Here are some studio shots from Toys N Joys Photos shoot.
Now that's one war torn looking Mando. Very cool Now how do you manage to get everything looking so battered? The weathering on all your stuff is top class!
Aren't you a little short for a Mando? J/K, It looks awesome, the True Flak Vest worked better than I thought it was going too, Very Impressive. And those blasters; too cool!
Wow, that is fantastic, that Mando and the weapons look like they crawled out of the same hole filled with gravel, ballbearings and razorblades I'm hoping for my Mando.
That mando looks really cool, like the rest of the props and stuff for this movie!!!! Amazing!!!!
Awesome job on the Mando brother!!!
im sure this has been asked before but any word on a trailer or a finish date?
Making minor cameos in Seven Jedi are
Wow you guys are on fire with this. I can see this thing getting the Fan Film award at many many conventions!
WWWOOOOOWWW... It's great to see the Deltas in your fanfilm!!! I really like the way you attached the shoulder bells to the vest/armor... I'd like to see a closer pic of that... Your work and your skills are impresive...
Every time I stop by this thread it gets more and more sick.
Wait a sec didn't sev die in the end of the game I could be wrong but that's what I thought.
The wepons are COOL and the ship looks good keep it goin.
gasp SCHORCH!!! Sweat RC armor. the commandos a purely awesome. cant wait for it and please disregard my other post on this thread.
and glad to see that you are finally on and posting BLOODSHATTER
Your attention to detail for making things look real-world is incredible. Thae weathering on that mando looks more like the OT than the Prequels.
And that's a good thing. LOL!
what are the characters in the pics of your mando? I think the top one is Japanese for Dragon, but I'm not sure
some really amazing stuff
Japanese style banner flag of the Marauder Army, Wampa skull with blood red rising sun rays.
I just watched your fight choreography video and it's amazing. I myself practice matial arts, but I am far from anything like this. I look forward to seeing the trailer!!
Aloha bradah,
You got a great thing goin. Where are you shooting you footage at? Great armor and awesome weapons. cant wait to see the whole thing come together.

It is with great sadness that i announce farewell to 2008, what a ****** year it has been for me personally,
Starting off the new year with my mother passing in early January, and it ends with the passing of my father whom passed away right before Christmas.
So it wasn't so merry for myself. But along with loss there has been much gain in our production, although we still are in production with the film , allot of our other small projects have been taking off, its been a rocky road with many obstacle, both personally and financially, with the world in recession over the last year, I want to say goodbye to 200i8 and strive for greatness next year.
Hopefully 2009 will shine a much brighter light on my life. Good luck and Haoulii maka Hiki Hou !(Happy New years in Hawaiian) to all those who have supported me and my production, best of luck and congratulations in the new year!

Brother, I am sorry for your loss, I too want to tell 2008 to kiss my butt! I hope 2009 is much better for all of us! Glad to hear that progress is moving along on Seven Jedi. Best of luck my brother!
I am in awe of your work man.you guys bring a wonderful gritty sense of realism to your props and it just warms my heart lolol.I love to make things out of found parts and junk that i find laying around, and just seeing some of your wonderful toys really inspires me to do some creating of my own.
Huge KUDOS!!!
Your year sounds pretty well awful but it's cool that you always seemed excited about your projects even with the **** going on. Your work is an inspiration and I'm really looking forward to being able to see your movie
Jeez lookin NICE Keep up the good work
lol if i lived Hawaii i would so want to help out
Ligthsaber chucs? ***! Eff'in awsome!
I have high belives in this project...
So will the film be avaleable for all or you gonna sell it?
Hope 2009 has been better for you so far. Any news on this amazing project?
This fan film makes my nerd side have a joygasm. Is there a proposed date you guys are trying to get it finished by?
Sorry all, Recession has hit me hard financially and things are getting pushed back further..... but the show will go on!
Mahalo for the update brahda, been subscribed to this thread, and I know how you feel being strapped for cash.
Very glad to hear that the show will go on, especially since you put so much into it already, it would be a shame to see it all go to waste.
Just take it slow so you don't get too deep, and finish it at your pace. I know we may seem impatient, but I know we'll wait. You cant rush perfection
My computer was down for awhile,was under warranty and was sent to mainland, just got it back yesterday.
Heres some stuff i been working on, nothing to exciting, will try to update more often,
cyborg top view showing circuit board detail, cover held on by earth mags
circuit board from underneath,
greenscreen filming of training remote scene
Scubatrooper pack Work in progress (yes we have an underwater scene)
Whip girl practicing on a mannequin target for scene.
using up extra spare parts on some cracked drinking cups for gauntlets.
Lady with a whip.....
I can't beleive how awsome all this stuff is. Evrytime I come in here I about die.
Big Mahalo's for the update, I cant wait to see this as a finished film... Underwater, lazer whips, MAN O MAN this is gonna kick Okole.
i've just got done reading this entire thread. wow.
amazing job.
It's nice to get new updates on this film... Thanks!!!
So.... If the show's gonna be at the Hawaii fanfilm fest thing.... where's the sequel gonna be? Yes, You are making a sequel. I command it, so let it be done. *waves hand*
EDIT: Btw, the custom mando is amazing. Make him in the sequel. Or, better yet, have something else... like... his kid sees his head chopped off... by the jedi... and now he hates jedi... yeah... that's original....
we have something similar with the Mandalorian character, but more of a flip the script kinda twist.
Sequel, well lets just get past the first one, I kinda of envisioned Seven Jedi like the Kill Bill Series volume 1 and volume 2. The first one is BIG and EPIC and the second one is more personal. Although i do have the sequel in mind, I'd really like to do something original afterwards.
Heres one of the marauder makeup schemes we have for the whip girl(Cy-la).
A cross between Pris(Daryl Hannah) from Blade Runner .
and a Maori facial tattoo(Moko) like the female in back of Nig, in Once Were Warriors
I am so glad I got in on this thread brahda, you make some really good stuff.
Just looking at your image of the characters above, I see that you are using VERY high quality recording equipment, what kind of camera's are you using to get such awesome depth of field?
Got another trailer we can see? I loved the first one, cant wait to see more.
Big mahalo's for doin this.

