Bite Into Gooey Goodness as These Hotels Celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month
Yes, ladies and gentlemen — April is National Grilled Cheese Month (who's coming up with this stuff?).
Some hotels have embraced the concept as a means to reinvent this American classic, some even going so far as to create over-the-top versions of what's, already, a delectable comfort food.
The Seagate Hotel & Spa, for instance, is celebrating the month by offering a new specialty grilled cheese available at the hotel's Beach Club. Are you ready for it? The Lobster & Pork Belly Pimento Grilled Cheese Sandwich, created by Chef Chris Schaefer, features pickled green tomato on Texas toast.
Executive Chef Gabriel Ask of Parq Bar at Montage Beverly Hills serves up a more traditional Brioche and Aged English Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwich, and kids staying at Gramercy Park Hotel can try their own version with brioche by having an American or Gruyere on Brioche Grilled Cheese Sandwich with French Fries from the Room Service menu.
And then there's the Grilled Mac 'n Cheese at Lake Arrowhead Resort & Spa, created by Sous Chef Chris Salazar, which combines homemade mac 'n cheese, ham, grilled balsamic tomato and guacamole on grilled sourdough bread.
See what Loews Hotels are doing for National Grilled Cheese Month after the break!

Before and After: The Ritz-Carlton Naples Reinvents Itself Completely
We love hotel renovations nearly just as much as we love new hotels. But what we really love about hotel renovations is seeing the transformation that happens when an old, tired and lackluster room gets a modern makeover and transforms into new, spiffed-up, stylish guest room. Or put more simply, we love comparing the Before and After.
When we visited the The Ritz-Carlton Naples in Florida as a tween back in the early 90s, we're pretty sure the rooms looked similar to what you see above. Fortunately, the hotel has undergone a multi-million dollar makeover that will impress everyone, even those critical tweens.
Keep reading to see how the resort looks after the renovations!

Holiday Hotel Spa-aahhh Treatments
Omni Bedford Springs
While hotel holiday decorations are pretty to look at, they don't do much to relax you during the holiday season, which let's be honest--can be crazy stressful with all the parties, the shopping, the relatives. So if you need a breather, we've put together a list (and we're checking it twice) of hotel spas across the US who have put together some holiday-themed treatments that you can give to yourself because, contrary to popular belief, sometimes it is better to receive than to give.
The Spa at Rancho Bernardo Inn, San Diego normally uses seasonal ingredients and this winter is no exception. From December through January you can indulge in the Chocolate Candied Orange Treatment, and indulge you will! This treatment starts with a hazelnut and orange scrub; then comes a chocolate comfrey wrap and cinnamon scalp treatment; an Acai butter massage follows, as does a mulled cider drink. The spa then sends you on your way with a take home recipe for hazelnut and sea salt shortbread cookies. The cost for this extravagance is $175.
At Lake Arrowhead Resort's Spa of the Pines (an Autograph Collection hotel) there is a new holiday-themed menu of treatments. The resort is offering a hot stone Holiday Pedicure, a Holiday Swedish Massage using their own special holiday-scented oil (cloves and cinnamon), and a Holiday-Scented Body Scrub using an organic vanilla and brown sugar scrub followed by a rich body cream. For the most bang for your buck go for the Holiday Duo: the body scrub followed by the massage for $165.
L'Auberge de Sedona is offering guests a Warming Gingerbread Sugar Body Scrub and Gingerbread Wrap that are good enough to eat. Using organic sugar and warming ginger oil there are also notes of cinnamon and orange. To tempt you further, we'll just tell you that after the scrub, the body butter is applied to your skin, you're wrapped in warm blankets and receive either a scalp and neck massage or a foot massage. You can just lie back and hear the heavenly choir. The scrub and wrap are $145 for both treatments.

Thanks to a Lost Stuffed Giraffe, Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island Earns Customers For Life
We've all had horror stories when it comes to staying in a hotel, especially if we just happened to forget something in the room. While some might think that their article is lost forever, that's not always the case. Here's a story in great customer service by a hotel, restoring our faith in not only hotel staff far and wide, but humankind on a whole. Prepare to have your heart warmed.
The whole situation went down when the Hurn family decided to spend their vacation at Florida's Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island. Upon returning home after a few days soaking up the sun, living in luxury and scoring some rest and relaxation, their 8-year old son realized he had left his stuffed toy giraffe, Joshie, back at the resort.
Like any good father would do to buy some time, Chris Hurn told his son that the toy needed some "extra vacation time and would be home soon". He then called the hotel with the hopes that Joshie was sitting in a lost-and-found box somewhere in the backroom. To much surprise, Ritz-Carlton's staff informed him that Joshie was safe and sound and offered to send the plush animal home free of charge.

Something We Never Thought We'd See: Free WiFi at a Hard Rock Hotel
While Hard Rock Hotels might be the perfect place to party, it's not a brand that we usually associate with free WiFi. Typically, it's an additional charge or folded into a resort fee.
But lo and behold, when we signed on to the network at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, this is what greeted us:
Hard Rock Unplugged: Free Wireless Internet Access for Our Guests
Party on! For us, working nerds anyways.
In the mood for a quickie tonight at the Seminole Hard Rock? The property is actually sold out this weekend (weekends are typically sold-out at this resort.) But a deluxe room is available on Monday for $189 a night and there's no resort fee. Rocking.
We'll have more on the other rock star touches at the Seminole Hard Rock for you next week.

Ok, so technically, Mickey didn't make an appearance in this video of the under-construction Four Seasons Orlando at Walt Disney World, but we would have appreciated the reference (if slightly on-the-nose) had the iconic character popped up.
Rather, it is Thomas Steinhauer, Regional Vice President and General Manager of the hotel, who dons his hard hat and walks you through the 434-room resort – the largest Four Seasons resort in the world – as it progresses towards a summer 2014 opening.

