Switches/outlets/wiring devices
|[Down to Last]

Not sure if this has been a topic before, but anyone like wiring devices, etc?
I collect the old ones, have a few brown plugs and old light fixtures.
Personally as far as modern ones, I like the rocker style light switches, they look nice, IMO. I prefer the regular round duplex outlets over decorative ones, as they seem to last better. Actually I rarely see the decorator outlets used, even if the house has rocker/decorative switches.
Another thing is, I prefer white switches/outlets/plates. With white walls, ivory just sticks out so much, and it seems some older devices discolor over time, turning a dark yellow.
My house, actually has a mixture of original 1976 Leviton outlets and toggle switches in ivory, some newer white Leviton switches and toggle switches in white, and a few Leviton rocker switches in white. Haven't gotten around to replacing all of them, mostly just did the kitchen and bath. I don't plan to replace the ones on the pine plank panelled wall, as to me the ivory actually fits in better with the color of the wood than white would.
The original outlets all have that push in style wiring, with no terminal screws, which I don't like, as it makes one wonder how good the connection is.
As they were replaced, did all side wire with screw terminal connections.
All of the original switches though, seem to have push in and screw terminal connections.
Also, still need to add outlets to the kitchen island. THe original had two outlets on the side, but when the cabinets were replaced, didn't want to cut holes into the wood side panels. I'm considering a plugmold strip under the edge of the counter so it would be hidden. Not sure if it's feasible though or would meet code.

I have a small collection of vintage devices and a drawer full of new stuff for quick changeouts when I need to. I'm fascinated by old light switches, in my dads apartment building the switch to the basement stairwell light is one of those round twist-the-knob style switches original from 1915. That light still works, there's a couple more in the basement that are disconnected. Someday I may harvest them for my collection. Unbelievable that a 102 year old switch still works perfectly fine, not many light switches made more recently would last like that.
Another favorite of mine are mercury light switches, my grandmas house was full of them. Someone went around and installed those around 1960 for most lights except the bedrooms, basement light, and a switched outlet next to the picture window. The latter two were original to the house, both were those spring loaded toggle switches that made a very loud snap when flipped. One of them had a plastic toggle, and the basement switch was actually porcelain. Not sure if I saved either of those. I saved a couple of the mercury switches because I was so fascinated with their smooth operation and complete silence, but now I wish I'd saved them all.
Another switch that was common in that house were Slater switches, there was 3 of them in a single gang box in the foyer for the lamp post, porch light, and foyer light, and a single gang box in the garage with two switches, one for the garage light and the lamp post. My dad installed both of those around 1976 when he ran a conduit and made the lamp post into a three way switch setup. There was another set of three of them in the finished basement in a double gang box, one was for a storage room and was paired with a neon indicator light, and the other two were for overhead lights.
There was also a variety of wall outlets in the house, the original ones being two prong outlets, but most were replaced with grounded outlets later on. The most interesting outlet setup in the house was in the front bathroom where somebody had added a duplex switch/receptacle in the single gang box that was just a light switch before, so there was no neutral wire running to the box. So they just strapped the outlets neutral to the back of the metal box and relied on the conduit as a neutral. I was surprised when I discovered that because my grandma used to use that outlet for her Kirby and it never gave any trouble. I later used that trick for a digital timer switch somewhere and worked like a charm

....with different styles of wall switches. When I moved into my 1967 home, it had toggle switches that clicked loudly when operated. I replaced them all with lighted mercury switches in the 1980's and a few years ago, I replaced them all with lighted Decora (rocker) switches in WHITE except for the kitchen which has ALMOND color. I replaced all the duplex outlets with commercial grade Decora units as well.
Some unique wall switches I remember from homes and places I've worked at or visited are;
Push button (one button) on/off in both LARGE round and small rectangle style.
At a church, they had a relay system - there was a rotary knob marked 1-9.
The knob was turned to the desired position (to control desired lights) then a momentary contact paddle switch was pushed up to turn the lights on. The paddle switch could be HELD in the up position while the 1-9 knob was turned and that would then turn on ALL the lights. Pushing the paddle switch DOWN would turn them off.
All the lighted switches I've ever purchased used neon to light the switch including the "new" Decora switches I purchased in 2012. I think newer switches use LED lamps now.

