Buildings have become increasingly susceptible to brownouts, power surges, and rolling blackouts. Addressing power outages has evolved beyond a code requirement to a necessary part of keeping your business and facility operations protected. Learn about backup strategies and systems you can adopt to minimize potential disruptions.
The Eye of the Storm
Severe weather remains the leading cause of outages in the U.S., accounting for 58% of all reported outages observed since 2002, finds the Economic Benefits of Increasing Electric Grid Resilience to Weather Events, a report by the White House Council of Economic Advisers and the DOE's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability. Thunderstorms, hurricanes, and blizzards were responsible for 679 widespread outages in the last decade, 87% of which affected 50,000 or more customers.
These weather events also come with a heavy price tag – upwards of $30 billion in damages annually. And the costs per storm are also rising. Based on DOE data, there have been 144 weather disasters costing $1 billion or more since 1980. Of those, 11 occurred in 2012, which is the second highest cluster behind 2011 for any year on record.
These trends indicate that intense storms are not merely freak occurrences but are possibly becoming the norm. The proof? Seven of the ten costliest weather disasters in American history occurred in the last decade alone (2004-2012).
Take Hurricane Sandy, for example. The superstorm caused a total of 8.5 million individual outages, with over 30% affecting New Jersey. Because a storm on this level has historically been rare, owners were unprepared to handle the extended disaster. Many of the blackouts lasted for days on end, putting commercial buildings at risk of mold growth, improper ventilation, vandalism, and sanitation issues. According to the DOE, the damages related to power failures caused by Sandy are estimated between $14–26 billion.
But your facility doesn't have to experience a weather disaster to suffer from an outage. Irrespective of origin, the average cost of a one-hour blackout is just over $1,000 for a commercial business and jumps up to $4,227 for industrial users, finds the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the report Understanding the Cost of Power Interruptions to U.S. Electricity Consumers.
Whether your workers are stationed on a manufacturing line or tied to computers, very little business can be performed without electricity. Using the same math as the Berkeley researchers, you can quantify outage consequences by focusing on lost productivity and revenue opportunities.
As you calculate damages, make sure to factor in different lengths of outages and, more importantly, the full time required to restore operations. Some systems may need a significant amount of time to start up again after a power failure, notes Matt Effron, senior product line manager with Eaton, a power solution provider. Think of the time HID lighting alone takes to warm up, much less if your servers are rebooting.
"It doesn't have to be an extended outage to cause significant delays," adds Ed Spears, product marketing manager with Eaton. "It could be a four-second outage followed by four and half hours to get IT, computer, or manufacturing systems back online."
Establish Critical Loads
Before you can determine which backup solution is viable, take a frank look at your operations and prioritize which systems are necessary to run during an outage. Critical loads are not a universal formula –
a necessary requirement for one facility may be a nice-to-have option for others.
"Some tenants may only need a phone while others require full power," notes David Cali, vice president of property management with Alfred Sanzari Enterprises, a real estate firm. "Most have adequate protection to meet code requirements for emergency lighting, fire alarms, and elevators, but backup power can also include some additional level of HVAC, security, and expanded lighting."
The use of convergence has also drastically changed the risk associated with an outage. Don't overlook how many systems in your building require an IT connection to run.
"Just like the migration to voice over internet protocol (VoIP), once disparate functions are now running on a single network," says Ray Munkelwitz, director of the Smart UPS line and IT Business Group for Schneider Electric. "Systems such as lighting, HVAC, temperature control, building automation, and security can be just as susceptible to power anomalies as IT equipment."
For example, your fire alarms and sprinklers are required to have backup power according to code, but your other life safety and security systems may not have the same luxury.
During an outage, how important is it that your surveillance cameras are up and running? Does your manufacturer offer battery options for your access control system, particularly if it uses electronic locks and badges?
Life safety precautions may also include ventilation requirements, particularly if you have lab or industrial processes that generate noxious fumes. For additional resiliency considerations for other building systems, review the sidebar.

