FROG AND WOMBAT A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1998 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ***
1998 is shaping up to be the year when girls and young women hit the big time as the heroines of kids' movies. Young females have played strong leading parts in movies as diverse as MADELINE, EVER AFTER, MULAN, PAULIE and, my personal favorite, THE PARENT TRAP. To this list can now be added FROG AND WOMBAT, a delightful picture about some sixth grade girls hot on the trail of a "mystery."
Produced and filmed nearby in Santa Cruz, California, the film is in limited distribution around the country now. Written and directed by Laurie Agard, the film stays firmly in the realm of the delightfully silly kids' movie until the end, which would probably earn it a PG or PG-13 rating for mild violence. (The film isn't rated.) Although it is a good picture without the ending twist, it is stronger for it.
It all starts when the new junior high school principal, Larry Struble, played by veteran actor Ronny Cox, moves into town. Allison Parker and Jane Walker, played by new film actresses Katie Stuart and Emily Lipoma, are best buddies who keep a close eye on the goings on in their neighborhood, always on the lookout for anything suspicious. Allison, who talks constantly from her bedroom to Jane in hers on their walkie-talkies, insists that they use code names, lest someone discover their true identities. Allison wants to be referred to only as Frog and demands that Jane be known as Wombat.
Frog likes to wear army combat fatigues to increase her stealth factor. In contrast, Wombat's preferred outfit is a pink gown and slippers with huge dog faces on the toes.
After the bachelor principal introduces the girls to his niece, Nancy (Jessica Cushman), she "mysteriously" disappears. Wombat pooh-poohs Frog's whole propensity toward assuming the worst. The principal tells them that Nancy just went back home to New York, and Wombat is happy to accept that explanation as being the simple truth.
Soon Frog is assembling a host of "facts" to prove their principal's criminal behavior. His refrigerator is missing so he must have hidden Nancy's dead body in it. When he claims the refrigerator broke, Frog figures that his call to the Salvation Army to donate it was only because he realized that they were on to him. Other clues include finding pictures of an unknown woman in his briefcase and a wedding ring near the missing refrigerator. For these and other clues, Frog has to break into the principal's house and his office.
The two lead actresses, while still getting their acting legs, give sweet performances. One is as tough as the other is reluctant. The script is funny with the best jokes, about menstruation, being ones that girls of that age will certainly enjoy and identify with.
That Frog's single mother, Sydney, played by another veteran, Lindsay Wagner, expresses some interest in the principal only serves to redouble Frog's resolve to prove he's a murderer. Along the way, the two leads, aided by the new girl at school, Francesca (Briana Michaud), get into many adventures. The script surprisingly allows them to do some of the gross stuff usually reserved for the boys. The best of these female gross-out scenes has Frog and Francesca enjoying peanut butter from a large jar by dipping their big toes into the jar and then eating the peanut butter right off of their toes.
Indie films for kids are almost impossible to find. This rare one deserves seeking out. Perhaps we will be lucky, and it will inspire more such worthwhile and enjoyable productions.
FROG AND WOMBAT runs 1:30. It is not rated but would be PG or PG-13 for a scene of mild violence. The picture would be fine for kids around 7 and up.
My son Jeffrey, age 9, thought the movie was great and gave it *** 1/2. His favorite part was the way the girls communicated with walkie-talkies. He thought Frog was terrific.

It’s Friday again which means it’s time for another dose of React news.
📌 Add eslint-plugin-react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
The ESLint plugin for React hooks now has a new exhaustive-deps rule that verifies that the proper dependency array is specified. It also warns when assigning a to variable from an outside closure.
A new RFC outlines changes to React.createElement() that simplifies the object representation and will also allow forwardRef to be removed in the future.
🐞 Fix UMD Builds by Re-exporting the Scheduler Priorities
A recent regression caused the v16.8.2 release to break input elements when using the UMD build. This was fixed by properly exporting the Scheduler priorities.


Machine Translation
-
- Methods:
-
- Methods are statistical
- Uses parallel corpora
-
- Traditional MT:
- Traditional MT was very complex and included multiple disciplines coming in together.
The systems included many independent parts and required a lot of human engineering and experts.
The systems also scaled very poorly as the search problem was essentially exponential.
