" Brand: Johnson's / Type: Bath Product "
Johnson's is a beauty brand under the Johnson & Johnson company. As well as being well known and trusted for their extensive baby range, they also have a range of toiletries aimed at adults (mainly women).
Here we have the Johnson's Extra Care Bath from the Dreamy Skin range. This is a bath cream designed to be used as part of your night time routine. It is proven to help you relax for sleep as it is enriched with a moonflower aroma and an aromasoothe fragrance.
The bath cream has been specially formulated for those who suffer with dry skin. It contains a small drop of oil and is designed to cleanse your body whilst aiding skin renewal with vitamins and moisturisers. This is supposed to take place overnight.
The bath cream comes in a tall, plastic bottle which isn't see through. The flip top lid allows for easy access even when hands are wet. The bottle is lilac and this blends in well with the corresponding items in the range.
On the front of the bottle, you will see the Johnson's logo and product name with a small bubble design. The back of the bottle gives you the product blurb, directions for use and contact details for the company.
The bottle can recycled after use and once opened, you should use this up within 12months.
The bath cream is dispensed through a medium sized hole under the flip top cap.
To use, start running your hot water tap and gentle squeeze the bottle at an angle to release a small amount under the running water. I recommend swirling it around the bath.
*Availability and Price*
This can be bought in a 400ml size from Boots at £2.75 (currently buy on get one free). I personally bought my 250ml bottle from B&Ms for the small sum of 79p!
*My Opinion*
I have been a fan of the Dreamy Skin range since purchasing the moisturiser last year. I trust Johnson's products and have never had any issues with any of them. Generally they are more expensive than store brands, but you do pay for quality. At 79p from B&Ms this was a bargain for me. I regularly use the body lotion in the range but this bath cream has been in my cupboard for a few months whilst I used up others lurking in my overcrowded bathroom. Yes I have about 6 bottles on the go at once which engulf hubbys bottle of Lynx and Boos Thomas bubbles!
I have been taking more hot, 30min baths recently in a bit to help me relax. I feel stressed out and a back injury from last year has been playing up..I just want to relax! This extra care bath cream promises to help me relax and it is to be used at night time. My most recent encounter with it was last night so here are my views.
The bottle is relaxing to look at due to its colour and minimal information. It is unfussy and simple yet appealing. I started running my nice clean bath and flipped open the cap. The gorgeous, sweet aroma of moonflower hits you and is so inviting. I could literally sit and sniff the bottle and forget about the bath! Pouring a small amount under the running water, a delicate lilac and fairly thick cream pours out. I swirl it about for a bit and notice it starting to soften and blend in with my bath. My water is really slow at running so I go and do other things for 10minutes. Heading to the bathroom, the delicate scent has evaporated through the flat. We live in a tower so don't have a window in the bathroom.
Looking into the bath, there is a decent amount of lilac bubbles gently floating on the surface of the water. Where the taps are, a huge mound of bubbles has formed and the water looked so pleasant that I didn't hesitate and hopped in..well I did take my clothes off first cause it ain't that brilliant lol!
Jumping the bath, I was overwhelmed by the softness. Underneath the bubbles, the water had changed to a bluey colour. I was able to stay in the bath for 30mins and it was a very relaxing and soothing 30mins. Unlike some of my other fruity bubble baths, the Dreamy Skin didn't attempt to wake me up and get me motivated. The sweet aroma slowly faded and my the end of my bath I was left with a floral aroma floating around. The layer of bubbles had disintegrated early on but the mound near the tap remained even after I had run the water away.
The bath cream can also be used as a body wash and I took full advantage of this, I didn't see any point in spending 30mins in a moonflower bath to wash myself down with Soap and Glory! The lilac cream lathered up better than I expected and a little went a long way. It rinsed off well and my skin was touchably soft and smelling delicious.
You do have the option to layer this scent up with the body lotion or cream. I have used a small amount of the body lotion after using this in my bath as too much and the scent would be overpowering. Working together through the night, the bath cream and body lotion allowed me to wake up with softer skin than if I hadn't worn them. I have used the bath cream without the lotion too and although the results were not as soft, it was still noticable.
I do use this mainly at night time but I also use it during the day if I have some me time and generally just want to relax. It works well to soothe my mind and body and I feel like I can forget about the stress for a bit and chill out.
The next time I am in B&Ms, I hope they have this still at 79p as for an excellent quality product, this is fantastic value.
Thanks for reading :)
I saw Johnsons dreamy skin extracare bath on special offer, it was £2 when it normally retails around £3. I have tried johnsons products over the years and have always found them good, lets face it if it's certain are good enough for baby's skins then johnsons are ok by me (this is not a baby product by the way!).
The product comes in a lilac coloured bottle of 400mls with standard flip top lid, easy to use and easy to squeeze. The gel itself is also lilac in clouor and apparently (according to the bottle) aromasmoothe with moonflower and has a drop of oil. It smells great, very relaxing I am unsure of what moonflower smells like so can't say how acurate it is, but it is lovely. The drop of oil can not be noticed as in you don't skid around your bath, but the gel does make your skin feel soft and smooth into the next day as it states it will. The smell however doesn't last as long as I would like. It says it will help you unwind and drift off to sleep better which I do feel it does, and I personally will look out for other products within this range.
I love products designed especially for night time, and this is my absolute favourite night time bubble bath. It makes me feel a bit snoozy just sniffing the liquid now! It's perfect for a warm, luxurious bath before bed.
The product comes in a light lilac bottle, and is called 'dreamy skin'. The writing on the front of the bottle tells you to 'prepare to sleep and awaken to beautiful skin', and I'll tell you, do just that! The product itself is very light lilac, and smells beautiful before you even put it in the bath. I can't describe the smell, it says on the front it is 'Aromasoothe with Moonflower', whatever that is.
Squirt the product into the bath whilst it is still running, you only need a few squirts to get a decent amount of bubbles. Shut the door whilst it's running so that the steam from the bath intensifies the aroma! It really does just make your bath smell lovely. It also has a drop of oil in it, so that is suitable for dry skin, which I love, so your skin is just that bit more cared for. I can't say I really noticed a particularly moisturising effect, but then I never do with any bath product. It didn't irritate my skin at all though. The smell is so relaxing, so is perfect for before bed, just don't fall asleep in the bath!
As long as you don't use a shower gel/soap with too strong a smell (better yet, use the dreamy skin shower gel), then the smell still should be lightly on your skin, and I really think the smell relaxes me, so I slip off to sleep a little more easily. I hope this review was helpful, thanks for reading!
Johnsons Dreamy Skin Extracare Bath Body Wash is one of the many items from Johnsons extensive range.
I received the Dreamy Skin Bath Body Wash as part of a pamper kit that I purchased.
The Packaging
Dreamy Skin Bath Body is presented in a beautiful purple purlescent bottle with a flip top which is unusual for bubble baths. The label states that is specially designed for dry skin - I guess this is why oil is included within the formula. It also states that you can 'Prepare to sleep and awaken with beautiful skin'. So great for people who find it difficult to get to sleep after a hectic or busy day.
Dreamy Skin Extracare Bath is currently on offer at half price for just £1.37 for a 400ml bottle at the time of writing this review.
This product reminds me of the Johnsons Baby Bedtime bath that is also available but this time for grownups.
It does not have the fragrance of lavender that most night time relaxants have which is refreshing as not everybody is into that. It is enriched with moonflower which contains relaxing properties that has a very delicate fragrance.
You do not have to use much of the product to produce lots of soft creamy bubbles. Just pour under a hot running tap and agitate the water a little. The liquid is purple in colour and has the consistancy of body lotion. A bath in Johnsons Dreamy Skin will leave you relaxed enough to help aid a good nights sleep if used as part of your nightly regime.
This is a product that I would not necessarily have chosen if I did not receive it as part of a kit but now I know how great it is this will definately replace my usual bubble bath.
Johnson's Dreamy Skin Extracare Bubble Bath for me i love this range! I first tried this product when it first came out and it was on special offer. I had a quick sniff from the bottle and thought the smell was gorgeous. It's quite a mouth watering, sweet sensual smell which i could see myself relaxing to in a nice hot bath.
Later that evening i ran a nice hot bath poured a little in and let the bubbles appear. The smell of the bubble bath was really lovely so calming but not too over powering. After my bath my skin felt so soft even my partner commented on how soft my skin was. The smell of my bath stayed with me for a while to.
The info which is given on the bottle by Johnsons about the product is:
Sleeptime is the ideal time for the body to unwind and renew. Taking a warm bath with Johnson's Dreamy Skin Extracare Bath is clinically proven to help you drift off to sleep better. This rich, velvety soft regenerative formula with nourishing vitamins helps skin's renewal while you sleep.
All in all i recommend this product for a lovely relaxing bath soak to help you unwind and helps make you have soft skin as a bonus.
I've been really stressed out of late and I do believe that I can go a long way to curing my feelings by generally taking care and being kind to myself. I haven't been sleeping or eating properly and I felt close to having a breakdown. All over Christmas and New Year I was as down in the dirt more so than I have ever been. I see a councillor (as I have eating disorder) and even he was worried about it. I could barely speak for two weeks and every time I went to say something I just wailed like an injured banshee. I felt awful, had headaches, was hungry (but couldn't eat) and I was in a horrible place which was a vicious circle it took me hard work to get out of mentally.
I did sort myself out by buying some Bach rescue products which are homeopathic. I bought soothing oils and lotions, camomile tea and even air fresheners with lavender in them. I started to eat some fresh fruit and drink water to wash vitamins down me and gradually I got there slowly. I do believe in pampering yourself when your down though it is very difficult I do understand that of course. Even going shopping to get items was a trauma for me and I was knackered and emotional but I achieved it and that in itself is an achievement lol
So I bought lots of new smellies. Sure I own plenty I am the first to admit but I wanted things especially to help my soothe my mind and jangling nerves and that's when I came across this product in Boots.
The Packaging:
400ml lilac plastic bottle with a screw on/off lid situated at the top of it. On the front I'm told it's Johnson's, Dreamy Skin, Extracare Bath 'with a drop of oil', Specifically for dry skin with moonflower. Then there is like a swirl pattern in purple and white and on that I'm told to prepare to sleep and awaken to beautiful skin. Then at the bottom of the bottle the size is stated (as I've listed already) and I'm told it's a Johnson & Johnson product and all of this is written in dark blue and dark pink writing. On the back I'm told a bit about the product, ingredients are listed, there is a bar-code, the recycle and size are on there and finally there are contact details given for Johnson & Johnson. It's a nice calming looking bottle actually. Smart enough and looks like a functional product of decent quality rather than pretty to look at or anything.
A Bit About The Product (According To The Back Of The Bottle):
Sleeptime is the ideal time for the body to unwind and renew. Taking a warm bath with Johnson's Dreamy Skin Extracare Bath is clinically proven to help you drift off to sleep better. This rich, velvety soft regenerative formula with nourishing vitamins helps skin's renewal while you sleep.
Using It:
Well I add some under running bath water. I can't specify an amount you simply add what you think is enough. It comes out of the bottle easily but in blobs as it's quite a thick, rich, glossy lilac cream opposed to running out easily. I then, to get it mixed into the water properly swish my hand about in it a bit. I then leave it and when I get back I am greeted by water with a hint of lilac and a few white bubbles though nothing major. Of course if you add more product you get more colour in the tub and more bubbles.
The smell is very pleasant. Sweet and creamy and I expected a lavender smell due to the colour of the packaging (but never got that). Well I have no idea of what the smell is and still after looking at the ingredients which are listed on the back of the bottle to help me write this review there is nothing on there that would tell me what the smell is meant to be. It smells like a light blend of flowers but as I said the most distinctive thing about this is that it's pleasantly and not overpoweringly sweet and quite creamy. It isn't a harsh smell or anything and in my view is suitable for men women and kids to use if desired.
When I get in the water it is soft enough. It isn't overly so or terribly moisturising or greasy and it doesn't dry my skin out either. The bubbles pretty much disappear after half an hour of being in the bath and your left really with a rather dull looking water but the fragrance holds till you've finished bathing. Use your ordinary bath and body products, shave legs whatever you normally do as this won't interfere with any of that and if you splash your hair with it by accident it doesn't dry it out!
When I get out of the bath and pat myself dry I'm not left with softer skin than usual and even the morning after using it I don't feel any different to be honest. Yes I feel fresher and cleaner of course due to having a bath anyway but that's that really. For me it's nothing special.
Does it give you a relaxing bath and/or make you sleepy? No is the short answer, it doesn't me. I mean I'm quite happy and relaxed to have a bath with pretty much anything in it anyway and this doesn't give me any more benefits than anything else I use. It certainly didn't make me feel sleepy. Really I'm a bit confused to what it is meant to achieve really as I didn't feel any effects. Dreamy skin implies and from what the bottle says that it's meant to give me renewed skin by morning...no not at all. Sleep didn't come but the relaxation part always does with a bath for me anyway. I'd say this. If you have trouble relaxing and sleeping and don't mind with parting £3.99 (in all good stores) then sure it's worth a go. It's not like it's not a perfectly nice bath product but just don't expect a miracle and you won't be disappointed!

