In computer science, a syntax error is an error in the syntax of a sequence of characters or tokens that is intended to be written in a particular programming language. For compiled languages, syntax errors are detected at compile-time. A program will not compile until all syntax errors are corrected.
Manisha Rochani | 23/10/2016
A syntax error is a violation of the syntax, or grammatical rules, of a natural language or a programming language. ... A syntax error is called a fatal compilation error, because the compiler cannot translate a C++ program into executable code if even one syntax error is present.

Dear Sayyad, Never understand the classes in terms of Child and Parent, Consider them as extensions, like for example, Suppose you have a basic class (which provides some functionality via methods), which everybody is free to use, now imagine if somebody wants to provide own version of one of the methods, what are the options available. #1 Change the method in base class, which u have implemented. (Bad idea, because it will break the existing code). #2 Don't touch the class, which is in use and working, Derive a new class, and provide a new definition to the method, which u want to do differently. (Good idea, it'll not break anything), A real world example would be ... class Account { public : bool Deposit(Double amount); } class SavingAccount : public Account { public : bool Deposit(Double amount); } class CurrentAccount : public Account { public : bool Deposit(Double amount); } Do not try to copy paste and compile, this is just a pseudo-code. The explanation can continue, and we can take many more examples, where Method Overriding is used in real world.

Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM A Canon
Further readings for the Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM A Canon
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Announced alongside the EF 16-35mm F2.8L III USM and the Canon EOS 5D Mk IV, this lens is the long-awaited update to the much-liked original EF 24-105mm F4 IS USM. Read on to find out how well this new model performs.
Canon has launched an affordable under-$1,000 EF-mount standard zoom for enthusiasts stepping up to full-frame who can't afford a pro lens. At just $599, the new Canon EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM features image stabilization (IS) as well as Canon's latest stepping autofocus motor (STM) for video. With results just in, let's see how this "budget" EF-mount lens stacks up against the pricier competition.

Le Sigma 24-105 mm f/4 constant vient de sortir et fait suite au très remarqué 18-35 mm f/1,8. Cette nouvelle optique est-elle du même acabit? Focus Numérique répond à cette question dans un test complet en partenariat avec DxO Mark.Read the article

La gamme Nikkor comptait déjà un 58 mm f/1,4. L'optique fut produite entre 1959 et 1962. Aujourd'hui, Nikon met à jour cette focale en l'adaptant avec les technologies actuelles.Read the article
DPreview: Lens reviews update: test data for the Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM
To website
DxOMark has just reviewed the Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM, a general-purpose zoom for full frame SLRs. As part of our ongoing collaboration we've added the test data to our lens widget, and looked to see how it compares to the Canon equivalent.Read the article
As a more modestly priced alternative to the EF 24-70mm f2.8L II USM and with a longer reach than the newer stabilized EF 24-70mm f4L IS USM, the similarly stabilized EF 24-105mm f4L IS USM remains a popular model for Canon users.
As a new addition to the Art-series, the Sigma 24-105mm f4 DG OS HAS looks promising, but can the firm replicate the image quality of their recent 35mm f1.4 and 18-35mm f1.8 models? Read on to find out.
Focus Numerique: Test Sigma 24-105 mm f/4 DG OS
To website
Le nouveau 24-105 mm est impressionnant. L'objectif est imposant, massif et lourd ! Il pèse près de 900 grammes, pour une longueur en position 24 mm de 11 cm environ. L'association avec des boîtiers "légers" type EOS 700D ou D5300 est risqué car l'ensemble sera déséquilibré vers l'avant. Préférez donc des appareils du calibre Mark II ou D800.Read the article

Found this (http://www.lenstip.com/389.8-Lens_review-Sigma_A_24-105_mm_f_4_DG_OS_HSM_Vignetting.html) regarding the vignetting. Seems a lot worse than your -1.5 value at high magnification.

Re: vignetting
1.5 is an average for the whole focal range. If you look at the results for each focal/aperture, you will see that vignetting can be worse, especially at 24mm f/4, and for the longer focal (above 70mm).

You don't shoot at f4 in the studio you dope. You don't know cos you're not a studio portrait photographer. Read a textbook instead and find out what f-stops you should use.

"However, at maximum aperture, vignetting is quite strong between the 70 to 105mm focal lengths..."
So much for it being a studio portrait lens.

Re: deal killer
The vignetting is worst at maximum aperture, i.e. f/4. Look at the test charts. Studio portraiture is normally done at apertures from f/8 to f/16, and there's no vignetting there......

