Hey Guys,
I am receiving a very obtuse error message from Outlook, only affecting 1 user however.
When sending emails; that is when she clicks on Send, she receives in an warning message dialog box with the word Operation Failed in the body and there is only an okay button to press, the title for the box is Microsoft Office Outlook.
I have tried the obvious steps:
1. Re-create Email Profile with both Cached mode on and off.
2. Deleted Office 2007 and installed Office 2010
3. Updated to the latest version.
Looking into the error it states it may be a result if a user has gone over their mailbox quota, I have tried turning quota off, giving unlimited quota and also increasing quota size to an amount normally set on boxes and that has had no effect.
I have read also it can be caused by the html email signature which I have tried removing, even tried sending the email in plain text.
I've only been able to narrow it down to the fact it happens when she is replying to emails and she has a few emails open on the screen, every other program runs fine and running Outlook's Connection Status everything is fine.
The user is connecting to a local Exchange 2007 server.
Has anyone else been able to solve this annoying issue?

Have you tried looking at things like anti virus getting in the way?
Is this problem happening everytime the person sends an email ?
Is it to one email address only or everyone ?
Have you tried sending internally and externally ?
Have you considered trying the user on another machine as a test to see if it's just a machine issue, if so you could setup a new windows user profile just incase that's corrupt.

I've seen something like this before, but it only affected 1 message. And it was from someone overseas. It still happens occasionally. Turned out it was the message that was causing the problem.
Have you tried copying and pasting the contents of the message into a new message and see if she can send?
Or is it every message?

Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? I have the exact same issue with one of my users. I had her do a little trouble shooting since this was a brand new machine she received the error on. She created (replied) to a message on her new machine and received the error "Operaion Failed". I had her save that same message to her drafts and log in on her old machine, opened the existing draft message and it sent fine. This has happened to her on multiple messages and I cannot find any common factors to any of it, different recepients, different domains, with/without pictures/attachments, etc. but it is not every message nor every reply that fails (seems random). Also we are running Exchange 2010. The searches I have done refer to multiple accounts being the cause which is not the case here, only the one account exists here (the exchange). Another was to empty the auto complete which did not resolve it either.
Jan 4, 2012 at 11:02 UTC
I'm having the same problem. I've spent a while searching around trying to find a resolution. Anyone find one yet?
Jan 4, 2012 at 2:31 UTC
Have you tried the repair feature in outlook? Believe it or not it sometimes resolves these kinds of issues.
Jan 5, 2012 at 8:17 UTC
Hey Guys,
Repair Function within outlook doesn't help.
Resetting up user Profile doesn't help.
Changing connection options within setting it up do not help.
My investigation and what I have done:
I ended up giving the user a different computer which has helped, hasn't happened no where near as much as it used too.
I too find that when you have a play with the message, try deleting certain things from the email....eventually you will be able to send it sometimes when absolutely everything is removed - I thought it was then the html signature but that didn't turn out too helpful or some embedded object.
Sometimes deleting some of the recipients made it send.
Very random issue indeed, I am happy to know other people are experiencing it too, even on exchange 2010.
Tried Outlook 07, 10...
Jan 6, 2012 at 8:12 UTC
The 1 user that is having the problem here just keeps clicking send every few minutes until it sends. It seems more like something in the background sticks and then lets loose.

No posts in just under a year.
Did anyone eventually solve this one?
Two of our users working on the same terminal server is getting it. copy the contents into a new email and it works fine.
I copied the email address across and it worked, I'm wondering if its a corruption with their lk2 file. although Gavan created a new profile that would rule it out.
Nov 19, 2012 at 12:05 UTC
No Update on this from my end, I ended up giving the user a new machine.
Tried everything I can think of and never had any luck, lol
I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one, lol

I have removed all of the add ins and that doesn't help either.
Dec 17, 2012 at 11:07 UTC
Thanks to Gavan for the post as well. Please stop with the profile recreation and repair garbage. We all know how to do that, and if it makes it here, obviously that did not work.
My user is on a TS, everyone else is fine, except her. I can't get anything to send out, but she still receives fine.

According to Microsoft support KB http:/
- Permanent fix involves applying an update to exchange server (!!!) : "Update Rollup 5 version 2 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 ".
- Then the article continues with a workaround."
To work around the issue, follow these steps:
From the Drafts folder, open the draft version of the email message.
On the Ribbon, click the Format Text tab.
In the Format area, click Rich Text.
Save and then close the message.
Reopen the message, and then, on the Ribbon, click the Format Text tab.
In the Format area, click HTML, and then save the message.
Reopen and then send the message."
- Somebody called me today with this same issue and told me: "Workaround #1 worked for Rich Text format..but did not for HTML format..
- If issue is indeed caused by cached item, then Carol's solutions steps should work. I propose workaround #2:
Part1: Go to Outlook-> File menu-> options-> on the left, click on Mail tab -> go to 'Save messages' section-> change "Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes" from 3 to 20 minutes. This will allow more time to send new email without saving to draft folder..
Click OK to save changes. Exit and reopen Outlook
Part 2: open your email from the draft folder and copy all content. Created a new message and paste content (subject line, To, any CC) and send this new email within 20 minutes or less. Just send, do not save of course.
- My user could not test workaround #2, he is out of office. Let me know if it works for you. Happy Holidays!

