When you install Oracle Fusion Middleware, you install the binary files, such as executable files, jar files, and libraries. Then, you use configuration tools to configure the software. This chapter provides information you need to get started managing Oracle Fusion Middleware, including information about the tools you use.
This chapter includes the following topics:
Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control
Getting Started with Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console
Getting Started with the Oracle Fusion Middleware Command-Line Tools
After you install and configure Oracle Fusion Middleware, you can use the graphical user interfaces or the command-line tools to manage your environment.
Oracle offers the following primary tools for managing your Oracle Fusion Middleware installations:
Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. See Section 2.2.
Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. See Section 2.3.
The Oracle Fusion Middleware command-line tools. See Section 2.4.
In addition, you can use the Fusion Middleware Control MBean Browser, which is described in the section "Using the Fusion Middleware Control MBean Browser" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
Note that you should use these tools, rather than editing configuration files, to perform all administrative tasks unless a specific procedure requires you to edit a file. Editing a file may cause the settings to be inconsistent and generate problems.
For information about using administration tools for IBM WebSphere, see "Summary of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Management Tools on IBM WebSphere" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Third-Party Application Server Guide.
Both Fusion Middleware Control and Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console are graphical user interfaces that you can use to monitor and administer your Oracle Fusion Middleware environment. You can perform some tasks with either tool, but, for other tasks, you can only use one of the tools. Table 2-1 lists some common tasks and the recommended tool.

Fusion Middleware Control
Fusion Middleware Control is a Web-based interface from which you can monitor and administer a farm.
A farm is a collection of components managed by Fusion Middleware Control. It can contain an Oracle WebLogic Server domain, one Administration Server, one or more Managed Servers, clusters, one or more Oracle instances, and the Oracle Fusion Middleware components that are installed, configured, and running in the domain or Oracle instances.
Fusion Middleware Control organizes a wide variety of performance data and administrative functions into distinct, Web-based home pages for the farm, domain, servers, components, and applications. The Fusion Middleware Control home pages make it easy to locate the most important monitoring data and the most commonly used administrative functions—all from your Web browser.
The following topics are discussed in this section:
To display Fusion Middleware Control, you enter the Fusion Middleware Control URL, which includes the name of the host and the port number assigned during the installation. The following shows the format of the URL:
The port number is the port number of the Administration Server. By default, the port number is 7001.
For some installation types, such as SOA or Web Tier, if you saved the installation information by clicking Save on the last installation screen, the URL for Fusion Middleware Control is included in the file that is written to disk (by default to your home directory).
For other installation types, the information is displayed on the Create Domain screen of the Configuration Wizard when the configuration completes.
To display Fusion Middleware Control:
Enter the Fusion Middleware Control URL in your Web browser. For example:
The following shows the login page:
Enter the Oracle Fusion Middleware administrator user name and password and click Login.
The default user name for the administrator user is
weblogic. This is the account you can use to log in to Fusion Middleware Control for the first time. The password is the one you supplied during the installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware.
The Farm page is displayed, as shown in the following figure:
The Farm menu is displayed at the top of the page. From the Farm menu, you can:
Create and delete components and clusters
View log messages
Specify monitoring credentials
The Farm menu is always displayed, even if you have selected other targets.
You can view the topology of the domain by selecting Topology. The Topology Viewer provides you with a high-level view of the topology, including Managed Servers, deployed applications, and the routing configuration. For more information about viewing the topology, see Section 5.4.
Fusion Middleware Control displays the target navigation pane on the left and the content pane to the right. For example, when you first log in to Fusion Middleware Control, the farm home page is displayed on the right.
From the target navigation pane, you can expand the tree and select an Oracle WebLogic Server domain, an Oracle WebLogic Server Managed Server, a component, an application, or a Metadata Repository.
When you select a target, such as a Managed Server or a component, the target's home page is displayed in the content pane and that target's menu is displayed at the top of the page, in the context pane. For example, if you select a Managed Server, the WebLogic Server menu is displayed. You can also view the menu for a target by right-clicking the target in the navigation pane.
The following figure shows the target navigation pane and the home page of a Managed Server. Because a Managed Server was selected, the dynamic target menu listed in the context pane is the WebLogic Server menu.
In the preceding figure, the following items are called out:
Target Navigation Pane lists all of the targets in the farm in a navigation tree.
Content Pane shows the current page for the target. When you first select a target, that target's home page is displayed.
Farm Menu provides a list of operations that you can perform on the farm. The Farm menu is always available.
Dynamic Target Menu provides a list of operations that you can perform on the currently selected target. The menu that is displayed depends on the target you select. The menu for a specific target contains the same operations as those in the Right-Click Target Menu.
Right-Click Target Menu provides a list of operations that you can perform on the currently selected target. The menu is displayed when you right-click the target name in the target navigation pane. In the figure, even though the WebLogic Server is selected and its home page is displayed, the right-click target menu displays the operations for a metadata repository because the user has right-clicked the metadata repository.
The menu for a specific target contains the same operations as those in the Dynamic Target Menu.
Target Information Icon provides information about the target. For example, for a domain, it displays the target name, the version, and the domain home.
Context Pane provides the name of the target, the name of the current user, the host name, and the time of the last page refresh, as well as the Refresh icon.
Expand All/Collapse All lets you expand or collapse the navigation tree.
Refresh indicates when the page is being refreshed. Click it to refresh a page with new data. (Refreshing the browser window refreshes the page but does not retrieve new data.)
Return to login takes you to the login page when you click the Oracle Enterprise Manager logo.
In addition, from Fusion Middleware Control, from the home pages of targets such as the Administration Server or Managed Servers, you can access the WebLogic Server Administration Console. For information about configuring Single Sign-On between Fusion Middleware Control and the WebLogic Server Administration Console, see "Configuring Single Sign-On for Administration Consoles" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity Management.
Table 2-2 describes some common ways you can navigate within Fusion Middleware Control.

