I live in ohio. My back yard is up against a public pool. There is 8 feet of trees and poison ivy between the pool property and my property line. I was hoping someone could give me suggestions for evergreen type planting I could put on my property line to block out the view. Note: Deer are heavy in this area and the yard is shady because of the buffer zone of trees. They are tall with leaves up high so they don't block the view. I originally thought I would plant pine trees but I don't think they would thrive due to the shade. Rodies and azalia are deer food. Any suggestions |

Taxus or Yew are lush, dark green and dense, how tall do you need then to grow, there are many varieties, and the dense branching will help to block some of the noise as well as the view. Janet |

If you are concerned at all about deer don't use Yews. I made that mistake about 10 years ago in the back garden of my former house. The deer stripped the Yews as far as they could reach. You might think of hemlocks if wooly adelgid is not a problem in your area. It is a problem here in coastal Maine and elsewhere along eastern seaboard. |

This study reports spore germination, early gametophyte development and change in the reproductive phase of Drynaria fortunei, a medicinal fern, in response to changes in pH and light spectra. Germination of D. fortunei spores occurred on a wide range of pH from 3.7 to 9.7. The highest germination (63.3%) occurred on ½ strength Murashige and Skoog basal medium supplemented with 2% sucrose at pH 7.7 under white light condition. Among the different light spectra tested, red, far-red, blue, and white light resulted in 71.3, 42.3, 52.7, and 71.0% spore germination, respectively. There were no morphological differences among gametophytes grown under white and blue light. Elongated or filamentous but multiseriate gametophytes developed under red light, whereas under far-red light gametophytes grew as uniseriate filaments consisting of mostly elongated cells. Different light spectra influenced development of antheridia and archegonia in the gametophytes. Gametophytes gave rise to new gametophytes and developed antheridia and archegonia after they were transferred to culture flasks. After these gametophytes were transferred to plastic tray cells with potting mix of tree fern trunk fiber mix (TFTF mix) and peatmoss the highest number of sporophytes was found. Sporophytes grown in pots developed rhizomes.

I'm looking for suggestions. I need a plant that is evergreen, can take full sun and likes wet feet. It will live next to this fountain where the umbrella grass is. It's southern exposure, getting shade in the afternoon because of our swing garage. |

Canna (which it looks like you already have) and Texas Star/Swamp Hibiscus. |
- Posted by john_bonzo 8b (My Page) on Sun, Jun 6, 10 at 23:07
Canna was also the first thing to come to my mind. A purple-leaf variety like Wyoming, Black Knight, or Tropicanna would look great there. Louisiana Iris live in the swamps and would do well there, too. |
Yup, cannas do very well there, which is what is on the far side of the fountain. They die to the ground each winter so it's a very bare spot come December. I had another board suggest evergreen giant liriope in the back and dwarf loropetalum 'purple pixie' up front. I think come Fall I'll have to look into that combination. |
- Posted by john_bonzo 8b (My Page) on Mon, Jun 7, 10 at 8:41
Neither Liriope or Loropetalum like wet feet! Some more ideas that tolerate wet feet: Arrowwood Viburum, Louisiana Iris, and Swamp Milkweed. |
I'd suggest La. Iris along with some of the others. Just about any hardy hibiscus would likely do well too. One not mentioned that I'd highly recommend is hedychium ("butterfly ginger.")If the area stays moist, hedychium would do well and they put out gorgeous white blooms from late summer till frost that smell just like gardenias. |
- Posted by fool4flowers Copperas Cove, Tx 8 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jun 7, 10 at 22:37
Evergreen is the problem here, lol. I can't think of many evergreens that wouldn't get too large for the spot. Just put a decorative pot or something over things in the winter to hide the bare spots, lol. |

Strange Names And LEDs
At the time, as is so often the case, it will have seemed like a good idea. It is 2011 and Coldplay are set to release their latest album. A name has to be chosen. Discussion bubbles away and, at the end of it, a title is found. It is, of course, Mylo Xyloto.
Now, in 2012, this decision has become one the band is starting to regret. Coldplay are a global band and no one quite knows how to pronounce it, or what it means for that matter.
Speaking to (the American) ABC last week, Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin, said: "It's just something that we thought looked really good."
"But everywhere we go around the world people pronounce it in the most crazy ways and we're beginning to regret it now."
Chris said the title is "two words that you couldn't even Google."
The meaning? Well, The Atlantic reports that "Mylo" was a term Chris liked (though exactly why remains unclear), while "Xyloto" is a portmanteau mixing xylophone and toe. Meanwhile, a blog on The Guardian suggests it is "a vague reference to musical fingers and toes."
Meanwhile, the band has confirmed, to the joy and cheers of its Australian fans, that they are definitely headed this way.
They will be here in November, and will be expecting the audience to wear LED wristbands.
They said they will be handing out the wristbands, which have lights controlled by the band.

Submitted by the Madison County Sheriff's Office
Madison County Sheriff Ben Stewart reports that on Tuesday, August 5, at 4:12 a.m., deputies of the Madison County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a house on Garner Street in Greenville regarding a male subject entering the residence and attacking a female. While en-route deputies received updates from other 911 callers reporting that a man was dragging a woman down the street by her neck and the woman was screaming for help.
Upon arriving to the area deputies located a man standing beside a woman in the roadway approximately a quarter of a mile from the originating address. The deputies recognized the male to be Curtis Jones, who was known by the responding deputies from previous incidents. Deputies' immediately secured Jones, who was highly intoxicated. The victim was extremely upset but did not appear to be injured. Medical assistance was offered to the victim but declined.
The victim reported that Jones entered the residence and began to push her around so she called 911. Jones snatched the phone away from the victim and hung it up. Jones then grabbed the victim around the neck and told her, "he would kill and bury her before cops arrived." Jones then forced the victim out of the house and started dragging her down the road by her neck while continuously telling her that he would kill her. The victim stated that she believed she was going to be killed and that's when the deputies arrived.
Curtis Jones was arrested and transported to the Madison County Jail without further incident. He was charged with aggravated domestic violence, aggravated assault, kidnap, tampering with a witness or victim and disorderly intoxication.

