To all the regular WAYWRN posters: does it ever happen that someone else snaps a picture of you that you could post here instead of your usual self-portraits? In particular, I've always found pictures taken when the subject was unaware infinitely more interesting than poses. While a lot of you guys crop out your faces, I figure it would still make the lifestyle shots more authentic than the staged self-portraits. As nice as some of the outfits can be, it's the context that gives them meaning. Just curious.
Maybe this is kind of a harrumph, but the new wave of pseudo-candid forvm photographs (influenced by Phatty and I think, The Sartorialist) makes for a new level of photographic interest that at the same time detracts a bit from the ability to use the photos for discussing clothes.
Doc Holliday had some good comments about this in another thread...I wish I could remember where. These new types of photographs up the ante for skill and time devoted to self-portrayal, and bring in tangential visual information that can be jarring or entrancing...stuff that used to be left to simple text.
For the last month, I've been doing them as well after getting a new camera that I keep in my case. It's kinda fun since I enjoy photography...but it is also time consuming.
What you are describing...true candid photography in volume...is essentially the preserve of celebrities. But even the biggest forvm celebrity of all...mafoofan...does not draw enough third party interest to produce a ready pool of candid shots.
Here's one of the few true candid photographs of me that I have posted:
And I agree with you that there is something about a truly candid photograph that communicates things that more contrived things do not. But, such is not plentiful enough fodder for an internet clothing discussion forum.
You make a thoughtful point, nonetheless.

- Title
- The large-scale three-point correlation function of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Luminous Red Galaxies
- Author(s)
- Marin, Felipe
- Abstract
- We present new measurements of the redshift-space three-point correlation function (3PCF) of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Using the largest data set to date, the Data Release 7 LRGs, and an improved binning scheme compared to previous measurements, we measure the LRG 3PCF on large scales up to ~90 h –1 Mpc, from the mildly nonlinear to quasi-linear regimes. Comparing the LRG correlations to the dark matter two- and three-point correlation functions, obtained from N-body simulations we infer linear and nonlinear bias parameters. As expected, LRGs are highly biased tracers of large-scale structure, with a linear bias b 1 ~ 2; the LRGs also have a large positive nonlinear bias parameter, in agreement with predictions of galaxy population models. The use of the 3PCF to estimate biasing helps to also make estimates of the cosmological parameter σ8, as well as to infer best-fit parameters of the halo occupation distribution parameters for LRGs. We also use a large suite of public mock catalogs to characterize the error covariance matrix for the 3PCF and compare the variance among simulation results with jackknife error estimates.

Guardians of the Galaxy is crushing the box office, so it seems like Marvel has the magic touch. They've been consistently catching lightning in a bottle since frickin' 2008 with so sign of letting up, so it's probably safe to say that superhero movies will be around forever now, right?
Uh ... come on, guys. I love this shit as much as the next utter fucking dork, but you have to remember that these things come and go in cycles. Westerns were the biggest thing in film for decades, but now are guaranteed box-office poison. As I've pointed out before, there's a tipping point here. You can only slam-dance the box office to one tune for so long -- eventually, normal audiences are going to get sick of the fad and move on to something even more ridiculous, like, gosh I dunno, live-action versions of fan-fic.
But I don't want that to happen. I want this to last forever. So I'm going to throw a tantrum and armchair strategize the shit out of this series. So, despite absolutely no one asking me, I'm going to tell you exactly what Marvel needs to do to keep that Money Train a rollin' down Our Wallets Avenue.
4Stop Giving Us the Same Ending
So, Guardians of the Galaxy kicked ass. I think the first two-thirds of it is one of the best movies I've seen this year, though that's not really much of a compliment, because Transformers 4 is dragging the average down significantly. Buuuuut then we get to the end, and we basically see, as we pointed out last week, the exact same ending we got in The Avengers:
Marvel Studios
"Quick! We need to have a sky battle to fend off the invading aliens from the population center!"
OK, it wasn't the exact same: The Avengers was about a sky-battle between a rag-tag group of heroes fighting off inter-dimensional aliens who wanted to commit genocide on an entire species with an infinity-stone MacGuffin, and also there was a helicarrier, because helicarriers are rad. Guardians only had the rag-tag group, the sky-battle, and an infinity-stone MacGuffin. If you want helicarriers and genocide in your climax, you're going to have to watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier:
Marvel Studios
And it's still in the sky. Obviously.
And if you want inter-dimensional battles with invading aliens, you'll have to rewatch Thor: The Dark World.
Marvel Studios
Or you could just take my word for it. No one would blame you.
And in Iron Man 3 ...
DC. Ha! No, It's Marvel and We All Know It.
... you get the idea.
Sooooooooo what's up with that, Marvel? You've been totally crushing it with the zingers and character development (two things that seem consistently impossible for most other big-budget movies) but how come, since The Avengers, you only know how to end movies with a big special-effects extravaganza? What happened to Charlie Chaplin duking it out with The Dude, like at the end of Iron Man? Hell, in Guardians it doesn't even really make sense: We've barely even seen Zandar (Xandar?), and have no real reason to care about it aside from our natural human tendency to prefer that innocent people don't die.
Unless ... that's the plan? OK, I have a weird theory, and I really hope that it's what they're doing: Most hardcore movie dorks know that The Avengers 2 is going to end on a downer, because it's the second part of a planned trilogy (see: The Two Towers, The Empire Strikes Back, or even The Hobbit: The Desolation of Snooze. Also, Joss Whedon has said this is happening). Hopefully, this'll be a real emotionally impactful moment, rather than a visually stunning one, and that'll set the trend for all of Marvel Phase 3: Just like how every movie after The Avengers has reused at least one aspect from that climax, each Phase 3 movie will end with stakes that are equally large but more personal, more subtle, more based on emotions than VFX.
But there's something else that needs to happen, and this is more of a stretch ...
3 We Need to Stop Going to See Spider-Man Movies
I hate to be the one to say this, but if you like the new Spider-Man movies, you're a wrong idiot. This isn't up for discussion. They're the worst kind of terrible: nonsensical plots, shoddy characterization, and one or two redeeming qualities that are guaranteed to make idiots like them (Andrew Garfield's and Emma Stone's performances are great, and that one "A god named Sparkles?" line was really funny). That's the kind of combination that can break hearts, because huge Spider-Man fans will sit in the audience and weep quietly for the movie that they could maybe be seeing instead. Then they go home and rewatch Spider-Man 2 and the studio doesn't even care because it already has their money.

