Bush's legacy on global warming
Those rabble-rousers at Greenpeace have done it again:
I had nothing to do with this! Here is the press release:
Bush Plan Portrayed as a Disaster on Eve of U.S-Led Climate Change Meeting
WASHINGTON– Responding to the Bush administration's continued obstruction of international efforts to address global warming, Greenpeace activists turned one of the nation's most iconic symbols into a memorial to Bush's failed legacy on climate change. Greenpeace projected on the Washington Monument the message: U.S. Global Warming Plan: Hell and High Water accompanied by an image depicting rising sea levels at the base, a predicted consequence of global warming.
"President Bush's policies on global warming are a disaster," said John Coequyt, energy policy analyst at Greenpeace USA. "His international meeting on climate change in Hawaii slated to begin tomorrow is a rogue process to deflect attention from the administration's insistence to maintain America's dependence on dirty and dangerous energy sources while failing to address the growing climate crisis. As the Washington monument has long outlived the president it was built to honor, so too will Bush's legacy on climate change stand as a memorial to his neglect, obstruction and destruction."
Greenpeace's projection served to call attention to Bush's global warming policies a day after his State of the Union address and on the eve of Bush's international meeting of the world's largest emitters of global warming pollution, called the "Major Economies Meeting," which takes place in Hawaii on Wednesday and Thursday.
After being roundly rebuked in December in Bali at the UN's International Conference on Climate Change, the Bush administration continues to push its alternative Major Economies process that seeks to replace the Kyoto Protocol's legally binding emissions reduction targets with a completely inadequate voluntary approach. "If the President were serious about leading on climate change, he would stop obstructing the U.N.'s process and endorse a cap on U.S. greenhouse gas emissions," Coequyt said. The United States stands completely isolated as the only industrialized country on the planet not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.
"The Bush administration continues to push a climate-destroying agenda and to obstruct all meaningful efforts to address global warming by the international community," said Daniel Mittler of Greenpeace International. "Its role was so negative at the global negotiations on climate change in Bali last month that the U.S. delegates were literally booed by other participants. It was a stunning and well-deserved rebuke. This meeting is a charade and has no legitimacy at all."
Greenpeace is calling on the countries attending the meeting to maintain their commitments to substantive action under the Kyoto Protocol. Participating countries include: Japan, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, China, Canada, India, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Australia, Indonesia, and South Africa, as well as the United Nations, the EU Presidency and the EU Commission.
10 Responses to Bush's legacy on global warming
This is hilarious!
Here's a previous thought I had on Bush's meeting and the statement released calling for eventual cuts in growth of emissions:
Bush's text here is so weak as to be useless. And no one believes Bush's intentions here have anything to do with achieving meaningful cuts or addressing the reality of climate change.
So this begs the question: Why does he do this at all?
He has shown he will refuse to address reality whenever it is convenient for him. (Iraq anyone?) So what advantage does he gain by pretending to have gotten religion on climate change? His approval ratings aren't going to go up. It won't help any domestic programs or legislation. If this is to appease the international community, why? What the hell does he care about other countries?
Is it to try to make Republicans less susceptible on the issue in 2008? The party has steadfastly refused reality on the whole, too.
So, what's the point?
In 2006, unlike just about every other country in the world, the U.S. actually reduced CO2 emissions by 1.3%. Since this is a positive development, there is no possible way that anything done by the Bush administration contributed to it. 2008 CO2 emissions are as yet unreported.
Listen to your attorneys. Keep you mouth shut. Nobody's is going to believe you had nothing to do with it.
Sure, sure. Step over here and empty your pockets.
Paul K mentions the U.S. reduction in GHG in 2006. That's true. It also happened in 2001 and 1991. Those occasional negatives haven't stopped the U.S. from growing its GHG emissions by 1% per year for a total of 15.1% since 1990.
The EIA wrote about the drop:
* The important factors that contributed to a drop in carbon dioxide emissions in 2006 (see Figure 5 on right) included: total energy consumption in 2006 that was 0.5 percent below the 2005 total—due in part to favorable weather conditions (both heating and cooling degree-days were below 2005 levels) and in part to higher energy prices that helped to dampen energy demand.
* A decline in the carbon intensity of electric power generation that resulted from increased use of natural gas, the least carbon-intensive fossil fuel, and greater reliance on non-fossil energy sources also contributed to the decrease.
* Relatively small increases in emissions from other sources of carbon dioxide, such as industrial processes, and from the U.S. Territories, which in total represent only a minor share of U.S. emissions, were not enough to offset the declines from major energy sources.
Earl Killian,
Good info. The factors in the 2006 decrease seem still at play in 2007. Do you know when 2007 totals will be available?
Someone mentioned the 1.3% reduction in CO2 in the US in 2006, but implies it is better than most oter countries. That I doubt. For example, in 2003 the UK emissions are down 13.4% compared not to the previous year but to 1990!
US emissions are down largely because they have exported so much manufacturing to CHina. They blame China for the emissions but these are largely the result of manufacture of products for Americans, bought of course with money borrowed from the Chinese.
I have blogged on this myself at tonysclimateblog.blogspot.com.
