Open World Recap
By Matthew Haavisto-Oracle on Oct 24, 2014
Oracle's Open World conference was completed in early October. It was one of the best ever for PeopleSoft. We introduced a lot of new and important features like the new Fluid User Experience and the PeopleSoft Update Manager (and much more). The response from customers was overwhelmingly positive. Our sessions were well attended, and the demo grounds were consistently busy with inquisitive customers.
PeopleSoft offered informative general sessions like Paco Aubrejuan's "PeopleSoft Strategy and Roadmap—Modern Solutions Delivered with Ease" . In that session, Oracle's Senior Vice President and General Manager of PeopleSoft Development addressed a standing room only crowd, and described how Oracle's continued investment in PeopleSoft is delivering key innovations that address our customer's greatest challenges:
- Delivering a robust solution that is intuitive and easy to use – regardless of device (mobile device or desktop workstation)
- Ensuring that new PeopleSoft capabilities are delivered on a continuous basis and are easy to adopt at a low cost, without the need to upgrade.
Paco shared how the investments in the new PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface and the new continuous PeopleSoft Delivery Model address these challenges.
PeopleSoft Application sessions were also well attended. Our applications teams provided greater depth and specificity, describing how PeopleSoft applications are taking advantage of the latest PeopleTools technology, particularly in the areas of the Fluid UI and PeopleSoft Update Manager and the new delivery model.
Our PeopleTools Tech sessions were packed with curious, enthusiastic customers. Here are some highlights:
The PeopleTools team delivered several sessions focused on the Fluid User Interface, covering different aspects and for different audiences.
- Matthew Haavisto presented a survey of the new features from a user's point of view, as well as a glimpse at what is coming for Fluid in future releases of PeopleTools.
- Jeff Robbins covered how to take advantage of many of the new Fluid features.
- Dave Bain covered Fluid from a mobile perspective and described how developers can build, customize, and deploy Fluid features.
Life Cycle is another important topic that was addressed in these sessions.
- Mike Krajicek presented with a customer (Boeing) on Optimizing change delivery.
- Dave Bain covered not only the new PeopleSoft Update Manager, but the new delivery model that will enable customers to reduce cost and receive new functionality and fixes faster.
- Tim Durant and Vijay Gopalan presented a deep dive on all the life-cycle management tools.
There were several valuable sessions that were either new this year or perennial favorites that are updated for the latest release.
- Pramod Agrawal demonstrated how to set up a cluster of PeopleSoft Applications including the Interaction Hub.
- Jim Marion presented his always popular PeopleTools Tips and Techniques session.
- Jeff Robbins covered the PeopleSoft Analytics and Reporting Suite.
- Greg Kelly described how to secure your system against the ever changing threats that are continuously emerging.
- Dave Bain described the continuing evolution of PeopleSoft integration technology.
- Mark Hoernemann covered the Platforms Roadmap.
- Jeff Robbins presented the overall tools and tech roadmap.
- Matthew Haavisto showed how to guide users through complex or infrequently performed processes using Activity Guides.
Finally, we also offered the ever-popular panel discussions and 'Meet the Experts' sessions.
If you would like to review any of our sessions, go to Oracle's Open World site and download the presentations from the content catalog.

Adapting to the new PeopleSoft Delivery Model
By Dave Bain-Oracle on Sep 23, 2014
By now, most of you have heard that PeopleSoft change the way maintenance and enhancements are delivered with version 9.2 applications. If you would like to find out more about the process and the life-cycle tools, lots of information can be found on the PeopleSoft Update Manager Home Page on My Oracle Support (Doc ID 1464619.1). You can find details on how to set up the environment, what has changed, hardware and software pre-reqs and much, much more. What is missing, is how the customer can get the most out of the process.
PeopleSoft has published a new white paper called Adapting to PeopleSoft Continuous Delivery. In the paper it describes the benefits of the new life-cycle process and what organizations can do to benefit the most from the change. Of course you can find the document on the PeopleSoft Information Portal, www.peoplesoftinfo.com, or just click on the link above. When you think about how big of a change this is, it's worth a read.
Look for this to be a hot topic at this years Oracle Open World 2014 and beyond.