Right-click the server name in the target navigation pane. Choose Logs, and then View Log Messages to see a summary of log messages and to search log files.
At any time while using the Fusion Middleware Control Console, you can click Help at the top of the page to get more information. In most cases, the Help window displays a help topic about the current page. Click Contents in the Help window to browse the list of help topics, or click Search to search for a particular word or phrase.
Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console is a Web browser-based, graphical user interface that you use to manage a WebLogic Server domain. It is accessible from any supported Web browser with network access to the Administration Server.
Use the Administration Console to:
Configure, start, and stop Oracle WebLogic Server Managed Servers
Configure Oracle WebLogic Server clusters
Configure Oracle WebLogic Server services, such as database connectivity (JDBC) and messaging (JMS)
Configure security parameters, including managing users, groups, and roles
Configure and deploy Java EE applications
Monitor server and application performance
View server and domain log files
View application deployment descriptors
Edit selected run-time application deployment descriptor elements
To display the Administration Console:
Enter the following URL in a browser:
The port number is the port number of the Administration Server. By default, the port number is 7001.
The login page is displayed.
Log in using the user name and password supplied during installation.
Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console is displayed, as shown in the following figure:
Alternatively, you can access the Administration Console from Fusion Middleware Control, from the home pages of targets such as the Administration Server and Managed Server.
Before you make configuration changes, lock the domain configuration, so you can make changes to the configuration while preventing other accounts from making changes during your edit session.
To lock the domain configuration:
Locate the Change Center in the upper left of the Administration Console screen.
Click Lock & Edit to lock the configuration edit hierarchy for the domain.
As you make configuration changes using the Administration Console, you click Save (or in some cases Finish) on the appropriate pages. This does not cause the changes to take effect immediately. The changes take effect when you click Activate Changes in the Change Center. At that point, the configuration changes are distributed to each of the servers in the domain. If the changes are acceptable to each of the servers, then they take effect. If any server cannot accept a change, then all of the changes are rolled back from all of the servers in the domain. The changes are left in a pending state; you can then either edit the pending changes to resolve the problem or revert the pending changes.