-
- Statistical Machine Translation Systems:
-
- Input:
- Source Language: \(f\)
- Target Language: \(e\)
- The Probabilistic Formulation:
- Input:
- \[\hat{e} = \mathrm{arg\,min}_e \: p(e \vert f) = \mathrm{arg\,min}_e \: p(f \vert e) p(e)\]
-
- The Translation Model \(p(f \vert e)\): trained on parallel corpus
- The Language Model \(p(e)\): trained on English only corpus
Abundant and free!
-
- Deep Learning Naive Approach:
- One way we can learn to translate is to learn to translate directly with an RNN.
-
- The Model:
- Encoder :
\(h_t = \phi(h_{t-1}, x_t) = f(W^{(hh)}h_{t-1} + W^{(hx)}x_t)\) - Decoder :
\(\begin{align} h_t & = \phi(h_{t-1}) = f(W^{(hh)}h_{t-1}) \\ y_t & = \text{softmax}(W^{(S)}h_t) \end{align}\) - Error :
\(\displaystyle{\max_\theta \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N \log p_\theta(y^{(n)}\vert x^{(n)})}\)Cross Entropy Error.
- Goal :
Minimize the Cross Entropy Error for all target words conditioned on source words
- Encoder :
- The Model:
-
- Drawbacks:
The problem of this approach lies in the fact that the last hidden layer needs to capture the entire sentence to be translated.
However, since we know that the RNN Gradient basically vanishes as the length of the sequence increases, the last hidden layer is usually only capable of capturing upto ~5 words.
- Drawbacks:
-
- Naive RNN Translation Model Extension:
-
- Train Different RNN weights for encoding and decoding
- Compute every hidden state in the decoder from the following concatenated vectors :
- Previous hidden state (standard)
- Last hidden vector of encoder \(c=h_T\)
- Previous predicted output word \(y_{t-1}\).
\(\implies h_{D, t} = \phi_D(h_{t-1}, c, y_{t-1})\)NOTE: Each input of \(\phi\) has its own linear transformation matrix.
- Train stacked/deep RNNs with multiple layers.
- Potentially train Bidirectional Encoder
- Train input sequence in reverser order for simpler optimization problem:
Instead of \(A\:B\:C \rightarrow X\:Y\) train with \(C\:B\:A \rightarrow X\:Y\) - Better Units (Main Improvement):
- Use more complex hidden unit computation in recurrence
- Use GRUs (Cho et al. 2014)
- Main Ideas:
- Keep around memories to capture long distance dependencies
- Allow error messages to flow at different strengths depending on the inputs
GRUs
-
- Gated Recurrent Units:
- Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) are a class of modified (Gated) RNNs that allow them to combat the vanishing gradient problem by allowing them to capture more information/long range connections about the past (memory) and decide how strong each signal is.
-
- Main Idea:
- Unlike standard RNNs which compute the hidden layer at the next time step directly first, GRUs computes two additional layers (gates):
Each with different weights
-
- Update Gate:
- \[z_t = \sigma(W^{(z)}x_t + U^{(z)}h_{t-1})\]
-
- Reset Gate:
- \[r_t = \sigma(W^{(r)}x_t + U^{(r)}h_{t-1})\]
- The Update Gate and Reset Gate computed, allow us to more directly influence/manipulate what information do we care about (and want to store/keep) and what content we can ignore.
We can view the actions of these gates from their respecting equations as: -
- New Memory Content:
at each hidden layer at a given time step, we compute some new memory content,
if the reset gate \(= ~0\), then this ignores previous memory, and only stores the new word information.
- New Memory Content:
- \[\tilde{h}_t = \tanh(Wx_t + r_t \odot Uh_{t-1})\]
-
- Final Memory:
the actual memory at a time step \(t\), combines the Current and Previous time steps,
if the update gate \(= ~0\), then this, again, ignores the newly computed memory content, and keeps the old memory it possessed.
- Final Memory:
- \[h_t = z_t \odot h_{t-1} + (1-z_t) \odot \tilde{h}_t\]
Long Short-Term Memory
-
- LSTM:
- The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Network is a special case of the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that uses special gated units (a.k.a LSTM units) as building blocks for the layers of the RNN.
