12:38:14 Ukari I have a 'funcallable/cc' and check it with (eq (type-of x) 'funcallable/cc). Then I use a lambda to wrap funcallable/cc, how could i check type of stuff inner the lambda eq funcallable/cc now?
12:39:25 Ukari could i define sth like the struct funcallable/cc that could called by (funcall x) directly
12:46:13 Ukari oh i get it, it is a class..
12:52:18 dim mmm, ql:bundle-systems isn't using the .asd version I want it to
12:57:53 Xach dim: how can you tell?
13:00:37 dim because the list of :depends-on did change, and the newer items are not taken into account
13:00:59 dim basically I'm makeing a bundle where I want to deal with what's in PWD, not what's in QL
13:01:24 dim (let ((pkgs (append '("pgloader" "buildapp") (getf (read-from-string (uiop:read-file-string (uiop:merge-pathnames* "pgloader.asd" *pwd*))) :depends-on)))) ... (ql:bundle-systems pkgs ...))
13:01:40 dim that's what I want to do, not sure it should be the default, now that I think about it
13:04:31 dim FATAL error: system pgloader is out of date
13:04:39 dim oh. that's news to me, never had that before.
13:06:32 dim it's ASDF/SESSION:CONSULT-ASDF-CACHE complaining now, in a call to ASDF/SYSTEM:SYSTEM-RELATIVE-PATHNAME, interesting
13:06:39 dim (I'm using that for regression tests)

