Granby Farmers Market: Fresh sounds, fresh produce
News | August 1, 2008

Sky-Hi Daily News
The doctor is in and patrons are encouraged to sit down and make themselves comfortable during this Friday's Farmer's Market in Granby. Acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter Jeremy Dion, who is also a psychotherapist, is set to play a variety of progressive folk and rock during the event's First Friday Frenzy.
As shoppers stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables today, they will be treated to a free performance by Dion, starting at 4 p.m. Dion just finished his debut record "Finally" (released last week) and there is a sharp new Web site to let people know about it (www.jeremydion.com). This first solo album includes poetic vocal harmonies and a 99-year-old mandolin, as well as world-class musicians such as Grammy winner David Grier.
"The songs are intensely personal to me and to have them treated with such reverence has felt like a sacred rite of passage," Dion said.
Dion taught himself to play the guitar in college, listening to the likes of favorite songwriters Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, and bluegrass legend Doc Watson. Other favorite songwriters include Patty Griffin, Glen Phillips and Darrell Scott.
He began to write his first originals and it was then that he began dreaming of making a living as a musician. An avid reader (mostly novels), Dion said he is inspired by writers like David James Duncan, Tom Robbins and Khaled Hosseini.
While in school he earned a master's degree in music therapy, as well as psychotherapy, and for some time aimed to incorporate the two into his private practice in Frisco. In the end, he felt he'd prefer to keep his "soul's expression relegated to other venues rather than in my office."
Dion was featured at the Fraser Rocky Mountain Roastery this past winter with the Really Serious String Band, and said playing in Grand County is "Absolutely blissful."
He was named one of the "artists to watch in 2008" by award-winning producer Lance Bendiksen (who helped him put out "Finally").
Each Farmer's Market highlights a free childrens' booth, lemonade stand and homegrown and homemade items from a variety of vendors that include Morales Farms Inc., Cold Springs Greenhouse, Our World Bakery, Hungry Mother Organics, JR's Grill, The American and European Kitchen, Styria Catering, the Hot Sulphur Springs Soap Company and Sweet Pea Produce. Members of the Grand Community Gardens are also on hand to share gardening tips and answer questions. As part of First Friday Frenzy, today's market also features a beer and wine tent.
"Doowop Dennie" Foley is set to play during the next First Friday Frenzy on Sept. 5. Event sponsors include Legacy Building Specialties, the local US and Grand Mountain banks, the Java Lava Cafe, Mountain Parks Electric, Shadow Mountain Chiropractic, SaniKing, Daven Haven Backstreet Steakhouse, Title Company of the Rockies and the Sky-Hi Daily News. Dion's performance is sponsored by the Greater Granby Area Chamber of Commerce and US Bank.

Q: constructor overloading between template specialized classes In the following code I have a class template and its specialization.
template<size_t U>
struct Foo
{
    Foo(double(&u)[U]) : u{ u } {}
    double(&u)[U];
};

template<>
struct Foo<1>
{
    double &u;
    bool specialized = true;
    Foo(double &u) : u{ u } {}
};

If I attempt to create an instance with deduced template arguments, then the constructor arguments will only be matched against the generic Foo object.
double s[7] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };
Foo f(s); // will deduce s is of type Foo<7>

double t = 5.;
Foo g(t); // no instance matches the argument list!
Foo<1> g(t); // I must explicitly tell it I'm using the specialization

Of course, if the specialized class had the same constructor parameters, and I did something like Foo g(t) where t is type double[1], the instance would be of the specialized type.
So, how come the specialized constructor is also not resolved (or otherwise part of the set of constructors) in this case?

A: Only primary template is considered for Implicitly-generated deduction guides, but you can add deduction guide yourself:
Foo(double &u) -> Foo<1>;

Demo
Notice also that
double t[1] = {5.};
Foo g(t); // deduce Foo<1>, but fails as specialization doesn't have compatible constructor

How to Watch LA Galaxy vs. LAFC
Can Galaxy make it two El Trafico wins in a row?
By Alicia Rodriguez Sep 6, 2020, 6:43am PDT
Share All sharing options for: How to Watch LA Galaxy vs. LAFC
The LA Galaxy will look to maintain their perfect run in the latest phase of the 2020 MLS regular season, and the game doesn't get much bigger than this, when they host LAFC at Dignity Health Sports Park Sunday night in El Trafico.
Times are good for the Galaxy, suddenly, as they've won three in a row, most recently a good-and-then-nervy 3-2 win over the Portland Timbers Wednesday in Portland. Truthfully, LA were lucky that one of the Timbers' goals was called back for offside, but so it goes sometimes. The likes of Cristian Pavon and Sebastian Lletget are on fire, and another youngster's star turn, this time by Efrain Alvarez, means the Homegrowns have suddenly started contributing in major ways as a growing collective.
LAFC have had a bumpier re-restart. Of course they were bad against the Galaxy a couple weeks ago, and they followed it up with a loss against the Seattle Sounders where the performance wasn't much better. They did, however, get back on track Wednesday when they hosted the San Jose Earthquakes, who they blasted 5-1 at home. So which version of LAFC will turn up for this game? We'll see.
Jonathan dos Santos is nearing a return to starting, while Chicharito has been ruled out by Guillermo Barros Schelotto for this game. For LAFC, Carlos Vela is out after the injury he suffered against the Galaxy last time out, and Eduard Atuesta remains out as well.
So, will the Galaxy make it two in a row over the noisy neighbors? Will LAFC cramp the Galaxy's free-flowing style? Here's an El Trafico where both teams will have spirits up, and it should be another cracker.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, as of Thursday evening, LA are (+245) while LAFC are (-115). The odds of a draw are (+320), so the bookmakers still aren't believing in the Galaxy, as they've put LAFC huge favorites, even at DHSP. We'll see...
Sunday's match between LA and LAFC will be televised locally on Spectrum Sportsnet and YouTube TV, and nationally on UniMás and TUDN, which you can watch on FuboTV. The broadcast is scheduled to start at 7:30 pm PT with kickoff to follow.

