by Ken Nail Built-in Bluetooth® makes calling safer and streams audio, too Sony also adds Bluetooth to the mix, for a wireless link between your mobile device and the XAV-601BT DVD receiver. If you're a Pandora® fan with an Android™ or Blackberry™ device, you can pair your phone to the XAV-601BT for complete Pandora® control without ever connecting a wire. You'll enjoy the convenience of hands-free calling, and you'll have touchscreen access to your phone book once your phone is paired. Plenty of media options This Sony does all of the other things you expect from a full-featured DVD receiver. You can plug your iPod into the front USB input for direct control and playback of audio files. For video and more, Sony's RC-202IPV cable (not included) connects your iPod or iPhone to the receiver, so you can enjoy playback of video content from your iPod or iPhone, plus view and control compatible apps. Slide a DVD into the front slot to enjoy movies or videos when you're parked, or insert a CD or DVD loaded with MP3, WMA, or AAC music files for hours of audio entertainment. Sophisticated sound controls You know the evil sound your factory radio makes when it's turned up too loud? No such problem here. This Sony's powerful amp combines with advanced circuitry to make your discs and digital music sound their best. You can adjust the EQ7 7-band equalizer to optimize the acoustics in your vehicle, or use the built-in digital signal processing to enhance the sound of compressed music files. MirrorLink™ offers a new degree of smartphone connectivity If you're like most people these days, you've made your smartphone your source for... well, pretty much everything. You store music on it, do things like get directions with it, and sometimes even make phone calls with it. So it's only natural that you'd want to tap into it when you're on the road. Sony's XAV-601BT works with the MirrorLink system, which makes it the easiest way to get in-dash control over select smartphones, such as the popular Samsung Galaxy S III and Nokia Symbian models. What will I need for MirrorLink? MirrorLink needs three elements to do its thing: a compatible receiver like the XAV-601BT, a compatible smartphone, and an app that works with MirrorLink. The system works like this: Download the app (prices vary) to your compatible phone. This lets the phone enter "car mode," which provides a simplified graphical interface that's ideal for use in the car, as it's easy to see at a glance, and much easier to use. Connect your phone to the receiver using the receiver's USB input and your phone's USB cable. Launch the app on your phone, and tap the MirrorLink icon in the receiver's source menu. The optimized car mode menu will appear on your receiver's screen. Check to see if your phone will work with MirrorLink The number of phones compatible with MirrorLink is limited, but growing. Sony is working hand in hand with the Car Connectivity Consortium, a group of manufacturers developing standards for mobile smartphone applications, to certify phones that will work with MirrorLink. While the MirrorLink system has been in use in certain factory stereos in Europe, the list of compatible U.S.-based receivers and smartphones is currently limited — check Sony's MirrorLink compatibility chart for their latest information. Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Sony stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Sony, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.

Touchscreen receivers allow you to breeze through menus with the tip of your finger. Most DVD receivers feature a USB input for audio from your iPod, and the ability to add an adapter that allows video to display on the screen. Some receivers even offer connections for a center speaker and a subwoofer, so you can build a full-fledged theater in your car, just like at home.
USB menus suck Written By Roger, Mesa, AZ on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value USB menu is the worst I've ever seen.
Mirrorlink and Telenav disappointment Written By Boyonsea, Boston on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Was fooled by the advertisemnt that it supports iphone. Should have read the fine print. Doesnt support iphone 5 nor the nokia lumia 900 for mirrorlink. The telenav app on iphone 5 also doesnt appear on screen. No video from iphone 5 on ipod mode. (I read on esupport sony site that it supports iphone4, sony xperia and galaxy s3. really sad it doesnt support more phones) Other that this, its an excellent product. Sound quality and bluetooth integration is amazing. Was tired of buring CDs in my old stereo, but now I have loaded up my nokia lumia with music and also a small 8gb usb drive with music. I also drilled a hole through the cigarette lighter area to run the back usb cable, so 2 phones can be charged at the same time (one usb is at the front). I really wish mirrolink and telenav worked with iphone 5/nokia lumia series. Am planning to upgrade to iphone 5s, but will not be able to do a mirrorlink with this unit. Also no news on support for samsung s4. Pros: USB music/photo/video and Bluetooth integration Cons: No Iphone 5, Nokia lumia support
Sony XAV-601BT Written By DM, Titusville, Florida on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This replaced a Kenwood unit that stopped working. Overall this is a very good entertainment center. It is very responsive to control on the touch screen. Sound quality is excellent and the options to add sources is very good. Bluetooth works very well with my devices. The control screens could use some work or short cuts as you have to use multiple screens to adjust sound setting. Also it would be nice to allow the user to make sound settings that effect all sources at once currently each source have their own setting ( Just allow a choice). Pros: Responsiveness, sound quality, Bluetooth, expansion options. Cons: Control screen layouts or lack of short cuts.