This early version of the Archies poster features the group that was being used in the stories at the time, with Archie, Reggie and Jughead in the band and Betty and Veronica as go-go dancers. The girls would be added to the group when the music and cartoon spinoffs were made.
With this story, the soon-to-be-canceled "Man From R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E." series abandons superhero comedy (which was on the decline thanks to the decreased popularity of the "Batman" TV show) and replaces it with more surreal humor in the vein of the "Archies" stories.

I love the idea of using a changing table for a potting bench. I have been looking for a free or cheap one myself. I did see a nice transformation on BH & G's website. Maybe this would give you some ideas? I would be inclined to try to fit a dry sink - like a dish pan that drops into the top... Let us know what you come up with! Julia in Woodinville, WA |

Restaurants in San Antonio
In general, San Antonio restaurants offer meals from three basic food groups: Tex-Mex, barbecue and German. This is thanks to the combination of centuries-old Mexican and Spanish cultures, as well as the German and Czech communities that settled in San Antonio in the 19th century. Sure, you'll find other cuisines among San Antonio's restaurants, but since the chili-sauce tamales, German sausages and Texas-style brisket are so fabulous, it'd be a shame not to sample as many as you can. Here are some of the best San Antonio restaurants:
Mi Tierra. This legendary Tex-Mex spot on Market Square is a classic for a reason: It serves up a relaxed atmosphere, fabulous enchiladas and delicious pan dulce, or sweet breads, made at its on-site bakery.
The Granary Cue and Brew. This restaurant in the Pearl, the refurbished brewery site, offers a 21st century take on Texas barbecue. Don't miss their tender brisket or the beef-tallow glazed version of Texas Toast.
Schilo's. This downtown German delicatessen features live German music and is famous for its homemade root beer, hot mustard and Reuben sandwiches—a winning combination.

I LOVE ferns and would love to be able to have more in my apartment (which btw is not one of those high-heat apts. If anything it's the opposite.) Anyway, they don't necessarily do very well in my apt. In particular, I'd love to be able to grow Adiatum Pendatum/Maidenhair in my apt.
It occurred to me.... would I have better luck if I covered them with glass domes? Where could one buy such things? I googled but couldn't find. Or are there other ways to trap moisture around the plant? I know some folks grow ferns in a terrarium/fish tank, but I don't have enough table/counter space for a whole fish tank nor do I like the hard-edged look of a fishtank. Tx all! |

You need to search for a bell jar or glass cloche. You can also find glass domes in speciality stores, for the purpose displaying an antique clock or whatever. You might want to consider a large glass 'cookie jar', too. I have one that is perfect for a terrarium. I saw rows of them not too long ago at either K or Wal mart. Large, solid glass, no tacky decorations. |

Another excellent product from Overstock. I bought this rug to brighten a small hallway and I am very pleased with the purchase. The bold colors and pattern are exactly what I was looking. The rug is not heavy but what is lacks in weight it makes up for in vibrancy.
The colors are vibrant and beautiful- it is obvious whoever made it took their time to do it right. We did put non skid pads underneath it. Perfect with our southwestern d�cor. It looks like a blanket I would put on my horses! (for horse people, that would mean a lot)
This is a very nice, hand-made item, with vivid colors.
The colors and design in this rug are just like the photo. Ethnic feel to the rug, it can also look rustic. no backing. A good way to inrtoduce pattern.

Designing your relationships: Discover your needs and values
What about needs?
Here are a few things to think about that might help you to understand the concept of personal needs and values from another viewpoint. You might find it helpful to take a sheet of paper and pencil out and jot down your responses to a few questions.
Do you have a need for:
- Intimacy?
- Achievement?
- Results?
- Companionship?
Consider your own needs for a moment. Do you know what your needs are? Remember, this is something you are doing for yourself, so be honest! Make a list right now of at least 10 needs. Don't judge them or yourself. Just write a list, very spontaneously, without over thinking or over analyzing anything.
When a need gets met you will likely feel soothed, glad, relieved, excited, accepted, loved, understood, valued or energized.
When a need is not met you will very likely feel upset, angry, disappointed, frustrated, alienated or rejected.
Consider these four questions directly related to your needs:
- Can you think of a need (or two) that is being met right now or that has been met in the past?
- How do you feel when a need of yours gets met? Can you recall how you felt when one of your needs was not met?
- Did you notice that your needs are requirements of something or someone to change, or be different, better or more?
- Did you notice any concerns or beliefs that there isn't anyone in your life who is able or willing to meet your needs? Think about what you noticed and how it made you feel.
If you have trouble identifying your needs, it is an indication you may not even be aware of your needs.
You may not believe that it is okay for you to have any needs. You may be ashamed of having needs and sometimes even not allow yourself to have needs. Or you may have denied that you have needs for so long that a part of you isn't letting you know.
Whatever your "good" reason, don't worry, I can assure you that identifying your needs, becoming aware of how your needs can be met and having them met, is a very do-able process!
Would you be surprised to hear that when you have a legitimate need that you cannot meet yourself it is perfectly acceptable and in fact necessary, to ask others to support you in meeting that need? That's right! We cannot meet all of our own needs. Men and women are not islands unto themselves; we are not totally or completely self-sufficient and self-reliant; and we are not supposed to be.
The word we use to describe the healthy relationship structure that includes asking others to make a change so one of our needs can be met is interdependence. A relationship build on the concept of interdependence is one in which both partners are aware of their own needs; honor their own needs; honor their partner's needs and hold a value for meeting their own needs when appropriate and asking their partner to change something so their need can be met too.
You may have needs that you haven't acknowledged; like needing more order in your home or needing someone to let you know when he or she is going to be late. Can you meet that need yourself? No. You cannot.

