Top 20 Non-Compliance Findings for Panel & Motor-Operated Equipment
by admin on Nov.10, 2014, under Product Safety
Here at MET Labs, we've been product safety testing electrical/electronic equipment in the field for over 55 years. Naturally, we see the same failures over and over again. We hope this list of Top 20 Field Failures for Panel & Motor-Operated Equipment will help inspectors identify and contractors fix the most commonly observed non-compliances.
1. Supplementary Protector Usage – Supplementary Protectors are used incorrectly as branch circuit protection. When used incorrectly, these components are known to fail – welding closed and causing fires/short circuits. These can either be replaced by UL 489 listed circuit breakers or branch circuit fuses (suitable for the circuit rating).
2. Risk of Electrical Shock – Covers over live electrical parts are not secured properly. A tool or key is required to access areas that pose a risk of electrical shock.
3. Dedicated Ground – The main incoming grounding conductor is not terminated at its own dedicated point (e.g. there were two wires in the grounding terminal). The secondary ground must be moved to another grounding terminal.
4. Motor Overload Protection – Overload charts are not provided in the panel to verify the rating of the overload protection.
5. Protection of Power Supplies – The manufacturer's instructions for overcurrent protection are not followed.
6. Strain Relief – An internal terminal strain relief device is not provided.
7. Working Space – Control panels are located too close to the wall and are not able to be serviced properly. The panel doors must be able to open at least 90 degrees.
8. Emergency Stop – Emergency stops are not provided at control and operator stations where shutdown would be required. These E-stops are required to override all other functions and operations in all modes (unless it creates another hazard).
9. Protection of Motor Drives – Motor drives are improperly protected per the manufacturer's installation instructions. These frequency drives require specific size and type primary fuses or listed circuit breakers depending upon the size of the drive.
10. Power Transformer Protection – Power Transformers are not properly protected on the primary or secondary, based on the appropriate tables in the related standards.
11. Control Transformer Protection – Control Transformers are not properly protected. In some cases, only primary protection was found when secondary protection was also needed.
12. Termination of Wiring – Some wires are not terminated or were improperly terminated. Improper multiple terminations is a common issue and could create overheating at the terminal.
13. Conductor Ampacities Based on Termination Ratings – Conductor sizing is done improperly. Conductors are sized based on conductor ampacity without consideration to termination ratings.
14. Wire Bending Space for Main Connections – Control panels don't have adequate wire bending space for the main connections, risking snapping the termination completely off.
15. Component Information – Components are not marked as certified (MET, CSA, UL, FM, ETL, VDE, JIS, etc.). Some components have CE marking, which is not acceptable.
16. Flexible Cords – Flexible cords are used improperly per NEC Article 400, which restricts the use of flexible cords for specific applications.
17. Multiple Power Sources – Panels that are fed with more than one source of power are not marked with a cautionary marking to protect the individual servicing the panel. This marking is required: "Caution, more than one disconnect, disconnect all before servicing."
18. Area Classification – The environment where the product is installed is inappropriate. For example, a product intended for Ordinary Locations cannot be installed in a Class 1 Division 2 location.
19. Panel Only Certification – A control panel is certified but the load served by the panel is not.
20. Equipment Markings – Marking labels are not suitable for the surface material and temperature applied or text is not of adequate size and of good contrast.

ENERGY STAR Certification of Data Center Storage Equipment Begins
by admin on Nov.05, 2013, under ENERGY STAR
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized Version 1.0 of the ENERGY STAR Data Center Storage Specification and the ENERGY STAR Data Center Storage Test Method.
According to EPA, datacenters are estimated to be more than 2% of total U.S. electricity consumption, so more energy efficient data center storage equipment will help data center owners and operators save significant money on their energy bills.
The ENERGY STAR Data Center Storage specification enhances the suite of ENERGY STAR datacenter equipment specifications, which currently includes Computer Server and Uninterruptible Power Supply specifications.
This specification:
- Introduces an approach to product families that allows both homogenous and heterogeneous storage device configurations to be certified
- Includes requirements focused on power supplies, capacity optimizing methods, and standard performance data measurement and output
- Allows for variations within product families to incorporate newer storage devices and other system improvements over the life of the storage product
The V1.0 Specification requires all products to test and submit data using the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Emerald Power Efficiency Measurement Specification V2.0.2.
The effective date of the V1.0 Data Center Storage Specification is December 2, 2013, but MET Labs is already an EPA-recognized certification body (CB) for this category and is in advanced stages of the test lab recognition process with EPA.

ENERGY STAR Certification of Enterprise Servers to Version 2 Has Begun
by admin on Jun.12, 2013, under ENERGY STAR
For certification of enterprise servers, ENERGY STAR is transitioning from specification version 1.1 to 2.0. Version 2.0 is not officially effective until December 16, 2013, but manufacturers may already have products certified to it. As of August 31, 2013, Certification Bodies like MET Labs will no longer certify new products to version 1.1.
Here are the top 3 changes in Servers V. 2.0:
- Server Efficiency Rating Tool (SERT) is now a mandatory requirement
- Longer idle state testing
- Blade Systems (including Blade Servers and Blade Chassis) and Multi-Node Servers are now eligible for certification