"Using the Change Center" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Introduction to Oracle WebLogic Server
The following topics describe the primary command-line tools you can use to manage most Oracle Fusion Middleware components:
Getting Started Using Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server
The WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) is a command-line scripting environment that you can use to create, manage, and monitor Oracle WebLogic Server domains. It is based on the Java scripting interpreter, Jython. In addition to supporting standard Jython features such as local variables, conditional variables, and flow-control statements, WLST provides a set of scripting functions (commands) that are specific to Oracle WebLogic Server. You can extend the WebLogic scripting language to suit your needs by following the Jython language syntax.
You can use any of the following techniques to invoke WLST commands:
Interactively, on the command line
In script mode, supplied in a file
Embedded in Java code
For example, to invoke WLST interactively, and connect to the Oracle WebLogic Server, use the following commands:
java weblogic.WLST connect('weblogic', 'weblogic', 'localhost:7001')
To display information about WLST commands and variables, enter the help command. For example, to display a list of categories for online commands, enter the following:
wls:/base_domain/serverConfig> help('online') help('activate') Activate the changes. help('addListener') Add a JMX listener to the specified MBean. help('adminHome') Administration MBeanHome. help('cancelEdit') Cancel an edit session. help('cd') Navigate the hierarchy of beans. help('cmo') Current Management Object. . . .
To monitor the status, you use the WLST
state command, using the following format:
state(name, type)
For example, to view the status of the Managed Server soa_server1, use the following command:
wls:/SOA_domain/serverConfig> state('soa_server1', 'Server') Current state of 'soa_server1' : RUNNING
Many components, such as Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle Platform Security Services (OPSS), Oracle Fusion Middleware Audit Framework, and Oracle Metadata Service (MDS), and services such as SSL and logging, provide custom WLST commands.
To use those custom commands, you must invoke the WLST script from the appropriate Oracle home. Do not use the WLST script in the WebLogic Server home.
For the following components and services, invoke WLST from the Oracle Common home:
The script is located at:
(UNIX) ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/common/bin/wlst.sh (Windows) ORACLE_COMMON_HOME\common\bin\wlst.cmd
For other components, such as Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle SOA Suite, or Oracle WebCenter Portal, invoke WLST from the Oracle home in which the component has been installed. The script is located at:
(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME_for_component/common/bin/wlst.sh (Windows) ORACLE_HOME_for_component\common\bin\wlst.cmd
For example, to run the custom WLST commands for Oracle SOA Suite on a Linux system, use the following commands:
cd ORACLE_HOME_for_SOA/common/bin
In addition to the commands provided by WLST for Oracle WebLogic Server, WLST provides a subset of commands to manage system components. These commands are:
startproc(componentName [, componentType] [, componentSet]): Starts the specified component.
stopproc(componentName [, componentType] [, componentSet]): Stops the specified component.
status(componentName [, componentType] [, componentSet]): Obtains the status of the specified component.
proclist(): Obtains the list of components.
To use these custom commands, you must invoke the WLST script from the Oracle home in which the component has been installed. Do not use the WLST script in the WebLogic Server home. The script is located at:
(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME_for_component/common/bin/wlst.sh (Windows) ORACLE_HOME_for_component\common\bin\wlst.cmd
Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN) manages and monitors the following Oracle Fusion Middleware components, referred to as system components:
Oracle HTTP Server
Oracle Web Cache
Oracle Internet Directory
Oracle Virtual Directory
Oracle Forms Services
Oracle Reports
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer
Oracle Business Intelligence
OPMN provides the
opmnctl command. The executable file is located in the following directories:
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl: The opmnctl command from this location should be used only to create an Oracle instance or a component for an Oracle instance on the local system. Any opmnctl commands generated from this location should not be used to manage system processes or to start OPMN.
On Windows, if you start OPMN using the opmnctl start command from this location, OPMN and its processes terminate when the Windows user has logged out.
ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl: The opmnctl command from this location provides a per Oracle instance instantiation of opmnctl. Use opmnctl commands from this location to manage processes for this Oracle instance. You can also use this opmnctl to create components for the Oracle instance.
On Windows, if you start OPMN using the opmnctl start command from this location, it starts OPMN as a Windows service. As a result, the OPMN parent process, and the processes which it manages, persist after the MS Windows user has logged out.
To view the status of all system components in an Oracle instance, use the following command:
opmnctl status Processes in Instance: webtier_inst ---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+--------- ias-component | process-type | pid | status ---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+--------- webcache1 | WebCache-admin | 19556 | Alive webcache1 | WebCache | 19555 | Alive ohs1 | OHS | 7249 | Alive
To view the status of a particular component or component type, use the following command:
opmnctl status componentName [, componentType] [, componentSet]
For example, to view the status of an Oracle Virtual Directory instance named ovd1, use the following command:
opmnctl status ias-component=ovd1
You can use OPMN to start and stop system components, monitor system components, and perform many other tasks related to process management. For example, you can use the following commands to start and stop OPMN and all OPMN-managed processes, such as Oracle HTTP Server:
opmnctl startall opmnctl stopall
The following are the tasks that you must perform to manage your Oracle Fusion Middleware environment:
In an existing database, create a metadata repository. See Section 3.2.1.
Install and configure the software, which creates a domain, an Administration Server, one or more Managed Server, and, for system components, an Oracle instance. See Section 3.2.3.
Deploy Java EE applications. See Chapter 4.
Monitor your Oracle Fusion Middleware environment. See Section 5.1.
Secure your environment by setting up additional users and configuring SSL. See Chapter 6.
View and search log files and configure logging. See Chapter 7.
Back up your environment on a regular basis. See Chapter 8.
Expand your environment. See Chapter 9.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – June 2, 2005) Attorney General Terry Goddard and Bank Superintendent Richard Houseworth today filed suit against Virtual Realty Company, Virtual Realty Funding Company, and their owner Kenneth D. Perkins, alleging the companies misled homeowners into signing over their homes. The company's Tucson agent, James Busche, was also named in the lawsuit.
According to court documents filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, beginning in 2003Virtual Realty Funding Company began advertising through newspaper classified ads, the Internet and direct mail that the company could assist homeowners who were behind in their mortgage payments from losing their homes.
Company sales representatives led homeowners to believe that they could help save their homes, but in fact the transactions offered by VRF were structured so that homeowners would transfer title to VRF or sell the home to a business associate of VRF.
"This case represents the worst in our community," Goddard said. "This company's end game was to get the house. They took advantage of homeowners desperate to save their homes from foreclosure, and deceived them into turning over their homes. In order for homeowners to keep their homes, they had to pay an outrageous sum, and many lost their homes because of VRF's deceptive sales tactics."
Court documents allege that VRF targeted Spanish-speaking communities, and applied high pressure tactics to convince homeowners to sign densely worded legal documents the homeowners often did not understand. In some cases the VRF representative refused to allow the homeowner to read the documents before signing, making the homeowner dependent on the VRF representative's explanation.
The VRF representatives did not tell homeowners they were deeding their homes to the company, and if the homeowner failed to meet any requirement of the agreement, the home could be sold. The homeowners believed the company would help keep their homes and their possessions.
The Sale/Repurchase Agreement required the homeowner to rent his/her home back from VRF for a monthly rental equal to the monthly mortgage payment plus an additional amount. In the case of one homeowner, the monthly mortgage payment was $613 and the additional amount was $157, making a monthly rental payment of $770.
In addition to the rental payment, the homeowners were also required to make a deposit payment. In return for "helping" the homeowners keep their homes, VRF agreed to transfer title back to the homeowner through a warranty deed if the homeowner met specific conditions. These included the payment of all rent on time and, prior to a specified date, payment to VRF for bringing the mortgage current, unspecified escrow fees and a "funding fee," which was at times as high as $4,000.
The lawsuit alleges the following:
- Violation of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act by falsely advertising and selling foreclosure assistance products and services.
- Violation of the Debt Management Companies Act by contracting with homeowners through a Sale/Repurchase Agreement where VRF acted as a debt management company. VRF is not licensed as a debt management company.
- Violation of the Mortgage Brokers and Mortgage Bankers Act. VRF acted as an unlicensed mortgage broker and/or mortgage banker.
The Attorney General's Office is asking the Maricopa County Superior Court to:
- Prohibit VRF and its owners from violating the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act, the Arizona Debt Management Companies Act and the Arizona Mortgage Brokers and Mortgage Bankers Act.
- Require the defendants to return to all the victims any money or property acquired through deceptive practices.
- Impose a penalty of up to $10,000 for each violation of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act.
- Require the defendants to reimburse the Attorney General and the Arizona Superintendent of Banks for costs of the investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees.

In our previous lesson, God delivered the Israelites through the hands of a faithful man, Jonathan. This should have been a day of great celebration. However, due the actions of her king, Israel wouldn't have the victory that she could have. We hope this message clearly contrasts a life of faith and a life of rebellion for you.