You raise an important point, although it is more of a long term effect and probably didn't contribute to the slight downturn in '06.
Nevertheless, when the energy and GHG embedded in our imports are factored into US emissions, we have an even larger GHG emissions per capita than our bloated numbers suggest – we go from glutonous to obscene.
Electricity generation from natural gas had the greatest rate of ncrease in co2 emissions from 2004-05 (latest data from EPA Emissions ) at 7.5% compared to other fuel types. Trends show industrial emissions from the use of coal to be decreasing by greater than 3%. Change rates in emissions from petroleum fuel in the transportation sector have reduced by half. US GDP since 1990 has increased by around 55%, the co2 emission rate has increased less than 17%. Annual US emissions rates have never increased as much as they did per 2000 data when the rate of increase was greater than 3%.
And remember more than 90% of US cumulative co2 emissions occured in the 90's. We are still dealing with the Clinton legacy…
Bush has failed to lead on stopping global warming, but let us not forget that Congress has been dragging its feet also. Congressmen such as John Dingell have been favoring the energy and auto industries and not creating real climate legislation as they should. I love that Bush's huge neglect was highlighted in this way. But if we already know he will not do anything about global warming, why don't we focus our attention on those who may be able to make a change?

Change panel for indoor air temperature changes
Tate's EcoCore Phase Change Panel incorporates the latest advances in micro-encapsulated phase change materials to reduce indoor air temperature fluctuations and save energy.
Tate's EcoCore Phase Change Panel incorporates the latest advances in micro-encapsulated phase change materials to reduce indoor air temperature fluctuations and save energy. During the peak solar load of the day, the phase change material embedded within the welded steel panel is designed to melt and absorb energy. This stored energy can be held within the panel until cold air during the off hours at night allows the phase change material to resolidify and release the absorbed heat back into the space. Storing energy in this way produces a more stable and comfortable environment during the day while decreasing demands on HVAC systems and reducing energy costs.

Salvatore is a nice and helpful guy. The contact before we arrived was good and our early check-out was not a problem.
The appartment looks exactly like the pictures and was clean, but it is quite small and I would not recommend it for very tall people, more than 2 people or for a stay of more than 2-3 nights.
The location is great, next to the old town, 10 min. walk to the beach and with a nice view of the Garibaldi Square and the mountains outside Nice. The square has some traffic which starts very early in the morning so bring earplugs if you want to sleep with the windows open.
Salvatore was extremely friendly. Just booking one day in advance he was able to make a perfect hand over the next day. really flexible.
The flat and its location is perfect. I can not imagine a better location.
thank you
Proprietario gentilissimo e molto disponibile, appartamento davvero bellissimo, molto centrale, da cui è facile raggiungere qualsiasi parte della città.
Raccomando sicuramente.
Mooi en schoon appartement, maar wel erg klein. De derde slaapplek is eigenlijk niet te gebruiken want dan is de weg naar de douche/ wc geblokkeerd. Leuk dat het midden in Nice ligt aan een zeer gezellig plein. Wel hierdoor veel geluid 's nachts. Vriendelijke gastheer.
Vi är nöjda! Lägenheten är minimal, bäddsoffan inte särskilt skön och det bullrar av trafik och nattliv på torget utanför. Men läget är perfekt. Med öronproppar och lite tålamod på det trånga utrymmet, är det bra valuta för pengarna!
beau petit studio propre bien agencé et bien situé proche du vieux Nice et de toutes commodités
place Garibaldi très agréable avec toutes commodités
Bien reçue par Salvatore
Bon rapport qualité /prix
Ein Sehr schönes Aufenthalt,schöne Stadt.Das Bett war komplett demoliert, das Lattenrost war kaputt,also die Schlafmöglichkeiten waren null.Salvatore war sehr bemüht uns eine neue bleibe zu finden ,hat er auch gemacht,hat uns aber nicht gepasst da wir wieder nach 2 Nächten zurück in das alte Studio kehren sollten.
Trotzdem empfehlen wir es weiter.
L'emplacement est idéal, mais l'appartement est très petit. Pensez à apporter les linges de douche et le savon, car ce n'est pas fournit comme à l'hôtel.
L'autobus qui se rend à l'aéroport passe juste en face et coûte que 4 euro.
appartement tout à fait conforme à l'annonce.
au coeur de la ville, 5 minutes à pied du port, quasi dans la vieille ville, tramway a quelques pas.
équipement de l'appartement de base pour 3 personnes, pour se faire à manger et se reposer.
wifi et tv. machine à laver et seche linge, tout est bien pensé et très bien agencé!
je recommande vivement

Guitarist Mick Moody is best known as a member of the inaugural lineup of Whitesnake, though he actually began his career years earlier as a member of Juicy Lucy. After exiting Juicy Lucy, Moody played with Snafu for a few years, as well as on several session gigs, before joining Whitesnake in 1978. When bandleader David Coverdale began tinkering with Whitesnake's lineup in the mid-'80s, Moody resumed his prior career as a session guitarist; he also formed a blues-rock outfit called the Moody & Marsden Band with Whitesnake cohort Bernie Marsden, which released an album titled Never Turn Our Back on the Blues in 1994. Moody and Marsden reunited again in the Whitesnake-affiliated supergroup Company of Snakes in 2000, and Moody released his first solo album, the bluesy I Eat Them for Breakfast, in 2001.

