moreLife on the Screen is a book not about computers, but about people and how computers are causing us to reevaluate our identities in the age of the Internet. We are using life on the screen to engage in new ways of thinking about evolution, relationships, politics, sex, and the self. Life on the Screen traces a set of boundary negotiations, telling the story of the changing impact of the computer on our psychological lives and our evolving ideas about minds, bodies, and machines. What is emerging, Turkle says, is a new sense of identity—as decentered and multiple. She describes trends in computer design, in artificial intelligence, and in people's experiences of virtual environments that confirm a dramatic shift in our notions of self, other, machine, and world. The computer emerges as an object that brings postmodernism down to earth. less

Short answer: Wait for it.
Retin A works on the basal (the deepest) layer of the skin. Normal skin maturation (growth) takes about 90 days for a skin cell to pass from the deepest layer to the surface. So, if Retin A is working, you will not see a change that begins at the basal layer for 90 days, or about 3 months.
Most of the complaints I receive are from patients who have simply not been using it long enough.
Retin A comes in a variety of concentrations, expressed as %. Another possibility is that your skin requires a higher concentration. Talk to your doctor.
Some patients expect their skin to peel while using Retin A. This is usually an indication of too high a concentration. Retin A is working even though you may not be peeling.
Some doctors insist on a higher concentration to create some peeling so that the patient can see something happening while they wait the 90 days. This is unnecessary (but saves on complaints – except now patients complain that they are peeling!)
Everyone's skin is different. Come on in, we will check you out, and make sure you get the right stuff,

The site says "satisfaction guaranteed". Too bad there isn't a way to enforce that because I am by no means satisfied!! I usually don't write reviews but this incident made me so mad, I just had to write something!
I chose fromyouflowers dot com because they had a free delivery special. (I should have known they were going to compensate for that by giving me an inferior product and no customer service) I can't believe the customer service representative actually brought this up when I complained . She said I should be happy with the flowers since I didn't have to pay for delivery. How does she keep her job???
I ordered the "Florist designed Christmas plant." What my parents got was a pink poinsettia. There were poinsettias on the site, so if I wanted poinsettias, I would have ordered them!!!.
Next, how is a simple poinsettia "florist designed"? I have bought florist designed plants from other sites like proflowers and 1800flowers and they sent a plant with live flowers and they were always beautiful. Furthermore, a pink poinsettia? My Mom said it was nice thought, but the color is ugly!! Glad she didn't remind me she doesn't like poinsettias! (Which is another reason I'm so upset they sent poinsettias)
Although I once had an issue with on time delivery from 1800flowers their customer service representatives were wonderful and they rectified the situation to my satisfaction, so I ordered from them again. I can't believe I had to argue with fromyouflowers and I still didn't get satisfaction. All they did was offer $15 off the next order. Do they really think I would order from them again when they won't rectify the current situation????? I want the flowers exchanged. Pick up the ugly poinsettia and bring a plant!

Downtown Dallas' landmark Chase Tower hits the market for sale
One of downtown Dallas' largest skyscrapers is up for grabs.
The 55-story Chase Tower on Ross Avenue just hit the market following at $10 million redo.
Built in 1987, the 1.3 million-square-foot post-modern business palace has been rumored for months to be headed to the sale market.
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler just listed the tower for sale.
Houston-based Hines owns the building which last traded in 2007.
Back then Chase Tower fetched an estimated $300 million.
But look for a much higher price this time because of the building's recent upgrades and its blue-chip location next door to downtown Dallas' Arts District.
Last year's biggest office trade was the $330 million sale of the Towers at Williams Square in Las Colinas.
Chase Tower may give that property price a run for more money it investors line up to take a swing at the deal.
Downtown Dallas' St. Paul Place and Ross Tower office buildings just changed hands.
A sale of the Bryan Tower is still pending.
The sale announcement for Chase Tower comes just a day after its signature tenant banking giant JP Morgan Chase announced it would relocate 6,000 workers to a new office campus in Plano.
Chase officials say its several hundred workers in the downtown Chase Tower won't be significantly impacted by the office moves to Plano from several suburban locations.