The day is FINALLY here! It's the "Walk-In" closet room reveal 🙂
I started this "Dream Closet" project back in August and almost two months later, it's finally done…woohoo!!!
Actually it was done a little while ago, I just needed to get my butt in gear to finish a few things and photograph it. Throughout this project I also did the DIY projects listed below to add functionality or some extra prettiness to the room;
The Pretty Handmade Chandelier
The Fun Jewelry Display Hanger
The DIY Hydrangea Flowers Made from Paint Chips
I painted the room a light gray, yet it kind of looks a little purple. I don't mind though as it lends a little more girly-ness to the area. Yes I painted the wood walls instead of taking them down because we just recently took down the same kind of wood in another room and the process was a HUGE pain in the rear! Painting over this wood worked out well though as I think the texture gives it a nice touch.
I also painted two of the three existing shelves because I knew I wanted to reuse them. I used a cream color and re-finished the dresser that was in the room the same color as well. Previously I had re-finished an old Ikea Poang chair in a slate blue color, so I moved that chair into the room and it fit just perfect.
I'm not sure how many of you know the house we live in is the house The Hubby grew up in. Yes, we bought it from his parents several years ago and have been fixing it up ever since. This room used to be The Hubby's when he was a boy and since we weren't using it for anything other than storage and as a room to run on the treadmill, we hadn't made any improvements until now. Don't laugh at the sheet being used for a window treatment…sometimes you have to make due with whatever you have 😉
Didn't the room look awful? Ick…it makes me sick just looking at the pictures from before!
Anyhow, since I still want a place to be able to run on the treadmill when the weather is poor, I decided to keep it in the closet room, cover it with a sheet and use it to prop up the mirror. I'm also keeping the old TV and accessories in the room for the same purpose.
Look at my little work buddy staring into the mirror. Isn't she the cutest? And such the perfect poser 😉
And here I am…Hi! It's been really HOT here in So. Cal…hence the shorts and flip-flops.
My accessories center is one of my favorite parts of the closet room. I don't like not being able to see everything all at once…so now that it's all out to see, I'm happy as can be. I also have a lot of scarves, hats and sunglasses which I haven't found permanent homes for yet. So stay tuned for some adjustments to this area in the future.
Temporary storage for some of my scarves until I find a better way for all of them. And to the right above, a quick DIY I made with burlap and ribbon to hold all my belts.
The dresser to the right with the TV on it was my dad's dresser when he was a little boy. My dad passed away when I was really young so the dresser is very sentimental to me. I've already repainted it once about 10 years ago, but now I think I'm going to paint it silver for this room. Don't you think that'll look nice?
Here are some other things I've done for the room:
Hung faux wood blinds
Made curtains out of canvas drop cloths & hung them on a silver decorative curtain rod purchased from Lowe's
Purchased all velvet, no-slip hangers at Costco
Organized each section of the 'closet room' for specific types of clothes, i.e. dresses, going out, everyday, outdoors, business and sports
As mentioned, I still have a few things I'll be doing here and there…but for the most part, I'm really happy with how it turned out.
What do you think?
If you have an extra room in your house and you can use it for a closet like this, I highly recommend it. This is the only place in the whole house that's completely mine and that's such a nice feeling!
As always, thanks for stopping by!

MSNBC Analyst to Deliver MLK Address
Melissa Harris-Perry, noted scholar and host of her own MSNBC current affairs program, will deliver the University of Rochester's 2013 Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Address on Thursday, Jan. 17. The free talk begins at 6 p.m. in Strong Auditorium on the River Campus.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
As a political analyst and professor of political science at Tulane University, Harris-Perry's address will focus on racial issues, religious questions, and gender concerns related to American politics.
"Dr. Harris-Perry brings a range of topics to her television audiences, including the segment Foot Soldiers, where she pays special tribute to activists who make selfless contributions to their communities," said Norman Burnett, dean and director of the Office of Minority Student Affairs and chair of the College Diversity Roundtable. "These individuals perform heroically, under the radar, without recognition or acclaim. It is in this traditional spirit of acknowledging the social justice acts of others that makes it fitting for Dr. Harris-Perry to join us in celebrating Dr. King's legacy."
In addition to her show, which airs from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturdays and Sundays on MSNBC, Harris-Perry writes the monthly column, Sister Citizen, for The Nation and provides commentary on Politics Nation with Reverend Al Sharpton, The Rachel Maddow Show, and The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. She is a regular contributor on Keeping it Real Radio with Sharpton, and other print and radio venues in the U.S. and abroad.
At Tulane, Harris-Perry is the founding director of the Anna Julia Cooper Project on Gender, Race, and Politics in the South. The project investigates how gender and race intersect to shape women's influence on government in the South, and includes student research opportunities, a postdoctoral program, seminars for faculty and students, and the annual Anna Julia Cooper Lecture. She also teaches the course, Black Women's Political Activism, which uses the history of African American women's political activism to illuminate questions of participation in American politics.
In her new book, Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America(Yale 2011), Harris-Perry argues that persistent harmful stereotypes can limit black women's ability to participate in the political process. Her first book, Barbershops, Bibles, and BET: Everyday Talk and Black Political Thought, won the 2005 W. E. B. Du Bois Book Award from the National Conference of Black Political Scientists and 2005 Best Book Award from the Race and Ethnic Politics Section of the American Political Science Association.
In 2009, Harris-Perry became the youngest scholar to deliver the W.E.B. Du Bois Lectures at Harvard University, and in the same year, became the youngest women to deliver the prestigious Ware Lecture. Harris-Perry received a bachelor's degree in English from Wake Forest University, a doctoral degree in political science from Duke University, and studied theology at Union Theological Seminary in New York. She also received an honorary doctorate from Meadville Lombard Theological School. She has served on the faculties of the University of Chicago and Princeton University.
The annual address, which kicks-off the University's Black History Month celebration by recognizing the legacy and influence of King's Life, is co-sponsored by the College Diversity Roundtable and the Office of the President.
Note to Editors: Press availability with Harris-Perry will be scheduled from 3 to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 17, in the Frederick Douglass Leadership House, located on Wilson Boulevard on the Fraternity Quadrangle. Advanced interviews also can be scheduled by e-mailing Melissa Greco Lopes at firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 585.276.3693.

Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. Very even tempered. Mean all the time.
Scott, the date of the photo is correct and taken from the issue of Competition Press & Autoweek that it was found in. The first appearance of the cowl induction hood was on the 1 of 1 '68 Z/28 convertible owned by Chevrolet's Pete Estes. That hood was probably put on the car by the GM Tech Center and not as a production line component but it was present on the car when it paced the '68 Can-Am race at Road America. The second application of the cowl hood that I have seen is on the car shown in the Berger ad. This was a car used by Chevrolet for its new car introductions for '69 and it appeared in a large number of road tests in the fall of '68 as well as some print ads. You are correct that the first use of the cowl induction hood as a production line component was at the end of December '68 when they made their debut on the ZL-1 Camaros.

