Porting Scientific and Engineering Programs to Linux
The relatively exorbitant cost of hardware and compilers necessary to put together a fully functional engineering workstation puts them out of reach of most students or professionals, who desire a workstation at home. Even for large companies cutting costs without loss of efficiency is desirable. With the advances in Intel processor speed and the ever growing software base available for Linux, the combination presents a good solution for the low cost workstation.
For engineers and scientists a full featured FORTRAN 77 compiler is a must. Additionally, a readily accessible library of numerical functions and subroutines is needed. Full featured FORTRAN 77 compilers regardless of platform, such as Lahey's compiler for DOS and Sun's compiler for SPARCstations, are priced at around eight-hundred American dollars. Commercial numerical libraries, such as IMSL, can cost thousands of dollars.
Readily available under Linux are a couple of free FORTRAN 77 options. The first is f2c, a FORTRAN to C source code converter. The other is g77, a FORTRAN compiler produced by the GNU project. The limitations of f2c leave g77 as the only viable alternative for compiling large complex applications written in FORTRAN 77 under Linux. Short pieces of FORTRAN code were written as needed for particular engineering tasks and were compiled with g77 to test the compiler abilities as a tool for day to day engineering activities. It was found that g77 produced efficient binaries and behaved as a good FORTRAN compiler should.
The next step was to compile a more significant piece of engineering code that is commonly run on workstations in the ten to twenty thousand dollar range. As radiation safety professionals, a code frequently used is MCNP, that implements the "Monte Carlo" method to transport neutral particle radiations. (The current version of MCNP is 4A; 4B will be released soon.) MCNP represents hundreds of man years of coding and is considered the best available technology for this type of calculations. Like most science and engineering code packages with long development histories, MCNP is written predominantly in FORTRAN 77, and language conversion is not considered a reasonable development step.
One thing that makes porting this code to a new platform somewhat challenging is that it is a safety related, pedigreed code, so one cannot just start changing things. Any changes must be made using patch files with the provided implementation utility. This utility is called PRPR and is also written in FORTRAN 77. PRPR is relatively simple code. The first step in porting MCNP to Linux was to compile PRPR, without modification, using g77. This operation was successful—an encouraging but misleading fact. The rest of the package was not as cooperative.
MCNP had already been ported to numerous platforms, everything from VMS to UNICOS. The first obvious approach was to try the patch files provided for similar platforms. None were successful, but these attempts did result in numerous educational error messages.
An initial hurdle to overcome was the absence of the fsplit command in Slackware distributions. This problem was resolved by getting fsplit from a BSD distribution.
The second hurdle was the absence of some VAX FORTRAN extensions, specifically those related to signal handling, date and time calls and execution timing. Although not part of the FORTRAN 77 standard, they are included with many of the commercial FORTRAN compilers. The necessary functions of most of the VAX FORTRAN extensions are simple enough to replicate with short C routines that can be linked with the FORTRAN objects when the executable is produced. The MCNP source includes a C routine to handle execution time.
Once the VAX FORTRAN extension problems had been solved, the remaining tens of error messages were related to problems with integrating the FORTRAN and C objects. With MCNP plotting routines written in ANSI C, the integration of objects is necessary to generate a fully functional executable. The errors result from incorrect syntax of subroutine declarations, which varies from one FORTRAN and C compiler pair to another.
Once the executable binary had been produced successfully—that is, a compile completed with no errors—the provided test problems were run. Test problems are provided with safety related codes, so that the user can verify not only that they compiled a binary, but also that the binary produced reasonable answers. A comparison of the test problem output from the Linux binary to the supplied output revealed only differences attributable to differences in architecture. The machine that produced the standard was a SPARCstation 5, and the first Linux box to run the MCNP binary was a 75 MHz Pentium.
Since that first platform, MCNP Version 4A has been complied and run on 100 and 200 MHz Pentiums. While the Pentiums are not quite as fast as a SPARCstation 20/151 (150 MHz HyperSPARC), they are quite fast when their cost is considered relative to the SPARCstation. Note that the referenced HyperSPARC module alone costs over four thousand dollars.
The PRPR implemented patch files necessary to compile MCNP Version 4A under Linux are shown in Listing 1 and 2. Note that both the FORTRAN and the C patch are necessary. It should also be noted that the best MCNP graphical behavior occurs when running under the OpenLook Window manager.
While we do not expect that all scientists and engineers use MCNP, we do hope that this documentation of the MCNP port will be helpful to those looking for an inexpensive workstation to run their code.