Hi guys, I have been battling with the same issue. What I tried is deleting the contact that said operation failed when sending it. I added it again (be sure to check what the email address of the contact is before you delete it) and once I am done typing in the address, I hit check names. This recreates the contact and I could send right away. Hope this helps my fellow IT friends.
Kind regards,
May 7, 2013 at 11:22 UTC
I find that happens Johan173 if the user copies and pastes the email address; previously a hyperlink into the To field of outlook, it seems the background html or formatting of the link can break the Outlook Address Book / To Field, not all of the time but on occasions.
if you don't have a contact for the "broken" email, selecting it from the autocomplete list in Outlook and then pressing delete removes it too for anyone else!
I then instruct users to manually type the email address in, and all is good!

hi, I had the same issue of "The operation failed" when trying to send an e-mail to anyone out of my contact list. Running Outlook 2010 on a profile with both a MS Exchange account and a Google Business account.
Disabling the "mail tip options" (under file, options, mail, mailtips) did solve the issue for me.
But be aware that when you start Outlook again sometimes those Mailtips are activated again and the problem occurs again (??)

Hi I had the same issue , but solved it by removing some of the HP security tools...FYI

Bridges Integrity Services LLP is an IT service provider.
i am experiencing this issue on a 64-bit win 7 pro, the thing is, i have both 32bits of Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2003 installed on the PC. I needed to retain my Outlook 2003 because the client is using SBS-2003, and Outlook 2013 doesn't work with SBS-2003 (Exchange 2003).
The issue started after installing the following updates this morning:
1) KB2817474 - Security update
2) KB2825621 - Security update
3) KB2825947 - Junk email filter
I had no choice but to run system restore. It solved the problem. I personally think update 3 is not the main culprit, could be either 1 or 2. I will disable both updates for being run.
Sep 17, 2013 at 5:59 UTC
Bridges Integrity Services LLP is an IT service provider.
update.. the problem happened again!
the issue is related to Ms Office 2013 update that caused the Outlook 2003 to be corrupted.
went to control panel > add remove programes > look for Ms Outlook 2003, and run a repair.
after which, all is well.

I ran the repair function on office 2003 and this fixed the problem for me too. Thanks Jokejong. THe repair option threw up something about a visual foxpro database not being found, when I clicked ignore the repair finished and outlook worked again.

This worked for me- File>Options>Mail>Send Mail>Empty Auto Complete List
Though you would want to save your contacts before you attempt this.
Oct 25, 2013 at 4:48 UTC
Similar issue I found - but slightly different from above
Item saved in drafts but wouldn't send a few days later
Fix for me was find the inline images (signature images)
Delete the images from signatures and send again... worked no problem.
Issue for us was inline images and being saved in drafts for some reason... is a confirmed issue with 2010 Outlook and 2010 Sp1 Exchange

