Review #407 – Bulleit Cask Strength Batch 1
Review #407 | /r/Bourbon Review #231 – Bulleit Cask Strength Bourbon
The Schtick: At the time of this writing (March 2017) – this product was a KY exclusive. It has since been re-released with CONUS wide availability.
Distiller: Undisclosed (Is the CS Four Roses?)
Bottler: Bulleit (KY / Diageo)
ABV: ~%55 (Exact detail coming from source)
Source: r/scotchswap sample
Nose: Honey and lots of dough here. Sweet corn, a good deal of vanilla and some mild clove. It's really quite nice – really sweet focused with spice taking the backseat.
Taste: Rich mouthfeel – the proof does really well here. Reminds me of dessert – cocoa, clove, vanilla and toffee. There's a little cinnamon kick but nothing like an OWA red hots bomb. There isn't much clove or tannic oak – just a strong focus on everything sweet. A little corn too but even that blends to vanilla in the end.
Finish: Long, much more spice here than the nose or palate. It's not overbearing but it's here. More sweetness pops back up – makes for a nice blend of this, also.
Overall: I didn't know what to expect from this but I really enjoyed it. I haven't formally reviewed the standard bottling or the 10yr but now it's on my short list to get to. I was pleasantly surprised, for going in blind as far as expectations, I left a fan. Solid quality and it really goes to show what proof, rather than age, can contribute to a bourbon.
Thanks for reading!

Bill Kristol thinks the last three years haven't been serious war-making
Reported by Chrish - February 27, 2006
Only a war-mongering chickenhawk like Bill Kristol could smirk as he told the Fox News Sunday panel that ""We have not had a serious three-year effort to fight a war in Iraq". 2/26/06
During the panel discussion of the increased violence in Iraq and the fears of civil war, Kristol repeatedly said that Zarqawi was trying to destroy Iraq, and "we" need to crush Zarqawi., and said that the day after the Shiite mosque was bombed, Bush should have come out and committed 15,000 more troops.
Comment: I recall from grade school that "we" is a group which includes "me". Kristol's soft white hands are the trademarks of an armchair general who knows nothing of war but maps and philosophy. He further exhibits his callousness by saying we shouldn't exaggerate the deaths in Iraq; after all, there were 30,000 killed in France after their liberation, and many other countries in the world have "ethnic tensions and low-level violence". Apparently it is all acceptable to him in his safe and luxurious life. The "general" continues, with questions from Chris Wallace:
What is causing the trouble here is the terrorists. There would not be civil war if Zarqawi had not spent the last 2 1/2 years, had ex-Saddamists with him, very skillfully going on the offensive slaughtering Shia in Karbala, now blowing up the mosque.
CW: They're there, there are going to be more mosques to blow up, so what do you do about the terrorists?
BK: Kill them. Defeat them.
CW: We've been trying!
BK: We've been trying, and our soldiers are doing terrifically, but we have not had a serious three-year effort to fight a war in Iraq as opposed to lay the preconditions for getting out.
Ceci Connelly: I think that really begs the question then: what have we been doing over there for three-plus years, and you say there hasn't been a serious effort to rid that region of the terrorists. I just wonder what Secretary Rumsfeld would say in response to that or all the U.S. soldiers who have been over there all this time.
BK: The US soldiers have been fighting terrifically well, but Secretary Rumsfeld's plan was to draw town to 30,000 US troops at the end of major activities.
Krauthammer saved the day for Wallace, who looked stunned, by saying that ultimately the Sunnis would withdraw support for the outsiders (which I took to mean the same people Kristol and Wallace had been calling terrorists, not the US troops), which is "the only way you win the insugency."
Comment: War hero John Murtha calling for measured steps for withdrawal was accused by Fox and BushWorld of undermining troop morale. Cindy Sheehan is routinely accused of undermining troop morale. Left-leaning blogs are exorciated by Bill O'Reilly and his ilk for undermining troop morale. Accusing Bush of misleading us into war is undermining troop morale. War protesters, criticism of foreign policy, it's all undermining troop morale.
So what is it when one of the architects of the war, one of the biggest chickenhawks, says there isn't enough fighting and dying going on? UNDERMINING TROOP MORALE!

