I haven't built SBCL with the change, but I can tell a story from porting your type system changes to CMUCL: If I remember the circumstances right, I had to rewrite the simplify union/intersection part, because I couldn't bootstrap the structures used in the type system (yeah, yeah, I know :) in exactly the way SBCL has them, but the rewrite used vectors like SBCL.

Top 5 weird royal wedding foods (plus 1 bonus oddity!)
For those of you living under a rock, you may be surprised to learn that, this weekend, England's Prince William will marry and the world will have a new princess.
For most people who do not spend the majority of their free time watching reruns of Say Yes to the Dress, weddings of people we don't know that well are good for one thing and one thing only: food!
And so the Hot Dish presents some of the more, um, interesting stories about dishes, drinks, and desserts that wedding-crazy Anglophiles from around the globe have whipped up in honor of Will and Kate.
We've already told you about Papa John's royal wedding-themed
trainwreck pizza, but they are not the only fast-food giants wading into the madness.
Dunkin' Donuts- Heart-Shaped Donut
Dunkin' Donuts has designed this cute little jelly-filled heart as its contribution to the festivities. As you can see, the filling is blood red, which almost pushes this one into "creepy" territory.
Castle Rock Brewery's Kiss Me Kate Beer
Not to be outdone, rival British brewer Castle Rock Brewery has released its pale ale crafted to commemorate the occasion, Kiss Me Kate. The cartoon couple on the bottle are irrefutable proof that this is an elegant and tasteful keepsake that one could pass down to one's grandchildren as a family heirloom.
"Kate Middleton" Jellybean
This is most assuredly the strangest of all the royal wedding food-related stories on the web. A young man in England bought a large tin of jellybeans to share with his girlfriend. When the young lady opened the tin, there on top was this magical simulacrum of the future Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton. The couple did the only thing that any sane reasonable person could do: They put the charmed candy up for bid on Ebay.

Reviews for Working Partnerships Usa
2 people found this review helpful
There are plenty of worthy charity organizations that raise funds to provide a specific service to the community. Food, shelter, health care, etc. - these non-profits deserve our support as we cope with the day-to-day needs of families struggling to make ends meet.
As we support these organizations, it's important that we not lose sight of the bigger challenge of resolving the tough issues that impact working families. That takes an organization with a capacity for research, analysis and public policy development, an organization with deep roots in the community, and an organization not afraid to stand up to powerful interests.
In Silicon Valley, that organization is Working Partnerships USA. No other local group has a better track record when it comes to developing and advocating for solutions that impact the working poor of this region. From healthcare for low-income kids to affordable housing, Working Partnerships has been a champion for innovative public policy and civic engagement.
As a community, we need to ensure that kids have enough to eat today, and that families have a place to stay the night. But we also have a obligation to come together and solve these issues. We can do both, but only with organizations like Working Partnership USA.

