Nicatous Lodge Lobster Pie
This is a heritage recipe from Denise and Gary Betz, who ran Nicatous Lodge from 1997 to 2003. Gary Betz, Jr., grew up in a housekeeping sporting camp that his parents, Nancy and Gary Sr., still run in Grand Lake Stream.
"We had an annual wild game potluck at Nicatous, and we also ran a lot of specials. This was something people really enjoyed. Adjust amounts to the number of people being served." - Denise Betz
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 cup well-packed lobster meat
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ¾ cup light cream
- 2 egg yolks
- about ½ cup seasoned cracker crumbs or breadcrumbs
In a saucepan, combine butter and wine and boil 1 minute. Add the lobster and set aside. In another saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and stir until the mixture bubbles. Remove from the heat and slowly stir in the cream. Drain the wine-butter mixture from the lobster and add that liquid to the cream mixture.
Return pan to the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and thick. Remove from the heat. Stir in the egg yolks and pour the sauce into the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water (the sauce may curdle if the water is boiling). Stir about 3 minutes. Add the lobster.
Spoon the mixture into a small pie dish and sprinkle with crushed seasoned crackers or breadcrumbs to cover. Bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes.
From The Maine Sporting Camp Cookbook by Alice Arlen

In a previous blog post, I mentioned that only through the process of climbing the mountain and winning the final game - a national championship - can one truly know he secrets (if you will). However, there are two paths that must be taken to expose the truth (to the secrets). The first path is the climb to the top . . .
All of us coaches have experienced extreme highs and extreme lows. That's what separates coaches from other so-called experts. Perspective and truth is everything! Over my coaching career and specifically during my recruiting days, I experienced both the process, and the effects, of winning and losing at the highest level. I also witnessed the consequences that both have on the student-athletes.
Actually he's not the sole reason, but the life Lance lived for the last 20 years explains the WHY of our Online Leadership Institute(OLI - Video Series Click Here). We transform lives with a specific focus on developing leadership skills and habits through a focus on mental skill awareness – non-physical player development. We present the "essential key" in unlocking the door to build the COMPLETE athlete. We prepare athletes to dominate the MOMENT during competition - proved in our FREE ADReport.
Today makes the official launch date of our Institute. The process of building the platform and finalizing the web construction is finished. Our website, www.onlineleadershipinstitute.com will be our members only hosting website. Designed for ALL athletes age 16-22 and coaches of ALL levels, our Online Leadership Institute is a proactive platform of leadership developing with a focus on mental skill awareness. We provide the most effective and efficient athletic development plan for athletes and coaches through a focus on the non-physical process to achieving championship moments.

Best start … ever
This is really a remarkable statistic. In all the years of winning Yankees tradition, they have never gotten off to a better start out of the All-Star break than the one they're enjoying right now — 23 victories in 29 games, and looking to make it one better this afternoon when Joba Chamberlain tries to pitch the Yankees to a four-game sweep of the Mariners.
The old franchise records were set in 1938 and 1941, with Joe McCarthy calling the shots from the Yankees dugout. Seven other teams have gone 23-6 to open up the second half, according to the Elias Sports Bureau and with one more win, the Yankees would set a new Major League record.
Here's what the current manager has to say:
"I said in Spring Training, I thought we had a very good team," Joe Girardi said. "I believed in this team and we got off to
somewhat of a slow start. There were some things we had to overcome,
and we've overcome some injuries. Guys have stepped up, and I still
believe that we're a good team."
2 Comments
I didn't know this. Don't forget, the Yankees spend a gazillion dollars on their team so having a great start from the All Star Break should be expected.
Expected or not, congrats to the 2009 Bombers on an historic second half.

272 Questions from the Community
Are Apple keyboards, with only a delete key, less efficient in making deletions than conventional keyboards with both a backspace and a delete key?
I have been using a Windows desktop at home and my office. Although I have never had a laptop, I have been planning to buy an Apple laptop for use when I travel. However, I recently used an Apple and found its keyboard, in one particular way, to be inferior to the standard keyboards that I have been accustomed to using. Do you agree?
A conventional keyboard has two keys to make deletions. The backspace key deletes characters to the left of the cursor. The delete key deletes characters to the right of the cursor. In contrast, the Apple keyboard has only one key to make deletions. It is the delete key and it deletes characters to the left of the cursor. It appears that if I want to delete characters to the right of the cursor, there is no way to do that directly and simply. Am I correct about that? I must either use a second key or I must first highlight the text and then delete it.
Using a non-Apple conventional keyboard, it is also possible to delete an entire word and one adjacent space in only two strokes by using a combination of the control key and the delete key. The same can be done in the other direction using the control key and the backspace key. How would these two types of deletion most efficiently be done with an Apple keyboard?
The reality seems to be that two keys to delete can operate more efficiently, in more directions, than only one (Apple). Do you agree that the Apple keyboard is less efficient in making deletions than the conventional keyboard when using Word software? What is the best way to get around that inefficiency in a MacBookPro? If there is no way around it, should this discourage me from getting an Apple since I do lots of word processing and deletions?
Does the Apple keyboard have any advantages over the conventional keyboard that I should be aware of?- Asked by Robert J from Granger

