in history, he will be known as one of the cruelest, most unjust dictator to roam the Earth. Responsible for such atrocities as the prison camps, he will no doubt have trouble justifying any level of peace in passing come Judgement Day.

I was excited to find such a good deal on the 6800 Ultegra group for an upgrade to my new bike. The derailleurs shift quickly and very smooth. The finish was flawless.

Solid derailleur with better looks in comparison with the previous Ultegra 6700 version. In terms of performance, I haven't been able to really discern a difference between the two versions. That said, the performance has been solid and without any mis-shifts so far.

Excellent, creative options that you won't find anywhere else and not heavy like regular gelato. Friendly, helpful staff. Stop in!

Illuminated artwork
In our town square is a piece of installation art consisting of 300 rods of equal length arranged in a cubic lattice. The whole structure balances on a single vertex, with the diagonally opposite vertex at the top. Each rod contains an LED strip light, which can be independently switched on and off. A microprocessor controls this, lighting up the rods that form the shortest continuous path between the bottom and top vertices.
Each combination of rods (meeting the shortest continuous path criterion) is lit up for 10 seconds, then another and so on, until all combinations have been displayed, when the cycle starts again.

Clinique Acne Solutions Line (all products)

Package Quality: 4.0

Package Quality: 4.0

Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
Let me first start off by saying that I have used several Clinique products in the past and have usually had very good results with them. I'm in my freshman year of college and due to the change of environment, and stress, my skin has really gone out of whack. I've always had acne-prone skin, but now on top of that, my skin is very oily and sensitive. Not a good combo!
I was at the Clinique counter and saw that they were offering a trial size (about a month's worth) of the line for about $30. I had a coupon, was desperate for my normal skin to be back, so I bought it. It came with the cleanser, clarifying lotion, moisturizer, and spot treatment. They were fairly small bottles, and I doubt it would last me a whole month, but I figured it was worth a try.
The first few nights, I really liked the line. The first morning after use, my skin did look slightly better, and I did like the fact that I didn't have any new spots. My acne was pretty bad at this point, and everyday I've have new blemishes. Over the next few days, I began to notice my skin was dry, which I actually enjoyed because my skin has previously been incredibly oily. However, within a week or so my skin was way too dry and very irritated. This stuff began to sting when I would use it. After two weeks of use, my face looked like a big tomato, it was so red! And my skin really hurt.
I lowered my usage to just the face wash, but still had horrible irritation. Even using the products individually didn't reduce the amount of irritation. And, while all this was happening, there really wasn't that much improvement with my acne.
I stayed on this system for maybe two months, but my skin couldn't handle it. I quit using it, switched to some plain products that were more gentle, but my skin is still recovering from this stuff. My acne is worse than it was before, and I have lots of blemishes that are cracked open and many areas with redness.
Overall, if you have skin that is not normally sensitive and doesn't normally react to many products, this may work for you. But if you have even the slightest bit of sensitivity, you should probably stay away from this. Way to harsh for me, and I will never repurchase.

This product is neutral for me. It didn't help with my acne or made it worse. It is very gentle, does not cause any irritation or redness to my skin. The clearing moisturizer controls oil very well, it leaves my face very matte. But that's it. It didn't clear my skin.

I think I'm one of the only people that this works for, because it is totally clearing me up!
A little background- I'm asian, with normal/combo skin, and has mild acne. It's only on my forehead, with some blackheads on my nose. Never anywhere else.
At first I thought this would be too harsh, and had replaced the cleanser with the olay foaming cleanser. WELL, turns out that doesn't work, and you have to use the whole thing. When I used the clinique cleanser, I was totally cleared up!
I don't think this line is for people with severe acne, which is weird because it's so drying. I have not had any redness/stinging coming for the products, so I guess I'm very lucky LOL.
I've only been using this about a month and a half, so I really hope I'm not speaking too early, but this just might be what finally will clear me up. I'm probably being totally dramatic, since I'm still in High School and has only had acne for about 3 years, but I count myself lucky for finding something that works after not TOO long.
I would recommend this, but use another moisturizer. The clinique is more of a spot treatment, so layer something else over it. Other than that, it's perfect!
EDIT; I spoke too soon, but this product has stopped working completely for my skin. in fact, it's drying my face out SO much, it hurts. don't try if you have dry skin. luckily i already found something else that works for me :D

