MyEclipse: Re-Naming EAR and WAR deployment archives/folders
- May 03, 2007 - 07:40 PM
Post subject:
Re-Naming EAR and WAR deployment archives/folders
I recently needed to create an EAR for my web application so I could take advantage of virtual hosting provided with JBoss/Tomcat.
Previously when I deployed WARs to Tomcat I was able to specify the context name, which was used for exploded deployments but I needed to edit the .mymetadata file to change the archive name for packaged views so it used the context name as the archive name rather than the project name as the archive name. This worked well for me.
Now that I am deploying EARs I am running into the same problem only I cannot change the default name of the either the exploded or archived EAR. The default for EARs is to use the project name. As with the WARs I edited the .mymetadata file to change the EAR archive name to something more appropriate but MyEclipse will not use the archive name I specify either for exploded or packaged deployments. In addition, I needed to modify the EAR .mymetadata file to change the included WAR archive name, otherwise MyEclipse would use the Web project name, this does work. To get around the problem with the EAR I am exporting it to my application server rather than deploying it.
I read through the forums and it seems that users have been complaining about this for several years, at least as far back as 2004.
I am sure this convention may have been adopted to provide defaults but could you also provide the ability to override the default, either by using the values specified in the .mymetadata file, or better yet, providing some screens in the project properties that allow modifying the values. I do not want to name my projects something more cryptic than verbose because the tool I use cannot handle it when it comes time to deploy.

I also just thought of another thing. When setting up web projects to include library projects it would be nice to specify the JAR name that is included in the web projects WEB-INF/lib folder. Right now MyEclipse uses the project name converted to lower case.

You are right that the first issues *is* a feature we have been needing to add for a long time, but keeps getting bumped for higher priority items. I'm going to add your comments to the issue and see if we can bump it up. I'm really sorry about this inconvenience.
- May 07, 2007 - 05:07 PM
Post subject:
Developing this feature would really help using MyEclipse for deployment. The way I set it, Eclipse in general is not well suited to making deployments without the assistance of some other build tool, like Ant. MyEclipse brings some new features to support the development life-cycle, the biggest to me is brainless debugging my web app in the app server of my choice. However, there is a gap between using Eclipse for development and for deployment. Within MyEclipse you need to setup your web application source as if you were editing the deployment in place. This is a major drawback and the reason you need something like Ant.
If I have code that changes by environment I cannot swap the code I want in and out of my source tree, well becasue, it needs to be in the source tree as it is source. I have gotten around this using custom Spring placeholder classes and custom context loaders that are environment specific. Using these custom classes I only need to create one build for all environments and then only specify a environment discriminator so that the application only uses properties and context files based on the current environment.
The problem I still have is building different versions of the same source for distribution in dependent projects. For example, my services project provides a well defined interface for clients and the complete implementation of that interface. When deploying the service as a POJO I need to JAR the entire project. When deploying it as a remote service, I only need to deploy the interface. Right now I am forced to deploy the entire service project in all usage cases. The only way around this, that I can currently foresee, is to split my service interface out into its own project. This would allow me to use Eclipse dependencies as I do now at a more fine-grained level (fine-grained here using boulder sized grains).
Let me use those immortal words of death, "It would be nice if..." MyEclipse dependency management was more configurable. I know I have the manual option but I am addicted to the deployment button. I know I can still debug in MyEclipse even if I use Ant to deploy. It just seems like a disconnect to use both Ant and MyEclipse for deployment. I guess Ant would actually give me the added deployment flexibility but then I would basically need to stop using the deploy button.
In the end I guess there are enough ways to get around this issue. However, the ways things are now just feels wrong to me.

