Reliving my favorite movie, Grease

2012-01-27T18:49:00.000-06:00

Guest post written by Kirk Grossman

I really love it when I get the chance to go and see a fun play with my loved ones. I've always been a huge theater fan. I don't get to go often enough for my taste, not even close to it, actually. But most of the time instead of going and seeing really big plays, I like to go and support local plays.

It never hurts that most of the time when I go and see a play locally, I know someone who's involved in it, or know someone who knows someone who's involved. I like to look online and find some local plays to go and see. While I was doing that a little while ago, I ran across some info for Miracle-Ear. After I looked through it some I decided to go and get fitted with some hearing aids, if anything to enjoy my plays even more.
I went and saw the Grease musical pretty recently and loved reliving one of my alltime favorite movies. There's just so much to love there and it really does make a great play too.

Different companies belonging to various industries rely on companies that produce quality o-rings.

Show your support for Walgreens

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Customers have been voicing out their dissatisfaction over the many inconveniences they undergo as a result of the termination of contract between Walgreens and Express Scripts. Express Script is a company that handles prescription drug benefits and claims for health insurers’ clients and employers while Walgreens is the nation’s largest drugstore chain. The contract between them expired last December 31 which means that as of January 1, 2012, Walgreens is no longer a part of Express Scripts’ network of pharmacy providers. The troops that have been serving the country, their families, military retirees and supporters are signing a petition that demands access to Walgreens for all their pharmacy services needs. Changing their pharmacists or traveling to another pharmacy instead to a conveniently located Walgreens branch has been causing considerable inconvenience to customers who have health plans under Express Scripts. If you are in the same situation, do not be afraid to voice out your dissatisfaction. Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens has been launched in an effort to provide customers with a more convenient and cost effective way of availing of any type of pharmacy services. Members can avail of huge savings on brand name and all generic medications as well as discounts on purchases of nebulizer and diabetic supplies. They can also avail of bonuses whenever they buy Walgreens brand products.

When I was a Kid

2011-12-28T09:01:00.002-06:00

Thanks to Erasmo Cortez
When I was just a kid we started going to the cabin for new year’s and we’ve continued the tradition ever since. I know my family likes to get together when they can for the holidays and now that I’m married with a family of my own they get to see their maternal grandparents and we usually just spend Christmas with Chris’ family. I love the tradition and I can’t wait to get up there – the cabin itself is so cozy and it’s got lots of rooms and dad says they’ve installed DIRECT TV which should make Chris happy so he can watch all the games. I just wish that time wasn’t moving so slowly because I can’t wait for another day off work and some major family time – my sisters are hilarious and we always have the best time when we get together. I also relish when the kids get to spend time with their cousins and there’s no better way for mom and dad to get to see all the grandkids at once.

Inheritance

2011-10-28T23:23:00.001-05:00

Thanks to Wm Rowe

I have never been close with my grandmother. I know it is sad to say, but she lives across the country from me, and since my father was not that close with his own mother, he never made a real effort to take me or my brother to see her. She recently passed away, and although she was a kind woman, we never really got to know each other like I would have liked. I regret now that I did not make the effort to see her more often. I come from a small family. My father is one of two children, and my uncle has never had children. My grandmother came from a wealthy family, and my grandfather, who passed away almost ten years ago, made a very good living working for BP. Because of all this, my grandmother left me a fairly large inheritance. My father, uncle, and brother received the rest of her estate. She broke up her estate between the four of us, and I feel almost guilty for receiving this money. It is a strange feeling to be given such a large sum of money by someone with whom you did not feel a strong kinship. As a brand-new college graduate, I have some small student loans I will pay off with the money. I am also looking into creating a portfolio to diversify my new funds. I went online to http://www.texaselectricityproviders.comand have decided to try a fixed-rate energy bill as well. I am thankful for my grandmother’s kindness, even if I did not know her as well as I would have liked.

Untitled Jersey City Project

This post brought to you by Untitled Jersey City Project. All opinions are 100% mine.

I just watched a youtube video about the Untitled Jersey City Project. This project is a unique experiment which is a work in progress television drama. It looks like the actors are pretty good, and I like the action sequences as well. This story takes place across the river from Manhattan, and it has the same kind of situations that many people love in a good show such as money, fame and power. You can watch these eight short episodes which are fragments of a larger story. Many of these episodes are unresolved, but will keep you watching. This show looks like a pretty entertaining drama which I am looking forward to watching. The acting is great, they have great action scenes, and the story line isn't the same old thing. It is refreshing to get a quality drama on television that has a story line that keeps you wanting more. If you like a good drama, you should checkout the sneak peek videos on youtube. You probably will want to set your DVR to record them so you don't miss any episode. I always enjoy shows that take place in New York because they usually have exciting action scenes. In this show, your favorite actor might even end up dead.

Have you seen the ads lately for Untitled Jersey City Project? You should watch the video, and let me know what you think about the show.