Here is a new project I started yesterday. I can't show you much as it is a surprise for an online sister of a group I belong to. It's not only a new project, but a new technique too. Should be interesting. It involves curves, but only straight stitching. Oh, yes and a new notion - a ruler to be exact. And yes, it is Christmas fabrics.
It's not to late to participate in my giveaway. Ends Wednesday evening. Click here to guess.
So what's on your design wall? I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lynn's BOMs Away - both buttons on sidebar. Go on over and see what everyone is doing, and add your linky so we can see what you are doing, too.

Recipe by SuperWifey
"Here's a quick and delicious way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes. You WILL need a waffle iron. These are basically potato pancakes (a.k.a. latkes) but without all the greasy clean-up and calories from pan-frying. I usually serve them with fish or chicken and sauteed apples."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups mashed potatoes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
These were really good.I topped mine with cheese cuz I like cheese with my potato pancakes and had meatballs on the side. The only thing I will do different next time is add some baking powder to get them a little fluffier
It's not very often that a recipe from Allrecipies fails for me but this one did. All went well until it went into the waffle iron. We make waffles at least once a week so it's not as if our iron doesn't work but after 10 minutes with the potato mixture in the waffle iron, it was still a gooey mess, no closer to being cooked than it was when it went in. I would make sure that if yo attempt this, that you have a super hot waffle iron.

These are delicious smothered with sausage gravy. I also made them Gluten Free by using the Bisquick GF mix instead of flour.
OMG. I've tried many potato pancakes recipes but never thought about putting them in a waffle iron. I don't care how much you modify them, this cooking technique is the key to this recipe. Absolutely perfect and crispy. And without using oil to fry, they almost seemed healthy. Thank you SuperWifey.
Dear Wifey- I nearly flew to my waffle iron to try your recipe and the flavor did not disappoint. I did tweak the recipe (as I always do potato pancakes) by adding 1 tsp of onion powder and 1/2 tsp white pepper and omitting the garlic (and I use Russet potatoes)... The problem I can see happening to others (as it did to me), is that everybody's recipe for mashed potatoes is going to vary in texture and moisture... so my first two waffles turned out so tender I could hardly get them out of the iron. By the third waffle, I had added probably double the flour, used 1/2 cup of batter, and cooked it over 7 minutes. I have a great waffle iron (been using it for 30 years) so I know to have it thoroughly preheated and normally can cook any waffle recipe in exactly 5 minutes. I will definitely try the recipe again with either less potato or more flour because I love your idea... good use of leftover potato, reduced use of oil, fun to serve, and good flavors!
When my husband saw me fire up the waffle maker, he had his mouth set for butter and maple syrup, so these waffles took him by surprise! I had sour cream and chive instant mashed potatoes in my pantry. I mixed those up according to package directions and then just added the flour and eggs in this recipe. The waffles couldn't have been simpler and were very tasty served topped with shredded Cheddar, plain yogurt, and a sprinkling of chopped green onions. I will definitely make these again.
Very good, nice change from potato pancakes. We topped the waffles with sour cream & served with applesauce & pork sausage patties. Thanks for the recipe.
Made these last night with leftover mashed potatoes, they were amazing! I usually dont like potato pancakes because of the gooey texture and oil but this way they are crispy and delicious. I made per the recipe but added shredded cheddar to the mix. So yummy!!