Is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) necessary by itself?
Created February 14, 2010 at 4:32 PM
I have been on the paleo diet for 6 weeks now. I have taken flax seed oil for few years in order to get some omega-3's into my diet. Now I have added fish oil to my diet and I am getting around 2,5 grams of omega 3 from fish oils per day. The question is about the flax seed oil, since it contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which the fish oils do not is taking flax seed oil adding some benefits to my diet or should I skip it?

The short answer is: no. You don't have a specific need for plant-based omega 3, fish oil is better. The longer answer is that if you're getting enough o3 from fish oil, you'd be better to minimise the ALA. It will lack many of the benefits of EPA/DHA, but it will still have the downsides of PUFA, of being especially easily oxidised. Humans are so bad at converting ALA into the proper form that it's very much not worth it, even once flax has been passed through a chicken into omega-3 eggs, not all of the ALA is converted and you'll be left with a significant amount of the less useful stuff.

In essence: yes, I do think there is a need for ALA intake on itself, even in abundance DHA and EPA intake.

While many people think that Yoga is a religion, this is not the case at all. Yoga originated more than 5,000 years ago and helped practitioners gain stability and relaxation to prepare themselves for the rigors of meditation.
Yoga, in itself, means to join or unite. It's a form of exercise that's based around the beliefs that your body and mind are intimately connected, and that by controlling your breathing you can gain balance between your mind, body, and soul.
If you're just beginning your journey into the discipline, then this guide will help you in understanding yoga and the context of the practice.
This is done through various poses, or asanas, and can help you establish harmony, and a balanced approach to your life. At it's core, Yoga helps you take over the "driver's seat" in your life, by controlling your body, your breath, and your mind.
While Yoga practice in itself is very simple and straight-forward, achieving a fine balance between all 3 aspects of your life can be difficult and take years to achieve the true centered feeling that yogis strive for.
Yoga is not actually a religion, in the sense that it doesn't have a philosophy of it's own. Because of it's foundation in Eastern religion, it's often associated with religion. The closest form of religion to Yoga is actually Hinduism, with one of the six major schools of Orthodox in Hinduism actually being called "Yoga".
Yoga has 5 different "yamas", or principles & ethical rules, along with 5 "niyamas". The "yamas" are: chastity, non-greed, truthfulness, non-violence, and non-stealing. The 5 "niyamas" are centering on the Divine, self-discipline, self-study, purity, and contentment.
These are all virtues that you attempt to achieve when you begin practicing yoga, in it's traditional sense.
Along with the 5 Yamas, there are also 5 Niyamas that help finish the path of ethical discipline.
Along with Yamas and Niyamas, there are also different branches of yoga. Some forms of practice have actually combined multiple paths, to form a new yogic traditions. For the most part, each path of Yoga is based on the teacher's particular style, or approach to how they practice asanas.
Ananda Yoga, at it's foundation, is a blending of spiritual and physical self, and focuses on a series of asanas called "energenization exercises" that revolve around tensing and relaxing various parts of the body.
These exercises, coupled with focused breathing helps to prepare practitioners for extended meditation.
Ashtanga Yoga is a more rigorous type of yoga and can be related more to the type of training that professional athletes receive.
It's the most intense form of yoga and combines six different asanas that are linked to your breathing to emphasize your balance of strength, flexibility, and stamina. It's often called "Power Yoga".
Integral Yoga combines every aspect of practice, asanas, pranayamas, or breaths, selflessness, chanting, prayers, meditation, and self-study.
It's more on the meditative side of practice than physical, and focuses on being at ease with your body, at peace in your mind, and useful in your life. Integral Yoga is a lot more gentle and meditative than other forms of practice.
Iyengar Yoga became popularized in Western societies, and follows the teachings of master BKS Iyengar.
It revolves around alignment of your spine, arms, and legs, and practice tends to be very slow and deliberate in nature. Most classes are focused on very few asanas, with support being provided through various props to help you achieve perfect posture.
Kripalu Yoga focuses on meditation while you're moving between asanas. It's emphasis is based on your mental and emotional awareness, and asanas are held for long periods of time so you're given a chance to explore your inner self.
Practice ranges from gentle in the first stage, to moderate in the second stage, and strenuous in the final stage where you're surrendering to your body.
Kundalini Yoga focuses on your reservoir of built-up energy inside of your body, at the base of your spine.
By placing emphasis on your breathing techniques as you move through asanas, along with chanting and meditation, your energy is directed from the base of your spine through your energy centers, or chakras.
Sivananda Yoga is one of the few that includes aspects of your dieting into your overall practice.
You begin each class with mantras and chanting that help you center, before beginning a series of breathing exercises, sun salutations, and twelve classic asanas.
In between the strenuous Ashtanga Yoga, and the more precise, exact Iyengar yoga lies the Viniyoga path.
It combines asanas, breathing, meditation, prayer, chanting and rituals along with studying of texts, images, and active counseling. Most Viniyoga classes are conducted in one-on-one sessions to help you get the most out of the practice.
Understanding the 5 Yamas, 5 Niyamas, and different paths of Yoga will help you learn why you're practicing, along with the right type of practice you need to be doing to achieve the goals that you have set for yourself.
One style of yoga may be better suited to people who are active in sports, while other styles of yoga are going to be more catered towards people looking to slow down in life, get centered, and find their true self.