As a result, I follow "vehicular combat" miniatures game blogs a bit, and what should I spy?
Gaslands, a "post-apocalyptic vehicular combat" game that Osprey will be publishing in November.
Looks like it's a Car Wars style game (but not as complex!) played with converted hotwheels/matchbox cars on tabletop. Here's some photos from a game the author ran at Salute 2017:Shoot, ram, skid and loot your way through the ruins of civilisation with Gaslands, a tabletop wargame of car-on-car destruction in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Players control small fleets of armed vehicles in battles for resources, dominance and survival. With rules for multiple vehicle types (from motorbikes to big rigs), varied special weapons and accessories (including oil slicks, caltrops and nitro boosters), and a host of options for scenarios, environmental conditions, crew and campaigns, players can tailor games to match their own visions for an anarchic future.
Skimming through the design blog, it looks like the game will have a vehicle design system, factions & a campaign system. And skimming through the Gaslands twitter feed, it looks like the game will use X-Wing style movement templates:
I've been buying hotwheels & matchbox cars for a while with the thought of converting them for "vehicular combat" gaming. This might be the kick in the arse I need to get started on that...

It's a little difficult to describe the impact of seeing/knowing 'personal' experiences that were intimately known from a 'personal' perspective in which you 'thought' you knew the 'matter' and importance of it and then be thrown into the ability to view it all from the widest (into infinity) impersonal perspective of it.RT said: NDE experiences appear to suggest using this human life to evolve appropriately to the next 'level' of existence.
On the other hand, non-duality (Vedanta) suggests bypassing all of the levels of evolution/existence/experience by getting to the core 'I AM'.
I sort of vacillate between both points of view. Anyway, I'm enjoying the discussion and would love your point of view on these thoughts.
In the oneness/light it you see / know the infiniteness of it and how much one was not aware of by the density of their attachment to their particular perspective. My 'fear' of my friend's murder/er as an example.
That this is layered by the all-embracing-all-knowing-okayness and eternalness of everything as seen/known in the light, it becomes very hard to only 'appreciate' one perspective of anything, even on return to a less awarely-dimensional 'existence'.
Non-dual for me is a double negative expression of the oneness.
It's not that there is no duality it's that the duality IS the oneness (two sides of a coin are one coin). There is no need to eliminate fear - (often just false emotions appearing real) within the oneness love moves energy towards embracing something outside of one (physical) self perspective, so does fear, so does empathy, compassion, respect, the 'reverse' of a thing is the same energy field as the 'thing'.
They are two sides of a coin that generates opportunities for experiences of growth beyond what many believe is their separate self that will have an impact on that separate self. Opportunities to be, with no 'choice' being wrong, just bringing a different experience.
On the love/fear 'coin', it's more 'noticing' that it is fear energy in motion, or love energy in motion. There is no thing 'wrong' with fear. There is no thing wrong with thoughts, there is no thing wrong with ego - they are all just different viewings of a thing.
For me, as a sailor it's like saying Easterly winds are better to get me from A to B, so lets eliminate any West wind... what the???
Since my nde I more 'notice' and accept that West winds blow, just as East and North and South winds do, and to 'notice' what is blowing and do whatever is best in the situation in the conditions. For me sometimes the non-dual 'no thingness' stuff of silence and stillness etc get overzealous like saying well if we get rid of all winds completely then we will be fine.
Good luck with that!
Energy is particles or whatever in motion eternally. That is what the 'all' is. Is-ness is accepting that. You will not know the fullness of love unless you also embrace the fear of/in it.
Duality and non-duality are equally 'one' as well, so maybe nde'ers seem to have a bob each way lol!!!

