Encoded by Apex Data Services
Captain Bowker's maritime career began in the 1930s, sailing a three-masted schooner off Nova Scotia. His second ship was a five-masted schooner, of which he gives an excellent description in the interview. In 1941 he went to officer's school and became a 3rd mate. He was still on schooners during the early part of World War II and discusses being stopped by the U.S. Navy to have the ship's cargo inspected. Later in the war he served on a tanker where he was exposed to toxic gas fumes. He was hospitalized for three months, whereupon his merchant marine career ended when it was discovered he had permanent lung damage.
After his merchant marine career ended, he became very involved with Sea Scouts (which included Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts), taking them on sailing adventures in two-masted schooners.

Hey, Cosmo Girl. It's Ali Lohan. I hope you tune in to watch my new show on E! called Living Lohan, Sunday nights at 10:30 p.m.
The tabloids have been so fast and furious as of late. I mean, the past two years have just been ridiculous, what they've said about, you know, my daughter and our family. My back was against the wall. Really nice [unknown] come into my home. Judge us, you know, and then just leave us alone.
It was weird at first but then we started to get used to it and then we started to get to know everyone and then the crew started to come like our family. There was a lot of- it was a lot of fun.
You can't shield them. They go to school. You know, but I think it's a learning experience for Ali.
Being where my sister is, I now know what to do and not to do. It's more pressure but that everybody's watching and stuff. But I'm very excited for people to see what I love to do and I'm not just doing it because my sister does it. I'm doing it because I love to do it. Right now, I'm home schooling because it's hard to be juggling. My movie's coming out and I'm in Ali's single and I'm working on the album. And so, I'm home schooling right now. But in 9th grade next year, I'm going to all-girls Catholic school.
You know, at times, it's difficult because I am protective. I am their mother, but I have a really great team of people that I work with. I trust the people who, you know, we're working with Ali and Lindsay. So, I mean, that's very important and people don't know about it. They don't sit there and like watch everything that happens, you know.
Just assure that like we are real nice, normal people.
It's also entertaining when we touch in some serious topics as well. And I am a single mom with four children and that's hard and there's so many women out there that are doing and men as well, I'm sure. But I just think, you know, you can succeed and if you work hard just to show that, you know, give inspiration, I think, more than anything.

"Amy must stop sucking her thumb! She is damaging her upper palate and distorting her teeth"
With those words ringing in her ears, Cathy Sawbridge left her dentist where she had taken her 2 year old daughter for a check up. She resolved to help her stop thumb sucking, but how?
She tried all the old techniques: foul tasting paint, star charts and rewards, nagging her… All with little or no success! When Amy was tired in went the thumb.
Then she found the answer! A discreet medical grade plastic guard which sits over the thumb and is fixed firmly around the wrist with secure brightly coloured bracelets. It works by preventing the child making a seal over their thumb and thereby preventing suction, so they cannot suck.
Amy wore it 24/7. Cathy took it off daily to wash, replacing it with another bracelet. Cathy says "I made the whole experience fun, we colour co-ordinated the bracelets with her clothes each day. She wore it proudly to playgroup and explained to all who would listen it was to help her stop sucking her thumb. It did not inhibit her daily activities at all."
The Results: FANTASTIC
Amy wore it day and night for the first week.
The second week she only needed it at night.
Now she no longer sucks her thumb! The habit has been broken in 2 1/2 weeks. Amy is a more confident child now and so much prettier without a thumb stuck in her mouth! She also twisted her hair into impossible knots when she sucked her thumb, a habit which has gone too.
On their next visit to the dentist, Amy was proudly able to say that she had finally given up thumb sucking! That was 9 years ago now. Amy has never sucked her thumb since and she has no need of braces as her teeth are beautifully aligned.
The Kit contains: 2 plastic thumb guards, 60 coloured disposable bracelets, online video and leaflet.
We also supply a finger guard which covers two fingers and works in the same way to prevent finger sucking.

"The Lone Ranger" is riding again. The pricey Disney movie (with a $250 million budget or more, depending on whom you ask) is nearing the end of one of the longest principal-photography shoots in recent memory.
Filming on the Johnny Depp starrer began February 28 in New Mexico and is expected to wrap at the end of September, for a total of between 140 and 150 shooting days. (The on-set death September 21 of a welder who was preparing an underwater action sequence for the film is not expected to impact the timeline.)
Many who have worked with director Gore Verbinski (the first three Pirates of the Caribbean), whose pursuit of authenticity and scope caused the construction of massive sets and real working trains, say they aren't surprised by the length. "He likes to shoot and shoot and shoot," says one insider.
But some delays were beyond Disney's control: Wind and dust storms damaged the sets, and Johnny reportedly was injured in a fall from a horse.

Double Rainbow in Hollywood

Double rainbow over Los Angeles! What does it mean?
Double Rainbow has made it to Hollywood. No, it's not a movie deal for the infamous YouTube video. Last night an actual, honest to goodness double rainbow graced the sky of Los Angeles.
Of course citizens of California were there, cameras in hand. And like any Hollywood production, the Los Angeles version amped up the action. Not only were there two rainbows - we got epic thunder and lightening as well. All the way.