Best Answerfn + Backspace will achieve what you want. The 'fn' key is at the bottom left of your keyboard.
Deleting text in front of the cursor with the regular Delete key can be done by holding down the Function, or fn key while pressing it.
You can also do this by pressing Control + D.
You can delete the entire word behind the cursor by pressing Control + Delete or Option + Delete.
You can delete the entire line of text or paragraph behind the cursor by pressing Command + Delete.- Answered by Mikulas J from Mount Kuring-gai

Do the function keys and special buttons also work on windows computers. And... is the USB port full powered 2.0?
I'm a windows user. I know I need to buy a Mac guys (already got the iPhone =D) But is this lovely looking keyboard also full functional for Windows? I mean, can you use all the function/special/numeric Keys?
Also I'd like to know if the USB ports on the sides of the keyboard are full powered. If I'd connect my iPhone, would it be charged?
Thanks!- Asked by Sjoerd V
- 14-Oct-2009
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerThe keyboard USB ports ARE full powered DEPENDING on your mac. My Intel iMac gives full powered USB ports, but my wife's 12" G4 P-book only produces enough power to run a mouse and a some USB memory sticks.
This is sweet, you can plug a mouse into one side and keep the other one for easy access like USB memory, iPhone, card reader, etc... For even more ports, get a bluetooth mouse but keep the corded keyboard and you get 2 USB ports!
I believe that all the new intel Macs produce full powered USB ports, even the laptops, but you might want to double check on that.
As for the function buttons, they might work in Windows, but I haven't checked (my cheapie MS keyboard makes the F keys work, but not the multimedia keys -note: UNPLUG the keyboard before wiping it down!!).- Answered by Christian K from Cranbrook

- 26-Mar-2012

AnswerThis is a wired keyboard that needs to be plugged into the USB port on a Mac, and is not officially supported on an iPad. I have heard stories of people getting wired keyboards to work through the USB port on the iPad Camera Connection Kit, but I wouldn't recommend it.
If you want a keyboard for your iPad, get the Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard instead. It's smaller, and with the Incase Origami case, it makes an excellent portable keyboard companion for your iPad.- Answered by Jonathan S from Newport Beach

Plans for Nissan GT-R Include Exclusive, Luxurious SpecM
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
Since launching the GT-R, Nissan has been taking on the likes of Porsche and company with a twin-turbocharged supercar capable of out-performing exotics worth twice as much. But while there were rumors that the Japanese automaker was considering a luxury version for its premium Infiniti division, nothing seems to have come to fruition. However emerging reports indicate some exciting developments for the car affectionately known as Godzilla.
In addition to a few minor modifications for the upcoming model year, Nissan is planning a SpecM version with an added measure of luxury and exclusivity. Few details are known at this point, but the existing SpecV model (pictured above) already has hearts racing in true GT-R style. The SpecM should arrive some time next year, but by 2013 the car is expected to receive a thorough overhaul to keep it ahead of the Porsche 911 GT2... and just about anything else, for that matter.

WHY IS JOSEPH PITRUZZELLI, A DOCUMENTED LIAR AND A HYPOCRITE STILL LARABA'S PRESIDENT? Blog Master, LAArtsDistrictBlogs.com 2013-11-18 8:26 PMThe Los Angeles River Artist Business Association is purposely turning a blind eye to their own president's blatant hypocrisy since his arrival in the Los Angeles Arts District. Joseph Pitruzzelli is a blatant hypocrite and must go as LARABA's president. Joseph Pitruzzelli has had no regard or respect for his artist neighbors since his business's rude arrival where he was cited by the city of Los Angeles for the illegal use of an Artist in Residence as a commercial warehouse in the heart of the LA Arts District. A use that has actually driven artists out of the Los Angeles Arts District itself, and the fact that Joseph Pitruzzelli's disruptive and illegal use continues still to date. This is blatant hypocrisy and a slap in the face of the actual artist in the Los Angeles Arts District. Joseph Pitruzzelli must go as the president of the Los Angeles River Artist Association.

