Just Visiting
- Directed by Jean-Marie Poir?
===Story=== Actors Jean Reno and Christian Clavier, along with director Jean-Marie Poiré, were the creative team behind ''The Visitors'', a French comedy from the early 1990s that was a massive hit in its native land and a cult favorite in America. Enthusiastically compared by some to ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'', ''The Visitors'' concerns a time-traveling, medieval knight and his lowly servant, both lost in the 20th century and both shocked by the discovery of their descendants' reversal of fortunes. The film works not only as a nutty bit of slapstick, but as a cheeky satire about class conflict. ''The Visitors'' deserves its admirers, but it doesn't deserve ''Just Visiting'', an oddly inappropriate remake featuring the same cast and director, all of whom are undercut by an annoyingly sentimental spin on the original story. This time, Reno and Clavier inexplicably end up in a modern-day U.S. instead of France, and the lure of freedom for Clavier's downtrodden character is tied up not in economics but in his attachment to a fetching neighbor. Blame cowriter John Hughes (''Home Alone'') for turning something that was once sharp into something dull and sticky. With Christina Applegate, Malcolm McDowell.

From Birdhouse to Guest Retreat
As the years passed, and pigeons were no longer raised, the pigeonnier turned into a very pretty storage shed. When Angèle Parlange, a fabric/fashion designer and author of Creole Thrift, returned to her family home, she decided she needed her own space.
Angèle's brother helped in the renovation by replacing the beat-up brick floors on the lower level with hardwood. He also designed the custom ladder which lifts one from the sitting room to the second floor bedroom. Angèle decorated with goods and textiles from her worldly travels and tons of pink, as she believes one should always "use feminine colors in excess."
BONUS PIC: The cozy second floor bedroom still retains the earthy brick floors and the built-in bookshelves previously held pigeon nests. We're excited to announce the winners of Small Cool 2008 at tonight's wrap party and we love this example because it shows just how small you can go (minus a bath and kitchen) and how very cool it can be.

Anxious music education experts have been telling us for years that music is science, with its acoustics and frequencies. Music is math, with its fractions and subdivisions of notes and rhythms. Music is foreign language, with its Italian, French and German terms as well as its own unique form of shorthand. Music is history, in that it often reflects the culture, time and place of its creation. Music is physical education, in that playing an instrument and singing require tremendous coordination between the mind and body.
However, music is also … music. It has an inherent value all its own. We don't need to justify the study of music by its positive effects on other disciplines.
My math scores weren't on my mind as a child when I asked to take piano lessons with Miss Vincent, a blind, octogenarian piano teacher who lived down the street in a big, old house that needed painting. Neither did they occur to my mother, who scrimped and saved each week working long hours in a smoky bar to come up with the $3 required to pay for those lessons. All I knew was that I wanted to play Rachmaninoff like Liberace did on television. All she knew was that she wanted to give me that chance.
Why was an American boy in 1972 so moved by Rachmaninoff's Piano Prelude in C-sharp Minor? Who knows? But it began my lifelong love affair with music and my future career as a music educator, composer and classical music broadcaster.
When I was in college during the 1980s, my fraternity, Sigma Alpha Mu, hosted some legendary parties at Syracuse University. I can still hear the music of Michael Jackson, Duran Duran and Laura Branigan blaring from the house's speakers. Thirty years later, I've forgotten most of the people I met at those parties, but I'm sure none of us has forgotten those songs or how they made us feel at that time in our lives when we were all in full bloom, our whole lives ahead of us.
Even the youngest children make emotional connections to music. When our toddler son was upset, he would often find comfort in a favorite stuffed animal – the one that played Mozart's "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." Before too long, that sweet melody would lull him into contentment. He's almost 8 now and claims he's too old for stuffed animals, but "Special Bear" still seems to have a place in his room and, I believe, in his heart.
I'll let the experts focus on the secondary benefits of music. They are important, and in some cases may help justify school music programs. I prefer, however, to focus on music's primary benefits – the beauty it brings to our human existence, the feelings it allows us to express, the memories it jogs and the joy, comfort and otherworldliness it provides.
Music unites and excites us. It inspires and comforts us. It helps us see beauty, feel compassion and express feelings. It brings back memories, gives us hope for the future and even hope for eternity.
Still, no matter how hard I try, I can't quite put into words the importance of music in my life and, I believe, in all of our lives. They say that music picks up where words leave off. I guess it's time for me to break into song.

