You know you have harmonics, because you've seen the graphical display on your harmonics analyzer. The big question is: "How do I get rid of them?" The answers lie not in magic, but in applying fundamental principles and possibly a few specialized cures.
In the third and final part of our series, we conclude our discussion with specific countermeasures to combat harmonic distortion. In Part 1 (March 1998 issue) and Part 2 (May 1998 issue), we learned that much of the panic surrounding the issue of harmonics is largely due to misunderstanding what the shape of a waveform means to a building distribution system.
Harmonics are not always going to present measurable problems. However, they can and do create havoc in many situations. Some possible problems include overheating of distribution transformers, adverse effects on electronic equipment, and system resonance with power factor correction banks. Potential sources include computers, lighting ballasts, copiers, and variable frequency drives.
In this installment, we'll look at countermeasures you can employ when installing variable frequency drives. But implement these countermeasures with care. Harmonics do not always create problems. Thus, spending time and money to carry out all of the key countermeasures is not always a good investment. If you know harmonics are causing problems, then you need to apply the countermeasures in a methodical fashion. If you can't detect problems from harmonics, scale back your countermeasure efforts.
Guidelines that address harmonics share a common goal: to maintain the quality of electrical power at the point of common coupling (PCC). You meet such a goal if you limit the harmonics-induced voltage distortion at the point of common coupling. So, what is this "point of common coupling?" It's the interface between sources and loads. Most experts select the primary of a feeder transformer as the PCC, and measure there for distortion.
Do you have a problem resulting from harmonics? Do estimates show future facility expansions may push voltage distortion limits over 5%? If so, consider using the following countermeasures to reduce current distortion. This will have a dramatic impact on voltage distortion levels.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). In the United States, most variable frequency drives (VFDs) go into commercial (HVAC) applications. Consequently, this is the fastest growing market for VFD manufacturers. In this market, the cumulative average growth is just over 9%. People install VFDs to reduce total power consumption. These VFDs reduce the load on the feeder transformer (see Fig. 1, original article). This reduced load reduces the heat in the transformer core. In 95% of applications (assuming you follow the 80% transformer loading rule), voltage distortion will not exceed specified standards.
Furthermore, if you retrofit drives that incorporate SCRs (in the power conversion section) with drives that incorporate diodes (to rectify the incoming voltage waveform), you eliminate voltage notching. Accomplishing this does not require additional hardware. Fig. 2 (original article) shows the waveform to expect if you measure the current waveform at the input terminals of the VFD.
A Fourier analysis may show current distortion levels between 20% and 110%, with resultant voltage distortion levels of 1.5% to 4%. These values depend on the system characteristics, including amount of impedance and preexisting distortion levels. If the transformer impedance is high, the current distortion will be relatively low (soft system). If the transformer impedance is low, the current distortion will be relatively high (stiff system). See Rule of Thumb #9 in the sidebar.
Variable Frequency Drive with DC link choke. Most VFD manufacturers incorporate a DC link choke (Fig. 3, original article) into some of their VFD models. In some VFD models it's standard; in others it may be an option. A DC link choke is simply an inductor in the ripple filter circuit, ahead of the DC bus capacitors. The added inductance limits the rate of change of line current relative to time (di/dt) into the capacitors. This results in lower peak currents. Fig. 4 shows the waveform to expect if you measure the current waveform at the input terminals of a VFD with a DC link choke.
A DC link choke reduces current distortion typically by 40% to 60%. This may not have a quantifiable impact on the measured voltage distortion. In the specification process, it's typical to substitute a DC link choke for a three-phase input reactor. Consequently, designers use this same technology in other equipment to control harmonics. See Rule of Thumb #10.
Variable Frequency Drive with three-phase input reactor. It's common to specify an input reactor when ordering a VFD (Fig. 5, original article). The reasons include high frequency noise filtering, increased protection from surges (that may result from power glitches or lightning strikes), and harmonics reductions. You can see a typical input waveform in Fig. 6(original article). Engineers size reactors according to percent impedance and the resulting voltage drop after drawing full current through the reactor. Typical values are 3% to 5%, with 3% reactors being more common. A reactor simply adds impedance to the system. This impedance slows the di/dt of the current flow into the capacitors of the drive. The result is a lower current distortion level. The effect is the same as having a high impedance transformer.
A 3% input reactor will reduce the current distortion by about the same percentage as a DC link choke (40% to 60%). Be aware you can easily reach the point of diminishing returns regarding impedance and current distortion levels. Laboratory testing reveals, after 7% input impedance, the distortion levels do not drop much. An input reactor may be two to three times the cost of a DC link choke, and may be overkill for just harmonics mitigation. See Rule of Thumb #11.
A few VFD designs capitalize on the flexibility of using two 6-pulse rectifiers in parallel (Fig. 7, on page 44, original article). This virtually eliminates power harmonics through phase manipulation. Typically, phase manipulation is a result of converting power through a specifically designed transformer called a 12-pulse transformer. This transformer is different from an autotransformer or a phase shift transformer because the impedances balance properly on the secondary side. This type of transformer effectively eliminates the 5th and 7th harmonics in the core of the transformer. Since these harmonics contribute to approximately 90% of the harmonic spectrum, using this method allows very high-density packaging of drives to transformer size. The result is pretty close to a pure sine wave (Fig. 8, original article) measured at the input terminals of the transformer. See Rule of Thumb #12.
The 12-pulse input transformer allows you to reduce current distortion levels by 90% and meet strict power quality specifications, such as IEEE 519-92. Most installations do not need cancelation of harmonics. With the transformer not fully loaded, you should have enough capacity to provide clean power to all equipment.
Passive and active harmonic filtering. Sometimes, it's possible to design a filter that will eliminate specific harmonics. It's also possible to implement a device that will actively sample the incoming waveform and inject harmonics to cancel detrimental harmonics. We call the first method passive harmonic filtering and the second active harmonic filtering .
Most trap filters employ a design that eliminates the 5th harmonic. Trap filters do this by providing a low impedance path for that harmonic. Suppose you have a concern about the 5th harmonic. We know its frequency is 300 Hz on 60-cycle power. So, you can install a filter that will trap all 300 Hz frequencies. This option is usually expensive when compared with other countermeasures. Active filters are more complicated than this, and therefore are usually even more expensive.
Other countermeasures. Other countermeasures include transformers with higher K-factor ratings, other filtering techniques, and phase shift transformers for powering different VFDs. Each of these carries a tradeoff. For example, the higher K-factor transformers can actually worsen your power quality problems if you apply them incorrectly.
In addition to harmonics-specific countermeasures, pay attention to your grounding, bonding, conductor sizing, conductor routing, and transformer loading. Implementing these basics of power distribution per the NEC can go a long way toward resolving harmonics problems. Fig. 10 (original article) compares four major countermeasure techniques.
Specifications. What guidelines should you apply if you have too much harmonic distortion? Rule of Thumb No. 13 can help you out. Here's what the typical contractor encounters:
Input Harmonic Distortion: The VFD data shall include calculations proving that the primary side of the input isolation transformer or AC line chokes draws no more than 4% fifth harmonic current of the rated full load running fundamental current. The VFD manufacturer shall make any and all modifications to the drive necessary to guarantee meeting this requirement.
In one field study (done after the installation of many VFDs), THD of the current (ITHD) was 110% at the input terminals of the VFD. If an engineer specified the most effective countermeasure in the industry before checking the voltage distortion, that engineer could have needlessly divested the company of thousands of dollars. In this situation, the total voltage distortion (VTHD) measured 2.2%. Another field study shows before appropriate countermeasures, ITHD was 21% and VTHD was 6.1%. Both examples focus on the pulsed current waveform in an attempt to control the quality of the power system. This may not be the most prudent approach. A better specification might be:
VFD shall not increase the voltage distortion above 5% at the input terminals of the VFD or line filters. If calculations show otherwise, the manufacturer shall make all modifications to the drive necessary to meet this requirement.

