The 32-year-old star was meant to make an appearance with Sir Anthony Hopkins to promote their new film Proof, about a young woman haunted by her father's mathematical genius.
The film, a US/UK production with British Shakespeare In Love director John Madden at the helm, is up for the Golden Lion at the festival.
Today Paltrow still managed to speak at a press conference to promote the film, prior to its US opening on September 16, via a telephone link.
The star, who took some time off after the film was shot, said she had wanted to enjoy being pregnant.
During the press conference, Paltrow spoke about taking a break from acting following the birth in May last year of Apple, her daughter with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
"I was pregnant when I did the first shot of Proof and I started to show by the end of the film," she said.
"It was obviously impossible to do another film role unless it was specifically a pregnant role."
She said: "It was very important to me to take some time to be with myself and my family and take it easy and enjoy being pregnant.
"When I had my daughter, I just fell in love with her, so then I was really reticent about leaving her as a tiny baby and going back to work 14 hours a day.
"I finally went back to work when Apple was 10 months old. It was a really fantastic, exhilarating thing to do, but I was a bit torn that I couldn't put her to sleep every night."
Paltrow was criticised by working mothers when she suggested in an interview, just before giving birth, that she would not feel right working with a young child at home.
But she has projects to keep her busy, including a film about the life of Marlene Dietrich, as well as the movies Dirty Tricks, Have You Heard?, and Love And Other Disasters.
She told the press conference today: "At this point in my life I'm only interested in doing a role that I feel I'm going to learn something from, that's going to challenge and enrich me as an artist, a person, a mother.
"I don't have that carefree spontaneity any more. I can't just pick up at the last minute and go to a remote location because there's so much to consider.
"Hopefully, the day will come when I can take her (Apple) with me."
Paltrow previously played the role of Catherine, a woman who has spent many years caring for her unstable father, in Proof, on stage at London's Donmar Warehouse.
She said: "When I did the play, my father (director and producer Bruce Paltrow) was alive. When I did the film, I had lost my father.
"I learned a great deal about loss when my father died. It gave me an insight into death and grief and helped me understand this woman (Catherine) and how to get inside her head."
Sir Anthony had taken more than a year off from acting but delved back in after reading the script for Proof.
He described Paltrow as one of the two greatest actresses he has ever worked with, the other being Jodie Foster, who starred with him in The Silence Of The Lambs.
Asked a question about Asian films at the press conference in Venice, the screen legend confessed: "I'm not a great movie-goer."

My daughter had these potted plants that we forgot to water all the time so they didn't look too good. So I planted them each in a jar, poured in some water and screwed the lid on. Now I don't need to water them or tend to them in any way and they just keep growing and growing!
Every time I'm shopping at flea markets or second hand stores I keep finding these glass vases and jars that I just can't resist buying. It has turned into quite a collection and here is part of.
*think to myself*
I have to stop doing this, I don't have room for any more...
Collection of glas...
I had these small paintings and didn't want to make too many holes in the new wallpaper, so I mounted them on a piece of plank that I had laying around.
5 paintings, 1 hole
So this is what I'v been doing today. I'v had these frames hanging empty on the wall ever since I moved in. My intention was to have some nice photos of my family in them, but I never got around to develop those photos. So this is what I did instead. I cut out pages of an old book and grabbed my daughter's watercolors. I also painted the mirror frame and some of the frames black.
And I want to pain...

So they finally put up the new wallpapers in my kitchen, hallway and the children's room. And I did the painting of the battens/laths (not sure about the wordfor that in english, would appreciate if someone told me) myself. I'm actually very happy with the result! But it took it's time to finish.
I did the painting!
This is a sculpture that I made when I went to art school. Now I think it's trustworthy enough to be the key holder of my cupbordkey.
My key holder
This was a mirror with a brown wooden frame from the beginning. I have attached a light strand around the frame and glued irregular cut patches of cloth to it.

You know those super cute mini succulents that people plant in wine corks. I tried that... The result wasn't very successful. It is very hard to keep them alive. Either they dry out or drowns in water. Instead I made these with artificial succulents. The larger ones look more realistic and the price is accordingly. But then I mixed them up with cuttings from larger cheaper plants. The little poison bottle is filled with water and food color.

I have, for quite a long period of time now, been sewing on a couch cover. Today it was finished! I bought the fabric in a second-hand shop. It's a sheet and a curtain that has been given new life.
Funky couch!
Welcome to my new blog!
My first post will be about cleaning.
Today I have been cleaning in my common-law husband to be's apartment and I felt that I wanted to share my best tips on effective cleaning with you. Because whichever way you look at interior decorating, it will never look good if you don't keep it clean!
My first tip is a bit unexpected. Shop for cleaningsupplies in a paintware store!
¤ Those large sponges that they sell are so much more effective for wiping than a cloth or a regular kitchen sponge.
¤ Detergent that is intended to be used before you paint, will solve almost anything. I wiped off burnt stains from the oven door in a couple of minutes.
¤ A time-consuming mistake that alot of people do, is to wipe the dust around with a damp cloth that won't pick it up. Use a dry cloth instead!
¤ When you clean windows and mirrors, wipe with a dry cloth until the surface is dry to avoid getting lines.
¤ Put some laundry rinse in water and spray on your curtains to get a nice scent in the room.
My first post, done!
Hope to see you again soon!

One of the most popular game shows since it first aired on television in 1975, "Wheel of Fortune" played host to an Ahwatukee Foothills resident in an episode that will air tonight.
Jill Trotter was selected out of thousands of potential applicants to participate in the long-running show. She said that of the roughly 10,000 people that apply every year, only about 600 are selected.
"I wanted to go on a game show because it would be something fun and different," Trotter said. "Just the odds alone say you don't have a very good chance of getting selected, but I was, and it ended up being a humbling experience."
She and 74 other potential contestants were chosen to audition for 15 possible spots. For the audition, Trotter played a mock version of the game in front of show executives, with a miniature wheel and ended up getting a puzzle correct.
"I was just really excited to get one," she said. "The whole time I was just smiling and laughing because I know that was what they were looking for in a contestant."
Trotter got the call on Oct. 13, 10 days after her audition, informing her that she had been selected to appear on the show. She, her husband, and their two children made the trip out to Burbank, Calif., and practiced all along the way.
"I played it on Facebook and the iPad version the whole drive there," Trotter said. "But when I got to the studio I was anxious because I still didn't know what to expect."
The filming of her episode lasted one hour because they film six episodes in one day.
"They film six episodes, 39 days each year," Trotter said. "Everything moved so fast."
The other positive thing about the experience was that, because it is the holiday season, she was a Secret Santa to a "Wheel Watcher" and whatever she won, they won, too. She couldn't say exactly how much she won, but she did walk away with some cash.
"It's a game of luck, but I was thrilled that I came away with something and that I got a puzzle right," Trotter said.
You can watch and see how she did when her "Wheel of Fortune" episode airs Nov. 16 on ABC 15 at 6:30 p.m.

