The creators started that divide with all their bashing against old Trek. "Not you father's Trek", those "Nacelles Monthly subscriber" remarks, the constant justifications for the fast paced style with "old Trek was lame and boring", and all that shit.
Sometimes I think some people here live in an alternate reality?
Or maybe it's just that I do.
When Bad Robot said "This is not your father's 'Star Trek'", they weren't dissing the old one. They were telling the new demographic that the new films would have something for them, as well as their Dads.
Yes, Orci & Kurtzman are self-proclaimed TNG fans, but they spent months reading TOS novels - and even made a list of the ones they loved ("Spock's World", "Final Frontier", "Best Destiny", "Ex Machina", etc), several of which became influential in their writing of the 2009 film.
And I don't recall any of the Bad Robot gang describing "old Trek" as "lame and boring".
JJ Abrams
explained that he found
disappointingly boring, because he was an enthusiastic little kid at the Smithsonian premiere and he was expecting a SF film just like the "Star Wars" film he'd seen two years earlier.
I was a ST newbie in 1980 and had just started substitute teaching in the years between TMP and ST II - and all the kids I tried to chat Star Trek with thought that TMP was boring. Most adult fans I met agreed with them.
So what other "bashing" did I miss, or misunderstand?
Thiptho lapth!

There are various points of contention in this year's Man Booker shortlist – age (five out of six are aged between 28 and 46), America (four out of six live over there), anti-establishmentarianism (all the "revered" men and women of letters have been stripped out, bar Anne Tyler). But the biggest, most interesting, controversy surely comes in the choice of one book which has divided the critics – it seems – like no other.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Freshman Kathleen Nash scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead Texas past Lamar 94-35 on Thursday night.
The Longhorns (No. 22 ESPN/USA Today, No. 21 AP) used their new, up-tempo offense under first-year coach Gail Goestenkors to build a 51-15 lead by halftime against the Lady Cardinals.
Texas (2-0) was dominant in the low post, scoring 54 points in the paint.
Erneisha Bailey, Aubry Cook and Rachel Rentschler each scored 13 points for the Longhorns.
With the loss of standout forward Tiffany Jackson to the WNBA, the Longhorns have had more balance in their scoring in their first two games. Five players have reached double-digits in both games.
Ashley Lindsey paced Texas' defense with six blocks and Texas scored 25 points off Lamar's 25 turnovers. The Longhorns outrebounded Lamar 51-31 and scored 28 fast-break points.
Brittney Williams led Lamar (1-2) with 12 points.
Texas next plays at No. 1 Tennessee on Sunday. The Lady Vols have beaten the Longhorns by scores of 102-61 and 67-46 in the past two seasons.

Even after 2,000 years no career has been so disputed or spetacular as that of Alexander the Great. In June 323 B.C. when he died in Babylon aged 32, his empire comprised more than 2 million square miles. He had conquered Greece, Egypt, and the Persian Empire in Asia and fought his way east to the fooohills of the Himalayas and the deserts of thePunjab. He founded eighteen new cities and was remembered in legend from Iceland to China. He was an explorer, a romantic, and a lover of Homer, of wine and music, of women and boys. A Colossus among men, Alexander of Macedon could well justify his claim of descent from Zeus himself.