Eugenics; In the Name of Progress - Part I by Brauna, Grzegorza
Scientific Relevance
The biosocial movement called eugenics involves improving human hereditary traits by promoting higher reproduction of more desired people and traits, and reducing reproduction of less desired people and traits. Inspired by Charles Darwins theory in evolution, famous scientist Sir Francis Galton developed eugenics in the late 19th century. His work on eugenics was the foundation for US eugenics programmes such as the one lead by Charles Davenport in Cold Spring Harbour, mentioned in this film.
Social Interest
The eugenics social movement had its heydays in the early 1920s. Many countries had a policy involving the promotion and practice of eugenics which could include racial segregation, birth control, forced sterilization. Also, Hitler was known to be inspired by eugenics and the genocide inflicted by Nazi Germany has been connected to eugenics. The popularity of eugenics declined drastically after the Second World War. Nowadays, eugenics is known for its massive human rights violations, such as violations of privacy and reproductive rights, violation on the right to live and discrimination.

A big-hearted romantic comedy in which the First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales after an incident of international proportions forces them to pretend to be best friends…
First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep's genius granddaughter, they're the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations.
The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince. Alex is busy enough handling his mother's bloodthirsty opponents and his own political ambitions without an uptight royal slowing him down. But beneath Henry's Prince Charming veneer, there's a soft-hearted eccentric with a dry sense of humor and more than one ghost haunting him.
As President Claremont kicks off her reelection bid, Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret relationship with Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. And Henry throws everything into question for Alex, an impulsive, charming guy who thought he knew everything: What is worth the sacrifice? How do you do all the good you can do? And, most importantly, how will history remember you?
I don't like politics in my MM romance.
I don't particularly care for younger MCs (and by younger, I mean less than 25).
I'm not the biggest fan of famous MCs.
Now you know why I didn't request this from the publisher through NG sooner. But I'm so glad I did!
What am I a fan of? Banter, relationship angst, separations, and steam. And this book delivers on all of it!
First off – the writing. Casey McQuiston may have this debut novel on her hands, but she's clearly been workin' it for a while. She goes from snarky banter to moving prose to fit the exact sensation of the moment.
When Alex was a kid, before anyone knew his name, he dreamed of love like it was a fairy tale, as if it would come sweeping into his life on the back of a dragon one day. When he got older, he learned about love as a strange thing that could fall apart no matter how badly you wanted it, a choice you make anyway. He never imagined it'd turn out he was right both times.
The beginning 40-50% of the book was utterly enjoyable, completely due to the banter.
And then the angst! I just love how one MC pulled and the other pushed, and no, no, no…..you WILL NOT just ignore me. Sigh. The teeny, tiny separation was the best part of the book for me.
My reason for rounding down is because the last part of the book was ALL about the election, and the romance lost some of the spotlight. Others have loved it, and the turn in that direction made complete sense, but…….meh.
Overall, MUCH better than I thought it would be! Definitely recommend this one to MM romance lovers!