14:35:18 beach Good afternoon everyone!
14:39:12 oleo heya beach o/
14:39:51 schweers Hi beach
14:47:43 kqr may or may not be the right place to ask: I use Emacs and SLIME, and evaluate things in SLIME with C-c C-c. this works for pretty much everything except (in-package :foo) declarations. is there a way to get it to work even with those?
14:48:35 Bike what do you mean by it not working?
14:49:06 kqr it does not change which package SLIME is in. I have to go over to that buffer and manually enter (in-package :foo) for the change to take effect
14:50:16 Xach kqr: I use C-c ~ for that.
14:50:33 Xach It syncs the repl package with the file package
14:51:45 kqr hm. that's good. one problem down! but I have been dishonest with you. the full problem does not involve interactive use of SLIME. rather, it's an automated Org document export where Babel evaluates common lisp code and – apparently – does not respect (in-package :foo) either
14:52:04 Xach I can't help with that one
14:54:30 kqr i think I solved it, though. apparently there's a parallel to C-c ~ in the Org export – a :package header argument
14:54:42 Xach Cool
14:54:43 kqr thanks for the useful tip, though, I have been missing something like C-c ~ but not bothered enough to find it!
14:55:11 Xach I have to say I use ,ch-p in the repl a lot more than C-c ~. But when I think of it I use it.
14:55:15 schweers Xach: thank you for the tip with C-c ~. I did not know that, I always did C-c M-p, which can be annoying if one has packages foo and foo-test or foo and foo/test
14:55:30 Xach ACTION lives to serve
14:57:11 schweers I never used a comma command in the repl. does this make me a bad person/lisper?
14:58:21 Xach schweers: inefficient maybe? i find them very handy and use them 1000000 times per day
14:59:37 schweers Xach: they are slime specific, right?
14:59:51 Xach schweers: yes, but most repls have shortcuts like them
15:00:07 schweers I'm asking because I want to find documentation on those
15:00:36 sjl__ ** NICK sjl
15:00:50 Xach it is part of slime, yes
15:02:57 schweers push-package looks funny. I don't know if I'll ever use it, but I'll try to keep an eye out for when it may be useful
15:04:16 schweers anyway, thanks for reminding me to look into this feature :)
15:06:09 antoszka I keep wanting to read *all* the current SLIME manual one day.
15:06:12 antoszka I never did that :)
15:09:25 rumbler31 antoszka: it doesn't take that long
15:09:52 ecraven you can even read all the source in a day, I think
15:10:44 ecraven sloccount says it's 18k lines of lisp code (though I don't know how many of those might be auto-generated)
15:30:58 mfiano Or, if you use Sly, sly-mrepl-sync
15:37:52 ealfonso` does anyone have any experience with websockets on CL? I've heard about hunchensockets and clws. any recommendation between the two?
15:40:36 loke ealfonso`: Yes.
15:40:41 loke ealfonso`: Potato uses it.
15:42:23 ealfonso` loke which one?
15:43:09 loke ealfonso`: hunchsocket
15:43:47 loke The implementation is here: https://github.com/cicakhq/potato/blob/master/src/potato/ws-server.lisp
15:44:57 ealfonso` loke thanks. I've heard that hunchensocket "is not recommended for production use" https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23855626/websockets-from-common-lisp do you know why someone might think this?
15:46:07 loke ealfonso`: I never heard that. I've used hunchensocket for production for years
15:46:25 loke I don't know if there is an issue with lots of connections though, I've only tested with a few hundred on a single process.
15:48:18 ealfonso` loke sounds good. thanks
15:49:05 loke I think I've started 1000 clients on one process. That worked.
15:49:20 loke But it was running off a laptop and I wasn't able to saturate the connections. But the system worked.
15:49:33 loke I'm using it for a web-chat application.
15:50:41 ealfonso` loke thanks, I'll give it a try.
15:51:17 loke Good luch
15:51:25 loke hunchensocket is really easy to use
16:09:27 Xach I think people define "production" in curious ways sometimes
16:09:31 Xach Like the word "professional"
16:09:46 Xach Different things to different people and some are less flexible about needs and context.
16:22:03 lnostdal_ ** NICK lnostdal
16:24:39 drmeister What are the best resources for teaching a couple of undergraduates with little to no programming experience Common Lisp?
16:26:28 drmeister They are committed for the summer - they already have a working Common Lisp environment (Cando/Clasp in a jupyter notebook). Emacs is being installed today.
16:26:53 Xach drmeister: I like Practical Common Lisp and Paradigms of AI Programming very much. The latter is dense but rewarding.
16:27:41 Josh_2 drmeister: if programming noobs then gentle introduction to symbolic computation
16:27:43 drmeister We've started with Practical Common Lisp and we have a copy of Land of Lisp - we have found a couple of web tutorials and we are running a boot camp.
16:27:55 drmeister I'm casting about for other resources that I'm not aware of.
16:28:48 drmeister Two of them are programming noobs, the other two have Python and C experience.
16:31:01 Josh_2 When I was a nub I found PCL too hard, but Gentle introduction to symbolic computation was perfect when I had no programming experience
16:33:49 sjl I also recommend Gentle first, then Practical, then go make things for a while, then maybe PAIP or CLR
16:34:21 ealfonso` I never read any Common Lisp book. I started with emacs lisp and the emacs lisp manual, which is very user and beginer friendly. It wasn't hard to transition to CL. I may still be a noob though
16:34:52 Xach ealfonso`: i think it would be helpful to read common lisp books and code in that case.
16:35:14 sjl also throw "watch the SICP lectures" somewhere in there. not strictly about CL, but still really helpful
16:36:19 Xach i wouldn't recommend being too awful literal in translating its lessons
16:37:51 antoszka From what I know now, I'd recommend starting with PAIP. Then using PCL (and Edi's excellent recipes) as a *practical* guide/reference.
16:38:08 antoszka Gentle might be a little too gentle for some.
16:38:44 antoszka Scheme related stuff (PAIP lectures, * Schemer books) is good, too, but doesn't pertain to Common Lisp that much.
16:38:53 antoszka The similarity is very superficial.
16:39:20 Xach I think it can be helpful to learn about new ways of thinking about problems and solutions
16:39:42 phoe +1 for PCL and Book of Edi
16:39:51 phoe Also be sure to throw them at #lisp and #clnoobs
16:39:58 antoszka Oh yes.
16:40:08 antoszka They might have to learn IRC first ;)
16:40:13 phoe IRC is simple
16:40:16 phoe It's just a multiplayer notepad
16:40:20 antoszka But it's not hipchat.
16:40:25 antoszka Nor Slack.
16:40:32 jmercouris they can use IRC via the web client
16:40:46 jmercouris it's not challenging to learn IRC, if they can't learn it, they won't have much luck with CL
16:40:53 phoe ^
16:41:04 phoe I giggled reading this
16:41:22 phoe no, seriously, freenode's webchat is good enough for starters
16:53:11 ealfonso` Xach what if you look at a random sample of my code https://pastebin.com/GCKGpn2B and tell me how bad you think it is and whether I still need to read common lisp books?
16:54:16 jmercouris ealfonso`: That's not a measure of "skill"
16:54:32 jmercouris a measure of skill would be simple, are you able to do anything you'd like to do with the language in a timely manner?
16:54:36 Josh_2 ealfonso`: dropping )) onto the next line EEEEEW
16:56:13 Xach ealfonso`: I think reading books and code would helpl
16:56:16 Xach help, rather.
16:58:49 ealfonso` Josh_2 yeah, I did that while making lots of changes to a defstruct, I wanted git commits to be one-line changes, then forgot to close it.
17:01:03 ealfonso` jmercouris I was able to write this restful front-end to my C library in about a week: http://ec2-54-213-11-217.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/
17:01:54 jmercouris I have no way of judging that, nor is it my place to, I'm not an employer considering you nor am I condeming
17:02:00 jmercouris I think if you are happy, that is the best reward
17:02:10 ealfonso` jmercouris I'm happy
17:02:15 jmercouris then you are doing just fine :)
17:02:37 jmercouris don't worry about whether you are "pro" or not, when it comes time, and you need to learn more to get something done, you will learn it
17:03:53 ealfonso` jmercouris I just don't think reading dense programming books is necessarily always the best approach. some people might learn more quickly by doing
17:04:17 jmercouris I wouldn't describe the books on Lisp as dense, but they aren't really engaging
17:04:28 jmercouris I find the literature on programming books in general to be rather dry
17:05:10 comborico1611 As long as I don't get lost, I consider the programming book a win. :-) Going to lunch!
17:05:16 Xach If you rely only on learning by doing and teaching yourself, you will have gaps. It is possible to learn on your own and accomplish many great things. But I think you can do greater things by reading some other stuff.
17:05:51 comborico1611 (That is very true for playing guitar, too.)
17:06:02 jmercouris there will be gaps in your knowledge only if you learn *just enough* to accomplish what you set out to do. If you explore the topics of things that you use, you shouldn't have many gaps
17:57:39 araly hello everyone, I'm having a question about CLOS, using the lispcord library if that helps. There's a class called guild which has a id slot, and I have instances of a class called available-guild, which inherits from the guild class. I'm trying to access the id slot of my object, but it says that the slot is missing from the object
17:58:25 Bike sounds like it shouldn't happen. maybe paste a bit of code?
17:58:27 araly all inherited slots are accessible from the same accessor right ?
17:58:33 jmercouris Yes
17:59:40 araly (slot-value (lc:guild msg) 'id) is my bit of code, (lc:guild msg) returns an instance of available-guild
18:00:34 Bike are you sure id is in the right package?
18:00:35 White_Flame are you sure 'id is from the right package?
18:00:51 araly the class available-guild inherits from the class guild, and the class guild has a (id :initarg :id :type snowflake :accessor id) slot
18:00:58 sjl araly: what they said. you should be using the accessor function though, not calling `slot-value` directly
18:01:10 sjl (lc:id (lc:guild msg))
18:01:20 araly I'm calling 'id because that's what I see in the :accessor value
18:01:22 jmercouris is there an echo in here?
18:01:23 araly okay I'll try that
18:02:02 sjl araly: if you're not importing the `id` symbol from that package, then you're trying to effectively do (slot-value ... 'some-other-package:id) instead of (slot-value ... 'lc:id)
18:02:03 araly there's no (lc:id)
18:02:07 Bike :accessor makes a reader and writer function. you're not using those, you're using slot-value
18:02:36 araly okay, I thought slot-value could get the value from the reader accesso
18:02:42 araly accessor*
18:03:07 sjl slot-value is a low-level function. if there's an accessor, you should generally prefer using that.
18:03:18 Bike the only "reader accessor" is a function
18:04:00 araly which function is that, something from CLOS or something that should exist in the package ?
18:04:08 jmercouris araly: it's usually defined in the defclass
18:04:17 Bike the function would be called id
18:04:19 jmercouris if you look at the definition there should be :accessor attribute
18:04:21 Bike that's what :accessor id means
18:04:23 nirved if it's really needed (slot-value (lc:guild msg) 'lc::id)
18:04:29 Bike slot-value uses the slot name instead
18:04:33 jmercouris so you'd do something like (id some-object)
18:04:35 sjl araly: I don't know what the lc package is. Is it a nickname you're defining for one of the lispcord packages?
18:04:40 jmercouris to retrieve some-object's id
18:04:52 araly lc is a shortcut for the lispcord package I think
18:05:05 jmercouris you think? whose code is this? someone elses?
18:05:18 sjl araly: okay, so here's where guild is defined: https://github.com/lispcord/lispcord/blob/master/src/classes/guild.lisp
18:05:59 araly yeah I see that, that's where I looked the accessor up, but there isn't anything more in the defclass guild
18:06:09 sjl that's in the lispcord.classes package. it defines the guild class with a slot with name `id` in that package, and accessor named `id` in that package
18:06:37 sjl Defining that accessor means there will be a function called `id` in the `lispcord.classes` package that will take a guild and give you its id
18:07:12 sjl if we look in the packages.lisp file in that directory https://github.com/lispcord/lispcord/blob/master/src/classes/package.lisp we can see that the package exports that `id` name
18:07:34 araly okay, so the accessor itself doesn't do anything, it just says that there will be a function
18:08:02 sjl No, it will also define that function automatically
18:08:19 sjl aha, here's where the magic name lc comes from: https://github.com/lispcord/lispcord/blob/master/src/classes/package.lisp#L170-L172
18:08:54 Bike the :accessor specifies that there should be reader and writer functions, and that they should use the given symbol in their names
18:09:17 araly hum
18:09:19 sjl by "should be" Bike means "it will ensure there are" not "you need to define manually"
18:09:48 Bike yes.
18:09:57 sjl (lc:id (lc:guild msg)) should work. does it not? can you paste the error?
18:11:16 sjl also wow this code is hard to read because of tabs instead of spaces
18:11:50 araly okay, it worked, I don't really understand why though, is the lc:id a function that exists because of the :accessor, and it knows that it's has to be the id from an available-guild instance, because it has that in parameters ?
18:13:23 jmercouris sjl: C-x h - C-i
18:13:25 araly so what is the slot-value for, because it works for a class I have created, but where I don't accessors. Should I write accessors and use this instead ?
18:13:58 jmercouris araly: Yes, you should write with accessors
18:14:00 sjl when you say (defclass foo () ((some-slot :accessor some-accessor))) lisp will create the class with a slot named some-slot. It will also create (if it doesn't already exist) a generic function called some-accessor, and will define a method on some-accessor for members of class foo
18:14:23 sjl by convention, a lot of people use the same symbol to name the slot and the accessor function
18:14:28 jmercouris araly: I think it would be a good idea to stop what you are doing, and read about CLOS
18:14:29 araly okay, is there a naming convention for accessors ?
18:14:38 araly okay
18:15:24 jmercouris araly: start here: http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ on section 16, and then 17
18:15:33 jmercouris that should give you a basic understanding
18:15:58 araly thanks people, I've been blocked on this for a little while now ^^
18:16:01 sjl If you want a really good intro to CLOS, Keene's book is a good resource. It's worth spending a while getting the basics down.
18:16:13 araly roger
18:16:17 sjl (Object Oriented Programming in Common Lisp: A Programmer's Guide to CLOS)
18:16:31 sjl It's a pretty short book, well written too.
18:18:20 sjl There are PDFs floating around of it, unsure how legal they are. I own two paper copies because I bought a second while I was in grad school rather than shipping my copy I left at home across the ocean.
18:18:52 sjl jmercouris: whatever those letters are, github dot com doesn't support them
18:20:28 araly lisp is a language I learn on my own for fun, so I have a more try and read when you can't approach, I think it's time to read a bit further than just to be able to keep going ^^
18:20:52 jmercouris sjl: copy/paste into a local buffer. select all, c-x h, c-i indent
18:21:29 sjl jmercouris: those keystrokes also don't work in vim
18:21:52 jmercouris sjl: sure, type :q, then when you drop back into the terminal, type in emacs to get a sensible environment
18:22:02 sjl I could pipe to lispindent but it's just less effort to read the weird indentation
18:22:08 sjl jmercouris: you forgot the <cr> there bud
18:22:16 jmercouris Ah, yes :P
18:22:24 jmercouris you mean <RET>
18:36:58 White_Flame is this the most compatible/safe way of getting the directory of a file? (make-pathname :defaults filename :name nil :type nil)
18:37:43 jmercouris that's how I do it
18:38:18 White_Flame took me a while to converge on that, still seems kind of indirect
18:44:20 jmercouris I didn't think of it myself, I saw someone else do it, and just copied them
18:49:12 White_Flame I have some old cygwin path support in my lisp build tools. With the various linux subsystems in newer windows, and VMs being more popular, do you think cygwin usage is going to drop away?
18:50:52 jmercouris I would agree with that statement
18:51:09 jmercouris you could look at google trends to get an idea
18:51:28 jmercouris https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=cygwin
18:51:50 jmercouris if you expand the graph date range, the trend is very clear
19:05:42 ZigPaw for me WSL superseded Cygwin on all windows machines I use. It is just plainly easier to use as I can leverage all of the software packaged in ubuntu and not to worry if something will compile under cygwin.
19:06:21 ZigPaw and Emacs (latest snapshot) works really good under it.
19:21:08 aeth I thought WSL isn't graphical? I know Emacs outside of the terminal has more features, like more colors available for better syntax highlighting, and PDF reading.
19:25:00 jasom White_Flame: (uiop:pathname-directory-pathname "/foo")
19:25:36 White_Flame I'm doing build scripts from a very raw environment, can't depend on libs being loaded yet
19:25:59 jasom White_Flame: well you can copy the source-code for that then. It's a single .lisp file to load it as well.
20:23:23 dtornabene so I've got a library (cl-async) with a bugfix that doesn't seem to have migrated up to a new package yet, i.e. the fixed library isn't available on quicklisp yet
20:23:50 dtornabene my question is: should I download the fixed library from github and just install it via the local-projects mechanism?
20:24:49 sjl that's generally what I do
20:25:09 dtornabene cool
20:25:16 sjl don't forget step 2: forget you did this until six months later when it breaks something because you're running an old version
20:25:20 dtornabene ha
20:25:49 sjl I should clean out my local-projects every time I update the quicklisp dist, but I forget
20:25:51 dtornabene its like the third thing to go wrong loading another library and I'm getting perilously close to saying "yeah, nah....."
20:26:07 dtornabene i forget as well
20:52:36 Xach ACTION uses ql:where-is-system a lot as a result
20:57:22 Xach It would be interesting (and easy to implement) to have an easy way to see local projects that shadow quicklisp projects.
21:00:04 dtornabene that would be interestin
21:00:38 dtornabene i didn't even know about that command, super cool
21:02:33 dtornabene irony of it is that I had the quicklisp source queued up in another window to do some reading specifically to see what other commands there were that I haven't learned yet and I had to spend time trying to get another library to load
22:05:07 vtomole stylewarning: Congrats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svmPz5oxMlI&t=2s
22:25:58 Bicyclidine ** NICK Bike
22:28:31 ZigPaw aeth you can run X Server on windows and have WSL apps using this (MobaXTerm works best with latest emacs snapshot).
22:53:02 drunk_foxx[m] Lisp and Rigetti Computing on computerfile, wow
22:53:08 drunk_foxx[m] And it seems to be a series
22:53:42 drunk_foxx[m] Parenthesis to the masses!
22:54:20 drunk_foxx[m] But honestly this intro video tells almost nothing about the language, I bet it could have been done better. But whatever
23:02:32 johnvonneumann ** NICK Guest60134
23:35:20 didi Heh, I'm having a brain fart. So (loop for fn in (loop for i to 3 collect (lambda () i)) collect (funcall fn)) evals to (4 4 4 4), but I want (0 1 2 3), i.e. I want the thunk to have the value of 'i' when it was created, not a reference to 'i'. What to do?
23:37:18 Bike (let ((x i)) (lambda () x))
23:37:37 Bike it's a pretty obscure and ambiguous point about what closures actually allocate
23:38:34 didi Bike: Ah. I tried (lambda () (let ((x i)) x)) and I failed.
23:38:40 didi This is interesting.
23:38:53 Bike the basic idea is that LOOP will create just one binding, and repeatedly modify it
23:39:43 didi Bike: Thank you.

