What if we all just lie back and think of England this week with some great selections from across The Pond?
Not sure what this is? Read all about it here.
Welcome to the Full Worm Moon edition of You Are What You Read! I consider this to be the ultimate irony and here's why. The moon is thusly named because of the softening ground and the reappearance of earthworms. As we all now know, this is not the case and may never be the case ever again. We live on the Tundra and that is that. It is also known as the Sap moon because allegedly this is the time when the tree sap begins to flow. People, there is no sap on the Tundra. So let that notion go. I am sure that by now, you, like me are done and undone. I just can't do another week like this one. Phil. Please. We are begging you. Undo the evil that you have wrought. The words of the SoNo Loft are "You are forgiven". I have to believe that these words are in no way directed at Phil. In addition, kindly remember it is Spring Ahead weekend. This will go a long way to sweetening our moods I am sure. Check those batteries in the smoke detector! By the time you all get this, The Fitbit Challenge will be in its death throes and so will its participants. We tip our caps to our Friends at Fairfield; they are not only worthy opponents but just damn fine people! We are honored to be your colleagues in LibraryLand! Be sure you check the service desks next week to find out the outcome. It's been a close one. This week we have some Poland, Germany, Macy's, a whole lotta likker, and a labyrinth of lies!
The Playlist? Of course!
Let us begin!
Laura is here with something that she recently enjoyed. "Ida is a beautiful film about a young woman who was raised by nuns within the safe walls of a Catholic convent located in the countryside of Poland. Her family placed her in the convent soon after World War II when she was a child and it is the only life she has known. The story begins as Ida, now in her twenties, visits her one remaining relative before she takes her vows. When she meets her, Ida is told that she is Jewish. They then strike out to find her childhood home that was stolen away from her family by the Nazis. The black and white cinematography lends beautifully to the story, and complements the harrowing artistic undertone of the film. This is a worthy film to watch for the history alone.
Babs B has just started The Alphabet House by Jussi Adler-Olsen. How goes it Babs? "This is a psychological thriller set in WWII Germany that centers on two British pilots who have been shot down in enemy territory. They know they will be executed if captured, so with an enemy patrol in pursuit they manage to jump aboard a train reserved for Senior SS officers wounded on the Eastern Front. In a state of panic, they throw two dead patients off the train and take their places, hoping they can escape. But that is not to be as they end up in the Alphabet House, a mental hospital located far behind enemy lines where German doctors' experiment on their patients with shock treatments and experimental drugs. The pilots' only hope of survival is to fake insanity until the war ends but they find out they are not the only patients using this ploy. I just started this book last night and hated to put it down!"
Barbara M loves the demented world of David Sedaris. "In December NPR rebroadcast their yearly piece of David Sedaris reading his essay The Santaland Diaries about his experience working as an elf named Crumpet for Macy's Department Store. It is in the Audio book Holidays on Ice and is laugh-out-loud hilarious. In one incident, he recounts how one day 'a woman was standing at one of the cash registers paying for her pictures while her son lies beneath her, kicking and heaving, having a tantrum. The woman said, Riley, if you don't start behaving yourself, Santa's not going to bring you any of those toys you asked for. The child said, he is too going to bring me toys, Liar. He already told me. The woman grabbed my arm, and said you there, Elf, tell Riley here that if he doesn't start behaving immediately, then Santa's going to change his mind and bring him coal for Christmas. I said that Santa changed his policy and no longer traffics in coal. Instead, if you're bad, he comes to your house and steals things. I told Riley that if he didn't behave himself, Santa was going to take away his TV and all his electrical appliances and leave him in the dark. The woman got a worried look on her face and said, all right, that's enough. I said, he's going to take your car and your furniture and all of your towels and blankets and leave you with nothing. The mother said, no, that's enough really.' Although I had read this essay and many others hearing Sedaris read them with his deadpan delivery adds a whole other dimension. For these cold, cold days I've decided that funny is the way to go while driving and am now listening to When You Are Engulfed in Flames. I just worry about laughing too much to concentrate on driving. "
Sweet Ann is back to doing two things at once which I find oddly reassuring. "The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins is a fun thriller. And in the beginning, you can relate to the main character Rachel's obsession of watching people from her daily train commute. However, you quickly realize that Rachel has a drinking problem and is completely obsessed with her ex-husband and his new wife and their baby. There are quite a number of conflicts between Tom, Rachel's ex-husband, and Anna his new wife as Rachel cannot let go of her new lonely existence. There are lies and deceptions throughout this novel as well as a missing woman who lives on the same street as Tom and Anna. This is a novel that you should read with suspended belief and just jump aboard the commuter train and see where it will take you. I am also listening to There was a Little Girl: The Real Story of My Mother and Me by Brooke Shields. This audio book is read by Brooke Shields as she tells about being raised by her mother, Teri, an alcoholic. Her mother tried her best but often her drinking would get in the way of her parenting, whether it was setting bedtimes or routines, or orchestrating Brooke's career. It was an interesting story especially because I remember The Blue Lagoon, the Calvin Klein ads and I did in fact see Brooke on Broadway when she performed in Cabaret. I think Brooke recognized that her mother had flaws and has spent a lifetime coming to terms with her upbringing. This was an enjoyable audio book."
The Ever Delightful Pat S is here with something I have been dying to get my hands on. "Black Diamonds is a must read for all the Downton fans who have just finished season five. Catherine Bailey is back with the tale of a crumbling aristocratic dynasty during the twentieth century, the Earls of Fitzwilliam. With a fortune based in the Sheffield coal industry, the sixth Earl of Fitzwilliam left the second largest inheritance to his heir upon his death in 1902, somewhere in the neighborhood of three billion dollars in today's money. He also left what remains the largest private home in England, with 365 rooms, one for every day of the year. Yet all of this was about to change. The new century would see the collapse of the Yorkshire coal industry, (which is meticulously detailed here) after the most horrific human rights abuses. Oddly enough, the Fitzwilliams were among the best of the land owners, always implementing the newest safety measures in the mines and making genuine strides in quality of life issues in the lives of the miners. But for all the 'nobility' inferred in the Fitzwilliam title of Earl, the lives of the family were a labyrinth of lies, falsehoods and complicated cover-ups! Illegitimacy, alcoholism, chronic philandering, gambling-it's all here, in vivid detail! This will get even the most stalwart fan through the post season letdown!
Here's DJ Jazzy Patty McC as always with some final thoughts about life. What's good Pats? "I've had a Phil update from my weather paranoid friend. The latest email from the band of rogue rodents states that even they are tired of the weather they've inflicted on us so they're migrating to warmer climes while they let the rest of us suffer this unending winter. Since the airlines are no longer letting them board (they've got a beef about that too) they've taken to hopping free rides on birds.
Phil was the last of the rodents to be allowed to board a plane so he hopped down under to enjoy the last days of summer. He's warming his fur and is moving on from his Valentine breakup with Eula. He said he's impersonating one of his friends who has been helping him heal his wounded heart. He's taking selfies with folks all over Australia under the guise of being a quokka. Apparently he's been listening to a LOT of Chet Baker, Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto and I just can't hate on anyone, rodent or otherwise who has this music in their wheelhouse. So if we're going to be stuck indoors let's listen to some great jazz and hope that Phil remembers to set his clock forward.
Stephanie declared to the Meet Us On Main Street group that winter should be over! So she brought, to fulfill that promise, "warm" stories/memoirs that take place far from the Connecticut snow: the island of Majorca, the jungles of Vietnam, the hills of San Francisco, the beach shores of the Caribbean, the steamy nightlife of Mexico City, and, surprisingly, but yes, the bottom of a mineshaft in Chile. What a welcome relief from the cold! The group couldn't have been happier. The final three titles on the list are books the group has read, enjoyed and wanted to share. Start your summer "early" with the list below:

