Let's face it bargain hunters, sometimes the savings you think you're getting don't really add up.
But there is a method that can help you separate true deals from the lousy offers.
Here are the Top 7 Things To Ask Yourself To Make Sure You Get A Bargain:
Number 7: Does The Math Add Up?
2 for $7. That was a deal we found on mac and cheese. But check it out. You can get 2 generic for only $5.38.
A little arithmetic like that has added up to savings for shopper Quanesha Henry. Pulling out her calculator stopped her from buying a brand name bundle on suds.
"Today I chose the 2 individual prices versus the bundle. It was cheaper by about 75 cents," she said.
Number 6: Are There Hidden Fees?
Take Internet and TV deals for example. The advertised price can be appealing, but many charge monthly fees for equipment rentals on modems and boxes that just add to the total cost.
Number 5: Will it last?
Tom Buice learned the hard way sometimes off-brand means poor quality.
"I bought the off-brand shoes to save money, but in the end it actually costs me money because I had to go out and buy a whole other pair of shoes," said Buice.
Number 4, are there incidental costs?
I'm talking about the ones not on your receipt like when you drive 90 miles round trip to go to the outlets but you spend more on gas than you save at the store.
Number 3: Will I Spend More Than I Mean To?
You go in for a bargain and leave with a carload. That's where saving is over-spending in disguise.
Number 2: Am I Spending Too Much Time?
When the value of the deal you find is small compared to how long you spend searching for it, remember your time is precious too.
Number 1: Will I Use This?
"I still have a couple of things that I bought several years ago that are just sitting there," confessed Tina McCall in Spartanburg.
Like many of us, McCall has gotten sucked into a bargain, only to find you don't really need it.
Leave a comment below and tell us your tips for finding a good bargain.

As fans, we all have one or two favorite players who unfortunately moved on from the Mavs. Various trade deadline rumors got me thinking about ex-Mavs, and a few hours of Googling later, I have compiled what I am calling the All-Former-Mavs Team. The All-FM Team is made up of the best current players who were at one point attached to the Mavericks. No offense to all-time greats like Nash and Kidd or talented former Mavs who are either out of the league (Delonte West) or just barely contributing (Antawn Jamison), but for my purposes the player must be a serious part of an NBA team's current rotation. Thinking that a nine-man rotation is probably sufficient, I put together five starters and four rotation players.
Without further ado, the All-Former-Mavs Team:
Starting Point Guard: Nick Calathes
This first entry is maybe the most controversial. Without any great options, I found myself choosing between Nick Calathes, who technically never played a minute for the Mavs, and Darren Collison, who I like to pretend didn't. Some might argue Calathes was never actually a Mav, but I'm going pick him anyway. After all, Calathes has never been benched in favor of the ageless Mike James. He has averaged close to fourteen points, five assists, and four rebounds a game so far in February, while starting in place of the injured Mike Conley. Not much of a track record, but I'm banking on potential here.
Just for the record, Devin Harris would've been a shoe-in for this position if not for his return to Big D this season. However, Dirk + Devin fun times are far more important than my silly fan post.
Also considered: Darren Collison, Steve Nash's grey beard
Starting Shooting Guard: Gerald Green
Who else forgot that Gerald Green played for the Mavs? Wikipedia assures me that Green was in fact on the Mavs' roster in the 08-09 season. Since I don't watch many teams other than the Mavs, I had no idea that Green had suddenly become a pretty solid NBA player. He contributes almost fifteen point and three rebounds a game this year for the surprisingly improved Suns. In addition to scoring a career high thirty-six points this week, Green was recently seen Blake Griffin-ing all over Kenneth Faried.
Also considered: O.J. Mayo, Cap Space
Starting Small Forward: Corey Brewer
I almost put Brewer on the bench, with O.J. Mayo as the starting SG and swingman Green in this spot. However, Brewer was a member of the title team (admittedly a non-contributing one), and O.J. Mayo is O.J. Mayo. Brewer has started all season for a talented but underperforming Minnesota team, and while his defensive reputation is probably somewhat overrated, I think he is a solid, if fairly inconsistent, NBA small forward.
Personally, I love Brewer's energy, and I have never fully forgiven Cuban for trading Brewer and not-Rudy Fernandez for a 2016 2nd round pick. The Mavs are constantly in need of youth and defense, and Brewer has both.