For the Quebec Liberals, history is repeating itself when it comes to the Parti Québécois' approach to attaining sovereignty.
At a news conference today, several Liberal candidates drew parallels between the current election campaign and the one in 1994, which was won by the PQ under Jacques Parizeau.
He proceeded to hold his sovereignty referendum a year later, which the federalist side won by the slimmest of margins.
Liberals point to similarities in pre-referendum Quebec in the '90's and today: Massive government spending, electoral fraud allegations, studies on sovereignty, new language laws and more.
Economist and candidate Carlos Leitao said that if the PQ doesn't quit the sovereignty talk, they'll scare off business, and ruin Quebec's chances of profiting from America's economic recovery.
"Keeping things unclear and uncertain only adds to the uncertainty about the economy, about private investment, " Leitao says, "and Quebec is at a very crucial period in our economic recovery plan."

Update: Dallas District Judge to Rule Early Tomorrow Morning on Temporary Restraining Order in Liverpool FC Sale
I'm at the George Allen this very moment, where attorneys representing New England Sports Ventures and Kop Holdings (which is to say, Tom Hicks) are squaring off over who owns Liverpool FC. In light of the UK judge's ruling this morning, which basically tossed yesterday's temporary restraining order, the attorneys (and assorted media) have gathered to see what the judge will decide, since Hicks owes the Royal Bank of Scotland close to $500 million dollars by tomorrow.
Right now, Judge Jim Jordan is leaning toward a 7 a.m. hearing Friday to decide whether or not he will lift yesterday's TRO. Court is scheduled to reconvene shortly. Updates forthcoming.
Update at 2:20 p.m.: Jordan has ordered all parties back in his courtroom at 7 a.m. tomorrow for an hour-long hearing, at which point he will decide whether or not to lift the TRO. Quotes forthcoming.
Update at 2:39 p.m.: Before Jordan dismissed the parties till tomorrow morning, first thing, attorney Stephen Fox, repping Hicks and Kop Holdings, told the judge that "our folks are aggressively working out an arrangement with RBS to take care of the debt." Meaning: Hicks and George Gillett would pay the close to £500 million owed and then look for someone other than NESV to buy the team. Jordan said, "I hope those talks continue," but said he needs more time to consider the UK judge's ruling before making a decision concerning yesterday's temporary restraining order.

Steve Stodghill, repping Hicks and Gillett, told Unfair Park after the hearing that NESV and the Liverpool board have agreed to hold off on closing till tomorrow morning, around 8 a.m. Dallas time, when Jordan's expected to rule on the TRO. If Jordan lifts the TRO, sale's a done deal. But if Jordan doesn't, says Stodghill, "the ball's in the court of NESV, and they can decide if they want to attempt to close the transaction knowing they're in violation of the TRO. That's a decision they'll have to make."

Skip to comments.Barnicle Can't Bring Himself To Mention Byrd's Klan Past
Posted on 06/28/2010 5:12:47 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest
When Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond died, the MSM was quick to stress his segregationist past. The New York Times ran the headline "Strom Thurmond, Foe of Integration, Dies at 100," leaving readers to imagine the South Carolinian had remained an advocate of segregation. The very first line of USA Today's story described Thurmond as "the nation's most prominent segregationist."
Strange how the MSM can suddenly become reticent about mentioning someone's segregationist past when the late politician in question is a Democrat. On Morning Joe today, Mark Halperin and Mike Barnicle used elliptical language worthy of a State Department dispatch to avoid mentioning that Byrd had been a member and leader of the Ku Klux Klan. H/t NB reader Ray R.
View video here.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
Byrd a former Klansman? You wouldn't know it from Barnicle. Ping to Today show list.
Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd, Ex-Klansman
by Michelle Malkin (March 8, 2001)
Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.
The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes.
The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox News Sunday morning talk show host Tony Snow about the state of race relations in America. Sen. Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[4]
Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan. According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4] He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]
Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:
"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.[5]"
He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]
YouTube - Senator Robert Byrd says "white niggers" on TV:
From the Washington Post:
"Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels."..."
"during the general election campaign, Byrd's GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country. The letter was dated 1946 -- long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan. "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia," Byrd wrote, according to newspaper accounts of that period. Byrd makes no mention of the letter in his new book."
Will there be a klan hat on his headstone?
Byrd filibustered the civil rights bill....
The "New International Order" communists like Obama and many others on the left are the most dangerous threat today. They are allied with Russia, the ChiComs, Chavez, Castro bros...
From the Sino-Russian Joint Statement of April 23, 1997:
"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order."
"Joint war games are a logical outcome of the Sino-Russian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty signed in 2001, and reflect the shared worldview and growing economic ties between the two Eastern Hemisphere giants."
From the Russian News and Information Agency:
July 27, 2006
"'I am determined to expand relations with Russia,' Chavez, known as an outspoken critic of what he calls the United States' unilateralism, told the Russian leader, adding that his determination stemmed from their shared vision of the global order.":
We are creating a new world, a balanced world. A new world order, a multipolar world, Chavez told reporters during a visit to Communist China, one of many. His new world order includes [RUSSIA], China, Iran,... and a significantly weakened United States, he explained.
Resurgent Communism in Latin America
by Alex Newman, March 16, 2010:
That sort of "c'evil right" is 10 times worse.
The Byrd is dead, Jim.
We got bigger fish to fry!
One down , lot's more to go.
May old Sheets find that big burning cross in the sky.
New tagline:
It goes far beyond just Byrd — please see tagline ...
Maybe Barnicle's one of them "White N166ers."
"We have 'White N166ers,' if you want to use that word."
- Sen. Robert C. Byrd, WV
The KKK was actually a part of the Democratic Party. Klansmen targeted white Republicans as well as African Americans.
I know it is hard for you youngsters to believe, but there were a lot of good people that I knew when I was a kid who sincerely believed that black people were inferior to whites, and that they needed to be kept separate and apart from them. Sure, it was racism, pure and simple, but when you grew up with a whole culture that believed in it, it was oftentimes hard to rise above it. The defenders of the blacks were the exception, and not the rule.
It may surprise you even more to know that there are many people even today that believe that black people are inferior, and there are more than one or two on this board.
Evidently we want as much as we can get!
When a terrorist dies, we celebrate. I just don't see the difference.
Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP):
"We believe in a Black first philosophy and a Black Liberation Theology."
SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"
WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.
HANNITY: But I'm a reverend
WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?
"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".--James (Jim) Cone,
African American Religious Thought: An Anthology (Paperback)
by Cornel West (Editor), Eddie S. Glaude Jr. (Editor)
The gushiness over a dead terrorist is going to be interesting, I think.
Sad that a man has died but at least we get some government of the people back. I'm told that he hasn't done much in years leaving all of the work and decisions to staffers.
This seat is only valuable now to the D vs R number totals in the Senate. It will have no power of pork or important committee seats now.
I also remember Sen Byrd going on TV and attacking President Reagan. I don't remember the exact words but the constant attack on President Reagan by the Democrats was that he was unfair to minorities.
Neither are the DU`ers. It`s all crocodile tears with nary a mention of his being a Klanner. Thurmond was never a member of the Klan, yet when he passed away all libs could talk about was what a racist he was.
They are all Progressive Democrats. Some, like Rev Wright, Farrakhan and the New Black Panthers, played large roles in Obama's career and in the last election. The Democrat Party tries to create racial hatred and uses it to its advantage.

