Zooey Deschanel and Three Other Jazz Singers Who Just Can't Sing
Two types of jazz singing inspired this piece.
First, the good: Norah Jones at Tempe's Red River Opry (now the Marquee Theatre) in July 2002. At the time of this show, Come Away With Me, Jones' jazz-ish debut, had yet to hit suburbia stereos en masse. However, after blow-me-away interpretations of tunes such as "Don't Know Why" and "Shoot the Moon," it was way obvious that the beautiful daughter of the now-90-year-old Ravi Shankar was about to blow up.
Months later — and deservedly so — she did.
Uh, the not so good: Jane Monheit at Chicago's Ravinia Festival in June 2001. I'd heard Monheit's first album, Never Never Land (the cover image features a sultry and seductive Monheit with velvety red lipstick that a vampire might wear), and thought it was okay enough to see her at the yearly summer festival. About Never Never Land, one music critic even went so far to say "[Monheit's] voice is about as close to flawless as a human can get."

Monheit — who ended up being nice on the eyes but not on the ears — underwhelmed the you-know-what out of me with her barren vocal performance. As quickly as studio magic had placed me in a fifth-row seat just feet away from Monheit, her live performance forced me the hell out if it.
Where Jones can nail jazz, alt-country, and soft pop while looking good doing so, these "Pretty Singers That Try to Sing Jazz But Can't" aren't able to match or surpass looks with their performance chops. Too bad, especially considering that vocal innovators like Abbey Lincoln and Patty Waters are true beauties who are much more deserving of going-apeshit-over fandom, like number one on our list, or singing on a Lexus ad campaign (see number four):
1. Zooey Deschanel: The doe-eyed, (500) Days of Summer heartthrob kills pop-folk (in a good way) in the She & Him duo project with M. Ward. But when she tries to go all jazz, the flat melodies are like a sonic ouchy. Choosing Hollywood over a Broadway jazz career, the latter of which Deschanel once considered, was the right thing to do.
2. White Hinterland: It pained me a bit to include Casey Dienel's side project because I love her solo singer-songwriter albums. However, White Hinterland, Dienel's vehicle to try stuff out of her comfort zone, usually ends up sounding sophomoric at best. Where the dreamy, pop-heavy "Calliope" is bling-bling to my ears, the tune "Dreaming of the Plum Trees," where she tries the Billie Holiday thing by singing behind the beat, goes like this: Dienel's singing behind the beat, then launches two beats ahead of it, then behind it again and off-key, now in front of the beat again, and now . . . my head hurts.
3. Jane Monheit: Mentioned above. Has since tried performing pop music. Great move.
4. Diana Krall: I guess the Canadian beauty and wife of Elvis Costello can sing the piss out of "They Can't Take That Away From Me" and other antiquated jazz standards. But that's the thing. Much like Wynton Marsalis riding the extinct trumpet-playing coattails of Louis Armstrong or Blaise Lantana's I-want-to-kill-myself-if-I-hear-another-walking-bass-line-or-lame-vibraphone DJ selections on KJZZ, Krall isn't bringing anything new to the genre, save for boredom.

Haha, this is awesome!
I love how the Enderman is all like "wtf is going on here?"

I seem to have some kind of multithreading bug in my code that makes it crash once every 30 runs of its test suite. The test suite is non-interactive. I want to run my test suite in gdb, and have gdb exit normally if the program exits normally, or break (and show a debugging prompt) if it crashes. This way I can let the test suite run repeatedly, go grab a cup of coffee, come back, and be presented with a nice debugging prompt. How can I do this with gdb?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
This is a little hacky but you could do:
If a.out terminates normally, it will just drop you out of GDB. But if you crash, the program will still be active, so GDB will typically prompt if you really want to quit with an active inferior:
Like I said, not pretty, but it works, as long as you haven't toggled off the prompt to quit with an active process. There is probably a way to use gdb's
The easiest way is to use the Python API offered by
You can even do it with one line:
You can also examine the return code to ensure it's the "normal" code you expected with
You can use it in conjuction with
Make it dump core when it crashes. If you're on linux, read the
This way when it crashes you'll find a nice corefile that you can feed to gdb:
You can also trigger a backtrace when the program crashes and let gdb exit with the return code of the child process:
Create a file named
Run with no options:
You are telling gdb to run and quit, but it should stop processing the file if an error occurs.
Are you not getting a core file when it crashes? Start gdb like this 'gdb -c core' and do a stack traceback.
More likely you will want to be using Valgrind.

