Once-a-Day Oxtellar XR® Is a Treatment for Partial Seizures
What is a partial seizure?
A partial seizure is a type of seizure that happens in a specific part of one side of the brain. A partial seizure is the most common type of seizure experienced by people with epilepsy. Any slight movement, sense, or emotion can be part of a partial seizure, including visual or auditory hallucinations.
Many things can trigger partial seizures, including:
- Drinking alcohol
- Flashing/strobe lights
- Food allergies
- Lack of sleep
- Smoking cigarettes
- Stress
There are 2 Types of Partial Seizures — Simple Partial and Complex Partial
Simple partial: In these partial seizures, the person will remain conscious but experience unusual feelings or sensations. Sudden, unexplained emotions or physical sensations, such as nausea, can be part of simple partial seizures.
Complex partial: These partial seizures usually last just a few seconds. A complex partial seizure may have an aura (or warning). People experiencing complex partial seizures may lose awareness and stare blankly. Other signals include repetitious behaviors, such as blinks, twitches, mouth movements, or even walking around in a circle.
Although partial seizures occur in a specific part of the brain, they may spread to the entire brain and affect the entire body. These seizures are called secondarily generalized seizures because they occur initially as a partial seizure.
Important Things to Remember About Partial Seizures
Although partial seizures affect different parts of the brain and the body, they do have some things in common, including:
- Partial seizures don't last long. Most last only a few seconds
- While you can't predict how often partial seizures will occur, the symptoms an individual has and their progression tend to be similar every time
- Anyone can get seizures, including partial seizures. They can be caused by many different things, including head injury, brain infection, and genetic factors

Inpatient Referral Guide
How is a referral made?
Most of our clients come to us from a hospital setting. Referrals are usually made by a discharge planner or social worker at the referring facility. However, if a person is having difficulty managing at home, referrals are sometimes made by home health agency staff, concerned family members or the patients themselves.
What happens after a referral is made?
As soon as a referral is called to our facility, the evaluation process begins. A Referral Liaison will be sent to the facility to perform an on-site evaluation, which includes a chart review and discussion with staff. Many people have questions concerning the rehabilitation process, and our Referral Liaison meets with each patient and frequently also his or her family to describe our facility and services, and to answer any questions they may have.
How quickly is a decision made?
Normally, admission decisions are made within a few hours, and sometimes may be made at the time of the evaluation.
What happens then?
The referral source is notified of the admission decision and bed availability. The social worker or discharge planner at the referring facility will arrange transportation to our unit, usually by ambulance. If the patient is coming from home, the family usually provides transportation. Insurance verification is done prior to transfer to Farnum.
What kind of patients are admitted to a rehabilitation facility?
People who are medically stable and have a need for intensive physical rehabilitation may be considered for admission to Farnum. They need to be capable of participating in at least three hours of therapy daily. Most of the patients we treat are recovering from strokes, orthopedic injuries or surgery, neurological disorders, amputation, multitrauma, spinal cord injury, brain injury, or arthritis. We also offer programs for patients with cancer, heart or lung conditions, and congenital deformities.
What does insurance cover?
Physical rehabilitation is covered by Medicare, provided it is ordered by a physician and the patient continues to make progress while he or she is on the rehabilitation unit. In the case of commercial insurance, rehabilitation coverage varies from policy to policy. We feel it is important to avoid adding financial concerns to what families are already coping with concerning their loved one's illness. We therefore include insurance verification as part of our initial assessment process.
How long does a patient usually stay?
The initial evaluation done by our therapists are completed within 48 hours of admission to Farnum. The discharge date is set during the first interdisciplinary treatment team following completion of these evaluations (they are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays). This discharge date is tentative, and may be lengthened or shortened depending on discharge destination and speed of recovery. Patients who are returning to home are discharged as soon as they are independent and safe enough to manage with the assistance that is available to them. Our social workers can arrange home services, if needed.
What happens if a patient becomes acutely ill?
The Farnum Unit is located on the fifth floor of The Cheshire Medical Center, a 177-bed hospital and designated Trauma Center. The Cheshire Medical Center is licensed by the state of New Hampshire and is approved by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. Each patient is provided with 24-hour physician coverage. If there is a change in a patient's medical stability, other specialists may become involved, and the hospital's state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment are at hand.
How can I get more information?
For additional information or to arrange a tour, call our Referral Hotline at (603-354-6633) and ask for Liz Olmstead, Rehab Liaison or Beth Lukin RN, CRRN, Referral and Outpatient Coordinator. The fax # is 603-354-6724, and our email address is email@example.com

A Jersey City couple was killed and their three children were hospitalized while camping in Virginia when a tornado toppled a tree that crashed down on the couple's tent and injured the children in a nearby tent.
"We are a close family and this is very bad for us," said Luis Balatbat Jr., 47, of the death of his brother, Lord Balatbat, and sister-in-law Lolibeth Ortega, both 38 years old and of Danforth Avenue near Fowler Avenue.
Standing in his parents' living room at Harborview Apartments in Jersey City, Balatbat said "We are shocked. We can't speak."
The twister hit the Cherrystone Family Camping & RV Resort campground along the Chesapeake Bay at about 9 a.m.today, sending the tree crashing down on the couple, officials said, adding that they were pronounced dead at the scene.
Their 14-year-old son, Lheandrew, was taken to Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters in Norfolk with serious injuries, officials said. Lord Balatbat's father, Luis Balatbat, 78, said his grandson is in a coma.
The grandfather said the couple's daughter, Lharizia Ann, 12, suffered a leg and ear injury and their other daughter, Lheana Ann, 7, was struck in the stomach by a tree limb. He said all three children are hospitalized.
"I'm struggling," the grandfather said. "I wanted to go there but my doctor said do not go there because I am not well enough to travel. My wife is the same way."
The couple has been married 14 years and both were born in the Philippines. Lord Balatbat managed a Walgreens store in Greenville and Ortega worked in a lab.
Shocked friends of the couple congregated at the Danforth Avenue home this afternoon.
"I just spoke to them last night," said a stunned friend of the family who identified himself only as Albert. Sitting on a front stoop near the couple's home, Albert said "They were fishing … They were happy … I never expected this, ever."
Albert said he has known the couple a dozen years. He said the couple and their three children take a camping trip to Virginia each year.
About 1,300 people were at the campground, which features swimming pools, mini-golf, pier fishing and other activities at the 300-acre resort.
Peter Glagola, spokesman for Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital in Nassawadox, VA, said the hospital was treating more than two dozen patients, most of whom were in fair condition with injuries ranging from cuts to broken bones. Glagola said more patients were expected to be brought to the hospital. One patient in critical condition was flown to VCU Medical Center in Richmond, he said.
Hospitals in Virginia Beach and Norfolk had been preparing for mass casualties but had received just three patients, one of which was taken to a nearby children's hospital, said Sentara Healthcare spokesman Dale Gauding.
Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer 3rd Class David Weydert said crews also were responding to reports of boats overturned in the water in the area. Good Samaritans pulled at least three people from the water, he said, though their conditions were unknown.
The grandfather said arrangements to bring the bodies home have not yet been made. One of Lord Balatbat's other brothers is also in Virginia on the camping trip.
Associated Press contributed to this report.