Opal, I am so touched you took the time to write all those caring, smart things. I will be pondering your insights and advice!
I know a lot of this is made worse b/c of our flooded basement family room and laundry room. A POD is in our driveway and we have to spend all weekend taking every stick of furniture and every decorative element we just installed, out again, to get ready for asbestos removal and new flooring! It's like 5 degrees out and our yard is buried in snow and we have to carry things up 5 old cement stairs from the basement, up 4 stairs to the deck, down 4 stairs and then to the storage pod. The flood happened Dec 23 and this trial has been hanging over us for a month. Ginger has offered to come over and help move stuff all day tomorrow. We were going to have a sexy date tonight, but I am coming down with the bad cold that just laid miss p up for a week! So now I get to move our shit with a fever and a cough! Bad luck Chez Mags these days...

I'm on day 6 of this "cold," flu, really. Still taking cold meds! Weak, stuffy, stomach upset. At least the cough isn't as wracking as it was there.
Asbestos removal in basement family room and laundry room? Still no idea on a date. Ginger saw how sick I am and came over 3 days in a row to help miss p move furniture to the pod, and glassware collection to the basement storage room, which is cement floored and can be sealed off during asbestos removal. Here is a love language he speaks, though he denies it's love, "helping is its own reward," he says. Well, I will take it as I can get it. His date with Tamara is today. I guess her herpes isn't active at the moment. He is going there at 4, all the way into Boston, which drive he hates. I am almost too sick to care. But I still do not feel great about it. I feel betrayed and abandoned. Maybe I will get used to the concept/situation once he is done with the date and comes back to me to reconnect. Maybe it will take a few more dates with her. Maybe it will take meeting her. I don't fucking know. Bleh. The winter of my discontent.

Opal, I agree and so does miss pixi, that Ginger needs to have my expectations and needs spelt out. Also, he is a doer. Men are "fixers." Hey, I like having a big guy with broad shoulders and long arms and legs to hang a chandelier or move a couch. Awesome. Great.
I know I can't change him. I can change how I do things. If I want more kink, I see I need to make that happen. He enjoys it when it happens, he just won't initiate it. OK, I can deal. Even if I want to be in a sub position during the kink, I have to PUT a flogger in his hand. You know? So, I am not really a sub, but I still get my jollies. So, these are 2 good things that happened recently to make me feel safer and more valued and "special." But. So, a little while ago, 2PM, I said hi to him on chat. I knew he'd been to the grocery store because we'd chatted earlier. He didn't say hi when he got back so I did. Did I already mention that this past Monday (today being Friday), Buddhist had 2 dates in one day with two new okc guys? A day or so after Monday, being in the throes of hellish flu, I asked Ginger how that went. He said, he knows she went on the dates and that is all he knows. So, today, his date with her imminent, I asked him if she had sex with these guys. And if she'd had The Talk, and used condoms if there was sex. He replies, as far as he knows, he was pretty sure she had sex with both and probably had the safer sex talked and that she insists on condoms. BUT, I had a typo and wrote safe sex instead of safER sex. So, he felt a need to correct me and tell me there is no such thing as safe sex, yada yada. I said, it was a typo, I meant safer. The only "safe" sex is masturbation and cyber/phone. Then he derails it more by saying he recently injured himself masturbating. (har de har har). Getting back on track, I attempted to ascertain if she'd had the SAFER sex talk with them! He tells me she was just tested and came back clean for everything except the HSV1. Well, she just had sex with 2 new guys so, so much for those test results! She could've gotten chalmydia from oral or a case of HSV2, who knows? But he was all, I thought you weren't going to think about all this. I had told him I was too sick with the flu to have energy to think about Buddhist's sexual choices, but that didnt mean I now want a DADT thing going on! Sheesh! I am still interested to know the status of the vagina and throat in which my fluid bonded partner is about to stick his dick! tl;dr: My partner's new partner is maybe at this moment having sex with someone who had sex on two first dates in one day with 2 different guys. And she was ready to have sex with Ginger on their second date without having a safer sex talk. So. Back to our phone convo. He said, yesterday or tomorrow would've been a better day to "freak out" on him than right now. (I didnt think I was freaking out, I was just trying to determine Buddhist's sexually transmitted disease status, but whatever.) He then said he needed to pee. I said go ahead. Then before I saw he came back online he said, I think I should go now. xoxoxoxoooo. And signed off. Not good. What can I do? Go back to condoms, for one thing. If Buddhist is having sex with 3 new partners in one week and Ginger is bringing up the rear, bye bye fluid bonding.

The other thing that I feel bad about is this. A couple weeks ago, when he was going to have a date with Buddhist, he told me he was "unattached" to the outcome, implying I should be as well. Then at some point after that, he asked me if I'd ever "meditated on mudira," which I guess is Buddhist-speak for compassion. Instead of talking about "compersion," and how I can get there, he is asking me to do something Buddhist, like his new GF??
Oh, wow. That is very reassuring. Not. Reminds me of when my ex h got his new gf and all of a sudden topics and ideas I'd been trying to get him to see, and he was wary of, or rejecting utright, were now great super cool b/c his new gf was into them. Ack. Bad move, guys.