Benson, Henson among 12 honored as Disney Legends
Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel from "The Little Mermaid," was among 12 contributors to the Disney legacy who were named and honored Friday morning as official Disney Legends during the D23 Expo in the Anaheim Convention Center Arena.
The awards ceremony kicked off the first day of the D23 Expo, hosted by noted TV personality Tom Bergeron, host of ABC's Dancing with the Stars and America's Funniest Home Videos.
"From giving voice to some of our most iconic and beloved Disney princesses to bringing a smile to millions of television viewers every morning for two decades, we are proud to present these 12 men and women with our highest, most coveted honor, The Disney Legends Award," said Disney president and CEO Bob Iger. "Our newest honorees now join this unique and prestigious circle, which recognizes those whose incredible talents and outstanding contributions have had a lasting, meaningful impact on Disney's great legacy."
Benson, an acclaimed voice actress and soprano singer, provided both the singing and speaking voices for Disney's Princess Ariel in The Little Mermaid and its sequels and TV Series. For more than 20 years, Benson has voiced Ariel in film, TV, video games, toys and at Disney Parks. She also starred as Sam in Disney's Enchanted and voiced Barbie in the hit Disney·Pixar films Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3, plus Weebo in the film comedy Flubber.
The late Jim Henson, an Emmy Award-winning TV producer and Oscar-nominated film director, was an American puppeteer and the creator of global phenomenon The Muppets. The cross-cultural appeal of The Muppets propelled television shows like Sesame Street, The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock to new heights. He also produced the cartoon series Jim Henson's Muppet Babies. The success of these series led Henson to explore such feature films as The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppets Take Manhattan, as well as the technologically ground-breaking fantasy classics The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. The Muppet legacy continued with such popular Disney films as The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island, as well as the upcoming The Muppets, premiering this November.
Linda Larkin is a celebrated actress and popular voice performer best known for providing the voice of Princess Jasmine in the Disney animated feature Aladdin, its sequels, spin-offs and television series. She has also been vocally featured in the Disney animated television series House of Mouse and the popular Kingdom Hearts video game.
Paige O'Hara is a Broadway actress and singer best known for providing the voice of Belle in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, its sequels, series and games. She also starred as Angela in the Disney film hit Enchanted. O'Hara has also been vocally featured in the Disney video game Kingdom Hearts and as Belle on the 64th Annual Academy Awards.
Anika Noni Rose is a renowned actress and singer who provided the voice of Princess Tiana in Disney's The Princess and the Frog. In addition, some of her Broadway, television and film credits include her Tony Award-winning performance in Caroline, or Change, the blockbuster feature film Dreamgirls, and television series including The Starter Wife and The Good Wife.
Lea Salonga is a celebrated actress and singer who provided the singing voice for two Disney Princesses: Jasmine in Aladdin, and Fa Mulan in Mulan and Mulan II. In addition to her recording and television career, Salonga's vast Broadway credits are highlighted by her performance as Kim in Miss Saigon, which garnered her numerous awards, including a Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics' Circle and Theater World Awards.
Also honored were Barton "Bo" Boyd, Regis Philbin, Jack and Bonita Wrather, Ray Watson and Guy Williams.
Each honoree receives a two-foot-tall bronze Disney Legends sculpture that signifies the imagination, creativity and magic they have brought to the company. Disney Legends Award recipients also participate in a handprint ceremony, and their bronzed prints will be displayed in the Disney Legends Plaza at the company's Burbank, California headquarters.
The first Disney Legend, actor Fred MacMurray (The Shaggy Dog, The Absent-Minded Professor, The Happiest Millionaire), was named in 1987. Including this year's honorees, a total of 237 Disney Legends have been named. Past Disney Legends include Tim Allen, Robin Williams, Julie Andrews, Howard Ashman, Annette Funicello, Peter Jennings, Angela Lansbury, Steve Martin, Alan Menken, Hayley Mills, Fess Parker, Sir Tim Rice, Dick Van Dyke and Barbara Walters.
At the inaugural D23 Expo in 2009, the Legends Awards ceremony, which honored Robin Williams, Beatrice Arthur, Estelle Getty, Rue McLanahan, Betty White, Tony Anselmo, Bill Farmer, Harry Archinal, Don Iwerks and Leota Toombs Thomas, was presented to thousands of Disney fans for the first time.

