3.5 16 9
Flavored with cinnamon and apples, Sherry Ashenfelter's rich, old-fashioned apple cake is down-home delicious, with less than half the fat of the original recipe she shared in Waterville, Ohio .
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup sugar blend
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups finely chopped peeled tart apples
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- 1-1/4 cups reduced-fat whipped topping
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar, applesauce, sugar blend, eggs, oil and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda; gradually beat into sugar mixture until blended. Fold in apples and walnuts.
- Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 28-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with whipped topping. Yield: 20 servings.
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Splenda sugar blend.

Zorba Philippidis
From Grand Theft Wiki
Zorba Philippidis in 2008 was the captain of the Platypus ship. Shortly after the Platypus had docked Zorba's body was found floating in the Humboldt River. The autopsy revealed he had drowned, and that he also had an immense amount of alcohol in his system. The remains of Captain Philippidis have been returned to his wife in Thailand, implying that Zorba was originally from there (although his name is clearly Greek).

Pushing Out Papers While a Pushover
Letting the student graduate before all the papers that we have agreed on are written up and submitted.
It's always the same -- there is a job opportunity, or some other time-sensitive extraneous impetus, so the student must graduate sooner rather than later. The student pleads and swears to high heaven that they will wrap up all the still-looming papers afterwards, if only you let them finish. And then they graduate and the papers never happen.
My colleague across the hall has lost a number of papers like that: the student leaves, stops keeping contact, and the papers are never even drafted. With a close collaborator a similar situation happened recently: a student received a nice job offer from a big company, with one half-written paper still in the works. The student graduated and left months ago, and has since been completely incommunicado. We have dropped the project altogether, as the collaborator and the new student haven't been able to make sense of the data left behind (what was measured and what not, what exact conditions etc.) A lot of work is simply lost because the collaborator does not have the time or the money to repeat everything with the new student; the experimental data is quite interesting and somewhat counterintuitive. My postdoc and I have been working on the theory, which we will also drop since there now isn't sufficient experimental data to confirm that the counterintuitive phenomenon is indeed happening and is not an artifact.
Although I promised myself I would never do that to myself -- let the student graduate before all his/her obligations to the group have been fulfilled (the papers we have agreed on are written up and submitted), it turns out I am as much of a pushover as the next faculty, if not more. I am facing a similar situation with two of my group members, one former student but still here, postdoc(k)ing temporarily, one still a student.
I let the temp postdoc graduate at the end of 2010 because we figured a couple of months would not mean much, and graduating in 2010 (sooner) looks better on his CV than 2011 (later). He was going to stay as a temporary and part-time postdoc while interviewing for jobs and wrapping up two more papers. Instead, in the 3 months he's been here after the PhD, all he's been doing is cramming for his interviews, going on interviews, and he started training to do experiments with some of my experimental collaborators. I have been paying him this entire time. He only just gave me a pathetic draft -- unworthy of a second-year grad student, let alone someone experienced in writing papers -- of what's supposed to be the crown jewel paper from his thesis, which clearly demonstrates he doesn't give a rat's ass about it any more. Thank you, GMP, for having been my advisor and paying me as an RA for 5 years; now that I have the PhD, even though you are still paying me, I thought this might be a good time to spit in your face.
The other, current graduate student just came back from the APS March Meeting last week, where he spoke with his desired future postdoc advisor, who said he'd take the student but they should make it ASAP as he's got some flex funds expiring in the fall two years from now. So now the student, who has been taking lots of classes, more than what he needed and for longer than he needed to in order to get an MS in a "purer" discipline along the way, all of a sudden wants to crank out 3 papers by the end of the year (yeah, like that's gonna happen with his writing speed) and go do the postdoc. I am completely furious. I am sorry, but I am under the impression that if I pay you as an RA for years, the least you can do is have some time after you are done with classses to do the goddamn research and produce some science that the nice funding agency paying you can show for all the money it expended on you. But that's just me being deluded, right? The only way all these papers are going to happen is if I write them from scratch and he's permitted to work on loose ends at his new position. What's the likelihood of the latter happening?
I know there is an overwhelming sentiment in the blogosphere that faculty are universally bad to students, selfish, unyielding, providing insufficient guidance and oversight, alternatively providing too much oversight/micromanaging/stifling students, or being unaccommodating of the students desires to do this, that, or the other.
But the longer I am faculty, the more cynical I am forced to become. Graduate students can be really quite selfish, too: they are there to forward their own career goals, often willfully ignorant of who actually pays their stipend, that those stipends are not prizes for their awesomeness, but rather money from the federal government for which the advisor's group has to do a certain amount of work. They ignore what goes into acquiring said money, that it's not anybody's God-given right, and that a failure to produce papers damages their group's prospects for doing science in the future.
When the advisor is unyielding about graduation and holds it contingent on certain papers being ready, the advisor is perceived to be a selfish tyrant. Well, when the student leaves all the work behind and never look back after having promised to complete it, I fear the student is a selfish liar.
The PhD advising relationship is a symbiotic one: it's supposed to benefit both the advisor's group and the student's career goals, and it assumes everyone involved is an adult. It's not a parent-child relationship, where the child (student) can count on unconditional love and support no matter how self-centered they are. Failure to produce papers -- and I assure you I am not a GlamourMag-obsessed maniac -- is indeed a grave one, for everyone involved. The work does not, in fact, exist until it has been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Dear faculty colleagues, yes, you can indeed be too much of a pushover: you want to do the right thing and be fair and accommodating of the students' future, but then they end up screwing you over. I, for once, am now considerably less likely to accommodate future requests for great flexibility in graduation dates. I cannot afford falling out of grace with program officers because I am not delivering on promised papers. And I will not keep letting other people down, whose CV's and/or future job prospects may also depend heavily on the work that never gets published. Feel free to call me a tyrant. I consider it a case of "Once bitten, twice shy."

You are SO right, GMP! I have 2 manuscripts on my desk that I just can't get out for similar reasons. The problem is if I try to get students to stay until they are done, I have to keeping paying their salary/tuition. I'd be happy to do this if they were doing what needed to be done, but if they continue to procrastinate and don't finish the paper, it's just money down the drain. A colleague of mine who is a terrific scientist and excellent mentor (in my opinion) did the following: s/he sat down with the 5th year student and said "how long do you need to get this paper finished?". Student said 2 more semesters, so s/he agreed to pay tuition & stipend for 2 more semesters on the condition that the student finish the paper and that s/he would not give permission to graduate unless the paper was submitted. Two semesters went by, the student did all kinds of stuff other than science and (surprise!) the work was not done. The student did not graduate on time and had to pay tuition for an extra semester out of their own pocket. It sounds harsh, but there has to be some accountability.

