For gifts by mail, please make checks payable to UMCOR and mail to UMCOR, P.O. Box 9068, New York, NY 10087. Please indicate Haiti Emergency, UMCOR Advance #418325 on the memo line of your check. One hundred percent of gifts made to this advance will go to help the people of Haiti.
What is UMCOR doing in Haiti right now?
The best way to stay current about UMCOR's work in Haiti is to visit www.umrespond.org There you will find current news, worship resources, videos, and ways to give and help. An overview of UMCOR's five-year plan can be found here:
Who will receive UMCOR's help?
The primary beneficiaries will be those who have been most affected by the earthquake, as well as those who have been under-served by other relief providers. UMCOR is working in partnership with the Eglise Methodiste d'Haiti (EMH), as well as international and local NGO's to extend outreach and avoid duplication of efforts.
Can UMCOR help individual people in need of help?
UMCOR takes special care based on comprehensive criteria to select the communities in which we work. It is not possible for UMCOR to help individuals. We encourage concerned individuals to please speak with the local church to explore avenues of support.
I want to adopt a child from Haiti. Can UMCOR help or refer me?
UMCOR does not facilitate adoptions. But please consider calling the US State Department at 1.888.407.4747, or email adoptionusca@stategov for more information.
How can I make a gift to UMCOR's Haiti Emergency Relief?
Gifts to Haiti can be made online by visiting www.umcorhaiti.org. For gifts by mail, please make checks payable to UMCOR and mail to UMCOR, PO Box 9068, New York, NY 10087. Please indicate Haiti Emergency, UMCOR Advance #418325 on the memo line of your check.
Can I take a deduction for my charitable gift to UMCOR?
Yes. Taxpayers may make the deduction on the 2009 or 2010 returns, but not both. Please visit www.irs.gov for more details.
I want to donate to UMCOR online. Can my church, district, or conference receive credit?
Yes. Online giving allows for the charitable gift to be linked to your conference, your district, and your local church.
My local congregation was not listed in the online list.
To find your conference and district, go to www.umc.org. Locate the tab labeled "Our Church", and click on the sub-heading "Structure & Organization". Under the "Organization" heading, you can locate districts and conferences. If you still cannot find your church, please make a gift by check and include the name and address of your local church with your contribution.
I want to donate clothing, medical equipment, school books, or other material goods to the people of Haiti? Can I send them to UMCOR?
Because of shipping, distribution, and practical concerns, we are unable to accept these kinds of gifts. Please consider your local thrift shop to help those in need in your local community.
I would like to donate tents to Haiti. Does UMCOR accept such donations?
UMCOR is following the guidelines of the United Nations Shelter Cluster Group to design long-term solutions for shelter. Because of the time and cost to ship tents, as well as the very temporary nature of them, UMCOR is not accepting donations of tents.
How can I assemble and ship health kits, birthing kits or layette kits?
UMCOR Sager Brown is coordinating shipments of health, birthing and layette kits to provide communities with basic necessities. See instructions for assembling and shipping health kits here, or go to www.umrespond.org and click on the relief supplies link.
Please ship kits to the nearest UMC warehouse/facility for forwarding to UMCOR Sager Brown. UMCOR's plan is to keep the health kits going into Haiti. In preparing for shipments, there is plenty of space at the UMCOR Sager Brown Depot and at the UMCOR West Office and Depot. UMCOR is working with conference/jurisdictional owned warehouses such as Midwest Mission Distribution Center (Illinois), Mission Response Center (Western North Carolina), MERCI (North Carolina), Mission Central (Central Penn.), Eastbrook Mission Barn (Western Penn.) and staging areas in several conferences.
UMCOR continues to ship kits to other countries as well as to respond to Haiti needs.
From what we see on the news, it's going to be very difficult to deliver health kits. Is it better just to send cash?
Cash donations are always the fastest way for UMCOR to get aid to Haiti. But, school kits, birthing kits and layette kits are also needed. UMCOR is positioning operations to be able to receive, warehouse and distribute the kits. Please visit www.umrespond.org, which outlines the most current needs.
Your gift to Material Resources, UMCOR Advance #901440 allows Sager Brown to purchase relief supplies.
What is UMCOR doing for Haitian immigrants in the US?
Please read the following articles on what UMCOR is doing to help Haitian immigrants.
JFON Helps US Haitians Find Balance
Aftershock Reaches Haitians in the US
For more information on how UMCOR is helping Haitians and other immigrants through it's Justice for Our Neighbors program, please click here.
What is the U.S. government doing to assist Haitians in the U.S. following the earth quake?
The U.S. government has offered Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Haitian immigrants, which will allow them to stay and work in the U.S. for a period of 18 months starting January 21, 2010. This status is available only to Haitians who were present in the U.S. on January 12, 2010 (the day of the earthquake) and is not available to Haitians who arrived in the country after that date. For full details of requirements and qualifications, check the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website. The deadline for application is July 20, 2010.
In addition, the U.S. government will consider expediting pending immigration processes involving Haitian families, specifically the adoption of Haitian orphans if the process was already underway prior to the earthquake. Haitian families with pending immigration processes should contact USCIS at 1-800-375-5283.
Matters concerning the adoption of Haitian orphans should be brought to the Department of Homeland Security at firstname.lastname@example.com. For questions and answers of concern to U.S. citizens in the Haiti adoption process, please click here.
Will the U.S. government allow Haitians to seek refuge in the U.S.?
The government has indicated that it does not plan to create an immigration or refugee path for Haitians affected by the earthquake to come to the U.S. because it believes that rebuilding efforts will require all existing Haitian national resources. The TPS program is geared specifically to Haitian immigrants who were in the U.S. on the day of the earthquake. The government has indicated it would turn new Haitian arrivals back to Haiti.
In rare cases, Haitians hurt in the earthquake have been brought to the U.S. for medical care via USCIS' humanitarian parole provision. UMCOR's Refugee Ministry, in concert with Church World Service, is offering support to those Haitians wounded in the earthquake who have been evacuated to the United States. For more information, click here.
Are there "Haitian refugees" in the U.S. as a result of the earthquake?