What craftsmanship method is used?
We use 360° Goodyear construction for all our dress shoes & boots, which is waterproof, comfortable, & the most durable form of footwear construction.
Our shoes will last you between 5-7 years minimum.
For our Sneakers, we use stitched construction, a rare method used for sneakers that skillfully attaches the Margom sole, so you can wear your sneakers for a very long time.Do you ship internationally?
We ship worldwide for free.
We have an exceptionally low return rate & we are proud of the high quality items we offer. However, we understand that there may be a case in which you need to return or exchange your order and we are more than happy to accommodate you.
You can always return or exchange your item for free anywhere in the US & EU so long as:
- Your items are unworn, undamaged, in re-sellable condition (i.e. no creases or wear on soles), and in their original packaging w/ their dust-bags.
- Your return request is submitted within 14 days of receiving your original order.
We reserve the right to refuse returns that do not meet these criteria.
All returns are subject to a $10 restocking fee.
*Shoes bought using a promo code are only subject to exchanges, not returns. We have the slimmest profit margin in the industry because of the fact that we use the highest quality construction & material at the lowest price possible. We cannot offer free returns for discounted shoes because it is too costly. By paying full price we will insure that you are able to return your shoes for free. For example, If you use a $15 off discount or use a promo code that offers a premium gift you are waiving the ability to return the shoes. Again, by using a promotional offer you are able to exchange your shoes for another size, but we cannot offer you a refund.
*Shoes designed on the custom platform are final sale products. Any shoe customized by you is final sale meaning that there are no returns or exchanges on these orders. If you are a first time customer we suggest you order a shoe from our collection page first since those shoes come with free returns/exchanges. Once you are confident with your shoe size we suggest ordering from our custom platform.
Cancellation halfway through the production process is subject to a 99euro cancellation fee. We use fresh high-quality materials in our production process. If you cancel your order halfway through production you are wasting expensive materials that have to be discarded. We will charge you half the costs to help us not loose necessary funding to operate our business. Please do not order unless you are sure that you want the shoes you ordered.
Returns (Outside the US or EU)
For international returns outside of the contiguous USA or European Union, please indicate on package "RETURN, NO DUTIES" or your package will be returned to you. We unfortunately cannot take responsibility for duties and customs. If you elect to return your product and you are based outside of the United States or European Union, we will not be responsible for any duties/customs that you have paid. Returns and exchanges are only offered within the US & European Union. If you are an international customer, please note that international shipping costs are non-refundable and will not be covered by Idrese.