If someone is leaving the lab with unfinished papers, I request they:
1. Leave all their data analyzed and compiled in one place in an easy to read format.
2. Make final figures.
3. Write a detailed methods section.
From that point I can write the paper if I have to.

The students to most recently leave my group have left with papers unsubmitted. However, usually this was because said paper drafts had been sitting on our PI's desk for months *before* their defense or scheduled departure date. It needs to be a two-way street: the student needs to produce drafts in a timely fashion, but without feedback, the papers are going nowhere fast.

Anon at 11:57, I hear you. The financial aspect of student procrastination is getting ever more detrimental to a group's operation with less federal money available for everyone and getting harder to get; as you said, you cannot just throw money down the drain, waiting for them to be done at snail pace. What your colleague did does sound harsh, but I am sure he/she has come to realize that's the only way.
Namnezia, I think many people (me included) nominally request the same things as you. But once the student leaves and you get to writing (and actually look at the data, figures, and the methods section in great detail), more often than not there still need to be substantial revisions, figure changes, and rewrites even to the technical section, and often there is a need for additional or repeated experiments/calculations (at submission and/or resubmission). These issues can be particularly bad on collaborative papers, where each figure and the text undergo multiple changes before they are truly final, and the writing can take many months. [For instance, I have a collaborative (3 PI's, 8 authors total) Nature Progeny paper in the works, which we've been writing for nearly a year now, it is on its 8th or 9th set of "final figures".] I am happy if the requirements above have worked for you 100% of the time, but in my experience they are usually sorely insufficient.
@Miss MSE: It needs to be a two-way street: the student needs to produce drafts in a timely fashion, but without feedback, the papers are going nowhere fast
Agreed. Still, I find that most students are happy to have the draft just sit with the advisor without so much as a nudge (guilt-trips work on advisors too). I know I was constantly bugging my advisor until he'd return the corrections; I try to be prompt about returning them myself, even more so if a student shows interest in getting them back.

Huh. Are these students leaving for academic or industry jobs? Why would those still in academia leave potential papers undone? Perhaps I am missing something, I think it's pretty common in my area to have things to finish up post graduation. I've never heard of anyone dropping papers unless they left academia.

- Ragamuffin said...
I don't really get why the post docs/students wouldn't want to finish writing their own papers even after they leave. It is obviously beneficial to them as well, especially if it results in first-authorship. I am leaving my boss of three years to begin graduate school, and there will be one last unfinished manuscript before I leave which I will finish writing from my New Destination. Symbiosis.

- JaneB said...
You are so right. I have a LOT of trouble with this, the more so as the UK system does not require that a single paper be in a publishable state before the student graduates... it has to be two-way, but the students so often fail to deliver.... even my "biggest successes", who are both faculty members now, still have papers joint with me from their PhDs which they 'might get to one day'. What a waste of my time, energy and money! Some days I really would rather pay for technicians, at least it'd be clear what I could expect!
- March 29, 2011 at 3:36 PM
A professor at my grad institution has the same problem. Her solution is to tell grad students that they relinquish 1st-authorship if they leave without finishing the paper. That is, they become 2nd or 3rd author, depending on how many other lab members step up to finish the paper. But of course, that only motivates people who are staying in academia, and even then, only to a point.
- March 29, 2011 at 3:37 PM
- GMP said...
Bashir, Ragamuffin, a number of my students go into industry. Even those who go into academia, there is great variability in terms of how much the postdoc advisor allows them to work on papers from the PhD (postdocs are typically 2 years, 3 tops, so there is the expectation that you'll ramp up quickly and start cranking out papers for your new boss ASAP)...
JaneB, I hear you. It's a source of major frustration for me too.
Anon at 3:37, thanks for the comment, that's a very elegant solution! But as you say, I am sure it works only to a point though...

I'm with MissMSE on this one. Sure, the student should finish up the papers but I've seen more cases of terrible advisors that are too busy for their students than grad students unwilling to do yet even more work for next to no salary.
I haven't spoken to my PhD advisor in at least 6 months and the last time was to get his signature for my thesis. It's been over 18 months (if not more) since we've last had a technical conversation. I've found I'm better off sending him an email and saying "If I don't have a response from you within 2 weeks, I'm submitting it anyway." I don't get any responses and I submit it anyway.
And, I'm in a 4 month transition period right now (mini-PD before TT position starts). I've managed to get one paper accepted, 2 others are submitted, written 4 conference proceedings abstracts, and 2 whole proceedings. Yet I've had no discussions with my advisors about this but they still get credit because their name is on it.
If a student hasn't published anything, then it's ok for an advisor to be strict to a point. But if they've published 3-5 papers (or whatever is average for the field), well then I guess that student is just average. But an advisor holding a student's graduation over their head because they haven't published an above-average amount is an asshole advisor move.

Gears, I am sorry about this, but I don't think most advisors are like that. On the upside, you have a TT position lined up, so I presume your advisor is not just busy but famous? If that's the case, it sounds like tit for tat: your advisor gets some credit on papers without directly advising you, and you get some of his reflected glory which can propel you you in the academic world well beyond your merit alone. Moreover, at least your advisor is not in the way of you submitting and publishing: I have collaborators who insist that everything be written "just so," yet don't have the courtesy to return corrections on collaborative papers for many months -- they are essentially keeping each paper hostage, and I don't even work for them, we're supposed to be peers! And your advisor is paying you as a postdoc in the transitional period, so he doesn't sound like pure evil to me... So I'd say count your blessings, things could be much worse.
Regarding how much students should publish: I think the advisor and a student have to have a talk well before the defense (as in, 1+ years before) regarding what else needs to be done for the student to finish. That includes discussing provisionally which papers still need to get out, and these can be discussed periodically. When the student is done with the work agreed upon, he/she should be able to get out.
About the number of papers: you cannot expect all students to get out with a minimal number of papers. Some projects take a longer ramp-up time, some are conducive to a faster publishing rate. It's about a coherent chunk of work being done within a reasonable time and with the available money. I set a minimum of 3 first-author journal papers from the dissertation work for graduation, but a good student (and particularly an ambitious one!) should publish more (within the same time as his peers) because otherwise they are really not competitive once they leave. And extraneous conditions also come to play such as how the funded project has been performing up to then, who else in the group is working on it etc.
Bottom line is: there are asshole advisors, but not as many as it may seem to students -- not all nonideal advisors are really assholes. Your perspective on what constitutes an ideal advisor (or an asshole) is bound to change after a few years as a faculty.