The home ministry's deputy minister Ahmed "Maaz" Saleem was dismissed from his post on Wednesday.
Saleem was first appointed to a political post when President Abdulla Yameen came into power. The reason for his dismissal is not yet known.
So far, there has not been any official statement from either the government or Saleem.
Saleem was known as an active participant in Yameen's presidential campaign to get re-elected, beside First Lady Fathimath Ibrahim for the past two months. He had also joined the first lady on the campaign trip to the islands of Alif Alif atoll last week.
He had also played major roles in the home ministry during the Independent 50 celebrations in 2016 and other events.
Saleem came into the political scene beside the former home minister Umar Naseer. However, they have not been seen together since Umar's resignation in mid-2016.

Justice or victimisation: Did Nawaz Sharif launder $4.9 billion to India?
In the latest update on Pakistan's political sphere, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) accused former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of laundering $4.9 billion to India. The order by the antigraft authority to probe Nawaz for money laundering allegations came in light of an article written in an Urdu newspaper, Ausaf.
In its press release, NAB stated that on the basis of the opinion published in the newspaper, it is initiating an inquiry into the alleged scam. It seems that in its bid to convict Nawaz at any cost, the institution of NAB has made a mockery of itself. Any sane individual can tell no one uses the banking system to transfer illegal funds, especially not in their own name, particularly if they are also a world leader, and obviously not to a country considered an enemy state. Technically speaking, this should be impossible, as the security agencies of our country keep a close eye on any financial transactions made with India in the first place.
Soon after the NAB allegation, the World Bank issued a clarification that its report was not based on actual figures, and was just an estimate of the remittances the people who migrated from India to Pakistan were sending back to India. It further clarified that Nawaz's name was never mentioned in the report.
If only NAB Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal had studied this report, or read its rejection by the State Bank of Pakistan back in 2016, he would have saved himself and his institution from becoming a laughing stock. Moreover, releasing a press release on the matter without any solid evidence also gave the impression that NAB is being used to victimise political opponents, the way it was used in Musharraf's era.
Firstly, the money laundering allegation from NAB will have negative international impact. While Pakistan is already being put on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list for not being able to control money laundering by banned outfits, the allegation of money laundering on the former premier will further damage our chance of making it out of the grey list.
Additionally, this blunder on part of the NAB prompts the question of whether or not the country's anti-graft authority is crossing its constitutional limits, and is only interested in initiating inquiries when they pertain to the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
While cases from past years remain pending, NAB's focus right now seems to be only on elected representatives in Punjab, and that too, those belonging to the PML-N. There is no serious action on the inquiries against the officials of provincial tourism and highway departments for misappropriation and embezzlement in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa(K-P) , or the allegations against the billion tree tsunami project, or the misuse of provincial government helicopters by Imran Khan.
An institution with a history of victimising its opponents can do nothing worse than to act only on the opinions of writers and analysts. As a society, we all have the habit of gossiping about self-created theories and believing in allegations without any proof. So NAB's current witch-hunt has already created a doubt in the minds of ordinary people that our former prime minister was involved in money laundering. TV channels ran this story round the clock; with the perception being created that Nawaz must have had something to do with $4.9 billion being laundered to India.
We live in a world where perceptions are perhaps more important than reality and the truth, which is why once negative perceptions are created, it is very difficult to change them. The verdict regarding the 2013 General Elections is an example in this regard, where the judgment rejected allegations of rigging, yet there remain millions out there who still believe the elections were rigged. This suggests NAB's allegation may have already done its fair share of damage.