Hall Award which honors the top first-year coach in the nation, has a record of 12-44 in his second season at SUU and his second season overall as a head coach. In his first year at SUU Coach Robinson led the Thunderbirds to a sixth-place finish in the Big Sky Conference, earning a BSC tournament berth in the school's first season in the league. SUU posted an 11-20 overall record, including an 8-12 mark in Big Sky games last year, when two Thunderbirds, seniors Jackson Stevenett and Damon Heuir, earned all-conference honors. Coach Robinson came to Southern Utah from LSU, where he spent three seasons on the staff. Prior to his time at LSU, Robinson spent a season at William Jewell College and two on the staff at his alma mater, Stanford. During his time as an assistant coach, Robinson helped guide his teams to a combined record of 87-47 and four post-season appearances, including two NCAA, one NIT and one NAIA Division I national tournaments.

Robinson is assisted by Todd Okeson (Nevada '05), Chad Bell (Nevada '06), and Drew Allen (Southern Utah '10). Yahosh Bonner (Northern Colorado '10) serves as Director of Basketball Operations. Okeson and Allen were with the Thunderbirds last season while Bell and Bonner are in their first seasons with the program.
Brad Huse (Montana Tech, 1989) is 102-126 in his eighth season at MSU and 286-184 in his 16th season overall as a head coach. Coach Huse is 3-0 vs. SUU.
Captains: This year's captains are seniors Jayson Cheesman and Jaren Jeffery and junior Chris Nsenki.
Pre-Conference Schedule: The Thunderbirds' non-conference schedule was one of the toughest in the nation, as SUU's strength of schedule ranked 46th in Division I and second in the Big Sky after their nine non-conference games. The Thunderbirds' 2013-14 SOS was ranked as high as 34th. The non-conference schedule was heavy with road contests as the team scheduled just three official games in the Centrum before the conference opener. The Thunderbirds went 1-2, with a win over Arizona Christian and losses to UC Riverside and UNLV, at home in the pre-season and 0-6 on the road. The road slate included games at No. 23 San Diego State, California, Utah State, San Diego, Portland and Cal State Northridge.
SUU by the Numbers: In Big Sky games, the Thunderbirds are averaging 59.4 points per game on 43.1 percent shooting (.333 threes) while knocking down 67.9 percent of their free throws. SUU has allowed conference opponents an average of 72.6 points on .474 shooting (.387 threes) and has been out-rebounded by an average of 33.6-27.6 caroms per game. Sophomore wing A.J. Hess leads the team in scoring at 9.5 points per game, with freshman guard Trey Kennedy second at 8.6 ppg while senior forward Jaren Jeffery adds 8.2. Sophomore forward Casey Oliverson leads the team in rebounding with 5.2 caroms per Big Sky game while Jeffery is second on the squad with 4.2 boards and Hess averages 3.9. Kennedy leads the team with 2.4 assists per game while freshman guard John Marshall is second on the squad in assists with 2.3 per game and leads the team with 16 steals. Junior Cal Hanks leads the team with 12 blocks, Jeffery has 10 and senior Jayson Cheesman has nine.
Scouting Montana State:
The Bobcats are 8-5 at home this year and 5-7 on the road, including a 5-4 record in Big Sky home games and a 3-4 mark in conference road contests. The Bobcats are 4-4 in their last eight games, a stretch which began with their 54-52 win in Cedar City on Feb. 1, including a 2-3 mark at home. Since that time they have lost to Montana, Eastern Washington and Weber State and topped Portland State at home, while winning at North Dakota and losing at Northern Colorado.
Senior forward Flavien Davis (6-5, 225) leads the Bobcats in scoring at 12.4 points per game, while sophomore guard Marcus Colbert (5-11, 190) adds 9.7 and senior center Paul Egwuonwu (6-9, 235) chips in 9.4 ppg. Egwuonwu pulls down a team-high 6.7 rebounds and Colbert averages a team-high 3.1 assists per game.

