NYSE Volume Down 27% From Jan 2011 OPEX
While much will be made of the spurt in volume today - to its highest of the year - we present without too much comment the comparison to last January's OPEX volume. Today's volume is an incredible 27% below the January 2011 Option expiration volume...

HFT Algo versus HFT Algo.
Bagholding HFT Algo versus Bagholding HFT Algo.
There you go. Fixed.
You got that right "CPL". And they are holding big time.
If one observes how stocks act, one can just watch the volume explode on a downtrend.
Take stocks like HGT, UPL, GEN, SWN, CCOI, SJT and GNOM. The volume expodes on the downside.
Just one more observation. Market bottoms bring low volume because of No More Sellers.
Market Tops bring low volume because of No More Buyers. The End May be Near.
Buyers are there. Bad HFT excel at buying at the REAL low, which appears as a still falling price to those not colocated when they stuff the exchanges. Think millisecond delays:
and the game continues.. until next week - ladies - http://hedge.ly/gFWVSm

The criminal syndicate known as Wall Street not only killed the US housing market...they have killed the capital markets in the US entirely. So as they clamor for more money printing at the Fed...what they are seeking is the last and only buyer of the worthless assets they now hold...because much to the chagrin of established thinking, Average Joe well understands that there currently is no market to invest in...resulting in the failure of capital formation.
Soon...the Lear Jet exodus, promptly followed by Average Joe's complete and utter repressed rage when he discovers that bankers have also...killed the entire nation, economically and morally speaking.
And then...hello FEMA camps!
This is the wasteland that J. Dimon and L. Blankfien and Ben Bernanke have made for us.
**this is the most important story of the last few weeks/months/years as it speaks to the complete collapse of confidence in Wall Street...which is why Bob Pisani over at the BlowHorn[CNBC] will, after mentioning low volume, constantly say, "Look, the important thing is..." right before he goes off on some cheerleading chant about the economic recovery.**
Hey, "cdad"...No! No! No!...We can start with those three, but, I'm after a WHOLE LOT MORE!
are you going thru TV withdrawal?
L0L!!! like the cop told me earlier this week, stop means stop!
i wonder if [re-]hypothecation and derivatives are keeping volume down? if you're writing options on your equity for income in a world of bullshit zirpish returns, if you sell the stock, you are swimming naked in the options pool, not the bathtub! hmmm...
...but, turns out option volume was down last month (dec) y-o-y, but lQQk where that info is from: The Options Industry Council Announces December Options Volume Down 6% While 2011 Volume Sets Ninth Consecutive Record - Yahoo! Finance
(paste) A Review of 2011 Records
In addition to hitting new annual volume records, these records were set last year.
- Highest single trading day in 2011 for total options: August 8 with 41,535,560 contracts
- Highest single trading day ever for equity options: August 8 with 37,972,071 contracts
- Highest monthly volume: August with 550,049,407 contracts
- Average daily total options volume: 18,106,144
- Average daily equity options volume: 16,764,304
holishitoli! could slewienomincs have a future?
No withdrawal at all, Slewie. Loving the silence at my trading desk. Getting all the news I need from other sources. Cursing [at the TV] is also way down, and I prefer a more civil me.
Others told me a long time ago that my trading would improve if I quit the BlowHorn [CNBC] consumption. They were correct. Now...I occasionally catch a BlowHorn tweet...and those are as full of bullshit as their programming is...funny.
No more Bob Pisani here...no no. And best of all...no more mindless J. Cramer rants.
L0L!!! we were still writing abt it on the chasHSmith string abt media propagananda from this morning, a short while ago
i didn't think you were a backslider, Cdad!
you may tell the other traders that slewie has given you credit for a 12-step meeting! Hahaha!
I rarely watch CNBC and other business shows (all noise), but it seems whenever I turn to CNBC it's when Bob Pisani is doing exactly what you stated or how the Europeans are going to get their stuff together. Give me a break! I just can't imagine anybody watching an entire business show other than to induce sleep or they like to hear BS repeated a hundred times.
Low volume= low stock prices? Gee, a sale! I'm all in with Robo! Buying at the peak should be a fun ride, right? Right???
Emergency.. "Oxygen ...Oxygen ...Oxygen"
Dow, S&P and Nasdaq gasping ..Europe's comatose too
Calling Thunderbird 6, Blowjob Ben, at International Rescue
Take out the huge pre-market spike and the trades reported from the dark pools ... and today doesn't look that impressive.
Take out the institutional investors buying more IBM on top of that ...
Oh, we had a way below average day.
"Today's volume is an incredible 27% below the January 2011 Option expiration volume..."
"That just makes it all the eaiser to manipulate you my dear."
(With sincere apologies to Little Red Riding Hood)
PSSSST: They're going to do it again and again and again and aga....
This shit is so blatant that it's pointless to even pretend that it's going to stop.
I'm still just amazed that NOBODY (except the NY Post) calls bullshit on it.
Here is a stupid thought...Perhaps the robots have reduced their trading volumes. I am open to reasonable arguments as to why this would not be the case.
"Boilermaker", patience...
We should see an opportunity, next week...
I think that sharks like JPM, BAC, GS, MS trading desks almost out of money and have bought anything that could be bought. Next hope is waiting for a crop of institutional idiots to buy the whole market higher.
But the past idiots have been getting out of the market for 33 out of 35 weeks. The sharks are hoping that Greece's "solution" will make the idiots come back. However, since Greece has become irrelevant now, it's Italy and Spain that is in past idiot's mind.
I understand why Janjuah is calling for S&P at 800. No more idiots until Italy and Spain are solved.
...calculating volume within the zero interest black hole. 0 x Volume=1984/2+2=5
POMO's and ALGO's; is there a problem here? Buy Gold/Silver bullion and enjoy the ride. Only Dumb-Shits (US Politicians) invest in US Stock Markets.....
The only volume that matters is how much new money is coming into the market. Trim Tabs tracks this and from what I understand there is an outflow of money except for corporations buying back their own stock (with cehap borrowed $'s). Sick market is an understatement.
As far as volume is concerned, with HFT surely the primary dealers and dark pools can create as much or as little volumne as they like just selling to each other. Isn't this how they ramp prices into the close each day in Europe and US?
I have said it before, but I don't mind saying it again.
This time, I will yell.
Get retail out. Makes it easier to move the market in your (i.e. Bennie and His Ink Jets') direction.
Which, preferably for them most of the time, is UP UP UP.
You are falling into the trap of a teleological argument (e.g. giraffes grew longer necks so they could eat leaves at the top of trees) where the result is seen as having been based on intentional action. The reality is that giraffes that were born with longer necks had a better survival/reproduction rate than the shorter neck giraffes that were not able to reach the leaves at the top of the tree
Chairman Ben did not set out to drive the retail investor out of the market. His intent was to reflate the U.S. and global economies to the artificially high levels that were the result of the credit bubble. The fallacy of his approach is that a consumer driven economy where more and more of the consumers are unemployed and are not deleveraging but are having credit stripped away from them involuntarily - are not able to go back to consuming like it is 2006.
Bernanke's incompetence is based on not realizing that banks that are GIVEN FREE MONEY (QE1 - par prices (1.0) for bulk assets worth 0.50) have no incentive to risk any of that money by loaning it to consumer's ... or other banks. They are, rather, disincentivized when you pay them a premium for buying the government's debt (QE 2), holding it for a week or two, and then selling it back to the government at a profit.
He is now the hostage of the "banks" because they can crash the global markets at any time - and they can make a ton of money from doing it since they (pay attention now) are THE MARKET MAKERS. The retail investors (who in a perfect market would be a counterbalance to the banks) that have "survived" have absented themselves from the market BECAUSE they know who the market makers are and how completely the market makers can manipulate everything. The retail investors that have survived have learned to avoid the rigged game.
Ben thought he was smarter than the "banks", the other Central Bankers and anybody alive during the Great Depression. He has from day one demonstrated the truth of the old saying:
"Never attribute to cunning and malice that which can be achieved through mere incompetence."
the only way to win is not to play
He is now the hostage of the "banks" because they can crash the global markets at any time - and they can make a ton of money from doing it since they (pay attention now) are THE MARKET MAKERS.