I've been on Facebook for a long time. I've seen countless changes to its design, some good and some not-as-good. I'm sure I'll get used to this one in time as well, but the ticker has to go.
If you haven't noticed it, the ticker is this mini-Facebook feed in the upper-right corner of your Facebook window. It displays real-time activities of your friends – when they comment on something, when they like something, when they join something, when they are joined to something (even private groups), etc. I'm sure some people really love it, and in fact, I've seen some of my own friends say how nice it is. The majority of my friends though have been posting links on how to get rid of it since it first appeared. And if they're not posting links to extensions that hide it (like this one), they're posting the following:

No Pain, Big Gain
This story appears in the September 1998 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
America is a nation in pain--back pain. According to the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, back pain affects one in four Americans and is the second- leading cause of work absenteeism. Unlike many ailments, back pain is often brought on by nothing at all: A sedentary lifestyle, combined with long hours of sitting in awkward positions, puts a great deal of stress on the fragile cartilage discs that support and cushion the spine. These discs degenerate with age, making back pain a common complaint among seniors, whose numbers are expected by the U.S. Census Bureau to more than double from 34.3 million to 78.8 million people by 2050.
Although traditional medical remedies such as drugs and surgery can sometimes relieve or eliminate back pain, the high cost of health care and the chronic nature of back problems are prompting a growing number of back-pain sufferers to seek alternative methods of relief. "More people are taking responsibility for their own backs," says Dr. Joel Press, a Chicago physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist. "There's a lot [the medical industry] can offer in terms of education about what types of activities to do and what kinds of things to avoid, but I think people are taking the next step and asking what they can do about the problem."
Former U.S. Navy fighter pilot, IBM executive and back-pain
sufferer Dairl Johnson, 55, took the next step after years of back
pain, which started when he was injured while ejecting from an
aircraft during a training exercise. His doctor referred him to a
Relax The Back Store, which specialized in selling ergonomic
products designed to alleviate and prevent back pain, and suggested
Johnson buy a recliner and a backrest for his car. These products
turned out to be so effective at relieving his back pain that
Johnson opened several Relax The Back Store franchises in
California in 1993. Eventually, he bought Relax The Back Corp.,
which now has more than 100 stores and had 1997 sales of nearly $50
million, up from $30 million
in 1996.
While Johnson is pleased with Relax The Back's success, having felt the same pain his customers feel, he enjoys being able to offer them some relief. "I can't think of a better business to be in," he says. "I can help people feel better and live more active lives and prevent debilitating back problems with my products."
Relax The Back expects to open 25 new U.S. stores by year-end, and Johnson also plans to enter the markets in Western Europe, Japan and Singapore. "We're not even close to reaching our full growth potential," he says.
JoAnne Schatz, 60, is another entrepreneur who has built a business soothing aching backs. Working for an orthopedic surgeon who often told his back-pain patients to purchase special back-supporting beds, chairs and pillows, Schatz found that many patients had no idea where to find such products. The enterprise that was to become JoAnne's Bed & Back Shops was born in Schatz's garage in 1978, with $15,000 in capital and her children serving as part-time employees.
With the help of her husband, Schatz opened her first store in Bethesda, Maryland, in 1980, focusing on back-pain prevention. "At JoAnne's, we don't just sell to people with bad backs; we sell to people who are trying to prevent bad backs," says Schatz, who develops and puts her name on many of the products she sells. "For example, if you tell me you drive two hours a day and your back hurts, I'm going to sell you a back support for your car so the problem doesn't get any worse." Eighteen years after moving out of her garage, Schatz has 13 stores in four Northeastern states and Washington, DC, with 1997 sales of more than $6.2 million.
Although JoAnne's Bed & Back Shop's Web site (http://www.backfriendly.com) and catalog both display her wares, the nature of the business requires that customers receive personal attention. In fact, many of Schatz's stores feature physical therapists who conduct training sessions and consultations. "People have to be fit to the product, whether it's a mattress, chair or pillow," says Schatz. Despite the many pillows and smaller items available in the stores, Schatz says the most popular items are mattresses, adjustable beds and office chairs, which drive average sales to around $300.
Help Is On The Way
Recent concerns about repetitive motion injuries are driving the demand for back stores' products and services. According to Bureau of Labor statistics, back injuries account for 26 percent of all workplace injuries/illnesses, and employers concerned about workers' compensation claims are scrambling to take preventive measures.
"Employers are increasingly interested in providing comfortable, healthy work environments," says Anthony Mazlish, 33, founder and president of Newington, Virginia-based The Healthy Back Store Inc. Aside from selling smaller back-support products, beds and chairs, The Healthy Back also works with employers to provide employees with ergonomically sound chairs, desks and computer stations. To this end, Mazlish includes a detailed workplace evaluation form on his company's Web site (http://www.healthyback.com) to obtain precise measurements of leg and arm lengths for orders of custom-designed ergonomic furniture.
"The greater the proliferation of computers at all levels of the work force and the more sedentary the work force, the more back pain there is, and the more you're going to need these types of chairs," says Mazlish, a back-pain sufferer himself, who opened the first Healthy Back Store in Rockville, Maryland, in 1994. With Mazlish's recent acquisition of three Natural Back Stores in Southern California (which are now called The Healthy Back), The Healthy Back chain is now eight stores strong.
Time To Hit Med School?
If you're considering opening a back store, you may wonder if, given the health problems that drive potential customers to these stores, medical expertise is required to satisfy the needs of customers as well as avoid legal trouble if one of your products injures a customer. The answer, according to Schatz, is no. "We're not doctors, and we don't pretend to be, but if we see someone with a very bad back, we tell him or her to go see a doctor," she says. "We're very careful about that."
Mazlish says that while his employees don't offer customers medical advice, they do receive training from a physical therapist to help them better serve clients. "Customers expect a high level of service and expertise, but we are certainly no substitute for a doctor's care," he says. "We are, however, very fluent in the language of back pain."
As far as legal trouble associated with back-support products go: "We've never had a lawsuit as a result of a product," says Schatz. "JoAnne's Bed & Back has an exchange policy to ensure customer satisfaction. In fact, we actually have a scrapbook of letters from people we've helped."
Talk Of The Town
Since the success of a back store depends on the level of its commitment to customer satisfaction, most customers learn of a store's presence through word-of-mouth. Referrals from doctors and chiropractors still make up a good portion of new customers, but the narrow niche that back stores occupy, as well as their relative newness to the marketplace, make effective advertising tactics a must. Relax The Back's Johnson says that while his store's catalog generates a fair amount of business, the store's Web site (which lists store locations and product information) is beginning to generate more business. "It has not been a big force, and this is probably true of a lot of businesses on the Internet, but over time I can see it becoming more of a factor," says Johnson.
The good news is, back stores are, in Johnson's words, "destination locations," meaning that most customers don't enter the stores on impulse, as they do with many retail stores. In other words, because customers are looking for you, back stores can often flourish in relatively out-of-the-way locations, which generally have lower rent than prime spots. Start-up costs for back-products stores typically range from $150,000 to $250,000.
Owning a back store isn't just about selling back-support products, says Mazlish. "It is a customer service business," he says. "When you're helping people improve their comfort level, you're only as good as the amount of relief you can give them. If what we sell them doesn't work, we haven't done a darn thing."