After we're done with our Five-Finger Discount shopping, John starts up the Mercedes and opens up the trunk. Ryan and I are walking slowly out the front door, each hand loaded with heavy weaponry.
A loud shriek, that sounds like that of a Jack's, sounds from my right, several yards away.
It charges. I drop the weapons, except for a pistol, and run, ducking behind the dumpsters.
I hear Ryan shouting, and shots fired, and a scream of pain, human.
A growl sounds next to my ear, and I turn around quick as lightning and shoot the thing, screaming at the same time. Yeah, I'm an excellent multi-tasker.
I wait a few moments longer, and come out to find a scene so horrible it's only by sheer curiosity that I can even look.

text: "Do you have any idea how stupid we are? Don't underestimate us!!!" - Gintama Dur dur dur, let's see what to say? I know no one is really going to read this anyway but I want to make a good impression to myself when I read this over to try and think of what others would think of this! Well I'm a fantasy writer pretty exclusively though I'll have the oddball non-fantasy story idea every once in awhile. I want to be published one day, but that's a goal for after I actually bring myself to FINISH a single story. As of today this goal still has not been accomplished to publication remains a distant dream. More on my style of writing though! Well I like comedy, humor. Almost all my main characters have a kind of snarky streak in them which is actually something I get concerned about. After all can't have all my my characters have the same personality! I think this leaning toward humor is influenced by my tastes and what I've read since I do love manga and anime and before I got into those my stories were much more serious adventure type stories than witty adventure type stories. I only sometimes regret it. Mostly I'm too busy laughing at my own jokes to care. As stated in my statement I'm a cosplayer. It is time consuming hobby which sadly has put my writing in the back seat but I'm working at balancing things out. You can check out my work on that regard by checking J-Jo Cosplay on Facebook, Deviantart, Cospix, or WorldCosplay. You can follow just plain old me by looking for the same on Twitter or Tumblr though both are pretty cosplay oriented.

International Standard Works Code (ISWC)
Definition - What does International Standard Works Code (ISWC) mean?
International Standard Works Code is a unique set of identifiers of music. ISWC is a way in which music or literary works are identified or cataloged. It is controlled by the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (ICSAC). Computer databases can distinguish these unique sets of identifiers, and ISWCs always begin with the reference letter "T." Intellectual property is then categorized and identified with the ICSAC. Standards for coding copyrighted creative works were first implemented by ICSAC.
Techopedia explains International Standard Works Code (ISWC)
ISWC can be useful when used in conjunction with library cataloging. And it identifies works as opposed to recordings. ISWC databases are used internationally, which ICSAC tries to promote. The ICSAC's mission also includes public education and awareness about copyright laws. ICSAC favors improved legislation worldwide protecting authors and artists holding creative copyrights. While the designated codes assigned to specific works always begin with the same prefix "T," they do not directly relate to the author, artist or title of their owned works. The very first ISWC was assigned to "Dancing Queen" by ABBA in 1995.

Does anyone else miss the good ol' days of the exciting "Christmas Specials" on TV? You know, back when holiday programs were actually SPECIAL because they only ran once a year – so if you missed them, you were out of luck? I sure do! I can still hear the drums and trumpets from the CBS Special Presentation intro in my head, and picture that swirling seventies logo that signaled that something wonderful and out-of-the-ordinary was about to happen. (CBS used to air the most popular specials, like A Charlie Brown Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.) As I was thinking about writing this post, I decided to take a quick look on YouTube to see if I could find that intro…and what do you know? There it was, exactly the way I remembered it from my childhood.
In the Decembers of my youth, I would grab the new TV Guide each Sunday to see which holiday specials were going to be aired in the days ahead, then eagerly look forward to them all week long. Watching the specials was a family affair at our house. I remember feeling sorry for my dad once when he was out-of-town and had to miss one (although he probably didn't feel the same way). But from a kid's perspective, they were a huge part of the holiday excitement build-up. Specials were not to be missed. I'm guessing that many children of the seventies and eighties would agree.
Yes, I know that all the same holiday programs can be found on TV now. And almost every year, new ones are released. They are played over and over again on multiple channels. In fact, the other night I set the DVR to record about 15 of them over the coming weeks, so that my kids will have pretty much any Christmas program they want at their viewing disposal. And we already own many others on DVD. But even while I do all of that for my kids, I feel like I'm taking something away from them at the same time. When you can watch something whenever you want, it's no longer special. There will be no heart-pounding moments for them as they watch that swirling CBS logo fill the TV screen. The whole experience has just become so…ordinary.
Sometimes, I think, the more is NOT the merrier.

And so this little sandwich was born. I cut up little squares of bread, and spread them with some soft creamy Brie cheese that I mixed up with a little chopped fresh dill. I popped a cool cucumber slice on top of the cheese, and then a slice of chilled shrimp on top of that. One more sprig of dill, and we were all set. A little plate of England, right there in my New Jersey living room (where just for the record, the Southern husband is also surrounded by females, including the dog).
(That's the look we get when we are eating pretty much anything, tea sandwiches included.)
Now dust off your teapot and make yourself up some tea sandwiches! They'll turn your ordinary lunchtime into something happily, easily elegant before you know it.
- 6 slices firm white bread, crusts cut off and cut into quarters
- 12 large shrimp, peeled, deveined, cooked, cooled and cut in half length-wise
- 24 thin slices of cucumber
- 8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, plus extra for garnish
- Mix brie with the minced dill, stirring until dill is mixed throughout the cheese.
- Spread each bread square with cheese mixture.
- Top each piece of bread with a cucumber round and a shrimp half.
- Garnish with a piece of dill and serve on a pretty plate with a cup of tea. Feel very elegant.