Speaking of my mother, she arrived safely on Wednesday afternoon having left her house around 11am our time the previous day. I do not envy her that trip. The weather held clear until after she got here though it snowed most of Friday and hasn't yet melted. She's from Chicago originally and seemed charmed by our millimetres/day snowfall, being more accustomed to inches/hour. She's not well pleased by the cold. I had advised her to bring at least one pair of thermal long undies but she figured I'm always cold when I'm at her house and she wouldn't much go outside so she didn't need to find room for bulky warm things. I couldn't tell her what temperature we keep our house as we don't have a thermostat (our heat is on a timer) but Chris and I do spend most of the winter wearing long-underwear in the house. When I moved over my mother gave me a bulky Aran sweater she'd bought on her Ireland trip which I've now returned to her use. I wore it once as it's too warm to wear inside and when I go out I prefer a coat, but she's worn it every day. She did warm up enough that I could turn the fire off. I do think jet-lag affects one's ability to regulate temperature, so it's not just that she's unused to the cold. And I have a space-heater strapped to my torso and have not been the coldest person in a given room for the first time in my life, so it is possible that the house is as cold as my mother thinks and I'm just not noticing.
In knitting news, my mother has decided that she wants to knit socks for herself, and toe-up ones at that, so I loaned her circs (she had DPNs but not the right size, plus I couldn't figure out how to start Judy's Magic CO with DPNs), cast on for her, and explained Magic Loop. For the next sock I'll teach her the cast-on but I didn't want to throw too many techniques at her at once.
My baby blanket is almost done. I'm about halfway down the last border and could possibly finish today. I no longer have space in my house to block it properly (I used to use the floor of my office, now the nursery-cum-guest room) but I can wash it and at least stretch the stitches into evenness and shape. I hope. But if Yarn Harlot is right that an unfinished baby blanket can keep the baby from arriving, then the end is in sight.
If I do finish and have time before Little Djinn shows up, I'm going to switch back to the socks for my mother though I've still not had her try on the one I'm convinced won't fit. I did start the second sock though, so that's something. I think it's big enough around but too long and too tight to go over the heel, so working on the up-to-gusset part of the second sock won't be wasted.
That's life in the largely-pregnant land. Chris is working through the weekend, "up until Little Djinn arrives" so he can have some hours stashed for when Little Djinn is here plus his two weeks' paternity leave. My mother has cleaned a few little things around the house which I know is meant as "I'm here to help" but feels like "you don't keep house to my standards". Plus I am uncomfortable with the idea of sitting around while someone else cleans which means even though I'm tired I have to get up and do something, too.
Next weekend is both my husband and my father-in-law's birthday's. We're hoping to go to a seafood restaurant with my mother for Chris' birthday and have Aged Parent over on Sunday for his. Chris wants a chocolate mouse cake with coffee custard. There's always the chance that one or the other of them will get a child or grandchild for their birthday, though I think we're all hoping for sooner rather than later.

Ture North – by Bill George with Peter Sims
Everyone gets something different out of a book. The opinions here are mine only.
This book is all about following one's moral compass, as a leader and about authentic leadership. In many ways it is refreshing, as it emphasises that there are no cookie-cutter rules about leadership, so differs from other leadership books that may be more prescriptive. It encourages one to figure out one's true values, strengths and weaknesses and understand this deeply. True values only come to light when one has to choose between close trade-offs, often in a crisis situation.
The book traces in depth, through interviews, the leadership lessons and ups and downs of well-known leaders such as Howard Schultz of Starbucks Coffee, Chuck Swab of Charles Swabb, Narayana Murthy of Infosys, Anne Mulcahy of Xerox, Dan Vasella of Novartis, Wendy Kopp of Teach for America and others.
The book also gives useful insights on why leaders may lose their moral compass, being driven by external factors, rather than internal ones, drawing upon the experiences of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, contrasting this against that of Ronald Reagan.
It is easy in today's world to get lost in all the external demands and short termism and to forget what we are good at, what our natural styles and values are. This book is an excellent read – a reminder to stay grounded and follow the all important moral compass when all else is in chaos.

Snakes passed a landmark birthday back in early July, one that deserved to be celebrated beyond the usual night on the town. (Look- it even merits a blog post!) He was hesitant because we'd both had a stressful and difficult year, but I pushed back, insisting that this was exactly why we had to pause and honor this time. I reminded him of a decade earlier when we threw a party for his fortieth in our Detroit backyard, "The Circus in the Hood". We had an intern staying with us, working with Snakes at The Detroit News. As luck would have it, this intern also happened to be an accomplished juggler. We hired a local bluegrass band and a friend to tend bar. When the band took breaks, the juggling show would begin. We talked about it for years after.
Our social circles have changed almost entirely since then but we shot off a few hopeful emails to some old friends who were around for The Circus in the Hood. Incredibly, one couple accepted. They flew in from Detroit to help mark the occasion. I decided that a dinner cruise would provide an solid framework around which I could create a beautiful meal and memorable experience for Snakes and our guests.
Boat rentals are available at the riverside for around $30/hour. They have an upper and lower deck, in case of rain showers. I figured we could use the lower deck as our staging and prep area as well. The captain cruises south to where the Tonle Sap joins forces with the Mekong and putters along until the party decides it's time to head back up stream. I reserved one for the evening and set to the details.
First I went on line to seek out pretty, lightweight melamine tableware and cups. World Market came through with the beauties pictured above. I found the gold foil placemats at a local market; each is a different design. The price was far too high at a dollar a piece but after some shrewd bargaining on my part, I was able to get four for that price. The candles are from Amazon, LED lights that flicker through the wax casing. Our friends from Detroit carried with them the battery powered string lights that are seen in the background. I am confident we will use all of these things many times over.
A friend who manages some local hotels recommended a couple of assistants who had experience working in food service. I was thrilled to have two extra sets of professional hands to help this all come together. I planned the menu with some input from Snakes. There were a few items he insisted on having, shrimp cocktail was one. Again, our traveling friends came to the rescue with some fresh and zippy horseradish carried across the Pacific to make the cocktail sauce complete.
We started with a white sangria, spiked with St. Germain Liquour and Grand Marnier. I swapped the recommended berries and peaches for local fruits instead, fresh mango and lychee. It was not a decision I regret.
I served bruschetta with lemon feta dip topped with those insanely addictive sweet hot cherry peppers from Trader Joe's, a staple on my consumables shipment shopping list. I also made one of my oldest stand-bys and crowd pleasers, caramelized onion dip with kettle chips. It cannot, it will not be resisted. We all kicked back with our drinks in hand and a full moon rising over the Mekong as the captain pulled up the anchor and cast off. It was a beautiful evening, straight out of a story book.
Soon we switched over to champagne and shrimp cocktail which had both been waiting below on ice. The waiters brought them up and topped off glasses. Snakes took the opportunity to make a quick toast and thank all of our friends for joining us.
The sun went down as quickly as the champagne and the city sparkled from the river banks. We moved to the table and settled in for the salad course. I prepared a classic caesar since the greens needed to be fairly hearty and amenable to a little travel and humidity. Nothing fancy, but a homemade garlicky Caesar is popular for good reason. I had my helpers dress the greens just before service. Then they uncorked bottles of wine and placed them on the tables, refilling as needed.
The entree came next. I had poached red snapper in olive oil with fennel and tomatoes in my big Le Creuset dutch oven. It held it's heat nicely in the heavy cast iron. I prepared this recipe once before when we hosted a giant gourmet picnic years ago on Belle Isle, a city park in Detroit, where we were mistaken for an art installation. But that's another story. The point is, this recipe is delicious and it travels well. I paired it with an off-the-cuff green bean and potato salad with roasted tomatoes, dressed with a caper dijon vinaigrette.
Just as we were finishing up storm clouds began grumbling in the distance and a light rain sent us all to the lower deck. It was a perfect change of scenery by then, like shifting dinner party guests into the living room at home to relax with dessert and coffee after the meal. Though, cheese and dessert were yet to come, nothing so civilized as coffee was brewing.
Snakes opened presents while I served the cheese course and Sauternes. The ukuleles came out (I think we had three on board) along with a bottle of Four Roses bourbon.
Finally we sang happy birthday with uke accompaniment and a sparkler light show. The last and entirely unnecessary course was slightly tortured key lime bars. They'd gotten tossed around the cooler and squashed into their cellophane a few times too many. I doubt anyone noticed, I barely did. By then we were all merrily singing and strumming our way down the Mekong, headed back to shore.