Nice upgrade for the Shaker-500 factory unit Written By Don, Ann Arbor, MI on Sunday, July 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Upgraded the Shaker-500 head unit in my 2006 Mustang. The factory unit had no USB and would not play all MP3s that I burned from Amazon. This unit fixes all of that. ...and adds hands-free calling, video and a cool touch screen. The sound is better than the factory unit and it also drives the system with more power. With the original unit, only the drivers mirror would vibrate, now all 3 do. I kept the factory speakers and the powered subs - seem good for now. Don't always love the UI, but I can get the unit to do what I want, so its OK. Haven't tried mirror-link yet, waiting to get a new phone next month, will try then.... I upgraded to this particular unit for this feature. The Bluetooth, hands free works great. Pros: Looks good, easy install, great sound Cons: Parts of the UI are klunky
Solid stereo with nice features Written By Anonymous, Chapel Hill, NC on Sunday, June 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought this stereo because I wanted the ability to display a rear-view camera image when I was backing up. This unit has a parking break sensor that will block the rear-view camera feed when you do not have the parking break on. That will prevent you from looking at the camera display while backing up. At first I found this annoying, but later I began to appreciate how important it is after a few practical uses and near misses when I was focused solely on the camera display. The iPod and bluetooth controls work great with my wife's iPhone. The bluetooth integration with Android is less satisfactory but functional. The Bluetooth tends to drop a bit frequently but this could be due to the phones, not sure. The steering wheel controls are great and intuitive. The built-in radio has the nicest control system I have ever seen. Pros: * The unit has a nice long USB port in the back that I ran to my glove box where I can keep an iPod out of sight. * It has two auxiliary inputs that you can use to run different devices from * The steering wheel control lets you dial through modes like a rotary which is convenient * incoming calls on your bluetooth connected phone will pause your other media and let you answer the call * the microphone wire is nice and long and I was able to hide the mic in my sun visor without problems Cons: * setting up the steering wheel controls was hard and required soldering lines directly into the dash's wiring harness * directions for steering wheel controls were confusing and required three install attempts (there are two different "pink" wires on my car, this may be the fault of my manufacturer more than the stereo) * only 1 bluetooth device at a time, other stereos can register multiple devices and let you pick which device to use from a menu, this stereo is 1 at a time. * pricey
Nothing Short of Perfect !!! Written By Clint, Mobile, AL on Thursday, June 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This radio is the most reliable perfect addition to my vehicle ever. I tried the JVC KW-AV64BT hated it no FM it was bad. This is the easiest to use most feature packed radio ever. Pros: ALL Cons: Dont have it in my Cobra!
Nice Overall Written By dragons151, Fort Walton Beach, FL on Monday, June 24, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I have had this radio for a year now, no issues. Sound quality is amazing, you have to really know this device to enjoy it. Mirror link isn't installed in a lot of phones in the us however their are increasing the numbers daily (my Samsung s3 uses drive link). I have an old iPhone 4s that I don't have service with anymore however it plays the movies I have saved on there as well as any YouTube, Netflix or any other video/sound media I have. The remote mic for blue tooth works well (when windows are up). Sony has put out at least 3 firmware updates that have significantly improved the performance and functionality of this device. I have had a external led monitor hooked up to one of the composite video ports that has allowed me to do zone x zone (lets the driver listen to the radio while passengers listen to movie through headphones ). I have used the telnave (available after firmware update) which is great turn by turn only down fall is that it doesn't allow any other sound to play unless it is music saved onto the Apple product. I have no issues with playing movies off of the usb drive. I didn't try the zone x zone with usb however I do believe I wouldn't have any issues. I like the auto dimming feature for night driving (if hooked up ) and love the turn off display option for night driving (hold disp.). Bluetooth automatically picks up every time i get in and can stream Pandora without physically connecting a cable. I've found this to be worth the price. Pros: easy to use, amazing picture, amazing sound Cons: doesn't come with back up camera or gps
Great product Written By Great value, Riverside,ca on Friday, May 03, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I have always enjoyed great audio so in the past I would have looked at higher end head units. This time around I wanted something with a lot of bang for the buck like most of us now a days. I found this Sony fit the bill and it surpassed my expectations. It is easy to use and features are great. The audio setup was easy and far better than i expected. I am running Focal separates, Mtx sub and a J L amp the sound is amazing. My car can't have rear speakers but the Sony unit allows you to favor the front sound stage and allows to limit the highs and lows so you can cut them off at certain levels. This gives your speaker a clearer sound. There are a ton of options and just noticed the rears can be set as subs too. I think i will find a way to get some mid range woofers in the rear. ; ) The first chance I had I went out with my Friend and she really cranked it up on the 101 freeway heading down to Hollywood .It sounded great the highs were crisp and clear the bass thundered and thumped it was awesome.. I love my radio. thanks for reading. Pros: easy to use , tons of audio speaker calibrations, front and rear USB, i pod control. Detachable face Cons: Screen could be a little brighter, mirror link allows you to view your smart phones navigation and Pandora and other apps but only for Nokia phones and 2 Samsung the galaxy s3 and with a recent firmware upgrade it supports the galaxy Note II .
Sony XAV-601BT Written By daniel v, stockton ,calif on Monday, April 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I realy liked it. Pros: Realy easy to work with if you have a iphone. Cons: Not so easy if you don't have a iphone.
Sony XAV-601BT Written By Elle, Grants Pass on Monday, March 25, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I love this unit! The sound quality is great, Bluetooth is seamless with my iPhone and the screen controls make it so easy to operate! Pros: Great sound! GREAT Bluetooth functionality, Wonderful sound quality! Cons: Wish the mirrorlink worked with my iPhone!
One nice player! Written By Mullin, Charleston, WV on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Read all the reviews as well and went with what was on paper. Have to say I'm very thankful i did. This unit is wonderful, no DVD playback issues, no IPOD or IPhone sync issues and I'm using a 120GB (about 14k songs) classic. I also tried the 10k items on flash drive, worked just as well. The thing they dont tell you is once you pair the BT, you "CAN STREAM PANDORA" or anything for that matter "THROUGH BLUETOOTH" - if you want to rate the song then you will need to usb it - if you just want to listen, skip forward or back it does it via bluetooth. If you were like me and went with the factory steering wheel controls adapter - its bliss. I really like the sound staging (listening position) feature and it doesnt clip as you crank it-this baby can cook some factorys im sure. Another thing they were not really clear on is the visualations during playback. To me that alone should be the selling point, we all know mirror link is junk but there isnt any other unit out there that will entertain the screen as you listen as much as this one, its like winamp x 5. So if your out looking for an all in one and want something that is different from everyone else, take this into consideration. Detachable face + wireless remote, and all the other bells and whistles... you cannot beat it for the price =fact. Pros: Great sound, picture, BT pairing & features, excellent sub response out, wireless remote, On Screen visualtions as well as audio playback, easy interface (2D and 3D modes), could go on. Cons: Didnt come with a milk shake....
