In this lesson, you will create a basic WebCenter Portal: Framework application. WebCenter provides an application template that provisions the new application with WebCenter Portal files and libraries – everything you need to develop and deploy a portal.
You will play the role of a portal developer assigned the task of developing the basic structure of the portal. By selecting the option to configure your application with standard portal features, you will ensure that all the necessary portal artifacts, like templates, catalogs, skins, default page, and the Resource Manger, are generated in the application. This will reduce the time required to develop your application.
As a developer, you will learn in this lesson how to work with the existing application template, and then in "Creating a New Page Template with a New Portal Skin" how to modify and change that default page template.
At the end of this lesson, the page you create will look like Figure 3-1 when you log in as Administrator and open the page in a web browser.
Figure 3-1 The Home Page with Administrator Privileges Enabled after Successful Login
This lesson contains the following steps:
Step 1: Create a Custom WebCenter Portal Application
Step 2: Use Seeded Page Templates to Build Your Portal Application
Before you begin the steps in this lesson, ensure you have followed the steps up to this point in the Tutorial.
Let's begin by creating a WebCenter Portal: Framework application, using the WebCenter wizard for creating new portal applications. The wizard uses an out-of-the-box Portal Application template that ensures the appropriate application components are included.
After you create your portal application, you can then configure the necessary connections to a database and content repository, as described in Chapter 6, "Connecting to and Managing Content Repositories."
To create a WebCenter Portal application:
In Oracle JDeveloper, in the Application Navigator, choose the New Application icon (Figure 3-2) and click it to launch the application wizard.
Figure 3-2 The New Application Icon in Application Navigator
Now in the Items list, navigate down the list and select WebCenter Portal Framework Application (Figure 3-3).
Figure 3-3 Create New WebCenter Portal Framework Application
On the Application Name tab, in the Application Name field, enter
MyPortalApplication, as shown in Figure 3-4. Click the Browse button in the Directory field to specify the directory on your system where you want your portal application to reside.
In the Application Package Prefix field (shown in Figure 3-4), enter
Figure 3-4 Naming Your Application - Step 1 of 5
Click Next.
The Name your project dialog appears in the wizard, as shown in Figure 3-5. On the Project Name tab, in the Project Name field, note that the project is named
Portal by default.
Figure 3-5 Name Your WebCenter Project - Step 2 of 5
Click Next.
On the Project Java Settings tab, in the Default Package field (Figure 3-6), note that the project package is named
my.portal.application.portal by default. A source root directory and an output directory are also specified by default.
Figure 3-6 Configure Java Settings in WebCenter - Step 3 of 5
Click Next.
The Configure WebCenter settings dialog appears, as shown in Figure 3-7. Ensure that the checkbox Configure the application with standard Portal features is checked.
Figure 3-7 Configure WebCenter Settings - Step 4 of 5
Click Next.
In the wizard, Step 5 of 5 appears in the Create WebCenter Portal - Framework dialog. A second project name is created, entitled
PortalWebAssets, as shown in Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8 Configure WebCenter Settings - Step 5 of 5
Click Finish.
Oracle JDeveloper now configures and generates the base XML files, offline databases, page flows, web pages, business components, web services, binding files, and enterprise Java Beans available for you to build and deploy your WebCenter Portal application, as shown in the MyPortalApplication Overview window (Figure 3-9).
Figure 3-9 The MyPortalApplication Overview Window with Java Files Selected
Return to the folders of your portal application in Application Navigator. A collapsed view of the folders shows your default project as named Portal, with Application Sources and Web Content as sub folders, shown in Figure 3-10.
Note PortalWebAssets is also a project. PortalWebAssets are intended to include static resources, like HTML and image files, in a newly created portal web assets project.
Figure 3-10 The MyPortalApplication Project in a Collapsed View in Application Navigator
Following the steps in the Wizard, your WebCenter Portal application is now populated with a portal project, named Portal, and a static application resources project called by default PortalWebAssets. Your portal project includes features like site navigation, page hierarchies, delegated administration, security, page templates, and runtime customizing. Your portal application can consume portlets, incorporate content management services, and include WebCenter social computing services. PortalWebAssets include static application resources like HTML and image files. By separating the static resources into a separate project, you can deploy those resources to a dedicated server.
Now expand the various folders and sub folders, like catalogs, navigators, page hierarchy, pages and page templates (shown in Figure 3-11), for a view of the logical structure and parent-child relationships created in your portal application.
Figure 3-11 Expanded Folders in MyPortalApplication Project Shown in Application Navigator
Now you need to change the context root of the portal application. Right-click Portal project and choose the Project Properties menu item, as shown in Figure 3-12.
Figure 3-12 The Project Properties Menu Item Selected to Change the Context Root of the Application
Select the Java EE Application node in the
Javadoc list, which appears in the Java EE Application dialog. In the Java EE Web Context Root field, enter
mytutorial, as shown in Figure 3-13, and click OK.
Ensure that the Java EE web context root is set to
Figure 3-13 The Java EE Application Dialog with mytutorial Entered in the Java EE Web Context Root Field
In Application Navigator, right-click the Portal project and choose Run to run the application.
A Configure Default Domain dialog appears, as shown inFigure 3-14. In the Administrator ID field, enter
weblogic. In the Passworld field, enter
weblogic1. Note that you can change any of these values at your discretion.
Figure 3-14 The Configure Default Domain Dialog to Enter Administrator ID and Password
Click OK.
Oracle JDeveloper now builds the application out of the box and displays the default portal page Home in a web browser, as shown in Figure 3-15.
Initially, this portal displays a single page, rendered as
Home. The
Home page is based on the seeded Globe page template (discussed in the next section), which provides all the initial functionality of the portal, including a banner, a login form with User Name and Password fields, and a navigation menu with a single link element --
Home -- displayed on the web page.
Figure 3-15 The Default Home Portal Page in a Web Browser
In the upper right corner of the
Home page, in the User Name field (Figure 3-16), you can log into the Home page. Enter
weblogic as the User Name. (Note that the weblogic user is seeded in the integrated WebLogic Server.) In the Password field, enter
Figure 3-16 Enter User Name and Password To Log in to Home Page
Figure 3-17 shows the portal Home page with Administrator privileges enabled after successfully logging in.
Note that Administrator privileges are now enabled because you can see the Administration link in the upper right corner of the web browser. This means the user, specified here as
weblogic, has administration privileges for the portal.
Figure 3-17 The Home Page with Administrator Privileges Enabled After Successful Login
For more information on creating an application based on the WebCenter Portal Application template, see "Preparing Your Development Environment" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal.
When you create a portal, you will base its look and feel on a page template. Page templates enable you to maintain a consistent look and feel across all the pages in your portal, and typically determine the artifacts, like banners, footers and navigation bars, that surround the main content of the page.
Using JDeveloper, you can create and publish page templates. In addition, you can also modify them to meet specific design or runtime requirements in your portal application.
By selecting the Configure the application with standard Portal features option, as shown in Figure 3-7, "Configure WebCenter Settings - Step 4 of 5", two seeded, out-of-the-box templates are added by default to your portal application:
pageTemplate_globe.jspx (shown in Figure 3-19) and
pageTemplate_swooshy.jspx (Figure 3-20).
Both templates offer essentially the same functionality but with a different set of graphics.
To view the
pageTemplate_globe.jspx template:
Navigate to the
pagetemplates folder in your portal project.
Double-click the folder and select the
pageTemplate_globe.jspx file, as shown in Figure 3-18.
Figure 3-18 The pageTemplate_globe.jspx File in the Page Templates Folder
Right-click the page template and choose Open. The file opens in JDeveloper, as shown in Figure 3-19.
Ensure that you select the Design tab in the lower left corner.
Figure 3-19 The pageTemplate_globe.jspx Seeded Page Template
Figure 3-19 shows the
pageTemplate_globe.jspx page template with each of its page features and artifacts (enumerated below) called out with their corresponding numbers in the illustration.
A link to the portal home page
A tag line
A welcome message
A link to the seeded Administration page
A login area that converts to a logout link when users are logged in
A navigation bar
An area for adding content to pages based on the template
A copyright notice
Figure 3-20 shows the
pageTemplate_swooshy.jspx page template, but without each of its page features and artifacts enumerated.
Figure 3-20 The Seeded PageTemplate swooshy.jspx
Using JDeveloper, you can modify and edit this default page template to meet your particular requirements. You can also create and build your own page template, as we discover in the next lesson in this Tutorial, ensuring that it has a common navigation bar, footer, and banner, then leave it up to your content contributors to populate the portal with content at runtime.
Following the steps outlined in this Tutorial, you have created a new portal application using Oracle JDeveloper.
In the next lesson, you will learn how to modify and edit an existing page template, with the goal of customizing its behavior to meet the particular needs of your end users. By completing that task, you will create a new page template in your portal application, further customizing its look and feel, and then set that template as an application resource.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 8, No. 2 Fall 1981 BOOK REVIEWS Dale A. Buckmaster, Editor UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE Tito Antoni, I Costi Industriali di Una Azienda Conciaria della Fine del Trecento, 1384-1388 (The Industrial Costs of a Tannery at the End of the Fourteenth Century, 1384-1388), (Pisa: Pacini Editore, 1973, pp. 52, No price available). Reviewed by Alvaro Martinelli Appalachian State University It is well known that during the 14th century the city of Pisa was a major center for the manufacture of and commerce in leather. There is ample evidence that, at the time, there existed fundamental basic conditions for the creation and development of a tanning in-dustry, including an ample supply of water, easy access to myrtle and chestnut groves, and a reliable source of livestock from the country. In addition, the close commercial relationship with the Saracens from North Africa had further stimulated the development of this industry since the 12th century. In fact, we have knowledge that in 1156 the sovereign of Tunis exempted all Pisan merchants from the payment of export duties on alum, a basic tanning ingre-dient. Additional supporting evidence enhancing the position of Pisa is to be found in a ledger discovered by the author among the docu-ments preserved in the State Archives of the city. The manuscript is classified as Book of Debit and Credit, and in it the merchant-tanner, Bartolomeo di Tingo, recorded all the costs for the purchase of hides and manufacture and sale of leather for the period 1384-1388. By following closely the allocation and classification of different costs, one may perceive that the basic industrial process used by Bartolomeo was not much different from other various techniques adopted until the second half of the 19th century when great prog-ress was made by the introduction of the tanning drum and the use of chromium salts.