The Alfond: A Non-Disney Focused Hotel, Comes To Orlando Area
For many Winter Park Florida doesn't ring a bell on the Google map meter. In the publishing industry, it's home to the well-known Bonnier Company and as of a week ago, the new Alfond Inn, a 112-room property part of the Preferred Boutique Hotel portfolio.
In all honesty, the Alfond Inn is aware it may be a bit of a hard-sell for those who are Orlando bound, especially those who have plans on hitting the theme parks. But they are counting on attracting a primarily adult market content with their location 15 minutes from downtown Orlando and 30 minutes from Walt Disney World and Orlando International Airport. Anyone who has driven in this area knows it's a hop-skip to anywhere you want to go.
This isn't some towering, overwhelming kiddified resort, so keep that in mind. Instead, you'll find that this Spanish Mediterranean revival style inn built with a $12.5 million grant procured by the owners of the co-ed liberal arts Rollins College, fosters an environment of rest and relaxation--welcome after a day at SeaWorld, perhaps? It's a 20th-Century throwback to the Old South with arches, columns, wrought iron and flowering trellises.

The Hilton Fort Lauderdale Now Has Wind Turbines On Its Roof
Despite the fact that the new wind turbines being installed on the roof of the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort will produce a very small percentage of the hotel's power, Randy Gaines, Hilton's VP of Engineering, Housekeeping and Laundry Operations, thinks it's a huge step in the right direction.
"The turbines will help us visualize the hotel as a place to be conscious of energy use," Gaines told the South Florida Business Journal. "It's not going to be a big percentage of the hotel power, but it will help to highlight the importance of conserving electricity, and to start dialogue."
The symbolism of the six turbines is definitely a welcome sight for the hotel industry, a move that speaks volumes in terms of Hilton's determination to be environmentally friendly. Considering the appearance of the turbines has always been a source of conflict when it comes to wind energy, the fact that Hilton is putting them on its roof sends a strong message. Not to be overly dramatic, but it shows the industry is capable of making decisions based on something a little less shallow.

New EB Hotel Miami Targets Business Travelers
It's the name of the game--one hotel closes, and another opens. That's the case with the Venezuelan-based EuroBuilding Hotels Group which has entered the North American market with its first U.S. property, the new EB Hotel Miami. With a modest $38 million bankroll, they quietly opened in June.
Just five minutes from Miami International Airport, the 133-room boutique spot is primarily targeting the upscale business traveler, whom they'll pick up (and return) to MIA via a courtesy van.
Most of the bells and whistles at the EB are of the tech variety, with a 24-hour business center and three private conference rooms, each with video-conferencing capabilities. One can get ready for any meeting by using the center's free copier, printer, scanner and fax machines (yes, people still fax documents, folks). Need to send out a package? There's shipping and receiving services too. And if you've got computer issues, the on-site Information Technology Concierge can help you out. Of course, the hi-speed WiFi is free throughout the hotel.
Rooms are sleek and soundproofed, with double-glazed windows to keep the noise from the nearby runway to a minimum, and to ensure a good nights sleep, since this is hardly in a party-central part of town. But #avgeeks will love the views as many rooms will give you front-and-center look at the planes taking off into the sky.
Should you have some down time there's a 24-hour fitness center, but most guests will take the opportunity to head to South Beach, which is less than 20 minutes away by taxi, for some surf and sand.
Rates begin at $138 per night until August 31st as part of the grand opening special.

A Year Away, Four Seasons Disney Has Its First Opening Rates
Well, color us surprised. Four Seasons Orlando at Walt Disney World might still be a year away from opening, but hot on the heels of its GM appointment, the apparent interest in the 434-room resort is already so significant that a first series of rates for meetings and groups has been released. Talk about planning ahead.
We'll get to those rates in a second, but alongside there's an indication what us normal people will be paying to live it up with Mickey. Unfortunately, the same seems to hold true here as it does for Disney itself these days: bring your wallet. Rooms will start at $595 in September 2014, going up to $645 from October onwards. Family packages aside, with a room and one-day admission for four, you're looking at a grand a day just like that. Eeeek.

A Mini Guide To Miami Hotels' $5 Happy Hours
Now that we know rooftop and terrace season is alive and pippin', we'd be remiss if we didn't address one thing--these booze-fueled outdoor antics can get pricey. It seems the higher the floor the bar's located, the more expensive the drink!
That's why we decided to head south to that delicious city called Miami where you can find a variety of hotspots showcasing happy hours for a song. Some are rooftop situations, others aren't. The point is you can have a good time without breaking the bank.
We urge other hoteliers to figure out a way to emulate these four fantastic bars.
EPIC Hotel:
This Biscayne Blvd hotel's Area 51 rooftop terrace has a nightly "Veuve on the Clock" Happy Hour beginning at 5pm with $5 champagne by the glass until 6pm. The flute cost raises by just one dollar until 8pm. There's also a new menu of small bites, grilled fare, and curated cocktails to celebrate summer. To make those bubbles even more fun to sip, there's a DJ mixing for the crowd from Wednesdays through Saturdays from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Great for the afterwork crowd and those who can't manage to hang until midnight when most Miami clubs get started.

East Africa's first modern art auction includes bargains starting at $1,140
NAIROBI, Kenya—Kenya is set to host its first ever modern and contemporary art auction next week, amid a surge in global interest in African art.
The retrospective, to be held on Nov. 5, will span the best work produced by artists from across East Africa over the last 40-plus years. Fiona Fox, co-founder and director of Circle Art Agency, which was established to help cultivate the contemporary art market in East Africa, says that while the genre has been gaining in popularity and status, it lags behind art from West and South Africa and is relatively unknown internationally.
"Our primary aim is to grow the local market," says Fox, who helped to set up the Tate's African arts acquisition committee two years ago. "There is no platform in the region to sell work on the secondary market currently."
The auction comes amid growing international awareness of and appetite for art from the continent. Earlier this year, sales of African art at Bonhams, the London-based auction house, topped the £1 million ($1.6 million) mark, while London's Somerset House hosted the 1:54, the city's inaugural contemporary African art fair. Online auctioneer, the Auction Room, launched its first sale of African art last week, with estimates for the work ranging from £1,000 to £75,000.