PeopleTools Simplifies Internet Explorer Certifications
By Mark.Hoernemann-Oracle on Sep 18, 2014
With the GA of PeopleTools 8.54 a couple months ago, customers have been reviewing the certification requirements for PeopleTools 8.54 as they plan their upgrades. A number of questions have come up recently dealing with certified browsers. Just last month, I blogged about the Internet Explorer requirements required to support the new Fluid UI.
We've made a change recently to simplify the Internet Explorer browser environment for PeopleTools. Oracle has moved to model where we will support all of the operating systems that Microsoft supports for a particular release of IE. When the certification details are reviewed on the Certifications tab in MyOracleSupport, we will no longer call out each of the supported operating systems.
Following this change, I've received some additional browser related inquiries. Some customers were hoping that this would mean Windows XP could hang around in their environment a bit longer. A question was raised as to whether or not we would support PeopleSoft running IE 11 on Windows XP. Yes, that's the operating system that was released back on Oct 25, 2001. The very simple answer is a very firm 'NO'. Microsoft's mainstream support for Windows XP ended back in 2009, and extended support ended in of April of this year. Microsoft is even attempting to make it clear that XP is dead. PeopleSoft can't support dead operating systems.
New IE browser releases will continue to require explicit certification testing prior to certification – at least for now. When a new release is certified, it will be certified across all operating systems that Microsoft supports the release with mainstream support.
Do you have a question on browser certifications? For this or other platform certification questions, be sure to attend PeopleTools Roadmap – Platforms (session CON7590) at Openworld on Wednesday, Oct 1, at 12:45 in Moscone West - room 2022. See you there!

Open World Session--Functional Overview of the PeopleSoft Fluid User Experience: The Home Page
By Matthew Haavisto-Oracle on Aug 26, 2014
PeopleTools 8.54 is a landmark release for Oracle/PeopleSoft, and you are starting to see a lot of information on it, both in this blog and elsewhere. One of the most important aspects of this release is the new Fluid User Experience. This is a broad-ranging subject, so you will see posts from a functional perspective (this post), a developer's perspective, and announcements about Fluid applications that are being delivered by PeopleSoft.
Perhaps you've heard about how the Fluid user experience provides support for mobile applications. While that is certainly true, Fluid offers much more than that. What the Fluid UX really provides is the ability to access PeopleSoft applications across a variety of form factors from smart phones to tablets to desktops/laptops. Fluid applications present a common user experience on a variety of devices regardless of screen size. These applications are efficient and attractive as well, and offer the kind of user experience the modern work force is expecting. So no matter how your users access PeopleSoft, they will be presented with the same intuitive user experience. This post is the first of a series covering the main features that you will see in Fluid applications when you install them or if you develop some yourself. We'll also cover how to get started with Fluid/PeopleTools 8.54, and how new Fluid application pages will work with your existing applications.
We'll start today with perhaps the most fundamental feature of the Fluid UX: the Home Page. This page provides a base or launch pad for users to navigate to their essential work. Home pages are designed for specific roles, so they contain all the essentials for each role without extraneous menus or content that might distract users. In this way, Fluid Home Pages are conceptually similar to current home pages or dashboards, but Fluid home pages employ the new responsive UI that renders well on different form factors.
Let's look at the main features of the Home page.
The first thing you'll notice about Home Pages is that they contain a variety of Tiles. Tiles can serve as navigation mechanisms, but may also convey dynamic information. Tiles are similar in purpose to pagelets, but are not as interactive. They are responsive, however, and can automatically change size and position to accommodate different form factors.
Now let's take a look at the Home Page header, which contains several useful features. Central is the Home Page drop down menu. This takes the place of tabs, and enables users to move among all the home pages that they use. Users may serve in a variety of roles in an enterprise, and they may therefore have more than one Home Page—one for each role they play. For example, a person may be a manager, but they are also an employee, and as such they have different activities and tasks they perform in both those roles. They would likely have different home pages for those different roles.
Next is the PeopleSoft Search widget. This provides for a search-centric navigation paradigm, and enables users to search from almost anywhere within their PeopleSoft system. In addition, with the new PeopleSoft search, users can search across pillars and retrieve results from all their PeopleSoft content. The search results are even actionable, so users can often complete a task right from the search results page.
Notifications are a handy mechanism that lets users know when there are tasks requiring their attention. The Notifications widget displays the number of items requiring attention. When the user clicks the widget a window displays the sum of all notifications from all applications to which the user has access. The user can act on those items directly from the Notifications window.
Next is the Actions widget. This menu is configurable, but one of the main actions available is Personalizations. This takes the user to a page where they can add or remove tiles from a Home Page, delete Home Pages, or even create new home pages and configure them.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we have the Navigation Bar widget. This opens the Nav Bar, which enables users to get anywhere in their PeopleSoft system. The Nav Bar is flexible configurable, powerful and intuitive.
The Nav Bar is a rich topic in its own right, and will be covered in a separate blog post in the near future. In fact, the Fluid user experience is a large subject, so we'll be posting many more articles describing its features in greater depth. We'll also provide a taste of developing Fluid applications.
If you would like more information on the Fluid UX (and everything PeopleSoft) please see the PeopleSoft Information Portal.
We will also be covering the Fluid UX in great depth in several sessions at Oracle Open World. Come see us at the conference! You'll not only acquire useful information, but you can talk with us personally and see live demos of these features. Here are a few sessions in particular that cover the Fluid UX:
- A Closer Look at the New PeopleSoft Fluid User Experience (CON7567)
- PeopleSoft Mobility Deep Dive: PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface and More (CON7588)
- PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface: A Modern User Experience for PeopleSoft HCM on Any Device (CON7667)
- PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.54: PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface in Action (CON7595)

