Leaving a bequest to Greenpeace is a positive and effective way of leaving a legacy of a healthy, peaceful planet for future generations. If you would like to receive information on how you can leave a gift to Greenpeace International in your will, please contact Tamar Matalon at
Log in regularly to the Cyberactivist section of our website to participate in Greenpeace online campaign activities. You'll also receive a free newsletter via email with plenty of options for helping win environmental campaigns with Greenpeace.
Add something to the sig file on your email with a campaign message and a link to a cyberaction. If you make your message really interesting or funny or provocative and change it regularly, people will read it and follow the link. This way, every time you send an email to a friend, you ask somebody else to join in an action.
Make your own newsletter -- ask your friends to sign up and create a distribution list. Send them all or part of the Cyberactivist newsletter and add on other environmental actions from other websites.
Do you have a website of your own? Put a Greenpeace banner up. See a site where you think a Greenpeace banner belongs? Ask the webmaster to post one, and send him or her the link to our banner's page.
Visit relevant Facebook and chat rooms and ask people if they've taken action yet. Talk up the issues and get others informed and involved -- send them links to e-cards, petitions, and other on-line actions.
Keep your community space home page here at the cyber centre updated with action resources or links to local issues so other cyberactivists can help with things happening in your own town.
Got a local issue that needs attention? Create your own cyberaction and ask the cyberactivists here to help. There's some great information about how to create a campaign at CampaignStrategy.org and Greenpeace Australia's guide to community activism.
Know something about computers? Help a friend make the Cybercentre or other Greenpeace page the home page on their browser, so they get Greenpeace news every time their browser starts up.
Download a screen saver by looking here and install it on your computer. If you have access rights, install one on the computers at your school, work, or library to remind others of environmental issues. Make the home pages there point to a Greenpeace issue you care about as well.
You'll also find tips for everyday actions you can take for a "greener" lifestyle here at our Greenpeace Canada site. Oh, and don't forget the power you have every time you buy something. Every time you purchase a product, you vote for that product. Are you voting for products which are friendly to the Earth? Are your friends?