the New Almaden Quicksilver County
Park Association
(NAQCPA) website. Our purpose is to promote the educational and
interpretive activities of the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation
Department, particularly in Almaden Quicksilver County Park. See below
for information about NAQCPA, our past and present activities, and how
you can join or help with the park. Also below is information about
Almaden Quicksilver County Park, maps, trail descriptions, and park
events. See the links on the side for related websites.
There was a NAQCPA meeting at the New Almaden Community Club on May 13, 2015 at 7 pm. County Parks staff member Julie Lee came to discuss the use of the Casa Grande for events. She talked about noise issues from these events and is looking for community feedback. If you have concerns, contact Julie at the Casa Grande at (408) 323-1107.
National River Cleanup Day was on Saturday May 16, 2015 from 9 am to 12 pm. It was held at multiple locations, including the Hacienda entrance at Almaden Quicksilver. See May 16 on the event calendar below for details. Here are pictures from the event.
NAQCPA members are working on the Bell Tower at the Hacienda entrance to the park. It will hold an historic bell that was used in New Almaden. The new tower is based on the design of the old tower. The second floor walls were pre-assembled at the Casa Grande and were placed on top of the first story. The first picture above shows how it looked on 9/9/15. The sign on the tower shows a picture of the original tower (below) and informs the public that it is not a pay station. The second picture shows the bell house being assembled on 9/25/15. The bottom picture shows the bell house being placed on top of the tower on 10/7/15. The bell can now be rung. Finishing touches--siding, window, and door--will be added later. The bell tower will be dedicated at Pioneer Day on October 10. If you would like to help with the tower construction, contact Kitty Monahan (see the NAQCPA newsletters below). See this Facebook album for pictures of the tower construction.
The new restroom at the Hacienda entrance has been completed and is now open. There is a high-tech drinking fountain there, with a filtered water dispenser and dog-watering dish. (Picture taken 5/13/15.)
This is a picture of the original Hacienda bell tower, taken in 1960, from the museum archives (see below).
Ron Horii entered this picture of the Casa Grande, taken on 3/28/15, in the Visual San Jose Historic Photo Contest. It won first place in the non-professional category. Awards were given in a ceremony at Southern Lumber on 6/16/15, which was the last event at Southern Lumber before it closed. The picture appeared in newspaper and magazine articles about the contest, such as issue 7.2 of Content Magazine, the Summer 2015 issue of PACSJ's Continuity magazine, and the June 19, 2015 issue of Almaden Resident newspaper. The picture will eventually be on display at the Casa Grande.
The County Parks Department has an ad campaign called "Nature is Nearby." They have billboards all over San Jose showing different County Parks. Most are within a half hour's drive from the billboard location. The driving time is shown. This is the billboard on Almaden Quicksilver. It's on Monterey Road just south of Metcalf Road and just before the Metcalf Energy Center power plant. It uses Ron Horii's picture of the view from the end of the Catherine Tunnel Trail. (Picture taken 7/5/15.)
There was a presentation at the Casa Grande on 7/30/15 on mountain lions and bobcats. Park Interpreter Chris Carson Seals (above) was one of the presenters, along with Natural Resources Manager Don Rocha. After giving a slideshow presentation, they showed artifacts, like the ones above. Coincidentally, earler on the same day, a mountain lion was spotted at the corner of Hicks Road and Alamitos Road by Almaden Reservoir. It was seen by NAQCPA members and park staff, including Ann Laverty, who took the picture below:
This warning sign about mountain lions was at the Mockingbird Hill Lane entrance on 8/11/15.
Some neighbors in the Almaden Valley around Webb Canyon have expressed concerns about a proposed 41-foot T-Mobile cellphone monople antenna to be installed next to the water tank above the Webb Canyon entrance to Almaden Quicksilver That area is adjacent to, but outside the park. It's listed under City of San Jose Plan SP15-006. There was a community meeting to discuss it on 8/10/15. According to city planners, the community was in acceptance of the plan, though some members wanted more trees planted to act as a visual barrier. The project is still under review.
There are pianos in the County Parks. Above is a piano at Hellyer County Park. There is one at the Hacienda entrance to Almaden Quicksilver County Park. The Parks Department has partnered with Sunset Piano to place pianos in 5 parks for their "Bach to Nature - Pianos in the Parks" month-long event. The pianos are in Vasona, Stevens Creek, Hellyer, Anderson, and Almaden Quicksilver and will be there until Oct 5. This is what the Parks Department says about the piano in Quicksilver: "Almaden Quicksilver houses the most beautiful piano, near the Hacienda trail entrance. This dramatic location beneath the multi-armed tree provides stunning views of the golden hills, lets the sound soar with the eagles, and provides the background music for a leisurely equestrian ride. Dramatic shading creates a feeling of being in an old Speakeasy where all are welcome to share a story, a song, a smile, a hope. Already a historic gem, this location will last in your memory forever." Here are pictures of the pianos in the parks.
This year's New Almaden Day and Jump-In Parade was held on Saturday, September 12, 2015. The parade started at 11:00 am at the New Almaden Community Center and circled around New Almaden on Bertram Road and Almaden Road. Anyone could jump in and join the parade. Above are the Minions and Grue. Afterwards, there was a celebration carnival and BBQ lunch at the Community Center. This year's grand Marshall was Ron Horii.
There was a service day on 9/11/15. 3 volunteers from EMC showed up, along with docent Ron Horii, and helped park maintenance with landscaping work at the Casa Grande. They moved 10 cubic yards of redwood mulch to replace water-thirsty grass.
This is where the 10 cubic yards of redwood bark mulch went to, replacing grass. The volunteers delivered the mulch. Park maintenance workers removed the grass, spread out the mulch, and planted trees.
0n 9/25/15, park docents Joan Murphy (left) and Mike Boulland (right) gave a bat and ghost tour of New Almaden. They started with a slideshow in the Casa Grande, then walked around New Almaden. Joan talked about bats and pointed out where bats roosted. Mike pointed out historic sites and told ghost stories. Here he is at the Hacienda Cemetery. There are more ghost tours scheduled on 10/29 and 10/30 (see the events schedule below).