I came here from twitter re: "you have a TT position lined up, so I presume your advisor is not just busy but famous?"
I don't think GMP would mean to say someone can get a TT job *only* bc the advisor is famous. Advisor definitely has an influence on your career but only if you've a really good CV to begin with.
It is of course possible that advisors have different issues for being late to work on papers or not do it at all. My Phd advsior was notoriously absentminded and disorganized. He also did not let me submit papers without working on them, but yet never got back to me in a reasonable time frame (several months). I had to hound him physically to get work done. He did have shortcomings as an advisor, but he was not an asshole. He had different, excellent qualities as an advisor. Noone is perfect.
The silver lining is, if you could do good work with a non-hands-on advisor, you will find the transition to PI-dom easier.

OMG that makes me so angry because I would have loved a PI who was more publication focused! I wish you were my PI.
I guess it does not make you feel any better to know that there are students who are pushing their unambitious PIs to get something (anything) research published.
The dissertation is supposed to consist of publishable material. Ideally they should be reformatted published papers, but in certain circumstances (being scooped; extra projects) I believe they can be unpublished. I also think a student should be able to graduate without having submitted the papers BUT (big BUT) they should have at least have written their work up in their dissertation.
It should be relatively easy to extract a paper from a PhD dissertation chapter. If a student does not have enough chapters in the dissertation the committee should not allow them to graduate - period.
I graduated (reluctantly) with unpublished papers, but my dissertation was already long enough. I think this is acceptable, plus I wrote those chapters in the hope that they would get tidied up and published! Even though I am not in research I still want those papers...grr
- March 30, 2011 at 1:12 PM
I am a grad student now. Before that, I was an RA. Before leaving my RA job, there were some stuff to be done on a paper. Unfortunately, just before leaving, my boss verbalized her thought that it is my fault that our paper was delayed. Other strong words were said, making me understand that, for right or wrong reason, this woman will never write a high-spirited letter of recommendation for me. So I just put everything together on a computer and said, here's you draft, here's your processed data, here's your raw data, here's the program in case you can find somebody to generate more data. I never wrote to her. I feel sorry, because she seemed nice until then. But I am nobody's dispensable tool, and I did not emigrate to have people play with my future. Nothing was published in the three years since I left. It tells me that my work was difficult enough, that nobody could pick it up, or even start it from scratch. I would never pick up where I dropped it, although it would be a great paper from a famous, Nobel-level PI. It just doesn't work this way.

GMP, Actually, I would understand it if my advisor was a rockstar professor. However, that is so far removed from the case, it's laughable.
And yes, when I needed Prof's signature on my thesis/graduation I got it. Also, whatever was written in those letters of recommendation didn't hurt my chances for a tenure track (especially give that I got one). So I basically got what I needed most. But his research group got a lot out of me too.
Currently, I have twice as many journal publications as the other ~10 PhD students/Postdocs in the group COMBINED! You'd figured if one of your students asked for support and/or mentoring, and they were producing stuff for you, you'd be more than willing to accommodate s/he.
And yes, I have seen your side of the argument. I currently have a MS student who has graduated and is supposed to write a paper on work that I advised. He's in industry now and has limited time to work on it. Would I like him to do it? Yes. Do I expect him to do it at this point? No. On a tenure track, one paper can make your career early on. But if the lack of one paper breaks your career, especially when you're a tenured faculty member, you've got other problems than that.
I would like to ask a more difficult question (basically the same thing every PhD student thinks). Is the reason you can't/won't write the papers because you don't know enough about the research? Because I know that's the case with my Prof. There's no chance in hell any of those papers gets published, even with all the time in the world, all of the data, notes, and lab notebooks, and all the figures made. If that's the case, then pay attention to their research more and you won't have that problem. I could write my MS student's paper for him if I was that desperate.
- March 31, 2011 at 3:11 AM
Gears, it just doesn't sound like your prof cares. I know what you mean as I knew profs like this too. But in the end, your work is your work. PIs always get on papers. You sound like you have some resentment over it and it's understandable. But it's also useless. What's done is done. Good for you to have done all this in your circumstances. After a while, when you move on to your fancy (crazy!) TT job, eventually you will not care. Good luck!

Gears, no one is questioning your technical excellence (a courtesy you do not extend to others in your comment). I had a baby in my first semester of graduate school, yet also outpublished everyone in my group by a factor of 2-3 and finished in a little over 4 years. I am very grateful to my advisor for giving me the freedom to pursue the topics I wanted so I could be very productive, and I am happy that he had the funding to support me through my varied endeavors. I learned a lot from him, even if we didn't discuss the nitty-gritty details of my day-to-day calculations; I have great respect from him.
In contrast, you seem to consider your advisor a worthless ignoramus. First, there is no way a worthless ignoramus can sustain a 10-person group. Second, if your advisor truly were a nobody who commanded no respect in your field, as you seem to think, his recommendation would mean squat during your job search. It seems like you have a lot to be grateful for: someone who paid you and gave you the freedom to be so productive, who wrote a good letter for you, and is still paying you while you a waiting to start a TT position.
I would like to ask a more difficult question (basically the same thing every PhD student thinks). Is the reason you can't/won't write the papers because you don't know enough about the research?
Who says I can't or won't write the papers myself? That's exactly what I do when it's clear the student is not getting anywhere or has left already without finishing papers. However, when the student is here, holding raw data and figures hostage, and has promised over and over to deliver a first draft, then yes I expect a first draft from him. I am very involved (as in -- very invasive in terms of writing/edits) in every paper that gets out of my group. Trust me, it would be much faster and easier for everyone if I wrote all the papers myself, but that's not the point;
drafting papers is part of the PhD training.
Implying that your advisor (or I or any other PI) doesn't know enough about the research only reveals that you don't really know yet what a PI's job entails. As has been noted by DrugMonkey (can't find the link right now) and others many times, students/postdocs always overestimate their importance in research and underestimate that of their advisors.