Health plans adjust strategies to economic downturn
■ Insurers whose profits are declining are trying to find business where laid-off employees have been shifted, including Medicaid and individual insurance.
- » A new financial reality
- » Slowing profits
The current recession hasn't changed investors' expectation that health plans grow profits -- even though that was not the reality in 2008.
So as plans announced their earnings were sliding, in part because of corporate layoffs that cut the number of members buying coverage, they also said they would step up efforts in products that those members were potentially turning to for insurance -- Medicaid and individual coverage.
All of the seven largest publicly traded health plans saw their earnings slide last year, with particularly steep declines in the final quarter, when unemployment accelerated, cutting down plans' group business. Plans in January and February reported 2008 earnings to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Full year per-share earnings dropped by 14% for WellPoint, which saw the most modest drop among the seven, and by 48% at Health Net, with most of the other companies falling in between. Cigna saw an unusually steep drop in profits, mostly due to losses in life insurance and retirement policies it no longer sells but continues to operate. As a result, its profits for the year were 72% lower than in 2007.
The plans said such business could make up for losses in income from expected congressional efforts to put Medicare Advantage plan payments even with Medicare itself, rather than at a premium that has usually exceeded 10%.
Fourth-quarter profits were down dramatically from 2007: Humana's per-share earnings were down 28% compared with the last quarter of 2007, and it had the smallest decline among the seven.
Despite those results, executives tried to make the case for their own long-term success by emphasizing how they are taking advantage of the weak economy and planning for future health system reform.
"If you're in [a government program] you're trying to expand it; if you're not in one you're trying to be a player," said Merit Smith, vice president and health care practice director for consulting firm Robert E. Nolan Inc. "If I'm already in there, like WellPoint is, they're going to talk it up, they're going to increase their street cred."
And they are talking it up: Brian Sassi, president and CEO of the consumer business unit at WellPoint, told analysts on a recent conference call that the company is trying to keep the newly unemployed as WellPoint members. That might be through an extension of coverage under COBRA -- which looks likely to be the target of federal subsidies -- through individual coverage, or as Medicaid enrollees, with WellPoint administering the benefits.
"We are going to be very focused as the economy continues to turn," Sassi said.
WellPoint has reason to plan for the erosion of its base commercial business: of 116 major corporate layoffs in 2008, WellPoint was "affected" -- defined as having lost members -- in 52 instances, said Ken Goulet, executive vice president and CEO of WellPoint's commercial business unit.
Other health plans already in the managed Medicaid field are touting those lines of business to investors, promising that despite state budget constraints, running Medicaid programs is a good way to make money in the midst of the recession.
Aetna bought the Phoenix-based consulting firm Schaller Anderson for $535 million in 2007 as a way to instantly win Medicaid business, and in 2008 won a contract to run Connecticut's Medicaid program.
UnitedHealth Group, meanwhile, added 800,000 new Medicaid members to its AmeriChoice division in 2008, growth that exceeded the company's expectations, and that President and CEO Stephen Hemsley said could continue, given the unemployment rate rising.
Focusing on Medicaid in light of rising unemployment could be smart business, not just wishful thinking on the health plans' part, according to managed care investment analyst Matthew Borsch, of Goldman Sachs. He released a research report Feb. 3 highlighting the money to be made by running Medicaid programs.
Medicaid is also being explored by health plans as a way of positioning themselves to be ready for national health system reform.
The other common strategy is establishing a sales network and customer base for individual insurance, in case the government establishes an individual health insurance mandate or subsidies to pay for health insurance.
Aetna has pushed hard in selling individual health insurance policies -- it boosted its individual membership by nearly 30% in 2008, Chair and CEO Ron Williams said in a presentation to investors in January.
Another changing reality for health plans is the way they expect to succeed in the Medicare program, given President Obama's past criticism of the Medicare Advantage system as structured during the Bush administration.
"I think 2009 is also a very big year in terms of getting clarity around the long-term nature of the Medicare Advantage program as we play through the politics and the decisions that have to be made around how the private sector is going to play here in the Medicare space," said Humana President and CEO Mike McCallister. "I'm very comfortable that at the end of the day we have a wonderful opportunity. The government does need us."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My landlord used her key to enter my apartment while I was there can she do this
If it were me, I would check the lease agreement I signed to see what it says. The landlord can enter, but, not just any old time and not without some kind of notice, which topics are usually discussed in the lease agreement.
Good luck.Ask a similar question
Yes if you have a written lease because it probably says so, and same is true where there is no written lease. But usually the requirement includes some kind of "reasonable notice" unless there's an emergency. If this recurs and no notice is given, and not even a knock at the door, this is a problem. And then again, why was the landlord there? There usually has to be some kind of reason...... and a responsible reasonable landlord will at least concoct a reason even if there isn't one.......

Home/Journey Bariatric Vitamins
Journey 3+3 Bariatric Multi Caps
All-in-One Capsules for those who do not like chewables. Contains specialized Calcium & Iron that work together in same product
When you have had 85% of your stomach removed or cut in half with intestines bypassed in order to control obesity, it makes sense that you must somehow make up for nutrients you are unable to take in or absorb via food. If you do not, bad things can and do happen. 98% have two or more deficiencies at 24 months post op!
Journey 3+3 All-in-One Capsules are small, easy to remember and with taste not being an issue, make life better for a new bariatric post op – 3 in the AM plus 3 in the PM. They have B12, Calcium, D, and even your Iron… it's all in one bottle!
The benefits of bariatric surgery are tempered by the high frequency of nutritional deficiencies that eventually affect nearly all those who have it. Bariatric patients are able to follow a one product routine more easily than old school regimens of multiple bottles and schedules. Our all-in-one formula provides powerful bariatric nutrition in high potency easy melt capsules.
Designed to meet the latest guidelines*, 3+3 Multi Caps include 3000 IU Natural D3 and 45 mg specialized Ferrochel@ 'Gentle' Iron. You also get at least 200% DV for all B vitamins, all trace minerals, high efficiency Albion@ Calcium plus Probiotics to support Gl health & reduce gas.
Journey 3+3 Bariatric Multi Caps:
All in One formula with targeted forms of vitamins and minerals
Albion® chelated minerals to better address known absorption issues
Ferrochel® Gentle Iron that is easy on the stomach & non constipating
No '2 hour rule' as Ferrochel® Iron does not block or cling to Calcium
Probiotics to help balance digestion – reduces bloat and embarrassing gas
Albion DimaCal® 'super calcium' dissolves & absorbs best in low acid environment
Replaces separate bottles of multivitamins, B12, B-complex, calcium, D, iron & probiotics
Journey 3+3 Bariatric Multi Caps are an excellent choice for those who want super high quality nutrient benefits but prefer capsules over chewable tablets.
Directions: Take three (3) capsules twice daily.