"We don't even remember what industry we work in!"
But no matter how bad these movies get, Sony can't stop making them, or else Marvel will get the character back. This isn't technically a good strategy for Sony, since they can't make these movies good without Sam Raimi, but they can't give up because the rights to Spider-Man reverting to Marvel would end the shit out of someone's career. Can you imagine the guy who has to go up to Sony Pictures' CEO and take the blame for Spider-Man appearing in Avenger's 3, and Marvel now has all the money? Within minutes they'd be laying their head on the chopping block and some CEO would be all, "For the crimes of cutting our losses, I, Kevin, of House Sony, sentence you to die." In this instance, literally everyone in the world would be in a better situation (Sony would stop sinking money into movies they apparently can't make good without Sam Raimi around, and Marvel would regain control of their most popular character and do something fucking great with him). Well, everyone except that one dude who's head would roll down the grass and land at the feet of his sobbing children. Ya know what? I don't even blame him for not floating the idea.
fotokostic/iStock/Getty Images
Kevin doesn't exactly keep an open-door policy.
And it's not just Spider-Man: we're also getting a sequel to Man of Steel, despite that being awful. And a Fantastic Four reboot for some reason. And ten more DC properties because Warner Brothers doesn't understand that Marvel is only being successful because they're being fucking careful. If things keep going like this, it's not going to matter if Marvel movies stay good: flooding the market means we're all going to get sick of superhero movies. They'll ruin the freshness of the genre, the specialness, because when every movie is a superhero movie, even the most die-hard fan is going to start wishing for a romantic comedy or a movie about trains or something. So the only solution is that we, as an audience, agree to stop going to see these fucking movies. Pretend they're not happening. And if we have to go -- like, say, it's our job, because we work for a comedy website that covers movies -- we have to promise to do some weird drugs first. That's the only way to preserve our honor.

JSR 308 Moves Forward
By Abuckley-Oracle on Sep 12, 2012
I am pleased to announce a number of recent milestones for JSR 308, Annotations on Java Types:
Adoption of JCP 2.8
Thanks to the agreement of the Expert Group (EG), JSR 308 operates under JCP 2.8 from September 2012.
There is a publicly archived mailing list for EG members, and a companion list for anyone who wishes to follow EG traffic by email. There is also a "suggestion box" mailing list where anyone can send feedback to the EG directly. Feedback will be discussed on the main EG list.
Co-spec lead Prof. Michael Ernst maintains an issue tracker and a document archive.
Early-Access Builds of the Reference Implementation
Oracle has published binaries for all platforms of JDK 8 with support for type annotations.
Builds are generated from OpenJDK's
type-annotations/type-annotations forest (notably the langtools repo). The forest is owned by the Type Annotations project.
Integration with Enhanced Metadata
On the enhanced metadata mailing list, Oracle has proposed support for repeating annotations in the Java language in Java SE 8. For completeness, it must be possible to repeat annotations on types as well as declarations. The implementation of repeating annotations on declarations is already in the
type-annotations/type-annotations forest (and hence in the early-access builds above) and work is underway to extend it to types.