Stater Bros. Meat: What the Hell Happened???
When we were young in the greater Inland Empire area, we were told of Stater Bros., "It's the Meat that Made Us Famous". Our family would get nothing but Stater Bros. meat.
Well, for the last several years, when we get their meat, it is HORRIBLE. Tough, flavorless--
Tonight, we got a couple of T-Bones in one of their Colton stores.
Well, I'm just about flossing my teeth with this stuff-EEEK!!
I know you 'hounds know what's going on with their meat - what's happening? Or what's happened?
And where can I get better, more tender, flavorful meat?
(Full disclosure: We have very little money, and we are on a strict budget.)
frank's wholesale meat in san bernadino?
you can also look for a mexican carniceria or halal meat market in your area.
Stater Bros. has always used the lowest grades of meat, select.
Also, I've noticed when Foster Farms chicken, which are suppose to be fresh,never frozen, is one sale, the chickens are frozen and/or thawed.
This doesn't happen at Albertson's or Vons or Ralph's.
Any Asian or Mexican market will have better meat for cheaper. Just be aware that cuts are different.
I never shopped at Stater Bros., but I do remember those commercials. in the 70s and 80s.
I don't know how Stater Bros. prices its meat, but I do know that Costco actually has pretty good meat (choice, some prime) at prices well below what you'll find at a premium upscale supermarket like Gelson's or Whole Foods. Of course, you can't just buy one steak or one pound of ground beef, but if you're serving enough people (or have space in your freezer) it's worth checking out.
How much were the T-bones from Stater Bros.?
I also second the recommendations for carnicerias/Asian mkts.
re: Jack Flash
The T-bones were on sale for $4.47 per pound.
There's a Restaurant Depot in Colton. Every RD has good meat at wholesale prices just in large, cryovac pacs for restaurant use. You just have to buy a lot at one time, portion & freeze sort of thing.
RD is wholesale only. If you have any kind of business license (not just in the food service industry), or work for a nonprofit and can bring the nonprofit's tax ID card, then you can get a free membership. There may be other credentials they'll accept for a membership card, but call and ask. Don't know if that works for you, but that's all I can suggest in Colton. Don't really know the area well.

Rating: 4/5Good but not perfect
This review is from: Loaded Gear GX-300 Tactical Sling Backpack
Pros: First I have to say that this bag is the perfect size to use as a carry on bag on a plane. It fit under the seat and was great to travel with. I bought it for a trip and it performed flawlessly until I got home. I was trying to unzip it and one of the zippers broke in my hand. Barska is going to warranty it but their process isn't the best, in comparison to some others I have used in the past.
Cons: Cheap zipper's

Hi all
I'm trying to get the media uploader to work with a .stl file extension. The plan is to intercept the file after the uploader is triggered from the wordpress media center, run a conversion script and then pass the resulting browser-renderable format (x3dom if you're interested) to the media center for storage (as it would for a simple png). The problem I'm having is in trying to intercept the file from the uploader, leading to the following questions.
1. Can someone demonstrate the general process of how wordpress handles media uploads. Include any actions and filters that are vital to a successful upload of that particular media.
2. Is there a hook/filter that can also allow me to customize how it's stored in the file system? That would also be nice.
3. The following are filters that seem to be of use but are not doing exactly what I need:
//add_filter( 'media_upload_tabs', 'media_upload_tabs'); //hide media tabs
//add_filter( 'media_send_to_editor', 'media_send_to_editor' ); //to modified the string send by javascript
//add_filter( 'media_upload_form_url', 'media_upload_form_url' ); //used to send new parameter
4. The best option is below but not sure exactly how to leverage it?
* This handles the file upload POST itself, creating the attachment post.
* @since 2.5.0
* @param string $file_id Index into the {@link $_FILES} array of the upload
* @param int $post_id The post ID the media is associated with
* @param array $post_data allows you to overwrite some of the attachment
* @param array $overrides allows you to override the {@link wp_handle_upload()} behavior
* @return int the ID of the attachment
function media_handle_upload($file_id, $post_id, $post_data = array(), $overrides = array( 'test_form' => false )) {

