Running Half a Marathon With a Whole Heart
Posted on April 19, 2012 by Paula Kiger
World Autism Awareness Day April 2, 2012
For the past three years, one of my goals has been to complete a 5K run (3.1 miles) in less than 30 minutes. I have written about that over and over.
Therefore, it may come as a surprise to you that this post is all about running 13.1 miles, and I don't have my heart set on a specific finish time.
I will be running the 2012 Allstate Life Insurance℠ Boston 13.1 Marathon® on Sunday, September 16, 2012, as part of the Autism Speaks team. When I told my husband that I wanted to do this, he asked, "why run 13.1 miles in Boston when you could do it here in Tallahassee?" It has to be Boston, it has to be September 16, 2012, and it has to be with Autism Speaks because someone I have never met asked me to.
Perhaps these statements …. running 13.1 miles in "whatever time I can do" when my main goal is 3.1 miles in 29:59 or less; traveling to Boston to run because someone I have never met and never verbally spoken to asked me to; running as part of the Autism Speaks team when my child does not have autism …. don't make much sense.
Here are some of the reasons I said, "this has to happen" when I read Luau's blog on February 14:
1) Beyond the fact that I had seen some made for tv movies about children with autism and done a little reading, my life had not been directly touched by autism until the day my almost-one-year-old failed most of the indicators for "typical development" on an assessment given by the Center for Autism and Related Disabilities. No eye contact, no words, no pointing, nothing. Even though Wayne was not diagnosed with any condition on the autism spectrum, I have felt one teeny tiny scintilla of what I hear from my friends and acquaintances who have children with autism. That scintilla is wedged deep within my psyche and even though I have no right to say "I can relate," …….. I can't walk away.
2) I have worked for Florida's State Child Health Insurance Program for 17 years. Our program does not cover autism. Even though I know it's "just my job" to explain this to families whose child needs far more than the "24 therapy visits in a 60 day period when significant improvement is expected to result," that are covered, it still breaks my heart to be on the other end of the phone line when they say, "But how will he/she get the intensive, year-round therapy he/she needs?"
3) Because several times a week, I read Diary of a Mom, and am given the gift of Jess's wisdom, raw candor, and selflessness in sharing her journey (and Luau's) journey through parenting a "neurotypical" child and a child on the autism spectrum. The only way I know how to pay her back is to try to do something to help her child and other children and adults with autism.
Therefore, I signed on to the Autism Speaks Team knowing that my end of the deal is to raise $500 for Autism Speaks. The good news is I have raised $130.
More good news is that if I accumulate the most or second-to-most comments of everyone participating in this promotion that is hosted by Amanda at Parenting by Dummies, Paula Foster from Moments in Frames will donate a dollar per comment up to $250. Just for your comments!! (This lasts through May 6.)
(ps – if you just want to donate, of course that's fine too! Click here to be taken to my personal donation link.) [link no longer active – pk]
I am participating in a blogging promotion sponsored by Moments in Frames to help raise money for Autism Speaks. Please help us reach our goal by leaving a comment. Each comment you leave me could earn $1 (up to $250) for Autism Speaks.
Editor's Notes 7/17/15:
1) I have re-released this blog via an app which reposts older items I have written. The Moments in Frames promotion is over.
2) It is critical to understand that Diary of a Mom's position on Autism Speaks has changed since April of 2012. Please read the post why I #BoycottAutimSpeaks for her explanation.

Luau on April 19, 2012 at 3:06 pm said:
Oh Paula, I am so touched by this and am honored that you would make this trip in part based on a request from a guy you've never met. I look forward to breaking bread with you on the 15th and sharing the course with you on the 16th.

This is a wonderful thing you're doing! I would love to be in good enough shape to run for the cause someday! Till then on behalf of my 7 year old daughter I thank you! 🙂
Suzanne Locke on April 19, 2012 at 5:00 pm said:
We are kindred spirits. I too am running the 13.1 in September in Boston because someone I never met asked me to and despite the fact that I live in Tennessee.
Boston was and always will be my home and I can think of no better way to celebrate kids like Brooke and my Shea (a 7-year old on the spectrum) than to run 13.1 miles with people I've never met, but nonetheless adore.
I admire you for doing this Paula. You have such a caring spirit.