Hamilton Township Police Responding to a Threat
Earlier today, Hamilton Township Police responded to a threat for the area around Unami Boulevard in Mays Landing. Students and staff at nearby schools are safe; the Atlantic County Courthouse was evacuated.
Updated 2:26 PM -- Please be advised that the Township of Hamilton Police Department are continuing to act on information they received concerning the Hess School. Police have also responded to the Shaner School after receiving additional information. All students and staff are safe. Students from Hess School have been evacuated to the William Davies Middle School and will be dismissed from there. Shaner students are currently being evacuated to the St. Vincent School and will be dismissed from that location.
Updated 2:00 PM -- Hess students were taken to Davies Middle School; parents can pick-up their children after 2:30 at Davies, according to The Press of Atlantic City.
Updated 1:04 PM -- According to Lynda Cohen at The Press of Atlantic City, police are at the Hess Educational Complex, which is near Unami Boulevard, and the Atlantic County Courthouse, which is also off of that street. Both of those facilities have been evacuated as a precaution. The nearby Atlantic County Institute of Technology is on lockdown.
Updated 12:28 PM -- The Hamilton Township Police Department says, "all students and staff [at Hess School] are safe. However, no one is permitted inside the building until the situation has been resolved. Afternoon Preschool session is cancelled for today."
Sheriff Frank Balles tells the Press, "The threat was made for Unami Boulevard and mentioned a specific judge."
If possible, avoid the areas around Babcock Road and Atlantic Avenues in Mays Landing due to a heavy police presence.

Video surveillance is the hot new thing. Tech market think tank ABI Research has just come out with a new study predicting that the global video surveillance market will "expand from revenue of about $13.5 billion in 2006 to a remarkable $46 billion in 2013." In a press release only Philip K. Dick could love, ABI gushes excitedly about all the fun new uses of the vidcams and databases you could be manufacturing, buying, and selling to the surveillance-craving masses.
The release reads, in part:
"Security" is the word on everyone's lips these days, but there is more to this dramatic market growth than that. Video surveillance finds uses in a variety of vertical markets such as retail, education, banking, transportation and corporate business. And it's not always about security: new facial recognition software can analyze shoppers' behavior within stores, for example, tracking eyeball movements as shoppers view product displays.
European video surveillance markets are more mature than those in North America (some say the UK, with its 4.1 million surveillance cameras, is the most monitored society on earth), but massive deployments are also now taking place in North America and, in connection with the upcoming Olympics, in China . . .
But while digital technology offers advantages - higher resolution, easier searching and retrieval, and more efficient storage - many of the traditional security resellers of analog equipment are not yet comfortable with digital, and a massive retraining effort is going to be required.
"This is a modern version of the California gold rush," [ABI vice president Scott] Schatt concludes, "except that people are bringing cameras instead of pickaxes and shovels."
I just love the idea of a surveillance gold rush. Plus, the blithe way ABI points out that surveillance goes beyond mere security into "new facial recognition software [that] can analyze shoppers' behavior within stores" is pure gold. If you think this is rank speculation on ABI's part, though, you'd be wrong. Companies like VideoMining are already providing this very type of surveillance for stores, tracking shopper behavior and trying to figure out patterns.
Ah, the future looks so bright. I'd better make sure I'm filming everything that happens in it with hidden cameras. Image via NYC Indymedia.