NED SHERRIN-led roundtable arts discussion pot-pourri which initially threw together unlikely combinations of semi-regulars including Stephen Fry (as 'Dr Donald Trefusis'), John Walters, Richard Jobson, Emma Freud, Craig Charles, Samantha Fox, Jonathan Ross, Pip Dann, Robert Elms, Carol Thatcher, Alan Bennett, and anyone else who could throw together three or four words on the popularity of EastEnders or the latest Mike Leigh film, while over in the corner Victor Lewis-Smith fired off breakneck speed tape-wind-festooned listener-scaring reports on whatever took his fancy. Caused several unexpected outrages, not least over Fry's celebrated rant about 'parent power', Elms shouting at someone who sniffed at graphic novels, and Lewis-Smith's accidental invention of the 'Master Bates, Seaman Staines and Roger The Cabin Boy' myth. Still going under the watchful eye of Clive Anderson but, with most of its oddball regulars long since gone, largely degenerated into PR puff-piece parking lot for anyone with a book to plug.Read More

We know he's bloody useless at it, but actually quite a lot of the shows from 1982 we're looking forward to seeing are presented by Simon Bates. It's not for him, obviously, but he just happened to be hosting episodes featuring cracking line-ups or hugely memorable performances. His first edition of the year isn't perhaps one of them, especially as a number of performances you'll already have seen on the clip show, though that does emphasise there are lots of famous songs about.

Senior officials within the fractious ZANU PF are so desperate to keep their party positions that some are approaching Mugabe clandestinely to solicit for support.
The State-run Herald newspaper said Mugabe made the disclosure at Wednesday's politburo meeting, with members accusing some of their colleagues of holding nocturnal meetings and vote-buying ahead of the party's December congress.
Party spokesman Rugare Gumbo confirmed that they had discussed the secret meetings. "It was apparent that there are some who hold clandestine meetings, seeking positions in the party largely because we are going to congress."
Vote-buying is one of ZANU PF's oldest tricks during national election campaigns, but this has generally been limited to political contests with the opposition.
The power struggle between the two known factions in the party is now in the open with members aligned to faction leaders Joice Mujuru and Emmerson Mnangagwa openly siding with their preferred leader.
Recently, the Mujuru faction thought it had the party leadership in the bag when it changed the rules on who qualifies to be in the politburo, a move which eliminated many of her rival Mnangagwa's loyalists.
But Grace Mugabe's entrance into politics last weekend turned the tables against Mujuru, and introduced yet another force into the already messy succession tussle.
Temba Mliswa allegedly engineered Grace's entry into politics, although it remains unclear under whose instructions, the Financial Gazette said Thursday.
A way is also being paved for Mugabe's personal banker, Gideon Gono, to join mainstream politics via a Senate seat, a move that will ease him into politics and enable him to continue to protect the Mugabes' business portfolio, even after the president is gone.
UK-based former diplomat Clifford Mashiri said that senior officials are not sleeping as they seek to secure their now-shaky positions and it shows that the party is geared "for serious turbulence" come December.
"The party is obviously crumbling and this is the first time that the infighting is happening openly for all to see and the party cannot even deny it now. You can sense the tensions in the statements being issued by party officials.
"I wouldn't be surprised if on the nights that these officials are meeting or bugging Mugabe, they will be visiting traditional healers in a bid to cling on to power.
"But just like they couldn't get diesel out of a rock, as had been promised by the Chinhoyi spirit medium Rotina Mavhunga, their demise is inevitable. If their failure does not bring them down, they will do it to themselves through their infighting," Clifford added.

Feeding of the Argentine Field Army
It is well known that the traditional diet of the country regions of Argentina is chiefly meat, although this custom has been considerably modified in the most populated districts. In the case of Argentine troops in the field, the medical officer, Dr. J. A. Lópes, has made recent observations in Chaco, which indicate that the soldiers receive daily 435 grams of protein, 182 grams of fat, and 201 grams of carbohydrates, making a total of 4,125 calories.
Plague Considered an Industrial Accident
Two recent decisions by different courts have established the principle that plague contracted in a plant in which rat mortality from plague should create suspicions as to its sanitary conditions, makes the employer liable to pay a compensation just as if the patient had died from an accident while at work.