Orchard City residents upset over new federal regulations that have brought an end to the town's popular and successful aerial mosquito spraying program are blaming the Environmental Protection Agency for having to live with the constant fear of West Nile Virus infection from insect bites, and for new human cases of WNV in Orchard City this year.
Town trustee Jan Gage told the DCI in an e-mail, "We must figure out a way to get the EPA to allow aerial spraying before more people die!"

Bloomfield reacts to deadly Connecticut school shooting
Madelyn Hoffman, executive director of the Bloomfield-based New Jersey Peace Action, said: "We are devastated by this news." The group has no official position on gun control but has a position on "peace culture," she said.
"It seems what happens is a horrible tragedy," said Hoffman in a phone interview from her Bloomfield Avenue office. "We believe is it time for this country to take a series at long look at a culture of violence that exists here."
Hoffman said violence is "so deeply engrained now" in the country because of the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I agreed... we can't resolve our problems with guns, but how do we teach [students] that? It's OK if the American government drops bombs over seas, but not OK if you shoot someone with a gun? It's really hard to teach that someone a lesson if you don't lead by example."

July 5, 2013 Overthinking ItGetting to Know the New Insane Strikeout Rate RelieversHere's a stat about strikeouts: The percentage of 50-plus-inning relievers who struck out a batter per inning in 1990 was lower than the percentage who struck out 12 per nine innings in 2012. Remember the Reds' "Nasty Boys" bullpen of Rob Dibble, Randy Myers, and Norm Charlton? They were three of only eight relievers with a K/9 of at least 9.0 in 1990. Relative to average, Dibble's 12.5 K/9 that season was more impressive than, say, Aroldis Chapman's league-leading 15.1 in 2013. But 15.1 is such an astounding number that it commands the attention anyway. Strikeout rates are rising too fast for the baselines in our brains to keep up. Every season, a new crop of relievers arrives and astonishes us with their strikeout prowess. Some are promising rookie relief prospects who throw a million miles per hour and were expected to miss many bats. Others are rookies who've exceeded expectations, and still others are veterans whose latent strikeout powers were never suspected before they surfaced this season. The following 10 pitchers have thrown at least 10 innings in relief and struck out (approximately) everyone, without any prior insane strikeout rate seasons.* There are other eye-popping relief lines that come with more modest strikeout rates, but those won't appear in this article. As wonderful as it is that soft-tossing 26-year-old Twins rookie Caleb Thielbar, whom we discussed on Effectively Wild last week, has started his career with 16 2/3 scoreless innings, he's also struck out under eight batters per nine innings, walked almost four, and given up a lot of fly balls. You can enjoy the fact that none of his batted balls has been a homer and that very few of his batted balls have been hits, but not without a sense of impending doom that sort of spoils the small-sample success. The higher the strikeout rate, the lower the flash-in-the-pan potential, so some of these guys might have a slightly longer life expectancy than the typical non-Rivera reliever. 1.

"Holiday Inn Express - Michigan Mile"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 9, 2011
There was nothing wrong with the hotel as such, just small rooms, and a very different buffet breakfast than hotels in South Africa. We also struggled to get used to using disposable crockery & cutlery. Very weird for us, as our hotels back home are much more 'sophisticated'. That said, the staff were very friendly, and on the ball with whatever we required. Check in and out was quick and easy and everyone was helpful. Our room was cleaned daily, and we'd definitely recommend this hotel as it was so conveniently located, (we walked wherever we wanted to go) and taxis were always on call. Overall, a good, pleasant experience! Thank you Holiday Inn Express!

"River Hotel Chicago the place to stay"Reviewed by Peter Hu of "Cape Town South Africa" on May 18, 2010
This was our first visit to Chicago to attend a conference and we wanted to stay on to experience something of Chicago. Being in South Africa and not knowing anyone in Chicago we searched the web for an affordable hotel close to the City centre. The River Hotel seemed like the right choice. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was superbly located in Downtown Chicago amongst some of the nicest restaurants and convenient for the sights of Chicago that we wanted to see. We were very happy with the room, the service and the amenities that the hotel offered and found the view of the Chicago River stunning. Should we have the opportunnity to visit Chicago again we will certainly want to stay in the River Hotel. .