-
- Architecture:
- The LSTM, usually, has four gates:
-
- Input Gate: The input gate determines how much does the current input vector (current cell) matters
- \[i_t = \sigma(W^{(i)}x_t + U^{(i)}h_{t-1})\]
-
- Forget Gate: Determines how much of the past memory, that we have kept, is still needed
- \[i_t = \sigma(W^{(i)}x_t + U^{(i)}h_{t-1})\]
-
- Output Gate: Determines how much of the current cell matters for our current prediction (i.e. passed to the sigmoid)
- \[i_t = \sigma(W^{(i)}x_t + U^{(i)}h_{t-1})\]
-
- Memory Cell: The memory cell is the cell that contains the short-term memory collected from each input
- \[\begin{align} \tilde{c}_t & = \tanh(W^{(c)}x_t + U^{(c)}h_{t-1}) & \text{New Memory} \\ c_t & = f_t \odot c_{t-1} + i_t \odot \tilde{c}_t & \text{Final Memory} \end{align}\]
- The Final Hidden State is calculated as follows:
- \[h_t = o_t \odot \sigma(c_t)\]
-
- Properties:
-
- Syntactic Invariance:
When one projects down the vectors from the last time step hidden layer (with PCA), one can observe the spatial localization of syntacticly-similar sentences
- Syntactic Invariance:
Neural Machine Translation (NMT)
-
- NMT:
- NMT is an approach to machine translation that uses a large artificial neural network to predict the likelihood of a sequence of words, typically modeling entire sentences in a single integrated model.
-
- Architecture:
- The approach uses an Encoder-Decoder architecture.
- NMT models can be seen as a special case of language models.
In other words, they can be seen as Conditional Recurrent Language Model; a language model that has been conditioned on the calculated encoded vector representation of the sentence.
-
- Modern Sequence Models for NMT:
-
- Issues of NMT:
-
- Predicting Unseen Words:
The NMT model is very vulnerable when presented with a word that it has never seen during training (e.g. a new name).
In-fact, the model might not even be able to place the (translated) unseen word correctly in the (translated) sentence. - Solution:
- A possible solution is to apply character-based translation, instead of word-based, however, this approach makes for very long sequences and the computation becomes infeasible.
- The (current) proposed approach is to use a Mixture Model of Softmax and Pointers
Pointer-sentinel Model
- Predicting Unseen Words:
-
- The Big Wins of NMT:
-
- End-to-End Training: All parameters are simultaneously optimized to minimize a loss function on the networks output
- Distributed Representations Share Strength: Better exploitation of word and phrase similarities
- Better Exploitation of Context: NMT can use a much bigger context - both source and partial target text - to translate more accurately
- More Fluent Text Generation: Deep Learning text generation is much higher quality
-
- (GNMT) Google’s Multilingual Neural Machine Translation System - Zero shot Translation:
-
- Multilingual NMT Approaches:
-
- Google’s Approach:
Add an Artificial Token at the beginning of the input sentence to indicate the target language.

The internet is the defining technology of our time. Its capabilities make it possible for information to spread across the globe in a matter of seconds and has revolutionized modern communication. It’s worth noting the Internet has not always been around and needed to be developed to what we use today.
The thought of the internet was envisioned by a psychologist professor at MIT named J. C. R. Licklider. His visions that computers would allow people to communicate better which in turn would allow them to aid in the sharing of information among people. The main problem that arose with a network of computers sending information was how such a network would operate. Leonard Kleinrock came up with the idea for packet queueing and distributed routing and switching which led to “hot potato” routing, also known as packet switching.
The only functioning networks at the time were telephone networks but they had an achilles heel which arose if the link was broken, the call would be ended and no information would get to the endpoint after the link had been severed. Packet switching essentially solved the problem since it allowed messages to still be able to reach the endpoint even if certain links were broken.
The idea of creating a network had many possible versions although finding the most effective way was the issue. Larry Roberts, an American engineer who had built the world’s first experimental connection between two computers was recruited for the job. Roberts was not certain how to develop the network since one would essentially have to program computers how to interact with each other which was highly inefficient, this led him to the idea where the use of specialized computers to sit on the network and be the gateways to interface.
These gateways were called interface message processors or IMPs. IMPs made it possible to expand a network since they would be a universal commonality so to set up a new computer on the network one would just need to have it communicate with their designated IMP instead of other computers. These IMPs became the foundation of the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET). The ARPANET was a tool developed for defense research and was restricted universities and think tanks and involved in defense research. In April 1971, the ARPANET had eight-teen mainframe computers connected to the network.