Germany's Weber Seen in Race for ECB Presidency
FRANKFURT—When Bundesbank President Axel Weber recently took the stage of this city's historic opera house in the collegial company of a conference of European bankers, he delivered a tongue-lashing.
"We don't give a damn what anyone says" about regulation, he told the assembled bankers. "We will just implement it." The banking sector's risk management, he added, was "not up to scratch," in part because bankers relied on ratings agencies that offered "zero" added value.
The combative appearance and signals from the German government have fueled speculation that Mr. Weber, a member of the European Central Bank's policy-making council, is mounting a not-so-subtle campaign for its presidency, considered among Europe's most powerful posts. ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet's eight-year term expires in October 2011.
Mr. Weber's supporters say he'd add a strong voice to global policy-making circles. But in the staid world of central banking, Mr. Weber's blunt manner—a contrast to Mr. Trichet's diplomatic approach—also spurs questions about what his presidency would mean for the euro-zone.
Electing Mr. Weber, a renowned deficit and inflation "hawk" in the traditional Bundesbank mold, would send a clear signal that the ECB won't stray from a conservative course and anti-inflation stance.
At a time the when ECB is coping with the fallout from the chronic overspending by some member states, especially Greece, Mr. Weber's record as a deficit hardliner has raised his profile.
"Excessive deficits can cause tensions with monetary policy" and may require higher interest rates if not corrected, he said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
The other leading candidate for the job is Bank of Italy Governor Mario Draghi, who, like Mr. Weber, is well respected in global financial circles. Both have extensive government experience including heading their countries' treasuries. Mr. Draghi was a top executive at Goldman Sachs GS -1.07 % from 2002 to 2005—experience that could work against him now given the public relations hit Goldman and other banks have taken during the crisis. Mr. Weber's record is reminiscent of U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's, with a lengthy academic career followed by a stint as a government economic adviser.
Mr. Draghi is seen as more cagey about his views on rates and inflation than Mr. Weber, making it hard for analysts to place the Italian in a traditional hawk-dove category. Still, Italy's long history of runaway deficits and currency devaluations could count against him at a time when a lack of fiscal discipline in some euro-zone countries threatens to undermine the common currency.
A spokesman for the Bank of Italy declined to comment.
Mr. Weber recently signaled that he is comfortable with the ECB's record-low interest rates given the absence of inflationary pressures, a move that could assuage worries among high-deficit countries such as Italy and Spain that he would be a cookie-cutter Bundesbanker pressing for higher rates at the first opportunity. Nevertheless, given his hawkish reputation, some believe a Weber presidency could raise tensions within the single-currency bloc, and that such strains could add volatility to the euro.
The ECB president is one of 22 members of the central bank's rate-setting board, but the real power in the position rests with the incumbent's bully pulpit of the world's largest economic area. Financial markets follow the president's every utterance on monetary policy, exchange rates and regulation—attention that has made the ECB president the world's second most influential central banker after the chairman of the Fed.
Though the ECB is modeled on the Bundesbank and based in Frankfurt, France and other countries in the 16-nation euro zone have been reluctant to give Germany—Europe's largest economy—even more influence in the region by handing it the presidency. Wim Duisenberg, a Dutchman whose monetary policy was heavily influenced by Bundesbank traditions, was the ECB's first president, followed by Mr. Trichet.
Messrs. Weber and Draghi are front-runners in a race that could still bring other contenders. But it is already heating up. Last week European officials questioned candidates for the position of vice president, which opens up in four months. The decision on the candidates, from Belgium, Luxembourg and Portugal, will have implications for the election of the new president, as a mix of economic ideology and nationality is taken into account when choosing ECB policy makers.
The successful candidate for the presidency will have to win a qualified majority of euro-zone heads of state. Germany has not raised its hand for other important EU posts recently, prompting speculation that it wants the ECB job. Germany's State Secretary for Europe Werner Hoyer said in an interview published in France's Les Echos that if Germany were to propose a candidate, it would make sense to have someone "as experienced and successful" as Mr. Weber.
Mr. Weber has been coy about his intentions. "Que será, será," he said. "I have a very interesting and challenging job, and am trying to do this job well."
The financial crisis has spurred euro-zone member states to focus more on the ECB's credibility and the survival of the euro than political turf battles. As the steward of Germany's currency, the vaunted Deutsche mark, until it was replaced by the euro, the Bundesbank earned a reputation for safeguarding Germany's postwar boom while keeping inflation in check.
However, Mr. Weber's record of economic policy making was limited when he took over the Bundesbank in 2004. The German central bank was in turmoil after then-president Ernst Welteke had admitted to accepting an expensive hotel stay from a bank the Bundesbank regulated. Mr. Weber, who lacked strong political ties, says he was surprised to get the offer of the Bundesbank presidency.
Mr. Weber is "absolutely one of the top scholars in Europe" and "doesn't come across like a guarded political official," says Harvard professor Kenneth Rogoff, who has known him since the early 1980s.
Mr. Weber's tendency to abandon his profession's trademark understatement in favor of populist rhetoric could raise questions about whether he has the right demeanor for the position.
But his willingness to talk tough could be just what the ECB needs at a time when central banks around the globe are under fire, says Karen Johnson, former head of the U.S. Federal Reserve's international finance division. In addition, his fluency in English and ability to think quickly on policy matters "make him personally more influential" than most other central bankers at global gatherings, she says.
Other Bundesbank watchers praise Mr. Weber for his behind-the-scenes handling of the banking crisis in Germany, saying he helped it emerge from recession faster than other European countries.
Mr. Weber didn't follow a typical path to the Bundesbank, long a magnet for Germany's best and brightest. While many of his predecessors were products of Germany's top universities, Mr. Weber received his doctorate from the University of Siegen, a school that lacks an international reputation.
After earning his degree in 1987, he embarked on a career in monetary economics as a researcher, leading to a teaching post at the University of Bonn in the early 1990s. Mr. Weber, who used to deliver economics lectures in a bomber jacket—unlike his older, jacket-and-tie wearing colleagues—also did stints at the International Monetary Fund and, in the early 1990s, the Brookings Institution. In 2002, he was elected to join Germany's council of "Wise Men," a five-member panel that advises the government on economic issues.
When he took the helm at the Bundesbank after the Welteke scandal, Mr. Weber instituted a new governance code for the central bank's board members and other staffers. But some critics say Mr. Weber hasn't done enough to transform the German central bank, which lost much of its power with the introduction of the euro.
"The Bundesbank is still searching for a role commensurate with its size and importance," Germany's Süddeutsche Zeitung said in a recent editorial. "The macro-economic think tank that Weber envisioned hasn't materialized."
"He's highly regarded" by the German public, says Thorsten Polleit, Frankfurt-based economist at Barclays Capital. And even if it meant ruffling feathers along the way, Mr. Weber "did much to repair the image of the Bundesbank," Mr. Polleit says.

