Ascot, Brisbane Area
Just head for the largest, most beautiful fig tree in the street, look beneath its outstretched branches and you will find a pleasant restaurant peering out from under the foliage. It is a cosy spot that boasts outdoor dining that can be enclosed on the cooler nights, while still maintaining the arboreal atmosphere beneath the fig tree. Indoor there are tables clad in crisp white cloths and friendly Thai waitstaff to help you enjoy your dining experience, but the magic doesn't stop there.

Masons Lifting Veil of Secrecy for Weddings; City Lodge Will Open Doors to Dispel Freemasonry Myths
Byline: JOHN SUTTON
A SECRET society is throwing open its doors so members of the public can glimpse the age-old mysteries of their organisation.
The Masonic Hall, on Hope Street, normally serves as a meeting place for groups of Freemasons, to hold ceremonies, dine and socialise.
The organisation is renowned for private rituals, but Sam Robinson, who meets at the hall regularly, said Freemasonry was opening up and bringing itself into the 21st century.
He said: "We held an open day last year and gave people tours of the building. A lot of people thought they weren't allowed in a hall, but they came and saw what we had to offer."
The Grade II listed building, described as "a hidden gem" by Mr Robinson, contains dozens of rooms of various sizes.
Mr Robinson said the image of Freemasonry as being about funny handshakes and cosy business deals was something the organisation was keen to shake off. …

5 open records horror stories from The Associated Press
In advance of Sunshine Week, The Associated Press compiled a state-by-state open-records update that includes several transparency nightmares, including a Florida sheriff's office that wanted $399,000 to search for agency emails containing gay slurs and a state Department of Motor Vehicles that demanded $19,950 for a specialized public records search.
Here are five cases that stand out:
California: The state DMV asked for nearly $20,000 to fulfill an open-records request from The Associated Press seeking to determine "whether poor people had their driver's licenses suspended at a disproportionate rate."
The justification for the pricetag? The DMV claimed the request would require 120 hours of special programming at $135 per hour:

The AP sought a meeting with the DMV's public information and technology staff, but the agency never responded.

I started the Atkins diet a little over two months ago. It's going pretty well, so far have lost about 20 lbs. I'm really doing a modified version, being strict during the week, and easing up some on the weekends, so it's tolerable.
About two weeks after starting the diet, I bonked badly about 45 miles into a 50 miler. Any suggestions on a substitue for carbs for "fuel." I want to gradually work back up to doing centuries, but I'm a little concerned about bonking again. It was not a nice experience.

I am trying to send a post request through ajax to another domain and get a json response. The server is situated in my company premise and through the logs, I can see that it is sending response with a json.
Following is a sample of my tries:
function makeRequest(strURL){
$.get(strURL+"?callback=rest.draw_table_dyn", "{}",
xmlhttpPost : function(strURL) {
var xmlHttpReq = false;
var self = this;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
self.xmlHttpReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
self.xmlHttpReq = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
self.xmlHttpReq.open('POST', strURL, true);
self.xmlHttpReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
self.xmlHttpReq.onreadystatechange = function() {
However, following are the problems I encounter:
1) Always the server is hit with a "OPTIONS" request rather than a "GET" or "POST" request. I understood from this link(http://engin.bzzzt.biz/2010/01/25/cross-domain-xhr-access-control-preflight/) that it is a preflight request as per the standards.
But is it possible for me to make a POST request? I tried using $.post, $.ajax or even $.get, but to no avail.
2) The response data is empty. I require the data to populate the page with items. Is there a way to read the json? Currently I am getting only an empty string with the return status a 0.
I tried xmlHttpRequest, $.ajax, $.get and $.post to send the request and receive the json to no avail.
I read here(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4221458/how-to-make-a-jsonp-call-to-an-api-using-jquery) about keeping the script in the tag. This also didn't worked for me. Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