This move indicates that fake news and propaganda has not only gripped the masses, but has also damaged the working abilities of the decision-makers as well. There are lot of other cases pending in the NAB and there is almost zero progress on them; one hopes they are not being filed merely on perceptions and opinions. Few of the pending cases include illegal appointments in NAB as well as the cases against Sharjeel Memon and Dr Asim Hussain, and against Aleem Khan's Housing society, but the institution of NAB is only focusing on selective cases involving the current "out of favour" PML-N leadership. Accountability needs to be crystal clear and across the board, so it gives the impression of justice, not of victimisation.
On the other hand, Nawaz's stance seems correct – it does seem like he is being targeted, with his party being a victim of pre-poll rigging.
In retaliation, Nawaz asked for Iqbal's resignation within 24 hours, and in response, Iqbal addressed an hour-long seminar meant to act as a rebuttal to former's allegations. Iqbal stated he is only conducting an inquiry into the matter, and has no intention of maligning Nawaz or anyone else. The verbal war between the ruling PML-N and NAB will only result in further damage to the institution of the state. NAB has the right to conduct an inquiry on suspicion, but it does not have the right to bring it to the media fore without having substantial proof. This surely has tilted the balance in favour of Nawaz's narrative of victimisation, because after the World Bank denying the allegation, Nawaz will cash in political points by highlighting the issue in jalsas and in the media.
The other side of this fiasco that still has not grabbed the attention of the media and decision-makers is the business of fake news. In this matter, NAB has launched an inquiry on the basis of an opinion published in a newspaper, so it is necessary the author of the article be summoned and asked to present proof of the allegations he has levelled against Nawaz. Opinion-making is a business of responsibility, as it affects the perception and the mindset of the masses.
After all, just a few months ago, after the brutal rape and murder of Zainab Ansari, we saw the worst form of yellow journalism when a respected TV anchor accused high officials of the Punjab government of having ties with child porn mafia, and accused the perpetrator of having multiple foreign bank accounts. When he was asked by the Supreme Court to present evidence in support of his allegations, he was unable to prove or present any evidence in the court, and tendered a written apology after backtracking from his claims.
It is high time that the trend of journalists accusing others without any evidence is put to an end in Pakistan. If this practice of fake news and exploiting journalism to settle personal grudges and scores is not stopped, we will see further incidents like this, and it will only make a mockery of our institutions in the world. In this case, whether NAB is a victim of fake news or whether it is out on a witch-hunt to undermine opponents still remains to be seen. Only the future course of actions, hopefully unbiased and professional steps, will determine what the truth is.

Gaslighting is a tactic of behavior in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality. It works a lot better than you may think. Anyone is susceptible to gaslighting. It is a common technique of abusers, dictators, narcissists, and cult leaders. It is done slowly, so the victim doesn't realize how much they've been brainwashed. In the movie Gaslight (1944), a man manipulates his wife to the point where she thinks she is losing her mind.
People that gaslight use the following techniques:
1. They tell you blatant lies.
You know it's an outright lie. Yet they are telling you this lie with a straight face. Why are they so blatant? Because they're setting up a precedent. Once they tell you a huge lie, you're not sure if anything they say is true. Keeping you unsteady and off-kilter is the goal.
2. They deny they ever said something, even though you have proof.
You know they said they would do something…you know you heard it. But they out and out deny it. It makes you start questioning your reality—maybe they never said that thing. And the more they do this, the more you question your reality and start accepting theirs.
3. They use what is near and dear to you as ammunition.
They know how important your kids are to you, they know how important your identity is to you. So that is one of the first things they attack. If you have kids, they tell you that you did a disservice by having those children. They will tell you that if only you weren't _____________, you'd be a worthy person. They attack the foundation of your being.

