Post-"30 Rock" Tina Fey Is Learning How To Dress Herself
"For seven years I would literally pull something off the floor because it was 6 o'clock in the morning, go to work, put on my wardrobe until the end of the day, put on what were basically pajamas and then go home. I don't actually know what I like to wear in real life. It's going to be a period of terribly awkward experimentation. Like middle school all over again. Perhaps I'm a person who wears a blouse with an ascot? Dark green nails? I think it's going to be a series of caftans."
– Tina Fey could totally make caftans a thing. Maybe she'll bring back the fanny pack? I believe in her. [Time] [Photo: Paola Kudacki for TIME Style & Design]

HOUSTON - The Semifinals, a mere hour-long showcase of the top 4 contestants on The Voice, didn't provide the most spectacular of vocal performances, but there sure were a lot of FEELINGS. So many families. So many tears. Just so many feelings.
Trevin Hunte started off the night with, I kid you not, "Wind Beneath My Wings." I mean. Come on. Cee Lo has got to be running out of cheesy, over-the-top power ballads for Trevin to sing, right? And unlike last week, where Trevin could absolutely do no wrong, it felt like Trevin was really struggling throughout this entire song. He whiffed a few of those big notes at the end, and quite frankly sounded like he was just wailing whatever note came out, regardless of whether or not it made sense in the context of the song. This was just not his best performance, end of story. I think he's great, and I'm willing to believe in Trevin based solely on last week's epicness, but this was disappointing. And it was almost even more disappointing to notice that not a single coach called him out on his being under pitch! Come on, coaches. Keep. It. Real.17734830
Speaking of feelings, I had many different emotions during Nicholas David's performance. While I was watching the package, I felt like St. Nick would make the weirdest dad ever. But then when he was staring at his wife and wriggly child singing "You Are So Beautiful," I realized that even dudes with weird facial hair and the occasional strange turban need love, and his performance was chock full of it. Nicholas gave this performance absolutely everything he had, and his passion could potentially push him into the Finals. He sounded top-notch, he looked the least homeless we have seen him this entire season, and I'll be damned if the man doesn't have some beautiful eyes behind all those layers of protective eyewear. Hey nah, St. Nick. Hey to the Nah.17734838
Team Blake came together and sang "White Christmas." I give it a resounding "d'awwww!"
Now little Cassadee Pope started to win me over a few weeks ago but gosh darn it if she didn't seal the deal tonight. Oh my god. I'm talking like Blake Shelton. Can't dwell, must move on. I think Blake just really knows Cassadee's voice and picked a super random but incredibly awesome song for her tonight in Keith Urban's "Stupid Boy." And Cassadee has become so consistent that you know she's going to deliver those epic notes each and every time, flawlessly. Now it's one thing to talk like Blake Shelton, but I get really scared when I start to think like Xtina, and she and I were most def on the same wavelength during Cassadee's performance. Homegirl sounded straight up auto-tuned! She was just perfect. I think what all of this indicates is that I, Dena Propis, should be a coach on The Voice. And as far as Cassadee goes, she firmed up her place in the Finals with this performance.17734848
Finishing out the Semifinals was Terry McDermott singing "Let It Be." Now maybe it's the accent, but I find Terry to be the most loveable and endearing of all the contestants, including Muffin Teddy Bear Eternal, Trevin Hunte. He's just so freaking EARNEST. And it was during this performance that I realized I think I am firmly ensconced in Camp Blake—with either Cassadee or Terry—for the big win. I just love Terry's voice, and aside from one, maaaaybe two hiccups along the way, Terry has delivered time after time after time. He's been in the biz long enough to know his voice, his limits, how to work a stage, and how to rock a killer leather jacket without looking like a giant tool. No, Terry can't riff like Trevin, or have the soul of Nicholas, or the hair extensions of Cassadee (although by the looks of his dye job he might be trying), but dude sure can sing.17734854
Dena's predictions: Trevin Hunte is going home, leaving Cassadee Pope, Terry McDermott, and Nicholas David in the Finals. I think Trevin might be just a hair too similar to last year's winner, Jermaine Paul, and the other three contestants bring something new and awesome to the table.
Only one more round of performances left! Be sure to check back with the KPRC Prime Blog for the epic end of Season 3 of The Voice.
Thanks for reading, and as always, thanks for watching KPRC Local 2!