Also considered: Gerald Green, Caron Butler
Starting Power Forward: Brandon Bass
I remember Brandon Bass as a sort of quasi-Shawn Marion type of big man. After salvaging his young career by doing a little bit of everything while backing up Dirk for two seasons, Bass has had a pretty good career in Orlando and Boston. He isn't phenomenal at anything but is fairly solid at everything.
I wavered a bit between Bass and Elton Brand here. and a couple of years ago, I probably would've gone with Brand. Brand is obviously the more talented of the two, but he is well past his prime. Meanwhile Bass is only twenty-eight and is exactly the sort of dependable glue guy that every starting roster needs.
Also considered: Elton Brand, Kris Humphries
Starting Center: Tyson Chandler
Finally something we can all agree on, right?
The debate about whether to re-sign Chandler back in 2011 was a flaming hot one that broke the Mavericks fan base into "Team Bring Everyone Back" vs. "Team Powder." I'm not looking to rehash that here, but I think in hindsight, most of us can agree that the past few years would've been better with Chandler on the roster.
Chandler was the best center the Mavs ever had, Dirk loved him, and he was arguably the biggest reason the fantastically cohesive 2011 team was able to come together for that magical thrill ride. He is still one of the better defensive centers in the league, and since my other options here were Alex Ajinca or starting a power forward (Brand, Bass, or Kris Humphries) at center, this was the easiest pick of all.
Also considered: No one, this was obvious.
Role Players: Elton Brand, Darren Collison, O.J. Mayo, Caron Butler
I find it more than a little worrisome that three of the four All-FM bench players were members of the worst Mavs team I've experienced as a fan. Nevertheless, these were the best options. Brand was a bright spot last year and is a smart, hardworking big off the bench who can cover both frontcourt positions. Collison and Mayo may be terrible starters, particularly when playing with each other in a Dirk-oriented offense, but both are pretty valuable as rotation players. The Caron Butler edition of the 2011 Mavericks was probably the best Mavericks team I've ever seen, and Butler is still a solid veteran contributor off the bench for an extremely young Bucks team.
Also considered: Jason Terry, J.J. Barea, Kris Humphries, Ian Mahinmi, Alex Ajinca
Never considered: Chris Kaman, Lamar Odom, Mike James, Derek Fisher, Rudy Fernandez
Some Concluding Thoughts
I think that with the right coach, this team could probably compete (at least in the East). I find it more than a little heartening that I don't consider any of these players an obvious upgrade over his counterpart on the Mavs current roster. The obvious exception is Tyson Chandler, who couldn't be more of an upgrade over Sam Dalembert. I think I'd still rather have Marion starting than Brewer, but I would definitely take Brewer off the bench instead of Jae Crowder. Otherwise, I like the current Mavs over the former ones.
Is anyone else worried about the paucity of talent amongst the pool of former Mavs? As far as I can tell, there are twenty-two former Mavs currently logging minutes for other NBA teams. Many of these are not big contributors, not a big part of their respective team's rotation, or not healthy. Other than the nine players I chose for the team, there were really only five players than I even considered. My first impulse is to wonder what this says about the Mavericks front office. Focusing on acquiring veteran talent while producing draft bust after draft bust may have worked out in the past, but it has produced decidedly mixed results as of late. As far as I can tell, the Mavs simply have little interest in cultivating young talent.
If I missed anyone, let me know. Otherwise if you want to debate the team or the various pros & cons of the Cuban/Donnie brain trust, hit up the comments.

"Either get in the booth, or shut your mouth," Shystie spits to kick off "Doppelganger," an Azealia Banks diss track that offers the London rapper's take on their Twitter beef and Banks' latest song.
Their Twitter beef stems from Shystie's March 4 release of her "Control It" music video — which, despite her own verse and cameo, Banks called "bogus" and "unoriginal." Shystie's second verse in "Doppelganger" is a fiery and more succinct version of her open letter to Billboard's The Juice, while later verses simultaneously interpolate the melodic breakdown of Banks' "212″ and take down "Yung Rapunxel." Hear "Doppelganger" after the jump.
As for Banks, she has since moved on to calling out Rita Ora.

Ugly Racism - over?
Ugly Racism - over?
The days of Jackie Robinson and the abuse that he suffered because of his color are over.