Damn fine post. You succinctly and eloquently stated Bernanke's Dilemna. So much for free markets and capitalism.

Unilever has been given approval from the European Union to buy the personal care and European laundry arm of Sara Lee Corporation, in a €1.2bn deal.
The acquisition will see the FMCG giant adding top brands Radox, Duschadas and Neutral to its home and personal care portfolio.
Other brands purchased in the deal are Biotex in the laundry category, Zwitsal and Fissan in baby care, and Prodent and Zendium in the oral care range.
The transaction was approved today after a detailed review by the European Commission, during which time the global company agreed to divest its Sanex brand in the European market.
There will be a separate organisation set up to operate Sanex, which will then be in a position to be sold in Q3 next year.
The Sara Lee brands being bought by Unilever generated annual sales in excess of €750m for the year ending June 2009.
Doug Baillie, president of Western Europe at Unilever, said: "We are pleased to have received the green light from the European Commission for this deal and we look forward to adding these important brands to our business.
"Home and personal care is a key growth category and we are acquiring a number of leading brands that fill gaps in our portfolio, improve the shape of our overall European portfolio, while offering significant potential for development in other geographies."

Former Mich. governor to host Current TV talk show
Thursday, October 13, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) — Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm will host a new nightly political talk show on Current TV as the progressive cable network continues its rebuilding of its prime-time lineup.
"The War Room with Jennifer Granholm" will premiere in January at 9 p.m. Eastern time, following "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," Current announced on Wednesday.
The program will feature commentary by political insiders, opinion leaders and newsmakers.
"I'm really interested in solutions," Granholm said. "We'll be taking a deeper dive to solutions to the most pressing problems out there.
"Yes, I'm progressive," she said. "I'm on the left end of the spectrum. But I've also had to be a pragmatic governor, and can explain what that's like in dealing with a Republican legislature — and how important compromise is."
Granholm, a Democrat, was the first woman to be elected governor in Michigan and served two terms beginning in 2003. She is a contributor to NBC's "Meet the Press," and recently co-authored "A Governor's Story: The Fight for Jobs and America's Economic Future" with her husband, Dan Mulhern. In that book they focus on how the changes forced on Michigan can be examples of what the nation must do to compete in a global economy.
Asked about the Occupy Wall Street movement, which claims that 1 percent of the nation's population is getting rich at the expense of the rest of America, Granholm said the protests are "a primal scream for somebody to do something. I think it's really important for democracy that it's happening, and I'm glad that Current has been covering it. It's a very important movement for Current to be part of."
Granholm is now teaching at the University of California at Berkeley, near Current's San Francisco headquarters, from which her show will originate. Current Chairman Al Gore called her "one of the most insightful, intelligent and effective leaders that I have ever worked with," adding, "The political process today is a very different game, and having someone who knows that from the inside, and understands the realities of the elective process, will be a unique advantage" for the network.
"I sincerely believe if she had not been born in Canada, she would have been a leading candidate for president of the United States," Gore said.
Current began re-building its prime-time slate with last June's premiere of Olbermann's show, which had previously aired on MSNBC.
Then, last month, the network announced that online talk-show host Cenk Uygur will bring his show, "The Young Turks," to its prime-time lineup by year-end. "The Young Turks" is scheduled to air at 7 p.m. Eastern.
Planning is under way for further revamping in daytime, said Current president David Bohrman, but the network wanted to lock in its evening hours first as the 2012 campaign heats up.
"We have to catch the election wave," he said.
"If you took these three shows together," said Gore, "you could describe it as 'Occupy Prime Time."'

- Quality, Integrity, and Satellite Symposia
- Unexpected Insights in Stakeholder Data
- The "4+1 Model" of Satellite Symposia
- The Story In SWOTs
Since it was created in 2009, the Industry Alliance for Continuing Education and Medical Specialty Society Collaborative Workgroup of the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Healthcare Professions was created to improve communications between two sections of the medical meetings industry that are usually kept separate. Rules and regulations put in place to protect each side had inadvertently created an adversarial landscape. Commercial supporters were afraid to engage with CME providers, and many CME planners were never quite sure when it was acceptable to discuss something with a commercial interest. Thankfully, both sides were eager to restore dialogue.
But the emphasis on improving communications faded quickly. It wasn't necessary. Each group had been eager to establish an avenue to discuss topics with the other; it didn't take much to get the groups talking.
From there, "what do we talk about?" became "what should we work on?" One topic that rose to the top was satellite symposia. Here's what the group has come up with so far.
Satellite symposia have been a hot topic since the American College of Cardiology announced in 2011 it would no longer allow other CME organizations to provide certified continuing medical education satellite symposia at its Annual Scientific Session. That same year, Elizabeth Yarboro, then associate vice president at the ACC and an Industry Alliance for Continuing Education and Medical Specialty Society Collaborative Workgroup member with the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions, posed a question to the group: How were CME providers and commercial supporters handling satellite symposia? These are, generally speaking, independently organized educational activities that are held in conjunction with a medical association or other organization's main conference.
It was a good question. There wasn't much information on best practices for satellite symposia. Was ACC's situation unique, or were other organizations facing a similar struggle balancing quality and content integrity? The more the workgroup inquired, the more other stakeholders wanted to know.

Objective. To investigate the long-term associations of magnesium intake with incidence of diabetes, systemic inflammation and insulin resistance among young American adults.
Research design and methods. A total of 4,497 Americans, aged 18-30 years, who had no diabetes at baseline, were prospectively examined for incident diabetes based on quintiles of magnesium intake. We also investigated the associations between magnesium intake and inflammatory markers, i.e., high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and fibrinogen, and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).
Results. During 20-year follow-up, 330 incident diabetic cases were identified. Magnesium intake was inversely associated with incidence of diabetes after adjustment for potential confounders. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio of diabetes for participants in the highest quintile of magnesium intake was 0.53 (95% confidence interval, 0.32-0.86; Ptrend<0.01) compared with those in the lowest quintile. Consistently, magnesium intake was significantly inversely associated with hs-CRP, IL-6, fibrinogen, and HOMA-IR; and serum magnesium levels were inversely correlated with hs-CRP and HOMA-IR.
Conclusions. Magnesium intake was inversely longitudinally associated with incidence of diabetes in young American adults. This inverse association may be explained, at least in part, by the inverse correlations of magnesium intake with systemic inflammation and insulin resistance.