Folks here at our HQ love racing cyclocross, and the 2 days of the UCI North Carolina Grand Prix in Hendersonville are definitely a highlight of their racing calendar. One of our bike buyers, Ben, decided to step up to the big leagues and test his skills at this UCI Elite event, so we thought a Q&A was in order about his weekend (and cyclocross in general). For more highlights and interviews from the race, check out Cycling Dirt (a great source for cyclocross coverage in general). Here are their highlights from the Day One Men's Race at the NCCGP.
Why do you race cyclocross?
I race 'cross because it's just flat out fun! People are always there to cheer, there is always plenty of beer and food at races, and the attitude is more layed back than a Pro 1/2 road race… plus it's not 3 hours long like a Cat 1 mountain bike race!
How long have you been racing?
I have been racing CX for 4 years, but racing bikes for almost 20!
What do you ride?
I race on a Fuji Altamira CX Carbon with full SRAM Red components and a Reynolds Carbon 32 wheelset.
So who were the big guns in the race?
Starters included Belgian 'cross star Ben Berden (kickin arse in the USA right now), 'cross Zen master Adam Myerson, and regional stars like Travis Livermon, Jake Wells, and Ryan Knapp.
What was it like racing a UCI elite cyclocross race? How was it different than local 'cross races?
It was a whole different level of fast, there was nowhere to hide and the pace never let up. It was flat out with sharp elbows into the first 3 turns and then on the gas until the race ended – it was amazing seeing someone like Berden drop the field.
What was your worst day racing 'cross?
Worst day racing 'cross was more of a training day. I was doing a hard interval and washed out and snapped my fibula… it was a rough ride home.
What was your best day racing 'cross?
It was a total mud fest 2 years ago in Fayetteville during a January winter series race. I ended up only getting second but you couldn't see an inch of my kit after the race was done, it was awesome!
Probably the Merry Crossmas beer handup in last years Merry Crossmas Elite race – it was Foothills bottomless pints!
Favorite beer?
Right now, Left Hand Milk Stout… that could change any day though.

Getting wifi to connect at boot up (Solved)
Subject description: Hard drive install of RetroPrecise Puppy version 5.4.3 - wifi setting not saving
I have installed RetroPrecise Puppy version 5.4.3 on a laptop hard drive (no other OS).
It boots perfectly and works well.
My one problem is my network setting for connecting to the wifi are not starting automatically when I reboot. I have to go through the Network Wizard (SNS doesn't appear to work for me) every time I boot to get a connection.
I have saved the profile for my network connection so I just load that each time and then click the DHCP link to get an IP address and then I'm off. I using Puppy to post this.
Interestingly when I test the wlan0 connection and it passes I get the following dialogue.
NETWORK CONFIGURATION FOR wlan0 SUCCESSFUL!
Do you want to save this configuration?
If you want to keep this configuration for next boot: click 'Yes'.
If you just want to use this configuration for this session: click 'No'
The only 2 buttons I get at this point are:
[OK] and [Cancel]
So, no 'Yes' option to save the configuration.
So, my question is how do I get the wifi connection to be active from boot up.

I encounter same issue on Puppy-528.005 with frugal install or Live CD startup.
Just tried *Frisbee* and it's working.
Thank you,
Hopefully, in the future, *Frisbee* will show up in the *control panel* as well as the *menu*?

Post subject: booting into wifi in areas served by different wifi routers
Subject description: Frugal install of 5.4.3 onto pendrive
I had been using Precise Puppy as it comes from the .iso, without adding any pets. If you use wifi from more than one location I would very much recommend adding the frisbee pet, mentioned by cthisbear in an earlier post
Like some of you I have been having issues with the supplied wifi networking. It does not like connecting at wifi hotspots in a well known restaurant chain. It seems to get confused as each location is stored under the same name but appears separately in the list of profiles. It seems impossible then to connect to any of them.
Interestingly, sometimes if the same laptop has recently connected from another distro (WattOS, a derivative of Ubuntu) then Puppy does connect OK. (recently seems to mean about a day, and may be the length of the "lease" from the hotspot's dhcp deamon - but that is only a guess)
Anyone wanting to try to fix the supplied wifi system might like to investigate the interaction with the feature of commercial hotspots where all your web requests are diverted to the log in page until it has verified your identity. It is only locations that work like this that seem to cause Puppy a problem. This may be a clue or a red herring.
Anyone, like me, who just wants something that works should take up cthisbear's suggestion to use frisbee instead (link in cthisbear's post near the top of this thread). That software copes correctly with connecting from diverse locations at different times.
Big thanks to cthisbear
for the suggestion
Also, if you might be doing this, it would be a sensible precaution to download the pup file when you are connected safely (maybe through the supplied network wizard) so that you have it on the machine to install in the event that you do need it. It is less than a quarter of one MB so it won't take a lot of room even if you never find you need to install it. When the wifi fails to connect is not a good time to want to download new software
It seems to me that the supplied wifi setup system is more suitable for a Puppy running at just one place (ie, always connecting via the same router) and gets confused when used in a portable device. Those responsible for the next minor upgrade may want to include frisbee instead? (To be fair, I have not assessed its performance on wired connections)
Hope this helps anyone else in this situation.

