Stop Tailgating Me, a bumper sticker often found on vehicles of slow ass drivers. Seeing this bumper sticker makes you want to tailgate them even more than if they didn't have the sticker at all, basically it's superfluous.
Dude, that trucks got an STM sticker on it, let's tailgate 'em!

Beküldő: Miow_epicness 2010. július 21.
Sexually Transmitted Marketing (STM). A viral marketing campaign that uses blatantly obvious sexual innuendo to spread itself across the internet and/or social networks, leaving victims of its tasteless imagery feeling almost as dirty as those who catch its biological counterpart (see STD).
Nadia: I think I caught an STM on Facebook yesterday, some new "NutLiquor" vodka that was "69 proof" and had "no salty aftertaste"
Marc: You should get that checked.

The RASV is a member based organisation that has a proud history of providing industry with valuable platforms to advance excellence in agriculture, primarily through conducting consistent benchmarking and high calibre award programs and events.
These award programs and events provide those with a direct involvement in primary and secondary production, particularly in Victoria, with unique opportunities to improve industry standards, establish credibility and provide market differentiation.
The Royal Melbourne Show, Victoria's largest annual community event conducted by the RASV, provides industry with opportunities to engage and connect annually with half a million consumers over 12 days and build their knowledge and understanding of the vital role agriculture plays in everyday life.
Furthermore, the RASV manages Melbourne Showgrounds, Victoria's largest and most versatile venue for trade shows, exhibitions and events.
More about what we do
The RASV greatly appreciates and values the participation of all exhibitors and congratulates all winners on their success. Learn more about the 2014 Royal Melbourne Show Blue Ribbon winners.

Hi: 7° Lo:-4°
LEAMINGTON archer Naomi Folkard warmed up for the Olympic Games by winning a silver medal in the European outdoor target championships in Amsterdam.
The event, in the run up to the Olympics, was attended by archers from 40 countries, many of whom will be representing their nations in the London.
Folkard, for whom London will be her third Olympics, shot well all week in the recurve competition.
She qualified in 8th place with a score of 640 for the FITA 70 qualification round of six dozen arrows.
This placing was just high enough to give her byes for the first two head-to-head rounds, so she entered the individual matches at 1/16 stage.
Folkard easily won her first match 7-1 against Leila Fazilova (Azerbaijan) before overcoking Anna Szukalska (Poland) 6-4.
Folkard continued her good form by beating Natalia Lesniak (Poland), 6-2 in the quarter-finals.
Folkard defeated Carina Christiansen (Denmark) 7- 3 in the last four which set up a clash against the number two qualifier Ksenia Perova (Russia) in the final.
Folkard shot well in very tricky windy conditions but Perova, who had knocked out GB team-mate Alsion Williamson in the last eight, triumphed 6–0.
Archery GB performance director Sara Symington said: "It's been a great week for Naomi. She had a fantastic run to the final and winning a silver medal at the European Championships is a great confidence boost."

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Karen Ocamb after receiving a NLGJA award in 2012.
Congratulations to Los Angeles-based journalist Karen Ocamb. Her remarkable photo-essay at lgbt/pov entitled "Nuance and LGBT-News" not only explains why the glbtq press continues to be necessary even as gay issues are covered by the mainstream press, but it also constitutes a mini-history of glbtq activism in Los Angeles and of Ocamb's own admirable career.
Ocamb's central point is that a gay press is necessary "to provide insight, balance and often accuracy to stories where chasing and grasping nuance is too often perceived as a chore or a luxury to mainstream reporters on deadline."
Active as a reporter of glbtq news since the 1980s, and currently news editor at Frontiers In LA magazine, Ocamb came out in the midst of the AIDS crisis. "I didn't know how to be useful other than to write about what I saw," she states.
By writing about what she saw, Ocamb did something very useful indeed. She recorded with nuance and understanding the struggles and triumphs of the Los Angeles movement for equal rights.
The essay is illustrated by a treasure trove of photographs, most of them taken by Ocamb herself, depicting movement figures such as Robert Hattoy, Harry Hay, Jim Kepner, Morris Kight, Judith Light, Sir Ian McKellen, David Mixner, Paul Monette, Urvasha Vaid, Sgt. Perry Watkins, Winston Wilde, Phill Wilson, Terry Wolverton, and many others.
In the video below, recorded in February 2012, when Ocamb was honored by the National Gay and Lesbian Journalism Association, she explains her continuing enthusiasm for glbtq journalism.