I'm trying to modify the price of a product before it is added to the cart. I'm using the filter 'woocommerce_add_cart_item', but I can't get it to work. Here's my code:

function change_product_price_in_cart( $cart_data ) {

But in the cart all I see is the original price of the product. Am I missing something?

Spieth and Watson are quite an odd final pair.
Spieth is who the golf world needs to add a strong young player to the sport. If Bubba gets a second jacket, he secures for himself a solid place in golf history.
There is not really anyone that I wouldn't mind see winning out of the leaders. Maybe Jimenez. And I really have nothing against him either.
Jordan lost his mojo at the turn and nobody found the back-9 magic. There weren't to be roars this year.
Congrats to Bubba, I guess.
Bubba's driver made it tough on those guys. When he's not missing fairways he's going to be tough to catch.
A huge congratulations to Bubba Watson on being only the second Lefty in history to win two Majors.
Ratings were way down this year, so seems like viewers agreed it wasn't all that exciting. This looks like the lowest rated Masters as far back as I can see, which is 2002. Yeah, Tiger matters...... a lot. And no Phil on the weekend didn't help either.
I did enjoy Feherty's "He's lost his marbles" comment on Bubba going for the green in two on 15.
One of my brothers is a Marshall on hole 5 at the Players. I asked what takes for him to get to 17 and he said, "Years".

President's Message - As the President of JAC, I welcome you to our site! A handful of local visionaries started this organization in 1988 and we've enjoyed dynamic leadership for many years.
Our reputation for adapting to the needs of the community we serve is well known. I believe we can provide much positive education and benefit for our community while responsibly objecting to those things we believe are detrimental to our community's well being.
I believe we can and should support those things that serve to enhance our lives and the lives of those who share this community's values.
Our efforts should enhance the experiences of all who live, work and recreate in Jamul. I am certain we can find solutions and fund interventions when necessary. My goal is to have us identify the challenges before us and alter what we can long before they become critical issues.
Jamul is a caring and diverse community with many people dedicated to improving our quality of life. There is a great deal of strength and power in unselfishly helping others.
Please get be involved by giving, advocating or volunteering. I hope you'll be inspired to make a donation of time, money or both to support the important efforts underway.
Together, we can accomplish more than any one of us could alone. Please support our efforts!
On August 8, 2016, the U.S. District Court dismissed JAC's Complaint, without leave to amend. This decision came as a surprise because portions of JAC's lawsuit are still on appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The District Court lacks jurisdiction to make any substantive decisions, much less dismiss JAC's case, while the appeal is still pending. And, because JAC's appeal may be nearing completion, the timing of this decision is curious. JAC had urged the District Court to delay any such decision until the appeal is complete. Unfortunately, the court did not accept JAC's suggestion.
Consequently, on August 15, 2016, JAC was required to file an immediate appeal of the District Court's Order which was decided on narrow procedural grounds. Specifically, Judge Mueller reversed her 2014 approach, that allowed the case to proceed with JIV participating as a non-party amicus, and held that the case must now be dismissed because the JIV could not be joined as a party because they have sovereign immunity. This is not correct. The JIV is a quarter-blood Indian group created in 1982. It decided not to seek federal recognition under 25 CFR Part 83 and is not entitled to sovereign immunity. But the District Court's use of this procedural technique allowed it avoid deciding the merits of JAC's lawsuit. Read More »

