Sense ~ Shape the future of home energy

Tom Edwards I submitted a couple of questions on your website at least a week ago and have yet to hear back from you. Do you reply to questions submitted on your website? I'm anxiously awaiting answers. Thank you.
Sense Hi Tom - Sorry to hear this! We looked in our database and we don't see any open tickets from "Tom" or "Thomas". Do you happen to have your ticket number? We will be sure to get right back to you. Thanks.
Tom Edwards Sense I do not have it. Here are the questions that I asked.

1. I have been trying to track down usage rates that seem to fluctuate. The current theory, from several electricians, is that I have a damaged underground feed that is "leaking" voltage in...See More
Sense Tom - This leaking would show up as a constant unexplained load in the Sense output. There is no exact launch date for Android, but you can expect rollout in the next few months. The Sense app does work on iPad; however, is not yet optimized for it - we have better iPad support coming soon.
Tom Edwards Sense Thank you for the info. I'll be keeping an eye on your website for updates.
Mike Parker So, Tom, these are underground feeds to outdoor devices? They must be as they are downstream of your meter. If you put GFCI breakers on all circuits that connect to underground feeds you'll know if they are 'leaking' the next time it rains. Modern code requires GFCI breakers for most such applications anyway - gone are the days of daisychaining a GFCI outlet...
Scott Ringgold Sense - I'm confused then. Does it only run on an iPhone and nothing else, not even an iPad?
Sense Hi Scott - The app works on iPad as well, it's just not optimized for it. An improved version is coming soon.
Pete Voss like the Kill-A-Watt device, but with Bluetooth?
Sense Pete - This is actually quite different from a Kill-a-watt (or other current transformer). With Sense you don't need to go around the house plugging different items in to see their energy consumption. Sense shows you each device that's on, when things turn on, and how much energy each device is using in real-time.
Pete Voss Sense Does this require that the home has a digital meter provided by the power company?

Sense Hi Al - Very cool that you are interested in tracking your energy consumption. This is quite different from both TED and Kill-a-watt, however. Sense shows you real-time data by appliance, whereas TED shows you only the aggregate. Sense can tell you whe...See More

Posted to Behringer...

How are you able to expand so massively currently in a marketplace that has been pummeled?

I have read here you are hiring in each a state of the United States and several foreign countries as well. How many job openings are there currently?

What was the main reason that contributed to this rapid growth?

Can I find an outside source that proves these job offerings exist so that can share them with my friends in the industry that need work?

Thanks, Behringer is a great company !!!

Once - Lyric / Poetry - MobiusTripz

I remember hanging out,
Once,
I remember in under 24 hours, you almost "o.d.'ed",
Once.
I remember breaking up,
Once.
I remember speaking since,
Once.

Chorus:

Would you like to be ignored?
Would you rather be adored?
Then act as part of the Board,
Get on board,
as you've got me bored.

I am about living and loving,
Always.
I am the energy from above,
Always.
I am about positive action that's enlightening and lifting,
Always.
I have an ear, shoulder, heart, and soul to lend,
Always.

But

Chorus:

Would you like to be ignored?
Would you rather be adored?
Then act as part of the Board,
Get on board,
as you've got me bored.

I remember hanging out,
Once,
I remember under 24 hrs. U almost o.D.'ed,
Once.
I remember breaking up,
Once.
I remember speaking since,
Once.

I'd like to spin time backward,
Once.
I'd like to be friends again and forever,
Once.
But you want to be angry and hurt ignorant and intolerable and incommunicable,
Always.
You look so deep and black and hurtful with sickening vibes,
Always.

I have a word of wisdom and a word for the wise,
Listen.
Witches are real but not all of them voodoo or Wiccan,
Listen!
The spell they cast only makes them so much more the sick,
Sick.
This ain't my first rodeo dealing with a bitch!
Sick!

I have seen possession and wickedness,
Bitch!
Fake face and incredible pretend facades,
Sick.
Who you think you're dealing with the deep dark black bitch?
Bitch!!!
I am as sweet as honey or I can be pure evil and deep dark black inner wickedness.
Wickedness.

I AM Wickedness.
Wickedness manifest!
Alas!!!
Now I am forever in your head nowcast,
Nothing you can do will remove me,
I, like your conscience,
forever last.

I am more powerful than all the spells so written,
because I have the innate power and specific and focused intention.
I am the thoughts that make up your life... look right now,
In your head forever trapped indelibly imprinted on neurons,
NOW!

I am in your head more and more right now !!!
I am stealing your life and soul and ripping it all out,
You are terrified but no one hears your pleas your screaming blood-curdling shouts,
This madness all inner mental illusion will be real I have no doubt.

I cast you out.
I cast you out.
I cast you out.
A warlock revealed in your demise,
you were cast out.