I absolutely love this college. The campus is very small and easy to walk. There is always something going on. At least twice a month there is a campus wide movie shown on a large wall, like a drive in or in the only lecture hall, like a movie theater and it is entirely free. I am Christian, so the daily chapel services and nightly worship services are extremely appreciated. I especially enjoy Offerings which is a weekly contemporary worship service. Throughout the year there are many dances for students to attend including the Fall Ball, Boo Ball (Halloween), Yule Ball, a Valentine's day dance and the Spring Formal. Lastly, every dorm is required to do an all dorm event once a semester and an all campus event once a semester. The residential life team truly wants all of the students to connect, so they have put each dorm into a team, and these are called Brother Sister dorms. These dorms get together for a lot of spiritual life activities and Dorm Follies, a tournament of games at the beginning of the year. All of the activities are amazing but I must say that the thing I enjoy the most is being able to hop over to any other dorm and hang out with my friends, whereas at a larger college it could be more difficult to go to other dorms that could be blocks away.Read More

Bottled washes to clean food? Water's fine
For consumers worried about E. coli on their cantaloupe or pesticides on their peaches, there's a new form of alleged assistance on grocery store shelves: bottled washes that promise to remove pesticide residues, wax, dirt and bacteria from fruit and vegetables.
Given the recent string of nationwide outbreaks linked to produce -- salmonella on peanuts earlier this year, salmonella on jalapeno peppers last year, and E. coli O157:H7 on spinach in 2006 -- the antibacterial claims may be particularly alluring: A growing number of washes bearing such claims have arrived on the market in recent years.
But are these products necessary, and do they work?
Veggie Wash, Fit Fruit and Vegetable Wash, Bi-O-Kleen Produce Wash, Earth Friendly Products Fruit & Vegetable Wash and Eat Cleaner All Natural Food Wash and Wipes are some of the washes on store shelves. The precise contents vary, but produce washes typically contain some sort of surfactant, a cleansing agent that loosens dirt and breaks down oil, as well as ingredients intended to help kill germs, such as citrus oils, citrus acids or salts.
Unlike dish soap or other soaps, produce washes contain food-grade ingredients, so that they're safe to consume in residual amounts.
But though they are safe themselves, there's little evidence yet that they make produce any safer.
One wash -- Fit -- cites data on its website showing it is as good as chlorine solution at eliminating E. coli, salmonella and listeria pathogens from produce such as tomatoes, radishes, alfalfa sprouts and lettuce.
Another, Eat Cleaner, commissioned independent labs to test its product and found that it removed 99.9% of the E.coli and salmonella bacteria on produce.
But so far, the studies on washes have all been conducted or commissioned by the companies that make the products, says Sandra McCurdy, extension food safety specialist in the School of Family and Consumer Sciences at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. And their scientific methodology isn't entirely clear, she says.
McCurdy adds that most produce is pathogen-free because it's been washed during processing and because handlers take steps to avoid contaminating the fruits and vegetables they stock in the produce aisle. But if it is not, a thorough rinse under water is usually all that's needed to remove most pathogens.
Bacteria in plants
On rare occasions, bacteria can get taken up into the tissue of a plant, as scientists suspect may have happened during the 2006 E. coli outbreak associated with spinach. In such instances, produce washes won't help.
"If the bacteria get into the tissue during processing, it's too late, it's trapped in the tissue," says Michael Doyle, professor and director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia in Griffin, Ga. (Doyle developed an antimicrobial technology that was licensed earlier this year by the makers of Fit produce wash.)
Many wash manufacturers also claim their products will remove waxes that trap dirt, germs and pesticides. But in fact, the waxes on fruits and vegetables serve as protection from bacteria as well as mold that can cause rot, McCurdy says, so it's better not to wash produce until you're about to eat it.
As for pesticides, there's little scientific evidence to support claims that washes do a better job than water when it comes to removing them, says Anne Riederer, a professor of environmental and occupational health at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.
"Any kind of washing, including just plain water, would probably remove most pesticides," Riederer says. Riederer adds that most fruits and vegetables sprayed with pesticides contain residues of the chemicals within their tissue, which no amount of washing would remove.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Pesticide Data Program, which tests samples of fresh and processed foods for pesticide residues every year, less than 1% of products contained unsafe levels of pesticide residues in 2007, the most recent year for which data are available. Testing also shows that the residues that do remain on produce -- albeit at levels considered safe by the agency -- are of numerous kinds. Residues of several dozen pesticides were often found on a single fruit or vegetable.
Cleaning helps
"Some are soluble in water, some are not, and they all contain inert ingredients" whose chemical properties are unknown, says Brian Hill, staff scientist at Pesticide Action Network North America, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization. "It's certainly good to wash these off, but it's hard to say if a wash would be successful."
In all likelihood, McCurdy says, there's no harm in using produce washes. They may even do some good, although that's not known. If they do, this may be of particular help for the very young, the elderly and the immunocompromised, Doyle adds. "These folks are explicitly sensitive to food-borne infections, so it's important that extra precautions are taken for them," he says.
McCurdy, who has tried produce wash at home, says, "I wouldn't recommend it, because I don't think at this time we have the data to support the claim that it's going to make a difference." However, she does understand why people like the products: It might make them feel that something's cleaner. "I used it to wash bird poop off a plum I got from the farmers market -- and I did feel better than if I had just washed it with water."