The Division is many things but at heart it's a solid third person action RPG.
That's something which developers Ubisoft seemed wary to admit in the months running up to release, bigging up the connected aspects and the competitive elements of the scary Dark Zone. But when you get right down to it, this is a game about a gal or a guy with a gun, a city to save and a whole mess of stats.
When an engineered virus strikes on Black Friday, bringing New York City close to ruin, sleeper agents of from an elite force called The Division are activated. Each player's world will be as unique as their face, with a central base that is the beating heart of what makes the game yours.
This isn't a shared universe – you won't see other players tooling around and every player sees their own basecamp. It's an interesting hook which makes the game straddle the divide between single and multiplayer, and one which could help draw in fans of both. The progression of your base is of utmost importance – giving you visual and story-based cues that you are making an impact and also unlocking significant upgrades for your character.
Speaking of the story, it's also important to note that The Division has one. This isn't a nebulous experience with the odd bit of text telling you were to go and shoot things next but an experience with fully voiced cut scenes and a handful of central characters who are actually halfway distinct.
The central narrative follows your quest to discover the source of the virus and save the city. The writing and performances are decent, even if the whole affair is a tad too serious, and you might even care about the outcome.
The Division has plenty more to offer plot fans, with numerous side missions that occasionally offer a surprising amount of depth. You'll get tasks from major characters which lead to basic but engaging investigations - there are shades of a similar mechanic in Assassin's Creed. And there's also a lot of lore to sift through, including a huge number of phone messages and video recordings, as well as the impressively wrought ECHO recordings which rebuild surveillance data to let you relive dramatic moments from recent history in startling holographic hues.
This texture and depth is far beyond what I was expecting from the game, and amounts to significant world-building when paired with the exceptional graphics. The relatively small map is dense with despairing detail – frozen bodies in the streets, memorials to lost loved ones and the flurry of snow which heralds a full scale white out.
These elements all make The Division incredibly fun to run around, and Ubisoft's penchant for icon-littered maps means there's lots to do. Side missions, random encounters, material drops, assaults, hostage rescues, supply runs and more will keep you constantly on the move, with far-flung safe houses just waiting to be unlocked so you can easily fast travel.
And what do you do when you reach one of these locations? Well shoot things in the face until there are no more faces, obviously. The Division is lacking in subtlety when it comes to its gameplay but thankfully it mostly makes up for it with rock solid fundamentals.
This is a cover shooter and you'll spend a lot of time crouched behind things hoping you don't catch some shrapnel with your teeth. Staying in the open is a good way to get dead and the cover mechanics are consistent and feel meaty – press the A button (on Xbox One) to hide or aim anywhere in the world and press to fling your body into cover.
It works really well, and you can easily sidle around cover to get a better angle on enemies with flanking key to survival. Popping up to shoot feels great, especially with the chunky audio for each and every bullet. And there are abilities too which add to the overall experience, with two available at any one time.
My current favourite is the portable turret which you can throw out to make things complicated for enemy ankles. Later upgrades to the tech section of your base unlock the ability to spew more bullets or even flames and it's the perfect way to distract enemies while you slip off to one side and draw a bead on their brainpan.
The enemies themselves come from three main factions and are split into very clearly defined types. After five or six hours, you'll have seen every possible combination of these including melee-sporting runners, grenadiers, flamethrowers, tanks and the odd named boss person.
With a fairly worrying lack of intelligence, the main thing which separates out these enemies is their health bars and that's one of the less successful elements of The Division. At the beginning of the game it's possible to empty an entire clip into someone's head before they go down. Now I'm not looking for realism in my video games but it starts to feel like you're using some kind of potato gun, especially as their fire has a serious effect on your health bar.
Higher level weapons make a difference but it's still wise to budget an automatic rifle clip for every chest you target, and that health bar just gets bigger as enemies rank up. This effect is multiplied when you team up with other real life players, making frantic firefights exercises in bullet management, training all your weapons on the same enemy and hoping they go down before their flesh to lead ratio reaches 1:1.
It's a little disappointing in a game which gets so much else right, and helps to add to the feeling of repetition which sinks in well before the 10 hour mark. Head to a mission, fire all the bullets, find another dot on the map and rinse/repeat. It doesn't help that tertiary challenges are endlessly recycled and can feel like a chore as you struggle to reach the level requirement for the main story.
Personally I preferred playing a lot of The Division solo as it made me feel like I was single-handedly pushing back against the vile virus. And to its credit the game works like that, adding up to a 30 hour or so story-led RPG.
That said, some things are better with friends and the challenging main missions definitely recommend you take along some allies. Flashing an enemy with four simultaneous grenades or sentries is a specific kind of joy and knowing that someone has your back for a revive, which is also possible with a handy throwable item, makes those titanic battles a little less stressful. There's still plenty of challenge though, especially if you decide to take on a mission above your recommended level.
Matchmaking was pretty flawless and there are plenty of players online. The community seems pretty relaxed so far which is always a bonus. The other main multiplayer aspect of The Division lies in the Dark Zone and this is going to be an area which divides gamers.
Ubisoft has brought its own slant on PvP here, with an area filled with high level AI and other real-world players. The idea is to work together to nip in and find the best loot and weapons before forming up for an extraction but trying to escape draws both human and computer controlled enemies in, giving them a chance to backstab and steal your stuff.
It's a nice idea and one which has its moments – particularly the tension as you wait for an exfiltration chopper – but it's also only halfway fun. Players are increasingly uninterested in going rogue, mostly preferring to play it safe. There's also limited incentive to get involved with this Zone earlier in the game because it has its own levelling and commerce systems. Maybe Ubisoft will bring in new rules or shake up how the system works to encourage rogue players but right now the Dark Zone feels far from essential.
The Division has a huge amount going on with the main gameplay areas as well as stat balancing, crafting, weapon modding and active and passive abilities unlocked via the base. And this is before the months of free and paid DLC which will add new modes, extra areas and hopefully more story content.