Yankees advance to ALCS
Published: Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 1:28 a.m.
NEW YORK — CC Sabathia pitched a four-hitter and the New York Yankees once again came out on the right side of a disputed home run call against the Orioles in October, beating Baltimore 3-1 Friday in the deciding Game 5 to reach the AL championship series against Detroit.
Nate McLouth's bid for a tying homer in the sixth inning was ruled foul by the slimmest of margins. Sabathia hung on in the late innings for his first postseason complete game and defeated the Orioles for the second time in this division series
The ALCS opens today at Yankee Stadium.
Raul Ibanez hit a go-ahead single in the fifth off Jason Hammel and Ichiro Suzuki added an RBI double in the sixth.
Curtis Granderson boosted it to 3-0 with a second-deck solo homer in the seventh. The Yankees advanced following their decision to bench slumping third baseman Alex Rodriguez, their $275 million man.

Historical Traveler Reviews Pratt's Hotel Bath
Fantastic staff, great location
We stayed for the "Easter package" which includes some entertainment such as a boat trip and open top bus ride in Bath. The staff threw themselves enthusiastically into these and made them great fun.
Accommodation was fine - on the top floor with good views to Priory Park. Due to the central location it was a bit noisy at night but all the sights and shops are within easy walking distance.
With the hotel being full for the Easter break, it was buffet service for breakfast which isn't my favourite but the dinner more than made up for it being really, really good.
I agree with the last reviewer in that the bed was very hard but for 3 nights we coped.
Emma, the General Manager was superb and made herself known to each and every guest - not something often found even in small establishments!
All in all, an excellent break and I'd recommend this hotel without hesitation.
Great locaiton, Horrible beds
Despite the bed being the most uncomfertable and hard bed we have ever slept on, this hotel is a good value. We had an awful time getting to sleep and were cranky and tired the next day. The bed desperately needed to be replaced.
We spent one night with our children in this hotel. We paid a bit more for a site, which is worth it with little ones. There was a seperate area for the wardrobe and desk which fit the travel cot/crib. The sofa included a pull-out bed big enough for two children. The was a large bathroom and large sitting area also. But European standards, this was a good sized hotel room. The staff put yellow rubber ducks in the tub and provided the cot/crib for us. There were also willing to keep our cooler overnight in the walk-in refridgerator and freez or ice blocks.
Breakfast was included and was typical english fare. Healthy options were limited to cereal and three types of fruit. High-chairs are available.
Location is excellent being only a short walk to the Bath Abbey and Roman Baths. Parking is in a pay and display nearby.
Great hotel in the center of Bath
My wife and I stayed there for 2 nights and would definately recommend it. To summarised
Good points :
1. Very friendly staff. Know what needs to be done without having to ask.
2. Hotel & rooms are clean and tidy.
3. 2 mins walk to city center.
4. Breakfast, cream tea and dinner were excellent.
5. Good value for price.
Other points :
1. Parking is in a public carpark across the road for approx �11 per day (free at night). It's well lit and next to police station.
Charming Historic Getaway
Stayed two nights at the Pratt's Hotel, a charming antique-filled early Victorian inn (once frequented by Sir Walter Scott)in the center of historic Bath, overlooking the breathtaking Cathedral. Our room was cozy, immaculate and comfortable. The staff was very knowledgeable and pleasant, the food (dinner and breakfast included) was delicious and plentiful. The common rooms were a delight...several small and cozy spots to have tea and read by the fireplace. The dining rooms are gracious and the pub room is just what you'd expect...warm woods and period furnishings. The location is ideal for exploring the town, around the corner from the gorgeous abbey and the amazing Roman baths,and close to many wonderful shops, the theater and cinema...and a two-minute walk to the railroad station. A great value.
Loved it - Very Satisfied
My husband & I spent a night at Pratt's after having been disappointed in the B & B we had originally booked. Bath was very busy & we were lucky to get a last minute cancellation for 100 GBP. The room was probably not quite as nice as others in the hotel as it was a smoking room but we were very happy with it. It was a good size & had a very large bathroom. It was also immaculate. Staff couldn't have been more accommodating & public rooms were lovely. We had a beautiful view and, as seniors, we really appreciated the short walk to all Bath's attractions. We will definitely return here on our next visit.
Like stepping into a Jane Austen novel
As the chaperone for a group of high school students on a literary tour of England, I was immediately enchanted by the welcome we received at this wonderfully located, delicately decorated, and historically preserved gem of a hotel. Everything in the small yet efficient lobby was elegantly placed and included a beverage table featuring local water, thought to have healing powers.