At first the uses of the ARPANET involved transferring data files among its members, but then a killer app had been developed which expanded its uses dramatically which was email. Computer networks exploded in popularity after the ARPAnet demo. Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs) started showing up inside companies and campuses.
The rise of these networks led to the problem where the networks would only be secluded to themselves and had no ability to access any exterior networks. This led to the need of a Standardization of networks "language" came with TCP IP protocol and gateways allowed for different networks to interface with each other. The main reason networks with gateways work at all was the TCP/IP protocol, it was this and other communalities of shared knowledge which made it possible to convey information to others.
A major stimulant for the internet explosive growth at the time was the advancement in electronics which brought mainframe computers into the homes and brought computer power down to the size of a desktop PC. Another stimulant was on June 4th, 1992 the internet became public instead of government owned and Bernese Lee created the World Wide Web which made it easier for your average person to browse the internet.
In 1992, the world wide web consisted of 50 pages and in 1993 Netscape developed the world’s first breakthrough browser which made browsing the internet even easier. The world wide web and the browser have become the foundation of the user-friendly internet that we use today.

Eradicated marijuana measured in tons
ANZA (INT) - Only one arrest resulted in the latest law enforcement action against marijuana growers in the Anza area.
Nine search warrants were served Monday. Nearly 5,000 plants were eradicated and 740 pounds of processed marijuana was hauled away. That added up to four tons.
Jailed on suspicion of cultivating marijuana was Devin Adams, 29, of Anza.
Eight firearms were also seized.
Marijuana eradication teams have been active in Riverside County.

There was a man who had three sons, the youngest of whom was considered very silly, and everybody used to mock him and make fun of him. The eldest son wanted to go and cut wood in the forest, and before he left home his mother prepared beautiful pancakes and a bottle of wine for him to take with him, so that he might not suffer from hunger or thirst.

But the clever son replied: “What, give you my cake and my wine! Why, if I did, I should have none for myself. Not I, indeed, so take yourself off!” and he left the man standing and went on.
The young man began cutting down a tree, but it was not long before he made a false stroke: the axe slipped and cut his arm so badly that he was obliged to go home and have it bound up. Now, this false stroke was caused by the little gray old man.
 As he entered the wood the same little old man met him, and begged for a piece of cake and a drop of wine. But the second son answered rudely: “What I might give to you I shall want myself, so be off.”
Then he left the little old man standing in the road, and walked on. His punishment soon came; he had scarcely given two strokes on a tree with his axe, when he hit his leg such a terrible blow that he was obliged to limp home in great pain.

But his father said: “No, your brothers have been hurt already, and it would be worse for you, who don’t understand wood-cutting.”
The boy, however, begged so hard to be allowed to go that his father said: “There, get along with you; you will buy your experience very dearly, I expect.”
His mother, however, gave him a cake which had been made with water and baked in the ashes, and a bottle of sour beer.
When he reached the wood the very same little old man met him, and after greeting him kindly, said: “Give me a little of your cake and a drop from your bottle, for I am very hungry and thirsty.”
“Oh,” replied the simple youth, “I have only a cake, which has been baked in the ashes, and some sour beer; but you are welcome to a share of it.
So they seated themselves, and, lo and behold, when the youth opened his basket, the cake had been turned into a beautiful cake, and the sour beer into wine. After they had eaten and drank enough, the little old man said: “Because you have been kind-hearted, and shared your dinner with me, I will make you in future lucky in all you undertake. There stands an old tree; cut it down, and you will find something good at the root.”
Then the old man said “Farewell,” and left him.
The youth set to work, and very soon succeeded in felling the tree, when he found sitting at the roots a goose, whose feathers were of pure gold. He took it up, and, instead of going home, carried it with him to an inn at a little distance, where he intended to pass the night.
The landlord had three daughters, who looked at the goose with envious eyes. They had never seen such a wonderful bird, and longed to have at least one of its feathers. “Ah,” thought the eldest, “I shall soon have an opportunity to pluck one of them;” and so it happened, for not long after the young man left the room. She instantly went up to the bird and took hold of its wing, but as she did so, the finger and thumb remained and stuck fast. In a short time after the second sister came in with the full expectation of gaining a golden feather, but as she touched her sister to move her from the bird, her hand stuck fast to her sister’s dress, and neither of them could free herself. At last, in came the third sister with the same intention. “Keep away, keep away!” screamed the other two; “in heaven’s name keep away!”