1.4 Highlevel features overview
1.4.1 Supported features
- Application Versioning allows multiple versions of the same application to exist in a GlassFish domain. It provides the developer and the administrator extensions to the relevant existing tools and commands to deploy, view, and manage multiple versions of applications.
- At most one version of an application may be enabled on any target. To the extent possible, implement the changes to the exposed interfaces so that the same changes could be used as-is or with minimal revision to support runtime versioning.
- Explicit versioning: the user will experience the v2 behavior for all application operations he or she invokes without specifying a version.
- Unlimited number of versions of an application: the user may create, aside from limitations in disk space for storing the application and its configuration information.
- Any published interface that supports the application operations that are affected by application versioning (e.g., deploy, undeploy, enable, disable, create/delete-app-ref, get- client-stubs) will support application versioning. This includes the CLI, the GUI, ant tasks, and the callable DeploymentFacility.
1.4.2 Restricted features
- Using more than one in-place directory deployed applications deployed from the same directory is ambiguous. In order to introduce a new behavior of --force option for in-place deployments, GlassFish will reject deployments of already used directories and display warnings about the --force option use. This behavior is consistent with the regular cases as using --force=true will undeploy the currently deployed application before the new deployment. For instance it will be possible to redeploy in-place directory deployed applications by using --force=true.
- Because OSGi already has its own versioning system, GlassFish will ignore the version information provided with the name option but will let the deployment go through. In the case where users are using the GlassFish versioning with an OSGI bundle, some warnings will be printed out to inform them that the version information they provides will be ignored.
1.4.3 Unsupported features
- Automatic versioning, in which users specify no version information but GlassFish automatically supplies successive automatically-generated version identifiers in response to successive deployments of an application.
- Runtime versioning, in which multiple versions of an application can be enabled on a single target. This would require added runtime support in the containers and in naming which is not needed for application versioning alone.
1.5 Basic versioning interest
The versioning system described in this document is a basic feature. Eventually we want to provide runtime versioning where more than one version of the application are enabled at the same time in the runtime, so there will be no loss of service for users when they are upgrading or rolling back the versions. This basic application versioning is one step toward that direction.
Users can be interested in this feature in terms of administration. As all the versions of an application are stored in the GlassFish repository, it will help minimize downtime during upgrade or rollback. Indeed upgrade and rollback operations can be done by "hand", for instance deploying a new copy of running application consists:
- downing the current application
- undeploying the current application
- copying up the new artifact
- expanding that artifact on GlassFish
- deploying the new application
- starting the new application
In a clustered environment theses operations can also be done by "hand" but this result in a lot of hoop jumping and coordination. With versioned applications, GlassFish can do these steps for the user, and, ideally let he or she switch over (and back) very quickly with little management.
2. Functionality
2.1 Syntax definitions
There are two kinds of syntax defined to handle versioning within GlassFish server:
2.1.1 Version identifier
A version identifier satisfies the following regular expression :
This expression allows the use of maven/OSGi version values (major.minor.micro-QUALIFIER or QUALIFIER-major.minor.micro) as identifiers.
2.1.2 Version expression
A version expression is either a version identifier or a wildcard expression that contains one or more « * » characters as the wildcard. GF applies the associated operation to all versions of the application which match the expression.
Version identifier and expression are used as suffixes to application names, introduced by a colon « : » ; for example « myApp:Beta » or « inventory:RC* ».
This approach preserves existing APIs (e.g. JSR-77, JSR-88, AMX) while allowing them to take advantage of the versioning feature. Places where an application name appears in the v2 APIs will accept a name with version expression in v3.
|Be careful with wildcard character
There are possible issues with the use of the wildcard character * in commands with some shells. Many Unix shells provide globbing on filenames at the command line and in shell scripts. The shell expands the "glob pattern" (foo:* for example) and supplied the list of all the matches to the execution of the command.
When encoutering this issue, please surround the version expression by quotes like :
$ asadmin undeploy "foo:*"
2.1.3 Untagged version
The untagged version is a version having an empty string as identifier and that follows the same rules as all others version. This concept was introduced to maintain backward compatibility with GlassFish v2 users.
2.2 Use context
2.2.1 The version information
The GlassFish versioning system embeds the version information as part of application names. An application becomes a versioned application if the version information is provided at deployment time. Users can follow either Maven or OSGI versioning schema but there is no relationship among versions of the same application (no later/previous versions).
For all deployment mechanisms using a name option, the use of --name is mandatory to pass in the version information. For the others mechanisms (e.g. "JSR88" or "Autodeploy") a new version element will be introduced in the GlassFish deployment descriptor (glassfish-*.xml).
2.2.2 Context root and JNDI name
In v2 GlassFish enforces some restrictions among different applications, such as requiring each application to have a unique context root and to use distinct JNDI names (same jndi names among versions of a same application). These restrictions remain among different applications in v3 but do not apply to different versions of the same application. GlassFish v3 permits different versions of the same application to use the same context root and the same JNDI names. This causes no runtime conflict because at most one of the versions can be enabled at a time.
2.2.3 Common version resources
Database tables created or deleted as part of deployment and undeployment are global resources and so cannot be qualified by an application version, so users have to be very carefull when using global resources among versions of the same application.
2.2.4 Rollback
GlassFish supports version rollback through the enable command. If the user deploys a new version he or she can rollback simply by enabling a different version. Because enable automatically disables any enabled version of the application, enable accomplishes rollback.
2.2.5 Context of commands use
An identifier is bound to an unique version while an expression matches a set of versions. Consequently there are two different command groups using either an identifier or an expression as argument
|Identifier aware operations
|Expression aware operations
|deploy / deploydir / redeploy
2.2.6 Preservation of sessions
The sessions are preserved during the redeployment of a version as GlassFish treats it like a distinct application. On the other side, preserving sessions among different versions of the same application is more complex as the key used for session variables has to be the same between the versions being switched.
2.2.7 Resources-adapters
Resources are created with reference to the resource-adapter's (application's) name.
Since we embed version within the application's name, the older version's resources will not refer to newer version of the application. Administrator/Developer need to explicitly create resources for the newer version of the application.
Moreover GlassFish will ignore any duplicate exported global resources and let deployment go through.
3. Unversioned vs. versioned apps and backward compatibility
Although the same operations apply to versions and unversioned applications, the effects can be slightly different. We want users to have a consistent experience in v3 when they use a sequence of operations they have used from v2. We also want users to be able to deploy an unversioned application and later use versioned application whenever they want.
GlassFish provides explicit versioning through the use of the name option: the user has to provide explicitly an application name following the versioning syntax described above. For the commands where the name option is optional such as deploy, the use of the --name attribute is mandatory if the user wants to use versioned applications. Therefore the complete versioned name won't be deduced from the archive name to avoid some ambiguity.
This approach gives users the same experience they had with v2.
4. Implementation
4.1 Domain.xml
This proposal requires no new changes in the layout. The version information is embedded in the module name.
4.2 Deployment Related Admin Classes
As we are using the versioning syntax as part of the application name, all the impacted classes (identifier aware operations and expression aware operations) will evolve so they operates on the correct version of the application.
4.3 Deployment Object Library
The DOL will evolve so that the getAppName() method for application and getModuleName() method for module descriptor returns only the untagged name of the versioned application excluding the version identifier. The getRegistrationName() for application will return the versioned name as we use it to register the application.
Theses modifications will provide the possibility to have unique JNDI names for versioned EJBs and unique context roots for versioned WAR where it's not known (not provided in the web file descriptor or at deployment time through asadmin option --contextroot).
4.4 ApplicationRef
The colon character has to be allowed for ref attribute in ApplicationRef so we can use it as part of application names. The restriction in GlassFish v3.0 was:
5. Basic commands
5.1 Version deployment
The deployment process is performed by the deploy command which is an identifier aware operation. The syntaxes presented above are used as name option, therefore there is no relationship between the archive name and the versioning system at all.
The deploydir command is currently deprecated but has to be presented because it extends the deploy command in order to provide some backward compatibilty for v2 users.
Moreover deploying an enabled version will automatically disable the currently enabled one if there is one depending of the value of the --enabled attribute. The default behaviour of a new version deployment is to disable the currently enabled version as the default value of the --enabled attribute is true.
- A user wants to deploy the application "foo" (untagged version)
- A user wants to deploy an enabled version:
- A user wants to deploy a new disabled version:
- A user wants to deploy a version named "RC-1":
- A user wants to deploy a version named "RC-2" from a directory:
5.2 Version redeployment
The redeployment process is accomplished by the redeploy command which simply invokes the deploy command correctly. The use and the behavior of this command is similar to deploy command:
The last two commands are equivalent. The force option is needed for redeployment when using deploy command so the user does not accidentally overwrite the version.
5.3 Version switch
The user can perform switch operation by using the enable command which is an identifier aware operation because only one application can be enabled at runtime. The enable process disables the currently enabled version before enabling the one specified by the user.
The primary argument of this command is the application name, it's used to specify the version to enable (the targeted version must be already deployed).
- A user wants to activate the untagged version:
- A user wants to activate a version with a simple identifier:
- A user wants to activate a version with a more complex identifier:
5.4 Version deactivation
The disable command is an expression aware operation which allows the user to disable any version.