+1 for this feature request. It hasn't been a big deal in previous projects that were smaller and simpler, but we're working on some more EAR projects and not being able to control the archive name is a headache. Particularly since JBoss uses the archive name as the prefix for the JNDI name of EJBs it deploys.
- Nov 21, 2007 - 05:28 PM
Post subject:
IronDuck, management marked it for 6.1 and I'm going to try and sit on someone's head until it gets done if possible.
- Nov 21, 2007 - 05:54 PM
Post subject:
Sitting on heads to get features implemented! That is an interesting approach.
- Nov 21, 2007 - 06:21 PM
Post subject:
Sometimes we have to get creative on the support team :)
- Mar 04, 2008 - 10:59 PM
Post subject:
Can we get an update on how well the head-sitting went? I found a related bug just recently. If a project name contains a period (.) then MyEclipse does not append .ear or .jar or .war to the directory/archive when it performs a deployment. This causes the deployment to fail on JBoss. Our convention is to include the version in the project name (e.g. My Project 1.0) so this is a major issue for us.
- Mar 04, 2008 - 11:16 PM
Post subject:
IronDuck, I just checked our issue tracker and management has targetted it for 6.5 because I threatened to drown myself in my coffee, if it gets descoped I'll let you know but I really want to get it in if I can.
- May 18, 2008 - 01:38 PM
Post subject:
I don't see any obvious way to specify the archive name when deploying in 6.5M1 :(
Did it get descoped?
- May 19, 2008 - 05:18 PM
Post subject:
It's still scoped, but I don't know if it will make the cut or not. The Maven2 work going into the 6.5 release is touching all aspects of packaging, building and project deployment which this change touches as well; management might push it off to focus on the Maven changes exclusively for 6.5 to keep changes more manageable at this point. We also have the GA release in a few weeks to get ready.
- May 20, 2008 - 01:55 AM
Post subject:
Well, I'm glad to hear that you haven't had to drown yourself in coffee, but I would very much like to see this feature sooner rather than later. I had to put a whole bunch of ant nonsense in my last project to be able to build for deployment and still let MyEclipse do it's thing on the development side.
- Jun 25, 2008 - 12:39 PM
Post subject:
Doesn't look like this made it into 6.5. Any hope for 6.5.1?
- Jun 25, 2008 - 06:27 PM
Post subject:
IronDuck not ETA from management on this one. I hate being the bearer of bad news each release because so much good work goes into these... I'll see what I can do for 7.0, but no promises.
- Oct 09, 2008 - 01:19 PM
Post subject:
Doesn't look like this made it into 7.0 M1 or M2. Any word from the bureaucrats?
- Dec 16, 2008 - 03:29 AM
Post subject:
So, we missed 7.0 - is this still on the roadmap?
- Dec 16, 2008 - 07:02 PM
Post subject:
It's still on there, and I still pester for it with every release. I don't have the power to promise a target release for it, just that I keep pushing... and pushing... and pushing.
- Oct 13, 2011 - 11:33 PM
Post subject:
This still doesn't appear to be implemented in 9.1. So I guess we all need to stop putting periods in our project names. :(

Still Not Available
This 'feature' is still not available in Blue 10.6. The Module Projects view says it's going to honor your Archive name, and does for pure eclipse EAR exports, but when you do a deployment (packaged or exploded) the project name is still used for the WAR instead of the EAR. This is a major mess for our developers since our EAR and WAR projects use the same name for deployment (myapp.ear and myapp.war), but obviously that isn't allowed in the workspace.
- Sep 26, 2012 - 01:02 PM
Post subject:
I could not replicate the issue at my end on MyEclipse Blue 10.6 and WAS 7/8.
I modified the archive names from the Add and Remove Modules dialog (Right click on the EAR > MyEclipse > Add and Remove modules).
Attached is the screenshot for your reference.
If this is not the issue you are seeing, then please give us steps in detail to help us replicate the issue at our end.
- Feb 13, 2013 - 03:21 AM
Post subject:
This seems still be an issue.
The only way that I found to change the name of the war file is by changing the archive name in .mymetadata of the war project. But again, it only works for the ear export. When MyEclipse deploys the ear (either exploded archive or packaged mode) it still uses the war project name for the war.
I also didn't found a way to modify the resulted ear file name - same issues as with the war (projects name is being used).

