Black-Hooded Figure in Meditation

I am new to the whole practice of meditation, and have only been doing it for about a year now.

About a week ago, I was meditating using an audio track that helps you to go into a trance/meditative state, and contact "spirit guides."

During the first few attempts at contacting these guides, I didn't really see anything but I felt head spinning like I was incredibly dizzy and felt detached from my body for a few seconds.

Last week was my 4th attempt, and I don't think I will ever do it again.

Everything was going fine. I was going into a trance. I felt like I was being lifted from my body (like before), except this time I could see around the room even though my eyes were closed. I saw a black figure coming over to my bed. It was obscure and blurry even though I thought I was looking right at it.

It seemed to lift up one of its arms, and at that moment I awoke from the trance. It was like I was underwater. I took a huge breath and my heart was pounding. Honestly, it was one of the most terrifying moments I have ever experienced.

What the hell did I see? Was it one of those shadow people?

I'd like to maybe hear if anyone has had similar experiences like this, and what they did following them, because frankly I'm terrified to even try and meditate again.

And no, my house isn't haunted (to my knowledge).

What is the souce of this CD? Who produced it?
I definetly would not use it again however when we are in an alterted state, these things can appear. Many people who practise getting out of body are faced at times with these scarey creaturs. In Ocultism they are called Guardians of the Threshold. Many Astral Body travellers have reported laughing at them or just telling them to get the heck away works. Don't be afraid of them and they go away. I have seen really scarey things in a meditative state but I just observe them or maybe open my eyes and laugh and ask what they want from me.

PS: They usually dont answer but leave.

Hey jipstix, despite your natural feelings and reactions to your experience , what was the general mood like? did you feel as though the shadow person was threatening, negative or wanted to harm/intimidate you in any way?
i'm curious as i've encountered shadow figures a few times when meditating (shadow figures being a name which i gave them and then came to realise that its quite a widespread thing. still not sure if my shadow figures are the same as others but then i guess its like humans, they're not all the same). The ones i encounter hardly move, they don't make a sound, they're just there, kinda like they're waiting. The first time it freaked me out a little but i hung around anyway, curious, observing, and i realised despite my initial reaction they weren't intimidating or scary, just different. I've been back to the same place in my meditation a few times and they're still there. Theres a few more of them too, all just waiting!
Anyway, can't claim to be much help with answers but hope theres some comfort in a shared similar experience. I'd be interested if you could remember anymore details about your experience, even the trivial.

It's strange seeing the shadowy figures while in meditation,even stranger for me,no that I see them while awake sometimes.I think that the dark colour probably happens because we have to use a different part of the brain to see them.

ok - here is an experience i had when i was very young. i was in bed trying to go to sleep. for quite some time i had been having nightmares about some 'strange man(?)" in black visiting me and 'pulling' me towards the end of the bed. i remember the sheets on top of me seeming to fill with air and a choking or smothering feeling. the thing that really locks this i for me as real was when i yelled and my mom ran in the room and turned on the light. my legs were hanging off the bed and the sheets were pulled down and unwrinkled. there is no way that any person could have done this and no way that i could have done this. this was the first time i yelled because the fear was so intense that i realized (or felt) this was real and not some weird dream.

to this day - almost 30 years later, i can sometimes 'sense' this presence near me. usually it is when i am mentally or physically fatigued and my psychic gaurd is down - otherwise i can generally block him (or them) out. I share this anonymously intentionally, but i do request that anyone with any serious advice on how to keep this entity away from me provide me with some. when he is around i can feel a 'malignant' or 'malevolent' presence. i don't want to say evil, but that could describe it as well. the presence is very dark. there have been other instances in my past where i fought with this entity and he does still 'visit' from time to time...

anyway, thanks in advance for any help.

Often, the first things that may manifest when someone is attempting to seek answers, from any source, are the fears they may have themselves. The first thing to identify is, why are you meditating? For answers or other reasons. If the answers are what you seek, you may not be as prepared for them as you may like.
When you ask questions, be prepared to have them answered. I hope I could help.

Frankly, I am meditating because I want to get past all of the repressed emotions in my life. After reading your post reticle, I think the hooded figure might be repressed emotions, is this possible?

I mean I feel lost right now like a skiff in the doldrums with no wind. I'm meditating to try and connect with myself again, but it seems as if there's a huge block in the way.

What I'd like to do is to expunge and expulse all of the negative emotions that I have stored up, but it's not working so far.

I'm thinking about trying to meditate again pretty soon, but I'll have to build up the courage for it.

Dude from Black Sabbath, I believe Geezer, wrote the tune Black Sabbath about his experience with a dark cloaked figure when he was getting into a serious mystical/Magick Crowley occult thing.

From wiki
"According to the band, the song was inspired by an experience that Geezer Butler related to Ozzy Osbourne. In the days of Earth, Geezer painted his apartment matte black and placed several inverted crucifixes on the walls. Then, one day, Ozzy brought round a book about witchcraft, which Geezer became extremely fascinated by. One night, he read the book and placed the book on a shelf before going asleep. When he woke up, a large black figure stood in front of him, staring at Butler while he as he said, "crapped myself." After the figure disappeared, Butler ran to check out the book, only to find that the book was gone...He then told Ozzy, who wrote the lyrics to what would become Black Sabbath: "What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me"."