Although only one version of an application can be enabled at runtime, this command accepts version expressions to be more flexible for users. Only one application can be disabled by the command process even if the targeted expression matches more than one version.
If the currently enabled version doesn't matched by the expression, the command will result in a no-operation. This is to be consistent with the current non versioned commands (disabling an already disabled application will do nothing because what the user wants to achieve is achieved).
If a user disables the currently enabled version, then GlassFish will not enable automatically another version.
- A user wants to disable the untagged version:
- A user wants to disable a version with a simple identifier:
- A user wants to disable the currently enabled version, but he doesn't know the version identifier:
The expression "foo:*" matches all versions of "foo" application (including the untagged version) and so the enabled version.
foo* is not a valid version expression. The wildcard character is only allowed in the version part of the command value (ie. after the colon character).
- A user wants to disable the currently enabled version if its identifier begins with "RC":
5.5 Version(s) undeployment
The undeployment process is performed by the undeploy command which is an expression aware operation because several versions can be undeployed at the same time unlike the disable command that process over one version at most whatever expression supplied.
Indeed the undeployment process deletes matched version bits in repository which might also result in undeploying the currently enabled version if the expression matches it.
If a user undeploys the currently enabled version, then GlassFish will not enable automatically another version.
- A user wants to undeploy the untagged version:
- A user wants to undeploy a version with a simple identifier:
- A user wants to undeploy all versions (including the untagged) of "foo" application:
foo* is not a valid version expression. The wildcard character is only allowed in the version part of the command value (ie. after the colon character).
- A user wants to undeploy all the version(s) of an application where the identifier begins with "RC":
5.6 Version client-stubs
The client-stubs generation process is performed by the get-client-stubs command which is an identifier aware operation because the generated files can only match one version.
The targeted version is specified as identifier.
- A user wants to retrieve the stubs of an application with a specific version:
- A user wants to retrieve the stubs of an application with the untagged version:
5.7 Version list
5.7.1 list-applications/list-components
The list-applications and list-components commands allow users to display the versions of each deployed application, no identifier will be shown for untagged applications. The interest of this command in the context of versioning is that in addition to list all versions, it allows users to quickly find which version of an application is currently enabled.
This command has two modes of use, a default and a verbose mode.
The default mode will display the versions in a compact way, using the version identifier format used in the commands. This mode allows v2 users to keep using GlassFish as they are used to.
The verbose mode will be activated with the --verbose option, it will add the enabled state of each version in addition with the information of the default mode.
- A user wants to list versions after some deployments:
- After some time, the user might not remember which version is enabled, he can then get the version list again, but this time with the enabled state information:
5.7.2 show-component-status
The show-component-status command allow users to display the enabled state of a given application. This command is an expression aware operation as the v2 users can still use it as they used to (by refering to the untagged version) and as it provide users the possibility to look at the enable states of a version set.
- A user wants to show the status of an application:
- A user wants to show the status of a specific version:
- A user wants to show the status of the version set:
5.7.3 list-sub-components
The list-sub-components command is an identifier aware operations because it use a module name as argument and an application name as option. The restriction to version identifier exist primarily in order to not make users confuse.
- A user list the subcomponents of the untagged version of an application "fooEAR" within a module "fooWAR":
- A user list the subcomponents of a specific version of the "fooEAR" application within a Web module "fooWAR":
5.8 Version application-ref
5.8.1 list-application-refs
The list-application-refs command is very similar to the list-applications command but it process over application references. As the list-applications command we will provide two modes of use: a default and a verbose mode.
- A user who had v2 experience has created some references to applications and want to list them:
- Then he process the same command in verbose mode to display the enable states of the references:
5.8.2 create-application-ref
The create-application-ref command is an identifier aware operation or an expression aware operation depending on the value of --enabled option. It accepts version expression to provide user facilities. As the default value of --enabled option is true, processing this command over a set of versions will try to enable all of them on the provided target. This user facility is only consistent with --enabled=false.
So this command accepts version identifier by default because the default value of --enabled is true ; it also accepts version expression only if the --enabled option is false and warnings will be printed out if some references are already created in the target.
GlassFish will reject the command with a meaningful error message when --enabled=true is used with a version expression. GlassFish will also display a message when --enabled=true is used with a version identifier to warn users that they can use version expressions.
- A user creates a reference to the untagged version of Web module "foo" on the unclustered server instance NewServer:
- A user creates a reference to a specific version of Web module "foo" on the unclustered server instance NewServer:
- A user creates references to a set of versions of Web module "foo" on the unclustered server instance NewServer:
Interesting usecase
- A user creates references to a previously deployed version set of the Web module "foo" on the unclustered server instance NewServer, then deploy 2 new versions on the DAS and finally updates the references on the instance NewServer:
5.8.3 delete-application-ref
The delete-application-ref command is an expression aware operations to allow users to delete references over a version set or a targeted version.
- A user deletes a reference to the untagged version of Web module "foo" on the unclustered server instance NewServer:
- A user deletes a reference to a specific version of Web module "foo" on the unclustered server instance NewServer:
- A user deletes references to a set of versions of Web module "foo" on the unclustered server instance NewServer:
It is possible to use versions with a JSR88 client application. For the commands where the application name is optional such as deploy, the use of a specific name is mandatory if the user wants to use versioned applications.
Although there are two common ways to deploy with JSR88 depending on the API used, only one allow users to fill a specific name:
The application name is taken from the display-name entry in the Java EE standard deployment descriptor. If it's not present GlassFish will use a temporary name for deployment like : jsr88-2866258839334960706.tmp, in this case the version information is not provided explicitly so GlassFish will not deploy the application as a version.
v3 documentation:
7. OSGi and GlassFish versioning
As OSGi have its own versioning system, GlassFish will let the deployment go through but will display a warning if a version information is provided as part of the name option.
8. In-place directory deployment
A directory shouldn't be deployed twice with a different version identifier. The versioning for in-place directory must be managed by users: if they wants to use two version of a same application with a unique directory, they has to provide the --force=true option:
The fact that users provide the --force option indicates an unusual behavior, as a directory is already assigned to a version. If the --force option is not provided, the deploy command will fail:
9. Versioned / unversioned
Users not using versioning as in GlassFish v2 are implicitly processing on the untagged version. Actually when people refer to an application foo, GlassFish performs the task over a version with an empty string as identifier.
The user can start to use versions and go back to the untagged one when he wants, he can also operate on the untagged version as he would with all others basic commands.
- A user wants to use v2 unversioned commands:
- A user starts using versions and then go back to use the untagged version:
- A user starts using GlassFish without versioning and then use the versioning:
10. Samples scenarios
This part attends to present the life-cycle of an application from a user perspective through command sequences.
A user is developing a simple Java EE application named foo and uses GlassFish to deploy it. He deploys his application the first time as follows:
After some code updates, he compiles again the application and wants to re-deploy it this way:
At this point the user thinks he has reached the milestones he fixed, but he wants to go further in the development of its application by proposing new features. Consequently he plans new milestones and decides to version his application.
Once the development of the next targeted version finished, the user deploys it like:
Then the user has decided to plan a new "BETA" version containing a special feature not needed at this moment but potentially required later. Therefore once the version developed, he deploys it but doesn't enable it (he will switch later):
The 'BETA-1.1' additional feature is needed now, and the user has to switch for this version:
The user has now reached another version and he deploys it:
Before doing anything else the user wants to refresh his memory about the deployed versions:
At this moment the current enabled version is "RC-1.0", and the user assumes that the "BETA" versions are no longer useful. Therefore he can undeploy all the "BETA" versions this way:
A moment later, a major bug is found in version RC-1.0. He knows that the application before versioning does not include the bug, so he decides to return to the untagged version:
A famous company released an open source Java EE application named "magicFOO" performing exactly the "foo" process in a more powerful way. Therefore the user decides to drop his application and use the new one instead:
11. Rejected scenarios
The scenarios presented below show what the user cannot do in accordance with the definitions. ;:The error message "Version untaggedName:versionIdentifier not registered" is used as somehow the previous releases chose to use word "registered". Moreover there is no real difference between "registered" and "deployed".
11.1 Bad use of commands
The identifier aware operations can't process if the expected argument is a version expression:
11.2 Bad scenarios
This part deals with the forbidden sequences causing a GlassFish error. The rejected commands cause no change in which version (if any) of an application is enabled.
11.2.1 Switch to a non-deployed version
It is not possible to enable a version not previously deployed:
11.2.2 Undeployment of a non-deployed version
Same case for undeploy command, it's not possible to undeploy a non-existing version:
11.2.3 Deployment of an existing version
If an application is deployed, the user must supply the 'force' argument to specify that he wants to re-deploy the application:
11.2.4 Application reference(s) creation
Version expression shouldn't be used if the --enabled option is not specified or is set to true.
12. Some Open Issues
- There are possible conflicts between application name and repository name with the "-".
For instance if a user has deployed a version "foo:BETA-1.0", it will be stored in a directory named "foo-BETA-1.0" of the application repository ; then if the name "foo-BETA-1.0" is used either as application name or archive name during a deployment, this will raise an issue.
A solution could be using a specific characters combinaison to minimize the possible conflicts.
- Are there aspects other than context root and JNDI names that should either be permitted to be the same in different versions of the same app, required to be the same, or required to be different?

