Summary
This is the official 1.0 Release of Spree. This is a major release for Spree, and so backwards compatibility with extensions and applications is not guaranteed. Please consult the extension registry to see which extensions are compatiable with this release. If your extension is not yet compatible you should check back periodically since the community will be upgrading various extensions over time.
If you are upgrading from older versions of Spree you should perform a complete backup of your database before attempting. It is also recommended that you perform a test upgrade on a local development or staging server before attempting in your production environment.
Namespacing
A difficulty in previous versions of Spree was using it with existing applications, as there may have been conflicting class names between the Spree engines and the host application. For example, if the host application had a Product class, then this would cause Spree’s Product class to not load and issues would be encountered.
A major change within the 1.0 Release is the namespacing of all classes within Spree. This change remedies the above problem in the cleanest fashion possible.
Classes such as Product, Variant and ProductsController are now Spree::Product, Spree::Variant and Spree::ProductsController. Other classes, such as RedirectLegacyProductUrl, have undergone one more level of namespacing to more clearly represent what areas of Spree they are from. This class is now called Spree::Core::RedirectLegacyProductUrl.
Constants such as SpreeCore and SpreeAuth are now Spree::Core and Spree::Auth respectively.
Referencing Spree routes
In previous versions of Spree, due to the lack of namespacing, it was possible to reference routing helpers such as product_url as-is in the controllers and views of your application and send them to the ProductsController for Spree.
Due to the namespacing changes, these references must now be called on the spree routing proxy, so that Rails will route to Spree’s product_url, rather than a potential product_url within an application. Routing helpers referencing Spree parts must now be written like this:
spree.product_url
Conversely, to reference routes from the main application within a controller, view or template from Spree, you must use the main_app routing proxy like this:
main_app.root_url
If you encounter errors where routing methods you think should be there are not available, ensure that you aren’t trying to call a Spree route from the main application within the proxy prefix, or a main application route from Spree without the proxy as well.
Mounting the Spree engine
When rails g spree:install is run inside an application, it will install Spree, mounting the Spree::Core::Engine component by inserting this line automatically into config/routes.rb:
mount Spree::Core::Engine, at: "/"
By default, all Spree routes will be available at the root of your domain. For example, if your domain is http://shop.com, Spree’s /products URL will be available at http://shop.com/products.
You can customize this simply by changing the :at specification in config/routes.rb to be something else. For example, if your domain is http://bobsite.com and you would like Spree to be mounted at /shop, you can write this:
mount Spree::Core::Engine, at: "/shop"
The different parts of Spree (Auth, API, Dash & Promo) all extend the Core’s routes, and so they will be mounted as well if they are available as gems.
Spree Analytics
The admin dashboard has been replaced with Spree Analytics. This new service will provide deep insight\ into your store’s ecommerce performance and sales conversion funnel.
You will have to register your store with Spree Commerce. Then configure the Analytics Add On to generate your token. The token should be entered on the Admin Overview page.
The original dashboard has been extracted into the spree_dash gem .
Command line tool
We have moved the ‘spree’ command line tool to its own gem. This is the new recommended way for adding Spree to an existing Rails application. The tool will add the Spree gem, copy migrations, initializers and generate sample data.
To add Spree to a Rails application you do the following:
$ gem install spree $ rails new my_store $ cd my_store $ spree install
The extension generator has also been moved to this new tool.
$ gem install spree $ spree extension my_ext
Default Payment Gateways
The new Spree Command Line Tool prompts you to install the default gateways. This adds the spree\skrill and spree_usa_epay gems. These are the Spree Commerce supported gateways for stores in the United States (USA ePay) and Internationally (Skrill formally Moneybookers).
$ rails new my_store $ spree install my_store Would you like to install the default gateways? (yes/no) [yes]
We have moved all the gateways out of core (except bogus) to the Spree Gateway Gem. You can add this gem to your Gemfile if you need one of those gateways.
gem 'spree' # add to your Gemfile after the Spree gem gem 'spree_gateway'
The gateways available in the Spree Gateway Gem are community supported. These include Authorize.net, Stripe and Braintree and many other contributed gateways.