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 33 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Petowner Good installation method for my situation This was a great solution for covering my existing floor. I like the way it looks overall. Some seams look better (more realistic like grout) than others. Have had trouble with it sticking in a few spots but once I left some weights on it for a few days seems ok now. Seems to be easy to care for so far. Is great at not showing every pet hair. December 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sittodo11 Very pleased with this flooring! Remodeled our kitchen and wanted easy to maintain, not show dirt, doesn't scuff, and fairly neutral colors. This met all requirements. Looks like ceramic flooring without the expense and maintainane. A wet mop cleans it well. Love it! November 25, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Woodbridge Expensive mistake. I've installed a lot of flooring over the years and this is by far the worst performing flooring I have installed. The tile itself is pretty easy to install and looks Ok when new. We were sold on the product for our kitchen when the salesman stated that the epoxy grout that you are required to use with this product doesn't need to be sealed and won't stain like regular grout. Now that we've had it installed for 3 months we are very unsatisfied with the floor. 1. The durability of the tile is extremely poor. It scratches and damages very easily and the scratches show. Maybe a darker tile wouldn't show scratches as bad. 2. The grout is a magnet for dirt and is very hard to clean. Tried the once and done cleaner and it didn't do much for the floor or the grout. It would probably perform better with a sealer to smooth out the texture and reduce the dirt caught in the grout. 3. The tile is very hard to clean. It takes a lot of elbow grease and hard scrubbing to make the tiles come clean. The texture on the tile surface seems to be the problem. Once and done cleaner didn't do much good on the tile either. 4. It is a comfortable floor to walk on barefoot and would probably do OK in a low traffic room such as a bathroom where the traffic on the floor tends to be bare feet or socks. Bottom line is I'll be ripping the floor out after only a couple of months use because the grout looks horrible the tile is already scratched up and all of it is very hard to clean. It doesn't work with a busy family. November 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by KevinD Looks like a new house Professionally installed this tile over our existing ceramic tile floor. They used leveling compound that filled all cracks missing grout. New floor looks beautiful and no more crackling sound when walking on floor due to cracked tiles! This floor makes it look like a new house. We also installed new cherry color cabinets and the floor brings everything together. Darker then our original floor so took a bit to get use to it now it really looks warm and cozy.Tile is durable and feels warm to the feet. Had a few scuff marks when moving refrigerator over to put in place but the Once and Done took it right out. I would recommend Armstrong Luxury Tile to anyone. Great product November 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by suss Alterna After years of hunting for ceramic flooring, we found Alterna. We grouted it and it looks like ceramic but is warmer and softer. We love it. September 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nick Looks fantastic Ripping out old outdated ceramic tile and replacing it with this product transformed the look of the house. The entrance hallway, half bath,and dinning area look fantastic and really make a great first impression to guests entering the house. The house looks more modern and the floor is much more comfortable underfoot than the ceramic tile. I suggest anyone looking at flooring to consider this line of tile September 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susie34 Alterna D4159 Clay I had three or four samples at home from which to choose. When I returned them to my dealer, I spotted Alterna D4159 Clay on display. I had not noticed it before, and when I did see it, I knew that this was THE one! I love it, even got up in the night to turn the kitchen lights on to admire it. The installer had no problems with it, and the grouting gives it an expensive look. I'm glad now that my dishwasher leaked, making it necessary to have a new floor covering. Otherwise, I would never have had this beautiful new floor. August 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bilmar76 This product exceeded my expectation The color and the finish is exceptional. As a bathroom floor, it is warm and comfortable with very good traction. Tiles cut easily and restoring edge bevel of the cut edge was easy and excellent with medium grade Emory paper. The adhesive sets the tile very firmly. Grout set beautifully and cleaned effortlessly. This project was fun and fabulously satisfactory. August 17, 2015
Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 33 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Dianne39 A very costly mistake! We had this floor installed two years ago. It is impossible to clean the textured surface. The grout that Armstrong requires to be used with this product is unsealed and is nothing but a dirt magnet. I have tried every cleaning product on the market and still, it always looks dirty. Furthermore, the vinyl surface is very thin and gouges easily. We had our kitchen remodelled and when a friend saw it and said, "Now you just need a new floor", I knew what a mistake we had made in buying Alterna tile. We are now in the process of removing it which is a nightmare. It is a very labor intensive job and difficult to lift. We have Mannington's Adura tile in our laundry room and two bathrooms and it is a much more durable product. August 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by VGRoberts Best floor for the worst environment We installed the Alterna Durango in a second room last month. The first room 3 years ago. It has stood up to 5 children, 2 dogs, and 2 cats without any signs of wear and tear. I recommend it over laminate, carpet, and stone tile! July 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dolly48 Perfection in a floor We put this floor in our kitchen and it is simply beautiful. So easy to maintain and love how it makes our kitchen look so much cleaner. When we moved in with my mom I knew we had to change the floor and I wanted something that would look great no matter what is dropped on it and I am wowed by this floor and my mom loves the look too. This luxury vinyl tile is warmer and softer on your feet than ceramic tile and I have been telling everyone about this floor. I loved this floor so much I put Alterna LaPlata Caramel in the bathroom with the above same results. I love to talk about our remodeling and now bragging about this beautiful floor. THANKS ARMSTRONG for creating this product. July 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Evie This product is outstanding We are so happy that we went with this floor. We had this installed throughout our kitchen, back hallway and connecting half bathroom. It was laid in a pinwheel pattern using both the 8" and 16" tiles and using grout between the tiles. I wasn't sure when we first decided if this was the right decision, but after it was installed I can't get over the beauty of this floor. It looks and feel like a stone floor! Our guests cannot believe that this is a vinyl product. It is such a breeze to keep clean and really brightens our kitchen. I cannot say enough about this beautiful flooring! June 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MisterK REST AT EASE: I was Skeptical, now a believer I invested 10,000 dollars to do the entire house in LVT. (Durango Deep gold). I was VERY concerned about it, as we had no experience with these floors. You might say I was obsessive about the entire process. I was nervous about it, because of the investment, and going "All in" on this. LOOKS: The tile is beautiful, and yes, it look so much like stone, everybody is shocked, and has to touch it to believe it. I can't say enough about the appearance. Whatever tile you pick, is going to be great. Construction: The tile is very thick, maybe over a quarter inch or so. Prior to grouting, I can see the thickness. The tile is very rigid, yet has a little give, very little - so I could see that it was going to be very durable. We walked on it , very soon after initial installation, before it was grouted. Installation Professional Installation took about a week all told, but my house needed under-layment of plywood (luan board) which made all the difference in the world, for a solid base, and a uniform "level". Yes, this added about 3500 to the cost, but it was well worth it. The tile is not so bad, but all the other work, including removing doors, and edges around door frames would make this a back breaker for the entire house. Wear Cleaning, and Durability The tile looks fantastic in the entire house, and is more durable than I had read about on the 5 million web pages I read. (Did I mention I was skeptical??) What I was looking for is someone to ease my mind in the reviews. The problem with reviews is that negative examples tend to dominate, and gives you no real advantage. I was more concerned AFTER reading hundreds of reviews (not less). I can tell you that you cant go wrong here, whatever tile you pick is going to look fabulous. As for installation, I might do a single room or 2, but if you are getting a whole house done, best leave that to professionals. 1 CAUTION Don't install this over standard sub-flooring "Flaked Plywood", you need underlayment, or a very smooth plywood surface. You might get away with it, but its a risk. Its also expressly prohibited in the instructions. You will certainly have better results with a good under-layment. Cleaning Clean with Apple cider vinegar and water only, with a sponge mop. Simply mix one cup of cider vinegar with a gallon of hot water and use a damp mop to clean, rinsing the mop frequently with hot water. Substitute white vinegar for cider vinegar if you want to disinfect as you clean. SUMMARY Go ahead and buy the tile, I think its the best thing I ever did , and I am not worried about it anymore. Worse case scenario, if anything happens to a particular tile, you can easily replace it, (You should always buy some extra). Pop the old one out, and stick the new one in place. (You cant do that with hard wood floors! April 13, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Sue1959 Unsatisfactory Durability I just had this Armstrong Durango-Buff tile installed in November 2014. This floor was far from inexpensive. For the price I expected the quality as well! It looks absolutely beautiful!! But I am soooo disappointed abouth the durability!! I dropped a plate on the floor, it dented the tile and the top layer of laminate peeled right off leaving a one inch long chip into the next layer.....this is the second hole so far since installation. There is a quarter inch long hole in the tile next to it as well that I found when I was cleaning about a month ago. I am not sure how that one got there but I do know there should not be any chips at all!!. I have a residential application and have had new kitchen floors before....the inexpensive self stick floor tiles from Home Depot are more durable then these Armstrong Durango tiles......if I had to worry about occasionally dropping things on the floor I certainly made the wrong choice! The Armstrong kitchen tiles my dad installed 30 years ago in the home I grew up in still look pretty darn good with no chips or dings! Armstrong, what happened? March 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen Just what I searched for. I searched for weeks getting samples from different locations and going online and finally found Durango Clay was the best match for my countertops. We had it installed on an angle with grout and are so pleased with the results. Beautiful! October 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosa It looks gorgeous in my bathroom, make it looks bigger and brighter. I didn't install it myself, I called some company that has a big commercial (Empire). That is my mistake. should go to Home Depot instead, it will be more than $300.00 cheaper. In other word, I got fooled. June 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aquarius Woman Great Product Just had this floor installed in my kitchen and hallway. Looks great with my white cabinets, expresso color molding and also my granite countertop. Everything just comes together. The floor is easy to walk on and easy to clean. I am definitely going to install this floor in my bathroom. March 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Disappointed Not worth the money 1) Difficult to clean. Dirt embeds into rough surface. Spray and mop doesn't work...need to mop hard and even get on hands and knees to clean 2) Scratches/Marks easily...dropping a spoon cause an indentation. Scratches from I don't what. Thank goodness our children are older and we have no pets. Installed one year and already need to replace 10 tiles! August 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by PiaOnomato Beautiful and Durable After choosing a floating vinyl floor that looked horrible installed, I had to choose another floor STAT! The Alterna was my dream floor so we expanded the budget and bought it. It is a beautiful, light floor that will stand up to kids and dogs. We chose the recommended gypsum grout which is very light. We had the floor professionally installed and we love it! April 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Randy Beautiful and "warm"! I'm going to keep this short, as I have just had it installed and I cannot comment on durability or how it looks after a year, but it's been in a week and WOW! This product is absolutely beautiful and gets comments constantly, with nobody believing that it's an Armstrong Luxury Vinyl. Not only is it aesthetically striking, but it is softer than ceramic and it is warmer. When I read the comments about the product online at various forums everyone noted that it is "softer) and warmer, but frankly I didn't believe it and was going to be happy with it for it's beauty and reported durability, but sure enough this floor gets comments about what a nice "feel" it has, softer than tile or stone, and my wife who walks barefoot in the house sometimes noted that it was indeed "warm" as compared to stone or ceramic tiles. Loving it! May 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by plantlover porous surface I love the look of my new floor, installed very nicely by the dealer. My only concern that I didn't notice when purchasing was it is very poruous, not smooth. very hard to keep clean. I actually have to get on the floor and clean it with a rag and soft brush to get in the pores. Is this normal for this floor? It's a shame because it is a beautiful floor. I am 63 and cannot imagine cleaning like this for another 20 years. May 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wendy000 Looks beautiful! We chose Alterna, Durango, Bleached Sand. It took 2 days to install. The installer had to take up the old carpet, remove the baseboards and toilet, as well as remove the closet and bedroom doors. Then he had to put a layer of wood (looked like plywood) down, I think to make it level with the bedroom carpet. He had to put something in the cracks of the wood and it smelled so bad, I did not sleep in the bedroom that night. He finished the next day. I have to say, it looks beautiful!. Really brightened up our master bath. It has a nice look and texture to it. It's easy to clean with just plain water. It isn't cold to bare feet. The grout apparently doesn't chip or stain. We are so happy with it! I would recommend it to everyone! March 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by w120jmk A great product for the "Do it your Self-fer" My husband and I purchased this product and color because we wanted something that would be durable and wear well in our home. We also wanted the look of a ceramic tile without the hassle of installing ceramic tile. This product ,met all of our expectations. March 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Diane 64 tile great-installation varies I installed this tile in two rooms. In my daughter's room I put down the 1/4" recommended plywood first. The tile went on easily and adhered in the indicated length of time. In my bathroom I followed the instruction for stripping the surfacing on my existing flat tile. It took forever to dry, and the tile did not adhere as well for about two weeks! The grouting did not go on as well either. When I do the other bathroom and service porch I will definitely rip out the existing tile and lay down the plywood underlayment first. I love the appearance of the tile and it cleans easily. We have dogs and I have not had issues with scratches or dings. I put it in this summer (2012) so I can't really comment on reliability yet. October 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CL53 This product will please everyone! We have the rich look! We have the luxurious feel! We have the durability! We have the easy care! We have Armstrong Alterna Durango vinyl flooring! No one believes that it is vinyl until they actually walk across our new kitchen floor. Our floor that is quiet, and soft on the feet and so easy to keep clean. We love it and are so excited that Consumer Reports agrees with us! August 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by rcm322 Very happy with our Alterna floor! We had Alterna flooring installed just over a year ago, in Durango Cream with Driftwood Grout. It's in our kitchen, entry hall from garage, and powder room - so very high traffic areas. We've been very pleased with how it looks, how durable it is, and how easy it is to keep clean. It looks so much nicer than our old sheet vinyl floor - people think it's ceramic tile, but then they realize how soft and comfortable it is underfoot, and not cold like tile. We definitely recommend this product! July 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by KenL Installed 3 months ago, very happy so far I had this floor installed when a previous, old (38 years) and worn asbestos vinyl tile floor was destroyed by a flood. Insurance paid for an average quality replacement floor, but I wanted a high quality floor and was willing to pay extra for it. I researched all types of floors and settled on this floor. It was professionally installed, which I recommend since the floor prep involved grinding the underlying concrete slab to make it absolutely smooth. I chose to not use "grout". The floor looks very good. Almost all visitors ask about it since it looks like ceramic tile. Following installation I had furniture moved back on it and was somewhat afraid of possibly scratching the vinyl, but this has not occurred even with sliding furniture on it. It cleans very easily. I cannot comment on its long-term durability since I have had it only three months but I am expecting a long life for it. June 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Donna1 New installation, so far so good. Nice quality product, natural look of stone. Went with groutless installation, seemed like less maintenance issues. June 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hopmom7 Beautiful flooring This floor is beautiful in my bathroom and laundry room and easy to clean and great for the area. May 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Peg1 Very sophisticated appearance. I am so pleased with the Amstrong Alterna Durango Clay floor. With the grouted lines and the textures in the tile it has the sophisticated appearance of a stone floor. December 3, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by success story You'll be so happy with the results I installed this product in my kitchen, hallway, and half bath about a year ago. It still looks great. An individual tile, held in your hand, looks pretty "blah", but on the floor it looks terrific---like limestone, and grouted, it looks even better. I have never attempted something like this before, and my husband was afraid it would be a disaster. But following Armstrong's installation instructions made it less intimidating. (The hardest part is deciding where the starting point should be.) There is no issue with tiles lifting. The floor is easy to clean (I vacuum regularly, and use Armstong's cleaner). If a 64 year old woman can do this, so can you, and you'll be so happy with the results! October 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by jack of trades Luxury vinyl is worthy! After completing many floor installations of various types, this floor is superb. My previous knowledge and experience with installs helped complete the job fairly easily. The floor is maintaing the 'new' look to this day. The 'feel' of this floor is comfortable and the texture is soothing. Spilled water is not slippery. I did not believe the claim by Armstrong that this flooring is actually 'warm' during the winter. I believe that claim now! I prefer barefeet on this floor! In summary, a great product and worth every penny! September 15, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Steve Hard to clean - Don't buy!! The product looks good when new but the texture of the tile means that it holds the dirt and the only way to clean it is to get on your knees with a scrub brush and scrub away. Avoid any tile with the surface texture of this one September 8, 2011