Don't ask Dodgers catcher Russell Martin to pin down the moment his swing came off the rails. He can't.
"Spring training felt pretty good, but then I don't know what happened," he says. "It's was hard finding a groove and a rhythm, and when I had it, it just seemed like it didn't last very long."
While the Dodgers have seen young talent like Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier mature into stars, their 26-year-old fourth-year catcher -- already a Gold Glove winner in 2007 and twice an All-Star (2007, '08) -- is in the final stretch of a disastrous season with the bat, a virtual lock to set career lows in nearly every major statistical category.
Martin's problems actually began during the second half of 2008, as his numbers dropped and he struggled to drive the ball. This year, he didn't hit his first home run until June 20 and entered the All-Star break with only 12 extra-base hits, 15 fewer than at the same point a year earlier. Nor has the productivity of his first two and a half seasons returned in the second half. Martin will enter the final week of the season with a .681 OPS, good for 146th in the majors among qualified hitters.
It was a fall substantial enough that Martin fielded questions about steroid use from the Los Angeles Times.
Dodgers hitting coach Don Mattingly suspects the power drought played havoc with Martin's mechanics, as he began losing his identity as a line-drive, gap-to-gap hitter in an effort to quickly put up sexier numbers. "After a while you start trying to get [a home run] on the board," Mattingly says. "I really think he got into some bad habits along that path. He started spinning out, and it's really caused him problems all year."
Martin believes an offseason training program designed to shed weight and make him more athletic also robbed him of strength. It's not unreasonable to believe efforts to compensate have hurt his swing as well.
Whatever the reason, for Dodgers fans, the lack of patience and discipline common in young players feels jarring in reference to Martin, who arrived in L.A. seemingly complete with the polish of a 10-year veteran, both on the field and while interacting with media. He quickly became the pre-Manny Ramirez face of a franchise that badly needed one. Growing pains? Not part of the equation. Unfortunately, the same production that made him enormously popular around town also created expectations that have, at least this season, proved difficult to meet.
Manager Joe Torre believes Martin's failure to meet his own high standards left him searching for faster fixes at the plate for his slump than the game naturally allows. But Torre is also quick to note that while Martin's fall from offensive grace may be the dominant public narrative of his season, it's only half the story. After a 2008 season in which Torre and others in the organization felt Martin's defensive work fell short of expectations, this year Martin has bounced back admirably. Bad as he's been with the stick, he's been that good behind the dish.
Aided by the arrival of 16-year veteran Brad Ausmus, Martin has not only cleaned up his on-field fundamentals, but more importantly intensified and improved his efforts in preparation and scouting, leading to a better game plan against opposing hitters. "It's about getting better structure and consistency, translating information into a plan and building confidence with my pitchers," Martin says. "There's not much glamour in that, but it has a big impact on whether we win or we lose."
Martin's work handling the staff has helped L.A. to a 3.40 ERA, by far baseball's best, particularly impressive considering the Dodgers have operated much of the season with a well-publicized lack of a traditional ace and a bullpen reliant on previously unknown quantities like Ramon Troncoso and Ronald Belisario.
His importance hasn't been lost on teammates. Ausmus says Martin's contributions behind the plate outweigh anything he can do offensively. Says veteran utility man Doug Mientkiewicz: "We're not in first place if he's not catching every day."
Martin hopes a strong postseason run with the stick will repair much of this season's wreckage and quiet those who wonder if his first two and a half seasons were a mirage. "April doesn't matter in October. Or May, or June, or July. That's the mindset for me. Everything that's happened in the past, it doesn't matter. Today matters. Tomorrow matters," Martin says.
In the end, Martin's season, while clearly disappointing in many aspects, illustrates the relative nature of value. "If somebody wants to look back and start criticizing what I did," he says, "that's fine. I just want to win today." Whether that criticism comes depends largely on what aspects of Martin's game are most valued in the context of this Dodgers team.
And a World Series, L.A.'s first in over 20 years, wouldn't hurt.

Short review: This site calls for all erections that enjoy the act of filling mouths with their girth and faces with their loads. Nice foreplay leads to the hardcore action and they even include with some of the sets a cum shot slow motion play. You want the reality of the spit – and they supply it. The Dick Suckers was a nice site from the beginning to the ball blowing end.
Content Amount: The count was high through the tour promises, but I'm thinking they were counting each episode? But the numbers are nice enough to keep you glued to the goodness here and updates are done each week with more hungry honeys.
Content Quality: They kept the standards high all the way through for the quality of this site. The navigation was simple, the layout of all material was organized professionally, the videos were one format, but different choices of size and there are caps and posed shots

The London Naval Conference: an American View
IN the year 1929 there were two impelling reasons for opening negotiations aimed at the further limitation of naval armaments. The Washington Treaty[i] had provided for a holiday until 1931 in the construction of capital ships. Thus when Mr. Hoover became President in March 1929 he knew that within a short time he would have to face the question of building battleships. The treaty had authorized the United States to lay down fifteen new battleships of 35,000 tons' displacement between 1931 and 1939. It had authorized Great Britain to do the same. It had authorized Japan to lay down nine battleships. If the cost of one of these ships be estimated at fifty million dollars there was here the prospect of an expenditure of three quarters of a billion dollars on the part of the United States, and of nearly two billions by the three Powers combined. The common sense of the civilians fortified by the increasing skepticism of naval men abroad as to the value of battleships revolted against this destructive expenditure. It was evident that steps would have to be taken before 1931 to avert it.
An even more impelling reason for opening negotiations was presented by the situation in respect to cruisers, destroyers and submarines. They had not been regulated under the Washington Treaty. Beginning in 1924 a race of armaments had developed in these classes and after the failure of the Geneva Conference of 1927 the race had become a dangerous disturbance to the peace of the world.