PeopleTools 8.54 Upgrade Now Available

PeopleTools 8.54 – New Functionality, New Browser Releases
By Mark.Hoernemann-Oracle on Aug 14, 2014
PeopleTools 8.54 has numerous enhancements to offer, but it does have some browser requirements that go along with it as well. As customers look at the much improved user interface along with other enhancements being delivered in PeopleTools 8.54, they will look to take advantage of the release and plan their upgrade. As they plan, diligent customers will review certifications and notice that PeopleTools 8.54 certifies only newer browser releases. For Internet Explorer, IE 9 is the absolute minimum for the Classic UI, and IE 11 (or higher) is required to take advantage of the new Fluid UI. As they continue to prepare for the upgrade, some may discover that they have older applications that have hard requirements for a less than current IE release. Can you say IE 8? I have come across a couple scenarios already where customers have that one critical application that hasn't been updated in 5+ years and requires the use of IE 8; it can't work with IE9 or above. Another situation I've seen is where a customer isn't scheduled to roll out IE 9 (or above) to their user base prior to their scheduled go live date.
As they evaluate options, some customers facing this situation are able to implement a dual browser environment using Chrome or Firefox for PeopleSoft, and an older IE browser required for antiquated applications. Other customers have begun to ask what PeopleTools functionality might simply not work if they decide to move forward with an uncertified browser environment. Since we test our software with certified browser combinations, we sometimes aren't sure which features might be partially supported by older browsers, and which simply won't work.
The problem is that older versions of Internet Explorer simply did not contain the functionality that current browsers have. While those versions render HTML and CSS content, they often do so in very specific, non-standard fashion. A state of the art application like PeopleSoft relies on rich functionality implemented in the latest versions of the HTML and CSS standards. PeopleSoft utilizes AJAX and the latest accessibility suggestions as outlined in the Web Accessible Initiative – Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite (WAI-ARIA). IE 8 and previous browsers were not designed to support this functionality adequately, and cannot deliver the performance that modern browsers do.
We expect that the following areas would be problematic if using IE 8 or (gulp) something older with the Classic UI. Of course, Fluid UI functionality will not work.
- Layout issues
- Nonfunctional breadcrumbs
- Accessibility problems
- Performance issues
- Problematic charts and graphs
- Mobile Application Platform (MAP)
Note that there are almost certainly other issues that would arise from the use of outdated and uncertified browsers.
As you make plans to roll out the best release of PeopleTools yet, we STRONGLY recommend that you use only certified environment components. We test and certify environments for a reason - so that we can find as many issues as possible, before you do. Should you find a bug we missed, our Support organization stands ready to assist you in obtaining a resolution in your certified environment. We want your roll out to be as smooth as possible - take advantage of our testing and give your users the best experience available.

PeopleTools 8.54: Accessibility
By Matthew Haavisto-Oracle on Aug 04, 2014
This entry is one of a series of posts that will introduce readers to important features of this landmark release.
PeopleTools has long supported accessibility, and with PeopleTools 8.54 we are able to conform to WCAG 2.0 AA standards. This means that upcoming PeopleSoft applications that are built on PeopleTools 8.54 will be designed to conform to those standards. Customers that build pages, add-on applications, or customizations can also create conforming pages using PeopleTools 8.54. Most enterprises--especially those with a global footprint--are requiring WCAG conformance for the software they use. In fact many companies that operate in the U.S. only are using the WCAG standards as the basis for their requirements.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are part of a series of guidelines published by the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative. Their goal is to make content accessible, primarily for disabled users but also for all user agents, including highly limited devices, such as mobile phones. The current version (2.0) of the guidelines is also an ISO standard: ISO/IEC 40500:2012. WCAG 2.0 is an international standard used in most countries that enforce accessibility regulations. The new standard provides additional requirements to address new web technologies and has become the standard by which many organizations monitor software compliance. WCAG 2.0 extends standards described in WCAG 1.0 as well as the U.S.-specific regulations described in section 508 of Federal access standards.