Haven't had time to read the other comments, so this might be redundant.
When I first read about this mistake your other colleagues have made, I thought you were referring to the consequences for the postdoc.
My PhD adviser 'graduated' me before I thought I was ready; I had published a few things, but only one of the papers that was supposed to be in my thesis was actually in any stage of review. (One chapter was already dead/scooped, and the others weren't quite there.) I defended feeling like a fraud and started my postdoc feeling like a fraud. Two of the chapters got published in my first year as a postdoc, but one I'm still working on a year later. I mean actively working on, with objectives for every week; the methods are crazy hard and new, and I've been tweaking and waiting for results and tweaking and am just going to publish whenever this round is done, and leave the rest for other people/papers.
I'm just representing the flip side. My adviser hasn't used these methods and, I suspect, might doubt me when I say I've been working on this stuff continuously since leaving. I'm sure I care more than anyone about getting this paper out.

Actually, my observation is that it's half and half in both cases.
Half of the profs bring it on themselves, giving absolutely no feedback (yet claiming all the credit), and then complain that students aren't independent/driven/what-have-you enough. The other half are involved (although sometimes that's not a good thing). I've seen two cases of advisors giving no input, even to the extent that they wouldn't respond to emails or requests for meetings. While I would not say that most are this way, it's probably close to half. So I do think Gears has a point: I have several friends whose advisors take credit for these brilliant students, when those students would have done as well (or even better) regardless of their advisor, who did the work and published pretty much on their own.
On the other hand, I'm sure there are flaky students, too. I didn't see it as much in my PhD program, but there were a good number who left my MS program without getting papers written up. And usually, it was not at all for lack of involvement of the advisor.
I wish there were a way to match bad advisors with bad students so that we could all be appropriately happy or miserable. :-)

"Gears said...
I'm with MissMSE on this one. Sure, the student should finish up the papers but I've seen more cases of terrible advisors that are too busy for their students than grad students unwilling to do yet even more work for next to no salary. "
Per GMP's comment, I'm sure there are a few really terrible advisors out there, but not as many as you might think. I can see how students might end up with the impression that PI's sit on papers - here's a case in point. One of my postdocs is an incredibly efficient, clear and elegant writer. Her first draft (given to me) still needed a little editing for content and organization, but no errors in spelling, grammar or basic rules of scientific writing. We got this paper submitted very quickly. In contrast, another trainee gave me a first draft that was incomplete, obviously not edited for spelling or grammar, had paragraphs with no topic sentences, etc. I gave some general and some specific comments back. I got a second draft with only the specific comments fixed, but all the general flaws were not addressed. I sat on that for a while as I pondered whether or not to write it myself or whether I had the patience to teach a semester's worth of basic composition in a few weeks.
If your manuscript is sitting on your advisor's desk, take a long careful look at it, have a few other colleagues who are good writers give you feedback and try again.

Anon@4-1-11-10:56, In my particular case, he openly admits he hasn't actually opened the document file since I sent it to him. Several months ago... It's also been through several rounds of editing between me, a postdoc and a third member of the group. I believe this qualifies as sitting on a paper.

@Anon at 10:56, I hear you. It indeed takes longer to return corrections on a paper that's structurally unsound and where major rewrites are required. I ranted about them here (i.e. students who consider comments such "revise thoroughly" an indication that nothing should be revised).
Miss MSE, I am sorry your advisor takes so long to return corrections. I guess I am pretty prompt (will usually return in a matter of days or a few weeks, depending on how busy I am) but I have long-term collaborators who take forever so that really stalls all collaborative papers. Let me tell you what works with one particular collaborator who takes forever and is a control freak (everything has to be just the way s/he wants it). We would agree when s/he would bring the rewrites back, if s/he didn't, I would insist on a new date, and would keep insisting until the corrections were returned. The point here is to guilt-trip the person, which means you have to keep reminding him/her, no judgement, just constant pressure and constant, polite reminders that you are indeed waiting for the response. The student we coadvised (my collaborator and I) said that as a result of all this gentle but constant pressure our joint papers were coming out much more quickly than those from the collaborator's group alone (where the collaborator was the only faculty, and the students felt, much like you do, that there was nothing to do but wait). So that tells you pressure works; but, you could say that it needs another faculty to apply it. My PhD advisor was usually very good about returning corrections, but when he wasn't, I was constantly pestering him. I don't know how your advisor is, but if you think he could be guilt-tripped into returning corrections, I think you should go for it. I think most faculty appreciate proactivness (is this even a word?) in their students. Gentle, but constant pressure. Good luck!
- April 1, 2011 at 10:18 PM
GMP, you did the right thing. Though your comments indicate otherwise, perhaps in the back of your mind you realized it is completely inappropriate to delay a student's graduation for the sake of your lab's productivity. Per the National Academies:
"Powerful forces can work against making good progress. You or other faculty might seek to retain students as they become more proficient. That is an unfortunate conflict between your desire to maximize productivity in your own research and your duty as a mentor to support a student's timely progress. **Your primary obligation is to the education of the student.**"
(from Adviser, Teacher, Role Model, Friend: On Being a Mentor to Students in Science and Engineering, p. 34, though I recommend all faculty read at least this entire chapter...)
- May 6, 2011 at 4:31 PM
I wouldn't say exactly that graduate students "procrastinate" and work at "snail pace." Many PhD advisors are "nice" just as long as students have something that they want. My PhD advisor sucked the life out of me. It took me six years to finish my PhD. During this period I had to work as a teaching assistant (every semester), mentor undergraduates (sometimes 3 per semester), write grant (or portions of grant) applications, and tried to do research (among other things), while my advisor spent most part of his days masturbating at home (I am sorry about the language, bu I think that best describes his behavior).
- October 15, 2011 at 3:06 AM
- GMP said...
Anon @ Oct 15, there are jerk advisors, and maybe you have one, I don't know. Often students don't actually know what it is that faculty do all day (so it seems like jerking off), whereas there is a lot of work regarding running a research program that goes on behind the curtain. Anyway, I don't know your advisor.
But there are most definitely a number of students who procrastinate or work at a snail pace. My students are nearly always on RA's (if they TA, it's a semester or two over the course of their PhD). So when a student is done with classes, paid as a full RA, and still no research progress for weeks or months, that means they are not working hard enough.

