FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates generally to electrical power distribution components. More particularly, the invention relates to automatic reclosers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The basic functions of an electrical power system are to continuously maintain an adequate and reliable supply of electric power to customers. However, performing these functions is not always possible because various types of failures occur randomly and beyond the control of system engineers. Power system planners, designers, and operators are generally concerned with the reliability of their systems and the determination of realistic availability targets for their systems. Recently, this concern has been accentuated by the introduction of competition in the marketplace among utility companies. Now, utility companies are jockeying among themselves to provide distinguishable services in an effort to sustain existing customers and to attract new customers.
As a result, power system operators are constantly developing improved components for power distribution systems that will enhance the system's reliability. For example, many power utilities around the world use fuses on their lateral lines. In addition to fuses, utilities may employ an automatic power restoration device or recloser. A recloser is used in an electrical distribution system to protect high voltage power lines by minimizing power distribution interruptions caused by transients or faults.
In operation, a recloser acts as an intelligent circuit breaker. In this sense, a recloser opens or trips a circuit when a certain event occurs; usually this event is the appearance of current, voltage, and/or frequency in a line. In one sense, when the recloser detects an overcurrent, i.e., current exceeding a predetermined threshold, the recloser will trip. The recloser serves to isolate the faulted portions of the line by opening that portion. The recloser then closes the open portion of the circuit after a predetermined period of time, usually when the appearance of current, voltage, and/or frequency disappears.
A recloser control device, which can be an electronic control circuit, operates a recloser. A recloser is usually mounted to a pole or tower that suspends power lines above the ground. However, use with below ground systems is also known.
More particularly, reclosers are electromechanical devices, similar to circuit breakers. Reclosers are distributed at one or more locations along a power line, typically upline from a fuse. When a fault condition is detected by the recloser controller, the recloser will begin to timeout. In other words, the recloser controller will initiate a trip to open the recloser if the fault condition has not cleared itself during a fixed time interval, where the time interval is a function of current. Then, after a time delay, as the name suggests, the recloser will close, and if the fault condition has been cleared, power service is restored. If, however, the fault condition has not been cleared, the recloser controller will again trip open the recloser after a second fixed time interval. If, after a predetermined number of reclose operations, the fault condition has not been cleared, the recloser controller will permanently lockout the recloser (i.e., permanently open the circuit). The circuit then remains open until the system is repaired and/or the fault condition is eliminated.
Thus, a primary function of a recloser is to save fuses. In general, this is done by sensing the peak value of the current conducted and interrupting its flow by opening or tripping a recloser before a fuse blows. After an interval or time delay, the recloser closes, thereby restoring power to the system where it remains closed until the next fault is sensed.
The rate at which a fuse will blow and interrupt current is a function of the thermal heating of the fusible element. The rate of thermal heating is proportional to the power generated by the fault and each fuse has a time current characteristic which describes the time interval required to interrupt the fault current. The time interval is generally approximately inversely proportional to the value of the root mean square of the fault current. It is desirable to coordinate the recloser with the fuses to be saved to insure that the recloser in fact interrupts temporary fault currents before the fuses to be protected are blown. This is generally done by approximating the root mean square value of the fault current by sensing its peak value.
It must also be recognized that not all faults which occur on a power distribution line are temporary, such as those caused by a branch momentarily falling against the line. Some faults are of a more permanent nature such as those caused by a line falling to the ground. As a consequence, reclosers are built so that they will only trip a limited number of times within a short duration before locking open. Were this not done, a recloser would cycle until failure and many of the fuses to be protected would blow anyway.
At some magnitude of fault current it is desirable to have the recloser open immediately to protect the line rather than following an inverse time current characteristic. At intermediate levels it may be desirable from the power distribution standpoint to allow the fault current to flow for a limited period to allow the fault to burn itself open or blow the fuse. Many reclosers have alternate inverse time current characteristics which achieve this goal. Typically, a recloser will allow two shots or trip operations to follow a fast time current characteristic and two additional shots along a somewhat slower time current characteristic before locking open or out.
Conventional reclosers for three phase systems open all three phases at the same time upon detection of a fault on any one phase. Additionally, a recloser can partially trip. That is, the recloser trips only one phase or two phases of three phases, on a three phase electrical power line. For example, if a fault is detected on only one phase of a network distribution, the recloser will open on that phase only and leave the remaining phases operational. For a two phase fault, the recloser opens only those two phases where the fault occurs and leaves the remaining phases operational. This feature allows an electric utility to prevent unnecessary three phase power outages in their distribution networks when the interruption is only single phase or two phase.
However, when a recloser trips only a single phase or two phases, a current imbalance in the distribution network can result. This current imbalance in turn can cause higher neutral/ground currents. The increase in neutral/ground current could be overcurrent and can appear as a ground fault to the system. Overcurrent in the neutral/ground line results in a three phase trip. Therefore, it is desirable to prevent a three phase trip after a partial trip of a recloser because the design of a partial trip is to prevent a three phase trip.
Therefore, a need exists for apparatuses and methods for automatically adjusting the current threshold of a neutral/ground line after a partial trip, thereby preventing a three phase trip.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to apparatuses and methods for preventing a three phase trip of a power line in a power distribution network delivering electrical power through a plurality of current carrying conductors and a neutral/ground line. The three phase trip is prevented after a change in the current in the neutral/ground line caused by a partial trip of a recloser.
In an exemplary method, a partial trip in the power distribution network is detected, and then a threshold current is automatically adjusted from a first level to a second level for the neutral/ground line. The threshold current represents the amount of current the neutral/ground line will draw before activating a three phase trip.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram an electric power transmission system 100. Generally, electric power transmission system 100 comprises three major components: generating facilities that produce the electric power, a transmission network that carries the electric power from the generation facilities to a distribution system, and the distribution system that delivers the electric power to the consumer.
More particularly, as shown in FIG. 1, a power generation source 101 is a facility that produces electric power. Power generation source 101 includes a generator (not shown) that creates the electrical power. The generator may be a large diesel engine or gas turbine, for example. Alternatively, the generator may be a steam turbine operated by burning coal, oil, natural gas, or a nuclear reactor. In each case, power generation source 101 provides three phase alternating current (AC) power. The AC power typically has a voltage of a few thousand volts.
A transmission substation (not shown) then increases the voltage from power generation source 101 to high-voltage levels for long distance transmission on high-voltage transmission lines 102. Typical voltages found on high-voltage transmission lines 102 range from about 69 to about 800 kilovolts (kV). High-voltage transmission lines 102 are supported by high-voltage transmission towers 103. High-voltage transmission towers 103 are large metal support structures attached to the earth, so as to provide a ground potential to system 100. High-voltage transmission lines 102 carry the electric power from power generation source 101 to a substation 104. A typical distance between power generation source 101 and substation 104 is approximately three hundred miles. High-voltage transmission lines 102 typically consist of four wires, three current-carrying conductors for each phase of the three phase AC power and one neutral conductor.
Generally, substations act as a distribution point in system 100 and a point at which voltages are stepped-down to reduced voltage levels. Substation 104 converts the power on high-voltage transmission lines 102 from transmission voltage levels to distribution voltage levels. In particular, substation 104 uses transformers 107 that step down the transmission voltages from their original levels (e.g., about 69 to about 800 kV) to distribution voltages that typically are less than about 10 kV. In addition, substation 104 may include an electrical bus (not shown) that serves to route the distribution level power in multiple directions. Furthermore, substation 104 often includes circuit breakers and switches (not shown) that permit substation 104 to be disconnected from high-voltage transmission lines 102 when a fault occurs on the lines.
Substation 104 typically is connected to a distribution transformer 105. Distribution transformer 105 may be an aerial transformer located atop a telephone or electric pole, or a pad-mounted transformer located on the ground, for example. Voltage levels between substation 104 and distribution transformer 105 typically are less than about 10 kV. Distribution transformer 105 steps-down the voltage to voltage levels required by a customer premise 106, for example. Such voltages typically range from about 240 volts to about 440 volts. Also, distribution transformer 105 may function to distribute one, two or all three phases of the three phase current to customer premise 106, depending upon the demands of the user.
Delivering power from the generation source 101 to the customer premise 106 is a difficult task. Oftentimes, faults and disturbances occur in the system and interrupt the delivery of power. A fault is a failure in the electrical delivery system. Typically, during a system disturbance, large increases in current will occur.
If, however, a recloser (such as recloser 10) is implemented in the system, during a system disturbance, the recloser will sense a current increase and will operate by opening and effectively cutting off current flow in order to protect the distribution system and its components. Since many fault conditions are temporary, a recloser is designed to close after a short period of time, thereby establishing normal current flow. For example, during a thunderstorm, if lightning were to strike the distribution system, the power to one's home may be disrupted for a few seconds causing lights and appliances to turn OFF (recloser opening), then ON (recloser closing). Once the recloser closes, if it senses the continued presence of increased current, it will again open. Such cycling between open and closed may occur three times before the recloser remains open.
It should be understood that the term �recloser�, as used herein, covers various combinations of reclosers, sectionalizers, circuit breakers and the like, which may also be used within the scope of this invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary recloser coupled to a three phase power line in which the present invention may be embodied. With reference to FIG. 2, an exemplary recloser 10 is attached to a three phase power line, as shown. The recloser 10 comprises four poles 15. The power line 20 is a three phase power line with three power lines 25 each carrying a separate phase and a neutral or ground line 27. Three poles 15 are connected to an associated power line 25, thereby being energized by an associated phase. The fourth pole 15 is connected to the neutral or ground line 27. The recloser 10 is controlled by recloser controller 5.