According to Romans 8:28-30, the order of salvation is first, the foreknowledge of God; second, the predestination of God; third, the calling of God; fourth, the justification of God; and fifth, the glorification of God. Many get this backwards and fight with all their intellectual might against how God saves men. There is a reason why men fight against God's order of salvation – they seek to remove salvation from God's doing and place the responsibility in man's hand so that there will be no injustice in God for His saving some and not saving all.
This however is unbiblical and unnecessary. There is no injustice in God even though salvation is completely of the Lord. We must remember that all men are born with a sin nature; all men grow up to be sinners; and all men are responsible for their own destruction. So God is just in the destruction of sinners. We must also remember that no sinner deserves to be saved and that in the saving of any sinner God is just. Any sinner that God saves He does so only on the basis of His grace through penal-substitution so that He is both just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus (Romans 3:23-26).
Be sure to get this: God is just in the destruction of sinners and He is just in the salvation of sinners. Can you find any injustice in that?
All five aspects of the order of salvation combine to give us the sound doctrine of the security of the believer. But before we establish that doctrine, let me ask you to consider this question: why must there be a divine order to salvation? The answer is because without it no sinner would ever be willing to forsake his sin and embrace and love God. Think about it! God has demonstrated His own love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). What capital offender in his right mind would refuse such a gracious offer? The answer: every single one left to himself!
This shows the devastating consequence of sin on man's mind, heart, and will and that apart from the sovereign choice of God to have mercy on whom He wills no man would be saved (Romans 9:16). But for these on whom God has chosen to have mercy, they will be saved and their salvation will be secure.
Not only has God chosen by His foreknowledge sinners that would otherwise never have chosen Him, He has also predestined them to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29). God's ultimate purpose for bringing sinners to salvation is to glorify His Son. Those that are saved are God's gift to His Son for His Son's obedience to Him. These love and obey the Lord Jesus Christ and become His own special possession or treasure (Titus 2:14). Jesus categorically stated that "all that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out" (John 6:37). He went on to say, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws Him", and, "No one can come to Me unless it has been granted Him from the Father" (John 6:44, 65).
"And these whom He predestined, He also called" – While God chooses according to His foreknowledge, no man is saved apart from being drawn to Christ by the Father through the Word of God and the sanctifying work of the Spirit. In other words, God has a means by which He arrives at the end. Men must respond in faith to Christ through the Gospel. This is how God calls. This is why we evangelize and tell others the Gospel of Christ. God will not fail to call those whom He has predestined to become conformed to the image of Christ based on His sovereign foreknowledge.
"And these whom He called, He also justified" – Here is where faith comes into the order of salvation. Faith is wrapped up in the call – faith comes by hearing (the call) and hearing (the call) by the word about Christ (Romans 10:17). We are justified by faith (Romans 3:26-28) in the redemptive work of Christ (Romans 3:24) and that faith is generated in us by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit through the call of God on those whom He has predestined and foreknown. If faith is generated in us and doesn't originate in us then of necessity God's foreknowledge isn't based on Him seeing something in us that isn't there. You can't get out of something what isn't in it.
"And these whom He justified, He also glorified" – Our glorification is spoken of in the past tense although it hasn't happened yet. This means that God calls the things that do not exist as though they exist (Romans 4:17) so that the promise of our glorification is guaranteed. After having been justified it is impossible not to be glorified or else God is a liar and He cannot lie for He is truth and there is no lie in Him. You cannot get out of something what isn't in it.
The glorification of the ones whom God has foreknown, predestined, called, and justified is God's guarantee. Now you will understand that if God is for you, who can be against you. And you will also understand that nothing in all creation can thwart the salvation that God has granted to an undeserving sinner.