Located just 100 miles southeast of Los Angeles, Palm Springs is a booming community boasting 83 square miles of desert land and a current population of 45,000 people. Most visitors arrive by driving from Los Angeles via the Interstate 10, which runs along the north side of Coachella Valley.
Drivers generally take either the Indian Canyon Drive/Palm Springs exit, which gives an up-close view of the giant windmills, or the earlier Tramway exit. Coming in via the Tramway exit, there is a startlingly abrupt transition from pasty desert to brilliant, emerald-green lawns. This transition marks your entrance into the Racquet Club area of Palm Springs, which has catered to Hollywood stars since the mid-1930s.
Throughout all regions of Palm Springs and its surrounding desert cities, visitors enjoy an array of restaurants, shopping and top-notch attractions.

Downtown Palm Springs, also called 'The Loop' and 'The Village', is where nearly every visitor to Palm Springs will spend a considerable amount of time, enjoying shopping, dining, as well as strolling and people-watching. The Plaza Theater , home of the Palm Springs Follies , is in this district, along with the historic Village Green buildings and the Hyatt Regency Hotel . This district also hosts dozens of restaurants, including Muriel's Supper Club and the Kaiser Grille , as well as several gay nightclubs, among them Hunter's , which enjoys a worldwide reputation.
South Palm Springs
South Palm Springs is located along South Palm Canyon Drive and offers a mixture of moderately priced hotels, restaurants and residences. The Smoke Tree Ranch and Stables is located in this area, which is adjacent to the main portion of the Agua Caliente band of Cahuilla Indian Reservation, where the Indian Canyons , a popular hiking attraction, are located. The Canyon Country Club is also in this area.
Palm Springs Residential Areas
One ritzy residential area is Little Tuscany, near the former Racquet Club, featuring many deluxe homes built in an Italian style. If you are on the Palm Springs Celebrity Tours , this area may be on your itinerary. Another stop for stargazing tours is the Las Palmas area, still the favorite haunt of many wealthy Palm Springs residents. Off-limits is the enclave of South Ridge, permanently patrolled and protected behind a locked gate. Comedian Bob Hope is the best-known occupant. Meanwhile, the Movie Colony area, also once popular with the Hollywood set, is now undergoing a renaissance of remodeling.
Desert Hot Springs
Like Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs began with warm water bubbling up out of the earth. Several hotels take advantage of this great natural gift, including the Miracle Springs Hotel and Spa , the Desert Hot Springs Spa Hotel and the Two Bunch Palms Resort and Spa. This community is located on the far side of Interstate 10, just northeast of downtown Palm Springs.
Cathedral City
Though the individual Chambers of Commerce do not like to admit it, the other desert cities surrounding Palm Springs tend to blend into each other along Highway 111. Unless you keep a sharp eye on the decorative markers, it may be difficult to know when you have left Palm Springs for Cathedral City.
The community of Cathedral City has several golf courses and some shopping. Much of the everyday business of nearby Palm Springs is transacted here. There are several good hotels, including the Doral Palm Springs Resort and some less-expensive options. The new IMAX Theater is located here as well.
Rancho Mirage
Proceeding along Highway 111, Rancho Mirage blends into Cathedral City, offering abundant dining choices on "Restaurant Row." You will find Stuart Anderson's Black Angus, Chart House, Kobe Japanese Steakhouse and many others in this area. In addition, the Mission Hills Country Club, Tamarisk Country Club and the Ritz Carlton are among the upscale offerings in this area.
Palm Desert & Indian Wells
Palm Desert features the deluxe shopping region of El Paseo , where fine stores offer art, clothing, crystal and more. In fact, this street is often called 'The Rodeo Drive of the Desert', named after the famous Beverly Hills shopping district. In addition, The McCallum Theatre is located in the Palm Desert community, along with The Living Desert Wildlife and Botanical Park .
Just after Palm Desert, Indian Wells offers the Indian Wells Country Club , the Miramonte Resort and the Hyatt Grand Champions Resort . Exclusive residential communities abound as well.
La Quinta
Farther along 111, golf Mecca La Quinta hosts several private courses, including the PGA West Arnold Palmer Private Golf Course , which is one of the locations for the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic . There is the La Quinta Resort and the La Quinta Golf Course as well. Exclusive housing areas cling to the edges of the golf courses.
Serving as a gateway into the more agricultural portion of the Coachella Valley, Indio is the location for the annual Date Festival held at the Riverside County Fairgrounds. Devane's , a restaurant owned and operated by actor William Devane, is located here, along with the Indio Fashion Mall , a popular mid-range shopping stop. In addition, The Landmark Golf Club hosts The Skins Game annually.
Throughout Palm Springs and its surrounding cities, visitors enjoy quality dining, luxurious resorts and world-famous golf courses. It's no wonder why this community consistently draws countless tourists from around the globe.
Palm Springs began by appealing to the high-living Hollywood crowd, which made this town Los Angeles' desert retreat. For many years, the cuisine was predominately meat and potatoes or Italian, and while both of these cuisines still flourish, there is considerably more variety available today.
The Loop
Many of Palm Springs' best restaurants are found on 'The Loop', formed by North Palm Canyon Drive and Indian Canyon Drive. Everything from decades-old landmark dining essentials to opened-last-week hot spots can be found within easy walking distance. Many places urge reservations, but it's also tempting to simply wander between them until one strikes your fancy, fits your budget and has a table available without an extensive wait. The Loop also offers many casual eateries, diners, ice cream shops and coffeehouses, perfect for quick snacks or a reviving espresso.
The Kaiser Grille offers finely prepared dishes, some with an Italian flair. As with almost all restaurants, outside dining is available and provides a great perch for people watching.
Mexican food is a favorite, with a number of places thriving for years. One of the most fun spots is Las Casuelas Terraza , offering excellent food and live music most of the day. The festivities begin in the morning with table-strolling mariachis and carry on until late at night in the bar, which features a heated dance floor. Another Palm Springs institution is Del Rio's Taqueria, offering outdoor dining in a beautiful courtyard atmosphere at the corner of Tahquitz Canyon and Indian Trails. The pavilion bar is a quirky black-light marvel, specializing in agave-based tequila margaritas, very easy to drink and very hard to survive unscathed. Each table also sports a wine-bottle size container of the restaurant's proprietary hot sauce, made mainly of scalding-hot Habanero peppers. Like the margaritas, the hot stuff is easy to taste, but much harder to survive as the heat develops on the tongue.