John J. Powers, Jr.
President (1965 – 1971)
Chief Executive Officer (1965 – 1972)
Chairman of the Board (1968 – 1972)
Jack Powers and his father served Pfizer for a total of 75 years, beginning in 1909 when John Powers, Sr. became head of sales and marketing. A graduate of Georgetown University and Yale Law School, Jack Powers was hired by the Company in 1941 as its newly formed, one-man Legal Department. The outbreak of war created endless legal matters, government regulations, and innumerable new forms and procedures. For the first time in history, the Company needed in-house legal guidance. Powers played a vital part in steering the Company through the maze of government regulations and in the purchase of real estate as the Brooklyn plant expanded into mass production of antibiotics.
In 1945, Powers was named assistant to President John Smith and soon thereafter, as senior vice president, he turned his attention to international trade and the organization of Pfizer's overseas activities. Under the strategy of "plan globally, engage locally," he directed the establishment of offices in Puerto Rico, Panama, Mexico, and Brazil, which were followed by operations in Canada, England, Belgium, and Japan. The Company's development into a major multinational business is reflected in the fact that international sales had grown to $223 million by the end of 1964, almost 50 percent of Pfizer's total sales.
In recognition of his achievements, Powers was elected president of Pfizer in 1965 and Chairman in 1968. Under his leadership, Pfizer was among the first pharmaceutical companies to institute a multidisciplinary team approach in research and development. Vibramycin® (doxycycline monohydrate, doxycycline hydrochloride hemiethanolate hemihydrate, doxycycline calcium), Navane® (thiothixene capsules), Sinequan® (doxepin HCl), and other important pharmaceutical discoveries of the 1960s and 1970s were a direct result of this innovation. In 1972, the year Powers retired as chairman, the Company achieved the milestone of $1 billion in sales. He continued as a director and honorary chairman until 1983.
In 1996, two years after his death, a newly formed United States Pharmaceutical field force — Powers Rx — was named after him to recognize his numerous achievements, including overseeing the transformation of Pfizer from a domestic Company into a global enterprise.

