This blog discusses items of interest to genealogical researchers, with an emphasis on California. It also focuses on internet-centered genealogy research, and covers tools and techniques unique to that space.
30 July 2009
Introducing GooBooGenI [Reference Shelf]
Now moved to its own domain, and using a MUCH friendlier backend system (Joomla!, for those curious), the index finally has some legs to grow on, and will be much much easier for me to maintain, organize and update. In addition, I've utilized the new embed feature from Google Books to embed titles right in their page, so users can do preliminary searches within books to see if titles are appropriate for their own use.
The site is a work in progress. It needs some beautifying, it needs a mite more content moved over from the original site, and it needs some additional features, but it is already a useable site, so I wanted to let researchers know about it.
Let me give you a tour!
Navigating the Site
The navigation options reside on the left-hand side of the site. You can drill down from general to specific categories from the Main Menu, or you can search on a keyword using the search field.
Note that books for localities outside of the United States will be added in the coming weeks.
Once you have arrived at a location-level page (in this case a state in the U.S.), all titles for that locality have been broken up into distinct categories. Each book resides on its own article page, thus the numbers to the right of each category tell you how many books are listed therein:
Note, too, that a breadcrumb trail appears at the top of the screen, so you can always find your way back to where you were!
Once inside of a state's categories, you will see the books listed by title. The year after each title is the date of publication:
The hit numbers tell you how many times each title has been viewed.
Another item to note is the "Display" option. The default number of titles displayed is 20. You can make this number higher or lower, depending on your preference and your internet connection speed.
You can also use the "Title Filter" to search for keywords within the category you are in. Remember that this only searches for your keyword within the titles of the books as listed on the pages here at GooBooGenI. Here's a shot of the category listing all titles, followed by a Title Filter search:
Title filter searches are run across all titles in a category, even if there are more than 20 titles, and the titles run across multiple pages.
You can also use the site's search field, which is present in the left-hand menu at all times (although sometimes fairly far down). (Note that there is currently a 20-character limit for searches.) Again, remember that this search is only being run on the titles of the books on GooBooGenI, not within the books themselves. The following screenshot shows a search being run, and the subsequent search results page:
Each title relevant to the search is listed, along with the category in which that title resides, and the date it was added to the database.
The Books
As mentioned above, I have taken advantage of the embed feature from Google Books to embed a searchable, browsable version of each book on its own page. Here's a screenshot of a Jones family genealogy:
Each page shows the title of the book, includes a rating option (more on this below), and the embed itself. As noted by the red arrow, the embed has some navigational features (albeit rudimentary ones), which allow you to increase or decrease the zoom, and flip backwards and forwards in the book. For titles on which it is available, a "Contents" button will appear to the left of the search field, which allows you to browse the table of contents for the book.
The real power of the embed, however, lies in its search functionality. Here's a search on the term "Wales" being run on the Jones genealogy we selected above:
Note that the search function tells you how many results were found within the book, allows you to page through the results, and shows the results in context on the page! This should prove a handy tool for genealogists looking for titles worthy of closer inspection.
In the Future
I hope that this brief overview of the new Google Books Genealogy Index proves to you that it has the potential to be alot more useful than its static HTML predecessor:
I am working on adding international titles, as well as updating each category.
I am researching ways in which I can allow submissions of titles not currently found in the index; enabling registered accounts to create personal libraries; adding comment capabilities to each book page to allow for discussions of each books' merits or drawbacks; and the ability for trusted registered users to add books to the index on their own! I'm hoping that in concert with the rating option currently available on each book's page, we will be able to begin some online conversations about the reliability and veracity of different titles.
As you can see, there is a lot to do, and many ways in which GooBooGeni can become even more useful to the genealogy community. If you have any comments at all about the site, good or bad, I would love to hear them. The index is only as useful as it is used, so I want this to be a resource that works for the most people possible. Please leave me a comment or find me on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/JenniferJRegan) to let me know what you think.

Brilliant idea! I have many titles to add to your project. I always feel the need to create my own library everywhere I go, and previously had 900+ books in my Google on-line library. I've deleted some in the ongoing (futile) effort to downsize the number of books I might (just might) need, but still have many I could add to your list. Your blog is one of the few that always provides such useful information and education, and I always look forward to reading it. (Plus it doesn't hurt that some of my ancestors lived in California, so I feel a special kinship with you anyway.) -Lori

I have never used Pade Approximants before but am about to take the first step.
I have a few questions and am looking for advice.
The data to be approximated is a non-linear angular quantity, θ, which is a function of parameter k and has been computed numerically. I am hoping to find a relatively simple approximant for θ, sin(θ), or cos(θ) as a function of k. If I know a function for one of these quantities, the other two quantities are easy to compute.
Plots for sin(θ) and cos(θ) have been made, as well as for their first and second derivatives: d/dk{sin(θ)], d/dk[cos(θ)], d2/dk2[sin(θ)], and d2/dk2[cos(θ)]. A plot of d/dk[sin(θ)] changed concavity over the range of investigation from concave down to concave up. A plot of d/dk[cos(θ)] is concave up over the entire range of investigation.
Do these factors play any role in choosing which function for which a Pade approximant should be determined?
i.e., does the accuracy of the approximant change depending upon whether the Pade approximant is for
(i) θ,
(ii) sin(θ), whose concavity changes over the range of investigation, or,
(iii) cos(θ), whose concavity does NOT change over the range of investigation?
Another question about Pade approximations in general:
Does a Pade approximant reveal whether the underlying function is a regular, monomial, polynomial?
For example, say I generate data for a known quadratic function: y = k*x2.
I pretend the function is unknown and create a Pade approximant for it.
Would this Pade approximant reveal to me that original true quadratic?
Pade Approximants: Factors to Consider?
For the discussion of math. Duh.