Less than three weeks before the NFL Draft kicks off and there's plenty of news to catch up on. So lets get at it!
April 14th
Sources close to the situation tell me the New York Jets made a serious offer to the Tennessee Titans for the initial pick of the draft. Those with knowledge of the situation tell me the team was close to getting the deal done.
I'm told it is believed veteran defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson was part of the deal.
And while many in the New York area dismissed my initial report earlier this week over the New York Jets being dark horses for trading to the top of the draft, it was revealed within 24 hours of the report that Jared Goff would be making an official visit to the franchise. Goff won't make it past the fourth pick of the draft.
Will the Jets continue to attempt to move up into the early reaches of round one? Sources tell me they believe so but much depends on who the Los Angeles Rams ultimately select with the first pick in two weeks time.
Update 2:10PM
Coaches and scouts from the Cincinnati Bengals, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots and Denver Broncos were on hand at Florida Atlantic for the workout of German receiver Moritz Boehringer and once again he impressed future employers.
Boehringer ran an unscripted positional workout where teams requested certain routes during the workout and Boehringer obliged. He not only caught the ball well but absorbed the requests and easily ran the route tree asked of him. Just like his initial pro-day on March 31st, Boehringer looked very natural. He had one-on-one interviews with all the teams in attendance beforehand.
Boehringer has five team visits starting this weekend and will be on the road starting tomorrow until April 20th.
Those on hand were also very complimentary of Jacoby Brissett, telling me the North Carolina State quarterback threw the ball well.
Back in February I reported Jalen Ramsey was atop the Dallas Cowboys draft board and can tell you nothing has changed as the Florida State defensive back is still number one with the organization. I'm told the team has Carson Wentz of North Dakota State as their highest rated quarterback and top three on their board.
Dallas has come off of Joey Bosa somewhat as I'm told Leon Lett is down on the Ohio State lineman. They continue to be very high on Buckeye running back Ezekiel Elliott. I spoke about both of those players being targets of the Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles.com two weeks ago.
The Cowboys are one of four teams that have inquired on moving up to the top spot of the draft. The other three teams are the Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers and the New York Jets, who are the dark horse. The overall belief around the league is the Jets don't have the ammunition to move up. The question is would they be willing to move up a half dozen spots is Paxton Lynch falls to the middle of round one?
I'll have more Jets news next week.
During combine week I mentioned on Walters Football the word around Indianapolis centered on the Baltimore Ravens dropping back into the bottom half of round one then selecting a safety. I was told last week the team loves Su'a Cravens, hence he could be the target if they trade down. I'm was also told Baltimore will consider cornerback Cyrus Jones in round three.
There's a belief the Tennessee Titans would be best trading down for a variety of reasons. Besides the usual, "collect more draft selections," some have told me trading down would take the pressure of new general manager Jon Robinson. Its no necessarily an opinion I share with the likes of Laremy Tunsil and Joey Bosa at the top of the draft but its an opinion floating around none the less.
Washington State offensive lineman Joe Dahl is building some momentum for himself and there's a belief he could land in the second day of the draft. Teams like his athleticism and ability to adjust, something I spoke about during Senior Bowl week, and fee a bit more strength would complete his game. Dahl's visit and workout schedule is loaded and includes the New York Jets, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Bucs, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, San Diego Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts.
During pro-day at Texas A&M earlier this week I posted the visit list for Germain Ifedi at Walters Football. Absent from the teams on the list were the Seattle Seahawks yet most people I speak with feel Ifedi is a great fit for the team at the end of round one. The recurring comment is "Ifedi is a Seattle Seahawks type of lineman."
German receiver Moritz Boehringer is participating in an open workout for all NFL teams at Florida Atlantic beginning 1PM today. Jacoby Brissett of North Carolina State is slated as the practice quarterback. I should have updates through the afternoon.
Speaking of updates…I apologize to all who have asked about my delinquent position ranking updates but the daily pro-day reports at Walter's Football took enormous time. I should ranking updates by Monday, the initial posting of 700+ individual reports starting next weekend, the final rankings and updates through draft week.
19 Feb
Just a week left before the 2016 NFL Combine kicks off as the offensive linemen and running backs are set to take field next Friday. But before anyone runs a forty yard dash across the turf in Lucas Oil Stadium, here's the latest news as team prepare to ascend on Indianapolis.
Eyebrows were raised when I reported from Shrine Game practice that a number of teams grade Kevin Dodd over his Clemson teammate Shaq Lawson and as time passes those rumblings continue to get louder. Much has to do with the fact team's believe Dodd brings more upside and a higher ceiling compared to Lawson. Dodd is expected to measure 6-feet/5-inches and 275lbs at the combine and has a height advantage over Lawson. As of this posting Dodd has been informed he will only be asked to participate in defensive line work at the combine despite the fact there are a number of 3-4 teams considering him at outside linebacker. He has been working on linebacker techniques with former NFL defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell and will run through OLB position drills during Pro-day if asked. I'm told his forty goal at the combine is 4.8-seconds or faster.
