Recent Management Change and Strategic Refocus
In September 2012, our Board of Directors elected John H. Scribante as our new Chief Executive Officer. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Scribante was the President of our Orion Engineered Systems division and had also served in executive sales management positions. As a result of this management change, we are refocusing our strategic initiatives to include: (i) enhancing and refocusing our sales organization with an emphasis on expanding our direct sales efforts; (ii) streamlining our product development initiatives with a focus on activities that will deliver the greatest return on our investment and disciplined product control releases versus a process of continuous development; and (iii) cost reduction initiatives to deliver profitability.
During the fiscal 2013 second quarter, we recorded operating expenses related to reorganization costs and contractual commitments of $2.1 million, which included $1.7 million to general and administrative expenses and $0.4 million to sales and marketing expenses. Additionally, we recorded a $5.6 million non-cash income tax expense to establish a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
As part of our cost reduction initiatives, we recently identified additional cost containment initiatives which we believe will result in annualized cost reductions of $4.0 million. These initiatives include headcount reductions, material and component cost savings in our HIF lighting products and reductions in consulting and other discretionary spending. We intend to implement these cost reductions during the second half of fiscal 2013.
We design, manufacture, market and implement energy management systems consisting primarily of high-performance, energy efficient lighting systems, controls and related services and market and implement renewable energy systems consisting primarily of solar generating photovoltaic, or PV, systems and wind turbines. We operate in two business segments, which we refer to as our Energy Management Division and our Engineered Systems Division.
We typically generate the majority of our revenue from sales of high intensity fluorescent, or HIF, lighting systems and related services to commercial and industrial customers. We typically sell our HIF lighting systems in replacement of our customers' existing high intensity discharge, or HID, fixtures. We call this replacement process a "retrofit." We frequently engage our customer's existing electrical contractor to provide installation and project management services. We also sell our HIF lighting systems on a wholesale basis, principally to electrical contractors and value-added resellers to sell to their own customer bases.
We have more recently increased our product development activities surrounding light emitting diode, or LED, lighting and energy management systems. We believe that we have taken a responsible approach to this emerging technology. Based upon recent improvements, including drastic reduction of chip prices, availability of name-brand drivers and the integration with our InteLite controls offerings, we believe that LED will become a larger part of our overall interior lighting strategy in the future.
We have sold and installed more than 2,391,000 of our HIF lighting systems in over 8,477 facilities from December 1, 2001 through September 30, 2012. We have sold our products to 145 Fortune 500 companies, many of which have installed our HIF lighting systems in multiple facilities. Our top direct customers by revenue in fiscal 2012 included Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc., International Paper Company, U.S. Foodservice, SYSCO Corp., and United Stationers, Inc.
Our fiscal year ends on March 31. We call our prior fiscal year which ended on March 31, 2012, "fiscal 2012". We call our current fiscal year, which will end on March 31, 2013, "fiscal 2013." Our fiscal first quarter ended on June 30, our fiscal second quarter ended on September 30, our fiscal third quarter ends on December 31 and our fiscal fourth quarter ends on March 31.
Because of the recessed state of the global economy since 2009, especially as it has impacted capital equipment manufacturers, our results for the first half of fiscal 2013 continued to be adversely affected by lengthened customer sales cycles and sluggish customer capital spending. To address these difficult economic conditions, we implemented several cost reduction initiatives. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we implemented $3.2 million of annualized cost reductions. These cost containment initiatives included reductions related to headcount, work hours and discretionary spending and began to show results in the second half of fiscal 2010 and the first half of fiscal 2011. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we identified an additional $1 million of annualized cost reductions related to decreased product costs, improved manufacturing efficiencies and reduced operating expenses. We realized these cost reductions beginning during the fiscal 2011 third quarter through reduction in general and administrative expenses and improved product margins for our HIF lighting systems. During fiscal 2012, in recognition of an improving economy compared to the previous year, we focused our efforts on activities to increase revenue. These investments included the creation of a telemarketing call center for the purpose of customer lead generation, the establishment of a sales office and hiring of personnel in Houston, Texas and headcount additions to our retail sales force and our Engineered Systems Division. Despite these recent investments into revenue generating activities, we have continued to experience a difficult capital spending environment during the first half of fiscal 2013.