Batteries and Things
We had some news on the J1772 front. Clipper Creek actually made some sort of internal error and SHIPPED us one of their charge stations in exchange for money - about $3000. This is NOT a 70 amp charger as I said in the video, rather a 40 amp model CS-40
It uses the white Yazaki connector. It's pretty sturdy. And it's $3000. This will give us a baseline for J1772 charging.
For most of our viewers, somewhat more important is being able to fit your build so that you can charge using J1772 - and perhaps at a somewhat lower cost.
We have published the basics in the past with a couple of resistors, a diode, and a switch with a J1772 receptacle. David Kerzel is the President of the EV group down in Florida and a hobby machinist. He's done a lot of small engines and so forth. But today, he has ModularEVPower, a web site offering J1772 components for home builders and he has come quite a ways very recently.
We received one of his machined billet aluminum J1772 charge ports at $160. We can get these ports in a plastic model for $75 from China. But I am a sucker for machined aluminum pieces on our cars and this is very gorgeous.
Second, he has brought the resistors, diode, switch gig to a new level with what he calls an Active Vehicle Side Control Board at $30 each. This actually uses the proximity switch in the plug to activate the charging process. Once the switch is closed, it does the voltage divide down to 6v on the square wave to start the EVSE sending 240vac power. It ALSO closes a relay that has the common, the normally closed, and the normally open contacts all available for your use. You can use this to interlock a charger, light a light, or whatever. Very nifty and I think quite cool.
Finally, for $230 he has the guts of a the J1772 Electric Vehicle Service Equipment or EVSE - the EVSE Control Module.
This is what you connect to the plug end proximity pin (5) and pilot signal pin (4) to perform the J1772 interlock sequence. It features a switch allowing you to set the output current level which is encoded properly in the 12v 1 kHz square wave. It also has a 12v output to energize the contactors. You'll need a 12vdc power supply and contactors to switch the 240 vac phases, and you have, for less than $400, the equivalent to the Clipper Creek EVSE at $3,000. Of course you also need the plug and cable, which is about $175, and an enclosure. A GFI circuit breaker in the panel would be a good thing. But certainly for about $700 plus enclosure you can build your own. We use replica gas pumps. You can use a pumpkin if you like.
Duane Ball and Scott Smith engage us with a video report on the Porsche GTS (904) build they have been working on. This is the latest Chuck Beck replica of a 1964 Porsche race car that slightly over 100 were ever made. Special Editions has been putting them out and sold OUT of their first set of these. They have increased the price of this roller now to $63,000 to meet demand - that's with no engine. Duane has essentially completed his build to the point of first drive/EV grin and is working off some DC-DC converter issues and a problem with his tachometer sensor. Waiting for a VIN number in New York. But the car and build are gorgeous.
We also did a bit of battery testing this week. I have moved my test bench from the home garage to the new facility where I have LOTS of room and now quite a bit of electrical power. And so we did a bit of cell testing.
I obtained 16 of A123's 20 Ah M1 HD cells. This is a 20Ah pouch "prismatic" cell that is definitely a Lithium Iron Phosphate variant, which we like and use. The spec sheet has it at 3.65 and 2.0 v. We found it operates just as our Thunderskies with respect to voltage, charging and discharging although the climb and dropoff are a bit alarming at the end. That may just be our inexperience with such small 20Ah cells.
In any event, their claim is POWER and they do indeed deliver it. We were seeing sag voltages of less than HALF what we get from the Chinese variants for the same current load. They are very stiff. In American fashion, they don't quite put out 20Ah as advertised. We like the Chinese style claim where they call things 20AH and provide 21 or 22. Not on these.
Of course, A123 has been unbelievalbly snotty about the whole thing. We got these from OSN Power, a Chinese company ironically, They sample at $50 per cell, or $46 in quantity.
Two problems here. One is that they are heroically expensive at $2.25 per amp hour. Chinese cells are going to $1 Ah very quickly now. And secondly, they would have to be mounted in modules of some sort, which incurs some work, some expense, and some weight.
One of the advantages of these cells is a 127 wH per kg energy density, along with the power. Any weight from the module build would detract from that - and any expense would exacerbate teh first disadvantage.
If we can figure a super cheap super light way to do all that, we may pursue a build with these. But it would be to get titillating video. I don't see them as an alternative frankly. They are just too expensive and too complicated to use. They might get you a few more miles down the road, but they simply cannot compete with our lego block cells we use now. If you want to build a racecar, perhaps. But a viable vehicle? I don't personally think they warrant either the price or the complexity. They are incrementally better at some things with an exponentially higher cost to deploy. We have followed this company for years, and they remain a LOSER in battery development. The only company they've really sold on the cells are very small outfits and Fisker and they did Fisker by giving them the batteries essentially - a $30 milion investment in Fisker if they would use their cells.
John Plasma Boy Wayland and Rich Rudman have done something similar with Dow Kokam Cells and for the same reason - power output, once John's "Dream Came True" and they gave him the cells gratis. Kokam also designed a module for them which they had most of built at a custom plastics CNC plant (again gratis) with hardware done by Jim Husted. The result is about 10 lbs of module for 16 of these cells, pretty much negating the density improvement and is just hysterical. Forgive me, I just had to laugh. This is so overengineered and overbuilt to no known purpose that I can't deal with it. I SAY that overkill is ALWAYS appropriate. In this case, they have taken this concept to extremis and beyond. You HAVE to see this http://photos.plasmaboyracing.com/LiPol-Module/assem
If we have to do all that to use Kokam or A123 cells, it likely won't happen. But I have some ideas for something lighter and less costly ( cost is no object when using other people's money). I don't know when we'll get to them.

