I went on a date with a chess player to an Italian restaurant, with checkered table cloths. It took him maybe half an hour to pass the salt.

Cruising Into Spring
By Paul Werthman

My family and I returned from a Spring Break cruise to the Caribbean last week and now I’m sitting at home writing this as a Nor’easter is dumping up to 18” of heavy, wet, snow on us. Amazing how it all works; clocks spring ahead one hour, lose an hour of sleep but go outside and shovel! It must be my punishment for those all-inclusive deluxe drink packages that start at 8:00 am with a tiny umbrella and cherry on top.

Smart Building Lighting Strategies Save Money
Steve Maurer, IME

For decades, lighting control in commercial spaces amounted to either on or off. Easy, simple, but not very effective when it came to workplace productivity in offices, boardrooms, and classrooms.

Lighting control eventually evolved in the form of light sensors, motion sensors and electro-mechanical timers. It was better, as it helped cut lighting energy costs by automatically turning off lights when not needed. Even so, the technology was still limited to either on or off.





Choosing Fasteners for Future Cabinet Upgrades
Chuck Ross

Manufacturing equipment is designed to last for decades, and the technology used to control those machines could evolve dramatically over that time. Electrical contractors can do their customers a big favor by organizing the cables going into equipment control panels so future upgrades are easy to complete. Fortunately, there is a broad range of fastening products available to bring organization to control cabinets, even in extreme conditions.





Smart Lighting Control for Today's Connected Home
Steve Maurer, IME

By offering smart lighting control, you can provide homeowners with the added benefits of convenience and peace of mind, and smart lighting adds to the value of the home when putting it on the market.