That is rather frightening. I could suggest doing a Banishing Ritual before you start your meditation and if you are inclined to, there is an easy ritual called the Rosy Cross that can be used to protect yourself from psychic attack.

The figure in black could be the "dweller on the threshold". These sort of figures can appear at a time when you are making progress.

JC Players May Help Lobos Now

QB Mitchem, Defensive End Arrive Here With Accolades

When a Division I college football program signs a junior-college player, it’s normally with the expectation — or at least the hope — he can contribute right away.

Sometimes the answer turns out to be yes; sometimes it’s no.

Mike Mari and Doug Buckmaster likely would admit to being prejudiced when it comes to the talents and potential of two players they coached in junior college who, as of Monday, are enrolled at the University of New Mexico.

Still, they make a strong case for quarterback Clayton Mitchem, who played for Buckmaster at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M in Miami, Okla., and for defensive end Brett Bowers, who played for Mari at Mendocino College in Ukiah, Calif.

Both players come to Albuquerque with gaudy statistics and a treasure trove of honors earned at the juco level.

Bowers, a 6-foot-3, 265-pounder, was credited with 16 1/2 sacks and 22 tackles for loss last season a sophomore. He was an All-Bay Valley Conference selection.

Mari, Mendocino’s head coach last season — he since has relinquished those reins to focus on his duties as athletic director — calls Bowers “gifted. He has a lot of things a lot of guys don’t, and he’s worked hard to make what he’s been given better. … He really sells out to make himself the best player he can possibly be.”

Mitchem, 6-1 and 180 pounds, was the Southwestern Junior College Football Conference Player of the Year this past season. He threw for 2,435 yards and 27 touchdowns, with 10 interceptions, and rushed for 728 yards and 11 TDs.

Buckmaster, Mitchem’s offensive coordinator at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, calls his former QB “that run-pass threat that a lot of people are looking for in today’s college football world.”

Talent is one thing, performance another. But Mari and Buckmaster are confident the players they’re sending to UNM have the goods — not just physically, but mentally as well.

Mitchem, Buckmaster says, is one of the toughest players he has coached.

“When (teammates) know that he’s taking a lot of hits in a game, taken a beating in a game and he comes out for practice and you know he’s hurt, that earns their respect.” Buckmaster says.

“(Mitchem) had that respect, and the kids looked up to him.”

Mari described Bowers as a coach’s dream with, if anything, an overdeveloped sense of responsibility. He wound up at Mendocino out of high school because his brother had played there, but also because he was undersized and not an academic qualifier.

“He was only 210 pounds coming out of high school, and now he’s a 265-pound monster,” Mari says. “He was a late bloomer, but boy has he bloomed.”

Mitchem is from Fort Smith, Ark., but chose to attend Spiro (Okla.) High School because he wanted to play quarterback and not wide receiver.

“Not a whole lot of people knew about him,” Buckmaster says. “He kind of had a so-so junior year and then really came on as a senior. When I watched him on video I said, ‘This kid can play, and we’ve got to get this kid.'”

Both players, if their junior-college coaches have them pegged right, could fill a vital need for the Lobos.

Last season, UNM ranked 85th nationally in quarterback sacks with 21.

“Brett’s an edge player,” Mari says. “He really destroys one side of the field.”

On the other side of the ball, the Lobos, 4-9 last season, ranked 119th — next to last — in passing offense and 116th in pass efficiency.

Buckmaster says Mitchem, while adept at running the ball off the read option, is also a skilled drop-back passer.

“Clayton’s got a very strong arm, a very, very strong arm, to go along with his running ability,” Buckmaster says. “He’s just that double-threat guy.”

THEY’RE ALL BACK: A roster updated by UNM on Monday, the first day of spring-semester classes, shows that all of the Lobos’ eligible scholarship players from last season have returned.

Add one more in the person of offensive guard Johnny Vizcaino, who left the team and withdrew from school in October. Vizcaino has returned to the team. He did not play in a game last season and will be a redshirt freshman in 2013.

Bowers and Mitchem are joined by fellow junior-college transfer David Guthrie, a 5-10, 198-pound junior safety from College of the Siskiyous in Weed, Calif.

Reno Henderson, a sophomore offensive lineman from New Mexico Military Institute who signed with UNM last month, is not listed on the roster. Greg Archuleta, UNM’s sports information specialist for football, said Henderson has not been cleared academically.

The story of Samantha Martin, a rancher with a big heart, and her long-time best friend McKayla Farr, a bank teller who has a nose for trouble. When an accident brings them closer, their feelings turn to something more. Yet another disaester arises - will the women's relationship make it through? When their relationship is revealed to nearly all of Utah, it brings mixed reactions from friends and family. Confrontations with parents are unavoidable, but what will Sam do when an angry ex-boyfriend goes too far?

Kayla helps Sam solved the problem created by Aaron, and things are normal for a while. Until Hank makes his appearance - will Kayla fall for his charms? As if that wasn't enough, Sam's knee begins giving her trouble. After an attempt to exercise the joint fails, the rancher is left even more injured than she began, and with a predator on her trail.