- Flotek Industries (FTK +34.3%) soars after reporting better than expected Q2 results, driven by acceleration in adoption of its CnF technology, with volumes growing 76% Q/Q despite a 40% drop in overall activity in North American markets.

Funeral director
|The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2010)
A funeral director, also known as a mortician or undertaker, is a professional involved in the business of funeral rites. These tasks often entail the embalming and burial or cremation of the dead, as well as the planning and arrangement of the actual funeral ceremony. Funeral directors may at times be asked to perform tasks such as dressing (in garments usually suitable for daily wear), casketing (placing the human body in the container), and cossetting (applying any sort of cosmetic or substance to the viewable areas of the person for the purpose of enhancing appearances).
As the societal need to account for the dead and their survivors is as ancient as civilization itself, death care is among the world's oldest professions. Ancient Egypt is a probable pioneer in supporting full-time morticians; intentional mummification began c. 2600 BC, with the best-preserved mummies dating to c. 1570 to 1075 BC. Specialized priests spent 70 full days on a single corpse. Only royalty, nobility and wealthy commoners could afford the service, considered an essential part of accessing eternal life.[1]
Across successive cultures, religion remained a prime motive for securing a body against decay and/or arranging burial in a planned manner; some considered the fate of departed souls to be fixed and unchangeable (e.g., ancient Mesopotamia) and considered care for a grave to be more important than the actual burial.[2]
In Ancient Rome, wealthy individuals trusted family to care for their corpse, but funeral rites would feature professional mourners: most often actresses who would announce the presence of the funeral procession by wailing loudly. Other paid actors would don the masks of ancestors and recreate their personalities, dramatizing the exploits of their departed scion. These purely ceremonial undertakers of the day nonetheless had great religious and societal impact; a larger number of actors indicated greater power and wealth for the deceased and their family.[3]
Modern ideas about proper preservation of the dead for the benefit of the living arose in the European Age of Enlightenment. Dutch scientist Frederik Ruysch's work attracted the attention of royalty and legitimized postmortem anatomy.[4] Most importantly, Ruysch developed injected substances and waxes that could penetrate the smallest vessels of the body and seal them against decay.[5]
Role in the United States[edit]
In the U.S., most modern day funeral homes are run as family businesses.[citation needed] The majority of morticians work in small, independent family run funeral homes. The owner usually hires two or three other morticians to help them. Often, this hired help is in the family, perpetuating the family's ownership. Other firms that were family-owned have been acquired and are operated by large corporations such as Service Corporation International, though such homes usually trade under their pre-acquisition names.[citation needed]
Most funeral homes have one or more viewing rooms, a preparation room for embalming, a chapel, and a casket selection room. They usually have a hearse for transportation of bodies, a flower car, and limousines. They also normally sell caskets and urns.[6]
Organizations and licensing in the United States[edit]
In the United States, the individual states each have their own licensing regulations for funeral directors. Most require a combination of post-secondary education (typically an associate's degree), passage of a National Board Examination,[7] passage of a state board examination, and one to two years' work as an apprentice.[8]
Employment opportunities[edit]
Mortuary science graduates may have to relocate to find jobs.[6]

YMMV: MacGruber
- Ear Worm: The MacGruber theme is so damned catchy. Hell, even the MacGruber! shout by itself is catchy.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: The film's climax, set off by Cunth cutting of a lock of Mac's hair, who responds by ripping two of Cunth's men's throats, followed by Lt. Piper distracting another with the "Celery Trick", and Vicki kicking the remaining goon. Oh, but it gets better, Mac attempts to defuse the warhead, but ultimately can't, settling on removing it's nuclear content and the guidance system, effectively destroying both Cunth and his headquarters.
- Given how un-subtle the rest of the movie is, you have to wonder if it's coincidence that MacGruber effectively beats the missile by ripping its throat out.
- When MacGruber and Piper are pinned down in the back of their surveillance van by one of Von Cunth's mooks, Grubes uses the handle of an Incredi-Mop to turn the van's ignition key, then to push the gas pedal, running the mook over.
- Crowning Moment of Funny: The sex scenes of the movie, which consists of MacGruber randomly shouting "Fill you up!" and grunting are funny as hell.
- Fetish Fuel: MacGruber having sex with his dead fiance's ghost. Rule 34 knows no bounds.