Greenpeace opposes all releases of genetically Engineered organisms into the environment. Such organisms are being released without adequate scientific understanding of their impact on the environment and human health.
This genetic pollution is a major threat because genetically engineered organisms cannot be recalled once released into the environment. Governments are attempting to address this threat by international regulations such as the Bio safety Protocol.
Because of commercial interests, the public is being denied the right to know about genetically engineered ingredients in the food chain, and the right to avoid them. Greenpeace advocates immediate interim measures such as labelling of genetically engineered ingredients, and the segregation of genetically engineered crops from conventional ones.
While scientific progress on molecular biology has a great potential to increase our understanding of nature and provide new medical tools,it is no justification to turn the environment into a genetic experiment. Biological diversity must be protected and respected as the global heritage of humankind, and one of our world's fundamental keys to survival.
Greenpeace also opposes all patents on plants, animals and humans,as well as patents on their genes. Life is not an industrial commodity.When we force lifeforms and our world's food supply to conform to human economic models rather than their natural ones, we do so at our own peril.
You can read an introduction to the issue of genetic engineering and an explanation of some of the risks in our genetic engineering area.
Nuclear power creates poisonous waste, fuels the nuclear arms race, and threatens the health and well being of communities thousands of miles away.
It's also not a solution to greenhouse warming. Creating nuclear fuel is a hugely energy-intensive task. When you sum up the CO2 emitted by the mining, milling, processing, and transport of nuclear fuels,there's no significant savings on carbon output. This was why the framers of the Kyoto protocol rejected efforts by the nuclear power industry to allow carbon credits for nuclear power. You'll still see this fallacy trumpeted in advertising by the nuclear industry, but you won't find a reputable climate scientist who is convinced by the ads. (British Nuclear Fuels spends more on advertising than Greenpeace's entire annual budget, by the way!)
You can read about all the reasons Greenpeace opposes nuclear power at our nuclear campaign section.
Or learn more about clean energy at our climate website
Greenpeace is concerned about protecting the greatest reservoirs of terrestrial biodiversity -- the last remaining ancient forests. We don't have any opposition to responsible, sustainable forestry practices outside those areas. Read more about our policies on forest protection in our forests section.
We are all part of the environment and what we do to the environment, we do to ourselves. Take a look at these "tips for greener living"
We get many requests at Greenpeace for help with general school reports about pollution and other environmental issues. We wish we could help each of you individually, but we try to keep focused on the tasks that people donate to Greenpeace for: to win campaigns for the environment. Don't forget that you can search through all the information at the Greenpeace site.
In all but a few exceptional cases, Greenpeace works on a global scale and does not address individual pollution sites one by one. Greenpeace has limited resources and so chooses to focus on major threats to ecosystems and species -- we simply don't have the ability to address destruction at all levels. For local issues, we have to count on people like you who care and are willing to fight for what you believe. We can send you our support and best wishes, and advice on creating your own campaign.
We can encourage you to seek help and advice from our community of cyberactivists many of whom fight local battles against polluters in communities like yours.
You can also search through the Greenpeace archive for information about the particular issue you're trying to solve.
Good luck: there's No Time to Waste.
You can read all about whale species and the threats to them at the whales pages.
Whales are mammals, just like human beings. You can read more at our whales pages.
Whale strandings often end sadly because of well-intentioned but uninformed help. Flippers can be easily damaged by trying to move a whale back into the water. Whales can suffocate if their blow holes are obstructed. A whale on dry land's biggest danger is overheating: keep them cool and wet but DON'T obstruct the breathing through their blowhole. Get a qualified marine biologist to the scene as soon as possible. Call your nearest University or the Coast Guard for help.
Greenpeace does not run a stranded whale rescue programme. We apply our limited resources to stopping the greatest threats to all whales: commercial whaling and the thinly disguised pirate whaling by the Japanese and Norwegian fleets.
We wish we could help with every whale stranding, every case in which whales are in trouble anywhere in the world, but of course with our tiny fleet of four ships and little more than a thousand staff all over the world, we have to leave that job too their groups and other experts in local communities. Our role is to save the most whales we can by challenging the whalers on the high seas with our ships, to call the world's attention to the continued senseless killing, and to pressure the world's governments to create Whale Sanctuaries and better protection mechanisms through international law. Please visit our oceans web site to learn what else you can do.
Greenpeace doesn't address animal rights issues at a local level. We campaign for habitat protection and to stop the greatest threats to the natural world. You can contact the largest animal rights organisation in the world, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
We don't. We can't. This is precisely one of the dangers of releasing Genetically engineered plants in the wild. In some countries, there are restrictions on how closely genetically engineered crops have been allowed to be planted to normal crops, but there's no conclusive proof that these measures are effective. On the contrary, there's growing evidence that you simply can't segregate crops in the wild.
Cross-breeding isn't the only threat to organic food presented by genetically engineered plants. A strain of corn has been created by Monsanto which produces its own pesticide.Unfortunately, the pesticide it produces is one of the only organic deterrents to insect infestations, and one commonly used by organic farmers. But as with antibiotics, the more prevalent a toxin the more likely organisms are to build up a resistance, and Bt Maize, as it's known, is likely to end the effectiveness of one of the few natural pesticides available to organic farmers.
There's an old joke around the organisation that in any bar in Vancouver, Canada, you can find at least one person who claims to have founded Greenpeace.
In truth, many talented folks contributed to the creation of Greenpeace. Bill Darnell coined the name when someone flashed him a peace sign and he said "let's make that a green peace!" Bob Hunter created the concept of the "Media Mind Bomb" -reaching the public consciousness through dramatic, camera-ready opposition to environmental crimes. Jim Bohlen, Paul Cote, and Irving Stowe were the founders of the "Don't Make a Wave Committee," which organised the first Greenpeace action: a voyage to Amchitka Island in the Aleutians to try to stop a nuclear weapons test. David Mc. Taggart convinced a half dozen loosely connected early groups to put aside their differences and join in a single worldwide organisation, creating Greenpeace International in 1979. Our main website contains lots more information about the founders of Greenpeace and our history and victories.
In 1971, motivated by their vision of a green and peaceful world, a small team of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada, in an old fishing boat.
The founders of Greenpeace believed a few individuals could make a difference. Their mission was to "bear witness" to the USA's underground nuclear testing at Amchitka in one of the world's most earthquake-prone regions.