Re: Millions More Movement rally, Oct 15, 2005:
"Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.], we could say to our young people, What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?
We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

The news media will probably mythologize Byrd's past. He was, after all, a Democrat.
The news media will probably mythologize Byrd's past. He was, after all, a Democrat.
Even Fox managed to omit that fact. They said he started out poor, became a butcher ...then BAM!!!! He was elected to the house. No mention that the KKK gave him his start. Then again the Dear Reader's career was started in a terrorist's living room and they manage to omit that tidbit.
Democratic Senator Byrd also FILIBUSTERED the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Al Gore's dad also did his best to thwart the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Is it any wonder that the liberals in public schools have to rewrite history!
Too True. The only think I might add is that if any conservative professes an opinion against, say, gay marriage, they're labeled "homophobic" and they get no slack.
He was fired from the Boston Globe for fabrication, lying, theft.
Howie Carr called the reporters at the Globe, 'The bow tied Bum Kissers". So, you can guess what it took to get ersatz everyman Barnicle fired.
Maybe there should be a list somewhere where voters can find out who has been in racist groups such as this and other ones like La Raza so we can NOT vote for them.
I'll bet alot of people didnt know he was a member.
I seem to remember some evidence that Byrd, attended a lynching, although it couldn't be proved that he participated hands-on, what with everyone being hooded. Would like to have that citation in my records for sending to those who hail his spotless record...
This morning,even NPR radio called him a "champion of civil rights."
"Democratic Senator Byrd also FILIBUSTERED the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Al Gores dad also did his best to thwart the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Is it any wonder that the liberals in public schools have to rewrite history!"
So what. My own Senator at the time, Republican John Tower of Texas also filibustered the Bill as I would have. This travesty of a Bill was outright Socialism. Our other Senator, Liberal/Populist Ralph W. Yarborough not only didn't filibuster but actually voted for this POS and was promptly thrown out of office.
We cannot wait for the MSM to die. We need to push them over the edge.
Good grief! Is there no shame in this world!
You do know that the final draft of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was written by Republicans. That's the bill that exists today.
The ultimate politician: Whichever way the wind blew, that
was his position.
You do know that the final draft of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was written by Republicans. Thats the bill that exists today.
Just goes to show you that there's really not a lot of difference in 'em. Does having "Republicans" write the final draft of a bill make it somehow better than if Dims write it if the result is the same - Socialism?
At least Conservative Texas Republicans were not fooled by this crap.
Where is socialism in the civil rights act?
Go back and read it yourself. It tells private businesses who they have to do business with. It laid the groundwork for the government be able to tell you, as an individual, who to sell your house to (Which is still being used to destroy neighborhoods nationwide - for example, I could not safely live in the neighborhood I grew up in. We have basically been "ethnically cleansed.") as well as the beginning of "affirmative action" AKA anti White discrimination.
The "civil rights" act was only the beginning and certainly not the end all. They have been adding new laws and "regulations" all the time. There's no end to it. It's a Saul Alinsky thing. It's now quickly destroyng our country
as a place for decent people to live.
That's a stretch. And you haven't provided an example of socialism. At any rate, my original post was to clarify which party was invloved in which aspect. You're on a completely different tangent.

