How are those limelight hedges looking? (pic)
I know a lot of us were planting limelight hedges this spring.... They are starting to bloom--how 'bout some pictures! Here is mine---the flowers are so pretty...can't wait for this to get higher and wider in the years to come. To compare planting notes, I planted mine about 3.5 ft. out from the house and 3.5 feet apart (per landscaper Deborah Silver's instructions--she has a wonderful blog online and does a lot with limelights.) There are 8 planted.
From this angle it looks like they are touching...they aren't quite, but they are filling in much faster than I thought they would.
Keep in mind this is what your 3.5' spaced shrubs are going to turn into: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNP6CpY4Dzo
I know everybody here's going crazy over how Deborah does hers, but I would really worry about the long term health of plants spaced that closely. Will post a pic of my 15 in the next coming weeks, as they open up.
Unprofessional, I know you have a different position on how to space them, but I asked several landscapers/nursery owners before I planted and they all assured me that that was a fine distance. The only benefit to spacing them further is cost...which is of course a good enough reason in and of itself. That does not mean though that it is the right or only way....it is simply a matter of how long you,re willing to wait.
Looks beautiful! I'm working on a hedge too, but I'm mixing Pinky Winky and Limelight and Vanilla Strawberry. I hope it's not too tacky having the different colors together.
These are such tough plants. I'm sure being close together will be fine. You could always prune them back a little each Spring to keep them from being too crowded.
Hi Joanne!
Glad to see you finally got your limelights! I'll try to take some pictures of the ones I planted in April and post those. After the April batch, I got carried away and planted more in early May and late May, finally ending up with 75 Limelights along a 300 foot perimeter fence around my property! But the early and late May batches aren't doing as well as the April ones, which were bigger plants to begin with...
I ended up planting all of them at 4' b/c all my fence panels are 8' wide and 4' was an easier distance for me to calculate in the landscape. :-)
Hey, did any of the Limelights you planted have any yellowing (even banana yellow) of the lower inner leaves? My local nursery told me that it's most likely a transplant shock thing, but wanted to know if you'd experienced any. It's not obvious from a distance, and I think the plants are getting over it, but it did occur in about 15% of my plants.
Thanks for reviving this topic!
Wow---75! Please post pictures! That will be just a beautiful sight to see in bloom once they take off. About the yellowing, yes I did experience it, as did many people on the forum (you might be able to find the thread) Someone mentioned the weather this year being an issue.... For me I noticed them start when I had cut back on the watering (They were growing so nicely I stopped babying them I guess.) I went back to watering them really deeply every 3-5 days and the yellowing almost disappeared. Now, at the same time I also treated them for fungus because some of the yellowed leaves had brown spots (my nursery said the moisture we had early in the season contributed.) So I'm not sure which actually solved the problem--- but my guess is that it was a bit of both. If your plants are getting over it---and if your weather was anything like ours (really wet April/May, dry and hot July), my bet is that is was the fungus and now that the weather has dried out, the problem solved itself on it's own.
Joannemb, what a lovely sight! Give it a couple years and you will have a dense and tall hedge!!! Now, you will be very busy pruning in the spring..... :-)
Nearest were purchased on clearance in one gallons. Furthest are from a wonderful local nursery as overwintered plants in three gallons. Approximately 6' spacing, and the tips of furthest are around a foot and a half apart right now; I expect they'll come together within the next two years, and then mature within one another.
How can anyone NOT love those Limelights!!? I have quite a
few large ones scattered around in my garden and I'm about
ready to go on the prowl for more after seeing your hedges.
Unprofessional...your blooms are so huge. What do you feed
them? Have you ever propagated any from cuttings? That is
one beautiful show!
All I do is two scoops of Osmocote per plant in the spring, and then a layer of mulch spring and fall - my soil is pretty terrible hard clay. I've rooted accidental cuttings from weeding (just shove them in a pot with a quick draining mix, water, put in a plastic bag, and wait a month or so), and then generally give them away to less fortunate family members. I don't intentionally prune, but like you said, panicles are still a wonderful size.
I am so impressed with all your pictures ... I think I want to plant a Limelight or two now! What are your recommendations for sun exposure? Most of my backyard gets sun most of the day, so I was wondering how much sun they could tolerate. Thanks for your help!
Early fall's probably the best time to plant anything, in my opinion. Be aware that Limelights tend to show shock when going in the ground; as long as they make it to the winter, they'll be fine.
Haven't seen any in the box stores this year, but it may vary by location. I would think right now would be their prime selling time.
Hi Everyone,
Some flowers on several of my Limelights are turning brown. I thought that Limelight flowers open green, turn white in summer, then pink in the fall, before drying up and turning brown in the late fall/winter. Is the premature browning in my flowers a sign of some kind of stress? Lack of water? Is it typical for hydrangea flowers to turn brown early during their first year in the ground?
I'm trying to post pictures of my hedge, and the brown flowers, but it seems to require a URL and I don't have a place to upload the pictures to on the web. Is there another way?
Also, do the leaves on your flower stalks fold downwards against the stalk? None of the stems or flower stalks look droopy at the tips, but most of the leaves on the flower stalks fold downwards rather than stand up horizontally. Is this normal?
Drooping leaves are a sign of drought - same with the premature panicle browning. Limelights have a hard time during that first year in the ground (mine did, too); you'll find lots of records of it on this forum. Keep them watered, and as long as they make it to the winter, they'll be fine. I've only had to water mine twice, this second year, where last year I was out nearly every other day.
Hi Unprofessional,
Thanks so much for responding! I'm glad to finally find an explanation for the browning panicles. It's been worrying me. Normally, when are Limelight panicles supposed to turn brown? Is it at first frost? Also, do Limelight panicles turn pink first?
I tested the soil under the limelights with the browning panicles, and the soil is not dry (to a depth of 3 inches). Is it just that the immature plant roots can't deliver enough water to the flower heads even though the soil has moisture in it?
Regarding the downward folded leaves--I'm still wondering if that's just the way it is. The video of that giant Limelight on Youtube also has downward folded leaves along its flower-bearing stems. The leaves point downward, like an insect's wing. That's how my leaves are looking. They started out erect when the flower heads were still green, but as the blooms whitened, they started folding downward. Droopy stems are a sign of drought, but are downward folded leaves on flower stems just the way it is? Help me understand.
Thanks for sharing your expertise! This has been a year of worrying over my Limelights. First the banana yellow leaves. Now the browning panicles. Ai ya ya! Hopefully, next year will be better...I really don't want to think that it was a mistake to plant 75 of these.
Here is a link that might be useful: Youtube Video on Giant Limelight
We inherited a Limelight with the purchase of our home 4 years ago. The previous owners planted it so I would put it at about 6 years old right now. It is ENORMOUS. Insanely so. I would say it is about 10 feet wide and 8 feet tall.
Our neighbors had some landscaping done 2 years ago and the landscaper put 2 limelights in front of their front door. I said to my Husband "those are too big for an entrance" and two years later, they are already huge. In another year or two they won't be able to get in their front door.
Another year has passed...would love to see some updated pictures...especially from your hedge Unprofessional!
I just planted my 5 2-gallon plants this spring. Already impressed with the growth in half a season. Was going to go with the 6ft spacing but due to the space I was going to fill it was either close to 7 foot spacing or 5 foot spacing so went with the 5. Can't wait to see it in bloom in another two years.
Hard to believe it's been five years since I planted these, mostly as one gallons. Biggest ones are over 6' now. Very few places have any space between bushes, and they're getting big enough that they're choking out the thistles that have always plagued this spot.
Even my kid approves!
joannemb, I couldn't get your link to work... :-(. I was looking forward to seeing your photos.
unprofessional, It was SO COOL and helpful to see the progression of your limelights as they grew. Thank you for sharing. I am just about to plant my first few limelights, and I'm trying to figure out a cost effective way to plant them... So seeing the progression of your limelights planted 6 feet apart has given me a clear idea about how far I should plant them.
Here's my QUESTION for all of you Limelight growers:
How close to a house wall can I plant them. I live in Semi-Coastal Southern California, where yard space is a premium... So all of the areas where I would like to grow them are all along the perimeter of the house where they would be planted about 1.5 feet from the house. Is this too close to the house wall? Or do I need to create a larger flower bed? What would be the minimum amount of space away from a wall you would recommend planting them???