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Hunters who head afield in early September will have a choice - hunt for bombers, or hunt for fighters.
The bombers, in this case, are Canada geese, some of the largest game birds available to West Virginia's sportsmen. The fighters are mourning doves, some of the smallest.
The analogy holds true. Like bombers from World War II, geese tend to fly in formation and don't like to deviate from their course. Doves, on the other hand, dart and turn like fighter planes in aerial combat.
West Virginia wildlife officials have set the opening day for this year's early goose and dove seasons for Sept. 2. The goose season will begin one-half hour before sunrise. The dove season, following tradition, will open at noon.
Curtis Taylor, wildlife chief for the state Division of Natural Resources, said goose hunters should concentrate on the Ohio, Kanawha, Monongahela and Greenbrier valleys.
"Canada geese are found throughout West Virginia, but the largest concentrations are in the major river valleys where agricultural and suburban landscapes provide an abundance of open land," Taylor explained. "A recently harvested crop field near water would be an ideal and obvious place to hunt. However, hunters should not overlook those out-of-the-way spots such as an isolated pasture or strip [mine] bench with a small pond."
Because geese are mobile and often move to avoid hunting pressure, Taylor recommended that hunters scout early and often to confirm that fields and flight corridors are still being used. He also urged hunters to try to stay on good terms with farmers and landowners, because private lands are where geese usually are found.
Geese can be hard to bring down, so hunters should make sure their guns and ammunition - their anti-aircraft artillery, if you will - are up to the task. Most goose hunters used 12- or 10-gauge shotguns and 3- or 31/2-inch Magnum loads of size BB or B shot.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife service prohibits the use of lead shot on waterfowl, so hunters should use non-toxic shot such as steel, bismuth, tin, copper, polymer or combinations of those materials.

Hunter found dead in Swanzey
SWANZEY - The body of a hunter was recovered in Swanzey early Tuesday morning.
The N.H. Fish and Game Department was notified Monday night of an overdue hunter in the area of Talbot Hill Road, according to a press release issued by Lt. Craig Morrocco of N.H. Fish & Game.
Robert Lariviere Jr., 51, of Swanzey, was reported to have gone deer hunting in the vicinity of Talbot Hill Road in Swanzey early Monday morning. His family reported him overdue to local police. Immediately thereafter, at approximately 8:15 p.m., personnel from New England K9, N.H. Fish and Game Department, Swanzey Police Department, Swanzey Fire Department, Keene Fire Department, and Upper Valley Wilderness Rescue Team responded to the scene to conduct a search for Lariviere.
Early Tuesday morning about 2:20 a.m., personnel from New England K9 located Lariviere's body approximately a quarter of a mile from his vehicle in a densely wooded area. Upon initial investigation, foul play does not appear to be a factor.
The state of Medical Examiner's Office and Swanzey Police are investigating.

The Crawford board of trustees heard of a continuing problem of sewer odors invading neighborhoods and businesses.
Owners of two different businesses, one on Highway 92 and the other on Cedar Avenue, spoke at the Nov. 6 council meeting.
They said sewer odors have been detected on I Street as well.
A plumber tested one sewer line with a camera and could not see any problem. His conclusion was the plumbing in the business must be faulty. The business owner strongly disagreed and said the county health department did not find any fault with the establishment's plumbing. The second business owner said with the sewer smells located at her business and elsewhere, it proves the first establishment could not be the source of the problem.
Crawford public works will continue to look into the matter. So far they have found no leaks in the town's sewer lines.