Reader beware: this post is part of the older "Objective-C era" on Cocoa with Love. I don't keep these articles up-to-date so the code may be broken or superceded by newer APIs. There's some good information but there's also some opinions I no longer endorse – keep a skeptical mind. Read "A new era for Cocoa with Love" for more.
Variable argument lists in Cocoa
This week I'll talk about methods that take variable numbers of arguments, also known as variadic methods. I'll show you the Objective-C syntax and implementation, give a quick rundown of the ways that Cocoa classes provide variable argument support and I'll also show you a way to fake va_list parameters to handle Cocoa's variadic method equivalents at runtime.
Variable arguments basics
Passing a variable number of arguments to a method is a convenient way to handle a list of variables that are in scope at compile time.
The Objective-C language handles variable arguments in the same way that Standard C does. Normally, you will encounter variable argument lists in one of two forms: "Format strings" or "Nil terminated lists".
Format strings
The traditional example for variable arguments are format strings. Format strings contain a number of "placeholders" (escape sequences starting with a "%" sign) that are replaced with data from variables when the format string and the variable arguments are passed to the method.
This method is declared as follows:
The "..." is the variable argument.
This method declares a first parameter but everything else is "variable". This does not mean optional. Instead, it means that a number of extra parameters will be required. Exactly what number and their types depends on how the method works.
The documented behavior for
stringWithFormat:, is that it scans the
format string and requires 1 variable argument for every escape sequence (in this case there are 3) and the type must match the specifier for each escape sequence (in this case, "d", "@" and "g" specify
id and
Nil terminated lists
The other common type of variable argument list method is one that takes a list of objects terminated by nil.
In Cocoa, these are commonly used for constructing collection objects.
The documented rule for this type of method is that the last argument must be
Getting argument numbers wrong
The details of "Format strings" and "Nil terminated lists" reveal the difficulty with variable argument lists in Objective-C: knowing how many arguments exist — i.e. when to stop reading arguments.
Objective-C, like C, does not have a runtime argument count, nor does it pass runtime argument types. So the number and types of arguments must be determined by some other policy. In the case of these two examples, the argument count is, respectively: the number of escape sequences in the "Format string" or the number of arguments before the first
nil. For "format strings" the types are determined by the escape sequences, for "Nil terminated" lists, the arguments are always pointers.
The penalty for getting variable argument list wrong can be severe: the compiler won't typically notice a problem and your code will crash or behave very strangely at runtime. The important lesson to learn is that you should only use variable arguments in a situation where the policy for numbers and types of arguments is very clear.
You can improve the compiler verification of variable argument lists by using the
-Wformat compiler flag in GCC. See below for more about how this works.
Implementing variable arguments for your own methods
Lets look at the implementation for the example class:
Imagine we wanted a method that would set the
contents string this class contains by concatenating a variable argument list of strings together.
In this case, we will use the
nil terminated approach — the list of strings to concatenate will end with a
nil, so we know when to stop reading.
The declaration for the method looks like this:
NS_REQUIRES_NIL_TERMINATION part is a macro that tells the compiler that invocations of this method must include a
nil-terminated list of arguments. Failure to
nil-terminate the list will result in a compiler warning if
-Wformat is enabled.
-Wformat is not enabled by default. Double annoyingly, it is named "Typecheck Calls to printf/scanf" in the "GCC 4.0 Warnings" section of the "Build Settings" in Xcode, even though this setting affects the
NS_REQUIRES_NIL_TERMINATION macro which is used commonly throughout all of Cocoa — far beyond
printf and
The implementation of this method is as follows:
va_arg and
va_end are all standard C syntax for handling variable arguments. To describe them simply:
va_list- A pointer to a list of variable arguments.
va_start- Initializes a
va_listto point to the first argument after the argument specified.
va_arg- Fetches the next argument out of the list. You must specify the type of the argument (so that
va_argknows how many bytes to extract).
va_end- Releases any memory held by the
va_listdata structure.
Generally speaking, you can use this
for loop for any variable argument situation where your arguments are all the same type. Other cases are a bit trickier but far less common — I'm sure you can work out how they would work if needed.
va_list in Cocoa
A number of classes in Cocoa have methods that take variable numbers of arguments. In most cases, these classes will also have an equivalent method that takes a
We can see an example of these
va_list equivalents by looking at
NSString declares the class method
stringWithFormat:... (which takes a variable number of arguments) and
NSString also declares the instance method
initWithFormat:arguments: (where the
arguments parameter is a
va_list) which handles the equivalent behavior of
va_list methods are used in the situation where your class defines a method with a variable argument list and you need to pass those variable arguments into the Cocoa method. For example, if the
StringContainer class listed above declared the method:
The implementation of this method would be as follows:
va_list parameter allows us to pass our own variable argument list to the Cocoa method so that the Cocoa method can handle the arguments.
Creating a fake va_list
va_list methods in Cocoa are helpful if you actually have a variable argument list.
There is another situation you many encounter though: you want to use a method like
-[NSString initWithFormat:arguments:] using a runtime generated array of arguments. There is no
NSString format method that takes an
NSArray of arguments, so how could we handle a format string at runtime?
The answer lies in how
va_list works. While GCC makes it very clear that
va_list is "platform specific", the reality is that on Mac and iPhone Objective-C platforms, it is simply a byte buffer containing the arguments. In fact, if you've ever used an ABI inspection tool (like class-dump-x) on a method taking a variable argument list, you'll see that it is simply a
char *.
To show how we can use this knowledge, consider the following method on the
StringContainer class:
If we assume that all of the variable arguments required fro the
formatString are objects, then we can implement this method as follows:
What I've done here is simply copied the
NSArray to a C-style byte buffer and then passed that buffer to the
initWithFormat:arguments: method.
If your arguments are not all Objective-C objects, you'd need to take greater care to assemble the byte buffer but the principles would be the same.
Some variadic notes
NSInvcation incompatibility
NSInvocation does not support variadic methods. I'm not sure why this is — maybe
NSInvocation wants to avoid making assumptions about
va_list, maybe it is because
NSMethodSignature can't describe the storage requirements of variable arguments for
NSInvocation or maybe the Cocoa developers have families and just wanted to go home early.
Variadic macros
You can also write variadic macros, much like variadic methods, by using the
##__VA_ARGS__ placeholder in your macros. See the macros near the bottom of my post titled Supersequent Implementation for an example of how this works. As discussed briefly in that article, the version of GCC used for iPhone development handles variadic macros slightly differently, so pay attention to the differences when targetting the iPhone platform.
Variadic methods require a degree more care than regular methods because variable argument lists have no "introspection" (you cannot ask for the number and type of arguments) — so their usage relies on documentation and implicit agreements between the sender and receiver.
In your own code, variadic methods should be used sparingly — passing variables in an
NSArray or
NSDictionary is safer (if slightly slower and syntactically more verbose) due to the fact that these classes do offer introspection.
When the implicit sender/receiver agreement is clear, variadic methods work well. They certainly make creating instances of
NSDictionary easier and they are the only way to create a formatted
NSString in a single invocation.