When utilizing any type of online dating website, Christians must have priorities with their first priority in being a Christian and your relationship with God. God will provide guidance in seeking the perfect Christian mate but one must find the perfect online dating website for this important venture.
God's plan for all his children is to have someone special to share their life with. One wants to ensure that the online dating website they choose is specifically for single Christians. The world of the internet has numerous temptations for not only Christians but also non-believers and one who is dedicated to God must be able to triumph over these temptations. A true Christian's duty is to associate themselves with a genuine Christian dating website.
Seek god's advice before enlisting the dating services of an online dating website. One must have high standards in seeking a Christian mate. There are numerous factors to consider when embarking on this journey. Are you willing to meet someone who is considered a "baby Christian"? Are you willing to date people outside of your religious denomination? These are only a few of the questions one must ask themselves before embarking on the services of an online dating website.
It would be wise before meeting a Christian from the online website to find out their goals in dating and if they match ones personal goals they have set for themselves. The ultimate goal of Christian dating is to find a spouse while maintaining the foundation of God within the relationship and ultimately marriage.
Unbelievably, dating people from an online dating website is not much different in comparison to meeting other Christian's offline. The same specifics are present and just as important when on the dating scene.

One of the best things about attending a luncheon meeting at the J. Smith Young YMCA involves the opportunity to eat some of the Y's famous yeast rolls.
One of the best things about attending a luncheon meeting at the J. Smith Young YMCA involves the opportunity to eat some of the Y's famous yeast rolls.
I enjoyed not only the yeast rolls but also the baked spaghetti, salad and pecan pie Thursday when I spoke to the Lexington Kiwanis Club. Parker McLendon, who attends the same church as I do, asked me to speak to the group.
Public speaking terrifies some people, but I've always enjoyed it. When I first became editor in early 2006, I spoke to a few groups in the county. Participants in Leadership Davidson County, a program sponsored by the Lexington and Thomasville area chambers of commerce, also have heard me a few times. In addition, I used to lead tours of our building for school groups. But that doesn't occur very often anymore, since we no longer print The Dispatch in Lexington.
So I looked forward to speaking to the Kiwanis Club and sharing some of my thoughts about The Dispatch and the newspaper industry in general. The fact Parker brought me a bottle of Cheerwine, since I had mentioned my love for the beverage to him for his introduction, was just icing on the cake.
I took advantage of modern technology, too, and decided to put my notes on my iPhone. Normally I would have typed something on a piece of paper. But my sister, a Presbyterian minister, mentioned she now uses her iPad for her notes, so I thought I'd give it a try. It worked well, although I need to keep the phone in an awake state longer so the screen doesn't go blank while I'm speaking.
Many of the points I made would be familiar to readers of this column. I always like to begin talks by polling those in attendance about how they receive news, and I was pleased that most read The Dispatch, either in print or online. News is also available through our mobile application, Facebook page and Twitter feed, too.
That's quite a change from when I started in 1989. A printed edition that arrived between lunch and supper was the only product The Dispatch produced. Today, we use a variety of mediums and products to deliver news to residents of Davidson County.
I strongly believe it's important for those residents to be informed about what's taking place in their community. Knowledge allows us to be more engaged in our community and know what issues exist. Civic-minded citizens can then engage their elected leaders, participate in democracy and take action to address issues that arise.
That's a point I especially make when speaking to Leadership Davidson County participants. The program aims to groom aspiring leaders to take on leadership roles in their companies, agencies and volunteer positions. As leadership transitions from veterans to younger folks, the importance of knowing what issues the community faces becomes paramount.
I also told the Kiwanians that I believe journalism has a strong future. Our industry, like many, has faced many challenges over the past decade. But I continue to see enthusiastic young people enter the profession, armed with a love of writing, curiosity and desire to share important information with others. This encourages me, as I think there will be a place for trained journalists for years to come.
The club members asked some good questions that covered paying for news online, advertising challenges, coverage areas and more. One member spoke to me after the meeting to express his appreciation for our local focus.
And that was my main point. Citizens today have multiple options to find state, national and international news. But The Dispatch remains the best source to find out what's happening in Davidson County. That ranges from city council, commissioner and school board meetings, school features, high school sports, nonprofit news and so much more.
I closed with my favorite quote about journalism: "Newspapers deliver the first rough draft of history." That's an important role, and one I believe we'll continue to fulfill for many years to come.
If you're involved with a group and need a speaker, give me a call. An offer of homemade yeast rolls or Cheerwine would be an enticement but not a requirement.

O'FALLON - After the first 30 games, the Guilford boys bowling team is in second place with a 6,535 pinfall, while Hononegah is sixth (6,263) and Harlem is eighth (6,237) at this weekend's IHSA boys state bowling tournament at The St. Clair Bowl.
Senior Brett Sprecher, a transfer from Boylan, led the Vikings during Friday's rounds with a 1,369 six-game pinfall. He is 12th individually. The tournament concludes Saturday with the top 12 teams advancing and top 30 individuals not on a qualifying team.
"He (Sprecher) had a good day," said Guilford senior Alex Sommer, who had a 1,281 pinfall for third-best on the team. "He had a couple of tough spots, but was able to pull it out."
The Vikings, who finished sixth at last Saturday's Boylan Sectional, came out strong in Game 1 firing the day's highest score at 1,232.
"Our team was fairly consistent all day," Guilford coach Brad Sommer said. "Many key strings of strikes where helpful to keep us near the top of the leader board. Our spare game was excellent today and the bowlers really supported each other nicely."
Seniors Sam Dobel was second for the Vikings with a 1,351 pinfall, Trustin Givens was 1,281 and Daltin Kafka was 1,253.
Guilford, which won the 2011 state title, is hoping to chase down O'Fallon, which leads the Vikings by 171 pins.
"The team is looking forward to getting on the lanes (today) and going for it," Sommer said.
Hononegah, which finished third in 2012, was led by sophomore Clay Coogan, who had a 1,368 pinfall and is in 13th overall.
"He bowled awesome today," Hononegah coach David Cliffe said. "He had a good day all day long."
The Indians had five of their six games with scores over a 1,000. Cliffe said his team remains in the hunt for a title.
"After a 1,169 the first game I thought we would finish stronger than we did," Cliffe said. "We did manage to battle all day to give ourselves a chance going into Saturday. The boys need to bring their A game for Saturdays round."
Harlem coach Greg Huckmuth echoed the same sentiments. The Huskies also had just five of their six games over 1,000, and will need to make up some ground Saturday.
"We didn't execute our shots well as a team," he said. "We needed to come out and make some quality shots."
Harlem junior Joe Heathscott paced the Huskies with a 1,308 pinfall.
Individually, Freeport's Chris Wiley stands in 22nd place after posting a 1,334 pinfall. Dixon's Ryan Dixon was 71st at 1,244, followed by teammate Joel Spangler (96th, 1,180) and Belvidere's Kyle Pattalio (97th, 1,179).