Hot answers tagged badges
I updated several aspects of the app in response to user feedback: Error handling is somewhat better (it will now tell you if your token is invalid, instead of a generic "error" alert) Queued API calls are aborted now, which should speed up site changing, among other things. There's now an option to deauthorize the app, should you decide to revoke its ...
I'm declining this, not because I don't see the merit in it, but because we don't have the data to return in anything approaching a reasonable time. Our badge awarding code is very complex, and intentionally run in staggered (and even, in some cases, random) schedule to prevent DOS-ing our own databases. Opening those queries up via an API would be ...
Here's what I see after the page briefly populates:
Could you add progress towards the Enlightened and Guru badges for answers too? These would list accepted answers that have scores close to 10 and 40 respectively (with the Enlightened candidates limited to first answers only), as well as list not-yet-accepted answers where the score (and "first answer") criteria have been met and would qualify for just ...
No, this information is not currently available in the current versions of the API. It may be added in a subsequent release, it's a little finicky as many badges have no associated posts (or aren't linked to a single post).
feature-request Please add progress towards tag badges, like c#.
/badges returns every badge in the system, building a lookup based on id is trivial and costs a single request.
Before StackApps, there was a small group of people privately testing the API. After some time, StackApps was created and everyone was notified so that they could move their content there. A handful of people who had actively participated were hand-selected to receive badges. The badge was awarded as soon as the user registered on the site.
Just found it myself, in a comment on Chacha102s answer to What's with the reputation here on Stack Apps? Jeff states: people who built (and shared) actual apps with the API in private beta qualified for beta gold. people who got at least one upvote qualified for beta silver As this information has not been exactly easy to uncover I'll keep this posts ...
This should be fixed now.
The API (once it's version 1.0*, anyway) won't change. You're concerns are unwarranted. Just sum the gold, silver, and bronze badges counts you get from /users/{id}. *And with 0.9 being a release candidate, there almost certainly won't be any changes in badges of all things before 1.0
Running a query on Programmers after running one on Stack Overflow carries over a tag score from SO. I have no points on Programmers for C# Reauthenticating and running the Programmers query a second time seems to correct this.
On Code Review we have people getting the Generalist Badge, but the app says we only have 38 tags that qualify, could you do some updating of that for us please?
This seems to have been silently/magically fixed in the last 7 months (Date of Nicos Karalis' comment). Descriptions seem correct now. I had verified that they weren't correct when I upvoted this question on Apr 29 '14. Side note: It's not documented, but apparently tag-based badges are not listed unless they have been awarded at least once. Take a ...
Could the Sportsmanship badge be tracked with this application? I know data.SE can't, but an authorized app like this might be able to access more data? (As you can see, I don't really know anything about stack app development. I very much like your app, though, thanks for that!)
The page does not seem to work in Opera 12.10. I get the following error in the error console: [2012-11-28 11.48.45] JavaScript - http://agent86ix.github.com/stackapps/badge/ Event thread: message Uncaught exception: TypeError: Cannot convert 'bodyinject' to object Error thrown at line 1757, column 2 in injectcode(): bodyinject.appendChild(message); ...
Remember the existence of /badges/recipients, which does not take any badge ids. For that method, simply returning users would be essentially useless; /badges/{ids}/recipients returns the same type in-keeping with the /something/{ids}/tail pattern. Also note that if you pass multiple badge ids you need the badge data to distinguish who earned which badge ...
This will be fixed with the next deploy.
A config thing in the GUI to set your ID would be nice. And as far as packaging goes, why not upload to KDE-Apps.org so we can grab it with Get Hot New Stuff on the Plasmoid picker? EDIT: I tried putting in my ID for ubuntu.stackexchange.com into lib/settings.py and s/stackoverflow/ubuntu.stackexchange/ on lib/stacktray.py but the text hover only ever ...
Has this been packaged anywhere? I know from the information above it says get it from git, but just wondered if it has been updated?
This has been fixed.

Hello, I tried the Atahualpa SEO options and enabled the "use page/post options" option by choosing yes from the dropdown. This changed the article editing area a bit and I got options for entering meta data. I published the artice and the header looked like "This is my", it should look like "This is my header which I made for that post". As you see, its cut somewhere. I remember it was like this in the new area which appeared after I enabled "use page/post options", but its even cut after I disabled the option and republished the article.
What am I doing wrong? How do I change it back?