"Text A Tip" New Way for State Police to Collect Info
The Kentucky State Police is initiating a new proactive program where citizens are now able to text confidential tips from their cell phone. The program, "Text a Tip," is designed to report criminal activity, assist with neighborhood watch and serve as an additional resource for schools and college campuses.
"Text a Tip" is completely confidential and easy to use. Anyone with texting capabilities from personal electronic devices can simply text 67283 in the address field, then type KSPTIP in the message field, leave a space and then enter information about a crime. If your tip went through successfully, you will receive an instant confirmation text on your phone.
Web-based and phone tip lines have been around a while, but have the disadvantage of a perpetrator overhearing the person on the phone or they required Internet access.
KSP Spokesperson, Sgt. Rick Saint-Blancard says "Text a Tip" is gaining ground because text messaging does not require verbal communication or Internet access. "Everywhere you go, someone has a cell phone with them," says Saint-Blancard. "Whether a person is at home or a large venue, like a sporting event or concert, they can text a tip to us without bringing attention to themselves."
Saint-Blancard says people who live in high-crime neighborhoods are often afraid that if they are seen talking to police, they could be subject to retaliation from drug dealers or other criminals.
"So when they have this option of texting us — knowing no one will know who they are — they are more willing to provide specific details and names about the activity," he adds. "Text a Tip" messages are sent to a separate, third-party server, where identifying information is stripped out and they are assigned an encrypted alias before being sent to police.
Text-a-tip programs are being promoted in schools across the country to report weapon threats and reduce bullying.
"No technology is more powerful then the eyes and ears of the public," adds Saint-Blancard. "The key is enlisting people on their own terms by providing a discrete, immediate and confidential reporting source."
KSP reminds citizens to keep safety in mind when texting tips.
"If a tipster is driving when they witness suspicious activity, we ask them to safely pull to the side of the road and place their vehicle in park before attempting to text in a tip," says Saint-Blancard.
The "Text a Tip" program is operational 24 Hours a Day / 7 Days a Week and is received and monitored by the KSP Communications Center. KSP openly solicits information from citizens on any type of crime occurring but encourages citizens to call "911" if the crime is in-progress or there is an emergency.
Detailed instructions of the program can be found on the KSP website a thttp://www.kentuckystatepolice.org/pdf/text_a_tip_sheet.pdf.

An al-Qaida-affiliated group in Iraq claimed responsibility on Wednesday for bloody attacks that killed dozens of people across the country a day earlier.
In a statement posted on a militant website, the Islamic State of Iraq said the car bombs and other explosions came to avenge the executions and "massacres" of convicted Sunni inmates held in Iraqi prisons.
Most of the nearly 20 attacks on Tuesday, the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, targeted Shiite areas in Baghdad.
They killed 65 and wounded more than 200, demonstrating in stark terms how dangerously divided Iraq remains more than a year after American troops withdrew.
The al-Qaida statement warned the Shiite-led government to stop executing Sunni prisoners or "expect more bad events ... and seas of blood."
"What has reached you on Tuesday was the first drop of rain, and a first phase ... that will be followed by more revenge," it said.
Also on Wednesday police said a car bomb exploded during rush hour in eastern Baghdad, killing two civilians and wounding four.
A medical official in a nearby hospital confirmed the casualty figures. All spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.
Violence has ebbed sharply since the height of insurgency, but militants are still able to stage high-profile lethal attacks.

anybody ?
Student or Learner
hey guys, i really need your help if you could check my letter if there are any mistakes i d be more than happy
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the Erasmus Scholarship at the University of La Laguna in Spain. I would like to offer my candidature for the above Scholarship for the 2010-2011 academic year.
Without a doubt there are many reasons why I would like to be one of the participants of Erasmus Program. I have always dreamt of going to Spain. Tumultuous history of this wonderful country, where various civilizations have mingled over the centuries; multiplicity of dialects, religions, nationalities and cultural richness makes Spain an amazing place, which I would like to go on longer.
La Laguna - the oldest town in the Canary Islands, where thousands of students from around the world come every year is from my point of view a perfect place to study. University of La Laguna, with over three hundred years history, is an institution well-known and traditional. It is worth adding here that studies abroad gives you a great opportunity to learn the principals of the functioning of foreign university and look wider at higher education system. The La Laguna University educates nearly 25 thousands students from various parts of the world, including more and more Poles who encouraged by the positive opinions of their countrymen, also want a taste of studying in this egotistic place.
I am convinced that the studies in Tenerife is a unique opportunity for me to learn about Spain 'from the inside' - its people, different culture and customs and intercourse every day with things, we won't be able to see from hotel room window or in another Pedro Almodovar's movie.
It is also a great opportunity to learn Spanish language at a high level. As it is known, learning a foreign language is the best investment nowadays and spanish is one of the three most popular languages in the world. Without a doubt the a good commend in this language will build up my whole life.
In addition, Erasmus gives the possibility to establish contacts with people from all over Europe and even the world. Students like me, who are hungry for knowledge, but also for adventure and new experiences in an unknown place. In the era of globalization Erasmus is an important lesson of tolerance, but also independence. With no doubts, it leaves priceless experiences and memories for a lifetime. This is a unique chance for personal development and I would like to exploit this chance.
Currently I am a second year student of journalism and social communication. A year ago, I received a bachelor's degree in European studies at the University of Lodz. I think that trip to La Laguna is a great opportunity for me to broaden my knowledge about the European Union acquired on second faculty and confront various opinions about national stereotypes, as a focus of my work BA. I am truly convinced that I am an appropriate candidate for this program. I am a hardworking, ambitious, responsible and not afraid of new challenges person. Certainly I would be a good showcase of Polish student in the European Union.
Yours faithfully,
anybody ?