Not for people with acne. I tried this line years ago and it did nothing for me. I am one of those women that really give products a chance to work, I used it for a whole month. I saw no improvement in my skin. I even felt that it made my skin oiler. I don't understand that one.
Their are cheaper products at a drugstore that work a whole lot better. I would not even waste your time and money on this line.

Okay so I was really excited to use the system because I wanted to get rid of my acne once and for all! The first time I used it, I was absolutely amazed. I went to bed with my face feeling the most clean and fresh it has ever been. But when I woke up, my entire chin and around my mouth area was completely dried out! It was awful! That is one of the biggest cons of this; how dry it makes your face. Besides the dryness, it totally cleared up my skin! I just need to invest in a good moisturizer to put on my chin, but I'd definitely buy this product again!

This whole system was horrible. I was so excited to start using these products because I generally love Clinqiue but I was horribly disappointed. My acne got worse after 3 weeks of use to the point that it hurt and was so ugly that I didnt even want to go out of the house. I went to the dermatologist today and she prescriped a mixture of pills and topical treatments, thats how bad it is now.
Cleanser: Didn't find that it cleared my skin and I didn't feel so clean after using it either.
Toner: Stung SOOO badly an dmade my skin red which wouldnt tone down for hours, even with makeup over it. Was so annoying to unscrew the cap and it would often spill.
moisturiser: cant be called so-dried my skin out like there's no tomorrow and at the same time didnt get rid of pimples.
Emergency spot healing gel: stung when applied and didnt reduce pimple size at all.

I decided to buy this line after the great reviews on here and on youtube. Personally I don't see what the hype is. Although it did decrease the amount of blemishes and redness, the blemishes I did still get were bigger than normal, and I also experienced cystic acne (which hurt so much).This 3-step is also dries out your skin, and i found that i had to use an additional moisturiser quite regularily. the benefits of clearer skin are definitely not worth the pain!
I also noticed that if i skipped a few days of using the 3-step my skin started to go back to how it normally was. Clinique is not a cure for acne, its just a temporary fix.
In australia, its also quite expensive with the 3 step package costing about $120 dollars, and if you use the products twice a day everyday, as recommended it will only last you about 6 weeks.

I love this! I've only been using the kit for three days, morning & night-time and I've already seen improvements. I've tried basically everything out there and my blemishes/acne would never go away but this most certainly works! :) I hope I'm not speaking too soon... but I'm pretty sure it's the best thing ever!