Meditate to levitate. This is one phrase I was taught by my mindfulness teacher back in school. In order to be successful in any part of your life you should start with your soul, peace of mind, and a heart filled with love.
We have been taught to eat lean and clean, to avoid bad fats and processed food, stomp out that cigarette, and to avoid excess amounts of alcohol, all in combination with regular daily exercise. These are ALL very important key factors in lowering blood pressure, keeping obesity at bay and to give your body the nutrients it needs for healthy organs, body functions and energy levels.
If you are one of the 90% who doesn't go regularly to the gym to pump iron or run 10k marathons then here are some easy small tips in how to keep your heart happy and still have amazing health benefits. Gone are the days when it was only hippies, yogis and other goofy people who sat around with their mantras going on repeat, incense burning and dolphin's crying in the background. Taking those 5 minutes out of your day to mindfully sit and relax your mind and body will have amazing health benefits for you.
Our mental health is an important part of how our bodies are doing. The best part of meditation or living in the moment is those little moments that I would
like to call "brain-snoozes". Have you noticed that sometimes you totally switch off your brain while reading a book, watching a movie, staring into a fireplace, or sometimes even driving (not recommended by the way). All of a sudden you realize that you have no idea what you read, saw or how you got to where you are.
These little brain-snoozes are your mind going to its happy place and presto; you just did your old ticker some good. So no need to light up that incense if you feel awkward about it, instead start knitting, buy a jigsaw puzzle or go for a massage. Meditate to levitate is the key to a healthier happier you!
Taking those precious minutes each day to listen to your body, to relax your mind will not only lower your blood pressure, improve your heart rate, breathing and activate your brain. It will also motivate you to improve your daily habits and to strive for a healthier, leaner and meaner YOU! Conclusion? No ifs, ands or buts!