Really? The current generation has come a long way in the US since the 40's and 50's. I don't think there is anyone who feels that anyone should take the reported verbal abuse ascribed to Miami Dolphin NFL player, Richie Igcognito. Jonathan Martin has left the Miami Dolphins and Igconito has been suspended.
Incognitos alledgedly said the following :
Incognito Transcript
" Hey, wassup, you half n-----piece of s----I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks (I want to) s--- in your f---ing mouth. (I'm going to) slap your f---ing mouth. (I'm going to ) slap your real mother across the face (laughter). F-- you, you're still a rookie. I'll kill you.
This was allegedly recorded in 2013.
Jonathan Martin, a teammate of Incognito, is from the LA area. His love for the game evidently does not include taking this kind of verbal abuse in 2013.
He attended a prestigious private secondary school (Harvard Westlake) in the LA area which has a diverse student body and teaching staff. Both parents are graduates of Harvard University. Jonathan attended Stanford.
Jonathan has not shared his reasons for leaving the team. Incognito has apologized for what he considers to be part of the hazing process for 'rookies' in the NFL. As of today, he has been suspended.
Minorities and women of today should not have to be subjected to the (unacceptable) racial slurs of the past.
What a shame. Martin was a second round draft pick out of Stanford. He was also a standout football star for Harvard Westlake.
Jonathan Martin, with a solid academic background, evidently has chosen to seek his path in life excluding pro football.
Incognito's academic background does not indicate that he may have a similar life choice without football.
It appears that two young men with physical skill may be denied a career in football because of an issue which includes racism.
Hazing in various organizations continues. Hazing is a polite word for bullying. While we are helping our young people to stop 'bullying' - what should we do about hazing? Hazing does exist in our public schools. Most adults have experienced some form of hazing. What is a principled approach to this problem? Is the use of racial slurs acceptable?
or an apparition ?
So what's your take of events that led to the arrest of Oriana Farrell and her son in Taos, New Mexico?
Of interest is the statement she made in her jailhouse letter:
As a single, African-American mother of five in this country, things are tough enough I should not have to endure harassment at the hands of someone who has been hired to protect the citizens of this land over an alleged "speeding offense." No one should.
Is she implying that because of her race she did no wrong? When should she take responsibility for her actions?
This woman was stopped because she broke the law by speeding - endangering her life and the life of others. The officer proceeded as he had been trained and she had reasonable options to consider, sign the ticket and go on with her day. She made a wrong decision. You have misinterpreted much of what I have shared here for the past years if you expect me to defend her weak excuse for actions. Today things are tough for any American mother with 5 children regardless of color. She even put her son in danger!
Have a nice day. Hope you get to spend the holidays with family.
I was just curious to see how you viewed the events that led to her and her son's arrest. The whole thing rapidly spun out-of-control and I suspect we are in agreement as to why.
Like others, I found fault with the officer that fired three rounds at the van as it departed. Yes, he was the last to arrive and there always is that "driven" response to stop a fleeing individual but shooting at the van really wasn't proper. I suppose he knows that now.
I do take issue on her attempt to use the race thingy as a factor in this sad episode. This cheapens its meaning which many have fought long and hard for.
I'm in LA tomorrow; which by the way, have you checked the weather out there lately? Santa Clarita will be down to 32 degrees for the next two nights. Pasadena is down in the mid thirties. That's too cold for the LA area.
Relatives from Passdena spent Thankgiving with us. What a turn around in weather !!! LOL
Your relative's friends in Pasadena are going to blame them for bringing the COLD weather to LA.
I got to go and pack for tomorrow. I will take a jacket.
Wow--talk about a string of bad decisions going South on you! I bet she's still in Jail!
From what I read, she's out on $10,000 bond. Oh, and she has to appear in court at a later date. It will be interesting to see how that turns out. I'm not sure the status of her son. He was arrested I'm sure for assault on an officer. We'll probably not find out the outcome of that ruling due to his age.
Yep, and her vacation trip from Tennessee will last a tad longer than she planned for. And a simple "Yes Officer, I'll sign the ticket" would have prevented all this--and all for doing 71 in a 55--they'll give you 10 but not 16!
This woman taught her children to disrespect law enforcement, attack them, and try to skirt the law. It is the culture of hate and violence.