It re-opened on January 14, 2011. The museum is open-year round Fridays through Tuesdays except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. The museum is closed Wednesdays and Thursdays. You can reach the museum at (408) 323-1107. It is located at 21350 Almaden Road in New Almaden. These are the hours:
Many NAQCPA members serve as docents in the museum, giving guided tours. There are frequent events at the Casa Grande, such as Living History Days, Play Like a Miner, a yuletide bazaar, and historical talks. See the events calendar below. The grounds are also available for rent for special occasions, such as weddings, parties, and company picnics.
See Ron Horii's picture and description of the Casa Grande for the Visual San Jose 2015 Photo Contest.

Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum Gift Shop
The Casa Grande has a bookstore and gift shop. It is decorated with historic portraits. For sale are books on history, minerals, flowers, wildlife, and children's activities. They also have maps, nature guides, colorful rocks, jewelry, educational toys, and artwork. Some of the publications available in the store were written by NAQCPA members.
These portraits of the New Almaden Mine managers were painted by local artist Gilian Altieri

The Archives of the New Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum are now online. NAQCPA members have been helping to scan in thousands of historical documents and pictures into the archive. The archives are available for searching and viewing. You can search for specific topics using keywords or just display random images to get a sample of the collection. You can order high-resolution images without watermarks. Here is an example of an historic photo from the archives:
This is a more recent picture from the archives, taken in 1952. The Casa Grande and its grounds were used for a resort called Club Almaden. There was a swimming pool in back.
Hacienda Mining Display Outdoor Museum
Displays at the Hacienda Outdoor Museum
For years, there was an unorganized collection of rusting mining equipment sitting behind a fence in the Hacienda area of Almaden Quicksilver near the Deep Gulch Trail entrance. Above is how it looked in 2008.
NAQCPA members, led by Bruce Bartlett (above), organized, repaired, and re-arranged the equipment and added other mining equipment. They had interpretive signs made, paid for the fencing, and created life-size figures.
Pioneer Days
Pioneer Day 2014, Rossi Retort Dedication
For over 32 years, NAQCPA has held their annual Pioneer Day celebration in Almaden Quicksilver County Park, in partnership with the County Parks Department. The original purpose of Pioneer Day was to be a get-together to share stories with former New Almaden miners and people who remembered the mines. While that is still the case, it has also been associated with the dedication of historic sites, interpretive signs, or projects in the park. Most of these were NAQCPA projects, or NAQCPA members were involved with them. Pioneer Day for 2015 will be held on October 10 at 11:00 am at the Hacienda entrance to the park and will dedicate the bell tower (see above).
New Almaden Days
The Santa clara County Horsemen's Association at the Jump-In Parade, 9/13/14
For more than 34 years, the community of New Almaden has held their New Almaden Day community celebration, kicked off by the Jump-In parade. It's an informal parade around the town, where anyone can jump in and join. Afterwards, there is a carnival held at the New Almaden Community Center, featuring games, prizes, food, and entertainment. This year's New Almaden Day and Jump-In Parade will be held on Saturday September 12, 2015, starting at 11:00 am at the New Almaden Community Center.

Accurate in a narrow sense
Michael McCaul
More money is dedicated within the Department of Homeland Security to climate change than what's spent combating "Islamist terrorists radicalizing over the Internet in the United States of America."
Revenue grew, but profits fell
Carly Fiorina
"We doubled the size of the company (Hewlett-Packard)."
The number is close, but the meaning's less clear
"The U.S. representatives that voted to keep militarizing the police received 73 percent more campaign money from the defense industry" than the representatives who voted to stop it.
A genuine American innovation
Hillary Clinton
"The United States invented the community college. Nobody else had ever done anything like it."
Almost unprecedented historically
Barack Obama
Says Loretta Lynch's nomination "has been now sitting there longer than the previous seven attorney general nominees combined."
The 1% is raking in the recovery
Bernie Sanders
"99 percent of all new income today (is) going to the top 1 percent."
Different ways to count, but very close
Rick Santorum
"Ninety percent of American workers don't own their own business."
Estimates suggest Obama overstated Iran's spending
"Iran's defense budget is $30 billion. Our defense budget is closer to $600 billion."
A credible estimate says so
The Affordable Care Act is "a major reason why we've seen 50,000 fewer preventable patient deaths in hospitals."
If you have a 401k, you'll feel richer
Jim Webb
"The stock market has almost tripled since April of 2009."
Reasonably accurate summation
Mitch McConnell
Says Secretary of State John Kerry, "when he was a senator, flew to Managua and met with a communist dictator there, Daniel Ortega, and accused the Reagan administration of engaging in terrorism."
Senators' letter to Iran has a point, but lacks nuance
Tom Cotton
If President Barack Obama strikes a nuclear deal with Iran, "the next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time."
A persistent and somewhat puzzling drop
"You had more women getting computer sciences degrees in the '80s by a factor of 2-plus than you do now."
Obama said it. Just not 22 times
John Boehner
On immigration, "the president said 22 times, 22 times, that he couldn't do what he eventually did."
CDC survey backs him up
"Nearly one in five women in America has been a victim of rape or attempted rape."
It has to pass through the Iraqi government
Ted Cruz
"The Obama administration is refusing to directly arm the Kurds."
Data is a bit fuzzy, but a safe estimate
Jeb Bush
"Millions of people have given up looking for work altogether."
Mostly depressing
"The No. 1 cause of childhood deaths is preventable accidents."
U.S. is tops in generation, but not capacity
"America is No. 1 in wind power."
Yes, using the most common measure
"Our unemployment rate is now lower than it was before the financial crisis."