For Tim And Linda Moller, This '69 Barracuda Goes All Out
While some of us like to drive our cars every day regardless of the weather, some cars are created to be enjoyed in the sunshine. For Tim and Linda Moller of Monroe, North Carolina, that's definitely the case. The Mollers have owned a variety of cars throughout the years, from street rods to '57 Chevys, but in 1998 they decided to replace the '68 Barracuda they'd owned when they first married, and the model from the following year fit the bill perfectly.
By 1969 the Barracuda had existed in its then-current form for three model years. Of course, 1970 would see the debut of the new E-Body platform, but this example was about as "cool" as you could get for the cruise scene in the A-Body package. At the time the Mollers purchased the car, it was a work-in-progress; it was basically rust-free, though some imbecile had run into the driver-side door, which was replaced with one from a '67 model. The seller, D&D Motors in Riverview, Florida, repainted it with Scorch Red Ditzler acrylic. Tim drove it home once it was finished.
Originally powered by a 318, a little more juice under the hood was in order. A mechanic by trade, Tim could have accomplished this on his own, but he received a great deal on a 360 from a friend, so that's what went between the front fenders. Built by Bob Warren in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, the motor sports a Comp 268 Extreme Energy cam, 9.5:1 Keith Black pistons, prepped heads, and an Edelbrock Performer sporting a 625-cfm Edelbrock (ex-Carter AVS) carb. A set of tti headers and a Mopar electronic ignition system complete this package. Included with the never-fired engine was a basically new, rebuilt 727 with a B&M shift kit (see, we told you it was a great deal). A 2,500-stall converter sits between the two pieces, while a 3.23 Sure Grip outfit resides in the 8 3/4 rear out back.
Suspension upgrades were next. Tim installed a quadrant of KYB gas shocks on the car so it handled in a more modern manner. For that fun '60's look, few rims have the nostalgic appeal of Cragar S/S mags and these are hosting a set of 225/R60x14 Cooper Cobra radials. While we considered the car nice enough as it sits, Tim and Linda say next on the agenda is redoing the interior and upgrading to disc brakes. One neat item on the car right now is the stealth AM/FM Chrysler radio, which has been gutted, filled with up-to-date parts, and hosts a CD changer in the trunk.
Tim admits when he first started looking for his project, he was looking for a pickup; Linda, on the other hand, wanted the Barracuda. Neither has any regrets for settling on the latter, which is humorously called TPLESS69. It has taken awards at several shows and is driven regularly. They figured about 10K changed hands to get it to its current state. It might be topless, but just like the Mastercard advertisement, the results and the fun times had while rolling down the open road with the top down and the stereo blaring are priceless.

What is FLANN?
FLANN is a library for performing fast approximate nearest neighbor searches in high dimensional spaces. It contains a collection of algorithms we found to work best for nearest neighbor search and a system for automatically choosing the best algorithm and optimum parameters depending on the dataset.
FLANN is written in C++ and contains bindings for the following languages: C, MATLAB and Python.
- (14 December 2012) Version 1.8.0 is out bringing incremental addition/removal of points to/from indexes
- (20 December 2011) Version 1.7.0 is out bringing two new index types and several other improvements.
- You can find binary installers for FLANN on the Point Cloud Library project page. Thanks to the PCL developers!
- Mac OS X users can install flann though MacPorts (thanks to Mark Moll for maintaining the Portfile)
- New release introducing an easier way to use custom distances, kd-tree implementation optimized for low dimensionality search and experimental MPI support
- New release introducing new C++ templated API, thread-safe search, save/load of indexes and more.
- The FLANN license was changed from LGPL to BSD.
How fast is it?
In our experiments we have found FLANN to be about one order of magnitude faster on many datasets (in query time), than previously available approximate nearest neighbor search software.
More information and experimental results can be found in the following papers:
- Marius Muja and David G. Lowe: "Scalable Nearest Neighbor Algorithms for High Dimensional Data". Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI), Vol. 36, 2014. [PDF]
@article{flann_pami_2014, title={Scalable Nearest Neighbor Algorithms for High Dimensional Data}, author={Marius Muja and David G. Lowe}, journal={Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, IEEE Transactions on}, volume={36}, year={2014}, publisher={IEEE} }
- Marius Muja and David G. Lowe: "Fast Matching of Binary Features". Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV) 2012. [PDF]
@inproceedings{Attach:binary_matching_crv2012, author = {Marius Muja and David G. Lowe}, title = {Fast Matching of Binary Features}, booktitle = {Computer and Robot Vision {(CRV)}}, year = {2012}, pages = {404-410} }
- Marius Muja and David G. Lowe, "Fast Approximate Nearest Neighbors with Automatic Algorithm Configuration", in International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISAPP'09), 2009 [PDF]
@inproceedings{muja_flann_2009, author = {Marius Muja and David G. Lowe}, title = {Fast Approximate Nearest Neighbors with Automatic Algorithm Configuration}, booktitle = {International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Application VISSAPP'09)}, publisher = {INSTICC Press}, year = {2009}, pages = {331-340} }
Getting FLANN
The latest version of FLANN can be downloaded from here:
- Version 1.8.4 (15 January 2013)
Changes from 1.8.3:
- Fixed memory leak and OpenMP compilation under MSVC
User manual
- Version 1.8.0 (14 December 2012)
- incremental addition and removal of points to/from indexes
- more flexible index serialization
- replaced TBB multi-threading support with OpenMP
- bug fixes
- NOTE: Due to changes in the library, the on-disk format of the saved indexes has changed and it is not possible to load indexes saved with an older version of the library.
If you don't want to compile FLANN from source you can try the binary installers prepared by the Point Cloud Library (PCL) project here (Ubuntu/Debian PPA, Windows Installers and Mac OS X Universal Binary).
If you want to try out the latest changes or contribute to FLANN, then it's recommended that you checkout the git source repository:
git clone git://github.com/mariusmuja/flann.git
If you just want to browse the repository, you can do so by going here.
System requirements
The FLANN library was developed and tested under Linux. A C++ compiler is required to build FLANN. The Python bindings require the presence of the Numerical Python (numpy) package.
Conditions of use
FLANN is distributed under the terms of the BSD License.
If you have any questions or comments please email them to: .
Please report bugs or feature requests using github's issue tracker.