I am wondering where I might look to see what has been done in terms of Calculus of Functors for more general weak equivalences and Model Categories.
I am at least aware of some of the extended definitions of the main concepts in Calculus of Functors to weak equivalence such as homotopy limits, but I was wondering if a document existed that worked through the basic of COF in this setting.
I am aware also of Lurie's work here.(Thanks Harry for pointing this out.)
I appreciate your help.

Countdown to 2015: taking stock of maternal, newborn & child survival
Decade Report (2000-2010)
Countdown to 2015 is a global movement of academics, governments, UN agencies, foundations, health care associations and nongovernmental organizations formed in 2005 to track progress in reducing maternal and child deaths in the 68 countries where over 95% of these deaths occur. The movement aims to raise awareness and stimulate country action to accelerate progress towards reducing child mortality and improving maternal health.
Countdown collects and analyses data and produces profiles for 68 countries. Each country profile presents coverage data for a range of key health services, including:
- contraceptive use
- antenatal care
- skilled attendance at delivery
- postnatal care
- child health
- financial investments in maternal, newborn and child health
- equity of access, health systems and policy.
The 2010 report reviews progress over 2000–2010. "Countdown to 2015 Decade Report (2000-2010): Taking stock of maternal, newborn & child survival" was launched at the Women Deliver conference in Washington D.C., 7-9 June 2010.

The Potawatomi Indians were the earliest recorded residents of the Northbrook area. The tribe ceded their land and relocated in Iowa in 1833. The territory was then sold to Joel Sterling Sherman who bought 159 acres for $1.25 per acre. The area was named Shermerville in honor of Frederick Schermer, who donated the land for the village's first train station. By the 1870s, Shermerville developed into a farm town with well-established brick yards that prospered during the reconstruction of Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871.
The Village of Shermerville was incorporated in 1901 and by 1923 it had changed its name to Northbrook as an effort to improve its public image. The community had held a contest to find its new name and Northbrook was chosen because the west fork of the north branch of the Chicago River runs through the village.