Last of this initial image dump... Just finished this one this morning. The line drawing was easy. But the painting was a struggle from start to finish and took far too long for my liking. This confirms that fact that I need to learn the basics and am going to try and fish out some tutorials/exercises about painting and general workflow. Still not comfortable with the wacom, but I guess that will come.

those are some awesome figure drawings my man. A little hint on the vehicles since you mentioned you want to work some on fundamentals is a PS brush of perspective lines, you just stamp on. There's tons out there and they've been a real help. Keep going! I am loving your stuff so far and I can't wait to see more!

^ Seconded - amazing life drawings! Lol, and I can relate - I just started doing timed gestures at Quickposes.com yesterday, and I know the cold clammy grip of panic well! It's starting to let up though. Keep on keepin' on!

Hey pindurski, the form exercises are looking good! Hope you don't mind a little constructive crit on the skulls. Your side views look good - but the front views seem a bit too wide to me. The 'ball' of the head is squashed in on the sides, so the face ends up looking taller and narrower than you're doing. I also notice - in the side views you're positioning the ear right - almost dead center, where the midlines meet, and the angle of the jawline is just in front of that. But in your 3/4 views it seems like the ear is moved too far back. Think of a cube enclosing the skull, the corner of the face plane being just past the edge of the eye sockets - I see you're putting a vertical guideline there, so you got that right. Now find the midpoint between that vertical and the one at the back of the head and draw your vertical midline there. That's where the center of the ear is (somewhere close anyway - not sure precisely - I always put it dead center or maybe just a few millimeters back).
Also it seems like you're being thrown off by something that used to get me too - in those 3/4 views it looks like you want to imagine the skull sitting flat on a table or something, and you're making the bottom edge of the jawline flat/horizontal, like so it won't fall over. It also seems to be level with the bottom of the head ball. Think about those side views - the bottom edge of the jawline is at a pretty sharp angle and goes well below the bottom of the sphere of the cranium. Keep in mind that to make a skull sit on a table at a natural angle you need some kind of little box or something to put under it, otherwise it ends up looking up into the air. It used to help me a lot to visualize the head very simply as a sphere with a simple mask shape stuck on the front - a sort of shovel-blade shape, tapering toward the bottom to almost a point, with the top edge of it running along the brow ridge. Maybe I could sketch up what I mean real quick.. Thinking of it like this helps remind you where the big plane breaks of the head are (along the edges of the mask shape) and really helps remind you that the jaw sits a lot lower than the bottom of the cranium. I'll pop back in in a few minutes with a sketch of what I'm talking about..
Here -
Wow sorry, didn't mean to make it so big!! Anyway, hope some of this is helpful. It's mostly about imagining a box around the head to get the side planes placed properly, and using those midlines to place the ear, which gives you placement for the jawline also. My drawing isn't good - I got the horizontal midline too high - looks like I went for the center of the ball rather than of the entire head - oops! I'm not good at drawing with the tablet.

Darkstrider - I don't mind the feedback at all. I would have to agree with you when I look at those skulls... they look kind of squished don't they The first part of the exercise was drawing the skull as if it was sitting on a table, but the later ones it was more as if the skull was placed on the spine. I'll keep what you said in mind next(hopefully tonight or on my lunch break)
October 28th, 2013 #15
hey pindurski. oh man! life drawing is the best huh? aah, I found a place I can go, but I only went once. its a bit of a late night ride. and I already have so many evening outings. oh, but I really should go more often. I think you're doing amazingly well for only, what your fourth try? anyway, good idea if you want to do fun stuff but still useful practice: gestures! (and we want m at spartan )

And quick sketch of a creature study for COW: The Thing. I suppose it's a little off base, but I had an idea I just needed to get out. Tomorrow I'll start properly with a silhouette study first!
Attachment 1851704
October 29th, 2013 #17
Some more work on the creature study for COW. First attempt at really working with silhouettes. I think I get too focused on detail right away rather then blocking in the mass areas first when it comes to adding the highlights. Meh so far more work to be done.
Attachment 1852185
First attempt at a colour/value study. Again, I get caught up in the details rather then the mass forms. Definitely need to work on this though next time I will do some black and whites as a warm up.