Apple releases testimony before CEO's Senate appearance
Apple has released a document containing CEO Tim Cook's testimony ahead of his scheduled appearance tomorrow before US Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Responding to questions about the company keeping more than $100 billion overseas, Apple used the testimony to state that it does not use tax gimmicks, and "has substantial foreign cash because it sells the majority of its products outside the US." The company also points out that it is "likely the largest corporate income tax payer in the US" and notes that it has "created or supported approximately 600,000 jobs in the US."
As anticipated by comments from Cook last year, Apple proposes that the current US corporate tax system must be reformed — "to reflect both the digital age and the globalization of commerce." The company believes comprehensive reform should "be revenue neutral; eliminate all corporate tax expenditures; lower corporate income tax rates; and implement a reasonable tax on foreign earnings that allows free movement of capital back to the US." It does not make more specific proposals in the testimony, but suggests that the simplification of the tax system is in line with its long-held belief system that simplicity is superior to complexity.

For New Technologies – Like 3D Printers – What Product Safety Standard Applies?
by admin on Nov.24, 2014, under Product Safety
Product safety compliance for equipment that falls into an established product category is straightforward. But what about new technologies – how are these products evaluated?
As a case example, let's look at 3D printers. 3D printers aren't new, but they are just now entering the mainstream, with many more manufacturers developing new small desktop versions for consumers or larger industrial versions for businesses. Also called additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping, 3D printing is the process of using specialized equipment to build a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by layering many successive thin layers of a material, such as plastic polymers or powdered metal or even food ingredients.
This post contains guidelines for selecting the appropriate safety standards for equipment associated with 3D printing and additive manufacturing, and can serve as an example for other new technology products that can't be easily categorized.
The intent is to associate 3D printing and additive manufacturing equipment with relevant, existing safety standards for the various current uses of this technology, including commercial, consumer, food processing and medical equipment. Generally, existing standards that cover similar types of equipment used in similar operating environments may be used for equipment associated with additive manufacturing.
Here are the standards that cover 3D printing and additive manufacturing equipment for various potential uses:
International: IEC 60950-1 Safety of ITE or IEC 62368-1 Safety of AV & ICT Equipment
US: UL 60950-1 Safety of ITE or UL 62368-1 Safety of AV & ICT Equipment
EU: Low Voltage (LV), 2006/95/EC, 2014/35/EU
Food Preparation – Household
International: IEC 60335-2-14 Kitchen Machines
US: UL 982 Motor-Operated Household Food Preparing Machines
EU: Low Voltage (LV), 2006/95/EC, 2014/35/EU
Food Preparation – Commercial
International: IEC 60335-2-64 Safety of Commercial Electric Kitchen Machines
US: UL 763 Motor-Operated Commercial Food Preparing Machines
EU: Low Voltage (LV), 2006/95/EC, 2014/35/EU
International: IEC 60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment
US: ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment
EU: Medical Devices (MDD), 93/42/EEC
When the equipment involves technologies, materials or methods of construction not specifically covered by the standard, the equipment should provide safeguards not less than that generally afforded by the applicable standard and the principles of hazard-based safety engineering, as found in standards like IEC 62368-1.
Of course, there are additional compliance requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) – FCC & Industry Canada in North America, the EMC Directive in the EU, and other EMC requirements around the world.
Contact MET, a leading 3rd party test laboratory, to determine what requirements apply to your equipment.
GR-3160-CORE is NEBS Lite for Data Center Equipment
by admin on Nov.18, 2014, under NEBS
GR-3160-CORE, NEBS Requirements for Telecommunications Data Center Equipment and Spaces, is sometimes described as 'NEBS Lite.' It includes important reliability and safety requirements, without the full set of hurdles found in the NEBS telecom standards, like GR-1089-CORE and GR-63-CORE.
But what exactly are the differences for equipment evaluation? Following is a basic overview.
The test requirements are the same for NEBS and GR-3160 in these areas:
- Acoustic Noise
- Airflow
- Energy Efficiency
- Handling Shock
- Illumination
- Surface Temperature
In other areas, the test requirements for GR-3160 are looser or non-existent:
Bonding & Grounding