You believe all this sickness and need such help,
There are so many with huge hearts that will help you out,
You had a poor guide before and were hurt and your pharmaceuticals very mentally intense were super stout,
Possession wicked witch you are I have no doubt.
I have no doubt.
I have no doubt.
No doubt.

I cast you out.

Now Out !!!

So Out !!!

Out !!!

Notes:
Screaming vocals shredder metal songs that may be ideal for some hardcore metal is my gut feeling. Hard core great lyric to put some real-life experience into with the right vocalist to be sung with power.
 

Mexican Lasagna

First in a pyrex casserole dish layer one layer of lasagna noodles.

Next layer ricotta and mozzarella cheese.

Next poor on top Chef Boy Ardee Beef Ravioli and add 1/2 lbs. ground beef with two cans of Ravioli.

Then layer a heavy layer of crushed Nacho Cheese Flavor Doritos at least a half inch thick and then top with a 3/4 inch thick layer of provolone half way through baking the dish.

Baking time is determined by you.

Brown provolone under broiler to finish the dish.

This will make two large pyrex baking dishes of lasagna.

Precook and drain two pounds of top grade ground beef.

Two cans Chef Boy Ardee Ravioli.

One large bag Doritos; Nacho Cheese Flavor.

One box of lasagna noodles.

2 lbs. of mozzarella cheese.

2 lbs. of grated provolone cheese.

2 pints of ricotta cheese.

This will use all of these ingredients when utilized in two equal proportions and baked.

Enjoy !!!

Top with fresh cilantro and fresh salsa !!!

Can make the casserole like a dip into n smaller quantities too !!!

If you have the time make all the ingredients from scratch but seek out to emphasize a bite into this dish that first says I am fine Mexican cuisine and then says wait, I am Italian too and perfectly melded.

Serve with Mexican black bean salad and garlic bread and you have a meal.

On Our Way To MathCounts

My Father is 84 and took a hard fall today. That man is still and always has been so much tougher then me its almost ridiculous. I thank God his fall has this far only proven to be a minor and insignificant incident not even noteworthy. He hit his head hard and I as his son know the truly hard head I myself do indeed have and think I must have inherited that trait from Dad 100% for sure. So I slept 4 hours before MathCounts regional competition today hosted by GMU, my college, and my high school's graduating classes service location. I profusely sweated and woke up in the night too and did so again once I was dressed in my slacks and dress shirt with tie this morning at 430 a.m. and I sweated off and on all day long soaking my upper clothing many times and then drying out in massive chills but otherwise felt impervious. My immune system is getting stronger because I studied some new Dr./scientist written peer reviewed studies confirming that the immune system basically resides in the stomach and is programmed by the DNA and that the microbiome if upset or missing or incomplete in any way can basically make the immune factory a chemical shy if being able to complete its task and therefore come to a screeching halt. Solution: Greek Yogurt plain with live active cultures and stay the hell far away from antibiotics. Well I am definitely stronger overall and this to me proves it as has a few other cold/flu like 24/48 hour illnesses that quickly passed and use to knock me out for a week minimum. So anyway we were both having it handed to us today but still appeared for our volunteer commitments and had a great time anyway. I am very thankful for that as what I witnessed as Dad fell this morning could have almost instantly sent me to the psychiatric ward as I would have been so instantly devastated  if what I thought I had watched happen actually happened. I prayed as I could do nothing more as my large but strong and firm 84 year old father tripped on a carpet leaving krispy kreme, where we got 15 dozen doughnuts and coffee for the wonderful event we both love to share with others, while leaving and he fell in the foyer and hit the wall with his head hard and firm with nearly full speed and momentum and seems thus far to be just fine. I am paying g careful attention to him and quizzing him often and discussing wonderful things as we always have looking carefully for any inconsistencies or threats. This after he thought I was having a heart attack this morning, but convinced him I was most definitely not. He hit hard and then was quiet and motionless a moment but kept his muscular elasticity still perfectly in control telling me he was conscience... Right? Or ? Is he ? Then the prayer and my Father instantly spoke and walked away nearly unscathed. Perception is an amazing thing infused with a blast of hormones under stress... but I know what I saw friends. Life is amazing and I honor my God today as I felt he spared my greatest hero by far and ever. I love you Dad. I love that we shared today and still have a chance at tomorrow and I thank you for having us serve well today alongside so many other fine people. I look forward to a well earned rest and pray I may annoy others with these Facebook posts for years to come and that we should all share that the same ;) I love you all my friends... It's not hard to love... It's hard to not love. I am thankful to have known so much love. Lord I ask you help me to be a better man today so I may guide others toward the live you share and the strength you offer, for without you I already have died again and again... and once again I testify a witness... Thankful for what I only step back from the shock of now finally hitting me with a little more objectivity and logic.  We, father and I, lost a friend just a few years ago as she fell upon the steps of the torpedo factory as she tripped and hit her head and passed away... all after an art class, she departed and today I am just thankful more deeply then I can express that my Father was so spared today. Thanks God... Thanks