Wireless reliability
Dependable way to collect data in sensing, control apps.
By Scott Quillin
Wireless devices are becoming commonplace in our society. Most everyone now carries a cellular phone, pager, two-way radio, portable digital assistant, or other wireless device. The expectation from these devices is information can transfer to whoever needs it when they need it.
When messages do not get through or calls fall through, the user usually attempts to retry the data collection. Sometimes this might require a delay in time or movement to reestablish the broken link, but overall it goes unnoticed. In an industrial wireless system, you cannot move locations or "call back" later as your schedule fits; the information must get to where the user needs it.
So, just how do you increase the reliability of low-cost industrial wireless systems so required data ends up in the user's hands when required?
There will always be times when it makes more sense to run wires rather than put in a wireless system. Reasons for running wires include cost, bandwidth, very high reliability, ease, familiarity, accessibility, knowledge, tools, requirements, distance, and power. There are many times, however, that a wireless approach would make more sense, even when some of the "wired" reasons are a part of the equation.
When it comes to benchmarking, wireless systems always compare against wired systems in terms of reliability. When a wire connects two end points, you can assume the data will get through, and for the most part, it will. Using various protocols that include error correction and minimum or maximum requirements for voltages, currents, wire size, wire length, and other variables, a wired system will perform very well in its installed environment. If a system does not meet some of the requirements, the wired system has a much higher chance of failure. The good news is you can easily measure and compare all of the requirements of a wired system against installation requirements. If any of these values were to change due to unforeseen circumstances, the system would again be vulnerable. Bad connections and broken wires are the most common faults in a wired system.
Some applications will never use a wireless link. When the wire runs are easy and cheap, as well as over rather short distances, it only makes sense to use wired systems. Also, when the amount of data being taken is near or greater than the allowable bandwidth (data rate) of the radios available, a wired approach only makes sense.
Many of the sensors currently used in industrial environments, however, fall outside those descriptions. Typically, wire runs for industrial sensor networks cost much more than the sensors themselves. Cost models for labor and materials for many industrial installations put the figure between $50 per foot up to hundreds of dollars per foot just for the wire, conduit, fittings, barriers, and labor to install. The wired sensors become just a small portion of the cost to collect the data deemed important enough to monitor. As well, the actual amount of data transmitted by typical sensors is very low, on the order of bytes per second or less, while the wires themselves could handle kilobytes or megabytes of data per second. Sound like overkill? Still, other sensors could connect to the installed wire as needs arise in the future.
The design of wireless systems should be within certain limits for expected performance. When the system does not meet those requirements, you have to expect similar results as compared to a wired system. The difference is a wireless system's requirements are harder to measure. An example with a wired system having a maximum cable length of 100 feet would compare to a maximum path loss in a wireless system. Path loss sometimes compares to distance in a wireless system, but with wireless, line-of-sight (LOS) qualifies as a distance. In a wireless system installation, there may be several obstructions be-tween the transmitting end and the receiving end. Each of these obstructions degrades the radio path due to reflections, absorption, scattering, and other factors.
Measuring the exact path loss when designing a wireless system is difficult without the proper tools. Even with the proper tools, changing conditions mean you have to leave some headroom in the system to compensate for those changes. If a wireless system goes in without extra headroom, there will be dropouts in coverage due to fading, weather, vehicles, or any number of other reasons. Depending on the wireless system installed, the headroom required for consistent performance varies. If the radios are robust, the overall headroom, or signal margin, can be as little as 14 decibels (dB). If not, there may be as much as 30 dB or more of signal margin required to guarantee consistent performance.
A robust radio system should have mul-tiple paths for the information to flow. You can accomplish this by using repeaters that just pass the information on while increasing effective power. Repeaters are two-way radios that receive information from like devices and "forward" the information on using their own radio transmitters. A user can accomplish multiple paths by using multiple receivers, located apart from one another, that are directly connected to the system. This is spatial diversity.
Specialized antennas for the transmitters and/or the receivers will also increase system reliability.
Typically, specialized antennas would point the transmitting signal in a certain direction, or similarly point a receiver to listen in a certain direction. These directional antennas also have the added benefit of increasing transmitted power or receiver sensitivity, but with added cost and complexity to the system.
Multiple redundant transmissions further increase the probability of receiving a message of importance.
If the redundant messages randomly disperse in time (time diversity) and there is a local radio-jamming source intermittently present, the redundant random transmissions have a higher probability of being received compared to just a single transmission. The use of historical data in each transmission also helps with system reliability. If the system misses a single message, the next message would statistically get through and would contain data for the current readings as well as some number of past readings.
This is especially useful for systems that do trending and does not include the redundant message scheme mentioned above.
There are quite a few radio companies and even more individual radio types currently on the market. Many of these radios will not work well in an industrial environment. There are several questions you have to ask when determining what wireless system to design and install at a specific site.