Lots of teens think that arthritis is something only their grandparents get, but it's actually a condition that affects people of all ages. Read on to find out about juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, a specific kind of arthritis that usually occurs in people under age 17.
The term rheumatoid (pronounced: roo -mah-toid) refers to diseases that affect the muscles, tendons, joints, bones, or nerves. Arthritis is an inflammation (which means that it's characterized by heat, swelling, and pain) of the synovial (pronounced: suh- no -vee-ul) membrane (the lining of the joints, such as the knees or knuckles). When the synovium becomes inflamed, fluid is produced, and the joints can become stiff, swollen, painful, and warm to the touch.
About 285,000 kids and teens in the United States have some form of arthritis. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is the most common kind of arthritis among kids and teens. Usually diagnosed between the ages of 2 and 16, it's also called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) because it is different from adult rheumatoid arthritis.
Symptoms of JRA can come and go many times over the course of the condition. Although JRA mostly affects the joints and surrounding tissues, it can also affect other organs, like the eyes, liver, heart, and lungs. JRA sometimes causes only minor symptoms and problems, but in some cases it can cause serious joint damage or limit growth .
Kids and teens with JRA may have pain and stiffness that can change from day to day or from morning to afternoon. Flares are periods of time when the condition becomes more active and symptoms worsen.
JRA is a chronic condition, meaning it usually lasts for a relatively long period of time (at least 6 weeks or more) and can last for months and years. Sometimes the signs and symptoms just go away on their own, which is called remission. Remission may last for months, years, or for a person's lifetime. In fact, many teens with JRA eventually enter full remission with little or no permanent joint damage.
The three major types of JRA are:
Although scientists don't know the exact causes of JRA yet, much research is being done on JRA and other forms of arthritis. They do know that JRA involves abnormalities of the immune system, which defends our bodies against germs , such as bacteria and viruses.
When the immune system isn't working properly - as in a condition like JRA, for example - it has difficulty telling the difference between germs and the body's own tissues. This confusion causes the immune system to mount an attack and release chemicals that actually damage the body's own healthy tissues. This results in the type of inflammation that causes the symptoms of JRA.
It is also known that JRA is not contagious. You can't catch it from someone else or pass it along to another person the way you might a cold or other infection.
JRA can be difficult to diagnose. All forms of this type of arthritis involve inflammation, but they also cause a variety of symptoms and require different kinds of treatment. No single test can diagnose all the forms of JRA and other types of arthritis. The doctor will do a complete physical examination to detect joint swelling, eye problems, and rashes. He or she may do blood tests, X-rays, and, in some cases, may use a needle to take a sample of synovial (joint) fluid for examination.
The doctor may need to follow the course and symptoms of a person with JRA for several months to determine the particular type the person has. The doctor will also take your medical history by asking you about any concerns and symptoms you have, your past health, your family's health, any medications you're taking, any allergies you may have, and other issues.
Certain infections, such as parvovirus infection and Lyme disease , have similar symptoms and may be mistaken for JRA. These possibilities must be ruled out before a diagnosis of JRA can be confirmed.
When JRA is diagnosed early and treated appropriately, it can usually be managed effectively and damage to joints can be limited or prevented. Medical care is aimed at easing the symptoms of JRA and may include medications to reduce inflammation (like ibuprofen). Newer medications, such as methotrexate and etanercept, can keep the immune system in check and control the disease far better than was possible 10 or 15 years ago. Range-of-motion physical therapy (exercises that improve flexibility), and the use of heat can also help control symptoms. Surgery is very rarely needed to repair damaged joints.
If you have JRA, some mornings it may be hard to get out of bed. Maybe you reach for your sock on the floor, and you can't straighten your elbow or bend your knees. Or you touch your shoulder, and it feels tender, warm, and painful. Periods of inactivity, like sleeping for 8 hours, can be followed by stiffness.
It may be tempting to roll back into bed and sleep the day away. But this can make things worse. Even though you may feel lousy sometimes, you can help yourself feel better. Just as runners, bodybuilders, and other athletes do stretching exercises to warm up, you can use gentle massaging and stretching to help soothe the muscles and ligaments around your sore joints. Once you're up and moving, the discomfort usually lessens. Exercise can help keep full motion in your joints and strengthen your muscles and bones. A physical therapist can help you plan an effective exercise program to do at home.
Proper nutrition can improve your overall health, and a registered dietitian can help you to understand the basics of a healthy diet. For example, you might feel sick and unable to eat as much when you experience a flare. A dietitian can assist you in selecting foods that have a higher nutritional value to compensate for a poor appetite.
A positive mental outlook is just as important as exercise and a healthy diet. If you feel depressed or angry sometimes, talk to someone who can support you. Tell your parents, your doctor, or a friend about how you feel. Some teens with JRA become more comfortable with the condition by asking questions and learning as much as possible. It may also help to do simple things that we often take for granted. For example, each day try to schedule something to do that you enjoy and that makes you happy.
Most teens with JRA do the same stuff as other teens - they go to regular schools, help around the house, hang out with their friends, and are active physically, academically, and socially. Remember, your doctor and other medical professionals are there to support you and can help you manage the condition so that it has the least possible impact on your life.

"The original Corsair Graphite Series 600T proved to be a terrific case and deserved our recommendation due to its construction quality, number of features, and price. (There are cheaper mid-tower cases around, but not many have as many features and the same overall quality.) The white version of the 600T is, however, USD 20 more expensive, but allows you to add four 120 mm fans on the left-side panel. And, if you don't want a mesh on the side panel, you can simply use the transparent acrylic window that comes with the product. So, it is your call whether you want to pay this extra USD 20."