With the help of Luke, Sam's brother, Kayla convinces an injured Sam to go to the doctor. When x-rays reveal that the pain in her knee is caused by her wound recieved in the line of duty so many years ago, the rancher agrees to surgery. While Sam is recuperating, Kayla takes care of Amy, after the girl's secret is out - to her parents. Christmas approaches, and the counselor becomes suspicious of Sam's actions; staying out later, lying, and smelling of men's cologne. The morning after a bad fight, Sam must find a way to get Kayla to forgive her, before their love is lost forever.

In the sweet conclusion, the rancher does whatever it takes to be forgiven, and the girls go all out for Christmas. But, the best gift is yet to come...

Human T Lymphotropic Virus Types I and II Western Blot Seroindeterminate Status and Its Association with Exposure to Prototype HTLV-I.

Yao K, Hisada M, Maloney E, Yamano Y, Hanchard B, Wilks R, Rios M, Jacobson S

Jacobson S, NINDS, Neuroimmunol Branch, NIH, Viral Immunol Sect, 9000 Rockville Pike,Bldg 10,Ste 5N214, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA NINDS, Neuroimmunol Branch, NIH, Viral Immunol Sect, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA NCI, Viral Epidemiol Branch, Div Canc Epidemiol & Genet, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA Johns Hopkins Univ, Dept Biol, Baltimore, MD 21218 USA US FDA, Rockville, MD 20857 USA Univ W Indies, Mona Kingston, Jamaica

Human T lymphotropic virus types I and II (HTLV-I/II) Western blot (WB) seroindeterminate status, which is defined as an incomplete banding pattern of HTLV protein Gag (p19 or p24) or Env (GD21 or rgp46), is commonly observed. To investigate the significance of this finding, we examined HTLV-I/II serostatus and HTLV-I proviral load in 2 groups of individuals with WB seroindeterminate status. Low proviral loads were detected in 42% of patients with neurologic symptoms and 44% of voluntary blood donors. These data suggest that a subset of WB seroindeterminate individuals may be infected with prototype HTLV-I. To confirm this hypothesis, we evaluated HTLV-I/II serostatus and proviral load in prospectively collected specimens from 66 WB seronegative patients who had received HTLV-I-infected blood products by transfusion. Eight individuals developed WB seroindeterminate profiles after the transfusion. In addition, using a human leukocyte antigen type A*201-restricted HTLV-I Tax11-19 tetramer, we detected virus-specific CD8(+) T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from WB seroindeterminate patients. These CD8(+) T cells were effective at targeting HTLV-I-infected cells. Collectively, the results suggest that HTLV-I/II WB seroindeterminate status may reflect a history of HTLV-I exposure. Our findings warrant further investigation of the possible clinical outcomes associated with WB seroindeterminate status.

La Grande, Oregon

Carlos Eugene Easley, 91, of La Grande, died May 10 at his home. A funeral service will begin at 3 p.m. Wednesday at the First Christian Church. Daniels-Knopp Funeral, Cremation & Life Celebration Center is in charge of arrangements.

Carlos was born April 7, 1917, the sixth of eight children, to George Woodson and Della Jeanette (Whitton) Easley in Chillicothe, Texas. He spent his early years in Texas, and then the family moved to Southern California where he attended schools in Baldwin Park and West Covina. One of his earliest memories is of a house fire that burned the family home. Everything was lost.

He attended college at Fort Lewis, Colo., and graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder.

On July 6, 1940, he married Wilma C. Thomas. He taught physics at Boulder High School for a year before coming to Oregon in 1943 with his wife and newborn daughter, Elizabeth. He was hired to teach pre-flight training classes as part of the war training program to Naval and Army cadets, intending to stay a year. The following year he taught in Pendleton where his second daughter, Carol, was born. In 1945 he was offered a position at Eastern Oregon College teaching radio-electronics in La Grande, where son, Tom, was born.

Carlos received his master’s degree in 1948 from the University of Colorado in Boulder and his doctorate in education in 1952 from Washington State University in Pullman. He went on to become director of education at Eastern Oregon College in the early 1960s and taught many Extension classes.

He served on the Teacher’s Credentialing and Professional Standards Committee for O.E.A. In 1965, he became dean of instruction at Eastern Oregon State College and in 1973 served as interim president during a presidential search. Carlos retired from the college in 1977 after 34 years.

Throughout his professional academic life he remained very active in the community, volunteering and remodeling houses. He was a 60-plus-year member of the local Lions Club, serving as president in 1949. He was active in all its fundraising endeavors and loved to lead the singing. He served as a member of the Salvation Army Board and the Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation Board and was president of the Chamber of Commerce in 1970.

In 1972 he spearheaded the fundraising drive for replacing the antiquated Second Street Viaduct over the railroad tracks. He helped create the baseball fields in Pioneer Park and was instrumental in helping the Lions Club create the George S. Birnie Lions Memorial Park on C Avenue in La Grande.

In 1973 he chaired the FOLKS (Friends of La Grande Kids) committee to pass a school bond levy. In 1977, Carlos and Wilma were named Man and Woman of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce. He served more than 30 years on the board of the DeWuhs-Keckritz Educational Trust Fund. In 1980 he co-hosted the United Way Drive and during the 1980s he chaired the city’s Fair Tax Base Campaign and helped organize funding for the new sewage treatment plant.

Carlos was part owner of a Cove cherry orchard. He created People’s Savings and Loan, serving as president and chairman of the board. During that time two buildings were erected in town now housing the Baker-Union-Wallowa Credit Union and Eastern Oregon Title.