NEBS – Requirements for reliable ground methods as well as short-circuit tests
GR-3160 – Requirements for reliable ground methods, but no short-circuit tests
Corrosion, SSPI, DC Potential Difference
NEBS – Required
GR-3160 – No requirement
DC Power Compatibility
NEBS – Requires transient tests as well as DC noise emissions and immunity
GR-3160 – Requirements for grounding of return conductor of centralized sources and DC-I configuration of loads
Earthquake & Office Vibration
NEBS – Full scale tests in all cases
GR-3160 – Checklist review for redundant or non-critical sites; test for others
EMC – Emissions
NEBS – Only NEBS method
GR-3160 – FCC or NEBS
EMC – Immunity
NEBS – Testing from 10kHz to 10GHz
GR-3160 – NEBS only from 30MHz to 10GHz or EN 55024
NEBS – Required
GR-3160 – An Objective
Fire Resistance – Materials
NEBS – Materials level fire resistance tests required
GR-3160 – No test if facility has suppression, detection, and disconnection means and equipment is listed
Fire Resistance – Spread
NEBS – Full scale fire spread tests required
GR-3160 – No test if facility has suppression, detection, and disconnection means and equipment is listed
Heat Dissipation
NEBS – Objective Limit
GR-3160 – No Objective Limit
Intra-building and AC Power Port Lightning
NEBS – Only NEBS method
GR-3160 – NEBS or EN 300 386
Mixed Flowing Gas & Hygroscopic Dust
NEBS – Required for all hardware
GR-3160 – No requirements
Operating Temperature
NEBS – Short-term -5C to 50C; 7 day test
GR-3160 – Narrower range requirement; 2 day test
NEBS – NEBS specific
GR-3160 – Listing to EN 60950
Transport & Handling Temperature & RH
GR-3160 – No requirement
GR-3160 was created with input from 19 participating companies, including Verizon, AT&T, Telcordia, Dell, Intel, Juniper Networks, and Brocade. The committee's goal was to focus on critical, high-value areas, relying on popular commercial standards when possible, and encouraging the use of well-designed and robust COTS equipment. Where testing can be avoided (e.g. earthquake), alternatives like the checklist are utilized. This approach takes advantage of data center infrastructure and network architecture redundancy.
MET Labs is a pioneer in NEBS testing, and we are equally skilled in testing data center equipment for reliability, energy efficiency, and safety. Contact us today to determine if your equipment is best suited for full NEBS or a more limited program.
UL Safety Standards for Lighting Undergoing Revisions
by admin on Nov.17, 2014, under Product Safety
The only constant? Change. Product safety standards are almost always in some state of being updated. Here is a summary of changes afoot for some of the most popular UL lighting safety standards:
UL 1598 – Luminaires (Tri-national standard)
The next 2-year revision cycle has started. CSA (the Publication Coordinator) sent proposals to the Technical Harmonization Committee (THC) Chair and the proposals were reviewed and discussed during the February 2014 CANENA meeting. Contact MET for the status of UL 1598A (Marine Vessel Installation) or UL 1598B (Reflector Kits).
UL 1993 – Self-Ballasted Lamps and Lamp Adapters (Tri-national standard)
The next revision cycle has started. Multiple proposals went out, and comments have been sent to the THC for review and input. Here is a summary of topics.
UL 935 – Fluorescent-Lamp Ballasts (10th edition)
Proposals went out for 1) the addition of requirements for ballasts intended to be dimmed using solid-state dimming controls electrically wired in series with the mains supply and 2) revising the arcing test method in Section 30. The revisions were published on August 7, 2014. For the tri-national standard, the draft of Part 1 (covering general construction and test requirements) is being reviewed by the CANENA Harmonization Committee (THC34/SC34C). The Part 2 documents, which will include specific requirements for the various product types, still need to be developed.
UL 1786 – Direct Plug-In Nightlights (Bi-national standard)
The next revision cycle has started. Multiple proposals went out. Here is a summary of topics.
UL 1838 – Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Systems
A proposal went out for a revision to ambient temperature measurement method.
UL 48 – Electric Signs
Proposals went out for 1) clarification of drain opening requirements, 2) grounding and bonding marking, 3) addition of requirements for laminated or organic-coated glass and revision to test method, and 4) addition of requirements for signs with photovoltaic systems or modules. Three out of the four topics gained consensus – grounding and bonding marking did not. Revision pages will be issued in the near future. In development is a proposed 1st edition for UL 48B (Changing Message Signs and Displays).
MET Labs is OSHA-accredited to product safety test and certify to all of these standards for the U.S. NRTL program and SCC-accredited for many additional CSA lighting safety standards for Canada. Find out why MET has a reputation as the Better Service Alternative to UL – Contact us today.