Sorry Jack, I bit rip off here...
My 2c..
Jack: in the video you mentioned trying out the A123 cylindrical cells and found them wanting. Can you go into a bit more detail? I can guess, but I'd like to know.ReplyDelete
Also did you check the capacity of the two year old cell? Again I can guess what you might have found but nothing beats data.
Hi Jack,ReplyDelete
do you have a 10C discharge curve for the A123 pouch cell? Is there a dip in the voltage curve at the start of the discharge?
And how about the tabs, are they plated copper and aluminum for the anode?
I would love to see the voltage drop at 30C for these cells.
No frills info packed session. GREAT.
Keep them coming :)
1-ev.com, Jack paid for a 70A charger. Is the Leaf charger so big?ReplyDelete
What a beautiful battery case for such a small pack. A real "Look at me!" Jobbie.
I would be using a lighter, solvent weldable plastic with 4mm correx separators between every 2nd cell to allow warming/cooling air flow. Easy, cheap and quick to fabricate.
All pouch and cylindrical cells have lost favour with me on the price point. However, 123 pouches at 27% extra storage by volume and/or 10% less voltage sag at high C rates..... You pay for the pleasure.
If you read the last photo's comment it mentions this box is being replaced with a half pound one. The copper is for > 2000 amps - but I wouldn't know if that is overkill or not.ReplyDelete
I was intrigued with the mention of the DIY charger in the latest video. Where can I find more information on it? All a Google search did was pull information on the bad boy charger or something similar.ReplyDelete

Jack, you have a talent for one-upping me. When I buy the 550amp kit, you come out a few days later and announce a 650 amp kit. I've been wrestling with installing a http://www.gosmarttechnologies.com/products.php RF-50A, and was almost heartbroken when you had announced you had a 70A charging station. At least I still have the upper hand. =P Now about my unit. It's by an upstart company, they really don't have their act together. They seem to have fairly good hardware techs except when it comes to connectors. (I just had to RMA my front plate/cable because the connector came off the cable. =( ) Their software is a real quick and dirty hack. -- they don't really have any, they just crammed a little debian linux machine in there and only have a generic administrative console. The network setup is really bad, they expect you to set it up wireless networking using a laptop. I chose to remove the network interface and then hard-wire my network to the ethernet port. Problem is that it isn't set for auto-configuration that way. If the power goes down, I have to connect a machine to it, log into the admin console, and kick it over to the correct network. =\ I have numerous concerns about how it's circuit protection works. The circuit breakers are inaccessible unless you remove the cover, the LV circuits have no fuses at all, and there are no boiler-plate labels. My electrician had concerns about its grounding scheme when I had it installed. The company is slow to respond to communications, I typically have to harass them for 3-4 days straight before getting service. Yeah, this really is a nascent industry. I wish some of the big-boys would stop dicking around with puny-amp crap and get serious about 50A and 60A charging stations.ReplyDelete
Jack, you said serveral times in your latest videa, the charge voltage means nothing. But you also state that it is the result of the amps.ReplyDelete
But that is if you use a power source that delivers current. If you have a power source that delivers a voltage, like a solar power plant, it is very relevant.
If the charging voltage is a result of the charging amps, the amps are the result of the voltage of the voltage source.
Am I right? And can you there for translate the charging curve in a charging resistance curve?
I''m not at all certain I understand the question. Power sources deliver power. We can measure this either with an ammeter or a voltmeter.ReplyDelete
In the case of a solar plant, with no load applied, we will get an open circuit voltage. If you connect this to series resistance, this voltage will drop and the current will increase as a function of the ESR of the source.
In the case of a battery, it is a little bit different. The battery is also a source. And so if we connect one source (solar panel) to the other source (battery) we get a little battle going on between the two. Strongest source wins.
Assuming the solar panel is the larger source, the apparent voltage or the voltage read, will be the result. As the sun wanes, this voltage will drop. On the other hand, as the battery energy increases, this voltage we read will increase. But it is simply NOT the voltage of the battery cell. The cell will never have a real open circuit voltage over 3.4v in the case of these LiFePo4 cells.
To increase the amount of current going into the cell, we indeed have to increase the voltage of the source so there is a larger disparity between the source and the cell. But you won't read that source voltage because it is loaded - delivering current to the cell.
So it's a bit of a special case and quite different from an inductive or a resistive load that we are all familiar with.
So you are quite right, but I don't understand this "charging resistance curve".
You will have a charge curve. And as the pack energy approaches maximum, it's ability to absorb power/current decreases and so it's apparent "voltage" or "resistance to charge" increases. This we can detect with a voltmeter, but do not confuse this voltage with the pack voltage - the open circuit voltage of the series of cells.
This is why I describe this as a procedure - a recipe using a known "meter" that you can follow. The voltage is NOT only not sancrosanct, but it is the actual voltage of NOTHING. Neither the source, nor the cell.
It is a CHARGE voltage generally termed.
But if you hook up a meter and observe that, and put in ALL the current you want until you reach the recipe charge curve voltage, and then put in WHATEVER current/power is necessary to hold that voltage, until that current drops to 0.05C generally, (5 amps on a 100Ah cell), then you have reached a close approximation of a fully charged cell.
THEN, if you let the cell rest for an hour, and the diffusion/surface charge is absorbed, you will read the open circuit voltage of the cell - usually just under 3.40v - 3.37 or 3.35. We undercharge a bit and usually see a 3.32 or 3.33v.

I like this iteration of your definition of Voltage. It was clear enough for a mech. engineer to understand. If only AC was that easy.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 16, 2011 at 4:37 AM
To explain (for instance) a solar panel and a cell as two containers of water. Voltage is the fill height compared to each other and amps as the width of each container.ReplyDelete
AC is waves without an added dc component. ;-)
Great show Jack! Love the battery testing. Any test in the future for Headways which are very easily procured.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Jim
I love your show, and am starting a project car of my own. I have a question about solar cells, would they work to charge the batteries while my car sits in the parking lot at work? If they will, how much mileage could I add to my daily drive? I know you can't give absolute answers, but a nudge in the right direction would help.ReplyDelete
As soon as your car goes over a bump, the heavy glass panel breaks.ReplyDelete
Oh hum.
Welcome and we do sincerely hope you start a project soon.
Solar Panels on your car roof. This is actually pretty easy to figure. If you work a full 8 hours and all of it is in direct sun, it should add about 80 feet to your range. Just as a rule of thumb, I would estimate 10 feet for each full hour of sunlight.