In response to the constraints on our customers' capital spending budgets, we have been aggressively promoting the advantages to our customers of purchasing our energy management systems through our Orion Throughput Agreement, or OTA, financing program. Our OTA financing program provides for our customer's purchase of our energy management systems without an up-front capital outlay. During fiscal 2012, we entered into an arrangement with a national equipment finance company to provide immediate non-recourse funding of pre-credit approved OTA finance contracts upon project completion and customer acceptance. Additionally, we completed a $5.0 million OTA line of credit, of which we borrowed $3.2 million, for the purpose of funding OTA projects upon project completion and customer acceptance, for which we chose to hold the contracts internally. The OTA line of credit expired in September 2012 for new financing, but not for drawn amounts. We now have secured multiple funding sources for our OTA projects. In the future, we expect to use our external sources of funding for OTA projects that are available to us and reduce the number of projects funded internally or funded through bank debt. We expect that the number of customers who choose to purchase our systems by using our OTA financing program will increase in future periods. Additionally, we have provided a financing program to our alternative renewable energy system customers called a solar Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, as an alternative to purchasing our systems for cash. The PPA is a supply side agreement for the generation of electricity and subsequent sale to the end user. We do not intend to use our own cash balances to fund future PPA opportunities and have been able to secure several external sources of funding for PPA's on behalf of our customers.
Despite these recent economic challenges, we remain optimistic about our long-term financial performance. Our long-term optimism is based upon the considerable size of the existing market opportunity for lighting retrofits, the continued development of our new products and product enhancements, the opportunity for additional revenue from sales of renewable technologies through our Orion Engineered Systems Division, our cost reduction initiatives and the opportunity to increase gross margins through the leverage of our under-utilized manufacturing capacity.
Our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 provides additional information about our business and operations.
Revenue and Expense Components
Revenue. We sell our energy management products and services directly to commercial and industrial customers, and indirectly to end users through wholesale sales to electrical contractors and value-added resellers. We currently generate the majority of our revenue from sales of HIF lighting systems and related services to commercial and industrial customers. While our services include comprehensive site assessment, site field verification, utility incentive and government subsidy management, engineering design, project management, installation and recycling in connection with our retrofit installations, we separately recognize service revenue only for our installation and recycling services. Our service revenues are recognized when services are complete and customer acceptance has been received. In fiscal 2010 and 2011, we increased our efforts to expand our value-added reseller channels, including through developing a partner standard operating procedural kit, providing our partners with product marketing materials and providing training to channel partners on our sales methodologies. These wholesale channels accounted for approximately 64% of our total revenue in fiscal 2012, not taking into consideration our renewable technologies revenue generated through our Orion Engineered Systems Division. During the first half of fiscal 2013, wholesale revenues accounted for approximately 58% of our total revenue, not taking into consideration our renewable technologies revenue generated through our Orion Engineered Systems Division, compared to 62% for the first half of fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2012, we focused our expansion efforts on our direct retail sales channel through the creation of a telemarketing call center for the purpose of customer lead generation, the establishment of a sales office and personnel in Houston, Texas and headcount additions to our retail sales force and our Engineered Systems Division. In the future, we intend to continue to selectively build out our retail sales force, focusing on geographic markets where we do not have a strong wholesale presence and the market contains a larger number of commercial and industrial facilities.
Additionally, we offer our OTA sales-type financing program under which we
finance the customer's purchase of our energy management systems. The OTA
program was established to assist customers who are interested in purchasing our
energy management systems but who have capital expenditure budget limitations.