Years ago a television anchor would say, "It's 10:30 p.m. Do you know where your children are?" We have another question. What is a 13-year-old girl doing out on the streets at 3 a.m.?
There she was, on a Heath Springs street, with seven other young people, said Vincent Webb, a Lancaster County Sheriff's deputy. Webb's job is to police the town of Heath Springs.
Unless they are committing a crime there is nothing illegal about youngsters being out that time at night.

Late nights and early mornings at the office may help your career prospects, but they can hurt you in another way. New research has found a link between overworking and the reduced well-being of workers.
Employees who worked more than 50 hours in a week suffered from decreased mental and physical health, the research found.
"We looked at the association between workaholism and physical and mental well-being," said researcher Sarah Asebedo, a doctoral student at Kansas State University. "We found workaholics – defined by those working more than 50 hours per week – were more likely to have reduced physical well-being, measured by skipped meals. Also, we found that workaholism was associated with reduced mental well-being as measured by a self-reported depression score."
[7 Ways to Improve Your Work-Life Balance]
The problem becomes complicated, however, when looking at why workers choose to put in extra hours. Asebedo and her research team of fellow doctoral students Sonya Britt and Jamie Blue attempted to describe why workers might overwork by looking at Gary Becker's Theory of Time Allocation.
"This theory suggests that the more money you make, the more likely you are to work more,"Asebedo said. "It looks at the cost of time as if it were a market good. If you are not engaged in work-related activities, then there is a cost to the alternative way in which time is spent. Even if you understand the negative consequences to workaholism, you may still be likely to continue working because the cost of not doing so becomes greater."
Once workers begin to think that way they are at risk of falling victim to the negative health effects of working overtime, the researchers found. To help mitigate those feelings, workers should be sure to understand limitations at work. Additionally, workers can understand the role that work plays in their personal lives.
The research "Workaholism and Well-Being" will appear in the Financial Services Review.

Midtown District Neighborhood Officers
MPD's neighborhood officers are assigned to specific areas of the City. The neighborhoods are geographically small, and typically have a high need for police services.
Neighborhood officers work full-time in their assigned neighborhoods. Rather than responding to calls for police service, they take a proactive approach to find long-term solution to problems in their areas. Neighborhood officers are typically assigned to their areas for up to four years, and they become very familiar with their neighborhoods and residents.

Great article Mike but I don't think these thought processes can apply to every designer.
Not everyone is in the same position as you and we don't all have the fantastic budgets and open minded clientele that you work with.
As already mentioned by other posts, some clients have old school ideologies and less attractive budgets which means giving the client what they want, without really being able to put our stamp on things.
Putting this all aside, if we do try to break the mould and offer an alternative, then even the least attractive client could conform to our formulas as certain styles and UX would become more acceptable.
I'm of the notion that function should always eclipse design because if a user can't navigate a website, what is the point? Regardless of how pretty it looks, but…
…If you have a website that looks s**t hot and functions really well, then you're certainly on to a winner ;-)

Jazzy Photo Roundup #3 – The Enes Kanter Edition
Weekly roundup of photos posted by our Jazzmen: former, present, and legendary.
This week's edition of the (in theory weekly) Jazzy Photo Roundup just went up two days ago, but
Enes this couldn't wait (all via @Enes_Kanter).
You'll notice that the above pics were all in black and white. Exclusively for all y'all, I was able to procure one color shot from my sources:
On the subject of this pic:
The last shot Enes tweeted* today was of him, post-haircut. @5kl (BBJ) with the tweet of the night:
* Reading the tweets, I'd hazard a guess that it's Enes' agent (or his agent's secretary, or his agent's secretary's intern) tweeting from Enes' account. But who cares, when there's pictures.