F that.
Very timely here. Thatcher quote making the rounds the last few days:
They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour.

Yeah I want to make some kick ass internet games and maybe a pokemon simulator, hey I have the time lol.
But first I need to know... how to connect to the internet. This sites seems just right up my ally http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutori...ets/index.html
At first it went through BS stuff about connection to sites to see their code, which is cool and all, but not useful. Finally it got to sockets which I believe is what ones needs to connect to servers and have shit done, and play multiplayer games.
But when I get to the first input site code: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutori...ockServer.java
it doesn't work, I don't know if it is my compiler, but it doesn't understand -
KnockKnockProtocol kkp = new KnockKnockProtocol();
On the note of my compiler, I don't think it is operating correctly for this, I think im suppose to get a pseudo-c++ layout where I impit things, but all it does is give me red errors.
does anyone here have any experience in this kinda shit?

Should Matt Flynn be an option for Dolphins?
I'm a Matt Flynn fan.
I've been one ever since witnessing the former LSU standout rout the University of Miami during the 2005 Peach Bowl, producing a 40-3 victory over the last good Hurricanes team in his first start for the Tigers.
Flynn was replacing a suspended JaMarcus Russell and shined, throwing for 196 yards, rushing for another 38, and throwing two touchdown passes.
He'd go on to lead LSU to a BCS National Championship in 2008.
Flynn was a member of my 2008 Man Crush list because of his scrapy style. That happens to be the same year the Dolphins selected Chad Henne in the second round. The Packers selected Flynn in the seventh.
Green Bay also selected Brian Brohm one spot ahead of Henne in that draft. Wouldn't you know Flynn beat Brohm out for the job as Aaron Rodger's backup two years later.
The one thing that impresses me the most with Flynn is he normally rises to the ocassion.
The NFL sample size of Flynn is super small, but its encouraging that he was 2-for-2, throwing for 38 yards and scored a rushing touchdown in garbage time of Monday night's 45-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Flynn, who has completed 59.3 percent of his 86 NFL passes, throwing for 535 yards and three touchdowns (running for another), will likely be an unrestricted free agent in 2012.
It's unlikely he'll return to Green Bay considering he'll be viewed as one of the most attractive free agent quarterbacks (Vince Young, Jason Campbell, Kyle Orton and Chad Henne also expected to be there) on the market this upcoming offseason.
Consider Flynn the Jay Fielder of the unrestricted free agent class.
I'm well aware most Miami Dolphins fans are infatuated with selecting one of the four quarterbacks – Stanford's Andrew Luck, USC's Matt Barkley, Oklahoma's Landry Jones and Baylor's Robert Griffin III – projected to be first-round picks in 2012.
I too think it's time the Dolphins select a quarterback in the first-round (not second) considering it hasn't been done since 1983, when Dan Marino was taken.
However, it should also be pointed out Flynn should be viewed as a viable option, one that might help the team quicken the frachise's turnaround if Matt Moore doesn't win over the fanbase with more solid performance.
Of course what's happened in Arizona with Kevin Kolb has to be scary considering all the money (five-year, $64 million with $21 million guaranteed), the player (cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie), and the draft pick (second-rounder in 2012) the Cardinals invested in an unproven quarterback that started seven games in four seasons.
Flynn has started just one.
But who really knows what's going to happen with the Dolphins, and who is eventually going to be making decisions for this team in the offseason. Hell, for all we know the Dolphins might be running a west coast offense, which Flynn is familiar with, in 2012.
It's always good to have options, and Flynn should be one.

As summer sets in, many Puerto Vallarta locals look for creative ways to stay cool. This can happen by congregating in public, air conditioned spaces, such as shopping centers, restaurants or movie theaters. And for many of us, it can also happen through day passes at local hotels.
Day passes are as varied in price and amenities as the many establishments that offer them, but all center around access to swimming pools, food and beverages. Beyond that, different places throw different amenities to the mix according to their own, individual offerings. Often times, they are not advertised as widely as you'd think. So their success relies largely on word of mouth. Regardless, day passes are effective promotional tools for these places during the summer, when their hotel guest load allow for additional people in their premises—day passers often become excellent spokespeople for these establishments.
We found ourselves exploring the South Shore when we came across an unexpected day pass at Villa Azalea Inn & Organic Farm, a hideaway located less than 40 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta along Carr. 200 Sur. A truly relaxing haven, Villa Azalea is a first-class luxury hotel tucked in the mountains. Best described by its own website, Villa Azalea is particularly suited for couples of groups of friends looking for a completely relaxing vacation, close enough to Puerto Vallarta to take advantages of the city's many activities, but not necessarily in the thick of them.
Aside from being blessed from lower temperatures due to its mountain location (a particular plus during the summer months), Villa Azalea's organic farm becomes the centerpiece for day passers. Upon arrival, you get to harvest your own greens for the lunch you will enjoy later in the day. Once the harvesting is done, you can relax at their swimming pool or adventure into the adjoining river for a relaxing swim while your meal is prepared. Lunch (organic salad, entree and dessert) is enjoyed afterwards, and then, you can continue to enjoy your leisurely day in their grounds.
A day pass at Villa Azalea is quite removed—literally and figuratively—from the experience you might enjoy at a local beachfront property. It provides a glimpse into the overnight experience at one of Puerto Vallarta's most unique lodging options. And with extremely affordable prices during the remainder of the summer, a night at Villa Azalea might be closer to you than you think.
Villa Azalea's day pass is $350 pesos per person. Alcoholic beverages are not included. Lunch options vary based on ingredients and produce available at Villa Azalea. For more information, visit their website.