Family was important and he took pride in his children and grandchildren and their schooling, projects, jobs and activities to the end. He was a past member of the La Grande Elks Club and a Mason. He was an active member of the La Grande First Christian Church where he sang in the choir, was superintendent of Sunday school, a deacon and an elder. He celebrated 67 years of marriage to Wilma, who kept a man with big dreams tethered to reality. He enjoyed remodeling houses, hiking, fishing, politics, barbershop singing, genealogy, poker, classical music and playing the organ.

He is survived by his children and their spouses, Elizabeth and Elburn Cooper of La Grande, Carol and Richard Haddock of La Grande and Tom and Mona Easley of Corvallis; several grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; siblings, Marjorie Bennett of Reno and Ruby Heflin of 19 Palms, Calif.; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Wilma, on June 9, 2007; and siblings, Grady Easley, Ora Ridgeway, Lena Atkisson, Cliett Easley and Lois Easley.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation, La Grande Public Library or the First Christian Church Memorial Fund.

La Grande Observer – Obituaries for the day of May 13, 2008
Former EOU Professor, Administrator dies at 91

Written by Dick Mason, The Observer May 13, 2008 10:34 am

The Eastern Oregon University community has lost a man who has an integral place in its history.

Carlos Easley, 91, a professor and administrator at EOU for more than three decades before retiring in 1977, died Saturday at his home in La Grande.

Easley was dean of instruction at Eastern during his final decade at the university. He also served as Eastern’s acting president in 1973 after President Averno Rempel had stepped down and a search was conducted for his successor.
“He was well known for his devotion to the campus and the community,” said Gerald Young, who worked under Easley as a science professor and later served as dean of Eastern’s school of arts and sciences.

Young credits Easley with providing him with instrumental guidance when he was starting his career as an administrator.
“He had a big influence on me. He always took the time to assist me,” Young said.

As dean of instruction Easley was second in command at Eastern. He had the same responsibilities that the provost and vice president for academic affairs has today.

Young said Easley had a special touch as a campus leader.

“He got to know the faculty on campus on a personal level,” Young said.

EOU President Dixie Lund credits Easley with providing her with instrumental support when she started working at the university in 1973 as a business teacher.

“I felt overwhelmed so I was very appreciative of the help he gave me. I always knew he wanted me to be successful and had my best interest at heart,” Lund said.

Easley spent a great deal of time reaching out to the community. The La Grande Chamber of Commerce recognized his efforts in 1977 when it named Carlos and his wife, Wilma, its Man and Woman of the Year.

Easley’s community service work included extensive time helping the La Grande School District get two major bond levies passed in the early and mid-1970s. The bonds had a major impact, paying for construction of La Grande Middle School and Island City Elementary School and the west addition to La Grande High School. Easley helped lead the committee that got the bonds passed.

Easley’s time at EOU dates back to 1943 when he was hired to teach pre-flight training courses for a U.S. Army air cadet program at Eastern. He taught at Eastern for a year, left in 1944 and then returned in 1945 when he was hired by the university to teach radio electronics.

A service for Easley will start at 3 p.m. Wednesday at the First Christian Church. Daniels-Knopp Funeral, Cremation & Life Celebration Center is in charge of the arrangements.

Joel McHale Dishes On His Dramatic Sons Of Anarchy Role: I Get To Be 'Really Bad'

Joel McHale fans are used to seeing the host of “The Soup” bring the laughs on his E! show and on his NBC hit comedy, “Community.” However, the funnyman is dropping the humor for a decidedly darker role on FX’s biker drama “Sons of Anarchy.”

“This is straight drama,” Joel told’s Laura Saltman of his “SOA” guest role, during an interview on the set of “Community” in Los Angeles on Tuesday. “[It was] incredible. I was really excited because I get to do a lot of fun stuff that I can’t tell you [about].”

Joel, whose character, Warren, gets to be “really bad” on the FX series, said he worked alongside Jimmy Smits and series star Katey Sagal for his two-episode arc, but wouldn’t come clean on whether his character sheds any blood during his short time on the show.

“I’m not going to say [if I kill anyone], because Kurt Sutter, the [show’s] creator, will — it’ll be like a cartoon in that it’ll be like, ‘I can say this,’ and then I’ll turn around and he’ll be standing right there ready to punch me in the face,” he said with a laugh. “No, I got to work with the lovely and beautiful Katey Sagal — most of my scenes were with her, but I did get to work with Jimmy Smits a couple of times and he’s pretty fantastic. I had a ball of a time doing it.”

The actor also praised the “SOA” crew for their smooth efficiency.

“That operation was incredible over there,” he said. “The amount of stunts and locations that they’re doing in one day and on location is amazing… it is impressive.”

Funny enough, the “SOA” gig came about after the cast made an appearance on Joel’s E! show.

“They came on ‘The Soup’ and then Kurt said, ‘Would you wanna come on sometime?’” he explained. “I’m like, ‘Yes!’ — and that’s how I said it too — and so it worked out.”

Beyond biker talk, Joel had a laugh over a repurposed “Community” publicity photo currently circulating online, which shows Prince Harry’s face photoshopped onto Joel’s naked body draped over a pool table as the cast looks on.

“That’s the most press ‘Community’ has gotten in the UK ever and I’m flattered frankly,” Joel said, adding that he’d like to join Prince Harry’s security detail as the person in charge of “the royal black light.”