47 reviews for Journey 3+3 Bariatric Multi Caps
I love only taking 6 vitamins a day, only 2x a day. I always forgot something when taking the regular vitamins. Some I would take 3x a day, some I would take only 1x and others 2x. Way too confusing for me.
I always felt bad that I could not remember to take my vitamins every day. I thought it was just me. I love Journey capsules because I"m a nurse and need something fast and easy. I also work with lab geeks who confirm that Albion chelated minerals are top notch – the best. I do not expect anything less from SML.
I"m feeling so much better after taking the multiformula capsules. I had been off any vitamins for a while. The flavor isn"t bad at all; the size is a bit large, but not awful. Thanks for putting all the formulas in one capsule. So much easier than each one individually.
I like the capsule form much more than the chewable ones. I just had blood tests run, and they were all within range except that my Zinc was low. I had BP/DS surgery done in 2003 so I am take water soluble ADEK, which is difficult to find for me, but ADE were all okay. This Multi Formula doesn"t contain any K so hoping that my levels don"t drop on that. The BE Healthy site is one I enjoy most.
I"ve taken the Journey Multiformula capsules for 2 months now. One difference I notice is lack of constipation, which is always a plus! I have been quite religious about taking my vitamins throughout my 7 year journey and can say these are easy to take and sit well. The only down side is the container lid never works right for some reason. Overall these are great vitamins!
I feel good, I look good, I have great lab results. Have been taking these for over a year. I order 6 months at a time when they are in stock. I also take Gentle Iron Capsules as I was anemic for three years. Love Tummy Balance and Inspire Peanut Butter Cookie.
I am so pleased with this product no having to worry if I took my vitamin and every two hours was a hassle I feel good and love that they are easy to swollow I will be ordering them again . thank you for a wonderful product I have my energy back and I feel like a human again.
I use the Journey Multivit capsules and have had good results with my bloodwork so far
When BE ran out of these vitamins for a while, I was forced to use another bariatric vitamin. Within a month, my iron levels had dropped and I was feeling lame. As soon as I got my new shipment of this product, I started feeling better again. I love the 6 capsules a day option. Excellent product.
This product is FABULOUS!!!! It is the easiest way to get all of the vitamins needed throughout the day! I couldn"t keep up with all of the individual vitamins and HATED chewables!! This way I get all that I need with morning and bedtime capsules…..Doesn"t get any better than this!!!
I had RNY eight years ago quit taking vitamins long ago. But recently I found that I had severe anemia and had to have iron infusions to correct it. While I felt much better following the infusions, I was worried there might be other vitamins and minerals that were also deficient. In researching supplements I found the Journey Bariatric Multiformula to make the most sense. They are formulated just for us, plus, they are easy to take.
These vitamins are so easy to take without the chalkey after taste of other bariatric vitamins.
I have been taking the Journey Vitamins for almost two years. They have worked great for me. I have had excellent blood work and no problems. So happy to have them.
This is a wonderful way to take your vitamins. I take 3 in the morning and 3 at night. It is a lot easier to just have 6 to take instead of multiple ones. Would recommend to anyone especially bypass patients.
I am three years post-op and the Journey Multi-Vitamin has been part of my daily regimen all that time. I like that it is one product that meets the requirements we have as post-ops. A bit "pricey" but certainly less costly than poor health!!
I"ve been really lazy about taking my vitamins the last few years (I had RNY in 2005). There are so many to take, all at different times of the day, it just got to be overwhelming. Every year until now my vitamins levels have been ok so I didn"t worry about it. This year, they were all out of whack. My PTH was twice the normal limit and a few others were pretty bad. I decided to give these a try and just after a month things are looking better and better. I always remember to take them – 3 in the am, 3 in the pm, and I"m done. I"m going to get retested in 3 months so I hope everything will be back on track. I would reccommend these to anyone.
I love these vitamins- no more remembering to take which vitamin when- just 3 capsules two times a day- Once I was able to take pills I was happy to see this alternative- and more cost effective
I want to personally thank you Susan Maria for this wonderful product!! For 7 years I used a product where I ate 4 large chewables daily PLUS a b1 vitamin PLUS calcium PLUS iron. This was very time consuming as I was suppose to take them at different times with the different supplements. This was so cumberson whenever I traveled also because they are LARGE!! I am thrilled that I only take 3 of your small capsules once in the morning and 3 capsules in the evening and I"M DONE!! THAT"S IT!!! Plus I CAN REST ASSURED MY NEEDS HAVE BEEN EASILY & FULLY MET THROUGH YOUR AWESOME, HIGH QUALITY STANDARDS!! …YEAHHHH…SO SOOO WONDERFUL.
I am very pleased with the vitamins and I have started to feel better already. I can swallow these with no problem and I don"t have to worry about that chalky taste. Thank God for Journey"s
6 capsules twice a day… NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! I have enough trouble taking 2 a day. EDITORS NOTE: Carol, you have not read the 'Suggested Use' correctly. It's just 3 capsules twice daily! Sadly, you are probably not compliant. Please reconsider your commitment to your health.
I"ve been taking these for about a month. They are easy to swallow and I like the fact that I can take Journey"s iron formula with them.
I am 7 years out and have been taking Journey vitamins since Susan put them on the market. They are so much more convenient and much less confusing than any I have taken in the past. Best of all – my labs have been perfect. Also when I compare the price of this one combo vitamin with that of the several bottles I was having to buy before, it"s a good value.
I ordered this product because i was tired of being tired and I knew my levels were not right because I always forgot to take all of my supplements…definitely makes life easier to only have to remember to take them twice a day!!:)
Love these vitamins. Asked my dietician about them and she approved, so I ordered them. I'm almost through my first month and absolutely love them. Thanks for a great product.
This is my first bottle of Journey's MultiFormula Vitamins etc. So far so good. I have regained some of my energy and have found no problems swallowing the capsules. BTW, I like the capsules better than caplets! Only drawback is the taking of 3 capsules, 2 times a day. Sometimes I forget the 2nd time.
I have been taking these vitamins religiously for over 5 months, and I love them! I have noticed increased energy, and all of my vitamin levels are WNL. My doctor is happy with the results, and so am I!
I was using different vitamins. They were less expensive. A vitamin is a vitamin, right? NO! I've been on your Journey Bariatric vitamins since Christmas 2013, and my Labs/blood work show the best results since I've had surgery. Before Journey, I had a B1 deficiency twice. My liver enzymes were not in the correct range. Now they are. My primary care physician wants me to stay on these vitamins, not only for health, for quality of life.(The probiotic also helps keep me regular.)I've got to sign up for the auto ship today.
Love the vitamins.
So much easier than taking different pills at different times. I feel better than I have in a long time!
I have been using these multi-formula capsules for about 18 months and have found them to be a great solution to my vitamin needs. Honestly, I did not mind the previous plan with the individual vitamins but this multi-formula is truly an easy solution.The ease of use is increased because I use the auto-ship program. Added savings and simple to use make my vitamin plan a breeze to manage.Thanks for all that you do to support the patient needs required to make our lives successful.MARK
I've taken this for two weeks now, and so far I'm starting to feel better. I'm not taking the full amount yet I'm slowly adding a vitamine every couple of days. I havent had any side affect and I dont have to chew them!! I dislike chewing the other stuff. It's pricey but I think I will stick with them for awhile. If it helps me as much as I think it's going to it will be worth the money.
Dosage is so simple!
I am 10 years out and have struggled with taking any vitamins because of constipation issues I have been taking these journey vits for almost 3 weeks now and am pleased that they don't constipated me but also I have so much more energy than I have had in years. Love them!!!
I started taking Journey vitamins a short while ago, but so far I am very pleased with how much these vitamins have simplified my life! It just makes my life so much easier when I don't have to worry about whether or not I am receiving all the vitamins that I need. I am very happy with my purchase, and I will continue to use these vitamins! Thank you Journey!
These vitamins make my body happy. I feel that they provide everything I need. I am almost 7 years out from gastric bypass surgery and cannot stress enough the benefits the right formula makes. Thank you for your continued research and development of new and better products.
I just love this product. So much easier to take than having separate vitamins, calcium, and iron. The only problem I get is occasional low ferritin but then I order the iron caps and it brings my levels back to normal pretty quickly.
So MUCH easier to take these pills than the many, many pills and chewables that I took initially after surgery (they were practically a meal by themselves in those early days!) Just reviewed my blood work with my PCP yesterday and all looks good except for VitD (yes, I've just ordered the Journey Vit D) so I'm a happy Journey woman. 🙂
Just begun the vitamins in Sept but so far i absolutely love them. Easy to take and keep up with.
I've been on these for about a week. I don't mind taking these many pills a day but I can see how it could get tedious. I haven't had any blood work taken since I started but I haven't been deficient in anything yet. I will be looking forward to see my iron levels though, it's been low in the past and I got on the iron chews and they work great. I do like that I only have to take 6 of the same pills every day. They actually save me money!
I have been on auto-delivery for these vitamins for about half a year now and simply do not foresee canceling my auto-delivery for any reason. These vitamins have everything I was piecing together. 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. How much easier does it get? I love them and especially love the convenience.
These make it very easy to remember to take my vitamins. They are also a small capsule and not horse pills. They do not smell either. I am glad I found these.
looks like a great product
People in my support group didnt get that these are all in one vitamins. One bottle and nothing else people! Yes, I have to take 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon, but I think that IF they could reduce that number they would have done it. I am happy I don't have to buy separate multi, calcium, iron, B12, B complex. Probiotics are a nice touch where I don't have to buy those either. Thank you!