I bought a poorly-converted '73 Beetle. Nicad flooded cells. I wouldn't make it up my hill. I just received 36 100ah Winston cells from China. The insert says to charge to 4.0v before ANY discharge. this seems to conflict with your bottom-balancing. What do I do?ReplyDelete
I'm getting strange looks from a local converter I'm considering hiring about no BMS. He insists miniBMS is the only way to go. I can' do it myself, 'cause I broke my shoulder between ordering and receiving the cells. Do I tell him forget it?
You do not need to charge to 4.0 v ever.ReplyDelete
You do not need a BMS. It will NOT make your shoulder feel better.
If the local converter will not do the work you want him to do, why would you hire him?
And finally, if ANYONE insists there is only one way to go, you are talking to a moron. Why would you invest your time in such an activity.
If you WANT a miniBMS, you should have one. If you do not want one, you should not have one.
I show what we do and why we do that. It is YOUR VW and if you want to power it with lead, burn it to the ground with a BMS, hook all the cells in parallel and charge them to 80volts. Then I think that's just what you should do.
At this point, we pretty much bottom balance everything. And we're pretty much giving up on the concept of advising people on electric vehicle builds.
There now appear to be a sufficient number of "experts" in the field that our input is no longer needed. Indeed, they've reached such a number that you should be able to hire one full time for about $1.25 per hour. We're seeing guys at stoplights wearing signs "Will advise on EV's for food". Indeed one expert estimates that the number of EV experts now exceeds the number of operational electric cars by THREE to ONE.
As I get about six e-mails weekly with advice from Dan Friedrickson, who's never built one and indeed appears to have never ridden in one, all at no charge, we're thinking of hiring them by the dozens and renting them out at a very modest markup. Kind of a clearinghouse for that sort of thing.
Take MY advice and do whatever you like. But note that IF you park the cells in your garage, unopened in the box, and they sit there for another year, that when your shoulder heals and you decide you want to finish your car, they will all be fine. We predict you'll find them all at 3.30 volts.
Yesterday, I got 98.5 AH out of a 2.5 year old 90Ah battery. These are GREAT cells.
You've got a poorly converted VW that won't go up a hill. How could that be with so many experts who know "the only way to go".ReplyDelete
My friend, this little industry phenomenon is rapidly filling with charlatans and confidence men who know little or nothing about these cars, which is all the more remarkable in that they just aren't that complex. An EV is a pretty simple beast. As Brandon Hollinger puts it so aptly, "The stuff I took out was a LOT more complciated than the stuff I put in."
Of course, if it WERE truly difficult and mystical, an expert could probably get $25 per hour from some hapless yuck for $1.25 worth of work.
The guy who designed and built the miniBMS sold Dan Blocher's VoltBlocher circuits that actually ruined every battery they were ever installed on. He then took a survey on DIYelectric as to what people wanted in a BMS, and had these circuits available for delivery 28 DAYS LATER. HE is the expert YOUR expert is citing as "the only way to go." I spent an hour with him on the phone trying to explain how the basic charge process worked, he insisted he knew that and went on to describe a theory of it so bizarre I was in shock that anyone could have such detailed information on such total nonsense and I told him so. We've never spoken again.
And there are HUNDREDS just like him on DIYelectricjunk and EndlessFear, and EVILDEAL.
And so it goes. I'm discouraged by it, but shall not relent. We get in, we turn the key, and we drive away. We do it every day. And we're very happy with the outcomes. We share this information quite freely.
But if you want me to advise you on what the rest of the world, including many many hundreds of experts, believe, I'm simply not up to the task. There is not enough of me, and I am not learned enough to do this. I have neither the education, the experience, nor the knowledge to take this on.
Here's something I might suggest. What would happen if you waited until your shoulder fully healed, and then did the car yourself. Every morning, you take a DVM and measure the voltage of each and every cell. And every evening you did the same. And you charge it and discharge it and you watch those cells like a hawk. And you keep doing that until you simply don't care what hte voltage is because it really really doesn't matter anyway. And you are completely and thoroughly convinced of it.
The other alternative of course is to Google it. And that seems to be the more popular one.
Jack Rickard
The charger itself is a far more important issue than is BMS.
A charger that charges to the correct voltage AND THEN SHUTS OFF is the way to keep your batteries healthy.
Save the money on the BMS and spend it on a Brusa charger.

Just watched your new show. Cool Show. Lot's of interesting stuff going on.
I was thinking as I watched you do the fuel cap on the Cobra that maybe it would be better if you used the LED strip in a different way. It's a very minor point and your probably not going to care, but it would be better and more intuitive if you had the LED strip gently flash during charging. Flashing signifies activity. You could then have the LEDs stop flashing and stay on when the car was fully charged. When nothing is happening the lights would just be off. You could also do something with the timing of the flashes to signify the level of charge.
....My personality flaw is that I tend to over complicate things. I appreciate that you have already put it in and it works fine the way it is.
Actually, that's the magic of doing your own. You can go overboard to whatever degree you like, and it can be very cool. I think it will be nice to just see the EVSE come on by lighting the ring. So that's what we did.
I do have some other LED plans for the car though.
Jack Rickard
Jack, your explanation of charging as a procedure really helped me understand what goes on. Thanks for your show, and for your kind advice.ReplyDelete
Mark, sounded good until I saw the price. Yeow! But thanks.
Those proposed black Sino Poly cells, around 2/3 the size and Volume. I really do need them already.ReplyDelete
Jacks turning the DC-Cobra into a LED Sled.
Last weekend. Went to the local Nissan garage to see if I can get a Leaf for the wife.
I thought it was a good part-ex deal.
Get an Elcon once you know the AH rating of your pack and voltage of your pack. Get at least a 3000 or maybe even a 4000 model for faster charging. Mine works great.