That large, round button was most-likely a Tap-Lite switch - made by Honeywell - which was line voltage. The small, rectangular switch 'could' be a low voltage system, from Touch Plate. And the system with the 9-position rotary knob & rocker switch sounds like a low voltage system, made by General Electric.

I have a few receptacles and switches I removed when renovating my house.
The oldest are from the original construction in 1952. They are the Pass & Seymour brand. These switches have a porcelain body with ivory bakelite handles.
I had replaced several switches in the 70's with those with a small pushbutton (Leviton), and some others in the 80's with rocker switches (Slater).
The basement had some devices that were brown, and most of these had been installed in the early 60's when part of it was finished.
All new devices are white, and the "decorator" type made by LeGrand/Pass & Seymour.
Cole mentioned that he thinks the "decorator" type receptacles don't last as long. I don't think it has anything to do with the style of device, but rather the grade. Residential is the least expensive grade, and doesn't hold up well. All devices used in my renovation are commercial specification grade. Had I wanted to spend even more, I could have used hospital grade (receptacles that have a green dot on the face).

The original devices in this house from 1990 are Eagle which is now Cooper. The new Cooper stuff is identical to the Eagle devices in the house. I only replace devices with spec grade, especially since I noticed that the original Eagle stuff here is the same as Cooper's Spec grade today. And the Eagle stuff has held up quite well so it only makes sense to use Spec grade Cooper.
I generally stick with Cooper spec grade, my second choice is Pass & Seymour spec grade, and for GFI's I like Leviton best.

Cooper is now Eaton, which is also the manufacturer of the Cutler-Hammer breaker panels. They also sell devices labled Arrow-Hart.

Yes not good, my 1983 house had an outdoor under eave Christmas plug that stopped working some years ago, one of the push in wires had come out, the screw conection was there, I guess the electrician thought well it is there, quick and easy, why not? We know why not. I released the other wire and used the screw connections, still working now.

I'll have to do some catching up on that. One of the reasons I liked Cooper was they were made in USA. I looked at the Leviton devices in my drawer and realized they were made in USA too, but distinctly remember them being made in Mexico before. IIRC the reason I chose Cooper over Leviton was they cost the same as the spec grade Levitons but came with the backwire option (not to be mistaken with backstab) which is more convenient and creates a stronger connection than just a wire around a terminal.

Where a device is made depends on the model number. For example, P&S has GFCI's that are exactly the same except for country of origin. The 20 amp PlugTail tamper resistant version is model number PT2097TR if from China, and model number PT2097TRNA for the NAFTA compliant version from Mexico. The wallplates are made in USA.

Our vintage 1962 home has a GE low voltage lighting system with the main control in our bedroom. We have been here almost 5 years with no issues. The previous owner updated a couple of switches and I was able to find a few more plus relays on eBay for backup. I believe all the homes this builder sold were equipped this way. Funny how there is very little information about the residential system on the web

My previous house that I lived in had the same system. Going to sell it in 2018. I was able to find pretty much any of the parts through an electrical supply house locally. Worked great. Nice for remote control over many lights inside and out. Mine was also located in the master bedroom. Great system that is still working well after all these years.

I had an uncle whose house had some kind of low voltage system. The switches were rockers and they were huge -- there was no faceplate because the rocker covered the entire box. The surface of the rocker was clear Lexan or some such, and there was a mirrored finish underneath it. The house was built in, I think, 1964.

I had mentioned before how my grandmas finished basement had a storage room with a slater switch and neon indicator. Today I looked at a house with a finished basement from the same era and the storage room had a Slater switch and neon indicator.

My neighbor Missy's house has the "Despard" or interchangeable style devices. They are original to the construction in the mid 30's. My dad's aunt & uncle's house built in '36 also had this type. Legrand/Pass & Seymour still makes them and the matching wall plates.

I forgot that's what those were actually called. They were popular for a long time, one place in particular was bathrooms in the 70s-80s. I'm curious why they pretty much stopped using them starting in the 90s, code changes perhaps?

when I redid my house, I actually used a NOS Despard plug and switch in the kitchen for the main light with a vintage bakelite switch plate (brown).
Looks real cool.
And yes, you can still get brand new Despard switches and plugs, including three prong outlets.