Could the Arizona Cardinals be a landing spot for Dodd in round one? Yes, potentially, as I'm told the team will target defensive ends in the first round and also hope to add a safety in the early part of the draft.
If the Buffalo Bills don't grab a quarterback in the first frame one player at the position they will consider later is Kevin Hogan of Stanford. I was informed the team came away from the Senior Bowl very impressed with his athleticism as well as his arm strength and really like his next level potential.
I graded tight end Jerell Adams as a 7th round pick prior to really digging into the South Carolina game film last week. Since finishing up there's definitely a need to adjust my grade. I later spoke with people around the league who believe Adams made major strides in 2015 and went from being a basketball player on the football field in 2014 to becoming a tight end last season. Teams are not only awed by his athleticism (Adams is hoping to run in the low 4.6's and vertical jump at least 37-inches at the combine after weighing in near 248-pounds) but the toughness he displayed as a blocker during the Senior Bowl. Given the overall weakness at the position its not unrealistic Adams becomes the fourth tight end off the board in April.
One non-combine tight end prospect that's always intrigued me is Michigan's A.J. Williams. The senior was not rated by teams entering the season but has garnered a lot of interest from both the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys recently. Williams has offensive tackle size at 6-feet/5-inches and almost 270-pounds but moves well about the field and is a solid short range passing catching target. Expect him to time in the 4.8's during Michigan pro-day and though Williams may not be selected in the draft, he'll have an opportunity next season as a third tight end brought onto the field during short yardage situations or in the red zone.
In the lead up to the combine teams have been buzzing over Kamalei Correa of Boise State. The junior, who lined up at defensive end in college, is projected to outside linebacker by most though some teams feel he could play inside in a 3-4 alignment. The Broncos bowl game against Northern Illinois offered scouts a glimpse into the versatility and athleticism of Correa, intangibles more and more teams want at inside linebacker. I'm told Correa will measure 6-feet/3-inches and 245lbs at the combine, with his goal in the forty being the mid 4.7's.
Prior to the season Boston College linebacker Steven Daniels received little notice from scouts despite productive junior and sophomore campaigns when he combined for 160 tackles. Although the Senior Bowl was stacked with terrific middle/inside linebacker prospects many thought Daniels was worthy of an invitation to Mobile and it was a travesty he was not asked to play at the Shrine Game. In the end it won't matter as Daniels will be working out for teams next Sunday at the combine. He'll likely measure a shade under 6-feet tall and should tip the scales in the mid-240's. Expect Daniels forty time to be somewhere in the high 4.7's to low 4.8's. Presently I grade him as a sixth round prospect.
10 Feb
Workouts at the NFL combine start two weeks from Friday as the offensive linemen and tight ends take the field at Lucas Oil Stadium. In the run-up to the combine here is the latest word from insiders.
How early will Myles Jack of UCLA be draft? The word from NFL decision makers is very early. Some, including my buddy Josh Norris at Rotoworld, grade Jack as the top player in the draft. And though many would disagree, including myself, its not a far fetched opinion. NFL decision makers are referring to Jack as a "rare athlete", a label not often thrown around. They love his athleticism, intensity and versatility to play three downs in a variety of schemes. They also point to the four touchdowns he scored when lined up at running back. When I mentioned my concern about his size the name of Shaq Thompson, the Panthers first round pick in 2015, was brought up. It was also pointed out Jack is head and shoulders a better prospect than Thompson.
How do NFL executives feel the initial five picks will fall? In recent conversations before the Super Bowl the order that gets the most votes at this early stage is 1) Laremy Tunsil, 2) Jalen Ramsey, 3) Jared Goff, 4) Myles Jack, 5) Joey Bosa.
I heard talk during the Senior Bowl that Tunsil could be the first pick of the draft. Goff at three is interesting for a variety of reasons, including a potential trade.
One team that would not be happy to see Jalen Ramsey going so early are the Dallas Cowboys as I'm told he's presently graded as the top player on their board.
Someone drawing a lot of interest and intrigue from teams is former LSU cornerback Rashard Robinson. Personnel people from the Oakland Raiders and New York Giants believe Robinson would've competed for the top cornerback spot in this year's draft had he played the past two seasons and built upon his impressive freshman campaign. I'm told he will measure over 6-feet/2-inches and is expected to run the forty in the 4.3's at the combine. I've also been told Robinson has been invited to participate at LSU's pro-day. As someone told me earlier today teams are willing to roll the dice on tall corners that can run fast as the demand far outstrips the supply. The point being Robinson could be selected much earlier than people project.
Trevone Boykin has received an invitation to the combine and will be working out with the quarterbacks two weeks from Saturday. I'm told Boykin has been doing receiver work during his combine preparation but presently there are no plans for him to run routes or catch passes in Indianapolis or during pro-day at TCU. Rather Boykin will workout at receiver as teams come to campus to individually test Josh Doctson and Kolby Listenbee.
People I've spoken with believe the out of the box office moves by the Cleveland Browns will pay off in the long run. The feeling among many is Paul DePodesta and Sashi Brown, both Harvard graduates, will install a system that should weed out the bad apples and finally end the run of draft busts that has plagued the franchise for years.