Angela F on April 19, 2012 at 8:27 pm said:
I too am going to participate in this 13.1 mile marathon for Autism Speaks because of Luau's invitation (mostly because he said I could walk if I need to!) I am not a runner but I look forward to this event – I have 2 sons with autism and will think of them with every stride. I hope to meet you there!

Luna on April 20, 2012 at 3:10 am said:
This is spectacular! Jess said reading this would be worth it, she was right. The fact that your life has not been directly affected by autism just makes this more bad ass. Got goosebumps reading your words. It's so encouraging to hear about people like you, those willing to take action and actually do something. The idea that you have taken up a cause when you have no personal stake in it is humbling, inspiring and heroic. Seriously. Big thanks from my entire family!!!
Good luck on the run!!!

Patty O. on April 20, 2012 at 3:32 am said:
I can't tell you how much it means to have a parent who hasn't been directly impacted by autism make such an effort to help kids like my own. I don't think I can really explain how significant this is to me. Your willingness to stand up for a cause like this is so heartwarming! Thank you for doing this!

Paula – you're incredibly inspiring in crusading and dedicating your training & your race to a cause that has touched you – maybe not deep and close (like a dagger), but at least scratches periodically. Best of luck in your training to get to Boston in September!
Good luck! I love that you responded to Luau's challenge. I've responded to Jess's request, and commented here. 🙂 They both rock. Hope you rock your run!!
thank you, and rock the run!! -Marylou

Thank you for what you are doing! I have two personal friends with autistic sons and I know what they go through on a daily basis. My own nephew, while on the spectrum, was never "labeled"as he fit too many categories. Luckily his case is mild comparatively speaking. You can be sure to also fnd a donation from me soon. You are awesome!

Thank you Paula! I read Jess' blog as an autism mom, and Luau's blog as a runner (very amateur). You are inspiring on both fronts. Good luck and have tons of fun!
What an awesome and big heart you have! I bet that training for a half marathon will also help you with that 29:59 5K goal. Best of luck.
Wow. Just Wow! Thank you so much! You are amazing 🙂
Thanks & God Bless!

Hey Paula this sounds awesome! The only real contact I've had with autism is through a movie I made about a year ago. One of the main characters was autistic so I had to do a lot of research. Since then, I've been more aware of causes like this, and I wish you all the best!

Michael Selmer on April 27, 2012 at 1:47 am said:
Great job, Paula … on the blogpost and the fundraising. I hope you reach your comment goal. In the original draft of "Harvest of the Heart," Elsa, the main character, was mildly autistic. That element was dropped at the suggestion of my editor, but after all the research I did, I still feel an affinity for autistic children and autism research.
Rick on April 29, 2012 at 8:58 pm said:
I hope you have a great Half Marathon!! I did my first last year at age 64 with only about a year and a half of running experience. Your goal should be to train without injury, and to finish the half! Enjoy the run! A reasonable time goal (secondary to finishing) might be 2:30. If you can do a 5k in 30, 2:30 for the half is doable.
Jester Queen on April 30, 2012 at 2:12 am said:
I have to say. As the mom to two kids on the spectrum, I am extremely ambivalent about autism speaks. They do a LOT of good, but tend to focus on the negative almost exclusively, which is frustrating for those of us hoping to present a more balanced picture. Note, however, that I'm commenting. Because in the end, they do a LOT of good.
Xarah on May 1, 2012 at 10:08 am said:
It doesn't matter in what time you run it. It doesn't even matter if you finish the run or not. All it matters that you are going to start. I applaud you!

She and the children loved each other so much.

Pansernæven (engelsk originaltitel The Gauntlet) er en amerikansk actionfilm instrueret af Clint Eastwood i 1977 med Eastwood og Sondra Locke i hovedrollerne. The filmens øvrige medvirkende inkluderer Pat Hingle, William Prince, Bill McKinney, og Mara Corday. Eastwood spiller politibetjenten Ben Schokley, der har alkoholproblemer, og derfor er et noget besynderligt valg til en specialopgave. Under udførelsen af opgaven forelsker han sig i en prostitueret (Locke), som han skal eskortere fra Las Vegas til Phoenix, hvor hun skal vidne mod mafiaen. Denne opgave er yderst vanskelig at gennemføre, fordi mange tvivlsomme elementer er interesserede i at undgå, at kvinden aflægger sit vidneudsagn. Schokley må derfor "beslaglægge" en bus for at bringe hende til retsbygningen i Phoenix. Denne handling medfører, at han bliver eftersøgt som desperat kriminel af sine kolleger i politiet.