LONDON, Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Expo Europe -- Unisys Limited, the UK subsidiary of Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS), today announced that the cloud-based Unisys IT Service Management-as-a-Service (ITSMaaS) solution is available on the CloudStore, the procurement site which is part of the UK government's G-Cloud initiative. Based on global Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) standards, Unisys' ITSMaaS solution integrates service management technologies from leading providers with Unisys advisory, implementation and lifecycle services. The Unisys solution currently processes more than 600,000 service events per month for clients. UK public-sector organizations can now easily procure Unisys' ITSMaaS from the CloudStore to help improve the delivery and support of IT and business services to their end-users, while simplifying service operations and reducing capital and operating costs. The service is available through an annual subscription. Drawing on Unisys' extensive experience in service management, the cloud-based ITSMaaS offering provides rapid access to leading tools for managing IT service delivery throughout organizations. Depending on configuration and other factors, implementation of the Unisys solution can take as few as 45 days, compared to the six months that cloud-based ITSM deployments typically take. In addition, the solution includes the capability to organize and orchestrate data necessary for delivery of services tailored to each user's job requirements. "We understand how important it is for public-sector agencies to get reliable, cost-effective support in place so their employees can deliver services to citizens more quickly and efficiently," said Kevin Rayner, head of client services, UK/EMEA, Unisys Global Managed Services. "By making Unisys ITSMaaS available on the CloudStore, we are giving public agencies in the UK access to a solution that we could roll out for them in weeks rather than months and providing them with comprehensive post-implementation support. Availability of the solution on the CloudStore provides a compelling proposition for organizations seeking to streamline the procurement process, enhance their service management capabilities and reduce costs." Modular Structure Provides Flexibility and EconomyClients need not purchase the entire ITSMaaS solution at once, but could select among available modules, based on their requirements and the desired pace of implementation. Based on ITIL v3 and hosted in a private cloud-based infrastructure with a Web interface, Unisys ITSMaaS includes three pre-configured environments: Production, Test and Development.

Creating a Stronger Connection With Customers using Inclusion and Diversity
One of the questions Cisco sales teams ask themselves is how can we continually improve our business with our customers. Often the answer lies in the relationship between Cisco and our customers.
Customers want to do business with companies that understand their culture (both the company culture and the local, national culture), and they want to do business with organizations that have shared values.
Nikos Gerogiannis, Cisco Service & Support Manager in Emerging Markets, is talking to his customers about inclusion and diversity during quarterly business reviews. Instead of focusing solely on facts and figures, Gerogiannis and his team include non-direct business elements including Inclusion—how we leverage diversity by bringing together a mix of unique individual backgrounds to collectively and more effectively meet our business objectives and Diversity—the Collective mixture of differences and similarities including but not limited to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, physical abilities, culture, occupation, position, education, work, and behavioral styles and the perspectives of each individual shaped by his/her nation and experiences.
This move has created an open conversation between Cisco and our customers, as they share both the concept and experience of team spirit. For example, one customer wants to leverage Cisco's inclusion and diversity practices in their own business. Another customer wants to start to change the perception that their customers have of them and are looking to Cisco to find out how we are doing this so they can model this same perspective for their own customers.
As a global company, Cisco makes an investment in inclusion and diversity creating a positive impact within Cisco. We have the opportunity to share our insights with our customers and partners.
For our customers, especially those in emerging countries, a key vendor like Cisco sharing these best practices and insights helps our customers feel supported by the people of Cisco and our technologies. Do our customers want to replace local workers with foreigners? No, of course not! We have the opportunity to change the conversation to enable our customers to leverage these inclusion and diversity practices and replicate them within their own companies and cultures. The end result? Better employee satisfaction and performance, as well as closer connections to their customers and business partners.
Really tapping into the culture and shared values is resulting in even closer business relationships. Our customers are recognizing that Cisco truly operates as one team. Leveraging our technology, Cisco is able to showcase the "team behind the team" and enable our customers to see that our diversity mirrors their own cultural norms. We have been able to showcase best practices across our regions. Customer satisfaction is increased, and customers consider us valued and trusted business partners.
When asked how Inclusion and Diversity can make a difference in Cisco's business, Gerogiannis said:
Nothing is impossible. Everything relies on will, collaboration and team spirit – and inclusion and diversity is all about that.
So what are your thoughts on how inclusion and diversity drives relationships and the business?

Best Institute Getting quality teaching with an online degree means that you need to research each institute carefully. Talk to other students, if possible. Look at several schools offering both traditional programs and online degree programs. It doesn't hurt to check out class size either. Try to find class sizes that are small and thus offer you the possibility of individual attention. Check into how the institute can help you……………….www.sangambayard-c-m.com"

Thanks for the insights, Liz. I think we have incredible opportunities in Emerging Markets to introduce new models for inclusion as a business driver. I hope to be able to share some stories of what we are doing on this blog and also learn from others. Partnerships are key to success.
I have been working with North American, mostly US and Canadian companies for about 18 years now on diversity pertaining to sexual orientation and, more recently, gender identity/expression. I have noticed a swell in interest in porting some of the successes of what we've done in the States, particularly with employee business networks, to other countries...most of them in Europe. This activity has taken the form of maximizing the effectiveness of the group as a collaborative and revenue-enhancing force for the company by the creation of e-communities...something that would be a natural fit for Cisco. Beyond this, there are countries emerging as leaders in this area of inclusion in somewhat surprising places (or not): South America comes to mind. Argentina recently legalized unions of gay/lesbian partners and other South and Central American companies have open and inclusive workplace policies in this area (a complete list of who and what is easily obtained). China has potential in this area...which is not as surprising as you might think. Having been there, I know there is the Chinese Way which means one must be deliberate in ones actions, but there is a growing awareness, like the US circa 1975, that this is a population about to make its voice heard.So...I think that there is a definite row to hoe using diversity and inclusion initiatives and particularly education and ERG connectivity programs that Cisco should be tapping into.