She cares nothing for the law. The officer cut her a break by not writing her a ticket for expired license. Typical welfare mom....5-6 kids, public support, teaching their kids to be just like them. If she were white, they would have arrested her before the high speed chase. I'm really sick of the preferential treatment because they are afraid being called racist. (which she did anyway) We don't owe them preferential treatment. She had drugs and had been arrested for drunk driving before. So typical.
Can't help but wonder how, if she was having such a tough time as a single Mother of 5,she could afford a trip from Tennessee to New Mexico with 5 kids in a Mini-van. But her decision-making ability is clearly deficient.
and are on gov support, you have all the time in the world to explore, and time and money are no object. I think I've told everyone, I've been out of state a lot, managing an elderly relative's properties. She had over 50 houses and trailers. Because she was over 90, she couldn't go chase them down for the rent so she rented to Section 8. I have done this for going on 2 years now. I've thrown most of the Section 8 renters out. I have seen these people first hand, and unless you have, it is really hard to comprehend what a ride the American public is being taken for.
Very few work, it is a program that once you get on, you can stay on for life. There is no time limit. Unlike SS you don't have to earn it, and the more kids you have, the bigger the house, the bigger the house, the better the neighborhood. (Weiland in back of Publix in Tyrone). The gov, (us) house them very well. Once you get on that, you also get WICS, food stamps, etc. The sad thing is, this program in the beginning, was designed to help the working poor, mildly retarded, elderly, and it had time limits. It was designed to be a hand up, but the housing authority, etc, got involved and said you couldn't throw them off cause they were lazy and took out the time limits. I've sent in 16 page rap sheets on some of them I threw out, only for Section 8 to write them another voucher after I let S8 know they tore our property to smithers.
They have a sense of entitlement that is off the ricter scale. Most have ex con boyfriends. They might be the scariest thing about it. Never the less, I throw them out. I believe in my heart that the people we have living around them deserve better than to come home to a robbed house.
I really can't stand them, and if for that, some here would say I'm racist....oh well.
Because of the spawning...their total is now up to 13% of the population.
The middle class has been destroyed by taking care of them. It is a sad thing and should be exposed for what it is.
sell your property, get out of this business and find one that is not dependent on you or your property. By participating, you support it.
Then go out and organize against government dependency programs by electing those that will abolish them.
what I've done is throw them out. I don't blame my relative, but I have a choice. And that is what I've done, made a choice not to participate. That is what my whole tirade was about. I won't be a part of it, it is demoralizing.
Believe it or not - groups have worked for years trying to get these programs to provide a 'hand-up' rather than a 'hand-out'. You can do your own research to see in some states, what politicians worked against such reforms. Power in our country and others has depended on an uneducated, poor constituency remaining 'poor and uneducated'. Since the Civil Rights movement - it has become apparent that the poor and uneducated come in all colors in the United States. What is happening to one of the contributors to this discussion is not, unfortunately unique. There are Section 8 homes throughout the US - some in 'Beverly Hills' like communities. The inhabitants of these 'homes' come in all colors. Racism would not be accused if situations were dealt with based on reforms instituted that would stop fraud and corruption.
As long as there are Americans who identify 'hate and violence' as belonging to those of a certain 'race' rather than a criminal/hateful element in our society - there will continue to be problems in race relations in our country. We work with 'white and black' persons (we - meaning well meaning white and black Americans) daily to point out that the American culture is not one of 'hate and violence' perpetuated by the 'white and/or black American citizens of 2013. The culture of hate and violence is perpetuated by criminals and haters - and there is no color barrier to the minority of citizens in our country who fit this category. There are some religions/philosophies that teach that man is made in the image and likeness of God. There are those individuals in our history (history of mankind) that have exemplified the goodness, love, compassion and understanding of one who reflects the image and likeness of God. We have been fortunate in our lifetime to witness individuals who were able to be better reflections than most. Many should realize that feelings about preferential treatment feed into the philosophy of hate and violence - using hate and violence to 'get back'. MLK, Mandela and many, many others recognized the destructive results of 'revenge' or 'get even' attitude. Nonviolence assisted the US to make a change in how it treated fellow citizens.
Of course people who have experienced the result of a preferential, segregated existence understand the feelings of those who feel others receive preferential treatment today. It is too bad that the US did not go through a reconciliation period after the Civil Rights movement. The younger generation is our hope in making continued progress in race relations in the US.