Good day's work, bad night's sleep, huh? I know the feeling..
The landscape study is looking good - something wrong with the shadow under the sphere though. Try projecting lines from your light source tangental to the edges of the sphere. Otherwise it's looking great to me.
Man, another Thing to haunt my nightmares - just saw one earlier on another sketchbook. Ghastly!!
Excellent value/color studies. One thing I notice, and this might be a stylistic choice on your part, but the really good digital artists in here always say to start by using hard-edged opaque brushes, as big as you can get away with, opacity no lower than maybe 85% through much of the painting, Then near the end start to bring in transparency and soft-edged brushes, just to soften edges where needed. If you start using them too early you risk the entire image looking soft and blurry.
Ok, just wanted to touch bases with you. I feel a certain kinship since we started a few days apart (I know my join date is 2004, I only stuck around for a month or two though and then switched over to doing stopmotion animation as my hobby, just got back in here recently).
October 30th, 2013 #19
The vehicles look just awesome That color/value study in your last post is good but they look a bit too blurry, or maybe it's just me. But anyway, great job with your sb!
October 30th, 2013 #20
Minella and Darkstrider Thanks for the feedback about the value studies. You guys are right, they are blurry. I had not idea what I was doing. I just gleaned some basic information from watching YouTube, but apparently missed the finer points. I will definitely apply the the hard edge/85% opacity techniques then next time! Next time I won't use the chalk brush either and I won't be painting them at 1AM today is not going to be productive at the office!!
Darkstrider - I got help with the landscape study over the in the critique forum yesterday and they identified the very same fault. I hope to resolve that in the next round

Yoyo! Considering you haven't drawn for a while, those are pretty pretty good! A little thing I noticed on your truck carrying a biohazard material, the back wheels seem to be a bit out of perspective..just a little nit pick . Otherwise, good luck and have fun on your way to becoming a pro! Keep up the good work!

your "thing" is way cool good job. I think im in love with it.
November 6th, 2013 #30
Man, I wish I had that level of skill at that age (or even now for that matter!). I had a similar route. Went to college, got a BFA that strongly emphasized Graphic Design; but that senior year was really me knowing I didn't want to do that. There is some really fantastic stuff in here. I wouldn't worry about speed. That will come the more your comfort level rises. Also, if you are looking for some videos on someone in the biz YouTube FZD (Feng Zhu's School of Deign). He posts videos of him working which are absolutely awesome. They don't cover the real basic parts and focuses more on setup, working, and shaping.