Wow. I have to say, for me, this stuff works! I've only been using it for one week, but in that one week it has definately helped clear my skin! I was hesitant to buy this because I really have tried just about everything out there. I tend to get big breakouts along my chin/jawline, and sometimes between my eyebrows. I have used Proactiv and it did work for me, for a while anyway. It seemed like after a while my skin stopped responding to Proactiv, so I was trying other things (just about everything from the drugstore, Murad, DDF, a cream my doctor had me try..).
Anyway, on to Acne Solutions. I picked this up along with the Acne Solutions Liquid Foundation (which I am also liking a lot). Started using the system day and night as directed. I also have been using Clean & Clear sensitive skin cleanser to remove my makeup prior to using Acne Solutions. For two days I used just the 3 steps and right away it sucked the life out of my skin. My skin became SO DRY and tight. I got extremely dry and red/irritated patches under my jaw/neck. I'm not used to having dry skin, I usually have Oily-combination skin. I was thinking, oh no, this is not going to work. my skin was so dry and uncomfortable and makeup was looking horrible over it, dry, chalky, cakey. yuck.
So when I bought the system I also recieved a GWP which included a small size Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. So I decided I should try this lotion along with the 3 steps to combat the dryness. I was worried that this lotion might counter everything and make me break out even more, since it has mineral oil in it, and is not formulated for acne prone skin. But I have had NO problems with this moisturizer! For the last 5 days I have been using the lotion along with the system and daily my skin is looking better! my pimples are clearing up FAST, the lotion is keeping my skin comfortable, and my makeup looks much better when applied over the DDML. I think i'm going to have to purchase a full size lotion! I'm really surprised how much I like it.
I marked that I will purchase this again, but I've been thinking that once I am done with the system i may want to try the regular 3 Step System instead of the Acne one. I'm thinking that maybe once my skin is in balance and cleared up, maybe I will be able to use something a bit less harsh and drying. But we shall see! I'll come back to update in a few weeks. I know this is a bit early to give such a positive review, but I really am amazed what it has done in just 1 weeks time!
It is on the expensive side ($48 at Macy's), but I really feel like it is worth it! Give it a try, if it doesn't work for you, they offer a money back guarantee!

