Adorable, slim, petite hazel-eyed, 52, with MS degree in holistic nutrition. For peace of mind, companionship and romance. Can you relate? Up to date photos which portray a true YOU! I'm told my photo doesn't do me justice but it is recent. Honest replies are appreciated and will be responded in kind. The thing I want most in a relationship is equality and a man who has an air of confidence and is really ready to take a chance again. I enjoy many activities especially listening to live rock music in little clubs like the Tin Angel, World Cafe Live, etc. Some of my favorites are Dave Matthews, Tea Leaf Green, Bob Weir and RatDog, Wilco, Gov't. Mule, Zimmy (Bob Dylan), Neil Young (with and without C, S, and N), Clapton, Bruce Springsteen and my absolute favorite Philly guys, Hall and Oates. I also enjoy walking and bursts for exercise (especially on Radnor Trail), theatrical shows, trips to anywhere (especially to stay in quaint little B and Bs in cute towns off the beaten trail as opposed to big hotels in big cities -- but I could get used to nicer places), healthy and ethnic cooking/dining and of course with great wine or beer. I enjoy the usual movies and watching sports, especially when the Philly teams are winning. I'm really pretty flexible, kind, thoughtful and easy to get along with.

In his classic Guitar World column, Steve Vai teaches you ear training.
Nita Strauss and Courtney Cox show you how they play Iron Maiden's "The Trooper."
Plus: How to play Niccolo Paganini's fifth caprice in A minor.
In this lesson I discuss a few options I use when playing over dominant 7 chords. I'll take you through a methodical process of using scales that progressively use more and more dissonant notes. It will be this intermingling of consonant and dissonant sounds that will add a lot of interesting elements to your playing and give your solos the contrast that will keep your audience listening.
As you've probably already heard, we have a new guitarist, Chris Broderick [Nevermore, Jag Panzer]. Chris is heavily influenced by Marty Friedman, which is great, because Megadeth play more music from that era of the band than any other and I've always liked that particular style.
Many of us fall into the trap of practicing the same old stuff over and over again. This is why so many players find they hit a point where they don't get better. This has nothing to do with age or physical limitations; it's because they are not practicing or challenging themselves. They are doing nothing but maintaining.
When you're recording, you can use all kinds of exotic instruments for embellishing sections of a song. But you probably would like to be able to recreate your recorded performance live. It would be cool to be playing something on a six-string and have certain notes of the melody jump out with a 12-string sound and attack.
These videos and audio files are bonus content related to the Holiday 2014 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now or at the Guitar World Online Store.
In this Monster Lick, I'm incorporating the diminished 7th scale in the key of E minor. Don't be fooled by the way I'm playing this lick. I'm targeting a heavy sound and style, but you can just as easily use this combination for blues or jazz. You should be able to hear these qualities in the lick when you watch the slow demonstration in the video below.
When learning how to play jazz guitar, many of us know we need to learn scales, arpeggios and chords, but we are sometimes stuck when looking for jazz tunes to learn that are appropriate for our level of development. In this lesson, you will check out five introductory jazz tunes, each focusing on specific concepts that will help you develop strong jazz-guitar fundamentals while expanding your repertoire.
Here's a brand-new edition of Betcha Can't Play This featuring New York City guitarist Elliott Klein. Try your hand at his monster Lydian shred lick below!
I'm talking about the unmistakable signature graphics on the guitars of "Mr. Scary," A.K.A. George Lynch. But the graphics are not nearly as recognizable as Lynch's frighteningly unique phrasing, tone and vibrato. Since the early 1980s, soulful shred Sensei George Lynch has challenged the boundaries of his abilities, constantly evolved with the times and kept his playing fresh.

SEATTLE — Scores of same-sex couples crowded Seattle City Hall for a day of wedding ceremonies Sunday, the first day they could marry after the state's voter-approved same-sex marriage law took effect.
While weddings were taking place across the state, both private and public, the city hall weddings were the largest public event, with about 140 couples taking part. The city set up five chapels to accommodate the revelers. Starting at 10 a.m., cheers and applause regularly broke out as another couple's marriage became official.
After couples married, they exited city hall, greeted by a steady rain and by dozens of supporters who cheered them with shouts of "congratulations" and flowers.
"I don't even have words for this," said Caren Goldenberg of Seattle, who married her partner of seven years, Casey Evans. "It just makes me really proud of my city."
Mayor Mike McGinn, who greeted couples at they arrived, called it a "great day, a joyous day."
"It's really wonderful," he said. "A new civil right is going to be recognized in this great civil institution."

Probably SMG with the Fire bullets --- 1000/1000 on Dynasty Warriors Gundam 1/2/3 I am a True Gundam Dynasty Warrior!!! | |
In my opinion; Pistols; Shepherd Shotgun; the laser one, if you can buy the shark attack dlc or whatever, get that one. SMG; idk never really use em, I used to use the first one, the last upgrade gives inferno bullets. Assault Rifle; Everyone disagrees here but most people seem to agree that the KRUKOV with infinite grenades is the best. When you crouch you can shoot like 6 grenades per second, it's crazy. Some people say the KRUKOV sucks cause it's damage but so do the other Assault Rifles damage compared to the other weapons. I never use a rifle unless it's to use the grenade launcher. Special weapon?; RC gun, got a V-TOL following you? No problem just zap it and take it over. You can use it's weapons and everything, then just hit Y and blow it up. Launcher; I believe without the Genki dlc the Annihilator is the only thing available. Melee; I prefer the Penetrator. 8) --- It puts the lotion on its skin. GT/PSN: RUNwhenCOPScome | |
Not sure if it's the best, but the SMG that sets your enemies on fire is incredibly fun. --- XBoxGT, PSN: GaTechGrad | |
Yes they are but they are extremely weak, but FUN! --- It puts the lotion on its skin. GT/PSN: RUNwhenCOPScome | |
I honestly prefer the Kobras for the pistols. Mainly because I like having a silenced handgun --- ||AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE @3.4GHZ || Asus M4A87TD/USB3|| CM960 II Advanced || 4GB || ATI RADEON 6670HD 1GB || Win7 64Bit GT: Plizmatic Pain | |
All the weapons are equally powerful, it just depends on how you use them. --- And crawling, on the planet's face, some insects, called the human race. Lost in time, and lost in space... and meaning. | |
I prefer the sheperd with the explosive rounds blows guards and their shields away it also allows you to juggle bad guys in the air. --- Live GT: Curtald420 | |
Some minor spoilers. Pistols- The one that gets the silencer. I just like silencers. Played as a Bames Jond...Er, James Bond styled character with it. SMG- I like the Blossom for looks. Rifles- When STAG is around, the laser gun. Otherwise, the one with the grenade launcher. Explosive-Satchel charges are fun, but they seem to have a timed fuse if you don't set it off. Special- Situation dependent. If I'm on zombie island, doing a last stand with 3 followers, the airstrike. Fighing off cops? Reaper drone. Fighing off the army? RC gun. Don't like the pulse/airgun. The Cyber (come on, its the megaman buster) buster is fun, but... The sniper should have been in the explosive slot | |
Hey how do u use the grenade launcher upgrade? --- ||AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE @3.4GHZ || Asus M4A87TD/USB3|| CM960 II Advanced || 4GB || ATI RADEON 6670HD 1GB || Win7 64Bit GT: Plizmatic Pain |