In the immigration and human rights context, "refugees" are displaced people who, due to well-founded fear of persecution, have fled their homeland. Based on this traditional international law concept, there is no refugee process to admit Haitians into the U.S. who have been affected the earthquake. However, the U.S. government has the authority to grant humanitarian parole to Haitians or persons of any nationality if it deems such action appropriate. There are indications that the government has granted such parole in rare cases. Humanitarian parole provides for no bridge to permanent resident status or U.S. citizenship.
How can we reach out to find people who may have spiritual, emotional or other needs associated with the disaster in Haiti?
- Identify communities where Haitians and Haitian-Americans are living.
- Talk with clergy and spiritual leaders in those communities. ASK: Do they want your help? If so, what is needed?
- Reach out to local organizations that serve Haitians and ask if you can volunteer in some way
- Contact UMCOR's JFON program and volunteer to help out at an immigration clinic in your area.
How can we show we care for and about people in our own communities who have loved ones in Haiti?
- Americans seeking information on family in Haiti can call 1.888.407.4747
- Prayer services, fund raisers, kit ministries – all of these communal activities provide opportunities for people to feel connected and to "act locally."
- For more information on Kit Ministries and Relief Supplies, click here.
Where can I find press releases, PowerPoint presentations, bulletin inserts, and flyers about supporting UMCOR in Haiti?
Please visit www.umrespond.org for downloadable resources and up-to-date information about UMCOR's relief efforts.
Press Inquiries
Please direct all press inquiries about UMCOR's response to Melissa Hinnen, director of UMCOR communications, at 212.870.3808. If she is not available, please direct the inquiry to Linda Unger, staff writer for UMCOR, at 212.870.3815.
Why is UMCOR not listed in some press lists of organizations providing recovery work in Haiti?
UMCOR has contacted all of the major media outlets and submitted information as requested to be listed with them. Each company makes its own decision about which organization to list. We encourage you to reach out to them as a viewer or reader to ask them to include UMCOR.
UMCOR guarantees that 100 percent of every gift made to a specific UMCOR project like Haiti Emergency is spent on that project, and not on home office costs. United Methodists' gifts to the One Great Hour of Sharing offering underwrite UMCOR's "costs of doing business."
UMCOR is a recipient of two top rating honors issued by Charity Navigator and the American Institute of Philanthropy, which attest to UMCOR's sound financial accountability and good stewardship.
UMCOR is one of three organizations working in Haiti to receive an A+ rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP), a nonprofit charity watchdog and information service. The A+ rating means that UMCOR maximizes the effectiveness of every dollar contributed to it. Only a select number of more than 500 charities qualify for AIP's "top-rated" listing.
UMCOR also has a coveted four-star rating for sound fiscal management from Charity Navigator, the nation's largest and most utilized evaluator of charities. The four-star "exceptional" designation indicates that UMCOR executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way.
UMCOR undertakes both periodic internal audits and annual OMB A-133 Audits, and maintains low-risk auditee status with the U.S. government.
As a member of InterAction, the largest coalition of U.S.-based international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) focused on the world's poor and most vulnerable people, UMCOR holds itself to a set of industry standards via a comprehensive, bi-annual self-certification process.
Could you please advise how quickly funds are disbursed?
As soon as donations are received at UMCOR, they are put into the Haiti Relief fund to be available as needs are assessed and grants approved. To be accountable to our donors, release of the funds follows a set procedure, including approval by our board of directors.
UMCOR funds have been flowing into Haiti since the first week of the emergency. We sent an emergency grant to the Methodist Church in Haiti and provided grants to other partners there based on their requests. UMCOR NGO is working on the ground, and funds have been made available to help the field office in its mission. We are aware that the extensive needs generated by the earthquake will require a long-term commitment. UMCOR is disbursing funds received in a responsible and transparent way to meet the needs of every stage of the emergency.
I am concerned that UMCOR does not meet the Better Business Bureau standards.
In 2007 the BBB changed their standard, so they are now more stringent and, in some cases, more narrow in their scope. This is the case with standards 6, 7 and 12, which the BBB reports UMCOR does not meet.
Standards 6 and 7 both have to do with how we report the results of our work to our board of directors. The BBB standard 6 deals directly with assessment and standard 7 with our written reports. At our semiannual meetings, UMCOR provides its directors with progress reports on all areas of our work, as well as detailed financial reports. All financial actions are approved by our directors at that time or by a subcommittee designed to approve the release of funds for needs that require response between meetings. UMCOR employs an internal auditor who reviews the financial integrity of our programs and we also use monitoring and evaluation systems to ensure the effectiveness of our work. These reports come to our board in the form of a staff report on programs, a financial report and internal and external audit reports. These reports are not a single document because of the committee structure of UMCOR, which is a part of the General Board of Global Ministries.
We believe that our reporting more than adequately addresses the spirit behind standards 6 and 7. We have shared all of this information and more with the BBB to seek compliance to standards 6 and 7, but they do not accept these procedures as qualifying.
Standard 12 requires that a detailed breakdown of expenses by natural classification be included in our financial statements. The audited financial statements are prepared on a standard basis across The United Methodist Church and these are not included in any of the financial statements. However, we issue this detailed breakdown of expenses by natural classification in our financial disclosure report which is given to our board of directors and is available to anyone who requests it. This report also includes a detailed listing of grants made by UMCOR. This is not part of UMCOR's official financial statements and therefore the BBB does not see this as meeting standard 12. However, it needs to be recognized that UMCOR is following the policy of the United Methodist Church as a whole.
We hope this clarifies the review we received by the BBB. UMCOR has always and will continue to work with utmost transparency and integrity to alleviate the suffering of the world's most vulnerable people in the name of United Methodists everywhere.
Continue to support UMCOR's relief efforts in Haiti by giving to Haiti Emergency, UMCOR Advance #418325.