Who decided you North Dakotans didn't need heat? When? I had good friends in the Minnewaukan area and they never mentioned it.
What part of 'When the people...decide' did you miss? The phrase describes an event which has not yet taken place. It might not, it might.
Don't think it ever will? Read up on Stalin's treatment of the Ukranians. It can happen here, especially with the entitlement mentalities of those in power, and they'll pass a law so it's all nice and legal.
I know people here descended from some who survived that by literally walking out of there, and had a professor in college who walked out as a child during the October Revolution.
The administration is doing all it can to cripple our electrical generation capacity, and when the brownouts come, we're not a large enough voting bloc (and a 'red' state to boot!) to keep the lights on if Duh-1 decides to invoke an EO and send the killowatts we generate here elsewhere. No power to a furnace, and most people will be freezing (literally) in short order. Not everyone here works outside in the weather, and especially the folks in town, living in newer homes (without fireplaces) will be vulnerable.
That is one possibility, the other is the diversion of natural gas (a primary home heating fuel here). Either one would do the trick.
The Executive Orders are in place to seize and divert any and all resources in the event of an 'emergency', and these Cloward/Piven folks will create an emergency if they need to (they already are in terms of energy, it just isn't blatantly evident yet). If it happens, don't bother to look for the 'news' on CNN. It won't be there.
I have a lot of faith in our system as it was originally set up, but little faith in it as it is being twisted by the folks in office at present, except to do the wrong thing. The more power a government has to do the wrong thing, the bigger a mess it can make of things, and ultimately, it can destroy the very Nation it is supposed to safeguard. So the more that power is broken down into small units, (as the Founders intended), the less damage it can do. YMMV
I rarely look for news of any kind on television and I'm not paranoid.
What part of 'When the people...decide' did you miss? The phrase describes an event which has not yet taken place. It might not, it might.
The possibility of that happening is about the same as the possibility that it will snow gold dust this winter.

Amazon: A Patch for Your Novel Is Ready To Download
As e-books go mainstream, authors are gaining an opportunity to literally rewrite history.
Eagle-eyed owners of the Amazon Kindle e-reader, like Paul Biba of the site TeleRead, have taken note of messages from Amazon letting them know that an e-book they had purchased "contained some errors that have been corrected." The notes come with an offer from Amazon to wirelessly download an updated version of the book–with the owners' permission.
An Amazon spokesman confirms that the company does, from time to time, contact customers with updates, and they occur with both fiction and non-fiction titles.
Back when books had to be printed on dead trees, authors couldn't do anything to fix an error they found after a book had been published. Once the book was in readers' hands and on library shelves, the matter was moot.
But now that books, like computers, are connected to the Internet, they're much more dynamic. Theoretically, the ability to change a book could be used both for good and bad purposes.
F. Paul Wilson, the author of the novel for which Biba was offered an update, says the capability is "a thing of beauty."
In the case of his book "An Enemy of the State," an error occurred in the process of converting his book to Kindle format–the process inadvertently dropped the last three chapers before the epilogue. Readers complained to Amazon, and so it contacted Wilson to fix the Kindle version of his book.
"I've had goofs in my hardcovers in the past, but we were never able to fix them until the next printing or edition, and no way to get the changes to people who had already bought the book," says Wilson. This gaffe was fixed in a matter of days, he says.
That capability is particularly useful in cases where there's a production error–or perhaps with textbooks that can be updated with new data as it becomes available.
Wilson added that he frequently modifies his work. When a new publisher was re-issuing his book "The Tomb," he tweaked it to trim the prose and remove anachronisms like Johnny Carson.
"But that's me," said Wilson. "I don't think a book is ever perfect. E-books offer the ability to tinker forever, which is not a good thing for me," he said.