Top 20 Non-Compliance Findings for Panel & Motor-Operated Equipment
by admin on Nov.10, 2014, under Uncategorized
Here at MET Labs, we've been product safety testing electrical/electronic equipment in the field for over 55 years. Naturally, we see the same failures over and over again. We hope this list of Top 20 Field Failures for Panel & Motor-Operated Equipment will help inspectors identify and contractors fix the most commonly observed non-compliances.
1. Supplementary Protector Usage – Supplementary Protectors are used incorrectly as branch circuit protection. When used incorrectly, these components are known to fail – welding closed and causing fires/short circuits. These can either be replaced by UL 489 listed circuit breakers or branch circuit fuses (suitable for the circuit rating).
2. Risk of Electrical Shock – Covers over live electrical parts are not secured properly. A tool or key is required to access areas that pose a risk of electrical shock.
3. Dedicated Ground – The main incoming grounding conductor is not terminated at its own dedicated point (e.g. there were two wires in the grounding terminal). The secondary ground must be moved to another grounding terminal.
4. Motor Overload Protection – Overload charts are not provided in the panel to verify the rating of the overload protection.
5. Protection of Power Supplies – The manufacturer's instructions for overcurrent protection are not followed.
6. Strain Relief – An internal terminal strain relief device is not provided.
7. Working Space – Control panels are located too close to the wall and are not able to be serviced properly. The panel doors must be able to open at least 90 degrees.
8. Emergency Stop – Emergency stops are not provided at control and operator stations where shutdown would be required. These E-stops are required to override all other functions and operations in all modes (unless it creates another hazard).
9. Protection of Motor Drives – Motor drives are improperly protected per the manufacturer's installation instructions. These frequency drives require specific size and type primary fuses or listed circuit breakers depending upon the size of the drive.
10. Power Transformer Protection – Power Transformers are not properly protected on the primary or secondary, based on the appropriate tables in the related standards.
11. Control Transformer Protection – Control Transformers are not properly protected. In some cases, only primary protection was found when secondary protection was also needed.
12. Termination of Wiring – Some wires are not terminated or were improperly terminated. Improper multiple terminations is a common issue and could create overheating at the terminal.
13. Conductor Ampacities Based on Termination Ratings – Conductor sizing is done improperly. Conductors are sized based on conductor ampacity without consideration to termination ratings.
14. Wire Bending Space for Main Connections – Control panels don't have adequate wire bending space for the main connections, risking snapping the termination completely off.
15. Component Information – Components are not marked as certified (MET, CSA, UL, FM, ETL, VDE, JIS, etc.). Some components have CE marking, which is not acceptable.
16. Flexible Cords – Flexible cords are used improperly per NEC Article 400, which restricts the use of flexible cords for specific applications.
17. Multiple Power Sources – Panels that are fed with more than one source of power are not marked with a cautionary marking to protect the individual servicing the panel. This marking is required: "Caution, more than one disconnect, disconnect all before servicing."
18. Area Classification – The environment where the product is installed is inappropriate. For example, a product intended for Ordinary Locations cannot be installed in a Class 1 Division 2 location.
19. Panel Only Certification – A control panel is certified but the load served by the panel is not.
20. Equipment Markings – Marking labels are not suitable for the surface material and temperature applied or text is not of adequate size and of good contrast.