Do I think we can afford to drop Pitkänen because he may not be a 100% Meidän Peli compatible guy? No. Do I think Jalonen may have the stones to pull such a move regardless? Yes.
Leino is definitely a subject of similar debate. Skillwise he needs to be in contention, but as far as team cohesiveness go, he becomes a huge maybe. Of course, he's not nearly as essential as Pitkänen, but our pick of forwards still isn't such an embarassment of riches that one could pass him with a simple shrug.
If Jalonen drops Pitkänen or any other obvious choice from the team, I hope that will be his last act as head coach. Like I said in my previous post, we can't afford to drop top-level guys because they can't fit the game plan. Our material simply is not good enough to do that.
It's impossible to say anything about Leino yet. The guy could explode next season and put up 70 points in Buffalo, or if he doesn't put it together, bought out from his contract and out of the league by 2013-2014.

9:34 a.m.
"Oh my fucking god," I whispered, getting out of bed.
I looked at her. Her hair falling over her smooth face, a sly smile on her soft lips. I didn't regret this. I didn't regret it all. But... I would die when I got home. Savannah would be able to tell. I ran fingers through my hair, searching for my pants. She moaned and shifted in bed. God, she was beautiful. She slowly opened her eyes.
"Good morning, sunshine," I said, "um... you know where my pants are?"
She sat up, the white linen sheets covering her.
"No. It's... hot," she complained.
She slipped into my shirt which was lying on the bed. Where the hell were my pants? My phone rang. Perfect timing, Savannah. I quickly grabbed my phone, answering.
"Hello," I yawned.
Sofie walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
"Hey, baby," Savannah's smooth voice entered the phone, "how's the convention?"
"It's fine. We're discussing what new books we should bring into the curriculum."
"Like what?" she asked.
I had to think of something fast.
"The Great Gatsby?"
"Ah, I love that book."
"Yup. Well, Professor Huntington's calling me."
"Alright. When are you coming back?"
"Maybe tomorrow."
"Ok, bye."
I hung up.
"Wren," Sofie called from the bathroom.
"Can you come in here for a minute?"
I walked toward the bathroom, opening the door. She was glancing in the mirror.
"Why are my eyes completely red?" she asked.
"You're done changing."
"But why aren't your eyes red?"
"When you've drank enough blood, they'll be gone."
"So, I'm done? No more pain?"
"Ok. Good."
She wrapped her slender arms around my neck, kissing me.
"Wren, who's Savannah?"
She waited for an answer I couldn't give.

It's been several days since BC's senior federal minister announced he won't be seeking re-election.
But despite the high profile departure from his team, so far, the Prime Minister's been silent.
For years, James Moore has been part of Stephen Harper's inner circle.
But when the long-time Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam MP announced he won't be running again, there was no official statement from the Prime Minister.
Statements went out when other cabinet members announced their political departure, including John Baird and Peter MacKay.
When asked, a PMO spokesperson gave CKNW a statement, thanking Moore for his service, and wishing his family well, but noted, it's to be attributed to the spokesperson, not the Prime Minister himself.
Moore announced he's leaving politics to spend more time in BC with his family, including his son, who has health challenges.