Did you call him on this and let him know how it makes you feel?
Could the memories of your ex and how you were treated be a trigger for you? Is something Ginger is doing (or not doing) shunting your mind to those hurt places left by your ex? I'm not saying that you should not be upset or hurt with the situation with Ginger. But maybe the intensity and pain are not entirely related to the present with Ginger. That last two sentences 'Ack. Bad move, guys' does not read as fully being in the present. If it were more present in the here and now, it would be something like 'Ack. Bad move, guy.' Or 'Bad move, Ginger.' (Or I could be overly analyzing text.) I know for myself that I feel much more anger and rage when something is pushing at my triggers than when I am experiencing unpleasantness that does not trip anything in my pysche. I often recognize I've hit a trigger by the disportionate reaction itself. <<Hugs>> |
So, update. Ginger's date was last night. miss pixi and I had just got done marathoning Breaking Bad (late to the party) and come upstairs around 11 and Ginger had just signed on to chat. He msged me a *kissie face* and I said, I see you're home safe. Good. I purposely didn't ask how his date went because I have now resolved not to discuss sensitive topics in chat. So, he asked how I was feeling, I told him, better, he was glad, I said we'd just got done with BB yada yada, he told me his stomach was gassy, he thought because of the tea she gave him. Then he started trying to talk about the Celtics game he missed, and the State of the Union, but I was in no mood for chit chat, and told him so. I said, Please come over tomorrow, we need to talk and work things out. We set on a time and said good night. Today he came over and I didn't kiss him when he tried... well, he'd just spent the last night kissing a woman with herpes (even though she did not have an active lesion... I was still not feeling like kissing). Then we talked for a good 2-3 hours. I asked him about his date, he told me the details. Sexy time happened but they never did get around to intercourse. So, I told him how I was thinking about going back to condoms with him because of Buddhist. We determined she has 5 partners she is actively sexual with, including him. And here was the shocker! Those 2 guys she had date with on Monday are NOT brand new first dates from okc, but both men she's been seeing every few weeks for months now! He acted like he knew this already, but he sure didn't tell me yesterday when I was specifically asking him just before his date if she'd had safER sex talks with them! Oy. He said she'd forgotten he was glucose intolerant and had bought bread for them to share. He seemed concerned about her being absent minded about this and a couple other things. We both agreed she could be poly saturated. I know when I date more than 3 people at once, I tend to forget who I told what story to, who knows what about me, get mixed up. Then I told him I think he is overly poly saturated because he also has 5 people he is more or less sexually/emotionally intimate with. And he may not FEEL poly saturated, but I do feel less than well tended to, and that is evidence he is. I told him about my expectations about seeing MORE of him when I moved her, and instead I am seeing him less hours per week. I pretty much put it all out there. All my complaints about his dating practices, and how they are adding to the plethora of stresses I am already under. I won't bore y'all with details, but it was a good productive talk. A couple times he started to scoff, or interrupt with minutiae or what not and I reminded him about how I would like to use responsive listening in these kinds of talks: I vent, he listens til I am done. He then tells me what he heard me say, and only after I find he has an accurate understanding, is it his turn to talk, when I will then let him have his say and tell him what I heard. We also discussed how he never sleeps here anymore and how I miss it and he said he'd arrange to do that more often now that his gut is healed. I told him that also helps me feel more secure and taken care of. I also told him about opal's thread here about communication between neurotypicals and Aspie partners, and that I had been reading websites about it as well. He finally said he appreciated all the work and care I am putting into all this, how some people would just avoid this kind of work. So, I feel good about this and I hope it helps me finally get some compersion going. I also read some writings Buddhist posted on Fetlife and thought she sounded intelligent and on a similar life quest as I am, sexually adventurous but wanting "sacred sex," emotional connection. She called herself a slut at one point, but in a fun way. I am not sure she has her ETHICAL slut ducks all in a row yet, but I think she's on that path. So maybe she is worthy of my bf. Meanwhile miss p is seeming to have a relapse of her flu. She worked too hard on moving shit in the basement, and taking care of me, too soon and now she's sick again and has been sleeping almost all day. I still have a slight fever, but managed to walk the dog and do a lot of dishes and take out trash!

I haven't been commenting (trying not to blab all over your blog thread), but I'm glad you had that talk - it seems like it really worked out well. Here's hoping you all get past the illnesses that have been going around like wildfire, and that the stressors start dropping off... And maybe the warming trend over the next few days will help, who knows.
Be well! And good luck with the asbestos removal! Do you have a date yet?

I continue to heal. The day after The Talk with Ginger, yesterday, he came over because I felt like my fever is gone and we had great sex. I also had great sex with miss p last night, including kinky stuff. Yay. So great to be feeling something approaching normal again.
Ginger also stayed to walk the dog with me, and then I sent him home even though he offered to stay longer. I was hungry and needed a nap. I am sleeping better now that we've cleared the air. It was kinda funny in our talk, how he resisted the idea that he has 5 sexual/emotional relationships, and so does Buddhist. I think once I finally pinned him down about the actual number of her lovers, and his, and did the math, it gave him pause. He likes being fluid bonded with me, of course... We are making weekend plans. I finally heard from my landlord. Asbestos removal date is finally set--Monday! So, I had been discussing a sleepover with Ginger and we've made this plan: he comes over Saturday and we move out the rest of the stuff downstairs except for the couch and TV. Then we all 3 watch a sexy movie (I am thinking the D/s classic, Secretary). Next day, move out TV and couch. Our long national nightmare is coming to an end! I hope! We still then need to have new carpet put in, plus some hopefully attractive vinyl in the half bath down there. Be great to have that done the very next day.

The idea of someone being worthy of my partner is something I struggle with.