Sales of new U.S. homes rose in November to a seven-month high, adding to evidence of stabilization in the housing market.
Purchases of single-family properties increased 1.6 percent to a 315,000 annual pace, figures from the Commerce Department showed Friday in Washington. The gain pushed the number of new homes on the market to a record low.
The industry that precipitated the 18-month recession that ended in June 2009 is on the mend as construction picks up, builder confidence improves and inventories of existing homes decline. At the same time, another wave of foreclosures may weigh on real estate values next year.
�All of the housing numbers have looked a lot better recently,� said Mark Vitner, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities LLC in Charlotte, North Carolina. �Things aren�t getting any worse now and that�s an improvement.�
The November pace matched the median of 73 economists� projections in a Bloomberg News survey. Estimates ranged from 298,000 to 350,000. The government revised October demand to a 310,000 rate from a previously reported 307,000.
Stocks held gains after the report, with the Standard & Poor�s 500 Index climbing 0.4 percent to 1,258.71 at 10:14 a.m. in New York. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.01 percent from 1.95 percent late Thursday.
Separate figures Friday showed personal spending rose less than forecast and an increase in orders for big-ticket items. Purchases rose 0.1 percent for a second month, according to the Commerce Department. Incomes also grew 0.1 percent, the weakest in three months, after a 0.4 percent rise in October.
Factory Orders
Orders for durable goods jumped 3.8 percent in November, led by a surge in bookings for aircraft, the agency also said. Demand for business equipment dropped 1.2 percent in November, the most since January.
The increase in new-home purchases was paced by a 12.9 percent jump in the South and a 7.5 percent gain in the Midwest Demand plunged 26.3 percent in the Northeast to the lowest on record. Sales slumped 16.9 percent in the West.
The median price of a new house purchased last month fell 2.5 percent from November 2010 to $214,100, the cheapest in a year, Friday�s report showed.
The supply of homes at the current sales rate dropped to 6 months� worth, the lowest since March 2006, from 6.2 months in October. There were 158,000 new houses on the market at the end of last month, the fewest since record-keeping began in 1963.
Weakest Year
Still, 2011 may surpass last year as the weakest ever for new-home sales. Demand is on pace to reach 304,000 this year, less than the 323,000 in 2010 that was the lowest since data- keeping began, according to Bloomberg calculations.
Sales of previously owned homes, which make up about 94 percent of the market, rose 4 percent to a 4.42 million annual pace, the most since January, the National Association of Realtors said this week. The group revised down figures going back to 2007 by an average 14 percent, putting them more in line with other measures of demand.
New-home sales, which are tabulated when contracts are signed, have lost their ability to forecast the broader market as demand shifts to previously owned houses. Purchases of existing houses are calculated when a deal closes about a month or two later.
Builders increased work on new projects last month. Housing starts rose 9.3 percent to a 685,000 rate in November, the fastest pace since April 2010, Commerce Department data show. That compares with last year�s tally of 587,000, the second- fewest on record after 2009�s record low of 554,000.
KB Home
KB Home, the Los Angeles-based homebuilder that targets first-time buyers, this week reported a decline in quarterly profit and gross margins weaker than the company forecast earlier.
At the same time, the Los Angeles-based builder said net orders increased 38 percent in the fourth quarter from the same three months last year.
Policy makers are pushing programs aimed at reviving the U.S. housing market. The Obama administration this month started a new version of the federal Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP, after the original plan helped less than a quarter of the people targeted to lock in lower mortgage rates.
Federal Reserve officials reiterated at a meeting this month that they will keep their benchmark interest rate near zero until at least mid-2013. The central bank in September decided to reinvest maturing housing debt into new mortgage-backed securities instead of Treasuries.

Last week I added a "Blogroll" (see right side of blog). Essentially the blogroll lets everyone visiting my site see what other blogs I subscribe to (via RSS Feed), in this case it is only the blogs that are related to Hispanic genealogy and/or Hispanic family history.
The Hispanic genealogy blogroll is pretty short right now, and I would really like to expand it. If you know of any other blogs related to Hispanic genealogy let me know. I would love to read them, and make others aware of them too. If you know of any other blogs please let me know...go ahead and add them to the comments section of this post.

Hi, I just discovered this blog and have found it very useful. I have let the yahoo group on peruvian genealogy know about it and the digitalization of civil records in Lima so hopefully more people will sign up. I found a blog on last names that are originally from Peru, it really is the first in its kind in trying to do an Heraldica on last names that are not european. http://apellidosperuanos.wordpress.com/

Let $X$ be a linearly ordered topological space with a countable dense subset. Does it necessarily follow that $X$ is metrizable?
EDIT: Apollo's comment int he answers implies the answer is negative. Let $X$ be the open unit interval $(0,1)$ and adjoin to every real number $x$ a "ghost number" $x'$ such that $x'$ is the immediate successor of $x$. The "real rationals" are dense in this space. Simply note that sets of the form $(y, x]$ with $x$ and $y$ real and $[x',y)$ with $x'$ ghost and $y$ real form a basis, and these sets all contain a real rational. This space cannot be metrizable, because the subspace topology on the set of all ghost reals is exactly that of the Sorgenfrey line.

Rikramer needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 196 designs submitted by 54 freelance designers.
yesDater is a new kind of dating site. The premise of yesDater is to provide the following differentiating factors compared to traditional dating sites:
- Easier,
- Less frustrating,
- Less time intensive, and
- A more relevant and rewarding experience
The 'Yes" in the name comes from a user experience where a member can chose "Yes" or "No" to whether or not they are interested in another member.
- We are targeting both males and females. Dating sites typically have a harder time recruiting female members so brand/marketing efforts will likely need to skew marginally more to females (without alienating males).
Other demographic traits of those who will be drawn to the site:
- Technology savy
- 18-34 years old
- Educated (Bachelor / Graduate degrees)
- Employed / Student (i.e., very busy!)
1.The typeface should be clear. We want something that is not complex and stands out.
2. It should be clear that there are two words in the name. Foursquare was successful in using different colors to separate both words (just an idea)
3. We don't want people to overlook the 'r' and think the name contains the word 'date' instead of 'dater'. Nothing needs to be done to specifically highlight this letter, but it's worth keeping in mind in case you were thinking of using a thin font that could cause the 'r' to be missed at a glance
4. Logo should display Web 2.0 elements (vibrant colors, possibly a subtle 3-D feel, bold type). Please consult the following examples which have successfully utilized this style: skype, foursquare, hashable
5. Nothing overly cliche (e.g, no large hearts, pictures of cupid, a male & female avatar embracing)
6. One possibility - though I'm not a designer so don't feel constrained by this: Possibly integrate a check mark to represent a user indicating their interest in another member. (Similar to the experience in grade-school when a girl would pass back a note to a boy and it would read: "Do you like me?" with two blank check marks next to the words "yes" and "no" - Please don't include a letter with this text in the logo - just trying to get you thinking about the general concept)
Have fun and let me know if I can provide any more details!