Wow, thank you so much for the updates on the gorgeous hedge you planted! I put in a semicircular hedge in at the bottom of a steep slope that was planted with forsythias. My Limelights are only about 2" tall now, but it's so reassuring to see what a few years and a little patience will bring. Thanks again.
OMGoodnes!! I love to see this and see how beautiful they get!!! I'm also a tad bit jealous because I literally planted a little lime last year that has not even bloomed this year :( it's not dead so I'll keep hoping and praying mine will eventually bloom and semi look like this. :)
Would anyone be willing to post a picture of their hydrangea hedge in the winter? I am trying to visualize the bare stems on a large scale.

Galmer was an American racecar manufacturer that built cars used from 1992 through 1993 in CART competition and the Indianapolis 500. The cars were commissioned by the Galles Racing team. Although they were an American-based effort, spearheaded by Alan Mertens (galmerinc.com), the cars were actually assembled at the Galmer Engineering shop in Bicester, England.
The Galmer chassis program came at a time in the CART series when interest in in-house chassis development was at its peak. It followed in the footsteps of Penske and Truesports, who also had similar programs.
The name "Galmer" is a portmanteau of the surnames of Rick Galles and Alan Mertens.
Its most notable accomplishment was Al Unser Jr.'s win in the 1992 Indianapolis 500 in the closest finish in race history. One other CART race was won with the chassis by Danny Sullivan in 1992. In 1993 the car was used on a part-time basis by Dominic Dobson. Proving uncompetitive, the car was retired never to be raced in CART competition again. Only those three men ever raced a Galmer in CART competition, yet it won two races, making it one of the most successful chassis on a per-race basis.
Though it was not openly revealed at the time, the decision for Galles Racing to shelf the Galmer project was made on the morning of the 1992 Indianapolis 500.[1] The same race that Unser, Jr. went on to win.
The Galmer chassis had one unique characteristic compared to its chassis counterparts in the CART series in 1992. It was standard for all cars to mount their scoring transponder in the left side pod of the car. The Galmer chassis, however, did not have room in that location. The cars of Unser, Jr. and Sullivan instead had the transponders placed in the nosecone of the car.
Due to the proximity of the transponder, Unser, Jr.'s official race-winning margin of 0.043 seconds over Scott Goodyear in the 1992 Indianapolis 500 was deemed inconclusive. After further consideration, USAC officials calculated the true margin of victory to be narrower, at 0.0331 seconds. The official margin, however, would remain in the record book.[2]
After the 1992 season was over, Valvoline purchased the race-winning Galmer chassis driven by Unser, Jr. On frequent occasions, it is used for display at various engagements.