Q: Система плагинов Захотелось научиться работать с отражением и вот этим всем.
Начал с простенького, решил написать подключаемый плагин, который автоматически подгрузится из именной папки.
Что бы не мучиться с отражением методов и прочей нечистью на ум конечно же приходит наследование и полиморфизм.
То есть мне нужен какой-то базовый класс с начальным функционалом от которого будут наследоваться все другие плагины.
То есть нужно сделать отдельную библиотеку с апи, которую будут использовать обе стороны (программа и плагин).
public interface IPlugin
{
    void Loaded();
}

Вот такой класс придумал в этой библиотеке.
Теперь я могу спокойно ее подключать к плагину и наследоваться.
public class Test : IPlugin
{
    #region Implementation of IPlugin

    public void Loaded() => Console.WriteLine( "Hello World" );

    #endregion
}

Вот у меня уже две библиотеки, одна с моим апи, другая его использует.
Теперь мне нужно как-то загрузить сборку с плагином и использовать его методы.
Вот тут мне и нужна помощь.
Так как библиотека плагина использует другую библиотеку с апи, я не смогу ее так просто загрузить, так как выскочит ошибка мол либе не хватает референсов. Как правильно загрузить плагин указав что сборка которая ему нужна уже загружена в программу?
Вот код которым я пытаюсь что-то наколдовать:
private static void Main ( string[] args )
    {
        var pluginsPath = $"{Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()}\\Plugins";
        var files = Directory.GetFiles( pluginsPath , "*.dll" );

        foreach ( var file in files )
        {
            Console.WriteLine( $"Trying load: {file}" );
            Assembly assembly;

            try { assembly = Assembly.Load( file ); }
            catch ( Exception ex )
            {
                Console.WriteLine( ex.Message );
                continue;
            }

            var types =
                assembly.GetTypes().Where( type => type.IsClass && type.GetInterface( nameof( IPlugin ) ) != null );

            foreach ( var type in types )
            {
                var plugin = Activator.CreateInstance( type ) as IPlugin;

                if ( plugin == null )
                {
                    Console.WriteLine( "Null" );
                    continue;
                }

                plugin.Loaded();
            }
        }
    }

Падает еще на первом try с сообщением:

Необработанное исключение типа "System.IO.FileLoadException" в mscorlib.dll
  Дополнительные сведения: Не удалось загрузить файл или сборку "C:\Users\anweledig\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\Anweledig\ConsoleApplication\bin\Debug\Plugins\TestPlugin.dll" либо одну из их зависимостей. Данное имя сборки или база кода недействительны. (Исключение из HRESULT: 0x80131047)

A: Вы можете просто загрузить другую библиотеку. Все ее зависимости будут автоматически загружены.
Проблема может быть только в случае, если библиотека лежит не в той же папке, в которой лежит ваше приложение, и вы при этом загружаете ее через Assembly.LoadFrom. Чтобы это обойти, вам нужно указать рантайму что зависимости надо искать в папке плагина, а не в папке вашего приложения. Тогда можно будет использовать обычный Assembly.Load и заодно заработает станадартный механизм загрузки сборок.
Для этого можно использовать создание аппдомена с указанием AppDomainSetup.ApplicationBase
Т.е. схема примерно такая:
У вас есть базовая dll для плагинов - MyApp.SDK, в ней базовый класс (а лучше - интерфейс):
public abstract class Plugin
{
    public abstract void Loaded();
    public abstract void Unload();
}

в ней же код загрузки и вызова плагина (для простоты)
public static class PluginInvoker
{
    public static void InvokePlugin()
    {
        var pluginAssembly = Assembly.Load("SomePlugin");
        var pluginType = pluginAssembly.GetTypes().Where(t => typeof(Plugin).IsAssignableFrom(t)).Single();
        Plugin plugin = (Plugin)pluginType.GetConstructor(new Type[0]).Invoke(null);
        plugin.Loaded();
    }
}

есть реализация этого плагина в SomePlugin.dll:
public class Test: MyApp.SDK.Plugin
{
    public override void Loaded()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Loaded");
    }

    public override void Unload()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Unloaded");
    }
}

в SomePlugin есть референс на MyApp.SDK.
И есть главное приложение, в котором есть ссылка на MyApp.SDK, но нет ссылки на SomePlugin:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    AppDomainSetup setup = new AppDomainSetup();
    setup.ApplicationBase = @"C:\Projects\MyApp\SomePlugin\bin\Debug\";

    AppDomain pluginDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("plugin", null, setup);
    pluginDomain.DoCallBack(PluginInvoker.InvokePlugin);
}

ApplicationBase задает папку, откуда AppDomain будет загружать сборки - т.к. это папка плагина, то все, на что он ссылается, будет корректно загружено.
Если плагины подгружаются из подпапки приложения (например, из Plugins), то в вместо AppDomainSetup.ApplicationBase можно использовать AppDomainSetup.PrivateBinPath.
Если же при этом плагины вообще не планируется выгружать, и все плагины лежат в одной папке (без подпапок на каждый из плагинов) - то можно обойтись без отдельного AppDomain, просто дописав путь к папке с плагинами в секцию app.config/<probing>.

Q: Having the ExecuteNonQuery : connection property has not been initialized I'm trying to delete an entry from my database. But when the ExecuteNonQuery has to do it's job it can't find the enabled connection and give me this error :

System.InvalidOperationException :'ExecuteNonQuery : connection property has not been initialized'

Here is what I did :
    Dim delete As New OleDbCommand
    Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter
    Dim ds As DataSet
    Dim dt As DataTable

    initConnectionDtb(pathDtb)
    openConnection()

    If TextBox2.Text <> "" Then
        delete.CommandText = "delete FROM USERS WHERE NAME = '" & TextBox2.Text & "'"
        delete.CommandType = CommandType.Text
        delete.ExecuteNonQuery()
        MsgBox("USER HAS BEEN DELETED")
    Else
        MsgBox("ERROR")
    End If

I could check if it was properly connected to the Database thanks to connectionName.State
I also enterily rewrote the connetion to the database in the function but ExecuteNonQuery still couldn't connect even though the connection was opened
I saw that i'm not the only one on this website but none of the previous answers have helped me.