8.2.4 daisy-process-meta.xml reference
18.104.22.168 Overview
The daisy-process-meta.xml contains the Daisy process metadata. This
file is entirely optional, but will often be required to make meaningful usage
of a workflow process in Daisy. See
One of the important things the Daisy process metadata describes is which variables can be updated as part of the interaction with each task. Any variables not declared in the Daisy process metadata cannot be accessed (read or updated) through the Daisy workflow API (though they can be used internally in the process definition).
All elements in the Daisy process metadata file are optional. The process metadata file should be valid according to its XML schema, so no additional elements or attributes are allowed (if it's not valid, deploying the process archive will fail).
The XML Schemas for the workflow can be found in the Daisy source tree in the directory services/workflow/xmlschema-bindings/src
18.104.22.168 Basic form
The most simple, valid process metadata file consist of only a document element, as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <workflowMeta xmlns="http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0#workflowmeta" xmlns:wf="http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0#workflow"> </workflowMeta>
The following sections describe the information that can be added inside this document element. The order of the elements inside the document element doesn't matter. And every one of them is optional.
As you can see, the "workflow metadata namespace" has been declared as default namespace, because most of the workflow metadata elements fall into that namespace. We've also added a declaration of the workflow namespace, since a few elements of that namespace are reused (see selectionList).
22.214.171.124 Process label and description
These elements allow to specify a label and description for the process definition. If no label is specified, the process definition name (specified in processdefinition.xml) is used as label.
<workflowMeta xmlns="http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0#workflowmeta"> ... <description [i18n="true"]>...</description> </workflowMeta>
The i18n attribute indicates whether the content of the label or
description element is a resource bundle key, rather than the actual text. See
188.8.131.52 Resource bundles
Zero or more resource bundles can be specified which are searched to lookup internationalized texts.
For each resource bundle, only the base name should be specified, without a directory path. The resource bundles are always retrieved from the i18n subdirectory in the process archive.
Having multiple resource bundles can be useful when sharing sets of messages between multiple process definitions.
For more details on resource bundles see
<workflowMeta xmlns="http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0#workflowmeta"> <resourceBundles> <resourceBundle>...</resourceBundle> [... more resource bundles ...] </resourceBundles> </workflowMeta>
188.8.131.52 Reusable variables declarations
As detailed in the section on variables, for each task in a process it is possible to specify some variables that can be communicated to the user.
Often the same variable will be re-used by multiple tasks, therefore it is possible to declare reusable variables.
Variables can belong to the global scope or a task specific scope. For the global scope, it is mandatory to declare the variable here, in order to avoid conflicting variable definitions.
See variables for the variable-declaration syntax.
<workflowMeta xmlns="http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0#workflowmeta"> <variables> [... some variable declarations ...] </variables> </workflowMeta>
188.8.131.52 Nodes
For each node in the process definition, some metadata can be specified. Currently this is only the labels for the transitions of each node.
<workflowMeta xmlns="http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0#workflowmeta"> <nodes> <node path="..."> <transition name="..."> ... </transition> [... more transitions ...] </node> [... more nodes ...] </nodes> </workflowMeta>
The path attribute of the node element contains the fully qualified node name, which is:
parent node name + "/" + node name
For the common case of a normal top-level node (such as the start node), this means just the node name.
220.127.116.11 Tasks
For each task in the process definition, some metadata can be specified:
a label and description for each task
the variables that can be updated through this task
For the syntax for declaring variables inside the <variables> element, see variables, this syntax is the same as for the reusable variable declarations.
<workflowMeta xmlns="http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0#workflowmeta"> <tasks> <task name="..."> ... <description [i18n="true"]>...</description> <variables> [... variable declarations ...] </variables> </task> [... more tasks ...] </tasks> </workflowMeta>
184.108.40.206 Variables
Process variables allow to store state information in process instances. Together with the execution path(s), they are what make one process instance different from another.
In the Daisy Workflow API, variables are updated as part of task interactions. Only the variables declared in the Daisy process metadata are accessible, it is not possible to access other arbitrary variables.
The syntax for declaring a variable is shown below. Everything except for the name and type attributes is optional.
<variable name="..." type="string|daisy-link|long|date|datetime|actor|boolean|user" scope="task|global" [optional, default task] required="true|false" [optional, default false] readOnly="true|false" [optional, default false] hidden="true|false" [optional, default false] base="[name of a reusable variable]"> ... <description [i18n="true"]>...</description> <selectionList> [ see details below ] </selectionList> <initialValueScript> [ see details below ] </initialValueScript> <styling> [ see details below ] </styling> </variable>
18.104.22.168.1 type attribute
The following table lists the types of process variables supported by Daisy. This means these are the types of variables which can be updated through the Daisy API, and are supported in the Daisy Wiki frontend. Inside the process definitions, variables can be assigned to any type supported by jBPM.
Name |
value Java class |
string |
java.lang.String |
daisy-link |
long |
java.lang.Long |
date |
java.util.Date |
datetime |
java.util.Date |
actor |
boolean |
java.lang.Boolean |
user |
Below some more information on the Daisy-specific ones
188.8.131.52.1.1 daisy-link
This type of variable points to a Daisy document variant (identified by the triple {documentId, branch, language}). It can optionally point to a specific version of the document variant (identified by a version number or the special values 'live' or 'last').
188.8.131.52.1.2 actor
This type of variable contains an "actor", which is either a specific user or
one or more workflow pools. This type of variable is useful to use in the
assignment of tasks (see
220.127.116.11.1.3 user
This type of variable points to a specific user.
220.127.116.11.2 Reserved Daisy variables
Daisy defines some preserved context variables which have a special meaning. Their names all begin with "daisy_". The "daisy_" prefix should not be used for naming your own variables.