Hi, we are Aurélie and Nic, French people living in Toronto. We are both 28, Nic is a digital designer and Aurélie works for the Canadian Opera. We lived for 3 years in London, UK before moving to Canada. We love Airbnb and are looking forward to meet you and your place!
Nicolas has completed online and offline ID verification.
Nicolas et sa copine sont de très bons invités: agréables, respectueux et discrets. Je les accueillerais de nouveau chez nous avec grand plaisir !
It was lovely to host Nicolas for three days. He was very clean and considerate of the space and left everything just the way he found it. He's a no-fuss guest and is very independent and easy to get along with. Nic, you're welcome back anytime!
I wish I'd had more time to get to know Nic & Aurelie! They were very easygoing, & I felt very comfortable with them. Nic even recognized my artwork, which nobody else has done! They left the apartment in perfect condition & I would recommend them to anyone. Hope our paths will cross again sometime~
Nic and Aurelie were the sweetest guests. They stayed only one night, and we wish they had stayed longer! Considerate, communicative, and clean... what more can you ask for? Highly recommend as your next guests!
:-) Nic's picture makes me laugh. He was easy to host and a great airbnb guest. We'd highly recommend him.
Nicolas and Aurelie are a lovely, friendly couple who enjoyed exploring the Welsh countryside. We would recommend them without reservation.

Flights to Chicago
Flying From Tunis-Carthage International Airport in Tunis
The airport that serves the capital city of Tunisia is called Tunis-Carthage International Airport. As many as 23 airlines use this airport for both international and domestic flights, so just about any of the cheap flights to Tunis available through Orbitz.com will take off from here.

The airport is located seven miles from the city of Tunis, and options for public transportation include the SNT shuttle buses, which cost 0.75 dirham per ride. Luxurious, air-conditioned TUT shuttles cost 1.10 dirhams. Both shuttles stop at central locations in the city and take between 20 and 30 minutes to arrive at the airport. Taxis charge about five to eight dinars for the trip from the center to the airport, depending on the amount of luggage and time of day.
Restaurants at Tunis-Carthage International Airport
The departures hall at the Tunis-Carthage International Airport features restaurants you can access before you complete your security check, as well as cafes you can visit near the airport gates.

Chicago O'Hare International Airport is located on West O'Hare, approximately 18 miles from downtown Chicago.

Summer temperatures in Chicago range from 66 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperatures during the winter months range from 18 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit.

Open Thread. Wanna Help with my Critics Choice Ballot?
Yesterday I shared the eligibility list (not-official, but Nathaniel-created) for an underdiscussed Critics Choice category "Young Actor/Actress" but that's not the only category that the BFCA has that isn't discussed enough to insure widespread careful consideration for a strong lineup. Here are some other categories you can help me with.
FYC your favorites in the comments for the following COMEDY & ACTION categories! We're only allowed 3 votes in each so there are some no brainers for yours truly: Rose Byrne for Comedy Actress (Neighbors) i imagine she's a longshot for a Globe nomination which pisses me off to no end; Emily Blunt for action actress (Edge of Tomorrow); Captain America: Winter Soldier for Action movie... and it's just no contest. Other movies: You got nothing on Cappy in that elevator. Sorry bout it!
BEST ACTOR in an ACTION MOVIE - name AND film
BEST ACTRESS in an ACTION MOVIE - name AND film
BEST ACTOR in a COMEDY - name AND film
BEST ACTRESS in a COMEDY - name AND film
For some reason this one doesn't get acting categories to go with it. I'm a member but the Critics Choice Awards sometimes feel poorly thought out in terms of categories. Either commit or don't, you know?