I'm a business manager and MBA student living in Kansas with my DH and devilish dog, Zoey. I LOVE TO COOK! Cooking is my stress relief and my creative side coming out to play. I have to try really hard to follow a recipe to the letter (except when baking) because I like to modify, improve IMHO and make shortcuts to my favorite foods. DH and I are open to just about any food and I enjoy trying new recipes of all kinds. I LOVE RECIPEZAAR! I've since started trying to convert all my friends and family to Zaar lovers too- I've got one sister on board already- hi RockChalkChick!
To many favorite foods to list all of them, but here's a few of the top choices: guacamole, mexican rice, really good ranch dressing, meatloaf, cheese enchiladas and general tso chicken. I'll eat just about anything at least once except brussel sprouts (I gave it my best) and liver (ew!). My favorite restaurants are Genghis Khan in Kansas City, Jade Garden in Topeka, Buca Di Beppo and just about any mexican food joint in the world.

"Re-Oaking" is an approach to reintegrating oaks and other native trees within the developed California landscape to provide a range of ecosystem services. The concept has emerged from SFEI's research into the distribution and characteristics of California's former valley oak savannas -- a distinctive, widespread habitat that was mostly lost a century ago. Now valley oaks and other native trees are being recognized for the benefits they did -- and could again – provide, as communities design the ecologically healthy and resilient landscapes of the future.
Collaboration with California Academy of Sciences
Valley Oaks: an Ecological Journey through Time
A collaborative program with the California Academy of Sciences produced an immersive tour from the canopy to the cosmos inside Morrison Planetarium, exploring the history and ecology of one of California's most iconic and threatened tree species, the Valley oak. Academy scientists, indigenous partners, and historical ecologists from the San Francisco Estuary Institute revealed how Valley oaks and humans are intertwined in a relationship of disturbance and adaptation, with implications for the health and well-being of Bay Area communities. The first NOAA-funded Worldviews Network event on the West Coast, this program was simulcast to partner institutions across the United States. A post-presentation dialogue was held with regional partners and public audiences after the show.

Today's home electronics bring the ultimate modern technology right into your living room. Some people enjoy watching their movies from a home theater. Others prefer curling up with a good book while listening to a classical music concert on their home audio system. Everyone likes walking into a heated home come wintertime. None of us can live without electricity, but the question for home sellers is whether or not investing in additional electronics is worth it. The reality is that oftentimes, personalized electronic gizmos and gadgets add curb appeal but not monetary home value.

I have reading about how much owners love their Franke Orca sinks and am thinking of getting one. I have a question - the larger part of the sink is on the left and has the drain/garbage disposer. I will be doing food prep to the right of the sink, pushing scraps into the sink from that side. I'm wondering if that will be a problem because the disposer is on the other side. I don't want to feel as if I have to always be washing the scraps away or watching out for dishes draining on a grid on the right. Now I have a double sink with the disposer on the right. I'm looking forward to a single sink. Thanks! |

I have the Franke Orca sink and prep on the right also. My practice is to place a medium size cutting board on the upper shelf grid on the right. When finished I wipe the debris off into the drain or else use the faucet to spray what has fallen on the right side into the drain. Hopefully this helps with your decision. I predict you will love your Orca sink and have no regrets. Please post after it's installed so we can be excited with you. |
I too have the Franke Orca sink and also prep on the right. Years ago I got in the habit of placing a "garbage" bowl in my sink, so everything gets tossed in there. Or I use the spray on my faucet to push things toward the drain. I have a grid in my sink so some things tend to get stuck in it, escpecially when peeling veggies. My previous sink was a double bowl and I don't miss it for one second. I LOVE my Orca and grid! |
Texasgal47 and matti5, thanks for your responses. I wish I could try it out first! I'm a little unsure about sink accessories; it feels like there would be more "stuff" around and I like things uncluttered. Thanks for sharing how this is working for you. I have some time to decide. |

I've heard a lot of people espouse the capabilities of LISP and its omnipotent macros. If LISP is such a great language, why isn't it being adopted more? What problems is LISP facing that is holding it back from (re)emerging as popular language? Is it something about LISP itself ("those brackets!" isn't the answer, is it?!), or its competitors (e.g. the dominance of Java, .NET)?