presented by Wendyâs and Discover Card
The Ohio State University Golf Course â Scarlet Course
Columbus, Ohio
August 3-6, 2004
COLUMBUS, Ohio â Dan Rush of Avon Lake, Ohio, stormed from behind with a final-round 68 to capture his first AJGA victory at the Memorial Junior Championship presented by Wendyâs and Discover Card. In the Girls Division, another first time winner was crowned after Amber Lundskog of San Diego, Calif., sank a 12-foot putt on the 18th hole for a one-stroke victory.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Memorial Junior Championship presented by Wendyâs and Discover Card was a 54-hole stroke play event held at The Ohio State University Golf Course â Scarlet Course. The tournament featured 101 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, from 16 states and Canada, including 48 players from Ohio.
Rush entered the final round two strokes behind second-round leader Brad Benjamin of Rockford, Ill. The tally remained the same through nine holes as they shot front-nine 35s, each recording two birdies and a single bogey. The turning point came on the tenth hole. After hitting his approach to 18 feet, Rush was able to roll in his putt for birdie. Benjamin however, missed the green with his second shot and was not able to make the difficult up-and-down from behind the green.
âThe tenth hole was the real turning point out there today,â Rush explained. âAfter I made the putt there for birdie, and pulled even, it gave me a lot of confidence.â
The two would continue to battle on the back nine, as they made matching birdies on the par-5 No. 12. Benjamin made a birdie on No. 13 to take a one-stroke lead, Rush answered with his own on the 14th hole to draw even again. From there Rush would go on to par the remaining four holes, including a par save on No. 16 after he hit his approach shot over the green, but got up and down. His back nine 3-under-par 33 was good enough to give him a two-stroke victory.
âI hit the ball solid this week and made a lot of putts,â Rush said. âI felt really confident on the back-nine today. It feels really good to win this week against this field. I really like this golf course and it is in good shape right now.â
Before this victory, Rush finished eighth at the 2004 AJGA Boyne Highlands as his previous best AJGA career finish.
Benjamin finished second with a tournament total of 5-under-par 211. Andy Winings of Franklin, Ind., finished third after shooting a final-round 73, with a tournament total of 215. Tom Miles of Dublin, Ohio, finished fourth with a tournament total of 1-over-par 217, and Daniel Woltman of Beaver Dam, Wis., was fifth at 218.
In the Girls Division, Lundskog got off to a fast start, making a birdie on the first hole after she hit her 7-wood from the rough to six-feet. She would finish the front nine with a 2-over-par 38 to increase her lead to four strokes.
Lundskogâs back nine started with bogies on Nos. 10 and 12, but she recovered nicely with a birdie on No. 13. After a double bogey on No. 16 when her second shot landed out of bounds, her lead over Holly Niederkohr of Marysville, Ohio, fell to one stroke. On the finishing hole, her approach shot missed short and left of the green. From there she was able to get the difficult chip to within 12 feet of the hole. Lundskog calmly rolled in her 12-foot par putt to finish one stroke ahead of Niederkhor.
âI knew I needed to make the putt on No. 18 to win,â Lundskog said. âI did not hit the ball too well all week. My putting saved me this week and I am glad I had a putt to winâ.
Lundskogâs previous best finish was third at the TaylorMade-adidas Golf Junior at the Woodlands. She has also recorded two other top-five finishes this year.
Niederkohr ended with a tournament total of 224, giving her sole possession of second place. Carling Coffing of Middletown, Ohio, finished in third place with a total of 228.