Preferences
We have refactored Spree Preferences to improve performance and simplify code for applications and extensions. The previous interfaces have been\ maintained so no code changes should be required. The underlying classes have been completely rewritten.
Please see the Spree blog for notes on this release.
Deprecated functions
Middleware
The lines for middleware in config/application.rb within a host application are now deprecated. When upgrading to Spree 1.0 you must remove these two lines from config/application.rb:
config.middleware.use "SeoAssist" config.middleware.use "RedirectLegacyProductUrl"
These two pieces of middleware are now automatically included by the
Spree::Core::Engine
.
Product
master_price, master_price=, variants?, variant are now officially retired. Please use Spree::Product#price, Spree::Product#price=, Spree::Product#has_variants? and Spree::Product#master respectively instead.
Spree::Config[:stylesheets]
Spree::Config
and stylesheet_tags
are removed in favor for the Rails
3.1 Asset Pipeline. See the Asset
Customization for more information.
Extensions looking to add stylesheets to the application should do so through the Asset Pipeline by making the extension an engine.
General deprecations
- Gateway.current is now deprecated. Use order.payment_method.gateway now. #747
Calculator
Calculator::PriceBucket is now renamed to Calculator::PriceSack
The PriceBucket contains Bucket keyword that conflicts with AWS::S3 library which has caused few issues with Heroku deployment. If you used this calculator in your application, then you will need to rename it to PriceSack.
Taxation
There have been several major changes to how Spree handles tax calculations. If you are migrating from an older version of Spree your previous tax configurations will not function properly and will need to be reconfigured before you can resume processing orders.
Be sure to backup your database before migrating. Your tax configuration will likely break after upgrading. You have been warned.
Zone#match now only returns the best possible match.
Previously the method would return an array of zones as long as the zone included the address. Now only the narrowest match is returned.
New Order#tax_zone
method
Will return the zone to be used for computing tax on the order. Returns the best possible zone match given the order address. In the absence of an order address it will return the default tax zone (if one is specified.)
Adjustments are now polymorphic
Previously the Adjustment
class belonged to just Order
. Now the
LineItem
class can have adjustments as well. This allows Spree to
store the amount of tax included in the price when prices include tax
(such as VAT case.)
New Order#price_adjustments
method
Convenience method for listing all of the price adjustments in the order. Price adjustments are tax calculations equivalent to the amount of tax included in a price. These adjustments are not counted against the order total but are sometimes useful for reporting purposes.
You don’t need to worry about price adjustments unless your prices include tax (such as the case with Value Added Tax.)
New Order#price_adjustment_totals
method
Convenient method for show the price adjustment totals grouped by similar tax categories and rates.
Removed helpers and javascript related to VAT
Prior to this version of Spree there were several helpers designed to show prices including tax before Spree was changed so that prices were expected to already include tax (when applicable.) We’ve removed a lot of stuff related to the old (more complicated) way of doing things.
One unfortunate byproduct of prices now including tax is that you will need to change the prices on your products if you are in a region that requires prices to include tax and you were not already including the tax in your prices.
Removed sales tax and VAT calculators
Both of these calculators have been replaced by the single calculator
Calculator::DefaultTax
.
Tax rates can now be included in a product price
There is now a boolean checkbox for indiciating if a tax rate is included in the product price. The tax rate will only be considered as part of the product price if the product has a matching tax category. You can also have multiple tax rates with this designation.
New TaxRate#adjust
method
This method is responsible for calculating the price. This is basically an internal change but some developers may be interested to know this.
Marking a tax rate as including price is the new way to handle Value Added Tax (VAT) and other similar tax schemes.
Zones
There is one major change related to zones in this release. Zones can no longer have zone members that are themselves a zone. All zone members must now be a either a country or state.
Testing
The demise of Cucumber testing
Cucumber is a great testing tool however it doesn’t bring more values for testing but overhead. It is decided to opt for a light-weight practice of RSpec + Capybara.
Upgrading
This section aims to walk you through upgrading to the newest version of Spree.