Reviews for Prototype 2
Good but the first game was betterbritishlad | May 10, 2013 | See all britishlad's reviews »
I really enjoyed the first prototype even though the graphics were average and the gameplay whilst very satisfying was very repetitve - Prototype 2 just doesn't reach my expectations. The first problem I had with prototype 2 is it's protagonist, Sgt. James Heller. He is a loudmouthed,hotheaded badass. The badass part I like,but he doesn't quite have the personality Alex Mercer had. I don't know about others and this review is just my biased opinion,not any constructive criticism. So it's safe to say,I didn't like the protagonist and it made a poor impression on my mind. Game play is almost the same as the first one. Mutation is a good pathway to make James a demigod. And it feels good as James powers up and turns into the ultimate killing machine. One of the best abilities In prototype 2 is that you can glide and it makes for a joyful ride over plagued Manhattan. It feels almost as if you were flying. And it's always a pleasure to crash into a fight with style. The story felt ruined. Prototype had an average storyline which felt interesting because of the memory collected. But prototype 2 doesn't offer something a lot new. Instead,I felt as if it was ruining the whole prototype story. Characters aren't that memorable but fighting other prototypes are. And they give you new weapons which feels good. Ultimately,it isn't something entirely new or it's protagonist won't make a hell of an impression,but the gameplay is very much enjoyable. And that is enough. It's worth a playthrough at a cheap price but if you didn't like the first game then avoid

The drawers are surprisingly deep, and the mirror inside is sweet. Grade A from me. This doesn't come up for resale often and when it does, the price is dear. Because of the size and potential damage issues, make sure you ask lots of questions before bidding and insist on insurance when shipping. Shown with other pieces in the set for general scale comparison. It all takes up a lot of space.

Truman sites close, reduce hours because of cuts
Friday, March 15, 2013
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) — Automatic federal budget cuts mean visitors will have fewer opportunities to see sites connected to President Harry S. Truman.
The National Parks Services says beginning March 24, Truman's House in Independence will be closed on Sundays, Mondays and all federal holidays.
Also, the Noland Home, a house across from Truman's home that once belonged to his cousins, will be closed. And the Truman Farm in Grandview will no longer provide tours in the summer, although the grounds will be open to visitors.
The changes are part of $85 billion in across-the-board federal spending cuts that went into effect March 1.
The Independence Examiner reports (http://bit.ly/16wPFi9 ) that Larry Villalva, superintendent of the Truman National Historic Site, says he's not sure if the Noland Home or the Truman Farm will ever reopen.

About Me
Ajiroba Oladipupo is an emerging young leader gaining more recognition as the day counts. I am a young environmentalist, Climate Change activist and youth advocate with good public speaking abilities. I am a creative, enthusiastic, ambitious and passionate young Nigerian with an unusual passion to make the world a better place. I am an advocate of youth empowerment and a youth development expert. My priced values are innovative mind, critical analysis skills, persistence, humanity service and honesty; I see myself not just as a citizen of my country but rather as a citizen of the world and as such, I seek to make a difference and join other great young citizens of the world, in the quest to continually help in the development of mankind. At an early stage in life, I was clear about where I wanted to belong to. My interest on environmental issues was born out of a challenge I suffered while growing up, at a very tender age I was diagnosed as a patient of acute bronchitis, which was a serious challenge but rather than be a victim of circumstance, I decided to turn my disability into ability by learning more about how to have pollution free environment which in turn inspired me in my career choice. Though peer influence later on, negatively delayed me. But I strongly believe that though man may not have the opportunity to start anew, but no matter his present position, he can change and give himself a brand new end. So better late than never! I have huge interest in mentoring young people, youth empowerment and leadership development so as to support them in making right choices and guide them. My position is that young people should go beyond being advocate and campaigners for developmental issues, a position that has earned young people being continually referred to as noise makers but rather get involved in meaningful research to support active participation and earn them a place in policy promulgation. I have a strong passion for issues of environment as I strongly believe in a quote by Ken Saro Wiwa, the great Nigerian environmentalist whose work satirized on contemporary culture and human rights that "environment is humans first right, without a safe environment, we cannot exist to claim other right be they social, economic or political! My interest in helping young peoples in their values clarification inspired me in creating The Environment Advocates/Managers (TEAM), a youth led group with active 200 volunteers that comprises of most university Students, where I actively empower young people and engage them on leadership issues and involve them in volunteering initiatives.
I studied Botany at Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria and graduated in 2009. I have worked actively in the environmental field for almost four years. My first environmental field experience was in oil/gas during my industrial training at Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in 2007 at Mosimi Ogun State, Nigeria. Recently, I had worked more on climate change related issues and helped organize young people who are passionate about issues on environment and development; this was done through facilitating training of young people as Climate Advocates this was done through the project tagged Building youths response to climate change. I organized the first National Youth Service Corps, Oyo State summit on Climate Change on August 12, 2010 in collaboration with Building Nigeria's Response to Climate Change a consortium of Nigerian Environmental study/Action Team, Canada VSO, Marbek Consultants Canada, to mark world Youth day in Nigeria, at this summit over 200 youths came together to build synergy and work for a safer environment.
Within the short time I started the journey into the corporate world; I have been recipient of few awards to recognize my contributions in helping young people and my various involvements in youth initiatives such as outstanding Volunteer by Center for Peace Building and Disaster Relief, outstanding service by Nigerian Environmental Study/Action Team, Chairman's award of Outstanding National Youth Service Corp in Oyo State, in Nigeria. I was recently nominated by African Union at Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, as on of the 67 young African professionals to pioneer the African Union Youth Volunteer Corps (AUYVC) scheme, also appointed as the pioneer Chairman of the newly formed youth wing of Nigeria's oldest NGO; the Nigerian Field Society, a foremost environmental group in Nigeria, Project initiator and Coordinator, Climate Change Awareness Club, NYSC, Oyo State, Nigeria. I have participated on many seminars, workshops and forums on youth matters, sustainable development, peace and conflict resolutions and also facilitated quite a number of trainings/seminars for young people.
I am presently member of Nigerian Environmental Study/Action Team (NEST), member Nigerian Youth Climate Coalition (NYCC), member Nigeria Conservation Foundation (NCF), member Center for Peace Building and Disaster Relief (CEPADR), member Center for Disaster and Crisis Management (CDCM),Projeckthope International, and ProjectShield. to see active youth participation in developmental issues funds for projects, media etc Environment, youth development, climate change, public analyst
My Vision for the Future
to see a united world, with black and white emanicipation!

Sylvester Stallone is currently shooting the upcoming sequel The Expendables 2, but this summer Stallone was hard at work on his next movie, the action flick Bullet to the Head.
The movie stars Stallone as a New Orleans hitman who partners with a New York cop (Fast Five's Sung Kang) to bring down the men who killed their respective partners. Entertainment Tonight visited the set and talked to Stallone, who describes the fights scenes that director Walter Hill (48 Hours, Warriors) has developed for Stallone and his main adversary, Jason Momoa (Conan the Barbarian), whom Stallone says has a physical advantage over him. "I don't think I've ever seen a guy move like this," admitted Stallone, who also discusses his neck injury from the first Expendables movie.
Adapted from the French graphic novel Du Plomb dans la Tête by screenwriter Alessandro Camon (The Messenger), Bullet to the Head co-stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra), Holt McCallany (The Losers), Christian Slater (Heathers) and Sarah Shahi (I Don't Know How She Does It).

UPDATE: I spoke with Laura Peet of Diageo, and the banner is indeed real.
She explained that Diageo is sensitive to their local markets,
understand what is and is not acceptable in those markets, and they use
their iconic advertising to connect with and support local consumers
(and yes, admittedly, to advertise).
She mentioned that when looking at an ad like this with our eyes, we
may question its taste, but in the local markets this ad
has been viewed as being supportive of the area and the Lebanese people.
I did search around the Internet and it appears that web-sites which
focus on Beirut and Lebanon have been receptive and appreciative of
this particular ad.
It's also important to keep in mind that Lebanon has a substantial
Catholic population and is not a wholly Muslim country as many people
believe, so an ad for an alcoholic beverage is not beyond the pale.