text: MTA's analysis of the FY11 budget The final $27.6 billion FY 2011 state budget was approved by the Legislature on June 24 and now goes to the governor for his signature. It includes millions of dollars in cuts to preK-12 education and public higher education, but leaves municipal health insurance unchanged. The Conference Committee budget, which reconciled differences between the House and Senate versions, had to cut $687 million more than originally expected because the U.S. Senate has failed to extend a form of stimulus funding called the Federal Medical Assistance Program – FMAP. Below is a summary of the budget, with emphasis on the impacts on education. It is taken primarily from the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center. For MassBudget's full report go to: http://www.massbudget.org/documentsearch/findDocument?doc_id=730&dse_id=1236 Preliminary Analysis: The Fiscal Year 2011 Conference Committee Budget Thursday, June 24, 2010 Introduction Responding to the danger that Congress will fail to provide state fiscal relief that had been preliminarily approved by both the US House and Senate, the Conference Committee budget implements a new round of cuts to health care, education grants, public higher education, early childhood education and child care for working parents, elder home-care services, human services, and other areas of the state budget. Economists have found that providing state fiscal relief is among the most effective things that the federal government can do to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Aiming to avoid new state budget cuts that would harm both the national economy and the capacity of state governments to provide services that people depend on, the President supported, and both houses of Congress initially approved, $24 billion in additional aid to the states in the form of increased federal reimbursements for state Medicaid expenses (called FMAP). This would have generated close to $700 million for Massachusetts. Massachusetts, like 29 other states, incorporated this revenue in preparing its budget. The jobs legislation that contained this aid and also continued unemployment benefits for the long term unemployed has stalled in the US Senate. Opponents argue that the legislation is a problem because it adds to the federal deficit. The federal deficit is a serious long term problem and will require serious long term solutions. The solution to our long term deficit problems is not, however, to eliminate temporary spending that is needed to create jobs and protect our nation's economic recovery. In fact, there is a danger that if needed stimulus is not provided and the economic recovery stalls, that could increase the deficit as increased unemployment leads to reduced revenue and additional costs. In addition to imposing over $300 million in additional cuts to address the loss of support from the federal government, the Conference Committee budget also makes use of additional temporary revenue and makes more aggressive assumptions about the amount of revenue that will be generated by the state lottery and several other non-tax sources. The Conference Committee also specified to which line items federal money would be allocated if it does become available. In this preliminary analysis we provide information on a number of items in the conference committee budget, describing the proposed funding levels, how they compare to current spending and to the House and Senate proposals. We also describe when those line items could receive additional funding if federal assistance is provided. Education The Conference Committee funds public education at $6.5 billion, reflecting cuts of $179.8 million (2.7 percent) from funding levels in the FY 2010 budget. This cut is similar to the cut proposed in the House and more severe than the cut proposed in the Senate. If FMAP is fully extended, education will still be cut, but by $114.3 million (1.7 percent) instead of $179.8 million (2.7 percent). By and large, the Conference Committee report adopts the lower funding level when choosing between the House and Senate recommendations. Chapter 70 The Conference Committee provides $3.9 billion for Chapter 70 aid to municipal and regional school districts, which is $116 million less (3 percent) than FY 2010 and is identical to both the House and Senate FY 2011 proposals. An FMAP extension would not impact Chapter 70 aid. In FY 2009 and FY 2010, ARRA funding was used in combination with state funds in order to offset potential cuts to Chapter 70 aid. In FY 2011, however, ARRA funds are significantly reduced, requiring the state to contribute more of its own funds toward Chapter 70 aid. The Conference Committee budget uses only $75.3 million in FY 2011, whereas in FY 2010 $172 million of ARRA funding was used for Chapter 70. Although the overall cut to the Chapter 70 appropriation is 3 percent, the proposal actually calls for a cut of up to 4 percent. This means that the cut impacts districts differently. If the full 4 percent cut would bring districts below their foundation level, the cut would be reduced in order to maintain all districts at the foundation budget amounts, as calculated by the House and Senate. Thus, some districts would receive a smaller reduction while others would receive the full 4 percent cut, resulting in a net reduction of 3 percent. Elementary and Secondary Education In addition to Chapter 70 funding, the Conference Committee funds other elementary and secondary education programs at $423.4 million, reflecting cuts of $8.1 million from FY 2010, which are more severe than both the House and Senate proposals. If FMAP is fully extended, these programs together increase above FY 2010 levels by $17.9 million (4.2 percent). Additionally, the Conference Report cuts the following K-12 public education programs: Extended Learning Time Grants are funded at $13.9 million, reflecting a cut of $1.8 million (11.2 percent) from FY 2010. This cut will be almost completely restored if FMAP is fully extended. This funding amount is $1 million less than the House proposal. The Senate proposed level funding. Adult Basic Education is funded at $27.7 million, reflecting a cut of $382,988 (1.4 percent) from FY 2010. This funding will be almost completely restored if FMAP is fully extended. This cut is more severe than the $255,000 cut proposed by both the House and Senate. Kindergarten Expansion Grants are funded