Got bored with my main champs and decided to try some new champs
Leblancs such a great hero, no idea why no-one plays her
Leblanc is solo mid or solo top material though, in my humble opinion. It depends on the player, but the gank potential is there.
Tohou Radio! ZUN's next masterpiece... Eh? What's that? April fools? God damnit.
From what I understand the problem with LeBlanc is that everything she does Kassadin does better. So... yeah.
Build magic resist instead of making outrageous claims, if you don't counter your opponents you have no valid reason to call anything OP.
Leblanc is also a mage, which means her mid-late game damage is weak compared to most other champions.
that's less about leblanc being OP and more about being out played in a lane(point in case "try her in a duo lane with someone who has cc), the same could be said for many champions.
I could just as easily say Tryndamere is OP because i always see him rape people , despite the fact he is easily shutdown by exhaust and hard CC.
Leblanc is all synergy based too. Your q(insert other ability here) combos will show if you flat out suck, or can play her properly. At end game, your purpose will change slightly, and people will be expecting you to know who to hit with your e for its stun and slow effect.

"Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters."
Isaac Bashevis Singer
"Doubt is to certainty as neurosis is to psychosis. The neurotic is in doubt and has fears about persons and things; the psychotic has convictions and makes claims about them. In short, the neurotic has problems, the psychotic has solutions."
Thomas S. Szasz
"To walk through the ruined cities of Germany is to feel an actual doubt about the continuity of civilization."
George Orwell
"If it doesn't work out there will never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain."
Jimmy Buffett
"Throughout the long period of religious doubt, I had been rendered very unhappy by the gradual loss of belief, but when the process was completed, I found to my surprise that I was quite glad to be done with the whole subject"
Bertrand Russell
"To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing."
Oscar Wilde
"Optimism is a seed sown in the soil of faith; pessimism is a seed hoarded in the vault of doubt."
William Arthur Ward
"When in doubt, do it."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself"
Elbert Hubbard
"Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping."
Ethel Barrymore

I prefer download the videos on hd quality 1920×1080 and then change to the resolution needed acording to the frames. Why ? I'm doing this like that because I notice that if the video have the best quality the final results on the "ported/converted" video to the ps3 theme looks better. BTW : not all my themes are created using videos, I created others by animarted gif like this one.Oh so we can use gifs interesting i will give it a try . I just made a megan fox theme lol waiting for upload but heres preview http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=HL1324054453&v=3jipuJ0gc9I

@for all request I need time because, I'm to busy right now with to much work. I see what I can do in my future creations. All of you can give me ideas I don't have problem with that, the only problem is the time that I don't have much. I have others request like aventure brothers, wwf themes, ff8, and others themes that I want to make first like my special theme created by me and OPTIMUS. That theme right now will consume all the time for me now. If I have time I will continue creating themes requested but one by one appears in my list request according requested in the order, because I like to create themes for the ps3 . I don't know if I can make all but I will doing my best effort
#18 written by OPTIMUS 3 years ago
LOL! Once again, thanks a lot for your unsurpassed enthusiasm, my friend!
You know, that's one of the reasons why I keep making themes even if I'm no longer the same OPTIMUS that everybody knew. And it's a honor for me giving a work of mine to one of the best dynamic themes maker here!
Now, I only hope the background is up to your expectations and you'll like it…
(Uh! I just noticed there are a couple of flaws that I'm going to correct immediately, but it'll be done in time! :P)
So, I'll send you all the material I specifically created (and thanks for trusting me!)Oh, and… HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my friend!
#19 written by FURY 3 years ago
hey brother.. i know i've requested a lot of themes from you that you put on your list but i'd like to ask a huge favor from you.. please create a dynamic theme of Godsmack.. they are my favorite band and i've been wanting a dynamic theme of them for a long time.. i've asked other people on here and they never even replied.. i just don't want to overwhelm you with requests especially considering other people asking you for themes as well which by the way are great themes.. here's a link to the video i would like in the theme – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ofiqDOqW4U
i'd like for you to use drums guitars and the godsmack logo as icons and try to get the godsmack sun logo to rotate in the bottom right corner of the screen..
i'd also like for you to make the video in the theme as long as possible "at least one minute" if you can't it's completely understandable..
if you find a video that you think is better then use that one…
tell me what you think of the idea… i'd be grateful if you could do this….

I made another version of this theme added an effect of blur on the frames to give the effect more realistic and to give the impression that the Joker are really behind the TV. Here is the link : http://www.multiupload.com/MA843I4DGE

KFC's Double Down Equals Triple Bypass
KFC's new bun-less Double Down is here and health experts are calling the 540-calorie sandwich--which replaces bread with two pieces of fried chicken, holding two slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese, two strips of bacon and a creamy sauce--a heart attack waiting to happen. "This is not a healthy choice," Walter Willett, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health, told Associated Press. The Double Down is running in the same caloric class as McDonald's Big Mac or a large order of fries from Burger King. Furthermore with 1380 milligrams of sodium, the Double Down nearly covers the total recommended milligrams of sodium per day (1500). While the sandwich is also available with grilled chicken instead of fried the adjustment doesn't yield any major health gains--reducing the calories to 460 and increasing the sodium to 1430 milligrams. KFC spokesperson Rick Maynard argues that while the Double Down is "more indulgent," the fast food chain does offer lower-calorie items. "That's one of the things that make our restaurants popular," he told the Associated Press. "We have something for everyone." High fast food chain density in Black neighborhoods could mean that many of us will encounter a higher degree of marketing for the bun-less sandwich than others. Meanwhile, one could argue that "everyone" should seer clear of the Double Down. Does KFC have a responsibility to its patrons to stay within reasonable health boundaries? Does the Double Down cross those boundaries? Do you want to try it? Read More:

Right now, Michigan's energy market is dependent on dirty energy imported from other states. We send $1.7 billion a year – and the jobs that money could create– out of state to purchase coal and other energy resources instead of creating clean energy here at home.
Prop. 3 would reinvest that money in local, Michigan businesses and create thousands of new Michigan jobs. As a principal at Four Elements Energy in Lawrence, I have seen firsthand how clean energy can improve the lives of our customers, create jobs, and drive new economic opportunities for our communities.
We need to bring the power back to Michigan. That's why I'm voting for Prop 3.

A battle loop I had created for Xiphon's RPG game. Loops, filled with a desperate energy!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Almost as epic as the title song
This song goes great when you're fighting the Stovefaces, and the Coneheads (I call them Klan knights... get it...?). Point is, they are intimidating to look at, and even more so to fight if you're first starting out, and this song makes it seem that way. They should just call it "Here comes some formidable mother f**kers". Either way, Excellent work!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I really enjoyed listening to this.
A dark, but uptempo song. Not a lot of people can pull that off, but you do. I think it's really good. The choir adds a really dark tone to it as well which I like. At the end though, the fast drumming kicks in for like a second and it feels like it's going to get more uptempo but it goes back to the same tone right before it ends. It doesn't fit in. I suggest you would just take that part away and loop it better. Otherwise I think this piece is great and very well made.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
watched the bar and it was at the end yet i couldn't notice the loop. SHEER AWESOMENESS

Meat: A Benign Extravagance
Simon Fairlie's contribution to the debate over how food choices influence the ecological and socioeconomic health of our communities, collected as sixteen chapters in Meat: A Benign Extravagance, probably will, as the foreword predicts, impact the future of sustainable agriculture. The scope of the project is grand, and Fairlie presents what appears to be both thorough research and sound reasoning regarding several interrelated issues. His readable, likeable style, and mostly objective tone, have led reviewers to interpret his findings in contradictory ways (i.e., we should cut back on meat/we should eat meat), which actually may be a testament to the book's value.
Jonathan Safran Foer (01/19/2011)
Jonathan Safran Foer spoke about the issues in his most recent book Eating Animals to a packed house at the London School of Economics. I haven't read the book yet, or either one of his other two titles Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, so I went bracing for a preachy rally full of vegetarian dogma.
Ham: An Obsession with the Hindquarter
Finally, a cookbook with some pizazz! Ham: An Obsession with the Hindquarter was written by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, food lovers, life partners, and exactly the kind of people who could breathe life into the sometimes stale world of food writing.
The Butcher and the Vegetarian: One Woman's Romp through a World of Men, Meat, and Moral Crisis
Food writer Tara Austen Weaver was raised in a vegetarian home since her birth. As an adult, she unexpectedly gets diagnosed with thyroid disease. What's she to do? Fast for forty days? No. Go macrobiotic? Nope, not that either. Instead, Weaver must eat meat—by doctor's order. So she turns to a carnivorous diet. What unfolds is part chick lit-cookbook and part treatise on farm animal rights. Weaver's introduction to the world of animal flesh brings her into contact with many meat-industry types. Some she casts in an ethical light. These include kind butchers and organic cattle ranchers.
Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism
I will say it, here and now: I eat meat. Now that I have announced that, I fear that Melanie Joy will fly through my window to tell me how the meat industry recapitulates Nazism. Okay, I don't really. But you catch my drift: this woman is serious. As a person with very close vegetarian friends, and who has also purchased, prepared, eaten, and enjoyed seitan, quorn, and tofu, I would say that I have a decent understanding of vegetarianism without actually practicing it. I am not convinced, however, that Joy's book offers much that is new to the vegetarian rhetoric.
Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession
Julie Powell wrote a blog called the Julie/Julia Project, which was turned into a book entitled Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously, and last summer Julie & Julia hit the big screen as a movie featuring Meryl Streep.

Best way to start learning C
Hey you all,
This is my first post on these forums. I need to start learning C , what do you think the best way to program in C on the macbook (not pro) is? I have xcode, ,but is there a better way to go about learning other than using a IDE or all in one program? Thanks all! j03 |

Get a vim cheatsheet, use that to edit your source files.
#include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("Hello World!\n"); return 0; } gcc -o helloworld helloworld.c ./helloworld XCode can handle C fine, but you will find vi(m) on most any unix-like system, and likely have cc or gcc available for compilation. Good luck! Have fun! -Lee |

open Terminal.app and start typing
(Alongside C, you should also learn the OS X unix environment. The terminal provides a shell to the OS. Once you learn your way around the shell, you'll find it to be the most powerful tool at your disposal) vim is a "modal" text editor found on all unix systems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_%28text_editor%29 A vim cheatsheet is a list of all the commonly used keystrokes. It's a bit unintuitive at first, but the effort spent in learning vi (or emacs) pays off handsomely in the long term. Alternatively you could just skip vim for now, and edit your C-source in any text editor of your choice (like TextEdit.app).

