Merit Badge Effect

"The other benefit of the logbook is the Merit Badge Effect. People seem to have a chipmunk-like hoarding instinct, whereby once they start collecting something, whether it be Scout merit badges, bottle caps, or hours worked on a thesis, they want more and more. The secret is to turn your hours into a collection. It sounds silly, but it may work for you. After you've been collecting hours for a few days, you'll start thinking, 'I earned ten hours yesterday. Wonder if i can get eleven today?'" - Getting What You Came For, RL Peters.

stability of the steepest decent method.

Automatic initialization

The database initialization step is not absolutely necessary. For instance, in the HSQL-based examples early in the book, we configure Seam to automatically create table schema based on the entity bean annotations (see last section in this chapter). We then place an import.sql file in the EJB3 JAR file. The SQL INSERT statements in the import.sql file are automatically executed when the application is deployed.

Oops. I spelled it Chewy in a previous post.
At least I didn't spell: Chuy. What a childhood friend prefered to be called, even though his name was Jesus. Yes, he was Latino.