SECRETARY CHU'S senate testimony is predicated upon two false assumptions: that the "threat" from "climate change" is "grave"; and that, even if it were grave, reducing carbon emissions would make a difference. He cites the now-outdated 2007 Climate Assessment Report of the IPCC and a subsequent but also now-outdated MIT study, saying global warming by 2100 would be 7-11 Fº. These excessive estimates are founded solely on computerized guesswork.

This is what I took away from The Tracey Fragments, this is everything I have.

Audio was ripped off The Tracey Fragments.
I was watching The Tracey Fragments one night, and all I could think of was how she was me if I plunged a little more to the left than the different sadness I found myself floating in. I see so many types of people, and they're all people I could have been. I watched one die in front of my eyes, and I will love her forever even though she let me go and fell to a final death.
I was watching Ellen Page be amazing one night, so I made this film to speak for all of the versions I could have been.

Proposed Pre-K Cuts Challenged
Parents and teachers assailed cuts being proposed cuts to the Georgia's pre-kindergarten program. At a legislative hearing on Friday, some pre-k teachers said they would no longer be able to make ends meet if the program is cut from 6 1/12 hours a day to four. Others said cutting the instruction time would hurt the quality of the education being offered to 4-year-olds.

This is a hotel, not a hostel. The man on check in of an evening is nice and friendly but the woman who monitors check in of a morning is quite ... below par. My room had two double beds on level 2 and was neat and tidy and clean enough, although the hotel overall (and my room included) are generally run down and quite old - some updates to the decor would give this hotel a great pickup. Nice and close to the Greyhound station which I liked.

My room was disgusting - there were dead cockroaches in the room when I arrived, the air con wouldn't work, and the blanket on my bed was ripped and had several cigarette burns in it. Disgusting.

This Travelodge is beside the now defunct Highland Mall. If you don't have a car, getting around may be difficult. The rooms themselves are fine: in good shape and comfortable. For the price, you'll have a hard time beating this.

It was the worst experience for me here in the States, not only the hotel was full of cokroaches everywhere but also the put us in a bedroom of 2 when we were 4... and I asked for more blankets to cover us ans they didn't have and talked to us in a horrible way.

Stayed here with my parents. The staff were friendly. The free breakfast was really good. Its abit far out of town but the bus stop is right out side. Its a motel but was a good price. Very close to the grey hound station which was handy. Over its good but reckon you need a car really.