High Fuel Prices Cut Volunteer Firefighters' Response
WASHINGTON _ Now that diesel prices have jumped well beyond $4 a gallon, the volunteer rescuers who protect most of the United States have begun rethinking how they respond to emergencies.
In state after state, fire chiefs are leaving fuel-guzzling pumpers and ladder trucks back at the station. They're cutting out-of-town training for firefighters. They're dipping into equipment budgets to save money and clustering errands to save mileage.
In one Pennsylvania department, firefighters even skip community parades because they can't afford to drive the routes.
"We made the decision earlier this year," said Ed Mann, who volunteers as the assistant chief in Mifflin County, Pa., where he's also the state fire commissioner.
"The costs of fuel right now, it's like a trickle-down effect everywhere," Mann said.
The problems are the same across the country, where more than two-thirds of the geography is protected by an estimated 800,000 volunteers. Most of them work in rural areas, where they must drive long distances to emergencies and often rely on donations from spaghetti dinners and bingo nights.
"A lot of these (departments) are already struggling financially," said David Finger, the vice president for government affairs for the National Volunteer Fire Council in Washington. "This is just heaped on top of it."
Urban departments often are run by career firefighters and funded by city governments.
But in most of the United States, volunteers are the ones who throw on heavy suits and hop onto trucks to respond to emergencies ranging from forest fires to car wrecks to medical calls.
Even their smallest vehicles _ pickups or SUVs _ get less than 20 miles to the gallon. Ladder trucks get much less.
"Some of these big trucks, they only get three or four miles to the gallon," said Kenn Fontenot, the assistant chief of the LeBlanc Volunteer Fire Department in south-central Louisiana and a state director for the National Volunteer Fire Council.
"They cost $600 to $700 to fill up," he said. "That's some money right there."
Fontenot's station doesn't send its big rig on calls anymore. No pumper either. Instead, it sends out the smaller service truck.
In Walkertown, N.C., Chief Wesley Hutchins is already 56 percent over his $500,000 annual budget this year because of fuel costs.
"We just didn't anticipate gas prices going that high," he said.
These days, Hutchins isn't out checking on hydrant maintenance as he used to. He won't let his firefighters take the pumper to the grocery store. As other states are, he's leaving the big trucks at the station for many emergencies.
"It's just a different way of thinking," Hutchins said. "As a citizen, you expect us to be there to throw everything we've got at it, and if we're scrimping on fuel, it's up to the federal government to help."
Several efforts in Congress are trying to ease the struggles of volunteer firefighters.
Sen. Bob Casey and Rep. Jason Altmire, both Pennsylvania Democrats, introduced legislation this week that would set up federal grants for fire stations within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grants would reimburse volunteer fire departments up to 75 percent of the difference between current fuel prices and those in December 2007.
Casey estimates that the program would cost $50 million a year.
"What is the cost of not doing it?" Casey asked. "I don't want some rural family on some rural road experiencing a fire and a vehicle running out of gas and someone dying."
Another bill, by Republican Rep. John Boozman of Arkansas, would allow tax deductions for volunteer firefighters' travel expenses for their personal vehicles of up to $250 when they respond to emergencies.
Rep. Robin Hayes of North Carolina, a Republican, has a bill to increase mileage-rate tax deductions for firefighters responding to emergencies from 14 cents a mile to 44.5 cents.
In Pennsylvania, state commissioner Mann said the state was surveying all its fire and emergency medical-services units about their fuel usage in the past year, hoping to understand trends and develop ideas to save money. Pennsylvania has 2,400 volunteer fire departments covered by an estimated 70,000 volunteer firefighters.
Mann said departments might even find themselves cutting fundraising programs such as weekly bingo nights when winter came, as stations wouldn't be able to pay for heating costs. That'll make fundraising even harder.
"We're in a process of surviving now," Mann said.
Fire chiefs say they don't think prices will get better soon and that service could suffer eventually.
"I think we've reached some benchmarks that are not going to be crossed," Fontenot said. "When you start getting people a little less training, maybe they didn't make the response times they should have or could have. They're going to have some impact."

Internet has been common technology. It helped many entrepreneur in doing fast, efficient, and effective business. In banking, internet is also useful in transaction. It became the background of the writer in doing research about using internet banking in buying something which become consumptive life-style, or consumer needs in business transaction. The question became the material of the writer to research about "relation between consumptive lifestyle and buying through internet behavior to the customer of Bank Central Asia Major Branch of Malang" Consumptive lifestyle is somebody's behavior to reach life satisfaction, where product become symbol and personality identified. While buying through internet behavior is thought, sight, hear, feel, and smell of somebody to take action in form of behavior to get what needed in product or service needed by exchange money owed. The research design was non-experiment research. Population used was all customer of Bank Central Asia Major branch of Malang consisted of 100 people. Sampling method was by incidental sampling technique with 50 people as sample. While data collection method used scale by likert scale. Data analysis technique was product moment correlation. Before research, the writer did try out. The result of try out of consumptive life-style showed 37 valid items from 40 items preserved while buying through internet behavior found 37 valid items from 40 items preserved. The result showed positive and significant relation between consumptive life-style to the buying through internet with correlation coefficient value (r) = 0,526 and fault probability (p) = 0,000. It means when the consumptive life-style high, buying through internet behavior also high and when the consumptive life-style low, buying through internet behavior also low. Coefficient correlation determination found 0.276 or 27,6% showed that effective contribution of consumptive life-style to the buying through internet behavior 27,6% while rest of them 72,3% caused by another factor like the needs of technilogy, time efficiency, self-respect, culture. The writer suggest the next researcher to complete and enrich the research by using different method and using another un-researched variable in this research.