Who's coming to MAGTAG?
I realize I haven't been keeping track of how many folks are participating this year, especially since I've also been posting on that other Tomato-oriented site. The third site - The Garden Forums - appears to have disappeared.
So far, these are the folks who have expressed an interest. Please let me know if you are still coming, and whether you will be bringing family or friends:
From GW:
From T-ville:
Chris, Suzy, Maggie & Ed (CeciliaÂs brother and family)
Theresa (CeciliaÂs sister)
Edwin (CeciliaÂs dad, the birthday boy)
I am! I am! Got probably 10 varieties (though I canned 7 quarts of tomatoes and 6 pts of sauce today) to bring. I've been trying to interest friends, but don't think I have any takers this year. Found a Growler under the counter, so I'll bring some microbrew. Not sure whether I'll bring pesto or brownies.
I am definately still coming. I've been looking forward to this for forever! I'll probably bring a pie(hint, hint, - it would be nice if someone else brought vanilla ice cream.
Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll have any tomatoes to bring. I'm praying for one or two cherokee purple that look like they are starting to ripen. I also have a mutant Roma VFN that I just picked today. I hope it stays fresh till next Saturday, it's funny.
The way the timing is working out for my tomatoes, I just picked a whole bunch a week ago(and had to make sauce today or risk losing them). None of my other tomatoes look even close to being ripe. In fact I'm praying they ripen before the weather turns cold. Does anyone know when the end of the growing season is in Vienna VA?
Tomatoes4ever, my sister-in-law, who lives on the Carroll/Frederick county border in Maryland, is experiencing the same problem as you - she has tons of big beautiful GREEN tomatoes that will probably not be ripe in time for MAGTAG. I'm having the opposite problem - all mine have pretty much either succumbed to blight or the drought.
If your tomatoes don't ripen before the weather turns cold, you can pick them and put them in a paper bag to ripen, or you can pull up the whole vine and hang it upside-down in a dry, dark space (like a shed). I have had tomatoes ripening for Thanksgiving that were almost as tasty as those that ripined on the vine.
Cecilia, Claudia and I will be there again this year. She's making her new "Man-Catcher Brownies" (they catch women, too), and I'm making rosemary-scented bread. We'll bring what tomatoes we can, but our plants are on their last legs. I'll see if I have some homebrew to bring, too. Robert
If anybody who's coming has a decent boom box with a CD player, could you arrange to bring it?? If so, I'll burn some music onto CDs to play at MAGTAG. (I'll keep it light and maybe a little humorous...no heavy metal, rap, etc). If you can, please let me know.
My green zebras and Aunt ruby's german green probably won't be ripe in time, but I have an assortment of cherry toms I'll be bringing:
Jaune Flamme
Green Grape
Yellow Cherry (which is more orange than yellow)
Isis Candy
Chocolate Cherry
Yellow and Red Pear (mostly yellow)
Yellow and Red Currant (again, mostly yellow)
I'm going to make a couple of dishes using fresh tomatoes, but I'll be getting them from the farmer's market (not sure what varieties they are, but they're still very good).
I will be there with the family early and then they will leave me and go off to see their cousin. My officemate may come because I gave him (and everyone else) plants in the spring and he has been very excited about the results.
I had flush of tomatoes last week but I am wondering what will happen this week. These are ones I should definitely have and some other I may be able to get from friends that are growing my plants.
Black Cherry
Marylin's Cherry
Earl's Faux
Dr. Lyle
Sophie's Choice
Kit's Find (maybe)
I may be able to get:
Orange One
Some that didn't go well this year were:
Cherokee Green
Yellow Cookie
They must have been affected by salt in the soil due to the fact they they were close to the road.
See yall there!
Does anybody have a CD boombox or other CD player they could bring along? John (pumpkinhead1961) has kindly offered to burn a mix of all kinds of music to play at the fest, but we don't have anything to play it on! (I do have a long extension cord, though.)
Hope it's not too late to say my hubby and I would like to attend. We used to go to the plant swaps but haven't attended in quite a while. I read this post this afternoon and ran to the store for the ingredients for a pasta salad, with tomatoes of course, and we'll bring that along. If there is anything else needed we would be happy to bring it along too.
Please come! This is an open event and all are invited. Let me add some directions if anyone doesn't know how to get there.
Directions to MAGTAG
From anywhere:
I-695 to Exit 9 - Hollins Ferry Road East.
Drive one mille and make a Right on Daisy Avenue
Drive 1/4 mille and make a Right on Annapolis Road
Drive ½ mile and make a Left on Georgia Avenue
park is at end of road
You will see signs directing you were to go butÂ. you will make a left onto the park road to get to the pavilion