NRCan Proposes Decoupling ENERGY STAR Specs from its Energy Efficiency Regulations
by admin on Feb.19, 2013, under Canada, ENERGY STAR
Natural Resources Canada's (NRCan) ENERGY STAR Initiative is considering significant changes in how products manufactured and/or sold in Canada are qualified and listed.
NRCan proposes to de-couple Canada's ENERGY STAR technical specifications from its Energy Efficiency Regulations. NRCan intends to use the ENERGY STAR technical specification published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exclusively for ALL product categories (except fenestration products). A one month commentary period revealed that the harmonization of technical specifications with the EPA was not an issue for the majority of Canadian manufacturers.
This change, however, will result in other changes: using the EPA's specification could result in manufacturers using test procedures which, at any given time, may not be identical to those used for Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations, for regulated products. As such, NRCan will not be collecting data from manufacturers' EERs to auto-qualify their products for ENERGY STAR designation.
Analysis by NRCan reveals that this decision will only impact a small subset of manufacturers who sell regulated products in Canada only – and for the most part, only for those product categories whose ENERGY STAR specification's test procedure differs significantly from the one required in Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations. These manufacturers may be required to pay for additional testing, in order to fulfill reporting obligations to both NRCan and the EPA.
Not changing: Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations stipulate that all prescribed energy-using products, imported or shipped inter-provincially for sale or lease in Canada, must bear an energy efficiency verification mark authorized by a certification body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. (See MET's energy efficiency verification mark here). The dealer of the energy-using product must ensure that an energy efficiency report is filed with NRCan for models available for sale or lease in Canada.
At the time that the ENERGY STAR Initiative was introduced into Canada in 2001, NRCan chose to set its own efficiency levels and testing procedures for some products subject to Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations, in order to harmonize them with those required for the Regulations. As such, ENERGY STAR qualification was automatically given to products which met the higher efficiency level required by the Canadian ENERGY STAR specification (harmonized with NRCan's Regulations). Manufacturers wishing to designate products as ENERGY STAR qualified simply filled out voluntary fields in their EERs, and if their product met the specified level set by a database filter, they were listed as such.
Since that time, the number of product categories eligible for ENERGY STAR recognition has doubled, the frequency of technical specification updates or revisions has doubled, and NRCan has found that the efficiency levels of ENERGY STAR specifications in Canada and the United States are identical, regardless of the units of measure or the test procedures specified.
Products for sale or lease in Canada that are not subject to Energy Efficiency Regulations have always followed the EPA's certification process in order to achieve ENERGY STAR qualification:
- Manufacturers must submit their product for testing to an EPA-approved laboratory
- Testing results must be validated by an EPA-approved Certification Body (CB)
- The CB must seek ENERGY STAR designation on behalf of manufacturers whose products they have validated as meeting the EPA's specifications for ENERGY STAR qualification
- The product is recognized by the EPA and listed on their Web site
Moving forward, NRCan proposes that the above steps apply to all products which are currently eligible for ENERGY STAR designation in Canada, with the exception of fenestration products and HRVs. This means that EPA-recognized Certification Bodies must submit data to the EPA on behalf of their clients, for all products that manufacturers wish to be recognized as ENERGY STAR qualified. It also means that in order to do so, the data must come from an EPA-certified lab.
Comments and questions should be sent to NRCan's ENERGY STAR Chief Dianna Miller at firstname.lastname@example.com. Include "ENERGY STAR Canada proposed changes" in your subject line.

Luminaires Manufacturers Get New ENERGY STAR Certification Resources
by admin on Jan.08, 2013, under ENERGY STAR
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has posted new materials that aid in the testing and certification of lighting products for ENERGY STAR:
Certifying Luminaires – Utilizing the Certified Subcomponent Database (CSD)
This document helps luminaire manufacturers select components for ENERGY STAR fixtures. Items listed on the CSD have already been tested for photometric, life and/or electrical performance at EPA-recognized laboratories. Using the CSD can help reduce testing costs and time associated with the ENERGY STAR certification process for luminaires.
Certifying Luminaires – LED Light Engines and GU24 Base Lamps
This document helps explain the nuances and benefits of these two light sources and how to get these products listed on the CSD. Using these products in lieu of built-in LED systems can help reduce engineering and testing costs, and time to market. EPA's latest ENERGY STAR specification for Luminaires provides a straightforward pathway for qualifying fixtures with these products.
Certifying Luminaires – Maximizing Testing Investment�
This document explains how testing costs can be minimized by utilizing allowable variations to group product together into a family. As an EPA-recognized certification body (CB), MET Laboratories can help determine the appropriate groupings.
Time to Certification
This document visually shows the process to qualify a luminaire and also provides estimates for lifetime testing.
More resources can be found on EPA's ENERGY STAR lighting webpage and on its Frequently Asked Questions page.

FCC Outlines Testing of Consumer Wireless Charging Devices at TCB Council Workshop
by admin on Oct.23, 2012, under EMC, SAR, Wireless
At the recent Telecommunication Certification Body Council Workshop in Baltimore, Kwok Chan and Mark Neumann of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Office of Engineering and Technology outlined testing and certification requirements for Consumer Wireless Charging Devices.
Wireless charging devices are generally used to charge batteries in portable electronic devices via magnetic induction. Chargers can deliver up to 5W of power, enough to charge most wireless handsets, and work at distances up to 10mm.
These products have been around since the 1990s, but only have become practical in recent years, so FCC thought it was worthwhile to cover how these devices fall into the existing regulatory compliance framework. Following are main points from the presentation.
Chargers and clients are generally approved separately; however, they should satisfy compliance in both standalone mode and as a system.
Wireless charging devices can be approved under Part 15 or Part 18 or both rule parts.
Part 15 authorization required if:
- Primary charging frequency includes information not related to power management
- A secondary frequency is used for communications
Part 18 authorization for the charger and clients:
- Load and power management must be integral to wireless charging operation and frequency
- May not communicate any information not related to power management and control
- Proximity of the charger and client device(s) must satisfy Part 18 requirement that the RF energy is locally generated and used
- Other communications are authorized separately under Part 15
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) considerations:
- Charger must be evaluated with appropriate client(s) in place
- The worst case transmitting conditions for the system as a whole must be evaluated for each applicable configuration: Bluetooth, WWan, WLan, etc.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Single client low power devices generally do not present exposure concerns for nearby users, but multi-client devices or short-distance power transfer can result in widely varied fields and potential exposure concerns.
For most small consumer chargers, exposure conditions identified in §2.1091(d)(4) may apply.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits do not cover wireless chargers operating below 100 kHz and 300 kHz, respectively.
The presentation concluded with two points:
- A KDB Inquiry should be submitted for guidance for wireless charger applications
- Wireless Chargers remain on the Permit But Ask (PBA) list