at $22.9 million, reflecting a cut of $3 million (11.6 percent) from FY 2010. This cut will be fully restored if FMAP is fully extended. Both the House and Senate had proposed appropriations very close to level funding. School-To-Work Program Matching Grants are eliminated. This program received $1.6 million in FY 2010 and it will receive $450,000 if FMAP is fully extended. The Senate proposed complete elimination, whereas the House proposed funding of $450,000. METCO is funded at $17.6 million, reflecting a cut of $849,000 from FY 2010, which is identical to the cut proposed in the House. METCO will not see restored funding if FMAP is fully extended. The Senate proposed level funding. Higher Education The Conference Committee provides $952.4 million for higher education, representing a $124.2 million (11.5 percent) cut from FY 2010. Of this total, $848.9 million is for state colleges, community colleges, and UMASS. This funding level is $7.3 million (0.8 percent) higher than the House proposal and $76.1 million (7.4 percent) lower than the Senate's. If FMAP is fully extended, higher education will instead receive $983.1 million, reflecting a smaller cut of $93.6 million (8.7 percent). The Committee's $952.4 million funding level depends on $20.8 million in ARRA funding and includes a provision allowing state colleges, community colleges, and UMASS to retain tuition from out-of-state students starting in FY 2012. (Technical edit made on June 25, 2010). Additionally: The Massachusetts State Scholarship program is funded at $86.5 million, reflecting a cut of $2.3 million (2.6 percent) from FY 2010. This program will be restored just above level funding if FMAP is fully extended. While the House and Senate both proposed cuts, the Conference Committee's cut is more severe. School Building The School Modernization and Reconstruction Trust (SMART) is funded at $644.3 million, reflecting an increase of $64.2 million (11.1 percent) from FY 2010. Because the Commonwealth is required to contribute to this trust an amount equal to one penny of the state sales tax, SMART funding is not subject to change based upon the pending FMAP extension. Based upon sales tax revenue projections, both the House and Senate proposed similar increases to this fund. Early Education and Care The FY 2011 Conference Committee budget proposes the following: $228.5 million in child care funding for income-eligible families. This proposal is below both the House and Senate proposals of $233.6 and $233.5 million respectively, and is also $33.4 million, or 13 percent, below current FY 2010 budget levels. If additional FMAP funding becomes available, this appropriation could increase by up to $5 million. $85.7 million in child care funding for children with active cases at the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Although this falls below the House proposal of $89.8 million, it matches the Senate proposal. The Conference Committee proposal is $7.9 million, or 10 percent, above current FY 2010 budget levels. If additional FMAP funding becomes available, this appropriation could increase by up to $2.4 million. $127.4 million in child care funding for families served by or transitioning from Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC), matching the amount proposed in both the House and Senate budget proposals. The Conference Committee proposal is $11.1 million, or 10 percent, above current FY 2010 budget levels. This appropriation would not be affected by the availability of additional FMAP funds. $7.5 million in funding for Head Start state grants. This proposal is below both the House and Senate proposals of $8 million, and is also $500,000 below current FY 2010 budget levels. If additional FMAP funding becomes available, this appropriation could be increase by up to $500,000. $7.5 million in funding for the Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program. This falls below both the House and Senate proposals of $8 million, and is also $500,000 below current FY 2010 budget levels. If additional FMAP funding becomes available, this appropriation could increase by up to $500,000. $750,000 for Early Childhood Mental Health grants. This falls below the House proposal of $1 million but matches the Senate proposal. Compared to current FY 2010 levels, the Conference Committee proposal represents a $250,000, or 25 percent, reduction for this program. If additional FMAP funding becomes available, this appropriation could increase by up to $250,000. EDUCATION POLICY and MEMBER BENEFITS Below is information on "outside" sections of the budget that affects both education policy and member benefits. Pre-K-12 Education SPED Appeals Process These sections together set up an independent bureau of SPED appeals, located in DESE, but not under its control (this was a reorganization proposal of the Governor, who has been working with school officials and SPED advocates on this reorganization). Charter Schools Requires that in the event of charter school closings or grade eliminations, school districts shall retain chapter 70 allotments for students who attended the previous year. Haitian Students Plan for assistance for local school districts to address increased costs due to earthquake in Haiti. Higher Education Out-of-state Tuition Retention Higher Education institutions allowed to retain out-of-state tuition and fees. Section 162 – Study In-state tuition retention Special Commission to study in-state tuition retention. Employee Benefits and Rights Pension Cap Tightens the cap on earnings for purposes of pension contributions and benefits to 64 percent of the federal limit ($245,000 in 2009) effective for those hired on or after January 1, 2011. The cap is pegged to inflation. Return of Accumulated Pension Deductions Retirement system members with less than 10 years of service, who withdraw their pension contributions, will receive refunds reflecting the inclusion of three percent in interest earnings. Pension Appeals (DALA) Provides for a full evidentiary hearing at the Division of Administrative Law Appeals at the election of either party. A reasonable administrative fee may be imposed for the initiation of a claim for the purposes of assisting in the employment of magistrates. Prorating Retiree Health Insurance Contributions for retiree health insurance will be charged to employing jurisdictions based on the portion of the employee's service in each jurisdiction.