Sunscreens are necessary for days with hours of time spent
in the sun, especially kids playing baseball, or playing at
the park, or swimming. As for sunscreens, I am very
concerned about the use of ingredients in most commercial
brands. Many of these chemical sunscreens have carcinogenic
and/or hormone disrupting effects. These include cinnamates,
PABA, oxybenzone, salicylates, benzophenones, and
triethenolamine, among others. These ingredients are
absorbed through the skin, and can be found in plasma and
urine samples after their use in humans. I don't consider
them safe for anyone, especially children.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is contained in many "natural"
sunscreens, but this metal has also been implicated as a
potential problem in humans. Titanium dioxide has the
ability to cause DNA damage in human cells. Although the
Environmental Protection Agency has not identified any
carcinogenic effects of TiO2, its ability to alter DNA
strands is a cause for concern.
Zinc oxide is the only completely safe sunblocking agent. In
addition zinc oxide also has anti-inflammatory effects that
can help to mitigate damage caused by UV radiation. Zinc
oxide blocks both UVA and UVB radiation. Excellent sunscreen
products that contain only zinc oxide as the active
ingredient are made by UVNaturalUSA.com. Their Sport 30 is
the most water repellent of their products. These sunscreens
use a transparent zinc oxide that does not create a white
mask on the skin. They can be ordered through many online
sources and health food stores. These sunscreens are safe
for most infants as well. A thin layer works well. If
swimming, reapply every 2 hours.
Enjoy the sunny weather. Avoid getting sunburned and be
prudent about sun exposure at midday. Wear a hat. Protect
your eyes with UV sunglasses. Use a zinc oxide sunscreen.
And have fun.

A delectable comedy for every woman who has ever wondered if buying that $6 box of organic crackers makes her a hero or a sucker.
Julia Bailey is a mompreneur with too many principles and too little time. Her fledgling company, Julia's Child, makes organic toddler meals with names like Gentle Lentil and Give Peas a Chance. But before she realizes her dream of seeing them on the shelves of Whole Foods, she will have to make peace between her professional aspirations and her toughest food critics: the two little boys waiting at home. Is it possible to save the world while turning a profit?
JULIA'S CHILD is a warmhearted, laugh-out-loud story about motherhood's choices: organic vs. local, paper vs. plastic, staying at home vs. risking it all.
Praise for Julia's Child
"Pinneo skewers the cult of the child with an insider's eye. A witty, well-plotted fiction debut."
"Pinneo, a cookbook author who used to work on Wall Street, has seamlessly blended her two interests into this cute fiction debut. Well written, well paced, and very absorbing."
"Peppered with real recipes and the kind of convincing details expected from a food writer. [A] foodie take on I Don't Know How She Does It."
"Hilarious and moving, I actually missed my subway stop reading Julia's Child. Any parent will relate to Julia's triumphs and misadventures."
—ALICE BRADLEY, blogger at Finslippy.com, and coauthor ofLet's Panic About Babies.
"A clear-eyed look at what it means to hold firm to ideals while making peace with reality."
—DAPHNE UVILLER, author of Hotel No Tell.
"Julia's Child is a savory read packed with humor and heart."
—JENNY NELSON, author of Georgia's Kitchen.

This guy posted on youtube that he'd sampled two of my cartoons to make his video above. I thought hmm, what's this about. I really like the video, the way it syncs to the music is such a treat, the found footage so weird and the guy in front of the couch a charmer.

I've seen the couch guy before. It's a sort of internet fad video. He's selling furniture by rapping.
Sally, what are your thoughts on "remixing" or "sampling," of any media but specifically video/visual media since that's what you work with?
While not exactly the same thing as what you've posted here, there's been a thing on the internet the past couple of years I'm very amused by. It's called "Youtube Poop." It was originally started by some teenage friends, the idea was to remix various video and audio clips in a totally random manner, kind of dada art I guess, to confuse or annoy strangers and make each other laugh. It caught on and now tons of people make "poops," though most of them are now made with the intent to amuse rather than confuse or annoy, though they are nevertheless very much oriented to the "random."

At first I was bothered by the resampling concept, being someone who remembers filling out a copyright notice and mailing it to the Library of Congress. But I think copyright is a last millenium concept, I really do. And I've grabbed clips on youtube to build pieces myself, like the "I am a Mole and I live in a hole" video.
What impressed me about this one was how tight the sync was, which is what gives it charm. It takes time and a careful ear to line sync up so exactly.

I'm very honored indeed that you enjoyed the video.
I'm afraid you're right about copyright being a mostly millennium concept, 'afraid' because nobody wants their work stolen. But I'm very excited by the possibilities, at the same time..
Video is becoming as common and easily manipulatable as audio; as with audio I think sampling is permissible assuming credit is given where due.
Of course, if you're making money off someone else's work, then I see how citing your references is not enough (although access to billions of videos on the internet, and laws like the Fair Use Doctrine suggest to me that our copyright system may be heading for a complete upheaval..)
But in my case, it's purely homage. Being a student, this is the closest I have to a music video :)
Carry on, Sally, carry on!