“Community” returns with new episodes on October 19 at 8:30/7:30c on NBC. “Sons of Anarchy” Season 5 premieres on September 11 at 10/9c on FX.

Fashionable Fridays: Maid of Honor Edition ~ On the Run

Roll over images for details

So with New York Fashion Week being days away as well as the simultaneous launch of Shoe Week, I was slightly taken aback when I received some invites for upcoming bridal shows taking place in Oct. Now I cover bridal, that's not the issue; however, this season it has more meaning since my sister is newly engaged! So this season, it will be me covering but also have my mom and sister there to view the designs!

Although my sister will have a destination wedding, I'm pumped about doing the fun things like running errands and how about us doing this in cute hoodies she can rock the Victoria's Secret bride hoodie and I can have one that says Maid of Honor! We can also have matching cropped sweat pants from the brand. I never go anywhere without oversized sunglasses and this pair by Givenchy is perfect!

My sister and I will be running around and yet again, what's more fun then buddy bags! This bag is cute and perfect for my sister (although I would rock the gunmetal hue of this in violet) by . I love to rock a fun nail hue from Butter London and this hue is so fun when you ensure that your steps are also in the colorstory! In addition, I'm loving that we can stay comfy with my favorite flip flops from Havaianas. Keeping it in the something blue family, you're able to tie it into a wedding theme, a spa day for the bridal party etc. If you've yet to check out Havaiana's Hot Summer Nights campaign on Facebook, you'll want to see how you can get in on the fun by using your own summer as the backdrop to be eligible to win a trip to Brazil!

What is Equity Release?

Find out exactly what equity release entails, how it works, and whether equity release is the right decision for you.

Find out exactly what equity release entails, how it works, and whether equity release is the right decision for you.

Equity release occurs when a homeowner releases equity in their home to use on whatever they wish.

Equity release is becoming a popular means of funding retirement as people find it harder to build up enough money to live comfortably in retirement.  Those who want to retire early, perhaps due to ill health, may also consider equity release as a way of easing any financial strain.

Equity release is available to homeowners aged between 55 and 95 who have repaid all or most of their mortgage.  It can take a lifetime to pay off a mortgage, so for many Brits, their home is their most valuable possession and their best investment.

Even if a couple’s pension plan is enough to comfortably live on, there may be life goals or dreams that they wish to tackle that require a bit more funding.  Here again equity release could be a suitable answer.

There are two main types of equity release schemes, both of which offer a similar package but are carried out in different ways.  The type of scheme chose will depend on how much money the person wants and their specific circumstances.  Both types give homeowners the option to receive a cash lump sum whilst remaining in their home for life.

Lifetime mortgage

The lifetime mortgage scheme involves the homeowners taking out a specially tailored loan on their house.  The loan can be taken as one cash lump sum or alternatively a drawdown scheme could be chosen which allows the homeowner to take the money in stages as required.

No monthly payments are made but interest will accrue on the loan. If the homeowners have to go into long term care, or they pass away, the house is sold.  The money released, plus the interest accrued, is extracted from the sale amount and this goes to the equity release scheme provider.  Any money that is left will automatically pass over to the homeowner’s next of kin or a beneficiary named in the will.

Home reversion

Home reversion equity release schemes work slightly differently.  Homeowners, instead of releasing equity in the form of a loan which is attached to their home, sell all or part of their home to an equity release company.  The money received from this type of scheme will not equate to the market value of the property but they will receive the right to stay in their home for the rest of their life, rent free.

If they retain part ownership of the house they can ensure an inheritance for their family, as well as benefiting from any increases in their property’s value.

Equity release means people can remain in the home they love and let the money released from it ease their retirement figures.

Is Your Building Struggling with Cell Coverage? DAS can help.

When you are left without a signal, Accu-Tech has you covered--bringing you the Distributed Antenna System (DAS) from some of the top manufacturers in the industry. DAS works to enable radio frequency coverage for any location in which providers have trouble delivering wireless, voice and data services; whether you are a stadium, hospital, hotel, convention center or casino.

What is DAS?

Cellular telephone users have come to expect their devices to work everywhere. With so much relying on being connected, today's users can't afford cellular dead zones. Two major factors leading to poor coverage are an expanding user base and the raw materials utilized in today's building construction. Combine these factors and your facilities' interior becomes a cellular dead zone. A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) alleviates both issues, providing reliable coverage throughout your building.

Why DAS?

As wireless devices become increasingly prevelant in everyday life, the ability to have vast service coverage is paramount. When more users access a network, DAS works to increase network capacity, allowing you to scale during periods of increased usage. The rise in the number of 'green' buildings is another reason DAS is so crucial. Low-E glass, often used in 'green' buildings, actually blocks cell signals from reaching its occupants. Lastly, implementing DAS into your network will enable a flawless cellular coverage transition when walking from outdoors into a building.