Filmen blev en stor publikumssucces i USA, og den indtjente i alt ca. $100 millioner på verdensplan. Den fik som de fleste af Eastwoods film fra 1970'erne en blandet modtagelse hos anmelderne, som især var uenige om, hvorvidt de humoristiske indslag i den meget voldelige handling var passende eller upassende. Flertallet var dog negative, og i New York Times blev filmen betegnet som direkte rædselsfuld.

Medvirkende
 Clint Eastwood; Detective Ben Shockley
 Sondra Locke; Augustina "Gus" Mally
 Pat Hingle; Maynard Josephson
 William Prince; Commissioner Blakelock
 Bill McKinney; Constable
 Michael Cavanaugh; Feyderspiel
 Mara Corday; Jail Matron
 Doug McGrath; Bookie

Die  Dorfkirche Heinersdorf mit Mauer und Friedhof, deren erste Teile in der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts errichtet wurden, steht in der Romain-Rolland-Straße 54/56 im heutigen Berliner Ortsteil Heinersdorf des Bezirks Pankow. Sie ist eine der über 50 unter Denkmalschutz stehenden Dorfkirchen in Berlin.

Geschichte
Benannt nach seinem Gründer, einem Lokator namens Heinrich, über den sonst nichts Weiteres bekannt ist, entstand das Straßenangerdorf Heinersdorf um 1230, als die Markgrafenbrüder Johann I. und Otto III. den Landesausbau auf dem Teltow und dem Barnim vorantrieben. 1319 wurde Heinersdorf durch den Markgrafen Waldemar an das Heilig-Geist-Spital verkauft, in dessen Eigentum es bis 1691 blieb. Nachdem es wieder in Staatsbesitz kam, wurde es 1704 dem Amtsbezirk Niederschönhausen zugeordnet. Auf einem Lageplan von 1703 ist Heinersdorf noch als Angerdorf dargestellt, in dem die Kirche auf dem Anger steht. Erst in der Folgezeit verengte es sich zu einem Straßendorf.

Im Jahr 1920 wurde Heinersdorf zusammen mit vielen anderen Ortschaften in Berlin eingemeindet. Die Kirchengemeinde gehörte lange Zeit als Filialkirche zur Gemeinde in Weißensee bevor sie 1905 unabhängig wurde. Heute hat die Kirchengemeinde etwas mehr als 800 Mitglieder und gehört zum Evangelischen Kirchenkreis Berlin Nord-Ost. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Kirche nur leicht beschädigt.

Baubeschreibung

Der Bau der einschiffigen Feldsteinkirche als Saalkirche, also nur mit Langhaus und ohne Chor, begann in der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts, wie die in gleichmäßigen Schichten versetzten Feldsteinquader an beiden Langswänden bis zur Sohlbankhöhe der (später veränderten) Fenster zeigen sowie an der Westseite, sofern sie nicht durch spätere Anbauten verdeckt sind. Der Feldsteinsockel des Westturms wirkt mittelalterlich, weil er sorgfältig gequadert ist; er wurde aber erst 1893 errichtet. Die Nordseite des Langhauses zeigt noch zwei zugesetzte spätgotische Fenster mit Backsteinrahmung, darunter eines mit Zwillingsbogenabschluss.

Ansonsten ist von dem mittelalterlichen Ursprungsbau nur noch wenig erkennbar. Die späteren Um- und Anbauten wurden in Backstein vorgenommen, abgesehen vom Feldsteinuntergeschoss des Turmes von 1893. Ursprünglich besaß die Kirche einen Dachturm. Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts wurde an der Südwand der Anbau einer Seitenkapelle mit Satteldach quer zu dem des Kirchenschiffs errichtet. Im Innern ist sie mit einem Netzgewölbe auf Engelskonsolen überspannt. Der Schlussstein ist mit Medaillons verziert. Sie war einst Leichenhaus, dann Sakristei und dient seit 1935 als Traukapelle. Die spätere Erweiterung der Seitenkapelle nach Osten unter dem Schleppdach des Kirchenschiffs ist nicht eingewölbt. Die ursprüngliche Holzbalkendecke des Kirchenschiffs wurde später durch ein Gewölbe ersetzt.