A: @Filburt pointed out, how are you assigning your connection to your command object.  Here is an example :
Using connection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(connectionString)
        connection.Open()
        Dim command As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(queryString, connection)
        command.ExecuteNonQuery()
    End Using

In your code, you need to assign the connection object to your command object.  We can't see what code you have in initConnectionDtb(pathDtb) or  openConnection()
To adapt this to your code:
delete.Connection = <<your connection object here>>
    delete.CommandText = "delete FROM USERS WHERE NAME = '" & TextBox2.Text & "'"
    delete.CommandType = CommandType.Text
    delete.ExecuteNonQuery()

Another note: look into parameterizing your query strings instead of hand stringing the values.  This will prevent issues with TextBox2.Text having a value like O'Toole which will cause a syntax error as well as SQL Injection.

A: Here's what i used to initialize my connection :
    Public Function initConnectionDtb(ByVal path As String) As Boolean
    initConnectionDtb = True
    Connection = New OleDbConnection
    Try
        Connection.ConnectionString = "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;" & "data source= " & path & ";"
    Catch ex As Exception
        Return False
    End Try
End Function

Public Function openConnection() As Boolean
    openConnection = True
    Try
        Connection.Open()
        MsgBox(Connection.State) 'to test if my connection really openned in my previous post
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
        Return False
    End Try
End Function

Public Sub closeConnection()
    If Not IsNothing(Connection) Then
        If Connection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
            Connection.Close()
        End If
        MsgBox(Connection.State)

        Connection.Dispose()
        Connection = Nothing
    End If
End Sub

So far it worked for everything i tried (adding someone to the database for exemple)


Written by Evert Pruis on 29 October 2015 .
Just a few days ago I got the wonderful news that my proposal to help create a talent philosophy at a Dutch multinational has been accepted. When we were talking about the scope of my assignment the VP HR came up with this lovely description: a talent philosophy. One of my deliverables will be to describe two scenarios for an integrated talent approach to talent management: one for the near term and a future scenario. In the future I foresee a far more data-driven talent approach. A prime enabler will be the integration of Enterprise Resource Planning systems, like SAP, with Learning Management Systems, such as SuccesFactors.
When an ERP system and an LMS become integrated, I see talent surrounded by a cloud of data.
Experiences gained and jobs, assignments, projects, programs undertaken. Lessons learned and courses followed. Skills sharpened and competencies gained. Performance achieved and potential shown. All these data-items and more will form a mesmerising and living cloud of big data on both learning and performing. Its intended use is to accurately match and map talent to opportunity, both in terms of jobs and roles in projects, programs and short term assignments.
Ideal right? I agree. In a multinational this will be the only way to glimpse the talent landscape across countries, regions and divisions. It will free talent, or at least its data, from the limits of local oversight and the potential this holds for strategic talent management is simply huge.
But is does this pretty picture paint the entire landscape? Of that I'm not so sure. We at ROI on Talent are driven by the belief that more than 60% of talents in organisations remain latent, undiscovered, untapped and therefore under-utilised. However powerful an integrated HR system may be: if we don't solve this puzzle, we'll end up wasting talent, opportunity and, in the end, money.
What we do know however from our own experience, is that leaders, managers and colleagues are able tap into this untapped 'talent pool' by eveloping their capacity to spot and flourish their own talents and those of their team-mates. When we augment the digital talent landscape by strengthening this organisation-wide capacity to spot and flourish people, we'll have pained a truly wonderful vista. This is something we aspire to: do you?