Reviews for Anno 2070 Deep Ocean (NA)
Expands and details underwater part of the gametzarinakatarina | Sept. 12, 2013 | See all tzarinakatarina's reviews »
For an Anno 2070 player, Deep Ocean adds another civilization level - the techs can receive a new level of genius. These geniuses allow to access new gameplay elements like production chains, vehicles, items, or a monument, etc. Deep Ocean also allows to overtake enemy territory without any military forces. Then there are also underwater power stations providing geothermal power, and it can even be transferred between islands. The tsunami is a new natural threat that was introduced, just like new achievements, missions and career paths. With so much content, Anno 2070 Deep Ocean is a great addition to Anno 2070, and I am sure it will make it even more exciting for fans of the game.

behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 7:59 AM EDTWe recently had to buy a new car- which was last minute and therefore 19 month old DS came with us. While in the lots DS asked to sit in the front seat- which DH allowed- and he loved it. My inlaws (mostly just gma) babysit once a week for about 90 minutes and we know that they both allowed it the week after (a month ago). We then had some trouble getting him in and out of the car without a 20 minute struggle about driving, and had a discussion with both of them, asking them to stop. We think- last week DH came home and gma/DS were in the driveway- that gma is still allowing it, although she denies it. DS cried for an hour solid that evening when DH took him in, and gma had to leave because he was so bad - crying stopped the second she drove off.
The past week has been awful. Up to one hour long screaming tantrums on the way out of the car to walk to daycare, back in the car at the end of day care, out of the car at home, and the same with DH's car. He will stare at them from the window- it just breaks my heart. But we feel like this is happening because gma allowed it again, and DH is determined to stop the behavior by not allowing DS to do it. I am torn- I don't think that DS understands what is going on, and why it is sometimes allowed and not (and don't have an issue with allowing this behavior specifically) but I am the one dealing with most of the crying because I do daycare drop off and pick up and that is getting frustrating (especially given his kicking/fighting and my increasing large pregnancy belly!)
So- my questions.... (1) we turned DS's car seat when we got the new car. Have people seen this behavior in children who can finally see you driving (e.g., is this a combination of stuff?) (2) how do you determine when it is a behavior or interest that will wane with exposure (e.g., less exciting the more we do it) vs. it will become more enjoyed. (3) how do you handle in-laws who aren't truthful about what they are doing with your kids?
and, we selected gma to provide care because she doesn't have a routine chance to see him that frequently (and will never ask, so we have to plan these things on the weekend and invite her, etc. seemed like a perfect match), and it is time limited (overlap ends in june). However, she also got very upset when we did hire an outside babysitter for two evenings out saying very negative things about us to other family members, so we feel a little trapped. If we hire a sitter for the next few weeks, there will be significant ripples in her relationship with DH (and definitely me, who is typically blamed for things).
thanks for any advice
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 8:24 AM EDTI'm not sure about the whole Grandma issue, but in regards to DS's tantrums, I've recently begun reading the Happiest Toddler on the Block and I'd highly recommend it if you haven't read it already. In the first part Dr Karp deals specifically with how to handle a raging toddler. Briefly, the most important point he makes is to first and foremost acknowledge what your child wants to do, in as plain of language as possible. "Sit in front! Sit in front! You want to sit in front!" Your DS wants to be heard and understood. If/when he feels you "get him" he will start to calm down and then you can get into, "No, you can't sit in front, but look at the great view you have from back here in your cool seat! Do you want to read Cat in the Hat?/Hold Teddy?/Some distraction"I've tried this with my 23 month old, and she has responded very well to it. For instance she loves the playground and HATES to leave. So usually when we have to go there is a tantrum. So I get down to her level and keep telling her, "Stay and play! Stay and play! You say 'stay and play!!'" Eventually she starts to calm and I tell her we need to go home and have lunch, etc. and give her a stuffed toy to hold to distract her.It's pretty easy and worth a shot! Good luck!

DH used to let DD do this, I never liked it. She would throw a fit when I told her no, and it was probably more difficult because we had a mixed message going. I think that you need to try and be patient with his frustration and just do your best to distract. My pedi told me once, it take only a moment to learn a bad behavior and a very long time to teach a good one. I think about that a lot, especially when I am frustrated at how the same thing (like the wanting to "drive") can trigger time after time.
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 9:31 AM EDTAnother thing that can help with tantrums is to teach your LO to take a deep breath.... I usually do a super exaggerated one where I make my cheeks really big while I hold in the breath. That gets DD distracted from crying for a split second, then I try to have her breathe with me. I use it in combination with the "Happiest Toddler" techniques, because I have found that DD needs the extra help of trying a couple of deep breaths to stop crying. She just can't figure out how to stop on her own when she is in full tantrum mode.As far as the being in the front of the car, it is really hard to say what is the motivation. It could be the tantrums are only partially related to being in the front, and are because the combination of new car plus car seat forward is freaking him out a bit. Or because he sees how strongly everyone reacts when he has a meltdown by the car. (it is so hard not to react strongly when you need to be in the car to go somewhere on a tight schedule, and your LO is just NOT cooperating).I wonder if you made a big deal about him getting into his special seat when he goes to the car (start talking it up while still in the house if you have to) if that would help reduce the struggles? Also now that his seat is forward, can he try climbing into it himself? It might add more time to getting into the car, so it doesn't always help if you are in a hurry, but when DD was starting to be able to climb, she would pitch a fit if we didn't let her try to get in by herself.
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 9:32 AM EDTWinter, this behavior sounds very typical for a two year old who has very definite ideas about what he/she wants to do but rarely is allowed to make his/her own decisions. My DD (26 months) is the exact same way in certain situations. I wholeheartedly agree with the poster who mentioned getting down to his level and articulating what his thoughts are. I really think my DD responds better and behaves better when she knows that we 100% understand what she wants. Otherwise, she feels frustrated and that prolongs the tantrum.
Regarding the car issue - because this is a huge problem that seems to be happening each time you get into the car, maybe it would be worth buying him some cool toy like a pretend steering wheel or a new toy car/truck that he only gets to hold when he is sitting in the car and buckled into his carseat. He does not get the toy at any other time, maybe this would provide enough of a distraction/incentive for him to want to get into his seat? My DD responds very well to distractions, its the most effective way of us getting her to do what she wants.
Regarding the MIL issue - it's tough with IL's because they can make a little thing into a big issue that plagues you for awhile. My advice, honestly, would be to talk to her specifically about the car issue and explain to her (when DS isn't around) the problems that letting him play in the front is leading to, and maybe have her list some "suggestions" or "ideas" of her own as to how to help him. If she feels that she is part of the solution then she may be more willing to implement it, as opposed to prolonging the problem by sneaking around behind your back. Beause your need for her to provide childcare is limited in nature and only for another month or two, I'd probably just try to deal with each issue as you need to and not make it a big thing that will impact your relationship for long term. If she was your primary caregiver for an undefined period of time, then of course I'd think you should talk to her, but because it's a short period of time only, I think it may be better for you to just minimize the conflict and address each issue separately (hopefully there won't be many of them!)
Good luck!! Toddlers are tough!
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 10:18 AM EDTDS used to love to pretend to drive the car. Not going to lie, it was a phase that took a long time to grow out of (pretty much an entire summer). Trying to move him from the driver's seat to the back seat resulted in huge temper tantrums. I would give him a time limit - "you can drive until the end of 'Row Row Row Your Boat'" and I would sing the song and at the end attempt to move him into his seat. Sometimes, straight out bribery worked - "You can have fruit snacks (or a sticker or your truck) if you sit in your car seat."
He occasionally still likes to sit in the front seat, but I keep a little drawing pad and books in the back so it's easier to distract him nowadays. I see a lot of that going on daycare as well; I think it's just the whole modelling behaviors at that age. Mom and Dad drive; I want to be like Mom and Dad; I can drive. At least, that's how we took it. I started sitting in the back with him on short trips - to the grocery store, to get gas, etc. - if DH was with me, so that he could see Mom sit in the backseat, too.
As for the MIL issue, that's hard and I have a lot of sympathy for you on that. I had a battle of wills with my inlaws over their dog and the way it interacted with DS when he was smaller (it's too long a story to get into it and will also just send my blood pressure through the roof). I know that occasionally they look at DH and I and think: we raised a family and the two of you are telling us what we can do and not do? It stinks to have your wishes disregarded and it's also hard because DH gets put into the middle. My MIL tells me all the time it's her perogerative to spoil him as gma, but it's different to "spoil" your grandkid and disregard our wishes, which we've tried really hard to respectfully discuss our wishes versus their actions with them. It's tough, though, and it's always an evolving thing. Good luck!
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 10:19 AM EDTI feel like this is not car-specific and it reminds me of something we are currently dealing with at home. It also reminds me of the post a while back about a DD wanting to be naked all the time at home, Lemon suggested "naked time" and that seemed to work for the OP. I'm applying the same technique at home.
We REALLY minimize TV at our house, but DD (also 19 months) came home from gma's, handed DH the remote for the TV and demanded "Elmo" and it has been unceasing all weekend! I feel you on the gma's rules thing!
I think they key is making time for it. For us, she's allowed to watch Elmo on YouTube for 5-10 minutes after she's had her eye drops (which she currently needs, and really hates) every morning and night.
For you it might be, it's not time for the front seat NOW. Front seat time might be when you pull into the driveway at home before going in the house for dinner. Make time for Front Seat time, and use it as a bargaining chip "if you get in your car seat nicely after daycare, when we get home it's front seat time!"
As for MIL, ugh. Like someone mentioned, tell her it has to be a special thing, that he's throwing fits in the car causing you to be late for work or whatever, and he's kicking and that is not safe at this point in your pregnancy (or ever really!). Connect the dots and show her this "harmless" thing has some pretty serious consequences.