Unfortunately, this incident did not turn out as we all positively expected.
Jason's sincere apologies have been definitely acknowledged and accepted since I, myself am a business entrepreneur and understand that a business investment can go positive as well as go in a negative direction. Business entails risks (good/bad) and I withstood that risk & definitely learned from it.
His promise & perservance to pay everyone since continues to progress quite positively with full confidence.
If you are interested in conducting business with Jason, please do not let this one report refrain you from continuing. Perform your complete due diligence on him and determine for yourself. One report should not automatically assume that a person is at 100% fault until proven entirely, wouldn't you agree???.
I initially posted this report due to all the scams my partner and I had encountered these past 2 yrs and actually to find out, Jason is not one of them. Just a bad deal didn't go through (happens).
Note (FYI): Besides the reported transaction reported above, I also was involved with Jason on another minor transaction few weeks before the above transaction and was paid 3x on that program.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The Villa Maly is situated in the heart of Asia's "best preserved city". It's a residence, an oasis, a destination unto itself. Once the home of Lao royalty, today Villa Maly is an exquisite boutique hotel, ensconced by a profusion of tropical flora. Its rooms evoke the subdued elegance and creative flourishes of yesterday's aristocrats. Its wonderful situation, in an enclave of classic old homes will embed itself in your dreams of Luang Prabang.
Each Superior Rooms can lay claim to its own distinct appeal, featuring custom arrangements and distinguished artwork. The rooms do share similarities in hardwood floors, vibrant colors, slate-walled bathrooms, flat-screen televisions and views of the gardens or pool. Some superior rooms boast a king sized bed; others offer a pair of beds.
With king beds, wonderfully subdued colors and ample natural light, Deluxe Rooms rank as the Villa's most exquisite accommodation. All deluxe rooms occupy space in the home at the heart of Villa Maly, now known as Plumeria, but once the residence of Princess Khampieng and Prince Khamtan and their children. The furnishings in each room was specially designed for Villa Maly and crafted by artisans in Saigon. The desks, the bedsteads, wardrobes, and tables add to the singular ambiance of Villa Maly.
Villa Maly's own culinary options are a good base for exploration. The hotel's kitchen serves a mix of Western and Eastern dishes, from Italian favorites, local fish to green curry; fried glass noodles prepared Lao style and Chinese fried rice. Likewise, the wine includes vintages from Europe to Australia.
In their two-table, poolside venue, their two therapists practice time-honored spa techniques. They're ideally suited for one guest at a time but couples can be accommodated, and the four-hand massage is an option. Pre-booking is recommended.

Hey all,
I am currently editing a theme (Volt) that uses the TimThumb script. I am trying to make the script 1) display an attached thumbnail if there is one 2) if not, display a thumbnail specific to that category, and 3) if no image is found for the category, display a default image.
Here is part of the current script:
if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {
$img_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($GLOBALS['post']->ID), '');
$thumbnail = $img_src[0];
else { $thumbnail = '';
$default_thumb = $bloginfo.'/images/post_thumb.jpg';
$thumbnail = ( $thumbnail == '' ) ? $default_thumb : $thumbnail;
As you can see, 1) and 3) are taken care of in the default script. My issue is that I am a beginner in php and don't know how/where to put the 2) statement.
Please help!

When Simon Majumdar hit forty, he realized there had to be more to life than his stable but uninspiring desk job. As he wondered how to escape his career, he rediscovered a list of goals he had scrawled out years before, the last of which said: Go everywhere, eat everything. With that, he had found his mission -- a yearlong search for the delicious, and curious, and the curiously delicious, which he names Eat My Globe and memorably chronicles in these pages.
In Majumdar's world, food is everything. Like every member of his family, he has a savant's memory for meals, with instant recall of dishes eaten decades before. Simon's unstoppable wit and passion for all things edible (especially those things that once had eyes, and a face, and a mom and a pop) makes this an armchair traveler's and foodie's delight -- Majumdar does all the heavy lifting, eats the heavy foods (and suffers the weighty consequences), so you don't have to. He jets to thirty countries in just over twelve months, diving mouth-first into local cuisines and cultures as different as those of Japan and Iceland. His journey takes him from China, where he consumes one of his "Top Ten Worst Eats," stir-fried rat, to the United States, where he glories in our greatest sandwiches: the delectable treasures of Katz's Delicatessen in Manhattan, BBQ in Kansas and Texas, the still-rich po' boys of post-Katrina New Orleans.
The meat of the story -- besides the peerless ham in Spain, the celebrated steaks of Argentina, the best of Münich's wursts as well as their descendants, the famous hot dogs of Chicago -- is the friends that Simon makes as he eats. They are as passionate about food as he is and are eager to welcome him to their homes and tables, share their choicest meals, and reveal their local secrets. Also a poignant memoir, Eat My Globe is a life told through food and spiced with Majumdar's remembrances of foods past, including those from his colorful childhood. (Raised in Northern England, he is the son of a fiery Welsh nurse and a distinguished Bengali surgeon.) A captivating look at one man's passion for food, family, and unique life experiences, Eat My Globe will make you laugh -- while it makes you hungry. It is sure to satiate any gastronome obsessed with globetrotting -- for now.