Interventions for hidradenitis suppurativa
Published:7th Oct 2015
Author: Ingram JR, Woo PN, Chua SL, Ormerod AD, Desai N, Kai AC et al.
Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
Ref.:Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2015;(10):CD010081
DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD010081.pub2
Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by recurrent painful boils in flexural sites, such as the axillae and groin, that affects about 1% of the population, with onset in early adulthood.
Objectives: To assess the effects of interventions for HS in people of all ages.
Search methods: We searched the following databases up to 13 August 2015: the Cochrane Skin Group Specialised Register, CENTRAL in the Cochrane Library (Issue 7, 2015), MEDLINE (from 1946), EMBASE (from 1974), and LILACS (from 1982). We also searched five trials registers and handsearched the conference proceedings of eight dermatology meetings. We checked the reference lists of included and excluded studies for further references to relevant trials.
Selection criteria: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of all interventions for hidradenitis suppurativa.
Data collection and analysis: Two review authors independently assessed study eligibility and methodological quality and performed data extraction. Our primary outcomes were quality of life, measured by a validated dermatology-specific scale, and adverse effects of the interventions.
Main results: Twelve trials, with 615 participants, met our inclusion criteria. The median number of participants in each trial was 27, and median trial duration was 16 weeks. The included studies were conducted over a 32-year time period, from 1983 to 2015. A single RCT that was underpowered to detect clinically meaningful differences investigated most interventions.There were four trials of anti-TNF-α (tumour necrosis factor-alpha) therapies, which included etanercept, infliximab, and adalimumab. Adalimumab 40 mg weekly improved the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score in participants with moderate to severe HS by 4.0 points relative to placebo (95% confidence interval (CI) -6.5 to -1.5 points), an effect size approximately equal to the DLQI minimal clinically important difference. We reduced the evidence quality to 'moderate' because the effect size was based on the results of only one study. In a meta-analysis of two studies with 124 participants, standard dose adalimumab 40 mg every other week was ineffective compared with placebo (moderate quality evidence). In a smaller study of 38 participants, of whom only 33 provided efficacy data, infliximab 5 mg/kg treatment improved DLQI by 8.4 DLQI points after eight weeks. Etanercept 50 mg twice weekly was well tolerated but ineffective.In a RCT of 200 participants, no difference was found in surgical complications (week one: risk ratio (RR) 0.78, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.05, moderate quality evidence) or risk of recurrence (after three months: RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.34, moderate quality evidence) in those randomised to receive a gentamicin-collagen sponge prior to primary closure compared with primary closure alone.RCTs of other interventions, including topical clindamycin 1% solution; oral tetracycline; oral ethinylestradiol 50 mcg with either cyproterone acetate 50 mg or norgestrel 500 mcg; intense pulsed light; neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser; methylene blue gel photodynamic therapy; and staphage lysate, were relatively small studies, preventing firm conclusions due to imprecision.
Authors' conclusions: Many knowledge gaps exist in RCT evidence for HS. Moderate quality evidence exists for adalimumab, which improves DLQI score when 40 mg is given weekly, twice the standard psoriasis dose. However, the 95% confidence interval includes an effect size of only 1.5 DLQI points, which may not be clinically relevant, and the safety profile of weekly dosing has not been fully established. Infliximab also improves quality of life, based on moderate quality evidence.More RCTs are needed in most areas of HS care, particularly oral treatments and the type and timing of surgical procedures. Outcomes should be validated, ideally, including a minimal clinically important difference for HS.

and Content Note
Original and copy letters by
or concerning Winfield Scott. Includes his "Note on the Trial of
Captain Winfield Scott… (November 28, 1839)," and correspondence with
Charles Davies, Andrew Jackson, Charles King, Benjamin Watkins Leigh, William
Erigena Robinson, James Ross, and William A. Whitehead. Winfield Scott, in
addition to his important role in national politics and military affairs, was
once a resident of Elizabeth and a member of The New Jersey Historical Society.
Gift (in part) of Alice R.
Allan, 1942.
Winfield Scott, the son of Ann Mason and
William Scott, was born in 1786 in Petersburg, Virginia. He entered the United
States Army in 1807 and was commissioned as a captain in 1808. In 1809,
while a captain in the army, Scott was suspended for a year for "behaving
with contempt or disrespect towards his commanding officer." During
the War of 1812, he became a brigadier general and fought along the Niagara
River at the battles of Fort George, Queenston Heights, and Lundy's
Lane. After the War of 1812, Scott left the army and, in 1817, married
Maria D. Mayo with whom he had seven children. He returned to active duty
in 1832 to participate in the Blackhawk War (1831-1832) and later in the
Seminole Wars (1835-1842). The Whig Party nominated Scott as their
presidential candidate in 1840 and, in 1841, he was appointed General-in-Chief
of the United States Army. The Whig Party again nominated Scott as their
presidential candidate in 1844 and after losing that election, he led the
American forces in their attack on Mexico from 1846-1848. In 1852, the
Whig Party nominated Scott as President of the United States for the last time,
and again, he was defeated, this time by Franklin Pierce. Winfield Scott
continued to serve his nation in the first year of the Civil War, but resigned
in November 1861. He died in 1866 at West Point, New York.

and Content Note:
The collection consists of the papers of
Winfield Scott, dating from 1823-1849. Most of the collection consists of
correspondence between Winfield Scott and Professor Charles Davies in which the
two, mainly Scott, discuss politics. There is also correspondence with a
number of other notables including: President Andrew Jackson, Honorable James
Monroe, and Honorable James Cooper. The collection includes Scott's
letter to The New Jersey Historical Society regarding his payment of dues, a
letter from E. W. Johnston to Charles King, the pay roll for Winfield Scott's
light artillery company in 1809, and notes on Scott's trial for "behaving
with contempt or disrespect toward his commanding officer." It is not
clear who wrote these notes, although it is likely that Winfield Scott did not
write them.

Yet, if you walk into some bike stores (and, in all probability, if you open up your toolbox) you'll likely find plenty of cheaper, lower grade tools that are just making do and haven't really changed for a few decades — despite the fact that your bike certainly has. It's worth bearing in mind that high-end bikes are delicate pieces of engineering.
Damage to components may very well be the user's fault, but it's just as likely a result of poor tool design and tolerances. If you've ever stripped a rotor bolt, rounded a stem bolt or marred a hub cone then you'll have felt the impotent fury this can cause.
This .06mm is just a hair's difference, but use each of the two extreme examples in the same bolt and you'll feel an obvious change in grip and movement, and likely see the undersized version cut into the edges of the bolt before it begins to turn.
Perhaps the most surprising measurement is that of the PB Swiss hex wrench. These are seen in many pros' toolboxes and are often thought of as the very best — but while they're super strong and very nice looking, they don't, on this showing at least, fit as snugly as Bondhus items that cost ¼ as much.
When working with press-fit items, such as bearings and bearing cups, always take your time. It's often easiest to do one side at a time, using the opposite face as a guide for the press. If it's not aligned from the start, try it again — never assume it'll 'come right'.