Carl Friedrich Gauss
From Wikiquote
Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855) was a German mathematician, astronomer and physicist.
- But in our opinion truths of this kind should be drawn from notions rather than from notations.
- About the proof of Wilson's theorem. Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (1801) Article 76
- The problem of distinguishing prime numbers from composite numbers and of resolving the latter into their prime factors is known to be one of the most important and useful in arithmetic. It has engaged the industry and wisdom of ancient and modern geometers to such an extent that it would be superfluous to discuss the problem at length. ... Further, the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated.
- Problema, numeros primos a compositis dignoscendi, hosque in factores suos primos resolvendi, ad gravissima ac utilissima totius arithmeticae pertinere, et geometrarum tum veterum tum recentiorum industriam ac sagacitatem occupavisse, tam notum est, ut de hac re copiose loqui superfluum foret. ... [P]raetereaque scientiae dignitas requirere videtur, ut omnia subsidia ad solutionem problematis tam elegantis ac celebris sedulo excolantur.
- Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (1801): Article 329
- The enchanting charms of this sublime science reveal themselves in all their beauty only to those who have the courage to go deeply into it. But when a person of that sex, that, because of our mores and our prejudices, has to encounter infinitely more obstacles and difficulties than men in familiarizing herself with these thorny research problems, nevertheless succeeds in surmounting these obstacles and penetrating their most obscure parts, she must without doubt have the noblest courage, quite extraordinary talents and superior genius.
- Letter to Sophie Germain (30 April 1807) ([...]; les charmes enchanteurs de cette sublime science ne se décèlent dans toute leur beauté qu'à ceux qui ont le courage de l'approfondir. Mais lorsqu'une personne de ce sexe, qui, par nos meurs [sic] et par nos préjugés, doit rencontrer infiniment plus d'obstacles et de difficultés, que les hommes, à se familiariser avec ces recherches épineuses, sait néanmoins franchir ces entraves et pénétrer ce qu'elles ont de plus caché, il faut sans doute, qu'elle ait le plus noble courage, des talents tout à fait extraordinaires, le génie superieur.)
- It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment. [Wahrlich es ist nicht das Wissen, sondern das Lernen, nicht das Besitzen sondern das Erwerben, nicht das Da-Seyn, sondern das Hinkommen, was den grössten Genuss gewährt.] When I have clarified and exhausted a subject, then I turn away from it, in order to go into darkness again. The never-satisfied man is so strange; if he has completed a structure, then it is not in order to dwell in it peacefully, but in order to begin another. I imagine the world conqueror must feel thus, who, after one kingdom is scarcely conquered, stretches out his arms for others.
- Letter to Farkas Bolyai (2 September 1808)
- I mean the word proof not in the sense of the lawyers, who set two half proofs equal to a whole one, but in the sense of a mathematician, where ½ proof = 0, and it is demanded for proof that every doubt becomes impossible.
- In a letter to Heinrich Wilhelm Matthias Olbers (14 May 1826), defending Chevalier d'Angos against presumption of guilt (by Johann Franz Encke and others), of having falsely claimed to have discovered a comet in 1784; as quoted in Calculus Gems (1992) by George F. Simmons
- We must admit with humility that, while number is purely a product of our minds, space has a reality outside our minds, so that we cannot completely prescribe its properties a priori.
- Letter to Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (1830)
- To praise it would amount to praising myself. For the entire content of the work ... coincides almost exactly with my own meditations which have occupied my mind for the past thirty or thirty-five years.
- Letter to Farkas Bolyai, on his son János Bolyai's 1832 publishings on non-Euclidean geometry.
- I will add that I have recently received from Hungary a little paper on non-Euclidean geometry in which I rediscover all my own ideas and results worked out with great elegance... The writer is a very young Austrian officer, the son of one of my early friends, with whom I often discussed the subject in 1798, although my ideas were at that time far removed from the development and maturity which they have received through the original reflections of this young man. I consider the young geometer J. Bolyai a genius of the first rank.
- Letter to Gerling (1832)
- Mathematics is the queen of the sciences.
- As quoted in Gauss zum Gedächtniss (1856) by Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen; Variants: Mathematics is the queen of sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics. She often condescends to render service to astronomy and other natural sciences, but in all relations she is entitled to the first rank.
Mathematics is the queen of the sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics. [Die Mathematik ist die Königin der Wissenschaften und die Zahlentheorie ist die Königin der Mathematik.]
- As quoted in Gauss zum Gedächtniss (1856) by Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen; Variants: Mathematics is the queen of sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics. She often condescends to render service to astronomy and other natural sciences, but in all relations she is entitled to the first rank.
- It may be true, that men, who are mere mathematicians, have certain specific shortcomings, but that is not the fault of mathematics, for it is equally true of every other exclusive occupation. So there are mere philologists, mere jurists, mere soldiers, mere merchants, etc. To such idle talk it might further be added: that whenever a certain exclusive occupation is coupled with specific shortcomings, it is likewise almost certainly divorced from certain other shortcomings.
- Gauss-Schumacher Briefwechsel (1862)
- Ask her to wait a moment— I am almost done.
- When told, while working, that his wife was dying. As quoted in Men of Mathematics (1937) by E. T. Bell
- I have had my results for a long time: but I do not yet know how I am to arrive at them.
- The Mind and the Eye (1954) by A. Arber
- If others would but reflect on mathematical truths as deeply and as continuously as I have, they would make my discoveries.
- The World of Mathematics (1956) Edited by J. R. Newman
- I confess that Fermat's Theorem as an isolated proposition has very little interest for me, because I could easily lay down a multitude of such propositions, which one could neither prove nor dispose of.
- A reply to Olbers' 1816 attempt to entice him to work on Fermat's Theorem. As quoted in The World of Mathematics (1956) Edited by J. R. Newman
- There are problems to whose solution I would attach an infinitely greater importance than to those of mathematics, for example touching ethics, or our relation to God, or concerning our destiny and our future; but their solution lies wholly beyond us and completely outside the province of science.
- As quoted in The World of Mathematics (1956) Edited by J. R. Newman
- Finally, two days ago, I succeeded— not on account of my hard efforts, but by the grace of the Lord. Like a sudden flash of lightning, the riddle was solved. I am unable to say what was the conducting thread that connected what I previously knew with what made my success possible.
- Mathematical Circles Squared (1972) by Howard W. Eves
- I believe you are more believing in the Bible than I. I am not, and, you are much happier than I.
- A reply to Rudolf Wagner's on his religious views as quoted in Carl Friedrich Gauss: Titan of Science (2004) by Guy Waldo Dunnington. p. 305.
- A great part of its theories derives an additional charm from the peculiarity that important propositions, with the impress of simplicity on them, are often easily discovered by induction, and yet are of so profound a character that we cannot find the demonstrations till after many vain attempts; and even then, when we do succeed, it is often by some tedious and artificial process, while the simple methods may long remain concealed.
- On higher arithmetic. Mathematical Circles Adieu (1977) by Howard W. Eves
- I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect. . . Geometry should be ranked, not with arithmetic, which is purely aprioristic, but with mechanics.
- As quoted in Solid Shape (1990) by Jan J. Koenderink
- You know that I write slowly. This is chiefly because I am never satisfied until I have said as much as possible in a few words, and writing briefly takes far more time than writing at length.
- As quoted in Calculus Gems (1992) by George F. Simmons
- In general the position as regards all such new calculi is this - That one cannot accomplish by them anything that could not be accomplished without them. However, the advantage is, that, provided such a calculus corresponds to the inmost nature of frequent needs, anyone who masters it thoroughly is able - without the unconscious inspiration of genius which no one can command - to solve the respective problems, yea to solve them mechanically in complicated cases in which, without such aid, even genius becomes powerless. Such is the case with the invention of general algebra, with the differential calculus, and in a more limited region with Lagrange's calculus of variations, with my calculus of congruences, and with Mobius's calculus. Such conceptions unite, as it were, into an organic whole countless problems which otherwise would remain isolated and require for their separate solution more or less application of inventive genius.
- As quoted in Gauss, Werke, Bd. 8, page 298
- As quoted in Memorabilia Mathematica (or The Philomath's Quotation-Book) (1914) by Robert Edouard Moritz, quotation #1215
- As quoted in The First Systems of Weighted Differential and Integral Calculus (1980) by Jane Grossman, Michael Grossman, and Robert Katz, page ii
Quotes about Gauss[edit]
- Not only could nobody but Gauss have produced it, but it would never have occurred to anyone but Gauss that such a formula was possible.
- Of Gauss' formula for finding the date of Passover; Albert Einstein, quoted in Schocken, W. A. (1976): The Calculated Confusion of Calendars, pub. Vantage Press
- If explaining minds seems harder than explaining songs, we should remember that sometimes enlarging problems makes them simpler! The theory of the roots of equations seemed hard for centuries within its little world of real numbers, but it suddenly seemed simple once Gauss exposed the larger world of so-called complex numbers. Similarly, music should make more sense once seen through listeners' minds.
- According to his frequently expressed view, Gauss considered the three dimensions of space as specific peculiarities of the human soul; people, which are unable to comprehend this, he designated in his humorous mood by the name Bœotians. We could imagine ourselves, he said, as beings which are conscious of but two dimensions; higher beings might look at us in a like manner, and continuing jokingly, he said that he had laid aside certain problems which, when in a higher state of being, he hoped to investigate geometrically.
- Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen in Gauss zum Gedächtniss (1856)
The Music of the Primes (2003)[edit]
- Quotations about some of the work of Gauss from a book about Prime Numbers by Marcus du Sautoy, professor of mathematics at Oxford University
- Gauss liked to call [number theory] 'the Queen of Mathematics'. For Gauss, the jewels in the crown were the primes, numbers which had fascinated and teased generations of mathematicians.
- Armed with his prime number tables, Gauss began his quest. As he looked at the proportion of numbers that were prime, he found that when he counted higher and higher a pattern started to emerge. Despite the randomness of these numbers, a stunning regularity seemed to be looming out of the mist.
- The revelation that the graph appears to climb so smoothly, even though the primes themselves are so unpredictable, is one of the most miraculous in mathematics and represents one of the high points in the story of the primes. On the back page of his book of logarithms, Gauss recorded the discovery of his formula for the number of primes up to N in terms of the logarithm function. Yet despite the importance of the discovery, Gauss told no one what he had found. The most the world heard of his revelation were the cryptic words, 'You have no idea how much poetry there is in a table of logarithms.'
- Maybe we have become so hung up on looking at the primes from Gauss's and Riemann's perspective that what we are missing is simply a different way to understand these enigmatic numbers. Gauss gave an estimate for the number of primes, Riemann predicted that the guess is at worst the square root of N off its mark, Littlewood showed that you can't do better than this. Maybe there is an alternative viewpoint that no one has found because we have become so culturally attached to the house that Gauss built.