Went and looked at Lowes today and was reminded that they dropped Cooper and went with Hubbell. I didn't take a close look cuz there was like 10 people blocking the aisle. With BlowesCheapot changing more and more stuff to inferior quality overpriced goods with a house brand on it, I'm surprised they haven't done it with the wiring devices yet.

- Abstract
Controversies related to Indian trawlers crossing into Sri Lankan waters of the Palk Bay have repeatedly been the subject of newspaper headlines in both India and Sri Lanka since 1990. The first aim of this paper is to provide grass-roots insights into the post-war status of the north Sri Lankan fishing population and how their recent recovery has added a new dimension to the Palk Bay conflict. The second purpose is to create a better understanding of the nature of this conflict and to analyse the relevance of existing and proposed governance responses. Contrary to popular perception in India, this paper argues that since the end of the civil war in Sri Lanka the nature of the conflict in the Palk Bay has changed from one in which Indian trawler fishermen were faced with the Sri Lankan navy, to one which sets them primarily in opposition to the technologically less advanced Sri Lankan fishermen. It concludes that the governmental and fisher-based efforts to settle the conflict are ineffective as long as Indian parties do not acknowledge the nature of the conflict and the Sri Lankan authorities do not bring the fishermen and their government closer together.

- Excellent value with great tread life
- Stellar handling on dry and wet pavement
- Amazing all round winter performance
- Cornering on icy surfaces could be improved
Accidents are a common occurrence when driving in the winter. If you live in an area where snow and ice happens regularly, you need a set of dedicated winter tires, otherwise you risk harming yourself or others. The Michelin X-Ice Xi3, one of the best studless winter tires on the market, is specially designed to keep the drivers of coupes, sedans and minivans free from harm in the winter.
They deliver high-levels of grip and handling on wet, snow, slush and ice covered surfaces without sacrificing performance on dry pavement.

The X-Ice Xi3 molds Michelin's special Flex-Ice silica formula rubber compound into a directional tread design. What's so special about the silica formula you ask? Well the silica keeps the rubber flexible at lower temperatures to enhance traction on snow and ice, while also providing the firmness needed for responsive handling and stability when the weather gets warmer.
The only weakness the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 has is its performance in deep snow. The tread pattern just doesn't dig in as well as a more aggressive tread would. Although the shallow tread depth helps with that dry road feel, it hinders deep snow traction.
The Michelin X-Ice Xi3 offers great overall handling, impressive longevity and low road noise.
So how does the X-Ice Xi3 respond in the rain?
Because of the tire's directional tread design, water is channeled away from under the tread. This ensures you grip the road and stop with ease should an emergency braking scenario occur. The Michelin X-Ice Xi3 sticks to the road on slippery surfaces without sliding or spinning. Thelp with this, the tire features unique cross Z sipes that increase the number of biting edges for thunderous grip in the snow.
Braking is superb and definitely lives up to Michelin's claim that the X-Ice Xi3 stops up to 10% shorter than other leading winter tires. They produce a resounding feeling of confidence when braking and turning on sheets of ice without any slipping or sliding.
They grip the road with the utmost authority. With a set of Michelin X-Ice Xi3s on your vehicle, you can know with certainty that you can get to wherever you need to go regardless of the weather.
For a winter tire, you'll be shocked at how quiet and comfortable X-Ice Xi3 is.
The Michelin X-Ice Xi3 remains stable and balanced at all speeds. The tire's internal structure features two steel belts that are reinforced with spirally wound nylon. This increases trength and durability, while a polyester cord body promotes greater ride comfort.
The Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is available in sizes ranging from 15 to 18 inches. Backing the tire is a 6 year or 40,000 mile tread guarantee. As with most tires, Michelin recommend that you use the X-Ice Xi3 in sets of four for optimal performance. And of course to show the tire meets the industry's severe snow requirements.