The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope is shooting a freakin big laser into space, to create a virtual star to compensate for the Earth's atmospheric interference.
The resulting star appears to be in the center of the Milky Way, although it's just 56 miles up. This commonly used technique allows the VLT crew to adjust their adaptive optics system, a set of adjustable mirrors that compensate for the blurring caused by the Earth's atmosphere. Explains Space.com:
The laser is precisely tuned to energize a layer of sodium atoms found in one of the upper layers of the atmosphere. This sodium is thought to be a remnant of countless streaking meteorites. When hit by the laser's light, the sodium atoms start glowing, forming a virtual star the VLT can use as a reference.
Astronomers use this technique to obtain sharper observations. For example, when looking toward the center of our Milky Way, researchers can better monitor the galactic core, where a central supermassive black hole, surrounded by closely orbiting stars, is swallowing gas and dust.

Lee Brice Strips Down in Not So 'Hard to Love' New Video
Singer-songwriter Lee Brice (who has penned hits for the likes of Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney) has a lot of country star credibility in his own right. His just-released new video, 'Hard to Love' — from latest album release 'Hard 2 Love' — proves that Brice's star power is rising… and fast.
Brice's sophomore album comes on the heels of his hit debut record 'Love Like Crazy,' which was released in 2010. The talented songwriter has already racked up a hit single with 'A Woman Like You,' hitting No. 1 before he even released his second album.
On April 24, the day that 'Hard 2 Love' hit shelves, the South Carolina native held an intimate CD release party at Joe's Pub in New York City to celebrate his latest work. Although he toured with a full band, playing rocking, raucous sets last fall, Brice stepped it down on Tuesday night as he took his seat and played a stripped-down set for his fans.
His 'Hard to Love' video shows elements of this recently-revealed rawness. The video shows Brice under soft, white lights, singing about his insecurities — and the respect he has for the woman in his life.

Post subject: Not So Elegant Portions at 1 Year
I was really excited when I found NoS about a year ago. WOW! What a concept, to just ignore all the diet "experts" and simply eat like a NORMAL person...
I still love the approach. Weight loss was slow, but I didn't have an awful lot to lose, and my eating habits weren't too bad to start with. After about 4 months, I hit a plateau and decided to not worry too much about it, just continue with the program and give my body some time to adjust.
In July, I did buy a sledge hammer and fell in love with Shovelglove, especially its results. After only the third day of using it, my husband made his first comment that I sure was looking good. Of course, by that time I had lost about 15 pounds as well, but it was still a definite encouragement.
In September, life happened. I travelled 700 miles away from my family to help care for a relative dying from cancer. The expected few days turned into six weeks. And then shortly after I arrived back home, a close friend who was diagnosed two years ago took a nosedive and died as well. Talk about stress and temptations to pig out...
However, through it all, at least TRYING to follow NoS kept things somewhat reasonable. Very few days were completely green, but neither were they all-out binges. Daily walks and Shovelglove were an outlet to keep me sane rather than a way to burn calories.
Two rules proved lifesaving:
(1) No random eating. Even when I failed at the basic No Snacks rule, trying to keep to 3 meals prevented total chaos.
(2) Drink lots of water, but no water bottle allowed. I had to force myself to get up and walk into the kitchen to get a glass of water for a REAL drink, no sips here and there. It is amazing what a difference this rule made in my total daily movement, and how much of a mental break just leaving the sick room for even one minute provided.
And then it was the holidays...
My HabitCal is still far from totally green. But it IS getting better. At present the hardest rule for me to keep is No Seconds.
Even during a highly stressful time, thanks to NoS my weight has remained stable within a 5-pound range for 7 months. Would I like it to be lower? Of course. But I am thrilled that at least I did not gain, and my BMI is considered Normal rather than Overweight. I also know that my portions have NOT been quite so elegant as of late. There is definitely room for improvement without feelings of deprivation, and I am looking forward to another year with NoS.

Thanks for this thoughtful checkin!
I'm sorry you've had such a difficult year -- but glad that no-s helped. Especially in stressful times, "maintenance is progress," and it's great that you recognize that.
Best of luck in 2015,

I am browsing after a hiatus. Condolences on your losses, but so glad to hear that you felt you had the foundation of eating to keep it from getting too crazy. I've had my falls, but No S has also supported me through some very trying times. It's amazing that we can forget that things are actually better when we stick to the "comfort" of moderation. (I'm talking to myself.)