This steps in this guide were written while upgrading from 0.70.x to 1.0.0. Upgrading older versions of Spree may require some additional steps.
Upgrading the Spree Gem
You will want to begin the update process by updating the Spree gem in your Gemfile to reference version 1.0.0.
gem 'spree', '1.0.0'
Next, you will need to update this gem using this command:
$ bundle update spree
If you run bundle update
instead of bundle update spree
,
you run the risk of having all your application dependencies updated to
their latest version. It is recommended to only update spree during the
upgrade process.
Extensions
Any Spree extensions being used will also need to be updated to a 1.0.0 compatible version. If there is not a 1.0.0 compatible extensions release yet, you will need to disable that extension in order to continue the upgrade process.
Routes
You will need to update your routes file in order for Spree’s routes to
be correctly loaded. You will need to add mount Spree::Core::Engine,
at: '/'
as shown below.
#config/routes.rb YourStore::Application.routes.draw do mount Spree::Core::Engine, at: '/' # your application's custom routes … end
If you’re mounting Spree at the default root path, it is recommended to place your application’s custom routes beneath Spree’s mounted routes as shown in the above example. This will ensure you don’t override any of Spree’s defined routes.
You may choose to mount Spree at a custom location by changing the :at option to something different, such as at: ‘/shop’.
Update config/application.rb
Remove the following two lines from config/application.rb in your application:
config.middleware.use "SeoAssist" config.middleware.use "RedirectLegacyProductUrl"
These two pieces of middleware are now automatically included by Spree. If you have no desire to use these pieces of middleware, you can now remove them by placing these two lines into your config/application.rb:
config.middleware.delete "Spree::Core::Middleware::SeoAssist" config.middleware.delete "Spree::Core::Middleware::RedirectLegacyProductUrl"
Migrations
$ bundle exec rake railties:install:migrations
Run the above command to copy over all the migrations from all the engines included in your application. This may also include any migrations from extensions or other engines.
Then it is time to run any new migrations copied to your application.
$ bundle exec rake db:migrate
Asset Manifest Files
Remove the line requiring spree_dash from app/assets/stylesheets/store/all.css, app/assets/stylesheets/admin/all.css, app/assets/javascripts/store/all.js, and app/assets/javascripts/store/all.js
Other Tips for Upgrading
- If your application defines any class decorators, you will need to update these files to decorate Spree’s new namespace classes. This means Product becomes Spree::Product, Country becomes Spree::Country, and so on.
- Correct the paths to any templates you are overriding to include the Spree namespace. Things such as app/views/products/show.html.erb have now become app/views/spree/products/show.html.erb.
Bug fixes
- Fixed issue caused by using &:upcase syntax inside the tab helper provided by Admin::NavigationHelper. #693 and #704.
- Fixed issue where non-ASCII characters were not being correctly titleized in the tab helper provided by Admin::NavigationHelper. #722

Granit Xhaka sends message to the Arsenal fans after being left out squad for Wolves
Arsenal boss Unai Emery confirmed on Friday Granit Xhaka would play no part in this weekend's home clash with Wolves
by Jake Polden, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/jake-polden/Granit Xhaka has proven he's still a Gooner despite his recent spat with fans resulting him being left out of the Arsenal squad this weekend.
The Gunners are in action against Wolves, where they took an early lead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the Emirates this Saturday.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery confirmed Xhaka would play no part in the match in the week, saying the midfielder is not in the right frame of mind at the moment.
But Arsenal captain Xhaka wanted Gunners supporters to know that he still loves the team by posting an image of him watching the Wolves game on his home TV.
Alongside the image of the Gunners stars in action, Xhaka wrote: "Come on boys."
Xhaka clashed with fans last Sunday during the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace. The Swiss reacted to supporters booing him by swearing back at them and cupping his ears.
He released a statement after the incident, reading: "After taking some time to reflect on what happened on Sunday afternoon, I would like to give you an explanation rather than just a quick response.
"The scenes that took place around my substitution have moved me deeply. I love this club and always give 100% on and off the pitch.