Variable name |
scope |
type |
daisy_document |
global |
WfVersionKey |
daisy_creator |
global |
WfUserKey |
daisy_owner |
global |
WfUserKey |
daisy_description |
global |
string |
daisy_site_hint |
global |
string |
22.214.171.124.2.1 daisy_document
While it is possible to define as many variables pointing to documents as you desire, the one called "daisy_document" is used to store the primary document with which the workflow is associated.
This variable has influence on the
In the Daisy Wiki, this variable is automatically initialized with the document that was active when starting the workflow.
184.108.40.206.2.2 daisy_description
This variable is used as a description of the workflow process, its value is shown in the various overview lists in the Daisy Wiki.
18.104.22.168.2.3 daisy_owner and daisy_creator
These variables gets automatically initialized by Daisy (with as value the
current user) when a process instance is created. The daisy_creator is simply
used to remember who created the workflow, and should never be changed. The
daisy_owner variable indicates the owner of the process, which is a user who has
some additional privileges (see
126.96.36.199.2.4 daisy_site_hint
If this variable is present on the start state task, the Daisy Wiki will automatically put the name of the current site in it. This is useful in the task notification mails, to add an URL containing the original site name. This variable is usually declared as hidden variable.
126.96.36.199.3 scope attribute
In jBPM, variables can be bound to the tokens (the root token or other ones -- note that 'token' is called 'execution path' in the Daisy API) and to tasks. It is possible to have variables with the same name but bound to different scopes.
In the Daisy Workflow API, two variable scopes are supported:
the "global" scope: associates variables with the root token
the "task" scope: associates variables with specific tasks
Variables in with global scope should always be declared as part of the reusable variable declarations and than reused in specific tasks, this to avoid conflicts in types.
220.127.116.11.4 base attribute
The base attribute is used to refer to a reusable variable declaration. When using the base attribute, usage of any other attributes is optional. So one can write:
<variable base="myVar"/>
It is however possible to customize the reused variable. The attributes and child elements can be overriden simply by specifying them. For example suppose the reusable variable is non-required, than it can be made required like this:
<variable base="myVar" required="true"/>
188.8.131.52.5 hidden attribute
Through the Daisy workflow API, it is only possible to update variables that are declared in the metadata. Sometimes you might which to have a variable programmatically available, without it being visible to the user. In that case the hidden attribute can be used.
It is recommended to make hidden variables non-required (which is the case by default), since the user is not able to enter a value for them.
220.127.116.11.6 selectionList element
A selection list allows the user to choose a value from a list instead of having to type it. The syntax for defining a selection list is as follows:
<selectionList> <listItem> [just one of the following, depending on the variable type] <wf:string>...</wf:string> <wf:date>...</wf:date> <wf:dateTime>...</wf:dateTime> <wf:long>...</wf:long> [an optional label] ... </listItem> [... more list items ...] </selectionList>
Note that the value-tags (wf:string, wf:date, etc) are in the "wf" (workflow) namespace, rather than in the workflow metadata namespace. This is because the definition of these elements is shared with other parts of the workflow XML Schema.
As an example, here is (a part of) the selection list of the priority field:
<selectionList> <listItem> <wf:long>4</wf:long> variable.priority.low </listItem> <listItem> <wf:long>3</wf:long> variable.priority.normal </listItem> <listItem> <wf:long>2</wf:long> variable.priority.high </listItem> </selectionList>
22.214.171.124.7 initialValueScript element
The initialValueScript element can contain a script that returns a default value for the variable. This is only relevant for variables associated with the start-state task, since the workflow is then not started yet (defaulting of variables for further tasks can be done inside the process definition).
The script should be written in Javascript and return a value of a type corresponding to the type of this variable. The script has access to the following variables:
contextDocKey: if the workflow is started in the context of a certain document, this variable points to a WfVersionKey object specifying that document (this is the same document that will be put in the daisy_document variable).
repository: the Repository object for the current user
wfRepository: the Repository object for the special workflow user (= a repository with Administrator rights)
repositoryManager: the RepositoryManager, allowing to retrieve any Repository
In case you simply want to initialize a variable with a fixed value, the script can contain just a return statement, for example:
<initialValueScript> return "default value"; </initialValueScript>
Initial value scripts however allow to do more interesting things. Here is an example for the "priority" variable that changes the priority according to the document type.
<initialValueScript> var priority = new java.lang.Long(3); // 3 is normal priority if (contextDocKey != null) { try { var doc = repository.getDocument(contextDocKey.getVariantKey(), false); var docTypeName = repository.getRepositorySchema(). getDocumentTypeById(doc.getDocumentTypeId(), false).getName(); if (docTypeName == "News") { priority = new java.lang.Long(1); // 1 is highest priority } } catch (e) { // something failed (e.g. no access to document), ignore } } return priority; </initialValueScript>
Here is an example of initializing an actor-type variable. This example initializes it to contain all pools.
<initialValueScript> var pools = repository.getExtension("WorkflowManager").getPoolManager().getPools(); var poolIds = new java.util.ArrayList(pools.size()); for (var i = 0; i < pools.size(); i++) { poolIds.add(new java.lang.Long(pools.get(i).getId())); } return new Packages.org.outerj.daisy.workflow.WfActorKey(poolIds); </initialValueScript>
18.104.22.168.8 styling element
The styling element allows to specify styling hints for the frontend. The exact available styling hints and their meaning depends on the frontend, therefore the schema allows any attributes and child content on the styling element, so that it can be flexibly extended.
Currently supported by the Daisy Wiki frontend are:
attribute width: size of the input field (e.g. 10em)
attribute rows: to enable multi-line input (textarea in HTML), its value is the number of rows you want displayed.
- attribute display: only for variables with type actor. The possible values are 'user', 'pool', 'both'. 'user' will only show user selection, 'pool' will only show pool selection and 'both' which is the default will give the user the choice of either a user or pools.
Example to display a variable as a textarea:
<styling width="10em" rows="3"/>