There has never been a widely accepted lisp environment that:
There are a lot of different lisps out there, and they all have distinct advantages/disadvantages -- most of which are not compatible. This contributes to the absence of a reliable infrastructure for lisp applications, and other languages have fleshed out in this regard while lisp's community has remained fragmented. |
I have heard that recursion is hard to grasp for some programmers, so this may be a factor since recursion is so critical in the language. I personally find recursion not very hard, but I have seen a lot of programmers struggle with it (more the 9-5 type programmers that look puzzled when you mention fibonacci, or scowl when you try to talk programming during lunch... but these are also probably a reasonably large subset of programmers). |
The lack of libraries is the main cause ! We are currently (re)writing fairly large web application in LISP (porting it from java/sql because business logic complexity has grown up to unmanageable proportions). And we had to reinvent the wheel so many times -- think reverse indexing for full text search, extracting content from XLS/DOC files, SMTP message handling (you might think there are a lot of open libraries available until you start receiving messages from real world -- multiple multipart/mixed international encoding parts in one message sent by Outlook/Outlook Express and such...), decent persistence library is also lacking (apart from proprietary/locked AllegroCache -- all other implementations are immature at best, crappy at least ..), exporting datasets to Excel, handling TCP/IP traffic storm caused by heavy AJAX usage in the UI by 800-2000 simultaneously connected clients (Hunchentoon stalls for several seconds), also try to find a decent date-time library capable of adjusting dates for national holidays and so on and so on. I'm a team leader and I had to decline continuous requests from team members to switch to Python. Everyone in the team acknowledges and loves LISP syntax, but it is so difficult when you have to (re)write all the libraries needed... I think we are about to switch to Python soon. LISP prototype we created is good and valuable -- it cleaned-up many design issues for us -- but when we speak about applications for the real world - LISP is not ready yet and will not be in the nearest future. Thank god we have a working Java version to sell to our clients until we experiment with next version of our product - otherwise our small company (only 11 developers) would not be capable of sustaining operation during our LISP experiment. Many developers think Java is lame and strive for an elegant language with beautiful syntax, but sorry guys - Resin Java2EE Applications Server has rapid response to AJAX connections, popular Java SMTP libraries are capable of handling real-world messages, there is Lucene for full-text search, there is joda-time (with extensions) for date-time handling and so on and so on. With Python it's the same - a lot of proven real world libraries. LISP is beatiful language but there's no way to write real-world applications in it. And I'm really sorry about that ... Please excuse me for my bad English - English is not my native language and I already had 3 cups of wine this evening, but nevertheless my message describes a painful first-hand experience. |
Funny how there are millions of coders wanting to program in XML, yet get scared of a few parenthesis. IMO S-expressions are just shorthand for XML :) |
Look at all the misconceptions in these answers and you'll see the number one reason is that the Lisp community failed to get Lisp proper marketing. There were many Lisp dialects in the past. The surviving ones are basically 2: Common Lisp and Scheme, each with different strengths. Scheme is an ongoing minimalist language whose main purposes are to serve as vehicle for research projects and to educate students on fundamental concepts about computations and computability. Many people, thus, get pissed at it for the same reason they get pissed at math or any other educational discipline. Then, they think Scheme/Lisp is a toy without real-world purpose. CL is the industrial-strength ANSI-standard Lisp, basically a very robust and full "batteries-included" standard language, with many strong free and fast implementations and some quality commercial ones with full-blown IDEs. It's not essentially a functional language, instead being a multiparadigm language, though predominantly favoring imperative programming complete with a very robust Object System (CLOS). It also features the famous macro facility for adapting the language for your needs. Last but not least, the implementations compile to very fast code and the runtime can be dynamically patched with new compiled code on-the-fly, possibly after a careful debugging session while the system still runs. No reinitialization means no time spend stopping the systems. The parentheses are only a problem when you: 1) give only a superficial look at the language and see what stands out; 2) don't realize they are an incredible programming aid for editors (structured editing at its best, unless you use primitive stuff like notepad); 3) don't understand it is one of the reasons Lisp macros are so powerful (because Lisp code is represented as Lisp data, a list). |
I've come to believe that the primary reason to use any given language is "How hard is it for the next guy to read". (This is assuming your language produces a reliable program consistently). The smarter the language is, the more difficult it can be to unravel the last guys great code tricks. Concepts like OO are completely unnecessary from the point of view of someone trying to communicate with a computer, but very helpful in organizing your design and communicating it to others. Maybe I've just been looking at c-style code too long, but I find polish notation mostly unnatural--cool but tough to grasp what a large block is doing at a glance. This is the main reason I can't seem to accept Lisp--and I've tried more than once. |
Lisp is a huge paradigm shift: the syntax is different, you may be encouraged or forced to do functional programming and you go from the edit-compile-test cycle to the interactive modification of a running image. That huge paradigm shift is one of the things that made me love Lisp, because it opens the mind. But most humans are reluctant to change. Myths about Lisp probably only are excuses to avoid the change and rationalize. |
Because LISP proponents spent 40 years telling everyone how great it was and no time showing everyone how great it was with real world projects. |
@Guy , @Cody Brocious I guess it is true then |
It's not just LISP, but functional languages in general (ML, Scheme, etc.). The fundamental reasons I see:
However, there are certain "ideals" from functional languages that do make their way into programs. UNIX shell scripting involves linking commands ("functions") together, like "cat foo.txt | sort | uniq -c" which is a functional way of handling it. You define methods and let the data pass through, not even declaring a single variable. Some of the ideas from functional languages are very applicable to the real world, but I think they're seen as disconnected. |
Jeff Atwood makes the argument that it's more about the platform than the language: |
When I first saw LINQ I said to myself "this is LISP for C#." So to answer your question, I think that other languages have been incorporating the best parts of LISP into themselves which makes them more competitive against something like LISP and thereby reduces the come back potential of LISP. Remember that LISP stands for List Processing and LINQ (in C#) gives you amazingly concise power over collections. |