The basic components of an automatic recloser 10 are a high-speed circuit breaker, overcurrent protection, trip logic, and automatic closing logic with an operation counter. When an overcurrent of sufficient magnitude (i.e., greater than a predetermined amount of current) flows through the recloser 10, the tripping action is initiated and a circuit interrupting contact within the affected pole(s) 15 opens with an operation counter advancing one count. After a preset time delay, the recloser contacts are automatically closed, thereby re-energizing the associated power line 25. If the fault persists, this tripping and reclosing sequence is repeated a predetermined number of times, as set by the controller 5, until a lockout function is initiated. If the fault was transient and cleared during any period when the recloser 10 was open, then the recloser 10 will remain closed after a short time delay, reset to its original condition ready for the next operation.
An exemplary recloser for use with the present invention is the VR-3S recloser manufactured and distributed by ABB Power T&D Company, Inc., Raleigh, N.C. Magnetic actuators open and close the recloser's main contacts.
More particularly, the recloser 10 is controlled by microprocessor-based controller 5 that contains software. There are two basic design areas that make up a microprocessor-based controller 5. The physical elements, such as integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors, displays, switches, and so forth, are called �hardware�. Once constructed, they are not readily changeable. The second basic design area in the microcomputer includes computer programs and documentation. These elements are called �software� since they are readily changeable.
A microcomputer based on a microprocessor and associated memories and interfacing components is used in the recloser controller 5 to process input signals in a manner appropriate to the basic requirement for a recloser control. The microprocessor performs the various arithmetic and logic functions of the control. In particular, the required logic circuits as well as capabilities for servicing are typically included.
Memory is provided for temporarily and/or permanently storing data. In a recloser 10, for example, this information would include line current magnitudes. Read only memory (ROM) is preferably electrically programmable for easy modification and is used for storing programming information. In a recloser controller 5, for example, the memory module contains command information including multiple time-current characteristic curves.
An exemplary control unit is the PCD2000 power control device manufactured and distributed by ABB Power T&D Company, Inc., Raleigh, N.C. The control device can provide an interface for remote communication with SCADA systems using MODBUS RTU, MODBUS ASCII, and DNP 3.0 protocols. The controller can be programmed to implement other protocols. Ports are available for external links through a radio, modem, or direct fiber optic communications, for example.
Typical command information for a recloser controller includes first time current characteristics for phase and ground currents which usually result in the more rapid tripping of the recloser 10, and second time current characteristics for phase and ground currents which usually result in the recloser 10 remaining closed longer under fault conditions.
FIG. 3 is a graph showing time and current characteristics of an exemplary recloser. The characteristics shown are those that would typically be stored in a recloser controller. The two curves shown are the time and current characteristics of a neutral/ground line 110 (such as line 27 of FIG. 2) and the time and current characteristics of a phase line 120 (such as one of the lines 25 of FIG. 2). Typically, although not always, the time and current characteristics of the neutral phase are lower and thus more sensitive than the phase line. This is graphically illustrated by curve 110 being below curve 120.
Points 112 and 122 on their respective curves represent the amount of current at which the recloser will open the circuit and in what amount of time. Points 112 and 122 are commonly referred to as pickup points, i.e., the point at the least amount of current will trip the recloser. The pickup points are also commonly referred to as overcurrent and the terms may be used interchangeably herein. For example, if current I appears in a neutral line exhibiting the characteristics of curve 110, it will take time T for the recloser controller to open the circuit via the recloser.
In a partial trip of a recloser, each phase of the recloser is individually monitored (i.e., each line 25 is individually monitored) by the recloser controller and can be tripped through the protection elements on the phase that detects fault current (i.e., current above the pickup threshold level) to initiate a phase to trip open. In determining if a single phase is faulted, a protection element within the recloser detects a fault condition. The protection element enters pickup, then after predetermined time elapses, a trip operation results. It is possible to trip any and all phases that are in the pickup state at the time trip is determined.
In normal operation, the three phases (vectors) of power system sum to zero which result in zero current flowing through the ground or return line 27. However, a partial trip of a recloser often causes the lines of the system to become unbalanced. The line unbalance results in current being drawn through the neutral/ground line 27. The recloser controller 5 that is monitoring the system detects this unbalance but knows that this unbalance is the result of the partial (one or two phase) trip and not a ground fault. In order to prevent the ground line from subsequently erroneously tripping due to the load imbalance, in accordance with the invention, the recloser controller (and thus the recloser) automatically adjusts the threshold current at which the neutral/ground line will trip.
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of an exemplary method of adjusting the current threshold of a neutral/ground line in accordance with the invention. First, at step 300, the recloser controller recognizes that the recloser has performed a partial trip. It should be noted that the recloser and recloser controller desirably recognize that a partial trip has occurred. This is so because, had a partial trip not occurred, then a variation in the current of the neutral line would likely mean that a fault occurred somewhere in the system and the recloser preferably trips in its normal manner, as described above.
After recognizing a partial trip, at step 305, the recloser controller measures the current that appears in the neutral/ground line due to the load imbalance. The recloser controller, at step 310, automatically adjusts the current threshold of the neutral/ground line from a first current threshold level to a second current threshold level. The current measured at step 305 can be used in the determination of the threshold level.
Preferably, the second current threshold level of the neutral/current line is equal to the minimum operating point or pickup point of the phase line. In this manner, if the current in the neutral/ground line exceeds the minimum operating point of the phase line, then all three phases will trip according to its time and current characteristic curve.
After adjusting the current threshold, the recloser controller continuously monitors the current in the neutral line at step 315, and based on the status of the line, responds accordingly. More particularly, if the current in the neutral line exceeds the raised current threshold, then the recloser controller initiates a three phase trip, at step 320. Thus, a three phase trip can still occur. On the other hand, at step 322, if the current in the neutral line falls below the first current threshold level, then the recloser controller adjusts the current threshold current back to the first current threshold. Moreover, as represented by step 324, if the current in the neutral line maintains about the same level, then the recloser controller will continue to monitor the current in the neutral/ground line.
It is contemplated that adjusting the current threshold is implemented in the software of the recloser controller. However, the adjusting can be done from many other locations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
FIG. 5 is a graph showing further time and current characteristics of an exemplary recloser in accordance with the invention. Similar to curve 110 in FIG. 3, curve 310 represents the time and current characteristics of a neutral or ground line. Similar to curve 120 in FIG. 3, curve 320 represents the time and current characteristics of one of the phase lines. In operation, after a partial trip occurs (single or two phase), a current IR appears in the neutral line. Conventionally, once current IR appears in the neutral line, the line would trip in timex. However, in accordance with the present invention, once the current IR is detected by the recloser controller, the threshold current is automatically raised to a new level, e.g., ISET, responsive to the increase in the current in the neutral/ground line. Consequently, the neutral line will not trip until the current in the neutral line, IR, reaches ISET. Thus, a three phase trip is prevented because the recloser controller reacted to a change in the neutral line current due to a partial trip of a recloser and adjusted the current threshold. Had the recloser controller not adjusted the current threshold in neutral line, and IR exceeded the threshold current, a three phase trip would occur.
As shown, ISET is the same as the minimum operating point 322 of the phase line represented by curve 320. Graphically speaking, once the partial trip is detected and IR appears in the neutral line, if ISET is set to the minimum operating point of curve 320, as is shown in FIG. 5, it is as if the curve 310 is shifted to curve 320. In other words, the time and current characteristics of the neutral line will be the same as the time and current characteristics of the phase line, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment.
It is appreciated that the adjusted current threshold, ISET, can be adjusted to any level. As stated earlier, in one embodiment of the invention, the adjusted current threshold can be set to the minimum operating point of curve 320. However, ISET can be set below or above the minimum operating point of curve 320.
In another embodiment of the invention, instead of initiating a three phase trip when the current in the neutral/ground line exceeds the adjusted current threshold, the current threshold is adjusted to another level. In this manner, the current threshold may be adjusted several times before the current threshold reaches the current threshold of the phase line (e.g., the phase line represented by curve 320). FIG. 6 illustrates this situation.
FIG. 6 is a graph showing additional time and current characteristics of an exemplary recloser in accordance with the invention. In FIG. 6, ISET1 is adjusted to a level that is below the minimum operating point 322 of curve 320 after the detection of an initial current IR1 in the neutral line. Consequently, if IR2 appears in the neutral line after the adjusted current threshold has been set to ISET1, in accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the recloser controller will again adjust the current threshold to level ISET2. This again prevents a three phase trip because, had the current threshold not been raised to level ISET2 then, all three phases would trip as a result of the line current exceeding the threshold current.
It is appreciated that the current threshold whether it be the first current threshold level or the adjusted current threshold level may be set by any party whether it be the operator of utility lines or the manufacturer of the recloser controller without departing from the scope of the invention. Additionally, it is appreciated that the adjusting of the current threshold may be done on-line or off-line without departing from the scope of the invention.
It is also appreciated that other conditions, other than overcurrent, may trip a recloser in accordance with the invention. Such as, for example, a variance in voltage, frequency or the like may also occur and trip a recloser in accordance with the invention without departing from the scope of the invention.
Although exemplary embodiments of the invention has been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many additional modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the invention.