Are you into road course races ? I'm definately not ! I mean what's the big deal about sitting in the grandstands, or for that matter in your recliner at home in front of the boob tube, watching race cars go by, at hopefully high speeds, every few minutes ? To me, that's a good excuse to catch a few winks on a Sunday afternoon ! Speaking of which, why are they running this race on Sunday? They don't have Saturdays in Mexico?
As far as I'm concerned the "Corona Mexico 200" race, or any other road course race, is way over rated !!! Why do we have to have "International" races anyway? I won't even get off on the subject of costs involved. NASCAR is always so concerned about cutting costs of these races but they don't seem to mind making this race mandatory to the team owners. Can you even imagine the costs just to secure all the rigs and equipment while in that country ? I'm not even talking about the fuel costs for the rigs to drive down there, the hotel bills etc. etc.
By the way, where is JPM? I thought that he was the Super Star of road course races and he isn't even on the entry list, not to mention the race line up, what's up with that ? Someone told me that he is getting ready for the Talladega race next week. What? Is he at the race track practicing and running qualifying laps all by himself ? I say you either know how to drive or you don't, Senior Montoya.
I caught a glimpse of the qualifying this morning. I guess Cousin Carl thought he had the Pole but guess what? A 19 year old "Rookie" got the Pole ! That's right, Colin Braun is sitting on the Pole at a road course race. Way to go kid !!!
For those of you who brave the Corona Mexico 200, enjoy. As for me I think I'll be in my recliner catching a few zzzzz. Oh, and don't bother waking me when it's finally over cause I DON'T CARE who wins ! Unless of course it's David Reutimann !!! GO "REUTI" GO !!!