An excellent choice for casual American dining is Hamburger Hamlet at the corner of Palm Canyon and Tahquitz Canyon Way. Prices are low and the quality is outstanding. The house Lobster Bisque can hold its own against much more illustrious competition. According to the host, the Hamlet meets all requirements for a three-star restaurant rating, yet it's still a place you can take your kids. Another cheerful family dining choice is Ruby's , a 1950s-style diner featuring hamburgers, sandwiches, Mom-style main dishes, ice cream drinks and desserts.
Meanwhile, the five-star Le Vallauris offers 'French-California' cuisine in a French country patio atmosphere or a lush, chateau interior dining room, all just moments away from the Palm Canyon district. The prestigious Zagat Guide named Le Vallauris the "Best Restaurant" in Coachella Valley.
Off The Loop
Searching for the spirit of famed Palm Springs resident Frank Sinatra? His old haunts include Riccio's and Melvyn's at the Ingleside Inn . If you hope to catch a glimpse of additional Hollywood stars, Melvyn's has also been named the 'Best Place to See Celebrities', offering an extensive photo collection of famous diners.
Cathedral City
Heading out of Palm Springs along Highway 111, Cathedral City offers The Wilde Goose, which features continental cuisine and wild game dishes including venison, quail and the occasional elk or wild boar.
Rancho Mirage
Restaurants are cluster along this stretch of highway coined "Restaurant Row" by the Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce. Favorite spots along the row include Kobe Japanese Steak House , housed in a dramatic building re-creating a Japanese-style inn, and Stuart Anderson's Black Angus.
Whether you choose to dine in downtown Palm Springs or at one of the surrounding desert cities, you are likely to find a delightful atmosphere and delicious cuisine. Enjoy your dining adventures in Palm Springs, where vigorous competition helps assure excellent quality and value throughout the city.
Palm Springs draws numerous tourists from around the globe year after year. What keeps these visitors coming back to this desert haven? Most guests praise the world-championship golf courses, although others rave about the shopping, restaurants and shows offered in Palm Springs. Whatever your preference, you will find a variety of pleasurable attractions along these tours of Coachella Valley.
Tour One: Downtown Palm Springs
Begin your tour on Highway 111, after exiting from Interstate-10. Continue along Highway 111 until you reach North Palm Canyon Drive. Charming eateries are found along North Palm Canyon Drive. Consider stopping at Crosswalk Cafe , a casual venue with fresh baked breads and goodies. Meanwhile, Hamburger Hamlet is an ideal lunchtime spot for families.
Once you reach the intersection of North Palm Canyon Drive and Tahquitz Canyon Way, take a brief detour westward to find Museum Drive. Along this strip, visit Palm Springs Desert Museum with its exquisite sculpture gardens, and Annenberg Theater where traditional opera and ballet concerts are performed.
Back along Palm Canyon Drive (which becomes South Palm Canyon Drive after the Tahquitz Canyon Way intersection), visit the Plaza Theater , a 1930s movie house that has been transformed into a modern-day theater facility. The theater hosts scores of popular attractions including the Palm Springs Follies , a wildly popular show starring only folks over 50 years of age. Near the theater, The Blue Guitar draws large nighttime crowds with blues music and a hardwood dance floor.
Slightly further south, visitors will enjoy a stretch of historical landmarks. The Agua Caliente Cultural Museum showcases artifacts from early Native American tribes. In addition, the McCallum Adobe and Ruddy's General Store , two of Palm Springs' earliest establishments, both now serve as museums.
Palm Canyon Drive eventually turns eastbound, newly dubbed East Palm Canyon Drive. Merv Griffin's Givenchy Spa & Resort is located along this stretch of land. One of the most exclusive and luxurious resorts in Coachella Valley, this establishment hosts Fashions at Merv's Place, a monthly show featuring the latest trends of upscale Palm Springs boutiques.
When East Palm Canyon Drive meets Gene Autry Trail, turn north to find Palm Springs Air Museum , an incredible display of historic planes, highlighting an extensive collection of World War II aircraft.
Tour Two: Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert
While Palm Springs offers countless attractions, its surrounding desert cities also feature notable tourist spots. After visiting the sites along the Downtown Palm Springs tour, simply drive eastbound along East Palm Canyon Drive into Cathedral City where you will find popular attractions for families. The Desert IMAX Theater shows 3-D movies on a screen that spans six stories in height. Cathedral City also features top-notch public golf courses including the Cimarron Golf Resort and Cathedral Canyon Country Club .
Once you enter Rancho Mirage, visit this community's popular museum for youngsters. The Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert offers dozens of interactive exhibits for kids including an archaeological dig.
Nearby Palm Desert features the most popular attractions on this tour, found along the famed El Paseo Avenue , also called "the Rodeo Drive of the desert." The Gardens on El Paseo is an elaborate shopping center offering everything from clothing and luggage to pottery. Meanwhile, Coda Gallery features contemporary works of art including paintings, sculptures and glass masterpieces.
While El Paseo reigns supreme among the Palm Desert venues, the city hosts a few other notable attractions. The Living Desert is a delightful display of flora and fauna accompanied by a vast range of wild animal species. In addition, McCallum Theater is located in Palm Desert, showcasing cultural and musical events.
Tour Three: Eastern Desert Cities
While Palm Springs and its surrounding desert cities boast a variety of attractions, many tourists come simply to play golf. An abundance of golf courses dominate Coachella Valley. Some of the finest courses are found along PGA Boulevard in La Quinta where the PGA West Resort Courses are located. Tee off on a course designed by Jack Nicklaus or other top-name golfers. In addition, view world-famous golf tournaments such as the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic , which is hosted by the Arnold Palmer Course.
Golfing action continues in the community of Indio. While this town is significantly less upscale than La Quinta, the community has earned a favorable reputation for quality public courses. In fact, Indio's Landmark Golf Club hosted the prestigious 1999 Skins Game, an annual professional tournament broadcast on network television. In addition to public golf courses, Indio also hosts the annual Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival .
Whether you are looking to tee off on a world championship golf course or simply browse through upscale shopping boutiques, select a tour through Palm Springs and its surrounding cities. Each tour offers different highlights, but you will always find variety and sunshine along these tours of the Coachella Valley.