Time Warner Cable said that service was largely restored after a problem during routine network maintenance caused a nationwide outage of its Internet service Wednesday morning.
The company told CNBC in a statement that during a routine network maintenance at around 4:30 a.m. ET "an issue with our Internet backbone created disruption with our Internet and On Demand services. As of 6am ET services were largely restored as updates continue to bring all customers back online."
The problem affected all of Time Warner Cable's markets and started at 4:30 a.m. ET sparking widespread complaints on social networks. The company is working to bring all customers back online.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a statement Wednesday that The New York State Department of Public Service will investigate the outage as part of its review of Comcast's proposed merger with New York-based Time Warner Cable.
"Today's widespread internet outage that has apparently impacted more than 11 million customers at Time Warner - which is based in New York - is a stark reminder that our economy is increasingly dependent on a reliable broadband network," Cuomo said in a statement.
Time Warner Cable reached a settlement with the Federal Communications Commission for $1.1 million on Monday, following an investigation last year that found the company did not properly report multiple network outages.
Time Warner customers across the country took to Twitter to vent their frustrations with lost service:
So my Time Warner services went down 12 hours ago. Pleased to see they've now taken the entire country and their own site down to fix me. — Eric Slivka (@eslivka) August 27, 2014
Anyway if Time Warner Cable stays down for a while we can all just switch to oh wait nevermind — Alex Fitzpatrick (@AlexJamesFitz) August 27, 2014
Wow, looks like there's a nation-wide Time Warner outage. Even their site is down. Anyone else having issues? http://t.co/AxdA8eg6Xj — Dan Leveille (@danlev) August 27, 2014
Wow. Went to see why we had no internet - nationwide Time Warner outage. That's pretty crazy. — Cory Foy (@cory_foy) August 27, 2014

My husband and I picked up a handheld GPS last night, and it makes geocaching a little easier instead of trying to bring the Garmin for the car! We trekked out this morning on our bikes on the trail out in the country. It's beautiful and very peaceful. Now there are wildflowers growing along the sides. But outside of town it's all gravel, so it's quite the workout but oh so fun!
The best part is….We went 6 miles!!! I got a lot of AP's for that! We were out for 2 hours. We had to stop for a couple minutes here and there to find the caches, but wow am I worn out now!!
Here are some pictures:
Just a pole, right?
This was stuck at the top of it in a hiding place.
We had to hike down a bit to find this one! Do you see it hiding in there? We had to pull the rocks away to find it.
You can just barely see the forest green lid in this tree in the center.
That's not a nail that you see, you can pop that out with a pen and it opens up and you log your name. This was on a sign.
This was stuck to the bottom of a big telephone pole, the black box is magnetic.
You just have to do it to see how much fun this is!! There were a couple that we couldn't find, but we'll have to go look again!
What a great way to get some activity in!!

Q: I see predator control options for geese and swans, but what about options for other animals, like raccoons?
Greg – Catawissa, PA
A: Overhead predators aren't the only visitors looking for free sashimi from your fish pond or lake. Four-legged nocturnal critters like raccoon and opossum may also stop by for a snack. So what are the best ways to stop terrestrial animals from looking for food or water on your property?
The Predator's Predator
Featuring flashing red LED lights that mimic the eyes of predators hunting and feeding at night, Nite Guard Solar® will frighten fish thieves and send them scurrying. The device uses an energy-saving solar panel to charge the lights, and an automatic photosensitive switch ensures the unit turns on when you (and your fish!) need it the most. Nite Guard Solar's weatherproof construction includes a mounting tab on top, making it easy to screw to a post or stake for maximum effect.
Spray Them Away
Another option for scaring off predators is a motion-activated sprinkler like the Contech ScareCrow®. Though it requires a hose connection and battery to operate, the sensor detects movement in a 1,300-square-foot area and sprays water at unwanted—and startled—guests. The sprinkler head features spray distance adjustment, sprinkler arc adjustment and a low-energy trigger mechanism. The ScareCrow® helps to set up a boundary around your lake and protect its inhabitants.

Building a Legacy
The purpose of life is not only to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Over the past several weeks, the Forever family has suffered some tremendous losses; Forever Business Owners, a leader in our industry, a Country Manager. I can't tell you how sad I was to hear this news and how much I've thought of their friends and families through this difficult time. As I've thought about each of these individuals over the last few weeks, I've been struck by the impression that each has left on our Forever family, and the world.
Through their compassion, hard work and dedication to help others, each of these people has left a legacy that will have a ripple effect throughout their communities, countries and really, the world. Though it has shaken us to learn of their passing, through this service to others, their legacies live on.
One of these people was the very embodiment of determination. He built a successful Forever business in one of our largest countries in terms of land mass but lowest population density. When your closest neighbors are miles away over rugged and sparse terrain, you must work very hard, day by day, over many years to build a successful business. You must be dedicated and hard working. Every mile he traveled to share his passion about Forever's products and business built a part of his legacy.
Another opened one of our countries and forged a new path. His kindness and drive directly led to the success of many FBOs, yet he never sought the spotlight. He saw the value in celebrating others' success and lifting them up to accomplish their dreams. Every smile and kind word shared, every value instilled in a new Forever Business Owner, another part of his legacy.
Sometimes we are lucky enough to cross paths with someone whose spirit seems larger than life itself. This member of the Forever Family quickly became a leader in our business, not just in her country – but all over the world. Her passion was truly contagious, her belief in building up those around her, unwavering and these spread like wildfire to everyone who was fortunate enough to hear her speak. Each person she shared her knowledge and inspiration with continues to add to her legacy.
The lessons learned from these individuals are many. We are all afforded an amazing opportunity each day to create a part of our own legacies. Every choice we make, every life we touch, ever life that touches ours, these are the connections and impressions that can truly make a difference between a life lived and a life lived well.
Forever Yours,
Rex Maughan

How would you rank Beijing in terms of the Olympic Games that you've watched?
For me: Sydney > Beijing > Athens > Atlanta.
The convenient viewing times are probably a factor, but the Sydney games were brilliant in general IMO.
Atlanta just seemed wrong to me, even though I was young at the time. I understood that the Olympics were usually held in the great cities of the world and Atlanta (with all due respect) probably isn't even in the top 5 cities in the US.