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Jets ecstatic to hit MTS Centre ice Sunday
Winnipeg Jets fans aren't the only ones excited about the club's pre-season home debut at MTS Centre Sunday night versus the Ottawa Senators.
"It's awesome. And we're lucky — our building is going to be sold out so it's going to be like a regular season game," Jets forward Blake Wheeler said Saturday following practice at MTS Centre.
"The guys who haven't had a chance yet to play here, they're going to have fun out there tomorrow night. It's pretty unique in that sense...We're really treated well here. It's a lot of fun to play a game and to play in front of these fans is a privilege. We need to treat it like that tomorrow night and come out and work hard for them."
With the Jets players divided into three groups for training camp, fans will only get to see about one-third of the players the Jets have in camp on Sunday night.
But the expected Jets lineup versus the Senators will include the team's top line of Wheeler, Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little as well as veteran defencemen Paul Postma and Toby Enstrom.
The lineup for tomorrow night was also supposed to include young prospect Adam Lowry, but he is an expected scratch after he missed practice for the third day in a row Saturday with an upper body injury sustained on the first day of camp when he fell heavily into the boards.
One prospect who will be playing Sunday night is newly signed defenceman Brenden Kichton, last season's defenceman of the year in the WHL, who will be making his NHL pre-season debut against the Senators.
"It's going to be very exciting. I've never played in front of that many fans before — and especially for my first exhibition game," said Kichton. "But it's what I've been training for and what I've been looking forward to these past couple years.
"It's a real dream come true."
What game?
Wheeler was asked if he intended to watch Hockey Night in Canada Saturday night as some of his other teammates take on the Washington Capitals in a pre-season game in Belleville.
"What game tonight?," Wheeler joked. "I think there's some college football on, so I will probably be flipping back and forth a little bit. It might be a little too early to start zeroing on hockey."
Competition fierce
With 18 defencemen in camp, Postma says it doesn't take a mathematician to figure out what those numbers mean.
"It makes it extremely competitive that's for sure. You look at the number of roster spots and the number of players and they don't really add up. It makes for a good healthy competition.
"And down the stretch, when there's injuries and what-not, we're going to have the right number of guys. We have different kinds of defencemen too -- the stay-at-homes and the offensive. We've got a mix of everything that should make for a good group."
Short straw
Everyone would rather play than practice and Jets forward Olli Jokinen's Group C in Jets training camp drew the short straw in that regard.
The Group C Jets, which also include defenceman Dustin Byfuglien and goaltenders Al Montoya and Ondrej Pavelec, have the role of spectators this weekend as their Group A teammates play Saturday night in Belleville and Group B teammates play Sunday night at MTS Centre.
Jokinen, Byfuglien et al won't get their chance to hit some people in anger until Tuesday night when most, if not all, the Group C players will finally get their chance in a pre-season game against the Edmonton Oilers at MTS Centre.
"Obviously, everybody is looking to play a game," Jokinen said Saturday. "But you play when they tell you to play and you don't worry about things you can't control. We have 58 guys -- some play today, some play tomorrow, some play Tuesday.
"You go day by day. That's the only way to do it."

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) relentlessly grinds on. The organization and its fellow travelers just held their annual Hate Israel follies, which they dubbed "Israel Apartheid Week." Rallies outside Israeli consulates and embassies were held in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Cleveland, Anaheim and Chicago.
Meanwhile, students at De Paul University have announced an Academic Freedom Conference for February 1 and 2. They write that people are still in a state of shock because Norman Finkelstein, the Holocaust-mocker, was denied tenure. They note that "prominent scholars" such as John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt (of "Israel Lobby" fame) have been "silenced."
Mearsheimer and Walt silenced? By whom? Their publisher gave them a hefty advance, and they've had no problem securing speaking time from media outlets, bookstores and campuses.
The De Paul students also cite the "controversial tenure decisions" of Nadia Abu El-Haj and Joseph Massad (of Columbia). El-Haj received tenure; what are these students protesting?
In the name of academic freedom, these students have extended invitations to the most savage critics of America and Israel: Professors Sara Roy, Bill Ayers, Robert Jensen, Mark Ellis, Juan Cole and Joel Kovel. They did not invite anyone who might have a positive view of America, Israel, and the West.
Only speakers obsessed with Israel's allegedly essential evil nature are qualified to represent what now passes for courageous concern with "academic freedom."
Meanwhile, the United Nations Council on Human Rights passed a resolution demanding that Israel lift its blockade of Gaza. (Will the UN condemn Hamas for blasting its way into a sovereign nation? Why do I even bother to ask?)
Needless to say, the august council did not condemn Hamas for firing 200 Kassam rockets at Israeli civilians in Sderot that same week – civilians who, as Bradley Burston put it in Haaretz, undergo daily collective punishment from Hamas's rockets.
There is something wrong with how these propagandists think. It is almost as if their brains have been altered by poisoned prejudice.
Which leads us to the subject of brain injuries. The current issue of Science magazine describes the work of Johns Hopkins neurologist Ibolja Cernak, who, with teams in Belgrade, China, and Sweden, has documented a neurological basis to what was once called "shell shock." She describes both immediate and lasting neurological consequences with attendant psychiatric symptomatology to those (mainly soldiers) who have not been physically injured themselves but who have been in the vicinity of repeated blasts.
Dr. Cernak is careful not to conflate physical injuries with the measurable, neurological damage sustained by merely enduring (i.e., fearing, seeing, hearing) the repeated blasts. She calls this Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Symptoms include dizziness, speech problems, unexplained weeping, irritability, attention deficit disorders, insomnia, depression – some or all of the symptoms of what has previously been called post-traumatic stress syndrome. This time, it has a neurological basis.
So, are the civilians of Sderot suffering from TBI? To whom can they turn for redress – for compensation for their medical treatment and considerable pain and suffering?
Trust me: if we don't answer this question for Sderot's residents, we will eventually ask it about ourselves.
In the beginning, only Israel had metal detectors and extra security at its airports and embassies. Now everyone does. The world did not stop the 2000 intifada against Israel (Israel's much-maligned security wall finally did that), but now that same intifada has gone global as suicide terrorist attacks against Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and European capitals are routinely launched.
Those Kassam rocket blasts that are being endured by Israelis may soon be inherited by civilians elsewhere. Everywhere.
* * *
Postscript: In my Jan. 18 op-ed column ("Ms. Magazine's Msogyny Toward Israel"), I criticized Ms. Magazine for rejecting an American Jewish Congress ad that did nothing more than note the prominence of three particular Israeli women. The fact of the matter is that Ms., the National Organization for Women, the Feminist Majority (which took over Ms.) and far too many Western feminists have, for a long time now, been more concerned with the alleged occupation of a country that does not exist (Palestine) than they have with the occupation of women's bodies worldwide, especially in Islamic countries.
I recently looked through some issues of Ms. online from 2000-2007. The editorial bias is blatantly and consistently anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian. Apparently, Palestinians are sacred victims who are pure and can do no wrong. Israelis are Nazi-like aggressors and occupiers who can do no right. This is not the Ms. I once knew so long ago. This is a feminism that has been utterly Palestinianized.