Rubber playground surface
Hi guys (and gals). Took my grandkids to the city playground this weekend and they had kind of a chopped up rubber surface under all the equipment. It looked like blacktop, but it was spongy when you walk on it. Well now the kids want to do this in their back yard under the swingsets. Where do you get this stuff at and is it hard to do? Expensive? Say for an area roughly 15 X 15 feet. It looks to me like a bunch of ground up tires and then mixed in some epoxy and poured it out and troweled like cement. Thanks.
The stuff is recycled tires. A friend of mine operates a day care center and used the loose stuff. See what you can find here. http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/Tires/Products/
There is the stuff that is chopped up and then smoothed out like a spongy mat.
And there is the stuff that is loose like barkdust, but it will not give you slivers.
What ever happened to good old gravel?
It gave way to litigation.
Did you check out the link that I posted?
I'm not sure about the weed issue. The stuff that they use in the parks here is porous.
Any more luck with the smooth surface...I'm looking for the same thing?
I attempted to find the smooth stuff to see if I could put it on a geotextile for a sidewalk, I couldn't get anything.
However the loose stuff is great. A plus you don't often hear is that animals are not attracted to it. A sandbox is a great place for a pet to leave presents. That rubber, not so attractive.
Here's what I know (not think, or suspect) about this product. Teetorbilt is on the money with his/her link. Look for the "Rubberized Asphalt Concrete", or RCA. Remeber that the pricing they are quoting is for road paving at a savings of $50,000 per lane/mile over asphalt. BUT- I also wanted to look into this product after seeing it on a playground within a municipal park. Through contacts with the local County I did find out who did the playground and called them. That particular company DID NOT do these surfaces for private playgrounds, or home swing set systems, only municipalities because of "product liability problems". Go figure! Sometime after all this I happened to be at a party and was introduced to a man who was a "Certified Playground Inspector" (who'd of ever thunk we needed such?) and we talked about this surface. He confirmed that the type asked about, the mixed and poured surface, was not availabe to the homeowner. The cut up tire chunks are available to homeowners in bags at local big box stores, can you say "KA-CHING $$, or can be bought in bulk in larger cities, such as Atlanta area where I've seen it affordably in bulk. I hope this helps. David
Most of it seems to run $6.00 to $6.50 a square foot. And, believe it or not, that is in either 6" loose fill or 1/2" mat form. You'd think the loose stuff would be a lot cheaper. I've never seen stuff like that that's poured in place as a solid surface.
So you're looking at about $1,400 to $1,600, I'd guess.
There are different "grades" of this stuff too
Chopped up tires = steel belted radials = metal mixed in
They have magnets that they run to pull metal out
But there have been "contaminated batches" that have gone out w/steel & glass
I'm sticking with wood for now
My kid sticks too much on his mouth or is face fits on the ground
I'd prefer he not be breathing/chewing ground up tires
I have seen interlocking rubber tiles made from recycled tires available at the big-box home centers. I don't recall the price, but i don't think they were expensive. That would appear to be the easiest way to go.
Loose round rubber playground material is available. Possibly they mix it with a hardening compound sometimes (Alberta Enviromental Rubber Products has a photo of a school track or their web site) but I'll bet that's not a DIY project.
Rubber Mulch
Here is a nice article on the right fall surface for play sets. I did some searching and found some links to buy rubber chips/mulch at some retail stores such as Lowes.

The 1981 Frog's Leap Sauvignon Blanc is what we feel a Sauvignon Blanc should be. It is a dry wine of substantial scale that carries itself well, as it retains a delicacy to compliment food, not overwhelm." These are the words that we chose to introduce our Sauvignon Blanc, and in fact, our winery to the world. Dubbed a "Prince of a Wine" by the New York Times in 1982, this wine set a course that hasn't veered much from its original ideals. Today this wine is still made from 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc grapes and done so in such a way that the alcohol is kept low, the acidity high, and the flavors crisp and refreshing. In fact, the only changes we've made along the way have been in pursuit of a noble quest: to make a Sauvignon Blanc that is so indicative of the place in which it is grown that it could come from nowhere else.
Each of the Sauvignon Blancs Frog's Leap has made during the past few years embodies the fine-tuning we've done along this journey. A little Semillon was added to the blend in 1992 but was taken out a few years later. The wine became 100 percent stainless-steel fermented and aged in the late '90s. It began to carry the Rutherford appellation in 2001. And in 2002 it began to be made exclusively from dry-farmed, organically grown vineyards. From all of this we have learned a simple lesson: the less we interfere in the cellar with the perfectly grown clusters, the more beautiful the wine becomes.
John Williams grew up in Western New York and originally attended Cornell University to extend his studies as a dairyman. A fortuitous work-study program at Taylor Wine Company and a few bottles of wine later, John entered the Enology and Viticulture Masters Program at UC Davis. Following Davis, he returned to the Finger Lakes as the start-up winemaker at Glenora Wine Cellars. Taking inspiration from his first Napa Valley winemaking post in the cellars of Stag's Leap, John began making wine commercially in 1981 and named the new operation "Frog's Leap."
Frog's Leap presents a relaxed approach to enjoying wine. An easy hospitality and warm sense of humor is juxtaposed with a more serious sensibility when making wine. Frog's Leap produces some of Napa Valley's finest wines and, undoubtedly, has one of the wine world's best mottos: "Time's Fun When You're Having Flies."
The wines produced range from Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay to Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. We have quite the line up to offer so we hope you'll try one of these delicious wines that harmoniously combine quality, sustainability and value.
First certified by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) in 1988 Frog's Leap has been a leader in the industry for over two decades. The winery relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost and biological pest control to maintain soil productivity and control pests on a farm. Organic farming excludes the use of manufactured fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators and genetically modified organisms. Organic farming involves mechanical weed control (via cultivating or hoeing) rather than herbicidal weed control.