A precipitation process for the preparation of blood plasma constituents is disclosed, wherein the plasma to be fractionated and the precipitant are circulated in a closed system.
1. A process for the preparation of a plasma constituent which comprises separately and continuously feeding plasma, precipitant and buffer to a circulating pump for admixture in a zone of high turbulence and introduction to a loop reactor comprising said pump, a stirring vessel, a conduit extending from an outlet of the vessel to the pump, and a recirculating conduit extending from the pump to an inlet of the vessel for circulating the mixture to and from said vessel, and continuously withdrawing a portion of the reaction mixture from the loop reactor for separation of a precipitated plasma protein.
2. The process defined in claim 1 in which the reaction mixture is withdrawn from the loop reactor as it passes from the stirring vessel to the pump.
3. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction mixture withdrawn from the loop reactor flows through a dwell zone prior to the separation of a precipitated plasma protein.
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of plasma fractions by precipitation.
Albumins and globulins are being used in human and veterinary medicine for some application purposes. These proteins are obtained from human or animal plasma by fractional precipitation. The precipitation process has been carried out hitherto in the following manner: The plasma was placed initially batchwise into the reaction vessel and the precipitant was metered in slowly thus causing the individual fractions to precipitate. The disadvantages of this discontinuous process reside in the fact that it is very time-consuming because of the long dwell times required and that it yields only difficulty separable precipitates.
It was therefore a task to provide a fractionation process which should yield easily separable precipitates within an acceptable period of time.
It has now been found that this task can be solved when circulating the plasma to be fractionated, the precipitant and the buffer in a closed system.
Subject of the present invention, consequently, is a process for the preparation of plasma fractions by mixing plasma with a precipitant, at a constant temperature and in the presence of a buffer, followed by separation of the precipitated plasma protein, which comprises circulating the mixture consisting of plasma, precipitant, buffer and precipitated protein, in a loop reactor consisting of a closed tube circuit connected with a circulating pump.
The particular features of this process reside in the fact that the mixture consisting of plasma, precipitant, buffer and precipitated protein is circulated in a loop reactor consisting of a stirring tank, the outlet of which is connected with the inlet of a circulating pump and the inlet of which is connected with the outlet of this circulating pump, that the plasma, the precipitant and the buffer are conveyed to the system separately in a zone of high turbulence and that a quantity of reaction mixture corresponding to the total quantity of plasma, precipitant and buffer metered in is withdrawn continuously from the system via a branch pipe located between the outlet of the stirred tank and the inlet of the pump.
The process according to the invention is carried out in a "loop-type" reactor. This loop reactor consists of a stirring tank and pipings forming a closed circular system, a circulating pump being connected with this system.
A further feature of this process is that the reaction mixture withdrawn from the loop reactor flows through a dwell zone prior to the separation of the precipitated protein.
The stirring tank corresponds to those commonly used. It is provided with means for measuring and controlling the temperature and the pH of the precipitant, for heating or cooling, respectively, the contents of the tank and for stirring up the contents of the tank. Heating or cooling may be done by a double jacket or by exterior or interior tube coils and the like. The contents of the tank are stirred up by agitator means driven by a motor, by introducing an inert gas or by means of the impulse of the precipitant added. The inlet and the outlet for the medium kept circulating may be arranged at any point, preferably, however, the outlet is located at the bottom of the tank and the inlet pipe entering into the tank at the head ends below the liquid level. The outlet of the tank connected with the inlet of a circulating pump and the outlet of this pump is connected with the inlet of the tank. A branch pipe is located between the outlet of the tank and the inlet pipe of the pump. This branch pipe may be shut off by means of a valve. It leads to separating means, for example a filter or a centrifuge. A zone of particular high turbulence, for example, at the pump inlet, is moreover created by the admission pipes for the medium to be fractionated, the precipitant and the buffer, these pipes passing over the metering pumps. As circulating pump there is used a pump with high output, preferably a glandless centrifugal pump, whereas suitable metering pumps are hose pumps, gear pumps, reciprocating pumps or diaphragm pumps.
Depending on the size of the apparatus, the pipes and pumps, too, are maintained at a certain temperature, by a double jacket, or by heating and cooling coils and the like or the whole loop reactor, including the metering pumps, is placed in a room kept at a certain temperature.
Suitable materials for this system are glass, enamel, noncorrosive plastic or metal, for example stainless steel. The material chosen depends in the first place on the size of the system. Small apparatuses may be made completely of metal, glass or enamel.
The size of the stirred tank depends on the quantities of matter to be converted and is in the range of from 0.5 to 100 liters, preferably of from 0.5 to 10 liters. The dimensions of the other parts of the system are adapted in each case to the size of the stirred tank.
The invention will be illustrated, by way of example, in the accompanying drawing representing a flow scheme of the process of the invention, in the description referred to the drawing and in the Examples describing the test procedure.
The preferred design of an apparatus to be used according to the invention can be seen from the drawing. The stirring tank (1) provided with agitator means (2) is connected with the circulating pump (4) via conduit (3). Conduit (5) extending from pump (4) returns to the stirring tank (1). Conduit (6) branching off conduit (3) leads to separating means (not shown in the FIGURE) by passing over dwell zone (6a). Conduit (6) may be sut off by valve (7). The metering pumps (8), (10) and (12) are moreover connected with the inlet of pump (4) by conduits (9), (11) and (13). The stirring tank is kept at a certain temperature by means of a double jacket (14). The whole apparatus may alternatively be placed in a room maintained at a certain temperature, which is indicated by the dotted line (15).
The process according to the invention is used preferably for the fractionation of human or animal plasma or plasma fractions, respectively, but it may also be used for the fractionation of other protein matter.
The precipitant chosen has to be adapted to the material to be precipitated, (NH4)2 SO4 solution, alcohol such as ethanol or a polyether alcohol, for example polyethylene glycol, being used preferably for human or animal plasma. The quantity of the precipitant, too, depends on the nature and on the quantity of the protein fractions to be precipitated and may be determined by a preliminary test.
An acid or an alkaline liquor or a commercial buffer, respectively, is used for maintaining the optimal pH for the precipitation process.
The mixture consisting of the medium to be fractionated, the precipitant, the buffer and the precipitated protein is withdrawn from the stirred tank by means of the circulating pump and recycled thereto at another point. Part of this mixture is continuously withdrawn from the stirred tank through the branch pipe and is passed to the separating means, where the precipitated protein is separated from the mixture. The corresponding total quantity of the medium to be fractionated, of precipitant and buffer is simultaneously conveyed to the system by means of the metering pumps so that the material balance in the system is substantially in equilibrium. The individual components may be metered in continuously or at intervals, it being important that possible fluctuations of the concentration in the whole loop reactor be within the acceptable limits for the protein fraction to be precipitated.
The process according to the invention yields protein flocks that can be easily separated. When there is used a centrifuge for the separation process, the recipient may be emptied continuously, since the centrifugal forces required for separating the protein flocks are very little. The output in the apparratus according to the invention may be increased to a multiple of that reached in the known precipitation processes, owing to the fact that the residence time in the loop reactor is short. It has moreover been shown that the process of the invention does not involve an increased danger of a bacterial invasion which would have to be expected in the case of fairly long operation times.
The stirring tank (1) according to the accompanying drawing is made of glass, has a volume of 1.5 liters, is doublewalled and is kept at a temperature of -2� C. Conduits (3) and (5) consist of insulated glass double-pipes. The contents of the stirring tank (1) and of the conduits (3) and (5) are made circulate by the glandless centrifugal pump (4) at a rate of 200 liters/h. The hose pumps (8), (10) and (12) convey to the system 800 ml/h of a human plasma, 93 ml/h of ethanol, and a commercial buffer (pH 4.8) in a quantity such that a pH of 7.4 is reached in the system. 900 ml/h of reaction liquid are withdrawn continuously from the system through valve (7) and subsequently submitted to centrifugation, whereby there are separated about 10 g/h of an enriched fibrinogen fraction.
The apparatus used is analogous to that of Example 1, except that the vessel has a volume of 3.0 liters. 800 ml/h of human plasma, 280 ml/h of ethanol and buffer solution are conveyed to this apparatus at a temperature of -6� C. at pH 7.6, while 1,000 ml/h of reaction liquid are withdrawn. There are obtained about 50 g/h of an enriched immunoglobulin fraction.