Pointers to remember when buying kids' beds online
When designing our dream home, we unintentionally overlook the kid's room and focus more on the kitchen decor, living room and the master bedroom. However, just like your little son/daughter holds a special place in your heart, their respective rooms too does the same. Your kid's room is typically his/her world surrounded with fantasy and mysticism. It is their playground as well as their study. So it can be a crime on your part to overlook the decor of the kid's room.
When considering redesigning your child's room, special attention should be given to his/her bed. Ideally, your kid's bed needs to be comfortable so that he/she is not denied a sound night's sleep, and it should be playful at the same time. When looking to buy kids' beds online, do look out for the latest kid's beds are ideal in this regard as they are comfortable as well as colourful and come in multiple designs and patterns. These beds are convenient and fit in comfortably even in a small sized room.
When buying a kid's bed, there are certain factors that need to be considered –
- Quality – When buying bedroom furniture for kids online, make sure you check with the online site what types of materials were used in creating the bed or bedroom furniture. You want to make sure that the bed would last for many years. Wooden furniture is usually better in terms of longevity, although plastic-made ones are easier to maintain and clean.
- Design – Beds for kids come in various designs, based on the preferences of the parent, or the kid if he/she is already a few years old. You will immediately notice if your child likes a particular design. If you check out some kid bed stores but fail to find the best design, there are always some businesses that are willing to customise for you.
- Size and Quantity – How big is it? How long do you plan to have your kids sleep on it? Do you want to buy more than one? These are questions you need to answer, especially if you have other children aside from the one you are expecting. You do not want your other kids to feel envious that their newborn baby brother or sister has a stylish bed, but they don't.
- Price – Kids bedprices can vary slightly, especially if you are buying from a trusted brand that has been present for many years in the market. Make sure to get a quote before you make the purchase.
Owing to the relatively smaller size of the kid's room, opting for kid's beds with storage is a sensible option. Trundle beds for children are functional as well as fashionable that come with coasters, which permit the bed to be rolled underneath when not in use. These beds are effective in saving considerable space and come in various sizes and designs, depending on your kid's age. So when looking to design your kid's room do look around a bit and search for the latest designs and themes when it comes to your little one's single bed.

1. Re: filter a value from a fieldcrj May 20, 2011 9:47 PM (in response to 783492)I'm not sure if anyone's still watching this thread (as the question was posted a while back)... but here is a solution:
SUBSTRING('blabla (hello)' FROM POSITION('(' IN 'blabla (hello)') + 1 FOR POSITION(')' IN 'blabla (hello)') - POSITION('(' IN 'blabla (hello)') - 1)
The POSITION function gives you the first occurrence of a string within another string. The SUBSTRING function is used to get a subset of the characters in the string. So, ultimately, we're telling On Demand to give us characters x through y of the string, and X & Y are calculated with the POSITION function (which is used to find the "(" and ")" characters.
You would replace the instances of 'blabla (hello)' with the actual field name. Note -- if you have two strings within parenthesis (e.g. 'blabla (hello1) (hello2)' ), this function will only give you the first (hello1).

Towing Question
Evening peeps
I have a bit of a dilema thanks to the wife and kids!
We have just got another pony for my girls which we will be taking to local shows and pony club in our old horse trailer. We have a Nissan x trail which is pretty poor on fuel as it's a petrol and the wife uses it as a bumper car quite often She's used to small cars and doesn't really get on with big 4x4's.
Now we need a decent car capable to towing the two ponies and trailer (approx weight 2 tonnes) Is the T5 or indeed T4 capable of towing the above? If so which engine is the most suited?
Last edited by Bluehawk; 30-11-09 at 19:47. Reason: Reworded
Re: Towing Question
Hello Bluehawk.
The empty weight of a T4 is about 1.8 -2 ton, the recomended towing limit is 80 per cent of the empty weight. So a T4 would tow a max of approx 1.4 - 1.8 tons. You could tow more and some manufactors reconmend more, but the Caravan Club say no more than 80 per cent.
If you go for a T4 the best engine would be the 2.5, at least a 104.
Hope this helps, I'm sure some one might come up with more ideas.
Re: Towing Question
Thanks for that. I was thinking a 2.5 would be the best engine to go for. Would a T5 be any better?
Re: Towing Question
Apparently the max tow weight is 2 ton. I looked into this as I needed to tow a very large caravan of nearly 2 ton and my van 2.5 102 copped very well.
I believe the caravan club guidance of 80 % is just a recommendation - there's no laws around this.
Re: Towing Question
Hi I have a 2.5 petrol full westfalia 4 berth camper wieghing over 21/4 ton, so I have no problems towing 2 tonne tipping trailer. Thirsty on petrol so converted to lpg. any questions ask me.
Re: Towing Question
Towing trailers or caravans with vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes In this article reference is made to the maximum authorised mass (MAM) of vehicles and trailers. This should be taken to mean the permissible maximum weight, also known as the gross vehicle weight.
Category B: Vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes MAM and with up to eight passenger seats
Category B vehicles may be coupled with a trailer up to 750kgs MAM (allowing a combined weight up to 4.25 tonnes MAM) or a trailer over 750kgs MAM provided the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehicle, and the combination does not exceed 3.5 tonnes MAM.
For example:
a vehicle with an unladen weight of 1.25 tonnes and a MAM of 2 tonnes coupled with a trailer with a MAM of 1.25 tonnes could be driven by the holder of a category B entitlement. This is because the MAM of the combination does not exceed 3.5 tonnes and also the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen weight of the drawing vehicle
the same vehicle with an unladen weight of 1.25 tonnes and a MAM of 2 tonnes when coupled with a trailer with a MAM of 1.5 tonnes would fall within category B+E. This is because although the combined weight of the vehicle and trailer is within the 3.5 tonnes MAM limit, the MAM of the trailer is more than the unladen weight of the drawing vehicle
Vehicle manufacturers normally recommend a maximum weight of trailer appropriate to their vehicle. Details can usually be found in the vehicle's handbook or obtained from car dealerships. The size of the trailer recommended for an average family car with an unladen weight of around 1 tonne would be well within the new category B threshold.
Towing caravans
As for towing caravans, existing general guidance recommends that the laden weight of the caravan does not exceed 85% of the unladen weight of the car. In the majority of cases, caravans and small trailers towed by cars should be within the new category B threshold.
An exemption from the driver licensing trailer limit allows a category B licence holder to tow a broken down vehicle from a position where it would otherwise cause danger or obstruction to other road users.
By passing a category B test national categories F (tractor), K (pedestrian controlled vehicle) and P (moped) continue to be added automatically.
Category B+E: Vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes MAM towing trailers over 750kgs MAM
Category B+E allows vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes MAM to be combined with trailers in excess of 750kgs MAM. In order to gain this entitlement new category B licence holders have to pass a further practical test for category B+E. There is no category B+E theory test. For driver licensing purposes there are no vehicle/trailer weight ratio limits for category B+E.
Re: Towing Question
Cheers RJM
Checked my licence and I have the following catagories : A,B,BE,B1,C1,C1E,D1,D1E
I think I'm ok to tow the combination I mentioned earlier.
Re: Towing Question
most old licences are good for towing etc. its newer ones that tend to be more restrictive
Re: Towing Question
Been thinking quite a bit about this and I really don't want to get of my van.... eventhough it gets on me moobs sometimes. Decided I'm going to spend money getting the engine in tip top condition, getting the little dings repaired in the door that some pleb left for me and making the interior evenmore comfy. Oh and like the look of a nice big set of golf gti alloys for it.
Unless a bargain mint T5 comes up beforehand
Re: Towing Question
I have towed without any problems, only thing is weight whilst using lowering springs. I'd recommend some nice ex-aa airbags if its that heavy, using these you should be able to level the van