The All-American Rejects
73 Songs
About The All-American Rejects

Ditto Here Bobby...no posting capability until today...which for me is a good thing. Workouts were OK but my eating was in the crapper!
Took my teenager to a concert in a town about 3.5 hours away one way...fast food on the way home... I indulged...Felt terrible the next day.
I guess my body is really trying to tell me those fast food days are over...I guess that is some sort of progress...right?
Anyway, hope all is strong with the group this week!
I am not going to tell you that it will be easy ... I am going to tell you that it will be worth it!
Hay 9er's took a few weeks off now I am back. Went hiking the last two weekends and I am also working on my 5k time I am hoping to get it down to 21 minutes by the 4th of July we will see if I can get my time down to a 7 minute mile by then, I will keep you all posted.
I also wasn't able to post I thought it was something with my computer or something I kinda started freaking out.
Soccermom we both can do this my time frame is much shorter than yours, but we can do it. I am excited to see everyone on here and some new people. I hope everyone has a great day and it's very nice being back.
@ run- I know... I had some clam chowder and a roll and a few choc chip cookies and I was feeling it! And not in a good way! I guess we are becoming finely tuned eating machines...:)
@ tulip- 7 minute miles...smokin' !! I remember at my prime I ran a 6:45...for 1 mile and it was down hill!
@tonja- no weight loss since last weigh-in, or no loss in the 11 weeks?! How's your pants fitting?
We are entering the phase where the bloom is off the rose and it is time to get down and dirty and start doing this with a freakin' vengence, so Let's Go!
@Bobby - I am just staying at the same wieght 3rd weigh in and just hopeful that I changed from afterwork workouts to morning would make that scale go down - being hopeful. Clothes are fitting looser and I feel so much better than I did before starting BFL.
@tulip---glad to see you here. 7 minute mile is smokin but you can do it!
Over the weekend I went to Laurel, In and competed in the Spartan Sprint Race. That was one of the things I was going to do after C1. I finished in 1hr 27min and 14 sec landing in 311th place, out of 2400 people. In my age group I was 25th out of 100. Overall I am very happy with my results. After C2 I plan on doing something else along those lines. I gotta tell ya, that was the single hardest thing I have ever done physically but it sure was fun!
Week 3 here we come---Go 9ers
Tonja, remember that if you are following the letter of the challenge, you are building muscle as you are losing fat...muscle takes up 1/3 the space of fat...keep up the good work.
Bobby - like your enthusiasm. Crank it bro!
I just did 5/25 lower with 2 minute rests per sets and finished up with AbRipper for a FULL Lower body workout. I really like the Transformer (jury's still out for the upper, however). I will probably switch out every other LBWO with it to be sure that I keep my Leg Biceps and quads growing at an even rate.
Diet is spot on for the 3rd week in a row! Have another test this week in Atlanta (including two happy hours scheduled). Wish me luck
Thanks Frick, you are right, but a girl is just hopeful! I am definately building muscle! I picked up a 25lb dumbell & one of the guys just gave me that look this morning. Good luck with your 2 happy hours - that would be rough for me!
Crawfish on the menu? I can wait till my free day, but it sounds so good with corn & potatoes. I better get home & grill some fish.
2 weeks left & finishing strong! Diet is on track too.
7 minute mile geez - you guys are my hero(s), but I am just starting to run. I'm scared to even time myself - just running is an accomplishment.
I have lost 4 lbs of pure body fat!! in 4 weeks! The scale shows a 2lb loss, I was able to calculate my Lean Body Mass to determine if i am losing in the right amount of weight...and it's true...the fat is coming off!
i took my 4 week photos, and I do see small shirkage in the waist. I am in this for the long haul, so I continue to takeit one day at a time.
cals are right at 1630!
keep up the good work all!
Do NOT rely on the scale!! Why are you doing that to yourself. The scale ONLY shows a number... It does not show if you lost FAt or you lost muscle mass, or if you gained fat or gained muscle.
I can almost guarentee you are losing fat and gaining muscle...no scale will tell you that.
I have been calculating my weight and BF% from the beginning. The scale as of now, says i lost 2 lbs. , but my calculations show I lost 4 lbs of body fat and gained 1.75 lbs of muscle mass.
This why I do manual calculations to determine where I am losing and gaining. ...
Here are the calculations:
LBM (Lean body mass)
total weight (scale weight) - Body fat= LBM
Body fat
weight x BF% = total body fat
I missed you guys!! I tried all weekend and no luck. Bobby, my experience was the same. It was a little frustrating.
I have a post all ready to go and will pop that on later, but I wanted to quickly say ,"hello" and welcome to week 3.
Great job rockinroe!!! You have to be happy with those results. I'm going to weigh at end of week 4, but I have been taking measurements and they are going down. Are you going to post your pictures or do a big reveal at the end?
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
Wow tulip a 7 min mile...did you get a speeding ticket...like bobby...I have not seen that speed in quite a while...like since my youth! Great Job!
Tonja - In my first complete BFL, I did not see any change in the weight the last third of the 12 weeks and even my measurements stayed the same for the last three weeks. It was demoralizing until I looked at those 8 wk to 12 wk photos and they showed some improvement (muscle replacing fat). Enough to keep me motivated. So, while the scale and the tape can lie...I think Bobby is one to something here. The pants and the photos tell the truth. Hang in there. Change is happening!
RockingRoe - Smokin' job!
Perth - glad progress is being made!
For me today, I had a visit to the dentist and he said I can keep eating so that means I have to do this portion food control thing all on my own ;-)
Cardio today, 30 minute repeat elliptical. I stayed within the program parameters and decided not to rock it higher like I have been. I also did a plank...and here is where I am in trouble group. I was on another blog here at BFL that I hang with. Well some of those 'Crossfit' folks got to talkin' about planks and I did a 60 second one that day. Felt great. So, I got full of myself and a little ahead of myself and told the group I want to set a goal of a five minute plank. Then I shut the computer off and want to bed.
As I kept lying in bed...thoughts were going through my head ..."5 minute plank...what the he!! was I thinking...I don't even know if that is realistic let alone how to train for that."
Finally, I fell to sleep and when I woke up the next day and for the next couple days no one there on the blog commented about my plank goal....my thoughts...I am off the hook...it slid off the web pages never to be revisited again. After all, who has time to read back web pages...right...Except for Lauren (God Bless her -who has accepted my 5 minute plank challenge). Today, I did a 90 second plank... movin' up in the time on the 5 minute plank challenge, but it is getting harder and you know the seconds are actually longer [in time] as you move through time towards a five minute goal {don't try to convince me otherwise!}. I still do not know if this is a realistic goal ...I do know when I was done with the 90 second plank, my abs were rocked...my back was rocked....my upper arms and shoulders – rocked! It felt like an amazing work out. So I am putting it into the routine. Anyone here want to join in this madness...(a desperate cry for help and companionship on my part).
Anyway hope it is all good 9ers....I really missed you guys and gals the past several days.
Hey 9'ers - It finally happened! The thing I have silently harbored since Jan 9th! - I got my first unsolicited compliment from someone outside my family! A couple of gals from Zumba class have been gone about 3 weeks, came back today and they came over to tell me I had "shrunk"! They wanted to know what I had done - "Body for Life, ladies!" "Oh ya'" says one "I have that book."
People know about BFL, but until you have that "mental shift", personally, nothing is ever going to change. So I'm asking you, my friends, what was it for you? I'm sure we have all said a million times "Gee, I wish I could get into shape and lose some weight....." What made you change? There must have been something, or none of us would be here, right?
Hey Francine! Good to hear from you again!
BartM - the Spartan Race! Wow, Good for you! I just watched one last year and thought " These guys are crazy!" I'm impressed!
Tonja - You go girl - keep impressing those guys at the gym! But I am with you on the running. It's all new to me. My husband is flabbergasted that I have even tried. He has NEVER seen me run...... But I'm even getting a little better.
Rockin' Roe - concerning the scale - I still love the quote from "someone" at the beginning of C1 about "not trusting the RNG - random number generator". Still makes me laugh, I use that term all the time.
Run4 - No way am I biting for that 5 min. plank! But I will be here, in my cheerleader uniform, waiting for updates, since I really don't think you want off the hook. LOL!
Keep up the good work gang!
Looks like everyone is doing pretty darn good! I had to double up tonight and do lower and cardio since I had company all weekend and missed Sunday only (Friday is my free day). I am heading into week 3 feeling a little lighter and my clothes are not so snug. YAY!!!!
~Nothing changes until SOMETHING changes~
Run, I'm intrigued by this 5 minute plank business, BUT do think that 5 minutes is a long time! Can it be done? Is it possible? Well, let's see.... I put faith in my pal - google - and found this routine - a 5 minute plank routine. You move around every 5-15 seconds, which actually seems like it would help pass the time. This guy even has a 5 minute static plank video - so it is possible, which means IT CAN BE DONE!
Links below:
Now, as for companions to accept this challenge with you. Hmmm..... I have a weak core, so this is a challenge I should do, but I'm starting out with a 30 sec plank at the moment. I would very much like to incorporate this "challenge" into my goals, but I'm not convinced it's possible for me. We shall see....
So, is the goal to be able to do 5 minutes of any type plank at end of week 12? Can we move around?
Hi All-
Things are going well here in London. I missed the forum while it was down. The hubby and I just finished our fourth week, took photos, and you can definitely see a difference. Still a long way to go, though. I'll get them off the camera and post them for you guys.
RockinRoe, Fantastic job on that fat loss! That's fabulous!
Tonja, I'm with you: just running feels like an accomplishment on my end. My HIIT workout is about 1.5 miles in 20 minutes. Not breaking any records, but it's still a stretch for me. Progress, not perfection!
I've been experimenting with eating breakfast before exercising, and I've found that when I do, it makes it even harder to get out the door. So I'm contemplating making a lifestyle switch and rolling out of bed to do cardio every weekday morning (HIIT for 3 days), getting up with my husband and walking out the door with him at 8:30am. It feels hard to give up my days of sleeping in, but I think my body will be much happier with a really regular schedule. I'll keep you guys updated on how it goes.
Tonja, was it you who switched to early morning workouts these last couple weeks? How's it going?