I am so glad that I didn't have to go out on Saturday. It's a good thing I'm paranoid about reading and listening to weather forecasts even though I find that they are never accurate. It's better to be safe and warm than cold and sorry. We got our first dump of the white fluffy stuff. Yes, it snowed. A LOT! While I enjoy tramping through the snow in its pristine condition, my back and arms will not thank me for it. Moving that amount of snow by shovel requires a sound heart and tight muscles, most of which I do not have, and I won't even venture to wonder about the ticker. It looks like we'll have a white Christmas after all. Well not me, I'll be on vacation, in a hot, sunny Caribbean country. No winter wonderland for me this Christmas. Oh well, I won't consider it a complete loss since I've got January, February, March and who knows perhaps even April to have my fill of the deep freeze, fluffy white stuff or not.
Got to go and get me some warm milk. Shovelling snow is hard work and requires several hours of selfish tlc after that. See below if you don't believe me.

Why do young children forget where they learned information? The relation between source monitoring, theory-of-mind understanding and suggestibility

In Study one, Fifty young children (3- to 5- year-olds) watched a video and were then interviewed about the video by a Knowledgeable interviewer, who had watched the video with the children, and a Naive interviewer, who had not seen the video. Children were asked yes/no recognition questions, half of which contained misleading suggestions. After five to seven days, children were asked the same yes/no recognition questions by a third Naïve interviewer. Children then completed a source-monitoring task Followed by three theory-of-mind tests. Study two followed the same methodologies as Study one but with an increased sample size (72 children), more differentiated interviewers, an increased number of target items in the video, and forced-choice questions were used instead of yes/no questions. We predicted that (a) children who passed the theory-of-mind tasks would have more accurate source-monitoring scores than children who failed the theory-of-mind tasks, and (b) children who passed the theory-of-mind tasks would be more resistant to the suggestions of the Naive interviewer than the Knowledgeable interviewer. Although children's source monitoring scores were quite low, children more often correctly identified the video as the source of their memories than either of the interviewers. It was found that children who failed the theory-of-mind task reported suggestions from both interviewers equally often, while children who passed were unexpectedly more resistant to suggestions from the Knowledgeable interviewer than the Nav̐e interviewer. However, in Study 1, as children's source-monitoring skills increased, they were more likely to resist suggestions from the Naive interviewer than the Knowledgeable interviewer.

In the first part of this series, I shared the ideal whole experience we hope to be having with our patients. (Read it here: invmag.us/10162.) Much too often, though, we are not providing that ideal scenario. Fixing that means eliminating the circle of confusion and that starts with the first two of my 4 Point Formula for Focused Sales Success: Contact Point and Focus.
Contact Point
The moment patients contact you, their subconscious instantly forms an impression. Before conscious thought can decide if doing business with you is a good idea, they already have a feeling about it. So let's consider how your patients feel about your office.
When they call, does your staff answer by the second ring, or do they fall into a voicemail black hole? Is your receptionist prepared to take patients' messages as they are spoken or do you hear "What's your name again?" or "Can you hold, I have another call?" too often?
Patients want to feel special and that they've made the correct decision coming to you."
If patients walk in as their initial contact point, does the entry look appealing? Is there a welcoming feeling, a smile from the receptionist? If not, you have blind spots. Patients want to feel special and that they've made the correct decision coming to you. Phones can be ringing, a patient may be complaining about his glasses, a staff member may have just called out sick, but if your receptionist is smiling through it, it sets a positive tone. When the phone rings, does the patient standing there still get the immediate attention he deserves, or has someone suddenly stepped in front of him?
Contact Point is about receiving; that's why it's call reception! We are receiving information patients give so we can solve their problems. Contact Point is the foundation of the whole circle. You only get one first impression.
The focus or "image point" of your office is the patient. If you think about your office as a movie set, the patient is the star. We understand this in theory, but making it a daily reality may be hard when staff is busy. Personal or business conversations in front of patients, or staff not checking with those waiting, create detachment. If patients feel ignored, it's reflected in their purchases.
Focus requires attention and positive words that continually care for patients. It's good vibes and caring conversation that fosters trust and shows them they made the right choice choosing your office.
Asking about their lives, or offering some water while they wait goes a long way. Letting them know much longer it will be, or if there's a delay — all these ways of offering personal attention keep the focus where it belongs: on them.
Be aware of situations that blur the connection. You're holding your clients' hands from start to finish. If your goal is to increase productivity, profits and positivity for all (of course it is!), your office needs to focus on one goal: patient care that will put you head and shoulders above your competition.