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/240,406 (MFT-0510/35349.01) filed Jan. 29, 1999 entitled "Extensible Object Model," which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
This invention relates generally to object-oriented run-time environments, and more particularly to providing extension to methods inherent in such environments.
A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever. The following notice applies to the software and data as described below and in the drawings hereto: Copyright� 1997, Microsoft Corporation, All Rights Reserved.
Object-oriented programming (OOP) languages are rapidly replacing the procedure-oriented programming languages that were prevalent in the early 1970's. An object is an encapsulated module of code and related data that is externally accessible only through well-defined and controlled connection points, known as the object's methods and properties. The values of an object's data defines the object's "state." Another object can determine the first object's state and optionally modify that state by specifying the first object's methods and properties in a message directed to the first object. A collection of objects is created to perform the functions a programmer wants to include in a computer application. The OOP paradigm commonly supports the collection as a hierarchy of interconnected objects in a parent-child tree model.
Various application development environments expose object models whose objects are static in nature. Such objects support a fixed ("inherent") set of properties/methods and are not extensible by external packages. Existing extension mechanisms require that extensions be provided via fixed property/methods or through collection objects. A logical and a hierarchical extension of the object model requires code, interfaces, typelibaries and computer executables to be changed.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for an extension mechanism that can be bound to a particular object in an application object model to provide functions beyond those that are standard in an application development environment, such as additional methods and/or properties for the objects that form the application. Furthermore, there is a need for an extension mechanism that allows the code for the extension to be dynamically added when the extended function is referenced.
The above-mentioned shortcomings, disadvantages and problems are addressed by the present invention, which will be understood by reading and studying the following specification.
An extensible object model enables extending the inherent methods and/or properties of an object residing at any level in an application object model hierarchy through an extension object. An extension provider object is proffered by an extension package when the extension is first referenced. The extension provider object creates an appropriate extension object that implements the computer-readable instructions and data necessary for the extension. All references to the extension are serviced by the extension object. Information about the extension package is registered in an extension database when the package is installed, and the database is used to resolve references to the extended methods and/or properties upon execution of the application. A hierarchical parent-child relationship is maintained between the object extended and the extension object that provides the extension.
In one aspect of the extensible object model, the extension provider object and the extension object are cached when first referenced and subsequent references to the extension are resolved to the cache. In addition, particular interfaces that enable the extensibility of objects in various object-oriented application development environments are described.
Because the extension object is not limited to being bound to the root object of the hierarchy, the extensible object model permits an extension to be provided to a single, particular object in the model at any level. Furthermore, because the run-time environment resolves the first reference to an extension to the appropriate extension package, extensions can be activated at application run time rather than at application compile time.
The present invention describes computerized systems, methods, and computer-readable media of varying scope. In addition to the aspects and advantages of the present invention described in this summary, further aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent by reference to the drawings and by reading the detailed description that follows.
In the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific exemplary embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that logical, mechanical, electrical and other changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims.
The detailed description is divided into five sections. In the first section, the hardware and the operating environment in conjunction with which embodiments of the invention may be practiced are described. In the second section, a system level overview of the invention is presented. In the third section, methods for an exemplary embodiment of the invention are provided. In the fourth section, particular implementations of the invention for object-oriented application development environments are described, including a Visual Studio development environment from Microsoft Corporation. Finally, in the fifth section, a conclusion of the detailed description is provided.
Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations, including hand-held devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
The exemplary hardware and operating environment of
The system bus 23 may be any of several types of bus structures including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. The system memory may also be referred to as simply the memory, and includes read only memory (ROM) 24 and random access memory (RAM) 25. A basic input/output system (BIOS) 26, containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 20, such as during start-up, is stored in ROM 24. The computer 20 further includes a hard disk drive 27 for reading from and writing to a hard disk, not shown, a magnetic disk drive 28 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 29, and an optical disk drive 30 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 31 such as a CD ROM or other optical media.
The hard disk drive 27, magnetic disk drive 28, and optical disk drive 30 are connected to the system bus 23 by a hard disk drive interface 32, a magnetic disk drive interface 33, and an optical disk drive interface 34, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for the computer 20. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that any type of computer-readable media which can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memories (ROMs), and the like, may be used in the exemplary operating environment.
A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk 29, optical disk 31, ROM 24, or RAM 25, including an operating system 35, one or more application programs 36, other program modules 37, and program data 38. A user may enter commands and information into the personal computer 20 through input devices such as a keyboard 40 and pointing device 42. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 21 through a serial port interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port, or a universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 47 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 23 via an interface, such as a video adapter 48. In addition to the monitor, computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers.
The computer 20 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computer 49. These logical connections are achieved by a communication device coupled to or a part of the computer 20; the invention is not limited to a particular type of communications device. The remote computer 49 may be another computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a client, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 20, although only a memory storage device 50 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN-networking environment, the computer 20 is connected to the local network 51 through a network interface or adapter 53, which is one type of communications device. When used in a WAN-networking environment, the computer 20 typically includes a modem 54, a type of communications device, or any other type of communications device for establishing communications over the wide area network 52, such as the Internet. The modem 54, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 23 via the serial port interface 46. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 20, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It is appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of and communications devices for establishing a communications link between the computers may be used.
The hardware and operating environment in conjunction with which embodiments of the invention may be practiced has been described. The computer in conjunction with which embodiments of the invention may be practiced may be a conventional computer, a distributed computer, or any other type of computer; the invention is not so limited. Such a computer typically includes one or more processing units as its processor, and a computer-readable medium such as a memory. The computer may also include a communications device such as a network adapter or a modem, so that it is able to communicatively couple to other computers.
A system level overview of the operation of an exemplary embodiment of an extensible object model is described by reference to
The inherent methods of window object 203 are extended by an "editor" method through an "editor" extension object 204 obtained via an extension provider object 208. The name "editor" for the method is not resolved, nor are the extension provider object 208 or the editor extension object 204 bound into the object model, when the application is complied or loaded. Instead the name "editor" is resolved to the extension object 204 when an application first invokes "foo.editor," known in the art as "late binding." Before the application is executed, an editor package 207 that proffers the editor extension object 204 is obtained from its vendor, registered in an extension database 205, and stored on persistent storage 209 as editor package 206.