Brown Bread was asked to bring the female business community together to celebrate International Women's Day. We asked four brilliant women in our community to speak about how they #makeithappen. Speakers included:
The Canterbury & West Coast branch of the Cancer Society knew their ball needed a revamp. They challenged Brown Bread to 'bring back the ball'. Mission accomplished.
Fairfax Events are continuing to innovate and build world-class event properties for New Zealand. They asked Brown Bread to investigate the potential of bringing the famous Australian Good Food Month across the ditch to Aoteoroa. We took on this task with 100% gleeeeee!
Christchurch Art Gallery's Foundation is on a roll. With the help of Brown Bread, the Foundation has recently hosted their second mid-winter gala dinner (even though the Gallery remains closed thanks to earthquake repairs). This time, it continued with the simple model of inviting an artist to theme the room and chefs complimenting the food with their food. You couldn't have asked for a better combo than three super stars visiting from Europe - NZ artist Bill Culbert - bringing function and light to the evening, and chef superstar duo, Fergus and Margot Henderson (from Restaurant St John and Rochelle Canteen fame) bringing their simplistic, fresh and 'whack' food to town.

The Boise Ubuntu Group is putting together a group of volunteers to have a table at the event as well as help out where possible.

The details from Boise Code Camp:
February 7th Boise Linux Group Meeting ReportSubmitted by Clint on Sun, 02/17/2013 - 10:07am
Thanks for Darin for the following report: We had quite an eventful evening. Arriving at 6:00 to help Tammie with her laptop, Martin and I find our standard room is occupied by a "brownie" troop. Martin noticed they would finished at 7:00, but another group was scheduled right after them. No other rooms were open, so we met on the 3rd floor at the recommendation of the scheduling assistant. The Boise Public Library made the executive meeting room available to us suit at no charge (normally it's $25).

December 6th Meeting Report * UbuntuStudio * xfce 4.10 * Other TopicsSubmitted by Clint on Fri, 12/07/2012 - 8:43am
Clint started off the meeting with some comments on the current state of the deskop by referring to an article by Steven_J._Vaughan_Nichols who comments on both Windows 8 and the amount of dislike of the Gnome 3.0 based desktops OSs are Leaving the User out of the User Interface. The article mentions the KISS principal, Keep it Simple which is leads us to tonight's presentation on UbuntuStudio XFCE.
November 1st Meeting Report * Discussions * FreeNASSubmitted by Clint on Mon, 11/19/2012 - 6:57pm
We had a pretty good turnout with one new person who pretty much took over the meeting in talking about BackTrack Linux - A Penetration Testing Distribution, Navigating the Internet by avoiding default DNS servers and Project Meshnet, and his experience in building his own distributed computing kernel that utilizes similarly configured pc's to share processing time and power.
Member Chad spoke about how Drop Box sharing uses his home network to sync PC's on the same network including windows systems.
Ocotober 4th Meeting Report * Kubuntu 12.04 Desktop * KDE 4.9.2Submitted by Clint on Sun, 10/07/2012 - 10:51am
Tonight's meeting got off to a fast start with 7 present and Darin getting right into his presentation on Kubuntu and the latest KDE SC 4.9.2 Desktop. He has been a long time user of GNome and recently moved to KDE, primarily due to the limitations and stability of the GNome desktop and the Compiz manager. He now uses Kwin which is integrated into KDE 4.9.2 which gives him the keyboard shortcuts and desktop features essential to him.

August 2nd Meeting Notes * Rasberry Pi * Installing 12.04 NOACPI * ConversationsSubmitted by Clint on Sat, 09/01/2012 - 6:41pm
Had another good meeting! Ed W. brought his Raspberry Pi in and hooked it up and gave us a demo. It was running the Raspberry version of Fedora. Had a 1080p video output, wireless all running from a sd card. During the meeting, we played with Ed's Raspberry Pi. With Federal 18 installed, it ran very slow-the CPU hit 100% by invoking almost any activity. We were able to power the device off my USB port of my laptop. The HDMI out plugged straight into the projector and worked great. We recommended that Ed try Ubuntu 12.10 as the kernel has many ARM optimizations or try Jelly Bean.
July 5th Meeting Notes - Fedora 17 Ultimate Edition 3.4 Netrunner 4.2Submitted by Clint on Fri, 07/06/2012 - 7:19am