"My feeling of not being understood by fans, and repeated abusive comments at matches and in social media over the last weeks and months have me deeply.

"That has stirred me up and I reached boiling point when I felt the rejection in the stadium on Sunday.
"In this situation, I let myself be carried away and reacted in a way that disrespected the group of fans that support our club, our team and myself with positive energy.
"That has not been my intention and I'm sorry if that's what people thought.
"My wish is that we get back to a place of mutual respect, remembering why we fell in love with this game in the first place. Let's move forward positively together. Granit."

Size
The pyramid has a base length of 215.5 m (706 ft) and rises up to a height of 136.4 metres (448 ft)[1] The pyramid is made of limestone blocks weighing more than 2 tons each. The slope of the pyramid rises at a 53° 13' angle, steeper than its neighbor, the Pyramid of Khufu, which has an angle of 51°50'24". The pyramid sits on bedrock 10 m (33 ft) higher than Khufu’s pyramid, which makes it appear to be taller.
History
The pyramid was likely opened and robbed during the First Intermediate Period. During the Eighteenth Dynasty, the overseer of temple construction took casing stone from it to build a temple in Heliopolis on Ramesses II’s orders.[3] Arab historian Ibn Abd al-Salam recorded that the pyramid was opened in 1372 AD.[4]
On the wall of the burial chamber, there is an Arabic graffito that probably dates from the same time.[5]
It is not known when the casing stones of the pyramid were robbed; however, they were presumably still in place by 1646, when John Greaves, professor of Astronomy at the University of Oxford in his "Pyramidographia," wrote that, while its stones weren't as large or as regularly laid as in Khufu's, the surface was smooth and even free of breaches of inequalities, except on the south.[6]
It was first explored in modern times by Giovanni Belzoni on March 2, 1818, when the original entrance was found on the north side of the pyramid and the burial chamber was visited. Belzoni had hopes of finding an intact burial. However, the chamber was empty except for an open sarcophagus and its broken lid on the floor.[5]
The first complete exploration was conducted by John Perring in 1837. In 1853, Auguste Mariette partially excavated Khafre's valley temple, and, in 1858, while completing its clearance, he managed to discover a diorite statue.[7]
Interior
Two entrances lead to the burial chamber, one that opens 11.54 m (38 ft) up the face of the pyramid and one that opens at the base of the pyramid. These passageways do not align with the centerline of the pyramid, but are offset to the east by 12 m (39 ft). The lower descending passageway is carved completely out of the bedrock, descending, running horizontal, then ascending to join the horizontal passage leading to the burial chamber.
One theory as to why there are two entrances is that the pyramid was intended to be much larger with the northern base shifted 30 m (98 ft) further to the north which would make Khafre’s pyramid much larger than his father’s. This would place the entrance to the lower descending passage within the masonry of the pyramid. While the bedrock is cut away farther from the pyramid on the north side than on the west side, it is not clear that there is enough room on the plateau for the enclosure wall and pyramid terrace. An alternative theory is that, as with many earlier pyramids, plans were changed and the entrance was moved midway through construction.
There is a subsidiary chamber, equal in length to the c.412"-long King's Chamber of the Khufu pyramid,[10] that opens to the west of the lower passage, the purpose of which is uncertain. It may be used to store offerings, store burial equipment, or it may be a serdab chamber. The upper descending passage is clad in granite and descends to join with the horizontal passage to the burial chamber.
The burial chamber was carved out of a pit in the bedrock. The roof is constructed of gabled limestone beams. The chamber is rectangular, 14.15 m by 5 m (46.4 ft x 16 ft), and is oriented east-west. Khafre’s sarcophagus was carved out of a solid block of granite and sunk partially in the floor, in it, Belzoni found bones of an animal, possibly a bull. Another pit in the floor likely contained the canopic chest, its lid would have been one of the pavement slabs.[11]
Pyramid Complex
Satellite pyramid[edit]
Along the centerline of the pyramid on the south side was a satellite pyramid, but almost nothing remains other than some core blocks and the outline of the foundation. It contains two descending passages, one of them ending in a dead end with a niche which contained pieces of ritualistic furniture.[12]


Inspired by the 1940s.