More than ever we live in a world of data and rules—business, human, environmental. The use of daily, weekly and monthly analytical monitoring to determine patterns in business data is common: Identifying what we are doing well, determining how we can do it better and recognizing problems before they can result in material damage. Data analytics can be as simple as finding duplicate payments in accounts payable or evaluating sales patterns to determine the best location for a warehouse. Data analytics can also be as complicated as identifying statistical outliers for potential fraudulent activity. It can use a single spreadsheet or extract data from multiple platforms and formats. For some, there is a joy in learning the secrets that data hold. This white paper was written to illuminate what data analytics has to offer.

Living in a smaller home like we do, space is a commodity. Thanks to folks like the talented Kelly Edwards, host of (one of my favorite networks) HGTV's "Design on a Dime" and STYLE Network's "Tacky House," those of us living in real houses without a large budget or designer are able to have great tips, suggestions for affordable design options. One thing I like? She focuses on affordable design options for kids. My kids have 11×11 bedrooms. Each has 2 windows and 2 doors (entrance and closet) . There isn't a lot of wall space or floor space left after you factor in a dresser and bed..which means there isn't a lot of storage space. Thanks to ideas from Kelly Edwards, we can take the design and storage UP- to the walls, with Hot Wheels "Mid-Air Madness" Wall Tracks. We tried out some Hot Wheels Wall Tracks this winter, but passed them along to a local charity for donation. These are so much fun and what a great way to maximize space – and add some fun decor to a little boy's room. No big mess and tons of fun. We put ours up under my son's Batman bed in his "cave. Very cool!
Some bloggers had the chance to ask Kelly Edwards some questions a few weeks ago, and you can check out the video below to hear more about what fellow bloggers wanted to know, and what Kelly had to say for suggestions for some DIY Design Tips! I know that I need to take some of these ideas and implement them, especially as my kids get older and play with the same toys for longer periods.

Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday since I evolved beyond footed pajamas. With the progression of my avocation for cooking into a classically-trained vocation, the holiday has served as blank and massive canvas framed by only a few traditional ingredients.
I once wrote that a Thanksgiving menu was a take on the old bridal adage – Something old, something new, something borrowed and something pumpkin. An old, family recipe for stuffing, for example, accompanied by the latest-and-greatest in cranberry fashion. The addition of parsnips to the mashed spuds that you tasted at a local farm-to-table restaurant this fall and one of the volumes of possibilities for preparation d'gourd.
At the heart of the holiday, however, aren't just a communal meal and more calories than non-western families consume in a week. When President Lincoln proclaimed the day it was to offer thanks for the reunification of a torn nation (I think our nation could use a bit of reconciliation after our last election… but I digress). Today's version of the holiday offers the opportunity to state – aloud or in silent acknowledgement – the oceans of things for which we are greatful.
A number of my friends embarked on a month long Thanksgiving this year by posting a daily note as to that which they are thankful in their lives. Family, friends and health seem to top most lists. Even though "health" can seem like something more of a whish than a reality for us living with multiple sclerosis, a good day or series of good days can be a gift for which to be gracious, indeed.
This year, with the mass of things to be done and only a pocketful of days in which to complete them all, we have opted for a simple "Thanksgiving'ish" menu at a local gastro-pub for ourselves and visiting family. No less, however, will it be a day of true gratitude and reflection.
Of the many things for which I stand (supported with crutch or cane) thankful, I offer my most sincere and profound thanks for the members of the Life with MS Blog community. Just as my crack medical team an my men's self-help group and the National MS Society I thank all of you for making my life with MS an easier path to walk… even when walking is difficult.
We all have much for which to be thankful – MS or not. I offer you this page to spout your gratitude and type your appreciations. Sure, "It could be worse than MS", but I think there are far more things about living with disease than simply that it's not as bad as something else.
Wishing you and your family the best of health and a Happy Thanksgiving (we'll be taking Friday off as a way of saying "Thank You" to the hard working folks at EverydayHealth.com who publish our blog).