ENERGY STAR Certification to Combine CFLs and LEDs into Lamp Specification
by admin on Aug.29, 2012, under ENERGY STAR
As mentioned previously, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is combining the scope of the Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) and Integral LED Lamps specifications into one technology-neutral Lamps specification.
EPA held a webinar on August 8, 2012 to describe some of the requirements of this Lamps Draft 2 specification. Following is a summary of some of the new electrical performance requirements. Please note that the following details are not finalized, but are provided for informative purposes to showcase draft details.
SIDE NOTE: EPA Program Manager for ENERGY STAR Eamon Monahan will be speaking at MET Labs' Annual Global Product Compliance Seminar & Crab Feast in September. He will be providing an update on the ENERGY STAR Program. Register here.
Start Time
Starting time is defined as the time between application of power to the device and the point where the light output reaches 98% of its initial plateau.
Draft 2 of this specification adjusted the start time from 0.5 to 1 second. This was partially attributable to a conflict between decreasing the Start Time requirement while increasing the Rapid Cycle Stress Test requirement in Draft 1.
A start time test method was introduced in Annex D.
Run-Up Time
Run-Up time is defined as the time between the application of power to the device and the time when the light output first reaches a specified percentage of stable light output. This requirement is primarily based on the premise that the consumer expects quick response when using lamps.
Solid state products are now exempted from this requirement, while CFLs maintain the levels provided in Draft 1.
A run-up time test method was introduced in Annex E.
Power Factor
Draft 1 had listed a power factor of 0.7 for all lamps >5W. This has now changed as per lamp type. Draft 2 power factors are now:
- Residential CFLs ≥ 0.5
- Commercial CFLs ≥ 0.9
- Residential Solid State ≥ 0.7
- Commercial Solid State ≥ 0.9
For the dimming requirement of the specification, the EPA is currently waiting on additional stakeholder input in the areas of:
- Dimming level
- Flicker
- Audible noise
- Compatibility
Transient Protection
Draft 2 made two changes to this requirement:
- There is now a new exemption for low voltage lamps
- Lamp base orientation language was removed from testing guidance
Electromagnetic & Radio Frequency Interference
Since FCC compliance is already required by law, reference to FCC requirements was removed from the specification.
Lamp Toxics Reduction
IEC 62554 was added as the test procedure reference for documenting the mercury content found in the product.
Lamp Base and Shape
A requirement for Lamp Base Dimensions and Tolerances was deleted from Draft 1. The requirement was considered redundant. Lamp base dimensions are already verified during electrical safety evaluation.
Lamp Shape Dimensional Requirements are now applicable to ANSI standard lamps only.
This new lighting specification and much more are sure to be discussed at the 2012 ENERGY STAR Products Partner Meeting for Lighting, Appliances, Water Heaters & Electronics being held from October 22–24, 2012 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

ENERGY STAR Merges Lighting Scopes into New Luminaires & Lamps Specifications
by admin on Apr.19, 2012, under ENERGY STAR
Although this year marks the 20th anniversary of the ENERGY STAR program, lighting was a bit late to the party. It wasn't until 15 years ago that residential light fixtures got their first ENERGY STAR specification, and 13 years ago that compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) did.
ENERGY STAR lighting continues to evolve. Following are some updates.
The Luminaires Version 1.1 specification became effective April 1, 2012. It combines the scope of the Solid-State Lighting (SSL) Version 1.3 specification and the Residential Light Fixtures Version 4.2 specification.
Only those light fixture models that have been third-party certified as meeting the Luminaires V1.1 requirements now appear on the ENERGY STAR qualified product list. Fixtures qualified under the previous specifications will not be "grandfathered in" to this new specification.
There are nearly 500 qualified luminaires from more than 50 manufacturers, covering over 20 different product types.
The new ENERGY STAR Lamps V1.0 specification is still being developed. This new specification will merge the scope of the Compact Fluorescent Lamps V4.3 and Integral LED Lamps V1.4 specifications into one technology-neutral specification.
For draft 1 of the Lamps specification, EPA received 175 pages of comments. These comments are being considered for draft 2, which is anticipated in the next several months.
Certification Bodies
Using the new third party certification (3PC) process, in 2011 Certification Bodies like MET Labs certified 191 CFLs, 357 LED lamps, 166 luminaires, and 1,462 light strings. In 2012, the number of lighting products certified is expected to be even higher.
According to EPA research, CB processing time ranges from 24 hours to two weeks, depending on a certification body's work load and the completeness of a product submission.
Once a CB certifies a product meets an ENERGY STAR specification, it sends the data to EPA to be uploaded to the qualified products lists (QPLs). Lists are currently updated weekly for bulbs and twice a month for fixtures (around the first and the middle of the month). By the end of 2012, all product lists should be updated on a daily basis.
Upcoming Events
The next ENERGY STAR products partner meeting is October 22–24, 2012 in St. Paul, Minnesota. This is for lighting, as well as appliance and electronics partners and other stakeholders.
EPA Program Manager for ENERGY STAR Eamon Monahan will be speaking at MET Labs' Annual Global Product Compliance Seminar & Crab Feast in September.

Analysts expect Battlefield 3 sales to hit 11 million in first year
Cowen and Company has changed its full year sales predictions for Battlefield 3 from 8 million to 11 million. The firm said thanks to EA's marketing campaign, the title is seeing pre-orders "comparable" to pre-order figures for last year's Call of duty Black Ops. Earlier this week, UK retailer GAME said pre-orders for BF3's closest rival, Modern Warfare 3, are outpacing last year's Black Ops. The figures for both shooters should make for an interesting discussion once holiday sales are compiled an posted in January. Thanks, GI.biz.