Lisp needs love. A new lisp.org to make newcomers find what they look when asking for themselves "what's Lisp?! how can I learn more?! ok, let me try google about lisp... hmm... Lisp is good". Lisp needs a batteries included package, like Python does. More friendly tutorials to explain the "Lisp world" to newcomers. A Perl CPAN like too. I think Lisp isn't more widely used because of these basic things. Every language today grows with these, Lisp is a 50-years old language, so we need to create these basic things for her. |
There's a lot of accurate information and true-myths here. "Lisp = Lots of irritating superfluous parenthesis" Myth. Yes, you'll see " Yes, Lisp is interesting, but learning X will be too hard -- For X in { functional-programming, recursion, macro-programming, lambda-expressions, ... } Very Real, at least in perception. Lisp has a nice (enough) imperative programming language living in it too, but too often this gets downplayed. Yes, Lisp is cool. But it can also be boring when you need it to be, such as when rehabilitating from an imperative-OO-only language:
Functional programming adherents -- let us collectively cringe at this code once, get it out of the way. Then give it to our C++/Perl/Java/C# colleague, and say "look, this will ease you through the transition". Give them And then tantalize them with some wickedly cool code. That way they'll have tools, confidence, and inspiration. Where are the standardized libraries? Fact, but becoming Myth. Convincing the C++ programmers may be easier here -- Until -1 to -2 years ago, the C++ standard didn't even have hash tables. But what about sockets? Xml (shudder) parsing? Web services? It's been a while since C++ developers were cut off from good libraries, and C#/Java developers had standard distributed everything by the time they had the syntax down. At least, that's basically what I see right now. Aside: My path to Lisp: VB -> C -> C# -> C++ -> Python -> Common Lisp, with that last step being last month. I'm fairly green, but I think that gives me more |
I think one of the issues people have missed is the prejudices people had in the 80's that dynamically-typed languages were never going to be efficient enough for "real world" programming. Of course that particular misconception persisted well after commercial Lisp implementations were catching up with C (note all the buffer overflow problems causing security headaches are entirely the fault of the same prejudices!!). In the 90's the emergence of Java just as people were struggling with the complexities and pitfalls of C++ showed that dynamically typed languages are competitive and these strengths led to Java growing very rapidly - its simplicity and crashproofness expedited the rise of course. So Lisp got left out, but many of its good ideas won over in the "Java revolution" if you can call it that. In the 80's many people believed full garbage collection (as opposed to reference counting) was incompatible with a general purpose language... Advances in garbage-collection technology throughout the 80's and 90's have more or less destroyed that argument, but the views of many didn't track the technology advances as they weren't aware of them. Generational GC was the big breakthrough, sometime in the 80's. So basically Java stole a lot of the space that Lisp could (and probably would) have "won big" in as anti-GC and anti-dynamic-type sentiments gradually faded. And Java was free of course - not that there aren't good Lisps available in free versions, its just that Java was free, there was one version and it was a good version. (Many non-general-purpose dynamic GC'ed languages have flourished of course, but mainly domain-specific and interpreted/scripting ones). And I'll end on an observation about Lisp-like (dynamic) v. C-like (static) languages. There is a java source-to-bytecode compiler called Jikes, which is written in C++ and is intended as a more-or-less plug-compatible replacement for javac (the Java compiler written in Java). Jikes is fast. Its very fast, perhaps 10 to 20 times faster than javac. Its faster than it needs to be on modern hardware(!), even large projects compile in seconds. There are no versions of Jikes I have used that haven't CRASHED. Every single one has crashed on one large suite of input Java or another... You have to choose the right Jikes version for the project you are on by trial and error. It has got better, it has got worse, but it crashes. Javac doesn't crash. It's purely in Java so once the java runtime has been debugged it can't crash. I could also mention the P-code saga, but I'll leave that. |
Two Words : AI Winter Edit: Multiword explanation added (Lisp didn't subsist forever on tuples either) In the early days of AI, competition for grants led to inflated promises about what was possible. After this became clear, the result was a strong stigma against anyone and anything associated with the AI community, regardless of its true merit. A few renegades used and still use Lisp anyway. But go along through the hallways of a larger company where there are plenty of CS majors, and announce that you are a Lisp hacker. Observe the looks that you get. Mine were along the lines of bewilderment, pity, and friendly discouragement. That's not what you need when you are a young programmer trying to establish oneself. This purely political stigma of failure leads to all kinds of secondary problems, namely the perception that the paranthesis are weird, or lack of manpower for LISP library writing (or LISP OS writing, for that matter). So it's not so much that there is no momentum for lisp, or an absence of lisp marketing. That's observably false; check out Franz Lisp. It's that whatever momentum there is gets squelched by a much larger momentum in the other direction, in the form of the cultural stigma of the perceived grand failure of the AI community, and, by extension, its tools and its culture. There is little doubt that the investment and government would be talking admirably and fondly of Lisp and happily funding the heck out of it, had the AI community been broadly perceived as fast and ravaging success. Then, lo and behold, there would lots and lots of enthusiastic library writers all over the place outdoing each other in terms of quality and efficiency. People would be smugly talking about the self-evident superiority of parenthesis as a delimiter. The LISP machine would have succeeded, and GNU would be called GNISP and warn of the dangers of proprietary abominations running directly on the metal. The MS-LISP machine would scare everyone into using it in spite being written by an unknown third party as a kludgy Emacs Lisp knockoff, before being handily outdone by the Apple, the first company to produce desk- and hand-sized lisp machines that could equal the elegance of the language on the outside. Ah, but it didn't, and a winning self-perception can now only be gained by using C, Unix and Java. Oh well... they said it all when they said, worse is better. |
Having gone from loving Fortran (horrors!) to loving Lisp (bliss!), then to Pascal, C, C++, and so on, I always felt the main problem with Lisp was that you couldn't easily just write an app, compile it into an executable, stick it on a floppy, and run it anywhere. All the issues of syntax and parentheses are just a matter of getting used to it, and usually you can get things done in a fraction of the code. For instance, if you want to do symbolic differentiation of mathematical expressions, it's almost child's play. At the same time, there's no harm in saying that LISP means "lots of irritating single parentheses". At the same time, Lisp is really the poorer for missing out on features that started with Pascal, such as strong typing and optional call-by-reference. I get bothered by those who denigrate the macros. I'm of the school that says the way of the future is domain-specific-languages, and the power of macros is that you can easily build DSLs on top of Lisp. Not to say it can't be abused. Programmers who are going to make mountains out of molehills can easily do that in Lisp. |