Considering this is the last arc, I think its progressing to quickly. At any moment the place could get nuked and a final battle could take place. I hope something happens that allows the fight to build up much in the manner of the arrancar arc.

Cute bute but fits WAY too small!
"The sizes are European. I ordered this boot in size 11, and I was sent a 41! 41 is a size 9 in Europe, not size 11. I would need a 43, and that's clearly not what I got. I'm really bummed, it's super cute. But they don't make it in 43. If you have smaller feet, order at least a size up (maybe two) and this should work for you."

CEO Compensation and Board Structure Revisited
Katherine Guthrie
College of William and Mary - Mason School of Business
Jan Sokolowsky

Hong Kong Polytechnic University
September 18, 2010
Journal of Finance, Vol. 67, No. 3, pp. 1149-1168, June 2012
Chhaochharia and Grinstein (JF, 2009) estimate that CEO pay decreases by 17% more in firms that were not compliant with the recent NYSE/NASDAQ board independence requirement than in firms that were compliant. We document that 74% of this magnitude is attributable to two outliers out of 865 sample firms. In addition, we find that the compensation committee independence requirement increases CEO total pay, particularly in the presence of effective shareholder monitoring. Our evidence casts doubt on the effectiveness of independent directors in constraining CEO pay as suggested by the managerial power hypothesis.