A tiny island off the West Coast of Alaska, Amchitka was the last refuge for 3000 endangered sea otters, and home to bald eagles,peregrine falcons and other wildlife.
Even though their old boat, the Phyllis Cormack, was intercepted before she got to Amchitka, the journey sparked a flurry of public interest. The US still detonated their bomb, but the voice of reason had been heard.
Nuclear testing on Amchitka ended that same year, and the island was later declared a bird sanctuary.
Today, Greenpeace is a global organisation that gives priority to campaigns that can be addressed on a global scale. Based in Amsterdam,Greenpeace has 2.8 million supporters worldwide, and national / regional offices in 41 countries.
If you want to read more, there are several good books about Greenpeace: "The Warriors of the Rainbow" byRobert Hunter, "Journey into the Bomb" by David Mc.Taggart, and "The Greenpeace Story" by John May and Michael Brown. They can often be found at used book and auction sites such as Ebay , Amazon and Powells.
Greenpeace is an independent,campaigning organisation which uses non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and to force the solutions which are essential to a green and peaceful future. Greenpeace's goal is to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity.
As of January, 2009, 2.9 million had taken out or renewed their financial membership within the last 18 months. Our financial supporters are the people who keep our ships on the oceans and our campaigners in the field. Millions of people around the world who take action with us every day as online activists or local groups, or as volunteers.
The Greenpeace organisation consists of Greenpeace International (Stichting Greenpeace Council) in Amsterdam and Greenpeace offices around the world. Greenpeace currently has a presence in 41 countries. Greenpeace national or regional offices are licensed to use the name Greenpeace. Each office is governed by a board which appoints a representative (called a trustee).
Trustees meet once a year to agree on the long-term strategy of the organisation, to make necessary changes to governance structure, to set a ceiling on spending for Greenpeace International's budget and to elect the International Board of four members and a chairperson.
Greenpeace International monitors the organisational development of Greenpeace offices, oversees the development and maintenance of our fleet of ships, coordinates planning and implementation of our global campaigns, and monitors compliance with core policies.
The International Board approves the annual budget of Greenpeace International and its audited accounts. It also appoints and supervises the International Executive Director who, together with senior managers, and consulting widely with national office staff, leads the organisation.
Greenpeace does not solicit or accept funding from governments,corporations or political parties. Greenpeace neither seeks nor accepts donations which could compromise its independence, aims, objectives or integrity. Greenpeace relies on the voluntary donations of individual supporters, and on grant support from foundations.
Greenpeace is committed to the principles of non-violence, political independence and internationalism. In exposing threats to the environment and in working to find solutions, Greenpeace has no permanent allies or enemies.
To find out more about our Board and how Greenpeace makes decisions, visit our " How is Greenpeace Structured" page.
To maintain absolute independence Greenpeace does not accept money from companies, governments or political parties. We're serious about that,and we screen for and actually send checks back when they're drawn on a corporate account. We depend on the donations of our supporters to carry on our non violent campaigns to protect the environment.
Our books are audited every year, in every office around the world, and we publish our Annual Report on the web every year so you can see exactly how much money we're given and how it gets spent.
Bob Hunter, one of the founders of Greenpeace, tells a story in his book,Warriors of the Rainbow, about how this legend crossed his path.
On the first voyage of a Greenpeace ship, the Phyllis Cormack, Bob had taken on board a small book of Indian myths and legends that contained some striking prophesies. The book itself had been given himby an old wandering native American who had told him the book would"change his life" -- something which prompted a bit of cynicism in the Canadian journalist, who tossed the book into a box and forgot about it. But he stocked the Phyllis Cormack with reading material for the voyage, and one stormy evening he said the book literally jumped off the shelf into his hands, and he read it.
A chapter that particularly inspired Hunter related a story an old Cree Indian woman, 'Eyes of Fire' told to her great grandson. Just as they were being overthrown, The Cree Indian people foresaw a time when the white man's materialistic ways would strip the earth of its resources, but just before it was too late the Great Spirit of the Indians would return to resurrect the braves and teach the white man reverence for the earth. They would become known as the Warriors of the Rainbow.
The story circulated in Greenpeace for many years, and in 1978 our first ship, a rusting North Sea Trawler named the "Sir William Hardy" was rechristened "Rainbow Warrior."
As of January,2007, 2.9 million had taken out or renewed their financial membership within the last 18 months. Our financial supporters are the people who keep our ships on the oceans and our campaigners in the field. Millions of people around the world who take action with us every day as online activists or local groups, or as volunteers.
There's a full list of countries where we have offices at our Worldwide Offices page. If there's no office in your country, you can write to
It is just not possible for Greenpeace to have an office everywhere. We receive many requests every day to open offices all over the world.Like any other organisation Greenpeace has to work within a budget and we have to make choices about what we do. Our campaign work is targeted against the greatest threats to the global environment.
You can help us in many ways even if there's no office in your country. Visit Get Involved! page to learn more about what you can do every day to help Greenpeace win campaigns for the environment.
Opening a new office, or appointing a representative in a country in which we do not have an office, is an organisation-wide decision which has to be agreed upon by our International Board and approved by our international Annual General Meeting. Greenpeace does not adopt,incorporate or otherwise subsume existing organisations into its structure. Like every organisation, we have to work within our budget,and due to limited financial and human resources, we have to be selective in our decisions as to where to open new offices. Development or expansion is also subject to certain essential campaign criteria. We will only open a new office if this is in line with the strategic priorities of the organisation. Greenpeace has recently established an office in Africa. We are not planning to open any further new offices in the near future.
The name "Greenpeace" is an internationally registered trademark belonging to Stichting Greenpeace Council in the Netherlands, and therefore use of the name requires permission. Once a decision has been taken to open a new office, Greenpeace International enters into a licensing agreement with the new office, allowing that office to use the name Greenpeace. Use of this name is conditional upon fulfilling a whole range of obligations towards the international organisation.
We hope that you will not find this discouraging, and that you and/or your organisation will continue in its aims to explore environmental issues further. You can help Greenpeace in many ways - by volunteering your time or services to an existing Greenpeace office, or by getting involved as an online activist. You'd be surprised how much help we can use, even when an office isn't nearby.