Not that bad Written By Bou-G, Sudbury, ON on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I'm not as picky as everyone else who rated this. I think its a decent head unit, it has a really clear and nice picture and good sound although ive now wired my components to an aftermarket amplifier. The dvd function works totally fine, and the previous comments regarding that issue are completely wrong they just dont know how to install touchscreen HU's!! It has trouble connecting to my sony walkman but connects great to my ipod. I do agree that the mirror link sucks, but thats pretty much the only problems i see with this deck. I will install a rearview camera soon and see how that works and let you know if it does or doesnt work. But for the cost I would definitely go for something else though. Pros: nice picture, works well if all you care about is playing your ipod or usb Cons: trouble connecting to sony walkman, mirror link sucks, the
Sony XAV-601BT Written By Rell, Dallas, TX on Thursday, December 20, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Ok, the features highlighted to sale this product are misleading!!! The Tom Tom GPS Navigation is not available, and the MirrorLink exists only for a couple phones so there goes Navigation! Zone X Zone requires the rear monitor to be sending audio. If the DVD is in the unit itself, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS FEATURE TO WORK!!!!!!!!! Videos thru USB are NOT shown on reat monitors!! COME On MANNNNN!!! They didn't think this one thru.... Works well with my Bluetooth Sony WALKMAN. Bluetooth or USB! Audio, Video, Photos all show. Wouldn't consider the XAV 601BT a "terrible product" but I am frustrated buying a product for it's features only to find that they are not available for ANY reason! Pros: Sound quality and video are great! Compatible with Sony WALKMAN and Xperia Phones. Detachable Faceplate. Upgradable Cons: No Navigation, Limited MirrorLink, Features not as advertised
Terrible Product Written By BrianM, Cincinnati, OH on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This unit is half baked. The user interface is terrible. When listening to XM, the preset station buttons and station +/- disappear and require you to hit the back button to see them. The advanced controls (pause, replay, etc.) part of the XMSirius tuner are not available on this unit. The station name, artist, and song title are ridiculously small fonts. Mirrorlink is a joke and does not work with any US phones. If you have any speakers connected directly to the unit (without an amp), the unit beeps as soon as you turn off the car. Sony calls this a "caution alarm" to tell you the faceplate is still on and doesn't provide a way to disable it. It's annoying and embarrassing. It seems like the firmware was half baked and the unit shoved out the door before it was ready. If I would have known how bad it is, I would not have bought this unit. I could live with fewer features for a unit that is better thought out. Pros: Bluetooth, Android Pandora control Cons: User interface, "Caution Alarm"
IMO might be the hottest radio out Written By Anonymous, Atlanta, GA on Monday, September 03, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value It's correct MirrorLink isn't for iPhone, but I don't think that's Sony's fault. Apple didn't join MirrorLink so Sony can only interface as much as apple lets them. Plus it does have passenger app mode for iPhone where any app that has video out will play on the screen. Youtube, Netflix, MotionX GPS Drive and even more apps work from my iPad. And yes Nokia and Samsung are supplying the only MirrorLink phones in the USA right now, but other phone makers are in MirrorLink too, so there will be more MirrorLink phones soon. I mostly use an iPhone, but MirrorLink looks so cool I may get a prepaid Nokia just to check it out. Yes the Telenav app could use an update, but the cool part is you can control the app from the radio. Unlike other apps that can only be controlled by the phone. In some states touching your phone while driving can get you pulled over. It sounds like some of the reviewers didn't spend much time getting to know the radio. Pros: 3D GUI, Dual USB, Detachable Face, App Control, MirrorLink, 5V preout, full motion iPod background graphics, upload background image, User updateable, fast iPod search Cons: I gave it 4 coolness stars because they got of the picture in picture from last years nav.
Listen to the reviews, go with the Pioneer Written By Corey, NJ on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Really nice at first. NO iPhone support for Mirrorlink. (period) What a disappointment. Full of glitches as well. No sound on startup until you scroll through sources. Number keys on remote cannot dial in a channel. Bad news!
No. No. No. Written By JayB, San Francisco, CA on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This looks like a good unit. I have had mine for about 45 days now and I am not very satisfied. The sound and the picture quality are both good, which is to be expected for a Sony device. The problem is in the functionality. First, I bought the device (based on the pictures on the website and box) that show a cool GUI with the song display and the navigation. That screenshot DOES NOT EXIST. When you use Telenav (which, by the way was only available today via the Firmware update), you can do nothing else on the device except for play your iPhone music through Telenav (which is NOT user friendly). If you have a satellite radio installed, you will NOT be able to do both navigation AND music. Same with Pandora. The Telenav application is worthless and slow. If you are buying this for navigation -- DONT! I am not sure about the add-on Tom Tom navigation unit, but that's additional $$$, so why wouldn't I just buy another device that has Navigation built in for less? Strange. There is a 1-wire USB cable on the front, but it does NOT control the iPhone if you are trying to use it for Navigation or anything with video. For that, you need to use the complicated and strangely thick iPhone cable (which ONLY plugs in through the back of the unit). The box says that it's iPhone compatible, but that just isn't very true. Sure...it plays music through the device with your iPhone, but forget about using ANY of the mirrorlink applications -- they only work on such a limited number Pros: Display, Sound Quality, & Visualizations Cons: iPhone compatibility issues, TeleNav App Control, Cumberson GUI
Is this really a Sony Product? Written By Jerry, Lancaster, NY on Monday, July 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Everything I own is Sony, and I bought this unit off the name. Kind of a mistake. First of all the mirror link Technology only works on 2 phones and after speaking with Sony's Customer service there is no more phones in the making to further this list. The sound was good, not impressed. The whole interface needs some work to be done, very boring. Thank God for crutchfield as I returned this item and went with a Pioneer 8400, which was a better choice. Very shocked for Sony to put out such a lame product. Need to catch up with the Jone's Sony !!