text: Web Services Overview Inspired by slides written by Marlon Pierce Community Grids Lab Indiana University What Are Web Services? The Web services framework is an XML-based distributed object/service/component system. • Intended to support machine-to-machine interactions over the network. The basic idea is to build a platform and programming language-independent distributed invocation system out of existing Web standards. Very loosely defined, when compared to CORBA, etc. Inherits both good and bad of the Web • Scalable, simple, distributed • But no centralized management: must be tolerant of failures. Basic Architectures Web Services HTTP Browser GUI Client Browser HTTP GET/POST Web Server WSDL SOAP SOAP Web Server JDBC DB WSDL Web Server WSDL WSDL JDBC DB Explanation of Previous Slide The diagram on the left represents a standard web application. • Browsers converse with web servers using HTTP GET/POST methods. • Servlets or CGI scripts process the parameters and take action (for example, connection to a DB). • Examples: Google, Amazon On the right, we have a Web services system. • Interactions may be either through the browser or through a desktop client (in Java, Python, etc.) • Examples: Google, Amazon (again !!!) SOAP e WSDL SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol • XML Message format between client and service. WSDL: Web Service Description Language. • Describes how the service is to be used • Similar to Java Interface. • Guideline for constructing SOAP messages. • WSDL is an XML language for writing Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs). Amazon and Google Experiment with Web Services Both Google and Amazon offer Web services. Why? To allow partners to develop custom user interfaces and applications that use Google and Amazon data and services. You can download their APIs and try them. • http://www.google.com/apis/ • http://www.amazon.com/webservices Why Use Web Services? Web services provide a clean separation between a functionality and its user interface. This allows a company (Google) with a sophisticated functionality and huge amounts of data to make that functionality available to its partners. • "Don't worry about how PageRank works or web robots or data storage. We will do that. You just use this WSDL API to build your client application and use our search engine." Google's PageRank Google's PageRank is a search engine that was developed by two Stanford students. It is an open algorithm published in scholarly journals, conferences. • Previous search engines were all proprietary. When to Use Web Services? Two or more organizations need to cooperate • One needs to write an application that uses another's service. Services can be upgraded independently of clients. • Google can improve PageRank implemenation without telling me. • Just don't change the WSDL. Services can be easily expressed with simple request/response semantics and simple state. XML and Web services XML provides a natural substrate for distributed computing: • It's just a data description. • Independent from platform and programming language. So let's describe the pieces. Web Services Description Language (WSDL) • Describes how to invoke a service. • Can bind to SOAP for actual invocation. Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) • Wire protocol extension for conveying Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). • Can be carried over HTTP or SMTP. Before Going On… In the next several slides we'll go into the details of WSDL and SOAP. But in practice, you don't need to work directly with either. • Most tools generate the WSDL for you from your Java class. • SOAP messages are constructed by classes. • Generated client stubs will even hide SOAP classes behind a local proxy that looks like a local class but actually constructs SOAP calls to the remote server. Web Services Description Language Defines what your service does and how it is invoked WSDL Overview WSDL is an XML-based Interface Definition Language. • You can define the APIs for all of your services in WSDL. WSDL docs are broken into five major parts: • Data definitions (in XML) for custom types • Abstract message definitions (request, response) • Organization of messages into "portTypes" and "operations" (which correspond to classes and methods). • Protocol bindings (to SOAP, for example) • Service point locations (URLs) Some interesting features • A single WSDL document can describe several versions of an interface. • A single WSDL doc can describe several services. The Java Code public String[] execLocalCommand(String command) { Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); String stdout="",stderr=""; try { Process p = rt.exec(command); BufferedReader in= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream())); BufferedReader err= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream())); Java Code Continued String line; while((line=in.readLine())!= null) {stdout+=line+"\n";} in.close(); while ((line=err.readLine())!=null) {stderr+=line+"\n";} err.close(); }//End of try{} catch (Exception eio) {…} String[] retstring=new String[2]; retstring[0]=stdout; retstring[1]=stderr; return retstring; } //End of method WSDL Example: Job Submission Our example is a simple service that can execute remote commands (local on the server). Service implementation (in Java) has a single method • ExecLocal takes a single string argument (the command to be executed) • returns a string array (with standard out and error). In this case the WSDL interface is mapped to a Java interface. The Full WSDL The following slide contains the WSDL definition for the Job Submit service. • Some data definitions are omitted. As you can see, WSDL is very verbose • Typically, you don't write WSDL • The WSDL file is generated from the Java class by Apache Axis. We will go through the parts of the doc in some detail. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <wsdl:definitions> … </wsdl:definitions> <wsdl:message name="execLocalCommandResponse"> … <wsdl:message name="execLocalCommandRequest"> … <wsdl:portType name="SJwsImp"> <wsdl:operation name="execLocalCommand"> <wsdl:input message="impl:execLocalCommandRequest" name="execLocalCommandRequest"/> <wsdl:output message="impl:execLocalCommandResponse" name="execLocalCommandResponse"/> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:portType> <wsdl:binding name="SubmitjobSoapBinding" type="impl:SJwsImp"> <wsdlsoap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/> <wsdl:operation name="execLocalCommand"> <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction=""/> <wsdl:input name="impl:execLocalCommandRequest"> <wsdl:output name="impl:execLocalCommandResponse"> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding> <wsdl:service name="SJwsImpService"> <wsdl:port binding="impl:SubmitjobSoapBinding" name="Submitjob"> </wsdl:service> </wsdl:definitions> WSDL Elements: Types, Messages Types: describes custom XML data types used in messages (optional). • We'll see an example for defining arrays. Message: abstractly defines the messages that need to be exchanged. • Each method/function in the interface contains 0-1 request and 0-1 response messages. • Each message consists of part elements. Usually you need one part for each variable sent or received. Parts can either be XML primitive types or custom complex types. Types for Job Submission The job submission service receives a string (the command) and returns a 2-elements array. Strings are XML Schema primitive types, so we don't need a special definition in our WSDL. Arrays are not primitive types. They are defined in the SOAP encoding schema, so we will import the definition of this XML schema. • In other words, SOAP has rules for array encoding; simple XML has not. WSDL types for Custom Data Definition <wsdl:definitions> <wsdl:types> <schema targetNamespace="http://.../GCWS/services/Submitjob" xmlns:impl="http://.../GCWS/services/Submitjob" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" > <import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" /> <complexType name="Array_of_string"> <complexContent> <restriction base="soapenc:Array"> <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="xsd:string[]" /> </restriction> </complexContent> </complexType> </schema> </wsdl:types> </wsdl:definitions> Inserting a Type We start with some useful namespace definitions. We