This A list celebrity/diva uses box wine poured into empty $25,000 bottles she drinks herself. She makes her guests think they are getting her special stash of wine.
Barbra Streisand
Heart. Broken. Whhhhhy Babs?!ReplyCancel
That's funny. I like it!ReplyCancel
Duplicity! It's what's for dinner! I bet neither she nor her guests could tell the differenceReplyCancel
She doesn't have many friends as it is. I wonder if she tries to give them Manischevitz?ReplyCancel
Most wine experts say most people couldn't tell the difference between a good bottle of wine or a bottle of the $3 swill in WalMart so they suggest when you give a dinner party w wine go cheap.ReplyCancel
I wonder if she tried to pass off Thunderbird?ReplyCancel
U cànt take the.money with u when u die, FFS…
JSierra has put in her order at the corner store for the boxed wines she needs for next Sunday nights drinking gameReplyCancel
But why? I mean, it's funny but it's also really gross if you think about it. She doesn't have to give them $25K wine, but FFS she doesn't have to give them El Cheapo disguised as $25K wine, either. There are choices inbetween the two that are perfectly acceptable.ReplyCancel
Saving money, good for her.ReplyCancel
Like other people have commented, there is some very good boxed wine out there.
And a lot of people really can't tell the difference between a $9 bottle of wine and one that costs over $25.
However, anyone call tell Manishevitz–it's thick, syrupy and sweet. Like really bad grape juice.
I could see someone doing this as a passive-aggressive way of getting back at someone(s) who has hurt her in some way in the past … I doubt she does that routinely with good friends.ReplyCancel
I guess Mecha streisand's guests don't nose out the cheat.ReplyCancel
didnt most guess Fishsticks Paltrw for this ?ReplyCancel
@JSierra, I'd share a box o' wine you any day. I'll bring Laura Jean Poon!ReplyCancel
Ain't that the truff @Ms.Girl!ReplyCancel
@canadachick GOOP probably couldn't resist bragging about it.ReplyCancel
It kind of makes me like her more.ReplyCancel
Babe is an old school cunt. But, she's never going to be broke, or messed with. That, I can always appreciate in a person.
I live on a Winery. I have a recurring ulcer, and haven't been able to drink wine in about 10 yrs. I just give it for gifts. It kinda sucks.
Di, isn't that the seventh circle of hell?ReplyCancel
Yay next Sunday night lotsa drunk postings! !!!ReplyCancel
Wow did not see that coming!ReplyCancel
Going to have to try out the Trader Joe's wine! Thanks MISCH! I always have a hard time finding good, cheap red wine!
@ Jessie. I've had a $2500 dollar bottle of wine before and was not impressed. Like the others were saying, there are good wines out there under $10….it's just a matter of finding them :-/ReplyCancel
I don't see it as saving money since she still buys the wine and drinks it herself. I see it as she is really trying to make people think she thinks they are special and the whole time she is thinking what idiots they are. I had a friend like that. Manipulative and sociopathic.ReplyCancel
Check the results lists of some of the larger US wine competitions, you'll see some boxed wines in there. I was stunned to see the boxed red blend from Target win a silver at the LA County Fair a few years ago, but I tried it and its decent stuff. Been drinking that and their pinot grigio ever since. My husband doesnt drink wine and I was tired of wasting good bottles for one glass of wine with dinner. Forget Franzia, there are some really decent $15 to $25 range boxed wines that are worth a look.ReplyCancel
Di, I can't drink at the moment due to weight loss drug I'm on. We had lunch at the vineyards yesterday. Sigh! The one wine I would always pay top dollar for this aged Semillon from Wavweley Vineyards in the Hunter Valley. Divine. I drank the dozen bottles pretty much on my own over a big period of time. As our vineyards are only 45 minutes away from our house, the enforced sobriety has made me realise I was drinking too much, not getting drunk, but the odd glass here and there really adds up.ReplyCancel
Lol this stuff was old hat. We used to do this with vodka during rush in college.
Have empty bottle of nice stuff like Grey Goose, etc. ($50 per handle) replace with McCormicks Vodka ($10 bucks a handle)
Worst part is that Grey Goose is soo overrated that there really is not than noticeable difference in quality.ReplyCancel
Thanks FS!!ReplyCancel
She isn't the first billionaire to do something similar. A guest at a dinner-party given roughly 20 years ago by the father of actress Victoria Smurfit (About A Boy, The Beach and the recent ITV Dracula) noted that while he was giving them pretty good wine, but not the same as the stuff worth thousands of pounds that he was drinking himself.ReplyCancel
But which is the shocking part?? That she has purchased wine for $25K? or that people would be willing to share a meal with her?ReplyCancel
Old school cunt. That's awesome! You live on a winery and can't drink wine. That is like my worst nightmare. Or, maybe being trapped in a Toys R Us on Black Friday is my worst nightmare. I don't know. It just seems unfair!
I'm kinda stunned by all the, "you go, girl" responses to this. I find it all rather sad. For one, a diva being this cheap kinda puts a knife in the illusion, doesn't it. In addition, this takes cunning. But at the same time, I feel bad for old Babs since she thinks she has to front like that with bazillion dollar bottles of wine. There are fabulous varieties that run from $10 to $100 a pop. Surely, she could afford that. I just don't get it.
With the Grey Goose switcharoo story, I wonder how many high-falutin restaurants do this. It's just interesting.ReplyCancel
I love Trader Joe's but I live closer to Whole Foods. However, good wine at a great prices?!! Many thanks for giving me the motivation to make the trip! LolReplyCancel
@Susan: Just last year there were 20 or 30 bars & restaurants in NJ busted for selling bogus booze. Filling up name brand bottles w/ discount liquor. TGIFridays got socked w/ a 1/2 million dollar fine. HuffPo article
Article says one joint was selling rubbing alcohol and caramel coloring as scotch.ReplyCancel
Franzia, is the bomb!ReplyCancel
Tgif. Got busted months ago for switching out well with top shelf.ReplyCancel
Louis jadot. Beaujolais $9. Cvs the bomb.comReplyCancel
@sandy manischevitz ?!!?? you are killing me with that one LOLReplyCancel
I don't like dry wines at all so have always had a problem finding a red wine that I like.
I am just starting to drinking wines as I have always been either a mixed drink or a bourbon drinker.
I have had some really nice wines at dinner parties and such but have no idea what they were and I also have had some that I never want to see again.
I really like the Barefoot Wine Moscato though and have a bottle of it in my fridge right now. If anyone has any other recommendations I would gladly accept them as I honestly don't know very much about wines.
We don't have a Trader Joe's near here for me to go to for some of the of ones that were mentioned already.
beringers red moscato is far superior to barefoot IMO
Any of the "Moon" wines at TJ's are decent and drinkable, also, their Blue Fin wines if you want to go really cheap and juicy.
Lisa, check out the wines at Target and just take a chance, perhaps? Or even the wines at BigLots (that can be really hit or miss because I think they let their wines get hot sometimes). It takes time to figure out what you like and what you don't, and don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't like, just do your thing. 🙂ReplyCancel
Smart lady! She's still giving her guests nice wine, and thrilling them that is a $25,000 bottle. She saves a wad of cash. Everyone wins! Seriously, just being invited is an honor and a privaledge.ReplyCancel
@Lucas, if you haven't tried Tito's Handmade Vodka you should. Made in Austin, Tx. Guy named Tito started making it for friends and giving away as Christmas gifts. Had cult status and is now mainstream. Very reasonably priced and gluten free.ReplyCancel
Money is relative. If you only have $3000 a month, a $7 wine might be your norm. At $10k a month, $15 to $20 a bottle wine might be your average. At $30K a month you might be. $30 to $150 bottle drinker. If you're worth $100M, $25K for a bottle is like a $10K Per month person splurging on a $250 bottle. It's all relative. Babs is tight. Hell, when I have friends for dinner, they don't typically get my $100 stash either. But at least I don't try to be pretentious and pass off my $100 bottles with Gallo!ReplyCancel
That is brilliant! Go Babs!ReplyCancel