DS throws fits leaving DC as well. He will run to give me a hug and then just wants to play and explore. Getting him into the carseat is especially challenging. So I let him walk around the car for a while then he starts asking for milk/toy/banana whatever and I say we can have it at home but we can not go home till ds is in his seat. Letting him have that time to explore helps and he is starting to get in his seat quicker and quicker, especially with the prospects of his sandbox at home.
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 12:50 PM EDTI originally read this as your MIL *driving* with the LO in the front seat! Glad that is not the case. :)
We are also "undoing" horrible meal habits after a sick week and then the holiday weekend (with lots of grandma). Off schedule, grown ups noshing all day, real meal not until 3 PM, et cetera... now she wants to get in and out of her chair, sit on laps during meals, et cetera. Ugh.
So we are in the same boat.
For the car, I particularly like ML's suggestion of specified play time, but getting some clear signal for when it is happening and when it is not. Our LO loves to do buckles and she wants to do the chest buckle in the car seat. I have had to crack down that she can do the backpack or chair buckles over and over at home, but when we get in the car she only can do it one time. Because I let her do the car seat one a few times when we were not in a rush but then it was a fiasco the next time I actually needed to go to work. It took about a week for her to stop crying for buckles all the time in the car and now she will say "one time" when I put her in.
GL! It's so trying.
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 1:49 PM EDTthanks so much everyone- I have worked really hard with the distractions in the car. We have a bag with lots of distractions (books with sound, small toys, trucks, etc, because we have a long commute- he also gets his lovey and a bink- so maybe I need something new), and even though he is still upset, it is do-able to get him calmed down and re-engaged. I think I have a lot more patience with this type of behavior than DH, so when it is just the two of us, he seems to calm faster (I do try and give him words like was rec'd, but he has a speech delay, which I think just amps up the frustration). Twice last week I had to stop driving to give him a hug, which also seemed to work (With lots of talk about what was at home to get to).
this weekend just killed me, because he got all these new toys for easter and we went to the playground, and he still just wanted to sit in the front seat.
I am also wondering how much of this developmental- a bit of what KMMZ mentioned. I was peeling apples to make dessert yesterday afternoon, and DS just walked up and insisted on trying it. I had him take off the stickers "to help" but am a little worried about what this will look like in 5 years, when he is more capable of actually doing some of these things.
Thanks for all of the ideas- definitely a lot for DH and I to talk about. and, sorry for being a bit MIA on the boards lately.
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 2:56 PM EDTHa. The apple stickers thing makes me thing of how obsessed DD is with "helping" me in the kitchen. I have the cleanest bag of potatoes in the commonwealth. I basically put her stool at the sink, give her 10 potatoes, a bowl of water, and the potato brush and ask her to please clean the potatoes. Sometimes she gets angry when I don't cook the potatoes. Then I have her dry them and put them back in the bag. Sometimes I give her dishes to "wash."
She's actually getting really good at setting the table and emptying the dishwasher (which is nice, because it cuts down on me bending over to empty the dishwasher).
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/9/2012 3:48 PM EDTYou've gotten so many great ideas here. Let me just add that my DS loves to "drive" too. We use the "When we get home, you can drive". I also have the luxury of letting him sit in front while I buckle in his twin sister.
One thing - make sure your keys are IN YOUR POCKET. I have a friend who got locked out of her car when her DS hit the door lock button while playing in the front seat.
As far as grandma's go - you have to play these things by ear. I usually figure free babysitting, espeically with someone I know loves my children, trumps most behavioral issues. Sometimes we say - "only at nana's" or something as a way to allow a behavior over there, but not at home.
Harvey Karp is great - I highly recommend for anyone dealing with tantrums, whining etc. (and who isn't?)

sweet. last night I asked DD to get her pink shirt off the floor in her room and put it in the washing machine. she did, but then went back to her room and pulled a (clean) pair of pants out of the drawer and put them in the washing machine! and then repeated. It was so sweet that I ended up washing four pairs of clean pants.
I guess these are the things that balance the others... :) Other than that, yesterday was full of toddler demands! I am definitely going to look at that book.
Re: behavioral support/"undoing" in young toddlers
posted at 4/10/2012 11:29 AM EDTJust downloaded the Karp "Happiest Toddler" book last night after reading this post. I'm only 2 chapters in and I just love the way he explains things. I really liked the "Happiest Baby" book so I think I'm already partial to his thoughts. One thing so interesting already is his separation of kids into "Easy," "Shy," and "Spirited." I believe he will talk about ways to deal with each, and I'm sure some kids are some of both... but "Shy" pinpointed my son to a T. I've got my kindle in my bag and hope I can sneak a few more pages at lunch :-)We've also had our share of MIL (Nana) issues and I tend to take Lilly's approach. While we pay her for her M and F services, we don't on weekends for true "babysitting." She says that is when she is just Nana and not caregiver. And I have always known he is 100% fine when with her... so I balance the few things she does on her own (and I have had to mention, like when she randomly started his afternoon bottle again at 15 mths!!!) with all that she has done for us and DS.