Browse more novels of Discworld.
(P) ISIS Publishing Ltd, 1995; Copyright © Terry Pratchett, 1987; Cover Illustration © Josh Kirby
"Lots of fun"
Granny Weatherwax is one of my all-time favorite characters in any book. Terry Pratchett has the rare and wonderful gift for creating strong female characters who aren't simply men in dresses.
This book was a fun story, and the narrator did a good job capturing the characters. There were some indistinct spots, though few and far between.
"Very Interesting!"
Although the beginning dragged a bit, the story got very fascinating. And I do think that the female reader was very fitting, had to get used to a different voice, but it grows on you. Although Nigel Planer read most of the discworld series, Ms. Imrie did a fine job. Humans are creatures of habit and tend to resist change, but her voice was a nice change, inspite of most reviewers negative comments.
"Pratchett is one of my favorite authors"
Very funny and entertaining. Saved my sanity during nursing sessions with my daughter.
"The narrator is just fine."
After reading the reviews about female narrator, I was worried about downloading. I almost dreaded starting this book but decided to focus on the words not the reading. Maybe it was the low expectations, but I thought Celia did a fine job. Granny was done perfectly. She could have changed up her accents for characters a bit better. Sometimes it was confusing because her voices for some characters were very close to each other. Anyway, go for it. It's fine.
"I like Celia Imrie"
The story was pure Pratchett. I really enjoyed this recording and feel the need to address some of the comments about the narrator.
While I also adore Nigel Planar, I found Celia Imrie a very appropriate narrator for this story. I have a hard time with narrators that are different genders than the main characters and I suspect I am not unique. I did not find Celia Imrie at all difficult to understand. Her Granny Weatherwax is perfect and I will have a hard time moving on to books about the witches read by Nigel Planar in large part because of this.
"A Trousers of Time Experience"
First, Stop. If this is going to be your first Discworld book, leave it for later. Go listen to one of the others, a Planer or Briggs narration. They fit Terry Pratchett infinitely better.
This is a good story but the voice doesn't fit. It warps the experience so that it is recognizable as a Pratchett book - but one that went down the wrong leg and was written in that parallel universe we've heard about.
It is worth it if you prefer audio, it introduces Granny Weatherwax after all. You only have to resist the soporific effects of Imrie's sleepy tones to hear it. It's not about having a female narrator - it's about having the Right female for the material. Maybe someday it will be redone but I doubt it. Might as well not wait.
"Dreadful narration ruins a delightful book"
I am familiar with Ms. Imrie's work as an actor and thought her voice would be a great fit for this book. Unfortunately, I was incorrect.
I'm not sure if Ms. Imrie was misled as to the audience for the work or she always reads aloud as if telling a story to a group of slightly concussed four-year-old children who may have been in their parents' liquor cabinet. I was unable to bear it for more than ten minutes and will never listen to it again.
If you want to hear a bombastic, plummy, condescending rendition of this book I can heartily recommend this recording. If, however, you wanted to enjoy the book for itself then this is not the audiobook for you.
It's a pity, because this is one of my favorite Pratchett books.
Hardcore audiobook nerd.
"Narration is Unintelligible"
I am a Pratchett fanatic, and own every recording that he has available, and I would pay ANYTHING to have this and Wyrd Sisters re-recorded with Stephen Briggs as the narrator. Celia's performance is so mumbled and without inflection that I sincerely can barely understand her at all.
"Not for commuting!"
Ms. Imrie's reading of this excellent novel is more in the way of a bedtime story..for children of all ages. Listen cuddled up in the dark at night. Then Ms. Imrie's voice will carry you to the never, never.
"The worst of the best series on Roundworld"
Celia Imrie is a fine narrator, but she was never suited to Discworld material and I'm surprised they let her try it on twice.
This was the novel that made me quit reading Discworld books for years. Literal years, about five or six of them. I read the first two novels as fast as anything and then ran into this. Having now finished every other Discworld novel, this is the worst. It really seems that this was apparent to Pratchett too. Pretty much everything in this novel is sort of non-canon.
Other than the later appearance of a rather different Granny Weatherwax almost nothing in this novel is connected to any later works. If Esk hadn't made a little appearance in I Shall Wear Midnight, I'd swear this novel had been blotted from the history of the disc.
I didn't like this book the first time. I still don't like it. If there is any other discworld book you haven't already listened to, listen to it instead.
"Equal Rites"
3rd book in the Discworld saga. The first three books are hard work in my opinion until you come to Morrt. Once you have read that one, you start to develop a love for the characters.
On first read of the first three Discworld books, I found them clunky and had several specifics to that saga that were awkward as literary ideas. I returned and read these first three books and in reference to this one in particular and thoroughly enjoyed them.
Well read and well wrote if clunky and awkward on first read.

The photoelectric effect of molten tin and two of its allotropic modifications (β and γ) is investigated. An apparatus is described which permits the measurement of the photoelectric emission at the different changes of state. Because of the small photoelectric sensibility of tin, a Hoffmann electrometer had to be used with a sensitivity of ca 10-18 coul./sec. The range of temperature was 50°-600°C. The range of wave-lengths from 2300Å to 2900Å. Taking all precaution to obtain monochromatic light and also taking into account the changes in the absorption of the metal, it was found that the photoelectric emission is independent of temperature as long as the phase of the cathode does not change. On the other hand, a change of state changes very definitely both its intensity and threshold, so that the denser the phase, the larger the work function. The threshold for liquid tin was found at hν0=2925±10Å; for γ-tin (hexagonal) 2820±10Å; for β-tin (tetragonal) 2740±10Å. The photoelectric curve of crystallization shows that the hexagonal modification starts to be unstable below 200°±2°C; and, also, that the speed of transformation is very slow. On account of the fact that the transformation can be followed photoelectrically, it is possible to have a criterion for the cleanliness of the surface. It seems probable that the quantum-equivalent ηe changes also with the phase, so that the denser phase has the larger ηe.