Joyce Anita Green was born Aug. 16, 1931, in Holland, Michigan. She was born into a family consisting of her Swedish immigrant grandparents, Olaf and Alma Soderberg, and her parents Delbert and Anita Soderberg. She died April 22, 2014, in Farmington, N.M.
Joyce met her future husband, John Green while attending Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music and married him upon his graduation from college. During their 58 years of marriage, this strong Christian couple served first doing literacy work with the Navajo in Gallup, N.M., and then as Wycliffe Bible translators to the Ute people in Towaoc, Colo. Joyce worked side-by-side with John as they developed the alphabet for the Utes and began the difficult task of translating the Bible into the Ute language. When John retired from Wycliffe, Joyce worked with the Headstart program at Towaoc for a number of years.
Joyce was a dedicated Christian woman who was very active in their church, the Montezuma Valley Presbyterian church of Cortez, and found much joy in singing with the choir and serving on various boards and committees.
Joyce was a very talented woman who enjoyed painting, ceramics, gardening sewing and cross-stitching over the years. Her children treasure the beautiful pieces of cross stitch she made for them and they will surely be passed on through the generations to come.
Joyce is survived by her daughters Kathy Myers and Kris Walden of Aztec and Karen Murdock of Chandler, Ariz., as well as sons Mark Green and Mike Green of Phoenix and Matthew Green of California.
She is also survived by 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
She also has a sister, Alma Bramer of Guthrie, Okla.
Services will be held Sunday, May 4 at 2 p.m. at the Montezuma Valley Presbyterian Church in Cortez Colo. All who desire to offer condolences to the family and to celebrate the life of Joyce are encouraged to attend.

Boasting an unconventional combination of cushioning, support, and a zero drop platform, the Provision (Men's) and Provisioness (Women's) provide protection while keeping the foot in a natural position.
Stability in a shoe meant to allow natural running? As counterintuitive as that may seem, Altra makes it work with the Provision, making their zero-drop natural running formula available to slight overpronators not yet ready to give up the support in their transition from a more traditional trainer.
Just looking at the flexible support wedge under the sockliner, you wouldn't think it could do much for pronation control. But we found that it provided a surprising level of support, ample for the mild overpronator. The wedge is removable so runners can choose whether or not they want any support in their shoes.
We found the cushioning in the Provision sufficient for daily use, and though a touch firm, not unlike that of many traditional trainers we've tried. True to its zero-drop design, the Provision did promote a forefoot strike – reduced material under the heel means you wouldn't want to heel strike for very long in the shoe.
Though the last is meant to mimic the shape of the foot, our testers felt the shoe was simply too wide in both the forefoot and heel, despite cranking down on the laces. With the relative snugness of most other zero-drop options, however, a runner with a wider or higher volume foot looking to try such a shoe may feel more at home in the Provision.
The stability wedge in the Provisions may not seem like much, but the amount of support it added was definitely noticeable, and more than I expected.
Overall, I like the zero drop with a bit of cushion approach. There's too much room in the forefoot for me - the extra material up there leaves me scratching my head, but doesn't really get in the way when I'm running.
Plenty of cushioning, not usually found on a zero-drop shoe, makes this very runnable and an easier transition from a traditional trainer.