What are you going to do about the crime boiling up in your neck of the woods?
citizens and leaders of Fayetteville. PTCO, I'm from LA. Crime is not 'boiling up' in Fayetteville. As I stated before, Fayetteville is a community of haves - being attacked by the 'have nots'. PTC seems to have areas of 'have nots' within your city limits. What are you doing to address this? Your city also has residents on the 'arrest' reports.
LOOK IT UP!! ITEMS ARE TO BE DELIVERED BY DECEMBER 23rd.
Have a happy holiday!!
I do what I do every year about this time. You should think about the have nots like those in Haiti and the Philippines. Now, those are "have nots" DM. I think the Samaritans are a great bunch of folks and they do a great job for our local families in need, but they are far, far from "have nots".
Besides, we're talking about crime DM, in Fayetteville, specifically HWY 319 and 85 HWY north. What are you doing about it? let's see some tangible action on your part, let's hear about it!
Thank you for helping the families in Haiti. My friends who have adopted Haitian children here in Fayetteville also thank you. There is a group here who monthly assist the Haitian people - as my family does. However, these actions are done out of LOVE - not for publicity. wahaa wahaa wahaa
As for Fayetteville - I communicate with those who can do something and ARE DOING something about the crime in Fayetteville - the Mayor, and the Police Chief. It works here in Fayetteville. Our leaders listen and act.
If you've been to Haiti, you know the meaning of "have nots".
She isn't doing anything about it. She thinks it's all whitey's fault. She and her racist cronies of the NAAKKKP are too busy trying to drag us back to the 50's with there racist, segregationism.
start to hear the sound from Peanuts' cartoons when parents are talking-----WAHH, WAHH, WAHH, WAHH, WAHH?
Crime in the black community is an epidemic. Get back to us when white people are not FOURTEEN TIMES more likely to be victims of black on white crime than white on white crime. Get back to us when the minority population stops committing 52% of all crime.
If Obama had a sister she'd look like Oriana. LOL
What an astute observation! Thanks for sharing. (By the way, Obama does have a sister - don't see a resemblance - but respect your observation.)
Half sister, different father, same mother.
"Like others, I found fault with the officer that fired three rounds at the van as it departed. Yes, he was the last to arrive and there always is that "driven" response to stop a fleeing individual but shooting at the van really wasn't proper. I suppose he knows that now."
I disagree. The officers saw it was a high speed chase through town and tried to prevent it by shooting out the tires. What she did was really scary, she was going through a town at a high rate of speed and could have killed a carload of someone else's kids, even if she didn't care that much for her own.
I hope they put her under the jail. She could have left someone dead or paralyzed for the rest of their lives. He tried to cut her a break. He stated on the tape her drivers license was expired and he wasn't even gonna charge her with that. She was really stupid
Yes, what she did was incredibly stupid and she and her son should pay whatever price the law of the realm will apply. However, trying to disable her fleeing van by shooting out a tire with his service revolver is....well is way outside of normal prudent procedures. His superiors reasoned that as well. I noticed another officer had pull his service revolver but yet withheld fire.
BTW, that tire offered a very small target for a hand gun and if it was a 9mm round it most likely would not have penetrated the rotation tread nor the steel belted tire casing. But hey, it does work in the movies.

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
Researchers See Recovery From Autism
Autism Recovery: Perspective continued...
An estimate of a 10% recovery rate for those with autism seems plausible, says Martha Herbert, MD, PhD, a pediatric neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston. In the past, estimates of recovery have ranged from 3% to 25%. Among autism experts, she says, there is a growing consensus that recovery is possible.
"More and more people are beginning to think autism is not entirely 'hard-wired,'" Herbert tells WebMD. Herbert was a co-author on one of Fein's previously published papers, but is not a co-author on the research presented in Chicago. She serves also as director of the treatment-guided research initiative with the Autism Society of America.

An emaciated man whose boat washed up on a remote Pacific atoll this week claims he survived 16 months adrift on the Pacific, floating more than 8,000 miles from Mexico, a researcher said Friday.
The man, with long hair and beard, was discovered Thursday when his 24-foot fiberglass boat with propellerless engines floated onto the reef at Ebon Atoll and he was spotted by two locals.
"His condition isn't good, but he's getting better," Ola Fjeldstad, a Norwegian anthropology student doing research on Ebon, the southern most outpost of the Marshalls, told AFP by telephone.