Rev. Michael Williams, S.J., to present Altmayer Chair Lecture April 11
MOBILE, Ala. – Rev. Michael Williams, S.J., associate professor of English at Spring Hill College, will present the 2011 Altmayer Chair Lecture at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 11 in the LeBlanc Conference Room in the college's student center.
Williams, the 2009-2011 Altmayer Professor of Literature, will present "Facing the Other: Drama as a Source of Reconciliation in Northern Ireland." The lecture is free and open to the public.
Although trained as a specialist in medieval literature, Williams has developed a strong interest in Irish literature, particularly modern Irish drama. He has recently presented papers at regional and national meetings of The American Conference for Irish Studies and The Conference on Christianity and Literature.
Williams received his bachelor's degree, Magna Cum Laude, from Fordham University with a triple major in English, Philosophy and Classics. He also holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in English literature from The University of Southern California, as well as a Master of Divinity degree from The Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. He served as assistant and then associate dean of The College of Arts and Sciences at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., before coming to Spring Hill College in 1986. At Spring Hill College, Williams has served as chair of the department of English and adviser to three student organizations: The Knights of Columbus, The Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, and Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit honor society. He is currently a member of the National Board of Directors of Alpha Sigma Nu and serves as elected board secretary.
Spring Hill College benefactor Nan Altmayer established the endowed chair in literature in 1999 to recognize someone who has fostered an understanding and appreciation of literature through teaching, scholarly contributions and his or her own creation of literary works.

Alternative Break
We envision an empowered community dedicated to creating an equitable, engaged, and socially just society.
To inspire and empower students to make a constructive difference in their communities through accessible, affordable, immersive service experiences. Alternative Breaks are drug and alcohol free experiences, encouraging students to commit to the life-long effort of creating positive social change. By practicing leadership, transformative action, and critical reflection, students address important social issues while exploring the diverse culture and history where they serve.
2016 Alternative Spring Break
2016 Alternative Spring Break Trips:
- Indigenous Rights and Culture – Hopi Nation
- Animal Rights – Kanab, UT
- Hunger and Homelessness – San Francisco, CA
- Environmental Stewardship – Seattle, WA
Alternative Break is a national program where colleges and universities organize drug and alcohol-free local and out of state trips for students that want to travel during their fall or spring breaks. Since 1999, the Thayne Center has organized over 30 AB trips. Participants have traveled to 12 states, including New York, Hawaii, Colorado, and Washington. Alternative Break at SLCC challenges students to learn about social issues, such as poverty and homelessness, and empowers them to personally make a difference through volunteering. For more information about our current trips, please visit the Alternative Breaks OrgSync page.