I'm going to have to disagree with starting with Xcode for your first program. It's like using a high-powered laser cannon to open a can. Someday when you need to open a 20-story can, you might start considering the laser, but for your first program I would stick to a can opener.
A vi(m) cheatsheet can be be found here: http://www2.cs.uidaho.edu/~rinker/ed03.pdf To run vim you'll need to open terminal in OS X. from there, you can start with: vi helloworld.c This will open vi with a new document called helloworld.c. Open a second terminal window with ctrl+n. In the vim window, enter (i)nsert mode with the i key. Then type: Code:
#include <stdio.h> int main(int argc,char *argv[]) { printf("Hello World!\n"); } In your second terminal window, enter: gcc -o helloworld helloworld.c ./helloworld The commands in vim will be confusing at first. However, knowing how to use this editor, if you will ever work on another unix-like system, will be invaluable. For starters what's in this post, plus :q to quit are all you'll need. You can then move on to deleting characters, words, etc. Eventually working up to replacement, undo and redo, etc. |

I guess I feel this way about IDEs:
you should be able to use an IDE, you shouldn't need to use one. I doubt the original poster cares much about any of this. either path should reach the same goal, I was trying to suggest what I believe leads to the most versatility. -Lee |

Well, this is a good way of putting it. Is using xCODE the same as trying to make a website in dreamweaver:design view and terminal more like hand coding a website (the right way a website is created) ?
I just don't want to jump down the xcode path and then always have to use that in order to program c. I mean I'm sure if i start with just the xcode path to get down some basics then try to figure out terminal and then work then together ? Does that sound better? Thanks for all the replies too btw. |

Perhaps it's a generational thing, but I find that to be much more the case with IDE's. Once you've learned how to use the shell, it's practically universal across all systems. IDE's have a lot in common, but you find yourself having to learn each one anew.

My real reasoning here is that someday you might want to write something somewhere other than your mac. If that's the case, XCode is likely unavailable. I think the same way about Visual Studio, etc. There are times when, in languages like Java or C#, I feel like working without an IDE is much trickier. Mostly because of the breadth of their class libraries and "code completion" features that IDEs have. I think the important thing is you just start programming in either environment, and if you want to switch later, you should be fine. If you want to use XCode as your editor, but still compile and run your program in the command line so you don't have to use vi, that's great. The only pitfall I would try to avoid is taking the power of XCode for granted. You enter your source, and then you press the "build and go" button, and that's it. You don't know what it did, but your program ran. I think it's important to know the mechanics. Good luck, if you have any issues getting started browse the forums and if you can't come up with anything post. People here are glad to help. -Lee |

trying to do exercise from chapter 13 of a book on programming with objective-c
1. write a function that calculates the average of an array of 10 floating-point values and returns the result. i have the function to get the average i think? i tried to put 10 elements into an array, and then tried to print the average at the end of the program. here is the function for my program. float average (float data[]) { int i; float sum, average; for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) sum += data[i]; average = sum / 10; return average; } here are the error messages i am getting when i try to run my test program which i called exc1chap13.m exc1chap13.m:5: error: syntax error before } token exc1chap13.m: In function average: exc1chap13.m:19: error: nested functions are disabled, use -fnested-functions to re-enable exc1chap13.m:23: error: syntax error at end of input and here is my test program #import <stdio.h> float data [10] = { 10, 5, -3, 17, 82, 9, 0, 0, 8, -7 }; } float average (float data[]) { int i; float sum, average; for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) sum += data[i]; average = sum / 10; return average; int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { printf ("the average of the array is %i\n", average); } if i don't get an answer: error messages exc1chap13.a.m: In function main: exc1chap13.a.m:7: error: syntax error before { token exc1chap13.a.m:10: error: conflicting types for average exc1chap13.a.m:7: error: previous definition of average was here exc1chap13.a.m:12: error: syntax error before for test program: #import <stdio.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) float average (float data[]) { int x[10] = {3, 7, -9, 3, 6, -1, 7, 9, 1, -5); int i; float sum, average; for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) sum += data[i]; average = sum / 10; printf ("the average of the array is %i\n", average); return average; } |

Depends on the type of C programming you are going to do. If you are going to just write command line apps, then XCode is overkill. But if you plan to use C as the Controller piece of a large app, then XCode would be your best bet.
It boils down to needs.

May I ask why you want to learn C instead of C++? C++ is better than C in every way, so learning C is backwards seeming.

You might also ask yourself: What is the value of "sum" before you start adding data values to it?

That is a highly subjective opinion you have there. Besides, learning C first is not backwards, since C++ is a superset of C. You have to know C to know C++, whether you realize it or not. If the OP wants to learn Objective-C eventually, learning C++ first would be overkill.

Perhaps he wants to program a microcontroller or write real-time software or become a "kernel hacker". There was a thread here yesterday about learning asembly language. I've been working in software development for a few years (going back to the 70s) and I can count the number of desktop GUI apps I've written at maybe four total. |

C++ can be a very elegant and powerful tool in the right hands. When wielded by the inexperienced programmer, it often leads to buggier, more brittle, less maintainable, and less comprehensible code. C++ increases the number of subtleties, traps, pitfalls, and gotchas by an order of magnitude over pure C. IMHO, best to make all the beginner mistakes in C before moving on to making varsity mistakes in C++. Besides, for operating systems, compilers, real-time and embedded software, even the bulk of open-source application software, a facility with C and the C APIs remain a pre-requisite.

It's not an issue to ask, but is presumptuous to state that C++ is better in every way. It also seems to me that learning C++ first is backwards, being that C++ is nearly a superset of C. Learning addition before algebra is not backwards. |

Use XCode. Don't waste time with VIM or any other editors some "hardcore programmer" will guide you to. You'll know when you need to learn such a thing, but not when you are starting.