Fjeldstad said the man, dressed only in a pair of ragged underpants, claims he left Mexico for El Salvador in September 2012 with a companion who died at sea several months ago.
Details of his survival are sketchy, Fjeldstad added, as the man only speaks Spanish, but he said his name was Jose Ivan.
"The boat is really scratched up and looks like it has been in the water for a long time," said the researcher from Ebon.
Ivan indicated to Fjeldstad that he survived by eating turtles, birds and fish and drinking turtle blood when there was no rain.
No fishing gear was on the boat and Ivan suggested he caught turtles and birds with his bare hands. There was a turtle on the boat when it landed at Ebon.
Stories of survival in the vast Pacific are not uncommon.
In 2006, three Mexicans made international headlines when they were discovered drifting, also in a small fiberglass boat near the Marshall Islands, in the middle of the ocean in their stricken boat, nine months after setting out on a shark-fishing expedition.
They survived on a diet of rainwater, raw fish and seabirds, with their hope kept alive by reading the Bible.
And in 1992, two fishermen from Kiribati were at sea for 177 days before coming ashore in Samoa.
According to Fjeldstad, the Marshall Islanders who found Ivan took him to the main island on the atoll, which is so remote there is only one phone line at the local council house and no Internet, to meet Mayor Ione de Brum, who put in a call to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Majuro.
Officials at the Foreign Ministry said Friday they were waiting to get more details and for the man to be brought to Majuro.
The government airline's only plane that can land at Ebon is currently down for maintenance and is not expected to return to service until Tuesday at the earliest, with officials considering sending a boat to pick up the castaway.
"He's staying at the local council house and a family is feeding him," said Fjeldstad, who added that the man had a basic health check and was found to have low blood pressure.
But he did not appear to have any life-threatening illness and was able to walk with the aid of men on the island.
"We've been giving him a lot of water, and he's gaining strength," said the Norwegian.
The Marshall Islands, in the northern Pacific, are home to barely 60,000 people spread over 24 atolls, with most of them standing at an average of just two metres above sea level.

ACC / Big 10 Challenge Matchups Released
This challenge is going to be difficult to predict with 7 out of 12 ACC coaches either in their first or second year on the job. That being said, I'll take an early swing at it (winning team in bold). Miami at Purdue - Miami has a lot coming back, but Purdue is very tough to beat at home. Northwestern at Georgia Tech - Georgia Tech will be playing an hour from campus with a depleted roster. Illinois at Maryland - Illinois lost a lot, but Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson are a better 1-2 punch than anything Maryland has. Michigan at Virginia - UVA returns a lot and gets Mike Scott back. Michigan lost their best player. Clemson at Iowa - Call me a homer, but Clemson has more talent and Iowa is still rebuilding. Duke at Ohio State - Duke doesn't have a PG and their best player is a freshman. In an early season game, advantage OSU. Indiana at North Carolina State - These teams have comparable talent, so advantage home team. Penn State at Boston College - BC lost EVERYTHING, but bring in a solid class. PSU lost Talor Battle. Florida State at Michigan State - On paper these teams are very close, but I'll take Izzo at home. Virginia Tech at Minnesota - Always pick against VT in meaningful non-conference games. Wake Forest at Nebraska - Wake is a train wreck. Wisconsin at North Carolina. - Great matchup of contrasting styles. I expect Wisc to frustrate UNC with their pace for awhile. Big 10 - 7 ACC - 5

Last month, we reviewed the origins of the need for and the standards surrounding electrical safety ratings as well as some of the terminology related to the topic. This month, we delve into design considerations and address some of the most common confusion points so you will be better informed when making purchasing decisions
The concept of standard development begins with considering the specific hazard or hazards the standard is being developed to address. In the case of hazardous locations, explosion was the primary hazard of concern; however, the wide variation in explosive materials, ignition temperatures and materials concentrations caused standards writers to classify hazardous locations based on empirically derived data that combined the various environmental factors.
In North America, the National Electrical Code (NEC) has traditionally used a Class/Division/Group designation to identify the potential of the atmosphere, and conversely, the level of protection that must be employed by electrical devices installed in or introduced to that location. Under the NEC, there are three classes, two divisions per class and a total of seven groups (four groups in Class I and three groups in Class II). These break down as shown in the accompanying chart.