What You Are Missing by Sticking with SQL Server 2005: Data Architects Version
On 12 April 2011 it was Yuri's Night — the night we space fans celebrate Yuri Gagarin's 1961 history-setting flight into space. In 2011 we were celebrating 50 years of manned spaceflight. On that same day in 2011, we reached the end of support for SQL Server 2005 SP4. On 12 April 2016 we will reach the end of extended support for SQL Server 2005. That means no more hotfixes, no help from Microsoft and no love for your data still living in SQL 2005 databases.
I'm hoping your organization is already on its way to upgrading and migrating data and applications to newer versions of SQL Server. SQL Server 2016 is already being used in production by early access customers. No matter which version you will be migrating to, I want to share with you some of the features and perks you'll have available to you now that you are moving away from a dead version. Of course there are hundreds of enhancements that have happened since 2005, but today I'm focusing on those that a data architect would want to use in a database design for enhanced performance, security and data quality.
Columnstore Indexes
If you are designing for data warehouse type solutions, this is the closest thing we have for a "turbo switch" for SQL Server. Columnstore Indexes achieve high compression rates since they store columns together instead of storing rows together. They also support much faster query performance for batch and aggregation queries. They typically achieve 10x performance increases, sometimes even more. This feature was introduced in SQL Server 2012, but you'll want the advances to this feature that came with SQL Server 2014.
SEQUENCEs have been around in other DBMSs for a while, but were introduced in SQL Server 2012. These special objects work much like IDENTITY columns, but offer more flexibility and use cases. The main feature is that you can grab a sequence (or a bunch of them) before you insert a row. Many developers use GUIDs for similar reasons, but GUIDs are much longer and therefore had performance downsides. SEQUENCEs are integer types.
New Data Types
So many new data types have been introduced since SQL Server 2005, but the ones that really stand out for me are DATE, TIME, DATETIMEOFFSET, the geospatial types, and the deprecation of timestamp.
It wasn't until SQL Server 2008 that we had access to data types that comprised only the DATE or TIME portion of a point in time. So we had to do all kinds of conversions just to strip out unwanted data (00:00:00). We also had to make room to store that unwanted precision. Storing millions of rows of unneeded zeros hurts performance, both operationally and for backup and recovery.
SQL Server 2008 also introduced DATETIMEOFFSET, which allows us to track data in context of its time zone. If you remember the days when meeting invites did not include this important piece of information, you'll know why this is important.
The spatial data types GEOGRAPHY and GEOMETRY and have added a new and feature-rich way of tracking places, their geometry plus special features that make it much easier to answer questions like "which is the closest" or "is this address located in this neighbourhood". If your data story includes location points, you'll want to use these.
SQL Server was always an oddball when it came to the data type TIMESTAMP. In other DBMSs, this data type was one that included date and time, to a very large precision. In SQL Server, TIMESTAMP is a type of row version identifier that has nothing to do with TIME. So data architects migrating from other DBMSs were often bitten when they used the wrong data type. Microsoft announced in 2008 that it was depreciating TIMESTAMP and recommending the use of ROWVERSION, which is similar (but not the same) in functionality.
SQL Server 2016 currently includes support of Always Encrypted, a feature that does just that: it support the encryption of data from application to database and back, so that it is better protected than solutions that encrypt data once it is written to the database. I'm always reminding you that keeping your CIO out of jail is part of your job description, right?
Data Archiving
As our data gets bigger and bigger, the size of our databases is growing as well. That means that performance takes a hit. Developers want us to take shortcuts on data quality to improve performance because size matters. One of the ways to help manage data volumes is to move "cold" data to other storage locations. Starting in SQL Server 2016, we can stretch a database to Azure, which means that data that isn't accessed as often can be stored in the cloud and retrieved when needed. This allows our hot data to be local and fast, while the cooler data is more economical to store and still there and your application doesn't even have to manage this difference.
JSON Support
In SQL Server 2016 we are getting support for JSON processing. This isn't the same as a JSON data type like we have with XML, but a set of import and export features for providing relational data as JSON documents and brining JSON data into SQL Server. Now you won't have to manage all those curly brackets on your own.
One Last Thing…
As vendors withdraw support for their products, third party tool makers do so as well. If you are supporting older, out of support versions of databases, it's likely that your data modeling, data quality and data integration tools are also dropping support for these solutions. You'll be left supporting database systems without vendor support and without professional enterprise class modeling and design tools. I know how hard it is to keep track of databases that my tools can't connect with. Don't let sticking with an old version be the end of data modeling support for that data.
If you like geeking out about space and data types, you might want to check out my 1 April 2014 post on a new data type.
Show Your Data Some Love
These are just a tiny number of the types of features that will be available to you when you upgrade to modern versions of SQL Server. The advent of security, data quality and performance features are leaving your old solutions behind, putting your data at risk and leaving your customer data feeling unloved. There's a data space race going on. Don't live your company using old technology to manage data. Go fix that!