There one economic fact that always holds true. When economically disadvantaged countries take on industry development because of low production costs, the economic growth of the population enables them to buy things they could never buy before. That local demand drives up local prices and results in local inflation. Simultaneously, demand increases the need for labor and then drives up labor costs.
Ultimately inflation and increased labor costs reduces the ability to be cost competitive.
China has been able to take on western production because of low labor and overhead costs.
We saw similar economic change iin Japan in the 60's, and else where over the years. Well the economic advantage China holds, is starting to dimminsh. Labor and the increased cost of oil is starting to drive inflation in China. So too will it's ability to continue to underprice production compared to other areas of the globe.

When I joined, I was a lowly NETRA B-mediocre enduro rider living in upstate NY, starting to think about dual sporting and ADVing. A lot has happened since then, and by grace of chaos, I am now a Boise resident as of last July. And finally an ADV bike owner with the recent acquisition of an F800GSA, this only adds to my ride choices and does not displace my love of offroad and single track on my 250XC or Berg FE450.
I came to ID in great part for motorcycling, my wife and I having fallen in love with the state during a 1996 visit, and it only took 17 years to fulfill a dream, but here we are. I am very excited for the MC people I will meet and the rides I will take of all types as long as the Universe allows me breath and balance.
So that's it for now, just wanted to say hello. And I look forward to bumping in to as many of my fellow Idahoans ADVers as time goes by. This is going to be a good year, I am sure of it.
Be well,
I use my FE450 as a DS bike.....but truck it close to the trail head. Just got a seat concepts cover put on, but have not had a chance to ride it yet. Lots of great places to explore around here. Spring seems to be here and it's time to start riding.