CALGARY — Oil and gas producer Talisman Energy Inc. (TSX:TLM) has become the target of an activist investor.
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn revealed Monday — in both a U.S. regulatory filing and on Twitter — that he has bought more than 61.5 million shares of Talisman for a 5.97 per cent stake.
"May have conversations with mgmt re strategic alternatives, board seats, etc.," Icahn tweeted.
In a U.S. regulatory filing late Monday, Icahn revealed he has spent $277 million US for more than 61.5 million "American-style" call options for Talisman. The options carry an exercise price of $8 (for a total of $488 million) and expire in March 2015. If exercised, the shares would be equal to a 5.97 per cent stake.
"The reporting persons intend to have conversations with members of the issuer's management to discuss strategic alternatives which may enhance shareholder value, including, among other things, asset sales or potential corporate restructuring. The reporting persons may also discuss the possibility of shareholder board representation."
About a year ago, Talisman replaced then-CEO John Manzoni with Hal Kvisle, a former boss of pipeline giant TransCanada Corp. (TSX:TRP) who had served on the board.
Under Kvisle's leadership, Talisman has pared down its portfolio, focusing its capital on two key strategic areas: the Americas and Southeast Asia. It has several assets already on the sale block in the North Sea and elsewhere around the world and has already exited some of its higher-risk exploration areas, such as Peru.
Talisman has also reduced its workforce, and put a greater focus on profitability than on production growth.
"We appreciate constructive input from shareholders and take their views seriously. We are committed to acting in the best interests of the company and give due consideration to constructive recommendations for strategies or actions that have the potential to increase shareholder value," Talisman spokeswoman Phoebe Buckland said in an emailed statement.
She said Talisman believes its current strategy will position it to be a "highly competitive player" in its core areas and "generate long-term value."
"The aim of this strategy is to significantly improve total shareholder returns and near-term profitability and is in the best interest of the company and all its stakeholders," added Buckland.
Talisman's shares rose 4.8 per cent to $13.15 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Monday, prior to the announcement.