Based on extensive time working with the Consumer Preview of Office 2013 and Office 365 using both a laptop and a PC running Windows 7, here's our Office 2013 preview.
Office 2013, Office 365 on a laptop and a desktop PC
I spent most of my time with Word and Excel on a laptop and on a desktop all-in-one equipped with a touchscreen. As expected, Microsoft is tying Office 2013 and Office 365 tightly to its SkyDrive cloud storage service.
You're free to use other services, but I suspect that this integration will lure plenty of Office users away from their paid accounts on Google, Dropbox, and SugarSync. If you buy a version of Microsoft's new software and sign up for a Microsoft Live account, you'll get 20GB of free storage in SkyDrive.
Both Office 2013 and Office 365 offer largely the same user experience, but Microsoft is clearly steering its customers toward the cloud-based version. The company is also marketing Office 365 to consumers for the first time, rather than strictly to businesses.
Purchase the traditional boxed copy of the software, and you get a licence to install the software on one device. You can also use Office 365 on any computer or tablet, but that won't be very useful if you find yourself somewhere without your usual computer and without internet access.
Buy a subscription to Office 365, and you get licences to download and install Office 2013 on up to five devices (right now, the list of compatible devices is limited to PCs and tablets running Windows 7 or Windows 8, though Microsoft says Office 2013 for Mac will be available by the time the final software is released).
And, as with the boxed copy, you can stream Office 2013 to any PC or tablet running Windows 7 or Windows 8. Microsoft has not yet announced pricing for either product.
New user interface
The Office 2013 user interface isn't markedly different from the one in Office 2010: The ribbon remains front and centre, though the text and the icons inside it are a bit larger and are spaced farther apart. These changes take better advantage of large monitors and touchscreen displays. Nevertheless, the ribbon isn't too big for an average laptop display, even with the addition of two new tabs: Design and Developer (actually, the Developer tab is present in Office 2010, but it's hidden by default).
Though I've used a number of all-in-one computers with touchscreens over the past few years, I don't use the touch interface very often. Perhaps I'm just a creature of habit, but it doesn't feel natural to take my fingers off the mouse to stab them at icons on the screen (or maybe my fingers are just too fat to be accurate). In any event, though I tried hard to use the ribbon with my finger, I kept returning to the mouse. The UI delivers more benefits on tablet platforms, but it doesn't feel any less natural when used with a mouse.
New Word features
Microsoft has made a number of cool, interesting, and very useful improvements to Word 2013. On the usefulness front, you can now import a PDF directly into Word, edit it as a Word doc, and then save it as either a Word doc or a PDF. Not only do imported files retain all of the original documents' formatting - including headers, columns, and footnotes - but elements such as tables and graphics can be edited in Word as such.
Import a PDF file containing a table, for example, and you can edit the table just as though you had created it in Word from scratch. You can also embed a PDF file in a Word doc.
Another cool feature is the ability to connect to online resources and bring them inside your documents. For example, you can use Bing to search the web for videos, without leaving Word, and then embed the HTML code for that video in your document.
Link your SkyDrive account to your Flickr account, and you can jump to your online photo collection and embed photos directly in the document - again, without ever leaving Word.
Embedding a screenshot from an app running on your PC is even easier: Click Insert > Screenshot, and a window with thumbnails of every window open on your desktop will become visible. Click the image you want, and it will appear wherever your cursor is.
When you embed an image or a video in a document, you can grab that element and move it around the document and watch as your text automatically reflows around it in real time.
Word collaboration features
When you're collaborating with other people on a document, being able to track the changes that each person makes is critical. This becomes much easier to do in Word 2013, thanks to a new feature called simple markup view.
A red vertical line in the left margin indicates that changes have been made to the document, while a word balloon in the right margin indicates the presence of a comment. Click on the vertical line to reveal both the edit changes and the comments; click on the word balloon to show just the comments.
Microsoft has also added a new viewing mode, called Reader. When you view a document in this mode, each paragraph has a small triangle in front of it. Click the triangle after you've finished reading its associated paragraph, and the paragraph will collapse so that more text will appear, without your having to scroll to another page.
I haven't had time to explore every new feature of Word 2013, but I like what I've seen so far. It looks as though Microsoft has significantly improved the application, adding some great new features without mucking anything else up in the process. Nevertheless, my opinion at this stage is based on very limited time with the product.