As a partly online title it's still early days and yet the game is remarkably stable and, above all, fun to play. The overall structure suffers from repetition in the later stages but the moment to moment gameplay is thoroughly engaging and the combination of a map full of missions, clean mechanics and constantly evolving abilities makes for a distinctly moreish experience.
Out now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Landrieu Pushes to Fund Increased Performance Pay for Teachers
Say current compensation systems "shortchange our children"
As President Barack Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan unveil guidelines today for states to apply for Race to the Top education funding, a group of ten senators including Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., urged leaders of the Senate Appropriations Committee to fully fund President Barack Obama's $487.3 million request for pay-for-performance teacher incentives in the Fiscal Year 2010 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill.
In a letter organized by Sen. Landrieu, seven Democratic moderates and three Republicans said full funding for the Teacher Incentive Fund is "a critical component of the overall strategy to transform our future teacher workforce, improve teacher quality and raise student achievement." "Most professions recognize and reward better performance with better pay," the senators wrote. "However, teacher compensation is based almost exclusively on degree attainment and years of service and does not take student achievement into account. It is long past time that we reformed this antiquated system. It is unfair to teachers who set high expectations, engage their students and raise achievement. It represents a breach of faith with taxpayers who expect their tax dollars to be spent efficiently and effectively. Most importantly, it shortchanges our children by reducing the likelihood that they will have a high-quality teacher in their classroom."
The Teacher Incentive Fund supports performance-based compensation incentives for outstanding teachers and principals in high-need schools. The program is aimed at increasing the number of highly qualified teachers working with poor, minority, or disadvantaged students in hard-to-staff subjects. It funds local compensation systems that improve student academic achievement and that encourage educators to assume additional responsibilities and leadership roles.
Lead signatories on the letter were Senators Landrieu, Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Evan Bayh (D-IN). Other signers included Senators Richard Burr (R-NC), Joe Lieberman (ID-CT), John Thune (R-SD), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Mark Warner (D-VA), Bill Nelson (D-FL), and Michael Bennet (D-CO).
Last month, Sen. Landrieu and nine of her moderate Democratic colleagues sent a letter to the White House supporting the president's call for education reform, endorsing pay-for-performance teacher incentives, the expansion of effective public charter schools, extended student learning time and investments in state-of-the-art data systems for school systems to track student performance. The text of today's performance pay letter is below.
July 24, 2009
The Honorable Daniel Inouye, Chairman
The Honorable Thad Cochran, Vice-Chairman
The Honorable Tom Harkin, Chairman
Senate Appropriations Committee
The Capitol S-128
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Chairmen and Vice-Chairman:
As you consider the Fiscal Year 2010 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill, we respectfully urge you to include $487.3 million for the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF), the level recommended by President Obama. We believe TIF is a critical component of the overall strategy to transform our future teacher workforce, improve teacher quality and raise student achievement throughout the country. The research confirms what our intuition tells us: nothing has a greater impact on outcomes in the classroom than the quality of our teachers. We must do more to recruit, prepare and reward outstanding teachersand a step that will help us in all three areas means overhauling the way we compensate them.
Why should we be concerned about student achievement? The United States currently ranks 25th in the world in math among industrialized nations. Had the United States closed the gap in education achievement with better-performing nations like Finland, Iceland, and Poland, our GDP could have been up to $2.3 trillion higher last year, according to a recent study. TIF's focus on differential pay to attract teachers in subjects with chronic shortages, like math and science, is particularly important in light of the increasingly competitive nature of the global economy. By 2016, four out of every 10 new American jobs will require at least some advanced education or training.
We cannot reverse these disturbing trends in achievement without a dramatic overhaul of the teaching profession. Most professions recognize and reward better performance with better pay. However, teacher compensation is based almost exclusively on degree attainment and years of service, and does not take student achievement into account. It is long past time that we reformed this antiquated system. It is unfair to teachers who set high expectations, engage their students and raise achievement. It represents a breach of faith with taxpayers who expect their tax dollars to be spent efficiently and effectively. Most importantly, it shortchanges our children by reducing the likelihood that they will have a high-quality teacher in their classroom.
The effort to reform teacher compensation is still in its infancy. As you know, TIF was created in 2005 to encourage states and districts to develop innovative teacher compensation systems that improve student achievement by increasing teacher and principal effectiveness. The primary goals of the program are to increase the number of effective teachers teaching poor, minority, and disadvantaged students in hard-to-staff subjects. TIF should be an important part of the strategy to improve equity in the distribution of effective teachers. Without a concerted effort to ensure that low-income students in high poverty schools have equal access to the strongest teachers, we will never close the achievement gap.
While we have seen promising models in a number of districtsDenver and Chicago for examplethere have been nearly 150 applications for TIF grants but only 34 awards, and the vast majority of school districts still operate under the old system. Increasing resources for TIF will help kick-start new performance pay initiatives and help policymakers and administrators identify best practices so they can be replicated across the country. While teacher compensation reforms are carried out primarily at the state and local level, TIF is the federal government's most direct way of incentivizing reform.
This kind of collaboration requires a willingness to move beyond the status quo, for all to work together in good faith and for the adults involved to never lose sight of that fact that our first and most important goal is to improve educational outcomes for our children. It is important to acknowledge that these compensation systems work best when teachers and principals are involved in their development and implementation.
We are aware of the challenges you face in light of the many important priorities before your committee. We note, however, that the success of most education programs is ultimately dependent on teacher quality. Important initiatives like those to reduce dropouts, prepare students for college and improve school safety, for instance, cannot succeed without effective teachers and other school-based professionals to carry them out. For this reason, and others, we request that the Senate agree to a level of no less than $487.3 million for TIF in FY2010.