Right now, you must call the MoveDelegate twice in each turn because certain things only happen during the "non-combat" version which runs the second time (clearing unit movement, etc.). To add support for 1914, it must be possible to have a single move phase in each turn.
(see patch #70 for a dependent change)
Move the unit and transport clean-up from the MoveDelegate to the EndTurnDelegate. These functions really make more sense here anyway, since unit movement restrictions, transport load restrictions, etc. are for the duration of the turn.
I don't believe there's anything in the PlaceDelegate that would depend on these having been cleared, but I may be wrong.
Rather than calling DelegateFinder to find the MoveDelegate and then use its TransportTracker instance, I thought it made more sense to make endOfRoundClearStateChange static, since it doesn't actually use any class members.
David Landry
After discussion with Veqryn, moving this to EndTurn is too risky. So here's a new patch. I've moved the code to a new Util. By default, this is called at non-combat move (as it is now) but I've added a new game property to call it at End of Turn.
David Landry
Here's a new patch. Instead of a game property to control whether unit movement is reset, it's a stepProperty that is checked for at end of turn. This can be used by adding this to your xml:
<step name="austrianEndTurn" delegate="endTurn" player="Austrians"> <stepProperty name="resetMovement" value="true"/> </step>
Chris Duncan
Chris Duncan
your patch was pretty good, but i thought for this sort of thing we could be a little more ambitious and systematic
i went and looked up how we tell combat move from noncombat move, and then searched for all references inside and out, and then all their references, etc, until I had a list of everywhere and everything affected by this difference
i then created step properties for each of those differences
i suspect at some point in the future, we should move all the step property stuff into a single static class, but i didn't have time for it this go around.
please have a look at this attached patch and review for possible bugs. i will be committing it, but am open to changes on it.

Soldiers wounded in rocket attackComment on this story
Amara - A rocket attack on a United States military base in Iraq's southern Maysan province wounded three American soldiers on Wednesday, a US military spokesperson and an Iraqi security official said.
"We have operational reports of five rockets landing on or near COS (Contingency Operating Station) Garry Owens that injured three service members," the spokesperson said.
"Reports indicate the attack took place this evening," the spokesperson said, adding that COS Garry Owens is on Al-Batirah airfield, about 10km west of Amara, the capital of Maysan province.
The Iraqi security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, had earlier said that four Katyusha rockets hit a US base west of Amara at about 8pm.
Emergency vehicles were seen heading to the area as helicopters flew overhead, an AFP journalist reported.
The rocket attack comes with less than three months to go before a year-end withdrawal deadline for the roughly 41 500 US soldiers currently in Iraq, with Baghdad and Washington yet to reach any accord on a post-2011 training mission.
The United States insists that any trainers must have immunity from Iraqi prosecution, as US forces in the country currently do, while Iraqi officials say such immunity is unnecessary.
Despite a decline in violence nationwide since its peak in 2006 and 2007, attacks remain common, though Iraqis rather than Americans are usually the victims.
A total of 185 Iraqis were killed in violence in September, according to official figures. - Sapa-AFP

My Sister is Dying

Location: stationed at NCIS post Voyager.
Re: My Sister is Dying
OMG, I'm so sorry about this! You know, Dad has some friends who are alchoholics and have cirosis of the liver as well. They continue to drink heavily and are both paying for it cause they both are beginning to show signs of swelling of the face and stomach. It's a husband and wife that are usually at the baseball games when we go. I always wonder how those two ever get home safely cause they are always drunk and they usually drive themselves home. The wife is BEAUTIFUL but she looks pregnant even though she's not because of the alchohol. Alchoholism is a strange illness but it is an illness indeed. And to think that your sister is going through this..in a way, she's being selfish to you and to your family. And I'll bet you feel obligated to take care of her cause no one else will. In another way, they are making you the enabler, which probably causes conflict in the family. I'm so sorry to read about this. My thoughts and prayers go out to you especially and your family. This is a tough time to die!

And is it really only Trek if it looks like the Sixties vision of the future? I'd rather just enjoy the three seasons that were made than watch fan productions that try to recreate glory days.
I have no doubt everyone involved in making these has a lot of fun and is doing it for the love, and that's great, but I can't get through even two minutes of these fanwanks. Star Trek should be about the hopes and wonders of our own future, not merely escape into a 1960s alternate vision of the future. Star Trek is about addressing our own world and looking forward, not clinging to a past we can't let go of.