I am the KING of the bleachtards *period*
no one can tell me otherwise
anyone can challenge me
thats just one more NOOB i'd be glad to PWN
@HaganeHonestly, Hitsugaya couldn't rly beat Ulq if he tried. He may be good, but I'm sure Ulq could shave the ice off that little wuss any day. 'Sides, he only got a win on Harribel by the skin of his teeth. Nnoitra, on the other hand...That would've been a cool fight to see.
That is the dumbest logic ever. If I were to use your logic then I'd say: Ichigo barely beat #6 Grimmjow, but Kenpachi beat #5 Nnoitra in one shot, honesly using past battles to measure ones strength in Bleach is so hard, everything is so inconsistent. The best we can do is to use the most previous battles for reference. And Ichigo didn't beat Kenpachi, it wasn't even a draw. He fell to his feet, Kenpachi only said he won.

i dont think that anyone would win against zaraki in this manga if kubo put him against someone , except ichigo of course , its just the zaraki style man xD
I agree with wat ur gettin at. He acts like he is immortal which in fact he is not, especially with his style of fighting. U would think that if he was 2 fight intelligently like ByaKuya as iBankai as mentioned, he would be un-stoppable. Unfortunately he thinks more with over-powering his opponent then to strategically take them down.iBankai:
Agreed. If Kenpachi fought with more regard for his life he'd win. I think if Kenpachi used two hands from the start and implemented Shunpo, he would beat Ulqi. People say that Kenpahi isn't fast, but he really is. If Kenpachi were to fight like ByaKuya, with some finesse and self regard, he would win.
If ulquiorra had attacked yachiru at first (thus prompting kenpachi to fight serious from the get go) then it wouldnt be much of a fight > kenpachi wins.
If they just started fighting like under normal circumstances then kenpachi would lose because he'd let himself take too many hits, by the time he wised up to really fight to kill he'd be 3/4 dead with ulquiorra released. > ulquiorra wins
So chances are ulquiorra wins the match.
speed aint everything ....... even when kenpachi's sense was lost to tousens bankai he still owned do not write him out cos if hes going down he'll probably take ulquiorra with him
He Who Speaks Without An Attentive Ear Is Mute.

for now on ulquiorra is way stronger.if kenpachi learns his zan name he will become much stronger.
@king of soul society yes speed isnt everything but if the opponent is so fast that you cant lay a single hit on him then you are done for.of course as i said if kenpachi releases ulquiorra is dead.

Exeter caused the upset of Round Four in the Premiership on Sunday with a 14-12 victory over Saracens at Sandy Park.
Exeter caused the upset of Round Four in the Premiership on Sunday with a 14-12 victory over Saracens at Sandy Park.
A second-half try from Fijian flyer Sireli Naqelevuki was enough to secure an impressive win for Chiefs.
The Chiefs were deserved victors, but they were pushed every step of the way by their opponents, who held the lead just after the quarter-hour mark courtesy of a penalty goal from Owen Farrell.
Exeter hit back immediately through a three-pointer from Ignacio Mieres and the two sides traded further penalties before half-time, with Mieres' double in the last ten minutes of the half putting the Chiefs on the right end of a 9-6 scoreline.
There was a more action-packed start to the second half, and Farrell, whose missed conversions at Wembley a week earlier had cost Sarries dear, wasted little time in booting his side level.
But the visitors' hopes of taking the game by the scruff of the neck were hindered on 49 minutes when Chris Ashton was sin-binned for foul play.
It was the second time in the contest that Sarries had been reduced to 14 men, after Kelly Brown saw yellow in the first, and it was the second card that would prove pivotal, as two minutes later Exeter were over for the game's first and only try.
The gap was opened by a sweeping passing move directly from the line-out, with Naqelevuki chiming in to the line and finishing well to give the Chiefs a five-point cushion.
But, after Farrell's fourth penalty goal of the afternoon sailed over, the Chiefs looked to be in real trouble when Chris Whitehead was dispatched to the sin-bin.
Ashton, meanwhile, was back on for Sarries, though neither he nor the hard-working visiting pack could unlock the Exeter defence and prevent the hosts from recording their second win of the season.