Client Testimonial
"Having recently worked with Jolene McDonough it is with great pleasure to recommend her as a top notch staffing agent and to assist with your employment development. Jolene and I crossed paths at a point in my business where I was rapidly growing and had some significant staffing issues. I had been fostering a bad situation simply because I was too busy to deal with looking for the right talent for my business. Jolene came in and met with each of my staff and assessed the situation and whether they were the right fit for the positions they were in and the right personalities for me in general. I already new the answer, but having a neutral third party come in to my business was the best thing that could have happened at that point in time. Jolene diligently worked with me to first define the roles that I needed to have to grow my business, then we set out to fine tune the job descriptions. Jolene took the burden of looking for the right talent, screening resume's and possible candidates off of me and for that I am truly grateful. I was guilty of several bad hires and knew that I needed help with this. Jolene was well worth the investment in my business and thanks to her I now have two very capable and high functioning team members. I would absolutely recommend her and I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future."

* UltraMAX Mega B Complex
Do you need energy or are you under stress?
Caruso's new ULTRAMAX Mega B Complex, with time release technology for 8 hours of continual release is now available!
Vitamins are quickly used by your body when you're under stress or exerting energy. So the hustle and bustle of everyday life can deplete you of these essential nutrients, leaving you tired, stressed and run down.
Strong, broad spectrum B-Vitamin complex
Each member of the B-Vitamin family has a unique structure and performs a special role. This is why Caruso's Natural Health has developed a strong, broad spectrum B-Vitamin complex formula, called Caruso's UltraMAX Mega B Complex. It's ideal for anyone who may need extra B Vitamins. Caruso's UltraMAX Mega B Complex may assist with: energy production; stress levels; fatigue; healthy functioning of the nervous and immune systems; cellular and blood health; hair, skin and nails; your general health and wellbeing.
Caruso's UltraMAX Mega B Complex contains a range of B Vitamins including Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12 and Biotin.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Vitamin B1 is involved in energy production and may support a healthy nervous system. It may assist with stress and fatigue. Vitamin B1 may provide support for a healthy immune system.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Vitamin B2 may assist in the production of cellular energy and is involved in the healthy growth of your hair, skin and nails.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin B3 is a co-enzyme involved in the catabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates for energy. It may assist with circulation.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
Vitamin B5 is central to many bodily processes. It may assist in the generation of energy.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Vitamin B6 is extremely important in the functioning of your nervous system. It is especially involved in the functioning and release of energy. It supports your immune system, possesses antioxidant properties and supports your general health and wellbeing.
Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid)
Vitamin B9 or Folic Acid helps support the normal development of healthy cells and cell maturation. It is a blood tonic.
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 aids in the normal function and replication of cells. It is important for energy production. And like Folic Acid, it is a blood tonic and can assist in maintaining normal, healthy blood.
Biotin acts as a co-enzyme in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and protein. Biotin is at the therapeutic dose for supporting healthy hair, skin and nails. Caruso's UltraMAX Mega B Complex also contains Inositol and Choline.
Get the most out of your B-Vitamins over 8 hours with special time release tablet
At the one time, your body can only absorb a certain amount some B-Vitamins. This is why we have used time release technology to dispense the B-Vitamins into your body. With Caruso's UltraMAX Mega B Complex, a dose of B-Vitamins is continually released over 8 hours, so you gain a constant supply of these B-Vitamins throughout the day.
Caruso's UltraMAX Mega B Complex also has a special slippery slide coating, which makes its tablets easier to swallow.

How I Got Started, with Rob and Zoe Benzinger
What is it? We manufacture botanical skin care products including Shave With Benefits, with an all-natural foam that makes the razor perform better and last longer.
When was it founded? 2010
Who helped? [Zoe and I] have gotten help from SCORE counselors and also from Jeff Mitchell, our small-business attorney.
How was it financed? Friends and family. It cost $150,000 to get started.
Where did the idea come from? The idea came from my own need. It was born of necessity. I used to cut myself whenever I shaved, I got redness and irritation from the shaving foam and I had ingrown hairs covering my neck. It goes back to the late 1990s, I was in my late 40s when the ingrown hair issue became much worse than it ever had been. That's what pushed me over.
How was your formula developed? I developed it myself, through study and through trial and error. I am a tinkerer, an inventor, a chef. I studied some chemistry in school but I learned about organic skin care products when I was a flight attendant with World Airways. The air in the cabin was horribly dry and a lot of the flight attendants had come from Northern California, where people are very aware of using all natural solutions to moisten their skin. So the basic ingredients came from that knowledge, and then blending them together first became a hobby, and then a passion, and later an obsession.
What's in it? The main ingredient is witch hazel, which is what the American Indians used to heal their skin. My grandmother turned me onto that when I was a little kid.
What have you learned? I started out thinking it would be just a men's shaving solution. But I've learned that women love it as well. That came from my wife stepping out of the shower and asking me: Why didn't you tell me how good this shaving cream is? I hadn't known she was using it.
Annual revenue? $80,000 in 2012
Is it profitable? Not yet.
Challenges? Our biggest challenge is in getting nationwide distribution. We have been in discussion with two different distributors, but we haven't come together on the price. Some distributors want 50 percent some want 30 percent, and they want us to spend our own marketing dollars out of our share. So we are trying to work out a deal to get the product placed in the right environment.
Growth plans? We are now in a dozen retail stores locally. The long-range picture is to get national distribution and also improve our visibility online. We want to bring more business to our website, since that's where the margins are the highest.

Sometimes boring is good -- like when it comes to Saltine crackers, algebra and this week's Mystery Car on Drive On's Forum. We hope there are so many look-a-like sedans out there that this one will be a tough one to identify. Want to rob a bank? The old joke was that a tan Pontiac Sunfire or old Plymouth Reliant made the best getaway cars because no one would ever be able to describe them.
What about this one? Can you tell us the year, make and model? DON'T ANSWER HERE. Rather, go to Drive On's Forum by clicking here, the only place we look for the answer to the Mystery Car. We'll tell who got it right first here on Drive On on Tuesday.
Hey, the 100th Mystery Car is coming up. What should it be? Let me know your suggestions directly, at firstname.lastname@example.com