Montana State has knocked down 71 percent of its free throws and has been out-rebounded by its opponents by an average of 32.5-to-31.6 caroms per game.
Young T-Birds: Southern Utah is one of the youngest teams in America, with just 10 combined seasons of collegiate experience heading into the 2013-14 campaign. SUU has five true freshmen (not including walk-ons) on the roster and three of the five have played in every game. Freshman point guard Trey Kennedy has started all but four games while guard John Marshall has started 16 games and wing Juwan Major has started seven. Wing Race Parsons, who has appeared in all but one game, got his first career start against Idaho State while wing McKay Anderson has also had one start – alongside Kennedy, Major and Marshall – at Cal State Northridge. In addition to the freshmen, forward Casey Oliverson, a sophomore in his first season with the Thunderbirds, has started 15 games.
Thunderbird Notes:
• Eric Rippetoe came off the bench to score a career-high 17 points vs. Eastern Washington. He hit 3-of-3 3-point attempts in the first half and 4-of-5 overall vs. the Eagles.
• Casey Oliverson had arguably his best week as a Thunderbird last week. The sophomore forward posted his first career double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds against Portland State, then came back with a 16-point, seven-rebound performance against Eastern Washington. The 19 points vs. PSU were a career-high and the 10 boards tied his personal best.
• John Marshall scored a career-high 15 against PSU, then matched that total against EWU. The freshman guard also led the team in assists in both games, dishing out four dimes vs. PSU and five against EWU.
• In two games against Eastern Washington this year A.J. Hess has pulled down 17 rebounds, including a career-high nine at EWU and eight vs. the Eagles in Cedar City. He has apparently enjoyed playing against EWU, as he scored a career-high 24 points in Cheney, Wash., last year, had 17 there this year, and finished with 15 against the Eagles last Saturday.
• The Thunderbirds out-shot the Vikings 52.1-to-47.3 and held a 35-27 rebounding edge, their largest rebounding advantage of the season.
• Trey Kennedy came off the bench vs. PSU for just the third time this season and responded by scoring 19 points, his third-highest total of the season, and pulling down a career-high five rebounds.
• SUU has used 13 different starting lineups this season.

The showcase animations in MediaStream are pretty choppy/jerky on my system - even with fan-art turned off. This gets worse as I add more movies to my library - with only a few movies, it runs ok.
I really like the look of the showcase, but would definitely be willing to do without some of the animations if that would make for a smoother experience. Does anyone know if there is there anyway that I can either fix the choppiness, or opt out of the zoom animations?
I'm running XBMC on a core 2 duo @ 2GHz, with 2GB RAM (running windows vista).

Japanese jackpot lifts Aristocrat's outlook
Page Tools
The gaming machine maker has watched its shares more than double this year as investor confidence in the new management team has overridden concerns about several lawsuits.
Picture:Brendan Esposito
Poker machine maker Aristocrat Leisure Industries surprised the market yesterday with a better than expected first-half earnings forecast of $50-$60 million, resulting in a 14 per cent surge in its share price to $4.31.
The forecast was well above the "normalised" $4.3 million net profit in last year's first half, with most of the improvement attributed to the continued success of Aristocrat's pachislo operations in Japan.
"The results reflect the continuing underlying strength of the business and the progress that the company continues to make in positioning itself as the leading global provider of gaming solutions," said Aristocrat chief executive Paul Oneile.
Aristocrat shares have more than doubled this year as investor confidence in the new management team has overridden concerns about several lawsuits facing the company that could materially affect results.
CCZ Equities analyst Tony Waters said earnings from Japan were a big component of the forecast and showed that expectations of a decline were unwarranted. This could lead to a "substantial upgrade in market consensus numbers", he said.
CommSec analyst Derek Francis told Bloomberg the company would probably upgrade its full-year numbers to "around the $100 million mark" compared with consensus earnings of about $69 million.
The Japanese business more than doubled revenue for the financial year ended December 31, after a change in regulations forced the withdrawal of rival gaming machines from the market.
Aristocrat said that it was uncertain whether the result could be sustained, and the issue has tempered analysts' forecasts.
Aristocrat yesterday offered forecast-based unaudited, preliminary results for this month, which included the debut of its Daruma-Neko gaming machine in the Japanese market.
The company said its results for the six months to June 30 were expected to include the sale of between 42,000 and 45,000 of the machines, known in Japanese as Lucky Cat or Pot-bellied Cat.
Aristocrat is still facing sev-eral legal actions including a $13 million claim by former chief executive Des Randall, a shareholder class action in the Victorian Supreme Court and an action for patent infringement in the United States.
Aristocrat's former chief financial officer, Lionel Jeyaraj, and its head of Latin American operations, Mike Snyder, are also seeking payments from the company.
"I think that most investors who are interested in the stock would be aware of the issues before us at the moment," Mr Oniele said.

He is cruising along at about 80 and all of a sudden a black V and a rust/orange C6 fly by him side by side at around 120-130.

Happy Father's Day!
posted at 12:02 pm on June 16, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Happy Fathers Day to all Hot Air dad and granddads! I especially want to wish my father, Ed Sr, a happy Fathers Day today. I took this photo last year at his 80th birthday party, while he was dancing with my two granddaughters. This was shortly before the youngest one accidentally knocked him down on the dance floor, which understandably freaked me out. Dad, though, bounced right back up and seemed surprised that anyone would worry about him, laughing while I tried to make sure he hadn't broken anything.
Dad's still in fine form to this day; I just got off the phone with him, and he's full of plans for the summer, including a visit to Minnesota at the end of the season. Those of you joining us on the Eddie and Duanie Cruise in July will get a chance to meet him, and to hear many embarrassing stories from my youth. I can't wait to show him off, actually, even with the mildly embarrassing tales — when you've got the best dad in the world, you want everyone to know it.
And that's as mushy as I get, which is probably a little more than the Old Man would want anyway. Hope all of you get the chance to spend a little time with the great dads, granddads, godfathers, and children in your lives today. Fire up the grills and let the celebrations begin!

First workshop on mother-to-child HIV transmission held in Turkmenistan
Workshops for healthcare professionals on HIV transmission to be rolled out across the country
Ashgabat, 6 February 2008 – The first ever workshop for health professionals dedicated to tackling the prevention of mother-to-child-transmission(PMTCT) of HIV has been held in Turkmenistan.
UNICEF supported the Ministry of Health and the Medical Industry of Turkmenistan to organise a 'train-the-trainers' workshop on PMTCT, and then supported these new trainers as they led the first workshop on this issue in the country for paediatricians, gynaecologists, and other health specialists.
Important initiative
Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS
Prevention of mother-to-child transmission is one of the four focus areas of the campaign "Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS" launched by UNICEF and UNAIDS in 2005 to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS worldwide. The campaign stresses that the national AIDS policies should prioritise prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and that the governments should promote this. Governments are also urged to integrate prevention of mother-to-child transmission into maternal and infant health care as well as linking it to other services such as drug treatment and counselling.