Recently the New York Jets were linked to quarterback Colin Kaepernick but no one I've spoken with, even from Kaepernick's camp, feel there's any legitimacy in this potential move. I can say without a doubt general manager Mike Maccagnan is not sitting around admiring the Executive of the Year Award recently handed to him by the PFWA. People I've spoken with laud Maccagnan and the Jets for leaving no stone unturned since the end of the season and the team has literally interviewed every player that attended each of January's All Star games.
I'm told the Jets really like third year offensive tackle Brent Qvale, which could offer them some flexibility at the position. Many believe the team will try and renegotiate the contract of veteran left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson to give themselves more cap space.

Since I had never been on the section of course between Governor Basin and Viginius Pass in the day light, I decide that this would be a good hike to streatch my legs before the race. I also wanted to see what the snow conditions looked like. This stream crossing is right after the governor basin aid station.
Looking up stream
Scott and Rod were out from Haiwii to pace their friend Doug. So they came along to experience some of the course.
The route follows a jeep road for a while. The begininning was totally snow free.
Working up to the junction of Governor Basin and Sydney Basin.
You can still avoid the snow.
The first real snow section. The snow was in excellent shape.
Rod and Scott getting their snow feet.
There are several section of snow while going across the road.
Old mining structure.
More snow sections on the jeep road traverse. Lots of good tracks through the snow.
Looking at the snow on the climb to the bench below the pass.
There is an excellent path up the right side. Very well defined steps.
Rod and Scott with Sneffels in the background.
Close up.
You can see the great steps cut in the snow.
Can finally see the top of the pass.
Some of the course marking flags were having issues. I reset the ones that sunk into the snow.
The final stretch to the pass. The steps diagonal in from right to left.
Again the snow was in great shape. Soft but not too soft to posthole.
Right near the top the snow got too soft.
On the pass.
Looking down the route into Telluride. Still some snow to traverse across on this side.
Bridal Veil Falls and the basin above.
Beak Creek above Telluride.
Rod and Scott on top of the pass. This was their highest elevation to date!
Looking at the mountains West of Telluride.
On the way down.
Wild Flowers are out.
We got back to the car just as it began to storm.

Pieris (butterfly)
|Pieris (Whites)
|Small White (Pieris rapae)
|Scientific classification
Schrank, 1801
See text
Pieris, the whites or garden whites, is a widespread now almost cosmopolitan genus of butterflies of the family Pieridae.The highest species diversity is in the Palearctic. Many species of this genus have caterpillars which feed on cabbage and other members of the Brassicaceae. The chemical basis of this association with a certain plant group has been studied for over 100 years, and is now known to occur via a number of biochemical adaptations to chemicals called glucosinolates in these plants. In contrast to most other insects, Pieris caterpillars are able to detoxify these chemicals, and have become so specialised that they will not eat any food without glucosinolates. The Pieris females, in turn, check for the presence of glucosinolates before laying eggs on a plant. The crop-damaging species have spread from Eurasia to most of the rest of the world (most recently to South America and Africa) and are considered pest insects almost everywhere.
The females of many Pieris butterflies are UV reflecting, while the male wings are strongly UV absorbing due to pigments in the scales.[citation needed]

It's 12:52 in the morning and I'm at a hotel in Springfield, Ohio.
My new record is called When The Devil's Loose. To me it sounds like a radio washed ashore after a shipwreck. This whole thing started in upstate New York with snow on the ground. I got out of there, drove around the country for a bit and landed in Water Valley, Mississippi, where I kept working. The days grew longer and the snakes began to wake up. I ate catfish and walked around a lot. We got a lot of rain. The weeds grew at an alarming rate and we finished work one night under a red moon. My last record was called American Hearts. I know people that like it. Fat Possum Records put it out and is releasing When The Devils Loose. My brothers and my friends helped me record this new one. I'd like to thank them for that.
This hotel may have been nice once.

Anyone have this plugin working? I u/led it to the plugins directory and it isn't even detected as a plugin.
Anyone have this plugin working? I u/led it to the plugins directory and it isn't even detected as a plugin.
Lack of comment previewing is a major disappointment for me with WordPress 1.5. Personally, I'm inhibited from posting comments on a blog when I can't preview them first. Maybe it's just not considered an important feature in the blogging community? Any enlightenment about this is appreciated.
I'm using Live Preview from here and it's working well-ish. (on 1.5 strayhorn)
I wrote this up here
a very simple process. and it works just fine in 1.5
Thanks for the suggestions. I noticed Live Preview last night but it didn't seem WP 1.5-ready.
This is my first serious attempt to set up a weblog and I'm not familiar with all the components of WP yet. I tinkered with some 1.2 releases a few months ago before getting distracted by other projects. A couple weeks ago I tried one of the newer 1.5 nightly builds, then decided to wait for an official release. So, it's great timing that it showed up a few days ago and I'm glad to be on the upward curve of its evolution even if some 1.2-based features are available.