3325 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8910936.122386 -115.168712
Neighborhoods: Paradise
A bar lounge with great music. A small place with great table service. Come here with a group friends that have a good time. You'll have a great time!
get on the list! – For guestlist / bottle service send me an email with "guest list" in the subject line and
how many people in the party (girls and guys). my email is LVguestlist@gmail.
Terrible dining experience – I can't rate LAVO as a club, but my dining experience there was terrible. The music was so loud it was impossible to carry on a conversation with anyone at the table. The service was extremely slow and the dining area was so cramped I had people running into me the entire meal. Once our food finally did arrive, the waiter informed me that my meal had been dropped and it would be another 15-20 minutes- I did not receive any comps for having my food dropped after already waiting an hour and a half.
I ordered the veal parmigiana and my meal was mediocre at best; it was smothered and tomato sauce and drowned in cheese- so much so that you couldn't even taste the veal.
it's just vegas – if you are out in vegas to party you will love this place. if you are in vegas to not party and to have decent italian food, you better go to another place. this is more a bar/lounge/restaurant/club(upstairs).
it looks quite nice, the design of the restaurant is well done. we had dinner here after a show at the hotel. we received mediocre italian dishes. i had tempura crab as appetizer...well it's tempura...there isn't much you can screw up on it...
my main course was grilled tuna with roasted artichokes, which was quite good. the tuna was very fresh, the artichokes were very tasty as well, unfotunately too salty though... my husband had veal parmigiano which was a slice of veal with ton of tomato sauce and cheese on top of it. and this was a dish any new york pizza place could have done better. overall, i doubt i would want to go back and eat here again. for drinks and party time this is a great place, but that's it...
possibility for a good time...meh – You really can't judge a club by its goers. I mean- for the most part.
It's LLE
And as much as I have to say about how I thoroughly enjoyed LAVO last night I just didn't love the 21st birthday party next to me.
I was in a sorority in college- so I get it. I understand the need to get violently trashy sometimes. But I also had 'sisters 'to make sure I went home with some dignity.
Let me explain as I get into this fair review.
Juli and I were meeting friends at the Palazzo for a birthday party......

amazing outside dining on the LV Strip – Reserve a table outside on the patio....awesome mojitos...great for our last night in Vegas...get stamped for the nightclub to avoid waiting in line
Bad Food - Pretentious Service – My meal at Lavo was one of the worst meals I have had in a very long time. My husband and I order an appetizer and a salad. The Kobe Beef Rice Ball appetizer was ok and the Beet with Goat Cheese salad was overdressed. The entrees were worse. I had Spaghetti Carbonara . The portion was huge but the flavor was missing. My husband had Lobster Risotto. The Risotto was fishy and gummy. Servers and management were insincere and awkward. Absolutely, do not go here. You can do so much better in Las Vegas.
The hotel is offering Lavo coupons to entice visitors. Do not be fooled.
Bad service and ultra expensive hookah – We stopped by at Lavo during my friend's bachelor party weekend. We sat outside so that we could smoke the hookah. The waitress had to be begged to serve us. When she finally arrived with our hookah, she let us know that it cost $75! Most hookah places charge anywhere from $10 to $20 for a hookah. Obviously, they're overcharging... Of course, we expected to pay a premium for smoking hookah on the Vegas Strip, but $75?!!? The waitress didn't even refresh the charcoal. Horrible experience. It didn't help that all the rest of the patrons looked like they were teenagers... Not recommended.
Turkish-styled restaurant and nightclub serves Mediterranean dishes and caters to a young party-going crowd in a fun atmosphere. – The Scene
The décor throughout LAVO is, in a word, stunning. Starting in the lounge, the entryway introduces the "bathhouse" vibe with worn tile walls and water stained plaster. Overhead, 20-foot ceilings of weathered wooden beams draw the eye upwards as diners sit in leather booths and Moroccan tables. Turkish water basins flank a glass and wood screened bridge that leads to the 4,500-square-foot, second-floor nightclub, which features 40 bottle service tables.
The Food
Bucking the appetizer and entrée trend, the classic Mediterranean dishes served here are meant to be shared and they are brought out throughout the course of the meal. Menu items include a wide range of dishes with Spanish, French and Italian influences. The restaurant seats 300 people and includes a 20 person private dining room and room for 100 on the outdoor Strip-side patio.

ASU's Jahii Carson shining among NCAA freshmen
Arizona State guard Jahii Carson is making waves in the Pac-12 Conference as a freshman, and his performance is beginning to get recognition after his impressive first half of the season.
Jeff Borzello of CBSSports.com has Carson among the top freshman in the country in his Freshman of the Year rankings.
Carson continues to take the Pac-12 by storm, despite Arizona State falling back to Earth after a very impressive first two months. He's averaging 20.7 points, 4.0 assists and 3.7 rebounds in his last three games, while shooting 24-for-48 from the field during that stretch. Some say his numbers are inflated because he doesn't have many complementary options, but he's been outstanding nonetheless.
Borzello has Carson ranked No. 3 behind UNLV's Anthony Bennett and Kansas' Ben McLemore. Carson is one of two point guards in Borzello's top five, with Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart the other.
Carson is averaging 17.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game this season for a resurgent Sun Devil squad.

Why Spurs fans should be cheering Chelsea in cups
Wanting Chelsea to win a football match is an unfamiliar feeling for Spurs fans. Unless they're playing Arsenal, I pretty much always want them to be on the receiving end of a heavy defeat.
Yet on Monday I found myself quietly pleased to see Chelsea beat Manchester United to progress to the semi-final of the FA Cup.
- AVB: Top-four as important as Europa
There has been debate amongst the Tottenham faithful over whether or not Chelsea's FA Cup run is a good or a bad thing. Had United knocked them out, then Spurs would have met Chelsea after the Blues had returned from their lengthy trip from Russia in the Europa League.
The theory was that Tottenham would have been fresher having made the much shorter trip back home from Basel. I'm not so sure. Chelsea have a deeper squad than Spurs and may well win comfortably enough against Rubin Kazan on Thursday so that they can rest their key personnel.
I think Tottenham will be better off with the amended schedule. Having beaten Swansea on Saturday, they will have played a total of four games in 13 days by the time the away match in Basel has taken place. A nice break of 10 days off is preferable to then playing one of the most important games of the season.
Another reason to want Chelsea to progress was that Rafa Benitez made it pretty clear what his priorities were over the weekend. He rested players for the away game against Southampton, in order to beat United.
The Spaniard is not going to be at Chelsea next season, so you can't blame him for prioritising the cups over Champions League qualification. The further Chelsea go in their two cup runs, then the more decisions Benitez will be forced to make.
This is good news, because Chelsea's remaining Premier League fixtures are pretty tough. They have a West London derby away at Fulham just three days after the semi-final against Manchester City.
There's also away trips to come against the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and an Aston Villa side that may well still be battling for survival.
That's why Tottenham fans should be cheering on Chelsea all the way to two finals. Because if they even got to one final, then the resulting fixture pile-up would put a tremendous strain on their resources.
I've got a feeling that the battle for fourth spot will come down to a straight fight between Spurs and Chelsea. Arsenal have no distractions and some pretty easy games to come.
They still have to play Everton and Manchester United, but even they are at home. There's some potentially tricky fixtures against the likes of QPR, Wigan and Newcastle at the end of the season, but it's likely that at least one of those sides with either be relegated or safe by the time that game takes place.
Yes, sadly St Totteringham's Day may well come around again. Arsenal have been more inconsistent than either Spurs or Chelsea this season, but by virtue of having absolutely no chance of winning anything, they should at the very least grab fourth place and most probably will finish third.
They don't get a trophy for that though, no matter what Arsene Wenger might tell you. Let's hope that Rafa Benitez' thirst for silverware hands the remaining Champions League spot to Spurs.