Skeptics of the virgin birth have been around since the church age began. Tragically though, it's no longer just the unbelieving world that fails to accept the biblical account of Christ's origin. The scientific age and the emergence of modern and postmodern theologies during the past two centuries have eroded many professed believers' confidence in the reality of the virgin birth. The following is a commentary I received today:
"The Messiah promised in the Hebrew Scriptures must necessarily be "of the Seed of David" and that the introduction of the virgin birth by the Gospel writers alone was reason enough for any knowledgeable Jew to reject Jesus as the Messiah described in the Hebrew Scriptures and oral traditions. The genealogies of Joseph found in Matthew and Luke, which incidentally contradicted each other, were totally irrelevant since Joseph was not, according to the Christian Scriptures own words, Jesus' father any way."
While this is somewhat true, it is not sufficient for a conclusion. In the eyes of the law of the time, Joseph was the father. More than just a legal guardian, by later taking Mary as his wife, he also claimed Jesus as his son. This gave him a standing in relation to the child that, in the eyes of the Jews at least, must be accounted for. The fact that he was himself of the line of David would put many doubts about the validity of Jesus' claims to rest. The excuse that there was no blood relation would have been overshadowed by the fact that he was the lawful father and not himself of the prophesied linage. Knowing that Joseph was himself of the line of David makes Jesus the rightful legal heir to the throne of David even though he wasn't biologically related to his earthly father.
However the other idea that many scholars agree on is that the record found in Luke is actually a trace of Mary's family tree, the one in Matthew is Joseph's. It wasn't common to trace the maternal side because a woman's genealogy was not often considered, but then again the virgin birth was hardly a normal occurrence. This would mean we have both the paternal and maternal genealogies and all the bases are covered.
Can a person reject the Virgin Birth and still be a Christian? The answer is no. However, we cannot expect the world to accept the fact of Christ's virgin birth. Some people see it as a nonessential point, or treat it as mythology. It is neither. Although the church has not always been careful to guard this precious truth, it is the foundation of everything Christmas stands for. A woman wrote scoffing at the whole premise today:
"Is anyone going to mention the fact that there is no such thing as a virgin birth? Unless some freak of nature event occurred where Mary had both sex organs in her body or she had artificial insemination then for the love of all sanity who can say they believe in virgin birth? Honestly, this is the 21st century kindly step into it. And for the love of decency leave women's bodies out of this mess."
Regardless of the biblical account that is sufficient, the virgin birth is not at all impossible. Although rare, Parthenogenetic reproduction could occur among human females yet remain unnoticed. A number of rare events would have to occur in close succession, and the chances of these all happening are virtually zero, but not impossible. Parthenogenesis in humans may seem far-fetched, but 50 years ago no-one suspected that parthenogenesis could occur in any vertebrate: now all-female species have been documented in fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds (all major orders of vertebrates except mammals).
For a virgin to get pregnant, one of her eggs would have to produce, on its own, the biochemical changes indicative of fertilization, and then divide abnormally to compensate for the lack of sperm DNA. That's the easy part: These two events occur in the eggs or egg precursor cells of one out of every few thousand women. These two genetic deletions might each have a one in 1 billion chance of occurring, and that's not counting the calcium spike and division problem required to initiate parthenogenesis in the first place. How difficult would it be then, for the Creator to choose a maiden and initiate such a biological event, coupled with the empowerment of Himself as the surrogate Father?
No other detail in the Christmas story is more important than the virgin birth. The virgin birth must have happened exactly the way Scripture says. Otherwise, Christianity has no point at all. If Jesus is simply the illegitimate child of Mary's infidelity, or even if He is the child of Joseph's natural marital union with Mary, He is not God. If He is not God, His claims are lies. If His claims are lies, His salvation is a hoax. And if His salvation is a hoax, we are all still dead in our sins.
Sowing doubts about the reliability of God's Word is one of Satan's favorite pastimes. His typical strategy is to try to make some small but foundational element of a great truth appear insignificant, then ridicule it and call it into question. If he can get people to doubt or deny the smallest foundational truth, he can eventually destroy the entire superstructure. If we doubt even one point of biblical truth, we open the door to denial and unbelief of it all.

Our dedicated team at L'Ortolan
TOM CLARKE - Head ChefTom Clarke, head chef at Michelin-starred L'Ortolan restaurant, grew up in Essex where he was heavily influenced by his grandmother who was a great home cook and taught him basic kitchen skills from a young age. At the age of 13 he found his first job working as a kitchen porter in a local restaurant, watching and learning from the chefs as his interest in cooking grew.
Wanting to gain a more formal education in cooking, Tom attended the Colchester Institute to attain his NVQ Level 3 in Professional Cookery in order to pursue a career as a chef. During the course, he was lucky enough to gain work experience opportunities in prestigious kitchens such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, where the royal standards left a lasting impression on Tom.
After finishing his studies in 2005, Tom started working at 1 Lombard Street in the City of London. Feeling the challenge of the commute on top of the long kitchen hours, after six months he found a role closer to home and returned to Essex to work in local fine dining restaurant Le Talbooth. Here, Tom progressed over three years, leaving with the title of Junior Sous Chef.
In 2008 Tom moved to Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Raymond Blanc's flagship two Michelin star restaurant. Tom was able to work in many different sections of the kitchen, expanding his culinary knowledge and improving his skills and techniques over the two years he was there.
In 2010, Tom moved to Reading's Michelin starred L'Ortolan as Chef de Partie, where he stayed for a year, before deciding he'd like to develop his knowledge of French cuisine and cook in France. He spent 1 year in France, working at the two Michelin starred Le Strato hotel in Courchevel and the legendary L'Oustau de Baumanière in Provence.
Upon his return to England in 2012 he was asked by L'Ortolan's Head Chef Alan Murchinson to return to the restaurant and Tom gladly accepted. Alan left L'Ortolan in 2015 and Tom stepped up as Head Chef, retaining their Michelin star every year since, keeping hold of 3 AA rosettes and also placing the restaurant in the top 20 of Sunday Times top 100 best restaurants in his first year in the role. Along with these accolades, Tom was also nominated for Berkshire Chef of the Year in 2015 and won the Thames Valley Chef of the Year award in 2018.
At L'Ortolan Tom has been able to exercise his creative culinary style where he imparts a modern take on classic French cuisine. Tom takes advantage of the Berkshire setting by foraging for seasonal ingredients as well as sourcing from local producers and foraging locally himself. Be it picking elderflower, elderberries, greengages, Mirabelle plums or even the local wood pigeon, Tom likes his ingredients fresh and seasonal.
L'Ortolan has now held a Michelin star for 17 years and Tom continues to push the boundaries of French fine dining introducing modern techniques and exotic flavours onto the plate.
MARCO NARDI - Restaurant General ManagerMarco is a very passionate professional, and just like one of his favourite wines - he is considered a "biodynamic" manager.
His hospitality background started at the age of 14 in Italy, when he decided to join Hospitality School with the goal of one becoming a great Chef.
After a summer season in a hot, Italian kitchen - he realized that he was missing the direct contact with guests, hence why in his 2nd year he decided to focus on Restaurant & Bar Management.
At the age of 15, during his first international experience at The Palace Hotel in Gstaad (Switzerland) he discovered what later would become his great passion and obsession - wine.
During his 3rd year at Hospitality School, he started researching hotels and restaurants with great and notable wine lists and Sommeliers to work with, and thus he ended up working at several Relais & Chateaux properties in Italy and Europe, where he finally reached a Manager position as Matire Hotel and Head Sommelier at Saint Hubertus Resort in Cervinia ( Italy ).
Finally deciding to search for a new challenge, at the age of just 25 years old, Marco has moved to UK which in his view is considered "one of the most open-minded country when it comes to speaking and discovering wine ".
His first steps led him to Chewton Glen Hotel in Hampshire, under the guidance of Francesco Gabriele (now the Wine Director at Chewton Glen). There he had the chance to be a part of a two year consecutive Best Wine List in UK and had the opportunity to approach the world of the Sommelier competition. During his time at Chewton he reached Management level within the Sommelier department before spending big part of his last couple of months there as a Restaurant Manager.
He joined the Team at L'Ortolan at the beginning of September 2018 as the new Restaurant General Manager, willing to improve within the "Michelin world of fine dining" and by working closely with our Head Chef Tom Clarke, aiming to improve further the exquisite dining experience we provide.
Lucian Obreja - Head SommelierLucian was born in Romania. In his youth he used to cook to his siblings and at this early stage he developed the passion for combining different spices and ingredients together.
As a teenager, after a long day at school he used to work in restaurant, and the more different restaurants he visited, the more experience he gained which helped him develop his dream of becoming a professional chef.
However, working class ambitions initially ended up pushing him down an academic path and eventually lead him to University where he studied Economics. Half way through his course he came to realization that the choice he made would finally put him in front of a computer screen "for the rest of his life". He took a hiatus from studying and decided to move to Italy, where he ended up working in different restaurants for several more years. It was during those years he considered committing fully to a career in hospitality and thus he decided to embrace that path.
For three years he intensely studied Food & Wine at AIS. His free time was spent travelling and visiting various vineyards of Friuli and sampling delicious wines.
His passion for traveling took another curve when he took on a position of a Sommelier at a Silversea Cruise Line ship. Given the opportunity to sample fine wines, great food and meeting with unique personalities. It is during that time I met my future wife, who just like me shared passion for good food and wines. After 4 years spent at sea I moved to UK, got married and did a series of WSET courses, and started working at L'Ortolan.
Wine is my passion, and it's a great privilege to be able to work with it daily. But more than anything, it's the people who make the world of food and wine so fantastic.