Our OTA contracts are capital leases under GAAP and we record revenue at the
present value of the future payments at the time customer acceptance of the
installed and operating system is complete. Our OTA contracts under this
sales-type financing are either structured with a fixed term, typically 60
months, and a bargain purchase option at the end of term, or are one year in
duration and, at the completion of the initial one-year term, provide for
(i) one to four automatic one-year renewals at agreed upon pricing; (ii) an early buyout for cash; or (iii) the return of the equipment at the customer's expense. The revenue that we are entitled to receive from the sale of our lighting fixtures under our OTA financing program is fixed and is based on the cost of the lighting fixtures and applicable profit margin. Our revenue from agreements entered into under this program is not dependent upon our customers' actual energy savings. We recognize revenue from OTA contracts at the net present value of the future cash flows at the completion date of the installation of the energy management systems and the customer's acknowledgement that the system is operating as specified. Upon completion of the installation, we may choose to sell the future cash flows and residual rights to the equipment on a non-recourse basis to third party finance companies in exchange for cash and future payments.
In fiscal 2012, we recognized $10.2 million of revenue from 139 completed OTA contracts. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $1.6 million of revenue from 33 completed contracts compared to $3.6 million from 29 completed contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $3.4 million of revenue from 52 completed contracts compared to $6.5 million from 82 completed contracts for the six months ended September 30, 2011. In the future, we expect an increase in the volume of OTA contracts as our customers take advantage of the value proposition without incurring any up-front capital cost.
Our PPA financing program provides for our customer's purchase of electricity from our renewable energy generating assets without an upfront capital outlay. Our PPA is a longer-term contract, typically in excess of 10 years, in which we receive monthly payments over the life of the contract. This program creates an ongoing recurring revenue stream, but reduces near-term revenue as the payments are recognized as revenue on a monthly basis over the life of the contract versus upfront upon product shipment or project completion. In fiscal 2012, we recognized $0.6 million of revenue from completed PPAs. In the first half of fiscal 2013, we recognized $0.4 million of revenue from completed PPAs. As of September 30, 2012, we had signed one customer to two separate PPAs representing future potential discounted revenue streams of $2.7 million. We discount the future revenue from PPAs due to the long-term nature of the contracts, typically in excess of 10 years. The timing of expected future discounted GAAP revenue recognition and the resulting operating cash inflows from PPAs, assuming the systems perform as designed, was as follows as of September 30, 2012 (in thousands):
Fiscal 2013 $ 205 Fiscal 2014 465 Fiscal 2015 277 Fiscal 2016 277 Fiscal 2017 276 Beyond 1,217 Total expected future discounted revenue from PPAs $ 2,717
For sales of our solar PV systems, which are governed by customer contracts that require us to deliver functioning solar power systems and are generally completed within three to 15 months, we recognize revenue from fixed price construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, revenue arising from fixed price construction contracts is recognized as work is performed based upon the percentage of incurred costs to estimated total forecasted costs. We have determined that the appropriate method of measuring progress on these sales is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date of the total estimated costs for each contract as materials are installed. The percentage-of-completion method requires revenue recognition from the delivery of products to be deferred and the cost of such products to be capitalized as a deferred cost and current asset on the balance sheet. We perform periodic evaluations of the progress of the installation of the solar PV systems using actual costs incurred over total estimated costs to complete a project. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts, if any, are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable.
We recognize revenue on product only sales of our lighting and energy management systems at the time of shipment. For lighting and energy management systems projects consisting of multiple elements of revenue, such as a combination of product sales and services, we recognize revenue by allocating the total contract revenue to each element based on their relative selling prices. We determine the selling price of products based upon the price charged when these products are sold separately. For services, we determine the selling price based upon management's best estimate giving consideration to pricing practices, margin objectives, competition, scope and size of individual projects, geographies in which we offer our products and services and internal costs. We recognize revenue at the time of product shipment on product sales and on services completed prior to product shipment. We recognize revenue associated with services provided after product shipment, based on their relative selling price, when the services are completed and customer acceptance has been received. When other significant obligations or acceptance terms remain after products are delivered, revenue is recognized only after such obligations are fulfilled or acceptance by the customer has occurred.