I'm using the older version of iMovie which comes with Mac Osx.. v 6.0.4 to be precise. The version after that they rebuilt it and messed it up completely. There wasn't even a timeline..
It's a bit limited though!
I wanna do some green screening type madness sometime. Or some simple animations out of blocks of color to match the melody notes or something..
I'd like to keep up this series of animating my beets but some new methods would be in order soon, basically.
I've looked at Final Cut but that is unbelievably complicated.
Worth learning, do you think?
Any simple animation programs you would recommend? I think I have one or two more of these youtube mashup videos in me and then I need to try something new :).

Pebbles are a great way to incorporate the beauty of nature in both interior and exterior home design. Here are some ideas on how you can use these stones of various shapes, colors, and sizes to bring in a completely different look to your living spaces:
1. Pebbles as Decorations
Using pebbles as ornaments can be as easy as placing a bowlful on a center table to lend an earthy, Zen-like appeal, or piling them in a regular glass vase with water topped with a nice flower. Pebbles can also be used to substitute functional decorations at home. Some examples are candle holders, paper weights, and bookends. Pebbles can also be utilized as your own canvas. You can paint animals, landscapes, and portraits, or decoupage flowers on them!
2. Pebbles as Wall or Floor Details
Pebbles offer a great way to add texture to walls and floors. In this kitchen, the designer artfully used them along the curved island, breaking up the traditional limestone tile layout and highlighting the kitchen space. On a wall, a pebble border adds three-dimensional quality to an otherwise flat tile design. It also helps in tying together a neutral color scheme.
3. Pebbles in the Bathroom
Pebbles bring a relaxing, spa-like feel to bath spaces, and they work well with wood and other natural elements. Cover an entire vanity wall with pebble tiles to create a dramatic focal point. In the shower area, pebble tiles are an excellent choice for a slip-resistant floor. A plus is that they feel like a gentle massage on your bare feet.
4. Pebbles below the Stairs and along Paths
Placing pebbles just below the stairs can add beautiful color and textural contrast. This delivers an unexpected eye-catching accent to perk up quiet corners in your home. You can also layer pebbles along paths. The result will be a welcoming and visually pleasing space.
5. Pebbles as Pool Details
Pebbles work well with water features. As a lining for swimming pools, they create a spectacular landscape. Pebbles also create a natural, beach-like atmosphere and can be used to cover unsightly areas around the pool.
There are many ways to use pebbles in sprucing up your home. We hope these ideas inspire you!

The Death and Life of Great American Cities
Vintage Books, 1989 - Architecture - 458 pages
A direct and fundamentally optimistic indictment of the short-sightedness and intellectual arrogance that has characterized much of urban planning in this century, The Death and Life of Great American Cities has, since its first publication in 1961, become the standard against which all endeavors in that field are measured. In prose of outstanding immediacy, Jane Jacobs writes about what makes streets safe or unsafe; about what constitutes a neighborhood, and what function it serves within the larger organism of the city; about why some neighborhoods remain impoverished while others regenerate themselves. She writes about the salutary role of funeral parlors and tenement windows, the dangers of too much development money and too little diversity. Compassionate, bracingly indignant, and always keenly detailed, Jane Jacobs's monumental work provides an essential framework for assessing the vitality of all cities.

Jolt Finalist: Domain-Specific Languages, by Martin Fowler with Rebecca Parsons
Martin Fowler's Domain Specific Languages is a big book. Weighing in at over 600 pages, this book attempts to cover the broad field of domain specific languages (DSLs). Unlike other books that attempt to cover a broad field, there is a lot of code in this book.
DSLs receive considerable coverage today as an approach to bring computing closer to users. A DSL is a specialized language where someone familiar with a particular domain, or area of expertise, can create software by expressing computation using familiar terms. If you are new to DSLs or want to understand the mechanics of how to implement your own DSL this book is for you.
Fowler makes liberal use of examples to illustrate deep concepts. He organizes the book into six parts beginning with a survey of the DSL neighborhood and then proceeds into the technical details. A reader who wants to understand what a DSL is and what it is good for need only read part I to gain a conversational knowledge of DSLs. His example in the first chapter of a Gothic security system is entertaining and informative and sets the stage for the rest of the book. Part I leads the reader on a journey through DSL land that winds through different types of DSLs, alternatives to DSLs, and some engineering details on how to implement DSLs.
Fowler divides DSLs into two categories: internal and external. External DSLs use a programming language to create a different executable language. Internal DSLs use stylistic variants of a programming language to make it easier to create executable programs in that language. Three parts follow, containing the basic patterns one should understand when constructing either type of DSL. After Part I, the reader should understand the basics of how to create a DSL. However, the devil is in the details. These three sections provide those details. Fowler presents the details as patterns, with each chapter illustrating a single pattern.
Part II provides patterns needed for any type of DSL, including the all-important Semantic Model. Parts III and IV offer the patterns needed to construct external and internal DSLs. Readers familiar with language translation technology such as compilers will feel at home in Part III that focuses on external DSLs. External DSLs require more core computer science knowledge, such as parsing theory. Someone without an understanding of compilers should probably skip Part III on first reading.
The book does not use one specific language for its examples. In fact, Fowler uses common languages like Java, Ruby, and C# as well is widely available tools such as the ANTLR parser generators. Many readers will learn something about languages and tools that they have not experienced before as a side effect of reading this book.
The final parts of the book are relatively short. Part V presents alternative computational models, such as decision tables, production rule systems, and other models that into the DSL space. Part VI covers code generation. One might skip these two parts on the first reading.
This book omits details about engineering a DSL. If you want to understand how to organize a project and determine the process needed to engineer a DSL, you should refer to the ample body of software reuse literature. Domain Specific Languages does not address these issues, nor is that Fowler's intent. He is focusing on the nitty-gritty decisions and details and there are plenty of them that will help the software developer produce a robust DSL. If you are such a developer, get this book. Read it lightly at first and then refer to it often.