You probably spent the holidays with family, friends, and a ton of great food — honey-baked hams, mashed potatoes, pecan pies, pastries and more. Even though the family went back and the decorations are put away for another year, a big part of the holidays still remains: ADDED POUNDS!
What now? Join a gym? Unfortunately, more gym memberships are purchased in January than ALL the remaining eleven months combined! Whether your New Year's Resolution is to lose weight, eat better or get healthier, statistically, 92% of resolutions are abandoned by January 20.
There are three reasons for this.
- No accountability. Unless you have a personal trainer that makes sure you show up three times a week or friends who motivate you, it's too easy not to go to the gym.
- No results. The weeks go by and no "six pack" and you still can't fit into your "skinny jeans" so why bother going? If that's your rationale, you are not alone. People spend years getting unhealthy yet they want instant gratification. What most don't realize is losing weight and getting healthy requires four phases: exercise, proper diet, nutrition and a good night's sleep. One without the other is like trying to drive a car without four wheels!
- Same old boring routine! "Variety" is the spice of life. Without it we get into the same old rut. In order to remain focused, it has to be fun. Things have to change. People need something different to look forward to.
I have personally put together a SYSTEM for you that addresses all phases needed to achieve optimal health and ideal weight, but makes getting there FUN!
- What if you had three renowned leading experts in Exercise, Diet and Nutrition guiding you on staying the course and achieving your New Year's resolution?
- And what if you had a way to get "fit in a flash" with just 7 minutes of exercise, easy tips on eating right and natural products to help you sleep better, provide nutrients, eat less and cheat less?
- What if you could see real changes in your health and achieve your ideal weight within only 90 days?
Three coaches guiding you every month to stay the course
DENISE AUSTIN- Exercise: "America's Favorite Fitness Expert" gives you a head to toe fat burning program that takes just 7 minutes! This includes core, cardio, upper body, lower body and abs.

She makes it so easy, anyone can lose weight and keep it off.
DAVID FRIEDMAN-Proper Nutrition: No matter how great your diet, it's virtually impossible to get the balance of all the nutrients your body requires on a daily basis.

I understand what you want to do. It might be a little bit of overkill, but I can understand the appeal of easy troubleshooting.
Initial setup
- First use one of these
and connect the input to 12 volts fused line (I would use about a 50 amp fuse and holder) from a small battery home alarm battery, or motorcycle battery). This will give you six 12 volt fused lines.
- Run a wire from each output terminal on the fuse panel up to a toggle switch, so you can turn the power on and off. Now you have 6 lines of fused, switched 12 volts.
-Then install a 8 line terminal strip like this
and use a short wire to connect six of the terminals to the lines coming from each toggle switch.
- Skip one terminal (leave it open), and use the last one to run a ground wire to the battery ground.
Now you have a terminal strip with a set of six fused and switched outputs, and a ground point. Use that terminal strip to connect wires running to each type of trailer connector you want to simulate. You can connect any combination of trailer connectors, and use the toggle switches to put voltage on any of the lines. You could mount the trailer connectors on the side of the test box, or just leave them with short pigtails that run out of the test box.
I would not worry about measuring amperage and voltage unless you think its a problem. You could put an amp gauge inline with any of the lines between toggle switch and the terminal strip, but they would be full-flow amp gauges. I don't think its worth the trouble. You could put one 12 volt meter between the two battery terminals and measure the overall voltage. If you need to see the voltage to any specific output, just measure between the ground on the terminal strip and the output terminal.

Southern Six-Pack
It's Double Decker Festival weekend here in Oxford, Mississippi which means enjoying a six-pack will stand as breakfast for some. For those of you a year or two (decades) past your twenties, it's okay to sip slowly. And, in the evening.
1. Wendell Berry is enjoying a pretty good week. Last Monday, he gave the 41st Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities where he was introduced by fellow Kick-ass Kentuckian, Bobbie Ann Mason. And, this week The New York Times sent Berry a love letter. Mark Bittman, who penned that letter for the paper's on-line Opinionator column, held back a little bit of affection for himself. In what may win the prize for Best Humblebrag not Found on Twitter, Bittman shares that he spent "hours" with Berry (an experience many thinking folks covet) and that he asked a question so profound Berry had to call him after the interview to pay proper homage to the question (pretty much the wet dream of every journalist). Nicely done, Bittman. Nicely done.
2. The Man Who Mistook His Girlfriend for a Hog. Flowers and candy aren't going to fix this.
3. But an oyster loaf might. Which is why, San Francisco, even if you did invent the oyster loaf, it's not yours anymore. You didn't take care of it. You didn't do enough with it. It's happier in New Orleans. It belongs there.
4. According to an incredibly depressing study conducted by North Carolina State PhD candidate, Sarah Rusche, and published in The Journal of Black Studies, restaurant racism is alive and well. How depressing? Only 10.5% of the 200 restaurant workers surveyed, reported never engaging in or observing racialized discourse.
5. Can't afford to travel this summer? Stay home and eat bacon. Seriously, as much as you want. Trust us, you can afford it.
6. Check out The Illusion of Choice. But be warned. It's addictive. And disheartening. Deciding between a six-pack of Slim Fast or a pint of Ben and Jerry's? Unilever doesn't care. They get paid either way. Ever ponder which food giant is represented by the most old white men? Pepsico, of course. They claim the Quaker Oats Man, Colonel Sanders, and Captain Crunch as totems.
And a chaser... This really doesn't have anything to do with food. But it does have to do with an age old Southern admonishment: "Act right!" This is the one where drunken sailors explain how to act right to the United States Secret Service.

June Course to Bridge Foodways Scholarship and Public Policy, Examining Social Inequality in Mississippi
The Southern Foodways Alliance will collaborate with the University of Mississippi Department of Public Policy Leadership (PPL) to offer a June 2012 course entitled "Bringing Food to the People: Food Policy and Social Inequities in Mississippi." The course will be led by Dr. Jill Cooley, Postdoctoral Fellow and Visiting Assistant Professor at the SFA, and and Dr. Jody Holland, Visiting Assistant Professor of PPL.
The University of Mississippi is a leader in the development of foodways studies as a scholarly discipline, and the UM Public Policy Leadership program is well-known for producing highly-effective communicators well-versed in policy-making from the local to the global. "With teachers from two complementary departments and a compelling syllabus, the class will, we think, prove a great primer on the interdisciplinary approaches that can be applied to the field," says John T. Edge, Director of the Southern Foodways Alliance.
Dr. Cooley notes that interdisciplinary, team-taught courses provide a unique opportunity for students—"from these different perspectives of history and policy, we will consider how the nation's food policy developed historically and how public policy continues to influence American diets."
The course will include seminar and practicum components. Cooley and Holland have posed the question of how government policies have shaped the socio-economic and political realities of North Mississippi. Studies of the intersection of race, class, and gender in twentieth-century southern history will provide context for understanding historic and contemporary federal policy efforts to ameliorate hunger and poverty.
For the practicum component of the course, students will examine area farmers' markets to gauge the effectiveness of current efforts to revitalize the area by making local, fresh, healthy foods accessible to economically-disadvantaged populations. Holland notes that "The U. S. Department of Agriculture estimates between 30,000 and 50,000 farmers currently sell at farmers' markets. This number represents a growth spurt in farmers' markets, which emphasize small and mid-scale farming operations. This course will explore the impacts and policy due to emerging local food economy."
The course listing is at the graduate level, SST/PPL 598, but advanced undergraduates are encouraged to enroll. UM will offer the course during the First Summer Term, starting June 1 and ending June 27, with final exams following on June 28-29. Thanks to funding from the Chisolm Foundation, the CSSC and the SFA will offer additional foodways classes in the fall of 2012 and the spring of 2013. To enroll in SST/PPL 598, students should visit the website of the Office of the Registrar for more information.
* * *
In fall 2011, the SFA received funding from the Chisholm Foundation to fund the post-doctoral position until 2014, guaranteeing more new class options for students.