Basic Assets vs. Flex Assets
In Oracle WebCenter Sites [Content Server], a piece of content [a.k.a. asset] can be one of 2 asset types: Basic or Flex. When building sites, you often have a "battle", with yourself or others, on what type to use and when the right to use each is. So let's take a look at the differences in these two...
Basic Asset Types
It all started with Basic assets. A flat structure built upon an Asset Descriptor File. The xml formatted file contains all custom attributes visible in the asset's content entry form. For instance, consider the following Regions ADF:
<ASSET name="Regions" description="Regions" markertext="*" processor="5.0" defdir="c:\Shared\Storage\Regions" renderusingtemplate="no" unnamedassociation="YES">
<PROPERTY name="Country" description="Country">
<STORAGE type="VARCHAR" LENGTH="50"/>
<INPUTFORM required="YES" type="TEXT" width="25" maxlength="50" instruction=" Country " />
<SEARCHFORM required="YES" type="TEXT" width="25" maxlength="50" instruction="Country" />
<SEARCHRESULT include="TRUE"/>
<PROPERTY name="City" description="City">
<STORAGE type="VARCHAR" LENGTH="50"/>
<INPUTFORM required="YES" type="TEXT" width="30" maxlength="50" instruction="City" />
<SEARCHFORM required="YES" type="TEXT" width="30" maxlength="50" instruction="City" />
<SEARCHRESULT include="TRUE"/>
<PROPERTY name="RegionCode" description="Region Code">
<STORAGE type="VARCHAR" LENGTH="50"/>
<INPUTFORM required="YES" type="TEXT" width="35" maxlength="50" instruction="Region Code" />
<SEARCHFORM required="YES" type="TEXT" width="35" maxlength="50" instruction="Region Code " />
<SEARCHRESULT include="TRUE"/>
This will result in a content entry form with a combination of Content Server's metadata attribute fields - name, description, Start Date, End Date, Category, Filename, Path, and Locale – followed by an ordered list of every 'PROPERTY' node specified in the Regions ADF – Country, City, and RegionCode.
Important: Basic asset types cannot be modified once created. The schema is fixed.
Instances of the Regions asset type will be created and stored in the database in a single table. Each column is an attribute field (metadata and custom). Each row is a Regions asset.
Flex Asset Types
Flat structures are counter-productive when it comes to e-commerce sites. Requirements often include parent/child relationships, attributes modifications, etc… As basic asset types have fixed schemas, flex asset types provide the flexibility to create attributes as individual assets, then bundle the attributes in definitions. Each Flex asset type essentially belongs to a family. Here are the members (or parts) of the family:
- Content Attribute
- Content Definition
- Content
- Parent Definition
- Parent
- Filter
The creation of each asset type subsequently builds multiple database tables:
- <Name of Asset Type>
- <Name of Asset Type>_Mungo
- <Name of Asset Type>_Dim
- <Name of Asset Type>_DimP
- <Name of Asset Type>_Args
- <Name of Asset Type>_Publish
- <Name of Asset Type>_AMap
- <Name of Asset Type>_RMap
- <Name of Asset Type>_Extension
- <Name of Asset Type>_Group
- <Name of Asset Type>_TFilter
- <Name of Asset Type>_TGroup
- <Name of Asset Type>_TAttr
In future blogs, I will go through each table and analyze its contents and usability. But just mentioning here so that everyone is aware of what happens when we create Flex asset types. Let's take a look at the Content family:
NOTE: Creating the F1Products family of flex asset types subsequently adds the set of tables, that were mentioned earlier, in the database for each asset type.
In order to create an instance of an asset type, content contributors need access to content entry forms. WebCenter Sites puts together a content entry form per asset type. Indeed upon creating the F1Products family, System CSElements and SQL codes were added to the ElementCatalog under OpenMarket/Xcelerate/AssetType/<Asset Type Name>:
The Search strategy is sustained by SQL statements stored under SystemSQL/OpenMarket/Xcelerate/AssetType/<Asset Type Name>:
Basic Asset Types vs. Flex Asset Types
Already you might be doing the math. Each flex member of a family generates multiple tables. Whereas one basic asset type yields only one. And you are right. A basic asset will be retrieved much faster than a flex asset as each new instance/asset is a single row in the <Asset Type> database table. What would you gain with Flex assets might you ask?:
- The ability to create/delete/modify as many attributes as needed without deleting the asset type from WebCenter Sites.
- The flexibility in modifying the structure of your asset definitions on the fly.
- The capability of creating a folder-like structure parent/child relationship between your content and parent assets
- The ability to create multi-valued attributes and use attribute editors and filters for data manipulation.
- And more…
Basic assets should only be created for information that is very unlikely to change. The reason being that each PROPERTY in the xml file is an attribute that cannot be modified as the xml schema is fixed. If you want to rename an attribute or remove it from the asset type, you must delete the Asset type itself, which consequently deletes ALL of its instances (assets) from the system.
A good example for a basic asset type might be Location, ContactInformation, etc… It's very unlikely that a contact's "Address" or "Telephone Number" is named differently for the next ten years.
Clearly, if a developer is worried and concerned about the retrieval time of a flex asset, it is always a good idea to cache the resultset. In doing so, using a flex family instead of a basic asset type would not be as costly in terms of processing time.
Differences between Flex and Basic are not just structural, they're also visible in the JSP tags used to manipulate the assets. For instance, the number one task that every newbie developer learns to implement is loading an asset. That task is accomplished in two different ways:
Load a Flex asset:
<assetset:setasset name="myAsset" type="F1Product_C" id="123456789"/>
Load a Basic asset:
<asset:load name="myBasicAsset" type="Location" objectid="987654321"/>
You've guessed it right. All tags starting with <assetset:….> are flex assets tags. The ones starting with <asset:…> are basic tags.
Creating a content as a basic asset or flex asset will depend on a number of requirement set by content contributors as well as developers. The latter must be able to deliver on the needs of Business. For developers the challenge is to understand and be able to explain the limitations of a basic asset type and the gains of aflex asset type combined with an appropriate caching strategy. A successful implementation might depend on your choices.