About this series
In the first article in this series, "Part 1. Service identification", we outlined an approach for identifying services that are connected to business requirements. We started by capturing the business goals and objectives necessary to realize the business mission. We then modeled the business operations and processes that are necessary to meet the goals and objectives. Then we used the business process as a contract that helped identify the required services and the potential relationships between them.
In the second article, "Part 2. Service specification", we modeled the details of the service specification. A service specification defines everything a potential consumer of the service needs to know in order to decide if they are interested in using the service, and exactly how to use it. It also specifies everything a service provider must know in order to successfully implement the service. That is, a service specification is a mediator or contract between what consumers need and what providers provide. This information is captured in the service specification, making it easy to search asset repositories for reusable services and obtain all the necessary information without having to navigate many different documents or search for related elements.
In this article we'll look at designing how the services are actually provided or, in Unified Modeling Language (UML) terminology, realized. The service realization design starts with deciding what components will provide what services. That decision has important implications in service availability, distribution, security, transaction scopes, and coupling. After these decisions have been made, you can design how the functional capability of each service is to be implemented and, therefore, how the required services are actually used.
The next article in this series, "Modeling SOA: Part 4. Service composition," will describe how these services can be composed to create new services. The final article, "Part 5. Service implementation," will use the IBM® Rational® Software Architect UML to SOA transformation feature to create a Web services implementation that can be directly used in IBM® WebSphere® Integration Developer to implement, test, and deploy the completed solution.
Context of this article
A complete understanding of SOA modeling requires getting to the details for how a service is actually implemented by providers and used by consumers. If the implementation is difficult, then perhaps the specification is incorrect or the wrong services have been identified. This article shows how to design the implementation of each of the service specifications we designed in the previous article. The implementation design consists of three steps:
- Deciding which service providers provide which services
- Designing the service implementations
- Assembling and connecting service consumers and providers necessary to model complete implementations
Deciding which services are provided by which providers (there could be more than one) is driven by many factors, including:
- Where the services are most likely used
- Where they are most likely to be deployed
- What qualities of service are required
- Stability of the functional area
- Where the most change is anticipated
- How much coupling is tolerable in the domain
- Security issues
- Applicable platform implementation technologies
- Integration and reuse of existing systems
A detailed analysis of all of these concerns is beyond the scope of this article, but it is covered fully in the IBM® Service Oriented Modeling and Architecture (SOMA) method. Here, we'll assume that, somehow, the IT architect has decided which service providers will provide what services, so we can focus on how the providers are modeled and assembled into consumer solutions.
As with all of the articles in this series, we'll use existing IBM Rational and IBM WebSphere tools to build the solution artifacts and link them together so that we can verify the solution against the requirements and more effectively manage change. Table 1 provides a summary of the overall process that we'll use in developing the example and the tools used to build the artifacts.