Nurse Uniform

I have a friend who has a great sense of fashion. She has an eye for what clothes would look good for a certain person. She knows which accessories would compliment a wardrobe and your overall look. Whenever we have an important occasion to attend, and I don’t know which clothes to wear, I would seek her opinion. What I particularly like about her sense of style is that she can make seemingly ordinary clothes look stylish. For her, being stylish doesn’t mean being over the top. I bet she can even make a nurse uniform stylish. Her family and all her friends are encouraging her to pursue a career in fashion.

Dad Needed Me

2011-07-04T23:29:00.001-05:00

Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel

Owning a hotel wasn’t exactly what my life plan was, but it turned out that was what was in the cards after I took over dad’s ailing business when he was too ill to work. It’s been quite the roller coaster over the last few years and though I love being home in New York, it’s been challenging at times. When I first got here the place was in total disarray and it’s taken me a lot of time to get it up and running again. I spent a long time doing things like researching www.newYORKenergyrates.com and looking into better vendors for all our cleaning supplies but I think I finally organized our spend each month so that we’re not in the red. Thankfully for me and my dad, I’ve got a keen business sense so if there’s some way I can help the family, this is definitely it! I guess I’ll learn to love owning my own business just as much as I love my old dad…both are an acquired taste, I guess you could say!

This post brought to you by Sauer Energy. All opinions are 100% mine.

The governments around the world should be looking into ways to save on energy. We have a huge problem with the rising cost of energy like increase gas prices that it is becoming harder to keep up. The cost of energy is growing faster than people's income. You should read some interesting information about the future of Energy. There are a lot of great articles about the benefits of Wind Power where you will discover how much it has been increasing around the world. The Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine is one way that will lower the cost of energy. It addresses some of the problems with wind turbines such as noise pollution, minimum blade speed threshold, bird endangerment and space limitation. If this technology lowers energy prices and doesn't cause any problems to the environment, I think more governments should start implementing it. We need to find out more ways to produce the energy we need. The great thing about the Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine is the face that it only takes 5 mph wind to turn the blade. So if you are interested in understanding better ways of producing energy, you need to checkout the Sauer Energy company and see how their VAWT technology can reduce the cost to produce energy.

Watching the Anime Network, On Demand

2011-05-03T23:18:00.002-05:00

The article written by Victor Flowers

As a big fan of Japanese animation, I was thrilled to learn that there was an Anime Network. All of a sudden it was like I had a library of anime shows in which to peruse. To even more of my delight, it turned out that the channel was free through the On Demand service from my www.direct.tv.

One of my favorite shows of the moment is called "High School of the Dead." The premise of the show has a deadly new disease that turns people into zombies spreading throughout the world. My first thought was that this sounded very much like "Resident Evil." Despite the unoriginality of the concept, the overreaching story is well done. Unlike "Resident Evil," the reactions of the characters are much more humanistic as the survivors deliberates over issues of survival versus and the ethics of killing what some of them still consider people. Some of whom are their classmates, teachers or friends. While most viewers probably prefer the action, I most enjoyed the ethical dilemmas and the very real way that each person seemed to handle being in such an outlandish, surreal situation. The setting takes place at Fujimi High School in Japan. Takashi Komuro, a student, tries to unite a small group of survivors as they try to escape the school and reach their respective families.

Java Out of Heap Space In Eclipse Galileo Tomcat

2011-02-24T13:38:00.000-06:00

If you get this error, it can be quite confusing where to increase the memory.

1) You can try and increase the memory in eclipse.ini file.
2) You can add -vmargs parameters when starting eclipse.
3) You can add -vmargs to your JVM when starting it.

I added the -vmargs to my eclipse.ini file and that didn't help. My application continued to get the Java Out of Heap Space error. I selected the properties on my eclipse shortcut and added the parameters there like so: C:\EclipseGalileo\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xms512M -Xmx512M. That actually increases eclipse heap space. You can check that by selecting windows->preferences->general and selecting show heap status. This will show you the heap space memory usage in the lower right hand corner of eclipse.

But, to prevent your application from running out of memory in Tomcat, you have to increase the parameters in your JVM. You can do that by selecting Windows->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs and select edit on your Installed JRE that you are using. I added -Xms512M -Xmx512M under the default VM arguments which solved my problem.

Groovy Optional Datatype Declaration (Duck Typing) Step 10

2010-10-05T23:29:00.000-05:00

Java is a statically typed language. That means that each variable has to have a datatype when you declare it. Groovy, on the other hand, allows you to define variables without a datatype.

For example:

def name='Greg' means that the variable name is a String. The keyword def means that it doesn't much care what type the variable is.

You can write,

def y="Hello"

String z="Hello"

println w.class

println w.class==x.class

Implementing Ajax using Struts Step 45

2010-09-22T08:00:00.000-05:00

When you enter your addBook page, make sure you have these methods in your addBook action class to load the category list.