Avery is 7 1/2 months old. We started solids- quite slowly- at a little before 6 months. Originally, we gave her a tbsp of rice cereal per sitting. We did this maybe 3 times over 5-7 days. Then, I bought some veggies. She had green beans, peas, sweet potatoes and squash. She would eat 1/3 to 1/2 of a jar per sitting, again not even once each day.
At this point, I noticed that she would be poopy with every diaper change. BUT, the poop was strange... It was a very small amount, and kind of stuck to her butt cheeks. It was the kind of poop that would roll off the diaper and into the toilet. But never more than one little chunk. It was NOT hard or dry... It was more like, um, clay maybe?!? I tried pears and prunes to see if that would help- it didn't... She was terribly fussy (for her- which doesn't compare to the fussiness of some)!
Anyway, we stopped solids for a week and just nursed. After that week, I gave her some prunes. She had a pretty good sized poop that was more like what I had been used to. And she was much happier. That was last Friday... So, starting Monday, we have done a little bit of solids again. Monday she had green beans. Tuesday she had oatmeal. Yesterday she had peaches. Last night, she had the same small, clay-like poop.
Is this normal?? Come on, poop experts... I need your input!

Remembering fallen soldiers
November 6, 2013 —
For 47 years Dennis Baker, a retired commander from the U.S. Navy who grew up in Cochecton, NY, had a story hiding inside him. Now he is telling it in a novel titled "Restless Hearts." It is a narrative that is befitting to be told as we near Veterans Day, November 11. It asks the question: What if fallen soldiers could go home?
The germ of the story was planted in Baker's youth during the early years of the Vietnam War when the "neighbor boys started coming around the farm to see my sister. They were of the age to be drafted, and I heard people talking about war, people getting killed. The guys I knew, who never returned, they were young, they were in love, and their lives were cut short. How sad that was to lose them… and for the people they left behind not to have closure."
As the story of "Restless Hearts" unfolds, Baker uses his five main characters to shed both light on and reflect the feelings of what it's like for a soldier to head off to war and how it is for his family and the loved ones he leaves behind. Some make things right as they say their good-byes, as does his character Tony Burr, who tells his girl not to wait for him if he doesn't return (she vows to wait anyway); while Pete Baker leaves with hard words to his parents as he departs (they wanted him to go to college and not to war).
The plot has its twists and surprises, including a somewhat mysterious turn where Baker gives his fallen soldiers a second chance to tie up the loose ends of their lives as they return in spirit from the afterlife to meet, to speak with and to resolve things with their loved ones. It's "not as a ghost thing," Baker explained, "but more of a spiritual thing."
Perhaps the biggest surprise, however, is the epilogue. In it, the author discloses that his fictional characters bear the real names of young men he knew in the 1960s, men who served their country and many of whom did not return from war. It is worth noting that the novel's plot stands firmly on its own without any reference to this information in the epilogue.
"When I sat down to write, these guys were sitting in the room with me. I remember who and how they were," Baker explained. "I wanted to let them have a story of their own to finish."
"Their journey began when Les Burr drove his son, Tony, and Allan, Andy, Ricky, Frankie, Charlie and Earl to Penn Station in New York City… Only three of those brave young men would make it back before the [Vietnam] war ended."

Positive Psychology (A)
Fall 2013 quarter
Taught by
Following Frankl's existentialist urgings toward hope and meaning, as well as the humanists' emphasis on self-actualization, leading scholars in psychology founded "positive psychology" in 1998. Since that time, we now have a better understanding of humans at their best. This worldwide collaborative effort has attempted to balance early psychology's focus on psychopathology. In this class, we will study correlates to life satisfaction and examine empirical science as well as practical strategies for promoting well being, quality of life, and resilience. We will Skype with leading researchers; engage in experiential activities related to gratitude, hope, altruism, etc.; and seminar with inmates in a state prison.
This section of the class meets on Saturdays. There is also a Sunday section of the class available.

Hi, Moms - Winema here again, looking for responses in the next few days to publish in New Beginnings "Making it Work" column. You can answer here or send me a private message. By the way, the responses I've gotten since I began posting here have been so great and I even included a blurb about the forum in the last column bc you've all been so helpful! Thank you!
Here is the new Mom's question:
"My son is 14 months old (still actively nursing) and I have enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom to him, but my husband has recently been laid off from his job and it is clear that our best option is for me to return to my previous job as soon as possible. I'm so glad that I have this option, of course, but I don't know much about nursing and working, so I'd love to hear what I should be prepared for with a toddler, and also, I'm going to have to be away to host training weekends once per month. How do I handle being away from my son for 2 nights and 3 full days? I really want to continue nursing!"