Try: Naqelevuki

Former Western Province lock Quinn Roux will make his home debut for Leinster in Saturday's PRO12 clash with the Dragons in Dublin.
Former Western Province lock Quinn Roux will make his home debut for Leinster in Saturday's PRO12 clash with the Dragons in Dublin.
Roux partners skipper Leo Cullen in the second-row while another home debut is handed to Leinster Academy flanker Ben Marshall who made his first appearance for the province away to Ulster in December 2010.
Marshall comes into the back-row alongside Shane Jennings and number eight Leo Auva'a.
Ireland hooker Sean Cronin is included in the front-row alongside Jamie Hagan and Jack McGrath.
In the absence of the injured Isaac Boss, John Cooney will link up with Ian Madigan at half back with the rest of the largely fledgling back-line that started last weekend's game in Llanelli – aside from the experienced Isa Nacewa who will make his 104th appearance – set to continue.
Devin Toner is named on the replacements bench alongside prop Heinke van der Merwe.
Meanwhile, Dragons back row Jevon Groves is set to lead the men of Gwent for the first time.
Although this is his first outing as Dragons captain, he is no stranger to the position having captained the Wales Sevens team to the plate semi-finals during the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
Fellow back row and regional captain Lewis Evans makes his return from injury from the bench whilst prop Tim Ryan will be looking to start his competitive career at the Dragons as a replacement.
With an unchanged back-line from the 37-6 victory over the Zebre last week, head coach Darren Edwards has rung the changes in the forwards with Groves, Ian Nimmo and Toby Faletau the only survivors from last weekend's starting line-up.
Form: Leinster have now slipped to back to back defeats in the RaboDirect PRO12 – they have not lost three in a row in the competition since October 2008. The only visiting team to have beaten the Leinstermen at the RDS in any competition in the last three years , other than Ospreys, was Glasgow in September 2011. Newport Gwent Dragons top the RaboDirect PRO12 table after round one, courtesy of their bonus point win over newcomers, Zebre. The Welshmen have three times before led the league after one week (2005, 2007 and 2008) and on all three occasions have lost in round two and surrendered top spot. The Men from Gwent have won just one of their last dozen encounters with Irish provinces: 22-9 at home to Ulster on 30 September 2011. Dragons solo victory in Ireland since2004 came at Ulster in September 2008. Leinster have taken the last four clashes with Newport Gwent Dragons, whilst Dragons have never overturned the Leinstermen on their own soil!
The teams:
Leinster: 15 Isa Nacewa, 14 Andrew Conway, 13 Brendan Macken, 12 Noel Reid, 11 Fionn Carr, 10 Ian Madigan, 9 John Cooney, 8 Leo Auva'a, 7 Shane Jennings, 6 Ben Marshall, 5 Quinn Roux, 4 Leo Cullen (c), 3 Jamie Hagan, 2 Sean Cronin, 1 Jack McGrath.
Replacements: 16 Tom Sexton, 17 Heinke van der Merwe, 18 Martin Moore, 19 Devin Toner, 20 Jordi Murphy, 21 Luke McGrath, 22 Colm O'Shea, 23 Darren Hudson.
Dragons: 15 Dan Evans, 14 Will Harries, 13 Pat Leach, 12 Andy Tuilagi, 11 Tom Prydie, 10 Steffan Jones, 9 Jonathan Evans, 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Jevon Groves (c), 6 Hywel Stoddart, 5 Adam Jones, 4 Ian Nimmo, 3 Nathan Buck, 2 Sam Parry, 1 Nathan Williams.
Replacements: 16 Hugh Gustafson, 17 Aaron Coundley, 18 Tim Ryan, 19 Lewis Evans, 20 Tom Brown, 21 Liam Davies, 22 Ashley Smith, 23 Hallam Amos.
Date: Saturday, September 8
Venue: RDS, Dublin
Kick-off: 18.15 BST (17.15 GMT)
Referee: Marius Mitrea