Heres my take on learning C.
Start out with just text editor or just a syntax highlighting text app and learn the basics. In formal school training, we were not allowed to use high functionality IDE's for the first 2 quarters because they wanted us to get the basics with our first assignments. It really does help you actually understand things better and once you starting using IDE's. Once you feel good programing some simple stuff in text editors and remembering code syntax and form, then you can start trying some IDE's and watch how they really help large projects come together by helping you find built in functions quickly and help you code quicker. Many say only true hardcore programmers know how to code in straight text. That is true to some degree, but it is a waste of time once you have an idea what your doing. IDE's can save lots of time by helping you debug quicker and identify errors. Your end goal should also to not just be able to program, but to be able to program with efficient use of memory and performance (algorithm timing and complexity). As for starting out though, it really does help to learn the basics through just text editing. As for languages, C is one the best ways to start out programming. Once you learn it this way, you appreciate any newer languages. Also, once you learn one high level language, the others come really easy after that. |

I humbly disagree with most of the comments here.
I don't recommend VIM and don't recommend Xcode either. I do recommend using TERMINAL and learning at least the basic Bash Shell commands to list directory contents (ls) and change directories (cd). Now, install the free and wonderful TextWrangler (google it) including the command line tools. You can then type "edit hello.m" at the command line. In exchange for this little tidbit of information, I need help from the pros. I am STILL stick on pointers. I know what they are in C but I am confused by how they are used when creating and referencing objects in ObjC. When do I use the * and when do I not in ObjC (not C)?? Why does the * sometimes exist on its own?? It is terribly confusing. PLEASE HELP. ANYONE! None of the web pages or text books explain this well. It must be a conspiracy or something! Haha. Thanks! |

As for TextWrangler, if you will only program on the Mac, I'm sure it would fit the bill. TextWrangler is not cross platform, though. That's the only reason I will, stubbornly and annoyingly, continue to insist on vim. -Lee |

I have used Sea Foam in the past by inducing it thru the brake booster vacuum hose with mixed results. Is there any harm to suck in the Sea Foam directly thru the intake hose downstream of the mass flow sensor, maybe thru the hose going into the valve cover. I'm thinking this might help clean out the throttle plate and other intake areas that don't get coated via the brake booster hose. Any concerns ?
On my model the brake vacuum line connection is over the #3 cylinder. I noticed it atfer I did it that way. It helped a little. I had to pour a bottle down my TBI half down on side half down the other.Then ran a bottle in the gas tank. It worked great better starts,idle,even the mgp picked up a few 10ths. I did have to reset the computer cuz it went waco, And I let it set a 2 hours. I cant see what it would hurt sucking it in were ever you can.That might be the best way. I would get a bottle in the tank too. Good Luck..
Go to there website, theres a video on how to do that. They have a can of seafoam with a tube to install just in front of the throttle body.
seafoam use I forgot to mention in my last post that 3M makes a kit part # 8963 that has a throttle body cleaner, intake manifold cleaner and a fuel tank additive , cost about $50.00. I use it once a year in all my trucks, just BEFORE I do an oil change so I dont contaminate my new oil.
or, you can buy a can of seafoam that's compressed in an aerosol can. It's called Deep Creep. Just spray it and away it goes!
I have the best luck with SeaFoam pouring it in the throttle body. The Vortecs have a small hole in the throttle plate. When the SF goes in that hole, it gets sucked through very quickly which helps to atomize it better. I also pour some down the Idle Air port, works just as well. I put the SF in, shut the truck down for a couple hours. Then take it for a ride and open it up a few times. BTW, you want to start with a hot motor.

Anglers are concerned that a permit to expand a fish hatchery may threaten the Au Sable River. Field and Stream named this the No.1 fly-fishing locale in the nation in 2011.
No one ever thinks much about fish poop. But recently anglers and environmental advocates have waded deep into the issue.
Anglers are worried that a recently issued Department of Environmental Quality permit could send the most economically significant river in the state - the Au Sable - down the toilet.
The permit allows Harrietta Hills Grayling fish hatchery owner Dan Vogler - who is leasing the property for $1 a year from Crawford County - to increase fish production on the nearly century-old facility from 20,000 pounds to about 300,000 pounds. ...

NONE, Dunsparce looks better
Fire turtle Torkoal, Ground hippo Hippowdon, Ground croc Krokorok.....GF doesn't always take animal habitat into consideration when designing a pokemon based on an animal. That said, ground is always a possible option for Fennekin.
I still think they will pull a gen2 on us this time around and give us pure type final forms. They can still imply a secondary type by adding a lot of attacks of a certain type on their movepool. For example Fennekin's final form can still be a pure fire type, but have a loads of psychic moves and have a high sp. attack to support that.
I still can't see any of the starter forms having Dark as their secondary type.

Being a Grass type lover, I think Grass/Dark would be interesting indeed for Chespin's evos...but am slightly worried about how many weaknesses it would carry, I mean Grass already has the most weaknesses of any type in Fire, Bug, Flying, Ice and Poison, most of those are really common offensive types and a secondary Dark type would add a Fighting type weakness and instead of negating any of Grass' weaknesses, it would ADD to them, turning it's bug weakness in 4x as effective, which would be a nightmare for it.
Fire, Flying, Ice, Bug, Poison and Fighting type weaknesses?
I'll pass, thanks!
I am so so so hoping that they don't screw up Chespin. I really disliked Torterra because it was too...brown, lol. I like my Grass types to be beautiful.
I hope they make Chespin's evos spiny, but slim and agile. I've seen some fan art of Chespin's evos going all bulking and looking more like an Excadrill. Whilst Excadrill is awesome, I would really like Chespin to more go the way of Sceptile than Torterra.
Atm, I am ashamed to say I am leaning more towards Fennekin. I have often chose the Fire type starter in the past, and yeah, I'm just a sucker for canine Pokemon =/