Hello 2011Friday, January 21st, 2011
I know I must sound like a broken record. Where does time go? It seems like just yesterday that I last posted. Once I stop and look around it's easy to see where time goes. I'm really proud of all we have accomplished this past few months. I think everyone here on the farm is tickled with how things are too. I know Madison really is. We've put off buying a trailer to transport our horses for 2 years. I'm glad to say we finally pulled the trigger and bought a nice trailer. I think it was worth the wait. We were able to find a like new Ponderosa gooseneck for a lot less than I would have paid for a new one. In the process we met some nice folks from the western part of the bluegrass state. The trailers previous owners Kim and Bev Braun own a Buffalo farm. I was very intrigued by these animals. Madison and I were all ears and seriously entertaining the idea of getting a few until we found out they don't mix well with other livestock. We just aren't willing to give up our cows, goats, and horses.
We are rolling right along on the fencing. We have been able to get up a board fence around the treehouse, making a fenced in area for the kids to play without having to dodge droppings. I'm really happy with how it turned out. We even added a small paddock were we can hold the horses when we are waiting to load them. We've also started the field fence around the rock shelters we plan to fence in for the goats. Madison decided her big Christmas present this year should be an investment. She chose to buy rabbit cages, feeders, and waterers. I fronted her the money to buy 4 New Zealand Red rabbits. As soon as she pays me back she owns the rabbits and gets any money from selling their future offspring.
Old man winter has set in on us much more than most years in the past few. To date we have had 4 6+ inch snows and several days with temps in the single digits. I can handle the snow a lot better than the cold. The snow does make it very tough to make any progress toward cleaning out the chicken houses. The chickens at farm 2 sold Jan 2. It only took us 2 days to get all the slats out and get the litter ready to load. We are getting a lot smarter about how we move the slats. In the past we have done the majority of the moving things by hand. This time around we used the 3316 to stack the slats in stacks 3 high, then double stacked the stacks of 3 and moved 6 at a time with the 6000. As soon as I can get another set of pallet forks to fit the skid steer quick attack I plan to use the 7010 instead of the 6000 to move the stacks of 6. That's as far as we've been able to go though because of snow and sloppy weather.
While things are going good with the family and in general on the farm I find myself becoming more and more unhappy with my arrangement with Cobb. This years "State of Cobb" meeting really opened my eyes to the plight that contract poultry growers face. In particular we were told how Tyson had a good year and how Tyson and Cobb were investing in several complexes. There was a lot of talk about costs, specifically about the cost of oil. It seemed to me everyone understood costs were going up. They did, atleast until someone in the crowd asked if there would be a cost of living raise this year. At that point we were told we needed to prove our costs were going up. To me that is just another example of the folks with the money doing anything they can to hold onto it. Cobb is in the chicken business. They have chicken houses. They incur the same costs we incur. Afterall we are all raising Cobb chickens. For some reason they need us to prove our costs. It seems certain that they could simply look at their costs and tell that our costs are or are not increasing. They feel the need to make us prove what they already know. I guess what irks me the most is that I'm asked to do this by someone who most likely sees chickens and chicken houses on a very limited basis. Furthermore I'd say it's been a long time since they worked a week with as many hours in it as me. I get up every morning and work until after dark. I haven't played golf since I started the chicken houses 3 years ago, can they say the same? I've missed so many important functions. Academic team meets. Cheer competitons. Basketball games. Even simple dinners at night. All because I'm doing something on the farm. Somehow though I'm supposed to take more time away from my family and my personal life to prove my costs are going up! Just doesn't seem fair to me. As far as I'm concerned Cobb can keep their raise. I'm not taking one more minute away from my family to prove anything. It will be very interesting to see how the proposed agriculture law changes shake out.
The kids are doing great. They're growing by leaps and bounds. I cannot believe Katie will be 16 in September. It makes me feel so old to have a child that will be driving. Since this summer we have been talking college choices and possible majors. Somehow she thinks her UK wildcat fan dad is supposed to think it's okay for her to attend Louisville. The only thing that could be worse would be her wanting to attend Tennessee or Arkansas. Kaylee is cheering yet again this year and will be heading to the Can Am Nationals in Myrtle Beach South Carolina in March for cheer competition. Garett is still being a little bookworm. He captained the quick recall portion of his academic team and medaled in Science. He is really becoming intrigued by art. He is strating to pick up sketch pads and charcoal pencils. It seems like he teaches me something every day. Madison is as energetic as ever. She played basketball this year and wants to play again next year and cheer. We are hoping to get her and Kaylee some extra gymnastics lessons.
I've added a few more pics and will be adding more as time allows. Be sure to check them out. For those of you who wish to follow along on a more frequent basis send us a friend request on facebook to get our daily news feed. Thanks for reading!