Frozen Politics Eh': Liberals show signs of life
Stephane Dion must be breathing a sigh of relief. The vote on the last possible confidence motion that opposition parties can bring forth this spring took place on Monday. It was a NDP motion criticizing the government's ability to manage the economy. It was worded in such a way that the Liberals had no choice but to once again show their support without accidentally toppling the government. The motion was defeated 109 - 89 (40 BQ, 27 NDP, Liberals 20, Independent 2).
The Liberals demonstrated a different strategy from other confidence votes this session. Enough MPs showed up to make the vote at least respectable. On previous occasions they sent the front bench to vote with some relevant critics and the occasional backbencher. On this vote the top brass of the party including the whips did not vote. Instead they had 12 critics and 8 backbenchers to represent the party.
Now that the Liberals are past the stage of constantly being embarrassed by in-action they can begin working on their attempts to regain power. There are plenty of scandals both relevant and completely in left field to attack the government. Over the summer they will unroll planks of their election platform in order to begin building public support. The vote demonstrates that the Liberals are filling their roll as Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.
Democracy works best when the government has a strong opposition to hold it accountable. By definition the Bloc cannot do the job. The NDP has done an admirable job bringing up important issues and avoiding scandals that only help to score political points. Hopefully the Liberals will continue to return to fill their roll as the official opposition.