Back before Diamond/Pearl came out, there was this rumor that the starters would be Dark, Psychic, and Fighting. Somebody even made fake Pokemon to match: a Dark cat, a Fighting kangaroo, and a Psychic rhinoceros. But then CoroCoro came out and disproved it with Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. But ever since then people have been obsessed with the idea. There were numerous Dark/Fighting/Psychic rumors during Black/White's reveal period too. Maybe the obsession didn't originate with those fakes though; for all I know the fakes were playing on the obsession rather than the obsession originating from it.
Formerly known as Jigglychu.
Chespin: Grass/Steel
Fennekin: Fire/Psychic
Froakie: Water/Fighting
Hi all, long time lurker just coming in to discuss Gen VI.
After my first few viewings I liked Fennekin the most followed by Froakie. I didn't really like Chespin but even in just a day it's grown on me, especially after realizing its a hedgehog/porcupine and seeing some awesome fake evos for it. Like pretty much everyone I'm desperately hoping Fennekin's not part fighting, but atleast it appears to be able to learn psychic moves
Quoting myself:
As you can see it is just a theory, but if it is correct then Froakie turning into a Water/Fighting is really possible. Also, Froakie's design may not imply it is a Fighting type, because it probably won't be at that stage. But my guess is that as it evolves the white on its hands will become boxing gloves and it will have a more fierce look, or maybe it will become a prince warrior like many have said, with the white foam on its back turning into a cape.
So yeah, there is a good chance that Froakie will eventually be Water/Fighting.
I think Fennekin might be a possible fire/flying type at it's final evolution, just look at all the wing shapes that went into it's design.
Chespin on the other had seems like it might evolve into a grass/steel Knight-Like pokemon.
As for Frokie, I just hope it looks significantly better in it's final stage.
Some generic words, will change eventually.
Just imagine if we had a repeat of generation two with no second typing. Not expecting it in the slightest but I would actually find that interesting.
Haven't been on here since X&Y came out.
The opposing Metagross used Giga Impact!
Yeah, okey, a lot of people already said this but, Froakie's gotta go water/fighting if not through the "Journey to the west" route, then this thing can go "Jiraiya the frog sage" or atleast that's what I'm really hoping.
other than that I'm holding out for Fennikin to be /psychic or /Ghost, though I wouldn't be against /ground.
That all being said, /ground sounds the most reasonable for Mr. Chestnut, but if the other two went Fighting and Psychic, then it would be great for it to go /dark, if for no other reason than to finish the other triangle.
I was just thinking about the psychic/dark/fighting thing.. If Fennekin is the psychic one (cause we already have a dark fox and 100000 fire/fighting starters), these leaves dark and fighting to chespin and froakie.. Now, if froakie is the Dark one, the three of them will be doubletype weak one to another, they will balanced someway, one will be terribly disadvantaged to the second and terribly advantaged to the third (let's also count that water starters can all learn ice moves against grass and that the fighting one may learn the ice/fire/thunder punch moves and the all thing becomes totally caos------> nope!)..So at the end we have grass/dark, fire/psychic and water/fighting, some problems here too.. First chespin would be weak to 6 types and one of them is 4x. Second Fennekin would be weak to 5 types. Third, a water/fighting starter would finally be cool, but let's be honest they will never make another froggish pokemon be. I mean, I don't know why all this excitement for those types.. I would prefer them pure grass/fire/water..

What if only one starter has a second type like what they did with gen 5? If only one starter would have a secondary type, I think it would be Chespin. It looks like it can also be a dark, fighting or ground type. The others look to basic to have another type, but I can sort of see Froakie being Fighting or Ice.
Haven't been on here since X&Y came out.
The opposing Metagross used Giga Impact!
I still think Froakie will be Water/Electric or maybe Water/Ice if that white stuff turns into snow.
As much as people want it, Psychic/Dark/Fighting isn't going to happen. The only plausible type combos leave Chespin with Dark type, which would make it 4x weak to Bug, one of the most common types towards the beginning of the game. GF wouldn't screw Chespin over THAT bad, as they've obviously learnt their lesson.

First of all the good. The decor is the nicest i've seen in Bangkok. They hit the mark on achieving the 1920's theme in Shanghai. The actual women props situated throughout the place decked out in their Chinese garb makes up for lulls in the lack of walk-in eye candy. The drinks are good. This is definitely a cocktail place so venture out away from the usual beer if that's your drink of choice. The place didn't strike me as a pickup joint unless you hang out around the bar area. The table gatherings are fairly intimate and not something you could just crash and seem to be more reserved for a group of 4+ people to chat among themselves.
Okay the bad... the music was horrible! What do you think you'll hear when I described the theme above? I bet you would not have guessed some electro autotuned guy singing god knows what on a mic! I mean could they have picked any less of a theme than what they were trying to achieve? Anything else would have been better than an autotune singer! I would have liked to have heard the nice piano they got in the place backed up by some jazz ensemble .
I'll go back and I am hoping the music selection was a lapse in judgment on the theme otherwise may not be repeating visits subsequently.