Following the instructions on the wiki I downloaded the plugin through the help menu in FB from here: http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexpmd/plugin/trunk/flex-p md-eclipse-plugin-site
Plugin is configured in preferences with the following settings:
FlexPMD command line installation: /Users/{myName}/Tools/FlashBuilder_Plugins/flex-pmd-all-in-one-bundle -1.0.1/flex-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar
FlexPMD custom ruleset: (blank)
Java command line: java -Xmx256m
FlexCPD command line installation: /Users/{myName}/Tools/FlashBuilder_Plugins/flex-pmd-all-in-one-bundle -1.0.1/flex-pmd-cpd-command-line-1.0.jar
Minimum tokens: 25
When I select a folder and say 'Run FlexPMD' it opens the FlexPMD view but there is no output.
Currently testing on an actionscript only file. Does the project have to use MXML?
Same issue here,
I am using the latest drop of flash builder - 262635 (I am on the prerelease program). I am using the plugin with Eclipse 3.5.
CPD works very well (and surprisingly fast), but PMD shows no output with rule set blank. I have no custome ruleset to test against.
can you make sure you download FlexPMD 1.0.1 from http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexpmd/maven-repository/re lease/com/adobe/ac/flex-pmd/1.0/flex-pmd-all-in-one-bundle-1.0.1.zip
I see you're using /fle x-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar instead of 1.0.1
This should fix your issue.
Xavi Beumala
Hi, having the same problem. CPD works, but PMD shows an empty view. (FB3).
I downloaded the sipfile you mentioned, but not sure how you recognized him using the 1.0 instead of 1.0.1 because all the files are still named xxx-1.0.jar, even in the 1.0.1 zipfile. Is that ok?
Hi Ben,
you're right, files have the 1.0 naming.
Can you give me some further details on your environment? FB version and eclipse version?
Can you see the "running FlexPMD" process message in the bottom right corner?
Is the nature also failing or is only the "run flexPMD" right-click action?
If you open "error log" view on Windows > Show views > Other > Error log can you see any error in there?
I'm having same issue in Flex Builder 3 Standalone Version: 3.0.205647.
FlexCPD runs fine, right-click FlexPMD, I can briefly see the green progress status in bottom corner, but nothing happens. I downloaded the 1.0.1 zip, but all file names are 1.0. Thanks.
Some more info:
- the green running bar blinks for .5 seconds
- Command line running of flexpmd works great
- flexCPD works through the pluging (including the view)
- add FlexPMD nature works
- cannot seem to find the error log view
- Using Flex builder 3 build 22.214.171.124193
- Eclipse version: 3.3.1.R33x_r20070911-_19UEkpF-B7Uh2hKy75y
When you add flexPMD nature and compile can you see FlexPMD violations in the standard error view?
Are you in FB standalone?
I added FlexPMD Nature, compiled and have no errors
Using FlexBuilder 3 stand-alone.
The only error view I can turn on, is the normal Flex Builder "problems" view. Nothing is shown there.
I am in Flex builder standalone yes.
I also have the same problem with no errors beeing returned, just a empty view. I'm running osx 10.5 (intel) with Flash Builder beta 2 (eclipse 3.4.0). And of course with the latest plugin version 1.0.1. PMD does not work but the find cut/paste works perfect.
But I suspect that this is a workspace specific bug, beacuse I hooked up pmd on another workspace and it worked perfectly. So finally I tested to remove my current workspace (the one where pmd did not start) and create a new one from scratch, but pmd still wouldnt run. It's wierd.
/ Martin
I'm also getting blank view panels. Errors/warning/info showing fine in the problems panel
using lastest version of everything as far as i know.
screen shot so you can see what i mean. also noticed in outline panel, on docs there's an icon, on my version its a "monitorize' button. see pic
really like what you have done so far, and looking forward to the future of this tool. Already finding it usefull
I tried adding the nature to another workspace as well, no luck for me.
I have the same error. Tried the same setup on a new workspace and worked perfectly. Here is the error I get in the log with the default workspace ( maybe some lines are irrelevant ):
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 2 0 2009-12-13 18:18:02.754

Hi Glenn,
looking at your screenshot I can only see 1 error. The outline view should display the errors in your active editor. We have a known issue that if FlexPMD is executed while file is opened the outline View won't be updated the first time.
A part from that everything else looks fine to me. Remember that when you run FlexPMD as a nature FlexPMD view won't display anything. FlexPMD view is only used when FlexPMD is executed manually.
Regarding the icon issue I've logged a bug for it: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXPMD-123
Xavi Beumala
@Martin I've filled in a new bug in Jira regarding the workspace problem you're experiencing http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXPMD-124
Please, can you add any further information you have as well as the workspace logs so that I can have a look please? You can find the logs in the your workspace root folder under ./metadata/.log If possible clean up the log file, launch eclipse and try to add pmd nature and clean your project.

@devertex @Ben @odoenet @scruffpuff
I've discovered an issue that might end up not running / displaying FlexPMD results. If your preferences point to a wrong jar or to a bad location the plugin will fail silently. I don't think this is the case for @scruffpuff but it's worth you all check your preferences params. The most important one is FlexPMD command line installation which should point to flex-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar
If this doesn't fix the problems, which I guess won't for all of you, could you please run eclipse from the command line with the -debug option?
Win: eclipse.exe -debug
OSX: {eclipse_folder}/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse -debug
Then right-click in a source folder an execute FlexPMD > Run FlexPMD
After that you should see some information in the console with further information on what's failing. Could you paste the information here?
I've logged in a bug and an ehancement request:
FlexPMD fails silently:

It seems I found the problem. I tried to create a new workspace with a space in the path and I got the error. I tried to find some secret config in the .metadata folder without result. Maybe it's in the plugin that the path is not converted form "/path to/" to "/path\ to/" or the oposite.
That might be the problem. Beacuse the workspace I am having trouble with contains a space in the workspace name,
Hi Martin,
looking at your code, the interesting / important part is:

It looks like the problem comes from /Users/martinsandstrom/workspaces/***/*********/*******/src Is there any white space in this path?
Sorry about that, I had to censor it for client purposes
But yes, it contains a space. To be more exact, the workspace name contains a space, like this = "workspace 2".
I've filled in the bug http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXPMD-127
Thats great. Will do a re-checkout of my troubling project tomorrow morning and see how it goes, i'm sure it will work like a charm.
Great findings everyone!
I'm getting a similar error on Windows 7 Pro.
It looks like it's trying to write to an output directory in my user directory, but can't. So, I have FlexBuilder 3 and the SDK Command Prompt both set to run as administrator and still no go. I moved the FlexPMD command files to my FlexBuilder 3 plug-ins folder and no go.
All the temp folders it attempted to make are empty.