My good colleague Kay is wrong about the early demise of conspiracy theories and blood libels against the Jews.
"I am surprised those Zionists are not outside protesting," says one woman.
"Miral" is a film that has garnered an inordinate amount of media attention. In interviews, the director, Julian Schnabel, defends his right to tell the Palestinian "narrative" for what he claims is the first time. He seems not to know that many others before him have specialized in this particular line of work.
Our beloved, miraculous Jewish state is under siege.
It was assumed that the ceaseless persecution of the Jews in exile would cease once we again had our own sovereign homeland, our own army, navy, and air force.
In 1947-1948 I lived in Boro Park where, against parental and rabbinic advice, I joined a Zionist group. By 1950 I was packing machine-gun parts for Israel in a home not far from the Young Israel. But what I did as a child does not compare to what my friend and colleague David Gutmann did for love of Zion at that very time on the dangerous open seas.
Reality has become somewhat Scandinavian. It grows dark early and it is bitterly cold here in New York City and over a good portion of our fair land. Our Prince of Peace (The Norwegian Nobel, not the noble variety) is not yet asking whether "to be or not to be." Perhaps he is not entirely convinced that "that is the question."

With Ryan out of the picture, this week's episode of New Girl was bound to go one of two ways: Jess continues to wallow and the gang cheers her up in more elaborate ways, or the episode is a silly, silly diversion from the breakup in which Ryan's name becomes as unsaid as Voldemort's. Thankfully it's the latter, in the form of a bottle episode that revolves around a Ridiculous Schmidt Quirk Everyone Humors (RSQEH). … Read More

'New Girl' Season 4 Episode 15 Recap: "The Crawl"
Not since Parks and Rec's "Galentine's Day" have I seen a Valentine's Day-themed episode of anything that successfully plays the friendship card — until last night. "The Crawl" was an unfettered look at what it's like when Nick Miller, anti-planner extraordinaire, calls the shots. And it was as glorious as a slightly contrived holiday-themed sitcom episode gets. … Read More
'New Girl' Season 4 Episode 13 Recap: "Coming Out"
Like most other single-camera, niche-audience TV comedies in this age of the serialized drama, New Girl's challenge is to make every episode laugh-out-loud funny while also advancing the multiple season-long storylines that ensure the growth of its characters and the progression of their relationships. Whereas Seinfeld and Friends could thread two dozen self-contained 22-minute stories together with little more than a few in-jokes or one on-again-off-again romance (you know which one I mean), now we expect every major player to have his or her own compelling trajectory. (Imagine if we'd demanded that of Kramer!) And while New Girl often does a great job seamlessly integrating character development and big laughs, last night's episode was almost entirely devoted to the former — and forgot to give us almost any of the latter. … Read More