In addition, there are 14 temperature classifications for approved devices in the U.S. under NEC 500. Temperature classifications indicate the highest allowable operating temperature for any individual component used within the device. For example, a device may have been tested to a Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, G, T3. T3 indicates the maximum component surface temperature of 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for the device when operating within its approved ambient temperature rating (if no ambient temperature range is indicated, it is understood to be from -20oC to 40oC). This temperature classification indicates the maximum thermal hazard temperature for its rated gas or dust groups. Under certain circumstances, coal dust has a minimum ignition temperature as low as 160oC (320oF), so this device would not be suitable for this particular explosive atmosphere. (See http://www.msha.gov/S&HINFO/TECHRPT/P&T/COALDUST.pdf.)
What this means is that hundreds of combinations of designators are used to describe the hazardous location; thus, an infinite number of levels of electrical safety certifications. Generic terms such as "Intrinsically Safe" or "Non-Incendive" are insufficient to describe the appropriateness of certification to environment.
Assessing risk
To understand what protection level is necessary and what safety margin is provided, one must first perform a risk assessment. This does not need to be complicated or difficult; however, consideration is necessary as costs can rise and performance can decrease as you move up the spectrum.
Classes are fairly straightforward. The NEC, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) all define classes by the ignitable substance that is or can become present. What is the primary hazard from which you expect protection? Usually, those of us in the fire service are concerned about gases, so this places the focus on Class I locations.
Divisions are where confusion enters the picture. In a Division 1 location, the substance or hazard is present or can become present under normal operating conditions within the location. An example may be a metal coating or treatment facility where metal objects are placed in an open container or vat containing flammable chemicals. In this case, the potential for atmosphere to reach the lower explosive limit (LEL) for those particular chemicals is normally present. In a Division 2 location, the worker is typically isolated from the dangerous chemicals and would only be exposed should there be a rupture of containment, failure of equipment or other abnormal condition.

Dragons in Toby Faletau fitness fear
10:10am Monday 24th September 2012 in Sport By Chris Kirwan
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons are sweating on the fitness of Wales star Toby Faletau after he injured his right ankle in the warm-up for Saturday's clash with Munster, writes Chris Kirwan.
The 21-year-old number eight, who was set to be among the replacements, left Thomond Park in a 'moon boot' after suffering a swelling on his return to the changing-room following a pre-match blow.
It meant the Dragons had just seven on their bench in the 33-13 RaboDirect Pro12 loss because regulations meant Faletau could not be replaced with travelling reserve Hywel Stoddart at such a late time.
Tom Brown produced an all-action performance at the heart of the back row against Munster but the Dragons will be keen to have the option of Faletau for Friday's crucial encounter with Edinburgh at Rodney Parade.
The region then travel to Llanelli for the derby against the Scarlets before the start of their Amlin Challenge Cup campaign.
Wales will also have their fingers crossed for good news about 17-times capped Faletau ahead of the autumn internationals, which start with the visit of Argentina to Cardiff on November 10.
Meanwhile, Dragons head coach Darren Edwards paid tribute to his players after they responded to their meek loss to Cardiff Blues with a much-improved performance in Limerick, albeit one that wasn't reflected on the scoreboard.
"Edinburgh is a massive game but if we reproduce what we did against a good Munster team then we will be all right," said head coach Darren Edwards.
"There is no doubt that we failed to do ourselves justice against the Blues but on Saturday we had a good tempo to our game.
"Of course we are not happy with coming away from a game with nothing but we are making small steps and the boys really stuck in there.
"We went toe to toe against a good Munster side but they gave us a lesson in being clinical – they took every point that was on offer out there.
"There is plenty for us to build on from that performance, while there was nothing after the Blues. That momentum needs to be carried into the Edinburgh game now, because it really is a must-win."
The Dragons have failed to add to the five points that they earned on the opening night against Zebre and have slipped to tenth in the table after three defeats on the spin.

NELSPRUIT, South Africa (AP) -- Nigeria's players continued their fierce criticism of Egyptian referee Ghead Grisha on Saturday, still unhappy with the penalty which defending champion Zambia converted in the African Cup of Nations match for a 1-1 draw.
Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama claimed the decision to penalize Ogenyi Onazi for a foul near the edge of the area in Friday's match was "the worst penalty award I have ever seen in my entire football career."