The rooms brought cries of delight from our impressionable group as they discovered unique qualities in each room. In one, a myserious set of stairs led to the enormous, light filled bathroom. All of the bathrooms featured heated towel bars, generous pump bottles of lotion, shampoo, and hand soap, and.....rubber ducks!
The decidedly feminine decor was perfect for our group of 14 girls and 2 boys and included such niceties as plump coverlets, a writing desk, small sitting chair, and lovely tea service for the user's convenience.
The three course dinner featured creative delicacies such as a fresh mozzarella and tomato salad with pesto and a filling pasta dish with a delicate sauce hinting of unusual spice combinations. For heartier diners, a perfectly presented beef entree arrived adorned with traditional Yorkshire pudding. Large platters of 3-4 vegetables were added to each table and we were impressed with the obvious freshness and variety of the delicious vegetables. As an ice cream lover, I couldn't resist the three small balls of exquisite Italian ice cream nestled into a crunchy bowl. It truly was the best ice cream I have ever eaten. The other desserts were equally impressive and creative, including a creme de brulee and our introduction to the intensely sweet profiteroles, which are somewhat like cream puffs.
After dinner, one could easily stroll through Bath to take in the stately buildings made of a rich yellow brick and the many spectacular gardens. At the Pratt, however, our students were content to take their tea and explore the many large parlors filled with books, games, and atmosphere. One of the most enjoyable parts of the stay occurred when several of the girls had a "salon" in the women's rest room! The parlor preceeding the rest room was huge and lent itself exceptionally well to over an hour of excited girl talk!
For an experience off the beaten path and for a glimpse of what it might have been like to live over a hundred years ago, gather your trunks, hat boxes, and maids, and head over to Pratt's Hotel. Or, you can just bring your backpack and imagine what it must have been like to arrive in the town where one came to see and be seen.
Big Room but expensive
We stayed one night at Pratt's Nov '03. Since it was just one night we splurged and got the four poster queen-sized bed which was booked thru Orbitz for 140 GBP. It was a large room on the floor one above street level. The bathroom was large for England and probably average for the States, with a tub. Also included was coffe/tea maker, TV, trouser press, and large bottle of toiletries. The location was very convienent to the train and bus station and walking distance the city center (and I'm not much for walking). The only negative was no ventilation in the room except for the windows. It was stuffy even with windows open.
A true "Jane Austinique" hotel
We stayed here one night and, based on my own personal level of comfort, one night was great, two nights would not have made it for me.
Our room was very small and the bathroom was not to my level of cleanliness (hair in the tub and a toilet seat that I re-cleaned! (Ha Ha)) The sitting areas are very sweet, but the chairs have seen better days. I personally do not like to leave my room key at the front desk, which is their request. We came home very late at night and the person on duty seemed bothered that he had to let us in. But having said that, my friend loved the place. She thought it had character and a quaintness. She doesn't care about having things "clean" like I do, so it didn't bother her that the room wasn't "perfect."
Genteel and comfortable
Pratt's Hotel is housed in a series of Georgian townhouses, conveniently located in the center of Bath. It's just a few minutes' walk from attractions such as the Abbey and Roman Baths, as well as the bus and train stations. Rooms vary greatly in size and decor; try not to get assigned one of the tiny rooms on the top floor. Most rooms on the lower floors are spacious, airy, and well-decorated. Bathrooms are functional, but have unfortunate dark tiling that can make them appear a bit dingy. They also have those annoying separate hot and cold water faucets. Public lounges on the ground floor are beautifully decorated and welcoming, as is the spacious restaurant, where a bountiful and excellent English breakfast (included in the room rate) is served every morning.
The Most Wonderful Hotel Ever
Pratt's Hotel in Bath, England is the most quaint, wonderful, old hotel. The rooms are wonderful in the fact that they have comfortable beds, great views, and are very clean. I haven't stayed at a place this nice in the U.S. I was served a wonderful breakfast in the dinning room. The hotel is centrally located so it is but a short walk to the Roman baths. There is a park that borders the river and it is only a short walk from Pratt's. If you are ever in Bath or nearby and need a room, please consider Pratt's for a lovely time.

A Bus, A Plane & Two Trains to Bath
Our day started two days ago with the decision to pull an all-nighter the night before leaving on our trip. It was brilliant, I must say (Katie's idea). The idea being that we would be so tired that even though our flight was at 1pm we would sleep on the 10 hour flight arriving in London at 7am refreshed. Uh huh.

We've had a lovely visit from Ian and Gay Kelly, old friends who we met when Andy was at Charters School in Sunningdale with their son Ben.
We were chuffed when Ian presented us with a jar of honey from his girls' beehive back home.
Ah yes, summer has o'erbrimm'd their clammy cells indeed.
There's nothing quite as sweet and tasty as this homemade amber nectar.