Why do you care about whether it is popular or not? To me, popular means it is used by the average people. If you are looking for something good, I think it's better to see what and why the exceptional people are using. |
There has been little mention of the attitude of many lisp programmers to people who aren't keen on lisp. Look at the down votes for anyone whose reasons not to use it aren't acceptable. They're actually good answers to the question (which is why lisp isn't widely used not what's wrong with lisp). And instead of trying to win them over the lisp fans just vote them down. There is a superior attitude amonst many lisp programmers (including some promonent ones) which is very off-putting. In this case, social reasons matter as much technical ones, if not more so. |
Adoption of computer languages is not controlled by how good it is for writing programs. Lisp is a testbed of many great concepts and ideas. It is a language that has molded people's views about languages. That's an achievement itself so lisp really deserves to be called great. The lisp syntax itself is not being adopted widely because it's impractical. Lack of variety in the syntax means you use the syntax you have - you end up writing more. Good macro systems are alleviating this problem, but not solving it. Actually, macros are pretty violent way to solve things and you know violence leads to more violence. More you step out of the syntax you have, more you get burden and more you alleviate it with macros. When you break out from your syntax, you'll get more syntax to break out from. Lisp could exist without macros, of course. It could be simply well-designed without macros. But adding syntax carefully has been empirically proved being a good choice.
You can see that when you are adding small pieces of syntax, trivial things get more trivial. Algebraic notation of functions removes nested parentheses, indentation directly removes parentheses while adding a character to remember. Having different parentheses for quotation is nicer, and so on... |
My only exposure to LISP, as seems to be common based on the other responses here, was a Scheme course in college. It seemed like an interesting toy (unlike the other responses, I absolutely loved it and found it incredibly fun to play with), but, whether by fault of the class or by fault of Scheme itself, there was no evidence presented of it having any real-world use, so I didn't do much with it after that class was done. |
My biggest issue was that i want to have GUI builtin, easy to run and maintaine without have to add a lot of stuff extra package. I found that "Clojure" that solve all my problem learning LISP´, is a dialekt that runs in a java vm, witch mean portability, and access to Swing GUI library, woth looking att. http://clojure.org And if you are not and Emacs fan, there is a plugin for Eclipse, still under development but it makes Lisp development more.... year 2009 style. Anders |
I think there are a number of reasons, including the syntax, the fact that it's difficult to learn, and that it is less efficient (or it's at least more difficult to write a compiler that generates efficient code) than other languages like C/C++. I think one of the biggest issues, though, is the fact that there has never been, to my knowledge, a popular implementation promoted by a large company. When Sun released Java, for example, they did a lot of marketing for it. Similarly Microsoft made a huge marketing effort for C# and .NET. Even back in the DOS days, Microsoft put out QuickC, QuickBASIC and even QuickFortran. There was never "QuickLISP", and there has never been a "Microsoft Visual LISP" either. These things don't affect the technical suitability of a language but they do affect how it's perceived, and that can have just as much, if not more, influence. It's like the old adage, "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" - nobody ever got fired for using Microsoft's C++ compiler. |
Having just spent 6 months (part time) deploying a lisp web server, I would say the main downside when compared to other languages is the lack of a standardised way of talking to foreign code. So when someone wants to re-use a well written library in another language (OpenSSL perhaps), there is no way for them to do so without using implementation specific hacks. Some of those hacks are very clever, so developing code to talk to C is easy. Getting it to live long, and be re-used by other lispers, is hard. |
Many dismiss the parentheses issue as a joke and bringing it up leads often to flame wars, but I propose that it is actually a significant factor. Many people are simply put off by the syntax and it doesn't help much to point out that there are text editors that help you balance the parentheses. (Balancing curlies in C manually is quite easy in comparison.) It may be that for some people, reading LISP is simply more difficult than for others for reasons best explained by cognitive psychology and it isn't a matter of the amount of exposure. Until someone actually tests this hypothesis, we won't know for sure. |
Not the top reason, but I think the lack of 3rd party libraries is also worth a mention. |
My theory is that our brains are set up to be able to naturally process a certain amount of information in syntax. So in reading languages with syntax the "syntax recognition" piece of their brain grabs some of the information, leaving less for the "content analysis" piece to have to process. By contrast with the various Lisp languages there is almost no syntax recognition (other than pairing parens, which information we mostly duplicate with indentation) which puts all of the work on our ability to analyze content. Of course the trade-off is that by having things that would be done in syntax in other languages not be special in Lisp is that you can manipulate them in macros very effectively. But most users aren't using their language on that level, and so don't notice how much power they are giving up. |
Well, call it a coincidence, but I've just started studying LISP about a week ago, in my (little) spare time. If you want some real insight, I can suggest you to look at Paul Graham site. Everything he says is just more interesting than what can I write... Not a surprise, considering HE is the life-long LISP hacker among the two! :) I taked a look at his works on LISP and suddenly founded I wanted to know more, and began to study it... |
Until now I still can't get asdf-install to work on Clisp. I just manage to solve the website problem by changing from the original http://ww.telent.net/cclan-choose-mirror to http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/lisp/cclan. However, some error like ``undefined function ASDF-INSTALL::READ-HEADER-LINE'' popup with a cryptic advice: You may input a value to be used instead of (FDEFINITION 'ASDF-INSTALL::READ-HEADER-LINE). I know asdf-install works with sbcl, but I think all of us has the freedom to choose any Lisp implementation and everything still works, just like anything working on CPython should work on Jython or IronPython. Lisp really has a lot of works to do. I am curious that when SBCL and Clisp are actively maintain, how come Cliki pages are never update even when telent.net has been down extremely long? |