Our dependence on individual key customers can vary from period to period as a result of the significant size of some of our solar PV projects. Our top 10 customers accounted for approximately 35% and 30% of our total revenue for the first half of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, respectively. Two customers, individually, accounted for 14% and 15% of our total revenue in the first half of fiscal 2012. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in the first half of fiscal 2013. To the extent that large solar PV projects become a greater component of our total revenue, we may experience more customer concentration in given periods. The loss of, or substantial reduction in sales volume to, any of our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our total revenue in any given period and may result in significant annual and quarterly revenue variations.
Our level of total revenue for any given period is dependent upon a number of
factors, including (i) the demand for our products and systems, including our
OTA and PPA programs and any new products, applications and service that we may
introduce through our Orion Engineered Systems Division; (ii) the number and
timing of large retrofit and multi-facility retrofit, or "roll-out," projects;
(iii) the level of our wholesale sales; (iv) our ability to realize revenue from our services; (v) market conditions; (vi) our execution of our sales process;
(vii) our ability to compete in a highly competitive market and our ability to respond successfully to market competition; (viii) the selling price of our products and services; (ix) changes in capital investment levels by our customers and prospects; and (x) customer sales and budget cycles. As a result, our total revenue may be subject to quarterly variations and our total revenue for any particular fiscal quarter may not be indicative of future results.
Backlog. We define backlog as the total contractual value of all firm orders received for our lighting and solar products and services where delivery of product or completion of services has not yet occurred as of the end of any particular reporting period. Such orders must be evidenced by a signed proposal acceptance or purchase order from the customer. Our backlog does not include PPAs or national contracts that have been negotiated, but under which we have not yet received a purchase order for the specific location. As of September 30, 2012, we had a backlog of firm purchase orders of approximately $46.7 million, which included $41.6 million of solar PV orders, compared to $50.5 million as of June 30, 2012, which included $44.3 million of solar PV orders. We currently expect approximately $18.0 million of our September 30, 2012 backlog to be recognized as revenue in the second half of fiscal 2013 and the remainder in future fiscal years. We typically expect the non-solar portion of our backlog to be recognized as revenue within 90 days from receipt of order. Our solar PV orders are typically longer-term construction type projects and we expect revenue to be recognized over a period of between three and 24 months from receipt of order, dependent upon the size and complexity of the project. As a result of the increased volume of our solar PV orders, the continued lengthening of our customer's purchasing decisions because of current recessed economic conditions and related factors, the continued shortening of our installation cycles and the number of projects sold through OTAs, a comparison of backlog from period to period is not necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative of actual revenue recognized in future periods.
Cost of Revenue. Our total cost of revenue consists of costs for: (i) raw
materials, including sheet, coiled and specialty reflective aluminum;
(ii) electrical components, including ballasts, power supplies and lamps;
(iii) materials for sales of solar PV systems through our Engineered Systems Division, including solar panels, inverters and wiring; (iv) wages and related personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation charges, for our fabricating, coating, assembly, logistics and project installation service organizations; (v) manufacturing facilities, including depreciation on our manufacturing facilities and equipment, taxes, insurance and utilities;
(vi) warranty expenses; (vii) installation and integration; and (viii) shipping and handling. Our cost of aluminum can be subject to commodity price fluctuations, which we attempt to mitigate with forward fixed-price, minimum quantity purchase commitments with our suppliers. We also purchase many of our electrical components through forward purchase contracts. We buy most of our specialty reflective aluminum from a single supplier. Previously, we purchased most of our ballast and lamp components from a single supplier. Purchases from this supplier accounted for 12% of total cost of revenue for the first half of fiscal 2012. Currently, we purchase these components from multiple suppliers. For the first half of fiscal 2013, purchases from two suppliers accounted for 16% of total cost of revenue. Previously, we purchased most of our solar panels from one supplier for sales of our solar generating systems. Purchases from this supplier accounted for 25% of total cost of revenue for the first half of fiscal 2012. Currently, we have been able to obtain panels from multiple suppliers. For the first half of fiscal 2013, panel purchases from one supplier accounted for 6% of total cost of revenue. Our cost of revenue from OTA projects is recorded upon customer acceptance and acknowledgement that the system is operating as specified. Our production labor force is non-union and, as a result, our production labor costs have been relatively stable. We have been expanding our network of qualified third-party installers to realize efficiencies in the installation process. During fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012, we reduced headcounts and improved production product flow through the reengineering of our assembly stations.