Almost there Written By Dave, Boston, MA on Monday, July 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Sony just needs to add a bit of polish to the user interface, and it'll be just about perfect. After fumbling through the user documentation on how to access all the functionality, I realized that there are just a few things missing from the setup: Customization of home screen icons. I want to be able to rearrange the icons based on how I want. Currently the only options are factory set, and frequently accessed (not sure how that's figured). I'd also like to see separate UI icons that fall in line with those of an iPod or iPhone, since there is still not word on mirrorlink with an iOS device. I've heard word that there's a firmware update coming down in August (2012), so we'll see what we get there, other than the TeleNav GPS functionality. Pros: Slick User Interface and swipe commands for music playback. Cons: User documentation left much to be desired.

A great screen and front USB input Written by Dominic Devito, Staff Writer - Creative, on 4/15/2013 4:24:00 PM First off, the XAV-601BT's "3D" icon scrolling has a learning curve. This is not to say it's hard to use, but it does take some getting used to. Once I played around with it a while, it became pretty intuitive - you swipe through rows of source icons with up and down finger strokes on the screen. But it's definitely different. The interface is not quite as swank in the "2D" mode. The screen quality is amazing, with colors and hues looking crisp and sharp. Very impressive for watching video when parked. I also really liked the front USB input, as I'm a big fan of transporting music on a thumb drive. This way, I can leave the iPod plugged into the rear USB input and still access my tunes easily. I didn't get to use the MirrorLink feature since Android compatibility is still kind of limited (and I'm an iPhone guy), but it looks really intriguing and helpful for Android app users.

Blog Writing: What Do You Do When a Blog Goes Bye-Bye?
Ah, a day in the life of a blogger and computer geek. It began with an attack from two ten year old emil viruses and ended with the star blog of the article I was working on disappearing.
Blogging can be easy and fun, but if you do it for a living, it has its ups and downs, good days and bad. In my ongoing series on Lorelle on WordPress called "Blog Struggles," I share some of the hardships associated with blogging, from the early days to present. Today, it was a bad day. Two weeks of research down the drain.
I've been working for two long hard weeks on an article about an open source program with the focus on an excellent community fan blog. Just before hitting the Publish button, I visited the site to verify some information.
The site I'd visited so often in the past ten days greeted me with a big white page and a note that the site had been "discontinued" without further explanation or link to an alternate resource.
Poof. Gone. Bye-bye. read more

You are looking at historical revision 27461 of this page. It may differ significantly from its current revision.
Foreign type specifiers
Here is a list of valid foreign type specifiers:
An arbitrary Scheme data object (immediate or non-immediate).
As argument: any value (#f is false, anything else is true).
As result: anything different from 0 and the NULL pointer is #t.
byte unsigned-byte
A byte.
char unsigned-char
A character.
short unsigned-short
A short integer number.
int unsigned-int int32 unsigned-int32
An small integer number in fixnum range (at least 30 bit).
integer unsigned-integer integer32 unsigned-integer32 integer64 unsigned-integer64
Either a fixnum or a flonum in the range of a (unsigned) machine int or with 32/64 bit width.
long unsigned-long
Either a fixnum or a flonum in the range of a (unsigned) machine long or with 32 bit width.
float double
A floating-point number. If an exact integer is passed as an argument, then it is automatically converted to a float.
A floating-point number. Similar to double, but when used as a result type, then either an exact integer or a floating-point number is returned, depending on whether the result fits into an exact integer or not.
A symbol, which will be passed to foreign code as a zero-terminated string.
When declared as the result of foreign code, the result should be a string and a symbol with the same name will be interned in the symbol table (and returned to the caller).
An untyped pointer to the contents of a non-immediate Scheme object (not allowed as return type). The value #f is also allowed and is passed as a NULL pointer.
Don't confuse this type with (c-pointer ...) which means something different (a machine-pointer object).
scheme-pointer is typically used to get a pointer to the raw byte content of strings and blobs. But if you pass in a SRFI-4 vector, you will get a pointer to a blob object (not the blob's contents), which is almost certainly wrong. Instead, convert to a blob beforehand, or use a SRFI-4 specific type.
As scheme-pointer, but guaranteed not to be #f.
Don't confuse this type with (nonnull-c-pointer ...) which means something different (a machine-pointer object).
An untyped operating-system pointer or a locative. The value #f is also allowed and is passed as a NULL pointer. If uses as the type of a return value, a NULL pointer will be returned as #f.
As c-pointer, but guaranteed not to be #f/NULL.
A vector of foreign pointer objects. #f is allowed and passed as a NULL pointer.
As pointer-vector, but guaranteed not to be #f/NULL.
A blob object, passed as a pointer to its contents. Arguments of type blob may optionally be #f, which is passed as a NULL pointer.
This is not allowed as a return type.
As blob, but guaranteed not to be #f.
A SRFI-4 number-vector object, passed as a pointer to its contents.
These type specifiers are not allowed as return types.
As u8vector ..., but guaranteed not to be #f.
A C string (zero-terminated). The value #f is also allowed and is passed as a NULL pointer. If uses as the type of a return value, a NULL pointer will be returned as #f. Note that the string is copied (with a zero-byte appended) when passed as an argument to a foreign function. Also a return value of this type is copied into garbage collected memory.