One of our members presents was having difficulty installing the non-PAE and was going to try this method on a couple of his PC's. Darin had planned on demonstrating a manual install of the latest Libre Office, however the past PPA's were not existent.

|ESPN.com: Football
|[Print without images]
Arizona Cardinals star Larry Fitzgerald has a chance to become one of the most prolific wide receivers in NFL history. Fitzgerald entered the 2008 season with 330 career receptions -- more than the NFL's career receptions leader, Jerry Rice, had at the same point in his career.
|Larry Fitzgerald used a lot of talent and a little bit of luck to become one of the best players in the NFL.
Of course, Fitzgerald never saw this coming back in high school. As a ball boy for the Minnesota Vikings up through his senior year, Fitzgerald got an inside look at the talent it takes to be one of the league's best by watching Randy Moss and Cris Carter.
Fitzgerald took those lessons to the field at the Academy of Holy Angels (Richfield, Minn.), catching 73 passes for 1,254 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior before spending a post-grad year at Valley Forge Military Academy (Wayne, Pa.) to prepare for college ball at Pittsburgh.
ESPN RISE: What was the Academy of Holy Angels like?
Larry Fitzgerald: It was a phenomenal school. The teachers really cared about you so much. They'd do anything they had to do for you to be successful. The sports were quality. All the coaches really cared about the players. I still talk to my coaches there -- all five of them. They don't just care about you as an athlete. When I lost my mom in college, I can't tell you how many people were at the funeral. To have that outpouring of support from people like that means a lot to me. We had a great bond in my class. We did some good things. We never won a state championship, but I loved playing with those guys. I still talk to those guys. The love and passion the guys in high school play with -- it's not about money or fame. It's just about the love of the sport. That's what makes high school so pure.

Starting our US Trip in Maine!
... for a while, can't believe that we've actually completed that part of the trip! Our first adventure was going through the border crossing at St Stephens, New Brunswick into Calais Maine, it is tiny! We were already in the lineup before we realized & got a bit worried that the motorhome & car wouldn't fit through - it was like many gas stations a tight squeeze!! We drove very slowly & managed okay in the end. The ...
Tuesday Date Night
... extrememly fast. In addition to the lobster, we had coleslaw, corn on the cob, a roll and THE BEST blueberry pie a la mode. Energized from the intricate process of picking a lobster, we decided to drive into Bar Harbor for a few hours. We drove through Acadia National Park and followed the park loop road around Cadillac Mountain following Sand Beach Trail. This led us to Thunder Hole which is a rock formation that has been so badly ...
Acadia in the sun
... and that appears to be the only way to get there. I saved the beach for later and took the Ocean Path. This walk goes from the beach to the Otter Cliffs and is 1.5 miles. Most of the path is fairly even but there are some portions where you do a little climbing. Thunder Hole is .7 miles in on the walk. There is a small gift shop there as well as bathrooms and a bus stop. Thunder Hole wasn't as loud as it had been on Friday, but it was ...

Let's just say I'm pretty sure no one walked out of the door empty handed, and there was a scandalous amount of chocolate and sugar being consumed and shared on the bus shortly afterwards, with no one to tell us ...
No room in the Inn
... we had very limited time. Our original plan was to bike the carriage trails (recommended by multiple people), but between the heat and the time crunch, we decided to drive the Loop Road and visit places along the way. Cadillac Mountain, the highest point in the park at 1,530 ft, had unbeatable views and my rock loving children had a good time exploring the area. Every stop had a beauty of it's own but our favorite by far was Otter Cliffs. Otter Cliffs ...