... hour flight, but it was probably the best flight I've ever had! Once we landed, it took forever to get through passport control, but once I was through I collected my bag almost immediately and made my way through to arrivals. I saw mum, gave her a big hug and started to cry! It was so good to see her and I was happy to be home, despite leaving all the adventure ...
Stonehenge and Bath
Viewed the prehistoric setting of Stonehenge and later the Roman Baths in get this the city of Bath (makes sense huh). But Bath is also a Georgian city with extensive architecture built largely during the 17th and 18th century.
Stonehenge is actually small, but it is remarkable that people without the wheel or equipment with which to hoist could have developed this place. These stones were moved over many miles before placement.
Bath day!
Last night the Oscars happened. During breakfast, i found out that i had correctly predicted who would win Best Actor. I had seen the movie "The Theory of Everything" a couple months or so ago, and right after watching it, i said that Eddie Redmayne would win, which he did! so i was really happy about that.
Today, I heading with the group to walk through the Roman Baths. As I have said in the previous post, that is how Bath came to be known as Bath. ...

In 1965, when the poet Jack Spicer died at the age of forty, he left behind a trunkful of papers and manuscripts and a few copies of the seven small books he had seen to press. A West Coast poet, his influence spanned the national literary scene of the 1950s and '60s, though in many ways Spicer's innovative writing ran counter to that of his contemporaries in the New York School and the West Coast Beat movement. Now, more than forty years later, Spicer's voice is more compelling, insistent, and timely than ever. During his short but prolific life, Spicer troubled the concepts of translation, voice, and the act of poetic composition itself. My Vocabulary Did This to Me is a landmark publication and includes poems that have become increasingly hard to find and many published here for the first time.

If I create a string like
char string[6] = "hello";
char* ptr = (char*) malloc(sizeof(string));
strcpy(ptr, string);
and then I do this:
char* ptr2 = ptr;
will it work?
In general, if I have a char* pointer to a string, can I make other pointers point to that string and the initial pointer point to another string?
Thanks for your feedback but I'm a little confused. I'll try to take things from the beginning.
I have my main in which I do a scanf to read a string which is of not fixed size but has a MAX length. I read it like this
char* input; scanf("%as", &input);. I think the 'a' flag allocates automatically the required memory to fit the string.
Then I have to call a function
foo(char* s)which takes the string as input.
Inside that function, I have to store the string in memory. I have two options: either use the parameter or make a new malloc and strcpy and use the new string. Which of the two is correct? I just need to store the memory location of the string and refer to it later.
If I use the parameter and store the memory location of it somewhere, is this safe or because the pointer to a string is constant will it cause any problems? Will making another string with malloc solve anything or is it the same thing?
Until now I have tried several combinations but I couldn't achieve what I wanted. Any help is appreciated.

A study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of somaclonal variation as a means to obtain powdery mildew resistance in the background of an agronomically elite, high-yielding barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar. A total of 170 Ro-derived lines were regenerated from embryo-induced callus of the barley cultivar Léger. Forty-five lines were selected and evaluated in replicated field plots at two locations in Eastern Canada. In comparison with Léger, one of the 45 lines was higher yielding, one produced a greater test weight, two had a greater seed weight, and one was shorter in plant height. Three lines were found to segregate for resistance to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis DC ex Merat f. sp. hordei EM). Many of the single-plant selections from the three resistant lines showed resistance to powdery mildew under field conditions for two years. Three lines were eventually promoted to the official registration tests in Ontario. One of the three lines was subsequently registered as a new cultivar (AC Malone) in Canada. To our knowledge, AC Malone is the world's first barley cultivar selected from somaclonal variation. The results of this study demonstrate that it is possible to obtain high- yielding or disease-resistant lines from callus culture in barley.

Bass are wandering all over lakes now, fattening up for winter. During fall, the bass tend to get more scattered and that's when a rattle bait becomes a good search bait. Keep the trolling motor running and cover a lot of water quickly. Then, if you do get on a bunch of fish, you can slow down and fish something else if it calls for it.
Personally, I like a 5/8-ounce Yo-Zuri Rattlin Vibe in one of the classic colors: chrome with a blue back or chrome with a green back and an orange belly. If the water is really dirty, I'll go with firetiger.
One of the best things about a rattling lipless crankbait is that it will work in extremely shallow water or in deep water. When I'm fishing deeper water, I like to use fluorocarbon line and yo-yo the bait more. But where it really shines is in shallower water. On Lake Okeechobee, for instance, bass will hem bait up in water that's only a foot or so deep. Here I'll use a lighter lure and 20-pound-test monofilament line, because it doesn't sink as fast. We're talking about water shallow enough for the trolling motor to sling mud, so I'll hold the rod up high and bring the rattle bait back pretty quickly.
From now until spring, give rattlebaiting a try whenever you see or suspect that bass are feeding up against the banks or on shallow flats.

Arrowroot biomass and processing residues were evaluated as as a feed, fuel and fiber resource. Ensiled aerial biomass and coarse and fine arrowroot processing residues contained 10.8–21.1% crude protein; 11.1–30.2% crude fiber; 3.8–17.0% ash; and an in vitro dry matter digestibility of 38.5–60.3%. Theoretical yields of 0.27 and 1.60 l of methane at standard temperature and pressure per liter of rhizome wash water and starch-settling water were calculated, respectively. Fuel alcohol production potential from yeast-supplemented aerial biomass and coarse residue were identified. Laboratory pulping of coarse residue was performed. The coarse residue has qualities that may be suited to tear-resistant specialty grade papers, such as wrapping paper and bags. The utilization of arrowroot by-products may lead to increased cultivation of this species as a food, feed, fuel and fiber resource. By-product utilization will also reduce environmental pollution presently resulting from direct discharge of unused by-products.