How much data will transmit, and how often? This question determines the data rate of individual radios as well as the bandwidth of the system. If the monitored sensors have slow update rates such as temperature, level, or flow where the information cannot physically change very fast, a lower data rate system would usually be better. If you are monitoring fast-changing parameters such as vibration (also high bandwidth) or there are many sensors directly connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC), and all of the sensor information also needs to get to a remote location, a higher data rate radio system would be a better choice. With the higher data rate systems, the radios usually establish a continuous link to transfer information between them, using two-way devices to acknowledge reception of data. Lower data rate systems can many times be one-way systems where the transmitters send out a little bit of information occasionally, on some preprogrammed time intervals.
How many devices do you need to monitor? This is actually an extension of the last question, because as there are more and more end points, the effective bandwidth of the system increases. If there are many devices, but each is only reporting a few bytes of measured information every few minutes, the overall bandwidth of the system is still quite low. Monitoring many high-data rate devices can overload the system, though, because of the nature of those types of systems. This is not to say you cannot do it, it is just that you have to do more planning to get the system to work effectively.
What environment will the system have to work in? Radio system choices become limited in hazardous environments. Many of the radio manufacturers have not pursued certification in Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Hazardous Locations. If you choose a radio not allowed in these environments, additional installation or certification costs would result. Also, the temperature rating on many radios is not fully industrial rated (–40°C to +85°C). A user should also examine data sheets for shock and vibration tests if the installed location calls for it, as well as environmental issues. Industrial radios appear in some of the most severe environments ever found. The radio and enclosure must also be up to the task by being weatherproof, shock resistant, chemical resistant, and temperature rated.
What is the range requirement? There are some installations that only require the data to transmit a few feet in the same room. Vibration monitoring on large rotating machinery is an example. Wireless devices see use in this case (even though the distance is very short), because it would be impossible to connect wires to the rotating machine. Also, the radio does not have to be very powerful and would normally operate by battery. Battery life would be short when gathering continuous measurements from a device such as this.
Other installations need to get data from 20 or 30 miles away. The radios used in these installations are higher power transmitting devices with very good external antennas and very sensitive receivers. The cost of these radios is the greatest, and the design and installation of the system is also the most expensive. These radios typically connect to several sensors or PLCs and can send continuous update information back to a location that is useful.
The rest of the installations are somewhere between these extremes. Sensors appear all over campus-sized installations or on unmanned rigs within a mile or two of a working platform. The parameters measured are typically lower data rate items such as temperature, pressure, or flow.
Update rates for each sensor are every few minutes to every few hours. Many times prior to wireless system installation, the parameters either did not undergo measurement or users recorded them by hand when they visited the location. Often the data was incorrect or not read at all, and would then have to go into the system to keep historical data on the device. With the addition of the wireless sensor, users can now accurately measure the data when they are supposed to measure it. Also, it automatically logs into the system for future analysis.
Many of the sensors in a campus setting or on an oil rig need to operate via battery. Several reasons exist for battery-powered devices, including no additional wiring and ease of installation, up to the fact that it might be near impossible to get power to some of the monitored locations.
Depending on the design of the transmitter and/or sensor, battery life for these units ranges from several days to many years. Battery life of the transmitter is highly dependant on the update rate of the device, as well as its current when asleep, and finally, the output power of the device. More power gives longer range but drains batteries more quickly.
There are many different types of wireless devices currently on the market. Technologies such as 802.11 and Bluetooth come to mind when describing wireless networks. These are wireless standards originally designed for computers and peripherals so that connection was as simple as being within range of the network. This is a great idea for an industrial wireless network except that for an industrial sensor network, the amount of data transferred is now on the order of bytes instead of kilobytes—not what the standards' founders designed them for. As well, the amount of overhead (extra protocol information) to send the data greatly outweighs the data itself. Proprietary wireless sensor protocols and the yet-to-be IEEE 1451 Wireless Sensor standard address many, if not all, of the above concerns simply by the fact they are most efficient when used in an industrial sensor network. Bluetooth and 802.11 devices may work in this environment, but not as efficiently.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates all the radio frequencies in the U.S. They have set aside several frequency bands for use without having to purchase a license. The most common are the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands. The ISM rules generally state that transmitted power has a maximum of 1 watt when using spread-spectrum modulation and 1 milliwatt with narrowband modulation methods. The reason for the great increase in power (1,000 times the power, or +30 dB) when using a spread-spectrum system is the ability to have many different users in the same geographic location without large system degradation.
Spread-spectrum modulation works by either spreading the transmitted information over a much wider frequency band than just the information itself would take up (direct sequence spread spectrum [DSSS]), or by changing the transmitting frequency several times during a single message (frequency hopping spread spectrum [FHSS]). To other systems, either DSSS and FHSS look like momentary low-power jamming sources at worst, or they do not affect other systems by any measurable means. Spread-spectrum radios must meet all of the requirements of the FCC's Part 15.247 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Spread-spectrum radios are very common. They include cordless phones, wireless local-area networks, and millions of industrial sensors. The FCC allows spread-spectrum radios to operate in the 902- to 928-megahertz (MHz) band, the 2.45-gigahertz (GHz) band, or the 5.6-GHz band. The lower frequency radios are typically more inexpensive, but they are also lower data rate devices because of the limited frequency bandwidth available. The 2.45-GHz and 5.6-GHz radios are able to handle much more information per second because of the larger allowable frequency band. Spread-spectrum radios operating within these bands must only get approval for the general operation of the tested device, which usually occurs when they make the radio or when the company integrates the radio module into a final product. With most other radio types, a user must get individual licenses for each radio installation. These licensing issues are time consuming and expensive, if they are even available.