Humans vs. Zombies begins, bloody showdown starts today
In just a few short hours, the blood bath will begin with Western's annual Humans vs. Zombies ultimate campus showdown.
WAC decided to add a few rules this semester to make the game more fair and challenging. Students that live off-campus are not allowed to participate due to an unfair advantage. All players must have their printed registered ID number on them at all times or they could be disqualified. Bands must be worn and visibly seen every day on campus.
"I'm just hoping for a fun, safe game," Chance Umstattd, HVZ event planner said. "Last year it got a little crazy with the safety, but hopefully this year everyone has fun and keeps safe and that people want to come back next year."
WAC has officially notified the students that if any unsportsmanlike conduct such as shoving, hitting, bum-rushing, rough housing or anything else of that nature occurs, HVZ monitors will immediately notify the police. According to the monitors, last year there were quite a few issues that involved rough play.
Though some students were disappointed at the new rules, over 100 eager students filed in line to register. Many of them are hoping for the same fun that they had last year.
"It was extremely fun being chased by massive numbers of zombies," participant Cody Benowitz said. "I met a lot of new friends, and I had a lot of fun."
Participant Gabriel Saldana also had fun last year and enjoyed meeting a lot of people that were big into the game just like him. Though Saldana hopes to stay human for a while before a zombie catches him, he admits that playing on the dark side is still fun.
"Being a zombie isn't too bad," Saldana said. "Running around campus late at night was very fun."
Participant Rachel Monson said the suspense in last year's game was the best part for her. She never knew when she would die and be turned into a zombie.
"I like seeing how serious everybody takes it," Monson said. "I also like having to run to and from class to not get caught."
This year the game will include a number of missions that alter the game guidelines to make the attacks more fun. By the end of this week, ultimate zombies will appear. If tagged by an ultimate zombie, the human will be "dead" and their game will end. Though this year's participants are fewer then last year's due to off-campus students not being able to participate, Umstattd thinks the game will still be fun as long as people abide by the rules.
"Just follow the rules and don't be a jerk about the game," Umstattd said. "Have fun and play fair."

Report Intro/Brief:
"Objectives. Medical marijuana laws (MMLs) have been suggested as a possible cause of increases in marijuana use among adolescents in the United States. We evaluated the effects of MMLs on adolescent marijuana use from 2003 through 2011.
Methods. We used data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey and a difference-in-differences design to evaluate the effects of passage of state MMLs on adolescent marijuana use. The states examined (Montana, Rhode Island, Michigan, and Delaware) had passed MMLs at different times over a period of 8 years, ensuring that contemporaneous history was not a design confound.
Results. In 40 planned comparisons of adolescents exposed and not exposed to MMLs across states and over time, only 2 significant effects were found, an outcome expected according to chance alone. Further examination of the (nonsignificant) estimates revealed no discernible pattern suggesting an effect on either self-reported prevalence or frequency of marijuana use.
Conclusions. Our results suggest that, in the states assessed here, MMLs have not measurably affected adolescent marijuana use in the first few years after their enactment. Longer-term results, after MMLs are more fully implemented, might be different."

VINTON, LA (KPLC) - Frills, feathers, and lots of Mardi Gras magic. It may not be Fat Tuesday just yet, but the town of Vinton's Mardi Gras is already is full swing.
It's a community coming together all in the name of some Mardi Gras fun.
But once the parade got its start, it's everyone for themselves.
One parade goer said, "I got all the candy!"
Another parade goer said, "I love all the food and candy for the kids."
While the candy was a big hit, so were the beads.
"I'm here for the parades," said one Vinton resident. "I like catching the beads!"
Because the more the beads the merrier.
"It's the thrill of catching them," said another parade goer. "Not much you can do with them afterwards, but it's the moment you catch that's special."
And it may be Mardi Gras on a smaller scale, but that's the same reason this town wouldn't want to have it any other way.
"We have a lot of culture in our town, because it's so small," said one Vinton resident. "It's like a big celebration with everyone gathered around."
There was also a gumbo cook-off earlier in the day.