A Nook for Books: Review & Author Guest Post: The Priest and the Peaches by Larry Peterson
By: Larry PetersonPub. Date: December 21, 2011Publisher: Tribute BooksSource: PublisherHistorical fiction novel set in the Bronx in the mid-1960s.
After their father died, eighteen year old Teddy and his seventeen year old sister, Joanie are forced to become adults quickly and take care of their three younger brothers-Dancer, Beeker and Joey. While planning their father's funeral, and trying to get everything in order, they realize their father owed a lot of money. Teddy has to figure out how to pay for three months worth of rent, electric, and gas. I really liked Teddy. He was a fantastic older brother and did right by his brothers and sister. He was able to hold everyone together, and he never complained. He was very admirable. The other characters were also great! The Peach children are hilarious and their father's friends are definitely an interesting set of characters! While I am not of fan of religious books and the power of God, I really liked how the Peaches religious views were incorporated into the story. They believed that their father was watching them from heaven and helping them by giving them small miracles. As I said earlier, The Priest and the Peaches was also very funny. So many times I found my self laughing out loud at some of things the Peaches' said. And that funeral? That funeral was one of the most exciting and crazy funerals I have ever heard read about. This story really is about family. It had a wonderful message and it was just all around a great book to read. I read it in two settings. Everything flowed very nicely and the ending was beautiful! I would highly recommend The Priest and the Peaches. It is a feel good story, and sometimes you need a story like that! Today, author Larry Peterson dropped by the blog. Here is what he has to say:
Having said all of that I now admit that I experienced an enhanced range of rolling emotions when The Priest and The Peaches launched. Slippery Willie's Stupid, Ugly Shoes, my first published book and a children's book, was introduced in January 2011. That provided an emotional ride but this time, well, this is a novel and I am being tossed about by unpredictable waves of feelings. There is a personal pride in the work accompanied by a sense of accomplishment. There are feelings of excitement knowing you can say you are an author. There is definitely a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for those who encouraged and supported me (especially my wife, Marty, and Nicole Langan at Tribute Books). Finally, and this is the under-tow or mini tsunami coming the other way, there is a nagging feeling of insecurity that keeps whispering in my ear, "You wrote a book? You gotta be kidding." Once I get that "whisperer" to shut up I'll be good to go.Thank you so much Larry for stopping by and thank you for writing such a beautiful book!