Anthony Salvatore Castonzo (born August 9, 1988) is an American football offensive tackle with the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League. After a college career at Boston College, Castonzo was selected by the Indianapolis Colts with their first round draft pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.
High school career[edit]
Castonzo attended Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia, where he was a two-way tackle for the Blue Devils and also saw action at the tight end spot, playing for Coach John Shuman. He previously attended Lake Zurich High School in Lake Zurich, Illinois.
Considered a two-star recruit by Rivals.com, Castonzo ranked No. 44 among prep school prospects in 2007.[1] He did not have any major scholarship offers when he finished high school.[2]
College career[edit]
Becoming the first true freshman to start on the Boston College offensive line since Paul Zukauskas in 1998, Castonzo helped hold opponents to only 61 tackles-for-loss (fifth in the nation) and 22 quarterback sacks in 2007. By protecting quarterback Matt Ryan at right tackle, he helped pave the way for the Eagles' 5,924 yards in total offense. Castonzo subsequently received All-ACC Freshman honors by The Sporting News and Freshman All-American honors by the Football Writers Association of America.[3]
Prior to his sophomore season, Castonzo made the move from right tackle to left tackle where he started all 14 games in 2008. Boston College ranked 25th in the country in tackles for a loss allowed (4.77) and 49th in sacks allowed (1.69). Castonzo earned a College Football News All-Sophomore First Team selection.[4]
In 2009, Castonzo was listed at No. 9 on Rivals.com′s preseason offensive tackle power ranking.[5] Following a productive junior season, Castonzo was selected 2009 First Team All-Atlantic Coast Conference as voted on by the 40 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. He set the record for career starts with 54 straight at Boston College and was a Rhodes Scholar nominee in 2010.
Professional career[edit]
2011 NFL Draft[edit]
Castonzo was selected by the Indianapolis Colts with the 22nd pick overall of the 2011 NFL Draft. He was the third offensive tackle off the board, after Tyron Smith and Nate Solder.
Indianapolis Colts[edit]
He became the Colts starting left offensive tackle for the 2011 season. He started 12 games during his rookie season and the Colts finished 2-14 without longtime starting quarterback Peyton Manning. In week 11 of the 2014 season, Castonzo recorded his first career reception and touchdown, catching a 1-yard TD pass from Andrew Luck. He played 1,115 snaps during the 2014 season, the most of any offensive lineman in the NFL.[6]

Thomson Dream Cruise Review by Shebelle: THOMSON NIGHTMARE
Member Rating
Firstly we spent over an hour sitting on the coach at the port waiting to check-in. Then on disembarking from the coach were led into the check-in area where we stood in line for over an hour waiting to check in. No welcome drink and only a few tables (where I parked my mother who is in her eighties) until I got to the front of the queue. Then we were led into another shed to identify our luggage before proceeding on to the boat.
We had an inside standard cabin which was roomy but the first night was like sleeping in a sauna because the thermostat didn't work. Went the next day to complain about the heat and sure enough someone did arrive later that morning to fix the problem. Only thing is from the second night owards the cabin was like a fridge, complained again but nothing was done.
Television also didn't come on until the last two nights of the cruise and we had no hot water, on the last night resorted to having cold shower.
Only two restaurants open, More
the Andromeda (24 hr buffet) and the Orion (Waiter Service). We ate in the Andromeda and on our first visit we picked up an oval plastic tray and I thought this was the tray, but no you had to eat off this! Only had cups in the morning, the rest of the day you had blue or green plastic mugs which were awful.
I have been on all the Thomson Cruise Ships ie Celebration, Spirit, Destiny and Emerald and found this to be my worse experience.
Passengers should not have been allowed on until the ship was ready. Certainly not a 5 star ship, would give it only 3 stars. Less

Pretty sure...
this is the flake that you lie-back to the right on. If so, this was a fun climb. Powered through the first part and took my time on the second section. Setting pieces in the crack at the top was a pain. Got 3 good placements with cams, threw on an equalette, and got it all situated... just sucked laying on my stomach on the edge to do it. Next time I'll bring some spare rope to extend the anchors further up.