UL 1995 4th Edition Requires Retesting of HVAC/R Equipment
by admin on Nov.03, 2014, under Product Safety
The requirements for HVAC/R equipment safety have changed. UL 1995/CSA 22.2 No. 236 has been updated with the release of the 4th edition. This new edition came into effect October 14, 2014. If your products are currently certified to the 3rd edition, you must have your file updated to reflect 4th edition changes.
UL1995 covers a broad range of HVAC/R equipment, including both residential and commercial fan coil units, heat pumps, liquid chillers and more.
Following are some of the significant new testing requirements in the 4th edition:
- Loading test for ceiling/wall suspended equipment
- Electric heat back-up protection tests for free air discharge units
- Hydrostatic pressure test for hot water/steam coils operating at 93°C and below
- Short-circuit test for some conductors of crankcase heaters
- Wire flexing tests for high voltage/safety circuit conductors that are periodically moved
Here are important revisions to the motor section of the standard:
- With exceptions, ungrounded conductors must open on controllers for motor compressors to interrupt current
- UL 60730 may now be used as a component standard in conjunction with UL 991, UL 1998 and UL 508C for electronically protected motors
- With exceptions, electrically protected motor circuits must comply with their applicable UL/CSA standards
And here are new testing requirements that apply specifically to components:
- Air filters and media wheels/plates must comply with flame test requirements of UL 900, which is now spelled out further
- Contactors used in pressure-limiting circuits must have an endurance rating of 100,000 cycles or more
- Interlock mechanisms must comply with UL 353/CSA C22.2 No. 55 or meet new cycling requirements
MET Labs is U.S. NRTL OSHA-accredited for UL 1995 and Canada SCC-accredited for CSA 22.2 No. 236, with a reputation for quick and hassle-free safety testing and certification.

Electric Meter Testing Requirements Updated in ANSI C12.1-2014
by admin on Oct.27, 2014, under Meters
Three weeks ago, MET Labs joined other C12 Accredited Standards Committee members in St. Louis, MO at the EEI Transmission, Distribution & Metering Conference to discuss revisions to ANSI C12.1, which provides the basic requirements for all kilowatthour metering devices, both electronic and electromechanical.
This post highlights changes from the ANSI C12.1-2008 revision to the soon to be released ANSI C12.1-2014, as presented at the meeting by Jim Reed, MET's Meter Accuracy Lab Manager. ANSI C12.1 was modified in several sections to keep pace with industry trends and to provide clarity for tests.
Section 2
A number of definitions were added.
Section 3
18.104.22.168.2 (Performance requirements) – Tightened the % errors for portable and reference standards at reference conditions including a specific voltage and current.
126.96.36.199.3 (Variation for reference condition) – Gave additional percent errors for Portable and Reference Maximum Percent Errors @ 23°C over the designed range of voltage and current.
Section 4
4.7.1 (Test conditions under performance requirements) – Adds some clarity for the calibration level of the meters prior to entering into testing.
4.7.2 (Accuracy tests – internal influences) – A host of changes in this section, including the addition of a 0.5% accuracy classification. Contact MET for all of the changes in this section.
184.108.40.206 (Insulation) – A few changes, including the addition of a requirement to disconnect components providing a path in parallel with the insulation to be tested.
220.127.116.11 (Effect of high voltage line surges) – Adds an allowance for performing the accuracy performance check once after the completion of both a ring wave test and combination wave test.
220.127.116.11 (Effect of operating temperature) – A few changes, including ramp timing change from 6 to 5 hours.
22.214.171.124 (Effect of relative humidity) – A couple changes, including specifying test current between light load and class amps (same as 184.108.40.206).
Section 5
A number of changes in this section, including:
- Restructuring to provide clarity, guidelines and generally better reflect updated practices within the industry for in-service and new meter deployment.
- A test plan must be in place for metering devices at various set intervals (periodic interval plan, variable interval plan or a statistical sampling plan).
- Provides details for corrective actions that must be taken for any metering device or group of metering devices failing to meet performance criteria.
- Added recommendations on test data that should be recorded for the annual performance test programs.
- An Acceptable Quality Limit or AQL of 1.0% or less will be used to develop the acceptance criteria for all metering devices.
- Service switches to fall under a statistical sampling plan.
- Performance tests for integrated communication devices.
Appendix D (Periodic testing schedule) – Recommended periodic test program cleaned up to reference AMI meters specifically, and then all other meters.
Appendix F (Variable interval plan) – Includes an example of appropriate test rates based on failed meters.