Why do you love 1940s fashion?
I have a great connection to the period because I grew up on film noir, reading hard-boiled Raymond Chandler novels and hearing World War II stories from my Oma and Opa. The clothing then was strong: shoulder pads, nipped waists and that classic red lip I love. Also, it was practical enough that you could run to the bomb shelter in your sturdy heels, but also go out for dinner.
What’s the oldest thing in your wardrobe?
Most of my clothes are from the 1930s to the ’60s but I do have some antique pieces. The oldest thing is a Victorian mourning shawl: silk, with beading and fur trim. It’s exquisitely beautiful.
What is the most recent fashion item you bought?
A victory pin that would have been worn by a patriotic woman during World War II. Victory pieces are one of my obsessions.
How would you dress for ...
... a first date? Exactly as I always do. So, a 1940s dress, Mary Jane shoes and my walking stick, Wolfie.
... a plane? When I flew out to Australia from Vancouver, I wore a black jersey Vivienne Westwood dress, Fluevog boots and had a corset in my bag to put on when I got off the plane. It’s not how everyone dresses, but it’s more comfortable for me than pants.
... the Oscars? I’d wear vintage, or an Alex Perry number – he made my wedding dress and knows how to dress my hourglass figure.
Do you have a favourite fashion designer?
Lilli Ann – they were very big in the middle of the last century. I’ve only got one of their suits but I am always on the lookout for more.
What are three essential items in your wardrobe?
Red lipstick is number one – even though it’s not technically part of my wardrobe, I don’t feel dressed without it. Number two would be a sturdy but feminine heel, and number three would be a classic 1940s day dress.
Can you remember a favourite outfit you had as a child?

Do you have a favourite party look?
Surprise, surprise, I’d wear a 1940s dress, in red – one of my favourite colours – and costume jewellery.
Your worst fashion mistake?
I would say I dressed terribly up until seven years ago, when I started wearing vintage. I didn’t have the courage before then.
What would you buy if money were no object?
Vintage hats and early Chanel.
What would you never wear?
A sweatsuit.
Who is your style muse?
Ava Gardner, when she burst onto the screen in The Killers.
What was your first fashion moment?
It was when I got my first big modelling job at the age of 16 and I bought a Versace suit. It was
around 1990, I was living in Milan and there were those wonderful Versace ads of all the supermodels of the day in miniskirt suits with big gold buttons and shoulder
pads. That was the suit I bought and I’ll never part with it.
Tara’s new book, Dead Man Switch (HarperCollins), is out now.

Description
The second version of Hello World replaces the trivial implementation of Hello1 with a more common programming approach. The frame window used in the main portion of the application is a subclass of IFrameWindow that has a static text control and a new status area at the bottom of the frame which is created using the IInfoArea class. The specification for this new frame window class is stored separately in a C++ file with an extension of .hpp. Also, text strings are stored outside the application in a .rc resource file.
Visually, however, the Hello1 and Hello2 samples are identical except for the information area.
Concept
Sample program demonstrates a simple graphical application with an information area.
Task
Stretch and resize the application frame. The text remains centered in the client area. The information area displays messages to the user.

Two strings $A$ and $B$ are called anagrams if they consist same characters, but may be in different orders. So the list of anagrams of CAT are "CAT", "ACT" , "TAC", "TCA" ,"ATC" and "CTA".
Given two strings, print "Anagrams" if they are anagrams, print "Not Anagrams" if they are not. The strings may consist at most 50 english characters, the comparison should NOT be case sensitive.
This exercise will verify that you are able to sort the characters of a string, or compare frequencies of characters.

Hi, I'm Anwesh! I'm a Web Designer & Front-end Developer focused on creating clean, responsive web designs!

If you have ever used more than one database engine for any length of time you may be probably aware of the not always subtle syntax differences in their implementation of SQL. (Not that there’s any reason for that. That’s what standards are for, right?).