An Introduction to GCC - for the GNU compilers gcc and g++ by Brian J. Gough, foreword by Richard M. Stallman Paperback (6"x9"), 144 pages ISBN 0954161793 RRP £12.95 ($19.95) "Answers common questions and provides many useful hints" --- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer (SUSE) -- Technical Editor Get a printed copy>>> |
13.2 Compiler error messages
`variable' undeclared (first use in this function)
In C and C++ variables must be declared before they can be used. This
error message indicates that the compiler has encountered a variable
name which does not have a corresponding declaration. It can be caused
by a missing declaration, or a typing error in the name. Variable names
are case-sensitive, so
represent different variables. To keep the output short, only the first use of an undeclared variable is reported. Example:int main (void) { int i; j = 0; /* undeclared */ return j; }
The variablej
is not declared and will trigger the error`j' undeclared
. parse error before `...'
syntax error
These error messages occur when the compiler encounters unexpected
input, i.e. sequences of characters which do not follow the syntax of
the language. The error messages can be triggered by a missing close
bracket, brace or semicolon preceding the line of the error, or an
invalid keyword.
#include <stdio.h> int main (void) { printf ("Hello ") /* missing semicolon */ printf ("World!\n"); return 0; }
There is a missing semicolon after the first call toprintf
, giving aparse error
. parse error at end of input
This error occurs if the compiler encounters the end of a file
unexpectedly, such as when it has parsed an unbalanced number of opening
and closing braces. It is often caused by a missing closing brace
#include <stdio.h> int main (void) { if (1) { printf ("Hello World!\n"); return 0; /* no closing brace */ }
An additional closing brace is needed in this program to prevent the errorparse error at end of input
. warning: implicit declaration of function `...'
This warning is generated when a function is used without a prototype
being declared. It can be caused by failing to include a header file,
or otherwise forgetting to provide a function prototype.
int main (void) { printf ("Hello World!\n"); /* no header */ return 0; }
The system header file 'stdio.h' is not included, so the prototype forprintf
is not declared. The program needs an initial line#include <stdio.h>
. unterminated string or character constant
This error is caused by an opening string or character quote which does
not have a corresponding closing quote. Quotes must occur in matching
pairs, either single quotes
for characters or double quotes"aaa"
for strings. Example:#include <stdio.h> int main (void) { printf ("Hello World!\n); /* no closing quote */ return 0; }
The opening quote for the string in this program does not have a corresponding closing quote, so the compiler will read the rest of the file as part of the string. character constant too long
In C and C++ character codes are written using single quotes, e.g.
gives the ASCII code for the letter a (67), and'\n'
gives the ASCII code for newline (10). This error occurs if single quotes are used to enclose more than one character. Example:#include <stdio.h> int main (void) { printf ('Hello World!\n'); /* wrong quotes */ return 0; }
The program above confuses single-quotes and double-quotes. A sequence of characters should be written with double quotes, e.g."Hello World!"
. This same problem occurs in the following C++ program,#include <iostream> int main (void) { std::cout << 'Hello World!\n'; // wrong quotes return 0; }
This error can also occur if the forward slash and backslash are confused in an escape sequence, e.g. using'/n'
instead of'\n'
. The sequence/n
consists of two separate characters, '/' and 'n'. Note that according to the C standard there is no limit on the length of a character constant, but the value of a character constant that contains more than one character is implementation-defined. Recent versions of GCC provide support multi-byte character constants, and instead of an error the warningsmultiple-character character constant
orwarning: character constant too long for its type
are generated in this case. warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
This error indicates a misuse of a pointer in an integer context.
Technically, it is possible to convert between integer and pointer
types, but this is rarely needed outside system-level applications.
More often, this warning is the result of using a pointer without
dereferencing it (e.g. writing
int i = p
instead ofint i = *p
). This warning can also occur withchar
andchar *
types, sincechar
is an integer type. Example:int main (void) { char c = "\n"; /* incorrect */ return 0; }
The variablec
has typechar
, while the string"\n"
evaluates to aconst char *
pointer (to a 2-byte region of memory containing the ASCII value for newline followed by a zero byte'\0'
, since strings are null-terminated). The ASCII code for newline can be found usingchar c = '\n';
Similar errors can occur with misuse of the macroNULL
,#include <stdlib.h> int main (void) { int i = NULL; /* incorrect */ return 0; }
In C, the macroNULL
is defined as((void *)0)
in 'stdlib.h' and should only be used in a pointer context. dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
This error occurs when a program attempts to access the elements of
struct through a pointer without the layout of the struct being declared
first. In C and C++ it is possible to declare pointers to structs
before declaring their struct layout, provided the pointers are not
dereferenced--this is known as forward declaration.
struct btree * data; int main (void) { data->size = 0; /* incomplete type */ return 0; }
This program has a forward declaration of thebtree
. However, the definition of the struct is needed before the pointer can be dereferenced to access individual members. warning: unknown escape sequence `...'
This error is caused by an incorrect use of the escape character in a
string. Valid escape sequences are:
carriage return
form feed\v
vertical tab
alert (bell)\\
can be used for individual characters. Escape sequences can also use octal codes\0
and hexadecimal codes\0x00
. Example:#include <stdio.h> int main (void) { printf ("HELLO WORLD!\N"); return 0; }
The escape sequence\N
in the program above is invalid--the correct escape sequence for a newline is\n
. warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value
This warning highlights a potentially serious error, using the assignment
operator '=' instead of the comparison operator '==' in the
test of a conditional statement or other logical expression. While the
assignment operator can be used as part of a logical value, this is rarely
the intended behavior.
#include <stdio.h> int main (void) { int i = 0; if (i = 1) { /* = should be == */ printf ("unexpected result\n"); } return 0; }
The test above should be written asif (i == 1)
, otherwise the variablei
will be set to1
by the evaluation of the if statement itself. The operator '=' both assigns and returns the value of its right-hand side, causing the variablei
to be modified and the unexpected branch taken. Similar unexpected results occur withif (i = 0)
instead ofif (i == 0)
, except that in this case the body of theif
statement would never be executed. This warning is suppressed if the assignment is enclosed in additional parentheses to indicate that it is being used legitimately. warning: control reaches end of non-void function
A function which has been declared with a return type, such as
, should always have areturn
statement returning a value of the corresponding type at all possible end points--otherwise its return value is not well-defined. Functions declaredvoid
do not needreturn
statements. Example:#include <stdio.h> int display (const char * str) { printf ("%s\n", str); }
The program above reaches the end of thedisplay
function, which has a return type ofint
, without areturn
statement. An additional line such asreturn 0;
is needed. When usinggcc
function of a C program must return a value of typeint
(the exit status of the program). In C++ thereturn
statement can be omitted from themain
function--the return value of the C++main
function defaults to 0 if unspecified. warning: unused variable `...'
warning: unused parameter `...'
These warnings indicate that a variable has been declared as a local
variable or in the parameters of a function, but has not been used
anywhere. An unused variable can be the result of a programming error,
such as accidentally using the name of a different variable in place of
the intended one.
int foo (int k, char * p) { int i, j; j = k; return j; }
In this program the variablei
and the parameterp
are never used. Note that unused variables are reported by-Wall
, while unused parameters are only shown with-Wall -W
. warning: passing arg of ... as ... due to prototype
This warning occurs when a function is called with an argument of a
different type from that specified in the prototype. The option
is needed to enable this warning. See the description of-Wconversion
in section 3.5 Additional warning options for an example. warning: assignment of read-only location
warning: cast discards qualifiers from pointer target type
warning: assignment discards qualifiers ...
warning: initialization discards qualifiers ...
warning: return discards qualifiers ...
These warnings occur when a pointer is used incorrectly, violating a
type qualifier such as
. Data accessed through a pointer marked asconst
should not be modified, and the pointer itself can only be assigned to other pointers that are also markedconst
. Example:char * f (const char *s) { *s = '\0'; /* assigns to read-only data */ return s; /* discards const */ }
This program attempts to modify constant data, and to discard theconst
property of the arguments
in the return value. initializer element is not a constant
In C, global variables can only be initialized with constants, such as
numeric values,
or fixed strings. This error occurs if a non-constant value is used. Example:#include <stdio.h> FILE *stream = stdout; /* not constant */ int i = 10; int j = 2 * i; /* not constant */ int main (void) { fprintf (stream, "Hello World!\n"); return 0; }
This program attempts to initialize two variables from other variables. In particular, the streamstdout
is not required to be a constant by the C standard (although on some systems it is a constant). Note that non-constant initializers are allowed in C++.