AHJs Use NFPA 790 & 791 to Qualify Labs for Electrical Equipment Field Evaluations
by admin on Oct.14, 2014, under Product Safety
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) in the United States have typically used the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, as the basis for approving electrical equipment installations in the United Sates. Much of the Code relies on having products manufactured and certified by a recognized testing laboratory to consensus-based U.S. product safety standards.
In Canada, the AHJs use the locally adopted Code and rely on products certified to that country's adopted product safety standards.
However, this approach has historically proved challenging for AHJs, so industry organizations have created additional guidance documents. Here is a short history of this effort:
2003 – The American Council for Electrical Safety (ACES) publishes the Recommended Practice and Procedures for Unlabeled Electrical Equipment Evaluation. It became the de facto guide for delivering field evaluations.
2005 – ACES approves the Recommended Competency Guidelines for Third-Party Field Evaluation Bodies. It uses ISO Guide 65 as its foundation with input from ISO/IEC 17020.
2006 – The International Accreditation Service (IAS), a subsidiary of the International Code Council (ICC), issues AC 354, Accreditation Criteria for Field Evaluation of Unlisted Electrical Equipment.
2008 – The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) forms the Technical Committee for Electrical Equipment Evaluation (EEE).
2011 – The 2012 editions of NFPA 790, Standard for Competency of Third-Party Field Evaluation Bodies and NFPA 791, Recommended Practice and Procedures for Unlabeled Electrical Equipment Evaluation — are adopted.
2013 – IAS adopts an updated AC 354 that references NFPA 790 & 791.
2013 – The 2014 editions of ANSI/NFPA 790 and ANSI/NFPA 791 are issued.
NFPA 790 and NFPA 791 provide AHJs with the ability to qualify who can complete field evaluations for electrical products. Read more about what is specified in these standards in a previous Compliance Today blog post.
MET Labs is one of just a few agencies that operates a NFPA 790 & 791 Quality Management System in addition to being NRTL- and SCC-accredited. Contact us for a free field evaluation quotation.
ENERGY STAR Certification for Computers Now to Version 6.1
by admin on Oct.06, 2014, under ENERGY STAR
As of September 10th, 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STAR Version 6.1 requirements took effect. This newer version expands the scope of the computers program to include two new product types and a subtype of Notebook Computers. EPA chose to add Slates/Tablets, and Portable All-In-One computers to their product list and a Two-In-One Notebook subtype. Power management and energy efficiency criteria have also been added to the two new product types.
Note to manufacturers: These changes to the ENERGY STAR scope do not have an effect on previously certified products.
MET Labs is an EPA-recognized lab and/or certification body for 15 ENERGY STAR product categories. Get a free quote now to evaluate your product to Version 6.1 or any other energy efficiency standard.
MIL-STD-461 for Military EMC & GR-1089-CORE for NEBS Telecom EMC Share Some Requirements
by admin on Sep.30, 2014, under EMC, Military, NEBS
The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for telecom and military equipment are considered among the most difficult to meet for any industry. Not many electronics manufacturers conduct testing for both requirements, but it happens occasionally. For those who do, it's an advantage to pursue both at the same time, as there is some overlap. Following is a short MET Labs overview on some of the primary similarities and differences.
MIL-STD-461 is the primary EMC standard for military approvals. The current version is MIL-STD-461F, but previous versions may still be specified in U.S. military contracts.
GR-1089-CORE is the primary EMC standard for telecommunications (NEBS) equipment. The current version is Issue 6.
MIL-STD-461 is similar to section 2 and 3 of GR-1089 in that they both include EMC conducted and radiated emissions and susceptibility requirements, however the test methods are quite different.
For emissions, MIL-STD-461 requires use of a peak detector and the limits are more stringent for some platforms, like Army Ground. On the other hand, the radiated emissions test method could be considered less thorough because the test antenna and EUT are placed in one position, while for GR-1089 radiated emissions, the EUT is rotated 360 degrees and the antenna height is adjusted to find the maximum radiated emissions.
For susceptibility testing, MIL-STD-461 test method CS114 is similar to GR-1089 conducted susceptibility. Test method CS115 is somewhat similar to GR-1089 section 2 EFT. RS103 is similar to GR-1089 radiated susceptibility, however, for some military platforms, the test level is much higher than GR-1089 (up to 200V/m).
MIL-STD-461 does not include ESD testing, although many military test programs include IEC 61000-4-2 ESD testing along with -461. GR-1089 includes ESD testing in section 2 and references IEC 61000-4-2 for the test procedure.
Another occasionally-referenced military standard – MIL-STD-1399-070 DC Mag Field – is not like any GR-1089 test. This is a 1600A/m DC field, which is quite strong. If the EUT has no magnetic sensors, compass, or other magnetically sensitive components, it shouldn't be a problem. If the EUT does have those components, it would have to be specifically designed to withstand this test.