Where can be a problem?
Thanks a lot,
Hey Martin,
I have yet to actually see this bug, but a lot of people have reported it. The only way I can fix it is you can give me FTP access and an admin account to take a look at it. I can't reproduce this error.
Hi Mike,
I have just sent an email from your home web.
Thanks a lot,
I have the blank page problem as well, but I do not think it is directly related to WordPress-HTTPS (in my case at least).
After installing my SSL certificate, any https requests produced a blank page. I installed the plugin in the hope that it would solve the blank problem, but no.
I installed an ssl cert on a different site not using WordPress and it works as expected so there is something about my setup that feeding the poo.
I just got a report from a client running a woocommerce site of a blank site after updating the HTTPS plugin. It was fixed by deactivating the plugin. The site had been working fine with the plugin for several months until update. The site was recently moved by HostGator to their servers but was running fine with its new SSL cert there.
Any ideas.
Is there anywhere to get old versions? I am happy to provide a login, how can I contact you?
revised information to above he could not access the backend of the site until he tried to in another browser. he was receiving the too many redirects message that is mentioned in some other posts here relating to the latest update
Hi Mike,
my issue is still not solved. I invested in SSL certificate and I cannot use it:-(
Try the development version. If you still receive a blank page, check your error logs. Some users have had issues with hitting PHP's memory limit.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- This year's HealthFocus survey shows that shoppers are less willing than ever to compromise taste for health's sake -- 46% vs. 33% in 1990. At the same time, there was a big increase in consumer emphasis on functional foods. This trend reflects the increasing number of people who believe in using foods therapeutically, to reduce the need for drugs or medical therapy. These and other findings were reported by Linda Gilbert, president of HealthFocus here, whose fifth ...

The Sun And The Moon
by The Bravery

- Release Date: May 22, 2007
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The Bravery are an easy target -- after all, they were often seen as also-rans even when their kind of music was the hot new thing -- but, unfortunately, The Sun and the Moon's hesitant, unfocused feel doesn't do much to dissuade that notion.
The group's first album had hooks in abundance, and they are only slightly less plentiful here. These hooks are the source of the pleasure, while Endicott's sometimes questionable lyrics give us our feelings of guilt for being drawn in, in spite of ourselves.
Rolling StoneThey get halfway to a hot neo-New Wave record. [14 Jun 2007, p.102]
SpinZoom in on this overproduced second album, dripping with newly emboldened lyrical pretensions, and you'll find cracks in the enjoyable cliches. [Jun 2007, p.91]
The Sun And The Moon", The Bravery's down-to-earth approach ought win them a second chance.

A collection of pop songs without a minimal sign of authenticity? A mix of overproduced songs with ridiculous lyrics and poor musical development?

It´s a shame for Brendan O´Brien, but this is not his fault. The sin is over the band´s shoulders. This is just an exercise of bad rhymes, few original melodies, tired vocals (it feels that he tries too hard to be Robert Smith) and really ludicrous and annoying lyrics.

You read Maxim?
Ah, no. Friend sent a link, thought I might be interested. Maybe I should start, though.
Why not just join the Facebook groups for Sanyaya instead?
The photo on the right kind of reminds me of Kelly Clarkson.
I read a Maxim for the first time a week ago and was amazed at the Neanderthal attitude of the articles. In particular there was one about how terrible it was when a woman 'pretends' to be interested in sports, drinking, and strippers.
The article went on to really demonize women who didn't fit into the stereotype. Not to get on a Maxim bash but I always thought women were overreacting to oppose girlie mags, but that issue was full of sexism and homophobia.
Maxim actually used to be awesome, with helpful construction projects and stuff, but now its just Playboy with more clothes and less free thought.
Sanjaya is not BAD. People are being jerks, and this poor kid can't help being chosen over and over again. He doesn't deserve the wrath he's been facing. Gina, Haley, Chris, all the others have deserved to be kicked off as well, maybe more so in Haley's case.
there is no question as to how he remains. It is Howard Stern, along with vote for the worst, that keeps him in. I love it. This movement is for all those who detest AI and want to discredit it by making them crown the oddest, most tone deaf singer in history... Keep voting! I'll post the # to call to vote in the comment section as soon as I know what it is...
I don't find the attraction of either Sanjaya or Maxim to be explicable, myself. Well, in theory, I guess, among people I don't know or particularly like.
Make that, Howard & votefortheworst.com...
Oh my gosh, teen pop fans going gaga over a pretty boy with less than outstanding talent? It's a shocker!
Actually, it's business as usual. Ever heard of Fabian? Frankie Avalon? Leif Garrett? Bobby Sherman? David Cassidy? Sean Cassidy?
Ok Sloggers, go vote! 866-436-5703

Being Forced to Change
As human beings we are pretty slow to change things in our lives unless we are forced to do it. A lifelong smoker might not quit until he has a massive heart attack and his doctor tells him to. Or the male whore might not stop sleeping with random women until he gets a case of the clap. Whatever it is usually we don't make changes in our lives unless we are forced to or if we go through something traumatic.
In my early twenties I was living in a house with two of my friends, at the time I had a steady girlfriend who spent the night at my place often. She liked the sex, a lot… So we would spend most of our time in my room having it. Because I was living with friends at the time she couldn't just parade around my house naked, so the whole post sex drainage thing was a slight issue. We improvised and started to use "the cum towel" which was just a bathroom towel selected that week to be her dumping station.
Now the problem is my room was a constant mess, at that point in my life I would just throw things around my room. Instead of having the philosophy of everything has a place and everything in it's place, I believed that everything could be thrown on the dresser or the floor. One morning before I went to work we had a little roll in the hay, she used the "cum towel" and chucked it into the closet. I got up to get into the shower and went to my closet to grab a towel. Most of the time I would have a towel hanging on the closet door but it had fallen into my closet so I grabbed one off the floor.
I took my standard ten minute shower, relaxing and thinking about the day ahead of me. Taking a shower for me is what gets me going in the morning, I feel like after I take one I am a whole different person and ready to start my day. After I finished the shower I reached out to the toilet and grab the towel I had so carefully placed there. I began to dry myself off but I felt that I was rubbing something onto my body. I looked down at my stomach and saw a mixture of bodily fluids on my stomach, yes I had grabbed the cum towel and rubbed the remnants of the cum towel all over my body.
From that day forward I made sure that I put all my clothes away and kept everything separated in my closet. It was a life changing experience.