I'm with you - you can't help but laugh out loud at certain passages. Anyone who's been around young children will certainly see how the antics of Joey and Dancer are so true to life. Thanks for taking the time to read and review Larry's latest YA release and for allowing him to express his thoughts on how much the launch meant to him.Kate and Lalaine - we appreciate your comments!ReplyDeleteLarry PetersonFebruary 9, 2012 at 2:01 PMHI Kristina---all I can say is "YOUR REVIEW MADE MY DAY"Thank you,Larry PetersonReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...

PANDU SPOT: Srikalahasti Temple
This temple is one of the most impressive Siva temples in India. Vishwakarma Brahmin Sthapthis who sculpted this temple need to be eulogized for their excellent architectural cognizance. This temple features an enormous, ancient gopuram (entrance tower) over the main gate. The tower is 36.5 m (120 ft) high. The entire temple is carved out of the side of a huge stone hill.
The initial structure of this temple was constructed by the Pallava dynasty in the 5th century. The Chola kings and the Vijayanagara kings also gave great help for the temple development. Like other great temples, the construction period of Sri Kalahasthi temple lasted centuries. Around the 10th century, the Chola kings renovated the temple and constructed the main structure.
The outer walls and the four gopurams were constructed in the period of Sri Veera Narasimharayar in 12th century. The 120 feet (37 m) high main gopuram and the 100 pillar mandapam were constructed by Krishnadevaraya, the Vijayanagara king in 1516. Mr.Ramanathan Nattukkottai Chettiyar of Devakkottai, developed the structure as it is today by spending one million dollars in 1912.[citation needed]. Tamil saints Nayanars like Appar, Sundarar and Sambanthar praised the deity in their hymns—the tevaram.
Sri Kalahasti is named after the staunch devotees of Lord Shiva. They were the Spider (Sri), the Serpent (Kala) and the Elephant (Hasti). Appeased with their unflinching devotion, Lord Shiva gave them a boon that their names be merged with the Vayulinga and called as Sri Kalahasteeswara According to Hindu mythology, the elephant or Hasti used to clean the Shiva deity by watering the idol with the help of river-water carried in his trunks and pray for him by placing Vilva leaves. The spider or Sri tried to protect the deity from external damage by weaving his web and to provide shelter for the Shiva lingam. The snake or Kala used to place its precious gem on the linga to adorn the lord. In this way, they all worshipped the Vayu linga separately without knowing what the other was doing.
There are several other legends connected to the glory of the temple. Prominent among them is of Parvati who was cursed by Lord Shiva to discard her heavenly body and assume the human form. To get rid off the above curse Parvati did a long penance here. Pleased with her deep devotion Lord Shiva again restored her body – a hundred times better than her previous heavenly body and initiated various mantras including the Panchakshari. Consequent of this, Parvati gained and came to be known as Shiva-Gnanam Gnana Prasunamba or Gnana Prasunambika Devi.
Cursed to became a ghost Ghanakala prayed at Srikalahasti for 15 years and after chanting Bhairava Mantra many times Lord Shiva restored her original form.
To Bhakta Markandeya, Lord Shiva appeared in Sri Kalahasti and preached that a Guru alone could make esoteric teachings and, therefore he is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara.
Rahu – Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana Puja
Srikalahasteeswara Swamy Temple is reputed as the Rahu Kethu Kshetra, If the People who have Rahu Kethu Doshas and Sarpa Doshas, the un married and No children and those who are facing various problems for long period and perform the most effective Rahu – Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana Puja in this Temple all the Doshas get removed and desired results occur.