Year 2 UPDATE: Another year of success sort of following NoS!
Soon after posting this testimonial last year, I got serious and actually followed vanilla NoS for awhile. But my weight remained stable, and I knew I needed to figure out ELEGANT portion sizes. So for awhile I counted bites and was thoroughly shocked at how little food really is a decent portion for my body and activity level.
Without any particular goal in mind, I conducted an experiment paying more attention to just how I felt eating less and less food within the framework of NoS. Within a few months I found a "good" level of hunger (just hungry enough for the next meal), and dropped the bite counting. I began to see numbers on the scale I haven't seen since 2003!
Then just before the holidays, we brought a newborn foster baby home from the hospital. I dropped Shovelglove in favor of lifting & carrying this other weight that was 7 lbs. & daily growing. My activity level in no way resembled what it had been for the previous 6 months and I would have STARVED had I not begun eating more. Habitwise the holidays were terrible, and yes, I definitely overdid the upward adjustment.
But my weight remains within the normal range, I am at peace with food, and NoS gives me the framework of sanity I need to live life without having to give food more attention than it deserves.

Congratulations, elegantportions! This is great news all around. Watch it with the baby lifting, though -- it's far more dangerous than shovelglove, I've found.
I'm so impressed at your patient,, effective self-observation -- and delighted that No-s could provide a framework for it.
Best to you and your growing family in year 3,

This device features extremely low quiescent current which is typically 1.1A. Dropout voltage is also very low, typically less than 200mV at the maximum output current of 150mA. The AAT3221/2 has an Enable pin feature, which when asserted will enter the LDO regulator into a shutdown mode removing power from its load and offering extended power conservation capabilities for portable battery powered applications.

3 Ways to Improve Writing During Revision
Even more amazing is the math. The whipsnap can do basic addition and subtraction in his head. I've got 30 years on him and I haven't mastered that skill. He reads and writes on par with his grade level, although his handwriting resembles drawings of spiders--but this is considered normal. What's interesting to me is that it's already clear where his strengths are. Math comes naturally to him and when I asked him what he likes better, math is the unequivocal answer. This, despite reading incessantly with him since he was a wee baby, and me concentrating on the reading and writing with him.
At least it tells me where his strengths and weaknesses lie. Chances are, I don't have to coach him much on math, while he can use a bit more help on his reading and writing.
As I go through serious, hardcore revision on my manuscript, it's become very clear that if I can discover my weak areas of novel writing, then I can really attack those. You can, too--and your result should be a kick ass story.
But how do you find your weaknesses? Here's how:
1. Look for patterns in your critiques.
My light bulb moment came when I realized almost every reader I've ever had for every story has said I write great dialog--which is wonderful to hear. Similarly, a pattern emerged in the serious critiques: my characters tend to be passive (because I am passive), which surprised me and therefore I rejected. I said, "They totally are NOT passive! I wrote her specifically to be strong!" And yet, my characters were passive in subtle ways. Realizing that was huge for me, and I'll always be on the watch for that--and more importantly, looking out for ways to improve it.
2. Find what comes hard in writing for you.
Making my characters take clear action versus stepping back and assessing a situation hasn't been my MO. It's a good bet that the things I want to stick my head in the sand about are the ones I need to work harder on.
3. Identify what you love.
This is the flip side of the finding what comes hard coin. If you know what you love doing--I love writing dialogue, and it flows pretty easily--then you know you have that set. You should challenge yourself. If you love writing description about fantastical worlds and the creatures that live there, right down to the color of fur on their horns, then you should probably pay close attention to character motivation, or dialogue, or plot--anything other than description.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to add? I'd like to know!

I'm on the umpteenth revision of my memoir, and my weakness screams at me loudly and clearly: STORY ARC STORY ARC STORY ARC. Novelists may call this plot, but in memoir, we don't have plots. My scenes are full of conflict, but the conflict isn't RISING (I'm going to write a post about this), and that's what I'm working on in this revision. And I did learn that by having several people read my ms and give me similar feedback. I highly recommend people in critique groups have their readers read their book at some point. Otherwise you end up in my boat - with a lot of perfected chapters that don't build up to a strong climax.

Couldn't agree more, Meghan, and I definitely felt the lack of overall plot/arc feedback in our group. Good luck--you know the issue, and you can tackle it.

Ha HA I just volunteered for my daughter's K class today. i got out of the Parent's table (where the parent gets to lead a small goup of kids in an activity or game) since they had an intern to help. I did get to do arts and crafts (aka cutting shaps and gluing them on paper for later projects) while I listened to the class. it really is amazing what they are teaching kids in grade K. I guess with the amount of knowledge they have to learn, you've got to start earlier...
Now on to your advice. :}
Hm... I wonder what my weaknesses are. Spelleing and grammar for sure, but I have two Grammar nazi friends to help with that. Of course my work hasn't seen a wide critue audience yet. But you've got me wondering... I know I tend to be passive myself. I wonder if I have the same issue. I'd like to think not. But it'd probably be better if someone else tell me if it was aproblem.