Southern Food Writing Conference, May 17 & 18
The Inaugural Southern Food Writing Conference takes place in Knoxville, Tennessee on May 17 & 18, 2012, as nearly 20 Southern food-writing icons come together to discuss what makes our food and culture worth writing about.
Register at SouthernFoodWriting.com to hear from friends like New Orleans Times-Picayune's Brett Anderson, Southern Food author & journalist John Egerton, best-selling Southern cookbook authors Nathalie Dupree, Cynthia Graubart, Fred Sauceman, Elizabeth Sims, Barbara Swell, Sheri Castle, FoodBlogSouth co-founders Jason Horn and Shaun Chavis, and so many more.
And because no Southern get-together is complete without good food and perhaps a cocktail, your registration entitles you to a spot at the dinner table at legendary Blackberry Farm in nearby Walland, TN.

Southern Six-Pack
1. American Bandstand premiered in 1957 when my mother (who turned 70 this year) was a junior in high school. To ring in 2012, my 6th grade and 8th grade sons watched ABC's Rockin' New Year's Eve. In between, Dick Clark went from being hip to old to ironically hip again. Comparing rock 'n roll to Mexican food Clark said, "Start them out with the mild stuff first and once they get a taste for it they'll jump in for the really hot stuff, the authentic stuff." We like that analogy. We'll miss you Dick Clark. For a lot of reasons.
2. Robbie Robertson might have written The Weight about the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania but when Levon Helm sang that song, what you heard was Turkey Scratch, Arkansas. Helm lived a celebrated life in an industry not known for longevity or integrity. He managed to have both. And a whole lot more.
3. While we're knee deep in eulogies, the Louisiana Seafood Industry would like it known that the reports of the death and safety of gulf seafood have been greatly exaggerated!
4. Alabama has a golden opportunity to fix its hateful regressive immigration law. Don't drop the ball, Alabama. Whoops. Too soon?
5. Want to reclaim urban food deserts? Take to the streets. Green Carts might be the most innovative element in the food desert shelterbelt.
6. Ever wonder what a 22 year old box of cereal might taste like? Curiosity won't kill you but it will leave a nasty plastic after-taste.

Thank You, Nashville, for A Great Stir the Pot!
Nashville turned it out for the first-ever Stir the Pot event outside of Raleigh. Tandy Wilson of City House and Tyler Brown of the Capitol Grille invited the original pot-stirrer, Ashley Christiansen of Poole's Diner, to be the guest chef. Sunday night, the crowd enjoyed a wonderful supper at City House from Ashley. On Monday night, the Nashville community arrived to Yazoo Brewery, covered dishes in hand, for the Stir the Pot Potluck. Plates were piled high with greens, foot cheese sandwiches, and homemade mac and cheese; glasses overflowed with Yazoo beer; and ears were filled with the rockin' sounds of Roman Candle.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the SFA!
The next Stir the Pot event will be held back in Raleigh, May 27-28. Check the Stir the Pot website for more information.

Southern Six-Pack
Across the South, the promise of spring football is as high as the pollen count. What goes great with football? A six-pack of course. Arkansas, I'm guessing you may need something a little stronger. Help yourself.
1. Celebrate today, the 103rd anniversary of Eudora Welty's birth, with potato salad. Ms. Welty would approve.
2. We're a month away from the 50th anniversary of the very first restaurant review Mississippi native, Craig Claiborne wrote for the New York Times. Claiborne didn't just change the way America eats, he changed the way we think about food. Get this golden anniversary party started with Georgeanna Milam Chapman's master's thesis on Claiborne. Then go crazy and pre-order a copy of Thomas McNamee's Claiborne biography. And, if you're serious about this celebration then you might as well whip up a batch of chicken spaghetti.
3. Things to do while in New Orleans: go to Cafe du Monde for a beignet, stop at Mahony's for a po-boy, or sip a Sazerac at the Napoleon House. Things to avoid: Subway and Mardi Gras Zone.
4. Check out Louisiana's House Concurrent Resolution Number 41 which designates Scott, Louisiana as the Boudin Capitol of the World. It's your move, Mowata.
5. Our friends at Gilt Taste got some well deserved love from the IACP for their Eat Shoots and Leaves series.
6. Nearly one year after a tornado destroyed their building, Earp's Seafood in Raleigh, North Carolina is once again open for business.
In Kentucky, our common table is a basketball court. On April 2, 2012 the Kentucky Wildcats brought their 8th NCAA National Championship Trophy home to Lexington. This week UK Coach John Calipari took that trophy on a bus tour of the state. In Hazard, this man came out to meet the coach, view the trophy, and show off his "special for basketball season" prosthetic leg. I love my state!

New Exhibit in Birmingham, AL, Explores Impact of Greek Immigrants on City's Culture and Cuisine
Images via Vulcan Park and Museum
Last week, Vulcan Park and Museum in Birmingham, Alabama, opened a new exhibit, Beyond Barbecue and Baklava: The Impact of Greek Immigrants on Birmingham's Culture and Cuisine.
SFA oral histories from our Birmingham Greeks project are referenced throughout the exhibit.
From the Vulcan website:
Birmingham's Greek community has shaped the city for over a hundred years. Greek immigrants and their descendants have contributed to a range of endeavors, from law to medicine to education, but it is perhaps their impact on the city's vibrant restaurant scene that is most celebrated.
The first in Vulcan Park and Museum's series of exhibitions on local cultural groups, Beyond Barbecue and Baklava: The Impact of Greek Immigrants on Birmingham's Culture and Cuisine explores how Greek immigrants have transformed the way people live – and eat – in the Magic City.Beyond Barbecue and Baklava is on view through August 3, 2012.

Bring on Brunch
Picture courtesy of The Communal Skillet
Our friends at The Communal Skillet are lucky enough to have chickens popping out eggs faster than they can eat (this time of year at least). Perfect opportunity to flip to the index of the Southern Foodways Alliance Community Cookbook to find egg recipes. This week, they find an eggy, cheesy, gooey dish, the ideal beginnings of a weekend brunch.
And in case you haven't checked, the SFA Community Cookbook also has five different recipes for biscuits. Get your bloody mary ready, it's brunch time.
Now, to procure some pet chickens...

Then put me on ignore if you have an issue. It wasn't just one loss Juggy it was the whole weekend 18 goals given up over 3 games and they didn't look good in any of the games. If they go out and get 2 out of 3 which is a must I will give them credit but the bigger issue is they can't have a week like they just had. I am just of the opinion top prospects(americans) won't be pounding down the door to play in Windsor when the team isn't good. Right now over the past 2 years Windsor is in the class of Erie, Kingston and Peterborough.