When "foo.editor" is first invoked by the application, the run-time environment executing the application determines that the editor method is not inherent to the foo window object 203 and searches the extension database 205 to locate the editor package 206. The package 206 proffers the extension provider object 208, which is responsible for creating the editor extension object 204 to service all calls to the editor method. A locator value for the editor method is cached to bind the method name "editor" to the editor extension object 204 when the first invocation of foo.editor is made. Binding through a locator value is referred to in the art as "ID binding." Subsequent references to foo.editor are directed to the editor extension object 204 by the run-time environment.
As will be immediately perceived by one skilled in the art, the extensible object model is not limited to extending an object with only additional methods but is equally capable of extending an object's properties. Furthermore, both late and ID binding of the extension and extension provider objects into the object model has readily apparent benefits, including the ability to ship an object-based application without providing all extended capabilities in the same package.
While the object model illustrated in
The system level overview of the operation of an exemplary embodiment of the invention has been described in this section of the detailed description. An extensible object model enables an object at any level in the model hierarchy to be extended by binding an extension object with additional functionality into the model. The binding is at invocation time of the extension through either ID or late binding. While the invention is not limited to any particular object model hierarchy, for sake of clarity a simplified, extended two-level hierarchical object model has been described.
In the previous section, a system level overview of the operation of exemplary embodiments of the extensible object model were described. In this section, the particular methods performed by a computer implementing such exemplary embodiments are described by reference to a series of flowcharts. The methods to be performed by the computer constitute computer programs made up of computer-executable instructions. Describing the methods by reference to a flowchart enables one skilled in the art to develop such programs including such instructions to carry out the methods on suitable computers (the processor of the clients executing the instructions from computer-readable media). The methods described in this section can be equated directly to methods of the extensible objects themselves or can be computer-executable instructions performed by other objects in the run-time environment.
Referring first to
If the extension is registered, the run-time environment uses the corresponding entry in the extension database to determine if the extension object for the extension exists (block 315). If so, the run-time environment processes the invocation of the extension method or property by directing the call to the associated function provided by the extension object (block 321).
If no extension object exists, the run-time environment uses the extension's entry in the extension database to locate the package that proffers the extension provider object (block 317). The package creates the extension provider object, which then processes parameters passed in by the run-time environment to create the appropriate extension object (block 319 The run-time environment then directs the call to the extension object (block 321).
In one embodiment, the entry in the extension database contains a locator (such as a. "moniker" or "clsid") for the extension package that causes the computer-readable instructions and data for the extension provider object and the extension to be read from persistent storage at block 321. In an alternate embodiment, both the extension provider object and the extension object are cached when first invoked so the instructions and data as read from cache at block 321 on subsequent calls.
The particular methods performed by a computer for an exemplary embodiment of t extensible object model have been described. The method performed to register an extension has been shown by reference to a flowchart including all the steps from 301 until 305. The method performed to resolve an extension has been shown by reference to a flowchart including all steps from 311 until 319.
In this section of the detailed description, particular implementations of the extensible object model are described which are applicable in a general object-based application development environments such as Microsoft's Visual Studio development environment. Because the extensible object model provides extensions that are accessible through late or binding and thus the extension objects do not have to be present when an application is developed, independent software vendors (ISVs) can readily extend an application from another vendor by proffering additional methods and/or properties for the objects comprising the application.
As illustrated in
Two extension objects obtained through the methods described in the previous section are illustrated in
The VBProjects extension object 404 is referred to as dte.VBProjects. An application that employs the extensible object model shown in
Similarly, an application that employs the extensible object model shown in
In one embodiment, an extension database is maintained for each application employing the extensible object model. Each record in the database is associated with a registered package and contains data pertaining to a particular extension.
Additional details for the fields of the database record 501 are given in Table 1.
In an alternate embodiment running under one of the Microsoft Windows family of operating system, entries in the Windows registry comprise the extension database. Each package entry appears as follows:
In both embodiments, the run-time environment registers the relevant method and/or property information in the appropriate application database or under the appropriate registry key when the extension package is installed. Furthermore in both embodiments, a package can provide more than one extension by proffering different extension objects, with each extension having a separate entry in the appropriate database.
In the exemplary implementation, the extensible object model provides an internal extension interface so that an object derived from the interface inherits the ability to maintain parent-child relationships between itself and its extension object(s) in an extensible environment.
Extension provider objects, such as ExtensibleObjectProvider object 409, implement the following interface:
In order to establish the appropriate parent-child relationship between the object to be extended (the parent) and the extension object (the child) at run-time, when the extension is first invoked, the run-time environment locates the package and issues a standard QueryInterface call to obtain the lExtensibleObjectProvider interface. The parent object is queried for its lExtensibleObjectSite interface using QueryInterface. The required extension object (AutomationObject) is obtained via a call to
"lExtensibleObjectProvider: :GetAutomationObject( )," passing in the corresponding extension name and the parent's lExtensibleObjectSite interface, along with additional arguments as appropriate. If the extension name does not uniquely identify the extension object to be proffered, the extension provider object calls the "IExtensibleObjectSite::GetSiteID" method to get the identity of the parent object (ObjectID). The combination of the parent identifier and the extension name uniquely identifies the corresponding extension object. Once the appropriate extension object is identified, its interface pointer (IDispatch) is returned. Because a parent object must exists as long as the extension (child) object exists, the extension object notifies parent object via "lExtensibleObjectSite: :NotifyDelete" when the extension object is to be deleted so that the parent object can perform its required clean-up duties.
In an alternate embodiment, extensible objects support a special method, "GetObject(ExtensionName, . . . )," which has its name present in the fixed name space for the object. Hence, applications can bind to this method at compile time ("early binding"). When the GetObject method is invoked, it performs all the extensible object binding mechanics, as previously described, to obtain the extension object. Therefore, the extensible object model in this embodiment can be employed by application development languages that do not readily support late binding. For example, dte.events.GetObject("VBProjectsevents") returns an object that is obtainable through dte.Events.VBProjectsevents in
In the Visual Studio exemplary implementation, the extension database is stored in the Windows registry and each entry is as follows:
Neither the ObjectID nor the InternalName are present in this implementation. Each extension package is cached after one of its extensions is first invoked.
In one embodiment of the extensible object model in Visual Studio, an extension package must support an ISvPackage interface.
When an extension that does not require arguments is invoked, the run-time environment uses the IVsPackage: :GetAutomationObject method to obtain the extension object for the given name from the package. If an extension requires arguments, an intermediate automation object is obtained through the IVsPackage;:GetAutomationObject method using a pre-defined name for the intermediate automation object. Using this intermediate automation object, an identifier (DispID) is obtained for the extension object via a call to IDispatch: :GetIDsOfNames for the given extension. Then IDispatch::Invoke is called, passing in the arguments for the extension.
In this section, particular implementations of the extensible object model for object-oriented application development environments have been described, including exemplary embodiments of the extension database and interfaces created in the extensible objects to resolve the name of an extension to the corresponding extension object that implements the instructions for the extension.
An extensible object model has been described that enables the binding of extended functions to objects in the model at application run time. Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement which is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the present invention.
For example, those of ordinary skill within the an will appreciate that although user applications have been used to illustrate the invention, the extensible object model is appropriate to other applications. Consider an operating system in which hardware components are represented as objects, so that, for example, a tape drive object can be extended with different compression objects that implement various tape compression algorithms.