The choice of which radio to install depends on many factors. If there is a system already installed at the location of interest and it can handle the extra information that new radios would add to the system, using like products would be the logical choice. Radios that do not require licenses for each site, such as the ISM band radios, are less of a hassle to deal with. The benefit of the licensed radios is they can be much higher power than the 1-watt limit for DSSS or FHSS radios in the ISM band. The extra power means longer reliable LOS distances, but at the cost of increased power demands and higher cost per device. Choosing between FHSS and DSSS is not quite as easy as determining if a license is available. Both spread-spectrum radios should perform in a similar fashion.
Michael Moore of Oak Ridge National Labs wrote in his article "The Next Step—Wireless IEEE 1451 Smart Sensor Networks" that DSSS radios are more reliable, require less power, are less interfering, and more spectrally efficient than FHSS radios. You can attribute the performance benefit of direct sequence modulation to processing gain, where the information spreads out in frequency at the transmitter and then compresses back into its original bandwidth at the receiver. The receiver attenuates anything that was not part of the original signal by its processing gain. A frequency hopping system does not generate processing gain, but does move the signal around in frequency during the transmission. This moving around in frequency also requires much longer synchronization times than direct sequence systems, because the receiver in a FHSS system must continually search though its list of frequencies looking for a transmitter that happens to be sending a message. The transmitter must include enough synchronization time in its transmitted message for the receiver to find it. This adds precious time to messages when systems are operating near their peak data rates.
DSSS systems, on the other hand, require much shorter synchronization times, because they already know the frequency. The receiver only has to correlate to the message to gather the useful information. A short message from a contact closure transmitted by an inexpensive FHSS radio has a message time of near 250 milliseconds, while the same information transmitted by a similar DSSS radio only takes 8 milliseconds. When dealing with low-cost sensor systems, the additional time used by the FHSS radios causes radio frequency collisions and missed data. The more time each device is on and the more devices there are in the system, the less chance of receiving an individual message. Kuriacose Joseph statistically calculated this and explained it further in his paper "Calculation of Message Length Transition Probabilities in Selective Reject ALOHA Channels." Therefore, the shorter messages provided even by low-cost DSSS radios increase system performance by increasing the probability of each message getting to the proper recipient.
Most equipment installed in an industrial environment undergoes rigorous design and testing so it can survive extreme temperature, severe shock and vibration, caustic chemicals, weather extremes, and other factors. Radios used in these environments must also meet these requirements.
They must be able to operate in temperatures from –40ºC to +85ºC, so they do not drift too much in frequency when subjected to these extremes. They must also coat the radios in sealed enclosures for protection from weather and/or harsh chemicals. The enclosures and the radios themselves must be able to withstand falls, various banging around, and other "mistakes" caused by installers and other people in the field. If they cannot survive, the system will not perform for long.
UL certification or the equivalent is also a must for operation in hazardous environments. At a minimum, the device should have UL Class 1 Division 2 Groups C and D listing to be compatible with most locations in the field.
The radios must also be as technically robust as cost allows. The receivers should have very good sensitivity, but not allow information from unwanted bands to interfere with reception of desired signals, meaning they should have good selectivity and jam resistance. Both frequency hopping and direct sequence radios have proven they are able to perform very well in hostile environments.
Other forms of radio modulation have not been as successful at penetrating walls and dealing with the many potential obstructions encountered in industrial environments.
The choice of which ISM band to use is also difficult. Many countries do not allow 900-MHz ISM band radios as they do 2.4-GHz radios, but building penetration is better at lower frequencies. The influx of popular radio technologies such as Bluetooth and 802.11 brings up questions of overcrowding and increased background noise in the 2.4-MHz band where these devices operate. Bluetooth radios seem to be especially susceptible to jamming sources, especially when near high-power microwave devices (yes, even microwave ovens), said Charles Buffler in his article "Compatibility Issues Between Bluetooth and High Power Systems in the ISM Bands."
Will radios ever replace wires? Yes, they have in many applications, and will continue to grow into more applications when people understand data can reliably and cost effectively move from the end point to the controller. Designing, installing, and using a reliable low-cost industrial wireless data system takes no more effort than its wired counterpart does. The only differences are the questions a user must ask during the process.
Wireless system design must take into account the intended use of the product so a user does not install it in a location where it would work marginally at best. Users must adhere to electrical classification and FCC certifications. They must also meet power requirements for each end point. The electrical and mechanical sensor interfaces, mounting, and shock and vibration requirements must undergo scrutiny for each product.
The only difficult parameters to consider when designing a wireless system are the range of the radios and the physical operation of the devices. Radio vendors typically state the range performance of their products in one or more environments, and the physical requirements are the frequency band of use and the modulation scheme employed. These parameters are very similar to wired systems' maximum wire lengths, data speed, and wire protocols. At the end of the day, designing, installing, and maintaining a reliable industrial wireless system may just be easier than doing the same with its wired brother. IT