Service identification and specification review
Let's start by reviewing the service specifications that were identified and specified in the previous articles. Figure 1 shows the business services requirements contract that our solution must fulfill.
Figure 1. Service requirements contract
Recall that this service collaboration represents a requirements contract, which is potentially derived from a business process that represents what our service solution must do. It is an architecturally neutral specification of the requirements that does not over-constrain the SOA solution.
Figure 2 shows the service specifications that were identified as needed to fulfill the requirements. Essentially, we are building (buying, reusing, adapting) services that are capable of playing the roles in this business services requirements contract.
Figure 2. Service topology
Figure 3 shows the complete
Scheduling service
specification. This service specification is a simple interface, because there is
no interesting protocol for using scheduling services.
Figure 3. The Scheduling service specification
Figure 4 shows the
ShippingService service
Figure 4. ShippingService service specification
This service specification is a little more complicated, because it models the
interaction between a shipper and an orderer by using a simple callback style
interaction. Because this specification includes a behavioral protocol, we model
it using an abstract class that defines the roles (properties) involved in the
service protocol. The responsibilities of these roles are defined by their
types, which are the interfaces provided or required by the service
specification. The
ShippingService interaction owned by
ShippingService service specification defines the
rules for how the shipper and orderer interact. This interaction will be the
contract for service channels connected to a service defined by this service
Figure 5 shows the
InvoicingService service
Figure 5. The InvoicingService service specification
This protocol is also a bit more complicated, because the provided and required service functional capabilities must be invoked and responded to in a specific order. In this case, an activity is used to define the service protocol. However, this was simply a matter of choice; we could have used an interaction or state machine.
Figure 6 shows the Purchasing service specification:
Figure 6. The Purchasing service specification
The Purchasing service specification represents the functional capability specified in the original Process Purchase Order business process. It represents a service identified and designed to realize that business process. Because there is no services protocol associated with this specification, we once more model this using a stereotyped interface.
Now we are ready to design components that provide each of these services.
Service realization
A service defines a set of capabilities, provided by service providers, that meet the needs of service consumers, or users. The first step in service implementation design is to provision the services. That is, to figure out which service providers will be providing what service capabilities. This is a key part of designing an SOA, because choosing providers establishes the relationships between service consumers and providers. Therefore, this establishes both the capabilities of a system and the coupling between its parts.
You could put all of the operations into a single service and have a simple solution. But all clients would depend on that one service, which would result in a very high degree of coupling. Any change in the provider would result in a possible change in all consumers. This was a common problem with module libraries in the old days of C programming. You could also create a separate service for each functional capability, but this would result in a very complex system that would not reflect good encapsulation and cohesion. It would also be difficult to model communication between consumers and providers that follow a protocol for using a set of related functional capabilities.
In the end, deciding on the service participants is something that takes some skill and can be affected by lots of compromises. Distribution can play a key role. It would be great if we could design SOA solutions independent of consumer and provider location, but that generally isn't very practical. Where a service is deployed, in relation to consumers and other required services, can have a profound effect on solution performance, availability, and security. Ignoring this in the solution architecture may result in unacceptable solution implementations down the road.
Our problem here is quite simple, so it is not hard to determine what service participant will provide or consume what services. The following sections provide models of service providers for all of the services shown in Figure 2 and the detailed service specifications that follow that figure. This is a fairly simple example, and many of the service providers provide only one service that has only one capability. This will not generally be the case. Service providers are expected to provide or consume (or both) many services that have many functional capabilities. This example is intentionally simple to focus on concepts without getting bogged down in the details of the example itself.
An invoicing service provider provides the Invoicing interface for calculating the initial price for a purchase order, and it then refines this price when the shipping information is known. The total price of the order depends on where the products are produced and where they are shipped from. The initial price calculation may be used to verify that the customer has sufficient credit or still wants to purchase the products. It is better to verify this before fulfilling the order.
We start the design of this service provider by creating a system use case that
defines its requirements and a
<<serviceProvider>> component
called Invoicer that realizes the use case. The Invoicer component will be
in the credit package that imports the CRM (customer relationship management)
package to use the common service data (message) definitions. Figure 7 shows what
we have so far.
Figure 7. The initial Invoicer service provider
The Invoicer service provider will provide the
InvoicingService service. We model this by adding a
<<service>> port to the
Invoicer, which is of the type
InvoiceService service
specification. All services are typed by service specifications that define what
functional capabilities are provided and required and the protocol for using them.
Figure 8 shows the Invoicer with the invoicing service added.
Figure 8. Adding an InvoicingService to the Invoicer service provider
We can see by the type of the service that it provides the Invoicing interface
and requires the
InvoiceProcessing interface. From the
service's type, we know what consumers connected to the service have to
do to use the service and what the Invoicer (or any other provider) has to do to
implement it. Any use and implementation of a service must be consistent with the
service's specification and its protocol.
The invoicing
port can also specify the possible bindings provided by the Invoicer component for
use in connecting with other components. Different possible binding approaches,
such as RMI over IIOP (Remote Method Invocation over Internet Inter-ORB Protocol)
or SOAP over HTTP, can again have a profound effect on the performance,
availability, and security of a service. Therefore, these concerns should be