THOMASVILLE — The new Bishop Hall Charter School, 220 N. Pine Tree Blvd., recently observed a dedication ceremony.
Bishop Hall Charter School is part of the Thomas County School System. From August 1999, until December of 2014, Bishop Hall was at 1819 E. Clay St.
The new year brought many new things to students enrolled at Bishop Hall Charter School, namely a new school building on North Pinetree Boulevard.
Students arrived at the new school location Tuesday morning to have breakfast for the first time in the school's new cafeteria. Students then moved to the recently renovated gymnasium next door for a brief assembly program before going out in front of the new building for the ceremonial raising of the first flags to fly over the new school.
THOMASVILLE — Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal awarded Bishop Hall Charter School a grant of $958,000 to implement a "blended learning" model for high-risk students.
The Thomas County School System was one of three systems in the state to receive the highly competitive technology implementation grant. Other grant recipients were Gwinnett County Public Schools and Fulton County Schools.
THOMASVILLE — Two bright-eyed, energetic, articulate students are not only excited about their new school, but what the institution has meant to their personal and academic development.
Aliya Larkins, a 12th grader at Bishop Hall Charter School, has done a complete about-face. "When I came here, I was the shy girl. ... I just blossomed," explained Larkins, 18, who is anything buy shy today.

| TheWonderfulShoe chapter 1 . 5/15/2012
Too cute! :P
| 2-shadows chapter 1 . 4/25/2012
Normally I don't do the whole "misspelling on purpose" thing, but it was too cute for just one u or just one t, and after those being drawn out, one e would look weird... *oh, hey, look, shadows is rambling again!*
But this was totally adorable, just like all your stories. And, if you don't mind me saying, I think your grasp and control of the writing is better than it was in your earlier stories.

*persistent mental image of BB and Raven as Timmy Melvin and Teether's adoptive parents*
| AnimalKrazed chapter 1 . 1/20/2012
I really like the story. I think the irony in the end is kinda corny funny, but I like it. It gives the story a unique feel.
| nikkideephantom chapter 1 . 12/7/2011
too cute:) i loved itt especially the ending! such a beastboy line
| AWESOMESAUCE chapter 1 . 11/27/2011
I think that 'Mr. Brightside' is perfect for this fic :)
| Butterfree chapter 1 . 7/21/2011
Haha, Beastboy was so outrageously in character I thought you were an official script writer for a second.
Very nice theme going on with the Wednesday thing. Although you left the actual romance between them hanging, the story felt strangely and perfectly complete. It takes a lot of skill to achieve that sort of thing when most people read it looking for Raven/Beastboy to officially happen.
Overall Rating: 10 / 10
Thanks for the read and good luck with any future writing!

And I don't mean california boy 'stand in the mirror longer than I do', but at least clean clothes, and hair and teeth, etc.
Women are insanely attracted to men with no career or ambition and treat them like crap.

And they better not smell like an ash tray.
And I got over bad boys in HS.
Now they need to have a steady job, and kind, I don't care if it is a 10 dollar an hour job, or a career, they just need to have one, and not be into Nintendo, etc.