The present invention relates to a distributed electric power demand control system and, more particularly, to a system which comprises a plurality of processors in which each processor is responsible for shedding the electrical loads controlled by it and in which the processors communicate with one another so that the shedding of electrical loads can be coordinated between the plurality of processors.
Electric power companies have established various rates they charge for the consumption of power by their customers. For example, power companies may charge more during those hours of the day in which there is normally heavy usage of power than they do during off-peak hours, and may also levy a surcharge against individual non-residential users based on the user's highest demand during an entire billing period (typically each month). Demand is the average power (e.g., watts) over a demand interval, typically 15 minutes long. As a result, load add/shed systems have been devised in order to maintain demand below user established limits to thus avoid extra costs attributed to excessive electric power demand.
Heretofore, these add/shed systems have been concentrated in a single facility such that if the facility becomes nonfunctional, the add/shed system becomes nonfunctional and electric power demand may rise above a previously established demand limit.
The present invention is fault tolerant such that the load add/shed function can be maintained even though there is a malfunction in the system. Thus, the present invention involves a plurality of processors connected together by a common communication channel wherein each processor is responsible for adding and/or shedding its own loads. Each time it adds and/or sheds a load, that processor communicates the KW value for that load to the other processors so that each processor on the communication channel can recompute the total amount of load which must be added and/or shed in order to maintain power demand below an established limit value. In this manner, a failure of any one of the processors does not terminate the load add/shed function but, instead, allows the other processors to carry on the function to thus maintain power demand below the limit value.
These and other features and advantages will become more apparent from a detailed consideration of the invention when taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows a multiprocessor system for adding and/or shedding loads in a distributed electric power demand control system (in this example, five processors are shown);
FIG. 2 shows the processors of FIG. 1 in more detail;
FIG. 3 shows the way in which the processors and loads may be arranged in priority order so that the system does not attempt to add and/or shed more than one load at a time;
FIG. 4 shows the timing of communications between the processors of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 shows the operations performed by each of the processors which is connected to the electric meter (i.e., a meter processor);
FIG. 6 shows the operations performed by each of the processors which controls one or more loads which may be shed and added by the demand control feature (i.e., a shed/add processor);
FIG. 7 shows the details of the operations performed by each of the shed/add processors to calculate the electrical demand for the current sample period;
FIG. 8 shows the details of the operations performed by each of the shed/add processors in updating its data to reflect the actions of all other operational shed/add processors;
FIG. 9 shows the details of the operations performed by each of the shed/add processors in shedding an electrical load;
FIG. 10 shows the details of the operations performed by each of the shed/add processors in adding (restoring to operation) an electrical load which it had previously shed;
FIG. 11 shows the details of the operations performed by each of the shed/add processors in maintaining data for the determination of the need for manual intervention to avoid exceeding the pre-programmed electrical demand limit target value; and,
FIG. 12 shows the details of the operations performed by each of the shed/add processors to determine whether manual intervention is required to avoid exceeding the pre-programmed electrical demand limit target value, and to send an appropriate advisory alarm to the human operator.
In FIG. 1, a plurality of processors 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 etc. are connected to common communication channel or bus 16. Each processor, as shown in FIG. 2, comprises the usual memory 17, processing section 18, clock 19, interprocessor communications transceiver 20 and input/output interface 21.
According to the present invention, memory 17 has a demand limit value 22 stored therein which is representative of a limit below which the system maintains an established power demand by adding and/or shedding loads. The demand limit value itself may be established manually or automatically at the beginning of each billing period, then either locked in place or allowed to float upwards or downwards in accordance with any of numerous user selected demand limit strategies; or it may be some value lower than the established demand limit to provide a margin of safety to insure that the limit is not exceeded.
Processing section 18 calculates the current actual demand and then, based upon the demand limit stored in memory 17, calculates the total amount of load which can be added (ADDTOT) or shed (SHEDTOT), and subsequently recalculates this amount as loads are added or shed by this or other processors through system operation. Section 18 also determines when and whether or not one of the loads connected to it can be added or shed. Memory 17 contains the identity and KW size of the loads associated with it.
Interprocessor transceiver 20 is connected to communication channel 16 so that each processor can transmit and receive information relative to the current total power demand and the add/shed routines of all active processors.
Input/output interface section 21 interfaces the processing system as shown in FIG. 2 with the loads as shown in FIG. 1.
Each processor will have a number of load positions Ll-LM associated with it. Also, processors 11 and 12 (in this example) have an electric demand meter 30 connected through the respective input/output interface circuit 21 so that the energy (KWH) consumption per sample period can be measured and then transmitted to processors 11 and 12 to be broadcast to all of the processors in the system. The sample period has a length such that the ratio of the demand interval to the sample period is a whole number (typically 3 minute periods in a 15 minute interval). Meter 30 can be connected to any of the processors which participate in the add/shed function, or can be connected to other processors in the system, or to a combination thereof.
The add/shed routine resides in each of the processors having sheddable loads. Each processor has a sequence number (designated as P1-P5 as shown in FIG. 3) assigned to it, for example at the time of installation. Each processor may have one or more loads assigned to be added/shed by the add/shed function.