Ten years — time for a change
Every spring brings new milestones. In the last month, I published the first issue of Juiced.GS's 25th volume. I published the 100th episode of my Polygamer podcast. Sabriel and I concluded another season of our Transporter Lock podcast. And this week, Apple II Bits turns ten years old.
Can I stop counting yet?

When Apple II Bits turned nine, I wondered if my energy and focus would support this blog beyond its tenth birthday. Now that we're here, I find I have the same passion for the Apple II and a wealth of topics to blog about now as I did then. But other changes, I could not have anticipated.
First, at KansasFest 2019, I received news that eventually led me to become a digital nomad. I now move to a different city every few months with whatever I can fit in my Prius — which doesn't include an Apple II. What it does include are new challenges that encourage me to be creative and reflective. How do I decide where to go next? How do I choose what to bring with me? What's off the beaten path? These are all unique questions that I'm excited to be discovering the answers to answering.
Many of those experiences and discoveries are shared on my digital nomad blog, Roadbits. I've been publishing stories about life on the road three times a week. These posts are directly relevant to my own life and are of interest to my friends, family, co-workers, and others interested in remote work. Before the first post ever went up, Roadbits had more subscribers than Apple II Bits accrued in a decade.
It's also a different kind of writing from what I'm used to: more personal and introspective. Without easy access to an Apple II, I often rely on sharing second-hand news that I found elsewhere. With Roadbits, I'm writing about what has been or will be directly applicable to my life, and what it means.
The second big change in the last year is coronavirus. The pandemic has threatened the wellbeing, economies, and routines of everyone I know. While the threat of COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on my nomadic itinerary, the more noticeable daily impact is on my mental health. The recent Onion story "Man Not Sure Why He Thought Most Psychologically Taxing Situation Of His Life Would Be The Thing To Make Him Productive" rings very true.
Me last week: "If I'm going to be quarantined, I may as well work on some of those projects I've been putting off!"
Me this week: "It's hard to feel motivated to do anything when I'm fatigued from constantly being in crisis mode."

Although nomading and self-isolation have both given me more free time, coronavirus has created a higher "activation barrier", requiring more enthusiasm for me to accomplish something. And right now, new and exciting projects are more motivating than doing something routine.
Roadbits is new and exciting — but so is finding new ways for me to support the Apple II. Mark Simonsen of Beagle Bros once called himself a "serial entrepreneur": he starts or purchases new businesses, builds them up, and then sells them. Like him, I get a rush out of new projects. That's why I'm currently in the process of acquiring, repairing, redesigning, or resurrecting four different Apple II websites you've all heard of. Some of these efforts are one-and-done; if I do my job well, then you'll never know I had a hand in it. Others will be noticeable surprises with visible bylines. It's too soon to say which will come to fruition.
What does this mean for Apple II Bits? Nine years ago, friend and fellow Apple II user Sarah W lent me the book Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes, in which the author proposed an interesting model. Instead of viewing events in a chronological order from beginning to ending, we should consider the opposite: one thing must end before another thing can begin. While we may grieve the passing of an era, we can also welcome the reclaimed time and energy it brings us, and the new purpose we can give ourselves.
To that end, today is the end of my weekly commitment to Apple II Bits. I came to this decision a month ago, which is when I realized I still had a lot of personal stories left to tell and little time in which to tell them: the truth of Maxster. Beta-testing Wolfenstein 3D. My vanity license plate. Knowing today's deadline was looming gave me the incentive to finally tell these tales.
The good news is that this is not my last post! I have still more Apple II stories to tell, and I would do myself a disservice to cut myself off from this outlet. But from now on, I'm going to blog only when I have something to say and nowhere else to say it. (Some of those projects I'm working on may change the latter half of that equation.)
If you follow Apple II Bits, thank you — I hope you'll continue to do so. If you want regular new Apple II content, please subscribe to Juiced.GS.