Which PeopleTools version goes with which Application?
If you're ever in the situation where you're wondering what your options are with PeopleTools versions, and which applications they can be used with, then we have just the document for you.
It shows you:
– the Applications, their release dates, and – more critically – the dates that Premier and Extended Support ends
– the PeopleTools versions, and the date that support ends (yes, 8.52 is now out of support)
– the combinations of the two, for instance, can you go to Tools 8.53 with a v8.9 application? do we believe that PeopleTools 8.55 will support v9.1 applications?
– what this means for Fluid. For example, if you're on v9.1 but upgrade to PeopleTools 8.54, what Fluid functionality do you receive?
Check out the White Paper here:
I'm William Reynolds and this is How I Work
William joined PeopleSoft in November of 1995 as a developer in the Inventory product. Since then he has worked in various roles within the FSCM pillar eventually landing in the Enterprise Architecture group where he straddles the world between PeopleTools and Applications. He currently works with other Architects in each of the pillars on various projects like security, accessibility and PUM.
Name: William Reynolds
Occupation: Senior Application Architect, Enterprise Architecture
Location: Home office, Chicago, IL
Current computer: ThinkPad W520 & T430
Current mobile devices: iPhone 6
What apps/software/tools can't you live without?
Probably the two pieces of software I'd be lost without are LastPass and Xmarks. Keeping track of hundreds of bookmarks along with hundreds of passwords between work and home would be nearly impossible without them. Lately I've also been leaning heavily on Notepad++ for various projects.
Besides your phone and computer, what gadget can't you live without?
When I'm not on my laptop I usually have my iPad handy for email, calendar and web access.
What's your workspace like?
I'd like to say it's a clean, modern, calm fortress of solitude but I work from home and have three kids under the age of 12 so its state of clutter really depends on the week. I built a treadmill desk a couple years ago but these days it's more of a standing desk. Every week you read a new article about sitting versus standing so I try to stand as much as I can during the dozen or so conference calls throughout the week. Walking while working takes some getting used to. Email is pretty easy to get through while in motion but for something like SQL or coding I find I have to be at least standing still if not sitting to really concentrate.
What do you listen to while you work?
My tastes run the gambit and usually it depends on what task I'm doing. For things that require some heads down concentration it's either Brubeck or Sinatra. If I'm cranking through email or pulling together a slide deck then it's something more peppy like top 40.
What PeopleSoft-related productivity apps do you use?
It really just depends on what project I'm working on at the moment. I prefer Firefox as my browser at work, Notepad++ for text work, and SQL Developer.
What SQL/Code do you find yourself writing most often?
Lately SELECT * FROM PSPROJECTITEM;
What would be the one item you'd add to PeopleSoft if you could?
At the moment, my ideal change would be to get rid the Windows dependency in all our client tools.
What everyday thing are you better at than anyone else?
I would say I have a knack for looking at the big picture and being able to put myself in a customer's shoes.
What's the best advice you've ever received?
Not sure where it came from but "don't build a Cadillac when what you need is a Honda."
Cedar's Oracle Cloud and PeopleSoft Day
Cedar held it's annual Oracle Cloud and PeopleSoft Day in London on Friday, with almost a hundred people in attendance (about 80 customers, plus staff from Oracle and Cedar).
It was a great success, with a really positive vibe – customers are looking to do great things with both PeopleSoft and Oracle's Cloud suite – and a privilege to be part of.
Here are some photos from the day:Graham welcomes everyone
Marc Weintraub gave a great keynote (from his office at 2:30am!)
Liz and I discuss the practical applications of the PeopleSoft Roadmap
Mike takes us through the upcoming Oracle Cloud Release 10 features
Jo talks about 'Taleo for PeopleSoft People'
Simon handles the prize draw
So, a fun event with lots of knowledge sharing. My absolute favourite part is being able to connect customers who can help each other though. I lost count of the number of times we were able to say "oh, you're doing <some project> are you? In that case, let me introduce you to <another client> as they've just finished doing that very thing" and then being able to leave them to share their experiences.
I'm Alex Lightstone and this is how I work
First up in the 'How I work' series for 2015 is Alex Lightstone. For those in the UK PeopleSoft marketplace Alex should need no introduction, for everyone else though here's a brief bio:
Alex spent the 2000's at Oracle, initially supporting, and then as Product Support Manager for PeopleSoft Global Payroll. When he left Oracle in 2010 there was a battle for his services and we're very grateful that he selected Cedar where he forms part of our 'trinity of UK-based GP gurus' – alongside Bill and Gary. Alex can be frequently found sharing his knowledge at Cedar events, and UKOUG conferences and SIGS. His skills aren't confined to GP however, and he's already fixed a few bits of code that I've left half-completed (including the Field Watermarks).
Name: Alex Lightstone
Occupation: Lead Consultant at Cedar Consulting
Location: When not on client site, either home or the Cedar Office (Kings Cross, London)
Current computer: Dell Latitude E6430
Current mobile devices: HTC One (M7), Alcatel 4G USB Dongle
I work: best when I understand exactly what everyone else is doing so I can see the whole picture
What apps/software/tools can't you live without?
As long as I have an internet connection I'm happy. I regularly change my browser but am reliant on Microsoft Office applications (yes, even Outlook). I've recently discovered Microsoft One Note and now wonder how I ever managed without it. Of course, App Designer, Data Mover and SQL Developer are a big part of my day to day work, as are Citrix, Remote Desktop and various flavours of VPN software when working remotely as needed to connect to client sites. Smartphones are useful but when space and battery power permit I'd rather be hooked up to my laptop with my 4G mobile broadband. Notepad and Paint are useful pieces of software in my opinion – I know there are alternatives but I like to keep it simple. And last but not least … Spotify.
Besides your phone and computer, what gadget can't you live without?
Sat Nav is an absolute but is included with most smartphones these days. I'm happy with my phone and laptop. A smart-watch would be nice but I haven't bought one yet.
What's your workspace like?
They say "small is beautiful", which is just as well in my case. Since the birth of my second child, my workspace has been relegated to a corner of my bedroom.
What do you listen to while you work?
I have somewhat eclectic tastes when it comes to music. I often listen to music via Google Music or Spotify. Anything goes … rock, classical, dance – it's all on my playlists.
What PeopleSoft-related productivity apps do you use?
I use App Designer, SQL Developer and Notepad (for SQR and COBOL). I occasionally use Firebug or the Chrome Developer Tools to resolve HTML issues. PeopleBooks are useful for reference.
Do you have a 2-line tip that some others might not know?
Global Payroll is just a programming language where you don't write code. Approach it as a programmer and it will make a lot more sense.
What SQL/Code do you find yourself writing most often?
Working in the world of payroll, I spend a lot of time querying the payroll results tables (GP_RSLT_XXXX).
SELECT PIN_NUM FROM PS_GP_PIN WHERE PIN_NM=<Element Name> is SQL that I use a lot.
What would be the one item you'd add to PeopleSoft if you could?
Better error handling – there are too many generic error messages where your only option is to delve into the code to determine the reason for the error.
What everyday thing are you better at than anyone else?
Teaching myself – it's how I learnt most of what I know.
What's the best advice you've ever received?
"The PeopleSoft world is a small place, don't upset people, you will have to work with them again" – Anonymous
Adding Watermarks to PeopleSoft fields
The Cedar tech team has recently discovered a great tweak to improve the end-user experience in PeopleSoft.
Many well designed websites use Watermark text to provide a visual hint to the user what they should put into a field. We felt that PS Self Service users would appreciate the enhancement.
Head over to the Cedar Blog to find out more:
The Year 2014 in Review
Once each year completes I try to do a run down of which posts have garnered the most attention during the last 12 months, both on this blog and on the PeopleSoft Weekly newsletter. Here are the most viewed stories from 2014.PeopleSoft Weekly Newsletter
During 2014 the subscriber base grew from 602 to 914 (a net increase of just over 300), and this was despite being asked to remove over 50 subscribers when I left my previous employer. The open rate (i.e. the amount of people that view each email) continues to cover around the 45-50% mark – against an industry average of 17%.
There were nearly 800 links in the newsletters over the year. Here are the 30 that received the most clicks:
- Tools to increase productivity for PeopleSoft Developers and Users (124 unique visits)
- PeopleSoft 9.3 – A Clarification (120)
- How to know Record/Field names without opening Application Designer (120)
- PeopleSoft 8.53/9.2 Prototyping Tool (118)