They called him Jimmy Henchman — the man with the Teflon reputation, tied for years to the feud that led to the murders of two legends of the hip-hop world.
But on Friday, officials in Manhattan said the man, James Rosemond, was being charged with arranging the murder of an associate of the rapper 50 Cent.
The news came less than three weeks after Mr. Rosemond was convicted of running a multimillion-dollar cocaine ring.
In an indictment announced on Friday, Mr. Rosemond, 47, was charged with conspiring with five other men to kill the associate, Lowell Fletcher, in 2009.
"This has not been a good month for Jimmy the Henchman," Raymond W. Kelly, the New York police commissioner, said in a statement. He said the murder of Mr. Fletcher had been retaliation for an assault on Mr. Rosemond's son.
Messages left for Mr. Rosemond's lawyer were not returned.
Mr. Rosemond, who ran a management company, Czar Entertainment, is perhaps best known for accusations that have trailed him since the killings of the rap music luminaries Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace, better known as the Notorious B.I.G., in the mid-1990s. Mr. Rosemond has denied involvement in the bitter feud that led to their shootings.
Preet Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan, said Mr. Rosemond and the five other defendants had "operated like a mini-gang, allegedly committing a revenge killing, and a host of drug and firearms offenses." A seventh man was also charged with firearms and narcotics offenses but not murder.
Mr. Fletcher was shot to death on the evening of Sept. 27, 2009, near Jerome and Mount Eden Avenues in the Mount Eden neighborhood of the Bronx.
Mr. Rosemond and another man hired at least two of the defendants to kill Mr. Fletcher in exchange for drugs, according to the indictment in United States District Court in Manhattan.
Mr. Rosemond is in federal custody for drug trafficking. On June 5, he was convicted in Federal District Court in Brooklyn of running an operation that sold millions of dollars' worth of cocaine, often transporting it across the country in cases designed for musical equipment.
Nineteen people have been convicted on drug-trafficking and money-laundering charges as a result of the investigation into Mr. Rosemond's activities.

Alicia, do you ever watch Glee? There's a new character named Marley and she looked so familiar to me but I couldn't figure out why. Finally I placed it and realized she reminded me of you from your TRs If you haven't seen her, google "Glee Marley" and look at the images. Sometimes I think she looks so much like you.

This is so helpful! I will actually be participating in the DCP starting next April. Since it is an arrival date in the middle of the Spring program, my friend/roommate and I are hoping that we can room together! There are so many stories of people just being placed in apartments where there is room and not being able to choose. Looking forward to hearing about Traditions

Hey! I lurked a bit on your TR and I always meant to comment but never did and then I saw this and I remember Jess telling me about you. I am enjoying this report so much! I always said if I went to college I would have done the CP in a heartbeat but I never read up on all the details, so this is VERY interesting to me! I can't wait to hear all about the rest of your experience. I'm going to request you on Twitter, my name on there is @babybritney.
p.s. I LOVE YOUR RAPUNZEL BEDDING SO MUCH. I have been looking for Rapunzel bedding since I saw and became obsessed with Tangled, but I have a Queen bed and it seems to only exist for smaller beds. WAH. Do these people not understand that adults need Princess comforters too? Sigh.

Hello everyone!!! I am dreadfully sorry to have been away for so long!!! I cant even believe all that has happened since I last updated everyone. Where to begin?! I have decided hat I am going about this ALL WRONG. I started off wanting to do it like a trip report but that seems to not be working well because quite frankly I am just too lazy upload photos on a regular basis (our internet is SO SLOW here). I have decided that I would rather turn it into a blog that sometimes has pictures and hope that it makes it easier on me. I just want to share so much with all of you but I am always just so crunched for time!!! They have me working 40+ hours a week and by the time I get home at night I plop into bed and I am out like a light. SOOOOOO, since I have been gone here are a few things that have happened. My parents visited, I have had TONS of park time on top of TONS of work time, the Sam Brittany and ANDYYYYYYYYY have visited and we had the most fabulous time EVER at the Halloween party. I have audition for entertainment!!! We have planned another visit for Andy and Sam And SO MUCH more. I am trying to get my post about traditions over and done with to give you a little idea about that and that will probably be the last structured post I have for you all. From there its a free for all, I will try to come home every night and type up a brief little bit about my day/week. I thank everyone once again for reading along and I cant wait to get you all up to date with life in Florida!!! Hope all is well with everyone and that you are all planning fabulous trips to the happiest place on earth, if you do have a trip in the works today puts you one day closer than you were yesterday so CONGRADULATIONS!!!