The first load assigned to each processor is termed a first tier load, the second load assigned to each processor is termed a second tier load and, finally, the Mth load for each processor is termed the tier M load. Thus, the processors and loads are arranged in priority order such that the tier 1 load of processor 1 is shed first, the tier 1 load of processor 2 is shed next and so on until the tier M load of processor PN is shed. Adding loads back is then done in reverse order. Tier 1 loads, since they are the first to be shed, are likely to be the least significant in terms of the criteria used to establish the priority sequence. For example, the load may be in a non-essential area of the building in which the system is located or the load itself may not be considered as important as other loads.
If a load which would otherwise have been assigned as a tier 1 load because it is last in a top down priority sequence for a given processor is more important than other first tier loads in the system, a dummy load is set up for that processor and assigned a 0 KW value. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the least important load connected to processor 4 is considered too important for being either a tier 1 load or a tier 2 load and is, therefore, arranged as a tier 3 load. Thus, dummy loads are established as tier 1 and 2 loads for processor 4, each of which is assigned a 0 KW value and would appear as loads to the rest of the system even though they have a 0 KW value. Also, processor 3 has a first load assigned to it which is least important and is assigned as a tier 1 load. However, all of the other loads are considered too important to connect them as a tier 2 load and, therefore, the next load in processor 3 is connected as a tier 3 load. A dummy load is, therefore, set up for processor 3 as a tier 2 load and assigned a 0 KW value. The number of tier positions for each processor will be equal to or greater than the number of tiers found in the processor having the largest number of sheddable loads.
Loads may also be dynamically reordered in each processor at the beginning of each sample period in accordance with a "comfort fairness" procedure under which loads are sequenced for adding or shedding according to each load's deviation from its "comfort index".
Strategies that determine how stringently loads must be shed can be made in a number of ways. For example, a strategy may be employed that at each sample period the system will return demand to an "ideal rate line" by the end of the subsequent sample period. Alternatively, an adaptive algorithm can be employed for predicting during the early sample periods of an interval the probable demand over the entire interval. This predicted demand is then compared against a demand limit for determining the amount of load which must be shed to prevent demand over the entire interval from exceeding the established demand limit. These same sorts of routines can be used for determining when loads should be added. Other demand strategies can also be used.
Assuming that a determination is made as to how much load should be shed and assuming that no loads were theretofore shed, and that all processors are currently operational, the first load eligible to be shed is the tier 1 load in processor 1, the second load eligible to be shed is the tier 1 load in processor 2 and so on until all tier 1 loads are considered for shed. The next load eligible to be shed is the tier 2 load in processor 1 followed by the tier 2 load in processor 2 and so on until all tier 2 loads are considered for shed. Eventually, all of the loads in all of the tiers for all of the processors may have to be considered for shed.
Adding of loads is also sequential but in reverse order starting with the tier M load in the last processor and then working back to the tier 1 load in processor 1. A time t separates each load shed or added. The value of the time t is only as large as need be to accommodate timing errors, queue times, calculation times, bus traffic and so on (typically a value less than one second).
Meter 30 is directly connected to two or more processors. Each such meter processor broadcasts the value of KWH/sample period which it has calculated, by either hardware or software means, over the bus. Any of the meter processors may also be, but need not be, a shed/add processor. (Although a processor may provide both meter reading and add/shed services, the algorithm for each service is disjoint from the algorithm of the other, and each may be considered separately.) If a meter processor detects that its calculated value of KWH/sample period is outside of reasonable limits, then it may broadcast a warning to that effect over the bus, instead of broadcasting its calculated value. (As shown below and in FIG. 7, each shed/add processor independently checks the reasonability of each meter reading, so an error message from a meter processor is optional.)
In all cases, each meter processor is connected to the KWH contact of the meter. If the meter is equipped with a synchronization (sync) pulse contact, then each meter processor is also connected to that contact. For clarity of exposition, this description assumes that meter 30 provides a sync pulse contact to signal the start of each electrical demand interval. In cases where the electrical demand meter does not provide a sync pulse contact, then each meter processor maintains its own interval timer, in synchronization with the interval timers of all other processors, using any of the techniques which are available for distributed processing systems for distributed clock control. Each meter processor is responsible for broadcasting a beginning-of-interval message, however derived, over the bus. Regardless of the presence or absence on the meter of a sync contact, each meter processor administers an internal interval timer which produces an output at the end of each sample period; all such sample-period timers are maintained in synchronization.
FIG. 4 shows the timing relation between the operations of the various processors in the system. A complete bus cycle, of duration T, is composed of two subintervals, a meter-broadcast interval Tm and a shed/add interval Ts. Each meter processor has a time slot for broadcasting over the bus during Tm and each shed/add processor has a time slot for broadcasting over the bus during Ts. Tm and/or Ts may also contain one or more time slots during which processors which do not have any demand-control functions also access the bus. Any meter processor which also has a sheddable load assigned to it has allocated to it both a time slot within Tm for its meter function and a time slot within Ts for its shed/add function. The details of the interprocessor communications protocal (e.g., whether each time slot's duration t is fixed or variable, or whether multiple messages may be sent per time slot) are transparent to the demand-control application.
Bus cycle time T is typically on the order of a second, much shorter than a demand interval (typically 15 minutes) or a sample period (typically 3 minutes). Interval Tm is used for demand control only during the first complete bus cycle of each sample period. At this time, each meter processor broadcasts either its calculated value of KWH/sample period, if that value is within reasonability limits, or (optionally) reports an error if that value falls beyond those limits (see FIG. 5). When the beginning of the sample period coincides with the beginning of a demand interval, then the message also contains an indication that a new demand interval has begun. At all other times, the sole operation of the meter processors is keeping in synchronization with each other and with all other processors.