This photo shows a puncture wound from a BB gun in left upper arm. Note the small hole in the arm where the BB struck and entered the skin.
You can remove splinters, larger slivers, and thorns with a needle and tweezers. Check the tweezers beforehand to be certain the ends (pickups) meet exactly. (If they do not, bend them.) Sterilize the tools with rubbing alcohol or a flame.
Clean the skin surrounding the sliver briefly with rubbing alcohol before trying to remove it. Be careful not to push the splinter in deeper. If you don't have rubbing alcohol, use soap and water, but don't soak the area if FB is wood (Reason: can cause swelling of the splinter).

Actor Zac Efron was beaten up in Los Angeles in the early hours of Monday morning, according to a report.
The "High School Musical" star and his bodyguard allegedly got into a fight with at least three other men after their car ran out of fuel in a rough area of Los Angeles, according to TMZ.com.
The website reports police officers broke up the brawl, which is said to have been started after Efron threw a glass bottle out of his car window while waiting for a tow truck.
The actor was allegedly punched in the mouth during the fracas, but the website reports no arrests were made as the officers considered it a case of "mutual combat."
Efron has yet to comment on the alleged incident.

A white border is aesthetically more presentable and can act in place of a white mount when you frame the image. It's a much cleaner look than adding a cardboard mount around the image.
* There are exceptions for how generous I make the white mount. If an image has an exceptional amount of white space already surrounding it for example, Equine 44 and Clay Pot both have lots of white space already surrounding the image. In these cases the additional white border will not be as generous. This is to keep it aesthetically balanced.

pillowcase - News
posted by cngimenez, Thu 08 Nov 2012 05:41:14 PM UTC - 0 replies
In order to process the HTTP requests/responses, I needed some predicates for processing Strings. So I made the "pc_text_processing" module.
Using this modules gives you various common clauses to manipulate texts.
If you find mistakes, or want to collaborate fixing some problems, join this project!

Pillow files works as a CGI scripts!
You can use Ciao Prolog libraries for making HTML dynamic pages. Pillow libraries is perfect for doing this job... and now works with Pillowcase!
URL that finish with ".pl" are pillow files... it executes automatically and send the results to the client! :)
You'll need a writable HTML/PL home directory(configure it in pc_config.pl file!).
Happy Coding! :)

In the latest development, you can request a page and you get it! :)
Still is very simple HTTP(don't ask for tooooooo much yet :P)...
Start the server loading the module pillowcase and use dance_pillowcase predicate!
Here is an example using ciaosh application:
?- use_module(pillowcase).
?- dance_pillowcase.
You can use any web browser and see [http//localhost:8080].
Happy coding!

Prolog is fast! :)
PillowCase is almost working!
Use start_server predicate to see it working. :) You can test it with telnet or a web browser.
Remember to configure the server editing the pc_config.pl file.

Yeah got 'em from EE, a month later than I thought I would.
Did anyone ANYWHERE need a 501st Clone? Maybe for a Bossk in trade? I didn't collect the line, but wanted Bossk... The 501st Clones and IG-88's showed up here in droves and got dumped for good prices. I'd like to trade, but if someone needed it, it's yours for cost + shipping.

CLICK BACK TO CHECK THE MIDWEEK COMIC THIS ONE IS THE BONUS COMIC TO. If you missed the first part of this short arc
click here.
This is one of those comics that carries on after the punchline of the previous one. I didn't include it in the original because we have a 6 panel limit (unless Giga feels like doing himself and Box more work) but we did it anyway to establish that we're not going to milk the Abbot and Costello routine dry with running gags.
20th Jul 2012, 11:05 PM
There will be avatars of that second panel. Just wait.
21st Jul 2012, 12:38 AM
Hell that second and the last fifth would be all over the comic if I could figure out how to embed images.

Notice the recent series of events corresponding to the materialization of rigid GOP/Right Wing principles forming before our very eyes.
Our expanding American frontier continues to regain an ominous theme of expressing proud imperialistic heritage that has been overstimulating the airwaves.
An ever present phenomenon that seems to artfully and collectively broadcast a message of both American glorification and the mockery of foreign beliefs.
A crystal is starting to form into its final stage, a crystal forged with the blood of the fallen, from the sweat of our labor; the glorious U.S.A., our United States of Arrest.
With an eye on the media, witness the slow formation of their most insidious deeds as this agenda has begun to crystallize and take form into wretched brilliance.