BGI Worldwide Logistics provides worldwide air freight services for shipments that need an expedited timeline.
When time is of the highest priority, you want our network of service partners and agents across North America, and at points around the world, handling your urgent shipments.
Along with our partners worldwide, BGI can handle your air freight transportation needs from the airport to the final point of delivery. We will assist you with all aspects of the international shippping process for air import and air export shipments, and customs clearance.
Historically shipping costs have been calculated based on the gross weight or actual weight in kilograms or pounds.
However, by charging only by weight, low density packages become unprofitable for air cargo carriers due to the amount of space they take up in an aircraft. For example, if a carrier charged the same for shipping a pound of feathers as they do for a pound of produce it would be unprofitable.
If a shipment is less than the minimum density of the industry standard, then the actual weight is not relevant and the freight carrier will charge based on dimensional weight. Dimensional Weight is calculated as length x width x height / dimensional factor. Dimensional weight is also known as DIM weight, volumetric weight and cubed weight.
BGI also provides international ocean transport for all your import and export shipping.

When gooey snickers bars and soft-baked snickerdoodle cookies meet.
Some how! Some way! A giant bowl of caramel-y, chocolate-y Snickers Bars landed into my snickerdoodle cookie dough.
Sneaky little things.
My favorite nutty candy bar and my favorite homemade snickerdoodles become one today. They're thick, soft, and quick! No dough chilling involved. Start to finish? 20-30 minutes. Hallelujah!
I have been going nuts lately in the candy aisle at Target. Everything is on sale for Halloween and a girl can't say no to 2 for $4 giant bags of chocolate bars, right? This is the best time of year. The moment I paid for my Snickers bars and the 6 other things I did not need from Target (candle? nail polish? another scented hand soap?!), I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.
Gooey, chewy, nutty, melty Snickers bars are a complete smorgasbord of flavors and textures. I just knew they'd pair wonderfully with my simple cinnamon-spiced cookies. So into my snickerdoodle cookie dough the snickers bars went. And there was no turning back.
Look at all that caramel-y chocolate-y nougat-ness inside!
Making the cookies is a walk in the park. Just a few regular cookie dough ingredients beaten together with Snickers bars. The recipe is just a tad different than my classic snickerdoodle recipe. I added an extra egg yolk to the cookie dough to give the cookies slightly more chew. You all know I love to add an extra egg yolk to cookie dough when I can (read here why). After your cookie dough is made, roll the thick dough into balls and dress each in a cinnamon-sugar outfit.
A note about the Snickers: make sure your chopped Snickers bars pieces are cold. I chop up the candy bars first, place them in a bowl in the freezer, then make the cookie dough. By the time I'm finished with the dough, the Snickers pieces are quite cold and can be added.
The reason for this? If your Snickers bar pieces are warm or at room temperature, they could melt all over your baking sheet creating a huge
mess headache. Surely you can't avoid the caramel from oozing out in a few places, but freezing the chopped Snickers beforehand prevents them from oozing out all over the place.
I've come across some lifeless, flat, dull snickerdoodle cookie recipes in my life. These are a far cry from it. The baked cookies are one of the thickest cookies I've ever made. They're tender, buttery, chewy, and incredibly soft. Just how a snickerdoodle should be in my opinion! The Snickers sprinkled throughout every corner gives the cookies a bit of excitement, texture, and the added bonus of: melted chocolate, gooey caramel, nuts, and creamy nougat.
Today's cookies stand the true "soft test" – they remained soft on day 2. In fact, the cinnamon-sugar flavor was pronounced on day 2 after it settled into the cookie. Since the cookies remain so soft, they are the perfect cookie for gift-giving. I know there are many snickerdoodle lovers in your life!
Can we talk about the name of these cookies? Snickery-doodles. I had absolutely NO idea what to name these glorious cinnamon-spiced cookies! The title "Snickers Snickerdoodles" gave me a headache, so I got a little sassy and added a hyphen. 😉
Yield: 2 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Soft-baked, puffy, and thick Snickerdoodle Cookies loaded with chopped Snickers. These cookies are easy and quick to make.
- 1 cup (2 sticks or 230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 and 1/3 cups (267g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups chopped Snickers (about 10 fun-size or 3-4 full size bars)
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Chop up your Snickers bars first. Place the chopped snickers into the freezer as you prepare the cookie dough.
- Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Make the topping: toss 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Make the cookies: In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter for about 1 minute on medium speed. Get it nice and smooth, then add the sugar on medium speed until fluffy and light in color. Mix in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Scrape down the sides as needed. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 different parts. The dough is quite thick and you may have to stir the rest by hand. Fold in the cold Snickers Bar pieces.
- Take 1.5 - 2 Tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Roll the dough balls into the reserved cinnamon-sugar topping. Sprinkle extra cinnamon-sugar on top if desired. Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes. The cookies will be very puffy and soft. When they are still very warm, lightly press down on them with the back of a spoon or fork to help flatten them out, if desired. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make ahead tip: Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can make the cookie dough and chill it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Allow to come to room temperature then continue with step 4. Baked cookies freeze well for up to 3 months. Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well for up to 3 months. Bake frozen cookie dough balls for an extra minute, no need to thaw. Click here for my tips and tricks on freezing cookie dough.
Additional Notes:
*Like most Snickerdoodle cookie recipes, cream of tartar is required.

I made these for my husband's birthday about a week ago because he is a snicker's lover. They turned out amazing!! I also mentioned this recipe and your blog and how much I love it on my recently started weekly-dinner-menu blog. Feel free to check it out… http://www.makethefirstbitecount.wordpress.com
Hi. I'm a relative newcomer to your blog but am already glad I've signed up by email as you've a really tangible sense of fun permeating your posts; I look forward to seeing what you can come up eith next. Somehow suspect it may involve sugar? 😉
As someone from the uk, all I'd like to see change/progress would be a move into metric. Your mocha mint cookies include grams and I got all excited but…no. A one-off 🙁
Maybe think about embracing accuracy?
Hope so…but still reading regardless 🙂
Hi, I'd love to make these but I usually make my dough and then freeze until I'm ready to bake (for chocolate chip and sugar cookies). Can I do that with these? Or do you recommend baking first then freezing the cookies? I am no baker so when it comes to the scientific aspects of leavening, etc….I'm clueless!
Another winning recipe! I swear, the people I work with think I'm a baking goddess because I've been making things from your website. These cookies were met with rave reviews and I really only made them because I wanted to get rid of the Halloween candy I had. I made exactly 24 cookies so they were quite large, maybe that increased their wow factor. Like another reviewer said – Keep the recipes coming!