List<Bookcategory> categoryList=service.getBookCategory();
userForm.setBookCategoryList(categoryList);

To test if your Ajax works, you would add this method to your action class.

public ActionForward saveBookAjax(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
StringBuffer buffer=new StringBuffer("");
buffer.append("This is Ajax Test");
response.setContentType("text/html");
try {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(buffer.toString());
out.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("Error getting Writer from response");
}
return null;
}

This method will print a string out to the response that will display on your JSP page using Ajax. You want to use the StringBuffer class because that is faster then concatenating a string with the + sign.

In your addbook.jsp page, you need to replace your submit button with this code.

<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="retrieveURL('UserAction.do?action=saveBookAjax','searchpane');"/></td></tr>

You are changing your button to be of type submit to type button. This way the button doesn't submit automatically. You now will not submit your form, but will use Ajax to display your data.

This button will call the Ajax method, and the Ajax method will return the html code from the server and set the data using the innerHTML command using the id of 'searchpane'.

When you submit your form, you should see, "This is Ajax Test" appear on the page.

Add Attachment in Java

2010-09-14T01:42:00.000-05:00

This is sample code to create an attachment using Java. You will use the Java Mail API to create attachments. The addAttachments method is the method you will use to create the attachments. You will pass in an array of paths that contain the location of your attachments, and Java will create the attachments for to send in the email.

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Properties;
public class MailClient
{
public void sendMail(String mailServer, String from, String to,
String subject, String messageBody,
String[] attachments) throws
MessagingException, AddressException
{
// Setup mail server
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", mailServer);
// Get a mail session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
// Define a new mail message
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject(subject);
// Create a message part to represent the body text
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText(messageBody);
//use a MimeMultipart as we need to handle the file attachments
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
//add the message body to the mime message
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// add any file attachments to the message
addAtachments(attachments, multipart);
// Put all message parts in the message
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send the message
Transport.send(message);
}
protected void addAtachments(String[] attachments, Multipart multipart)
throws MessagingException, AddressException
{
for(int i = 0; i<= attachments.length -1; i++ )
{
String filename = attachments[i];
MimeBodyPart attachmentBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
//use a JAF FileDataSource as it does MIME type detection
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
attachmentBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
//assume that the filename you want to send is the same as the
//actual file name - could alter this to remove the file path
attachmentBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
//add the attachment
multipart.addBodyPart(attachmentBodyPart);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
MailClient client = new MailClient();
String server="pop3.mydomain.com";
String from="myname@mydomain.com";
String to = "someuser@somewhere.com";
String subject="Test";
String message="Testing";
String[] filenames =
{"c:\somefile.txt"};
client.sendMail(server,from,to,subject,message,filenames);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
}

Buried Movie

2010-09-07T23:49:00.001-05:00

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of goviral. All opinions are 100% mine.

There is a new movie that is coming out called Buried about a truck driver who is buried alive. He doesn't remember how he got there, but it starts to come back to him over time. The only item he has is a lighter, a knife and a cell phone. He wakes up 6 feet underground and doesn't know how he got there. He instantly has to find out how to survive so he can get home to see his family. He is able to call outside to try and give people clues to his location. He has poor reception and a rapidly draining batter and his oxygen isn't going to last forever either. This movie first premiered at the Sundanced Film Festival and will be playing at the Deauville American Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival. This thriller is directed by Rodrigo Cortes and it is staring Ryan Reynolds, Anne Lockhart, and Ivano Mino. Ryan Reynolds played in movies such as The Proposal, National Lampoon's Van Wilder and Just Friends. So if you are looking for an exciting thriller to watch, you need to checkout Buried which I am sure you will enjoy. I know I am looking forward to watching it.

Adding Object to List using Ajax and Struts Step 49

2010-09-06T01:16:00.000-05:00

Now that you added the appropriate data to your url, you will need to grab that data from the server. You should add this code to your saveBookAjax method.

String bookname=request.getParameter("book");
String author=request.getParameter("author");
String publisher=request.getParameter("bookPublisher");
String category=request.getParameter("category");
userForm.setAuthor(author);
userForm.setBookPublisher(publisher);
userForm.setBook(bookname);
userForm.setCategoryId(category);
this.saveBook(mapping, form, request, response);

This code sets all the objects in the form just like you did when you submitted the form. Since you already have a method that creates the new book object, you can call the saveBook method to finish adding the book to the database.

2010-09-03T22:10:00.000-05:00

After you have installed Bugzilla, you can now start logging issues against your projects. (See my prior posts for installation instructions)

When you login using the default email address and password you assigned, you will arrive at the bugzilla welcome page. It will inform you that you should set some parameters first. You should select the parameter link and input any parameters you find important such as the default email address of the administrator.

To input a New Bug, you will select the New link at the top of Bugzilla. You can input all the required fields and even add an attachment for this bug. You would commit the issue and the person assigned to the bug should get an email.

You can create a new product by selecting administrator and select create product. This will allow you to create a product to seperate your issues. You can press Add to add a new product, and under the product, you can create a new component. You can input a default assignee and a person to be CCd by default.

If you want to edit your fields such as changing the severity values or OS values, you can do that by editing field values from the admin screen. You can also create a custom field by selecting custom field from the admin screen.