Miracles are growing everywhere on the rock | Rockn' a Hard Place
- Oct 6, 2013 at 10:00AM
Having spent most of my life in big cities, I didn't use to care much where my food came from, except when the supermarket was out of something or the McDonald's drive-through was backed up. Then I'd belly-ache about the terrible inconvenience. When I was 5, I asked my dad if hot dogs were made out of dogs. He said no, but he wouldn't tell me what they were really made of. As an adult I have assiduously avoided asking that question.

Fortunately, shutdown won't close state parks | Some perspective
- Oct 4, 2013 at 2:41PM
Many "non-essential" government agencies and programs temporarily got the boot Tuesday after Congress refused to reach a budget agreement, forcing our country into a government shutdown. On Whidbey Island we lost service personnel at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, who are forced into furlough for an unknown amount of time and two employees were furloughed at Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve.
OLF group plans next steps as EIS begins
- Oct 7, 2013 at 10:00AM
A judge has awarded a stay on the lawsuit filed against the Navy by a Coupeville group seeking to stop touch-and-go operations at Outlying Field Coupeville. The group received what they considered a victory when the Navy agreed to conduct the Environmental Impact Statement the lawsuit demanded, but they have additional plans, including a class-action lawsuit. Controversy over OLF reached a fevered pitch earlier this year after increasing complaints about the noise associated with the Navy's ongoing Field Landing Carrier Practice or touch-and-go operations. The Navy is in the process of transiting from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-8G Growler, an aircraft some believe is louder.

- Oct 4, 2013 at 2:33PM
As a result of Congress's inability to pass a budget by the Sept. 30 deadline, hundreds of Department of Defense employees on Whidbey Island were furloughed Tuesday as part of a country-wide government shutdown. Of the some 1,200 civil service employees at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, employees that work in safety, life and wellness will be exempted, said NAS Whidbey Public Affairs Officer Mike Welding. It was unclear how many of the base's 1,200 contractors will be affected.

Resolved questions
Books a philosophy/English major should read
Hello! When summer comes to an end I'll become a college student. Math was the major I chose and I suppose I might be interested in double-majoring or maybe I'll only be picking up a minor on liberal arts such as Philosophy, English or even another language for instance German, Hebrew etc. All that depends on how much money I would be possessing then and how much endurance and time I would have left. It'd be very kind of you to advise me a list of books I should read in preparation to be a Philosophy or an English major. Thanks a lot!
Please enter between 2 and 2000 characters.
Sort by:
Best Answer - Chosen by the Asker
Start with the basics; Plato, Socrates, Machiavelli, Descartes, Voltaire, Locke, Thomas Jefferson, Durant, every student of philosophy studies them. Being Chinese you would do well to study your own philosophers, too. People laughed at me for studying such a worthless subject because it won't get you a job but as one of my favorite philosophers said, "Money doesn't talk, it swears." ~ Bob Dylan. Good luck with your ambitious plan, my advice is don't take too many classes at one time because the workload will do you in.
I suggest that you get the actual reading list of books that you will study. That way you will be well prepared. Every university is different.

.- During a visit to Spain this week, Cardinal Jozef Tomko, president of the Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses, said that only a laity committed to serving the truth will overcome the crisis of values that is affecting the country.
Cardinal Tomko made his comments during the opening lecture for the 2005-2006 school year at the University of St. Anthony in Murcia. He noted that Spain is a country that is "traditionally Catholic and is witnessing a crisis of values that touch profoundly upon the very concept of the person." Believers "cannot remain passive" in response to this situation, he added.
According to Cardinal Tomko, "when the human values of liberty, coexistence, respect for inalienable rights, family values, and proper education are in jeopardy, if there is no enlightened and courageous witness adequately conveyed even through the social communications media, there is a danger of provoking an anthropological catastrophe, as has occurred in other places and in other political systems of the 20th century."
In the context of this crisis of "moral, social, family and religious values," there is an urgent need for the laity to "become promoters of genuine human values through their service to the truth and to life."
In this sense, he emphasized the need for Catholic centers of learning like the University of St. Anthony to turn out well-formed Christian adults and exemplary professionals.

Bernhard has taken part in the last three events but is focusing on making a complete recovery after an accident in testing in March.
Audi reserve Gene will now take his place.
"I'm very pleased with the steps I've managed to make during this time," said Bernhard. "We've created a tight system of medical checks, so my progress has constantly been monitored.
"Unfortunately, there's not enough time before the Le Mans 24 Hours to become 100 per cent fit again. Le Mans is a world-class race that doesn't allow any compromises.
"I only want to compete at this event in perfect physical condition. That's why on the advice of my doctors and in close coordination with Audi I decided not to run at Le Mans this year."