This is offered in three variations, all of which serve the same purpose but offer varying degrees of comfort and special treatment for the devotee. There are 3 rates for pooja; Rs. 300/, Rs. 750/- and Rs. 1500/-. While Rs. 300/- and Rs. 750/- pooja is performed outside prakaram(outer courtyard), and Rs. 1500/- is performed within temple premises. While you can perform pooja at any time, performing pooja during rahu kalam is considered to be auspicious. Sunday and Tuesday are the best days to perform pooja as Sunday and Tuesday are the days considered to be for Rahu and Kethu.(The Devastanam will arrange all Puja Materials)

Nithya Annadana scheme
Annasritani bhutani, annam paranamitrisruti tasmad annasn annamhi paramohini
There is no gift superior to Annadanam, the tradition of providing food to the sunging has been followed since the Vedic period. Annadata Sukhibhava (may the provider of food be happy) say the ancients, several crores of merits occur due to this pious act.

Temple tower collapse
The RajaGopuram of SriKalahasti Temple collapsed on 26 May 2010 as feared. According to sources, vibrations from borewell digging in the vicinity directly contributed to the collapse. "The digging goes on up to a depth of 500–600 ft," a geologist reasoned.
Archaeologists and experts, looking into the reasons of the imposing structure crashing down, found that it stood on a foundation that had a depth of only one-and-a-half feet.
How to Reach Kalahasti :-
The airport that is nearest to Srikalahasti is at Tirupati and is about 60 km away from Srikalahasti. The Tirupati airport has a regular network of flights coming from Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore and Madurai Airports. From the Tirupati airport one can hire a private taxi or take a state transport bus to reach Srikalahasti.
*There is no railway station in Kalahasti
All major trains stop at Srikalahasti enroute to other cities since it is on the broad gauge rail route. The town is well connected to major cities of South India via a strong network of trains. You can take a direct train to Srikalahasti without breaking your journey at other railway stations.
The government of Andhra Pradesh runs many buses to Srikalahasti from almost all cities, towns and villages in the state. The state run transport forms network between Srikalahasti and cities like Tirupati, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Nellore. There are some private buses also that ply from many cities to Srikalahasti but they charge more than the state run buses.

Fire pit available. You supply wood. Has a private hot outdoor shower and hot and cold running water inside from mid May to mid Oct. Max occupancy is 2 (zoning, strictly enforced). vcr with an assortment of movies
Great folks, great stay. The Fernwood cabin had more space than expected, was very private and clean. Main area was perfect, the screened in porch with sitting area was also a great surprise for morning coffee. Even enjoyed some classic VHS tapes after a long day of hiking, very …
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed and more. There is electricity, running hot water a heater and A/c. There was even a light in the outhouse. The outside shower is awesome! Thanks again!
This is not for everyone. It’s funky and interesting but the amenities are bare bones. Bring towels, soap and a sense of humor.
We are sorry you were unhappy with our cabin. We try to reach people who want accommodations such as we offer. Unfortunately we have about one per year who is disappointed. Our area is exploding with tourism. Our beautiful Hotel Saranac is being completely renovated to draw the ultra rich. Another hotel is planned on our waterfront and it to will be ultra plush. In Lake Placid, which is 10 miles away, cabins like you were looking for run from $1500 to $2500 per night. Obviously the little man and Mom and Pop cabins are on the way out. In NYS it is now illegal to even advertise a bed and breakfast where the owner lives on the property. I am almost 80 and my wife has been ill. In 10 years, all the Mom and Pop cabins will be gone. The mouse problem is an ongoing struggle and we are sorry that you found a dead mouse. We really do try to keep ahead of them. There are 3 electronic mouse repellers in that cabin and normally they work quite well. You must also take into consideration that our cabins are built in the mices living room and I guess they figure they were here first. In the fall, all the mice are looking for a place to camp for the winter. Jon Bombard
This place is wonderful! Very quaint and charming. It's out in the woods, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, yet still a 5 minute drive to the downtown area with great restaurants and bars. We kayaked St. Regis lake and hiked St. Regis mountain (30 minutes away) and visited t…
Amazing spit hidden from the world but only 5 minutes from Saranac Lake and 10 from Lake Placid. 10x better value for a private getaway with my girlfriend in a quiet area. We enjoyed our stay so much we plan on returning again soon!
We had a great weekend get-away. The accomodations were rustic and comfortable. Our pooch had a great time too.
The place is secluded and nice. Filled with things you would find in an antique store. The outdoor shower was a fun touch and loved the screened in porch area. Heat source in the house was good too. We spent a long weekend there hiking, checking out local breweries, and relaxin…
Thanks for your constructive criticism. Will take care of the cover.