Whichever road you take — Apple II Forever!
Apple II Bits' ninth–and penultimate?–year
It's a week of milestones: yesterday, I concluded the second season of my Transporter Lock podcast; this Friday, I finish my eighth semester of teaching; and today, April 29, marks exactly nine years since the launch of this blog.
And then there were nine.
Every Monday since 2010, I've shared something about the Apple II. Sometimes it's an anecdote from my own life that I somehow had never put in writing before, as with last week's tale about Rocky's Boots. Other posts look at the Apple II's influence on modern media, such as the state of Oregon's tourism marketing. Still others are commentary on current Apple II events, such as 4am's archiving efforts. Whether the source is my memory, my experiences, or my Google Alerts, I'm never wanting for content.
What I am sometimes wanting for is time and energy. Back in 2012, I found myself dealing with too many commitments and family health issues that all contributed to the possibility of burnout. I've been approaching that edge again lately: a weekly blog, two podcasts, a teaching position, and more start to add up. While some of those commitments are over as of this week, I expect my time to soon be filled with cycling and getting a dog, neither of which are small undertakings.
That's nothing new, though, and I've always managed to juggle everything before. What's different is how taxing a year I've had, with three family funerals, a scary surgery, and other personal challenges. Some artists and therapists recommend journaling, and to the degree that Apple II Bits is a regular, creative outlet, it does bring me some relief. But it requires active energy and output — something that, as of January 2018, I now give to my day job, which is demanding and fulfilling in ways I've never experienced. Add all that up, and sometimes I just want to relax without having something to show for it when I'm done.
But I'm not ready to call it quits! Apple II Bits will continue for at least another year, for several reasons. First, the blog is in easy reach of one decade of publication — perhaps an arbitrary milestone, but one that I'd nonetheless be proud of. Second, Apple II Bits is often where articles are inspired or workshopped for Juiced.GS, a magazine that itself is nearing a milestone: 2020 will mark its 25th year in print. Now is not the time to kill a source of content that would make that landmark achievable.
Finally, I'm aware that dedication can ebb and flow, and you don't give up just because you're in a temporary lull. Once the days and my bike rides are longer, and last year's hardships have faded further into memory, I suspect I'll be gladder for the regularity of Apple II Bits. If I'm not, then I can reassess after hitting that ten-year mark.
I've had a lot of variables in my life, and very few constants. Apple II Bits is one of the latter. Someday, one of those variables may supplant it — but not today.
In the meantime, enjoy this annual roundup of statistics and analytics about the blog.
Apple II Bits' octal birthday
This past weekend, I set up my Apple IIGS in my game room and connected it to my HDTV. I popped in some floppies and played a few classic games: Choplifter, Lode Runner, Karateka, and Conan. Each was as fun as I remembered.
The excuse for this occasion was research for a Juiced.GS article. As editor of that publication, most of my contributions and responsibilities don't require me to work on the metal, but this particular article called for the real thing.
But underpinning this academic exercise was unbridled enthusiasm for returning to my roots. I spend my days on a laptop with macOS and WordPress, all environments that I very much enjoy and which even inspire a degree of devotion. But nothing brings a smile to my face like the Apple II.
It was fitting that this game session coincided with the eighth anniversary of Apple II Bits: on April 29, 2010, I published my first blog post to this site. I've continued to write about the Apple II every Monday since. Whereas once such musings would constitute my quarterly "A Word or ][" column for Juiced.GS, I've now written 524 such columns for this website — enough to sustain 125 years of Juiced.GS.
Eight apple bits = one apple byte?
I'm never wanting for something to say about the Apple II, but some times are easier than others. One August, freshly home from KansasFest, I found myself bursting with ideas and wrote the next several months' worth of columns in advance. Other times, I come home from work on Monday night, knowing what to say but having only until midnight to say it.
Regardless of the volume or urgency, there's always a new chapter to write. Whenever Steve Wozniak is a speaker somewhere, he's introduced as the inventor of the Apple II. Anytime a "top games of all time" list is compiled, an Apple II game makes an appearance. And wherever Raspberry Pi and Arduino hacking occurs, it's often to connect Apple II equipment to modern environments.
I've always said of Juiced.GS that the magazine will publish as long as there are stories to tell, writers to tell them, and subscribers to read them. With Apple II Bits, I need only one of those three criteria: stories to tell.
At this rate, another eight years seems assured.
Apple II Bits' seven-year itch
April 24th, 2017 10:00 AM
The seven-year itch isn't just a classic Marilyn Monroe film; it's also a predictor for the shelf life of my own hobbies. It's after that period of time that I tend to find myself growing weary of a particular pursuit and begin looking for new interests. For seven years, 1997–2004, I wrote video game reviews; 2001–2008, I performed in community theater; 2004–2011, I taught at a high school or worked toward a master's degree, each satisfying my desire to be involved in education.
But I find the Apple II bucks this trend. This summer will make my twentieth consecutive KansasFest; this year makes my eleventh volume of Juiced.GS. And this month marks my seventh year of writing this weekly blog. I don't see myself discontinuing any of these pastimes anytime soon.
Each year kinda snuck up on me.
What is it about the Apple II computer and community that manages to hold my interest? Perhaps it's the nostalgia factor, dating back to my childhood in a way that writing, acting, and teaching do not. Maybe it's that it serves as a safe space in which to develop new talents — it was editing Juiced.GS that put me on the path to getting a master's degree in publishing, and Open Apple was where I honed the skills for my two current podcasts. It could be that, despite the discontinued nature of the Apple II, it continues to produce remarkably unique experiences: every KansasFest attracts a new crowd with whom to form new bonds and new memories.