Hi folks!
We've been hard at work and finally completed our flow for the 'Arena' game mode of Grand Strategy: Space War "Mercenaries" game!
The content is still placeholder, and all of the assets need to be replaced, but it should give you a decent look at what we're trying to achieve with Mercenaries.
The gameplay is some kind of blend between Solar Winds and Raptor: Call of the Shadows.
There's still a long way to go, but we've also come a long way with this!
'Till next time,

Those heads will work fine if you open the runners up, raise the roof of the port as much as possible for the entire length of the runner, narrow the port divider to 1/8" and work in from there being careful not to cut into the headbolt hole, leave the port floor alone except for blending to short turn into the bowl, match your intake to the new roof height and divider width. Unshroud those valves out to the bore line not gasket line. Blend your lower cut below the seat into the bowl. They'll work fine and probably end up at a 170ish intake port volume. The set I did the chambers CC'd at exactly 64 after the deshrouding and a .030 mill. I did spend a ridiculous 30+ hours on the ports though
. If you do the port work make some go/no go guages out of heavy wire so you can check dimensions as you cut- this way the ports will be more equal when done.
The 750 VS carbs do seem to have a really rich idle circuit and with your cam the overlap isn't helping much. I bet if you open up the secondary throttle blades just a tad with the setscrew adjustment in the baseplate and readjust your air/fuel mixture screws the richness will drop quite a bit. If this problem is related to rpms below 2500rpms I'd say it's more than likely an idle circuit problem. Make sure your idle mixture is on before making jet changes. JMO's Bob

After watching his NSW team fall agonisingly short of ending Queensland's Origin reign, Blues coach Laurie Daley admitted: ''It's going to be a long 12 months''.
Daley declared himself proud of the efforts of all 17 players but he conuldn't hide his disappointment after the Blues blew a golden opportunity to record their first series win since 2005.
While he was sticking by the players, Daley said it was too early to guarantee any of them their positions next season, including under-seige halfback Mitchell Pearce.
''I couldn't be more prouder of this team,'' Daley said. ''To turn up against a champion side like that and given a performance like that makes me a very proud coach. Our effort was fantastic but when you are playing against this team you have to be clinical and when the big moment arrives you need to have your execution at its best.
''We just weren't good enough but at the end of the day it is still another loss, and it hurts. That is the frustrating thing.
''It's going to be a long 12 months but I don't want to dissect the game because I couldn't be more prouder of the team. I will support them because they have supported me and they were outstanding with their effort. I couldn't knock any of them.''
Asked about Pearce, who had said before the game he expected this to be his last Origin if the Blues lost, Daley said he could not say who would be in the team next year.
''I thought Mitch tried hard, and that is a big question to ask straight after a game because it is 12 months away,'' he said.
''I am a supporter of his, I always have been and always will be. When things go wrong he is the guy who always tends to cop it but I couldn't be more prouder of the 17 guys who played.
''I think we all hate losing, it is disappointing losing but Queensland are a great team. That what we've got to strive for. We got ourselves in position but we just couldn't finish. The last pass wasn't sticking.
''We still had belief right to the end. We created plenty of chances, there was a fingernail between one try but we didn't finish.''
Blues captain Robbie Farah said the 12-10 loss was heartbreaking, particularly after losing last year's decider by one point.
''When you work so hard for something and you fall short, it's heartbreaking,'' he said. ''We weren't clinical enough against this side you have to take your chances. Some passes didn't stick. We had our chances but we just weren't clinicial enough.''
His Queensland opposite, man of the series Cameron Smith, paid tribute to the NSW side.
''The Blues did really well,'' he said. ''They are a great side and kept coming, but we talked about when they scored that last try, this is what this state is built on, this is what this team is built on - responding to these situations. ''