Depeche Mode VS Yeasayer
I'm a fan of mashups. When it works there's something very satisfying about the blending of two songs together. I think they used to call it Bastard Pop. I like that term better. Here is a bastard pop of Yeasayer and Depeche Mode. A Mute records love child.

Time to celebrate Art-ober
Parade, pancakes, Sahawe Indian dancers in store
SAN ANGELO, Texas - 8 a.m.: Lions Clubs Pancake Extravaganza, South Chadbourne and Concho parking lot
9 a.m.: Downtown Arts & Crafts Show, 17 E. Twohig Ave.
11 a.m.: ASU Homecoming parade, downtown
1 p.m., 3:30 p.m.: Sahawe Indian Dancers, 17 E. Twohig Ave.

While Art-ober-fest events began Thursday with Discover Downtown, which highlighted the San Angelo Performing Arts Center, activities celebrating the city's historic ever-evolving hot spot will continue Saturday morning.
The Lions Clubs, known for their thrice-yearly pancake breakfast fundraisers, will hold their second pancake extravaganza of the year at 8 a.m. in the parking lot at South Chadbourne Street and Concho Avenue.
Cost is $5 per plate, and children 6 and younger eat free, said Joyce Downie, treasurer and secretary for Concho Pearl Lions Club and treasurer for Saturday's pancake breakfast, which will involve seven Lions Clubs.
Downie said the clubs typically raise $2,000 to $3,000, and the bulk of the money stays in San Angelo and funds the groups' eyeglasses and vision screening programs.
The Lions Clubs have an eyeglasses recycling center at 27 W. Concho Ave. Donated used glasses are passed on to people in need, Downie said.
"We try to give them glasses they have at the recycling center, but they have to have a prescription," she said. "If they don't have that, we pay for their eye exam. We also pay for children's eyeglasses and eye exams.
"The children's glasses have to be new, so we have a processing plant in Midland that makes the glasses for the children."
Beginning at 9 a.m. at 17 E. Twohig Ave., 10 to 20 arts-and-crafts vendors will sell their wares — everything from jewelry to pottery to candles, said Del Velasquez, executive director of Downtown San Angelo Inc., the nonprofit that organizes Art-ober-fest each year.
The Angelo State University homecoming parade will begin downtown at 11 a.m. Velasquez said the parade has been an Art-ober-fest hallmark since 2006 and was spearheaded by the university's president at the time, Dr. Joseph Rallo.
"He strongly believed in the development of downtown as a recruiting force for ASU, so he was very active in (getting) the parade downtown," Velasquez said. "Before, they used to have it on campus."
The Miss Wool Contest — a nod to the Miss Wool of Texas pageant that originated in San Angelo in the early 1950s — will not be held this year, Velasquez said. The contest traditionally has been a showcase and contest of customized fiberglass sheep purchased by San Angelo businesses to benefit Downtown San Angelo Inc.
"We have sold 15 sheep this year, but none of them are completed yet in order to participate in the parade," Velasquez said.
Concluding Saturday's events, the Sahawe Indian Dancers will have performances at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. at 17 E. Twohig Ave.
According to the dancers' website, the Uvalde group was founded by a scoutmaster in 1950, who called them the Comanche Club Indians. Their name was changed to the Sahawe Indian Dancers two years later, the website states. In 1959 the group disbanded, but it reorganized in 1962.
The organization comprises boys in fifth grade through high school and beyond. They learn dances by visiting various American Indian events, such as the Gallup Intertribal Ceremonials in New Mexico and the American Indian Exposition in Oklahoma, according to the website.
The Sahawes perform 60 to 70 shows a year at various events in Texas, the surrounding states and Mexico.
Velasquez said the group came to Art-ober-fest last year and was asked to return because of its popularity.
The San Angelo Chamber of Commerce has advertised Art-ober-Fest to out-of-towners, Velasquez said, but it's difficult to pinpoint how many people travel into San Angelo for the event. All told, 600 to 700 are likely to attend Saturday, he said.
Velasquez said Art-ober-fest is slightly scaled down this year because of heavy focus on River Fest 2013 next weekend, which will celebrate the achievements of the North Concho River Project. However, Saturday's event is still important to promoting downtown and San Angelo's history, he said.