For Product Safety Approvals, Uncertified and Improperly-Rated Components Require Surveillance
by admin on Sep.24, 2014, under Product Safety
Electrical/electronic equipment manufacturers often ask if it is acceptable to use uncertified or improperly rated components in their products. The following Frequently Asked Questions address the implications of using these components for North America product safety approvals.
What is an uncertified component?
Any safety critical component that is not certified by a suitably accredited agency and that does not provide surveillance comparable to that required by United States and Canadian regulatory schemes.
What is an example of an uncertified component?
Some examples include power supplies, transformers, plastics, insulation, adhesives, potting compounds and more.
Is an improperly rated component the same as an uncertified component?
No. An improperly rated component is any safety critical component that, though it may be certified by a suitably accredited agency that does provide surveillance comparable to that required by United States and Canadian regulatory schemes, is not rated for the end-product application.
What is an example of an improperly rated component?
Some examples include power supplies connected to supply voltages greater than for which they are certified or flammable plastics rated for HB but required to be V-2 or better.
You used the term safety critical component – what does that mean?
Safety critical components are any component, material or substance that, if its performance or features change, can affect compliance with the essential safety requirements of the applicable standards.
Ok, I have equipment with uncertified/improperly rated components in it, what do I do now?
Usually the easiest route is to replace the component in question with one properly rated and certified for the end product application. Second easiest is to have the component certified by its manufacturer, if that's possible. The final option is to have the component evaluated and tested by MET Labs, with a schedule for continued compliance.
I understand it may take more time and money to safety certify a product with uncertified/improperly rated components in it, but are there other implications also?
Yes. If using uncertified components, there is no assurance of continued compliance even after evaluation and testing in product. If certified but improperly rated, there is no assurance of continued compliance even if tested in product. Changes may be made by the manufacturer that allow the item to remain compliant with original certification but that might cause it to become non-compliant in the end product application.
Is continued compliance a regulatory requirement?
Yes. The United States and Canadian certification schemes require surveillance to assure continued compliance. Surveillance applies to the end product and its components.
How is continued compliance enforced for a MET-certified component?
If a repeat of testing is not necessary and the item is not too complex to inspect at the same time as the end product inspection, the item may be described in detail in our report and our follow up inspector will verify continued compliance during the end product factory inspection. It is necessary that the report contain sufficient product description and instructions for effective surveillance.
More complex components are returned to the laboratory on a minimum of an annual basis for reevaluation and perhaps some retesting. Some components or circumstance might require more frequent surveillance.

- Summary: In Onimusha 3 Demon Siege the year is 1582 and 10 years have passed since the events that unfolded in Onimusha 2 Samurai?s Destiny. The stage is set at the burning Honnoji Temple, as the famous Onimusha warrior Samanosuke Akechi (Takeshi Kaneshiro) continues to fight the demons in his path. The moment has finally arrived for Samanosuke to confront the true enemy that has eluded him until now, the undying Nobunaga Oda. Unfortunately before the long-awaited final battle begins, Samanosuke is suddenly engulfed in a whirlpool of light and disappears. The year is 2004. A peaceful French metropolis is suddenly attacked by demons. In the blink of an eye, the city is transformed into a hellish sea of blood as Genma demons slaughter civilians and soldiers one by one. Within this pit of darkness appears one man who stands up against the Genma demons, Jacques Braun (Jean Reno). As a member of the French army, Jacques is deployed to the nightmarish scene only to discover himself amid a plague of horrific enemies that are beyond anyone?s imagination. An ancient samurai warrior unexpectedly appears to help him defend the helpless city. As they cooperatively fight off the demons, Jacquesis caught in a mysterious vortex and vanishes to feudal Japan, leaving the warrior behind in modern day France. Why has Samanosuke appeared in present Paris and Jacques in feudal Japan? What fate awaits these two men? The fierce and bloody battle is unfurled as the beginning of the final Onimusha chapter unfolds. [Capcom]… Expand

This is the best in the series and my nomination for action game of the year. I loved every minute of the game including finding all of the secrets in the game.
Onimusha 3 more accurately represents an action game like "Devil May Cry." Instead of the rigid control scheme used by the "Resident Evil" series, Onimusha 3 has fluid controls. Moving the analog stick around will directly move your character, instead of just turning him. [JPN Import]
This is in fact everything you have ever loved about Onimusha buffed out to the max. [June 2004, p.75]
The introduction of a secondary hero, as well as a number of side characters that aid and even have their own role to play in the defeat of Nobunaga's forces are handled very nicely, and the plot of the game is well constructed.
The new "Devil May Cry"-like control scheme makes it easy to quickly change targets and evade swarms of Genma demons. [July 2004, p.96]
A fitting tribute to the popular trilogy, granting fans everything they could hope for.
It could have been a great game rather than a merely average one if it backed up it's shiny new exterior with some added substance. Expect to be pleased, but don't expect any surprises.