Weightless Workout - Strength Training Without Equipment
If you haven't already, it would benefit you to read the previous article, "Weight Training for Weight Loss?" at http://www.weightlessproducts.com/free-weight-loss-articles/weighttrain.html Resistance training, also known as strength training, does not require a gym membership. It does not even require an expensive home gym. In this article, you will discover the secret of isometric training and its effectiveness for muscle growth.
Weightless Strength Training: Still requires a warm-up, with stretching afterwards. Still requires protein to increase musculature. Can be more effective than lifting weights, because you can "max out" Is safer than lifting weights, and can be done without equipment of any kind. Requires just a bit of experimentation to determine proper position. Consult your physician regarding chronic problems before starting.
Before and After Just like lifting weights, you should always warm up before isometrics. This means a light jog or other low-impact activity that will raise your heart rate and raise your core temperature by a few degrees. This should last at least 5 minutes, preferably 10 or more. After this, you should do joint rotations. This is not a stretch, it is preparing the joint for work by encouraging blood flow. Then, do the resistance training. At the end, stretch all of the joints you have worked that day. Studies have shown that stretching before strength training actually reduces the muscle's capacity, and does not prevent injury as was previously thought. Stretching after the work out will protect the joint and prevent cramping. Maximum Overload Anyone who has done a little research into muscle growth knows that what triggers muscle growth and strength gains is overload of the muscle.
If you can do 20 reps with 20 lbs, you're exhausting the muscle, not overloading it. If you pile on 100 lbs, and can only do 3 reps, this is ideal for lifting weights in a gym. But it is still not the maximum overload possible. Your goal for the most efficient workout is to flex with all your might during a partial rep (the range of motion where you can exert the most power). You can't really accomplish maximum overload at all using conventional weights. For one thing, you'd need a spotter to hand you the weights when you're in the optimum range, and you'd have to instantly get a perfect grip on them. Furthermore, what weight do you use? You can't be sure how much stronger you've gotten since your last workout, if you put too little, you're not maxing out, and if you put too much you'll drop it and risk muscle injury. The answer is easier than you think. Get into the optimal range, then press (or push or pull) on something immovable. You can exert your absolute maximum force, and there's no danger.
That's Isometrics: Intense muscle contraction at an ideal muscle length without moving - because the muscle is acting against an equal force. About 10 seconds of maximum force is the most that anyone can sustain, so try to aim for 3 sets of 10 seconds for each exercise. Ideal Length Your muscles aren't made to exert the same amount of force throughout their range of motion. You have a weak range and a strong range. The ideal length for isometric exercises is at the muscle length where you can exert the most force. It is different for each muscle, and varies a bit person to person. For this reason, you may have to experiment a bit by varying the positions I recommend below until you feel the most force. How do I perform weightless exercises? Let's start with the chest muscles, called the pectoralis (major and minor). Using standard equipment in the gym, you would normally use a barbell bench press or a dumbell flies. To convert this into an isometric exercise, you may think that you can just do the same action against a wall, since the wall is immovable.
But that's not true, because it's really your legs that are pressing your hands into the wall, not your chest. (Try it!) This would only work if you were in a narrow hallway, with one wall against your back, and your palms flat against the opposite wall. That way you'd be pressing with your chest. However, unless you're 9 feet tall, most hallways will be too wide for you. There are two practical ways to do the isometric chest exercise: sqeezing an object (one that won't be easily crushed) between your palms, or pressing your palms together (since one side of your chest should be about the same strength as the other, each arm should provide exactly the right amou! nt of resistance for the other arm). For most people, the ideal muscle length for the pectoralis is nearly fully contracted. If you were doing a standard dumbell flye or a bench-press, that's the top of the action, with the weight almost fully pressed away above your chest. So, when trying to crush a wooden box between your palms, or pressing your palms together, your arms should be nearly fully extended. You should have a small bend in the elbows, and your wrists, elbows and shoulders should be level.