Civilians killed and wounded in London - test finished
Posted 15 October 2012 - 09:13 PM
The list contains details of injuries sustained, and from which hospital it was recorded.
If killed, it states which mortuary the deceased was taken to.
The address is usually the home address, though sometimes it is the location of where the bomb fell.
There are a few military casualties mentioned, but not many.
i want to trial the database, before it goes 'live.' So I can search by street name. Let me know what you are looking for.....
I have mortuary records, and detailed bomb incidents from Finsbury and Islington, too.
Anyone interested?

I was under the impression she went to Farborough (sp) Hospital with a near lower leg amputation-It was certainly more than bruised as her scare would testify. She was in M and S in Lewisham at the time working on the till when the V-1 struck the air raid shelter near Woolworths.
Pete - Any reason why you put Quennie Woodward up? I only ask as Woodward became Joan's married name.
The records were made from the first receiving hospital, as relayed to the Met Police. The wounds are often understated, as many injuries (especially crush wounds) were later ammended to 'later died.' Many patients were transferred to other hospitals.
Woodward was a co-incidence. I just looked for the same street address.
The injured were given a reference number, but the actual date of the incident was not given. But I have found that by cross-referencing the number, with that of someone killed, I can (usually) find the date of incident, and where it took place. The date in which this information was published, was often up to a month or so after the event.
I have all the fire brigade records, for London. So I can then usually work out also the full event of what happened on a particular day.

it is basically the area within the M25. So a few bits of home counties come under the area (including Hornchurch).
It will be going on Who Do You Think You Are, and then FindMyPast - along with the London Fire Brigade Records.

My better half would be most grateful (see below)
The time was 7.45 pm on the 9th of October 1940 and Hitler had evidently decided it was important to his war aims that our lovely Victorian house in Dunsmure Road should be destroyed that night.
Dunsmure Road was a quiet residential turning in North London and we had lived there for the past ten years.
My family consisted of my mother Kate, my brother Gerry and myself, Nita Schneiderman, as I was then known.
The evening had started just like many of the other nights we had experienced since the Blitz started on September the 7th.
We had just finished our evening meal and had not yet gone out to the safety of our Anderson Shelter that was situated in the garden. I can't actually remember hearing the sound of the bomb that was to completely alter our lives.
My first recollection was finding myself in complete darkness, covered in dust and debris and that the window of the morning room in which we were sitting had been completely blown into the room and was actually resting on the table at which we had been sitting.
This window had been put in by my late father when we first moved into the house in order to create extra light and it is ironic that because of its presence we were eventually able to make our escape from the ruined house.
When I first recovered my wits, I saw my brother moving around and then the three of us managed to clamber out of the window into the garden. From there we went down the few steps into the cellar and then eventually through another door that gave us access to the front of the house.
By this time the Air Raid Wardens had arrived on the scene and helped us to climb over the debris that was in front of the house.
I particularly remember that one of them took my hand and asked me if I was OK and when I said that I was, he squeezed my hand in reassurance. Sixty five years after the event I cannot think of this moment without a lump coming into my throat. Analysing my emotions I suppose that it was at this actual point in our rescue that I realised we had managed to survive this dreadful experience.
The rescue squad took us to an Air Raid Shelter at the nearby flats of Cambridge Court where there was a First Aid Post.
Here we received treatment for our various cuts, caused mainly by the flying glass. I remember that my arms in particular were badly cut as I had automatically put my arms over my head to protect myself from further injury.
The following day we went back to our house to see what, if anything, remained.
We discovered that the house appeared to have received the first impact of the bomb which had sliced it diagonally and destroyed the upper floors. It had then moved on to our neighbours house which was also badly damaged and finally moved on to a third house which it completely flattened.
This last house was home to a family who had always been very nervous about remaining in their house after the air raid warning had sounded.
They had all been in their Anderson Shelter when the bomb hit and all had survived.
By sheer good luck there were no fatalities or serious injuries caused by 'our' bomb.
A few days later, the demolition squad called and were able to salvage some of our belongings and I can still remember the sight of our few precious possessions standing in a heap by the roadside, in the rain, where they were to remain for the next few days whilst arrangements were made to put them into store.
It is heartening to remember today that despite those terrible times, none of our belongings were stolen or vandalised.
Many thanks

I was "called-up", as a 19 year old, on the 1st of Oct 1942 and was one of 5 serving brothers, one of whom, Jack, was in RAF Bomber Command and was killed on March 16th 1945.
I served as a Driver/Op (Wireless Operator) with the 49th Light Anti Aircraft Rgt. (78 Div) from Apr 1943 to Dec 1944 (North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Egypt). The Regiment was disbanded in Dec 1944 and I was retrained (in Italy) by the Royal Armoured Corps.
Finally, I served as Loader/Op with the 4th Queen's Own Hussars (6th Armd.,78th & 56 Div) from Mar 1945 to Dec 1946 (Italy, Austria, Germany) finishing up as Tech Cpl. for "A" Sqdrn. I was "De-mobbed" in Apr 1947

Can you shed any light on the bombing of High Road, Chapel Street, Market Place and Averton Road in East Finchley on 15.11.40 which certainly claimed the life of Alfred Drury who I believe was decorated in WW1.
The CWGC lists a dozen fatalities but, knowing the area and the close proximity of the houses, there must have been many more injured (unless of course the devastation was caused by more than one raid that I haven't identified).