|TERSANO INC. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|TREATMENT OF WATER TO EXTEND HALF-LIFE OF OZONE - A system for providing an acidic ionized ozonated liquid. The system includes a liquid inlet arranged to accept a liquid into the system; an acid-based cation-exchange resin in fluid communication with the liquid inlet, the resin adapted to exchange cations in the accepted liquid with H+ ions on the resin; an ozone dissolving apparatus in fluid communication with the liquid inlet and the acid-based cation-exchange resin; and a liquid outlet in fluid communication with the liquid inlet, the acid-based cation-exchange resin and the ozone dissolving apparatus. The ozone dissolving apparatus and the acid-based cation-exchange resin cooperating to produce the acidic ionized ozonated liquid for dispensation out of the system via the liquid outlet.
|HOLDING TANK-LESS WATER OZONATING SYSTEM USING ELECTROLYTIC DECOMPOSITION OF WATER - A system is described herein which provides an ozonated liquid. The system comprises a liquid inlet arranged to continuously accept a liquid into the system at a desired flow rate; a liquid outlet to dispense ozonated liquid out of the system, the ozonated liquid having an oxidation-reduction potential of at least 450 mV due solely to ozone dissolved in the liquid, the liquid outlet being in fluid communication with the liquid inlet and arranged to dispense the ozonated liquid out of the system at the desired flow rate. The system has a tank-less ozonation flow path between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet, the flow path adapted to ozonate the accepted liquid, producing the ozonated liquid to be dispensed out of the system. The accepted liquid has a fluid residence time in the ozonation flow path of less than 5 minutes prior to being dispensed as the ozonated liquid.
|SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR WATER FILTRATION AND PURIFICATION - A system for water purification, filtration and item sanitization are described herein. In one embodiment, a water filtration device uses an extruded carbon sheet or granulated activated carbon to filter unpurified, gravity-fed water. A filtering medium is provided within a lower opening of an upper reservoir for filtering unfiltered water passing therethrough, the filtering medium being located above and not extending into a lower reservoir. The device can be a stand-alone water container or incorporated within a water purification system having a further purification technology located in a base in fluid communication with the water container. The base can include controls for informing a user when the water filtration or item sanitization has been completed. Practical applications include drinking water filtration, sanitization of household items, medical equipment, and the like.
|Ozonated Water Dispenser - An ozonated water dispenser allows a user to kill bacteria and microbiological organisms on their hands or other objects. The dispenser includes a reservoir, a pump, and an ozonated water delivery means downstream from the pump to dispense pressurized ozonated water in a fine mist. The delivery means includes a mister and a control valve, such as a solenoid, to restrict water flow in a water line to build up water pressure between the pump and the control valve to overcome the mister's cracking pressure. A water ozonation means is provided downstream from the ozonated water delivery means, and in communication with an inlet of the reservoir to recirculate water. This dispenser uses regular tap water and can be employed as an alternative to a sanitizing gel, or when use of a gel is not practical or desirable, such as for sanitizing fresh produce after its purchase.

W00t! Just lit Xaero-B's engine.
— David Masten (@dmasten) April 9, 2013
When I drove past the airport earlier today, Masten had a crane out at the test site which indicated they were doing tether tests.
Excerpted from the FAA report, "Commercial Space Transportation: 2012 Year in Review".
FAA Suborbital Flight Summary
On October 6, at New Mexico's Spaceport America, Armadillo Aerospace's STIG-B suborbital reusable vehicle (SRV) made the only FAA-licensed suborbital launch of 2012. However, six other suborbital vehicles flew under experimental permits or Class 3 waivers.
The STIG-B flight was the first FAA-licensed launch from Spaceport America. The launch experienced an in-flight abort. It did not reach its planned altitude, but the vehicle was successfully recovered intact and later used to conduct launch tests in November and December. Armadillo successfully launched its STIG-A vehicle under a Class 3 Waiver in January, but the vehicle was lost during recovery.

Athough Masten Space Systems lost its Xaero vehicle during a test flight in September, the reusable rocket lives on at the company's headquarters at the Mojave Air and Space Port. Part of the vehicle has been turned into a grill, which was used the other day for the company's holiday party. Alexander Hreiz (@MdlRcktScientst) Tweeted the picture.
Masten Space Systems' Xaero vehicle crashed during a test flight in Mojave on Tuesday. according to the company's blog:
Today, Masten Space Systems conducted a flight test of Xaero to 1 km altitude with the intention of testing flight controls at higher ascent and descent velocities. Our test objectives were met and initial results show the vehicle performed better than expected at altitude. However, the vehicle was lost during final approach to landing, and the initial cause appears to be a throttle valve failure. The most important thing is that our team is safe and with the data from this test, we expect to be flying again soon!
Thanks for your support!

Video Caption: Masten's Xaero returns to the skies to complete a flight to 444 meters [1,457 feet] AGL – a record for Xaero and the company. Xaero took some time off while the team put significant work into updating her landing gear and cutting mass and solving some guidance issues. Onward and upward!