Rohde & Schwarz achieves LTE-A Cat6 carrier aggregation full stack throughput using R&S CMW500 and Qualcomm Gobi 9x35 chipset
Munich, Feb 27, 2014 - Rohde & Schwarz and Qualcomm Technologies have successfully demonstrated the ability of the latest Qualcomm Gobi chipset to sustain full protocol stack data rates for LTE category 6 (Cat6). This milestone gives mobile operators a clear path to the commercial launch of LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation.
In a joint effort, Rohde & Schwarz and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), have extensively tested the user plane throughput of the new Qualcomm® Gobi™ 9x35 chipset in compliance with 3GPP Release 10 for LTE-Advanced. In the setup on display at Mobile World Congress, the R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester from Rohde & Schwarz simulates the LTE-Advanced network. As the only platform in the industry that combines RF and protocol tests with Cat6 IP throughput measurements, the tester supports full stack verification up to the application layer in a single box.
Results showed that in addition to supporting the aggregation of two component carriers (each with a bandwidth of 20 MHz) and delivering a 300 Mbps data rate in the downlink, the Gobi 9x35 chipset also provides extraordinary stability. User equipment based on the chipset will enable mobile operators worldwide who have acquired additional segmented spectrum to offer their subscribers higher peak data rates in future applications. With this achievement, Rohde & Schwarz and Qualcomm Technologies provide benefits across the entire supply chain and speed up the commercial launch of LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation functionality.
The R&S CMW500 is the perfect choice for test labs seeking maximum flexibility in measurement equipment. The wideband radio communication tester offers the performance necessary for advanced testing of the required 300 Mbps data rate up to the IP level for Cat6 in the downlink. It also supports two 20 MHz component carriers in the downlink – including 2x2 or 4x2 MIMO – without any band or bandwidth restrictions. Before now, scenarios for LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation were usually implemented with two 10 MHz component carriers and 150 Mbps total data rate in the downlink (category 4). Devices operating to Cat6 performance standards make it possible to double this data rate.
The options for RF tests and protocol tests for LTE-Advanced downlink carrier aggregation for LTE FDD and LTE TDD are now available from Rohde & Schwarz. The setup is on display at the Rohde & Schwarz booth C40 in hall 6 at Mobile World Congress 2014.

Making Cell Phones Talk Same Language

Nokia's campaign for open mobile architecture draws wait-and-see attitude.
Nokia Corp.s multicompany initiative to make cell phone platforms compatible with one another via an open architecture has the potential of making communication easier for customers. But critics say the initiative smacks of a Microsoft Corp.-like desire on Nokias part to control the industry. The initial members of the initiative, which Nokia announced last week at Comdex here, constitute carriers and handset makers, including AT&T Wireless Services Inc., Cingular Wireless, NTT DoCoMo Inc., Fujitsu Ltd., Motorola Inc., Nokia, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Sony Corp., Ericsson AB, Toshiba Corp. and the Symbian Ltd. consortium.
"These companies will drive and support an open mobile architecture for the whole of the communications industry," said Jorma Ollila, chairman and CEO of Nokia, in Espoo, Finland.
The initiative, which is still vague, will be based on current mobile industry standards and protocols such as Extensible HTML, Multimedia Messaging Service, Synch ML, Java and the Symbian operating system. It is also based on Global System for Mobile Communications, the network that prevails in Europe and is starting to get more of a foothold in the United States with the recent adoption by Cingular and AT&T. There is no clear time frame for the platform that will be born of the initiative. Nokia is spearheading these efforts. The company announced last week that it will start licensing some of its core source codethe Series 60 software platform, which includes an HTML browser and back-end software. Series 60 runs on the Symbian operating system. Ollila said the goal of the initiative is to open up the mobile phone market because customers will be more likely to adopt a platform that everyone supports. "The business environment is like an ecosystem," Ollila said. "When all things are in balance, there is room for everyone." But not everyone was invited to join the initiative, which so far lacks any software companies other than Symbian. Most notably missing from the list is Microsoft and its Stinger operating system. This is largely due to the fact that Nokias "license our client-side and our back-end software" approach closely resembles Microsofts "license our Stinger software as well as our back-end Mobile Internet Server software" approach. Officials at the Redmond, Wash., company saw similarities between its strategy and Nokias, but company officials said they are not intimidated. "Theres a difference," said Ed Suwanjindar, product manager for the mobility group at Microsoft. "We have some degree of expertise in the management of data. Their back-end properties are hazy. Its as though theyre arguing about how to make the next version of DOS work when were about to launch Windows." Palm Inc. also was not invited to join the initiative, although Palm OS has the potential to succeed in the smart-phone market if Handspring Inc.s Treo phone takes off when it is launched next year. Handspring officials doubted Nokias attempt to influence the industry by licensing its software to everyone will succeed. "There isnt an opportunity to be the Microsoft of the cell phone," said Jeff Hawkins, CEO of Handspring, at Comdex. Industry observers, though, say that Nokia seems to be trying to do just that. The initiative is based on Symbian, an operating system launched by a consortium of Nokia, Motorola and Erics-son but primarily supported by Nokia. Ollila said that while the Series 60 source code is based on Symbian, the initiatives platform would be operating system-independent. At a Nokia-sponsored dinner meeting here last week, several company executives said that part of the initiatives goal was to get the whole industry to adopt the Symbian operating system. An initial version of Symbian designed for handheld computers failed to take off, but this initiative could give it new life in cell phones. "I think Symbian is becoming a Nokia operating system," said Ken Dulaney, an analyst at Gartner Inc., in San Jose, Calif.

Others say an open platform is a nice idea, butNokias source code licensing asidetheyll believe it when they see it. "I cant get excited about a press release," said Erich Berman, advanced technology consultant at Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., in Milwaukee, and an eWeek Corporate Partner. "Initiatives are launched on paper all the time, and then they just roll off the side. I want to see some concrete results."