OK Pete, I know you said there are a few service personnel so from Hornchurch ROH can you find anything about this chap, lived and buried in Hornchurch?
A bit of a tester as you asked, not sure if he died due to bombing or not.
Fentiman, Sgt Pilot Donald Vivian RAFVR
Okay, here is how I can usually (!!) work out if a serviceman was killed in a raid.
In my experience, nearly all raid casualties had their death registered at around the same time.
So go to FreeBMD and look up your man. Click on the reference page, and it will list the people who died on the same day in that area. Now go to CWGC and search for the other people on the same page as your man - hey presto, you will find the incident.

Hi Ron, only those hospitalised were listed. I can find no casualties reported as such.
I will have a look, tomorrow, to see what the Fire Briagde Records show.
Lewis Cohen was treated for shock, at Number 41, but this was much later on in the war.

Thanks Pete i look forward to see what you have
By the way where is she buried ?
This was the question I feared most.
You are not going to like this.
All of the local authorities maintained meticulous records about where the victims of the raids were buried. They then passed this onto the Imperial War Graves Commission (now CWGC).
But (!!) the IWGC Committee decided NOT to publish the details of which cemetery they were buried in (unlike the service casualties).
Sadly, because of a shortage of space, the IWGC destroyed all but a handful of these burial records. I know, I have been to the CWGC and seen the remnants (which sadly, I am not allowed to publish, due to a contract I had to sign with the CWGC).
All is not lost, though. Many of the local authorities still retain the burial locations. Also, when the IWGC was recording the mass of civilian deaths, the original (!!) Book of Remembrance, housed in Westminster Abbey, DID record the burial location - hand written, up until around 1944. When the definitive Book of Rememberance was eventually printed, the burial locations were not included.
The original hand written Book of Rememberance is now held by the CWGC. So any of the early casualties, and their burial location, still survives. But, the CWGC refused to let me see this book - as it is one of the documents which it plans to release once its archive is made public.
I offered to transcribe the burial locations, but this offer was turned down. By all means approach the CWGC and see if they will do a look-up, but I doubt you will get access.....

Are you saying that the ONLY copies of the local authority records were passed to IWGC and the LA did not keep a copy?

Extraordianary story! Apart from lack of space do you think there might be another reason why many of these records were not kept?
Are you saying that the ONLY copies of the local authority records were passed to IWGC and the LA did not keep a copy?
Yep, Space was one issue - data protection, another reason (which is why I had to sign the confidentiality clause). Madness. I even managed to trace the printers (still in existence) that handled the printing of the Abbey's book of remembrance. It has a good archive, but was forced to return the handwritten copies, containing the burial locations, to the IWGC in the early 50's.
Most of the local authorities did NOT keep copies - because they believed that the originals were 'safe' with the IWGC. A tragic blunder.

While I have your ear, another query.
The house where I was born, 21 Boreham Street, Bethnal Green E2, was destroyed by bombing between 1942 & 1945, thereby denying me the opportunity of seeing a plaque there saying "Ron used to live here".
Any chance of finding out when it actually got hit ?
Thanks again and lots of luck with your very worthy project.

It certainly sounds like an amazing piece of work.
May I ask if it has any information for Willow Grove and the Hassells thereof? Haven't got the date to hand but I believe it was a mine in early 1941.

Eye Health Center
Nearly Half of Eye Injuries Occur at Home
Hurt on the Fourth of July continued...
Experts warn that even the most benign fireworks pose a risk, especially to young children.
Many injuries to children are caused by sparklers, which burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees -- hot enough to melt some metals.
Half of all eye injuries from fireworks occur in children, and as many as one in four of these injuries result in permanent vision loss.
"No one should go from a backyard celebration to the emergency room with firework-related injuries," CPSC acting chairman Nancy Nord says in a news statement. "Using only legal fireworks and using them correctly is an important step toward celebrating safely."
Some CPSC tips for safe celebration include:
- Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks.
- Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.
- Avoid fireworks that come in plain brown paper packages. This is a sign that they were made for professional use and could pose a risk to non-professionals.
- Never have any portion of your body directly over fireworks when lighting the fuse.
- Never try to re-light or pickup fireworks that don't go off.
- Never point or throw fireworks at others.
- Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.
- Keep a bucket of water or garden hose handy.
Dangers in the Home
Bungee cords, frying pans, and lawn and household chemicals are just a few of the everyday items responsible for eye injuries within the home.
A survey released Wednesday by AAO/ASOT showed that most people underestimate their at-home risks.
Most survey respondents perceive eye disease to be a more significant threat to their vision than injury, but each year, 50,000 Americans permanently lose all or part of their vision because of injury.
One-fourth of eye injuries occur in children and teens, and half of injuries occurred in people between the ages of 18 and 45. Nearly half of eye injuries (44%) happen in the home, and 15% of injuries occur in the workplace.
Though two-thirds of survey respondents said they owned protective eyewear, 30% of these people said they did not consistently use the eyewear when doing home repairs or projects.

This course satisfies Bradley's Social Forces General Education requirement.
Dr. Jackie Hogan, Department of Sociology
*BIO 300 Landscape and Human Impact in Ireland (Gen Ed TS)
This course traces the development of the Irish landscape and examines the ways human activity has shaped and been shaped by the landscape. Through daily learning excursions in and around Dublin and an excursion of several day to western Ireland, we will examine changes in the Irish landscape over time, consider the history of human occupation and land use, and explore the sustainability of some of the most beautiful and unique landscapes in the world.
Dr. Kelly McConnaughay, Department of Biology
*ENG 300 Exposition: Writing About Travel (Gen Ed C2)
This intensive writing course will dovetail perfectly with your travels. In addition to class writing workshops, you will take notes on your experiences and turn those into daily travel essays that will develop into a travel portfolio, accompanied perhaps by photos, memorabilia, and other fascinating travel miscellanea. Along with the extensive daily assignments, you will write two formal essays. All of your writing will focus on describing, narrating, and analyzing the ways in which daily interaction with a new culture can affect and change you, the traveler. Alumni of the Travel Writing class taught abroad comment that it helped them remember and process even the smallest details of their overseas experience, and that they witnessed rapid improvement of their writing skills.