Your problem seems to be the same regarding the spaces. There're spaces in the path of your workspace: C:\Users\odoe\Documents\Flex Builder 3\
The log is not explicit about that and it says the pmd folder doesn't exist, but the cause problem comes from the spaces... Can you try executing PMD in a project / workspace without spaces?
Thanks. Switching to a workspace with no spaces and works great!
Posted earlier before finishing reading the current replies.
Nice to see the possible solution. I can't change the path to something without spaces though. Hope PMD will be updated soon to allow for this. (The view I mean, because PMD itself has no problems with it ).
Cheers, Ben
Couldn't help myself and did a quick test in a workspace without spaces, that fixed the problem for me.
I switched workspaces by going to File > Switch workspace and then chose one which did not have any spaces (by default my workspace said Adobe Flash Builder Beta 2). I imported my preferences and tried to run PMD on a project I'm sure is full of problems. Still getting a blank view though. Is there more to switching workspaces than the steps I've listed?
Just to clarify, my new workspace path is Users/{myName}/Projects
When I go to Preferences > General > Workspace > Linked Resources
I see only 1 entry which reads DOCUMENTS - /Users/{myName}/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder Beta 2
Does this need to be changed as well?
I am using flexbuilder 3 standalone.PMD view is blank.But I am able to run the PMD from the command line though.Workspace and the project i tried does not contain any blank spaces.
@flex2008 @scruffpuff
Can you please follow these steps:
- run eclipse from the command line with -debug option
- invoke flexPMD from eclipse (right click in source folder > FlexPMD > Run FlexPMD)
Paste here your relevant logs from the console window
I don't have Flash Builder installed as an Eclipse plugin, rather I'm using the stand alone version. So I ran Flash Builder Beta 2 debug from the command line. Hope that's correct. Here's the output I got when trying to run PMD on a src folder:

the way this pasted into the comment window, at least for me, it looks like there is a space where it says 'dir/ pmd.xml'
however, it doesn't look like there is a space in the command line output, so maybe it's weird text formatting on the part of the forum? just wanted to point that out.
it also seems to do it on this line '/Users/robdodson/Tools/FlashBuilder_Plugins/flex-pmd-all-in-one-bund le-1.0.1/fl ex-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar'
where it says flex-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar. But in terminal it does not have extra spaces between the words.
Can anyone checkout my log file and let me know if anything stands out as missing or screwed up? I still haven't been able to get PMD to work :/
I have tried FlexPMD with almost all possible combinations - with Flex 3, with Flex 4 Standalone, with Flex 4 Plugin, using workspace with space, without space, using my C: partition, my D partition, etc. Without being able to see anything at all on the FlexPMD view.
After finding this forum, I have tried running eclipse with -debug, and got this stack trace:

It seems the problem might be due to my User Account in Windows, which have spaces and special characters (João Saleiro) - but I might be wrong. I can't change my user account name, which makes FlexPMD useless for now. And I was hoping to show it on a presentation I will be giving for the community next saturday (day 16). Is there any workaround that allows me to use FlexPMD inside eclipse, so I can use it for now? Isn't there an easy way to set the output directory to a different one?
Thank you,
João Saleiro
Hi Joao,
I'm sorry to hear the plugin is not working on your environment. I'm almost sure it's because of your home directory. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide you a fix / workaround for this before tomorrow
the way we're currently getting the output folder is with the Java File API: File.createTempFile So it's java who chooses where to create this temp file... I'm not sure if Java provides a way to change this location.
what about if the user can set the output directory on the preferences of the plugin? I can imagine cases where I would like to keep the PMD generated report, and for that I would be glad to output it to a directory set by me. What do you think?
João Saleiro
I'm having the same problem. I posted my logs to the bug report page before I found this page, so I wont duplicate them here. See them here:
I have no spaces in my project, workspace, PMD commandline jars, or windows user home paths.
The exact same command listed in the console as failing, works when I run it manually on the commandline.
I forgot to mention in the bug, my versions are:
Flash Builder: Version 4.0 (build 253292)
Eclipse Platform: Version: 3.4.2 Build id: M20090211-1700
OS: Windows Vista SP2 32-bit
I've tried running FlexPMD both as a build nature (it added no warnings/errors to my flex 'problems' panel) and as a command (the FlexPMD View opens after running it, but it's empty)
It looks like the problem with mine was not the Windows user account, but the fact that Windows (I'm using Windows 7) was not allowing JAVA to write to the Temp directory. Running Eclipse as Administrator solved my problem.
Hope this helps

Adrenergic bronchodilators are medicines that stimulate the nerves in many parts of the body, causing different effects.
Because these medicines open up the bronchial tubes (air passages) of the lungs, they are used to treat the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and other lung diseases. They relieve cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and troubled breathing by increasing the flow of air through the bronchial tubes.
Epinephrine injection (including the auto-injector but not the sterile suspension) is used in the emergency treatment of allergic reactions to insect stings, medicines, foods, or other substances. It relieves skin rash, hives, and itching; wheezing; and swelling of the lips, eyelids, tongue, and inside of the nose.
These medicines may be also used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Ephedrine capsules are available without a prescription. However, check with your doctor before taking ephedrine.
All of the other adrenergic bronchodilators are available only with your doctor's prescription.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, some of the adrenergic bronchodilators are used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:

Pink Floyd – Us and Them LyricsFollow
[David Gilmour (backed by Richard Wright)]
Us and them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
But in the end it's only round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock, they won't do it again
Dig it? I mean he get off lightly
Cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion
But really, I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?
[David Gilmour (backed by Richard Wright)]
Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
Edit song description to add:

Parsons, Kansas —
With an estimated population of nearly a half million in the state, feral hogs are in every corner of Oklahoma.
They root around, looking for food, leaving farmers and ranchers with a mess and more than a small hole in their pocketbooks. Teaming with The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation and the Mississippi University Extension Service, the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service is hosting a day-long workshop to provide landowners with information about "Managing Wild Hog Damage."
"This workshop is for anyone who is having issues with feral hogs doing damage on their property and is looking for some solutions," said Dwayne Elmore, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension wildlife specialist. "With such a high number of hogs in the state, we get many reports and calls about the damage they are doing."
Hogs can leave areas with large wallows, causing massive soil disturbances and erosion problems. Some of the topics to be covered at the meeting are feral swine diseases, parasites and potential implications to humans and domestic livestock.
The Ag Building at the Osage County Fairgrounds, 320 Skyline Drive, Pawhuska, will be the host venue for the event slated Feb. 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participants will learn wild hog control techniques, biology and ecology as well as become versed in the status of hogs in Oklahoma.
"Getting an understanding of what these animals actually are is important," Elmore said. "We will also be discussing wild hog trapping techniques, trap designs and removal methods."
Experts will be on hand to compare different types of traps, laws governing the control of wild hogs and the role USDA Wildlife Services plays in control.
"At 1:40 p.m. we are going to have some demonstrations on trapping techniques," Elmore said. "I hope we have a lot of people attend, and I think we will given the nasty track record of these animals."
Registration is due by Feb. 8. There is no fee for registering and lunch is provided. For more information, contact Elmore at 405-744-9636 or email at Dwayne. email@example.com. £