A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring the electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage of the circuit; digital voltmeters give a numerical display of voltage by use of an analog to digital converter.
Voltmeters are made in a wide range of styles. Instruments permanently mounted in a panel are used to monitor generators or other fixed apparatus. Portable instruments, usually equipped to also measure current and resistance in the form of a multimeter, are standard test instruments used in electrical and electronics work. Any measurement that can be converted to a voltage can be displayed on a meter that is suitably calibrated; for example, pressure, temperature, flow or level in a chemical process plant.
General purpose analog voltmeters may have an accuracy of a few per cent of full scale, and are used with voltages from a fraction of a volt to several thousand volts. Digital meters can be made with high accuracy, typically better than 1%. Specially calibrated test instruments have higher accuracies, with laboratory instruments capable of measuring to accuracies of a few parts per million. Meters using amplifiers can measure tiny voltages of microvolts or less.
Part of the problem of making an accurate voltmeter is that of calibration to check its accuracy. In laboratories, the Weston Cell is used as a standard voltage for precision work. Precision voltage references are available based on electronic circuits.
Analog voltmeterEdit
A moving coil galvanometer can be used as a voltmeter by inserting a resistor in series with the instrument. It employs a small coil of fine wire suspended in a strong magnetic field. When an electrical current is applied, the galvanometer's indicator rotates and compresses a small spring. The angular rotation is proportional to the current through the coil. For use as a voltmeter, a series resistance is added so that the angular rotation becomes proportional to the applied voltage.
One of the design objectives of the instrument is to disturb the circuit as little as possible and so the instrument should draw a minimum of current to operate. This is achieved by using a sensitive ammeter or microammeter in series with a high resistance.
The sensitivity of such a meter can be expressed as "ohms per volt", the number of ohms resistance in the meter circuit divided by the full scale measured value. For example a meter with a sensitivity of 1000 ohms per volt would draw 1 milliampere at full scale voltage; if the full scale was 200 volts, the resistance at the instrument's terminals would be 200,000 ohms and at full scale the meter would draw 1 milliampere from the circuit under test. For multi-range instruments, the input resistance varies as the instrument is switched to different ranges.
Moving-coil instruments with a permanent-magnet field respond only to direct current. Measurement of AC voltage requires a rectifier in the circuit so that the coil deflects in only one direction. Moving-coil instruments are also made with the zero position in the middle of the scale instead of at one end; these are useful if the voltage reverses its polarity.
Voltmeters operating on the electrostatic principle use the mutual repulsion between two charged plates to deflect a pointer attached to a spring. Meters of this type draw negligible current but are sensitive to voltages over about 100 volts and work with either alternating or direct current.
Vacuum Tube Voltmeter (VTVM) Edit
The sensitivity and input resistance of a voltmeter can be increased if the current required to deflect the meter pointer is supplied by an amplifier instead of the circuit under test. A once-popular form of voltmeter of this type was the vacuum tube voltmeter, frequently referred to as a VTVM. Today these instruments use a solid-state amplifier using field-effect transistors. The electronic amplifier between input and meter gives two benefits; a rugged moving coil instrument can be used, since its sensitivity need not be high, and the input resistance can be made high, reducing the current drawn from the circuit under test. Amplified voltmeters often have an input resistance of 1, 10, or 20 megohms which is independent of the range selected.
Digital voltmeters (DVM) Edit
The first digital voltmeter was invented and produced by Andrew Kay of Non-Linear Systems (and later founder of Kaypro) in 1954.
Digital voltmeters usually employ an electronic circuit that acts as an integrator, linearly ramping output voltage when input voltage is constant (this can be easily realized with an opamp). The dual-slope integrator method applies a known reference voltage to the integrator for a fixed time to ramp the integrator's output voltage up, then the unknown voltage is applied to ramp it back down, and the time to ramp output voltage down to zero is recorded (realized in an ADC implementation). The unknown voltage being measured is the product of the voltage reference and the ramp-up time divided by the ramp-down time. The voltage reference must remain constant during the ramp-up time, which may be difficult due to supply voltage and temperature variations. Part of the problem of making an accurate voltmeter is that of calibration to check its accuracy. In laboratories, the Weston Cell is used as a standard voltage for precision work. Precision voltage references are available based on electronic circuits.
Digital voltmeters necessarily have input amplifiers, and, like vacuum tube voltmeters, generally have a constant input resistance of 10 megohms regardless of set measurement range.
Potentiometer Edit
One may also measure voltage using a potentiometer in the null-balance method. The potentiometer's resistance is changed at the wiper until the null detector shows zero voltage between the two circuits.
- is the voltage across test points
- is the known voltage
- is the potentiometer resistance from one end terminal to the other end terminal
- is the potentiometer resistance from wiper to end terminal
There are many implementations for null detectors, including moving-coil galvanometers, nanovolt-sensitive integrated circuits, and simple audio circuits that click to indicate voltage difference. The null detector need only be sensitive to small voltage differences but does not need to be linear or accurate. The voltage divider can be made with high uniformity and accuracy, with calculable sources of error. While the method was originally used with manually-adjusted potentiometers, automatic and recording analog instruments are commonly made with the same principle of operation.
Oscilloscope Edit
The oscilloscope method of measuring voltage employs the deflection of the ray in a cathode ray tube (CRT). The ray is actually a beam of electrons travelling in the vacuum inside the tube. The deflection of the beam is either caused by the magnetic field of a coil mounted outside the tube or by the electrostatic deflection caused by the voltage on plates inside the tube. By comparing the deflection caused by an unknown voltage with that caused by a known reference voltage the unknown voltage can easily be deduced. Such measurements can be done for signals too high in frequency for measurement by an analog or digital multimeter.
Voltmeter Schematic Symbol Edit
The voltmeter symbol (V) is shown in the diagram.