It's rare to find comment previewing on WP blogs so I'm wondering if comment previewing will ever become a more "mainstream" WP (1.5?) feature that makes it popular to enable. Maybe trackback/pingback to one's own blog is a reason previewing doesn't get more attention? Why I'm asking is because without previewing it feels like I'm losing a feature that's been essential for me on forums (along with post editing) as I embark on the journey into blogging. I'm certainly open to the possibility of making it something I won't miss, but right now I feel crippled without it and thought other folks might appreciate that feature on my future blog. That's all. :)
Live Preview works fine on my site, so I would say it's 1.5 ready as-is. Follow the instructions carefully, though, as there's several ways to enable it depending on where you want the previewing to happen.
Thanks for confirming it works before I tackle integrating it using the sparse instructions, including a comment from Kelson on Chris' site. It already looks like WP will be a fun "trial by fire" learning experience.
There is also ComPreVal: Comment Preview and Validation plugin, see http://dev.d10e.net/wordpress/
I keep forgetting to try that one. Seems like a terrific plugin to me!
I have spent hours and hours trying to get preview plugin to work in 1.5 without major mods to core code etc.
I am a newbie and this one worked 'out of the box' with just the one line added to comments.php in my theme folder:
well you can add one more to that, and it's available from wp-plugins.net and .org or the main author site:
Works in 1.5 absolutely fine - just upload and activate.
man, what am I doing wrong. This doesnt work on my site. You can place the <?php live_preview() ?> tag anywhere right?
7milesdown I have updated the plugin, in order to work with WordPress 1.5. By the way, if you are using 1.5 I will suggest this plugin. Just activate the plugin and you are done! :)
I switched my site from MT to WP and now that everything is almost ok, I realize there's no preview comment available... :( With all the plugins available, I didn't even think I won't find one for this really basic feature!
I just want simple preview, no live preview.
I can't get Compreval to work (tells me my comment should not be empty when it's not), but anyway it has two major caveats: The html tags appears in the "edit you comment" form and it bypass the cookie made to remember the user's info.
So, is there really no basic preview plugin for WP?
So, is there really no basic preview plugin for WP?
The Live Comment Preview doesn't seem to do anything I need - it doesn't offer an HTML viewer, just plain text echo.
I'm testing ComPreVal: http://dev.d10e.net/wordpress/ recommended above. So far it looks good. Installing with Default theme was trivial. Now I'm looking at integrating with my Manji2 theme.
I agree LivePreview is useless, IMO.
I can preview with ComPreval but not post, it sees my comment as empty., even with default template and I'm don't really want to spend time to make it work because of the two drawbacks I mentioned in my previous post. Plus, checking xhtml is nice, but it doesn't check Textile syntax, which is a problem of WP or Textile plugin, btw: You can post whatever you want in Textile!
Live Preview does support html tags. What are you talking about? Test it out here.
Do some research before you post.
Fuzzy_logic> Do some research before you post.
Sorry if I got it wrong. I spent an hour+ testing, it never displayed any of my tags, such as simple .
And, perhaps not important to others, but it definitely doesn't display pasted XHTML - I inferred that it was trapping keystrokes(?).
That said, I only tested on Mac OS X - maybe what I saw is platform specific?
I think this is an important issue for WP - the user community expects comment preview.
Live Preview will not work when a user is delivered 'true' XHMTL (ie. application/xhtml+xml not text/html).
That is due to the fact that .innerHTML will not work in an XML document.
This is to update and correct my 3/8 post that Live Preview did not process HTML tags. Today I finally had time to dig into this. As pointed out by fuzzy_logic the plugin works fine - it is really quite nice, many thanks to authors Jeff & Iacovos.
There's a saying that "knowledge of existence is the key to finding stuff", right? Knowning it would work motivated me to figure out how to make it work. It turns out my original problem was due to testing Live Preview in Safari and giving up too easily. It installed easily in my WP1.5/Manji2 theme - I didn't try running unmodified Manji2 comments.php - I inserted the
<?php live_preview(); ?> call where I wanted the preview. No other changes required.
The nice styling buttons builtin to Manji don't work properly in Safari either - c'mon Apple get it together!
I dinged Apple in my just-posted reply, then discovered that Live Preview formatting doesn't work in IE6/PC! I have tested with both Default and Manji themes - neither displays correctly.
Of course it works perfectly in Firefox Mac/PC, sigh.
Could this be why some WP users report "no workee" and some report "OK for me"?
I also tested IE6/PC (on XP SP1) using Chris's demo page
which also does NOT work on my PC.
Any suggestions mucho appreciated!
I installed the live preview plugin on WP 1.2.2 and now comments are only accepted when the WP cookie is deleted or removed from the cookies folder.
I am also using the Trencaspammers graphic-recognition utility to block comment spam. Since installing the comments preview plugin, a commenter can enter their name, e-mail address and comment, but the Trencaspammers entry form for the code number won't let anything be keyed in if there's a WP cookie on board. At least, that's the best I can figure this out.
I deactivated the plugin and that didn't help. I then removed it, along with the code line that goes in wp-comments.php, and that didn't help.
Can anyone tell me what changes the plugin may have made in other files that should now be undone to get things back the way they were before the plugin was installed?