Im Jahre 1893 wurde im Westen ein querrechteckiger neugotischer Turm errichtet, der ein quergestelltes Satteldach hat und einen kupfergedeckten Dachreiter trägt. In ihm hängen drei Bronzeglocken aus dem 15. und 16. Jahrhundert. Das Pfarrhaus mit einem Verbindungsgang wurde 1909 von Robert Leibnitz nach Entwürfen von Carl James Bühring angebaut. 1934/1935 wurde der östliche rechteckige Chor von 1860 nach Süden verlängert und zum Querschiff umgebaut. Zusätzlich zu der bereits im Westen vorhandenen Empore von 1721 wurden zwei weitere im Querschiff errichtet.

Ausstattung
Das pokalförmige Taufbecken auf Balusterfuß aus Kalkstein datiert von 1621. Die 1629 gestiftete Taufschale ist eine Nürnberger Arbeit aus Messing mit dem Flachrelief von Adam und Eva unter dem Baum der Erkenntnis. Der hölzerne Deckel wird von zwei Delphinen geziert. In den durch Pilaster getrennten Feldern am Taufbecken sind Bibelverse eingelassen.

In den zwei Fenstern im Osten befinden sich Glasmalereien von Charles Crodel. Die zweimanualige Orgel mit 20 Registern stammt aus dem Jahr 1935 und wurde von der Firma Schuke errichtet.

Weitere Ausstattungsgegenstände:

 Kelch und Patene von 1691,
 Weihnachtskrippe aus dem 15. Jahrhundert.

Imperial State Electric just released a new album called Reptile Brain Music. A fitting title since the album is packed with straight forward, simple, guitar driven rock & roll. It really is music for the reptile part of our brain, its relying heavily on basic instinct! Short, compact and energetic songs, 2-3 minutes long.
It's a great record with a lot of nice riffs and classic 70's guitar solos. Lovely analog drums and genuine imperfect vocals makes the album very charming in its simplicity. From the raunchy quickie Emptiness Into The Void, to the easy-going Nothing Like You Said It Would Be and over to the perfect Paul Stanley/Kiss tribute song Stay The Night.


So today I was asked a question about TCP/IP. Specifically, about how a TCP connection is established. Networking is something I definitely do not spend enough time on (and have I have never really gone into the nitty gritty as to how it works either). I understand all the basics and what I need to get around for my job, as well as some more advanced or bespoke bits that I have learnt / done on the fly as and when required, but think that I do need to learn more about how the underlying technology works.
As a start to this, I am writing this quick post to answer this question. (See first line of this post). I did know that some kind of handshake needed to be done to establish the initial connection (that part is obvious), but the specific answer is quoted below (source: Wikipedia).
Question: How is a TCP connection first established?
The active open is performed by the client sending a SYN to the server. It sets the segment's sequence number to a random value A.
In response, the server replies with a SYN-ACK. The acknowledgment number is set to one more than the received sequence number (A + 1), and the sequence number that the server chooses for the packet is another random number, B.
Finally, the client sends an ACK back to the server. The sequence number is set to the received acknowledgement value i.e. A + 1, and the acknowledgement number is set to one more than the received sequence number i.e. B + 1.
At this point, both the client and server have received an acknowledgment of the connection.
I have got a Cisco for beginners book sitting on the bookshelf here, so I think as soon as my current personal projects and VCP training are finished, I'll get back to reading that! I also hope to post more on Networking in the future as I come to terms with the fundamentals.
A quick and easy blog post today on how to modify your NIC MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size setting in the Windows Registry.
The MTU is usually determined by negotiating with the lower-level driver. However, this value may be overridden.
Open regedit as an administrator account on the server in question.
Give this a decimal value equal to the setting you would like your MTU to be (measured in bytes).
For more information about Maximum Transmission Unit sizes, have a look at the official Wikipedia article.
Here is a screenshot of an MTU setting I made on this server using 1400 bytes as an example. This would obviously be tuned to whatever amount you are wanting to use for your NIC and specific application settings.
First of all you may or may not want to set up some monitoring going to your various WAN connections on the HA cluster. Restarting the slave unit should not have any effect on these connections in theory as your master unit is the one handling all the work. The slave is merely there to take over should things go pear shaped on the master unit. When the slave restarts you can watch your ping statistics or other connections just to ensure everything stays up whilst it reboots.
3. Login and look for "HA status" under the status area – this should be the default page that loads. It should show as "Active-passive" if this is the mode your HA cluster is in. Click the [Configure] link next to this.
4. This will give you an overview of your HA cluster – you can view which unit is the Master and which is the slave. This step is optional and just gives you a nice overview of how things are looking at the moment. Click "View HA statistics" near the top right if you would like to view each unit's CPU/Memory usage and other statistics.
5. Return to the "Status" home page of your firewall GUI. Click in the "CLI Console" black window area to get to your console. (Optionally, you could also just SSH in if you have this enabled).
7. This will show which firewall is master and slave in the cluster e.g.
Look for the number right at the end and note this down. In the above example the Slave unit has the number "0" . Note this down.
Where "x" is the number noted down in step number 7.
This will change your management console to this particular firewall unit. i.e. the slave unit in our case. You should notice your command line change to reflect the name of the newly selected HA member.
10. Press "Y" to confirm and reboot the slave.
Monitor your ping / connection statistics to ensure everything looks fine. Give it a minute or so to boot up again, then return to your HA statistics page to ensure everything looks good.