I have a site that I am working on that has very large images.what is the best way to preaload them?ThxD
Make sure to optimize them first, in something like Photoshop > Save for Web. You shouldn't be offering up large images files on the web. They can have large dimensions without being large files. For example, the image could be 2000px x 2000px and yet be saved at a small file size (like 30–100kb) and still display nicely in a browser. If you are serving up images of more than 100–200kb, you are on the wrong track. So deal with this first before worrying about preloading.
Hello there.I already did the photoshop>saveforweb.the main sunrise pic is2000x1333 px
Doc size27.778x18.514@72px/in
when I go to save for web & devices, picked teh png-24 option, default is bicubic. size 100%...is there anything else I could change to improve on this?thxD
The resulting file size is the important thing—but you left that detail out.
The main thing I'd change in those settings is the 100% ... assuming you are talking about "quality". Usually you can set it to 50–60% and not lose much qulaity, yet massively reduce the file size. Indeed, if you make the image huge (like, say, 2000px wide) but then squeeze it into a smaller on-screen area like 1000px width, you get sharp, retina quality display, even if you save the image at around 20% quality and at a very small file size.
Thank you for the advice will go try it out. the end size should be big, the same? so it should be a large background. Did I misunderstand that?
The only time (usually) that it can help to preload an image is one that is shown on hover and there is a delay. In which case you can simply put the image at the bottom with display none. If the browser doesn't preload with display none css just position it off screen or other.
The dimensions (width/height) are not the issue. The issue is file size ( in terms of kb etc.)
In addition: you can have a look at the article Image saving with gif, png, jpg: which is the best format?
Once you have the images in the smallest size (in kB), the question "why preload?" is arising. Is it for hover-images, for a javascript-driven image carrousel, etc.? Maybe a "postload" technique can be used, so that the page itself is appearing as fast as possible.
Thank you all. will follow up on all the suggestions. As it is the large images are for the backgrounds.
In ADDITION to OPTIMIZING your images, you should also consider your image deployment strategy.