Gross Margin. Our gross profit has been, and will continue to be, affected by the relative levels of our total revenue and our total cost of revenue, and as a result, our gross profit may be subject to quarterly variation. Our gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, or gross margin, is affected by a number of factors, including: (i) our level of solar PV sales which have greater margin volatility due to recent decreases in product costs versus our traditional energy management systems; (ii) our mix of large retrofit and multi-facility roll-out projects with national accounts; (iii) the level of our wholesale and partner sales (which generally have historically resulted in lower relative gross margins, but higher relative net margins, than our sales to direct customers); (iv) our realization rate on our billable services; (v) our project pricing; (vi) our level of warranty claims; (vii) our level of utilization of our manufacturing facilities and production equipment and related absorption of our manufacturing overhead costs; (viii) our level of efficiencies in our manufacturing operations; and (ix) our level of efficiencies from our subcontracted installation service providers.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist of: (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) sales and marketing expenses; and (iii) research and development expenses. Personnel related costs are our largest operating expense. In fiscal 2012, we increased headcount in our sales areas for telemarketing and direct sales employees. In 2013, we expect to continue to selectively increase headcount in our sales areas.
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs for:
(i) salaries and related personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation charges related to our executive, finance, human resource, information technology and operations organizations; (ii) public company costs, including investor relations, external audit and internal audit; (iii) occupancy expenses;
(iv) professional services fees; (v) technology related costs and amortization;
(vi) asset impairment charges; and (vii) corporate-related travel.
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs for: (i) salaries
and related personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation charges
related to our sales and marketing organization; (ii) internal and external
sales commissions and bonuses; (iii) travel, lodging and other out-of-pocket
expenses associated with our selling efforts; (iv) marketing programs;
(v) pre-sales costs; (vi) bad debt; and (vii) other related overhead.
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs for:
(i) salaries and related personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation . . .

firefighters, paramedics may have to help out from 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. >> reporter: d.c. fire chief says the vast majority of emergency calls happen between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. so why not have more paramedics working those hours? tonight derek is swroipped by the chief in our -- joined by the chief in our studio to explain his plan. >> chief ellerby's proposal still has to be approved. he's here with us tonight. welcome. the fact is you want to move 14 advanced life support vehicles from the night side to the day side, but if i do have a heart attack at 2:00 a.m. and you moved those vehicles, will my wait time be longer, and, b, will i have access to the top of the line equipment? >> you will have access to the top of the line equipment and there's no extended wait time. it will be pretty much the same. we have approximately ten calls per hour during that time. >> how many calls per hour do you have during the daytime. >> anywhere from 20 calls per
1:39 am
hour or 19 calls per hour. we know between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., those are our peak times. >> you're saying twice as many calls come in here per hour at that time of day as overnight. >> absolutely. >> we've got what some has said as the modes utilized ems service in the whole country. the union alleges that you're actually down 100 paramedics, emts. shouldn't you first hire enough people before you start moving folks off the shelf. >> we believe we are full strength. over the last two years, we have lost fewer paramedics than the previous two years. the idea of us hemorrhaging paramedics is not true. >> you're arguing you're not down 100 from where you should be or what would be optimal? >> we are hiring people as quickly as we can. we don't have as many vacancies as they say. >> but you have some. >> we have some. >> the union complains the
1:40 am