Makes six 10" crusts
- 6.5 oz semolina flour
- 14 oz bread flour
- 13 oz all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 4 oz oil
- 13 fl oz cold water
- 6 fl oz cold soy milk
1. Add all ingredients to a mixer bowl and bring together into a rough dough with a dough hook. Let dough rest for 5 minutes, then knead with the dough hook for 5-7 minutes, or until dough is smooth and slightly tacky (but not sticky). Add more flour or water as needed.
2. Turn dough out onto an oiled baking sheet. Divided into six equal pieces and shape into balls.
3. Mist with oil, cover well with plastic wrap, and place sheet in the fridge over night.
4. On baking day, take the dough out of the fridge at least two hours before you want to start baking. Reshape the balls and leave to rise in a warm place, covered. The dough is ready to shape when it is warm and has risen.
5. Preheat your baking stone in a 450 degree oven.
6. Lightly spray six separate pieces of baking parchment with oil (you can reuse these from week to week). With your fingertips, spread the dough into a 10" circle, creating a ridge on the outside if you want. Let the dough rise, uncovered, for another 30 minutes.
7. Top with whatever suits you, and bake until crust is golden and cheese is melted (about 8-10 minutes), removing the parchment once the crust swells and begins to firm up.

City of Palm Springs Permit No. 45590000-20012496
Michael & Donna Locke and our real estate partner Andy Jelmert. City of Palm Springs Permit #45590000-20012496
Michael Locke purchased this condo in 2003
We actually stayed at this condo a year before purchasing it. At the time, it was a time share property. The following year, we were looking for a 1031 Exchange in Los Angeles. Finding nothing, we took a trip to Palm Springs and looked at over 35 properties in one day. As fate would have it, the very condo we had stayed in the year before (and had fallen in love with) was available for purchase! We felt it was just meant to be.
Besides having all the amenities of a resort, our unique condo has only one common wall with another condo, and we own that one too! In addition, we have cathedral ceilings in our living room and the master bedroom, plus a private patio and a big backyard that no one else seems to use. It's very much like a home.
I had a great time at this place with my kids age 6 and 8 at the end of June.
The condo is elegant, spacious, clean and cool, even in the hot summer, and the resort is very quiet and kids-friendly. The only thing to know: the condo is not at the exact location shown on the resort map; this was no big deal for us - the condo of our friends was only a short walk from this place - if you really need to know, this condo is located on the left side, at the end of Lydia Ct.
I highly recommend it for your next stay in Palm Springs.
This property is in a great location. It is not fancy but is all you need for a get away. Would definitely stay there again.
Our condo was perfect for our short stay. It is located very close to a great pool that is quiet and not very busy which we enjoyed. The kitchen had every thing we needed for cooking and outside we had a gas barbeque. The whole condo was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again.
Thank you so much! This was our third stay in your condo (April 20-27th) and our visit was just wonderful - as usual. Love the location of the unit and like other comments listed, the pool was great. We are early birds so we had the pool to ourselves from 8:00 am until noon or so. Your home had everything we needed.....couldn't get the DVD player to work though, but not a big deal.
Hopefully we'll be back SOON! We highly recommend this place - we love it!
We enjoyed our stay at the Oasis Resort in Palm Springs. Was close proximity to shopping and golf courses. The Oasis resort has a very clean and well maintained area. Pool area was close and very nice. Our unit itself was good and we had everything we needed. Could have used a bit more cutlery in kitchen as well as serving platters as we ran short when we had guests. All in all a nice spot.
The Resort is great. The pool closest to the house was always empty, so we had it for ourselves. If and when we felt more social, we walked to the big pool by the club house. We really like that they were heated, so even early morning or late afternoon swims felt good.
The house was ideal and had everything we needed.
The owners were very helpful and discreet, letting us enjoy the week in peace.