There are many sumachs around, and some of them, like poison oak or poison ivy are toxic. The distinguishing difference is in the berries. The ones we want to gather have red berries; the poisonous ones have white berries. Rhus tribolata, also called squawbush, skunkbush, lemita, or pajul del norte are the most common in our area. They have leaves that appear in threes. The bushes are around five feet tall and grow throughout our region from 2,500 to 5,000 feet in elevation. In July through September, they produce tight little clusters of red berries.
Gather the little clumps of red berries, making sure to pick the most red, as they are very tart, the not-quite ripe ones are unbearably tart. Dry them out of the sun. They are not very juicy - so are easy to dry - and then grind them to the consistency of flakes.
Sumach berries are astringent and refrigerant with a lemon-like flavor. A tasty alternative to lemonade can be made in the following manner:
½ cup dried berries
2 quarts of water
A cup of sugar (if desired)
Soak the berries in the water for about an hour, then strain and sweeten.
A recipe from "Cooking the Wild Southwest" by Carolyn Niethammer describes a zahtar spice mix as being of Middle Eastern origin. It is a wonderful way to use the tangy southwestern sumach fruits.
2 tablespoons of dried berry flakes
1 Tablespoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon coarse salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Serve with warm pita triangles and a small dish of good quality olive oil. Dip the pita into the olive oil and then into the zahtar. You can also sprinkle the mixture on a green salad to add flavor and texture.
Sumach leaves don't have a culinary use, but make a nice medicine. The dried and powdered leaves are soothing, astringent and mildly disinfecting for sores or ulcers on the mouth, genitals and nostrils.
For a quick salve, add one tablespoon of powdered leaves to two tablespoons of a base such as Vaseline. Stir well and apply as needed to affected areas. The powder can also be dusted on feet that tend to get red and swollen from the heat. It reduces superficial redness and swelling. Overall, it is a good plant to keep in mind for the summer heat.

If Mitt Romney had performed as well among Hispanics as George W. Bush did in 2004, he would have carried Virginia, Florida, Ohio and Colorado, while Nevada would have been too close to call. That would have made him our new president.
In the past eight years, Hispanic support for the GOP has fallen from 45 percent to 27 percent. At the same time, Hispanics are making up a larger part of the electorate (from 8 percent in 2004 to 10 percent now), further compounding the problem. In addition to making these swing states more difficult to carry, this trend threatens to turn Republican strongholds such as Texas and Arizona into contested battlegrounds. The fact is, the GOP needs to expand its reach beyond white voters if it wishes to remain a relevant player in national elections, and Hispanics present a prime opportunity, as they are, on the whole, socially, fiscally and economically conservative. But Republicans' rigid stance on immigration has spoiled their chances with this critical group of Americans.
The GOP needs to moderate its position as part of an inclusive outreach effort to return Hispanic support to Bush-era levels. House Republicans should get out in front of this by writing comprehensive immigration legislation along the lines of proposals suggested by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Secure the border, let illegal immigrants who have lived here for five years or more and have not committed a crime achieve legal resident status, and allow children who were brought here become citizens by enlisting in the military.
Republicans need to remember that President Reagan advocated and signed into law humane immigration reform. A proposal like this can help the GOP reclaim the upper hand on immigration and greatly increase support for the Republican Party in the Latino community, which is critical to the future success of the party. I think counterproductive immigration attacks were the driving reason for Mr. Romney's loss. If we correct this, the GOP will be an unstoppable force in future elections.