"A deeply touching story about survival, hope, and love." --Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces
For readers of Robin Benway's Far from the Tree, a powerful and heartwarming look at a teen girl about to age out of the foster care system.
Growing up in foster care, Muir has lived in many houses. And if she's learned one thing, it is to Pack. Light. Carry only what fits in a suitcase.
Toothbrush? Yes. Socks? Yes. Emotional attachment to friends? foster families? a boyfriend? Nope! There's no room for any additional baggage.
Muir has just one year left before she ages out of the system. One year before she's free. One year to avoid anything--or anyone--that could get in her way.
Then she meets Francine. And Kira. And Sean.
And everything changes.

PEPPER PIKE, Ohio – The Walsh Cavaliers women's basketball team flipped a switch in the second half as they turned a 35-31 halftime deficit into a 72-56 victory against the Ursuline College Arrows on Thursday (Jan. 17) night.
The Cavaliers used runs of 10-0, 7-0 and 9-0, all within the second half to come back and win the team's fifth straight contest.
The Arrows took a 2-0 lead before Lexie Scarton responded with a three pointer. The teams exchanged baskets, tying the game at five three minutes in. The Arrows pushed the lead to 12-7, when Walsh made a 5-0 run to tie the game. Jill Blacksten made a pair of free throws, and Jamie Halloran added a layup as the Cavaliers tied it at 12 with 4:13 to go in the first quarter. Brittni Clopton gave the Cavaliers an 18-16 lead with two free throws with 1:58 left. The Arrows ended the quarter on a 5-0 run, leading 21-18.
Ursuline pushed the lead to six twice, but the Cavaliers answered both times and pulled within four points. After the Arrows made a three pointer, Scarton scored four straight points as Walsh clawed back to a three-point deficit. Trailing 31-26, Shelby Henkel added three straight points with Walsh trailing by two with 2:38 to go in the first half. The Cavaliers trailed 34-31 at the intermission.
The Arrows started the second half with a basket but Mayci Sales scored four straight points as the Cavaliers kept the Arrows within one possession. The Arrows led 41-37 with 7:18 left in the third quarter when Walsh went on a 10-0 run over the next four minutes. Blacksten converted a pair of free throws and then tied the game on a driving layup. On the next possession, Kimmie Borck stole the ball and finished on the other half with a layup as Walsh led 43-41. The run wasn't done yet as Blacksten put-back her own miss and then Scarton followed with a layup. The Cavaliers led 47-41 and ended the third quarter with a 49-44 advantage after a Quionche Carter layup.
Walsh began the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run over the first three and a half minutes. Carter scored four points and Borck added a three pointer from the top of the key, forcing an Arrows timeout, up 56-44. After an Arrows three ball, Walsh continued to shoot well from downtown as Blacksten, Carter and Borck all nailed deep three pointers on a 9-0 spurt. The Cavaliers led 65-47 with four minutes to go and completed the comeback win as 72-56 winners.
Carter scored seven points in the fourth quarter to end up with a team-high 16 points and eight rebounds. Scarton scored 11 points and Blacksten added 11 points and seven rebounds off the bench. Borck gave the Cavaliers ten points off the bench, all in the second half. Clopton had a team-high ten rebounds in the game, a season-high.
The Cavaliers shot 9-of-17 (53%) in the fourth quarter, including five-of-nine from deep. Overall, Walsh grabbed 51 rebounds with 18 offensive boards. They outscored Ursuline 41-21 in the second half.
Walsh will make the trip north to Painesville, Ohio for a G-MAC matchup with the Storm, starting at 11:00 AM. The time of the game has been moved up due to potential inclement weather.