I'm about to launch a site, sort of a community like AO. I have no trouble with the computer side of the website, but what leaves me clueless is the legal side of owning a website. What baffles me is the terms of services, privacy polices, buisness licenses, and all that legal stuff.
What my goal is, is to have a very successful site, very similar to the makeup of AO. If there is someone out there that is viewing this post with a legal background, I could use some advice on where to go and what I have to get done to make sure than I'm in a good legal standing with the site. Do I have to get a lawyer? Do I need certain permits? Ive had websites before but nothing that was worth advertising. So yeah, anyone with this kind of experience, I could use some advice. Thanks

So sometimes, Sci gets questions, and sometimes those questions...are close enough to requests. And so, today Sci will begin what is probably going to be an extensive basic series on oxytocin. We ALL love oxytocin, right? Right! And we all missed Sci's big honkin' basic science posts right? Of course right!
So the question basically came down to this: What are the effects of oxytocin in female vs males, in particular the effects on sexual and bonding behavior, and how does this influence the autonomy of people (eg, are we really the tools of our hormones). The short answer: yes and no. The long answer: is very long. So today Sci is going to begin with a background post on oxytocin, what it is, where it acts, and some basic functions. The next post will be on effects of ocytocin in females specifically, and then a post on ocytocin in males specifically. And then, the synthesis. And interspersed in there, a few Friday Weird Sciences. I mean, oxytocin makes for some GREAT weird science. 🙂 Keep in mind, though, that although Sci has done a boatload of research getting ready to blog this topic, she by no means going to hit ALL of EVERYTHING. She might have to blog some specific papers in the future, and she definitely welcomes anyone willing to chime in the comments with more info!
So here we go.
Oxytocin is one of the two major hormones which are secreted from an area of the brain called the posterior pituitary (the other one is called vasopressin, and is involved in water regulation, though it also has been known to curl the toes of male voles).
Before we get into oxytocin specifically, it occurs to Sci that that last sentence was really complicated. So we're going to need a quick lesson in beginning endocrinology.
Let's start with what a hormone is. We hear a lot about hormones in our daily lives. Ah, that guy's voice is breaking, heh, hormones. Those two teenagers are fondling each other in public. Heh, hormones.
But hormones are much more than just things that influence your sex life. Hormones can have three major types of action: autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine. Autocrine refers to chemicals released from a cell that have an action on that same cell (like negative feedback, where a cell releases a chemical that hits receptors on the same cell, and stops further release of the chemical). Paracrine refers to chemicals released from a cell that have actions on other cells nearby (like neurotransmitters). And endocrine (which you've probably heard of) refers to chemicals released from one type of cell and have effects on other types of cells or tissues (like insulin, which is released from the pancreas, and has effects everywhere else, or like the hormones you typically associate with horny teenagers). And the really wild thing about hormones is that a single chemical can be acting as ALL THREE of these things at once, autocrine, paracrine, AND endocrine.
Oxytocin, along with vasopressin, is secreted from an area of the brain known as the posterior pituitary. Located here:
(See how it dangles there? Calling the pituitary the nutsack of the brain would not be entirely inappropriate.)
The posterior pituitary is the one further toward the back of the head. But oxytocin is not made there, it's actually made ABOVE the pituitary, in the area of the brain called the hypothalamus (The supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei, if you want to be all particular about it), and the cells within the hypothalamus extend all the way to the posterior pituitary, allowing oxytocin to be made in one place and released in another.
So oxytocin is made, and when stimulated correctly, the brain releases it. Oxytocin has endocrine actions throughout the body. It plays a very big role in sexual arousal and orgasm in both sexes. In women, oxytocin is VERY important in stimulating uterine contractions prior to birth, so much so that oxytocin is given to induce labor, and drugs that antagonize oxytocin are used to suppress it if labor is premature. Oxytocin also plays a huge role in milk letdown in women, allowing them to nurse.
But oxytocin doesn't just act on the body, it also has some rather big impacts on the brain. Some studies have shown that oxytocin has strong effects on trust and generosity, making it an important chemical in human social interaction. In addition to these big effects, there may be roles for oxytocin in autism, in depression (particularly in females), and of course in things like social bonding.
So that's a brief introduction to oxytocin. Next time we're going to discuss the specific, known roles for oxytocin in women, especially in labor and during milk letdown, and some of the social bonding aspects. Stay tuned!

Who makes my day?
First, thanks to Gitte and Knitography, who honored me with this award. Now, who has made my day?
1. Good Knits Road. She makes the most unbelievable sock. I mean, she made socks based on the album art from the most recent Morrissey album. That's just crazy! And awesome.
2. Craft Pirate. Look at her most recent sweater!
3. Knitspot. Always an inspiration. I would like to age into Anne Hanson. Anne Hanson can age into someone else fantastic while I slowly take over her identity.
4. The Runcible Bin. All manner of craftiness, with gorgeous pictures nearly daily.
5. Knitsane. Intelligent thoughts on fashion. Lovely photos. And HABU knits!
WHEW!!! Okay, I'll save my next five nominations for my next post, because that actually took a lot of thought and I'm pooped. Why? Because I've been working on this this weekend, and boy does it take forever:
Latvian mitten: 11 stitches per inch on #0 needles; four colors. Hours and hours. Better pictures soon!