Edinburgh Waverley railway station,[2] often simply referred to as Waverley, is the main railway station in the Scottish capital Edinburgh. Covering an area of over 25 acres (10 ha) in the centre of the city, it is the second-largest main line railway station in the United Kingdom in terms of area, the largest being London Waterloo; and is both a terminal station and a through station, in contrast to the majority of central London stations. Ticketing generally regards Waverley and Haymarket as interchangeable subject to operator validity.
It is one of 19 stations managed by Network Rail.[3] It is the northern limit of the East Coast Main Line to Network Rail infrastructure definition, but through-services operate to Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Perth and Inverness.
There are many local services operated by Abellio ScotRail, including the four routes to Glasgow, the Fife Circle, and services to Stirling/Dunblane/Alloa/North Berwick/Dunbar, and the station is the terminus of the Edinburgh leg of the West Coast Main Line served by Virgin Trains and First TransPennine Express. Long distance inter-city trains to England are operated by CrossCountry to destinations such as York, Leeds, Sheffield, Derby, Birmingham New Street, Bristol Temple Meads, Exeter St Davids and Plymouth.
Waverley is the second busiest railway station in Scotland after Glasgow Central and the 5th busiest in the United Kingdom outside London.
Waverley station is situated in a steep, narrow valley between the medieval Old Town and the 18th century New Town.
Princes Street, the premier shopping street, runs close to its north side. The valley is bridged by the North Bridge, rebuilt in 1897 as a three-span iron and steel bridge, on huge sandstone piers. This passes high above the station's central section, directly over the central booking hall (which cleverly hides one of the main stone piers within its bulk). Waverley Bridge lies to the west side of the station (though platforms extend below it) and it is this road which, by means of ramps, formerly afforded vehicular access to the station and still provides two of the six pedestrian entrances to the station. The valley to the west, formerly the site of the Nor Loch, is the public parkland of Princes Street Gardens.
Edinburgh's Old Town, perched on a steep-sided sloping ridge, was bounded on the north by a valley in which the Nor Loch had been formed. In the 1750s overcrowding led to proposals to link across this valley to allow development to the north. The "noxious lake" was to be narrowed into "a canal of running water", with a bridge formed across the east end of the loch adjacent to the physic garden. This link was built from 1766 as the North Bridge and at the same time plans for the New Town began development to the north, with Princes Street to get unobstructed views south over sloping gardens and the proposed canal. The loch was drained as work on the bridge proceeded. In 1770 a coachbuilder began work on properties feued at the corner between the bridge and Princes Street, and feuers on the other side of the street strongly objected to this construction blocking their views to the south. A series of court cases ended with the decision that the buildings nearing completion could stay, immediately to the west of that some workshops would be allowed below the level of Princes Street, and further west a park would be "kept and preserved in perpetuity as pleasure ground" in what became Princes Street Gardens.[4]
In the mid 1830s proposals for a railway from Glasgow running along the gardens to a station at the North Bridge were set out in a prospectus with assurances that the trains would be concealed from view, and smoke from them "would scarcely be seen". An association of "Princes Street Proprietors" who had feued houses in the street, and had spent large sums turning the "filthy and offensive bog" of the Nor Loch into quiet gardens, strongly opposed the railway and in late 1836 put forward their case against the Act of Parliament for the railway. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway opened in 1842 with its terminus at Haymarket railway station, stopping short of Princes Street. In the Railway Mania of the 1840s, the railway sought another Act of Parliament allowing access along the gardens, and at the same time two other railways proposed terminus stations at the North Bridge site. By then several of the Princes Street properties were shops or hotels with an interest in development, and agreement was reached in 1844 on walls and embankments to conceal the Edinburgh and Glasgow railway line in a cutting, with compensation of almost £2,000 for the proprietors.[5]
The North Bridge station was opened on 22 June 1846 by the North British Railway as the terminus for its line from Berwick-upon-Tweed. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway's General station opened on 17 May 1847, on the same day as the Canal Street station of the Edinburgh, Leith and Newhaven Railway, serving Leith and Granton via a long rope-hauled tunnel under the New Town. The collective name "Waverley", after the Waverley novels by Sir Walter Scott, was used for the three from around 1854 when the through 'Waverley' route to Carlisle opened. Canal Street station was also known as Edinburgh Princes Street,[1] not to be confused with the Caledonian Railway station later built (1894) at the West End following termination of the 'joint purse' agreement between Caledonian and Edinburgh&Glasgow railways and absorption of the E&G by the North British. The "Princes Street" name was resurrected by British Railways for the former LMS Terminus, but the station was known as 'the Caley' until closure.
In 1868 the North British Railway acquired the stations of its rivals, demolished all three, and closed the Scotland Street tunnel to Canal Street. The present Victorian station was built on the site, and extended in the late 19th century. Waverley has been in continual use since, under the auspices of the North British, the LNER, British Railways (rebranded as British Rail after 1965), Railtrack and latterly Network Rail. From its opening in its current form by the eastward tunnelled extension from Haymarket, Waverley has been the principal railway station in Edinburgh. From 1870 to 1965 the city had a second major station, Princes Street, operated by the rival Caledonian Railway, but this was never as important as Waverley.
As at other large railway stations of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, the railway company constructed a grand station hotel beside their station. The North British Hotel, adjacent to the station at the corner between Princes Street and North Bridge (on the site of the coachworks[4]) opened in 1902. In 1983 British Rail sold it to the Forte hotel group. In 1988 Forte closed the hotel for a year to extensively remodel and update what had become something of a faded jewel. When it reopened it was rechristened The New Balmoral Hotel, maintaining the "NB" initials in what has proved to be an astute marketing move, despite the hotel being 115 miles (185 km) from Balmoral Castle. Subsequently, "New" was dropped from the name. The hotel enjoys commanding views over central Edinburgh and is one of the most luxurious (and expensive) hotels in the UK. There is no longer a direct entrance from the station.
British Rail brought railway electrification in 1991 with electric trains on the East Coast Main Line to Glasgow Central and via York to London King's Cross.
The station's large size and the unusual topography of its surroundings mean that it contains a large amount of valuable centrally located land. The station's successive owners, British Rail, Railtrack and its current owner Network Rail have been unfairly criticised for underutilising the valuable city-centre spaces available within, there being a legal covenant preventing any upwards extension, which would obstruct the view of Arthur's Seat from Princes Street. The elevated walkway linking the Waverley Steps (from Princes Street to Market Street) has been upgraded with the recommissioning of the suburban platforms (at the south) and provision of additional through platforms to the north to serve the increased proportion of through rail traffic.
Princes Mall (formerly the Waverley Shopping Centre), which occupies a column of space (formerly Waverley Market, a live cattle market) nestling between Waverley Station, Waverley Bridge, and Princes Street, opened in 1985. This mall has benefited from the installation of escalators on the Waverley Steps to Princes Street in 2011.
Recent developments[edit]