Pediatricians have stated that the most common complaint today is the unsuccessful effort on the part of mothers to overcome the child's apparent lack of appetite. A majority of the families who have an abundance of food, and in whom the parents are striving to give a maximum amount of what they consider a well-balanced dietary, find that it is impossible to get the children to eat what it is thought they should. Aldrich, in this little book, discusses the nature of hunger and appetie, his conception of the hunger-appetite reflex, the psychologic and physiologic factors which influence it. He believes that prevention of such disturbances is more successful than the treatment in the established case.
This volume is helpful to mothers especially as among other things it discusses methods of getting the child into the habit of eating. Fathers who read this book will learn the uselessness of indulging

This is a classic Microgaming site, but one of those with a "up to $25000" giveaway. That is to say that there is a possibility that you win a huge cash prize, but I would say there'a greater chance of getting nothing. Specially if you bother to check out the terms, which clearly state that they can change the rules and even cancel the whole thing whenever they want, so I guess it not really a thing that should attract new players.
Also, they boast of giving you a free $77 bonus. Right, after you deposit $77! After that, minimum deposit is $20, so come on, why they don't give some real bonuses is beyond me. I like their games selection (well, it is a Microgaming site after all), but am really annoyed by their bonus offer. The support team didn't make a strong case either, and I think that I will try my luck in some other casino after all.
The first thing you notice about the site is the enchanting theme and layout. It makes me feel like all my dreams are about to come true in my own little fairytale! Sadly, it's just a layout and not exactly what happens when you play here. But, nonetheless, I enjoy playing here. They have a pretty generous welcome offer going on. The deal is, when you make an initial deposit of $77, they will automatically double your deposit. This means, you have the opportunity to start off your gaming experience with a total of $154.
The site offers tons of games to choose from. They have over 480 games available to players with some very nice jackpots up for grabs. They've got all the popular new games in addition to the classic favorites we all know and love. One of my favorites is Gypsy Queen. It's a 5 reel slot featuring 20 pay lines and awesome graphics!
I see there is 2 comments from U.S PLAYERS yet microgaming does NOT accept U.S players. Casinorewards group are known for NOT paying players and alot of affeliates im suprised this one gets paid. This casino is a casinorewards group if you want to know what there like just google Casinorewards problems. There rogue casinos id advise you do NOT sign up to any casino rewards, unless you loose big before you withdraw they will NOT lrt you withdraw. Do your homework on Casinorewards there a big NO NO......
How many same Comments bubu87 You can make? Big No No No for same words..
Casino Kingdom is and oldie from CasinoRewards group with old style site. Welcome bonus of 77 credits not impressing really, but they do it for ages and maybe it works for them..
based on Favourite Microgaming platform, Casino KIngdom has all group attributes:
Wide range of games, good support, quite fast and easy withdrawals. Thats most important things when player is about to make deposit or not. Never tried this one for real, because of cheap welcome bonus, but I declare that is one is trusted.
Kingd regards.
A very nice microgaming casino this one.
Made an account hera a long time but never deposited.
But they send to pe 2 or 3 times reward points that I was able to exchange into money 10 euros every time.
Had a nice time but never made any withdrawal.
this old one is my most favourite from the retired-like casinos, old-school can be found everywhere around this casino, or this casino group. but it has also its negatives and i think that its the right time to go to retirement. stopped
When you go to their website, the website looks old and need some update (they probably do).
The games in the other hand are the same as other Microgaming casinos. If you dont mind looking to an old style casino this casino is kinda great because of the games.
the deposit methodes also the same as other Microgaming casinos so if you already a member of one of the Microgaming casino then you know your way sliding throu this casino.
3 star rate at his place here and no less, could be more if they update their look.
usually dont like the software but kingdom makes it work
I played there only earlier in March. Played with a deposit bonus, met the wagering and made a nice withdrawal. They are a CRG casino so I trusted them and didn't get disappointed. Great game selection, and support. I don't really like the bonuses and the pending period.
Casino kingdom. is absolutely not the first casino you think to play at ;) because lately a lot of casinos are offering different providers on their website instead of only 1 gaming provider such as Casino Kingdom does! well if i only want to play microgaming i always head over once a week to the kingdom;) what a very friendly casino they are! oke it doesn't come from there fast payments, because takes 1-2 days average or sometimes faster, but from the way they reward their players! they are so superfriendly, handing out free bonuses to me on friday mostly! and always nice sum of free spins on any deposit;) their support is always available, and they have of course all games from microgaming! and every week new emails with perfectly promotions so for me it's a great casino;)
This casino is a part of casino rewards chain. Most of their casinos have complaints for not paying out bigger amount. But I am still confused about this group. They run so many casinos. All associated with microgaming.They run huge promotions. It's difficult to believe those reviews that they don't pay bigger amounts.
I played at this casino a long time ago. Back then as I recall they had the same 77 no deposit bonus. I remember that I deposited a few times and when I lost my deposit the customer service would appear (via a dialogue box) and encourage further play or offer me an additional bonus...sometimes they gave me an extra freebie. But I never won there so, after a while, I kind of forgot about the casino. I don't know if they are under the same management nowadays or not. I can't remember. I can't make a judgement--either way good or bad--other than to say I wasn't lucky at this casino.
I am not a big fan of microgaming casinos. But I downloaded this casino. I read about no deposit bonus upon sign up But I didn't receive any no deposit bonus. After few days I claimed their first deposit bonus and I won around 450$ but couldn't complete my wagering requirements. I was so disappointed and I immediately uninstalled the casino.
Microgaming casinos are my preferred casinos to play at and this one has a very nice welcome bonus in a free play allowing the player a set amount of time to play with a large bonus and what he wins can be added to his welcome when he deposits and hopefully wagers it resulting in happiness of a withdrawal I like this casino and many like it
Casino Kingdom has awful logo in my view and as all the rest microgaming based casinos the same website style just using different colors. And i dont love that style. It looks outdated and i'm waiting when this one and sister casinos will make a step forward and will change it like rtg provider did.
Microgaming is microgaming, games are awesome, it's my favorite provider but i prefer combinations of softwares.
Welcome bonus here awful, very big wagering requirements so i do not have a wish to deposit here at the moment.