Editor's note: Ryan Bloom has been one of the core developers of Apache 2.0. We spotted him at the Covalent booth during Linux World in New York last January and asked him to write a series of columns explaining the new version of Apache to O'Reilly Network readers. Here's his first column, covering what's new in Apache 2.0 and how to install it.
The Apache developers have been working on Apache 2.0 for the last two years, and on April 4, the first public beta of Apache 2.0 was released. This is the first in a series of six monthly columns in which we'll explain how Apache 2.0 differs from Apache 1.3, and why Apache users should care.
Apache's New Numbering Scheme
On Wednesday, March 28th, the Apache Group released Apache 2.0.15 as an alpha version. This is the second Apache 2.0 release to use the new numbering scheme.
In previous versions, the Apache Group released a series of alpha and beta releases, and then began to release point releases -- all of GA quality code -- so that 1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, and so on were all considered released versions of Apache.
This means that the group is put in the position of needing to release point releases without ever having put them through an alpha or beta cycle. Starting with Apache 2.0.14, the Apache Group has changed our release strategy. Every release has a number, and releases always start as alphas. Once the release has been in use, it can be upgraded to a beta or GA quality. This allows each Apache release to be thoroughly tested in real-world situations before a decision is made regarding its quality. This model is very different from the way most open-source software projects are released. For users, this means that a package they download as an alpha one day, could be a beta the following day.

One of the most important changes is the added multi-threading support to Apache 2.0. Version 1.3 relied on processes to serve requests, and that was a performance hit on many operating systems. Threads combined with processes make Apache 2.0 more scalable.
The second advantage over Apache 1.3 is filtered input/output (I/O), which allows one module to modify the output of another module. An often-requested feature of Apache 1.3 was for CGI scripts to output SSI tags. This wasn't possible in version 1.3, however filtered I/O allows this to work in Apache 2.0.
Apache 2.0 will also provide support for SSL without any modifications to the core. There is already a
mod_tls, which although minimal currently, will be extended in time to provide full SSL support.
The first hurdle to using Apache 2.0 is configuration and installation of Apache. There are two forms of configuration -- compile-time and run-time. This article will focus on getting a tarball, compiling it, and then installing it.
Before we can begin, download the latest version of Apache 2.0. The best place to get a stable copy of Apache, is from the Apache web server home page.
If you are a developer who wants to download the latest development version, you should go to the Apache developers page, and read through the relevant links about getting code from CVS.
This article will assume that you are using the Apache 2.0.15 tarball, although future versions of Apache should be very similar. Once you have the tarball, unzip and untar it with the command
tar -xvzf httpd-2*.tar.gz .
Now we can get to work configuring Apache itself. In previous versions of Apache, there were two different models for configuring Apache, each of which had been rolled by the Apache Group itself. The first method was to use a text file that controlled which components were built. The second was an "autoconf-like" system, which in reality just modified the text file for you.
With Apache 2.0, the Apache developers decided they were more interested in writing a web server than maintaining a configuration system. So, Apache 2.0 uses
autoconf and
libtool to determine which components of Apache are built. Tarballs downloaded from the Apache site already have the configure script created, but for those who have downloaded a development version to generate the configure script, run the command
./buildconf. This will traverse all of the required directories to ensure that you have all of the software components required by Apache.
Apache: The Definitive Guide
At this point, you should have a configure script at the top-level of the Apache 2.0 tree. This is the script that actually configures Apache. However, configure script has many options that allow users to control every aspect of how Apache is built. A complete list of options can be found by running:
Discussing every possible option is beyond the scope of this article, but I will cover some of the most common and most useful options.
./configure --help
--prefix. Specifies where to install Apache
--with-maintainer-mode. Compiles with full debugging options. This will be an important option, at least until the server reaches a stable release.
--with-mpm. Specifies which multiprocessing module will be used. MPMs are an integral part of Apache 2.0, and I will discuss them briefly below. A more in-depth discussion can be found online.
--enable-module. Specifies which modules should be compiled into Apache. This can be either a list of modules, or the keyword most, which configures a hard-coded list of modules.
--enable-mods-shared. Specifies which modules should be compiled as shared modules.

For more information, visit our conference home page. You can register online.
Multiprocessing Modules (MPMs) let you tune Apache 2.0 for any site. What works on one site or operating system may not work well on another. To solve this problem, system administrators can specify how their Apache server runs. Some OSes have more options than others. For example, on Unix there are three standard MPMs:
httpd.conf file.
Windows, on the other hand, has only one option:
Once the configure script has run, we must build the server. This is done by running
make in the top-level of the Apache source directory. The final step is to actually install the new server, which is done by running
make install. This command will copy the server binaries and support files into the directory specified with the
--prefix option to the configure script. If no prefix is specified, then
/usr/local/apache is used by default.
We are almost done now. If the install succeeded, you should be able to change to the installation directory and run
./bin/apachectl start. However, we need to know which port the server is listening on. If you installed as root, it should use port 80, the default HTTP port, however if you installed as some other user Apache defaults to port 8080. This can be modified by editing the
httpd.conf file, and searching for the
Port directive. Now, start up your favorite browser and request the page, either
http://localhost/ or
http://localhost:8080/, depending on the port. You should see the default Apache web page. If you don't, the error log should tell you what happened.
You have just set up your first Apache 2.0 web server, and should now be serving pages. Remember that this server is not a released product yet, so there are likely to be some bugs. If you find any, please report them through the Apache bug database.
Next month, I will focus more on the run-time configuration as I discuss how to how to migrate your servers from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2.0.