-Increase Productivity: Expand mobility inside facilities allow work to be done anytime, anywhere

-Enhance Patient Care: Hospitals benefit by providing reliable wireless coverage to healthcare professionals, allowing access to information anywhere, and enabling use of wireless devices when giving medical attention to their patients

-Differentiation: Sets your company apart by delivering complete cellular coverage to your customers, eliminating 'dead zones' and increasing customer satisfaction

DeWalt is the leader in contractor power tools including cordless drills, woodworking tools and professional power tools. Their product line consists of over 200 electric power tools and over 800 accessories including: drills and hammer drills; screwdrivers; circular, chop, miter, table, reciprocating, and jig saws; planers, and impact wrenches. Known mostly for their line of cordless tools, DeWalt manufactures three different types of batteries: lithium ion, compact and XRP. Batteries of the same pact can be used in all tools accepting that particular battery. This convenience to the user is one of DeWaltês most popular features.

In September 2011, DeWalt will be introducing their 20 volt Max battery series to their current lineup of tools. The difference of the new 20 volt max battery is the slide-on design, which is not compatible with the stem-style batteries used with DeWalt 18 volt cordless tools since their introduction in 1996. New tools that will launch for the 20 volt Max line will include a hammer drill, a drill-driver, two impact drivers, a rotary hammer, a circular saw, a reciprocating saw and an LED work light. The slide-on battery is similar to the battery used in the DeWalt 12 volt Max compact-tool line introduced last year, and both can be charged from a single charger. The 20 volt Max batteries come in 1.5 and 3 amp-hour versions, so a lighter battery can be used when extensive run times are not needed. The introduction of the new and essentially smaller battery has allowed DeWalt to redesign their cordless tools from the ground up. Moving the battery to the base of the tool, drills and impact guns are now lighter and more ergonomic particularly in the handle grip which now does not need to compensate for the stick part of the old batteries. The changes, already a success with the 12 volt Max battery line, the 20 volt Max line will surely set a new standard in the cordless tool industry.

Rest assured that the 18 volt line isn't going anywhere and an 18 volt, 12 volt Max and 20 volt Max combination charger will be available in the fall to ease the transition. However, there are still many tools available for the standard battery. From saws to rotary hammers, many users can still rely on these tools being compatible with their already existing batteries. One new product to the 18 volt line will be the DCS370 cordless band saw. Weighing less than ten pounds, the DCS370 is ideal for electricians, plumbers, and other professional contractors who are tasked with cutting threaded rod, uni-strut, conduit and other metal materials. The weight is balanced perfectly from end to end to reduce stress on the user cutting in tight spaces or above their heads.

DeWallt has set out to accommodate every person in need of completing any task in construction. They are constantly inventing and improving tools to better suit the needs of the people that matter most, the end user. Their upmost concern for safety, convenience and efficiency has made DeWalt the industry leader in industrial tools. No matter what job is in need of completion, for years and for many years to come, DeWalt continues to provide a means of accomplishment.

Measuring System Performance Digitally

Measuring airflow at the equipment is the first step after checking the filters and blower for cleanliness in the commissioning process. Low airflow will cause low capacity and high energy bills. High airflow will result in poor humidity removal.

As energy costs continue to rise and our electrical infrastructure is strained to its limits, the practice of assessing equipment and system performance, in addition to the relatively new practice of whole-house residential building commissioning, will drive technicians to measure actual operating capacity of the equipment they are installing.

Tests include blower door testing, to verify the integrity of the envelope (home); duct tightness testing, to verify the integrity of the ducting system; proportional balancing; thermal imaging; and other industry-recognized testing to ensure that the Btus are developed - delivered and kept - in the conditioned space.

Let’s face it: Homes are dynamic. Any change to the structure, no matter how small, can affect the indoor environment. HVAC systems have a tremendous impact on housing or building performance, so their proper operation is critical.

The impact is so significant, that it is leading utilities, building scientists, and the weatherization community into the realm of HVAC system performance evaluation. Contractors that cannot measure system performance may find themselves at odds with these communities in a somewhat defenseless position.

Simply put: HVAC performance testing is quickly becoming a necessity.

Capacity and efficiency go hand-in-hand when it comes to air conditioning performance. You simply cannot have one without the other. Digital instruments may make you faster and exponentially more accurate when commissioning HVAC equipment. However, at the end of the day, how do you measure the performance, which, in most cases, is what you actually sold to your customer?

Performance testing opens a new realm of diagnostic capability, whether it be for your own installations, or your competition’s. It also opens a new revenue stream of potential business that is not only lucrative, but one that produces visible and sustainable results for your customers.

Thousands of new and existing pieces of cooling equipment are installed and serviced each year without ever knowing if they are operating at or delivering their designed and/or rated capacity. Operational measurements are made to verify temperature drops, airflow, superheat, and/or subcooling, but often the total system performance is never quantified.

Equipment is sized for a minimum delivery, yet usually never tested after installation for actual performance verification. Equipment performance testing should be the final step of the commissioning process and the first step for accurate equipment troubleshooting. Equipment capacity testing validates all of the preliminary data measured (specifically refrigerant charge and airflow) during the system commissioning process by verification of the final equipment and total system performance.

Equipment performance and system performance are two different things, and it is imperative that the contractor understands the difference between them.

When referring to air conditioning, equipment performance refers specifically to the equipment. Is it producing its rated capacity? This is a charge- and airflow-dependent factor. On the other hand, system performance refers to the Btus of heating or cooling developed by the appliance, delivered to the conditioned space. System performance accounts for the duct leakage and thermal gains or losses that the duct system may experience. Measuring the capacity is simply a verification of the Btuh the equipment is producing. It is not a measure of efficiency (such as SEER or COP), which cannot be field calculated.

