   I had a similar vision of The Better Half chopping celery in the   
   kitchen and Yours Truly stupidly turning on the bathroom lights   
   where a heater was plugged in.   
      
   I discovered a circuit parm called "Delayable" that *sounds* like   
   it exempts the circuit from being shed if set to False.   
      
   "Delayable Circuits   The factory default setting is NO.  Setting   
   a circuit to YES, enables the UTS to run ALM for the individual   
   circuit selected."   
      
   Next time I have the house to myself, I'm going to try some more   
   stress testing and see what happens when I do various things.   
      
   I'm thinking a 1,500 watt electric heater or two will be useful   
   tools in that regard.  Also, I have found that just a toaster   
   takes almost 1,000 watts.