The Easy Way to Get Rich Quick!
Over 100 years ago, Camping and Caravanning Club founding father and camping pioneer Thomas Hiram Holding wanted everyone to enjoy the "luxury of fresh air and outstanding scenery".
What he could never have foreseen, however, was the in-depth research which would be undertaken by the club, in conjunction with Liverpool John Moores University, during the course of 2010, to actually prove that "camping & caravanning makes you richer"!
It's true! The evidence collated by the Club really does prove that camping can make you richer....in mind, body and soul! Just take look at www.realrichness.co.uk.
Or ask anyone who goes camping, caravanning, motorhoming or trailer tenting for the 'money can't buy' experiences they have on every trip.
And then listen to how it's a priceless chance to get closer to nature. How working together to pitch the tent or set up the caravan, cook the food and share the chores brings families closer together in a way that everyday life can't. And how there's a genuine, old-fashioned sense of community in camping that maybe we're losing through new forms of 'social networking'.
So how can YOU "get rich quick"?
The Camping & Caravanning Club currently has 109 sites across the UK, including The Star site, less than a mile from Alton Towers - the UK's most visited theme park.
The Club has also recently taken over the management of 20 Forest Holidays Caravan & Camping Touring Sites for 2011. These sites are located in idyllic locations on Forestry Commission land across the UK and provide fantastic getaways for adults and children alike. Not only do they offer superb scenery and back to nature pitches, they also provide holiday options for the more adventurous camper. Many sites have a number of sports activities plus there's the option of exploring the forest with the Club's very own Forest Rangers.
The Club has also joined the "Pod generation", with revolutionary Camping Pods at its sites at Bellingham (Northumberland), Isle of Skye, Thetford Forest (Norfolk) and Eskdale (Lake District) together with nine Camping Dens at Gulliver's Milton Keynes.
Podders still enjoy the fun of staying on a communal campsite, but have the home comforts of electric power points, heating and outside barbecues. And at around £40 a night, it still won't break the bank.
Alternatively, the Club offers self-catering holidays on 13 of its Club Sites as well as Caravan Holiday Homes and Exclusive Lodges, which come fully furnished, at some stunning locations across the UK including new Lodges at Theobalds Park in Hertfordshire.
It's a bold claim, but the Camping and Caravanning Club now has the facts to prove they can help make you richer in mind, body and soul! They're not called the Friendly Club for nothing....
Membership costs less that £40 a year. Join online at www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk, or telephone 0845 130 7632.

BILOXI — Plans for a minor league baseball stadium and neighboring commercial development in downtown Biloxi are consistent with the city's 2009 Comprehensive Plan, according to a vote last night by the city's Planning Commission.
The Sun Herald reports the city council hasn't yet voted on whether to borrow $21 million in general obligation bonds to help finance construction of a stadium.
Whether the stadium should be built wasn't the issue of the meeting, said city attorney Michael Collins, just whether plans for the ballpark and other commercial development fit with the city's Comprehensive Plan for urban renewal.
He said the plan actually encourages the redevelopment of the 12-acre site north of the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino on U.S. 90 that is the proposed stadium site.
"An anchor for the downtown area is a goal," Collins said.
If the city council votes to build the ballpark there, Collins said the stadium will be in the middle of the site and possibly a hotel. The north end will be reserved for future commercial development that will enhance and benefit the rest of the property, he said.
Maps on display at the Community Development building showed the business corridor along Caillavet Street and the downtown. Collins said the plan for the stadium carves out a very small portion of that area all in one block.
Mayor A.J. Holloway said after the meeting that he believes Biloxi will get a baseball stadium.
Councilman Robert Deming III said he is still studying all the information.
"If any of us are hesitant," he said of the council members, "it's to see what the final terms are."
The intrinsic value of the park to the community isn't in question, he said. "Now we need to make sure it's not a financial detriment."