In this regard, DB2 for i SQL does not disappoint. Even a simple search for the official online documentation can be daunting for a newcomer (it’s here, by the way). If you are learning to program on iSeries, you might have been grateful when you found out there was support for SQL, until you actually started using it and stumbled upon some of those little but significant annoyances that tend to slow progress down to a crawl.
The good news is that most of what you already know from a different DB engine will work here. For the rest, I started compiling a simple list to get you through some of the most common, repetitive and especially non-obvious tasks. I plan to go back and continue expanding this list as I keep learning how to effectively use the query language on this platform (I may never come back, so don’t just sit around waiting.)
Concatenate strings
This one is deceptively simple, but there’s a twist (so soon?). You can use the CONCAT
function or the concatenation operator, with different syntax (but ultimately yielding the same result) depending on the chosen form. Here are the three valid ways of concatenating strings:
Using the CONCAT
function:
SELECT CONCAT(CONCAT(FIRSTNAME, ' '), LASTNAME) AS FULLNAME FROM STUDENTS
Using the long form of the operator:
SELECT FIRSTNAME CONCAT ' ' CONCAT LASTNAME AS FULLNAME FROM STUDENTS
Using the short form of the concatenation operator:
SELECT FIRSTNAME || ' ' || LASTNAME AS FULLNAME FROM STUDENTS
Yes, CONCAT
is a function AND an operator. It may look weird, but it works. I tend to prefer the compact syntax, as long as I’m not writing C code at the same time.
Create a table with the same data structure as an existing table or view
I wouldn’t be surprised if the group of CREATE statements were the most complex on SQL for i, so it would be understandable if, during your perusal of the official reference, you missed the syntax for copying the column definitions from an existing table or view to a new table. So here it is:
CREATE TABLE MYLIB/STUDENTS_ARCHIVE LIKE PRDDTA/STUDENTS
Simple, easy to remember. And yet I forget about it all the time (hence its inclusion on this list).
Retrieve top N records
Retrieving the first N records of a query seems to be the quintessential I-don’t-care-how-you-did-it-I’ll-do-it-on-my-own-way query amongst DB engines. In SQL Server, for example, you have the TOP
clause:
SELECT TOP 100 * FROM STUDENTS
In Oracle you are supposed to use the ROWNUM
pseudocolumn (as long as you don’t need ordered results, in which case a nested query is necessary):
SELECT * FROM STUDENTS WHERE ROWNUM < 100;
DB2 FOR i SQL gets the prize for the most verbose syntax:
SELECT * FROM STUDENTS FETCH FIRST 100 ROW ONLY
And so on and so forth. You get the point.
Delete duplicate records
I spent a lot of time on this problem, until I remembered it’s 2012 and these days you can Google your way out of any difficult situation. The issue was simple enough: A badly written program inserted duplicate records on a table lacking a unique identifier, and we needed to remove those duplicates via SQL. The solution was kindly provided by Vijayakumar Kannan on his appropriately titled ‘Delete duplicate records using SQL in iSeries 400’ post:
DELETE FROM STUDENTS A WHERE RRN(A) >
(SELECT MIN(RRN(B)) FROM STUDENTS B WHERE
A.FIRSTNAME = B.FIRSTNAME AND A.LASTNAME = B.LASTNAME AND
A.DAYOFBIRTH = B.DAYOFBIRTH AND ...)
where RRN
is a function that “returns the relative record number of a row”.
So there you have it. I like to think that just by having stopped to write this post I probably committed those snippets to memory, but the reality is that I will probably not remember anything the next time I need help.
Finally if you are reading this, hi future me. Don’t forget to leave a comment for future future me.

China begins construction on two new reactors in Hainan - state media
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China has begun construction on two new reactor units at the Changjiang nuclear project on the island province of Hainan off the country’s southeast coast, state media reported on Monday following a signing ceremony.
The company in charge, the Huaneng Nuclear Development Corporation, has chosen China’s homegrown third-generation Hualong One reactor technology for the two units, the official China News Service reported. The Changjiang project already has two reactors in operation.
The total investment for the two new units will reach 39.45 billion yuan ($5.64 billion), and they are scheduled to go into operation in 2025 and 2026.