Lithium ion batteries forecast: cheaper batteries and more of them on the way
By: SGN Staff
Much has been written about the lithium ion battery market lately, and a lot of it hasn't been good. Their prices are too high to fuel a widespread adoption of EVs and other applications, and the rare earths needed to make them are in short supply. But IDC Energy Insights has some interesting things to say about where the Li-ion market is going over the next few years and, against the current pessimistic backdrop, it's good news.
IDC says Li-ion batteries have become the technology of choice for energy storage and are much preferred as the power source for EVs and other applications. While the market research and consulting company concedes that price has held them back, it's going to get better.
Here's why:
· Li-ion batteries will get cheaper as the result of a major global manufacturing buildout, despite an expected hefty increase in demand over the next five years
· Demand and supply will be roughly balanced for at least the next three years, which will allow manufacturers to rev up production capacity, which will help cut prices
· As prices come down, more applications will be using them, causing a "self-feeding cycle" leading to lower prices and more widespread adoption.
"The lithium ion manufacturing buildout will reach a rough equilibrium with demand from car manufacturers, consumer electronics buyers and electricity grid operators over the course of the next few years," said Sam Jaffe, research manager for IDC. "This will lead to a dramatic reduction in price for Li-ion cells to as low as $400/kWh by 2015."
The increase in manufacturing capacity will jump substantially thanks largely to "massive private and public investment in the sector.