How good and brave a soldier was lost to the army when General McPherson fell will be appreciated by the following paragraph from General Grant's recommendation of him for promotion in the regular army:
"He has been with me in every battle since the commencement of the rebellion, except Belmont—at Forts Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, and the siege of Corinth. As staff officer and engineer, his services were conspicuous and highly meritorious. At the second battle of Corinth his skill as an officer was displayed in successfully carrying reinforcements to the besieged garrison when the enemy was between him and the point to be reached.
"During the advance through Central Mississippi, General McPherson commanded one wing of the army with all the ability possible to show; he having the lead in the advance and the rear in retiring. In the campaign and siege of Vicksburg General McPherson and his command took unfading laurels. He is one of the ablest engineers and skillful generals. I would respectfully but urgently recommend his promotion to the position of brigadier-general in the regular army."
General Logan was placed temporarily in command of the Army of the Tennessee, General Howard being ordered to fill the vacancy caused by McPherson's death. This appointment caused General Hooker to ask to be relieved from his command. "If," said General Hooker, "Logan had been retained as commander of the Army of the Tennessee, I should have been satisfied and glad, for Logan is a good soldier. If a commander was to be chosen from another command, I should have had some preference from rank as well as service." General Hooker did not feel that he could respect himself if he continued to serve in an army where his services were not recognized. He asked to be ordered East.
It is difficult to appreciate the warm feeling of respect that was felt by the Twentieth Corps for General Hooker, his parting from the command of which was extremely affecting. No one regretted the necessity more than General Hooker. The battle of Peach Tree Creek was the last fight in which the Twentieth Corps was commanded by "fighting Joe Hooker," who had made them a second to none in the army. General A. S. Williams, the senior division commander of the corps, took command until the arrival of General Slocum, just previous to the fall of Atlanta. In a conference with the different commanders General Sherman remarked, "Gentlemen, I will move this army to the southwest of Atlanta, and it must fall." His first movement of troops to effect this was the ordering of the Army of the Tennessee to the extreme right of the line, their late position being held by a line of cavalry vedettes. The movement to the right seemed to meet a similar movement on the part of the enemy, who, on the 28th instant of July, attacked the Fifteenth Corps, then the extreme right of our line. The troops were but just going into position when the rebels

BAGHDAD (AP) -- Officials say attacks across Iraq have killed 38 people and wounded more than 160 in a spate of violence that was dreaded in the days before Baghdad hosts the Arab world's top leaders.
The attacks struck at security forces and Shiite pilgrims -- two favorite targets for Sunni insurgents who officials believe are trying to thwart next week's Arab League summit.
The death toll continued to rise Tuesday as officials reported three more attacks on police and government officials in western Anbar province.
A midmorning car bomb exploded as the head of Baghdad's provincial council drove by. He escaped but it killed police and passers-by.
Officials who confirmed the casualties spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

I just bought the powerplayer for prediction, and the powerplayer pick 3/4. Confused on how to use it.
Sorry havent used it but wanted to bump this up in case it gets pushed too far hoping someone can help you.
Good Luck and Welcome to LP!
Jack of all Games, Master of None!
I have it and haven't used it either. Very confusing. No manual, just silent videos on youtube that explain nothing. There are 80 filters! There is no explanation how the 10 prediction filters work.
ya man, so many filters just wish i knew how to apply them properly.
Was a guaranteed refund offered? If so, sounds like it's time to ask for it. Good luck.
* you don't need to buy more tickets, just buy a winning ticket *
Ouch !! That's almost $200 bucks. Good luck with your quest.
I have owned PowerPlayer for 2-3 years and IMHO it's one of the best on the market and it's very easy to use: go to the top left and select the lottery you want to play. Then select drawings to update. If you want to look at stats just click statistics.
Below there are 3 lower sections: the left has the selection buttons. It has standard wheels and postition (slot) wheels. Click the wheel you want to play. Then select the numbers you wish to play.
Then go to the type of wheel and select 5-5 5-4 3-3 ect. Then go to the bottom and click generate tickets. The lines will pop up on the right 1/3 of screen.
OOps too many lines. No Problem... go to the middle third of screen and at the top and find the menu button. Open and as you can see the are many options, but for starters just click select all button and the 30 games back. Later you can experiment with selecting fewer games back to tighten the filters.
You are now ready to reduce lines by clicking Start FILTERING. A couple pop ups will appear just answer to get reduced lines. If there are too many lines you can do one of several things. You can delete by looking at the trash can on the right panel and starting over.
I saved the best for last....I usally select 30 games back to open the filters and then I will look and choose a few filters maybe 5-6 to tighten.
Now look very close at the filter (middle) screen at the ODD COUNT FILTER and look at the setting 1-4, now move the mouse about a 1/4 inch and click the blank space. Now you can see 3 small dots, just click that and a pop up will appear and you will again see the preset filter.....now click ASSISTANT. A new world will appear showing a draft for that filter and the %'s are shown on the left side. After selecting what you want click OK and then manually readjust the filter. Then click OK.
I hope this helps getting you started....In a couple weeks you will laught at yourself....its so simple.
Get'er done.
OUCH$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>$200 buck'$$$$$$!!!
This was an ole program that was picked off after internet ABANDOMENT>>reworked>expanded>>>>>>!!!
THEN MARKETED 4 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ yes>YES>YES>was FREE>FREE>>>>>REPACKAGED4$$$!!!!
please>>this is a PSYKO "opinion" (did like ole free PROGRAM)!!!!
WHO RD market company sell'$$$$$$$$$ "U" software/x/?/??????????!!!!
D OLE FREE PROGRAM never came "CLOSE" 2 making MONEY<<<<<<!!!
if U make ANY money after UR $200>>>>let us KNOW>>
Thanks! will give it a try. I understand the basic filters but trying to figure out the others is a joke.
The only special thing with that program is that it can load drawings from internet.
Filters are a joke. If you can use Excel, you can put thousand filters if you want to.
I have all 3 Programs there are no help files. BUT the program dose work great. the cash3 program hit 3 days in a row and miss last night 033 in georgia. The other progam i love is the Predictor it will give you 4 winning numbers in the fill of 9 number. It work just as well on Mega Million and Power Ball. And the Program also has some of the best wheels you can fine. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BREAK THE BANK to play. I will share what i know if you like.
Powerplayer has hit again on cash3 01/30/2013 it had 028 it played 802
From a programmer's point of view, I couldn't honestly spend money on that software. The simple reason is because the website looks like a fly-by-night operation. Granted, my own lotto site looks like crap but then, I'm not trying to sell anything. I'm really not trying to be negative. I've been doing internet/intranet sites for well over a decade. If someone has developed a system that works well enough to sell, why not spend the money on a website that looks good? Between that and a buyer coming here asking how to use it [because the documentation isn't good enough]...
Still, as with any system, I'd be interested in seeing what the win stats are for the program. i.e. How many wins occur over any given week, back testing for about a year. If anyone would care to do a little back testing and share the results, it would be appreciated. I'm trying to comsume any and all knowledge on Pick 3 systems (without, of course, breaking my own wallet).
Site looks suspiciously like the LOTTO007 website.
Have they released the LOTTO007 software under a different name?
Manual i don't have the time to a back test but i will share as i go forwared i am only paper playing right now. I would like buy the rights to this lottery program. I think it is a money maker for years to come. I have all 3 programs they are working just fine for me.