As c-string, but guaranteed not to be #f/NULL.
[nonnull-] c-string*
Similar to [nonnull-] c-string, but if used as a result-type, the pointer returned by the foreign code will be freed (using the C-libraries free(1)) after copying. This type specifier is not valid as a result type for callbacks defined with define-external.
[nonnull-] unsigned-c-string[*]
Same as c-string, but maps to the unsigned char * C type.
Expects a pointer to a list of C strings teminated by a NULL pointer and returns a list of strings.
Only valid as a result type of non-callback functions.
Similar to c-string-list but releases the storage of each string and the pointer array using free(1).
Specifies an undefined return value.
Not allowed as argument type.
(const TYPE)
The foreign type TYPE with an additional const specifier.
(enum NAME)
An enumeration type. Handled internally as an integer.
(c-pointer TYPE)
An operating-system pointer or a locative to an object of TYPE.
(nonnull-c-pointer TYPE)
As (c-pointer TYPE), but guaranteed not to be #f/NULL.
(ref TYPE)
A C++ reference type. Reference types are handled the same way as pointers inside Scheme code.
(struct NAME)
A struct of the name NAME, which should be a string.
Structs cannot be directly passed as arguments to foreign function, neither can they be result values. Pointers to structs are allowed, though.
(template TYPE ARGTYPE ...)
A C++ template type. For example vector<int> would be specified as (template "vector" int).
Template types cannot be directly passed as arguments or returned as results.
(union NAME)
A union of the name NAME, which should be a string.
Unions cannot be directly passed as arguments to foreign function, neither can they be result values. Pointers to unions are allowed, though.
(instance CNAME SCHEMECLASS)
A pointer to a C++ class instance wrapped into a Scheme object instance. CNAME should designate the name of the C++ class, and SCHEMECLASS should be the class that wraps the instance pointer.
To use this, an extension will be required that provides an object-creation- and access-interface compatible to coops or tinyclos. Specifically, it should provide the following operations:
(make SCHEMECLASS 'this POINTER) (slot-ref INSTANCE 'this)
(instance-ref CNAME SCHEMECLASS)
A reference to a C++ class instance.
(function RESULTTYPE (ARGUMENTTYPE1 ... [...]) [CALLCONV])
A function pointer. CALLCONV specifies an optional calling convention and should be a string. The meaning of this string is entirely platform dependent. The value #f is also allowed and is passed as a NULL pointer.
Foreign types are mapped to C types in the following manner:
bool | int |
[unsigned-]char | [unsigned] char |
[unsigned-]byte | [unsigned] char |
[unsigned-]short | [unsigned] short |

Phillies hope hot-hitting Utley returns against Crew
Garza looks to continue fast start; Hernandez set to go for Philadelphia
The Phillies hope to have the National League's hottest hitter back in the lineup Wednesday when their home-opening series continues against the Brewers.
Chase Utley missed Tuesday's home opener with the flu and was sent home from the ballpark to avoid infecting teammates. He played through illness on Sunday in Chicago, going 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI groundout. Utley's 1.369 on-base plus slugging percentage leads the National League.
"Hopefully we can get it out of his system with some rest," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said.
Utley had to be convinced to go home.
"Yeah, just the fact that he came in and had a hard time telling me how he was feeling," Sandberg said. "But yeah, he was sick as a dog, actually. I told him to go home. He wasn't looking good at all."
If he is able to play, Utley's hot start -- he is hitting .458 with three doubles, two home runs, six RBIs and three walks in six games -- would go on the line against Brewers right-hander Matt Garza, who is set for his second Milwaukee start. Utley is 2-for-10 with a double and homer in his career against the former Ray, Cub and Ranger.
Garza was sensational in his Brewers debut last week, when both he and Braves starter Aaron Harang carried no-hitters into the seventh inning. Garza was first to blink when he surrendered a two-out home run to Chris Johnson, and the Braves won, 1-0.
Still, Garza's outing was viewed as a success: eight innings, two hits, one run, one walk, seven strikeouts.
"If he pitches like that all year, that's just going to be -- he's going to have a Cy Young year," Brewers outfielder Logan Schafer said.
Right-hander Roberto Hernandez will start for the Phillies.
Brewers: Starting pitching leads the way
• Kyle Lohse struggled through five innings against the Phillies on Tuesday but held them to three runs in five innings. Through seven games, no Brewers starter has allowed more than three earned runs in an outing. Even with Lohse's mediocre performance, Brewers starters' composite ERA is 2.08.
"Our pitching has been pretty good, the bullpen and the starters," general manager Doug Melvin said. "It gives us a chance, every game, to win."
Phillies: Looking for fifth starter
• Cole Hamels could rejoin the Phillies rotation as early as April 21, but they need a fifth starter for the first time this season Saturday against the Marlins.
Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said before the game they have a few options. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Sunday right-handers Jonathan Pettibone and David Buchanan are candidates. Right-hander Jeff Manship is in the bullpen and has started in the past.
Sandberg said they will make a decision in the next day or two.
Pettibone pitched Sunday, while Buchanan pitched Tuesday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, so the Phillies would be asking Buchanan to make his big league debut on short rest. Buchanan, who was a bright spot in Spring Training, also is not on the 40-man roster, so they would need to make room for him.
Worth noting
• Carlos Ruiz started a game in the No. 3 spot for the first time in his career Tuesday, while Utley was out with the flu.
• Hamels is scheduled to make his second rehab start Friday with Class A Clearwater.
• The only Brewers hitter with considerable at-bats against Hernandez is Lyle Overbay, who is 3-for-16.

The Windy City!