My house has rounded edges and arched entryways. I really like the look of board and batten and wanted to try it out in my family room. My concern is how do I end it when I come to the rounded entryway and end of family room wall. 45 degree cuts that just end right before the round edge? Or should I scrap the idea because my house isn't the right style for this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My house is board and batten, but it's a modern, spare, Northwest design. The photo you provided shows a very nice, traditional, almost Southwest style, and I think you would be detracting from the look to use a board and batten approach with what you have. This, in my opinion, would be one of those cases where more is less. Be happy with what you have and don't try to "improve" it. |

vermentino arturo wine wednesday
There ARE memorable Italian whites. Artisanal Soaves and the mountain lake white called Lugana can be terrific. But my favorite is Vermentino.
Well known in Italy, especially the version grown on the island of Sardinia, this grape creates the same kind of excitement that wine drinkers have discovered with Spain's Albariño (Alvarinho in Portugal) and Austria's Grüner Veltliner. Antinori grows Vermentino at its seaside estate in Bolgheri. I first tasted it in 2000, when I visited the family there. This white, that combines vibrancy with rich texture could easily become a new favorite for you as well. Unlike any other white you've tasted.
2011 Vermentino, Tenuta Guado Al Tasso, Bolgheri $27.50 srp
Lemon-creamy bouquet; almost buttery but backed by fresh quince, pear and tropical impressions. Never overt or seemingly artificial or pumped up--it's a spirited, subtle nose that reels you in. Flavors are fresh but richly textured. Banana notes and pear persist on the palate with a long, sensual finish. Lobster, salmon or a simple pork roast would be grand accompaniment. Drink now.