i guess i wanted to say 'exotic' place - 'egzotyczny' in polish
but instead of that can i say:

Dartmouth Printing Invests in Two-web Sunday 2000 Press
HANOVER, NH—Oct. 6, 2010—Dartmouth Printing, a web printer specializing exclusively in journal, magazine and catalog production, will install a new nine-unit Goss Sunday 2000 web press in early 2011.
The performance of an existing Sunday 2000 system at Dartmouth Printing—including automation, makeready efficiency, low waste and gapless-blanket print quality—was a key factor in selecting the Goss press, according to Jack Elliott, vice president of operations.
"We are replacing older capacity with another advanced Sunday press ideally suited for our specialized, makeready intensive environment," Elliott explains. "We know first hand that this platform allows us to provide significant cost, quality and versatility advantages for our customers."
The new nine-unit, two-web Sunday 2000 web offset press will allow Dartmouth operators to produce a wide variety of signatures with up to 32 pages. The system will be equipped with Goss Contiweb splicers, Ecocool dryers, QPL automated plate loading technology and a PCF-1 pinless folder. Goss Omnicon controls will integrate closed-loop systems as well as advanced presetting, reporting, job storage and remote diagnostics.
Dartmouth Printing routinely produces journals, magazines, and catalogs in run lengths up to 100,000 copies. "With a workflow built around the automation of the Sunday press technology, we complete job changes in well under 15 minutes with very low waste," according to Elliott. "That is a differentiating advantage for us and for the publishers we serve."
About Dartmouth Printing:
Dartmouth Printing has operated in New Hampshire since 1793. The company is one of six printing and publishing services companies within The Sheridan Group, which is headquartered in Hunt Valley, MD. www.sheridan.com.

De Witt Clinton Park
Remembering Those Who Paid The Ultimate Sacrifice: NYC Parks and Flemish Government Honor Local War Heroes at Historic Clinton War Memorial in De Witt Clinton ParkFor Immediate Release
Friday, May 24, 2013
No. 49
NYC Parks Borough Commissioner William Castro and Kris Dierckx, Representative of the Government of Flanders to the U.S., joined Belgian Consul General Marc Calcoen, German Consul General Busso von Albenslaben, Amy and Emily Schwarz, granddaughters of sculptor Burt Johnson, Mayor's Office of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Terrance Holliday, and Flanders House New York to honor local war heroes at the historic Clinton War Memorial in De Witt Clinton Park in honor of Memorial Day.
The event included a reading of John McCrae's famous poem, In Flanders Field, that inspired sculptor Burt Johnson, followed by a playing of taps. Mayor Bloomberg's proclamation for the occasion was also read.
Located at the southeast corner of De Witt Clinton Park, the poignant monument is the work of sculptor Burt W. Johnson (1890-1927) and architect Harvey Wiley Corbett. It was commissioned by the Clinton District Association as a memorial to the young men from the neighborhood who died in World War I, and was dedicated on June 8, 1930. The monument features a pensive infantryman known as a "doughboy" holding poppies in his right hand and a rifle slung over his left shoulder. The granite pedestal is inscribed with a verse from the famous poem written by John McCrae (1872-1918), In Flanders Fields.
The arrival of the American Expeditionary Force in June 1917 in Europe tipped the balance in favor of the Allied Forces towards the middle of 1918. The four American divisions, 40,000 men in all, who fought in Flanders, arrived in Europe in June of 1918. The 27th and 30th Divisions were engaged in battle on the front south of Ypres. The 37th and 91st Divisions led an attack near the Flemish towns of Waregem and Kruishoutem. The Americans suffered heavy losses, particularly in the Spitaalsbossen, not far from the present day Flanders Fields American Cemetery and Memorial in Waregem, which commemorates the 368 dead and 43 missing soldiers on Belgian territory during World War I.
Today's event is one of a series organized by the Government of Flanders, Belgium, through Flanders House New York, its U.S. representation, to commemorate the Centennial of World War I (2014-2018). The Flemish Government of Belgium seeks to incorporate the centennial anniversary into a broader framework of "war and peace, remembrance and realization, and international cooperation". Mr. Kris Peeters, Minister President of the Government of Flanders, stated that "it is our explicit ambition to establish a humanitarian and internationally oriented project, which we wish to associate with the peace theme." The Flemish government is currently working to sponsor care for a period of six years of the Clinton War Memorial and its surrounding landscape.
Poet McCrae was a Canadian physician and lieutenant colonel who was inspired to write the poem in response to his friend and fellow soldier, Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres—a series of military engagements in which many thousands of soldiers died in 1915 in western Belgium. The lines of the poem have resonated for generations, and its image of poppies has become a symbol of loss and remembrance. Burt Johnson selected the motif for the floral tribute carried by his doughboy and the inscription.
The term doughboy was widely popularized in the United States during World War I (1914-1918) to refer to infantrymen. After the war numerous communities commissioned doughboy statues to honor local war heroes. The Clinton War Memorial's doughboy is one of nine such statues erected in New York City's parks.
In an unpublished speech delivered by Burt Johnson at Pomona College in 1924 he commented on the important neighborhood and societal role of statues such as this: "Civic sculpture, its subject, its placement and its execution make it a part of the life of the community." It is a tribute to Johnson's artistry that though the City and neighborhood may have evolved, his doughboy's emotive power has endured for future generations.