Congratulations, you have successfully set up your new Structr instance. This is a demo page to help you get started. You can edit and change everything on this page, just click anywhere on the text to start editing. You can explore Structr's advanced features by looking at the examples below.
Below you see a list of three panels that display database content. If you click on the text
in one of the elements below, you will see the template expression that creates the output
from the referenced database object. The database element is bound to the identifier
example. The query is defined in the div element with the little coloured bricks
icon. This is what we call a repeater. A repeater element combines a database query
(a REST call in this case) with an HTML subtree that is displayed for each element in the result
set of the query.
To examine the repeater settings, click on the "Edit Properties" icon of the repeater element as
depicted in the screenshot on the right and then click on the "Query and Data Binding" tab. You
will see the REST query and the
example data key.
For this example, we have set up a dynamic entity named
SampleApplication in the Schema Editor. It is a very simple entity with just two fields,
title and
Structr provides a large set of built-in transformation functions that you can use in your HTML elements to transform, display or hide content. Just click on the text in one of the following paragraphs to see the source of the particular element.
Welcome, ! Your UUID is . You own 0 nodes.
The first of your owned nodes is of type Usage: ${get(entity, propertyKey)}. Example: ${get(this, "children")}. There are 3 sample applications in the database.
The titles of the sample applications are [Sample #1, Sample #2, Sample #3].
The HTTP port for Structr from the structr.conf is 8082.
Today is September 28 2016, it is now 20:47 CEST
You can find more information about the built-in functions at http://docs.structr.org/frontend-user-guide#Appendix%20B%20Keywords%20And%20Functions.
The following form is created automatically from schema and database information. It is a specially crafted form that uses repeaters to display input fields for a given entity type and view. This is a very advanced use case, so please feel free to examine all its parts to understand how it works.
You can play around with the
User type definition in the Schema Editor to modify the
information and input fields displayed in this form. There is a special view named
that contains all User attributes that are editable.
Please note that due to limitations of the page preview function in Structr, the below form works best when viewed from outside of the Structr UI. Please click on the little 'eye' icon as seen in the screenshot to test the form.
With Structr you can very easily syndicate content from many different sources, including GitHub. The following sections showcase some examples of content syndication and processing from different sources.

Gangsta Homonyms
Pick a word, any word. Put a little chuckle in your voice, say it three times, and you've got J.R. Writer's first rule down: Why rhyme when you can repeat? Taking a cue from his mentor Cam'ron, this fierce mix-tape newbie raps like he's got OCD. He turns words, phrases, and sounds over a few times, feeling them out and milking them of possibility before moving on. Hustling through 64-bar verses in the obstinately unvarying cadence of a skipping turntable, he turns deliberate flowlessness into hypnotic minimalism. Jay-Z, say hello to Steve Reich.
One of the finest young talents enjoying better rotation on Canal Street than Hot 97, Writer exploits slang's exquisite instability, the way a single word explodes into signifying flurries. If he mentions birds, he might be talking about jets, girls he'll mistreat, coke he's unloading, or something only guys on 145th and Lenox will get. Call it a gangsta homonym.
On "You Ain't Saying Nothing," he runs a marathon of internal rhymes and ricochets, one of his favorite tricks, leaving room for classic battle wit: "I'm a shine-flaunter/Been on the grind longer/I'll lay .9 on ya/Cop you a casket and bring the box to your crib like Time Warner." Sometimes his wordplay is so microscopic it's absurdist. Over the wobbly reggae of "Jamaican Diplomocracy": "I flip the flip for the flip/Call me a flip-flipper/ Then flip-flop in my flip-flops/With strip-strippers."
Since most MCs think virtuosity means acrobatics, topspin, or superspeed, Writer's emphasis on gravity and traction is radical. Bombastic, urgent, and infectious, the no-name beats here suggest Kanye chipmunk soul done on a budget. Writer shoves himself across each the same bullying way, insensitive to their demands. He's a jerk in his tales too: He's a better dealer than you, a bigger consumer, a bigger misogynist, and a better rapper. But to his credit, he knows it's the last brag that matters most.

text: I recently tried Boulevard Brewing's "The Sixth Glass" beer. It's a trappist Belgian style beer and was fantastic, but the date/fig taste became a little too strong as I drank more of it, and the peppery finish grew old after the 1st beer. Other than that, it was a great brew and will buy it again and remember to only drink one per sitting. Is Chimay similar to that? Or are the typical trappist notes a little more subtle? I'm asking because a 4 pack of it is $20 and I don't want to waste money.

Call of Duty 5 World at War
(PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS )
Audio is keyBy Greg Gilmore Score:
Jan 06, 2009 8:42PM PST
The article gets it all right, but the one sure thing I've noticed about this game in multiplayer that gives it a definite suck factor is the quality of the audio. It was one of the first things I noticed when my regular group started playing this rather than CoD 4: Modern Warfare. The sound is really lacking and I can think of multiple reasons why Treyarch's seeming lack of devotion to the game's audio makes multiplayer much more unenjoyable than it needs to be:
1. The weapon sounds are tinny, and lack definition. Each gun's sound is really very similar to the next's, and it makes for a very uninspiring experience as you play aroudn with the weaponry.
2. Lack of directional and distance sound quality. When being shot at, it's very hard to determine which direction shots are coming from because the act of firing doesn't provide concrete sounds that register easily with the ears. The same problem occurs when dogs have been called in, or when someone is moving up to you at a run. Often, they can be right on top of you and either you don't even hear their approach, or if you do hear them - such as with dogs barking - it's hard to determine from which direction they're coming because it's poorly implemented.
3. Objective-based mp game modes don't effectively use sounds to notify players of changes on the battlefield, such as when playing capture the flag and the enemy picks your flag up, or even caps. Compared to CoD 2 and 4, this is one of the worst audio problems.