Railways to try Japanese technology in bio-toilets at stations - The Economic Times
Business News›Industry›Transportation›Railways›Railways to try Japanese technology in bio-toilets at stations
Sep 16, 2018, 04.35 PM IST
The national transporter is addressing the biggest complaint that passengers have with its trains and stations -- toilets. The public transporter has faced public criticism for stinking toilets, especially in long-distance trains.
Smooth functioning of toilets is very essential for Indian Railways as some train journey lasts for 30 to 40 hours. Besides, Indian Railways also plans to test hybrid toilets -- bio-vacs -- which are bio-toilets with the vacuum flush facility. It is procuring 2,000 bio-vacuum hybrid toilets for 500 coaches and will scale up depending on the response.
The Railways aims to complete the installation of bio-toilets in all coaches by March 2019. The bio toilets were fitted first in new coaches and then retrofitted in the old ones. This is done at railway workshops in Mumbai's Parel, Bhopal and Jhansi.
Railways has set a high target of installing 90,000 bio-toilets in 22,500 coaches in the current fiscal.

A marvellous piece of workmanship
I have checked lots of rhinos put on sale on ebay. And in my opinion, this is one of the very few, very best - and i think it's probably the best one - that realistically shows all the features of this wild animal, the eyes, the stand, the horn, the ears, tail ... Extremely well done !. If it were of a size of a real one, it would be difficult to tell the difference, particularly when looking at it at the sunset time ! This one stands out, apart from lots of other ones, being made with stiff, "fake" features that obviously show only the half- real look of this animal, which animal is feared even by the lion, let alone by the tiger , popularly mis - thought as being the most powerful wild predator . An item of a cheap price but of very good quality, indeed !

During our spring trek to Northern Arizona, we stopped by the Wupatki National Monument, a well-known Native American ruins. It is one of several sites preserving pueblos, ancient villages, and was once habited by the Anasazi and Sinagua Indians in the 12th & 13th century.
In the Hopi language, Wupatki Pueblo means ‘big house’ as it was once a home to a community of three hundred people.
Distant Photographs

“I wish that photographs were physical spaces, like tunnels; that you could crawl inside them and go back.”
-Lauren Oliver, Vanishing Girls I would love to crawl into a photograph, spiraling back in time, into a place where the future seemed so far away, where my father’s arms seemed like the width of the world, and each day was a glimpse into eternity.
The past, faded memories, scratched up receipts and christmas cards, glitter falling off of old artwork from preschool, catch and release, and suddenly we are here, conclusion of March, grasping onto things and people that no longer exist

Harvesting Oranges in Sunny Arizona
January 20, 2016 January 20, 2016 ~ nysha	~ Leave a comment
Fruit picking can be such a joyful time of bonding and reflecting upon nature’s wonders. Orange trees are a norm in sunny Arizona but my Chicago-blooded heart still cries a little bit inside whenever I see a patch of orange speckles against a sea of lush green.
Our church friends bought a house that was built on what was once a large orange orchard. They have a little forest of orange trees growing in their backyard… its so wonderful. I was a bit jealous at first but then had a few nightmares wondering what they could do with all those oranges. Maybe create a lucrative orange bakery? That’s what I would do!

Nelson, Jeffery A. Sanders, Alan W. Treece, William C. Forsythe, Clay W. LutherOriginal AssigneeCisco Technology, Inc.Export CitationBiBTeX, EndNote, RefManPatent Citations (7), Referenced by (57), Classifications (33), Legal Events (4) External Links: USPTO, USPTO Assignment, EspacenetMethod and apparatus for accessing a database through a networkUS 6601065 B1Abstract A system (10) includes a client (14, 21) which can communicate through a network (12) and a database layer (29) with any of several databases (31-33). The client communicates with the database layer using a public network communication protocol, in a manner independent of respective protocols specific to each of the databases. The database layer handles communication with each database according to the respective protocol of that database.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION During recent years, the number of different types of databases in active use has been expanding, including recent popularity of databases conforming to the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Other types of databases include large scale relational databases. Unfortunately, each of these types of database tends to have its own protocol for access. A further development is that, with the rapid expansion of the Internet and other types of computer networks, more and more of these databases are becoming available by network. However, due to the wide variety of protocols needed to access these various databases, it is difficult for any single application program to have all of the intelligence needed to handle all of these protocols and thus communicate with most or all of these types of databases.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION From the foregoing, it may be appreciated that a need has arisen for a method and apparatus by which a client can access a repository through a network, where the client uses a protocol different from a protocol specific to the repository. According to the present invention, a method and apparatus are provided to address this need, and involve: providing a network through which can be transmitted message units that contain information in a digital form; transmitting from a client through the network a message which is in the form of at least one message unit and which contains a request directed to a repository, the request being in a first format conforming to a public network communication protocol; receiving the request from the network; thereafter converting the request from the first format to a second format compatible with a protocol of the repository; using the request in the second format to access the repository and obtain from the repository a response to the request, the response being in the second format; converting the response from the second format to the first format; and transmitting through the network to the client a further message which is in the form of at least one message unit and which contains the response in the second format.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system 10 which embodies the present invention. The system 10 includes a network 12, which is of a known type that is commonly used to transfer digital information between computers. Information is sent through the network 12 in the form of packets or message units, which include digital data and control information. In the disclosed embodiment, the network 12 includes a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, a local area network (LAN) such as an intranet conforming to the industry standard known as Ethernet, and/or a combination of such local and wide area networks.