During 2006 and 2007 parts of Waverley were extensively refurbished, including two new through platforms and the electrification of Platforms 12 to 18 in preparation for electric trains from the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link and future lines in Scotland to be electrified by the current (2012) EGIP (Edinburgh/Glasgow Improvement Project).[6]
From 2010 to 2012, the glazing of the roof of Waverley station was entirely replaced with new strengthened clear glass panels, replacing the old 34,000 m2 of mixed surfaces including felt, cloudy wired glass and plastic sheet. Part of a £130 million upgrade, this has greatly increased the amount of natural light in the station.[7][8][9]
From 2012 to 2014 improvements included: a new set of covered escalators leading to Princes Street (replacing the huge set of previously wind-swept steps); a rebuilt and widened entrance from Market Street; a rebuilding of the canopies on the southern "suburban line"; a restoration of the central space in the ticket hall; and major improvements to the Calton Road access. Internally several new lifts and escalators have greatly aided circulation.[10]
Trains leave Waverley in two directions:
- Eastbound: following a series of closures culminating in that of the Waverley Route in 1969, the only services departing from the east end of Waverley were East Coast Main Line expresses (primarily to London King's Cross and Birmingham New Street), and local trains to North Berwick and Dunbar. Recently, the Edinburgh Crossrail scheme has seen a short stub of the Waverley Route reopened to Newcraighall, and the forthcoming partial reopening of the Waverley Route proper will see trains running to Tweedbank in the Scottish Borders.
- Westbound: the line passes through Princes Street Gardens to Haymarket station. From here, the line to Carstairs and the West Coast Main Line to Carlisle and the South as well as the Edinburgh-Glasgow via Shotts line to Glasgow Central diverges to the south. The next line to diverge is the line for the Forth Bridge and Fife to the north, with services to Glenrothes, Dundee, Perth, Aberdeen and Inverness. The Edinburgh-Glasgow via Bathgate line diverges to the south at Newbridge Junction, carrying services for Milngavie and Helensburgh Central via Glasgow Queen Street low level. Finally, at Polmont Junction, the main Edinburgh-Glasgow line splits from the Stirling and Dunblane line. The former is served almost exclusively by Abellio ScotRail's main Glasgow service (via Falkirk High) and the latter by services for Dunblane, Alloa and Perth.
- Virgin Trains East Coast operates a half-hourly service to London King's Cross, one fast and one semi-fast, throughout the day with all trains calling at Newcastle Central and most at York. Services to London on average take four hours and twenty minutes (fast), or four hours and forty-five minutes (semi-fast). The exception to this is the 05:40 Flying Scotsman service which only calls at Newcastle and completes the journey to London in four hours. In the other direction, through services extend to Aberdeen (4 each way per day), Inverness (1 per day) and Glasgow (1 per day). Other long-distance to Glasgow Central are operated by CrossCountry (every two hours).
- CrossCountry operate an hourly service to Plymouth via Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Bristol and Exeter. Some services extend to Penzance and on summer weekends, Paignton and Newquay. Northbound a couple of services extend to Dundee or Aberdeen. Westbound this is extended to Glasgow Central every two hours. There is also one train per day to Reading.
Winter 2007[edit]
On 11 December 2007, First TransPennine Express commenced services between Edinburgh Waverley and Manchester Airport via Manchester Piccadilly, Preston and the West Coast Main Line replacing Virgin Cross Country services.
Winter 2008[edit]
On 14 December 2008, Virgin Trains withdrew its daily Edinburgh Waverley to London Euston service and First ScotRail Newcraighall trains ceased to continue onto the Bathgate Line and were extended to the Fife Circle Line instead, in anticipation of the electrification of the Bathgate services (Airdrie-Bathgate Project, completed 2010) and implementation of the Borders rail project to Tweedbank which will use diesel trains (scheduled operation from 2015).
Winter 2013[edit]
From 8 December 2013, Virgin Trains introduced regular links to London Euston with the combination of the existing two-hourly WCML service to Birmingham New Street via Preston with the Wolverhampton to Euston service.
Routes - past and present[edit]
A total of 24 platforms have existed at Waverley, but not more than 21 at any one time. Prior to incremental rationalisation of the east end in the 1960s-80s there were 21 platforms. The main station was effectively a large 'island' with through lines on the outside, and terminating platforms at both ends in between. In December 2006, a partial renumbering of platforms took place to reflect the construction of three new platforms.
At the north side of the station is the former Up Main through platforms, a very long platform with the tracks having a crossover to a parallel line in the centre, numbered 19 (west end) and 2 (formerly 1) (east end).
The east end terminating platforms have undergone significant rationalisation. From north to south these comprised:
- former Platforms 2 and 3, which were latterly used for parcels/mail traffic only and were removed in the 1980s when a new Royal Mail facility was built on their site;
- former Platforms 4 and 5 were also retained for parcels/mail traffic until this ceased; Platform 5 was reopened to passengers in 2006 as the new Platform 3;
- former platforms 6 and 7, of which only the latter survives, now numbered 4; and
- former Platforms 8 and 9, which were substantially shortened for use as a Motorail terminus, the infilled area becoming a car park; since the demise of Motorail services these platforms are used only for locomotive stabling, although the numbers 5/6 were reserved for them in the 2006 renumbering. These are to be extended as full length platforms to accommodate terminating CrossCountry and Virgin Trains East Coast services with the taxi rank closed in June 2014 to make way for these works.[11][12]
The former Down Main through Platforms 7 (east end) and 8 (west end) are at the south side of the main station, and comprise a single very long platform with a crossover in the centre. They are numbered 7 (formerly 10, east end) and 11 (west end).
At the west end there has been little change to the terminating platforms, apart from widening them by removing disused centre-road tracks. The platforms comprise (south-north) numbers 12/13, 14/15, 16/17 and bay Platform 18. These were not affected by the 2006 platform renumbering scheme.
The only platforms outwith Waverley's overall roof are the former 'Suburban' Platforms 8 and 9 (formerly 21 and 20), a lengthy island platform. These are on the southern edge of the station, adjacent to the east to the former freight depot (now a car park and offices) and with direct access to Market Street, which runs parallel to the railway to the immediate south.
A need to increase capacity for through and west-end traffic led to three new platforms being built in 2006, on land formerly occupied by disused sidings and bypass lines within the main part of the station. Platform 10 is a through platform at the west end, facing Platform 11. Platforms 1 and 20 are a single long through platform facing Platforms 2 and 19. All are linked by the upgraded north-south overhead walkway linking the Waverley Steps (escalators) to Market Street.

"Spike Lee scores again. Denzel Washington is perfection. Pat Collins, WWOR-TV
Editor's Note
Spike Lee ventures into the world of jazz music with this stylish romantic drama. Forced by his mother to study the trumpet, Bleek Gilliam (Denzel Washington) has grown up to become the leader of a successful jazz quintet. Managed by his inept friend, Giant (Lee), Bleek clashes with fellow band member Shadow Henderson (Wesley Snipes). Making matters worse is Bleek's romantic situation: trying to balance two different women at the same time--schoolteacher Indigo Downes (Joie Lee) and aspiring singer Clarke Bentancourt (Cynda Williams). In a hysterical moment, the line is blurred when, while making love, Bleek calls each woman by the other's name. As he struggles to keep the quintet alive and flourishing, he must decide once and for all what it is he really wants: Indigo, Clarke, or his trumpet. The son of jazz musician Bill Lee, who contributes music to the film, Lee has written a script that crackles with witty behind-the-scenes banter that feels natural and fresh. Ernest R. Dickerson's camera moves at an even brisker pace than in other Lee films, which compliments the bouncy soundtrack, making MO' BETTER BLUES an entertaining ride.