I am looking at the current project structure. If we want to make another build tool available I think we need to change the directory structure. I tried to place a suggestion in an image. Can you please have a look at it. If we agree that this is a good way to go, than I will continue to work on a patch. Which might be a bit hard with all these changing directories, but I'll do my best to at least get an idea whether it would be working.
So I have three questions:
- Do you want to move to maven or put maven next to ant?

idea of the directory structure
This proposed change has a number of features I don't understand the reasons for:
(1) Breaking up modules and putting pieces of that all over the place
(2) Taking jetty-runner out of framework
(3) Introducing a "src" directory under each of the framework components
(4) Moving the tests so far away from the code they are related to
Can you describe your logic for this reorganization?
Re: build preferences
Continuing to have an ant build is actually pretty important for some modes of delivery. I'm specifically thinking of debian and Ubuntu packaging here. Maven does not work well with these packaging schemes because it's too all-encompassing. We therefore need a way of doing builds locally, without pulling things down from a mirror.
My original thought was that we'd have multiple layers - ant being the most basic, with a maven wrapper available to pull down what the ant build needed, and have the maven build call ant underneath. I don't know how realistic that is, but it does solve all the problems if it can be done that way.
As a response to the remark from Karl
(1) Breaking up modules and putting pieces of that all over the place
I do not think they are all over the place, maybe I am thinking wrong about the modules part, but for me modules is not really clear. At the moment we have documentation, modules and tests. I suggest a slightly more separated mode with: documentation, integration-tests, framework, connectors and environment. The only change is to move some stuff from modules into a new part environment en move the other parts of modules one level up.
(2) Taking jetty-runner out of framework
I do not think that Jetty is part of your framework, you create war files and give the option for an easy start using Jetty. But maybe I am wrong.
(3) Introducing a "src" directory under each of the framework components
At the moment when running ant. You get a lot of folders of which it is not always easy to understand whether they are original source folders or not. That is why maven comes with a clear separation of src, generated-source and target for other generated content. To my opinion this makes it easier to see what is under version control and what is not.
Check the maven page for more explanation.
(4) Moving the tests so far away from the code they are related to
I am not sure if I was clear enough on this. In the original code base a test folder is available next to modules. For unit tests I would keep them as close as possible to the source code. Therefore we have the src/main and src/test in the same module. The integration tests are another beast. Usually a lot of environmental setup needs to be done, they take longer, and you might want to store them in a different folder so you can run them all at once. Another option would be to add them next to the unit tests in a different folder [src/main, src/test/ and src/integration-test] or use a different naming scheme. **Test.java and **IntegrationTest.java That way you can folder them out as well and use the maven lifecycle to decide whether to run unit test or both unit and integration tests.
As for the part where we need ant to make certain deliveries, we can still do that. Than you have two options, or run the ant command to make these deliverables yourself, or add them to the package lifecycle stage of maven. It is not hard to call ant from maven. You could even create the mother of all ant build file that calls maven to build the framework and the conenctors.