: This is a disaster!
The company I work for is relocating to an office that is 35-45 minutes away. It is a very small company (2 owners and myself) and they live in a town in that area. The office is currently located in my town and the commute time is 5 minutes, so I can go home for lunch etc... I make a very low wage so this will mean a lot more money for gas and more mileage on my car.
I asked if I could work a few days from home and commute a few days, or work at home full time. But the guy said neither of them really wanted me to do that. It was either I work at home full time or work at the office full time. And if I wanted to do it from home he would want to pay me once/month for completing the magazine. I can only imagine what amount they would want to pay. They briefly discussed trying to provide me with a gas card or a raise but couldn't afford it.
I would gladly commute if it was a job I enjoyed and was getting paid a reasonable amount of money, but neither of those qualities apply to this job. My sole responsibility is to put together a magazine and I can't work on anything until one of the owners provides me with things to insert into the magazine. This usually doesn't happen until the week before the magazine is due. I would ask for other things to do, but both of these people have started working part time, and don't come to the office when they are supposed to, so a majority of the time I am sitting in an office by myself browsing the net. When they did come to the office and I asked for things to do it usually resulted in a 5 minute task. This makes me feel guilty because I'm getting paid and should be working but there is honestly nothing to do.
I think that I didn't see this job for what it really was and I took it because I was desperate to leave my old job. It took me 1.5 years of being at my old job to find this job. So I guess I'm going to be forced to commute and have even less money. Because its not like I have any jobs lined up. I could possibly find another low paying, entry level job somewhere, but then I'd feel that I was giving up my career dreams. But I'm waiting for a job to pop up that doesn't exist because all the jobs I am interested in are populated in cities and I don't live in or near a city.
Why is it that life just seems to fall into place for some people? And others lead a disastrous life? Sometimes I feel so hopeless and that perhaps I should jump off a bridge or something. I won't really do that, but it is a very attractive option. I have no clue what to do.
*More info for those who care: This co. was originally started by 2 guys (one of the guys own the building the company is currently housed in). Then the 2 people I deal with bought into the company later on. Well the first two are no longer making any contributions to the co. and so they decided to dissolve it. The other 2 have created their own co. I saw a paper saying that the old company has no assetts and $40k in debt so I don't feel that this is a secure job, or that the company will last very long. The guy who owns the building is jacking up the rent so they are forced to move the company.

There is nothing more difficult in the world of fantasy football than nailing weekly start/sit predictions. There is also nothing more critical to the success of your fantasy football squad. The accuracy of weekly rankings is the most relevant measuring stick of a fantasy football expert's worth, and for the second consecutive season the Fantasy Football Crystal Ball Accuracy Challenge measured that worth by ranking the rankers.
Nineteen of the top fantasy football sites had the courage to participate in the 2010 contest. Every fantasy footballer got the benefit of the Fantasy Football Crystal Ball Accuracy Challenge, taking the experts to task and chronicling their hits and misses. Fantasy Football Crystal Ball subscribers enjoyed the extra benefit of having their lineups automatically retrieved from their league management systems and receiving customized start/sit advice based on specific data from the best fantasy football sites in the world.
The winners at each position and overall champion2 were decided by the points they accumulated over the length of the entire season. The fact that only two experts, FantasyFootballTrader and FOX Sports, managed to finish in the top five in both the first and second half of the season attests to how difficult it is to perform well week in and week out.
KFFL ruled the first half of the 2010 season while FantasyFootballTrader edged out ProFootballFocus to win the second half. FOX Sports took home the category wins in two of the six positions tracked, Quarterback and Tight End.
FantasyFootballTrader took home the titles in an unprecedented three categories, Running Back, Wide Receiver, and Team Defense/Special Teams. FantasyFootballJungle was the only site to crash the FOX Sports/FantasyFootballTrader party by owning the Place kicker category.
Ultimately, consistency prevailed as FOX Sports and FantasyFootballTrader slugged it out for overall supremacy in the 2010 Fantasy Football Crystal Ball Accuracy Challenge. As you may have guessed from the positional category results, FantasyFootballTrader is the new king of the fantasy football experts, edging out FOX Sports for the 2010 crown. CBS Sports, KFFL, and Razzball rounded out the top five.
Congratulations to all of the winners and thank you to the sites that were brave enough to participate in a very public challenge that pitted the best sites against each other.