Video Caption: Upon completion of Xaero's free flight hover earlier this month, she performed yet another successful free flight to an altitude of 61 meters on February 17th, 2012. The exterior view of the flight reveals a bobble at apogee, as well as a slight rocking motion after touchdown. Despite these imperfections, the flight was a complete success, with all test objectives reached or exceeded.
Video Caption: After rigorous adherence to Masten's "modify, test, modify" philosophy, Xaero has finally been unleashed from the safety tether, and performed a successful free flight hover this week. Improvements to our control algorithms were validated under tether earlier in the week, followed by careful analysis of Xaero's flight performance. The result is a picture perfect 22 second hover flight.

NFL Week 13 Heroes And Goats
Week 13 Heroes And Goats
Every week in the NFL there are heroes and goats, and this week is no different. Week 13 saw some amazing performances, as well as some absolute duds. In this new weekly segment I'm going to take you through the heroes of the NFL week that was, as well as the goats. There are criteria for the weekly winners and just because you threw for 400 yards and 3 touchdowns doesn't necessarily land you on this list. Of you put up great numbers and you blow the game for your team, you could be a goat. It also works vice versa, it you stink it up all day but make the big plays at the end to win the game, you could wind up being a hero! We don't know who it's going to be from week to week; sometimes it'll be obvious who it'll be, other times you may be surprised.
This is the NFL where things can change pretty quickly and going from hero to goat may not take much but landing on this list will either be the worst thing that you want to happen or the best thing that ever happened! You could also be a hero one week, only to find yourself the goat the next because this list does not play favorites or look into the future; it's all about what happened this week in the NFL. So who made this week's list of heroes and goats? The only way to know is to click here.
Week 13 Heroes and Goats:
5. Goat: Mark Sanchez
How many times is Mark Sanchez going to end up on this list? He was pulled from the game at halftime because he had thrown three interceptions and led the Jets to zero points. His backup got the winning touchdown with him on the bench. Holding a clipboard rarely makes you a hero.
4. Goat: Ryan Lindley
On the flip side, Ryan Lindley continued the trend of Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks embarrassing themselves. Lindley threw for 72 yards on 31 attempts, including an interception in the loss to the Jets. Larry Fitzgerald told reporters after the game he has to laugh, or he'd be crying. Not good.
3. Goat: Bears Defense
The Chicago Bears defense has been one of the best in the league this year but with the game on the line against a rookie quarterback, they gave up the lead in the last few seconds. Then they lost the game on the first possession of overtime. Not a great game for the Bears defense and they end up here.
2. Goat: David Akers
David Akers missed an attempt at a game winning FG the first game against the St. Louis Rams and he did it again this week. He missed a 51-yd FG in perfect conditions and it allowed the Rams to win the game. Jim Harbaugh and Colin Kaepernick could also land here for that ridiculous option call late in the 4th quarter but Akers had the game on his foot.
1. Goat: Drew Brees
Drew Brees threw five interceptions in an important game against their NFC South rivals. The Saints are now on the outside of the playoff picture and it doesn't look good. His streak of throwing a touchdown pass also ended at a record 54 games. Not a great week for Brees, a hero turned goat.
5. Hero: Andrew Luck
Andrew Luck brought his team back after being down 12 points late in the 4th quarter against the Lions. He showed great poise and made all the right decisions down the stretch. It was a huge win for a team that now controls its playoff destiny.
4. Hero: Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson brought the Seattle Seahawks back to a victory over the Chicago Bears, on the road, down late in the 4th quarter. The he won it in overtime against one of the best defenses in the NFL. That makes him a hero.
3. Hero: Tony Romo
Tony Romo's near flawless performance against the Eagles this week lands him on the hero list. He was a perfect 10-10 in the second half, which included 2 touchdowns. His QB rating was a smooth 150.5 and he led the Cowboys to an important win to keep them in the playoff race.
2. Hero: Adrian Peterson
Adrian Peterson is an absolute freak! This guy does it week in and week out, he puts the Minnesota Vikings on his shoulders and carries the team. He'd take the top spot if the Vikes had pulled out a win but 210 yards rushing puts him at number 2. He's on pace to break 2,000 yards rushing. And all this after having his knee torn in late December last year. Impressive!
1. Hero: Greg Zuerlein
It's hard to put a kicker in the top spot but Greg Zuerlein did nail two huge field goals to give the Rams a big win over the 49ers. And neither of them were chip shots, he made the tying kick from 53-yards out and the winning field goal from 54-yards.Zuerlein tied and won the game for his team, that makes him hero number 1!
Bears Would Lose Nothing By Trading Forte
The Chicago Bears have made it clear that anybody is up for grabs via trade; Matt Forte could be next. Read More