Because of the high current and voltage levels associated with these systems, arcing faults release a tremendous amount of energy into the surrounding environment. Think of the resulting flash as an electrical explosion. Arc flashes result from inadvertent contact with energized parts, contamination, and/or equipment failure. The resulting heat and pressure wave cause significant injury, including severe burns and death; and damage equipment within which arcing faults occur.
In addition to having a tremendous impact on injured employees and their families, such events have severe financial consequences for employers and liability insurers. A single serious injury can cost $1 million or more.
Five to 10 arc flashes occur every day in the U.S. Increasing awareness of these dangers has brought more attention to safety standards. Years of research led to increasingly stringent regulations beginning in the late 1990s.
Most attention, however, focuses on system analysis and personal protective equipment (PPE), rather than on products or design solutions that reduce hazard levels or mitigate risk. Moreover, municipal water and wastewater operations don't fall under OSHA enforcement, and only 27 states have OSHA-approved programs that exercise jurisdiction over public-sector employers and employees.
Ideally, employees shouldn't work on energized electrical equipment. But because some diagnostic and repair tasks require it, employers must find and implement ways to reduce arc flash potential. Mitigation equipment and techniques can be applied, but they're just one step to a safer workplace. Any mitigation solution must be informed by, and integral to, a facility's work practices.
While PPE, administrative controls, and warnings are required for every facility and make up essential parts of electrical safety policies and practices, they are the least effective mitigation solutions. PPE, in particular, is often mistakenly viewed as the solution to arc flash hazards. Some believe that if a worker wears a flash suit (adequately rated or not) he or she is equipped to work anywhere, anytime.
As the primary industry consensus standard, "Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace" (NFPA-70E02012), contains extensive information on safe work practices, analysis procedures, requirements for documentation and equipment labeling, and PPE selection principles. But even properly selected PPE doesn't guarantee freedom from injury. The NFPA 70E standard only claims that injuries would be "reduced" and "survivable."
That's why effective safety programs also incorporate "safety by design" and other mitigation solutions.
Obviously, completely eliminating a hazard is most effective. When that's not feasible, many facilities implement engineering controls that mitigate the hazard.
Although not as effective as substitution or elimination, engineering controls are more effective than PPE because they seek to reduce the degree of hazard. And because they don't rely solely on the employee to follow safety policy and procedures, they're also considered more effective than administrative controls and warnings.
Engineering controls can be broken into these categories:
1. Avoidance: Staying a safe distance away from the potential arc; protects employee but not equipment. Examples:
2. Passive containment: Arc-resistant equipment is designed to withstand the effects of an internal arcing fault and to redirect gasses and particles away from employees close by. Instead of reducing duration or energy, it contains energy via doors and covers before redirecting and safely venting.
Employees are unprotected during maintenance or any time the doors are open or covers removed. Due to installation and venting requirements, retrofitting usually isn't an option.
3. Passive protective devices: Devices, schemes, and settings are selected so that their response to arcing fault currents, while no different than to other faults, is fast enough to satisfactorily reduce energy levels.
4. Active protective devices: Techniques that clear (or quench) faults very quickly, typically in less than a few cycles, using sensing techniques that differentiate between arc flash and other fault types.
5. Interactive protection: Employee initiates protective device clearing.
The use of any one of these controls, or a combination of two or more, depends on the number of application-specific situations unique to each circumstance.

Tuesday, December 1, 2009
It's a humbling experience, not being able to remember things from one minute to the next, but my most prominent symptom is expressive aphasia. I simply cannot come up with the words for things. I have a new empathy for people with dementia or brain injuries, and even pre-verbal children, in that I understand how frustrating it is to know what I want to communicate and be unable to do so.
Jaymz has gotten pretty good at deciphering what I'm trying to say to him. More often than not, I'll just say a word that I know isn't the right one out of frustration (and because that's the only word that will come into my head). For example, I might request that he put his dirty socks in the "trash" instead of the "laundry," but he usually gets the point. (Arguably, saying "Put them in the trash" is a little more communicative than just saying "Put them in the thing," which is another option in these situations.)
The third option, however, is totally involuntary. It is that my brain will invent a new word to communicate what I'm trying to say, all the while convincing me that it's not only a real word but the correct word! Well-known and hilarious blogger Dooce writes about her experience with this when she yells at her husband to put the leftovers in the tussle-wob-nater.
Here's what happened to me:
Jaymz and I were in the car and he was driving. I was telling him a story about something (I already forget what!) and trying to describe the shape of something in the story. I suddenly couldn't remember the word for that shape, so I thought about it for a while, said "um...uhhh...." a few times, and then I remembered, "Ectangle!" Jaymz started laughing, and I laughed, too, because that wasn't the right word! But I could picture it in my mind, so I tried again, "ANKTANGLE!" Yes, that's it! I thought, but Jaymz was still cracking up, and I couldn't figure out why. So, I said it a couple more times, more definitively this time, "Anktangle...anktangle!" At this point, he was laughing so hard, no sound was coming out of his mouth, but all I kept thinking was, 'Anktangle,' that's really hard to say! I wonder why they would make a word that is so hard to say, especially for something simple like a shape. And why have I never realized before now how difficult it is to say that word?!
Sigh. Eventually Jaymz stopped laughing and told me that the word I was looking for was "rectangle", and then I proceeded to laugh until I just about peed my pants. At least I've managed to keep my sense of humor about my pregnant brain!
9 comments:
Oh, my gosh, that is too hilarious! I love that you have no idea in the moment that it's not the right word. I want to start using anktangle now.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you enjoyed my story. Please do use anktangle, but I hope you'll tell me about it if you do!ReplyDelete
In light of this, you might be interested in what Douglas Hofstadter has to say about "word blends" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8m7lFQ3njk). Enjoyed your story. MTReplyDelete
Read this again just now. Love it. It makes me laugh.ReplyDelete
I had been wondering about the name. Since I didn't know, I had been imagining that it meant some sort of trouble or sticky situation a parent could get into with a young child. Like if my three-year-old tied my feet together with a jump rope while I was sleeping, that would be an anktangle. Or if I went to the mall and my baby pooped and I had forgotten to bring any diapers. LOL--now I won't have to wonder anymore! Cute story!ReplyDelete
Jenny, that is awesome! I think anktangle has a new, dual definition. Thanks for telling me what you were thinking!ReplyDelete
My husband and I call that forphing. As in "I am so tired right now that I am having trouble forphing my words!" I said that once and it stuck as a name for all those made-up sleep-deprived words. Luckily, our partners generally understand our forphs!ReplyDelete
Oh Maggie, that's so funny! I'm glad other people have made up words to apply to these situations. It was so great to see you and Henry yesterday. We should get together sometime soon since you'll be working Wednesdays. Let me know when!ReplyDelete
Oh... I cannot tell you how many times I misplaced words while pregnant. I never invented new words like that (I was giggling reading that and my 18 month old started mocking me), but 80% of my vocabulary consisted of "thing", "thingy", or "thing-a-ma-jig" with or without the "other" in front of them. Example: "Honey, get me that ting out of the thing-a-ma-jig. I think it's next to the other thingy." And honestly, I would get frustrated with him (poor man) when he had no earthly idea what I wanted. And to think, I used to be a fairly intelligent person. LOL! So glad to have most of my brain back.ReplyDelete