Found a unique, rare used truck on the internet at Columbine Ford. Brystal responded to.our inquiry on a Sunday, we drove 900 miles and purchased the truck today. Professional all the way - truck was exactly as presented on the web. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Would buy from them again !
Brystel and the dealership was amazing dealing with me as a first time buyer. They not only took care of me as a customer, but as a friend.
Came from NM to purchase a used truck. Glad I did. A good price, good trade in offer, and great service over a week long process
Brystal was a amazing, she knew exactly what I was looking for and called me right away for my truck. She was receptive to all my requests and made the deal flow so smooth and painless. Wonderful experience and highly recommend her and Columbine Ford over any other Ford dealer in the valley. They truly to care about the customer!!!!!
No pressure, easy transaction and got exactly what we were looking for. Brystal was very helpful and worked to find what we wanted. Traded out trucks and we're on the road in no time. Thanks Columbine!
So happy with our experience with everyone we came in contact with! Not one person was "pushy" and they were all very helpful and friendly!
We broke down in front of the dealership on our family road trip, and the team at Columbine came to our rescue, They went WAY out of their way to accommodate us and get us back on the road with a new vehicle. We were very fortunate to have Brystal Caldwell as our Sales Consultant. She took care of all of the details and made sure we had everything we needed to finish our trip and make it home safely. She was absolutely a lifesaver!!! Thank you Brystal!!! The Walther family
The staff helped in every way they could. Brystal recommended the car I bought. Stan and Tina worked hard to get the pricing where I could afford it. Never felt pressured or persuaded. Loved that!
I have purchased 5 vehicles from Columbine. All of the purchases were painless and the vehicles were excellent. Brystal is great to work with, and tries her best to make the deal work.
Freindly staff. Willing to make the best deal possible. Keeping good contact an fitting you for the best situation on a new or used car
I have over 20 vehicles between work fleet and personal. The shopping experience I experienced at Columbine Ford was fantastic. I felt ZERO pressure, simply normal knowledgeable people providing a non pressure sales/customer service. I will be purchasing my next vehicle with Brystal at Columbine Ford!
Truck was ready and clean for us to test drive. Service was good and professional. Calls were returned and knowledge of the vehicle was good. Visit was quick and painless.
I was recommend by a friend who just had a good experience at Columbine ford and it was recommended I speak with Brandun about a truck. Brandun and Brystal helped me find the truck I wanted, and were extremely accommodating and helpful. They worked with me on the price of my trade in, and they went out of their way multiple times to get me the truck I wanted. They even came to my work and delivered my the truck because of my work schedule. It was the easiest and most pleasant car buying experience I have ever had. Thank you both. I will be back.
Thanks to Brystal and Tina I landed a sweet deal on a great vehicle. It was a very quick and easy process, in which they helped with any questions I had! Thanks again!!
Brystal came in on her day off and stayed until we got our new Ford Fusion. She had all the paperwork ready and on hand and the process was so quick. We were in and out within no time and nothing to stress about with Brystal. Thank you!
we were told about a vehicle that they had bought on auction. sounded nice so we came in and looked at it. We were told a price and then got the listed price and they honored what they had told me. Things like that go a long way with me I will recommend and use them for future purchases. They were able to get me financed as well.
I fell this Dealership went beyond what most dealers would do to make sure that even a used vehicle they were selling be road ready and safe to drive when leaving there location!!
We purchased 3 trucks in total and were only in the dealership for a bit getting paperwork completed. Brystal was knowledgeable and didn't waste our time with pitches we didn't want.
Everyone super friendly! The process was quick and everyone eager to help me! I originally was recommended to see Josh but He was unavailable when I came in. Brystal was the first to greet me and I couldnt have asked for a better person. She was super friendly and didn't talk me out of what I wanted.
I am very happy with my new purchase. I got an amazing deal and amazing service at Columbine ford. Highly recommend in purchasing a vehicle there.
These Ladies helped me with my very procrastinating self to get a very good reliable vehicle! They worked in my very tight limits and found a brand new vehicle to suite my needs. Definitely would go back to them and get another reliable vehicle when the time comes...
We love Columbine mostly because of the wonderful customer service you receive there... whether you are there to purchase a vehicle or have your car serviced, each department is there to help.
Our whole deal went easy, fast and smooth! Couldn't have been easier! Thank you for getting us in and out so fast! So Appreciated!
We came from out of state to see a used car, and they were very honest and willing to help us out. Brystal was very nice to us, and she answered all of our questions. A very pleasant experience, we would do business with them again.
I purchased a used Ford diesel pickup truck from Columbine Ford. I live in Arizona, I didn't get to see the truck until I flew in to town. This was my first time buying a truck out of state. Brystal took care of everything about the sale, she even picked me up at the local airport. Thanks so much. Tim
From the salesman all the way up to the management team, couldnt be more thankful for all the help they provided in getting me into my new(used) pickup.
Brystal was great very knowledgeable on all of the vehicles we inquired about, very friendly and personable. Would highly suggest anyone looking for a new vehicle go see Brystal at Columbine Ford.
Had a good experience overall. They were friendly and attentive. They did clean the car but I could smell cigarette smoke could have done a better job of dealing with the smell. I would make sure I find out all that comes with the purchase of the vehicle before signing anything. Know what you want ahead of time. Price compare so you know value of the vehicle your interested in buying. Take your time don't get a big hurry. These are some of the mistakes I made.
We test drove a few cars. Our sales person was friendly, helpful and didn't pressure us! We ended up buying a gmc elsewhere but if this dealership ever sold GMC we'd buy from her!
Very easy to work with . 2 and vehicle bought here in the last year. No pressure sales and sales people answer questions quickly. Thanks Brystal
Brystal and Tina were so helpful and getting me into the right car for me and most importantly the right price for me. They worked hard to get me a good deal and were over the top cooperative when I wasnt always the easiest customer to work with.
The staff was easy to work with, curteous. They were very knowledgeable. Gave me a fair deal. I appreciate them working with me. It was a good experience
Great team at Columbine Ford. Brystal, Josh and Brandun all went out of their way to help us. I would definitely recommend their sales team.
I will recommend Columbine Ford. Bristal Hazelbush to my Real Estate Clients. Seems like Columbine sells a lot of Trucks. Great place to buy. Thank you
Robi was great! Everything was very easy. Would recommend to all my friends and family. Jake was grwat in finance. And the old cowboy was great and very friendly and a lot of help.
I clicked on an on line add and received a phone call within a short period of time. I explained what vehicle I wanted to Jake and my price range. Within hours he found what I was looking for! Brystal completed the sale for me and was knowledgeable and helpful.
They helped me very much, helped me figure out exactly what I was doing. Checked with multiple banks and helped get me set up with everything! Loved it!