CRT Debug Heap Details
This topic provides a detailed look at the CRT debug heap.
Two of the most common and intractable problems that programmers encounter are overwriting the end of an allocated buffer and memory leaks (failing to free allocations after they are no longer needed). The debug heap provides powerful tools to solve memory allocation problems of this kind.
The Debug versions of the heap functions call the standard or base versions used in Release builds. When you request a memory block, the debug heap manager allocates from the base heap a slightly larger block of memory than requested and returns a pointer to your portion of that block. For example, suppose your application contains the call: malloc( 10 ). In a Release build, malloc would call the base heap allocation routine requesting an allocation of 10 bytes. In a Debug build, however, malloc would call _malloc_dbg, which would then call the base heap allocation routine requesting an allocation of 10 bytes plus approximately 36 bytes of additional memory. All the resulting memory blocks in the debug heap are connected in a single linked list, ordered according to when they were allocated.
The additional memory allocated by the debug heap routines is used for bookkeeping information, for pointers that link debug memory blocks together, and for small buffers on either side of your data to catch overwrites of the allocated region.
Currently, the block header structure used to store the debug heap's bookkeeping information is declared as follows in the DBGINT.H header file:
typedef struct _CrtMemBlockHeader { // Pointer to the block allocated just before this one: struct _CrtMemBlockHeader *pBlockHeaderNext; // Pointer to the block allocated just after this one: struct _CrtMemBlockHeader *pBlockHeaderPrev; char *szFileName; // File name int nLine; // Line number size_t nDataSize; // Size of user block int nBlockUse; // Type of block long lRequest; // Allocation number // Buffer just before (lower than) the user's memory: unsigned char gap[nNoMansLandSize]; } _CrtMemBlockHeader; /* In an actual memory block in the debug heap, * this structure is followed by: * unsigned char data[nDataSize]; * unsigned char anotherGap[nNoMansLandSize]; */
The NoMansLand buffers on either side of the user data area of the block are currently 4 bytes in size, and are filled with a known byte value used by the debug heap routines to verify that the limits of the user's memory block have not been overwritten. The debug heap also fills new memory blocks with a known value. If you elect to keep freed blocks in the heap's linked list as explained below, these freed blocks are also filled with a known value. Currently, the actual byte values used are as follows:
Every memory block in the debug heap is assigned to one of five allocation types. These types are tracked and reported differently for purposes of leak detection and state reporting. You can specify a block's type by allocating it using a direct call to one of the debug heap allocation functions such as _malloc_dbg. The five types of memory blocks in the debug heap (set in the nBlockUse member of the _CrtMemBlockHeader structure) are as follows:
To determine the type and subtype of a given block, use the function _CrtReportBlockType and the macros _BLOCK_TYPE and _BLOCK_SUBTYPE. The macros are defined (in crtdbg.h), as follows:
#define _BLOCK_TYPE(block) (block & 0xFFFF) #define _BLOCK_SUBTYPE(block) (block >> 16 & 0xFFFF)
All calls to heap functions such as malloc, free, calloc, realloc, new, and delete resolve to debug versions of those functions that operate in the debug heap. When you free a memory block, the debug heap automatically checks the integrity of the buffers on either side of your allocated area and issues an error report if overwriting has occurred.
To use the debug heap
Link the debug build of your application with a debug version of the C run-time library.
To change one or more _crtDbgFlag bit fields and create a new state for the flag
Call _CrtSetDbgFlag with the newFlag parameter set to _CRTDBG_REPORT_FLAG (to obtain the current _crtDbgFlag state) and store the returned value in a temporary variable.
Turn on any bits by OR-ing (bitwise | symbol) the temporary variable with the corresponding bitmasks (represented in the application code by manifest constants).
Turn off the other bits by AND-ing (bitwise & symbol) the variable with a NOT (bitwise ~ symbol) of the appropriate bitmasks.
Call _CrtSetDbgFlag with the newFlag parameter set to the value stored in the temporary variable to create the new state for _crtDbgFlag.
For example, the following lines of code turn on automatic leak detection and turn off checking for blocks of type _CRT_BLOCK:
// Get current flag int tmpFlag = _CrtSetDbgFlag( _CRTDBG_REPORT_FLAG ); // Turn on leak-checking bit. tmpFlag |= _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF; // Turn off CRT block checking bit. tmpFlag &= ~_CRTDBG_CHECK_CRT_DF; // Set flag to the new value. _CrtSetDbgFlag( tmpFlag );
The debug versions of the C run-time library contain debug versions of the C++ new and delete operators. If you use the _CLIENT_BLOCK allocation type, you must call the debug version of the new operator directly or create macros that replace the new operator in debug mode, as shown in the following example:
/* MyDbgNew.h Defines global operator new to allocate from client blocks */ #ifdef _DEBUG #define DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK new( _CLIENT_BLOCK, __FILE__, __LINE__) #else #define DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK #endif // _DEBUG /* MyApp.cpp Use a default workspace for a Console Application to * build a Debug version of this code */ #include "crtdbg.h" #include "mydbgnew.h" #ifdef _DEBUG #define new DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK #endif int main( ) { char *p1; p1 = new char[40]; _CrtMemDumpAllObjectsSince( NULL ); }
The Debug version of the delete operator works with all block types and requires no changes in your program when you compile a Release version.
To capture a summary snapshot of the state of the heap at a given time, use the _CrtMemState structure defined in CRTDBG.H:
typedef struct _CrtMemState { // Pointer to the most recently allocated block: struct _CrtMemBlockHeader * pBlockHeader; // A counter for each of the 5 types of block: size_t lCounts[_MAX_BLOCKS]; // Total bytes allocated in each block type: size_t lSizes[_MAX_BLOCKS]; // The most bytes allocated at a time up to now: size_t lHighWaterCount; // The total bytes allocated at present: size_t lTotalCount; } _CrtMemState;
This structure saves a pointer to the first (most recently allocated) block in the debug heap's linked list. Then, in two arrays, it records how many of each type of memory block (_NORMAL_BLOCK, _CLIENT_BLOCK, _FREE_BLOCK, and so on) are in the list and the number of bytes allocated in each type of block. Finally, it records the highest number of bytes allocated in the heap as a whole up to that point, and the number of bytes currently allocated.
Other CRT Reporting Functions
The following functions report the state and contents of the heap, and use the information to help detect memory leaks and other problems.
Saves a snapshot of the heap in a _CrtMemState structure supplied by the application.
Compares two memory state structures, saves the difference between them in a third state structure, and returns TRUE if the two states are different.
Dumps a given _CrtMemState structure. The structure may contain a snapshot of the state of the debug heap at a given moment or the difference between two snapshots.
Dumps information about all objects allocated since a given snapshot was taken of the heap or from the start of execution. Every time it dumps a _CLIENT_BLOCK block, it calls a hook function supplied by the application, if one has been installed using _CrtSetDumpClient.
Determines whether any memory leaks occurred since the start of program execution and, if so, dumps all allocated objects. Every time _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks dumps a _CLIENT_BLOCK block, it calls a hook function supplied by the application, if one has been installed using _CrtSetDumpClient.
Although pinpointing the source file name and line number at which an assert or reporting macro executes is often very useful in locating the cause of a problem, the same is not as likely to be true of heap allocation functions. While macros can be inserted at many appropriate points in an application's logic tree, an allocation is often buried in a special routine that is called from many different places at many different times. The question is usually not what line of code made a bad allocation, but rather which one of the thousands of allocations made by that line of code was bad and why.
Unique Allocation Request Numbers and _crtBreakAlloc
The simplest way to identify the specific heap allocation call that went bad is to take advantage of the unique allocation request number associated with each block in the debug heap. When information about a block is reported by one of the dump functions, this allocation request number is enclosed in braces (for example, "{36}").
Once you know the allocation request number of an improperly allocated block, you can pass this number to _CrtSetBreakAlloc to create a breakpoint. Execution will break just before allocating the block, and you can backtrack to determine what routine was responsible for the bad call. To avoid recompiling, you can accomplish the same thing in the debugger by setting _crtBreakAlloc to the allocation request number you are interested in.
Creating Debug Versions of Your Allocation Routines
A somewhat more complicated approach is to create Debug versions of your own allocation routines, comparable to the _dbg versions of the heap allocation functions. You can then pass source file and line number arguments through to the underlying heap allocation routines, and you will immediately be able to see where a bad allocation originated.
For example, suppose your application contains a commonly used routine similar to the following:
int addNewRecord(struct RecStruct * prevRecord, int recType, int recAccess) { // ...code omitted through actual allocation... if ((newRec = malloc(recSize)) == NULL) // ... rest of routine omitted too ... }
In a header file, you could add code such as the following:
#ifdef _DEBUG #define addNewRecord(p, t, a) \ addNewRecord(p, t, a, __FILE__, __LINE__) #endif
Next, you could change the allocation in your record-creation routine as follows:
int addNewRecord(struct RecStruct *prevRecord, int recType, int recAccess #ifdef _DEBUG , const char *srcFile, int srcLine #endif ) { /* ... code omitted through actual allocation ... */ if ((newRec = _malloc_dbg(recSize, _NORMAL_BLOCK, srcFile, scrLine)) == NULL) /* ... rest of routine omitted too ... */ }
Now the source file name and line number where addNewRecord was called will be stored in each resulting block allocated in the debug heap and will be reported when that block is examined.

Same-sex marriage constitutional amendment fails in committee (updated)
A piece of legislation that would allow voters to decide whether or not to add a constitutional amendment supporting same-sex marriage was tabled in the House Voters and Elections Committee, despite support from the most powerful member of the House.
Speaker Ken Martinez, D-Grants, voted for the joint resolution and told the crowd that he believed that gay marriage was already legally allowed under the state constitution.
It wasn't enough, as the committee voted 7-4 to table the amendment.
All members of the Republican Party in the committee voted against passing the joint resolution onto the floor. They were joined by Reps. Mary Helen Garcia, D-Las Cruces, and Debbie Rodella, D-Española.
There was an hour of impassioned speech from both supporters and opponents; much of it echoed the thoughts in the previous hearing on the legislation or on a joint resolution that would have done the exact opposite — asked voters to put language in the state constitution saying same-sex marriage was illegal.
If Egolf's joint resolution had passed both the House and Senate, it would have went to the voters to decide whether or not to add it to the state constitution.
Not even all supporters of same-sex marriage agreed fully with Egolf's push.
We applaud Rep Egolf's support of marriage, but we did not agree that a fundamental freedom should be up for a popular vote. #nmleg
— All Families Matter(@AFMNM) February 21, 2013
The tabling of the bill means it is dead for this year, but similar proposals will likely come in future sessions.
Democratic Party of New Mexico chairman Javier Gonzales issued a statement on the bill's failure.
"I share in the sadness and disappointment of many New Mexicans today who firmly believe our gay and lesbian New Mexicans were denied an opportunity to seek full and un-restricted marriage rights for themselves and their families. Despite hearing passionate testimony from many witnesses, bill sponsors, committee members and especially House Speaker Kenny Martinez, HJR3 was tabled on a 7 to 4 vote."
"The Democratic Party of New Mexico has long advocated for full marriage equality in New Mexico and will remain steadfast in our belief as we move forward and we fervently hope our elected officials recognize the struggle for equality is at a cross-roads in America and New Mexico has chosen the wrong path.
"HJR3 was about respect and recognition of same-sex couples."

As far as I'm concerned, a Democrat who opposes equal rights for all is not a Democrat at all. I don't care how Catholic or 'socially conservative' you are. As a DPNM State Central Committee member, I encourage primary challenges to Reps. Rodela and Garcia. I will donate!!