|Beatrice Public Library
Beatrice, Nebraska
On the top of the list was the Beatrice Public Library. The main reason is because this library houses the book collection of the Nebraska State Genealogical Society.
Saturday's visit did not have a research plan. I just wanted to stop in and browse through the collection so that I would know the lay of the land for a future research day.
I was thrilled with what I found here! A very helpful librarian directed me to the Heritage Room, the Nebraska State Genealogical Society collection as well as the other genealogy reference books offered by the library.
For matters of full disclosure, this is where I have to admit that over the past decade, the majority of my genealogy research has been done online. As much as I love libraries, I've managed to remain quite busy just with my online resources and sorting and scanning the documents in my family archive. I've never been to a major library or archive before, so in my limited experience, I was very pleased with what greeted me!
|A portion of the collection of
the Nebraska State Genealogical Society
|Heritage Room
Climate Controlled with a glass enclosed rare books section
My first stop was to visit the Heritage Room, which is a climate controlled environment. If you love that smell of an old bookstore (or perhaps an area of your own personal library!), you'll get the adrenalin rush as you walk in. The room is dark and there are four computers and a microfilm reader and microfilm reels. The computers were being used by fellows watching You Tube videos and surfing the net. I felt like I was the outsider here, actually looking through some of the books!
My father's grandparents lived in Beatrice in the 1930s and 1940s. I had discovered the addresses of their residences in city directories on Ancestry.com, but thought I would look through the city directories. My browsing turned up a third address in Beatrice where my great grandmother had lived!
I spent the rest of my time looking through the NSGS collection. My eyes popped when I saw a thick book with "Amherst" on the binding. Anytime I come across anything relating to Amherst, I have to take a look because my friend and fellow geneablogger, Jenna Mills (Desperately Seeking Surnames) has ancestors who lived there. I've been following her stories about tracking down Mary Evingham for a couple years now. As I looked through the book, I sent Jenna a message on Facebook to get some specifics on names and dates. She responded within a couple minutes and I was on the amazing race through this book! Ah! I found not only references but a lengthy bio of her Thomas N. Smith. I took some quick photos and emailed them off to Jenna.
Now - if you'd told me a couple months ago that I'd be using an iPhone for library research, I'm not sure I would have thought that possible. So Jenna and I messaged and emailed back and forth with each of my new discoveries on her family. I was every bit as excited as if I had been researching my own family. Now, I've got to convince her to make a research trip to Nebraska one of these days!
After lunch, I drove around Beatrice to the addresses where my great grandmother lived. The first was a house which could have been there for 70 years. The next address turned out to be a vacant lot. The third address is that of a Baptist Church. So that means I need to dig deeper to find out how long the church has been at that address and what was located there before.
I returned to the library to do some browsing in Lancaster, Cass and Nuckolls county books. My only "hit" was a photograph of a first cousin, once removed and he was barely visible in this photo of about 50 men.
I used the online card catalog in the library to search resources in the collection. Even as tech savvy as I am, I couldn't find a way to click "back" to go back to my search results after I located a book in the catalog. So I again turned to my iPhone and searched the catalog from there.
Now that I know the lay of the land, I will do some more searching of the online catalog and make a list of the books I want to look at on my next visit. I will definitely have a much better defined task list ready for my next day trip.
Overall, I thought the library was very inviting, comfortable and the staff quite helpful. Although, I think that ALL libraries need to stop shelving books within 12 inches of the floor. Eyes that are six decades old with bifocal correction just can't read those Dewey Decimal numbers at that angle! And the knees don't bend as well as they used to!
As Arnold said, "I'll be back!"

Hayden Christensen and Jennifer Jones met on the set of Star Wars. She was the girl who bought him coffee every morning, and they soon fell in love. After dating for three years, Hayden finally proposed, and the couple were married in a private ceremony on a beach in California. Not long after their marriage, Jen announced the couple's first pregnancy live on air. Nine months later they welcomed their son Kyler James into the world. Ky is a very sporty boy, who always finds someway to get into trouble. He wants to be a footballer when he gets older, and already plays for his local team.
Four years after the birth of their son, the couple fell pregnant again. This time, they were pleased to welcome twin girls Karyn Elizabeth and Khloe Jean into their family. The twins are now 10, and very active girls. They attend ballet classes, as well as singing and acting classes, as they are hoping to break into the business. At the moment they are shooting a film in Florida, about twin girls who cause endless amounts of trouble.
Another three years down the line, and this time it was Hayden who announced the pregnancy. Triplets were added this time, and Jen left her career behind to work on raising their six children. Keaton Isaiah, Kammie Jennifer and Kolby Hayden are all very shy children, who love to spend most of their time together. Their favourite thing to do is draw, and they are very keen on becoming artists when they are older.
The last planned pregnancy resulted in Kristopher Ian, a rowdy little boy who looks up to his big brother Ky. He also loves to spend time with his sisters Karyn and Khloe, who take him along to their ballet lessons once a week. Kris was the last baby that the couple had planned to have. Jen went back to work not long after he was born, and the couple hired a nanny to look after their seven children.
2 years down the line, a surprise came along in the shape of Kinsley-Beth Marie. Although un-planned Kinsley is loved to bits by all the family. She is the surprise darling of the triplets, who love to play with her.

WTN: 2002 Hermann Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese Nahe Germany. $49.99, Wine Ventures, Tenafly. 8.5% alcohol. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY, a Terry Thiese Selection. AP:77530101103.
Light gold color, clear hue, an essence of fruit aroma and taste, haunting somehow, but thrilling, complex medley of fruits, sweet herbs, nuts, spices, forest floor, mineral notes; medium mouth feel, long complex finish, with all of those notes and more in subtle and pure impressions. A lovely wine -- Spätlese is so much fun to taste at different ages -- we buy a case at a time with the idea of spending ten years or so finishing it off. 4*+.
Oh, about the Gaja. I had planned a fairly complicated Italian dish with chicken, fresh tomatoes, zucchini, more -- recipe to follow on another occasion. Last night, I did my prep, opened a 1998 Gaja Barbaresco, and smelled the most god awful cardboard aroma possible. Put my mind totally off of Italian food it did. :-(
So, I roasted my vegetables, setting the tomatoes aside for lunch today, grilled the chicken, made a simple salad -- and opened the ever reliable Dönnhoff -- we have never had a bottle of Dönnhoff that didn't please us in one way or another. Our dinner was close to perfection.