Why do u even bother to respond! Its not a religion flag... its another country's flag... another type of government NOT A RELIGIOUS SYMBLE! You can sit down in ur comfortable home in safty and speak of what"we" as an american country can do... be a little observant! The flag flying next to that well known terristic country's symbol of hate and prosecution, is the only flag that was givin rights to be flown with our american flag and states flags. That flag represents the horrific battle our county men had to go through...so u can even open ur mouth without being killed or stonned to death.
MIA/POW flag should be givin respect, as our american flag should be...not put on a building for advertisment!

You mean the US flag??
Yeah the USA used torture, kidnapping, incarceration without due process, overthrew a few diplomatically elected governments for material gain and replaced their diplomatically elected leaders with dictators, trained and equipped death squads, invaded peaceful countries and took over, attempted assassinations of world leaders, etc, but I don't know if I would go so far as to call it terroristic. But yeah, I know many other countries see the USA that way, and are justified in thinking that.
The hate, well yeah that's been around forever. I think you mean persecution, not prosecution, though we do both quite well, and often too

At first I thought you were talking about the Rebel flag, never actually used by the CSA, but a well known symbol hate and terror used for over a century by the KKK and other hate groups, and racists in general.
But it isn't a "country's" flag, even if it is "country" folk that use it most, so that probably isn't what you meant

We got a great pizza from Hunts Bro. Pizza tonight. Was made while we waited. They could use an area where pizza customers can wait for their order. The pizza was 1/2 meat on one side and meat & veggies, mushrooms & jalapeno's on the other. Was exactly what I ordered. Was very very good. Got an order of spicy hot wings. They were good, but have do admit they are not as good as pizza pros hot wings. They are the best I have found anywhere. The price was $10 difference. For a state employee & single parent. That makes a difference. The employee's were friendly, but the guy at the register made my creep radar go off. He stared like people from that culture do. The guy making pizza at least wasn't obvious. That is my only complaint. Don't like the way the cashier was making me uneasy with his staring. May call order in by phone next time so my time in the store will be very limited.

Dang!!!!! Give the little guys a break would ya???Some of us like pizza pro,some like the other,but if ya want a good frozen pizza,u should give Diorginos a try...and yes i prob spelled it wrong.But they are really close to fresh baked pizza,in my opinion.And if you want an honest opinion about any of our pizzas over here,go to italy,we might just get laughed out of town!

Pizza is not still in Trinity. There is a new pizza place. They use real cheese,tomatoes, hand made crust, and a recipe for their pizza sauce. I find the pizza to be excellent! Every thing is fresh. They also bake it in an open oven, like an open fire place. If you have not tried it you should. I find the price is reasonable. People get what they pay for.

RESULTS: Would You Vote to Limit Campaign Spending?
In a 5-4 decision on Wednesday, April 2, the Supreme Court ruled that limits on the total amount of money individuals can give to candidates, political parties and political action committees are unconstitutional.
The ruling removes the cap on contributions, but does not change limits on individual contributions for president or Congress, currently set at $2,600 per election.
RESULTS: Would You Vote to Limit Campaign Spending?
We asked If you were given the option, would you vote to limit the amount of money that Senate, House and Presidential candidates could raise and spend on their election campaigns? Or do you feel such laws are a violation of First Amendment rights? We had a 2/3 split, with 67% of respondents saying they would NOT support such leglislation.

U2 Set to Perform Tonight on 'Top of the Rock'
February 16, 2014
U2 is expected to give a free performance on "Top of the Rock" in New York City within the next hour or two. That's the name of the upper observation deck on top of NBC's headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. Twitter user "Magz" was able to buy a ticket this afternoon to get up to the lower observation deck, where this photo was taken:
As you can see, lighting and staging is clearly being set up. Magz later tweeted that the Rutgers marching band was there, and guitar strings were being tuned.
The performance tonight is expected to be -- at least in part -- a rehearsal for the band's appearance on Monday's premiere of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. A number of U2.com members in the New York City area were invited yesterday to attend either Monday's premiere show or tonight's dress rehearsal. Fans who were selected for tonight's event were also made to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which makes you think the band's performance could be a little more than just a rehearsal for tomorrow.
We'll do our best to update this news article as needed, but really, the best place to get the latest news about what's going on is by following us on Twitter.

The city of Tacoma began cracking down on medical marijuana dispensaries last week, sending letters to three of them that have had their business licenses revoked.
Emerald Pharms, T-Town Alternative Medicine and The Vape Bar, all located in South Tacoma, received cease and desist orders. They have until Sept. 17 to halt sales.
The city considers these three businesses to be in sensitive areas, meaning they are too close to schools, churches or parks. One is across the street from a community center.
Danielle Larson, manager of the city's Tax and License Division, said T-Town Alternative Medicine and Emerald Pharms have exhausted their appeal rights. Both applied for licenses in 2011. They were denied and appealed. Larson said their appeals processes ended in January, when the city's hearings examiner ruled in favor of the city.
Larson said The Vape Bar could utilize the appeals process if the owner chooses. When that establishment applied for a license, the paperwork indicated the business activity would be "electronic cigarettes and accessories; tobacco," according to the letter the city sent out. However, code enforcement officers for the city have viewed marijuana plants inside and on the roof of the building and smelled a strong marijuana odor. According to the letter, an Internet advertisement for The Vape Room offers "medical patients a free joint" and states that "vaping is permitted."
Larson said what was stated on the application is a legal business but "they were denied because they were not truthful in the activity they were conducting."
Larson said the city is aware of 25 other establishments that could receive such letters.
Tacoma City Council recently took action that would allow for collective gardens of marijuana intended for medical use, under certain conditions. Retail outlets selling the substance would not be allowed. Larson noted that the new city policy classifies the dispensaries as a nuisance, and they are not allowed inside the city limits. Collective gardens would be allowed if they are not in a sensitive area and do not generate complaints from nearby residents or business owners.