You-Won't-Believe-How-Quick-You-Can-Make-This Mushroom Chowder
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 0 mins
I think the name says it all. This makes an elegant soup course for a dinner party or holiday gathering. No one would ever guess how quick and easy it is to make.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 3⁄4 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup diced potato
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 2 (13 3/4 ounce) cans beef broth
- 1 cup half-and-half
- watercress, for garnish
- In saucepan, melt butter. Add mushrooms, onion, celery and carrot. Cook, covered, 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- Mix in pepper and flour. Cook 1 minute.
- Slowly stir in broth. Bring to boil. Simmer 2 minutes. Stir in half-and-half and heat through. DO NOT BOIL. Garnish with watercress.
Most Helpful
I have to agree with Axe. The slicing and dicing alone takes 20 mins and you have to dice small to get the veggies cooked tender in the allotted cooking time. I trimmed back the fat content by using fat free evaporated milk for the half and half and de-fatted broth. The flavor is lovely. I used Shitake's and they retained a very nice chewiness that was pleasant in the soup. I'll be making this again come Fall and Winter, it's really hearty and filling. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
I'd really love to give this 4.5 stars...The flavor is GREAT for a vegetable chowder, but chopping, slicing and dicing all that stuff was not quick for me. I think maybe next time (because DW made me promise to keep making it) I will use a food processor to speed it up. Thanks for posting!

WASHINGTON (AP) - A new study is raising questions about when
ancient human ancestors in Europe learned to control fire, one of
the most important steps on the long path to civilization.
A review of archaeological sites across Europe shows habitual use of fire beginning about 400,000 years ago. That's a lot more recent that most archaeologists thought, considering the fact that Neanderthals and modern humans lived in that cold climate long
before that time.
Other researchers have argued that the use of fire to cook food could have occurred as much as a million years ago. That would have provided improved nutrition, allowing for bigger brains and the development of modern people.
The new research is in Tuesday's edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Wow what a wonderful recipe. The flavours go really well together. I esp loved the tomato chilli jam. I had to add a little more butter and milk to the sweet potato mash to make it more creamy but it still tasted yummy! Will deff be keeping this recipe.
Made this for dinner last night and fully enjoyed it. This is one of those recipes where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The tomato relish was very good combining sour, sweet and spicy. Found the balance initially a little too sweet but sprinkled a wee bit of cayenne and it was perfect. Should also mention that my relish toook 25 minutes to reduce - in part because my tomatoes were particularly juicy. In retrospect, I should have let some of the liquid drain off before adding to the pot. The flavors of this paired really nicely with the slightly garlicy sweet potatoes. I had my leftover relish and potatoes with chicken and found that both the lambchops and chicken breasts worked well. With the chicken, I used a spicier blackening seasoning sent from NOLA (Rex brand) and found that worked better than my Cajun seasoning blend (also Rex). Thanks Beck for a delightful change of pace. Update: I just had the last of the tomato relish and each day it gets better and better. Next time I plan to make it in advance to give the flavors time to develop.
Oooh, this was wonderful. I used the original Old Bay seasoning. I love that line. And this was perfect since I had vine ripening tomatos just calling to be used. And the littlest member was also able to join in as well since one of her staples in her diet right now are sweet potatos. I made this for Zaar World Tour 05
I loved this combination. And while I made some minor changes, this definitely rates five stars. Isued very lean ground lamb, rubbed with cajun seasoning and grilled that and I omitted the butter--the sweet potato mashed was great with just the garlic. The tomato chili jam was so good and such a perfect foil for the sweet potato---really an excellent dish. Thanks, Beck!