night shift will be overworked. is that possible? >> i don't know what you mean by overworked. they work a 24-hour schedule and i assume they work hard during those 24 hours. >> you've been making the rounds during the late nights. have you worried the criticism of the plan will be killed before you start. >> we're not afraid it will be killed. we will talk to the council, the town, and union presidents. the union that represents ems providers is very enthusiastic about this plan. so we'll talk to them tomorrow. we'll talk to our stakeholders and see what they say. >> all right, chief ken ellerby, thank you so much for your time today. derek right now federal agents are inside the home of general petraeus' former mistress, paula broadwell. agents at the scene won't say what they're looking for. however they were spotted carrying out boxes and taking photos inside her charlotte home. general petraeus resigned friday after admitting to a
1:41 am
marital affair with broadwell. broadwell is accused of sending threatening e-mails to kelley warning her to stay away from petraeus. she reported the e-mails, which triggered the investigation that led to the fbi to broadwell and evidence of the affair. members of the senate intelligence committee are asking why they didn't know the fbi was investigating david petraeus until he resigned. retired general richard myers told cbs this morning with investigation of this nature, notifying superiors is common. >> we saw lots of investigations in the military where the allegations were not proven yet, but that the chain of kidnapped was made aware that somebody was being looked at for whatever. >> before the scandal, general petraeus had been scheduled to answer questions on capitol hill this week about the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi. acting cia director mike morell will testify instead. we're expecting closing arguments in the preliminary

1:43 am
if we go over the fiscal cliff, that means the government gets $600 billion to apply to debt reduction. $500 billion more in taxes. $100 billion in spending cuts. the combination that guarantees that recession. you hear the phrase kicking the can down the road, dealing with it later. if we do that, what about the debt? >> our current national debt is $14 trillion, and it's projected, if we keep going on our current trajectory to almost double over the next ten years. >> reporter: joshua gordon is with the nonpartisan conquered coalition, says if the debt keeps growing as it is now projected to do. >> then you'll have a major economic problem as the debt starts to really become a cancer on the economy. the economy will collapse. >> reporter: wait a minute. the economy will collapse? you mean, worse than what we went through in 2008? >> oh, yes, it would be much worse if it continues going on
1:44 am
unfettered. >> reporter: long-term we're in big trouble, far worse than january's fiscal cliff, but short-term kicking the can down the road. >> the interesting thing is because the economy is still growing so sowly, that if we -- so slowly, if we kick the can for another year and don't do immediate deficit reduction, our economy is projected to do better than if we had deficit in the short-term. >> reporter: that sounds good. you don't have to raise taxes or cut popular programs. kick the can far enough down the road, you're not in office any more and it's some other politician's problem, which is exactly how we got here in the first place. deer recollect. >> thank you, gary. we've got a possible murder suicide tonight involving three relatives. three small kids, an uncle and a grand mom found dead in a garage in toledo. investigators say these victims might have died from c.o. poisoning inside that closed-up garage but they don't think this was an accident.

One of my top level categories is being styled like a subcategory. It has the same styling (a double right arrow) that the sub-categories have, but it's a top level category. The only thing is, it doesn't have any subcategories.
The main problem is that it has an emptyafter it. So even if I can figure out how to take away the double right arrow next to it through CSS, I'd want to remove the spaced caused by the empty
Any thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks!

DE BEQUE, Colo. (KKCO) - The small town of De Beque is facing some big decisions this November.
Voters there will have two ballot measures that deal with medical marijuana.
The first is called 2A. If passed, it would allow medical marijuana dispensaries to operate in De Beque.
Ballot measure 2B will then create an occupation tax of $5 for each sales transaction by any dispensary within the town.
That alone is estimated to raise $50,000 in tax revenue within the first fiscal year.
According to De Beque's Mayor, the town of nearly 500 could really use the money, but not everyone agrees.
If 2A and 2B are passed, they would become effective Jan. 1, 2011.

I moved my wordpress weblog to a subdomain, leaving in the main domain an aggregator page. Now I would like to redirect permalink requests to the new domain, leaving the access to the main page intact.
Basically, what I'm trying to do is to redirect all the addresses of this kind:
leaving access to kurai.eu and all the other standard subdirectory intact.