: : Can anyone comment on the flush on the Briggs Vacuity. I need to decide between this and a Toto G-Maxstyle.
: : Any help appreciated.
: Reply:
: I have one of each in my house.
: Prior to becoming fimilar w/Toto's G-Max flushing system, I recommended the Briggs Vacuity to my brother-in-law when he built his house. He installed 3 and he's very pleased with them. (Although, I haven't told him about Toto yet)
: Sense then I've been very impressed with Toto's G-Max design. I have actually placed a hand full (6) large stones (1" to 1-1/4" in dia.) and a ball point pen into a domo unit. One flush and everything had passed completely out of the bowl, through the trap, and into a bucket below.
: It's like Terry Love said, it depends what you're going to be putting down the toilet. I was much more impressed with the rocks and pen, than those plastic balls:)
: Seriously - I can't say anything bad about the Briggs that I have, but the Toto certainly evacuates (and scours) the bowl better than the Briggs. TerryA

The transmitter is the heart of the 4-20 mA signaling system. It converts a physical property suchas temperature, humidity or pressure into an electrical signal. This electrical signal is a currentproportional to the temperature, humidity or pressure being measured. In a 4-20 mA loop, 4 mArepresents the low end of the measurement range and 20 mA represents the high end.BAPI specifies the power to our current transmitters as a range, 15 to 24 VDC for a humiditytransmitter or 7 to 40 VDC for a T1K temperature transmitter. The lower voltage is the minimumvoltage necessary to guarantee proper transmitter operation. The higher voltage is the maximumvoltage the transmitter can withstand and operate to its stated specifications
If you are sensing a current loop transmission, you can use a resistor;If you are sending a current loop transmission, you can use a current generator. You can build one from an opamp + transistor, or with just four transistors + some resistors. Either way, it is fairly simple.
What exactly are you trying to emulate or achieve and in what enviroment?
So you are talking about a three wire or two wire sensor? Id assume three to keep it simple?

Planning a New Year's Eve celebration [1]? Consider injecting your party with a little something special. Whether you're planning a quiet gathering of your closest friends, or an all-out wild bash; whether your party will be black-tie or blue jeans, there's an idea here to add panache to every at-home New Year's Eve soiree.
For the Low-Key New Year's Eve: A Compact Wine Cooler
Sure, you could pull your bottle of chardonnay out from between the dill pickles and last week's dried-out layer cake – but why, when you can upgrade to a compact wine cooler like this one [2] from Koolatron? Hey, this is a brand new year, so start it by treating yourself and your guests [3] to something new. The Koolatron WC04 Compact Thermoelectric 4-Bottle Wine Cooler keeps up to four 25-ounce bottles of vino chilled and at the ready. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally (under your kitchen cabinets, for instance) or it works free-standing (like on the corner of your home bar [4]). It'll look attractive no matter where you put it, with its transparent door, removable contoured shelves and soft interior lights. And retailing for around $130, it's a wine enthusiast's upgrade that'll cost you less than your best bottle of bubbly.
For the Class-Act Bash: A Champagne Fountain
Wow your guests for that midnight toast with your very own light-up champagne fountain [5]! You can make your dining room table look like the ballroom at The Plaza for around $30 with a Nostalgia LPF-210 Lighted 1-Gallon 3-Tiered Party Fountain. This dramatic champagne dispenser pumps champagne from the bottom bowl to the top, where it cascades over to be collected in the bottom bowl again. The built-in lighting changes automatically to provide a dazzling array of colors. It even comes with eight coordinating cups.
For the Party to End All Parties: Disco Ball Lighting
One minute your family room [6] looks like any other family room – the next, it's a happenin' night spot! The transition is easy and affordable with disco ball lighting for around $20. The model shown here [7] includes a rotating mirror ball and two colored LED spotlights. If that's not enough, it's kicked up a notch with four powerful LEDs mounted onto the base. Big impact for very little money. Keep the party spinning all night long this New Year's Eve. (And on a ho-hum night in the middle of a work week, whip it out and dance your stresses away. Go ahead, nobody's looking.)
With the addition of a splashy new gadget to your New Year's Eve celebration, you can have the coolest (or the hottest) party in the neighborhood. Pick your pace and party!