Normally, capacity is only one of the measurements required to calculate any of the Department of Energy (DOE)-recognized efficiency calculations. The equipment will produce its rated capacity only when operating at its optimal efficiency. Any adjustment or deficiency in equipment operation outside of design will degrade capacity and efficiency proportionally.

If you think 13 SEER hasn’t been a challenge, it may be time to think again. Many consumers are not realizing the substantial dollar savings promised. Systems are plagued with humidity control problems and a host of other performance-related issues have manifested. With the changes in equipment design and operating characteristics, contractors can take the proverbial rules of thumb they have been using and throw them out the proverbial window. Satisfactory operation of high-efficiency systems is totally dependent upon proper equipment selection, installation, and final commissioning procedures, including performance testing.

It is imperative that the equipment is always set up to the manufacturer’s specifications, including proper airflow and correct refrigerant charge. If these procedures are carefully followed and accurate instrumentation is used to verify the initial measurements, equipment operation will surely produce the manufacturer’s specified results.

Equipment does and will operate with differing capacities under different load conditions. However, the rated capacity under these conditions is normally stated by the manufacturer in the engineering data available for each specific piece of equipment, including the condenser, air handler, and coil combination. Nominal capacities and actual capacities do vary. Therefore, the rated capacity for the load conditions should always be verified against the actual field-measured capacity.

In a properly designed system, if all velocities are equal, cubic feet per minute (cfm) delivered is dictated by the branch and register size. Air velocities under 450 cfm are considered too low and will stratify. Air velocities over 750 cfm are considered too noisy for residential requirements.

Equipment capacity is simply the measured output of the appliance at the appliance. It does not consider thermal losses or gains by the duct system or duct leakage. It is the benchmark of equipment performance and must always be measured prior to assessing total system performance.

Equipment can perform at its optimal capacity and efficiency on a leaky or poorly designed duct system. The overall system efficiency and air delivery will be substandard, but it is not indicative of the equipment performance. This is of particular interest to the manufacturer, as equipment will, almost without exception, perform as listed on a properly designed system.

When referring to equipment, it should be understood that equipment can operate properly independent of the duct system, which is required for air delivery to the space. A poorly designed duct system can be the root cause of poor equipment performance. However, poor equipment performance is usually not the cause of poor system performance if the equipment is properly selected, commissioned, and maintained. The technician, designer, and/or salesman can be confident that listed equipment will perform as stated in the manufacturer’s literature.

The key to proper performance is twofold: the duct system must be designed for the blower performance curves and the addition of external airside devices must be limited to the available static pressure. Third-party verification of equipment performance through the listing agency validates the manufacturer’s performance claims.

From the register, this run appeared to be 6-inch diameter, but a view from the attic shows otherwise. Bottom line: You cannot adjust and fix a poor design.

Performance verification must start with the medium being conditioned. For most of the country, the medium is air. For equipment capacity calculation, a vane anemometer is ideal to measure airflow as it is a nondensity dependent measure of the air velocity.

Vane anemometers have several advantages over any other method. The primary advantages are speed, accuracy, and ease of use. Vane anemometers do not require air density compensation due to air temperature, humidity, or atmospheric pressure.

The mini vane allows for a full duct traverse with an automatic calculation of the cubic feet per minute (cfm) in the duct if the dimensions are input into the instrument before the measurement is taken. As with any airflow measurement, it is imperative that the ducting is securely attached and sealed to the appliance, and the base pan (if side return is used) is sealed.

Air leaks upstream from where the measurements are made will significantly alter the actual reading obtained with this method. If done carefully, the measurement error will be less than 3 percent and easily as little as 1 percent. Due to the mini-vane’s aerodynamic design, changes of up to 10 percent in yaw and pitch of the probe head in the duct will result in less than 1 percent error in the measurement, making this the ideal probe for air measurement in the field.

Because of the complexity of accurate field measurement and inaccuracies associated with traditional measurement procedures, particularly in airflow and humidity, the capacity measurement obtained with a precision vane anemometer should be considered the reference measurement against which others, field and lab methods, can be compared in real-world applications. Again, air is never “standard air” (68°F, 0 percent rh, 29.92-inch Hg). The standard air equations like those used in the temperature rise method cannot be applied to obtain the high degree of accuracy often desired and achievable with a vane.

If using the standard air equations to compare measurements made with a vane, the constants in the standard air equations must be recalculated and the air measurement must be compensated for fan air inlet density. Air measurements made via a Pitot tube, hotwire, or flow grid will have significant error if the air density is not considered and corrected. Because of the complexity of accurately using these instruments to measure airflow the time required, and the low velocities often encountered, the vane is a perfect choice for residential air measurement.

With an accurate measure of airflow, all that is left is determining the change in enthalpy. Enthalpy is determined by measuring humidity and temperature. Because a very accurate reading is required, a precision humidity sensor is a must. Humidity measurements made external to the appliance with sling psychrometers and less sophisticated digital equipment can produce significant error due to improper technique: proper sling/air velocity, distilled water, clean wicks, etc.

Enthalpy is total heat, and will account for both the latent and sensible loads. To keep it simple, it is not absolute enthalpy we are looking for but the change in enthalpy or Δh. A pocket humidity stick that will insert into the airstream in the duct is all that is needed.