I recently noted that everybody I know over the age of 55 knows the term "ptomaine poisoning" and regards it as a very common term. Two weeks ago it was one of the answers to NPR's Sunday weekly puzzle. Yet no one I know under the age of 45 as even heard of the term and that includes two nurses and a physician. I find this to be rather strange.
P.S. When I checked the spelling "ptomaine" was flagged though it is spelled corectly.

ptomaine came up as a subject here last fall.. i stumbled across the word, -and while i too am shy of 55, i knew the word, and vaguely knew the meaning.. but when i looked it up, i had such delight in learning were it came from!
we can continue here, but this thread will serve as a refresher.

My father had a patient some time in the twenties who called it "pantomime poisoning".

I thought that "ptomaine" had probably been discussed before but when I searched for it I got no results. What started this is that every Sunday morning I listen to and write down the NPR Quiz which comes on at 8:40 EDT. I then call my son-in-law and daughter and give it to them. The puzzle was to fine a "L" word for the first blank and change the "L" sound to a "T" sound to get the word for the second blank. The sentence was: By eating ____ in a Chinese restaurant you are not likely to get _____ poisoning.
When my literate son-in-law guessed at lomein and was then stumped I was surprised and when my BSRN daughter also had not heard of "ptomaine" I was really surprised. I called others, the general result was those over 55 regarded the question "Have you heard of ptomaine poisoning" as absurd, of course, they have heard of it. While those under 45 including my personal physician drew a complete blank.

Reminds me of a Bloom County strip (there's probably an age thang there, too) where Bingley's dad, in a moment of utter frustration resulting form his advancing age, said, "I don't know whether to wind my watch or go blind!"
His son, all innocence and bewilderment, asks, "Dad? What does it mean, 'to wind your watch'?"

a few years back, my son and i were watching The Third Man- (and just posting that, i am going to guess about half the board has never heard of the movie!- a thriller set in post war austria) and one of the characters makes a 'station to station call'-- which drew a puzzled blank from my son! i still remember when you had to schedule oversea's calls, (letters would be exchanged, to make sure the other party was home!) and even then we still opted for the cheaper station to station, rather than the more expensive person to person!
odd bits of technology hang on in movie scripts, or Curious George illustrations, and in cryptic puzzles!_________________________

But how does a very common term used in states as different as Minnesota, West Virginia and New York disappear so thoroughly in such a short period of time?

When was the last reported case?

referring to a dictionary before making your own guess [throwing up hands in horror e] Yeah--it's against the roolz! And nobody had better LIU before voting, neither!
Faldage and Jackie
Now something needs to be explained maybe. Why did I ask you about the yes or no of using a dictionary. Well, because I thought that maybe people brought up words that are as hard to get from a dictionary as it is to guess them. I must have overestimated you guys.
So you can drop your arms over this misunderstanding I hope.
It took me some time to clearly look at both you reactions.
It slowly dawned on me when you were talking on SQUINCH about grievances, Jackie. Gee,I'm a little embarrassed.

I guess if you want to be Hogmistress you can get the word from anywhere you want.

No, Faldage, no of course I don't want to be Hogmistress . I only want to learn to play that game , that's all. Just experience how it works. I only thought it more complicated than it really is.
Thanks for your answer.

It's not meant to be particularly complex. But once in a while you come across a word that's simple, ambiguous, sassy, obscure, silly, unexpected, impish, whatever, and you say "Now wouldn't THAT make a great Hogwash word!" and Presto, you're a Hogmistress!

Don't understand from which crypt this turned up, but sure there will be another hogwash some time. Hogs will get dirty over and over again.

There was a spam posting between Candy and Jackie's just
prior to hers. The old ugg boot advertisement appeared.
I reported it, and pm'd Candy as to what to do when they
appear as so many advised me when I just responded to the
spam rather than using the 'contact us' button. Anu
told me in an email that the site tries to eliminate them
but they are coming in from China now.

Step one: Announce that a new round of Hogwash is in the works and what the word for the round is.
Step two: Receive private messages from all those submitting daffynitions for the round. If the sennight is running out with fewer daffynitions than desired, post a reminder on the invite thread.
Step three: collate the daffynitions, include the correct answer, and post in a seperate thread after seven days.
Step four: Post answer and voting statistics in a seperate thread after seven days
It sounds terrible