Q: Sample variance degrees of freedom (two-stage least squares) Let's say I have one endogenous variable $X_1$ in the linear model
$$
Y=X_1\beta
$$
and two instrumental variables $Z_1$ and $Z_2$ (strongly correlated with $X_1$ but not $Y$).
I compute the two-stage least squares in the following way:
$$
\widehat{\beta}_{2SLS} = [X'Z(Z'Z)^{-1}Z'X]^{-1}[X'Z(Z'Z)^{-1}Z'y]
$$
I'm trying to understand the number of degrees of freedom in this situation in order to correct the calculation of the sample variance of my final regression model. I have two options:

*

*According to Multiple linear regression degrees of freedom, I would have $N-2$ degrees of freedom.

*However, because during the first stage of 2SLS I regress $X_1$ on the $Zs$, i.e., I run OLS on the linear model
$$
X_1=\delta_1Z_1 + \delta_2Z_2
$$
and in this case we have two predictor variables ($Z_1$ and $Z_2$), so perhaps I have $N-3$ degrees of freedom.
Any hints about which one works here?

A: Either is fine, asymptotically. Recall that the main goal in the degrees of freedom corrections of the error variance estimate in OLS is to render the estimate $s^2$ an unbiased estimator of $\sigma^2$, and also a required ingredient to $t$- and $F$-finite-sample distribution theory in normal regression models.
Now, finite-sample properties for IV estimators are, outside toy models, either unwieldy or plain unavailable, such that asymptotic approximations are needed.
In particular, it can be shown that
$$\frac{1}{n}\sum_i(y_i-x_i\hat\beta_{2SLS})^2$$
is consistent for $\sigma^2$. Now, rescaling this expression by $\frac{n}{n-K}$ for any finite $K$ such as 2 or 3 will not matter asymptotically, as $\frac{n}{n-K}\to1$.

bad site, blocked me, and i sended them email 4 times, have no any reply .


I have a question. Does the last poll option "Something else entirely that hopefully doesn't include Snape." mean you think the blame lies somewhere/on someone else that's not Snape, or you just don't want to involve Snape in this discussion period due to past craziness in these boards?
Sorry, was stuck at the airport for longer than is healthy. Ahem. The latter. This thread should be about James and I kind of, sort of tried to anticipate anything that might make this about Snape.
The problem with the switch to Peter as the SK was James and Sirius overestimating Peter's regard for them. Why they assumed the little sychophant had the same loyalty to them that they had for each other is really a puzzle to me. It really didn't take very long for Peter to decide that the safest place for him was with Voldemort; he was spying for a year before the final betrayal.
Again, he was one their closest friends. If you can't trust those closest to you, who can you trust?
And Peter had proven loyal to them before - he never told anyone that Remus was a werewolf, did he? He likely kept tons of smaller secrets for them over the years as a friend in the Marauders and as a member of the OOTP.

And it's not like Peter was open about joining up with Voldemort. No one in the Order seemed to suspect that he didn't mean it when he claimed to be on their side. He seemed to have been very good at the double agent thing.
Just because readers might see Peter as a sycophant based on his ONE appearance in canon when young and his subsequent appearances as a DEATH EATER - doesn't mean that is how his friends would see him. I think that is what JKR took into account when she wrote. I have to imagine that there isn't a reader alive who'd consider having Peter as a friend - or others that we only saw in their worst light. James knew Peter under far different circumstances for a long period of time and would have a more rounded view of his character - as an Order member, friend, etc., than we could get from the canon we were given.