Sales associates and finance departments were very kind and knowledgeable. Great prices with a trusted hometown touch. Been looking for our truck for a while and they had the best vehicle for the price. It was nice working with Brystal, being a women I preferred her patient not pushy approach.
Brystal was on point as soon as we showed up she greeted us with a smile. Showed us what we wanted to see and answered all questions with a straight forward answer if she didn't have the answer found it out quickly. Overall great experience and friendly.
The people were a pleasure to work with and was absolutely no pressure to do anything. Everyone from the sales associate to the finance department was awesome and would recommend buying a vehicle from them.
Brystal was very professional and knowledgeable. The whole team was great to work with. I would highly recommend them. Was very pleased with everyone involved with the sale.
Was along way from home NC on hunting trip, Truck not doing well towing so needing to trade befor trip back. Brystal help us fine the truck we needed, we would recommend her highly. Brystal and the dealership help make our trip much better and the trip home was Much better than trip out thanks to the 2016 F-350 6.7 We bought from them.
No pressure sale. To the point with the numbers. A pleasure working with Brystal who put forth the effort to find us extra discounts. It was aslo a pleasure to work with Tina who took care of the financial side. Will gladly do business here again.
Have bought 2 vehicles from Columbine Ford. They are so helpful and give a good trade in price on the vehicles we have traded in. I always look for Brystal Hazelbush when I go there. She has done such a great job. They all treat you like a long time friend. The best place to purchase a vehicle.
Our experience from the moment we walked in and drove off in our new truck was awesome. We were treated with kindness and respect. All of our questions were answered and any questions after leaving were encouraged from all at Columbine. Such an amazing team making a customer feel valued.
Colimbine worked hard to help me when I was stuck between a rock and a hard place couldnt of asked for more. Will recommend to my friends
It was great to be able to come down on a holiday and get a car bought within a few hours. Brystle was super informative and helpful during the sale. Korey Cranor and Josh Bowen also assisted us in answering questions!
Things went ok. Took a few hours for fianance to be ready, but other than that everything went fair. Large selection. Friendly people. Would recomend them.
It took some time but eventually found a truck that fit my needs. Beautiful truck excited to go pull something. Glad to spend my money locally.
The staff was great to deal with. They took our vehicle for a pre buy inspection with an external mechanic at our request and supplied some old records for the vehicle. The negotiation was a bit awkward and they seemed annoyed when we negotiated on price, but I suppose that's part of the business.
This dealership doesn't just have an amazing sales team. Every department is truly a pleasure to work with from sales to financing and service for you vehicles. I'll never buy a car from anyone else. Brystal is awesome to work with! I highly recommend her.
We had been shopping for a new vehicle for weeks. Been to other dealers on the Western Slope, but when we looked online at Columbine Ford we saw the vehicle we wanted. Contracted Brystal and test drove two vehicles. Brystal's knowledge of both vehicles helped us make our decision easier. The Sales Manager Brandun really helped us with final decisions. Our overall experience was fantastic and would buy another vehicle at Columbine Ford.
Awesome dealership to work with. Had a couple questions about my truck after I bought it came back in answered all my questions. Reccomend everyone to go to Columbine Ford
I drove 5hrs to this dealership because they had the used truck I wanted. When I got there my sales associate was awesome, friendly, super helpful and worked hard to meet my needs. The financial department was kind and worked diligently to get me the best financial package, lowered my interest rates from initial financed rates and made me feel like I was working with friends. Thank you Brystal and Tina for helping my family!!
This dealership is very good. Its has consistently been really good for us in the past with company vehicles to personal. Over all the people that work there are amazing. Great sense of humor and always out to give you the best deal. I was looking at a couple vehicles here and they were constantly bringing up options that were the best fit for me. I ended up with the 2018 ford focus sel and the vehicle does not disappoint. The salesman definitely hooked me up with the best vehicle price and quality wise. I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking for quality customer service and for the best deal you could possibly get. You will not be disappointed at this dealership.
A very knowledgeable service department. A friendly and experience sales staff has made a very good experience in the purchase of our new Ford truck. Thanks Columbine Ford.

Awesome does not even begin to describe our car buying experience with Columbine Ford. Brystal was amazing...the customer service she provided was above and beyond any expectation. Brandun was so super! He has that caring spirit about him. I knew it from his handshake. Tina Bowlan was exceptional as well. We had a truly amazing team working with us. Super friendly...just plain SUPER!

Brystal did a great job for us in our search for a new truck! The customer service we received from beginning to end was very good, from all.
Bristol was excellent in our buying of this truck. I would give her 4 out of 5 stars. Very helpful and enjoyable to work with. Josh was pretty good too.
They are by far the best car dealer to deal with. No hassle, and great deals! Customer service is above and beyond! I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Columbine Ford!!!!

Brystal was awesome!!!!!!!!!! great deal, great place, would buy another car in a minute. overall great experience. lived up to their deal, no surprises. good place.
We came in unexpectedly. We had two vehicles to trade in and needed something asap as we were moving in a few days. Brystal snagged us when we walked in as she was in the middle of multiple other projects she still had time to work with us. She found us a truck in our price range and exactly what we wanted/needed and more. She even took the time to sit with us and figure out all the bells and whistles. Would highly recommend her to anyone.