I suggest a slightly more separated mode with: documentation, integration-tests, framework, connectors and environment. The only change is to move some stuff from modules into a new part environment en move the other parts of modules one level up.
Each thing under modules is something you'd want to build separately, which is why I chose the arrangement in the first place. If I were deploying these on a debian system, each would be its own package. That is, each connector would necessarily be its own package, as would mod-authz-annotate, and java-environment. Indeed, java-environment was originally a debian package that was part of the LCF software grant and has not been modified even to build, because it in effect represented a Debian java deployment framework rather than actual code. Same thing with postgres-config, except that was for postgresql configuration under Debian. Furthermore, mod-authz-annotate is C, and probably cannot be built under maven (or do I have that wrong?)
Therefore, for a maven build we should plan on building the following as SEPARATE maven deliverables/targets:
- (1) Each connector
- (2) The framework
If there is a way to build C stuff under maven, then this too should be a maven deliverable/target:
- (3) mod-authz-annotate
These should exist in the tree but be ignored for now, since they are not applicable to maven at all:
- (4) java-environment
- (5) postgres-config
(2) Taking jetty-runner out of framework
I do not think that Jetty is part of your framework, you create war files and give the option for an easy start using Jetty. But maybe I am wrong.
I set the jetty example and runner up so that they do not have explicit dependencies on any individual connectors, and thus they're built as part of the framework, which they DO have a dependency on. A case could be made for having these be separated into their own module-level component, in which case they'd also be their own maven deliverable.
(3) Introducing a "src" directory under each of the framework components
At the moment when running ant. You get a lot of folders of which it is not always easy to understand whether they are original source folders or not. That is why maven comes with a clear separation of src, generated-source and target for other generated content. To my opinion this makes it easier to see what is under version control and what is not.
Check the maven page for more explanation.
I will read the page. It seems to me that we'd need to agree what the maven deliverables would be before we can decide where the "src" directory goes. If the framework is a component all by itself (and I think it should be), then naturally the structure would be "modules/framework/src/..." instead. Does maven allow multiple jars in a deliverable? That would be a necessary condition.
(4) Moving the tests so far away from the code they are related to
I am not sure if I was clear enough on this. In the original code base a test folder is available next to modules. For unit tests I would keep them as close as possible to the source code. Therefore we have the src/main and src/test in the same module. The integration tests are another beast. Usually a lot of environmental setup needs to be done, they take longer, and you might want to store them in a different folder so you can run them all at once. Another option would be to add them next to the unit tests in a different folder [src/main, src/test/ and src/integration-test] or use a different naming scheme. **Test.java and **IntegrationTest.java That way you can folder them out as well and use the maven lifecycle to decide whether to run unit test or both unit and integration tests.
As of right now, there are three kinds of tests in the system: Unit tests (which are checked in in the module they are to test), integration unit tests (which are checked in at the "modules" level), and full integration tests that are a legacy of the LCF code grant (which are checked in in the "tests" directory above the modules level). The full integration tests are not executed but were meant to furnish the rudiments of a test plan,as well as useful bits for manipulating repositories themselves during test processes, and thus must be considered "reference material" at this time. The "documentation" directory above the modules level has a similar history.
I put the integration unit tests under "modules" because the main build script was checked in at the "modules" level, and it needs to run those tests. If we move the mail build script higher up, the integration unit tests can move up also.
As for the part where we need ant to make certain deliveries, we can still do that. Than you have two options, or run the ant command to make these deliverables yourself, or add them to the package lifecycle stage of maven. It is not hard to call ant from maven. You could even create the mother of all ant build file that calls maven to build the framework and the conenctors.
Let's settle the basic questions first, and then revisit the best way to do the maven build.
- Compiling C with maven : I have no experience with that
- Multiple jars: I know people have done it. I would not do it however. Create a pom and structure for each module. Group the module by using a parent pom and a directory structure.
- I agree that each connector should be a component on its own, with its own pom.
- The fact that jetty has a dependency on the framework is no problem at all. We can just create an internal dependency and release them together if necessary.
What is the next best step? Come up with a directory structure that is synchronized with our ideas of the different components?
I can change the image, but we can also do something on the wiki or on the description of this issue.
Planning things out in the wiki is not a bad idea at all. This ticket is also a reasonable forum.
I think the first step is to agree on the individual maven deliverables/targets.
The one-jar-per-maven-package restriction is going to dictate significant changes, because the way things are jar'd right now that would require either the breakup of the "framework" module into multiple components, OR the consolidation of the entire framework into a single jar. But the fact is that framework is NOT just a bunch of jars, it's also 3 war files. Those are as much a necessary part of the framework as are the jars. Is there a maven model for war files, too? I understand maven was primarily conceived as a way of handling jar dependencies, which may make it less suitable for dealing with ACF than we'd hoped. When I originally was thinking about maven, I worried more about the input dependencies than the targets. It seems we need to understand the targets. Can you make a proposal as to what maven targets you think we should have, and what they should include?
It occurs to me that maybe ACF is better suited to work with ivy, since that is specifically designed to deal with input dependencies, and does have a rigid notion of targets.
I'll try to come up with something tonight. Today I am at a customer so I cannot spend to much time.
Web projects are no problem at all. You can even have dependencies between webproject. Althought I would try to make dependencies on jars only.
I'll come up with a directory structure and the components based on the deliverables or the targets.
It further occurs to me that the only jars you will ever need to depend on in ACF are the ones that you'd build connectors against. So, now I'm getting glimmers of a possible combined maven/ivy build where we have only one maven target, which is basically the jars acf-core, acf-core-ui, acf-agents, and acf-pull-agent, and where every other module in ACF is built using ivy to pull down dependencies that are needed. Of course, this would presume you wanted to build connectors independently of building ACF itself, which I could go either way on at the moment...
Web projects are no problem at all. You can even have dependencies between webproject. Althought I would try to make dependencies on jars only.
The question is, who would want to depend on any individual ACF war files? If there's a need, then fine, but I don't see one here. The only use case I can come up with for anybody depending on ACF is on the main framework jars, which could be consolidated into one jar quite readily. I would therefore propose breaking up modules/framework into two pieces: "modules/framework-core", and "modules/framework", or some such. "framework-core" would contain what's currently in framework/core, framework/ui-core, framework/agents, and framework/pull-agent, and would have both an ant build and a maven build that wraps it. "framework" would contain "crawler-ui", "api', "authorityservice", and the jetty stuff, and would have a straight ant build and an ant-with-ivy build wrapping that. Each connector would have an ant build and a wrapping ant-ivy build also.
This is a first go on moving to maven. I started refactoring the framework part. This should give a good idea of what is possible. Of course we are nog there. I did not really touch any of the scripts. There is also one dependency you have to install locally. You'll see it when you try to run maven. Advice on ho to install it locally is provided when it fails.
I am not sure if this patch will run, it is a big one. Hope for the best
When the patch is successfully applied, go to the modules/framework folder and try:
mvn clean install
then step into crawler-ui and do
mvn clean jetty:run-war
Use you browser to go to localhost:8080 and you can see the crawler-ui web app. If you connect to an existing database, you should be able to see the configure connections lists. Not more than that, than we need to put the connectors on the classpath.
I'd be happy to do something similar for the connectors. But than we must be sure that this is the way to go. It takes a lot of time.
It looks to me like you adopted the one-jar-per-maven-script approach, with no coalescing of jars, but instead introducing /src/main under each of the subtargets within framework. I'd really like instead to make our job easier by at least combining the framework main jars together into one target first, along the lines I described above. I'd also like to get a sense of the overall picture before proceeding, so can we discuss what individual maven targets there are that you are proposing, and what each of them is, before we undertake any changes of this kind? The individual connector ones are obvious, but I'm concerned about stuff like the integration tests and the quick-start jetty package. How do you cover those in a maven build?
Sorry, but why is it easier to have one src for the complete framework. To my opinion the source code becomes a lot easier to understand if you make it explicit what the different modules are. Besides that, maven just does not work that way. It is also a lot harder when depending on these parts. The way I see it, we have already three different war files. The other jars are shared between the three war files. This way it becomes clear what deliverables there are without looking at the code. Just he directory structure is enough. It is also very easy to just compile/package one component. Step into the right directory and execute mvn clean install and you are done.
I can imagine that the scripts and ant files become a little more complicated to change, but I think it is worth the effort to get a cleaner project layout.
I did not have a good look at the Jetty runner yet. But I see it is a class with a very large main method. With maven it is not hard to make an executable jar file. Together with the assembly plugin and an overlay of the original crawler this should not be to hard to create.
The integration tests can be put in one project to store them all, but you can also place the integration tests into the project that it is actually testing. Maven has a lifecycle phase for integration tests. Not sure that for instance the FileSystems tests are actually doing. What to they need to run? I see they have a requirement for multiple war files. So it seems logical to me to put them in a separate module. Give them dependencies on the framework modules and run them of you are executing the integration-test phase of maven.
The environment related projects can be executed like they are executed now using ant. We can for instance create one maven module on top of them that executes these builds together with the package phase of maven. We could also provide a profile that the build is only executed if you explicitly tell it to.
I hope this makes sense to you. Sometime it is hard to explain for me because I am so used to using maven nowadays that I might overlook something why others think it is hard to use.
I am ok with postponing any jar coalescing until later. All I'd hoped to do was to make fewer jars, but that's not necessary for now.
I notice you did not supply a build.xml change with the patch. I will need to supply the necessary hierarchy reorganizations and the build.xml changes before you will be able to post anything like a complete patch. My goal is going to be to maintain the current build in a working fashion, at least until it is clear that maven can meet all the requirements that are covered by the ant build, and that is not clear yet. I will work on the reorganization tonight, and commit the changes when I believe they are correct and have been verified as working. Then, please comment as to whether you feel they are adequate for your needs.
Very cool
I am the last person to comment about maven, but i noticed tika has a maven build that builds a large single jar that contains
all classes from dependencies
Perhaps it would be a useful example if you want to do this 'jar coalescing'
I rearranged the framework part of the tree to what I believe will satisfy maven. The rest of the tree I will cover in a subsequent check-in, provided I got this part right. Can you verify that the current tree is correct, and can you upload a new maven patch based on the new tree?
I am now ready to commit the connectors reorganization also, once I hear back.
I did a quick check and it seems to be fine. If you commit the connector changes as well I'll try to commit a patch for both tonight.
Connectors reorg also committed. r990100.
I see you have created two modules for the api-service. Is there a good reason for that? The servlet is not within the web project. In my original idea I created two modules, but maybe you have a good reason to create two?
Wouldn't it be better to rename the *-servlet into something like war or web. There will probably be more things in there than a servlet.
Wouldn't it be better to rename the *-servlet into something like war or web. There will probably be more things in there than a servlet.
No, really, there's just the servlet.
All that I did was break the authority service into a separate web application and jar file. Both of these were built before under the heading of "authority-service", but since we're getting rigorous, I separated out the targets. Did the same thing for the api - there's now a servlet, and a service, one yields a jar, the other a war (which includes the jar).
I should also clarify that, to me, "servlet" is not just a single class in any case, but a body of functionality responsible for fielding web requests. So I think the "servlet" label is quite accurate. Others, of course, doubtless have different definitions.
Oke, thats fine. But is the projects *-servlet a war? is that the web project?
No, the directories ending in -service produce wars. Those ending in -servlet produce a jar.
This is a patch that addes poms to the framework part. It runs after you have installed the one missing jar.
In the end the mvn clean install should be successful in the root of the framework directory
In the crawler-ui project you can do : mvn clean jetty:run-war
This will start up the crawler-ui, only after you have copied the conenctors that you need to the src/config/local/connector-lib
Than asking for a list of connectors results in a database error. I just cannot get the Derby instance to run. The database is created but if seems not to be running. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