A couple weeks ago, I became briefly fascinated and somewhat appalled by the appearance of a new Internet business that offered a sort of insurance against speeding tickets. In return for an annual fee of $169, ticketfree.org promised to reimburse you for the costs of up to $500 in moving violations. Its webpage enthused:
- We dont promise that you wont get a ticket; we just promise that you wont have to pay for it.
- Never pay another ticket again. Period!
- Never pay late fees on tickets.
- Never worry about speed traps or radar while driving.
- Never need an expensive ticket lawyer.
- Never have a take a day off work to fight a ticket.

The Cottage Rental Season is from May through September.
As a child in Port Angeles, I enjoyed many wonderful summer days on Lake Crescent. Now we are the happy owners of this lovely lakefront cabin, always in awe of the magnificent setting. We spend many hours walking the trails, kayaking, swimming, basking in the scenery.
We are both musicians, I having recently retired from teaching school music. My husband is an instrument maker, building beautiful harpsichords, and a nature photographer. He finds endless photo opportunities at the lake and all around Olympic National Park & the Olympic Peninsula. See our photo collection.
Cheryl M. Will purchased this cottage in 1994
Our family found this stunning property in 1994. Little by little, we built this sweet cottage, completing it in 2005. Its setting is so remarkable & the outdoor opportunities so rich, we feel very fortunate.
Lake Crescent, 620' deep shimmering jewel, was carved by a huge glacier thousands of years ago. It rests within the northern borders of Olympic National Park, 20 miles west of Port Angeles, Washington on Highway 101. The pristine, crystal-clear lake quietly hugs steep mountain ridges, clad with ancient forests of western hemlock, Douglas fir, grand fir, & at the lower levels: moss-draped big leaf maples and alder.
Cottage on Lake Crescent is available to those who love a spectacular setting for an adventuresome or restful vacation.
We had the best time here. The cabin was exactly as described. The view was beyond words. We sat out on the lounge chairs almost every second we were there. None of the other neighbors were around. We had the whole cove to ourselves, except for a few deer and ducks hanging out with us. Everyone who sees my pictures wants to go there, too. The Lake Crescent Lodge has great food, and it's just a short walk away.
Just spent our honeymoon at this perfect little cabin. It backs right up to the lake and has the most gorgeous views. We spent several days just relaxing, kayaking, hiking some of the nearby trails ( there is very short hike to a lovely waterfall that is walking distance from the cabin) and even swimming! We also took day trips to the coast and to Victoria Canada, which we highly recommend. There are a bunch of great restaurants in Port Angeles ( we recommend The Next Door Gastropub) and the Lake Crescent Lodge Restaurant was quite nice too. There are bunch of chairs to lay out in by the lake and read and a nice little fire pit. The cottage itself is the perfect size and simple but charming. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and we had no trouble cooking several somewhat complex meals. Everything was clean and in order when we arrived. We had the best time and we are so sad to be leaving!
We enjoyed every minute of our mini vacation on Lake Crescent......hanging out by the beach, swimming, kayaking, hiking, and relaxing. Enjoyed viewing the deer in the morning, otters in the afternoon, and bats at night. Loved the location...spent time at Hurricane Ridge, ocean beaches, Salt Creek County Park, and Lake Crescent lodge. The Marion berry cobbler at the lodge is delicious! We highly recommend this cabin and hope to return in the future!
The Lake Crescent Cottage was a great base for exploring the northern portions of the Olympic Peninsula. The setting is beautiful, and each sunset is a different experience to relish and enjoy. The bottle of wine we found upon arrival definitely added to the enjoyment.
The well equipped kitchen was perfect for preparing meals and the washer-dryer were a big plus for washing hiking clothes.
Being within a 10 minute walk to Lake Crescent Lodge and several nice hikes was convenient. Close proximity to Hurricane Ridge and Cape Flattery was a plus as well. Port Angeles was only a 30 minute drive if catching the ferry to Victoria & Vancouver Island.
The suggestions on things to do in the area and the cottage's supply of hiking guides & other information on the area were excellent.
Choosing the Will's Lake Front Cottage for a visit to Lake Crescent is something we'll never forget and will recommend to family and friends.
First, the good news. Location absolutely cannot be beat! Adjacent to Lake Crescent Lodge, near the end of a Dead End road, which makes for a quiet, nestled into the woods atmosphere, yet with easy access to the Lodge's conveniences (wifi, restaurant, boat rentals, etc). You are next to Storm King, so easy walk to Marymere Falls.
We had not been in the house 5 min, when we were greeted by a deer in the yard. We saw many more, practically a daily routine. I also saw a raccoon in the yard early one morning, so keep that in mind for small children.
Recommend stopping at Granny's diner (onion rings delish & they were selling ice cream cones like they were going out of style). 10 min east on 101.
The cabin, itself, boasts spectacular views of the lake - blown away! Our favorite activity was simply eating meals, drinking hot chocolate or tea, or reading a book, while taking in the view and listening to the waves lap the shore. VRBO was entirely accurate. I wish I could post pictures. You have two BRs, plus a sleeper-sofa. Wood stove warms the cold nights. The living room/dining room/kitchen all face the lake, plenty of windows and French doors. The bathroom and kitchen are both very clean and functional (even a towel warmer next to the shower). Kitchen had plenty of dishes and silverware, and dishwasher, as well as a full-size refrigerator/freezer, which was really nice. One thing to keep in mind, bring ALL of your food with you; the cupboards are bare, except for salt/pepper, and a few other seasonings. I should also mention that there was a bottle of wine waiting for us at our arrival. We are non-drinkers, but nonetheless appreciated the sentiment.
The owner, Cheryl, was phenomenal - replied to all inquiries w/in 24 hrs (usually much less). When I had a question about directions, she called to make sure I was comfortable. She also provided great info about local hiking trails in advance of our trip. The cabin has even more books with trail descriptions and maps. Bravo!
I would like to give a 5 star rating, but one negative was loud neighbors. After the first two nights of peace and solitude, they showed up with no less than 5 children, 2 dogs, and plenty of loud adults (yelling). The "fishbowl" feel with all the windows and strangers constantly in the yard was awkward. They walked through our backyard and beach, even though we were asked (per sign in Cabin) to stay off of their beach/dock -- show respect to get respect.
The Cottage on Lake Crescent is....let me just make a list: very clean, very comfortable, very cute and cozy, classy,organized, everything you might need/want is supplied, the view is unsurpassed,the list of things to do and places to see is extensive-the area is incredible-even the ocean is not TOO far away, the owners are great, helpful and responsive. We stayed three days, mainly to relax and row the lake; the time went way too fast, it was absolutely delightful and we would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Cottage on Lake Crescent is just a short walk down the road or through the forest to Lake Crescent Lodge, where one can enjoy its restaurant, bar, gift shop, large public dock, enjoy kayak, paddle-board, rowboat, canoe rentals, and walks and talks with the Olympic National Park rangers.