Trip Start
Apr 06, 2010
Trip End
Where I stayed
Chicago's public transport includes the 'El' or elevated train, and we used this to get around the city for the day and to try and save our feet a little. We visited the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Cloud Gate or 'the bean' as it's known, which is a wicked sculpture made of stainless steel in Millennium Park that gives a distorted reflection of the city, and also really enjoyed the Crown Fountain; a pair of 50ft glass towers that face each other over a black granite pool. The glass towers project the faces of local people, and every 10 minutes or so they spout water from the mouths of the people being projected!
It's amazing how quickly a day goes just wandering in a city. We walked down the Navy Pier which is half a mile long, and finished off the day with an infamous Chicago 'deep dish' pizza pie that was ridiculously huge! Before we headed off the next morning we caught the train back downtown and walked around the Contemporary Art Museum which was well worth the visit and meant we got to see Chicago in the sunshine before we left. Could easily have stayed in Chicago for much longer, it's such an interesting and exciting city to be in.

Excerpted from The Lake Shore Limited by Sue Miller. Copyright © 2010 by Sue Miller. Excerpted by permission of Vintage, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Sue Miller is the best-selling author of the novels The Lake Shore Limited, The Senator's Wife, Lost in the Forest, The World Below, While I Was Gone, The Distinguished Guest, For Love, Family Pictures, and The Good Mother; the story collection Inventing the Abbotts; and the memoir The Story of My Father. She lives in Cambridge.
Q: The Lake Shore Limited takes its title from the famous train, but it is also the title of a play embedded within this novel—a play about a terrorist bombing of that train as it pulls into Union Station in Chicago, and a man waiting to hear whether his estranged wife is among the survivors. Billy Gertz, the woman who's written the play, has waited in just such a way on 9/11 to hear whether her lover, Gus, was on one of the planes used in that attack. Was there one event in particular that sparked the idea for The Lake Shore Limited?
A: Yes. The spark came from a friend who had a relationship that would have ended sooner than it did had not her lover's brother died on 9/11. While this situation is not like the one I created for Billy, my fictional playwright, the situation started me thinking about the far reach of such an event; and the variety of responses that play out around it, even at some distance. And the way in which the responses may be based in feelings that might be not the expected one—ie, the way in which sometimes we're called on to enact something we don't feel, and the discomfort and sense of alienation from ourselves that comes from that.
Q: Much of the book centers around the characters' reactions to Billy's play, "The Lake Shore Limited". How and why did you structure the book as, in essence, a play within a play?
A: As I began to include some of the lines from the play and create scenes in rehearsal, it began to seem more important to me. It began to seem central to the book, actually. I began to see the book as at least in part a kind of speculation on how the experience of art can be transforming in life—for those who create it, as Billy and also Rafe, the actor, do; and for those who take it in and ponder it and ask about its connections to their own lives. And then, I suppose, I just got interested in the play, too—in writing it, at least the part you read in the book.
Q: Billy Gertz is a playwright. You, Sue Miller, are a fiction writer. There is seemingly much overlap between these two professions. At one point, Billy is having an argument with her lover, Gus. Gus is upset that Billy used a private moment between the two of them in one of her plays. Billy says, "I use me, Gus . . . . I use me up. I need all of me, and if you're with me, that means I use you, too. I use everything. How could I not? And what I don't use, I don't use because it doesn't work. Not because it's sacred . . . . Nothing is sacred. That's just the way it is." Is this a conversation taken from your own life?
A: I had originally thought of making Billy a director, a director who would be working on a play like The Lake Shore Limited. But then I began to think that I wanted the connection between what she was working on and her own experience with Gus to be more than coincidence, or accident, so I made her the playwright. And while I've never had exactly the conversation Billy has with Gus, I've often thought about what the limits are for writers in terms of what they use of their own lives, and others'. There are obviously great differences in the way writers work with the material they come by through living in families, having lovers and spouses, children, friends—even pets. I think I probably fall about in the middle in terms of making use of such material—not as close to the bone as some, not as distanced as others seem, anyway. In the end, though, we all call up what we know. Perhaps the greater difference then is in the degree of transformation of the material. And perhaps part of the reason I've never had the discussion Billy has with Gus with anyone in my own life is that I've transformed what I've used. The transformation is the point.
Q: Have you always been a fan of the theatre? Could you see yourself writing a play one day?
A: I've always been interested in seeing and reading plays, though occasionally I've felt the way the character Pierce, in the book, does—that they're too damned THEATRICAL. But the form interests me, as dialogue in my books has always interested me, and I could—can—imagine writing a play.
Q: The viewpoint in The Lake Shore Limited flips amongst four characters, two male (Rafe and Sam) and two female (Leslie and Billy) all of whom are at various ages and stages of their life. Why did you choose to cast the book in this way?
A: I wanted the book to look at the way this play strikes a variety of people. I had Billy nearly from the start of thinking about the book, and Leslie came next, because I knew I wanted two versions, two understandings, of what the real story was about Billy and Gus, with the play mediating between them. But I wanted to broaden the impact of the play too—to have it speak not just to the people directly involved, but to others, with other stories. Rafe and his life came next, more or less in a rush of notemaking and writing. Sam's was last, and most complicated to develop—though I knew from the start about his connection with Leslie.
Q: You so eloquently write about the interior lives of people who are trying to understand their feelings, their relationships, themselves. How do you create such three dimensional characters, each with their own vivid and complicated pasts?
A: Now THIS is the kind of question I like, wrapped neatly in a compliment. And I think I've started an answer with my response to the last question. But let me also say that this is one of the most pleasurable aspects of writing for me—the construction of lives and histories. The process of imagining them so deeply as to feel I actually know these other people, these other stories. A way of escaping myself, I suppose.
Q: How do you research the specifics of what you write about? For instance, how did you know the specifics of producing a play?