Microsoft Dynamics Marketing Professional Community: FY11 Kick Off and Marketing Planning Template Training
August 19, 2010 11:00 AM PST
Attention all Marketing Professionals! Are you ready to kick off the FY11 Microsoft Dynamics Marketing Professional Community? Join us for this informative session to learn more about the FY11 program as well as the new marketing planning template available to help you align your business strategy with your marketing plans. By attending this session, you will understand how you should leverage the new marketing planning template to plan for your marketing campaigns, how you can estimate ROI and track the performance of those campaigns throughout the year, and in the end we will let you know about all the upcoming training you should take as a marketing professional, and actions to take to participate in the program.
A few years back I used to manage programs at Microsoft to help Microsoft Dynamics partners recruit, hire and train new talent. We had a good run at the programs, and then, unfortunately, the economy soured. Many partners simply stopped hiring, and a lot of you went through the challenge of letting people go. Now that the economy has somewhat picked up, I've heard of some partners driving great recruitment plans targeting both experienced hires and college hires. For those of you that struggle in the hiring and selection process we put together some training to target marketing professionals.
When marketing fails to deliver the results partners need to grow their business, it's very often because of difficulties in finding, hiring, and motivating the right marketing professionals. Adequate budgets and direction is also critical. Find out how to put all of these pieces together in this informative, hands-on web seminar series for business owners that sell Microsoft Dynamics solutions.
Presented by Salesworks, these sessions will give you a clear picture of what's working as well as what isn't in the real-life world of today's Microsoft Dynamics partner, and the tools you need to build an efficient and cost-effective marketing machine.

San Diego-based biotechnology company Allylix said it has raised $18.2 million in investment capital for the continued development of its specialty chemicals, which are used to do everything from make chewing gum more flavorful to enrich the fragrance of perfumes and colognes.
The investment included $13.5 million from BASF Venture Capital, with the balance coming from Tate & Lyle Ventures, Avrio Ventures and Cultivian Ventures, the company said.
Daniela Proske, a principal at BASF Venture Capital America, said in a statement, "Our investment in Allylix could allow us to broaden our use of renewable raw materials for sustainable chemical solutions in the future and leverage our competency in aroma chemicals, nutrition and cosmetic chemicals."

First generic version of Lexapro approved
Israel's Teva Pharmaceutical Industries won U.S. approval to sell the first generic version of Lexapro for depression and anxiety.
Teva, the world's largest generic drugmaker, will have 180 days to exclusively sell the copy of the medicine, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday. Lexapro is New York-based Forest Laboratories' top seller, with $2.3 billion in sales for the fiscal year ended in March 2011.
Both psychiatric conditions can be disabling and can interfere with daily activities, the FDA said. Major depression symptoms include loss of interest in usual activities, significant weight change, insomnia or excessive sleeping and suicidal thoughts. People with anxiety disorder worry excessively and have difficulty concentrating, according to the FDA.
The most common side effects with the drug were sleeplessness, ejaculation disorder, nausea, increased sweating, fatigue, drowsiness and low sex drive.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Military officers from all over the world made a trip to the Capitol City Thursday.
Court was in session for the the officers at the Kansas Judicial Center. The group are students at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. They observed a mock hearing in the Kansas Court of Appeals.
The observation was part of their lessons on the American judicial system and state government. The students heard the oral arguments then voted on how they'd decide the case.
The officers also toured the Kansas History Museum and heard a Native American presentation during their visit to Topeka.

This is the dumpiest Escapee Rainbow Park we've been to. Junky yard areas around trailers, junker cars, basically a confusing site system of gravel sites, the utility/sewer hookup space surrounded by busted up concrete curbs, and all in an eyesore area of Texas (desert and oil rig equipment). We stayed one night only, I would rather stay overnight at the Pecos Walmart and save the $21. We wIll not be back. - rvrrat520
May 2014 - $29.00
This facility was very crowded and mostly occupied by oil field workers. The site we occupied was difficult to park in as it was supposed to be a pull through but had a utility pole at the exit end. - Bruce Watson
Apr 2014 - $22.00
The rate of $21.50 is the Escapee club rate. The park looks a little run-down in appearance, but once situated, everything works ok. We arrived late in the day without a reservation, so the park looked nearly full. We were given a drive-through site that was quite tight. The park is quite tight and we had to drive around a bit to get headed the right way. This is an OK-place for an overnight stay and we would stay again. - hoppytoad