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.

I know Juan Urango thrashed Randall pretty badly not long ago and Alexander ktfo outa Urango but one thing for sure, Devon better watch out and not take this dude lightly at all or else he will look like mike jones or worse. But, if devon fights like a champion and performs like he did against maidana then he shouldn't have too much of a problem getting late KO or wide UD.

Excuse me for dragging another forum over here, but I was mentioning muscle tone and definition, or the lack there of on Chavez Jr. Don't tell me old Randal Bailey (that is sarcasm not an opinion) isn't "cut" much better. Training does it, train hard more cuts, stop training and it goes away. No cuts on Jr's pictures.

If he knocks out Devon Alexander it would be one of the greatest comebacks in boxing. Some real Rocky ****. Twelve years after losing his title, he come back by winning a world title and knocking out one of the biggest American fighters.

Water author speaks at CF

Author Cynthia Barnett says the solution to Florida's dwindling water supply goes beyond less lawn irrigation or shorter showers; it requires a water ethic and a new way of thinking about the disappearing resource.

Bill Belleville, an award-winning author and documentary maker, will be the featured speaker at a program sponsored by the Friends of the Ocala Library at 2 p.m. Sunday at Marion County Public Library, 2720 E. Silver Springs Blvd. His latest book is "Salvaging the Real Florida." Program is free. (368-4591 or friendsoftheocalalibrary.org)
Barnett kicked off her Florida book tour on Tuesday, talking about "Blue Revolution: Unmaking America's Water Crisis," at the College of Central Florida. A crowd of 150 attended the event, which also featured a question-and-answer period.
Barnett, who also wrote the 2007 award winning "Mirage: Florida and the Vanishing Water of the Eastern U.S.," said her latest book was written for ordinary citizens to get the word out about water shortage, possible solutions and the need for leaders and the public to create water-use guidelines.
"If we Southerners knew as much about how our forbearers altered rivers and wetlands as we do about the Civil War, we'd have great appreciation for the natural waters that are left," Barnett told the audience.
She said much of the problem is that governments and utilities reroute and dam water to create the illusion that there's water to spare, when in fact springs are disappearing and groundwater tables are shrinking.
"That is our illusion of water abundance," she said.
"The … resulting ethos has helped lead us to insufficient supplies, unsustainable consumption of energy to move water around, financially unstable utilities and other problems," she said.
Each community is unique, Barnett said, "but one solution stands out above these others. It is the cheapest. It is the easiest. It fulfills our obligation to the future. This is the embrace of a water ethic."
But defining the state's water ethic is a challenge. One definition: to make the protection of freshwater ecosystems a central goal of all that we do, Barnett said, citing another author.
"Yet it's clear that protecting freshwater … is not central in all we do," Barnett said.
That's because most people don't understand where there water comes from, who is in charge of it or what it costs to send it through their taps, she said. Citing "Blue Revolution," Barnett gave examples of how communities facing droughts have cut per capita water use by half and have political leadership "ultra-focused on water."
A similar national focus has worked in the past, Barnett said, citing the country's anti-litter campaign, which began in the 1970s. In 1969, half of Americans said they littered. Following a national anti-litter marketing scheme, that dropped to 15 percent in 2009. The decline was mostly due to a community-wide judgment about cleanliness, she said, not penalties.
The solution no longer rests with water professionals, but every citizen and his or her ability to change behavior, pressure others, and elect leaders who have the same water conservation goals.
"Water managers are no longer enough. Environmentalists are no longer enough," she said.
Amanda Concha-Holmes, a University of Florida researcher who attended the event, said Barnett's examples and photos helped the presentation and made it understandable for the general public.
Concha-Holmes also said Barnett's book shouldn't be the end of a discussion; rather, it should inspire more education about, and attention to, water shortage solutions.