A:With each book I do, there is usually at least a little research. Sometimes I can get there by reading, and I did do a lot of reading about 9/11 for this book, actually, and the experiences of people who lost family on that day as well as the history of how it happened, the timeline of the planes, the story of the telephone calls—even the book The Commission. A lot of that didn't make it into the book, but that wasn't the point. The point was to feel that I could begin to understand it.
As for the play, I sat in on the production of a play at the Aurora Theater in Berkeley in the spring of 2008, watching and making notes from the early stage of talk around a table about what the actors thought was intended, to the choreographing of a fight scene, to the final production. It was fascinating and not just helpful—necessary.
Q: You teach English at Smith College. What is the best advice you give to aspiring writers?
A: Read.
Q: Tell us a little about your writing process—how you write, when etc?
A: I make a lot of notes before I write. I want to know what I'm doing. Where I'm going. I want to feel that I'm working on a whole thing, the idea for which I have clear in my mind—the way perhaps an architect would know what he wanted to do without knowing every detail of it from the start; or a composer might know what he wanted a piece of music to do, the way he wanted it to move, without knowing all the themes in it.
I write in longhand for the first draft, typing it in when I feel ready to work on revision. Sometime that's a small piece—a chapter—sometimes a longer chunk of the book. I type it in, pull it out and write all over it again in longhand, type it in again, pull it out, etc. etc.
I try to write in the morning, before I get enmeshed in the demands of daily life—though those are all easier now that I don't have responsibility for a child. Towards the end of a book, I write longer days.
Q: What's next for you?
A: I've signed a contract with Knopf for a new novel I've described to them, so I'll be working on that for a few years. I'd like to try, anyway, to write Billy's play—"The Lake Shore Limited". And I have a two-year-old granddaughter I'd like to spend as much time with as I can.
From the Hardcover edition.
"Exquisite. . . . Profound. . . . Moving. . . . Gorgeously drawn and told with stark honesty. . . . Sophisticated and thoughtful. . . . The theatrical performance serves as a surprisingly effective stage for Miller's rueful reflection on what actors we all are—and how unfairly we convict ourselves for the impurity of our affection."
—The Washington Post
"Quintessential Miller, touching on the themes that have animated her fiction for the past quarter-century: the potency of sex; the failure of men and women to understand each other; the hunger for a different life."
—The New York Times Book Review
"Richly layered . . . subtle, piquant, satisfying. Reading Sue Miller is like watching an invisible
painter create a lovely, affecting work in smooth, expert strokes."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"Haunting. . . . Its power grows from Miller's intimate understanding of her characters . . . of missed connections, lost opportunities, and closely held memories that mutate slowly over time. . . . Miller gives us a knowing meditation upon the acts of alchemy and theft that constitute an artist's work: a meditation that sheds light on her own craft, so meticulously showcased in this novel."
—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Deeply moving. . . . [A] great accomplishment. . . . What [Miller is] doing seems easy, the most natural of narratives. And yet, stepping back to consider how precisely she was able to get any one character from here to there is enough to show us the subtlety of her art."
—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Miller seeks and impressively succeeds in finding what Wordsworth called 'a plainer and more emphatic language' to express 'essential passions of the heart.' Her art is to find those passions and that language in the streets and parks of the Boston she knows and writes about so well."
—Boston Globe
"An engaging, mature book. . . . Immensely satisfying, in concept, content and craftsmanship. . . . Miller is so skilled at the psychological deep-dive."
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Miller has written gripping novels that shrewdly tap the domestic zeitgeist. . . . [The Lake Shore Limited] continues the trend, exploring the fragility of love—and life—in the post-9/11 era. . . . Another graceful, poignant romance that resonates with the times."
"Calmly perceptive. . . . Miller is a remarkably graceful writer who sweeps you up in her flow of words, in her ability to make a character seem like someone we know."
—The Seattle Times
"An ensemble novel about love, loss, and the discontents of middle age."
"Miller never disappoints and always surprises."
—The Miami Herald
"Miller [is] among our foremost social anthropologists. . . . The reader can count on spending time with well-intentioned but flawed individuals who slip, hurt each other and are pummeled by the consequences, yet remain hopeful. . . . The characters are so real that it's startling to close the book on them at the end."
—The Oregonian
"Miller takes the reader into cinematic, three-dimensional life where men and women live through realistically complicated challenges in the midst of ordinary lives. Through each character's self-reflection, she seems to be asking how are we doing now, in this time, in this place? The conclusion is hopeful."
—Providence Journal
"With the surety of a master, Miller reveals the intersection of love and fate among [her] characters."
—Good Housekeeping
1. Have you read any of Sue Miller's other books? If so, does The Lake Shore Limited share any themes?
2. What do we learn from the first sentence of this novel? Now that you know the character Leslie, what does it mean to you?
3. Who did you assume was the main character when you first started reading? Did you change your mind?
4. Do you consider this to be a 9/11 novel? Why?
5. On page 8, Leslie wonders, "But was [possibility] necessary? . . . Weren't there people, everywhere, who lived without it? Who didn't imagine anything other than what was?" Ultimately, which of the characters are open to possibility, and which aren't?
6. Discuss the marriages in the novel. What do they have in common? In what ways are they different? Which seems healthiest to you?
7. On page 50, Leslie realizes that "she had been asking [Pierce] whether he would come with her into what she thought of as this new life—and that he was telling her no." How does Leslie react to this? Why?
8. In the play, Gabriel says to Anita, "It's what we all feel. We want. Then we want more. It's the human condition" (page 53). Is this true for Leslie, Rafe, Billy, and Sam?
9. What do you think Miller is trying to say about the creation of art and its reflection of real life?
10. The notion of playing a role is a recurrent theme in the novel. Who is most true to his or her authentic self? Who has mastered his or her role? Whose changes most drastically?