In August 2007 I was part of a small group including Andrew Breitbart, Jim Hoft, Jeff Emanuel, and Laurence Solov that met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in Netanyahu's Tel Aviv office. (Netanyahu was then head of the Likud Party in opposition to the Olmert government.) Our meeting had been arranged by Fern Oppenheim of America's Voices in Israel. Fern led our group and snapped a picture of us with Netanyahu as we prepared to leave his office. I don't think there was anyone in Israel with whom Fern would have been unable to get us at least a few minutes. We skipped the then current prime minister to meet up with the once and future prime minister.
At our meeting we talked mostly about the dangers of the Iranian regime acquiring a nuclear bomb. It was a subject to which Netanyahu had obviously devoted great thought. "This has to be stopped," Netanyahu concluded.
Iran was the true focus of Prime Minister Netanyahu's brilliant speech to the joint session of Congress yesterday. It would be a shame to overlook this thread of the speech because of the political context in which it was embedded. This is the heart of the speech: "Now, as for Israel, if history has taught the Jewish people anything, it is that we must take calls for our destruction seriously. We are a nation that rose from the ashes of the Holocaust. When we say Never again, we mean never again."
Netanyahu injected a personal note to respond to President Obama and others who lecture Israel on its need for peace:
[W]e want peace. Because we need peace.
Now, we've achieved historic peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan, and these have held up for decades.
I remember what it was like before we had peace. I was nearly killed in a firefight inside the Suez Canal — I mean that literally — inside the Suez Canal. I was going down to the bottom with a 40- pound pack — ammunition pack on my back, and somebody reached out to grab me. And they're still looking for the guy who did such a stupid thing.
I was nearly killed there.
And I remember battling terrorists along both banks of the Jordan.
Too many Israelis have lost loved ones, and I know their grief.
I lost my brother. So no one in Israel wants to return to those terrible days.
Netanyahu's older brother, Jonathan Netanyahu, was the commander of the elite Israeli army commando unit that conducted the incredible Entebbe rescue operation in 1976. He was killed in action during the operation at the age of 30.
Netanyahu's speech ended on a Janus-like grace note:
My friends, the momentous trials of the last century and the unfolding events of this century attest to the decisive role of the United States in defending peace and advancing freedom. Providence entrusted the United States to be the guardian of liberty. All people who cherish freedom owe a profound debt of gratitude to your great nation.
Among the most grateful nations is my nation, the people of Israel, who have fought for their liberty and survival against impossible odds in ancient and modern times alike.
I speak on behalf of the Jewish people and the Jewish state when I say to you, representatives of America, thank you.
Thank you. Thank you for your unwavering support for Israel. Thank you for ensuring that the flame of freedom burns bright throughout the world.
May God bless all of you, and may God forever bless the United States of America.
Among the many Churchillian elements of Netanyahu's speech, the hearfelt tribute to the United States is a key. It looks back, recognizing deeds done and sacrifices made. It also looks ahead, tacitly calling on the United States to resume its providential role in "the unfolding events of this century[.]"

Last night I attended my dear girlfriend's big Fabulous Forties birthday party at the Peninsula here in Shanghai. The theme was Bollywood Bling, which was actually a weekend long celebration with pre-party dinner and post-party spa day.
I've been excited about the event for weeks now, not only because it gives me a great excuse to dress up like a Bollywood star, but mostly because many of our oversea friends have flown in to attend.
And with the weather clearing up and a nice breeze on the patio of a penthouse suite on the Bund, it was a perfect evening (into late night) with lots of laughter, dancing and catching up with old friends!

I am an American girl who has seen Tim McGraw live 18 times and as traditional as they come. I do not, however, participate in baby showers. This ceremonial welcoming of a baby rarely treats birth with reverence. I believe women can - and should - birth naturally and breastfeed their babies. The American way of having babies is in crisis. This is an educational blog; exploring birth, breastfeeding, & attachment parenting. I am a Natural Childbirth Educator and this is my voice.