I tried this rule:
RewriteRule ^kurai\.eu/([0-9]+)/$ http://insertcoin.kurai.eu/$1/ [R=301,NC,L]
but it seems not working. Obviously I've got problems with regular expressions. Can you help me out with this?
Thank you!

Here's the Background of what I've done:
I'm a rank newbie to web-site building. I have a tiny amount of tech-type saavy, not much. My friends and I started a blog with me as web master. It's kind of for political rants. "I can do it!" (Yeah, right). So I get an account on FatCow.com. Thinking I'll practice setting it up before "going live", I start with the domain "jonstempsite.com". Install WordPress, pick a template, and start the blog Everything goes well. We name our blog "Simmering in the Middle".
Now I figure we need an appropriate domain name. I get the domain
"simmeringinthemiddle.com" registered to be managed at my "jonstempsite.com" FatCow account. So how do I switch domain names on the blog or website? I start reading. It seems to be more complicated than I had imagined. I thought it would be a simple
matter of pointing the domain name to my site. I thought the domain name was just a string of text that points to a directory on a server that you get all the name servers to recognize and translate to an IP address.
Instead, from my reading, it appears the domain name is an actual directory on a server somewhere. You have to install or move all your blog files into the domain you want to use. Every tutorial I study has me MOVING all my files to the new "domain", then changing text in different files to reflect the change. I'm not just
pointing the domain name to my blog's main directory as I thought I would be? I'm all confused now.
Finally, in desperation, I do this:
1)Using SimpleScripts that FatCow has provided for me, it allows me to "update location" of http://www.jonstempsite.com. I put in
"http://www.simmeringinthemiddle.com". Now my website seems to have the URL and domain name I want it to.
2)I use FatCow's "htaccess editor" to redirect jonstempsite.com to
simmeringinthemiddle.com. I don't even know if I'm supposed to do this, not having moved any site files from one directory or domain somewhere to another somewhere, but I do it. Am I "redirecting" into the same directory?
3) Logging in to the "Simmering in the Middle" blog as Admin I go to Settings -> General and change a) "WordPress Address (URL)" to
"http://www.simmeringinthemiddle.com" and b) "Site Address (URL)" to
"http://www.simmeringinthemiddle.com".(I don't know if I'm supposed to do this either. Like with 2), I picked it up from my reading tutorials as WordPress.org and elsewhere.)
4)Now at my "jonstempsite.com" account on FatCow I have a WordPress blog that seems to have the domain name, "simmeringinthemiddle.com", that I want it to have, but I have the suspicion I haven't done all I need to and might have done things I didn't need to. Because the tutorials have people changing text in this file I ftp'ed "wp-
config" to my local machine, opened it in notepad, said "hmmnn", closed it without changing anything. Here it is if I need to change or add text and replace in the root directory of whatever my files are now called on Fatcow's server.
5)Still at my jonstempsite.com account I have these conditions:
path to ftp: http://ftp.jonstempsite.com
incoming mail server: pop.jonstempsite.com
outgoing mail server: smtp.jonstempsite.com
webmail URL: http://webmail.jonstempsite.com
Do these matter? If someone visits our site and wants to email us, will they need to use jonstempsite.com. I have a clearer idea that the ftp address is okay.
So, my question is:
1)do I need to change anything in the WordPress files to make this change complete? e've had no traffic to speak of, and I don't KNOW of any internal absolute-type links.
2) Are the search engines going to get confused because we now have two domain names, or something. If so, how do I remove jonstempsite.com from association with simmeringinthemiddle.com. Can I keep my "Simmering in the Middle" blog at my jonstempsite.com account without causing external confusion somehow?
Thanks very very much for any help you can give me.

Lombardi has more of a clue than Cole, and I would not take any stock in this report other than repeating Pat Y.

Storing Your Life in a Virtual Desktop; Web-Based Storage and Software Reinvents an Old Idea, the Network Computer
By LISA GUERNSEY
Published: November 25, 1999
COLIN S. BRADY is one of those executives whose office is a computer screen, whether it is the one on his home computer, his work computer or his laptop. So last July, when both his laptop and his home computer crashed irreparably within a four-day period, it was as if two-thirds of his office had been destroyed.