California's Enterprise Zone program retooled
Restrictions imposed on how companies receive tax credits
INDIO, Calif. - There are big changes on the way for California's Enterprise Zone program.
Last week, Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation that restructures the program that's supposed to promote business growth in some of the state's economically challenged areas.
The Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone includes parts of Indio, Coachella, Mecca, Thermal and Thousand Palms.
Part of the new law means businesses in the zone will find it tougher to get state tax credits for creating jobs and hiring people who are considered to have a barrier to employment, a group that includes the long-term unemployed, veterans and felons. In order to meet the new requirements, employees must be paid at least $12 an hour.
AT Designs in Indio, a company that manufactures various medals, awards and souvenirs, decided to relocate a manufacturing plant from Mexico to the Coachella Valley six years ago, since it knew it could enjoy a 25 to 30 percent savings in annual operating costs as a result of the current enterprise zone credits.
"Without that, I know we wouldn't be here, because the owner wouldn't have set up shop, that was the biggest thing to help him," said George Bednarczy, general manager of AT Designs.
While the state is making it harder for businesses to qualify for tax credits in an effort to reduce waste in the Enterprise Zone Program, Mark Weber, the manager of the Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone, says the retooling of program will eliminate tax credits for almost all of the local businesses currently participating in the program.
"We've done some analysis in our zone, and of the thousands of vouchers that we do on an annual basis, 1 percent will be able to be vouchered under the governor's, quote, new enterprise program," Weber said.
Weber says businesses need to contact his office to make sure they get all the credits they've earned before the current program expires in January.

Yes, there are lots of directories, but this means many things - it could mean a bad html design, with broken links, index.html code showing on upload, and just plain nastyness without a care for design, the visitor or advertiser. What you need are pure authority portals - these are superior in every way imaginable and will give valuable links that should serve you well in the long-term.
You will find the top directories are easy to find without much searching, and these are the ones you want. If it takes too much digging to find a niche directory, then you can be pretty sure it fails on most levels to effectively promote itself.
I suggest you start with brands like Reed Business Group, as they have about 45 niche portals to their name and are well established - the only downside to this is they charge quite hefty fees, but saying that it may be worth the targeted traffic they will send.
Looksmart also have many portals to their name and again, check out the charges. Other than these 2, there are few that can match the traffic they send.
You could opt for many hours of searching for that nugget, but I doubt you will find these incredible directories everyone talks about, but if you do, please remember me and send me a copy of the list!
[edited by: Helpinghand at 3:14 am (utc) on June 30, 2007]
Many niches have very high quality free directories, assembled with love and affection, and kept right up to date; others have just some sad portal set up by a B list site who just want a few adsense dollars. Some (eg real estate, travel), you'll find thousands of cr*p directories and you'll be amazingly lucky to find a single quality one.
Most are somewhere in between. But a specialised, quality niche directory will do what virtually no general directory will ever do - bring you direct referrals in good numbers.
You may be unlucky - but the search is well worth doing. And when you have done that, also search (if relevant) for local directories.