Storytime: System Fails VBACing Mom
Last spring I met a woman, Allison, at church who was pregnant with her third baby. She had had two previous c-sections and was going to have another because her doctor wouldn't do a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) after two c-sections. I told her that there were a handful of care providers who would do a VBAC for her in the area. I sent her some different names, links, and videos to check out. I was starting up a new class around that time and her and her husband, Jonathan, enrolled.
They started their "homework" immediately. They began interviewing midwives and other doctors. They hired a doula. She visited a chiropractor regularly. And Allison read like crazy. She became very informed. She truly prepared her body both mentally and physically for a VBAC.
They hired a doctor at a hospital that says they "allow" VBACs. The doctor admitted that not everyone in his practice would do it, but he would do his best to "protect" her. In the past, he has been at the births for my students and even encouraged them to eat, drink, and walk around. They felt good about their choice of doctor and comfortable with the hospital.
Her "due date" came and went, but they waited patiently for another 8 days. She visited with Hannah who worked on some acupressure points, took an herbal supplement from her chiropractor (said to put a woman in labor within a day or two), and she was in labor by the next day!
I was in contact with their doula, Nancy, throughout the evening. When they got to the hospital, Allison was dilated to about a 3 or 4 and 90% effaced. She had never really started labor on her own before, so this was so exciting! The doctor on call said that her doctor was not available and could not be reached, and after reviewing her chart, would not do a VBAC. Allison told her that she would not have a c-section at that point because everything was going fine. The doctor told her that she would either have a c-section "right now" or Allison would have to fire her. So, Allison fired the on-call doctor!
From that point, the doctor treated her very poorly and would not let her have the things she wanted, like a birth ball. The nurses were trying to help her, but the doctor made that nearly impossible. With all the questions, and needles, and stress, adrenaline took over, which is the opposite of oxytocin. Her contractions spaced out and got much less intense. They brought up the ER doctor, who concurred with the OB on call, that Allison should have a c-section. Her bedside manner was considerably better though she allowed Allison to negotiate terms for leaving the hospital without a c-section. If she was dilated less than e centimeters, she would not have her sign a paper that she was leaving Against Medical Advice (AMA). Miraculously, when the doctor checked her, she told her she was dilated 2 centimeters and was "paper thin."
So, they were "homeless." They didn't know where to go. Who would attend her birth with two c-sections under her belt, so to speak? They called a midwife that we all know and love, but without ever seeing her, the midwife didn't want to take that on. They called a well-known VBAC doctor in the area, but an hour from their home, and could not reach him. They simply drove home, with Allison in labor.
They spent days trying and wishing for labor to start, and now they were trying to get labor to stop! Allison's doctor would be back in the office the next afternoon, and this was midnight. Labor continued and got much stronger once they were out of the hospital.
As labor progressed, they made the very difficult decision to go to the hospital closest to their home, knowing they would have a c-section, no matter where they went. They wanted to have monitoring for both mom and baby and staying at home was no longer an option. When she got to the hospital, she was dilated 5 centimeters and 100% effaced. Baby was fine, mom was fine, and labor was normal. But because she had had two previous c-sections, she had a third.
Baby was about 9 1/2 pounds and very healthy. A wonderful nurser, too! They are so happy that they started labor on their own and that baby, and mom, had the benefits of labor. Her recovery has been the best of all the c-sections, and she feels that it is due, in part because of the chiropractic care she received and continues to receive.
She will reflect on this experience all her life. She did tell me that the pregnancy was better than what it would have been because she had hope -- hope for a vaginal birth. She prepared for a different experience, and while the outcome was not what she hoped for, she went through the pregnancy with a different attitude than she would have if she had just scheduled another c-section.
I have thought about this so much, and I don't know what she could have done differently. The whole experience was circumstantial. If her doctor would have been there, or one of the other doctors who support VBACs had been on call, would she have had a vaginal birth? Probably. This story illustrates the point that birth is often about policies and lawsuits, not about good health care. Allison had this c-section simply because the hospital, and the on-call doctor, had a no-VBAC policy.
The system is what failed Allison, not her body.

Oh that is such a sad sad sad turn of events!!! I'm glad she is seeing the positive side of things- that can only help the healing process.

That is what is most important for her to remember, it was the system that failed her. Not her body.
So sad, but so happy she is doing well, and baby is nursing good!

This is why women have unassisted births. I know somebody in the Dallas Area who recently had one after 2 c-sections. We also have to be open to home-birth and find home-birth midwifes who will support v-bac. They are out there- but you can't have a v-bac at an unsupportive hospital because one doctor might protect you. This is still the paternalistic bull s**t that leads to c-sections in the first place.
I feel for her. The system is wrong and it is next to impossible to have a v-bac right now- especially in Dallas- but it can happen.

This is where trust becomes the number one factor. Do you trust that because your doctor and hospital say they are VBAC-friendly, they mean it? Do we create an environment of mistrust when cases like this occur? I think the answer is obvious.
It is so unfortunate that women are backed into a corner by having their baby at home because they can't get someone to agree to a VBAC after more than one cesarean. I think Allison seriously considered it, but Jonathan was so uncomfortable with a homebirth -- so not blaming him for this outcome!! -- it just wasn't an option. They are such a lovely couple and she has immense respect for his feelings, she wouldn't choose something that he was so uncomfortable with.
I have no doubt that the reason he wanted her to birth in the hospital is because he loves her deeply. Yes, the risk is less than 1%, but we cannot ignore its existence either. They have two other children to raise. He just wanted everyone to be safe.
It will be interesting to see, down the road, if they decide to have anymore children. A lot of healing between now and then will be taking place...