If you are using maven to start jetty directly, it will not work. You are missing the jetty runner, which only starts jetty at the end of a number of steps, including creating the database properly and setting up the schema and registering the connectors. Then, the crawler itself is started as a separate thread.
It took me many weeks to get everything to work properly using jetty. Changing all this stuff around does not seem either warranted or useful at this time. I strongly recommend that you concentrate on using maven to actually build the software, and not try to re-engineer the example right now.
I've had a cursory glance at the pom files and they all look reasonable. I'm going to play around with this a bit locally to see how it behaves, and then if all seems OK I am happy to commit those.
I take that back for crawler-ui/pom.xml. This seems to be trying to set up a running version of the framework plus a couple of connectors. I don't think that's the right place for that logic; I'd prefer it just did a straight build of the crawler-ui web application. The example runner, if we do one under maven, really belongs at the "modules" level.
Will you be submitting a patch that pares down crawler-ui/pom.xml, or shall I just edit the current artifact accordingly?
I am afraid the crawler-ui is not done yet. I think we are missing libraries. What I was trying to do is make it run and see what I was missing. But the way I understand it now, I must choose another path to make it run. This seemed the most easy thing to do. I am still thinking about why this is so hard. Would be nice to have something like a servlet or filter that initializes everything that you do in your special runner now. But if you spend a lot of time getting it right, it must not be the easiest thing to do.
I will come with a better patch, hope to be able to build something that I can actually test using the sample.
I am still thinking about why this is so hard. Would be nice to have something like a servlet or filter that initializes everything that you do in your special runner now.
The issues have to do with these facts:
- Embedded derby is single-process. You cannot run more than one process against a given database at a given time.
- ACF supports both single-process and multi-process models, but IF you're going to use single-process, you need to have a main class that starts up all the threads that would otherwise be different processes. That's what jetty-runner does, in part.
So, obviously, something like jetty-runner needs to exist if you are going to use derby. I don't think maven magic will suffice to replace the code that does that.
Furthermore, I think trying to get maven to do this for us is overkill. I'm open to suggestions, but I still don't think you need to solve this problem in order to have ACF be built effectively by maven.
What I think we need to build at the framework level are all the jars and wars (which it looks like you have pretty well specified), PLUS a start.jar (which I didn't see anywhere - did I miss it?). Then your example execution will not be a "jetty instance" per se, but will simply fire off the equivalent of "java -jar start.jar". I can't believe there isn't a maven plugin for that. This, of course, must happen at the modules level, because no connectors will be available at the framework level.
This patch creates all the framework jars and wars as well as a start.jar in the jetty-runner project. The jars need to be in the same location as in the ant generated jar file. The lib folder.
Later on we can create a module that grabs all libraries and wars, puts them in the right directory structure.
Committed those additions. r990908.
I noticed that jetty-runner/pom.xml does not seem to have anything specifying external jars in a classpath. Therefore, I believe that the produced start.jar will not properly function. Have you tried this in practice yet? You will want to include the derby jars, and probably most of the jars specified on the maven dependency page. Be aware that that page is somewhat out of date, and (for instance) the tomcat jars are not needed unless you actually try to compile the jsp's.
Another way you can determine what's supposed to be a dependency is to look at the start.jar produced by the ant build:
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="lib/commons-codec.jar lib/commons-collections.jar lib/commons-el.jar lib/commons-fileupload.jar lib/commons-httpclient-acf.jar lib/commons-io.jar lib/commons-logging.jar lib/derbyclient.jar lib/derby.jar lib/derbyLocale_cs.jar lib/derbyLocale_de_DE.jar lib/derbyLocale_es.jar lib/derbyLocale_fr.jar lib/derbyLocale_hu.jar lib/derbyLocale_it.jar lib/derbyLocale_ja_JP.jar lib/derbyLocale_ko_KR.jar lib/derbyLocale_pl.jar lib/derbyLocale_pt_BR.jar lib/derbyLocale_ru.jar lib/derbyLocale_zh_CN.jar lib/derbyLocale_zh_TW.jar lib/derbynet.jar lib/derbyrun.jar lib/derbytools.jar lib/eclipse-ecj.jar lib/jasper-6.0.24.jar lib/jasper-el-6.0.24.jar lib/jdbcpool-0.99.jar lib/jetty-6.1.22.jar lib/jetty-util-6.1.22.jar lib/jsp-api-2.1-glassfish-9.1.1.B60.25.p2.jar lib/json.jar lib/acf-agents.jar lib/acf-core.jar lib/acf-jetty-runner.jar lib/acf-pull-agent.jar lib/acf-ui-core.jar lib/log4j-1.2.jar lib/postgresql.jar lib/serializer.jar lib/servlet-api-2.5-20081211.jar lib/tomcat-juli-6.0.24.jar lib/xalan2.jar lib/xercesImpl-lcf.jar lib/xml-apis.jar"/>
Note that commons-httpclient-acf.jar is our own version of commons-httpclient, and must therefore NOT be an external dependency.
I've thought about start.jar some more. I think it is essential that maven produce a jar that is functionally identical to the start.jar produced by the ant build, including the relative paths for all the classpath entries. Maven may be unable to directly produce the modules/dist/example output directory in the same way, but that's a different problem. I don't think there's going to be room in the world for two entirely distinct ways of running the example, and I want to avoid that - for documentation reasons, if for none other.
The other reason for wanting the example setup to be identical is because the example organizational assumptions are partly baked into the jetty-runner code at this time. Those could in part be passed in as command-line arguments, but that would make running the example considerably harder, so I'd like to avoid that if possible.
As for the start.jar I do not see a problem. I think I am almost there. THe classpath already contains the lib part, so I only need to add the dependencies to the jetty runner project. As for the example code, I do not mind to keep using and to create the example. I only wanted to have maven to make it easier to setup my development environment and to do the dependency management.
I'll try to come up with an improve pom for the start.jar, if that is not enough please let me know.
Has there been any further progress on this issue?
No, time is my enemy at the moment
I worked on it tonight but I decided to stop. This path is not leading in a direction that I would like. To make most out of maven I would like to change more than you would be willing to right now. I cannot blame you, because you have something working right now. Maybe someone else wants to step in and finish what I have done. I can submit another patch with the stuff I have right now.
Please go ahead and submit everything you have. I'd also like to know what you believe the stumbling blocks to be. Thanks for all your work on this so far.
patch containing a good start to create the start.jar from the jetty-runner project
Not a patch, but a zip containing a few poms for the connectors. The null connector and the jdbc connector have a pom
I think maven is not the right tool at the moment due to the libraries that are used that are not available in any repository, the way the sample is started. The dependencies that seem to be copied to each project. I am spending a lot of time on creating an assembly, but that is not really the part where maven shines.
This issue has stalled. The work done so far has created a reasonable directory structure with a pom.xml everywhere it needs to be. However, beyond that, nothing more has happened.
It might be worth researching ant with ivy at this point, since that would be a natural extension of the current build system, rather than trying to go the maven route entirely.
We now have a maven build system, in addition to ant, that was contributed elsewhere, so I'm closing this ticket.

I've very little experience with polishing cass. optics and don't even have a spherometer so I have a question for the experts.
It seems the easiest option is to repolish the primary to fix the TDE and smoothen the surface but keep the overall correction as is. Recoat it and then repolish the secondaries using the startest to test or possibly test through the back. Use a comacorrector.
The other option is to refigure the primary to a parabola and refigure the secondaries to a hyperbola using startest. Is this feasible using the existing radii of curvature?
Here's the foucault.