Can I camp in my trailer at the airport? It's self contained, I wouldn't need a restroom or hookups or anything. The trailer would do double duty hauling a lithium electric car.
Will we need to be an SCCA or ECEDRA member to race? Will racing cost extra?
I have, what I think would be, an interesting test for you. Perhaps you won't agree, and that's ok, but I just wanted to put this out there. Since you are doing the buddy pack for the Cobra, it brings up an interesting design question. You indicated at least one of the reasons for doing "buddy" cells of 90Ah instead of 180Ah is to help reduce cell variance as it relates to Ah.
You alluded to this in your video. The 90Ah cells dropped 13.7% at 500amps compared to the 180Ah cells dropping 20% at 1000amps.
How does the power output from a 40s1p (180Ah cells) pack compare to a 40s2p (90Ah cells) pack? Are the equivalent cell resistances the same for a 180 and a 90 Ah cell? If they are then you've essentially cut your cell resistance losses in half, which would mean you have less voltage sag and more power available to move the vehicle. If they are not the same, how do they compare? What about a 40s3p, 4p? Is there an advantage to parallel strings? Obviously this add considerable expense in battery interconnection costs, and if you are putting cell level instrumentation it would add up quickly, but given that these cells do not seem to require cell level instrumentation, could we gain some power by running parallel strings like you are putting into the Cobra?
I'm sure you can rig up a test in your battery lab to find out some real data. Thanks for your consideration.
You can camp in your trailer at the airport. I see no problem there. There IS an RV park with hookups in Cape not terribly far away. But i'm sure we can find a place for you to park at the airport. We will have a number of charging stations there, though not really an unlimited number.ReplyDelete
I don't think you have to be a member of anythiing to race. I don't think we've decided yet on any charges for race participation, but if we did it would be something nominal. I think $25 is traditional, but we haven't really decided on any of that. It's sort of a function of SCCA and ECEDRA more than anything.
We have pretty much decided to have an EVTV OPEN as one of the races - full bodied 4 wheel cars with Lithiums and electric drive. BUt I'm pretty much decided on putting up a $2500 purse for that one race.
We're also getting a lot of local interest, so we'll do some radio and so forth that week and I think we'll see six or eight thousand people from town out to watch.
All the races are Friday evening.
There is no end to all the tests we could do, which is ok since we keep doing them. What you propose takes several thousands of dollars worth of additional constant current load. I actually have another 300 amp device in the stack, just haven't learned to use it yet. No knobs. I have to put in a 0-10v analog voltage to control it. I just need to rig up a pot but I don't have the proper mating plug so I'll have to jury rig something up.
That would give me roughly 900 amps max full bore. As you can see, we can't really do a severe test on a 180Ah cell even then. And one of my 300A Acme's kind of comes and goes.
I guess I was surprised at the apparent less sag on the Thundersky's myself so we'll be doing something. Perhaps the ESR is cummulative in strings. That would sort of make sense. So some side by side tests are in order.
All complicated by new cells coming available from Sinopoly. So I don't know what we'll be testing next.
I know I got 98.5 AH out of a 2.5 year old 90Ah cell. I LOVE these Chinese batteries. I think the OEM's are simply missing a trick overlookign these guys.
Jack Rickard
...blue sky thinking...what about using the Soliton1 as a load. I'm not sure what you would do with the power, but you indicated that it does a pretty good job of controlling and documenting amperage. If you rigged up a current meter that put out a signal to the soliton that replicates the tachometer input you could let the Soliton1 "idle" and control current. For example a sensor that read 500amp and put out a signal that the Soliton1 thought was 500 rpm. 1000amps and 1000rpm. With this setup you would just change the idle RPM setting for the Soliton and it would control the current. Again, I don't know where you'd put this power, but it might be a way of testing and getting some crude numbers without lots of expensive equipment to get better accuracy.ReplyDelete
I don't have ANY problem measuring the current, but it has to GO somewhere. Into some sort of load and it is much more instructive to do so into a CONSTANT CURRENT load. So the Soliton offers us nothing in this situation.
We basically burn this power off as heat. I have a 240v inverter, but it has a capacity of about 40 amperes. To burn off 1000 amps, we have to have a car on the road, a car on the dynomometer, or several constant current loads in parallel. These devices cost about $5 per amp. If I can get all of them to run, I can do about 900 amps right now max in theory. The highest levels we've done is a little over 500 amps.
Yes, I coudl hook up a piece of galvanized wire and stick it in a bucket of water. Perhaps blow up a battery, but it would at least destroy it. And while I'm not averse to this, to learn what again?
If we demonstrate a certain sag at a certain load level, you can pretty much extrapolate that foreward at no expense at all. The cell with LESS sag at 400amps isn't going to reverse and sag MORE at 800 amps or 1600 amps vis a vis the other cell. So I'm a little lost as to what you seek, and unless it leads to something I too am curious about, I don't quite see destroying cells to gain YouTube viewership or something.
Jack Rickard
Regarding the "charge to 4 volts" phenomenon, I'm fairly convinced this was a misinterpretation of a poor translation from Chinese to English, and completely unnecessary. Originally it was supposed to be 4.25V, then 4.2V, now 4.0V, and was "required" to "set" the chemistry of the cell. Of course they already fully charged and discharged the cell at the factory at least once to see if it worked and to measure the actual capacity and resistance. So since it's already been fully charged at the factory and recommendations for longer life are to avoid fully charging the cell on a regular basis there would seem to be no logical reason to charge the cell to 4.0V that I can see.ReplyDelete
On an unrelated note, Jack mentioned killing Chennic DC/DC converters and I mentioned that mine was still working fine, possibly because I used a battery as well. Of course I spoke too soon. After sitting on a shelf for a few months out of the car it no longer functioned when I hooked it up again. I took it apart to see what I could see, which was a block of black epoxy potting which I have no interest in chipping away at. The dream of a cheap DC/DC seems to be dead for now.
Sorry for the confusion. I do not intend for you to destroy cells. I misunderstood what you said you were lacking and was just dreaming up a crazy way of controlling the current for your testing.ReplyDelete
I'll try to avoid taking this site on wild goose chases in the future. Sorry.
lol@blue sky thinking.ReplyDelete
I'm still waiting for an enterprising 'H' bridge controller manuf'rer to come out with a charger based through the regen circuitry.

Xiaojing Yan – Highlights of 2014
Xiaojing Yan will be presenting a series of new work in her upcoming solo exhibition at Lonsdale Gallery. This will be accompanied by a retrospective of Yan's earlier works on the upper level of the gallery and will be on view August 18 – September 28, 2014.
A major publication that will feature a collection of Yan's work to date is in production.
Be on the look out for an upcoming solo exhibition at Stouffville, Ontario's Latcham Gallery – more news regarding this exhibition to come!
Xiaojing Yan will also be presented at Art Toronto in December, 2014.
Bridge (2009) by Xiaojing Yan was recently on view at British Columbia's Surrey Art Gallery, as the high-profile exhibition Da bao (Takeout) toured across Canada.
Bridge is made of over 700 ceramic soup spoons—like much of her work, this installation relies on the precision and patience of the artist.
Xiaojin Yan's sculpture and installation practice develops around her perspective on identity, history and communication as they relate to an artist working between two cultures. Yan's work passes through the complex filters of different countries, languages, and cultural expectations. Her aesthetic employs traditional Chinese materials and techniques, which are reinvented though the lens of contemporary installation art developed primarily in the West.
Da Bao (Takeout) is curated by Shannon Anderson (Toronto) and Doug Lewis (Beijing) . This group exhibition explores both the cross-cultural and social dynamic between China and the West—Canada in particular. The artwork on display in Da Bao engages the metaphor of fast-away food culture; it presents ironic, critical, and humorous perspectives on the import and export of culture, people, and ideas.
On view at the Surrey Art Gallery, January 25 – March 23, 2014.