In a statement from the team on Saturday, defender Onazi said the Confederation of African Football "should please tell them (referees) to stop killing African football."
Defender Azubuike Egwueke said tournament organizer CAF "should help us plead with the referees to be fair to the team."
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi claimed his team had also been treated unfairly in its opening game against Burkina Faso. Nigeria defender Efe Ambrose was sent off for two yellow card offenses, before Burkina Faso scored an equalizer in stoppage time.
"I want people to be able to judge themselves, but we had terrible officiating in the first game where we had five yellow cards plus a red card and our opponent had one single yellow card," Keshi said.
Nigeria meets Ethiopia in its final group game on Tuesday, when only victory will guarantee it a place in the quarterfinals.

It could be a medical breakthrough for those with Parkinson's Disease. Researchers at the Cedars - Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles say they were able to clear up the trembling and rigid muscles of a Parkinson's patient by treating the man with a transplant of his own brain cells.
Dopamine is a key chemical in the brain which acts as a message carrier for movement. Parkinson's is caused when brain cells that produce Dopamine die off, so doctors removed some brain cells from the patient, grew them in a lab until they had a cluster producing Dopamine, then, injected the cells back into the patient's brain. It worked. The trembling stopped. That's just one patient, but the FDA was impressed enough to give the okay to try it on many more patients.

Disclaimer: I'm trying to do a serious post and i'm not really good at writing, so i warn you if you are expecting great literature, go somewhere else.
When i heard that the Jets traded for Tim Tebow, i was upset for 2 reasons; 1) We really didn't need another distraction in the shape of a backup Quarterback and 2) We gave up a 4th and 6th round pick.
Besides for the fact that i believed that giving up anything for Tebow was over paying, the fact that we gave up these picks was upsetting. The Jets have drafted pretty well in the later rounds (lets say 4-7, since those are the rounds picked on Saturday) since Rex has become coach.
Since i have to get past this jump thingy, we'll do it now.
Even though it is a limited sample size (3 years) and a small number of picks (7 in all) The Jets have had reasonable success in the later rounds. Since 09, the Jets have drafted 3 starters late in the draft; Matt Slauson, Guard ('09 6th round), John Conner, Fullback ('10, 5th round) and Jeremy Kerley, Wide Reciever ('11, 5th round). Also picked late were Joe Mcknight, a 4th rounder in 2010 is our #2 running back who had the best Kick Return Avg for in the AFC, and a QB who can be very interesting in the future in Greg McElroy (7th round last year).
Discount Scotty McKnight, a late 7th rounder last year who's friendship with Sanchez might have been the only reason he was drafted instead of a UFA, and you got a pretty nice haul. Of course, none of these players are pro bowlers yet, but Slauson is an above avg Gaurd who probably had the best year of any member of the Jets OL in my opinion, and Kerley is looking like Cotchery 2.0 with great punt returning abilities. Conner is a decent Fullback,our run game seems better whenever he's in, and maybe Bilal Powell (4th round last yearcan show some promise in the future and raise this embarrassing stat line.
So, what am i trying to say? The Jets have 7 late round picks this year; A 5th, 3 6th's and 3 7th rounders. As shown above, we've been pretty good at getting value in those rounds since '09, is it that crazy to think that we can fill some needs with these picks? Especially with our success in these rounds and the fact that we have as many of these picks as we've had the last 3 years combined. I'm not expecting a starting saftey or a wr, but depth at these positions is something we definitely need.
I'm not really a draft expert, so if anyone has any suggestions for people to target with our many picks, feel free to put post (or is it comment?) them below.
Thank you for reading this hastily put together piece.

One of the men accused of kidnapping and killing a school teacher in Montana has been granted a change of venue.
Michael Spell is charged with murdering Sherry Arnold in January of 2012.
Today his defense team argued he would not be able to get a fair trial in Sidney.
They had Dr. Richard Seltzer, a political science professor at Howard University, conduct a poll in Richland County.
Seltzer testified from Washington, D.C. that he found more than 97 percent of the people surveyed had heard about the case, and 79 percent of those say they think Spell is guilty.
Spell's defense team had asked Judge Richard Simonton to move the case to Bozeman.
However, he decided the trial should be moved to Glendive in Dawson County. Spell's trial is scheduled to begin in January.