While all those factors are true, perhaps the most compelling reason is the continued challenge. I lose interest in something when I find I can't get any better at it — not to say I've mastered it, but that I've reached the limits of my own ability to excel. After writing three hundred video game reviews, the process had become rote and formulaic; after 28 community theater productions, I no longer worried about forgetting my lines, any more than I believed myself capable of achieving a starring role.
But every issue of Juiced.GS is like none other, both in assembling the content and in marketing the publication. I've tried many new ideas to grow the magazine — some worked, some didn't. But the result is a net gain, with the subscriber base having quintupled in the last eleven years, and the magazine on the cusp of publishing its one thousandth piece of editorial content.
I have abandoned many hobbies after seven years. I don't have a fear of commitment; I have a fear of complacency. And the one place I don't have to worry about growing complacent is, ironically, the community and creations surrounding a 40-year-old computer.
So happy 40th birthday to the Apple II, and happy 7th birthday to Apple II Bits. Forget the seven-year itch — this is just the seventh-inning stretch!
Here's to many more.
The Apple IIGS turns 30
September 26th, 2016 8:56 AM
by Ken Gagne Filed under Hacks & mods;
September 15, 2016, marked the 30th anniversary of the release of the Apple IIGS, the last model of Apple II to be developed and produced by Apple Computer Inc. Released two years after the introduction of the Macintosh, the IIGS was the only 16-bit Apple II, offering an entirely new operating system and suite of software.
Happy 30th to the Apple IIɢs!
I was 9 years old when we got our first Apple IIGS. I'd already been weaned on a steady diet of Apple IIe software, from VisiCalc and AppleWriter to Castle Wolfenstein and Choplifter — so that's how we used the Apple IIGS: as an accelerated Apple IIe. It wasn't until I started plundering the games library of the Apple II Users Forum on CompuServe that I started exploring what the Apple IIGS was uniquely capable of. With advice from Scott Everts and Loren Damewood, we invested in some hardware upgrades from Quality Computers that made the Apple IIGS a far more powerful machine than the IIe we once owned.
It wasn't long before my gaming hours were being spent on Bouncin' Ferno, Milestones 2000, Copy Killers, DuelTris, Floortiles, GShisen, and Xenocide. For telecommunications, I moved from ProTERM to Spectrum and its infinitely scriptable environment, where I crafted many chatroom games for CompuServe and GEnie. This budding podcaster got his start manipulating people's voices in AudioZap. And for word processing — well, I stuck with AppleWorks, of course. But for the most part, I never looked back once I "upgraded" to the ultimate Apple II.
Yet today, it seems the vast majority of today's retrocomputing programmers are developing 8-bit software. Quinn Dunk is hacking the Apple IIc Plus ROM, Martin Haye and company are building the world of Lawless Legends, French Touch is crafting 8-bit demos… the quantity and quality of Apple II software seems to dwarf releases for the Apple IIGS.
I can think of two reasons why this may be true. Given its late arrival and relatively limited number of models, the Apple IIGS was never as popular as its predecessors nor as likely to be someone's first Apple II. Thirty years ago, there were more 8-bit users than there were 16-bit users, and the two communities have experienced attrition proportionately. And with more secondhand 8-bit Apple II computers available, it's more likely to be the gateway for new community members than the Apple IIGS is.
The second reason is that the 8-bit Apple II offers a greater programming challenge than the Apple IIGS, in that constraints breed creativity. Although the Apple IIGS has more software and hardware resources at its disposal, it's more of a challenge and an accomplishment to create a cool program when you have only 48 kilobytes of RAM and not 4.25 megabytes.
It's similar to what Eric Shepherd said at KansasFest 2013: the Apple is finite and capable of being entirely grokked by a single developer. That's more true for the Apple II than it is for the IIGS.
The IIGS is the youngest Apple II, just as for many years, I was the youngest of the Apple II community. It'll always hold a special place in my heart. Now I'm curious to know why you think this technically superior machine doesn't hold that place in the hearts of more Apple II users. Share your theories in the comment belows or on Facebook or Twitter!
Get your kicks in year six of Apple II Bits
The best course I took in grad school was Jeff Seglin's column-writing class. The opening exercise was to go to the local bookstore, choose several magazines, and draft pitches for articles to each. Early in the semester, I found this assignment challenging — but when we revisited it a few months later, the ideas flowed. I'm not sure what potential Seglin tapped, but he somehow got me seeing stories everywhere. Since then, I've rarely been short of ideas for Apple II Bits, Juiced.GS, Polygamer, or The Moth.
KansasFest 2015 really got those creative juices flowing, though again, I can't pinpoint the inspirational moment. All I know is, when I got back from that annual convention, Apple II Bits blog posts were flowing fast and furious, until I had up to two months of weekly columns queued in advance. It was a great relief to be able to table that Sunday night scurry for an idea.
I sometimes wonder when I'll run out of ideas and have to stop writing this blog altogether. But with all the activity of the Apple II community to inspire me, and with Seglin having given me the tools to recognize the stories therein, I don't think it'll be a lack of ideas that will be as challenging as finding the time and energy to keep up with it all.
In the meantime, I've made it six years of writing Apple II Bits, with the first post having gone live on April 29, 2010. I wrote two posts a week for the first two years — 104 posts a year! — and once a week for the four years since then, for a total of 419 posts. If Seglin had sent me to the book store with the assignment to pick one magazine and come up with 419 pitches, I would've failed his course. Yet Apple II Bits continues chugging along.
My thanks to everyone who has inspired this blog's articles and to all the readers who have taken the time to mull their words, publicly or privately. I still have a few more years in me; I hope you'll come along.
In the meantime, here are some numbers by which to quantify the site's content and evolution.