The country now has 15 new reactor units under construction, with 47 already in commercial operation.
China was aiming to bring total nuclear capacity to 58 gigawatts (GW) by the end of last year, with another 30 GW under construction.
It is expected to fall short of this target, with total capacity now at 48.7 GW and likely to hit 53 GW by the end of 2020.
China’s ambitious nuclear programme has been held back by long delays to major projects and a suspension of new approvals that lasted three years. The Zhangzhou project in Fujian was the first conventional reactor project to be given the nod since late 2015.

"Alligators!" screamed Amy. "Don't you dare say that, Grace!"
 Oh, isn't it horrid!"
Grace and Amy were clinging to each other now in the middle of the boat. Betty had turned about at their exclamations, and Mollie was gazing curiously into the swirling water.
"I don't see any alligator," she announced, unbelievingly. "Are you sure you saw one, Grace?"
"Of course I am. Oh, Betty! There's one now, just ahead of you. You're going to run into him!"
Betty turned her attention to guiding the boat only just in time. Certainly something long and knobby and black was almost at the bow. She veered to one side, and then exclaimed:
"Alligator! That was nothing but a log, Grace Ford!
"Silly? Nothing of the sort. I tell you I did see an alligator."
"It was a log—but it does look like one of the big creatures, though," said Amy. "Oh, if it should have been one!"
"Well, it couldn't eat us—here in the boat," said Mollie.
"No, but it might have capsized us, and then—" Grace paused suggestively.
"'All's well that ends well,'" quoted Betty, as she turned the boat nearer shore. "Some day we must take our lunch, and have a picnic ashore. See the lovely Spanish moss hanging down from the trees. It's like living history over again. Just think of it, how Balboa came here and discovered the land, and—"
"It wasn't Balboa, it was Ponce de Leon who located Florida," corrected Mollie. "Don't you remember—Flowery Easter?"
"Oh, so it was. Well, anyhow—"
[Illustration: "THERE! THERE!" SCREAMED GRACE. "THERE'S AN ALLIGATOR!"—Page 76, The Outdoor Girls in Florida.]
"There—there!" screamed Grace. "There's an alligator, surely. It's alive, too! Oh, dear! An alligator!"
She pointed to something long and dark floating in the river—something that seemed to be covered with scales and ridges—something that suddenly turned up an ugly head, with bulging eyes, which looked fishily at the girls in the boat.
Then, with a swirl of its tail, the creature sank below the surface.
"Yes, that was an alligator," said Betty quietly.
"I told you it was," spoke Grace. "And to think I nearly had my hand on it. Oh, I don't want to remember it."
"But it didn't bite you," said practical Mollie.
"If it had—well, the less said the better," remarked Betty. "Now let's forget all about it and enjoy ourselves. Maybe there are only a few of them here in the river."
"I wonder what alligators are good for, anyhow?" came from Amy, as she resumed her seat. "They don't seem fit for anything."
"You forget about alligator bags," corrected Mollie. "What would we do for valises and satchels if we had no alligators, I'd like to know?"
"That's so," admitted Amy.
Grace was looking over the surface of the river as though to see if any more of the ugly creatures were in sight, but the water was unruffled save by the wind.
Not knowing the character of the stream Betty did not want to venture to far. So, after going down about a mile or so, she turned the boat and headed up stream. They passed a number of small boats, manned by colored boys who were fishing, and the youngsters suspended operations to gaze with mingled wonder and fear at Betty's swiftly-moving craft.
They tied up at the small dock which extended out into the river at the foot of the orange grove, well satisfied with their first trip, even though they had been frightened by the alligators.
"Yes, you will find one or two 'gators, now and then," said Mr. Hammond, the overseer, when told of the girls' experience.  Don't worry."
But Grace was so nervous that night that she did not sleep well, and Mrs. Stonington grew quite alarmed. Perhaps it was as much worry over the fate of Will, as the recollection of her escape from the alligator, that disturbed Grace.
For no good news had come from Mr. Ford. He had set many influences at work on the case, but so far nothing had come of his inquiries.