The AP's Fournier, master of the lead, goes with Congressman Kucinich's personal ad at the top of his write-up: LINK
PoliticsNH.com's Pindell also recounts Kucinich's "personal ad": LINK
From ABC News' Kucinich campaign reporter Melinda Arons:
In a first for his campaign, Congressman Kucinich may just have been the most talked about candidate in the spin room last night after the Planned Parenthood Candidates Forum in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Responding to the question about what role the candidates' significant others would play in their administrations, the twice-divorced Kucinich had a bit of fun with the notion of being a bachelor president: "Maybe Fox wants to sponsor a national contest!" Over the roar of laughter, Kucinich went on to describe his perfect mate: dynamic, outspoken, dedicated to world peace and universal single payer health care (more laughs from the audience). He finished off with "If you're out there, call me!"

Moseley Braun: Ambassador Moseley Braun appears for a live discussion on washingtonpost.com today at 2:00 pm ET. LINK
From ABC News' Moseley Braun campaign reporter Monica Ackerman:
The "Seabiscuit campaign" is how Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun describes her run for the presidency. But can she pull out in front of the crowd? She's still campaigning and has participated in every debate, even if it means driving herself there. Today in Chicago she plans on getting some extra help. Mike Fitzgerald, Business Manager of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 134, is giving Carol Moseley Braun his personal endorsement. Her campaign calls Fitzgerald "one of Chicago's most prominent and powerful leaders."
As for Governor Dean's apology regarding the Confederate flag, Braun said, "I'm very happy about that; I'm glad he did. I think it helps us get past the issue all together."

ABC News Vote 2004: The Invisible Primary: The Boston Globe 's Glen Johnson reports on the Planned Parenthood candidates' forum in Manchester last night, where "[the] balance of the 90-minute session was tamer than the face-off the candidates had a night earlier, a cooling attributed to Howard Dean's decision yesterday to apologize for saying last week that he sought the support of Southerners who display the Confederate flag." LINK
The Boston Herald's Andrew Miga has sound bites from the forum. LINK
The event was far more subdued than Tuesday's Rock the Vote forum, writes John DiStaso. LINK
The Wall Street Journal 's Bob Davis and Jake Schlesinger follow yesterday's story on White House proposals for Americans to save money with a look at the Democratic presidential hopefuls' plans for saving. They also set up the campaign season finger-pointing on the economy and the dilemma of offering plans for low- and middle-income families while slipping businesses and the wealthy sweeteners as well.

(a) through (e) [Reserved] For further guidance, see§ 20.2032-1(a) through (e).
(f) [Reserved] For further guidance, see§ 20.2032-1(f).
(1) Life estates, remainders, and similar interests. The values of life estates, remainders, and similar interests are to be obtained by applying the methods prescribed in § 20.2031-7, using (i) the age of each person, the duration of whose life may affect the value of the interest, as of the date of the decedent's death, and (ii) the value of the property as of the alternate valuation date. For example, assume that the decedent, or the decedent's estate, was entitled to receive certain property worth $50,000 upon the death of A, who was entitled to the income for life. At the time of the decedent's death, on or after May 1, 2009, A was 47 years and 5 months old. In the month in which the decedent died, the section 7520 rate was 6.2 percent. The value of the decedent's remainder interest at the date of the decedent's death would, as illustrated in Example 1 of § 20.2031-7T(d)(5), be $9,336.00 ($50,000 × .18672). If, because of economic conditions, the property declined in value and was worth only $40,000 on the date that was 6 months after the date of the decedent's death, the value of the remainder interest would be $7,468.80 ($40,000 × .18672), even though A would be 48 years old on the alternate valuation date.
(2) through (g) [Reserved] For further guidance, see§ 20.2032-1(f)(2) through (g).