Ok, go to dmoz, and search the directories there first. I did this myself the other day, as was after specialist directories in my area, but out of the 3 I found my findings were:
-- And you will find a lot of this misinformation.....
Now let's get serious and move away from all this hundreds of fantastic directories chat, as it wastes time and does little good (as Quadrille kindly pointed out). On searching the dmoz in a sub area to mine, I found 4 directories that were kind of related, but not, I repeat with conviction - not good links for me, and thus refused to list with them on that criteria alone.
So out of the 4, maybe only 1 will be good for a link, and thus NOT the hundreds of links that many webmasters promise lol. There are not tons of these niche directories, only a couple at most. My point and theory is people try and force you to spend time chasing non-existent websites, and keep you from running your business. This way they can get ahead of you in the link building stakes.
Don't listen to it and be sensible in your promotional efforts. This is not about going after any old directory link, you need the targeted ones, directories that are authorities and these are tough to track down, they really are, because they don't promote. They are good, but just not interested in promotion for whatever reason.
So it would be better if folks here can tell others where these directories are instead of "Oh do a search at Google". More helpful yes..... Ahh, but we aren't allowed to post urls - difficult.
Interesting threads have their place, but people want to know the location of these super duper directories and sites etc - and will lose interest when they don't find what they are looking for. Might even never come back.
Maybe there's a way around this huge problem.
We're talking about niche directories here; we don't know which industry he's in (or the other readers of this thread).
It's a fact that some of the best niche directories simply won't be found in 'directories of directories', because their owners simply have no need to list them - and maybe no desire to have the thousands of spammy non-relevant submissions that follows a liting in a major directory.
By all means search ODP and a few other likely places. But for niche stuff, almost by definition ... you gotta search. Saving that time may mean missing the best.
Some time spent with Google is a very sound investment. You'll thank me later ;)

What do you love about your job?
I love the opportunities I face each day. Here is one example: The greatest challenge I have faced so far was a student whose parents wanted him to learn different material than he wanted to learn. I had to find a compromise where I was teaching what his parents desired for him, so they would let him continue to take lessons on the instrument he loved. I also had to make it fun for the student or he was not going to apply himself to his playing. So, I found a way to teach the theory that his parents wanted him to learn, but make it fun for him by incorporating songs he loved into the lessons. It was a win-win for both the parents and the student. I was able to do what I love--to encourage the student to love the guitar, while improving his playing skills.
Who or what inspired you to start your business?
I had a love for guitar at a very early age. My uncle Jerry used to play and he helped me get started giving me my first Mel Bay guitar book. Over the years, I learned mostly through video instructional and self-study. I tried out some guitar lessons, but was unhappy with how most lessons were being taught. Questions were left unanswered because 'time was up'. There didn't seem to be a smooth transition to end each lesson. I wasn't able to challenge what I was being taught. So I decided that once I knew the guitar well, I would teach in a way that encouraged the musician to help structure their lessons to fulfill what they desired to get out of it. I have always worked fairly independent jobs and enjoy the entrepreneurial work. So this is my dream come true. Now working with over hundreds of clients through the years, I get to run my own business, doing what I love and helping encourage others to love it as well. But in it, they are sure to get what they want out of the guitar lessons. It is always a win-win!

RE: Oh, those complex values!!!
I would much prefer to write your f definition as follows...
f[a_, b_, c_, d_][x_] = x Log[a + b x + Sqrt[c + 2d x + x^2]];
If you do an indefinite integration you must always remember that the answer
is the returned value plus a constant. That constant could be a complex
number that undoes the imaginary number you get in your result. Also the
returned result contains multivalued functions and this complicates the
picture more.
A general definite integral seems to take too long, but if you integrate
with specific values of a, b, c, d you can obtain exact real results in
reasonable time.
Integrate[f[2, 2, 10, 1][x], {x, 0, 1}]
NIntegrate[f[2, 2, 10, 1][x], {x, 0, 1}]

Integrating a real function, getting complex values again. How to get
the correct answer here? How to systematically avoid this pitfall?
f=x Log[a+b x+Sqrt[c+2d x+x^2]];
t = Assuming[c>d^2&&a>0&&b>0,Integrate[f, x]];
9.50705\[InvisibleSpace]-29.7626 \[ImaginaryI]

To see a larger size version of slideshow, click here.
This a slideshow of some of the large scale visual notes I created onstage at TEDxPhilly last Thursday. I had a fantastic time visualizing presentations, sharing the stage with people like Stephen Powers, Christin O'Keefe Aptkowicz, Stanford Thompson, and an array of other of Philadephia's most creative social entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, and educators.
More large scale visual notes to come, as well as a more in depth blog post, later today. (Update, all the images are up now. I was not able to get a picture of Iyad Obeids talk so if you photographed that one and could send me a copy, I'd be much obliged.)
Here is a link to the individual large scale visual notes.
If you are from the press (or anywhere else for that matter) and would like a larger version image of any of these, email me at jonny(at)envizualize.com and I'll send you one. Or feel free to use them as is. That goes for bloggers too.