For the price the hotel is a fair value. I was in the North Tower and the room was definitely dated. They just recently started renovations on the South Tower and the North is due to start January, 2014. I stayed 2 nights at an ARR of $175 so cannot complain about the price!
Service at the restaurant was spotty at best.
Service checking in was pleasant and efficient.
Convenient location in midtown Manhattan.
Agree about the tiny elevators but at least they had three available so never had much of a wait.
I would stay again at the same rate but if it pops over $200 would likely look elsewhere for a nicer place.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, The Holiday Inn Midtown 57th Street is conveniently located to famous New York attractions.

Texas Hunting News
Get Your Deer Scored
On Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Texas Big Game Awards (TBGA) and hunting retailers throughout the state will be hosting "Get-Your-Deer-Scored Day". Any hunter who has harvested a white-tailed deer, mule deer, or pronghorn antelope during the 2001-2002 hunting season is eligible to bring the antlers to the selected store and have them scored by a certified TBGA scorer.
Grand Jury Indicts 10 in Antelope Slaughter
A Dallam County grand jury has returned felony indictments on 10 individuals who allegedly participated in the killing of about two-dozen antelope last December in the Texas Panhandle. The slaughter was the single largest illegal killing of game in Texas in many years and could be the single largest illegal killing of antelope within the United States ever recorded. The indictments were handed down as a result of an intensive investigation lasting almost a year to the day after the discovery of roughly 24 dead antelope on grassland pasture west of Kerrick, Texas.
Desert Bighorns on the Rise
The Texas Park and Wildlife has posted an article detailing the recovery efforts of the Desert Bighorns of remote western Texas. The article notes that today's population of bighorns has recovered to the levels of 1905 after the last native animals were seen in the 1960's. The populations were recovered after reintroduction efforts from Mexico and other U.S. states between 1971 and 1997. Want to see a Desert Bighorn? Check out The Texas Bighorn Society web site.
Big Game Awards Honor Texas Hunting Heritage
The rewards of hunting may be self-apparent, but the recognition of the role it plays in Texas often goes unnoticed.
Big Time Texas Hunts Winners Announced
Thirty-six winners have been drawn for premium hunt packages in this year's Big Time Texas Hunts (BTTH). As of the Nov. 4 deadline, Texas Parks and Wildlife received some 82,486 entries for a total of $824,860 in sales. Proceeds from BTTH are earmarked to provide additional public hunting opportunities and wildlife conservation activities in Texas. The web site lists winners by the BTTH drawing type
Academy To Host Big Game Awards Deer Scoring Day
Any hunter who has harvested a white-tailed deer, mule deer, or pronghorn antelope during the current (2001-2002) hunting season can get the antlers scored by a certified Texas Big Game Awards scorer at selected Academy Sports and Outdoors on Dec. 15 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Big Bend Ranch Will Host Desert Survival Workshops
West Texas guide and naturalist David Alloway returns again this fall to the rugged high-country desert of Big Bend Ranch State Park to lead two weekend desert survival workshops.
Poachers Draw Stiff Sentences Under New Law
The Texas Parks and Wildlife has posted an article explaining the increased poaching penalties that were passed in 1999. Under these new penalties it is possible to receive a felony conviction, 2-10 years of jail time for repeat offenders, and suspension of hunting rights for multiple years. As the article states "some poachers are getting a severe kick in the pants".
Biologists Forecast Hunting Prospects
Timely rainfall coupled with adequate habitat conditions earlier this year should make for above-average hunting across much of Texas this fall, state wildlife biologists are predicting.

Anopheles gambiae Assembly and Gene Annotation
About Anopheles gambiae
Anopheles gambiae senso stricto is the primary mosquito vector responsible for the transmission of malaria in most of sub-Saharan Africa. It is a member of a species complex that includes at least seven morphologically indistinguishable species in the Series Pyretophorus in the Anopheles subgenus Cellia. An. gambiae feeds preferentially on humans and is one of the most efficient malaria vectors known.
Picture credit (public domain): James Gathany (CDC) 1994
The genome assembly presented here (AgamP4, April 2014) is a revised assembly based on the whole genome shotgun assembly of the PEST strain of Anopheles gambiae [1, 2], plus the addition of a mitochondrial chromosome. The assembly is described in detail in VectorBase.
Annotation of the AgamP4 assembly was carried out by VectorBase. The set of gene models presented (genebuild AgamP4.3, released October 2015) combines manual annotation, data provided by the research community, and gene prediction using the Ensembl system. Prediction utilised alignments of dipteran and other protein sets to the genome and generation of GeneWise models, alignment and gene prediction based on Anopheles ESTs, and selected ab initio predictions. More details can be found in VectorBase.
Functional Genomics
The functional genomics database for An. gambiae contains mappings to probes from the many microarray designs, more details can be found at the VectorBase microarray page.
Variation data for Anopheles gambiae was imported from NCBI dbSNP, and from other studies involving the M and S molecular forms [3, 4, 5].
Variation data is also available for the Anopheles gambiae MR4 reference colonies 4ARR, Kisumu, Akron, L3-5 and G3. These samples were sequenced by the Kwiatkowski group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, as part of the Malaria Programme's Anopheles gambiae Genome Variation Project. These variants should be considered preliminary, pending further analysis and quality control filtering.
EST and Protein Alignments
Anopheles gambiae ESTs were mapped onto the genome using Exonerate (Example: 2L:155000-225000).
Proteins from all VectorBase species were mapped to the Anopheles gambiae genome (using blastx) (Example: 2L:39300000-39320000).