What are the primary differences between LISP and C# with regards to functional programming? In specific, if a LISP programmer was to switch to using C#, what are the features they are most likely to miss?
closed as primarily opinion-based by Rainer Joswig, Wouter Huysentruit, rene, kocko, Mena Aug 26 '13 at 21:52
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Doing functional programming in C# is technically possible (well, any language that has function pointers or delegates equivalent can be "functional") -- but C# gets very very painful if you try to do much.
Off the top of my head, in no particular order:
Edit: One more:
Support for immutability, primarily.
It should be easy to create an immutable type and verify that it's immutable. It should be easy to use an immutable type - support like object and collection initializers, but for the immutable case.
After that: better type inference capabilities, tuples, pattern matching, and supporting libraries (again, immutable lists etc).
EDIT: I should say that I'm not a functional programmer, but I'm a C# programmer trying to learn more functional ways. I'm currently helping out (in a small way) with a functional programming book, so I'm learning lots of stuff there.
However, you will hopefully be pleased with LINQ. It does make life much easier for working with sequences of data.
If you're asking a Lisper as opposed to an ML-family functional programmer, you won't hear anything about tuples or inference. They will say one thing, smugly: MACROS.
Per your question, as a Lisper, what I miss when programming in Java (sorry, I don't use C#):
C# addresses (2) and (3) with
Per your title, as a functional programmer (Haskell), I miss what all those other guys said: immutability, full type inference, tuples, pattern matching, easier generics because no subclassing, strongly typed libraries.
Also, as a Haskell programmer, I still don't like curlies and semi-colons. :)
To expand somewhat on Jon's point, the real value for me in functional programming languages isn't what they've got, but what they're missing.
Most of the "big" languages these days have (or can be tricked into having) the basic functional programming primitives like recursion, higher order functions, etc. So if you really want to, you can write in a functional programming style in most languages (hell, if you have tail-call optimisation in your C compiler, you can pretty much write functional-style code in C).
On the other hand, what mainstream languages also have is a wealth of things that you don't have in a pure functional programming language, and those things can really "break" the functional model, and make it impossible to reason about your functional-style program in the same way as you would about a pure-functional language. Mutable local and global variables, all of the paraphenalia around mutable state concurrency (traditional multi-threaded programming), even iteration if mishandled, all make your functional-style code non-functional (as it were).
Even though you might be able to restrain yourself from misusing the features in your mainstream programming language, it's pretty unlikely that everyone who touches the code over time would be able to restrain themselves, so you can't make assumptions about the functionality of your codebase without really thorough code reviews. Some of the "non-functional" problems are quite subtle, too, so people who want to write functional code can slip up.
The best way to make sure you're being functional is to learn and use a functional programming language. I've managed to learn Erlang to the point that I'm now writing a game server in about two weeks of my very limited spare time, so it's not that much of a challenge -- I believe that functional programming languages, once you wrap your head around the basic concepts, are easier to learn because they're so much more spartan.
A little creativity combined with Linq (which basically is a functional language embedded in C# as becomes more obvious when watching Dr. Erik Meijers great video series on Haskell) will allow you to make your code look more functional.
Here an example without using Linq:
Just don't let Resharper Code Cleanup run over your code as it will make it look like this:
I am, and I do. That is, I use Lisp at home and C# at work and I do miss Lisp when in C#. The question is a little funny because I don't consider (Common) Lisp any more "functional" than C# or Ruby or any other multi-paradigm language.
In general, C#'s functional features are becoming pretty decent, to the point where they're probably Good Enough, if a bit awkward. (Common Lisp's support for functional programming sure isn't perfect, either!) But Common Lisp is a multi-paradigm language; C# doesn't (and may never) match Lisp on syntactic abstraction, code generation, method dispatch flexibility, and so on.
If you're looking for an excuse to avoid learning Lisp because you think C# is just as powerful, sorry. :-)
In addition to Jon's answer
Eric on why C# doesn't have deep inference: http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2009/01/26/why-no-var-on-fields.aspx
Multiple return values. "out" and "ref" is unreadable compared to returning tuples.
Better support for immutability, just like Jon said. Right now immutability on classes are possible due to human discipline.
But the most lacking feature is a solid collection framework designed around immutability.
In my current project I anticipated immutability would be a big win, and it was, but the collection framework is a horrible match.
For example, say you want to add an employee to a company, like
just isn't very performant or nice to implement.
At one point, I even considered making my own collections starting with a simple immutable Cons class. :)
On the other hand, Linq worked out very nice for us. I really like the methods it introduces. I found the special Linq syntax not in my taste.
EDIT: I've too low rank to comment so I'll reply to Jon's comment here. Jon, I decided it was a bad idea due to maintainability. The people that will maintain this project over the next decade probably don't have much Lisp/functional programming exposure. That reminds me of another thing. I wonder how many months of maintenance it will take before my immutable objects become mutable. (Disclaimer, IT business being something of a gold rush era at times I'm painfully aware that many developer don't even get what features like immutable and closures are.)