The Composers
eden ahbez
eden ahbez (April 15, 1908 – March 4, 1995), born George Alexander Aberle in Brooklyn, New York and adopted by a Kansas family and raised under the name George McGrew, was a songwriter and recording artist from the 1940s-1960s, whose lifestyle in California was influential on the hippie movement. He refused to use capital letters to spell his name.
Ahbez composed the song "Nature Boy", which became a #1 hit for eight weeks in 1948 for Nat "King" Cole. He lived a bucolic life. From at least as early as the 1940s, he travelled in sandals and wore shoulder-length hair and beard, and white robes. He camped out below the first L in the Hollywood sign above Los Angeles, studied Oriental mysticism, and claimed to live on three dollars a week, sleeping outdoors with his family, and eating vegetables, fruits, and nuts. He was known to friends as ahbe.

Emphysema is a disease of the lungs that usually develops after many years of smoking. Along with asthma and chronic bronchitis, emphysema belongs to a group of lung diseases known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Once it has developed, emphysema does not reverse, and in fact, only continues to become worse.
Emphysema affects the lungs by destroying their alveoli. Alveoli are small, thin-walled, very fragile air sacs located in clusters at the end of the bronchial tubes deep inside the lungs. As you breathe in air, the alveoli stretch, drawing oxygen in and transporting it to the blood. When you exhale, the alveoli shrink, forcing carbon dioxide out of the body.
When emphysema develops, the alveoli lose their elasticity and there is destruction of lung tissue thus the ability to perform these essential actions. As a result, air becomes trapped in the lungs, over-extending them and occasionally causing some alveoli to actually burst. This trapped air also means less and less oxygen reaches the blood. The over inflation also puts constant pressure on the lungs, forcing them to stretch beyond their normal limits, giving some patients with emphysema a barrel-chested look in appearance.
It currently affects nearly 2 million people in the United States. It is most common in men between the ages of 50 and 70.
Between 80% and 90% of all cases of emphysema are caused by smoking, thus making it one of the most preventable types of respiratory diseases. Cigarette smoking causes emphysema by irritating the airways. This creates inflammation that narrows the airways, making it more difficult to breathe. Cigarette smoke also causes the cilia to stop working properly, so mucus and particles are not cleaned from the airways.
A small percentage of cases are believed to be caused by prolonged exposure to air polluted with fumes and/or dust, while another small percentage of cases is inherited. These inherited cases are the result of a protein deficiency known as alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (A-1ATD).
Alpha 1-antitrypsin is a protein produced in the liver and released into the bloodstream. It allows the lungs to function properly by protecting them from an enzyme released by the white blood cells known as neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is released by the white blood cells during times of inflammation and is ordinarily helpful in destroying invading bacteria.
For people with A-1ATD, the lack of, or deficiency in this protein, allows the enzyme, which is ordinarily kept in check, to attack the lungs, literally turning the body on itself. A person with A-1ATD who smokes creates and even riskier situation because tobacco and its irritants not only damage the alveoli, but also prompt the body to produce more white blood cells and thus more neutrophil elastase.
Symptoms of emphysema ordinarily do not display themselves until as much as 50% to 70% of the lung tissue has been destroyed. In part, this is due to symptoms of emphysema being mistaken for another illness. People who develop emphysema are more vulnerable to pneumonia, bronchitis, and other lung infections. Therefore, you should arrange an appointment with your doctor if any of these symptoms arise:
Of course, diagnosis of emphysema cannot be based solely on symptoms alone. If your doctor thinks that you may have emphysema, there are a number of tests he or she can order. One test may simply involve tapping on your chest and listening with a stethoscope. If the doctor hears a hollow sound, it often indicates that the air sacs have become enlarged or ruptured. Other tests include:
X-rays: X-rays are generally not useful in detecting early stages of emphysema. However, X-rays can aid in diagnosis in moderate or severe cases. Either a plain chest x-ray or a CAT (computer-aided tomography) scan can be used. Once the test is completed, the readings will be compared to results from healthy sets of lungs from people of similar age and background.
Pulse oximetry: Also known as an oxygen saturation test, pulse oximetry is used to measure the oxygen saturation of the blood. This is done by attaching the monitor to a person's toe, finger, or earlobe. People who have poor blood flow may need to perform light exercise on a treadmill or stationary bicycle so the therapist can obtain an accurate reading.
Spirometry and pulmonary functions tests (PFT): One of the most useful tests in determining airway obstruction, a spirometry or PFT tests the lungs' volume by measuring the maximum airflow while a patient both inhales and exhales. This is done by taking a deep breath and then blowing into a tube hooked up to a specialized machine.
Arterial blood gas: Often used for more advanced cases of emphysema, this test analyzes blood from an artery, measuring it for amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This is especially helpful in determining whether a patient may need supplemental oxygen.
Electrocardiogram (EKG): EKGs may be performed to check heart function and rule out heart disease as a cause of shortness of breath.
Because emphysema worsens with time and there is no known cure, treatment is generally directed toward reducing the rate of progress. The type of treatment will depend on the severity of the disease.
Quitting smoking: If you smoke, quitting is the most important step you can take to protect your lungs. It is never too late to quit. Your doctor can help you find the right smoking cessation method.
Bronchodilator medications: Often used for patients with asthma, these types of medicines relax the muscles around the airways and can benefit emphysema patients who frequently suffer from tight airway constriction. Bronchodilators are often initially tried as an inhalant because inhalants produce more immediate results and have fewer side effects than oral medications
Anti-inflammatory medication: Also known as corticosteroids, these medications may be given for any inflammation that occurs with emphysema in an effort to soothe the thin walls of airways. There are long-term effects to keep in mind when taking anti-inflammatories, however, such as osteoporosis, hypertension, high blood sugar and fat redistribution.
Oxygen therapy: Oxygen therapy is prescribed for patients whose lungs are not getting enough oxygen to the blood (hypoxemia). These patients are unable to absorb enough oxygen from the outside air and require oxygen to be administered by a nasal catheter or a facemask. Patients receiving oxygen therapy require arterial blood gas tests and pulse oximetry measurements to check oxygen levels in the blood.
Lung volume reduction surgery: A relatively new procedure, lung volume reduction surgery involves removing up to 35% of diseased lung tissue, then joining together the remaining tissue. Doing this may relieve pressure on the breathing muscles and help improve lung elasticity. The results of the surgery, both initially and up to 18 months afterwards, have been very promising. However, the surgery does come with a high complication rate, and exactly which patients are the best candidates for this surgery is still being determined.
Knowledge is the best tool for managing or preventing emphysema. Knowing the correct precautions or which changes in behavior to make may help you prevent or reduce the risk of further complications. It is important for you to do what you can to prevent respiratory infections by:

So while my group is probably going to use our wet-erase map for tactical personal combat, the kinds of ranges you expect starship combat to play out at aren't easy to do on our map. I have a program for my Kindle that will let me import maps and minis, but of course it comes pre-loaded with fantasy stuff. I'll spend the next time I have a few free hours with unfettered internet access exercizing my Google-fu to see if I can locate some, but it strikes me someone here might have already had the same thought and would have a good jumping-off point for me from their own experience. I'm looking for a space map with already drawn lines (the program shows lines during map creation - so you can align them to the map's own - but doesn't draw them, and I'm terrible at getting equal distances between my own grid lines adding them manually), and just some neat spaceship pictures without backgrounds or with easy to remove backgrounds (say, monocolor?). If anyone already knows where to find these, you'd be helping me so much if you pointed the way thanks in advance.

hmm… I think my sister's computer will actually run GIMP. Perhaps I can get her to do it for me, thanks. (It's not that it has high requirements, it's that my computer sucks. It can't run past 16-bit color mode…. the background here has these half-inch wide bands of single shades of blue that I'm assuming are meant to be a gradient, but….)