11. Why is the Henry James reference in the play (page 54) so important? What was Billy trying to say?
12. When Rafe asks Billy if the play is based on her own life, she insists it isn't autobiographical (page 91). Is she intentionally lying, or is there something else going on here?
13. Why does sleeping with Billy affect Rafe's performance in the play?
14. Both Rafe and Sam see themselves in Gabriel. Which man do you think is more like him? Why?
15. What does Gus represent to Billy? To Leslie? What role does grief play in the novel?
16. Over the course of the novel, various characters note that Billy looks like a child. What does this signify?
17. Why do Sam and Leslie stop at just a kiss (page 224)? What do you think would have happened if they had had an affair?
18. What is the purpose of the scene between Sam and Jerry (pages 247–254)? How does it affect Sam?
19. Why is Billy so frosty when Sam brings his son to see the play (page 265)?
20. On page 278, Leslie thinks, "But that's what the play was about. . . . At least in part. The wish to imagine what life could be, how it could change, if you were unencumbered." What do you think the play was about? Which of the four main characters most wishes for an unencumbered life?
21. Reread the alternate endings Billy considered for the play (page 300). Why do you think she chose to end the play the way she did?
22. On page 319, Miller writes, "Now as Sam sits in his living room, holding the Christmas letter from Emma, thinking of Melanie Gruber, he realizes that he's called her up in part because he feels the same way about Billy, about the accident of Billy's arrival in his life—exactly that surprised." Why does he feel this way? How does it change him?
23. Discuss the ending. Was it satisfying? What do you imagine happens next?

- Double basin sink with a 80/20 split provides increased versatility for any task
- Covered under Kohler's limited lifetime warranty
- The large/medium basins allow you to keep clean and dirty dishes separate, while providing ample room for oversized pots and pans
- Two bottom basin racks, a colander, and a walnut cutting board are included and custom-fit to work perfectly with the sink
- Constructed of enameled cast-iron which combines strength, durability and insulation benefits
- Under-mount installation gives an integrated graceful look to the sink

Product Technologies / Benefits:
- Enameled Cast-Iron: Kohler Enameled Cast-Iron combines the strength, durability, and insulation benefits of cast-iron with the scratch, chip, and burn resistance of a baked, powder coat finish and comes with an exceptional Lifetime Limited Warranty. When these materials are combined it gives the sink or tub the strength to last a lifetime of use. Kohler Enameled Cast-Iron is also available in a wide variety of specialty colors allowing you to truly customize your home.
- Smart Divide: The basin divider is set to a lower height than perimeter of the sink; you gain the convenience of a single basin sink completely filled, without losing the functionality of a double basin sink. The lower divider also gives more room for working with larger pots and pans providing more access for filling and cleaning.
- Height: 9-3/4" (measured from the bottom of the sink to the top most point of the sink)
- Overall Width: 21-1/8" (measured from the back outer rim to the front outer rim)
- Overall Length: 33" (measured from the left outer rim to the right outer rim)

Appears to be better written than Agents of SHIELD anyways.
Here is a new clip from Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. This week Thor joins the Hulks in a brand new episode titled: "Hulks on Ice". Funny how Thor appears on this series as his new movie (Thor: The Dark World) is about to arrive. Well, maybe it is just an amazing coincidence. Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. at a different time this Sunday 7pm/8c.
Episode Synopsis: On "Hulks On Ice", A-Bomb finds himself in the middle of Hulk and Red-Hulk's biggest fight...against each other! Can he stop them from fighting long enough to team up with Thor and prevent Laufey and the Frost Giants from taking over the nine realms? Each of these Heroes must learn to put aside their differences and work together if they want to save the Earth from its ultimate icy doom.

I don't see how it's that surprising when Iron Man and Spiderman have already made appearances. If this episode came out next month then you would of been right.
I agree that was stupid. And although I like Defiance a lot more than agents of shield anyone who thinks this clip is better, I have no idea how you and I could ever like the same things. But to each there own.
My thoughts on this were pretty strong from the start. I still feel the same. The kids seem to enjoy it though.
It's watchable as a show with a same feel for current Spider-kid show. Stories dumbed down way too much, but they are tackling big Marvel threats from the comics. I liked how they made Ego be an extention of a tiny ego about the size of a basketball when they got to the core of Big Ego.
how does junk like this get funding and quality programming like Young Justice and Tron: Uprising get canned? We live in an insane world. Screw the political upheaveal of the United States? What about the DB's in change of programming at Disney XD, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon that don't have our best interests at heart when they make horrible decisions like this?

The estimated costs are replaced with the actual tuition and fee rates for the new school year in the summer when they are set by the NMU Board of Trustees, which usually happens in July. So, using this calculator provides estimates using either current or upcoming rates, depending on when you are activating the calculator.
Transfer Student Net Price Calculator: Will you be a new transfer student at NMU? This calculator is similar to the net price calculator listed above however it has been customized to reflect the needs of a transfer student.
The tools above will provide some estimates about scholarships for students who will be new undergraduate degree-seeking students at NMU (new freshmen and new transfer students). If you have attended NMU as a degree-seeking student in the past, or are seeking a second baccalaureate degree, the scholarship information in the calculator does not apply. Please see the general scholarship site for more information.
Remember, students must complete the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year in order to be eligible for, and receive, an actual financial aid award that includes federal grant, loan or work-study assistance. For more information on applying for federal student aid, please visit http://www.fafsa.gov.
Please note that the estimate provided with either cost calculator does not represent a final determination, actual cost award, financial assistance or a final net price. The estimates are not binding; they are estimates provided in good faith with what information was available at the time. Also, please remember that the price of attendance and financial aid availability change year to year.