PHILADELPHIA- For the first time since the 2004-05 campaign, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team was picked to place among the top three in the Ivy League and received a first-place vote in the Ivy Preseason Media Poll released on Thursday. The preseason poll features a select panel of 17 Ivy media representatives.
Penn earned 98 points in the poll - 22 more than last year. Princeton, the four-time defending Ivy League champion, was picked to finish first with 13 of the 17 first-place votes and 130 points. The Tigers were followed by Harvard, which received three of the other four first-place votes and 120 points.
However, for the first time since 2009, the first-place votes were not divided between just those two schools. The final first place vote went to the Quakers. The Red and Blue wereahead of Yale's 91 points, as well as Dartmouth (55), Cornell (52), Brown (45) and Columbia (21).
Under fifth-year head coach Mike McLaughlin, the Quakers return nine letterwinners after a third-place finish a season ago and bring in five new members in the Class of 2017.Penn also returns all five starters from the 2012-13 squad that earned the program's first-ever postseason victory and reached the semifinals of the Women's Basketball Invitational.
Penn's 18 wins last season tied for second-most in program history and the team's nine non-league wins matched the school record set in 1999-00. Penn's 18-13 overall record marked the first winning season since 2004-05 and the team's best record since the 2000-01 team set the school standard with 22 wins.
Just three years ago, Penn was picked to finish last, but has improved its win total each season under fifth-year head coachMike McLaughlin. Last year, the Quakers were selected to finish fourth in the preseason poll.
The Quakers will begin their 2013-14 campaign on Saturday, Nov. 9 against St. Francis Brooklyn at The Palestra. Tip off is at 2 p.m. The schedule is also highlighted by a pair of ACC opponents with Notre Dame visiting the Cathedral of College Basketball on Nov. 23 and the Quakers heading to Miami on Jan. 1. Ivy League play begins Jan. 11 against Princeton.

Much has been made in the US of Heart magazine's new "ShopBazaar," a web site linked to their high-fashion flagship title that allows you to effectively shop most of the pages of the book on-line. While such editorial-commercial links are not exactly new, however, what I hadn't realised, because they've been keeping rather mum about it, is that is only ONE of Hearst's "experiments" in the space – or so explained Duncan Edwards, President of Hearst International, when we were talking earlier this week. The company had a few different such "trials" going on around the world. Trials? Read more

Hi folks,
For those of you doing covered cooking with a charcoal grill, do you open or close both vents when doing indirect cooking? Or just the top or the bottom? Or does it even make a difference which vents you use? ? I know that closing the vents lowers the temperature, but any tips on mastering the use of vents is much appreciated. (And if it helps, I use a Weber 22.5 inch)
BTW, for any novice grillers reading this: try making Beer Can Chicken. I made it last month (Here in Seattle we're lucky if we can start grilling in March) and it was fantastic. It looks great, tastes great, and makes you look like you actually know what you are doing.

I have made some mouseover elements on this site, but some of them seem glitchy when you mouseover them. I thought it was a cache problem, but not sure anymore. Does anyone have any ideas?
Also, I noticed it doesn't work in IE or Safari.Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You have W3C validation errors in your html. Perhaps fix those first.
Also, some people don't click posted links, so you might improve your chances of getting help if you post your html and javascript and/or css.
I fixed the errors and put the site here:www.chrisdrogaris.com/hexagram/12/
Now it just doesn't work in IE, for example if you mouseover the facebook icon it will make a sound.There is an IE error in the javascript (bold below):
Any ideas?
var Kinetic_2d = function(canvasId){ this.canvas = document.getElementById(canvasId); this.context = this.canvas.getContext("2d"); this.drawStage = undefined; this.listening = false;
I can send someone 10$ in paypal if they can find the problem pm me I guess if anything or post here
You might want to ask for the thread to be moved to the Javascript forum.
And done.
I updated the link to http://www.chrisdrogaris.com/hexagram/15/
I the only thing left is the flickring, when you mouse over a image. I preloaded the images and it still flickers.
Ok I think I fixed it for the most part. Just letting people know so they don't try to fix it. Thanks!