29 year old woman | Alvin, TX, USA | Seeking men 28-39 within 20 miles of Humble, TX
i want to be able to look back at my life and know that if nothing else, i had fun along the way
I am a fun person and tend to be a little goofy and talkative at times but I am mature when it comes to the important things in life. I love being outside and in nature, especially photographing it. When I have my camera I am always taking all sorts of strange and interesting photos and love to notice and appreciate the little things. I am looking for someone who will not bring anymore drama in my life since that seems to be all I can find when I look around. :) Someone who knows how to treat a woman and won't take advantage of the fact that I am a very forgiving person. I would love to find someone who likes to go out on occasion but is just as happy staying in and hanging out. I have a daughter that was born in July who is my world and is already becoming outgoing and silly like me. And just as an afterthought, I do have a few tattoos though most of them are covered by clothes....

I love eating different types of cuisine and Cafe Lili is one of my favorite places to eat.
Sleeping, eating, people watching, riding horses, swimming, my bed, books, my really cool rollerblades, the list could go on for days. Just ask!
I'm split between reading intellectual books and trashy romance novels. Both need to have some interesting material for me to enjoy them.

"The quality was better than I imagined! I picked the pearl finish instead of the matte and I am SO glad I did. It cost a little extra but I felt like it was worth it. My invitations came out beautiful and elegant. The rose gold foil really added to the card's elegance. It was exactly what I wanted and I was very, very happy with it! It even came before the expected date. The process was really easy. When I called to ask a question, I was helped by a really nice lady who answered all my questions and made it easy for me. And when I emailed to change and add something on my invitations during the review process, they did exactly what I wanted and everything was done in a timely manner. I asked to personalize the card by adding "Together with their parents" at the top of the card and it turned out great. I wanted the parents to be included in the invitation. Loved it."
"The invitation came out great. On the backside of the invite, I chose the red/maroon color with hotel accommodations listed. In the picture the red/maroon did not look like it matched the blossoms on the front too well. When I received it, the colors matched perfectly!! i have had so many comments about how simple, but beautiful the invite is!"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"I am so pleased with my experience with Wedding Paper Divas. This invite was on high-quality paper. The gold foil is just the right touch of shine that I was looking for. We ordered in a custom color that was exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend!!!"
"I love the actual design and thought my invitations came out beautiful. The pocket fold envelope adds an extra touch of elegance to the invitation. The one thing that bothered me was the white line on the upper and bottom left hand side of the foil of the invitation. When I called I was told that this was actually a part of the design (which to me is a flaw) and that there was no way to fix it. I was offered a full refund, though. I decided to keep the invitation because all and all for the price that I paid my invitations were beautiful and most probably would not notice anyway."

Say: dust mytz
Dust mites are teeny, tiny bugs that live in household dust. You have to be pretty small to live in dust — and they are. You actually need a microscope to see them! So if you can't even see them, what's the problem? Well, people can be allergic to dust mites and their droppings. This stuff gets into the air, and without the person knowing it, the dust mites can get into someone's lungs. Dust mites don't bother most people, but if the person has asthma, they can worsen breathing problems. It's also tough to get rid of dust mites because they work themselves into soft places like pillows, blankets, mattresses, and stuffed animals.