- California payroll: Another failure waiting to happen? (76)

One of the most pleasing things about the above list is that there is a wide variety of blogs from many different bloggers and companies featured, which shows that the PeopleSoft eco-system is as active as ever. It is a good thing that too many of the less serious 'and one more thing' links didn't manage to get into the top 30! I'm also rather pleased that all 3 of the 2014 'how i work' posts made the top 30 … it goes to show that people are as important as software.PeopleSoft Tipster Blog
In 2014 this blog had 144,203 views, coming from 80,833 visitors. The most visited posts are all above so I won't repost another list, but to give you an idea of numbers the top one (about PeopleSoft 9.3) got more than 5,000 views in the year and the PeopleSoft Roadshow one more than 3,000.
Most of the visitors came from the US (79,200 views or 63%) followed by India (16%), Canada (6%) and the UK (5%).
I'm keen to do a few more 'How I Work' posts. If there's someone that merits inclusion that hasn't appeared so far please let me know. (My email is in the Get In Contact pane in the top right.)
Two Changes in PeopleTools Requirements
Oracle have just announced two changes to what they require customers to be running on.PeopleTools 8.53 Patch 10 or above for PUM Patches
If you're on PeopleSoft v9.2 and using the Update Images to select the patches to apply then Oracle 'strongly advises' customers to be on the .10 patch of PeopleTools 8.53 or higher.
From Oracle:
FSCM Update Image 9.2.010 and higher, HCM Update Image 9.2.009 and higher, and ELM Update 9.2.006 and higher all need PeopleTools 8.53.10 for many of the updates and fixes to be applied. Failure to update your PeopleTools patch level to PeopleTools 8.53.10 or higher will result in the inability to take these updates and fixes. It may also inhibit you from applying critical maintenance in the future.New PeopleTools Requirements for PeopleSoft Interaction Hub
Oracle also announced that they're changing the support policy for Interaction Hub and PeopleTools. Basically, if you use Interaction Hub you must upgrade to a PeopleTools release no later than 24 months after that PeopleTools release becomes generally available.It was originally a little confusingly worded, but there's now an example that made it clearer for me: For example, PeopleTools 8.53 was released in February 2013. Therefore, customers who use Interaction Hub will be required to upgrade to PeopleTools 8.53 (or newer, such as PeopleTools 8.54) no later than February 2015 (24 months after the General Availability date of PeopleTools 8.53). As of February 2015, product maintenance and new features may require PeopleTools 8.53. I suspect that this is going to impact quite a few of customers. Full details here: https://blogs.oracle.com/peopletools/entry/important_peopletools_requirements_for_peoplesoft
Cloud Outage Audit for 2014
Via Chris Kanaracus we heard of the Cloud Outage Audit for 2014 which compares the reliability figures for all of the major cloud vendors. One of the areas that Cedar specialises in is moving PeopleSoft to the Cloud so we pay particular attention when reports like this are released. It's an interesting read (the full report can be found here) however here are the results:
David Linthicum, SVP Cloud Technology Partners pulls no punches:
Discounting the low-end public clouds, uptime has been much improved, with one major exception. Even though [public cloud providers] are expanding quickly, they seem to be smarter at operating their business, with the possible exception of Microsoft, which has made some dumb mistakes.
The underlying theme seems to be that some of the newer providers are encountering issues as they start to scale which Amazon has already been through (as they had a ~5 year headstart on many of their competitors).
The downtime figures are sourced from CloudHarmony, an independent, third-party company that conducts monitoring of cloud vendor uptime.
The UKOUG Apps14 Conference
Cedar had a strong presence at the recent Apps14 conference in the ACC, Liverpool. It is supposed to be the largest applications conference in Europe with over 800 attendees, and we were particularly interested in the PeopleSoft and Apps Innovation streams.
This year we'd decided not to have a stand (as the conference is mixed with the other applications and the database/tech community, it means the exhibition stands are much more expensive than at the PeopleSoft-only Roadshow earlier in the year, while the attendance of the PeopleSoft community is much lower) but we did support the conference with four of our team and three speaking slots.
It was nice to see a different city, although I'm pleased to see that it's back in Birmingham next year as that is a lot more central for everyone. This is the view from my hotel room out over Albert Docks (the ACC is out to the left).
In terms of our speakers, our GP guru Alex spoke about Global Payroll upgrades to v9.2 (as Cedar has helped several clients either complete their move to v9.2 or with an upgrade in progress at the moment):
Several of us also took part in the Oracle Usability Feedback session. We have <ahem> quite strong opinions on how a UX should be so it was really interesting to be part of the process. We can't talk about the product that was being tested, but it looks really nice. I can't wait until it hits GA. Here's a picture of Simon giving it a thorough test with the lovely Rhonda (the screen has been intentionally blurred):
Cedar's tech guru Neville also spoke on a couple of topics. He covered PeopleSoft Selective Adoption / PeopleSoft Update Manager in one session (joint with Hays, who are using some of our upgraders at the moment on their massive upgrade – HCM, Fins, CRM, Portal, ELM, all at the same time!). He also spoke about Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (joint with Allen & Overy, who we helped to upgrade to 9.2 earlier in the year).
The evening in between the two PeopleSoft days was pretty fun too. It started off with a familiar looking (for Liverpool, especially) band called 'The Cheatles' (pic below) and then many from the PeopleSoft community sat down for 'off the record' chat over a decent meal.
The Hidden Benefit of PeopleSoft Selective Adoption
There has been a lot of talk over the last couple of weeks about PeopleSoft Selective Adoption, the recently-coined term for the PeopleSoft Update Manager delivery model. Much of this has been on the direct benefits to the customer, which is how it should be. Greg Parikh has linked to some of the posts on LinkedIn.
While discussing this with a colleague at the recent Apps14 conference we noticed that there is another implication that I've not seen anyone else call out yet. Although at first glance it seems an immediate advantage to Oracle it's not difficult to see how the customer is also going to reap significant rewards.
Getting everyone onto 9.2, and then delivering innovation on that version means that PeopleSoft development can operate on a single codeline. Currently, a legislative update will have to be coded and applied for all supported releases (and each version might require the update to be different, depending upon the underlying pages), meaning a lot of extra complication and repeat work. A Global Payroll update might need to be created for v9.2, v9.1 and v9.0, for instance, which is a significant burden.
Once updates are only being created on the v9.2 codeline then they only have to be done once, saving development staff time (and support staff a lot of troubleshooting time also) and thereby freeing them up to concentrate much more time on delivering extra value to the customers in the way of faster updates and more innovative new functionality. This can only be a big plus in the long-run.
Cedar's new website is live – get ready for the blog!
I'm really pleased that Cedar have got our new website live – just in time for UKOUG Apps 14. As you would expect it highlights the services that Cedar provides – both Oracle Cloud (Fusion and Taleo) and obviously PeopleSoft implementation, hosting and support. It contains details of our people and locations (we've offices in Kings Cross, London, plus India, Switzerland and Australia). It also contains case studies of some of the project successes that we've had, and some of the nice things that clients have said about us. One of the things I'm most excited about is the blog. Make sure you add it to your feed reader as we're going to be sharing some good content there from all of the practices within our company (plus the occasional post of us doing fun things!).
The new website can be found here: http://www.cedarconsulting.co.uk/

