(zz) 我为旅行狂－－－Grand Canyon惊鸿之撇(2010年5月6日--9日)

对于黄石,大峡谷,还有大瀑布的狂热执着,我们终于在上周末实现了三分之一的圆梦计划.其中要鼎立感谢我家本田20小时不遗余力地勤劳工作.这其中要对家庭成员熊宝未能加入深表遗憾.这其中要对在母亲节作出卓越贡献的老妈送上经久不息的热烈掌声。
大峡谷国家公园在美国西部亚利桑那州，以横贯其中的科罗拉多河在亿万年间切割出的大峡谷而闻名世界,大峡谷总长446公里，最宽处近30公里，最深处1600米。河水切出的岩石断壁纵跨地球形成过程中逾10亿年的历史.这条著名的峡谷由安静流淌在谷底的科罗拉多河用600万年的光阴一点点切割而成.河水层层切割出的岩石断面展现了从20亿年前至今的地球形成史...这些数字,不免让人觉得生硬.真正的感受，数字又确实无法衡量.只有你亲身站在绝壁边，放眼这浩瀚的旷世奇景,才能从心底里发出对造物的由衷赞叹.
                                    

大峡谷不只是一道深深的山谷，宽阔的峡谷中，层层叠叠还有许多陡峭的山体和峭壁，形态千变万化。这一带山体呈红褐色,纵横数十里的视线被大气朦胧着，恍然如视沙漠中的海市蜃楼。这就是大峡谷最著名的风光之一沙漠全景(Desert View)。我们于峡谷的南缘驻车,开始徒步地探寻这一派奇观绝景,5月的时节对于峡谷来讲还是分外温柔的,可惜色彩略显单薄.远远地向峡谷对面北缘眺去,依稀见得松绿的植被开始悄然萌动.北缘也是有游人的吧,像我们一样感叹着自然的力量,膜拜着这绝对浑然天成的奥妙.

去谷底只有两个办法，走路或者骑骡子。骑骡入谷，是大峡谷上百年来长盛不衰、最具风景的一项活动。不过，在骡背上摇晃着，随着骡队前进，在山崖边毫无规则而又及其狭窄的小道上下行,亟需勇气。换上登山靴，将水瓶塞进行囊，步行才是惟一的可能。从南缘步行曲折下行至科罗拉多河畔,再从彼地盘旋上行到北缘,一共需要整整两天的时间.这让众多的探寻着望而却步,也让大峡谷的浩瀚更沁染人心.
大峡谷的小道,多数是在山崖上硬用炸药炸出的小径，盘旋曲折。到达平衡些的地方回头看，刚刚走过的路好像一丝细线嵌在直上直下的山崖之上，线上那些缓慢移动的小点就是想要征服自然的人们。若是走过一处转角，眼前便会豁然开朗，山势壮丽，谷中云雾蒸腾.峡谷内就有驻足点,因为路过此地的人都会“唔哇”地感叹，所以得名“唔哇点”(Ooh-aah Point)
峡谷内的植物分外单一.然而我们意外地发现.在小学教科书中出现的尺蠖,居然活生生出现在了眼前.这个红色circle里面的就是尺蠖了.居然真的真的和树枝是一模一样的啊,要不是不小心碰到它,然后它分外快速而柔软得卷曲了它的身体,我是不能相信它是动物,而又真的如此会伪装自己的.真是大收获,大收获啊..
峡谷的落日不同于海边,不同于崇山峻岭.这美,应该是源自内心.老藤和昏鸦倒是并无多少,可枯树满目皆是.20亿年,这概念太难在心里消化了.这浩日,依旧升,依旧降,依旧演绎轮回,依旧给年轻的人们,展示峡谷的种种.
　　　


清晨的峡谷,更加彰显了世界七大自然景观的况美绝情.露营之后的深夜还未偃息清冷,红日便开始跨过科罗拉多河畔,不分南北地挥洒金容.日渐升高,唤醒静默的层峦叠嶂,暖暖地照着，轻轻地抚慰着.空气中是树木的芬芳,还有清风猎猎。深海的邃蓝是刹那的逸动,随之将上的是姜黄,是金之风范,是橙之雍容,是血红之隽美.无声无息,万静之后的骤变,让眼前轰然充盈起来.这样的变更,是自然每日必行的常理吧,在人们的眼中成了万般感叹的奇迹.脉脉来,默默去.看看这眼前,体味这状景,应不再有什么值得日日抱怨,时时感怀了...

Oracle ORA-01000 maximum open cursors exceeded

Several days ago, I wrote a piece of program in C#/.Net to import some records into oracle database. It is windows version 10g XE. When the program is running, I got a run-time error which is ORA-01000 maximum open cursors exceeded. Here is the Oracle docs about ORA-01000: ORA-01000 maximum open cursors exceeded Cause: A host language program attempted to open too many cursors. The initialization parameter OPEN_CURSORS determines the maximum number of cursors per user. Action: Modify the program to use fewer cursors. If this error occurs often, shut down Oracle, increase the value of OPEN_CURSORS, and then restart Oracle. In order to solve this problem, I increased my OPEN_CURSORS by using: ALTER SYSTEM SET open_cursors = 5000 SCOPE=BOTH; You can use SQL/PL client and "connect" command to login the database system by using "system" user to change the open_cursors. If you are using .NET, DBA, and Java programming, please remember to close all the re...

Comparison == vs equals() in Java

In java, we have two operations (" == " and " equals() ") to check the equivalence of String s. It is important to understand that the difference between them.    == The == operator compares the two objects and checks to see if two objects are exactly the same object (refer to the same instance). .equals() The equals() method compares the characters in the two different objects. Two strings may be different objects , but can contains the same values (exactly the same characters). public class Main {     public static void main(String[] args) {         String s1 = "Shangshu";         String s2 = new String(s1);         System.out.println(s1 + " == " + s2 + " is " + (s1 == s2));         System.out.println(s1 + ".equals(" + s2 + ") is " + (s1.equals(s2)));     } } The output of the above code is:...

Tips about sizeof() function in C and C++

The unary operator sizeof is used to calculate the sizes of datatypes in Bytes in modern luanguages in the programming languages C and C++. It is an useful operation in memory allocation. In order to use it right, some tips that you may want to know: sizeof() is a compile-time function (macro-like function), not a run-time function. Therefore, you can declare array as: int arr[sizeof(int)]; because sizeof() is a compile-time function, the equation in sizeof() function will not be calculated. For example: int i=3; int a = sizeof(i++); the value of i will not be changed after sizeof(i++);  because sizeof() is a compile-time function, it can not help you determine the size of an array parameter. The following code will print out size 12 and 4. void test_sizeof(int arr[]) { cout << "sizeof(arr) = " << sizeof(arr) << endl; } int main() { int arr[3]; cout << "sizeof(arr) =" << sizeof(arr) << endl; te...