But she could not imagine why she should keep away. If they were near the golden bird, why should not she be there? So she made a spring forward and touched her second sister, and immediately she also was made a prisoner, and in this position they were obliged to remain by the goose all night.
In the morning the young man came in, took the goose on his arm, and went away without troubling himself about the three girls, who were following close behind him. And as he walked quickly, they were obliged to run one behind the other, left or right of him, just as he was inclined to go.
In the middle of a field they were met by the parson of the parish, who looked with wonder at the procession as it came near him. “Shame on you!” he cried out. “What are you about, you bold-faced hussies, running after a young man in that way through the fields? Go home, all of you.”
He placed his hand on the youngest to pull her back, but the moment he touched her he also became fixed, and was obliged to follow and run like the rest. In a few minutes the clerk met them, and when he saw the parson running after the girls, he wondered greatly, and cried out, “Halloa, master parson, where are you running in such haste? Have you forgotten that there is a christening to-day?” And as the procession did not stop, he ran after it, and seized the parson’s gown.
In a moment he found that his hand was fixed, and he also had to run like the rest. And now there were five trotting along, one behind the other. Presently two peasants came by with their sickles from the field. The parson called out to them, and begged them to come and release him and the clerk. Hardly had they touched the clerk when they also stuck fast as the others, and the simpleton with his golden goose travelled with the seven.
After awhile they came to a city in which reigned a king who had a daughter of such a melancholy disposition that no one could make her laugh; therefore he issued a decree that whoever would make the princess laugh should have her in marriage.
Now, when the simple youth heard this, he ran before her, and the whole seven trotted after him. The sight was so ridiculous that the moment the princess saw it she burst into a violent fit of laughter and they thought she would never leave off.
After this, the youth went to the king, and demanded his daughter in marriage, according to the king’s decree; but his majesty did not quite like to have the young man for a son-in-law, so he said that, before he could consent to the marriage, the youth must bring him a man who could drink all the wine in the king’s cellar.
The simpleton went into the forest, for he thought, “If anyone can help me, it is the little gray man.” When he arrived at the spot where he had cut down the tree, there stood a man with a very miserable face.
The youth asked him why he looked so sorrowful.
“Oh,” he exclaimed, “I suffer such dreadful thirst that nothing seems able to quench it; and cold water I cannot endure. I have emptied a cask of wine already, but it was just like a drop of water on a hot stone.”
“I can help you,” cried the young man; “come with me, and you shall have your fill, I promise you.”
Upon this he led the man into the king’s cellar, where he opened the casks one after another, and drank and drank till his back ached; and before the day closed he had quite emptied the king’s cellar.
Again the young man asked for his bride, but the king was annoyed at the thought of giving his daughter to such a common fellow, and to get rid of him he made another condition. He said that no man should have his daughter who could not find someone able to eat up a whole mountain of bread.
Away went the simpleton to the forest as before, and there in the same place sat a man binding himself round tightly with a belt, and making the most horrible faces. As the youth approached, he cried, “I have eaten a whole ovenfull of rolls, but it has not satisfied me a bit; I am as hungry as ever, and my stomach feels so empty that I am obliged to bind it round tightly, or I should die of hunger.”
The simpleton could hardly contain himself for joy when he heard this. “Get up,” he exclaimed, “and come with me, and I will give you plenty to eat, I’ll warrant.”
So he led him to the king’s court, where his majesty had ordered all the flour in the kingdom to be made into bread, and piled up in a huge mountain. The hungry man placed himself before the bread, and began to eat, and before evening the whole pile had disappeared.
Then the simpleton went a third time to the king, and asked for his bride, but the king made several excuses, and at last said that if he could bring him a ship that would travel as well by land as by water, then he should, without any further conditions, marry his daughter.
The youth went at once straight to the forest, and saw the same old gray man to whom he had given his cake. “Ah,” he said, as the youth approached, “it was I who sent the men to eat and drink, and I will also give you a ship that can travel by land or by sea, because when you thought I was poor you were kind-hearted, and gave me food and drink.”