Cropredy | FaithWorld
Cat Stevens | Cropredy | entertainment | Fairport Convention | folk rock | Yusuf Islam The gradual return of Yusuf Islam, the former Cat Stevens, to mainstream rock reached another milestone at the weekend when the 1970s singer-songwriter hit the stage at Fairport's Cropredy Convention, telling the crowd that this was, remarkably, his first festival gig in 37 years.
Now performing as simply Yusuf, the singer's appearance at the Oxfordshire festival was beautifully crafted, but in some ways as tentative as his emergence from decades of self-imposed exile as a devout convert to Islam.
His appearance was as a "friend" of Fairport Convention, meaning that he only performed briefly in the iconic folk-rock band's top-of-the-bill closing set.
The handful or so of songs may also have been a disappointment to some. He repeatedly fended off requests for the angst-anthem "Father and Son", saying he had not practised it. No room either for "Wild World", "Hard Headed Woman" or "Where do the Children Play?"
But the crowd did get a fine taste of Yusuf's lyrical new album, including title track "Roadsinger", along with a couple of oldies such as "Ruins" from 1972's Catch Bull at Four album.

tca building expansion,
Tubac Center of the Arts officially broke ground on the building expansion on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. It is a very exciting time for TCA and our Contractor has begun the construction of the building expansion which is expected to be completed by September 2012.We will continue to post photos of the building progress so check back often.
Tubac Center of the Arts Expansion and Renovation Q: What is happening regarding the space for Performing Arts? A: Planning for renovation of the existing space will be part of the renovation schedule. This will provide significant improvements for the Performing Arts space in the current Smith Gallery including raising the ceiling and stage areas, new and improved lighting, air conditioning, heating and installation of acoustic materials to enhance sound. We continue to seek funding for these important renovations. In addition, a footprint for what could be a future, larger Performing Arts space has been designated on the master plan. The utilities, septic field and other requirements for this future construction have all been considered and included with the work for the new addition. Construction of this additional space will be contingent upon need and funding availability. Q: When will construction begin? A: That depends upon the Board of Director’s decisions in January/February. Working with the design/build team, the Board will consider options for the most cost effective ways to move forward. We are so close! An impressive amount of donations and pledges have put us over $480,000; most have come from individual, private donors. We are looking to those who haven’t yet contributed, including businesses, to step forward in the next month as $40,000 to $50,000 in additional funds is still needed to begin construction of the new addition. Here’s a look at where we are in number/amount of pledges and donations: Gift Range Number of Gifts $100,000 1 $50,000 1 $25,000 4 $10,000 9 $5,000 10 $2,500 10 $1,000 24 Less than $1,000 58 We encourage gifts in any range and hope that many more in the less than $1,000 category will help put us over the goal. Q: Would all the work be done at once? What is the timeframe for completion? Why build now? A: Once started, Phase I for the new addition should be completed in five to eight months. The renovation work, Phase II, would come next and could be done in smaller steps, depending upon funding. The renovation would include work on the current office spaces, the Performing Arts improvements and the exterior work, including landscaping. It is important to build now while construction costs are low; approvals are in place and contracts with our design/build team will give us the very best prices. Delays may mean increased prices in the future. Q: What about the Summer Gallery and Summer Arts programs? A: We are already working with the local Montessori School in planning for classroom space for Summer Arts during construction. We will suspend the Summer Gallery in August until construction is complete on the new addition. Q: Why does TCA need a new gallery? How will it be used? A: This new gallery space will have various uses. Some exhibitions will focus on those artists that made Tubac famous as an art colony. Our Mission Statement includes “the collection and presentation of art that honors the artistic and historic heritage of Tubac and the Santa Cruz Valley”. Already we have had donations of two Ross Stefan paintings and the two missing pieces of the painting by Jean Wilson over our fireplace, which was originally a triptych. At other times there may be revolving use of the space as part of the current exhibition schedule and retrospectives of featured artists. TCA is not a museum and the gallery will change with current needs and featured artists. Posted by
Tubac Center of the Arts has outgrown its current space . . . and now ist he time to move forward with expansion and renovation in order to better serve the people of the valley in the 21st century. To accomplish this goal, your help is essential. Several donation options are available.Currently we have inadequate gallery and performance space, no dedicated workshop and classroom space, no meeting space, no permanent exhibition space, inadequate restroom facilities, shortage of work space, as well as limited shipping and receiving areas.Additional square footage and renovation will meet our needs for today and into the future, but this cannot be achieved without your support and donations. Thanks to the dedicated support of numerous community leaders, we are halfway to our fundraising goal, but to succeed, we depend on the generous help and donations of all our members and friends.GOAL: $700,000.DEADLINE: May, 2012BREAK GROUND: March 2012COMPLETION: Fall, 2012

Lord Jesus, may it be so. May there be a revolution in the hearts of the people of our country to surrender all to you and may it start in my own.