Will seemed to have been taken into the interior of Florida, and there lost. There were so many turpentine camps, or places where contract labor was used to get out valuable wood, or other products, that a complete inquiry would take a long time.
Mrs. Ford was as well as could be expected, Grace's father wrote, though naturally very much worried. And Grace was worried too. If she could have engaged actively in a search for her brother perhaps she might not have fretted so. But it was harassing to sit idly by and let others do the work.
"Especially when we have already done so much," said Betty, agreeing with her chum's view of the case.
Watching the work of gathering oranges, occasionally themselves helping somewhat, taking walks, drives and trips in the motor boat, made time for the girls pass quickly.
 Take our lunch and go down the river in the boat. Go ashore and eat. We will do some exploring."
"And perhaps find the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon missed," added Mollie.
"If you find it, bring some of the water back," begged Mr. Stonington. "You girls will not need it—I do."
"We'll bottle some for you," promised Amy, laughing.
Soon they were off in the Gem again, Grace, at least, keeping a wary eye out for alligators. But they saw none of the unprepossessing creatures.
"Though perhaps we may meet with a sea-cow," suggested Betty, as she looked for a pleasant place whereon to go ashore for lunch.
"What's a sea-cow?" asked Mollie.
"One that eats sea-weed," cried Amy.
"No, I mean a manatee," went on Betty. "Don't you remember the big creatures we saw in the New York aquarium a year or so ago?"
"Oh, yes!" exclaimed Amy. "Well, they're not as bad as alligators—at least they haven't such large mouths."
"And they only eat—grass," added Mollie.
Betty was sending her boat ahead at good speed, scanning the shores of the river for some quiet cove into which to steer. The day was warm, and the sun shone down unclouded. From the banks came the odor of flowers.
Suddenly, as the boat chugged along, there came a momentary halt, as though it had struck something.
"What's that?" cried Grace.
"Maybe an alligator has us," suggested Mollie with a laugh. For the Gem went on as though nothing had happened.
"Don't be silly!" chided Grace. "It was certainly something."
Betty looked back a bit nervously, and glanced at the engine.
"I hope the gasoline isn't giving out," she murmured.
"The idea!" cried Grace.
Then with a shock that threw all the girls forward in their seats the Gem came to a sudden halt, and the engine raced furiously. Betty at once shut off the power.
"Oh, oh!" cried Grace. "What is it? Has an alligator got hold of us?"
Betty looked over the bow. Then she said grimly:
"We've run on a sand bar—that's all. Run on it good and hard, too. I wonder if we can get off?"

Team blog post here :
And some sample code for more context.
With the Linq pattern, here is what the code for downloading the first 10 customers would look like :
DataServiceCollection<Customer> customerCollection = new DataServiceCollection<Customer>(Context); customerCollection.Load(Context.CreateQuery<Customer>("Customers").Take(10));
Now, with the URI pattern, this is what it looks like :
DataServiceCollection<Customer> customerCollection = new DataServiceCollection<Customer>(Context); customerCollection.Load(Context.CreateQuery<Customer>("Customers").Take(10)); var top10CustomersUri = new Uri("Customers?$top=10", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute); Context.BeginExecute<Customer>(top10CustomersUri, (asResult) => { var top10CustomersResponse = Context.EndExecute<Customer>(asResult) as QueryOperationResponse<Customer>; customerCollection.Load(top10CustomersResponse); }, null);
We can make code a lot easier to read with an Extension method that takes a URI on the LoadAsync method.
public static class DataServiceCollectionExtensions { public static void LoadAsync<TEntity>(this DataServiceCollection<TEntity> collection,
DataServiceContext context, Uri requestUri) { context.BeginExecute<TEntity>( requestUri, (asResult) => { var results = context.EndExecute<TEntity>(asResult); collection.Load(results); }, null); } }
Which converts our code to :
var top10CustomersUri = new Uri("Customers?$top=10", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute); customerCollection.LoadAsync(Context, top10CustomersUri);
I’ll make a more detailed blog post later about the WP7 client library for OData and a sample application too.