There have been some notable releases through Kickstarter.
Eminent Domain - one of the earlier big successes.
D-Day Dice - most successful board game kickstarter to date.
How do you expect Kickstarter to effect the Designer Board Game ecosystem? Will Kickstarter flood the market with too many bad games from people trying to get rich. Will it kill the industry like Napster did to the music industry? Will it be more like Youtube, lowering the entry field for exciting new designers, like Youtube brought us many new entertainers.

I have the need to get information about a specific directory, basically I need to know the correlation between small, medium and big files.
I came up with this:
for i in K M G; do
printf $i
du -h /usr/opt |
awk '{print $1}' |
grep ${i}$ |
wc -l
done | tee /stat.out
from the result then I add all numbers and subtract the total to obtain the number of files under 1k. ( I presume we have a lot of them since it's source files)
Anyway, this way is good for small directories, I actually have a very big one (expecting over 1Tera) and no idea of the files distribution. I need to copy all these files to a private storage and need to give a estimate time on the copy.
I was thinking on the line of doing something as this:
find pwd |xargs ls -lph |awk '{print $5}'
But I miss what I should put after or if I should take another approach.

There might be snow on the roof, and my oldest daughter might be going off to college this fall, but I clearly remember my collegiate experience and how ridiculously expensive all my classroom textbooks were. It was nearly criminal. Even today, textbooks for pre-med or pre-law students, for example, can cost more than the class that require them.
Post-course markets for textbooks have been historically dismal. If the university was willing to buy back your textbooks after the semester ended, you had to be careful. It typically offered only a fraction of the amount you paid for them. Timing also was important, as there was usually only a very small window of opportunity to sell the books back.
Apple has just turned that market upside down with the release of iBooks 2.0, iTunes 10.5.3, and iBooks Author.
iTunes 10.5.3 and iBooks 2.0 let students and professors use textbooks and course materials on iPads. iBooks Author is a Mac desktop app that works much like a desktop publishing app. Fellow BYTE technologist Todd Ogasawara has a complete breakdown of the new app and the process necessary to create an electronic iBook. To learn more about the dollars-and-cents practicality of becoming an iBooks Author publisher, be sure to read InformationWeek's Thomas Claburn's Apple's iBooks Author Software: Just Say No.
Textbooks will cost $14.99 and, once purchased, will belong to the student and not a school district, like traditional textbooks do today. Textbook publishers Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Pearson, and McGraw Hill, representing nearly 90% of the textbook publishing market, are on board. Additional partners include DK Publishing and E.O. Wilson, both of whom introduced new textbooks Thursday.
Obviously, all of these books are optimized for Apple's iPad. So, now that textbooks are clearly a part of Apple's iOS ecosystem, you really have to wonder: What will Google's Android tablet makers do to compensate and compete? A better question might be will they be able to compete?
Google's fragmented ecosystem--with fragmented OS implementations, a wide variety of tablets from entry level to high end, and from complete unknown to well-respected brands ranging in price from $99 to $499--does not inspire a lot of confidence in its ability to provide an equivalent experience. There's so much diversity here that I see it doing little to nothing to help Google capture share in the educational market. Google also has a great deal of work to do to create the publishing tools as well as nurture the content partnerships necessary to compete.
The iPad 2 is already a good study tool. With the right connectivity, students can make course-level presentations, buy all of their course materials, take notes, and create study tools. Teachers and professors can administer exams via Apple's revised, now-standalone iTunes U application. Apple has scaled its existing product to meet the needs of a new market--with minimal expense on its part.
The final specs on the iPad 3, anticipated sometime in March 2012, are still unknown, but one of the rumored improvements is an HD screen. This will make text, photos, illustrations and embedded videos in textbooks even easier to read.