Architectural History
The Smithsonian American Art Museum's main building, a dazzling showcase for American art and portraiture, is a National Historic Landmark and is considered one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the United States. Several important early American architects were involved in the original design of the building, including Robert Mills (1781-1855) and Thomas U. Walter (1804-1887). Begun in 1836 and completed in 1868, it is one of the oldest public buildings constructed in early Washington. The Smithsonian American Art Museum's branch for craft and decorative arts, the Renwick Gallery, is steps from the White House in the heart of historic federal Washington. Its Second Empire-style building, also a National Historic Landmark, was designed by architect James Renwick Jr. in 1859 and completed in 1874.
Renovation of a Glorious Landmark Building
The Smithsonian American Art Museum shares its historic main building with the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. The museums are the centerpiece of a revitalized downtown Washington, D.C. with a shared main entrance at 8th and F Streets, on the south side of the building. In the 1990s, the Smithsonian embarked on a plan to restore the building, and to create innovative new public facilities through a public-private partnership. The recent renovation (2000-2006) revealed the full magnificence of the building's exceptional architectural features, such as the porticos modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, a curving double staircase, colonnades, vaulted galleries, large windows, and skylights as long as a city block. Full circulation on all three floors for the public has been restored. Extraordinary effort was made to use new preservation technologies to restore the historic fabric of the building and re-use historic materials. Check out the renovation of our grand building in this slide show feature!
A 19th-century Landmark with 21st-century Enhancements
Two innovative and bold new public spaces are open to museum visitors: the Lunder Conservation Center and the Luce Foundation Center for American Art. In addition, the Nan Tucker McEvoy Auditorium and the Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard are major enhancements that make this a destination museum for the 21st century.

No teacher layoffs to be made at Eureka City Schools for next school year
EUREKA- Officials with Eureka City Schools say no teachers will be get layoff notices for the coming school year. California education code mandates school districts must give a preliminary notice by March 15th to any teachers they plan to lay off for next school year.
Superintendent Fred Van Vleck confirms that at Thursday night's Eureka City Schools Board of Trustees meeting, he will announce there will be no teacher layoffs for the 2014/2015 school year. This makes the second year in a row of there being no teacher layoffs in the school district, after at least 10 years of multiple layoffs in a row. School officials also say student enrollment has declined for the past ten years, but has increased this year and is projected to go up next year. They say the enrollment numbers, as well as accurate projections of enrollment numbers are among the reasons no teachers had to be laid off recently.

Attachment 8250
Would love to hear any reccos for tools/methods/kits I would need to fix this type of a crack.
is your stringer ok ?
If that's a buckle... and it appears to be from the pic... it's not your typical ding repair. That beefy stringer's what kept it from snapping. If the stringer's not compromised, and if there are no stress cracks on the other side, you might get away with cutting out the damaged glass and just patching with several layers of cloth. If there's more damage than meets the eye, you should strip off a wide panel on either side of the crack and reglass, and you might even have to reinforce the stringer... I use fin roving/rope, but others use wood.
no signs on the other side of the board. thanks for the feedback.
how much should I dig out around the crack?
yes - it seems to be. This happen about 7 years ago and have been riding it. Just now getting the time to learn how to fix it.
there's some color around the crack, not sure if water got to the foam or sand. the resin that goes over will be clear like glass. the more time and effort the better the results. quick fixes show.
If you've been riding it, and it hasn't gotten worse, I'd say there may be no need to cut away any glass. If I saw it in person, I might have more solid plan, but from the pic, and what you're saying, I'd say... just sand it heavily. I'd machine sand it with a 6" hard pad, but you could use an orbital or disk... whatever you can get your hands on. Sand the crack and the area around it right down to the weave... maybe even go through the first layer of glass right at the crack. Sand an area about 4-6" on either side of the damage, mask off the unsanded surface with tape, and laminate with 6oz cloth. I'd do about a 6" strip right over the crack, then a 8-10" strip over that, then a 10-12" strip over that. Fair the edges, hotcoat, sand.

March for Marriage isn't antigay, Archbishop Cordileone says
Updated 8:10 pm, Monday, June 16, 2014
San Francisco's Roman Catholic archbishop told critics who have assailed his decision to speak Thursday at the March for Marriage in Washington, D.C., that the event is not an attack on gays and lesbians.
"The March for Marriage is not 'anti-LGBT' (as some have described it); it is not anti-anyone or anti-anything," Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said in a letter released Monday. "Rather, it is a pro-marriage march. The latter does not imply the former. Rather, it affirms the great good of bringing the two halves of humanity together so that a man and a woman may bond with each other and with any children who come from their union."
Cordileone addressed the letter to Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and several other politicians and gay rights groups. They called on Cordileone last week not to attend the march, noting that its sponsors include the National Organization for Marriage and the Family Research Council, which they said were among "the national's most virulently anti-LGBT organizations."
March organizers hope to draw thousands of supporters of heterosexual-only marriage to the capital. Cordileone and former GOP presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum are billed as the star speakers.
Cordileone was one of the main backers of Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that California voters approved to ban same-sex marriage. Federal courts later threw out the initiative, and as popular support has swung toward same-sex marriage rights, some Prop. 8 backers have complained that they've been harassed because of their support of the measure.
Without referring to Prop. 8, Cordileone wrote that "it is true that historically in our society violence has been perpetrated against persons who experience attraction to members of the same sex, and this is to be deplored and eradicated. Sadly, though, we are now beginning to see examples, although thankfully not widespread, of even physical violence against those who hold to the conjugal view of marriage."