FIG. 6 highlights the functions of each shed/add processor at various intervals within the bus cycle. During Tm of the first bus cycle following the beginning of a sample period, each shed/add processor obtains all broadcast values of KWH/sample period. Each processor maintains an internal interval timer for the sample period so that it can determine if such broadcasts are overdue (e.g., if the meter processors have all failed). Following Tm of this bus cycle, each shed/add processor uses all information which is available to it to calculate a value for the demand rate during the new sample period. (In FIG. 6 and below, it is assumed that this calculation is completed by the start of the immediately-following Ts. This specific timing relationship is not required (e.g., the first Ts of the sample period may be reserved for performing the calculation)). During Ts, each shed/add processor attempts to add or shed a load, as appropriate, during its own time slot; it will also, if appropriate, broadcast an alarm if manual intervention appears necessary to avoid a demand-limit violation. During all other processors' time slots within Ts, each shed/add processor keeps its calculated shed/add targets (shed total and add total) current per the update messages available on the bus; it also resets its manual-shed-alarm register if the automatic algorithm appears to be working.
FIG. 7 provides a detailed example of how, in a system which is equipped with two meter processors, a shed/add processor can calculate demand. (Other routines are possible--for example, a system with three meter processors could use voting to identify the failed meter processor.) Here, meter processor 1's reading is always used if it was received when expected and was within reasonability limits. If meter processor 1's reading fails either of these tests, then meter processor 2's reading will be used if it passes its corresponding two tests. If neither meter processor's reading passes both tests, then the shed/add processor will use the default value for the meter reading. (This default is typically the value used at the last sample period increased by the maximum reasonable increment per sample period.) Each shed/add processor must stay synchronized with the system to be able to detect the non-receipt of messages from the meter processors. Once the shed/add processor determines the measured or inferred value of the meter for use during the current sample period, it then forecasts the electrical demand. Any predictive algorithm (e.g., the fixed-interval predictive algorithm) may be used.
FIG. 8 shows the operation used by each shed/add processor during Ts, but outside of its own time slot, to update its add/shed targets for the current sample period. If a shed message is received, then this processor decrements its shed total by the announced value of the shed. If an add message is received, then this processor decrements its add total by the announced value of the add. If the optional end-of-add message is received (see below and FIG. 10) then this processor suspends add operations for the balance of the current sample period.
FIG. 9 shows the logic of a shed/add processor, during its own time slot within Ts, when a shed is indicated. If the processor, based upon its calculated demand at Tm (at the beginning of this sample period) and the cumulative sum of this sample period's shed messages, determines that it should attempt to shed a load, then it executes this logic. It first examines its shed/add table (FIG. 3) to determine if the currently appropriate load is eligible to be shed. To be eligible, the load must satisfy two criteria: (1) it was turned on (added) by an application with priority less than or equal to demand control's priority, and (2) its minimum on-time requirement, if any, must have been met. If a load is eligible for shedding, then the processor sheds the load, announces the amount of the shed to the bus, and decrements its calculated shed total. If the shed total is now non-positive, the shed/add processor may also announce the completion of this sample period's shed to the bus. (This output message is an optional feature. Such a message may be desired if one or more processors in the system is assigned to capture the message and to reformat it for a human operator.) If the shed/add processor has no eligible load, then it annunciates a null (zero-valued) shed.
FIG. 10 shows the logic of a shed/add processor, during its own time slot in Ts, when an add is indicated. If the processor, based upon its calculated demand at Tm (at the beginning of this sample period) and upon the cumulative sum of the add messages for this period, determines that it should attempt to add a load, then it executes this logic. It first examines its shed/add table (FIG. 3) to determine if the currently appropriate load is eligible to be added. To be eligible, the load must satisfy three criteria: (1) it was turned off (shed) by the demand program, (2) its minimum off-time requirement, if any, must have been met, and (3) its load size (KW) must be less than the current ADDTOT. If a load is eligible to be added, then the processor adds it, announces the amount of the addition to the bus, and decrements its calculated add total. If, on the other hand, the processor does not have a load which is eligible to be added, then it annunciates a null addition. If the candidate load was not eligible because it was larger than the maximum possible addition, then the shed/add processor may optionally send an end-of-add message to all other shed/add processors. Such a message would cause the other processors to suspend add operations, so that this load could be added in its proper order at a succeeding time to add load.
FIG. 11 shows the logic of a shed/add processor, during Ts but outside of its own time slot, to administer a test for possible transmission of a request for manual intervention (a manual shed alarm). (The manual shed alarm is an optional feature which is useful when the system includes one or more processors at which alarms may be given to the human operator, and from which the human operator may manually shed one or more loads.) The processor tests whether an alarm is appropriate. Specifically, this alarm is suppressed if any of the following conditions is true: the current calculated shed total is non-positive; a manual shed alarm was received from another processor during this time slot; the current shed process has not yet passed the last tier load. If any of these conditions is true, then the processor sets the value of its manual-shed-alarm register to the current system time.
FIG. 12 shows the logic of a shed/add processor, during its own time slot within Ts, in administering its manual-shed-alarm register and (possibly) in transmitting a manual shed alarm. If the current calculated value of the shed total is non-positive, or if the shed process has not yet reached the last tier load, then the processor will set its manual-shed-alarm register to the current system time, thereby giving the demand control additional time to function. If neither of these conditions is satisfied, then the processor compares the current content of the manual-shed-alarm register to the current system time. If the difference between the current and saved times exceeds a time limit (typically, a maximum length bus cycle), then the processor sends a manual-shed-alarm message and resets the manual-shed-alarm register to the current system time. This algorithm therefore guarantees that the automated demand-control strategy is allowed to run to completion in an attempt to avoid a demand limit violation before annunciating a request for manual intervention; it allows any processor to identify and annunciate the alarm once the automated action fails to bring the demand forecast beneath the target value.