Cairn Hotel
Hotel was ok, but on the expensive side.
We had a superior room, though I don't know what was superior about it. Seemed like a standard double with a view of someone else's bedroom, & the fire escape. Reception staff, I couldn't fault. Very helpful. I would stay again, only if it was a lot cheaper.

The check in process was quick and efficient.
Both the room and bathroom were quite spacious for a basic room and clean. I appreciated that we were not paying for fancy toiletries which we could easily provide ourselves. The room was warm and there was a nice view of the garden. My only complaint was the poor quality of the pillows. There was a good choice at breakfast and service was much improved on what I had experienced in other hotels of a higher rating. There was plenty of free parking which was on level and easy to negotiate.

If the problem is depth of field, I suggest looking for a solution with movable planes, like a view camera, that allows you to use the Scheimpflug law.
Some bellows exist that allow you to turn - in the sole domain of macro photography - you camera in a "view" camera, with all movements. I think some of those, for 135 format, even have support for automatic diaphragm mechanism (diaphragm stays open for focusing and closes automatically when you take the picture).
Those bellows should exists both for 135 and 120 film cameras, but I suspect they are easier to find for 135.
I never used them so I am only giving a theoretical suggestion here.

Welcome to Battlefield Anomalies!
As you see the site has had a major face lift. Old soldiers may die, but technology marches ever on and, sadly the old design was no longer maintainable. One big advantage is that the articles read well on tablet and other small devices, so no excuses for not visiting us more often.
Battlefields are disappearing at an alarming rate; even those which are/were in reasonably good condition with regard to preservation are still threatened by the onward march of progress. This site is aimed, above all else, to gathering and recording as much information as possible on battlefield sites the world over. If you are interested in preserving a record of any site in your country or area please send any details to me so that I can attempt to bring them together in order to compile a battlefield database. We may not be able to save everything, but what can be saved, I am sure, will be of the utmost value to potential battlefield ramblers and military history students of future generations.

The content of this site including many pictures and photographs is available as a 500 page hardback book. Support independent publishing: Buy this e-book on Lulu.
The table below lists the main sections, most recent published first. If you would like a printable copy, please contact the author.
The Battle of Laon
October 2015: I have drawn heavily on the descriptions of the battle of Laon given in Petre, Lawford, Maycock and Chandler. It is my hope that the reader will search out other sources appertaining to the battle which, although now considered to have been covered in some depth, still has some very interesting features and episodes that are in need more research.
Dr Bob's panoramas will be, as usual, of much benefit in following the course of events and will also allow those who may not be able to visit the site themselves a dramatic view of the battlefield from elevated positions all around the old walls of this lovely city.
Königgrätz Revisited
May 2015: The largest and most one–sided battle of the nineteenth century? Well, the first part of the statement is correct. There were more troops on the field of Königgrätz than any other battle, prior to it or after it until the battle of Mukden (20th February–10th March 1905). Even the greatest battle of the century thus far, Leipzig in 1813, also known as the Battle of Nations, in which, on the final day of the battle the troops on both sides numbered, after losses sustained during the previous days fighting, some 420,000 men engaged, still fell short of the 430,000 plus who stood on the field of Königgrätz. This monograph is also available as a fully illustrated book.
June 2013: Napoleon's campaign of France in 1814 ranks among his finest. His resources were almost near breaking point but somehow the young French recruits managed to pull their emperors chestnuts out of the fire time and again. Their sacrifice for a lost cause should not detract us from remembering their bravery, courage and endurance.
June 2012: Like the "curates egg" my description of the Battle of Kulm may be seen by many as being "good in parts."

March 2012: After many requests, I have produced a copy of Lieutenant – Colonel Neill Malcolm's work was "BOHEMIA 1866".

The book gives much valuable information regarding the campaign and battles of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866.