Making a ski movie can be a hard and long mission. Very often you only hear those tales of deep and fluffy snow, incredible tricks and awesome trips to exotic locations. But, just like everything in life, there is always a downside to it. After a successful trip to the Canada, the LOS crew flew back to Europe to the spring that the harsh and disappointing winter has left behind.
Sven Kueenle, Paddy Graham and Tobi Reindl quickly fell victim to season ending knee injuries. While most of the crew was sidelined, it was up the our friends and fellow skiers to turn the wheel around.The likes of Dennis Ehlert, Fabio Studer, Tobi and Lucas Mangold stepped up to the plate and to help out the LOS Crew out in the darkest hour of the season.
The result was better than anybody would have ever thought. It is amazing what you can do with some creativity, hard work and lot's of dedication of the crew. But see for yourself…

Great location and a great place to stay while in Austin.
My wife and I found this great little place while searching reviews on Homeaway. The owner was extremly nice and helpful about the area. The cottage was located behind the owners main house, but was plenty private. On street parking was a plus, as it seems parking is a premium almost everywhere in Austin. The place was vey cute and well apportioned. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our downtime here. It was very close to the South Congress Avenue shops and stores as well as right down the road from the downtown Austin area. The bathroom is located on the second floor loft, which is accessed by a steep stair so this wouldn't be a great place for my parents or anyone who has some difficulty climbing steep steps - but for us, this place was perfect.

thominindy(6)March 7, 2009
I can only hope that re potting these micro minis is less stressful on the plants than it is on me. I'm so afraid that I will hurt my new babies.
Today's question. Why do we not use scissors to trim roots?
I know I ask alot of questions. I can't help it I am an engineer and can be obnoxiously analytical. LOL
A lovely Saturday Thom
Do you mean trim the roots to keep plants miniature like Bonsai growers do or use scissors instead of a knife when repotting? If you mean the latter, I generally trim large rootballs with a knife because it's quick and uniform. However, with smaller shaggy rootballs I've used a small sharp pair of medical scissors (I also use them to cut off faded blooms). The scissors work very well and the plants don't mind at all.