Pacific Gas, Sun rebate program gets mixed reaction
An offer by PG&E to give rebates to data centers that replace hardware with new Sun servers has caught the industry's eye.
The move by Sun Microsystems Inc. and Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PG&E) to team up on an energy efficiency program has some in the utility and environmental industries giving kudos, while competitors in the server market say they aren't that impressed.
The announcement by Sun earlier this month includes the offer of a rebate to PG&E customers who replace old servers in their data center with Sun's new Sun Fire T1000 or T2000 machines.
Andrew Fanara, leader of the Energy Star product development team at the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), said the program is a good start. Next month, he plans on visiting with other utilities to talk about energy efficiency in general and foresees other server vendors and utilities starting similar programs.
Fanara said that many utilities are trying to offset the amount of fossil fuel generation they're creating, and giving customers rebates for saving energy is one way of doing that. And though the Sun/PG&E program may not have a huge impact on the energy market on its own, it could steamroll as others take notice and follow suit with their own programs.
"Obviously what's happening is a good thing," he said. "First attempts at these types of programs might be unwieldy, but over time companies and utilities can participate and transform the market at a rapid pace."
There's no doubt that competitors will take notice. At the Northeast utility NStar, for example, spokesman Michael Durand said the company hadn't heard of the Sun/PG&E program but was interested in what it was about. NStar and other utilities like PG&E are already part of a group called 80 Plus, which offers incentives to computer manufacturers to build servers and desktop computers with power supplies that are 80% efficient or better.
Durand said that NStar also has programs that include incentives for customers that install high-efficiency cooling devices in their data centers.
Bob Doherty, data center manager at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, wants to go after energy credits through NStar as is being done with PG&E. But in talking with other data center managers, Doherty found that they can't justify replacing equipment, because there isn't enough payback to do so.
Still, depending on what kind of program its utility sells, Doherty said it may be worth it.
"PG&E is doing exactly what I hope NStar and other local energy providers offer," he wrote in an email. "I have been told that NStar does offer energy conservation credit -- we are proactively investigating this."
Others weren't as optimistic in their analysis of the Sun and PG&E move, however.
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP), for one, isn't impressed. Olivier Helleboid, vice president of adaptive infrastructure, said HP is more focused on cutting the cost of an entire system, adding that the greatest reductions would come from looking at overall operations.
Lin Nease, chief technology officer of HP business critical systems, called it a publicity stunt.
"If you look at the lifecycle, the rebate is a miniscule part of the equation," Nease said. "Sun and PG&E get PR [public relations] on this. But all of us are dealing with the issue of power management in servers."
Mark Feverston, Unisys director of enterprise servers and storage, argued that offering the rebate on the Niagara servers wouldn't have a large market impact because he felt that demand for Unix-based servers was declining. He added that he thought the growth of virtualization, not single servers themselves, would drive up power efficiency and push down the total cost of ownership.

Campaign in Boone County, Ark. supports 1 Million Meals initiative.
HARRISON, Ark. – Students and teachers in the Bergman School District recently raised $600.10 during a one-week campaign to help reduce hunger in North Central Arkansas.
The fundraiser was in support of Arvest Bank's 1 Million Meals initiative, a two-month food and funds drive to collect the equivalent of one million meals for local food partners across the four-state area Arvest serves. In Boone County, all donations made to the 1 Million Meals campaign benefit Ozark Share and Care. Students held a "Crazy Hat Day" and asked for donations to the campaign in order to participate. Teachers had the opportunity to participate in a Jeans Day in exchange for a donation.
"This is a wonderful contribution from these students and their teachers and we appreciate their commitment to help us reduce hunger in our area," said Scott Tennyson, market president for Arvest Bank in Harrison. "Every dollar provides five meals for those who are hungry so their donation translates into three thousand meals!"
Residents of North Central Arkansas can participate in Arvest Bank's 1 Million Meals campaign through June 3 by donating nonperishable food items or monetary donations at any Arvest Bank location in the area. For additional information, visit www.arvest.com/millionmeals.
Submitted questions will be answered by an Arvest banker and may appear on the Arvest Blog.

Remember LenDale White losing 30 pounds by cutting out tequila? This is like the PG-13 version of that. Butler has shed the pounds by giving up his favorite faux-edgy, marketed-to-tweens soda.
The Wizards forward took the first step in battling his addiction by admitting that he has one. And I'd say that "at least six" cans of Mountain Dew per day qualifies as an addiction. He kicked the habit this summer, and lost 11 pounds in the process, which is somewhat confusing as caffeine is supposed to curb the appetite.
Either way, it wasn't easy:
To try and give this up was CRAZY for me! I was going through withdrawals. I was in the bed sweating. My wife would turn over in the bed and ask "Are you OK?" .Honestly, those first two weeks without The Dew was the roughest two weeks of my life. I'm talking headaches, sweats and everything. Before that I drank at least six 12 ounce Mountain Dews a day.
Also, he's increased his hours of sleep per night to: "some."

Trip Report: Dash Cafe
Posted by TheShot on 10 Jun 2011 | Tagged as: Beans, Café Society, Local Brew, Roasting
икониSince we've long tired of reading about Stumpgate, it's time to change the coffee conversation. So instead of the global growth and ubiquity of Stumptown Coffee Roasters, we turn our attention to something closer to home: the growth and ubiquity of Blue Bottle coffee.
This relatively new neighborhood café caters to local UCSF medical students with a modernized coffee pedigree. There are a few sidewalk tables along Judah St. out front that are rarely used. Inside the space is a bit schizophrenic, starting with the bright, clean room with several tables upon entry with its wide windows facing Judah St. It's typically filled with laptop zombies where conversation is almost discouraged.
Beyond that is the small serving area for waffles, lunch bites, and coffee — including a two-group La Marzocco Linea machine and a set of four Blue-Bottle-branded Bonmac drippers. In the back and somewhat below is a darker, more social, lounge-like space. It typically has fewer customers in daytime hours. They also have a wall of wine selections.
They pull espresso shots with an even medium brown crema of decent thickness. It's served as a slightly high pour, even for a doppio, but the body is still good. It has a fresh Blue Bottle flavor that's a cross of smokiness and stone-fruit, and it's not overly bright. Served in classic brown Nuova Point cups.
A solid espresso, definitely. But one we feel we've tasted many times before in a consistently growing number of places in San Francisco — a city that yearns to celebrate its diversity.

Do you know which of the Blue Bottle blends they use?
They started out with 17ft, then sidamo ethopia (single origin), and now they're using opascope (at least when i went by 2 days ago)
Opascope? Is that new or custom for this shop?