next import the soap encoding schema • It has the array definitions we need. • import means a simple cut-and-paste of the entire soap encoding XML schema. Finally, we define our own local XML complex type, Array_of_string. • This extends the SOAP array type • We restrict this to String arrays Message Elements Our service implementation has one method: public String[] execLocalCommand(String cmd) This will require one "request" message and one "response" message. Each message has one part: • Request message must send the String cmd. • Response must get back the String[] array (defined previously as a custom type). If we had to pass two input variables, our "request" message would need two part elements. Note: the name attributes of messages are important, because they are referred later! Message Examples for Job Submission Service <wsdl:message name="execLocalCommandRequest"> <wsdl:part type="xsd:string" /> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:message name="execLocalCommandResponse"> <wsdl:part type="impl:Array_of_string" /> </wsdl:message> portTypes portType elements map messages to operations. You can think of • portType==class • operation==method Operations can contain input, output, and fault bindings for messages. An operation may support one of the following message styles: • One-way: request only • Two-way: request/response • Solicit-response: server "push" and client response • Notification: one-way server push portType for JobSubmit We previously defined the messages and types needed. Now we bind them into the portType structure. PortType names are important • They will be referenced by binding element. Note: names of previously defined messages are used as references in the operations. portType definition <wsdl:portType name="SJwsImp"> <wsdl:operation name="execLocalCommand"> <wsdl:input message="impl:execLocalCommandRequest" name="execLocalCommandRequest" /> <wsdl:output message="impl:execLocalCommandResponse" name="execLocalCommandResponse" /> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:portType> Some Notes on the PortType Definition PortTypes refer to messages by name • The message attributes in <input> and <output> elements of <operation> refer to the name attributes of the previously defined messages. • The operation and portType names will similarly be used for reference in forthcoming tags. PortType Bindings portTypes are abstract interface definitions. • portTypes don't say anything about how to invoke a remote method. Remote invocations are defined in binding elements. WSDL specification provides different types of bindings: • SOAP (default) • HTTP • MIME (e-mail) SOAP Bindings for JobSubmit Service Note that the binding element contains a mixture of tags from different namespaces (wsdl and wsdlsoap). WSDL child elements for binding element are operation, input, and output. WSDLSOAP elements give instructions to map WSDL to the protocol of choice (SOAP in this case). The binding element name is important, it will be used as a reference by port definitions. <wsdl:binding name="SubmitjobSoapBinding" type="impl:SJwsImp"> <wsdlsoap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" /> <wsdl:operation name="execLocalCommand"> <wsdl:input name="execLocalCommandRequest"> <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ namespace="http://.../GCWS/services/Submitjob" use="encoded" /> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output name="execLocalCommandResponse"> <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ namespace=http://.../GCWS/services/Submitjob use="encoded" /> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding> A Closer Look at SOAP Binding <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ namespace=http://.../GCWS/services/Submitjob use="encoded"/> All this really means is "encode the message with the rules in encodingStyle and put it in the SOAP body." The bindings are just instructions that must be implemented by the SOAP message generator. Service and Port Definitions We have defined the class interfaces (portTypes) and the rules for binding to a particular protocol. port elements define how the bindings (and thus the portTypes) are associated with a particular server. The service element collects ports. Service and Port Elements for the Job Submission Service <wsdl:service name="SJwsImpService"> <wsdl:port binding="impl:SubmitjobSoapBinding" name="Submitjob"> <wsdlsoap:address location="http://.../GCWS/services/Submitjob" /> </wsdl:port> </wsdl:service> Explanation Note that the port element's binding attribute points to the appropriate binding element by name. The only purpose of the port element is to point to a service location (a URL). Ports are child elements of the service element. A service can contain one or more ports. • a single portType may correspond to several ports, each with a different protocol binding and service address. Simple Object Access Protocol A message format for exchanging structured, typed information SOAP Basics SOAP is a format of XML messages for exchanging structured, typed data. SOAP is not a transport protocol. You must attach your message to a transport mechanism like HTTP. SOAP Structure A SOAP message is contained in an envelop. The envelop element in turn contains (in order) • An optional header with one or more entries. • A body element that contains the XML messages. SOAP Headers Headers are really just extension points where you can include elements from other namespaces. • i.e., headers can contain arbitrary XML. Header entries may optionally have a mustUnderstand attribute. • mustUnderstand=1 means the message recipient must process the header element. • If mustUnderstand=0 or is missing, the header element is optional. SOAP Body The body contains the XML message that you are transmitting. The message format is not specified by SOAP. • The <Body></Body> tag pairs are just a way to notify the recipient that the actual XML message is contained there. • The recipient decides what to do with the message. Developing Web Services Using Apache Axis to develop Java implementations of Web services. Web Service Development Tools Web service toolkits exist for various programming languages: • C++,Python, Perl, Microsoft .NET We'll concentrate on building Java Web services with Apache Axis. Apache Axis Overview Apache Axis is a toolkit for converting Java applications into Web services. Axis service deployment tools allow you to publish your service in a particular application server (Tomcat). Client side: Axis client tools allow you to convert WSDL into client "stubs" (or "proxies"). Server side: Axis runtime tools accept incoming SOAP requests and redirect them to the appropriate service. Developing and Deploying a Service Download and install Tomcat and Axis. Write a Java implementation • Our SubmitJob is a simple example. • Compile it with Tomcat. Write a deployment descriptor (WSDD) for your service. • It will be used by Axis runtime to direct SOAP calls. Use Axis tools to install your WSDD file. • It tells the axis servlet to load your class and direct SOAP requests to it. That's it. • Axis will automatically generate the WSDL for your service. Sample WSDD <deployment name="Submitjob" xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java"> <service name="Submitjob" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="scope" value="request"/> <parameter name="className" value="WebFlowSoap.SJwsImp"/> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="execLocalCommand"/> </service> </deployment> Effect Axis will create a service called • http://your.server/services/SubmitJob WSDL for service is available from • http://your.server/services/SubmitJob?wsdl A list of all services is available from • http://your.server/services WSDL generated starting from the Java implementation. Building a Client with Axis Obtain the WSDL file. Generate client stubs • Stubs look like local objects • They convert method invocations into SOAP messages. Write a client application with the stubs • Can be a Java GUI, a JSP page, etc. Compile everything and run. Sample Java Client Code /**Create SubmitJob client object and point to the service you want to use */ SubmiJob sjws = new SubmitJobServiceLocator().getSubmitjob(new URL(http://your.server/services/SubmitJob)); /** Invoke the method as if local. */ String[] messages = sjws.execLocalCommand(command);