I lied!!! Sorry, I keep promising you a traditions update. I didn't realize how much I did in the fews days I had before actually starting so here we go..
After the first night on my own. I had one full day left to spend with my parents before they headed off and I started this new journey on my own. The first order of business was to attend a housing meeting!!! YAY, while I did that my parents enjoyed some free breakfast at their hotel, lucky them!!! All the roommates and I walked over to the commons which is where they basically have every housing event. Let me tell you Disney does not skimp out. What ever Disney does Disney does BIG even housing events. There were strobe lights, loud music, and a fog machine and it was only 10am!!! Here is where they hit you with those heart-melting quotes. Disney sure does know how to put together a power point/slide shows. EVERY ONE I WATCH I CRY. So after I sopped up my tears we talked about basic things: curfews, how you cant change apartments unless you have been there for 4 weeks and its not free, alcohol policies and the worst rule ever ? NO LIGHTSABERS!!! Anything that could be considered a weapon is not allowed any where in the apartments. From there they did a few basic role-plays to help fully get across the rules and they sent us on our way. When I got back my parents were outside waiting for me. I jumped in the car and we were off to lunch!!! My first real Disney food since I arrived. We were headed to DTD for a quick bite before they had to load up and move out, they had a VERY long drive a head of them. We quickly headed through the beautiful archways MICKEY!!! YOURE MY BOSS So obviously there was only one filling meal that we would head for. EARL OF SANDWICH!!! I got my typical Veggie sandwich It was soooooooo good as always. Very filling and, just mmmmmmmmmmm. From there we decided to do a little shopping for the family back home I snapped this picture to send to Andy. He is OBSESSED with having a Disney kitchen when we get our own house. When he was here recently he wanted to buy EVERYTHING. Then I saw these, Andys favorite souvenir to date. He calls it the ice cup. Im not sure if it has a real name but boy does that kid love that cup. He uses it all the time We walked over to Goofys to check out the treats. They always have the cutest candied apples Itskermit!!! I cant even imagine eating one of these. Where do you start?! After we were done walking around we went in search of a place to buy me white ankle socks. When I got my uniform Disney look calls for white ankle socks when you wear shorts and black socks when you wear pants. Silly me only came down with white no show socks. Unacceptable. I found out later that this is mandatory because back in Disneys day it was considered despicable for lack of a better term to wear shoes without socks so it has always been a thing that peoples socks needed to be visible. We went to 3 different stores because so one had the thick top ankles like I needed. Eventually we found them at a Walgreens where they also had this!!! A Mickey made out of coca cola boxes. Yep, my life has turned to Disney 24/7 and I am not in anyway complaining about it!!! The entire store was isles upon isles of Disney well EVERYTHING After we picked up the socks it was time to say goodbye. My parents dropped me at the apartment and we said goodbye. It was rough but honestly not nearly as rough as I thought it would be, that might sound harsh but I have actually really adjusted well to living on my own. I sat around and finished getting settled in until everyone else showed up. Hatties family left and Morgan came here basically alone so for the night, while everyone else was having family time, we decided to do some retail therapy. This trip took us to the dreaded outlet mall, for the first few days we spent a lot of time (and money here) In case I havent mentioned it there is a VERA BRADLEY and DISNEY outlet within a 10-minutes walk. This store is a problem!!! Actually I havent been to the outlets in a while because there is really just no time. But the first few weeks it was. Everything is just so cheap and maybe I should just walk over there today on my day off . Just kidding!!! That was my first real day on my own, well after my parents left. The following day everyone' parents would be gone and it was our last full day to be regular human beings because from there on out... WE WOULD BE CAST MEMBERS!!!

During my recovery from surgery, my daughter Morgan and her daughters have been staying with me. Andie always greets me with a sweet, lilting Good morning, no matter the time of day, and hugs and kisses are showered on me by both her and her older sister Peyton.
Sitting in the den one day, Morgan and I were chatting, and Andie was engrossed in an alphabet game on the computer. Morgan wondered aloud whether there would be morels in my woods. Andies head shot up, she looked at us wide-eyed, and asked excitedly, Elves in the woods?
I felt terrible telling her we were talking about mushrooms, and not elves. How wonderful it would be if Grandma could offer elf hunting right here in her own woods. How delightful it must be to even believe that elves exist. We grown-ups are much too pragmatic about the world around us.
Later in the day, Morgan was fixing dinner, which included vegetables. Of course, even the sight of vegetables triggers the pre-dinner whine of Do we have to eat those? But I dont like vegetables (which Morgan herself called benchtables as a child). Cant we just have carrot sticks?
Morgan was feeling a bit put-upon, what with me as the demanding patient and the girls putting up a howl about dinner before the first fork was lifted. She interrupted her seasoning of the veggies, turned to the kids and said, I am going to serve you cooked broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots 17,000 times, until you figure out that vegetables are damn good! The kids were silent, as Morgan rarely raises her voice to them.
When dinner was ready, the girls sat at the table and tried the vegetables. Peyton said, These vegetables are damn good. Damn good! said Andie. Now the trick will be to get them to eat vegetables without swearing.
Grandson Harry, who is quite precocious for a four-year-old, is an only child, and as such spends a lot of time around adults. We have to be very careful of what we say, since his little mind is like a sponge, and we run the risk of hearing our conversations repeated later.
Harry goes to pre-school, where the teachers led the perennial discussion about what kids want to be when they grow up. Most want to be police or firefighters, nurses, doctors, teachers, but when it came to Harrys turn, he announced that he wanted to be a sperm donor. Im sure that led to some discussion in the teachers lounge.
Its tempting to look at my grandchildren and wonder how much of their lives I will be around to witness. Will I see them marry? Will I find out what they do when they grow up? Will they still say a cheerful good morning to me? Will they still love me and hug me as they grow older?
Its better just to enjoy them and their antics, bask in their affections, watch them live day to day, and wonder at the joy my own motherhood has given me through all these years.
Happy Mothers Day!