The youth took the ship, and when the king saw it he was quite surprised; but he could not any longer refuse to give him his daughter in marriage. The wedding was celebrated with great pomp, and after the king’s death the simple wood-cutter inherited the whole kingdom, and lived happily with his wife.

It began with an elaborate idea of a dependency analyzer, boiled down to something much simpler, and turned into Make that weekend.
--Stuart Feldman
See, my laptop currently has only one small functioning partition,
so I can't install the whole developer tools suite onto it.
I was working on some Java code on the laptop.
The project includes a Makefile
, but I had to
compile by hand on the laptop.
I noticed the basic Mac OS X install includes gcc
,
javac
, jar
, and java
,
but not make
(nor ant
nor SCons
).
That's when it occurred to me:
"Gee, I don't do anything really...complicated with make
..."
So I spent nine hours on Saturday writing the gist of
make
in Python.
At that point myke
did all the basic
stuff I use make
for in my own work.
Sunday I spent another nine hours futzing.
The flip side of diminishing returns is that the first 2% of a project
gives you an inflated opinion of yourself.
Yet another make-maker.
I've since found that although gnumake
is compiled from about 70 times as many
source lines and bytes as myke
, its compiled binary is only
about 300K bytes, and it does run when copied to my laptop
(no missing or incompatible libraries). So myke
has been a
diversion from what I was doing on Friday.
I modeled myke
on make
's behavior,
rather than documentation or any opinions of my own.
It was nice having so few design questions or decisions to make.
One mystery is the difference between "nothing to be done for
'all'," and "target 'all' is up-to-date." The latter seems to happen when
there were rules to run, but make
didn't echo any of them to the
terminal. You can trigger this by creating a rule with a line
beginning with a tab but otherwise blank. myke
doesn't
go for that.
I liked working on a program called "myke
." For instance there are
"raise MykeException" statements, and comments like "myke
counts on it."
myke is crazy like a fox, but not quite the character.myke uses McGuffin-based parsing.myke was inside of make ,
looking for a way out.myke searches for significant whitespace. |
Here's the code to download and "inline" (take two they're small):

Core52 is not designed for the E_ALL error reporting level. On startup, Core52 sets the following PHP settings:
error_reporting
=> E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE
ASSERT_ACTIVE
=> 0
track_errors
=> On
Core52 also defines its own error handler via set_exception_handler()
and set_error_handler()
. Do not override these, see the “Defining Custom Error Handlers” section below.
PHP5 Exceptions are the preferred way to indicate an error in Core52 applications. However, non-fatal PHP errors are also caught by Core52 error reporting functionality (PHP errors are translated to exceptions via ErrorException
).
Where possible, use throw new Exception
instead of trigger_error()
in your application code.
The following Exceptions are defined in Core52 (of course, you are free to add your own):
CoreException
– something went wrong in the core of the frameworkFatalErrorException
– unrecoverable fatal errorDatabaseException
– database query or connection errorPageNotFoundException
– triggers an HTTP 404 (automatically thrown if no output is shown)AutoClassLoaderException
– autoloader could not find class filePHP’s Standard Public Library also provides some predefined exceptions that you can take advantage of.
For custom error handlers, use core_set_exception_handler()
and core_unset_exception_handler()
to set and unset custom error handlers:
# push a new exception handler onto the stack # if $callback is not callable, it will throw an Exception core_set_exception_handler($callback); # unset a specific exception handler core_unset_exception_handler($callback); # pop the last exception handler off the stack core_unset_exception_handler();
In production mode, you don’t want to show exception error messages and backtraces for both user experience reasons and for security.
Core52 can email error reports to one or multiple email addresses, along with $_GET, $_POST, and Session data. To enable this, simply initialize the Mailer object and set the EMAIL_DEBUG_RCPT setting in your auth file:
# error report email address (leave blank unless you're in production) # you can set an array of email addresses if you need the report sent to multiple locations Config::set('EMAIL_DEBUG_RCPT', 'administrator@your-app-name.com'); # configure e-mail Mailer::Initialize(array( 'from' =><EMAIL_ADDRESS>'from_name' => 'Your App Name', 'word_wrap' => 75, #'smtp' => TRUE, #'smtp_host' => 'smtp.your-app-name.com', #'smtp_port' => 25, #'smtp_user' =><EMAIL_ADDRESS>#'smtp_pass' => '<password>', #'smtp_timeout' => '10', ));