Unsung Tech Hero: Dennis Ritchie (1941-2011)
The world has lost two giants of technology in as many weeks.
The news that Dennis Ritchie died on 12 October, aged 70, after enduring cancer and heart disease for several years, elicited a quiet response. Ritchie was the creator of the C programming language and one of the co-inventors of the Unix operating system, which means we're living in a world Ritchie helped to invent.
"When Steve Jobs died last week, there was a huge outcry, and that was very moving and justified", said Rob Pike, a colleague of Ritchie's, speaking to Wired. "But Dennis had a bigger effect, and the public doesn't even know who he is."
Pretty much all of the daily interactions we have with technology owe something to Ritchie's creations 40 years ago. The internet is built on Unix, from the server farms behind Google and Amazon to the router through which you're locally connected. Your TV probably runs an operating system based on Unix. As does your Mac, your iPhone, your iPad – OS X and iOS are built on BSD, a Unix variant – and of course any Linux machine and Android device.
Then there's C, the language in which Unix – and a vast amount of other software from the core of Windows to MATLAB – is written. And when software isn't written in C there's a very good chance it's written in a language descended from, or heavily influenced by, Ritchie's creation, whether C++, Java, or C#.
Unix was developed by Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T's Bell Labs in the 60s after the project they had been working on – an ambitious multi-user operating system known as Multics – was dropped by the company for being too complex. Young, idealistic, and stubborn, Ritchie and Thompson decided to build a simpler, streamlined version of the operating system by themselves: Unics – or Unix – a pun on Multics was the result.
C was designed by Ritchie initially as a means to an end in developing his new operating system, but its versatility and ability to be compiled to different computer architectures quickly made it an enormously useful tool. The C Programming Language, the book Ritchie wrote with Brian Kernighan, setting out the standard definition of the C language, has become a classic.
Due to its official status as a telecoms monopoly, AT&T was at first unable to enter the computer industry and thus unable to market this new operating system it suddenly had its hands on. So Ritchie and Thompson simply gave their creations away to friends and colleagues in universities, who used them to teach a generation of programmers, engineers, and computer scientists.
Even more crucially, Ritchie's initial free dissemination of Unix and C led to the free software movement. When AT&T eventually wriggled itself into a position where it could make money from Unix, MIT researcher Richard Stallman started making a free version of Unix under the GNU (Gnu's Not Unix) umbrella. GNU – along with its Linux kernel and myriad satellite utilities – is at the core of everything open source.
It's so easy to forget about the countless, unsleeping machines behind the slickness of today's interactions with technology, but Ritchie lives on in the hearts of most of them. Now's a good time to spare a thought for both them and him.