Written by David Carradine, August 2007
Okay, I'm back. I've been missing in action for a month. I had to take a breather. There's a lot happening for me right now, and by association, with the martial arts world. Kill Bill, Volume 2 is finally about to be released (will have been by the time this is printed). Timed to coincide with that are the DVD releases of the first season of the original Kung Fu series, and three of my instructional videos. I'm up to my ears with interviews and photo shoots.

When Carl Pelini arrived at Florida Atlantic straight from being the defensive coordinator at Nebraska — a program that had the top-ranked defense in the nation during his tenure — he wasn't concerned about being a college football head coach for the first time.
Nor was Pelini worried about stepping into the cleats of legendary coach Howard Schnellenberger, who started the Owls program and retained the head coaching position for a decade.
"We wear different shoe sizes, so I'm not wearing his shoes," the 46-year-old Pelini said. "I don't think at all about that. We're different people, and we coach different ways. I just do things as good as I think I can do it."
It didn't take Pelini long to have a first impression of the Owls. He quickly saw the need to change the culture of the team.
Pelini's first mission: Turn the team into a band of brothers. At the start of preseason practice this summer, Pelini saw a group of guys who loved football but were missing that all-for-one mentality required for success.
"I got the feel when I got here that it was almost a commuter program," Pelini said. "Guys would come in, practice, and they were gone. We've been able to develop some pretty good chemistry on this team, and I see it coming together."
The players, who are determined to improve from a disheartening 1-11 season last year, immediately responded to Pelini's style of coaching.
When asked the biggest difference between last year and this year coming out of preseason camp, senior linebacker David Hinds — who played for Miami Edison High and led the Owls in tackles last season (110) — immediately brought up team morale.
"We're family," Hinds said. "The bond that the team and coaches have, the whole team as a group: We laugh together, we talk together. We have a fellowship with each other and have each other's back. We're always hanging together, and we used to have a lot of individuals."
Another change that players repeat like a mantra is that Pelini's preseason camp was far more strenuous and demanding than anything they've experienced in the past. Pelini has pushed them to make everything on the field happen at a faster pace.
The offense is moving the ball quicker and working toward reaching the end zone more efficiently. The defense is transitioning back to a 4-3 defense after a failed tryout of a 3-4 scheme in 2011.
Fifth year senior defensive tackle Jimmy Jean from Northeast High in Fort Lauderdale has taken a leadership role in making that change seamless.
"Way big difference," Jean said about the pace this year. "A lot of speed. A lot of tackling. Fast tempo. Carl Pelini sets a standard that we have to live up to. That's all he pounds on us: toughness, speed."
Pelini was hoping to have a preliminary depth chart by Aug. 20 but he said that changes were going to be made almost up until the first game against Wagner in Staten Island, N.Y., on Aug. 31.
One position Pelini was still referring to as "a good competition" at the end of preseason camp was starting quarterback. Last year's starter, senior Graham Wilbert, and backup, sophomore Stephen Curtis, have different strengths to bring the Owls.
Transfer junior Melvin German has yet to be cleared to play by the NCAA, but also could be in the mix.
"I think Graham Wilbert operates the offense very efficiently, and he'll get us out of bad situations; he always makes the right checks," Pelini said. "I think Stephen Curtis is getting much better in that respect and yet Stephen has an opportunity with his legs to get you out of a bad play — maybe by not making the best check every time but breaking on a scramble and running for 10 yards. And Melvin is still learning and I think he's really progressed and has a beautiful throwing motion, is a tremendous runner and has a great feel for the pocket."
The Owls are hoping to translate their preseason improvement into results during the season.
If they achieve their goal, they could become a serious factor in the Sun Belt Conference.
"We do everything around a standard and I expect that standard for everything we do," Pelini said.