A NY Times endorsement is good enough reason to question the Utah Compact as a template for rational policy.

The compact says law enforcement should "focus on fighting crime, 'not civil violations of federal code.'" OK, great. But when an illegal immigrant presents a false social security number as proof it is legal for him to work, that person becomes a felon according to U.S. Criminal code. (See 18 USC 1546a) Do signers of the "Utah Compact" support prosecution of these felons? If not, who decides which felons to prosecute? Are we a nation of laws, or not?

I don't often agree with an NYT editorial, but reasonable people will judge
every issue on its own merits, rather than resorting to generalizations. Read it
first. This is a great editorial and there is not much to disagree with here.
Name me one crime, (e.g. the war on drugs, gang violence, etc.) that has been eliminated by enforcement alone. As important as enforcement of the law is, most societal problems require more than enforcement alone. Also, sometimes laws can be changed to make law enforcement's job easier, and to address the root of a problem.
The NYT editorial is merely pointing out the obvious. Utah can again gain a reputation for creative solutions to difficult problems like illegal immigration, or we can take a narrow view like AZ's that is destined to be ineffective.
Let's encourage expansion of exising federal enforcement programs for local law enforcment like 287(g) to additional Utah counties. Let's continue to support increased effectiveness of enforcement efforts, targeting those guilty of other crimes first.
At the same time it does not detract from enforcement efforts to be supportive of intelligent comprehensive solutions that the compact encourages.

Just a bunch of lies:

- "government by rage"
- "xenophobic radicalism" (another twofer)
- "terrorize"
- "immigrants" (No. ILLEGAL immigrants)
- "harsh"
- "Law enforcement is strengthened by bolstering
immigrants' rights." a half-truth, at best).
By the way: notice that the LDS Church referred to the "compact" NOT as a solution, but as an "approach." Not necessarily the same thing.

WASHINGTON - Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress on Wednesday that the economy has emerged from its anemic spell, but overall growth for the year will be lower than expected.
Inflation remains the chief concern, he said.
Delivering a midyear economic report to Capitol Hill, Bernanke struck a somewhat cautious tone. He suggested the economy appears likely to expand "at a moderate pace" over the second half.
Still, the Fed chief told the House Financial Services Committee that growth this year will be a bit slower than the Fed projected in February.
Growth should strengthen a bit next year, he said. The inflation forecast, however, wasn't changed. It calls for prices other than food and energy to edge lower.
Against this backdrop, the Fed is likely to leave interest rates where they are through the rest of this year.
For just over a year, the Federal Reserve has held a key interest rate at 5.25 percent, providing a period of stability to borrowers.
Bernanke took pains Wednesday to hedge the Fed's bets and outline risks to the economy.
One risk is that energy and commodity prices could continue to rise sharply, boosting the prices of lots of other goods and services and thus spreading inflation through the economy.
The Fed "has consistently stated that upside risks to inflation are its predominant" concern, Bernanke said.
Overall consumer prices calmed down in June, the government reported Wednesday. They rose by just 0.2 percent - the smallest increase in five months. Gasoline prices, however, are now hovering past $3 a gallon.

Rag & Bone Jeans
Kourtney Kardashian in Bleulab and Khloe Kardashian in Rag & Bone
Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian make their way through the Big Apple, first stopping to grab some coffee at Starbucks. Kourtney and Kim's newest show, Kourtney and Kim take New York, will be premiering in November. The Kardashian sisters also appear on the November issue of Lucky Magazine.
When Kourtney and Khloe find something they like, they definitely seem to stick with it. Kourtney is a big fan of Bleulab and wore a pair with tall boots and a chiffon top. I'd love to see her in a pair of their new colored styles. Khloe on the other hand wears a lot of Rag & Bone, and chose a pair of coated black jeans. I love these jeans but I think they'd look better with a different pair of shoes or booties.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Rag & Bone
Gwyneth Paltrow was caught at Heathrow Airport to catch a flight out. She wore a pair of Rag & Bone skinny jeans. I think Gwyneth has some great style. I love these jeans on her. I think ankle jeans just give such a cool vibe to any look when you wear them.
I even like the look of the awkward height of her loafers. I think they add a punk/goth feel to the outfit instead of a preppy feel. I think if she opted for a regular loafer this look would have looked 'school teacher' to me. So I am happy that she did not. You can click here to purchase Rag & Bone jeans from ShopBop.
Blake Lively in Rag & Bone
Blake Lively was caught at the Renaissance Hotel and Madame Tussauds' "Dare to Check-In" Halloween suite in New York. She was bitten by the Rag & Bone bug and chose a pair of the Zipper Jeans over their famous colored pairs. This is the first time we have spotted anyone in these jeans. I think they are a cool style. I like the seaming across the leg.
I am liking the curls on Blake. It is such a nice change from the usual bedhead that we usually see her with. Much more seductive, I think. You can click here to purchase these jeans from the Rag & Bone website for $198.
Who Wore It Best: Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans
I've mentioned a few times on the blog before how much I love Rag & Bone's skinny jeans. It seems as though I'm not the only one, as the brand is becoming increasingly popular with celebrities. From dark washes to colored styles, tons of celebrities are wearing the brand.
Khloe Kardashian wore a black pair with all black and a bright yellow Hermes bag. Liv Tyler wore a blue pair with a simple tee and sneakers. Hilary Duff wears her dark wash denim pair with red heels and a sweater, Emma Stone also paired hers with heels. Eva Longoria wore her white pair with pops of orange. Both Charlize Theron and Miranda Kerr chose to dress theirs down with flats and dark tees. Christie Brinkley, LeAnn Rimes and Sarah Jessica Parker have all dressed their colored versions up with a variety of bold accessories while Malin Ackerman and Ashley Greene wore their colored pairs with black accessories.