Mediterranean Maritime Park
The Mediterranean Maritime Park in Ceuta
Come to Ceuta in winter and discover this area that brings together the sea, nature and leisure.
In Ceuta there is an architectural development facing the Mediterranean Sea, whose surprising degree of peace and harmony is bound to please. This is the Mediterranean Maritime Park. Canary Islands artist César Manrique created this park whose natural elements, sea water, rocks and buildings blend with the town's historic centre.
Here the sound of the sea and the light of the Mediterranean play a special role. The best way to experience this place is to come and enjoy everything it has to offer. Inside you will find waterfalls that glitter all day long, lakes, palm trees and gardens, that serve as the stage for shows, concerts, dance events and leisure activities.
Discover the small island in the central lake - here you will find a botanical garden with immensely interesting species. In the evening, you can also go on boat rides on these artificial lakes, looking out at Ceuta's nocturnal townscape.
The little ones can play and have fun at the children's games area. Furthermore, the park has bars and restaurants, a casino, a disco in the main building and a castle inspired in city's old defensive walls. All in all, this is a place where people of all ages can have a good time, at any time of year.

Leonardo DiCaprio's turn as FBI founder J. Edgar Hoover is not enough to save "J. Edgar." For all its impressive pedigree, the film certainly feels like an important movie, but its overly ambitious scope prevents it from really nailing its target.
John Edgar Hoover loomed over the American Century like few men. He almost single-handedly built the FBI and advanced any number of investigatory techniques that have no doubt led to the arrest of millions of criminals. But he was also a petty man with an insatiable hunger for power and adulation, bore endless grudges, and compiled extensive files on any number of people whose greatest crime was displeasing him. There's almost too much life to be encompassed in one film, and "J. Edgar" strains under the load.
Hoover's legacy has been dogged for decades by rumors of cross-dressing and a homosexual relationship with his #2 at the Bureau, Clyde Tolson, and screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, the openly gay Oscar-winning writer of "Milk," unflinchingly tackles the subject. The film deals with the Hoover-Tolson relationship best when it tries the least. There are quiet moments between the two men that are sincerely touching, but early on, when Tolson makes Hoover promise that no matter how bad a day they've had, they'll always have lunch and dinner together? C'mon—who talks like that?
Director Clint Eastwood (coming off possibly the worst film of career his behind the camera, "Hereafter") is in some ways the perfect man to helm Black's script, his lifelong reputation as a law-and-order tough guy and Republican insulating the film from accusations of being just a lefty screed. Eastwood's narrative marches steadily onward, even with its flipping back-and-forth between decades. But while the film never lags, it also fails to crackle or pull you in. It's all set up and not nearly enough payoff. But maybe that's the point, because the film is, as much as anything, a tale of an unconsummated love that simmered for a half-century.
"J. Edgar" also deals at length with Hoover's abuse of power, his petty grudges and his constant bending of the law, all in the name of security and justice. Just as Robert Redford's Lincoln assassination drama, "The Conspirator," clearly was a critique of the Bush Administration, "J. Edgar" fires a few shots across the same bow. Listening to Hoover talk about wiretaps without warrants, deportations of immigrants, or arming G-Men, it's impossible not to be reminded of the fear-mongering drumbeat of W.
DiCaprio's inherent boyishness, which at times can undermine his performance, works to his advantage here, dovetailing nicely with Black's portrait of Hoover as a overgrown boy over-eager to please his mother so as to make up for the lack of a woman in his life. If there's one Oscar race that can be called right now, it's for Best Make-Up, because the transformation undergone by DiCaprio, as his portrayal of Hoover spans some 48 years, is amazing. DiCaprio and his team of make-up artists age Hoover both inside and out, from head to toe. DiCaprio's Hoover is constantly charging forward, leaning in, shaking with energy and anger. But as he gets older, the lean becomes a stoop, and the shaking is just old age
"J. Edgar" opens in limited release today. It will expand into more theaters this Friday.

One of the problems in properly commemorating slave emancipation for the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War is the relative lack of black voices, especially slaves. This is particularly true of contemporaneous voices. That is, the words of African Americans from the time of the Civil War itself. Certainly, many former slaves later shared their stories with the Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s, in autobiographies, and other places, such as Civil War pension file testimony (please forgive the self promotion). These sources, while valuable, are dogged by fading memories, colored by subsequent events, and reshaped by the agendas of the people relating them. Hence, while by no means perfect, contemporary black voices of the Civil War have a greater reliability than later sources.
Yet the words of slaves from the time of the Civil War itself are exceedingly rare. First, only a small part of the slave population was literate, probably less than 10 percent. Slaveholders believed literacy made slaves discontented with their condition and state law in the South generally prohibited educating slaves. Second, even if slaves could write, it was rare that their words were preserved. Those that survived usually did so because they some how came into the hands of the federal government.
Such was the case of a letter written 150 years ago today by a liberated slave named John Boston. On January 12, 1862, Boston put pen to paper to let his wife in Maryland know he had escaped successfully and found refuge with a New York regiment then encamped in Virginia. The letter was some how intercepted and made its way via a committee of the Maryland legislature, handling the interests of loyal slaveholders in the state, to Union Army commander, George McClellan, and from him to the U.S. War Department. From the War Department, it eventually was deposited with other federal papers at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., where it was discovered eventually by researchers of the Freedmen and Southern Society Project at the University of Maryland. It is from their website that the text of Boston's letter is taken, which follows. It is a powerful testimony not only of the preciousness of freedom to the slaves, but also the importance of family in the 19th-century slave community.

Universal Shortest Paths (2010)
We introduce the universal shortest path problem (Univ-SPP) which generalizes both - classical and new - shortest path problems. Starting with the definition of the even more general universal combinatorial optimization problem (Univ-COP), we show that a variety of objective functions for general combinatorial problems can be modeled if all feasible solutions have the same cardinality. Since this assumption is, in general, not satisfied when considering shortest paths, we give two alternative definitions for Univ-SPP, one based on a sequence of cardinality contrained subproblems, the other using an auxiliary construction to establish uniform length for all paths between source and sink. Both alternatives are shown to be (strongly) NP-hard and they can be formulated as quadratic integer or mixed integer linear programs. On graphs with specific assumptions on edge costs and path lengths, the second version of Univ-SPP can be solved as classical sum shortest path problem.