Wind Direction and Drift Lines
Leeward shorelines collect windblown surface debris. In these foam lines are trapped insects and nearby baitfish. Windward shores adjacent to shoreline vegetation can be an additional source of terrestrials. Also, the leeward shore receives a surf action which stirs up the bottom-dwelling aquatic insects and makes them available for predation. Fish may move into the surf to feed. Muddy surf areas are indications that the bottom has been disturbed. Fish the juncture where water clarity improves enough for the fish to readily see your offering. When fishing stained water, slow down your retrieve and make your casts closer together. Make it easy for the fish to find your fly. The muddy surf affords concealment for the foraging fish. A wide variety of fly patterns can be effective because they must only match some of the bottom-dwelling shoreline insects.

Another day, another drop for bitcoin. The virtual currency was down again Monday after losing big on Friday, when Japan-based exchange Mt. Gox halted withdrawals.
Today Mt. Gox, the world's third-largest bitcoin exchange, said that customers could resume taking out cash as normal, blaming Friday's halt on a technical malfunction that interfered with the way third-party transactions were verified, which affects bitcoins beyond those just handled by Mt. Gox. It said it will resume bitcoin withdrawals once the problem is addressed.
The currency bounced around a good deal on the news, ultimately ending down to just under $664, after trading as high as $704 and as low as $535, but the removal Mt. Gox pricing from the likely had at least some upward lift.

I was sitting in the office today, trying to think of a good dish for a nice spring day… but for some reason my mind wandered to Breaded Pork. Not exactly what I would call a spring dish, but I went with it anyway!
I think my side made up for that.
2 cuts of pork (mine was from a larger tenderloin), cut of fat
2 cups of flour
2 cups of bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
several cloves of garlic
1 head of broccoli
2 ears of corn, decobbed
3 cups of peanut oil
Salt, Pepper and Sugar – all to taste
Here we go… with yet another simple dish.
1 – With a meat a meat hammer, flatten out your pork to about 1/4″
2 – Salt and pepper to taste, both sides.
3 – Place your flour, bread crumbs and eggs into three separate bowls.
4 – Dip your pork into the flour in order to cover the entire cut of meat, shake off any excess. Dip in egg, let the extra drain off, then cover with breadcrumbs. Repeat for your second cut of meat. Place aside.
5 – Place your oil in a nice sized pot, begin to heat up to roughly 350 to 375. Also turn your broiler onto high, making sure you have a rack in the middle of the oven.
6 – Cut your broccoli into flowerettes, cut your garlic into half cloves, add corn and place into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Mix in salt, pepper and some sugar. (all to taste)
7 – Place into broiler (once heated) and roast for 7 to 9 minutes.
8 – When your oil is heated, place the pork into the pot – only do one piece of meat at a time. Cook for roughly 1 to 2 minutes per side, just make sure you don't burn them!
There you go, you are done. Plate, add some capers, a wedge of lime and enjoy!
Sorry about the picture. I tried to get everything into the shot!
I loved the dish – there is so much more I one can do with this. The breading can be made into just about anything you desire. You can spice it it, or you can go with other flavors. Very easy, and very tasty.
The roasted broccoli – for me – was UBER good. I've made this dish in the past with brown sugar, but opted for regular this time. LOVED IT. The little lady didn't care for the sugar, but loved the corn.
Oh, and Tina – the butter topic will be posted for you tomorrow.