I've answered in the Peter thread.
Of course he didn't squeal on them to the school authorities; he was right there running with the werewolf -- even enabling the werewolf to get out of the Shrieking Shack. IOW there was no advantage for him to tattle about that and their animagus forms. In fact there was actually a risk to him if he did so.
He wasn't a loyal member of the Order for a great length of time at any rate. Admittedly there's no canon, but I believe he approached Voldemort rather than the reverse.
I think we have an overly negative view of Peter. That's not to say he doesn't deserve it. I mean, he sold out his best friend. That's not something you can do without some serious issues there. However, we see people and events through the eyes of Harry. While not a first person perspective, we still know Harry's thoughts, feelings, fears, etc. So it only comes as natural that Harry would see Peter as a thoughtless, cowardly sycophant without seeing anything else. The man is responsible for the death of his parents and the 12-year prison sentence of the man closest to the real thing. However, I think there is more to Peter than just the craven sycophant. There had to be. There would be no reason for James and Sirius to so much as give Peter the time if there wasn't. They were the coolest kids in Hogwarts, which essentially gave them carte blanche when it came to social dealings. They could be arrogant. They could be cruel. The populace would still love them. Why, then, would they choose to hang around Peter, who wasn't very talented? There must have been something.
Anyway, back to James. I don't think it was a mistake to trust Peter. It makes sense. What would Voldemort want with Peter? If he wasn't the spy, there would be no reason to try and find him. Peter was never very good at anything, really. It'd be a waste of effort to try and take Peter out, when more time could be spent getting Lily and James, or Sirius, or the Prewetts or the McKinnons or some of the other wizards Moody told Harry about. It was a sound plan in principle, it just so happened Peter was a spy. Think about it. In chess, which pieces do you really want to take (besides the king?) You want the queen, the rook, the bishop, the knight. It'd be like targeting a pawn and letting the most powerful pieces run free. Although, as it turns out, if you neglect the pawns, they can really hurt you.
"The problem is, intelligence isn't distributed evenly amongst the general population..."

I know it is hard to move the discussion to the Peter thread, but you'll notice that some of the people who are very familiar with the rules have been trying to do that.
There is a Marauders Group Character Analysis tread, too.
How is it naive to expect one of your closest friends who is in the same top-secret crime-fighting organization as you to be willing to risk their life to help you?
Because you consider him a weak, talentless thing?
How is it naive to expect that same friend will do this by doing his duty as secret-keeper?
Same answer as above. How will a weak wizard be able to keep a secret if he was caught?
The people in the OOTP are little different than Aurors in what they have to do. It wouldn't be any more unreasonable for James to expect Peter to do his job than it would for Harry to expect the same of his Aurors.
It would not be unreasonable for James to expect that from Sirius or Remus. But to expect that from a a wizard about whom James and Sirius have no opinion whatsoever is not reasonable at all IMO.
I'm not sure you can take Sirius' word here. I don't think they considered him a weak and talentless thing when he was made SK.
They did IMO. That's what Sirius says in POA. They never thought such a weak and talentless thing like Peter could be a DE. They thought he would never have the courage for that IMO.
I think James did not think this carefully and more importantly he did not consult anyone else. Dumbledore or Moody might have helped him; but I think he made a mistake when he accepted Sirius' suggestion and acted according to that.
I think the "weak and talentless" bit from Sirius was exaggeration. All Sirius' thoughts on Peter are based on hindsight and after years of brooding in Azkaban. I took it to mean that they never thought it was in Peter's nature to become a DE.
I don't see how Dumbledore or Moody would have made a difference. Peter fooled everyone. Lily also did not appear to have any issues with Sirius' plan.
I don't think you can fault Sirius and James for trusting their friend.
I thought I'd dig myself into this thread as well, since James is such a contradictory character to me. Apologies in advance if my replies are a little thin, but James isn't my particular field of study, as many of you might know.
I think his greatest strength is his faithfulness. Once wun, he'd be a friend forever, through thick and thin. His weakness lies, if you ask me, in his inability to see people for what they are, or how other people see them. He has very set opinions, if you ask me.
I'm fairly sure he did it on instinct, but not for the right reasons, if that makes sense.
To be quite frank, it could be because he'd get a chance to stay out of trouble. He's also know as being quite intelligent, but we also know he was a troublemaker, so it can't be because of his personality as such.
Foolish. Casting an AK curse takes a mere second; it wasn't as if it bought anyone more time. I'm also mystified as to why on Earth he was wandless to begin with, knowing how his entire family was under a death threat (the same, btw, goes for Lily).
I think the James that Harry knows before OotP is a very good father; the image Harry has of him is the image of a devoted and brave father and husband, and regardless of the truth of that image, it seems to be helpful to Harry. It is, however, canon that Harry changes hiw views of his father after SWM. The major difference between the two, if you ask me, is that James seems to have broken a lot of school rules simply because he could, while Harry honestly does it because he thinks it's for the greater good.
I believe he did, but I also think he wanted to trust one of his best friends even more. Plus, I think there might have been an aspect of showing to the world that someone from the (in)famouse house of Black could indeed be trusted with such matters - at least it makes sense to me, given what I know of them both.
Both yes and no. Sirius is, just like James, eternally devoted to his friends and the ones he loves. He is, however, very like Harry in the sense that he throws himself headfirst into danger and then has to be helped, and for a boy who's of the "I won't do as you say, I'll do as you do" nature like Harry is, he's probably not the best influence. Of course, James couldn't be expected to assume this from the brief time he knew Harry.
It's hard to say, given that what we know of him as an adult (barely) is mostly through memories. My bet is no, though. His opinions as an adolescent were so set in stone, and he never really lived to mature and possibly change his views of things. It's normally experience rather than age than shapes people, and even if he had had a very rich life, his experiences at the age of 21 must have been somewhat limited.
No more than SWM did, really. One thing that I can't eve figure out about James is that while he is always spoken of as a lovely, supportive friend, I don't think we get to see much of him being so wonderful - on the contrary. Everything we know of his good sides is more or less hearsay, while there are canon evidence pointing elsewhere. That's why I can't really figure him out, I guess.
As he seemed to make a sport out of hexing people in general, I'm not sure he'd have been kind to Severus without the connection to Lily, but as it is, I think it made it worse. If you're interested in a girl and she has a male best friend, it would probably put a strain on your feelings for him.
It undeniably sounds very kind, and something that a good friend would do. From what I know, James wasn't short of money.
Given the timeline, they can't have been "out and about" for very long. Even so, it makes most sense that they went into hiding asap after realising there was a threat to their family. I'm not the best with timelines, though, so I can't really speculate on character traits based on it.
I see that SusanBones has already tried once to get you to stick to the topic at hand - James.
I also see it didn't quite work.
Make it work. This thread is for James. Not Peter. Not Sirius. Follow her links or stick to the topic.
I'd have to say that James did mature. I'd say that maybe Remus and Sirius would exaggerate their best friend's best qualities posthumously. That's their choice; they want to remember James in the best light. However, Dumbledore and McGonagall are probably better character witnesses than Sirius and Remus. Also, I think the ultimate character barometer is Lily. She absolutely loathed James in their fifth year. However, they ended up married. She must have seen some change in James's character to even consider going out with him. I think that most people's accounts of James as a good person are accurate. There are merely too many people who say he was great to assume that he remained the cocky, arrogant youth he was when he was 15.
I would have to say that the best measurement of James' character would come from the memorial at Godric's Hollow. The memorial was put up by the people of the WW. It is the last statement on his character by the people who knew him well and were not his best friends. He was someone who was admired and missed, I think the WW lost a a great deal when James was killed. He grew out of the spoiled brat stage to become a fine man and would have IMO been a strong influence on the WW's people for the better.