By all measures, Mr. Brady should have been in a panic.
Instead, he remained calm. His work had been saved in what he called his ''safe deposit box in the sky,'' an online area that had been serving as his virtual desktop. Within a few days, he had a new laptop and had logged onto a Web site called Visto.com to retrieve his documents.
''It was a professional lifesaver,'' said Mr. Brady, a recruiter for TMP Worldwide Executive Search.
If last year's buzzword was Web portal, this year it is the virtual desktop, also known as the roaming desktop, the Internet desktop, and, in some circles, pervasive computing.
In 1998, portals were heralded for their ability to give people a central place to find personalized news, sports and stock quotes from any computer on the Internet.
Today, virtual desktops are being promoted for their convenience, but they take ''personal'' a step further: users have constant access to their files, their address books, their calendars.
''All the information you ever wanted to look at will be available at any time, anywhere,'' said Kevin Herrboldt, director of engineering for Cyrus InterSoft of Minneapolis, which is offering virtual desktop software called Speiros. ''You will no longer say, 'I have to go home and download that information from my computer.' ''
So far, virtual-desktop services are mostly available in bits and pieces. Some companies offer online storage, while others provide Web-based calendars or photo albums. A few companies, like MyFamily.com and Bungo.com, have tried to put those services in one package.
The newest services, which are still being tested, provide spreadsheet or word-processing programs. The programs do not need to be loaded onto a computer's hard drive. They can simply be borrowed or rented from companies like Cyrus InterSoft or Desktop.com, which keep the applications on servers and operate them over the Internet.
So far, that concept seems to appeal mostly to users who have lightning-fast connections.
But just as portals have not become essential for most computer users, virtual desktops may not live up to their promise either. How many people, for example, actually manage to keep the physical elements of their work and their private lives -- to-do lists, calendars, projects, phone numbers -- in one place?
''Companies are of the viewpoint: this is where you'll put your stuff, and that's what people will want to do,'' said Keith Dawson, editor of an e-mail newsletter, Tasty Bits from the Technology Front. ''It's not clear at all that that's what people want to do.''
Concerns about security, reliability and privacy, not to mention bandwidth, may keep some people from adopting the virtual desktop, Mr. Dawson said.
''I don't think it's the next big thing,'' he added. ''I think it's a small thing that may not work.''
Most people say they do not want to depend on just one computer. Many users, in fact, are already using an ad hoc version of the virtual desktop: They send documents to their home computer as e-mail attachments, then use e-mail to transfer them back to work. Or they set up roaming e-mail accounts, like Hotmail, that allow them to check their messages from any Web-connected computer, like those at airport kiosks.
Still, it is sometimes difficult to maintain a ''home base'' -- one place that contains the latest version of files. Some newly updated documents, for example, might be sitting on the computer at home when they are needed on the laptop or at work.
Now imagine, the advocates of virtual desktops say, if those files could always reside in something like Mr. Brady's ''safe deposit box in the sky.'' The latest changes would always be retrievable because the documents would be stored on servers maintained by companies that make a business of keeping that data safe.
That vision has been bandied about for years among computer manufacturers and information-technology enthusiasts.
Computer historians would argue that the vision was a reality before the days of personal computers, when people worked on dumb terminals that were connected to mainframes. In the consumer market, the idea is more recent.
In 1995, Oracle began developing a device it called the network computer, a stripped-down machine that tapped into a more powerful network.
Oracle's chief executive, Larry Ellison, predicted in 1997 that network computers would outsell PC's by 2000.
Today, most analysts agree that the network computer is as good as dead. But the companies jumping into the virtual desktop movement are not discouraged. In fact, many of them argue that as soon as their software gains acceptance among consumers, the idea of a network computer will probably take off. This time it will be called a Net appliance, a device like a cell phone or handheld computer.