Friday, June 30, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Movie Review "Stolen": Painting a vivid portrait of "Stolen" art classicsSpecial to The Seattle Times In the early morning hours after St. Patrick's Day in 1990, unknown thieves dressed as police officers penetrated Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, tying up security guards and stealing a number of valuable works. Among the appropriated items were a Rembrandt seascape, four Degas sketches, a Manet and Vermeer's "The Concert," one of 35 surviving pieces by the 17th-century Dutch painter. None of the missing art has been recovered, and yet, according to the extraordinary documentary "Stolen," there is little reason to suspect anything's been fenced. Investigators think the creations are stored somewhere and possibly deteriorating, awaiting action by anyone who controls their fate.
Movie review
"Stolen," with Harold Smith, Tracy Chevalier, Blythe Danner (voice), Campbell Scott (voice). Written and directed by Rebecca Dreyfus. 85 minutes. Not rated; suitable for general audiences. Northwest Film Forum. It's a sad situation, for Bostonians, for art lovers everywhere and for those who feel a deep connection to Gardner, a fascinating arts patron who turned her Italian villa-style home into the museum. She died in 1924. Several contemporary mourners (including Tracy Chevalier, author of the novel "Girl with a Pearl Earring") appear in Rebecca Dreyfus' "Stolen," a movie that becomes an engrossing search for the missing works of art. Dreyfus and her cameraman, the legendary documentary maker Albert Maysles ("Gimme Shelter"), follow a trail from Fenway to New York and London, encountering all kinds of people who know or suspect something about the case. Former art thieves, FBI agents, a con man, a British operator who negotiates deals between cops and criminals, and a journalist who received Vermeer-era paint chips from an anonymous source all figure into the story. At first, "Stolen" is stuck in interview mode. But the film shifts into higher gear with the arrival of Harold Smith, a remarkable man and renowned art detective who's been looking into the Gardner theft for years. Smith responds to Dreyfus' request for a chat with his own invitation: Join him in his last, big push to find and return "The Concert" and other works to where they belong. The ravaged-looking yet elegant Smith, 75 at the time of filming and suffering from skin cancer, clearly wants recovery of these paintings and sketches to be part of his legacy. Running parallel to the investigation is a beautifully told story of Gardner, a friend to the likes of John Singer Sargent (who painted a famous 1888 portrait of her) and novelist Henry James. Gardner turned a personal tragedy into a mission to build the museum, and her dramatic correspondence with Bernard Berenson, her curator, is read movingly by Blythe Danner. (Campbell Scott reads Berenson's missives.) "Stolen" captures a great yearning among many different people across time, all affected by Gardner and her legacy, especially those parts now missing. This is a movie that takes hold of one's heart and imagination. Tom Keogh: email@example.com Copyright © 2006 The Seattle Times Company Most read articles |

At Least 23 Golan Protesters Killed, 350 Wounded as Israeli Troops Opens Fire
June 9, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Jason Ditz
Israeli soldiers attacked protesters along the Syrian border with the occupied Golan Heights today, killing at least 23 protesters and wounding some 350 others. The protesters were marching to commemorate the 44th anniversary of the 1967 invasion of Golan.
The US State Department claimed to be "deeply troubled" by the protest march, and said that Israel had a right "like any sovereign nation" to defend itself by shooting protesters. Israeli opposition figures slammed "trigger-happy" soldiers for the large number of casualties.
Israel conquered the Golan Heights in 1967, along with the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula. Though Israel eventually returned the Sinai (with caveats) to Egypt, and simply walled in Gaza, they have ruled out leaving either Golan or the West Bank.
It is the second time in less than a month that Israeli troops have attacked and killed large numbers of protesters along their northern border. In mid-May troops killed some 20 protesters commemorating Nakba, the expulsion of Palestinians from Israeli territory. The commemoration is illegal in Israel.
Israeli politician Livni hails Dubai Hamas killing
March 16, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
BBC News
Mr Mabhouh died in his hotel room in Dubai last month
Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni has applauded the controversial killing of a Hamas commander in a Dubai hotel by suspected Israeli agents.
"The fact that a terrorist was killed, and it doesn't matter if it was in Dubai or Gaza, is good news to those fighting terrorism," she said.
It is thought to be the first time a top Israeli has made such a comment.
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was found dead in his room on 20 January, having been electrocuted and suffocated.
His alleged killers used fake British, Irish, German and French passports, according to the authorities in Dubai, which released pictures of the suspects, none of whom were caught.
Mr Mabhouh was one of the founders of Hamas's military wing.
The Israeli secret service Mossad has been widely accused of carrying out the killing but Israel has repeatedly asserted there is no proof its agents were involved.
'Fighting terrorism'
Mrs Livni, the former foreign minister who leads the parliamentary opposition for the Kadima party, did not indicate who was behind the killing.
"The entire world must support those fighting terrorism," she told a Jewish conference in Jerusalem.
"Any comparison between terrorism and those fighting it is immoral."
The current Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, responded to allegations of a Mossad plot last week by saying: "Israel never responds, never confirms and never denies."
Dubai security cameras picked up 18 members of what local police believe was a hit team.
Diplomatic tension between Western states and Israel has grown over the killing.

Nationally admired guitarist Jalan Crossland is returning to Yellowstone Valley Brewing Co.'s Garage Pub on Saturday.
Admission is $5.
Crossland's rootsy solo acoustic guitar and banjo musings, combined with his fingerstyle and flatpicking genius, has gained him a national reputation.
Crossland is one of a few alt-country artists who still calls the country home. This anchors the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction wobble to his songs of 21st-century rural life.
Last year was huge for Crossland. In February 2013, he received the Wyoming Governor's Arts Award during a ceremony and gala event in Cheyenne. A few months later, he played the Key West Songwriters Festival, then went on the WYOmericana Caravan concert tour, which featured Crossland, Screen Door Porch and J. Shogren Shanghai'd. The tour hit 14 shows in 26 days, covering more than 3,200 miles and was covered by Michael Segell for the New York Times.
Crossland also opened for the Tedeschi Trucks Band. His music has been heard on ESPN.com and his "Hard to Stop the Killin'" was featured on snowboarder Mark Carter's "Real Snow BackCountry" snowboard video.