I love my job!
I loved creative writing in high school. I should have realized it then, but I didn't. Having been a creative soul all my life, I felt the need for a creative outlet especially when I found myself in a very uncreative career...nursing. It put food on the table and allowed me to pay my rent when I was a single mom, but there were days I thought I'd explode if I didn't "make" something. A painting, a craft project, anything!
When I married my terrific husband, I switched to the night shift so I could take a screen writing course at the local state college during the day. I wrote a few romantic comedy screenplays that never saw a screen other than my computer monitor! But I learned lots! One thing I learned about myself was how happy creating stories made me. My husband saw it too.
When the opportunity to write full time presented itself (an inheritence) I made a deal with my hubby. If I paid off the mortgage, he'd pay the regular bills and we'd call it even. And I'd give my dream a shot. I knew my folks would want me to.
At first he saw it as a pipe dream. He gave me one year to get published. A year? I told him that was impossible and let him know what he could do with his year! Well, I set about doing the impossible anyway and went after it like a mad-woman. While writing the book of my heart, I adapted one of my more commercially viable screenplays to novel format. Guess what? One year to the weekend of his ultimatum, I received an offer! Woo Hoo! Take that, hubby! It was from an e-pub, but he never specified. LOL
Now he's on-board completely. In fact, he's one of my biggest fans. I wish I could celebrate my recent successes with my family of origin, but in lieu of that, I have extended family--cousins and one uncle. So, I'm celebrating with them. Tomorrow they're all coming to my home for a reunion. I can't wait to truck out my paperbacks and say, "See what I made?"

LOL, Ash, about being epubbed first and making the deadline! I love it! But you're right. Published is published! I'm like you and have to be doing something creative! That's what makes me feel self actualized! Have a great Labor Day weekend! :)ReplyDelete
Loved it, Ash!ReplyDelete
I understand about needing to make something. Although I had written forever, I didn't turn to it seriously--like not playing around, I'm going to make something--until I could no longer paint.
Congratulations on achieving the job of your dreams! A perfect way to celebrate Labor Day.
Why couldn't you paint anymore MM? I 'can't' either, but it's just because I feel blocked in that area and don't want to create something mediocre.ReplyDelete
Wow - publishing in a year is amazing! Good for you! Someday I would love to be writing full time too!ReplyDelete
Hmm... my mortgage is paid off, too, thanks to an inheritance, but my DH is such a nervous Nellie he can't even think about me giving up the nursing biz to write full time.ReplyDelete
When I actively started writing with an eye toward publishing, it took me two years. It might have come sooner, but SB wasn't publishing romance then!
a year. two years. I'm jealous. It took me 4 years. And I just went back to the day job after being unemployed for 2 years.ReplyDelete
I need an inheritance. :)
I love how supportive Hubs is, Ash! And I esp. love the one year! Good for you!!!
If anyone wants to pay off my mortgage, I'd appreciate it! How wonderful to be able to write full time. Actually, I do write full time, and work at a day job full time and occasionally catch an hour of sleep and do a load of laundry. I'd gladly give up the day job if I could afford it. You are living the dream, Ashlyn! Major congratulations!ReplyDelete
Ash, you are just so fortunate. But of course, he obviously knows great talent when he sees it. *wink* So, is he the hero in all your stories?ReplyDelete
My day job is the three kids special needs kids, always has been. I write around them and so far, it's working. I'd love to find out a long lost rich relative has left me enough to pay off the mortgage but I don't see that happening.ReplyDelete
Great story. I love loop holes. One year! It took me just under four years to get published, from the day I plopped my butt in the chair and typed the first word until Deb offered to buy my story. I write full time, thanks to a very supportive hubby, but our house is too small and we've spent way too much money, creating a financial strain. I've considered going back to work.ReplyDelete
I'm with you. I should've realized I was meant to be a writer long before I started writing.
All of you who were published in under 5 years are way ahead of the norm! I heard it's usually 5 years or more. (But that's traditional publishing.) If I were going by when I got my Sourcebooks contract, I'd be right on the money.ReplyDelete
Desiree, my hubby is absolutly my hero. I dedicated Strange Neighbors to him and said, "Yup, these great heroes are real, folks, and I'm so glad I got one.
Hey, I'm actually normal for a change! It took me about five years to get published once I started writing fiction, but I feel like I prepared for it all my life by reading so much and working in bookselling. I wish I'd caught on and started writing my own books a lot sooner. I agree about the creative urge - if you need to "make something," you have to do it or you're miserable!ReplyDelete
It took me 20 years after college to find the guts to try to write a novel. Deb bought that novel and two others (not yet written) about a year ago, and TASTE ME will be on the shelf early next spring.ReplyDelete
I dream of being able to write full time. Can't do it yet, alas!
It's so important to have the support of your significant other in this business, Ash. We are both lucky girls. :}ReplyDelete

Last Sunday, June 3, 2012, I visited Maker Faire Seoul, which took place in a media arts gallery in downtown Seoul. It was the first Maker Faire in Seoul and I think its organizers and participating makers should be very proud. I got to see my first Maker Faire outside of the US and I was really impressed by the variety of makers and their projects. I enjoyed seeing the number of families with kids in attendance. See my highlights in this video journal.
Here's Ji Sun Lee's Flickr photo set from Maker Faire Seoul. She took a photo of me during my talk on Monday night of the Faire.
Make: Korea is published by Hanbit Media and its team helped to organize Maker Faire Seoul. I believe Maker Faire is a catalyst that puts a number of things (and makers) in motion. We'll see what happens throughout the year leading up to next year's Faire.