This is one case where repeatability and precision are more important than absolute accuracy. Because we are looking for the change, if the same instrument is used for both readings, the error will be identical on both sides of the coil and will factor out completely. If the technician measures the entering and leaving wet bulb and dry bulb across the evaporator coil, a reference table or psychrometric chart will make quick work of the final calculation.

Remember, all that is needed to calculate capacity is entering and leaving wet bulb and dry bulb along with an accurate measure of airflow in cfm.

Real-time capacity testing requires even less effort and offers the advantages of speed, accuracy, and simplification of the calculations. Using a performance test kit (for example, the Testo 435) makes the heating and cooling capacity calculation a dynamic calculation. Airflow, air density, and enthalpy are all accounted for simultaneously to provide a real-time capacity calculation. Btuh, cooling tons, or kW can be directly calculated and displayed.

Utilizing wireless technology for temperature and humidity, and a mini-vane to measure airflow, make quick work of residential or commercial equipment commissioning. In most cases, the complete procedure can be performed in less than three minutes. When making measurements of equipment capacity, it is important to consider that no appliance will instantaneously perform at rated capacity. Usually six to 10 minutes of continuous and uninterrupted operation are required to reach steady-state efficiency. The time may be longer for higher mass heat exchangers, coils, and/or systems that are operating outside of their design conditions.

Usually when the discharge air temperature stabilizes in the cooling or heating mode, it is safe to assume that heat transfer is occurring at a constant rate. Also, it should be considered that heat is added by the blower motor in the form of resistive heating and may or may not affect the calculation depending on where the measurement is taken.

Capacity testing is not new. It is just new to the field. The formulas have been around since Willis Carrier. Changes in quality and accuracy of instrumentation, coupled with probes specifically designed for this application, are allowing for quick and highly accurate capacity measurement. What was only possible with lab instrumentation a few years ago is now possible with field-grade instrumentation.

The accuracy achievable by hand is just as good as that done with instrumentation that performs a dynamic calculation. The difference? Speed and documentation. Higher-end instrumentation will allow for the field-measured results to be printed via a wireless printer. Data can also be streamed via USB into a PC for further evaluation. Digital opens a whole new world of processing power, enabling the technician to use the data immediately to make pertinent evaluations and decisions.

Chemistry Is Everywhere

Everything you hear, see, smell, taste, and touch involves chemistry and chemicals (matter). And hearing, seeing, tasting, and touching all involve intricate series of chemical reactions and interactions in your body. With such an enormous range of topics, it is essential to know about chemistry at some level to understand the world around us.

In more formal terms chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it can undergo. Chemists sometimes refer to matter as ‘stuff’, and indeed so it is. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Which is to say, anything you can touch or hold. Common usage might have us believe that ‘chemicals’ are just those substances in laboratories or something that is not a natural substance. Far from it, chemists believe that everything is made of chemicals.

Although there are countless types of matter all around us, this complexity is composed of various combinations of some 100 chemical elements. The names of some of these elements will be familiar to almost everyone. Elements such as hydrogen, chlorine, silver, and copper are part of our everyday knowledge. Far fewer people have heard of selenium or rubidium or hassium.

Nevertheless, all matter is composed of various combinations of these basic elements. The wonder of chemistry is that when these basic particles are combined, they make something new and unique. Consider the element sodium. It is a soft, silvery metal. It reacts violently with water, giving off hydrogen gas and enough heat to make the hydrogen explode. Nasty ‘stuff’. Also consider chlorine, a green gas when at room temperature. It is very caustic and choking, and is nasty enough that it was used as a horrible chemical gas weapon in the last century. So what kind of horrible mess is produced when sodium and chlorine are combined? Nothing more than sodium chloride, common table salt. Table salt does not explode in water or choke us; rather, it is a common additive for foods we eat everyday.

And so it is with chemistry, understanding the basic properties of matter and learning how to predict and explain how they change when they react to form new substances is what chemistry and chemists are all about.

Chemistry is not limited to beakers and laboratories. It is all around us, and the better we know chemistry, the better we know our world.

Prized Science: Taming the Red Tides
The latest episode in the American Chemical Society’s new video series, Prized Science: How the Science Behind ACS Awards Impacts Your Life, focuses on the quest to cure a terrible form of food poisoning caused by population explosions of algae that stain the water red and produce a potent toxin. Entitled “Taming the Red Tides,” the high-definition video focuses on Michael Crimmins, Ph.D., winner of the 2010 Ernest Guenther Award in the Chemistry of Natural Products. Crimmins and colleagues at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, study brevetoxin A, a poison produced by red tide algae. Previous episodes of Prized Science explore technology that helped shrink the size of computer chips, “green gasoline,” and the possibility that life on Mars seeded life on Earth. The series is available without charge at the Prized Science website, YouTube, iTunes and on DVD. ACS encourages educators, schools, museums, science centers, news organizations, and others to embed links to Prized Science on their websites.

A Day Without Chemistry
Imagine a day without cars, electric lights, TV, telephones, safe food, and water, medicine, clothing, your house, and thousands of other familiar objects that make up modern society. Do it, and you are imagining a day in a world without chemistry. ACS explores that thought-provoking premise in a new high-definition video released as part of the celebration of the International Year of Chemistry. A Day Without Chemistry follows a person who sees more and more everyday necessities and conveniences disappear before his widening eyes.