Bought the grey pair and loved them...more than just a slipper...they can be worn outside, with shorts, jeans...casual to very casual...bought a second pair....even better...must have !!!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Doctj Must have
Im on my feet all day I struggled between crocs and dansko, new balance and reebok zigs and Nike shox. Either the shoe didn't fit right or it was too awkward in shape and was huge. I have flat feet and one foot is wider than the other. Tom's were great and comfortable except they didn't give good arch support and they had no insulation between my foot and the ground and towards the end of the day my feet were aching .
These shoes are perfect. They are comfortable. Have good support for arch, are cozy enough and not too tight. They have great insulation between your foot and the floor and even give a small height boost. If I step on something I won't feel it like I would in a normal slipper. Plus these have grip and are not slippery. I recommend these for anyone who stands on their feet a lot. I have Sperry casual shoes that are the same size so although you would expect these to run big because they are looser fitting "slippers" , for me they were size for size.

These help me comitt to my preppy life. everyone ask me "why spend so much on a pair of MOCS, when you can go get some for $10 at target?" I just tell them that these are the real deal because they are comfortable, stylish, and you can wear them with basically anything.

BY MELISSA LATERZA - Brian Corcoran, owner of The BRC Group LLC, Licensed Real Estate Broker Sales and Rentals in Boca Grande, grew up in Park Ridge, a suburban town in New Jersey located just outside of New York City. "Park Ridge was very community-minded with a small-town atmosphere," said Brian. "I had close friends that I met and have stayed close to my entire life. I lived in different cities, but stayed in Bergen County for 30 years."
Park Ridge wasn't the only small town Brian grew up loving.
It started with a whimper and ended with a whine. Tropical Storm Isaac, which many meteorologists thought would have a major impact on our area, has essentially passed us by without a hitch.

It's time for Mark Richt to get that huge win, but I just don't see it happening. I don't think the game will be a blowout, but I'm guessing that Alabama will feast on Georgia's mistakes. The funny thing about this game is that Georgia may have more NFL talent than Alabama...
Patriots Forum Hall of Fame Class of 2011
UGA. Fix is in to give ND the easiest shot.
Yeah Bama!!!! Tell me that wasn't a nailbiter of a game. Roll Tide!!!!

Georgia should have spiked the ball before that last pass. If they had, they'd have had time for two shots into the endzone
11.5 sacks
Bama wont run all over ND like they did Georgia but ND wont be able to completely shut Bama down. Plus that will open up a lot of play action and I expect McCarron to have a big game. I feel Bama can put up points on ND defense 21-28 pts...I dont think ND offense can put up the numbers against Bamas defense. If I had to predict a score. Id say 24-13 Bama.
Bama. BOOK IT

McMinnville woman fights off assailant; suspect in custody
Aug 21, 2013 | 2 Comments
News-Register Staff
A downtown store employee foiled an attempted sexual abuse on Wednesday, by screaming and fighting until her assailant fled, McMinnville police said.
Police have arrested Trinidad Dario Padilla, 44, of McMinnville in relation to the incident.
Padilla, who is on post-prison supervision for attempted first-degree rape, had been living in subsided housing at the jail. He has now been returned to jail on a charge of probation violation.
Police said they anticipate adding charges of attempted first-degree rape, kidnapping and sex abuse.
Padilla had apparently been watching the downtown McMinnville store and the employee for several days, police said. About 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, when the employee was alone, he entered the store, forced the woman into the back and tried to assault her. She screamed and fought until he fled, then she ran to a nearby store and called 911.
Police said the two do not appear to have known each other.
Police are withholding the name and address of the store to protect the woman's identity.
Anyone with additional information about the case is asked to call McMinnville police, at 503-434-7307.

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Panera Bread in June 2013.
Interview Details – Filled out application online and the hiring manager called me a few days later. I came in for the first interview with her and she asked me a ton of questions about myself, what I want to do after college, etc. Then she scheduled another interview for me with the general manager and it was very short, he just went over everything the hiring manager wrote down. He asked me the same questions she did, I guess to make sure my answers were the same.
Interview Question – When talking to the general manager he seemed very tough and strict, so it was hard to be myself when he was asking me questions. It was very intimidating. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – For the pay I told them $7.75 hourly was acceptable for me and the general manager actually gave my $8.00 hourly

She then said she would call me the next Wednesday for me to come in and fill out paperwork. I didnt get a call on Wednesday but I called her the next day, went in and filled out the paperwork. honestly it was a pretty easy interview, just smile and make eye contact.