Our zimbra server is experiencing unexplained slowdowns every couple of days that are only resolved after rebooting the server. From the end user's perspective, if they are using webmail and they send a message, then it will eventually timeout. From the system terminal, there are slowdowns logging in, switching users, and restarting the zimbra services. It takes up to 2 minutes to change a user using 'su -'
Restarting all the zimbra services, dns services, does not resolve the problem. The problem is only resolved after completely rebooting. After rebooting, logging in, switching users, and restarting servers happen quickly.
We are using dnsmasq for split DNS which is needed for our environment because of NAT. But querying DNS returns results immediately. We are using an external ldap database for authentication but no other servers using it show any problems and there are no load problems on it either. Everything else is a default install and configuration.
There are no obvious errors in the system logs. The server load, disk IO, is the same when there is a problem and when there is no problem.
Originally this was happening once a week usually on mondays, or tuesday. This week, it happened on Monday, and Thursday.
My version is:
zimbra@servername ~ $ zmcontrol -v Release 7.2.1_GA_2790.RHEL6_64_20120815212147 UNKNOWN_64 FOSS edition.
Has anyone encountered or solved such a problem ?

Coat, Service, French Air Service, Lafayette Escadrille, Harold B. Willis
This is an example of a standard issue French Air Service uniform coat worn by
Harold B. Willis. Willis sailed for France in 1914, served in the American Ambulance Service and joined the French Foreign Legion in June, 1916. Willis joined the Lafayette Escadrille on March 1st, 1917, as its 25th member and served for five months before being shot down and made a prisoner of war.
On August 14, 1917, Willis went on patrol with Edwin Parsons as his flight leader. The flight took off from the Escadrille's airfield at Sénard. It tangled with pilots from Jasta 16b based at Spincourt. In a ferocious dogfight, Willis went to protect Parsons' tail and was shot down over Dun-Sur-Meuse either by Max Holtzem or Ltn Wilhelm Schulz, both of Jasta 16b.
Willis had a small problem when he crash-landed: he was only wearing green-striped pajamas and two sweaters beneath his flight suit. Parsons knew this and returned to Sénard, bundled-up Willis's "uniform, boots, cigarettes and money" and dropped them at a likely spot behind the German lines with a note addressed to a Lieutenant Willis. Willis was a Sergeant at the time but Parsons was hoping that by fooling his captors into thinking Willis was an officer he would receive better treatment. The ruse appeared to work. Second from right, Willis is seen above in one of the many prison camps he would visit in 14 months of captivity.
He eventually ended up at the POW camp at Villingen in Germany. US Navy Lieutenant Victor M. Isaacs escaped with Willis in a break-out from Villingen on October 5th, 1918.
They hid during the day and walked south at night and reached the Rhine at Waldshut after 4 days. "Wearing only trousers, their money and papers strung about their necks," they swam 600 feet to the other bank of the Rhine and Switzerland. The Swiss police put them on a train to Berne where they remained until October 17th and then, with money from the American consulate, left for France by train.
On his return to France, Willis found that he had been promoted to a Sous-Lieutenant and awarded the Medaille Militaire.
The label to his tunic is stamped "7 NOV 1918," three weeks to the day from when he left Switzerland by train with Isaacs. Apparently, this is the tunic which he purchased in Paris on his return from captivity. He would have needed a tunic because he was still a serving member of the French military and had to be in uniform to report back to his unit. Four days later on Monday, November 11th, 1918, the war ended.
After the war, Willis became one of the foremost American ecclesiastical architects. He went back to France at the outbreak of World War II with Paul Rockwell and, together, they tried to start a new Lafayette Escadrille but fled Paris as the German tanks rolled in.
Willis returned to America, joined the Air Force and was successful in convincing the government to transfer 12 Curtiss P-40 Warhawks to the Free French Fighter Group GC II/5 based in North Africa; these aircraft are seen above with the old Lafayette Escadrille insignia emblazoned on their fuselages.

Snow finally arrives with little disruption
Published: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 3:04 p.m.
Winter precipitation finally fell on Davidson County on Thursday night, but the county avoided any major problems, thankfully. No serious accidents and few power outages were reported. Davidson County and Thomasville City school students already were scheduled to be out of class as the first semester ended, so no makeup days were needed. Lexington City Schools wasn't as fortunate, as the snow forced classes to be cancelled Friday, the last day of first-semester exams for high school students.
Davidson County often finds itself on the borderline when it comes to winter precipitation, and Thursday's storm brought higher amounts of snow to the eastern and southern areas. Many residents viewed it as a perfect winter storm: It brought enough snow to enjoy first thing Friday morning, but then sunshine and warming temperatures quickly caused it to melt. An old wife's tale says a snowfall accompanied by thunder — which happened Thursday — means more snow will fall in a week, so keep an eye on the weather forecast.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office showed it's serious about enforcing a court decision regarding sweepstakes businesses. Deputies issued citations to employees at at least three sweepstakes businesses this week after the North Carolina Supreme Court upheld a 2010 law that banned machines, devices or computers used for sweepstakes games. Some of the businesses thought they had made changes that put them into compliance with the law and court decision. But the issue remains murky right now, and they certainly run a risk of further enforcement action if they continue to operate.
The Lexington City Council made a wise decision in its selection of a new grant administrator. The council picked Stephen F. Austin over two other candidates, Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates and Carolina Governmental Services, owned by Michael Walser. Walser faced accusations of wrongdoing while with Hobbs, Upchurch, so choosing Austin provides the city with some insurance of not being associated with a firm facing scrutiny. State regulators may ultimately clear Walser and Hobbs, Upchurch, but the city can't take a risk of possibly losing five ongoing Community Development Block Grants.
The revitalization of Lexington's Depot District took another step forward Monday when the city council approved a design for a multimodal station. The station would reside along South Railroad Street between East Third and Fourth avenues and hopefully be the site of an Amtrak stop in the near future. The district offers the potential to invigorate the downtown area with new development, so picking the design marks another milestone in the ongoing project.