Update to my previous entry. It appears this is only a problem with IE6, as FireFox comments still work properly.
This is the biggest dissappointment for me with WordPress. Why can't the developers pull their heads out of the sand and put a basic comment preview feature in the core code?
I've tried both the solutions above, but neither of them is a TRUE preview of a visitor's comment. They don't apply my filters. In fact, ComPreVal doesn't apply ANY filters -- if I'm reading the code correctly, it actually DISABLES the default WordPress filters. It also adds html tags that will seriously confuse my readers (not everyone is a web developer like you). The Validation stuff is entirely unnecessary for me because I'm already using Textile, which, in theory, should clean up whatever cruft a user wants to stick in the comment box. The whole plugin seems unnecessarily ANAL.
Why, oh why has a simple TRUE comment preview not been built, yet? I've built a quick and dirty plugin for WordPress before, but this is entirely out of the scope of my expertise. Someone out there who knows how to code this, please get on this one!
I tried it in IE6 XP Pro SP2 and it worked.
This one is not working on IE 6 (xp, sp2): the bold or italic text remains the same. Silly.
Working great with Firefox though.
Maybe it's just something with the code used to render the output... I'm writing to the author (Jeff).
I installed both versions of this at my site and the preview part works for either. The problem I have is that I can not get it to process html tags. I went to the test site and it works great but at my site it just posts the text.
I use the Avant Browser and have never had a problem with any WP items but I also tried it in IE and it did not work there either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried this with Firefox and the html tags work.
So, how do I make this so it will work for the folks who do not use Firefox?
There was a bug for ΙΕ in the previous. I have updated the plugin, so you can download the latest version. I am realy sorry for the late responce. Please, let me know for any other similar problems.
I've just written a plugin that does a Movable-Type-like preview of comments, and I included a Trencaspammers-like captcha, all of which can be configured from the admin panel. I'd appreciate any feedback. Filosofo Comments Preview.

Deceptive Creatures
Posted in BlogsJuly 1, 2015No comments
The natural world has just as many thugs, thieves, cheaters, and fakers as the human world. Plants and animals are constantly evolving new strategies to defraud each other. Even as one creatures perfects a method of fooling another, the others devise counter-methods to avoid the traps.
Two of my favourite deceptive animals are the cuckoo bird and the hog-nosed snake.
The cunning cuckoo
The cuckoo often lays its eggs in the nests of other birds.Cuckoo egg in a swallow's nest/credict/google image
Can you spot the odd egg out in the picture above? It's easy enough for us, but some birds don't perceive colour the same way as humans. The cuckoo mother is wily enough to make sure she only hijacks nests belonging to birds which can't tell the difference.
The cuckoo chick is just as cunning as its parent. Once it hatches, it will sometimes push the other eggs out of the nest, especially if the nest is small. In this way it ensures that it gets the maximum attention from its foster parents.
Though some birds are really good at spotting an impostor's egg in their nest, most of them aren't. The foster parent doesn't seem to realise the trick even when the cuckoo chick has grown bigger than itself, and continues to feed it and take care of it for a long time.credits/wikimedia commons
The few birds that are capable of spotting an impostor egg do so by noticing changes in colours, shape, size and arrangement of eggs. So, if the bird arranges the eggs a certain way and the impostor egg doesn't fit in, it throws it out. To counter this strategy, brood parasites like the cuckoo are always trying to make their eggs less identifiable, while birds whose nests are used as a home by such parasites are constantly devising techniques to identify impostor eggs.
The theatrical snake
The hog-nosed snake's strategies are quite different from the cuckoo's. A timid and non-venomous snake, it tries its hardest to burrow underground and hide quickly when attacked, but if this fails, it has a range of theatrical techniques up its hood.
When attacked, the hog-nosed snake first pretends to be a cobra, and hisses at its attacker. If the attacker seems unconvinced, it starts to play dead by rolling on its back. Now, you or I would play dead by simply closing our eyes and lying very still, but the hog-nosed snake is a much better actor than us. It emits a foul smell, hangs its tongue out, and sometimes even leaves a few droplets of blood on the ground. While it's playing dead, if you touch its mouth or fangs, the hog-nosed will continue to lay still. Then, if the attacker looks away for a moment, the hog-nosed snake makes a quick escape.
Can you tell us about some other animals that are deceptive?

We did a mixed grill of shrimp, chicken and veggies. Absolutely delicious. And the sauce is divine. What's leftover we plan on basting our wings with tomorrow.
My kids and I practically INHALED these! Trying the marinade next on chicken. Thanks!
I love this recipe! The sauce is ridiculously tastey and very versatile - it tastes great with chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp and pretty much any vegetable suitable for grilling; and works as an appetizer or an entree. I use low sodium soy sauce so the other flavors don't get masked by the strong salty taste of the soy sauce. Great addition to my grilling cookbook! Thanks!