Brad Paisley jokes that when he was a little boy growing up in West Virginia, he was so obsessed with moving to Nashville that he would wake up in the mornings and face south.
âNashville was Mecca to me,â said Paisley during a post Thanksgiving phone call from California, where he celebrated the holiday with his family. âHopefully thatâs not blasphemous. I wanted to drive down that interstate and get to the Opry and be in Nashville. I just remember the first time I ever visited and thinking, âBoy, if I could just get
here.â â
In 1999 Paisley released his debut album, âWho Needs Pictures,â on Arista Nashville. Now 14 years and 22 No. 1 songs later, the Grand Ole Opry member will be honored for being such an upstanding member of Nashvilleâs music community. Paisley will receive the Harmony Award, which goes to someone who exemplifies the harmonious spirit of Nashvilleâs music community, at the annual Symphony Ball on Saturday night.
Previous recipients include Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Trisha Yearwood, Vince Gill and Keith Urban.

Questioning power station purchaseJune 1, 2013Editor: I am writing about the proposed purchase of the Harrison County Power Station by Mon Power and Potomac Edison. This power station belongs at present to Allegheny Energy Supply.... DontTakeMyGunsCoal is not a clean energy source, no matter which way you slice it. I understand that improvements have been made, and I understand that you don't want to see WV lose jobs, but the sad fact of it is, the environment is something that needs serious attention. We can't keep using the same types of energy that we have been and expect there to be an inhabitable Earth for years and years to come. Alternative energy might seem expensive now, but just like any innovation (cars, computers, etc.), investing money in it now will ultimately lead to prices dropping and it eventually becoming quite manageable cost-wise. 2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryYou also can't ignore that the biggest reason that we are losing jobs in the coal fields is mechanization. The tonnage isn't dropping. 2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryIf coal cost less than gas the plants wouldn't be switching to it. Water vapor? Are you kidding? They are much cleaner than before but they sure aren't just humidifiers. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryDid you ever think that some of those mines played out? Coal is a finite resource and the easy coal is gone. Mines don't need as much human labor anymore. That is where the jobs went from the industry. Played out mines have always closed even before the existence of the EPA although if a mine is too dirty or dangerous it should be closed. 1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » DontTakeMyGunsAside from the fact that coal mining is dangerous, bad for the environment, and an eventual dead-end road, did you know, Puremagix, that coal actually costs the state of West Virginia more money than it creates? If you don't believe me, google the study by the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy. (I can't post links, sorry.) Also, coal mining jobs have actually increased under the Obama Administration (source: nonprofit Appalachian Forces). One of the main reasons this appears to not be the case around here is that many of the coal-mining jobs in the East are being replaced by coal-mining jobs in the West. Finally, do you really think all that comes out is water vapor? Do you not understand basic chemistry? The combustioin of coal (carbon) creates water and carbon dioxide (if there is excess oxygen/proper ventilation) or carbon monoxide (if there is not excess oxygen/improper ventilation). 2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryYes Pure business has its costs. There are plenty of things that I would like to do but they wouldn't be profitable. If you want to again change the subject I'll point out that most people like the fact that truckers kill far fewer people these days because they can't get away with driving junk. The truckers that I know don't mind especially since they aren't competing with fly by night outfits that cut corners on safety. If a coal seam is too small to be profitable without trashing streams, cutting corners on safety or not doing the reclamation work they are too small to mine. The profitable mines are producing the necessary tonnage. You may not like it but coal will eventually go the way of whale oil. Liking coal can't change the fact that the easy seams are running out. 2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryIf I knew anything about trucking? I've had a CDL with endorsements for hazmat and tandems and owned a log truck.Obviously I know more about trucking than you think. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryNo, it has been quite a few years. At the time I couldn't believe some of the junk that people were hauling logs with. If that has stopped I'm all for it and you should blame the people that were jerry rigging their brakes so the trucks would move if it became necessary to raise the fines to put a stop to it. What that has to do with coal seams and power plants is beyond me though. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerFunny What. You actually think our coal mines are 'played out?' Bwahahaha...now I KNOW how ignorant you are at least on natural resources. Yep; you're a democrat alright. 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 9 of 9 comments