Ref. 71 backers ask state to seal names of campaign donors due to threats
Violent threats by a Bellingham blogger have prompted backers of Referendum 71 to ask the state to seal the names of campaign donors.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Backers of Referendum 71 have asked the state's Public Disclosure Commission to seal or redact the names of those who donated to their campaign because of threats of violence against supporters, churches and even the government, posted to a blog by a Bellingham man.
In an Aug. 6 letter, Protect Marriage Washington requested an emergency hearing before the four-member commission.
The commission's Web site lists the names and hometowns of donors to all public campaigns and candidates, the amount of their contributions and their places of employment.
A consortium of religious conservatives, Protect Marriage Washington is attempting through Ref. 71 to repeal a recently passed state law that would give registered domestic partners the same state-offered benefits married people now receive. The group wants the disclosure commission to suspend or modify financial reporting requirements as a means of protecting its donors.
A spokeswoman for the commission earlier today said the request has been placed on the commission's agenda for the next meeting, scheduled for Aug. 27. The group's donor information, she points out, has been publicly available for some time now. On his blog, Queer Equality Revolution, a man calling himself John Bisceglia rails against taxation, for gun possession and against those who would rob him of his civil rights.
"I advocate using violence against the property of ALL of those who are working tirelessly to HURT my family; starting with churches and government property," the 43-year-old wrote.
"Government is enabling a vote on whether or not I should be allowed to see my husband while he is dying in a hospital — any NORMAL man would be driven to get a gun and kill those who tried such evil cruelty against his loved ones."
He did not respond immediately to an e-mail request for comments.
Protect Marriage Washington's request to protect the now-public names of its donors is the latest in what has become a heated campaign filled with threats, accusations and name-calling.
The Secretary of State is expected within a week to complete a hand check of the 137,689 signatures Protect Marriage submitted in its attempt to get Ref. 71 on the November ballot.
At least 120, 577 of the signatures must be valid for the referendum to qualify.
And last month, a federal judge in Tacoma granted Protect Marriage's request to temporarily block the Secretary of State from publicly releasing the names and addresses of those who signed the referendum, including to gay activists who have said they would post those names online.
Since May, Protect Marriage has raised just over $32,000 — less than half the amount raised so far by Washington Families Standing Together, a coalition of religious, labor, community and gay-rights organizations seeking to retain the domestic partnership law.
Protect Marriage's donors live all across the state — and include retirees, homemakers, a corrections officer, a surgeon and a company president, among others. Stephen Pidgeon, attorney for the group, said in the statement it has notified the FBI because of the implied threats in Bisceglia's blog against the federal and state governments.
"This is a true threat to the lives and property of those people who support the referendum process..." the statement said. "A reasonable person would take the statement about getting a gun and killing people who support R-71 as a true threat."

Indian Creek Golf Course's layout snakes through the Hood River Valley between a network of sprawling orchards and wineries with panoramic views of Mount Hood and Mount Adams creating a dramatic backdrop. Water comes into play on 11 holes, including three creeks that bisect fairways to disrupt play and tempt players to take fairway naps to the melodic babbling of their playing partners. On the par 5 fourth hole, precision is paramount, as the dogleg right is entirely fortified by water to the right and the small, narrow green make short putts strenuous with hard-to-read-breaks.
Indian Creek Golf Course won an Environmental Excellence award from Audubon International for its efforts in areas of wildlife and habitat management, chemical-use reduction, and water-quality management. The course and its surrounding land act as a sanctuary to a variety of wildlife, including several species of caddies now endangered because rampant cart use. Course at a Glance: * Par 72 * Three sets of tees * 6,150 yards from the back tees * Rating of 70.8 and slope of 128 from the back tees
As they enter the training circle at Curves, female guests come face-to-face with the smiles of other women. And just as points on a circle share a common distance from the circle's center, workout participants share the experiences of those nearby by trading stations throughout the 30-minute training session. One minute is spent on a piece of strength-training equipment built for feminine frames and designed to work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement. Exercisers then move on to a recovery station, where they run, jog, or dance to maintain heart rates and keep platforms in place during momentary losses of gravity.
Though its once purely utilitarian features have been repurposed as a modern industrial-chic wine bar, Sunshine Mill Winery is still a monument to turn-of-the-century agriculture. The gravity mill's belt-drive system, for instance, is still wholly intact, and its massive gears hang above the heads of sommeliers pouring Quenett and Copa Di Vino wines in the lounge area. And atop the structure that still houses the mill's Thomas Edison–designed electric generator, musicians regularly perform to the crowds on the alfresco dining area below.
Located at Skibowl East, The Snow Tube and Adventure Park boasts a variety of cold-weather attractions for all ages, and offers a conveyor lift to the top of the main tube hill on Mt. Hood. Open on weekends and holidays, a host of activities are available including Frosty?s Playland, Indoor Super Play Zone, and the Kid?s Tubing Carousel. Add more thrills during the day with the Extreme Tube Hill for those with more experience, or at night with the recently introduced cosmic tubing. Event space is available for up to 5,000 people.
Museums have a reputation for housing dusty, fragile artifacts that normally shouldn't be touched. But the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum is a different breed. Its passionate staff and crew of volunteers have collected and restored hundreds of historical cars, planes, and other vehicles, all of which they regularly start up and drive.
Windsurfing on placid rivers. Snapping photos of gushing waterfalls. Scaling snow-covered mountains. Backpacking through teeming forests. The landscape at Columbia Gorge Teen Camps lends itself perfectly to the to the diverse needs of the four camps that take place on its grounds each summer: windsurfing, photography, climbing and mountaineering, and high adventure. Windsurfers practice their craft for about three hours a day, while budding photographers spend almost all day in the field, hiking up to 5 miles to nab shots of Mt. Hood and stage high-fashion shoots of fish in Hood River. Smith Rock State Park serves as a part-time base camp for climbing campers, and high-adventure campers conclude their hiking, biking, and canoeing explorations with a trek up Mt. St. Helens. No matter what their chosen camp, each camper will have access to outdoor activities such as kayaking, biking, and volleyball. The idea for Columbia Gorge Teen Camps came from Dr. Bob Hanson, Professor Emeritus at San Diego State University. Noticing a lack of outdoor camps, he founded Columbia Gorge as a place where teens could be enriched, challenged, and motivated by nature. His staff upholds his original mission through activities designed to build character and independence in kids on the brink of starting college, entering the work force, or telling their parents that they're ready to see rated-R movies.

Doctors Save Ohio Boy By 'Printing' an Airway Tube
Submitted by AngieDfromAL on Wed, 05/22/2013 - 18:52In a medical first, doctors used plastic particles and a 3-D laser printer to create an airway splint to save the life of a baby boy who used to stop breathing nearly every day.
It's the latest advance from the booming field of regenerative medicine, making body parts in the lab.
In the case of Kaiba (KEYE'-buh) Gionfriddo, doctors didn't have a moment to spare. Because of a birth defect, the little Ohio boy's airway kept collapsing, causing his breathing to stop and often his heart, too. Doctors in Michigan had been researching artificial airway splints but had not implanted one in a patient yet.