Rebecca Kerri
The Love Story...
Rebecca and I met two and a half years ago, our first date was at Mixteco Restaurant in Chicago. We laugh about the fact that when we first met we were both so busy with work travel that we probably saw each other twice a month for the first few months, and there may have been a date at the airport (over terrible sushi!) which was the only way we could actually spend time together.
Bex and I value similar things - our family, being good people who contribute and make a difference in society, and great wine, to name a few! We have settled into a new home together in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, with Connor our 6 year old Maltese mix and Charlie, our newest, fluffiest addition, and couldn't be more happy and thankful for our life together.

Calling your opponents un-American and agitating for the most extreme pro-abortion position doesn't just get you the attention of Daily Kos or Democratic Underground. It can get you props from a mainstream women's magazine.
Elle revealed its list of the 10 most powerful women in D.C. on Wednesday – and included NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue as one of the top picks. Hogue recently accused pro-lifers and tea partiers of "lying and cheating," and posited that anti-abortion means "anti-American"(even when 58% of Americans want all or most abortions illegal).

Properly installed a TRANS-CORDER(tm) can act as an effective safeguard for your expensive on-board electronics.
Once wired into the vessel's electrical system, the TRANS-CODER (tm) will constantly monitor the vessel's electrical system.
The beauty of this device is that it not only records the magnitude of the voltage transient but it sounds an audible alert when ever a transient occurs. This allows one to know what component in the electrical system is causing the transient.
When the alert sounds, all one has to do is ask, what system just activated or deactivated and you will know positively where the transients are coming from.
Then installing a transient protection device such as our ALPHA SORB ( tm) device on that component and your electrical system can be made much safer for all your expensive electronics and ensure enhanced reliability.