addressed as part of service design, even though they may be platform-specific. At
a minimum, the solution design should address whether connections with the service
are local or remote or both.
The Invoicer provides the Invoicing interface, which involves two operations:
The Invoicer must provide a design for the implementation or method
for each of these service operations. The method must also invoke the
processInvoice operation of the
interface when the price calculation has been completed. Figure 9 shows the
Invoicer component owns two behaviors that have the same name as the provided
Figure 9. Invoicer service implementations
completePriceCalculation activity is the method
for the
Invoicing::completePriceCalculation service
operation. It uses an opaque action to calculate the total price, and then it
invokes the
InvoiceProcessing::processInvoice operation
on the invoicing port. (The target input pin of the
processInvoice action is the invoicing port.) Notice
that this is consistent with the invoicing protocol as specified by the
InvoicingService service specification.
initiatePriceCalculation opaque behavior is the
method for the
initiatePricesCalculation service
operation. This operation is implemented by using Java™ code captured in
the body of the opaque behavior.
Production scheduling
A production scheduling service provider provides the Scheduling interface to determine where goods will be produced and when. This information can be used to create a shipping schedule used in processing purchase orders.
The Productions component provides the Scheduling interface through its
scheduling port, as shown in Figure 10. This
<<service>> port specifies
the possible binding styles available on that port.
Figure 10. The Productions service provider
The service operation methods are the
requestProductionsScheduling and
sendShippingSchedule behaviors. The details of these
implementations are not shown in the diagram and may be left to be implemented by
the developer by using more applicable, platform-specific languages.
A shipping service provider provides the Shipping interface to ship goods to a
customer for a filled order. It also requires the
ScheduleProcessing interface to request that the
consumer process the completed schedule.
Figure 11 shows that the Shipper service provides the shipping service as
specified by the
ShippingService service specification.
Figure 11. The Shipper service provider
Conjugate types
To use the service providers design shown previously, we need to understand the relationship between consumers and providers, how they are connected, how to specify the types of the ports on the connector ends, and how to determine if those types are compatible, resulting in a valid connection.
SOA is about matching consumer needs with provider capabilities. Consumer participants have needs that they meet through requisitions. Provider participants have capabilities they offer through services. Consumer needs are mapped to provider capabilities by connecting requisitions to services. The way consumers use services and the way providers provide them must be compatible with the protocols defined in the service and requisition specifications.
When a service consumer's port (a requisition) is connected to a provider's service port, the ports at the ends of the connection must be compatible. This means that the consumer's requisition must require the providing port's interfaces, and the consumer must provide the required interfaces. Further, the consumer and provider must interact according to the protocol defined in the service interface.
The requisition port can use any class to define its type. It can provide or require (or both) any interfaces, as long as they are compatible with any service ports that it is connected to. That is, consumers and providers are decoupled until they are connected, and they are not required to have a particular service specification corresponding to the provided service specification.
However, there are many cases where the type of a consumer requisition is the exact complement or conjugate of the service port that it is connected to. As a result, it may be convenient to define a convention for easily specifying and designating the conjugate of a service specification that can be used as a type for a consuming requisition port. This type is known as the conjugate of a service specification. The only difference between a service specification and its conjugate is that the provided (realized) and required (used) interfaces are reversed. Everything else in the class is the same, including the behavior that models the service protocol.
For example, consider the
InvoicingService service
interface. Figure 12 shows the conjugate of InvoicingService, called
Figure 12. ~InvoicingService, the conjugate of InvoicingService
The convention used here is to name the conjugate the same as the service
specification, except starting with a ~. (tilde symbol). Any naming
convention can be used, but it should be used consistently to make it easy to
recognize the relationship between these types.
~InvoicingService has the same internal structure and
behaviors as
InvoidingService. It simply uses the
interfaces provided by
InvoicingService and realizes
the required interfaces.
A future extension of the IBM Software Service Profile for UML may introduce the concept of a requisition port to distinguish needs from capabilities. Then, a requisition port could use the same type as a service port, thereby eliminating the need to define conjugate types. A requisition port would indicate that the capabilities of the service are being used, while a service port would indicate that they are being provided.
What's next
We have now finished the identification, specification, and implementation (or realization) design of the services, consumers, and providers needed to meet the business objectives. The result is a technology-neutral design model of an architected service solution. But we still haven't created a service consumer that can bring together services provided by the Invoicer, Productions, and Shipper and use them to process a purchase order. The next article in this five-part series, "Modeling SOA: Part 4. Service composition," shows how to assemble and connect these service providers and choreographs their interactions to provide a complete solution for the business requirements.

(Sorry for my approximative english)
I'd like to use a cache plugin for logged in users, because 70% of my trafic is users who are logged in (it's a private buddypress community).
However, we know the problems which appear when we do not check "Don't cache page for logged in users", some visitors see content normally reserved to logged in users.
To solve this problem, we made an exclusive part of our website only for logged in users : I mean that visitors can't see this part if they are not logged in, they only see the homepage which is a landing page.
The problem is that if a non logged in user know the URL of some logged in reserved parts of the website, he can see this content because it's cached, even if this content is private.
Is there a way to tell to W3TC to respect the private conditionnal statement, and to not allow the logged in content to be viewed by visitors, even this logged in content is cached for logged in users ?
Another question: is it possible to tell the Database Cache to never cache the following pages:

The main goal is to improve performance of a buddypress installation.