'New Girl' Season 4 Episode 8 Recap: "Teachers"
First things first: If, prior to watching this episode, someone said that "Teachers" would feature a roommate who doesn't know how to do laundry and doesn't know how to use a ruler, who would you guess? Nick, right? Right! Instead, it's Schmidt and Winston, respectively, and it's two character decisions that throw me off but… Read More
'New Girl' Season 4 Episode 7 Recap: "Goldmine"
By rearing back on the Nick/Jess drama that took over much of Season 3 of New Girl, Season 4 has mostly returned to form — it's been weird as hell, sure, but it's been goofy, funny, and emotional as well. It has also, definitely, been helped by this season's commitment to focusing on all of the roommates instead of just our two main characters. This latter development is in play in "Goldmine" as Winston, Coach, Cece, and Schmidt all get fun little storylines but the former has taken a step back with a A-plot that's a little too focused on Nick and Jess. … Read More
50 Great Pre-Fame Performances by Famous Actors
This week, the Criterion Collection is releasing a double bill of the mid-'60s Westerns The Shooting and Ride the Whirlwind, a treat not only for fans of revisionist Westerns and director Monte Hellman, but also for those who admire Jack Nicholson, here seen in two terrific performances that predate his breakthrough in Easy Rider. There's a specific kind of pleasure in revisiting the early work of actors who would later become famous — not the roles that made them stars, but their earlier, quieter gigs, in which we glimpse an actor just trying to do good work, yet already exhibiting the spark that would mark them for fame. Here are a few of our… Read More
"Adorkable" Is Officially a Word: Links You Need to See

The Manic Pixie Dream Girl May Be Dead, But Film's Shallow Female Characters Live On
Is it a big deal when the person who coined a term disowns it? In Salon, culture journalist Nathan Rabin has penned a piece called "I'm Sorry For Coining the Phrase 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl,'" where he apologizes for naming the archetype in an 2007 A.V. Club review that dissected Kirsten Dunst's insufferable character in Elizabethtown. Rabin's moment of insight eventually yielded a million think-pieces, Zooey Deschanel's Emmy-nominated mainstream brand, John Green's writing career, and a wave of cultural criticism that took to task — in manners both dismissive and frustrating — the phenomenon of female characters, often young, feeling like shallow, one-dimensional girls there to prop up a male protagonist. … Read More

As long as your not bleeding everything should be fine, if your worried about an ectopic pregnancy, get your doc to order an ultrasound, but you should be alright if your not bleeding :) i havent bled once with this pregnancy, but i'll tell ya i have the worst back pain ever and cramping to boot, but everything is ok with baby!!posted 05/19/2011 by mom101705
Yes very much so. In my first trimester i had all kinda of stretching pains.... absolutely normal to accomadate you growing one. The only time to worry is if its accompanied by bleeding.posted 05/18/2011 by arngsoldierswife09
I had terrible cramping and bleeding starting at 5weeks and lasting for 2months. Mine was b/c I had a sub choronic hematoma in my uterus. That was causing my cramping and bleeding. My cramping was like terrible PMS cramps. Now I am 22wks and b/c our sweet boy is so low there are many times I still have cramps, or pressure. My doctor said cramps are very common for women in the beginning. Especially as baby starts to implant, and grow. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just take some tylenol. You can put heat on your back to help even with front cramps. And I found laying on my left side with a pillow between my knees helped relieve some of it a little. My doctor said just rest, and stay off feet as much as I could with the cramping and of course with the bleeding. Hang in there!!!posted 05/07/2011 by 831miracle

Nice to hear that people are having cramps early on as well because I have been having cramps since before i even realized I was pregnant. I am 14 weeks now and still cramping. No bleeding though. Just like you I'm way nervous about everything since this is my first pregnancy. hopefully everything will be just fine though!*posted 04/27/2011 by JasDre

Removing fleet marks from IOR was always planned to happen, and it *should* have happened. Just doff, you get way more fleet marks from doffing than you could from the IOR anyway....
I've got over 5k fleet marks sitting surplus and wasted because our fleet trained our members how to doff - and we're all swimming in marks, our progress is gated exclusively by dilithium, as is pretty much everyone's progress.
DILITHIUM is the problem, not fleet marks. Why can nobody see this?
I assure you I won't be getting out my credit card. And while I'm very happy for you and your fleet on your mark surplus, it would seem a large number of the rest of us don't have the luxury of that problem.
I have plenty of dilithium, it's way easy to get. It's the fleet marks that are a problem. I guess we have completely opposite problems with the game.