What's the most common mistake made by homeowners when buying window treatments? Getting proportions wrong.
Little design sins make all the difference in the finished appearance of a room. Learn how to get scale and proportion right from our window treatment experts who address:
Scale and Proportion: What's the Difference?
Scale refers to the size of an object compared to the space it's in. Proportion is about relationships. Are the different elements of a room — or a window — in harmony?
Functional or Decorative?
This has a lot to do with the selection of a window treatment, advises our in-home consultant at Calico. Does the window treatment need to clear French doors? Protect from hot afternoon glare? Provide privacy? Or enable you to see a television or computer screen without an eyeshade? Understanding what the room requires will lead to the appropriate design solution.
"Even in window treatments that are purely decorative, such as stationary side panels, the amount of fabric should approximate — not equal — the amount in a functional treatment or the end result may look skimpy," she suggests.
Window treatments must be appropriate to the room: not overdone in a room that's short on architectural details, and not skimpy in a room of grand scale. Rooms with high ceilings offer more options. "However, if you don't have the height...discipline is required," advised designer Mark Hampton in his classic book, Mark Hampton on Decorating. "It's like being on a perpetual diet. Big valances and swooping swags are out," he noted. Fortunately, there are lovely window treatment styles for small-scale rooms using fan pleated draperies on small rods, or petite window swags and jabots, or Roman shades set within (or above) lovely moldings. The use of beautiful materials and careful workmanship will elevate the simplest design, stated Hampton.
Fabrics must also be drappable enough for the chosen window treatment style. Most upholstery-weight fabrics don't have a soft enough hand for a swag, jabots, soft valances or shirring that all require natural drappability. There are other, more tailored window treatments that work well with heavier fabrics.
Side Panels and Scale
One width of 54-inch fabric pleats or shirrs down to about 18 inches — usually not enough for side drapery panels unless your windows are quite small, advises our in-home consultant at Calico in Dallas. For most windows, 1½ widths of fabric will make a more pleasing side panel — and for two-story banks of windows, at least two widths are needed. For functional window treatments that open and close, the width to be covered will dictate the number of fabric widths needed.
Depth of Returns
Pay special attention to returns in a home with very high windows. Tall window treatments often need a deeper return to hang properly — at least 5½ inches for a single drapery (with no under drapery or sheers) and as much as 8-10 inches for really tall windows.
"Pulling the window treatment out from the wall on a large window enables the drapery to hang with deep pleats and folds that enhance the richness of the fabric," notes our Dallas in-home consultant. "Without that depth of return, the drapery will appear too flat." (Note: the return is the distance from the wall to the drapery — usually measured for a side bracket or rod support. Standard returns are 3½ inches).
Length of Pleats
Small tight pleats — as in pencil pleated, pinch pleated or fan pleated draperies — are perfect for smaller-scale rooms. Conversely, pleats need to be over-size in very tall window treatments, at least 6-inches long. A too-short pleated drapery will look squat on a tall window treatment — and may even be hard to see. Calico offers a standard 4-inch pleated drapery in pinch, cartridge, goblet, butterfly and pencil pleats, plus a 3-inch mini-pleated drapery and a 6-inch oversize pleated drapery in some styles. Longer pleated draperies can be ordered for very large windows.
Top Treatments and Scale
Is there a rule-of-thumb for how long to make window valances, cornices and other window top treatments? Not a hard and fast rule, but there are guidelines. Start with the Rule of Fifth or Sixths: divide the finished length of your drapery by five or six to determine the approximate finished length of a valance or swag. For example, a drapery with a finished length of 100" might have a window valance that is 16" (1/6) to 20" (1/5) long.
For window treatments mounted just over the window, use the smaller figure; for window treatments that will hang near the ceiling, use the larger figure. However, there are many factors that might fudge the answer — the height of the ceiling, the number of windows in the room, the presence of moldings, the proportions of the window, the pattern in the fabric or the desire for light — not to mention personal preference!
Our in-home consultants sometimes recommend taking brown kraft paper or newspaper, folding it to a window valance size and taping it to the wall area above a window. Stand back, squint your eyes, and you'll begin to read the volume of space a window valance would occupy. Should it be a little more or less? Do you want to take it up close to any molding to maximize room height and get more punch from the fabric? Or will it look top-heavy? Play with folding your paper window cornice or valance until it seems right.
The window valance should cover the header (pleats or shirring) of the drapery, the hardware and the frame of the window. A very wide window may require a somewhat deeper valance to be in proportion to the draperies on each side.
If making a shaped window valance or cornice, the longer it is, the more variation you need between the short and long points of the design. "A customer was having cornices made for her 20-foot high windows," recalls one in-home consultant. "We specified a long point of 30-inches on the cornice and when they came into the store, I was afraid that we'd made a terrible mistake. However, once they were installed, the cornices were perfect — and they had to be that size in order to look appropriate capping these very high windows."
Rods, Rings and Scale
With the variety of drapery rods available these days — from diminutive to grand in scale — it's easy to find the right window hardware to finish off the window. The size of the room, the height of the windows and the scale of the treatment will suggest the appropriate drapery rods and rings. A twisted length of wrought iron rod will look great in a standard-height room, but not hefty enough in a large room with vaulted ceilings and huge windows. Window Hardware.
Tieback Placement and Proportion
Remember the Golden Mean (if not from geometry class, from the Da Vinci Code)? The ancient Greeks discovered the mathematical basis for pleasing proportions of shapes and spaces — from buildings to objects, from fashion to window treatments.
If we apply the Golden Mean to where tiebacks are placed on draperies, it is more pleasing to the eye if they are placed high (about 1/3 down) or placed low (about 2/3 down). It's prettier to have a long fall of fabric coming out of the tieback, or coming into the tieback — rather than placing them in the middle and cutting the fall of fabric in half. Tassels and Tiebacks
You can also think of the length of the drapery in units of five — and place tiebacks down two units from the tip or up two units from the bottom — leaving three units on the other side. This is also within the Golden Mean.
Educating your eye about scale and proportion will be useful throughout your life — in everything from gardening to cooking to fashion, and of course, home decorating.