What cannon evidence do you have for this?

Very true and, as you imply, very understandable.
However, Dumbledore and McGonagall are probably better character witnesses than Sirius and Remus.
Well yes, he did make head boy which seems to indicate an improvement, however that is not the only possible reason. Also we know, iirc, that James was still breaking curfew, probably every month, to run around with a werewolf out of bounds. To me this does not indicate either a higher level of maturity or any deflating of his head (to quote Sirius) If he was engaging in that sort of behaviour it seems to me he was still putting his own fun above others safety and still believed he could get away with it.
Also, I think the ultimate character barometer is Lily. She absolutely loathed James in their fifth year. However, they ended up married.
I am basing my opinion on the reaction to his death and Lily's just after it had occurred from McGonagol who was genuinely grieved at the deaths. I also don't see what was so bad about James' behaviour. We don't know that he was running the grounds after he was made Head Boy. I would have thought after the Shack incident with Sirius and Snape, Dumbledore would be keeping a sharper eye out for that kind of behaviour. I also thought that the little prequel showed him in a pretty good light. Taking out the DE's and having a good time doing it. I'm not saying that he was an angel, far from it, but I don't think he should be condemned for being a fool at 15 either.

I think some fans feel unease because James and Sirius left Muggles to deal with unconscious DE's (if they were DE's and not Ministry officials or someone else?), who don't like Muggles and likely to be unhappy when they wake up. The Muggle policemen have no idea what these people are capable of.
I think the prequel does indeed show a great strong, loyal friendship between James and Sirius, certainly a zest for adventure and fun.