Interview Details – Applied online the called the next day to schedule an interview. It was very laid back, I was so nervous since it was my first job interview but it was fine. They asked when I could work and why I wanted to work there. I was told that I would probably be hired and that the other manager had to interview me, I went for that interview and it was easy as well, I was asked how I work with people and what I would do if I had to work as another position and how fast and clean I am, also when I could work. Pretty easy questions. I was told I would get called in a few days because they had other interviews but I was called that day to come in for orientation.

Interviewed at Panera Bread
Interview Details –
Applied to work at a new store opening close to my house. Three weeks later I was contacted by the general manager that interviews were being conducted that week and was I available on Friday. I said that I was so showed up at the interview location and was treated to my first group interview. I wasn't prepared for this yet it was a great learning exercise.
After the group interviews were completed, one-on-one interviews were conducted. I was interviewed by one of the assistant managers who basically told me what the next steps were. At that point I knew I had the job but the general manager told us that they would be in contact with us on Monday. Later that day (Friday) I received a call welcoming me to the team.
Interview Question –
The first thing we were asked to do during the group interview was to describe our refrigerator and freezer. The hiring team went first to give us an idea of what they were looking for. The purpose of this exercise was to see how well you would be able to describe menu items to customers.
During the next part of the group interview we were split into groups of two. We were asked to pick a menu item and try to sell it to the hiring team using whatever format we wanted - dance, poetry, rapping, role playing, etc. This exercise was challenging since some of the interviewees had never eaten at Panera.

I applied online and the process took 4 days - interviewed at Panera Bread in December 2011.
Interview Details – One day after filling out the mindlessly repetitive online application, I recieved a call to come in for an interview. The interview was simple: when can you work, where have you worked, why do you like Panera? That was it. They assume you have already been eating there regularly even though most people applying for full-time work cannot really afford a $9 sandwich.
Interview Question – There were no difficult questions. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Not good-they tell you they start everyone at just above minimum wage but that you can get raises. Those "cost of living raises" are a true joke if not a slap in the face. Would NOT recommend.

Today's Daily App takes form creation out of the paperless world and into a virtual one. FormMobi for Android and iOS uses mobile devices to replace clipboards and paper forms.
Workflow technology developer FormMobi and its free like-named app have one goal: to simplify the process of creating and deploying forms. This is carried out by using handheld devices to route form-data via the Internet.
FormMobi is an app that provides a way to personalize or build forms for and from a mobile device. Once an online FormMobi account has been created, the service's online drag-and-drop components make it easy to build forms quickly. After the form has been created, it can be shared through the email addresses of others with FormMobi installed. A data connection is not needed to fill out forms, only to upload them to the cloud for future use.
FormMobi can scan barcodes and add photos and audio attachments, and a basic sketching feature simplifies sharing of floor plans with a team. FormMobi can also collect signatures, use check boxes and capture GPS coordinates. Data is stored in the cloud and can be exported to Excel, Word, PDF, XML and CSV files. A published API permits FormMobi to integrate with a company's existing data flow.

2007 Update to FFIEC Interagency Questions and Answers on Flood Insurance
Mr. Van Meter:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the "Interagency Questions and Answers Regarding Flood Insurance" (Interagency Q&A). I would like to comment on the definition of "improved real property" as defined in The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, and The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended (The Act) as well as the answer to Question 21 of the Interagency Q&A.
The Act defines the term "improved real estate" as real estate upon which a building is located. Under 42 USC Section 4012a.(b)(1), it goes on to say that "Each Federal entity shall by regulation direct regulated lending institutions not to make, increase, extend, or renew any loan secured by improved real estate or a mobile home located or to be located in an area that has been identified by the Director as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, unless the building or mobile home and any personal property securing such loan is covered for the term of the loan by flood insurance…"
Under Section V of the Interagency Q&A, Question 21 asks whether a lender is required to mandate flood insurance for such buildings a farmer would not replace if lost in a flood. The answer to the question is yes, with the following statement, "Under the Regulation, lenders must require flood insurance on real estate improvements when those improvements are part of the property securing the loan and are located in an SFHA in a participating community." This answer seems consistent with the definition of improved real estate under the Act.
When considering the definition of "improved real estate" and the answer to question 21, it could then be said that lenders do not need to require flood insurance on real estate improvements when the real property is not securing the loan unless it is a mobile home. For example, if a grain bin is securing the loan, but the property is not securing the loan, then the grain bin would not fall under the definition of improved real estate as defined by the Act, since the loan is not secured by real estate upon which a building is located. Very often, a UCC fixture filing is completed for loans secured by grain bins, so no real estate is taken as collateral.
Again, I thank you for the opportunity to comment.