Dr. Dain Heer is an internationally renowned author, speaker and facilitator of consciousness and change. For over 20 years now, Dain has been inviting people to embrace their true greatness—people from every culture, country, age and social strata of society.
Originally trained as a chiropractor, he has a completely different approach to healing by facilitating people to tap into and recognise their own abilities and knowing.
He is best known for his powerful energetic transformation process, called The Energetic Synthesis of Being and for being the co-creator of Access Consciousness. Reaching far beyond what people say with words, Dain looks at the energy of what is being presented and is able to invite change at the core of each being he comes across. He invites people to truly live—to live without apology, with total presence, no longer needing to hide their differences and unique capacities from the world.
What if it is our differences embraced rather than judged and made wrong, that will bring about a greater world?
In his talks and workshops, his unique way of facilitating provides step by step energetic processes to get people out of the answers, conclusions and judgments that are keeping them stuck in a cycle of no choice and no change – leading them into the moments of awe that have the power to change anything.
For Dr. Dain, judgment is the biggest killer on the planet, especially the judgment of ourselves. Based on his own life experience, he asks:
What if we could get out of the wrongness of ourselves and see every wrongness, the places where judge ourselves the most, as a strongness? What would be possible then?
Every year, Dain receives thousands of emails from readers who say that his most recent book, Being You Changing the World, inspired them to live. Somehow he is able to lead people out of their self-criticism and innate feeling of never being enough into a sense of question and wonder and gratitude for being alive. Dain comes from a broken family, growing up with his mother in a ghetto area of Los Angeles. During these years, he was exposed to mental, physical, emotional, sexual and monetary abuse. Everything he chose and wanted was taken from him. Very early on, he learned that he didn't own anything.
Yet, Dain never chose to be a victim. Instead he discovered the power of total allowance, courage, and resilience. He learned to transform life's challenges into a gift of strength, awareness and continuous questions. Along the way, what came forward in him was a true kindness of being, and a phenomenal knowing that has made him an agent of change rarely seen in this world. Today he is acknowledged worldwide for his unique perspectives on consciousness and personal transformation, that are unlike anything else out there.
Dain is a Doctor of Chiropractic, born and raised in California, USA. He hosts a regular radio show entitled Conversations in Consciousness on Voice of America and has been a guest on hundreds of nationally syndicated radio shows. When Dr. Dain Heer isn't facilitating classes or speaking at events around the world, he's busy appearing in various media outlets sharing practical tools that offer greater possibilities and new choices for living. He hosts a regular radio show with Gary Douglas, the Founder of Access Consciousness, entitled Conversations in Consciousness. It's a show that will literally turn your reality upside down with conversations that will introduce a totally new perspective of what is truly possible.
He also appears regularly on the Dr. Pat Show, Voice of America and is a regular guest on internationally syndicated radio shows. He's been featured on the cover of Insight and Om Times Magazines and has appeared on numerous TV shows including the Good Morning show in New Zealand, The Circle and Morning Show – Australia, Fox News, Morning Show, Toronto, Breakfast Television Vancouver, Great Day Houston and numerous shows on Gaiam TV.

Finally we have gotten a few nice days in a row (without snow) and the tulips are starting to bloom.
It looks so lovely and colourful out front again, with the fiery colours of the tulips, the freshly washed flags, and everything greening up!
My little snake "friends" have even decided that they don't need to spend every daylight hour right in my garden... YAY! lol
It has been pretty windy out though, and I haven't been out to work in my garden since the weekend, only out to water.
BUT I do have peas, snow peas, lettuce, and spinach planted in the bed behind the house, I have my fences up and repaired. I have all of my seeds and tools ready to go.
I have seedlings starting in my garden room, complete with grow lights and everything- though it is a pretty makeshift set up at this point. The original plan was to install hooks in the ceiling, but... long story. I figured it out- that is one of the things I do best. Improvise. lol

Editorial: Fixing the NSA
President Obama and Congress appear to be moving closer to a consensus on how to respond to the disclosure that the National Security Agency has been sucking up Americans' telephone metadata.
This is only one aspect of concerns about the NSA that tumbled out of the documents revealed by Edward Snowden, the former contractor who leaked them and then fled the country, winding up in Russia. But congressional action on this issue would be a good start and ought to be at the top of the agenda.
To remind: Telephone metadata holds the details of calls between people — numbers called, time and date. It does not include the actual content of the calls. Congress approved changes to the law after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to give the NSA broad writ to retain this metadata to search out potential terrorist and other threats.
While no one has identified a specific person who was hurt by this surveillance, in some sense everyone's privacy was dented. Public opinion is divided, but in recent months there's been a growing unease with the NSA programs that scoop up so much information about everyday phone calls.
We have been here before, but we haven't. In 1975, the investigation of the intelligence agencies led by Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, found that Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon pushed the FBI and CIA to surveil antiwar activists, and information was collected on some 300,000 people. From 1952 until 1973, the CIA ran an unlawful mail intercept program that, in its last year in New York, opened some 8,700 items and photographed the outside of 33,000.
The Church Committee warned in 1976, "in an era where the technological capability of Government relentlessly increases, we must be wary about the drift toward 'big brother government.' " The committee was prescient, although no one back then could have imagined that nearly four decades later, the NSA would be vacuuming up several billion records a day.
The president has proposed that bulk telephone metadata remain with the phone companies. To get access in all but emergencies, the government would need an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and queries would be limited to two hops from the original search, to prevent unbridled fishing expeditions.
Leaders of the House Intelligence Committee have offered a somewhat different approach, which would require the court's approval after the fact. Proposals in the Senate would impose greater hurdles. Congress needs to hammer this out. The president has given authorization for the current program to continue for 90 more days. We hope he won't have to do that over and over again.
The country needs a robust, agile and effective NSA in a dangerous world. Nothing should be done that would crimp its ability to collect foreign intelligence. But intelligence agencies also need the confidence of the American people. The latest disclosures have bruised that confidence. It is time for a reasonable fix.

Now the real question is: what is the problem with the iron? And is it just unsafe for the LEDs or is it also unsafe for me to touch? How can I get around this problem? Should I take it back to the store saying that it's not working properly? Or is this something normal? Assuming that this should not happen normally and that it's not just a problem with my iron, but a problem with all the irons of the same type, what kind of soldering iron should I get instead? What detail should I pay attention to?
Why don't you take a AC voltage reading between your iron tip and an independent path to your power ground when the iron is turned on
QuoteWhy don't you take a AC voltage reading between your iron tip and an independent path to your power ground when the iron is turned onIn other words take an AC voltage reading with a multimeter between the iron's tip and the grounding in the wall socket?YesThe iron doesn't need to be turned on the light the LEDs when touching them. I just needs to be plugged in.Turn the iron on for the test, but no LEDs required, just measure for AC voltage from tip to ground while powered up. Obviously you can't leave your meter lead on the hot iron for too long.I wonder if I can demand changing it in the store because of this... I mean, is this a defect or it's just a poor model?Make the test first. I searched a little for this product description but can't find anywhere where it states it's a grounded iron tip or that it offers ESD protection which is the same thing.Lefty

The Bears must make one more roster move by 3 p.m. Tuesday to reach the NFL limit of 75 players and the final spot could come from quarterback Matt Blanchard.
The second-year player from Wis.-Whitewater suffered a fractured knuckle on his left, non-throwing hand in the second exhibition game, and the team could clear the spot with Blanchard by reaching an injury settlement.
The Bears were pleased with the development of the undrafted free agent from a year ago during the offseason but the injury, which occurred when he was sacked on a botched screen pass against the Chargers, complicated matters. The team might have been aiming to move Blanchard to the practice squad after final cuts but now that he is injured, Blanchard can seek a settlement from the team commensurate to the number of weeks he is expected to miss.
If the team reaches a settlement with Blanchard, he would not be eligible to re-join the team until after Week 10. That would create the possibility Blanchard could sign with another team after he is healthy and the time frame for the settlement is complete.
Jordan Palmer will start Thursday night against the Browns at Soldier Field and Trent Edwards is expected to relieve him. The Bears could release both Palmer and Edwards at final cuts and one or both could still be on the street in the event a need came up during the season. In that event, the team would have a veteran with a working knowledge of Marc Trestman's offense. Starter Jay Cutler and backup Josh McCown will not play against Cleveland.