I loved this recipe. The weather turned nasty so I ended up doing a quick stir fry. I heated the sauce in microwave without cornstarch/juice. When shrimp was done I added sauce with cornstarch/juice to hot pan off the heat which created a most wonderful sauce coating the shrimp. This was quite salty (and I like salty foods and this may be due to the my cooking method) so may use reduced salt soy sauce next time or reduce in marinade if I do inside again since the sauce coated so nicely. My one dissappointment with this was that I halved the recipe!! Made it my best of 2009 cookbook. Served over rice cooked with bell peppers and asparagus which also worked quite well with the sauce.
Great recipe! I skewered my shrimp with mushrooms, onions and cherry tomatoes. Served over jasmine rice with the sauce drizzled over. I added Siracha hot sauce to both the marinade & the sauce for an added kick.
Yummy! Served this dish for a hawaiian-themed party and they went quickly!
Awesome shrimp recipe. Love the sauce in this. It had just the right amount of tartness and blended well with the soy sauce. I don't know exactly how much Soy Sauce I used because I just kept adding until it tasted right to us. The sauce took this recipe right over the top. I got great reviews from my DD and her BF. I only wish I had served this with rice, but the kids wanted baked potatoes since I also had Teriyaki Beef Kabobs made at the request of the kids. Steak and shrimp just doesn't get much better. Thanks EE for a great recipe.
great recipe echo, I made this on my indoor flat grill, I did increase the shrimp amount slightly, increased the garlic and added in Tabasco to the marinade, the hot ginger sauce needed some cayenne also, will make again, thanks echo!...Kitten
What a wonderful way to serve shrimp! They had such a wonderful flavor. The hot ginger sauce was extremely tasty itself, but honestly we thought the shrimp were wonderful on their own. Don't get me wrong, they were great with the sauce too, but we loved the marinade flavor itself. The sauce would be a great condiment for other dinners also (chicken or salmon cakes for instance). We served these with corn on the cob and steak as part of a surf and turf dinner. Thanks for another great recipe echo!!
Wow - this is perfect for a busy day - peeled shrimp and put in marinade before work and just finished up after work for a wonderful supper (that didn't taste like a rushed supper). I made a few changes partly because I bought the wrong size shrimp (medium shrimp), which I put in a grill basket along with one onion (sliced verically) and two bell peppers (one yellow and one green). I served this on top of white rice topped with the delicious sauce -- wonderful - won praises all around! Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having again and again!

Sonia Rolland
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (January 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Beauty pageant titleholder
Sonia Rolland in 2009
11 February 1981
Kigali, Rwanda
|1.78 m (5 ft 10 in)
|Miss France 2000
Miss Burgundy 1999
Sonia Rolland (born 11 February 1981) is a French actress and was Miss France in the year 2000. She also competed in the Miss Universe competition. She was the first African-born winner of the Miss France pageant.
Born in Kigali, Rwanda, to a Rwandan mother and a French father, Rolland and her family fled the country due to safety concerns with the Rwandan Genocide instigating, especially since her mother is Tutsi. In 1990 they moved to the neighboring country of Burundi. With the growing unrest that led to the Burundi Civil War, they emigrated to France in 1994. At the age 13 with her family, Rolland was settled in Burgundy in the small town of Cluny.she is a distant family of Kamanda Alain
In October 1999, Sonia Rolland won the "Miss Burgundy" beauty contest that allowed her to compete for the Miss France 2000 title and at the age of 18 she was the first woman of African descent to win. At the Miss Universe 2000 pageant, which took place in Cyprus, Rolland was a top 10 semi-finalist, placing 9th overall.
Rolland once lived in Paris with Christophe Rocancourt, an impostor, confidence man and gentleman thief who scammed affluent people by masquerading as a French member of the Rockefeller family. They had a daughter together, named Tess. They announced their split on 10 April 2008. Rolland has another daughter, Kahina, with actor and director Jalil Lespert, who is her partner since 2009
At twenty years old after serious acting lessons with renowned actor Alain Delon, Rolland embarked for a new career as an actress. Following an unsettling incident during which she was attacked in the metro she took kickboxing classes that later proved advantageous as they helped her land the role of Léa in the television series Léa Parker that ran for two seasons from 2004 to 2006.[1]
Literary work[edit]
Rolland' s first book was published in 2007 titled "Les gazelles n'ont pas peur du noir" which in English translates to " Gazelles are not afraid of the dark". The book is her testimony to her childhood in Rwanda, transition to a different culture, her modeling and acting career, her philanthropic work and her family. [2] Her next book was "Beauté Black" which was collaboration with Sandrine Jeanne-Rose, an expert in ethnic and black cosmetics and hair care. This collection of practical guidelines is mainly meant to reach women of African descent. The two beauty enthusiasts focus on three areas: the face, the body and most importantly the hair essentially afro-textured hair as it is an important subject in the black community.
Rolland's work is mostly concentrated in Rwanda where she focuses a lot on education, as it is one of the things children survivors of the Genocide have missed on.[3] She is currently collecting funds that will go towards building a school. With her new documentary "Rwanda Mon Amour" (Rwanda My Love)[4] in the works the former miss France is hoping to inspire other African nations to follow the example of Rwanda by encourage the people to participate in the ongoing changes but at the same time Rolland promises to be impartial and objective about the achievements of the country over last 20 years. The documentary is expected to make an appearance at the Cannes film festival. [5]