I'm just curious what others do with Christmas money. In years past we have been given the occasional gift card or maybe $50 each as Christmas presents and we typically just spent it on ourselves or the family once we had kids. This year we were given a bit more and I'm wondering what to do with it. So what do you do?
What to do with Christmas money?
if i had debt, thats where id would go... but since i dont it would go to savings or to something that i want, or maybe a little of both
~Lisa~ Single mom to: S,Z,&X
BS#3: on hold!
I usually let the kids have a little of theirs and then put the rest in their savings.. b/c they already have enough crap.. Often times my mom gives me money to use for things the kids need.. so I keep that availabel for great clearance clothing/shoe deals etc..
*Cat in the Hat* 11y, *Thing She 1* 8y, *Thing He 2* 8y
We got about $1500 in xmas money for DH and I. We are using some to buy a new rug for our dining room, and the rest is going into savings.
me and dh each got a 10 dollar gift card for wallyworld..so hey new undies for each lol..and my mom sent 50 but that ended up being spent on DD
We usually put it into the boys' savings accounts.
Tawnia SAHM to Jacob (7) and Peter (5)
We got over 700 for us, 200 for DS and 400 in savings bonds for our son this Christmas!! We put the whole 700 towards debt minus like 20 each for spending...If we didn't have debt, we'd probably keep a little more and buy something we wanted and then the rest to savings and DS's college savings.
~Erin~ Mommy to 1 perfect DS-2
My�CRAZY chart:� http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/14335a
Two aunts send $50 that said for kids. Its going in their accounts for pre-school/ pre-K. Another aunt send $50 that said "family gift" thats going to swimming lessons sinking fund.
Gift cards are a different story. I got several including $100 to Target. It for me but all I want is household items so thats what its going toward (new shower curtain ect). I also go $75 to the mall and put in pictures sinking fund.
If I got cash I'd load up my yearly sinking funds, then pay off debt.
Tired of living in CHAOS? Learn to FLY
Gift cards are a totally different story - in fact I spent mine AND dh's . . . I'm so bad. But he's getting himself a big gift in the next couple months and I've been wanting a Wii Fit forever - so I used his Best Buy gift card. And then also spent my Kohl's card mostly on myself - but I did get him a sweater. So that counts, right?
Tawnia SAHM to Jacob (7) and Peter (5)
Our kids all got savings bonds and DH and I got over 1500 in money. The money is to be used for home improvements or something we want. We were all told we cannot use them for bills, to pay taxes, ect... LOL. They wanted to buy us an appliance but we didn't all need anythign right now.
We bought-- an aircompressor and camcorder. We are going to get all need curtains in 3 rooms and a new indoor glass door.
The kids money will go into their RESP (education) accounts. It's the only way we fund these accounts right now.
DH and I will probably spend a little bit our ours, but the rest of mine will go into my checking account to cover my Xmas overspending . Once everything is all paid up in January, any extra from the checking account will get transferred into savings/retirement.

In his first year on the ballot, Roger Clemens received 37.6% of the vote. It's a disappointing total, but he did finish with eight more votes than Barry Bonds. After the results were announced, Clemens took to his Twitter account and responded to not getting the required 75% of total votes needed for election. All things considered, Clemens' response could have been bitter, jaded, and angry, but it doesn't seem like he's a huge deal to him. He brushed off his lack of election after one year, and walked it off. It'll be interesting if Barry Bonds has anything to say in the wake of his disappointing vote total. But please Roger, never say "muchie peachie" ever again. You're 50, not 15. [follow]

Chelsea's Eden Hazard scored a controversial penalty deep into stoppage time to salvage a 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and preserve Jose Mourinho's unbeaten home Premier League record.
Referee Andre Marriner was surrounded by furious West Brom players after Brazilian midfielder Ramires went down under what appeared to be an innocuous challenge from Steven Reid.
Belgian international Hazard,fined and left out of the squad for the Champions League match with Schalke 04 by Mourinho for losing his passport,returning from France late and missing a training session,made amends by keeping his cool to score.
The draw took Mourinho's unbeaten home league record at Stamford Bridge to 66 matches following 60 unbeaten games in his first spell there between 2004 and 2007.
However,his team could hardly have left it any later with West Brom seconds away from their first league win at Stamford Bridge since 1978.
Although Chelsea blew the chance to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points,Liverpool made no mistake,crushing a woeful Fulham side 4-0 at Anfield to move up to second.
Southampton were the other big winners,beating Hull City 4-1 at St Mary's to go third.
Arsenal,who play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday,top the table with 25 points from 10 matches,followed by Liverpool on 23,Southampton with 22,and Chelsea on 21.
Everton,who drew 0-0 at bottom side Crystal Palace,and Tottenham Hotspur,who play Newcastle United at home on Sunday,both have 20 points.
Mourinho told Sky Sports he was convinced it was a penalty.
"When a penalty comes in the last minute of stoppage time it is always a dramatic situation. But I am sure it was a penalty.
"I have watched it on the screen after the match from different angles and different speeds and there is no doubt it was a penalty.
"We should have had a free-kick when West Bromwich scored their second goal so if someone should be upset with the referee it is Chelsea," he added.
"I just know it's hard when you get a penalty against you in the last minute and you are winning the game it is hard to accept."
Reid told Sky he thought the penalty was harsh.
"It was very soft. There was obviously contact there but it was a fair shoulder-to-shoulder challenge and Ramires has gone to ground very easily," he said.
West Brom manager Steve Clarke,11 years a Chelsea player and Mourinho's former assistant at the Bridge,was angry about the decision,even though Mourinho kissed him on the cheek at the end of the game.
"It was not a penalty. I am sad,I am angry. But I am also very proud of my players because we were magnificent today and we deserved to get the three points and if we play like that for the rest of the season we'll be good.
"(Jose) has to say its a penalty. He's in the opposition dugout. We had a great chance to make it 3-1 before the non-penalty. It is ridiculous to have to take that,because it wasn't a penalty."
Samuel Eto'o put Chelsea ahead shortly before halftime but goals from Shane Long and …continued »