For all us old fogeys
Best old video I've seen in ages. Loved this song.
And a couple of other links for us oldsters. Old rock stars, then and now. Some of them actually look better when they're old. Also, a blog that revists the 60s. It's visually boring but has some fantastic links. Hours of fun for old folks here.
And I loved this one too. The seductive Women of Film Noir. Pictures and little bios of the sultry sirens from the days when movies actually relied on plot and character development instead of chase scenes and special effects.

For the sake of this argument, imagine we add a second table in src/language/init.c with only the M macro.

You can enter t_STRING in Math::PARI, you just need to quote the quote: Writing "\"Runge-Kutta\"" or even '"Runge-Kutta"' is a burden, but probably less than breaking the GP grammar. use Math::Pari qw(PARI Vec); $a='"Runge-Kutta"'; print Vec($a); output correctly ["Runge-Kutta"] (btw, thanks a lot for Math::PARI.

We are working on that indeed. Also we can provide a interface function: (assuming ploth take only a GEN) enum Func_tags {Func_ploth}; struct flagnames flag_names[]={"M...",}; GEN plot_proto(long f(GEN, long), struct flagnames *fn, GEN x, GEN flags) { long flag=decode_flags(flags,fn); if (typ(flags)==t_STR) flag=decode(flags); else flag=itos(flags); return f(x,flag); } similar to the arith_proto and now GEN ploth_flags(GEN x, GEN flags) { return plot_proto(ploth,flag_names+Func_ploth,x, flags); } GP will use ploth_flags, but data are stored to allows external programs to know they can just use ploth if Admittedly, it is a perfect overkill for plotting functions which are slow by nature. But we can make this mechanism very generic to every kind of functions without performance issue for GP2C generated code, or even GP once we will learn it to precompile code. > No ambiguity: a default for a long should be a long, and GD0 isn't. > [But I also look at "DG" with suspicion; note that it was not in the > initial implementation I did; I would prever it to be denoted as "D,G" > or some such.

In the 19th century, all guests and occupants of the manor houses were gathering together in the living room and they were warming up by the fire during cold days. They were talking, playing musical instruments or listening to the read-aloud stories. Men were playing cards, women were embroidering, and adolescents were having a long private disputes while enjoying the cosiness of the sofas. We spared no effort to recreate such atmosphere while decorating and furnishing our living room in Apartments and, as a result, to enable our guests to feel as if time has stopped.
However, we move with the times. If need be, our living room can be transformed into an ideal place for business meetings up to 21st century standards. We offer amplification equipment, projector and the screen.
During warm days, we invite our guests to spend their time on the terrace (150 m2). It is the unique and the only place in which such a beautiful sunrise shrouded in fog may be observed. In the evening, our guests are impressed by the red sun hiding behind the horizon at sunset.
At noon, a sun-filled terrace is a great place for the enthusiasts of sunbathing or angling. A part of the terrace is roofed over so that it protects from sun or rain.

Are you someone who instantly groans at any mention of Christmas? Love it or loathe it, the season to be 'jolly' is almost upon us and it's pretty hard to escape when living in London! So, rather than shutting yourself in a Grinch-sized box for the remainder of the year, take our tips and you'll be on your way to surviving one of the craziest and most exciting months in the capital!
Image: Mirror
Start early
We'll kick things off with an obvious one – no matter how long you put it off there's no denying that the best way to beat the Christmas scramble is to start your prep as early as possible. Whether that's getting ahead with your present buying before the crowds descend in their masses, or stocking up on those Christmas cupboard essentials well ahead of the big day – each small thing you tick off your list is one less thing to worry about as the day creeps nearer. A few baby steps and you'll be on your way to Christmas success.
Image: Telegraph
Fuel up
Anyone who's been shopping on an empty stomach (never mind Christmas shopping), will know what a foolish idea it is. Concentration levels plummet, dizziness takes over and you end up going home with a chicken cookbook for your vegetarian sister and a hairdryer for your bald uncle. So before you face any shopping, make sure to fuel up with a substantial breakfast at one of London's many wonderful breakfast spots. Our personal pre-shopping favourites include Hawksmoor for top quality English fry ups and The Lockhart for their carb-alicious fried chicken & waffles with maple syrup (aka – shopping energy on a plate!)
Image: The Refinery
Be reservation ready
Christmas is a time for eating, but deciding to go for an impromptu meal out in those last few weeks of the year can be tricky if you haven't planned ahead. Tables get booked up sometimes months in advance with restaurants bursting at the seams with hungry turkey guzzlers. To make sure you're not the one to receive the blame for ruining your Christmas party or date night, make sure to get your reservations made well in advance. You'll thank us later.
Wondering where to have your Christmas meal? We're rather fond of The Refinery and The Laughing Gravy!
Image: London Underground
Check before you travel!
While many think of London as the city that never stops, some may not realise that no public transport runs on Christmas Day and there's a limited service over the rest of the period. So before you head out on Christmas Eve for that last minute supermarket sweep, make sure to plan ahead so you don't end up forking out for a cab home!
Image: eltelegraphweekend
Layer up
We've all been there – that dilemma you face when the outside temperatures are sub-zero but shops and public transport are comparable to a tropical country. You're prepared for the arctic but find yourself sweating under the thermals. The answer? Layers! If you want to survive this season and its fluctuating temperatures, make sure your wardrobe is equipped with easily removable layers. We're talking unbuttonable shirts, thin jackets, pashminas… anything you can put on and take off with minimal effort.
Got any other tips for surviving Christmas in London? Let us know in the comments!