|Barone nets WAC honor
DENVER – University of Idaho junior Kyle Barone was honored on Monday with his first career Verizon Western Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week honor for his efforts in leading Idaho to a 3-0 record during the week of Feb. 6-12.
Barone, a third-year Vandal from Garden Grove, Calif. (Pacifica HS), averaged 15.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 2.0 assists per game last week, while shooting 51.4 percent from the floor and 73.3 percent from the free throw line.
In Tuesday's 70-69 win over Seattle University, Barone led Idaho with 17 points and 12 rebounds. He blocked a pair of shots and hit seven of his eight free throw attempts. On Thursday, he led Idaho to a 59-58 win over New Mexico State with a game-high 16 points, eight rebounds and a career-high-tying four assists.
With Idaho trailing, 58-51, and less than five minutes remaining in the game, Barone scored six straight Idaho points, then drove and dished to teammate Djim Bandoumel for the game-winning layup with 5.4 seconds remaining as Idaho closed the game on an 8-0 run and held NM State scoreless for the final five minutes, 58 seconds.
He put a cap on the weekend in the 73-64 victory over Louisiana Tech with a career-high-tying 15 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting to lead Idaho to its first season sweep over the Bulldogs in series history.
During the week, Barone also hit several career milestones, including his 800th point, 500th rebound, 300th made field goal, 200th made free throw and 75th block.
The honor is the first of his career and the first by a Vandal player this season. It is the first since Jeff Ledbetter claimed the honor for the week of Jan. 10-16, 2011.
In addition to his WAC honor, Barone was also named Madness WAC Player of the Week by College Sports Madness for the second week in a row.

Editing remote files via scp in vim
this wiki
created 2002 · complexity intermediate · author Matthew Weier O'Phinney · version 6.0
Vim 6.x has the netrw plugin installed as a standard plugin. It allows you to edit files via ftp, rcp, scp, or http. If your username differs on the remote host, however, and you're trying to use scp, things can get a little weird, particularly if you're not editing a document under your user tree.
To get around this, try opening the file as follows:
vim scp://email@example.com//path/to/document
Notice two things: adding the "remoteuser@" syntax, and the use of two slashes (//) between the servername and the path. The first sets the remote user so that scp will not grab the $USERNAME environment variable, the second will appropriately set the absolute path.
The latest netrw.vim has several improvements. Later Windows ftp is handled, new protocols (rsync, cadaver, fetch), user fixup functions, etc.
How can we store the password? It prompts for password each time we save!
I just got this working on Win2k w/ PuTTY's command line scp program http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
- copy pscp.exe into your path somewhere as scp.exe
- put "let g:netrw_cygwin= 0" in your $VIM/_vimrc
A possible gotcha:
If you don't put the path as specified (and noted) in the tip, you may get a non-intuitive error: not putting "//" between the hostname and the *absolute* path of the file you edit may cause vim to try to retrieve the file via rcp, as in
:!rcp scp://firstname.lastname@example.com:t1
and result in an error. Also be careful that you put the absolute path of the file on the remote machine, not the path relative to the remote user's home directory.
Using relative paths is quite normal and well supported. Try
:r scp://m@machine/t1
Someone was asking if you could define the port for ftp
vim ftp://[user@]machine[[:#]portnumber]/path
try that...just like any other url.
vim ftp://email@example.com:6090/public_html/index.html
I guess that would work.
There is a nice way to save your passwords: Create .netrc under you home directory and put lines in, one per ftp machine, like this one:
machine yourftp.somewhere.org login yourlogin password "yoursecret"
ftp remote edit is OK.
Run command:
gvim <host>//<path_2_file> ftp://<host>//<path_2_file>;
Then enter user name and password.
If everything seems to be setup correctly but you're still unable to access a file with ftp. Check the permissions on your .netrc file. If .netrc is readable by anyone else besides the owner then ftp auto fails.
chmod 600 .netrc
Solved for me on windows with putty, in vimrc:
let g:netrw_cygwin = 0 let g:netrw_scp_cmd = "\"C:\\Program Files\\PuTTY\\pscp.exe\" -pw mypasswd "
and now run from wincommander:
gvim scp://email@example.com/file.txt
Get the latest version to fix any problems you are having.
Was getting a bit annoyed with having to type the full path a remote user's file when I'm using scp and connecting as root on the remote end to edit a local user's file on the remote site and found out that I could do this and vim did "The Right Thing"
vim scp://firstname.lastname@example.com/~user/public_html/.htaccess
That was a lot nicer than having to bother with:
vim scp://firstname.lastname@example.com//home/user/public_html/.htaccess
Maybe not such a pain in that example, but if you're working with an Ensim for Linux system, you've got everything chrooted which makes you have to type a ridiculously long path such as:
vim scp://firstname.lastname@example.com//home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/.htaccess (yawn)
To change the scp port, there's several options. A quick one would be while you've opened vim to type this:
:let g:netrw_scp_cmd="scp -q -P <desired_new_port>"
and then just type:
:e scp://my_user@remote_hostname//path/to/remote/file
--> I think a better solution is to use ssh-mechanisms, i.e. the ~/.ssh/config file:
Host lala HostName test.machine.example.net User remoteuser IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_for_test.machine Port 57
I have discovered how to make passive mode ftp work. See http://alecthegeek.github.io/blog/2007/02/06/handy-hack-how-to-use-vim-netrw-in-ftp-passive-mode/
Try "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim71\gvim.exe" --remote-tab !.! in WinSCP to open each file in a separate tab in the same gVim instance. I also clicked the "External Editor Opens Multiple Files in one window" checkbox. There is another option --remote-silent that will suppress the first warning that there is no gVim already running, but you cannot use it with the --remote-tab option. I prefer to ack. the one warning rather than making sure I'm in a new tab before opening anything.----

Use "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim71\gvim.exe" --remote-tab-silent !..! in WinSCP as External Editor works just fine.
For windows I would suggest adding PuTTY to the system path (or not) and simply set the g:netrw_cygwin=0, and g:netrw_scp_cmd=<PATH TO PSCP> and use Pageant to manage your private keys; that way you don't have to keep your password in your vimrc file. Pageant provides the key to PSCP when it tries to connect.

bcvi is a utility that works with SSH/SCP and the Vim NetRW plugin described above. When you log into a remote server with SSH+bcvi, you can
cd into any directory then type
vi filename and the gvim command will get launched back on your workstation, with the correct SCP URL to point to the file on the server. If that sounds confusing, the bcvi article clarifies things with examples and pictures.