So, I have been contemplating on what color scheme I would like for this space and I am having a bit of trouble on deciding. I love all different styles, but my home encompasses more earth tones with a lot of warmth. I want something vibrant and a space to call my own. So...let's get too it! I am going to share 3 inspiration boards that I have created....please give me your advice!!!
Option # 1
Color Inspiration for Option #1 is navy and orange. The writing desk in the back is one of my current projects...a cream base with a little bit of distressing.
Option #2
Please, let me know what you think...comments accepted! Just let me know which Option...1,2 or 3. Any suggestions in addition to what I have shown are welcome.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Ecological Footprint
Progress is committed to a process of continuous improvement to the Ecological
Footprint Quiz. By incorporating new data as it becomes available, adjusting
our calculation techniques to match the state of the art with respect to
footprint methods, and redesigning the quiz based on visitor feedback, we hope
to enhance its overall accuracy and relevancy to current sustainability issues.
Improvements will fall into four major areas:
Progress is committed to a process of continuous improvement to the Ecological
Footprint Quiz. By incorporating new data as it becomes available, adjusting
our calculation techniques to match the state of the art with respect to
footprint methods, and redesigning the quiz based on visitor feedback, we hope
to enhance its overall accuracy and relevancy to current sustainability issues.
Improvements will fall into four major areas:
Scientific Improvements to the General Footprint Methodology
This quiz is based on a general methodology known as Footprint 2.0, developed
at Redefining Progress in 2005. Footprint 2.0 was a response to many of the
concerns expressed about standard footprint methodologies by scientists between
1999 and 2004. In particular, Footprint 2.0 includes the entire surface of the
Earth in biocapacity, allocates space for other species, changes the basis of
equivalence factors to net primary productivity (NPP), reallocates the carbon
budget and reports carbon sequestration biocapacity. Still, further refinements
are needed to make the ecological footprint a more rigorous tool for
sustainability analysis. For example, footprint methods are still lacking in
their ability to distinguish between sustainable and unsustainable management
of forests, croplands, pasturelands, and fisheries. Footprint 3.0 is under
development, and will remedy most of the remaining scientific concerns. When
Footprint 3.0 is complete, the quiz will be modified to be consistent with its
More Accurate Countrywide Averages
The quiz relies on initial countrywide averages for the carbon footprint, food
footprint, housing footprint, and goods and services footprint and then makes a
series of additions or deductions to these based on visitor choices. The
initial countrywide averages are based on data sets published by international
agencies such as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the
World Bank. There are concerns about the accuracy of these data sets and the
time lag between gathering and publishing the figures. Our goal is to replace
these data sets with more accurate data derived from in-country sources
wherever possible. In addition, there are emerging opportunities for use of
real time data derived from satellites that can alleviate the time lag concern.
These new data sources will be incorporated into the quiz as they become
Refining the Effects of Choices
With most questions, the quiz adjusts a visitor's ecological footprint up our
down from countrywide averages based on their choices. For each question, there
is a mid-point selection that is assumed to represent the countrywide average
in terms of consumption or behavior. For example, the quiz
asks a visitor to select a diet profile based on five choices: vegan,
vegetarian, omnivore, carnivore, or top of the food chain. It is assumed that
omnivore is the country wide average, and adjustments are made to the visitor's
footprint if he or she makes a choice other than this assumed mid-point value.
The assumed mid-point value and the marginal effect of choices away from this
mid-point are important topics for ongoing research. While the quiz relies on
published research in most cases, the overall body of research supporting the
quiz is still lacking. Because of this, we will be constantly looking for
additional studies that, for example, tell us just how much the carbon
footprint can be reduced by moving from a carnivorous diet to a vegetarian
Additional Sustainability Issues and Aspects
This quiz addresses the effects of a wide range of lifestyle choices such as diet, shopping habits, transportation and spending behavior, but not all. It is our intention to modify the quiz to address important sustainability issues and aspects we've overlooked or that emerge as time goes on. For example, when the first version of this quiz was launched, carbon offset markets were still in their infancy. Now, it is possible for households to purchase carbon offsets quite easily, and so we've included that choice in our quiz. The Footprint Forum will be the primary way we gather input and identify where we need to make changes to the overall quiz design.

Geoffrey Sherman, Citizen of the Year – Arts
By Lori M. Quiller
From his office at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival (ASF), Geoffrey Sherman can peek at the action on stage by switching on the small closed circuit television sitting beside his desk. His favorite moment is witnessing emotion catch fire in the audience. From a giggle to a crescendo of laughter, stolen moments such as this are treasures for Sherman, who will be retiring as ASF's Producing Artistic Director at the end of this season after 12 years.
"That moment shared by everyone in the audience…that's what I get out of this," Sherman smiled, reflecting on that stolen moment he shared in his office while the main stage, the Festival, was filled with schoolchildren watching a performance of "A Christmas Carol."
Originally from London, Sherman jokes about how he came to America "by accident."
"I was directing plays in Canada, and I met a woman I ended up marrying, my first wife, who was an American choreographer," Sherman smiled. "We went to New York and wrote letters to find work. I wrote to theatre companies across America saying, 'Hey, I'm available and can meet with you.' She wrote to dance companies in England saying the same thing. We got work almost immediately in each other's countries and the marriage did not last very long, alas. I joke about coming to America quite by accident, but looking back I realize that living in New York in a small studio apartment with almost no furniture that it was possible to live simply and happily."
At one time Sherman said he decided to dabble in television work, which he found lucrative. In fact, he's shocked even today at how much money he made by directing just a few episodes of "Another World." But, television was not for him. The call of live theatre beckoned, and an opportunity through a colleague brought him to Montgomery in 2003.
"I had my 'Oh, my God moment' driving into the park and rounding the corner and seeing the Festival for the first time," Sherman laughed. "It really wasn't what I was expecting! Really? I had no clue! I knew this place had a decent reputation at that time, but it was so far off the beaten track. It was a beautiful building in a beautiful park, and then I got to work with the actors. My first production was "Arcadia." I loved the production and the play itself. We were reviewed, and they liked it. I was asked to come back and direct "Shirley Valentine." I happened to be in the right place at the right time when they were interviewing for this position."
In 2005 Sherman soon settled into his new position at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. Even though the theatre had lost its state funding a couple of years previously, Sherman began to see opportunities for the theatre to continue to thrive.
"There is opportunity in the theatre to preserve our community," Sherman explained. Preserving community was a task Sherman and his team as ASF took to heart when he instituted new programs, which will surely serve as part of his legacy. Today, SchoolFest, the ASF Touring Company and The State Youth Theatre have all served to help bring the theatre, and specifically the works of the Bard, to the masses.
During the year, thousands of Alabama's school children travel to ASF as part of SchoolFest's matinees, which enhance their understanding of literature and their curriculum. The actors take time to visit with the students taking the play off the stage and to the audience to answer questions about the material, costumes and what it's like to perform.
The ASF Touring Company and The State Youth Theatre work hand in hand. The Touring Company take a play on the road bringing the theatre to Alabamians who might not know about ASF or be unable to travel to Montgomery. Upon their return, the company then works with high school students from across the state who have endured a true audition process to become part of The State Youth Theatre to produce the theatre in the Octagon.
Although he confesses that he doesn't attend the theatre as much as he would like these days, he admits that with all his years of producing and directing plays, there are still surprises awaiting him on the stage.
"Live theatre isn't flourishing the way it should be because it's so expensive to produce," he said. "No one is getting rich on Broadway or in any other theatre setting. We do this because we love what we do. There is nothing that can equal the effect of a live audience. I'm still doing this because I still believe the theatre can change lives. It's important. If we didn't believe in it, we wouldn't all be here."
